Mike Rivero - conspiracy theorist and proven liar
Wacky conspiracy theorist Mike Rivero posted a gem on his site today:
The "Authorities" have a problem. They have been exposed as lying about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, the supposed link from Iraq to Al Qaeda and the supposed link between Iraq and 9-11, all of which turned out not to exist. We've seen a plethora of forged documents including the Niger "Yellowcake" documents, and the document that smeared George Galloway.
So now we're supposed to take the "authorities" word now?
I don't.
I don't believe anything either the government of the UK or the government of the US says now. Prudence demands outright dismissal of official statements by "authorities" as total junk until proven beyond a shadow of doubt by an independent third party investigation.
Having been stung by Popular Mechanics exposure of his shoddy 'research' regarding seismographs and the WTC collapse, Rivero has been in a slobbering rage against anyone and anything that contradicts him even if a better case is presented.
Common among conspiracy theorists is the use of double standards. Note in the quote at the top of this post that Rivero demands absolute proof, not 'beyond a reasonable doubt' or simply a better case, for anything contradicting his theories and blindly accepts faulty material that supports his theories.
Regarding the PM issue on 9/11 conspiracy theories linked to above, Mike Rivero is a proven liar. He claimed that PM stated that the steel MELTED causing the collapse of the WTC towers. PM actually said the exact opposite!
They SPECIFICALLY said that the steel in the towers DID NOT melt and they offered an explanation as to how they believed the towers collapsed. At best, Mike guessed and made a statement regarding an article he NEVER read. At worst, He is a stonehearted liar that will do anything to sell his theories to the public. Of course, there is always the possibility that Mike has difficulty understanding english.
The mainstream media has savagely attacked serious researchers, in part, because of fodder provided by those like Mike Rivero. E-mails to him correcting his mistakes are ignored or met with more conspiracy theories on totally different subjects. Use his site for the great daily collection of news links, but beware of the material he produces.
