Incompetence
GeorgeWashington Wed, 08/02/2006 - 3:07am
Apparently, ABC news is running a segment tonight on the 9/11 war games, and blaming the U.S. military's non-action on incompetence.
Here's my attempt to address the whole "incompetence" defense to 9/11.

While I was driving to work
While I was driving to work I turned on the Ed Shultz Show on Air America. He was talking about the C-Span show. He refered to it as a "Freak Show." How do you deal with people like him? I can understand Hannity or O'Riley but Shultz? This is what we are up against.
Very good. I was looking to
Very good. I was looking to use the "plane in UN colors memo" in something, and I think it fits well into this.

GW, great article!
My only comment would be to do without this piece:
(Although there might be a connection between the fact that 65 percent of liberals in the U.S. have a positive impression of atheists and the fact that it is difficult for liberals to imagine that the necons could really be so cold-hearted.
I don't think you need it. Good job.

GW, I don't think they cover the war games, just the air response generally. Big difference IMO because people would really start asking questions if they cover the war games in depth.

I didn't see the ABC segment, why are they rehashing the lack of air defense almost 5 years after the fact? Is there new evidence that made this news again?

Shouldn't we focus some of our efforts towards getting some of their questions answered?

I am so down. Called my Mom to tell her to watch C-Span tonight. She won't even discuss 9/11 truth with me... won't even let me bring it up. So, I just said to watch American Perspectives on CSpan at 6:10... hey, it's C-Span, sounds pretty innocent. But before we could hang up, she comments on how much she likes Glenn Beck..
I was sick at my stomach. WTF!! Glenn Beck - the man who said he couldn't hate the 9/11 victims' families enough ... enough, that is, until the Katrina victims came along. He began to hate them even more than the 9/11 victims' families. Scumbag POS.
I'm down - My mom likes Glenn Beck.

Schultz is a wolf in sheeps clothing. he was a life long republican until his wife "turned him". im sorry, but for a grown ass man to be "turned" like that,that late in life doesnt speak well for his intelligence.after listening to upwards of hundreds of hours of his shows because it was the only talk show i could tolerate and get locally,i have come to hate his fake liberal ass more than i hate most conservative puppets.i said it at least 3 times today on this board, and i'll say it again, fuck Ed Schultz. people like him are indeed more damaging than any psuedo fascist like Hannity could ever be.main reason being the zombies that Hannity appeals to most likely cant be saved.Schultz is an irresponsible asshole for passing things off without doing any basic research.Randi Rhodes may only be LIHOP, but at least with her you can tell shes done a little bit of homework on such an important issue.

After the pause, “Download” button appears. Now press the download button.
1. DOWNLOAD ONE PAGE 8.5 X 11 INCH FLYER (Total download time a minute)
Download for free at:

