Chicago Event Open Thread
dz Tue, 06/06/2006 - 7:40am
There should be a good bit of new things coming out in relation to the recent Chicago event, so feel free to post them here in the comments, and please submit them so that we can cover them as we have time as well.
Be sure to scroll down as we have already posted a good bit today regarding the conference.
I scanned some of the comments from while we were out of town and found a lot of things which went well beyond the general rules for what we would consider good use of our comments section - please try to help keep the comments social.

PLEASE STOP DISPLAYING THE
PLEASE STOP DISPLAYING THE FLAG UPSIDE DOWN
My fellow truth activist, as you all know often times impressions carry as much or more weight than facts or meaning. Today's NY Times article illustrates my point. First the headline (which apparently wasn't written by the reporter) called the 500 of us "Conspiracy Buffs"...and pictures Tanya flying the flag upside down. I watched a man on my flight home breeze past that article, he only had enough time to read a headline and see a pictureÂ…I fear he got the wrong impression.
I have corrected several people, especially during the post 9/11 Nationalism phase, about their incorrect flag displays. Mostly this was presenting the stars on the wrong side (must be the Boy Scout in me).
Anyway, I request that you end presenting Our Flag upside down for 2 reasons:
1st, as a candidate for US Congress I will have a hard enough time presenting the 9/11 facts to some very patriotic people. When they associate me with what can be very easily mistaken as an unpatriotic act, you aren't helping any truth activist get elected.
2nd, I believe it is criminal...you justify this act by quoting United States Code Title 4 Chapter 1 8a "The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property"...neither as you protest in Downtown Chicago under police protection nor as you wave your flag in an air conditioned hotel are you in "extreme danger"...you are enjoying many of the freedoms and liberties that will still have. In fact the web site that you (www.v911t.org) link specifically states that this type of display doesnÂ’t include protesting.
Of course, anyone who wears the flag as a costume certainly is performing a criminal act. Please sir donÂ’t wear that again.
I understand your sentiment, but I would much rather spend my precious time telling people about the scientific work of Dr. Jones than getting my ass kicked by bubba, as I campaign for Congress, who thinks my kind are unpatrioticÂ…thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Please set aside some time
Please set aside some time and a beverage and spent some significant time reading Catherine Austin Fitts' long article at http://dunwalke.com.
At first glance, it appears to have nothing to do with 9/11.
After you get it into, and particularly if you heard Grove's podcast or read his transcript, you will come to understand that it has a lot to do with 9/11.
I hope the social component
I hope the social component of the Chicago gathering did not serve to mask the way the 911 truth movement has been sabotaged.
The videos relased last month of the Pentagon impact show nothing more than we knew since March 7, 2002, when we were provided with an image which reveals that it was *NOT* a 757 which hit the Pentagon. Honest 911 truthers should by now be growing rather intolerant of self-proclaimed 911 truthers who suppress/ignore this govt-lie-busting evidence.
Speaking of govt-lie-busting evidence, how about that incredible inexplicable flash-frame in the Naudet video of the 1st WTC impact? When self-proclaimed 911 truthers do not ask for any explanation from the lying government, and downplay/suppress the evidence, and marginalize those who present the evidence, you should wonder about them.
Similarly, I wonder about self-proclaimed 911 truthers (regardless of how popular or how credentialed or even how many!) who diparage/denigrate/dismiss Bush's own repeated self-implicating incriminating 9/11 witness statements. In fact, I've even posted a http://911blimp.net/$500reward.shtml
At every turn, there seems to be someone to find a way to (socially) get others to disregard some of the best govt-lie-breaking evidence. And there are plenty of fake 911 truthers who, at every turn, even as they are telling us how what's wrong with the govt's theory of 9/11, only provide a limited-hangout (ie, nothing terribly unconventional about anything) version of events themselves.

