PressTV domain seized by US government: Kevin Barrett & Scott Bennett Respond on Press TV

Why did the US government just take down all of the major international outlets that bring on commentators who challenge the official version of 9/11? Are they afraid to let Americans hear that side of the story during the run-up to the 20th anniversary of the false flag of the century? –Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor Press TV The United States government has taken around three dozen websites belonging to Iranian and regional news outlets, including Press TV. U.S. media have quoted unnamed government sources as saying that the Justice Department is preparing a statement on the issue. On Tuesday,…

Two Cheers for Trump! Religion IS Essential, Social Media MUST BE Content Neutral! (Updated with Trump’s announcement of executive order to fight online censorship)

by Kevin Barrett, Veterans Today Editor As the token “radical Muslim” here at VT I have a certain license to express a point of view that is not 100% kosher certified by the editorial board. So I’m going to join the minority-of-one here, Robert David Steele, and say something nice about Donald Trump. After mercilessly mocking and deriding Trump for almost four years, I am now shocked to find myself cheering for him. Well, not for him personally, but for two of his recent outrages: reopening houses of worship, and ordering an investigation (and hopefully a revocation) of the law granting…

Prof. Anthony Hall on internet censorship

Listen HERE University of Lethbridge Professor Emeritus Anthony Hall retired in October 2018 “because the university environment became too toxic for him to work in as a result of his having been falsely accused of antisemitism.” In this interview he reflects on the rise and fall of internet freedom of expression; the role of the Israeli lobby in general and the ADL in particular in censoring academics and activists; the question of “hate speech”; the false-flag-9/11-triggered war on Islam; the manufactured Hegelian dialectic of “Antifa vs. the alt right”; the accelerating divides between rich and poor, and between super-rich and…

Jonathan Revusky, Linh Dinh, and Yours Truly on Internet Censorship

Listen HERE FFWN recently reported on: “NYT devotes top of front page to propagandizing for YouTube censorship” First half hour: Jonathan Revusky takes a nuanced and ambivalent view. He suggests that defamatory big lies reported by various racist/nationalist types (like the supposed “Muslim rape army,” the alleged Cologne mass sexual assaults, “no-go zones,” and so on) are so bad that maybe we shouldn’t be too outraged if the purveyors get deplatformed. Second half hour: Linh Dinh generally agrees with yours truly that anything that remotely qualifies as non-criminal political speech is protected by the First Amendment, that internet platforms are today’s…

Linh Dinh on “Endless Culture War”

Listen HERE Linh Dinh is one of America’s best writers. He is now living in Dak Lak, Vietnam, working as a foreman in his brother-in-law’s plastics recycling plant. Read about life in Dak Lak, among other things, in Linh’s new article “Endless Culture War.” How did Linh get unofficially expelled from the American literary scene? “It happened step by step. I didn’t support Obama live everybody else. I’m not a Democrat, not a Republican—I’m neither. So it started there. And then I’d talk about 9/11. And I wrote articles about the Bin Laden assassination. I thought it was nonsense. There…

Elizabeth Woodworth on “9/11 Unmasked” (her new book with David Ray Griffin)

Listen HERE Elizabeth Woodworth is the co-author (with David Ray Griffin) of 9/11 Unmasked: An International Review Panel Investigation. Sociology prof Edward Curtin has called it “the definitive book on the defining event of the 21st century.” Alongside Curtin’s outstanding review, we must also mention the extraordinary review by another professor, Philip Roddis, who had always scoffed at the 9/11 truth movement until 9/11 Unmasked fell into his hands.  (Dr. Griffin himself has published an appreciation of Roddis’s review.) In this interview Elizabeth Woodworth and I discuss the Consensus Panel’s methodology and why it is important; which issues were easy or…
