The Explosion of the 9-11 Truth Movement
The Explosion of the 9-11 Truth Movement -- U.S. Media's Dirty Little Secret

by Bill Douglas, Co-Founder - "National 911Visibility.org"

A mass movement and a mountain of disturbing evidence has been growing beneath the radar of U.S. media. The U.S. media (including alternative media) has done an extraordinarily superhuman job of "hearing" "seeing" and "speaking no evil." However, almost immediately after 9-11-2001's horrendous attacks on New York and Washington D.C., many researchers, ordinary citizens, and journalists began to smell something rotten . . . not in Denmark . . . but rather, right here in the good ol' US of A.

This movement's early roots began when many people scratched their heads in wonder at "how 4 commercial jet liners could fly hijacked for nearly an hour and a half the morning of 9-11, without any Air Force fighter interceptor jets turning a wheel until it was too late," as stated by acclaimed Canadian TV journalist, Barry Zwicker. Zwicker's powerful documentary "The Great Deception," which suggests top Bush Admin. officials were likely complicit in the 9-11 attacks, aired on Canada's Vision TV network which is viewed by millions of Canadians. Unfortunately Americans in the U.S. have been "protected" from viewing this critical documentary.

Researchers, like Zwicker and others, quickly learned that in 2001 before the 9-11 attacks 62 aircraft had been intercepted by Air Force fighter interceptor jets, and usually within 10 to 15 minutes of going off course. <http://septembereleventh.org/airdefense.php>

21. I'd like to see Paul Wellstone's "accidental" death probed
further as well. Don't forget that he was the ONLY one pushing for an independent investigation immediately following 9/11. I had to go to a psychologist to help me get my anger under control after the media made a mockery of his tribute at the University of Minnesota.

Don't underestimate those ruthless bastards. They are the scum of the scum, and if I didn't have the ideals that I have, I would have armed myself and gone after them personally.

But, the tides are beginning to turn as they always do, and I am finally beginning to feel sane again.

They are going down!!!!!

2. Great article, New
I remember on the morning of Sept. 11, as all of us were absorbing the horror of the attacks, my supervisor, a well educated and brainy individual, turned to me and said,"You know what I'm afraid of? I'm afraid Bush planned this to distract us from the economy!" This came from one of the most grounded and logical people I know.
I am trying to remember when the president first addressed the country after the attacks. Wasn't it from a bunker in Nebraska somewhere? I would love to see a replay of that deer in the headlight, hiding in a hole presidential moment. Because he looked so shaken, I shook off my concerns that he knew anything about the attacks prior to 9/11. However, I wonder now if he looked like that because he was starting to understand the horrific impact of his actions and/or inactions.MKJ

13. Or he was shaken because he knew he couldn't get
those millions that had been shorted on American Airlines and
United!  I haven't heard another word about that money and who
ever came to claim it.  Has anyone else?

3. Thanks for the article. I'm a 'senior' citizen and for the first time
in my life, I'm believing more and more of this 'conspiracy' theory.

9. unfortunately, welcome to the club...
...one thing IS for certain: we, the citizens of this country have not been told the truth about 9/11, and various factions do not want us to know the truth about 9/11.

4. Wow
Great article... I only hope that the 'movement' continues to gain both people and momentum, and that eventually we can really get to the truth of what happened. For now, I'll keep my fingers crossed on that one...

5. Canadian program
the Zwicker "Great Deception" documentary was Canada's Vision TV Network, not the CBC. It has about 1,000,000 Canadian viewers I've been told. It aired a couple years ago, but the video is for sale from Vision TV. There's a link to it at www.911visibility.org

8. another excerpt...
(emphasis mine)

"Other stories from foreign press began to be read by a growing number of Americans who realized quickly that they had to read foreign press to get to the ugly facts around 9-11. A conservative French newspaper, La Figaro, reported an incredible fact, that the CIA station chief in Dubai had met with Osama Bin Laden weeks before the 9-11 attacks as Osama was being treated at a U.S. Army hospital in Dubai. Yet, even though Osama was on the CIA most wanted list, the CIA station chief did not only NOT arrest him, but met with him and then reportedly went back to the U.S. for high level meetings in Washington following his meeting with Osama. Even more bizarrely alarming facts surfaced such as the article in a prominent Indian newspaper reporting that the hijacker mastermind of 9-11, Mohammed Atta, had been wired $100,000.00 by the head of Pakistani Intelligence weeks before 9-11, who oddly enough was in Washington meeting with top Bush Admin. officials ON 9-11-2001."