I disagree. We ARE in extreme danger when it comes out that 'only Osama can save bush'es polls.'
We all know Osama is likely dead some time ago.
As to freedoms and liberties, tell that to all those harrassed, falsely accused, imprisoned, murdered, or Thompsoned.
And -WE- are all technically terrorists according to their memos/docs. I believe we are in DIRE danger from Cheney and the corp criminal psyops gang.
Maybe talk with Matt at v911t.org and see what he says.
It isnt even the flag we should be flying in the first place. The Peacetime flag went away a long time ago (vertical stripes)

___________________________________
I understand your sentiment as well. I am sorry if I offended anyone with that display. However, you sir, earlier in the day shared with me your concerns personally and I agreed with you. Later I see that you are mentioning it again. I believe you made you thought clear as did I. I am not sure why you wish to bring my name up again. I was the one photographed but was not the only one there with the same flag.
I regret that you feel you have a tougher job on your hands getting elected now. After we respectfully discussed our thoughts on the flag display you asked me again to help you with your campaign for congress---even from long distance, and again, I said I would be happy to do what I can. I suppose after your comments here, you no longer want my help for fear it may hurt your reputation. If you had second thoughts to share you could have come to me persoanlly again. I still wish you the best, and I truly hope I did not tarnish your platform and your chances of getting elected. I hate to think that I may have hurt the movement in any fashion.
My display was not meant to offend anyone, maybe Bush & Co. but, certainly not those of us who love America; it was meant to wake people up to the fact that we are indeed a country in distress.
But as you pointed out to me in our personal conversation and now again in this public forum, it can be taken the wrong way and hurt our common goal: to gain support for the Truth Movement. So, for that reason--my real concern of offending someone and mistakingly coming accross as unamerican--I personally will not display the flag in that fashion again, at least not until the mainstream has had a chance to hear our concerns and recognizes us for what we are: truth seeking, America loving, freedom fighting patriots. Maybe once mainstream, middle America has heard our cry, our arguments, our questions, maybe that would be the more appropriate time to display the flag in that fashion so as to not be seen as unpatriotic but rather, a more informed America signaling concern for their beloved country's recognized distress.

Displaying the flag upside down, burning the flag, wearing the flag, pissing on the flag, etc... are ALL forms of free speech.
The flag has been used by ALL of our representatives to instill a sense of patriotism. Almost every single one of them wear it on their jackets. It's reminiscent of how the Nazis wore the swastika.
I think if you want to make a statement with the use of the American Flag, it is your right to do so.

Namaste2you,
I still have mixed feelings on this subject, but your "Bubba" point is very well-taken. Good luck with your campaign.
Here's a little discussion from a Gulf War I veteran on the same subject:
I understand the message and still strongly oppose your displaying of the upside down U.S.A. flag link.
It is a display of distress used by American Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, Seamen in time of war.There are also other uses for it here in the Homeland but I think it is somewhat offensive in this case. Sort of like an S.O.S. used in last resort rather than surrender.
This is only my opinion and if you were trying to get people's attention , well....it works, but I find it repulsive. It is not patriotic and I do not feel it is appropriate.You should love your flag regardless of Government as it is the Icon of our nation. We can work on fixing Government.
I need to clarify that the
I need to clarify that the above-referenced veteran is very much a 9/11 skeptic, and yes, I referred him to v911t.org.
To everyone who posts
To everyone who posts here... Nico Haupt is recording everything that's being said here. The purpose of him doing so is to use our statements against us. He just tried to drive a wedge between me, and someone else with a quote of mine.
He's a busy little beaver isn't he.
Ann Coulter just went off
Ann Coulter just went off bigtime on 9/11 widows on the Today Show. "These broads ... are millionaires." She went off on Matt Lauer and got booed. BEOTCH!

Flying the flag upside down will only turn people off to the movement. Maybe this is one thing you can learn from our corrupt leaders who wrap themselves in the flag. It is effective. Dont be counter-productive to your own movement.

I see any comment as opportunity to start a dialogue. MOST people could care less, and they will overhear the dialogue with hypothetical flag-snob and learn something.
PLUS, if anyone wants to take up the "look how unpatriotic they are" attack, we will respond as we always have--"your ignorance and blind obedience are unpatriotic."
Criminals and murderers in the White House and their enablers in Congress. if that's not dire distress, then what is? Should we wait until we're facing down the barrel of a gun? What good will that do?

yesterday on alex jones's show, a caller asked about Jon Stewart and Alex said that he's talked to his producers numerous times, and that they are fully in on the 'new world order'. He did only say that he has talked to the producers, not jon, but you'd have to think that he knows too. He said he couldn't talk anymore about his "private conversations", but said that they are trying to get as much info out as they can.

Jon,
You said you sat in on a "strategy session" or something at the chicago conference? What was discussed there?

