"We're With You": Employees Indicate Sympathy With Aims of Local Activists, Unable to Speak Out
The media moratorium on coverage of recent findings relating to the September 11th attacks is not exclusively an American phenomenon. Even though the metallurgical fingerprints of military cutting charges have been found in the rubble of the twin towers and independent investigators have unearthed footage of the BBC's American bureau demonstrating foreknowledge in the collapse of World Trade Centre 7 - revelations for which one might expect a headline or two - nothing but a stony silence is heard from our national media institutions.
Perhaps hoping, then, that this indicated mere ignorance rather than collusion, some thirty members of a local activist group rallied in the shadow of the CBC's monolithic office and operations centre on Monday afternoon to bring these and other issues to the attention of CBC employees and passerby. However, John Burns, a member of local activist group Toronto 9/11 Truth, found that when CBC employees leaving the building turned down the materials he was passing out, they indicated that they were not allowed to take them. Additionally, one CBC employee stated that, although they were not permitted to discuss it in an official capacity, many were aware of the problems with the official myth of the 9/11 tragedy and confided, "we're with you".
Has the control of information for political reasons, rather than its free dissemination, become the mandate of Canadian editorial boards? Consider the case of John Gleeson, editor of the Winnipeg Sun. Faced with the prospect of being laid off due to a Sunmedia restructuring initiative, he apparently decided that his two week's notice was sufficient opportunity to pen a final editorial entitled 'War On Terror Looks Like a Fraud', revealing that "many Americans (including academics and former top US government officials) [are] now questioning even the physical facts of 9/11". Which begs the question - what was preventing him from writing this article before?

Informed and enraged about the same things, and also from the Toronto area, lets link each other?
Interesting.
I've noticed a chill on the CBC's coverage since the advent of the Harper Regime, not to mention non-stop reruns of Briony Penn in the nude.
I went back to my hometown for a wedding this summer, ran into a lot of old friends, most of'em don't buy it. Seems like most sensible people don't buy it, never really did.
Now what?
