Forthcoming get-together and 'AGM' for 911 Truth Scotland

[Keith Mothersson]

E-mail notification to follow, but this is to flag up Saturday, May 10th for a meeting of activists and interested supporters in our 911 truth network in Scotland.

it will take place in ideal premises at the Falkirk Christian Centre, where we once hosted David and Annie for an evening. In Glebe St, very near one of the Falkirk Railway stations. Start about 10.30 for 11.00, finish about 5.00?

We have a lot to talk about. Please use this forum to raise your proposals, ideas, plans for workshop(s), concerns, beefs.

We need at some point to have an 'AGM' to decide who is going to take on what responsibilities for the future. I do hope that 'new blood' will come forward, or maybe some veteran blood I foolishly alienated at one stage, sorry CB.

I will post other thoughts on another thread. This one is more practical, inviting people to come forward for and in advance of the day with your ideas, folks!

[Rory Winter]

I would love to be able to make it but distance, no car and domestic commitments make this difficult. One thing I would hope that can be discussed in Falkirk is the topic I have flagged-up here:

http://www.nineeleven.co.uk/board/viewtopic.php?p=113245#113245

I strongly feel that this involves the subject of non-affiliation which we must be very clear about. No political party -even were it to agree with this Forum's purpose- should be allowed to hijack it.

[Keith Mothersson]

agreed.

[Rory Winter]

Thanks, Keith. But have you seen this?

It's this kind of autocratic behaviour which makes me despair of the main UK Forum. Currently we in this Group seem to be in a similar position to a Holyrood Parliament on the way to a final decoupling and full independence!

I will being several really interesting books for people to browse, and it would be great if others do too .... as well as any dvds etc to share, sell cheaply, etc ....or T-shirts .... -- you get the idea.

Plus a woman from Ayrshire writes: I run events in glasgow and Ayrshire, mainly of the live music variety. Should you need any help organising events of any kind for the movement (whether it be rally, conference or live music etc) , please don't hesitate to contact me. I will gladly help this cause.

So we need to make time to discuss this fine offer and also her idea for approaching Scottish 'Celebs' for a collective endorsement .....

Hopefully she will be with us on Saturday. Who wants to work with her on these projects?

Or is 911 just a spectator sport hobby?

[mathesons23]

I am that Ayrshire one!

I'm really sorry that I havn't been able to come to any of the meet ups! uni is actually wrecking me just now!

I finish in 10 days time then i'll be moving house, as soon as all that is out way, I will come to a meet up and introduce myself!

i hope all the meetings are going well!

best,
Sharon

Ah I see it now.

The fact that the truth about what happened on 911 has been ignored by those that would render it valuable and who would otherwise have provoked a massive change, is because of Morgan Reynolds ?

Am I somewhere near your message ?

[chrisc]

[Mark Gobell]

And you are part of the solution ?

[Keith Mothersson]

A visit from the London Stalinist Thought police I see.

Well, surprise, surprise, if someone coming to the meeting has a better idea we can discuss which dvd to watch. (as I suggested to people)

But we in Scotland can do without Gareth and Andy poking their nose in, thank you.

And please apologise both of you or else I will ask the three Scottish moderators to consider colouring your interventions in RED with an apology for your arrogant rudeness.

[TonyGosling]

[Keith Mothersson]

[TonyGosling]

You have done great work Keith.

Re-reading this thread more thoroughly Gareth's wording is unnecessary, mean and provocative. Especially since you are putting your time and effort into organising this.

Calling fellow campaigners that have valid differences of opinion 'thought police' does not help the wider cause though.

It would be a lot better all round were you to calmly explain your point of view.

[tomcatma]

I second that Tony. My own experience of Gareth is someone who shuts down debate, which is valid in terms of discussing these issues with the public but invalid when discussions take place within an informed environment such as this one. Gareth's actions were the primary reason why i walked away from WAC UK. He is young so maybe in time he will learn that a lot of his barbed comments are projections of his own making. Useful Idiot or MI5, take your pick. Gareth accusing Keith of being "thought police" is very rich. He really is best ignored.

[Stefan]

[tomcatma]

More than happy to meet with you Stefan to discuss what went down for me in WAC. I know my conflict with you was left unresolved so it maybe worthwhile to discuss that too. Let me know either way via this forum and I will ring you.

Hello andyb

You state....

"Keith, to call me a racist is slanderous. I don't know what happened on 9/11 and that is why I'm campaigning for a new investigation. You say with certainty there were no hijackers but this is speculation. Stick to facts and we might get somewhere."

Could you provide evidence for hijackers please.....

Any Evidence for Hijackers.?

