The Silent Silent Media
What The Elite Media
Doesn't Say About The War
By Henry Makow, Ph.D.
"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act." —
George Orwell
America´s leading TV networks and newspapers are called "the elite media."
The adjective ¨elite¨ does not indicate distinction. It indicates ownership.
Every day, elite news sources compete to offer the identical version of
recent events. It is a mighty thin gruel: reporters masticate for hours on
the tiniest morsels provided by their stingy masters.
As with Russians raised on Pravda, we are forced to read between the lines:
A convoy of Afghanis is incinerated; 65 are killed. The military says they
were Taliban. To its credit, the elite media picks up reports they were
Afghani tribal leaders en route to the inauguration in Kabul. Who were they
really? Afghanis who were too "independent"? The elite media, with all its
resources, never says.
People who look for answers must rely on the Internet. There, independent
researchers provide a schizophrenia-inducing alternate reality.
For example, we learn that ¨9-11¨ is the oldest deception in the political
play book, evoking Hitler´s 1933 Reichstag fire which allowed him to assume
dictatorial powers. The war was planned years ago in order to build an oil
pipeline from Central Asia to the Indian Ocean. (See Zbigniew Brzezinski,
The Grand Chessboard, 1998). The new Afghani leader, Hamid Karzai, was
employed as a consultant by the pipeline company, Unocal. Condoleezza Rice
was a director of Chevron from 1991-2001, and even has a tanker named for
her. Chevron is the principle partner with Kazakhstan in the development of
the huge Caspian Sea oil reserves. When the Taliban refused a pipeline
right- of-way, the US threatened,"if we can't bury you in gold, we'll bury
you in bombs." See this story in South Asian Outlook.
What follows is a sampler from a few more web sites. This is a more
nourishing stew but buyer beware!
Peter Goodgame has a fascinating essay,¨America Is Falling into an
Illuminati Trap¨ which says Osama Bin Ladin is a pawn of global elites who
use Islamic terrorism to undermine nation states (eg. US, Israel, India,
Pakistan) and bring about elite-controlled world government. Many Islamic
terror groups are still head quartered in London and some are trained there
by ¨former British army officers.¨
He cites an interview with Dr. Tatyana Koryagina, a member of Russian
President Putin´s brain trust who said the Sept. 11 strike was aimed at "the
de stabilization and destruction of America.¨
She said the operation was not the work of 19 terrorists but a larger group
seeking to reshape the world. She claimed a group of extremely powerful
private persons, with total assets of about $300 trillion, intends to
legalize its power and to become the new world government. The Sept. 11 strikes "showed that this group is afraid of nothing: human lives have zero value for them.¨
A story by Carl Cameron, a senior correspondent with Fox News is an
illustration of what happens when the elite media stray from the beaten
path. This story documents massive Israeli spying in the US including the
arrest of 200 Israelis. This spying would have given Israel foreknowledge of
Sept. 11. And if Israel knew, others must have known. This story apparently
was suppressed from the Fox News Archives. Inquiries are greeted with the
notice:¨This story does not exist.¨ It can now be found here.
Another web site,"What Really Happened" contains much provocative
information. Here are some examples:
A growing number of fire protection engineers have theorized that "the
structural damage from the planes and the explosive ignition of jet fuel in
themselves were not enough to bring down the towers." Fire Engineering
Magazine is calling for an inquiry.
Three articles that appeared in the international press prior to Sept. 11
state that the US had secured Indian and Russian support for a war against
the Taliban as early as last March.
The names of the alleged hijackers released by the FBI do not even appear on
the published passenger lists of the four hijacked flights.
Indeed the passenger lists are notable for the scarcity of any Arabic
sounding names. The web site gives the passenger lists, and says seven of
the alleged hijackers were found alive and well in the Middle East:
¨Because the IDs used by the hijackers were phony, we cannot know who they
really were or who they really worked for... Not only does the drinking in
strip bars not fit the profile of a fanatically religious Muslim willing to
die for his cause, but the witness reports of the men in the bars are of men
going out of their way to be noticed and remembered, while waving around
phony identifications.¨
Investigator Michael C. Ruppert´s web site has much important information
including a story which traces huge speculation in United Airlines put
options, in advance of Sept. 11, to a firm connected to the top echelons of
the CIA. A companion piece suggests that under the UN, opium poppy
production will soon be up and running again.
Ruppert, a former LAPD investigator, has begun a speaking tour to expose the
current war on terror as a hoax. Noam Chomsky has a book entitled 9-11 which
is reviewed by a former WTC employee on Barnes and Noble, as follows:¨ You
will learn more about the September 11th attacks from this little book than
you will from watching Fox News for 100 years.´´
William Thomas also has a important book All Fall Down: The Politics of
Terror and Mass Persuasion which describes the events of Sept. 11 as a
¨silent coup in America.¨ There is a another great web site with links to
pictures of smoke pouring out of one WTC tower before the plane crash.
Conservatives should consider what these people are saying. If they are
correct, the old divisions between Left and Right are obsolete.
We may now face a brazen seizure of dictatorial power by the elites.
Most patriotic Americans, including some members of the Bush administration,
may not realize what is happening.
Furthermore, as the facts of 9-11 emerge, I sense a new anti-war movement
will swell the ranks of the anti globalization cause. It will make the
Kennedy Assassination and the anti-Vietnam protests look like picnics. Will
opponents of the ¨war on terror¨ also be branded terrorists?
Finally, recent events prove that information is power. The elite media has
shown itself to be a cringing servant of power, and an effective instrument
of propaganda and social control.
The Internet may be our only source of information, and our only hope for
the preservation of freedom.
