Top Question For Political Candidates:

Here's my top pick for the best question to ask of Obama, Clinton, McCain, Huckabee and all of the other Congressional candidates out on the campaign stump this election year:

"Do you believe the CIA obstructed the 9/11 Commission's investigation?"

If they answer, "yes" then ask them if they support a real investigation. If "no" or "I don't know" then remind them of what the co-chairs themselves stated! Kean and Hamilton said, "The CIA made a conscious decision to impede the panel's inquiry."

Why not remind your local Democratic headquarters of this and give them a copy of "9/11: Press for Truth?" This is a solid approach to making some mainstream ground. If possible, we should try to get letters to the editor published as well. Here is one concerning the CIA from December 18, 2007 from my local paper "The Daily Reflector" in Greenville, NC.

"The CIA's admission of destroying the tapes of its interrogations with suspected terrorists adds yet more empirical evidence to suggest that the official account of the Sept. 11 attacks is a lie. After all, according to the 9/11 Commission report, the enemy's nature and evidence of the plot were supplied through these very same interrogations.

The commission was never allowed to interview the subjects and was forced to rely on what the CIA relayed. The fact that the CIA deliberately lied to the commission and Congress strongly suggests that there are tons of questions that remain unanswered.

This is no longer some far-fetched conspiracy theory. We can now link a prominent government agency to covering up and obscuring the truth of what happened on 9/11. We know that the official account, when faced with reasonable questions, fails miserably to explain the dynamic characteristics of both tower collapses and also of World Trade Center 7.

I strongly urge that we as a citizenry not allow the truth to be marginalized by those who suggest that Americans who raise rational questions about that day are undermined as conspiracy junkies or dismissed by the corporate media. The evidence overwhelmingly suggests tht the al-Qaida story is a falsity."

Then I followed up last week with a letter on controlled media that had a similar theme. Here is a link to the letter if anyone would like to read it. From Feb. 22, 2008 in "The Daily Reflector," circulation of approx. 60,000

I like this one....

Do you really think americans are that f**king stupid?

Not Stupid, but ignorant

about how controlled the media is, and maybe a little bit too lazy to do their own research. Even educated people are in denial about 9/11 because it's so audacious and big. Remember Hitler once said that people are more likely to believe the BIG LIE than the little lie.

Many people aren't able to accept the whole "inside job" concept right off the bat, even though it clearly was, so I like the idea of pointing out contradictions in the official story and the fact that the CIA lied to the commission and Congress. It's also important to point out Project Mockingbird (CIA control of the MSM) and the whole corporate media monopoly thing, when talking about 9/11. We need to be versed in that. Oh, and the 2 quotes by former CIA directors!

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false," William Casey said.

"The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media," William Colby said.
