Just now. Would it be possible for the Truth Movement to produce a newspaper that came out say, quarterly? I think it would have more substance than individual leafletting and also would move us away from the sometimes bas-tardized group of 'internet theories'. I am sure we could all muck in and take a hands on approach, as well as help financially. It need not just be about 9/11, we could also cover relevant and related issues without losing sight oof our primary objectives. This of course would be open to all affilliated 9/11 groups across Britain. Let's make this a poll. |

No becuase it will be preaching to the choir. Also its to susceptible to infiltration. The internet is our best weapon.
But this is just my opinion. _________________ Since when? |

How will giving out a newspaper be converting the choir? |

Nice idea but I just don't think the truth movement is really big enough. I think we have a slightly inflated idea of how many people believe this.
Not everyone who disagrees with the Government or debates Government honesty believes 9/11 or 7/7 were inside jobs and "internet polls" that say over 50% and so on can easily be fixed by voting bot thingies.
Stephen Colbert got 18 million votes to name a bridge in Hungary after him and only about 2 million people watch his show, so figure it out.
Plus, I doubt we could all agree on a position to take considering it's seemingly more divided than ever with the whole beam weapon thing. |

a newspaper not about 9/11 in anyway might be a better idea. a newspaper about surrounding issues that are known to be fact amongst the world but the bbc fail to report on or play em of as nothing.
bringing storeys together might open peoples eyes as it would be easier to connect what is happening and leave people also wondering why the bbc failed to inform people on such important issues or why they gave the storey spin and didnt properly inform us. the news the media dont want you to know. |

Even though I find it hard to support thought criminal, I think this is a good idea. Although a magasine format might be better. |

Yeah, a more "alternative news" styled production rather than specifically 9/11 based newspaper would probably be far more successful.
The ideal name would have been The Independent but oh well. |

Hi thought criminal,
A similar notion had occured to me, and I included the following in a post in another thread -
"The thought arises in me, that although 21st century media has played an important, even fundamental role in alerting us, the public, about 911, this can mean also that some sections of citizenries are kind of in danger of being bypassed. I would say that 911 awareness is certainly much more prevalent among those who are possessed of and/or conversant with computers, for example. The world which is thereby opened up embraces the web and other modes of transmission of ideas which flow from pc usage. Burning dvds, youtubes and forum sites such as this could be cited as examples of relatively recent media.
It is also true, however, that such methods remain relatively private. A dvd for example needs usually to be taken home, and then will often be viewed in private, if at all. A certain time needs to be set aside for this, and in a particular location with relatively specialised and costly equipment to boot.
I am beginning to wonder if a monthly freesheet or somesuch paper based
journal could not be devised, funded and then distributed by hand to pubs and other popular meeting places throughout the land. A paper journal is freed from many of the constraining influences of digital media. Readily shared, discussed, passed on or simply left around for the next reader. A reader who, remember, now only needs to look and read. There are few citizens today who are not up for a read about a truly shocking scandal. Why not out-tabloid the tabloids?
It's not, I'm sure we can agree, as if there is a lack of interesting, even riveting material to hand.
Remember also, that our very familiarity with the powerful publishing tools freely available for all nowadays, brings the task of producing a paper publication down to a relatively simple level.
No exaggerations or stretching the truth of 911 required, to be sure. Nasty villains aplenty in the murky background of this truly dastardly plot. Expose them, I say, for all the world to see, in the time-honoured fashion of the penny dreadful. "
Although relatively inept as a researcher, I would be able to contribute to cover design, for example. |

Yeah, but I thought it a good two hours before you. Nerrrr. I'm only having a laugh.
I think everyone could contribute in their own way, Alwun. Even though I am a No Planer, we would not have to cover such controversial aspects if people felt uncomfotable with it. There is probably enough research in these forums alone to complete a number of newspapers/magazines already.
We could give it out at train stations, on the tube, where people will read anything to kill journey time. After all, we must remember that some people do not have the time to be 'logged on' frequently enough to digest facts and the disturbing truths pertaining to 9/11. Leaflets are okay but are easily forgotton or immediately disposed of seeing as 99.9% of the leaflets given to us in the street are utter cack. |

This is a thoroughly negative post so I will not bother responding to the points you have made. |

Not negative, just realistic.
Would I support a newspaper if it was done, sure I would, but I am just saying 9/11 specific would fall on it's arse.
"Alternative news" styled, would probably work a treat. |

I said in the first post that it need not be just about 9/11 so what are you talking about? |
