Real Time Problems with Bill Maher? Yes.

Part 1



Part 2



For some years, HBOs satirical weekly talk show host Bill Maher - of Real Time, has repeatedly vocalized his anger at those who question the government's account of the events of September 11th.

Whether its directed against a guest or used as a punch line, activists who try to tell the Truth of 9/11 have been lambasted as tin foil hat conspiracy theorists.

But, then again, Bill Maher also publicly states the Twin Towers burned for more than two hours. This would make little impact on national opinion if it were not for Maher's impressive viewership numbers. Ratings are the mark of a TV man and Bill is holding the high cards.

However, when it comes to documentation of what actually occurred on that tragic day and the alleged evidence that has since surfaced, it seems, the time has come for Maher to rethink his hand and call or fold.

Countless viewers and fans have contacted Real Time - and its producers over the years out of frustration and hope of getting any one - of a growing number, of experts invited onto his show as a guest to openly - without bias, discuss new evidence that appears to contradict most of what we have been told.

Maher and his team have not only refused to respond to any of their correspondence, but have also continued the live derision of a people, on a topic he has refused to research in any reputable way. So much so, that even after a $250,000 cash challenge issued by Jock Doubleday (to merely study the evidence), Maher continues his refusal to acknowledge on his show, all scientific evidence, the inconsistencies of the 9/11 Commission Report and the foreknowledge, cover-up, and/or the possible secret involvement of the United States Government in these attacks.

After more than a year of honest attempts, the 9/11 Truth Movement is done being belittled and used as television fodder for a comedian who seems to have taken on the 9/11 challenge and their message as a pet project to destroy.

UnSpun Newz's Adam Ruff and Cheri Roberts have picked up the challenge. This is their story.

Are there higher powers pushing the proverbial censorship buttons on Real Time? In viewing this newscast you will better understand the upcoming UnSpun Newz SPECIAL investigative report that will dig deeper into who signs Mr. Maher's paycheck and what exactly their ties are to 9/11 then - and 9/11 now.

9/11 Truth vs Mainstream Media

It's getting increasingly harder for Mainstream Media to ignore 9/11 Truth. Bill Maher and Geraldo try to ridicule 9/11 Truth but end up looking rather ridiculous themselves. See a great example of how "official" disinformation works.

Eight Traits of the Disinformationalist *
by H. Michael Sweeney

1) Avoidance. They never actually discuss issues head-on or provide constructive input, generally avoiding citation of references or credentials. Rather, they merely imply this, that, and the other. Virtually everything about their presentation implies their authority and expert knowledge in the matter without any further justification for credibility.

2) Selectivity. They tend to pick and choose opponents carefully, either applying the hit-and-run approach against mere commentators supportive of opponents, or focusing heavier attacks on key opponents who are known to directly address issues. Should a commentator become argumentative with any success, the focus will shift to include the commentator as well.

3) Coincidental. They tend to surface suddenly and somewhat coincidentally with a new controversial topic with no clear prior record of participation in general discussions in the particular public arena involved. They likewise tend to vanish once the topic is no longer of general concern. They were likely directed or elected to be there for a reason, and vanish with the reason.

4) Teamwork. They tend to operate in self-congratulatory and complementary packs or teams. Of course, this can happen naturally in any public forum, but there will likely be an ongoing pattern of frequent exchanges of this sort where professionals are involved. Sometimes one of the players will infiltrate the opponent camp to become a source for straw man or other tactics designed to dilute opponent presentation strength.

5) Anti-conspiratorial. They almost always have disdain for 'conspiracy theorists' and, usually, for those who in any way believe JFK was not killed by LHO. Ask yourself why, if they hold such disdain for conspiracy theorists, do they focus on defending a single topic discussed in a NG focusing on conspiracies? One might think they would either be trying to make fools of everyone on every topic, or simply ignore the group they hold in such disdain.Or, one might more rightly conclude they have an ulterior motive for their actions in going out of their way to focus as they do.

6) Artificial Emotions. An odd kind of 'artificial' emotionalism and an unusually thick skin -- an ability to persevere and persist even in the face of overwhelming criticism and unacceptance. This likely stems from intelligence community training that, no matter how condemning the evidence, deny everything, and never become emotionally involved or reactive. The net result for a disinfo artist is that emotions can seem artificial. Most people, if responding in anger, for instance, will express their animosity throughout their rebuttal. But disinfo types usually have trouble maintaining the 'image' and are hot and cold with respect to pretended emotions and their usually more calm or unemotional communications style. It's just a job, and they often seem unable to 'act their role in character' as well in a communications medium as they might be able in a real face-to-face conversation/confrontation. You might have outright rage and indignation one moment, ho-hum the next, and more anger later -- an emotional yo-yo. With respect to being thick-skinned, no amount of criticism will deter them from doing their job, and they will generally continue their old disinfo patterns without any adjustments to criticisms of how obvious it is that they play that game -- where a more rational individual who truly cares what others think might seek to improve their communications style, substance, and so forth, or simply give up.

7) Inconsistent. There is also a tendency to make mistakes which betray their true self/motives. This may stem from not really knowing their topic, or it may be somewhat 'freudian', so to speak, in that perhaps they really root for the side of truth deep within.

I have noted that often, they will simply cite contradictory information which neutralizes itself and the author. For instance, one such player claimed to be a Navy pilot, but blamed his poor communicating skills (spelling, grammar, incoherent style) on having only a grade-school education. I'm not aware of too many Navy pilots who don't have a college degree. Another claimed no knowledge of a particular topic/situation but later claimed first-hand knowledge of it.

8) BONUS TRAIT: Time Constant. Recently discovered, with respect to News Groups, is the response time factor. There are three ways this can be seen to work, especially when the government or other empowered player is involved in a cover up operation:

1) ANY NG posting by a targeted proponent for truth can result in an IMMEDIATE response. The government and other empowered players can afford to pay people to sit there and watch for an opportunity to do some damage. SINCE DISINFO IN A NG ONLY WORKS IF THE READER SEES IT - FAST RESPONSE IS CALLED FOR, or the visitor may be swayed towards truth.

2) When dealing in more direct ways with a disinformationalist, such as email, DELAY IS CALLED FOR - there will usually be a minimum of a 48-72 hour delay. This allows a sit-down team discussion on response strategy for best effect, and even enough time to 'get permission' or instruction from a formal chain of command.

3) In the NG example 1) above, it will often ALSO be seen that bigger guns are drawn and fired after the same 48-72 hours delay - the team approach in play. This is especially true when the targeted truth seeker or their comments are considered more important with respect to potential to reveal truth. Thus, a serious Truth Sayer will be attacked twice for the same sin.
