Last night I watched South Park in AMAZEMENT, as their character for the 9/11 truth movement wore a black shirt with "911TRUTH.ORG" in huge white letters that ALWAYS seemed to be facing the viewers. It got better, Cartman and his buddy actually got to the White House where Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al, confessed to the crimes of 9/11.
Then things descended, and it was all a hoax, and Bush et al said that actually they were the ones who created the 9/11 truth movement, to fool Americans into believing they controlled everything, and that all those tens of millions believing 9/11 was an inside job were fools manipulated by the smart Bush people.
So many possibilities emerge from this. One thing I've found over the last few years is that media will often write a "9/11 hit piece" and then weave within it many links and information that gets the reader curious about the fact that the official story doesn't really make sense, when you look at it. This harkens back to the old KGB run Soviet Union, where journalists would "hide" facts within stories, and the Soviet people were savvy enough to get the "real" message.
A few months after 9/11 a Canadian newspaper writer did just this, writing what looked like a 9/11 hit piece, but working major disturbing facts in it, and then giving my email address findtruth40@hotmail.com for those wanting more information. When I called him, he apologized for the hit piece quality, but said that's the only way he could get the facts to the public, past his editor. The result was amazing. I got hundreds of emails from angry Canadians who believed that 9/11 was an inside job, and who'd read past the Trojan horse hit piece aspect and saw the facts within the article.
I believe the makers of South Park may have been doing the same thing. The reason I say this, is because the "911TRUTH.ORG" organizer character was on the screen A LOT, with his chest, where the t-shirt said "911TRUTH.ORG" in huge white letters aimed right at the camera or the viewers. It was up on the screen for a long, long, long time. When I went to www.911truth.org last night while the show was on it was slower than it had ever been. My educated guess is that this was due to MASSIVE traffic on the site, people watching South Park were running to their computers to check out this 911TRUTH.ORG. 911truth.org is one of the finest 9/11 truth websites, and a GREAT portal for new people to enter the 9/11 truth movement. Perhaps the South Park creators were savvy enough to do what the Canadian newspaper writer had done early on, get the message out "in any way possible."
Now, having said that, there is another aspect of the South Park episode, that bears dealing with. If we take the episode at face value, which as I've already said, I think their objective was more sympathetic to 9/11 truth seekers than what the surface suggested, we see another issue.
In the episode, at the end, the Bush White House was again actually the organizer of the 9/11 truth seeking movement and websites to make Americans think that they were all powerful, and would not want to challenge them. Its funny because this is a line I've heard from a few peace & justice organizers over the years, as I've desperately tried to get them to take on 9/11 truth, and the government's lies and cover ups regarding 9/11. They said their people would be overwhelmed, and "give up" if they thought the government was behind 9/11. In essence they thought they had to "protect their people" from the truth. These organizers greeted us with suspicion, and some said that by talking about 9/11, we were "distracting" people from the issue of war, as if they were thinking what the South Park episode had suggested that 9/11 truth seekers were from the government.
That is dangerous heady territory for human beings to enter, when they have to hide facts from the people they represent. And the fact is, it wasn't true. We, the 9/11 truth seeking movement, came together during the massive protests against the build up for war. We purchased and distributed thousands of "Stop the 9/11 Cover Up" signs at the major peace demonstrations in New York and San Francisco in the lead up to the war. The marchers were HUNGRY for them. Many putting aside their peace signs they'd brought for the march in favor of holding "Stop the 9/11 Cover Up". They saw the reality that until this lie is exposed, our people will be frightened into giving all they have for weapons and protection. They saw that the 9/11 lie was not just about war in Iraq, but war in Iran, Syria, Venezuela, and wherever there was oil, as described in the PNAC document which called for an attack on the US homeland to frighten Americans into agreeing to this insane oil grabbing foreign policy.
The other aspect of the South Park episode that bears scrutiny is the idea that "19 crazy Moslems" as the South Park writers wrote, fooled the trillion dollar US air defense and intelligence behemouth and slipped in to fly hijacked planes for an hour and a half flying perfect bullseyes into three highly protected buildings, without one interceptor showing up until it was too late. Then in their story the Bush people acted like 9/11 truth seekers to "fool Americans" into thinking that Bush et al DID do 9/11, so that Americans would think the Bush people were all powerful.
Of course the initial obvious problem with this is that if the massive military industrial complex of the United States is so "powerless" that they couldn't have pulled this off, how are we to believe that 19 ragtag Moslems directed by someone in a cave with a cell phone could do it. It's insane on its face.
However, the most disturbing aspect of this is the idea that we accept this absurdity, and give up our power to actually look at the facts. That we accept this schizophrenic reality, and assume that our government is simultaneously powerless to stop 19 ragtag Moslems, and yet sophisticated enough to create a false 9/11 truth movement. This tells Americans that it's all way too complex, and you should just give up, sit back, and let the smart people like "Bush" and "Cheney" run things. Yeah right, let them run things right into the proverbial ground.
But, as I said, I am an optimist. I believe this South Park episode sent thousands and thousands of people to 911TRUTH.ORG where they learned a lot, and will share that with others. I believe there is great hope for truth, and our nation, and our world. It is always darkest before the dawn.
When Americans realize how they've been lied to, they will begin to question EVERYTHING. This will break the glass menagerie twinkling lies and reveal that a free energy electric economy has been possible for ten years, and covered up. (See "Who Killed the Electric Car."). They will see that we can export this and other renewable technology worldwide, creating jobs here, increased health, and a calmer less energy starved world.
I see great things for humanity. But, we'd need to kick our politicians and media in the butt to make a few things happen first. www.CongratulationsDemocratsNOWdoYourJob.com is a way to do that. Every morning people sit down with their morning coffee there, and begin the drum beat that will force our media and Congress to do their jobs. South Park sent thousands to 911Truth.org's wonderful website. The truth is coming. It may not always look the way we thought it would, when it came out, but truth is relentless. Like the water that carved out the Grand Canyon. Truth keeps coming and will not go away.

