Project Censored has been Censored

This is telling. Considering the stories that are covered by Project Censored, for them to actually be censored, is amazing.

Last week, Project Censored directors Dr. Peter Phillips and Mickey Huff explained the difficulties to KPFA’s Guns and Butter broadcast, a favourite “progressive” talk radio show in the San Francisco Bay Area.

They noted that for the first time, pieces they had submitted to publication outlet Minuteman Media on the evidence for a cover up of the truth surrounding the 9/11 attacks had been actively rejected. Huff explained that since Minuteman media had been taken over by a left leaning Washington Think Tank called The Institute for Policy Studies, the subject has been blackballed:


“We’ve never had an op-ed piece that we were contracted to do rejected, outright rejected, and it wasn’t just rejected because of some contractual issue or violation,” Huff said. “We were actually told specifically from people at IPS that it was because we mentioned 9/11 as part of a piece on state crimes against democracy.”


“What we’re suggesting is that the events of September 11th have all the trappings of a potential state crime against democracy.” Huff continued. “So we mentioned the scientific studies done by Stephen Jones and the open chemical physics journal, and we included Richard Gage and the Architects and Engineers group, 1200 experts now saying that the official science just doesn’t make sense and just doesn’t add up, I mean it defies everything we know about scientific methodology and so forth.”


“They literally told us that they were not going to publish anything that talked about 9/11.”


“We were dumbfounded, at first we were waiting for the laughter tracks to come up and be like ‘Oh we’re censoring Project Censored’, but they were deadly serious.” Huff stated.

I think this piece is important because it shows how these Washington based think tanks co-opt media sources and act as gatekeepers. For those of you who are interested in Alternative media, this is important to know.

But that is not where the matter ended. Huff then explained that after being informed by IPS that their pieces on 9/11 were “too divisive” and could “alienate readers in the heartland”, they discovered, upon attending the IPS annual conference, that IPS staff had no knowledge of these developments and after reading the piece, were of the opinion that it should have run.


Eventually, the Project Censored team were informed by IPS heads that they were no longer welcome to write for IPS or Minuteman Media.


“And here we are with ‘the good lefties’,” Huff continued, it’s a story of the power elite, of potential mass deception and propaganda that gets us into two illegal wars, eviscerates constitutional liberties, bankrupts society both economically and morally the world over, you’d think that it’d be a huge thing to debate on the merits of science and fact.”


“If you have a free press structure, there is no subject that cannot be discussed.” Huff added.

"...to divisive..."

Speechless.

Listen to the interview below (The 9/11 information begins at around 10 mins):Guns and Butter – September 15, 2010 at 1:00pm

Check out the interview at the bottom of the page that is linked. There is more here then 9/11 questioning.

Anyway, consider the possibility that 9/11 truth is the one topic that could truly unite the entire populace against the corrupt corporate government. The controllers would lose control and the entire thing would crumble if the bulk of the populace came to believe that we were not only lied to in regards to 9/11, but that government has some sort of involvement in letting or making this happen.

No other story in Project Censored has this potential.

How ironic? Censoring Project Censored. Whatever you think about the matter, this should raise eyebrows.

Again, listen to the interview, it's fascinating.

Wow... yes... a private media outlet refusing to publish an article. That is pure censorship by 'da man'. How dare they make their own decisions. They should be forced to publish every crackpot theory because no sane and truthloving publisher would refuse. They must be in on it too!!!!

From what I read, they were contracted to write something, the publisher got new owners, and the new owners didn't want to be relegated to the crackpot corner. From a business pov that makes sense. The only way someone credible is going to publish a 911 consipracy story is if they have rock hard proof, and not one of these pieces that try to prove their point only by asking question of the 'why didn't X do Y' type, or by using populist arguments that don't hold any water, like the 'steel doesn't melt at X degrees' ********.

A private bussiness not publishing material due to image and bussiness concerns is not censorship. It is common sense. If there was solid evidence of a 911 conspiracy then most media outlets would publish the piece. there isn't. Its the same old rehash of what-ifs, so it didn't get published. just because an organization or bussiness is progressive does not mean it has to be crack-pot...though I know some will disagree with that

 

[Empty Hands]

But what about Project [Redacted], is that still OK?

Um, no. This would be the complete absence of irony.

Hypothetical situation. Imagine that the banks and corporations who have a vested interest in the police state and warfare state have an inordinate amount of control over our government. Now, imagine that these same corporations own and buy up most of the media outlets, either outright or through front groups. Is it censorship if this oligopoly determines what information the public will be allowed to see?

I think this just made a lot of people roll our eyes...

A metric as to whether or not "proof" exists or as to whether or not the official explanation is truly comprehensive is this...

The numbers keep growing and it's going to be harder and harder for people to ignore it as time goes on. If one signs this petition, their professional reputation is on the line.

 

[CoryKS]

It may be harder to ignore the troofers, but it's easy as ever to point and laugh.
