How did this book trigger the Barrett controversy? Let's review the timeline. On June 22nd, 2006, Jim Fetzer was invited on Fox's Hannity and Colmes. Fox tried to ambush Fetzer and Scholars for 9/11 Truth (http://st911.org) as a bunch of evil professors programming students to believe 9/11 "conspiracy theories." Fetzer deftly avoided the ambush, saying "you've got your facts foxed" (pronouncing the latter two words very carefully) and pointing out that as far as he knew there were no classes on 9/11 truth at any US university--but that it was a great idea. Fetzer then proceeded to slice, dice and re-splice Ollie North six ways from Sunday: www.911blogger.com/2006/06/dr-james-fetzer-on-hannity-and-colmes.html

Fox slunk away, licking its wounds--and Repugnkin strategists presumably started looking for an "evil professor" who WAS teaching 9/11 "conspiracy theories." An ambush was arranged, and Jessica McBride, trophy wife of an ambitious Republican District Attorney, sweetly invited Kevin Barrett on her radio show--broadcast over WTMJ, the biggest radio station in Wisconsin, owned by the right-wing media monopoly Journal-Sentinel Corporation:

www.911blogger.com/2006/07/jessica-mcbride-interviews-kevin.html

McBride surprised Barrett with a lengthy, hostile introduction as "Wisconsin's Ward Churchill." Her main talking point was that Barrett was "teaching these theories in class." Barrett said he was not--but admitted that he was assigning essays from his book as part an analysis of the war on terror that would present a variety of viewpoints.

McBride's radio show ended at 10 p.m. The next morning, State Rep. Steve Nass, the legislature's token troglodyte, issued a press release demanding that the University of Wisconsin fire Barrett. Nass has claimed he just happened to hear about Barrett on McBride's blog:

http://www.620wtmj.com/_content/talk/jessicamcbride/index.asp?id=125&e ntry=20886

How did McBride get her blog written, and Nass get his press release written and issued, with such astounding alacrity? Nass is the kind of guy you'd expect would take all day to scratch his name in mud with a stick. One suspects -- shudder -- a CONSPIRACY! Suspicions were heightened by the way the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel trumpeted the whole affair, sticking to the Republican talking points about Barrett resembling Ward Churchill and "teaching conspiracy theories in class."

In retrospect, it looks like a conspiracy by Nass, McBride, the Wisconsin Republican Party, and the Journal-Sentinel Corporation to give 9/11 truth a lot of publicity: www.mujca.com/mujcaagents.htm

It has also given the new book edited by Barrett, eminent theologian John Cobb, and Jewish Studies professor Sandra Lubarsky a great start. The book is due out at the beginning of October, and may be pre-ordered on Amazon:

www.amazon.com/gp/product/1566566606/sr=8-3/qid=1155650085/ref=pd_bbs_ 3/103-2811571-3314256?ie=UTF8

For more information on the book, see its soon-to-be-interactive website:

www.mujca.com/newbook.htm

Prediction: When people see the essays by the likes of John Cobb, Rabbi Michael Lerner, and Barrett himself--whose essay is nothing if not incendiary--this book is going to cause Steve Nass's head to explode on the floor of the Wisconsin State Legislature.

2) Ex-CIA Official Speaks Out on 9/11 Pentagon Snow-Job, WTC Demolitions

Bill Christison is a former senior official of the CIA. He was a National Intelligence Officer and the Director of the CIA's Office of Regional and Political Analysis before his retirement in 1979.

Stop Belittling the Theories About September 11 by Bill Christison

www.dissidentvoice.org

However horrendous the crimes of two of the world’s great liars and terrorists in Gaza and Lebanon, it is imperative that we not let the deeds of Ehud Olmert and George W. Bush distract us from another recent event.