LAUER: Do you believe
LAUER: Do you believe everything in the book or do you put some things in there just to cater to your base?
ANN: No, of course I believe everything.
LAUER: On the 9-11 widows, an in particular a group that had been critical of the administration: “These self-obsessed women seem genuinely unaware that 9-11 was an attack on our nation and acted like as if the terrorist attack only happened to them. They believe the entire country was required to marinate in their exquisite personal agony. Apparently, denouncing bush was part of the closure process.” And this part is the part I really need to talk to you about: “These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband’s death so much.” Because they dare to speak out?
watch it here

COULTER: To speak out using
COULTER: To speak out using the fact they are widows. This is the leftÂ’s doctrine of infallibility. If they have a point to make about the 9-11 commission, about how to fight the war on terrorism, how about sending in somebody we are allowed to respond to. No. No. No. We have to respond to someone who had a family member die. Because then if we respond, oh you are questioning their authenticity.
LAUER: So grieve but grieve quietly?
COULTER: No, the story is an attack on the nation. That requires a foreign policy response.
LAUER: By the way, they also criticized the Clinton administration.
COULTER: Not the ones I am talking about. No, no, no.
LAUER: Yeah they have.
COULTER: Oh no, no, no, no, no. They were cutting commercials for Kerry. They were using their grief to make a political point while preventing anyone from responding.
LAUER: So if you lose a husband, you no longer have the right to have a political point of view?
COULTER: No, but donÂ’t
COULTER: No, but donÂ’t use the fact that you lost a husband as the basis for being able to talk about, while preventing people from responding. Let Matt Lauer make the point. Let Bill Clinton make the point. DonÂ’t put up someone I am not allowed to respond to without questioning the authenticity of their grief.
LAUER: Well apparently you are allowed to respond to them.
COULTER: Yeah, I did.
LAUER: So, in other words.
COULTER: That is the point of liberal infallibility. Of putting up Cindy Sheehan, of putting out these widows, of putting out Joe Wilson. No, no, no. You canÂ’t respond. ItÂ’s their doctrine of infallibility. Have someone else make the argument then.
LAUER: What IÂ’m saying is I donÂ’t think they have ever told you, you canÂ’t respond.
COULTER: Look, you are getting testy with me.

David Kubiak discussed us getting an independent commission of our own I believe... setting up the funding for that.
As far as the strategy session I attended... we talked about how best to approach people, now that you know, what can you do, good ideas on how to get the word out... like putting 9/11 Truth on money, among many other suggestions...

He got a well-deserved standing ovation.

I dunno if Jon was kidding about that being the first time public speaking, but he was great. Describing his method of one on one Truthing, gently defusing a questioner who seemed to want the discussion to go in a "them no-good Zionists" direction, and generally inspiring the room with his commitment to our cause.
He got a well-deserved standing ovation.

inside,
i think part of the purpose of Chicago was to pick neutral ground that would be somewhat central for the northeast.. also, chicago does have a 9/11 group, and i met probably 10-20 locals.. i believe they were hoping to facilitate 9/11 being more openly discussed in chicago, since they are in NYC every week already anyways..
also, there is a rumor that the next meeting will be in the southeast, where there is very little 9/11 activism, but i fully support that as there are many of us in the south east who could help promote it and hopefully expose a lot of new people to the information..
anyways, i dont think there was anything wrong with Chicago for the conference, however if your goal was the largest 9/11 march possible then obviously you would pick NYC or SF, but the march was not the focus of the conference, it was just something to do to kill time while others arrived and before the keynote speeches began.
They picked a centralized

The same goes for Bush and his thugs. Always stay on the attack. Never back down.

Anonymous,
well, i wasnt involved in the picking of the city, so im not positive as to what all was weighed, but i would rather give the organizers the benefit of the doubt instead of second guessing their decisions seeing as to how successful it was and how much effort had to have gone into getting it all together.. im sure they made that decision for one reason or another.. if it was solely meant for marches or for newbies then obviously other cities would have been better, but i think Chicago was probably chosen because of its ease of access via airplane, and its central location in the northeast.. and like i said, the march was sort of a 2nd hand thing, not any sort of primary focus - which was getting all the 9/11 folk together..

Atlanta sounds like a good choice, but outside of NY & CA, I kind of favor the Boston area because it has about a dozen top universities within about a 25-mile radius. We could gain more Profs. Jones & Griffin + many new students that way.

If she's feeling paranoid about that shit being connected to 9/11 truth activism, tell her to chill out and not worry about it, it’s not worth it whether it’s stupid kids or “agents trying to freak people out”.

