Bill Moyers on David Ray Griffin's Debunking book

On his Feb 8 show, Bill Moyers alleged there was an "organized
campaign" to promote a "certain book" on the list of more than 2,600
individual recommendations.


Without naming the title, Moyers said it had been "disqualified"
from the list of books that the next US President should read and
take with them to the Whitehouse.


Many of us know the book PBS targeted for censorship was David Ray
Griffin's:


Debunking 9/11 Debunking , an answer to Popular Mechanics and
defenders of the government's Official Conspiracy Theory that fails
to prove the three buildings that fell on 9/11/2001 were collapsed
by pre-positioned explosives and controlled demolition of the Twin
Towers and WTC Building 7.


Griffin's book was recommended over 250 times by individuals as
Patriots -- not an "evil" organized campaign as PBS would have you
regard it.


Increasing global awareness that an "inside job" employed controlled
demolition as a pretext for illegal war that begat so much deadly
aftermath has reached the "tipping point" toward full-blown public
outrage.


Fortunately, one of several books recommended for our new President
is Howard Zinn's -- A People's History of the United States -- Zinn
is quoted on the back of Griffin's book:


"Considering how the 9/11 tragedy has been used by the Bush
Administration to propel us into immoral wars again and again, I
believe that David Ray Griffin's provocative questions about 9/11
desrve to be investigated and addressed" -- Howard Zinn

Commentary, by Claire Benson

The only way people unable to march on Washington to protest is by writing letters en masse to networks.

So, how I ask, is using the internet to do this any different from people organizing, over the internet, busloads of peaceful protestors over the internet for a march on Washington DC?

The only difference occurs when broadcasters such as Bill Moyers use the fact of the organized campaign to exclude discourse on the issue being highlighted by said campaign.

If one hasn't the money, the time, the health and stamina to endure rough, even brutal, arrests and harsh detainment, as has happened since Bush took office, this is the only non-violent way to get the attention of our elected officials, who rely to a surprising extent on main stream media, to the exclusion of all else, for their take on public opinion. Even with massive protests, the main stream media will usually, since Bush took office, totally ignore the protest marches. For example, huge number of peaceful protestors gathered, with their children, along the route of Bush's car to the steps of the Capital for his 2001 inauguration. Several undercover DC cops were recognized by protestors. These cops were dressed as hippies, and they sprayed pepper spray on some of the protestors. Strikingly, due to universal lack of coverage by main stream media, most of us never knew that there was any protest to Bush's 2001 inauguration at all. It took Michael Moore's film, Fahrenheit 911, to expose it with video clips.

Bill Moyers isn't the first to use stonewalling to keep politically incorrect discourse out of the public eye by denigrating those of use who see internet campaigns as a legitimate means for peaceful protest. The Star Tribune editorials manager wrote recently that he won't print letters sent en masse via internet campaigns, as it isn't anything like an individual letter. No it isn't. It is the only thing the public can really do when the many individual letters on these controversial and vital subjects are completely ignored by main stream media for an unconscionably long time.
