Kevin Barrett: Media hide truth: 9/11 was inside job

http://www.madison.com

Last Saturday, former Bush administration official Morgan Reynolds drew an enthusiastic capacity crowd to the Wisconsin Historical Society auditorium. It is probably the first time in Historical Society history that a political talk has drawn a full house on a Saturday afternoon at the beginning of final exams.
...
Normally, if a prestigious UW alumnus and ex-Bush administration official were to come to the Wisconsin Historical Society to spill the beans about a Bush administration scandal, it would make the news. The local TV stations would cover it, and it would merit front page headlines in The Capital Times and Wisconsin State Journal.
...
Despite the prestigious speaker and venue, and the gravity of the charges aired, for most Americans indeed most Madisonians the event never happened. Why? Because it was censored, subjected to a total media blackout. Not a word in the State Journal. Not a word in The Capital Times. Not a word on the local TV news. Not a word on local radio news. And, of course, not a word in the national media.

Why the blackout? Because Reynolds violated the ultimate U.S. media taboo. He charges the Bush administration with orchestrating the 9/11 attacks as a pretext for launching a preplanned "long war" in the Middle East, rolling back our civil liberties, and massively increasing military spending.

When a former Bush administration insider makes such charges, how can the media ignore them? Is Reynolds a lone crank? Hardly. A long list of prominent Americans have spoken out for 9/11 truth: Rev. William Sloane Coffin, Sen. Barbara Boxer, former head of the Star Wars program Col. Robert Bowman, ex-Reagan administration economics guru Paul Craig Roberts, progressive Jewish author-activist Rabbi Michael Lerner, former CIA official Ray McGovern, author-essayist Gore Vidal, and many other respected names from across the political spectrum have gone on the record for 9/11 truth.
...
As a Watergate-era graduate of the University of Wisconsin School of Journalism, I was taught that exposing government lies and corruption is the supreme duty of the Fourth Estate. I simply cannot fathom the current situation. I do not understand the 9/11 truth blackout. I wish someone would explain it to me.

It is time to break the 9/11 truth blackout. Please put pressure on your local media through letters to the editor, call-ins to talk radio, and phone calls to local and national journalists.

Thanks to FHB for this submission.

Wow. Post these, post Everybody's Gotta Learn, DO NOT let the left-right paradigm call us "whackos" anymore.
The fact that they lied to us about 9/11 and allowed it to happen at the very least is fact, not theory.

The MSNBC article is a total hit piece. The CBS article is not at all about questiong 9/11. It totally reinforces the official story. I'm not sure what pockybot got excited about.

The media blackout had at

The media blackout had at least one precedent - the OJ Simpson case:
After initially blaming OJ for everything, causing his financial and social ruin, just about a year after it was over evidence surfaced that powerfully incriminated an LA police officer, Mark Fuhrman, as the murderer. Web sites (like www.smartfellowspress.com) and books (like "Solving the Simpson murder mystery") launched and exposed the scandal.

But the media wouldn't let a single bit of it get into it into their politically correct "script", to this very day. So just about everyone still thinks he did it, and Mark Fuhrman is remembered as "just a racist cop".

No one in the media dares to blow these scandals wide open, and why? I guess the best explanation is they're wanting to "lull" all of their audience into a sense of "security", don't want to destroy their believe in the "good", want to make everybody believe that _governments_ or _police_ would *never ever* commit a crime, no no no....

Hey all - Your opinions

Hey all -

Your opinions please: I'm wondering about the feasibility of holding a nation-wide (world-wide?) boycott of all corporate owned/ government shill national media - especially print media. How may hard core 911 truthers do you think there are now? I know it's impossible to say with confidence - but I also know the number is growing daily. Do you think it has gotten to the point where we could make a real impact? We could call it "Boycott for Truth" or something along those lines. Thoughts? One problem I'm foreseeing is that many, if not most of us don't buy or watch the crap anyway - but at least we could make a very vocal stand for a media boycott to bring to widepread public attention the lock-down on 9/11 facts.

I just looked through that 500 post thread. Wow.

I thought the "no plane hit the pentagon or Shanksville" argument was embarassing, "tv fakery" and "holograms"?

Anyone promoting these obviously holocaust denial-esque baffoonery obviously ddidnt see th epicture of a giant fuselage in the middle of the street. Yep, it was just planted! Everyone who capture the second plane hit, got cgi programs!

No wonder there are MSM hit pieces on 9/11, we continue to allow patently bogus garbage like the pentagon theory(I swear, I think the government may have first foistered that theory...those 5 frames are FAKE. They removed the plane on purpose)
The swapped planes, no planes. Oy vei.

