Daniel Sunjata: Intellectual Dishonesty In The Age Of Universal Deceit...

(Digg!)

Intellectual Dishonesty In The Age Of Universal Deceit:
a message to the corporate media and our elected officials.

By Daniel Sunjata - May 4, 2009 - www.911blogger.com

"The inert masses are mentally and spiritually ill equipped to deal with reality, so they block it out of their minds - aided of course, by the corporate media and the propaganda apparatus of the government itself. This is why fantasy is frequently substituted for reality, plutocracy is mistaken for democracy, and the majority of the people do not know the difference. Millions of good people thus refuse to allow into their psyche the suffering and misery that U.S. policies have produced and exported to the world, even as that reality is closing in upon them." - Charles Sullivan

"They could be made to accept the most flagrant violations of reality...and were not sufficiently interested in public events to notice what was happening." - George Orwell, 1984

“Article XXXIV OBSTRUCTION OF INVESTIGATION INTO THE ATTACKS OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001” - From the 35 articles of impeachment introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on 06/09/08 in H.Res. 1258 by Congressman Dennis Kucinich

The list is not a short one. It includes professors, architects, aerospace and aviation professionals, structural/mechanical/& aeronautical engineers, demolition experts, firefighters and other first responders, scientists, theologians, senior members of both the military and intelligence communities, Republican administration appointees, state department veterans, and other government officials from the United States and abroad; credible experts of impeccable pedigree with impressive track records from relevant fields of expertise, whose coolly rational intellects are not easily given to an unfounded belief in outlandish, unsubstantiated, or unverifiable claims. Individuals such as these are numbered among the ranks of skeptics and critics of the official theory of conspiracy regarding the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Some pose questions, others draw conclusions, still others (like Congressman Kucinich) go so far as to level accusations and to substantiate them with evidence.

Organizations like Medical Professionals for 9/11 Truth (MP911truth.org), Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth (AE911Truth.org), Lawyers for 911 Truth (L911T.com), The Journal of 9/11 Studies (journalof911studies.com), Pilots for 911 Truth (PilotsFor911Truth.org), Fire Fighters for 911 Truth (FireFightersFor911Truth.org), and Veterans for 911 Truth (V911T.org), have posted carefully crafted signing statements for all the world to see, and online petitions calling for a new and independent investigation with power of subpoena. Their unanswered questions, the consequent implications that arise, and the fundamental inadequacies they point out in the official reports issued by FEMA, NIST, and the now infamous 9/11 Commission are disturbing to say the very least. Even more disturbing, however, is the corporate media’s revolving door of silence and violence with which those who pose such questions have been greeted. In most cases they are completely ignored, and what might otherwise be front-page news goes virtually unreported. Feigned and transparently disingenuous gestures aimed at affecting the appearance of fair and balanced news coverage occasionally result in an arguably credible expert being granted an interview only to be condescended to, constantly interrupted, shouted down, and verbally abused in the process. Examples abound. Thus, in spite of having shouted their findings from the proverbial rooftops for years, and in spite of such notorious historical precedents as the now declassified Operation Northwoods, there has yet to be any substantive debate, journalistically integrous investigation, or scrutinous inquiry by the establishment or its media into the claim that 9/11 bears all the hallmarks of a complex covert operation of state intelligence; false flag terror; an inside job.

This is not to say, however, that the issue has gone entirely unaddressed by mainstream sources. Hand in hand with the marginalization of informed dissent and deep concern expressed by qualified skeptics like Lt. Col. Robert M. Bowman, PhD (Director of Advanced Space Programs Development under Presidents Ford and Carter), Paul Craig Roberts (Assistant Sect. Of Treasury under Pres. Reagan), Lynn Margulis (National Medal of Science recipient), James Quintiere (former Chief of NISTs Fire Science Division), Commander Ralph Kolstad, U.S. Navy (retired fighter pilot and Topgun Air Combat Instructor), and Sibel Edmonds (former FBI translator specializing in counter-terror, and gag-ordered whistleblower) is the corporate media’s rabid eagerness to confront, shame, condemn, and discredit celebrities and other citizens who have tried to draw public attention to the same issue. Marion Cotilliard, Martin and Charlie Sheen, Rosie O’Donnell, Ed Asner, Willie Nelson, and former Governor Jesse Ventura among many others, have uniformly fallen under swift and venomous attack upon questioning the official theory of conspiracy, and for daring to utter the blasphemous assertion (recently echoed in sentiments expressed by Melissa Rossi in her recent Huffington Post article titled ‘Obama: Reopen The 911 Investigation’) that a new investigation is warranted given the innumerable inconsistencies, omissions, and outright distortions that permeate the aforementioned "official" reports.