I seems you over evaluated this South Park episode. Trey Parker and Matt Stone spend from Thursday to the following Wednesday creating their episode, from brainstorming the plot to animating the scenes. Seeing as the episode was created in less than a week I do not beleive that Trey Parker and Matt Stone would put a "hidden message" such as you suggested into their episode. It just seems illogical for them to put such a hidden message into one of their episodes they created so quickly and expect people to really begin to pick up on it.
Now its hard to say where Trey Parker and Matt Stone really stand on the issue of 911. As you can recall, in the new episode the character wearing the shirt that says "911truth.org" was killed twice. First he begged for his life before he got shot in the head, second he was killed when a detective shoots him in the chest. The main characters of South Park also constantly ridicule the idea that the government was responsible for 911. Kyle calls the theories "retarded" and says that just because there are holes in the government's story it does not mean that the story is false. Kyle and Stan also state that the "1/4 of Americans who beleive 911 was a conspiracy are retards". It's much easier to look at these examples and beleive that Trey Parker and Matt Stone beleive, like many Americancs, the theories of 911 being a conspiracy are completely rediculous.

Actually, I think it is "You" who overanalyzes the South Park episode. Simple fact is that they chose perhaps the most responsible and effective 9/11 truth activist site "911Truth.org" and kept it planted across tv screens for most of the episode, and the website 911truth.org got tons of hits that day due to the episode.
If the South Park people were against fighting for 9/11 truth, then they weren't very good at opposing it, because they sent many people to computers, to discover the most effective 9/11 research and information site on the internet.

