A new hit piece...

http://newsbusters.org/node/5681

2/13/2001 - 3 weeks after Bush Co, takes office, NY Times reporter Alan Feuer instantly goes from Regional NY Sports writer to Terrorism writer?
http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/f/alan_feuer/...

New York Times is owned by the people who profited from attacks, so expecting it to report the 9/11 truth movement objectively is naive.

Nevertheless, any hit piece is publicity.

if it was a hit piece, it hit quite softly - maybe that was what the writer had to do to get it past the paper board.

Great point John. "Conspiracy theorist" has many negative connotations that do NOT apply to men like David Ray Griffin & Steven Jones.

Congratulations to us all!

Plus, the keepers of this blog should change the logo. This is no longer "alternative news" :)

hey andrew - thats where I got the info from myself!

I post as 'is'.

I don't pay much attention to occult stuff - maybe I should. That devil-in-the-smoke effect was scary though, but it bore an uncanny resemblance to studio design work.

My only concern about 06/06/06 is that some nut-job could use it as an excuse to do something stupid.

Joshua Holland @ AlterNet is a typical fraud. He just added an "extra" article that includes this b.s., & more:

"Yet, despite the well-crafted videos and "independent research" -- I think that the World Trade Center was brought down by airplanes -- including building 7 -- that flight 77 did, in fact, hit the Pentagon and that flight 93 was not shot down by a jetfighter (although, when it comes to "Let's roll!" and all that, who knows what actually happened on that flight deck?)."

HTF was WTC-7 brought down by airplanes???

Lot more to UA93 than shot down or not shot down!!!

that's why i am such a pain in the ass when it comes to physical evidence.

now - if you can get this guy to explain why a two-star general ordered Lt. Col Anthony Shaffer to ignore Atta - and put yellow stickers over his face.....

Personally (and i usually do not give opinions) - Atta was a paid patsy - an invented persona - more associated with oraganized crime (drug smuggling, etc etc) than Al Qaeda. His ties to Huffman, and Sun Cruz and Vegas SMACKS of organized crime, drug running and money laundering.

John, let's use both physical & behavioral evidence. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

Of course Atta & his buddies were patsies, probably drug-trafficers in training. They were coke-head, lap-dance, party-boys; NOT "Muslim jihadists."

The writing must really be on the wall for the Perps if the Bible bashers are getting wise to, and mad about, 911 truth .

That should have read :

The writing must really be on the wall for the Perps if the Bible bashers are getting wise to, and crazy about, 911 truth .

Geez, even religous fanatics are beginning to see that Bush is Lucifer!

I agree that BOTH physical and non-physical evidence are important.

I just stick to what i know.

My only concern about 06/06/06 is that some nut-job could use it as an excuse to do something stupid.

You talking about an independent nut job, or one of the nut jobs that run the USA/UK?

Fair enough.

IMO, any honest, sincere person who merely devotes 2 hours of his/her life to watch LC2E followed by EGLS, would have to conclude that most or all of 9/11 was an inside job. There is just no way we should not demand answers to all of the outrageous questions & evidence exposed in those 2 videos!

just because our evangelical leaders do not believe in dinosaurs - but make all their money from fossil fuels - does not make them crazy. It makes them rich.

I don't think I have ever seen Alex Jones use 'foul language', in fact he avoids it.

Alex Jones does in fact avoid the use of cuss words. Alex just said on his show in reading over this New York Times article that what he did was quote Lyndon Baines Johnson saying to his admirals concerning the U.S.S. Liberty, "I want that goddamned ship going to the bottom!"

I've only ever heard Alex Jones use a cuss word once our twice, and I've been listening to him since well before the 9/11 attacks.

For the record, I am not a 'conspiracy buff' - nor would I consider many of those at the conference 'conspiracy buffs'. In fact I am a concerned citizen that believes my own government was involved in 9/11 - an opinion that came after many months of reading and researching, an opinion I believe any open minded researcher would reach as well.

People who attempt to support the government's line often use words and phrases such as "conspiracy buff" or "conspiracy theory," etc., as an ad hominem attack.