Unfairly attacked based not upon the substance of the arguments they have advanced, but rather upon the basis of inane irrelevancies related to their private lives and public personas, they have been dismissed out of pocket as paranoid conspiracy fanatics, drug addicts, Nazis, and narcissists who should stick to playing their position as entertainers and leave the thinking up to the grown-ups when it comes to things they could not possibly understand. This is the classic ad hominem approach - to dismiss the source as a means to dismissing the message. Consequently, nothing of what they have actually said has been given its due diligence by our supposedly free press. Even though their questions and conclusions rest upon broad-shouldered analysis, expert testimony, diligent research, peer reviewed scientific studies (most notably that of Danish scientist Niels Harrit, whose findings on undetonated nano-thermite explosive residues found in WTC dust samples can be read online in The Open Chemical Physics Journal), and a preponderance of other damning forensic and circumstantial evidence, such prominent skeptics have been greeted with outright hostility and the most virulent brands of journalistic irresponsibility and intellectual dishonesty. This in fact is anti-journalism; the exact opposite of what one would expect to find in a society aspiring to exemplify the democratic ideal. If I didn’t know any better, I might think that such tactics were being employed just to shut these experts and celebrities up, and to keep the general public from paying them any mind. I might think that childish insults, character assassination, reductionist clichés, insipid platitudes, necessary illusions and emotionally potent oversimplifications had taken the place of journalistic integrity, objective scrutiny, and investigative rigor.

For instance, when Joe Scarborough covers a story about a 9/11 demonstrator being arrested during an appearance by Bill Clinton in Corpus Christi, and he and his MSNBC ‘Morning Joe’ co-hosts utter things like “Where is the taser? Tase him!” and “Led away in handcuffs…hopefully taken to one of those secret prisons in Eastern Europe and never to be heard from again. I hope we have a special prison for 9/11 conspiracy theorists” it is quite difficult to grant them high scores for anything other than spewing fascistic rhetoric. Similarly only willful ignorance or a deliberate contempt for accuracy and logic can explain Glen Beck’s lumping together of Congressmen, law abiding citizens, highly decorated military personnel, prominent artists, and CIA veterans with violent radicals, in sweeping statements such as his ridiculous contention that 9/11 activists are “insane, dangerous anarchists” who comprise “"the kind of group a Timothy McVeigh would come from." It is an easily verifiable fact that in the thousands of 9/11 protests that have taken place since 2001, not a single individual has ever been arrested for violent conduct or convicted of a violent crime. It is also, shall we say, less than candid to assert that a movement whose implicit moral imperative arises from a desire to protect constitutional integrity could in any way be considered anarchistic in nature. Also, in one of the most irresponsible acts of journalism on record, Geraldo Rivera conflated the notoriously non-violent 9/11 activist community with terrorists in the following statement he made on FOX News Channel’s ‘FOX and Friends’ program while covering the 03/08 Times Square Bombing of a US Armed Forces recruiting station:

"I think that this bomber isn't Al Qaeda, isn't anything like that... He's more like those '9/11 was an inside job' kind of guys... Protesting in a violent way, but in a violent way almost like the eco-terrorists... where they don't intend to inflict casualties."