Nexus Points Emerge For
Nexus Points Emerge For Potential Summer Attack
All indications suggest uncomfortable season of fear ahead
Paul Joseph Watson/Prison Planet.com | June 6 2006
Numerous nexus points have emerged that suggest major western governments are preparing for a summer terror attack that will come close to but not match 9/11 in scale and will provide the justification needed for an air strike on Iran before the midterm elections in early November.
While there is a danger of becoming the boy who cried wolf, disturbing trends over the last couple of months do strongly indicate that the twist in the tale, which is always to be expected in an election year, will be a staged attack on a major developed city or the soccer World Cup. Here are the red flags.
- An increase in taped messages from supposed Al-Qaeda figures Osama bin Laden and Musab Al-Zarqawi.
- Terror arrests in England and Canada that seem to have little purpose other than making a future attack seem inevitable in the minds of the public.
- A report in the Washington Post detailing how 4,000 federal government officials will enter shadow government bunkers on June 19th for a continuity of government drill in anticipation of a major terrorist attack. Every major terrorist attack is preceded by or runs parallel to a government drill in order to provide governments with plausible deniability if they get caught facilitating the attack.
- Martial law evacuation exercises being conducted in Washington DC under the cover of manufactured crises.

(CBS) U.S. officials believe Canadian arrests over the weekend and three recent domestic incidents in the United States are evidence the U.S. will soon be hit again by a terrorist attack. Privately, they say, they'd be surprised if it didn't come by the end of the year, reports CBS News correspondent Jim Stewart in a CBS News exclusive.

hey apparently Kos (founder and ringleader of Dailykos) has CIA ties..."almost in the CIA"
And he has a very different depiction of them than I do:
"I think, as an instrument, the CIA is interested in a stable world. I think a lot of conservatives would paint that as evidence that the CIA is out to undermine bush, but ultimately I don't think it' sa very partisan thing to want a calm and stable world."
As far as past hostility towards CIA plots against Democratic administrations, "[that] was before my time, I've never had a problem with the CIA." However, he reminded us "keep in mind I came to this country in 1980. From a modern persepctive obviously things are a little different."
Anyway, I don't think Kos is necessarily a plant (it's dangerous to start calling everyone CIA assets). But i found that interesting in that its the official policy of his site is to discourage real debate (about stolen elections and 9.11) and otherwise "mobilize" the dems.
Also he thinks 3rd parties are doomed. I guess he is all about the democratic party no matter what...

It's a possiblility that the NYT wanted the bush administration to believe the 'conspiracy buffs' article was a hit piece toward the movement. It seems to me that NYT wants to get the word out about the 9/11 questions in most subtle possible ways. They've covered few anomalies surrounding 9/11 in the article and suggested the internet as the best resource for research. So it could be a good sign...
Or maybe this is all just wishful thinking...heh...
Re: Jon/Tonya's
Re: Jon/Tonya's dilemma...
If you're listed in the phone book, and you use your last name in promoting 9/11 truth, your mailbox could become at increased risk, it's true.
It's also riskier to fly an upside-down U.S. flag (despite how appropriate it is to do so since 9/11) in the real world than in cyberspace (911t is wise to have an explanation appear by its U.D. flag, as many people are ignorant about it, and thus misinterpret it).
Regarding the local authorities, one thing you can try, over time, is to continually pursue 9/11 truth with some local CFR big-wig (say, the President of a nearby college), or with NASA astronauts, by email and/or phone. You don't even have to use your last name or otherwise identify yourself. Based upon experience, I can tell you that what will [probably] happen is that eventually their institution will contact the local police, who will be told that the shadow-govt type with whom you've been in contact does not want to press charges, but does not want any further contact from you. The police will probably also be provided with a copy of the 9/11 information you've repeatedly sent, which will be read. Which means that the police will know that you are a very patriotic concerned citizen with what definitely seems to be very important information, and that the respectable institution is trying to pretend that it is ignorant. At that point, you can expect a very empathetic and borderline-friendly 'warning' visit from a representative of the local police.
A few other personal observations:
I've been wearing an "Ask me about 9/11" hat for years now. Not a lot of people do ask, but those who do have always been very receptive to what I've had to say about 9/11.
I've been wearing "9/11 was an Inside Job" t-shirts excessively for the past 10 months (since I got an ink jet printer). As you might imagine, since most people are only pretending to be asleep about 9/11 (which is, in large part, why we've had such a difficult time trying to wake them, IMHO), most people pretend they don't see it (unlike my hat, it's impossible to miss the message on a well-made shirt). But it does get seen, and commented on. It's a great way to meet nonbrainwashed people. NOT ONCE has anyone ever made a disparaging comment about any of my 9/11 shirts! Even wearing such shirts into restaurants, where a subject as un-appetizing as 9/11 is even less welcome than elsewhere, there has never been any problem (with customers or management) or negative reaction, though sometimes a positive reaction (from customers and management).
The polls are as rigged as the elections, and serve to help keep us from recognizing just how close to a tipping point we might be (we are!). By wearing in-your-face 9/11 truth shirts, we can do our own sociology experiments, and take society's temperature on such things for ourselves.
Last year I once stood on a busy Colorado Springs street corner wearing such a shirt holding such a sign for a Friday rush-hour. I only got a few middle-digits; many more thumbs-up. By the way, COS is one of the most conservative/military cities in the nation (NORAD, NorthComm, USAFA, CSOC, Peterson Field, Fort Carson, etc, etc), so one would expect the results I get here to be biased.
IOW, part of the big ongoing disinfo campaign surrounding 9/11 is to keep everyone from knowing that, on some level, nearly everyone is suspicious about 9/11. And that's an easy to thing to do: respect (incl for the dead) and grief are great gatekeepers; they socially coerce most people from confronting, much less openly expressing, their doubts regarding such an event. (Doubts? On some submerged/subconscious level, MANY people know that the official version of 9/11 can't be true, which is why many are so afraid to wake up and confront/embrace reality.)

