BBC Conspiracy Files - more than a hit-piece, a whitewash.

Here are my notes.

Shout it out!

Omissions: no eyewitness reports of explosions. No FDNY testimonies. No quotes from anchors. No mention of FAA records being destroyed. No sustained shots of the WTC1 & 2 'collapses' showing explosive force . No mention of debris hurled 400 feet sideways. No molten metal. No Thermite. No Steven Jones. No David Ray Griffin. No mention of 4,000,000 views of Loose Change. No 85 confiscated videos at Pentagon. No Minetta testimony. No skeptic eyewitnesses at pentagon or Shanksville. No no-planes. No DEWs. No free-fall speed. No clear clip of WTC7. No toxic dust. No dying responders. No big-names ( Bowman, Paul Craig Roberts, Von Buelow, Meacher, Sheen, Lynch etc etc). No polls. No BBC report that 5 of hijackers still alive. No UBL denial . No insider dealing . No Giuliani, No Silverstein
No Marvin Bush. No 'Pull it' No Danny Jowenko. No Bush at Booker. No CIA funding of Al-Qaeda. No Northwoods. No power-downs at WTC. No sniffer dogs.
No Willy Rodriguez. No Rick Siegel . No 911truth.org.

Distortions: WTC7 shown four times in weakest shot (the one used for Berger CNN interview where 7 is half hidden). Impression of scientists v. isolated fanatical individuals. Alex Jones as cult-leader at quasi- evangelical 'rally'. Fetzer in close-up moving his head around a lot . Only Dylan held his cool and in one classic scene when interviewed about Wally Miller he exuded seething if controlled anger. Strawmen like '4,000 Jews' used to discredit whole range of 911 skepticism. Presented 'evidence' of UA93 crash as Bandana and Passport, then said , "In the face of ALL THIS,some still believe it was a conspiracy."

Lies: "WTC 7 was a raging inferno"."Flight 11 took off that morning". OGCT presented as fact.
X-files writer-"To think that the US government contains mass-murderers is preposterous". Popular Mechanics given credibility as ordinary down to-earth magazine.

Ended by trying to boil down the whole conspiracy to FBI's admission of failure to act on intelligence supplied to CIA. ''The American people were failed" .
Concluding words of V/O: "The other conspiracy theories are just that - theories.
The evidence doesn't support them."

We were never shown that evidence.

another review by st911- andrew lowe watson review at
http://www.911researchers.com/node/243

"...Some people believe that the American Government allowed or actively helped the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. And why was America so unprepared when terror attack warnings had been received? The Conspiracy Files travels across the United States to investigate and speak to eyewitnesses, and tries to separate fact from fiction...."

http://www.nineeleven.co.uk/board/viewforum.php?f=4
"...Some claim it wasn't as bad as expected but the general consensus:

"Deliberately boring, the usual plethora of tricks. Badger the opposition, Dylan Avery's body languge was unconvincing he scratched and fidgeted as he was repeatedy badgered by the interviewer. Fetzer, Jones and Avery were filmed in badly framed and lit shots. Associate it with Kennedy and Jews and other wacky theroies. Sell the lie with authority then change the subject to something emotional, the victims all accompanied by Berbers Addagio.

Bullshit WHITEWASH!..."

Thanks Nico

just to correct your spelling of one of America's greatest composers...it is (Samuel) Barber's Adagio.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Barber

His intensely lyrical Adagio for Strings would go on to become his most famous composition and would later take appear in films such as "Platoon," "The Elephant Man," "El Norte," and "Lorenzo's Oil".

This wonderful music full of compassion was used for a fascist propganda vehicle. Did his estate give permission. I wonder?

Interesting that there was no breath of npt, tvfakery or exoweapons. They missed out there.

The beeb brainwashing

So i was flicking with the missus last nite and there it was, 15 mins in.

Pentagon --

awesome lying and utter illogical reasoning.
1) pentagon wall was shown and the hole was highlighted using a cgi line overlay.. 18-20ft was quoted.
2) Dr chump was introduced and we were told he was not a government paid stooge.
3) Dr Chump provided a reconstruction of the pentagon and plane crash, using a 757.

now here is where the illogical reasoning appeared...
4) Dr chump explains the wings entered the building and all the jet fuel ignited spreading throughout the 'support columns'. Yup they used that phrase.

