A new film has taken the BBC’s Conspiracy files hit piece on 9/11 truth from earlier this year and ripped it apart point by point exposing it as a tissue of lies, bias and emotional manipulation.
9/11 and the British Broadcasting Conspiracy, produced by British researcher Adrian Connock and former MI5 counter terrorism officer David Shayler uncovers the BBC’s selective and distorted 9/11 coverage and the corporation’s attempts to portray the 9/11 truth movement as a racist cult like group of mythology.
The BBC programme, aired in February, produced a vociferous and outraged response in its aftermath. The documentary attempted to dismiss serious questions about 9/11 firstly by implying that anyone who distrusts the official version has a borderline psychological illness and is a member of a mythological cult.
The programme then failed in debunking 9/11 questions by making points structured around fallacy, lying by omission, using defamation of character and overwhelming bias.
9/11 and the British Broadcasting Conspiracy reiterates many of the counterpoints Prisonplanet.com raised in response to the BBC piece exposing it for the yellow journalism hatchet job it was.
Watch the documentary here for free:
Among the scores of counterpoints within the film, Shayler makes clear how the BBC use a thoroughly debunked graphic animation from PBS’ Nova show to illustrate the collapse of the twin towers. He also points out that no eyewitness testimony or references to bombs exploding at all levels of the twin towers made by ground zero rescue workers and firefighters were mentioned by the BBC.
Furthermore, Shayler highlights the fact that during brief coverage of the Building 7 issue, the words of Larry Silverstein, the owner of the WTC complex who told a September 2002 PBS documentary that he and firefighting chiefs decided to “pull” the building, were not even mentioned by the BBC.
Also exposed in the documentary is the fact that despite there having been numerous war games in operation in the lead up to 9/11, including involving planes crashing into buildings, the BBC boiled them all down into one and described them as “routine”.
Shayler also points to the fact that manipulative editing and emotional bias was used to paint 9/11 truthseekers as social outcasts and lead the viewer into thinking the whole movement is insulting and hurtful to the victims, when there is an overwhelming faction of victims’ families who are asking the same questions.
9/11 and the British Broadcasting Conspiracy highlights the fact that the BBC’s hit piece has only provoked a firestorm of new interest in 9/11 truth and caused a redoubling of efforts on the part of hardened researchers to refute the official conspiracy theory.

I agree that the events of 9/11 was hugely beneficial for an American President who had reached the highest levels of unpopularity in human history. 9/11 was hugely convenient for his ratings and therein lies the motive for the event. Prior to m9/11 it was clear that the USA was in search of enemies to bolster the popularity of the president through fear mongering.
The initial target was China with the spy-plane incident and also the rocket attack on a Chinese embassy. Eventually Al Qaeda, the Taliban and the Mojahedin in Afghanistan represented themselves as easy targets, they were trained by the CIA and would therefore be an easily managed threat that would be overcome within weeks, leaving Bush to recover from his waning popularity on a wave of corruptly induced patriotism, and an image of the champion against terrorism and leader of the ‘free world.’
Al Qaeda, the Taliban and Mojahedin proved to be rather more able to survive the US invasion into Afghanistan and to prosper. Someone had to be blamed for the US impotence in Afghanistan - so the weapons of mass destruction nonsense was concocted and a new enemy found. Perhaps it could become a smokescreen for a disengagement from the embarrassment of Afghanistan. But, again BUsh and his little lap puppy from the UK, Tony Blair misjudged the situation - hence the current mess, a repetition of the Vietnam quagmire. What shall we call it? Cannot call it a quagmire give the desert location… Perhaps a slip on an oil spill - or being lost in the desert, perhaps?
When is the United States going to learn that self defence means defending your direct geographical borders and not interfering everywhere in the world under the pretence of self defence. George Bush should be charged with crimes against humanity for these unnecessary wars which were waged to save his standing in popularity polls in the USA and for no other reason at all. The only terrorists in the world are the Bush Blair alliance. Hopefully now that Britain has a new Prime Minister that country will withdraw from the conflict.
In the mean time the truth about 9/11 must be revealed.

A few things:
1. “who had reached the highest levels of unpopularity in human history” What about hitler?
2. “George Bush should be charged with crimes against humanity for these unnecessary wars which were waged to save his standing in popularity polls in the USA and for no other reason at all” Would only be charged if he LOST the so called “war”, winners write history and control the past.
3. If it did turn out to be the work of the Bush admin team, if they planned it all, what then? You’d know the truth? Would it make you feel any better? would you feel safer?
In the end, it was a tragic time, so much has happend in the last 7 years, it no longer matters who planned it. Bush will be gone soon, he has set up the worst job on the face of the earth for a new puppet. It wont bring back the men women and children that have died in this war on terror.

The bush admin team did not perpetrate 9/11. I know of no evidence which would prove this.
Most just say, what we were told was a lie. Which can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt.
The legislation which he has steam rolled through congress will still be used by future presidents. It’s a false left right paradigm, both sides are controlled. If you think hillary, obama, guilanni, mccain will be any better then i’d say you’re insane.
Some of these legislations are The patriot act, patriot act reauthorization (patriot act 2, its basically an addition to the first patriot actl), john warner defense authorization bill, etc, and god only knows how many executive orders…
When (not if) hillary gets into power with obama as her vice president, the fairness doctorine will come back (if not before then), anyone who disagree with her will be labeled a sexist, thought crimes similar to the UK will be put into place so that if anyone disagrees they are a criminal.. And then last but certainly not least, all guns will be banned. Get ready to be a slave.
Both the democrats and republicans are teamed up against the american people, this partisan bickering you see back and fourth is only for show. Do a little research and compare voting records of the major candidates, virtually identical.

Yet people still vote for these idiots out of fear. It made me laugh in the first comment about the PM being bush’s bitch basically.
Tony Blair has gone, no longer in charge of the UK, its a good time, but in the end he put fowarded orders to start withdrawing from Iraq.
Quickly, I dont really fully understand this comment:
thought crimes similar to the UK will be put into place so that if anyone disagrees they are a criminal.. And then last but certainly not least, all guns will be banned. Get ready to be a slave
Are you talking about the whole “freedom of speech” being taken away before guns then you become slaves? If you are we have freedom of speech over here, but we dont need to point it out on a piece of paper everytime something bad happens.
No guns, now I love this country for many reasons, not being allowed guns is a major one. Caught with a gun and you are screwed, say what you want about your right to own as many guns as possible but in the end how many mentally unstable people get their hands on guns everyday in america. How many more school shootings does one country need.
Sorry gone off on a rant about something which offtopic sorry.

I have a few friends here where I live that have immigrated here from the UK. At one point they told me that in the UK, if you were to call someone a “foreigner”. It is considered a racist remark. Meanwhile, your country allows thousands of illegal immigrants in from pakistan, and other middle eastern countries.
That’s what i’m talking about.
