As reported by Bill Christison, former CIA analyst who (at least claims) to be a truther. Yet he also allows Counterpunch to publish his columns. And Finkelstein? Great guy, but not a truther. Still, denying him tenure speaks volumes about the influence of the Israel Lobby.

The neoconservatives have rewritten US war doctrine to permit preemptive US nuclear attack on non-nuclear countries . They have demonized Iran as the greatest threat since Hitler. Neoconservatives have invented "Islamofascism," something that exists only in the neoconservative propaganda used to instill in Americans hatred of Muslims. The neoconservatives have dehumanized Muslims as monsters who must be destroyed at all costs. Recent statements by neoconservative leaders such as Norman Podhoretz read like the ravings of ignorant lunatics. Podhoretz has written Muslims out of the human race. He demands that their culture be deracinated.

One question-- Why does Paul Craig Roberts allow his columns to be published by Counterpunch, given that CP's editors are anti-Truth and censor his 9/11 related columns?

This is something I wrote before Google went public... a comment on the recent open thread at 911B about Google censorship and their "do no evil" motto prompted me to repost...

The Googlian Knot

OK so I decided to sit in Harvard Square for a while after work today with my truth now sign and some pamphlets. A kid, maybe 17 or 18, wearing a red Che shirt stops to chat.

He tells me he has a friend who is an intern for the Nation and that he is working on a piece that will "expose" the ties between the 9/11 Truth movement to the right wing. He mentioned specifically "that movie you have coming out", and playing dumb I said "what movie? we have lots..." Loose Change, he said.

Aha...

Well, I told him, I don't really think Loose Change is necessarily legit so it wouldn't surprise me, and proceeded to explain to him that there was a real truth movement and a fake one. And you're part of the real one he said. Yup.

Time for the truth about the Liberty

By Ward Boston Jr.
June 8, 2007

Forty years ago this week, I was asked to investigate the heaviest attack on an American ship since World War II. As senior legal counsel to the Navy Court of Inquiry, it was my job to help uncover the truth regarding Israel's June 8, 1967, bombing of the Navy intelligence ship Liberty.

On that sunny, clear day 40 years ago, Israel's combined air and naval forces attacked the Liberty for two hours, inflicting 70 percent casualties. Thirty-four American sailors died, and 172 were injured. The Liberty remained afloat only by the crew's heroic efforts.

Israel claimed it was an accident. Yet I know from personal conversations with the late Adm. Isaac C. Kidd – president of the Court of Inquiry – that President Lyndon Johnson and Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara ordered him to conclude that the attack was a case of “mistaken identity.”

I know the title sounds queer--not that there's anything wrong with sounding queer, mind you--but think about it. We're often told we are guilty as truthers of inflating our numbers. Well suppose the relatively conservative Scripps Howard/Ohio Univeristy poll that found (whether it is dsinfo or not) 36% or so Americans doubting the official story is a gross overestimate and the real figure was closer to ten percent.

That would make truthing on par with homosexuality -- 10% of the population in other words who are "out" to some people and not to others, and others who are out to everyone. The difference is that the 90% believers in the OCT will actually appear to each other to be spreading a communicable disease and witch hunts could ensue.

Anyway in the case of gay activism, the meaning of pride is to be proud and open about what you are--i.e. don't be ashamed or frightened--tell the world!

Enjoy!

Oral testimonies gathered together in “They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45” by Milton Mayer (University of Chicago Press) -- a book of first-hand accounts by people who lived through the Hitler era – point out that the same EXACT PATTERN of events and processes (physical as well as psychological) that occurred in Germany during that dark era are now visibly occurring in the United States and Canada. It is a process described by Germans who lived through that time as “the gradual habituation of the people.” They turn the heat up on the pot in small gradual increments, testing you and getting you accustomed to things that several years ago would have made you recoil in shock or disgust – FEMA prison camps, torture, pre-emptive war, false-flag terror, rigged elections, the dismantling of the Constitution, etc. Having mentioned this, I must point out that the current trial of independent journalist Christopher Bollyn is being used as a test case.

The quest for the truth about 9/11 is for most of us the most challenging thing we have ever undertaken.  Thankfully, history is full of remarkable individuals whose wisdom serves us well.  Feeling down?  Here's some chicken soup for the truther soul...  Those with "book" listed in their create content section (left column at the bottom) should feel free to add stuff here!  feel free, you can't break it!!

Just thought I would bring everyone up to speed on the goings on. wtcdemolition now has a wiki and (as well you know, cheeky monkeys!) a blog.

these additions have nothing to do with the recent dust up over at 911blogger, which this time I had nothing to do with... :) Trying to live under one big tent is hard and we should be encouraging, not discouraging, spreading out the movement over as broad a range of media and venues as possible. This is one small step for a blogger, but a giant leap for the truth movement.

Al Qaeda Also Fed Up

Friends, we know the damage caused to our nation and to countless innocent people by McCarthyism. We know that when we let ourselves be divided we become vulnerable to to those with ill intentions. Many people wonder if we are right about 9-11, why then has no one "of importance" come out to take our side.

Anyone wanna talk about 9/11?

Please comment on what you'd like a 9/11 discussion board to be/do for you!
