Lifton attacks Fetzer over 9/11 and Israeli Complicity
#1
JIM FETZER RESPONDS TO DAVID LIFTON ABOUT 9/11 AND MORE

Having just received a copy of this memorandum attacking me for my
views about 9/11 and indications of Israeli complicity, I would observe
that David Lifton appears to be far removed from areas in which he is
competent. As the founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, I have not only
maintained its web site at http://911scholars.org and authored all of
its press releases but also edited its first book, THE 9/11 CONSPIRACY,
organized its first conference, "The Science and Politics of 9/11", and
produced its first DVD, "9/11: What's Controversial, What's Not". In
addition, I have authored many articles, given many lectures, and
made many presentations about 9/11 around the world, including
in Athens, where I was featured for 3 1/2 hours on a TV program in
2006 broadcast world-wide by satellite, and twice in Buenos Aires in
2008 and 2009, where my first presentation received extensive news
coverage, including two articles in the News Service of the Republic
of Argentina, and the second event was held at The National Library.

Lifton seems to be upset that I have endorsed a book, STRANGER
THAN FICTION, which traces the history of Zionism from the late
1800s to the present day and advances evidence, not only of the
history of terrorism practiced by those who wanted to create the
State of Israel, but of Israeli involvement in the events of 9/11. I
had independently concluded Israel was involved in 9/11 before I
discovered this book. I must admit that I had no clear concept of
Zionism until relatively recently, when I began inviting experts on
the subject onto my radio program, "The Real Deal", including
Stephen Lendman (13 March 2010), Barry Chamish (30 March
2010), and Elias Davidsson (10 July 2010). I found the book to
be extremely compact, insightful, and illuminating, and read 6-8
chapters on the air STRANGER THAN FICTION (26 April 2010). I
interviewed the author, Albert Pastore, Ph.D., which is a pseud-
nym, on Friday, 28 May 2010, and had it rebroadcast Monday,
31 May 2010, which was Memorial Day. All of these programs
either are or will be archived on http://radiofetzer.blogspot.com.

That the Pastore interview was rebroadcast on Memorial Day
turns out to have been ironic, since that is the day Israel chose
to assault the flotilla attempting to breach the blockage of Gaza.
There is a front-page article about it in The New York Times (1
June 2010), in case David Lifton, who is preoccupied with his
new book on Oswald, hasn't been reading the papers. There
are many new articles about it, including several by Stephen
Lendman and by Jerry Mazza, that I am featuring or will be
featuring in my blog, http://jamesfetzer.blogspot.com. One
of the best has just been published by James Petrus, entitled
"Israeli War Crimes: From the U.S. Liberty to the Humanitarian"
Flotilla, http://www.voltairenet.org/article165694.html It might
be wise for David Lifton to get up to speed on the atrocities by
Israel, which include the massacre of sailors aboard a United
States naval vessel during the Six Day War, which killled 34
sailors and wounded another 171, which Israel was planning
on blaming on its enemy Egypt as a classic false flag operation.

I participated in a "Freedom Rally" on the grass in front of the
United States Capitol on 15 April 2008, where I spoke about
the events of 9/11 and outlined the reasons for believing that
Israel had a hand. That presentation was published under the
title, "9/11 and the Neo-Con Agenda", and can be found many
places, including an illustrated version http://tinyurl.com/45ltba
I have also dealt with the charge that research implicating the
State of Israel in 9/11 is anti-Semitic in "Is 9/11 research 'anti-
Semitic'?", both of which were published by OpEdNews and can
be readily accessed via google. I have also done research on
other Israeli false flag attacks, including two in Argentina in
1992 and 1994 http://www.voltairenet.org/article162474.html
and another in Mexico City shortly after 9/11 that was thwarted.

Why Lifton wants to attack me when he knows nothing about
the subject bewilders me, but I assume it is unrelated to my
defense of Judyth Vary Baker from his smears or to my effort
to recover $1,000 I lent him when his computer was stolen.
Whatever his motives, his conduct here is inexcusable. Even
if I were wrong about the history of Zionism, where I cannot
claim to be an expert, what entitles him to deny others the
right to freedom of inquiry, freedom of thought, and freedom
of speech? Is it his position that, unless you toe the Israeli
line, you are acting in an irresponsible or reprehensible way?
This whole attack baffles me, because I do my homework on
the issues I address, whereas, in this instance, most notably,
Lifton has not. Let me also recommend a 9/11 web site that
has the courage to confront evidence of Israeli complicity in
9/11, which is http://rediscover911.com. I recommend it to
everyone who has a serious interest in the truth about 9/11.

As it happens, I am participating in an event in London soon:

A LONDON SYMPOSIUM: "Debunking the 'War on Terror':
Are the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan Justified by 9/11?"
6-9:30 PM, 14 July 2010, Friends House opposite Euston Station

An international symposium, "Debunking the 'War on Terror'", is
scheduled to occur in London, UK, as an evening event from 6:30-9:30
PM on Wednesday, 14 July 2010. This symposium will feature James
Fetzer, Founder, Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Kevin Barrett, Co-Founder,
Muslims for 9/11 Truth, and Gilad Atzmon, jazz musician and
political commentator, who will offer their assessments of the
evidence that 9/11 has been misrepresented by the US government for
its own political purposes.

The speakers will focus on the use of the events of 9/11 to
manipulate American and British citizens into supporting invasions
of Iraq and Afghanistan in violation of international law, the UN
Charter, and even the US Constitution. The event will be held in The
Large Meeting Hall of Friends House, 173 Euston Road, London.
Friends House is on the south side of Euston Road directly opposite
Euston Station (BR main line, Victoria and Northern underground
lines). The doors will open at 6 PM with a £10 admission fee.

Would that David Lifton were doing more for his county and the
advancement of truth than his own little world, which is entirely
dominated of, by, and for David Lifton, whose narcissism knows
no bounds. The fact of the matter is that logic and evidence are
on my side, not his, and if anyone is "unable to connect the dots"
in this case, it is he, not me. I am sorry to say that David Lifton
has once again demonstrated his incompetence in matters that
go beyond the boundaries of issues that concern David S. Lifton,
up close and personal. I have seen enough of him to know that,
beyond the confines of BEST EVIDENCE, his competence is next
to non-existent, where I offer this case as my own best evidence.
