Virgin Airlines Pulls Loose Change |
Virgin Airlines have pulled Loose Change from their in-flight movie roster after a cadre of Neo-Con slugs, bullies and enemies of free speech sent threatening complaints to the company, smearing the documentary and comparing it with Nazi propaganda films. "Virgin Airlines has pulled a controversial internet documentary on 9/11 from its in-flight entertainment system after complaints from bloggers and radio shows," reports a technology website. "Well, it didn't take long for Virgin to backpedal. While we fully understand and support Virgin's decision, we also fully understand that they signed a legal binding contract, so essentially, they paid us for the rights to NOT show the movie," writes Dylan Avery on his Loose Change blog. But the complaints were nothing to do with scaring passengers by offering a movie primarily about airline terrorism, they formed a coordinated campaign on behalf of government boot-licking brown shirts who throw their toys out of the pram every time anyone interrupts their bedtime story - the government's official version of 9/11. The source of the Neo-Con revolt was seemingly Michele "put every Muslim American in a concentration camp for our safety" Malkin's Hot Air blog, an electronic compound for Bill O'Reilly acolytes and frothing Bushites who spew threats and intimidation whenever their precious 'waving plastic American flags made in China', war cheerleading illusion is challenged by anyone who dares question the government. "I thought since that since Virgin Airlines was going to give us a 'chance to make up ‘your’ own minds' with regard to the 9/11 attacks on America, by showing the Loose Change movie in-flight, we all would greatly appreciate seeing the works of Leni Riefenstahl so we could 'make up our minds' about Nazis," wrote one sheep California. "And, how about all those wonderful German documentaries from 1939-1945 showing how subhumans are destroying European culture, and how Germania is a bulwark against the Bolshevik hordes and jazz-spouting American apes." Playing the Holocaust card in attempting to smear 9/11 truth has all but replaced the "insulting to the victims" scam that has largely been dropped since it was the government itself who egregiously insulted and endangered the heroic first responders in the very hours after 9/11 by lying and telling them the toxic air as safe to breathe. This talking point emanates directly from Fox News and Bill O'Reilly, who in March compared questioning 9/11 to Holocaust denial - which is the numero uno of ad hominem attacks that debunkers have to resort to when facts are in short supply. Making out Dylan Avery to be some kind of Hitler figure might hold more weight if Avery were in control of a powerful industrial country, ran its media and commanded its standing army, but last time I checked Dylan still lives in upstate New York with his friends and a dog called Justice. Virgin Atlantic finally collapsed under the weight of frothing Neo-Con fury when producer Nick Rizzuto from Andrew Wilkow's Sirius satellite radio show, had a "heated 20 minute conversation" with Virgin in which he threatened to instigate a "media firestorm" unless they canned the movie. Virgin were obviously misled as to the notoriety of "Andrew Wilkow's" rinky-dink never heard of broadcast and immediately pulled the documentary.
"Although the movie has been thoroughly debunked since, it has been a huge success on the internet, and downloaded by millions of users," reports the Register. Debunked by who? The very progenitors of yellow journalism - Hearst Publishing's Popular Mechanics? The gaggle of government apologists whose advertising contracts depend almost entirely on the military-industrial complex that got fat off exploiting 9/11? The same hacks who lauded their pathetic debunking attempts as politically independent and yet had Republican warmonger John McCain pen the forward to their book? The official fairy tale apologists' sloppy ad hominem attack pieces and error-strewn polemics have been debunked to kingdom come, including in a fantastic new book by David Ray Griffin, but they still delude themselves into thinking that the majority still believe their lies, despite polls showing over 80% distrust the government's version of events. A startling referendum on who the general public believes on 9/11, the truthers or the debunkers, was underscored yesterday when it emerged that the government was having problems finding potential jurors for the Jose Padilla case, because many of them didn't trust the media and government proclamation that "Al-Qaeda" was behind the 9/11 attacks. "A cottage industry of conspiracy theorists has sprung up among academics and others who claim such things as that the U.S. was involved in the Sept. 11 attacks, or that explosives planted inside the World Trade Center towers brought the buildings down rather than the jetliners that crashed into them," reports the Associated Press. A cottage industry? More like the most vocal, influential and passionate political movement since the 60's, but don't expect the establishment gatekeepers to give us any credit, and don't think for a second that they will ever admit their complicity and cowardice in failing to out the lies that have led to the deaths of over 600,000 civilians and thousands of U.S. troops in Iraq. The tipping point already passed a long time ago - 9/11 truth is here to stay and it's only going to get bigger, eclipsing the feeble efforts at intimidation and censorship on behalf of the all the Neo-Con slugs, Malkin and her anti-American bootlickers included.
