More on the WTC Controlled Demolition

An MSBC report that slipped under the radar:

Speaking of September 11

A Fox-TV affiliate in Binghamton, New York, recently ran a segment on the apparently controlled demolition of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7; surprisingly, it was not a hit piece intended to ridicule 9/11 truth activists as "wingnuts," but rather, a fair examination of the issue. A few days later, however, the video and transcripts were removed from the station's website; then they were restored ... (LINK)

There Are No Words

This morning, I discovered an on-line exhibit devoted to the comic book industry's response to the September 11 terror attacks. (LINK) Samplings from the books are generous; in fact, one book--the black-covered, September 11 commemorative edition of Spiderman--is presented in its entirety.

As a comic artist who has dealt with the same subject, I was of course interested in this exhibit. I had been aware that mainstream comics companies such as Marvel produced books commemorating September 11, but had never actually seen these books. The exhibit, then, presented me with my long-overdue opportunity.

It was a learning experience. I thought I knew everything there was to know about September 11, but I was wrong. Oh, how I wish I had consulted these comics--Spiderman in particular--before I ever lifted my pen to produce my piece for The Bush Junta. There were so many facts I was completely unaware of.

For instance, I never knew that Spiderman showed up at Ground Zero right after the Towers fell! ...



Yeah, Spiderman, it's all your fault. Where the hell were you? When it's green goblins and sandmen you're Johnny-on-the-Spot, but when a real disaster happens you're nowhere to be found. You let September 11 happen. I hate you, Spiderman ...



Couldn't see it coming, huh? A likely story. What about the warning you received not to fly that day, Thor? I hear Superman got the same warning. Just how much did you superheroes know and when did you know it? You let it happen. Why? ...

Oh well, never mind--the important thing is that you're "here now" to help with the rescue effort. Thanks ...



Look, there's the Thing and Mr. Fantastic! They're helping too! Why wasn't this reported in the news at the time? ...



And who knew that Spiderman provided on-site grief counseling? What a great guy! I don't hate you after all, Spiderman ...



There are no words. There are no words. That's how bad that horrible day was. There are no words for it. No words ...

Captain America took it especially hard ...



In fact, he was so grief-stricken that the rescue effort had to be halted just so he could be consoled. Group hug for Captain America everyone! Finally, a fireman said, "Get this blubbering oaf outta' here before more people die!" ...



Captain America wasn't the only one crying. So dark and devious were the deeds done that day by the dastardly devil Ossama bin Laden that even Dr. Doom cried. That's how bad it was ...



Of course, Dr. Doom has only tried to destroy the entire planet 10,000 times in his career as a super villain, but that's beside the point. The point being ... the point being, uh ... Just what the hell is the point of this stupid comic book? Oh yeah, now I remember. It was to make a buck, also to promote the official story of September 11 (no one saw it coming!) and hype the "War on Terror" with a lot of mawkish, overwrought histrionics (America's under attack! they hate our freedom! the sky is falling! squawk squawk squawk!). Propaganda at its most shameless ...

There are no words, there are no words ...
