George Monbiot "peer-reviewed"

[fish5133]

The following is a paragraph in a George Monbiot Guardian article Nov 14 2006 as he debunks global warming conspiracy. Maybe he should have a worthwhile discussion with Steven Jones and his peer reviewed papers ref 911

" A scientific paper is one published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. This means it has been subject to scrutiny by other experts in the field. This doesn't suggest that it's the last word on the subject, but it does mean it is worth discussing."

Copy of letter posted to Mr Monbiot

Your article 14th Nov. 2006 ref global warming
" A scientific paper is one published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. This means it has been subject to scrutiny by other experts in the field. This doesn't suggest that it's the last word on the subject, but it does mean it is worth discussing."

Perhaps it would have been worth your while discussing Professor Steven Jones peer reviewed papers regarding the collapse of the Twin Towers prior to your article rubbishing 911 conspiracies.

Also perhaps a look at the list of respected Senior Military, Intelligence, Law Enforcement, and Government Critics of 9/11 Commission Report

Michael Meacher MP, Richard Clarke, Republican Congressman Curt Weldon, Sibel Edmonds (FBI interpreter), Josef Bodansky, (director of the Congressional Task Force on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare), David Shayler (former MI5 officer), Morgan Reynolds (economist in GW Bush administration), Scott Ritter (UN Weapons Inspector), Republican Congressman Ron Paul (2, 3), Andreas von Buelow (2) (German government minister), Indira Singh (whistleblower), Max Cleland (Former 9/11 Commissioner), US Green Party (2), Fire Engineering Magazine, Greg Palast (BBC journalist), Catherine Austin Fitts, Charles Grassley (Republican Senator), David Schippers (Attorney), Peter Dale Scott (1),William Rodriguez, Gore Vidal (journalist), Cynthia McKinney (US Congress), former ISI director-general Lt-Gen Mahmud Ahmad, Dan Ellsberg (Former Special Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense (ISA), DOD), over 100 family members (1,2, 3), senior military, intelligence, and government critics of 9/11 Commission Report and many, many more

Hi... I was wondering, why John Pilger's name is on the list.
I personally spoke with him. He doesn't really want to have anything to do with 911 Truth it seems.

[fish5133]

Pilgers name on the list due to "lazy" research. The list was cut and pasted from this websites home page.

Another way the creature can demolish free press - advertising. I once wrote an accurate review of a piece of audio equipment. It was rejected because it was not favourable enough to the advertiser.

This is why all press advertising should be outlawed. Just get an internet presence. Do not mix adding with news! That is how the fourth estate has been taken over.

Hi Rodin,

Tune your radio to 252 metres on the long wave

RTE carry advertising but it's a totally seperate department to the editorial

Ads can work sometimes

[hampton]

any good journalists are soon taught to toe the line by their editors rejecting their pieces.

they, like many people, are well within their comfort zone and anything that may upset the status quo will be instinctively rejected.

they are bribed like the rest of us and feel secure because everyone around them is in the same boat. Just like car drivers, meat eaters, plane passengers, etc.

John Pilger never ever toes the line!
It is because of this fact that he has won more awards than anyone else for his life time's work as a journalist more than anyone ever has. John Pilger is beyond any editor.
As a result of this fact, I have nearly every single documentary of his and every single book of his, plus I continue to read his works.

[rodin]

The fact that he has won awards is a red flag

i like pilger but it would be nice if he could do a piece on 911.
his journalistic weight might be the final straw.

I do apologise Rodin... Its just, I can not have anything but the highest of respect for people like John Pilger.

When I was at the Barbican Film Festival of his last year, he was asked upon this the first night infact. The man who asked the question of 911 and Loose Change... unfortunately again he was a man who was not prepared to take on all the heckling and also did not approach the subject in the most informed manner.

However, it was the way John Pilger was evading the subject, which... I can not blame him. For firstly, the man speaking about it was no expert on the subject, well it didn't seem so and he did not have the confidence in him I do not believe to take on all those hecklers. However, he was more braver than me at the time, who did not ask the question.

You see this was the first evening, so its not the greatest of starts to the whole I think week long event now was it?

However, John is working on so many projects that hes given most of his life up to. So to then go into 911 Truth, when lets face it, we are a disorganised bunch in comparison to say for instance Stop the War etc... its just not a good gamble. The Chagos Islanders see him perhaps as a saviour, then to see their saviour marred in the media by accusations of association with conspiracy theorist nuts.

John Pilger does not just represent himself. John Pilger has a duty to so many causes across the globe.

We can not blame others, but ourselves. I find it really really cheap to blame others, to call them blind and brainwashed. When we should be blaming ourselves for not being organised and clear enough, to be able to convey ourselves in a informed intelligent manner. For we are not being seen as clear, informed and intelligent. Its cheap to say, look we are clear, informed and intelligent, its not our fault, they are just stupid.

For thats the same accusations that are made against us. We must rise above this.

AGAIN - going back to the subject. We are not presenting ourselves as clear, informed and intelligent. When we have the name of John Pilger on the site and make no reference to him showing that hes 'on side'. Its out of date and its inaccurate. That makes us look pathetic. Now from that point, how can we blame others for being 'blind to the truth?'. We must first face the truth about how we present ourselves.

So can we not remove John Pilger’s name and put Paul Craig Roberts instead?


Paul Craig Roberts, PhD – Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury under Ronald Reagan, "Father of Reaganomics", Former Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal. Currently Chairman of the Institute for Political Economy and Research Fellow at the Independent Institute.

Endorsement of 9/11 and American Empire (Vol I) – Intellectuals Speak Out: "This is the most important book of our time. Distinguished national and international scientists and scholars present massive evidence that the 9/11 Commission Report is a hoax and that the 9/11 "terrorist attack" has been manipulated to serve a hegemonic agenda in the Middle East. The book's call for a truly independent panel of experts to be empowered to bring out the true facts must be heeded or Americans will never again live under accountable government."

Essay 8/16/06: "We know that it is strictly impossible for any building, much less steel columned buildings, to "pancake" at free fall speed. Therefore, it is a non-controversial fact that the official explanation of the collapse of the WTC buildings is false."

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14566.htm


Essay 2/6/06: "There are not many editors eager for writers to explore the glaring defects of the 9/11 Commission Report. One would think that if the report could stand analysis, there would not be a taboo against calling attention to the inadequacy of its explanations."

surely pilger must have studied 911?
there's lots of good sites.
he must be talking about 911 with regards the war on terror.

[Roger the Horse]

On the cover of Nafeez Ahmed's new book on the London Bombings it has a quote from John Pilger -

"Nafeez Ahmed's understanding of the post 9/11 power game, its lies,
illusions and dangers, is no less than brilliant "
