"Our Producer Won't Allow That Question"!! 'The Connection" Re: 911/ LIHOP
Edited on Tue Feb-17-04 11:50 AM by masmdu
"The Connection" Radio Show about 911 Wont Allow My Question re LIHOP!!!!

I called. Got through. Was told I would be next, I could hear the quest/host talking ...about to take my call. A lady asked what my comment or question is. I said I'd like to ask the guest

(four ladies who are pushing to get the 911 commision to dig deeply into unanswered questions)

"for their opinion on the PNAC document that calls for a 'New Pearl Harbor' to galvanize popular support for US expansionism in the middle east and if, in view of the PNAC document, they have any belief in the idea that the administration "Let It Happen On Purpose" (LIHOP)"

She came back in 2 seconds and said, "OUR PRODUCER WON'T ALLOW THAT QUESTION"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Link
....calls for a 'New Pearl Harbor' to galvanize popular support for US expansionism in the middle east

I don't doubt you - I've spent some time on the PNAC website - but do you have a link to the article that specifically says that?

Thanks

19. Probably the most frightening part of the entire paper can be found...
...in a section titled "Transforming US Conventional Forces," which starts at the top of page 70, column 1. Reading down to page 72, column 1, you find that this group of authors contemplates the eventual "use of microbes" in the "art of warfare," and "...advanced forms of biological warfare that can 'target' specific genotypes..." transforming "...biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool."

I absolutely guarantee you that those target genotypes will not have white skin. These people want to remake the world after Hitler's vision. The war in Iraq and the PATRIOT Act are a picnic at Disneyland compared to what they have planned.


Note: page 70 in Adobe Acrobat is actually page 58 of the actual document.

2. The trick is to say you're going to ask a question flattering to the Bush
administration, then, once you're on the air, ask the REAL question.

13. Exactly... never tell a call screener your real question
Always have passive, lame questions to tell the call screeners.

8. NPR is moving farther right-Dick Gordon is a Republican
"The Connection" and "On Point" are good shows, though. Just don't be surprised that your call didn't get through. WBUR and NPR are slaves to their corporate sponsors.

10. The producer probably wants to keep his job, and the station wants to

keep its license.

15. But they let a couple of rabid PRO "Patriot Act" callers in.
I listened online ... heard some of the rabid right wingers who attacked just for asking the questions. I thought the show was a LOT more mild than it could have been. Gordon mentioned the two page "list of questions" for the committe, but never got around to exploring it. Amazing, since that list is stunning.

I've emailed Dick Gordon in the past and gotten a personal reply. It wasn't a very satisfying one, but still he did get back to me personally via email. It's worth a shot, although I would HOPE that he's getting a lot of mail about this show. I know I'm going to try contacting him about this.

Perhaps it IS a good idea not to let the screeners know your real question. Too bad it has to come to that on NPR.

18. You can write to the "Jersey Girls" here...
This is their website and you can let them know the radio station was screening questions.
