Peter considers his work to be relatively accurate.

I think it's just poor scholarship as well as the classic defect of conspiracy theorists, which is the inability to tell good sources from bad. People have been writing "did Jesus exist?" books for decades and you can mine whatever quotes you want out of them to support just about any theory, and the amount of lies and inaccuracies out there about 9/11 is staggering. Most 9/11 Truthers honestly believe that at least 6 of the hijackers were found alive. They don't even question the erroneous BBC story (from right after the attacks) that some of the names identified as the hijackers belonged to people who were still alive, and none of them ask the obvious questions that come after that which is, "Isn't it just people who happen to have the same name and who had nothing to do with 9/11?" and "If they really are alive, how come we haven't heard anything from them in 9 years?" or "why didn't they call a press conference proclaiming to the world that they're innocent?" Consequently, it's easy for them to believe that this very easily disproven claim is actually true.

I mention this just as an example of one claim made in the film. Zeitgeist I claims the hijackers are still alive, so I assume Peter Merola believes that to be true. However, I'm not sure he really cares very much about whether any of his conspiracy claims are or are not true. Merola is interested only in conspiracy theories' value as a recruiting tool regardless of the veracity of the claims themselves.

Clearly he had to wake up all the sheeple.

He gives his motive as its an "art piece" these days, and that in itself is truly staggering because he uses his art piece to recruit members for his movement, which is the activist arm for another unsubstantiated group [TVP]

To imply Peter doesnt know its all lies, is more than likely false because he himself has tried all manner of ways to distance himself from it within his own movement and yet still publicly professes its his highest statistical recruiting tool.

I think Peter knows full well now that its all bullshit [after all its been refuted time over], yet he still keeps it all available for his own suspicious agenda.

I couldn't imagine being the leader of a movement that is based on such lies. I'd feel like an idiot giving any form of public appearance.

Saudi Arabs don't have that many names to work with, so naturally you'll find a bunch of Saudi men with identical or similar names. That occurs with Koreans as well; look at all the Koreans named Kim.
