TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: The 4^th anniversary of the events of September 11, 2001, will take place this Sunday. For over a year I was a true believer in the official story as put forth by our government and corporate media, explaining the events, or at least some aspects of the events of that day. It was only after I started TvNewsLIES.org in response to the outright lies told by the media regarding the invasion of Iraq, that I started noticing a similar, if not more drastic pattern of deception by our media regarding the events of 9/11.

To this day there are many people, even many long time supporters of TvNewsLIES.org and my close personal friends who refuse to believe that there is a possibility of government complicity or cover up. Well let me tell you this, there is no doubt in my mind, after 4 years of research, that the official story is a fairy tale and that at the very least members of our government permitted the events to unfold as they did.

I defy anyone to continue to believe the official fairy tale after watching the DVD “Confronting the Evidence” or the recent hearings on the 9/11 Commission report held by Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Before you think this is a sales pitch to elicit donations…I do not offer these DVDs on my site. As a matter of fact I will be giving out free copies of Confronting the Evidence at ground zero this Sunday AM. As far as the McKinney hearings go, I will search ways to make this available to my readers for free. I will tell you that after watching the hearings there is no way in life a reasonable person will not understand that the official story is nothing more than a cover story, and a pretty bad one at that.

It is already way past the time that we remove from office the people who were involved in the acts of 9/11. But with each day of denial every person who remains complacent and unwilling to at least examine the evidence becomes more guilty in helping to protect the perpetrators of the events that changed the world. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

SPECIAL NOTE 9/11: For those of you who would like to meet me: I will be attending several events on 9/11 in New York. I will be at ground zero at approximately 8:30 AM handing out free “Confronting the Evidence” DVDs. Dylan Avery, writer and director of the DVD Loose Change, is also planning meeting me at ground zero, although I am not sure what time he will be there. If I have definitive information regarding my agenda for the day I will post it on my blog.

SPECIAL NOTE TO OUR FRIENDS DOWN SOUTH: My thoughts are with all the victims of Katrina. I wish you all a peaceful resolution to your trying situation.

QUESTION: Have you forwarded this e-mail to anyone today? Consider doing so for you will be helping to inform the people of this nation about the vital issues that are hidden from them by our corporate media. Make this nation a better place, educate, inform and enlighten your fellow citizens!

If you believe that the American corporate media are our greatest enemy let the people know how you feel.

POLITICS : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news#politics

· After Katrina fiasco, time for Bush to go - We have a president who is apparently ill-informed, lackadaisical and narrow-minded, surrounded by oil baron cronies, religious fundamentalist crazies and right-wing extremists and ideologues. He has appointed officials who give incompetence new meaning, who replace the positive role of government with expensive baloney. - They rode into office in a highly contested election, spouting a message of bipartisanship but determined to undermine the federal government in every way but defense (and, after 9/11, one presumed, homeland security). One with Grover Norquist, they were determined to shrink Washington until it was "small enough to drown in a bathtub." Katrina has stripped the veil from this mean-spirited strategy, exposing the greed, mindlessness and sheer profiteering behind it. - It is time to hold them accountable - this ugly, troglodyte crowd of Capital Beltway insiders, rich lawyers, ideologues, incompetents and their strap-hangers should be tarred, feathered and ridden gracefully and mindfully out of Washington and returned to their caves, clubs in hand.

· Bush's response to disaster all too typical - Is George W. Bush a serious person? It's not a question to ask lightly of a decent man who holds the U.S. presidency, an office worthy of respect.

Some of these highly respected individuals even believe that 9/11 may have been an inside job. It can be very uncomfortable to even consider the possibility that certain individuals within government were involved either in allowing the attacks to happen, or in some way facilitating them in order to forward their hidden agendas.
