Sibel Edmonds at NOW Code Red Rally

9/11 Whistleblower to Address Protest in Central Park

Central Park, East Meadow | Wed. Sep. 1 - 7-9PM


(Archive)
Says NOW: "The National Organization for Women, NYC Chapter, is holding a mass demonstration, to the backdrop of the RNC, to show the world New York’s reaction to the Bush Administration's failures and deceptions around 9/11 and its aftermath."

Among the speakers will be Sibel Edmonds, the courageous translator fired by the FBI after revealing evidence that the United States government had received and suppressed specific advance warnings of the Sept. 11th attacks. Why did the 9/11 Commission report completely ignore her testimony?

News (Sep 5):

We are blown away by the "9/11 Truth" buzz that was created during the Republican National Convention in New York City. The Convergence Space hosted by NY 9/11 Truth at The Brecht Forum was the scene of lively traffic, debate, performance and celebration. 

Published last week, a Zogby poll commissioned by 911Truth.org and Walden3.org produced stunning results. It showed that 49 percent of this city's residents (and 41 percent in New York state overall) no longer buy the official story of Sept. 11. In the city, more people than not believe that high officials consciously allowed the attacks to happen. 66 percent of NYC residents support a new criminal investigation or Congressional hearings on the still-unanswered questions. 

The poll seemed to match the mood on the streets, where crowds of New Yorkers often literally applauded our visibility actions and "Expose the 9/11 Cover-up" banners. Although most of the major media have yet to mention the poll, we have learned that most people at the networks and newspapers are fully aware of the results. As were many thousands of the activists at the protests. Our signs were sprinkled throughout the massive UFPJ march with 500,000 protesters on Sunday, Aug. 29. And the powerful speech by Sibel Edmonds galvanized the crowd at the NOW "Code Red" rally on the evening of Sep 1 in Central Park. 

A critical mass is approaching. Enough people are ready to speak out and fight for full disclosure of the truth. Thanks to all who contributed to the quantum leaps of recent days.

News, Sept. 10:

The 9/11 Omissions Hearings were truly historic - so many important whistleblowers, critical research, and honest patriots stepping forward. Couple that with the widening awareness and the energy of the 911 truth movement and it really feels like this story is set to blow wide open, and soon. (A complete transcript and partial audio of the hearings are now available at 911Truth.org.)

The Summer of Truth now focuses all its attention on September 11th, 2004: The Day the Lie Died.

 There will be many events that day, here in NYC and around the world, but the biggest, and most important has got to be the "Confronting the Evidence" event here in NYC.

We're getting a lot of interest from the full-page newspaper ad to the left which is currently running in The Village Voice and select New York dailies. Click the thumbnail for the full size ad or click here for info on the event.

Please note that with so much interest reservations are absolutely required.

"Confronting the Evidence" - original script for 9/11/04 event
(PHOTO ALBUM)

"Confronting the Evidence: What Really Happened."

The many actions  in August and September caused an explosion in the active membership of NY 9/11 Truth and inspired many people to start up their own initiatives in New York City and beyond.

THE 9/11 OMISSIONS HEARINGS before the 9/11 Citizens' Commission chaired by Cynthia McKinney on Sept. 9, 2004 were a truly historic occasion, with many important whistleblowers, critical research, and honest patriots stepping forward. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution turned a new page and filed a positive report. (Their report of 100 people in attendance reflects the morning press conference, not the hearings or the premiere that evening of THE GREAT CONSPIRACY, by which time about 600 people were present.) 

The giant CONFRONTING THE EVIDENCE program of 9/11/04 was not just a breakthrough for the audience and the movement; it also inspired a veritable Rashomon of conflicting stories about the happenings behind the scenes. Now you can read the original script for the 9/11/04 event, with annotations explaining the various last-minute changes to the program. If you missed it, this is the next best thing.  

