Attack-Terrorism USA

Escalating mainstream mistrust of "official 9/11 story" driven by important new films, books and activist campaigns; promises new openings for insurgent candidacies and radical reform initiatives.

(PRWEB) September 11, 2006 — The year leading up to the fifth anniversary of the September 11 attacks has been marked by an unprecedented upsurge in public mistrust of the official story portrayed in the 9/11 Commission Report. Respected national polling firms Zogby and Scripps Howard have shown that less than half the public believes in the conclusions or integrity of the 9/11 Commission, and 36% of Americans now think the administration was actively complicit in the attacks to advance its preplanned Mideast war agenda.

Towers of Deception — The Media Cover-up of 9-11

This outburst of popular skepticism has come in spite of five years of lockstep support for the official 9/11 narrative by the national press, broadcast media, and both major political parties. The mounting distrust spans the political, religious and ethnic spectrums, and has been largely driven by compelling new films, books, whistleblower reports, and escalating grassroots activism. Collectively these resources and constituencies not only offer the country hope for a fresh and truly honest 9/11 probe, but also a potent new base for radical political reform.

Activating the Newly Awakened

To mobilize the 70+ million voting age 9/11 skeptics identified by Zogby, 911truth.org has organized "Politics 911," a national effort to identify congressional candidates who would demand an honorable new 9/11 inquiry and then help generate support for their election. This campaign has started polling candidates nationwide and is currently recruiting grassroots poll volunteers at http://www.911truthgroups.org/911Truth. Early progress includes 9/11 truth advocate Dr. Robert Bowman’s lopsided Democratic primary victory on September 5th in Florida’s 15th Congressional District. Mavereick Ohio Democrat Rep. Dennis Kucinich has also repeatedly promised at least new 9/11 hearings if his party retakes the House, but there are also courageous GOP, Green and Libertarian hopefuls demanding 9/11 truth in their campaigns.

Majoritarian Education
National 9/11 poll analyses indicate that among citizens who know the most basic facts about September 11 anomalies (e.g., the unexplained WTC 7 collapse, the Pentagon’s six coincidental aerial war games, the 23 specific advance warnings from 11 foreign governments, etc.), four out of five support an independent re-investigation. This strongly suggests that simply continuing to publicize the most elemental facts and unanswered questions could swiftly build an irresistible public outcry for a new inquiry.

New and Old Tools for Enlightenment
The truth movement is currently blessed with an extraordinary array of new films and books that deconstruct the official story with meticulous research, passion and clarity. Among the latest crop, 911truth.org particularly recommends:

"9/11: Press for Truth" — a stunning new documentary based on Paul Thompson’s "Terror Timeline" and the story of the "Jersey Girls" who lobbied the 9/11 Commission into existence and still feel betrayed by the cover-up it spawned. (Full film available free online for several days at http://www.mediachannel.org/)

"9/11 and American Empire: American Intellectuals Speak Out" and "Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11: A Call to Reflection and Action" by Dr. David Ray Griffin et al. that smartly introduce the 9/11 truth conversation to influential new constituencies.

"Towers of Deception — The Media Cover-up of 9-11" by Canadian media scholar Barrie Zwicker that thoroughly dissects corporate media complicity in the suppression of inconvenient 9/11 truths.

There are many more powerful works now available at 911truth.org and more are on the way. In the meantime, it is useful to remember some of the most basic questions that the corporate media still refuse to ask and a new 9/11 inquiry must confront


— Why do 70% of the victim families’ questions remain unanswered to this day, questions that the Commission initially promised would become the investigation’s "road map"?


— Why has the FBI gone to such lengths to cover up its passive unto hostile response to terrorist investigations prior to September 11? Why did it promote the officials who quashed these investigations while gagging agents who claim to have vital information the public still needs to know?

— Why did the 9/11 Commission steer its investigation away from virtually indisputable evidence for government complicity in the 9/11 attacks? And why hasn’t the corporate media followed up on this story?


— Why were dozens of intelligence experts "turned away, silenced or censored" by the 9/11 Commission, according to the National Security Whistleblowers Association, so that not a single meaningful word from any of their testimony made it into the final report?


— Who ordered the half dozen aerial war games that were going on during the 9/11 attacks? Who commanded and controlled them, and why has the media never questioned this bizarre coincidence?


