CBC and Pacifica Disgraced by Kay

(LETHRIDGE, Alberta) - Pacifica and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation have joined forces in featuring Jonathan Kay in 9/11/11 coverage aimed at renewing the psychological warfare essential to the invasions, torture, Genocide, illegal occupations and Islamophobia characterizing the 9/11 wars.

Jonathan Kay was a featured guest highlighted in the network coverage of the tenth anniversary of 9/11 as broadcast by both Pacifica Radio in the United States and the English-language radio division of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Kay wrote for Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation a hate-inspired, tenth-anniversary text claiming that those engaged in seeking answers for the copious unanswered questions concerning 9/11 are engaged in “absolving” all Muslims collectively of a “terrible crime.” (p. 167)

Kay’s diatribe was funded by a prominent Israeli-based think tank whose leadership comes largely from the Project for the New American Century. PNAC is the think tank which observed in 2000 that its ambitious program of military expansion and invasions could not be met without a “catalyzing event” like a new Pearl Harbor. Entitled Among the Truthers, Kay diverts attention away from the evidence of what did and did not happen on 9/11. Instead Kay appoints himself as a psycho-anthropologist in pursuit of what this war promoter and Isamophobe describes as “the growing conspiracist underground.”

In his 9/11/11 coverage Michael Enright, host of CBC Radio’s flag ship show, Sunday Morning, demeaned on air his old colleague, Barrie Zwicker. Zwicker and Enright worked together for many years as reporters at The Globe and Mail, the main competitor in Canada of Kay’s National Post. Zwicker is the author of Towers of Deception: The Media Cover-Up of 9/11. As his wonkey subtitle proclaims, Kay equates even the most accomplished of those engaged in the quest for 9/11 truth, investigators like Zwicker as well as Professor David Ray Griffin, with “Birthers, Armageddonites, Vaccine Hysterics, Hollywood Know-Nothings and Internet Addicts.”

Aged 77, the fit, mentally-agile Zwicker was a guest earlier today on Michael Enright’s program. The struggling host could not come anywhere close to keeping up with Zwicker. Instead Enright displayed an ignorance of his subject matter unbefitting of a broadcaster holding a high level of public trust in Canada’s Crown-owned agency. Like the CBC, the Pacifica stations in the United States have frequently featured Kay as an expert commentator on 9/11. While the CBC did not broach the subject of 9/11 skepticism in its 9/11/11 coverage, at least Pacifica did include in its tenth-anniversary broadcast the perspectives of, for instance, architect Richard Gage and University of Copenhagen Chemistry Professor, Niels Harrit. Both educators are highly critical of the official conspiracy theory of 9/11.

Richrd Gage's theories have all been debunked at Skeptoid, debunking 911, James Randi Educational Foundation, and by Chris Mohr, plus many others.

Editor: Right, and unicorns play in the park on Saturday. I can only hope you're one more government shill and not someone foolish enough to believe such rubbish. Richard Gage is really shaking you guys up, he is a good man. You guys have debunked jack squat.

Steve Harper is the best thing to happen to Canada since we took over your national security by providing a nuclear umbrella many decades ago. The Canadian military leadership fully understands that importance, which has also helped minimize Russian and Chinese incursions. It is also apparent that the Canadian voters also like Harper's leadership style. As per arresting former Vice President Cheney, please keep in mind that Obama has fully accepted the Bush Doctrines to keep America (and Canada) safer than we were during the Clinton and Carter regimes. We are still in Iraq and Afghanistan (in fact Obama has increased our military into other areas like Libya), the Patriot Act is still in effect, Guantanamo is still operational. So it seems that if you want people arrested for policies you don't like, then come on down and do it yourself. Good luck with that. Ditto for your 9/11 conspiracy, for that is pretty much a back burner DSM diagnosis.

The CBC delivers for the government of Canada the war propaganda that Prime Minister Stephen Harper wants. Harper needs the CBC's brand of war propaganda to advance his Bushite and Likudist agenda, one concocted to advance the imperial designs of Netanyahu's Israeli government.

After all the Canadian PM appoints directly the head of the CBC. There is no real arm's length relationship so it is not surprising we find sycophant Enright and Murdoch's boy Kay chortling about "conspiracy theories" in the wall-to-wall propaganda coverage of 9/11/11.

As I see it Enright's buddy Kay essentially speaks for Harper. Indeed, Kay's perpetually money-losing newspaper founded by Conrad Black essentially invented Harper's political personae.

Investigate 9/11. Arrest Dick Cheney. Demand accountability from those media venues operated by agents and stooges of the Anglo-American-Israeli war machine.

Anybody who still believes that Muslims had anything to do with the 9/11 attacks is balancing a full outhouse on their neck.

what you say about CBC is TRUE - i submitted two comments in response to their interview with Barrie Zwicker. My comments were in accordance with their strict submission guidelines, however, neither of my comments were published. I can't believe Canadian Taxpayers have to pay for this fossilized organ of the fascist state.
