911 Truth for the Lying Mainstream Media

Diary Entry by CasaZaza (about the author)

This article is a response to a local newspaper columnist who very ignorantly tries to vilify anybody speaking about 911 truth.

::::::::

The following article was written by an articulate author named Guy Selzler here in Victoria BC Canada. He responds to a local newspaper columnist named Lorne Gunter - who very ignorantly tries to vilify anybody speaking about 911 truth.

Along with the cogent reasoning presented, I would draw your attention to the links at the bottom of this article.

--------------------------

Lorne,

I have recently read your article "Be wary of those who say 9/11 was a fake". I can't quite decide if you are simply uninformed or acting as a propagandist for the establishment.

For anyone with the curiosity to actually investigate the events of 9/11 for themselves and draw their own conclusions, which we should all do as concerned citizens, your attack on the 9/11 truth movement appears ridiculous.

There are now hundreds of groups of citizens questioning the official story of 9/11. These include architects, engineers, physicists, pilots, firefighters, ex-military, ex-intelligence officers, former heads of state, police officers, and victims family members.

Your attempt to paint truthers with the anti-semetic brush is very telling since most of the information presented along those lines is for the most part provided by the government under their COINTELPRO (counter intelligence propaganda) programs. Even the authors of the 9/11 Commission Report have admitted they were blocked from interviewing key witnesses and hamstrung by the government at every turn (maybe they can smell the wind).

Your arguments are emotional rather than rational. They are not based on facts but merely emotive responses designed to blind naive readers and instill fear of social disapproval if they should speak about their personal opinions. As such they have no place in an open society.

If you are worthy of being called an honest journalist, you would examine the evidence presented by architect Richard Gage, professor of philosophy and religion David Ray Griffin, physicist Steven E. Jones, PhD and many others before coming to any conclusions.

Your attempts at discrediting the truth will fail and only hasten the demise of the credibility of the mainstream media. You seem to be engaged in a battle based on the old paradigm where information could be tightly controlled. The paradigm has shifted and you are doomed to lose the battle. The move away from mainstream media towards alternative media is growing exponentially as a result. You've already lost the battle and don't seem to know it yet.

The people (or the profane/sheep/cattle as the elite like to call us) are waking up from the lies and propaganda produced by the establishment (more accurately, the scientific dictatorship in which most people have been indoctrinated into) and your attempts to discredit the truth and stifle dissent will only serve to cause more people to wake up more quickly. So keep it up and if down the road when you, and your fellow press members, find yourself on trial as paid propagandists and disinformation agents, remember that you had every opportunity to present a fair, rational and balanced representation of the facts and chose otherwise.

You see, government sponsored terror is nothing new in history and has been used over and over again to stampede the public into participating in events they would otherwise object. We know from declassified documents that the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, used to justify the Vietnam war, was a fabrication - it never happened. We know from declassified documents that the attack on the USS Liberty was staged by the US and Isreal in a failed attempt to justify US involvement in Egypt. We know from admissions by the former Prime Minister of Italy that the CIA, in operation Gladio, deliberately bombed busloads of women and children to justify anti-communist action in that country. We know from declassified documents that the Operation Northwoods was a plan (never approved) to blow up an airliner to be blamed on Cuba to justify an invasion of that country. Government sponsored terror is the norm rather than the exception.

But unlike the elite of this world, we are not without compassion. Should you choose to properly investigate and report your findings, we would be happy to forgive you for your previous uninformed opinions. If you wish to investigate, I have provided a series of links that will require time and effort on your part but will inevitably lead you to at least some of the truth surrounding the events of 9/11.

As an addendum, I leave you with a couple of quotes from history that very much applies to the present circumstances in which we live:

"He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security." - Benjamin Franklin

"All Truth Goes Through Three Stages. First, it is ridiculed. Then, it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident." - Arthur Schopenhauer

All the best, and it is my sincerest hope you might break through your indoctrination to question in a more honest, open and rational manner than which we have been conditioned to be accept as truth.

And lest we forget what George Orwell said,

"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."

Sadly, we are living in such times and it is necessary for the few informed and courageous individuals that will stand up for truth in our society to speak out so that others with similar opinions might express them freely without threat of reprisal, and we might all benefit from the realization that the world with which we are presented is not as we are told and we might adjust our course as a society as such.

Sincerely,

Guy Selzler
