The Great Conspiracy: The 9/11 News Special You Never Saw (2005)

Сюжет кино: I feel this is a very important work. I've always been fascinated by the corporate media's coverage of events like this (the JFK assassination is my specialty), and how our "approved history" is created and accepted by the masses.
Zwicker does a fine job examining how official stories take hold in the popular imagination, how reporters resist questioning them, and how even many "leftists" become gatekeepers to restrict debate. The chapter on Noam Chomsky is distressing, but not a surprise to those who have witnessed his defense of the official JFK assassination story. He also delves into the psychological reasons for human denial and self-deception about disturbing issues like this one. There is also a nice tribute to the research of David Ray Griffin.
Strangely, his chapter on historical false flag events does not include the USS Liberty attack, which apparently was done with the intention of blaming Egypt so the US could jump into the Six Day War on Israel's side.
Zwicker writes: "Once a storyline has taken hold, two universal tendencies emerge. One is to downplay or even dismiss facts that don't fit the story, along with the arguments brought forward to support it. The second tendency is to play up and make central anything that fits the story."
"You see it in on-line chat rooms. One person says he's convinced that the WTC towers were brought down by controlled demolition. Immediately, someone responds with, 'Don't you understand that 3,000 innocent people died that day?!' This mother of all non sequiturs is encouraged by the dark forces behind the demolitions. False-flag operations are designed to inflame emotions and overcome rational thought. The confusion reinforces the Big Lie."
How many times have we heard guardians of the official story of the JFK assassination complain that critics are causing pain for the Kennedy family, and if we were decent people we would shut up about it?
