I think this is a momentous occasion. It proves that we still have free speech in this country, and that we are not in danger of a totalitarian takeover. If that were so, this would be an act of treason. We have yet to hear what he says, but an open public accusation would be amazing.
It proves that the terror hoax did not take hold, and it has lost its stranglehold over the American public. They basically think Bush lied about Iraq, so who knows what else they will come to believe. At least there is a healthy doubt in the air, and the fear of terrorists does not have the power it once did.
Now is the time to move forward, and leave this sorrow behind.

But to a lot of people it does not make sense that a lie of such magnitude would happen for no reason. Therefore there is widespread skepticism.
In the eyes of those people there would have to be a "very good reason" in the mind of those who lied (Bush admin) to the american people.
The author Griffin's comparison to Pearl Harbor is instructive. The entire reason the democratic administration of the 1940's lied to the american people about Pearl Harbor was "the good reason" that Germany had to be stopped.
The american people would not have wanted to go to war based on "hypotheticals" (at that time) about the NAZI asperations. FDR, this story goes, had to make a tough decision that would cost fewer american lives in the long run.
So the 1940's attack from Japan, when detected in enough time to thwart it or seriously diminish its effects, was allowed to proceed unfettered so it would enrage the body politic. It worked.
Similarly, the PEAK OIL (link, link 2) syndrome is the backdrop for the "Second Pearl Harbor" which a republican admin allowed to happen. It gave a valid pretense to invade the middle east and secure oil supplies which increases the security of the US and the western world by controlling the life-blood of the economy and the military - oil.
Therefore the current admin, like the FDR admin, has made a tough decision that will in the long run save american and western lives.
That is the underlying thesis whether one believes it will save more lives in the long run or not.
I am not advocating one side or the other of the argument, I am just setting forth the entire scope of the argument, so it can be seen that the more scholarly conspiracy theorists tie the entire episode to a global military-political world view held by those in power (see e.g. Crossing The Rubicon).

Yes, Dredd, I've considered these arguments. But I take issue with the lying. I think things can be accomplished in a lot of ways. If it were really necessary to wage wars for survival and diminishing resources, then I think the people could be convinced of that.
I don't believe that the Middle East attempted empire is to secure the oil supplies. They are finite and would not mean security. I think there are other factors which merit discussion if you are inclined. I would like to know your opinion.
People who desire power I would think are already looking beyond oil.

I also believe that with the end of the Age of Oil and the nuclear, biological threat we will have to learn a new way of dealing with others. Survival always dictates, and laws of nature, so I believe we will have to evolve to a more cooperative behavior away from primitive brute force. Of course this will take time. It will happen automatically through mutations and changes in brain chemistry. There are always those among us who are a little bit ahead and lead by example.
I even think that the brain changes are starting to occur with all of us through the blogosphere. It is an absolutely new and innovative development. We are seeing, I think, the last of this primitive exercise of power, and in time, people will leave this behind, as it will no longer be useful.

One other little thingy.. one of my wilder theories. I think a lot of this has to do with our evolution as pipedal creatures. As we get further away from being on all fours, reaping from the earth what we need, I think our brains and imaginations will develop in ways we can't even conceive of yet. We will develop means of survival that might not include raping the earth and competing and murdering one other in our perception of limited resources. I think that will change as we recognize newer and further boundaries, and that we are not as limited as we thought.

Re #s 2 & 3
Sadly, It's not difficult for me to imagine that a great number of people would be able to justify to themselves the "necessity" for our government to murder 3000 of its own people for purposes of "national security" or whatever excuse they put foth & endlessly repeat. People seem perfectly capable of justifying alot of things.
Re #5
That theory of yours is a bit too rosy in my estimation. The human race, and especially its leaders, don't have the greatest track record for using our burgeoning knowledge for good purposes.
I do think what you describe is true for a certain amount of people and I hope the number is growing.
The old tug-o-war between good & evil forces at work, which takes place on many levels, I think.

