For the first time ever, a public body has charged individuals with capital crimes in regard to the events of September 11, 2001 in New York City.

The San Diego Citizens' Grand Jury, made up of twenty-three residents of southern California, deemed sixteen individuals as deserving further investigation for the charge of 'Conspiracy to Commit Mass Murder'.

Two were charged per Chief Prosecutor Don Paul's request for Indictment:
Rudolph Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, and Jerome Hauer, a former Kroll, Inc. executive and the former Director of New York City's Office of Emergency Management.

Fourteen more were charged through the Grand Jury's use of Presentment (a Presentment 'is an accusation issued by a Grand Jury on its own knowledge, without any bill of indictment having been previously drawn up by the prosecutor'--Columbia University Press Encyclopedia):
Thomas Pickard, Michael Cherkasky, George W. Bush, Larry Silverstein, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Marvin Bush, Wirt Walker III, richard Myers, Ralph Eberhart, L. Paul Bremer, Peter G. Peterson, David Rockefeller and Maurice Greenberg.

The home-page of 911research.wtc7.net now links to three pages that provide a summary of the results along with biographical summaries and multiple urls for articles about the suspected individuals--as well as a PDF of a Wanted Poster.
The three pages can be found at

Much thanks to this Grand Jury for their courage and acuity--to the many in San Diego's 9/11 Truth group who organized the event, its convenor Michael Copass in particular--and to Chief Investigator Jim Hoffman and to Expert Witnesses Richard Gage, Steven Jones, Ted Muga and Kevin Ryan. Thanks also to Michelle Little for insisted on justice for her brother, David Weiss, a New York City firefighter killed on 9/11/01.

The brave steps taken by the San Diego Citizens Grand Jury advance us all toward achieving justice and preventing the next 9/11.

The Grand Jury is continuing deliberations on the exact content of its Findings on other, lesser Charges.

(Don Paul is the author of " '9/11' " / Facing Our Fascist State (2002) and To Prevent the Next " '9/11' " (2005) and the co-author with Jim Hoffman of " '9/11' " / Great Crimes, a Greater Cover-Up (2003) and Waking Up from Our Nightmare (2004). In 2006 Celestine Star, Jim Hoffman and he produced the dvd 9/11 Guilt / The Proof Is in Your Hands.)

Friends and Associates,

You may have received a message and attached letter entitled: "Correction of Inaccurate and Unauthorized Announcements Made By Mr. Don Paul", or other communication propagating allegations made in that letter concerning the San Diego Citizens Grand Jury that met on April 14, 2007.

This response, consisting of this message and two forwarded ones, is long and somewhat detailed, and is intended as a one-time response to the "Correction of .." letter.

As a presenter to the Grand Jury who witnessed the entirety of the deliberations and votes of the Grand Jury that day, I find the essentially anonymous letter (signed by the "9/11 Grand Jury Resources") highly misleading. Therefore I am forwarding to you a message by Don describing the process by which the indictments and presentments were arrived at, following a message from by Victoria Ashley, also present at the event.

I know Don's representation of events to be truthful and accurate, both in his message below, and in the document entitled: "Historic Result From San Diego Citizens' Grand Jury On The Crimes Of September 11, 2001 In New York City" ( See: http://wtc7.net/events/sdgj07/index.html )

Before briefly examining the premise of the "Correction of .." letter, I would just like to emphasize that I find its tone and insinuations bizarre, given the exemplary process I observed on April 14. It was one of the best events I've ever been involved in, and I was very impressed with the acumen, professionalism, and dedication of the jurors, nearly all of whom were willing to stay late into the evening in order to complete deliberations and votes.

The letter accusing Don of "Inaccurate and Unauthorized Announcements" complains that Don made announcements that:

"falsely associate us with opinions you independently hold."

But Don's reportage in "Historic Result From San Diego Citizens' Grand Jury" does not describe opinions of any Jurors, only the results of their votes. The entire basis of the letter seems to be its claim that:

"our work as a group had barely begun, and we had not come to any conclusions."

This is news to me, if the "we" is referring to jurors empanneled at the event. During deliberations, they expressed no reservations that I can recall about the finality of the decisions reached on the evening of April 14.

The letter also alleges that there were procedural flaws, such as Don being in the room during deliberations. That's a curious charge, because when I sat on a Grand Jury, the district attorneys remained in the room during our deliberations.

It is not clear to me what the group calling itself "9/11 Grand Jury Resources" has to do with the San Diego Citizens' Grand Jury that convened on April 14, other than some overlap in membership, and an attempt to lay claim to the original group's name.

I felt that the process I witnessed on April 14 was historic and successful effort to connect evidence of the crimes of 9/11 with persons deserving investigation for those crimes. Given its success, I would be surprised if there were not some serious efforts to undermine it.

