9/11 Disinformation Watch

Fred Smart

2008-03-12T02:36:00.000-07:00

Fredrick K. Smart III, more commonly known as Fred Smart, is a well known constitutional activist living in the Chicago area. He is also the State Coordinator for the Illinois We The People Congress. His work can be seen at his Freedom Fellowship blog. Under the pseudonym "The Freedom Fellowship" he has over forty blogs, all devoted to one aspect of the constitutional cause or another. He was the publicity director for Aaron Russo's documentary film "America: From Freedom to Fascism." More recently he has worked tirelessly on the Ron Paul campaign, spreading the word by blog, meetup and in the street. He has donated directly to the Ron Paul campaign, putting himself personally and financially on the line for his beliefs. From these examples, he certainly appears to have a sincere passion and enthusiasm for supporting the constitutional rights of others, their right to free speech, privacy and self defense, and safe expression of those rights in whatever aspect of their lives they chose; on or offline.

But there is another side to Mr. Smart, probably unknown to his political and business associates in the Ron Paul campaign. He has had a long association with members of the discredited branch of the 9/11 Truth movement that has suggested such debunked theories as particle beam weapons for the collapse of the towers, and no planes were involved in any of the attacks, including the World Trade center. More disturbing than these theories, however, is the viciousness with which any of the self identified "no-planers" will attack other activists who do not tolerate either their unfounded theories or their prolific attacks and accusations on message boards. One of these self identified noplaners is Rosalee Grable, also known as "Webfairy".

Mr. Smart in this radio program of September 10, 2007, tells us he stumbled across Grable's work in 2003. Grable had set herself up as a computer consultant in the Chicago area as early as 2001. By Smart's account, Grable was the first to point out that the "amorphous blob in one of the videos could not possibly be a plane...She was one of the first on the internet to point this out". He further relates he was the first to present her work in Chicago. In the weeks after that, according to Smart, "they" (he does not specify who) "tried to put her into a hospital ". He claims to be instrumental in rallying support "from all over the country" to get Grable out of the hospital permanently.

Ironically, at the same time he was hosting a radio program discussing his noble deeds, the Kennebunkport controversy still raged. This started in late summer of 2007 when Webster Tarpley, Bruce Marshal, Craig Hill and Laurie Dobson, had all arranged for a document called the Kennebunkport Warning to be signed by Cindy Sheehan Dalia Wasfi, Ann Wright and Jamilla el sharif. Unfortunately what these four women remember signing and what the document was later to say was at odds; in this dispute Dahlia issued a joint statement asking for all four of there names to be withdrawn whilst continuing to assert her solidarity with the 911Truth movement. Shockingly, they found themselves under unprovoked attack by Webster Tarpley and his associates, called liars and worse. Following this pattern, members of the 911 Truth movement who defended these four women found themselves the target of a bizarre campaign involving slander, accusations of being FBI agents, co-intelpro and with Al Qaida, and a series of videos alleging to expose where they lived and demanding to hunt them down, in some cases explicitly calling for their deaths.

The first and main producer of these videos was a YouTube poster under the alias of Dog4Tree. Others with similar code names would follow: kitten14weed, rat8bush, dog22peach. All used the same style, combining stills and text with a combination of audio clips from radio and music sources to make a picassoesque result that would make no sense to an outside observer, but, to the targets these videos sent a clear message: stop defending these women or your life will be in danger. Some examples can still be found at Youtube: here the video description calls for:

"AGENT ORANGE is a known supporter of terrorism and an associate of STERLING. He should be rendered in accordance with the PATRIOT Act, interrogated for useful information, and disposed of. YOU HAVE SEVEN DAYS!" "Agent Orange" is apparently Anthony Lawson who is being targeted for his devastating indictment of the video "September Clues".

Another example can be found here. This one is even more concerning as it explicitly supports Webster Tarpley, then, in the description, goes on to list people to be targeted, some of whom there is no evidence of having anything to do with the Kennebunkport controversy.

Although any threats should be taken seriously, what many do not know is that the four people who set up the document to be signed at Kennebunkport, whatever its content, are long time LaRouche associates and LaRouche associates have a disturbing pattern of leaving some who cross them dead in their wake.

The LaRouche connections of those whose actions are in dispute are as follows:

Webster Tarpley: In 1986 ran for U.S. Senate in New York on a Larouche platform. More recently, in the late 1990's, hosted a TV show called The LaRouche Connection. He was also president of Larouche's Schiller Institute.

Bruce Marshall: outspoken admirer of Larouche as this article he wrote on a Middlebury college site.

Craig Hill: Posed as a Green candidate, but according to this Green Party site, they were not fooled.

Laurie Dobson: Now also attempting a run for U. S Senate, but who has financially supported LaRouche in the past.

And the following people are known to have ended up dead as a result of challenging Larouche's organization, followers, or policies, sometimes after disturbingly similar campaigns of vicious attacks against them:

Petra Kelly

Michael Gelber

Jeremiah Duggan

Ken Kronberg

One would think that Webster Tarpley, being well aware of this pattern in connection to LaRouche, would have done everything is his power, in the interests of saving his credibility if nothing else, in denouncing a campaign of harassment and attacks calling for "hunting people down". But, displaying the same level of political tone-deafness in attacking "Dahliar4", whilst he denied involvement, he never once spoke out against the Dog4Tree campaign that labeled activists who disagreed with Tarpley's actions as WQ2RX terrorist agents.

