I also question the release of the NIST report, which is conveniently timed right before the election. There are other very interesting hit pieces that we receive from the media.
In the latest issue of Mother Jones, there’s a huge hit piece about 9/11, as well as my movie, which they single out. Again, it’s an article without any substance. They distort the facts and they mislead the public in the article. I think it’s a concerted effort to deal with the growing effectiveness of 9/11 Truth. People keep asking questions which won’t go away. I think this is part of a concerted effort by the administration and the mainstream media to thwart our effort effectively. They’ve been doing a pretty good job, but we’re not going to go away.
Unfortunately, when you have guys on television like they had yesterday, supporting the now official version of Building 7 collapse, most people in the country will buy it, just like they bought Colin Powell’s performance at The United Nations. A few years from now, we will all agree it was a big lie. Now we all agree that Colin Powell lied. The message of weapons of mass destruction was a complete fabrication. We all agree on that.
Bonanno: If I’m not mistaken, Colin Powell agrees on that, too, doesn’t he?
Kupsc: I think, if he really agreed on that, he’d blow his brains out and that would be the apologetic message to the rest of the world.
Bonanno: I’m rather certain that there have been articles written which indicate that he now knows that he was used. But, I’m sorry to have interrupted you. Go ahead.
Kupsc: No, no, that’s just fine. I’m not really following Colin Powell’s career. I lost my interest in that individual long ago. In fact, if he has any pangs of conscience, I would encourage him to speak out on that.
It’s safe to bash the Bush regime because it’s an outgoing administration. Even the media’s picking up on certain things that were proven to be false. They were distorted facts that led us into two simultaneous wars. Over 4,000 American troops have died; millions of civilians have died in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet, we all know that this was based on a lie. Even the media knows that. Yet, nobody wants to discuss, with any degree of intelligence, the issue of 9/11. If we agree that the administration virtually lied about everything since they came into office, why wouldn’t you want to include 9/11 in this equation? It’s a very simple question. It’s still taboo for most people and most media outlets.
It’s an ongoing effort for the 9/11 Truth Movement and people that have questions such as myself. It’s a struggle, an uphill battle. I don’t know what the answer would be. I don’t know how we can overcome this apathetic ignorance of scientific facts and laws of physics that are completely neglected involving the collapse of The Twin Towers and Building 7.
Maybe people don’t realize that the NIST is the government. It’s a pseudo-scientific body that is fully sponsored by the government. How can you expect the government to investigate itself?
Bonanno: They seem to do that a lot in this administration.
Kupsc: It’s completely preposterous. It’s like having your house burglarized and going to the burglar and saying, “Hey, do you have any information about my little problem that I had last night?” It’s absolutely ridiculous, what’s happening, and people are buying it, but not all.
There’s Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and Richard Gage, who’s working on the new NIST report on Building 7 and there are others who are doing great investigative reporting. There are people like yourself, Michael, who are not afraid to talk about this openly and posting this interview on OpEdNews. There’s a big underground – so to speak – underground movement contradicting the mainstream opinion; I should say propaganda flat out. There’s no big mystery that most news dispatches come straight from the White House.
This has been documented. I’m not inventing anything. The fact that the CIA controls the media has been really well documented by people like Carl Bernstein of Watergate fame who wrote an article in 1977 which was basically entitled “The CIA and the Media”. He described how the CIA is planting editors in virtually every media outlet in the country, in newspaper, television, radio. Now, thirty years later, we can only imagine the influence they wield. There’s no big mystery about the CIA’s involvement if we really look back at how all the CIA’s directors, 9 out of 10, ended up working for Wall Street.
Bonanno: I can tell you that I have here in my hands The World Trade Center Building Performance Study from FEMA which, surprisingly, they sent me when I requested it. Not so surprising is the fact that real scientists wrote the things that are in this report and what they wrote is a bit hard to swallow.
I said I was going to ask you one more personal question but you brought up the fact that you lived in the Soviet Block for a while. I was just wondering if that helped in your writing “The Reflecting Pool”.
