The Frustration Ends Here... Or Starts, Depending...
"If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers."
- Thomas Pynchon, Jr.
"The most perfidious way of harming a cause consists of defending it deliberately with faulty arguments."
- Friedrich Nietzsche, The Gay Science, section 191

The "9/11 Truth" scene has made major inroads on the mainstream American psyche in the last two years. A record number of people now believe the government, at best, allowed the attacks to occur. Personally, I'm convinced the kernel of this is the same deep-seated suspicion I and many others have felt since that fateful morning. But the reason it's coming out in such a flood now has numerous explanations, one of which is the cumulative effect of various alternate theories, most notably the strain spread via the video Loose Change.

It is my opinion that these arguments have swelled the movement for all the wrong reasons. The “hard proof” crowd have claimed to find literally hundreds of “smoking gun” clues left laying out in the open. While some have real validity, many, on closer inspection, are fraudulent. Yet somehow the worst arguments get more air play and capture more attention and so the “Truth” movement has become dominated by the desire not to provide the most rational explanation but the one most opposite to the official story. Beyond providing endless distraction and requiring endless de-bunking (and they keep coming back!), this approach alienates intelligent skeptics, whom we need on our side.

It's not for me to say who has intentionally misled and who is simply wrong, but herein I hope to help break the spell of one of their key arguments – no big Boeing jet hit the Pentagon on 9/11 - in hopes of getting some people off that train before it crashes for good. Luckily others have gone before me, and this once crowded carriage is steadily emptying. Through careful research, I have found as have others that almost all evidence points clearly to a 757 as the attack vehicle, piloted by whatever means, and in the process have exposed a long thread of apparent disinformation running from 9/11 to the present and continuing despite all evidence to the current day.

Truth is a road, not a destination, and it's much safer to walk.

Please feel free to leave comments. I hope I've convinced, provoked, or otherwise effected people with my words here and would love to see any feedback, positive or negative. You can post anonmymously.

Words about The Frustrating Fraud and its author:
"This site [...] does what few do -- take on the Pentagon no-plane/no-jetliner theory head-on and expose the errors of those promoting it."
- Jim Hoffman, 9-11 Research, sites with original research on the Pentagon attack.
"I have been reading your blog. Your style is witty and refreshing." - Russell Pickering, Legendary once-proprietor of Pentagonresearch.com
"Blog Devoted to Debunking No Plane at the Pentagon: Unfortunately, like Russ Pickering (whose work gets cited), it's still essentially devoted to 9-11 Denial." - Screw Loose Change
"[A]s Caustic Logic has demonstrated, it’s only evidence when it’s legitimate evidence. False and misleading claims do not constitute evidence—they constitute disinformation." - Arabesque
"Adam Larson / Caustic Logic -- Critically examined the Pentagon attack and the charged issue of its disinformation surrounding it, extensively referencing earlier work." - Victoria Ashley
"[Y]ou’ve done a nice job on continuing to gather facts and reality based information about the Pentagon attack. Some of the comments gave me a laugh or two as well. You’ve accomplished far more in the past couple years in trying to separate facts from fiction than I ever did with that giant 1.5 million+ reads thread! - "Cat Herder" via e-mail
"Caustic Logic made a sad attempt to neutralize our info by casting doubt on us personally. It's pathetic and obvious. And he's a bad writer too. It's like he is a cointelpro flunkie but he keeps trying!" - Craig Ranke
"People like you and Jim Hoffman are dangerous to the truth. You will calmly suggest irrational suggestions in order that you mold the mind of the reader." - Aldo Marquis
"CL, we know you will never amount to anything more than a trash collecting janitor [...] is there some sort of sanitation website where we can check your credentials as a trash throwin janitor?" - Rob Balsamo/John Doe X
"Caustic, one of my favorite LIEHOPers!" - Killtown
