Arizona State Senator Karen Johnson Honors Blair Gadsby & Brings 9/11 Truth to the Arizona State Senate - June 10, 2008.

| |


Much better quality video

"...in particular, I would like to introduce to you a very courageous man named Blair Gadsby. I'm going to ask the folks with Blair to help him stand, as I tell you just a little bit about him. Blair is very weak, because he has been fasting for more than two weeks to try to bring attention to the cause of 9/11 Truth. This is the 16th day that Blair has gone without food, and spent his day outside the office of U.S. Senator John McCain, pleading with the Senator to take a look at new evidence of the 9/11 crimes.

We have one man here, who is sacrificing his own personal needs and desires, to stand boldly, pleading for the world to take notice, to question, to research, and not place their lives in the hands of media sound bites. To think for themselves, consciously and critically.

Blair is an educator, and to me this is what great educators do. Thousands of people all over the country, and actually, around the world have been watching on the internet as this hunger strike progresses here in Phoenix. I want Blair to know that I am one of his biggest fans, and that good people everywhere admire him for his courage and determination.

Please give a warm welcome to Blair Gadsby and the 9/11 Truth movement."

- Senator Karen Johnson, June 10, 2008.

The CONSTITUTION is NOT going to "collapse" into pulverized dust no matter how much thermate/explosives or planes they throw at it

What a beautiful sight to see

This needs to go viral. I'm sending this video everywhere.

Couldn't agree with you more.

Lets make this a BIG ISSUE for the Arizonan Presidential Republican candidate - McCain.

FORCE him to address what is being discussed in his own State Legislature.

ITS UP TO US TO TAKE THIS TO THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA and FORCE the issue.

Frankly i believe this is the biggest political break we have got in a long long while and with Kucinich's impeachment move, albeit very late, is good fuel for the Truth Movement.

Now or Never.

Fantastic

Fantastic. This is great activism at work.

Arabesque: 911 Truth

Pinch me

Now there are elected officials in Japan (Yukihisa Fujita), USA (Karen Johnson) and Canada (Libby Davies) who have read doubts about the official 9/11 story into legislative assemblies. Also, Italian EU MP Giulietto Chiesa hosted a screening of 9/11 truth movie Zero in EU facilities.

If you have a website

why not embed this video somewhere prominent? It's easy - it must be - I just did.

Video Here Also

Hi Everyone – Thanks to everyone who came to the Arizona Senate today to lend their support to Senator Johnson for her Floor speech on 9/11. She is most appreciative and expresses her thanks to everyone. Thank you also to all those who are on this list who have called or emailed. It’s nice of you to take the time to do that. There have been a number of media calls this afternoon. Some will turn out to be negative, but I think the majority will be positive.

One of the main goals of the Floor speech is to provide a video so that other state legislators can see that it’s not so scary to speak out on this issue. So do take a look at the video ….

Click on “video” on the line for June 10/Senate Floor.

… and share it with legislators in other states.

I’m enclosing a copy of her Floor speech, and also a picture of all the supporters who came to the Senate today – along with our hero, Blair! Blair is still doing well, and we are glad we had an excuse to get him inside even for a few hours today. It was supposed to be 107 degrees here in Phoenix today – beastly hot.

I commend Senator Johnson

I commend Senator Johnson for bringing this issue forward, however, I do not feel that making Controlled Demolition the focus point of her presentation was a good idea. The suspcious activites of the Bush Administration and conflicts of interests within the 9/11 Commission, which I outlined in the this video:


are enough to warrent a new investigation. I believe that the points Dennis Kucinich made last night in Articles 33 and 34 in his call for the impeachment of the president should be the focus of the call for a new investigation. Do I believe the collapse of the towers should be reexamined? Yes. However, I just feel that with the efforts by popular mechanics and others to "debunk" the theory of controlled demolition will be looked to by those looking to calm their nerves, thus immediately halting all progress, if CD is the focus point of the call for a new investigation. Mind you, some of us will turn to books like Debunking 9/11 Debunking and examine both sides, but most will not. Most will say, and already have said, "Oh the 9/11 Truth Movement? They're main belief is that the buldings were blown up? Yeah, Popular Mechanics debunked that, so there's nothing to examine there." The obstruction of justice and the failure to prevent the attacks CANNOT be debunked, and therefore, are the most solid things to use when demanding a new investigation.

