In post-9/11 America, the exercise of free speech is relegated to government mandated "free speech zones" and to insist the whole of the country is a free speech zone casts one in dark suspicion along with the likes Osama and the manufactured enemies of America.

9/11 Chronicles: Part One, Truth Rising is a testament to free speech, an endangered commodity in post September 11, 2001 America. Alex Jones’ latest documentary is a vivid testament standing in complete and defiant opposition to former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer’s admonishment that “nowadays you have to be careful what you say and do,” as if the orchestrated events of that horrible day have nullified the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. In Jones’ latest documentary, filmed in cinéma-vérité style — an appropriate technique, as the phrase translates from the French as “cinema of truth” — we witness repeated instances of police insisting the First Amendment is a dead letter and citizens no longer have the right to speak their minds in public, especially citizens going up against the imposed political orthodoxy and Fleischer’s counsel.

Truth Rising also reveals that it is not only New York City’s militarized police who believe the First Amendment is moribund, but many citizens do as well. “You ain’t American,” insists one such fine specimen at Ground Zero, angry over the possibility that somebody would actually dare contest the official version of events and ask questions and demand answers. Others fling mindless and obscene epithets and swipe at the camera, as if incapable of tolerating, let alone understanding and respecting the First Amendment, an absolute freedom that occupies a preferred position in the pantheon of our liberties. In post-9/11 America, the exercise of free speech is relegated to government mandated “free speech zones” and to insist the whole of the country is a free speech zone casts one in dark suspicion along with the likes Osama and the manufactured enemies of America.

Ari Fleischer’s warning is particularly injurious when it comes to the families of 9/11 victims and first responders, the latter consistently ignored, especially by the corporate media. In Truth Rising, first responder and former Iraq war vet David Miller, who is now reduced to toting around a respirator after his exposure to the toxicity of Ground Zero, takes the corporate media to task, rightfully characterizing this corporate cabal as “propagandists,” and “professional lairs and tools who cannot by any stretch of the imagination be considered journalists.” Miller, We Are Change, and unnumbered and mostly anonymous others have stepped forward to fill the imposed void of this deplorable corporate media silence — a deliberate suppression at the hands of their elitist taskmasters — with an indefatigable call not only for answers, but a demand that justice be delivered to the victims.

Manny Badillo, a 9/11 victim family member, reminds us in Truth Rising that “70% of family members’ questions were never answered during the 9/11 commission report. What if one of our family members were murdered, would we be okay with 70% of their questions never being answered during any trial? There still has never been a trial for those who have died, there still has been nobody held accountable.”

The 9/11 Chronicles demands those who killed 2,819 innocents, including well over 300 first responders, be called out and brought to justice. It is an effort to bring needed attention to the surviving first responders who are sick and dying in alarming numbers. It is an urgently needed effort to counter the disparaging propaganda of the corporate media — in particular but hardly limited to Hearst Corporation’s Popular Mechanics and its unscrupulous scheme to undermine the movement – a propagandistic media tasked with viciously mischaracterizing and slandering 9/11 truth activists as nothing short of crackpots and lunatics. Truth Rising is an answer to dismissive accusations. It documents a growing movement the corporate media refuses to cover without bias and detraction.

If you want to respond to these accusations, get 9/11 Chronicles: Part One, Truth Rising, and make copies, hand them out to your family, friends, and strangers on the street. Alex Jones, Luke Rudkowski, and many others featured in this documentary are patriots and heroes, not fruitcakes and traitors, as the corporate media insists at the behest of the government. Globalists and neocons within the government are afraid of the sort of truth so effectively presented in the 9/11 Chronicles. They are desperate to make sure the people never know the truth.

“How dare you” respond to lies and false history and deliver the light of truth to the darkness of criminal mendacity, rebuked Bill Clinton in Truth Rising when confronted by We Are Change. How dare you respond to one of the largest and most outrageous lies of American history? Clinton’s response is evidence proof positive our rulers are afraid of the truth finally finding the light of day. In Jones’ film, Rockefeller minion Zbigniew Brzezinski demands truth “sit down and shut up,” but it is too late now for that. Truth is on the street. It will not be silenced and 9/11 Chronicles: Part One, Truth Rising will make sure it spreads far and wide.