It is hard to say what they were trying to get across in that episode. On one side, yes they did alert many fans of south park to visit that site. (including me which I did not take seriously what-so-ever.) On the other hand one could say they made a mockery of such an idea by contantly butchering the man wearing the shirt and making him seem almost crazy. Plus like I said before, they were constantly calling the ideas "retarded" and the people who beleive the ideas "retarded".
Perhaps a few mis took what the episode was trying to get across and actually went to the site to take a serious look at it. But I beleive most South Park fans (such as I) took the whole episode as a joke and laughed at the simple mockery that was taking place.
It's easy to look at the guy wearing the shirt and say "Trey Parker and Matt Stone must be trying to get their fans to view this website" which may not be entirely not true but if you look at the bigger picture anyone can easily say how ridiculous and "retarded" they made the whole idea sound.

The plain arrogance and stupidity of others is just mind blowing at times...
To prove that all of the "conspiracy theories" (if you can even call them that) are wrong you may visit the site www.debunking911.com. You may learn something. It proves every "conspiracy theory" I have heard so far (and some I had not) to be complete and utter lies fabricated by those who can not accept the truth or the ones who are too arrogant to do their own proper research on the matter.
Please I ask you just take 20 minutes out of your day to read through the site www.debunking911.com. I beleive we should be inquisitive about this matter but we should not have to fabricate our own truth in order to compensate for our inability to comprehend the truth behind these events.

But it's a problem exhibited by those who without the slightest doubt, blindly accept the myriad absurdities of the official 9/11 account as the truth. None are as clueless as those victimized by accomplished con artists, and if you haven't noticed lately, the U.S. government is full of con artists. Since day one, thoughful Americans have questioned the official 9/11 account, due to it's myriad absurdities. Absurdities that in effect render the government's 9/11 account impossible, to put it mildly. The question is therefore not whether those slandered as crazy for exercising their civic duty to question politician's 9/11 lies, but why do so many readily play the role of useful idiot, by their blind acceptance of the government's zany and still unproven claims, about 9/11? Rather than expose their 9/11 alibi to independent scrutiny, the government has so far resorted to ridicule of those who question their 9/11 alibi. Though this could now turn to persecution; none of this in any way, proves the official story.
I believe it was Dr. Goebbels who said: The bigger the lie, the more likely people will believe it! The U.S. mainstream mentality has in fact become so incompetent, many willingly accept the idea that those Washington politicians who gave us the absurd official 9/11 story, are incapable of either corruption or treason. 9/11 as a criminal case involving both highlevel corruption, and treason, is special because most of its factual evidence, remains either hidden from the public, or destroyed. As such, it can neither be understood, or solved, by sham commissions, flag waving, or giving those responsible a free pass. The recent SouthPark 9/11 hit piece is merely another attempt at hoodwinking the public into dropping any serious scrutiny of the official 9/11 story. By urging the gullible masses to laugh at those who know the official story to be a hoax, the uninformed will remain deceived and in the dark about all things 9/11. On the other hand, whenever the government's 9/11 tale is exposed to serious independent scrutiny, it invariably evaporates into the smoke and vapor, that it really is. Blind faith, and denial, are the eternal curses of mankind.

Ok I'll give you that many people blindly follow what the government has told them about 9/11. But there are also those who have used physics, logic, and common sense to figure the government has not lied to us about 9/11. As I have said before there are many great web sites dedicated to looking into the truth about 9/11. Have you seen them? I know most who say they have researched everything there is to know about 9/11 have not looked at the other side of the subject that defends what the government claims.
You made some good points about how many people are gullible and blindly follow what they are told but you did not make any attempt to prove your beleifs about what you believe to be the truth about 9/11. Do you have any?
Try and convince me, please I am listening. But before you do I beg you to look into what you too have been blindly following. (if what you say is true and all evidence has been hidden or destroyed then aren't you also blindly following what the libertarians have told you?) I have asked questions, looked for proof about what the government has told me about 9/11 and the proof is indeed out there. All you need to do is use your mind and do some research. I have heard all the theories about what "really" happened on 9/11 and there is always an obvious and easy to understand explanation to prove them wrong.
People who beleive what the government says are not always as ignorant and blind as may think. (Stereotype?) We too ask our own questions, conduct our own research. We simply do not reasearch a topic with such a closed mind that we refuse to believe that our government is telling the truth.