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/06/05/911_documentary_removed/
In a certified letter sent to Dylan Avery, lawyers for Jules and Gedeon Naudet, makers of the renowned documentary 9/11 - The Filmmakers' Commemorative Edition, say they have never endorsed nor sponsored the controversial views in the film. The brothers captured what is thought to be the only footage of the first plane hitting the North tower
"It is clear that your intent is not to spread a controversial message but rather to profit," the lawyers conclude. They have identified at least 14 videofragments, including interviews with firemen. The Naudet Brothers, backed by distributor Paramount, are demanding $150,000 for each act of willful infringement.

Documents show post-war CIA covered up Nazi war crimes
By Shmuel Rosner, Haaretz Correspondent
The United States was aware that West Germany held information on the whereabouts of Adolf Eichmann in the 1950s, but chose to keep the matter secret, fearing that the arrest of the Nazi fugitive might lead to
embarrassing revelations about links between senior German officials and other Nazis.

now i know Palast doesnt
now i know Palast doesnt approach 9/11 with the veracity he could/should, but you gotta admit he does some damn fine work overall.so i'll post this for him, should be a good book for those of you that think beyond 9/11:
Palast vs. Coulter - Battle of the Books begins today
TODAY, ANNE COULTER AND I BOTH LAUNCH OUR BOOKS -- hers to promote the latest flavor of hate and militant ignorance; mine -- 'Armed Madhouse: Who's Afraid of Osama Wolf?, The Scheme to Steal '08 and other Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Class War -- the investigations, first broadcast on BBC, simply banned from US airways and print. (There's no truth to the rumor Coulter chose to release her book on 06-06-06 in honor of her father's birthday.)
I'm asking you to buy (or order) 'Armed Madhouse' THIS WEEK, right NOW in fact.
Why right now? Amazon and the industry have set up this Coulter vs. Palast 'launch week' as the Battle of The Books: Can progressives match the forces of darkness (they call them "conservatives")?
Coulter has a million-dollar Right Wing campaign behind her -- thereby allowing her and other hate-salesmen to control the media and the national discussion. The Coulter crew buys and dumps massive amounts of books, buying her way onto the bestseller list. I have only you.
Asia Times says, "Greg Palast, the man widely considered as the top investigative journalist in the United States, is persona non grata in his own country's media." But it's not ME that's 'non grata,' it's the information about the Washington regime -- that is shut out of the Fox-ified press. They may not count ballots, but they sure as hell count sales. That's the blunt, ugly truth of it: that's how you get the attention of America's media.
Pick up Armed Madhouse this week at your local bookstore or through Amazon or Barnes and Noble You can get to these from my website www.gregpalast.com/armedmadhouse/preorder.html
>>Yet I've seen Loose Change
>>Yet I've seen Loose Change for free, and got my copy for free. How are they making money off of Loose Change?
LC will come out at theaters nationwide and the filmmakers will be celebrities for the rest of their lives -- that's potentially an unimaginable amount of money. The price of printing and selling a tiny piece of metal with some grooves etched in it has nothing to do with the money making potential for the filmmakers when the film hits the big time.
Von Kleist made over $1 million off of people like you and me with In Plane Site.
Think about it.
The X-Files versions of 9/11 - no planes, pods, missiles, secret herdings of passengers - can make a lot of money for a few with the hype they generate, while providing a ton of grist for defenders of the official story to roast us in their opinion pieces and 'news' stories.
These films spread the message, true, but what message? And who is attracted by them? We risk growing a 'movement' packed with people who have little interest in actual content of the claims they are making, only hype and getting Bush out. Meanwhile those interested in credibility and evidence have a hurdle to go over upon seeing films about hoaxes and hype mixed with the same questions that the families asked and never got answered.
And in the end, some will become rich. I think the LC filmmakers are sincere and may have the best intentions. But if they really do, they'll edit out the unsubstantiated hype that doesn't help any of us before it hits the mainstream.