— Why has the 9/11 Commission sealed its private hearing and interview records until January 2009? How can anyone assess its integrity or performance without any of this material?


— Why were NORAD officials permitted to repeatedly lie about our military response that morning without ever facing reprimand or censure, let alone courts martial?

911truth.org executive director, Janice Matthews thoughtfully welcomes the new stage the movement has reached. "The forces aligned against 9/11 truth have moved in recent months from disregard and ridicule to mass media damage control and openly hostile attacks. While this is a certain sign of progress, citizens should be alert to the ubiquitous strawman tactics now employed by official story flacks to defame our movement and re-marginalize 9/11 truth. Specifically, this involves choosing the most ludicrous hypotheses ever uttered and trying to tar the entire 9/11 movement with their absurdities. These include bizarre propositions known as the no-plane, hologram, and pod theories among others, which the mainstream movement considers as preposterous as do its disingenuous foes, who rationally cower at commonsensical questions like those above.

"Overall, however, the real message of 9/11 truth has now reached a critical mass of citizens, and ruthless defamation tactics may prolong the "media controversy" but are ultimately doomed to fail. Truth has an inherent strange attractor force that cannot be dispelled, not by cynical propaganda nor overwhelming media power. It is in that lust for truth and justice that our democracy once began, and 9/11 truth now offers Americans the chance to feel that thrill again."

  • Forgive me, I’m just a schmuck out here in the boonies trying to figure it all out and have what is probably a stupid question. How is it that this parallel exists? Close to 1/2 of the country still believes Saddam has something to do with 9/11. Could those people also believe that Bush and Saddam were in cahoots and blew up the buildings? If that’s not true then I guees the other half who don’t believe Saddam did it, believe that Bush did it, right? Is there anybody left, just one stinking person out there, who believes that just quite possibly with a deep sense of zealotry and the discipline it takes to kneel 5 times a day to pray, those 19 guys hijacked planes that actually crashed into buildings, which then caused them to fall? Please say yes. It’d be nice to see that there’s still one "stupid" person left in America.

    • Yes, 64 117, there are plenty of stupid people out here. We believe that through the power of prayer, the 19 Muslim hijackers achieved very much. One of the most remarkable results of their prayers was the total neutralization of NORAD on 911. Such is the power of faith! Just because we’re stupid doesn’t mean that we can’t recognize divine intervention when we see it. God must have been on the hijackers side.

    • Yes 24**145, it seems you’re right: God is powerful, but not quite the deciding factor on that fateful day. Contrary to your assertion about NORAD, it wasn’t out of commission as many conspiracy theorists would have you believe. It was just plain incompetent. And why wouldn’t it be, it’s part of the most inept Administration in U.S. history.

      To begin with, Norad is too huge to have devoted its entire resources to the exercises that, supposedly, distracted it that day. In fact, those exercises were scheduled to occur an hour after the strikes on the WTC and NORAD planes were not in fact engaged in those exercises and thus were fully ready to respond to clear, unambiguous directions, which they never received. I know, it’s sad when the facts get in the way of conspiracy fantasies. I remember when I first discovered there was no Santa.

    • according to cornell law library on june 1st 2001 president george walker bush signed a presidential directive that effectively declawed NORAD from reacting to hijackings, until the president or the sec of defense, gave the ok.Up until then Norad had forced 67 planes down in 2001 for flying in restricted air spaces. we all saw what bush did when he was informed and what the secret service didnt do to a very legitimate target if they actually thought we were under attack the very essence of secret service training is to get the president out of sight when we are under attack. i dont claim to be intelligent , but i wasnt born last night either. pnac plans alone show mea culpa , its time to send in the marines to 1600 penn avenue and end this war against terror for good. bush admin are the terrorists in my opinion. this would explain why w always seems to think he knows how they think.

    • Yes 205 116, it was ALLAH who directed the 19 Muslim hijackers to choose September 11 for the day of their attacks. Being ALL KNOWING, ALLAH knew that NORAD would be running hijack drills on that day. ALLAH knew that the FAA and NORAD would be confused as to what "hijacked planes" were part of the drills and what hijacked planes were real. NORAD was not "incompetent," as you claim. It was up against THE AlMIGHTY and there is no defense against THE ALMIGHTY.

    • You just might want to ask the once mighty Ottoman Empire about that!
