[lbo-talk] Fisk avoiding facts? really?

Here is just one short list of important work published since 9/11:

Here is another database:

There are many other outstanding books, articles and web sites on the subject. My challenge is not just for any naysaying "anti-conspiracy" advocate (from the Left, or from anyone from any point along the political spectrum) to read the material. My challenge, make it a dare, is to present a thorough counter-case for the events of September 11, as well as an accurate analysis of the global war that has been waged in its name. If "conspiracy theorists" have it wrong, then what really happened? Let's hear it.

To date, not one Left progressive intellect or journalist has presented his or her explanation of the events of September 11, 2001. Not one Left presentation has noted, much less explained, the vast array of irregularities, official lies, and continuing falsehoods that have been routinely exposed by independent investigators.

In fact, the Left has from the start fully embraced the official version of events without accurate critical analysis of even easily available facts. Immediately, Left voices fell into line with the Bush administration's elaborate fabrications and pretexts of a "war on terrorism", helping cement this gigantic lie into public consciousness, while also totally ignoring the events of 9/11 itself. The obvious falsehoods have not been touched since the day, and remain largely unaddressed and unsolved.

A now-classic example of this slippery Left treatment of 9/11 is exemplified by Noam Chomsky in his book "9-11", which even begins with the ridiculous declaration that 9/11 was "the first time the US has been attacked by foreigners on its own soil since the War of 1812"---this despite no investigation of actual fact. Chomsky has continued to deny 9/11 as "hopelessly implausiable internet theory", even as the Bush adminstration itself and corporate media organs have increasingly admitted 9/11 coverup, even forcing the creation of a number of so-called investigative panels to quiet the controversy today.

If 9/11 were as easily dismissable as Fisk asserts, then what explains all of the official scrambling going in? Why is the Bush administration and all of its subsidiaries refusing to come clean? Why are they refusing to even hand over documents to Congressional fix-it officials?

The Left, for the most part, has assisted coverup of every major government crime in modern history, from the 1960s assassinations, to Iran-Contra, to the present. The Left (or the construct that it became since COINTELPRO,Operation Mockingbird, and other programs destroyed what was genuine anti-war/anti-imperialism, post-Vietnam) has routinely dismissed blatant high office as inconsequential---and attacked those who properly raise alarm.
