Vancouver 9/11 Truth Movement - Making Their Mark in the Local Activist Community

The Vancouver 9/11 Truth Movement, though small and scattered, has been around for some time. Since the Spring of 2006 they have been holding regular meetings at various private locations, but since the Barrie Zwicker speaking engagement in downtown Vancouver on August 30th, and their demonstration on Robson Street on September 11th, 2006 this group has become a far more coherent activist group, and one with vision, objectives and determination.

Though still not huge, this group is quite remarkable in it's make up, with members ranging from 18 to 80 years old, from all walks of life, with various educational backgrounds, diverse socio-economic statuses, and are represented by both sexes, and variey of cultures and ethnicities. They are not at all your typical, young, protest group that one might expect to see at an anti-war rally. Though they are also anti-war, it is more from a standpoint of 'false pretences' for war, also known as false-flag terrorism. While not always unanimous in their views as to what actually happened on 9/11, they are in agreement (along with 84% of Americans in a recent, national poll) that the 'official story' as given to us by the US government, the media and the '9/11 Commission Report' does not add up, and that much of which led up to that fateful day, and indeed the facts surrounding the 'terrorist events' on 9/11 has been covered up.

Indeed, it is widely acknowledged now that the war in Iraq was illegal and based on lies, and as such, the Bush regime has lost credibility, as evidenced by the their defeat in the recent mid-term elections. The 9/11 Truthers are adamant that the pretext for the war in Afghanistan is equally fraudulent (with a myriad of evidence to prove it), and they question Canada's role in the so called "War on Terror" without any real investigation into the attacks of 9/11 by our government.

They are furthermore appalled by the use of depleted uranium (DU) weapons in the Middle East that is causing massive casualties, birth defects, and poisoning even our own troops (and their families upon return) with radioactivity, and contaminating the region with toxic material that has a 4.5 billion year half-life.

In addition, Vancouver 9/11 Truth activists have another agenda: stopping the North American Union which they (and many others) say is being brought into existance secretly via the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP) at the behest of the corporate elite, with no input from citizens and no debate in our House of Parliament (nor for that matter in the US House of Congress). The SPP was signed with Mexico and the USA by former Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin and has been further enhanced by his Conservative successor Stephen Harper, again without consulting the people. Indeed, they are aghast also at the growing loss of civil liberties and rights under the guise of 'security' (both in this country and abroad) and loss of democratic rights of the people. A 'New World Order' of, by, and for the elites they say is now taking shape. Globalism, in short, will spell the end of Canada's sovereignty, and see our national wealth and jobs largely transfered out of our country and out of Canadian control. (Not to mention the loss of national identity, culture and social programs, etc)

In an effort to bring these issues to the public's attention, the Vancouver 9/11 Truth Movement now holds regular organizational meetings to plan public events to raise public awareness. It has recently launched a website to publicize their activities, goals and events, as well as attract newcomers, which features links to many other 9/11 related sites that have documented the lies, anomolies, and coverups of the September 11th events in New York City and Washington, DC.

Addtionally, the Vancouver 9/11 Truthers have recently screened several documentary film screenings, including: Aaron Russo's 'America - Freedom to Fascism' and Alex Jones 'Terrorstorm', at the Pacific Cinematheque on Howe Street in Downtown Vancouver.

In May 2007 the group will present an evening with Prof. David Ray Griffin. (Details to follow).

A multi-speaker conference is also in the planning stages for later this year.