Sincerely,

Jim Hoffman

We felt a follow-up communication was in order after an anonymous email was apparently sent out to this list of people with false accusations against Don Paul. Many of us have known Don for years and know him to be a sincere and hard-working activist who recently moved to New Orleans to help in the situation down there. And in general, the way to resolve conflicts in our movement should not be via attempts at public shaming from behind the anonymity of a gmail account, pulling in leaders who are busy with outreach, research and events of their own. I am primarily writing just to flesh out a few points in my own words and offer examples of the misrepresentations I noticed.

It was actually a great event. Jim, Richard Gage and myself all participated for the entire duration of the Grand Jury and saw no major disagreements at the time of the findings. The event was really one of the best I've ever attended and I was very impressed -- so many jurors, over 20, and all extremely interested, focused, and patient with the many hours of both presentations and deliberations. There was also a good-sized audience which packed the room.

During the deliberations of the jury in a private room following the public event, the indictments were discussed and debated, and ultimately a roomful of hands went up on each decision, over and over. There were no participants who stormed out in disagreement, or made any suggestion that they could no longer be a part of the event due to a disagreement, or any such actions. I was amazed that everyone was willing to work for so long, something like a 10 hour day.

Unfortunately, many claims are made in the email sent out do not seem to have a basis in the events I witnessed, such as this one -

"when our opportunity to deliberate was cancelled, we conscientiously attempted to work together after April 14 anyway, via the internet, in order to carry out our promises."

The group was given a choice in which they could conduct deliberations following the presentations, or reconvene the next day. They chose to continue that evening in order to conclude the event. Had they not wished to deliberate at that time, there would have been no reason to continue and move to another room. In the deliberations room, I saw no person saying anything like "just remember everyone, these votes aren't the real votes," or "these are just straw polls and we'll all meet tomorrow at 'x' time and 'x' place to start the actual deliberations."

"As you knew when you made those announcements, our work as a group had barely begun, was not complete, and we had not come to any conclusions."

This is simply untrue. Votes were made in good faith. I heard of no process whereby "final votes" were going to be taken elsewhere or at another time and saw no large number in the group agreeing to such a decision.

Another statement the email makes -

"The meeting for step two, the jury's private deliberations, that had been announced and scheduled for Sunday April 15, 2007, was cancelled at the request and encouragement of Don Paul, the Prosecutor."

Don did not spearhead the cancellation of the next day's event, that I am aware of, and clearly offered an option of the deliberations continuing the next day as one of the options available to everyone. The jury made the decision themselves to continue then and there, and Don did nothing like telling them they had no options. There were issues of the venue being available, of all of the participants being available, etc. -- not something Don could singularly control or decide! So this is another false assertion.

What Don has done is make an extremely powerful statement via an important event that represents a direct public threat to power. I've personally seen Don spending his time emailing with people in the SDGJ group to help negotiate the minor differences that have been described that some asked for. But I was also there for the entire day during the event and through the deliberations and can say that the facts have been misrepresented to you via this email that was sent out.

I expect that most of those involved in this are primarily being driven by emotional responses to small issues that they are blowing up into large unsubstantiated claims. I don't find this surprising, given the stakes, the topic, the length of the event, the personal hopes, work, etc. But claiming that a Grand Jury group - a subset of the original group - is ongoing in their decision-making, admittedly losing members along the way, yet somehow representative of all the missing members, is an easy way to get different results inserted into an outcome, should that be desired.

Lastly, I think statements like the ones in the final paragraphs of the email document, are veiled threats that have no place in a movement dedicated to exposing truth (my bold) -

"Before you refuse, please consider the damage your unfounded announcements have done, and could further do, to your credibility as a person of any integrity or honor- with us, and possibly, subsequently, with the public at large . Please consider the possible consequences of provoking us, by misrepresenting us without any retraction or apology, to publicly report how you've misrepresented us."

Threats like these from an anonymous group are not anything I think that our movement should reward, support or even acknowledge. None of us are perfect and we all have disagreements, sure. But generally, disagreements between reasonable people never amount to anything like this type of language. I believe that sincere efforts based in real concerns for truths, for the well-being of others, and the work of the movement - even where emotions run high - never involve what amounts to shaming, bullying and personal threats. Those arise from something else, and I don't think we need more of that in our work.

Sorry for the length of this email -- we all have better things to do with our time! But to me, Don just doesn't deserve this, so I wanted to have my say.

