| ZELIKOW (part one / snowshoefilms series) |
 |
Philip Zelikow, 9/11 insider, is scheduled to
speak at Chautauqua Institution on August 9,
2007 (western New York, near Jamestown).
As Webster Tarpley notes, Zelikow is very
important in the 9/11 cover-up.
In 1998, Philip Zelikow published an article
in Foreign Affairs, the journal of the
Council on Foreign Relations, entitled
CATASTROPHIC TERRORISM: Imagining the
Transformative Event. Nearly two years later,
PNAC picked up the CFR-Zelikow language,
saying that the desired transformation "is
likely to be a long one, absent some
catastrophic and catalyzing event -- like a
new Pearl Harbor..."
In part one of this series, we hear from
author Webster Tarpley, Professor Graeme
MacQueen (religious studies, McMaster
University, ret.), Ken Jenkins (filmmaker),
and Peter Dale Scott, author.
Zelikow, hired as a Bush II transition team
member for his expertise on al-Qaeda
(according to Karen Hughes), didn't want to
hear anything about al-Qaeda from Richard
Clarke, chief counter-terrorism expert on
George W. Bush's national security council.
Similarly, John Ashcroft at the Dept. of
Justice didn't want to hear anything about
al-Qaeda before 9/11 from Thomas Picard,
acting director of the FBI. In these and
other instances, Zelikow as executive
director of the 9/11 Commission, suborned
perjury, Webster Tarpley charges.
Tarpley reveals Zelikow's cover-up role in
the Able Danger FBI effort to expose
"al-Qaeda" cells. Prof. Graeme MacQueen
calls attention to Zelikow's unique role in
predicting then explicating the consequences
of "the transformative event" as head of the
commission charged with investigating the
catastrophic terrorism of 9/11. Ken Jenkins
and Peter Dale Scott note that Zelikow's
expertise is in creating and exploiting
public myths, and that Zelikow's links to the
neo-cons date to the early 1980s. The 9/11
investigation was itself an inside job.

| Gerald Grattan McGeer: Bill Abram snowshoefilms #3 |
 |
Bill Abram remembers Gerald Grattan McGeer, a
crusading labor lawyer representing the
Vancouver Trades & Labour Council (Canada)
who got a chance to interrogate and lecture
the vaunted Lord MacMillan Banking
Commission, sent over from England in
depression years to fix things up. McGeer,
who had done his homework, got bankers Graham
Towers to admit, "If Parliament wants to
change the form of operating the banking
system, then certainly that is within the
power of Parliament. So they did.
Usury-free money for nearly 20 years: a
nearly debt-free era of investment in the
Commons, and the people of Canada. (part 3

| ZELIKOW'S PARALLEL UNIVERSE (snowshoefilms series /pt 2) |
 |
Zelikow, author of the 9/11 Commission
Report, responds to a couple of uncensored
questions August 9, 2007 at Chautauqua
Institution. Question 1 comes from Paul
Zarembka, editor of The Hidden History of
9-11-2001. Professor Zarembka, State
University of New York at Buffalo (Economics
Dept), asks Zelikow why he failed to
investigate reports of several of the
so-called hijackers alive and protesting
their non-involvement. Then yor yevrah of
snowshoefilms asks Zelikow about Building 7.
Zelikow says he doesn't accept the hypothesis
that any buildings were brought down by
controlled demolition.

| FETZER ON CHOMSKY: Linguistics & 9/11 (snowshoefilms) |
 |
James H. Fetzer, prof. of philosophy (U.of
Minnesota, Duluth, ret.), critiques Noam
Chomsky's linguistics and Chomsky's noted
acceptance of the official 9/11 story, the
basis for the 'war on terrorism'. Jim Fetzer
is the author of The Evolution of
Intelligence which challenges Chomsky and
Jerry Fodor "and the thesis that learning a
language requires a language learning
module..." Our view is that while language is
a crucial step toward 'consciousness', it is
not consciousness, it does not imply
consciousness. For a more metaphorically
exacting description of consciousness, see
Julian Jaynes Origin of Consciousness in the
Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Jaynes
posits a pre-conscious (bicameral) era - a
highly civilized era, in a sense - that gave
way to our 'conscious' era, an era and a
phenomenon carefully defined by the
Princeton psychologist. (snowshoefilms

| The Trial of Teddy Katz (snowshoefilms #4) |
 |
Teddy Katz, University of Haifa graduate
student, got high marks for his MA thesis on
the fate of Tantura, one of the over 500
Palestinian coastal villages obliterated by
Israel in the new state's 1948 'ethnic
cleansing.' When Katz was subsequently sued
by the alleged perpetrators, members of the
'Alexandroni Brigade,' The University of
Haifa quickly caved in, taking away Katz' MA
& refusing to stand behind his scholarship
and the university's role in overseeing and
honoring Katz (Katz had gone out of his way
to record on audio cassette his interviews, a
measure not required especially since
Israel's premier historian, Benny Morris,
discounts oral history as not useful in
Israel's special case). Katz, who suffered a
mild stroke in the early days of The Trial,
was induced to capitulate, averring that
there had been no genocide. Katz's
cousin-attorney, a ranking officer in the
Israeli army, told Katz "...that he did 'not
want to arrive at the moment that those
Palestinians that [Katz] interviewed will [be
able] to climb on the stage of court law and
begin telling what they do remember from this
war...This is going to be a very sad day for
all of us, if this will happen.'" Teddy Katz
joins the ranks of those Jews who have stood
up to Jewish Despotism, men such Uriel da
Costa, Spinoza, Israel Shahak and Mordechai
Vanunu. / yoryevrah

