Towers of Deception: The media cover-up on 9/11 The 'left' media poses no real alternative to corporate media when it relies on corporate (or CIA, etc.) money. Is there any thing so insidious as these left gatekeepers?

DONT SELL CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY NURSING HOME
Karen Harvey, retired Chicago Tribune journalist (Karen Engstrom) and a founder of Snowshoefilms, explains why its a terrible idea to sell off our public nursing home. As a photojournalist in Seattle, Portland Oregon, and Chicago, Karen documented the inferior nursing home care provided by for-profits (and many so-called not-for-profits) when governmental supervision was lax.

![9/11 Commission Report bars 503 1st responder eyewitnesses
Within a month of 9/11, NYC fire commissioner Thomas Von Essen, a 30-year NYFD veteran, set up interviews with fire, port authority police and EMT first responders to record their initial impressions of what they experienced on Sept 11.
The stories of 503 men and women ran to 12,000 pages. Graeme MacQueen, a recently retired religious studies professor, read them all. In addition to the heartrending nature of many of the stories, the consistent theme was of hearing, feeling and seeing explosions, a controlled demolition. Failure to officially acknowledge this evidence is further proof of an inside job. MacQueen (McMaster University, Ontario, Canada) narrowed down the testimony of 118 first responders as especially court-worthy testimony. But he notes the entire testimony was excluded by the 9/11 Commission, as well as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

![Lies swallowed & regurgitated by left gatekeepers: McMurtry
(#3/Snowshoefilms) 9/11 should be recognized as a major turning point in modern history, in western civilization, McMurtry says. It is therefore of great importance that 9/11 be properly understood. The philosopher calls attention to the most prominent left analyst, Noam Chomsky, who is normally critical of established official stories, but holds on to the official conspiracy theory, the least plausible conspiracy theory, despite its many gaping holes. As such, McMurtry notes, left gatekeepers are blocking out the same things the official mainstream media and governments are blocking out which is...what in fact went on on 9/11? The absolute falsity of the official story is undeniable, the McMurtry says. Its scientifically confirmable; we have evidence for it and we dont have good evidence against it...its a scientific hypothesis...we can regard as valid. McMurtry recalls that during the Reagan administration he watched those in power telegraphing their intentions by accusing others of doing what they were doing or planning to do to the enemy-of-the-day. There are real conspiracies, McMurtry says: there has in fact been a conspiracy to rule the world, indeed, but whose conspiracy has it been? Who is now ruling the world, and how have they come to do so? So the fact that we get projected onto a conspiracy theory is just another repetition of an ancient operation which is predictable on the part of this regime. A key element in the continuity of anti-communist or anti-terrorist conspiracy is making the public afraid of being called a conspiracy theorist telling the truth or even thinking about such matters.
McMurtry touches on some of the gaping holes in the official story, then turns his attention to cui bono, who benefits? In whose interests was it that this crime occurred?

This interview was prepared for and played at the Vancouver 9/11 Truth Conference, June 22-24, 2007. John McMurtry, professor of philosophy and university professor emeritus, University of Guelph, is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
