I just ran across this quote from famed whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg:

It is a commonplace that 'you can't keep secrets in Washington' or 'in a democracy, no matter how sensitive the secret, you're likely to read it the next day in the New York Times.' These truisms are flatly false. They are in fact cover stories, ways of flattering and misleading journalists and their readers, part of the process of keeping secrets well. Of course eventually many secrets do get out that wouldn't in a fully totalitarian society. But the fact is that the overwhelming majority of secrets do not leak to the American public. This is true even when the information withheld is well known to an enemy and when it is clearly essential to the functioning of the congressional war power and to any democratic control of foreign policy. The reality unknown to the public and to most members of Congress and the press is that secrets that would be of the greatest import to many of them can be kept from them reliably for decades by the executive branch, even though they are known to thousands of insiders.

There's NEVER Been A Real 9/11 Investigation

A quick look at the government's investigations into 9/11 reveals that -- not only has there never been a real investigation -- but the behavior of government representatives in willfully obstructing all attempts at investigation comprises evidence of guilt. Specifically, in all criminal trials, evasiveness, obstruction, and destruction of evidence all constitute strong circumstantial evidence that the accused is guilty or, at the very least, not to be believed. 9/11 is no different.

For example, the former director of the FBI says there was a cover up by the 9/11 Commission. http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/11/17/122900.shtml

And the 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials lied to the Commission, and considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements, yet didn't bother to tell the American people. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/01/AR2006080101300.html?sub=new (free subscription required).

Indeed, the co-chairs of the Commission now admit that the Commission largely operated based upon political considerations. http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/n/a/2006/08/04/national/w124141D43.DTL&type=printable

9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says "I don't believe for a minute we got everything right", that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, that the 9/11 debate should continue, and that the 9/11 Commission report was only "the first draft" of history. http://www.911podcasts.com/files/video/CBCSunday_20060910.wmv

9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that "There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn't have access . . . ." http://salon.com/ent/feature/2006/06/27/911_conspiracies/index4.html

And former 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: "It is a national scandal" (http://dir.salon.com/story/news/feature/2003/11/21/cleland/index.html?pn=1); "This investigation is now compromised" (http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2003/11/13/911_panel_to_get_access_to_withheld_data/); and "One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up" (http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=04/03/23/1546256).

The Chinese word for "crisis" is a combination of the words "danger" and "opportunity".

We are certainly in a very dangerous time. The folks who brought us Afghanistan and Iraq are now set to launch a war against Iran.

The Congress-critters are spineless jellyfish. Indeed, Hillary Clinton and other "leading" democrats have made noises in support of attacking Iran. The mainstream media is still horrible, and won't cover false flag attacks, the most important facts about 9/11, or the most credible spokespeople for the 9/11 truth movement.

Given that the neocons hell-bent on war are not listening to the people -- even though we've sent millions of letters and emails and written devastating critiques on websites and in editorials -- things are pretty bleak.

Opportunity

But, this crisis is also an unparalleled opportunity. Never before have so many understood the world's secret history of false flag attacks. Never before has there been an opportunity to peel back the lid on 2,000 years or so of hidden facts, to destroy the false myths created by the warmongers, and to create something new.

Dylan Avery posted the following letter which he and Mark of "Screw Loose Change" received. Well worth the read.

I don't know what to say, I'm not sure where I stand, and I don't know what to think anymore... not about 9/11, but society in general.

I was a NJ EMT for 6 years. I was in NY at the WTC before, during, and after the collapse. I ran from the falling towers. I hid behind a plexi-glass bus stop panel, as if that would have helped me if anything large came hurtling in that direction. My lungs are full of dust and I can barely breathe without holding back a cough and the ever-present faint taste of blood in the back of my throat. I wake up gasping for air. Those towers fell, and I was there. I don't know why the "official story" of what happened isn't questioned more than it is. Nobody listens to the people who KNOW. The 9/11 commission was made up of puppeteers, and the tesimony was given by the puppets. It's so obvious. It was a failure. If the things I, and hundreds of other people saw, felt, and heard didn't make it into that attrocious failure called the 9/11 Commission Report, then there is no other con clusion than accepting the fact that the whole thing was a whitewash.

Mark... listen to me. There were explosions. There were flashes. There was molten metal running down the I-beams of the basement levels like lava flows. I've never seen anything like it. Yes, planes hit the buildings- anybody who says otherwise is a moron. But the explosions- the rapid, symmetrical, sequential explosions- they happened. We were in the basement, helping a man who had been struck by pieces of flying concrete and rebar, and there was one of the huge steel and concrete support pillars with an 8 foot section blown out of the center of it. We looked around and there were other support columns that were the same. We spoke about it right then and there... we were discussing as we were carrying this man, saying "how could someone have rigged all these explosives?". That sort of thing does not happen from an airplane hitting the building 70, 80 stories up. We stood outside listening to the explosions. One after the other, every minute or so. At one point, about 10 minutes before the first collapse, a 30 foot or so section of the courtyard exlploded straight up into the air. Just before the collapses, a series of deep, below ground explosions, then numerous explosions in the buildings upper floors. Then we ran. We felt the same deep explosions before the second collapse. This was not just the planes. THE BUILDINGS WERE RIGGED. There is no question about it. Hundreds of people know this, Mark. People were told, the crowds of people were TOLD over bullhorns, that building 7 was going to be pulled (and YES that is the term they used). There was a 20 second countdown over the radios, there were bright flashes up and down the sides of building 7, you could see them through the windows...and it collapsed. We all knew it was intentionally pulled... they told us! There was no question about it until a day or so later when the news was reporting that it had collapsed due to fire. We kept wondering when they were going to correct the news reports. Eventually, it became "official story".

