LETTER: On fake news

The information at ae911truth.org and elsewhere has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that 9/11 was an inside job. All it takes to discover the truth is to review the evidence others have researched and uncovered. The implications are breathtaking. Once you understand the truth of what happened on 9/11, what happened since then begins to make sense. It’s not a pleasant truth, but there will be no healing until the truth is generally known and accounted for. The size and scope of the cover-ups is incredible. The number of those who are now accessories to these crimes is enormous. After 16 years, any journalist who covered or truly cared about 9/11 and still doesn’t know the easily accessible truth is essentially untrustworthy or incompetent.

Unfortunately, in America, money is more important than the truth. Telling the truth in this country is a dangerous business. It can cost you dearly. So I deeply understand why it is so difficult to speak. It’s not only journalists who keep the lie in place, it is every politician, architect, engineer, physicist or other citizen who knows the truth and remains silent. The lie about 9/11 taught those who bring us the news that now they can lie about anything or everything and get away with it. Their salaries are safe even as they knowingly continue to lie to us everyday about other things … like the propaganda about North Korea, Russia, China, Iran and all the rest. But I’ll tell you this: The fear of facing or speaking the truth is fast becoming insignificant compared to the consequences of remaining ignorant and silent. The lies are treason against life itself on this planet and it’s only one minute to midnight.
