February 14, 2007 -- Noam Chomsky has signed a petition written by the 9/11 “Jersey” widows calling for the release of classified documents relating to the 9/11 attacks. 


The Muckraker Report has contacted him by e-mail and verified that the individual listed on the
petition is indeed Noam Chomsky.  Chomsky’s name is #6432:



That said, now that Chomsky has agreed to sign the widows’ petition, the Muckraker Report would like to see the following people sign too: Alexander Cockburn and crew at Counterpunch, the editorial staff at the Nation, Michael Moore, Barbara Ehrenreich, Amy Goodman, Maureen Dowd, Frank Rich, Seymour Hersh, Nicholas Leman at the New Yorker, Christopher Hayes, anyone who writes for the Daily Kos, including Kos himself, and the absolutely divine Camille Paglia.

 

Like I said in my article from a few days ago, 9/11 Widows Keep on Asking the Tough Questions, the Jersey widows say that once they have 15,000 signatures on their petition, they’re going to head back to Capitol Hill.  Right now they have 6,600 signatures, 1023 of them in the last 60 hours.  Please e-mail the link of the petition to all your friends.  Ask them to sign and forward the petition to their e-mail contacts.  The Jersey widows have to get 8,400 more signatures.  They need your help.  Come on - give them a hand! 

YOU CAN SIGN THE PETITION AT:

Chomsky the Enigma

“One of the major consequences of the 9/11 movement has been to draw enormous amounts of energy and effort away from activism directed to real and ongoing crimes of state……the 9/11 movement is treated far more tolerantly by centers of power than is the norm for serious critical and activist work.”  -Chomsky-

As much as I'd like to be encouraged, I’m not. It seems plain to me that Chomsky seeks a way to sweep away the issue because it is a hindrance to serious activists investigating real crimes.

Chomsky is taken best with several grains of salt. He may actually be one of the greatest CIA cointelpros of all time.

Oct 2006 Chomsky in his own words...

"One of the major consequences of the 9/11 movement has been to draw enormous amounts of energy and effort away from activism directed to real and ongoing crimes of state, and their institutional background, crimes that are far more serious than blowing up the WTC would be, if there were any credibility to that thesis. That is, I suspect, why the 9/11 movement is treated far more tolerantly by centers of power than is the norm for serious critical and activist work. How do you personally set priorities? That's of course up to you. I've explained my priorities often, in print as well as elsewhere, but we have to make our own judgments."

Chomsky's finally finding his sanity on 9/11

Chomsky is great!  Insightful!  Brilliant researcher on American empire!!  But, until now he's been braindead on 9/11.

What greater crime is there than conducting a false flag attack on your own people, to fool them and the world into two illegal wars that have killed hundreds of thousands of innocent people?

9/11 truth is the most important issue of our generation and future generations.

Muslims all over the world have been the victims of a hate crime called 9/11 and the US media's shameless anti-muslim spin.

People worldwide have been imprisoned and tortured because of 9/11.

America has become a torture state because of 9/11.

Our Constitution has been shredded because of 9/11.

Our treasury has been looted by military industrial and oil interests because of 9/11.

THANK GOD CHOMSKY IS FINDING HIS SANITY ON 9/11, AS HAVE OVER 1/3 OF AMERICANS.

Now we just need to help the others find their sanity.

Chomsky's thinking is flawed...

"...crimes that are far more serious than blowing up the WTC would be, if there were any credibility to that thesis."

That statement doesn't make a lot of sense to me. If the U.S. government (and/or rogue elements thereof) has complicity in 9/11, as many of us believe it does, then 9/11 is a crime inseparable from and in a sense superior to the subsequent horrific crimes it allowed our rulers and their enablers to commit.

In light of this statement, I'd bet Chomsky would be looking to find "incompetence" revealed by the documents, rather than evidence of criminality.

