The Law of the Charter The Nuremburg Charter 1945

"...the very essence of the Charter is that individuals have international duties which transcend the national obligations of obedience imposed by the individual State. He who violates the laws of war cannot obtain immunity while acting in pursuance of the authority of the State, if the State in authorising action moves outside its competence under international law."

The Official Story of 9/11 is a Racist Lie: message to ADC 30th annual convention in DC 6/4-6

General News

In no way do I suggest that the ADC or any other organization which stands for Arab or Muslim people is remiss in not taking a public stand against the official story of 9/11. It is because they risk more than those of European heritage.

Every major institution in the US refuses to ask the hard questions about the central political event of our time, 9/11. Therefore, it behooves everyone whose heritage implies they WOULD want to know the truth to at least PRIVATELY ask those hard questions.

It is worthy of all who aspire to antiracist action to lovingly explore this issue with other people of good faith.

I have been focused on lovingly challenging peace activists on the 9/11 issue. Allow me to introduce myself by providing a link to a video interview including transcript I did a year ago with respected peace activist Howard Zinn.

This conference justifiably honors top representatives of both wings of the progressive movement. Sadly, both the liberal Eric Holder and the radical Amy Goodman publicly stand with the official story.

Remarks on Torture and 911truth for DC Toerture Accountability Action Day Rally in DC 6/25/09

(Links will be posted soon if they haven't been)

Greetings. No, I’m not Dick Cheney. He just copies my haircut.

I bring a message of support from my movement, the 911truth movement. This talk with links is posted at my website 911courage.org.

Let me explain how asking ALL the hard questions about 9/11 and the war on terror can advance our efforts to hold torturers accountable and restore honor to this land.

How many of you WANT to be honored to be Americans? Please note we have that in common with so many of our brothers and sisters who are adversaries. We just have higher standards.

One of the important features of the use of torture is that it is used to extract false evidence. Thus, it is a means of hiding from the truth. These lies, of course, are then used to excuse further torture.

A Call To ActionI Challenge Your Courage, Brothers and Sisters

By David Slesinger
Printed January 19, 2009

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

The leadership of both spiritual and secular progressives finds it convenient to consciously or unconsciously suppress efforts to ask the hardest questions about the most important political event in recent history, 9/11. Progressive activists correctly urge each other to question authority, but they don’t consider it suspicious when they are urged by their own leadership to ignore government lies. My challenge today holds you grassroots activists responsible for the suppressive decisions of your leaders. (See Project Censored links at 911courage.org for evidence suppression by progressive institutions.)

William Pepper believes Martin would face the challenge of 9/11
Many of you are aware of attorney William Pepper’s efforts on behalf of King’s family to expose the lies about Martin’s murder. He notes, “Without doubt, Martin King would be in despair over what has transpired in his beloved native land. I also have no doubt that he would enthusiastically support this quest for truth about the atrocity that has shaken and drastically changed our world. He would remind us that truth crushed to earth will rise again and that we should never continue to mourn into passivity the loss of liberty and our loved ones – but organize.”

Every major institution in the US refuses to ask the hard questions about 9/11. Because of that reality, we as Americans DO NOT DESERVE to live in a free country.

What do I ask of you?

Am I suggesting you must stop whatever is your current focus to immerse yourself in 9/11 truth research? No.

Am I suggesting you must come to the conclusion that there was government complicity?
No.

I AM suggesting that you care enough about justice within the movement to help create a place of respect for 9/11 truth advocates and researchers in relevant progressive institutions. This doesn’t mean “truthers” are above criticism. I deplore the paranoia and anti-collective attitudes so prevalent among fellow truthers. We still deserve a place at the progressive table. Truther opposition to the current imperial wars deserves recognition.

The war in afghanistan requires embracing the "war on terror."
The "war on terror" requires suppression of investigating 911

A Call To Action

9/11 is complicated, but a few individual pieces of evidence can each alone prove inside job. These include the freefall collapse of the 3 towers (implying something other than planes caused all resistance to the collapse from below to disappear), the symmetrical collapse of those same towers (implying that ALL the points of collapse at each given level actually gave way within a fraction of a second), and the pools of molten steel found under all 3 towers (implying some other source of energy was needed to raise the temperature sufficiently, since the jet fuel burned off quickly).
Left Progressive Media Inside the Propaganda Model
INVESTIGATIVE RESEARCH
By Peter Phillips and Project Censored
In this study researchers at Project Censored explore the degree to which the propaganda model of understanding self-censorship extends throughout the media culture including left-of- center independent media organizations. We examine the deepening propaganda model pressures inside the corporate media and hypothesize the potential for these pressures to impact left progressive media in the US

I wrote the following essay in early 2007 entitled, “Why the Left Should Not Be Hostile to 9/11 Truth Efforts” to be found at this link:

List of 17 911truth action ideas

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
A Call To Action17 Action ideas for 911 truth (don't stop after the first 3)

1) Whistleblower bannering and leafleting as regards 9/11. I prefer ae911truth.org with fuller explanation OR patriotsquestion911.com standing alone. The content of the banner or leaflet would be a URL, or more detailed encouragement to well placed citizens to put saving the constitution before professional security. Targets of this would be federal civil servants and assemblages of significant professions and vocations as regards 911. These jobs include construction in all its levels, firefighting, airlines, security and police. That’s right. Go leaflet the police.