Since the editor of this site has been the subject of rumors coursing around the Internet, he also offers his perspective as the co-scriptwriter on "Confronting the Evidence: What Really Happened."  

(Ahem, I also penned a brief and, I hope, fitting response to a review by Matthew Reiss in The Villager.)

· Slash the military budget and recover the trillions of dollars stolen from our labor to enrich the corporations that profit from war.

· Open the books on the secret budgets of the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies in the service of corporations and banks and the pursuit of imperial war on the poor everywhere.

· For a democratic media that allow labor and all voices to be heard and oppose monopolization and union busting of media workers.

NY Social Forum - 9/11 Truth Session

Another New York City Is Possible!

Saturday, Oct 30 at 6:30 PM  |  Community Church  |   28 E. 35th


9/11 Unreported - Moving Towards Global Justice

Panelists: Michael Kane, Cathie Bell and Les Jamieson

A recent Zogby poll reports half of New Yorkers believe U.S. leaders had foreknowledge of impending 9/11 attacks and "consciously failed" to act; 66% call for new probe of unanswered questions by Congress or New York's attorney general.

It's clear that New Yorkers want the truth. This is the most pivotal issue of our time. All other issues of peace, justice and human progress will be resolved by solving this crime against humanity. Here is where we start. 

Come see riveting documentary evidence of the glaring inconsistencies in the official story. Learn about historical precedent leading to the current broad-based political/military agenda that lays the neo-conservative foundation and rationale for the attacks. We will make the case for culpability of several government and military officials who played a role in this "Pearl Harbor" event. You'll also learn about the substantial progress being made in obtaining justice for the 9/11 families, Americans, and for the world. There's no doubt, 9/11 is a global issue.

If you know there's much more to story and want to know what is being done to demand the truth, join us for this workshop that will add a new dimension of understanding of the most profoundly important event of our time. You'll leave knowing what difference you can make. The future of the planet is depending on it.

One easy option is to plan a screening of "The Great Conspiracy". You can have your action listed on the calendar below, which has received as many as 1500 visitors in a day. 

Challenging Consensus Reality

Unfortunately, while all this activity is often fun, it's not a game. The present administration, its supporters and allies in both major parties and the media have practically promised that a new major terror attack is coming soon. These vague warnings generate hysteria and are reckless and irresponsible, at best. The powers-that-be have shamelessly exploited 9/11 for political gain and as the pretext for serial war, trampled our natural rights and liberties, and devised even worse plans for what to do after "the next attack." 

  

For the 3,000 who died, for the thousands poisoned by the Ground Zero dust cloud and who still having trouble breathing, for the millions now forced to breathe depleted uranium from the continued bombing of Iraq - for you, for New York, for all who value freedom, for all who want their children to grow up in a true democracy - we must expose the 9/11 fraud and end its exploitation by the ruling elites. 

Be prepared to fight for truth, justice and a future as human beings, not tools. May we stay strong as we navigate a way out of the wilderness and take up the fight at the gates of society's mental citadel, challenging the most important power the very few have over the multitude: the power to define how we see reality.

Reaching the Million-Millions of New York City 

Saturdays, Dec 18 on   |   NOON   |   Contact for details  


Street visiblity is one of the most important things we do! NY 9/11 Truth started 2004 with a handful of people freezing in a Vigil for Truth at Ground Zero, handing out literature and spreading the meme to tourists and Century 21 shoppers. The reactions were amazing - positive and negative - but by the summer, the positives gained the upper hand, and we developed the weird idea that half of New York no longer believes in the Official Conspiracy Theory of 9/11. And then the Zogby poll showed we were right - half of New York doesn't believe the official story!

More recently, the Vigil for Truth has been held simultaneously at two or more locations. We've gone to Union Square and Midtown. In coming months, we're going to venture out to all five boroughs, and yes, New Jersey.

3-5 PM: Open discussion, actions and networking.

