A message to Matt Taibbi:
Recently Truthout published an exclusive report based on documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act and an interview with a former high-ranking counterterrorism official that showed how a little-known military intelligence unit, unbeknownst to the various investigative bodies probing the terrorist attacks, was ordered by senior [...]

This is pretty fascinating – Geraldo Rivera takes on the conspiracy theorizing about Building 7 and says, “It is an intriguing topic, I certainly am much more open minded about it than I was, and it is because of the involvement of the 9/11 families and all of these engineers and architects…” The irony [...]

This is pretty interesting (via Disinfo).  I don’t think the 9-11 truth supporters are exactly effective because it just becomes a town hall yelling match, but it bears repeating: conspiracies happen.  For one, Watergate.  The official story of 9-11 is also a conspiracy – you can say, it’s different because it’s not the work of [...]

A good example of what’s wrong with the liberal intelligentsia.  There’s an ongoing dialog on the American Prospect taking Markos Moulitsas to task for American Taliban, in which he compares the American far right with terrorists. I was led there from a Twitter posting by Matthew Yglesias who said he agreed with the review.  In [...]

My post about “9-11 and Consciousness” is up on Reality Sandwich. Amazing to me because I probably would have never written a post with this line of thought if I hadn’t first picked up Daniel Pinchbeck.
Unsurprisingly, maybe, some are pissed at me in the comments for even mentioning that “Popular Mechanics” might have a [...]

I spent too much time this past weekend revisiting 9-11, including truther topics and watching documentaries on the History channel.  I think I’m shedding some of my trutherism, mostly because there are as many arguments for as against.  Reading David Ray Griffin is persuasive, until you hear the Popular Mechanics arguments, which also make some [...]

This study about 9-11 and the brain is fascinating with some pretty serious implications:
In one of her recent studies on reactions to 9/11, Ganzel and colleagues scanned the brains of people in this resilient group, between three and four years after they had experienced the attacks up close. When those people looked [...]

Another aliens are terrorists movie.  Though the image of thousands of people being sucked up in a cloud of dust is effective.

Synopsis:
A group of young, mildly douchey friends are spending the weekend partying at a swanky hotel on the outskirts of Los Angeles. After a night of revelry, they are awakened at 4:27 [...]

A must watch coming this fall about Top Secret America.

Glenn Greenwald:
We chirp endlessly about the Congress, the White House, the Supreme Court, the Democrats and Republicans, but this is the Real U.S. Government: functioning in total darkness, beyond elections and parties, so secret, vast and powerful that it evades the control or knowledge of [...]

Interesting movie about investigating 9-11. Always interested to see how people work conspiracy theories into a work of fiction. Not totally effective because it’s basically a conversation between two people about the attacks. But it’s effective because it’s about a skeptical reporter looking for info, rather than the non-skeptical point of view [...]
