Spread the word!

super sweet! not much time

super sweet!

not much time to prepare though, need to get the word out!

it's good that it'll be on

it's good that it'll be on TV, but people can watch this anytime they want on google video.

http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=3195658770053494633

So in terms of getting the word out, there's not much point in spreading it around the internet, since you can just spread the link around, but it would be great to tell places like radio stations, newspapers, and TV stations where links arn't possible. But that's sweet that it'll be on TV, it'll hopefully create a few new truthers out there.

3:30 time slot CANCELLED!

Hopefully they will still be on at 10:00.

we should all flood C-Span

we should all flood C-Span now and try to get them to put this on C-Span 1. i have yet to come across anyone who has this channel.

what? it's an actual channel

what? it's an actual channel called CSPAN BookTV? I thought it was just a weekly show on CSPAN.. hrm.

can't access CSPAN's schedule at the moment, hopefully it will come up soon:
http://inside.c-spanarchives.org:8080/cspan/schedule.csp

no, its on C-SPan 2, but who

no, its on C-SPan 2, but who has that? im pretty sure you have to pay extra for it, and i cant imagine it gets many viewers. C-Span 1 at least gets political junkies and catches the eye of the mainstream sometimes.

Book TV is CSpan 2

As far as I know Book TV is listed as CSpan 2 by most cable TV companies..

Book TV -- Incompetent, or MIHOP?

I get BookTV as CSPAN-2 on Direct TV. I just watch the show -- it was excellent.

But BookTV got the book wrong! At the end of the show, they show DRG's book Omissions and Distortions, and say the speakers contributed to that book. They did not -- DRG wrote that book himself. The speakers contributed to the book 9/11 and American Empuire: Intellectuals Speak Out.

They also misspelled Ray McGovern's group, repeatedly showing the caption when he spoke, "Veteran Intellegence Professionals for Sanity."

Are they just incompetent, or did they get the book wrong on purpose?

Please help try to get this

Please help try to get this on the Randi Rhodes Show today.. she is a big McGovern and CSPAN fan, so I'm sure she would let someone plug this..

her show is on from 3PM to 6PM EST, and the number is 1.866.303.2270

Yep

Good Idea DZ

Holy heck!! God bless

Holy heck!! God bless C-Span...

Time update and great 'description' link at Book TV

http://www.booktv.org/General/index.asp?segID=7473&schedID=462

On Friday, November 24 at 4:00 pm and Saturday, November 25 at 3:30 am and at 10:00 pm
9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out
David Ray Griffin, Peter Dale Scott, Peter Phillips, Kevin Ryan, Ray McGovern

Description: Editors and contributors to the book, "9/11 and American Empire," assess the Bush administration's responsibility for the attacks on 9/11, arguing that key administration officials either purposefully ignored the threats leading up to the attacks or were complicit in the planning them. The panelists say that the administration has used the attacks to enact long established plans to expand American empire. The participants are: David Ray Griffin (co-editor/contributor), Peter Dale Scott (co-editor/contributor), Peter Phillips (contributor) and Kevin Ryan (contributor). Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern moderates the discussion. The event was hosted by Berkeley, California-based Pacifica radio station KPFA (www.kpfa.org).

Author Bio:
David Ray Griffin, professor emeritus of philosophy and theology at the Claremont School of Theology, is the author of "The New Pearl Harbor" and "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions." Peter Dale Scott, former Canadian diplomat and former professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley, is the author of "Deep Politics and the Death of JFK" and "Drugs, Oil, and War." Peter Phillips, professor of sociology at Sonoma State University and director of the Project Censored media research program, is most recently the co-editor of "Censored 2007: The Top 25 Censored Stories" and "Impeach the President: The Case Against Bush and Cheney." Kevin Ryan is a former site manager with Environmental Health Laboratories. Ray McGovern, a 27-year veteran of the CIA, is co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS) and a contributor to the book "Neo-CONNED!
Again."

What about this?

See if Reynolds and Wood can get their f-ing Star Wars laser beam BS peer-reviewed. Fetzer is a pice of trash for dogging out Jones on this, yet swinging with Reynolds and Wood.

Credibility

To lots of people, the internet is a "dangerous" place. It means that lots of folks will accept this information if they see it on Book TV. Context is everything and little of it can be found these days.

Fetzer v. Jones, wtf?

This is really tearing me apart. Fertzer has done some very good and some questionable research on JFK.
Fetzer's last "conventional" lecture on 9/11 with Kevin Barrett few weeks ago was simply briliant.

Now, this infighting, Jones is right the Scholar's website has been and is a mess, Fetzer is not capable of being in charge of editorial duties on this website. On the other hand Fetzer, is right that scientific method should be applied to all options and hypothesis, and I'm not a beamer myself..

One, has to wonder why heavy weight whistleblowers like Elsberg and McGovern are not joining the 9/11 movement under the Scholars umbrella. They are for a reason afraid to be associated with fringe people and issues..