Each week is hosted by a different researcher from within the 9/11 truth movement:

This Sunday (Dec 19), join Ben Erwin, creator of the soon-to-be-published fully searcheable version of The 9/11 Commission Report, for a deep introduction into 9/11 research.

Sunday, Dec 26: Nicholas Levis of 911Truth.org, editor of "The Summer of Truth." The roots of 9/11 and the Bush agenda in the Iran-Contra era. Excerpts from "Coverup: Behind the Iran-Contra Affair" (Barbara Trent, 1988).

Co-sponsored by Green Party Office Manhattan & NY 9/11 Truth.

Diverse groups have been invited - all are welcome to drop in. This is the perfect place to bring friends.

We are reaching out to antiwar activists of the left and right; Citizens for Legitimate Government; Code Pink; Cobb for President; Democracy for America; the Family Steering Committee for the Independent 9/11 Commission; Sept. 11 families, firefighters and first responders; Greens; the Libertarians; National Organization for Women - NOW-NYC; New Democratic Majority (NDM); New York Social Forum; Not In Our Name (NION); New York Grassroots Antiwar Network (NYGAN); Peaceful Tomorrows; United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ); WTC Environmental Action (WTC-EA); WTC Environmental Organization (WTCEO); and others including third parties and presidential campaigns. 

WHY DOES IT MATTER? A recent Zogby poll reports half of New York City residents believe U.S. leaders had foreknowledge of the impending 9/11 attacks and "consciously failed" to act; 66% call for new probe of unanswered questions by Congress or New York's attorney general. The poll is the first conducted in America that surveys attitudes regarding US government complicity in the 9/11 tragedy. Despite the acute legal and political implications of this accusation, nearly 30% of registered Republicans and over 38% of those who described themselves as "very conservative" supported the claim. 

Is it any wonder people think that, when a whistleblower like former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds tells the public that the Bureau knew about the 9/11 plot in April 2001 and Aschcroft's reaction is to "retroactively classify" her statements?

NY 9/11 Truth supports the ongoing "Justice for 9/11" Petition and Complaint to New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, which cites probable cause for still-unsolved crimes around the events of September 11. Fifteen electred representatives in the NY State Assembly and Senate, New York City Council and House of Representatives have expressed support for re-opening the 9/11 investigation. 

Given the full-spectrum exploitation of 9/11 as the justification for foreign wars and domestic repressions, all issues of peace, justice and human progress are involved in this crime against humanity. This is just as true after the election. Whether the winner was Bush or actually the vote-counting machines, the result guarantees that 9/11 will still be advanced as the justification for our nation's self-destructive policies.

This is a must-date for those who understand that truth in government is the indispensable basis for a progressive agenda, and who want to see a massive November rally and concert to support the coming citizens' complaint for a new criminal investigation.

The Great Conspiracy - TBA

Nothing's Stopping You from Organizing Your Own Showing! Yeah, you!

VENUES TO BE ANNOUNCED   |   Meanwhile...


WHY NOT BE THE FIRST TO SHOW THIS FILM IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD ?

"The Great Conspiracy: The 9/11 News Special You Never Saw"
74-minute documentary by journalist, media critic and 9/11 activist Barrie Zwicker. A sequel to his ground-breaking video, "The Great Deception."

Off the top, on the high-tech set of a fictional news channel (shot at Toronto's Berkeley Studios): "On this program, we ask questions the 9/11 commission and the media never asked. We introduce experts you've never seen before, provide background you never get... and other information the media keep under wraps. We avoid thought-stoppers such as 'anti-American,' 'conspiracy theorists,' and that new word, 'believedtobelinkedtoalQaeda.' " 

This mockumentary delivers. The Great Conspiracy unmasks the wall-to-wall fraud of the so-called war on terrorism and its lynchpin, the official story of the events of 9/11.

WHY NOT INVITE A SPEAKER TO LEAD A DISCUSSION AFTER THE FILM?

