(which he agreed to receive). My only intent throughout our interaction was as such: I wanted Art Bell to tell me where our research was faulty, especially when there is such a preponderance of evidence showing that the government/mainstream media’s version of events surrounding that horrible morning has more holes in it than a block of Swiss cheese.

On July 28, 2004, WING TV aired an Art Bell 9-11 Outrage video, along with an article I wrote entitled Art Bell: Burn in Hell. Then, on August 3, 2004 I e-mailed Art, asking: “When are you going to come clean about 9-11? Who has their hold on you? Please, speak out – tell the truth and let’s expose these bastards once and for all. If anything at all matters to you on this planet or in this existence, you should throw all caution to the wind and expose them. Truth matters, Art … show us that it matters to you too.”

In responding to this note, Art showed his true colors by writing, “Are these really your words, or the little voices in your head?”

Can you see what Art is doing? He’s using the oldest trick in the book that EVERY corporate-controlled media hack in the world uses – he marginalized us, just like Rush Limbaugh, Dan Rather, or Time magazine would do. It’s the same exact tactic! Thus, Art none to subtly lumped every 9-11 researcher in the same category as black helicopters, Bigfoot, alien abductees, and the National Enquirer. Instead of seriously considering our evidence and maturely discussing it, he used the same techniques as the mainstream bought-out corporate media uses – he marginalized us to the edge while intentionally ignoring the facts.

My reply on August 4, 2004 was as follows: “Art, considering the importance of 9-11, why would you respond to me in the exact same fashion as those in the mainstream media – by marginalizing this subject and making a mockery of it? How very sad, and in all honesty, how pathetic. How old are you, Art? In your 50s? I would think you’d be a bit more mature. Maybe not. I seriously think you need to grow up, my friend. Anyway, let’s cut through all the crap. How about I send you ten questions about 9-11 --- inconsistencies, if you will --- and you can respond to them and try to explain the many holes in the government/mainstream media’s version of events. Let’s do this MAN TO MAN, Art. Are you up for it, or are you still going to keep playing games?”

Art responded later that day: “I let my listeners listen to your cute little video. I will not play ten or twenty questions with you. Please go bug somebody else.”

But this isn’t the only time Art has marginalized us or avoided questions regarding 9-11. Someone I’ll call R.J. forwarded this e-mail that he sent to Art Bell on August 6, 2004, with the following message in the subject line: ART CRINGES AND HIDES LIKE A SPINELESS, YELLOW-BELLIED WORM: “So Art, why don't you just disseminate the truth about 9-11 sent to you by Victor Thorn from "Wing TV" and let your audience draw their own conclusions?! What are you afraid of? Or should I ask, who are you afraid of???!!!”

Art responded once again by using the same old tried-and-true tactic of avoidance and marginalization: “Not afraid of anybody, save kooks, nuts and well, you know … those little voices!”

After reading these words, I was reminded of a piece entitled TWENTY-FIVE RULES OF DISINFORMATION written by the contributing editor of Defense Watch, Ralph Omholt:

Here is entry # 1: “Regardless of what you know, don’t discuss it – especially if you are a public figure, news anchor, etc. If it’s not reported, it didn’t happen, and you never have to deal with the issues.”

In addition, here is entry # 5: “Sidetrack opponents with name calling and ridicule. This is also known as the ‘attack the messenger’ ploy, though other methods qualify as variants of that approach. Associate opponents with unpopular titles such as “kooks,” “right-wing,” “liberal,” “left-wing,” “terrorists,” “conspiracy buffs,” “radicals,” “militia,” “racists,” “religious fanatics,” and so forth. This makes others shrink from support out of fear of gaining the same label, and you avoid dealing with the issues.”

Don’t these two passages perfectly describe what Art Bell is doing? There is no other conclusion that we can now reach – Art Bell is a disinformation specialist supreme!

Anyway, since Art Bell refuses to directly answer my 9-11 questions, what I’m going to do is lay them out on the Internet so that each and every one of you can turn up the heat and forward them to Art at: artbell@mindspring.com