What many of us overlook is that Pearl Harbor was directly linked to oil supplies, too. It's often forgotten that F.D.R. interdicted Japan's access to Indonesian oil, which effectively cut Japan off from a needed import commodity. The Japs took it as a provocation (which it was). Whether F.D.R. expected the actual attack on Pearl Harbor, and/or knew it was coming on 12/7/41, is debatable.
Rev. Griffin, I'm told, breaks down American public opinion into four categories, ranging from #1, which is total acceptance of Bush's policies, to #4, which is that he and Cheney orchestrated the 9/11 attacks. Put me in category #3, which is closest to F.D.R. before Pearl Harbor...he knew something was going to happen, didn't know exactly when, but considered letting it happen to be a valid excuse to do something he wanted to do anyway, wage war.

Teresa #3 You said you take issue with the lying. Of course, without honesty in government there is no democracy nor real freedom of choice. The lie takes away the people's freedom and right to choose.
That is the fundamental problem with the alleged FDR and bu$shite ideology: "The people are not smart enough to figure it out so you figure it out for them and lie about it."
Not good.
RLM #9 Yes all these theories are debatable, and probably all of them are partially right and partially wrong. It is difficult to know the percentages of right and of wrong.
I saw a documentary on Pearl Harbor where it depicted 7 or so warnings that were passed up the chain of command and ignored.
Very good point about Pearl Harbor being about oil.
That is another good reason for using the Pearl Harbor analogy, and for pondering if we are not learning from history and are therefore repeating it ... only with far greater consequences this time.

I can speak for a fact that the US government knew that Pearl Harbor was going to happen, months in advance. (I won't retell the story here in detail, but as a young man he personally saw a telegram to a journalist who was his family's tenant, reassigning him to Hawaii to cover the coming attack on Pearl Harbor. My dad still remembers the words of the telegram to this day.)
In Gore Vidal's book "Dreaming War" he has a chapter on Japanese intentions in WWII and makes a solid case for how Japan was provoked into a situation in which it would have no choice but to attack. This was done so that the US could then convince a reluctant public into going into war.
There have also been documentaries seen over here (Ireland) and elsewhere about how the Australian secret service had also intercepted the Japanese messages and passed them on to the USA.
There is strong evidence that the USA deliberately provoked the Japanese attack.
It is indisputable that the US government knew about the coming attack on Pearl Harbor and could have avoided it, had it wanted to do so. (But being the victim of this attack was perceived as being in the USA's strategic interests, by those in power at the time.)

The comparison to Pearl Harbor is good actually because it points out the difference. Around that event was a madman committing genocide on a massive scale and successfully devastating Europe.
There were incredibly strong feelings of self protection in the people.
In this case, the limited interests of the perpetrators is much closer to the surface and getting more so all the time. The War On Terror has all but disappeared in the minds of the people, and still the memory of the attack looms, all the time becoming more questionable.
The horribly feared enemy is diminishing thus revealing the horrible enemy within.
That could never happen around WW II. It will remain justified for a long time.

Re 11 & 12
Ok, guess my paranoia was showing. Sorry....
Just watched Griffin & he was very thorough, scholarly and careful; quite a marked contrast to some on the right who seem to immediately plunge into shrill fire-&-brimstone rhetoric.
I must say it was somewhat surreal to watch this mild, affable, grandfatherly theologian calmly detailing how the U.S. government *may have* orchestrated the killing of 3000 of its citizens.

I hope everyone saw the C-SPAN broadcast that just ended. I found Rev. Griffin to be entirely credible, and hearing the talk has moved me out of the #3 category into the #4, at least as far as Cheney is concerned.
Bush might not even have been told when it was going to happen, merely knew something untoward was coming. This was at the time when Cheney was holding his top-secret meetings with oil executives; it now appears clear they were talking about how to divvy up the spoils of an invasion.
But this is a historic day, friends. For the first time, the Bush administration has been exposed to the light through a national media source. Griffin said he couldn't get anyone to review his books (too hot to handle), but I can't imagine that the mainstream media can avoid him now. Hallelujah!

I don't remember whether I posted links here or not: one U.K. and one Indian newspaper saying that the U.S. would be invading Afghanistan, in July 2001 and June 2001 respectively. The assumption is that both countries had received secret info and the word had somehow gotten out. I'll look those up again.

