Neo-Con Threats Force Virgin To Pull Loose Change
Free speech hating slugs smear documentary, link 9/11 truth with Nazi
propaganda
Prison Planet | May 4, 2007
Paul Joseph Watson
Virgin Airlines have pulled Loose Change from their in-flight movie
roster after a cadre of Neo-Con slugs, bullies and enemies of free
speech sent threatening complaints to the company, smearing the
documentary and comparing it with Nazi propaganda films.
"Virgin Airlines has pulled a controversial internet documentary on
9/11 from its in-flight entertainment system after complaints from
bloggers and radio shows," reports a technology website .
"Well, it didn't take long for Virgin to backpedal. While we fully
understand and support Virgin's decision, we also fully understand
that they signed a legal binding contract, so essentially, they paid
us for the rights to NOT show the movie," writes Dylan Avery on his
Loose Change blog .
But the complaints were nothing to do with scaring passengers by
offering a movie primarily about airline terrorism, they formed a
coordinated campaign on behalf of government boot-licking brown shirts
who throw their toys out of the pram every time anyone interrupts
their bedtime story - the government's official version of 9/11.
The source of the Neo-Con revolt was seemingly Michele "put every
Muslim American in a concentration camp for our safety" Malkin's Hot
Air blog, an electronic compound for Bill O'Reilly acolytes and
frothing Bushites who spew threats and intimidation whenever their
precious 'waving plastic American flags made in China', war
cheerleading illusion is challenged by anyone who dares question the
government.
"I thought since that since Virgin Airlines was going to give us a
'chance to make up 'your' own minds' with regard to the 9/11 attacks
on America, by showing the Loose Change movie in-flight, we all would
greatly appreciate seeing the works of Leni Riefenstahl so we could
'make up our minds' about Nazis," wrote one sheep California. "And,
how about all those wonderful German documentaries from 1939-1945
showing how subhumans are destroying European culture, and how
Germania is a bulwark against the Bolshevik hordes and jazz-spouting
American apes."
Playing the Holocaust card in attempting to smear 9/11 truth has all
but replaced the "insulting to the victims" scam that has largely been
dropped since it was the government itself who egregiously insulted
and endangered the heroic first responders in the very hours after
9/11 by lying and telling them the toxic air as safe to breathe.
This talking point emanates directly from Fox News and Bill O'Reilly,
who in March compared questioning 9/11 to Holocaust denial - which is
the numero uno of ad hominem attacks that debunkers have to resort to
when facts are in short supply.
Making out Dylan Avery to be some kind of Hitler figure might hold
more weight if Avery were in control of a powerful industrial country,
ran its media and commanded its standing army, but last time I checked
Dylan still lives in upstate New York with his friends and a dog
called Justice.
Virgin Atlantic finally collapsed under the weight of frothing Neo-Con
fury when producer Nick Rizzuto from Andrew Wilkow's Sirius satellite
radio show, had a "heated 20 minute conversation" with Virgin in which
he threatened to instigate a "media firestorm" unless they canned the
movie. Virgin were obviously misled as to the notoriety of "Andrew
Wilkow's" rinky-dink never heard of broadcast and immediately pulled
the documentary.
"Although the movie has been thoroughly debunked since, it has been a
huge success on the internet, and downloaded by millions of users,"
reports the Register .
Debunked by who? The very progenitors of yellow journalism - Hearst
Publishing's Popular Mechanics? The gaggle of government apologists
whose advertising contracts depend almost entirely on the military-
industrial complex that got fat off exploiting 9/11? The same hacks
who lauded their pathetic debunking attempts as politically
independent and yet had Republican warmonger John McCain pen the
forward to their book?
The official fairy tale apologists' sloppy ad hominem attack pieces
and error-strewn polemics have been debunked to kingdom come,
including in a fantastic new book by David Ray Griffin , but they
still delude themselves into thinking that the majority still believe
their lies, despite polls showing over 80% distrust the government's
version of events.
A startling referendum on who the general public believes on 9/11, the
truthers or the debunkers, was underscored yesterday when it emerged
that the government was having problems finding potential jurors for
the Jose Padilla case , because many of them didn't trust the media
and government proclamation that "Al-Qaeda" was behind the 9/11
attacks.
"A cottage industry of conspiracy theorists has sprung up among
academics and others who claim such things as that the U.S. was
involved in the Sept. 11 attacks, or that explosives planted inside
the World Trade Center towers brought the buildings down rather than
the jetliners that crashed into them," reports the Associated Press .
A cottage industry? More like the most vocal, influential and
passionate political movement since the 60's, but don't expect the
establishment gatekeepers to give us any credit, and don't think for a
second that they will ever admit their complicity and cowardice in
failing to out the lies that have led to the deaths of over 600,000
civilians and thousands of U.S. troops in Iraq.
The tipping point already passed a long time ago - 9/11 truth is here
to stay and it's only going to get bigger, eclipsing the feeble
efforts at intimidation and censorship on behalf of the all the Neo-
Con slugs, Malkin and her anti-American bootlickers included.

