9/11 Truther Convinced Government Destroyed Past 11 Years Of His Life
PROVIDENCE, RICiting overwhelming evidence, 9/11 Truth movement adherent Dennis E. Shaw, 53, told reporters Tuesday that he believes the U.S. government has orchestrated a secret, intricate plot to systematically destroy his entire life over the past 11 years.
Shaw, who since 2001 has lost his job, seen his marriage end, and, according to friends, completely alienated himself from mainstream society, argued that there are serious reasons to doubt the commonly accepted explanation that his slide into reclusion and paranoia was his own fault.
The official story is all too familiar, said Shaw, a self-identified 9/11 Truther who hands out pamphlets at Kennedy Plaza from 2 to 6 p.m. every day. On Sept. 11, 2001, terrorists crashed three planes into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Then, over the ensuing months and years, my obsession with the truth behind those events supposedly led to the gradual collapse of my personal and professional life. But this convenient little narrative requires us to believe a series of highly improbable coincidences.
Open your eyes, and youll see the puppet masters fingerprints are all over my pathetic, seemingly self-destructive existence, he added.
Pointing to a detailed timeline scrawled on poster board affixed to the wall of a studio apartment cluttered with 9/11 paraphernalia, Shaw reviewed the events that, he believes, happened too perfectly to be anything but the intentional, controlled demolition of [his] life.
In January 2004, my wife said she wished I spent more time with her instead of on Internet Truther forums, yet somehow, in April of that very same year she complained that it was becoming unbearable to be around me, he said, showing reporters a day-by-day account of the couples failed relationship. It simply doesnt add up that Melissa would say she wanted to be with me both more often and less oftenunless, that is, an outside party like the U.S. government wanted her to say it.
Meanwhileand this is where it really gets interestingon four separate occasions in 2002 I recorded my mother saying she thought my research was interesting and worth thinking about, continued the man, who confirmed he has watched the film series Loose Change seven or eight times in the past week. How was it, then, that by November of the following year she was calling it crazy and sad, a complete reversal of her original stance?
Shaw went on to present a chart showing the suspiciously rapid disintegration of his friendships since 2001, noting the disparity between the 258 social interactions he shared with his best friend, Stephen Danforth, in the years before 2001 and the mere 17 interactions theyve had since then, a decline Shaw said cant be explained by pure, random chance.
Recently, the 53-year-old created a website dedicated to uncovering what really happened to Dennis E. Shaws life, in which he posits the existence of a shadowy government conspiracy whose sole purpose is to engineer his downfall.
Everyones in on itBush, Cheney, Bernanke, Israel, and now Obama, said Shaw, claiming that an entire life and career couldnt just collapse like this all on its own. Not a single one of them has ever come forward to deny their involvement in the destruction of my life.
Even ignoring the rest of the evidence, Shaw remarked, the fact that he lost his job as a reporter for The Providence Journal mere weeks after writing articles in which he described 9/11 as an inside job was, in itself, a smoking gun in Uncle Sams hand.
On the evening of October 28, 2005, I handed in an article exposing Bush and Cheneys cover-up of the real 9/11 Commission report. Well, what a surprise that the very next morning I was fired from my job by my editor, a man I have reason to believe has connections to the FBI, the CIA and, yes, Dick Cheney, said Shaw, whose former employer cited repeated breaches of journalistic integrity and erratic behavior as the reason for Shaws dismissal. Fast-forward three years and my rent has shot up, my credit score has dropped, and Melissa is no longer taking my calls. You think that was all some kind of magical coincidence? Think again.
Smoking cigarette after cigarette, Shaw then proceeded to show reporters a homemade videotape he shot of his ex-wife returning to his apartment to pick up her toaster, rewinding the tape over and over again to spot what he believed could be government surveillance devices concealed in her clothing.
The facts speak for themselvesIm just connecting the dots, said Shaw, reiterating that only the sinister machinations of the U.S. government could make a formerly happy, stable human
It is seriously good for a laugh.
I am afraid to admit I know some one like this. I mean a full blown, certified Ph.d scientist. He believes that in the Mayan end of the world conspiracy. You should hear him, he swears that on 12/21 the earths rotation is going to stop, go the opposite way and wreck havoc on the earths polarity. supposedly I'll be able to float or some thing.
