"I question things, and I do not believe Bush simply because he says something. And I don’t believe MSNBC, CNN, BBC, or any of the rest of them simply because they say it. The fact is that-why did we not have any fighter jets around the Pentagon after two jets had slammed into the WTC, a third jet was heading at full speed towards the Pentagon on FAA radar, and yet we had no fighter jets around the Pentagon. George Bush should be impeached for criminal negligence at best." - 2003 - MSNBC Interview Ken O’Keefe - Mike Barnacle

Ken Nichols O'Keefe in the Media

I must say one thing; being on television or having articles written about me or my actions never made me feel any better about myself. My conscience is my guide and I could not care less what major corporate media has to say about me. But one thing is for sure, the misquotes, quotes out of context, character assassinations and outright lies about me are all confirmation that my life has been at odds with those who rule our world. If ever I become a media darling than I will seriously question what the hell I am doing.

For those capable of independent critical thinking, those who know the value of getting straight to the source; I stand by every live interview I have ever done. The list that follows is mostly my words exactly (live interviews or my written words) and that is generally the only way I will do anything with major corporate media.

The bottom line is that I use the media as the media has used me, only I use them to propagate the truth whereas corporate media are in reality the 'Prostitutes of Propaganda' who sell their souls and our world down the river for money. Some of these people are the lowest of the low; they kiss ass like nothing else when they want something from you and when they are done they toss people into the rubbish. I have always known this and have never been charmed by their lies; I know their game and I have never kissed any of their asses, nor will I; I will instead continue to use them to the best of my ability in the interest of effecting Truth Justice & Peace.
