The ability of otherwise rational people to continue to bury their heads in the sand when it comes to the glaring problems with the U.S. government’s official story of the attacks of 9/11 . . . appears to be nearing a rapidly escalating end.
Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels stated at the Nuremburg War Crimes Trials, “Propaganda is not meant to fool the intelligencia, it is merely meant to provide them an excuse to avoid seeing ugly realities, they’d sooner not believe.”
On April 10, 2008, the New York Sun Newspaper reported on a new U.N. Human Rights Council official assigned to monitor Israel, who is calling for an official commission to study the role neoconservatives may have played in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.The Sun reported that the UN official calling for the 9/11-neocon link study, who was unanimously appointed to his UN position on March 26, is Richard Falk, Milbank professor of international law emeritus at Princeton University.
This explosive development builds on a growing tsunami of such demands.Years ago former German national minister and parliamentarian Andreas Von Bulow, was joined by UK former national minister and parliamentarian, in stating that the evidence indicates that 9/11 was orchestrated by elements within the U.S. government.
Around that time I had the opportunity to interview Paul Hellyer, who served as a Canadian Minister of National Defence.In that role Hellyer was very familiar with normal NORAD Air Defence procedures, and expressed to me his deep concern that the US Air Force was mysteriously absent on the morning of 9/11, and that he felt an urgent need for a new investigation.
Since then hundreds of military, intelligence, engineering, architectural, and government experts have come out publicly doubting the official story, and many saying outright that the evidence indicates that elements of the U.S. government had to have executed the attacks of September 11, 2001. Their statements are available for viewing at www.PatriotsQuestion911.org.
The tsunami of international suspicion preceding this week’s explosive demand by the U.N. official, appeared to have crested and begun its crushing descent in the last few weeks, which began when Japanese Senator Fujita grilled the Japanese Prime Minister on national television for nearly 30 minutes.In that time Fujita laid out and presented graphics indicating that the American government had not only lied to Japan about 9/11, but that pointed to likely US government involvement in the attacks.Fujita stated that many ministers of the Japanese Parliament thanked him for his courage and expressed their own suspicions of the US Government’s official 9/11 story.
This was followed by Italian European Parliamentarian, Guilietto Chiesa, who invited his colleagues at the European Parliament, and the press, to attend the screening and debate of the Italian-produced documentary named ‘ZERO, an investigation into the events of 9/11’.Chiesa too has indicated that other parliamentarians share his concerns about the official story about 9/11, who are yet to go public with such concerns.
This jives with my experience when years ago, as the Director of National 911 Visibility, I began corresponding with Paul Lannoye, a European Parliamentarian who represented Belgium.The result of our communications was revealed in the following letter, Parliamentarian Lannoye later released on24 May, 2004
Dear World Legislators, Parliamentarians, and World Citizens,
We have watched with alarm that the sad and tragic events of 9-11 (11 September, 2001) have resulted in two wars and a global rollback in civil liberties. Iraq had nothing to do with the 9-11 attacks, yet it has been attacked in the name of them. People in countries worldwide have suffered reduced civil liberties in the name of 9-11, and intelligence surveillance of ordinary citizens has expanded dramatically.
I submit to you that before any more wars are launched or liberties are lost in the name of the "war on terror" launched by the Bush Administration after 9-11, a full international inquiry into the events leading up to and on 9-11 be held, which includes 9-11 victims' family members from the U.S. and other nations.
The National Green Party of the United States has requested an open independent 9-11 investigation that would involve 9-11 victims' family members. This is a good start, but it must also be an international inquiry in addition that includes 9-11 family members from nations worldwide who lost loved ones in the 9-11 attacks.
We need this to occur because many, including the 9-11 Family Steering Committee (U.S.), are growing increasingly frustrated with the stunning lack of hard questions for witnesses appearing before the 9-11 Commission. Until these hard questions are asked and fully answered, we should refuse more wars, and renounce reduced liberty worldwide in the name of 9-11 and it's resultant war on terror . . .
. . . I implore legislators, parliamentarians, and citizens worldwide to become involved in the global 9-11 Truth Movement by signing up at www.911Visibility.org and www.911Truth.org. These organizations have worked with 9-11 family members, and citizens worldwide to lobby government, media, and the 9-11 Commission to demand truth, and to hold public actions to educate the world about the apparent 9-11 cover up.
By William E. Douglas, Jr., who is author of "The Amateur Parent – A Book on Life, Death, War & Peace, and Everything Else in the Universe." Bill has been a guest columnist for the Kansas City Star, The Business Journal, and other media worldwide. His past essays include, "Exposing the 9/11 Conspiracy Wingnuts," "The Explosion of the 9-11 Truth Movement -- US Media's Dirty Little Secret," "Good Night, and Good Luck - WMD, NIST, Popular Mechanics, 9/11 and Media Crimes" and also "Why the Jewish Community Should Demand 9/11 Truth."
"..the bigger the lie", the easier it is for the masses to believe it. The Nazis high command got the good Germans to believe anything, especially when it's repeated over and over, something like "catapulting the propoganda". Then the cold, hard reality starts setting in. Those 3 buildings came straight down in less than 10 seconds each at free fall. What looks like controlled demolitions can't be anything else, even if Bushco repeats it over and over again, the planes, the fires.
Richard Gage has urged participation in the "Week of Truth"
"The Shell Game reveals in fiction the dark truth of government sponsored false flag terrorist attacks. This read may be a Trojan horse of reality - a final wake-up call to slumbering Americans - to examine and to expose the secret agenda of their own government before they no longer have the right to do so." -- Richard Gage, AIA, Architect

