KUCINICH 9-11 HEARINGS DELAYED

October 1, 2007
 
In June, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) promised that his congressional committee would hold new 9-11 hearings "sometime in September." These hearings were to focus on specific narrow aspects of 9-11 which, incredibly, have never been properly looked into, such as the unprecedented short-selling of airline stocks just prior to September 11, 2001.
 
These hearings have now been postponed until further notice.
 
"It's not going to happen in 2007," says a spokesperson for the House Subcommittee on Domestic Policy, which Kucinich chairs. But Natalie Laber, Kucinich's press representative, notes that while "nothing scheduled right now," the hearings are not dead or off the table. "We announce the schedule two weeks in advance," says Laber, who adds that it's better to contact them directly for scheduling updates than the committee itself, since committee assistants do not always have the most up-to-date information.
 
Pressed for an update this week, Kucinich said in a video posted on www.911blogger.com from Student Scholars for 911 Truth, "I have a small committee which is gathering information from various sources. We're trying to refine exactly where we're going to take it. I'd like to ask some questions. I feel that the American people deserve that. Do I think that the 9-11 investigation ought to be reopened? Absolutely." But Kucinich would not offer a time frame.
 
911truthLA.org's Kathleen Ferrick Rosenblatt urges Kucinich to make good on his word. "The Brussels mass march of 9/11 Truthers give us hope that there are some people on the planet who are informed and not compromised by threats to their livelihood for speaking out," says Rosenblatt. "(Kucinich is) the most presidential, most powerful, and most intelligent of the candidates. I would think a bold move toward a new investigation would be just the strategy needed (to put him ahead of the other Democratic candidates.)"
 
Campaign insiders who have spoken to Elizabeth Kucinich in recent weeks have stated that the candidate's wife insists the hearings will take place. But when is anyone's guess. In the meantime, rumblings on the blogs indicate some progressives feel that the hearings have been canceled either from political pressure or because it's a hot potato issue which could be tricky for a presidential candidate to take on.

911truth.org's Mike Berger says it's up to progressives to crank the pressure up not just on Kucinich but all our elected representatives. "
We are encouraging our grassroots groups (http://www.911truth.org/page.php?page=grassroots_contacts), in addition to the other significant education and outreach work they're doing, to repeatedly lobby their representatives, at home and in DC. The grassroots lobbyists will present them with strongest, verified information. They will also ask for support for Kucinich (and) demand a reinvestigation. We hope that continued pressure will result in hearings."

It is not surprising

that Kucinich finds it necessary to delay hearings.  The Ron Paul campaign has many 9/11 supporters but Paul's camp will not entertain any discussion of it.

I still feel that anyone wanting a truthful investigation of 9/11 would do well to support Ron Paul.  http://RonPaul.meetup.com

Reply: Ron Paul

Another address is RonPaul2008.com.   Ron Paul's RECORD is easily accessable by looking at that site and clicking on his congressman Ron Paul link.  

A candidates RECORD is very important in that it tells what he truly believes not just what he claims during a compaign.

This raises a red flag

I fear for his safety.  People get "suicided" when they refuse to be silenced.  No trips in small planes.  He should get his car brakes, steering, etc. checked before every use.

The Best Way to Get a New 9/11 Investigation...

...is to support those who are actually pursuing one.

 

Drs Wood and Reynolds have filed legal challenges with the help of attorney Jerry Leaphart, which provide an excellent opportunity for a new investigation. They stand behind their work and have submitted through proper legal channels.

Anyone else having scientific proof should follow through. Anyone having a smoking gun should submit to proper governmental agencies as Drs Wood/Reynolds already have.

See Here for Full Information on Drs Wood/Reynolds' Legal Proceedings:

http://drjudywood.com/articles/NIST/NIST_RFC.html
http://nomoregames.net/index.php?page=911&subpage1=federal_case

 

Dr Wood is the only 9/11 Research Scientist to get NIST to confirm the statement in their own report of not having analyzed the "collapses" of the towers. This confirmation comes in NIST's response to Dr Wood's Request for Correction, both of which are archived here.

The relevant quote from the Chief, Management and Organization Division at NIST to Dr Wood is as follows:

"As stated in NCSTAR 1, NIST only investigated the factors leading to the initiation of the collapses of the WTC towers, not the collapses themselves."

 

For those who don't know... Dr Reynolds already has a Court Case filed and is demanding a Trial by Jury. See links above!

 

Dr Judy Wood and Dr Morgan Reynolds are actually doing something!

They deserve our full support.

Reply: Roncorvus is Obviously Part of the "Mainstream" Truth Crowd

Little does roncorvus know he's being taken complete advantage of and being used by the 9/11 perpetrators.

The "truth movement" is controlled by the 9/11 perpetrators. Lenin, the first Communist dictator after the takeover of Russia in 1917, is widely credited with the following quotation, "The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves."

These mainstream truthers have been conditioned into thinking that the idea of "no planes hitting the towers" is crazy. They have been conditioned into thinking it's disinformation. But fact is, it's based on simple Laws of Physics. People need to look at the information for themselves!

As far as the First Responders seeing/hearing aircraft, one must look at this new, recently compiled analysis of FDNY/EMS statements. Very few of them report seeing and hearing commercial airplanes hitting the towers! In fact, some saw missiles, and some saw nothing but an explosion.

Here's the link to the new report. Be sure to download the mp3 interview as well.

So, don't fall for these brainwashed "mainstream truthers". Look at the evidence for yourselves and don't let anyone discourage you from doing so!

The truth is out there.

To find out the truth about 911 we need Kucinich.  He has taken on the issues that I consider important. 

As for Ron Paul, it seems that he doesn't have supporters that are capable of writing Blogs in support of their candidate.  So they try to align themselves with the news about Dennis Kucinich by tagging articles and blogs about Dennis Kucinich.

It seems that they want Ron Paul to be like Dennis Kucinich.  I guess that is a complement of sorts.

Ron Paul

Not only does Ron Paul not support investigating 911, he doesn't support impeaching Bush and Cheney either.
