Why The Truth About 9/11 Is Censored By The Media
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=125x219192
False flag terrorism is the most controversial topic there is. Exposure of the truth about 9/11 would challenge the government and the corporate status quo. Exposure of the truth of 9/11 would directly damage the bottom line of the war profiteers (see below). It would also damage the financial interests of the news organizations, since revelation of the truth would show how bad the mainstream media has been in covering real news, thus encouraging more people to get their news from other sources.
In addition, the Bush administration is allowing tremendous consolidation in ownership of the airwaves. The large media players stand to gain billions of dollars in profits if the administration continues to allow monopoly ownership of the airwaves by a handful of players. The media giants know who butters their bread. So there is a spoken or tactit agreement: if the media cover the administration in a favorable light, the MSM will continue to be the receiver of the government's goodies. And censoring the truth about 9/11 is a large part of covering the administration in a favorable light.
Censorship by the Government
Finally, as if the media's own interest in covering up things like 9/11 and in promoting war is not strong enough, the government has exerted tremendous pressure on the media to report things a certain way. Indeed, at times the government has thrown media owners and reporters in jail if they've been too critical. The media companies have already felt great pressure from the government to kill any real coverage of 9/11 other than the official story and attacking straw men.
For example, Dan Rather said, regarding American media, "What you have is a miniature version of what you have in totalitarian states".
Tom Brokaw said "all wars are based on propaganda".
And the head of CNN said:
"there was 'almost a patriotism police' after 9/11 and when the network showed it would get phone calls from advertisers and the administration and "big people in corporations were calling up and saying, 'You're being anti-American here.'"
Indeed, former military analyst and famed Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg said that the government has ordered the media not to cover 9/11, saying:
Ellsberg seemed hardly surprised that today's American mainstream broadcast media has so far failed to take <9/11 whistleblower Sibel> Edmonds up on her offer, despite the blockbuster nature of her allegations .
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.

You can see the same mindset happening right here on DU, that is why September 11 is in the dungeon. That is also why there are humorless operatives living down here to intimidate and confuse the posters.

2. Why Thank You.
I've know for a long time what really happened, but it was only in the last week I figured out a very important piece of the puzzle. I don't normally post down here because either I am preaching to the choir or sparing with the operatives, which is a waste of time and energy.
Isn't that nice? Those two loony truffers have found one another!

5. Did FEMA's Project Godzilla bring the WTC down on 9/11?
Edited on Sat Aug-16-08 04:19 PM by RC
"The result was a secret program called Godzilla. This program is in part a secret building code by the terms of which structures deemed of concern must submit a plan for demolition that FEMA keeps on file. Planned buildings over a certain height must submit a demolition plan along with a construction plan and the construction plan must include facilities and features within the structure and machinery for the potential installation of demolition explosives."

There is not a whole lot out there on this. I can't find the original article I saw, but it said basically the same thing as this one.
It would explain why there were work crews & temporally closed off floors in the Twin Towers in the months before 9/11.
The reason for the Godzilla Project was and still is originally good. But the criminals took advantage of it to start their war and the rest is history.
FEMA under Bill Clinton worked. bu$h fatally fixed that early on.

6. That is what I believe, and others that the towers were wired in case something might happen
not necessarily because 9/11 was going to happen, the wiring was just a plus for the event.
Uh...let me get this straight. The building were wired to fall down JUST IN CASE a plane flew into them?

8. They needed a high casualty level
The better to "shock and awe" you with.
"****ing crazy" just doesn't really cover them, does it?
