Conspiracy on the run

In his new thriller, “No Place to Run,” Malibu writer Tom Sawyer lays out the mother of all conspiracies. But this is not new territory for the veteran television writer who plots his narrative like a movie script, scene by scene, into a terrifying tale that grabs the reader from page one and never lets up.

As conspiracy theories go, this one is gripping as much for the way the innocent young protagonists are caught in its web as for the fact that it all could have happened just that way.

Before 9/11, my main issue was global economics, particularly the monetary system, and moving us from a debt based war economy towards an honest, transparent, life serving economy. Money seemed to be a major blind spot in the culture. I promoted local currencies, simply to get people to think about money, how it was created, and how it works in our society and the world. I tried three times to start a "community currency" and failed. By some strange miracle, however, Blaine Machan and I teamed up to publish the Deception Dollars which were so popular that they funded the early 9/11 Truth Movement and became a genuine "community currency," at least they helped build and fund the first films, websites, events. People have a hard time resisting money.

The new album by Monsters of Folk, comprised of four frontmen for other groups including Jim James of My Morning Jacket, have crafted a superb album that includes a song with a nod to the 9/11 debate.

The song is called baby boomer here is the relevant section:

"And we gotta stand a little closer
To the lessons that we’ve learned
Is it just a premonition?
Could we really get ourselves both burned?
I’ve been sent here on a mission to find what we agree upon
We don’t agree about September,
Could we agree on Vietnam?"

Check it out, great music.

AM radio 1050 KCAA - Call the DNA Radio Show between 10am-12pm PDT Saturday, Oct 10 - toll-free at 1-888-909-1050

On September 12th during his first stint as DNA guest host, Joe Patrick (shown at left) opened the show and addressed his engineer on the air asking, "is my microphone loud enough? After-all, the truth should be loud and in your face, don't you think?"

Patrick, a self-proclaimed truther and member of 9-11 Truth, returns for "Two Hours of the Truth." Joe believes he's been anointed to deliver an important message. "In the past 2 years a lot of my so-called friends have abandoned me. I have very few left, but that's fine. I know what I've been called to do and I'll pay that price."

"I won't be able to sleep," he says, "until every home in America knows what I know. Only then will we be free. I want all the sheeple to call in, whether you agree with me or not." Joe will have some clips ready to play, featuring well-known conservative radio talk show hosts in addition to some hard-hitting criticism of their opinions that he believes are the product of what he calls corporatocracy.

Do we really know the full truth about what happened on 9/11, the devastating attacks that occurred eight years ago today? Based on my research and assessment of the inquiries that followed that horrific event, I don’t think anyone can claim to know the full truth. But that hasn’t stopped conservatives and know-it-all pundits from demonizing and belittling skeptics of the official 9/11 theory in an aggressive fashion in recent weeks.

The most disturbing example was the truly scary right-wing propagandist Glenn Beck’s successful crusade against Van Jones, forcing his resignation from the Obama Administration mostly for having signed a letter calling for an investigation of whether the Bush Administration ignored warnings about the attacks and then used them to further their foreign policy goals.

At first glance, the scene outside last week's 9/11 Film festival resembled that of any other big, protest-oriented event. Truther organizations such as the Northern California 911 Truth Alliance and Project Censored crammed the lobby of Oakland's Grand Lake Theater, setting up tables with books; DVDs; "Wake Up and Smell the Fascism" bumper stickers; rubber stamps with the slogan "9/11 was an inside job;" pictures of Hendrix, John Lennon, and Mahatma Gandhi; and "Deception dollars." Middle-aged white guys with long hair and tie-dyed shirts milled around the room, greeting each other like old friends. It looked and felt like a typical crowd of rabble-rousers — at least until you listened in on their conversations.

Sheen Challenges 9/11 Truth Debunkers to Larry King Live Debate

Fri Sep 11, 2009 7:00pm EDT

'We're not hiding,' states Sheen as he calls out McCain, Hannity, Limbaugh and
O'Reilly

AUSTIN, Sept. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Appearing on The Alex Jones Show today to
discuss his video address to Barack Obama, Charlie Sheen has challenged those
who have publicly attacked him for speaking out on 9/11, particularly Meghan
McCain, Rush Limbaugh Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly, to debate him on CNN's
Larry King Live.

MEDIA ROOTS- The upcoming anniversary of September 11th brings little solace for the millions of citizens worldwide who have serious questions concerning the official account of what happened that day.

Usually when there is a monumental failure in our government’s ability to protect our nation, a complete investigation immediately ensues. Yet in the case of the 9/11 tragedy, Bush opposed any probe into the attacks for well over a year until mounting pressure from the victim’s family members forced him to address the issue.

Once the 9/11 Commission was finally formed, Philip Zelikow was put on as its executive director. Zelikow also penned the controversial Bush Doctrine, a policy which allowed preemptive invasion of any country in the world if potential for a future threat existed.

Chairman of the commission, Thomas Keane, later charged in a book that the commission was “set up to fail.” Furthermore, Bush and Cheney refused to testify to the Commission separately and under oath. Crucial witness testimony and evidence was also deliberately withheld from most of the commission members.

Another year has passed, and we find ourselves reflecting on the events of September 11th, 2001. Throughout this past year, large strides have been made in the Movement's efforts to bring both closure and much-needed answers surrounding that day to all of those that were affected. The year 2009 brings a new version of our film: Loose Change 9/11 - An American Coup, narrated by Daniel Sunjata. Sunjata’s participation in American Coup provides not just a new voice for the film, but also establishes him as a strong and unwavering spokesperson for the 9/11 Truth Movement, who has even gone so far as to defend his beliefs as the character Franco in the fifth season of FX’s Rescue Me.
