The Syrian government daily Teshreen marked the seventh anniversary of 9/11 this week in a unique fashion: by publishing an article by Syria's former information minister blaming US intelligence agencies for the attacks.

According to Mahdi Dakhlallah, in a piece that appeared Wednesday, the intelligence agencies were behind the September 11, 2001 attacks to provide a pretext for a preplanned US plan to invade Iraq and Afghanistan.

"These plans were ready and prepared [in advance] - and all that was needed was to find a pretext to begin their immediate implementation," wrote Dakhlallah, in a piece of which excerpts were translated by MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute.

Betsy Metz has become friendly with Rob Kall, and he asked her to be on with Dr. Griffin. She couldn't because she is in NY for the anniversary, so she recommended that I join Rob and Dr. Griffin.

For many surviving relatives of 9/11 victims, Ground Zero is no longer the place to find a link to the lost.

This year, with both presidential candidates planning to appear today, the sense of disconnect is even greater.

"We don't want to be there with the crowds and the politicians," says Don Robertson of South Orange. He and his wife, Marcee, lost their son, Donald Jr.

"We are really set against having McCain and Obama there. Even if they don't say a word, it's still political. They'll be seen."

Based on what I know, this sounds legitimate. - Jon

WASHINGTON, Sept 08, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Palo Alto Publishing will hold a press conference on September 11, 2008, at 9 AM at the National Press Club at 529 14th St. NW, Washington D.C., to detail new information revealed since the release of the 9/11 Commission Report. Entirely sourced from government reports, court documents, and the account of FBI Agent Ali Soufan, this analysis, never before fully detailed, shows that CIA officers, working through liaisons at FBI Headquarters, had repeatedly and criminally obstructed investigations that could have prevented the attacks on 9/11.

After watching this disgraceful exploitation of the 9/11 attacks, I decided to write this, and now make this little film.

Congratulations to the Regenhard family. - Jon

John Jay College of Criminal Justice on Thursday announced the opening of the Christian Regenhard Center for Emergency Response Studies. The center is named for a 28-year-old probationary firefighter who died on 9/11. Mr. Regenhard, the son of a retired police detective and a graduate of the Bronx High School of Science, went to college in San Francisco for a year before enlisting in the Marines and, eventually, joining the Fire Department. He was assigned to Ladder Company 131 in Red Hook, Brooklyn. His mother, Sally, has become a well-known advocate for improved emergency communications and construction codes.

One of the things that drives me to do what I do is anger. Deep, burning in my gut, anger.

Anger that stems from the fact that our 9/11 heroes, those people we saw on the television sets fighting the good fight, trying to save our fellow Americans, those people that motivated us to go out and buy FDNY, and NYPD hats, those people that we saw attend the many funerals for their brothers and sisters lost that day, were lied to about the air quality down at Ground Zero, and then ignored by local, and federal Governments when they began to become sick and die.

The truth movement owes much to those who lost family members on 9/11/01. Without them, our quest for truth and accountability regarding the 9/11 attacks would certainly not have gotten as far as it has. They have exposed corruption while touching the hearts of many.

We are honored to have Bob McIlvaine, father of Robert McIlvaine, and Michele Little, sister of fallen firefighter David Weiss. Our panelists will be Jon Gold and Janice Mathews. Note the many actions listed below by courageous family members.

Please email your questions to paul@911truth.org ASAP, as listeners will be muted. This call is open to all activist organizers--please invite leaders and members of other activist groups, in addition to your own group members, to be on the call.

This phone interview will be accessible for everyone to hear through the call-in number above, and will be broadcast live by http://NoLiesRadio.org.

New York City, New York (JusticeNewsFlash.com – News report) – In the wake of the events of September 11, 2001, citizens of New York bonded together and formed huge volunteer cleanup efforts for their beloved city. One dedicated volunteer was a former state correction officer – 54 year-old - Gregory Quibell of North Babylon, Long Island. Quibell devoted 242 hours at the Ground Zero site between September 12 and November 22, 2001, according to state Correction Department records. After the inhumane terror attacks, Quibell worked night and day to shuttle firefighters to and from the World Trade Center, not knowing that toxins in the air continually contaminated his lungs. He was soon diagnosed with leukemia and pulmonary fibrosis and sadly passed away.

They're going across the country in hopes of tracking down what they say is the real story behind the 9/11 attacks.

About 10 members of the so-called Vancouver 9/11 Truth Society rolled into Winnipeg yesterday on a small bus while en route from the West Coast to Ottawa to try to push Canadian authorities to launch a new, independent probe of the World Trade Center catastrophe.

"There's a need for another look at the whole attack," Michael Welch, a Winnipeg resident assisting the Vancouver group, said while pointing to a U.S. commission that investigated the fall of the Twin Towers.

"There are so many holes in the official story. And the official commission is so riddled with fraud, cover-up and conflict of interest that there is no way that responsible people should accept it."

He and his West Coast colleagues "suspect that 9/11 was facilitated, if not orchestrated, by elements within the U.S. government military -- to put it succinctly, an inside job."

Something I wrote 6/21/2006 - Jon.

Remembering The "Lessons Of September The 11th"

President Bush seems to think that we have a poor memory. He seems to think that we're just not that bright.

We've got news for you President Bush. The "Lessons Of September The 11th" will be something we will NEVER forget.

Since 9/11, we have learned about things like what an "Anthrax Attack" is.

We've learned about organizations like "The Project For The New American Century", and the "Aspen Strategy Group".

We've learned that our media isn't interested in the truth.

He's probably referring to the 9/11 Commission's "recommendations." - Jon

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION: Tom Kean disappointed neither convention addressed 9/11

Former Gov. Tom Kean, best known outside the state as chairman of the 9-11 Commission, says he is disappointed that neither party's convention devoted time to the work of his panel.

"But I'm not surprised,'' says Kean. "We're very easily distracted. This is an issue that has gone off the radar.''

He says he has not been asked to speak about the 9-11 commission at Republican any convention or caucus, including New Jersey's. When Bill Baroni, the delegation chairman, introduced Kean, he did mention the commission-- but Kean himself didn't.

In an interview, Kean said he is working with 9-11 family groups to form an organization that will present the new president with "the unfinished business" of the commission.

WASHINGTON—Busy dealing with important paperwork and other vice presidential duties in recent weeks, Dick Cheney was forced to put off until the last minute a cherished annual tradition: gift-shopping for his favorite holiday, 9/11.

"I looked at the calendar yesterday, and I couldn't believe my eyes—9/11 is almost here!" a rosy-cheeked Cheney said upon returning to the White House Sunday with two giant bags overflowing with gift-wrapped boxes and big red bows. "It's the most wonderful time of the year."

The vice president strolls happily down New York's Park Avenue, picking up the last few 9/11 presents for his friends at the Pentagon.