The most egregious examples of this type of filth masquerading as responsible news commentary can perhaps be found emanating from the twisted and blusterous mouth of Bill O’Reilly. When the story broke that Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, was set to finance the distribution of ‘Loose Change 911’ (the most downloaded documentary in internet history) with Charlie Sheen set to narrate, O’Reilly (conceding his hypocrisy by admitting to not having seen the film or looked at the evidence) responded by unleashing a blitzkrieg of idiotic non-sequiturs, calculated ambiguities, and thinly veiled threats. After an erroneous and lame attempt to dismiss and discredit 9/11 Truth as “lunacy” from the “far-left fringe” (the movement transcends both liberality and conservatism alike, is a mainstream phenomenon, and its basic premise is in fact eminently sane), he compounded his ignorance by comparing 9/11-dissent to Nazi propaganda and holocaust denial. Like…dude…SERIOUSLY?! It is the very height of disingenuity to suggest that by demanding truth and accountability one is somehow offending and dishonoring the victims or their families, when the only way to honor them is by finding out the truth and holding the guilty parties responsible for their crimes. It would be more apt to compare Nazi propagandists and holocaust deniers to an administration that skewed intelligence about Iraq in order to fear-monger the American people into supporting the doctrine of preemption, while evading the initiation of any official inquiry into the most catastrophic day in our nations history, for 441 days. Either O’Reilly didn’t know or he didn’t care to know that Bill Doyle, founder of World Trade Center United Family Group (one of the largest 9/11 victims’ family organizations, comprised of over 7000 members from 2,573 families) believes that the government was complicit in the attacks. He has also publicly stated that at least half of his members harbor deep suspicions about what happened on 9/11 and why. Mr. Bill also saw fit to put Mark Cuban and Charlie Sheen on notice, so to speak. Sounding not altogether unlike a mafia don threatening to issue a hit, O’Reilly states "this is a warning to Mark Cuban, who is distributing that film in a few weeks. This is a warning to you Bud, okay, you pull that movie or I'm gonna be your worst nightmare, because this is gonna lead to death." “We're looking out for you, Charlie Sheen. Don't do this. You're not going to come back from it, if you do…”

As I said, examples abound. Such pathetically transparent diversionary tactics smack of cowardice and a reluctance to engage the subject of 9/11 based upon the facts at hand, and have no place in the realm of professional journalism (or info-tainment as the case may be). This must cease. If we are to have any hope of change as a nation, then we must recognize that turning the page on one of the darkest chapters in American governmental history without having properly read it, would be a grave and disastrous error. Regardless of how inconvenient, uncomfortable, or outlandish the implications may at first appear, this subject demands to be substantively addressed, free of spin or bias, for neither it nor its advocates are going to just fade away. Only a ship of fools would blatantly disregard the opinions of such highly qualified and erudite critics as those listed on sites like patriotsquestion911.com without closely examining their actual and factual claims. Now that Judiciary Committee Chairman Senator Patrick Leahy has officially introduced a proposal to investigate the Bush administration for war-crimes and the subversion of Constitutional Law, it stands to reason that 9/11 should also be soberly looked into once and for all. Given the swirling cloud of criminal accusations and populist rage regarding the legalization of torture, the illegal wiretapping of American civilians (including the intentional targeting of journalists and intellectuals according to NSA whistleblower Russell Tice) as well as other allegations of treasonous conduct, and taking into consideration the claims, statements, and research of critical thinkers across a wide spectrum of expertise who publicly doubt the government’s official explanation, it shouldn't (although apparently it does) take a rocket scientist to see the disturbingly plausible connections between the inside job hypothesis and every Orwellian legislative and militaristic act for which 9/11 and its victims have been invoked as justification. Indeed the logic of context is fundamentally derailed by the prevailing ring-pass-not approach of investigating every area to which 9/11 is crucially relevant and intimately related, while treating the subject itself as sacrosanct. Clearly this should be part of any investigation into the alleged criminality of the previous administration; indeed it should be given priority. This above all else is President Obama’s litmus test of integrity and the quintessence of this nation’s hope for change. For if 9/11 was in fact an inside job, then it places all of the evils that flowed from and followed that event into vivid contextual focus. Bogus claims of executive privilege should offer no protection to those towards whom the preponderance of evidence points; chips fall where they may.