I vaguely remember being taught in grade school about 9/11, how our
great-great-great-great grandparents fought to save the White House,
that it was al Qaeda behind the attacks. Of course who can really
remember something that happened thousands of years ago. It's a little
like that "300" movie.

Wow! I wonder how they _forced_ a private business to do that!
Were they Neo-Con mafioso? La NeoCosa Nostra? Did they threaten a
tommy-gun drive-by? Did someone walk up to the CEO's house dressed in
a double-breasted pin-stripe and say, "Nice family. A man should take
care of his family, if yous know what I mean."
Of course not, so it must be something else. Hrmmmm. Did Bush issue
an executive order telling Virgin Airlines to pull the film?
Obviously not, because Bush doesn't have the authority to do that.
So I wonder, how on earth the the "Neo-Con Threats" _force_ Virgin to
do a damn thing?
[...]

SENT THREATENING COMPLAINTS!!!! Oh the horror! The humanity! They
DEFILED Virgin Airlines' mailbox with THREATENING COMPLAINTS!!
What did they threaten? What _can_ you threaten by mail?
to the company, smearing the
documentary and comparing it with Nazi propaganda films.
And they hurt the executives' feelings to boot.
[...]

A horrifyingly coordinated campaign .... of sending complaints.
Woooooo. Scary. Did they also spray anti-Virgin graffiti in the
drainage canals?
[...]

Ahhhh, so they weren't actually _forced_ to do anything. Rather they
pulled the show voluntarily because they thought one Nick Rizzuto was
capable of instigating a "media firestorm," which is to say more
hurtful words coming from TV and radio. Being averse to hurt
feelings, and irrationally fearing a loss of business, they _decided_
to pull the show.
Anyone, even this Rizzuto person, is free to say what he wants around
here. This includes your dreaded neo-cons. Malkin can write what she
wants, and you have ***** to say about it. Right-click, and minimize
yourself.

