Blogger Brigade
Somebigguy Thu, 02/16/2006 - 4:00am
Sounds like a really bad song by Def Leppard, but also sounds like a really good idea for us. If we organize ourselves properly, we can effectively blanket the Internet with 9/11 news the minute it comes out. Email Jon if you would like to participate...
Les and I were talking about a "Rapid Response Blogger Brigade" which would consist of people willing to take responsibility for certain non 9/11 related websites. Sites that get A LOT of traffic that come equipped with the ability to post. These people will belong to a mailing list that will receive news to post. Once they receive the news, they will go to their assigned sites, and post it.
Any volunteers?

I'm with you on dkos. I
I'm with you on dkos. I just sent Jon this:
"The great thing about dailykos is that you can write your own "diary", and if it is recommended enough, it can get on the "Recommended List", which then reaches a lot of people. The rating system works like this: the sooner you click "recommend" on someone's diary after it is posted, the more weight it carries. What we could do is get a post together, and then email our list of "Rapid Response Bloggers" at what time we're going to post it at, so then everyone can recommend it right at the beginning, and hopefully push it to the front page. What's all great about this is that there are actually a lot of people at dailykos that don't believe the official story, but get out numbered and beat up on, so they've stopped posting stories."
Very true Ian.

If we plan to work Dkos,
If we plan to work Dkos, users should create their accounts ASAP.
You can't post comments for 24 hours.
You can't post diaries for 1 week.
So register now!
Jon, this is an excellent
Jon, this is an excellent idea, perfect way to get the word out.
Before I sign up, I have a few questions:
From my understanding, all that I would be required to do is copy the news from the mailing list emails and paste it in my pre assigned blogger?
Would this be someone elses blogger, and I post in the comments section? Or is the blogger actually mine?
Would I need to expose my email address?
Would I be required to monitor any replies?

peace,pw
ps I just started today a run for Representative to Congress from Florida District 19.
i will need to get about 4000 "canaditate petition" signatures to qualify to get my name on the ballot.....my platform is all about 9-11 and impeaching Bush/PNAC adminstration.
davidcorn.com has open
davidcorn.com has open threads, immediate and unedited posting, and he told me that his blog gets at least 10k hits per day. he refuses to post about 911 but he has not prevented anyone from doing so in the comments.
why dont we also start
why dont we also start chain-emailing friends, families, and other people and ask them to forward the email to people.. It can include a non-intrusive curiosity-type statement, with a few links for further information if they care to learn more, then stress that is it important that they at least give a few moments of their time to look into it. Maybe put 5 important points in the message to get their attention (like no criminal investigation, inadequate findings by 9/11 commission reports, etc...)
I'm down for the RRBB too, I will email you with a gmail account I create specifically for this.
Again, I say we need
Again, I say we need "TheTruth.com"(vigorous anti smoking commercials) to ait online, tv, etc. If I was in New York Id get together with some activists, props, and soem digital cameras and make a series of guerrilal sketches in the vein of those "Truth" commericlas, but called 9/11 Truth. Have a sketch where a young kid is in the middle of wallstreet with a bullhorn detailing how the US funded Osama and al Qaida, Operation Northwoods details, or had foreknowlege. Walk into the lobby of Halliburton or JP Morgan handing out 9/11 truth info.
The problem here is the 9/11 Truth movement needs to get into mainstream appeal, be it through comedy or youth oriented sites. If ya just hammer people with sneak attack forum posts about "OMG REMOTE CONTROL PLANES AND PODS!" you're gonna make people say to themselves 'what a bunch of whackjobs'. I think the fighter jet standdowns, asking who stood to gain, direct governmental foreknowlege, PNAC, Able Danger, and terror funding is a good place to start. Simply ask people if they think the government is telling the whoel truth about 9/11, and point out mainstream articles that refute the official story.
The idea has potential. But
The idea has potential. But if it's going to be used to promulgate OK-to-blame-Muslims-for-9/11 "Able Danger" disinfo, it has the potential to help the perpetrators more than the truth.
Here are our top-5 favorite most powerful 9/11 lie unraveling points. (You may notice that the very divisive dogmatic self-proclaimed leaders of the 911 truth movement suppress the 2nd and last ones, same as the lying U.S. government.)
For the most part, 911blimp.net will probably continue focusing on these rather than risk diluting them with whatever the story du jour might be. Remember, it only takes one contradictory example to disprove a theory (if just 1 apple ever fell up, Newton would have needed a very different theory of gravity), which is why I think that it is so important to keep the focus on the government's theory of 9/11 (moreso than trying to advance our own), and to make sure people know that it is just that -- an unproven conspiracy theory which is contradicted in more than enough way(s) to disprove it. It does seem, however, that most people need to be reminded that they shouldn't require a superior theory before relinquishing their grip on an impossible one.

Why not lose the flash of the plane and instead go with something like the lack of criminal investigation and the buildings being shipped off to landfills and foreign countries...
Also, the gif at the bottom of the pentagon frames should be animated to show all the frames, and a bit larger.

Definitely! Plane crash & crime scence evidence must be handled with great care and preserved! Not hastily dumped or shipped to China!

I have to set up the mailing list, etc... It's gonna take a little while... hopefully by this weekend everything will be ready to go. I've already received at least 10 responses that I know of... it's gonna happen...
Hey Jon. I don't know what
Hey Jon. I don't know what you're setting up besides the "mailing list", but I thought a "rapid response" blog would be good, where we posted the newest "action" items. this might help increase the amount of people involved.
unless you want to keep it more "black-ops", which makes sense too. just a thought.
I'm SO excited... this is