The kids took over the main tv, so I got to watch relatively undisturbed at my kitchen table while drinking my morning coffee.
Most of what I heard I had heard before, but the straightforward manner in which it was presented left me angry, and disillusioned, but hopeful that finally, FINALLY, the rest of the country will see these people for what they really are.
I'd like to see a rebroadcast of this, not just on CSPAN, but at Universities and theaters all over the country - preferably free of charge and with MUCH publicity. The majority of the public isn't ready for this, and will never accept it as the truth, but it needs to be out there.
There was one thing brought up that is still troubling me, because I've never seen it explained, maybe someone here can point me to the answer - if, indeed, it was a military plane, and NOT flight 77, that hit the Pentagon (as some convincingly propose) - what happened to flight 77?
The part that bothered me most from the very beginning of all of this was how Bush and the Secret Service behaved on the morning of the attacks. Recent events show what happens when our government REALLY is taken by what they believe is a terrorist attack.
I'm sure you've all heard about the cloud that fooled Bush and Cheney and Secret Service. If not, it's here:

You guys! What a most incredible hour and a half listening to the calming, sane, rational and entirely credible voice of David Ray Griffin. Thank you from the bottom of my heart whoever alerted us to this televised speech.
I called my 80 yr. old parents & had them tune in and they were totally blown away. Griffin corroborates everything I had studied about 9/11 on the net. He has documented the research and in a most reasonable fashion proved who the real tinfoil hatters are!!! (Like we didn't already know.)
Yup - my folks want a 1-pager of Griffin's info with web addresses, his book names & other stimulating info to make copies of and leave everywhere they go. Kinko's here we come!
I doesn't make it any easier to swallow (the gov't lies & willingness to commit murder) but it feels good to hear this sage voice on TV. As people hear - they will question and then we will see more of an uprising. Maybe then we'll see some bucking.

In the last thread, you said it might be time for me to post another fractal, which reminded me that the one I created just after the invasion of Iraq, which I called "Dark Angel," was anything but reassuring! Just brooding and ominous. Heck, I'll try to find a pretty one, but only a few of my thousands are linked.

I like your fractal named "Medallion".
As I look at it, I see "us" (the informed) alive with radiating energy passed from the central core into the circles of cells. It depicts (to me) the energy radiating outward from the outer active cells and into the outer boundaries of the "knowledgable." It is active energy and will continue to stimulate and heat the cool (uninformed.)
I'll bask in my interpretation along with the soothing voice of David Griffin.
Today is much better than yesterday!

KestrelBrighteyes #24 The Pentagon part is the more troubling part to me as well. I have read the differing theories on this and I am still not sure. I don't think that story is right yet. I am not convinced whether or not it was a missle, military aircraft, or Flight 77.
The conspiracy arguments, generally based upon "if this then how come that", which is analytical rational argument, and are not as good as factual evidence arguments.
The other planes and events have much more clarity. For instance I worked on early cell phone technology and do not at all buy the cell phone stories ("lets roll") because there is no way in hell the cell phones would have worked on an airliner at thirty thousand (or above 8,000) feet moving at several hundred miles an hour.
Not gonna happen with the technology in the towers that handle calls in place in 2001. Not even today in rural Pennsylvania. The technology is not designed to work that way.
And the building collapse of the towers and the quick taking away of the debris steel to a foreign nation for meltdown, and the finding of a tiny paper, passport of Mohammed Atta without finding the aircraft's black boxes which are designed to withstand such an event.
Anyway I am not sure of the Pentagon episode but I doubt the official story most of all.
There is one site that agrees with me on this, where they say "the evidence regarding exactly what occurred in the Pentagon attack is ambiguous and difficult to draw clear conclusions from. We do, however, find the official story of the Pentagon attack untenable for a number of reasons" (link here).

Right, Kestrel. Flight 77 had to go somewhere. If it didn't hit the Pentagon, what happened to it? The families of the passengers all know that nobody survived, so if it was a military plane that hit the Pentagon, it means Flight 77 crashed (or was taken down) somewhere else.
What makes Rev. Griffin's suggestion that a military plane crashed into the Pentagon believable is that the damage to the West Wing was too minor to have been possibly caused by a huge passenger plane, a fact that has been published elsewhere numerous times. We don't have to take his word for it. It adds up.
For those who missed it, at the end of his talk Griffin said he expected that the families of 9/11 victims would become more vocal going forward. I'd say that goes double for the families of the passengers aboard Flight 77, specifically.

