The mainstream media: what - or who - is it made of?

This is just another perfect example of how uninformed these journalists are. But thinking back to my own education, I now see that there is method to this madness.

I graduated from the University of Miami with a BS in Broadcast Journalism. In my four years of "higher learning," never once do I recall a professor telling us to be even remotely skeptical of government mouthpieces. Never do I once recall a professor insisting that we do our own research. In fact, everything was about reading AP stories off the wire and re-writing them for our own purposes. It was about using correct grammar... saying "alleged" when appropriate... and meeting deadlines.

From what I have seen, today's journalists aren't doing any research. They are sitting in front of their computers, pulling stories off the wires and regurgitating facts while intermittently inserting their own opinions.

A nice flashback. Covers both the 9/11 and the media - a very well thought out view, in my humble opinion.

My short response to Ms Stillwell's article can be found here:
The Truth About 9/11 Conspiracy Theories

"I Love My Country" by Larken Rose

Ain in-depth comment by the author:
About the only complaint, which I got second hand, was that someone didn't like me making fun of his flag and his freedom. Well, the song doesn't make fun of the flag, but it does make fun of his LACK of freedom. What I suspect the person actually felt was that I was mocking his version of patriotism. And in a way, I probably was.

Occasionally someone tells me I'm a "true patriot." I assume they mean it to be nice, but I'm not fond of "patriotism" at all. What I'm loyal to, and what I love, is not about an imaginary line around a piece of dirt, or about people who live inside such a line. It's not about any flag, or any republic "for which it stands." What I care about is humanity, which requires free will, which in turn requires liberty. I don't much care WHERE it happens, or to whom it happens. I don't want freedom any less for the guy in Alberta than I do for the guy in New Mexico, nor do I feel any special connection or bond to one over the other.

The trouble is, what most people call "patriotism" is nothing but mindless pack mentality. They "love" what they call their country based purely on the ACCIDENT of where they were born. So, it follows, if they were born in Germany in 1900, they would have ended up as "patriotic" Nazis. What would be good about that?

Other people, when they speak of "patriotism," mean loyalty to the idea of FREEDOM, because of the role that idea played in the creation of this country. Okay, THAT is something worth feeling attached to, even if the idea was mangled and corrupted along the way (from the very beginning, actually). But I think the difference in how people react to my silly video depends upon WHAT they are loyal to. If they are loyal to a flag, or a piece of dirt, they will probably feel insulted by it. And they should be. If, on the other hand, they are loyal to the idea of FREEDOM, I think they will completely approve of the message.

I am the founder of the organization Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth which is a fast-growing collaboration of 899 architectural and engineering professionals and 4,945 other supporters. The last few years have witnessed the emergence of mounting scientific evidence that the collapses of the Twin Towers and WTC Building 7 were not adequately explained by the official theories outlined in the 2002 FEMA and 2005 NIST reports. The Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth call for a new, fully funded unimpeachable Congressional investigation with subpoena power.

We are dedicated to presenting the evidence that supports our call in this fascinating and myth-shatteringeducational event:

Come to any of our three New England area events. We will lay out the abundant evidence found at the 3 WTC high-rise “collapses”. Please attend and engage in the Q&A to follow.

What the Evidence Shows

Sounds of explosions coming from each of the WTC Twin Towers were heard well before the collapses began. These were reported by over 118 first responders in the FDNY recorded “oral histories” (the release of which was resisted by the City of NY until forced by a New York Times FOIA filing). Numerous accounts of “flashes of light” which commonly accompany the detonation of demolition charges were also reported. Video footage reveals the striking symmetry, explosiveness and rapidity of the Towers’ destruction. This differed from the more classic controlled demolition of WTC 7 in its extreme explosiveness.

Each rubble site contained tons of molten metal “flowing like lava” in the basements – as observed by Leslie Robertson, WTC structural engineer, and numerous other first responders. The temperatures of these flows were far in excess of anything possible from a jet fuel fire or from the burning contents of the buildings. Scientists have determined conclusively that thermate – a high-tech incendiary - was used. Chemical traces of thermate were found in the steel and dust. Each “collapse” exhibited thick billowing pyroclastic dust clouds that rapidly expanded to over ten times the volume of the buildings. Each also showed squibs (explosive ejections of pulverized building materials) easily observed in many of the videos. The twin towers were explained to have “pancaked” down, however there was no stack of floors found at the bottom – nearly everything was blown outside the footprint of the towers in a symmetrical pattern extending 1,200 feet in diameter around each building – and 90,000 tons of concrete , metal decking and floor trusses were completely missing from the debris field.

Blueprint For Truth - The Architecture of Destruction Produced by Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth (www.ae911Truth.org), this powerful documentary film presents explosive new evidence of controlled demolition in the 2001 attacks upon World Trade Centers 1, 2 and 7!

Most damaging to the official story, WTC building 7 was a 47-story high-rise not hit by an airplane and yet became the 3rd modern steel-framed skyscraper to collapse symmetrically at near free-fall speed on 9/11 – in the exact manner of a controlled demolition with explosives. It collapsed into a neat, compact pile, exhibiting ALL the classic features of controlled demolition:

  • Rapid onset of “collapse”
  • Sounds of explosions at ground floor – seconds prior to collapse initiation
  • Symmetrical “collapse” – through the path of greatest resistance – at near free-fall speed (i.e. the core columns offered no resistance)
  • “Collapses” into its own footprint – with the steel skeleton broken up for shipment
  • Massive volume of expanding pyroclastic dust clouds
  • Tons of molten metal found in basement by demolition workers
  • Chemical signature of thermate (a high-tech incendiary) found in slag and dust samples
  • Rapid oxidation and intergranular melting found (by FEMA) in the structural steel samples
  • Expert corroboration from controlled demolition professionals
  • Foreknowledge of “collapse” by First Responders, media, NYPD, FDNY, etc.

You can review all of this evidence and much more online at www.AE911Truth.org.

Thank you - we look forward to meeting each of you!
