• WHAT:  9/11 Truth Film Festival
• WHERE:  Grand Lake Theater, Oakland, CA
• WHEN:  September 11, 2012, 2:00 p.m. till 11:00 p.m.

The eighth annual 9/11 Truth Film Festival will explore eventsrelated to 9/11, what featured speaker, professor, author, former  diplomat, Peter Dale Scott has termed “deep events” — those that are systematically ignored or falsified in the mainstream media and public consciousness.

The Film Festival, will be held again at the historic Grand Lake Theater, 3200 Grand Ave, Oakland, on Tuesday, September 11, 2012 from 2 pm to 11 pm, and is a benefit for the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance.  Tickets are $10- $7 at the door.

9/11 bears the fingerprints of an audacious false flag operation, but it also fits into a long historical pattern of events designed to provoke and alter public sentiment and behavior.

A range of films and film excerpts, along with speakers, will analyze multiple events, including the Oakland bombing of activist Judi Bari, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the 7/7 London bombings.

Speakers will include Chris Emery film producer of A Noble Lie – Oklahoma City 1995; Professor Peter Phillips and Mickey Huff of Project Censored; Mark Gaffney, author of Black 9/11 Money, Motive, and Technology and The 9/11 Mystery Plane And the Vanishing of America.

In addition to the films specifically about 9/11, including The Toronto Hearings on 9/11 Uncovering Ten Years of Deception, the new one hour television version of 9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out, will be screened, and the film Fishead will premiere and cast light on psychopaths, empathy, authority and the power of moral courage.

Bonnie Faulkner, producer of the popular KPFA radio program Guns and Butter, will serve again as mistress of ceremonies.  More details are posted at http://www.SF911Truth.org.

Media falsifiers: censorship by mainstream liberal media

Redress

Paul J. Balles argues that the media lie of the moment reverberates through liberal TV channels pretending to report the news from all angles and from all points of view but in reality exercising censorship through omission and emphasis.

I am not blaming those who are resolved to rule, only those who show an even greater readiness to submit. (Thucydides)

Day after day, TV anchor after anchor has been boasting "News from all angles, from all points of view".

There's never been such an open campaign to convince television viewers they aren't being brainwashed by the media's restricted point of view.

In what appears to be an attempt to outfox the Fox News Network, which has never admitted the truth about their own political bias, the more liberal networks of NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and CNN now propagandize their viewers with outright lies.

Dozens of liberal commentators, from MSNBC's Chris Matthews to CNN's Christiane Amanpour, have been making a mantra out of "News from all angles, from all points of view".

“Facebook, Twitter, blogs and websites with alternative news and commentary are slowly making mainstream media obsolete.”

When a media spokesperson makes a claim like that, he or she should make sure of its truth or refuse to repeat the falsehood.

Those who have been misinforming their audiences are intelligent enough to know that they are deceiving their viewers. Is it possible, for example, that any news reporter would not know of the media’s anti-Islamic brainwashing?

How can they continue to report on events like the Quran burning or the objections to the planned Islamic centre in New York without exposing the Islamaphobia? Where has the Muslim angle or point of view in the news been?

The internet is full of examples of under-reported news. One source of such stories is Project Censored, which lists the top censored stories of 2011:

1. Global plans to replace the dollar
2. US Department of Defence is the worst polluter on the planet
3. Internet privacy and personal access at risk
4. ICE operates secret detention and courts
5. Blackwater (Xe): the secret US war in Pakistan
6. Health care restrictions cost thousands of lives in US
7. External capitalist forces wreak havoc in Africa
8. Massacre in Peruvian Amazon over US Free Trade Agreement
9. Human rights abuses continue in Palestine
10. US Funds and supports the Taliban

Harvard Professor Stephen Walt reports that as early as 2005, 78 per cent of the news media, 72 per cent of military leaders and 69 per cent of foreign affairs specialists believed that backing Israel seriously damages America's image around the world.

That factual revelation isn’t something you hear on TV. If 78 per cent of the news media hold that belief, they are not reporting it.

Ex-Israeli author and jazz musician Gilad Atzmon writes regular internet columns on the Middle East. He has zero respect for the mainstream media, commenting:

Our independent websites and blogs are far more informative than the mainstream media. Collectively, we provide a source of information that people can trust, and we are rapidly becoming the main source of information.

Facebook, Twitter, blogs and websites with alternative news and commentary are slowly making mainstream media obsolete.

Major stories have been censored by the mainstream media. Often the censorship raises questions about why an important story has been censored.

The media has kept the fact that Obama has cut domestic spending while increasing military spending under wraps. Much military spending is unjustifiable and wasted.

