RICE OK'D CLAIM OF 'SAFE AIR'
AFTER 9/11

Press releases got vetted.

September 24, 2006 -- Condoleezza Rice's office gave final approval to the infamous Environmental Protection Agency press releases days after 9/11 claiming the air around Ground Zero was "safe to breathe," internal documents show.
Now Secretary of State, Rice was then head of the National Security Council - "the final decision maker" on EPA statements about lower Manhattan air quality, the documents say.

Scientists and lawmakers have since deemed the air rife with toxins.

Early tests known to the EPA at the time had already found high asbestos levels, the notes say. But those results were omitted from the press releases because of "competing priorities" such as national security and "opening Wall Street," according to a report by the EPA's inspector general.

The chief of staff for then-EPA head Christie Todd Whitman, Eileen McGinnis, told the inspector general of heated discussions, including "screaming telephone calls," about what to put in the press releases.

The notes come from a 2003 probe into public assurances made on Sept. 16, five days after the 9/11 attacks. They tell how a White House staffer "worked with Dr. Condoleezza Rice's press secretary" on reviewing the press releases for weeks.

Whitman said through a spokeswoman Friday that she never discussed her press releases directly with Rice. She also defended her collaboration with the White House.

Now-retired Inspector General Nikki Tinsley told The Post her auditors tried to question the head of President Bush's Environmental Quality Council, but "he would not talk to us."

Calls and e-mails to Rice were not returned.

Rice & Whitman prove women can be just as evil as men...

Common sense dictates the air around WTC after 9/11: filled with asbestos, pulverized computers, monitors, & office machines, acrid fire & smoke, etc., etc., was DEADLY!!!

Go to hell Condi Rice & Christie Todd Whitman!!!

Re: Rice and Whitman can be just as evil as men

Of course, Condi and Christine learned their vicious tactics by none other than the rich, racist, privileged white male, not to mention who Condi and Christine have learned to take their marching orders from .

That woman is such a

That woman is such a scumbag.

Safe to breath

There needs to be a reality check here. Like so many similar decisions this is only possible for those in charge to make when they are not personally threatened. Let them be personally exposed or have their children exposed to the risk and they will sing another tune. Hypocrites? No, worse, murderers.

This line bugs me....

competing priorities...

"Early tests known to the EPA at the time had already found high asbestos levels, the notes say. But those results were omitted from the press releases because of "competing priorities" such as national security and "opening Wall Street," according to a report by the EPA's inspector general.""

Yeah, competing priorites such as the "removal of crime-scene evidence as quickly as fucking possible."

Doesn't this set Condi up for criminal charges?

and whom do you think gave

and whom do you think gave condi approval?

Screen for Sociopathy

Sounds strange but it might be a good idea to make all public officials get screened for sociopathy. Sociopaths have poor track records as public officials.

Google Caught In Terror Storm Censorship
Viewing totals reset despite runaway popularity of Alex Jones video

Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet.com | September 25 2006

Google is again embroiled in a censorship farce after its Google Video sub-division was caught altering viewing statistics for Alex Jones' Terror Storm documentary, resetting runaway growth curbs to prevent the video making the website's top ten and its online viewership exploding exponentially.

Following last week's buzz about Terror Storm being available for viewing free on Google Video, numerous websites linked to our promo page and as a result viewing figures for all versions of Terror Storm at Google Video began to climb rapidly.

However, upon checking the same viewer figures on Sunday, Alex Jones noticed that many had been reset to zero and had only begun to climb into the hundreds and early thousands, nowhere near their previous levels of tens and hundreds of thousands for the previous days. The trends had been artificially reversed and this prevented Terror Storm from entering the top ten list of Google Video which would have ensured an explosion of further circulation of the video.

please contact Google now and let them know we are watching them and we dont appreciate censorship.

Where's The "Conspiracy Smashers" On This Story?

I've realized something...the so called "debunkers" and 9/11 Truth haters would probably be the first to go along with Hitler, and would be ratting out White Rose Society activists to the Gestapo, I guarantee it.

I'd like to see the "debunkers" go up to the 9/11 families dissatisfied with the 9/11 commission, and who think there's a coverup, to call them "deniers" to their face.

So...

Would I.

SMOKING GUN: Whitman's Personal Financial Interest

Documents have revealed that Whitman herself had a personal financial interest in getting businesses in the affected area running ASAP. Jenna Orkin, one of the plaintiffs in the class-action suit against the EPA, writes:

"EPA Senior Policy Analyst Hugh Kaufman revealed today what he called a "smoking gun," documents showing that Administrator Christy Todd Whitman committed a felony when she reassured New Yorkers that their air was safe to breathe following the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

"The internal documents, obtained by Congressman Jerrold Nadler whose district includes Ground Zero, consist of notes written in preparation for the EPA Inspector General's Report of August, 2003. That report showed that at least one EPA press release was edited by the White House Council on Environmental Quality to replace cautionary statements about asbestos with reassurances.

"In the notes, EPA Spokesperson Tina Kreisher is asked whether there was a 'conscious effort' to reassure the public. Ms. Kreisher responded that there was such an effort and that it came both from the Administrator and the White House.

The newly unearthed notes are particularly damning, Kaufman says, because Whitman had a personal financial interest in getting Lower Manhattan up and running again. She owned millions of dollars' worth of bonds from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey which in turn owned the WTC site."

Something new that could break things open

This is another miserable case of just what was important to these Neocon/republican rats...money.
Along with whatever else that gets put out there ,this is another issue that needs to pushed big time. It also has the possibility of breaking the whole government lie wide open, while at the same time exposing just how much the MSM media is complicit with their non-exposure of the whole damn tragic mess.

More Proof...

The media is controlled. This INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT news is being covered by two NY news outlets, and that's it.

You've GOT to be kidding!

Tragically pathetic beyond all description.

Silicate component of concrete

It is likely that the silicates in the powered concrete(pyroclastic clouds) were likely the largest cause of ill health among yhe first responders. Do your research.

Particulates

Indeed, there was a lot more than asbestos fibers in that dust. Heavy metals from the computers and lighting are also highly toxic. Letting unprotected people conduct that cleanup is akin to using humans as lab rats. Shameful.

How much of that stuff infiltrated the surrounding community and is *still* present today? First responders, witnesses and unwitting evidence destruction crews are far from the only victims of this derivative crisis.

I wonder if the officials which paid short visits soon after the attack were exposed to sufficient levels to affect future health?

Is there any way for me to

Is there any way for me to see and read this article without paying for it? It seems the complete article is available right here on this page, but is there any way to view it on the actual nypost webpage, without having to purchase it? Evidently not. That's too bad, because it's definitely a massive smoking gun link that could be emailed around to everyone, without anyone having the chance to dismiss it as some wild-eyed conspiracy theory.

gotta love GOOGLE CACHE
