*911 TRUTH: PENN & TELLER*

For those who regard anything that Penn & Teller say is interesting, a bulletin board that discusses their recent program "Bullshit":
www.network54.com/Forum/106337

*911 TRUTH: 'PROGRESSIVE MEDIA'*

Z Magazine published this crap:
www.theconversation.org/conspiracy.html

(since the official story of 9/11 doesn't withstand elementary scrutiny, and the domestic and foreign policy agenda of the Bush dicatorship relies on the official story, true progressives are struggling to convey the innumerable anomalies with 9/11. This pits legitimate activists against cointelpro operations like "Z Magazine".)
