Vicsim lit: the novels of 9/11

The notion of 'thousands of victims' was crucial to generate universal public outrage. However, having 3000 angry families breathing down their necks was never part of the perps' demented plan. Our ongoing analyses and investigations suggest that NO one died on 9/11.

Vicsim lit: the novels of 9/11

Unread post by hoi.polloi »

Here is a place to consider books, journals and allegedly intellectual writings of the creative sort - all used to promote the official story. Can we sort between what is propaganda and what is merely the creative writing of the naive/trusting wordsmith?

There's A Road To Everywhere Except Where You Came From
by Bryan Charles (Open City Books) http://www.opencity.org

Image

http://therumpus.net/2011/09/is-there-a-911-literature/

The unbelievable story of Mister Charles from Galesburg, Michigan provides narrative of being in WTC2 during one of the simulated "plane strikes". Reviewed by Jewish Holocaust fiction writer Michael Chabon: “A sneakily disturbing, disarmingly profound, casually devastating memoir, taut and adept, that cracked me up even at its saddest moments, and broke my heart almost without my quite noticing.”

"This is the book I can't forget...Full of insightful, transcendent regular-guy moments and bad decisions, it didn't make me like the author, but it knocked me on my ass." — Library Journal

Perhaps the "bad decisions" mentioned above are actually having to do with the writing rather than the decisions of our heroic Bryan sim ... because this is an actual quote from this terribly written/plotted book. See if you can read the usual 9/11 script - and its logical fallacies - in this passage:
We got back in the stairwell. We kept going down. A moment later huge sound erupted. The building shook. I slipped down the stairs. I grabbed the railing. The tower pitched forward. The tower groaned. Then it stopped and rocked back in the other direction. The huge sound was still happening and then it wasn't anymore. People around me cried out for god. The tower swayed. It felt like it was going to break in two and fall into the street. My mind switched off.
After the third sentence from this paragraph, I don't even know where to begin dissecting just how wrong it all sounds ... how wrong it is.

Company: Unclear. Are they just naive? I've sent them this message:
Hi,

I have been researching the 9/11 event for five years. I have come to understand through my research that there are many propagandists working on novelistic fiction sold as true events especially in regards to the MI-CIA-fabricated "War on Terror".

I recently read a naive review of the Bryan Charles story and it strikes me that "There's A Road To Everywhere ..." is one of these poorly written propaganda stories, especially at the point where the plane supposedly "hits". I was wondering if you have had any personal contact with Bryan Charles and if you are willing to share anything about them.

Since I believe nobody was in the towers when the terrorist attack happened in 2001, I was wondering if you could provide contrary evidence by assuring me you know Bryan Charles is a real person who you have met in the flesh and whom you believe strongly is not associated with your magazine for any ulterior motive.

Thanks for your time in clarifying your relationship to someone known as Bryan Charles. I suspect because you're a highly praised, thoughtful literary magazine you will be capable of looking deep inside for the answer and responding to me in a humane and intellectual fashion rather than with a knee-jerk New York style dismissal of my suspicions. ;)

Yours,
Hoi Polloi

Bryan Charles was written about by someone named 'John Liberty' (Yes, really, someone is claiming their name is John Liberty and they are writing about a 9/11 propaganda story. Go figure.) That article is visible here: http://www.mlive.com/entertainment/kala ... m_his.html

In it, we see a picture (called "large" though it is actually a small picture) of "Bryan Charles" half in shadow. We learn he was a financial writer for the giant corrupt corporation Morgan Stanley in the second tower of WTC.

Image

We also learn that:
very few people can relate to Charles’ Tuesday morning in New York City in 2001 [...] Recognizing this, Charles said he set out to write a memoir that allows the reader to identify with that day, but in the context of their own life.
I see. So placing everyone in his shoes inside the heart of the propaganda false flag event. Fascinating. How ever can we thank him?

His "website" is a promotion of his books: bryancharles.noslander.com
Grab On To Me Tightly As If I Knew the Way (Harper Collins, a publisher of mainstream media books)
and
Wowee Zowee (released in 2010 by Continuum Publishing Group - another London/NewYork house)

Ruling: Bryan Charles claims to be a real person rather than a novelistic nom de plume. Blatant propaganda

Atta
by Jarett Kobek (Semiotext(e)) http://semiotexte.com/?page_id=995

From the official description on the site:
Ours is a century of fear. Governments and mass media bombard us with words and images: desert radicals, “rogue states,” jihadists, WMDs, existential enemies of freedom. We labor beneath myths that neither address nor describe the present situation, monstrous deceptions produced by a sound bite society. There is no reckoning of actuality, no understanding of the individual lives that inaugurated this echo chamber.

In the summer of 1999, Mohamed Atta defended a master’s thesis that critiqued the introduction of Western-style skyscrapers in the Middle East and called for the return of the “Islamic-Oriental city.” Using this as a departure point, Jarett Kobek’s novel ATTA offers a fictionalized psychedelic biography of Mohamed Atta that circles around a simple question: what if 9/11 was as much a matter of architectural criticism as religious terrorism? Following the development of a socially awkward boy into one of history’s great villains, Kobek demonstrates the need for a new understanding of global terrorism. Joined in this volume by a second work, “The Whitman of Tikrit”–a radical reimagining of Saddam Hussein’s last day before capture–ATTA is a brutal, relentless, and ultimately fearless corrective to ten years of propaganda and pandering.

