This letter is a bit lengthy, but I feel it necessary to include as much of a base of sources as possible to show these matters are not “conspiracy theories,” but facts. Hard and tender truths that all citizens have a right to know.

If these are “conspiracy theories,” I challenge those who refute the evidence I present here to provide their own evidence ((without (fear—psyops) propaganda and spin)) that the evidence from the sources I give is wrong. Just the legitimate well-researched, unbiased facts, please!

There are two very crucial issues that I have not heard being put forth as election issues. The overarching items—that encompass most other issues that are important to Canadian citizens who care about a “life economy” rather than the “market economy”—to be dealt with here in Canada are an independent Canadian investigation into September 11, 2001, and the SPP (Security and Prosperity Partnership/NAU, and by extension TILMA, and a trade deal with the EU—that won’t be discussed until “after the election.”) I have not seen them listed with the other election items for any of the “recognized” political parties here in Canada, or heard about them in the media election coverage, and wasn't sure if they were simply forgotten or they are something that's not on the election table.

In October 2007, Stephane Dion said, at a town hall meeting here in Edmonton, Alberta that we were not in Afghanistan in retribution for the attacks of 9/11, and that somehow we are peacekeeping in this war of aggression, which conflicts with the official government account of why we are there. The “official” account of why we are there, according to then-Defense Minister Gordon O’Connor in an interview in Edmonton in January 2007, is that Canada’s involvement in Afghanistan is in "retribution" for the Canadian lives lost on 9/11. Yet there has been no investigation by the Canadian government to show why our troops, their families with their losses of husbands, brothers, fathers and sons, wives, sisters, mothers and daughters, the Afghani and Iraqi civilians, as well as our civil liberties and human rights are being sacrificed in the lie of “The War On Terror.” SEE VIDEO: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ29MwQk_gU

Unfortunately, Mr. Dion failed to address the issue further.

I am very concerned regarding 9/11, and the anomalies that occurred that day, and Canada's involvement in Afghanistan in "retribution" for the Canadian lives lost on September 11, 2001.

Why has Canada not investigated the Canadian's deaths from that day? In 7 years??!!!!
It took the US 441 days before they started their investigation, only because the Jersey Girls made them—with their relentless pursuit of the truth—and then the US Administration tried to appoint a questionable rogue (Kissinger-to loud outcry) to head the 9/11 Commission. (Reminiscent of the Warren Commission?) When the report came out it simply did not answer many questions and distorted many others. Where were our politicians then? It was after all the "official report," and did our parliamentarians not read this report? Did they have "no comment?" There were 24 Canadian deaths after all.
Why haven't any of our big party (the ones that make the news) politicians asked for an investigation?

Why have our politicians turned a blind eye to this matter and went along with George Bush, Dick Cheney et al. and an illegal invasion and occupation? Not only in one, but in TWO countries. (Yes, we are in Iraq in a big way (see this link: http://coat.ncf.ca/articles/Canada_Iraq.htm ) and not necessarily with only troops (special) on the ground. Canada is supplying a lot to the war in Iraq, even though we've been told we are not in Iraq, as quoted by Paul Martin--he also said we're not participating in BMD (Ballistic Missile Defense), even though Canada's been involved for quite a few years and the major parties are not saying anything about these issues either.

and

There is a lot of evidence that has been omitted and distorted, to hide government knowledge of what happened that day. If there were an independent investigation to show that the terrorists did not come from the Middle East, but came from much closer to home, there are experts and scientists and scholars supporting THE TRUTH, whose voices have been suppressed, that would expose the omissions and distortions put forth by The 9/11 Commission Report.

For example:

Steven E. Jones, a Brigham Young University physics professor, presents evidence that three WTC skyscrapers completely collapsed on 9/11 and that the "Twin Towers and Building 7 (WTC 7) were brought down, not just by impact damage and fires, but through the use of pre-positioned cutter-charges." Larry Silverstein even admitted as much on national television, that WTC 7 (which was not hit by a plane and was reported as having collapsed 20 minutes before it actually did on BBC TV) should be "pulled".

