• WE'RE BACK!: Thank you for bearing with us for the past two months since we last updated.  It has been a hectic and difficult period for us and we were unable to edit the site sadly.

  The plan that is being put forward is to work solely on our main website cremationofcare.com (for the time being) and drastically amend the layout of the CofC homepage and have more of a traditional blog style similar to Jack Blood's website deadlinelive.info (thanks to webmaster Kristen for promoting this idea).

  For the time being, 911truthskipton.com will remain static, however all 911 Truth related info will be added to the headlines in the new format at cremationofcare.com.  Please check back there in the next week or so as we are aiming to have something new put together by then.

• Video Surfaces Of 9/11 Commissioner Referring To “Missile” At Pentagon: Misinterpretation, slip of the tongue of deliberate disinformation? - An interesting video originating from the last anniversary of 9/11 has surfaced in the last couple of days and is currently doing the rounds on various video websites. The video features a segment of a CNN interview with 9/11 Commission member Tim Roemer during which he declares that the attack on the Pentagon came from a “missile”. Roemer quickly corrects himself: “Seeing one of our fortresses pried open by a missile… airplane, thinking about the number of people that died….”. Roemer states.

• Waterboarding of 9/11 Mastermind Saved American Lives, Bush Says – Critics call it torture, but on Sunday, President George W. Bush said he “firmly” rejects the term. He said the interrogation techniques used on some al Qaeda detainees during his presidency were lawful and “necessary” to get information that ended up saving American lives. “One such person who gave us information was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed” -- the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, Bush told “Fox News Sunday.” Vice President Dick Cheney recently admitted that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was one of three individuals subjected to waterboarding.

• REMAINS OF 9/11 KILLERS FOUND - FORENSIC investigators have recovered the charred remains of most of the 9/11 hijackers - to honour a pledge that they would never be buried with the victims. The £30million CSI-style probe has taken seven years. Flesh or bone from 13 of the 19 Al Qaeda terrorists who flew passenger jets into the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon in Washington have now been identified. In the most intense crime scene investigation in history, scientists sifted through a mountain of concrete dust, buckled iron and shattered glass to find what was left of the terrorists. The final tally was 24lb of burnt flesh and shattered bone. A combination of dedicated FBI detective work and the brilliant skills of forensic scientists eventually put names to the fragments by matching them with DNA traces discovered at the terrorists’ hideouts. The high temperatures generated as the jet fuel exploded meant many of the 2,974 victims and some of their killers were all but atomised in the attacks.

• MULTIMEDIA: The Alex Jones Show - L I V E - Jan. 2 With Bob Chapman & Robert Wanek - Alex kicks off the New Year. Guests include Bob Chapman of the International Forecaster who will talk about the economy and Robert Wanek, the student who had his 9/11 truth t-shirt censored in the high school yearbook.

• FDNY Lieutenant Admitted Plan To ‘Take Down’ WTC 7: Reinforcing conviction that Silverstein was referring to demolition with infamous comments on PBS documentary - Newly uncovered video from 9/11 featuring an interview with FDNY lieutenant David Rastuccio on MSNBC confirms that there was a plan to deliberately demolish WTC Building 7, as was originally indicated in Larry Silverstein’s infamous statement on the PBS documentary, America Rebuilds. In the clip, Rastuccio responds to the host’s statement that “You guys knew this was coming all day,” by stating, “We had first reports that the building was unstable and that it was best for it to come down on its own or it would be taken down, I would imagine that it came down on its own.” Though Rastuccio expresses his opinion that the building had collapsed without the aid of explosives, he admits that a plan had been in place to deliberately demolish the structure.

• Columnist Robert Novak among first to link 9-11 and "inside job" - A review of early newspaper reports on 9-11 reveals many surprises, including Robert Novak's comments on the possibility that the 9-11 "terrorists" were assisted by government insiders. PETER'S NEW YORK, December 27, 2008--Married as we seem to be to the digital age, it is a great comfort to be able to occasionally resort to "hard copy," tangible pieces of inked paper upon which much of the literary wealth of the world is recorded. Recently, while searching my "hard copy" archives, I came across some issues of the New York Times and New York Post published within days of the events of September 11, 2001. It is interesting to observe that what are often referred to by defenders of the government's 9-11 storyline as "conspiracy theories" were first articulated by mainstream commentators and experts. What follows are a few snippets of 9-11 related material gleaned from these early accounts. Interestingly, columnist Robert Novak was among the first to use the phrase "inside job" in connection with the events of 9-11.

• Conservative crowd cheers when Palin mentions 9/11, Iraq - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin charged through in Georgia today to campaign on behalf of incumbent Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss, throwing off sparks among the political press corps and likening the Republican run-off candidate to her onetime running mate Sen. John McCain. But perhaps more startling than Chambliss’ decision to use Palin — who was seen as having a deleterious effect on Sen. John McCain’s campaign — is the reaction of a crowd that greeted her in Georgia. When she said, “fellow soldiers, they’re down at Fort Benning graduating from boot camp and then on Sept. 11 beat the road to Iraq,” the crowd cheered.

• Obama told US faces 'new 9/11' - BARACK Obama was yesterday warned the US faces a terror attack a hundred times worse than 9/11 within five years. The incoming president was urged to halt the spread of nukes and stop fanatics getting hold of biological weapons. Former senator Bob Graham, who led a probe by Congress, said of the threat: “It would be 9/11 times ten or a hundred.”

• Nominee Would Lead ID Program She Opposed - As governor of Arizona, Janet Napolitano, President-elect Barack Obama’s choice for homeland security secretary, pledged that her state would not cooperate with a major domestic security initiative, the Real ID drivers’ license program. The program, which she would direct if confirmed as secretary, imposes stringent requirements on states for confirming the identity and legal residency of people who want drivers’ licenses. Ms. Napolitano said the law would impose huge costs on the states without reimbursement from Washington. In June, she signed into law a bill that forbids Arizona from cooperating with the federal requirements. The state law had no immediate effect, because Arizona already had a federal waiver allowing it to delay enactment until 2009. Last year, as the chairwoman of the National Governors Association, Ms. Napolitano testified before a Senate committee that the program would cost the states $11 billion. Since then, Congress has appropriated $100 million to meet some of the costs. Real ID follows the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission; it was passed without hearings or debate, attached to a mostly unrelated bill.

• The Debate Over 9/11 Truth - Jon Gold & ScrewLooseChange - This is a documentary commentary on 9/11 Truth and the 9/11 Debate: Jon Gold Vs. Pat Curley, which took place November 24, 2008 on the Franklin Pierce University closed circuit television show, “The Dynamic Duo”, was moderated the show's hosts Justin Martell and Eric Jackman, and is now on youtube. The topics of the debate were: 1. Are there unanswered questions? 2. Was the 9/11 Commission a legitimate investigation?

• Microsoft Corporation Censors 9/11 Dissent - Xbox Live is an online multiplayer gaming and digital media delivery service created and operated by Microsoft Corporation. They refer this platform as “the Ultimate Broadband Gaming Experience,” accessible on the Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles. After reaching 10 Million users, I decided to change my GamerTag (GT) to disseminate 9/11 truth to the console gaming world. About a a month ago, I changed my GT to www911TRUTHorg. Utilizing the headset, every time I entered a new game lobby I spoke to the other users in the “room” about the 9/11 Truth Movement. The responses varied: most people ridiculed or mocked the GT, while the others either commented with approval/praise, or said nothing at all. Either way, BOTH the nay-sayers and fellow truthers listened to what I had to say. In fact, many times the conversation of the game would revolve entirely around 9/11, the Global War on Terror, corporate war profiteering, the destruction of our civil liberties, etc… It was a great method of cyber-activism, until Microsoft caught on!

• Cynthia McKinney Prevented From Leaving U.S.: Former congresswoman stopped from boarding plane in Atlanta - Former Congresswoman and presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney has been prevented from leaving the country after she planned to give a speech in Damascus Syria at a Conference being held to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. “Today, November 23rd, I was slated to give remarks in Damascus, Syria at a Conference being held to commemorate the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and, sadly, the 60th year that the Palestinian people have been denied their Right of Return enshrined in that Universal Declaration. But a funny thing happened to me while at the Atlanta airport on my way to the Conference: I was not allowed to exit the country,” writes McKinney. “I do believe that it was just a misunderstanding,” she adds, though why a well known former Georgia congresswoman who represented Atlanta, the city in which she was born, would not be allowed to board a plane raises disturbing questions. Has McKinney been put on a terrorist watch list merely for speaking out in support of 9/11 first responders and passionately questioning the official 9/11 story? As many will recall, McKinney was perhaps the first major public figure to doubt the official version of events way back in 2002, which at the time was tantamount to treason. McKinney has since become a vocal advocate for the 9/11 truth movement and appeared at numerous 9/11 truth conference and events.

• America Was Informed Of 9/11 America was informed of the attack by Egyptian and Russian agents: Several meetings were postponed at WTC - Nobody has been charged or punished for ignoring the alleged warnings about the attack on the “Twins”, the WTC on September 11, 2001 yet. Who knew and how did the USA react, i.e. why did it not react? Hosni Mubarak, Egyptian President, claims the Egyptian secret services warned their American colleagues at the beginning of September 2001 that al Qaeda was preparing an air strike on an American target, on American territory.

• The 2000 Cole bombing: Warm-up for the 9/11 false flag attack?: Connect the dots - There was no DNA evidence linking the Moslem patsies to it, there were no traceable boat parts, friendly vessels "just happened" to be close by, the ship was quickly sent back to the US for repair with no real investigation, there was no video from the destroyer itself despite all of its high security, alleged Yemeni CCTV video doesn't even show the explosion, the armed sentries were all on stand down and could only have fired first with orders from the captain or another officer, the bombs went off near the galley at lunchtime, the very hallmark of an inside job, many eyewitnesses and the mainstream media were clearly in on it (some even reported that the sailors on deck were talking with the Moslem patsies on the alleged boat before the bombs went off, and you can't converse with a hologram), the June, 2001 video of bin Laden bragging about it is an obvious fake, FBI agents were rushed over there to start the cover-up operation immediately, and the friendly Yemeni government didn't even have any alleged acomplices to turn over to us and isn't holding any of them now, proving that we tried to frame them.

• Howard Zinn: “I Don’t Care” If 9/11 Was An Inside Job: Another gatekeeper illustrates the intellectual cowardice of the establishment left - World renowned peace activist and left-wing anti-war icon Howard Zinn recently told an audience that he didn’t care if 9/11 was an inside job, echoing the disdainful and apathetic rhetoric of fellow liberal gatekeepers Noam Chomsky and Alexander Cockburn in dismissing the efforts of the 9/11 truth movement. Buddy Moore, Independent Candidate for US Senate in Colorado, asked Zinn if he would join him in voicing doubts about the official 9/11 story and in particular the demolition of the twin towers and Building 7. Zinn said he was skeptical of the official story but then stated, “I don’t know much about the situation and the truth is, I don’t care that much about it, that’s passed….that’s a diversion from what we really have to do,” adding that debating who was behind 9/11, “gets in the way of dealing with the immediate situation”. Moore attempted to ask Zinn a follow up question about allowing the perpetrators to go free but was largely shouted down by Zinn’s fawning army of left-wing sycophants.

• 9/11 Hero Dog Dies From Cancer: Canine Was Sacramento Fire Department Search Dog - Ana, an accomplished Sacramento Fire Department search dog, has died of cancer. She died at 8:15 p.m. Wednesday at Fire Station No. 56 -- where she was usually the only girl -- after spending her last day on the job, Capt. Jim Doucette said.

• 9/11: More than meets the eye: Discussion of the very real doubts over the World Trade Center attacks was conspicuously absent from the US presidential race. But America's international image will always be tainted as long as the uncertainty remains - Every so often attention is called anew to the doubts surrounding the true character of the events surrounding the 9/11 attacks. Recently, the report of the collapse of Building 7 represented such an occasion. Any close student of 9/11 is aware of the many serious discrepancies between the official version of what took place and the actual happenings on that fateful day in 2001. David Ray Griffin and others have analyzed and assessed these discrepancies in such an objective and compelling fashion that only wilful ignorance can maintain that the 9/11 narrative should be treated as a closed book, and that the public should move on to address the problems of the day.

• David Ray Griffin Debunks Popular Mechanics: YouTube Video - David Ray Griffin talks about Popular Mechanics’ 9/11 debunking at a 9/11 Truth Conference in Osaka, Japan on November 1, 2008.

• Lawyers for 9/11 Truth - An impressive, if small, group of lawyers has signed a petition calling for 9/11 truth at a new website called Lawyers for 9/11 Truth, at http://www.L911T.com. If you know any judges, law professors or attorneys open to 9/11 truth, send them that way.

• Attack on 'Truthers' who question 9/11 failed to address their issues - I appreciate The Province printing an article by National Post columnist Jonathan Kay about 9/11 and conspiracy theorists. Most papers are too afraid to talk about the conspiracy theories that abound yet Kay admits "39 per cent of Canadians either reject or doubt the official explanation for the 9/11 attacks." Nevertheless, I am somewhat disappointed that Kay wrote an article stating that the Truthers' conclusions are wrong and their concerns are nonsense without citing a single fact.

• Senior Corporate Executives Warned to Leave N.Y. on 9/11 - Foreign Policy Journal has learned that senior executives of a major U.S. international corporation may have been warned to leave New York on September 11, 2001. According to an inside source, one of the senior executives of the corporation told him beforehand that “something big” was going to occur and so other corporate executives would be travelling out of New York.

• Debunking the 9/11 “Dust” Theory - Some peripheral folks in the 9/11 truth movement claim that exotic high-energy weapons were used to bring down the Twin Towers. The overwhelming majority of credible scientists, engineers and others in the movement do not believe this. The proponents of the star wars weapons theory argue that video footage shows metal spires “turning to dust”, which they think proves that futuristic weapons were used. Many of us have pointed out that the spires actually fell down, and that dust from the pulverized concrete simply fell off the spires as they were falling, hiding the fact that the spires were falling and creating the visual illusion that the spires were “turning to dust”.

• Only a 9/11 can prevent Obama's victory - Everybody on American television is being very polite on the eve of this historic US presidential election. In an increasingly desperate attempt to keep the race competitive, normally candid commentators are still treating both Barack Obama and John McCain as potential winners. It's a bit like an Antrim v Kerry all-Ireland football final where RTE's commentators keep mapping out surreal scenarios where the underdog can win. Rather than best election etiquette, in some cases the coyness is prompted by superstition and a fear of putting a jinx on the favourite.

• Members of Israeli spy ring 'related to 9/11 hijacker': 'Lebanon is an open theater for espionage' - Two men arrested for running an Israeli spy ring in the Bekaa Valley are relatives of a suicide hijacker who piloted a plane in the September 11, 2001, attacks, a security source told The Daily Star on Sunday. The Lebanese Army announced on Saturday that it had arrested two people suspected of involvement with a spy network that gathered information for Israel's intelligence services.

• Previously unreleased 9/11 video footage of WTC7 and North Tower spire posted on Veoh - Some previously unreleased videos of the North Tower collapse, with a long shot on the “spire”, and a slightly different angle of WTC7. Posted on Veoh, 10.31.2008. (Footage is bigger at source pages: North Tower - WTC7.

• The Phantom USA Today Building Fire and the Evacuation of Arlington’s ‘Twin Towers’ on 9/11 - In a recent interview, Assistant Chief James Schwartz of the Arlington County Fire Department (ACFD) revealed an intriguing detail relating to the 9/11 Pentagon attack. Just before the Pentagon was hit, ACFD responded to alarms going off at the USA Today building, located a few miles from there. Yet it is unclear whether there was actually any fire. Other evidence indicates that, as a result of this alarm, when the Pentagon was hit a significant number of fire and medical units were already on the road nearby and available to quickly respond to the attack. Curiously, the two buildings of the USA Today complex were known as the “Twin Towers.”

• VIDEO: FOX NEWS: " We Need Another 9/11" - Broadcast on Fox News (August 2007), Columnist Stu Bykofsky claims that America needs a new 9/11 to unite the American people, because they have "forgotten" who the enemy is. He also claims that "there will be another 9/11", and Fox News Anchorman concurs: "Does this columnist have a valid point?" "its going to take a lot of dead people to wake people up." "Another attack on America is inevitable"

• Political Renegades: Gov. Ventura and Willie Nelson challenge two-party stranglehold: Ventura: Patriots must hold government’s ‘feet to the fire’ or else it goes bad /// Nelson: Government should have bailed out family farms, not Wall Street - IN EXCLUSIVE VIDEO, legendary music icon Willie Nelson meets up with former Governor Jesse Ventura and Alex Jones to discuss the implications of the 2008 Election, the effects of widespread economic downturn and lingering questions about 9/11.

• Sarah Palin Supports New 9/11 Investigation: Alaska Governor gives unexpected answer during Ohio rally - John McCain’s presidential running mate Sarah Palin, much to the bewilderment of the 9/11 truth community, seemingly expressed support for a new investigation into the terrorist attacks during a rally in Ohio last week. Asked by We Are Change Ohio, “Do you support the family members and first responders who are calling for a new 9/11 investigation?,” Palin responded, “I do.” “I do because I think that helps us get to the point of never again, and if anything that we could do could still complete that reminder out there,” the Alaska Governor added. Palin was aware of the context because she then asked the cameraman if he had been affected by 9/11. Of course, one would have to be incredibly naive to think that Palin, at best a befuddled Republican poster child and at worst another establishment Neo-Con, would follow through on her support and back a new 9/11 investigation should John McCain snatch victory from the jaws of defeat and take the White House.

• 9/11 Hero William Rodriguez on UK Sky News 21/10/2008 - William Rodriguez is currently in the UK, and is doing some media along the way. This was broadcast on Tuesday the 21st of October, 2008.

• BBC Set To Air Third Smear Attack On 9/11 Truth: Broadcaster re-hashes WTC 7 hit piece in latest desperate attempt to discredit doubters of the official story - The BBC is set to launch a third savage smear attack on the 9/11 truth movement by rehashing a now thoroughly debunked program that it first aired in July of this year. Having taken its rightful place alongside Popular Mechanics and The History Channel as one of the 21st century’s most plentiful peddlers of yellow journalism with their first 9/11 hit piece last year, “Auntie Beeb” had another crack at the whip on July 6th when it aired a documentary about the collapse of WTC Building 7, the 47-storey skyscraper that imploded into its own footprint on 9/11 without being hit by a plane, called “The Third Tower”.

• WeAreChangeLA ‘debriefs’ former CIA Case Officer Robert Baer about apparent Mossad and White House 9/11 foreknowledge, and more - On October 16, 2008, Robert Baer, who was a CIA Case Officer in the Middle East over the course of almost two decades, participated in a discussion at the Hammer Museum entitled “A Third War: The Threat of War with Iran.” Dr. Trita Parsi was part of the discussion which was moderated by Ian Masters.

• Another sneering hit piece on 9/11 Truth from Mike Rudin & The BBC: Caught up in a conspiracy theory - I've just been sent a video on the net which accuses me of being "Eurotrash" and of producing a "hit piece" about 9/11. Almost inevitably I've been enmeshed in the ever growing net of the conspiracy theory. They've added my name to a long list of imagined conspirators - the secret services, police, people who worked in the building, first responders, the fire service, city officials...and also those who they think have deliberately set out to cover up this huge conspiracy - the official investigators, the world's media... Last month we were in New York to film the seventh anniversary of 9/11 at Ground Zero for a new programme about the allegation of a conspiracy to deliberately destroy the three skyscrapers at the World Trade Centre. "The Conspiracy Files: 9/11 - The Truth Behind The Third Tower" is to be broadcast at 9pm on BBC Two on Sunday 26th October 2008.

COMMENTARY: The last 9/11 related Conspiracy Files show that aired on the BBC a (few months ago) was hugely debunked, much of the material is available in our own archives - see the bottom of the page.  To those new to this subject or to those who consider themselves on the fence, please don't be 'suckered' in by the authoritative sounding tone of Rudin and the BBC.  The corporation is 'in deep' with the same corrupt system that carried out 9/11 and the subsequent whitewash.  Their lies have been so blatant and exposed many times over by this stage.  We have been threatened, cheated and attacked for challenging the official story... don't let them get away with this.  Investigate 9/11 and then wake up others.

• Former MI5 chief Stella Rimington claims 9/11 response was 'huge overreaction' - Former chief of MI5, Stella Rimington has claimed that the response to the September 11 2001 attacks was a "huge overreaction" and described the events as just "another terrorist incident". She said the attacks by al-Qaeda were "qualitatively different from any others" and criticised Home Secretary Jacqui Smith for making national security a partisan issue. In a wide-ranging interview, Rimington, who was the first-ever female, publicly named head of MI5 and retired 12 years ago, also said the war on terror in Iraq had influenced young British men to turn to terrorism. 'I suppose I'd lived with terrorist events for a good part of my working life and this was as far as I was concerned another one. 'It was huge, and horrible, and seemed worse because we all watched it unfold on television, So yes, 9/11 was bigger, but not qualitatively different', she told the Guardian newspaper. Attacking the home secretary, Dame Rimington said: 'National security has become much more of a political issue than it ever was in my day. 'Parties are tending to use it as a way of trying to get at the other side. You know, "We're more tough on terrorism than you are." I think that's a bad move, quite frankly.'

• Alleged - The Critical 9/11 Word - An article to raise awareness that the 9/11 hijackers are never referred to as alleged terrorists, whereas, they should be. If they were referred to as such, that would open up a wider range of possibilities for consideration when assessing the ramifications of that terrible event. Journalists, or people in general, bend over backwards to modify any reference to persons charged with a crime with the single word-alleged. Yet, in the case of persons who otherwise would have been alleged perpetrators in a crime, but because they are no longer alive and no case will go to trial, then no legal need exists to make sure to use that particular word. Then, it is so easy to either include or exclude this word depending on one's point of view on the bigger matter at hand.

• USA Knew About 9/11 Two Years Earlier! - With their huge intelligence network, the USA did not manage to stop the WTC attacks, even by overstepping all possible authorities. James Bamford reveals some shocking facts in his latest book “The Shadow Factory”, of which the most innocent allegations are those of wiretapping and violating the privacy of Americans. The claim that is stressed the most is that the secret services, first and foremost the “No Such Agency” (as the NSA is sometimes ironically called), knew about the perpetrators of the September 11 attacks two years before the attacks were carried out. Not only that, but that the attackers were in the “backyard” of the NSA and that is where they carried out their calls that were recorded and which were easily traced. In an interview published on Democracy Now!, Amy Goodman, a well known American investigative journalist, talked with James Bamford, the author of numerous books about the American secret services, which covered the activities of the NSA for the last three decades.

• 9/11 in 33 Minutes: Determining the Official Story Cannot Be True: 9/11 in 33 minutes: the best video summary of the 9/11 news stories that haven't been covered in the mainstream press - Seven years after 9/11, debate about who was involved in the attacks remains as contentious as ever. Despite Osama Bin Laden being popularly named as the prime suspect, the FBI to this day does not have him listed on their Most Wanted list for 9/11. By the FBI's own admission, there is "no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11". So who was responsible? We still don't know, but the evidence available does prove one thing: the official story cannot be true.

• FBI Prevents Agents from Telling ‘Truth’ About 9/11 on PBS - The FBI has blocked two of its veteran counterterrorism agents from going public with accusations that the CIA deliberately withheld crucial intelligence before the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. FBI Special Agents Mark Rossini and Douglas Miller have asked for permission to appear in an upcoming public television documentary, scheduled to air in January, on pre-9/11 rivalries between the CIA, FBI and National Security Agency.

• Critic says Bush post-9/11 spending strategy led to Wall Street crisis - After terrorists struck on 9/11, killing 3,000 people and shaking Americans to their core, President Bush launched a "war on terror" but told consumers to keep on spending. "Get down to Disney World in Florida," he said two weeks after the attack. "Take your families and enjoy life, the way we want it to be enjoyed." Now, a professor of history and international relations at Boston University is arguing that in encouraging spending instead of sacrifice as the nation went to war first in Afghanistan and later in Iraq, Bush fueled a binge of credit card spending.

• The Ultimate 9/11 'Truth' Showdown: David Ray Griffin vs. Matt Taibbi - A poll of 17 countries that came out September of this year revealed that majorities in only nine of them "believe that al Qaeda was behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States." A Zogby poll from 2006 found that in America, 42% of respondents believed the US government and 9/11 Commission "covered up" the events of 9/11. It's safe to say that at least tens of millions of Americans don't believe anything close to the official account offered by the 9/11 Commission, and that much of the outside world remains skeptical. Over the years, AlterNet has run dozens of stories, mostly critical, of the 9/11 Movement. Matt Taibbi has taken on the 9/11 Truth Movement head on in a series of articles, and most recently in his new book, The Great Derangement. In April, I asked Taibbi if he would be interested in interviewing David Ray Griffin, a leading member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth & Justice, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Theology at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University and author of seven of books on 9/11, about his recent book, 9/11 Contradictions. After months of back and forths between them and some editorial delays, I'm pleased to share their written exchange -- all 24,000 words of it. What we have here are the preeminent writers on both sides of the 9/11 Truth argument; a one-of-a-kind debate. Because the questions and responses are quite long, I've woven them together in order. Enjoy.

• Who dares to question the 'Big Lie of 9/11'? - What exactly happened on Sept. 11, 2001? Did the Twin Towers fall because of terrorism or have we been duped by the “Big Lie of 9/11”? An avid debate on that question broke out on our letters page last week, in reaction to the dismissal of Lesley Hughes, a Liberal candidate and 9/11 skeptic. Some readers sided with her. “Numerous military, intelligence and government insiders have gone on record rejecting the official account,” wrote Inge Hanle. “So have firefighters, veterans and scientists. With several U.S. senators now daring to take on the issue, it’s high time for the Post and other media cogs to open your eyes to the lies.”

• 9/11 truth movement continues to grow - There will be a test. All students and faculty will be tested over their research concerning this issue. We have all been fooled. We have been duped concerning the truth surrounding the events of Sept. 11, 2001. Science does not lie, but the government does. The evidence is unimpeachable, but the media censors. Thoroughly investigate “9/11 Truth.” This is probably one of the most important issues of your life and your country. Don’t muff it. You had better ask yourself why you have not seen ALL of the videos and information surrounding the collapse of Building 7. Watch ALL the videos concerning Building 7, including: the BBC story which announced that the building had already collapsed 20 minutes prior to its actual collapse; the collapse angle shots; the many eyewitnesses who heard the countdown or knew that the building was about to “blow up” or heard explosions; the order from the owner of the building to “pull it”; the full Barry Jennings interview where he cites bombs going off in Building 7 prior to the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers, and how the stairwell was blown-out beneath Barry’s feet.

• Dion sacks Winnipeg candidate over 9/11 beliefs - Liberal Leader Stephane Dion has asked Lesley Hughes, the party's candidate in the Winnipeg riding of Kildonan-St. Paul, to step down following controversial reports of Hughes's belief in conspiracy theories alleging the U.S. government was behind the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks and that Israeli businesses had advance warnings. While I appreciate her apology, I cannot condone those sentiments in any way," Dion said. "I have, therefore, asked Ms. Hughes to step down as the Liberal Party candidate in Kildonan-St. Paul." Dion originally defended his candidate, accusing NDP Leader Jack Layton of attracting Sept. 11 conspiracists.

• Internet attacks on 9/11 Truth intensify - Internet censorship is once again in the news after legendary YouTube user Nuffrespect posted a new video detailing the latest online attack on 9/11 Truth: a user who is creating clones of respected user accounts and truth movement leaders in order to smear 9/11 Truth by posting racist comments. These have already led to the deletion of several well-known accounts in what has been revealed as a coordinated effort to eliminate 9/11 Truth from YouTube. This is in addition to the news that YouTube deleted a number of videos and accounts last week at the behest of Senator Joe Lieberman. That CNET admits these videos were removed as a direct result of Lieberman’s staff’s request is significant, as it was Lieberman who has been urging YouTube to take down “radicalizing” terrorist propaganda since May of this year to bring it into compliance with H.R. 1955, a bill that is currently awaiting approval by the Senate and which would criminalize all dissent of the government. That H.R. 1955 will specifically target the 9/11 Truth community is made obvious by a presentation made to the House Homeland Security Subcommittee in 2007 on “Terrorism and the Internet” which actually listed 9/11 Truth sites alongside terrorist jihad sites as examples of terrorist propaganda on the internet.

• Key Witness to WTC 7 Explosions Dead at 53: Emergency coordinator and 9/11 witness Barry Jennings has passed away with controversy about WTC7 still hot– as the BBC hit piece and NIST report have been released to counter Jennings’ exclusive testimony of explosions inside Building 7 - NYC Housing Authority spokesman Howard Marder has now officially confirmed that Barry Jennings indeed passed away approximately a month ago after several days in the hospital, matching confirmations from several other employees at the Housing Authority. Marder commented that Jennings was a great man, well liked by everyone at the Housing Authority, and that he would be missed. No other details were available.

• McKinney compares 9/11 truthers with civil rights activists at benefit - Cynthia McKinney, Green Party Presidential candidate, talks at a benefit for 9/11 First Responders, comparing 9/11 truthers with 1960s-era civil rights activists– who would stand their ground to do the right thing in spite of fire hoses, police abuse, intimidation, and etc. A disproportionate number of First Responders are ill as a result of the toxic conditions at the 9/11 site. The Gov’t does not acknowledge the toxic conditions nor is it offering significant support to the First Responders or their survivors.

• Apocalypse Now?: New world order could have devastating implications for Western nations - Almost exactly seven years ago Al Qaeda terrorists targeted their hijacked planes into the Twin Towers at the heart of New York’s financial centre — and the world was transformed. There were no deaths this week, but the effects of the carnage on the financial markets will be far more profound and destabilising than the 9/11 atrocity. For almost all of us, it will, I predict, be a change for the worse, and for a large minority the consequences will be extremely distressing.

• Tony Blair takes the jokes as TV host Jon Stewart mocks his stance on Bush and the war in Iraq - In the face of a mocking host and a hostile studio audience, Tony Blair defended the war in Iraq and his friendship with President Bush on one of America’s top satirical TV shows. The former Prime Minister told Jon Stewart, of The Daily Show, that he had no second thoughts about the Iraq invasion, and that he liked Mr Bush as well as agreeing with him on world security threats.

• It's the creepy plotters who rule us we should really be scared of - There is no such organisation as ‘Al Qaeda’. The spooks know this, Cabinet Ministers know this and so do the ‘security correspondents’ who so readily trot out the spooks’ point of view on our broadcasting networks. Of course, there are terrorists, and there are also fantasists, fanatics, low-lifes and camp followers who plot and attempt horrible things. Some of them even call themselves ‘Al Qaeda’ these days because they have learned that this is a good way to scare us. But, while they are a menace, they are not as big or as organised a menace as the Government likes to make out.

• Russian Poll: 84% Say Truth About 9/11 Being Deliberately Hidden - A new poll from a major Russian news outlet reveals that 84% believe that the truth behind the 9/11 attacks is being deliberately hidden by the U.S. government. At time of writing, the poll on the Russia Today website indicates that only 16% of readers feel that the 9/11 Commission report represents the full extent of the evidence as to who carried out the attacks over seven years ago. The 84% figure mirrors almost exactly that of similar polls conducted in 2006 and 2004.

• “Unusual Magnetic Forces” Should Not Have Caused the Twin Towers to Collapse - First it was the “new phenomenon” of “thermal expansion”. Now, Sergei Dudarev, of the UK Atomic Energy Agency, says the Twin Towers collapsed due to “unusual magnetic forces“.

• On Morning Of 9/11 Attacks, McCain Immediately Began Making The Case For Iraq War - On the morning of the 9/11, just moments after the World Trade Center collapsed from the terrorist strikes, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) went on television and immediately began focusing the nation’s attention on Iraq. In an interview with CBS’ Dan Rather on 9/11, McCain said: To be honest with you, Dan, I never thought that an operation of this sophistication and size would take place. I just never did. But I don’t think there’s any doubt that there are countries — Iraq, Iran, Libya, North Korea and others — who we know engage in proliferation of — of capabilities and, from time to time, involve themselves in state-sponsored terrorism. But never did we imagine on a scale such as this. The next day, on 9/12, McCain reiterated the point in an interview with Chris Matthews. “It isn’t just Afghanistan,” he said, “we’re talking about Syria, Iraq, Iran, perhaps North Korea, Libya and others.”

• Global Poll: Less Than Half Believe Al-Qaeda Behind 9/11: Majority of people surveyed in 17 different countries have doubts about official story - A new global poll conducted across 17 countries has found that less than half of those surveyed believe Al-Qaeda was behind the 9/11 attacks, with a full 15 per cent believing that the terrorist outrage was directly perpetrated by the U.S. government. On the eve of the 7th anniversary of 9/11, the poll underscores how a majority of people still do not buy the official story, despite numerous attempts to reinforce the explanation that 19 hijackers at the behest of Osama bin Laden were the culprits behind the plot. “The survey of 16,063 people in 17 nations found majorities in only nine countries believe al Qaeda was behind the attacks on New York and Washington that killed about 3,000 people in 2001,” reports Reuters.

• DISCLAIMER: 9/11 TRUTH GRAFFITI IN SKIPTON: -

We have been made aware that someone has placed a sticker saying '9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB' on a mail box on Skipton High Street and that a few other messages have been seen around town today, presumably for the 7th anniversary.  

These kind of incidents do happen and we respect the fact that there are people out there that would risk getting into trouble to wake up others (there is a 'but' coming!). But... we would like to remind all those visiting our website that the Truth Movement is an organic movement and we do not know every individual in Skipton who shares the same views as us.  

We do NOT encourage others to place such stickers in public places where legal repercussions are possible!  See our Disclaimer.

• Dear Reporter: Looking for a Story about 9/11? - If you’re looking for a story for the 7th anniversary of 9/11, you can interview one of the following people: A 9/11 Commissioner, A Congress member, A military leader, An intelligence professional, A scientist, A structural engineer or architect, A legal scholar...

• US marks seventh 9/11 anniversary - New York has paused to remember the collapse of the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001 - an attack that killed nearly 3,000 people. Four moments of silence have been held to mark the times when four hijacked passenger planes hit the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field. President Bush dedicated a new memorial at the Pentagon, where 184 died. "The worst day in America's history saw some of the bravest acts in America's history," he said.

• French Comic Forced To Apologise For Citing 9/11 Theories - France’s favourite stand-up comedian has been forced to apologise for claiming that the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the US seven years ago tomorrow were an “enormous lie” orchestrated by the American government. The allegations by Jean-Marie Bigard have caused consternation in France because the comedian - who specialises in foul-mouthed, scatological and sexist humour - is a close friend of President Nicolas Sarkozy. On a radio show last Friday, the comedian interrupted a discussion on American politics, to say that it was “absolutely sure and certain” that the US government had stage-managed the 9/1l attacks in which 2, 896 people died.

• 9/11 Truth group is incorrectly portrayed : Bloomington 9/11 Working Group - Thanks for covering David Ray Griffin’s presentation on 9/11 at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater on Labor Day evening. Unfortunately, your article contained several serious misrepresentations. The worst is the statement that “Griffin contended that no difference exists between evil and patriotism as patriotism means working for one’s own country at the expense of others.” Griffin’s actual claim was that it’s possible to commit great evil while acting on patriotic motives. In particular, if those responsible for the events of 9/11 include persons within the U.S. government, they could well have been acting on patriotic motives. However, that would not justify their actions or make them good.

• 9/11 PRESS FOR TRUTH CIRCULAR: -

'IN THEIR OWN WORDS: THE UNTOLD STORIES OF THE 9/11 FAMILIES' is the new, official companion DVD to the 2006's underground hit 'PRESS FOR TRUTH'. Over 2 hours of unseen families' interviews and rare news clips originally intended for inclusion in the movie ended up on the cutting room floor -- until now.

• Study shows how false memories rerun 7/7 film that never existed - Four out of 10 people have false memories of the 7/7 London bombings, according to researchers who questioned students about what they remembered seeing on news reports of the events. Some people claimed to have seen non-existent CCTV footage of the bus exploding in Tavistock Square in July 2005, while others gave detailed descriptions of footage which did not exist.

RELATED: This goes a long way to demonstrate the method of conditioning that causes many people deny the legitimacy of 9/11 truth.  Most people watching the mainstream news do so without discernment or retention of detail.  One friend of mine in particular has spent years in denial regarding 9/11 being an inside job... he 'knows for a fact' that Flight 77 hit the Pentagon, that fire brought down the Twin Towers and that those nineteen hijackers were the ones who did it.  Granted, he can't name even one of the alleged nineteen hijackers because he only retained an image that was projected to him by the mainstream media... but still he 'knows' that it unfolded just as we saw on TV.

• French President Nicolas Sarkozy friend says 9/11 was a lie - One of France's most successful stand-up comedians and a close friend of President Nicolas Sarkozy has sparked outrage by becoming the latest French star to question the official account of the September 11 attacks. In an embarrassment to the French President, and with just two days to go before the seventh anniversary of the deadly terrorist strikes, Jean-Marie Bigard - a member of Mr Sarkozy's inner circle of showbiz friends - said the official version was a "lie". "We are now absolutely certain that these two planes - the one that supposedly fell into a forest (flight 93 in Pennsylvania) and onto the Pentagon don't exist... those planes are still flying. "It's an enormous lie," he told Europe 1 radio. "It's an American missile that hit the Pentagon, they provoked it themselves, they killed fellow Americans. "Usually one learns of these things 30 years afterwards. We know it now," he went on. Mr Bigard, who has staged shows to a full house in Paris' football stadium, le Stade de France, added: "We are beginning to seriously consider that neither Ben Laden nor al Qaeda were responsible for September 11."

PERSPECTIVE: See our Prominent Figures Speak Out page for a list of others that have gone public on 9/11 Truth.

• Liquid Bomb “Terror Plot” Collapses In Court: None of suspects charged with headline-grabbing plan to blow up airlines, alleged ringleader completely acquitted - The much vaunted liquid bomb “terror plot” that provoked paranoid airport security measures, an overnight change in baggage procedures, and at one point led to mothers having to drink their own breast milk, completely collapsed yesterday in court after the alleged ringleader was completely acquitted and none of the other suspects were charged with conspiracy to blow up an airliner. “Seven men admitted plotting to cause a public nuisance. An eighth man was cleared at Woolwich Crown Court,” reports the BBC. “But after more than 50 hours of deliberations, the jury did not find any of the defendants guilty of conspiring to target aircraft.” “Mohammad Gulzar, 27, who Scotland Yard accused of being a ringleader in the plot, was cleared of all offenses,” adds the Register.

COMMENTARY: I went on air on 10th August 2006, the day that the media ran with the Liquid Bomber story to say that this story looked like a fake threat and was subsequently called a conspiracy theorist... what do these people have to say now? (Not much!).

• Liquids ban in luggage must remain in place, airlines told - The current tight security at British airports is unlikely to be relaxed in the wake of the Crown Prosecution Service's decision to push for a retrial of the men accused of plotting to bring down airliners. Restrictions on taking liquid through security were immediately introduced in the wake of the discovery of the alleged bomb plot in August 2006. Counter-terrorist officers believe it would have claimed thousands of lives and inflicted massive economic disruption on both Britain and the US.

• The failure of the NIST WTC 7 report to address concerns raised in Appendix C of the 2002 FEMA Building Performance Study - The NIST WTC 7 report does not attempt to explain the “severe high-temperature corrosion attack” on apparently the only piece of WTC 7 steel which was tested, as documented in Appendix C, “Limited Metallurgical Examination” of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Building Performance Study, which can be found at the link below on the NIST website. http://wtc.nist.gov/media/AppendixC-fema403_apc.pdf

• Study: Respiratory Problems Still Persist For 9/11 Workers - The city released its annual report today on the health of rescue workers at the World Trade Center site and nearby residents. For the past seven years since the September 11th terrorist attacks, the city has been monitoring the physical and mental health of recovery workers, first responders, and those living and working in Lower Manhattan. The World Trade Center Medical Working Group reviewed more than 100 scientific articles published since 2001 and found that people continue to suffer from a range of issues. The study's key findings include respiratory system have persisted for 25 percent of firefighters, two to four years after 9/11.

• Ventura Voices 9/11 Truth At Rally For The Republic: Former Governor hints at presidential run in 2012: “We can take our country back, it can be done” - During an impassioned speech in which he called for a revolution to take back the country, former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura voiced 9/11 truth to the 10,000 in attendance and the millions watching on C-Span and You Tube at the Rally For The Republic yesterday. Ventura also strongly hinted that he is considering running for the presidency in 2012. “I’m going to move on to another subject that a lot of people don’t want to discuss today,” he said, “I know when I discuss it, it’s amazing, I get attacked! And that’s something called 9/11!”

• Fabled Enemies Now Streaming For Prison Planet.tv Members!: Fabled Enemies: A New Film By Loose Change Filmmaker Jason Bermas - Seven years after 9/11, the supposed mastermind behind the attacks is still at large, and the nation is entrenched in multiple wars in the Middle East. Is Bin Laden the evil behind the attack or a mere front man in a larger picture, a Bogeyman? We are told we are fighting a War on Terror, and that the Terrorists hate us for our freedom. If that is the case, why do our leaders take more and more of those freedoms away every day?

• Neo-Con Media Whores Still Can’t Get Facts Straight On Malkin Incident - Neo-Con media whores are still having difficulty getting their facts straight on Alex Jones’ confrontation of Michelle Malkin on Monday at the DNC, and remain persistent with their bald faced lie that Jones advocated violence against the columnist. “If you repeat a lie long enough, and loud enough, it becomes truth,” said Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, and it appears as though Neo-Con bloggers have taken the words of one of their heroes to heart. That’s right - drooling, Mom’s basement dwelling, fake right-wing hacks are still reporting that Alex Jones and/or his supporters shouted “kill Michelle Malkin” even after we exposed the individuals concerned to be agent provocateurs intent on demonizing legitimate protesters by making inflammatory statements.

RELATIVE ISSUE: We posted this story as Michelle Malkin is a well known 9/11 attacker for the utterly corrupt Fox News (although in early 2002 she was asking reasonable questions about the official story, click here - what happened?).  Go to the headlines at our affiliated site cremationofcare.com for further up-dates on this issue.

• More Evidence Malkin Crew Set-up Alex Jones - Calling into his nationally syndicated radio show today from the DNC in Denver, Alex Jones provided more evidence that Michelle Malkin and her dirty tricks crew attempted to set-up him up. Alex revealed that he has video footage documenting the set-up and this will be made public upon his return from Denver. As we reported yesterday, several people associated with Malkin and apparently taking orders from her people attempted to claim Alex threatened the neocon blogger by chanting “Kill Malkin,” a lie parroted by neocon bloggers. As it turns out, two individuals not associated with Alex Jones, described as “frat boys,” were responsible for making the threatening comment and then attempted to claim Alex made the comment. Several videos of the confrontation provide conclusive evidence that Alex did not make the comment. Fox News commentator John Gibson tried to claim Alex had “mind controlled” the crowd into calling for the murder of Malkin.