Quote:
"That, for instance, the 9/11 hijackers were closely watched and protected in the US by covert guardian angels."

What hijackers? There were hijackers on the planes on 9/11? How do you know?

Because Barbara Olsen said so, during her impossible cellphone call to her husband?

Because the FBI found "Atta's suitcase" that incredibly didn't get transferred onto the plane, but that contained a treasure-trove of incriminating 'evidence', including a suicide note (which he intended to take with him on the plane)?

Because of the miraculous passport of Sattam al-Suqami, found slightly scorched a few blocks away from the WTC -- how did it survive the fires?

Because of the passenger lists that were first released by the airlines, and then withdrawn and classified, which contained none of the "hijackers'" names, nor even any passengers with Arabic names?

Were any of the 'hijackers' filmed getting on any of the planes? Did I miss that?

If there's ever been ANY credible evidence that there were hijackers on those planes -- meaning evidence that even passes the laugh test -- I've never heard of it.

If you have, man I'd love to know about that.

Until then... What hijackers?

Blackbear..........The new 9/11 forum.....stefan proposes no religious conspiracy theories......

or does the above only apply to people who follow judaism .......

[Stefan]

Blackbear,
What Andy is saying I agree with - he is not saying there were highjackers, he is saying no evidence of hijackers does not equal proof of no highjackers - he is simply making a very common sense plea that we not speculate.

As for your comment which seemed pointed at me - I can't unravel it sorry. What do you mean exactly?

[andyb]

Blackbear,

All I'm saying is that without speculating i don't know. i do know that the 'hijackers'(please note the inverted commas) had gone to flying school. let's just stick to what we know and can back up with solid evidence. there's so much of it we don'y need to speculate is all I'm saying.

[blackbear]

hello stefan.....

An important tenet of the "official conspiract theory" is 19 arab/muslim hijackers are to blame for 3000 deaths that day.

Where is the evidence for that.?

andyb...states....

"You say with certainty there were no hijackers but this is speculation"

It is pure speculation by andyb that there was 19 muslim hijackers that day. He might naively be swallowing this aspect of the official story.

andyb......states.... stick to the facts...

OK.....show the facts that prove 19 muslim hijackers were involved.....

Truth Action....recommends.....no jewish conspiracy theories..
You improve that by saying.....no religious conspiracy theories...

This is not meant to be pointed at you. It was "pointed" at andyb.....

The belief in 19 muslim hijackers could well be interpreted as a conspiracy theory against muslims. Look to Afghanistan + the war against muslims in Iraq, etc. [/b]

It is up to andyb to reply.

Take care + good luck.......

blackbear.....

[Stefan]

Blackbear,
I'm sure Andy will reply, but I have a few things to say myself.

First of all I want to clarify that I was refering to the "truth seeking" side of 9/11 truth - who place finidng out what happened above and beyound everything else as "religious" in a sense in their motivation. My point was that truth action is about campaigning and enabling campaigning - the priority is to wake people up and get them asking their own questions and not zealously trying to force your own answers on them.

Let me state also that whether or not highjackers were involved they would not be responsible for 3000 lives - the people who blew the buildings up would be.

Let me ask you this - who was responsible for the 93 bombing - the FBI who facilitated the attack, the CIA who supplied the bomb making materials, both for sitting back and letting the attack happen - or the patsies - ACTUAL - Islamists who believed they were working alone?

[xmasdale]

I always get upset when my comrades start quarreling with each other, particularly when they do it in public.

I suggest the following principles would be good to adhere to.

1. If you have a criticism of a fellow campaigner take the issue up with them personally in the first instance.

2. If that doesn't get anywhere and if some principle affecting the campaign is involved, open the debate to others, via e-mail - not on this forum which merely washes our dirty linen in public.

3. Don't jump to conclusions about the actions of others. If you are going to criticise them, be very sure of your facts before making allegations.

4. Always be prepared to apologise for hurt caused

5. Try to understand where the other person is coming from. (they are probably as sincere as you are)

---------------------------------------------

On the question of attitudes towards what really happened on Sept 11 2001.

1. Everyone should feel free to associate with anyone they want, any theory they want and any person they want.

2. Those who are presenting a case to the public should avoid speculation about what really happened, but should use well tried and tested questions and anomalies in the official conspiracy theory.

3. Those who want to advance in public theories as to what happened, should make clear that they are doing this in an individual capacity and not on behalf of the British 9/11 Truth Campaign.

4. Treat your comrades as you would like to be treated by them.

5. Never publicly imply that one of your comrades is a shill or an agent. (I have never known any one able to prove such an accusation)

Maybe others can add some good principles which I have forgotten.

Best

Noel