Loose Change Final Cut
Loose Change Final Cut doesnt need less, it needs more than LC2.hit the public with as much info as we got is what i say.asking questions about what hit the Pentagon and if phone calls are faked(which is what im assuming you dont like about LC2) is not hype, they are legit questions.
Just so Ann knows, two of
Just so Ann knows, two of the Jersey Girls voted for Bush in the 2000 election.
So let me get this straight... because the Jersey Girls lost their husbands' lives, they're not allowed to speak about making sure the way they died never happens again? To protect other people's lives? That makes complete and total sense.
Somebody shoot me now. Please. After you explain to me how someone like Ann Coulter is given airtime.

Ok, but much of what you

Right Chris, and let's release the rest of those plane-to-ground phone calls that gov't is withholding from us. Including the 30 minutes or so of "Betty Ong" still concealed.

Apparently Kathy Griffin was on the Today Show after Little Trust-Fund Annie and had some words for her: "I'd like to go after Ann Coulter, I saw that nut-bag on the show earlier. What's she doing wearing a cocktail dress at seven in the morning."

Loose Change was my shoe in
Loose Change was my shoe in to this movement. I am a small time player to this. I read much much more than i type ( because my typing is slow and my dyslexia makes me look stupid)
Loose Change may not be the definative 9/11 video, but as a tool to get people investigating the events of that day i think it has been a god send. (i don't believe by the way, just a figure of speech)
In my opinion the best way to get sheeple to address the truth is to ask the questions that matter.
Why no response from NORAD, Why no investigation into WTC7 and why have tptb (The powers that be) not given the full backing of an independent investigation of the events of 9/11.
I bow down to you investigators of the the truth that spend many more hours than i do promoting the need for a free investigation.
Just my two pennies worth, all the best to you who have the dedication that i lack. ;-)

Tonya,
As I hope I indicated in our private conversation, and now in public...this was not an attack on you.
Rather itÂ’s a suggestion to all of us that there are 100 ways to bring up 9/11, I found it extremely effective using a portable DVD player looping 7WTC, seeing the light bulb go off in a Chicago police officers eyes was very rewarding for me, and I hope memorable & educational for him, and of course it only took 6 seconds to get my point across. Confronting people with a potentially divisive method as an upside down flag, I fully believe, will distract our movement from the work that needs to be done. I believe that work involves building unity among all of us who have been betrayed by our Government, and getting rid of those who have and are betraying us. An upside down flag as a 1st impression will appeal to some, but I think that a majority of people will not get the symbolism and be turned offÂ…this wonÂ’t help our movement, and our time is short.
Veterans for truth,
Thank you for your service to this country, and your work in our movement. I once again request that you find another way to “market” our movement.
Tonya,
The second post was a mistake. Thank you for the work youÂ’ve done and your offer to help with my effortsÂ…and to you NamasteÂ…defined here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namaste

"Confronting people with a potentially divisive method as an upside down flag, I fully believe, will distract our movement from the work that needs to be done."
I'm not so sure. Drastic times call for drastic measures.
The people that are so “traumatized “by seeing an upside down piece of cloth are typically the same folks that don't give a shit about things that truly do matter like: thousands of dead & mutilated Iraqi women & children, with no end in sight. I say, F*ck these people, they’re most often hopeless Republican assholes anyway.
IMO, if anyone wishes to protest the government sponsored mass murders of 9/11 by flying the flag upside down, more power to them!
I just clarified something
I just clarified something in regards to Tonya. She was not getting any "threats". She was getting asked out, and was concerned that people were getting her phone number, and email address, etc... and she was freaked out. She thinks the mailbox may be a coincidence. I apologize for the misunderstanding. Because of her crying, I assumed they were threats.

