Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media (1992)

The Truth And Lies Of 9-11 (November 2001)
A shocking video of a paper trail case presented well by Mike Ruppert. His case is good though there is some truth in what Conspiracy Planet states - Mike Ruppert refuses to focus on the 'physical evidence' portion of the 9-11 sceptics' that is "typically used to confuse simple facts" because that approach (in his own words), "will never penetrate the consciousness of the American people in a way that will bring about change. What will penetrate, from my experience, is taking non-scientific reports that most people instantly accept as credible, whether news reports or government statements or documents, and merely showing that they are lies. That opens the wedge, and removes any reliance upon expert or scientific testimony which is typically used to confuse simple facts." The strength of Mike Ruppert's case is that assuming the documents are from authentic sources, then he makes a case with little room for debate as happens in some of the following analysis' when non-engineer and non-expert opinion pursue speculative discourse about a few photos of crash sites and limited video (there are doubtless hundreds more photographs with better resolution to debate over). The importance of The Truth And Lies Of 9-11 is that it challenges the methods and motives that brought about the events on 9-11. The case becomes crystal clear along side historical accounts of hegemony and abuse the US Government leads for the global corporate interests. Some negative accounts about Mike Ruppert and his research seemed less than objective, and I didn't feel like reading through a bunch of rants. Ultimately, it is proven beyond Mike Ruppert's case that the Bush administration is undeniably greedy at the expense of all life on Earth. Even if only one percent of The Truth And Lies Of 9-11 or Michael Moore's Farhenheit 9-11 is true then the White House needs an overhaul.
