The story told tonight is this - Mohammad Atta was involved with the CIA, and was brought into America by a man named
Wally Hilliard who has connections to Jerry Falwell - to fly planes on 9/11.
"Rudi Dekkers' financier Wallace J. Hilliard, 70, has so far managed to avoid being caught in the glare of publicity surrounding former business partner Dekkers, currently facing a charge of felony fraud as well as an ongoing multi-agency federal investigation.
But Hilliard's Huffman Aviation, the Venice flight school which trained both pilots who crashed airplanes into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, has recently been embroiled in controversy in Falwell's Lynchburg, VA. hometown."
They link all these guys to a flight school that is a cover for the CIA. I'm not sure where they are going with a lot of this, but basically they're saying that the members of this group are a transnational group that uses America as their own third world country - and have made billions.
The claim is that from Watergate to Iran-Contra to the S&L/Neil Bush/Silverado to the Drug War to 9/11 - it's all connected by a small group of the same men that work with the core Republican party and Religious Right.
I imagine that Daniel Hopsicker has been called a conspiracy theorist quite a bit - and his answer to that charge is that all the people making the "a missle hit the Pentagon" claims are shills for this powerful group - who make wild claims that caste doubt on his own reporting.
It's so big and difficult to understand, that you start to think you're either too dumb not to get it, or too smart to believe it.
The interesting thing is that he's not saying anything in a clear distinct way - other than that there are connections, and the American people don't know the truth.
Is it something to explore, does it help anything or anyone in our cause to have a government we trust? Is it just a distraction for comfortable middle-class nerds who enjoy the challenge of wrapping their head around something so big and cool, that it never ends.
Does this kind of work come from a lack of faith in mainstream journalism. Has truth in the media become an oxymoron, and that many people have just decided to move on?
I don't know.
One last note - a man named Jackson Stephens was a source of conspiracy about Clinton, and now his name is being used a man connected to Bush...the logic of the conspiracy goes in circles until you reach a point where it looks like this...
Is there any truth to be eeked out of this mental drainage ditch of ideas?
Who is Chris Hedges?

[editor's note, by JKU]
Later in the show they played a speech by a guy named Chris Hedges, who wrote a book called *"War Is A Force That Gives Un Meaning"* - all things he said about the Iraq war before it began are eerily prescient. This type of discussion about war from the view of someone who has seen has a sense of real credibility to it.