"Confronting the Evidence" - original script for 9/11/04 event
(PHOTO ALBUM)

"Confronting the Evidence: What Really Happened."

The many actions  in August and September caused an explosion in the active membership of NY 9/11 Truth and inspired many people to start up their own initiatives in New York City and beyond.

THE 9/11 OMISSIONS HEARINGS before the 9/11 Citizens' Commission chaired by Cynthia McKinney on Sept. 9, 2004 were a truly historic occasion, with many important whistleblowers, critical research, and honest patriots stepping forward. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution turned a new page and filed a positive report. (Their report of 100 people in attendance reflects the morning press conference, not the hearings or the premiere that evening of THE GREAT CONSPIRACY, by which time about 600 people were present.) 

The giant CONFRONTING THE EVIDENCE program of 9/11/04 was not just a breakthrough for the audience and the movement; it also inspired a veritable Rashomon of conflicting stories about the happenings behind the scenes. Now you can read the original script for the 9/11/04 event, with annotations explaining the various last-minute changes to the program. If you missed it, this is the next best thing.  

Since the editor of this site has been the subject of rumors coursing around the Internet, he also offers his perspective as the co-scriptwriter on "Confronting the Evidence: What Really Happened."  

(Ahem, I also penned a brief and, I hope, fitting response to a review by Matthew Reiss in The Villager.)

NY 9/11 Truth and 911Truth.org endorse the Million Worker March. Of its many commendable demands, the following are especially relevant to our own cause:

· Repeal of the USA PATRIOT Act, Anti-Terrorism Act and all such repressive legislation. 

· Slash the military budget and recover the trillions of dollars stolen from our labor to enrich the corporations that profit from war.

· Open the books on the secret budgets of the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies in the service of corporations and banks and the pursuit of imperial war on the poor everywhere.

· For a democratic media that allow labor and all voices to be heard and oppose monopolization and union busting of media workers.

Here is a preview from Antiwar 4 The Million Worker March

The main rally will begin at 12 noon at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.

Speakers: Actor Danny Glover; entertainer and activist Dick Gregory; Rev. Jesse Jackson; Brenda Stokely, President, AFSCME District Council 1707; Clarence Thomas, co-Chair MWM; Chris Silvera, Teamsters National Black Caucus; Ralph Schoenman, Chair: Communications, MWM; Roger Toussaint, President, Transport Workers Union, Local 100; Donna Dewitt, President South Carolina State Federation of Labor; Mike Hoffman, Co-Founder, Iraqi Veterans Against the War; and more.

NY Social Forum - 9/11 Truth Session

Another New York City Is Possible!

Saturday, Oct 30 at 6:30 PM  |  Community Church  |   28 E. 35th


9/11 Unreported - Moving Towards Global Justice

Panelists: Michael Kane, Cathie Bell and Les Jamieson

A recent Zogby poll reports half of New Yorkers believe U.S. leaders had foreknowledge of impending 9/11 attacks and "consciously failed" to act; 66% call for new probe of unanswered questions by Congress or New York's attorney general.

It's clear that New Yorkers want the truth. This is the most pivotal issue of our time. All other issues of peace, justice and human progress will be resolved by solving this crime against humanity. Here is where we start. 

Come see riveting documentary evidence of the glaring inconsistencies in the official story. Learn about historical precedent leading to the current broad-based political/military agenda that lays the neo-conservative foundation and rationale for the attacks. We will make the case for culpability of several government and military officials who played a role in this "Pearl Harbor" event. You'll also learn about the substantial progress being made in obtaining justice for the 9/11 families, Americans, and for the world. There's no doubt, 9/11 is a global issue.

If you know there's much more to story and want to know what is being done to demand the truth, join us for this workshop that will add a new dimension of understanding of the most profoundly important event of our time. You'll leave knowing what difference you can make. The future of the planet is depending on it.