So where does Smart fit in all of this? Smart is more than a knight in shining armor defending Grable against the threat of forced hospitalization. Smart appears to be her patron and benefactor, occasionally supporting her financially in her various video projects, as well as helping her distribute and promote "no planes" video material, including 911Octopus:

911 Octopus, is a film produced by someone under the alias Fred AKA bsregistration which attempts to prove that no planes hit the world trade center complex on 911. "The proof" presented in 911Octopus is a mix of selective shots (in some cases showing signs of tampering), insistent voice overs and out right slander against live eyewitness statements and calling traumatized people "actors".

Reasonable possibilities are not pursued. Instead FredBSReg leaps to the conclusion that, not only was there no plane, but the studio crews were "in on it", reporting planes where there were none. One aspect he glosses over is, if this was doctored footage on a live feed, why the studio crew would have to be "in on it" at all. According to this theory wouldn't they be just as fooled as the viewing public?

"Fred" BSreg ends his film, encouraging people to blog, share and embed his film, with the credits urging his viewers to "Fight the Octopus" , followed by the names of others, who are presumably "fighting" with him including: Killtown, Webfairy, Fred, Nico Haupt, 911Researchers.com, Rick. He also adds text saying "you're either with us or with the terrorists", a strange Bushism for "Fred" to imitate if he does indeed believe the Bush administration was responsible for 911.

His encouragement to "fight back" includes propagating his video through a variety of online media.

This last tactic--encouraging people to blog and go online to spread a message--is noteworthy as it echoes Smart's approach to activism, as shown in this video :

Fred Supports Ed & Elaine Brown

This may be an indication they are consciously using the same tactics.

Smart's involvement and influence in Grable's life is amply documented:

-In an email made public by Grable here,

"Fred Smart who who sponsors
Webfairy (not just for the Chicago conference fee but for a roof over her
head as told to me by Rosalee herself.) "

-He exchanges email correspondence with Rick Siegel and James Fetzer, among others, infamously known to endorse "no planes" theories.

-Nico Haupt claims Smart bought a site called noplanes.com. Unfortunately, like many of Haupt's claims, this cannot be substantiated. A whois search reveals an Andrew Chapman of Locologic Limited as the domain registrant. Smart's involvement was probably just wishful thinking on Haupt's part. However it does show that Smart has done much to place himself in high regard in the "No planes" crowd and is quite concerned if Rick is in a pickle.

-Smart has also had the pleasure of visiting Grable's residence for private viewings:

Subject: [apfn-1] "911 In Plane Site".....

Folks:

I saw this production in DVD format on a PC two weeks ago here in a private viewing Chicago at Rosalie Grable's - aka "The Webfairy" www.thewebfairy.com - residence.

Rosalie, one of the foremost digital archivists of 911 footage in the world, presented some of her work at one of our meetings here in Chicago last February. Some of the key "911 In Plane Site" footage can be seen in bits and pieces over on her wesite.

This isn't "out there" conspiracy material. "911 In Plane Site" is a production every American should get their hands on for it presents much of the shocking digital evidence which the major media and our servant government has covered up - ie. simply chosen NOT to present to the American public.

-Recorded at his blog, Smartbandwidth: The Connectivity of Light and Love, is a post documenting Grable's trouble with email whilst suggesting censorship at work.

But Smart has done more than help Grable out of a few tight spots. During the Kennebunkport fiasco, whilst Smart spoke on radio about Webfairy's accomplishments and our need to reach out with the truth and help people defend their rights, he was in fact helping Grable wage a video attack campaign under the pseudonym Dog4Tree, with the express purpose of undermining those same "natural law" rights. When questioned by one of her fellow "no planes" travelers about the strangeness and profusion of the dog4tree WQ2RX videos, they had this exchange on "Killtown"'s forum:

Grable:

You mean stuff like

http://www.prettyclip.com/?video=wq2rx

"What is this intended to mean: "AL8RFº KX4RK NN3RP WE5RU WQ4RZ AL9RFº KX5RK NN4RP WE6RU WQ5RZ KAØRF KX7RK NN5RP WE7RU WQ6RZ KB3RF KX8RK NN6RP WE8RU WQ7RZ KB4RF KX9RK NN7RP WE9RU WQ8RZ NL3RNº WD7RS WQ1RX AK3RD KV6RI NL4RNº WD8RS WQ2RX AK4RD KV7RI NL5RNº ..... KX4RK NN3RP WE5RU WQ4RZ AL9RFº KX5RK NN4RP WE6RU WQ5RZ KAØRF KX7RK NN5RP" ?

I think every answer is correct.

It isn't like you're gonna see TV Fakery headlining at 911Blogger, BigLieAction, or any of the sites infiltrated by wq2rx.

http://www.youtube.com/rat8bush

"Rasta":

Yes stuff like that. What are you trying to accomplish with all this? In my estimation you are definately going to confuse people & inspire them to distrust the no plane movement rather than look at the evidence & consider it with all this confusing jargon & bizarre tactics.

