The "911 propaganda onslaught" thread

[Hugh Manatee Wins]

release date September 9, 2011

Plot

A former boxer, Paddy Conlon (Nick Nolte), whose alcoholism tore apart his family, welcomes back his youngest son Tom (Tom Hardy), a former Marine, and trains him to compete in a mixed martial arts tournament – a path that puts the son on a collision course with his older brother Brendan (Joel Edgerton), a high school physics teacher and former mixed martial arts competitor.

They Were There: 9/11 Photographers
LIFE.com spoke with photographers about the powerful images they captured on Sept. 11, 2001.


Spencer Platt: City Aflame

Spencer Platt, a photographer for Getty Images, was nudged out of bed by his wife, who told him that a plane had collided with one of the Twin Towers. Platt groggily left their Brooklyn apartment and was headed toward lower Manhattan when he realized something was terribly wrong; people around him were panicking. He broke into a jog over the Brooklyn Bridge and saw it.

"I was struck by the acrid black smoke bellowing from the north tower," he told LIFE.com. "I placed the camera to my eye and took a few images on my new digital camera, which I was not yet accustomed to. In fact, I should have missed the explosion of the south tower, because I had only put the camera to my eye for a second to check on the focus when the second plane hit and the fireball erupted. I instinctively pressed the motor drive." A cab driver nearby noticed that Platt had captured the awful moment. "As I scrolled back through the pictures to make sure it really existed on my LCD, the taxi driver ran up to me. He screamed, 'He's got, he's got it!'—as if what we had all just witnessed wasn't yet reality until we confirmed it on a screen."


Spencer Platt, who won the World Press Photo of the Year award in 2006, remains a staff photographer for Getty Images.

Paul J. Richards: 'We're Under Attack'

Paul J. Richards was part of the press pool travelling with President George W. Bush when, in the middle of a routine photo op at a Florida elementary school, he noticed that the president's aides were suddenly agitated and that every news producer's cell phone was going off. His instincts told him he needed to get into position to catch Bush's reaction when the president was told what was going on.

"I could hear talking from the back room—someone talking to the staff, getting all worked up. I was thinking, I'm in the wrong place, I need to be in dead center. Then [White House Chief of Staff] Andrew Card popped out of a door." Card whispered something to the president, as Richards took this photo. "He later told me that he said, 'Sir, we're under attack.'"

Richards is now chief photographer and assignment editor for the Washington, D.C., bureau of Agence France-Presse.

Thomas Franklin: Shades of Iwo Jima

Thomas Franklin's photo of four firefighters struggling to raise an American flag in the late afternoon after the attacks quickly became a symbol of a nation's resilience and is still often compared to Joe Rosenthal's famous World War II photo of the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima.

But when he took it, Franklin had no idea it would become such an iconic image. "It was just one of thousands from that day. It didn't really separate itself from the other pictures I took until much later. My focus was just trying to capture as much as I could, as best I could."

Franklin actually took the photo almost as an afterthought as he was about to leave the scene at about 5 p.m. "I figured I'd shoot one last picture before I left for New Jersey, and that's when I saw the firemen. It wasn't an orchestrated thing, it wasn't a performance, they just did what they did. I saw it from the corner of my eye from the triage ara, one of a series of photos I took in less than a minute. It was over that quickly."

Franklin is the multimedia editor for NorthJersey.com, where he recently completed a video project about Sept. 11 photojournalists for the 10th anniversary of the attacks.

years that people aren't necessarily right. You can't even convince people that their memories are wrong.

That to me is a key piece of the situation. People do not want their beliefs shaken as to what happened that day.

I've talked to people who at first are very open, on the surface, to hearing about the issues with the official story, but upon seeing where it's going, and seeing how obvious the truth actually is, realiing that iif they go any furthr their belief systems will get radically transformed, have simply walked away, basically admitting to me that they just would rather not go there!

It's weird to me because I've always wanted to know the truth, no matter how radical or mind-shaking it might be (about anything and everything!), but maybe a large percentage of people would rather not.

Its also 'step 2' that stops them.

'Step 2', you may ask?

Even after breaking the conditioning and seeing through the propaganda, if one admits the truth, then what? You would feel compelled to 'do something about it'. This would change lives dramatically. Not many are willing to do that. Better to wave a flag and sing along.

After I 'woke up', I spent about 4 years trying to spread the word and open eyes, everywhere and in every waking moment, obsessed with communicating and spreading the word. Then Katrina hit, which we are just getting over here. But had that not happened, I would still have been saving/reposting/spreading things.

The 9 11 London Project is a new educational charity which has been set up to ensure that the legacy of 9/11 is one that builds hope from tragedy.

Our mission is to develop, out of the horror of the events of 11th September 2001, an educational programme for schools, devoted to a proper understanding of what happened; and thereby help to reduce the possibilities of any similar act in the future.

Our project has two core elements.

i) To raise funds for the creation of 9 11 London Project educational programmes to be made available for schools;

ii) and to commission and site a work of art, created from steel from the World Trade Centre, as a symbol of this educational initiative.

Both these elements will launch to mark the 10th anniversary this September 2011.

The 9 11 London Project is funded by a number of generous donations from private and corporate sponsors in Britain and the United States. There has been no public money involved and the charity is non-denominational and apolitical.

Checked out the ioe and edcoms links, at quick first glance seem pretty standard university linked research/ consultancy organisations. I suspect the real meat is the list of conveniently unavailable "private and corporate sponsors". This needs further investigation.

How is the artist going to have access to WTC steel?

Perhaps that is actually the last best source for nano-thermate traces...

Why You Fight:
A Stars and Stripes Exclusive

We might like to imagine that people rushed to sign up for the U.S. military in the days after the attacks on September 11, 2001, but by and large they didn't. It fell to a group of Americans with a special kind of dedication to enlist or continue to serve when not many others did.

Who answered the call?

You did. The readers of Stars and Stripes. The soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and families who served and are still serving now, even after much of the country seems to have forgotten about almost 10 years of war.

Quite an interesting point that I hadn't considered. Being a dumbass civilian and all.

Military recruitment did not surge in the years after Sept. 11; the Army met its recruitment goals in 2001 and 2002, but by 2005, had fallen short of its 80,000-person goal.

Yet some of these same people may believe the goofy false Obama theories, or believe in God or supernatural/UFO/whatever stuff. The disconnect is mighty.

It's weird to me because I've always wanted to know the truth, no matter how radical or mind-shaking it might be (about anything and everything!), but maybe a large percentage of people would rather not.

Same here, warts and all. Ive also seen many conspiracy/parapolitical researchers and such skew everything toward a very biased confirmation bias mindset and I think that can be as bad as the anti conspiracists. Very few it seems(even amongst deep state minded people) truly want the curtain revealed...and I don't blame them

[Searcher08]

You know 8bit, one of the things I have found pretty depressing is searching for ptech / Indira Singh stuff and finding nothing new about it. No one is going there. I see lots of stuff from years ago that you and I wrote - and people saying "Wow this is dynamite!" then ZZZzzz... Even the people who say "Lets have a new inquiry" never address this area.

Yeah, but those are different because those are things that those particular people WANT to believe.

One of the first rules of a con is to tell the person what they want to hear.

I'm guessing 3-4 more horrific "random" shootings in the next couple of days leading up to the anniversary.
