The Great 9/11 Contradiction

There have been hundreds of blog entries on the 6th anniversary of 9/11. This is part of what I find is a great contradiction. While our “leaders” use the events of 9/11/2001 to justify their often criminal actions, these same people expect us to simply accept their explanations of what happened that day: “stop asking questions you conspiracy nuts”. So they want to keep using 9/11 at the same time they are wishing it would go away.

Well, it’s not going away. Sifting thru dozens of 9/11 posts leads me and many others to conclude that “the truth will out”. Many people that have accepted the “official conspiracy theory” for years are starting to discover the truth. From various polls it appears that over 50% of the people in the US have serious questions about the “official story”. These people are unified in recognizing the need for a new 9/11 investigation.

Unfortunately, this is another case of the people being way ahead of most of our “representatives” in congress. There are a few exceptions like Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul (see the patriotsquestion911.com link below). We are going to have to work hard to get a new investigation, but it is essential to the future of our country and the world that this crime be exposed.

Keep asking questions.

‘Tribute of Light’ Tonight in New York City.

Sept 11th NYC 2007

I only have one thing to say. It’s a question for you reader.

When will the Bush administration be held accountable for their complicity in the events of September 11, 2001?

Osama bin Laden tells the American people what they already know.

A rough and ready transcript of bin Laden’s statement:

He says to the American people, “you made one of your greatest mistakes, in that you neither brought to account nor punished those who waged this war, not even the most violent of its murderers, [former Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld…”

“You permitted Bush to complete his first term, and stranger still, chose him for a second term, which gave him a clear mandate from you — with your full knowledge and consent — to continue to murder our people in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then you claim to be innocent! The innocence of yours is like my innocence of the blood of your sons on the 11th — were I to claim such a thing.”

Bin Laden says President Bush’s words echo “neoconservatives like Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Richard Perle.”

“People of America: the world is following your news in regards to your invasion of Iraq, for people have recently come to know that, after several years of tragedies of this war, the vast majority of you want it stopped. Thus, you elected the Democratic Party for this purpose, but the Democrats haven’t made a move worth mentioning. On the contrary, they continue to agree to the spending of tens of billions to continue the killing and war there.”

I wonder what Miss Nancy and Gutless Harry Reid think of being lectured to by Osama bin Laden on their own failures. Of course the conventional wisdom is that ‘Osama’s an evil enemy of ours….’ and thus you should pay no attention to what he has to say. Yep, nothing to see here…move along….nothing to see here.

You won’t get an argument from me about OBL being our enemy. Sadly, due to the luck of the draw, or corporatist and ReThuglican vote rigging take yer pick, we’ve been saddled with a guy…Mr. Decider who clearly is a sick joke, an absolute failure at the job he now holds and for that matter every other job he ever had. It’s pretty clear to me that the real reason that Rove and many others have left is that they are very worried. Worried that Bush will suffer a complete mental breakdown before his term is out. We may have seen that today.

So Osama is still on the loose and yet the ‘LeaderSheep’ of the ‘Democrat’ Party are paralyzed with fear. No, not fear of OBL. Fear of Mr. Decider. They are so scared that Miss Nancy !Gaspt! broke her promise to the folks at OrangeLand. Damn, she can’t face the rude, uncivil bloggers it’s no wonder she can’t deal with the likes of Mr. Decider, even in his mentally incompetent state, or the newest of political pundits Osama bin Laden.

MeatHaid and Tweety better watch out OBL may be about to show them how this ‘punditry’ game should be played. He’s off to a strong start.

We are truly through the looking glass folks. Check out Kid Oakland’s diary about what’s happening in ‘Democrat’ Party Land and contemplate what you are willing to do about it.

The Latest ‘Campaign Confidential’ with A.Citizen Comments Added On.

Clinton volunteer army ramps up in California

They seek absentee votes here before polls open elsewhere

Carla Marinucci, Chronicle Political Writer

Tuesday, August 21, 2007

They call themselves “HillStars,” and they are part of a dedicated campaign army – the “HillCorps.”

And with just more than five months until California’s Feb. 5 presidential primary, the effort by the campaign of New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to organize trained volunteers – 1,000 strong across the state – suggests it is no coincidence that she has amassed a 30-point lead in California over her closest Democratic rival, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.

The Democratic front-runner’s California grassroots organizing effort has been dubbed by Clinton campaign strategists as the “1,000-20-200″ plan. And it will use “the power of the Internet with traditional field methods to create millions of voter contacts leading up to the Feb. 5 primary,” according to a 27-page “HillStar” campaign manual obtained by The Chronicle.

The Clinton campaign strategy in California is noteworthy for its scope and for its target – to help her secure the votes of potentially millions of absentee voters in California’s rich delegate field before Democratic voters in Iowa and New Hampshire ever weigh in at the polls.

“Politics is about the bottom line,” said Averill “Ace” Smith, Clinton’s California campaign manager, who noted that in 2008, “the largest number of votes cast at a relatively early stage” will be in California.

Beginning Jan. 7 – when voters can begin to cast absentee ballots in the state – “we have a 29-day election” that starts before the current Jan. 14 schedule for the Iowa caucus and the Jan. 22 New Hampshire primary, Smith said.

That calls for unprecedented organization and innovation in California to get those voters to the polls, Clinton senior adviser Ann Lewis said in an interview Monday in San Francisco.

For the first serious female presidential candidate, Lewis said, “the power of networks, the growth of social networks, will be the strength of this campaign.”

Presidential candidates are lavishing the lion’s share of money and attention on early primary states such as Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, and some political strategists suggested the efforts by the Clinton campaign to build, train and organize a California bank of 20,000 volunteers is a savvy move. That could help Clinton guard her front-runner status and construct a crucial firewall against Democratic rivals such as Obama and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards – regardless of the results in Iowa and New Hampshire.

“This is classic front-runner’s strategy – pushed to a whole new level,” said GOP consultant Dan Schnur.

Schnur said the late Lee Atwater pursued a similar strategy in 1988 for then-Vice President George H.W. Bush, intended to establish a grassroots network to send a message of overpowering strength – and inevitability – to his rivals.

“An organization like this doesn’t build her lead. It’s designed to protect it,” Schnur said.

Clinton faces challenges in Iowa and New Hampshire from Obama and Edwards, in the weeks before California and other states vote on Feb. 5, and he said such an effort is “a matter of logistics.”