Also re: plane that hit the Pentagon:
1. The Pentagon has radar set to go off if any plane other than a military plane (which has some kind of transponder - if I remember right - that sends the "hey I'm one of you guys" signal.) That radar didn't go off. Remember Rummy came running out as if surprised and said he thought it might have been a bomb going off. Yeh right, Dumsfeld.
2. The pilot had to be an ace pilot to do the maneuvering required to fly the plane into the Pentagon as it happened. (So - was this plane on auto-pilot?) Where were the pieces? Why can't we see the confiscated video tapes? Why would a terrorist who was acting with spy info choose to attack the Pentagon where there were no military brass?
Are we sure about the supposed passengers? The odd phone calls from the planes (Dredd says couldn't happen anyway...) and the fact that they were instantly connected via a TV personality - from his wife ... ??? There are suggestions that something was odd about that aspect of the story as it unfolded.

Kira #34 Here is a link for some more discussion and experiment about the cell phone events of 9/11.
I read a manual recently concerning how the software in the "towers" or cellsites (cell phone handling stations on the ground everywhere in cities and in the country) works.
This software was designed when the cell phones ("client") were relatively weak, compared to today (now cell phones do games, cameras, email, etc), and therefore much inefficient redundancy is in the "server" - cell towers/cellsites.
Sometimes even today they (cell tower systems) can't handle automobile based cell phone traffic as cars speed up.
It is all the more so in rural areas like in Pennsylvania where the "lets roll" aircraft was flying. There are fewer towers/cellsites for handling non local traffic.
Cars travelling at high speeds (70 mph) will have more trouble than cars going slow (35 mph) cause the phone call is passed from tower to tower as the vehicle moves out of one tower/cellsite range and into another.
If it is moving real fast the towers can't handle the transfer quickly enough and the call "drops".
Imagine the difficulty if the "car" (aircraft) is moving at several hundred miles per hour.
Also fewer towers/cellsites and whether one is headed closer or moving away from the tower/cellsite and at what speed is a factor.
And during the call event the tower/cellsite itself is contacting other tower/cellsites in preparation for a handoff of the call should that be required (if the call continues as the cell phone user moves out of range then a transfer is mandated).
And imagine the added implausibility as the cell phone gets higher and higher in altitude. The cell phone, if the signal was strong enough to reach the ground, would contact multiple towers/cellsites at once and cause failure.
The towers/cellsites would not be able to decide which should handle the signal cause the speed would put it out of range of the first contact before it did all its analysis. This is "cascading".
Also, success of a call anywhere depends on the quality of the tower system (cellsite). In rural Pennsylvania in 2001 the cell system would not be designed for handling calls like in a metropolitan area.
If you can remember travelling across the country in those years, and even today, you get to places where the cell phone will give a message that you are out of your area and at other times you can't call.
This is not because of the cell phone itself, it is due to the quantity and quality of the towers/cellsites.
"Can you hear me now" is a ground concept and once in the air and moving fast the answer would always be "NO" (actually there would be no answer cause the question would not be received by the other party).

re. the Pentagon'
I saw a video tape posted on a site (will try to find it) that seemed to show a missile coming in parallel to the ground at about the height/level of the impact area, something that a cruise missile would be capable of. It was caught by a surviellance camera on the grounds of the Pentagon. I don't recall how it was explained that the tape was aquired, especially since it was noted that Govt. agents had siezed video tape from a nearby gas station immediately after the attack. Looking at the pictures of the impact area, it doesn't take a (excuse the pun) rocket scientist to realize that there is nothing resembling aircraft wreckage to be seen anywhere. On top of that, pictures were shown of the "exit wound" where the missile/plane penetrated into the first inner circular courtyard area between the rings of the building, and what was shown was a very small hole, less than ten feet I would say. It was clear to me that it wasn't something that a commercial aircraft would cause.
On the other hand there were conflicting eyewitness reports from people in the cars on the highway outside the Pentagon as to what they had seen. Some said they saw a commercial aircraft. Others said they saw a military aircraft and I believe some said they saw a missile. Confusing enough without the problem of finding out what really did happen th flight 77.

