Justice Attack-Terrorism Governments USA

Last Saturday, former Bush administration official Morgan Reynolds drew an enthusiastic capacity crowd to the Wisconsin Historical Society auditorium. It is probably the first time in Historical Society history that a political talk has drawn a full house on a Saturday afternoon at the beginning of final exams.

Reynolds, the former director of the Criminal Justice Center at the National Center for Policy Analysis, and the ex-top economist for George W. Bush’s Labor Department, charged the Bush administration with gross malfeasance, and proposed the prosecution of top administration officials.

Normally, if a prestigious UW alumnus and ex-Bush administration official were to come to the Wisconsin Historical Society to spill the beans about a Bush administration scandal, it would make the news. The local TV stations would cover it, and it would merit front page headlines in The Capital Times and Wisconsin State Journal.

Reynolds’ indictment of the administration he worked for was a stunning, life-changing event for many of those who witnessed it. As the event’s organizer, I have received dozens of e-mails about it from people who were deeply affected.

Despite the prestigious speaker and venue, and the gravity of the charges aired, for most Americans indeed most Madisonians the event never happened. Why? Because it was censored, subjected to a total media blackout. Not a word in the State Journal. Not a word in The Capital Times. Not a word on the local TV news. Not a word on local radio news. And, of course, not a word in the national media.

Why the blackout? Because Reynolds violated the ultimate U.S. media taboo. He charges the Bush administration with orchestrating the 9/11 attacks as a pretext for launching a preplanned "long war" in the Middle East, rolling back our civil liberties, and massively increasing military spending.

When a former Bush administration insider makes such charges, how can the media ignore them? Is Reynolds a lone crank? Hardly. A long list of prominent Americans have spoken out for 9/11 truth: Rev. William Sloane Coffin, Sen. Barbara Boxer, former head of the Star Wars program Col. Robert Bowman, ex-Reagan administration economics guru Paul Craig Roberts, progressive Jewish author-activist Rabbi Michael Lerner, former CIA official Ray McGovern, author-essayist Gore Vidal, and many other respected names from across the political spectrum have gone on the record for 9/11 truth.

Are the media ignoring all these people, and dozens more like them, because there is no evidence to support their charges? Hardly. Overwhelming evidence, from the obvious air defense stand-down, to the nonprotection of the president in Florida, to the blatant controlled demolition of World Trade Center building 7, proves that 9/11 was an inside job. As noted philosopher-theologian and 9/11 revisionist historian David Griffin writes: "It is already possible to know, beyond a reasonable doubt, one very important thing: the destruction of the World Trade Center was an inside job, orchestrated by terrorists within our own government."

A growing list of scientists has lined up behind BYU physicist Steven Jones and MIT engineer Jeff King in support of Griffin’s position, as evidenced by the growth of Scholars for 9/11 Truth (st911.org) and Scientific Professionals Investigating 9/11 (physics911.net).

As a Watergate-era graduate of the University of Wisconsin School of Journalism, I was taught that exposing government lies and corruption is the supreme duty of the Fourth Estate. I simply cannot fathom the current situation. I do not understand the 9/11 truth blackout. I wish someone would explain it to me.

It is time to break the 9/11 truth blackout. Please put pressure on your local media through letters to the editor, call-ins to talk radio, and phone calls to local and national journalists.

And come see Peter Phillips, director of the media watchdog group Project Censored, who will lead a strategy session on breaking the blackout at the upcoming international 9/11 truth conference in Chicago: 9/11: Revealing the Truth, Reclaiming Our Future, to be held June 2-4 at the Embassy Suites Hotel, Chicago-O’Hare Rosemont. Go to http://911revealingthetruth.org for more information.

The event will feature presentations from dozens of 9/11 truth luminaries, from scientists like Steven Jones to intelligence agency whistle-blowers like David Shayler, and promises to be a historic, watershed event. Be there, or resign yourself to a future of endless war, lost liberty, and a craven media that cannot bring itself to breathe a single word of truth.

