Breaking into the mainstream

[Stuart]

If we really want exposure shouldn't the idea be to force the topic into the public eye where possible and i am fairly sure it is possible.

There are 3000 members on this forum alone, and so why no arrange for a week when we bombard the likes of John Gaunt on Talksport with emails to get him to do a show on this.

The guy is so right wing he really egts under my skin as many of his shows propose ideas based on the terrorist threat in the aftermath of 7/7 and 9/11 and that as a result of these its back our boys in Afghanistan to the hilt, there national heroes blah blah. On one show in October last yera though it kind of backfred as he opened the topic up wider inviting 9/11 sceptics to call in as if no oe would call in and the result was that it took over the show with 50% of callers being surprsingly knowledgeable on the fact. In the end he got the very exassperated and intimated that if people wanted to talk about that he'd do it another day.

I see no reason why we cannot lobby him to do a show on this and then prepare for it so that we get maimum exposure with as many peopel ready to call in as possible having drilled and prepared themselves with what to say.

This could have the affect of getting the info out to as many people as possible. Talksport have been one of the best outlets on there nighttime shows for 9/11 truth and have been surprsingly accommodating of people getting a there voice over so i say we lobby them by email to do it in primetime on Gaunties show. Perhaps even get some one with credentials on there to bolster the opinion.

Does anyone think this is feasible and can be achieved in a tailored and clever way?

To be honest I don't think we need mainstream support.. it helps sometimes, but thanks to the internet a good percentage of alternative media is now more popular than the mainstream offering.

I'm not against your idea at all and I'll support it but the mainstream media know their time is coming to an end, and so do we

Edit: Also moved this into Campaigning from News

I like the apparent confidence in your point Mick, its certainly the right attitude and i do agree in general.

But i don't know whether i agree completely, i don't know any people that have signed onto the idea of a 9/11 conspiracy being highly probable. Its been 13 months now since i first broke through the bs tidal wave in our media and started to see things for what they are. In the beginning i felt the need to tell everyone and just started speaking about it without even thinking about how what i was saying and how it came across - i think we've all been there. A few of the people i know have shown some interest but no one has taken it to the level that they will look for themselves, and a few others are so incredulous to understand how it could ever happen that they just think i am alittle bit of a fantacist and abit crazy. Everyone else just doesn't care, they have families and don't even follow the news desipte generally being well educatded. I am now vvery much at ease with my understanding of everything and rarely talk about it unless prompted.

My fear is, and i maybe wrong that whilst the online community generally do accept it, those who aren't aware of such communities and don't tend to use the internet like this are no closer to being fully aware of the facts. I don't really know any of you guys but if you spend all your time around people that do understand it then it may come across liek your making a difference but what about the mass consciousness (i don't mean that to sound patronising or in any way judgemental). I think that the majority still think of 9/11 in the same way as faked moon landings etc and are generally too busy to take it seriously.

I favour any means of getting some credible airtime in primetime slots rather than late night radio shows. If enough people email radio shows and TV shows then surely they have to start taking it seriously. It might even embarrass some of the documentaries that seem to be planned at the moment.

I have also noticed an increase in films that and news stories that seem to be distorting the story even more eg Charlie Wilsons War and Kingdom with Jamie Foxx and then the news today about charges being bought against KSM. All of these issues are making the waters more cloudy for our story in the public eye which is not good.

I am alittle suprised at the lack of inetrest in such ideas on here. We have some great meetings and yes Loose Change is getting out there, but feeling is that we are often preaching to the converted than reaching the masses.....i don't just don't want to see progress slowing.

I can understand your point but telling people to investigate 9/11 for themselves wont do it. I think what we need to do is send different messages to different demographics and geographical areas that will turn the on the light bulb.

This may not be as difficult as it may sound. For example, Slough has a very strong ethnic mix (war on terror) while Oxfordshire and Berkshire is quite wealthy (the money scam). Andover and Salisbury has a strong military presence (war crimes and Iraq).

When people think they are personally affected then they might be pursuaded to dig deeper.

The way to do it is as follows:

Pick between 5 and 7 points which prove the official story is wrong and make a documentary (forget an official government whitewash enquiry) about the evidence for them. Also suggest possible alternative scenarios with appropriate evidence.

Essentially become a filmmaker from the point of view of a prosecution barrister delivering an address to a jury.

And be content that documentary makers are more highly regarded by the public than lawyers.

A good way to each out trough media is to pick a good opportunity
to ask poignant questions to politicians and men in power..

Imagine this: live sending, Blair (or, whos in charge in this country now? I only just arrived here and dont follow the news very much..) gets the question:

Q: Did you ever question the US government why they ignored the warnings given from UK and several other countries prior to 911 about terrorist attacks?

If such a thing would be aired, it would raise QUESTIONS..