The official 9/11 story is a classic example of the "Big Lie", which is believed by most people, because the alternative is just too frightening. In other words, the truth though factually verifiable and real, is often too scary and therefore rejected by the public. A big lie on the other hand, given government sanction, is accepted as the easiest way out. The public's fear, and disbelief of the truth, therefore remains, the conspirator's greatest defense. Modern propaganda and brainwashing has progressed quite a bit since Dr. Goebbels plied his trade in the Third Reich. Today, the U.S. public lives under a daily regime of mind control so sophisticated, few even suspect its existence. The most effective thought control takes place, among those who're unaware they're thoughts aren't always their own. The widespread acceptance of the official 9/11 story, in spite of its many adsurdities, is an example of the media's awesome power to put real thoughts, into the minds of real people. It's not surprising then, that for many, the official 9/11 account is the obvious truth, and so-called "conspiracy theories", wild and crazy lies. This is after all, exactly what media borne mind-control has impressed upon their minds.
The public's faith in the official 9/11 story, is therefore akin to a religious belief and has nothing to do with facts, logic, or physics. It is about blind faith and government propaganda combining to keep the congregation, faithful. For the government the U.S. public is the "congregation" and the official story the "orthodox doctrine". Stepping outside of this formidable mental prison, is just too much for some people. They resort to automatically blocking out any and all "heretical" ideas. Thus the falsehood of the official story, and the truth of the so-called conspiracy theories completely escapes them. In today's world of universal deceit, the information age doubles as the age of disinformation.
You say there is "logic", and "physics" to prove the government isn't lying? How is this possible, since the government is composed of proven serial liars, and government connected "experts" are often compelled to support official stories, even when the government is lying! The issue here is therefore not physics, or logic, but an individual's ability to approach this subject free of the fear, denial, and rigid orthodoxy, so common to mainstream America. If one can achieve true independence of thought, exposing the official 9/11 story as a hoax, is really quite easy. There's a growing body of print, video, and on-line resources, that do a great job of this. If ever you're ready, you should give them a second look.

It's easy to look at once side of an issue such as this one and be convinced and never go research on the other side. (I am, of course, referring to you still not having looked into why lots of people continue to fight for the 9/11 truth.)
I am very open to any information on the 9/11 theories that I come across (as all people should be) and I would be delgihted to examine any websites you know of that are convincing to you. I was not afraid to ask questions and I did my own research to fine what I now believe to be the truth.
I would also like to direct your attention to some other websites that I like. Many of them do actually use physics and proof to prove the theories wrong. (yes it is possible) Here ares some easy to understand sites: www.debunking911.com, www.popularmechanics.com/technology/military_law/1227842.html. Here's a good one, an interview with an expert in structural and fire protection engineering who was one of the WTC investigators. The website is: click here
Want more? I'd be glad to send them. :)
Perhaps you got the idea that it is not possible from a website that was trying to brian wash you? How would you know? That is, if what you said is correct perhaps what you just stated are not really your own thoughts?

The nature of modern governments is to lie, not tell the truth. Truth in modern governments, is as rare as miracles, but lying to deceive the public, is a time-honored government practice. The history of modern governments, clearly proves this. In short, there has rarely, if ever, been such a thing as an honest government, in all of modern history. Yet some would have us believe that the Bush administration, which could easily be considered one of the most dishonest governments in recent history, is capable of telling the truth about anything, let alone about 9/11! It hasn't happened, and will never happen.
Furthermore, a lie can't be made true, by any amount of physics, logic, expert testimony, or any other method. Proven liars like the Bush administration, for the same reasons, can't be magically converted into honest men. The testimony of "experts" is only as trustworthy as the expert's conflicts of interest. Government connected experts have vested interests, in supporting government official stories, even if false. That an humongous lie like the official 9/11 story, should be supported by certain government connected experts, is therefore not at all surprising. The official 9/11 story as told to us by the Bush administration, is a complete fabrication, because it's full of lies, yet widely believed, because people prefer such myths, to the bitter truths of the so-called conspiracy theories.

