Blair Gadsby, a 45-year-old adjunct religious studies professor at Chandler-Gilbert Community College, has gone on hunger strike until John McCain agrees to meet with him about 9/11 conspiracy theories. Gadsby thinks that the U.S. government destroyed the World Trade Center towers and Building 7 with explosives, even though he's apparently read the Popular Mechanics book on Debunking 9/11 Myths, for which McCain wrote the foreword.
In how many different ways is this guy an idiot?
1. He's bought into nonsensical conspiracy theories--his version has both Islamic terrorists flying planes into the WTC and explosives put there earlier, so he must believe something like this.
2. He apparently can't understand the refutations of them.
3. He thinks a hunger strike is a good way to meet John McCain.
4. He's an adjunct professor of religious studies.
Feel free to add to the list.
This June 11th column at a Phoenix alt-weekly suggests that Gadsby had declared victory and gave up his hunger strike.
ReplyDeleteI suspect it's part of a disinformation campaign to confuse the troofers and set them into disarray. They know too much!
