Kevin Barrett to interview Chomsky about 9-11

[eridani]

Too much news this week to summarize...scroll down to the No Lies Headlines transcripts to get it from Rocinante's mouth. (The horse, not the car.)


Expect an official announcement of my candidacy for Congress next week. It will be a campaign unlike any other. For one thing, I solemnly promise never to blow-dry what's left of my hair. For another, my campaign will continue the all-out no-holds-barred truth jihad. As my campaign slogan puts it, "truth in politics - what a concept!"


Upcoming radio guests include uber-pilot and former CIA operative John Lear today; visionary science author Dorion Sagan tomorrow; leading progressive rabbi Michael Lerner this Monday; and after that, such great guests as Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth founder Richard Gage, JFK researcher E. Martin Schotz (he inspired Jim Douglass), Native American 9/11 truth activist Splitting the Sky, and two of our leading scholarly critics of empire, William Blum and Noam Chomsky. Yes, you heard that right - Noam Chomsky, heretofore no great friend of 9/11 truth, has agreed to join me for an interview to be broadcast in June! Stay tuned to http://www.mujca.com/airwaves.htm for details.


Thanks for your ongoing efforts in support of truth and justice.

1. thanks...nt

:hi:

[Beam Me Up]

2. ditto the thanks -- can't wait for the Chomsky interview! n/t

[wildbilln864]

3. when is it? nt

[petgoat]

4. Wow! Did Barrett's allegiance with holocaust deniers convince Chomsky to admit 9/11 Truth? nt

[Bolo Boffin]

5. You'll be waiting a while for this one.

Using false pretenses as to what would be asked, Barrett got Chomsky to agree to working something out in private emails. When Chomsky found out from these premature PR releases that Barrett actually did intend to talk to him about 9/11 issues, he immediately withdrew any such commitment. Barrett fired off a few attack emails and then published the entire email exchange at his website, despite his explicit assurances to Chomsky that he would keep the emails in confidence.

Barrett is exposed as a liar and a fraud who cannot be trusted for anything. This is one of your leading lights, Truth Movement.

6. Few who have made names for themselves are ever "leading lights" in

any other movement in the history of civilization including 9/11 truth.

But how about supplying a link to the exchange you mentioned so we can judge for ourselves?

[Bolo Boffin]

8. Google is your friend. n/t

[mhatrw]

9. It's actually a very instructive discussion between two highly intelligent

albeit flawed individuals:

Oh, and thanks for nothing, as usual.

10. Barrett's flaws are being a liar and untrustworthy in personal matters.

Could you share with us the flaws of Noam Chomsky?

12. Barrett is no "Leading Light"

Responsible Truthers repudiated his bullshit long ago.

In November, the internet activist "Col. Jenny Sparks" issued a humorous but firm request that Dr. Barrett rein himself in, saying he was "hurting, not helping" the 9/11 truth movement. She asked that Barrett silence himself on Jews and the holocaust, stop predicting imminent false-flag attacks, stop promoting TV-fakery theories, stop threatening people with execution, and stop using material from a fringe web site. <26>

In March, 2008 the blogger "Arabesque" wrote an essay complaining that Barrett had hurt the 9/11 truth movement's credibility "with damaging associations, discrediting theories, and controversial statements." <27>

In April, after Barrett allegedly asserted that no Israelis had died on 9/11, several 9/11 activists were inspired to declare Barrett "fired" from the 9/11 truth movement. <28> <29>

In May, 2008, Barrett's blog at the popular forum "911blogger" was deleted. Over 100 of his posts, and hundreds or even thousands of comments, were removed. Barrett's posts had been poorly received at 911blogger, receiving an average rating of 6 stars out of a possible 10. <30>

13. He remains a go-to face as long as he's got that radio show and the national exposure he's got

Good on the people that have kicked this nut to the curb, though.

14. I diasgree with you on a whole lot of things petgoat...

I diasgree with you on a whole lot of things petgoat but thank you for being one of the people in the TM who doesn't tolerate Barrett's bigotry and over-the-top conspiracy theories (like TV fakery). Has he really threatened people with execution? Wow, I must have missed that/those episode(s).

