KenH Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 The major problem is that the media is complicit in the coverup. Whether its a conspiracy or a **** up the government does not want us to know what really happened, and the so called free press has done very little to try and find out. The odd article here and there is just not good enough. Its a recurrent problem which basically lies in the fact that a large percentage of the media is owned by multinational corporations with vested interests. The rest of the media which is supposedly independent relies hugely on advertising for its revenue, advertising by the same multinational corporations! The point I'm trying to make is that knowledge is power and that to give 'the people' knowledge through accurate, truthful, and non biased reporting would be disastrous for those in power as we might actually start questioning either their competence or their motives! Whether or not 9/11 is a huge conspiracy we will never know the truth because nobody is prepared to tell us. Its simply not in their interests. The truth is a dangerous thing, and should not be taken lightly. Look behind you, the men in black are watching you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarSparkle Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Thanks for that Mulder, give my regards to Scully. And just what part of the post are you referring to with that comment? What Hanskiz says is completely sound. To think the world is not like that is to be very naive. StarSparkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for a conspiracy involving the media, never heard of Fahrenheit 9/11, winner of Best Picture at Cannes 2004. The rather pathetic film made by Michael Moore? Yes, of course I've heard of it. And? Are you trying to say the existence of such a film is evidence that the media keeps a watchful eye on what the political elite get up to to maintain their power, and will blow the whistle on them when needed? Get real pal. Not a hope. StarSparkle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My naming of it was not an endorsement, just an example that the subject has been covered. Oh and by the way I'm not your pal, pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
