6. "popular mechanics" has proven it once and for all" Chertoff 's cousin
Edited on Fri Sep-15-06 06:19 PM by IChing
is as truthful as Michael who wrote the popular mechanic book.



Or the other one "the 911 commission covered everything including building 7 in the report"

"I don't need to watch Press for 911"

13. Chertoff's Cousin Penned Popular Mechanics 9/11 Hit Piece
From American Free Press

But who is Benjamin Chertoff, the "senior researcher" at Popular Mechanics who is behind the article? American Free Press has learned that he is none other than a cousin of Michael Chertoff, the new Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

This means that Hearst paid Benjamin Chertoff to write an article supporting the seriously flawed explanation that is based on a practically non-existent investigation of the terror event that directly led to the creation of the massive national security department his "cousin" now heads. This is exactly the kind of "journalism" one would expect to find in a dictatorship like that of Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

Because the manager of public relations for Popular Mechanics didn't respond to repeated calls from American Free Press, I called Benjamin Chertoff, the magazine's "senior researcher," directly.

Chertoff said he was the "senior researcher" of the piece. When asked if he was related to Michael Chertoff, he said, "I don't know." Clearly uncomfortable about discussing the matter further, he told me that all questions about the article should be put to the publicist ? the one who never answers the phone.

Benjamin's mother in Pelham, New York, however, was more willing to talk. Asked if Benjamin was related to the new Secretary of Homeland Security, Judy said, "Yes, of course, he is a cousin.”

21. It's a shame there's only 10 options in the polls, ain't it?
I assume you're excepting the coincidence of everyone involved in massive cover up schemes staying perfectly disciplined in their silence

9. From Close Encounters..
Government official: "It's not science, it's coincidence" and "I'd like to believe that, I truly would, but this is not the case"

It fits well with the "Coincidence theorists" even here on DU who seem to always believe without question everything their government tells them. Apparently there is no such thing as a conspiracy.

19. From Dale Gribble ("King of the Hill")
"Guns don't kill people. The government does!"

"Open up your eyes, man! They're trying to control global warming! Get it? GLO-BAL!"

"Hey, I know what's wrong with your truck. It's your quote-unquote 'pollution control'. I heard on talk radio you don't even need 'em. They're just an egghead government plot."

"That's code for U.N. commissars telling Americans what temperature it's gonna be in our outdoors. I say, let the world warm up! See what Boutros Boutros-By-Golly thinks about that! We'll grow oranges in Alaska!"

"I blame the media-blamers."
