As the brainchild behind the 9/11 March for Truth scheduled in New York City on President’s Day (this upcoming Monday, February 20) one gets the distinct impression that Greg Nixon is a man on one colossal mission.

And that mission, in a nutshell? To expose the fact that there is no real “war on terror” other than the one, according to Nixon, that was planned and executed by the Bush administration on September 11 in order to justify military invasions into Afghanistan and Iraq. To paraphrase the organizer of NYC’s upcoming March for 9/11 Truth, “The terrorists didn’t attack us.” It is for this reason, Nixon says, that people have “to understand the depth of the treason and the lies we were told. This is an outrage and these people must be removed from power.”

Abledangerblog.com has posted the transcript from today's testimony by Anthony Shaffer as well as the audio download.

You can find the transcript here, and a link to listen to the testimony here.

And here is a quote they picked out from the transcript:

DIA has admitted to House Armed Services Committee (HASC) on 8 September 2005 that my ABLE DANGER documents had been destroyed in 2004; there was no U.S. person information in these documents, and they relate to what we now have identified as a major, relevant operation regarding 9-11. Why were these documents destroyed? Why is it that these documents, many that were Top Secret collateral information, not properly accounted for when they were destroyed? I am hopeful that the current DoD IG investigation of DIA's use of frivolous issues to attempt to discredit me and terminate my access to classified information at the cost to the U.S. taxpayer upwards of $2 million will be held accountable - and their purposeful destruction of my set of ABLE DANGER documents will result in their criminal prosecution for illegal destruction of documents.

Debunking Conspiracy Theorists - Paranoid Fantasies About 9-11 Detract From Real Issues
(hat tip to Gold)

Astute observers of history are aware that for every notable event there will usually be at least one, often several, wild conspiracy theories which spring up around it. "The CIA killed Hendrix", "The Pope had John Lennon murdered ", "Hitler was half Werewolf", "Space aliens replaced Nixon with a clone", etc, etc. The bigger the event, the more ridiculous and more numerous are the fanciful rantings which circulate in relation to it.

Another grab bag? Yes!

Weldon press conference transcript
(hat tip to communitycurrency.org)

I've learned some additional things that are new. You saw the Arlen Specter hearing in Judiciary that occurred in September. It's very troubling to me that it appears as though the DOD witness did not tell the truth. We had testimony that all of the Able Danger data-mining material was destroyed. I now know that that's not the case. In fact, I now know there's data still available. And I am in contact with people who are still able to data mining runs on pre-9/11 data. In those data runs that are now being done today, in spite of what DOD said, I have 13 hits on Mohammed Atta, spelled Mu and Mo. Not Mohammed Attif, not Mohammed Attel; Mohammed Atta. Thirteen times we have hits in the data that's still available, that we were told was destroyed. That was pre-9/11 data, where Mohammed Atta's name was spelled two different ways, but it was Mohammed Atta.