"Pulled" is a demolition term. And in order to be pulled, there would have to have been explosives placed before hand very precisely to have the building completely collapse neatly into its own footprint in 6.5 seconds. Employees that worked in some of the offices in WTC1, WTC2, and WTC 7 said there had been quite a bit of strange activity in the buildings in the few weeks and days before the tragedy. Power downs (in a highly computerized environment) and such, with no explanation of the activities. Many eyewitnesses stated that they heard many explosions at Ground Zero that day, yet this avenue of investigation has never been pursued by those other than citizens who want the truth, not the lies.

David Ray Griffin, a Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Theology, Emeritus, at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California, has written several books calling for further investigation of the Bush administration's relationship to 9/11. Theses books include “The new Pearl Harbor: disturbing questions about the Bush administration and 9/11,” “The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions" (2005) gives evidence that the report is "a 571-page lie," and his latest book “9/11 Contradictions.”

Former German Minister said WTC 7 was used as a Command Center to run 9/11.

A Japanese minister has questioned 9/11 in their parliament.

On August 12th, 2005, following a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the New York Times and some family members of victims, the New York Fire Department was forced to release the transcripts of 'fresh' oral evidence captured on tape shortly after 9/11 from reporters, fire fighters, police officers, and people who worked in the towers.

Barrie Zwicker, a journalist who deeply questioned the official story of the event, documents eyewitness testimony that was suppressed and presents "26 Exhibits " that "prove beyond a reasonable doubt" that the official story of 9/11 to be a terror fraud, in his book "Towers of Deception". There are others producing evidence to contradict the "official" story, yet that evidence is either suppressed or dismissed as a "conspiracy theory." The fact is there IS a conspiracy and we're letting it develop into fruition (and fascism--right here in Canada). Very few in the media and in politics have failed to ask even elementary questions about the actual evidence that has been presented by independent researchers, architects, engineers, scholars, pilots, retired military officials, and scientists, to refute the official story.

I would like to point you to some websites, among many others, that are questioning the official story:

And this from the Council on Foreign Relations (Specifically the plan for the SPP and the NAU):

and an article tying in PNAC (PROJECT FOR a NEW AMERICAN CENTURY) to 911:
http://www.tvnewslies.org/html/stop_ignoring_9_11___pnac.html

These are only a very few examples of people and evidence. There are many of us who are concerned and we want questions answered by our "leaders,” as actions for "retribution" are made in our names.

Using 9/11 as the pretext for the "WAR ON TERROR" will continue to erode our freedoms, security, and prosperity. The only ones benefiting from this illegal war (and all the other illegal activities the Canadian military and RCMP is conducting on our behalf--e.g. Haiti: http://coat.ncf.ca/our_magazine/links/60/60.htm; http://coat.ncf.ca/our_magazine/links/61/61-TOC.htm; http://coat.ncf.ca/our_magazine/links/62/62.htm;) are the war-mongers and profiteers.
The rest of us lose everything we value: freedom, democracy, our constitutional rights and our sovereignty. 9/11 is a "useful crisis" to help bring in the SPP and the NAU, among other agreements that are detrimental to all Canadian citizens as well as citizens in the US and Mexico. Not to mention the fact that Alberta Tar Sands are helping to "fuel" the US military's illegal war and occupation, while causing degradation of our planetary environment at the same time.

There are several issues I do not see being addressed by the major political parties here in Canada, but at the moment, for me as well as a growing number of citizens, these are critical issues. Because 9/11 was a "USEFUL CRISIS... Another Pearl Harbour," the citizens are bearing the consequences. We are being swallowed up by stealth, right in front of our eyes. The public is held away from "secret" meetings by closed doors, fortified barricades, and tear gas, rubber bullets, and riot police (tasers in the future?). Meetings where the public's future is determined. There are too damn many secrets that are hidden from the public.

