I realize the "content" is not new to anyone here, but I did find Alternet's choice of wording interesting.
Do I detect a note of acceptance?

I ways this is relavent to the TOTAL TRUTH movement.Before the events of 9/11 i was amazed at the cover-up
of the death of JFK.This is how i stumbled across the 9/11 FACTS.
Appauled at every sentence i read.Angered at how crooked our great country has become,it pushed me
further to find out how,and why?
Vote? You have to be kidding me! I think ill stay at home and call the Rockefellers or Rothschilds and find out who will win.
The Big PROBLEM starts with the elite,and the Federal Reserve.It seems they've been screwing the american people since 1913,and before.
I just would like to let you truthers know how messed up they system is ,and why.
Find ,and watch the movie The Money Masters.Another good one is The truth about the federal reserve on Google video.
This ,put's it into perspective! What an eye opener!

I am fairly new at this, but the whole "official" story sounds fishy to me and the more I read and listen, the mor fishy it
sounds.

To this day, I don't know exactly why, but the moment I saw the second plane strike the South Tower, I asked myself,"
Where is Bush in all of this".About three years on I start reading extensivley and my "fishy smell" alarm starts to go
into overdrive. First I find out that several of the alleged suicide pilots flucnked flight training. Then, allegedly six or seven
of the hijackers show up ALIVE. Then there's the problem of the 9/11 cellphone calls: it would seem that, at the time of
9/11, cellphone calls could not be made above about 8,000 feet. So, did the callers somehow miraculously override the
laws of physics?

Later, videos of Bin Laden are broadcast and the Bin Laden shown is different each time!

This thing has holes I could drive a 767 though!

Maybe this is not even worth the effort. It's hard for me to assess that since, as someone who is nowhere near Washington, D.C., this post will be the extent of my effort. Still, I will lay it out there for anyone interested.

Following this introduction are two emails. The first one I received from Gold Star Families for Peace, an organization co-founded by Cindy Sheehan, about a sit-in they are planning to hold at the White House on November 7th and 8th. It's the usual "We want our country back", "Bring the troops home" stuff, not that that isn't important. But what's missing is 9/11 awareness. A couple of months ago, one of the organizations affiliated with Cindy Sheehan banned Veterans for 9/11 Truth from participating in "Camp Democracy," which is not very encouraging. They are now planning a non-permitted event at the White House. I say we join 'em and spread some truth. Of course, by "we" I mean other people who are nearby and can actually attend. Following the announcement is my email reply to Cindy and GSFP, which I Cc'd to v911t and dc911t.

I'd love to see a picture of someone handing a 9/11 DVD to Cindy Sheehan.

With a smug stroke of his pen, President Bush is set to wipe out a safeguard against illegal imprisonment that has endured as a cornerstone of legal justice since the Magna Carta.

09/29/06 "TruthDig" -- -- AUSTIN, Texas—Oh dear. I’m sure he didn’t mean it. In Illinois’ Sixth Congressional District, long represented by Henry Hyde, Republican candidate Peter Roskam accused his Democratic opponent, Tammy Duckworth, of planning to “cut and run” on Iraq.

Duckworth is a former Army major and chopper pilot who lost both legs in Iraq after her helicopter got hit by an RPG. “I just could not believe he would say that to me,” said Duckworth, who walks on artificial legs and uses a cane. Every election cycle produces some wincers, but how do you apologize for that one?

The legislative equivalent of that remark is the detainee bill now being passed by Congress. Beloveds, this is so much worse than even that pathetic deal reached last Thursday between the White House and Republican Sens. John Warner, John McCain and Lindsey Graham. The White House has since reinserted a number of “technical fixes” that were the point of the putative “compromise.” It leaves the president with the power to decide who is an enemy combatant.

It appears Wednesday's episode of South Park will deal with 9/11. My guess is, they will ridicule 9/11 Truth.

South+Park+Episode+Guide

Original air Date: 2006-10-11
The world’s biggest conspiracy of all time will finally be uncovered when Eric Cartman exposes the true culprit behind the September 11th attacks. An attempted assassination in South Park means no one is safe from the people who are the real brains behind the 9/11 conspiracy. When Kyle and Stan hit the road in search of the truth, they come face-to-face with the masterminds who pulled off the most elaborate, intricate and flawlessly executed operation in American history.

(This may seem off topic, but stigmatizing Muslims generally, and perpetuating that stigmatization is indeed a cultural phenomenon that ebbs and flows in the wake of 9/11. -r.)

