Pentagon Papers Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg Says that the Government Has ORDERED the Media Not to Cover 9/11
It's big news that the Pentagon Papers have finally been released by the government.
But the statements from Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg about 9/11 have not been covered by the corporate media.
As Fire Dog Lake's Jeff Kaye writes today:
The
entire 9/11 field of inquiry has been vilified, poisoned over the
years by ridicule, sometimes fantastic conspiracy mongering, and
fearfulness by journalists of approaching the material, lest they be
branded as irresponsible or some kind of conspiracy freak. As a result,
little work has been done to investigate, except by a small group of
people, some of whom have raised some real questions ...
Similarly, Air Force Colonel and key Pentagon official Karen Kwiatkowski - who blew the whistle on the Bush administration's efforts to concoct false intelligence about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction - wrote (page 26):
I
have been told by reporters that they will not report their own
insights or contrary evaluations of the official 9/11 story, because to
question the government story about 9/11 is to question the very
foundations of our entire modern belief system regarding our government,
our country, and our way of life. To be charged with questioning
these foundations is far more serious than being labeled a disgruntled
conspiracy nut or anti-government traitor, or even being sidelined or
marginalized within an academic, government service, or literary
career. To question the official 9/11 story is simply and
fundamentally revolutionary. In this way, of course, questioning the
official story is also simply and fundamentally American.
Several months after 9/11, famed news anchor Dan Rather told the BBC that American reporters were practicing "a form of self-censorship":
There
was a time in South Africa that people would put flaming tires around
peoples' necks if they dissented. And in some ways the fear is that
you will be necklaced here, you will have a flaming tire of lack of
patriotism put around your neck. Now it is that fear that keeps
journalists from asking the toughest of the tough questions.... And
again, I am humbled to say, I do not except myself from this criticism.
What we are talking about here - whether one wants to recognise it
or not, or call it by its proper name or not - is a form of
self-censorship.
The head of CNN agreed:
Keith Olbermann said:
You
can rock the boat, but you can never say that the entire ocean is in
trouble .... You cannot say: By the way, there's something wrong with
our .... system.
Former Washington Post - and now Huffington Post - columnist Dan Froomkin wrote in 2006:
Mainstream-media
political journalism is in danger of becoming increasingly
irrelevant, but not because of the Internet, or even Comedy Central.
The threat comes from inside. It comes from journalists being afraid
to do what journalists were put on this green earth to do. . . .
There’s
the intense pressure to maintain access to insider sources, even as
those sources become ridiculously unrevealing and oversensitive.
There’s the fear of being labeled partisan if one’s bullshit-calling
isn’t meted out in precisely equal increments along the political
spectrum.
If mainstream-media political journalists don’t
start calling bullshit more often, then we do risk losing our primacy —
if not to the comedians then to the bloggers.
I still believe
that no one is fundamentally more capable of first-rate
bullshit-calling than a well-informed beat reporter - whatever their
beat. We just need to get the editors, or the corporate culture, or
the self-censorship – or whatever it is – out of the way.
The
Pulitzer prize-winning reporter who uncovered the Iraq prison torture
scandal and the Mai Lai massacre in Vietnam, Seymour Hersh, said:
"All
of the institutions we thought would protect us -- particularly the
press, but also the military, the bureaucracy, the Congress -- they
have failed. The courts . . . the jury's not in yet on the courts. So
all the things that we expect would normally carry us through didn't.
The biggest failure, I would argue, is the press, because that's the
most glaring....
Q: What can be done to fix the (media) situation?
[Long
pause] You'd have to fire or execute ninety percent of the editors
and executives. You'd actually have to start promoting people from the
newsrooms to be editors who you didn't think you could control. And
they're not going to do that."
Veteran reporter Bill Moyers criticized
the corporate media for parroting the obviously false link between
9/11 and Iraq (and the false claims that Iraq possessed WMDs) which the
administration made in the run up to the Iraq war, and concluded that
the false information was not challenged because:
"the
[mainstream] media had been cheerleaders for the White House from the
beginning and were simply continuing to rally the public behind the
President — no questions asked."
Of course, the corporate media is always pro-war.
Since 9/11 provided a justification for the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq,
Yemen and elsewhere, the mainstream media doesn't want to question the
government's version of events.
As Tom Brokaw notes:
All wars are based on propaganda.
What Does Ellsberg Say?
