Don > "Does it really make a difference?" I think it does.
I don't know if this thread is the place to mention it but Mike Ruppert has certainly caused waves in the 9-11 activist community with his statement that 9-11 is no longer a useful political tool. Whether this now makes his research and opinions null-and-void is something I cannot say? And, I am certainly not able to say whether he is a government agent who promotes disinformation or faulty information as others suggest?

>>In front of a wildly enthusiastic throng of supporters, listeners, activists, and those just needing to learn and listen, Ruppert explained to them that although the 9-11 cause is still alive it is no longer useful as a political tool by activists. The window on 9/11 has closed. Simple as that.<<

>>Ruppert's perspective is totally hypocritical, as much as I would respect his research. I would remind Ruppert that the powers that be still fear the book: for instance, Amazon.com is offering the book WELL BELOW COST to siphon off money to Ruppert's intelligence/writing/funding capacity. (Amazon.com does private censorship as well when it suits them: Skolnicks book is, even against his instructions, being sold at twice the asking price at Amazon.com, at over 40 dollars. The inverted strategy is used on Ruppert, as he surmises as well, in the intentional "dumping" of his book at below cost as an attempt to destroy his independent sales and independent cash flow).
Back to the issue at hand, I would argue that people should still work to popularize 9-11 information, instead of roll over and die, because 9-11 is a strategic point where they are totally weak.
Accurate 9-11 information--POPULARIZED, AND VISIBLE IN PROTESTS AND LITERATURE HANDOUTS AND BOOKS AND ARTICLES--is still the best strategic chance to dismantle the whole fascist dreamworld of lies that has been studiously crafted by the Bush league neocons.
Ruppert has this "ownership" thing going on 9-11 that is rather astounding to me and I think Kirwan states this very well:
"Above all - given the conflicted and growing anger of the public, it is not up to any individual writer [Ruppert] to call for others to just "forget it." <<

>>Well, Mr. Ruppert, I have news for you. 9-11 is NOT dead, and when my book 9-11 on Trial is released next month, you’ll see why. By culling together data from scores of the best 9-11 researchers around, we now have undeniable, definitive proof that there was zero possibility that the World Trade Center towers collapsed from either the impact of jet planes, or the resulting jet fuel fires. Zero chance. And we’ve now proven it! Better yet, we haven’t used even one “conspiracy theory” in doing so. Rather, we’ve utilized mathematical equations, physics, scientific formulas, physical evidence, the laws of nature, and expert testimony to reach our conclusion.
Please take a moment and think about what we’re telling you --- the WTC towers did not collapse due to jet fuel fires or from crashing jetliners. And now it’s all proven in one place.
With that in mind; let me ask everyone a question: how can 9-11 be an issue we should ‘look beyond’? It’s absurd, and Mike Ruppert should be absolutely ashamed of himself for even considering such a preposterous notion, let alone uttering it before a live audience. Those in attendance should have booed him off the stage.<< |
