9/11 Truther: The Fight for Peace, Justice and Accountability
Your very own co-founder of 9/11Blogger has finally written a book! '9/11 Truther' details Jon's experiences in the 9/11 truth movement and why it is still vitally important to the welfare of the world that the event be fully investigated for the purposes of justice, accountability, and peace.
Jon is a personal friend of mine whose work I've followed for years. I've often played the role of sounding board for Jon, a man whose early life experiences mirror many of my own.
He is a working class gentleman who has dedicated his life to spreading the message of the Jersey Girls, to doing everything in his power to help the forgotten, neglected, and ailing 9/11 First Responders, and to spreading the ideas and beliefs of many great American icons such as Martin Luther King, Jr and Cindy Sheehan.
Speaking of Cindy Sheehan, she was kind enough to author the foreword to Jons' book. Cindy is an elegant wordsmith. She is a woman that has earned my utmost respect for being consistent, outspoken, and incendiary. She does not disappoint here.
Jon has written a fantastic book. It's part biography, part history lesson, part activist guide-book. It's map and a compass for truth activists who want to make an impact on people. It's a responsible look at the words and actions of the people who have earned the title of 'suspect' for the crimes of 9/11. It is a book that has my absolute endorsement.
And it's coming out SOON, so keep an eye out.
[Mod edit 2/26/12: The book is now available at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/11-Truther-Justice-Accountability-ebook/dp/B007DVDV2S/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=13302740... ]

Hi Jon...nice to be back on at blogger :-)
Well all I can say about this book that everyone will agree on is that it comes from the heart, a big heart! I was lucky enough to get an early copy from Jon prior to publishing so I am able to offer an opinion on it here.
Firstly I am so glad an activist so careful with his support of our cause and who only puts our best evidence forward is the one to do this autobiography of a "9/11 Truther"; especially as he is effectively taking back the term "truther" for the victims and for the fight for justice in my opinion.
The things this book shines for beside honesty, integrity and heart is Jon's story trying to normalise his cause so that the people who had grown to hate us could find the patience to take another look. Jon's subtle determination to break through with people like Cindy Sheehan and the remnants of the Peace Movement for the benefit of the 9/11 victims; past, current and in the future is why this book was worth writing and ultimately why it's worth reading!
As many would be aware Jon and I have had our differences about evidence and method, but I am very proud to call such a great man my friend. He has taught me much over the years through our discussions.
Jon's journey and also for so many of us is one of frustration and of sadness. Fortunately as you will find out reading the book Jon managed to find his true calling and his purpose by his journey. He has grown in so many ways and learnt so much which can help many in understanding why we are so driven for 9/11 Truth and Justice.
I might be wrong but by the end of the book I believe Jon finds himself with no regrets being very happy and satisfied that he did the best he could for our cause.
Until Justice...
Regards John
Jon Gold's book is free to those who can't afford it

A brave heart
and a sound mind are revealed in this book.
Well done, Jon
Well done.
Congratulations Jon
Nobody is perfect and everybody makes mistakes, yet Jon's tireless effort to promote the facts have helped us all. Thank you Jon!
I've learned a lot over the years and one thing I learned is how important maintaining credibility is. Jon is a credible representation of 9/11 truth. Others can learn by example. This would include many of the prominent people that claim to represent 911 truth, starting out good, and ten years later... not so good.
inspirational man
After the transatlantic 1 man civil disobedience demos of Jon at the Whitehouse and G at Downing St i was inspired to take part in Downing St part 2
hats off to u Jon!!
Awesome!
I look forward to reading this.
Thanks for the review and heads up, ZBH.
I don't want to judge a book by its cover, but I really do like the cover (Though I am already thinking it's good due to Jon's history with 9/11 activism and being a "Truther")!
Jon: Thanks for all the work and efforts over the years.
Yes, great cover!
Yes, great cover!
Having read an earlier edit of the book, the content is great too!