I think the most important thing Rev. Griffin says, and he does so emphatically in that illusive softspoken way, is that it would be impossible for a handful of people like the so called terrorists to get through the defense system of the most sophisticated and powerful military nation on earth.
He makes it all so obvious when he speaks.

We haven't heard the end of this. I think it is so beautifully ironic that this man of the cloth is using his pulpit as a means to disseminate some real truth that impacts our country and our lives in an earthly way in the midst of all this hypocritical Jesus pandering. He speaks of such important issues in such an astoundingly eloquent way. I love how he states in effect our moral obligation to confront all that desecrates religious teaching in this abuse of power. It is far beyong 911. And it is our responsibility to confront it.
His group is an interfaith organization, Moslems included, assembled to use the 911 incident as a way of uniting in an attempt to use our human selves in an ethical and moral way. It is deeper and bigger that just catching the criminals. The evidence is blaring at us. It is an awakening to become aware of our potential for good in the face of this great human lapse.
If we do that, I think, we will succeed.

I was affected to the marrow by Reverend Griffin. Another so vital thing to realize is how little attention is payed to the gentle and softspoken souls, even though they tell brutal truths.
Most of us are fixated, as in running to look at the gory scene of an accident, on all that is monstrous. We love horror shows, the bloodier and scarier the better. We seem to prefer the hysteria, the screaming, the fear, and the focus on some omnipotent evil. We deify criminals and fixate on them, rather than the people who do good. We simply overlook the quiet ones.
Until we recognize this, how we perpetuate the crimes in a way for entertainment, we will not triumph. We have to look within ourselves for the solution. To master this addiction to the prurient. To learn to walk away.
I will be watching the Reverend closely.

Read all the comments on the above website. There are links I haven't yet tried to an mp3 file, and also to a streaming audio file, and mention that after the broadcast one may be able to stream it from CSpan.

If you look at the website mentioned above (i.e., http://www.911blogger.com/ )
it mentions another interview coming up on May 2 with Karl Schwarz. Links and info are on the website.
To get to the Griffin info you have to scroll down.

I was thinking the same thing, Teresa. Wouldn't it be wonderfully ironic, given all the business about Bush being sent by God to save the world from heathen liberals, if a man of the cloth were to be the architect of his undoing? I suspect that's what will happen here.
It's very Shakespearean, really. I can't remember which play it was, but I think some king who claimed to have divine rights from God was brought down by a minister. I don't think it was St. Thomas More...earlier than that, but after Henry II.

Look at the "project for the new American century"
911 fits the need.
WE pay as gas prices rise but the price rise is ALL profit to the Oil companies.They are all posting record profits !
Beware of the Pentagon attack ,it could be the setup to "bring down" the "Conspiracy Theorists".The video tapes could show a commercial aircraft hitting the building after all.Odd how the Pentagon was hit on the newly renovated section,just completed ,reinforced and with no high level staff in place or killed.
The sercurity tapes taken by the FBI from the gas station and hotel etc. were gathered up within 5 minutes of the impact ,this is a gaint "RED FLAG"

Except the physical evidence doesn't allow for a commercial aircraft to have made that small a dent in the West Wing of the Pentagon.
Of course, they could have already faked that, too.

The trouble with "Conspiracy Theories" is if you line then up like dominoes when one falls they all fall.
IF this is a conspiracy ,the people behind it would be smart enough to anticipate skepticism from a minority of people and would surely put in place “counter- conspiracy” dis-information to be utilized as and when needed to dis-credit any claims of “proof”.

Oh, Robert, that is wonderful that you see things that way. The Shakespeare in it all. The poetic justice.
We are up against so much. The people I talked to today are walking around like zombies in denial, which is just inviting more of the same. I want to throttle them, since it is holding us all back. Endangering us further. But here I have faith. It is so reassuring to be with people who care about our country.
To me, this job was sloppy. It is impossible to buy. And its almost like fate left us so much evidence.
Maybe we could stay updated here as to what Rev. Griff is doing. The more we think about this, the more energy goes into the uncovering of the crime.
I think there are people who want to talk.