Ellsberg says that the government has ordered the media not to cover 9/11:
Ellsberg seemed hardly surprised
that today's American mainstream broadcast media has so far failed
to take [former FBI translator and 9/11 whistleblower Sibel] Edmonds
up on her offer, despite the blockbuster nature of her allegations
[which Ellsberg calls "far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers"].
As Edmonds has also alluded, Ellsberg pointed to the New York
Times, who "sat on the NSA spying story for over a year" when they
"could have put it out before the 2004 election, which might have
changed the outcome."
"There
will be phone calls going out to the media saying 'don't even think of
touching it, you will be prosecuted for violating national security,'" he told us.
* * *
"I am confident that there is conversation inside the Government as to 'How do we deal with Sibel?'" contends Ellsberg. "The
first line of defense is to ensure that she doesn't get into the
media. I think any outlet that thought of using her materials would go
to to the government and they would be told 'don't touch this . . . .'"
He supports a new 9/11 investigation.
He says that the case of a certain 9/11 whistleblower is "far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers". (Here's some of what that whistleblower says.) He also said that the government is ordering the media to cover up her allegations about 9/11.
And
he says that some of the claims concerning government involvement
in 9/11 are credible, that "very serious questions have been raised
about what they [U.S. government officials] knew beforehand and how
much involvement there might have been", that engineering 9/11 would
not be humanly or psychologically beyond the scope of those in
office, and that there's enough evidence to justify a new,
"hard-hitting" investigation into 9/11 with subpoenas and testimony
taken under oath (see this and this).
Alternative Media Is Not Much Better
It is not just the corporate media.
I
have had the owners of highly-regarded alternative media companies
confide in me privately that they don't believe the government's version
of 9/11, but that are scared of discussing it publicly because they
don't want to be tarred-and-feathered for discussing "conspiracy
theories".
Even writers like Glenn Greenwald - who are good on so many issues - won't touch it.
Of course - as Ellsberg points out - "Secrets ... can be kept reliably ... for decades … even though they are known to thousands of insiders”. Indeed, the whole label "conspiracy theory" is just an attempt to diffuse criticism of the powerful.
People used to understand this. As the quintessential American writer Mark Twain said in a more rational age:
A conspiracy is nothing but a secret agreement of a number of men for
the pursuance of policies which they dare not admit in public.
Of
course, as thousands of top American military officers,
counter-terrorism officials, intelligence officers, congressmen,
structural engineers, and others have publicly said, the government's
story about 9/11 makes absolutely no sense. See this, this, this and this. And family members of people who died on 9/11 - and many New Yorkers - want a new investigation.
But you'll never hear that in the corporate media.

That website looks like disinformation.
There are a lot of sites that promulgate really outrageous theories so that anybody trying to research runs into a lot of humbug.
Some of the best research on 9/11 has been done by David Ray Griffin.
It might be a disinfo site, but I tend to doubt it, because it does have videos that were removed long ago from the web that I remember well -- the one that shows the aircraft melting/disappearing into the WTC without any crushing damage and the one that shows the undamaged plastic/aluminum nose of the aircraft coming out the other side of the WTC. This is physically impossible, of course, and that must have been realised by the criminals in charge since the (official news media) videos of this didn't stay up long.
David Ray Griffin does a solid job of making the case against the official report.
VatoPaco the "shill"
The Government is "your friend"
With 'friends' like this...............
senor washington, you write some interesting stuff, i'll grant. you're about the only guy i'm aware of who even mentions fukushima (THAT old thing??) anymore. not many folks can even mention "9-11 anomalies" without being instantly brushed off as truthers, loons, etc.
but.
you're getting pretty close to alex jones territory on this one. (Bush was in Seattle yesterday....and today, it's RAINING there!! coincidence? Or.....HAARP?!?!?") the same corporate media that kept up a 24/7/365 drumbeat of EvilStupidBrilliantlySinisterMcHilterBushHalliburton for 8 years...the same media that begged readers to "help us go through the Palin emails so we can nail her ass!"....you're telling us THOSE guys wouldn't/couldn't look closer at 9-11?? even though finding a smoking gun would pretty much nail Bush to the cross? the Holy Grail of modern american journalism, every reporter's bestest wet dream??
Sorry. Can't quite buy it. Runs counter to Human Nature. 10 zillion reporters out there, all desperately wanting Bush's hide on their trophy wall - more than a few would have made the attempt, memos from corporate or no.
*LOVED* the inference of CIA control of the media, though. Just a few steps more, and you'll be duking it out ith the Alex Jones whackos to see who can blame the Bilderdergers/Trilateralists/CFR cabal the most.