Barrett wasn’t joking when he said “I am not a hardcore nonviolence activist".<15> In response to a journalist who covered the disinformation conference The Science and the Politics of 9/11: What's Controversial, What's Not? Barrett wrote, "As the example of Nuremburg suggests, journalists who act as propagandists for war crimes may one day find themselves on the scaffold. You would be well advised to strive for more balanced and accurate coverage in the future."<16>

Similar comments include:

"Amy , you will one day find yourself on the scaffold, condemned to hang alongside the other Goebbels-style traitors and mass-murder-coverup-conspirators from the corporate media you pretend to criticize… I stand by the opinion that the support Amy Goodman has given to the worst blood libel in human history, and her ensuing participation in the murder of over a million people in Iraq, Afghanistan and the USA, constitutes complicity in high treason, mass murder, war crimes, and other crimes against humanity. "<17>

"The State Department doesn’t know what it is talking about, but what else is new? Frankly I wonder who wrote this for the State Department. We need to find out because they are going to have to go up there on the scaffold with the other people who planned the attacks and more importantly the people who covered them up. The people complicit in the attacks need to be tried, condemned and sentenced."<18>

James B. of Screwloosechange observed that, "First Kevin Barrett said that Fox News employees should be hung. Then he said that the producers of United 93 should be tried for inciting war crimes, now he is expanding his list of those on death row to include just about every journalist in the world, while discussing an e-mail exchange he had with a journalist for Harper’s Magazine: 'My response to that was, you know, I think that anybody who has drawn a paycheck from the major mainstream journalistic outlets in the past should be up on the scaffold for the crimes of high treason and crimes against humanity.'"<19>

"If you are not aware that you're covering up for that traitor and mass murderer and yes insurance fraudster Silverstein, you'll figure it out when you're beside him on the scaffold. I'll be saving this email as evidence for your trial."<20>

"The Capital Times ownership and editorial decision-makers, like those of other mainstream U.S. news outlets, are setting themselves up to be prosecuted as war criminals. By publishing the endless stream of lies that brought us into the Iraqi and Afghan quagmires, without exercising duly diligent skepticism, journalistic decision-makers are following in the footsteps of Joseph Goebbels -- a path that ends at the scaffold."<21>

"Kevin Barrett contacted me after he heard that Kevin Ryan backed out of a debate opportunity with me. Barrett wanted to know if I was interested in debating him on his radio show, or perhaps in a live debate when he is in New York. In his email to me, he copied a response he had sent to a listener, in which he said that I was complicit in mass murder and a candidate for a war crimes tribunal, with the gallows perhaps in my future. I guess that's his idea of an inducement to debate."<22>

"As I understand it, the usual penalty for treason is hanging, not death by firing squad. In that case, it is likely that Mr. Bush will be hanged, not shot, for treason. By making this prediction, am I running the risk of having my clothesline confiscated? I also think that there is a real possibility that Mr. Bush will be electrocuted for the mass murder of 2,500 Americans in the World Trade Center. By stating this, am I risking a court order shutting off my electricity? I also foresee a small but very real possibility that Mr. Bush will die in the gas chamber. Does raising this possibility mean that my gas could be cut off?"<23>

"By blinding people to the need to take the only effective action, is bringing on disaster. If he convinces even one person to do something other than work for 9/11 truth, he may as well have personally murdered all 6 billion people on earth."<24>

16. I have to agree with him on one point

The perpetrators of the 9-11-01 attacks should be hung.

[petgoat]

17. We shouldn't even think about hanging. Leave justice to the Int'l Criminal Court.

We are investigators and truth seekers and advocates for the victims.

We are not a lynch mob.

Escape Wisconsin, Kev! You're in Tim McVeigh territory. Clearly the midwest
is an unhealthy environment for you psychologically. For your kids' sake--
move to France, or Jordan, or Brunei. The world is wide. Someplace your
damage to the Truth movement will be minimized. And take that loony magician
with you.