Kevin Barrett: Media hide truth: 9/11 was inside job

  • I’m glad to see that the US government, and in particular, the Executive Branch of the White House is being called to account for 9-11. I find Morgan Reynolds’ position rather strange, given his curious espousal of the ’blue screen theory’ (see http://www.iamthewitness.com/DarylBradfordSmith_BovineGas.html for a humourous expose’ of so-called truth-seekers like Reynolds). I am suspicious that Reynolds, like other so-called truth-seekers may only take things as far as a Bush-and-Cheney-did-it approach: a kind of containment strategy to focus attention on the visible members of the 9-11 plot while deflecting attention away from the ongoing destruction of the US military and economy by the criminal group that brought 9-11 about and is planning to crush Iran, and then, Syria.

    • 9/11 was an inside job

      No shit sherlock....that was the best day of Bush’s life, better than winning the lottery his birthday Christmas and Poppy dropping dead all at once.....

    • Just keep living your lie and losing elections.

    • Actually we’ve been living your lie while you steal elections . You support treason , but the noose is tightening on your heroes . Whatever you say is irrelevant because the evidence is leaking out everywhere .

    • Treason is leaking!!! Hang them if they leak in wartime. New York times!!!

  • Don’t back them into a corner, they will do it again. Remember, they have the guns and the bombs (that is, as in nuclear bombs) and they will use them on us if need be. There is the potential for evil beyond your wildest immagination. This part, I know and understand and am very fearful of. I just wonder why. Nothing happens in government without a reason, so why did this happen? What was the real core reason? Does anyone really know the answer?

    • If you want to get a quick answer, I suggest you go to www.hugequestions.com and view some of the short online video clips there. Especially the 9-11 Flash movie and the other one called "A Closer Look." These videos are not too long, but the mainstream internet media are unwilling to post them because they go to the heart of the matter on this issue. Most videos like Loose Change will only go so far. There are 2 other sites that are highly recommended:
      www.iamthewitness.com and
      www.globalresearch.ca
      The three above sites are highly reliable for information. Most others are containment sites which give only a little info, or else disinfo sites which give a bit of info, but then lead the reader away from the real perpetrators. The 3 above sites are very helpful.

    • Once these guys are taken out of office, they won’t have any power to invade Iraq or Iran or Syria or whoever!

      Tell all your friends to read internet news globally, alternative community radio, all of it.

    • Altenative radio AIR AMERICA is out of buisness!! LOSERS

    • Air America is broadcasting right now - 1pm EST - so how can it be "out of buiness(sic)" turd blossom?

    • It is the ONLY radio program that has to PAY its stations for radio time!! How long can it last!!!!
      Any decent normal radio progam sorry usually conservative MAKES money not LOOSES it. Have fun an the way down Sorros.

    • Air America Radio is not a "program." It’s a network that airs a number of programs. And, leasing air time from local stations - other than from WLIB in New York City, its flagship station, from which it also leases air time - is an industry standard. And, for someone who proclaimed that it’s already off the air, when it is not, why should anyone take seriously your other "insights" about AAR when they too, are just as wrong?

    • You will lose because you are wrong. I know you dont understan the meaning of that. But wrong will lose.

    • What a moron, and you claim to be in the military....when did they lower their standards to the obvious uneducated level of yours?

    • A lot of people are saying that -

      (1) 911 was an inside job - the oligarch’s calling card to unleash what’s happening to the world economy and the endless wars in progress and planned. "terrorism" is today’s boogeyman like "communism" was in the post ww2 period.

      (2) the media (nearly without exception) is totally sold out and compliant to the financial powers pulling the strings. The only bastion of freedom of speech is the internet and that too is earmarked for radical "controls" shortly.

      (3) the world economy is facing total melt-down and collapse. Unless radical changes are implemented in the world economic structure in the way of re-nationalising banking and infastructure development etc, then the collapse is inevitable with dire consequences for all.
      This is part of the plan to create a desperate, "dark ages" that will allow global (imperial) domination controlled by a world dictatorship. Austerity and violent oppression and suppression of freedom will reign supreme. "Globalisation" is another word for Imperialism. Corporatisation of governments/military power is a close definititon of "fascism".

    • Every American needs to get Webster Tarpley’s NEW book, " 9 /11; SYNTHETIC TERROR" It is awesome!!! It is mindnumbing with all the facts of our horrible government and the people in it. This needs to be the BIBLE for all Americans.

    • Thanks for the compliment. Your ilk will never understand.