She called me, balling her eyes out, hysterical, telling me people were calling her, writing her emails, and that she was "freaking out" because of the NYTimes piece... she barely made any sense... I called her back, she told me about the mailbox, I started to get WORRIED about her because she's a woman, and I am a GENTLEMAN. I felt POWERLESS to do anything to help her, and it SCARED me. She read the posts I was making. She could have cleared it up immediately. I'm not blaming her for that. It was my own stupid fault.

In that order.
As I mentioned in another
As I mentioned in another thread, LC2 was the first thing I got my mom (in her sixties)to watch and I regretted it -- she subsequently watched the DRG Madison lecture video with my dad and I think that was more persuasive to her (the theologian thing helped as she and my dad are both ministers.) With LC2 I felt like I had to provide a lot of after-the-fact commentary, along the lines of, well, not everyone thinks a missile hit the Pentagon. On the other hand, she was quite interested in the abandoned-dumptruck-fulla-gold angle. WTC7 is definitely what did it for my dad.

Jones mild, Fetzer medium, Tarpley medium hot, or Alex Jones super spicy????
Thank you Alex, for adding some very needed spice to our chicago feast.
But lets never forget that its the chicken that fills your belly,
( And if you truly digest Tarpley or Jones you will feel a disturbing rumbling of indigestion that is hotter and more uncomfortable than even the quick burn
of Alex)
We need them all!!!
Bon Appetite!!!

Perhaps for beginners in general, LC2E is better for college age, 30s, 40s, & DRG for older folks? Just a thought.
Hey, what did you all think
Hey, what did you all think of "911 Eyewitness Hoboken"? Frankly, my initial reaction is that this is the kind of thing that can help discredit the 9/11 Truth Movement. The film has some good footage of the tower collapses but
-- circles what may be nothing more than reflections on pieces of debris on the way down by way of claiming that this is "evidence" of explosions,
-- does side by side comparisons of the collapse of the towers with graphics taken from some web-site [!] showing objects being dropped in a vacuum, in an attempt to prove something, but does it in a completely confusing manner, almost like a parody of the analyses found on the scholars for truth website, and most disturbingly,
-- asserts that the collapse of the towers was caused partly by a low-yield nuclear detonation at the base of the towers!
When I asked the filmmaker some questions, such as, were any radiation measurements taken, and, what about the electromagnetic pulse set off by a nuclear charge (which would have overloaded electrical devices throughout the area), he just asserted that yes, there was radiation and there was an EMP -- but without citing any specific tests or evidence. Then he claimed that "only" a nuclear explosion could account for the pulverization of the towers' concrete.
I'm no scientist but this strikes me as a load of crap and a piece of totally self-indulgent, irresponsible film-making. Just like some folks shouldn't have a badge because it goes to their heads, maybe some folks shouldn't have a film camera either.
Am I right that this is nonsense that can discredit the movement? Or am I being unfair because there is there actually some solid evidence that can back the filmmaker's claims? I would be interested in hearing other responses. Thanks.
"Then he claimed that "only"
"Then he claimed that "only" a nuclear explosion could account for the pulverization of the towers' concrete."
I'm rather skeptical that he said this.

Regarding KOS: At the "Crashing The Gates" book signing event in New Haven, CT a few weeks ago (Ned Lamont was there, too), I approached him in person, and he didn't seem surprised or disgusted with me, although he would not take the handouts (a DVD and some ny911truth flyers) saying that he just didn't have a place to put them until the end of the event. Even so, I felt I had made my point and my presence representing the movement known to all in the room, including Mr. Lamont. So this new development is worrisome in that he is so tight with the Lamont campaign- is Ned a ringer??

Man, why doesnt WingTv just link to holocaust denier sites and be done with it? Everything is "Jews this, Israel this". They seem to be obsessed with solely attacking people in the 9/11 truth movement, not even being interested in finding out what really happened.