2. DOWNLOAD FILES FOR YOU TO BURN YOUR OWN COMPUTER CD:
Folder A – 1st

Folder B – 2nd
http://www.sharebigfile.com/file/13206/Building-7---B-Folder.zip.html
Folder C – 3rd
http://www.sharebigfile.com/file/13261/Building-7---C-Folder---Full.zip....
The three folder files are in zip format. Unzip each file, and it will become a folder. Use a free file like Winzip to unzip the files.
(If you donÂ’t have a zip extracting file, Winzip can be downloaded for free at http://www.download.com/WinZip/3000-2250_4-10454671.html?tag=lst-0-2 )
You can use the information on Folders A through C either on your own computer for your own educational purposes, and/or you can also use the folders to easily create a distributable information CD useful for outreach, if you have a CD burner.
To make the CD, use your CD burning software (e.g. Nero) to add all three unzipped folders onto a blank CD and burn the CD. All 3 folders will fit together on one CD. Label the CD “Building 7” or “Bldg 7”.
Each of the three folders takes about 20 minutes to download with broadband.
The positive features of this CD once you burn it is:
1. The CD is very-user friendly, and does not overwhelm the user when they first look at Folder A, which has only a few files in it.
2. The title of the CD itself is low key and non-threatening to the newbie: “Building 7.”
3. The CD begins with the most interesting and obvious issues first, and progressively tells the story of 9/11 truth in a logical, progressive, methodical order.
4. The CD is packed with hundreds of hours of audio and video for those who are really interested in this topic, yet it is so compact that it fits onto a CD. (Some of the multimedia is via web links).
5. Because it fits onto a CD, almost anybody with a computer has the ability to make copies of your CD to distribute to others.
6. The contents of the CD have been specifically created and edited to eliminate red herrings, conjecture, disproved theories, and disinformation to the greatest extent possible.
9/11 OUTREACH IDEAS:
If you have time, review the CD to get a feel for what is on it. You might learn some information you have not seen before.
Give CDÂ’s to your friends, family, and/or acquaintances. You can also give them out or sell them to strangers.
You can either give them away for free, or, if you consider this as an incentive to go out and do the work, you can charge up to $2 max. “donation” to reimburse you for your materials and labor.
Think about it, if you want you can earn some money while you are spreading the word about 9/11. You have the choice of giving the CDÂ’s away for free or selling them, whatever works for you.
Print the flyers. Use the flyers to get strangers interested in 9/11, and then try to give away and/or sell the CD. Give out the flyers free. Then offer to give or sell for a variable “donation” a CD or DVD.
MORE ON CD DISTRIBUTION:
1. Go to political rallies, parades, or meetings, where people are open to looking at new political ideas. Or go to public parks, or other places were people congregate, and start conversations with strangers. Give the flyers free to start a discussion. Sell the CDÂ’s or DVDÂ’s for a variable donation, or give them for free if the person cannot afford a donation.
2. Another place to go: Best Buy, or other big store that has TVÂ’s and DVD players on display. This is best done in a big store that is not overstaffed, or that has cooperative employees. Act like a customer. Be discreet. Put into a DVD into a DVD player connected to a big TV. It could be a copy of Loose Change or your other favorite 911 DVD. Turn the sound up pretty high, and turn the sound from nearby TVÂ’s down. I always start Loose Change at the beginning the WTC segment. Hang out either by the TV, or circulate in the store and come back to the TV every few minutes. Some customers (and even salesmen) might start watching and get interested. Ask them a few questions. Ask if theyÂ’ve seen this movie before or heard about it. Ask if they know much about 9/11. Ask if they have heard of any of the evidence contradicting the govtÂ’s account. Tell them youÂ’ve got a free copy youÂ’ll give them, and tell them you are asking for a donation of a dollar or two or even 25 cents for your expenses, but if they canÂ’t afford it youÂ’ll give it for free. Give them a flyer too for free. If you are really prepared, you will carry DVDÂ’s and computer CDÂ’s. Some might want or be able to use only one, some might want both.
MORE ON FLYER DISTRIBUTION:
PRE-PAID ENEVLOPES: Also put them into any prepaid postage envelopes you get and mail them for free.
NEWSRACKS: the free weekly rags are good, coz you don't have to pay to open the newsracks. These papers are often distributed on Wed or Thur for the paper dated the following week. But if you're willing to part with 50-100 cents, definately hit those other MSN news racks: NYT, WSJ, YourTownRag etc. Put a flyer in between section 1 and 2 of each rag, that way the people will definitely find them as they open the paper to read. In "tabloid" (magazine) style rags, put them inside the front cover, near the table of contents. For the daily rags, hit the newsracks EARLY, to reach the maximum # of people.It takes several minutes of standing there to insert these flyers into the papers. One idea is, make quick work of opening the rack, take about 3/4 of the stack of papers and return to your nearby car. In the car you can insert the flyers more easily and less conspicuously. If you paid to open the rack, obstruct the spring loaded door from closing while you do your biz in the car. Then return the new and improved papers to the rack for sale.
SHOPPING CARTS: these are often collected in the parking lots of stores. Whether they're separate or inserted into one another like a freight train, you can toss a flyer into them. The ones together like a train make the quickest work- just insert them at the top of each cart, where they'll sit waiting to fall into the cart when the cart behind it is removed. The store grunts who collect the carts won't take the time to de-flyer them... and you can flyer them 10X faster than they can de-flyer them.
A good opening question is, “Do you believe everything the government has told us about 9/11?” Two good follow-up questions are:
1. “Do you know how many skyscrapers taller than 40 floors collapsed to the ground in New York on 9/11?” Most people say of course 2.
2. “Do you know approximately how long after the 2nd tower was hit that Osama bin Laden was both named by the FBI as wanted for 9/11, and at the same time formally indicted for the crimes of 9/11: Closer to 1 minute after the attack, 1 hour, 1 day, 1 month, 1 year, or 2 years after the attack?” Whatever they say, it will be wrong, because it is a trick question. The answer is OBL has NEVER been named as being wanted by the FBI, has never been indicted for 9/11, and furthermore, the FBI recently admitted that there is “no hard evidence” linking OBL to 9/11.
Those two questions are surprising for most newbies, and gets them interested in learning more about 9/11.
You can give the flyers away free to known people or strangers, or leave them in a group of one or more in lobbies, on the floor next to elevators, or other public places where people are likely to take them and read them.
Once you start doing this, spread the word, and teach others to do this.
Everyone can make an impact spreading the word about 9/11, and if you are so inclined, you even have the option of earning a little small change in the process by selling the CD’s for a “donation.”
Another way to disseminate this information to friends or family who are far away is to email them these instructions, and they can download the information themselves from the Internet, and can follow the instructions so they can get the materials, learn about 9/11, and spread the word themselves.
P.S. when distributing CDÂ’s to total strangers in mass in a public, trafficked area, you might want to consider the advantages of asking for a token donation, even if itÂ’s only 25 cents, for the following 2 reasons:
a. Only those who really want to see the CD will pay you something for it. You may be otherwise giving out CDÂ’s to strangers who are not going to watch it, and maybe just throw it away.
b. There is a psychological incentive for people to value something they have paid for more than something they have gotten for free. Once they pay you, they have “invested” their money, so they are psychologically “invested” in getting something out of their purchase. In other words, everything else being equal, they are more likely to value and watch a CD they have paid for versus one they have received for free at no cost.
Please post what you think.

"Schultz is a wolf in sheeps clothing." I was thinking the same thing Chris. I can handle guys like Hannity but the fake liberals like Shultz make me vomit. Calling the 9/11 panel a freak show. What an asshole. I suppose Bowman is a freak? Or Tarpley. Or any truth seeker like you and me. I guess we are freaks too. How Malloy can stand to work on the same network with an asshole like "Big Ed" is beyond me.
