CBC to air 9/11 Conspiracy Documentary next week....

[lefty_mcduff]

For believers in MIHOP and/or LIHOP, The Fifth Estate - highly respected Canadian news program - is going to air a documentary on the conspiracy theories re: 9/11:

"CONSPIRACY THEORY

On September 11, 2001, pilotless airplanes were guided into the World Trade Center by homing beacons.  It wasn't a plane that hit the Pentagon, but a missile.  U.S. Air Force planes weren't scrambled to intercept the hijacked planes that morning because the White House was behind the events of that tragic day.  Incredible?  Definitely.  Outlandish?  Absolutely.  But, there are lots of people who believe that at least some parts of these stories are true.

In a special season premiere investigation the fifth estate's Bob McKeown finds that even the most outlandish conspiracy theory may have its basis in a legitimate question.  In the course of separating fact from fiction, Bob delves into the labyrinthine and surprising ties between the Bushes and the Bin Ladens.  What he finds out may startle you as much as any conspiracy theory.

1. Can't wait

I'm right across the river from Canada and will definitely catch it. Ya think the administratin will try and stop them from airing it? Is there anything they can do?

2. As a dedicateMIHOP'per, gawd I wish I could see that. I wonder if

they're going to try and handle it on an even keel, or simply try to dis-credit the theories? Hopefully, because it's on Canadian media, it'll be handled with even-handedness.

8. Fifth Estate is an excellent program, it is very even-handed...

here is a link to their site, there is some very interesting material there and it will give you some sense of how they report on issues.

Maybe others could as well.

4. Ooooh Canada!!!

:loveya:

[TNOE]

5. Only in Canada?

Wish we could see some of these truths in our media.

6. Too bad that it probably won't show the one about the bin Laden

family being flown out of the country to their own safety.

BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO BE TRUE, NOT JUST A CONSPIRACY!!

9. Thanks for posting this.

Fingers-crossed it won't dwell overly-long upon the more outlandish theories. People who know nothing but the official story most need to hear the damning evidence of foreknowledge, the Al Qaeda-ISI-CIA triangle, the failure of standard operating procedure and the administration's cover-up. "No plane hit the Pentagon" or "the WTC was demolished" will not open any minds.

A friend of mine was interviewed for this, and came away with a sense that the team had an open mind and were, in fact, surprised at its discoveries. Here's hoping that won't be lost in the editing.

12. FYI, here's a review by a "Fifth Estate" reporter of "The War on Freedom"

This review of Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed's "The War on Freedom" was written a year ago for the Toronto weekly "Now" by Fifth Estate reporter Bruce Livesey. I don't know whether he's involved in the program to be aired next week, but three "N's" out of five is a good rating.


"Two months before September 11, Osama bin Laden flew to the Arab emirate of Dubai, where he checked into the American Hospital for kidney treatment. During his 10-day stay, one of his visitors was the local CIA agent. What the two men talked about remains, to this day, unknown.This story first appeared in the French newspaper Le Figaro, and is one of many tantalizing bits of history connected to the World Trade Center's destruction. Such revelations make up the backbone of The War On Freedom, a new book that lays out an alternative history to the accepted explanation for what happened a year ago this week.

...


"Despite its flaws, Ahmed raises an array of important political and historical issues that should be discussed.

"He just goes one conspiratorial step further than the research actually suggests."

13. Oh, goody.

This should do wonders for researchers out there...

See my earlier rants on two bigfoot researchers with alternate theories yelling at each other. I predict they'll paint these people as nuts. I'll be really surprised if it goes any other way....

[Minstrel Boy]

15. Ruppert sounds cautiously optomistic about the CBC documentary.

And this piece confirms that 5th Estate reporter Bruce Livesey, who gave a reasonable review to The War on Freedom, which I posted above, is involved in the production.


There to film me at the Walker Stage was an A Team production crew from the Canadian Broadcasting Company, well into work on a major documentary about 9/11. I had spoken with the producer, Bruce Livesey, several times from California and had been surprised to hear him acknowledge the accuracy of my research. He had also found material that corroborated my controversial work in the case of Delmart "Mike" Vreeland. Vreeland, who had claimed to be a US Naval officer, while incarcerated in a Canadian jail, had written a note warning of the attacks a month before they took place. He had also provided startlingly accurate details about the murder of Canadian intelligence operative Mark Bastien even before the facts were known to the Canadian government. Bastien's murder occurred well after Vreeland had left Moscow in 2000.

I will be eager to see their finished product.

Another gratifying moment came when the CBC took me to Ground Zero to shoot footage of me looking at a place I had visited twice before. As I was leaning over a railing, looking down into the still-stark ruins with the CBC crew filming me, a New Yorker leaned over and asked me who I was. I told him and I told him what I thought had happened. Without hesitation, the man, who had been there on that fateful day, said that he absolutely believed my analysis and thanked me for being there.

Times have indeed changed.

We next went to the Radisson Hotel where the CBC crew filmed an hour and a half interview with me....

17. a proud, all-Canadian kick n/t

[canuckagainstBush]

18. Uh oh

I can't wait to see the documentary, but I'm scared of the reactions south of the border to the state broadcaster airing this program. This could be much bigger than the "moron" comment, if the American media notices. :scared:

19. I'm willing to set my VCR ...

I can't promise multiple copies (for one thing, there's the copyright issue) -- but maybe we could organize a "watch and pass it on" chain for interested Americans. I'm sure this'll show up on Newsworld eventually, but some folks might like to see it before then? PM me if interested.