Many of you will not like what I just said, but I believe it has been a grave error on the part of the movement to make controlled demolition the "main" issue.

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand at the mongrel dogs who teach! Fearing not that I'd become my enemy in the instant that I preach! My pathway led by confusion boats...mutiny from stern to bow!

Controlled demolition is what sold me on 9/11 truth...

... and I'm not particularly bright. Simply focusing on Bush's delay tactics could suggest government incompetence, however controlled demolitions clearly show government malfeasance. The main reason I want a new investigation is to know who knocked down those towers and killed all those people.

"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government." -The Declaration of Independence

It's what sold me as well.

It's what sold me as well. However, prior knowledge and obstruction of justice CANNOT be legitimately refuted. CD can be argued ENDLESSLY, and if someone is not willing to believe it, they never will. I can PROVE government cover-ups, etc. but CD canot be proven without access to the physical evidence.

Well said, Justin

The fraud of the investigation is a crime that can be proved to even the most skeptical person. Nobody is saying "don't talk about CD," but I would say, "Don't rest your entire case on CD."

How those buildings came down...

Is a legitimate issue. I've spoken to a family member who I will not mention who thinks thinks the wounds their loved one received coincide with the wounds someone would receive from explosions.

However... it is ONE issue. One of 1,000,000 issues. One of 1,000,000 issues because the investigation we got was a complete, and total farce. From beginning to end. Shouldn't the "issue" of the movement be that we DESERVE to know what happened on the day that created the "Post-9/11 World?" A world where our civil liberties are disappearing. A world where our country can be bankrupted. A world where wars can be fought pre-emptively. A world where over a millions innocents have been slaughtered. A world where our own people are sacrificed in foreign lands. A world where Executive Power can be expanded upon, and abused. A world where torture is legitimate. A world where evidence obtained through torture is considered legitimate. A world where 9/11 First Responders are sick and dying. A world where a good portion of 2,973 families don't know the who, how, and why their loved ones were brutally murdered.

I VERY MUCH admire Blair Gadsby for what he is doing as well as Sen. Johnson. I think her speech was very good. It just wouldn't have been my speech.


Do these people deserve to know how and why their loved ones were murdered? Do we deserve to know how and why 9/11 happened?

My sentiments exactly,

My sentiments exactly, Jon.

CD is a manner of introduction with minimal time ...

In my opinion, Senator Johnson's speech was just opening the door. She had limited time, so trying to dive into the million other valid issues was not practical for this limited purpose, in an environment that most likely did not open it's arms or ears to any desire to expose the truth.

I completely agree.

I completely agree. Recently I tried to talk to my parents for the first time about 9/11, reeling off all these contradictions in testimonies, withholding of evidence etc, and they weren't up for it at all, just made excuses for it and shrugged it off. I was surprised, since both are generally well-informed on history and politics. So I figured they had probably rarely seen the collapses since the week of 9/11 when it was played so much in the context of the official story. They weren't aware of WTC7, so when I showed them the collapses, I could see the sudden doubt in their faces, and with regard to WTC7, the first they said was, 'no, fire just doesn't do that'. It's the most direct way of placing doubt I believe. Something you can SEE is far more effective that listing details which are hard to digest of a moment. That initial doubt in many cases will lead to people looking further into the issue and discovering all the other anomalies in the story. These will make a lot more sense, and be a lot more powerful, once the doubt has been planted. Well, this is the case in my experience anyway.

Controlled Demolition

The science of the "collapse" of the three towers is hard and compelling evidence.