Remote control is VERY possible I believe, as I have seen pictures of all sorts of parts in the crater in Shanksvilel and the Pentagon hole.

The pod/flash crap got laughed out of the 9/11 truth movement...when will the 'no plane/swapped plane/missle' finally be exiled into the land of "we didnt land on the moon" crap?

Anyone see Bill Maher? Were they talking about 9/11 again? I came in right when "Against All Enemies" Richard Clarke was spouting his new turn-tail/turn-coat line, that people who believe in conspiracies believe the govt. is competent- they could've been talking about Katrina or 9/11, Bill steered the subject away from whatever it was they were talking about.

In an interview last night

In an interview last night for BBC's Straight Talk, the former International Development Minister, Clare Short, stated that Michael Meacher is preparing a leadership challeng against Tony Blair if he fails to let the party know soon just when he will be stepping down. This could be fantastic news.

Huh - the 4th estate refers to the press. A fifth column refers to a faction, working towards its own interests, within government.

Indeed he is. He's still a prominent backbench MP and has become more and more criticical of Blair and his policies, as have a large number of Labour Party members. There's little chance of him winning any leadership contest, if and when one arrives, but it will increase his chances of getting a position in a newly formed cabinet.
Apparently he is planning to have a screening of Loose Change in Westminter next month.

Colin | 05.14.06 - 5:53 am | #

Yeah, living in The UK, but not for much longer.
To be honest, people are just starting to realise that the official versions of 9/11 and 7/7 don't hold up, mainly through word of mouth as the press are still burying their heads in the sand. There are numerous calls for an independent inquiry into 7/7, but the Govt. are staunchly refusing.

As with The US, political apathy is widespread, so the majority of people don't realise the implications of laws that are being passed - such as the recent 'inciting racial hatred' bill and the introduction of ID cards. People just let them slide, under the impression that they are good people, with nothing to hide and therefore won't be affected by such laws.

I'm thrilled to see the shift in focus towards provable fact on this board (and in the movement generally). It's the only way forward, and I think people are really beginning to respond.

It's ALL ABOUT remembering who these monsters fear. Is Cheney afraid of a bunch of internet conspiracy theorists, or an independent prosecutor appointed by Congress. I'd vote for the latter. Rove will quit this week, but it means little. It's a symbol of frustration, and a milestone of progress.

Remember, we must become what they fear. We must not reamain that which they can dismiss or ridicule. Let's stick to the facts, we've got a pretty good case.

Peace to all of you,
S.

Here is some more good news guys. I just read where Rove was indited. http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/051306W.shtml To our Canadian friend Colin....Keep up the good work.

I was thinking of moving my family to Vancouver but I guess there is no escaping the Bush Crime Family.

If you clown-shoes actually had any evidence, maybe someone would take notice. As it stands, the holograms, pods, faked video and bombs at the WTC are piled into one kook basket.

LOL! I don't believe a missle or fake plane hit the pentagon. I dont think there was any pods, flashes or UFO's, I dont think the planes were swapped or faked.

BUT WHAT I DO KNOW is that not only was 9/11 ALLOWED to happen(thats proven), but without al Qaeda hijackers even knowing, elements in the CIA, NSA etc helped make sure 9/11 happened with spectacular effect.

"If you clown-shoes actually

"If you clown-shoes actually had any evidence, maybe someone would take notice. As it stands, the holograms, pods, faked video and bombs at the WTC are piled into one kook basket. "

Exactly my point. 9/11 Truth is easily dismissed when characterized this way. For good reason, as those theories are not a credible way of explaining what happened that day.
Thanks for the immediate exemplification of the problem "Anonymous", like your sense of humor.

; - )

Remember "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth"? We'd better have a bulletproof case, or we're in for much worse. It seems that people are so emotionally invested in their "worst fear" scenarios, that it may be difficult to break them away from their favorite theories. We must try to reach them, without being holier-than-thou about it. They WILL try to fracture us, and break us into camps that can be dealt with one by one. Better yet (from their perspective) we'll gradually destroy one another. Don't let that happen.

Unity is our strongest weapon, followed by the facts.

Skeptics say Sibel Edmonds

Skeptics say Sibel Edmonds has nothing to do with 9/11 per se, but internal corruption. BULLSHIT! Sibel Edmonds has said many times she found direct evidence linking people in the US government to complicity in 9/11 through secret funding..Im guessing Pakistani ISI.