The U.S. alliance with Israel and the power of the lobby that lets Israel so easily influence U.S. foreign policy have been major factors in allowing the monstrous slaughter of innocent civilians in Gaza and Lebanon. What is happening in these lands may also encourage Olmert and Bush to start new hostilities in Syria and heavy, possibly nuclear, bombings in Iran -- and this entire mess of neocon pottage may lead to a new World War and clashes of civilizations and religious fundamentalisms that these two wretched politicians seem quite literally to want to impose on the rest of us. It’s a tough case to make that anything else going on in the world -- anywhere -- could possibly be of equal importance.

But on July 29 and 30, and then again on August 1, something else happened that increasing numbers of people believe is of equal importance. On these dates C-SPAN rebroadcast a panel discussion, held originally in late June, sponsored by an organization called the American Scholars’ Symposium to discuss what really happened on September 11, 2001. Held in Los Angeles, the meeting lasted two days, and the C-SPAN rebroadcast covered one almost two-hour wrap-up session. The meeting was attended by 1,200 people interested in hearing something other than the official story of 9/11. The TV audience was evidently large enough to spur C-SPAN to broadcast the panel discussion five separate times in four days.

Even a month late, this is a lot of airtime for stories that many people call conspiracy theories -- and for which many others use nastier descriptions. It is possible that the head of C-SPAN, Brian Lamb, so strongly disbelieves the conspiracy theories that he felt giving them ample publicity would discredit them further. It is equally possible, however, that Lamb, who seems honestly to believe in presenting various sides of most issues as fairly as he can (although not always giving every side equal time), tried to do exactly that on the many legitimate questions raised about what actually happened on September 11. In any event, C-SPAN has made a major effort to bring information on the principal theories about 9/11 to the mainstream U.S. media. Lamb cannot be blamed for the coincidence that recent heavy military activity in Gaza and Lebanon is nearly drowning out his efforts.

Let’s address the real issues here. Why is it important that we not let the so-called conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 be drowned out? After spending the better part of the last five years treating these theories with utmost skepticism, I have devoted serious time to actually studying them in recent months, and have also carefully watched several videos that are available on the subject. I have come to believe that significant parts of the 9/11 theories are true, and that therefore significant parts of the “official story” put out by the U.S. government and the 9/11 Commission are false. I now think there is persuasive evidence that the events of September did not unfold as the Bush administration and the 9/11 Commission would have us believe. The items below highlight the major questions surrounding 9/11 but do not constitute a detailed recounting of the evidence available.

ONE: An airliner almost certainly did not hit The Pentagon. Hard physical evidence supports this conclusion; among other things, the hole in the Pentagon was considerably smaller than an airliner would create. The building was thus presumably hit by something smaller, possibly a missile, or a drone or, less possibly, a smaller manned aircraft. Absolutely no information is available on what happened to the original aircraft (American Airlines Flight 77), the crew, the “hijackers,” and the passengers. The “official story,” as it appeared in The 9/11 Commission Report simply says, “At 9:37:46, American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, traveling at approximately 530 miles per hour. All on board, as well as many civilians and military personnel in the building, were killed.” This allows readers to assume that pieces of the aircraft and some bodies of passengers were found in the rubble of the crash, but information so far released by the government does not show that such evidence was in fact found. The story put out by the Pentagon is that the plane and its passengers were incinerated; yet video footage of offices in the Pentagon situated at the edge of the hole clearly shows office furniture undamaged. The size of the hole in the Pentagon wall still remains as valid evidence and so far seems irrefutable.

TWO: The North and South Towers of the World Trade Center almost certainly did not collapse and fall to earth because hijacked aircraft hit them. A plane did not hit Building 7 of the Center, which also collapsed. All three were most probably destroyed by controlled demolition charges placed in the buildings before 9/11. A substantial volume of evidence shows that typical residues and byproducts from such demolition charges were present in the three buildings after they collapsed. The quality of the research done on this subject is quite impressive.

If the judgments made on Points ONE and TWO above are correct, they raise many “Who done it” questions and strongly suggest that some unnamed persons or groups either inside or with ties to the government were actively creating a “Pearl Harbor” event, most likely to gain public support for the aggressive foreign policies that followed -- policies that would, first, “transform” the entire Middle East, and second, expand U.S. global domination.

