The following is a partial statement taken from a broader statement made by Ed which can be found at

"I would like to suggest to you emphatically that the 9-11 truth movement is the most pressing issue of the peace & justice movement today. Here is why. 9-11 has been used to justify "endless war" and a continual rollback in civil liberties that seems to have no end in sight. Yet, 9-11 remains the least examined tragedy in modern American history. Americans would have never agreed to the last two wars and the Patriot Act's disturbing policy . . . had it not been for 9-11.... I fear that if the underlying issues of 9-11 truth are not demanded, that Iraq may be but a flame on an ocean of gasoline that may be used to ignite war after war after war. We cannot, as a peace & justice movement only address the flames. We must look at the fuel being used to justify the flames of war and repression at home and abroad. We must look deeply at the events leading up to, on and since 9-11. We must demand full 9-11 truth." - Ed Asner

That is a great way to reach out to the peace movement!

I have received it from both the highest sources, the lowest sources, and those in between who are associated with the organized Peace Movements in this country that they all have decided that associating with the 9/11 Truth Movement will discredit them.

Clearly those associated with organized Peace Movements are suffering from cognitive dissonance as they seem to think that they are successful, and that the numbers of those opposed to the war are a function of their antiquated tactcs of marches in lieu of the lies and botched stupidity of these wars as seen by average citizens.

You know the marches I'm talking about:

...marches from nowhere...
...marches to nowhere...
...marches in front of nobody...
...marches that are easliy ignored by the corporate press...
...marches that fewer and fewer people are attending...
...marches that inform NOBODY about ANYTHING...
...marches that waste time, money and piss away enthusiasm...
...marches that worked ONCE fourty years ago in the LAST century...
...marches that the youth avoid because they have more MODERN WAYS to be effective making changes...
.
But WE are the nutcases? Breaking through to these groups seems a huge waste of time.

So, since issues of war and peace will last for centuries, I suggest that we continue to commingle our 9/11 Truth messaging and continue using modernized tactics [including CI..Civil Informationing] ADDING the words PEACE and using PEACE SYMBOLS so that we can keep in contact with the younger activist set coming up the ranks. I suggest that we let the old longtooths pass away holding onto their beliefs that they have done their job and that all is OK. And further, I suggest that each 9/11 truth website or organization put into place its own "peace section".

I also recommend that we:

...redouble our efforts at honoring the 11ths of every month...
...perhaps focusing on the closest Sundays to the hard date...
...invite local members of the peace groups to join us in our 9/11 Truth and anti-war street actions ...
...continue to bang away with peaceniks about what we know about false-flag-ops...
...because they STILL have not a clue about the connections between false flags and wars...

Some regular people and peace activists might join us because their next action will most likely be several years away...just before the next war begins to ramp up...as usual!

And, performing some highly visible actions commingling 9/11 Truth and Peace when people are coming and going from their churches is working very well for me right now...and its long overdue.

Love, Peace and Progress...

...and very frusterated with existing Peace Movements...especially the once strong older activists who have tossed in the white towel becoming the EXACT people and organizations that they once OPPOSED back in the 60s and 70s...