So far as conspiracies go, they are ubiquitous. Everyone is in agreement that the 9/11 attacks were the result of a conspiracy. But those who are genuinely knowledgeable and care about the truth reject fallacious conspiracy theories, such as the U.S. government's lying, self-serving, a-historical, a-factual, and provably false official fairy tale conspiracy theory concerning the 9/11 attacks.

More than four times the amount of non-combatants have been systematically murdered for purely ideological reasons by their own governments within the past century than were killed in that same time-span from wars. From 1900 to 1923, various Turkish regimes killed from 3,500,000 to over 4,300,000 of its own Armenians, Greeks, Nestorians, and other Christians. Communist governments have murdered over 110 million of their own subjects since 1917. And Germany murdered some 16 million of it own subjects in the past century. (The preceding figures are from Prof. Rudolph Joseph Rummel's website at http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/ .)

All totaled, neither the private-sector crime which government is largely responsible for promoting and causing or even the wars committed by governments upon the subjects of other governments come anywhere close to the crimes government is directly responsible for committing against its own citizens--certainly not in amount of numbers. Without a doubt, the most dangerous presence to ever exist throughout history has always been the people's very own government.

Needless to say, all of these government mass-slaughters were conspiracies--massive conspiracies, at that.

Maureen Dowd: "The controlled-demolition theory is the sine qua non of the 9/11 movement — its basic claim and, in some sense, the one upon which all others rest."

"Its basic claim"? Really?

Well, there you have it: this is how it's going to be spun. From Popular Mechanics to the New York Times, they're all telling us that the indispensable claim - the very essence of 9/11 Truth - is this:

The insistence that the towers were blown up.

In light of the Pentagon's careful stoking of the "no-plane" myth, Dowd's Maureen Dowd: "The controlled-demolition theory is the sine qua non of the 9/11 movement — its basic claim and, in some sense, the one upon which all others rest."

In light of the Pentagon's careful stoking of the "no-plane" myth, Dowd's "sine qua non" twaddle is just further evidence that Ruppert was absolutely right: this "physical evidence" stuff is a fly-trap - and too many sceptics have flown slap-bang into it already.

Gwynne Dyer, a relatively mainstream Canadian war commentator who subscribes to the official 9/11 story, nonetheless notes the following in an article for the Cyprus Mail:

...

"There is no shadowy but powerful network waging a terrorist war against the West: the whole thing is a fantasy. There are isolated small groups of extremists who blow things up once in a while, and there are web-sites and other media through which they can exchange ideas and techniques, but there is no headquarters, no chain of command, no organisation that can be defeated, dismantled and destroyed.

There never was much of an Islamist "terrorist network" anyway – certainly nothing to compare with the extensive co-operation between the extreme left-wing "urban guerrilla" groups of the developed world (Germany's Baader-Meinhof Gang, Italy's Red Brigades, the Japanese Red Army, etc.) and the various Palestinian groups of secular nationalist radicals in the 1970-1985 period. Even in al Qaeda's heyday, before the US invasion of Afghanistan effectively beheaded it in 2001, there were only a few hundred core members.

According to US intelligence estimates, between 30,000 and 70,000 volunteers passed through al Qaeda's training camps in Afghanistan in 1996-2001, but their long-term impact on the world has been astonishingly small. The average annual number of Islamist terrorist attacks in Arab and other Muslim countries has been no greater in the past five years than in the previous ten or twenty. For most of the people who went to Afghanistan in those years, it was a rite of passage or an exotic form of ideological tourism, not the start of a lifelong career as a terrorist.

The West has been even less affected. The 9/11 attacks on the United States were a spectacularly successful fluke, killing almost 3,000 people, but there have been no further Islamist attacks in the US. The two subsequent attacks that did occur in the West, in Madrid in 2004 and in London last year, cost the lives of 245 people. And those attacks were both carried out by local people with no links to any "international terrorist network".

The contrast between the received wisdom – that the world, or at least the West, is engaged in a titanic, unending struggle against a powerful terrorist organisation of global reach – and the not very impressive reality is so great that most people in the West believe the official narrative rather than the evidence of their own eyes. There must be a major terrorist threat; otherwise, the government is wrong or lying, the intelligence agencies are wrong or self-serving, the media are fools or cowards, and the invasion of Iraq had nothing to do with fighting terrorism." ...