These first two points provide the strongest evidence available that the “official story” of 9/11 is not true. If the government could prove this evidence false, and its own story on these points correct, all the other data and speculation supporting the conspiracy theories would be undermined. It has provided no such proof and no answers to growing questions.

Other, less important points supporting the theories include the following.

THREE: For at least one hour and 45 minutes after the hijacking of the first aircraft was known, U.S. air defense authorities failed to take meaningful action. This strikes some “conspiracy theorists” as valid evidence that the U.S. Air Force was deliberately restrained from acting. Maybe so, but my own skepticism tells me that the inefficiency of U.S. defense forces is likely to be just as plausible an explanation.

FOUR: Some of the theorists believe that the 19 named hijackers were not actually the hijackers. One claim is that the names of the hijackers were not on the manifests of any of the four aircraft.

FIVE: None of the 19 hijackers’ bodies were ever autopsied (since they were allegedly totally destroyed in the crashes, including even the people in the Pennsylvania crash).

SIX: At least five of the alleged hijackers (or persons with identical names) have since turned up alive in the Middle East. Nonetheless, the FBI has never bothered to re-investigate or revise the list of hijackers. Does this suggest that the FBI knows that no one in the administration is interested in reopening any further investigations?

SEVEN: Numerous pilots have allegedly told the theorists that none of the 19 hijackers could have flown the airliners well enough to hit the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon with as much accuracy as was displayed. The debate on this issue simply raises more doubt about the government’s charge that the people it has named as hijackers are the real hijackers.

EIGHT: No one, except possibly government investigators who are not talking, has seen the plane that went down in Pennsylvania. Some of the conspiracy theorists suggest that it was deliberately destroyed before it hit the ground; others suggest that the plane actually landed in Cleveland and that passengers then were whisked away to some unknown destination. What happened to them at that point is simply a large question mark that makes it more difficult to believe this particular scenario.

NINE: Machinations in the U.S. stock market in the days before 9/11 suggest that some inside players in the market knew or suspected that United and American Airlines stock would soon drop. Two of the four of the aircraft involved in 9/11 were, or course, United planes and the other two were American Airlines planes.

It should be reemphasized that these items do not make up a complete list of all the charges made by the theorists, but they are a good sample. Anyone interested in perhaps the best summary of these charges should watch the video “Loose Change.”

To repeat, points ONE and TWO above are the most important. If something other than an airliner actually did hit the Pentagon on 9/11, and if the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center actually were dropped to the ground by controlled demolitions rather than by anything connected to the hijackings, the untrue stories peddled by The 9/11 Commission Report are clearly susceptible of being turned into major political issues.

A Scripps Howard News Service/Ohio University poll taken from July 6 to 24, 2006 concluded that “more than a third [36 percent] of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them, so that the United States could go to war in the Middle East.” The poll also found that “16 percent of Americans speculate that secretly planted explosives, not burning passenger jets, were the real reason the massive twin towers of the World Trade Center collapsed.”

A poll done by the Zogby polling organization two months earlier, between May 12 and 16, 2006, and using questions worded somewhat differently, suggested even more strongly that the issue could become a “big one” if aggressively publicized. This poll concluded that 42 percent of Americans believed there had indeed been a cover-up of the true events of 9/11, and an additional 10 percent of Americans were “unsure.” The co-author of the poll, W. David Kubiak, stated that, “despite years of relentless media promotion, whitewash, and 9/11 Commission propaganda, the official 9/11 story still can’t even muster 50 percent popular support.”

Whichever of these polls is closer to the truth, it would seem that there is considerable support for making a major political issue of the subject.

This should be worked on at two different levels. At the first level, the objective should be long-term, centered on making a maximum effort to find out who the individuals and groups are that carried out the attacks in New York and Washington. Then, these people should be tried in an international court and, if possible, convicted and punished for causing so many deaths. Such a trial, accompanied by actual change in U.S. policies, would show that some people on this globe are at least trying to move closer to more just and decent behavior in human relationships around the world.