More work by Jon that stands out...
This is good to have in debates: http://911truthnews.com/the-facts-speak-for-themselves/
Jon's "Who Is" work is impressive: http://visibility911.com/jongold/?cat=84
9/11 Truth News
I guess that explains why 9/11 Truth News was dormant for 6 months. Good luck with the book.
o.O
I guess it would if Jon ran that site.
??
Anyway, FYI
If that was an honestly inaccurate assumption, the reason 9/11 Truth News has been slow is because the site owner, Cosmos, has been very involved in Occupy Aukland (NZ). It should start picking up steam again soon.
Congratulations Jon
This is great news, I can't wait to read it myself.
Together in Truth

My review, should be posted there soon:
Since 2002, Jon Gold’s* been an activist for truth and justice concerning the 9/11 attacks; a ‘9/11 Truther.’ He doesn’t claim to know the truth about 9/11, and when he’s made mistakes, he’s acknowledged them and moved on. Mainly, Jon has pointed out that those in charge of defending the US constitution and country failed to do so on 9/11, failed to give a credible account of why they failed, and subsequently exploited the attacks to impose a Constitution-subverting national security state and launch wars in geo-strategic regions, which have been enormously profitable for the military-industrial complex. He’s also called attention to the fact that the 9/11 Commission was run by Establishment insiders with conflicts of interest, and that their story about how and why 9/11 happened is contradicted by evidence in the public record, including information in their own report. Jon seeks full disclosure and accountability, for the sake of peace, truth and justice, for the 9/11 victim’s families, for the sick and dying first responders, for all Americans and for the people of the world.
This book is part autobiography and part chronicle of the 9/11 Truth Movement over the last ten years, from Jon’s perspective as a participant. His telling of this story is supported with examples of his writing, as well as communications he’s received from people over the years, both positive and negative. For his efforts to be honest, factual, credible and effective as an activist, he’s been attacked by people who have embraced the official 9/11 story, as well as by people claiming to reject it. On the other hand, his focus has earned him praise and thanks from people who were objective and at first ambivalent regarding accountability for 9/11, but became educated through conversations with him or reading material he’s shared, such as Cindy Sheehan, as well as from sincere activists for truth and justice who he learned from, such as the Jersey Girls. The book is informative and enlightening, and nakedly, emotionally honest. A unique and valuable contribution.
* Disclosure: I know Jon personally, consider him a friend and receive thanks in the book.
Congrats, Jon
History I am sure will look back kindly
By far one of the best
By far one of the best materials produced on the subject. A humble approach by a humble author. Congrat's Jon. I hope everyone who ever touches the subject comes across this.
Just saw this at 911truth.org
In case others have not:
Hello everyone...
Thanks to Nick for posting this to blogger, and for all of the nice comments. After the media ignored the "Who Is Rich Blee?" effort, I had finally had my last straw (my second last straw... the first one was after NYCCAN failed... that's when I joined Cindy and Peace of the Action). In about 2 weeks, I wrote a book. To me, it's just another form of activism, so I didn't dilly dally. My hope for this book is that it helps to bring this extremely legitimate issue back to the table. For "progressives" who don't want their reputations tarnished for being associated with "9/11 Truthers." For those people who listened to what the TV set told them, and think there is nothing to this. Like everything else I've done over the years, I did my absolute best. I hope that people take the time to read it. I also hope that people share it with others. In order for this book to make a difference, people need to be aware of it. As Erik said above, if you can't afford it, let me know and I'll take care of it. I've been getting a tremendous amount of praise from people. Especially from people who had no idea. Again, please take the time to read it, and please share it. Thanks.
Here are the reviews so far.

The highest rank its gotten so far is #14 in Practical Politics...
Cindy says, "Inside job"
Hopefully, Cindy Sheehan's statements about 9/11 being an inside job represent a new realization by the peace movement that the lie that is the basis for the wars of the last decade and for the loss of many of our rights is the Achilles heel of the builders and keepers of the fear society.