| Barrie Zwicker: to the 9/11 truth movement (#4 snowshoefilms |
 |
SNOWSHOEFILMS/BARRIE ZWICKER MEMO: Zwicker,
author of Towers of Deception: the media
cover-up of 9/11, offers a partial list of
techniques used by those determined to avoid
or suppress discussion of the evidence:
absurdities, ad hominem sallies, bald
assertions that are misstatements, bandwagon
psychology, bizarre non-sequiters, bullying,
diminishment of importance (of the
important), dismissiveness, diversion (e.g.,
not answering the question), failure to
provide minimal evidence, fake humility, fake
open-mindedness, false parallels, false
syllogisms, framing to exclude contrary
outlooks, ignorance flaunted as admirable,
insinuation, internal contradiction, major
premises hidden in passing, misdirection,
misleading asides, mixing metaphors (apples
and oranges), obfuscation, restriction of
options, scare tactics, setting up straw men,
sweeping generalizations, and word inflation.
In future parts of this series, we will
illustrate Chomsky's post-9/11 use of many of
these techniques.
Zwicker here also explores cognitive
dissonance, psychological projection,
hypnosis, trance state induction (largely as
covered by Douglas Rushkoff and his book,
Coercion as well as Steven Pinker (a Chomsky
protoge).
Rushkoff's book is useful, but limited,
especially in comparison to Julian Jaynes'
work, The Origin of Consciousness in the
Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Rushkoff
examines consciousness and the manipulation
of it from sort of a reformed behaviorist
perspective.
We've arbitrarily inserted in this video
three images that aren't especially integral:
George Estabrooks' 1949 how-to book, Using
Hypnosis; (two) Leon Festinger's how-to book,
A Theory of Cognitive Dissonance; and finally
(three) Jaynes' book.
Jaynes, for all his brilliance and
principled being, ignored the
government-corporate exploitation of the
vestigial bicameral mind that he identified
in his great work.
George Estabrooks (Hypnosis) was a happy
cold war psy war technician: he believed in
'the mission'. Commies were evil and
conniving and he would do anything he could
to beat them at their purported game. For
Estabrooks, hypnosis was a gimmick and he
could get anybody to do anything under
hypnosis and said so. Like a good
behaviorist, he didn't give a rats ass how
hypnosis worked, only that it did work and
you had to be careful with it. Dr. Estabrooks
(Colgate University) worked for various
branches of secret government, undoubtedly
integrated into MKULTRA.
Leon Festinger's book, A Theory of
Cognitive Dissonance, was commissioned by the
CIA (via the Ford Foundation). Festinger lead
a team of cold-war behaviorists to figure out
how to exploit cognitive dissonance. Stanford
published their manual in 1957. Like
Estabrooks, the behaviorists don't bother
much about why or how of hypnosis or the
exploitation of cognitive dissonance works,
only that it works.
Julian Jaynes (of Princeton), wasn't
paying attention to the behaviorists he
angrily but prematurely dismissed in the 60s.
Another arbitrary sort of insertion in
this video: Frank Luntz, one of the
psy-warriors Zwicker generically refers to. A
free-lance psywarrior, Luntz famously sold
the Bush administration on pounding 9/11 and
'the terrorists' up front in all Bush admin.
speeches. David Brancaccio's July 1974 (on
NOW, PBS) interview with Luntz is revealing.
Luntz recalls that one of the tricks he
learned from mentor Tony Schwartz (The
Responsive Chord), is that you don't try to
inform or teach, what you do is find narrow
self-interest and fear and connect with that,
find the responsive chord. In this sequence,
Luntz demonstrates another Schwartz
technique: throw the target off guard with
rhetorical questions.
The questions are rhetorical to
Brancaccio because he's imprisoned in the
construct (belief system, or collective
cognitive imperative) that Luntz, like
Zelikow, is committed to reinforcing.

| 9/11: Canada is life-blinding itself (snowshoefilms #2) |
 |
JOHN McMURTRY (part 2) In Sept. 2000, the
PNAC published an article which observed that
the "process of transformation...is likely to
be a long one, absent some catastrophic and
catalyzing event -- like a new Pearl Harbor."
The principal author of that article was
Thomas Donnelly, who shortly after 9/11 went
to work for Lockheed Martin.
In part 2 of this series, Professor John
McMurtry explains why 9/11 happened when it
did, and calls attention to Canadian media
cover-up of the crime which accepts and
promotes the implausible conspiracy theory.
Illustrating the restrictions on public
debate in Canada, McMurtry recalls the March
18, 2003 CBC TV debate between himself and
Thomas Donnelly, who's identified as a PNAC
founder and AEI "fellow." To charges that
Donnelly was advocating war crimes by calling
for and planning for the invasion of Iraq,
Donnelly offers this mantra-like defense,
"The use of American power in the world has
been, as a matter of practical and historical
fact, the sole reliable instrument, first of
all, for bringing peace and stability and
freedom to the European continent. Secondly,
we hope now to do the same sort of thing in
Iraq."
Within the media, the upshot of this debate
was that the CBC producer who brought
McMurtry on the program was fired, demoted
out. Word of such corporate response gets
around quickly and self-censorship tends to
follow. Official media contributes to the
life-blinding of the public, and itself.
(Part 3 concludes with a structural analysis
of the structural analysts). 10 min.