My own reasons for speaking out on this issue are fairly simple. I didn’t choose it; it chose me. Upon being hired to act the part of a post-9/11 NYC firefighter on Rescue Me, my research for the character led me to take a more objective look at what actually happened versus what we were told in the wake of the event. Nothing added up. No matter from which angle I approached 911, it invariably unraveled into contradictions and inconsistencies requiring the suspension of my logic and common sense in addition to several laws of physics. Slowly I came to the determination that I had no choice but to speak out, because (as Franco Rivera) I presume to represent the memories of the heroes who died that day, as well as the reality of the heroes who still mourn their loss. I work with these men; looking them daily in the eye. Therefore it is a citizen’s act of moral conscience and social responsibility, nothing more. To know or even to merely suspect, and yet remain silent, would be anti-American, unpatriotic, and tantamount to betrayal. Therefore this is no stunt on my part to gain publicity or to garner attention for myself by appearing edgy and controversial. Believe it or not, I rather covet my relative anonymity as a quasi-celebrity/working actor. I would much rather direct media and public attention to those most credible dissenting experts who have looked at and analyzed the facts (circumstantial as well as forensic) and found that they do not fit the government’s theory of conspiracy. People like Professor Emeritus David Ray Griffin, Richard Gage (AIA), Physics Professor Steven Jones (co-author of the above mentioned peer reviewed study proving that explosives were in fact used to implode the WTC towers as well as WTC 7), William Christison (former CIA Station Chief and Director of Regional and Political Analysis), Ray McGovern (27 year CIA vet., and former Chair of National Intelligence Estimates), Coleen Rowley (former F.B.I. Special Agent and Minneapolis Division Counsel), and Sibel Edmonds must be given fair and open forums on mainstream media platforms, as well as access to those with the power and responsibility to reopen the 9/11 investigation; or rather, to finally conduct one as the case may be. Until that happens we will not be silent. We will not go away. We will not submit.


Feel free to re-post Mr. Sunjata's statement, with a link back to the original post:

Public myth.

"The list is not a short one. It includes professors, architects, aerospace and aviation professionals, structural/mechanical/& aeronautical engineers, demolition experts, firefighters and other first responders, scientists, theologians, senior members of both the military and intelligence communities, republican administration appointees, state department veterans, and other government officials from the United States and abroad; credible experts of impeccable pedigree with impressive track records from relevant fields of expertise, whose coolly rational intellects are not easily given to an unfounded belief in outlandish, unsubstantiated, or unverifiable claims."
And yet the politicians and media, who are tasked with serving the public interests, continue to successfully ignore and block any information that questions the official story that the public has pretty much accepted as the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Even Keith Ollberman Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews are afraid of the truth.
It seems the creation of public myth is actually possible even in our enlightened age.

Public Myth & Its Makers.

Yes Phaedrus. So true. So disturbing. I am the first to admit that I am no journalist, no expert by any stretch of the imagination. But even with the subplot featured on Rescue Me, the response I got from various magazines and websites on this piece was that there was NO STORY HERE. It is not news to them that such informed dissent has been expressed by those who cannot be dismissed as insane lunatics. Popular Mechanics was thrown in my face repeatedly as having already debunked every claim I made and every reference I included. One editor even equated 911 Truth with those who deny evolution in favor of creationism! Its just pathetic actually, because I KNOW these individuals are more intelligent than to believe the excuses that they offered in order to avoid dealing with me. And given what I know about how publicity works, their crab-like side stepping is all the more conspicuous. If FOX & Friends finds Rescue Me's inclusion of 911 Truth newsworthy enough to attack, one would think that an essay written by the actor in the center of the "controversy" would be a hot commodity; even if only to try and further condemn the movement or to make me look like a loony-tune. When you bring hard facts and credible references to the table, however, the modus operandi is BLACKOUT. And if you have no microphone, no camera, no platform...then you are shouting into a vacuum. Maddening. Frustrating. But not enough to deflate our firm intention to see justice done in this matter.

Justice, Then Peace...
Daniel Sunjata

Wow. Just wow.

