Progressive sites ignoring 911 Conference in Chicago...
You'd expect that the corporate media would refuse to cover the historic conference, Revealing the Truth, Reclaiming our future, in Chicago today through Sunday- but all the progressive sites are hiding their collective heads in the sands of non controversy as well.



Kos won't allow any 9/11 posts....he bans them and the posters without comment.
Buzzflash has not posted a single reference to the 911 Truth Movement.
Raw Story has not covered it..... no one has so far as I can see. On and on.

The speakers are very impressive (they're listed here: http://www.911revealingthetruth.org/)

For those of you who have followed Jesse's articles and blogs at http://TvNewsLIES.org ....he'll be speaking about the complicity of the media in the cover up.... on Sunday.

If you see any coverage of the Conference... please post it here. Thanks.

2. Yes it's so obvious. They will only say so much
but they won't really expose asnything that makes a real difference.

4. Jesse's account this morning of the conference...
First.. he told me there was a 'packed house' - which is really encouraging. Here's his newsletter:

I am currently attending the 9/11 Revealing the Truth convention in Chicago. I will be updating the news page as time permits but I will not have the time or resource to send out a daily news letter.

I will be returning to NY at the end of the week and I will resume newsletter distribution then.

For those of you who attend the convention and want to see my presentation I will be presenting in Salon 3 on Sunday at 9: AM.

The press conference was overflowing with people and media. The speakers included Alex Jones, Ralph Shoenman & Barrie Zwicker, to name a few.

I was able to ask a question to the panel. I was humbles as the room broke into applause for me as I announced my name and affiliation to TvNewsLIES.org. I was overwhelmed by this because I realize that I am making a difference.

Before I posed my question I asked if there were any members of the corporate media covering the event. Nobody responded. I then asked if anyone from Amy Goodman's Democracy Now was covering the event. Again...the room remained silent. I said that I was "not surprised!"

The keynote speaking event was overflowing with people ranging from costume wearing truth seekers, young teens, senior citizens and parents with their children. It was very inspiring.

I was able to spend time with Jim Mars, Dylan Avery (Loose Change), Lenny Charles (INN World News), Alex Jones, Barrie Zwicker, Webster Tarpley among others. I ran into Roger, from 911blogger.com. I was able to meet Meria Heller, one of my heroes! I am very encourages with the start of this event and I am looking forward to the rest of the weekend.

I am sorry about not being able to provide a regular newsletter this week but I promise to resume daily newsletter distribution when I return.

Peace,
Jesse - Editor, http://TvNewsLIES.org

5. Local INDYMEDIA coverage of the Chicago conference on 9/11

At least the local INDYMEDIA affiliate gave it some coverage:

8. that's not exactly 'coverage', is it??
Edited on Thu Jun-15-06 02:58 AM by Rich Hunt
....anyone can post there, even fascist disinformation 'agents' (cough). Like the Indymedia posts said - you want more mainstream coverage, you have to do something about the paranoid ufo creepies, the anti-semites and fascists who skulk around there. No one is going to report on a 'movement' that doesn't take itself seriously enough to do those things. A 'movement' is more than websites and conferences and the window dressing and moralist guilt-tripping. You have to do research and make phone calls etc.

Oh, and, you know, these conference things usually have pictures and reports on the conference website after it's over.

So where are they?

No one is stopping people from building up their own websites.

You want stuff in the media, you work on it. You don't just 'collect' information. You WORK at it.

Since when are activist movements about sitting around waiting for the media to call? Did anyone call the 'progressive' media or try to recruit them????? Do you people really know the ropes AT ALL, or do you just use the Cliff's Notes?

By the way, what's up the light blue theme and the "vera" this and "vera" that....boy those northwest siders have really taught you good germans who the enemy is!!

:grr:

Stop using my family, my life and my high school as a "code" if you don't want to be thought of as anything but disinformationist fascist dogs set upon those evil Catholics.

9. It's weird how there has not been any real information
someone posted pics and I guess Steven Jones talked about his latest research, but I found that on Alex Jones! The guy from 911 Eyewitness Rick Siegal said he tried to tape a lecture and security stopped him. People were saying on another forum that the people who ran it were control freaks, what good is it if no one gets any information?

10. the paranoid ufo creepies, the anti-semites and fascists
That's why this "conference" is doomed to fail in the big picture.

The thyme should be only the impossible physics of that day. Nothing more.

12. Pointing out
the physical impossibilities is the only important thing.

Where the average Joe can understand this really doesn't matter.

That's why I was very pleased to see professionals step forward.

13. an eclectic mix
A friend of mine who attended reported a score of 50-50 as far as credible speakers vs. nonsensical or objectionable speakers. That is a pretty sorry ratio.

That's why a lot of professional people don't take it seriously. It took me over a year of working on the talk show host Lionel till he finally got it.