• '9/11 Truth' activists march through Denver - Around 100 activists convinced that the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 were perpetrated by dark and mysterious actors within the US government marched across the city Tuesday in a sanctioned protest that resulted in no confrontations with police. Members of the so-called "9/11 Truth" movement gathered outside Denver's city hall proceeding to snake through cordoned off streets towards the Pepsi Center, where the Democratic National Convention is being held this week. Radio host Alex Jones, who runs the conspiracy theory Web site infowars.com and is a leader of the movement led demonstrators in chants of "9/11 was and inside job" and "Down with the New World Order."

• LATEST LOOSE CHANGE CIRCULAR: -

  Fabled Enemies trailer

Fabled Enemies is unlike any 9/11 documentary ever put together.  Rather than focusing on the physical anomalies at the World Trade Center and Pentagon, this film follows the intelligence ties of Osama Bin Laden, the alleged hijackers, and those who were actually detained on 9/11.

The movie delves deeply into the roles of seperate Nations that were involved in supporting the 9/11 attacks.  From Israel to Saudi Arabia to Pakistan, and even the United States itself, no one is spared in this scathing expose that pulls no punches.  Sit back and get ready to learn how members of the FBI had their investigations into Bin Laden obstructed and shut down, how the hijackers were trained at US bases, that military drills crippled our defense and facilitated the attacks, how the Shadow Government was actually activated that day, and much much more.

Join Alex Jones productions and Jason Bermas one of the creators of Loose Change, in his Directorial debut on September 1st , as he loads new ammo for the Infowar.

• NIST Concludes “Fire” Caused WTC 7 “Collapse” when FEMA Report Concluded Fuel Tank Explosion had “low probability” of Knocking Down Tower - NIST has finally released their final report into the collapse of Building 7, which collapsed inexplicably on 9/11. The New York Times quoted Sunder who said, “[The] reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery… It did not collapse from explosives or fuel oil fires.” Earlier, Sunder was scratching his head, saying, “We’ve had trouble getting a handle on Building No. 7.” Similarly, the collapse baffled FEMA who lamely concluded, “The specifics of the fires in WTC 7 and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown at this time. Although the total diesel fuel on the premises contained massive potential energy, the best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence.” In other words, despite the fact that FEMA claimed a diesel fuel explosion would have been improbable, NIST is now asserting that mere “fires” knocked down WTC 7? As NIST admits, this would be the “first known instance of fire causing the total collapse of a tall building.”

OFFICIAL FILM WEBSITE: www.nosmokewithoutfire.co.uk

• Scientists and scientific explanations - In light of NIST’s WTC7 report, it would be good to have a look at DRG’s excellent debunking of the widely held misconception that a document by scientists makes it an ipso facto scientific document. From page 23 of “Debunking 911 Debunking:” Having looked at two ways in which people, as illustrated by journalists, can avoid confronting the evidence that 9/11 was an inside job, I now look at a third: the assumption that if an explanation is given by scientists, it is a scientific explanation.

• Bad Faith: WTC 7 and the Official Lies - With the release of the NIST final report on Building 7 we can safely say that the government remains committed to the ongoing cover-up, and that crucial evidence was simply ignored, fairy tales were manufactured, and that’s good enough for a lot of media. Perhaps a super-majority of media. As media, “the press,” will not perform its function as society’s government watchdog, and will not pursue the gaping holes in this wizard’s curtain, it’s basically left to us — you and me — to clear up this matter for our fellow citizens. We are at a serious disadvantage, and yet the task is not so daunting as rabid “debunkers” would have you believe. Let’s defer to one of their own, the former head of NIST’s Fire Science Division (the federal government organization which produced the sham report linked above).

• Two Powerful Forces Should Have Made WTC 7 Tip Over - World Trade Center building 7 was not a square or a rectangle, but a trapezoid.  As such, the larger side of the building would be heavier and more massive. NIST claims that column 79 collapsed, leading to the collapse of the whole building.

• NIST WTC 7 Report: Shameful, Embarrassing And Completely Flawed: NIST Claims “New Phenomenon” Occurred For First Time Ever In Collapse Of WTC 7. Yet fails to address why ground zero workers and media outlets had prior knowledge of an “extraordinary event” never before observed an hour in advance, plus myriad of other ignored issues - In its final report on the collapse of WTC 7 that news outlets are reporting “puts 9/11 conspiracy theories to bed,” NIST claims that the never before observed “new phenomenon” of “thermal expansion” was to blame for the destruction of the building, a completely ludicrous conclusion in a report that simply ignores eyewitness testimony and hard evidence that points to the deliberate demolition of the structure. NIST completely fails to address prior knowledge of the building’s collapse, including why news outlets like the BBC and CNN reported that the building had collapsed an hour before it actually fell, as well as firefighters on the scene who are heard on video saying, “Keep your eye on that building, it’ll be coming down soon.”

• Debunking NIST's Conclusions about WTC 7: Easy as Shooting Fish in a Barrel - Debunking NIST's conclusions about WTC 7 is as easy as shooting fish in a barrel. NIST lamely tried to explain the symmetrically collapse as follows: WTC 7’s collapse, viewed from the exterior (most videos were taken from the north), did appear to fall almost uniformly as a single unit. This occurred because the interior failures that took place did not cause the exterior framing to fail until the final stages of the building collapse. The interior floor framing and columns collapsed downward and pulled away from the exterior frame. There were clues that internal damage was taking place, prior to the downward movement of the exterior frame, such as when the east penthouse fell downward into the building and windows broke out on the north face at the ends of the building core. The symmetric appearance of the downward fall of the WTC 7 was primarily due to the greater stiffness and strength of its exterior frame relative to the interior framing. NIST can't have it both ways. If the exterior frame was so stiff and strong, then it should have stopped the collapse, or - at the very least - we would have seen a bowing effect where tremendous opposing forces were battling each other for dominance in determining the direction of the fall.

• As federal agency declares 'new phenomenon' downed WTC 7, activists cry foul - According to a federal agency report released Thursday, a "new phenomenon" known as thermal expansion was directly responsible for the mysterious collapse of World Trade Center 7 on Sept. 11, 2001. This study, posed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology -- a federal scientific agency which promotes technical industrial standards -- marks the first 'official' government theory on the collapse. The building's demise occurred some seven hours after the twin towers collapsed on Sept. 11, 2001, and has been the source of numerous conspiracy theories key to the "9/11 Truth" movement, most of which argue that the symmetrical, seven-second collapse was brought about by a controlled demolition. Dr. Shyam Sunder, director of Institute's building and fire research laboratory, oversaw the government's three-year research efforts. The report aims to disprove the controlled demolition argument. However, Richard Gage, founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth and a member of the American Institute of Architects, doesn't believe a word of the theory. His group, which has swelled to over 400 architectural and engineering professionals, immediately responded to the Institute's claim in a press conference.

• CNN: Conspiracy theorists 'not swayed' by WTC7 explanation - What really happened at 7 W.T.C. on Sept. 11, 2001? Government investigators say they know the truth. Fires, and not controlled demolition, caused the collapse of the tower, claims a new report from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The institute, a federal scientific agency which promotes technical industrial standards, is the first government agency to present an all-encompassing theory of the building's demise. But that theory is being met with consternation among those who believe something more sinister was afoot on 9/11. "It has been a mystery since 9/11," said CNN's Deborah Feyerick in a Friday report. "Why did World Trade Center building seven collapse nearly seven hours after the twin towers fell? "Was it diesel fuel in the building? Or planted explosives, a controlled demolition of government offices as conspiracy theorists allege in films like Loose Change?" No, says Dr. Shyam Sunder, who directed NIST's team of researchers in the investigation. Fire triggered a "new phenomenon" -- thermal expansion of structural steel, which caused a cascade of collapsing floors, ultimately bringing the building down symmetrically, into its own footprint.

• 9/11 Tower 7 mystery 'solved' - THE mystery surrounding the collapse of a third World Trade Centre tower just hours after the September 11 attacks has been solved, according to scientists. The 47-storey Tower Seven building collapsed seven hours after the attack and has been the subject of conspiracy theories. On September 11, the structure was set ablaze by falling debris from the burning towers. But sceptics say that would not have caused the steel and concrete structure to collapse and have claimed that it was blown up intentionally. However scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology say they have got to the bottom of the mystery after a three year probe.

  The Elephant in the Room is a documentary following British filmmaker Dean Puckett through his journey into the 9/11 Truth Movement: a global movement of 'conspiracy theorists' who believe that the official explanation about what happened on 9/11 is totally or partially inaccurate. The filmmakers travel from middle England, across Europe and to New York for the six year anniversary of the attacks, where the film takes one final twist as we are introduced to the 9/11 first responders who are suffering from various grave health difficulties due to the toxic dust that they breathed in trying to help their country during the weeks after this tragic event. Told with a personal hands on approach that avoids advancing any one position, the film asks the question: are these crazy conspiracy theorists? Or is 9/11 Truth a credible political movement? 

• Zero: An Investigation Into 9/11 (Cert 12A) - If Mr Bush and Mr Blair are still musing over their "legacy", well, here it is - the 9/11 "truth" movement, of which this film, from Italian directors Franco Farcassi and Francesco Trento, is the latest example. It represents a sizeable body of opinion, holding that everything that we were told about that awful day, every syllable, every dot, every comma, every jot, every tittle, was a great big lie. Our rulers brought this fatuous exercise in silly conspiracy theorism on themselves and us, having foisted the definite untruth of WMD on the world. After all, why should we believe anything proclaimed by the governments of Washington and London which endorsed that mendacity?

• New video game ripped by kin of those who died at WTC - Artist Douglas Stanley uses World Trade Center in 30th anniversary version of famed Space Invaders game. It may be art, but loved ones of those killed in the attack on the World Trade Center think it's "disgusting." To celebrate the 30th anniversary of his Space Invaders video game, Paris-based artist Douglas Stanley has unveiled an installation in Germany depicting the twin towers under attack. "The World Trade Center attacks mark a deep cut in our recent history that is still being processed," said Stanley, attempting to explain his installation at the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany. In the large interactive installation, players must shoot invading space aliens out of the sky to keep them from destroying the towers. Stanley, a French-American, said the installation shows an "ambiguous juxtaposition of this mythical game and the historical events of Sept. 11."

• US accused of war crimes over torture methods - The use of torture by the US Government in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in New York on September 11, 2001 has come under increasing criticism. In 1863 at the height of the US civil war, president Abraham Lincoln set the principles for interrogation of prisoners with a famous instruction “military necessity does not admit of cruelty”. It took the September 11 attacks to change those principles and Vice-President Dick Cheney said the US would now have to work through the dark side. In response, government lawyers drew up the so-called torture memos that would ultimately unleash the abuses at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib and at a host of secret CIA “black sites”. In his new book, lawyer Philippe Sands argues that the responsible officials, and the lawyers who advised them, should be charged with war crimes. Popular TV drama ‘24′ regularly show terror suspects being tortured so the hero can save the day but does this reflect a new tolerance of torture tactics in the United States?

COMMENTARY: "It took the September 11 attacks to change those principles"... and there are still a few people out there that label us 'Conspiracy Theorists'!

• Parallels Between the Anthrax and 9/11 Investigations - There are numerous parallels between the anthrax and 9/11 investigations. This essay will touch on a couple of them.

• Bizarre Coincidence: Neo's Passport Expiry Date was 11th September 2001 - This is a weird one! I was recently sent an e-mail from a friend who pointed out that in the 1999 cult film The Matrix, we see a file folder about 17 minutes into the film which very briefly shows an image of (the Keanu Reeves character) Neo's passport. In the film, the image appears up-side down as we see above. Interestingly if we rotate the image the right way up we can see that the expiry date of the passport is... 11th September 2001.

• DVD PRE-ORDER: Fabled Enemies: A New Film By Loose Change Filmmaker Jason Bermas - 7 years after 911 the supposed mastermind behind the attacks is still at large, and the nation is entrenched in multiple Wars in the Middle East. Is Bin Laden the Evil behind the attack or a mere front man in a larger picture, a Bogeyman? We are told we are fighting a War on Terror, and that the Terrorists hate us for our freedom. If that is the case, why do our leaders take more and more of those freedoms away every day?

• Dan Rather announces Giuliani has "flight data recorder" from WTC: Another on-air oddity from Dan Rather - Observations: Rather's language suggests he has knowledge of a news clip in custody of CBS in which Giuliani "holds up" what he claims is a "flight data recorder" from the WTC wreckage - Rather introduces this clip, but immediately a BBC-style "technical problem" prevents its being aired - Giuliani would not make such an announcement to the national media casually--much less "hold up" the object in question--without confirmation that what had been found was indeed a "flight data recorder" and not the remains of some other electronic appliance from the debris. This episode supports claims by FDNY personnel and an NTSB "insider" that the WTC "black boxes" were in fact found, and suggests the actual moment the blackout curtain descends on this matter in the corporate media.

SEE THE VIDEO: Click here /// COMMENTARY: Apparently there was a 'technical problem'... hmm, very reminiscent of the BBC Jane Standley incident where they deviated from the official script and announced the collapse of WTC early, then had a 'technical problem' and the story went away (until the 9/11 truth movement caught wind of the incident last year!).

• Obama Fanatics Slam Author For Questioning 9/11: Establishment phonies, NY Times attempt to stoke feigned controversy over Corsi’s skepticism of official story, seemingly unaware that his doubts are shared by the majority of Americans - An army of frenzied Barack Obama acolytes have been busy attempting to smear writer Jerome Corsi, author of Obama Nation, by citing his skepticism towards the official 9/11 story, seemingly ignorant of the fact that such doubts are shared by the majority of Americans. The New York Times also got in on the act with a sneering attempt to validate the attack on Corsi, which is being supported by Obama’s own campaign staff. The coordinated smear attempt is obviously born out of the concern that Corsi’s 2004 book, Unfit for Command, basically sank John Kerry’s presidential bid because it was the inspiration behind the Swift Boat Veteran’s For Truth campaign.

• A Response To The Yorkshire Evening Post Article - On August 13th, 2008 the Yorkshire Evening Post ran a story about the West Yorkshire Truth Campaign and its central campaign premise - that 911 and 77 bear all the halmarks for false flag state sponsored terrorism. Here is a response to that article by Richard Worthington from Leeds in the UK who was interviewed by journalist Grant Woodward.

• LATEST LOOSE CHANGE CIRCULAR: -

Loose Change Supporter,

As the years pass since the September 11, 2001 attacks, it can get harder and harder to maintain the enthusiasm and energy we need to fight for an independent investigation into 9/11.  However, we can't give in until we reach our goal.  The movement continues to grow and first responders, victims and their families, and our great country deserve the truth! 

We call upon you to again help support the cause by supporting the 2008 Now or Never events in New York City.  This year we are focusing our efforts on supporting the many injured first responders who selflessly risked their lives on that fateful day and have been ignore, rejected, and mistreated by our government.  By bringing the spotlight to these sick and dying heroes, we hope to get them the medical treatment they deserve while opening the eyes of thousands more to the need for an independent investigation. 

We need your help now to make this happen.  If you are in the New York City area, or can be there this September, help us by buying tickets to the 9/11 Conference and Benefit Concert.  All day tickets are only $25, and any money that doesn't go to putting on the event will to the FealGood Foundation to help first responders.  We have booked some amazing hip hop artists for the event that include Talib Kweli, Dead Prez, Paris, Saigon, and more.  These artists are volunteering their time to this event, so for only $25, you can support first responders and see a top-notch show.  Buy your tickets now, before they sell out!

If you're not going to be in New York, or can't make it to New York, your help is still vital.  You can help by donating to the event and first responders.  We've put together some great thank you gifts to help motivate you and spread the word.  So, check out our 2008 Now or Never Donations Page to help out.

Every little bit counts and without your support we can't make this happen.  So, help out now!

• NEW SECTION AVAILABLE ON 9/11TRUTHSKIPTON.COM: BETRAYAL OF THE EMERGENCY RESPONDERS - Another major element of 9/11 Truth relates to the appalling treatment of the Emergency Responders in New York that continues all these years after the attacks. On September 18th 2001, Christine Todd Whitman infamously announced on behalf of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that "the air is safe to breathe". With 40,000 responders whom were directly exposed to the fallout at Ground Zero, we now face the very real prospect that more people will die from the effects of the aftermath, than were killed in the actual attacks themselves. This is how the US government treated the REAL heroes of 9/11...

• Tape: Top CIA official confesses order to forge Iraq-9/11 letter came on White House stationery: In damning transcript, ex-CIA official says Cheney likely ordered letter linking Hussein to 9/11 attacks - A forged letter linking Saddam Hussein to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks was ordered on White House stationery and probably came from the office of Vice President Dick Cheney, according to a new transcript of a conversation with the Central Intelligence Agency's former Deputy Chief of Clandestine Operations Robert Richer.

• LATEST LOOSE CHANGE CIRCULAR - 07/08/2008: -

We are writing you in the hopes of grabbing your attention regarding an important event that is coming up for the anniversary of September 11th, 2001.

The 9/11 Relief Fund was designed to go to victims’ family members, rescue workers who dug through the asbestos, and projects underway in hospitals for all Americans that were affected. However, like many things, this fund was squandered by Washington politicians. As a result, thousands of sick rescue workers are bed-ridden at home and in hospitals, and are passing away at an alarming rate.

We Are Change, a non-profit organization based in NYC, along with a coalition of the FealGood Foundation, (which aids sick 9/11 first responders) Louder Than Words (the creators of Loose Change) and SMT Studios in NYC would like to invite you to the most important benefit you may ever attend...

The 2008 NOW or NEVER First Responders Relief Benefit at the Manhattan Center Stages, Grand Ballroom in NYC on September 12, 2008. Events are taking place from the 10th – 12th, and we would be honored to have you in attendance.

If you can't make it but would  like to donate to support the cause, head to the Loose Change Store and make a donation to support first responders and this event.

For more details about the event, visit http://2008nowornever.com or click here to download an informational pdf.

More to come.  Buy your tickets now before they sell out.

Thanks for your support.  We hope to see you in New York City.

• Bush faked letter linking Iraq with 9/11 that led US and Britain into war, Pulitzer prize-winner claims in explosive new book - American President George Bush was accused of committing an 'impeachable' offence by ordering the CIA to fake a letter linking Iraq to al Qaeda - the 'missing link' that led the US and Britain into war. The explosive charge that Bush committed 'one of the greatest lies in modern American political history' is made in a new book by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ron Suskind, released today. In the book, Suskind suggests that Bush's actions were worse than the Watergate scandal. In 'The Way of the World: A Story of Truth and Hope in an Age of Extremism', Suskind says he spoke on the record with U.S. intelligence officials who stated that Bush was informed unequivocally in January 2003 that Saddam had no weapons of mass destruction. Yet, he claims, Bush decided to invade Iraq three months later — with the forged letter from the head of Iraqi intelligence to Saddam clinching American reasons for going to war.

• McCain After 9/11: Wrong About Everything - This recently posted video of John McCain on the Letterman Show 18 October 2001, roughly a month after 9/11, suggests McCain knew about the Bush plan to take on Iraq. In addition to his cracks about killing Bin Laden by Halloween and intimidating "these people into going back to selling camels," he also floats the line that the anthrax used in the U.S. mail attacks "may have come from Iraq" and says the Bush administration was determined to hold the countries from which the terrorists came responsible. In retrospect, it's clear that McCain, our experience candidate, got pretty much everything wrong and was selling Bush's disastrous foreign policy, as he still is today.

• Ron Paul Fears Staged Iran Pretext Could Bring National Draft - Congressman Ron Paul fears that a staged incident exploited as a pretext to attack Iran may be the precursor to a national draft, as he responded to Sy Hersh’s astounding report that Dick Cheney proposed faking a Gulf of Tonkin style incident by killing Americans in the Straits of Hormuz and blaming it on Iran. “The influence is still there that they want it to happen, they probably themselves don’t have a day set to do it but they’re waiting for an opportunity and something will come along,” Paul told the Alex Jones Show. “They’re capable of doing anything,” said Paul, refering to the consideration unveiled in the Downing Street Memo, where Bush and Blair discussed painting a U2 spy plane in UN colors and goading Saddam to have it shot down as a pretext to invade Iraq.

• Law Professor: Counter Terrorism Czar Told Me There Is Going To Be An i-9/11 And An i-Patriot Act - Amazing revelations have emerged concerning already existing government plans to overhaul the way the internet functions in order to apply much greater restrictions and control over the web. Lawrence Lessig, a respected Law Professor from Stanford University told an audience at this years Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech conference in Half Moon Bay, California, that “There’s going to be an i-9/11 event” which will act as a catalyst for a radical reworking of the law pertaining to the internet.

• Utah Congressmen Mailed “9/11 Conspiracies”, Hand Them Over To Capitol Police - An otherwise uninteresting article in the Salt Lake Tribune, about Utah representatives receiving different kinds of mail, has thrown up some disturbing information regarding letters about 9/11 truth. Amongst the stories about Congressmen receiving letters from people who use “Star Trek” stationery, and from kids wanting homework outlawed, we find the following little tidbit: “Others have written in about 9/11 conspiracies, global takeovers or secret CIA mind-control techniques that “got so crazy we actually had to hand them over to Capitol Police,” he (Legislative assistant Omar Raschid) said.” Apparently not accepting the government’s version of events surrounding 9/11 may land you in trouble with the cops if you’re writing from Utah. Questioning the collapse of WTC 7 for example, an incident that was totally ignored by the 9/11 Commission Report, could get you reported.

• 7 Years After 9/11, First Responders Still Lack Medical Treatment - Medical and health and safety experts today urged Congress to approve new legislation to establish a permanent monitoring, research and health care program for the responders and people who lived and worked near Ground Zero who were exposed to the same mix of pulverized glass and concrete, asbestos, lead and burning jet fuel. Peg Seminario, AFL-CIO health and safety director, told the House Subcommittee on Health: The exposures were made much worse by EPA’s [Environmental Protection Agency’s] pronouncements that the environment was safe and OSHA’s [Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s] failure to enforce workplace safety and health requirements during the entire 10-month period of rescue, recovery and clean-up operations at the WTC [World Trade Center] site. As many as 100,000 responders—firefighters, paramedics, rescue and recovery workers—were exposed to the stew of chemicals and other toxic substances in the rubble of the World Trade Center following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

• Confirmed: Jesse Ventura To Appear At Anti-war/Truth Concert - Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura has confirmed he will be appearing at the upcoming anti-war/ 9/11 truth concert along with Country Music Legend Willie Nelson. More on this when the details are finalized…

• Student charged after 9/11 stickers left on plane - A former Worcester man faces charges after he allegedly placed a sticker claiming Sept. 11 was an "inside job" in an airplane bathroom, then ran off the plane at Logan International Airport. Twenty-6-year-old Jason Robo was arraigned Thursday on charges of disorderly conduct and interfering with aircraft operation. A flight attendant on the Delta flight to Salt Lake City on Wednesday found homemade stickers that read "9/11 was an Inside Job! PrisonPlanet.com" on a bathroom sink and on the tray table for Robo's seat. The plane was evacuated, and takeoff was delayed for three hours.

• WeAreChange Robbed of 3 Cameras and Important Footage - On July 26, 2008 around 4am Eastern Time WeAreCHANGE members Sabrina Rivera and myself Luke Rudkowski noticed our cars front widow was knocked out. The only missing property inside the car was three WeAreCHANGE cameras with important video footage. It is important to note that I myself was receiving harassing phone calls for the past 24 hours prior to the robbery. The Robbery took place right after a public WeAreCHANGE meeting which Sabrina and myself attended. The following cameras have been taken. The cameras were located on the bottom floor of the back seat in a camera bag covered by a towel no way visible from outside. The windows in the car were tinted and no one from the outside was able to see anything resembling a camera or camera bag. THOUGH THEY MANAGED TO LEAVE A $4,000 MACBOOK PRO LAPTOP AND $300 GPS SYSTEM

(COMMENTARY: Something similar also happened to our WeAreChange - UK guys very recently.  Almost as if the footage was the target... scratch that... EXACTLY like the footage was the target.  And all other equipment is left behind.  Another 'coincidence' happened to us, not once but twice when WTC survivor William Rodriguez came to our hometown of Skipton as part of a 9/11 Truth tour.  Our computer system has never had a hack that caused so much damage that required us to wipe the drives... except for the two days (one in November 2006 and again in February 2007) that Rodriguez came to visit us.  And we have been running this same system since for almost five years... never a problem before or since.  What a coincidence!.  Not really. Come on now you New World Order minions, we know you have declared war on us, but we want an even playing field here!)

• Batman's Take on 9/11 Era Politics? Drop the Fearmongering: "The Dark Knight" warns against what happens when a society abandons its principles out of fear - "One of the "biggest" ideas of the year, according to James Fallows writing in the Atlantic Magazine, is the End of 9/11 as a metanarrative for American politics. For a growing domestic and international constituency, it is no longer tolerable for the very invocation of those events to warrant overriding every principle of American democracy. That moment of thoughtless panic has passed, and appears now to have been a dream of madness. Casting aside principles in the name of the "war on terror" -- to "work ... the dark side, if you will", as Dick Cheney put it -- is now being recognized as the path to becoming the very evil we feared." One of the most potent confirmations of this maturing zeitgeist is the overwhelmingly positive critical and public reception of Christopher Nolan's stunning new Batman film The Dark Knight, which, in its careful use of 9/11 visual tropes takes the viewer on a sometimes traumatic but ultimately redemptive and humanistic journey towards a truly post-9/11 ethic.

• Did anyone read Joker his Miranda rights? - If you're one of the 22 million or so people who saw "The Dark Knight" this weekend, you probably noticed that the movie had some Serious Themes alongside the bombs, slick stunts, and brilliant performances. (And if you haven't read seen it yet, don't read on, and consider this your spoiler alert.) Sure, "Iron Man" had brown guys being blown up to a hard rock soundtrack, and American arms killing Americans. And at least the editorial board thought "The Hulk" could be considered an allegory for the war on drugs. But Christopher Nolan's latest addition to the Batman canon is the most explicit and thought-provoking with its post-9/11-ness, starting with bursting skyscrapers in its first few minutes and at various points taking up torture (I think the sound of ringing steel is still in my head from Batman's slamming Joker's head onto a table), surveillance (complete with heavy-handed speechifying on privacy by Lucius Fox) and even directly calling the Joker a terrorist a handful of times.

• Another 9/11 Apologist Exposed: Thanks to 9/11 Blogger and AJFan, I just listened to one of the most amazing pieces of abject fabrication I have heard on any radio station; and that includes Bill O’s show - “Professor Muller (at about 7:30) is led by Boston Public Radio host Tom Ashbrook to the subject of what future presidents should know about the physics of terrorism; specifically, how did those buildings come down?” Professor Muller is currently with the University of California, Berkley and also a member of the JASON Defense Advisory Group which brings together top scientists as consultants for the United States Department of Defense. So he shouldn’t be too biased, eh? He writes a monthly column for MIT’s magazine and by all accounts, he is a very smart man (you can tell by how he holds his glasses there). So, let’s see what he says in the interview about the physics of 9/11, shall we?

• 9/11 billboard used to sell Republican song: US citizens outraged at Mike Meehan's Republican Song adverts - especially as the song sucks - Residents of Orlando, Florida were outraged and baffled last week by billboards showing the burning twin towers alongside the message "Please Don't Vote For A Democrat". As a nationwide kerfuffle ensued, local Republicans hastily distanced themselves from the billboards. But it turned out that the posters' message — while heartfelt — is actually the title of a song, available for download (for $5) from a website also mentioned on the billboard.

• 9/11 Search Dog From Utah Dying Of Cancer - Kenji is one of four Utah search dogs who were called to work at ground zero. A 9/11 hero is fighting cancer that may be the result of his work at ground zero. He is the last of four Utah dogs, who went to New York and searched for survivors in smoking debris after the terrorist attacks. Fields Moseley has his story. At eleven years old, Kenji still likes to go for a walk through Dimple Dell Park. Despite having rebuilt knees and some gray fur, he still has plenty of energy for a game of hide-and-seek. Finding people is what Kenji was trained to do. It is what his owner and partner Dave Perks says he's always been good at it. “We’ve been proud of Kenji. He's been a really fine search dog. Learns quick and doesn't forget,” said Perks. That's why this well-trained lab was one of four dogs who got the call when terror struck. “We belong to Utah Task Force One,” Perks said. When the World Trade Center towers were brought down by terrorists in 2001, this elite group searched the debris for survivors.

• 2008 Bohemian Grove Guest List Obtained By 9/11 Truth Activists: Guests included George H. W. Bush, David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger - An official guest list for Bohemian Grove's 2008 midsummer encampment along with a map of the Grove's facilities has been obtained by a San Francisco based action group who held protests and information drives outside the entrance to the elite summer retreat. The list reveals that amongst the hundreds of corporate representatives, government officials and banking elites, guests also included former president George H.W. Bush, David Rockefeller, Henry Kissinger, Donald Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, as well as several former directors of the CIA, including James Woolsey.

• Has the new Batman plundered its plot from 9/11? - New York’s alter ego, Gotham City, is under attack. Bombs kill civilians indiscriminately. Panic spreads like wildfire. The perpetrator, a mysterious self-styled “agent of chaos”, has no apparent motive. Holy terror! Has the new Batman flick plundered its plot from 9/11? The imagery here is blatant: firefighters framed in tableau against the smouldering rubble of Downtown; politicians cashing in on the paranoia; bound hostages used to relay demands on television; the extraordinary rendition of a foreign suspect; a crusade against an “evildoer” that turns more personal vendetta than reasoned response.

• More than a movement -- the search for 9/11 truth is an awakening - A year ago, I announced in this forum the launching of my survey for a book that would compile personal accounts of ordinary people active in the 9/11 truth movement. Since then, I’ve been gathering dozens of revealing, often moving stories from inside and outside the U.S., and I’ve begun to put a shape to Voices for 9/11 Truth. Along the way, I’ve come to believe that what we call the 9/11 truth movement is not really a movement per se. It’s something else, something potentially more important, more meaningful, and maybe even more impactful. First, the obvious: we’re not exactly a homogenous group. Yes, there is a shared commitment to prompt a thorough and impartial 9/11 investigation and unravel the sinister mess behind the crime and cover-up, but we’re not linked by bloodlines, gender, age, economic status, or any other common entity. We’re no clearly defined, pre-established group seeking a platform to gain rights or power -- and anyway, we’d be hard pressed to put together a thousand members for a rally, let alone hundreds of thousands. In fact, what I’ve been most struck by in fielding these personal accounts and interacting with the gutsy people behind them is the wide diversity of those who believe that 9/11 was orchestrated from within our government.

• Actress Heather Thomas Latest Celebrity to Question 9/11 - American actress Heather Thomas, known for her role as Jody Banks in the 1981 television series The Fall Guy with Lee Majors, has told Retroality TV that she does not believe flight 77 hit the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. “They said it vaporized, and yet they produced bodies saying that they didn’t vaporize. You can vaporize a two-ton engine? I don’t think so…. No plane does damage like that. It was a bomb.” Heather Thomas: “A lot of people say they closed the Twin Towers for weekends on end (directly before 9/11) and wouldn’t let the security people in there (because they were setting it up for demolition)." Thomas, who played Marilyn Monroe in Hoover vs. the Kennedys, also voiced doubts about the official version of events at the WTC. “And a lot of people say they closed the Twin Towers for weekends on end (directly before 9/11) and wouldn’t let the security people in there (because they were setting it up for demolition).”

• 9/11 relative fights NYC co-op board over flag - A relative of a 9/11 victim is fighting his Brooklyn co-op board, which wants to remove an American flag from his door. Vincent Romano, who's a lawyer, says he put the flag outside his door after his wife's cousin died at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. He says the co-op board has ordered him to remove the flag by Tuesday. Romano says residents were told to keep items off their doors to avoid damaging new paint. But he says the paint job is not relevant in his case because the flag is held up by magnets.

• Ashcroft Defends DOJ's Post-9/11 Policies: Former AG: Overruling Controversial Legal Guidance Was 'Not a Hard Decision' - Former Attorney General John Ashcroft told lawmakers Thursday that he fully embraced pushing forward an aggressive counterterrorism policy during his tenure, but that overturning some initial Justice Department legal guidance was necessary after later review. "The administration's overriding goal, which I fully embraced, was to do everything within its power and within the limits of the law — I repeat within the limits of the law — to keep this country safe from terrorist attack," he told the House Judiciary Committee. Ashcroft said that's why he initially approved now-controversial legal guidance on interrogation put forth by former DOJ Office of Legal Counsel official John Yoo in an August 2002 memo.

• Water boarding proved “very valuable” in Guantanamo - Former Attorney General John Ashcroft spoke at the fifth part of a hearing entitled “From the Department of Justice to Guantanamo Bay: Administration Lawyers and Administration Interrogation Rules.” Ashcroft defended the Department of Justice’s action in Guantanamo Bay, saying that they worked within the framework of the law and never supported torture. Ashcroft said that after 9/11, the Bush Administration’s overriding goal was to do everything within its power and within the limits of the law, to keep this country and the American people safe from terrorist attacks. He spoke about the Administration’s efforts to work within the law and follow Supreme Court rulings about torture and interrogations in Guantanamo, and that water boarding was never ruled as torture and has “proved very valuable.”

• WeAreChange confronts Christie Todd Whitman - On September 11, 2001 former NJ governor Christie Todd Whitman was the Environmental Protection Agency Director. The agency issued false statements and declared the air safe to breathe. Here is the former EPA Director’s response to critical questions nearly seven years later.

• Ventura Blasts Culture That "Cannot Handle The Truth": Former Governor decries corporate media, two party system, highlights disgust at "failed political leadership" - Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura has hit out at a now entrenched culture that "cannot handle the truth" when it comes to the events of 9/11, the war in Iraq, the devastation that has been wrought on the economy and the "failed political leadership" of the last eight years. Ventura spoke exclusively to the nationally syndicated Alex Jones Show yesterday, in an hour long interview that allowed the independent governor to divulge a great deal more than in his later appearance on CNN.

• Registration Extended for 911 Workers and Volunteers to Preserve Right to File Workers' Compensation - Nearly seven years have passed since the twin towers of the World Trade Center collapsed following a terrorist attack into “Ground Zero” devastation. Those who have assisted in the recovery, cleanup and rescue efforts of the World Trade Center destruction, have an extended deadline of August 13, 2008 to register with the New York State Workers’ Compensation Board. The law has been changed to allow the filing of a workers’ compensation claim for those that have a 9/11 related illness. The change also applies to those volunteers and workers who are not sick now, but who may become sick in the future because they were exposed to toxic air following 9/11.

• ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A BRAIN-DEAD NEO-CON USING 9/11 TO PROMOTE THE PHONY 'LEFT VS RIGHT' PARADIGM: Songwriter's 9/11 Image On Billboards Stirs Controversy - Three billboards in the Orlando area that depict New York's World Trade Center in flames with the words "Please Don't Vote for a Democrat" are the work of a St. Cloud songwriter and commercial painter who is marketing his latest song. Mike Meehan doesn't apologize for the in-your-face gripping image that burned itself into the collective memory of Americans who recall the events of Sept. 11, 2001. The billboards went up Sunday, he said, and have already sparked controversy.

• WTC 7 Emergency Head Was Building Collapse Specialist - The former New York City chief emergency manager Jerome Hauer, whose office was on the 23d floor of WTC 7, was also a building collapse specialist, according to a recently uncovered New York Times article. Hauer has attracted suspicion from the 9/11 truth movement because of his zeal to push the official story in the hours after the attack when details were still sketchy. Hauer was also Managing Director of Kroll Associates - the company that provided security for the WTC complex on 9/11 - and he also betrayed advance knowledge of the anthrax attacks a week before they happened.

• Doctor is last 9/11 death - A woman doctor last seen near the Twin Towers a day before the 9/11 attacks in 2001 has finally been classified as a victim. The body of Sneha Philip, 31, was never found and no clear evidence links her to Ground Zero in New York. But a state court has now toppled an earlier ruling that she was not a victim of the terror strikes. It is thought she may have died trying to help others. Her mother Ansu, 61, said: "Having to go through this process was terrible." The 9/11 toll is now 2,751.

• McCain asked about PNAC and 9/11 at town hall - During a town hall event in Portsmouth, OH on Wednesday, John McCain was asked by a member of the audience whether his links to the parent organization of the Project for a New American Century explain why he has been reluctant to support calls for a new investigation of 9/11. The questioner began, "I was curious about a document. Back in September of 2000, the Project for a New American Century, or PNAC, whose members included Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Jeb Bush and Paul Wolfowitz, wrote a document entitled 'Rebuilding Americans Defenses.'" As McCain turned and paced away from him, the questioner continued, "In it, they state, quote, "The process of transformation, even if it bring revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor."

• BBC's Third Tower: 30 Pieces of Good News: by Dr. Kevin Barrett and Rolf Lindgren - The one-hour BBC program The Third Tower should have a positive effect on spreading the truth about what happened to WTC 7.

• Washington can't live up to standards of 9/11 'truthers' - The late U.S. president Ronald Reagan once remarked that "facts are stupid things." While Reagan's comment was an inadvertent slip of the tongue, too many people remain willing to unblushingly assert their belief in this sort of thinking. Rather like corpse gas, a fresh batch of skewed thinking has lately bubbled up from the depths due to the imminent release of a draft report from the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology on the collapse of 7 World Trade Center during the 9/11 attacks. WTC 7 was not hit by planes, but rather collapsed at 5:20 in the afternoon on the same day after being hit by debris from the fall of the North Tower. Its destruction was not mentioned in the 9/11 Commission Report on the attacks.

• Truth Rising: The Movement Finds Its Voice - You won’t be reading about it in the New York Times or seeing it on the billboard at your local multiplex cinema, but 9/11 Chronicles: Truth Rising is causing waves on the Internet with many comparing the documentary to the underground blockbuster Loose Change. At a time when the 9/11 truth movement is both at its most visible and under the most prolonged attack by debunkers, the movie serves as a reminder of what is at the heart of this grass-roots phenomenon - a yearning for justice both for the victims of 9/11 and those people who are still paying the price - the brave rescue heroes and firefighters who are living and dying with debilitating illnesses - having been abandoned by their government many years ago.

• BBC CONSPIRACY FILES: The Third Tower: A Critical Examination - On July 6, 2008, BBC released a documentary examining the collapse of World Trade Center 7, on September 11, 2001. The film purported to "solve the final mystery" of 9/11 in regards to whether the collapse of the building was due to fire or controlled demolition. The film used interviews of people from both sides of the argument, as well as stock footage and reconstructions to show the viewer the cases to be made for each theory. This is the second film the BBC has created on the subject of alternative theories of 9/11. The film is highly charged and controversial, with emotions running deep. In this review I will attempt to remove the emotional side of the film and simply look at the facts and opinions offered, their validity, and the BBC's attempt to make a "balanced" film.

Let's say you go along with the idea that WTC 7 collapsed because of normal fires, and Hani Hanjour went from an incompetent idiot to a highly skilled pilot, and 9/11 was carried out by 19 arab terrorists working for Osama Bin Laden. You should still join forces with the 9/11 truth movement and here's why.

• Families' fight for 9/11 remains thrown out - A US judge has dismissed a case brought by families of victims of the September 11, 2001, attacks who said New York authorities denied proper burials by sending debris containing possible human remains to a garbage dump.

• BBC Hit Piece Edits Silverstein Comment In Dirty Tricks Scam - The BBC’s embarrassing attempt to dig itself out of a hole that keeps getting deeper was again exemplified during their latest yellow journalism hit piece on 9/11 truth, in which they played Larry Silverstein’s “pull it” comment but edited out the most important part of the statement, and in doing so changed its context altogether. An army of informed truth activists are almost tripping over each other to point out the gargantuan number of errors, ad hominem smear tactics, bias and shoddy investigative techniques displayed in the program which aired Sunday in the UK. Just one such example concerns WTC complex leaseholder Larry Silverstein’s infamous “pull it” comment which can be viewed in its entirety below with other clips included for context in confirming that the term “pull it” is industry jargon for deliberately demolishing a building.

There is no special order in that points, and I’m sure I can add another 200 ones- I’m just not in the mood for deliver hard facts to ignorants.

OUR COMPLAINT: -

I would like to lodge a complaint against Mike Rudin and the BBC for the deeply insulting programme 'The Third Tower' (part of the Conspiracy Files series).

We pay our TV licensing fees to the government whom then pay yourselves - and this is this what we get in return?

This was by no means a fair and balanced piece, in fact it was an all out hit-piece on those who question/doubt the official story of 9/11, engaging in the usual 'Yellow Journalism' that the BBC has long been well known for.

Once again the BBC took the part of government apologist, whilst claiming to be unbiased (give me a break!) and did a poor, false and misleading job of answering the questions that we - the 9/11 truth movement have spent the last seven years asking.

There are already several articles available online rebutting your documentary (links at http://www.911truthskipton.com/news.htm) - I would hope that you take the time to view these.

Thank you for your time.

• Judge dismisses case over 9/11 remains - A U.S. judge on Monday dismissed a case brought by families of victims of the Sept. 11 attacks who said the city denied proper burials by sending debris containing possible human remains to a garbage dump. The lawsuit, filed in 2005 by a group called WTC Families for a Proper Burial, sought to have the estimated 1.2 million to 1.8 million tons of rubble originally from the World Trade Center site transferred out of the Fresh Kills landfill located on New York's borough of Staten Island. The families said the city should move the residue that had been finely sifted multiple times to a more suitable location and have a cemetery created.

• BBC directors' pay hikes defended - The BBC's Director-General defended the decision to award pay rises to the corporation's executive directors despite a year of job cuts and phone-in scandals. Mark Thompson waived his own right to a bonus because of the "scale of disruption and uncertainty" facing BBC colleagues. But nine executive directors did receive bonuses in 2007/08, according to this year's annual report. BBC Vision director Jana Bennett took a total rise of more than £100,000 including her bonus and other benefits, but Mr Thompson said her bonus had been cut because of the fakery scandals involving some BBC TV shows.   (COMMENTARY: Fakery at the BBC?... c'mon get serious!)

• Glaring and damning errors already apparent in new BBC WTC 7 hit piece - I just read the article Evolution of a Conspiracy Theory written by the producer of the new wtc hitpiece Mike Rudin.

• The Weekend's TV: The Conspiracy Files: 9/11 – The Third Tower, Sun, BBC2: Yet more tall stories with no foundation - Imagine an infection that actually feeds on the only antibiotic available to counter it and you have some measure of the problem in dealing with conspiracy theories. When conspiracists encounter solid evidence against their favoured scenario, they have only two options available to them. They can compromise their religious belief in the narrative they've constructed, or they can simply enlarge it, extending the conspiracy so that, amoeba-like, it absorbs this irritating foreign body and digests it whole. Almost invariably, they choose the latter, and The Conspiracy Files: 9/11 – the Third Tower, a film about the collapse of World Trade Centre Building 7, offered several choice examples of the process.   

(COMMENTARY: Another establishment hit piece which uses the term 'conspiracy' as a one-sided buzz-word, ignoring that those who embrace the official story (or 'fable' would be more appropriate) are themselves embracing a theory of a 'conspiracy'.  This is very note worthy and important because it shows the willful ignorance consistent in those who attack both 9/11 Truth and those who seek it).