Kind of smell like a controlled opposition yet again, is it Fetzer or Jones or both I don't know..

Very said moments for the 9/11 truthers these couple of last days..

Not at all...

No one individual is bigger than the movement. Nope. Sorry. NO ONE.

The "movement' is still going as strong, if not stronger than ever. I myself have made a decision to flyer Independence Hall on every Saturday that I'm available. The Boston Tea Party, I suspect, will be a huge success. Movies like 9/11: Press For Truth, 9/11 Mysteries, Improbable Collapse, etc... are spreading like wildfire. The polls are in our favor. I see a lot more people now coming forward to ask questions. Things are going good for the 9/11 Truth Movement.

It's only a matter of time.

I hope it's an incredibly short amount of it.

I'm with you Jon!

I'm also real curious how Loose Change Final Cut will do. With well over 100,000,000 views online alone it is truly a phenomenon with a hell of a lot of fans. There's talk of screening it at some of the BIG film festivals in the spring. We'll see. Earlier today the Dallas --Questions Meetup group gave away 250 TerrorStorm/911Mysteries DVDs at Dealey Plaza for the 43rd anniversary of JFK's assassanation. People were very receptive to the TRUTH. Many were aware already.

We're kicking ass and we're gonna crank it up a few notches.

Word on the street is that 9/11 was an inside job.

 

Heavy weight whistleblowers

"One, has to wonder why heavy weight whistleblowers like Elsberg and McGovern are not joining the 9/11 movement under the Scholars umbrella. They are for a reason afraid to be associated with fringe people and issues.."

Blowing the whistle on 9/11? I don't think so. It has nothing to do with "fringe people or issues." It is because Ellsberg and McGovern are following or pushing the incompetence line. What difference does it make if Ray McGovern joins Scholars for Truth -- he knows what he knows, and is willing to say what he is willing to say.

Two parts patsie, two parts perp!

911 Truth organizations are more enamored with creating teams to fight each other than brining an action against the perpetrators of the crimes they claim to have found. More interested in proving a case that will never be started than start that case...
... The government has served notice that it is spending billions to infiltrate the various blogs, create their own indoctrinated web sites, blogs, and forums. They have seen the enemy on the Internet and they are using their efforts at controlling it. For anyone to think that they are not here in force is naïve at best. In that light I am sure you will agree that they would use all their best resources and inflict their best prattle...
...Putting the horse before the carriage.

911 truth, what the hell is that? It certainly cannot be the answer to whom, what, and why. Proving a case before it starts has never been done before much less for a mass murder of 3000 people. Somehow the movement has been led by the nose to think that investigation is what is needed. Well, sort of true, but not. If you believe in government what is needed is an indictment for some of the crimes so that an investigation with subpoena power for evidence may be had..."

Jones should be supported.

Jones should be supported. His focus on the molten steel and iron is the simplest and clearest indication that the official explanations are physically impossible: in violation of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. The hypothesis that a thermite alike high-temperature reaction mixture was used is simple and explains all observations (photos, video, aerosol analysis, steel sample analysis, space-based thermo graph, and eye witness testimony). It also makes sense from an operational point of view: doing everything with explosives would have been extremely noisy. Doing everything with thermite would not have allowed precise enough control over the timing of the collapse. That dictates the use of a thermite compound with a relatively small amount of explosives.

With such a concise and well corroborated explanation, postulating the use of a WMD (sorry, nothing with a low yield) or some improbable hypothetical energy weapon as an alternate hypothesis is pure sabotage designed to destroy credibility.

Note that the aerosol also contained vanadium compounds. That is yet another observation that confirms the presence of molten steel.

Transparency, thy name is Anonymous.

You realize, of course....

I don\'t think there are too many here who don\'t realize that the 9/11 Truth [sic] Movement never had a chance to begin with. It was an irrational, self-destructive movement to begin with, never able to make a case that \"9/11 was an inside job.\"

Even after FIVE (5) whole years.

To keep deluding yourselves that you have even presented anything to make a case, much less refute all of the overwhelming evidence against you, is downright silly.

Admit what you KNOW is true, LEH. You cannot make ANY case that \"9/11 was an inside job.\"

Hey Ernie

You know, your colleague Bert recently admitted that trolls do not think critically. Is that just a job requirement or are you specially bred for that trait?

What I KNOW,

What I KNOW, BackslashAnonyShill, is that if, after FIVE long years, there was any possibility of reasonable federal explanation for all of the inconsistencies, distortions, and criminal evidence being alleged, it would have been presented by now. Everything might have been confronted directly with truth and openness so that none of this would be necessary.

The desperate need to rely instead on trolls such as yourself to infiltrate research and discussion only hits the ball further out of the park.

As a former congressional debate, policy debate, and extemporaneous speaking champion, I am trained to take either side of very complicated issues at a moment's notice, using logic and reasoning and information. I don't presume to know everything that happened on 9/11, nor do I feel the need to present an all encompassing "theory" to anyone.

