    ********911: NEWS MEDIA HOAX********



"We Went to War over Cartoons (the Webfairy)"


"What do you think would happen if the world became aware that there were no hijacked planes that day, that two of the flights didn't exist, that the towers were attacked with secret technology, that the horrifying image which people saw on TV was just a movie, and that media also faked lists of passengers on the non existent flight which didn't hit the North tower, that a missile of some sort was fired into the pentagon and that fake videos and fake eyewitness reports were concocted to try to sell the story? (Gerard Holmgren)"


What really hit the South Tower of the WTC?

(will the "planes" that strike the WTC look more real in this movie than in the movies we saw on 9/11/01?)

*911: NEWS MEDIA*

Watch the pseudo-alternative media in action!

"9-11 Conspiracists Invade Ground Zero":
www.villagevoice.com/news/0537,fergusonweb2,67726,2.html

(think about the Village Voice's title. "Conspiracists invade"...sounds like a plague, pestilence, death. "Conspiracists" is a label with a definitively negative connotation. "invade Ground Zero" sounds like the conspiracists have no right to be there.)

(another amazing component of the dialogue is how "activist judges" are supposedly to be feared; yet that label accurately describes the current Supreme Court which discarded the Constitution to install George Bush into the White House in 2000. The maneuver is rightly called a "judicial coup d'etat" in legal circles.)




*CHURCH and STATE*

(when you hear this news item from the mainstream media notice how quickly they tell you this judgement is opposed by conservatives. NJS just listened to a news guy on the radio lead by saying, "In a decision that will be widely opposed by social conservatives around the country, a federal judge ruled that the Pledge was unconstitutional.")

www.wsws.org/articles/2005/sep2005/padi-s13.shtml

"...The sole basis for Padilla’s imprisonment is President Bush’s June 9, 2002 proclamation that he 'is, and at the time he entered the United States in May 2002 was, an enemy combatant.' No attempt has ever been made to actually prove this charge, and the category 'enemy combatant' itself is without precedent in domestic and international law..."

*HURRICANE KATRINA: FOX TV*

Fox TV airs program called "Oil Storm" which depicts, in documentary-style, the catastrophic destruction of New Orleans via runaway hurricane. In the film gas prices rise sharply and an economic upheaval takes place.
www.imdb.com/title/tt0461695/
www.walltowall.co.uk/projects/project.asp
www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/oilstorm/main.html

"...The premises of the television-movie were as follows:

1. A super hurricane strikes New Orleans and the Gulf oil installations.
2. Disorder erupts and martial law is declared. The area is evacuated.
3. Oil supply is disrupted catastrophically and prices rise astronomically
4. Economic chaos and depression result

How prescient – indeed clairvoyant – this major television event turned out to be.
And so close to the actual events themselves...(Lynn)"

Balzac and the little Chinese seamstress:
www.imdb.com/title/tt0291032/

(very strong and satisfying. 'Balzac' concerns repression, longing, stolen lives, stolen memories. Banned in China, 'Balzac' resonates very strongly in the West which is dramatically moving away from intellectual freedom.)