The Muslim Problem

by Nafeez Ahmed

Saturday, October 07, 2006

Muslims, it seems, are a problem. No, I should rephrase that. Muslims, it seems, are perhaps the problem of our times. Or at least one might be forgiven for believing that after the last few weeks and months. We've just had Jack Straw, the Leader of the House of Commons, and former Foreign and Home Secretary, tell us that Muslim women who cover the face with a veil or niqab make community relations "more difficult." And this is because, he says, concealing the face is "a visible statement of separation and difference."

So what is Straw saying? He's not just saying that he finds it "uncomfortable" to talk to a Muslim woman whose face he can't see. He's saying that the fact that some Muslim women choose to cover their face is a direct cause of communal tension, and a confirmation from Muslim women themselves that they indeed are different, and do not wish to engage in society.

Straw later went on to elaborate that he'd rather those Muslim women who wear the veil simply don't do so at all.

Straw's little outburst comes hot on the heels of a series of remarks, observations and political maneuverings consistently pointing at the various problems that Muslim pose to British, and western, society. In August, we had the 'liquid bomb' plot which both former and active military and intelligence experts have found to be either impossible or barely existing.

HBO documentary follows Daniel Pearl's path to death

SPECIAL TO THE BLADE
10/9/2006

Tomorrow would have been Daniel Pearl's 43rd birthday. But now the day marks the premiere of a documentary on HBO that looks at the life and grisly death of the Wall Street Journal reporter who was kidnapped and beheaded by Islamic militants in Pakistan four years ago.

The Journalist and the Jihadi: The Murder of Daniel Pearl follows the oddly parallel paths of Pearl and the man who orchestrated his kidnapping, Omar Sheikh, a Londoner of Pakistani descent. After 9/11, the men's paths intersected in Pakistan in early 2002, with tragic consequences for the American reporter.

Among the similarities noted in the film is that both Pearl and Sheikh came from privileged backgrounds, were well-educated, and were idealists in their own ways. And both hoped to change the world, but in very different ways.

The 80-minute film was produced by filmmakers Ahmed A. Jamal of Pakistan and Ramesh Sharma of India, and its narrator is CNN's Christiane Amanpour, a friend of Pearl. The filmmakers were able to gain access to many of the key figures in the reporter's kidnapping and murder, including Pakistani police and intelligence officials as well as Islamic leaders with ties to extreme religious groups, including the Taliban.

Please do not post blog entries which are not related to 9/11, and I don't mean 7 degrees of seperation either.

If it isn't related to 9/11 directly then please don't post it, it just serves to flood out the other blog entries which are. Non-9/11 related blog entries will be unpublished.

The Shadow Government

Copyright © 1994 Constitution Society. Permission is hereby granted to copy for noncommercial use.

Secret Rule

It is becoming increasingly apparent to American citizens that government is no longer being conducted in accordance with the U.S. Constitution, or, within states, according to state constitutions. While people have recognized for more than 150 years that the rich and powerful often corrupt individual officials, or exert undue influence to get legislation passed that favors their interests, most Americans still cling to the naive belief that such corruption is exceptional, and that most of the institutions of society, the courts, the press, and law enforcement agencies, still largely comply with the Constitution and the law in important matters. They expect that these corrupting forces are disunited and in competition with one another, so that they tend to balance one another.

Mounting evidence makes it clear that the situation is far worse than most people think, that during the last several decades the U.S. Constitution has been effectively overthrown, and that it is now observed only as a façade to deceive and placate the masses. What has replaced it is what many call the Shadow Government. It still, for the most part, operates in secret, because its control is not secure. The exposure of this regime and its operations must now become a primary duty of citizens who still believe in the Rule of Law and in the freedoms which this country is supposed to represent.<1>

New Revelations about Ali Mohamed

October 8, 2006

The following text is an expanded version of Peter Dale Scott's Talk at Berkeley, September 24, 2006, entitled "9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out.”

I want to talk tonight about using the 9/11 Report as evidence – evidence of what is being suppressed. We can use it in this way because some parts of the Report are accurate and reliable. This base line of reliability helps define other parts of the Report which are misleading, and in a few places I believe dead wrong. These relevant omissions and deceptions should be taken as clues as to what is being suppressed, and where the hidden truth lies.