Brilliant! We just saw the pentagon facia with a small hole and no other holes or gaping damage but then Dr Chump claims the wings smashed into the building spreading jet fuel.

Very cleverly directed.. the impossible scenario was completely lost during the moment of viewing. Only after 5 mins did i have to talk to the missus about what we both just watched.

Generally a complete hit-piece, spreading the impression that everyone, everyone, is tailoring the evidence to their own needs. We picked up on that immediately.

last point;

I am not a big fan of Loose Change but when something is blatantly misrepresented i must stick my boot in.
Flight 93, landing in cleveland.
BBC2 skewed the Loose Change assertion that 2 (two) planes landed in cleveland and tured it into 1 plane, a delta airlines flight. BBC2 then trundled out a women from that flight and incinuated that Loose Change information is lies. No mention about the 10.45am landing only concentrating upon the 10.10am delta flight.
Very very very clever lying and misrepresentation.

oh i got 3 texts from people saying they had just watched it and thought of me. Feck me, brainwashing by the Beeb did have an immediate impact.

doesn't it shit you?

i don't mind loose change. it has the guts to push a theory, even if it is invisble planes with flashes. but the good thing is, it'll hit the cinemas soon, and people will see their little debinking attempts were crap, and why would they do that unless..... they have something to hide. also.. pentagon graphic. yes i have seen it. it is hilarious. it is in a clip i have here by sarcastic 17. she rips it a new one and she's like 18 ?.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grYTkYTlhOs

she's good. she's a two planer but she has an open mind, and knows there was no 757's so she's on the right track. she's on live and toob. sarcastic17. maybe go and sub her up for support. she also doesn't mind talking to no planers.

good footage

i just ripped all this docko and after calming down, i went thru it. there are a few little gems. one in particular is raw 93 footage. it is clean crisp, no logos, which mean you can use it anywhere, and there is a an absolute classic right at the end of the usual 'helicopter' clip. there is a firman, by himself, looking really bored, pointing a firehouse into the empty hole, while everybody else kind of wanders off. it's a complete gem, there is also a clip of the spire, from close, standing strong well after collapse. a few 'blak blob' chots without logos, and a few others. i urge you to go thru it, and trim stuff out. it's all good quality. not analogue tv broadcast stuff.

Some good things were there that didn't need to be.

As you say, the 93 stuff was, on the face of it, quite skeptical. And then along comes this Big Brother scriptline and it's "In the face of all this evidence..." when all they can show is a bandana and a passport and a coroner who changed his story ( like the mayor?) There was a large Killtown-shaped hole in this part of the programme.

Other surprising admissions were the 'squibs' on the Twin Towers, the fact that WTC7 appeared at least to be a CD (and despite the poor shoice of clip it still went down very fast), and the use of the Loose Change Pentacrash animation, which I have always loved. There were others.

What was probably most annoying was the waste of time spent shooting down straw men such as the X files 'Lone gunman' script and the 'no Jews' scam which nobody in their right mind - note my words - gives any credence to.
Then to borrow the garb of protest by getting all outraged about the FBI/CIA debacle and intoning "America failed its people" - well it's contemptible.

Overall it was an incredibly sloppy, poorly researched and inadequate job, considering the huge amount of information there is out there.

One would almost think the BBC acts like State-Run Media

Now that the Soviet Union has fallen into disrepair, someone has got to be the official news organization for the State. Pravda and Tass have passed the torch. The BBC and the Guardian have answered the call!

He really hates us

I reckon this Warren guy is important as he represents the mindless Monbiots of the Anti-War Left whose hatred for 911 Truth seems to have clouded their ability to think clearly, or at all.

rick's picture

He is a sock puppet

He does nothing more than repeat the left government party line in a low class British accent. I guess he thinks his language gives him street credibility. Yo Bro! Hip-Hop!

I assume the Anti-war are mad for the loss of revenue and body count. I know these Anti-war people have been around a long time and not one war was stopped, not one less bullet fired than what the powers wanted. Yet their budgets are bloated with corporate write offs. So, their hot wind shall pass if you hold your breath you will not suffer. Organizational Independence.

Hate is bred from lack of understanding. This kid has a lot of that.

Those who are not ready for self-rule and the cathartic change that must happen are merely blowing in the wind.