| Title: Al Gore exposed for being "an inconvenient lie" |

Glenn Beck Torpedoes 'An Inconvenient Truth'
In his special program "Exposed: The Climate of Fear - the Other Side
of the Global Warming Debate," Glenn Beck challenged the conventional
wisdom on global warming, firing this salvo at the opening: "This is
not a balanced look at global warming. It is the other side of the
climate debate that you don`t hear anywhere. Yes, Al Gore, there is
another credible side."
Beck begins by admitting, "The globe is getting warmer. In fact, it`s
warmed .7 degrees Celsius over the last 100 years. It`s not up for
debate, but there are questions as to why t`s happening. Who is right?
Who`s wrong?"
The program aired comments from many climatologists, analysts,
authors, and experts.
The bottom line? There are a host of people who know a lot about
climate change, and who are saying that Al Gore and the doomsday crowd
are flat wrong.
The experts speak, regarding the Kyoto Treaty:
MARLO LEWIS, COMPETITIVE ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE: Three-quarters of the
total expense would fall upon the United States.
TIM BALL, NATURAL RESOURCES STEWARDSHIP PROJECT, PH.D (UNIVERSITY OF
LONDON): I think there`s only two countries that are even coming close
to meeting their targets.
PATRICK MICHAELS, UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA STATE CLIMATOLOGIST: The
amount of warming that would be prevented, perhaps, is 7/100 Celsius.
PATRICK MOORE, FORMER DIRECTOR, GREENPEACE INTERNATIONAL: It does not
include China, India, Brazil, and these countries are all
industrializing rapidly.
CHRIS HORNER, AUTHOR, "POLITICALLY INCORRECT GUIDE TO GLOBAL WARMING":
Kyoto encourages people to run the hell away from it.
JOHN CHRISTY, PH.D, ALABAMA STATE CLIMATOLOGIST: There are examples of
Chinese factories that are being used to buy credits for European
countries, so European countries can say, "Well, we can pollute
because we`re reducing pollution in China."
BJORN LOMBORG, AUTHOR, "THE SKEPTICAL ENVIRONMENTALIST`S GUIDE": Kyoto
is, at the same time, impossibly ambitious and yet entirely
inconsequential when you talk about the environment. It will cost lots
of money and end up doing virtually no good. That`s not a good deal.
On global warming studies, temperature change, and the possible
effects (natural disasters, rising oceans, etc.):
LEWIS: Where [Gore]'s misleading is that he gives the impression that
this is something that is likely to happen. The likelihood of this is
next to nil.
DAVID LEGATES, PH.D, CLIMATOLOGIST, UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE: The IPCC
report is that the upper limit of sea level rise by the year 2100 is
going to be about 23 inches.
BALL: We now know for certain that the temperature changes before the
CO-2. And one of the fundamental assumptions that Gore doesn`t
understand is that in the theory of global warming due to humans is,
as the CO-2 goes up, the temperature will go up. Well, the ice floe
records show it`s exactly the opposite.
GEORGE TAYLOR, CLIMATOLOGIST: Most of the climate change we`ve seen up
until now has been as a result of natural variations.
ROY SPENCER, PH.D, FORMER SENIOR CLIMATE SCIENTIST, NASA: Politicians
and some of the scientists like to say that there`s a consensus now on
global warming or the science has been settled, but you have to ask
them, what is there a consensus on? Because it really makes a
difference. What are you talking about? The only consensus I`m aware
of is that it`s warmed in the last century. They completely ignore the
fact that there`s this thing called the Oregon petition that was
signed by 19,000 professionals and scientists who don`t agree with the
idea that we are causing climate change.
CHRISTY: One of the statements in the SPM was the statement that, if
you boil it down, it says we are 90 percent certain that most of the
warming in the last 50 years was due to human effects. I don`t agree
with that. I think things are much more ambiguous.
MICHAELS: There are two factors that most climatologists think
happened that don`t seem to be included in it, which are the little
Ice Age, which is a very cold period that ended in the late 19th
century, and the medieval warm period, around 1000 or so.
HORNER: Since the third U.N. report, for which this was the smoking
gun, there`s been a fourth U.N. report. Does anybody see a hockey
stick in there anywhere? I can`t see you. It`s not in there. Guess
what? It`s air-brushed out, in classic fashion, and they don`t even
mention why it`s not here. What hockey stick? I didn`t see any hockey
stick.
On the global warming crowd, and their intimidation tactics:
LEGATES: I think those people are entitled to their views, but in many
cases it`s not the scientific consensus.
BALL: Many times I`ve been tempted to say why am I doing this? If I
had gone along with the prevailing wisdom, the funding would have been
enormous. Instead, I`m accused of getting the money from the oil
company, which is simply a lie. I think that the truth is absolutely
paramount, and if we abandon that, we`re lost ... The problem with the
media is that it`s essentially become a business, and everything`s got
to be more sensationalized.
MARTIN EBERHARD, CEO, TESLA MOTORS: I think that anybody whose idea
about how to fix the world starts off by, "First, we`re going to
change human nature," is doomed.
Beck says he has had countless calls from parents whose kids are being
shown "An Inconvenient Truth" in art class of all things, and relays a
news story that a hotel in California that wants to be certified as
the first "green hotel" has just replaced the traditional in-room
Bible with an in-room copy of "An Inconvenient Truth."
"No one wants the Earth to die," Beck concludes. "But it`s what we do
about it that`s at question. And let me be clear: The correct
decisions will not be made when fueled by frantic alarmism.
"Al Gore`s version of climate change has no longer become science.
It`s dogma. And if you question it, you are a heretic.
"For now, all we can do is look for sober solutions in a world drunk
on hysteria. The debate is not over. I have a feeling it`s just
beginning."

"Attempts to torpedo" would be more apt.
Fact is the public believe Al not Beck.
Fact also is that rich corporate fatcats and their
thugs will continue to loot and rape the environment,
and when it collapses, and the climate goes mad,
they will simply retire to their multi-million dollar
climate-controlled homes that insulate them from the
effects, while the people have to face the consequences.
The fatcats will have loads of stored foods, medicines
and all the things that the rest won't be able to afford
to shelter them from an environmental catastrophe.

Every re-authorization of funds approves the war all over again.
Anyone who could lie about Tillman and Lynch could lie about anything.
What does it take to impeach? Torturing civilians? Lying to voters?
Overturning the constitution? Warrantless spying on citizens?
Overturning the Geneva Convention? Fraudulent war?
When will the public take their government back?

George Norry, host of "Coast to Coast A.M.", the top-rated late-night
radio show has been trying to arange a round-table discussion between
supporters and opponents of the "man is responsible for global warming"
debate. The opponents are willing, but the suporters won't appear. What
are they trying to hide?
Equal rights for all..special rights for none.
