I am not just rooting for The Happening to be a good movie, I am rooting for Shyamalan to surprise not just us but himself. OK, that is pretentious and condescending of me to write, but I mean it that way. Shyamalan’s done nothing else in his film career than present us with a riddle [...]

I really want to believe that the government was involved in creating the 9/11 disaster in order to inspire a sense of fear in the public that would allow them to seize more power. So I am a little disappointed that NOVA (the PBS show) has a great collection of A/V presentations to rebut 9/11 [...]

Time to beat my favorite dead horse up some more. I found a 12-part series on YouTube about 9/11 that asks all the missing questions….and employs a charming velvet-throated woman to voice them.

Why is Usama Bin Laden still not wanted for 9/11? And why is it not news? DMIESSLER.COM asks the hard questions and asks us to dig deeper…

This doco, No End In Sight, is coming out in less than a week, but has anyone heard about it? (I suppose they could be planning a small Internet marketing campaign to give rise to a huge word of mouth campaign.) The trailer is chilling and makes the film out to be a sober and [...]
Excerpt:
As much as I hate to admit it, I gotta give Danny Bonaduce credit for that joke. Fort Dix terror suspects are indicted “inspired by . . . al Qaeda, a foreign terrorist organization” and were plotting an “armed paramilitary attack” on Fort Dix. The six were arrested following a 16-month investigation launched after a [...]