• UPDATE ON THE BBC 911 TRUTH HIT PIECE: We just viewed the BBC documentary live about an hour ago... and we hate to say that we were indeed correct in our pre-air analysis (the next item down the page).  Producer Mike Rudin missed out so much of key information and hand-picked anything that he felt debunks the popular 9/11 'conspiracy theories'.  The problem is though, we (as 9/11 Truthers) are the ones debunking them (i.e. those who embrace the official fable).  All it takes is a single piece of the official story to be proven as false for the entire 'official conspiracy theory' to collapse.  And to be fair and honest, we don't have a specific theory of what happened on 9/11.  Our message to the world is essentially '9/11 is a lie... take time to look at it... now go and ask questions'.  

Going back to the broadcast tonight, one example of the deception is that they didn't explain why the BBC/CNN footage of themselves announcing the collapse of WTC7 (prior to the actual collapse) is important.  We broke this back in February 2007 as a major story, precisely because it shows that the mainstream news will make an announcement that is false and not investigate it.  It shows that they are basically parrots of the official story (i.e. because they can announce that a building has fallen when it is still standing in the bloody background!) and therefore they are little more than a willfully ignorant mouthpiece for the very criminal government that (the evidence shows) orchestrated the attacks.  Disagree with us?  Well, tonight's shameful Conspiracy Files broadcast only adds to that notion...

• TONIGHT THE BBC ENGAGES IN AN ALL OUT ASSAULT ON 9/11 TRUTH: Don't forget that tonight the BBC will be lunching a new attack on 9/11 Truth in their second 'Conspiracy Files' documentary due to air at 21:00 on BBC2.  In addition to the usual 'Yellow Journalism' that we see from the BBC, we anticipate that in this program the viewer will be exposed to: -

• the frequent and improper one-sided use of the word 'conspiracy' (usually followed by the word 'theory' or 'theorist').  Now... bearing in mind that a 'conspiracy' is defined as "a planning and acting together secretly, esp. for an unlawful or harmful purpose, such as murder or treason", defenders of government corruption and the official story often forget that they are themselves defending a conspiracy theory - one which involves 19 Arab hijackers whom couldn't even fly Cessna's.  Instead they play the 'conspiracy' card as a topical buzz-word, taking it out of context and therefore tilting much public opinion into their corner. Sadly this works because we are otherwise conditioned (particularly in the UK and USA) to associate 'conspiracy theories' as alternative, far fetched, bizarre and therefore foolish.

• only being show evidence that supports the official conspiracy theory and not be shown anything that destroys it.  Destructive evidence such as we see here (and in our previous headlines further down the page) in relation to the availability of water to put out the fires in WTC7.  This is a specific issue we expect to see distorted and taken out of context in tonight's broadcast.

• the BBC deceptively placing themselves in the camp of the survivors and the families of 9/11 along with the defenders of the official conspiracy theory... thereby pitching us (the debunkers of the official conspiracy theory) as the perceived 'bad guy's'.

• the program to insinuate that by doubting the official conspiracy theory we are disrespecting those who died in the attacks and causing severe distress to the survivors.  To buy into this paradigm is to forget that many of the families and survivors have been at the forefront of the 9/11 truth movement.  People such as William Rodriguez, the Jersey Girls and Bill Doyle, representative of one of the largest victim groups.  See our Prominent Figures Speak Out section for a list containing many many more examples.

• the use of lawyer-like distortion of the facts and carefully crafted sophistry.  We do know that they are specifically doing this to explain away the Jane Standley footage bombshell.  As we commented a few days ago, the use of the technique called 'Sophistry' is to make a defense which relies on confusing your critics.  Hypothetically, imagine I murdered someone by stabbing a them to death.  I could use sophistry and defend myself by saying "Okay I did stab this person, but it wasn't me that killed them... they bled to death".  The fact that they bled to death is probably accurate, but my statement is a lie by omission because it ignores the fact that I caused that very outcome.

• an uneven balance of 9/11 Truthers versus those who embrace the official conspiracy theory.  We saw this in the previous The Conspiracy Files program where only three 9/11 Truthers were interviewed, yet roughly a dozen individuals were featured in opposition.

So... following tonight's broadcast, should you not be feeling appropriately violated and patronised enough, we recommend that you visit the BBC's NWO shill Conspiracy files page here and take part in being suckered in further.

• No BBC, WTC 7 Did Not Collapse “Due To Fire” & The Final 9/11 Mystery Is Not Solved - “The building collapsed due to fire”- I’m still waiting to see a shred of evidence to support this theory. Just “saying” that the building collapsed due to fire is not evidence or proof that it collapsed due to fire. You can bet that NIST won’t bother to explain this away: When the hit piece comes out, this is a critical piece of evidence that NIST (I am assuming) will ignore in their report: “Although virtually all of the structural steel from the Twin Towers and Building 7 was removed and destroyed, preventing forensic analysis, FEMA’s volunteer investigators did manage to perform “limited metallurgical examination” of some of the steel before it was recycled. Their observations, including numerous micrographs, are recorded in Appendix C of the WTC Building Performance Study. Prior to the release of FEMA’s report, a fire protection engineer and two science professors published a brief report in JOM disclosing some of this evidence."

• “Shockingly Calm”: The Phone Calls From the Planes on 9/11 - A number of people received phone calls the morning of September 11, 2001 that they believed were made by individuals on board the planes that crashed in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania. Descriptions of these calls, however, reveal something odd. According to the official story we have been told, the callers were in an unprecedented crisis, stuck on planes under the control of murderous terrorists, and with no knowledge of whether they were going to be allowed to live or die. Yet in many of the phone calls, the caller appears to have been remarkably calm. Perhaps if just a few of them–for example, those with specific personal experiences, like the flight attendant who was a former police officer–had maintained their composure, then this would be less remarkable. Yet the large majority of the callers displayed this same calmness. In their recollections, some of the people who received the calls have indeed commented on this fact, apparently surprised by it. Some of them have also commented on the absence of panic, screaming, or other sounds of chaos in the background.

• 9/11 third tower mystery 'solved': By Mike Rudin: BBC, Conspiracy Files - The final mystery of 9/11 will soon be solved, according to US experts investigating the collapse of the third tower at the World Trade Center. The 47-storey third tower, known as Tower Seven, collapsed seven hours after the twin towers. Investigators are expected to say ordinary fires on several different floors caused the collapse. Conspiracy theorists have argued that the third tower was brought down in a controlled demolition. Unlike the twin towers, Tower Seven was not hit by a plane. The National Institute of Standards and Technology, based near Washington DC, is expected to conclude in its long-awaited report this month that ordinary fires caused the building to collapse. That would make it the first and only steel skyscraper in the world to collapse because of fire.

COMMENTARY: As George Orwell put it back in 1944: "... the words 'I heard it on the BBC' had a new meaning - 'I know it must be true'".

As we have stated previously regarding the upcoming Mike Rudin BBC2 hit piece (due to air Sunday 06th July), we fully expect this to be full of manipulative spin, hyperbole, political rhetoric, and lies - either bold faced, or by omission.

As one other person has humorously commented, the BBC might as well say that WTC7 was hit by a plane!

Although on the surface the BBC may seem to be at times 'rebellious' and critical of certain issues such as the War on Terror, in reality this Corporation is actually deeply involved in whitewashing the real truth behind such things.  

Tomorrows 'Conspiracy Files' hit piece will be one such example.

• ANALYSIS FROM 911BLOGGER.COM: Regarding the aforementioned article by Mike Rudin, posted on the BBC News website...

It mentions that NIST says "fire fighters could not fight the fires in Tower 7, because they didn't have enough water and focused on saving lives." However, NIST's claim is incorrect. There were in fact fireboats that had been moored near the WTC the morning of 9/11, to provide water to the site. See:
http://www.firehouse.com/terrorist/17_Pharvey.html

One of the boats, the John J. Harvey, could reportedly "pump 16,000 to 20,000 gallons of water a minute. 'That's the equivalent of 15 [fire] engines drafting water,' explained 65-year-old FDNY retiree Bob Lenney, who spent 25 years piloting Harvey." See:
http://www.fireboat.org/press/time_out_092701.asp

In fact, one of NIST's earlier reports stated, "According to the FDNY first-person interviews, water was never an issue at WTC 7 since firefighting was never started in the building." See:
http://wtc.nist.gov/NISTNCSTAR1-8.pdf (p. 110).

• BBC BLOG: Controversy and conspiracies III: From Mike Rudin, producer of The Conspiracy Files series - After the huge response to Richard Porter's blogs last year about 9/11 Part of the conspiracy? I was very keen to get to the bottom of what exactly happened. For the latest Conspiracy Files programme, on 9/11 - The Third Tower (Sunday 6 July at 2100 BST on BBC Two), I've been looking in detail at allegations that there was a conspiracy to deliberately demolish a third tower at the World Trade Center. This third skyscraper was never hit by an aeroplane. There is little photographic evidence of extensive damage. Yet seven hours after the Twin Towers collapsed, this 47-storey building collapsed in a few seconds.   (COMMENTARY: Another unimpressive blog from a BBC editor where the writer answers the questions... by not really answering them at all.  Take for example the issue of the BBC's accidental reportage of the collapse of WTC7 twenty-three minutes before the ACTUAL collapse.  Ever since this footage surfaced in early 2007, the point has been that WTC7 did not simply collapse as an accident, it was planned, a collapse zone was declared, bombs were heard being detonated and a countdown to the collapse given.  This is DOCUMENTED.  And the fact that the BBC and other news services reported the collapse too early only adds to the vast amount of prior knowledge to an event that the BBC would otherwise rather you believe was an 'accidental' collapse due to fire.  However Mike Rudin sidesteps this whole devastating issue (and presumably will also do so in the upcoming BBC2 documentary) stating that Reuters got the story that WTC7 had collapsed based on an amazing assumption that it was going to collapse and so the BBC repeated this press release... very circular logic!  That would be like me saying 'Okay, I did stab this person, but it wasn't me that killed them... they bled to death'.  This technique is known as Sophistry... Something used by defense lawyers all the time in murder cases.  Is that the BBC's job?  Mike Rudin has clearly done his homework and knows how to explain by not explaining. /// RELATED RECENT WTC7 NEWS: Leaked NIST Docs: "Unusual" Event Before Collapse Of WTC 7 - Unexplained "jet of flames" shot out of window before implosion of skyscraper)

• 9/11 hero dog 'to be cloned' - Trakr, a dog that sniffed out survivors from under the rubble of the World Trade Centre after the September 11 terror attacks, may be cloned. The German shepherd, who lives with his owner, James Symington, in Los Angeles, was picked by BioArts International, a Californian cloning firm, as the most "clone-worthy" canine in a competition offering an owner a free chance to replicate their pet. Mr Symington said he and Trakr were among the first search and rescue teams to arrive at the New York site after the attacks, and were responsible for locating the last human survivor under about 30 feet of debris. Now aged 15, the dog no longer has use of his back legs due to a degenerative neurological disorder.  According to BioArts, experts believe the condition may be linked to exposure to toxic smoke at the World Trade Centre site. However, some specially-bred species of dogs suffer similar degenerative conditions.

Having taken its rightful place alongside Popular Mechanics and The History Channel as one of the 21st century's most plentiful peddlers of yellow journalism with their first 9/11 hit piece last year, "Auntie Beeb" is set to have another crack at the whip on July 6th when it airs a documentary about the collapse of WTC Building 7, the 47-storey skyscraper that imploded into its own footprint on 9/11 without being hit by a plane, called The Third Tower.   (RELATED: See our affiliated archive on the February 2007 BBC Hit Piece '9/11 - The Conspiracy Files')

The UK suffered from many more victims of terrorism before the 9/11 attacks in the US in 2001, according to official figures.

• Former Senator Gravel Backs NYC 9/11 Commission - After two presidential runs in one year, former Senator Mike Gravel is setting his sites on New York City politics, specifically a grassroots effort to have New York City citizens vote to establish a new September 11th investigation commission. The petition drive needs at least 30,000 residents to give their signatures in order to place a potential amendment to the city charter on the November ballot. The former Alaska senator and lifelong political loose cannon threw his weight behind the effort to establish a second, privately funded investigation into the events of September 11th, in response to what he called a fatally flawed 9/11 Commission report. “Even the commissioners and their panderers admit it had shortcomings” Gravel said. “This commission will be made up of people with only one stake: finding the truth.”

• Lawmaker takes 9/11 doubts global - In a September 2003 article for The Guardian newspaper, Michael Meacher, who served as Tony Blair's environment minister from May 1997 to June 2003, shocked the establishment by calling the global war on terrorism "bogus." Even more controversially, he implied that the U.S. government either allowed 9/11 to happen, or played some role in the destruction wrought that day. Besides Meacher, few politicians have publicly questioned America's official 9/11 narrative — until Diet member Yukihisa Fujita. In January 2008 Fujita, a member of the Democratic Party of Japan, asked the Japanese Parliament and Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda to explain gaping holes in the official 9/11 story that various groups — including those who call themselves the "911 Truth Movement" — claim to have exposed. Fujita, along with a growing number of individuals — including European and American politicians — are leading a charge to conduct a thorough, independent investigation of what happened on Sept. 11, 2001.

• 9/11 Conspiracy Song Borrows Bee Gees' 'Stayin' Alive' - A YouTube-based political cover/parody act calling itself The Free Bees rewrote the lyrics of the 1970s disco anthem and Saturday Night Fever theme "Stayin' Alive" to promote the theory that the tragedy of 9/11 was a home-grown conspiracy. The song and video (embedded), called "9/11's a Lie," kicks off with the lyrics, "Well you can tell by the way the buildings fell / There was something wrong, Now it's time to tell." The refrain includes: "Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother, 9/11's a lie, 9/11's a lie / Neo-cons are shaking, the world has started waking / 9/11's a lie, 9/11's a lie." There's no official statement yet on how the surviving members of the Bee Gees feel about having their iconic hit rewritten.

• 9/11; Response to a Financial Times Report regarding 9/11: "fails to deal with the evidence" - An Evidence-Based Response to Peter Barber regarding his article, "The Truth is Out There", Financial Times, June 7, 2008. Dear Mr. Barber: I am a professional medical librarian who delivered "best evidence" literature to the public health officers of the British Columbia government for 25 years. Your article, "The Truth is Out There", is an "ad hominem" approach to a critically serious matter, and it unfortunately fails to deal with the evidence involved.

• Sneak Peak - TRUTH RISING: The 9/11 Chronicles Part One - An Alex Jones Film. Coming to the Infowar July 4th, 2008 & online first at Prison Planet.tv. This film follows the growing momentum of 9/11 truth, as people throughout the world take action against their globalist masters. Shot unlike anything you have ever experienced from Alex Jones, cinema verite' style, this masterpiece not only exposes the mistreatment of our 9/11 heroes, but also shows how a growing number of people around the world are questioning the official version of events that day. Featuring interviews with Willie Nelson, Rosie O'Donnell, Jesse Ventura, George Carlin, Martin Sheen, as well as confrontations with many political figures including Bill Clinton, David Rockefeller and Arnold Schwarzenegger. 

• The Truth is Out There & What Happened to Building 7? - When Cynthia McKinney speaks the words of Martin Luther King Jr, they resound through the church with some of King’s cadence. “A time comes,” declares the former US congresswoman from Georgia, “when silence is betrayal.” The congregation answers with whoops and calls of “That’s right!” King was talking about America’s war in Vietnam. More than 40 years later, before the packed pews of the Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles, McKinney is speaking of the American government’s war on its own people. The shock and awe phase of this conflict, we had been told earlier, began on September 11 2001, when the Bush administration launched attacks on New York and Washington, or at least waved them through.

• The Three Amigos on 9/11 - The Corbett Report has just released the final installment in a three-part YouTube documentary series seeking to highlight some of the bizarre facts surrounding the movements and whereabouts of President Bush, Vice President Cheney and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld on the day of 9/11. The three videos can be watched in the players below (Follow this link). Where Was Rumsfeld on 9/11?

• Largest Swiss Newspaper Asks if Bush Was Behind 9/11 - 2,973 humans died with the attacks of 9/11. "Bin Laden" and "Al Qaeda," the Bush clan cried. The world believed them. In the meantime even scientists doubt the Bush version. Now, Swiss university professors Albert A. Stahel and Daniele Ganser raise new questions. "Something is not correct," says strategy expert Stahel in "World Week", and here he refers to the "incomplete" official US Government 9/11 Report of 2004.  

• Corr brother says 9/11 'an inside job' - CORRS guitarist Jim Corr has claimed that there was overwhelming evidence that the 9/11 attacks in America were carried out by "rogue elements" of US President George Bush's "neo-con administration". In a rare intervention into the political arena, the male singer with The Corrs band came out against the Lisbon Treaty claiming that it is "tip-toe totalitarianism in the West". In an interview with Matt Cooper on Today FM's 'Last Word', Corr made the case for voting 'No' to Lisbon, claiming it could introduce the death penalty to Ireland and contribute to a "new world order".  Corr's opposition is based on his three years "studying the New World Order which the European Union is a part of".

• Sept 11 prosecutors expect criticism over evidence - U.S. prosecutors preparing to try accused September 11 plotters expect criticism if they seek to use defendants' statements as evidence, because of the abuse of suspects during interrogation. But they say it will not deter them. A team of federal prosecutors working under military leadership is helping to prepare cases against "high-value" terrorism suspects including five facing charges of participating in the September 11, 2001, attacks. The cases begin next week with the arraignment of the five at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

• Wii And Arcade Game ‘Target: Terror’ Is A Response To 9/11, Sequel Coming - It’s a bit ironic I’m spending time writing about my love for “Target: Terror,” a game with a Metacritic score of just 34, during a week where Stephen Totilo is examining reviews. I tracked down Eugene Jarvis, the head of Raw Thrills, who created the arcade version of “Target: Terror.” This is the man responsible for “Defender” and “Robotron” — true classics! I had no idea our interview would end up evoking 9/11. “Target: Terror,” released last month for the Wii, is awesome — just not in the way you’d think. It’s not a very good game in the traditional sense, but it’s full of hysterical b-movie charm (think “Evil Dead”). It’s a different kind of good.

• Torture policies undermine 9/11 case - The Pentagon’s decision to drop war-crimes charges against Mohammed al-Qahtani, the alleged “20th hijacker” in the 9/11 attacks, again underscores the consequences of the Bush administration’s descent into torture and other abusive treatment of “war on terror” detainees. If al-Qahtani’s case had gone forward, the U.S. government would have been forced to reveal its own violations of the Geneva Convention, anti-torture statutes and the laws of war, according to lawyers representing al-Qahtani. “All of the [incriminating] statements Mohammad al-Qahtani made or is alleged to have made were the result of torture or made under the threat of torture and that is in my view why the government decided to dismiss his case at this point,” said Vince Warren, executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) in New York.

• Prominent Structural Engineers Say Official Version of 9/11 "Impossible" "Defies Common Logic" "Violates the Law of Physics" - Numerous structural engineers now publicly challenge the government's account of the destruction of the Trade Centers on 9/11, including: A prominent engineer with 55 years experience, in charge of the design of hundreds of major building projects including high rise offices, former member of the California Seismic Safety Commission and former member of the National Institute of Sciences Building Safety Council (Marx Ayres) believes that the World Trade Centers were brought down by controlled demolition.

• 9/11 Security Courtesy of Marvin P. Bush - Marvin P. Bush, the president’s younger brother, was a principal in a company called Securacom that provided security for the World Trade Center, United Airlines, and Dulles International Airport. The company, Burns noted, was backed by KuwAm, a Kuwaiti-American investment firm on whose board Marvin Burns also served. [Utne] According to its present CEO, Barry McDaniel, the company had an ongoing contract to handle security at the World Trade Center "up to the day the buildings fell down."

• SOMETHING ANECDOTAL THAT YOU MAY NOT HAVE SEEN!:  Here we have a shot from a 1997 episode of the (utterly corrupt) Fox Corporations 'The Simpsons' TV series... Probably a coincidence, but worth noting!

(FINAL COMMENTARY: This is highly likely an unfortunate coincidence, although remember the Pilot episode of the Lone Gunmen TV series which was also put out by Fox, which aired six months prior to 9/11 and centered around a plotline in which criminal elements of the US government attempt to fly a plane into the WTC in order to start a war on terror - BIZARRE but true).

• Rice defends post 9/11 interrogation techniques - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Thursday defended tough interrogation techniques for terrorism suspects approved by the Bush administration in the wake of 9/11, saying they were necessary to protect America from new attacks. In her most extensive public comments about how the administration dealt with detainee interrogations in the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, and the anthrax attacks that followed, Rice insisted the methods of questioning complied with both U.S. law and treaty obligations. But she acknowledged that those rules had since changed and that the United States was a "different place" then, adding that the administration's top priority at the time had been preventing new attacks and not necessarily observing fine legal points. "The fact is that after Sept. 11, whatever was legal in the face of not just the attacks of Sept. 11, but the anthrax attacks that happened, we were in an environment in which saving America from the next attack was paramount," Rice said.

• 9/11 hero's parents, fiancee fight over pension - Until they sat down together yesterday in a Brooklyn courtroom, Doreen Noone said she had not spoken to the parents of her dead firefighter fiance, Kevin Prior, since 2004. In that time, Noone, 36, a remedial reading teacher from Lindenhurst, and Gerard and Marian Prior of Bellmore, have been ensnared in a bitter legal fight over who has the rights to Kevin's pension following his death on Sept. 11.

• 9/11 Workers Face Chronic Mental Impairment: Stress levels comparable to those seen in returning Afghanistan war veterans, study says - Workers and volunteers involved in recovery efforts at the World Trade Center following the 9/11 terrorist attacks have much higher levels of psychological distress than the general population, new research shows. The study analyzed mental health questionnaires completed by more than 10,000 World Trade Center recovery workers between 10 months and 61 months after Sept. 11, 2001. It found that 11.1 percent of the workers met criteria for probable post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), 8.8 percent had probable depression, 5 percent had probable panic disorder, and 62 percent had substantial stress reaction.

• WeAreChange Assaulted by Police in Louisville: Oliver North Confronted; Video Footage Confiscated - Members of WeAreChange were physically removed from Louisville Exposition Center on Sunday after confronting Iran Contra figure Oliver North. Members questioned North on his involvement with Continuity of Government, the new 9/11 investigation and concentration camps in America.

• Moore on new 9/11 Film: "The crimes that these people have committed go far beyond ..." - With his follow-up to "Fahrenheit 9/11," Michael Moore wants to examine America as an empire, study its standing since the Sept. 11 attacks and present revelations to surprise audiences as much as the first film did. But he doesn't want to make a sequel. "To just say it's a sequel is so wrong," Moore told The Associated Press on Friday at the Cannes Film Festival, where he met with potential international distributors for the film, due out in 2009.

• The Red Pill Released Today For Free - Today is the release date for the short documentary film "The Red Pill." The film, less than 20 minutes in length, is not meant for "the choir" and is instead meant as an introduction to the world of the shadow government, 9/11 truth and the importance of a new 9/11 investigation. The film can be viewed and downloaded for free at Google Video.   (OFFICIAL WEBSITE: redpillmovie.com)

• Tommy Chong on 9/11 Truth - Asked about his opinion of the events of September 11, 2001, by Alex Jones Show guest host Jason Bermas, Canadian-American comedian, actor and musician Tommy Chong responded by mentioning the fact that the bin Laden family were granted extraordinary White House privileges to fly out of U.S. airspace following the attacks, at a time when access to the United States was restricted and required special government approval. According to Richard Clarke, the Bush administration decided to allow a group of Saudis to fly out of U.S. airspace just after Sept. 11. At least four flights with about 140 Saudis, including approximately two-dozen members of the bin Laden family, flew to Saudi Arabia on the week of September 11, thus avoiding being interviewed or interrogated by the FBI.

• 8 officers who died of post-9/11 illness on NYPD memorial - More than two years after he took his last breath, a detective who developed lung disease after toiling in the World Trade Center's ruins has been added to the New York Police Department's wall of heroes. James Zadroga was one of eight officers who died of post-Sept. 11 illness added to the NYPD's memorial wall, their names engraved onto bronze plaques in the lobby of police headquarters. They became the first NYPD members to be memorialized for dying of illnesses they blame on the dust they breathed at ground zero. "It gives a just honor to Jimmy and to the other officers who worked that day and the days that followed," said Joseph Zadroga, James Zadroga's father, at Wednesday's ceremony. Zadroga, 34, worked hundreds of hours at ground zero beginning Sept. 11, 2001. He soon developed respiratory ailments and died in January 2006 of lung disease.

• Government Itself Won't Swear To Official Theory of 9/11 - While many people question the government's conclusions about 9/11, rest assured that the government agencies tasked with investigating 9/11 are confident that the government's answer to the following questions is correct: (1) How could a rag-tag bunch of hijackers penetrate the strongest military in history and disable normal defensive procedures? (2) How could 3 super-strong, over-engineered buildings become the first modern steel-frame high-rises in history to collapse due to fire, falling at virtually free-fall speed, and exhibiting many indications normally associated with controlled demolition? At least the government itself is confident about the answers to these questions, right? Well, actually...

• Not kooky to doubt Bush 9/11 story - Letter to the Editor: I was disappointed with your piece on Sen. Karen Johnson's views concerning 9/11. The editorial implies that anyone who investigates the veracity of the Bush government's version of 9/11 is on the same plane as a Jonestown cult member, a distortion to be avoided by any who claim to value intellectual honesty. Unfortunately, without a fair hearing from established press such as The Arizona Republic, what may very well be a sound and factual argument will continue to be vilified as dangerous heresy.

• NYPD Officers Killed by 9/11 Illnesses Honored on 'Wall of Heroes' - Eight city cops who succumbed to 9/11 dust-related illnesses will be memorialized on the NYPD's "Wall of Heroes" for officers killed in the line of duty - a poignant nod to their kin, who spent years battling City Hall over how the deaths should be classified. The decision by Police Commissioner Ray Kelly to include the names of the fallen officers on the memorial at One Police Plaza will culminate May 7 in an emotional ceremony at which he and Mayor Bloomberg will preside. "We are happy about it, but it's been a long battle," said Joseph Zadroga, whose son, Detective James Zadroga, died in January 2006 from lung disease after spending about 450 hours at Ground Zero. For years, sickened officers and their families sparred with Bloomberg over whether their illnesses were caused by their logging hundreds of hours at the smoking pile of the World Trade Center and at the Fresh Kills landfill.

• New Dark Knight poster distinctly post-9/11 - A very cool Dark Knight poster is debuted, and features the modern iconography of fear... The whysoserious website set up to promote Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight has released a sensational new poster with a rather post-9/11 sensibility. The poster features Christian Bale as the caped crusader, poised heroically in front of an apparently burning building onto which the Bat-motif has been carved in flames.

• 9/11: The Lack of Foundation Damage at the Pentagon is Irreconcilable with the Official Reports and Data - The lack of foundation damage at the Pentagon is irreconcilable with the official reports and is strong physical evidence contradicting the 9/11 official story. The ASCE Building Performance Report has meticulously documented the damage to the building and has come to the conclusion that all damage from the alleged plane impact was limited to the bottom two floors, but primarily below the 2nd floor slab so that 90 tons of jumbo jet would have slid on it's belly across the 1st floor slab all the way through the C-ring.

• U.S. environment head not liable for 9/11 assurances - The former head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency cannot be held liable for assurances she gave about air safety following the Sept. 11 attacks in New York, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday. Christine Todd Whitman led the agency at the time of the attacks and was sued by people who lived and worked in lower Manhattan who accused her of statements that "falsely represented ... that the air in and around lower Manhattan was safe to breathe." The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit found that Whitman was faced with conflicting information about dangers posed by the dust and that she had passed on assurances that came from the White House.

• We Are Change To Release Assault Videos - After months of tolerating verbal and physical abuse from a fringe group of emotionally unstable "no-planers" at ground zero, Luke Rudkowski and We Are Change have had enough, and are set to release video showing the assaults and attempts to smear We Are Change as being complicit in the Times Square recruitment center bombing. While We Are Change were busy confronting people intimately involved in the 9/11 cover-up like Rudy Giuliani and raising money for the first responders, police, firemen and other heroes of that fateful day, fringe nutcases who advocate discredited and divisive non-issues did little other than harass and abuse Luke Rudkowski and his fellow We Are Change members in New York. The harassment came to a head when the ringleader of the fringe gang, Nico Haupt, gatecrashed a We Are Change ground zero vigil with a huge sign that read "We Did The Time Square Bombing," in a crass attempt to smear the activist group as terrorists. For weeks, the police completely ignored Haupt despite his brazen attempt to incite hostility.

• Netanyahu says 9/11 terror attacks good for Israel - The Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv on Wednesday reported that Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu told an audience at Bar Ilan university that the September 11, 2001 terror attacks had been beneficial for Israel. "We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Ma'ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor." Netanyahu reportedly made the comments during a conference at Bar-Ilan University on the division of Jerusalem as part of a peace deal with the Palestinians.

• "Bond Girl" Comes Out for 9/11 Truth - Lana Wood, actress/activist, recently not only came public on 9/11 truth, but helped create a very creative youtube video that can reach many. Spread it widely, let’s get it up on the youtube rankings - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8hY41o4g58 - It’s a great video because it starts off in a very “youtube-ey quirky” play on her roll as Plenty O’Toole in “Diamonds are Forever,” but THEN very quickly delves into the seriousness of the 9/11 issue, and Lana’s impassioned plea for all of us to get educated on 9/11, and do all we can to launch the first Week of Truth campaign occurring April 16 to 22nd.   (YOUTUBE LINK: Click here)

• Ahmadinejad's Bumbling 9/11 Comments Please Neo-Cons: Iranian President does not represent the truth movement, obsession with his idiocy only proves debunkers are frightened to take on real experts - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's bumbling comments about 9/11, in which he crudely questioned the official story by referring to the death toll, play right into the establishment media and the Neo-Cons' hands and give them an ample opportunity to debunk the entire truth movement - don't think for a minute they won't seize the chance. "Four or five years ago a suspect event took place in New York," President Ahmadinejad said. "A building collapsed and they said 3,000 people had been killed but never published their names," he said in a speech in the holy city of Qom.

• Bush Warns of Another 9/11 - The perverse and perilous paradox of this presidency is that the more Bush and Cheney fail, the more they succeed. Bush parlayed his criminal failure to protect and come to the rescue of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast due to Hurricane Katrina into getting Congress to pass in September 2007 the John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007. The Warner Act abrogates the Posse Comitatus Act (the Civil War law that prohibits the use of federal troops in domestic affairs) and gives the President the power to declare, on his own say so, a "public" emergency" and carry out mass" target="_blank">click here roundups, arrests and detentions.

• July 7 trial told of 9/11 images - Images of the ruined World Trade Centre and Pentagon were found on the computer of an east London man accused of aiding the July 7 bombers, a court has heard. Kingston Crown Court heard the photos were found on a computer belonging to Waheed Ali, accused of accompanying two bombers on a reconnaissance trip. Ali, 24, from Tower Hamlets, denies conspiracy to cause explosions.   (COMMENTARY: 9/11 Images on his computer?  He must have done it then I guess!)

• We Are Change UK - 11th of every month - US Embassy - Members of We Are Change UK visited the United States Embassy in London this April 11th in support of the truthaction.org international autonomous grassroots campaign 'The Eleventh of Every Month'. We encountered some Iraqi refugee's and a large number of police officers.

• 9/11 conspiracy theories may contain the truth - To the Editor: The last time I took copious notes was in grad school, that is, until March 14's 9/11 Truth's presentation at the Hampshire County Library. When they started out their information stunned me and I began writing. Prior to this event, and the library is to be commended for providing a place where citizens can collectively speak truth, I had trouble with the conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11. As the hard facts took their toll on my misperceptions I heard my self-concept telling me that, at large, people who disbelieve in the conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 use their disbeliefs to ease their embarrassment at having had their faith in our systems ruthlessly taken advantage of.

• UN Human Rights Official Wants Investigation Into US Government Role In 9/11: John Bolton: "This is exactly why we voted against the new human rights council." - An official in the newly formed UN Human Rights Council has called for a fresh investigation into the events of 9/11 in order to examine the possible role that neoconservatives may have played in the attacks. The New York Sun picked up the story today, explaining that Richard Falk, a professor of international law emeritus at Princeton University, and an expert on human rights was assigned to a new position within the council on March 26.

• 9/11 Truthstock kicks off today: Speakers and films present new views about the tragic day - Everyone agrees that the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 in New York and Washington, D.C. were national tragedies, but even 6 1/2 years later, people still don't agree on what actually happened that day. "9/11 Truthstock 2008" kicks off a series of events today to get San Diego State to rethink the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. "It's all about information," said David Taylor of www.truther.org, an on-campus group convinced that the truth behind the tragedies has yet to be publicly revealed. "We're speaking about information that the mainstream media is ignoring and that a lot of very smart and intellectual people are thinking about, and we're trying to say that there needs to be another investigation into what occurred on 9/11."

• Corporate Media Attempts to Marginalize Jesse Ventura - As the videos here demonstrate, at least certain members of the corporate media are paying attention to Jesse Ventura’s appearance earlier this week on the Alex Jones Show. As should be expected, they are making him out to be a nut, primarily for going public “with a radio host who believes the U.S. government was behind the attacks.” In order to diminish the impact of Ventura’s assertion the official 9/11 version is little more than a fairy tale, the talking heads here pull out all the stops, even allude that his book, Don’t Start the Revolution Without Me, is more fiction than fact, in short that Ventura is a liar. After they characterize him as a fiction writer and eccentric nut case, it is hoped people will consider his opinions about the events of September 11, 2008, as the ravings of a mad man. It won’t work, of course. Millions of people are now awake to the fact the government had something to do with the events, although many are still unable to accept the possibility the government would so such a thing, so deep and severe is the propaganda.

• Former Governor Jesse Ventura: WTC Collapse A Controlled Demolition: Navy veteran and movie star savages official story, says media covering up truth about attacks - Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura vehemently savaged the official 9/11 story on a syndicated national radio show today, saying the WTC collapsed like a controlled demolition and was pulverized to dust as he also highlighted the impossible 10 second free fall speed of the towers. Appearing on The Alex Jones Show, Ventura said that his initial reaction to 9/11 was much like most people at the time, and he accepted the official story outright, a response he now regrets because he was in a position of power and could have used it to raise a lot of pointed questions. "I kicked myself when it initially happened that the light didn't go off but I was so shocked that this thing had even taken place that I apologize for not being more aware," said Ventura, adding that watching Loose Change at the insistence of his son was part of the catalyst for his wake up call.

• Top Comedian Believes In 9/11 Conspiracy: Actress Cho says Americans will be angry when they realize true agenda behind attacks - Top comedian and actress Margaret Cho has joined Willie Nelson and Charlie Sheen in questioning the official 9/11 story, stating that the public were going to become very angry when they realized there was a conspiracy behind the terror attacks. Appearing on the nationally syndicated Alex Jones Show, Cho said her doubts about 9/11 were sparked by President Bush's non-reaction to the unfolding crisis. "I got concerned right after 9/11 where the plane had hit the World Trade Center and he was in that classroom with all those children and they told him what was going on and he did nothing," said Cho.

• ANNOUNCEMENT: ALEX JONES INTERVIEWS FORMER GOVERNOR OF MINNESOTA JESSE VENTURA EXPOSING 9/11 TRUTH!!! - We missed it but we are being told that Ventura discussed 9/11 truth in some depth in an explosive interview this afternoon on the Alex Jones show on the GCN Radio Network.  A report and MP3 download should be available very soon (hopefully within the hour as we write this at approx 19:15 UK-GMT).  Presumably prisonplanet.com should be the place to go for info as this story develops!

• Centers Tap Into Personal Databases: State Groups Were Formed After 9/11 - Intelligence centers run by states across the country have access to personal information about millions of Americans, including unlisted cellphone numbers, insurance claims, driver's license photographs and credit reports, according to a document obtained by The Washington Post. One center also has access to top-secret data systems at the CIA, the document shows, though it's not clear what information those systems contain.

• Ted Olson's Report of Phone Calls from Barbara Olson on 9/11: Three Official Denials: by David Ray Griffin - Late in the day on 9/11, CNN put out a story that began: “Barbara Olson, a conservative commentator and attorney, alerted her husband, Solicitor General Ted Olson, that the plane she was on was being hijacked Tuesday morning, Ted Olson told CNN.” According to this story, Olson reported that his wife had “called him twice on a cell phone from American Airlines Flight 77,” saying that “all passengers and flight personnel, including the pilots, were herded to the back of the plane by armed hijackers. The only weapons she mentioned were knives and cardboard cutters.”

• Some 9/11 victims weren't compensated - More than 100 people who developed serious illnesses from exposure to Ground Zero overflowed a Capitol Hill hearing room Tuesday and two House subcommittees debated whether the government should compensate them. The victims, including police, firefighters, construction workers and even former bus driver Gil Gonzalez of Jersey City, likely would have qualified for federal payments from a fund created in 2001, only their symptoms showed up too late. The 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund paid out more than $7 billion in taxpayer funds to nearly 5,600 survivors and victims, but was required by law to stop accepting claims in December 2003.

• NEW 9/11 FILM OUT OF THE UK: The Elephant In The Room: Trailer - Six and a half years after the tragedy of 9/11 the psychological impact of this catastrophic event has had reverberations across the globe that still linger in modern society's mind like a bad dream. The Elephant In The Room follows filmmaker Dean Puckett as he examines the cultural impact and paranoia that the events have had on British Culture; from the Truth Movement hoping to disseminate the evidence of the day, through Muslim psyche in modern Britain culminating in the return to New York on the 6th anniversary, to see a nation torn apart by its Governments lies and deceit over what exactly happened on the day. We are exposed to the silent shame of America; the 9/11 first responders, thousands of whom are suffering from respiratory illness and disease after their valiant efforts to aid in the emergency. The Elephant In The Room allows them to tell the story that no one else will.

• Attorney General Mukasey lies about 9/11 and international spying - In a recent speech at San Francisco’s Commonwealth Club, Attorney General Michael Mukasey defended the Bush-Cheney administration’s illegal domestic spying agenda by proclaiming that the 9/11 attacks could have been prevented if the government had been able to monitor overseas phone calls to the United States. Like every other member of the Bush-Cheney administration, Mukasey is lying. Lying about the fact that the “war on terrorism” is a fabrication. Lying about the pervasive worldwide eavesdropping capabilities of US intelligence agencies. Lying about the fact that 9/11 was a long-planned Anglo-American false flag covert operation. According to Mukasey’s spin on the now-classic 9/11 fiction, Bush-Cheney “knew there had been a call from some place that was known to be a safe house in Afghanistan and we knew that it came to the United States. We didn’t know precisely where it went. We’ve got 3,000 people who went to work that day, and didn’t come home, to show for that.” 

• Telecom Immunity: Playing the "9/11 Card" ... Again - The Bush administration, never known for its veracity on any issue, once again is playing the "9/11 card" in an desperate attempt to continue violating the Fourth Amendment rights of the American people. U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey, a darling of Senate Democrats prior to his confirmation as Bush's top lawyer, said in speech on Thursday at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, that the September 11, 2001 attacks could have been prevented "if the government had been able to monitor an overseas phone call to the United States," according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

  Dear LC Supporter,
  
  We wanted to get you some updates, as we've been keeping busy here behind the scenes.  Dylan, Jason, and Korey are continuing to tour the country spreading the truth and attending Final Cut screenings.  Jason is en route to California for the Freedom Law Conference (be sure to check it out if you're in the area).  If you'd like to book the guys for an event in your area, please email events@loosechange911.com.  Dylan has been updating his blog again at http://loosechange911.blogspot.com/.
  
  The Loose Change Store is happy to announce that we are now selling the 9/11 Press for Truth DVD!  This film is a great companion to the Loose Change series.  The less aggressive style and subject of the film tend to really appeal to more conservative viewers and is a great intro for skeptics to the movement.  In 9/11 Press for Truth, five of the most prominent members of the Family Steering Committee, including three of the 'Jersey Girls' (recently in the news after Ann Coulter's attacks), tell their story for the first time, providing the most powerful argument yet for why 9/11 still needs investigation. If you haven't seen it yet, we highly recommend checking it out.  If you have seen it, then grab a few copies and pass them out to your friends that weren't willing to watch Loose Change. 
  
  Other news in the store is that, in case you missed it, we are now offering Loose Change Final Cut on spindles.  This means you can buy the full version of the film for as low as $4.50 a copy.  Grab some and start passing them out.  Mail them to your local politicians!
  
  While you're in the store, please be sure to donate to the Fealgood Foundation.  They desperately need your help in their mission of supporting injured 9/11 first responders.  Nearly daily, another first responder reaches out to them for direly needed financial assistance with medical and life bills, and the Foundation is just not able to meet all of the needs right now.  Do your part to help.
  
  Our technical team is busy working on some updates, new tools, and more for our site.  Stay tuned for more news on that front.
  
  As always, we appreciate your support.  Keep up the fight for an independent investigation!

• Government-Funded Investigators Accused Of WTC Cover-Up: American Society of Civil Engineers lied about inability of skyscrapers to withstand airliner impacts - The American Society of Civil Engineers - an organization that was funded by FEMA to investigate the collapse of the twin towers on 9/11 - has been accused of engaging in a cover-up to protect the government, with critics charging the organization falsified conclusions that skyscrapers could not withstand getting hit by airplanes. The group has been forced to convene an investigative panel which could lead to a suspension in government funding. The Federal Emergency Management Agency paid the group about $257,000 to investigate the World Trade Center collapse and their report was released in 2002.

• 9/11 Truth vs The Power of Denial - Americans are quickly coming to a historical fork in the road.  They will either deal with what's wrong...or get steam rolled by it. 9/11 Truth is the ultimate wake up pill. Will our citizens take their Red Pill?

• Top New York Cop Thought Towers Were Bombed On 9/11: Former debunker Dietl admits he shares 9/11 truth activist's questions during confrontation - Highly decorated former New York City detective Bo Dietl admits that his first instinct on 9/11 was that the twin towers were downed with explosives, as he conceded that he shared many questions about the official story with 9/11 truth activists he had formerly debunked on national television. What started out as a adversarial confrontation with members of We Are Change turned into a cordial discussion as Dietl contradicted some of his previous public statements on 9/11 and appeared to agree with the group on several issues, presumably prompted by the fact that his daughter was doing a research paper on 9/11 which lent credence to the suspect nature of the official story behind the attacks. 

• FBI abuse after 9/11 detailed - The FBI illegally collected information on citizens in 2006, continuing its misuse of expanded powers granted by Congress after the 9/11 attacks, an audit by the Justice Department's inspector general said Thursday. The report said the agency violated rules for obtaining phone, e-mail, financial and other records using national security letters, a type of subpoena that doesn't need court approval. A study last year revealed similar abuses. Assistant FBI Director John Miller said the bureau will continue to work to eliminate the problems.