I lik ehow everybody's gotta learn went into how the Florida hijackers were well comped regulars at Jack Abramoff's mafia casino boats...but what about the Nick Berg connection to al Qaeda? Or James Woods connection?

Good mourning guys. Is Nico

Good mourning guys.

The concept of questioning

The concept of questioning 9/11's official version is all that needs to spread and then every individual person will have his/her own take and particular point of interest.

A brief conversation that someone I know had with a business colleague while they had to drive somewhere together - just, "What do you think about whether we got the truth on 9/11?" led to the colleague doing some google searching and the point he found most disturbing was the Shanksville crash and the lack of significant debris. He has a wife, 4 adult sons, an adult daughter, brothers and sisters.

Just putting the question out there: "Do you feel confident that we were told the truth? Do you really buy it, 19 hijackers? Is that the most reasonable, logical explanation for what happened that day?"

IMO, once the question is raised by someone they know, people are VERY receptive to questioning the official version. They already know that the elites in government and especially the media are untrustworthy, cheerleading for the idiotic Iraq War, pushing the idea of turning Social Security into a mutual fund, cramming Chandra Levy, Laci Peterson, Natalie Holloway and now Warren Jeffs down our throats all the time.

Here's what the guy over at

Here's what the guy over at Whatreallyhappened.com had to say about EGLS.

"YOU MUST WATCH THIS VIDEO.
As I am watching it, a thought occurred to me. About 2/3 the way through, they follow the money that flowed into the hijackers' bank accounts.

Now, why do men willing to commit suicide need a huge payoff that remains in the bank after they are dead?

Unless, of course, the money trail is part of the frame-up."

Thoughts???

"Now, why do men willing to

"Now, why do men willing to commit suicide need a huge payoff that remains in the bank after they are dead? "

I believe the official response would be "unforseen operational costs".

Last minute things. Extra box cutters, copies of Penthouse, tequila, lottery tickets, that sort of stuff.

Or maybe they didn't think

Or maybe they didn't think they was going to die? Maybe they was just looking to get paid, and something went wrong? I don't know, but we do need to follow the money.

"Or maybe they didn't think

"Or maybe they didn't think they was going to die? Maybe they was just looking to get paid, and something went wrong? I don't know, but we do need to follow the money."

Agreed about following the cash flow. It certainly is a non-sequitor considering their behavior leading up to the flights. Some could claim that they were living it up before the big day, but there are a lot of questions...

I had a discussion about

I had a discussion about this issue yesterday with a friend at another forum and she suggested that we merely start with where a given individual is in their belief and understanding, and then work forward from there. Most people have some lingering questions and concerns about 9/11 that they may be reluctant to voice, but if we allow people to voice them and then begin to slowly and carefully show them the evidence (not the Pentagon and WTC stuff, but the pre-9/11 history, the investigative stand-downs, the whistle-blowers, the fact that the investigations have all been blocked orcompromised, et al), then we might open more eyes. There is a lot of good and irrefutable information at several web sites (cooperative research is always good at any time in the discussion), and so someone who's curious can follow the same trails we've followed.

The media blackout had at

The media blackout had at least one precedent - the OJ Simpson case:
After initially blaming OJ for everything, causing his financial and social ruin, just about a year after it was over evidence surfaced that powerfully incriminated an LA police officer, Mark Fuhrman, as the murderer.

I've done research on Nick

I've done research on Nick Berg, using ONLY mainstream media reports(I refuse to ever watch that video)

According to the FBI, Nick Berg was interviewed right after 9/11. Him and his dad said Berg met with al Qaeda operatives in Oklahoma on a bus. He gave over passwords/emails. The tickets for the 9/11 flights were purchased at the Oklahoma University library at the time Berg was there. Berg's passwords were found on al Qaeda laptops. Now somehow, this guy is somehow killed by this same group half a world away, as he's wearing his US issued prison jumpsuit, hours after he was "released" from US custody in Iraq? Berg's father is insistent the US government had something to do with his death, and that there is more to the story than we know. It's significant, because there are way too many ties between Berg to al Qaeda and the US government. We know hijackers were flight training in the same city as Berg in Oklahoma.

The media blackout is

The media blackout is because obviously the people who perpetrated this control the media. That is why we have to assume there is far more behind this than just 9/11. For example, it appears that the 7/7 bombings in London were engineered in the same fashion.

Talk about the media--CNN,

Talk about the media--CNN, the world's "premier" news channel, has basically made the Duke University incident into the major new diversion to cover-up the crimes being comitted by our gov't!!!
