simple way you can act and “encourage” media to
stop these simpleton’s attempts to turn off the spigot of
9/11 truth.
Below the RMN emails,
is a message you can send to the editors and
entire writing staff of Rocky Mountain News to show them that shoddy
attack journalists like them are the “real 9/11 conspiracy
wing nuts” not those demanding answers to the gaping holes in
the official 9/11 story. Below are the RMN email
addresses. Feel free to send them the below message and
essay, and encourage others to as well.

Re: Your Opinion of “"Disturbing trend of 9/11 skeptics"
I am submitting an opinion piece for Rocky Mountain News, written by
Bill Douglas, an author who has also been a contributing guest
columnist for The Business Journal, The Kansas City Star, etc.
This opinion piece entitled, “Exposing the 9/11 Conspiracy
Wingnuts” is a timely piece. I hope you enjoy it
and publish it.

Exposing the 9/11
Conspiracy Wingnuts
by Bill Douglas,
author of "The Amateur Parent - A Book on Life, Death,
War & Peace, and Everything Else in the
Universe.” Bill has been a contributing guest
columnist for The Business Journal, The Kansas City Star, etc.
I began researching
the mainstream media coverage of the controversy
regarding the attacks of 9/11/2001, when reading an article in the
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Newspaper, dated June 29th, 2006.
It was titled, "Sept. 11 claim stirs UW probe -- Instructor says U.S.
planned the attacks to provoke war." This led to my discovery
of some wild conspiracy theorists that endanger our government and
media establishments, with quite frankly insane assertions.
I'll address this in full in the final paragraph.
Then by using a
"google video 9/11" search, I recently viewed a FOX
News interview on Hannity and Colmes with an Arab Studies teacher from
the University of Wisconsin named Kevin Barrett. I had
earlier seen an interview with another, a professor named James Fetzer,
University of Minnesota Duluth. A few weeks earlier I had
seen an interview on MSNBC Scarborough country interviewing a Mike
Berger representing 911Truth.org.
Some of these guests
referred to an organization called "Scholars for
9/11 Truth" with a website www.st911.org, which
offered a physics research paper questioning the official explanation
of the events of 9/11/2001. While visiting this site, I read
that they pointed to the temperatures of the fires in the WTC
buildings, and construction of the buildings, and the speed they fell,
as evidence they claimed proved that what we saw on 9/11/2001 when the
towers fell had to have been the result of a controlled demolition.
Like the ones we've seen with Las Vegas hotels being brought
down. Their claim was that the WTC buildings could not have
been caused solely by the aircraft hitting the WTC buildings that day.
Then, I contacted the
office of a Wisconsin State Legislator, Rep.
Stephen Nass (R-Whitewater), and asked to speak to someone in the
office who could speak on this issue. I asked if he was
familiar with the Scholars for 9/11 Truth website, and he replied they
had learned of it this week. I asked him if he and the
Representative could comment on the charge that the fires on 9/11/2001
in the WTC buildings did not burn hot enough to bring down the
buildings, and if he'd read the scholars organization's charge that
thermate traces had been found on debris from the fallen towers
(thermate indicating demolition type explosives were
involved). The gentleman responded that no, they had not
looked at this information, and this would not be something they would
look at, further indicating that anyone who made such charges was
blinded by their hatred of President Bush.
Which leads back to
the interviews of guests on the three television
news programs. The main theme of all three of the guests on these
programs appeared to be concern of the physical evidence of 9/11/2001,
mentioned above and particularly regarding the collapse of three of the
World Trade Center buildings on that day.
The main themes of the
interviewers on these programs appeared to be
two-fold:
1) The guests were
representing a fringe movement, and most Americans
do not dispute the official 9/11 explanation of the 19 hijackers
defeating US military and intelligence forces on 9/11/2001.
2) The guests and
those they speak for, who question the official
9/11/2001 account, are of questionable sanity
This motivated me to
do some research. First I looked at the
fringe movement issue that the majority of Americans disagreed with the
programs guests and accept the official explanation, and secondly, the
sanity and expertise of people like their guests who question the
official story of 9/11/2001.
First, regarding the
fringe issue, asserting that the guests
questioning the events of 9/11 reflected a small minority of American
opinion. I looked at the only polls I could find on these
questions, and the results were surprising. A CNN viewers
poll, which is not scientific, held Wednesday, November 10th, 2005,
asked, "Do you believe there is a U.S. government cover-up surrounding
9/11?" 89% replied "Yes," they did believe there was a cover-up by the
U.S. Government (9,441 votes), while only 12% felt there was no
cover-up. In a national Zogby poll, of May 2006, found that
45%, of the American public felt a new 9/11 investigation should be
launched because "so many unanswered questions about 9/11 remain that
Congress or an International Tribunal should re-investigate the
attacks, including whether any US government officials consciously
allowed or helped facilitate their success." An earlier Zogby
poll of New York City residents, from August of 2004, found that Half
(49.3%) of New Yorkers felt that U.S. government officials "knew in
advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and
that they consciously failed to act." While 66% of New Yorkers called
for a new probe of Unanswered Questions by Congress or New
York’s Attorney General.
Now to the second
issue the television media interviewers were most
concerned with, which was the expertise and sanity of the people
demanding a new 9/11 investigation, and some even suggesting possible
U.S. government complicity in the attacks of 9/11/2001.
Again, a simple google "video 9/11" search, provided a wealth of
information. This too yielded some surprising results.
One of the loudest
advocates of the most damning charge that "members
of the U.S. government actually orchestrated the events of 9/11 to fool
the nation into unpopular wars", was not a tree-hugging Green Party
activist, but rather a prominent Republican, in fact a Former Chief
Economist under George Bush, and professor at Texas A&M, Morgan
Reynolds. http://www.lewrockwell.com/reynolds/reynolds12.html
Google research of the
growing list of other 9/11 skeptics of the
official story, some "convinced of U.S. government involvement," while
others not going that far, but pointing out that"the official story is
highly questionable and demands further investigation," yielded
surprising results. Including a host of high level Republican
administration officials, defense experts, intelligence experts, and
respected scholars, as well as well known celebrities who are now
adding the spotlight of their names to the issue of 9/11.
Among them were:
Former Director of
Advanced Space Programs Development for the U.S.

