bosses
MP3: Alex Jones Responds to the History Channel Hit Piece
The History Channel 9/11 special that
aired last night was by far the worst hit piece we have ever
witnessed, a completely savage, dishonest and deceptive abomination,
replete with dirty tricks, malicious lies and a level of
journalistic fraud that goes way beyond simple bias.
Bradley Davis, the producer of 9/11 Conspiracies: Fact Or
Fiction, is a paid liar and a hit piece specialist who deceives
people by gaining their confidence and then attacking them behind
their back.
He is famous for the smear job documentary on Michael Jackson
and makes a career out of conning people and then stabbing them in
the back. His tongue is so smooth, that even the
Loose Change
crew were prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt on his
impartiality before last night's hit piece was aired, with Davis
having tricked them into believing he was a friend.
Before filming began, Alex Jones asked Davis point blank if
the documentary was going to be a hit piece, which Davis denied.
After we brought attention to the History Channel's blurb on their
website, which clearly characterized the show as a hit piece, Davis
panicked and promised to alter the promo, calling it a
"misrepresentation," as well as re-edit the entire program to make
it more balanced. The promo temporarily disappeared from the website
and the broadcast of the show was put back by a week.
During the course of this second exchange, Davis again promised
Jones that the show was not going to be a hit piece and was very
upset that we had discovered he was behind the NBC hit piece on
Jackson - seemingly frightened that his cover might be blown and his
next victim would be alerted to his scheming tricks. He was
terrified and kept repeating that he didn't want to be quoted on
anything he said.
Just like Popular Mechanics swore that their straw man smear
job wouldn't be a hit piece, Davis engaged in journalistic fraud and
complete dishonesty by lying directly to Alex Jones' face in
claiming the documentary was to be neutral just so he could secure
the interview.
Just like William Randolph Hearst, the progenitor of the term
"yellow journalism," Davis will go down in history as a liar
and a fraud.
The show itself was deliberately crafted, edited, shot and
manipulated to portray the 9/11 truth movement in a completely
negative light, while exalting the so-called experts to almost
God-like status.
The program makers pulled out
all the stops to hire nationally renowned NBC news anchor
Lester Holt (above image) to narrate the show, a trusted voice
that was utilized to brutally debunk 9/11 truth
representatives.
The debunkers, people like James Meigs whose scientific expertise stretches as far as being
the editor of Video Review and Entertainment Weekly, were
labeled as experts while real experts like Physicist
Professor Steven Jones were stripped of any such
description.
The debunkers' interviews were
pristinely shot and framed, with beautiful backdrops and
highly sympathetic camera angles and filters, whereas the
truthers were shot from bizarre positions, their images were
deliberately distorted and even the color filter of the shot
had been manipulated to make their appearance look tainted,
blurred and contorted. This was an intentional ploy and a
crude act of manipulation to detract credibility from the
truthers and violates all known ethical standards of
journalism.
The producers of the show
failed to offer the proviso that Hearst Publishing, the
owner of Popular Mechanics, also holds a controlling stake
in the History Channel (via its stake in the A & E
Television Network), therefore concealing from the viewer a
blatant conflict of interest that negated the neutrality of
the show before it had even begun.
The debunkers were afforded far
more time on camera while the truthers were sidelined.
The narrator of the show would
dismiss the questions and evidence raised by the truthers as
unproven or debunked in an ad hominem manner without
providing any evidence to justify the assertion.
The truthers were edited so that
only hesitant responses to questions were broadcast, casting
doubt on the veracity of their claims in the mind of the
unsuspecting viewer.
The show included a clip of
Alex Jones' appearance at the University of Texas, at
which around 500 people packed the lecture hall to hear his
speech, but deliberately and maliciously edited the footage
to include shots taken during recess, so as to make it
appear that the lecture hall was mostly empty. In addition,
lingering shots of empty chairs were included to further
deceive the viewer into thinking few had attended the
speech. This is journalistic fraud of the worse kind - a
blatant misrepresentation and deliberate skewing of actual
events.
In a similar vein, footage from
9/11 truth protests was broadcast but the angle of the shot
was always tight, so as to make out that few people had
attended the demonstration, when in fact thousands were
present.
