Nothing personal. But why are you wasting your time with CNN? When they first started, they were an actual network (IMO). Now, all that matters is sex scandals, child murder cases, and having torturers who worked under Bush II do “legal analysis” on Guantanemo prisoners who are tortured.

Why bother.

This then leads to everyone literally seeing 9/11 as a new market. Everything from DVD’s to CD’s to books, T-shirts and anything else you can make. As for those who say it would be literally impossible to keep 9/11 a secret, that’s a weak argument. How many times have the Kennedy assassanation files release been pushed back for “national security reasons”? In the current environment, dissent isn’t allowed.

Again, let’s mention John Pilger. In 2011, a Australian journalist based in London and respected worldwide is banned in the States. Why? He’s not a convicted criminal. He’s not a terrorist. Yet, he’s banned like Chomsky is. However, since Chomsky’s a citizen, what’s the govt. gonna do? Deport a citizen for expressing his opinions?

It’s true that almost none of the progressive media will touch 9/11. Why? First, they have to make a living. Second, in their view they’ll be seen as “another 9/11 nutter”. There’s some You Tube channel that specializes in ambush interviews with various celebs to find out why they won’t cover 9/11. This will get you lots of views and about 10 minutes of fame. But that’s it.

I really feel sorry for the people who lost friends and loved ones in 9/11. They’re loss is being manipulated by lots of others for profit. Then, the govt. tells you there’s no conspiracy. Which is a polite way of saying shut up and go home.

Now, if one of the Powers that Be lost someone in 9/11. we’d see an instant change. Why? Because since this “name” is involved, it’s now “officially” news. Which means the corporate MSM won’t sack the reporter who’s sent to cover it.

We live in a society where it’s illegal to publically question Israel. Any programming or content that’s actually serious, well-researched and asks questions is banned. If you dare to speak out, you’ll be fired, arrested or blackballed in your work. Why is there almost no MSM foreign coverage? Because we can’t afford the “big names”. Therefore, almost all of the foreign correspondents you see for Stateside news channels are foreigners. Maybe they work way cheaper?

Right now, there’s actually a financial incentive for many people for the inaction on the Left to continue. If millions started marching tomorrow and didn’t back down, what would people like Chris Hedges write about? How long has he been milking this “death of the liberal class” idea?

Until many people publically admit that and deal with it, none of this will change. Who then would dare to risk being a whistleblower. In the current environment, your life is essentially destroyed. Which means many end up emigrating elsewhere.

I found these on amazon, with only 1 copy on the site: http://www.amazon.com/Pentagon-papers-Summaries-documents-published/dp/B00071SENM

Thank you,

In the case of Afghanistan, a lengthy public debate resulted in broad consensus and this was followed by congressional authorization and only then was military action taken.

In the case of Iraq, again, there was a lengthy public discussion followed by congressional authorization. Further, in the case of Iraq, the invasion and removal of Saddam and the Ba’athists was arguably a military intervention to end a decade of ceaseless military combat and serial crimes against humanity by the Iraqi regime, not a military confrontation which transformed a condition of peace into warfare.

Thank you for your service both in and out of uniform,

Mike