RESOURCES FOR FREE DISTRIBUTION

Slideshow: "Sept. 11, 2001: A Pearl Harbor to Justify a Shift in Bush-Cheney Oil Strategy and War Policy" by Karl Schwarz (PPT, 1.2 Mb, 2004)
Schwarz is a principal in Global Axxess and the author of a forthcoming book, "One Way Ticket to Crawford, Texas: a Conservative Republican Speaks Out." He argues that 9/11 was the needed provocation to gain hegemony over Central Asian Oil. He also reveals related (and outrageous) conflicts of interest among members of the Kean Commission. 

Leaflet: "9/11 as Inside Job?" by Nicholas Levis (PDF, 8.5" x 14," 2004)
Double sided: Print back-to-back and fold once down the center to create a miniature book. Very popular at the Ground Zero Vigil for Truth.

Leaflet: "Fallen Heroes: A message to the NYPD" by John Doe (PDF, 8.5" x 11," 2004)
Usable flat, or as the outside of a trifold, in which case you can print another leaflet on the reverse. 

Slideshow: "9/11 ... Connecting the Dots" by Global Howler (Powerpoint, 7 Mb, 2002)
Though a bit out of date, this slideshow, once featured on a now-defunct site, is well-researched and an excellent basis for presentations. Uses many of the resources highlighted on this site.

Leaflet: "10 Unanswered Questions" by 9/11 Citizens' Watch (PDF, 8.5" x 11," 2003)
The citizens' group tracking the doings of the 9/11 Commission posed these questions to the commission in 2003. None were ever answered adequately; most were completely ignored in the 9/11 Commission report. 

Flash Video: "BushTrek: The Voyages of Starship Enron's Prize" by TooStupidToBePresdident.Com (Animation, 1.5 Mb, May 2002) 
Bush as Kirk, discussing (and ignoring) advance warnings of 9/11 with his crew (Rice, Cheney, Mineta, Powell, Ashcroft et al.) Very funny summary of the case for foreknowledge. Links to original site.

THE LIBRARY

books questioning the official story (lihop, mihop, nohop)
For a review of various 9/11 research books and videos by Carol Brouillet, click here.

David Ray Griffin, The New Pearl Harbor (best entry for beginners, updated for a new 2004 edition) 
· Paul Thompson, The Terror Timeline. Invaluable resource. (2004) 
· Nafeez Ahmed, The War On Freedom (2002)

· Michel Chossudovsky, War and Globalisation: The Truth Behind September 11 (2002)
· Len Bracken, The Shadow Government: 9/11 and State Terror (2002). Persuasive in examining 9/11 within an broad-stroke history of state-sponsored, false-flag terror in the U.S. and around the world, from Gladio and P-2 in Italy to Oklahoma City. Excellent treatment of the "Amerithrax" attacks. Two reviews available here.
· Don Paul, Facing Our Fascist State (2002)
· Eric Hufschmid, Painful Questions (2002)
Wildcard analysis of WTC as demolition. Possible mechanics of 9/11 as inside job.
Note: Unlike every other link here, the editor has yet to read the following two books, but both are likely to be important.

essential background for understanding 9/11

So, why are we here?
Exposing the Coverup


What really happened on 9/11/01? Why did the U.S. chain of command go missing? Why no air defense response? Why was there no response to the early warnings from foreign governments? Who financed the attacks? Why were investigators blocked from tracking the alleged hijackers? The U.S. government never answered these questions, but marched unconstrained into an open-ended "war on terror," invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq planned and prepared in advance of 9/11/01, and a radical redefinition of American life. 
  
"The 9/11 Commission Report" ignores most of the real questions and spins the few answers it provides. The report's omissions consistently avoid bodies of evidence pointing to a circle of complicity within the U.S. government and its covert agencies. Now researchers and activists are compelled to make their case directly to the public. Three years later, only the people can act to expose the 9/11 Cover-up.

