DVD Reviews of 9/11: Press For Truth
DVD Review: The Truth Will Out?
Summary: 5 Stars
9/11 has become an Internet phenomenon. There are over 30 million websites, blogs, forums and films devoted to the subject. 20 Million people have watched a documentary on the Internet called "Loose Change" which attacks the official version of the events of that day. The movie moguls have taken notice. The documentary is a hit!
There are a multitude of "Documentaries" on the Internet that purport the atrocities of 9/11 were an inside job or false flag operation. A government plot to unify the American people and allow them to follow the Government's foreign policies without question. These Filmmakers generally use images whined from the Internet or documentaries, official films, new reports and amateur footage. The resulting effect is professional and more often than not thought provoking.
One rather poor documentary called "Ripple Effect" asks questions and points out numerous anomalies surrounding the attacks but unfortunately follows the more ridiculous theories that logic should dispel. The most striking portion of this film is the evidence presented of media bias and intimidation. Fox news being the most shameful culprit.
The raw physics explained in most of these non-conformist documentaries on 9/11 is the most compelling argument that the line fed to the American public by its Government might be a false one. All the Internet documentaries follow the same initial thesis, produce the same circumstantial evidence and ask the same questions. The only difference in opinion is as to the specific, why?
Most theories agree that a controlled drone or missile hit the pentagon. Most agree that explosives were used to bring down the twin towers and the lesser-known World Trade Centre Building Number 7. This building fell to the ground with out a plane hitting it. Flight 93 leaves the most unanswered questions but all theorists agree that the crash site is suspiciously free of debris or bodies.
A recent documentary by the BBC that tried to debunk the accusations made by Internet documentaries like "Loose Change" and "Painful Deceptions" yet made no mention of the most controversial and persuasive theory; that the buildings fell at freefall speed. The BBC documentary did admit, however, that a cover-up after the event was undisputable.
A new film called "9/11 Press For Truth" has the distinction of opening in the cinemas. It can now be seen for free on the Internet. This sober film catalogues the absurd struggle of some bereaved wives in trying to find out the truth about the attacks on 9/11 from their very own Government. The stonewalling they endure is sinister in the extreme and Condoleezza Rice dodging direct questions posed by the 9/11 Commission is shocking and sickening. This begs the question, what is the American Government so afraid of?
Having watched a number of these films I find myself asking the same difficult questions that all conspiracy theorists have considered.
Why did World Trade Centre Building Number 7 collapse?
Why did it go largely unreported?
Why did the Twin Towers crash down at free fall speed?
Why is there no plane wreckage at the pentagon?
Where is the wreckage of Flight 93 now?
These questions are the hardest to explain and the hardest to refute. The non-conformist view is that controlled demolitions were responsible for the 3 buildings crashing to the ground on the same day. The official explanation offered by the Official 9/11 Report, FEMA, Popular Mechanics and NIST follow the line that the shock of the planes hitting the buildings, the resulting fires caused by burning fuel and office furnishings caused the steel structure to weaken and thus collapse. This of course does not explain the remarkably efficient collapse of all three buildings including World Trade Centre Number 7, which was not even mentioned in the Official 9/11 report.
Popular Mechanics has tried quite energetically to dispute the questions that have been raised by these intrepid filmmakers. Their privileged position has allowed them access to photographic and video evidence that has not yet been made public. On a recent televised debate on "Democracy Now!" between the young filmmakers of "Loose Change" and Editor in Chief of Popular Mechanics, the latter admitted this special access and used it as defence to an argument about plane debris at the pentagon. "We saw debris in photographs!" The young directors asked why they were not permitted to see these photographs.
John Gross the lead engineer of the NIST report, which follows the Governments official account of towers destruction on 9/11, was unaware that three pools of molten steel were reported, filmed and photographed under each of the three towers weeks after their destruction. He was also unaware of NASA thermal images that registered these extreme temperatures and their locations.
The clear up of ground zero also leaves the Internet theorists with an enormous quantity of loaded questions such as; why was the steel of the towers removed so quickly and either sold abroad or buried before investigations could be conducted. These questions have remained unanswered.
A final shocker freely admitted by the FBI is that there is no evidence to link Usama Bin Laden to the attacks on 9/11. This final admition only goes to prove that the story fed to the American Public is inaccurate.
Conspiracy theories abound when information is withheld, subverted, restricted, censored or denied, which is plainly the case here. The lack of desire by the American Government to investigate with integrity and honesty such an appalling crime is shameless.
Maybe the Conspiracy theorists unknowingly are playing into the Governments hands by clouding the issues and obscuring the truth with theory. The scary thing is that an ever-growing cross-section of the American Public can quite willingly believe that their Government is quite capable of such horrendous atrocities.
Description of 9/11: Press For Truth
The Coverup Exposed By The 9/11 Families"They lied, they all lied." --Patty Casazza (one of the "Jersey Girls")
"We don't know the whole story, not at all" -- Lorie Van Auken (one of the "Jersey Girls")
"9/11 was the biggest 'don't ask-don't tell" --Sally Regenhard, lost Firefighter son.
"Press for Truth" is an astonishing portrayal of the lengths our public servants will go to protect themselves from any accountability. --Scott Horton, Antiwar.com
Although independent investigations began within weeks of both Pearl Harbor and the Kennedy assassination, the same was not true of the attacks of September 11th. Most are unaware that formation of the 9/11 Commission was strongly opposed by many in Washington, including the Bush administration. It was only due to pressure from the 9/11 families, led by a particular twelve calling themselves the Family Steering Committee, that, fourteen months after the attacks, the first hearing finally began. These twelve remained active in monitoring the Commission?s investigation, providing a list of hundreds of specific, well-researched questions to the Commissioners. In the end, the 9/11 Commission Final Report failed to answer seventy percent of them.
In 9/11 PRESS FOR TRUTH, five of the most prominent members of the Family Steering Committee, including interviews with three of the "Jersey Girls," tell their story for the first time, providing the most powerful argument yet for why 9/11 still needs investigation. Adapting Paul Thompson's definitive Complete 9/11 Timeline (published by Harper-Collins as The Terror Timeline), the filmmakers stitch together rare, overlooked news clips, buried stories, and government press conferences, revealing a pattern of official lies, deception, and spin.
The political becomes personal in 9/11: Press for Truth, which examines the World Trade Center attacks from the perspective of the families who lost loved ones. Written and directed by Ray Nowosielski, the documentary draws partly from Paul Thompson?s website-turned-book, The Terror Timeline, and much of the commentary comes from Lorie Van Auken, Patty Casazza, and Mindy Kleinberg, three of the "Jersey Girls." Along with Kristen Breitweiser, the 9/11 widows have become activists in its wake. As Casazza says, "We all had questions...and wanted answers." The primary one was: How could this happen? Interestingly, two of the women voted for Bush. Casazza adds, "Even though he should have been our biggest advocate, he turned into one of our biggest adversaries." Together with eight other spouses, parents, etc., they form the Family Steering Committee and lobby for an independent commission, which comes to pass, but fails to deliver the goods. The widows find more useful information in Thompson's timeline, which he compiled using material in the public domain (Thompson also appears in the film). The style of 9/11: Press for Truth couldn't be more conventional--talking heads, television footage, omniscient narrator, relentless score--but the personal approach makes it a valuable addition to the rapidly-growing list of 9/11 documentaries. The point is, to quote Patti Smith, "people have the power"--people like the Jersey Girls, Paul Thompson, and all the other ordinary citizens who have kept pressure on our elected officials and the news media to dig deeper and work harder. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
