The deafening silence

Do you hear it?

Neither do I.

It's been 6 days now since Charlie Sheen put his entire career and probably life on the line, by bravely challenging the American media to a debate on the truth of 9-11.

Can you hear it now?

I don't either.

France, Russia, England, India...these countries have wasted little time in giving the story front page status. The American news media...crickets.

Well I take that back. There were a limited few voices in American media that chimed right in with the expected ad-hominem attacks the day after he came forward. They played right into Mr. Sheen's hand with that move however, prompting him to immediately challenge his detractors to an un-edited live television debate. Meghan McCain, Bill O'reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limpbaugh, heck Mr. Sheen even invited the authors of the Popular Mechanics "debunking team" to join the live debate. And since his challenge...

Do you hear it yet?

I don't either.

So not only has Mr. Sheen called out the establishment, he has given them the chance to silence the truth movement once and for all...yet...there are no takers. Even the "progressive" American blogosphere is not touching this story. What are people so afraid of?

I think David Lynch summed it up best. (He's a "truther" too, ofcourse you wouldn't know this thanks to the free and open American media.) He was quoted in a 2006 Dutch TV interview as saying "It's just too big" after being asked about the concept of the US government being involved in the 9-11 attacks. "People just don't want to think about it."

Unfortunately he is right. I think he also stumbled onto the reality of America, our one true legacy if you will.

Willful ignorance.
