911 and the Society of the Spectacle

Loughrey argues the progressive community is unknowingly trapped in a matrix.

Imagine that elite policy makers of a foreign country conceived of a
monstrous plan that included a movie within a movie. The cast of
the larger movie is comprised of a large collection of carefully
chosen intelligence assets who pose as journalists. For decades
these actors build up a huge following and earn enormous admiration
from the educated masses by fearlessly breaking crucial stories and
serving up cutting-edge commentary.



Note the policy makers have not just simply infiltrated the establishment media. They
have actually created a phony opposition to it as well.
News stories are
planted that test whether the progressive public can figure out that the
alternative media it relies upon is a charade. After the progressive
community fails each test the policy planners conclude that the world is
ready for the most spectacular hoax ever perpetuated on television.



Does this resemble Guy Debord’s
target="_new">Society and the Spectacle? On September 11, 2001,
millions of people around the US, hearing that a pilot had crashed his plane
into the World Trade Center, turned on their TVs and saw black smoke
leaving a gaping hole in the North Tower. As the cameras lingered over
the scene many people wondered “where is the plane?” Seventeen minutes
later (09:03 a.m.) the monstrous illusion of a commercial jet was shown
on TV striking the South Tower. Fifty-six minutes later (09:59 a.m.) the
South Tower suspiciously collapsed in its footprint. Twenty-nine minutes
afterwards (10:28 a.m.) the North Tower also mysteriously collapsed.



Throughout the day of 9/11/01 the news media repeatedly showed video clips of
“Flight 175” striking the South Tower to a horrified public. Then the video
imagery disappeared from the nation’s airwaves. It has seldom been
aired since.



That’s because this 911 video was fake. There were no commercial jets
which crashed into the World Trade Center. The planners who conceived of
911 knew that jet fuel (i.e., refined kerosene) could not possibly
melt the steel towers—and certainly couldn’t deform the steel to cause
it to collapse in the path of most resistance; i.e., straight down. Yet,
they also needed a large television audience to SEE these planes striking
the towers before the towers demolished. This would indoctrinate the
general public into believing that the planes caused the destruction of
the towers. Because 911 also included a fictional attack on the Pentagon,
a shoot-down of a civilian aircraft (UA 93),
target="_new">phony cell phone calls from
heroic passengers and another tall steel building (WTC 7)
target="_new">suddenly collapsing in its footprint this was too much information for most
people to handle. Millions of people (still)
target="_new">want to believe the
ludicrous official story of 911 so badly that they are willing to
accept whatever scientific and logical contradictions are necessary
to do so.



The bogus “opposition media” plays a crucial component in this indoctrination. While
9/11 is still fresh in the minds of many it is child’s play to keep
prominent researchers from the citizen’s truth movement from being
heard. (After all, many of these figures are also infiltrators who
deliberately come off as target="_new">whack jobs to discredit the movement.) In addition, the
phony opposition media has little difficulty encouraging activists to protest
in large numbers as was done in the 1960s and 1970s. Thus, the masses are
misled into dissipating its enormous energy on large public protests that
accomplish very little and actually reinforce the phony opposition media so
crucial to the Coup’s plans. The activists who claim that exposing 911 is
not relevant as protesting the awful events which followed it are actually
reinforcing the matrix that binds us all.




Flight 175



#file_1#




Close your eyes and imagine a largely aluminum plane striking a steel
building at 450 mph. Imagine the noise the impact makes. Watch the
wings break off. Then see the fuselage crumple and quickly become a
shower of target="_new">metallic confetti.



Recall that in the video that was screened on 9/11 there are
target="_new">no pieces of
Flight 175 breaking off when impacting the South Tower. The fuselage
somehow remains intact. In addition,
target="_new">no one records any impact sound. Also,
there are eyewitnesses in New York City who to this day insist that no
commercial jet struck the South Tower. They are being ignored.





Flight 11



Naudet_FirstHit_001.jpg





The only known video clip of “Flight 11” striking the North Tower was filmed
by the Naudet Brothers, who claim to have been coincidentally videotaping a
target="_new">documentary about a torpid firefighter named Tony at the same time.



Jules Naudet is credited with the
target="_new">sensational pan left which tracked Flight 11
as it struck the North Tower. The foreground object, a large building, is
largely in focus as the camera rapidly pans left. The World Trade Center,
seen in extreme long shot, is more or less in focus as Flight 11 strikes the
North Tower. Only the plane remains out of focus. It makes absolutely no
sense that Flight 11 would be out of focus as we see it collide
with the North Tower.



While individual frames of this video clip can certainly be blurry Flight 11
should target="_new">not be blurry as it moves on the screen. This is because it is being
projected at 18 frames per second (or more). At this rate the human brain
begins to be fooled into thinking that animated objects are actually in motion. Without
this capacity for the brain to be fooled there could be no cinema.



Someone else appears to have noticed this discrepancy. This could be why the
Power Hour has come out with a
target="_new">new, more optically sensible version of this
video clip which tens of millions of people have seen! (It appears in
their “director’s cut” version of
target="_new">911: In Plane Site.)



The anti-war movement is well advised to expose as fraudulent the blurry and
buttery planes of 9/11 which were part of the cruelest hoax in
cinematic history. It can only become victorious in its struggle when
enough people fully comprehend the true nature of the progressive media that
is currently admired with great esteem.