(more after the break..)

Just in case you don't understand how these folks think, let me lay out how I see things.

The Senate is about to get a report showing that a cabal within the Pentagon, known as the "Office of Special Plans", slanted the intelligence and made up fake stuff to justify the Iraq war.

The Libby trial is pointing towards Bush and Cheney as the source of the leaks which outed CIA cover agent Valerie Plame.

Bush's popularity is in free-fall

So how are these folks going to save themselves? What are they going to do?

Are they going to correct their ways, change their decision-makers, and start acting better?

Uh . . . no.

They're going to get us into war with Iran.

I know alot of people in the 9/11 truth movement, since I've been involved in the struggle for several years and have worked with alot of good folks.

It seems that those who are doing the best work, having the biggest effect in educating people to the fact that 9/11 was an inside job, and are best moving the ball downfield towards bringing the perpetrators of 9/11 to justice are largely motivated by -- ugh, I know you don't want to hear this -- love.

Love Is Weak

What?! you ask. This is about murder and treason and false flags and deceit and punishment. How can you talk about such a frilly and irrelevant concept as love? We need more FIRE in our bellies. We need to get PUMPED UP. A little HATE is good!

Well, that hasn't been my experience. My experience is that those who are least effective and who are most disrupting the 9/11 truth movement are driven by hatred.

Contrary to what you might believe, love STRENGTHENS you and INCREASES your ability to kick some serious tail. Don't believe me?

Another great poster from David Dees:

Alex Jones and PrisonPlanet say there are HUGE celebrities -- including "major top bracket hip-hop superstars and vocalists/guitarists whose hits span back decades" -- who know 9/11 was an inside job, but are afraid to come forward out of fear that it will wreck their career.

Here's the plan.

There are millions of 9/11 truthers. Let's all pledge to buy at least 1 record of each star that comes out publicly for 9/11 truth. I'm starting right now. I pledge to buy 2 albums of any star who comes out for the truth, even if I don't like that star or his or her style of music.

Given that there are millions of us, and given that Alex Jones points out that celebrities can give a HUGE boost to 9/11 truth by reaching people who would never be reached by a scientist or former military official who has spoken out for 9/11 truth, this is important, people.

Given that anyone who is paying attention knows that the U.S. and/or Israel will carry out a false flag attack and blame it on Iran in order to justify an invasion, how about putting the phrase "IT WASN'T IRAN" on bumper stickers, freeway blogs, etc.? Then someone could put up a website, ItWasntIran.com, that explains the basics of false flags, Ron Paul and Zbig's warnings about a false flag being used to justify the Iran invasion, and explaining why Iran wouldn't attack us?

If enough people get this up and off the ground right away, could it help spill the beans enough that the neocons will think twice about doing it?

Good idea or bad idea? Who's got a better idea?

At the very least, for goodness sake, please put Ron Paul and Zbig's quotes on stickers, freeway blogs, etc.

Remember, biographers have uncovered the fact that Richard Nixon wanted to use nuclear weapons in Vietnam. What stopped him? He turned on his tv and saw hundreds of thousands of anti-war protesters. This stopped Nixon even though he said he didn't care what people thought.

You never know what an aroused citizenry can do.

This is a great post from Jesse of TVNewsLies, one of my favorite writers on the web:

It would make so much more sense if the millions of people who have been screaming about impeaching George W. Bush finally examined the most impeachable offenses of his administration: the events of September 11th, 2001. Whether you choose to ignore the evidence by believing the official explanation of the events, or you have actually looked at the evidence and realize that the more realistic conclusion is that the Bush administration delivered those events to us, impeachment, imprisonment and possible execution are in order!

Another 9/11 parody take-off on the O.J. book. This was posted on Bartcop, which I had thought was a left gatekeeper site.

If you're working for the government or one of its subcontractors to debunk the claim that the government had a hand in 9/11, you are probably young and a winner (If you're a gray-hair, you should read this also).

The "agency" doesn't hire losers. They look for promising young people with proven leadership, scholastic, interpersonal or technical skills. You don't just slouch your way into these kind of jobs. You've already proven yourself to be eager, talented, with alot of promise and potential.

Right?

If you're working to take the wind out of the "9/11 Truth Movement", you also must believe one of the following three things:

(1) That it is not true that the U.S. government had a hand in 9/11, and that that's a very dangerous myth

(2) That it might be true, but that "the ends justify the means", as described below

or

(3) That its all about money and excitement, so who cares?

Okay, you've got to admit that you fall into one of these 3 categories, right?

No Way

I'm not sure who "MO Paul" is, the guy who created this graphic. I found it at Bartcop.com
