Barrie Zwicker was the first journalist in the world to deeply question, on national television, the official story of 9/11. It was a great honor in 2003 for snowshoefilms to meet Zwicker in Toronto. We knew his courageous series of programs questioning the official story had cost him his career in journalism. Zwicker spent no time lamenting. He was organizing, with colleagues, a 9/11 truth movement, determined to expose the big lie: the false-flag inside job terrorist attack would be and was being used as justification for the 'war on terrorism', the war on Islam, the destruction of Iraq. If the 9/11 official story was so preposterous, how come it wasn't easily seen through? Zwicker, a professional media analyst, poses and answers that question in his book. He explains why the corporate media wasn't going to look at it. Another puzzler: Chomsky and most of the left academics and liberal media outlets accept the official story. Fear holds the populace in check while wool-pullers like Zelikow are able to move about freely, lying, dissembling and being honored. Fear and loathing keeps many on 'the left' (Nation magazine etc) from looking at 9/11 and its implications). Explanations /rationales for acceptance of the official story) like BLOWBACK are promoted for the middlebrow, as Chossudovsky says. In addition, much of 'the left' is funded by agencies integrally involved in maintaining a key lie, the collective cognitive imperative (see Julian Jaynes) that the U.S was 'attacked by Arab terrorist.' But what of those like Chomsky, not fearful of losing funding? Of 'speaking truth to power'? and so on.... Chomsky, whose method heretofore insisted on a close examination of evidence.... Um, well, maybe not so much when it comes to conspiracy. And how else but by secrecy and conspiracy are we ruled? - to paraphrase Ralph Schoenman. Noam Chomsky is often said to be the progressive world's preeminent thinker and analyst. In interviews, Chomsky dismisses the evidence in the 9/11 crime as inconclusive, as verifying the official story. The implications of not looking are enormous; those who are counted on to be our watchdogs, guides, mentors, analysts, miner's canaries are dissuading critique of the Bush administration and those who control him (and it aint just Cheney). Barrie Zwicker's inquiry into these questions is the substance Chapter 5: "The Shame of Noam Chomsky and the Gatekeepers of the Left". Snowshoefilms February, 2006 nerak yoryevrah

Zero: An Investigation into 9/11, has one central thesis - that the official version of events surrounding the attacks on 9/11 can not be true. This public educational documentary from Italian production company Telemaco explored the latest scientific evidence in 2008, and revealed dramatic new witness testimony, which directly conflicts with the US GOVERNMENT'S CONSPIRACY THEORY. Featuring presentations from intellectual heavy weights; Gore Vidal, and Nobel Prize winner Dario Fo, the film challenges assumptions surrounding the attacks. In the words of Italian daily newspaper Il Corriere de la Sera "What results is a sequence of contradictions, gaps and omissions of stunning gravity". The importance of this film can not be overstated, since its thesis is correct, the justification for declaring the war on terror is built on a series of outrageous lies. If you are not awake to the fact that NO PLANES CRASHED ON 09/11/01, then you are still UNCONSCIOUS to the Truth of this False Flag event.
