I called the producers of “Protocols of Zion” and explained they’d made a serious mistake and had to take my signs out of the documentary, as they led people to believe that 9/11 truth activists were something that they absolutely were not.They refused.
So from the beginning a lunatic fringe, or worse, blasts the media with anti-semetic messages, and they claim to be “9/11 truth activists” thereby not only turning the media off from looking at 9/11 physics and engineering facts, and disturbing Air Force stand down issues of 9/11 . . . but also spurring defamatory documentary footage aired nationally to discredit good citizens demanding answers to questions we deserve . . . which eventually leads to a Congressional Hearing on Homeland Security that ties 9/11 truth seekers . . . TO TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS. Very disturbing chronology.
Which AGAIN brings us back to the now publicly known cointelpro operations of the Vietnam War era, where agents pretended to be activists, in order to rip apart a movement that had much valuable information for Americans.
So, in nearly seven years of 9/11 truth activism, which I wasn’t recruited for, or hired for or whatever . . . but like “most” 9/11 truth activists, simply got to a point where the official story of 9/11 departed too radically from reality . . . I’ve seen this movement evolve and grow.
I’ve seen patterns where lunatics (or worse), in my opinion pretending to be 9/11 truth activists have systematically attacked 9/11 researchers and also 9/11 activists at EXACTLY the moment they are poised to unveil significant information or achieve some major break through in exposing the mass public to 9/11 facts that may disturb them.
Of course its not only the faux activists who attack, they have allies in corporate media.We saw actor, Charlie Sheen, eviscerated by mainstream corporate media when he publicly questioned the events of 9/11.Rosie O’Donnell who’d made The View a raving success, mysteriously "lost her job" after questioning the events of 9/11.
Anytime any researchers, or activists have threatened to expose the mass American public to the fact that we’ve been lied to about the events of 9/11, there is an increasingly obvious multidimensional attempt to destroy and silence the growing numbers demanding truth . . . one at a time . . . or as a group.
What is odd now, and what spurred me to write this oped, is that now a "novelist," a fiction writer, is being harassed even before his novel has hit the book stores . . .
This should cause the average person out there in America, and any investigative media out there to ask themselves . . .
. . . what in the hell is in this action thriller novel, called “The Shell Game” that is causing a novelist to be harassed? http://theshellgame.net/
Personally, I have read it, and I know exactly what it is that threatens the powers that be. I won't tell you here. You'll have to read it yourself. BUT, you can see why it may be causing turmoil in some dark corners by simly

Where a Public Official Who Lied Us Into War Lives, is diffe
Where a Public Official Who Lied Us Into War Lives, is different than an individual citizen's personal info being tapped and aired.
If you can't see the difference, that's sad.
Also, Alten's personal email was somehow accessed. Barrett never suggested hacking into public officials computers.
What's your point here . . . is it that anyone who questions this govt. is fair game for anything? I don't think most readers here would agree with you on that?

Public posting of private info without consent is wrong
Firstly, I think is TRULY sad and disturbing that Mr. Alten has experienced such attacks upon his person. And certainly I CONDEMN such attacks. And yet, Mr. Alten (and probably yourself Mr. Douglas) should be aware that when you compress the lines of fiction and reality together, there probably will be some "friction" in the form of public attacks. However, this certainly doesn't justify what's occurred or is occurring to either of you.
Secondly, it's my belief that at no point should a private citizen's or public official's private information be posted on the Internet, unless it's been processed in accordance with acceptable use laws or has received permission from the citizen or official themselves. I really don't see why it's "okay" that a public official's residence information can be posted – especially when it's posted by (a) someone(s) with neutral or negative opinions of the official. The "lied about the war" qualifier that you reference is immaterial because it represents an opinion and not established fact or legal truth.
And thirdly, the point made with regard Mr. Barrett's web site is that he appears to believe in a quid pro quo when it comes to "friction". The tasing of Mr. Meyer, while public, did not require the public posting of address information on the officers involved in securing him. But Mr. Barrett appeared to follow your suggestion that it's "okay" to post information on the officers. I honestly believe that' such action is just plain wrong and will only provoke a "retribution" attack in like kind.
I believe the irony of such an action, in light of Mr. Barrett's published support of Mr. Alten and his forthcoming book, borders on the edge of hypocrisy. This is the point being made by the comments.

