Colonel Bowman, Joel Hirschhorn, Professor Griffin, many other outstanding engineers, scientists and just simple citizens think there is a lot of fishy stuff going on about the official version of the 9/11 event. They do not believe all those official reports, point at the obvious inconsistencies and demand a new, independent investigation. Why? They will get nothing from it. Moreover, such activity places them on the collision course with the political honchos currently at power and those had already proven such their ‘nice’ qualities like vindictiveness, deceit, ruthlessness and total lack of any conscience. Then why? What are they trying to accomplish? If by any chance a new investigation reveals something, so what? We are at war! Osama himself did not deny that his people did it. Case closed. Let’s kick some butt!

There is only one reason why those people engage in those endeavors: they are free. Freedom is a spirit; it not provided but it is either in you or not. The environment to nurture that spirit can be provided and the people we are talking about are the product of that environment- they are the real, quintessential Americans if I ever saw ones.

Once and for all they declined to be fed that BS and opted for the truth seeking.

That commitment is based on the great American feature- the fearlessness of the free individual, the self- confidence of the professional who knows that he/she can not only survive but prosper on his/her own by the application of his/her skills only. Yes, that individualism, that perseverance of the shrewd loner is the source of that behavior and if we want to praise something uniquely and most valuably American we should appreciate the DARE and bless the ones who are not afraid to go against the flow. They unite, they can become a many but it takes only one, everyone alone to make the first step. Those people are Americans, the products of the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

They stay tall like that great man Cinque from the movie Amistad, a free man, chains or no chains. And that spirit of freedom matters the most. Oh, it matters a lot!

In 1934 in Russia, on 12/1 Sergei Kirov, the prominent communist administrator was murdered in his office by a communist, a certain Nicholaev. In about a day or two Stalin’s prosecutors published the ‘results’ of the ‘accelerated investigation’ stating that it was a complex terrorist plot of the internal party opposition and the ‘remnants of the capitalists’. Thousands were exiled, hundreds were shot and it was only a start of the machine. And millions went to the meetings demanding ‘death to the traitors’ and immediate and swift retaliation, similar to what we heard here right after 9/11. Only in Russia there was no 12/1 truth movement, no demands for a special investigation and no open doubts. Those who doubted did not go public. That is because the Russian history developed not the free- spirited but survivors. No, Russian people are not worse than Americans. But their unfortunate experience did not show that the one individual could live on his/her own without others and survive. So when they smelled the blood in the air they rushed to join together, to disappear in the collective, to dissolute. That cost them dearly this time. By 1956 when the Special Commission found out that the Kirov murder was most likely a provocation designed by Stalin himself not only the dictator was dead but 27 million died in the horrible war and many millions of innocent people perished in the hands of the govt terror. It was a hard lesson to learn, Their poet said once , ’One is nothing, one is zero’ and they desperately tried not to be zeroes to discover that in that trap of the surrender of their individuality they let themselves to be exterminated one-by-one.

Colonel Bowman and others of the 9/11 Truthers KNOW that the Russian poet was wrong. They KNOW that they are not zeroes. They KNOW that they are BIG and no one can take that away from them. That’s the blessing.

So blessed be the Ones with the Free Spirit because their will be the Kingdom of Justice.

Godspeed to you, folks! His truth is marching on.

 

A writer is a rogue goose. All other gees fly in a flock formation; every goose knows his place and time for honking. The rogue goose is undisciplined. He leaves the formation indiscriminately to have a look at it from aside. He roams back and forth, takes a peep at the leader, honks a little bit from behind, distracts everyone and writes on what he sees. Time passes and as he wants to return back to his place he discovers someone else there. Thus he either has to wait until they land for rest or join another flock in emigration. Those other birds could be cranes, storks or even crows. If he makes it he will become a rogue again. Whenever he goes and whatever he writes he never reaches a destination or enjoys a landing. There's only Kipling's God of Fair Beginnings and skies above and beyond. And the only way for a writer to make peace with the Deity is through the language of Poetry

The censors of the 9/11 Untruth Movement

Griffin, Jones, Hirschorn and Co. are censors, linked to U.S. Government and thinktanks related with Defense. They block willingly the evidence on  9/11 TV Fakery and facts on directed energy weaponry.

OpEdNews has increased participation into this cover-up lately.

I wonder if the success of 9/11 TV Fakery Mashuppers has anything to do with it.