Daniel, an honor to speak directly to you. That was quite possibly, in many ways, the best 9/11 Truth Movement essay ever up to this point. And from a celebrity! Even celebrity Jesse Ventura didn't write an essay as thorough and eloquent as that! As you know, the media ignores any non-famous but qualified person who speaks out, like Steven Jones or Bob Bowman. However, the media generally pay some degree of attention when a TV star (or other celebrity) entertains 9/11 truth even in a few brief words the way Willie Nelson did. What will they think when they read your essay? Will it get quoted and disseminated widely? Or will the silence be deafening?

I have been feeling some 9/11 activism frustration lately, not the least of which because it's 2009 and many people's attitude is "it was a long time ago. Get over it and move on." The "Obama honeymoon" is really exacerbating this "go back to sleep" mentality.

Reading your piece was an elixir of rejuvenation.

Thank you for walking the walk, Daniel.

Strength to you.

Tennyson / "Ulysses" / Sunjata

Thanks for the Tennyson quote, Michael. Being about heroism, it is appropriate when addressing Sunjata and the position he has taken regarding 9/11.

"Come, my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world."

Thanks For Your Effort

Not easy to put ones higher profile reputation in jeopardy by siding with an issue scorned by a poweful establishment.

Great risk for the sake of principle.

Daniel

Thanks for posting here & fighting the good fight,

Are there any other rescue me actors/set members that are on you're side?

You've bettered them

"I am the first to admit that I am no journalist...." Um...actually, I would say that you have just surpassed them by light-years.

If...

"If you can keep your head when all about you,
are losing theirs and blaming it on you.
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
yet leave allowance for their doubting too..."
Never were these words more appropriate.
Never give up. Good things happen to good people. And occasionally unbelievable things happen.
Who would have believed the self made son of an ordinary white woman and an absent black Kenyan father with the unusual name of Barack Hussein Obama would end up most powerful man on the planet???
Anything is possible with perseverance and an unwavering conviction in ones beliefs.

How have I managed to avoid this poem "If" by Rudyard Kipling until now?

Thank you Phaedrus. This has touched me in a very special way.

Inspired poem

It truly is a gem.

Correction

'Who would have believed the self made son of an ordinary white woman and an absent black Kenyan father with the unusual name of Barack Hussein Obama would end up most powerful man on the planet?'

Well, actually he isn't; he just works for the most powerful men on the planet.

The recent issue of Rolling

The recent issue of Rolling Stone magazine (Issue 1078, May 14, 2009) has a one page article/review re Rescue Me titled "Burning Men", page 34, by Rob Sheffield.

Not any mention of the two key sub-plots . . . Questioning the 9/11 OCT (Official Conspiracy Theory) or the plight of the sick & dying 9/11 first responders . . . Maybe many of us should or could write a letter to the editor . . . . @ rollingstone.com . . . : )

"Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking; where it is absent, discussion is apt to become worse than useless."
-- Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi, Russian writer, 1828 -1910

"One day posterity will remember these strange times, when ordinary common honesty was called courage."
-- Yevgeny Yevtushenko (1933- ) Russian poet 1969

Thanks Daniel, for your guts and intelligence.

Regarding Kucininch

he needs to co=sponsor H.R. 1207.

Nudging People Beyond The First Obstacle

Very very glad about this. Often it is pointed out that the science / facts / evidence are already there--at least enough to know that the OCT is wrong and that something has been terribly amiss in the media and in US politics--and that the element we need to deal with is the psychological one. I have repeatedly tried to get friends and relatives to look into the info Sunjata is here providing access to. Sigh...too often with little or no effect.

One of the largest obstacles is the first one: simply being willing to read from the wealth of information that is now available, and--yes--increasing in both quality and quantity. Doubtless, Sunjata's encouragement to do so will help turn the already shifting tide. Maybe it will catch the attention and the conscience of even some of the people to whom it is addressed in the media and politics.

Amen.......and Thank You

Amen.......and Thank You Daniel.........