Ok, i'm done. Feel free to explain to me how I must be a CIA stooge/shill, since I'm new here.
Dontcha know that the journalists fear being "deaded"? You know, the kind of journalists who go freelance into Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Rwanda, Mindinao, Tibet and Yangon during the monk uprisings...the journalists who keep a scorecard of how many of them are killed in action each year, while still going into harm's way to do their jobs? These are the ones who are afraid.
Makes perfect sense. Just start drooling and blabbering, which is a "proven" physical reaction to those who read infowars and Webster Tarpley (but the medical community has conspired to hide this fact along with the dangers from using cellphones or eating aspertame) and you'll begin to understand.
Reporters and the media don't do or know shit anymore. They have no balls. All US media is owned by 6 corporations. Seriously, wake up. If you want stupid pet tricks or human interest stories, you'll get those. But don't expect much more. ZH being the exception to the rule.
Nice last paragraph but I would not figure CIA. Probably DoD or Ministry of Truth, or maybe just stupid. You know anything about media consolidation? Some hot shot journalist comes up with a smoking gun and they don't print it and hand him a pink slip. Then he runs it on a little known blog while his kids starve, and he is just another wacko. As to whether the MSM hated Bush. You are still in the left - right bullshit diversion. Bush, Kerry, Palin, McSenile - it's all a joke kabuki theatre. People can write whatever inflammatory bullshit they want to. The Big Boyz don't care because they are all in their hip pocket bought and paid for. It just another version of American Idol, but **totally** devoid of talent. But 9/11 - that's another story. That's serious business to be contained. Where would this country be without the "War on Terraists?" The last president that went six months in office and thought that the Presidency meant anything was JFK. Eisenhower tried to warn him on the way out the door, but Kennedy didn't get the hint.
I bet JFK knew more or less who/what he was fighting, as demostrated in his 'secrecy is repugnant' speech,
but he didn't realize what danger he was to them and how far they would go to get rid of him,
he presented an existential danger to them and they knew that it didn't matter if the get caught killing him if he was allowed to live and go for a 2nd term it would have been game over for them anyway, so they not only killed him but any of his family that tried to avenge him
And guess who the Kennedys didn't like ?

Cain and Abel, Job and Jehovah, same ol' patriarchal bullshit. let it go and it all disappears...
I think a part of the denial of 9/11 is that it was soo self evident,
people on the street on 9/11 who watched the buildings fall with their bare eyes, knew this wasn't normal,
people just knew it was way deeper than just some Muslim highjakers,
but BECAUSE it was so self evident no1 dared to question it, if 9/11 was done to perfection and than you found 1 little thing that was missing, every1 would jump on it and investigate but because there was nothing to investigate on 9/11(it was pretty much clear to everybody with at least half a brain),
everybody knew the government had to have been implicated so everybody keep their mouths shut and stared in dissbelief

Shock and Awe on the American people.
When the mind is under severe emotional stress and has been deeply traumatized the first images you see and the first words of explanation you hear or read are psychologically imprinted upon the mind. This was why it was so critical for the cover up for the "Bin Laden did it" meme to (be) spread quickly.
Within a few minutes of the first tower being hit the news stations were already talking about terrorism. Within 30 minutes the name "Bin Laden" was being introduced. When the second tower was hit and it was self evident it was an 'attack' the push was on to blame Bin Laden.
Within 24 hours the average mind was thoroughly imprinted and conditioned.
I wonder how much the banksters had to pay bin Laden to get him to admit that he had done the planning? OBL was a crafty good liar when he made that claim of respnsibility. Do you believe he could ever have imagined that the US would try to retaliate against him?
The banksters don't need to pay the CIA and Mossad for their OBL fakery. They make the poor taxpayer pay instead. It's like in China where they made you pay for the bullet used to execute you.
You're not a shill, you're what's known as a useful idiot.
and you, laddybuck, are what's known as a knee-jerk mind-numbed robot. i never said i buy the official 9-11 myths. in an earlier GW post, i pointed out the extreme unliklihood of an unskilled pilot pulling a 757 through a descending corkscrew 330-degree turn into the pentagon and leveling out perfectly at 300+ knots, overcoming the inherent ground effects at that speed, and nailing the pentagon perfectly while never touching the ground. as well as the impossibility of 4 flight decks being breached without a 'hijack' squawk or signal button ever going out - 'cause doing that would take 3 seconds max, and pilots are trained to do it at the first sign of trouble.
all i did here was contrast GW's laughable notion that a government that couldn't restrain the MSM from going after Bush and Palin with every resource they had could somehow squash any serious looks at 9-11 - which would nail Bush's hide to the wall. so they want him real REAL bad, but a memo from ned beatty at corporate stops them short? ALL of them? yeah, right.
