  The World Trade Center Demolition and the So-Called War on Terrorism
The official story also includes the assertion that the "19 terrorists" were all from Saudi Arabia, and that their identities were announced within a few days by the FBI (though at least six are reportedly still alive enough to protest at the misuse of their identities).
The "official report" on the collapse of the Twin Towers was released in mid-2002 by a group conducting its "inquiry" under the direction of FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency).
The elephant which is the falsity of the official story, the fact that what all high officials in the Bush administration, and all their lackeys and hangers-on in the corporate-controlled media and elsewhere, have been asserting for nearly four years cannot be true.

 Amazon.com: The Official Story: DVD: Héctor Alterio,Norma Aleandro,Chunchuna Villafañe,Hugo Arana,Guillermo ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Argentinean first-time director Luis Puenzo tells the story of a strong-willed teacher who tries to learn the true identity of her adopted daughter's father, coming to suspect that he was a political prisoner.
The film "The Official Story" wraps the politics of government-supported torture and the slaughter of thousands of Argentinians around the awakening of the social conscience of one woman.
The Official Story is an excellent example of how to mix political cinema with human drama, avoiding agitprop or crude sloganeering to put a human face on the issue of Argentina's disappeared - in particular the children taken away from undesirables and given to well-connected families who won't ask any questions.

 9/11 Official Story is Bogus
The official story of the World Trade Center collapse on 9/11 is "bogus," according to Morgan Reynolds, a top economist from the Bush team during his first administration.
If the official wisdom on the collapses is wrong, as I believe it is, then policy based on such erroneous engineering analysis is not likely to be correct either.
Other experts supporting the official story claim the impact of the airplanes, not the heat, weakened the entire structural system of the towers, but critics contend the beams on floors 94-98 did not appear severely weakened, much less the entire structural system.

 The Official Story
During a two-day period in December 1955, the house was moved 11.5 miles from the northwest part of the installation to a new site on Redstone Road, across the street from Building 7101 that was then post headquarters.
In May 1956, the guesthouse was officially named "Goddard House" in honor of Dr. Robert H. Goddard, the famous scientist generally recognized as the "Father of American Rocketry."
However, the ante-bellum structure continues to stand as a reminder of a time when the economy of the area was based on cotton rather then missiles.

 911Truth.org ::::: The 9/11 Truth Movement
It is well documented that the officials topping the chain of command for response to a domestic attack - George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Myers, Montague Winfield - all found reason to do something else during the actual attacks, other than assuming their duties as decision-makers.
The identities of the alleged hijackers remain unresolved, there are contradictions in official accounts of their actions and travels, and there is evidence several of them had "doubles," all of which is omitted from official investigations.
Officials who "failed" (like Myers and Eberhard, as well as Frasca, Maltbie and Bowman of the FBI) were given promotions.

 The Official Story   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Diurector/co-writer Luis Puenzo's The Official Story tells the shattering story of post-junta Argentina, when something of normal life has returned to the population.
It follows a woman named Alicia (played by Norma Aleandro, who won the Cannes Film Festival award as Best Actress for her performance), a history teacher whose biggest problem is the insubordination of her current crop of students, who refuse to take the word of the accepted history texts as gospel.
While Alicia is thrilled to see her, she is disturbed by Ana's story of having been kidnapped and tortured by the juntas: but Alicia is stunned when Ana tells her that while in captivity she learned that pregnant women who gave birth while in prison had their babies taken away from them and sold.

 Scientific Poll: 84% Say 9/11 Is A Cover Up
The latest poll also shows a massive awakening has occurred recently given that previous estimates indicated that around 34% still believed the official story and around 30% were oblivious altogether.
Alex Jones declared that the Truth movement has cause to celebrate this evening as it is now beyond any doubt that the vast majority of Americans know that the official story of 19 Saudis with box cutters is ludicrous.
The next step is to use the majority opinion as leverage towards officially changing the record of what happened on 9/11, forcing the mainstream media into addressing the issue, not as a quirky news item, but as a serious re-defining of the state of the nation and the world today.

 McVeigh Video Destroys OKC Bombing Official Story
On August 3rd 1993, Bean was given a tour of the Camp Grafton military facility in North Dakota as part of a research effort to scout possible shooting locations for a film he was working on.
That individual has now been positively identified to be Timothy McVeigh, who according to the official timeline as endorsed by the FBI, was honorably discharged from the military for the last time in May 1992.
The likely reason for this was the fact that Bush senior and Clinton were responsible for bringing in nearly 1,000 Iraqi soldiers captured by U.S. forces during the 1991 Persian Gulf War, some of whom were involved in the bombing.

 Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story | Official Movie Site | Picturehouse
Michael Winterbottom's TRISTRAM SHANDY: A COCK AND BULL STORY is a rollicking, inventive adaptation of the classic 18th Century comic novel "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman" by Laurence Sterne.
A well-known though not necessarily widely read masterpiece, "The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman" is a bawdy romp that plays with the techniques and conventions of the novel; its autobiographical speaker is prone to narrative excursions, direct addresses to the reader, and other eccentricities that make his tale anything but linear.
On top of that, a journalist is chasing the actor about a scandalous story, and his agent has arrived with a load of scripts for him to read.

 La Historia Oficial (1985) (aka The Official Story)
Integrating the uncertainty sweeping Argentina, in the early 1980s, with one woman's realisation of her unknowing complicity in this reign of terror, The Official Story is a deeply moving debut.
The cumulative impact of small details and incidents is devastating, slowly building to a climax and still ending in ambiguity, such is the control of the script.
However, The Official Storyis so good that it introduces far more questions than it can hope to answer (some of which simply can't be solved), leaving us desperate for further information (see Las Madres de la Plaza de Mayo for further insights).