At the second level, the short term, the task should be to immediately set to work as hard as is humanly possible to defeat in this year’s congressional election any candidate who refuses to support a no-holds-barred investigation of 9/11 by the Congress or a high-level international court. No more evidence than is now available is needed in order to begin this process.

A manageable volume of carefully collected and analyzed evidence is already at hand on both items ONE and TWO above. Such evidence should be used right now to buttress charges that elements within the Bush administration, as well as possibly other groups foreign or domestic, were involved in a massive fraud against the American people, a fraud that has led to many thousands of deaths.

This charge of fraud, if proven, involves a much greater crime against the American people and people of the world than any other charges of fraud connected to the run-up to the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. It is a charge that we should not sweep under the rug because what is happening in Lebanon, Gaza, Iraq, Syria, and Iran seems more pressing and overwhelming. It is a charge that is more important because it is related to all of the areas just mentioned -- after all, the events of 9/11 have been used by the administration to justify every single aspect of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East since September 11. It is a charge that is more important also because it affects the very core of our entire political system. If proven, it is a conspiracy, so far successful, not only against the people of the United States, but against the entire world. Finally, it is a charge too important to ignore simply because the U.S. government refuses to discuss it. We must force the Bush administration to discuss it.

Discussions aggressively pushed day after day about what really happened on 9/11 will be one of the most important tasks between now and early November. Such discussions can, one hopes, provide progressives with a way to jolt voters out of their apathy and inchoate willingness to support the status quo that they think gives them security -- and encourage more voters to stop supporting Bush, the Republicans, and the wobbly Democratic politicians who might as well be Republicans. A major issue like this, already supported by many voters, may prove particularly important in a congressional election year when new uncertainties in the Middle East, new possibilities of terrorism against the U.S. in retaliation for recent large-scale acts of Israeli/U.S. terrorism in Gaza and Lebanon, and the corrupt almost-single-party U.S. political system combine to make it more likely that supporters of Bush will retain their majority this November.

In terms of electoral impact, it would not matter whether heavy publicity did in fact force the administration to accept a new high-level investigation of the 9/11 events. Initially, the principal goal would be to contribute heavily to the defeat of both Republicans and Democrats who refuse to support wholeheartedly a major new investigation by Congress or an international court. This might result in the defeat of more Republicans than Democrats in November, but ultimately the hoped-for goal should be the end of a system in which Democrats are barely different from Republicans, along with cutbacks in the political power of wealth and the foreign and domestic lobbies paid for by wealth. These are the dominant features of our system today that have practically eliminated meaningful democracy in the U.S. This failure of democracy has happened before in U.S. history, but this time it is likely to last longer -- at least until U.S. policies begin to pay as much attention to the needs of the world as they do to selfish or thoughtless needs of the U.S. and of its military-industrial complex. Attacks on the criminal events surrounding 9/11 might speed this process.

Virtually no members of Congress, Democratic or Republican, will relish calling for a further investigation of 9/11. For right now, in addition to other motives, the issue should be used to go after those political prostitutes among elected office-holders who should also be defeated because they are so easily seduced by money and power to vote for immoral wars against weak enemies.

At the Los Angeles meeting of the American Scholars’ Symposium, one of the main speakers, Webster Tarpley, summarized his own views on the events of 9/11. He emphasized that “neocon fascist madmen” had perpetrated the 9/11 “myth.” He went on to say, “The most important thing is that the 9/11 myth is the premise and the root of the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War and the coming attack on Iran. ... We must ... deprive [the myth’s perpetrators] of the ability to stampede and manipulate hundreds of millions of people [with their] ... cynically planned terrorist events.”

Let’s give Webster Tarpley and other mistakenly labeled conspiracists who have labored in the wilderness for so long three cheers.

3) Key Reagan Advisor: "Gullible Americans" Duped by 9/11 Hoax

Key Reagan advisor Paul Craig Roberts: "Don't ask me what happened on 9/11. The official account of the buildings' collapse is improbable."

