well, it seems to me you are way to easy to dismiss the simple idea of the government is behind anything. do you think these are infallible, uncorruptable people in charge? i think it is OUR duty to protect OUR rights as individuals and as a society. take a step back and look at history. if you learn nothing there then perhaps you are better served in a different field. who wins dictates the truth. not the greatest strategy for humanity but unfortunately it’s all we’ve got.
Hi Betsy, is it irresponsible to consider these quotes from the firefighter transcripts on 9/11?
“The captain of emergency medical services said “somewhere around the middle of the world trade center there was this orange and red flash coming out … initially it was just one flash then this flash just kept popping all the way around the building and that building had started to explode … and with each popping sound it was initially an orange and then red flash came out of the building and then it would just go all around the building on both sides … as far as could see these popping sounds and the explosions were getting bigger going both up and down and then all around the building” (page 15—pdf file; Google’s web version is here)”
“Similiarly, the Assistant Fire Commissioner stated “I thought . . . before . . . No. 2 came down, that I saw low-level flashes. . . . I . . . saw a flash flash flash . . . [at] the lower level of the building. You know like when they . . . blow up a building. . . ?” . In the same statement, the Assistant Commissioner recounts how a lieutenant firefighter he spoke with independently verified the flashes.”

You can choose to live in ignorance if you choose, but don’t you dare try to silence those that choose not to.
9/11/01 was a horrific day in American History. No doubt about that.
What I do doubt however, after watching your appearance on Hannity and Colmes, is your ability as a journalist to seek the truth.
If you are so strong in your convictions that the Official Story of 9/11 is true, why not make even a shallow attempt to prove that instead of attacking the characters of the people questioning it? What exactly are you hiding?
Why attempt to discredit people that have spent countless hours investigating the events of 9/11, far more than you yourself have done (obviously).
Using your own logic, its arguable that “believing that the 9/11 truth “conspiracy nutbags” are simply that, nutbags, is far more reassuring and comfortable than to admit perhaps your own government was complicit in the events of that day. Have you never read the Northwoods documents? Have you ever read the mission statement of PNAC? Do you even know what PNAC is??
I’m not sure what kind of journalist you are, but it doesn’t seem that you’re even remotely versed in this issue enough to offer commentary on it.
Please answer the following for us conspiracy nuts. When you get done with these I have many other questions for you.
PS: What makes you a qualified expert? Why are you and many others afraid of a truly independent investigation by experts such as Professor Jones among many others? WHY!
Why was all the structural steel shipped overseas for disposal? Why did WTC 7 come down? Until these can be answered I think we should start planning a keel hauling party. I didn’t mention that the buildings fell at terminal velocity for that height and weren’t slowed by the next supporting floor, but that would only lead to silly discussions about physics being a theory like evolution and so not allowed to be entered as evidence in Kentucky.
Betsy either your too stupid, scared for your prfessional career or part of this ZIONIST ambush that is trying to take over America. OPEN your eyes to the truth. If you have children or loved ones and you really care for them then help expose the truth. The innocent lives of over 3000 americans and over 2000 US soldiers that have died since we were tricked into this unjust war because of 9\11 should be justified and a honest attempt should be made to learn the truth about 9\11.I dare you to visit www.prisonplanet.com and learn the truth if you trully are an American.
yanno whats funny about all of this.. here is a group of people all working toward a goal, exposing 9/11 and here is a woman who says she’s a reporter saying YOU’RE ALL WRONG! spouting some kinda CoIntelPro psychobabble or something. i dunno, i dont think, after reading her blog, she’s really smart enough to be CoIntelPro.. but whatever she is, she isn’t a reliable source of information and WHY ON EARTH did fox discredit themselves by allowing this woman to speak on their show? they did the biggest disservice to themseleves, not Charlie Sheen.
when ya try to prove someone wrong and the only thing you ahve to do that with is inane tripe and sarcasm, it says a lot more about you than the person who claims to have a valid argument.
its embarassing to have people like you speak in public, claiming that you represent the voice of america. really.. embarssing. you dont speak for me lady.
Just look into this with an open mind. Don’t dismiss everything because it isn’t the story that you’ve heard.
Let’s say the Bush administration DID have something to do with this. They’re not going to tell you. The main stream information isn’t reliable, it’s controlled.
You made the comment that Hollywood is out of touch with the main stream, like it’s a bad thing. Main stream does not automatically mean true, accurate, or good.
Wow! Look at all these real Americans that agree 100% with you. You’re right we should’t ask “questions” or look at the “evidence”. Because that may lead to the “truth”. And again you’re right on babe! Conspiracy theories are just for “fun”. And silly me was just about to blame the USA government and then become a bliss ninny by that comforting fact that my own government has been completely and utterly hijacked by mass murdering thugs and thieves. But tonight I sleep like a baby lamb, because it’s only Islamist 10,000 miles away that want to kill me. And you were so right on that last word you put forth, “Hollywood just doesn’t get it”. Thanks for sorting it all out.
GOd bless (that is if you believe in him and all:)

BTW … maybe you’d like to ‘pull it’ in your bio where you reference … “Hart appeared some twenty times on the [Bill Maher] program with stars like Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin” ... “Rob Lowe” “Ted Dansen” and “Oprah” . Cuz aren’t those folk “Hollywood”?

Thinking our own government has it in for us is reassuring…how, exactly?

Seeking the truth will prevent another attack wouldn’t you think?
— somebigguy Mar 24, 09:11 PM #
And what about Truth, Justice, and the “American Way”????
Since when is it you can’t be bothered to hold people accountable for a false flag terrorist attack like 9/11?
Maybe if Cheney points the next plane directly at your living room you’d find the time to try to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Taking another look at your blog here, I notice two things that stand out to me.
1) You said you received many emails in support of Sheen.
2) all of your comments here are negative.
DOESNT THAT TELL YOU SOMETHING????
Or are we all crazy and you’re the sane one? (God help us if thats true.)

EUREKA! A quote from the homepage of this site:
Previously, Hart served on the Reagan White House staff as a spokesman in the office of media relations.
CoIntelPro indeed.. good call Andy.
