A piece entitled The Truthers' New Friends has appeared
in this week's edition of the Weekly Standard, which slams questions
surrounding the attacks as "Anti-American" and those
who entertain them as "lunatics".
The piece focuses on the screening of Italian film
maker Giulietto Chiesa's ZERO on
Russian State TV last month.
Clearly the fact that up to 30 million Russian citizens
were able to switch on their TVs and watch a debate about 9/11
as a false flag event has got some at the Standard extremely riled.
"On September 12, the America-bashing reached
a new low: a prime-time special on national television peddling
the notion that the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks of
September 11, 2001, were an inside job by American warmongers."
writes Cathy Young.
"...the lunatics, for the most part, were running
the asylum. The discussion was heavily dominated by several pro-conspiracy
panelists who dismissed the "official story" of "19
Arabs directed by Osama bin Laden in a cave" as self-evidently
absurd." the piece continues.
Young insinuates that the whole thing was a set
up bent on "stoking anti-Americanism in the Russian population".
She even suggests "the purpose may have been retaliation:
You won't buy our version of the war in Georgia? Fine, we won't
buy your version of 9/11," referring to the recent Western
corporate
media bias over the conflict in South Ossetia.
According to a Russia
Today poll 84% of their citizens are "lunatics"
by the Standard's definition. Indeed, according to a global
survey by WorldPublicOpinion.org, over half the world's
population are "lunatics".
Of course, we shouldn't be surprised by the Standard's
attack , given that it is edited by arch Neo-Con Bill Kristol,
he of the PNAC, whom you may recall advanced the prospect of a
"New American Century" based primarily on preemptive
warfare and military dominance.
In 2000 the report he submitted his name to, along
with Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld , stated that it's goals
would not be achievable in the immediate term "absent some
catastrophic and catalyzing event—like a new Pearl Harbor".