I shall talk of the Report’s occasional resistance to the truth. Let me give an easy and incontrovertible analogy from the Warren Report. The Warren Report got many things right; but it also minimized the links between Jack Ruby and organized crime.1 This resistance was a clue that Ruby in fact was crime-related and that this was important. The House Select Committee on Assassinations, even though they got many things wrong, amply confirmed the importance of Ruby’s crime links.

Wow, thanks to everyone for the positive feedback on my last blog post. I'm writing now to report back from today's 9/11 Truth work in Harvard Square. Today the square was packed for the annual Oktoberfest street fair so literally thousands of ppeople walked by my display. Now, you all know how it is by now--people stop and read. I had my usual posterboard full of info and free buttons (RT recently acquired a real button making machine and has been cranking out various truthy buttons!) I know I always say this but I feel I have to because I know how important morale is for our movement--we are winning over people in droves. I also frequently point out the diversity of the folks who stop to learn about the issue--you can add middle-aged republican women to the list. In addition to holding up my (now two-sided) sign on a pole I also played the last three talks(the second CD) of the 5th anniversary speeches including Donna Marsh and William Rodriguez. These are important voices and people are just now hearing them through the mass media noise machine. They are learning the truth. They are not becoming quivering masses of jelly as a result, they are responding with serious concern and yes, gratitude for the work we truthers have been doing on our own dimes.

Statement by the President in His Address to the Nation

Source: whitehouse.gov

8:30 P.M. EDT

THE PRESIDENT: Good evening. Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes, or in their offices; secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers; moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.

The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed; our country is strong.

A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.

America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.

a flying object hit the WTC North Tower (Wtc1)

According to the airline BTS database Flight 11 never flew on 9/11.
http://www.osamawasframed.com/flight11.html << Very interesting!!!

The plane designated flight 11 when airborne took off from Gate 32, wheels off 8:00am
Flight 11 passengers were seen boarding a plane from Gate 26, wheels off @ 8:10am

WHAT THE @!#$%^& !!!!

you mean they don't know?

Has any of you truthers phoned up and asked?

GOOD SUMMARY
THIEVES stole Flight 11

On september 13th i decided to finally wake up and open my eyes, and investigate what is really going on with the whole 9/11 thing. So in my reasearch i decided that it would be in the best interest of the people if i started a truther site. This truther site is www.wtcreality.org . I then created a forum right after i bought the domain name, and got hosting for it from www.jvs-hosting.com. It's simply amazing, the feedback i've recieved on the site was great, the number of visitors started to rise dramatically as if all of the sudden it was the next best thing to sliced bread. members started to join the fourm, and actively post, things were GREAT! I knew we were onto something good for the people.

Here we are almost 1 month later from the conception of this www.wtcreality.org site, and things aren't as good as they started to be. Noone hardly joins the forum no more, and the people that already joined dont even actively post, infact most of the posting is done by ME. This is sad, how do people expect to get the word out, how do they expect to be heard if they fail to be active. All i ask is that people join the forum and the site, and post information, news, questions, answers, ect.

The Roman Candle collapse complete with side bursts. Just why in the hell would the Iranians need a nookular weapon anyhow? Just take an old aluminium tube, fill it with 10,000 ltrs of kerosene and boom....There goes Manhattan!!

Donahue doesn't let Pinhead O'Reilly push him around

I went to see the Oliver Stone film yesterday, which has just been released here in Britain. I knew it wasnt
going to be conspiratorial which is a disappointment, although I think stone put some subtle clues in there for
people, not least the collapse of building 7.

What was very surprising though was the reaction of the audience who kept shouting things at the screen
such as "down with George Bush" and "propaganda". A lot of these were young guys and I think a lot
of credit for that should go to Loose Change. Its a flawed film but its getting to the masses and most
importantly the youth.

Young people here have been apathetic to politics since Thatcher left office but this seems to have ignited
something in them. About time, For the first time I actually think we are going to win this.

As Rumsfeld announced on 10-11-2001.Transactions worth 2.3 trillion dollars were 'lost'.
Why isnt this a bigger topic?
I hardly hear anyone talk about this, except for Jim Fetzer , recently in that Fox interview.
What was that again, the people who died at the pentagon were 90% accountants?
2.3 trillion, thats a 'pile' of 100us$ notes from berlin to madrid. 2'300 kilometers of freaking 100$ notes.

There is one that that American’s love – and that’s a sensational trial. It is time, my fellow Truthers, for a 9/11 Trial. This trial should be “televised” live on the web, but also made available on Google/YouTube in daily segments.