BTW, one positive development of late, IMO, is the fact that Alex Cockburn's site hosted Paul Craig Roberts' recent piece suggesting that the Bush administration may have deliberately destroyed the tapes because they showed an absence of confessions. This suggests to me that Cockburn may be having second thoughts regarding his previously stated position on 9/11, and is beginning to question the U.S. government's version of events. (Unfortunately though, www.antiwar.com still hasn't come around, as it did not publish this particular piece from Roberts. I should say I find it bizarre that Justin Raimondo at Antiwar has been so completely taken in by the "official" conspiracy theory, as he is so keen on the treachery and treason of the first "Pearl Harbor" and other historic government crimes).

Not a "belief" - We KNOW it

"If the U.S. government (and/or rogue elements thereof) has complicity in 9/11, as many of us believe it does, then 9/11 is a crime inseparable from and in a sense superior to the subsequent horrific crimes it allowed our rulers and their enablers to commit."

The U.S. government WAS complicite in 9/11, AND many of us KNOW it was. THEREFORE 9/11 is a crime inseparable from the subsequent horrific crimes it allowed THESE IMPOSTERS and their enablers to commit.

There is NO need to be "politically correct" and polite when dealing with demons.

Petition is now closed.

Over 17,000 signatures are now on the petition, and it says it is closed for further signatures. Don't hold your breath wating for the congress-critters to DO anything with it, though.

Bigger Crimes than 9/11

I appreciate that Chomsky feels there are larger crimes being committed by people within our government than 9/11.  We NEVER hear about American Drug Lords, though planeloads of cocaine arriving here (or crashing elsewhere) are transported with fishy ownership documents who's backtrail always seems to have a CIA component.  If other countries have drug lords, logic demands that their counterparts are receiving the goods here.  The renewed supplies of Opium from our two latest wars are transported to market somehow.  If the rot was not at the top, these folks would have been found out by now.

Don't hold your breath waiting for Chomsky

This article is dated a year ago, and even though that fact does not detract from the importance of him supporting 9/11 truth in some way, I don't see Chomsky stepping up to the plate and doing very much for truth and justice regarding this issue.

I've actually seen and read interviews where Noam Chomsky comes right out and says, "It's not important who is behind 9/11, there are so many other things these people are guilty of...other things are more important." or "it's just an Internet thing". Sorry Noam - I believe it is THE most important thing. My blood boils every day when I read a news piece about the War of Terror or anything to do with the Department of Homeland Criminals, or especially the frequent reports about another one or two hundred Iraqis dead or wounded.

You have the unmitigated gall to insinuate that it is not important when our own soldiers are giving their lives away based on this horrible lie? I'm sickened to think that some people can be so callously indifferent or morally bankrupt not to connect the obvious dots in this situation. Moreover, why should it be such a mental stretch for anyone to even imagine that the US government was complicit in 9/11 when we have so much declassified material showing their guilt in perpetrating such acts. We know as a matter of historical fact that the Gulf of Tonkin and many others were false-flag operations, self-inflicted wounds - we know they are more than capable of it and it is a technique used by military powers since ancient times. This is not some ludicrous idea, and to pull out the old utility-knife catch phrase "conspiracy theory" and smear anybody who questions the official doctrine is not only offensive - it represents the shoddiest form of logic I can imagine.

puzzling

I agree that was a poor choice of Chomsky words.  I would have prefered that he timed his stupendously brilliant take on American politics EXACTLY with 9/11, since 9/11 is THE supreme traitorous atrocity of the George Bush Administration.  It's when we lost our soul as a nation.   Chomsky has a way of seeing about 15 layers deeper into the dynamics of our society than nearly all Americans, so I don't doubt that he is also looking at horrors not even talked about.  Nevertheless, whatever his intentions the LAST thing we need is a rather airy fairy discount of that monstrous day.  I too shudder in horror every time I think of this INSIDE JOB.  My God, that was beyond ordinary crime, it was something sunk into organized crime and the neo Nazis.  ULTIMATE horror, betrayal, and filth.

Interesting - being MIT & Chomsky are implicated in 9/11

according to David Hawkins. This is a very interesting development. A plant? Does he realize the crime is being uncovered and trying to cover his bases?

I don't know what to believe anymore, but check it out for yourselves and let me know what you think.
