Censored 2009: The Top 25 Censored Stories of 2007-08

You have got to be kidding me... Building 7 went down with no plane flying into it. It's shown on film. You literally have to deny physics if you can believe that's possible. The whole story seems far-fetched, always has been. Check out the opium production in 2001 in Afghanistan. Opium and every opiate based painkiller manufactured by pharmaceutical companies. The Gulf of Tonkin, The Bay of Pigs, etc...

Bob Dylan Multi Million Dollar Plagiarism Law Suit Censored By Mainstream Media Few artists can lay claim to the controversy that has surrounded the career of songwriter James Damiano. Twenty-two years ago James Damiano began an odyssey that led him into a legal maelstrom with Bob Dylan that, to this day, fascinates the greatest of intellectual minds. As the curtain rises on the stage of deceit we learn that CBS used songs and lyrics for international recording artist, Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan’s name is credited to the songs. One of those songs is nominated for a Grammy as best rock song of the year. Ironically the title of that song is Dignity. Since auditioning for the legendary CBS Record producer John Hammond, Sr., who influenced the careers of music industry icons Billy Holiday, Bob Dylan, Pete Seger, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Ray Vaughan, James has engaged in a multimillion dollar copyright infringement law suit with Bob Dylan. http://jamesdamiano.yolasite.com/

I'm very curious which exit polls they are talking about. I looked up sevral sources for the exit polls from the 2004 elections. California and Pennsylvania went for Kerry. On top of that, Rasmussen predicted the election results deviating only half a percent before the election. I think this guy thinks exit polls are more accurate than they really are. Interestingly enough, it was the "evil corporate media" (who were so fond of Bush...right?)who leaked the early exit polls showing Kerry was ahead (of course it couldn't be that Kerry had an early lead considering the east coast states were the only ones who had voted). Sometimes common sense is lost on some people. All the pre-election polls showed it was going to be close. Rasmussen were almost dead on, giving bush about 52% of the vote. The election wasn't stolen.

The project discussed is needed but apparently not without a bit more common sense and critical thinking. For example I am just a lay person but in 10 minutes was able to complete discredit the claims of an important news story having been censored by the MSM regarding the "new" evidence of nanothermite. When confronting any claim of cause it is safer and more often accurate to give more weight to the simplest explanation, one that requires fewer rare contributing elements. I read the paper by the Danish chemist and the wording did not seem to justify the claims that use that paper as proof. One reference when on to cite the existance of this substance in a US patent, which was enough "proof" for believers but the patent details, downloaded in its entirty from the patent office did not support the claims in the least and in fact supports the view of material researchers who said the mysterious red coated chips, according to the original Danish paper's analysis of chemical components found on the chip. The "truthers" say these chemicals prove thermite was applied years before the collapse. Using the same analysis and readings of the content of the chips by materials experts say those are the ingredients in red sealer paint. The Navy patent application specifically says the patent is for a more effective sealer coating to protect aluminum metals from oxidation. It is more than interesting to note that the patent application was dated March 2007. One reference to the patented process in the application said there might be use of the same process in aiding the effectiveness of fuels in burning. There was no claim that it did, just that it might and therefore the patent was not granted on that point, only the one that had supporting evidence. The much tauted "peer reviewed scientific journal" that published the paper is a little known commercial occasional publication concerning physical chemistry. The editor in chief resigned when she found that her good name was attached to the issue that hid the article from her, the editor, and that the commercial publisher accepted the placement of the article without informing her, without peer review and by deception. The article was placed by Steven Jones,a well known whacko in the truther business. The editor was furious that the journal was so discredited by such tactics that she and the senior member of the scientific review board resigned immediately. She said, as a long respected researcher in the field, would have rejected the paper as politically motivated and without bearing on the specialized nature of their journal. Now the truthers are going to complain that the patent was placed 6 years after its use in blowing up WT7 as a way to further the coverup. Common sense however, and evidence, shows that the truthers are grasping at straws and have a theory in search of evidence, completely reverse of the normal scientific method of finding evidence and building a theory that accounts for observation and evidence. If a layperson can get to the bottom of this claim in 5-10 minutes but the Censorship project couldn't, what credibility would they have? I am no fan of the propaganda that passes as news in the US, but this sort of claim was justifiably kept out of the press. Way too many people let their beliefs trump fact and evidence in the US. From my extensive travels, the US has dumbed down more than any country I have visited, the difference in critical thinking is amazing between Americans today(it was not always this way, even just 30 years ago it was much better) and other societies. It is embarrassing nowadays to meet people in other lands and have them assume I am stupid based on my nationality. But I find the same, any wild belief is able to overcome reason, logic, and evidence in the US. Get it together people, the rest of the world is passing the US by in level of general education, awareness of the world, quality of life, economic security, physical security and most of all, personal freedom. We are struggling with issues every other developed country and many underdeveloped countries have figured out a long time ago such as health care, illiteracy, keeping corporations out of political power, and quality of life. The US is dying because of self inflicted stupidity. People in the US are much more likely to believe in ghosts, grand world conspiracies, creationism, fundamentalism of all types, wildly improbably medical cures, that the earth is less than 10,000 years old, and many other beliefs that fly in the face of all rational evidence. How can the US even survive this trend, let alone compete with the rest of the rational world? I moved from the US, the SF Bay Area partly due to the direction into insanity the whole society has taken in the last 20 years. I live comfortably surrounded by a city of 7,000,000 people who are rational, calm, well educated, fit, cultured and most of all, SANE. It is really sad to see the US crumble from within this way, it did not have to happen. Lots of people throughout the world were subjected to propaganda but none succumbed to it so easily and so completely. Much of the propaganda is the unintentional sort, propagation of myth and insanity because no party knew better. Some of it was intentional, but there was no excuse for the masses of people to fall for it, the evidence is everywhere that it is all BS. The world is a lot more sane and rational of a place when you do not fall for every wild story coming down the pike. It is YOUR fault you believe what you do. Personally I do not care one way or the other about conspiracies, never heard one even 1/10 as massive ever succeeding but I do mind that illogic, science illiteracy, and pure propaganda rules the day in the US.