The whole thing was a conspiracy theory perpetuated by the government from the very start, when they immediately stated it was Osama Bin Laden who did it. That has never, ever come close to being proven, and yet it has always been accepted belief. It's astounding.

Does anyone sometimes think it would be better not to know/theorize about or think about these things and that maybe "ignorance is bliss".
That saying must have developed in the mind of someone contemplating and experiencing the feelings on the opposite of bliss.
Or I wonder if there is a place where both can exist ... troubling knowledge or ideas and bliss?
I mean, what is the point of knowing things that are disturbing in place of things that are not?
I wonder if it is like the choice of eathing really spicy foods that cause the digestive system some difficulty vs foods that "don't cause no problems"?

Fortunately I was able to get the audio and sat glued to my earphones for the entire presentation. Mr. Griffin was able to put forth in a reasonable and measured way what I have believed all along. I'm very pleased that this has finally been broadcast by a major media entity. It will cause (fingers crossed) many more people to ask themselves difficult and bedrock belief altering questions. I understand and empathize somewhat, emphasis on somewhat, with Americans who struggle with the notion that their own government, one we have been conditioned to believe is all good, all the time, would sacrifice the lives of it's own citizens to further a global grab for money, resources, and power. Clearly we are running out of time and can ill afford to be patient while waiting for the rest of the country to catch up with us *and* the rest of the world. Hopefully this broadcast will be the beginning of a seachange in American popular belief and self centered belief in our "goodness".

Jon Gold #52 The idea of an independent investigation is a good one.
One difficulty in bringing that idea to fruition is finding people that everyone would trust to be independent.
Perhaps the lawsuit going on in Pennsylvania (link here), Rodriguez v Bush could be considered to be that?
A judge and jury might derive different conclusions than the 9/11 commission did.
I am not convinced of the competency of the legal team in that case but in the current Motion To Dismiss paperwork brought by the government (and those filed in response by the defense) in that case, it is pointed out that lawfirms in general do not want to handle the case. As a matter of fact the defense attorney uses that as an argument for why the case should not be transferred to NY (he doesn't have a liscense to practice law in NY and Rodriguez won't be able to find a lawfirm to represent him there).
The competency of the legal team troubles me because if the case sets precedent then the legal team should be of the utmost competence because it is a public matter and not a matter private to the one citizen bringing the action (Rodriguez).
A petition was filed with the NY attorney general asking for such an independent investigation (link here) but as far as I know it has not begun.

If there were an independent investigation, made up of family members (which is what they wanted in the first place), and a few laywers to help with the language, would you trust their judgement? I most certainly would.

Thanks, DZ. Not quite the stuff I saw earlier this year, but encouraging. I'm referring to an article, with many B/W pictures of a turbine part found at the Pentagon, which was NOT, nor could it have been, part of thr supposed passenger aircraft that, purportedly, crashed into the west wall of the Pentagon. There were multiple close-focus images. They have been wiped. 'Nuff said.

Here's my small point. The government spends $400 billion a year on DEFENSE. Rumsfeld is the Secretary of DEFENSE. Where was all this DEFENSE on 9-11? Sibel Edmonds was gagged over matters of "National Security." But, since whatever National Security apparatus was in place on 9-11 didn't work, then how does one compromise a no-good system by talking about it? None of the government's arguments make any sense. They said they didn't "connect the dots" before 9-11. Isn't "connecting the dots" a little kid's game?

For MMIIXX: Conspiracy theories can fall apart, but Rev. Griffin's speech was in a non-theoretical mode. Not, "Here's what I suspect happened...," which is a conspiracy theory, but "Here's what we've been told, and it can't be right, because..."
The burden of proof remains on the government to satisfy us, not the other way around. We're citizens and taxpayers. Really, this is a role-reversal process...it's the Bush administration that has been giving us conspiracy theories ("The twin towers came down because of fire" and "Flight 77 hit the Pentagon" and "Angry passengers caused a plane headed for Washington to crash in Pennsylvania").
The U.S. military, FBI, and CIA are the tin-foil hat wearers here. Rev. Griffin is the voice of reason. We have to persuade the mainstream media to see it that way.