Gullible Americans By Paul Craig Roberts

I was in China when a July Harris Poll reported that 50 percent of Americans still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when Bush invaded that country, and that 64 percent of Americans still believe that Saddam Hussein had strong links with Al Qaeda.

The Chinese leaders and intellectuals with whom I was meeting were incredulous. How could a majority of the population in an allegedly free country with an allegedly free press be so totally misinformed?

The only answer I could give the Chinese is that Americans would have been the perfect population for Mao and the Gang of Four, because Americans believe anything their government tells them.

Americans never check any facts. Who do you know, for example, who has even read the Report of the 9/11 Commission, much less checked the alleged facts reported in that document. I can answer for you. You don’t know anyone who has read the report or checked the facts.

The two co-chairmen of the 9/11 Commission Report, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, have just released a new book, “Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 9/11 Commission.” Kean and Hamilton reveal that the commission suppressed the fact that Muslim ire toward the US is due to US support for Israel’s persecution and dispossession of the Palestinians, not to our “freedom and democracy” as Bush propagandistically claims. Kean and Hamilton also reveal that the US military committed perjury and lied about its failure to intercept the hijacked airliners. The commission even debated referring the military’s lies to the Justice Department for criminal investigation. Why should we assume that these admissions are the only coverups and lies in the 9/11 Commission Report?

How do you know that 9/11 was a Muslim terrorist plot? How do you know that three World Trade Center buildings collapsed because two were hit by airliners? You only “know” because the government gave you the explanation of what you saw on TV. (Did you even know that three WTC buildings collapsed?)

I still remember the enlightenment I experienced as a student in Russian Studies when I learned that the Czarist secret police would set off bombs and then blame those whom they wanted to arrest.

When Hitler seized dictatorial power in 1933, he told the Germans that his new powers were made necessary by a communist terrorist attack on the Reichstag. When Hitler started World War II by invading Poland, he told the Germans that Poland had crossed the frontier and attacked Germany.

Governments lie all the time--especially governments staffed by neoconservatives whose intellectual godfather, Leo Strauss, taught them that it is permissible to deceive the public in order to achieve their agenda.

Some readers will write to me to say that they saw a TV documentary or read a magazine article verifying the government’s explanation of 9/11. But, of course, these Americans did not check the facts either--and neither did the people who made the documentary and wrote the magazine article.

Scientists and engineers, such as Clemson University Professor of Engineering Dr. Judy Woods and BYU Professor of Physics Dr. Steven Jones, have raised compelling questions about the official account of the collapse of the three WTC buildings. The basic problem for the government's account is that the buildings are known to have fallen at free fall speed, a fact that is inconsistent with the government's "pancaking" theory in which debris from above collapsed the floors below. If the buildings actually "pancaked," then each floor below would have offered resistance to the floors above, and the elapsed time would have been much longer. These experts have also calculated that the buildings did not have sufficient gravitational energy to accommodate the government's theory of the collapse. It is certainly a known and non-controversial fact among physicists and engineers that the only way buildings can collapse at free fall speed into their own footprints is by engineered demolition. Explosives are used to remove the support of floors below before the debris from above arrives. Otherwise, resistance is encountered and the time required for fall increases. Engineered demolition also explains the symmetrical collapse of the buildings into their own foot prints. As it is otherwise improbable for every point in floors below to weaken uniformly, "pancaking" would result in asymmetrical collapse as some elements of the floor would give sooner than others.

Scientific evidence is a tough thing for the American public to handle, and the government knows it. The government can rely on people dismissing things that they cannot understand as "conspiracy theory." But if you are inclined to try to make up your own mind, you can find Dr. Jones' and Dr. Woods’ papers, which have been formally presented to their peers at scientific meetings, on line at http://www.st911.org/

Experts have also pointed out that the buildings' massive steel skeletons comprised a massive heat sink that wicked away the heat from the limited, short-lived fires, thus preventing a heat buildup. Experts also point out that the short-lived, scattered, low-intensity fires could barely reach half the melting point of steel even if they burned all day instead of merely an hour.

