MP3: Alex Jones Responds to the History Channel Hit Piece

The History Channel 9/11 special that aired last night was by far the worst hit piece we have ever witnessed, a completely savage, dishonest anddeceptive abomination, replete with dirty tricks, malicious lies and a level of journalistic fraud that goes way beyond simple bias.

Bradley Davis, the producer of 9/11 Conspiracies: Fact Or Fiction, is a paid liar and a hit piece specialist who deceives people by gaining theirconfidence and then attacking them behind their back.

He is famous for the smear job documentary on Michael Jackson and makes a career out of conning people and then stabbing them in the back.His tongue is so smooth, that even the Loose Change crew were prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt on his impartiality before last night'shit piece was aired, with Davis having tricked them into believing he was a friend.

Before filming began, Alex Jones asked Davis point blank if the documentary was going to be a hit piece, which Davis denied. After we broughtattention to the History Channel's blurb on their website, which clearly characterized the show as a hit piece, Davis panicked and promised to alterthe promo, calling it a "misrepresentation," as well as re-edit the entire program to make it more balanced. The promo temporarily disappearedfrom the website and the broadcast of the show was put back by a week.

During the course of this second exchange, Davis again promised Jones that the show was not going to be a hit piece and was very upset that wehad discovered he was behind the NBC hit piece on Jackson - seemingly frightened that his cover might be blown and his next victim would bealerted to his scheming tricks. He was terrified and kept repeating that he didn't want to be quoted on anything he said.

Just like Popular Mechanics swore that their straw man smear job wouldn't be a hit piece, Davis engaged in journalistic fraud and completedishonesty by lying directly to Alex Jones' face in claiming the documentary was to be neutral just so he could secure the interview.

Just like William Randolph Hearst, the progenitor of the term "yellow journalism," Davis will go down in history as a liar and a fraud.

The show itself was deliberately crafted, edited, shot and manipulated to portray the 9/11 truth movement in a completely negative light, whileexalting the so-called experts to almost God-like status.

The program makers pulled out all the stops to hire nationally renowned NBC news anchor Lester Holt (above image) to

narrate the show, a trusted voice that was utilized to brutally debunk 9/11 truth representatives.

The debunkers, people like James Meigs whose scientific expertise stretches as far as being the editor of Video Review and

Entertainment Week ly, were labeled as experts while real experts like Physicist Professor Steven Jones were stripped of anysuch description.

The debunkers' interviews were pristinely shot and framed, with beautiful backdrops and highly sympathetic camera angles

and filters, whereas the truthers were shot from bizarre positions, their images were deliberately distorted and even the colorfilter of the shot had been manipulated to make their appearance look tainted, blurred and contorted. This was an intentionalploy and a crude act of manipulation to detract credibility from the truthers and violates all known ethical standards ofjournalism.

The producers of the show failed to offer the proviso that Hearst Publishing, the owner of Popular Mechanics, also holds a

controlling stake in the History Channel (via its stake in the A & E Television Network), therefore concealing from the viewer ablatant conflict of interest that negated the neutrality of the show before it had even begun.

The debunkers were afforded far more time on camera while the truthers were sidelined.

The narrator of the show would dismiss the questions and evidence raised by the truthers as unproven or debunked in an ad

hominem manner without providing any evidence to justify the assertion.

The truthers were edited so that only hesitant responses to questions were broadcast, casting doubt on the veracity of their

claims in the mind of the unsuspecting viewer.

The show included a clip of Alex Jones' appearance at the University of Texas, at which around 500 people packed the lecture

hall to hear his speech, but deliberately and maliciously edited the footage to include shots taken during recess, so as tomake it appear that the lecture hall was mostly empty. In addition, lingering shots of empty chairs were included to furtherdeceive the viewer into thinking few had attended the speech. This is journalistic fraud of the worse kind - a blatantmisrepresentation and deliberate skewing of actual events.

In a similar vein, footage from 9/11 truth protests was broadcast but the angle of the shot was always tight, so as to make out

that few people had attended the demonstration, when in fact thousands were present.

Davin Coburn of Popular Mechanics, mirroring a dirty trick that was also employed in the BBC hit piece, maliciously lied and

smeared Alex Jones and others in the program by claiming that most of the 9/11 families hate them and that they areresponsible for causing the families more pain. Coburn and the show's producers know this is an outright lie and that themajority of the family members are asking the same questions as Alex Jones and others.

