Richard Gage Cites Holocaust Denier Anthony Lawson

As a follow up to James' last post, here's Box Boy Gage at the recent Hartford confab:


Note the bit starting at 1:30 in where he says, "Ten years ago I watched the towers come down on TV and I was just in a state of shock. And I didn't know what I was looking at. None of us had seen that kind of destruction before, save some very explosive events. But you know, we were told that it was an orange, and yet what we're looking at is an apple."

Well, most of you probably know where Richard Gage picked up that particular metaphor:

Anthony Lawson put that video together, and obviously Gage found his presentation compelling. Will he soon be citing evidence from Lawson's new video?

Hey, I'm just asking questions.

Gage also mentions that he's getting a five minute video on WTC-7 broadcast on PBS nationwide as a filler. "We're paying a lot of money for that." It's good to hear that PBS is seeking alternative means of funding.

BTW, along the lines of James' last post, watch the end of that video of Gage in Hartford. About 17:00 in, Gage starts talking about the "personal sacrifice" he's made for 9-11 Troof; "losing my house, losing my wife... not everybody can handle 9-11, they can't have it around them. It's separating families, it's separating friends, it's separating colleagues, so as long you're--what are you going to do? As soon as you step forward, yes, you'll take some losses, but what are you going to gain? What I've gained is incredible. When I've spoken to groups like this and people look at me in the eye and they're teared (sic) because they are so grateful that somebody is stepping forward and taking the banner...."

Troofers of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains. And your house. And your wife and your kids....

Since Gage said we're told that an apple is an orange and since Lawson said we're told that an orange is an apple, I'd question whether Gage even saw Lawson's video.

240,000 other people did, though, and Gage has surely heard the metaphor used amongst truthers before, perhaps in the inverted form in which he used it. You're stretching, Pat.

Sorry Brian. Gage is just an example of how even the so called experts in the truth movement are no better than the street level parrots.

Why's Gage completely bald now? Is he undergoing chemotherapy or something?

Stress can cause hair loss.

I'm serious about that. The guy thinks he's fighting a huge battle against an oppressive government. That can wear on you.

Since when is PBS selling air time? I knew the kooks had an "in" at the Denver station, but now they are getting a nationwide plug? I wasn't in favor cutting off CPB funding before, but this might change my mind.

GMS, so Gage uses a simple "apples and oranges" metaphor opposite to the "oranges and apples" fashion in which Lawson used it, and you conclude from this that Gage lacks expertise? On what basis?

Angrysoba, so you want to gossip about Gage's haircut instead of Paris's and Brittney's crotches why exactly?

Wake up sheeple! Don't you remember the CIA's attempts to make Castro's beard fall out and thus render him less charismatic? Ask yourself cui bono if Gage's hair falls out...


Open your eyes!

Because his wife isn't around any more, silly.

I might start my own blog where we can discuss Britney's crotch. I'll call it "Screw Loose Pop-Tarts"...

When did I say I made my conclusion based on that? Oh right...I didn't. If the guy can't figure out that they put fireproofing on steel because fire is an inherent danger to steel structures then his incompetence is easily visible; among a laundry list of other points...the least being he admitted that it was beyond his expertise.

The fact is that Gage in no way demonstrates any form of analysis and instead defers to his irrelevant credentials and the BS he reads online like every other shmo.

Yeah, Gage needs a haircut like the handsome devil in this photo:

I'd call it the insane homeless mullet.

One of the videos has been deleted:

"Holocaust, Hate Speech & Were the Germans so Stupid?" was deleted at 11:16:45 Wed May 4, 2011.

Database error, deleted by poster, or violating Vimeo policy against offensive videos? Taking all bets.