Don't ask me to tell you what happened on 9/11. All I know is that the official account of the buildings' collapse is improbable.

Now we are being told another improbable tale. Muslim terrorists in London and Pakistan were caught plotting to commit mass murder by smuggling bottles of explosive liquids on board airliners in hand luggage. Baby formula, shampoo and water bottles allegedly contained the tools of suicide bombers.

How do we know about this plot? Well, the police learned it from an “Islamic militant arrested near the Afghan-Pakistan border several weeks ago.” And how did someone so far away know what British-born people in London were plotting?

Do you really believe that Western and Israeli intelligence services, which were too incompetent to prevent the 9/11 attack, can uncover a London plot by capturing a person on the Afghan border in Pakistan? Why would “an Islamic militant” rat on such a plot even if he knew of it?

More probable explanations of the “plot” are readily available. According to the August 11 Wayne Madsen Report, informed sources in the UK report that “the Tony Blair government, under siege by a Labor Party revolt, cleverly cooked up a new ‘terror’ scare to avert the public’s eyes away from Blair’s increasing political woes. British law enforcement, neocon and intelligence operatives in the US, Israel, and Britain, and Rupert Murdoch’s global media empire cooked up the terrorist plot, liberally borrowing from the failed 1995 ‘Oplan Bjinka’ plot by Pakistan- and Philippines-based terrorist Ramzi Ahmad Yousef to crash 11 trans-Pacific airliners bound from Asia to the US.”

There are other plausible explanations. For example, our puppet in Pakistan decided to arrest some people who were a threat to him. With Bush’s commitment to “building democracy in the Middle East,” our puppet can’t arrest his political enemies without cause, so he lays the blame on a plot.

Any testimony against Muslim plotters by “an Islamic militant” is certain to have been bought and paid for.

Or consider this explanation. Under the Nuremberg standard, Bush and Blair are war criminals. Bush is so worried that he will be held accountable that he has sent his attorney general to consult with the Republican Congress to work out legislation to protect Bush retroactively from his violations of the Geneva Conventions.

Tony Blair is in more danger of finding himself in the dock. Britain is signatory to a treaty that, if justice is done, will place Blair before the International Criminal Court in the Hague.

What better justification for the two war criminals’ illegal actions than the need to foil dastardly plots by Muslims recruited in sting operations by Western intelligence services? The more Bush and Blair can convince their publics that terrorist danger abounds, the less likely Bush and Blair are ever to be held accountable for their crimes.

But surely, some readers might object, our great moral leaders wouldn’t do something political like that!

They most certainly would. As Joshua Micah Marshall wrote in the July 7 issue of Time magazine, the suspicion is “quite reasonable” that “the Bush Administration orchestrates its terror alerts and arrests to goose the GOP’s poll numbers.”

Joshua Micah Marshall proves his conclusion by examining the barrage of color-coded terror alerts, none of which were real, and, yes, it all fits with political needs.

And don’t forget the plot unearthed in Miami to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago. Described by Vice President Cheney as a “very real threat,” the plot turned out to be nothing more than a few harmless whackos recruited by an FBI agent sent out to organize a sting.

There was also the “foiled plot” to blow up the Holland Tunnel and flood downtown New York City with sea water. Thinking New Orleans, the FBI invented this plot without realizing that New York City is above sea level. Of course, most Americans didn’t realize it either.

For six years the Bush regime has been able to count on the ignorant and naive American public to believe whatever tale that is told them. American gullibility has yet to fail the Bush regime.

The government has an endless number of conspiracy theories, but only people who question the government’s conspiracies are derided for “having a conspiracy theory.”

The implication is even worse if we assume that the explosive bottle plot is genuine. It means that America and Britain by their own aggression in Iraq and Afghanistan, and by enabling Israel’s war crimes in Palestine and Lebanon, have created such hatred that Muslims, who identify with Bush’s, Blair’s, and Israel’s victims, are plotting retaliation.

But Bush is prepared. He has taught his untutored public that “they hate us for our freedom and democracy.”