Government and Lying, Can There Be One, Without The Other?
It's clear that the people at South Park were trying to toe the 'party line' on 9/11. The mainstream U.S. media being one of the pillars supporting the bogus official 9/11 story, will never allow it's resources to be used to weaken the hold of this myth over the unsuspecting masses. From day one to the present, the official story has rested upon nothing but the government's assurances that it's true. No independently verifiable proof has ever, or will ever, be brought forth to support the government's claims about what occurred on 9/11. This of course doesn't alleviate the fact that the official story is absurd as stated, and could in no way, have ever occurred without a lot of help from highlevel government players. The success of the official story, as well as the airing of the recent South Park hit piece, is a testament to the ease by which millions today, can be completely bamboozled by what they see and hear on TV!
It is only through independent analysis of the full spectrum of 9/11 evidence, and this includes the large body of evidence hidden and suppressed by the government and media, can one have any chance of understanding what really occurred on 9/11. Blindly accepting the as yet unproven claims, of the government and media, is essentially what the public is programmed to do, in an emerging Orwellian society such as ours. In an era when Presidents, the media, and political leaders, lie like there's no tomorrow, basic critical thinking is the most important thing people must do when dealing with 9/11. Unfortunately they mostly fail to ask themselves these two simple, yet critical questions: Who says that it's crazy to suspect our government of complicity in the 9/11 attacks? Who benefits most when people overlook the fact, that both the media, and numerous corrupt government officials, have been recently caught in a number of humongous lies? In both cases, the answer is the same: The government, that's who! 9/11 it turns out, is the humongous government lie, that started it all.

fiends, romans, and country-, um, persons -
below is a copy of an email i sent to counterpunch (couldn't find alex cockburn's direct email eddress, so had to send it to their generic one), in which i admonished him for unfair use of my admittedly angry
(private) email; which i had no intention of seeing published, nor was it composed as a refutation of nine one one skeptic debunkers...
needless to say, i doubt he will be willing to publish this less-hysterical email, which is really only a meta-analysis of his dishonest 'reporting' and opinionating on nine one one...
i barely skimmed the surface of his illogical rants and nine one one 'anomalies', but i don't think cockburn is operating with an open mind at this point...

plucking an email not intended for publication -much less as an exposition of nine one one, um, let's say 'anomalies'- to represent the koo koo kwazy k-k-k-konspiracy kooks, is both underhanded, rude, and intellectually dishonest... technically illegal, but what the hell, you've pre-determined those nutjobs -and they're all around you, BOO ! ! !- can be dismissed as, like, you know, totally-tinfoil, so no

stop the sophistry: of *COURSE* gatekeeping exists in any media market (or organization); ask noam (maybe uncle hugo can recommend some bedtime reading for your edification)... the Important question is: is it malicious, anti-democratic, authoritarian, korporate-friendly gatekeeping; or is the gatekeeper fairer than not, more interested in social justice than not, and generally fulfilling their roles as proxy/champion/investigator and town crier for the average joe/sephina ? ? ?
as far as gatekeepers go, of *COURSE* you're not the new york times of the left-wing journo-blogs, but you have *some* standing (maybe the 'new york post' of west blogistan, hhh)... of *COURSE* you function
as a gatekeeper of sorts; so does senor chomsky, so does amy goodman, katie couric, jon stewart, matt sludge, etc, etc, etc... collectively, your delphi-like roles include/exclude subjects, people, publications, etc, as acceptable or not...
just as *ANY* people who served as media conduits for any media-subsector (or organization) would be the 'gatekeepers'... it's a truism; it isn't an epithet, it isn't a k-k-k-konspiracy, it just *is*... whether you function as a gatekeeper in a major or minor role to benefit the korporatocracy, or you provide the vital reporting, oversight, and analysis of 'our' (sic) gummint/korporatocracy, is what
determines whether democracy has a chance to live free or die...
you should be first in line to preach such obvious diagnosis of one symptom of media malfeasance in our society, but -a common failure- you are unable to self-diagnose...

