9/11’s Canadian Crusaders — Barrie Zwicker

Barrie Zwicker

Journalist and media analyst, Zwicker has worked for The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, Vancouver Province, Sudbury Star, Detroit News, and Vision TV.

Zwicker is also the creator of the Sources directory, and is a former professor with Ryerson Polytechnic University in Toronto.

9/11 Sceptic since?

“I became not only suspicious, but decided – and told people around me – that this is ‘a Reichstag Fire 2001‘ by 11 a.m. on the day of the events (that’s what I call them: ‘events’ is a neutral term used in science and police ‘occurrence’ sheets.) Police cannot jump the gun; until an event is determined to be a crime it remains an ‘event.’”

Why?

“The reason I saw that the events of 9/11 were an inside job was the failure of any jet interceptor of the US air force, the most powerful and technologically advanced in the world, to turn a wheel until it was too late, during a drama in the skies that lasted almost two hours. As a former Flight Sergeant in the Royal Canadian Air Cadets and a person very interested in aviation all my life, it clearly was impossible. The air force was “stood down” which meant that whoever commanded the air force did or arranged that.”

“[The] lack of investigation or compromised investigation (as with the official 9/11 commission) is an aspect of cover-up. It happens all the time, in small and large matters, when the authorities do not want ‘the truth‘ to come out about a given event. The other side of the coin is disinformation put out instead of information. The mainstream media (and, it is important to note, the so-called alternative media) are, with a tiny number of honorable exceptions, totally complicit in the cover-up of 9/11. Without this complicity by the media, false flag operations COULD NOT SUCCEED. In spite of their vast resources, actually quite clever planning, and rather good execution of fake events, there always are telltale signs of the true perpetrators.”

Contribution:

One of the most prominent members of the 9/11 Truth movement, Zwicker is regarded as the first journalist to question the official government explanation for the events of September 11, 2001 in the mainstream media on his program The Great Deception, broadcast March 2002 on Vision TV in Canada.

Zwicker is also the producer and host of the 75-minute DVD The Great Conspiracy: The 9/11 News Special You Never Saw (Sept. 2004), and the author of the book Towers of Deception: The Media Cover-up of 9/11 ( New Society Publishers; September 1, 2006)

He is also a tireless 9/11 Truth activist and lecturer.

Why should we care?

“The official conspiracy theory about 9/11 remains the linchpin for the so-called ‘war on terror‘ which continues in turn to justify more surveillance of Canadians, more integration of Canadian so-called intelligence agencies with their US (and smarter, more devious) counterparts, growing military budgets, diminution of civil liberties, more intrusive security activities at airports and elsewhere, and much more. Very importantly, Canada’s activities in Afghanistan are predicated upon the official conspiracy theory, evidence for which was never provided to the NATO council in October 2001 to trigger Article 5 of the NATO Charter.”

    The first comment here is spot on – on the morning of 911 Barrie Zwicker had basically no evidence about what had happened but was reaching his conclusions about it. Then a few months after the event he made videos and commentries where he presents inaccurate, disorted and misleading evidence about the event. Then a few years later he presented more videos based on more inaccurate and distorted evidence. In 2012 , given the opportunity to discuss those inaccuracies and the conclusions he reached about them, and that he persuaded others to reach about them, he didn’t take thet opportunity. Barrie Zwicker never addresses these things because no interviewer ever challenges him on them and tells him how wise he is.

    *“I became not only suspicious, but decided – and told people around me – that this is ‘a Reichstag Fire 2001’ by 11 a.m. on the day of the events (that’s what I call them: ‘events’ is a neutral term used in science and police ‘occurrence’ sheets.) Police cannot jump the gun; until an event is determined to be a crime it remains an ‘event.’”*

    ho boy.

    What do you say in response to such – there is no other word for it – insanity?

    So Zwicker decided – whilst the events were still in play – that this was a `false flag’ operation? I mean, what need have you of evidence when you’ve already made up your mind?

    I’ll say it slowly for you, Zwicker:

    A 180,000 lb jet, travelling at least 700 mph, has its momentum TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY ARRESTED by a thousand-foot plus tower… and yet this is insufficent to cause that tower to collapse?

    ho boy.