It is not my impression. As for the energy weapons I read the Russian media in Russian language and many of them hate Bush and have no reason to cover up anything. But so far none of them had mentioned energy weapons, even the most ardent nationalists. They do agree that 9/11 was staged though.

I consider the whole movement in need to transform to the movement for the trial but no matter I still stick that free spirit is there. Of course, you, sir have that spirit too as you dare to question the authorities.
Thanks

russian media corrupted too

the russian media is as controlled as any other media worldwide.

Russia is one of the main profiteers from 9/11, so is Gazprom.

I was removed by pravda forum in 2005 after i spoke out about the infiltrators in the 9/11 untruth movement.

What is "russian media" saying about or 'against' 9/11 tv fakery evidence?

nothing nada zilch. Don't fruitloop on me.

I have mixed feelings about the 9/11 Truthers. On the one

hand, I'm open to many of their ideas (though on balance my own position is closer to what has been called "LIHOP" -- "Let it happen on purpose"-- rather than MIHOP).

What bothers me about many of the Truthers is not their commendable determination to investigate the official version of 9-11, which clearly has tons of holes in it. It's that many of them evince a cult-like zealousness & unjustifiable singleness of focus, whereby they basically insist that "9-11 Truth" is the only issue that matters.

I often go to lectures on various political topics. Invariably, during Q & A, and regardless of whether the lecture had anything to do with 9-11 or not, one of the first questions is always by some 9-11 zealot, who stands up & tries to convert the lecturer's topic into a discussion of 9-11. The underlying assumption here is that "only 9-11 matters;" nothing else is important.  // One often sees this same phenomenon on threads at liberal/left websites, including OpEdNews. (In fact, one will probably see it on this thread.)

Trying to understand the world solely in terms of 9-11 is childish & untenable. Well before 9/11 ever happened, and in fact long before the Bush Gang stole the 2000 election, the United States was already a wasteful, hypercommercial & very unequal society, basically being run by Wall Street and the military-industrial complex. It had already been overthrowing democratically-elected governments around the world for more than 50 years; had a fake pseudo-democracy at home; & had a propagandized population kept chronically in the dark by the corporate media. Thus, even if 9-11 had never happened, most of what's truly terrible about America would still be there right in front of us.

It's certainly true that the event of 9-11 was used to greatly accelerate already-malignant trends inside US society. But these trends were already very visible, & would have existed even if 9-11 never happened. They should be understood in a context far broader than discussions of steel melting points, etc. // In other words, a serious discussion of what's wrong with America is not primarily a discussion of 9-11. It's a discussion of history, & an analysis of capitalism, focusing on the organization of society & the distribution of wealth & power.

 SEE THE LAST COMMENT (FROM ABOVE LINK) WHERE I LAY OUT PATRICKS LIFE AND MY SEQUENCE OF EVENTS WHERE HE WAS THE RIGHT AGE AND IN THE RIGHT PLACE FOR WHAT HE TOLD ME TO BE TRUE AND FOR WHAT HE SAID
WHICH IS NOW VERIFIED BY E. HOWARD HUNTS DEATHBED CONFESSION BELOW

JFK Murder Plot "Deathbed Confession" Aired On National Radio
Former CIA agent, Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt names the men who killed Kennedy


Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Monday, April 30, 2007

The "deathbed confession" audio tape in which former CIA agent and Watergate conspirator E. Howard Hunt admits he was approached to be part of a CIA assassination team to kill JFK was aired this weekend - an astounding development that has gone completely ignored by the establishment media.

Saint John Hunt, son of E. Howard Hunt, appeared on the nationally syndicated Coast to Coast AM radio show on Saturday night to discuss the revelations contained in the tape.

Hunt said that his father had mailed cassette the tape to him alone in January 2004 and asked that it be released after his death. The tape was originally 20 minutes long but was edited down to four and a half minutes for the Coast to Coast broadcast. Hunt promises that the whole tape will be uploaded soon at his website.

Click here to listen to a clip of the tape.

E. Howard Hunt names numerous individuals with both direct and indirect CIA connections as having played a role in the assassination of Kennedy, while describing himself as a "bench warmer" in the plot. Saint John Hunt agreed that the use of this term indicates that Hunt was willing to play a larger role in the murder conspiracy had he been required.

Hunt alleges on the tape that then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was involved in the planning of the assassination and in the cover-up, stating that LBJ, "Had an almost maniacal urge to become president, he regarded JFK as an obstacle to achieving that."

