Subject: RE: BS: Noam Chomsky on Iran, etc.
Love it when people scream "Tinfoil" and play the Twilight Zone music. That means they can't argue. But see, this isn't Limbaugh's program, where he can futz with the phone and pretend the challenging caller was disconnected.

Everyone reading this can think of some example where the conversation on television or radio jumped away from the War in Iraq or from 9/11 suspiciously quickly. That's because the gatekeepers get paid to... Here, I should have put this quote from above in bold. From the piece about Amy Goodman. It's what all good gatekeepers do:

They amplify what is not credible while excluding other voices from challenging the government's lies of the day...

The least credible explanation for 9/11 is that 19 flight-school drop-outs pulled off aeronautical maneuvers that fighter pilots later said they couldn't do. 19 men with boxcutters got Cheney to order NORAD to stand down. The twin towers were atomized so badly that no complete bodies were found, yet one of the hijacker's passports made it through unscathed. You don't hear Chomsky or Limbaugh talk about this stuff and the need for an investigation. They are paid to present the govt's version of events as unquestionable, then they go on to criticize each other. They stage little back-biting wars while they agree on the big thing...that the govt's version of 9/11 must be preserved as the "truth."