"I think every answer is correct"

What does that mean? If you are frustrated by people in the 9/11 movement not acknowledging your evidence why not present it clearly rather than apparently speaking in code? Also what is "wq2rx"? Obviously you're saying it's some sort of cointepro or government operation infiltrated in the 9/11 movement but is there any evidence that it's actually called wq2rx or did you just decide to call it that? I think these are fair questions.

Grable:

It started out as a Theatre Is Life Cosmic Joke
I liked the name Dog4Tree and the great image of tree climbing dogs.

I don't know what to make of this more than anybody else.
WE call it Transgressive Art, but it has taken on it's own forms overwhich I have no input or control.

This last statement is disingenuous. Obviously she had input in the situation, by coining Dog4Tree. Perhaps she doesn't have much direct control, but her use of "we" implies the group she is working with is one which these videos were made by. "Transgressive art" was a concept invented by Nico Haupt, an associate of Grable's and one of the most enthusiastic promoters of the "Dog4Tree" videos.

Grable admitted she was not only part of the WQ2RX video attacks against activists, but she was there in the beginning giving input to the project. Did she know or understand what she was being asked to do? Did she realize she would be helping put activists in physical danger for their lives by including personal information that the misguided could use to erroneously report these people as Al Qiada Terrorists? Did she ever consider that some of the information in the videos in question were so wildly incorrect, that, had anyone been injured or killed as a result of these video calls to misguided action, not only would she share the responsibility of these injuries, but that the people injured may not even be the targets the video producers believe them to be?

It is doubtful Grable had any of these considerations in mind when she worked under the alias Dog4Tree. Considering her very fragile circumstances (as explained below), Grable's decisions are likely to be made by the people who have supported her most through her troubled times, chief of those being Smart.

Given the close relationship of financial dependency, it is extremely unlikely that Smart did not at least know of the WQ2RX activist harassment campaign. As soon as he become aware of the details, one would expect a man who quotes the bible and calls for "the connectivity of light and love" to exert his considerable influence over Grable to put a stop to these deplorable video attacks and attempts to hunt people down. At the very least one would expect his concern for legal liability to be motivation to put a stop to at least Grable involvement in the WQ2RX project, at least if she wished to continue to enjoy his support.

Smart is too "smart" and successful to not know what he is doing. Whilst it appears in many places that Grable is doing her friend Smart a favor by preaching the mission of "No Planes" to Ron Paul volunteers, it is far more likely that the arrangement Grable has with Smart is that of employee and employer. Grable has no visible means of support but appears to be able to devote much of her time to posting in online forums. Smart is self-employed and appears to have ample time and resources to devote to constitutional politics, Ron Paul activism and promoting "No planes" material. Could it be Grable is in the employ of Smart?

Some might wonder if Smart was knowingly part of an organized campaign to undermine the credibility of 911 truth activists by promoting no-planes materials. One could equally suspect Smart of knowingly subverting various Libertarian causes by pushing "no planes" materials and dvds in venues certain to put off those not yet open to 911Truth, much less the idea that no planes whatsoever were involved in the attacks . Certainly the controversy surrounding Ed and Elaine Brown was a constitutional cause Smart once spoke so passionately about, but his lack of concern over the harassment of 9/11 activists by TV fakery theorists that he openly financially supports is puzzling. Some have speculated that Smart set the Brown's up for failure, giving them false hope and dubious guidance, leading ultimately to their arrests. In spite of his prominent involvement in the Browns anti tax saga, Smart was able to pull back after their arrest, smoothly removing himself from passionate player to saddened observer.

Trained medical professionals have already seen what to their eyes appeared reason to consider hospitalizing Grable. Whilst their are many flaws in health care, mental health care in particular, it is still a detail that implies Grable was at some sort of crisis at the time. Though the need for permanent hospitalization sounds unlikely, we must remember, as Smart tells it, it was only through his actions that Grable is a free woman. Grable surely feels profound gratitude for Smart's intervention and subsequent patronage. However, looking at the history of Grable's activity's supported by Smart, one has to ask whether he has Grable's best interests in mind.

Smart has either deliberately encouraged, or stood by and made no protest, when Grable contributed to unethical and possibly illegal activities. Some of these activities were timed so that they directly supported Webster Tarpley's attack on peace activists. He has been cc'd on email lists sent by Grable or other "no-planes" associates, often to harass other researchers. Given Grable's fragile situation, an outside observer must wonder whether she, like Ed and Elaine Brown, is being set up, and when she needs Smart's help the most, he will have left her to her own devices, perhaps saying some sad words about the grandmotherly woman he could not help.

As Smart supports constitutional causes, why is it that he is giving financial support to someone who appears to have health problems while advocating TV fakery and threats against 9/11 activists?

A final note:

Some speculation exists that Fred Smart uses the name bsregistration to publish the 911 no planes videos. Evidence to support this theory comes from Nico Haupt's Truthlingswatch blog referencing Fred Smart posting at 911blogger. Further support appears in the form of various comments by "fred" at 911Blogger and 911Researchers that echo Mr. Smart's writing style, as well as a conspicuous and timely back and forth in threads at both 911Blogger and 911Researchers. Evidence against appears in this radio broadcast hosted by Fred Smart, apparently interviewing Fred aka bsregistration as well as Rosalee Grable. If Smart is proven to be bsregistration it would prove Smart to be more than a passive participant in targeting activists for harassment, as well as being resourceful and ingenious at getting people to stand in for him. However, this has not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. The final conclusions are left to the reader.