I like this quote

"The inert masses are mentally and spiritually ill equipped to deal with reality, so they block it out of their minds - aided of course, by the corporate media and the propaganda apparatus of the government itself. This is why fantasy is frequently substituted for reality, plutocracy is mistaken for democracy, and the majority of the people do not know the difference. Millions of good people thus refuse to allow into their psyche the suffering and misery that U.S. policies have produced and exported to the world, even as that reality is closing in upon them." - Charles Sullivan

That is so true. Just keep your head in the sand and everything will be OK. My God what a bunch of sheep.

Bravo! We must never ever

Bravo! We must never ever stop until justice and the truth are served. Thanks for this post.

Facebook.

For those not aware, there is a facebook group "9/11 Truth Movement" with over 26,500 members! I'm sure many if not most on here have accounts at FB and might even be a member of this group.

I posted Sunjata's statement there in this discussion thread OP:

http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=9315&uid=2204686781#/topic.php?u...

Spread Sunjata's statement any way you know how!

It chose me.

Thanks, Daniel, for using your well-deserved celebrity to draw attention to 911 Truth. I know you must be taking some heat for it, and may have even lost money because of your public position. I respect you for making this choice. And I can completely relate to "It chose me".

Joe put this article on the DALLAS website !

RobinDallas, Joe placed this article on the NORTH TEXANS FOR 9/11 TRUTH website as its own separate page!! http://www.northtexas911truth.com/intellectualdishonesty.htm . We will print this article and Daniel's picture for the document tables at our 7/11 EVENT, A Symposium on Building 7. http://www.711911.webs.com/ & http://building7symposium.webs.com/

Excellent!

This paper should be shared with all who care about finding truth in this world.

I say "If Not Me, WHO? If Not now, WHEN?

I got that from a wise old Rabbi

Mr. Sunjata:

I bet an additional great way to get this message out would be for you to get in front of a video camera in a respectable setting, and recite the entire thing for the camera. Get it on youtube, etc., and make it go viral. We can't trust the corporate media to spread this for us.

EDIT: Yes, I know you're informing people via video by way of your character in the show, but of course the next step, which you've done so magnificently in print, now needs to go viral on video.

Loose Change9/11 | An America Coup

Daniel Sunjata will be the narrator of the upcoming Dylan Avery film "Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup" as well.

One of the best articles I've read on the failure of corporate and state media to address the real issues around 911.

Keep up the good work Daniel.

Superb.

Thank you Daniel! So eloquent!

This is one of the greatest essays on 9/11 truth that Ive ever read. Sober, eloquent, and to the point. You have done a great job of embarrassing the corporate media. They know they are all cowards, sheep, followers. They wait for the consensus among their peers before reaching conclusions, they test the wind before before speaking up. It has been like this for a long time, and unfortunately, I suspect that you cant teach someone to be a hard-question asking, muckraking, investigative journalist.

You are born either a Seymour Hersh, Paul Thompson, Gary Webb, Hunter Thompson, Mike Ruppert, etc. Or you are born a Bill O'Reilly, Ann Coulter, Joe Scarborough, etc. Some will never ask the hard questions. For some, asking the hard questions is all they can bring themselves to do.

Whatever they really are, these people going around claiming to be journalists are merely just more sheep in the herd. They dont want to be scorned by their peers, they dont want to be snubbed at the bars journalists frequent, they want to fit in. And asking the hard questions about 9/11 is the best way to lose the favor of the herd. Its unfortunate.

But with you Daniel, here we have a shining light in the darkness of complicit silence. I am very grateful that you have claimed 9/11 truth as a cause to support, and that the 9/11 truth movement have in turn accepted you with open arms.

I am looking to the future now with a smile, and I cant wait to see the work that you and Dylan Avery have been putting together.

Thanks again

In a ham and eggs breakfast, the chicken is involved but the pig is committed.

No new news stories this morning.

I just did a google news search on Daniel Sunjata; no new reports since last night.

But when a prominent catholic bishop denied the traditionally accepted extent of the holocaust, boy was Korporate Darling Katie KouriK on the ball to smear 9/11 truth by association (since the bishop is a 9/11 truther as well). Within 24 hours of the holocaust denial hitting the airwaves, Katie says on CBS news: "The bishop who denied the extent of the holocaust and who also believes 911 was a US conspiracy..."

