Clarifications Regarding DownsizeDC.org

As most of you know, DownsizeDC.org has launched a campaign based on the documentary, "9/11: Press For Truth" followed by a statement regarding their position on 9/11 Truth.

I was inclined to write them. Mr. Wilson gave me the permission to post this. 911Truth.org also has a good write-up about this.

To whom it may concern,

First and foremost, I want to thank you for your efforts regarding 9/11, and for basing your efforts on the documentary, "9/11: Press For Truth." It is a documentary I am very proud of, and am thrilled to have been a part of it. I wanted to address an email I received from you today concerning your position on 9/11 Truth. I only want to address the following paragraph:

"It makes zero sense that the Bush administration would have been capable of such a massive crime, but incapable, a few months later, of planting WMD's in Iraq. On this basis alone, most of the 9-11 conspiracy theories are non-starters."

The following is a speech I gave at the recent 9/11 Accountability conference in Chandler, Arizona.

That speech is available here with all sources:

In regards to your comment about WMD, have you ever read this piece from Larisa Alexandrovna?

http://rawstory.com/news/2005/Secretive_military_unit_sought_to_solve_0105.html

Larisa was a story consultant for 9/11: Press For Truth.

I have been doing this for 5 years. I think it's safe to say that I have probably read more than you on the subject. All I can say is, I don't know what happened on 9/11, but because of the fact this administration wanted to go to war, and because of all of the lies we were told about 9/11, and believe me, there are a great deal more than what is presented in the 84 minutes of 9/11: Press For Truth, and because of the obstruction of justice, and because they have used 9/11 to get their war, they have become suspects in the crime of 9/11. I have little doubt that if a real investigation were to take place, those sitting in the White House would be found guilty for, at the very least, criminal negligence, and at the most, pre-meditated manslaughter.

Please, don't downplay the possibility.

Again, thank you for your efforts.

Sincerest Regards,

Jon Gold

Their response...

Mr. Gold,

Thanks for writing, and for your encouraging words. Our position is that Congress must launch a fresh, independent investigation. The investigation would be more effective if it begins with the presumption is that 9-11 was NOT an inside job, that the Administration is "innocent until proven guilty." Then, the investigators can follow where the evidence leads. But our organization is not in a position to turn speculations into accusations. We want members of Congress to open their minds and ask the right questions; if we tell Congress we believe we already know the answers, members of Congress will mis-judge our intentions and ignore us.

Our agenda is to downsize the federal government. If the investigation finds that the Administration was incompetent, that advances our case and cause for smaller government. If the investigation concludes that the Administration was guilty of something far worse than incompetence, that underscores the need for smaller government all the more.

Sincerely,

James Wilson
Assistant to the President

I got the same cookie-cutter response from Mr. Wilson

I wrote back in length with twice as many links for Mr. Wilson to read when I first read the Downsize DC position paper on 9/11. He replied with the exact same response. I have already wrote him back and am awaitng a further response. After reading the letter that was posted in the blog section earlier on this Web site about how Downsize DC feels about 'conspiracies', I do not have high hopes for the success of this organization. Here's an excerpt from the second email response I sent:

"The Laws of Physics do not lie. Anyone who objectivly watches the video of WTC 7 coming down shockingly into its own footprint knows that the structural failure displays all the hallmarks of a controlled demolition.

Add that to the hundreds of cases of eyewitness testimony, the hunderds of audio recordings, the dozens of vidos, the untold amounts of photographs, on top of the fact that no heavily reinforced steel skyscraper has ever collapsed due to fire in the history of the world, and you all of a sudden are well out of the realm of accusation and well into the realm of gathering a number of observed facts which lead to a very different story than we have heard."

Now is the time to act on what we all witnessed with our own eyes six short years ago. Pressing on ...