Captain Eric May

2008-02-29T19:39:00.000-08:00

Who is Captain May?

A supporter of "next 9/11" research and articles, antisemitism, numerology, and accusations of COINTELPRO against 9/11 researchers/activists.

"Don’t call me Deep Throat... call me Captain May." Captain Eric May

Who is "Captain" Eric May?

"Captain May, a former Army intelligence and public affairs officer, is the founder and commander of Ghost Troop, a 300-strong unit comprised of military and police veterans and active duty, along with civilian research/activists. He is on a self-declared "mission of conscience" to oppose the Bush War Cabal."

Ghost Troop is comprised of:

"former military and interested civilians, many with a background in recon and intelligence... working on the analysis of the 911-to-be (ergo 9112B) event which has been pre-programmed into the public via the media as a matter of WHEN, not IF."

While the above citation claims that Ghost Troop consists of “former” members of the military, another article reveals that there are "current" members:

"Commanded by Captain Eric H. May, Ghost Troop consists of current and past high-level military professionals who claim expertise at reading governmental strategies and predicting what will happen next. Cracking embedded codes plays a significant role, says Captain May, as does utilizing a highly sophisticated network of intelligence operatives and analyzing events that perhaps have a hidden agenda. [...]

CAPT. MAY: Ghost Troup [sic] is really an analytic group. As a trained intelligence officer I serve as the chief analyst. As a trained public affairs officer I serve as the unit spokesman. What I put out is the distilled intelligence product of many Ghost Troops. They send me the reports and sometimes I do a little back-and-forth with them. They keep me informed, and I polish my ideas and Ghost Troop analysis with top experts in the field, sometimes across many countries and several continents. [...]

ICONOCLAST: You have said that you already have informants imbedded [sic] in various governmental and corporate entities. Are you seeking to expand upon these?

CAPT. MAY: At all times. [...] Some of the most prominent people in the 911 Truth Movement, for example, are Ghost Troops. We had a U.S. ambassador in the unit as chaplain for the first three years."

Captain May has been predicting the "next 9/11" since at least 2004, and his personal bio gives his background in the military. He claims to have "spent five years with Houston's 75th Division (USAR) as an Opposing Forces Controller, meaning that I learned better than most -- even most experts -- how to run contrarian scenarios."

Captain may is a supporter, signer and endorser of Webster Tarpley's Kennebunkport Warning of a potential false flag attack:

"The Kennebunkport Warning is short and strident at 200 words. It has been posted widely on the Internet, and in last week's edition of The Lone Star Iconoclast. Since then, though, it has come under sustained fire from a swiftboat attack aimed at its authors and signers, and even its word choices. Every aspect of the document has been called into question -- except its content."
[see Kennebunkport Warning Controversy for a response to these claims]

Not only has May endorsed the Kennebunkport warning, but previous warnings as well. In fact, he has been interviewed on the radio by fellow supporters of the Kennebunkport Warning including Jim Fetzer, Kevin Barrett, and Webster Tarpley. Morgan Stack, yet another Kennebunkport warning signer/promoter features his work on his website 911truth.ie as noted below by Jim Hoffman. Radio interviews include:

"· Captain May was interviewed by both Jim Fetzer and Kevin Barrett on their radio shows about a potential new 9/11.

· "Captain May's interview on Dr. Kevin Barrett's radio show discussing his article Next 9/11, Summer, 2007? (7-24-07)"

· "In his July 3 interview with Dr. Kevin Barrett, Captain May addressed the prospects and probabilities of a July false flag attack on U.S. soil, and of a consequent escalation of the Mideast War (Iraq and Afghanistan) to World War Three (Syria and Iran, et al.)."

Other Radio interviews and a list of articles by May are numerous and the “next 9/11” theme is strongly emphasized. A sample of article titles advocating this theme include:

· A Nuclear Nightmare - The Portland Plot

· Stage Set for 'New Pearl Harbor'? Only a domestic terror attack can save discredited Bush

· Loose Nukes Looming Near By

· 911-2B: American Nightmare & Neocon Fantasy

· Staging the Portland Nuke (A Comedy of Terrors)

· A Dawning Dictatorship? (911-2B & NSPD-51)

· Next 9/11, Summer, 2007? (w/ Top Three U.S. Nuke Targets)

· Is this Administration planning another 9/11 on May 11th?

· Operation Apocalypse, End-Timers and End-Game Strategy

· 911 Truth and Texas Terror

It can be noted, that one of the functions of disinformation is to discredit true information by associating it with false/bad/misleading information. A famous example of this is known as the “the boy who cried wolf” fable.

Captain May is also an endorser of numerology in articles such as “9/11, 3/11, 7/11 Terror Dates: Is there an ‘embedded code,’ and can we use it to save ourselves?”:

"· The 9 and 3 month numbers were square and square root of each other

· There were exactly 911 days between the dates 9/11 (2001) and 3/11 (2004)

· There was a reported body count from the Madrid bombings of 199 (which was 911 with the numbers "flipped" — 9’s to 1’s; 1’s to 9’s: 911/199)

· There was even a reversion of the body count downward (who got up and left the morgue?) to 191 — which is an anagram (mix-up) of 911!"