12. The truth is out there...
None of the 'official' explanation about the events of that day matches the physics of what happened. There are hundreds of pages that go into great detail about the physics and chemistry of that event, pointing out that it simply does not match up.

I can only hope this continues to gain in momentum.

14. Here's some truth
Courthourse @ 3rd & Constitution Ave NW, Washington DC


An email from Sibel Edmonds:

For over two years Attorney General John Ashcroft has
been relentlessly engaged in covering up my reports and
investigations into my allegations. He has asserted the
rarely invoked State Secret Privilege in my court
proceedings, and has used it to quash a subpoena
request for my deposition from attorneys representing
9/11 family members on information regarding 9/11.

Ashcroft is not protecting 'national security' or
'state secrets' of the United States. On the contrary,
he is endangering our national security by covering up
facts and information related to criminal and terrorist
activities against this country and it's citizens.
Ashcroft is fully aware that making this information
public will bring about the question of accountability,
will expose serious criminal activities, and his
complicity in covering up.

On Monday, June 14, 2004, at 10:00 AM, Judge Reggie
Walton is expected to issue his ruling on the state
secret privilege assertion by AG Ashcroft, which is
intended to gag me. The hearing will be held in US
District Court for the District of Columbia, located at
3rd and Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC, Judge
Walton's courtroom. Please attend if you can, since by
your presence both the court and Ashcroft will
understand that this attempt to cover up will not go
unnoticed.

I will be there, in front of the Court's Constitution
Avenue entrance, at 9:30 AM, and will be joined by
Daniel Ellsberg to make press statements and to meet
with all of you.

DC Court with map

Hope to see you there,
Sibel D. Edmonds

15. I have a question.....how can the media continue to ignore................
The article was very interesting, I had heard some of these ideas in a book I was reading. I just have one question. Does anyone know why the media is continuing to ignore these issues and others? In the last few days I have read so many shocking facts about Bush, his family, the 2000 election, 9/11.....and on and on. All of which have been "out-there" for some time. I am dumbfounded that with all the 24 hour news shows that none of this information is getting out. Can someone please tell me WHY?????

16. It's simple
When the media is owned and controlled by essentially six mega-conglomerates, run by six conservative megalomaniacs, you don't report bad news about your "operatives" in the White House and government that might end up in them losing power.

Remember, two years ago the FCC wanted to roll back ownership rules so that these six could increase their media hegemony. That rollback was payment for backing Bush and his agenda. Shit, just look at how much CNN has migrated to the Patriotic Right since 9/11. I mean Fox and MSNBC are basically just the Ministries of Information, but CNN had...for a time...a modicum of edge. NYT too. But now, they're all bought and paid for.

I watch Newsworld International. It's a global news program for Americans that is produced by the CBC and it is the only place where I find actual NEWS reporting, instead of entertainment posing as news. Their reporters have access to all the world's hotspots because the bulk are Canadian, not American, and so they don't fear getting killed just for being there. I strongly recommend everyone try to get this channel on their cable systems.

18. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer this question.
I have only recently become aware of how bad this FCC rule has been affecting CNN and MSNBC.....up until recently I thought I was getting truly informed. Now that I have been reading THE NATION, and other books, and getting on some of these WEB sites, I'm finding out how little I have really known. This really explains to me why so many people still support Bush. Is anything being done to try and fix this problem?

Thanks again for taking the time to answer my question. Is this Newsworld International a channel anyone can get??? Or, do I just need to read the reports from their web site?

23. "Orwell Rolls in his Grave"
Written, Directed, and Edited by Robert Kane Pappas.

You can order it through Buzzflash, which somehow led me to this website a few days ago, or through www.orwellrollsinhisgrave.com.

I just got my copy less than a week ago and it's HOT...all about the media, who owns it, and how they are manipulating the American public. I've been pushing it on my non-reading, television-drunk acquaintences, and I'm getting ready to start burning copies and giving them away.

I can't wait til the end of the month when Farenheit 9/11 hits the box offices.

The Bush cartel is going DOWN.
