I agree with the interviewee that some of the conspiracy theories about 911 are outlandish. Especially the conspiracy theory that blames bin laden for it...

compared to other news Realnews and Aljizira is allot better.

As a skeptic, I've tried to find a political slant in TheRealNews, watching several of their stories. Unlke nearly all popular media, I cannot find a slant, other than their willingness to present facts that are omitted by the other guys. It's the perfect antidote to Fox, and a necessary supplement to the mainstream. Spread the word; these guys are heroes!

I'm not sure if the interviewer or interviewee know, but this section is a very accurate description of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Funny. Not funny "ha-ha" so much as funny "holy shit we're all fucked if people don't start reading and thinking once in a while".

Peace.

This is a terrific interview. Paul Jay and his team are doing excellent work to illustrate the difference between news fantasy and news reality.

Yes, Parry shies away from the hard questions of 9/11. But this is because he, like most, does not have the INDIVIDUAL strength to go against the current of mainstream culture. And Jay does a great job of reminding him (and US) that huge holes in the 9/11 story and ongoing stories still exist.

My life is not a fantasy camp. I want the real news.

'War is the biggest business' dead right, mate. Interestingly, a lot of people (at the wrong end of the american empire's gun) who buy the official story, think bin laden is real ballsy for doing 911. He is in effect a salesman for war. Indy journo's reported that there were no border controls in early days of Iraq war- an empire desperate for an enemy. '911-bin laden did it' is a recruiting campaign for that war. Sure- go out and make a fertilizer bomb- haha sucker we own the fertilizer factory

[almansell]

That's kinda what I meant- but it's outlandish to blame him, when he's just one cog in a big wheel in a big machine. I am intrigued by the way the term 'conspiracy theory' is used. Although '19 arab guys did it' is clearly a theory positing a conspiracy, it is not a 'conspiracy theory' according to mainstream thought. Voltaire said that history is a series of myths that have come to be accepted. A 'conspiracy theory' is anything that interferes with the mythmakers ie the 'wrong' conspirators.

Ît's a fact that Osama Bin Laden was involved in these power-games that 9/11 were.

Don't dismiss the connections the Bin ladens had to the Bush family.

War is the biggest business of all.

[vvrp2000]

Clintons got laid, Bush started an illegal war and tortured people. If you didn't know better....which president got impeached. This explained the US and why we are in the shape we're in today. I swear I wanta move to canada sometimes.

The US connection with Israel has resulted in both countries being the most hated in the world. I've always been Pro US, but I can hardly believe that they would get involved with Israel to the point where they are hated by the world. As a result of this connection, excessive immigration, and the US governments attempts to strip their citizens of free speech, I think the US is on a major decline.  This is sad.