Shall we be ruled by fear? Shall we follow the road to perpetual war, fiscal ruin and a total surveillance state? Or can we still choose a different world? We invite you to participate in the ongoing 9/11 Truth events in New York City and the World.

Sep 10, 2001: Rumsfeld says Pentagon "missing" 2.3 trillion dollars (CBS)

List of the Fallen
As of 8/8/2004, confirmed dead: 2948; reported dead or missing: 48; total: 2996. Nationals of more than 70 countries. (This does not include many reports of undocumented workers and homeless persons said to have perished.)

Smoking Guns: Air Defense and Chain of Command

· The Emperor's New Clothes 9/11 Page by Jared Israel & Illarion Bykov. First to provide compelling analyses of two smoking guns: 
1) The "failure" of standard air defense procedures, under which jet fighters should have been scrambled in time to intercept the hijacked jets, reconnoiter and await further orders; and 
2) The absence from authority of the top men in the military chain of command during the two hours of the actual attacks, according to their own accounts. (Bush and entourage in the school; Rumsfeld; Myers; later it was revealed that Gen. Winfield was also away from his post during the attacks). 
· Question for NORAD and FAA: What were the response times on the 67 occasions when interceptors were routinely scrambled to intercept off-course planes in the year prior to June 1, 2001? What about the 129 cases when jets were scrambled in 2000? Remember, when the Sept. 11 hijackings began, these were "errant planes" and should have been subject to the routine response.

The Pakistani Connection
· Timeline of Pakistani ISI connection to financing of the alleged 9/11 hijackers On the morning of Sept. 11, ISI chief Mahmud Ahmad had breakfast at the Capitol with the later directors of the Congressional probe into 9/11: Bob Graham and Porter Goss. (Why wasn't Goss asked about this at his Senate confirmation hearings as Director CIA?) Ahmad was later accused of sending $100,000 to Mohamed Atta, and forced to resign. Why isn't this explained or even mentioned in any official U.S. investigation? The agent said to be responsible for the cash transfer was Omar Saeed Sheikh, see: 
· Sept. 11's Smoking Gun: The Many Faces of Saeed Sheikh by Paul Thompson 
· The 9/11 Commission Report fails to mention reports of a Pakistani connection, but does offer this: "To date, the U.S. government has not been able to determine the origin of the money used for the 9/11 attacks. Ultimately the question is of little practical significance... Similarly, we have seen no evidence that any foreign government - or foreign government official - supplied any funding." (p. 172)

Prior Knowledge and Imagination
Who knew, what did they know, what did they do about it? How did so many governments and individuals develop information indicating hijackings and aerial attacks on New York and DC in September? Jordan provided the correct name of the operation, Israel provided names of several of the alleged hijackers, the Russian president says he warned suicide pilots were training for an attack in the U.S. How does this square with the official FBI account, in which a perfectly secretive, insulated terror cell of 19 men left as good as no clues before they struck? What were the original sources for the many advance warnings to the U.S. government? And how can anyone claim they couldn't have even imagined the method of attack?

I
nsider trading based on foreknowledge?
The Herzliyah Policy Institute in Tel Aviv initially broke the story that an unusually high number of put options (short-sells) were placed on the stock of the attacked airlines in the week before Sept. 11. Within days of 9/11, officials at financial centers around the world - including the head of the German Bundesbank - announced they had discovered countless suspicious trades indicating foreknowledge. This was the smoking gun, they said. Thorough investigations were promised. Suddenly, the story was dropped...

There were also indications of shady dealings at the WTC itself, where many millions were transferred out of accounts during the attacks, see: 
· German Firm Probes Final World Trade Center Deals 
A footnote to "The 9/11 Commission Report" dismisses these leads (as did the SEC - after waiting until Aug 2004). The report mentions only the put options on the airlines, ignoring other companies such as the WTC tenants and reinsurers. It does not name who made the put-option trades in the U.S., but exculpates these parties simply because they are "have no conceivable connection to al-Qaeda" (as though no one outside of al-Qaeda could have had prior knowledge of the attacks). And what about the investigations of suspicious trades outside the U.S.?

