David Shayler and "Discrediting 9/11 Truth"
If indeed the strange saga of former MI5 agent David Shayler was about "discrediting 9/11 truth" (if that term even has any meaning anymore), then it seems to me that Shayler was specifically about discrediting WTC demolition and "no planes". To me, this implies that there IS some merit to these ideas (WTC demolition and "no planes"), if there was a plot to discredit it.
I don't understand why this isn't clear to Jeff Wells. Worse, Wells tries to make the Shayler story as vague as possible. What DOES Wells think Shayler was all about? It's hard to tell. Wells appears to argue that Shayler was initially simply trying to discredit 9/11 "truth" by spouting whacked ideas such as WTC demolition and "no planes", but then actually went around the bend and went crazy with his messiah revelation.
Actually, there are three basic ways to read the Shayler story--
1) he was an honest MI5 agent, then saw something funny regarding the handling of terrorism, left as a whistleblower, then became progressively crazier as he delved into 9/11 "truth" and the bizarre sides of 9/11, finally emerging as a self-described messiah.
2) he was an honest MI5 agent, then saw something funny regarding the handling of terrorism, left as a whistleblower, then became progressively more of a whistleblower as he delved into 9/11 "truth" and the bizarre 9/11 operation, to the extent that he became a nuisance, where upon he was treated in some way by MI5 to start discrediting himself with his last nonsense.
3) he was always an MI5 (or other) agent, and his whole saga was a scam, meant to discredit 9/11 truth from the beginning.
Wells apparently believes #1.
I say, never trust anyone from an intelligence agency, and the answer is more likely #3.
