...and had to scramble out of THIS interview as quick as they could!
Dr. James Fetzer on Hannity and Colmes$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('911Blogger.com', 'D')r. James Fetzer from Scholars for 9/11 Truth was on Hannity and Colmes tonight on FOX News. Hannity was out tonight, and was replaced by Oliver North.
The interview was about as short a segment as I have seen, however once it was cleared up that in fact Scholars for 9/11 Truth does not teach classes on 9/11 in schools - the supposed premise of the show - Dr. Fetzer got in a couple points in the 4 minute segment.
Alot of people believe that the 911 attacks are related to the peak oil phenomenon in a big way. This view has been elaborated at length by Mike Ruppert in his "CROSSING THE RUBICON: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil" but it is a view that is also shared by Barrie Zwicker, the producer/host of "End of Suburbia" and a couple of other films about 911 ("The Grand Conspiracy", for example), and also Richard Heinberg who also believes the government was complicit in the attacks.
see "Richard Heinberg on Dwindling Oil and 9/11"
http://www.energybulletin.net/689.htmlThese are three Peak Oil notables among the many that we are all familiar with. Lesser known figures such as as Professor Michael Klare, author of "Resource Wars", or F. William Engdahl, author of "A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order", make many references to the way in which the Bush Administration took complete advantage of the 911 attacks in order to invade Afghanistan, Iraq and establish as many military bases as possible in Central Asia. Their references include the occasional jab at the bogus War on Terror that has been a central justification for the invasions which, more and more, appear to be more about oil geopolitics than fighting terrorism.
However, these authors recognize 911 activism as a career buster so they tend to eschew making bold comments about the many unanswered question surrounding the attacks and tend to concentrate on the ideological build-up to the invasions, the subsequent events and possible future outcomes.
The subject of 911 and its aftermath remains fascinating for people who are interested in current events like the slowly decreasing supply of petroleum and how that frightening reality will drive world politics or foment future violent conflicts. However, the view that 911 and peak oil are connected, despite much worthy evidence, has been contained and censored even on PeakOil.com. It's almost against the rules to express support for it.
Many people do not want a renewed investigation into the 911 attacks in which serious questions about would be fully addressed. They would prefer to simply ignore holes in the official theory and ignore the questions that remain. Why anyone would object to a serious, impartial investigation into those attacks is beyond me. I think such an effort goes right to the heart of what is happening in the world these days.
So go ahead. Post all you want about survival techniques and whatnot in a post-peak world. If the dire politics surrounding diminishing energy supplies become as bad as we think they will, trying to survive as a rugged individualist will be about as successful as the Jewish individualists who tried to survive Nazi Germany. It's only through the concerted action as a whole people that Americans can mitigate the threats lie ahead.
Attempts to discover the truth about 911 and its connection to the truth about diminishing world energy supplies are a form of dissent that is needed in a world too often blind and willfully ignorant.