Jarett Kobek is the son of a Turkish immigrant and a graduate of New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study. His Pushcart Prize-nominated fiction has been anthologized alongside Haruki Murakami and F. X. Toole. His first novel was commissioned and published by Book Works of London as part of the experimental literature Semina series. He lives in California.
Since the book simply villainizes Saddam and the already heavily fictionalized Mohammed Atta[ck!], does it really do its job of questioning the mass media? Or does it pose as a sort of Dallasgoldbug anonymous Internet entity confusing fact and fiction to gain trust while decrying "lies of mass media" - just so it can re-insert existing intellectual propaganda?

What is the Gallatin school at 1 Washington Place in the middle of NoHo, manhattan? Must all these books come from the city itself, even as they are associated with California artists (or London again and again for thusfar inexplicable reasons)?

It claims to be fiction. It claims to be questioning the media. It paints Atta and Hussein as fleshed-out villains in the most simulated portions of their lives. In Atta's case, since he is a simmad, his whole life; in Hussein's case, the dubious official story of his capture and his last moments in hiding during the latest Gulf War II invasion. The book nears completion by asking:
Why do we bother with what necessarily must, at best, be a thought exercise?
I suppose we would be meant to ask the same thing without it ever being spelled out for us: the book is a giant cork to keep the genie of TV fakery in the bottle. As it plainly poses as the only necessary questions about Atta without ever asking why Atta seems to be a barely simulated fake entity, it isn't that tough to wonder where it fits in the grand scheme.

Verdict: possible deliberate propaganda / possible "helpful idiot" writing - either way, useless art-to-be once we help the world collectively escape the grasp of the simulation

Some more to look at if anyone has the time. Please, Maat, nonhocapito, Simon or others, I could use some help examining this library. Anyone interested in picking one of these that looks particularly fucked up to you and doing a review of the alleged authors/publishers?

I had posted a while back about Don DeLillo and his shameful propaganda novel "Falling man".

http://cluesforum.info/viewtopic.php?p=2348883#p2348883

DeLillo is a "serious", well known author -- and yet it is impossible not to see his book as pure propaganda aimed at confirming the reality of the victims from every possible angle. A whole book thought and written looking at fake pictures, that eventually cannot but ring faked from head to toe.
He went past a line of fire trucks and they stood empty now, headlights flashing. He could not find himself in the things he saw and heard. Two men ran by with a stretcher, someone facedown, smoke seeping out of his hair and clothes. He watched them move into the stunned distance. That’s where everything was, all around him, falling away, street signs, people, things he could not name.

Then he saw a shirt come down out of the sky. He walked and saw it fall, arms waving like nothing in this life.
etc.

Delillo's most famous novel, Underworld, deals largely with the age of the bomb and the beginning of the cold war, and in DeLillo's words was inspired by this front page of the New York Times, dated October 4 1951:

p.s. I will look into the list, Hoi. It obviously contains outrageous material that deserves to be exposed. I just need to see if there is something in it that I can read without, er, giving monneys to the authors. :rolleyes:

Eenie, meanie... :lol:

Ok, starting with, "Thunder Dog: The True Story of a Blind Man, His Guide Dog, and the Triumph of Trust at Ground Zero by Michael Hingson", there's the usual nauseating script but some very weird oddities as well. http://michaelhingson.com/newsite/2010/ ... interview/

http://michaelhingson.com/newsite/

According to their script, after Hingson gained a Masters degree in physics he went on to a 25 year career in computer sales & marketing.

Video Notes: In 2002 Michael joined the Guide Dogs for the Blind team as the National Public Affairs director, to share his story throughout the world on behalf of the school. In June of 2008 Michael left Guide Dogs to form The Michael Hingson Group to continue his speaking career as well as to serve as a consultant for corporations and organizations that need assistance with Diversity and adaptive technology training.

Michael Hingson is available for speaking engagements, public appearances, consulting and training contract positions and media interviews.
Since blind perp puppet Michael Hingson is evidently just the 'front' for this vicsim-survivor cash con, he had a ghost writer and very ghostly 'she' is too <_<

Now compare the teenage looking girl 'singing' badly in this promo for 'her' book "Dog Tales" with the supposedly mature woman depicted in the bio & "Thunder Dog" promo vid above:

Not really any physical resemblance between them I can see, Makk (totally different facial ratios, structure, jaw etc.). Just the contrived & manipulated nature of it all is what strikes me as familiar. :)

Be a bit hard to pull that one off, since their GG sim is supposedly 'one armed' now :P

It's the apparent discrepancy between the two video 'appearances' purported to be by "Susy Flory" that is very peculiar:

Even IF the "Dog Tales" promo is supposed to be by a 'daughter', why is there no acknowledgement of that anywhere, not on the Flory bio or YT account (not to mention that a teen/young adult 'daughter' wearing identical style eyeglasses to her 'mother's' is highly unlikely :rolleyes:)
Susy is a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors (ASJA), and a CLASS certified speaker. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and two children. [no ages mentioned]
