Something I think we should support. No, I did not remember that Archie mentioned "skyjackers." Just that he got "equal time." It's just a coincidence. - Jon

Congresswoman Anna Eshoo (pictured), D-Palo Alto, said Monday she will work to restore the Fairness Doctrine and have it apply to cable and satellite programming as well as radio and TV.

“I’ll work on bringing it back. I still believe in it,” Eshoo told the Daily Post in Palo Alto.

Despite Common Dreams' David Lindorff having previously dismissed "conspiracy theories," in his latest Mumbai article over at democrats.com, he concludes saying, " And let us hope that Americans finally demand an honest accounting of what happened on 9/11/2001 and that those who are guilty of allowing it to happen ... are exposed and forced to pay for their ineptness and their crimes."

We don't need to convince everyone that 9-11 was an inside job in order to create a groundswell of public support for a new 9-11 investigation. So Lindorff, for all his previous arrogant claims about nutty conspiracy theories, can prove to be an important ally. It's a question of deciding our foremost objective.

Tuesday, October 28, 2008, a press conference was held in front of the incumbent, Anna Eshoo's office, the new TV AD was shown to the only journalist, Don Kazak, who came to the pretty last minute event. I have known Don Kazak for years, he has written a few stories about my activism before. Here is what he wrote:

Palo Altan Carol Brouillet, who is the Green Party candidate running against Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, will get her message on TV with a 30-second ad scheduled to start running Wednesday.

Brouillet said the ads will run more than 200 times in the 14th Congressional District at or near prime time on cable channels CNN, Fox and CNBC. Because the ads are just running in the district, "they aren't that expensive," she said.

This ad will be shown on CNN News and on other cable channels in California's 14th District where Carol Brouillet is the Green Party Candidate for Congress.

Text of ad:

On 9/11, three skyscrapers were felled by two planes, World Trade
Center 7, the Patriot Act, the financial crash, the bailout, all
share characteristics of controlled demolitions, criminal fraud, and
treason. We the people, need the courage to seek and speak the truth. We
need to investigate the big lies. We need to arrest, impeach the
terrorists. We need to defend our Constitution, our rights, our
lives. I am Carol Brouillet, Green Party Candidate for Congress and I
approve this message. Vote Green for truth, peace and justice.

In Chicago, the Republican Congressional candidate has attacked the Democrat for a campaign ad featuring an Iraq War vet who supports the 9/11 victims families right to answers, and says the Iraq War was based on lies, including Hussein's connection to 9/11. According to the Chicago Tribune, "He also said he does not doubt that Al Qaeda terrorists were responsible for the 9/11 attacks.". "Last June, the Peoria Journal Star reported that Davis wore a black T-shirt proclaiming "Investigate 9/ 11@911truth.org" while sitting at a table at a Peoria library where books, fliers and DVDs supporting conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks were on display." "Seals spokeswoman Elisabeth Smith said she didn't "really see what is so controversial" about using Caleb Davis in the ad. Davis, 25, is a Peoria native who spent five months in Iraq as an Army diver and got an honorable discharge in 2004." The reporter and Tribune present the Republican view and also the Democrat side, which apparently supports the OCT as well as the right to freedom of speech, press and to petition the govt.

With the election coming up soon, I must admit that "my campaign" is off to a very slow start, in no small part because of health concerns. I finally consented to get a biopsy during the Green Party Convention and at the end of July received the happy results that the "cysts throughout my pancreas were benign."

August, I focused my energy on our annual 9/11 Truth Rally/March/Film Festival/weekly radio show and only in September was I able to write speeches, speak at political events. An enthusiastic supporter is revamping my old campaign website. My opponent has admitted her ignorance on economic issues and rushes to bailout the bankers. Prior to 9/11, my main issue was monetary reform, promoting local currencies, challenging corporate globalization.

Hypothesis: I've been wondering if nationalizing media agencies would open free speech & information

Premise: currently, the media appears to be corporatized (profit controlling the individual) rather than nationalized (public monitoring the public ~4th estate) and vital issues ignored or distorted

Argument: if each citizen supervised (not own) a quota in news agencies, would that encourage competition, form a sort of 'checks & balance' system ["information of, for & by the people"] and adjust the 'bottom' line' of commercial media trusts?

Points:
1) information seems to serve a different function than property in a free market
2) it seems there's a difference between socializing, corporatizing and nationalizing something; the state or company taking from individuals vs. the public monitored by the public

Case: it seems that the founding fathers trusted that the most enlightened agent in the public is the citizen; an ideal complement to correctly restraining the power of government.

This article presents an overview of some of the many people, media and organizations that have documented and publicized contradictions and lies about 9/11, and contributed to the growing awareness of the falsity of the official 9/11 story. The decentralized and spontaneously growing collective of people demanding truth and justice has become known as the 9/11 Truth Movement.