Exactly. That's all you need to look at. And that's what Griffin said. It is ludicrous to think that a handful of terrorists (who never even operate that way) could penetrate the most sophisticated and elaborate military defense in the world. Absurd.

Greetings to u all!! I am a concerned Canadian citizen who is very worried about what is happening in your beautiful country. I regularly read bradblog, buzzflash, cannonfire etc. Thanks to a link at Bradblog, It opened my eyes to the so called "government version" of what happened on 9/11. I agree with Teresa's last statement that "anyone who believes that the US government wasn't complicit is a fool". I am in the category #3 or 4 regarding what Mr. Griffin said about what story we believe. However, there are a couple of issues that are confusing, perhaps anyone here has some input?? One issue is the "Osama" tape that was aired just before your last "faux" election, whereby Osama explains why he caused 9/11, (payback for Israeli,American destruction in Lebanon) How could they "fake" that?? Also, the pictures of Mohammad Atta, and co. going through checkpoints at the airports?? The other point is, wasn't there family members that actually did recieve calls from the flight that crashed in Pennsylvania?? The whole thing REEKS of government complicity, and Kudos to Mr. Griffin for his efforts. Also, I salute u all at Bradblog, You folks truly are fantastic, Thank goodness there is light against all the darkness in your country, I pray the truth will come out, and the "Chimp and co." will pay for their crimes against humanity!! Thanx for your time.

the guy who runs whatreallyhappened.com argues that bin laden is dead, and that the videos are fake.. he has a few articles on it.. these are from that site:
http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/osamatape.html
http://www.whatreallyhap...ened.com/osamatape2.html
http://www.rense.com/general12/ld.htm
the thing i noticed about the last tape is that he made no mention of the plane that crashed in PA, or the one that hit the pentagon.. the one that hit in PA supposively was going to the capital..
as for the family member phone calls, they probably did receive calls, but the most well known of scott beamer was not a conversation between him and his wife, but him and an operator.. and that tape has never been heard.. also, you may want to review the northwoods document which specifically talks about faking emotional phone calls to family members.. also, some of the transcripts have the caller saying things like 'hey mom? this is john smith', a formal introduction to their mother.. most calls were very short and non-specific.. also, you may want to review this study on the feasiblity of phone calls which were origionally claimed to be from cell phones:
http://physics911.ca/mod...ws/article.php?storyid=6
as for mohomad atta, he was real, real crazy.. you may wish to look up the video 'the venice flying circus' by Danial Hopsicker.. you can watch it here:
http://www.madcowprod.com/
hope that helps.. honestly trying to answer questions is virtually impossible without having a real investigation, and testimony under oath or on a lie detector.. what IS easy to do is disprove many parts of the official story.. best of luck.

DZ #86 Many, many thanx for the links and info, I will check out the links u gave right now, but first I wanted to thank you for your help. You are right, until there is an independent investigation, all we can do is "debunk" the official story. In addition to what Mr. Griffin said, wasn't many members of the National guard, or some other similiar govt. agency sent to New York on Sept.10 (and not told why) This is in itself a huge red flag!!

Griffin #81 I wanted to point out, using one segment of the video listings (thanks for posting these), how both sides when arguing an issue can become dogmatic and begin to make "conclusions of ultimate fact", which is a no-no in the circles of high debate. Such as professionally done court cases in federal court and well-done debates in the best universities.
Take for example naming some of the videos with the term "Demolition". This is an arrogant act because it is a "conclusion of ultimate fact". In other words, if there were to ever be and independent inquiry, this form of presentation would not be allowed. The reason is that it is an intellectual coup de etat where one of the advocates of an issue has already done what the independent inquiry has been authorized to do. That is decide if the building was demolished or whether it was destroyed by an aircraft impact and following fire.
It would be just as arrogant for the other side to name the video "South Tower Destruction by Flight x Impact and Subsequent Fire Storm". Either name is wrong because it is biased and has already decided what happened - it has concluded the matter before the authority (the independent inquiry) has even spoken. This is clearly an unworthy enterprise.
I mention it to throw cold water on the passions that inevitably ignite and burn out of control unless cool heads begin to focus on the issues and the evidence. Believe me, in these official and professional debates everything is pretty much contested and both sides will have positions on all the evidence. This is required in thorough investigations.
We do not want to criticize the 9/11 Commission and then turn right around and do exactly as they did.

