A View on 09/11/01--Rutgers Prof/Dean Questions Official Account of 9/11Posted September 11, 2007 in the Rutgers-Newark Observer: If the assumptions about the true nature of the events are erroneous, then the policies that have been justified by those assumptions must be questioned -ongoing policies that include the invasion and occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, and suspension of the guarantees provided by the Bill of Rights and the Constitution - against torture and against warrantless spying on U.S. citizens. If we turn a blind eye to the truth about the events that occurred on September 11, 2001, we do so at our peril, for revealing the truth may well change profoundly the course of future events.

Paul Craig Roberts on 9/11, Economy, and America at Electric Politics
September 21, 2007 This is the 100th show on Electric Politics. So it seems appropriate to cover a series of subversive topics with a genuinely revolutionary soul, Dr. Paul Craig Roberts. We talk about 9/11, about the emerging American police state, and about the realities of international economics which, unfortunately, all too few economists understand. Now, Craig calls himself a pessimist, but I detect an element of optimism here — certainly a fiery determination to make change happen. And as far as I'm concerned, he's a true American hero. Total runtime of an hour and forty minutes. Enjoy!

9/11 - the big cover-up?From the Guardian's online blog page: Even the chair of the 9/11 Commission now admits that the official evidence they were given was 'far from the truth'. – Ed.
September 12, 2007 10:30 AM 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 US 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.

In honor of our veterans, we again call for truthSeptember 11, 2007 . . . We can't ignore or dismiss the rationale of so many professionals who clamor for a serious probe into the most serious issue any news agency can cover. We owe the truth to every member of the armed forces risking his or her life following orders, and to their families and loved ones. So we add yet another call to media across America to join us in pushing for an unbiased independent investigation into the events of Sept. 11. It is more than a matter of justice; the truth is a matter of life and death. In honor of our veterans, we again call for truth.

bin Laden organized 9/11 attacks?Osama bin Laden organized the 9/11 attacks, right? Not according to the FBI, or the White House, or the Justice Department. What is implied on TV is very different from the actual actions the US government has taken in "pursuit" of the 9/11 conspirators. Six years later, the US has filed no charges, presented no evidence and in fact is not even seeking Bin Laden in connection with the crime!

The History Channel takes on 9/11…and failsby William Veale August 27th, 2007 On Saturday, August 26th at 5PM, Pacific Time, the History Channel aired “Conspiracy
Theories about 9/11, Fact or Fiction?” Many facts were ignored: 1. Residue of thermate, a compound used to cut steel in controlled demolitions, was found in the rubble. 2. There are eyewitness statements describing molten metal in the rubble just after the attacks, as well as orange to light-yellow hot pieces of metal, weeks afterward.

Producer of 9/11 Conspiracy Film 'Loose Change' Arrested for Deserting the ArmyOriginally reported 7/25 in the New York Daily Star, and followed up with another story on 7/26, Loose Change producer Korey Rowe was arrested Monday night at his home in Oneanta, NY. "Rowe was arrested on a 'military warrant' that [the Sheriff] said was brought to the attention of deputies by the Oneonta Police Department, who received information from a source outside of that department." 911truth.org contacted Dylan Avery to ask how we could best help, and were asked, like everyone, to keep this relatively quiet until they figured out "what was going on." Korey has since been released, and posted a video statement at the LooseChange blog. Almost daily, we learn of more troops being prosecuted for various reasons relating to their resistance and speaking out against the war, including attempts to "re-discharge" them at less than honorable status after previously having been honorably discharged, courts martial, and detention. Many of these soldiers' stories are being told by Courage To Resist, and this week's newsletter from them included information about Korey Rowe. Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW.org) members have particularly come under harassment--they have a good section at the IVAW site on this. Rev. Lennox Yearwood, "President of the Hip Hop Caucus, and an officer in the United States Air Force Reserve, received notification from the Air Force that they were taking action to honorably discharge him on the basis of 'behavior clearly inconsistent with the interest of national security' a week after he announced the launching of a national 'Make Hip Hop Not War' tour at a press conference on Capitol Hill. After anti-war activists, including Cindy Sheehan, began organizing a protest outside the gates, the military later postponed their July 12th hearing at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia." Clearly, it is very important that we support these GI resisters who are willing to risk saying, "Sir, No Sir", as much as possible. Rev. Yearwood's powerful statement, "Now is the time for us to stand up and stand together," is posted in full at the end of this article. Interesting that Foxnews.com picked up Korey Rowe's story, and mentions the UK theatrical release of Loose Change Final Cut ... when is the last time we've seen something this "fair and balanced" from them? – Ed.
One of the young filmmakers behind a controversial 9/11 conspiracy documentary was arrested this week on charges that he deserted the Army, even though he claims he received an honorable discharge. Korey Rowe, 24, who served with the 101st Airborne in Afghanistan and Iraq, told FOXNews.com that he was honorably discharged from the military 18 months ago — which he said he explained to sheriffs when they pounded on his door late Monday night.