Tracking Mohamed Atta and his Florida drug connections, well worth reading in the original order (2001-2002). Interesting nuggets with independent confirmation: "Magic Dutch boy" Florida flight school owners Dekkers and Kruithof claimed
not to know each other, but had prior business relationship in Netherlands. Three of the alleged 9/11 pilots trained at their schools. Jeb Bush personally present as federal agents impounded police records of flight schools after 9/11 attacks, according to local police. Real owner of Dekkers's school, Wally Hilliard, owned Lear jet impounded with 43 lbs. of cocaine in 2000 (on a regular flight), indicating involvement in covert drug operations. Katharine Harris endorsed Hilliard's bankrupt, pond-hopper airline. Dekkers and Kruithof survived separate suspicious air crashes within weeks of each other in 2002. Atta apparently a heavy-drinking, free-spending, aggressive party monster. Official timeline of Atta's movements contradicted by eyewitness accounts. Possible military school connections.

The Israeli Art Student Files (2001 forward) Before and after 9/11, around 120 Israelis posing as art students, many of whom tried to infiltrate federal facilities, were arrested and later deported. Evidence suggests some members of this apparent spy ring were tracking the alleged 9/11 hijackers. Were they the source for the Mossad warning of Aug 2001, which specified the names of at least four of the allaeged ringleaders? See also: 
· "To say that Israel did not perpetrate the attacks of 9/11 is not to deny that the Israeli government was very close to those attacks and may have played a role in them. There is evidence that points both ways." (Click on link and scroll down for passage from Crossing the Rubicon by Mike Ruppert)

(Editorial) 

The next two items express the opinion of this site's editor, and not necessarily the consensus among all New York 9/11 truth movement activists.

Bad Science
Much attention in recent months has been devoted to a series of dubious physical evidence bombshells, especially those promoted in the film "911: In Plane Site" and at the site LetsRoll911.org. While I do not automatically rule out any theory, the evidence these two sources present for their particular theories is fallacious, and their insistence on its validity, despite a series of embarrassing refutations, is suspicious. No offense is meant to those who have been taken in by false interpretations of video clips; most of the people spreading these fallacies mean well, and on first sight, I thought I saw "the pod" too. But these claims are superfluous to the 9/11 skeptics' case and easily refuted - which is why those who wish to "debunk" 9/11 research invariably focus on them. The big picture still points towards complicity in the attacks by elements of the U.S. government. We don't need invented evidence. 
Judge for yourself:

physical evidence
· "The Plume," one of many false calls in the best-selling documentary DVD, "911: In Plane Site"
· "The Flash" and "The Pod," two more false calls propagated by "In Plane Site" and the popular bad-science medley at LetsRoll911.org
· Comparison photos of Letsroll911.org's "smoking gun" photo and a standard Boeing reveal no "pods" 
· Results of an informal assessment of claims made in "911: In Plane Site"

Internal Conspiracy Theories of the 9/11 Skeptics
· A Whole Bunch of Us Are Creepy, says Angie D'Urso in this collection of innuendos, illogical leaps and guilt-by-association
· David Ray Griffin Responds to Angie D'Urso
· ALL of us are COINTELPRO, says Dan Hopsicker, in what seems to be a primer for many of the famous "25 Techniques of Disinformation"
· Nico Haupt's 9/11 Skeptics' Blogspot presents a complete, regularly-updated roundup of movement and research news, but he tends to misrepresent and ascribe nefarious motives to everyone he disagrees with, and often gets details wrong. Be sure to check with the subjects of his gossip before relying on him.


AND YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH
AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.
John 8:32
Inscription at CIA Headquarters
Langley, Virginia


I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain 
Frank Herbert, The "Litany against Fear"