Best,
Vic

Subject: Re: Correction of Inaccurate and Unauthorized Announcements
Made By Mr. Don Paul

Dear fellow advocates for truth and justice in regard to the crimes of September 11, 2001,

Yesterday I received an e-mail that said it spoke on behalf of nine members of the San Diego Citizens' Grand Jury for which I served as Chief Prosecutor and Jim Hoffman served as Chief Investigator and Richard Gage Ted Muga served as in-person Expert Witnesses on April 14, 2007. Twenty-three people from southern California served as primary Jurors on that day and several more were present as alternate Jurors.

The e-mail of yesterday went also to a wide range of persons involved with research into the crimes of September 11, 2001, It claimed to respond to an 'inaccurate and unauthorized' posting that I'd sent to 911blogger and other recipients on May 15, 2007 about an 'Historic Result from San Diego Citizens' Grand Jury on the Crimes of September 11, 2001 in New York City '. Said 'Historic Result' was the Grand Jury's vote that called for further investigation of sixteen individuals on the Charge of 'Conspiracy to Commit Mass Murder'. Now I must try to state realities that pertain to the above concern as simply and comprehensively as possible.

First, everything that was stated in my May 15, 2007 posting is true and fact. All assertions in it can be corroborated by audio or video tape or by notes.

All decisions reached by the San Diego Citizens' Grand Jury on April 14, 2007-- decisions as to procedure and schedule as well as whom should be charged with what--came through vote by a majority of the Grand Jury on that day and evening. The schedule which specified that Jurors' deliberations and conclusions were to occur between 8:00--9:30 p.m. on April 14, 2007 was copied by Professor Jesus Nieto in a run of 45 copies and handed out to Jurors and audience at the mid-day beginning of our event.

The decision to hold to this schedule, rather than re-convene the following day, was reached by Jurors' majority-vote around 8:00 that evening.

The introduction of the "stronger" Charge of 'Conspiracy to Commit Mass Murder' came from the stated desires at least two Jurors, including their foreperson, during the the final two hours of our event.

The decision to include the Chief Prosecutor and Chief Investigator in Jurors' final deliberations that evening was made by the Grand Jury The final decision to call for further investigation of sixteen individuals on the Charge of 'Conspiracy to Commit Mass Murder'---two of them through the means of Indictment introduced by me as Chief Prosecutor, fourteen of them through the means of Presentment introduced by the Grand Jury (a Presentment, acccording to the Columbia University Press Encyclopedia, is 'an accusation issued by the grand jury on its own knowledge, without any bill of indictment having been previously drawn up by the prosecutor')--came through majority-vote by the Grand Jury. In regard to all of these sixteen individuals the Jurors' votes were unanimous or near-unanimous.

Such are the facts.

The 'Historic Result' of the San Diego Citizen Grand Jury's conclusions of April 14, 2007 runs, however, to a breadth and depth beyond the above citation of facts.The 'Historic Result' took a step that produced smiles of elation and liberation among the great majority of Jurors at the end of our session. It let us name suspects we'd come to identify through more than five hours of evidentiary presentation. It let us expose obvious criminality and pursue justice for victims after Governments and mass-media have failed to expose obvious criminality and pursue justice over more than five-and-one-half years. It created a precedent to communities around the world to undertake their own Grand Juries and improve on our investigations. It was a step whose courage and perspicacity ennobled those who took it.

Such was larger content of the 'Historic Result' that I wanted to publicize through posting of facts about the Charge of 'Conspiracy to Commit Mass Murder'. I also felt--and feel--that the posting of this 'Result' from the SDCGJ may deter the next act of false-flag terror in the United States.

Please check out the following urls.

Each contains a precursor that the next " '9/11' " remains imminent. One relates how, as of May 9, 2007, the U. S. President will now become effectual dictator in the event of 'Catastrophic Emergency' , through the 'NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE/NSPD 51 and HOMELAND SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE/HSPD-20 .

This piece links to a San Francisco Chronicle article of May 11, 2009 that reports on a 'Day After' conference in Washington, DC put together for the U. S. Government by Harvard and Stanford. The lead Harvard organizer for the Day After' was Ashton Carter, co-author with former "911 Commission" director Phillip Zelikow and former CIA Director John Deutch of the 1998 article in the Council on Foreign Relations' Foreign Affairs publication, 'Catrastrophic Terrorism: Tackling the New Danger' . Phillip Zelikow was one of those charged through Presentment by the San Diego Citizens' Grand Jury for 'Obstruction of Justice'.

Let me conclude by saying that we, the people of the U. S. and the world, will prevent more acts of false-flag ONLY through acts of courage by ourselves, independent of the U. S. Government and mass-media, as arose with the San Diego Citizens' Grand Jury on April 14, 2007.

URLS to information that may lead others to do their own investigations will follow each BIOGRAPHICAL SUMMARY. Finally, I've also attached a Media-Release that should have accompanied the May 15, 2007 posting.)
