Arizona Senator Karen Johnson Reads 9/11 Truth Into the Record
SENATOR KAREN JOHNSON attended the 2006 9/11 Truth conference in Phoenix and has now brought the need to reexamine 9/11 to the Senate floor (June 10, 2008 Archives). Her speech was detailed and descriptive, urging her fellows to recognize that what they saw that day (and in materials she provided them) was not a building collapse but rather the result of explosions. She has stood by Blair Gadsby as he has valiantly gone without food for many days now in front of Senator John McCain's Phoenix office in the effort to obtain a couple of hours with Senator McCain on the 9/11 issue.

Please help to get 45,000 New York City signatures by mid-May for a referendum on the November ballot to create a new, independent Commission with subpoena power. Because this is a
citizens' ballot-initiative campaign, the Commission would be
legally recognized. Its primary purpose would be to REINVESTIGATE 9/11 and to attend to the plight of the First Responders. Direct your New York City friends to

Oscar-Winning Actress Questions 9/11
Environmental activist, former spokesperson for Greenpeace, now a 9/11 skeptic!
MARION COTILLARD, who scarfed up the year's best-actress awards, made statements on
Paris Premiere, Paris Derniere about the collapse of the Twin Towers. "We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes -- are they burned? There was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burned for 24 hours. It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed." Marion may be referring (first) to the Empire State Building which was struck by a plane decades ago, generating the caution taken by World Trade Center architects and engineers to ensure that the Twin Towers
could withstand the impact of a Boeing airliner. The second reference is to the Windsor Tower in Madrid, which burned inferno-style for an entire weekend and still remained upright, its steel frame resilient. Ms. Cotillard is certainly using her brain, thank goodness, and setting quite an example!
Shell Game or Shill Game? We weren't going to say anything, but now we're just going to
ask. A new book has just come out called "The Shell Game," heavily promoted by many in the 9/11 movement as a boon to our cause, and, amazingly, this book hit the NY Times bestseller list having barely reached the stores! How? The 9/11 movement was urged by its author and publicity team to rush out and buy copies ($27 each) and promote the book like crazy to "everyone you know." In addition, as publishers who decide to create a bestseller often do, dozens of free copies were mailed to 9/11 Truth organizers and participants (including the bigwigs). Many admitted that they had not read the book, but were promoting it because they were told to create a buzz. Some began to read the book and stopped after a few chapters because "it was LIHOP." Others made it all the way through and decided it was "not that bad." Many did not seem to know quite why they were promoting it, other than that the author was linking from his website to 9/11 websites.
What is "The Shell Game" all about?
Read one 9/11 Truther's review here. While this is a very fair and balanced review, giving Mr. Alten credit for trying to "impact a certain audience which 9/11 Truth might not otherwise reach," of note is the fact that the book altogether dodges the issue of the controlled demolition of the Twin Towers and Building 7, which is what most 9/11 Truthers believe themselves to be all about. In addition, Mr. Alten [blames] 9/11 on a combination of the Neocons and their Arab patsies, without explaining how the Neocons got there in the first place and/or who the "Arabs" really are. A study of the origins of false-flag terror will give you the answers, but they are not in Mr. Alten's book.
Quote from the jacket:
"Though the novel is written as fiction, it is filled with all-too-real details provided by insiders in the oil industry, military and Middle Eastern affairs that extrapolates (sic)
real events from the past and present that will lead us down a path of self-destruction ... unless we stop the insanity now!" What this means is up for grabs. Real events "will lead us down a path of self-destruction" (a prediction? and how?) "unless we stop this insanity" (whose?) now!
Full of diatribes on peak oil, global warming and Islamic fundamentalism, paging through "The Shell Game" feels a bit like surfing TV. Also, if Joe Public rushes to read the book because it's on the bestseller list (thanks to 9/11 Truthers), and then learns from 9/11 websites that the buildings were brought down by explosives, will he believe the Arabs put the bombs in the buildings?? Where are the perps? Not in Mr. Alten's book.
In the first week of February, Mr. Alten's book fell from 31st on the NYT bestseller list to 33rd place. He dispatched a frantic email to 9/11 Truthers imploring them to buy more books to help him get a movie deal. "This movie deal would pay me a million dollars (and I desperately need the deal) and here I am risking it all ... my career, my deal with [my] producer ... all to reach the masses on Shell Game so that America can hear the truth about 9/11." What truth?, and join the club, Bub. We'd all love a million-dollar movie deal. Alten again is urging Truthers to "buy as many copies of The Shell Game as [you] can afford, but
at least one each week for two weeks." He needs to get on The Daily Show, Anderson Cooper and Letterman! And, he says, "the difference between #33 and #15 [on the NYT bestseller list] is about 12,000 sales in a week."
So, folks, should we push even harder for Steve? He got a free marketing force from us already, and now he wants more. Will the public translate LIHOP into MIHOP from a menu of Muslim-bashing and peak oil? From page 121: "
Oil fuels the economy, the economy fuels the military, and it was a combination of all three that gave birth to the three groups vying for control of the Middle East: the House of Saud, the Neo-Conservatives and the Islamic extremists. All three played a part in the events of 9/11, and all three will be involved when a nuclear detonation wipes out an American city." Fair and balanced? You decide.
Japanese Parliament Member Questions 9/11
January 12, 2008 - Yukihisa Fujita, of the Japanese House of Councillors, made a 20-minute statement raising questions about the events of 9/11 to members of the upper house of the Diet (parliament) of Japan. "How could terrorists attack the Pentagon?" was one question, presented with photos of the famous hole in the building. Fujita showed more photos -- the Twin Towers exploding, the famous Naudet Brothers' "boom-boom-boom" firemen, the implosion of Building 7. He reminded the Councillors that Japanese nationals were killed that day, which was a crime that ought to be properly investigated. The Japanese government, said Fujita, had simply relied on the official story peddled by the United States, blaming Al Qaeda for the deed. Why not look further, as so many people in America were now doing?
