On 9/11 Bullshit

Kevin Barrett

“It is just this lack of connection to a concern with truth – this indifference to how things really are – that I regard as of the essence of bullshit.”  Henry G. Frankfurt, On Bullshit p. 33-34 America is drowning in 9/11 bullshit. I’m not talking about the “conspiracy theories” that Cass Sunstein deplores. Nor am I talking about the Official Conspiracy Theory (OCT) per se. Yes, the OCT is bullshit. But only 16% of Americans believe the OCT. That mentally-challenged minority is not the problem. The problem is that the 84% that doesn’t believe the OCT – most of…

Hamza Yusuf and Yusuf Estes: “Diplomatic” truth-seekers?

Kevin Barrett

by Kevin Barrett, www.TruthJihad.com A Muslima for 9/11 truth, who helped us personally deliver 9/11 truth materials to Sheikh Hamza Yusuf’s Zaytuna Institute, recently forwarded a video of the Sheikh’s passionate defense of truth and justice, and suggested that M911T may have helped inspire this kind of speech: Unfortunately, Hamza Yusuf apparently has not yet publicly spoken out for 9/11 truth, even though in the above video he does excoriate CIA drug dealing. He may be concerned that if he took a public pro-9/11-truth stance, his effort to establish Zaytuna University as the first Muslim university in the USA would…

Kevin Barrett

Please join me in writing an Amazon.com review of David Ray Griffin’s Cognitive Infiltration: An Obama Appointee’s Plan to Undermine the 9/11 Conspiracy Theory. -KB An Account of My Recent Illness(es) David Ray Griffin I experienced some serious illnesses during June and July that almost resulted in my death.

The Tea Party Movement Began with 9/11 Truth

Kevin Barrett

Thanks to Jerry Mazza for reminding us that the Tea Party movement began with the Boston Tea Party for 9/11 Truth of 2006 and the follow-up of 2007.  I have fond memories of both. Funny how the corporate media refused to report on these monumentally important events.  I doubt if one in a thousand tea partiers knows where the movement started, or understands how badly it has been co-opted by the neocons.

Why They HATE Hearing the Truth About 9/11

Kevin Barrett

Why do so many people throw their hands over their ears and let out a scream of horror when confronted with the evidence that 9/11 was an inside job? Laura Knight-Jadczyk, last night’s radio show guest, cited research showing that when people are given negative information about their leaders, the brain’s emotional circuits override the cognitive ones; a blast of bad neurochemicals triggers a negative emotional state, which is only relieved by positive emotions when the person figures out a way – no matter how irrational – to discount the information. In other words, when we offer someone evidence that…

Sunlight Disinfects Sunstein – Now Bring on the War Crimes Tribunals

Kevin Barrett

Cass Sunstein argues that the government should infiltrate 9/11 truth groups, “disable” 9/11 “conspiracy purveyors,” and thereby promote the spread of “beneficial cognitive diversity.” To my readers, David Ray Griffin’s new book Cognitive Infiltration is absolutely brilliant. It elegantly does several things at once: * Puts forward  key 9/11 evidence; * Reveals the slightly hilarious inadequacy of the  official story defenders’ case,  as exemplified by Cass Sunstein’s “Conspiracy Theories” article; * Uses irony to demolish the neocons’ philosophy of the noble lie — the philosophy that in all probability led directly to the 9/11 inside job. David has been out…

9/11 truth OWNS Bobfest!

Kevin Barrett

September 11th, 2010Baraboo, WI The top of the hierarchy that puts on Fighting Bob Fest — Wisconsin’s premiere left-progressive annual festival — includes a few 9/11 gatekeepers. But on Saturday, September 11th, 2010, the gate was busted down and the sheep stormed boldly out of the pen, as Wisconsin’s dedicated 9/11 activists managed to get their message out to the thousands of festival-goers…and discovered a sympathetic, responsive, and 9/11-truth-savvy audience. A big 9/11 truth booth (complete with looping videos and mega-banners) was mobbed the whole day, thousands of 9/11 truth DVDs and AE911Truth brochures were given away, dozens of books…

Stanley’s Fish Tale

Kevin Barrett

Last Tuesday I invited the well-known scholar and NY Times columnist Stanley Fish to join me on the radio. Since he hasn’t gotten back to me, I assume he isn’t interested. That would be fine — except that this is the guy who lied about me, and thereby helped trash my academic career, in a huge article on the op-ed page of the Sunday New York Times! Below is my email to Fish. I’m not holding my breath waiting for a reply. -KB Dear Stanley Fish, I saw your article about the 9/11 conference in the Catskills, and would like…

Steven Jones Interview Goes Blooey: Coincidence or Sabotage?

Kevin Barrett

Physicist Steven Jones, along with several other respected scientists from various nations, is about to publish a paper in a mainstream scientific journal that will, for all intents and purposes, prove that “advanced energetic materials” (nanothermates) were used in the controlled demolition of the World Trade Center. (Links to his work here.) Somebody apparently doesn’t want that information publicized. When I interviewed Dr. Jones for my radio show “Fair and Balanced” yesterday, the strangest things happened. As I dialed the 800 number to establish my connection to the radio network, I heard some very strange sizzles and pops on the…