• Is the CIA’s “Mighty Wurlitzer” Playing Geraldo Rivera? - Another example of the 'truthers are terrorists' talking point that corporate media hacks are emanating in unison, as we previously predicted they would. It must have been a disappointment for Faux Mockingbird News. Back on March 7, it was discovered that the “bombing” of the Pentagon recruitment center in Times Square was not the handiwork of “anarchists” or antiwar activists, although the corporate media tried mightily to forge such a link. As it turned out the “letters,” described as a “manifesto,” the corporate media initially attempted to link to the “bombing” were not connected, much to the frustration of trash TV careerist Geraldo Rivera. On Fox and Friends, Geraldo declared Times Square is a “magnet for these crazy people, for anarchists… that’s what I think this is, this bomber isn’t al-Qaeda, isn’t anything like that, he is more like — it’s a man — he’s more like those 9/11 was an inside job kind of guys, they… they protest things in a violent way, but in a violent way almost like the eco-terrorist where they don’t intend the inflict casualties.”

• Whether or not you are a 9/11 truther... - This is a Constitutional (First Amendment) issue and MSNBC is now promoting violence towards those who disagree with their 'government controlled agenda'. This must be addressed by all people, whether or not you are a 9/11 truther, This is a Constitutional (First Amendment) issue and MSNBC is now promoting violence towards those who disagree with their 'government controlled agenda'.

• 9/11 Attacks Harm First Amendment - The shadow of the Sept. 11 terror attacks is eclipsing press freedom and other constitutional safeguards in the United States, Associated Press President and CEO Tom Curley said Thursday. "What has become clear in the aftermath of 9/11 is how much expediency trumps safeguards," Curley said during the annual dinner of the Radio and Television News Directors Foundation. "Congress steps back from its constitutional role of executive oversight. Civilian oversight of the military wanes. A Justice Department interprets laws in ways that extend police powers. More drastically, prisons are established in places where government or military operatives circumvent due process or control trials," Curley said in accepting the foundation's First Amendment Leadership Award. "It's at moments like these when a free press matters most," he said.

• 9/11 TRUTH Issues EXPLODE onto CBS National Radio Yesterday!!: 9/11 Truth (& False Flag Terror) FINALLY on CBS NATIONAL Radio - Jim Bohannan Show !! - STUNNING National CBS Radio Interview! Bohannan is a right wing pro-military radio voice, who's audience has probably NEVER been exposed to 9/11 truth issues. "The Shell Game" author, Steve Alten, came on after an Oil Executive's interview, at about 39:50 in the 1.5 hour show. At about 54:56 it gets REALLY interesting when a caller calls in to discuss 9/11 as a false flag attack. Which unleashes Alten into a deep discussion of 9/11 truth issues. All hell brakes loose in the next few minutes, as Alten enters the realms of 9/11 truth, explaining to the stunned Bohanan and and his virgin (9/11 truth issue) audience that there is a mass 9/11 truth movement in America that involves engineers, police, private investigators, and many other experts challenging the official 9/11 story.

• Environmental Illnesses Haunt Some Who Covered 9/11 - Between 2002 and 2004, The World Trade Center Worker and Volunteer Medical Screening Program surveyed 9,442 workers, including 81 who worked for news agencies. The survey found that this group was five times as likely as the general population to suffer from reduced breathing capacity. The NYPPA has been encouraging 9/11 journalists to fill out an anonymous online survey. By early February, the survey had logged 161 responses. Respondents reported a variety of breathing problems like asthma and persistent coughing, and symptoms of depression and PTSD. Thirty-six of them said post-9/11 health problems have affected their careers.

• Marion Cotillard 'in shock' over 9/11 row, but will not apologise - Marion Cotillard, the Oscar-winning French actress, will not apologise over remarks she made describing the 9/11 attacks as a conspiracy and believes that the comments had been taken out of context and misunderstood. Cotillard, who won the Best Actress statuette last week for her portrayal of Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose, has claimed that the September 11 atrocity had been orchestrated by the owners of the Twin Towers. The comments, made in an interview first broadcast a year ago, have resurfaced on the internet since her Oscar victory. Cotillard said that the towers were destroyed not as part of a terrorist plot, but because it would have been too expensive to rewire them.   (COMMENTARY: Granted, her analysis does not seem to expose much of the picture as to why 9/11 was staged by criminal elements of the US government/military, but what really matters is that she had the courage and integrity to bring attention to the issue.  Here we are in 2008 - six and a half years since 9/11 and we still see these arrogant fools laughing at us and attacking us for seeking and spreading the truth about 9/11.  So on a personal level, for that reason, we can only admire her for speaking out)

• Cotillard's 9/11 Comments Echo Widely-Respected Experts, Public Opinion: Attack dog media attempts to isolate and ridicule French actress by hiding the fact that hundreds of other widely respected experts, as well as the majority of the public, agree with her - A smear campaign against Oscar-winning French actress Marion Cotillard is now in full swing, with the establishment media attempting to hide the fact that her comments about 9/11 echo the sentiment of hundreds of widely-respected intelligence and scientific experts in addition to public opinion. Cotillard's statements about the suspicious collapse of the WTC buildings mirror those of a 20-year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence veteran. In February 2007, 20-year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer, the second-ranking civilian in U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence, and former CIA clandestine services case officer Robert Steele went on record as saying that, "Dick Cheney saw this as a gift of heaven, and organized the 9-11 exercises so as to have complete operational control of the U.S. government, and he "let it happen." Steele also directly accused WTC complex leaseholder Larry Silverstein of having advance knowledge of the attacks and rigging the WTC towers and Building 7 with demolition charges, "In order to clear the area for rebuilding and get the $7 billion in insurance money."

• US christens '9/11 steel' warship - Thousands of people have watched the naming in Louisiana of a US warship built partly from steel salvaged from the World Trade Center. The twin towers in New York were destroyed in the hijacked planes attack of 11 September 2001. Friends and families of 9/11 victims were among those at the ceremony for the new amphibious assault ship, the USS New York, in the base of Avondale. The bow contains 7.5 tonnes of steel taken from Ground Zero. It also bore a shield with two bars to symbolise the towers and a banner with the slogan Never Forget.

• Oscar-Winning Actress Claims The U.S. Was Behind 9/11 Attacks - The French actress who last week won an Oscar for portraying singer Edith Piaf has now sparked controversy by hinting that the U.S. intentionally plotted the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. Marion Cotillard, 32, openly questioned the U.S. government's role in the terror attacks during an interview broadcast on a French website. In the discussion, Cotillard strongly indicated that the collapse of the World Trade Center towers was orchestrated by America. "A tower... I believe it was in Spain, burned for 24 hours. It never collapsed," she said. "In a few minutes, the [World Trade Center] collapsed." "I think we are lied to about a number of things," she added.

• International Investigation of 9/11 Called For - Against a background of escalating ecological crises, and the fact that large parts of the world´s population are being exposed to extreme poverty, inhuman working conditions and increasing social tensions, the annual global military expenditure has risen to more than 1000 billion dollars. The military-industrial complex of just a few G8 countries is responsible for the overwhelming part of this spending, causing incalcuable social and ecological consequences. Unequal distribution of global resources, increasingly controlled by large multinational companies, global debt policy and unfair international trading practices ultimately could not be maintained without military security. In many countries the military is used to repress critical opposition.

• Lawyer Says Bin Laden Did Not Orchestrate 9/11 During Terror Trial: Al-Qaeda leader never claimed responsibility for attack, Van de Wiel tells Australian Supreme Court - Skepticism towards the 9/11 official story reached the Australian Supreme Court this week after a lawyer asserted that the attacks were not orchestrated by Osama bin Laden during the trial of an alleged terror group in Melbourne. "To say that this was all orchestrated by Osama bin Laden is a silly thing to do. He's never claimed responsibility for it," Remy van de Wiel QC told the Australian jury. Unless you accept the credibility of a dodgy videotape of a fat Bin Laden doppelganger "miraculously discovered" in a house in Jalalabad by U.S. troops and pushed as authentic by the ever-honest U.S. government, then van de Wiel has a point.

• Betrayed and Ignored: The Bush Outrage Against the 9/11 First Responders - This week I posted a piece called "Betrayed" about the many 9/11 first responders whose health and lives have been shattered by their work at Ground Zero, and the government's 77 percent cut in healthcare for them in the new Bush budget. At first they were lied to by a government that assured them that there was little or no risk to the work, in order to get Wall Street up and operating; then, once so many came down with respiratory diseases and cancers, they were lied to again by this same government that promised to help them get through the tremendous costs of injuries connected to 9/11. Some of these men and women rallied in Washington yesterday on the capitol steps, hoping to get passage of James Zagroda's bill which attempts to alleviate some of their medical bills and the economic suffering that has resulted from their illnesses.

• CBC: Canadians greet Karl Rove with charges of 9/11 being an inside job! No US media coverage? - When a former President’s aid is greeted in a friendly nation by protesters claiming he had a role in the most horrific attack on the United States in modern history, and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation covers it . . . wouldn’t that be a newsworthy item for US media? One would think so if they lived in a democracy with a vibrant fourth estate. However if they lived in a corporatocracy, they sadly would accept that media was part of a new propaganda art, that enables the rule of corporate government over people's needs for truth.

• Willie Nelson Re-Iterates Comments About 9/11 WTC "Implosion" - Willie Nelson re-iterated comments first made on The Alex Jones Show about the implosion of the World Trade Center twin towers on 9/11, telling Democracy Now that he has questions about the official story. "Well, I have a lot of questions. I think a lot of people have a lot of questions. I think 85 or 90 percent of the people in this country say, “What?” I mean, a plane hit this building, and it fell kind of like that. And another plane hit that building, and it fell kind of like that. About the same time it fell, this one fell the same way. It looked like an implosion somewhere, you know? And then, all of a sudden, the third building fell, and no plane hit it. So, naturally, I’ve got questions."  

• FBI Says Barbara Olsen Did Not Call Ted Olsen: Bush Solicitor General LIED !! - Nationally syndicated talk show host Charles Goyette uncovered blockbuster information in his drive-time interview with author David Ray Griffin. A center piece of the increasingly apparent BULLSH*T story our government and corporate media have fed us for six long years was a complete fabrication! We were fed a lie by Ted Olsen who served as Solictor General for the Bush Administration, when on 9/11 he held a press conference to tell America and the world that his dead wife had called him before her demise from the jet she was on that had just been hijacked. Personally, I thought it was odd at the time that a man would decide to hold a press conference minutes after hearing of his own wife’s death, when it happened on 9/11. If my own wife had just died, the last thing I’d want to do would be to talk to anyone, let alone call a press conference. It didn’t “smell” right. Now we know why it didn’t smell right. It was a lie. The FBI has reported that no such call between Barbara Olsen and Ted Olsen ever took place on 9/11/2001. It was part of the rapidly unraveling scam that is the official story of 9/11. In fact, Griffin went on to explain that there is zero evidence that any hijackers had commandeered a plane at all. True Bush believers will say, whao, wait a minute, we all know they did. How do you know? Because Bush told you.

• Study Highlights Deep Seated Psychological Impact Of 9/11: Spectacular images of attacks have "changed the way people dream" - A new study has revealed that the spectacular images broadcast around the world on September 11th 2001 have had a profound psychological impact upon people. Researchers at Tufts University School of Medicine and the Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, have found that every single person they assessed during a study has more vivid and intense dreams since the attacks occurred. Dr. Ernest Hartmann, author of the study, told Reuters Health that he believes everyone who witnessed the attacks has experienced some sort of trauma or emotional arousal.

• These catch-all terror laws are killing off British justice - Slowly, oh so slowly, Britain’s judges are rescuing Britain’s values from the depths to which Tony Blair and his home secretaries plunged them in the knee-jerk response to terrorism. The acts passed by Jack Straw, David Blunkett and Charles Clarke from 2000 onwards did not create a British Guantanamo Bay, but they did signal a shocking collapse in British justice. The present home secretary, Jacqui Smith, wants to further that collapse. Last week the Court of Appeal handed down two trenchant verdicts in an attempt to inject common sense into nonsensical terror laws. One implicitly demanded an apology and compensation from the government for a wholly innocent airline pilot imprisoned in 2001 after the police and Crown Prosecution Service lied to a court that he was the “lead instructor” of the 9/11 hijackers. He had merely been an Algerian who once trained in Florida. Every shred of evidence appeared to have been fabricated by police in America – possibly obtained under torture – and used without question by the British police. The pilot was released after five months of being treated as a terrorist in Belmarsh jail, without explanation, apology or even exoneration. His career, reputation and family were in ruins.

• Pilot Wrongly Accused Of 9/11 Role Could Get Millions In Compensation - THE pilot wrongly accused of training the 9/11 terrorists could be in line for a multi-million-pound payout after winning the right to claim compensation from the Government. Algerian Lotfi Raissi said he "wept with relief" when three appeal court judges overturned earlier rulings barring him from suing for wrongful arrest and imprisonment Under the rules, there is no cap on the amount the 33-year-old can be awarded. Justice officials say the largest sum ever paid out was £2.4 million. Mr Raissi was taken from his home in September 2001, 10 days after the World Trade Centre atrocity. Police acted after a US extradition request from the FBI. He was kept in London's Belmarsh jail for four and a half months before being freed when no evidence was put forward.

• 'CIA set up ill-conceived firms to snag terrorists post 9/11' - Post September 11 attacks in the US, the CIA set up a number of bogus companies in Europe and elsewhere to penetrate terrorist organisation and proliferation networks, but the plan proved ill-conceived, a media report has said. "The CIA set up a network of front companies in Europe and elsewhere after the September 11 attacks as part of a constellation of 'black stations' for a new generation of spies, according to current and former agency officials," Los Angeles Times reported. However, after putting hundreds of millions of dollars into setting up as many as 12 of the companies, the agency had to close down 10 of them as the plan could not deliver due to various reasons.

• 9/11 Timeline Obtains Major New FBI Document - “A contributor to the History Commons has obtained a 298-page document entitled Hijackers Timeline (Redacted) from the FBI, subsequent to a Freedom of Information Act request. The document was a major source of information for the 9/11 Commission's final report. Though the commission cited the timeline 52 times in its report, it failed to include some of the document's most important material. The printed document is dated November 14, 2003, but appears to have been compiled in mid-October 2001 (the most recent date mentioned in it is October 22, 2001), when the FBI was just starting to understand the backgrounds of the hijackers, and it contains almost no information from the CIA, NSA, or other agencies. This raises questions as to why the 9/11 Commission relied so heavily on such an early draft for their information about the hijackers.”

• UK's 'concerns' over 9/11 trials - Foreign Secretary David Miliband has said he has "some concerns" over US military tribunals for six men charged with involvement in the 9/11 attacks. The US government has promised fair trials for the Guantanamo Bay inmates, who could face the death penalty. But human rights groups say the tribunals make this impossible and that the defendants were tortured. Mr Miliband told BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine show there was "absolutely no question" that torture was illegal.

• Rights group attacks US over trials for 9/11 accused - Human rights groups and lawyers in the United States have criticised the decision to use special military commissions to try six men accused of organising the September 11 terrorist attacks. Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff has promised a fair trial for the defendants who are being held at Guantanamo Bay detention camp. Lawyers from the Centre for Constitutional Rights are representing one of the defendants. Organisation executive director Vincent Warren says the six men should be tried in criminal courts. "With respect to the rights that the general is saying the detainees have, it's really problematic on a number of levels," he said. "First of all, while they may have a right to remain silent in this process, they didn't have the right to remain silent when they were being waterboarded over a period of time and held in CIA facilities." 

• Tortured Patsies To Take Fall For 9/11: Pentagon hopes executed scapegoats will make questions disappear - After half a dozen years of waterboarding, genital zapping, sleep deprivation and brainwashing, the Pentagon has finally found six patsies who will readily welcome their 72 virgins and take the fall for 9/11, providing debunkers with ample ammunition to dismiss questions about the gaping holes in the official story of the terror attacks. "Among those held at Guantanamo is Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the suspected mastermind of the attack six years ago in which hijacked planes were flown into buildings in New York and Washington. Five others are expected to be named in sworn charges," reports the Associated Press. The fact that KSM's confession included a plan to target the Plaza Bank building in Washington state, which was not founded until 2006, four years after the alleged Al-Qaeda mastermind's arrest, should provide a clue as to the reliability of the "terror mastermind's" culpability for 9/11.

• 9/11: OBAMA IN FAVOUR OF DEATH PENALTY WITH 'FLAWLESS TRIALS' - Obama Barack is in favour of the death penalty for the terrorists who should turn out to be responsible for 9/11, but he also pretends flawless procedures at the Guantanamo military commissions. 'Obviously, we need to make sure that the organisers and executors of those terror attacks should be brought to justice and death penalty is appropriate for such heinous crimes,' said the senator of Illinois in order to comment the Pentagon request for a death penalty against six Guantanamo prisoners. 'However, these trials must be flawless.' Hence the request that terrorists should not be judged by the controversial Guantanamo military commissions: 'Those trials are too important, the system of military commissions has many faults, all those who have been condemned for 9/11 so far deserved an appeal.' John McCain, the favourite Republican candidate for the White House, is tougher on this issue. According to him, the trial involving the six people accused of being responsible for 9/11 should have started long ago: 'I am sorry that it took so long, let's get this trial started,' he said and reiterated in an interview that - should he be elected - he will close the Guantanamo detention centre and transfer prisoners to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

  Dear Loose Change Supporter,
  
  We here at Louder Than Words and Alex Jones productions are proud to officially release "Loose Change Final Cut" on Google Video in the highest quality possible. Encouraging people to copy these films and hand them out, as well as hold screenings in Coffee Houses and Churches was a good start, but has not been enough in the past. Our success in spreading awareness about the truth behind September 11th, 2001 is in large part with our ability to share our films freely through internet. We are hoping that all of you who have not seen the Final Cut will not only watch it, but email it to everyone you know, embed it on your Myspace or personal website, blog it, and post it on forums worldwide.
  
  With The former Italian President saying it is well known within the intelligence community that 9/11 was a CIA and Mossad Op, and the Prime Minister of Japan and his cabinet being questioned about Insider Trading and the implosion of World Trade Center 7 by the opposition party, global interest in 9/11 truth is exploding. If you decide today to share this information with everyone, family members may finally recieve answers to their many questions, and those who were criminally complicit may be tried and exposed. Its as easy as sending a link folks. Loose Change Final Cut puts the official government fable of 9/11 to rest, it truly is the nail in the coffin if you decide to be the hand that holds the hammer.

• Bill O'Reilly Smears An American Icon And Declares Himself A Patriot In The Same Breath: Brands Willie Nelson a "pinhead" and says he is a patriot for guessing football scores - Fox News bigot Bill O'Reilly took time on his "factor" last night to call music legend Willie Nelson a "pinhead" for supporting 9/11 truth, while declaring himself the ultimate patriot for being able to guess football scores. In his cutting edge segment entitled "Pinheads and Patriots" O'Reilly first took time to extol the virtues of his own fierce patriotism.

• Bush's budget may cut 9/11 health funds - U.S. President George Bush's new budget would cut health funding for people affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks by more than 75 percent, a report said. Monday's budget release came a day before the publication of a study in the Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, which cites continued emotional distress and sleeping problems for preschool children who witnessed New York's 9/11 terrorist attacks, the New York Daily News reported Tuesday. "It looks like we found the children the president wants to leave behind," Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., said. The study reportedly shows preschool children who saw the attacks on 9/11 are three times more susceptible to anxiety and depression and five times more susceptible to sleeping difficulties than kids who did not witness the events.

• Willie Nelson questions Sept. 11 on local talk radio show - Willie Nelson went on a nationally syndicated radio show Monday, and questioned the official story of what happened on Sept. 11. Nelson said the collapse of the World Trade Center towers reminded him of a hotel implosion in Las Vegas. “The day it happened, I saw one fall and it was just so symmetrical,” Nelson said on Alex Jones' talk show. “I said, ‘Wait a minute, I just saw that last week at the casino in Las Vegas’, and you see these implosions all the time, and the next one fell and I said, ‘Hell, there’s another one.' They’re trying to tell me that an airplane did it and I can’t go along with that.”

• Audio: Alex Jones Interviews American Icon Willie Nelson - Alex welcomes American "outlaw country" music icon Willie Nelson to the show. Mr. Nelson discusses social and political issues, the drug war, the war in Iraq, 9/11, Willie's activism in the field of alternative energy and much more.

• Was 9/11 Truth Giuliani's Demise?: You'll be AMAZED What Corporate Media Hid from YOU! - Peggy Noonan, a Republican speechwriter (Reagan's among others), was perplexed last night on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart as to why Rudy fell.” It was a mystery to her. Probably because she gets all her information from FOX News and the other corporate media. Of course those who' s heads aren' t buried in the corporate idiot box, know that 9/11 truth was Rudy' s demise. First of all, how did Rudy, a Mayor even become a possible GOP nominee. Corporate media and the Bush Administration began a myth about Rudy Giuliani beginning on 9/11/2001?

• MIND CONTROL AFTER-EFFECTS OF 9/11: 9/11 Attacks Changed Way Americans Dream - The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, not only caused huge political and social changes, they also altered the dreams of Americans. That's the suggestion from a small study published in the February issue ofSleep. Dr. Ernest Hartmann of Tufts University and Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Boston looked at 11 men and 33 women, aged 22-70, who'd been recording their dreams for at least two years. Each of the participants provided information about 20 consecutive dreams, 10 before 9/11 and 10 after 9/11. The study found that dreams after 9/11 showed more intense images, but weren't longer, more dreamlike or more bizarre than those before terrorists flew planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. In addition, the dreams after 9/11 did not contain more images of airplanes or buildings. None of the participants had dreams involving airplanes flying into buildings, even though they'd all seen such images many times on TV. "The more intense imagery is very consistent with findings in people who have experienced trauma of various kinds," Hartmann said in a prepared statement.

  Dear Loose Change Supporter,
  
  We wanted to share some news and also answer a question that we've been asked many times. 
  
  Question:
  How is Loose Change Final Cut different than Loose Change 2nd Edition, and does Final Cut include the same information that's in 2nd Edition?
  
  Answer:
  Loose Change Final Cut is an entirely new film, built from the ground up to present irrefutable evidence of the lies behind 9/11.  It explores new information in a polished way, including all new clips, interviews, and animations. It is intended as a supplement to Loose Change 2, which continues to be a valid expose of the truth behind 9/11.  Loose  Change Final Cut is not a replacement, but rather an extension of the research and information, so we encourage you to see both films to get the whole picture. (Visit the Loose Change Store to order Final Cut now!)

• Key 9/11 Commission Staffer Held Secret Meetings With Rove, Scaled Back Criticisms of White House - A forthcoming book by NYT reporter Philip Shenon — “The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation” — asserts that former 9/11 Commission executive director Philip Zelikow interfered with the 9/11 report. According to the book, Zelikow had failed to inform the commission at the time he was hired that he was instrumental in helping Condoleezza Rice set up Bush’s National Security Council in 2001. Some panel staffers believe Zelikow stopped them from submitting a report depicting Rice’s performance prior to 9/11 as “amount[ing] to incompetence.”

• Bill Clinton Undeterred By 9/11 Hecklers - ABC News' Sarah Amos Reports: Former President Bill Clinton took the phrase "on-message" to a new level in Denver yesterday, when hecklers began shouting about how September 11th was a conspiracy theory that needed further investigation. Clinton had just begun his speech to the crowd, when a man towards the front of the crowd began shouting about re-opening the 9/11 investigation and the war in Iraq. When the crowd tried to boo the man into silence, Clinton continued: "Let him talk." The heckler's exact wording wasn't quite audible from the press risers, but the tone was apparent to everyone in the arena, including Clinton. “Are you one of those it was an inside job guys?" the former president asked. Continuing, "Hillary agrees we should end the war, but we have heard from you now, now you hear from me. I let you be rude and interrupt me screaming at the top of your lungs. Nine-eleven was NOT an inside job, it was an Osama Bin Laden job with 19 people from Saudi Arabia, they murdered 3000 Americans and others foreigners including Muslims and we look like idiots, that the people who murdered our fellow citizens did it, when they are continuing to murder other people around the world. So we heard from you, you go away," Clinton said to the cheering crowd. (NOTE: Former President Bill Clinton made a mistake when he cited the nationalities of the 9/11 hijackers. In fact, 15 out of the 19 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.)

• MSNBC: Key 9/11 Commission Report Testimony Based on Torture - The 9/11 Commission suspected that critical information it used in its landmark report was the product of harsh interrogations of al-Qaida operatives - interrogations that many critics have labeled torture. Yet, commission staffers never questioned the agency about the interrogation techniques and in fact ordered a second round of interrogations specifically to ask additional questions of the same operatives, NBC News has learned. Those conclusions are the result of an extensive NBC News analysis of the 9/11 Commission’s Final Report and interviews with Commission staffers and current and former U.S. intelligence officials.

• Demise Of Al-Qaeda Leader Championed For Second Time: U.S. government, corporate media celebrate death of man they told us had been captured three years ago, succeed in out-Orwelling George Orwell - The death of "senior Al-Qaeda leader" Abu Laith al-Libi is being celebrated by Neo-Cons as a reason for continuing the endless war on terror - absent one crucial detail - the corporate media widely reported that another "senior Al-Qaeda leader" named al-Libi had been arrested back in May 2005. The American people have been fooled again in another case of mass public deception.

• 9/11 responder attends State of the Union - John Feal of Nesconset had vowed never to return to the nation's capital. The former demolition supervisor, whose left foot was crushed by an eight-ton steel beam while he worked to remove debris from Ground Zero, said it was simply too painful to be reminded of what he sees as the Bush administration's abandonment of him and other 9/11 responders. But yesterday, Feal, 41, gave it another shot, sitting in the gallery of the U.S. Capitol, along with eight other first responders, who are battling illnesses and other disabilities related to their service. Their presence was both rebuke and de facto demand to the Bush administration.   (RELATED: Go to fealgoodfoundation.com for background info.)

-The LC Team

• Neo-cons, not military, behind 9/11 - In his article (“Barrett alleges discrimination at 2 UW schools,” Jan. 21) Pedro Oliveira Jr. misstates my position, writing, “Barrett was heavily scrutinized in fall 2006 for his public affiliation with the belief that the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center were perpetrated by the U.S. military.” In fact, I have no affiliation with any such belief. The U.S. military consists of over 100,000 men and women, the vast majority of whom are loyal, patriotic Americans. Indeed, many military officers, including a general and several colonels, have bravely joined the 9/11 Truth Movement. And the 9/11 Truth Movement’s favorite Republican candidate, Ron Paul, is by far the biggest recipient of campaign contributions from U.S. military personnel. This suggests that the military is ahead of other American institutions in opposing and exposing the 9/11 crimes of high treason and mass murder.

• Care for 9/11 Responders Is Piecemeal: Plan for Processing Center On Hold, Funding Uncertain - As President Bush gives his State of the Union speech Monday, there will be one man in the audience who plans to sit quietly and watch, his very presence a form of protest. Joseph Libretti, 51, is sick. He has been diagnosed with chronic lung disease since volunteering after Sept. 11, 2001, to cut through steel to remove bodies from the gritty, smoking pile of detritus of the World Trade Center. Now, too weak to return to his job as an ironworker, he mostly keeps close to his Pennsylvania home. He is among a group of responders demanding a coherent national program to provide local medical treatment for Ground Zero workers from outside New York City who answered the call to help after the terrorist attacks. An existing program was effectively halted in December, when the federal government canceled its search for a contractor to process medical reimbursements.

• LIFTING THE VEIL: Endgame, Loose Change, and Freedom to Fascism Rank High at Google Video - As a glance at the most viewed videos at Google Video reveals this morning, truth videos are increasingly popular on the video sharing and search service, even with Google’s notorious habit of monkey-wrenching viewer statistics, especially those associated with Alex Jones’ Endgame, Terrorstorm, and the 9/11 blockbuster, Loose Change, written, directed, and produced by Dylan Avery, Korey Rowe, and Jason Bermas. Endgame came in the number 2 position after the Zeitgeist trailer.

• How I Came To Distrust the Official 9/11 Conspiracy Theory - From 2001 through most of 2007, I didn't think much about this subject. I had casually wondered if the fires could actually be responsible for bringing the towers down, thinking about the heat and thermodynamics necessary to weaken the steel columns. I have an undergraduate degree in chemistry, and find thermodynamics very interesting. The idea that fires fueled by office materials and jet fuel (enhanced kerosene) could weaken steel beams, resulting in total failure of the entire structure seemed vaguely unlikely. After all, there have been other large steel-structured office building fires that had not resulted in complete, catastrophic collapse, but I didn’t dwell on my vague doubts. I have since learned there have been no complete, catastrophic collapses of steel-framed buildings due to fire recorded, ever, like these. There have been partial collapses, involving a few floors, and considerable damage due to fire, but no complete collapses ever of steel-framed buildings. On 9/11, we are given to believe there were three.

• Insights of a Canadian Lawyer: Was 9/11 an Inside Job?: by Hal. C. Sisson, QC - In mid January 2008 united 9/11 Truth Movements across Canada, spearheaded by Victoria and Vancouver branches, sent a petition letter to the heads of all Canadian political parties and to every Member of Parliament. The letter requested two things: a. A call for a new investigation into the events of September 11, 2001 by an independent and impartial tribunal, plus b. Open discussion in Parliament of, or a national referendum on, the proposed integration of Canada, the United States and Mexico into a North American Union, under the Security and Prosperity Partnership agreement, (originally signed in 2005 in Waco Texas by then Prime Minister Paul Martin); an Agreement that has never been discussed outside of a cabal of senior government officials and military and corporate leaders.

• The chinks in Giuliani's 9/11 armor: His composed response after the attacks is at the core of his presidential campaign. But some of the chaos that hobbled rescuers was rooted in his blind spots as New York's mayor - On Sept. 11, 2001, Rudolph W. Giuliani emerged from the ash plumes of the ruined World Trade Center as much an icon as the fallen towers. His drawn face was coated in concrete dust. His painstaking words were freighted with the unimaginable. "There were so many people around, so many problems," Giuliani recalled in his autobiography. The counting of the dead had not begun, and he had to publicly reckon with the disaster's human toll. "The number of casualties," he told the world, "will be more than any of us can bear ultimately."

• The 9/11 porn of Cloverfield - At some point we knew it had to happen. After all, it does to nearly every great event in modern American history. It doesn't matter if the subject matter is tragic or horrifying or simply embarrassing; a Hollywood exec can take that signature moment and turn it into a crowd-pleasing actioner, a goofy rom-com, or a half-witted television pilot. Tinsel Town hungers for new concepts like Bill Clinton hungers for 40 winks and a hummer. The slavery era was given a zip-a-dee-doo-dah makeover in Song of the South. By harnessing the combined powers of Technicolor, animation, and songwriting, Walt Disney was able to whitewash the darkest days of American history.

• 9/11 Contradictions: When Did Cheney Enter the Underground Bunker?: by David Ray Griffin - With regard to the morning of 9/11, everyone agrees that at some time after 9:03 (when the South Tower of the World Trade Center was struck) and before 10:00, Vice President Dick Cheney went down to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC), sometimes simply called the “bunker,” under the east wing of the White House. Everyone also agrees that, once there, Cheney was in charge---that he was either making decisions or relaying decisions from President Bush. But there is enormous disagreement as to exactly when Cheney entered the PEOC. According to The 9/11 Commission Report, Cheney arrived “shortly before 10:00, perhaps at 9:58” (The 9/11 Commission Report [henceforth 9/11CR], 40). This official time, however, contradicts almost all previous reports, some of which had him there before 9:20. This difference is important because, if the 9/11 Commission’s time is correct, Cheney was not in charge in the PEOC when the Pentagon was struck, or for most of the period during which United Flight 93 was approaching Washington. But if the reports that have him there by 9:20 are correct, he was in charge in the PEOC all that time.

• Tom Cruises 9/11 ‘lies’ web rant sparks anger in the US - American actor Tom Cruise has sparked outrage in the U.S, after he accused government officials of lying following the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In a new promotional video for Scientology, the actor was seen blasting the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for endangering the health of emergency service staff at ground zero. “The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) came out and said the air was clean. Of course as a Scientologist you go, ‘That’s a lie.’ You just go, ‘Liar’, Contactmusic quoted him as saying. “Finally you say, dammit, just go there and do it. Put it there, let’s go, here’s the money, let’s go. Let’s just get one person treated. I can’t sleep another night,” he added.   (COMMENTARY: Okay, all the Tom Cruise-Scientology publicity hype and hysteria stuff aside for a moment, lets put this into the proper perspective.  Take a deep breath if it helps...  How can it be considered a lie to claim that the American government lied about the safety of Ground Zero in the aftermath of the WTC fall out on 9/11.  This is a fact.... THEY LIED AND PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING AND  DYING AS A DIRECT RESULT.  Go to fealgoodfoundation.com for background info.  Granted, Tom Cruise - just like New World Order shills Hillary Clinton and Michael Moore before him - has his own personal agenda talking abut the WTC dust and we must be VERY wary of this, but at least he has the courage to bring these issues to the table.)

• 'Cloverfield': Horror Film Not Sensitive About 9/11 - Matt Reeves’ "Cloverfield," produced by J.J. Abrams of "Lost" and "Alias" fame, is an 84-minute rollercoaster ride of a monster movie that should be a big hit. But Cloverfield also inadvertently disses New York for what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, by re-enacting scenes of buildings exploding and massive clouds of debris for fun and profit. Does no one recall what was said following the World Trade Center disasters? There was such sensitivity about the huge human losses that images of the Twin Towers were erased from movie posters and excised from films. Yet six years later, the "Cloverfield" gang is cool enough with it to show New York being pulverized. Very quickly and without warning, downtown New York is destroyed. The first bit of damage is depicted by a World Trade Center-like structure exploding and collapsing downward, sending off a cloud not unlike those my friends ran from that day.

• J7 (UK 7/7 Truth Campaign) Decline to participate in BBC's Conspiracy Files - Shortly after the second anniversary of 7th July 2005, J7: The July 7th Truth Campaign was contacted by Chris Alcock of the BBC who advised us of plans for a BBC documentary covering the events of 7th July 2005. No detail about the nature of the 'documentary' was provided until five months later, in December 2007, when another BBC employee, Assistant Producer Susan Prichard, advised us by email that the BBC production in question, rather than being a serious documentary effort for which the BBC was once well known, was in fact an episode of BBC2's risible Conspiracy Files series.   (RELATED: See our affiliated archive on the BBC's previous hit-piece on the 9/11 Truth Movement 'The Conspiracy Files')

• 9/11 Contradictions: Bush in the Classroom: by Dr. David Ray Griffin - The official story of 9/11 is riddled with internal contradictions. One of these contradictions involves the question of how long President Bush remained in classroom in Sarasota, Florida, on the morning of 9/11. Bush was there to publicize his education policy by being photographed listening to students read. He arrived at the school at 8:55 AM, at which time he reportedly first learned that a plane had struck one of the Twin Towers. Dismissing the crash as an accident, Bush said that they would go ahead and “do the reading thing anyway.” Bush entered the second-grade classroom of teacher Sandra Kay Daniels at about 9:03. At about 9:06, the president’s chief of staff, Andrew Card, came in and whispered in Bush’s ear, telling him, Card later reported, “A second plane hit the second Tower. America is under attack.”  Thanks to Michael Moore’s film Fahrenheit 9/11, which came out in 2004, the world knows what happened next: Bush remained sitting there minute after minute after minute. Journalists, however, had reported Bush’s strange behaviour much earlier.

• Struggling candidates reach for '9/11 cards' - Well they're off - officially - in the race for the White House, and one-time frontrunners Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton have stumbled out of the gates. What's a struggling New York pol to do? Never Forget. Clinton and Giuliani both broke out 9/11 references a day after the Iowa Caucuses upended the Democratic and Republican presidential campaigns. "None of this worries me - Sept. 11, there were times I was worried," Giuliani told the New York Daily News, brushing off his sub-Ron Paul finish in a state he virtually ignored. The former mayor, who left office three months after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, is an old hand at going to the 9/11 well when his political fortunes need a boost.

• Giuliani: Americans Are Part of a "9/11 Generation" - Rudy Giuliani says that Americans today are now part of a “9/11 Generation” whose greatest challenge will be to defeat the threat of global terrorism. Campaigning in the snowy hills of Wolfeboro, Giuliani gave a refined speech that made prevention of terror the target of his presidential appeal. Introduced by former FBI director Louis Freeh, the mayor read from prepared remarks, something he rarely does, the mayor said that ending Islamic terrorism will be his top priority as Commander in Chief. “We didn't seek this conflict, we didn't start this conflict, but we're going to finish this conflict, and we're going to win it,” said Giuliani.  (COMMENTARY: Funny I consider myself part of the 9/11 Truth generation... go figure!)

• CIA rejects 9/11 commission leaders criticism on destroyed tapes - The CIA on Wednesday rejected criticism from the leaders of a US commission that examined the attacks of September 11, 2001, saying the agency cooperated fully with the investigation. The co-chairmen of the blue ribbon 9/11 Commission, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, wrote in The New York Times on Wednesday that "recent revelations that the CIA destroyed videotaped interrogations of Qaeda operatives leads us to conclude that the agency failed to respond to our lawful requests for information about the 9/11 plot." Kean and Hamilton wrote that, although US President George W. Bush had ordered all executive branch agencies to cooperate with the probe, "Those who knew about those videotapes -- and did not tell us about them -- obstructed our investigation."

• WISHING ALL OUR VISITORS A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR AND ALL THE BEST FOR 2008 - WE WILL BE WORKING MUCH HARDER NEXT YEAR TO BRING YOU THE 9/11 TRUTH NEWS THAT THE MAINSTREAM SEEKS TO BURY!!!

• The other side of post-9-11 security: Americans kept from entering Canada - Another side-effect of the post-Sept. 11 security mindset: Americans who used to enter Canada with a wave and a few friendly questions are finding themselves stopped cold by sometimes even youthful indiscretions. For some time, a drunken driving conviction was enough to deem a foreigner "inadmissible" because the crime is a felony in Canada. But until recently, experts say border agents were less likely to find out about a foreigner's drunken driving record, either because they didn't ask or because they didn't have extensive criminal history databases to check. It's affected people like Bob Hohman, a 54-year-old computer network security analyst from Roseville, Minn..

• Creeping Fascism: From Nazi Germany to Post 9/11 America, By Ray McGovern: Americans today are seeing the same sheepish submissiveness that characterized Germany after the burning of the Reichstag - "There are few things as odd as the calm, superior indifference with which I and those like me watched the beginnings of the Nazi revolution in Germany, as if from a box at the theater...Perhaps the only comparably odd thing is the way that now, years later...." These are the words of Sebastian Haffner (pen name for Raimund Pretzel), who as a young lawyer in Berlin during the 1930s experienced the Nazi takeover and wrote a first-hand account. His children found the manuscript when he died in 1999 and published it the following year as "Geschichte eines Deutschen" (The Story of a German). The book became an immediate bestseller and has been translated into 20 languages -- in English as "Defying Hitler."

• MORE POST 9/11 GRANDSTANDING FROM GIULIANI: Rudy Ad reminds of 9/11 attacks - THE man known as the US's Mayor, Rudy Giuliani, has finally unveiled a presidential campaign advertisement highlighting his leadership after the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. The emotive one-minute TV ad entitled Freedom is being played in the key electoral battlegrounds of Florida and New Hampshire, and airing nationally on the FOX network. Mr Giuliani's trump card - his tested leadership during crisis - comes as candidates enter the home stretch of the nominating race.

• Convenient Assassination: Kill The Liberal Pakistani Ms. Bhutto and then roll out the wonks - Well, a little time has passed and a clearer picture is beginning to emerge about the motives for the murder of Bhutto. All the usual media wonks and candidates are now weighing in on this so called WAR ON TERROR. These reports all serve to validate the 9/11 story and the never ending threat of this Al Queda. Gosh, I'm now listening to Ann Curry tell me that it's the passports. We need better Passports and less freedom in general. It's the security, all that's been done so far is just not enough. C'mon Americans, wake up, cooperate!!!. Trust your Government. Stop calling for independent investigations of 9/11 and get with the program, there may be terrorists hiding under your bed. YOU ARE IN DANGER! The murder of Ms. Bhutto is typical of empire. Does anyone truly believe in their heart the official 9/11 story. I know you're supposed to and all, but do you really believe it? This latest story doesn't even make sense. Why kill Bhutto at all? It would have been easy enough to simply steal the election. I mean what good is sending Pakistan what, too many Billions and for that we can't even buy an election? Of course the Nuclear arsenal in Pakistan is safe, my pentagon told me so, I do believe that. I mean the Pentagon knows what's going on, well, just that couple of Nukes that got loaded on a plane a few months ago shouldn't be cause for alarm, I mean, they found it.

• COMING SOON FROM THE WEST YORKSHIRE TRUTH CAMPAIGN: -

THE FUTURE OF THIS EVENT IS CURRENTLY BEING THREATENED BY CERTAIN 'PERSONS OF AUTHORITY' (GO FIGURE) - PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR UP-DATES.

• Giuliani: It was 'impossible' for the 9/11 firefighters to have working radios - Former New York City mayor and Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani talks to George Stephanopoulos about accusations that firefighters died on 9/11 due to radios that Giuliani himself knew weren't suitable for use. Giuliani has been personally blamed for the deaths of firefighters on September 11, 2001, including by NYFD Deputy Fire Chief James Riches, whose son, also a firefighter, died at Ground Zero. Giuliani is not only accused of providing faulty equipment, but also of ending the search for survivors too early.

• Former Italian President: 9/11 Op Run by CIA and Mossad - Former Italian President Francesco Cossiga, who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, has told Italy’s oldest and most widely read newspaper that the 9-11 terrorist attacks were run by the CIA and Mossad, and that this was common knowledge among global intelligence agencies. In what translates awkwardly into English, Cossiga told the newspaper Corriere della Sera: “All the [intelligence services] of America and Europe…know well that the disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the Mossad, with the aid of the Zionist world in order to put under accusation the Arabic countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part … in Iraq [and] Afghanistan.”

• CIA 'kept' tapes from 9/11 probe - A leaked memorandum from the former 9/11 commission says it made repeated requests to the CIA for information on the interrogation of al-Qaeda suspects. But ex-commission executive director Philip Zelikow says the CIA did not hand over tapes that have since come to light, the New York Times reported. The CIA later erased the footage, which allegedly contains images of abuse. The memo urges a further investigation into whether the agency acted illegally by withholding the recordings.

UPDATE: THANK YOU FOR BEARING WITH US OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS - WE HAVE NOW COME TO THE CONCLUSION OF A RATHER INCONVENIENT ADMINISTRATIVE 'RE-SHUFFLE' - NOTHING TOO DRAMATIC, BUT HENCE PERIODS OF INACTIVITY ON THE WEBSITE.  MORE FREQUENT UPDATES TO RESUME.

• US warrantless wiretapping predates 9/11 - Fresh evidence has emerged that the US government's warrantless wiretapping program predates the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Secret surveillance operations that enabled the National Security Agency (NSA) to access telecommunications traffic data have been in place since the 1990s, according to the New York Times. In an attempt to gain intelligence on narcotics traffickingThe NSA forged an uneasy alliance with telcos to gather data on phone calls and emails from the US to Latin America.

