Imagine that elite policy makers of a foreign country conceived of a\r\nmonstrous plan that included a movie within a movie. The cast of \r\nthe larger movie is comprised of a large collection of carefully \r\nchosen intelligence assets who pose as journalists. For decades\r\nthese actors build up a huge following and earn enormous admiration \r\nfrom the educated masses by fearlessly breaking crucial stories and \r\nserving up cutting-edge commentary.

\r\n\r\nNote the policy makers have not just simply infiltrated the establishment media. They \r\nhave actually created a phony opposition to it as well.\r\nNews stories are\r\nplanted that test whether the progressive public can figure out that the\r\nalternative media it relies upon is a charade. After the progressive\r\ncommunity fails each test the policy planners conclude that the world is\r\nready for the most spectacular hoax ever perpetuated on television.

\r\n\r\nDoes this resemble Guy Debord’s\r\nSociety and the Spectacle? On September 11, 2001, \r\nmillions of people around the US, hearing that a pilot had crashed his plane \r\ninto the World Trade Center, turned on their TVs and saw black smoke \r\nleaving a gaping hole in the North Tower. As the cameras lingered over \r\nthe scene many people wondered “where is the plane?” Seventeen minutes \r\nlater (09:03 a.m.) the monstrous illusion of a commercial jet was shown \r\non TV striking the South Tower. Fifty-six minutes later (09:59 a.m.) the \r\nSouth Tower suspiciously collapsed in its footprint. Twenty-nine minutes \r\nafterwards (10:28 a.m.) the North Tower also mysteriously collapsed.

\r\n\r\nThroughout the day of 9\/11\/01 the news media repeatedly showed video clips of \r\n“Flight 175” striking the South Tower to a horrified public. Then the video \r\nimagery disappeared from the nation’s airwaves. It has seldom been \r\naired since.

\r\n\r\nThat’s because this 911 video was fake. There were no commercial jets \r\nwhich crashed into the World Trade Center. The planners who conceived of \r\n911 knew that jet fuel (i.e., refined kerosene) could not possibly \r\nmelt the steel towers—and certainly couldn’t deform the steel to cause \r\nit to collapse in the path of most resistance; i.e., straight down. Yet, \r\nthey also needed a large television audience to SEE these planes striking \r\nthe towers before the towers demolished. This would indoctrinate the \r\ngeneral public into believing that the planes caused the destruction of \r\nthe towers. Because 911 also included a fictional attack on the Pentagon, \r\na shoot-down of a civilian aircraft (UA 93),\r\nphony cell phone calls from \r\nheroic passengers and another tall steel building (WTC 7)\r\nsuddenly collapsing in its footprint this was too much information for most \r\npeople to handle. Millions of people (still)\r\nwant to believe the \r\nludicrous official story of 911 so badly that they are willing to \r\naccept whatever scientific and logical contradictions are necessary \r\nto do so.

\r\n\r\nThe bogus “opposition media” plays a crucial component in this indoctrination. While \r\n9\/11 is still fresh in the minds of many it is child’s play to keep \r\nprominent researchers from the citizen’s truth movement from being \r\nheard. (After all, many of these figures are also infiltrators who \r\ndeliberately come off as whack jobs to discredit the movement.) In addition, the\r\nphony opposition media has little difficulty encouraging activists to protest \r\nin large numbers as was done in the 1960s and 1970s. Thus, the masses are \r\nmisled into dissipating its enormous energy on large public protests that \r\naccomplish very little and actually reinforce the phony opposition media so \r\ncrucial to the Coup’s plans. The activists who claim that exposing 911 is \r\nnot relevant as protesting the awful events which followed it are actually \r\nreinforcing the matrix that binds us all.


\r\n\r\nFlight 175\r\n\r\n#file_1#\r\n

\r\n\r\nClose your eyes and imagine a largely aluminum plane striking a steel\r\nbuilding at 450 mph. Imagine the noise the impact makes. Watch the \r\nwings break off. Then see the fuselage crumple and quickly become a \r\nshower of metallic confetti.

\r\n\r\nRecall that in the video that was screened on 9\/11 there are\r\nno pieces of \r\nFlight 175 breaking off when impacting the South Tower. The fuselage \r\nsomehow remains intact. In addition,\r\nno one records any impact sound. Also, \r\nthere are eyewitnesses in New York City who to this day insist that no \r\ncommercial jet struck the South Tower. They are being ignored.


\r\n\r\n\r\nFlight 11\r\n\r\n#file_2#\r\n

\r\n\r\nThe only known video clip of “Flight 11” striking the North Tower was filmed \r\nby the Naudet Brothers, who claim to have been coincidentally videotaping a\r\ndocumentary about a torpid firefighter named Tony at the same time.

\r\n\r\nJules Naudet is credited with the\r\nsensational pan left which tracked Flight 11 \r\nas it struck the North Tower. The foreground object, a large building, is \r\nlargely in focus as the camera rapidly pans left. The World Trade Center, \r\nseen in extreme long shot, is more or less in focus as Flight 11 strikes the \r\nNorth Tower. Only the plane remains out of focus. It makes absolutely no \r\nsense that Flight 11 would be out of focus as we see it collide \r\nwith the North Tower.

\r\n\r\nWhile individual frames of this video clip can certainly be blurry Flight 11 \r\nshould not be blurry as it moves on the screen. This is because it is being \r\nprojected at 18 frames per second (or more). At this rate the human brain \r\nbegins to be fooled into thinking that animated objects are actually in motion. Without \r\nthis capacity for the brain to be fooled there could be no cinema.

\r\n\r\nSomeone else appears to have noticed this discrepancy. This could be why the \r\nPower Hour has come out with a\r\nnew, more optically sensible version of this \r\nvideo clip which tens of millions of people have seen! (It appears in \r\ntheir “director’s cut” version of\r\n911: In Plane Site<\/b><\/em>.)

\r\n\r\nThe anti-war movement is well advised to expose as fraudulent the blurry and \r\nbuttery planes of 9\/11 which were part of the cruelest hoax in \r\ncinematic history. It can only become victorious in its struggle when \r\nenough people fully comprehend the true nature of the progressive media that \r\nis currently admired with great esteem.
