TEXT OF 9/11 CULTWATCH PRESS RELEASE DATED 4/11/06
 
As Goya knew, the sleep of reason brings forth monsters--or their modern day equivalent, conspiracy theorists.  The events of 9/11/01 in the USA, and London 7/7/05, were disasters cynically used by the Bush and Blair regimes to start wars in Iraq & Afghanistan/impose repressive laws.  That, we take as read.
 
 
However, there is another group, comprised of the deluded, the bewildered & the opportunist, who for a variety of reasons have leapt on the 9/11 band-wagon, and use these tragedies to spread various conspiracy theories (sometimes overtly anti-semitic), both about the events themselves and those allegedly behind them.
 
 
A group of us, most (but not all) involved with Left/Green political investigative magazine Notes From the Borderland (NFB--see www.borderland.co.uk) have become increasingly concerned at the activities of what we term '9/11 cult' believers here in the UK, not least (but not only) because of the involvement of ex-MI5 officers Annie Machon & David Shayler in this group.  An irony not lost on us is that for years NFB has been pursuing evidence-based research--the audience for which is diminished/debased by the 9/11 myth-makers.  Our reasons for the disquiet are many, and if you visit the web-site  www.911cultwatch.org.uk you will find 
 
 
1) Legitimate concerns about the UK 9/11 Truth Movement concisely set out in summary form.
 
2) A definition and explanation of why we think the UK 9/11 Truth Movement is a cult.
 
3) In full, a recent Notes From the Borderland piece critically analysing the role played by Machon/Shayler in all this.
 
4) An ongoing critical guide to research resources concerning what did happen on 9/11
 
5) On the links page, a guide to essential on-line resources countering 9/11 cult propaganda/delusions. 
 
WHAT WE SUGGEST YOU DO NOW
 
1) Look at the web-site (which we will be adding to) to assess our claims/plausibility
 
2) If writing news stories/scheduling programmes on the 9/11 Truth Movement, contact us for a right of reply/comment.
 
3) If you do intend to show any 9/11 cult films, or air 9/11-related programmes/interviews to fill empty schedule slots, not only think twice, but if you go ahead, allow us a right of reply/comment in any ensuing discussion
