’)WSJ Anti-Conspiracy Theorist David Aaronovitch Get’s Owned!!
On December, 19th 2009 David wrote an editorial for the Journal entitled “A Conspiracy-Theory Theory; How to fend off the people who insist they know the 'real story' behind everything.” It was your typical corporate media chimerical piece of garbage attempting to discredit those whom ask logical questions. In the article he defends every official version from Aids to 9/11. Unfortunately for old Dave WSJ readers our much more open minded and educated than your average mainstream news subscriber. The user comments tore him apart and one in a humorous way exposed him as a hypocritical fool! The user (Simon Ring) wrote the following.

Is this the same David Aaronovitch who, just six days after the invasion of Iraq wrote:
"I was never in favour of this war mainly because of the threats of terrorism or WMDs. Getting rid of Saddam (and therefore the myriad afflictions of the Iraqi people) was enough. But the weapons were the pretext on which the invasion was sold to a lot of people in this country, and was attempted to be sold to the people of the world. The British dossiers, released last autumn, claimed that Iraq had continued to produce chemical and biological weapons, drawn up military plans for their use, retained illegal missiles capable of carrying WMD warheads, and concealed equipment from the weapons inspectors.
At the United Nations in February, the US Secretary of State, Colin Powell, presented evidence claiming that there were mobile laboratories and showing clear signs that the Iraqis had moved material to escape inspection from UN teams. Put together, all this was argued as constituting a clear breach of UN resolutions that therefore required urgent action.
These claims cannot be wished away in the light of a successful war. If nothing is eventually found, I - as a supporter of the war - will never believe another thing that I am told by our government, or that of the US ever again. And, more to the point, neither will anyone else. Those weapons had better be there somewhere. They probably are."
This was not sourced from one of your "exotic" media outlets David. It was sourced from one of your "reliable" mainstream media outlets. The Guardian, London. And you wrote it.

Now, you would have us all believing our governments again.
Have I got that right David?
Your call.
