Of course, Senator Stephen Conroy gave complete and satisfactory answers to all of Scott Ludlum's questions in the manner to which all of us have become accustomed in recent years.

rstuart: << Censorship is the act of preventing someone from publishing something they want to publish. What dagget was talking about here is forcing to someone to publish something they want nothing to do with. >>

Quite so, and point taken. However, I very much doubt that daggett/James understands the distinction.

After all, there's a vast conspiracy out there determined to prevent him from spreading the Truth. It's just like the X-Files.

rstuart,

Whilst you are entitled to uncritically accept the official US Government explanation of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, or, for that matter, their stated reasons for their invasion of Iraq in 2003, the story about babies being thrown from incubators in 1990 (http://www.prwatch.org/books/tsigfy10.html), the Gulf of Tonkin incident, "Yellow Rain" (http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?sec=health&res=9F05E5DC1139F93BA15752C1A965948260) etc., a good many people around the world do not.

These include, for example Daniel Ellsberg, who famously leaked the Pentagon Papers in the 1960's which exposed the US Government's case for the Vietnam war for the lie that it was.

Many other very well credentialed and credible people also reject the official US Government explanation for the 9/11 attacks. Some are listed at http://www.911truthgroups.org/911Truth101/Step2ProminentSupporters/tabid/633/Default.aspx

These include:

Senator Max Cleland, former 9/11 Commissioner;

Kevin Ryan, former Department Head at UL (Underwriter Laboratories) company which certified the steel which went into the World Trade Center buildings at construction, and inspected it after the WTC collapses in 2001;

Ray McGovern, Former CIA Intelligence Advisor to Reagan and George HW Bush and founder of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity;

William Christison – Former National Intelligence Officer and Director of the CIA's Office of Regional and Political Analysis;

Andreas von Buelow, former German Defense Minister;

Lt. Col. Karen U. Kwiatkowski, PhD, U.S. Air Force (ret) – Former Political-Military Affairs Officer in the Office of the Secretary of Defense

As it happens a significant proportion of the population in the US and around the world happens to agree with them in spite of the relentless propaganda in favour of the Official Conspiracy Theory. This includes roughly half the population of New York City.

rstuart, my question to you is :

Do you or don't you think that the Australian public are entitled to know why so many people, who initially accepted the official US Government account as I did, no longer do so?

(Feel free also to try to answer, Christopher, although I appreciate the great difficulty you seem to face comprehending even simple questions, these days.)

(tobecontinued)

daggett: "Do you or don't you think that the Australian public are entitled to know ..."

Of course they are entitled to know. That wasn't my point.

Sorry daggett, but in this case CJ is right: you didn't understand what I was tring to say.

After seeing your reply I tried to think of some plainer way to put it, but I can't think of one. I am defeated, as CJ predicted. It appears CJ knows his protagonists rather better than I.

Firstly, rstuart, you made two points and I understood them both perfectly. I was responding to your first point, which was your expressed agreement with Christopher.

In any case, if it is true, as Christopher alleges, that I am incapable of comprehending what others write, I would hardly be alone on OLO, now would I, Christopher?

The fact is that the Australian public has been prevented from knowing that a controversy even exists, and they have been prevented from knowing this not only by the corporate newsmedia, but even by virtually all of the supposed alternative and ostensibly left newsmedia.

It is not much more than a year since significant doubts entered my head about the official story. The principle reason it took me so long to question the Official Conspiracy Theory was that I had assumed, wrongly as it turned out, that the alternative newsmedia in this country would have alerted me a long time ago if there was anything suspicious in the US Government's case.

In my opinion, whilst online journals such as http://webdiary.com.au are entitled to publish or not publish what they choose, they are doing the public an immense disservice by deliberately concealing alternative views about 9/11 from them.

Not only do they not allow discussion of the issue on their web site, they even actively prevent their visitors from finding out for themselves about this by deleting links to web resources which question the Official Conspiracy Theory.

If you are interested to know why I have firmly changed my view on the 9/11 question in the last three months, I am happy to calmly explain why, possibly on the "9/11 Truth" forum at http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=2166&page=0#50196

About the only people in the last 40 years who referred to me as Christopher were my late mother and mother-in-law, and now daggett/James Sinnamon.

I think that the brain-dead 'Truth Fairy' is in good company with a couple of dead old ladies. Like rstuart, I gave up on James (and his sock puppets) some time ago.
