The Military Industrial Complex and 911 Truth: Understanding the History Channel Hit Piece
by Jack Blood
It wasn’t so much what they said, but what they didn’t say.
On August 20th 2007 a “Program” aired on GE’s History Channel titled 9/11 Conspiracies – Fact or Fiction. Word had already leaked out that this was a laughable hit piece centered around Popular Mechanics. (Hearst Publishing – synonymous with Yellow Journalism, and already guilty of using the tragedy of the USS Maine to inflame patriotism to wage a war with Spain in 1898, the same Hearst Publishing who holds a controlling stake in the History Channel via its stake in the A & E Television Network.)
Having watched many a History Channel Documentary I am quite familiar with their format. Raise the charges, er… “conspiracies” – then give the shills, er… “experts” the final say poo pooing the evidence and theories. Case closed. (Posner reference intended)
Before debunking the “debunkers” we should look at the positives, and being the eternal optimist I can always find something positive in almost every situation. Take 911 for example. Without it many of us would still be asleep and plugged firmly into the Matrix. Without discovering 911 as a fear based mind control program many of us would still be unaware of the myriad of other programs running perpetually, such as Fiat currency, security for liberty, global government, social engineering, or weapons of mass distraction.
As the show opened I couldn’t help but say to myself that they are doing our work for us, as they showed much of the footage that speaks for itself. They ask some of the questions we have been pushing to be asked for 6 years, and they posted polls showing that the “movement” is monolithic, mammoth, and growing by the second. So all of this can be seen as a plus for the Freedom Movement (Maybe this is hard to comprehend for “truthers” who are generally leaders and not followers, but the average person takes their cues on what to believe by their environment, and what leaders are doing around them. If large numbers of the populace believe there was a cover up then its OK for them to buy it as well. And we are off. A new fad is born… Baaabaaaa baaa baa)
Many people were mentioned who had done exhaustive research on 911 – Webster Tarpley, Loose Change, David Ray Griffin, Alex Jones, 911 Mysteries: Sofia, Thierry Meyssan, and others… (They also used many people who are not as reliable.)