Great Job Bill. I look forward to getting a copy of "The Shell Game". MLK said, "The arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice." Truthers, standing up against the naive, yet understandable, denial of so many citizens, are doing a great job of "bending" that arc. That is the work we must all continue. Thanks for your efforts.

I meant to mention that the 911 Truth movement will be well represented at the WPA conference... Find out more by clicking on the banner ad on top of the OpEd page.
We need to build a new world on a foundation of truth. Not enough answers have been truthfully given to resolve the serious concerns of millions of citizens. We just want some simple answers to some basic questions that have been consistently avoided and ignored.

Court Cases in the US District Court, Southern District of New York, with Attorney Jerry Leaphart:
**Dr Judy Wood, suing on behalf of the United States of America and demanding a Trial by Jury, has evidence that Directed Energy Weapons were a causal factor in the destruction of the World Trade Center:
Docket No. 1:07-cv-03314-GBD Title: Dr. Judy Wood ex rel. USA vs. Applied Research Associates, Inc. et al. Venue: United States District Court, Southern District of New York Judge: George B. Daniels
** Dr Morgan Reynolds, suing on behalf of the United States of America and demanding a Trial by Jury, has evidence that the Media broadcasted cartoons of an airplane hitting the South Tower:
Docket No. 1:07-cv-04612-GBD Title: Dr. Morgan Reynolds ex rel. USA vs. Science Applications International Corp. et al Venue: United States District Court, Southern District of New York Judge: George B. Daniels
PRESS RELEASE: 9/11 Qui Tam Jurisdictional Challenges Filed - 2/29/08 - Two Qui Tam cases - U.S. District Court, SDNY -- 9/11 related - One alleges Twin Towers destroyed by Directed Energy Weapons - Other alleges No Planes hit the towers - Directed energy weapons toxic effects continue at Ground Zero:
PRESS RELEASE: Scientists See WTC - Hutchison Effect Parallel - On a Washington DC local radio station, WPFW, Scientists discuss true nature of destruction of WTC Complex on 9/11 and conclude it was related to a known effect:
The connection between the central claim of the plaintiff herein and the defendant, Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) is clear and apparent. SAIC assigned John Eichner to lead SAIC’s team assigned to the NIST, NCSTAR 1 project. The public record confirms that John Eichner has expertise in the development and testing of instrumentalities and apparatus that are used in directed energy weapons (DEW), as confirmed by a number of publicly available technical journals.
…
...it is to be noted that SAIC has been notified that plaintiff is aware of SAIC’s involvement in the following activities, among other activities, that have a bearing upon this case:
A–SAIC has been present and involved in GZ cleanup from 9/11/01 to the present. B–SAIC is a manufacturer, tester, and developer of Directed Energy Weaponry (DEW). C–SAIC is involved in research, development and implementation of psychological warfare tactics and a wide variety of psychological operations (collectively, psy ops) and has been so engaged in such operations at all times relevant to this matter. D–SAIC currently exercises control of ingress to and egress from GZ in its capacity of having control of the ’security’ of the site. E–SAIC is aware that GZ, which includes the Bankers Trust building site, has not been remediated and that what Dr. Wood refers to as ‘fuming’ is among the indicators of the need for ongoing remediation. F–Administrative control of and responsibility for NIST’s NCSTAR1 project was given over to SAIC.

Yes, I've heard of many people ordering 2 or three copies of "The Shell Game" to purchase at their book stores between April 16 to 22nd. In fact, someone emailed me and told me he was buying "10" copies during the Week of Truth.
It will be a fascinating event to see what happens when a nation of people wanting truth about 9/11 buy-in to catapult a voice who's willing to ask the tough 9/11 questions, onto the national media scene to add to this wave of questions coming out around the world.