Captain May has been using numerology to predict the "next 9/11" since at least 2004:

We're either closer to a geopolitical adjustment (i.e., reducing our (sinking) Middle Eastern footprint), or just that much closer to 911 (the sequel), which I've been predicting as 9/27 (i.e., 9/9, i.e., 9=9=18; i.e., 1=8 = 9). Again, 9/27 will be the 1111st day since 911 (which was 11 years from the announcement of the New World Order by King George XLI).

According to Captain May, understanding numerology is important because the planners of the next false flag attack:

"like to communicate with this Illuminist number code and the media is actually passing the information on to the many levels of members, alerting them of the potential dates and times of planned acts of terror... They are also using the repetitive name game, another way of feeling superior. Just think about it: Oklahoma City, Okla., New York, N.Y. and now maybe Texas City, Texas."

Using numbers and name games to predict the next 9/11? Jim Hoffman observes that David Ray Griffin's appearance in Ireland was canceled because of Captain May:

"In Ireland David Ray Griffin's appearance was canceled and he was labeled anti-Semetic due to posts by "Captain Eric May" being featured on Morgan Stack's 911truth.ie website.
* May is yet another "former" intelligence person who advocates numerology to expose the 9-11 coverup.
* May is openly anti-semetic, describing the media and Hollywood as 'controlled by the Jews'."

A brief and short internet search on articles by Captain May reveals that he is antisemitic:

"In this case it is the controlled media, who use Jewish Cabalism, and the "Bush Boyz" (criminal officials and agents), who use Masonic coding, and they're reporting their handiwork in the Great Plains! . . . I wonder why the Jewish film industry would make a mistake like that, rewriting the plot of reality to convince us -- with a powerful movie -- not to obsess about the prospect of embedded code in the mainstream Jewish news media?" - Captain Eric H. May

"Dear Mr. Green, I read with great interest your essay "Holocaust Fundamentalism - You WILL Believe" just now, and am eager to forward it to Ghost Troop, my associates (military veterans and civilian supporters). We have come to be astute in the importance of body-count numbers to political purposes, and aren't a bit surprised to find that thoughtful men like you are questioning "official reality" in the Holocaust... We are specifically rooted in the matter of the current Zionist Media efforts to keep the real number of US dead GI's covered up in the Middle East. The same forces that want to exagerate [sic] the suffering of the Jews on the one hand want to minimize the suffering of the Christian Army they have duped into killing Moslems. […] If you told me you thought you found an exaggeration factor of "5" (in the Holocaust), I'd just say it matched the minimization factor of five (in the Middle Eastern War). Captain May / Ghost Troop"

"Believe me, all, those of us, like Ghost Troop, who are intellectual opponents of the Jewish Zionist kulturkampf -- which we call the infowar -- are the rational opposition. I provide one stark link to our unit infowar history, from this summer, when we were involved in what we coded "Ghost Troop 9112B." It's from a most valued international infowar ally who stabbed us in the back for trying to hold true to the Constitution, when he and his cult wanted us to renounce that prudent pact to join a growing international -- and revolutionary -- movement against the Jews http://100777.com/node/1373

"No question about it, the American People are being readied for another Al Qaida attack -- and they have been told that it will be in the heartland of the Homeland months ago. The WMD attack, high death tool and ensuing tower collapse to top it all off will achieve the kind of "iconic" psychological effect necessary to carry the war spirit to the nuclear level necessary to impose a Middle Eastern Final Solution -- for the equal benefit of the co-founders, the Military Industrial Complex and the Israel Lobby. The first target for the American "counterattack" is obvious. Iran is already being shaped into a monster by Judas Journalists with their headquarters in New York and their heartbeat in Tel Aviv. The best propagandists in broadcast and print first insinuated -- and now insist -- that Iran is a "nuclear threat" bent on a "nuclear confrontation," that might have to be met by a "nuclear option." Any idea is worth hanging a "nuclear" label on, and any excuse will do to start a nuclear war!

"I re-include the press release we of Ghost Troop have issued, giving confirmed "news" that the Zionist-controlled US Media has repressed for 30 months, in complete disregard of the tenets of the Constitution and the ethics of journalism… Remember Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir's comments to the World Islamic Conference back in the fall of 2003? He said that US Jews dominated US cultural and political life -- and given that 80% of the Neocons are Jewish, it's not my fault -- nor Mahathir's -- that his remarks are right on! [...] Regards and thanks, CPTMAY"

"Our Ghost Troop mission of conscience began with honoring our dead comrades in the services who were receiving no just counting by the propaganda press. That mission has been covered widely in the international media and US alternative media, and is summed up nicely (I think) by National Vanguard. We became creative in finding ways around the Israel Lobby's propaganda arm (they call it the media) to pursue just honors for our fallen brothers and sisters, who are dying in far greater numbers than are being reported.

