William Rodriguez will be speaking at the Lakeview Museum in the basement auditorium at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 22, in Peoria, Illinois.

Mr. Rodriguez worked in the WTC buildings as a janitor, and he is a credible witness to the secondary and underground explosions reported in the Twin Towers before their collapses.

I will be filming this lecture.

Today, a William Rodriguez-related news story was released - New Victim's Family Supports Search For 9/11 Truth - which I hope will convince you that this movement does not disrespect the families of the victims, and that in many instances, it is the Families Groups that have been the strongest advocates for a full investigation on the issues.

The 9/11 Commission report is full of contradictions, omissions, and distortions of the reality of the events surrounding 9/11.

I hope to see many of you in this area attend this lecture, even if you are pessimistic of the premise - come with questions.

On October 14th, 2006, Monica Gabrielle, Lorie Van Auken, Mindy Kleinberg, and Patty Casazza started a petition that calls for, "the immediate declassification and release of all transcripts and documents relating to the July 10, 2001 meeting that took place between former CIA Director George Tenet and then National Security Advisor, Condoleezza Rice" as well as "the declassification and release of both the redacted 28 pages of the Joint Inquiry Into The Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001 (JICI) and the CIA Inspector General’s report, "CIA Accountability With Respect To The 9/11 Attacks".

As of right now, there are 10,012 signatures. I find it hard to believe that there aren't 15,000 people in this country that don't want these documents released.

A little under 2 and a half years ago, members of the 9/11 Truth Movement held what were called "The 9/11 Omission Hearings" in New York City. At the time, I could not attend those, but I did attend the "9/11 People's Commission" in Washington D.C. I remember the impatience I felt waiting for some kind of media from the NYC Hearings. Originally, 4 recordings were released that went through the highlights only. When they were released, I pulled up my chair, and intently listened to every single word. That is the first time I heard Bob McIlvaine. When he started to cry, I burst into tears, and remember that moment like it was yesterday. I remember feeling so angry that this man had to feel this way. I couldn't find those recordings, but the audio of Mr. McIlvaine is available here.

In March of last year, I had the pleasure of having dinner with Mr. McIlvaine. The purpose of the dinner was to convince a friend of Rep. Weldon's that he needed to meet with us. As it turns out, it worked. Mr. McIlvaine also gave me the honor of interviewing him. One of the things I admire about him is the fact that he is so incredibly honest when he speaks.

Recently, at the 9/11 Accountability Conference, I got to spend some quality time with Mr. McIlvaine. If I remember correctly, I even got the chance to buy him breakfast. If you haven't watched it yet, I suggest you watch the Welcome and Mission Statement from Arizona.

Bobby McIlvaine was an amazing individual. I was reading through his bio the other day, and I couldn't believe his achievements. He graduated from Princeton University, and managed to get a job at Merrill Lynch as "Assistant Vice President For Media Relations." He was also engaged to be married for a 2002 wedding. My sincerest condolences Jennifer.

Because of Mr. McIlvaine's honesty, I wanted the chance to question him about a few things. Being the kind individual that he is, he has granted me that opportunity. Here is the result.

1. Very often, members of the 9/11 Truth Movement hear, "You're being disrespectful to, or dishonoring the family members". In your eyes, how true is that statement?

Asking questions does not dishonor or disrespect 9/11 family members. Asking questions does make family members irritable and anxious, primarily because they have ignored available 9/11 info. The truth must be heard, regardless who it hurts.

Note: The four comments at end of the following article are interesting:

9/11 Families Demand GOP Stop Blocking Commission Recommendations

Painfully aware of the avalanche of irrelevant amendments that Republicans have put forth in an attempt to stall or derail the 9/11 Commission recommendations from getting a Senate vote, families of those who died on September 11 have sent a harshly-worded letter to Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), demanding that the GOP put national security before politics.

"The official US Commission investigation into 9/11 has been widely discredited. The Commission's Executive Director Philip D. Zelikow was a Bush White House insider who had the power to direct investigations away from certain topics. Much of the evidence presented was heard in secret by Mr Zelikow and not passed on to the other Commissioners. The 9/11 Victim's Families have called for a new independent and international investigation."

While looking into the “Burlingame’s Daughter” matter, I noticed this article.

It appears to introduce two new pieces of information:

“Her father, Charles Burlingame III, was the pilot of American Airlines 77 when terrorists took control of the plane and then crashed it into the Pentagon. An examination of his remains showed the 51-year-old former U.S. Navy captain struggled with the terrorists and was killed before the crash, according to published reports.”

[What examination of what remains?]

“Wendy Burlingame was photographed during the burial ceremony hugging her son as they looked at her father's flag-draped casket”

[What son?]

"What's that? You have protested before at 9/11 Truth rallies, and spoken at 9/11 Truth commissions, and endorsed organizations seeking 9/11 Truth? No restricted aviation information for you. You're a bunch of Conspiracy Theorists." - Jon :)

By Chris Strohm, National Journal's Technology Daily
11/1/2006

The Transportation Security Administration announced Wednesday that it intends to do background checks on plaintiffs who have filed suit in federal court to determine if they can have access to restricted aviation information.