• Rudy evokes 9/11 to recharge campaign - With perhaps the most perilous phase of his candidacy just three weeks away, Rudy Giuliani Saturday hit the reset button, hoping to remind Republican voters why they liked him in the first place and to right a campaign that is on the defensive. Saying he's the one man who can "get it done" for the American people, Giuliani returned to the issue that made him a front-runner for most of the year: his image as a leader and the memory of the 9/11 attacks.

• Christie Whitman lied about Ground Zero air quality, 9/11 victims' lawyers say - Christie Whitman lied about air quality after the 9/11 attacks and should have to pay for medical monitoring and a cleanup, lawyers for lower Manhattan residents told an appeals court Monday. The lawyers urged a three-judge panel of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold a lower court decision declaring the former head of the Environmental Protection Agency can be held personally responsible for her deceptive comments.

• 9/11 Truth on London Underground!!! - "I was travelling on the tube today and came across this poster. It really asks a lot of good questions and will be seen by thousands of commuters every day. Well done to whoever managed to organise this, great work!!"

• Real spooks with new role after 9/11 - In a two-part programme on Radio 4, BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera looks into the shadowy world of Britain's security services, forced into radical change after 9/11. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, only one plane was allowed to fly from Britain to the US. On board were Britain's top spy chiefs, including Eliza Manningham-Buller, then number two at MI5, and soon to be become the director general. They dined for an hour-and-a-half with a handful of American counterparts at CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, and offered their unqualified support. Their long journey was appreciated by their American counterparts. "They didn't have to do that. They could have called," remembers one of the CIA officials present. The Americans revealed that they were already sure al-Qaeda was responsible, having recognised names off the passenger lists for the flights that had crashed.  

• 9/11 Responders Protest ME's Stand on Ground Zero Deaths - First responders gathered in front of the NYC Medical Examiner's office to protest how the ME has classified deaths seemingly related to Ground Zero illnesses. State Senator Eric Adams said he would introduce legislation making sure first responders who worked at Ground Zero will "get the same line-of-duty benefits" as September 11 victims. Recently, the ME's office has not named two rescuers, who worked at the World Trade Center site after September 11 and later died from complications of illnesses (seemingly caused by the toxic dust), as victims of the September 11 attacks. In fact, a letter ME Dr. Charles Hirsch sent to one of the families narrowed the definition of a 9/11 death: "All persons killed at the World Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001, and others who died later from complications of injury or exposure directly caused by the collapse of the twin towers on that day are homicide victims."

• US Roman Catholic Bishop: 9/11 was inside job - Bishop Richard Williamson, seemingly the most outspoken and controversial bishop of the Society of St. Pius X, asserted in a recent talk that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks were committed "to get the American public to accept the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq," according to a news item by Jack Kenny in the Nov. 15, 2007 issue of The Wanderer. Bishop Williamson, whose talk was held Nov. 4, 2007 in Bedford, Mass., is quoted as saying: "Without 9-11, it would have been impossible to attack Afghanistan or Iraq. The forces inside the United States government and driving the United States government absolutely wanted to attack and destroy Iraq. The destruction wrought upon Iraq is unspeakable. And now the same forces want to do the same thing to Iran . . . They may well be plotting another 9-11."

• Study reviews post 9-11 laws - More than six years after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks prompted a rash of legislation limiting access to government information, authors of a congressionally funded study on those restrictions hope their findings will restore transparency. All states except South Dakota revised their open government laws after Sept. 11 because of fear that terrorists could use the information, said Jeffrey Addicott, director of the Center for Terrorism Law at St. Mary's University in Texas. He said he hopes the study will prompt the review of laws, such as the PATRIOT Act, which were passed hastily in the panic following the attacks.

• Alleged Trainer Of 9/11 Hijackers a CIA Informant: Sakka attempts to plug holes in 9/11 official story, claims Hanjour did not pilot Flight 77 - The man who claims to have trained six of the 9/11 hijackers is a paid CIA informant according to Turkish intelligence specialists, who also assert that Al-Qaeda is merely the name of a secret service operation designed to foment a strategy of tension around the world. In a London Times report, Louai al-Sakka, now incarcerated in a high-security Turkish prison 60 miles east of Istanbul, claims that he trained six of the 9/11 hijackers at a camp in the mountains near Istanbul from 1999-2000.

• 9/11 SUITS IN LEGAL LIMBO - The judge overseeing the lawsuits of thousands of sick 9/11 rescue workers says he won't speed up trials for several responders described as being "on death's door." Manhattan federal Judge Alvin Hellerstein refused a request to set early trials for three World Trade Center workers who suffer severe lung disease. "I'm not going to do that," Hellerstein said in court Nov. 16. He later heard details in his chambers about retired NYPD detective Michael Valentin, 43, retired NYPD officer Frank Maisano, 41, and Ground Zero morgue volunteer Mary Bishop, 45. "All three of them are on death's door," lawyer Paul Napoli said.

• OH MY GOD! THEM AMERICANS ARE USING THEIR BRAINS!  HOW DARE THEY... LOCK THEM UP!: 'BLAME U.S. FOR 9/11' IDIOTS IN MAJORITY: 'PLOTS' THICKEN IN SHOCKING POLL - Nearly two-thirds of Americans believe the federal government had warnings about 9/11 but decided to ignore them, a national survey found. And that's not the only conspiracy theory with a huge number of true believers in the United States. The poll found that more than one out of three Americans believe Washington is concealing the truth about UFOs and the Kennedy assassination - and most everyone is sure the rise in gas prices is one vast oil-industry conspiracy. Sixty-two percent of those polled thought it was "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that federal officials turned a blind eye to specific warnings of the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Only 30 percent said the 9/11 theory was "not likely," according to the Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll.

• 9/11 Families Counter Giuliani - New York firefighters, including two who lost sons in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, joined other victims' relatives Monday to argue that Rudy Giuliani's character and actions make him unfit to be president. Members of the group, 9/11 Firefighters and Families, long have been vocal critics of Giuliani's performance as New York mayor, but Monday marked their first trip to another state. For his part, Giuliani was in Mission, Texas, discussing border security. "They deserve a legacy of the facts, a true story about what happened to them, our city, and really to our country. That's why we're not going to give up," said a tearful Sally Regenhard, whose firefighter son died at the World Trade Center. "We want people to know the truth about Rudy Giuliani running for president as a false hero."

• 9/11 Firefighters and Family Members Plot Anti-Giuliani Ad Campaign: Group Considering Swift-Boat-Style Television Attack - A group of 9/11 firefighters and victims' family members with eyes on derailing Republican Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign is close to a decision on forming an entity that would run issue ads in key early nominating states. "TV made him a hero, and we'll use TV to take him down," New York Fire Chief Jim Riches told ABC News. The final decision about the formation of an outside entity will happen sometime within the next few weeks after the group finalizes its plans at a meeting scheduled for after Thanksgiving. So far, though, under Riches' leadership, the group has sought legal guidance and help from political consultants. If the group decides to move forward, it would set up a 527 committee -- or something similar to Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which in 2004 helped sink Democratic Sen. John Kerry's White House bid.

• Lee Hamilton Admits WTC 7 Issue Remains Unresolved - Cincinnati, Columbus and Seattle members of 911 Truth and We Are Change attended a Speech given by Lee Hamilton at Miami University in Hamilton, Ohio. Lee Hamilton is the former Vice Chairman of the 9/11 Commission. After the speech a few members of the audience were allowed to ask brief questions. After being heckled by the audience sycophants for pointing out the U.S. government's policy of rewarding terrorist states like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, a man asks Hamilton to comment on the collapse of Building 7.

• Homeland Security Links 9/11 Truthers to Taliban - Do you remember when Bush Jr. said, “either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists”? Well, he meant it. Homeland Security’s sub-committee on terrorism risk assessment convened a hearing on 11-06-2007 to discuss “using the Web as a weapon – the Internet as a tool for violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism.” In a video of this meeting, which was last aired by C-Span on 11-12-2007, members of the sub-committee clearly pointed to Internet sites that question the legitimacy of the official 9/11 story as tools for recruiting terrorists.

• The History of the Loose Change Phenomenon - 9/11 has clearly been the most important event of the 21st century, providing the basis for the US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq and many other dimensions of the “war on terror.” There is, accordingly, no more important question than whether the official account of 9/11 is true. The main purpose of the “Loose Change” series of films is to explore various unanswered questions about 9/11 - questions that, by virtue of being unanswered by any official body, raise doubts about the truth of the official account.

• Britain to toughen security at stations and airports: Brown to unveil anti-terror plans - Plans to protect public places, railway stations and other key buildings from terrorist attacks are due to be launched by the prime minister. The security minister, Lord West, was asked to draw up the proposals after the summer's attempted bombings in London and at Glasgow Airport. Gordon Brown warned that attacks could hit "anywhere and from any place". He is also due to unveil a report on a planned border force which combines immigration, customs and visa staff.

• 9/11 Truth - We’ve got the BBC on the run - Since July 2007 British scientist, member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth & Justice and RINF science correspondent, John A. Blacker, has been in an ongoing battle with the BBC over their lie infested hit piece programme ‘9/11: The Conspiracy Files’, which aired in February 2007 and was designed to present an unfair view of the 9/11 truth movement and prominent researchers. Mr Blacker is currently in ‘pre-action protocol’ with the BBC, meaning they have to try and settle the argument out of court.

• BBC To Apologize For 9/11 Truth Hit Piece?: Scandal-hit network desperately scrambles to offset legal action over lies and bias in February 2007 documentary - The BBC could be forced to apologize and admit mass public deception for airing a documentary on the 9/11 truth movement that was clearly riddled with errors, lies and bias, as the scandal-hit corporation desperately squirms to avoid a potential court case brought by a British scientist. John A. Blacker, a qualified physicist & mechanical engineer and a member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth & Justice, is currently engaged in a pre-action protocol with the BBC in an attempt to settle out of court and get an apology from the broadcaster as well as a guarantee that the program will never be shown on television again. In a letter to the BBC, Blacker cites a catalogue of errors, distortions and outright lies that were contained in the program, arguing that the documentary is an insult to those that lost their lives on 9/11.

• NFL Star Considered 9/11 a False Flag From Day One: Super Bowl winner and former Dallas Cowboys ace Stepnoski goes further during radio interview - Former Dallas Cowboys Super-Bowl winner and five time Pro Bowler Mark Stepnoski said in a radio interview yesterday (Thursday) that anybody who still believes the official story of 9/11 is either incredibly naive or in complete denial, as he revealed how he considered the event to be a possible false flag operation on the very day it happened. Stepnoski went public in an interview with the Pennsylvania based Erie-Times newspaper on Sunday, but during an interview on The Alex Jones Show he went further and revealed that his questions about 9/11 began on the very day of the attacks.

• New Study Released On Respiratory Problems For 9/11 Workers - A new study released this month shows state employees who worked at the World Trade Center site after the toxic dust cloud cleared are suffering from the same respiratory problems as workers who were there during the actual September 11th terrorist attacks – just to a lower degree. The study by the New York State Department of Health looked at more than 1,400 state police, National Guard members, and state Department of Transportation workers, including 110 who were in the dust cloud when the Twin Towers fell. Of those studied, one-third arrived during the first two days after the attacks and 57 percent arrived before Sept. 16, 2001.

• Millions undergo background checks under post-9/11 laws - Already this year, 25 million Americans have had background checks by the federal government, a number that's risen every year since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Amid the rise, a notable shift has occurred: More civilians are now checked each year than criminals. And checks on the vast majority come back clean, even as states allot more money for their growing screening operations. And, in rare cases, predators still slip through the cracks. Take Timothy Stephen Keil, an Ohio church camp counselor recently convicted of molesting two young boys. Or Ralph Fiscale, a New Hampshire soccer coach, and Stephen Unger Jr., a Texas schoolteacher, both of whom committed similar offenses in the past year. All were either not run through a check by their superiors, or they passed one. Civil libertarians say the tradeoffs of such a system, built largely through state mandates enacted since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, have become too high.

• PROBLEM > REACTION > SOLUTION: 9/11 angered man enough to enlist - The Pisczek residence is filled with seasonal decorations. A variety of red, gold and orange leaves are intertwined with wreaths, candles and pumpkins. A fragrant spicy aroma fills the lower level of the home while laughter from the second floor bedrooms filters downstairs. The household was much different last year. The holiday season wasn't going to be shared by everyone as the family patriarch was serving overseas, fulfilling both a personal mission and one ordered by the nation's commander in chief. When the two commercial airliners crashed into the New York Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, like Americans across the country, Uniontown resident Jaison Pisczek was angry. It took a couple of years for the 1990 Connellsville Area Senior High School graduate to decide just what he should do, but in 2004 he made up his mind and enlisted in the U.S. Army Reserve.

• Hillary Denies Attending Bilderberg, Confirms Bill Did - Members of Student Scholars for 9/11 Truth recently asked Hillary Clinton about her attendance at the 2006 Bilderberg Meeting-- which she emphatically denied. She laughed uncomfortably before declaring that she had "no idea what they were talking about" at Bilderberg Meetings since she "wasn't there." However, she did acknowledge that Bill Clinton had attended in 1992, but maintained that she herself had never been. This denial goes against reports from insiders at the Brookstreet Hotel in Ottawa who claimed she attended the 2006 meeting for one day. Witnesses saw a number of vehicles which unloaded in back loading dock, away from the public's view, including a stretch limousine with U.S. diplomatic plates.

• Sibel Edmonds Case: the untellable story of AIPAC - Last week, former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds, announced that she was willing to tell everything that she knows if any of the major networks are willing to give her airtime, without airbrushing the essence of her case. Bradblog will have an update on the progress, or lack of it, next week. Of course, Sibel would prefer to testify under oath in congress, but apparently our Democratic Congresscritters (I’m looking at you, Waxman) don’t care about the treason, bribery, and corruption that has hijacked US foreign policy. Meanwhile, last week we learnt that the judge in the AIPAC case has allowed subpoenas to be issued to 15 current and former high-level officials. Many of us are excited about the prospect of the trial - but Sibel assures us that the case, as it stands, is just the tip of the iceberg. ‘AIPAC’ is at the core of Sibel’s case, and Sibel’s story needs to be heard - either in Congress, or in the media

• Government's 9/11 Investigators Were ALSO Lead OKC Bombing Investigators - Would you be surprised to learn that the exact same investigators who headed up the government's investigation into the World Trade Center collapses and the Pentagon attack on 9/11 also headed up the government's investigation into the Oklahoma City bombing? The WTC collapses, Pentagon attack and OKC bombing involved assessments of entirely different kinds of structures inflicted with different kinds of damage. And there are 1.5 million engineers in the U.S., many of them highly-qualified to investigate attacks and their damage. And yet the authors of the official report on the Murrah Federal Building -- Gene Corley, Charles Thornton, Paul Mlaker, and Mete Sozen -- were all among the initial team of the American Society of Civil Engineers' 9/11 investigation. Several of these individuals have strong connections to industries that benefited from the attack, and that would suffer if it were known that 9/11 was an inside job, such as armaments makers and oil and gas producers.

• The 9/11 shadow on the 2008 election - Even on a bitterly cold November day, visitors to the Flight 93 memorial deep in rural Pennsylvania arrive in their dozens. They bow their heads in contemplation as they pay their respects to the 59 passengers and crew who died on September 11, 2001 – and began America’s fight back against the jihadists. The events of 9/11 play significant if largely silent backdrop to the 2008 race for the White House. Rudy Giuliani, the Republican front runner and New York’s mayor that day, refers to his role much less frequently than before. Hillary Clinton, the New York senator, also mentions it only rarely.

• EU unveils air passenger 'risk profiling' plan - The European Union is set to emulate the US by adopting the wholesale screening and profiling of air passengers. In a proposed Framework Decision being put forward today, the European Commission calls for the collection of Passenger Name Record (PNR) data for all flights into and out of the EU, together with a "risk assessment" system that will effectively profile all passengers. The move confirms predictions that Europe's long term answer to the US PNR system is to match it, and to keep step with the US terror-tracking system as it evolves. The US Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system, like the proposed EU one, will screen passengers for risk and produce watchlists, sharing the data and the results between EU states.

• Brian Haw: “9-11 was an inside job” - British anti war campaigner, Brian Haw, talks about 9/11, this is very short clip but a much longer one (about an hour) will be uploaded soon. Brian has been living in a peace camp in Parliament Square since 2001.

• Flashback: Robertson Agreed That America "Deserved" 9/11 - In light of Pat Robertson's endorsement today of former NYC Mayor and Churchillian 9/11 hero Rudy Giuliani, it seems worth recalling that even as the smoke was still rising from the site a few days later, Robertson had this to say about the disaster in a TV appearance with Jerry Falwell: "God continues to lift the curtain and allow the enemies of America to give us probably what we deserve," said Falwell, appearing yesterday on the Christian Broadcasting Network's "700 Club," hosted by Robertson. "Jerry, that's my feeling," Robertson responded. "I think we've just seen the antechamber to terror. We haven't even begun to see what they can do to the major population." Falwell said the American Civil Liberties Union has "got to take a lot of blame for this," again winning Robertson's agreement: "Well, yes."

• Loose Change Final Cut – UK Preview: By Mick Meaney, RINF Alternative News - Saturday, 3rd November, 2007, saw the British preview screening of the much anticipated 9/11 truth blockbuster, ‘Loose Change Final Cut’. Before the screening began, Tim Sparke, executive producer of Loose Change 3, gave us a brief thank you and intro, he welcomed us by saying: “By the end of this, you’re going to be knackered!”. And he wasn’t wrong. Mr Sparke also stayed around afterwards to answer questions. He clearly stated that all sources in the film were taken from mainstream media, which makes it all the more unbelievable that the propitiators are able to get away with such a crime. When asked how much the film cost to produce, he said “close to $1 million dollars”, but added “we could have made it more cinematic”. Mr Sparke also said: “Obviously we would like to cover our costs but we plan to donate some of the profit to those suffering with health problems as a result of working at Ground Zero”. A noble gesture indeed. David Ray Griffin had his part to play in the latest and possibly last offering from the Loose Change team. Professor Griffin ‘fact checked’ the film. It also appears that David Ray Griffin is being considered for a Nobel Peace Prize nomination.

• "War Criminal" Ex-MI6 Head Dearlove Confronted At Event: Man who admitted "intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy" of invading Iraq grilled on 7/7, Bilderberg membership, forced to leave after being called proxy mass murderer - Author of the infamous Downing Street Memo and ex-MI6 head Sir Richard Dearlove was confronted and branded a "war criminal" by audience members who attended his talk at the London School of Economics last night, before being hounded out of the building - but subsequent media coverage of the event completely failed to mention the controversy. Ironically, during a lecture in which Dearlove pushed the notion of how the media should acquiesce to government demands in reporting aspects of sensitive stories, in their write-up of the talk, the BBC omitted any details of how Dearlove was intensively questioned and eventually forced to leave by members of We Are Change UK.   (MUST SEE!!! - VIEW THE VIDEO BELOW)

• Rudy Faces Probe Into 9/11 Firefighter Radio Fiasco - Here's something that could put another dent in Rudy's 9/11 halo: Giuliani is now facing a New York City government investigation into his handling of the radios used by firefighters on 9/11. The Huffington Post reports that the probe's goal is to get to the bottom of an enduring charge against Giuliani -- that because of his negligence the radios used by the FDNY on 9/11 were the same ones that malfunctioned during the 1993 World Trade Center attack. HuffPo says that more than 20,000 people have signed a petition demanding the investigation.

• Martin Sheen Questions Official 9/11 Story: Follows in footsteps of son Charlie Sheen, highlights implausible collapse of WTC 7, asks why building was "rigged" - Actor Martin Sheen questioned the official 9/11 story, as well as the collapse of Building 7 and Larry Silverstein's "pull it" comment during an anti-war march this past weekend in Los Angeles, saying that recent revelations about the attacks had caused him to have doubts. Sheen was interviewed by We Are Change L.A. along with fellow actor Mark Ruffalo during an event hosted by the ANSWER Coalition at which around 20,000 people attended.

• George Carlin Questions "Received Reality" Of 9/11 Story: Grammy award winning comedian, actor says new investigation would be whitewash - Grammy-winning American stand-up comedian, actor, and author George Carlin spoke of his doubts about the official 9/11 story during a recent appearance at Borders bookstore in New York City, just a few blocks away from ground zero. Asked what he thought of the 9/11 truth movement and how Bill Maher's show was interrupted by truthers last week, Carlin responded, "I always question the received reality." 

• THE LATEST CIRCULAR FROM THE LOOSE CHANGE TEAM: -

• Kristy and the intern crew are busy filling theater and public screening requests.
• We are happy to announce that the LC Crew is going to be hitting the road again this winter to spread the word.  If you are putting together a screening, we’d be happy to send someone out to speak at the event.  We do ask that you fund our travel and take care of the theater rental.  (Email theaters@lc911.com)
• Jason Bermas is getting ready for our first live event of the winter.  Jason will be in Minnesota on November 11th for a public screening.  More details coming...

• Bill Clinton Shamed In Public Confrontation - Bill Clinton confronted on Bilderberg, Bohemian Grove, 9/11 and other topics as he tries to debate truthers but ends up biting off more than he can chew and is clearly embarrased and shamed. The full version of the video that the news networks didn't want you to see!

• George Carlin comments on 9/11 Truth and the NWO - George Carlin appeared today at BORDERS bookstore in downtown Manhattan, NYC (just a few blocks away from the WTC site / Ground Zero)...I just had to get his comment on the 9/11 Inside Job Issue.

• Beck: 9/11 Truthers "Insane", "Dangerous Anarchists", "The Kind Of Group A Timothy McVeigh Would Come From": CNN host lays into truth movement in vicious attack - CNN host Glen Beck viciously attacked the 9/11 truth movement last night on his Headline Prime show, describing the whole movement as "insane" and branding 9/11 activists as "dangerous anarchists". Beck singled out 9/11 truthers in a segment in response to the infiltration of Real Time with Bill Maher by We Are Change protesters last week. In a piece that we would normally associate with the "fair and balanced" Fox News, Beck featured two guests who BOTH argued against 9/11 truth, as well as throwing in his own two cents.

• LATEST RELEASE FROM THE LOOSE CHANGE TEAM: -

Dear Loose Change Supporters,

We are happy to announce the final details on the upcoming release of Loose Change Final Cut. 

Many of you have asked us about a main stream theater release and are aware that we spent considerable time in Hollywood negotiating with different producers.  After many hours of consideration, we decided that a Hollywood release just isn't right for Loose Change.  In order to access the normal "big movie" distribution channels, we would have to relinquish editorial control of the film.  This just wasn't an option for us, as the integrity of our message is ultimately all that we have, and we feared that corporate mainstream would corrupt or squash our film and its movement.

Our viewers have proven that amazing success is possible through grassroots distribution.  Loose Change 2nd edition has been viewed over 80 million times, and we intend to triple that, at least, with Loose Change Final Cut.  We have decided to challenge the traditional marketing channels and reinvent the way that films are distributed. 

Loose Change Final Cut will be available at 12:01 AM, EST, on November 11, 2007 as a digital download.  One week later, the DVD will start shipping – in your hands in time for Thanksgiving in the US.  In December 2007, we will be working with theaters that have already committed to showing the film and looking to our grassroots supporters to get their local theaters to show the film.  The immediate success of the DVD and digital version will ensure the content of the film remains untouched while grabbing the interest of independent theaters throughout the world.

Distribution of the film will be done directly through the Loose Change site, through Prison Planet (Alex Jones), and through Joining the Dots TV (Mercury Media in the UK).  Digital versions will retail for $6.95, and the DVD will be $19.95.

Louder Than Words remains committed to the truth and will be donating 10% of profits to such organizations as The Feal Good Foundation.  Join us in making a difference and pushing for a real 9/11 investigation!


Thank you for your continued support.

• Loose Change Final Cut Release Date Announced: Internet phenomenon to arrive November 11th, features all-new material and interviews - After many months of anticipation, a release date has finally been announced for Loose Change Final Cut, the pre-eminent 9/11 truth documentary. The film, which features all-new material and interviews, will hit the web on November 11th and also be available to order on DVD that same day. The original Loose Change and Loose Change 2nd Edition have been viewed at least 50 million times over the Internet, making it one of the most watched movies in history, but the Final Cut goes above and beyond, making it not simply the third in a trilogy but a completely new film with oodles of unseen footage, commentary, interviews and eyewitness testimony.

• Bill Maher: Corporate Media Gatekeeper and Security Guard: Activist from We Are Change LA gets under the skin of corporate shill - After HBO employee Bill Maher lent a hand in evicting a “rowdy protester” from his show on Friday, the Associated Press wasted no time characterizing him as a “security guard” for the effort. “Maher on Friday night helped security remove a rowdy protester from the studio during his weekly HBO show ‘Real Time with Bill Maher,’ and it was all captured on live television,” including the point made by the so-called protester. “Maher was talking science during one of his weekly panel discussions when a protester in his audience stood up, held up a smuggled-in sign reading ‘9/11 is a cover up fraud’ and shouted comments to the same effect.”

• 9/11 truthers Infiltrate Bill Maher Audience You Tube - At least 6 members of We Are Change LA were hauled out of Bill Mahers "Real Time". During the live taping of tonights show Members of We Are Change LA stood up and interupted the show with 9/11 questions. One member was thrown to the ground, roughed up and hauled out by security. Another member was taunted when a security gaurd took his hat and threw it. 

• 9/11 Worker's Kin Rejects Death Ruling - Fresh from ruling that World Trade Center dust did not kill a police detective, a medical examiner offered the man's relatives other reasons Friday for his death, an explanation the family found "not acceptable," their lawyer said. Chief Medical Examiner Charles Hirsch would not publicly elaborate on his findings in the death of James Zadroga, who had worked hundreds of hours in the toxic dust at ground zero after the Sept. 11 attacks, Hirsch's spokeswoman said. Hirsch asked the family not to disclose what he told them, said Michael Barasch, the Zadrogas' attorney. "Dr. Hirsch felt that there were other reasons for Zadroga's death. The family disagrees with it. I disagree with it," Barasch said. The doctor "came up with reasons that were not acceptable to us," the attorney said.

• 9/11 New World Rising: Final Director's Cut - A new place for 9-11 films, 9-11 new world rising explores not only the imposiblility of the official story of 9-11 but also names names of all the key suspects who stood to gain from the black operation that was September 11th 2001.And wish to usher in a "new world order". But also shows what YOU can do to take action to alert others of the goals set forth after 9-11 in an attempt for global domination.

• 9/11 should be campaign material - It came as a surprise to many political observers that Hillary Clinton, not Rudy Giuliani, was the first 2008 presidential candidate to use 9/11 images in a campaign ad. Predictably, she was criticized in some quarters for “exploiting” the tragedy for political gain. Given the raw feelings that 9/11 still generates, and the Bush administration’s manipulation of the tragedy to sell the country on an ill-conceived war, it is understandable that this is a heavily laden subject.

• U.S. ‘Terrorologist’ Webster Tarpley Tours Britain To Reveal 9/11 Truth - Since 9/11, evidence has come to light that contradicts that day’s infamous terrorist attack. American historian Webster Tarpley argues that this is nothing new, serious inconsistencies have been associated with terror attacks for hundreds of years throughout the Western world. Whilst much post 9/11 evidence has been well sourced it has trickled out, having far less impact than the official narrative which holds Islamic fanatics entirely responsible. The end result is that press and public are left confused and disorientated by a lack of resolution to one of the biggest stories of our age. Terrorology is a growing discipline that seeks to bring academic rigour and reasoned argument to analysing this highly emotive subject.

• New Film Exposes How Rudy Failed Firefighters On 9/11 - Filmmaker Robert Greenwald has released another explosive short documentary film about Rudy Giuliani, this time highlighting the former New York City mayor’s controversial handling of radios used by the city’s fire department on Sept. 11. Greenwald is also petitioning the New York City Council to launch an investigation into the matter. The web video, released Monday by Brave New Films, alleges that during his administration Giuliani failed to equip the FDNY with adequate, let alone functioning, communication equipment. That in turn created massive problems on 9/11 and may have contributed to the unnecessary deaths of dozens of servicemen.

• Cynthia McKinney’s Big Issue - 9/11 Truth: Courage Under Fire - A constant thorn in the US government’ side, controversial former congresswoman Cynthia Mckinney tells Helena Drakakis why the authorities have been revealed as ‘huge liars’. Cynthia McKinney hates the word ‘conspiracy’. As a former democrat and congresswoman she is never more than one step away from controversy, and she’s in London to promote the 9/11 Truth Movement, an organisation which disputes the official version of the Twin Towers attacks in 2001.

• 9/11 TRUTH: ICELANDIC SCHOLAR ELIAS DAVIDSSON’S UK TOUR - Elias Davidsson is an Iceland-based musical composer, human rights campaigner and researcher. He was born in Palestine in 1941 to Jewish refugees from Germany and grew up in Jerusalem in a neighbourhood where Jews, Muslims and Christians lived in peace together, which as he says has permanently coloured his outlook on current Middle Eastern problems. Although he has no university background he describes himself as an “independent scholar in international law and human rights”, with the emphasis on ‘scholar’. His articles in the fields of international law and human rights have been published in peer-reviewed journals such as Netherlands Quarterly of Human Rights, International Journal of Human Rights and Florida Journal of International Law and International Legal Theory (published by the American Society of International Law). He is among the very few Icelanders, including tenured professors, whose articles have been published in such periodicals.

• Feds may have sought surveillance before 9/11 - Former Qwest Communications International Chief Executive Joseph Nacchio said the National Security Agency (NSA) approached Qwest more than six months before the Sept. 11 attacks about an unidentified NSA program, according to court documents unsealed this week. Nacchio, who is appealing a conviction for insider trading, also said the government withdrew a $200 million contract after Qwest refused to participate in an NSA program the company's top lawyer said was illegal. Details about the alleged NSA program have been removed from the documents, but Nacchio's lawyer said last year that the NSA had approached the company about participating in a warrantless-surveillance program to gather information about Americans' phone records.

• '9/11 Truthers' flip the bird at Bill Maher - After being broadly denounced as "crazy people" by HBO's sharp-tongued Bill Maher, some members of the so-called 9/11 Truth movement -- a group convinced that US government accounts of the Sept. 11 tragedies do not fully explain the events of that day -- decided to give Maher a taste of his own caustic medicine. In a new video making its rounds on the internet, one band of miffed Los Angeles-based "Truthers" borrows the graphics, theme music and trademark bite of Maher's popular "New Rules" segment to push back at the comedian's charges that conspiracy theorists are lunatics. "Crazy people are defined by acting crazy," activist Stewart Howe says in the clip, sitting alongside a Maher-esque video window depicting Fox News host Bill O'Reilly in a straight jacket. "9/11 Truthers," he continues, "are defined by a patriotic quest for the truth."

• Low birthweights linked to 9/11 - An increase in low birthweight babies born in and around New York in the months after 9/11 has been blamed on stress caused by the attacks. The journal Human Reproduction reported a two-thirds increase in the risk of giving birth to a slightly underweight baby in the week after 9/11. The University of California at Berkeley researchers found it was higher even months later.

• Met chief calls for stronger anti-terror law - Police will soon need the power to detain terror suspects for up to 90 days without charge, the country's most senior policeman said today. Sir Ian Blair, Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said the growing complexity and magnitude of terrorist plots meant that before long anti-terrorist officers would need extra time to hold suspects beyond the current 28-day limit. His remarks represented Scotland Yard's first public intervention in the debate on new counter-terrorism laws since senior officers were accused of meddling in politics in the run up to the extension of detention periods from 14 to 28 days.

• Walmart Intercom: 9/11 Truth - Nathan Moulton shows just how easy it is to get on a Walmart intercom to spread some 9/11 truth. This is a ruddy awesome video, good on Calgary 9/11 Truth.org!!!.  (RELATED: Go to calgary911truth.org)

• The ‘Silent’ 9/11 Settlement - Four of the comparatively few families who declined to participate in the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund have settled claims against the airline and other companies involved with American Airlines Flight 77, which was flown into the Pentagon. The families assert that they opted for litigation to learn more about what went wrong. Said Irene Golinski of Columbia, Maryland, whose husband, Ronald was aboard Flight 77 and one of 125 people to die at the Pentagon: “I really didn’t go into it for the money, I went into it for the answers.” The families, however, will be unable to share those answers because of a broad gag order that is part of the settlement, the financial terms of which also are confidential. It therefore is not known if the families received more than they would have from the compensation fund set up by Congress after the terror attacks.

• New Evidence that the Official Story about 9/11 is Indefensible: by David Ray Griffin - Early in 2007, Interlink Books published my Debunking 9/11 Debunking: An Answer to Popular Mechanics and Other Defenders of the Official Conspiracy Theory. The stimulus for my writing this book was the appearance in August 2006---just before the fifth anniversary of 9/11---of four publications intended to bolster the official account by debunking the alternative view, according to which 9/11 was an inside job. The most explicit and well-known of these publications was a book by Popular Mechanics entitled Debunking 9/11 Myths.

• No matter what the question is, Rudy says 9/11 - For Rudy Giuliani, 9/11 is the answer. To almost anything, it seems. After all, it's why America fell in love with him on that darkest of days, when the mayor was the only person on TV reassuring the nation. It's why he's the Republican front-runner for President. "For me, every day is an anniversary of Sept. 11," he said in Florida last month. Giuliani wastes no opportunity to bring up 9/11 on the campaign trail. Sometimes, it looks like a stretch.

• Hillary Using 9/11 for her Campaign - Out of all the candidates, I honestly thought Giuliani was going to be the only one who use the 9/11 events as a part of their campaign advertisement. It turns out Hillary Clinton is now probably the first to put it into action. The reaction to it is still unclear. There are people who support her more and people who don't think 9/11 should be used in a campaign at all. I think it's brilliant. She knew what she was getting herself into before her 9/11 commercial was aired. And this kind of reaction to the public is what she expected all along. The Fox news said something about Hillary shouldn't have the rights to use 9/11 as a part of her campaign. But the CNN said that Hillary had contributed a lot to 9/11. So, now I'm somewhat confused and will continue to do research. I trust CNN more by the way. Meanwhile, the families of 9/11 victims have mixed feelings about the whole thing. Obviously, the event was very painful for some of them. They're not so sure if it should be used for politics purposes. If you remember, George Bush also used 9/11 for his campaign during the Presidential election in 2004. Was he justified to use the 9/11? Well, many people didn't seem to have problems with it although it did cause some controversies. He's still the President and everything!

• WTC Worker Witnessed Lobby Explosions On 9/11 - A man who was working in the World Trade Center on 9/11 has told WeAreChange.org that he personally witnessed explosions in the lobby area after he left the building to buy hot dogs at the same time that the first plane hit the north tower. "Once the plane hit the top, that's when the bombs started going off on the first floor," said Dean Brown. "It's like the plane actually hit the first floor." "You were hearing boom, boom, boom, boom from the top floor all the way down to the first floor." The eyewitness also describes talking to devastated firefighters who told him there were bombs in the building.

• FBI Refuses To Confirm Identities Of 4 Aircraft Used During 9/11 Attacks - A Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for documentation confirming the recovery and positive identification of debris from the commercial aircraft allegedly used in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (N334AA, N612UA, N644AA, N591UA), has been denied. An appeal is pending.

• McCain: People should have been urged to join military after 9-11 - White House hopeful John McCain said today that President Bush made a mistake after the September 11th terror attacks by encouraging people to shop rather than urging citizens to join the military or volunteer. McCain told students at a military school in Camden, South Carolina, that people would have joined the military or volunteer groups if the president had urged them to do so. The Arizona senator made the comments after shelving a speech that was highly critical of Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.

• FBI Thought Bombs Brought Down Towers On 9/11: Working premise that truck bombs aided WTC collapse dovetails with arrest reports that were later buried - According to a terror expert interviewed by USA Today on 9/11, the FBI's initial working premise was that trucks packed with explosives aided the collapse of the twin towers, a fact that dovetails with reports of middle easterners being arrested after running away from truck bombs that later exploded that day. Lauren Ashburn: "Joining me is Jack Kelley, now he is a foreign correspondent - war correspondent - and just came back from Israel. He has some information about these attacks. Jack, what can you tell us happened, first in New York."

• Why Did WTC 7's Rooftop Penthouse Collapse Ahead Of The Rest Of The Tower? - Why did the collapse of WTC 7 shortly after 5pm on September 11, 2001, begin with the fall of the rooftop penthouse located on the east end of the tower? Based on the following images, one can see that significant structural damage to the southeast face of WTC 7, directly below the penthouse (yellow circle), apparently did not exist. This conclusion can be based on the survival of the pedestrian bridge located near street level, directly below this rooftop penthouse (red circle). The absence of heavy structural steel from WTC 1 in the region of this bridge (right), virtually eliminates the possibility that significant damage to the southeast face of WTC 7, lead to the onset of WTC 7's collapse.

• First Responder Kevin McPadden: Shocking New 9/11 Revelations - A 9/11 first responder has shed new light on how he heard a countdown before the demolition of Building 7, how he was told to "shut up" by superiors when he tried to report secondary explosions and why "vicious security" measures were enacted to prevent people from accessing certain areas of ground zero. Former Air Force Special Operations for Search and Rescue expert, Kevin McPadden traveled to ground zero completely of his own accord and spent the next four days searching through the rubble and nearby buildings for survivors. In a video interview with Alex Jones, McPadden describes the moments before the collapse of WTC 7, the countdown he heard, and the attempts to cover-up evidence at ground zero.

• Republican Opponents Afraid To Attack Giuliani On 9/11 - Rudy Giuliani has made his performance on Sept. 11 the dominant pillar of his campaign, a strategy that has proved at once effective and controversial. While the former New York City mayor finds himself atop national polls and well-positioned to capture the Republican nomination, he has also exposed himself to criticism that he is overstating his terrorism credentials and crassly politicizing the issue. Yet just three months before the first primary vote is cast, none of Giuliani's top-tier primary opponents have taken the bait.

• CFR's Hart Suggests False Flag Event For Iran War: Tacit warning to Iranian government suggests staged event may be used to ensure "bombs fall on your head" - Council on Foreign Relations member Gary Hart, famed for stating that Americans will die en- mass on home soil this century, and for declaring 48 hours after 9/11 that it should be used "to carry out a new world order", has written a scathing letter to the leaders of Iran clearly warning that the U.S. government has a history of staging provocations in order to initiate conflict with other nations and that Iran could be next. Hart references the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor in 1898, which led to the Spanish American war, as well as the Gulf of Tonkin incident, which was ultimately the catalyst for airstrikes on Vietnam. Why does Hart reference these two cases? Because they are both examples of staged managed events that were used to coerce the American public into supporting war.

• Anger at Giuliani 9/11 fundraiser - Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani has been criticised over a fundraising party at which participants are being urged to donate $9.11. The International Association of Fire Fighters accuses him of exploiting the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks. Mr Giuliani rose to national prominence as New York's mayor on 9/11. The Giuliani campaign says it did not plan the event, which is due to take place on Wednesday evening in California at the home of a supporter. Nevertheless, the firefighters association said the stated theme of the fundraiser - "$9.11 for Rudy" was in poor taste.

• Do 9/11 Conspiracy Theories Upset You? - The 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon were brainstormed, arranged and executed by dark, shadow agents of the American government seeking to throw us into shock, horror and then rage. Their ultimate goal was US military action in the Middle East. Theories like the above are all over. Not only do books, magazines and websites spout them, but home brewed films like Loose Change, seek to "uncover truth" about that Tuesday morning in September of 2001. Hollywood celebrities like Charlie Sheen and Rosie O'Donnell have even embraced 9-11 conspiracy theories. I want to hear two sides to a story - don't we all? With something as complicated as this, there may indeed be more sides which won't be fully told for years. Even the 9-11 Commission upon publication of their report noted that the account they'd published wasn't a definitive version of the events, or what lead up to it in the first place.

• MAINSTREAM MEDIA WORKS TO LINK HOLOCAUST DENIAL TO ASKING (ANY) QUESTIONS ABOUT 9/11 TRUTH: Ahmadinejad Questions 9/11, Holocaust - Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defended Holocaust deniers and raised questions about who carried out the Sept. 11 attacks in a tense showdown Monday at Columbia University where the school's head introduced the visitor by calling him a ``petty and cruel dictator.'' Ahmadinejad, appearing shaken by what he called ``insults'' from his host, sought to portray himself as an intellectual and argued that his regime had respect for reason and science. But the former engineering professor soon found himself drawn into the type of rhetoric that has alienated American audiences in the past.   (COMMENTARY: Got questions about 9/11?... I guess that you're one of them Holocaust deniers then... I read about it in the London Guardian!)

• Giuliani Party Seeks $9.11 Per Person - A supporter of Rudy Giuliani's is throwing a party that aims to raise $9.11 per person for the Republican's presidential campaign. Abraham Sofaer is having a fundraiser at his Palo Alto, Calif., home on Wednesday, when Giuliani backers across the country are participating in the campaign's national house party night. But Sofaer said he had nothing to do with the "$9.11 for Rudy" theme.

• Giuliani Confronted for Desecrating 9/11 Dead - Hovering over the consecrated remains at Ground Zero is a ghostly air of harrowing memories and unanswered questions. Maybe that's why former Mayor Giuliani feels the urge to leave so quickly when pieces of those memories begin to surface and the truth begins to hurt. Certainly, Giuliani did not want to think about the fact that he trashed the remains of more than 40% of Ground Zero victims-- and used them to fill potholes and to pave roads. As a consequence, many family members never found their loved ones and their tragedies were made worse by callous desecration on the part of a leader they were supposed to be able to trust.

• Cynthia McKinney's 'Confronting Empire' in Leeds, UK: Organised by the West Yorkshire and Leeds Truth Campaigns and 911 Truth Skipton - Saturday 09th Sept 2007: -

(SPECIAL THANKS GO TO NARINDER FOR RECORDING THIS)

• UK 9/11 TRUTH STREET ACTION REPORT: Download Sunday 16th September's broadcast on Bradford based Islam Radio featuring cremationofcare.com webmaster Joseph Skelton. Topic of discussion; Local 9/11 truth street action and the sixth anniversary.

• The continued exploitation of 9/11 - Like other colossal events, the attacks of September 11, 2001 on New York and Washington, have significantly transformed many countries. The events of 9/11 have had devastating repercussions on the regional and international levels, and forced some rulers in Arab and Muslim countries to make some unsavoury choices. On that ominous day, the US administration, under George W. Bush, began to look more narrowly and fanatically than ever before at regional and international issues.

