First off fox, this is the media that all you sheeple listen too, corporate media that's not free and open news. it's a business(corporation) and what is the purpose of businesses, to make money!. The reason people are turning to media such as youtube, wikileaks and others is that they're free to show what mainstream won't show. The truth.
Now seems strange that people who consider themslves well educated would resort to name calling and insults. I must of hit a nerve. Now you can continue to attack me and hide from the facts but it won't fix our country. The fact is that dems and reps should be responsible for what your party does, specially if you sit on here defending their actions. So you can continue to believe these people who lead America down this path will change and fix the economy, bring the manufacturing back, stop the spending and expanding the government and return our lost freedoms. I on the other hand am convinced these people will continue marching down the same path.
Now here is both John F. Kenndy's and Dwight D. Eisenhower's warning speeches. they are round three months apart. JFK april 27, 1961 from the John F. Kennedy library and museum. Dwight D. Eisenhower january 17, 1961 from American rhetoric top hundred speeches. these are written verisons with audio. notice we have a democrat and a republican warning the American people. What are they warnings us about??? Or you can continue to listen to rush and o'reilly and hope that things will somehow change.
About me not been part of the solution. well yeah I was duped into believing that my government was still a free and open system, but I have seen the big picture and the effects of not getting involved. STOP VOTING PARTY LINES AND DEFEND YOUR COUNTRY!!!!
A. The Media
"The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media." - Former CIA Director William Colby
Defenders of the 'official story' argue all the time that if the 'conspiracy theory' I allude to in this paper was true, some intrepid reporter in the media would have caught wind of some aspect of the story, and blown the whole thing wide open. I will ignore for the moment the fact that there are independent reporters all over the world who have done exactly this, and assume that most people are speaking of the 'mainstream media' in the U.S. and its reporters. But the simple answer to this query is that 'mainstream media' is now Big Business, and as such, it has no vested interest in telling the story. It is part of a bigger system that is wholly invested in the official myth of 9/11. Like any system that lasts, it has built-in safety nets and mechanisms - not only to shape the behavior of people participating in its existing network, but also to readily expel any serious challenges to its basic structure. In case you are wary of this analysis, think of Joseph Wilson and Valerie Plame as one example. Write an article too critical of the Bush Administration, have your CIA operative wife outed by the Vice President. Who in the 'mainstream media' is going to take on a subject as epic as 9/11 if well-documented lies told by the leaders of our country to drag us into an illegal war cannot even be reported without harsh payback? The truth about 9/11 is too significant a challenge to the basic systematic structure of the society the 'mainstream media' participates in and benefits from. Bringing out this hard truth is not yet an acceptable possibility.
Think on it. For individual reporters, newspapers and broadcast stations alike to sell their 'product', they know they need ready access to the highest, most important levels of society and government. A government and a society they are supposedly watching over and reporting on. But the way the system works now, if you challenge the structure of the system too much, your access to its intricate workings will quickly get pulled, and you will quickly be shut out and ostracized. Snuffing out your ability to do the job you set out originally to do. The system supports itself in this way without anyone having to pull any devious strings. It is endemic to its very structure. The Valerie Plame example is but one revealing the harsh reality of how things now work. So who the hell in their right mind would want all the trouble? The media, well aware of the practical reality of this system, censors itself unconsciously, simply to avoid the bullying and recompense that will undermine their ability to make a living and feed their families.
In this way, the mass media has made itself dependent on 'official sources'. And what do we expect official sources to tell us about topics involving their own interests? In the case of 9/11, the official narrative has simply been repeated ad nauseam, over and over and over until the story, whether factual or not, has become self-evident simply through the process of repetition. Take the Iraq War and the question of Weapons of Mass Destruction as a proven example of this formula. How did we, and the self-styled 'kings' of the intrepid media like Tom Friedman of the NY Times, get duped into the Iraq War and the story of WMDs? Because the media no longer reports on facts. They repeat stories given to them by 'official sources' and report on what is said about facts.
In times past, the WMD story would have been written something like this: 'The Bush Administration has reported that Iraq is not only aggressively pursuing a WMD program, but this program is weeks away from completion and might very well result in an imminent mushroom cloud rising over New York or Washington or Tel Aviv. But the Bush Administration is full of crap, and here are the facts as to how and why.' Now, the media hides behind a veil of 'un-bias', claiming to give equal time and print to 'both' sides of a story (presumably Republican and Democrat), even if one side of the story is wholly without merit. This was never the intended function of the media. In an actual democracy, the media is not supposed to report stated facts, they are supposed to report on the validity and truth of those stated facts.
As a result of this changed atmosphere, elite members of society holding positions of power can now easily spin their tale of interest through sophisticated, well-planned public relations statements, press releases, talk show sound bite tours, fund raising dinners, whisper campaigns, exclusive 'leaks', meaningful winks, etc. Until you end up with the Orwellian circus we now have where Clear Sky Initiatives are certain to foul the air, and 'slam dunk' intelligence reports given by CIA Directors and repeated by respected Secretaries of State in front of U.N. General Assemblies are sure to be filled with gross errors, falsified information, manipulated intelligence, and flat-out lies that have resulted in the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of thousands innocent Iraqi (and American) men, women, and children.
And almost ALL of what people know about 9/11 has been fed and filtered through this broken system. All of the media reports about 9/11, about the official investigations, the facts, the studies, etc., have come from well-planned, sophisticated, carefully worded official source material. Creating the present reality where the popularly understood narrative of 9/11 has come from the mouths of, and information provided by, the very people who have such a vested interest in keeping the actual truth from coming out. Look at the amount of information I have covered in this paper. Surely some of it is worth writing about and investigating. So why hasn't anyone in the 'mainstream media' even touched it? Because no official source in their right mind would step into this maelstrom. And no reporter will step in either without the backing of the now obligatory 'official source'. And so we are left with unquestioned investigations that a leading NYC fire official called 'a half-baked farce', and reports that one eminent scholar said 'reads like a 585-page cartoon'. Below is a list of the officially sanctioned source material that people in the media, and in the general public, so often cite, and the fatal problems endemic to each.
