9/11: Canada is life-blinding itself (snowshoefilms #2)

JOHN McMURTRY (part 2) In Sept. 2000, the PNAC published an article which observed that the "process of transformation...is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event -- like a new Pearl Harbor." The principal author of that article was Thomas Donnelly, who shortly after 9/11 went to work for Lockheed Martin.

In part 2 of this series, Professor John McMurtry explains why 9/11 happened when it did, and calls attention to Canadian media cover-up of the crime which accepts and promotes the implausible conspiracy theory. Illustrating the restrictions on public debate in Canada, McMurtry recalls the March 18, 2003 CBC TV debate between himself and Thomas Donnelly, who's identified as a PNAC founder and AEI "fellow." To charges that Donnelly was advocating war crimes by calling for and planning for the invasion of Iraq, Donnelly offers this mantra-like defense, "The use of American power in the world has been, as a matter of practical and historical fact, the sole reliable instrument, first of all, for bringing peace and stability and freedom to the European continent. Secondly, we hope now to do the same sort of thing in Iraq."

Within the media, the upshot of this debate was that the CBC producer who brought McMurtry on the program was fired, demoted out. Word of such corporate response gets around quickly and self-censorship tends to follow. Official media contributes to the life-blinding of the public, and itself. (Part 3 concludes with a structural analysis of the structural analysts). 10 min. snowshoefilms yoryevrah

Dude... im with ya on the fuck harper bit, but how can you, my fellow canadian agree that a nation invading countries illegally and lying to start wars that have nothing to do with national security whatsoever.

do you really think men in caves over seas are a huge threat to all of us over here with the best military and defense in the world?

The us is causing the middle east to become even more divided than ever before. Me and you will feel the repercussions of these actions soon.

To descibe this fellow, I am compelled to use the words, well prepared, honest, thoughtfully courageous, putting truth before self gain. In short, a man who is thoughtful and honest, brave. I'll stand by him.

I see a day coming where people like us realize that we always were the ones who were brave. Brave enough to hear the truth, and to say I'm not afraid of my government, even though it scares the living hell out of me.

The shit-streak fuck ups who toss out buzzwords like conspiracy theorist & un-American... the only reason they even know who else to talk to about us "wackos" is because they recognize their own fear.

They know all of this is true. They just want their damn chips already.

@RimlandThesis

War is not peace...you'll be singing a different tune when they put the RFID chip in your hand and remove your freedom, about 3 years away, maybe 4 for us here in Canada - oh yeah, and I'm an ex-soldier disgusted with cowards like Harper, Bush, Cheney colluding to control our lives. They never served their country, just stole all the money through Enron.