Apparently attention to detail isn't your strong suit...
There's a difference between someone vested with government "authority" engaged in what appears to be abuse of that authority, and someone, e.g., the author, expressing a personal opinion about an important topic, as he has a right to do.
Alas such nuance has no place in the "mind" of a pathetic statist drone such as yourself.

This is a very nice discussion of some the issue we face as seekers for justice. The peace movement and the anti-globalization movement, in short, any group questioning the elite, get the same treatment. In Canada, some activists captured quite clearly agents provacateur on video at Montebello in Quebec. An activist must assume that at some point, the movement will be infiltrated.
I think that the stress of dealing with this damaged Ruppert's health, and eventually led to his abandonment of 9-11 truth work.
We still have the issue of understanding who is actively shilling, or conducting disinformation campaigns by infiltrating activist groups. We can have our suspicians, but unless we see the paychecks, I am not sure how we can distinguish infiltrators from people with ideas that are misguided, perhaps more than a little bit 'cranky'. Of course, we are regarded as 'cranks' ourselves by many, incuding frequent commentators on this site.
It is so good to see you, and 'George Washington' posting routinely on this site.
I make the following suggestion with all due respect and in an attempt to be helpful: please find an editor to go through your article. It needs to be edited in a number of areas. One example is that you use the sentence "Personally, I have read it, and I know exactly what it is that threatens the powers that be" twice at the end of the article (if that was intentional, it doesn't work).
Considering that your article is being being linked to from theshellgame.net, I thought you might want to make your article to be as tightened-up and polished as possible.
Best,
AC

Very good timing, Bill, especially with the recent attempt to (with complicity of the MSM) further propagandize Americans with the recent Iranian gunboat 'provocation' sham.
When people react with emotions such as fear, instead of cold hard reason & rational thinking, blind faith rather than evidence, they become sheep ready for slaughter by the unscrupulous. We have seen it too many times in history, but I still believe it possible (somehow) to break this vicious cycle. Keep up the good work; you have more people on your side now than even you are aware of.
For humans to survive & thrive as more than mere slaves 'we' have no choice but to specifically identify the elusive individuals in the 'they'. Just as the enemies of truth repeat their lies until they are believed to be true, so too must we repeatedly name the names of the criminals whose intent is to enslave humanity. Only then can an intentionally dumbed-down, ignorant, ill-informed, propagandized public have any hope of seeing the light of truth.

Congratulations on a well-written, insightful and comprehensive piece. The chronology of major figures like Jones and Gage is valuable in and of itself. The added layer of cointelpro is made even more effective because of that solid work.
You probably know this, but Michael Wolsey at Visibility 9/11 also investigates the cointelpro aspect and has done a series on it: http://visibility911.com/
Again, congrats and thanks for this important article.

“However, some of the transcripts are highly redacted. What information did the New York Times redact? You guessed it... supporting evidence for Directed Energy Weapons! This was confirmed by a later interview with one of the First Responders!
So, the media is nothing more than a propaganda machine. Anyone promoting controlled demolitions instead of directed energy weapons is playing right into the 9/11 perpetrators' hands.”
So is CB_Brooklyn one of those you denounce as Disinfo?

BUT, if you want to turn off everyone from the 9/11 truth movement, a sure way to do it is to tell them that there were no planes hitting the WTC buildings on 9/11, and they only saw some fantastic holographic illusion.
They'll laugh at you and never look at real 9/11 facts again.