• US blocks Iran leader 9/11 visit - The New York authorities have rejected a request from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to visit the site of the 11 September 2001 attacks. The Iranian president will arrive in New York on Sunday to address the United Nations General Assembly. A New York police spokesman said the World Trade Center site was closed to visitors because of construction work. He said requests by Mr Ahmadinejad to visit Ground Zero would be opposed on security grounds. New York Police Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne said the Iranian leader had asked the permission of the police department, the US Secret Service and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to visit the site. White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe told reporters it seemed "more than odd that the president of a country that is a state sponsor of terror would visit Ground Zero". And Zalmay Khalilzad, the United States ambassador to the UN, told journalists that the US would not support Iran using the site for a "photo op".   (COMMENTARY: So I guess that Iran was behind 9/11 now!  And those who were ACTUALLY complicit in the attacks like Giuliani and Bush have been grandstanding at Ground Zero for years)

• U.S. Spy Chief: 9/11 'Could Have Been Prevented': Director of National Intelligence Says U.S. Didn't Connect Available Information - Six years after the deadliest attack on U.S. soil, the head of U.S. spy operations admitted to lawmakers that "9/11 should have and could have been prevented." Director of National Intelligence, Michael McConnell, told members of the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday that "it was an issue of connecting information that was available." McConnell, explaining that the intelligence community was, at the time, very focused on foreign threats, said the community allowed itself "to be separated from anything that was potentially domestic," and that domestic threats were "not something we [were] supposed to be concerned with."

• Why myth linking Hussein, 9/11 still thrives - The resilient myth that Saddam Hussein plotted 9/11 is proof that Mark Twain was right when he said, "A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." Even today, long after this 9/11 myth has been officially and repeatedly discredited, roughly 40 percent of Americans still insist that Hussein conspired with al-Qaeda to bring down the Twin Towers. And it's a fair bet that this myth will remain in mass circulation as long as proponents of the Iraq war persist in believing that it is savvy politics to prey on people's ignorance. Consider, for instance, the current TV ads - sponsored by a White House front group known as Freedom's Watch - that seek to shore up waning support for the Iraq war by perpetuating the canard that 9/11 was a Hussein production. In their quest to stoke emotions in defiance of fact, the ad-makers aren't exactly subtle. First, some military vets are shown making the case for staying in Iraq. Then, in the key image, we're back on 9/11. The north tower is burning, the second tower is seconds away from igniting, and these words flash on the screen: They Attacked Us.

• Terrorists-in-wait or just misfits?: Seven in Miami face trial, but some doubt they could -- or would -- have attacked - The charges were stunning: Seven Miami men were accused of trying to join forces with al-Qaeda to blow up the FBI headquarters in Miami Beach and the Sears Tower in Chicago. On closer examination, however, the explosive accusations fizzled. Even government officials described the group's plans as "more aspirational than operational." Now, more than a year later, it comes down to a jury to decide whether the men, who were living in the low-income Liberty City area, were homegrown terrorists bent on bringing down the U.S. government or innocent dupes entrapped by paid informants.

• Bill Maher: 9/11 Truthers need professional help, not publicity - Bill Maher takes a jab at the 9/11 Truth movement in a recent "New Rules" segment. "Crazy people who still think the government brought down the Twin Towers in a controlled explosion have to stop pretending that I'm the one who's being naive," says Maher. How big a lunatic do you have to be to watch two giant airliners packed with jet fuel slam into buildings on live TV, igniting a massive inferno that burned for two hours, and then think 'Well, if you believe that was the cause...'

• 9/11 -- the big cover-up? - Even the chair of the 9/11 Commission now admits that the official evidence they were given was ‘far from the truth’. Six years after 9/11, the American public have still not been provided with a full and truthful account of the single greatest terror attack in U.S. history. What they got was a turkey. The 9/11 Commission was hamstrung by official obstruction. It never managed to ascertain the whole truth of what happened on September 11 2001. The chair and vice chair of the 9/11 Commission, respectively Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, assert in their book, Without Precedent, that they were “set up to fail” and were starved of funds to do a proper investigation. They also confirm that they were denied access to the truth and misled by senior officials in the Pentagon and the federal aviation authority; and that this obstruction and deception led them to contemplate slapping officials with criminal charges.

• Computers will be "trained to talk like terrorists" - Improvements in voice mimicking technology could lead to a new form of "vocal terrorism", scientists are warning. At the current rate of progress, researchers believes that in 10-15 years computers will be able to perfectly mimic human speech after hearing just one sentence. Aside from the obvious implications for Karaoke and prank phone calls, scientists also believe the technology could have serious repercussions in the fields of fraud and terrorism. One of the scenarios postulated envisages a phone call from someone who the customer believes to be their bank manager asking for account details, which could then be used by fraudsters to empty their bank account. Scientists also speculate on a type of terrorism whereby an official's "voice" is broadcast over a country's communications network, carrying false instructions or information to citizens.   (COMMENTARY: Think back to 9/11 and those alleged cell phone calls that were made to the family members from the airplane hijack victims at impossible altitudes... this technology has probably been around for a few years don't you think?)

• Colbert: We don't need another 9/11, we need re-runs - Stephen Colbert commented this week on various manifestations of the sixth anniversary of the destruction of the World Trade Center. He began with a Philadelphia Daily News editorial titled "To save America, we need another 9/11," in which columnist Stu Bykofsky suggested that future targets for al Qaeda might include "the Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Rushmore, Chicago's Wrigley Field." "Do not be so humble, Mr. Bykofsky." stated Colbert. "You are clearly enough of a patriot that your house belongs on that list." "Call me crazy," Colbert continued, "but I don't think we need another attack to re-establish post-9/11 unity." He recommended instead the example of MSNBC's unedited re-airing of three hours of its original 9/11 coverage.

• 9/11 explains the impotence of the antiwar movement: By Paul Craig Roberts - The antiwar movement has proven impotent to stop the war in Iraq despite the fact that the war was initiated on the basis of lies and deception. The antiwar movement stands helpless to prevent President Bush from attacking Iran or any other country that he might demonize for harboring a future 9/11 threat. September 11 enabled Bush to take America to war and to keep America at war even though the government’s explanation of the events of September 11 is mired in controversy and disbelieved by a large percentage of the population. Although the news media’s investigative arm has withered, other entities and individuals continue to struggle with unanswered questions. In the six years since 9/11, numerous distinguished scientists, engineers, architects, intelligence officers, pilots, military officers, air traffic controllers, and foreign dignitaries have raised serious and unanswered questions about the official story line.

• Pentagon Censors 9/11 Suspect's Tape - The Pentagon has censored an audio tape of the suspected mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks speaking at a military hearing - cutting out Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's explanation for why Islamic militants waged jihad against the United States. After months of debate by several federal agencies, the Defense Department released the tape Thursday.

• 9/11 First Responder Heard WTC 7 Demolition Countdown: Former Air Force Special Operations for Search and Rescue expert witnessed officials attempt to conceal planned nature of demolition - A 9/11 first responder has gone on the record to describe how he heard a demolition-style countdown precede the collapse of WTC 7, eyewitness testimony that dovetails with other EMT's and rescue personnel who were also told that Building 7 was going to be "brought down". Earlier this year, we reported on the testimony of an anonymous EMT named Mike who told Loose Change producer Dylan Avery that hundreds of emergency rescue personnel were told over bullhorns that Building 7, a 47 story skyscraper adjacent the twin towers that was not hit by a plane yet imploded symmetrically later in the afternoon on 9/11, was about to be "pulled" and that a 20 second radio countdown preceded its collapse.

• Castro says US lied about 9/11 attacks - Fidel Castro today joined the band of September 11 conspiracy theorists by accusing the US of spreading disinformation about the attacks that took place six years ago. In a 4,256-word article read by a Cuban television presenter last night, the country's leader asserted that the Pentagon was hit by a rocket, not a plane, because no traces were found of its passengers. "Only a projectile could have created the geometrically round orifice created by the alleged airplane," he said. "We were deceived as well as the rest of the planet's inhabitants," he said. In fact, the remains of the bodies of the crew and passengers of American Airlines flight 77 were found at the Pentagon crash site, and positively identified by DNA. As for the attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York, Mr Castro wrote that the way the passenger jets crashed into the twin towers on September 11 and the data from the plane's black boxes "do not correspond with the criteria of mathematicians, seismologists, and information and demolition specialists".

• 9/11 death toll may rise - If you're curious about the lingering ill-effects of the World Trade Center attacks (which continue to impact tens of thousands of people), check out this site. Launched by New York City's Health Department yesterday, on the sixth anniversary of 9/11, it provides information for and about people who continue to suffer from health problems as a result of the Twin Towers' collapse. According to the research, much of the lasting health damage was done by the intense dust cloud created by the towers' debris. Many passersby, local building occupants and rescue workers who got caught in or near the cloud developed respiratory problems, some of them very serious. One of the site's sadder observations is that "hundreds of firefighters developed severe respiratory illness and became disabled and could no longer work as firefighters." Like all disasters, the attacks also wreaked psychological havoc on those who experienced them, creating cases of serious depression, general anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder.

• Researcher: Bin Laden's beard is real, video is not - On the Friday before the sixth anniversary of 9/11, Osama bin Laden appeared in a new video, his first since prior to the U.S. presidential elections in 2004. In analyzing the video, Neal Krawetz of Hactor Factor, an expert on digital image forensics, said in his latest blogs that the video contained many visual and audio splices, and that all of the modifications were of very low quality. Most striking is bin Laden's beard, which has been gray in recent images. For this video it is black. "As far as my tools can detect, there has been no image manipulation of the bin Laden portion of the image beyond contrast adjustment. His beard really does appear to be that color."

• UK 9/11 TRUTH STREET ACTION WEEKEND 2007: IN VIDEOS AND PICTURES - On the streets of Bradford, Leeds and London.  Including video footage of the historic 9/11 truth street action demo in London to mark the sixth anniversary, outside the Houses of Parliament.  (Please help spread this link!)

• Video shows Bin Laden 'in false beard' - The US government is analysing videotape that appears to show Osama bin Laden in a false beard, marking the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. American intelligence sources told ABC News that the video message was authentic, recently produced and proves that the al-Qai'da leader is still alive. US authorities have a transcript, which they say encourages potential suicide bombers to commit missions against the West. Evidence that Bin Laden is still directing al-Qai'da operations, despite the best efforts of the US military and a $50m (£25m) price on his head, will be a blow to President George Bush who staked his reputation on winning the "war on terror". In a banner ad for the video, the al-Qai'da leader, now aged 50, looked fit, with a full beard of dark black hair, rather than his usual grey-streaked beard. Instead of the customary combat jacket, he was wearing Arabic robes.

• US still awaits 9/11 answers - A new poll finds a majority of Americans still await an inquiry into the president's and vice president's actions before, during and after the 9/11 attacks. Over 30% also believe Presdient Bush and/or Vice President Cheney should be immediately impeached by the House of Representatives. 67% also fault the 9/11 Commission for not investigating the technical aspects of the collapse of the World Trade Center. The poll was conducted by Zogby International via telephone of adults across the US from August 23 to August 27, 2007.

• Neo-Cons Enlist Bin Laden's Help To Counter 9/11 Truth: Discredited Pentagon-affiliated IntelCenter to release another dubious tape right when Bush needs it most, Osama pops up hours after new Zogby poll shows Americans want new 9/11 investigation for second time running - The U.S. government, via its closely affiliated IntelCenter front, is to release a new tape of Osama Bin Laden on the sixth anniversary of 9/11 in a desperate ploy to counter 9/11 truth and a new Zogby poll that again proves the majority of Americans are highly suspect of the official story. A pre-released image shows an apparently older looking Bin Laden with a dyed dark brown beard, meaning the individual in the tape is either a body double or the terror master has been using Grecian Formula 16 in between his dashing from cave to cave across the mountainous Pakistani border region.

• HERE WE GO AGAIN! Bin Laden 'to release new video' on 9/11 anniversary - OSAMA bin Laden is to a release a new video on the sixth anniversary of the 11 September attacks on the United States, it was reported last night. The al-Qaeda figurehead will address his message to the American people, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors fundamentalism on the internet. A still posted on an Islamist website, shows bin Laden addressing the camera. His beard, which in previous messages had been streaked with grey, was entirely dark and appeared aged. A message on the webpage said it would soon carry the new bin Laden video to mark the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The site did not say when the video, produced by al-Qaeda's media arm, al-Sahab, would be issued. Bin Laden was last seen in a video statement aired to coincide with the November 2004 US presidential election. Since then, he has issued several audio messages, the last one in July 2006 in which he vowed al-Qaeda would fight the US anywhere in the world.

• Former Congressional Office of Technology Assessment Senior Staff Member Calls for New Investigation of 9/11 - In an online editorial yesterday, Joel S. Hirschhorn, PhD, former Senior Staff Member of the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment (OTA), called for a new investigation of 9/11. “First, let the technical truth emerge. Then, if necessary, cope with the inevitable political, conspiracy and other questions. But let us not allow a possible painful truth block the primary task of determining once and for all what caused the collapse of the WTC towers and building no. 7.” Dr. Hirschhorn is a nationally recognized engineer who has testified before Congress more than 50 times on technology, science, and environmental issues. In addition to his work for the OTA, Dr. Hirschhorn also served as Director of Environment, Energy and Natural Resources for the National Governors Association.   (RELATED: See our section Prominent Figures Speak Out)

• 9/11 DVD Delayed to Protect the Clintons? - The writer of last year's TV miniseries "The Path to 9/11" says the release of the show's DVD is being delayed in order to protect Bill Clinton's legacy and Hillary Clinton's candidacy. The Los Angeles Times reports that Cyrus Nowrasteh says he was told by ABC that the DVD would be released this past January, then April, then this summer. Now there is no release date set. The mini-series cast a critical eye on the Clinton administration's anti-terror efforts prior to the attacks. It was a ratings success and garnered seven Emmy nominations.

• Dublin Club cancels David Ray Griffin's 9/11 Lecture Due to Threat of Jewish Protest
  
  David Ray Griffin's lecture scheduled for September 11th at the Sugar Clubin Dublin, Ireland, has been canceled by the club manager. The club manager writes, "members of the local Jewish Community are planning to stage a protest outside The Sugar Club on September 11th 2007 because of the nature of the talk you planned to stage here."
  
  An email exchange between Morgan Stack of Ireland, and the club manager can be read here;
  http://www.911truth.ie/sugarclubyellowbelly.html
  
  David Ray Griffin is not an anti-semite, nor does he equate 9/11 skepticism with a "Jewish" or "Zionist" conspiracy. So the protesters appear to be misinformed about the "nature of the talk", and now this has blown into the cancellation of an important lecture with very little time to secure and properly publicize a new venue.

• 9/11 victims’ kin keep up fight - Three dozen families of 9/11 terror attack victims are vowing to turn the national spotlight back on Logan International Airport security lapses in a federal courtroom and say they’ll head to a mediation session tomorrow with no intention of settling. “At least I have to try. I’m a father,” said Mike Low, whose 28-year-old daughter Sara Elizabeth Low was a flight attendant on American Airlines [AMR] Flight 11 and had just moved into a Beacon Hill apartment before she was killed as the hijacked jet slammed into the World Trade Center in New York. Low said he is hoping a series of full-blown trials set to begin later this month will finally “disclose facts why 19 Saudi thugs were allowed to murder our loved ones.”

• Wiretaps on the rise nationally since 9/11 - Investigators have tapped more phones, listened to more people and recorded more conversations since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks not only in terrorism probes, but in traditional criminal cases, too. State and federal courts authorized 8,122 wiretaps for domestic criminal investigations in the first five years after Sept. 11, 2001, marking a nearly 25 percent increase over the previous five years. Judges denied wiretap applications only twice.

• WEST YORKSHIRE TRUTH CAMPAIGN – PRESS RELEASE: US Presidential Candidate, Cynthia McKinney, visits Leeds - Former Congresswoman and US Presidential candidate, Cynthia McKinney, is coming to the UK as part of a European tour and will be presenting a talk entitled "Confronting The Empire". The event, organised by the West Yorkshire Truth Campaign, will be held at the James Graham Building (Lecture Theatre B), Leeds Metropolitan University, Headingley Campus, Leeds LS6 3QS on Sunday September 9th at 7.00pm.   (LINK OPENS IN PDF FORMAT)

• Some 9/11 groups want Giuliani silent at ceremony - Families of September 11 victims and emergency responders raised alarms on Wednesday that former New York mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani might politicize the sixth anniversary memorial of the attacks. Giuliani has attended all five previous September 11 commemorations but this is the Republican's first engagement as a presidential candidate seeking the White House. "Families and first responders are outraged and call for this speaking invitation to be rescinded and insist that politics be kept out of the 9/11 anniversary ceremony," said a statement by four September 11 groups. "Rudy Giuliani should attend in silence with other invited guests."

• Google Censors Another 9/11 Documentary: A spate of viewings prompts shut down of classic Alex Jones film - Google Video is once again censoring one of Alex Jones' documentary films after it received a huge jump in viewings last week and briefly entered the top ten on the back of heightened warnings of an impending terror attack. Viewing figures for the 2004 Feature film Martial Law 9/11: Rise of the Police State suddenly sky rocketed to a total of 850,000 after we featured articles on Clergy Response Teams being trained by the federal government to "quell dissent" in the event of a declaration of martial law. The viewing jump also coincided with the History Channel's 9/11 hit piece and continued warnings of an upcoming terror attack on U.S. soil. As the film began to go viral it was suddenly disabled and at time of writing no longer plays at google video.

• Asthma Rates High Among 9/11 Workers - A new survey of Sept. 11-related illnesses has found an alarming increase in asthma _ 12 times higher than normal _ among those who toiled on the toxic debris piles of ground zero. The study was released Monday by the New York City Department of Health, based on responses gathered by the World Trade Center Health Registry. The data show 3.6 percent of the 25,000 rescue and recovery workers in the registry reported developing asthma after working at the site _ more than 12 times the expected figure for adults over a similar time period.

• Market Crash Forecast Suggests New 9/11: Mystery trader bets on huge downturn that could only be preceded by catastrophe - A mystery trader risks losing around $1 billion dollars after placing 245,000 put options on the Dow Jones Eurostoxx 50 index, leading many analysts to speculate that a stock market crash preceded by a new 9/11 style catastrophe could take place within the next month. The anonymous trader only stands to make money if the market crashes by a third to a half before September 21st, which is when the put options expire. A put option is a financial contract between two parties, the buyer and the writer (seller) of the option, in which the buyer stands to benefit only if the price of the asset falls.

• US won't tell Britons why they're banned from travelling to America - British holidaymakers and businessmen banned from travelling to America under anti-terror laws will no longer have any right to know why they have been turned away. The US Department of Homeland Security, set up following the September 11 attacks, last week applied for a blanket ban on disclosing the information it holds on Britons and other EU citizens. Last month, Britain agreed to send the secretive US department all details of UK passengers before they fly to America.

• The police are becoming an anti-terror law unto themselves - THE Metropolitan Police took a lot of flak last week for using anti-terrorism powers to manage the Heathrow climate change protest. In my opinion they deserved it, guilty as they were of a breach of trust and of undermining their case for greater powers to combat terrorism. I don't say that as someone who opposes anti-terror legislation. I don't have a problem with the state protecting its citizens from those who wish to kill or maim them. That's not to say I've not protested against specific anti-terror laws in the past or, more accurately, against their abuse, but I have never been in doubt of the need for them. Since 9/11 there has been a rapid increase in anti-terrorism powers and a consequent diminution in our own civil liberties. Indefinite detention without charge for foreign nationals, subsequently replaced (following legal challenge) by the control order regime; pre-charge detention increased from 14 days to 28 days; new infringements on freedom of speech; banning orders on non-violent groups which promote terrorism; restrictions on the right to protest ... the list goes on.

• Chinese officials predicted 9/11 attacks - Imagine someone predicting the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center in the US two years before the terror strike! Such a forecast was part of an analysis of the weaknesses of the American military system by two Chinese military planners, who also identified Osama bin Laden as one of the likely perpetrators of a possible attack.

• ABC/NBC Footage Captures White Smoke From WTC 2 Base Moments Before Collapse - In the following 9/11 network footage, ABC television captures white smoke beginning to emerge from the base of WTC 2 within moments of its ... all » collapse. A fuller view of this smoke is recorded by NBC television during this same time. A smoke-free region quickly fills with smoke, followed quickly by WTC 2's collapse. Demolition device use at the base of these buildings cannot be entirely ruled out until such time that this smoke, which only appeared just prior to WTC 2's collapse, can be explained: -

• Robert Fisk: Even I question the 'truth' about 9/11 - Each time I lecture abroad on the Middle East, there is always someone in the audience – just one – whom I call the "raver". Apologies here to all the men and women who come to my talks with bright and pertinent questions – often quite humbling ones for me as a journalist – and which show that they understand the Middle East tragedy a lot better than the journalists who report it. But the "raver" is real. He has turned up in corporeal form in Stockholm and in Oxford, in Sao Paulo and in Yerevan, in Cairo, in Los Angeles and, in female form, in Barcelona. No matter the country, there will always be a "raver". His – or her – question goes like this. Why, if you believe you're a free journalist, don't you report what you really know about 9/11? Why don't you tell the truth – that the Bush administration (or the CIA or Mossad, you name it) blew up the twin towers? Why don't you reveal the secrets behind 9/11?   (COMMENTARY: Don't get too excited, this article is a hit-piece on 9/11 truth... or at least it is written as a 'hit-piece'. Often a mainstream news reporter (do 'journalists' exist anymore?) will want to cover 9/11 questions for sensible reasons, but because of the politics - not to mention corruption - in the status quo of their job, they will have to write such an article as a smear... all the time giving out details, for example, of how WTC7 was clearly brought down by planned explosives.  As if to say: 'Yeah look at all these idiots who think that WTC7 was a controlled demolition, look at all these physics professors and engineers, check out the evidence... errr.... I mean what a load of crackpots! (wink wink!)')

• 9/11 Blame Game: CIA Falls on Its Sword Again - If 3,000 people had not died on September 11, 2001, a report released by the CIA’s inspector general would be laughable. “A CIA report released Tuesday blames the top leadership of the agency for major lapses in fighting al-Qaida and outlines how intelligence officials missed numerous opportunities to thwart two hijackers prior to the Sept. 11 attacks,” reports NBC. “The 19-page executive summary, written by the CIA’s inspector general, finds extensive fault with the actions of former director George Tenet and other CIA leaders.”

• History Channel Fraudsters Pass Off Joke Website as Representative Of 9/11 Truth: Liar Bradley Davis used 'Jews Did 9/11' parody to smear truthers during dirty tricks broadcast - As part of a catalogue of dirty tricks employed to smear the truth movement in its 9/11 Conspiracies: Fact or Fiction special, The History Channel used screenshots of an inane parody website and passed it off as representative of people asking questions about the official story. During the introduction to the show, images from the website http://jewsdid911.ytmnd.com were flashed up and associated with the 9/11 truth movement. The website is nothing more than a ludicrous fast moving slideshow of 9/11 images with giant letters that read "JEWS DID 9/11" superimposed on top. Some of the images contain the Star of David and more scribbled "Jews did 9/11" epitaphs appear on other shots in neon green type.

• History Channel Hit Piece: Dirty Tricks, Malicious Lies & Journalistic Fraud: The real story behind Brad Davis, NBC, Popular Mechanics and the History Channel - media whore stooges who engaged in deliberate deception, manipulation and chicanery to please their corporate bosses - The History Channel 9/11 special that aired last night was by far the worst hit piece we have ever witnessed, a completely savage, dishonest and deceptive abomination, replete with dirty tricks, malicious lies and a level of journalistic fraud that goes way beyond simple bias. Bradley Davis, the producer of the show, is a paid liar and a hit piece specialist who deceives people by gaining their confidence and then attacking them behind their back.

• CIA Releases Harsh Internal Report on 9/11 Failures - Under a direct order from Congress, the Central Intelligence Agency today released the executive summary of a top-secret report by its inspector general detailing the agency's shortcomings leading up to the September 11 attacks. While the report concluded that there was "no single point of failure," it was otherwise very critical of the CIA leadership, from former CIA director George Tenet on down, for failing to work as "effectively and cooperatively" as possible on counterterrorism. For example, the report found that while Tenet had signed a memo saying, "We are at war" against terrorists, he did not follow up on his warnings or create a comprehensive plan to guide counterterrorism efforts. The CIA's Counterterrorist Center, the report added, was also "not used effectively as a strategic coordinator" of efforts across the intelligence community.

• Another dent in Rudy's 9/11 image? - Busted? A front-page New York Times story notes that on at least three occasions, Giuliani -- responding to accusations that New York City failed to protect the health of Ground Zero workers -- has boasted that he faced similar risks himself. But: "A complete record of Mr. Giuliani’s exposure to the site is not available for the chaotic six days after the attack, when he was a frequent visitor. But an exhaustively detailed account from his mayoral archive, revised after the events to account for last-minute changes on scheduled stops, does exist for the period of Sept. 17 to Dec. 16, 2001. It shows he was there for a total of 29 hours in those three months, often for short periods or to visit locations adjacent to the rubble. In that same period, many rescue and recovery workers put in daily 12-hour shifts."

• U.S. pre-9/11 memos: Pakistan backs Taliban: Documents allege nation showed ‘resistance’ to helping nab bin Laden - Newly declassified intelligence documents reveal the depth of U.S. officials’ concern that Pakistan was providing funds, arms — and even combat troops — to the Taliban regime in Afghanistan for years before the Sept. 11 attacks. They also show rising frustration at what U.S. officials called Pakistan’s “resistance and/or duplicity” toward Washington’s repeated requests for help in getting the Taliban to hand over Osama bin Laden. A top official at one point said hauling Pakistan before the U.N. Security Council should be considered.

• Wishing For Another 9/11? - In last Thursday’s Philadelphia Daily News, conservative columnist Stu Bykofsky gave voice to the thought that many supporters of the so-called global war on terror are thinking right now. Bykofsky's piece, entitled "To save America, we need another 9/11," was a lament for "how splintered we are politically — thanks mainly to our ineptitude in Iraq — that we've forgotten who the enemy is." While he admitted that wishing for another 9/11 is "sick," Bykofsky wrote that he misses "the community of outrage and resolve" that existed after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

• ALL THE LIES EVENTUALLY LEAD TO DICK CHENEY - Absolute power absolutely corrupts and the Libby conviction was the very tip of an Iceberg of deceit, deception, hubris and abuse of power by the Cheney/Bush administration ~ which began with the 9/11 cover-up, extended to the illegal War, occupation and economic rape of Iraq and is fully visible in the tragedy of New Orleans . Karl Rove's resignation leaves only the dark master himself ~ for all the lies eventually lead to Dick Cheney.

• China's Tallest Building Catches Fire, Does Not Collapse: World Financial Center in Shanghai miraculously defies physics - Shanghai's World Financial Center, the tallest building in China upon completion, defied all known physics yesterday afternoon when it caught fire but did not collapse, a modern day miracle in light of the commonly accepted premise that since 9/11, all steel buildings that suffer limited fire damage implode within two hours. Anyone who has visited Shanghai's Pudong district will note that the World Financial building eerily resembles the twin towers in New York that were destroyed on 9/11, which is why the sight of it catching fire yesterday would have led many to immediately fear the imminent collapse of the structure.

• Exclusive excerpt: The Road to 9/11: Wealth, Empire, and the Future of America: Terror, oil and the "shadow government" - In this exclusive excerpt from his powerful new book, The Road to 9/11: Wealth, Empire, and the Future of America (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press), UC Berkeley professor emeritus Peter Dale Scott asks whether there is a connection between America’s historical use of terror as a political weapon and the recent moves by the Bush administration to suspend the Constitution and create a “shadow government” in the wake of the next terrorist attack.

• A Sit Down With A 9/11 Fire Fighter - A fire fighter’s testimony about what he experienced whilst fighting the fires on 911 has now been released. Official government lies are being challenged not only by hard science, but also by the witnesses who are now recovering sufficiently from their shock and illnesses to tell their story. We have a duty to listen with measured consideration so that we can understand. Currently we understand only the fictions; the conspiracy theories and the politically motivated untruths.

• 9/11 Truth at the San Diego Padres game - San Diego 9/11 Questions meetup group went to the Padres game with a 9/11 banner and got thrown out. Peter, Abby, Laura and Joanne were the brave truthers. Check it out.

• Edwards questions Giuliani over 9/11 exploitation - Democratic Presidential candidate John Edwards says former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is taking every opportunity to exploit the memory of 9/11 for political purposes. The Edwards campaign put out a statement Friday criticizing former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's recent comments regarding September 11th as a "break from reality." Giuliani was in Cincinnati Thursday, defending his role on 9/11 against claims made last month by a firefighters' union.

• Is bin Laden Responsible for the 9/11 attacks? - To those who are not familiar with our work, Ed Haas and I have done extensive research regarding the authenticity of the "bin Laden Confession Tape" that was released by the U.S. government on December 13, 2001. Bush administration officials pointed to the video as the smoking gun and proof that Osama bin Laden was responsible for 9/11. After more than a year of research, we were able to show with a very high degree of certainty that the tape was the result of a sting operation run by U.S. intelligence, with the help of Saudi intelligence, and that bin Laden could have been captured on the date he was taped, September 26, 2001, ten days prior to the war in Afghanistan.

• Kevin Barrett: Reporting on 9/11 conference was distorted and libelous - Dear Editor: Your story on the recent Scholars for 9/11 Truth conference, "9/11 Doubters Doubt Each Other Too," was so distorted and pejorative that if I were a paranoid conspiracy theorist, I would suspect Popper of working for Project Mockingbird. (Google the term to see what I mean.) Out of almost 20 hours of presentations, the reporter focused on the 10 seconds during which one presenter, Dave Von Kleist, expressed his fear of government infiltration of the 9/11 truth movement. And out of the many dozens of hours of informal conversation, Popper chose to highlight one in which similar fears were expressed. I participated in many conversations throughout the weekend and can testify that all were convivial and concerned the science and politics of 9/11, not fears of government infiltration. For more on the conference, people can go to www.mujca.com/madisonconference.htm.

• Are Republicans Hoping for Another 9/11? - Democrats have often been accused by conservatives of secretly wanting to lose the war in Iraq because it would benefit them politically. Given the difficulty in even defining the meaning of "win" and "lose" in the quagmire that is Iraq, it seems a rather specious charge. But let's turn the tables a bit. Are Republicans secretly hoping for another terrorist attack on the homeland? It's a deliberately provocative question, and one that deserves some discussion.

• Right-Wing Media Give Favorable Platform To ‘Another 9/11 - In his Thursday column, Philadelphia Daily News scribe Stu Bykofsky seemingly wished for the tragic death of 3000+ Americans when he wrote that “another 9/11 would help America.” A host of right-wing media outlets provided Bykofsky a national platform yesterday that largely served to give credence to the columnist’s ghoulish suggestion.

• 9/11 workers outraged by new Rudy claim - Rudy Giuliani drew outrage and indignation from Sept. 11 first-responders yesterday by saying he spent as much time - or more - exposed to the site's dangers as workers who dug through the debris for the missing and the dead. Speaking to reporters at a Cincinnati Reds ballgame he caught between fund-raisers, the GOP front-runner said he helped 9/11 families and defended himself against critics of how he managed the attack's aftermath.

• Families reach deal with Mayor over 9/11 anniversary - Relatives of World Trade Centre victims upset by plans to move this year’s September 11 commemoration away from ground zero have agreed a deal with New York’s mayor Michael Bloomberg, allowing them to mourn at the site where their loved ones perished. Bloomberg said he met the families yesterday and agreed to their proposal that they be allowed to descend briefly into the seven-storey pit that was the trade centre’s foundation to pay their respects.

• Another Firefighter Testifies On Explosions Inside WTC - Firefighter John Schroeder, assigned to Engine Company 10 directly across the street from the World Trade Center complex, holds back tears and describes his first-hand experience on Sept. 11th. His story directly contradicts many aspect of the National Commission on Terrorist attacks though corroborates many other eyewitness testimony. “Standing outside the firehouse with my buddies, we were talking about how beautiful the day was. Then just like that, our lives changed forever. Some of those guys I would never see again.”

• More Americans Feel Unsafe in Post 9/11 Era: Angus Reid Global Monitor : Polls & Research  - Many people in the United States feel their country is less safe now than six years ago when, it was the target of a major terrorist attack, according to a poll by Hart/Newhouse released by The Wall Street Journal and NBC News. 37 per cent of respondents feel the U.S. is more vulnerable today, up 14 points since September. Conversely, 34 per cent of respondents think the U.S. is safer now—down eight points in 10 months—and 27 per cent believe the country is about as safe.   (COMMENTARY: Americans feeling unsafe... then mission accomplished for the terrorists I guess, since the essence of terrorism is to keep those that you want to influence politically in a state of fear.  But who does this state of fear benefit?  Who do we see taking advantage of this twisted power in front of us?)

• Rudy Giuliani's Five Big Lies About 9/11: On the stump, Rudy can't help spreading smoke and ashes about his lousy record - Nearly six years after 9/11, Rudy Giuliani is still walking through the canyons of lower Manhattan, covered in soot, pointing north, and leading the nation out of danger's way. The Republican frontrunner is campaigning for president by evoking that visual at every campaign stop, and he apparently believes it's a picture worth thousands of nights in the White House.

• Airlines, Others Sue FBI, CIA To Depose Agents In 9-11 Cases - Airline manufacturer Boeing Co. (BA), major airlines and several airport operators sued the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency on Tuesday in a bid to question current and former agency employees in connection with negligence litigation over the Sept. 11th terrorist attacks. In separate lawsuits, the airlines and others are challenging decisions by the FBI and the CIA that prevent them from conducting depositions of those employees.

• 9/11 victims' families barred from Ground Zero - The sixth anniversary of September 11 attacks is about a month away. And the families of 9/11 victims in United States are being told they may not be able to walk down into ground zero this year. New York city officials say the sight is now a construction zone. Standing among the scores of visitors at the site of the world trade center, Deputy New York Fire Chief Jim Riches says he will always be drawn to Ground Zero. His son Jimmy was one of the more than 300 city firefighters who died when the twin towers fell on 9/11. “We found my son's body on March 25, 2002. And we went down there, took his body out of the pit and walked him up a ramp,” he said. On the anniversaries, since that day, authorities have allowed the victims' families to walk down that ramp to remember their loved ones. However this year may be different.   (COMMENTARY: I wonder if them pesky 9/11 truth demonstrators have anything to do with this decision!)

• Fox News Attempts To Smear Ron Paul After Debate: Though Texas Congressman doesn't believe 9/11 an inside job, his broader message should be embraced by all within the 9/11 truth movement - Ron Paul appeared on Fox News yesterday following the Republican debate in Iowa to discuss a number of issues, including the Texas Congressman's association with Alex Jones, in what was an apparent attempt by Fox to smear the presidential hopeful.

• 9/11 suspect says CIA tortured him - Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, was subjected to the CIA's harshest interrogation methods while he was held in secret prisons around the world for more than three years, part of an interrogation regimen that the International Committee of the Red Cross has called "tantamount to torture," according to an article published on the New Yorker magazine's Web site yesterday. In a 12-page article released Saturday, reporter Jane Mayer analyzes the development of the CIA's secret interrogation techniques and writes that a confidential Red Cross report to the U.S. government details Mohammed's assertions that he was tortured by the CIA. Mayer says unnamed Washington sources told her that Mohammed said he was held naked in his cell, questioned by female interrogators to humiliate him, attached to a dog leash and made to run into walls, and put in painful positions while chained to the floor. Mohammed also said he was "waterboarded" - a simulated drowning - in addition to being held in suffocating heat and painfully cold conditions.

• Rudolph Giuliani would be 'terrible' president - The former top antiterrorism aide to Rudolph Giuliani has launched a stinging critique of the former New York mayor over the September 11 atrocity, attacking a key pillar of his challenge for the White House. Jerome Hauer, New York's emergency management director from 1996 to 2000, blamed Mr Giuliani for locating the city's crisis control room in the World Trade Centre complex, even though it was a known terrorist target after the 1993 truck bomb attack which killed six people at the site.

• Specter, Leahy question use of 9/11 fund money - Two senators want to know why a $1 billion Sept. 11 insurance fund appropriated by Congress to help ailing ground zero workers has not been used to compensate those exposed to harmful substances. Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and the committee's ranking Republican, Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, said in a letter to the insurance company overseeing the Sept. 11 health-related claims that they are considering convening a hearing in September.

• East Anglia Truth at the Eastern Haze Festival, July 2007 - Whilst ex MI5 officer Annie Machon provided the public with a chance to hear a first hand account of her interesting observations during her time with the intelligence services, as well as details on 9/11. The East Anglia Truth tent acted as an information centre with a display board containing important details relating to 9/11, as well as an in-house cinema. Also available were DVDs, books, magazines, stickers and leaflets and hundreds of DVDs and leaflets were distributed during the weekend.

• Coming Soon: The Mother Of All 9/11 Truth Hit Pieces: History Channel, Popular Mechanics, NBC & Hearst Publishing team up for smear job as conflicts of interest run rife - An upcoming documentary entitled The 9/11 Conspiracies, to be aired on the History Channel, may represent the biggest hit piece to date on the 9/11 truth movement and is rife with bias, cronyism and conflicts of interest. The so-called documentary promises not to look at the flaws in the official story from a neutral perspective but to start out by suggesting that any deviation from the official line is "outrageous". The program also features so called independent "experts" who are actually in the employ of the program makers themselves who in turn rely on scores of multi-million dollar contracts with the government and the military-industrial complex.

• 9/11: Rare Evidence of Controlled Demolition - This video shows you not squibs but actual blasting charges possibly going off and rare shots of the making of the WTC "SPIRE". All the video has been stabilized by me for clarity. The sound has been enhanced and syncronized.

• Camp David "Crash" More Evidence Of 9/11 Media Scripting?: CBS News reported that United Airlines Flight 93 had crashed at Camp David - 90 miles away from its alleged resting place in Somerset County, PA - Uncovered archive video showing CBS News reporting that United Airlines Flight 93 had crashed at Camp David, 90 miles away from its supposed final resting place at Somerset County PA, has led to more charges that the media were reading off a de facto script as the events of 9/11 unfolded. According to a CBS News report on 9/11, an FBI official in Washington was informed by the FAA that United Airlines Flight 93 had crashed "into the vicinity of or at Camp David," the presidential retreat.

• Pelosi Says "No" to a New 9/11 Investigation, Claims Close Collaboration with Victim's Families on 9/11 Bill Passage: 9/11 Investigation Also Off the Table For Speaker Who Refuses to Impeach Bush - Newport, Rhode Island - Reporters affiliated with WeAreChange.org and Infowars.com confronted Speaker Nancy Pelosi about a new 9/11 investigation just after the passage of the 9/11 Bill, which only increases already strict security measures, particularly in airports. Pelosi rattled off a quick, "No, no, no" to the idea of a new 9/11 investigation before changing the subject to claim that she "worked closely with the victims' families" and that they supposedly wanted the recent legislation.

• Korey Rowe Could Be Sent Back To Iraq: Loose Change producer 'sent back to unit' - Korey Rowe, one of the producers of the huge 9/11 truth film Loose Change, may be sent back into the heart of battle in Iraq within a month if he is officially returned to his unit according to a story run by the New York Daily Star today. The Star reports that Rowe has been returned to his unit, the 187th Infantry Regiment, part of the 3rd Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division, which is gearing up for its third deployment to Iraq sometime this summer, according to announcements made by the Pentagon back in May.

• Some Who Covered 9/11 Now Experiencing Health Woes, Group Says - The New York Press Photographers Association is asking members of the media to come forward if they are suffering from long-term health effects of covering the World Trade Center attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. David Handschuh, the NYPPA intergovernmental affairs chair and a photographer for the New York Daily News, says he has heard from about a dozen 9/11 media workers who are experiencing health problems. Handschuh, who was hit by debris and suffered a broken leg while covering the attack, said he is among those now experiencing breathing problems.

• Defiant Korey Rowe: "I'm Not Going Anywhere": Loose Change producer released, heads to Fort Campbell to clear his name - A defiant Korey Rowe promised his detractors "I'm not going anywhere" in a brief You Tube video last night after he was released from Fort Drum and headed to Fort Campbell to clear his name for good. Rowe, an Iraq and Afghanistan combat veteran, is one of the producers of Loose Change, a wildly popular documentary that alleges U.S. government involvement in the 9/11 attack. He was arrested on Monday night on charges of desertion even though he had been out of the Army for two years and had made numerous public appearances since at which authorities could have apprehended him.

• Rescue dog who made a name after 9/11 dead - A black Labrador who became a canine hero after burrowing through white-hot, smoking debris in search of survivors at the World Trade Center site after the September 11, 2001 terror attacks has died after a battle with cancer. Owner Mary Flood had Jake put to sleep on Wednesday after a last stroll through the fields and a dip in the creek near their home in Oakley, Utah. He was in too much pain at the end, shaking with a 105-degree-Fahrenheit (40-degree-Celsius) fever as he lay on the lawn. No one can say whether the dog would have gotten sick if he had not been exposed to the smoky air at ground zero, but cancer in dogs Jake's age - he was 12 - is quite common.

• Political Prisoner: Loose Change Producer Korey Rowe Arrested: Iraq, Afghanistan veteran handed over to military officials by police under charges of "deserting the Army" - Loose Change producer and Iraq and Afghanistan veteran Korey Rowe has been arrested and handed over to military officials without bail for allegedly "deserting the Army". According to a report in the New York Daily Star, Rowe was arrested on Monday night at a county Route 47 residence in Oneonta.

• Neo-Cons Cheer Arrest Of Korey Rowe - Neo-Con website Newsbusters and Michele "put every Muslim in a concentration camp" Malkin's Hot Air are both lauding the arrest of Loose Change producer Korey Rowe, advocating the internment of American citizizens for their political opinions. Hot Air laments the fact that Rowe wasn't apprehended earlier at his previous public appearances while Newsbusters columnist Noel Sheppard goes further - identifying Rowe's 9/11 activism as a legitimate reason for his arrest on behalf the Army. Under this logic, Michele Malkin herself should have been incarcerated for questioning the official story of 9/11 in a column she wrote in March 2002. Frothing comments on the Digg page of our earlier article also triumph the fact that the military are now kidnapping American citizens as political prisoners.

• 9/11 Victim's Family Member Demands News Coverage - During a rally cry for more groups within the anti-war movement to help expose 9/11 truth, Manny Badillo, whose uncle, Thomas J. Sgroi, died in the World Trade Center Towers on September 11, took time out to bullhorn a local news van in attempt to persuade greater news coverage of 9/11 truth. Badillo, along with other truthers, give a spirited effort, particularly as it was undertaken spontaneously.

• 9/11 Health Programs Faulted - Federal efforts to coordinate health care programs for sick ground zero workers have been hampered by shaky cost estimates and unsteady spending to keep the programs running, a new report has found. The Government Accountability Office, the investigative arm of Congress, on Tuesday released the results of its fifth study of 9/11 health programs, concluding that five years after the attacks the government still doesn't have a consistent set of programs _ or a good sense of what ground zero illnesses will cost.

• Man recalls false detention after 9/11 - Soon after the September 11 terror attack in 2001, faces of two youth from Hyderabad were flashed across the world. Mohd Ayub and Javed Azmath were branded terrorists and were detained in the US. Eighteen months later, they returned home because there was no evidence to prove they had any terror links. Javed Azmath and his wife Tasleem say they can understand what Mohd Haneef's family in neighbouring Karnataka is living through. ''My case and Haneef's case are similar. The government framed but could not prove anything in court. It is the same here as well. They have framed but the court has not approved. So they are trying to prolong the case,'' said Javed Azmath, 9/11 accused.

