A talk given by Mark Crispin Miller, Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at NYU, at the Left Forum at John Jay College in New York City, May 31, 2015.

In this talk, Miller speaks about the collaboration of supposedly 'left' media and activists in the placing of tremendous obstacles around the discussion of topics such as election theft and 9/11, and their great reluctance even to investigate such topics for themselves. 'They don't want to go there,' says Miller. It's as though these issues are, 'in a bad part of town, and they would never go there.'

Miller further argues that the widespread employment of the term 'conspiracy theory' to thwart the questioning of just about any official story is 'probably the most effective propaganda drive in American history, maybe even world history.'

Douglas Valentine’sThe Phoenix Program is vital for understanding the history of terrorism and its role in political warfare. Few other historical accounts provide as much detail on how the U.S. government and the CIA began to use programs for counterterrorism to implement political policy through secretive, coldblooded actions. Understanding such history is critical to making sense of what is happening in our world today.

HuffPost’s absurd stand on “conspiracy theories” (David Ray Griffin) - Mark Crispin Miller's blog

From David Ray Griffin:

Mark,

It’s good to have the Huffington Post’s policy on “conspiracy theories” in black and white.

So now someone needs to inform them that they cannot accept any posts that state, or imply, that al-Qaeda was responsible for the 9/11 attacks, for that is a conspiracy theory.

That has been acknowledged by Cass Sunstein, the Chicago-and-then-Harvard professor of law who was tapped by President Obama to direct OIRA, the executive branch’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (which is under the Office of Management and Budget).

In a 2009 article entitled “Conspiracy Theories,” he and his Harvard co-author wrote:

“The theory that Al-Qaeda was responsible for 9/11 is . . . a . . . conspiracy theory.”

Forewarned is forearmed. Election Fraud Truth has one thing in common with 9/11 Truth. The Truth. Please visit Mark Crispin Miller's blog for more on election fraud, and news that you just don't see anywhere else.

"This is a regime whose leaders are capable of anything. They're capable of stealing elections. They're capable of lying us into a war. They're capable of letting a whole major U.S. city drown... and then do nothing about it, to this very day. They're capable of outing a crucial CIA officer who was tracking Weapons of Mass Destruction that were headed for the United States.

What is it that they would not do?

Now, I don't say this because I want people to freak out or stay home and lock the door. On the contrary, I say this because it's crucial for us all to keep our heads, and have our eyes wide open. If these things take us by surprise, we are that much more vulnerable to being manipulated, pushed around... maybe with fatal consequences.

If however, we can be well aware of the nature of the people in charge, and not be surprised by the steps they take, we'll be strengthened by that kind of preparation, and, we'll be able to resist.

And at this point, resistance is something that we should all be thinking about very seriously."

Mark Crispin Miller runs one of the best blogs out there that covers Election Fraud in the US, in depth:
http://markcrispinmiller.blogspot.com/

Today he sent this message out, that relates to the case of Don Siegelman, a political victim of one Karl Rove...

Yesterday I emailed Don Siegelman, as I had a few matters to discuss with him. Here's the crucial part:

Mark Crispin Miller: The other, more important thing is this: As you may or may not know, the one aspect of your long ordeal that the press has stubbornly refused to mention--or, I think, even to perceive--is the theft of that election in 2002. Like you, I believe that that was crucial; but the press, quite typically, won't mention it. Frankly, I believe that they, and most leading Democrats, are in denial about it, as its implications are too frightening. Just as they've looked away from all the evidence of vast election fraud throughout Bush/Cheney's reign, therefore, they've also looked away from the subversion of that gubernatorial race in Alabama. And so that chapter of your story is unknown to most Americans, even those who've lately heard the rest of it.

Don Siegelman: Mark, I mention the vote stealing in every interview. 60 Minutes cut it out. Don Abrams didn't want to go there either. I have told the story to the Washington Post and LA Times.

The hook is Rove's fingerprints are found there too. First, in that Rove's friend Jack Abramoff hires Dan Gans, who was in charge of "electronic ballot security" in Baldwin County, Alabama, where the votes were stolen. Gans, working for the Alexander Strategies Group, claims credit for the win on his website, which he then takes down when Abramoff gets arrested. The second is Rove's business partner, Kitty McCullough (a/k/a Kelly Kimbrough) is given credit for the electronic vote switch by the state Republican Party.

I asked Don if I could send that out, and he said yes ("Have at it"). So now I offer it to you. If you're an election reform activist, please start your (search) engines. If you're a journalist, please do your job. And if you're just another patriotic citizen, please do whatever you can do to get the press, and/or the Democratic Party, to pay heed.

For starters, how about asking "60 Minutes" why they "cut it out," and asking Dan Abrams why he "didn't want to go there either"? And since Don also told the Washington Post and LA Times about the theft of that election, how about we ask them, too?

This stuff will just keep on happening, until we make it dangerous to do such things.

911blogger users: I believe that Election Fraud is a legitimate aspect of our current dilemma. Even if we all rallied around Ron Paul, we have problems that exceed merely getting the citizenry to turn out to vote. I would really like to hear some comments here, perhaps we could ask Mr. Miller to do a guest blog once in a while. What do you think?

We cordially invite you to attend the FIRST NATIONAL TEACH-IN ON FREEDOMS AT RISK IN AMERICA, hosted by the College of Arts and Science (CAS) Student Council of New York University on Saturday, February 23, 2008.

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.
