The Tenther Grapevine
The recent Medina debacle on Glenn Beck’s overrated show highlights the obvious hypocrisy of the Beltway Right-wing when it comes to conspiracy theories. Conspiracy theories that question government action are shunned while ones that endorse all-out war are to be embraced and repeated.
I have one simple question though for anyone free-thinking enough not to immediately follow whatever the voice on the radio tells them. What “conspiracy theorists” are more dangerous and deserve to be shunned by public opinion?
The ones trumpeted by people like Alex Jones whose goal is to have the 9/11 attack investigations to be reopened?
Or the ones feverishly hawked by the likes of Sarah Palin, Bill O’Reilly, Newt Gingrich, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh that call for the American military to begin attacking Iran? The aforementioned talking heads of the mainstream conservative movement are the same voices who were mindless, unquestioning cheerleaders for Bush’s tragic, costly and unconstitutional war with Iraq (with the exception of Palin who was quiet on Iraq until shortly after McCain picked her for his running mate).
These people, who literally have blood on their hands, are now telling us that we should look with disgust on anyone who questions the official account of 9/11?
I don’t know about you but I strongly believe the guy wearing a baseball cap that says “inside job” isn’t a threat to anyone. On the other hand, the self-appointed leaders of the conservative movement, who have already gotten countless people killed and seriously maimed with their “conspiracy theories” while screeching for more war are the dangerous ones.

Time for a Reality check! Time to take a look at the big confidence game that is being run on America. Glen Beck, Oprah and Bill O'Riley, Rush and Hannity , Jon Stewart, Greta, Keith Oberman and Chris Mathews all have the same thing in common, they are entertainers. Their stock in trade is emotions. If they can cause the viewer to laugh or cry or better still, get really angry and hating someone, then they have had a successful program. They are not journalists. If you get your news from them then you are guilty of gross intellectual sloth. They only give you an opinion about a topic of their choosing.
Do you really think that Glen Becks and the Keith Obermans are that different? Both are committed to stirring the fires of discontent with each side accusing the other of all sorts of crimes and misdemeanors. The game is to incite anger and hostility between the right and the left. The big con is to keep us thinking that if "our side can win" things will be better. Both parties are corporate entities whose very survival is based on keeping a rabid base fired up.
I think they are all Judas Goats
Say what you will, no matter which you may belive or follow, the fact is..if any of these preformers cause the average American to start to research news for him/herself, its a good thing.! The great majority of us have sat on the couch watching mind numbing features on the "box" and done little to guide the future of this country, If any of the folks you've listed, have changed that, and whats happening now all over the country proves that out..then so be it. Once people begin to learn for themselfs and study whats taking place, they likely move on to to veiw or opinion thats suits their own thought. With out that nudge, to stimulate the mind we would be still uninformed. I am over 60 and can reflect back and remember when there were no conflicting thought/opinion being offered. thats how we got in this situation we find ourselfs now. We frankly went to sleep behind the wheel as they say. Nobody was making an "outlandish" statement that brought us out of the chair and planted the question , can that be true? , I've got to check this out. So, think we should be O.K. with them, they provoke and prod, and perhaps thats something most of us need to become involved again.

50 Senior Military, Intelligence and Government Officials question 911 Report
Many respected senior members of the military, intelligence services, and government have expressed significant criticism of the 9/11 Commission Report. Some even allege government complicity in the terrible acts of 9/11. Below are the highly revealing public statements on this vital topic of over 50 prominent public servants with links for verification and further investigation.
beautiful!!! I was expecting this to be typical propaganda demonizing the truth movement. Great job!
There is nothing wrong with people evaluating the possibilty of 911 being an inside job and basing their opinion on the evidence but so many conspiracy theories were always designed to point the finger at the Bush administration. It was like once you proved that Osama did it they turned their diatribe to Bush allowed it to happen and once you dissproved that they tried to link Bush to it in someway. It was fucking stupid the whole time and was perpetrated by those who hated Bush.
I personally don't believe 911 was an inside job because I haven't seen any evidence of it so far so my conclusion is that it was Osama.
Now on the other hand, Obama birth certificate...just kidding.
Thank you Patrick!! The persecution of anyone questioning the Iron Triangle (corp/media/gov)is 100% admission of guilt. They have hundreds of millions for stains on Lewinsky's dress, imagine if that kind of resource was applied to disecting the Iron Triangle (ie The C@r1y1e Group, H@11!b#rton and P@ki, I5re@1i, and S@udi ties).
