The Capital Times (Madison, Wisconsin)
Kevin Barrett: Media are ignoring 9/11 whistle-blowers
Letter to the editor — 1/26/2008
Dear Editor: I am out of a job because The Capital Times and other mainstream media outlets refuse to report the news.
As a scholar, my job is to seek and report the truth, no matter where it leads. That is also the job of the media.
Along with hundreds of other scholars, engineers, architects, and former high-level military, intelligence and executive branch officials (patriotsquestion911.com), I have pointed out that the official story of 9/11 is a ridiculous fairy tale, contradicted at every turn by overwhelming evidence. But rather than reporting on all of these people, and investigating the evidence they cite, the media singled me out for vicious attacks, up to and including a death threat from Bill O’Reilly.
Recently, the former president of Italy, Francesco Cossiga, stated publicly that the global intelligence community and the democratic forces in Europe know that the CIA and Mossad perpetrated the 9/11 attacks. Why wasn’t that front page headlines?
Last week, the probable next prime minister of Japan, Yukihisa Fujita, grilled current prime minister Fukuda for half an hour about the controlled demolition of the World Trade Center and the staged events at the Pentagon and asked whether the Japanese police could arrest George W. Bush for his complicity in 9/11. Why wasn’t that front page news? Japan, after all, is the world’s second-largest economy, and if they are pulling the plug not just on financing the Iraq and Afghan wars, but the whole U.S. economy, because they know this country is led by 9/11 war criminals, maybe the American people should hear about it.
Also last week FBI whistle-blower Sibel Edmonds, who has implicated leading neocon ex-members of the Bush administration in the financing and coverup of 9/11, made front page headlines in the UK. Why won’t the U.S. media cover Edmonds, the most gagged whistle-blower in U.S. history?
Why have the media refused to report on the 120+ senior military, intelligence service, law enforcement and government officials, 290+ engineers and architects, 60+ pilots and aviation professionals, 190+ professors, and 200+ 9/11 survivors and family members who have publicly blasted the official 9/11 fairy tale — many of them openly calling 9/11 an inside job
As for me, my reputation has been ruined, at least in the eyes of the fewer and fewer people naive enough to believe the mainstream media. I can no longer practice my chosen profession, in training for which I invested more than 10 years of my life and tens of thousands of dollars, because the media singled me out for distorted coverage — while ignoring the hundreds of others vastly more qualified than I am who say the same things and refusing to investigate the evidence they cite.

Do you remember during the Cold War, the Soviet propaganda machine “PRAVDA”? That is what we have here in America today, not only the Main Stream Media, but all of the cable channels as well. You might ask, what about the printed press?, or talk radio? You see and hear very little from these sources. Well the answer is the old saying, “Follow The Money” Take a look at who owns the media in this country. People like Rupert Murdoc, and then of course, you have to take a look at who is behind this whole process that is leading us toward a One World Government. The Council on Foreign Relations. Take a look at the membership of the CFR. You will find most every President for several decades, all three of our current candidates, most all of the media, both corporate and individual. You will find most all multinational corporations, all of the bankers and finantial folks, numerous members of Congress, etc. WAKE UP AMERICA.
I am glad that a Newspaper printed this.
