Robert Parry: 911's Dark window to the Future (Stunning, he nails it!!!)
Stunning!

9/11's Dark Window to the Future


By Robert Parry
September 11, 2006

http://www.consortiumnews.com/2006/091106.html


As the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks unfolds, it has come to look less like a sad remembrance of the past and more like a troubling glimpse into the future, a window to a new-age totalitarianism that looms before the United States, where a powerful right-wing government tells lies aided and abetted by friendly media corporations.



So, even as the CIA and the Senate Intelligence Committee finally acknowledge some of the many Iraq War falsehoods told by George W. Bush and his senior advisers, Bush’s misfeasance and malfeasance are obscured by Disney’s ABC-TV “docu-drama” pinning most of the blame for the 9/11 catastrophe not on Bush, but on Democrats.

With Disney’s selection of a right-wing director and with the secrecy that surrounded the project – that gave Democrats little time to react – “The Path to 9/11” also had the sickening feel of a collaboration between a giant corporation and the Republican government in power.

So, less than two months before a pivotal national election, with Americans increasingly wondering how the nation got into the mess it faces today, this joint project of Disney and pro-Bush operatives provides a narrative that focuses not on Bush blowing off CIA warnings of an impending attacks in 2001 but on events dating back to 1993.

There is no longer one iota of doubt to anyone paying attention.

4. like V for Vendetta, everyone knows it's bullshit and is waiting for
a braver person to step forward and put a stop to it.

if the Democrats mostly stealth campaign works and they get in office, they investigate and prosecute these guys to death, or they won't get another chance.

8. You're right. They can't play biz as usual, a club of wealthy men and
women who all get along, or think they do. That comity facade was gone in the 90's but the Democrats
are slow on the upbeat.

The reason we're getting our asses kicked is that we've backed off on this very topic.

No more, time to roll out the big quesitons...stick them right on the front page. Party unity
for a better America!!!

You are 100% accurate imho.

6. Parry consistently nails it. In my perfect world he'd be writing for NYT
Edited on Mon Sep-11-06 10:07 PM by glitch

7. And why isn't he? I wonder if the NYT has an explanation.
I know why he can't write for the Washington Post. He connects the dots and Len Downie, Executive Editor says his people have no time to do this. To much work at the bar, er those organic wraps at Elizabeth Arden take too much time, er, they're all just like Dana Milbank.

Parry is an inspiration.

9. They can't give any real reason, they'd be exposing themselves.
Makes me a little sick to think I once respected the NYT and WP.
