Marilyn and I, along with newcomer Marina, were out today for some 9/11 Civil Information-ing. It rained on and off,so we could not set up at the usual location, but we did find a sheltered spot (empty store front with an awning) on 224th St (the main street) right next to a busy Italian Ice Cream Cafe and so we set up there. We had, numerous DVD compilations, music CDs and our new Weapon of Myth Destruction: a portable DVD player. There was not a lot of pedestrian traffic given the weather, but enough to make it worth while, and while some sauntered by obliviously, others crossed the street to talk to us and to learn more, and were thankful for our presence there.

(Picture taken with my very old pocket digi-cam - sorry, it's all I've got !)

Lots of cars drove by and quite a few drove around the block several times to check us out, and then stopped for free DVDs etc. We received lots of honks, smiles and thumbs up from passing motorists too. No negatives at all! One gentlemen was skeptical as he sat near by drinking coffee at the Cafe. He did take some literature and a fact sheet though and allowed me to show him a portion of 9/11 Mysteries. He was not convinced but was at least willing to take a reluctant look, and perhaps he will give it some thought and research it more, and that is all we can hope for. We have done our job.

Marina has been looking into 9/11 for over a year after a friend spoke to her about it. She was stunned at first and thought it was outrageous not to believe the official story, but did eventually look into it more and then attended the William Rodriguez event in Vancouver last year, and became convinced that there were indeed many unanswered questions and many facts which totally contradict the official story. She saw us on the streets a few weeks ago, signed up for our newsletter and decided to take the plunge today after meeting with us for coffee. She had never done this type of thing before. Marina didn't talk a lot, and was nervous and shy, but she grew more comfortable very quickly when she saw no one was laughing and pointing fingers, nor throwing insults or anything else in our direction. She grabbed a sign and held it high when cars were passing and did join in with talking to those who approached us. She had a great time and has volunteered to come out again on the 11th of April for the International Day of Action for 9/11 Truth too. As always, it was a fun and worthwhile day for us all. We hope to have more people joining our cause and doing the same in other towns around the Valley soon for a regular, peaceful, 9/11 Truth presence.

The best news of the week perhaps is that my dear old mom, God bless her, at 75 years is now a 9/11Truth Activist! She had been very skeptical and scared about what I was doing for a long time, but did watch a number of documentaries and some of the presentations from the Vancouver 9/11 Truth conference last year. Then recently, after she overheard me talking to some of her friends about 9/11 (who also took DVDs), as well as hearing about how well our street action was being received, she suddenly asked me for DVDs to keep in her purse to give to people she talks to when out for walks or on the bus, AND SHE DID ! They are all gone and she wants more!! Go Mom Go!

Now, we again ask locals to sign up for our newsletter or contact us if you wish to get involved. No experience necessary, just a desire to stand up for truth and justice for 9/11 victims, and to help stop a bogus war on terror.

The REAL War on Terrorism starts with YOU, by letting others know what you know, and showing that you care about what is going on in YOUR world, and taking responsibility for the solution - by saying no to fear and tyranny, and standing for Truth and Justice for all. We are providing a public service and doing our civic duty.

We hope you'll join us, wherever you happen to live, and help create a peaceful, civil 9/11 Truth presence everywhere, and as often as possible.