Captain May's “Jews control the media” theme of was subtly repeated in his piece “Amerika Über Alles” — Our Nazi Nation” posted on 911blogger by Carol Brouillet:

"Neither Hitler nor Bush could have effected their radical plans without a party full of functionaries and a compliant national media, of course. Hitler relied on his “Nazi” party, a word derived from the name of his National Socialist organization. He had a brilliant individual named Joseph Goebbels to control the Reich Propaganda Ministry and rally the public behind Nazi policies. Bush relied on his “Nozi” party, a word derived from “Zionism,” with the first four letters Z-i-o-n remixed into N-o-z-i. He had a brilliant cartel of Zionists to control the American Mainstream Media and rally the public behind Nozi policies."

Another article by May entitled “Jews for Torture” was hidden after breaking guidelines at Indymedia.

This is only a short sample of Captain May's work and antisemitism. Mark Rabinowitz from Oilempire.us questions why an anti-semite is promoted by websites like NY911Truth and MUJCA, supposedly a part Jewish alliance:

"Why does both MUJCA and NY911Truth feature a blatant anti-semite on their sites? ( a google search returns 14 entries [on MUJCA]) He sounds reasonable enough on these pages, but apparently no one has read a single other thing the supposed "former" intelligence Captain speculating about numerology has written. One would imagine that the Jewish members of the Muslim Christian Jewish Alliance might take offense, but apparently they haven't noticed either."

Captain May appeared on Webster Tarpley's radio show to accuse Jenny Sparks and Arabesque of being "trained COINTELPRO professionals", "organized COINTELPRO cells", etc.

"I wasn't referring to Cosmos in my comments about the disinformation efforts being conducted at 9/11Blogger. Candidly, I can't remember any particular comments by Cosmos. As for the equally pseudonymic Jenny Sparks and Arabesque, it's easier for me to have an informed opinion about them. Were I not busier with more important things, I think I could come up with a pretty good article identifying those who are either actual COINTELPRO or merely useful idiots being manipulated by COINTELPRO, and perhaps even grouped them according to the cells within which they work. In some cases over the last four years, my associates and I have even been able to trice [sic] COINTELPRO agents back to their FBI handlers." http://www.mail-archive.com/political-research@yahoogroups.com/msg09517.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Chicago911inquest/message/180
[see Kennebunkport Warning Controversy for a response to these claims]

These comments are also attributed to an email by Captain Eric May:

"I believe that... the more prolific of our antagonists in the Kennebunkport Warning matter were professional agitators. To take one example, 'Colonel Jenny Sparks' was harassing both the Oregon Truth Alliance and Portland Nuclear Inquest (which I lead) in the weeks before the Kennebunkport Warning. In typical agitator fashion, she claimed to do so in order to defend the 911 Truth Movement and debunk our "alarmism" for alerting Portland to the dangers the nuclear simulation, Operation Noble Resolve. She and cohorts infiltrated both group lists and hurled monkey wrenches in every direction before getting the boot. As a lasting memorial of the encounter, they then set up their own user group, made up of a mixed set of a dozen agitators and useful idiots, largely dedicated to damning me and browbeating [other local activists]. Every once in awhile I read it for amusement."

And these accusations of COINTELPRO were found in a radio interview with Webster Tarpley:

"Uh, with Jenny Sparks I think you're at both ends--I think she uses professional cointelpro cooperation and then useful idiots where ever they can be found... They're... trained cointelpro professionals--agitprop activists--and their job is not to produce positive analysis. If you can look far and near for any article of any consequence, by any of these people and you'll not find it. But what you'll find is a constant rat-a-tat of criticism against anyone else's work. And that is because their mission is not to develop the area of 911 analyses, or the next 911 prediction--it's to impede 911 analysis and prediction. So, these are classic disinformation tactics… you have to realize there are organized cointelpro cells… I've run into half a dozen of them. Anything from military professionals who went by rank, although would not sign their work, to, you know, cute synonyms like Arabesque or Jenny Sparks who would not sign their work… they usually coalesce and target specific points. You have to see them as military assets." [Note: Captain May has never provided any evidence to support these false allegations. See Kennebunkport Warning Controversy for a response to these claims]

The Kennebunkport Warning Controversy was characterized by accusations without evidence such as these. Indeed, Captain May was not the only one to make these allegations of COINTELPRO against investigators of the Kennebunkport Warning. After Captain May, Webster Tarpley, and others made these allegations for more than two months, an "Internet Cointelpro Alert" was posted:

"An effort is being made in some quarters to falsely attribute these faked and counterfeit postings, emails, and videos to Webster G. Tarpley, Bruce Marshall, Captain Eric May, and to other persons sympathetic to the Philadelphia Platform and/or the Kennebunkport Warning. Any such attempted attribution is a lie."

[note: see a list of confirmed emails, statements, radio interviews, Google videos, etc. by Webster Tarpley and his associates]

In fact, we have tied some of these videos to an associate of Captain May. "Ozzy bin Oswald", a member of Captain May's Ghost Troop email list was responsible for posting some of these videos, some of which accusing Arabesque, Cosmos, Jenny Sparks and others of belonging to Al Qaeda. These videos often make use of radio interviews by Captain May, and Webster Tarpley in the background.

You can see some of these videos at Ozzy bin Oswald's youtube account, which is linked to on one of his posts on Captain May’s Ghost Troop email list. Many of these videos by Ozzy bin Oswald reference the aliases of posters of other Al Qaeda accusation videos. While this is not a direct connection to Captain May, it is a connection nonetheless.

