I am so fucking sick and tired of people taking unfair shots at FAIR (I
defended FAIR, y'all recall, when those corruptos at Alternet tried to
impugn).
I am so fucking sick and tired of people taking unfair shots at Ruppert (and
since he right now is emotionalizing the people, pro and con, I will gladly
defend him again, and it seems that I may be required by conscience to do so
sometime soon in the loudest voice I can muster.)
This is my bottom line: The official story on 9/11 is bullshit. The public
has no idea. Even Sy Hersh, who has spent more time than anybody except
perhaps Ruppert investigating what happened has come to the same conclusion.
Ruppert is passionately shaking the trees, and where is everybody else, ye
radicals? What is this hostility to the spirit of investigation? How did
"conspiracy theorist" replace "communist" in the New McCarthyism?
The investigations are perculating. Don't get on the wrong side of history.
The official story is so full of shit that it is going to fall.
In sum, the burden of proof is with those in power. And to place it upon
each other is fucking pathetic bullshit. Excuse my French, but it is four
a.m. somewhere in a country called América, I am in a very bad mood, and as
I've told Ruppert time and time again, he can sometimes over-react to
criticisms, but now I wish to tell my friends Of The Left (most of whom are
probably to the center of me): When you attack Ruppert, you appear in the
photo as completely ridiculous. To me, anyway.
Just stop it! All of you! And get back to the work of investigation. If one
of us turns out to be corrupt, attack away. Nobody's alleged in the
slightest that Ruppert is corrupt or dishonest. Obviously, he is not. But if
one of us ocassionally overstates a case, well, okay, critique is good, but
a softer touch is required, and better done directly, face to face, without
all this public psychodrama. At least it should be tried first. I'm willing
to play referee if any parties wish to really speak, but I won't hold my
breath waiting for that.
The situation, today, is not easy. Most of us will soon be in the same
foxhole, under the same enemy fire. Obviously, I believe in criticism. But I
believe, most of all, in smart criticism. And the critiques against Ruppert
have so far fallen short of that bar. And you people who are criticizing
him: where is your critique of the official story of the massacre of
September 11th? Unless and until you do that, the rest is fluff.
