NYU professor Mark Crispin Miller recently sent an email to his blog readers containing a brief description of David Ray Griffin's Debunking 9/11 Debunking, including blurbs of praise from Howard Zinn and others. His blog, News from the Underground, features this material today.

Miller has not publicly declared his support for 9/11 Truth; however, such visible promotion of Griffin's book would appear to be an indirect endorsement of at least Griffin's work.

Miller has written books critical of the Bush regime, including Cruel and Unusual. His recent work focuses on election fraud, which he wrote about in Fooled Again. I highly recommend his work.

MCM is alright!

He is a dedicated vote-reform activist, and was invited to review an early draft of "9/11 and American Empire Vol.1" -- I believe his review blurb is on the jacket of the book.

Good on ya, Mark!

it's not on the paperback

but perhaps it is on the hardcover.

Regardless, his support for 9/11 Truth is more prominent than my comment above suggested. Thanks.

Here it is...

http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20060827145953240

"For far too long, the very reasonable questions raised by 9/11 have been ignored and even ridiculed by America's press and politicians, who treat the subject with the sort of willful blindness that suggests a wish not to find out unpleasant truths. We, the people, therefore owe the editors of this important new collection our warm thanks for their intelligent and unrelenting work."

---Mark Crispin Miller, Professor of Culture and Communications, New York University, and author of Cruel and Unusual: Bush/Cheney's New World Order and Fooled Again: How the Right Stole the 2004 Election and Why They'll Steal the Next One Too (Unless We Stop Them)

Well, they SHOULD have put it on the cover!

I wonder what "bje" stands for...

...I think the "e" might be for "enthusiast."

Not that there's anything wrong with that ;)

Oh c'mon casseia...

That's just not fair. "e" could just as easily stand for "extraordinaire." Not that there's anything wrong with that either! Hey, I can say that, cuz I should know.... ;-)

Late May

At least, that's what Barnes & Noble say. Amazon tells me I should have it in the first week of June. Pre-order now!

Over two months more...

Fantastic news!

Wonderful to see Mark Crispin Miller on board, even if indirectly. I've been a fan of his for years.

Now I hope he'll speak out directly. We need more people of his calibre on our side -- progressives who've been silent up until now. I'm not criticizing him by that statement -- I've never considered him a left gatekeeper, not one bit -- that label only gets applied to peoplel who openly diss the 9/11 truth movement. You know who you are.... and, we're on to you (Chomsky, Cockburn, Monbiot, David Corn, et al).

drop Miller a line

Thank him for promoting Griffin's work. You don't have to presume Miller supports all forms of 9/11 Truth; just thank him for mentioning Griffin's book. After all, these are just people, and they need all the encouragement we can muster so they continue to speak out.

According to Reprehensor's earlier post

"* Webster Tarpley has moved his radio show to GCN live, as part of the "Genesis World Report". The GWR is broadcast 7-8pm Central, on Network 4, and has revolving hosts. Mondays - Daniel Abrahmson, Tuesdays and Wednesdays - Gary Franchi, Thursdays - Webster Tarpley, and Fridays - John Conner."

Rosie O'Donnell Goes Public

Rosie O'Donnell Goes Public On 9/11
Follows in footsteps of other brave figures in public eye
After going public this week with her skepticism over the official story of 9/11, Rosie O'Donnell has continued to address the issue in a Q&A with her readers on her website.

We reported yesterday that O'Donnell, who has for weeks now been tentatively trying to raise the issue of 9/11 truth on her ABC show The View, wrote a blog entry encouraging her readers to research 9/11, in particular the building 7 demolition.

also, political rapper and

also, political rapper and 9/11 truth activist Immortal Technique was detained just 100 yards from the protest and was kept from speaking. thats according to one of the speakers at the event. seeing as it was at the Pentagon i have to imagine that Immortal Technique would have made some comments about 9/11. i cant say that im surprised that he was detained.

Daily KOS

Does anyone here belong to Daily Kos? If you do, perhaps you could post Mark Crispin Miller's blog entry about DRG at Daily Kos? Miller's work is generally celebrated by Kos people, so perhaps we could force feed them Debunking 9/11 Debunking via Miller?

According to the Terror

According to the Terror Timeline, Mark Crispin Miller did an expose of the fraudulent "cheering Palestinians" video footage that was run over and over on the day of the attacks-- especially on FOX and CNN:

September 11, 2001: Television News Footage of Gleeful Palestinians Shown out of Context

Men in the Palestiani Shatila refugee camp, Lebanon, celebrating the 9/11 attacks. [Source: Associated Press / Mohamed Zatari]Television news coverage on 9/11 repeatedly shows images of Palestinians rejoicing over the 9/11 attack. According to Mark Crispin Miller, a professor of media studies at New York University who investigated the issue, the footage was filmed during the funeral of nine people killed the day before by Israeli authorities. He said, “To show it without explaining the background, and to show it over and over again is to make propaganda for the war machine and is irresponsible.” [Agence France-Presse, 9/18/2001; Australian, 9/27/2001]

This footage had an enormous emotional impact on Americans that day. I know, because I myself fell for it hook, line and sinker. If this video is a fraud, which I think it is, it amounts to one of the most insidious libels in history.

I've tried to find Miller's work on this subject so I could study it in more detail, but have been unsuccessful.
