>>As a member of AE911Truth, this is pretty scary.

That's what they want is fear. Don't give them that.

Bush did the same thing on the 5th Anniversary and the media did obey out of fear. People started coming out of their shells by the very next anniversary to ask what the heck happened that day. That's how they win is when people get scared and shut up.

God bless all the truthers who have had the courage to go public and STAY public.
You all lift my spirits.

as the facts speak quite well for themselves.

You're correct, this is very serious and the only real "trap" we need to avoid is excluding facts for any reason.

The more facts we have, the closer to reality we get. This is a reality based movement, our mission is to confront the myth, expose the lies and avoid speculation (in public).

The truth movement needs to remain true to its goal of getting open and independent investigations into the events of 9/11/01 and bringing the real perpetrators to justice and fully exposing their sponsors.

We have no choice, there is no alternative path forward. This is not a time for "politics" no matter how messy it gets or uncomfortable it makes certain people feel.

There is now a growing body of evidence clearly showing that Israeli elements, including members of the Mossad, were involved. This cannot be denied and should not be "under emphasized" or we risk losing our way to the truth and, ultimately, creating the peaceful, sustainable future all humans desire and deserve.

I think by now it should be clear to most people who have studied the events of 9/11/01 that those ultimately responsible for it will all have three things in common: an insatiable thirst for power, a corrupt soul and no spiritual awareness. The perpetrators will come from many places and speak a variety of languages. Thus, any ethnic, cultural or religious generalizations are simply an irrelevant distraction and a pointless diversion.

Let's keep our eyes on the prize, brothers and sisters!

The truth shall set us free. Love is the only way forward.

I agree with you.

But just look at comments here. There is that chance that people will do and say just what Simon Wiesenthal accuses them of.

"There is now a growing body of evidence clearly showing that Israeli elements, including members of the Mossad, were involved"

Why do you stress the involvement of the Mossad while leaving out other foreign intelligence agencies who were clearly involved such as the MI5 as well as the ISI?

MI5, nor ISI were caught "documenting the event". Mossad agents WERE.

Indeed, but we won't be attacked endlessly if some of us mistake "British people" for MI5, whereas we will be if we mistake "Jews" for Mossad.

There are many who want us to conflate Jews with all kinds of things.

Did they "look Jewish"? I think the identification was that they were Israeli nationals who got themselves deported back to Israel. I have no idea if they were/are self-identified Jews.

I'm not talking about that specific event, but the general situation of discussions of Israel and 9/11 and what happens in those and what is pushed on people or mixed with reasonable stuff.

For example, I get emails promoting Bollyn all the time. But in a recent essay of his that is talking about Israel's role in 9/11, he writes

"Zionist Jews established their media empire in the United States in the early 1900s and have been able to control how Americans think for generations."

That will be offensive to Jewish people and has nothing really to do with Israel's role on 9/11/01 but everything to do with turning people against Zionist Jews in general. This is the classic mixing of anti-semitic stuff with legitimate questions about the role of Israelis or Mossad.

Bollyn's conflation of Zionism and Jewish identity should be offensive to non-Jews, too. :) But when you phrase it "turning people against Zionist Jews in general" you are also improperly conflating an ideology and a religious/cultural identity. I'm against Zionists but not against Jews.

I think you would see that I was clearly stating that the perpetrators are from many countries and that their ethnicity, "religion" and nationality are irrelevant.

I was specifically responding to a comment that we need to avoid falling into the "Jewish trap" and stating that as long as we adhere to a policy of civil promulgation of confirmed facts we should not have to modify our public outreach approach to placate any one group.

Nine months ago I argued that we should minimize the role of the Mossad and other Israeli elements to avoid this pubic relations ugliness, I no longer feel that is wise, justified or strategically advantageous. In fact, I would argue the opposite now, we need to expose those who are working to stifle the truth and confront them directly whenever and wherever possible.

Now, with all that said, as language describes reality it is critically important. Thus, we should never confuse Jewish people with Zionists just as we should never confuse Christians with neo-cons, conservatives with Republicans or progressives with Democrats. Facts are precise; and clear, accurate language is required when describing events and people.

In answer your specific question, I would include MI5, MI6, Saudi Intelligence and the ISI as foreign intelligence agencies that have been solidly linked to the crimes of 9/11 and/or its cover-up. Many other foreign intelligence services have information that would be useful in exposing the crimes of 9/11, as well, most notably the Russian and Chinese services. Additionally, I'm quite certain that all the European intelligence services have by now concluded that al Qaeda did not perpetrate 9/11.

We need to pursue and promote the truth in as unbiased and civil a manner as possible.

I hope that you and yours are well.

The truth shall set us free. Love is the only way forward.

Leftwright, thanks for clarifying your point...and I certainly agree with everything you stated above. I just think it's critically important to fairly balance the blame out to ALL parties who were involved in the planning, orchestration, execution, and cover-up of the 9/11 attack. We have counter-intell who are more than 'at the ready' to twist our mistakes out of whack so the unwitting outside will conflate us with anti-semites, etc. This is a movement, like no other, of multi-tasking. Unfortunately it's quite a bit like the highway chase scene in The Matrix: Reloaded. We have multiple obstacles seeking to thwart our objective all at once. Among other things, this is a movement of bobbing and weaving, as well as steering, breaking, and accelerating.

I'm really wondering what possible basis you have, birdwatcher, for describing this new site as "clearly anarchist" in design. Surely it must come down to color scheme and font -- because the anarchists I know don't describe themselves as "patriotic Americans" and mostly are not for Ron Paul. I think you're using the term carelessly -- but if you're implying that it is "anarchist" in the sense that it promotes violence, then you are making a dangerous and baseless assertion.

This is a time when people need to be especially careful about who amongst us we may marginalize, because if a real threat materializes, those people are going to be the first targets. So maybe there are some lines you are going to draw to distinguish who is your ally and who is not -- fine, but please base them on something more substantial than your dislike of their design choices and the fact that they are selling t-shirts.

The public identity and vision of the 9-11 truth movement is not a trivial matter. As the founding graphic designer of the national 9-11 truth movement, I will assure you that my concern is rooted in the bigger picture of public relations.

There is a large segment of "visually oriented" busy Americans who form their conclusions based on their quick perception from surfing the look and feel of a website. No matter the fine text at truther.org that states "The truth movement is not a fringe element" (a curious inclusion), elements of the site design work together to give a different impression to website surfers. (visual power is often a blind spot to many intellects who love the written word).

In the near future, after general public perception has been successfully swayed to relegate the 9-11 truth movement to same counterculture stature as anarchists, this will be the time when we are all in REAL trouble. Due to general "public perception" that anarchists are potentially violent, authorities have been able to target anarchists for very aggressive treatment and investigation. (Recall Geraldo Rivero's recent public reference to 9-11 protesters as "a group of anarchists!")

The mixing of credible identities will also be associated with truther.org's strategic marketing decision to use Sex (via provocative models) to sell its own truther.org t-shirts. Details will be addressed in the truther.org website analysis to be published soon.