This was interesting until the 9/11 bullshit started to flow. This means they clearly did not inform and educate themselves on what this article talks about. They never state clearly that there was nano-thermite found. They never read the article if they claim that. I wonder how much is true about the rest then...

Dear DTM, I enjoyed your level thinking and personal approach to the 9/11 debate. I'm the same and as always hold out an open mind for new evidence. In my research there are just too many dead ends for conspiracy theories. Much evidence CTers point to contradict other possible theories and visa versa. I have yet to come across a colletive theory that could hold any water. I have only come across ideas or observations that might put a hole in the common held theor or "official theory." Building 7 is one of the best corner stones for CTism, but where I have failed to give it credit is how it places the fire fighters, who took the largest hit, central to the conspiracy existence. They, the fire fighters "pulled out" after trying to save the building that disastrous day after hours after 1 and 2 fell. They pulled out because of their "professional" belief that it was highly susceptible of collapse. There is a photo that shows a huge gash that is, if my memory is correct, 20 stories tall and third of that width and likely very deep. The belief is large debris from the adjacent WTC building caused it. That photo has little circulation because it does not support the energy in the debate -- the conspiracy theorists. In addition the world record for a building demolishen is about the size of building 7. Again if memory serves, it took 3 months to setup while the building was vacant and was considered a HUGE success in demolishen. Personally until Fire Fighters come forward with troubling testimony I am going to hold faith in them as a fellow Americans. I'm not asking you or anyone else to do so, I just wanted to share my journey. I also want to enforce the spirit of this video and that's transparency, checks and balances and unbiased real journalism and investigations. In other words dissent is good and I applaud it.

It's sad that whenever any 911 stuff makes it into these discussions, everyone cries conspiracy theory. While I accept there is a sea of crap to wade through on this topic, we should never ignore ANY valid piece of evidence, no matter how small the detail, just because it might make those "conspiracy nuts" right. I even accept we may never see all the classified footage- and for good reason. I don't think the government is in the business of handing out "new instructional videos" detailing the effectiveness of such attacks to future terrorists. This is why they only mentioned the Thermite in this discussion, and touched on the fact that "peer reviewed papers" are very unlikely when speaking out on this issue could ruin your career. Until I see a good reason for the Thermite residue, and explanations for the photographs from ground zero of steel columns that have angled, demolition style cuts through them, I will remain on the fence. How tower 7 fell when it defies all structural engineering literature still amazes me.

Extremely interesting. Regardless of your feelings on 9/11, there can be no doubt that we have yet to see all of the information that the government has. They openly admit that there is some information, such as the Pentagon impact tapes, that they will not release. Until we are allowed to see the whole story there is going to be theories and conspiracies flying around. I would say its about time that we do get all that information.

This report was definetly very irritating and disturbing. The work these guys are doing with the project is highly credible and should be supported by any means.