I'm assuming your reading comprehension ain't the best, canuck boy, so here's what i figure happened: you sounded out words that suggested to you that "someone say 9-11 story right! must call them bad name!"
and how exactly does that make you any different from the legions of what you'd no doubt call "sheeple" who reflexively mutter "truther" and turn away from valid questions of 9-11? the key word being "VALID", and not wild-ass, breathless accusations & guesses of "we're all under the control of dark sinister forces!!" you're not even a useful idiot - you're just an idiot.
Anybody who believes that an inexperienced pilot that couldn't even fly a cessna could navigate a 757 is an absolute and complete moron. It takes years and years of detailed instruction and graduated learning to fly a computerized jet. Does anyone really think someone could 'jump behind the wheel' and fly a commercial jet ? ..Let alone perform the type of flight vectors that were accomplished. It is physically and mentally impossible. It shows you how stupid sheeple truly are
"all i did here was contrast GW's laughable notion that a government that couldn't restrain the MSM from going after Bush and Palin with every resource they had could somehow squash any serious looks at 9-11 - which would nail Bush's hide to the wall. so they want him real REAL bad, but a memo from ned beatty at corporate stops them short?

Bush, Palin and their ilk, the MSM, the democrats and their ilk are all owned by Power Elites. They wouldn't have gotten as far as they did if they hadn't been allowed to by their owners.

FerelSerf,
Have you stocked up on enough tin foil for a lifetime supply to carry you through after TEOTWAWKI?
The media repeated the lies about Iraqi WMDs to justify the Iraq war, and only gave a mea culpa YEARS AFTER THE FACT.
The New York Times covered up the illegal spying for 1 year TO HELP BUSH WIN REELECTION.
But you're trying to make it a partisan issue, while it isn't one. The corporate media is always pro-war, whether a D or R is in office.
By the way, nice use of 4 and 5:
Twenty-Five Rules of Disinformation
oh, *I'm* using artsy little "rules" of topic jiu-jitsu and strawmanning, am i? well, let's see, there, o arbiter of what is and isn't a valid argument. ONE of us made the blanket statement that "[people who believe] such and such either 'suffer from emotional problems' are employ 'elaborate defense mechanisms'."
i wonder where 'derogatory belittling psychoanalysis of anyone who might dare not agree with you 1000%' is on your precious little list? hmmm?
because everyone KNOWS that People Who Have To Resort To 'Lists That Prove Why Everyone Who Doubts Me Is Wrong' suffer from deep undiagnosed psychological problems, as well as myriad unresolved oedipal issues.
as i said, earlier, washington, you're an intersting chap. Shrill; Brittle as hell; Entirely unable to bear less than total agreement/support/love from your readers, but....interesting. you might wanna get that other stuff looked at, though.
i posted his diagnoses in an earlier essay.
Everybody knows that the jooish cartel runs the media. So its not self- censorship. Its doing what your told or you don't get to play in the reindeer games. Go B'ssss
Fuck off and die, Nazi filth.

no wonder charlie is persona non grata
Mark Twain wrote of this type of censorship long ago, referenced to slavery and the Civil War, calling it the "silent assertion". See http://classiclit.about.com/library/bl-etexts/mtwain/bl-mtwain-myfirstli...
to be fair the MSM coverage of Obama's 2008 campaign was incredibly biased. I studied the campaign coverage, and the conventions. The images were clearly being framed and presented in the most detrimental fashion to the Democratic candidate. Then Sarah Palin came in the race, and she was given a free pass in a number of important areas.
All the while Goldman Sachs was buying the candidate, (so there were two conspiratorial groups, one which controlled the media coverage, which wanted to show Obama in the least flattering light, and the other, which wanted him elected, in order to control him for their own purposes. Obviously GS got what they wanted, though it remains unclear who was pulling their corporate media punches, in order to make the TV images look bad.) One suspects Republican operatives were sabotaging the media coverage, these are operatives who had gained a lot of influence during the Bush years. The Bush people literally beat the press like a cowed dog, then shoved a gay blogger named Jeff Gannon under their noses, to rub their nose it in a bit more.