2) Whistleblower leafleting and bannering WITHOUT reference to 9/11 truth. Excellent statements warning of the coming police state have been issued by Dan Ellsburg, Naomi Wolf, Steve Lendman, Paul Craig Roberts, and Ray McGovern. This is something that can be done with mainstream peace activists. The focus would be federal civil servants and any security personnel who might be called in to work roundup. Everyone against roundup should work together!!


3) Assistance is needed for a specially designed website delineating both praiseworthy and suspicious activity of the FBI as regards the war on terror. I am not a researcher. I’m an organizer. Once we have a decent website, I have a catchy URL in mind, and I’ll go hold the banner at the Hoover Building . Contributions in research and funds to hire researchers should be sent to Dan Nalven PO Box 1132 , Ossining , NY 10562

Mesothelioma may be another 9/11 Killer

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
General News

Those clouds of dust that enveloped thousands of New Yorkers who were near the World Trade Center’s destruction and who participated in the rescue efforts may be another large group of victims exposed to the cancerous effects of asbestos. Mesothelioma is a deadly form of lung cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos, usually in the form of dust or tiny fibers that get into the respiratory system.

There was an enormous amount of asbestos in the debris left by the 9/11 disaster; moreover, it has become evident that the dust raised on 9/11 and during subsequent rescue and cleanup efforts was contaminated with asbestos. One citizen who participated in rescue efforts for 48 hours after the towers fell saved the shirt that he was wearing throughout that period. In April of 2006 the New York Post reported that when the shirt’s fabric was tested, it was found to contain 93,000 times the amount of asbestos normally found in American cities.

In April of 2007, the federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that 62% of those caught in the dust cloud created on 9/11 are now incurring respiratory problems. 46% of those merely living in the area are showing similar symptoms. It is clear that the airborne debris created by the destruction on 9/11 has had health impacts on thousands of people. It is also clear that asbestos was a component of that dust.

Response to Robin Hordon/Defense of nonviolence/5 nonviolent actions

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
A Call To Action Response to Robin Hordon's attacks on nonviolence.
I first must complement Robin for having the courage to include me in his post. I’ve sought through Doug Brinkman to encourage Robin to debate me, and I feared he was actively avoiding me. I’m happy he is not.

Robin and I worked together a year ago leafleting for whistleblowers on a cold January afternoon outside the FAA in DC. Robin was given the opportunity to review the leaflet we distributed before we printed it up. He, of course, had a depth of experience in the airline realm. I assisted in preparing material he distributed in his own way at the convention of Air Traffic Controllers happening at that time.


I also have a general critique of the way nonviolent resistance is practiced in the US. In general, Gandhi's wisdom is ignored. I hold that the weakness of nonviolent protest in the US is because activists don't agree with Gandhi that they should not seek mercy. He always pleaded guilty.
I once met Narayan Desai, son of Gandhi's secretary, Mahadev Desai. He remarked that when his father went to jail, they would say goodbye by saying," Maybe next time you'll get a longer sentence."

It seems that Robin doesn’t agree with the UTNE article he links to. I do. The article says that there should be creative ways to achieve justice in addition to civil disobedience. Robin is categorically opposed to civil disobedience. He does not believe nonviolence can be anything other than phoney. This is not only misguided, but dangerous. Alongside the general resistance to discussion of nonviolence within the 911truth movement, his position is profoundly dangerous.

FREEWAY BLOGGING

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
A Call To ActionQuestions about freeway blogging arose in a recent conversation - legality, blah blah blah, after thinking for awhile, I imagined a pretty safe, effective way to "freeway blog."
One could simply fabricate a number of blank banners designed to be quickly "deployed," and then add graphics (paint, dye, whatever). Take a LARGE swath of fabric, like a sheet, hem in a 3/8 rod at top AND bottom, attach two chains with locking hooks to the top rod only. Works like this: design non-violent messages on banners, roll 'em up and hit freeway overpasses in high-traffic areas. It could be as quick as walking up, securing the banner by the hooks to fencing, and throwing the thing over the side (making sure the sign is not upside-down or backwards), move on. Even a half-hearted effort could reach hundreds of people before the sign gets removed... ?

CALL FOR MEDIATION

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
A Call To ActionBy Dave Slesinger - dslesinger@alum.mit.edu . Please post public responses here (911courage.org)

I have been removed from the 911truth.org grassroots contact list after having been an active truther since 2002, having given out over 55,000 deception dollars and having spoken on nonviolence at national 911 conferences in 2005, 06, and 07. The reason is that I'm seriously considering taking nonviolent sanctions against dc911truth.org, a group I co-founded, and against Webster Tarpley, a DC area resident. Before I take action, I will give the rest of the movement a chance to mediate.

I do this out of respect for the rest of the 9/11 truther movement, which could experience some problems as a result.

THEY LAY AT FINAL REST

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
A Call To Action

They lie in flag draped coffins
War's time for them, is done
But, for their family and friends
The battle has just barely begun.

Some may have had babies born
That they will never get to know
Some, fiancees wait to marry them
But fate, would not let it be so.

Some parents bury their children
Not right, in the scheme of things
Just one, of the many horrors
That mankind's warring brings.

They fought for their god and country
They proudly answered duty's call
Along with all their comrades in arms
But, sadly, these just gave their all.

The haunting sounds of Taps
And a three volley, gun salute
An Honor Guard in uniform
At attention, standing mute.

The flag will be folded reverently
Presented to those left behind
A small token from a grateful nation
But, relief from grief is hard to find.

Their name added to a roll of Heroes
With all those who have gone before
And there seems to be no ending
To all those to be sacrificed to war.

Del "Abe" Jones
