7/7 Inquest: Was someone afraid to reveal the causes of deaths?26 February 2011http://terroronthetube.co.uk Nicholas Kollerstrom It is quite startling to realise that a special room had been set up to receive the dead of the 7 July 2005 bombings in a temporary morgue built on army land, the contract for which (see Note [1] below) arrived on the contractor’s desk on 6 July 2005, the day before the massacres. All the bodies of the dead were taken and placed in cold-storage there. Not until the Inquest, five years later, did…
An Open Response to an “Open Letter” from Eric Larsen
An Open Response to an “Open Letter” from Eric Larsen Jim Fetzer Eric Larsen widely disseminated a letter enthusiastically endorsingJudy Wood’s book, which mistakenly conveyed to me the impression thathe, the editor and publisher of The Oliver Arts and Open Press, hadpublished WHERE DID THE TOWERS GO? (2010) by Judy Wood, Ph.D. The book is actually self-published and not from Larsen’s company. In his zest to attack anyone who has been critical of Judy, he published an “OPEN LETTER TO PATRIOTSQUESTION911”, a marvelous web site featuring photos, biosketches, and statements…
Big Government Secrets Aren’t Really Secret
Big Government Secrets Aren’t Really Secret By Preston James* The BIG GOVERNMENT SECRETS (BGS) aren’t really secret at all unless you are a witness or attempt to be a whistle blower but then “national security” must be invoked to silence you. Typically a direct or veiled threat is delivered to you first or you find yourself served with a National Security Letter or in extreme cases, a National Security Signed Finding. (More about that one at the end of this article.) As Professor Marshall McLuhan once stated, most BGS are…
On the Ethical Conduct of Warfare: Predator Drones
ON THE ETHICAL CONDUCT OF WARFARE: PREDATOR DRONES* Jim Fetzer “A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm” — Isaac Asimov’s “First Law of Robotics” Among the most intriguing questions that modern technology poses is the extent to which inanimate machines might be capable of replacing human beings in combat and warfare. The very idea of armies of robots has a certain appeal, even though “The Terminator” and “I, Robot”, have raised challenging questions related to the capacity for…

The Misadventures of Kevin Ryan
The Misadventures of Kevin Ryan Jim Fetzer In what has to be one of the more bizarre twists of fate in relation to the 9/11 truth movement, Kevin Ryan, whom I have admired in the past, has attacked me for criticizing an article by Robert Parry in “9/11 Truth is No ‘Parlor Game’.” Ryan had already expressed his displeasure that I had responded to Parry’s trivialization of the truth movement in a thread on the bloggerbrigade and was apparently taken aback when some of those on the thread responded negatively…
9/11 Truth is No “Parlor Game”
9/11 Truth Is No “Parlor Game” Jim Fetzer A disturbing article on ConsortiumNews.com, “The 9/11 Truth Parlor Game” (15 January, updated 16 January 2011), by Robert Parry, advances the indefensible theory that the shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) was affected by the shooter’s interest in 9/11 truth. While there are good reasons to suspect that the political climate nurtured by the right wing may have influenced him (by targeting a series of representatives using the cross-hairs of a telescopic site, for example), there is no reason to believe than…
Who’s telling the truth: Clint Hill or the Zapruder film?
Who’s telling the truth: Clint Hill or the Zapruder film? Agent’s reports contradict JFK film, autopsy X-rays and other crucial photographs Jim Fetzer “In the midst of the mayhem the agents were calm, but ready to react in a millisecond if anything got out of hand.” —Jerry Blaine, THE KENNEDY DETAIL According to Jerry Blaine, the author of THE KENNEDY DETAIL (2010), his purpose in writing this book was “to set history straight, to leave a book for [his] grandchildren that they could read and know the truth beyond any measure…
The Huffington Hoax: Conspiracy Theorist Finds Himself Persona non Grata
The Huffington Hoax December 31st, 2010 By Bob Fox Like many liberals/progressives in this country, I was very happy when The Huffington Post was launched on the web in 2005. The left needed a voice on the internet and Huffpo provided it. Being a writer, I also engaged in posting my opinions on many articles at Huffpo over the years as the site became a force on the internet. But then I started to see some troubling practices at Huffpo. For one, out of every five posts I would submit,…
Forrest Gump on the Grassy Knoll
Forrest Gump on the Grassy Knollby Jim Fetzer As a huge fan of actor Tom Hanks, I have admired him in many roles, including Charlie Wilson’s War and Saving Private Ryan. I am also a fan of Leonardo DiCaprio, who became a worldwide phenomenon in Titanic. But I was distressed and dismayed to learn that they had committed to films about the death of JFK – in Tom’s case, one based on Vincent Bugliosi’s Reclaiming History (2008), and in Leonardo’s, based on Lamar Waldron and Thom Hartmann’s Legacy of Secrecy…
