Complicitous to mass murder CNN "kills" Ed Asner/9/11 story tonight
UPDATE:
Infowars received an email from author and publisher Sander Hicks this afternoon indicating that the interview with Ed Asner scheduled for this evening on Showbiz Tonight has been cancelled. Hicks, a published author on the 9/11 cover-up as well as a Green Party senatorial candidate in New York was slated to appear with Asner on the program to discuss 9/11. Infowars confirmed with sources at CNN the segment was cancelled because another guest who had agreed to appear as an opposition voice to Hicks and Asner refused to participate the interview at the last moment. The CNN source further indicated that the opposition guest was none other than a former member of the Keene 9/11 whitewash Commission.

Further investigation and probing of several other CNN sources closely connected with the production of the Asner segment on Showbiz Tonight reported that high-level members of CNN management advised the producers of the show to "kill it. " This statement was clearly made to stifle any further coverage of 9/11 despite the admitedly huge ratings boost and response garnered from the recent coverage of Charlie Sheen's statements on 9/11.

"I guarantee that this member of the 9/11 Commission pulled out at the last moment because they think that by simply replying to Asner and Hicks and the comments of Charlie Sheen, he would be giving credence to their statements. This is a strategic move on their part to quash debate and avoid having to actually answer the hard questions about 9/11 which the 9/11 Commission failed to do. This stonewalling technique will not work forever - there are too many people waking up to their whitewash." - Alex Jones

2. I'm shocked. Shocked I tell you.

I am sure that 9/11 Commissioner that bailed must have had a very serious (and sudden) family emergency to cancel at the last minute like that. :rofl:

15. here
http://www.spitfirelist.com/f500.html

This interview highlights the work of investigator, social worker and ex-cop Allan Duncan and publisher/author Sander Hicks. Setting forth the story of counter-terror sting “Operation Diamondback,” the program presents the stunning forecast of the 9/11 attacks recorded by the FBI in 1999. Apparent Pakistani intelligence agent R.G. Abbas (while attempting to procure weaponry for Al Qaeda and the Taliban) disclosed that the World Trade Center towers were “coming down.” Stingman Randy Glass was “wearing a wire” and Abbas’ statement was recorded! Nonetheless, few news media have reported this. After reviewing information about Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff and his connections to Bin Laden collaborator Dr. Magdy El-Amir, the program presents Randy Glass’ assertion that Abbas and his associates Diaa Moshen and Mohamed (Mike) Malik were interested in procuring nuclear weaponry for Al Qaeda. Glass reported his information about the impending attack on the World Trade Center to Florida Senator Robert Graham in July of 2001. When Glass relayed his information to the State Department in the summer of 2001, a top aide to Colin Powell disclosed that it was known that a plan was afoot to fly airplanes into the World Trade Center, but that Glass couldn’t discuss it.

Program Highlights Include: Terrorist weapons-supplier Diaa Moshen’s claim that he possessed a “special passport” that enabled him to come and go with impunity; the unusually light treatment accorded Moshen and Mike Malik after they were apprehended as part of Operation Diamondback.

1. This interview with author and publisher Sander Hicks highlights his recently published book about 9/11 The Big Wedding. Like FTR#526, this program description differs from other descriptions in length, content and form. This interview reprised information covered in earlier descriptions and involved a fair amount of rumination by Mssrs. Hicks and Emory. The Big Wedding devotes considerable attention to the complicity of elements of the Bush administration in the attacks.

2. Much of the first side of the program consists of discussion of sting man Randy Glass, the point element in “Operation Diamondback.” A sometime operative on behalf of various organized elements, Glass and his remarkable story is one of the most prominent and most important elements in Sander’s book. Indeed, Glass’ account is one of the more compelling indications of foreknowledge on the part of elements of the government. For a riveting excerpt of the text of Big Wedding dealing in detail with Randy Glass and Operation Diamondback, see FTR#500. Part of side one of the program features Sander playing a tape recording of a phone interview with Randy Glass.

17. good idea, here's mine.....
Thank you for being the gatekeeper of truth. Thank you for asserting that truth can only be found in conventional wisdom. Thank you for standing in unquestioning lockstep with our government. Thank you for your complicity in the cover-up and whitewashing of the biggest crime in our nation's history. Thank you for sending the message that the thousands of American lives lost and still to be lost and the tens of thousands of non-American lives lost and still to be lost were and are meaningless. Thank you for condemning our children and future generations to lives for which they will rightly despise us.

19. And mine
Re the cancellation of Ed Asner and author Sander Hicks on Showbiz Tonight.

Please tell your CNN bosses that the horse has done left the barn, so they might as well get on the right side of history and quit engaging in coverup. It could well be held against them when the trials for treason against the people of the United Sates commence.

11. Go Hudson!!!
Ed Asner provided the voice of "Hudson", the crotchety old former leader of the clan on my favorite animated series, "Gargoyles". My first thought upon reading this was, "if anybody knows about tall buildings, it's Hudson!"

Nice to see that more people are speaking out. Ed Asner is well-respected in Hollywood. People will listen to him where they wouldn't to Charlie Sheen.

Hmmm.... he's appearing at "Gathering of the Gargoyles" in LA in June. I may make more of an effort to fly out for that, just to give him some DU luv!

George W. Bush and the Making of an American President"
Found Dead In A Hotel Room On Wednesday July 18, 2001

13. Cowards.
How is it that shows featuring *only* lying rethugs gets a pass with them, but God forbid anyone hear the truth?
They've always got to have bushbots on their shows to shout over and drown out the truth.

20. It Was Fun While It Lasted
I watched Showbiz Tonight do almost an entire show about Charlie Sheen & the 9/11 coverup last week. It was wonderful. Guess I should have realized that the "fun" wouldn't last. Oh, no--the fascists running this country wouldn't let us continue to have the *truth*, would they?

23. When doing a show on a controversial subject
Don't most shows add a....... "We've asked 'So and so' to be on to tell their side of the story, but they declined"?

24. Stonewalling, Fear of What Could Come out, maybe?
We deserve to hear these debates. So too do the survivors of those that died that dreadful day.

What are the networks afraid of? Shame on CNN!

questionable reasons.