• 9/11 Truth is Truth 101 (An Apple is an Apple) - It is hard to believe, as we watch the actions of the criminals in the government day after ominous day, there are still those who haven’t wrapped their minds around the lie of 9/11. We are watching the end of liberty and the destruction of everything that we have built and believed in and hoped to leave behind for our children and grandchildren. We are watching as the GOP acts and even accelerates their actions, in spite of the will of the people and the very real threat (even with the rigged electronic voting machines) of being, not only driven from power, but being destroyed as a party. And yet, as if immune from the laws, immune from the will of the people, immune from the Congress, immune from world opinion and immune from journalistic oversight; the Cheney/Bush regime expands the disaster in Iraq and is planning to attack Iran.

• 9/11 – Fool me once... - As George Bush tried to say some time ago “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me”. With a great deal of evidence suggesting that the American people were fooled over the 9/11 attack in 2001, and indications that a new attack (equally horrific) might be on the way, these words should be imprinted on our minds. Many leading figures in the government (and military) have been hinting at such an event, and if we are to believe the signs, this could happen in just a matter of weeks. If it does take place, when and where will it occur? In April of this year Dick Cheney said a 9/11 with terrorists using “a nuclear weapon in the middle of one of our own cities” was the greatest threat. But could this be an attempt to distract us from the real location, a carrier in the Persian Gulf, or a chance for him to say “I told you so” later? There are numerous articles on the internet that suggest Bush and Cheney are planning a “staged” attack, so that they can introduce martial law. One story even goes so far as to say that there will be no election in 2008!

• McCain Loses It and Flees After 9/11 Truth Questions: Senator Refuses Demands for a New Investigation, Claims "Additional Information" About 9/11 and Leaves Event Irritated and Angry - Republican presidential candidate John McCain was literally overwhelmed by reporters from WeAreChange.org and Infowars.com seeking 9/11 truth during a campaign stop. McCain, who wrote the forward to Popular Mechanics' Debunking 9/11 Myths, repeatedly told reporters, "I do not support a new investigation" and stated that he believes the "9/11 Commission did a good job."

• Bush Administration Official Thought WTC Towers Were "Charged": Cheney was "surprised" that buildings collapsed, his counsel David Addington thought they were imploded, according to official biography - A senior Bush administration official's first reaction to seeing the twin towers collapse on 9/11 was that the buildings had been deliberately imploded with explosive charges according to an account in Dick Cheney's new official biography, which also reveals that Cheney thought Flight 93 had been shot down after hearing of its demise in Pennsylvania. 

• Attorney For New Black Panther Party: Bush Had 9/11 Foreknowledge: Defends Muslim Congressman's comparison of Bush to Hitler - Appearing on Fox News' Hannity and Colmes yesterday, Malik Shabazz, the attorney for the New Black Panther Party, reiterated that many 9/11 families are taking action against the government and the FAA for at the very least having foreknowledge of the attacks.

• Explosion rocks Manhattan, reviving 9/11 memories - An 83-year-old steam pipe exploded underground in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday, shaking buildings, creating a towering geyser of debris and sending people fleeing in scenes reminiscent of the Sept. 11 attacks. Officials in New York and Washington promptly ruled out terrorism. One person died of cardiac arrest and about 20 others were injured, some seriously, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a news conference.

• Ailing 9/11 workers to sue WTC - Ailing ground zero workers went to court on Tuesday to demand that the company overseeing a $1-billion (about R7-billion) September 11 insurance fund uses it to pay for their health care. Attorneys for the workers argue that federal officials meant for the money in the WTC Captive Insurance Company to be used as compensation for sick workers. The workers have already filed a class-action lawsuit claiming the toxic dust from the World Trade Center site gave them serious, possibly fatal diseases. On Tuesday they sought compensation from the company in charge of money appropriated by Congress to deal with September 11 health-related claims.

• ST911 Scientist to Sue BBC for Public Deception - A British scientist and member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, John A. Blacker MSc IMI (Physical Systems), is planning to sue the BBC for mass public deception via their “9/11: The Conspiracy Files” program, RINF Alternative News can reveal. The program program which aired on 18 February, 2007, promised to offer a thorough examination of the events of 9/11 and answer many of the questions posed by the 9/11 Truth Movement. However, the hour long program failed to investigate the tough questions and ignored hard evidence that points towards a deeper conspiracy, while presenting an unfair and unbalanced view of 9/11 research. Scientist and member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, John A. Blacker, is taking action against this portrayal on the grounds of ‘Total Public Deception’.

• 'New' al Qaeda tape may contain old clip of bin Laden - Osama bin Laden stresses the importance of martyrdom for Muslim causes in a videotape that purportedly contains a 50-second message from the al Qaeda leader. The 40-minute videotape, whose audio was being translated from Arabic by CNN, was intercepted before it was to appear on several Islamist Web sites known for carrying statements from al Qaeda and other radical groups. The videotape, titled "A Special Surprise from As-Sahab. Heaven's Breeze Part I," was made in the last four weeks, but the clips appear to be old, said Octavia Nasr, CNN's senior editor for Arab affairs. There is no indication of where it was shot, and CNN cannot verify its authenticity.

• Firefighters still paying price for 9/11 - A lung specialist from Israel who went to examine firefighters who had been at the World Trade Center on 9/11 found that as many as eight in 10 had some respiratory disorder. Dr. Izbicki Gabriel, a senior physician at the pulmonary institute of Jerusalem's Shaare Zedek Medical Center, was with a team that examined firefighters and found widespread "sarcoid-like" granulomatous pulmonary disease. Their study, which appeared in the prestigious journal Chest, revealed a high incidence - five times more among the same population, compared to the 15 years before the terror attack - of the lung disease sarcoidosis. "Maybe the most important message is that most of the lung damage could have been avoided if the firefighters had worn masks. This is of course also important for Israeli firefighters, policemen, soldiers and others."

• Bush links Al Qaeda in Iraq to 9/11; critics reject connection - In rebuffing calls to bring troops home from Iraq, President George W. Bush employed a stark and ominous defense. "The same folks that are bombing innocent people in Iraq," he said, "were the ones who attacked us in America on September the 11th, and that's why what happens in Iraq matters to the security here at home." It is an argument that Bush has been making with heavy frequency in the past few months, as the challenges to the continuation of the war have grown. On Thursday alone, he referred at least 30 times to Al Qaeda or its presence in Iraq. But his references to Al Qaeda in Iraq, and his assertions that it is the same group that attacked the United States in 2001, have greatly oversimplified the nature of the insurgency in Iraq and its relationship with the Qaeda leadership. Bush's critics say that he has overstated the Qaeda connection in an attempt to exploit the same kinds of post-Sept. 11 emotions that helped him win support for the invasion in the first place.

• Firefighters Rip Giuliani, Call Him 'Urban Legend': New DVD Criticizes Former NYC Mayor, Giuliani's Campaign Calls Video 'Mockumentary' - The International Association of Firefighters has gone on the offensive against "America's Mayor" Rudy Giuliani, releasing a 13-minute video that viciously rips into the former New York mayor, who has been using his leadership demonstrated on September 11th to urge people around the country to support him in his quest to become President of the United States. The video, released early Wednesday evening, is titled "Rudy Giuliani: Urban Legend," and offers testimonials from various members of the organization and family members of firefighters lost in the terror attacks.

• US has spent over $600 billion on wars since 9/11 - The US has spent $610 billion on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and on protecting its bases worldwide since the Sep 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, a report released by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) said. The Bush administration spends on an average $12 billion a month on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the report by the CRS, an independent research agency that provides research and analysis to lawmakers. Ten of the 12 billion dollars was spent for Iraq and nearly two billion for Afghanistan, plus other minor costs. So far Iraq has accounted for $450 billion, and in fiscal year 2007 alone, about $165.8 billion have been spent on Iraq, a rise of 40 percent from last year.

• Real 9/11 Heroes Speak Out Against Rudy: New York City firefighters are out to set the record straight on Rudy Giuliani's 9/11 legacy - It's been nearly six years since the 9/11 attacks and six months since former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani has decided to grace the race for the Republican presidential nomination with his presence. Now unions representing New York's Bravest are popping a tough question. What on Earth did this man do on 9/11 and in its aftermath that was so breathtakingly heroic? More accurately, they are campaigning to expose how Giuliani short-changed and endangered the city's 11,000 firefighters over the course of two terms, and then went on to exploit their heroism during and after the 9/11 attacks for his own political advantage.

• Blair resolved to take out Saddam just HOURS after 9-11 atrocities - TONY Blair decided Saddam Hussein should be toppled within hours of the 9/11 attacks, Alastair Campbell's sensational diaries reveal today. He scrapped a planned speech to the TUC in Brighton as soon as he heard of the assaults on the World Trade Center, and boarded a train back to London. By the end of the journey he had made up his mind it was time to tackle rogue states - including Iraq.

• Minister has to deny linking Bush to 9/11 attack - A French Cabinet minister sought yesterday to play down remarks in which she appeared to say that President Bush may have been behind the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. Christine Boutin, 63, Minister for Housing and Town Planning in President Sarkozy’s Government, said that her comments had been distorted in a video that was circulated on the internet. During an interview with a small French television channel in November, Ms Boutin was asked if the Bush Administration might have been involved in the destruction of the World Trade Centre in New York, and the attack on the Pentagon. “I think it is possible,” she said. Ms Boutin, who is known for her conservative Catholic views, said in the interview that she had been impressed by the strength of opinion on the internet that favoured the notion of a US conspiracy in the 9/11 attacks. “I know that the websites that speak of this problem are websites that have the highest number of visits . . . And I tell myself that this expression of the masses and of the people cannot be without any truth,” she said.

• In France, a senior pol dares to question the 9/11 tale - Today, nearly six years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, does anyone doubt the Bush administration and the mass media's grand narrative about just who was responsible for those shocking, sudden, well-coordinated and super-destructive events? Well, yes. For starters, on the strength of irrefutable evidence, the whole world has rejected George W. Bush, Jr. and Dick Cheney's repeated insinuations - which they used as a excuse to start the U.S.-led Iraq war - that the government of former dictator Saddam Hussein was somehow behind the attacks. That claim didn't square with the evidence that Al-Qaeda was responsible, since the terrorist organization led by Osama bin Laden was not operating in Iraq at the time. In any case, today, still, there are some observers who doubt the established, now-familiar media story about the historic attacks that Team Bush seized upon to launch an aimless "war on terror." Apparently, one of them has landed a high-ranking government job in the cabinet of France's new president, Nicolas Sarkozy.  That Doubting Thomas is Christine Boutin, France's new minister of housing and urban affairs.

• Second UK Hotel Bans 9/11 Hero William Rodriguez - For the second time in less than a month, five times honoured 9/11 hero and last man out of the Twin Towers, William Rodriguez, has been banned from a British hotel. A hotel in Cumbria, the Graythwaite Manor, told William Rodriguez to stay away because of his “political views”. William Rodriguez is currently touring the UK on a mission to expose the truth about the events of 9/11 - but his presentation does not point the finger or make any accusations towards who might have been responsible for the horrific attacks in New York. (See the remaining tour dates here http://www.nineeleven.co.uk) He does however provide a startling first hand account of what happened which differs greatly from the official account, raising many unanswered questions. The banning is a very strange occurrence as William Rodriguez had previously been made very welcome at the hotel, in February of this year he planted a tree at the hotel’s grounds in remembrance of the 9/11 victims.

• Universities face security crackdown post 9/11 - The ever-tightening grip of post-9/11 security has extended beyond the airport and passport office to the university laboratory and construction site. Academic administrators and company safety officers are being pressured to meet stricter guidelines for handling and transporting radioactive materials, which could readily be used in dirty bombs designed to spread terror. It raises the question of how much is too much and whether more regulations will prevent dangerous items from going astray or falling into the wrong hands.

• Giuliani watchers wonder if he will overplay 9/11 card - Rudy Giuliani was just six seconds into his speech when he played his campaign trump card: the memory of the Sept. 11 attacks. "I'll tell you the reason I wear this flag," the former New York City mayor told supporters at a recent rally here, pointing to the American flag pin on his lapel. "Before September 11, I only wore this flag rarely. But I started wearing it right after September 11. I wear it every day now. Each time I wear it, it reminds me of September 11." For Giuliani, the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and his response to them have become his strongest campaign pitch, as the GOP presidential candidate reminds voters again and again of the role he played when terrorists crashed two airliners into the World Trade Center towers, killing nearly 3,000 people.

• 9-11 attacks continue to haunt US health - Almost six years after the terrorist attacks on America, the medical fall-out continues. Thousands of rescue workers, volunteers and residents have experienced a range of illnesses thought to be related to the toxic mix of air at the site of ground zero. Meanwhile a series of congressional hearings are investigating the way New York authorities handled the clean-up.

• Giuliani Camp Hits Back At NYC Firefighters For 9-11 Criticism - Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign yesterday slammed the city's fire-union head for vowing to derail his candidacy, saying the former mayor respects firefighters and showed it when he was in City Hall. "Rudy Giuliani has tremendous respect for firefighters and has proven that time and time again, including reopening firehouses that had been closed by previous mayors and allocating millions of dollars for life-saving equipment," said Giuliani senior adviser Anthony Carbonetti.

• The toxic fallout of the Sept. 11 attacks - It is clear that Christie Whitman and other officials didn’t do nearly enough to warn people of the pollution danger after the collapse of the World Trade Center. And the government still isn’t doing enough to protect people in Lower Manhattan from 9/11’s toxic legacy. Those conclusions are not new. But their truth was poignantly highlighted at a lengthy congressional hearing on the toxic fallout of the Sept. 11 attacks. At one point, Rep. Bill Pascrell, a New Jersey Democrat, told Whitman, the Environmental Protection Agency administrator at the time of the attacks, that she should read the reports from Mt. Sinai Medical Center and elsewhere on the health fallout from the collapse of the Twin Towers.

• Two judges quit Project Censored to protest 9/11 story - Chances are, the resignation of two judges from Project Censored won’t be included in the organization’s next list of overlooked news stories. But rest assured — there’s no conspiracy afoot. Judges Robert Jensen, a journalism professor, and Norman Solomon, a syndicated columnist, severed their ties with the national media watchdog group over its decision last year to highlight the controversial theories of physics professor Steven Jones, a critic of the 9/11 Commission findings. Jones hypothesizes that the Sept. 11, 2001, collapse of the World Trade Center towers was the result of controlled detonation of military-grade explosives rather than fires caused by two passenger jets that slammed into the buildings. His views, which are available online at Scholars for 9/11 Truth & Justice (stj911.org), have been largely passed over or dismissed by mainstream news outlets.

• In 9/11 Truth Movement, Canada stands with us - After watching one of the many DVDs exposing the myth of 9/11 and attending 9/11 truth conferences in Los Angeles and Chicago, Joe Hawkins made a life-altering decision. He gave up his lucrative practice as a chiropractor to launch a full-time crusade to enlighten his entire Midwestern city. In short order, he started his own radio program, hosted three well-attended events, coaxed semi-respectful local media coverage, and went around town sliding copies of Loose Change under professors’ doors and sticking them in car windshields. Now he leads workshops sharing activism strategies he hopes will take hold throughout the country. Canada, that is. This inspiring model of urging your neighbors to awaken to what really happened on 9/11 emerged not from Minneapolis or Ann Arbor but from Winnipeg, Manitoba. And Joe Hawkins hopes to light the torch in Montreal, Ottawa, Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, and Thunder Bay, although if anyone south of the border wants to catch the spark, that’s fine with him.

• Norman Mineta Confirms That Dick Cheney Ordered Stand Down on 9/11: Former Transportation Secretary Disputes 9/11 Commission Report Timetable for Dick Cheney and Reveals Lynn Cheney Was Also in PEOC Bunker Before Attack - Former Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta answered questions from members of 9/11 Truth Seattle.org about his testimony before the 9/11 Commission report. Mineta says Vice President Cheney was "absolutely" already there when he arrived at approximately 9:25 a.m. in the PEOC (Presidential Emergency Operations Center) bunker on the morning of 9/11. Mineta seemed shocked to learn that the 9/11 Commission Report claimed Cheney had not arrived there until 9:58-- after the Pentagon had been hit, a report that Mineta definitively contradicted.

• Giuliani Acknowledged Explosions on 9/11, Didn't Believe They Were 'Gas Related' - This clip is from Fox News on September 11, 2001, and is from a Press Conference given by Mayor Giuliani. In the clip, Mayor Giuliani states that he does not believe gas is responsible for the explosions being reported, and emphasizes that the gas has been turned off.

• US press misrepresented Pakistan after 9/11: study - A new study released here says that top American newspapers, more than five years after the 9/11 attacks, continue to help obfuscate the real nature of events in the post-9/11 era by employing misleading terms and phraseology. The study, titled “The ‘Good’ Muslims: US Newspaper Coverage of Pakistan,” according to Susan Moeller writing for YaleGlobal, an online site, has found patterns of coverage in major US newspapers in the year following September 11, 2001, and five years later in 2006 that may still contribute to public confusion over the perception of the global terrorist risk. When reporters from non-American news outlets write about the Bush administration’s “War on Terror,” they typically place the words in quotation marks to indicate a distance from the White House’s political rhetoric. But most mainstream media in the US use the phrase as generically as the words World War II or the Vietnam War, she points out.

• Two-in-Five Americans Link Hussein and 9/11 - More adults in the United States think Saddam Hussein had a hand in the 9/11 attacks, according to a poll by Princeton Survey Research Associates released by Newsweek. 41 per cent of respondents think Hussein’s regime in Iraq was directly involved in planning, financing, or carrying out the terrorist actions, up four points in three years.

• 9/11 and the British Broadcasting Conspiracy - A new British documentary has been released focusing on the BBC’s selective and distorted coverage of the events of 9/11. ‘911 and the British Broadcasting Conspiracy’ features ex-MI5 officer David Shayler and was produced by Adrian Connock, who was also responsible for the ‘Mind the Gap’ documentary that exposed the false flag terrorist attacks of 7/7/05. Special attention has been paid to the BBC’s ‘Conspiracy Files’ programme which aired on BBC 2, February 18th 2007 and omitted hardcore evidence proving 9/11 was an inside job. ‘911 and the British Broadcasting Conspiracy’ demolishes the weak attempt by the BBC to cover up the truth behind 9/11 and exposes their foreknowledge of the collapse of WTC building 7, when they reported the event 20 minutes before the building came down. The documentary is online to watch for free at http://bbc5.tv and is highly recommended.   (RELATED: See our affiliated archive on the BBC hit-piece 'The Conspiracy Files' here)

• Number of Americans who believe Saddam-9/11 tie rises to 41 percent - A new Newsweek poll out this weekend exposed "gaps" in America's knowledge of history and current events. Perhaps most alarmingly, 41% of Americans answered 'Yes' to the question "Do you think Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq was directly involved in planning, financing, or carrying out the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001?" That total is actually up 5 points since September 2004. Further, a majority of people couldn't identify Saudia Arabia as the country of origin of most of the 9/11 hijackers, even given the question in multiple choice format. 20% answered Iraq, while 14% believed the hijackers came from Iran.

• Whitman again faces questions on post-9/11 air: Ex-EPA chief to testify before House panel on U.S. response to the danger - Ever since she stood on Canal Street just north of Ground Zero on Sept. 13, 2001, and pronounced the air in Lower Manhattan safe to breathe, then-Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Christie Whitman has been caught in the fallout. Whitman has been attacked by environmentalists and sued by residents of Lower Manhattan who say they are suffering the effects of pollutants released into the air by the collapse of the World Trade Center. She has been scolded by a federal judge and criticized by the EPA's own inspector general.

• 9/11 Victims’ Mother: Giuliani is Part of the Problem - Growing criticism of Rudy Giuliani is reaching breaking point with even more victims’ families speaking out against his ill gotten gains from the tragic events of 9/11 including his continuous profiteering, his repeated lying and complete “incompetence”. Sally Regenhard, whose fire-fighter son was among the 343 FDNY killed during the false flag terrorist attacks in New York, said: “If Rudolph Giuliani was running on anything but 9/11, I would not speak out, If he ran on cleaning up Times Square, getting rid of squeegee men, lowering crime - that’s indisputable.

• Judge criticizes Bush on wiretaps - A federal judge who used to authorize wiretaps in terrorist and espionage cases criticized President Bush's decision to order warrantless surveillance after the Sept. 11 attacks. Royce Lamberth, a district court judge in Washington, said Saturday it was proper for executive branch agencies to conduct such surveillance. "But what we have found in the history of our country is that you can't trust the executive," he said at the American Library Association's convention. "We have to understand you can fight the war (on terrorism) and lose everything if you have no civil liberties left when you get through fighting the war," said Lamberth, who was appointed by President Reagan.

• 9/11 responders in 'Sicko' investigated - After suffering more than five years of health problems related to his volunteer work at Ground Zero, Maywood resident Bill Maher felt he had nothing to lose joining documentarian Michael Moore on a sneak trip to Cuba for medical treatment, captured on film in the new movie "Sicko." Maher knew he was taking a risk journeying to the communist country with the controversial director, but he didn't think he was breaking any laws. He was surprised to learn on Thursday, however, that he faces criminal charges for violating travel restrictions.  He and two other 9/11 responders featured in the picture are under investigation by the Treasury Department, which is building a case against Moore. "We were traveling for journalistic purposes," said Maher, 54. "I never even thought about any kind of legal restrictions." He believes the government is pursuing the case for political reasons, persecuting Moore because of his leftist views.

• U.S. Government Targetting Sick 9/11 Workers - The U.S. government has yet again shown their complete lack of human compassion as they try to prevent three ground zero workers from getting the treatment they need for pulmonary diseases, liver and kidney problems - a result from tireless efforts to rescue victims of the attacks in New York on 9/11. Three workers were denied treatment in the U.S. as insurance companies refused to pay for coverage.

• New 9/11 Study Has Direct Links To Government, Pentagon Black Ops: "Independent" study financed by Feds - A newly released Purdue University animation showing how fire caused the collapse of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11 claims to be independent but in reality has been federally funded and was conducted by individuals with direct links to the Pentagon and the White House. Earlier this week we covered the news that the new study roughly correlates with the findings of the 2005 National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) report and supports the official line that the airplanes stripped away crucial fireproofing material and that the weakened towers collapsed under their own weight.

• Osama may have arranged family’s US exit: FBI - Al Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden might have chartered a plane that carried his family members and Saudi nationals out of the United States after the September 11 attacks, said FBI documents released on Wednesday. The papers, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, were made public by Judicial Watch, a Washington-based group that investigates government corruption. One FBI document referred to a Ryan Air 727 airplane that departed Los Angeles International Airport on September 19, 2001, and was said to have carried Saudi nationals out of the United States. “The plane was chartered either by the Saudi Arabian royal family or Osama Bin Laden,” according to the document, which was among 224 pages posted online. The flight made stops at Orlando, Washington DC as well as Boston and eventually left its passengers in Paris the following day.

• New Study Props Up Official 9/11 Conspiracy Theory: Does not refute a single issue the 9/11 truth movement has raised - A new study into the collapse of the World Trade Center towers has been released that correlates with the findings of the 2005 National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) report and supports the theory that intense fires weakened the structure and initiated "global collapse". Much like the NIST report however, it is fatally flawed.

• 9/11 Bombshell: WTC7 Security Official Details Explosions Inside Building: Says bombs were going off in 7 before either tower collpased - The Alex Jones show today welcomed Loose Change creators Dylan Avery and Jason Burmas to discuss an exclusive interview they have conducted with an individual with high level security clearance who was inside the Office of Emergency Management in World Trade Center 7 and has descibed and detailed explosions inside the building prior to the collapse of any of the buildings at ground zero on 9/11. The interview, to be featured in the forthcoming Final Cut of Loose Change is currently under wraps but the creators have allowed some details to leak purely to protect themselves and the individual involved who has asked to remain anonymous until the film is released.

• Finally: Michael Moore embraces 9/11 Truth - Lightly, of course. The full Truther bear hug asserts that 9/11 was an inside job; Moore’s practicing the “mainstream” version, which confines itself to “just asking questions.” It’s the spirit of free inquiry, man. Asking questions — who could be against that?

• Michael Moore: 9/11 Could Be Inside Job: Discusses Explosions in Buildings, Demands '100 Angles' of Pentagon Video, and Calls for a New Investigation-- "They Haven't Even Told Us Half the Truth." - Academy Award winner Michael Moore answered questions on 9/11 truth during a sneak peak of his new documentary, SICKO, in New York. Our reporters were initially avoided by Moore, but he subsequently decided to approach We Are Change.org/ Infowars.com reporters for a discussion. Moore brought up his lingering questions on 9/11, which are a clear departure from the 'government negligence' picture he painted in his film Fahrenheit 9/11, released some three years ago. Moore told reporters, "I've had a number of firefighters tell me over the years and since Fahrenheit 9/11 that they heard these explosions-- that they believe there's MUCH more to the story than we've been told. I don't think the official investigations have told us the complete truth-- they haven't even told us half the truth."

• Michael Moore Has Serious Questions About 9/11: Says firefighters approached him, talked of explosions, demands new investigation and release of Pentagon videos - Michael Moore went on record this week to tell Infowars.com and WeAreChange.org reporters that three years after the release of his film Fahrenheit 9/11 he now has many more questions about 9/11 and does not believe the public have been told "half the truth" about what really happened. At an event to preview his upcoming film SICKO, Moore told our reporters that many firefighters have since approached him and told him the same story about hearing explosions going off inside the buildings prior to their collapse.

• 9/11 widows demand release of CIA's Inspector General report - A group composed of widows of 9/11 victims are demanding the release of a key CIA report. "The report, prepared by the CIA's inspector general, is the only major 9/11 government review that has still not been made publicly available," Michael Isikoff reported in January. "When it was completed in August 2005, Newsweek and other publications reported that it contained sharp criticisms of former CIA director George Tenet and other top agency officials for failing to address the threat posed by Al Qaeda, as well as other mistakes that might have prevented the attacks." In a statement obtained by RAW STORY, September 11th Advocates Patty Casazza, Monica Gabrielle, Mindy Kleinberg, and Lorie Van Auken write, "Almost six years have passed since the attacks of September 11, 2001, yet critical information continues to be withheld from the American public regarding the attacks.

• Thompson Links Reid To 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists, Claims He Is ‘Encouraging Our Enemies’ - In his latest ABC News podcast, former senator Fred Thompson suggests that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) criticized outgoing Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Peter Pace last week to appeal to “fringe” anti-American elements “who think the 9/11 attacks were an inside job.” Reid “made his statement about General Pace on a conference call with fringe elements of the blogosphere who think we’re the bad guys,” Thompson says. “Whether he means to or not, he’s encouraging our enemies to believe that they are winning the critical war of will.” Thompson also compares 9/11 conspiracy theories to claims that the war in Iraq was a “sinister Republican plot.” He says, “Reid has led the attack on the administration, with Nancy Pelosi, charging it lied and tricked America into supporting the war.” Thompson claims that “multiple hearings and investigations into pre-war intelligence findings” have “debunked this paranoid myth.”

• Loose Change Crew To Broadcast Explosive Interview - Tomorrow (Tuesday) on LTW Radio we're gonna broadcast clips from an interview we conducted last Tuesday before we headed to Bonnaroo. Btw, many many thanks to Travis of SCI for hooking us up. You've seen him before, in a news interview widely disseminated on the web, but you've never heard from him since. Until now. He was working in WTC7 on 9/11. And he saw and experienced things that drive a giant nail through the coffin of the official story.

• PBA Sues to Help Boost "9/11 Air Victim" - One of New York City's largest police unions has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a 36-year-old officer suffering from a disease he claims he developed while working at the World Trade Center site after the devastation of 9/11. The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association (PBA), in a civil lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, states the Officer was diagnosed with sarcoidosis in March 2004, but that the NYPD refused to declare him line-of-duty injuries. The Officer worked 111 hours at the Ground Zero hot zone. Sarcoidosis is a multi-system inflammatory disease that commonly involves the lungs. The PBA alleges, as a result of the Police Department's decision, the Officer was made responsible for the medical bills he incurred that would have otherwise been covered under line-of-duty status.

• Thousands of FDNY Workers Receive Medical Care for 9/11 Injuries - About 5,000 active and retired FDNY employees are receiving medical treatment for injuries and illnesses connected to the World Trade Center attacks, according to a Fire Department document. "That is an absolutely staggering number, and it's a number that speaks volumes," said Andrew Carboy, a lawyer who represents more than 200 firefighters in a negligence suit against the city. "That's half of what the force was on 9/11."

• 9/11 survivor calls for new inquiry - CONSPIRACY theorists marched through Ipswich town centre campaigning for an investigation into the 9/11 terror attacks. Around 15 people from the Ipswich Truth Campaign took part in the march on Saturday where they denounced the official story of the 2001 atrocity as a “pack of lies”. The event was also designed to raise awareness of a talk being given in Ipswich by William Rodriguez, a janitor working at the World Trade Centre on September 11 who was later decorated for his heroism in rescuing survivors. Mr Rodriguez claims he heard an explosion prior to the plane striking the North Tower and believes it was in fact the US government which was behind the attacks. 

• Hotel Bans 9/11 Hero - Five times honoured hero and last man out of the Twin Towers, William Rodriguez, was scheduled to speak in Peterborough, UK, until event organisers were forced to cancel. William Rodriguez is currently embarking on a European tour, covering much of the UK. The event venue in Peterborough, the Bull Hotel, has been inundated with telephone calls and emails requesting an explanation from annoyed members of the public, as it is completely unacceptable to ban a real hero who saved hundreds of lives during the horrific events of 9/11.

• US officials can be sued in Sept 11 abuse case - A Pakistani man who says he was abused in detention after the Sept. 11 attacks can name the FBI director and a former U.S. attorney general in his lawsuit against the government, an appeals court ruled on Thursday. Javaid Iqbal, a Muslim, was held for more than a year at a Brooklyn detention center after the Sept. 11 attacks. He, along with hundreds of Muslims and Arabs sued the U.S. government, claiming they were abused and held for no legitimate reason. Iqbal says he was subjected to strip searches, beaten, dragged across the floor and that the lights in his cell were kept on 24 hours a day.

• 9/11 Truth Group Protest At Parliament - As part of the 11th of Every Month Action Campaign, a London 911 Truth group held a protest at Parliament Square. Among the protesters, last man out of the Twin Towers and five times honoured hero, William Rodriguez with ex MI5 officer and co-chair of the 911 Truth Campaign (Britain & Ireland), Annie Machon. The protesters apparently received a good reception from the general public and the group hopes to double its numbers by next month, when another event will take place, again on the 11th.

• 9/11 hero coming to East Lancs - A HERO who pulled 15 people from the World Trade Centre during the 9/11 terrorist attacks on New York is to visit Burnley. William Rodriguez is to give a talk at Wesleyan House, Clough Street, in an event organised by pressure group the West Yorkshire Truth Campaign. Mr Rodriguez worked as a janitor at the trade centre for 19 years. On September 11, 2001, he first pulled 15 people to safety. Then, as he was the only person with a master key, he bravely led firefighters up the stairwells of the north tower, unlocking doors to help hundreds of people escape. It was said that Mr Rodigruez was the last man out of the doomed building before its collapse. Event organiser, Anthony Beckett, said: "This is an astounding chance to hear first hand the testimony of a witness to 9/11.

• 9/11 families outraged at insurance company's 'evil eyes' ad - Fox News reported on Monday that "a number of 9/11 families are upset" by an insurance company ad being run in the New York subways. The ad shows the phrases "there's another side of risk...welcome to the upside...risk makes the world go round" superimposed over a face whose eyes show two small vertical reflections of the photographer's lights. One 9/11 family member took the reflections as a deliberate image of the twin towers, calling it "irresponsible and despicable." However, the insurance company running the ad, which "lost 298 employees on 9/11," denies that the image was intentional.

• Cantor Fitzgerald & 9/11 victims want nothing to do with Giuliani: The Man Who Stole 9/11 - GOP frontrunner Rudy Giuliani is hoping to ride his 9/11 experience straight into the White House. But while "America's Mayor" is playing well in New Hampshire, New Yorkers directly impacted by the World Trade Center tragedy are less convinced. In a recent New York Daily News poll, New Yorkers said they favor current mayor Michael Bloomberg, who hasn't even declared his candidacy, over "America's Mayor" by almost 2 to 1. Howard Lutnick, the CEO of money management firm Cantor Fitzgerald who lost 658 of his employees on 9/11, has given Sen. Hillary Clinton's (D-NY) presidential campaign $4,600 of his own money over the last two months and has not given the Giuliani campaign a dime. Diny Lajamian, who as Cantor's human resources director worked with families of deceased employees and helped rebuild the company's staff, says she's disgusted by Giuliani's use of 9/11 as a political prop. "It's absolutely disgraceful. He's just a sleazebag," Lajamian says. "I think now the families feel like he left them high and dry."

• Ex-spy thinks whole story about 9/ 11 hasn’t been told: Silverton resident is a novelist now - In his work boots, nylon pants and cotton sweat shirt, Robert Baer blends in to this little mountain town. You wouldn’t guess that he once helped engineer a failed coup against Saddam Hussein, that he speaks Arabic and Farsi, that he once prowled the lawless valleys of Lebanon in service to the Central Intelligence Agency, or that George Clooney played him in the movie “Syriana.” Only his bookshelves, packed with volumes about Iraq and the Middle East, give any clue to Baer’s background. A book about the Russian mafia sits next to his chair. In an interview from that chair, Baer talked about messes in Washington and Iraq, unexplored leads in Iran, and the “curious” town of Silverton. He has more firsthand experience with terrorists than almost any American, and he is convinced the full story of the Sept. 11 attacks has never been told.

• Cancer looms as 'third wave' of 9/11 illnesses - The head of the largest program tracking the health of World Trade Centre site workers says several have developed rare blood cell cancers, raising fears cancer will become a "third wave" of illnesses among those exposed to toxic dust after September 11, 2001. Robin Herbert, co-director of the World Trade Centre Medical Monitoring Program at Mount Sinai Medical Centre, said researchers who have screened 20,000 of the estimated 40,000 ground zero workers are "most concerned" about lymphatic and blood cancer cases. "We're worried about a third wave, which is the possibility of cancer down the road," Dr Herbert said in an audiotaped interview posted on the New England Journal of Medicine's website.

• Police Union Sues City Seeking Compensation For 9/11 Responder - The Police Benevolent Association filed a lawsuit Friday to force the city to pay the medical bills of an officer who says he got sick from working at the World Trade Center site after the September 11th terror attacks. The PBA filed the suit on behalf of 36-year-old Officer Christopher Hynes who claims he inhaled some 400 lethal toxins, shards of shards, and pulverized concrete at the site. He says he was never given a proper respiratory apparatus and was later diagnosed with sarcoidosis. He remains on restricted duty.

• Half of CIA work force is new since 9/11, director says - The CIA has gotten younger and is taking “more operational risk” since the September 2001 attacks, agency Director Michael Hayden told USA Today on Wednesday. An unprecedented hiring boom, Hayden said, has meant nearly half of the CIA work force is new since 9/11. That has produced a spy agency with “more language skills and cultural diversity” and a need to “get rolled out quickly.”

• Sheen may still narrate 9/11 conspiracy documentary - Golden Globe Award winner Charlie Sheen has slammed media reports that suggest that he may not narrate controversial documentary 'Loose Change', which presents evidence for a 9/11 controversy theory. Issuing a statement through his publicist Stan Rosenfield, the actor claimed that he still wanted the truth about 9/11 exposed. "The suspicious fact that certain relevant testimonies were not included in the Keen Commission's final report, discredits the majority of their findings," TMZ quoted the statement as saying.

• 9/11 activist slams 'absurdity' of Fox report - William Rodriguez, a former World Trade Center maintenance worker who became a 9/11 activist after helping rescue fifteen of his co-workers, penned a letter which attacks Fox News for rumormongering about O'Donnell's firing. "Fox news came out today with the rumor that Rosie O'Donnell was fired because she mentioned my story to a live audience of The View that was recorded by a spectator and posted on the Internet," Rodriguez wrote in a letter obtained by RAW STORY. "The absurdity of their comments and their lack of investigative skills to even research that what she was talking about, makes Fox look like always, a far right demagogic network with no desire to look on the real evidence of 9/11. They finished by attacking the messenger like always."

• WNBC catches Giuliani getting 'tripped up' by 9/11 activist - It appears that Giuliani has been caught in a lie about 9/11. If he was warned about the WTC coming down that morning when he was not able to use the bunker in WTC 7, then why weren't others warned as well and why didn't the NYPD and the NYFD have interoperable radios that worked. The nation must think again about the image presented of "America's Mayor" and review this man's real record on, before and after 9/11. This man is no 9/11 hero. I pray the the families of 9/11 and courageous members of the NYPD and NYFD will stand up and challenge this faux hero and set the record straight.

• What part of "Rosie was not fired" don't you understand? - I'm not going to detail one more Faux debate over Rosie O'Donnell, but this snippet exemplifies a FOX tactic so beautifully I just have to share. As I noted this morning, Barbara Walters stated in no uncertain terms that Rosie O'Donnell's departure from The View was solely O'Donnell's decision, The View is sad to see her go and wishes she could have/would have stayed on, appreciates all she's done in her year there, and welcomes her back to visit as often as she wants. John Gibson showed clips from her announcement at the top of The Big Story today 5/29/07.

• New Evidence Exposes Lethal Consequence of Rudy Giuliani's Poor 9/11 Decisions - After Rudy Giuliani boasted yesterday that he took "a city that was a health hazard and turned it into one of America's safest big cities," new evidence reported today shows that Giuliani's poor decisions in the aftermath of 9/11, in fact, led to a severe health hazard. According to The New York Times, the dust from the destruction of the World Trade Center for the first time has been definitively linked to a death, a finding which supports federal lawsuits filed against the city by firefighters and other Ground Zero recovery workers.

• Donald Rumsfeld on 9/11: An enemy within - What was Rumsfeld doing on 9/11? He deserted his post. He disappeared. The country was under attack. Where was the guy who controls America’s defense? Out of touch! --A senior White House official

• Giuliani Confronted By 9/11 Truthers, Lies About WTC Collapse: Former New York Mayor flip-flops for third time on foreknowledge of tower's implosion - 9/11 truthers are making headlines again today after confronting Rudy Giuliani in New York on his foreknowledge of the collapse of the twin towers. Amazingly, just weeks after saying the opposite, Giuliani now claims he had no idea the towers were going to fall.

• 9/11 fireman’s Scottsdale killing mystery - Firefighter Salvatore Princiotta worked around the clock at the World Trade Center site after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks: Family members say he helped put out fires, led injured people out of the area, and spent a week digging through the smoking rubble for his uncle, a deputy fire chief. Princiotta eventually got sick with lung problems, retired from the fire department and recently moved to Arizona, hoping the abundance of sun and fresh air would be just what his ailing body needed. But on May 14 — five years to the day after the remains of his uncle, Chief Raymond Downey, were found at ground zero — Princiotta was found dead in his Scottsdale apartment. Police said there were bullet wounds in his decomposing body. Police are saying little about the suspect and nothing about why Princiotta was slain, only adding to the mystery surrounding the former firefighter’s final days.

• Rosie Speaks To The View Audience Members About 9/11 - Rosie O'Donnell educates the audience members of The View between tapings about the basement bombs that exploded in the WTC before the first plane hit, as well as what happened to WTC 7: -

• City must do more to probe 9/11 dust deaths, say pols - Several lawmakers are demanding City Hall conduct a massive review to determine whether toxic dust at Ground Zero that killed lawyer Felicia Dunn-Jones felled other people who fled the terrorist attack. They made their demand yesterday in the wake of the medical examiner's decision to declare Dunn-Jones, a civil rights attorney from Staten Island who died five months after 9/11, the 2,750th victim of the attack. The decision - the first time the city has tied a death to the toxic dust - led the families of others who died after contact with the dust to demand they be included on the official list of victims and the memorial.

• Police: 9/11 firefighter was murdered - Like hundreds of his fellow firefighters, Sal Princiotta ran to the rescue when terrorists attacked the World Trade Center on 9/11. Months later, he was one of five men who rode bikes from New York to Pasadena, Calif., in a salute to those who lost their lives that day. Among the dead was his uncle, legendary New York City firefighter and rescue expert Dep. Chief Ray Downey. His family, still aching from Downey's death, is reeling again, with the loss of Princiotta, 43, who was found dead in his Scottsdale, Ariz., home on May 14. His family initially believed he died from respiratory problems that had plagued him since 9/11, but officials later ruled his death a homicide. The cause of death has not been released.

• Google Video Caught Censoring Loose Change?: Online version of 9/11 film not featured in top 100 despite still having huge viewing figures - Google video appears to be censoring the online version of Loose Change as it is not appearing in the top 100 despite having many more views than most other videos in the top 10.

• 'Loose Change 9/11' heading for UK cinemas - Revolver have acquired the rights to the hugely successful online film about the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Online film phenomenon 'Loose Change 9/11' has been picked up for theatrical release in the UK. The controversial documentary, which centres on the September 11 terrorist attacks and the failure of both the US government and the media to answer the questions surrounding the tragedy, is one of the most downloaded films in internet history. It was also the subject of BBC documentary '9/11: The Conspiracy Files' and was screened in London as part of Time Out's 'My Favourite Film' season last year. Revolver has picked up the rights to 'Loose Change (Final Cut)' and will release the film on the anniversary of 9/11.

• U.S. military aid to foreign countries up 50 percent since 9/11 - U.S. military aid to foreign countries has increased by 50 percent since the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001, a new study released Wednesday showed. The study, released by the Center for Public Integrity, said the top beneficiary is Pakistan, a key U.S. ally in the Afghan war and the campaign against al-Qaida. Pakistan rocketed from receiving 9 million U.S. dollars in military aid in the three years prior to Sept. 11 to receiving 4.2 billion dollars in the three years after the terrorist attacks, going from 56th on the list of U.S. military aid receivers to No. 3. Israel and Egypt retained their positions on the list at first and second. Jordan retained its fourth place on the list and Afghanistan moved from 64th place to fifth.

• Deadline approaches for 9/11 workers to claim workers compensation benefits - First responders and rescue workers who helped with the recovery, demolition and cleanup in New York City after the 9/11 attacks are covered under a special workers' compensation statute. But there's an important catch. The deadline to register for workers' compensation benefits is approaching, as this fact sheet from the New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health explains. Many people who were injured while working at the Word Trade Center towers and other sites in New York City already are receiving workers compensation' benefits for their injuries.

• In reversal, New York adds 9/11 death from WTC dust to death toll - The family of a woman who died of lung disease five months after Sept. 11 had asked that the city's medical examiner add her name to the death toll last year. Chief Medical Examiner Charles Hirsch wrote back at the time that his office could not link her death to the exposure "with certainty beyond a reasonable doubt." That changed on Wednesday, when Felicia Dunn-Jones was added to the medical examiner's list of attack victims, marking the first time the city has officially linked a death to the toxic dust caused by the World Trade Center's collapse. The 42-year-old attorney was caught in the dust cloud while fleeing the collapsing towers on Sept. 11, 2001, and died of sarcoidosis, a disease that causes inflammation and scarring in the lungs, on Feb. 10, 2002.

