The former may be most famous for alleging that the attacks of Sept. 11 were an “inside job” perpetrated by a power-hungry government on its witless population, a point of view that Mr. Joseph said he has recently “moved away from.”

As far as I can tell, Peter Joseph doesn't believe there's any point in fighting the system directly, so he is concentrating his energies towards his vision of a sustainable future. He does not appear to have changed his views about 911; rather he is not oriented to the political nature of the struggle. I think he may regard the 911 Truth movement as fighting within a failed socio-political paradigm, and that our energies are best directed at creating the future. He may also think apparently that the money system needs to be transcended before there could be any meaningful change in society.

For me, his views have considerable merit, but there's an air of unachievable unreality and social sterility surrounding the Venus Project. Who would want to live in one of those circular cities? Peter Joseph seems like a utopian idealist although he argues that knowledge and progress is never static and fixed. I think some of the changes he wants to see could be expedited if the 911 truth movement succeeds in getting some accountability for 911 and also if public awareness of the Federal Reserve rip-off is greatly increased. I think there is great promise of enormous changes in the awareness of individuals and the whole of society from 911 truth.

Alex Jones had a kneejerk moment as a result of the direct challenge to his Christian belief system.