WTC INSURE 'WA$TE' -- $1B FUND SQUANDERS CASH SUITWhile tens of thousands suffer from the toxic fallout at Ground Zero, the WTC Captive Insurance Co., controlled by Mayor Bloomberg, drains the fund intended to be used for ill workers. For your convenience in reviewing the historical record stating the original mandate for this allocation, we have appended the press release from Governor Pataki and Mayor Bloomberg, issued March 21, 2003. In an amazing twist of irony, the Bloomberg appointed CEO and President of the WTC Captive Insurance Co. draws a salary of $350,000 and receives $20,000 annually in health benefits.
In another ironic twist of timing, this weekend the FealGood Foundation--which provides direct help to responders--is holding a doo-wop benefit concert to raise the desperately needed funds they can't get from the Bloomberg fund.
– Ed.
"Congress gave Bloomberg a billion dollars to cover for the mistakes he and his predecessor, Mayor Giuliani, made in failing to protect tens of thousands of workers," lawyer David Worby said. "Now, adding insult to injury, he refuses to use the funds intended for that exact purpose - to help the sick and dying 9/11 heroes."

Rudy Giuliani: Urban LegendWhen it was convenient, Giuliani, like other politicians, used the sympathy for the fallen heroes for his own political benefit. "Rudy has used the horrible events of September 11 to create a persona that is an elaborate fabrication," says IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger. "He is nothing more than a shameless self-promoter." But when the International Association of Firefighters challenged Giuliani's reputation as a competent leader on 9/11, the media and the Giuliani campaign were quick to spin the attacks as partisan. The Giuliani campaign immediately tried to minimize the fallout from the IAFF video just released by stating that the IAFF supports democratic candidates. But the firefighters and families raise three crucial issues that challenge Giuliani's Urban Legend (Video link). Giuliani placed New York City's emergency response bunker, the Office of Emergency Management, in WTC 7, across the street from the World Trade Center towers that were attacked in 1993, against public protest. They evacuated their command center early on 9/11, before the building collapsed. Giuliani was responsible for the decision to scoop and dump the remains of the fallen in the Fresh Kills Landfill, preventing their dignified recovery, burial and closure for their families. Giuliani and his administration illegally purchased Motorola radios for the FDNY, for an undisclosed sum. The new radios did not function properly and were taken out of service after less than a week. Thus, on 9/11, the NYFD was using 20+ year old radios when they went into the towers.
– Ed.
Rudy Giuliani's reputation as the man who led the city out of the darkness of 9/11 came under sharp assault yesterday in a video that accused him of mishandling the attack and then turning a financial and political profit from it. The ex-mayor's presidential campaign moved quickly to discredit the film, entitled "Rudy Giuliani: Urban Legend," which the 280,000-member International Association of Fire Fighters released on the Web yesterday.