Summary

Captain May advocates antisemitism, holocaust denial, numerology, frequent warnings of another 9/11 attack, and accusations of COINTELPRO against legitimate 9/11 researchers frequently with dubious misinformation and often no evidence at all. His work is promoted by 9/11 activists who have a history of promoting and advocating controversial claims, researchers, and divisive behavior. "Guilt by association" is also a typical ploy used to discredit activist groups and the 9/11 truth movement is especially noteworthy for attempts to associate it with holocaust denial and antisemitism. In fact, this could be used as a deliberate strategy to discredit valid 9/11 research, evidence, and unanswered questions.

Kevin Barrett

Kevin Barrett is a prominent 9/11 activist. While he has significantly contributed awareness for the 9/11 truth movement, he has also damaged its credibility with damaging associations, discrediting theories, and controversial statements.

Support for 9/11 Disinformation

Barrett has supported 9/11 disinformation conferences such as The Science and the Politics of 9/11: What's Controversial, What's Not?[1] On 911blogger Barrett promoted this conference with the plea to “Join the cutting edge of the movement to save our planet.”[2] As Jim Hoffman observes, “Jim Fetzer's conference in Madison in August of 2007… included Morgan Reynolds, Judy Wood, Dave Von Kleist, Barbara Honegger, and others, and featured conclusively debunked theories, such as hologram planes and Tower-vaporizing space beam weapons.”[3]

In an interview after the conference, Barrett explained, "We can prove it's an inside job Seven Ways from Sunday--so it’s not that big a deal... how the illusions of... suicide hijackings were created."[4] Clearly, many disagree with this sentiment as Barrett complained that:

“‘Many participants lamented the phenomenon of "internet lynch mobs" comprised of angry emailers and bloggers demanding that this or that researcher be banished for heresy. Often these internet lynch mobs are made up of people who have not carefully studied the research issues that they so confidently pronounce on. Barrett urged those who find controversial research issues a distraction from 9/11 activism to either study those issues with an open mind, or ignore them and focus on activism. The worst thing to do is waste time and energy on fruitless infighting.’”[5]

Jim Hoffman observed of this last statement that “demonizing of critique and conflating it with infighting” is a distortion and contrary to peer review and the scientific method.[6] As Danse writes on truthaction.org, “By Barrett's logic I could run around saying the Easter Bunny runs the world -- and that 911 was an inside job -- and still retain an honored position in his friendly fraternity of ‘pro-truth’ voices. Here's another one: Dick Cheney is a space alien reptoid -- and 911 was an inside job. Care to invite me to the next conference? I'd be an excellent ambassador for the cause. If the amiable Mr. Barret doesn't have a problem with my theories why should you? I'm on the side of ‘truth’, remember?”[7]

Support for “TV fakery”

In a Scholars for 9/11 Truth press release, Barrett said, “I guess I’ll have to take this possibility more seriously now… In the past, I have assumed video fakery was far-fetched and that anyone who endorsed it was probably a crackpot! Now I’m not so sure.”[8]

Support for “Directed Energy Weapons”

In late 2006, Barrett endorsed the study of directed energy weapons on his radio show to explain the destruction of the world trade center on 9/11:

“I would urge people to go take a look at this material… 'I think we don't really need any kind of unanimity from researchers… I don't think this is doing any permanent harm to the 9/11 movement… 'I think people who are blowing it up into something really huge are either sort of panicking or just making a tactical mistake… [the perpetrators] would have taken advantage of the most advanced technologies of deception and demolition, and in fact they would have arranged it in such a way that anyone who figured out exactly what happened and described it accurately would sound completely insane… So, I wouldn’t rule out anything and I think we need to allow researchers to pursue their own path…”[9]

Support for Controversial 9/11 activists

Kevin Barrett forms the dynamic duo with Jim Fetzer.[10] His radio show has featured interviews with Morgan Reynolds, Judy Wood, Captain May,[11] and other controversial figures. Barrett describes Reynolds as “a provocateur in the good sense.”[12]

The Theory of Dialog and Social Interaction…

"The way I study [social interaction] is through dialog... I think we could use a little more conviviality within the Truth movement... one reason for that is that we want people to join us... by reaching out to them in a conviviality way... people will come on board... I think we need to enjoy dialog including with people that we don't agree with... [especially] non-9/11 truth people... I want dialog with [people who support the official story]—dialog is good... this is the key to the politics that we need to practice..."[13]

…Versus Practice

Barrett wasn’t joking when he said “I am not a hardcore nonviolence activist".[14] In response to a journalist who covered the disinformation conference The Science and the Politics of 9/11: What's Controversial, What's Not? Barrett wrote, "As the example of Nuremburg suggests, journalists who act as propagandists for war crimes may one day find themselves on the scaffold. You would be well advised to strive for more balanced and accurate coverage in the future."[15]

Similar comments include:

"Amy [Goodman], you will one day find yourself on the scaffold, condemned to hang alongside the other Goebbels-style traitors and mass-murder-coverup-conspirators from the corporate media you pretend to criticize… I stand by the opinion that the support Amy Goodman has given to the worst blood libel in human history, and her ensuing participation in the murder of over a million people in Iraq, Afghanistan and the USA, constitutes complicity in high treason, mass murder, war crimes, and other crimes against humanity. "[16]