“I am being kept informed via [Project Censored] about the Week of Truth April 16-22. I have already purchased four copies of Shell Game and during the Week of Truth I will purchase ten more and ship 'em out to friends and family. This is such a great way to get organized and get practical. Let's make a difference." -- Tim

The truth movement has been attempting to educate the public on the clear scientific case that the Twin Towers and Building 7 were brought down with explosives planted in the buildings. Structural steel buildings have never collapsed due to fire of any size or duration and the fires in the towers on 9/11 were miniscule compared to many other fires in high rises that did not collapse. The collapse of the twin towers went against all prior knowledge and experience of the structural integrity of steel frame buildings.
Added to this anomaly is the widely perceived theory of collapse known as the 'pancake theory' which was graphically illustrated on a PBS documentary that contends that each floor collapsed as it was struck by the weight of the floor above it. The 'pancake theory' has been discredited on many different levels:
(1) Evidence of pancaking floors cannot be seen in any of the videos of the collapses.
(2) The length of time of the collapse corresponds with near free fall speed which directly contradicts the time required for each floor to strike the floor below in a progressive collapse.
(3) A steel frame building has never pancaked due to fire. The only few examples we have of pancaked buildings occurred during earthquakes and most tall buildings that fall from earthquakes tip over and don't pancake straight down.
(4) No evidence of stacked pancaked floors were seen at the bottom. Instead, the concrete in the floors were pulverized to dust and big craters were left at the bases of the buildings.
Scientific cases for explosives in the WTC buildings have been made by architect Richard Gage:
However many people are distrustful of scientists and scientific theories, or rather than look at the facts presented, people would prefer to point to the fact that a majority of scientists and engineers are not protesting 9/11. That lack of protest by many scientists and engineers is seen as proof that any criticism of the planes bringing down the WTC or criticism of the 'pancake theory' must be invalid. However, in order to reach an informed decision of how the towers fell requires a number of steps to be taken:
(1) A willingness to question information presented on network news or information presented by the government.
(2) The time and effort to find solid alterative information and theories.
(3) The critical thinking skills required to compare the alternative information with the information on the network news in a point by point manner to evaluate flaws in the narrative of the official story.
It should not be surprising that many scientists and engineers have not taken the steps required to make an informed decision on the facts of 9/11.
Given these widespread objections to the scientific analysis of the WTC from people who distrust all science or distrust any idea that isn't advocated by all scientists, the 9/11 truth movement has hit a roadblock. I believe that in order to get past this roadblock the truth movement must present compelling eyewitness testimony.
There is maintenance man William Rodriguez who heard and felt an explosion in the basement of the WTC seconds before the first plane hit. His story has been cooberated by more than a dozen others.
There is John Schroeder, FDNY who saw explosions coming out of the lobby elevator and said that the ground floor lobby looked like a bomb had exploded there. The thick glass windows of the lobby were blown out.
In the face of an obvious and dangerous lie, there are a number of things a coward can do about it:
1. embrace it
2. pretend like he never heard it
3. ignore it
Congratulations to Richard Falk who did none of the above.
Revealing what happened on 9/11/01 is of primary importance to the American public that way 75% of them can do something about it. Sadly 25% of them are completely beyond reach and will always choose to believe the voice of 'authority' against truth and facts.
In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." – Mark Twain

Many thanks Bill and all who have worked hard these last 6+ years to expose those who are responsible for the attacks on 9/11.
I have read The Shell Game as well as many opposing views online to the 'official' government report of 9/11 and am pleased to know international communities question the Bush Administration's 'proof' that the attacks were the result of terrorists.
The day of reckoning is drawing close and with that day, the hope those responsible for the attacks will be held accountable in the international court for crimes against humanity!
May justice prevail!
Thanks again Bill! (cyber ^^^5^^'s)

April 16th thru April 22ndis an opportunity of a lifetime, aWeek of Truthto help Steve Alten's book, THE SHELL GAME, reach in the top ten of the NY Times best-seller list. This could be huge! Most all 9/11 truth leaders, artists, activists, research scientists, engineers, filmmakers, educators, are supporting this by buying two books during the week of April 16-22. The Shell Game is a real thriller that could ignite a new 9/11 investigation, and preempt another deception-war, or prolong occupation. Visit weekoftruth.org for more information and learn why this action could make such a difference!
Following the Week of Truth to the end of May, Flyby News and others are planning to support the collecting of 100,000 signatures from NYC voters in support of a Referendum Vote on national Election Day, November 4, 2008 to engage a new 9/11 Commission to investigate what really happened on September 11, 2001. The results of this initiative could be the most direct path (without Media or government sponsorship) to end the occupation-war, and return civil liberties. Please share this website with anyone you know who lives or works in NYC. Also, one can donate The Shell Game or funds to help support this campaign – www.NYC911initiative.org
For video-audio of the author talking about this campaign; and for flyers, banners, and buying The Shell Game, while benefiting Feal Good Foundation, please spread the word:
The Shell Game is a good read, as well as being informative about some critical issues facing people today.
And Bill Douglas has done a great job of putting together the initiative called the Week of Truth. I'm looking forward to seeing the book in the top ten!

Social psychologists and other social scientists haven't as yet realized it, but the silence and lies of the MSM, and the enthusiastic denial of what is right in front of their eyes by up-to-now normal people, on such a large scale, has got to be one of the most amazing social phenomena of all time.
