We are about to be subjected to a barrage from the Bush administration on the 5 year anniversary of 9/11 designed to crank up the terror and drum up support for the terror wars, which is slipping badly in the polls, with 60 percent of the American people wishing US troops out of Iraq, not to mention the wishes of the Iraqi people who are nearly unamimous on that . The opening salvos in the media campaign for our hearts and minds has begun. Yesterday, Sept 2, the New York Times carried an article by Jim Dwyer titled 2 U.S. Reports Seek to Counter Conspiracy Theories About 9/11. It begins as follows...
Faced with an angry minority of people who believe the Sept. 11 attacks were part of a shadowy and sprawling plot run by Americans, separate reports were published this week by the State Department and a federal science agency insisting that the catastrophes were caused by hijackers who used commercial airliners as weapons.
The official narrative of the attacks has been attacked as little more than a cover story by an assortment of radio hosts, academics, amateur filmmakers and others who have spread their arguments on the Internet and cable television in America and abroad. As a motive, they suggest that the Bush administration wanted to use the attacks to justify military action in the Middle East.
Most elaborately, they propose that the collapse of the World Trade Center was actually caused by explosive charges secretly planted in the buildings, rather than by the destructive force of the airliners that thundered into the towers and set them ablaze. "
further in to the article, dwyer writes "A nationwide poll taken earlier this summer by the Scripps Survey Research Center at Ohio University found that more than a third of those surveyed said the federal government either took part in the attacks or allowed them to happen. And 16 percent said the destruction of the trade center was aided by explosives hidden in the buildings. The survey questioned 1,010 adults by telephone and had a margin of sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points. Details are available "
911truth.org one of the key sites of the 9/11 truth movement cites another national poll conducted by Zogby, in which 42 percent of American adults , believe that the US government and its 9/11 Commission concealed or refused to investigate critical evidence that contradicts their official explanation of the September 11th attacks, saying there has been a cover-up. So, in spite of the damage to American intellect by schooling that John Taylor Gatto has been discussing in his book the underground history of American education - which will contimnue in our second hour - the project of dumbing has not damaged all American noses so much that they fail to distinguish either the smell of manure or a burning Reichstag
