DESCRIPTION:"Deconstructing Deceit: 9/11, the Media, and Misinformation" \n\nWhat:  An 
 afternoon colloquium on recent historical public perception management, 
 information control, and propaganda surrounding the events of September 11, 
 2001.  The two sessions will focus on media coverage and misinformation 
 around 9/11 issues with examples of case studies concerning the destruction 
 of the WTC towers and Building 7.  \n\nDetails:  Saturday, April 21, 2007, 
 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm at Berkeley City College 2050 Center St. (one block west 
 of the Downtown Berkeley BART in the basement auditorium).  This event is 
 free and open to the public and is wheelchair accessible. \n 
 \nProceedings:\n\nSession One- History and Context-  A conversation between 
 BCC history instructor Mickey S. Huff, MA, and KPFA'sGuns and Butter host 
 Bonnie 	Faulkner on the weaponization of information in U.S. history and 
 media 	misinformation and alternative coverage on 9/11 issues;   
 \n\nSession Two - Case Studies and Misinformation- Architect Richard Gage, 
 AIA, \nand research scientist Jim Hoffman, MFA, will focus on the role of 
 media perception management and misinformation in cementing the official 
 narrative of the 9/11 attack underlying the War on Terror -- particularly 
 regarding the destruction of three WTC skyscrapers.  Gage will present 
 factual evidence challenging media and government reports on the 
 “collapse” of the buildings while Hoffman will analyze various official 
 accounts of misinformation and perception management\n\nQ&A will follow 
 each session.  Critical thinking and questioning is highly 
 encouraged.\n\nThe event is part of the History of U.S. Media class for 
 BCC's Global Studies Program and is sponsored by Project Censored, KPFA's 
 Guns and Butter, SF911Truth, Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth, and 
 Scholars for 911 Truth and Justice.  The event is free and open to the 
 public and is wheelchair accessible. \n\nContact:

 Guns & Butter, a one-hour public affairs program that is broadcast every 
 Wednesday from1:00pm to 2:00pm on Pacifica's KPFA Radio in Berkeley, 
 94.1FM. The program regularly analyzes the events of September 11th, 2001 
 as a pretext for permanent war, including the phony war on terror, and the 
 rationale for the emergence of a militarized police state. Guns & Butter 
 regularly covers in-depth analysis of geopolitics, capitalism, war and 
 state sponsored terror, in addition to programming on other subjects 
 including Africa, China, genetic engineering, etc. Prior to joining KPFA, 
 she was a co-producer of Project Censored's monthly public affairs radio 
 documentary, "For The Record."  \n  \nRichard Gage, AIA, has been an 
 architect for 20 years and has designed numerous fire-protected 
 steel-framed buildings.  He is employed with a San Francisco Bay Area 
 architecture firm currently performing Construction Administration for a 
 new local $120M High School campus.  He became interested in the 9/11 WTC 
 high-rise “Collapses” after hearing the startling conclusions of a 
 reluctant 9/11 researcher, David Ray Griffin, on KPFA radio in May of 2006 
 which changed his life radically and launched his own unyielding quest for 
 9/11 Truth, and inspired him to found the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 
 Truth (www.ae911truth.org).\n\nJim Hoffman, MFA, has been researching the 
 September 11, 2001 attack since the spring of 2003, when he began creating 
 the now-acclaimed 9-11 Research website. On September 11, 2003, Hoffman 
 gave the first in a series of talks, The Twin Towers' Demolition, exposing 
 the fraudulence of the official collapse investigations and providing 
 direct evidence of demolition.  A software developer by profession, Hoffman 
 performed pioneering work in mathematical visualization and has co-authored 
 articles in Science and Macromolecules for work in polymer 
 science.\n\nMickey S. Huff, MA, is adjunct faculty in history and critical 
 thinking at Berkeley City College, Chabot College, and Diablo Valley 
 College.  He is co-director of the alternative polling group Retropoll 
 (www.retropoll.org) and a Community Evaluator for Project Censored.  He has 
 been teaching the course “America, 9/11, and the War on Terror:  
 Foreign/Domestic Policy, Media, and Propaganda” as part of critical 
 thinking in history classes for the past 4 years as well as “History of 
 U.S. Media”.  Most recently, he has participated at a number of 
 conferences on 9/11 issues including "Lifting the Fog: The Scientific 
 Method applied to the World Trade Center Disaster," Project Censored Annual 
 Media Accountability Conference on “Suppression of Information and 
 Post-9/11 Invasions,” ACME Coalition Conference, Champlain College in 
 Burlington, VT, "Facing the Media Crisis: Media Education for Reform, 
 Justice, and Democracy," and at St. Mary's College public lecture series.\n