Hey Katie, Daniel Sunjata has a talent you don't have: He can make million$ AND speak his conscience!

thanks

>>Organizations like Medical Professionals for 9/11 Truth (MP911truth.org), Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth (AE911Truth.org), Lawyers for 911 Truth (L911T.com), The Journal of 9/11 Studies (journalof911studies.com), Pilots for 911 Truth (PilotsFor911Truth.org), Fire Fighters for 911 Truth (FireFightersFor911Truth.org), and Veterans for 911 Truth (V911T.org), have posted carefully crafted signing statements for all the world to see, and online petitions calling for a new and independent investigation with power of subpoena.

Yes, and don't forget Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice (STJ911.org) . . .

It's another milestone for truth when a person in the position that Daniel Sunjata is in comes out to speak about what he is speaking about.

Among others, some specially well put statements --

"It would be more apt to compare Nazi propagandists and holocaust deniers to an administration that skewed intelligence about Iraq in order to fear-monger the American people into supporting the doctrine of preemption, while evading the initiation of any official inquiry into the most catastrophic day in our nations history, for 441 days."

"Indeed the logic of context is fundamentally derailed by the prevailing ring-pass-not approach of investigating every area to which 9/11 is crucially relevant and intimately related, while treating the subject itself as sacrosanct."

"My own reasons for speaking out on this issue are fairly simple. I didn’t choose it; it chose me. Upon being hired to act the part of a post-9/11 NYC firefighter on Rescue Me, my research for the character led me to take a more objective look at what actually happened versus what we were told in the wake of the event. [b]Nothing added up.[/b]"

I hope some of this wisdom will reach into the new film as well . . .

Very Impressive

I knew Daniel Sunjata was a 911 Truther, but it comes as a pleasant surprise that he is also one of the movement's great thinkers and spokespersons. With people like Daniel, our victory against the forces supporting truth suppression and myth glorification will be greatly accelerated.

Against the profession

Daniel,
Your bravery expressed both in your character and in your writing make you truly distinguished and not typical of other actors who hide behind their glory and demi-god status to defend the status-quo and reap profits from that position. There's another issue that actors are afraid to speak about and it takes courage to do that as well and that is the Shakespeare authorship issue. People on this site will perhaps know more about this only because of Justice Stevens recent statements in the WSJ, but it is a vexing issue that society is asleep about an obvious fraud perpetrated by dogmatic professors who make a living with obscuranteous untruthful theories, not unlike the government propaganda about 9/11. The parallels are the same. Isn't there a whole industry of professors and scientists making a living telling tall tales about 9/11?

Bring it

Smart Article

Well done Daniel Sunjata.

Support him

I hope a lot of you are part of the "Community" at FX's website for Rescue Me.
I'm, like many others, are sooo impressed & thrilled that Daniel's character is getting this info out through this show. I'm also surprised that only a very few people have posted on the shows website in a negative fashion concerning the 911 subplot.

The "Community" section on the shows website is a great place to educate those new to the issue, those who are still in the dark. I was one of those people until the Spring of 06' when I chanced upon info on the web. We can help these people struggling with this horrible, devastating news. Remember how horrified you felt when you first became aware of the deceit, the ...too many words to describe?

Thanks Daniel for everything you are doing. We know you are putting yourself on the line out there.
However, once you know, you know. Once you know, you have to do something because it is in your soul to do what is right. God bless you and all trurthers.

Mainstream Media Blackout

I don't know why I still hope that something as great as this will get covered on the mainstream media. They have shown us time and again that they have no interest in truth whatsoever (and not just 911 Truth but any truth for that matter!).

I guess this surprises me, the lack of covereage, because they could get the controversy they so love and thrive on. But, of course, like we all know, they are scared of bringing attention to this. They CANT bring attention to this. There HAS to be a point in which it becomes obvious that they are not covering this type of news. A boiling point I suppose. I mean, if we can get this viral like others have suggested, then they have to cover it right? I mean, this celebrity, all these facts, Rescue Me's new subplot, the articles finally in scientific journals, and the NYC CAN! I mean come on! What the hell does it take for the freakin news to cover this?!