My individual starting point was that if 9/11 was immediately touted as "the day that changed everything," and the ensuing days, weeks, and months demonstrated a massive cover-up with no pink-slips, there was serious malfeasance in them thar hills. From that point, literacy and vision and gray-matter-in-motion was all it took to convince me that well-placed moles in private enterprise and govt. service were implicated. The rest is what subpeonas, testimony, and justice are for.

Any one of the good folk here could eat you alive on the issues, which is why you skirt them as much as possible. (Ad hominem attacks, tangential rants, and sarcasm are the refuge of a loser in debate.)

But it's so much easier to collect a paycheck for playing grammar school psych-out on the computer, isn't it?

Dear Anonymous

I don't think anybody has the complete work done for anything that deals with 911.
The object is to find the truth. In order to do that we must all work together and treat each other with respect during the research.
At least he has the guts to present what his findings are and admits that his work is continuing. He even put his name on the Internet unlike some others who want to remain anonymous.

Unfortunately for the movement someone, who is also named Anonymous, had illegally removed all the evidence which prevented the insurance companies from doing their investigation.

I have briefly looked at Mr. Fetzer's new website and am a little familiar with what he is talking about. It's okay for him to go in that direction as long as he doesn't try to stop other researchers from going in their own directions. I am looking forward to going back when his site is completed.
Maybe one of them will end up with a reason why there was so much molten metal under each of the collapsed buildings. I'm thinking maybe a mini-nuke of some type.

If the electricity went then I would consider what someone said how the C-130 could fly without electricity and which may have tested a new Electromagnetic weapon, which may have caused the electrical problems near Shanksville.

impressive for a MSM article-

CIA role claim in Kennedy killing
New video and photographic evidence that puts three senior CIA operatives at the scene of Robert Kennedy's assassination has been brought to light.
The evidence was shown in a report by Shane O'Sullivan, broadcast on BBC Newsnight.

It reveals that the operatives and four unidentified associates were at the Ambassador Hotel, Los Angeles in the moments before and after the shooting on 5 June, 1968.

The CIA had no domestic jurisdiction and some of the officers were based in South-East Asia at the time, with no reason to be in Los Angeles.

The report is the result of a three-year investigation by filmmaker Shane O'Sullivan. He reveals new video and photographs showing three senior CIA operatives at the hotel.
David Morales was Chief of Operations and once told friends:

"I was in Dallas when we got the son of a bitch and I was in Los Angeles when we got the little bastard."

Gordon Campbell was Chief of Maritime Operations and George Joannides was Chief of Psychological Warfare Operations.

Joannides was called out of retirement in 1978 to act as the CIA liaison to the Congressional investigation into the JFK assassination. Now, we see him at the Ambassador Hotel the night a second Kennedy is assassinated.

CSPAN BookTV

I get CSPAN & CSPAN Book TV and I get the most basic of cable optioins (cheap--only $14 mo.) I always miss out on the CNN or Fox stuff and have to watch it on my computer after you guys post it. But this time I can tune in! Too bad it is on this weekend of all weekends. I can't imagine too many poeple being in the mood to watch Book Tv when it is major family/shopping time right now. Oh well. Maybe they will replay it again in the future.

I told...

Ray's not a great conversationalist.

just finished watching

and it's an excellent set of presentations by the guests. I always love to hear David Ray Griffin speak. I hadn't heard Peter Phillips before though, even though I am familiar with Project Censored. He was quite good. All were really.

It was great to see Ray McGovern taking on 9/11 truth in a more open and out front manner, at least more than I had realized from his other appearances in the past where he always seemed to be choosing his words carefully, not going too far before. Bravo!

I have to add this though. Ray McGovern made a prediction that Bush would attack Iran before the election since Bush's poll numbers are low and there would be a real danger of Democrats taking majorities and holding BushCo accountable for all the lies, etc.

McGovern said that even though Nancy Pelosi has said impeachment is off the table, there's always John Conyers. He seemed so certain that Conyers and the Democrats would really hold hearings, subpeona people, get to the bottom of the lies, impeach, etc. -- but, his predictions were all off the mark. No Iran bombing so far, and it looks VERY likely that Conyers has been threatened, given up, or rendered powerless by the Democrats because he has now also said impeachment is off the table.

So as much as I respect McGovern, I have to say he seems awfully naive to think the Democrats would really come to the rescue. There's been ample proof that the Democrats are simply enablers of U.S. global hegemony. He, of all people, should know this.

9/11 and American Empire #318 on Amazon

Earlier today it was at #250, just ahead of Green Eggs and Ham. That is a GOOD rank! See what even a tiny bit of exposure can do? Do we need any more proof of the fact that it is CENSORSHIP in the mainstream media that is keeping a lid (as much as possible but not enough) on 9/11 truth? The MSM are going to lose all credibility once word of mouth does it's thing, along with the bloggers and street truthers--god bless us, every one!!.