I think many of us are tired of division politics.

It does none of us any good.
We need politicians who want to do the real business of we the people.
Will honesty win ?
It will if WE are honest.
If many of us continue seeking a winner versus honesty we all lose.

""People who own races horses try to own all the ponies in the race. That way they can't lose, while the masses in the stands losa at the hands of these owners""
For many many years thats is what the group Bilderberg has done and so we the people in the stands can't see the bigger picture and most of us get taken to the cleaners.
I am tired of being controlled and the only way we can win is to not play their game and elect a president who isn't controlled by the powers to be.
In my research of facts i have found that kerry
edwards were also bilderberg candidates (as were Bill
Clinton
and Al Gore) and with edwards pushing far left
and hillary pushing far right as they both play in the
democratic field, Edwards is just trying to break down
voters who would otherwise join Barack in his campaign
but i think eventually that tactic will falter. Barack
who is not in the middle, but in the Truth, will, with
his ability to unite versus using division, bring him
to a positive finish.

Its just up to us to educate the citizenry to this
understanding and we should do so in the same Fashion
as Barack has taught us.

I am Barack Obama you are Barack Obama we are Barack
Obama.


FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT FAMILAR WITH BILDERBERG PLEASE
READ MY RESEARCH.


THE BIGGER PICTURE OUTSIDE OF USA AND OUR DOMESTIC
ISSUES

please understand yes we all have our own personal
issues but we need to look at the bigger world picture
and how for over 50 yrs the USA has been guided by the
"POWERS TO BE"

You might think in terms of your local community and
how presidents have affected your life and well i
understand that but you need to see barack is looking
at the world picture firstly then he will be able to
help local issues in our communities.

BARACK OBAMA GIVES WE THE PEOPLE A CHRISTMAS PRESENT OF A TRANSPARENT GOVERNMENT.
 
"USAspending.gov Barack Obama's New Gov Site + His reform track record + Best Of Obama's Transparent Gov Bills" http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/danielleclarke/CB44

Today Dec 13th 2007 witnessed the launch of USAspending.gov,= http://www.usaspending.gov/
 which was created by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Funding_Accountability_and_Transparency_Act_of_2006
by Tom Coburn and Barack Obama. The site enables tracking of $1 trillion in federal spending on contracts, grants, earmarks, and loans. The bill faced serious opposition, including anonymous holds by some of the biggest porkbarrel spenders (including Ted Stevens), but in the end, Coburn and Obama prevailed.
So what kind of data does this site give us? Well, how about the top 100 recipients of federal money, = http://www.usaspending.gov/fpds/tables.php?tabtype=t2&subtype=t&year=2007
 or say which congresspeople rake in the most pork. =  http://www.usaspending.gov/fpds/tables.php?tabtype=t1&subtype=at&rowtype=d
And that's just scratching the surface.
And, to my surprise (especially for a government site), an API is available  =  http://www.usaspending.gov/apidoc.php
to make it easy to extract data.
Read on for more examples and some implications.
USAspending.gov and Obama's reform track record = http://www.onemillionstrong.us/showDiary.do?diaryId=431
The site is clearly a treasure trove of data and is a huge step forward towards government accountability. What's also nice is how user friendly it is.
Let's look at a few examples of what we can dig up.
Example 1: The list of transactions with KBR, Inc. (formerly part of Halliburton) in 2007 = http://tinyurl.com/27xroh . This came out to a paltry sum of $2.7 billion dollars (so far this year), which is nothing compared to previous years as the bar graph on the summary page  = http://tinyurl.com/yq39cq shows
Example 2: No bid contracts are among the darkest corners of federal spending - the lack of competition in these contracts is in large part what leads to overcharging by contractors and waste of taxpayer dollars. Well, there was $30 billion in no-bid contracts in 2007 =  http://tinyurl.com/2x2225 , including money to some companies I had never heard of, including $1.2 billion to Armor Holdings, Inc.  =  http://tinyurl.com/248loz and, strangely, $163 million to the government of Canada. = http://tinyurl.com/28amw3
There are a million more examples, and I'm really looking forward to seeing them in the coming weeks and months. 
 I'm very happy to see another positive step towards government transparency, something that Sen. Obama has been a leader in.
I have one challenge to everyone - find one interesting, strange, or otherwise noteworthy pieces of spending using the site.