The move is expected to help family members of victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and their lawyers move forward in litigation against U.S. airlines, airports and security contractors.

In a Federal Register notice, TSA said it intends to do criminal background checks and security-threat assessments on plaintiffs or their lawyers to determine if they can have access to sensitive security information, which is a designation the agency uses to prevent the release of information that could pose a threat to transportation security.

Here is the reproduction of the "Public's Right To Know - Declassification and Release of Documents" petition created by and written by Patty Casazza, Monica Gabrielle, Mindy Kleinberg and Lorie Van Auken:

Sign the Petition

To:  U.S Congress; Press/Media

We, the undersigned, demand the immediate declassification and release of all transcripts and documents relating to the July 10, 2001 meeting that took place between former CIA Director George Tenet and then National Security Advisor, Condoleezza Rice. It has been alleged that this urgent and out-of-the-ordinary meeting was called to discuss the increasingly dire warnings of an imminent al Qaeda attack within the U.S.

Given that much of the July 10, 2001 meeting has already been made public in Bob Woodward’s newly released book, “State of Denial”, it is unacceptable to continue to keep these documents and transcripts hidden from the American public’s view.

In addition, we again call for the declassification and release of both the redacted 28 pages of the Joint Inquiry Into The Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001 (JICI) and the CIA Inspector General’s report, “CIA Accountability With Respect To The 9/11 Attacks”.

The disastrous nature of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks warrant the release of all of this information so that the American public may learn what its government did or did not do to protect them. Had this nation been properly warned of the looming and imminent terrorist threat, life saving choices could have been made that day.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

If you've been a member of the 9/11 Truth Movement for a long time, you're well aware how difficult this fight has been.

Some have faced ridicule the likes of which have never been seen before.

Some have been set up by the media to be made fools of, and worse.

Some have been kicked out of office in Washington D.C.

Some have lost friends that didn't want to listen.

Some have lost their jobs for speaking their mind.

Some have been harassed by this Government in one form or another.

The point is, this is probably the hardest thing this country has ever faced, and I am forever grateful to those that had the courage to face the truth.

Donna Marsh O'Connor lost her daughter Vanessa Lang Langer on 9/11/2001. She recently appeared at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. on 9/11/2006. The purpose of her appearance was to call for a new investigation into the attacks of 9/11. I thought it would be prudent for people to know a little bit about Mrs. O'Connor, and her story.

1. I understand you taught writing and rhetoric at Syracuse University for 20+ years. What was the average day like in your classroom, and what kinds of topics did you cover? How did you become involved in that track, and why did you retire?

I did not retire, I stepped down. There were very few average days in my classroom. For 20 years, I taught students to describe what they see before their eyes, what the smell, what they touch before they came to the point of judgement. My focus in teaching writing was always to ask students to think of themselves as individual agents in the center of a public text, to think about the way pronouns work to mask their agency (I, We You, etc...) and the way those pronouns obviate questions a writer needs to have in order not to simply replicate ideas in the collective air. In short, I taught my students to be more conscious as American writers and to begin to sort through American discursive polarities and to try to account for more sophisticated nuances and differences. Most of my years in the classroom were life changing for me and (my students often reported) for them, too. I never taught or suggested students believe what I said. I simply helped them to understand in complex ways that writers must come to a deep understaning of "others" before coming to judgements. My courses were difficult, but (I was told) worth it. Increasingly, after 9/11, I saw that my own individual agency as a teacher and a creator of text in the classroom was changing. At the same time, the American public texts were becoming more explosive. Students (not all of them) wanted to back away. The media always feature into my teaching. Now, increasingly, the media was becoming more and more about covering up the key details of issues. I saw that if I stayed I would become less able to postpone judgement myself. Rather than teatching students processes of questioning and understanding, I would have been (perhaps rightly (interesting word!)) accused of putting forward an anti-administration agenda. For me, that meant time to step down.

(more after the jump..)

Alex Jones interviews 9/11 victim's father Bill Doyle who lost his son Joseph Doyle during the September 11th attack...

Original airdate: July 7, 2006

Alex Jones: Founded in September of 2001, the World Trade Center United Family Group is a nonprofit 501c3, and you were its founder and head and you say you represent over 7,000 people. What is the average view of those that you represent about 9/11 and the cover-up?

Bill Doyle: What they want is... If you want to believe the 9/11 Commission's story -- like a lot of us don't, ok? You really gotta go look in the... It almost looks like there was a conspiracy about 9/11 -- if you really look at all the facts. A lot of families now feel the same way.

[...]

Alex Jones: With your 7,000 members, I'm sure you've talked to most if not all of them. What percentage would you say believe 9/11 is an inside job to some extent?

Bill Doyle: Maybe half... Probably 50/50.
