This piece is no way an attempt to report any of the millions of facts, cases and details regarding the countless problems with the "official" story of the events of 9/11. There are enough thoroughly researched and well documented books, studies, and documentary films that have already done so with great success. It is rather a wake up call for those who simply refuse or have trouble believing that there is more to the story. The following article, 9/11 and the Orwellian Redefinition of "Conspiracy Theory" by Paul Craig Roberts eloquently addresses how the corporate media’s response to facts about 9/11 that don’t support the accepted “official” story of the government are continuously disregarded as “wild conspiracy theories”. Instead of addressing the considerable amount of facts and evidence amassed by credible experts, the corporate establishment media continuously attempts to ridicule and discredit those who speak out about them in an effort to dogmatically reinforce the government's story. Please note that Paul Craig Roberts is not a "conspiracy theorist", he actually served as an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for the Reagan administration and has been an editor and columnist for The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and Scripps Howard News Service. He has written and co-written eight books, contributed numerous chapters and articles to other books and has been published by many journals of scholarship. To quote Roberts directly,
“A ‘conspiracy theory’ no longer means an event explained by a conspiracy. Instead, it now means any explanation, or even a fact, that is out of step with the government’s explanation and that of its media pimps.”
