The History Channel –
The conjuring of the neo-truth!

The History Channel has produced
a documentary titled 9/11
Conspiracies – Fact or Fiction.
It aired on Monday, August 20, 2007.
According to the abstract, the documentary examines
the various conspiracy theories espoused on the Internet, in articles
and in public forums that attempt to explain the 9/11 attacks.
It includes theories that the World Trade Center was brought down
by a controlled demolition; that a missile, not a commercial airliner,
hit the Pentagon; and that members of the U.S. government orchestrated
the attacks in hopes of creating a war in the Middle East. Each
conspiracy argument is countered by a variety of experts in the
fields of engineering, intelligence and the military. The
program also delves into the anatomy of such conspiracies and
how they grow on the Internet.
Even
the abstract is a lie.
The
only honest conclusion that can be reached after watching this
dishonest piece is that Hearst Publishing, Popular Mechanics,
NBC, show producer Brad Davis, and the History Channel have conspired
to produce what amounts to a shallow hit piece aimed at reassuring
the dull and self-absorbed that there is indeed a terrorist under
every bed and only the government and corporate media can be trusted
to keep the people safe and informed.
Not only did the History Channel distort the facts, it
purposely went out of its way to depict the thinking people that
question elements of the government / media cabal’s account
of 9/11 in a less than favorable light – literally.

According
to Alex Jones and Paul Joseph Watson of Prison
Planet, The debunkers' interviews were pristinely shot and
framed, with beautiful backdrops and highly sympathetic camera
angles and filters, whereas the truthers were shot from bizarre
positions, their images were deliberately distorted and even the
color filter of the shot had been manipulated to make their appearance
look tainted, blurred and contorted. This was an intentional ploy
and a crude act of manipulation to detract credibility from the
truthers and violates all known ethical standards of journalism.
Debunkers
is a term used to describe the Tories such as the James
Meigs of Popular Mechanic and Truther is a term used to
describe 50 percent of the U.S. population that have awakened
from the 9/11 spell, wiped the propaganda from their eyes, and
began to see again.
So
what can we that see do about a thing like the History
Channel engaging in journalistic misconduct and spreading propaganda
that aids and abets the cover-up of the crime of the century?
The
History Channel has its tentacles spread throughout our federal,
state, and municipal governments, to include our local school
boards, and the minds of our young via its educational arm www.historyeducation.com.
It
derives a good portion of its income through taxpayers’
money and our educational system. In its 2007 “Educator’s
Catalog” topics such as American History, World
History, Biography, Engineering & Technology, Science
& Nature, Arts & Literature, Social Issues, and finally,
Current Events are covered.
If
“The 9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction” gets
listed in the next catalog it will be available to public schools
– purchased with your tax dollars! It is currently for sale online
for $24.95.
A
great way to hit back is to hit the History Channel in the pocketbook.
Educators and advocates within the truth movement
should appoint themselves child advocates and challenge the History
Channel in court for inaccuracies in the classroom.
A grassroots effort to prevent this 9/11 hit piece from
being purchased by public schools should be launched.
Furthermore, based on the proven record of misinformation,
any future History Channel material should be required to be reviewed
and approved by a similar court appointed panel before our public
schools can access the information and present it to our impressionable
schoolchildren.
