Happy New Year from your Treasurer!

[B]

(Treasurer of the British 9/11 Truth Campaign)
It’s really great to see so many new people have joined the Forum, showing there’s a growing interest in this issue, which is echoed by the efflorescence of new 9/11 Truth groups all over the UK and internationally, and the consistently dramatic response to new 9/11-related films or footage appearing on the internet. All of which indicates that the Truth movement is alive and well and that we’re well on track to exposing the BIGGEST LIE of modern times! BUT we’re not quite there yet, there’s still a lot more work to be done, and until we get a new INDEPENDENT, INTERNATIONAL INQUIRY INTO 9/11 and the INDICTMENT/IMPEACHMENT of the real perpetrators (note the word ‘Impeachment’) we cannot hang up our hats, we must go on campaigning and agitating and being in everyone’s face, from the highest to the lowest in the land, till justice is done for all the victims of 9/11 and of the bogus ‘war on terror’ and related wars, who by now number millions….

As in 2007, in 2008 we need to be able to continue bringing celebrated speakers over from the US and from other countries to tour UK; we need to be able to continue making and distributing films, books and information leaflets; we need to be able to put ads in newspapers and enable key activists to travel around, all of which costs money, which we don’t at present have in anything like the quantity to do be able to do justice to the importance of this work.

SO if you believe in this cause – no less nor more than the cause of Truth, justice and proper accountability in political life – but haven’t the time yourself to give to campaigning, can you at least help the campaign financially?? By more than just a one-off donation via Paypal (see top of Homepage), but by making out a regular Standing Order via your bank. This would make such a difference to what we can do and how effective we really can be. Even £5 or £10 a month would do marvellously; if multiplied by the 3000+ people visiting this Forum, imagine what your regular donation could achieve! Charities operate on this basis and hopefully before long the Truth Campaign will be such a charity, since our contribution to humanity and civilisation is potentially so great. Assume therefore we’re already a charity, and make over just £5 or £10 a month to the British 9/11 Truth Campaign. Everything or anything you give will be properly and openly accounted for, audited and spent in the cause of spreading 9/11 Truth.

Our bank account is with Cooperative Bank, sort-code 08-92-99 and the number is 65270286.

We can keep your contribution anonymous if you prefer - but please, make 2008 the year you begin to put your money where your heart surely already is.

Over to you, and thank you!

Belinda McKenzie, Treasurer, British 9/11 Truth Campaign, 1st January 2008

Nice one B, and I have one or two things to add as regards our strategy in this critical area for anyone living under a (not for long?) capitalist system.

There have been some serious problems such as Ade having no money to pay for the official campaign site which was down for a while. Hopefully this bank account will sort that out.

In the short term it might be useful to get standing order forms printed up making it clear what one gets for one's money, such as a newsletter maybe (bear in mind we have no formal membership/AGM structure). And to have some sort of sliding scale annual donation via standing order of...

- little (c. £2/year) for activists already putting lots of time in
- mid (c. £15/year) for general supporters for snailmail newsletter
- shedloads (c. £250/year) for 'friends' who get at least 3 invites annually to have dinner parties with celebs such as Rodruiguez and Cynthia McKinney.

In the longer term as a funding strategy we could also solicit one off donations putting out a list of possible conferences and meetings, even films to be made by us, each with an estimated price tag which good people with credit cards can make happen just by clicking 'donate'.