scrupulously detailed, honest, and forthcoming, and instituted all of the recommendations to prevent such acts... (oh, and he didn't take advantage of nine one one politically, either, that's another myth...)
coup 2004 (you pussies never learn, do you?):
lying stealing liar bastard cheat liar pig
afghaniraq, what geneva conventions, wiretaps, torture, lawlessness, habeus corpus:
lying bastard creepy lying war krimes traitor coward criminal liar dictator
ain't that sumpin', king george done lied to us about everything *BUT* nine one one, what a heckuva job, georgie ! ! ! (oh, and alex, you too, you little gatekeeper, you're no fatekeeper, you little gatekeeper... ha ha ha ) ! ! !
the ultimate irony? senor cockburn IS lumped in
as 'beyond the pale', as far as anyone in
the 'mainstream' is concerned...
hee hee hee
alex/cp ARE lumped together with ALL the so-called lunatic fringe and the real lunatic fringe, too...
ho ho ho of the 1% of the public who have even heard of alex cockburn/counterpunch, 99% of them know him and his work being PRESENTED as ultra-left, radical, koo-koo-kwazy k-k-k-konspiracists, on a par with a tarred/feathered ward churchill and the others guilty
of being liberals/progressives/commies (*ptui*)...
ha ha ha *THAT'S* why you get your panties in a wad, and try to distinguish between yourself (pinnacle of scientific reasoning and thinkology you are), and those loudmouthed, foulmouthed, bigmouthed, mouthy nutjobs who hallucinate their country has been violently hijacked...
ak ak ak
(yeah, AS IF sean vanity, limpbough, oreally, (or any newsdroid) who squeal like piggies about lefties being koo-koo-kwazy k-k-k-konspiracists (justifiably or not); but they make a point to say, 'oh, but not that reasonable chap alexander cockburn, he doesn't
fall for ANY of that k-k-k-konspiracy claptrap... he's the smart one...' (*snicker*)
allow me to deconstruct your current blindspot, let's take as an example, oh, geez, just at random... hmmm, what might be a fit analogy, hmmm, i don't know... um, uh, oh, okay, how about this one: the worldwide illegal drug trade and the intersection of state,
shadow-state, and criminal interests...
...just as a random example...
let's say you had investigative journalists who get onto this hot, juicy story of international intrigue, spooky connections, military complicity, seemingly perverse gummint policies and actions, and criminal families of all sizes, colors, and alleigencies (sp?)... (cool, sounds like a spy thriller ! ! ! )
bear in mind, these journos had to rely on 100% k-k-k-konspiracy konnections and circumstantial evidence to present their case in regards to the shadowy nexus of domestic/foreign mil/ex-mil, spook/ex-spook, and plain gun-running, drug-dealing, death-defying crooks of various strata... (wowie zowie! exciting stuff, tell me more...)
nope, not a single confession from any of the alleged kingpins, spooks, and other major players; no airplanes of illegal drugs; no videos, no nothing along the lines of physical evidence... 100%
testimony/k-k-k-konspiracy based... *usually* coming from the mouths of known scumbag/informant/drug dealters... (hmmm, something is tickling at the back of my brainstem... hmmm)
unfortunately, such a story -even if metaphysically true- is thin on evidence, and based solely on suppositions and assumptions about circumstantial connections... total hearsay, you say... (gosh, this is sounding kind of familiar...)
now, if such reporting did exist, *AND* it was -more or less- a true account of the whole sordid bidness, would the korporate-controlled media and functionairies of 'the octopus' (for lack...) be anxiously following up on these charges, or would they ignore, ridicule, and lie about the investigative work, and piously pass on the approved mainstream memes ? ? ? (heh, wait a minute...)
would the gummint agencies, military, etc, personnel involved be forthcoming and honest in their appraisals (if any) concerning theseserious illegal drug traffiicking charges and their activities
connected to it ? ? ? (uh, this is patently unfair...)
...or would they use their power/influence to deflect, silence, counterattack, and otherwise neutralize the horrific truths they want repressed ? ? ?
(wait, Wait, WAIT, you can't seriously compare the two, they are completely different... and you're a nutjob traitor...)
uh huh...
here, i quote a man ( Eric Harrington of ojai, ca) who was responding to similar nine one one deniers, and included this paragraph to make the overwhelming point about the 'collapse' of the wtc structures:
"But more important than the issue of the likelihood of the steel failure, is the FACT (not conjecture) that ALL THREE buildings collapsed into their own footprint at FREEFALL SPEED (i.e. the unimpeded acceleration of gravity). That means, drop a rock off the roof, at the moment of collapse, and the roof would hit the ground at the same time as the rock. This implies, (regardless of what happened at the fire zone) that the when the top section of the building began to fall it managed to plow through 70-80 odd floors of pristine and undamaged steel -- literally thousands of huge beams and concrete pads-- with absolutely NO RESISTANCE (i.e.. slowing of the rate of