• Body ID'd as 9/11 firefighter; foul play suspected - A 43-year-old man found dead in a Scottsdale apartment last week was a New York City firefighter who survived 9/11. Salvatore J. Princiotta, 43, was found dead May 14 in his condominium near Raintree Drive and Thompson Peak Parkway. A death notice published in Newsday on May 18 said Princiotta died "as a result of post 9/11 lung complications." But Scottsdale police on Tuesday said they are investigating the death as a homicide. Clark told 12 News that investigators were aware of Princiotta's health condition.

• 9/11 TRUTH ACTIVISM: Where to go next - Dear 9/11 Activists, You have taken to the streets, you have made the DVDs, you have been to the conferences, you have heard the testimony, you have made the calls, you have borne the brunt of criticism, (some of it deserved, some of it contrived to demoralize you), you have read the books, (the official and alternative theories), and you have decided where to cast your lot. And, you have decided to act! Ok, now what? Now is the time to focus your energy like a laser beam. Now is the time to inject yourself into the political debate in this country, and by proxy, to inject discourse about 9/11 into the living rooms of America.

• NY Times Attempts To Debunk 9/11 Truth; Fails Miserably: More mainstream coverage, more ignorance of the facts - In a report detailing Rosie O'Donnell's confirmed plans to have 9/11 truthers debate the attacks on The View before she leaves in June, The New York Times has responded by penning an extremely poor attack piece which cites previous shoddy debunking efforts while completely ignoring key evidence often referred to by the many scientific experts, ex government officials, whistleblowers and truthers in general that have declared the event an inside job. Skipping over the fact that some guys in a cave in Afghanistan were able to coordinate a total stand down of US air defenses, and completely ignoring the mountains of evidence of prior knowledge, the Times makes four main points in an effort to debunk solely the controlled demolition aspect of the 9/11 truth movement's assertions.

• Whitman Will Testify About 9/11 Air If Congress Insists - Former NJ Governor and onetime EPA head in the Bush administration, Christine Todd Whitman, initially refused to appear before Congress to testify about the agency's post-9/11 assurances that air quality was safe in downtown Manhattan. A day later, she changed her mind and now says that she'll testify before a committee if its members insist upon it. "I am extremely proud of the EPA's work in response to the terrorist attacks on our nation on Sept. 11, 2001. The men and women of the EPA were -- and are -- dedicated to protecting the health of the American public and I will be pleased to answer any questions the subcommittee might have about their efforts during my tenure as director of the agency," Whitman wrote Nadler.

• Loose Change Creators on The View May 24th - According to a release from ABC, Korey Rowe and Dylan Avery, creators of the 9/11 conspiracy documentary Loose Change will appear on the May 24th show. Also listed is William Rodriguez, who was a janitor at the North Tower of the World Trade Center, who has since become part of the 9/11 truth movement. The only other guests listed for that date are the winners of Dancing With the Stars, so it appears that the show will not have representatives from both sides of the topic. Rosie O’Donnell has said before that we have been hearing the other side for years, so maybe the show will only cover the topic from one angle. However, since the show line-up often goes through changes before the show is taped, it is possible that they might be adding additional guests. It is also possible that they might have the other side in another segment on a different day.   (RELATED: You can view Loose Change - 2nd Edition in our online film room)

• Rudy Giuliani v. Ron Paul, and Reality - Rudy Giuliani made clear in Tuesday night's Republican presidential debate that he is not ready to let the facts get in the way of his approach to foreign policy. The most heated moment in the debate, which aired live on the conservative Fox News network, came when the former New York mayor and current GOP front-runner angrily refused to entertain a serious discussion about the role that actions taken by the United States prior to the September 11, 2OO1, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon may have played in inspiring or encouraging those attacks.

• Ron Paul correctly labels 9/11 a blow-back - In the Republican debates that were broadcasted by Fox News, the clear winner as far as I am concerned is none other than Congressman Ron Paul of Texas. You may ask why. It is when he used the term ‘blow-back’ as the reason we were attacked on 9/11. What that shows me is that he has been paying attention unlike Rudy Giuliani who has no foreign policy experience to speak of. Instead of brushing up on foreign policy he has been busy making speeches in which last year he made $9 million dollars. It was only after digging into this blow-back affect that it changed my mind in relation to terrorist attacks that befell us on 9/11. Yes, I did once believe in these conspiracy theories, but chose to educate myself instead of following the pack.

• 9/11 Toxic Dust: Official Who Knowingly Lied Refuses To Testify: Whitman in the frame to take the fall for Guiliani, Rice and The White House - The former head of the Environmental Protection Agency, who knowingly lied and signed off on falsified scientific research on the toxicity of the air in the aftermath of 9/11, has refused a request by Rep. Jerrold Nadler that she testify before a congressional hearing on the federal government's response to be tabled later this month. The New York Sun today reported: Christine Todd Whitman, the EPA administrator at the time, has declined an invitation to appear before a House subcommittee that Mr. Nadler chairs, an aide to the congressman said yesterday. Mr. Nadler, whose district includes ground zero, is expected to ask Ms. Whitman again before considering whether to seek to compel her testimony with a subpoena, the aide, speaking on condition of anonymity, said.

• Dedicated - I Luke Rudkowski never made a film in my life, I sat in front of a computer at my local public access station BCAT with no knowledge of film making. Through countless hours of trial and error I was able to make this film. This film is not perfect but I did my best and that is what matters. Half-way through making this film on 1/29/07 I lost one of my best friends Dan Wallace to whom this film is dedicated to, I could not stop crying making this film. I spent whatever money I had in my pockets to make this film and for a 20 year old unemployed college student that’s not much. It also does not help that all funding for NY911Truth was confiscated by one individual. If you like what you see and want to support these actions donate $12.00 or more at www.WeAreChange.org and you’ll receive a high quality DVD version of the film.

• Confirmed: 9/11 Truthers To Appear On The View: Yesterday's report validated by Rosie's blog entry - Confirming our report yesterday, Rosie O'Donnell has validated via her blog that prominent 9/11 truthers are set to appear on The View and educate an audience of around 30 million on the controlled demolition of the twin towers and WTC 7. We reported weeks ago that 9/11 film makers as well as experts on the controlled demolition hypothesis would feature on the ABC show and those tapings are now imminent.

• Claim: Silverstein Warned Not To Come To Work On 9/11: 9/11 truth activist says security guards spilled beans, while one gets fired for calling in a false bomb threat to frame demonstrators - New York 9/11 truth activist Luke Rudkowski claims WTC complex owner Larry Silverstein and his daughter got a warning on the morning of 9/11 not to come to work that day - his source? - Silverstein's own security guards. Rudkowski and his protest group We Are Change protested Silverstein outside the new WTC 7 building last month and were confronted by Silverstein's security entourage who proceeded to harass the group before calling in a fake bomb threat to the NYPD in an attempt to have the demonstrators arrested.

• New Footage Re-Ignites BBC Building 7 Controversy: Reporter's audio feed interrupted again as she discusses WTC 7, earlier window shot proves footage not "blue screen" as ludicrous debunkers maintained despite BBC admission - More 9/11 archive footage has been unearthed of BBC correspondent Jane Standley, this time from the evening of September 11, in which her audio cuts out again - for the second time that day - when she begins to discuss Building 7. View the clip from You Tube below - as soon as the discussion moves to the collapse of other buildings besides the twin towers, Standley's audio feed is interrupted. A mere technical glitch or a suspicious interruption considering that the feed had cut out completely earlier in the day moments before the Solomon Brothers Building fell?

• Giuliani parlayed 9/11 fame into riches: newspaper - Just months after the terrorist attacks on New York City in September of 2001, "America's mayor" Rudolph Giuliani "took the first official step toward making himself rich," writes the Washington Post. It was on December 7, 2001, three weeks before leaving office as mayor of New York City, that Giuliani sent a letter to the city's Conflicts of Interest Board asking permission to form a consulting firm. The broadly defined company, Giuliani Parters, would bring in more than $100 million providing "management consulting service to governments and business" over the next 5 years, according to a Washington Post source.

• 9/11, acted as a 'benevolent dictator' - A story in tomorrow's New York Times (reg. req.) is highly criticial of Mayor Rudolph Giuliani's handling of the recovery operation in New York City following 9/11, claiming that his desire to downplay problems and return the city to a semblance of normality as quickly as possible has led to serious health problems for many of those who worked at ground zero. The Times also charges that Giuliani sidelined experienced federal officials from FEMA, OSHA and the Army Corps of Engineers, placing the cleanup instead in the hands of "a largely unknown city agency" that offered "a generally slipshod, haphazard, uncoordinated, unfocused response to environmental concerns." According to the Times, "one Army Corps official said Giuliani acted like a 'benevolent dictator.'"

• Rumsfeld Keeps Ghastly 9/11 Souvenirs - The Justice Department investigation that criticized FBI agents for taking souvenirs from the World Trade Center site also found that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and a high-ranking FBI official kept items from the Sept. 11 attack scenes. Excuse me? What the hell is Rumsfeld doing taking souvenirs from 9/11. First off, I must question the legality of this. Wouldn’t a piece of the airplane be considered a part of the crime scene? The whole 9/11 report and documentation is gnarled to death with inconsistency but hell, let’s take some evidence for the road.

• Loose Change: A Statement From Louder Than Words and MercuryMedia - We write to you as members of 'Patriots Question 9/11' and the producers of Loose Change 2 and Loose Change Final Cut with a message to fellow 'truthers' and interested media entities, that we will never submit to the demonic forces that seek to silence us.

• One in 5 Canadians sees 9/11 as U.S. plot - One in five Canadians believes the attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001, had nothing to do with Osama Bin Laden and were actually a plot by influential Americans, according to a poll released that had been released by Ipsos-Reid. The cited poll found that 22 percent of Canadians, and 26 percent of young Canadians, agree with the theory that 9/11 was "an inside job". The number was the highest, at 32 percent, in Quebec, which has shown the least support for the U.S. war on terror. The poll asked if the events of September 11, "including the thousands of American citizens who lost their lives on that day, were actually orchestrated by a group of highly influential Americans and others as part of a wider global conspiracy to profit from and gain power and who are actually protecting Osama Bin Laden from being captured."

• Lung Disease, 9/11 Link Seen In Rescuers - A study has confirmed New York City rescue workers at the Sept. 11, 2001, World Trade Center attacks suffered a spike in an uncommon lung disease. Nine doctors from the city fire department and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine found 86 cases per 100,000 workers developed sarcoidosis in the first year after the terror attack. The potentially fatal disease causes scarring in the lungs and other organs, the New York Times reported Tuesday.

• CANCER CLAIMS 9/11 COP - A detective on Mayor Bloomberg's security detail died yesterday of cancer - an illness his family and union officials believe can be traced to his work in the toxic debris at Ground Zero after 9/11. Detective Kevin Hawkins, 42, died at 2 a.m. at the hospice unit of Calvary Hospital in The Bronx, said Vic Cipulla, vice president of the Detectives Endowment Association. He'd been diagnosed with kidney cancer in September. Cipulla said Hawkins and his family had filed a claim that would seek verification that his illness was in the line of duty, making him eligible for a disability pension. "Members have come down with various forms of cancer and there are many still to come," he said.

• From Unlikely Quarters, Bruce Willis Ends The JFK Debate: The Kennedy assassination furore is over and the "conspiracy theorists" won, 9/11 is soon to follow - Bruce Willis' insightful and definitive comments to Vanity Fair about the assassination of JFK, in which he boldly states that Kennedy's killers were never caught and are still in power today, are a benchmark as to how far the truth movement has progressed since 9/11. "They still haven't caught the guy that killed [President] Kennedy," Willis told Vanity Fair's June issue. "I'll get killed for saying this, but I'm pretty sure those guys are still in power, in some form. The entire government of the United States was co-opted," adds the Die Hard star.

• Bruce Willis Says JFK Killers Still In Power: Actor tells Vanity Fair he's skeptical of lone shooter theory - In a new magazine interview, Bruce Willis spills the beans on his skepticism that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in the assassination of JFK, and suggests that the some of the same criminals who killed Kennedy are still in power today. "They still haven't caught the guy that killed [President] Kennedy," Willis told Vanity Fair's June issue, according to the New York Post. "I'll get killed for saying this, but I'm pretty sure those guys are still in power, in some form. The entire government of the United States was co-opted," adds the Die Hard star.   (COMMENTARY: Incidentally, Bruce Willis is aware that 9/11 is an inside job, as has been confirmed by major Hollywood film Director Richard Linklater)

• Traumas Like 9/11 Make Brains More Reactive to Fear - According to a new brain study, even people who seemed resilient but were close to the World Trade Center when the twin towers toppled on Sept. 11, 2001, have brains that are more reactive to emotional stimuli than those who were more than 200 miles away. That is the finding of a new Cornell study that excluded people who did not have such mental disorders as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or major depression. One of the first studies to look at the effects of trauma on the brains of healthy people, it is published in the May issue of the journal Emotion.

  Take it for what you will, folks. It's called a teaser for a reason. :lol:

• Bush Told Of First Attack On 9/11 Before He Left Florida Hotel - More archive video footage has been unearthed that re-emphasizes the fact that President Bush lied about how he first came to know about the events of September 11, 2001. Watch the clip from 7 minutes in. ABC News reporter John Cochran told ABC's Peter Jennings, "He got out of his hotel suite this morning, was about to leave, reporters saw the White House chief of staff Andy Card whisper into his ear, then reporters said to the President 'do you know what's going on in New York'? - he said he did and would have something to say about it later."

• Some Still Fantasize Iraq Was Responsible for 9/11 - On Monday, April 30 an online letter to the Seattle Times by Gerald D. Cline contained the following: "I ... know the difference between a military action in a country known to harbor a specific terrorist force responsible for specific terrorist acts (Afghanistan) and a war predicated on fraudulent statements by the highest offices in our government (Iraq) that anyone could still be holding to the disproved claim that we can fight terrorism by invading Iraq is amazing." This erroneous conclusion in the face of evidence thoroughly disproving the bases for it is amazing indeed, as Cline so aptly put it. But there are still some people who believe that every word in the Bible contains inspired truth and therefore cannot be challenged by what churchgoers of my boyhood referred to scoffingly as "worldly knowledge." 

• Virgin Airlines drops in-flight 9/11 conspiracy movie: Airline's mind already made up - Virgin Airlines has pulled a controversial internet documentary on 9/11 from its in-flight entertainment system after complaints from bloggers and radio shows. Virgin was going to show this month Loose Change, an 81 minute long documentary which alleges that the 9/11 attacks were not the result of terrorism, but a series of cleverly executed events carried out by the Bush administration. It suggests that American Airlines Flight 77 could not have crashed into the Pentagon, that the actual collapses of WTC 1, 2 and 7 were triggered by explosions, and originally that UA Flight 93 did not terminate in rural Pennsylvania, but landed safely at Cleveland Hopkins Airport.

• Hours after 9/11 attacks, Rumsfeld allegedly said, 'My interest is to hit Saddam' - According to NBC's chief Pentagon correspondent, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said that his "interest is to hit Saddam Hussein" just hours after the attacks on September 11, 2001, "even though all indications pointed at al-Qaida as the guilty party," a Rhode Island newspaper reports. At the annual Business Expo at the Rhode Island Convention Center Tuesday, NBC's Jim Miklaszewski "advanced a theme garnering attention since former CIA director George J. Tenet made his public revelations last week," writes Tom Mooney for the Providence Journal.

• 9/11: Major Italian TV network: conclusive evidence that WTC Building 7 was demolished with explosives: "Seven is exploding" - Welcome to all foreign readers. Luogocomune is a news commentary site (all in Italian, thus far) featuring a large, separate section on 9/11. In a way, the whole website revolves around the idea that unless that paramount, unacceptable lie called "the 9/11 terrorist attacks" is removed and put into right perspective, the downward spiral towards this new "dark age" of humanity will never stop.

• MERCURYMEDIA AND VIRGIN ATLANTIC AIRWAYS TAKE LOOSE CHANGE TO NEW HEIGHTS: MercuryMedia International announce they have licensed the 9/11 Internet hit Loose Change 2 to Virgin Atlantic Airways - The controversial film, made for just $10,000 has attracted over 50 million downloads, and has been broadcast in 50 territories worldwide. It has featured in numerous documentaries about the circumstances surrounding 9/11, and become the film most associated with the growing 9/11 movement. It will debut on Virgin, the first airline to offer the film to its passengers in May 2007.

• Tenet says Cheney had eye on Iraq long before 9/11: In his book, former CIA director says aides to Cheney and Rumsfeld inserted 'crap' into public justifications for war - White House and Pentagon officials, and particularly Vice President Dick Cheney, were determined to attack Iraq from the first days of the Bush administration, long before the Sept. 11 attacks, and repeatedly stretched available intelligence to build support for the war, according to a new book by former CIA director George Tenet. Although Tenet does not question the threat Saddam Hussein posed or the sincerity of administration beliefs, he recounts numerous efforts by aides to Cheney and then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to insert "crap" into public justifications for the war. Tenet also describes an ongoing fear within the intelligence community of the administration's willingness to "mischaracterize complex intelligence information."

• Rosie O'Donnell Hosts First Responders On The View - It was refreshing to see this issue get some prime time attention, but it appears that the fact of the EPA deliberately endangering the 9/11 heroes and then engaging in a cover-up in concert with Condi Rice was not stressed strongly enough, but well done to Rosie for getting this past the Neo-Con gatekeepers at ABC: -

• ABC Told Rosie Not To Talk About Dead U.S. Troops: O'Donnell censored on The View right from the start - Rosie O'Donnell was ordered by ABC not to talk about U.S. casualty figures on The View and was continually censored and blocked in her attempts to feature prominent members of the 9/11 Truth Movement as guests on the show. O'Donnell had met with 9/11 truth crusader and World Trade Center hero William Rodriguez before she went public with her comments on The View questioning the suspicious collapse of Building 7.

• If You're a Truther, Go and See Shooter: 9/11, JFK parallel movie is packed with strong anti-government sentiment, feeds into mass awakening cultural zeitgeist - Shooter, starring Mark Wahlberg, is the latest in a burgeoning trend of recent movies that carry a strong anti-government sentiment - the film is both political commentary and a damning expose of how the state stages black-ops in order to achieve political agendas. The film centers around a character called Bob Lee Swagger, played by Mark Wahlberg, a Marine sniper who retires from the military after his friend is killed while fighting in Ethiopia.

• Steven Jones Answers 9/11 Questions About His Research In a Reply to 'Screw Loose Change' - An Open Letter to Dr. Steven Jones by James Bennett, with replies by Steven Jones 

• John Kerry: Building 7 Was Deliberately Demolished: Massachusetts Senator's conclusion directly contradicts 9/11 official story, multi-billion dollar insurance lawsuit - At a recent speaking engagement in Austin Texas, Senator John Kerry responded to a question about WTC Building 7 by concluding that according to his information, the building was brought down as a result of a controlled demolition, directly contradicting the official line that the structure fell as a result of fire and debris damage. WTC Building 7 was a 47-story building in the WTC complex that collapsed at 5:20pm on September 11. The building had been structurally reinforced and was not hit by a plane yet collapsed in a uniform implosion within its own footprint in a matter of seconds after sustaining relatively light debris and fire damage following the collapse of the twin towers. News networks like BBC and CNN were reporting that the building had collapsed before it fell, indicating that the media were being handed a script of events that had yet to even unfold. Ground zero EMT's, firefighters and police were all told hours in advance to clear a collapse zone for Building 7 as it was going to be "brought down." Questioned on WTC 7 by members of Austin 9/11 Truth Now at a Book People event in Austin Texas, Kerry responded, "I do know that that wall, I remember, was in danger and I think they made the decision based on the danger that it had in destroying other things, that they did it in a controlled fashion."

• Chertoff in Washington Post admits 9/11 truth has gone mainstream - Michael Chertoff: "Since Sept. 11, a conspiracy-minded fringe has claimed that American officials plotted the destruction. But when scholars such as Zbigniew Brzezinski accuse our leaders of falsely depicting or hyping a "war on terror" to promote a "culture of fear," it's clear that historical revisionism has gone mainstream." The rest of the article can be summarized thus: "al-Qaeda... terror network... Osama Bin Laden ... kill Americans... islamist ideologues... al-Qaeda... al-qaeda and the Taliban... Sept. 11... Sept. 11... Islamic extremists' plot... horrific consequences... Sept. 11... al-Qaeda... al-Qaeda trained killers... " I think this has to be seen as a measure of how far the 911truth movement has come. For the head of the department of Orwellian irony department to write this article in an attempt to shore-up the crumbling 9/11 myth shows just and how much the perpetrators fear the truth. The tide has turned. The truth will out. It cannot be stopped. Keep up the pressure.

• 9/11 FIREFIGHTER LUNG AILMENTS ON THE RISE - Twenty-six firefighters who toiled at Ground Zero came down with sarcoidosis, an inflammatory illness that often attacks the lungs, in the five years after 9/11 - a significant increase, a new study has found. The study has angered the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, which complains that the NYPD has refused to acknowledge that 9/11 caused sarcoidosis in cops. Half the firefighter cases were diagnosed in the first year after 9/11 - a rate six times higher than the average for the Bravest in the 15 years before 9/11, according to a paper to be published in CHEST, a medical journal. The results "strongly argue for improved respiratory protection" at future fires, disasters and toxic sites, says the report, whose authors include FDNY top doctors David Prezant and Kerry Kelly. The PBA, which has its own registry of ailing WTC responders, counts 19 cops with sarcoidosis.

• AWOL After 9/11: A Skeptical Press? - There's a simple principle underlying "Buying the War," said television journalist Bill Moyers: Be skeptical. "People should read and watch the news with a raised eyebrow," said Moyers, a writer, executive editor and narrator of the 90-minute documentary about U.S. media coverage of claims and information leading to the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. The "phenomenon of terrorism" and the events of Sept. 11, 2001, shaped press coverage, he said. The film notes: "As the administration organized to strike back at the terrorists, there was little tolerance for critical scrutiny from journalists."

• Suits banned over touting of 9/11 air - An appeals court ruling could spell trouble for New Yorkers suing the Environmental Protection Agency and its former chief for saying that sooty lower Manhattan air was safe to breathe after the Sept. 11 terror attacks. A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has declared that then-EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman and other agency officials can't be held constitutionally liable for making rosy declarations about air quality in the days following the World Trade Center's destruction. The opinion, written by the court's chief judge, Dennis Jacobs, said opening EPA workers up to lawsuits for giving out bad information during a crisis could have a catastrophic side effect.

• David Arquette, a truther? Confirmed - Mr. Jeff Long introducing Mr. David Arquette, yet another confirmed 'truther' with his bumper stickers, DVDs, and more great truth swag. "This is gonna be big, isn't it? You guys did all this through the internet too, didn't you." Clearly (wink)... Mr. Arquette was referring to how the 9/11 truth movement has managed against extraordinary odds; to investigate, network, locate like-minded skeptics of fishy government stories, and coordinate logistics into countless decentralized groups and face to face meet-ups all over the planet.

• France warned CIA before 9-11 attacks - Former intelligence officials confirmed to the Associated Press Monday a Le Monde newspaper report that France's foreign intelligent service had heard about an al Qaeda plot which was "likely to involve a US airplane." The French paper also reported that France informed the Central Intelligence Agency prior to the attacks on September 11, 2001, in which nearly 3,000 were killed. However, it is uncertain whether the intelligence was alluding to the specific plot hatched on 9/11.

• A 9/11 "Smoking Gun" Hidden In Plain Sight - Let's face it, if the 9/11 attacks were "legitimate", they would have been accompanied by "legitimate" statements and claims of responsibility. You don't pull off the most spectacular "terrorist" attack in history, especially against largely symbolic targets, and then hide.

• Chavez calls 9/11 gift for Bush: Venezuelan President has labeled 9/11 attacks on US as "a gift for Bush," saying it enabled the US government to wage wars in Afghanistan and Iraq - Hugo Chavez made the statement during a news conference to mark the fifth anniversary of his return to power two days after a 2002 US-backed coup against his rule, AP reported. "If there were another aggression against us, there wouldn't be another drop of oil for the United States ... We're prepared for it," he said outright. Venezuelan leader noted the insatiable US thirst for oil resources led the imperialist regime to attack Iraq and also stage an abortive coup attempt against his leadership.   (FLASHBACK: MARCH 2006 - Venezuelan Government To Launch International 9/11 Investigation)

• A conspiracy theorist's paradise: Cheap editing software and an online audience are changing documentary films, says Chris Stevens - Documentary filmmakers used to edit their footage by manually cutting up giant reels of celluloid with a razor blade. The price for entry was high, and the chances of an audience ever seeing your film were staggeringly low. But now fledgling directors equipped with cheap editing programs such as iMovie have found a new outlet on the internet, and an audience of millions who just can't get enough. The new wave of internet documentaries deal with everything from 9/11 conspiracy theories to skiing in Iran. Young directors have taken advantage of the distribution power of video sites like YouTube and the availability of capable and cheap computers to produce finished films that, at least on the surface, look factual, watchable and authoritative.   (RELATED EXTERNAL WEBSITE: loosechange911.com)

• 9/11 Truth: Daniel Sunjata - Alex welcomes Daniel Sunjata, co-star of the critically-acclaimed FX Network television series, Rescue Me and Tony Award nominated actor who has performed in film, television and in the theater and has recently come forward with his support of the 9/11 Truth Movement.

• Scholars and Family Members Submit Request for Correction to 9/11 NIST Report - A group of scientists, researchers and 9/11 family members challenging the official reports of the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers on 9/11/01 has filed a Request for Correction (RFC) with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The Request asserts that the NIST Final Report violates information quality standards, draws inferences that are inconsistent with its own computer simulations and physical tests, and exhibits a significant bias toward a preordained conclusion while ignoring available evidence contrary to it. The Request also says that if this bias is corrected, the NIST simulation clearly indicates that the Towers should not have collapsed due to plane damage and fire. The obvious alternative, which the group says should have been studied by NIST, is explosive demolition.

• Nephew of 9/11 Mastermind Denies Involvement in the Attacks - An alleged high-level al-Qaeda operative who is the nephew of the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States told a military tribunal that he had no ties to the plot and is being held because of his family connection, according to a transcript released yesterday. Ammar al-Baluchi, nephew of Khalid Sheik Mohammed, told a Combatant Status Review Tribunal last month at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, that he was a businessman who helped his uncle's affiliates but said he did not know they were part of a terror network. In an unusual witness statement entered at the March 30 tribunal, Mohammed said that Baluchi "has never had association with al-Qaeda, Taliban or associated organizations" and that his nephew "had no knowledge of al-Qaeda links."

• Former Bush Speechwriter Hints at 9/11 Inside Job: Says Neo-Cons would have created a false flag to justify war had it not been for WTC attack, questions official story - A GOP insider, former Bush 41 speechwriter and close friend of the Bush family writes in his new book that before 9/11, the Neo-Cons in control of the Bush administration were eager to seize upon a manufactured provocation to go to war - just as LBJ had done with the Gulf Of Tonkin in 1965, and questions the official 9/11 story. Victor Gold is a veteran GOP campaign operative who worked closely with George H.W. Bush on his presidential campaign and also co-wrote his autobiography. He was also tasked with writing the profiles for Dick and Lynn Cheney for the official Inauguration program in 2001.

• Imus-Gate: Tom DeLay To Rosie O'Donnell: 'We're Gonna "Destroy" You!' - The right wing attack dogs have been unleashed. Rosie O'Donnell is about to join Don Imus on the unemployment line, if former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has anything to say about it. "The Hammer" has fired a salvo which has already been answered by The View's Rosie O'Donnell. In a posting on his blog at TomDeLay.com, entitled "If the Left takes Imus, We'll take Rosie," the controversial DeLay has issued a call-to-arms on conservatives to "protest and demand" that Rosie get the Imus treatment at ABC.

• Square rally: 9/11 was U.S. 'plot' - An energetic group of young people with some radical ideas descended upon Journal Square yesterday to spread their theory that the Sept. 11 attacks were not an act of terrorists, but carried out by the U.S. government. A group of about 15 men and women passed out flyers and tried to convince anyone who would listen that the highest ranking American officials had a hand in the tragic events of 9/11. While onlookers may have scoffed at the conspiracy theorists, these demonstrations are not uncommon, said one in the group. "This is our first demonstration in New Jersey. However, this has been going on at Ground Zero for six years now," said Glenn Zarmanov, 19, of Jersey City. Another member believes their message is catching on. "These rallies are starting to pop up all over the place," said Tom D'Angelo.

• New Victim's Family Supports Search For 9/11 Truth: Parents of United Airlines 175 flight attendant Alicia Titus on quest to find out what really happened on September 11 - A new 9/11 victim's family have gone public on their doubts about the official story and have firmly placed their support behind the efforts of the 9/11 Truth Movement to search for the truth of what really happened on September 11, belying a common slur on behalf of the establishment press that questioning the government's version of the attacks is somehow insulting to the victims. The family concerned are John and Bev Titus, parents of Alicia Titus, who was a flight attendant on United Flight 175, the plane that crashed into the WTC south tower on September 11, 2001. John and Bev have since devoted their time to activism and have set up a fund for their daughter called The Alicia Titus Memorial, the proceeds from which go to supporting the peace movement.

• "New 9/11 crisis catalyst to merge U.S., Mexico and Canada": North American Union leader says merger just crisis away - Leading intellectual force behind effort toward EU-style unity looks at future - Robert Pastor, a leading intellectual force in the move to create an EU-style North American Community, told WND he believes a new 9/11 crisis could be the catalyst to merge the U.S., Mexico and Canada. Pastor, a professor at American University, says that in such a case the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America, or SPP – launched in 2005 by the heads of the three countries at a summit in Waco, Texas – could be developed into a continental union, complete with a new currency, the amero, that would replace the U.S. dollar just as the euro has replaced the national currencies of Europe.

• Professor who criticized Bush told added to terrorist 'no-fly' list - A top Constitutional scholar from Princeton who gave a televised speech that slammed President George W. Bush's executive overreach was recently told that he had been added to the Transportation Security Administration's terrorist watch list. He shared his experience this weekend at the law blog Balkinization. Walter F. Murphy, the McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence, Emeritus, at Princeton University, attempted to check his luggage at the curbside in Albuquerque before boarding a plane to Newark, New Jersey. Murphy was told he could not use the service. "I was denied a boarding pass because I was on the Terrorist Watch list," he said. When inquiring with a clerk why he was on the list, Murphy was asked if he had participated in any peace marches. "We ban a lot of people from flying because of that," a clerk said.

• 9-11 Truth on The View: Rosie O: Another Unexpected Hero - The Truth will not change. Perception of the Truth continuously grows. While Rosie may not get www.911Truth.org on the View, some great nuggets of truth have been leaking out to the people. Rosie O'Donnell is a small test case for the 9-11 Truth movement. If right-wing pressure succeeds in getting Rosie villainized, kicked off the View, and blacklisted for simply asking questions about what really happened on September 11th, then it could have a chilling effect on some other Truth tellers and embolden the real rightwing enemies of freedom and liberty.

• The Eleventh Day of Every Month: The Third Stage - An 84% majority of the American people believe the Bush administration has engaged in a cover-up surrounding 9/11. At least one third of Americans believe the attacks were an inside job. Small groups of vocal individuals have been the only ones in history that have fundamentally changed history. 9/11 truth is alive and kicking!: -

• Fight to save story of 9/11 goes on: State officials try to resolve what WTC records and items can and should be preserved - More than five years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, archivists are still grappling with how and what to preserve of public records pertaining to the attacks and recovery efforts. Officials with the State Archives and State Museum participated in a recent conference in New York City headlined by U.S. Archivist Allen Weinstein. "Almost every state government agency was involved in some way with the response and recovery following the attacks," said State Archivist Christine Ward, who attended the conference. While the State Archives has systems in place for preserving routine records of each state agency at automatic intervals, some files pertaining to their work after 9/11 don't fall into that category.

• 9/11 Truth Reaches The Tipping Point: Exponential growth secured by Rosie O'Donnell's public stance - 9/11 truth has reached its tipping point, with the exponential growth of the movement secured following Rosie O'Donnell's brave public stance as well as numerous other high profile individuals, ensuring our numbers and influence expands on a weekly basis. In early February we asked who the next 9/11 superhero would be. Rosie O'Donnell has answered that question and now is the time for more public figures to step forward and overwhelm the cultural zeitgeist to push 9/11 truth over the edge and make it go truly supernova. We know of numerous celebrities by name who have known about 9/11 truth for a very long time and have considered whether to go public or not. Charlie Sheen and Rosie O'Donnell are the canaries in the coal mine and they are still standing. The climate is right for those in the know to flood the media with 9/11 truth. 

• 9/11 Physicist Contacted To Appear On The View: Agreement tentatively made for Steven Jones to discuss towers, WTC 7 collapse - Physicist Professor Steven Jones has confirmed that Rosie O'Donnell's staff have contacted him regarding a potential future appearance on The View to discuss the improbable collapse of the twin towers and WTC 7. During a debate on The View, O'Donnell promised to feature a physicist as a guest on the show to discuss the physical evidence and the impossibility of jet fuel melting steel. "A person from Rosie's team contacted me by E mail," Professor Jones told the Alex Jones Show, "so I wrote back to them and said I would be glad to appear and I named two other physicists who I trust who could also appear."   (RELATED: See Steven Jones' website - journalof911studies.com)

• Big Country Songwriter Comes out for 9/11 Truth - Dan Tyler's songs have become hits for LeAnn Rimes, Kenny Rogers, The Oak Ridge Boys, Eddie Arnold, B.J. Thomas, Eddie Rabbit, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and many others. Tyler is based in Nashville. "The importance of the 9/11 truth movement cannot be overstated. Like me, millions of patriotic Americans question the official explanation of the attacks. The questions and the number of citizens asking them will increase until a tipping point is reached and a new, aggressive investigation initiated. From this new inquiry truths will emerge which will shake this country to its foundations and, hopefully, restore our constitutional democracy. Until that happy day arrives, however, the powerful forces aligned against 9/11 truth will fight with fury and abandon. We must be strong and resolute and take inspiration from apostles of peace like Gandhi and King. At the most basic level, the struggle is love versus fear.

• Prime News and Popular Mechanics Attack Rosie and 9/11 Truth - They promote stoprosie.com and ask people to sign petition to get her fired. This is Erica Hill's show on CNN Headline News from 04-04-07. James Miegs and Ethan Czahor from stoprosie.com are the guests. James Miegs claims that fire didn't have to melt the steel, it just had to be weakened by it. But it did melt! Look at the pictures, better yet, look at a portion of the FEMA report that was conviently left out of the NIST report. Here is the link: www.fema.gov/pdf/library/fema403_apc.pdf Go ahead, read how he tested steel from the site and discovered that steel was "liquefied".

• Help Defend Rosie & Save Free Speech In America: Sign the petition! - Rosie O'Donnell has been savagely attacked by talking heads on major news networks and others simply for exercising her first amendment right to ask questions about 9/11, questions that are shared by the majority of family members of the victims. A relentless campaign on behalf of anti-American haters of free speech is underway to force ABC to fire O'Donnell from her position as host of The View. This petition was created to show that a significant and vocal number of Americans recognize and support Rosie O'Donnell's stance in displaying the highest form of patriotism - asking questions of government and demanding the truth about what really happened on 9/11.   (EXTERNAL WEBSITES: Sign the petitions at defendrosie.com & keeprosie.com and also help spread these links!)

  

  

• 'Stop Rosie' Website, Petition: Because they can't debate us on the facts, Neo-Con bootlickers use mob intimidation tactics to shut down free speech - Anti-American enemies of free speech have launched an official campaign to have Rosie O'Donnell fired for asking questions about 9/11 and the Iranian hostage crisis, setting up a website and a farcical poll - a sizable portion of whose signatories consist of fake names and joke entries. "We would like to make it very clear that we support Miss O’Donnell’s right to say whatever she deems appropriate. This is a free country and she has the right of free speech. We are not demanding that government or Disney-ABC censor anything she, or anyone else, says," states the website, obviously worried that if Rosie were to be fired, legal consequences would inevitably follow.

• 9/11 facts on the Sudden Implosion of WTC Building 7 are inconsistent with official Muslim conspiracy scenario - Everyone remembers the Twin Towers exploding at 9:59AM and 10:28AM EDT on September 11, 2001. Comparatively few people can recall that there was a third massive skyscraper, also a part of the World Trade Center, which fell very rapidly to the ground on that day. This was World Trade Center Building 7.1 One reason that few remember WTC Building 7’s collapse is that after September 11th it has been treated, both in the media and in The 9/11 Commission Report, as if it didn’t happen.

• O'Donnell 9/11 Rant Reaches 30 Million Viewers: Promises to feature physics professor on The View to discuss WTC collapse - Rosie O'Donnell is certainly not backing away from her public stance about 9/11, and this morning on The View went on a 9 minute rant about the many questions surrounding the attack, reaching around 30 million viewers in the process. This is the largest single exposure 9/11 truth has enjoyed to date and it represents a watershed moment in the quest to bring the truth to the masses. We are acquiring the video of the rant and it will be posted here soon.

• The 9/11 Truth Domino Effect: More and more going public everyday with vital information and valuable expertise - The leaking of the until now withheld WTC blueprints this week represents a growing trend of truth seeking individuals putting aside politics and coming forth in an attempt to set the record straight on the defining event of the 21st century.

• Christians, Muslims, and Jews forge an Interfaith 9/11 Truth Alliance over the War on Terrorism - When I tell people I work for the Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth, LINK, I can see their eyes glaze over for a moment as they try to process the information. The idea of any Muslim- Jewish-Christian alliance is "hard to compute." The 9/11 truth part further boggles the already boggled mind of the neophyte, provoking stupefaction or, occasionally, amazed laughter. Jokes subvert expectation, and the idea of a Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance for 9/11 truth seems so subversive it sounds like a joke: "A rabbi, a priest, and an imam walk into a bar...bartender says, what are ya having"; Rabbi says, "A glass of kosher wine and some 9/11 truth please. Priest says, "Amen to the truth, but make mine whiskey." Imam says, "Glad to hear you arggh both helpeeng clear zee names of zee slandered Muslims... but what zee hell am I doing in a bar? Seriously, MUJCA is no joke. Short version: We're the interfaith wing of the 9/11 truth movement. Co-founded in November 2004 by myself and Faiz Khan, a physician, imam, 9/11 first responder, and interfaith activist, MUJCA has been spearheading a worldwide effort to get people of the Abrahamic faith traditions to talk about the facts and meaning of the events of September 11th, 2001. As our mission statement puts it: We do not necessarily agree about the probable level of official complicity in the events of September 11th, but we agree that a new investigation is a matter of the utmost importance.

• Mark Dice Crashes Cal State San Marcos - CSUSM gets an unexpected visit from Mark Dice to spread 9/11 truth to the students. One professor says he isn't opposed to the ideas, he just says Mark should have asked permission first instead of interupting class: -

• Mark Cuban Exposes O'Reilly Hypocrisy On Radio Broadcast: Hearst yellow journalism devotees Popular Mechanics, NY Post enlisted to debunk 9/11 truth again - Billionaire Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks who is set to finance a cinema release of Loose Change narrated by Charlie Sheen, exposed Bill O'Reilly's rampant hypocrisy concerning his coverage of the 9/11 truth movement on the Fox News host's radio show yesterday. Offering the entire 18 minute segment will probably result in Bill calling on Fox security to pay us a visit so here's a 9 minute clip instead.

• Hannity & Colmes Covers Sheen & 9/11 Truth - Fox News' Hannity & Colmes delivers yet another hit piece on the 9/11 truth movement, this time denouncing Charlie Sheen, who is set to narrate Loose Change in association with billionaire Mark Cuban. Notice how they attack him on a personal level and then talk about the fact that they attacked him on a personal level, without actually discussing any of the issues he raises! To be fair, Colmes presents a balanced counter-argument and mentions the fact that Alex Jones is a conservative, so this isn't a left/right issue: -

• 9/11 remains possibly used on roads: court papers - Debris that may have contained bits of bone from victims of the World Trade Center attacks was used to fill potholes and pave city roads, according to court papers filed on Friday. The charge was made in an affidavit filed in Manhattan federal court in an ongoing case filed in 2005 by family members of those killed in the attacks against the city. They say the city did not do enough to search for remains, denying victims a proper burial. Eric Beck, a construction worker employed at the Fresh Kills landfill in the borough of Staten Island, where the rubble was taken after the Twin Towers fell, said in his affidavit that the process of sifting through the debris was rushed.

• The 9/11 Lie is in Critical Condition - There was a time, not long ago, when daring to question the official account of 9/11 was risky business. One was almost guaranteed to be attacked as a "crazy person" or a "traitor" or a "terrorist sympathizer." Times have changed. At this point, less than 20% of the population believes they were given the full truth regarding 9/11. Logically one might ask: "Why is that?" It wasn't for lack of trying that the government failed in its propaganda campaign. It wasn't for lack of "helping hands" in the mainstream media. (Though even that support has begun to fall apart.) No, it was one thing and one thing only that caused hundreds of millions of American citizens to openly question the official account of 9/11; the evidence.

• Charlie Sheen to narrate Loose Change Final Edition - American actor Charlie Sheen is reportedly in talks to narrate a documentary which suggests the US government was somehow involved in the September 11 attacks in 2001. The 90 minute conspiracy theory film is called Loose Change and Sheen's representatives have said he is involved in production. The 41 year old actor had made his opinion on the subject known when he spoke to a radio station last year. '19 amateurs with box cutters taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75 per cent of their targets? That feels like a conspiracy theory. It raises a lot of questions.'   (RELATED ARCHIVE: Charlie Sheen Speaks out on 9/11)

• Former CIA official supports Professor's claim that official 9/11 Islamist conspiracy theory are lies - David Ray Griffin is widely recognized as one of the leading spokespersons of the 9/11 truth movement. This is by virtue of his previous four books on the subject. Professor Griffin and a growing list of scholars, other researchers as well as diverse experts and activists, reject the official Islamist mastermind conspiracy theory about 9/11 advanced by Establishment interests. Although the 9/11 truth movement was long ignored by the U.S. government and the mainstream media, recent polls have shown that (as Time magazine has acknowledged) the rejection of the official theory has become "a mainstream political phenomenon."

• Firemen douse Rudy’s image as 9/11 hero: Union bid to halt White House run - FIRE battalion chief Jim Riches brought up his son to be one of New York’s “bravest”, like him. The young Jim followed his father into the New York fire department and died at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. What followed turned his heartbroken father into a relentless opponent of Rudy Giuliani, then mayor of New York. With other families of 9/11 victims, Riches has vowed to torpedo Giuliani’s prospects of winning the White House by attacking his greatest source of strength, his reputation as a hero that day.

• Rosie O'Donnell Goes Public On 9/11: Follows in footsteps of other brave figures in public eye - After going public this week with her skepticism over the official story of 9/11, Rosie O'Donnell has continued to address the issue in a Q&A with her readers on her website. We reported yesterday that O'Donnell, who has for weeks now been tentatively trying to raise the issue of 9/11 truth on her ABC show The View, wrote a blog entry encouraging her readers to research 9/11, in particular the building 7 demolition.