It just has to hit the mainstream news soon, it just has to. And when it does, I know we are up against the same Sh*tstorm we saw before with Chalie and the others but, damn, at least get the discussion going!

Daniel

Thank you for this powerful piece and your commitment to truth.

Let's Digg, Reddit, Buzz and spread it everywhere!

Daniel, My Advice

has always been that 9/11 truth activists should bring others with them to media interviews.

So if you know you have an interview coming up, if you can bring with you one high-powered scientist, one high-powered structural engineer, one high-powered former intelligence official, one former NYFD firefighter, etc. all saying 9/11 inside job, it would be BIG.

Thanks for all you do.

As if Obama and the Democrats are going to do anything

Oh that's right I forgot, we can't be concerned with the past! It's all about the future.

Obama and his neoliberal goons are busy taking down the economy while we blame the neocons for everything.
I'm glad Daniel is standing up and speaking out, but we will never achieve freedom if we think that any political party, politician, or government itself is going to rescue us. WE, the people, need to represent ourselves, and take down the entire system. Only then will we have justice, peace, and freedom.

The left right paradigm has been exposed!

I see the two parties as predominantly infested with self-serving, dishonest, pay for play scum.

Realist, you may be right. The system is broken.

Just the same, Daniel is shedding light on the bogus mainstream media, a big player in perpetuating the bullshit.

About one of your old posts

In this comment on the article "Was 10:45 a.m. the Originally Planned Demolition Time of WTC 7?" from shoestring a year ago, you said you spoke to Gretel Kovach, a reporter, who said she heard a countdown at WTC 7.

I'm just curious, but... isn't this the corroborating witness that Kevin McPadden needs? It should be a #1 priority to get this reporter on record!

Has anybody tried (and perhaps failed) already? Are there other corroborating witnesses?

(Does everybody realize how important this is?)

Wow! Good memory SnowCrash!

I haven't followed up on it and should. I think I was vacillating between the importance of what she said and the impact of drawing her into the worldwide 911 Truth discussion. I guess you might say I chickened out. I still have my notes from that day. Maybe now, after all the other things that have happened since then, she may be willing to go on record about what she told me. I am sure she just thought I was just some flunky and wouldn't publish our conversation. Actually, I am just some flunky who would publish our conversation. I will now do what I should have done then. Thanks for the nudge. I needed it.

Actually my memory is like swiss cheese, but ;-)

Just use any help you can get for this. Reprehensor, are you seeing this?

You're right; it is extremely important

Thanks for the eidetic memory--and the original information as well. And, yes, it is extremely important.

Thank you Daniel!

You said it all. This essay is one of the best-written arguments I've seen advocating a new 9/11 investigation.

What a nicely written piece

What a nicely written piece . . . thanks, Daniel, for all that you do.

I posted it on my Facebook page (9/11Bloggers: pls friend me if you're on Fb . . . Quite an amazing group of networking global truthers over there . . . "Betsy Orr Metz") . . . , and I plan on re-posting it every few days . . .

On a separate note, do you have any pull with the Rescue Me writers NOT portraying female 9/11 truth activists as bimbos? :)

All my best -

"Freethinkers are those who are willing to use their minds without prejudice and without fearing to understand things that clash with their customs, privileges, or beliefs. This state of mind is not common, but it is essential for right thinking; where it is absent, discussion is apt to become worse than useless."
-- Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi, Russian writer, 1828 -1910

"One day posterity will remember these strange times, when ordinary common honesty was called courage."
-- Yevgeny Yevtushenko (1933- ) Russian poet 1969

I thought...

I posted a comment here, but apparently I didn't. As I told you in correspondence, good job. Thank you for walking the walk. Also, excellent scenes in Rescue Me. I especially liked the scene along the sidewalk where the gentleman you were with talked about the fear of realization, and why that hinders him. Thank you for everything you're doing.


Do these people deserve to know how and why their loved ones were murdered? Do we deserve to know how and why 9/11 happened?