Gentle reader, wise up. The entire world is laughing at you.

4) Dachau Liberator's Son: Why Jews Should Support 9/11 Truth

Why the Jewish Community Should Demand 9/11 Truth

By William E. Douglas, Jr. (Son of William E. Douglas, Sr., who served with the 45th Infantry Division, the first US military to enter and liberate the Dachau concentration camp), author of “The Amateur Parent – A Book on Life, Death, War & Peace, and Everything Else in the Universe.”

It is my belief that when the truth comes out about the attacks of 9/11/2001, we will find that Jewish people, and Moslem people, both here in America and worldwide will have been the most wronged by the false flag operation that the attacks of 9/11/2001 appeared to be.

Recently, I watched a new documentary entitled, “Protocols of Zion,” on CINEMAX cable. Although the subject of anti-Semitism and neo-nazi movements worldwide is a dark and repulsive subject, I was glad to see a documentary bringing this global issue and problem into the light of day. It is important to shine the light on racism so that the world can progress on removing it from the global consciousness. So that we may all move towards a day when we are judged by the content of our character, and not suffer because of the color of our skin, our ethnicity, or religion.

It is with this same urgency for fairness and justice, inspiring me to sit down before the TV late at night when I really should have been going to bed, to watch this interesting documentary, “Protocols of Zion,” that also has driven me to write this essay. As I watched this documentary I became increasingly disturbed that it gave its viewers the impression that anyone questioning the events of 9/11/2001, was suggesting that Israel, or Jewish people, perpetrated the crimes of 9/11/2001.

The film did this by showing the iconoclastic image of the 9/11 truth movement, the “Stop the 9/11 Cover Up” signs now seen throughout the internet in pop culture and political websites, while an audio overlay darkly told of how anti-Semitic and neo-nazis ideas were permeating our culture. This was very disturbing for me, because I personally helped with the original design of the “Stop the 9/11 Cover Up” signs, and raised the funds to print thousands, and send them to San Francisco and also to New York City 9/11 truth activists, where they appeared in this documentary. I, in fact, visited New York City to stand with other 9/11 truth activists at Ground Zero with the signs, which is again where the documentary shot footage of our 9/11 truth seeking action.

The documentary, “Protocols of Zion,” interviews young men on the streets of American cities, who make outlandish and false claims that “4,000 Jews did not show up to work at the World Trade Center on 9/11.” Again, this is ludicrous, inflammatory, and most of all absolutely false. This was a rumor that started soon after the attacks of 9/11, and no one is really sure where that rumor started. My personal belief is that it was planted by the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks.

In the 1960’s there were two programs that are of particular interest here. One is Operation Northwoods, a government covert operational plan which was amazingly signed off on by the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff, calling for attacks on our own military and civilian populations for the purpose of fooling Americans into a war they would otherwise not support. The other program of the 1960’s was the cointellpro operations of the FBI, whereby agents were dressed up to look like anti-war protesters, and assigned to whip up violent actions during what would have otherwise been peaceful protests, in order to cause Americans to turn away from the anti-war message the protesters were trying to share with Americans.

I believe the anti-Semitic and totally ridiculous rumors that 4,000 Jewish people did not show up to work on 9/11/2001, was part of a cointellpro operation designed to get US media, and particularly New York media to turn off its logic regarding the glaring problems with the official story of the events of 9/11/2001. For when one does actually look with clear eyes at the events of 9/11, it becomes obvious very quickly that we have been lied to, and that the facts point to an inside US govt. job with complicity at the highest levels of our government.

I believe that on 9/11/2001 Moslem people worldwide were the victims of a huge lie, and an inside US govt. act of terrorism. HOWEVER, I also believe that Jewish people became victims of the same perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks, who immediately spread a baseless rumor that Jewish people were responsible, to turn Americans minds off from looking at the disturbing facts around the events of 9/11.