"The State Department doesn’t know what it is talking about, but what else is new? Frankly I wonder who wrote this for the State Department. We need to find out because they are going to have to go up there on the scaffold with the other people who planned the attacks and more importantly the people who covered them up. The people complicit in the attacks need to be tried, condemned and sentenced."[17]

James B. of Screwloosechange observed that, "First Kevin Barrett said that Fox News employees should be hung. Then he said that the producers of United 93 should be tried for inciting war crimes, now he is expanding his list of those on death row to include just about every journalist in the world, while discussing an e-mail exchange he had with a journalist for Harper’s Magazine: 'My response to that was, you know, I think that anybody who has drawn a paycheck from the major mainstream journalistic outlets in the past should be up on the scaffold for the crimes of high treason and crimes against humanity.'"[18]

"If you are not aware that you're covering up for that traitor and mass murderer and yes insurance fraudster Silverstein, you'll figure it out when you're beside him on the scaffold. I'll be saving this email as evidence for your trial."[19]

"The Capital Times ownership and editorial decision-makers, like those of other mainstream U.S. news outlets, are setting themselves up to be prosecuted as war criminals. By publishing the endless stream of lies that brought us into the Iraqi and Afghan quagmires, without exercising duly diligent skepticism, journalistic decision-makers are following in the footsteps of Joseph Goebbels -- a path that ends at the scaffold."[20]

"Kevin Barrett contacted me after he heard that Kevin Ryan backed out of a debate opportunity with me. Barrett wanted to know if I was interested in debating him on his radio show, or perhaps in a live debate when he is in New York. In his email to me, he copied a response he had sent to a listener, in which he said that I was complicit in mass murder and a candidate for a war crimes tribunal, with the gallows perhaps in my future. I guess that's his idea of an inducement to debate."[21]

"As I understand it, the usual penalty for treason is hanging, not death by firing squad. In that case, it is likely that Mr. Bush will be hanged, not shot, for treason. By making this prediction, am I running the risk of having my clothesline confiscated? I also think that there is a real possibility that Mr. Bush will be electrocuted for the mass murder of 2,500 Americans in the World Trade Center. By stating this, am I risking a court order shutting off my electricity? I also foresee a small but very real possibility that Mr. Bush will die in the gas chamber. Does raising this possibility mean that my gas could be cut off?"[22]

"By blinding people to the need to take the only effective action, [Noam Chomsky] is bringing on disaster. If he convinces even one person to do something other than work for 9/11 truth, he may as well have personally murdered all 6 billion people on earth."[23]

Kevin Barrett on the Holocaust

Barrett is a founder of MUJCA,[24] “a group of scholars, religious leaders and activists dedicated to uniting members of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths in pursuit of 9/11 truth.”[25]

Despite being a founder of an alliance of diverse religions, Stephen Lemons observed that “Barrett said he could not dismiss the propaganda of Holocaust deniers like David Irving and Ernst Zundel, the latter of whom's currently doing five years in a German clink for anti-Semitic agitating.”[26] The evidence for this statement was an email sent by Barrett in late 2005:

“…it seems tragic that systematic Zionist Big Lies… have cast legitimate doubt upon ANYTHING Jews say about Jews and their recent history, including the Holocaust… I cannot possibly dismiss the arguments of people like Green, Irving, and even Zundel. And even if the 6-million-deliberately-murdered-for-purely-ethnic-reasons figure is correct—which it very well may be; I have grown agnostic on that after studying the Big Lies of Zionism—I would still have to characterize the Holocaust as it is taught in the US as a hideously destructive myth. (A myth is a sacred, worldview-inaugurating story its users believe to be true.) The upshot: nobody in the debate should be boycotted or vilified; nobody should be arrested for expressing honestly-held opinions; all voices should be heard; and the destructive myths and mind-numbing censorship imposed by Zionism must be swept clean so an honest assessment of history can emerge—at which point the Holocaust revisionists may very well be proven incorrect. And even if they are, they obviously should not be harassed or vilified, much less jailed!! In the meantime, voices like Green and AFPN should be heard and subjected to rational criticism, not vilified or silenced. And the use of state power to enforce Holocaust Fundamentalism must end!”[27]

Mark Rabinowitz from Oilempire.us questions why Captain May is promoted by websites like NY911Truth and Barrett’s MUJCA, supposedly a part Jewish alliance:

"Why does both MUJCA and NY911Truth feature a blatant anti-semite on their sites?... [Captain May] sounds reasonable enough on these pages, but apparently no one has read a single other thing the supposed ‘former’ intelligence Captain speculating about numerology has written. One would imagine that the Jewish members of the Muslim Christian Jewish Alliance might take offense, but apparently they haven't noticed either."[28]

“Without a method to distinguish true from false theories, investigations of the crime will remain mired in ambiguities. The scientific method is the proven method of distinguishing between true and false theories. The scientific method depends on critique (peer review). A culture hostile to critique is antagonistic to science and to the development of a persuasive, actionable case for investigation of the crimes of 9/11/01. Such a culture supports stereotypes of challenges to the official story as irrational and faith-based.” Critique of 9/11 Mysteries: The Necessity of Critique