So, now that we've
examined the two main issues of concern for the
television news interviewers, which was the "fringe" aspect of the
questioners, and the "sanity/expertise" issue, it appears those
arguments are very weak arguments, really with no merit at
all. Obviously tens of millions of Americans, according to
polls, want a new investigation into 9/11/2001 and have a strong
suspicion of U.S. government involvement at some level.
Obviously not all of the national defense, intelligence, aeronautics,
physics and engineering experts questioning the official story of 9/11
are insane or unqualified to comment.
This begs the
question, in the face of such obvious facts, why do our
media personalities continue to attempt to throw out accusations that
are patently untrue regarding those who question the official
story? When a television news interviewer continues to ask
questions and make assertions that he or she knows to be untrue, this
would challenge the expertise and sanity, not of their guests, but of
the television news interviewer.
The 9/11 truth
movement appears to be growing rapidly, and involving
people of substantial credentials and expertise. As
television and some radio personalities continue to behave in what
obviously is an insane behavior, what do we do? Can we get
our national media any psychological help? If not, it would
be wise to relieve them of their positions at least. I feel
increasingly uneasy about millions of young minds being exposed night
after night to comments and opinions by people who increasingly appear
to be insane, yet in positions of authority.
Of course the concern
here is larger. If there is any
possibility or doubt about whether the events of 9/11/2001 were
participated in by members of our own government, then our entire
democracy and world peace would be strengthened by getting to the
bottom of the true facts of this pinnacle event of our time.
It would be unhealthy to leave a cloud of doubt hanging over such
assertions. There should be a full fledged national debate,
experts from all sides should be interviewed on national media to get
to the bottom of this once and for all. Our Congress should
launch investigations into the physics questions that are causing so
many to doubt the official story. No matter where anyone
stands on this issue, this is obviously the only path to national
healing and trust.
However, this debate
on national media cannot occur if the interviewers
hired by national media continue to behave in an insane irrational
behavior, like "conspiracy theory wing-nuts." You see, too
many of our media spokespersons on television and radio adhere to a
wild conspiracy theory. Their theory is that anyone who looks
into the facts of the events of one of the most important issues in
history is alone, and insane, but yet somehow organized in some united
conspiratorial effort. Of course, the facts fly in the face
of this conspiracy theory, but these media personalities appear unable
to grasp reality even when it is pointed out to them.
For media reading this
article, time will tell whether you are an
insane conspiracy theorist or not. If you too, are among the
insane in our media, the public will likely eventually demand your
resignation. As one who writes sometimes on parental issues,
I believe it is unhealthy to have insane people in charge of the
national information highways our children are taught to
watch. We need sane media people who look at facts regarding
issues, not ones who launch into insane screeds of paranoia to avoid
reality.
Also, you may recall
that when I contacted State Representative,
Stephen Nass' office, his aid stated that they were aware of
but not interested in and would not look at the physics facts provided
by the website Scholars for 9/11 Truth, www.st911.org.
However, they did want to fire a university teacher for presenting
facts, many of which were available on that site. To fire
someone for presenting facts, facts that you dispute, yet have no idea
what those facts are, and are unwilling to look at them to find out
what they are . . . is also insane. Again, as someone who
writes on parenting issues, as a concerned parent as well, America
should also consider retiring our insane government officials who fire
people for facts they aren't aware of and are unwilling to look
at. These politicians apparently assert some wild conspiracy
theory that millions of Americans are questioning the events of 9/11
because they are "Bush haters" according to the aid at Nass' office.
This kind of delusional paranoia by our elected officials is
of particular concern. Such wild eyed conspiratorialists
should not be allowed in government.
