Deconstructing media disinfo tactics against Ron Johnson

Numerous hit pieces follow an identical pattern

By Craig McKee

The propaganda attacks on Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson by the mainstream media are relentless, and they follow a familiar pattern.

Johnson has been targeted since he told podcaster Benny Johnson that he favored a new investigation of 9/11 that would include examining what really brought down the three World Trade Center towers.

In a previous article, I gave some examples of the initial attacks that followed the April 21 release of the Johnson interview. In this follow-up, I will reach into my two-part examination of Continue reading

Two things got me through Covid: Jimmy Dore and Abba

Jimmy Dore interviews Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in 2023.

I have learned to cope, and love and hope is why I am here now.” – Abba’s Don’t Shut Me Down.

By Craig McKee

I had a tough time during the Covid “pandemic.” Not because I got sick or because I lost anyone, but because I watched helplessly as some of my worst fears about the future of the world came true.

The fact that it was so easy to predict where things were going made it even more soul crushing when they went exactly that way.

Throughout the Covid period, I was no barrel of laughs (I might have been more fun than Mussolini but just barely). As I vented my bitterness on social media, I took large helpings of Continue reading

Emerging from its darkest period, 9/11 truth finds new hope – a commentary

(I wrote this commentary for Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. You can find the original here. Please continue to support AE911Truth! It has also been posted on my other blog, Thought Crimes and Misdemeanors.)

Do you want the good news or the not so good? Would you rather hear that the glass is half full or half empty?

Whichever way you might wish to describe the state of 9/11 truth in 2024, the effort to expose the deception of September 11, 2001, to the wider population of the U.S. and the world is still alive after 23 years.

With little fanfare, those who have fought to expose the 9/11 false flag have stuck to their guns in the face of all establishment efforts to protect the lie. Some have raised awareness, some have done essential research on the evidence, Continue reading

Under any other name… COINTELPRO is alive and well in 2024

Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. … We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. – Edward Bernays, Propaganda

By Craig McKee

They say it ended more than half a century ago. Ancient history.

COINTELPRO (which stands for Counterintelligence Program) was a covert and illegal FBI operation started by J. Edgar Hoover in 1956. It ended in 1971 after its existence was revealed to the world.

But did it really end?

According to Wikipedia, COINTELPRO was aimed at “surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting American political organizations that the FBI perceived as subversive.” In the 1960s, the program was used particularly against groups like the Black Panthers and other “black power” groups as well Continue reading

IC911’s Walter urged Hulsey to abandon the organization that funded his Building 7 study

The “dream team”: Woodworth, Ryan, Langlois, Robinson, Walter, Gourley, and Chandler.

Walter sabotaged AE after being fired. Then he joined forces with those who have been undermining AE and suppressing the Pentagon evidence for years

I’ve been asserting for some time that there is a campaign being waged – now under the banner of the recently created “International Center for 9/11 Justice” – to eliminate and replace Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth as the Truth Movement’s leading organization.

Although the pattern has been evident for months, I can now bring you the most glaring piece of evidence yet to show what the IC911’s agenda really is. This comes in the form of a Continue reading

Memoir recounts ordeal of candidate ‘canceled’ by media

Journalist who challenged 9/11 story smeared by B’nai Brith, blogger as anti-Semitic ‘conspiracy theorist’

July 21, 2024

By Barrie Zwicker

Canadian journalist and broadcaster Lesley Hughes compellingly describes her return from the dead in her 150-page memoir, The Dead Candidate’s Report.

The title of the book refers to the personal and professional nightmare she suffered when she was vilified then banished as the Liberal candidate in the Winnipeg, Manitoba, riding of Kildonan-St. Paul in the 2008 Canadian federal election. She shares indelible lessons she learned about the Canadian media—and media in general—of which she remains a part.

The first lesson was about the power of toxic bloggers, one of whom (an anonymous one) ambushed Hughes, slandering her as an anti-Israeli, Continue reading

Richard Gage’s support for ‘new’ organization is reminiscent of a failed test of integrity from the past

In praising creation of the International Center for 9/11 Justice, Gage continues to shield the cabal that pushes almost every element of the Pentagon official story

July 4, 2023

By Craig McKee

Recently, AE911Truth founder Richard Gage posted an article on his website about the creation of the International Center for 9/11 Justice. In this article, Gage is effusive in his praise for the “new” organization, which he hails as a great advance for the 9/11 Truth Movement. In doing so, he compounds past harm he has done to the movement in the form of his support for a cabal that is determined to Continue reading

Truth Movement loses Shelton Lankford, a man of great integrity

“There is nothing wrong with this paper that a trip through a shredder and a sincere apology to CIT and the 9/11 Truth community could not cure.” — Shelton Lankford on the 2011 David Chandler/Frank Legge paper “The Pentagon Attack on 9/11: A Refutation of the ‘Flyover Hypothesis’”

By Craig McKee

Lankford saw parallels between 9/11 and JFK.

The 9/11 Truth Movement has lost a major figure and a truth seeker of real integrity. And we don’t have either to spare these days.

Lt. Col. Shelton F. Lankford passed away a few days ago of esophageal cancer. I can’t tell you much about his 77 years of life, just about the time when our lives intersected over the past decade or so. It was my privilege to have known Shelton, and I can tell you that he was a highly principled person and a passionate advocate of truth.

Before becoming a commercial pilot, he flew for the Marine Corps, experiencing war first hand. In flying more than 300 Continue reading
