Designed to Incite, not Inform

Substantially form without content, this exhibit attempts to whip sympathy for a United States wallowing in the cult of victimhood into chauvinistic hubris for the War between the Cultures by stylishly presenting a potpouri of non-evidential and unsubstantiated artifacts.

On entering the exhibition three commented kiosks shove the usual grainy portraits representing the fait accompli of the alleged 19 Islamic hijackers at the visitor. Nowhere is mentioned their history of proximity to US military installations nor the subsequent survival of several of them.

On exiting, the viewer is served a wide-screen video of George Bush claiming the event is a justification for an endless war against Afghanistan and Iraq.

In between, one finds various crumpled firefighting and memorial artifacts but:

• No mention of the role of the CIA in setting up Al Qaida to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan
• No overview map or satellite view of the WTC complex that might provide the viewer with a familiarity with the setting or a view of the gaping demolition charge holes in WTC5 and WTC6
• No video footage of the demolition of either of the Twin Towers
• No display of one of the "meteorites" composed of a melange of melted steel and concrete recovered from below The Pile
• No mention, photograph or video representation of the existence or demolition of WTC7. In fairness, the destruction of all 7 WTC buildings by the two civil aircraft is noted, but it is left to the intrinsic, and generally lacking, critical thinking of the viewer to grok the spielbergian absurdity of such a militarily precise happenstance.
• No good faith effort on the part of New York State Museum director Mark Schaming to positively identify either the type or recovery location of engine fragments allegedly found at the WTC complex
• No photocopy or other representation of Satam Al Suqami's forged passport or arabic-language flight training manual used by the alleged hijackers

  HOMEWORK EXPERIMENT English is the lingua franca of commercial aviation, and all plane to tower communications and trainings are done in english. See if you can find the existence of an arabic-language flight training manual.

• No mention of the substantial body of work and evidence directly contradicting the exhibition's slant

Correction of these oversights, which can hardly be accidental, remains an action item for independent efforts.

Interestingly, the exhibition served up another peculiar coincidence for the observant, in one of the cycled videos of the tragedy in New York.

Here, anchor Elise Lucet is announcing that the live feed (en direct on France 3) has been interrupted, for a time of about a minute. When the link was re-established, just after the demolition of the South Tower, it took Elise and her two co-anchors some minutes to realize the tower, partially blocked from their view by the North Tower, smoke and dust, had collapsed.

The anchored segment comes to an end shortly thereafter, before the North Tower demolition, and the presentation continues with footage taken the next day. Thus, the Caen audience sees neither of the Twin Towers collapse, and hence is deprived of the obviousness of the violent explosions that tore the towers apart.

(Coincidentally, the video feed from Jane Standley in New York to the BBC in the United Kingdom disintegrated during the actual collapse of WTC7.)

(Coincidentally, viewers of TF1 in France were treated to an inserted Star Wars segment during the coverage from New York.)

Classic Dis-Information from America's Print Media

It should come as no surprise that the more stridently a media entity sucks up to the Magic Muslim Theory, the more loosy-goosy it treats the truth. (2MB .PDF file)

A 2002 puff piece titled A Nation Remembers, hailing Rudolph Giuliani as "the man who saved New York", contains essentially nothing of forensic value.


This photo, on page 42, might have been of some value to independent investigators who want to know what circumstances stacked "cars like a cord of firewood", especially since the top of one of them is caved in without the responsible party lying nearby in the photograph.

It turns out, however, that the editors have fudged the location. The intersection of Spring and Broadway is not yards, but many blocks, from Ground Zero, and neither Bari Pizza nor Rainbow Gourmet, the store the cars are blocking, lists current locations that help place the photo.

Since no official investigation questioned where these cars stacked, its determination remains an action item for independent efforts.

American print media would have us believe that

World Trade Center 7 Never Existed!

On page 35 of the same amnesiac publication A Nation Remembers, identically-staged before and after shots of lower Manhattan are presented, taken from the south so that WTC7 (small black rectangle at arrow) is virtually obscured by the Towers. If you were not appraised of the demise of this 47- story skyscraper by independent investigators, you wouldn't notice it was missing.


The angle of these comparison shots would not be particularly remarkable, but for the fact that in the entire 120-page edition, utterly no text reference is made either to the existence or collapse of WTC 7, either!

Similar is the Joel Meyerowitz massive 350 page coffee-table tome Aftermath, billed as an "extraordinary archive of pictures" that "is the only existing photographic record of Ground Zero". It is indeed extraordinary that Mr. Meyerowitz didn't bother to take a single photo of the remains of WTC 7 for inclusion in this "archive"!

Everyone knows that Rosie O'Donnell dissed prominent multimillionaires on The View. That caustic edginess attracted eyeballs to the show; that's what she got paid to do.

As any 9/11 skeptic can tell you, however, she also very pointedly broadcast her reservations about the collapse of World Trade Center 7. ABC did not pay her to do that, and made that very clear to her.

So please forgive us for suggesting that Parade and Newsweek, by kicking Rosie after she was down, are not only taking a cheap shot at a brave lady, but also promulgating an intentional lie calculated to mislead.

To suggest that the barely-literate Elisabeth Hasselbeck ("The force of the other two buildings coming down could alone take that building down") outlasted Rosie on the strength of her intellect is smarmy enough. Obscuring the demolition of WTC7 is not just "fun while it lasted", it's treason.