Bill Doyle, representative of the largest group of 9/11 family members told the Alex Jones Show directly that over half of thefamily members have questions about the official story. Alex Jones and the Loose Change crew offered contact details fornumerous 9/11 first responders, firefighters and family members that were asking questions of the official version, butabsolutely none were interviewed by Brad Davis and the rest of the show's producers.

The producers of the show tried to make out that Loose Change had recanted their position on the issue of controlled

demolition, when in fact Dylan Avery and the other members of the crew were merely using their Final Cut version to focus onother topics, having already covered controlled demolition at length in previous versions. This trick was used to claim thatevidence for bombs and controlled demolition, which is attested to by scores of firefighters and first responders, none of whichwere interviewed by the producers, had been debunked.

Articles and text from 9/11 truth websites were shown, but the actual URL addresses of the sites were blurred out, with the

History Channel obviously frightened that people might actually visit such websites and find out that the program was a packof lies.

The debunkers attempted to wriggle out of Secretary Norman Mineta's bombshell testimony about Cheney's actions in the

Emergency Operations Center, by claiming that Mineta was talking about Flight 93 and not the plane that hit the Pentagon. Inreality, Mineta makes it clear in his testimony that he is talk ing about Flight 77 (watch below video), "the airplane coming in tothe Pentagon," and this is then confirmed by Commissioner Lee Hamilton.

The debunkers admitted that temperatures inside the twin towers were not hot enough to melt steel, but claimed that they

were hot enough to weaken steel and cause the collapse. The debunkers uniformly failed to address the fact that firefightersand first responders described witnessing molten steel beneath the rubble of the towers and they also ignored ProfessorSteven Jones' scientific analysis of the iron-rich microspheres found in the rubble.

In a website posting last night, Professor Jones stated that he emphatically pushed the dust analysis during his interview withthe producers, but the topic was completely overlooked. The New York Times reported that the molten steel was "perhaps thedeepest mystery uncovered" but the History Channel, mirroring NIST, failed to address the issue.

The debunkers mentioned WTC 7 only in passing and completely failed to address why the building, which wasn't hit by a

plane, collapsed in 7 seconds into its own footprint after suffering only limited fire damage from falling debris. They also failedto mention why news outlets were reporting the collapse of Building 7 over an hour before it actually fell.

The wargames that dovetailed 9/11 and deliberately confused NORAD personnel so as to slow response to the real attack

were completely excluded.

The Able Danger program and how the hijackers were discovered before 9/11 was completely excluded.

The fact that the money man behind the hijackers, Pakistan’s ISI Chief Mahmoud Ahmad, was meeting with U.S. government

and intelligence officials before and on the morning of 9/11, was completely excluded.

William Rodriguez' first-hand testimony of explosions prior to the impact of the planes was completely excluded, as was the

testimony of numerous firefighters who attested to bombs and explosions.

NBC reporter Pat Dawson claimed that FDNY Chief of Safety Albert Turi had only described explosions, not bombs, going

off, contradicting Dawson's own report at the time which stated, "Reports of a secondary device, that is another ‘bomb’ goingoff."

After watching this two hour charade, Alex Jones was left stunned and irate that the producers had deliberately set out to create something thatgoes way beyond the scope of bias - an intentional propaganda attack piece strewn with manifestly provable lies, dirty tricks andmisrepresentation, and that the show's producers, and in particular Brad Davis, had purposefully lied all along in order to shield the fact that thiswas a savage hit piece of the highest order.

In comparison, The History Channel makes Fox News look fair and balanced!

Framing Alex Jones as a demon and making out that he is causing pain to 9/11 families, when in fact during our last visit to ground zero most ofthe firefighters and police personally thanked us, is a very serious allegation and we are waiting to see what kind of damages will accrue as aresult while we consider our next step.

As we expected all along, Brad Davis and the rest of the charlatans at NBC, the History Channel and Popular Mechanics, have pleased theircorporate masters by unleashing the most twisted, distorted, dishonest and savage hit piece in television history.

They have shown their hand by deliberately abandoning any pretense at ethical journalism and delivering exactly what their Hearst "yellowjournalism" Publishing and GE bosses demanded - a bias, malicious, deceptive, and manipulative tissue of lies and another reason for Americansto disengage from an establishment media empire that continues to hemorrhage viewers on a daily basis due to its ceaseless lies andpropaganda.