For Dredd: If we say (as Rev. Griffin said) "A building cannot be reduced to dust either from a fire or from vertical collapse, it requires an explosion...thus the building must have sabotaged," where such a statement is based on scientific knowledge, is that "a conclusion of ultimate fact?"
I don't know if Griffin is right or wrong on the science matter. But assume we interviewed ten scientists, and they all agreed with him. Would you still insist that he has arrived at a conclusion of ultimate fact in saying the building was sabotaged?

Got a fun little story to share:
Today I was troubleshooting a network problem for a local company when I remembered that one of my USB memory sticks that I carry around (with drivers, scripts, common utils, misc. files etc.), has a copy of Griffins presentation on it. Since repairs would take a couple hours I decided to expose my "captive" customers to Griffin as I worked.
Within minutes the entire office had me surrounded asking questions about this man. I left them a copy on the computer I was using, along with links to the C-Span2 schedule and 9-11 sites on the 'net before I finished. When I left the office an employee was already burning Griffin's presentation to CD.
It had never occurred to me before, but my everyday tools can be used to spread the word while getting paid for it!

Torqued, you are exactly in the beat. I got this e-mail tonight:
My own answer to the "what to do" question:
The first step is to get informed. Reading Griffin's two 9/11 books, if you haven't already, is probably the best approach. Then you can join the effort to get this information into the hands of religious leaders and the media. I've done mass mailings to all the churches, synagogues and mosques in my area, south-central Wisconsin, and write to all the local media outlets regularly. (Polite, rational discourse works better than raving about how outrageous it all is--even though it IS outrageous.) I hope to start doing seminars/discussions at houses of worship, and plan to distribute videos of Griffin's talk. The official C-Span video is available (see below); you could record it or buy it, and show it to local folks and/or religious leaders or congregations. We hope to have a better quality video of the same lecture available in the near future.

RLM # 96 Yes. Noone but the Independent Investigative Authority (e.g. a court; judge, jury) has the legitimate purpose of:
1) the acceptance of valid and legitimate evidence
2) fair and impartial consideration of that evidence
3) fair and impartial listening to both sides of the argument
The presenters (e.g. lawyers) cannot do the job of the judge or the jury. They must do:
1) the presentation of valid and legitimate evidence
2) valid advocacy and argument for their belief and position
3) based upon a reasonable position derived from the evidence
The professional presenter, whether for the prosecution or defense, understands that "the jury" is the one that derives the verdict, and they as presenters surely do not.
When a professional begins to do the job of the jury that professional has failed because that presenter has left a hole in the evidentiary presentation.
It is a discipline that takes training, practice, and skill.
I do not expect non-professionals to understand it in those terms ... but I do expect people to be able to be a fair and impartial jury member.
Why? That is who and what juries are composed of. And no one can sit on a jury if biased.
Likewise when a jury member does the job of the presenter that jury person has violated the oath of the juror.
As in all such cases there will be experts at every level who will testify as to both positions. For demolition and against demolition as the cause for the collapse.
The jury will decide who to believe and who not to believe.
No one else has the right to do the jury job, and the jury can't do anyone else's job.

RE: #114
There is a difference when a Grand Jury is considering a case. There is really only one side presented to a grand jury, which is the prosecution side.
In that case the grand jury only considers whether or not there is enough evidence to bring the charge or charges.
In this context that would mean determining whether the 9/11 Commission was valid. And in that context I think the grand jury would say "NO" and would, in effect, order an independent inquiry, by saying the 9/11 Commission should be charged with wrongdoing.
My own experience in the 9/11 matter was like Winter Patriot's, as he explains in his blog.
I "knew" on 9/11 that we were being fed disinformation and I suspected a Pearl Harbor type of affair.
I learned much later that the neocons had been calling for "A New Pearl Harbor" for perhaps a decade before 9/11.
