Moyers’ ill-informed attacks on 9/11 Truth are typical of mainstream left
By Craig McKee Over the past two or three decades, I have admired certain prominent members of the American political left: Noam Chomsky, Ralph Nader, and Gore Vidal among them. More “popular” journalistic voices like Michael Moore and Phil Donahue have also been in my good books for their progressive stances on various issues. But …
The fix is in: Bush cousin presides over 9/11 suit against Cheney, Rumsfeld, Myers
By Craig McKee No, it’s not a joke. A 9/11 lawsuit against former high officials in the Bush White House is being presided over by a cousin of former president George W. Bush – a shocking and blatant conflict of interest that should embarrass even believers in the official story. George W. Bush’s cousin, Judge …
Re-evaluating Michael Moore: his disappointing take on terror and 9/11
By Craig McKee From the first time I saw Roger and Me, I was hooked. Michael Moore was more than a breath of fresh air, he was a rare voice who found a way to get really progressive ideas into the mainstream in a big way. No small feat. I never cared about criticisms from …

Fear, deception and power: how we happily relinquish our freedoms

With shocking events …
‘Box cutter’ conspiracy nuts and their wild theories: a gem of 9/11 satire
I came across this wickedly dry bit of conspiracy analysis from 2003 recently and really enjoyed it. Since the author offered it freely for reproduction (with credit given) I thought it would be worth including in this blog. Because of its length, I’ve just included a healthy excerpt, but you can find the original at …
U.S. and Canada share the shame of Khadr case
By Craig McKee Few things make me angry faster than talking about the case of Omar Khadr. In the irrational aftermath of 9/11, freedom, due process, and the rule of law were casualties of a phony war on terror. While the real terrorists occupied seats of power in Washington, individual freedoms were discarded. And …
Who’s in charge? The unlikely travels of George Bush on 9/11
By Craig McKee So we know that before 10 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2001, President George W. Bush behaved very suspiciously. He remained in a Florida classroom reading with students while disaster unfolded. We know the Secret Service did not take steps to protect the president during the most catastrophic attack ever on American soil. …