Conversely the GOP did not give McCain much money, because he is too Liberal by current standards. He pulled SP out of his hat in an effort to gain some help. Now you can reflect that McCain is probably more Liberal than Obama. The GOP probably has north of a trillion dollars in offshore banks, waiting for the candidate they want.
After all this not to consider 9/11 a dirty political trick is to accept willful ignorance. When you can catch a mass murderer, you send a forensics team out to dig up bodies. Obama didn't, of course. His reasoning may be that he feels the economy couldn't take the open political warfare. To that end one has to suspect that the Bush people burned down the banking system to cover their tracks.
For Ellsberg to try to claim that the major media outlets follow government orders is a joke. If they were doing that, his traitorus leaks would never have been published. The remaining quotes are from a great collection of kooks. Olberman and Hirsch top the list. Moyers admits that facts are not important to him if they "get in the way of the story."
How much of that Sigsby salt did you eat?
people who run the government are taking orders from the corporate interests. that much seems obvious. Rather calls it self censorship and he is right, not journalists censoring themselves, but corporate interests which do the act of self censorship. the more they censor the less likely it is they will put money into their media divisions. its a less than vitrtuous cycle.
So, we don't really want to get at the TRUTH? (what numbers do you have your chips on?) Attack the messengers and not the message - FAIL!
The truth has been presented in many venues. The lunatic statements of Ellsberg add nothing to any finding of "truth."
If he has evidence, let him provide it. He has no problem in betraying people. Where is the evidence? Having Geo Wash dredge up stuff from the Before It Is News website and claim that it is informative is not a contribution leading to finding the truth.
The toughest part for me to get around with the 9/11 conspiracy theory is all the secrets that need to be kept. For the whole thing to be pulled off successfully, it would require thousands upon thousands of people from many parts of the world. It is very hard to imaginethat 10 years later not one person has fessed up or blown the whistle claiming "we planned the whole thing, I feel aweful about it, here is the hard evidence you have all been looking for". It is also extremely hard to believe that all types of media would not explore the consiracy theory to a greater degree because they were afraid. The MSM absolutely hated hated hated hated hated GW Bush and Cheney and would have done anything to bring them down. It is hard to imagine they wouldn't have jumped at any opportunity. The handful of good journalists left are pretty good at gathering evidence and checking sources. "9/11 was a conspiracy because I saw pictures on the internet" just isn't a good foundation for an expose'. Think of what type of evidence you would need to prepare for a case in an actual court (not the court of internet opinion). Imagine what the defense would counter with. There just isn't anything solid at the moment.
Manhattan Project and D-Day, numbnuts.
But the secret isn't kept. It's all over the internet. Hundreds of people have researched investigated and spoken out.
And got laughed at and ridiculed. In addition there is all the disinfo aimed at making anyone who does not believe the official version look like a nut.
In other words, "Don't worry these people are nothing".
Want to join them?
Furthermore the fix is in. If someone did manage to figure out the whole story in detail it wouldn't matter in the slightest because at this point there is absolutely no chance of anyone being arrested or going to jail.
The pysical facts of the event are impossible for me to believe. There is no way any of those building should have collapsed let alone WTC 7.
Almost every top-secret military program is a "conspiracy" of many, many people --- and nobody questions that they are in fact usually successful at maintaining their "conspiracies".
Area 51 has been an ongoing "conspiracy" involving literally tens of thousands of people over several decades, and the public still has very little knowledge of what truly goes on, or went on, there.
Every organized criminal syndicate is a "conspiracy", and they manage to thrive and persist even in the face of all law-enforcement efforts to break them.
Let us assume that one member of a conspiracy as monunmental in scope and impact as the 9/11 attacks were to try to publicly come forward. To whom, and to what corporate-controlled and co-opted "news" agency, would you suggest that person approach? Doyou REALLY believe they would want to even touch it, or dare air it? Even if he were to take his story to an alternative media organ, how can you imagine that he and his story would not instantly be attacked, marginalized, ridiculed and refuted by the powers in whose interest it would be to do so? And how can you not understand that such a person would be signing their own death certificate by attempting to publicly break such a story?
ANY conspiracy, no matter how large, can and will remain secret as long as it is in the best interests of each participant to remain silent.
Many people have spoke out, but the mainstream pulse is controlled.. but what CAN anyone do even if tomorrow Obama said yeah, CIA blew the fucker up. Then what debt slaves? Whatcha gonna do? Stop paying your taxes? Jail ya ass
Great points man.