fall) WHATSOEVER. And this sir, is physically impossible and verging on the absurd, and I (a physicist), and anyone with a shred of knowledge of engineering, physics, or just plain common sense can
understand that."
(man, i love his CAPS, hhh)
that, Sir Douchebag of Freedom, fairly summarizes a salient and telling point regarding the 'collapse' of wtc's 1,2 & 7; just ONE of the most
obvious 'mysteries' of nine one one... none so fucking blind, alex...
of course, while my mad rantings were fit enough to publish as somehow representative of nine one one skeptics, you didn't deign to respond to the one psuedo point YOU -and others- make regarding how 'the
gummint' (you know, that monolithic thingie in washingtoon) is so-o-o-o incredibly incompetent, slow, bumbling, and ineffectual... how The They (tm) could *NEVER* pull off such a sophisticated plan, blah blah blah... ? ? ?
this is plainly insane on the face of it, and DOUBLY insane when juxtaposed with the complement: a couple handful of educated-to-primitive ragheads in a cave in bumfuk *ARE* more super-competent than ANY AND ALL COMBINATIONS of the cabal's players plucked from the gummint, military, spooks, insiders, privateers, and
black kontractors put together ? ! ? ! ? ! ...really ? ? ?
no...
c'mon, really...
are you REALLY going to put this forth as a RATIONAL argument, much less a cogent one ? ? ?
are you REALLY going to maintain that *of course* gummint officials, complicit actors, and corrupt law enforcement will lie, cheat, steal, destroy evidence, drug-deal, murder, coverup, and otherwise prevent
harsh truths from being revealed when it comes to the illegal drug trade; but -you know, they're just moral like this- The They (tm) wouldn't DARE lie, cheat, steal, murder, coverup, etc to prevent harsh truths from being revealed when it comes to their -presumed-
guilt/complicity in nine one one...
they just dasn't ! ! !
your ultra-cynical, blase attitude towards the real possibility of the most heinous traitorous acts of the history of this planet is quite maddening; even if YOU don't see what is in front of your uncomprehending face, you should at least be able understand the
justifiable rage of those who -however wrongheaded- believe that corrupt, arrogant, illegitimate, monstrous power-mongers perpetrated the krime of the milennium...
but somehow, you have no trouble at all swallowing bizarre, unique-in-his-story, gummint-approved k-k-k-konspiracies regarding exploding steel and concrete exposed to moderate/low fire for a brief time...
wowie zowie ! ! ! how gullible can some k-k-k-konspiracy nutjobs be who believe *that* little fairy tale... hee hee hee
not to mention, a parallel universe full of unsubstantiated, undocumented, and unreal k-k-k-konspiracies (can this cockburn guy *get* any more nuttierjobbier ? ) involving mulitple building trades,
contractors, engineers, architects, etc -literally tens of thousands of people- defrauding contracts and practicing grossly unsafe construction practices... which were either completely unnoticed by all the sampling engineers, testing labs, inspectors, port authority, and state officials, or were massively counterfeited in all the extant documentation of lab tests and inspections... wowie zowie ! ! !
you'd think if Professor (Emeritus) of Statics and Strength of Materials Alexander Cockburn P.E., *really* believed it was merely ordinary mob-graft, substandard materials, shoddy workmanship, and
derelict inspections, etc, that ultimately brought down the towers (AND 7), that he'd be in front of a grand jury in new york, new york, showing them all the EVIDENCE he has for his Fucking Nutjob Theory of
Building Collapses, 'explaining' how/why wtc 1,2 - AND unlucky 7- exploded into a neat pile on themselves...
i mean, CERTAINLY you're concerned EVERY FUCKING SKYSCRAPER in new york, new york (and presumably, on the planet) is susceptible to, oh, you know, a model airplane flying into it (not that anyone could
imagine such a thing), or maybe just a strong wind; given how laughably weak, deteriorated, and EXPLOSIVE most of the highrise buildings must be, assuming der gut herr Professor's Fucking Nutjob Theory of Building Collapses is weally, twuly twue... *wish*wish*wish*
yet another column phoned in, *and* a triple
dipper ? ? ? ('yeah, i called this guy i know, and he is -like- wa-a-a-y smarter than any k-k-k-konspiracy nutjobs -works for PopMech- so i got the straight skinny on that bullshit, fuckin' idiots... took me a whole 15 minutes to dubunk those nine one one nutjobs...')
not to mention, the 'column' was basically written by yours truly for no remuneration (with fewer than your normal contribution's, um, let's say typos, hhh)...
the one upside to my postjacked email, was i got to see appropriately profane language in counterpunch, instead of the normal bloodless, chickenshit prose...
how are we going to have a revolution without cursing ? ? ?
hee hee hee