First of all, government plants like Steven Jones have brainwashed the "truth movement" into thinking directed energy weapons and Tv-Fakery are "crazy disinfo". He did that for a purpose: to hide the real truth.
Second, there are people who have the brains to apply basic physics to an event, such as Newton's Laws of Motion to the cartoon airplanes. The videos are fake.
Third, your claim that people will "laugh at you" is silly and unfounded. The TRUTH is that most people see the TRUTH of 9/11 from the directed energy weapon / TV-Fakery evidence, especially when coupled with attorney Jerry Leaphart's two court cases in the US District Court, Southern New York.
Even Peter Jennings knew the 9/11 airplane video was fake. Note his nervousness and word fumbling when ABC plays the clip back in slow motion. Click here for video.Show it to people and gauge their reaction.
If people laugh at the idea of holograms/projections, show them the analysis of the WTC Task Force Interviews that were published in the New York Times. Prove to them that a very small percentage of the First Responders who reported seeing airplanes also reported hearing them. In other words, most of the First Responders did NOT report hearing commercial aircraft. However, they had no trouble hearing the fighter jets later on!Click here for analysis. Show it to people and gauge their reaction.
The perpetrators are controlling the "truth movement"! Can't you see that?
Lenin, the first Communist dictator after the takeover of Russia in 1917, is widely credited with the following quotation, "The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves."

How do we know that Steven Jones found anything? I mean, has anyone even heard of this guy before 9/11? I haven't, but others have. He was the one who discredited free energy Cold Fusion research back in 1989. (See my blog here for information.)
Take a look at this 1993 news video clip of Dr Eugene Mallove. He certainly seems confident in the future of Cold Fusion heating devices in homes, doesn't he? Note that he blames the Dept of Energy report in 1989 for erasing all funding for Cold Fusion.
See Dr Mallove's 1993 book "Fire from Ice" and you'll learn the techniques that Steven Jones used to discedit Cold Fusion. Then apply it to 9/11 and you'll see it's the same thing!
As far as the dancing Israelis, it may have actually happened. But the way I see things these days... if it was published in the media, it was for the purpose of distracting people from other issues. Why else would they publish it???

People would be more willing and less fearful of adopting the views of 911 Truth activists if they felt they were calling for forgiveness rather than retribution and punishment.
The peace movement should call for granting amnesty from prosecution and guarantee of an ample, lifetime pension to anyone who agrees to testify on their roles in the events of 9/11, extending this offer to any members of the US government, foreign governments and/or terrorist groups involved in the planning or execution of the attacks of that day.
Additionally, individuals should step forward and volunteer to spend time working with those who give testimony on crimes they have committed so that they might be reintegrated into society.
Instead of executing Nazi war criminals we should have devoted all the human resources available to us to rehabilitating them, awakening in them awareness of the nature of their actions so that they could have come to understand that they must make amends. If they had remained alive they would have been a living testament to the transformative powers of forgiveness.
Historians and psychologists especially should come out in favor of preserving invaluable study material in the form of the opportunity to converse with the authors of unfortunate historical deeds.
A declaration of willingness to forgive would force the government's hand. If it were to arrest or make attempts to discredit someone calling for 911 truth plus forgiveness, that would be a tacit acknowledgement by the government of its complicity in the 9/11 attacks. Imagine the impact of footage on YouTube of police arresting demonstrators carrying signs reading: "I forgive you George Bush for 9/11." Perhaps even the passively complicit mainstream media could be convinced to show someone carrying a sign calling for amnesty for the perpetrators of 9/11.
If we consider ourselves morally superior to the government, we should propose actions and attitudes that are more humanitarian with respect to them than their actions have been with respect to us.
I strongly suspect that the white apartheid government in South Africa did not agree to fair elections until assured that they would not be executed or imprisoned by the black majority government when it came to power.
In "The Art of War", Sun Tzu said never to surround an enemy. If you do not leave him an out, he will fight to the last man
Finally, these ideas do not depend on the media for their dissemination. If you can convince six friends of the merit of these ideas and get them to tell six of their own friends tomorrow, each of whom tells six of their friends the next day, and so on, then the ideas will reach every person in the world in two weeks by word of mouth alone (do the math).