I read these George Washington 9/11 articles with a mix of excitement, sadness and “get over it, loser” mindset.
Take solace in knowing 9/11 was an inside job, yet is going down in the history books as an outside job. That should make one: a) rethink all their history and b) teach their children to appreciate the bullshit humanity has experienced up until their lifetimes.
I've rolled it all around my head for the last few years and if anyone wants to change it up you have to start with the money.. and if everyone started using time banks and bitcoins then there would be some serious scare into the TPTB but the will of the majority of the people is less than flys on shit.. and the way they have fooled the bottom 80% or so into thinking that Mr. $40k a year is worlds different than Mr. $90k a year shows how brilliant their shepard skills are. you have the elite making 100 to 1000 times more than both of them but they know the public will take any immediate small division and make their own barriers and ignore the great divide that is afar
Nicely summed up. +1
Nope ... keeping it quiet would have been Standard Operating Procedure.
GW
I have come to suspect that for so many people still in denial it is a colossal failure of imagination laced with fear of what they would find if they activated their imagination.
"Daddy, tell me another lie so that I may beleive it is the truth."
The BIG LIE always begins within. Always!!
On the other hand, those of us who don't subscribe to the theory are just people who understand that peopel can do lousy things for the most bizarre of reasons. It didn't take a CIA/Mossad conspiracy to bring down the Twin Towers...it just took a few evil men.
Mark,
You just don't understand and never will. That skilled and professional journalists have never come up with anything other than the official story is irrelevant. That not a single person of the thousands who would have had to have been involved in the unofficial version has come forward to either clear his conscience or make a bazillion dollars is irrelevant. That those responsible have repeatedly claimed responsibility for their act is irrelevant. That truly patriotic individuals, some in service to the existing government, would immediately gun down anyone who actually carried out a false flag op of this magnitude (if they actually believed in the grand conspiracy) is also irrelevant.
Instead, sophistry and insanity reigns. When someone says, "we don't know the whole 911 story", well, it means that the CIA/Mossad/MI6/Rothschilds/Rockefellers/Bilderbergers/Illuminati/Trilateralists brought the towers down. It never means something like, "People are trying to cover their butts so that their incompetence doesn't come to light". Who needs context when there's a point to be made?
The only ones who really know The Truth are the small time financial planners, truck drivers, ink jet salesmen, etc. who somehow have direct links to real proof, have the only truly open minds, and have just plain old gut feel that the world is as they suspect it to be.
You see, Mark, some people just cannot accept that anyone else on this planet---other than the American and Israeli governments---is capable of any malice toward "children and other living things". Imagine the paradise this Earth was before Wild Bill Donavan and David Ben Gurion!
Also, Mark, some people just cannot accept that much of life is random. They need gods, but they also need bad guys. With a bad guy one always has the possibility of making a deal. With randomness, all one has is luck. So the feeble minded and weak need to create bogeymen, because the alternative is too tough to take. It is that form of denial and the need to believe there is some order, even if it is a malevolent order, that leads to the creation of conspiracies. Fear of randomness has sold a lot of tin foil hats.
And honest journalists "fear for their lives" so they won't ever publicly question the official story. Alex Jones, Webster Tarpley, Jesse Ventura (who had a TV show), our own GW, etc., have impenetrable force fields around them which prevent Mossad or CIA assassins from getting to them. The tin foil does it.
Hope that helps.

good post, +1000.
Thanks for sharing.
1st only a few hundred people needed to be involved at best
2nd all the people where pre-selected for their fanaticism, I bet most of them where jewish who are best known to put their national interests over any moral scruples
3rd all non essential people(of whom where maybe a dozen) where only doing a small part, for which there was plausible denial, so if any of the came out later sayin 'I put TNT in WTC' it could be dismissed as a 'anti-terror excercise' or a 'crazy person' who's whole life record would be erased in minutes, so that he could not even prove his name
4th there are many mercenaries from former failed states with specific knowledge and abilities(think former KGB, Stasi, ex-CIA, ex-MI6, Mosad etc.) who do this kind of jobs only on a lower scale daily, they don't have a morality nor state affiliation, the are Hitmen, this is what they do, if it's 1 person or 3000 makes no difference to them as long as they get paid
This seems a little ridiculous. We're supposed to believe, based on one man's hunch, that the government has actually ordered the media to not report something, and that all of these individual media members have passed up the opportunity to break a story like this for all these years? With no proof or evidence? Even now, after the prevailing opinion of Bush and his policies is so negative? Seems a bit far fetched.