Davin Coburn of
Popular Mechanics,
mirroring a dirty trick that was also
employed in the BBC hit piece, maliciously lied and smeared
Alex Jones and others in the program by claiming that most
of the 9/11 families hate them and that they are responsible
for causing the families more pain. Coburn and the show's
producers know this is an outright lie and that the majority
of the family members are asking the same questions as Alex
Jones and others.
Bill Doyle,
representative of the largest group of 9/11 family members
told the Alex Jones Show directly that over half of the
family members have questions about the official story. Alex
Jones and the Loose Change crew offered contact
details for numerous 9/11 first responders, firefighters and
family members that were asking questions of the official
version, but absolutely none were interviewed by Brad Davis
and the rest of the show's producers.
The producers of the show tried
to make out that
Loose Change had recanted their position on
the issue of controlled demolition, when in fact Dylan Avery
and the other members of the crew were merely using their
Final Cut version to focus on other topics, having already
covered controlled demolition at length in previous
versions. This trick was used to claim that evidence for
bombs and controlled demolition, which is attested to by
scores of firefighters and first responders, none of which
were interviewed by the producers, had been debunked.
Articles and text from 9/11
truth websites were shown, but the actual URL addresses of
the sites were blurred out, with the History Channel
obviously frightened that people might actually visit such
websites and find out that the program was a pack of lies.
The debunkers attempted to
wriggle out of Secretary Norman Mineta's bombshell
testimony about
Cheney's actions in the Emergency Operations
Center, by claiming that Mineta was talking about Flight 93
and not the plane that hit the Pentagon. In reality, Mineta
makes it clear in his testimony that he is talking about
Flight 77 (watch below video), "the airplane coming in to the Pentagon," and
this is then confirmed by Commissioner Lee Hamilton.
The debunkers admitted that
temperatures inside the twin towers were not hot enough to
melt steel, but claimed that they were hot enough to weaken
steel and cause the collapse. The debunkers uniformly failed
to address the fact that firefighters and first responders
described witnessing molten steel beneath the rubble of the
towers and they also ignored Professor Steven Jones'
scientific analysis of the iron-rich microspheres found in
the rubble.
The debunkers mentioned WTC 7
only in passing and completely failed to address why the
building, which wasn't hit by a plane, collapsed in 7
seconds into its own footprint after suffering only limited
fire damage from falling debris. They also failed to mention
why
news outlets were reporting the collapse of Building 7
over an hour before it actually fell.
The wargames that dovetailed
9/11 and deliberately confused NORAD personnel so as to slow
response to the real attack were completely excluded.
The Able Danger program and how
the hijackers were discovered before 9/11 was completely
excluded.
William Rodriguez'
first-hand testimony of explosions prior to the impact of
the planes was completely excluded, as was the testimony of
numerous firefighters who attested to bombs and explosions.
NBC reporter Pat Dawson
claimed that FDNY Chief of Safety Albert Turi had
only described explosions, not bombs, going off,
contradicting
Dawson's own report at the time which stated,
"Reports of a secondary device, that is another ‘bomb’ going
off."
After watching this two hour charade,
Alex Jones was left stunned and irate that the producers had
deliberately set out to create something that goes way beyond the
scope of bias - an intentional propaganda attack piece strewn with
manifestly provable lies, dirty tricks and misrepresentation, and
that the show's producers, and in particular Brad Davis, had
purposefully lied all along in order to shield the fact that this
was a savage hit piece of the highest order.
In comparison, The History Channel makes Fox News look
fair and balanced!
Framing Alex Jones as a demon and making out that he is causing pain
to 9/11 families, when in fact during our last visit to ground zero
most of the firefighters and police personally thanked us, is a very
serious allegation and we are waiting to see what kind of damages
will accrue as a result while we consider our next step.
As we expected all along, Brad Davis and the rest of the
charlatans at NBC, the History Channel and Popular
Mechanics, have pleased their corporate masters by unleashing
the most twisted, distorted, dishonest and savage hit piece in
television history.
They have shown their hand by
deliberately abandoning any pretense at ethical journalism and
delivering exactly what their Hearst "yellow journalism" Publishing
and GE bosses demanded - a bias, malicious, deceptive, and
manipulative tissue of lies and another reason for Americans to
disengage from an establishment media empire that continues to
hemorrhage viewers on a daily basis due to its ceaseless lies and
propaganda.