Apart from any conspiracy theories about 9/11, serious questions about discrepancies in the official reports have been totally ignored by leading commentators.

Also censored by the networks are health risks in personal products like cosmetics and suntan lotion with nanotech particles.

Not satisfied with manufacturing cover-ups, the networks have now resorted to brainwashing viewers with lies about reporting the news from all angles and all points of view.

Las Vegas Mayoral Candidate Sees Own Vote Flipped to Opponent on Touch-screen Voting Machine

Brad Friedman

Brad Blog

It took two tries, but Carolyn Goodman, candidate for Mayor of Las Vegas and wife of current Mayor Oscar Goodman, was finally able to vote for herself today on Nevada's illegally-certified, 100% unverifiable Sequoia AVC Edge touch-screen voting machines. At least she thinks she did. Whether her vote will actually be counted for her is something that nobody can ever know...

When Goodman pushed the button next to her name on a voting machine at the Public Administration Building downtown, [Chris] Giunchigliani's name popped up.

 

"I touched my name and strangely ended up with my opponent," a visibly worried Goodman said from her voting booth.

She pushed the button a second time and successfully voted for herself.

"I think it's the finger nails," Goodman said afterward. "Obviously, I'm voting for myself."

Goodman said she heard of similar problems taking place at polling places Friday, the last day of early voting.

No, it ain't the fingernails, Carolyn. It's the machines.

As we revealed in our investigative exposé in the 2008 book Loser Take All: Election Fraud and the Subversion of Democracy, 2000-2008, and summarized in our article on the Reid/Angle election for U.S. Senator just before Election Day last year, Nevada's Sequoia touch-screen voting machines were illegally certified in 2004 by then NV Secretary of State, now recently-appointed (to take the place of disgraced Sen. John Ensign) NV Republican U.S. Senator, Dean Heller.

The failure that Goodman experienced, and noticed, made her just the latest in a string of celebs and candidates who have had similar problems with 100% unverifiable voting machines --- as still used by some 20 to 30% of voters in the U.S. --- either flipping their votes, or not allowing them to vote at all.

Most famously, perhaps, was Oprah Winfrey, who, during early voting in the 2008 Presidential election, noticed that the computer (also a touch-screen made by Sequoia) had dropped her vote for President all together.

Earlier that same year, during February's "Super Tuesday" primary, then NJ Gov. John Corzine (D) was unable to vote for 45 minutes when Sequoia's AVC Advantage touch-screen systems failed to boot up at all when the polls opened.

During early voting in the 2008 general election, election integrity filmmaker Patricia Earnhardt, executive producer of the award-winning 2006 documentary Uncounted: The New Math of American Elections, which deals, in no small part, with the problems and perils of 100% unverifiable e-voting, saw her own vote flipped on an ES&S iVotronic touch-screen machine in Nashville (Davidson County), TN.

The BRAD BLOG has reported on countless such incidents over the past eight years with little or nothing being done, in most cases, to keep the same failures from occurring again in future elections. Indeed, we wrote an entire chapter about similar widespread failures during the 2008 election cycle alone for Project Censored's Censored 2010: The Top 25 Censored Stories of 2008-09.

One of "favorite" occurrences is what happened to poor Randy Wooten, mayoral candidate of Waldenburg, Arkansas in 2006...

 

Wooten was running for mayor in the rural Poinsett County town with a population of just 80 people that year, when he learned, after the close of polls on Election Night, that he had received a grand total of ZERO votes, as reported by the county's ES&S iVotronic touch-screen voting systems.

As AP noted at the time, Wooten said, "I had at least eight or nine people who said they voted for me, so something is wrong with this picture." Among those people who Wooten believed had voted for him: himself and his wife.

Wooten wasn't the only candidate to come up with ZERO votes from an electronic voting system, however. After the Republican primary election in March of 2006,The BRAD BLOG reported on the same problem when it occurred for the conservative former state Supreme Court Justice Steve Smith, but on a much wider scale. Smith had attempted to contest the election after learning that he'd reportedly lost the statewide election by 100% in Winkler County. That's right. Smith was said to have received ZERO votes there, despite having won handily in that same county previously. In 2002 he won Winkler by 74%, and in 2004 he'd won by 65%, yet somehow he managed to lose by a whopping 100% in 2006.

In that same 2006 primary election, ES&S and Hart Intercivic voting machines added a full 100,000 phantom votes to the tally in Tarrant County (Fort Worth), TX. Unfortunately, the state's requirement to make one's case in an election contest, even in a statewide case, within just days after the election --- and without access to forensic computer analysis of the corporate e-voting systems --- made it impossible for him to file a contest, despite the obvious and extraordinary failures of the state's e-voting systems.

Everything old is new again. Even in Sin City tonight.