The format of this trial will be a civilian court to present the 9/11 case against the Bush administration in public, with full disclosure. Twelve impartial jurors will be selected and present the evidence. This court can appoint a defense lawyer for each defendant (Bush, Cheney, etc) if they refuse to appoint their own.

The trial will be conducted by real (perhaps retired) judges / prosecutors that believe in the 9/11 Truth cause.

Let the world and the american public see that the 9/11 truth movement is more then just a group of website fanatics.

The time has come. Our government does not represent us any more. We have the right under the Constitution to take such measures into our own hands when the people feel that they have been betrayed. The time is now to be strong like the founders of our great nation: Jefferson, Washington, Adams, Franklin and the rest.

In the end, at least this effort will perhaps create a significant amount of buzz on the web and in the MSM.

Real Truther was on his way home from Truthing in Harvard Square when he happened upon a lively festival of leftist peace activists. Real Truther worked on antiwar stuff with a lot of these folks so it was a bit of a reunion since these folks had not been receptive to Real Truther's 9/11 outreach, no doubt in part because of their tendency to idolize the likes of Chomsky and Amy Goodman. It wasn't long before a pair of college freshmen approached RT to give hime a hard time. "You're insane" they said. "Why don't you kill yourself" they asked. You know the types.

Of course when RT asked them about molten steel, the said the fires melted it. When RT pointed out the difference of 1000 degrees between the maximum temperature of hydrocarbon based fuels and the melting point of steel, they asked about my engineering credentials, and why they should believe me on those simple facts. Again, experienced Truthers know what I'm talking about. Where is your evidence, they demanded. I then opened up my posterboard full of clippings from Painful Questions and Waking up From Our Nightmare. Photos and analysis of the explosive collapse of the towers and the implosion of building 7. They were not impressed. We don't care about your pictures. Where is your evidence they repeated.

I am Sam Lwin, an ex-Marine, a conscientious objector and an anti-war activist from the first Gulf war. I would like to say a few words about the connection between 9/11 and war.

In the fall of 1990, President George Herbert Walker Bush mobilized troops for the first Gulf War. I was a Marine reservist and a senior at the New School. Knowing that it was an oil war and finding out the various deceptions used by our government to gain support of the masses at anti-war rallies, I, as a conscientious Marine, refused to go. So did twenty-five other Marines, eight of them from here in New York City. We were all court-martialed and did time in the brig at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.

Many people supported us. They sent us letters and books to read and our prison sentences were shortened, in some cases by two years, due to public pressure through anti-war groups like Hands Off! and War Resisters League. During that time, one of the Marine resisters mentioned to me the name of Smedley Butler.

Smedley Butler was a Marine general who twice won the Congressional Medal of Honor. In 1933, he published a booklet called “War Is a Racket.” I would like to read a few sentences from it. "War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses."

Watch this video of a local Fox station about a truther running in the election. Notice how the smug
presenters avoid the underlying issue to ridicule him.

This guy is doing a great job. Please support him at www.SendMeABuck.com

The Canadian Action Party is standing up to tyranny under the guise of 'War on Terror' emanating from the fraud of the official version of 9/11, and holding Canadian politicians to account.

Two letters are included in this mail-out, One to Canadians politicians, and another to the world leaders on the issue of President Bush of the USA assuming the most egregious dictatorial powers akin to the worst of history.

1. RE: USA Detainee Torture Act, HR 6166 signed into law by President Bush, October 5th, 2006.

The Canadian Action Party demands that Canada formally condemn the new bill in the United States of America that grants the US president the right to torture, removes Habeus Corpus (a rule against arbitrary detention), defines as a terrorist anyone who questions or challenges the President or his government, removes civil trials, and otherwise purports to legalize crimes against humanity, and purports to extend into and apply in foreign jurisdictions against other nationals, as well as US citizens.

Thunderous "booms" can be heard coming from the North Tower seconds before it falls down in this recently discovered 9/11 interview with BBC correspondent Stephen Evans:

YouTube Video Link
Video Download

(I recommend wearing headphones while watching and listening to this video clip. If you do not have headphones, try turning up the volume on your computer speakers to pick up the sound of explosions and the reactions from bystanders)

While the "booms" are occurring, bystanders begin pointing and looking in the direction of the North Tower. One bystander can be heard saying "Oh my God!". A few seconds after that another explosion can be heard, and the person being interviewed, Stephen Evans, covers his ears in a fright and turns around to see the North Tower begin to fall.
