First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, and then you win. - Mahatma Gandhi

They found out that ignoring the 9/11 Truth movement didn’t work.

Then they realized that ridiculing us just helped us grow.

Now the real fight begins.

When media royalty like CNN’s Paula Zahn and Larry King are moved to the front lines we need to realize that 9/11 Truth is now considered to be a serious threat to the status quo. This is a perverse form of respect.

Here's the transcript of the Zahn hit piece.

Let’s analyze the goals behind this most recent tactical move:

1) Obviously they are trying to smear the 9/11 Truth movement as racist, specifically as anti-Semitic, holocaust deniers. This pure poison is a double-edged sword.

2) The primary targets of this hit piece are other members in the media and media dependent “stars”. The message is: If you go near 9/11 Truth you will be branded as an anti-Semitic holocaust denier, this is an instant kiss of death (see Mel Gibson).

3) The secondary targets are the members of the general public who remain resistant to 9/11 Truth or are those still sitting on the fence. The message to them is: Do you really want to be associated with these racist, holocaust denying, anti-American kooks?

4) Finally, the last target is the 9/11 Truth movement itself. This is the classic divide and conquer strategy aimed directly at hard core Truthers. They are well aware of the internal debate going on within the movement regarding the importance of the role of the Mossad/Israel and the prominence given to Larry Silverstein’s “pull it” quote. They are clearly trying to add fuel to this fire and turn it into a real wedge issue within the movement. I think that recent threads on this board highlight this quite well.

Now, what do we do?

1) Everyone here needs to calm down and return their focus to our common goals of growing the movement, assisting the dust victims and getting new investigations into 9/11. Those of us who feel compelled to aggressively push the Mossad/Israeli aspects of 9/11 need to carefully consider the cost/benefit of doing so in a reckless way in public at this time.

My personal view on this and other issues (like what hit the Pentagon) is that as long as we are all pushing for full, complete and independent investigations and willing “to let the chips fall where they will”, then the truth about everything, including the Mossad/Israeli role, will come to light and justice will be done. By definition, those that push divisive issues are choosing to be divisive.

2) How do we counter the primary targets cited above? The first line of defense is to be very conscious about making any statements to the media that can be twisted to support the anti-Semitic accusation. Yes, this is self-censorship, but it is enlightened self-censorship and we are playing to win. Anyone invited into the media spotlight needs to be very disciplined about staying on message and those who allow themselves to be used to discredit the 9/11 Truth movement should find themselves out on the cold and lonely fringes immediately.

The best way to counter-attack would be to have a group called Jews for 9/11 Truth (don’t laugh) rain emails, letters and phone calls down on Zahn, King and CNN and other msm outlets. To my knowledge, no such group exists at this time. The next best thing we can do is contact Dr. Kevin Barrett and have him ask the prominent Jewish members of MUJCA (perhaps Sandra Lubarsky and/or Rabbi Michael Lerner) to do whatever they are willing to do to counter this unfounded and poisonous attack. I would love to see Rabbi Lerner go one-on-one with Larry King on this (I can dream, can’t I?).

3) In dealing with the general public, as with other controversial topics, we need to leave the Mossad/Israeli issue off to the side. This is not a core issue. If it is raised by a member of the general public, then respond in a careful and measured manner. If someone asks you “Did the Jews do it?” all you need to say is “We don’t know who did it, that’s why we need new investigations”. If they ask you “Who do you think did it?” and you want to be less evasive, you can confidently reply that “It was most likely a combined operation involving small groups of elites from several countries, individuals from the U.S., U.K., Israel, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are clearly implicated.” If you are pushed on the Israeli issue you can cite the mainstream stories about the dancing Israeli’s who were arrested, jailed and then released in New Jersey. If they want to know more refer them to Paul Thompson’s The Terror Timeline, page 308.

4) Returning to what we can do here on 9/11 blogger: For the sake of unity and the continued progress of our mutual cause I would implore all of us to moderate our rhetoric, be as civil as possible and focus on our common goals of growing the movement, assisting the dust victims and getting new investigations into 9/11. This does not mean we can’t have vigorous debates on the many fascinating aspects of 9/11. My personal approach to interacting with people online is to imagine that I’m sitting in a Thai restaurant having a friendly conversation with them. If someone is rude, disingenuous or pedantic then I politely tell them why I disagree with them and I leave.

The core of 9/11 Truth is the knowledge that the government myth is an absurd and criminal farce and that we need to have new investigations. As we grow as a movement we need to be increasingly aware of our public persona and craft our message accordingly. We also need to be aware of the fact that we have been, and will continue to be, infiltrated by people who have hidden agendas and ulterior motives. Keeping this in mind, we absolutely cannot be consumed by paranoia and engage in self-destructive witch hunts.

Those people that do not have the best interests of 9/11 Truth in mind will out themselves in due course. Some already have.

We are winning, brothers and sisters, it’s time to take it to the next level.

The truth shall set us free. Love is the only way forward.

Be well.