Thank you so much, Senator Johnson, for your clarity and courage.

Senator Johnson, Naomi Klein and Naomi Wolf are three modern American female heroes.

It's a 10.

There we go...

As you - Justin - as well as you - Jon - know, I couldn't agree more with what the two of you are saying here.
Glad we can finally agree, again, Jon. :-)

Edit: I won't lie, this speech was pretty good. Almost as good as Kucinich's last three articles of impeachment... :-)

Going to the heart of the Big Lie

I long disbelieved the official story, with all its talk of 'failures' and 'negligence'; but being convinced of CD at the WTC, after having long dismissing it, was like having my eyes opened all over again.

Of course we encounter people who put up psychological barriers against even considering these arguments, but for those who open their minds even a bit, CD brings people to the question that's at the heart of the matter: Who did this? What even many in the truth movement fail to appreciate, it seems to me, is that you can demonstrate atrocious government conduct to your heart's content, can even convince people of it (heck, they might have even reached this conclusion on their own already), and still, so long as the basic characterization of the purveyors of the crime goes unchallenged, then dread fear takes over and they will put up with this administration--atrociousness and all--for the sake of uniting against this terrifying foreign enemy.

Great Speech ! Great Lady !~ CD all the way!

It's controlled demolition all the way ... let the chips fall where they may ! ! ! I am not a gambling man but I would bet it all on controlled demolition, and why not tell it like it is. Sure we don't have all the answers but let's not beat around the BUSH ! Never mind the debunkers the truth is on our side, we have nothing to fear and we need to wake people up. When they have heard the controlled demolition story enough they will start checking it out for themselves. BELIEVE YOUR EYES NOT THE LIES!

It's a theory, not a fact.

[below viewing threshold, show/hide comment]

'The only reasonable theory available'

As DRG has stated it on more than one occasion, CD is 'the only reasonable theory available' for accounting for all the evidence at the WTC on 9/11. The official theory for why the buildings fell is preposterous, and we shouldn't hesitate to say so. Popular Mechanics defense of it was purely political and un-scientific. To shy away from this glaring problem with the official story is to act as if we've been effectively rebutted on this point, when we really have not been at all.

And again, you can demonstrate cover-ups to your heart's content, and you still won't fundamentally weaken the Bush/Cheney administration, and all the forces of militarism and authoritarianism, so long as you leave untouched the basic premise of a terrifying foreign menace as being ultimately responsible for 9/11.

It's the cover-up...

That kills you. Not the crime. For every scientific find Dr. Jones makes regarding the collapse of those towers, another scientist will refute it, and we will spend an eternity arguing back and forth about how those towers came down, ultimately, accomplishing nothing. I'm not here to accomplish nothing.

One of the reasons the idea of Controlled Demolition is so popular is because it's EASY. It requires no reading of any kind. As Allen Dulles once said, "Americans don't read." Personally, I wish the entire movement would start to read. Would start to research, and not depend on videos to tell them what's going on.

I like to focus on things debunkers and the media refuse to focus on. The movement has been turned into an easy to deal with, defined by the media "movement that thinks the towers were brought down by Controlled Demolition", and I think it's a shame.


Do these people deserve to know how and why their loved ones were murdered? Do we deserve to know how and why 9/11 happened?

Good point about the cover up,

I agree about your idea that the cover up is the issue, however without an insider exposing the truth, the chance that more research is going to result in criminal prosecution is minimal. How many people have done great research on the JFK, RFK and MLK murders? People inherently know that the collapse of WTC 7 is only possible with demolition, the videos are strong historical documentation that people can relate to.
In the end there will never be a credible alternative to controlled demolition provided for Bldg 7. Perhaps if enough of us start shouting loud enough and demanding a new investigation then some on the inside will
provide the evidence needed out of a sense of justice or to save their own skin. If a state senator is willing to stand up and say it looks like controlled demolition then I for one am willing to support her and back her 100 percent.