The very idea that a foreign government, like Israel, could have pulled off an operation of the magnitude of the events of the 9/11/2001 attacks, under the noses of the US government’s top officials, presiding over the greatest multi-trillion dollar domestic and foreign intelligence organization, and largest military power the world has ever seen, is patently ridiculous. If it weren’t such a tragic thing, the preposterousness of it would be laughable. Yet, it is equally ridiculous to buy the official 9/11 story that 19 rag-tag Moslems were able to pull off such a catalyzing event.

What the evidence now points to is that thermate charges were set in the WTCs days before 9/11/2001, when as Newsday reported normal bomb sniffing dog drills were not held in the days leading up to 9/11/2001. This points to an inside job, by not only those in charge of WTC security, but also by officials who had the steel quickly sent away to China and India to be destroyed before a full forensic investigation could be conducted (amid cries of foul by Fire Engineering Magazine’s editor). Of course there is also the massive air defense failures of 9/11, where four commercial jet liners flew off course for nearly one and half hours over or toward the most protected airspace in the world, and not one . . . not one . . . Air Force fighter interceptor jet arrives until it is too late. And NO ONE is held responsible for this colossal failure of intelligence and defense.

It is my belief that when the truth comes out about the attacks of 9/11/2001, we will find that Jewish people, and Moslem people, both here in America and worldwide will have been the most wronged by the false flag operation that the attacks of 9/11/2001 appeared to be. The perpetrators, I believe, were willing to allow (and perpetrate) a groundswell of hatred for Moslems and Jewish people domestically and worldwide that would wound and poison our world’s psyche for decades to come, as they used that chaos and distraction to control global oil resources. (See Project for a New American Century’s (PNAC’s) vision paper calling for this, but acknowledging that it would take a massive attack on the American homeland for Americans to support such foreign adventures. This was written before Bush’s election. PNAC members included Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Fife, etc.)

One thing that documentaries and innuendo like “Protocols of Zion” failed to do, is to point out that some of the earliest organizers of the 9/11 truth movement in New York City, were Jewish people. Why does the media allow and sometimes promote the innuendo that the 9/11 truth movement is somehow anti-Semitic, and does not mention that Jewish Americans were at the forefront of the 9/11 truth efforts? Perhaps the same reason that they keep repeating that 9/11 was the work of 19 ragtag Moslem extremists who fooled the greatest intelligence and military in human history, in spite of the growing body of evidence that this was impossible and not true. Because they were fed these stories by US government officials, or those under their direction, who according to emerging evidence look increasingly guilty of treason, and the cover up of that crime.

Jewish Americans and Moslem Americans need to stand together and DEMAND 9/11 truth. American Christians need to stand with them because to sit back and watch peoples being used and abused by obvious lies, goes against everything our religion stands for. American media, and world media need to stand for and demand TRUTH, and not allow themselves to be played. I once read that Nazi propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, said that propaganda was not meant to fool the intelligencia, but rather to give them an excuse. Meaning that it was more comfortable for the media, and others who should have known better, to play along with a lie, then to do the discomforting work of digging for the hard truth.

The best way for Jewish Americans to battle the dangerous disinformation and the LIES of Jewish involvement in the attacks of 9/11/2001, isn’t to subscribe to “The Protocols of Zion” documentaries approach of, either through ignorance or intent, in effect defaming 9/11 truth seekers, but rather to join with legitimate 9/11 truth seeking organizations and DEMAND a full accounting of the facts of 9/11. Because in the end, the emerging facts show they most likely lead to the highest levels of the United States government.

We do not know where the anti-Semitic rumors came from after 9/11, but we do know that perpetrators of huge government crimes use cointellpro operations to distract the mainstream public from looking at real facts. If Jewish people were used as sacrificial lambs by the perpetrators of 9/11/2001, to draw attention away from their crimes, that would be a horrendous crime beyond comprehension, given what Jewish people have suffered in recent history. My father was among the first liberators of the Dachau concentration camp. That image haunted him for the rest of his life. My father would NEVER tolerate anti-Semitism, and neither would I. THAT is why I DEMAND 9/11 truth.
