911 Truth on the Fifth Estate part 3 of 4 - David Ray Griffin

Following the September 11 attacks, David Ray Griffin moved his focus from questions of philosophy and religion to ones of politics and history, specifically American expansionism and imperialism. He intended to write a book on the subject, presenting 9/11 in terms of "blowback" for aggressive United States foreign policies of the 20th century:
"Until the spring of 2003, I had not looked at any of the evidence. I was vaguely aware there were people, at least on the internet, who were offering evidence against the official account of 9/11... I knew the US government had 'fabricated' evidence to go to war several times before. Nevertheless... I did not take this possibility seriously... I was so confident that they must be wrong."


After reading the work of Paul Thompson and Nafeez Ahmed, he became convinced that there was a prima facie case for the contention that there must have been complicity from individuals within the United States, and joined the 9/11 Truth Movement in calling for an extensive investigation from the United States media, Congress and the 9/11 Commission. At this time, he set about writing his first book on the subject, which he called The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11 (2004).


Part One of the book looks at the events of 9/11, discussing each flight in turn and also the behaviour of President George W. Bush and his Secret Service protection. Part Two examines 9/11 in a wider context, in the form of four "disturbing questions". David Ray Griffin discussed this book and the claims within it in an interview with Nick Welsh, reported under the headline Thinking Unthinkable Thoughts: Theologian Charges White House Complicity in 9/11 Attack.


Griffin's second book on the subject was a direct critique of the 9/11 Commission Report, called The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions And Distortions (2005). Griffin's article The 9/11 Commission Report: A 571-page Lie summarises this book, presenting 115 instances of either omissions or distortions of evidence he claims are in the report, stating that "the entire Report is constructed in support of one big lie: that the official story about 9/11 is true."

If the government wants to force a lie, they use the media, FOX NEWS

[tobiasaurusrex]

It's a mixed blessing that the CBC is airing this. They go near, but leave out so much evidence that makes it undeniable that this is an inside job. It would not have taken much time to have covered, compared to even just the "truthers think the moon landing was fake" insert.

@jsmith28500 sorry, I should be a lap dog like you. Go sheeple go!

[empressofthefrench]

@adiostraitorobama This is a Canadian station reporting. I will bet it was not shown in the US. CBC not Fox or your other Zionist news reporting medias.

6:00 - 6:18 ... These people are disgusting. Way more interested in protecting the theory than protecting the truth. Shame on you ya old fart.

Between 1989-1996, several middle eastern men, approached me at Santa Monica College wanting to take flying lessons. I was working in the Admissions office. Their translator was a charasmatic man with a white mustache. Atta was there, I recall he was angry and I said "whats wrong with your friend?"...we didn't have jet lessons there, so we sent them off to other schools. The FBI post 911 did goto SMC to recover records.

Betty Ong sounds like a dumbass

Remember, remember, the 11th of September,

Claims of WMD and plot,

what was emotional about that call?  It sounded more like she was taking a trip to Europe than if she was about to die.
