TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSIS

From Bob Feldman, Researcher of Foundation funding to left media institutions – Leftgatekeepers.com 2004 02 01:

Two years have passed since the 9/11 infamy, and where does the US Left Media stand on this issue as far as "Who’s guilty?" Are they even asking hard questions considering recent revelations coming forward from the so-called 9/11 Independent Investigative Commission? The mythical legend of the 19 Saudi Arabian hijackers and Osama Bin Ladin – the USG official narrative – is still being repeated as gospel throughout the left press as well as on Pacifica Network Radio airwaves. Meanwhile, a few courageous journalists bravely veer from the "politically correct" path, raise the question of USG complicity. As far as i am concerned, all the accusations coming from the left gatekeepers portraying 9/11 alternative analysis as "conspiracy theory" -- is a function of the same forked tongue duplicity they display on every issue. They posture the idea that they are the ‘alternative’ voice to Clear Channel [and] Rupert Murdoch . . .

Pacifica Radio’s National Political Correspondent, Larry Bensky smugly labeled 9/11 alternative analysis as "recreational speculation". On the same show, he interviewed an alleged expert on Chinese Fung Sui to educate Pacifica Radio listeners on how to cope with 9/11 tragedies with Fung Sui, in keeping with KPFA's New-Age escapist culture. The message Bensky is sending is that there’s plenty of time to pontificate on issues such as: how to take care of one’s emotional state, but constructive alternative analysis of 9/11 is off limits. Of course, Bensky will continue to shovel out his lineup of so-called experts to further marginalise the 9/11 skeptic position and needlessly continue to prop up the official story as the gospel truth. His show, Sunday Salon has recently featured Gerald Posner . . .

MoveOn.org is now promoting the Democratic Party agenda by exploiting the recent 9/11 ‘incompetence/foreknowledge’ revelation by the so-called 9/11 bipartisan Commission that the attack could have been avoided. The long term result will be "business as usual". Minimally, the US intelligence agencies will no doubt receive increases in funding because of the alleged intelligence failure on 9/11, but the emphasis from the commission findings will direct the blame on the Bush administration which will only provide a false sense of justice, and perpetuate the endless war based on a phony pretext – The legend of Islamic terrorists. One sure way to tame the anti-war left on the western front is to insist on Bush knew but allowed 9/11 to happen, which will only perpetuate the "Blowback" myth and the Al Qaeda legend. The blame will still be directed to "foreign" terrorists, while the terrorists running our country will survive unscathed. The outcome of this, if they succeed in ousting Bush based on 9/11 incompetence/foreknowledge, will be to replace a Republican with a Democrat to continue the war of conquest; based on the phony "war on terror" pretext