The issue is not if you're left-wing, right-wing, centre-right, center-left, far-left, and far-right, centrist or wherever a citizen’s political/social sensibility has been slotted. Those labels are irrelevant when a country's sovereignty is at stake and in peril, as Canada's is now, with a media and our politicians so HUSH HUSH about these very important matters before us. Why the deafening silence? I did hear a very slight bit of talk about the SPP from the federal NDP when the SPP was held earlier this year in New Orleans, and I appreciate that. Even so, that is not enough. The citizens MUST be involved in debate and discussions of these matters, and MUST be in on the decision-making process if we truly are a democracy. The Provincial NDP here in Alberta say the SPP (and by extension NAFTA and the NAU) is a federal matter. It also it appears they will not support an investigation into 9/11. Does the federal government think TILMA is strictly a provincial matter? On the provincial level, during our recent provincial election campaign, I did ask Brian Mason (NDP) about TILMA on a phone-in radio show on CBC, and I felt both the host and Brian blew me off. Nothing beyond, "We'll look at it," in a disinterested fashion.

Many of our "elected leaders," provincially and federally have attended the highly secret, in plain view, Bilderberg meetings. Stephen Harper, Stephane Dion, Paul Martin, Jean Chrétien, Mike Harris, Ralph Klein, and others. They cannot have positions in government when they attend, and the attendee list shows the political, media, and financial elite of the world deciding, once again, our very lives and futures.
In secret!! What gives?? Is it coincidence that several of our "democratically elected" have made it to high political positions after attendance at these "secret, private" meetings?

I have heard only of one party (Canada Action Party; thanks to a friend who sent me information) in Canada talk about events and activities that are taking place, and providing evidence to back up its claims, including calling for a complete stop to the SPP/NAU; getting people into government who look after their citizens (who pay with their taxes, labour and resources) and not support the interests of corporations and the corporate/police state; and having an independent investigation into the Canadian deaths on 9/11. Oddly enough, but not surprisingly, the Canadian citizens NEVER hear about views that these "fringe" parties have to offer in "the news." About our reality and our future. (Never mind hearing of other countries in the world that are being exploited on a grander scale by us and our allies. Their futures are infinitely more compromised now than before 9/11. Do we think our human rights are superior here in the West? We are building arms and munitions here in Canada, and supplying police and troops to protect corporate interests in several countries in the world under the guise of our previous reputation as "peacekeepers.")

In the US, there needs to be a truly independent investigation reopened on what really happened September 11, 2001. The 9/11 Commission Report has omitted and distorted much of what really happened that day. This investigation was conducted without citizen scrutiny or dialogue and then presented as fact to the citizens. The Patriot Act 1&2 were enacted eroding civil liberties and rights of the citizens while the corporate world moved in to profit from these wars and enact their very Orwellian mass surveillance on the public, with official blessing.

So we can be "safe" from the "terrorists." We are far less safe than ever in this "War on Terrorism" 'that will not end in our lifetime.' People who are asking questions about that day and the attendant anomalies are thought of, in US administration, as terrorists and the "enemy within." Check this out: http://coat.ncf.ca/ARMX/SecureCanada.htm

9/11 must also be investigated, without bias, by Canada because of the Canadian deaths. When people get killed in our cities, there are always investigations. Here in Alberta, we have recently had investigations into 500 dead ducks in the tar “ponds,” dead sting rays at the Calgary Zoo, and investigations into many other issues.

Why is 9/11 different? Since 9/11, the noose is tightening on the public (more poverty, homelessness, despair and the many others just getting by) while the corporate profits soar, from our resources, labour and rights as citizens. Not to mention the degradation to the environment the taxpayers are left to finance and clean up, and the ultimate... loss of our sovereignty.

Since 9/11, corporations have made record profits, while the rest of us are incrementally sinking in that pot of boiling water—like the frog. Who will speak up for the voices that are being drowned out and/or dealt with accordingly by the "authority" (by being put on "lists," dismissed, portrayed as “conspiracy theorists,” and such)? There is a lot of evidence that is being withheld from the public that affects the citizens deeply. Will your party step up and represent the people? Will your party put the SPP (Security and Prosperity Partnership) on the election platform? Will you ask for an investigation into the Canadian deaths on 9/11 and bring the troops home NOW?

These are extremely critical issues for all Canadian citizens, as well as the citizens of the planet and they should be election issues, right along with the other issues being presented, when our “elected officials” are not busy throwing dirt in each others’ faces.

I am waiting for your reply