....Well, America, I want other closeted staffers questioned. I want all entities investigating this matter to look at every other closeted staffer who may have contributed to this national disgrace.
So.... Beginning Monday, and every weekday thereafter, I will be identifying the name of a closeted senior staffer in Congress with the hopes that those investigating this matter will make sure to include them in their questioning. And I hope the press looks for them as well. It's time to rid the government of those that would harm us.
I will also highlight a past case from the site's history. I will ask you all to join me in sending emails to the ethics committee and media about these staffers who are putting the very stability of our government at risk.
Some have said this is a purge of gays from the government. No my friends, this is NOT about gays. To suggest that there will be a purge of gays from the government is preposterous. Now, if you want to talk about a purge of anti-gay closet cases facilitating the hard Right's agenda... I say purge away....

Prior to 9/11, I was painfully naïve. I had never heard of operation Ajax, Operation Gladio, or Operation Northwoods. I knew nothing of the cover up surrounding the attack on the USS Liberty; I knew nothing of the Gulf of Tonkin deception or the "surprise attack" on Pearl Harbor. I'd never heard of "false flag" operations, and I sure as Hell would have never believed "my government" would coordinate and participate in terrorist attacks against civilian targets. Sadly, I now know otherwise.
Today, I fully understand the danger of believing "our government" would never do such a thing. While it's true "our government" as a whole would not, those in the highest positions of power (with motive, means, and opportunity) would...and have. -Those who continue to insist otherwise are either ignorant (as I once was) or simply lying.
