Update on Citizens 911 Commission Campaign
Senator
Gravel takes the Citizens 9/11 Commission to Europe on a 2-week tour
beginning in Switzerland. Details here: http://9-11cc.org/index.php/2011/10/26/press-release-senator-mike-gravel-takes-the-9-11cc-campaign-to-europe/
Massachusetts Ballot Initiative
Massachusetts
is still collecting signatures, new deadline is November 18th –
possible extension to November 23rd.
The
importance of professional signature gatherers was discussed.
The high likelihood of error in collecting the signatures makes
signature gathering even more difficult for the ‘amateur.’
Using volunteers instead of professional signature gatherers means
more error and less coverage due to the lack of skill and time of
using volunteers.
Citizens
9/11 Campaign has gotten a lot of advice from professional signature
gatherers and has collected 10,000 signatures via volunteer
efforts.
The
reason why the effort in Massachusetts is so important is that once
we get the ballot initiative passed in MA; through the Joint Power
Agreement, other states can join in the effort.
Strategic Plan for the Citizens 9/11 Campaign
Citizens
9/11 Commission sees that ‘truthers’ are coming ‘out of the
woodwork;’ new enthusiasts are looking for outreach and ways of
connecting with one another. There are thousands of splintered
groups around to be recruited in joining the Citizens 9/11 Commission
campaign. C911C sees the need to begin developing a central
data base of what groups are now supporting a 9/11
investigation. Strategic plan up on website; urge all to review
and comment on citizens911commission.com website. The
increasing demand for 9/11 truth has increased seriousness of
organization effort for Citizens 9/11 Commission – capitalizing on
the increasing interest for an investigation of 9/11 means a well
researched plan will put C911C on a path towards victory if we can
get the support
Report on using the cable access TV option to promote
9/11 truth
Ken
Jenkins has done a score of 9/11 truth’s film-making and gave a brief
primer on this useful topic. Ken requests that all those interested
brief themselves by visiting the following web pages:
http://ae911truth.org/take-action/527-cable-access-team.html
http://www.septembereleventh.org/alerts/publicaccess.php
It was
emphasized how effective using public access cable is in order to
spread information. Every state and every location have
different rules and specifications. There is an Internet site
called Peg Media that makes downloading files very useful and
accessible (http://pegmedia.org/).
The
randomness of being able to find public access programming schedules
is clearly a downside with this medium. Getting the schedule
out is the biggest issue. Social media works for us here
(Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn etc.) as each person getting the
schedule has an opportunity of passing information to their social
media networks. Once 9/11 truth information is on the cable
stations, it’s important to follow up with the cable access stations
and pin down dates and times. You typically have 2 or 3 days
notice when the program will air. Creating a Facebook event can
also be shared on Twitter. You can put it out there as nothing
to do with 911; the word can get out without a major publicity campaign.
Pentagon Hearing 11/11/11
No
updates right now. Early planning for this event hit too close
to 10th anniversary and organizers were unable to get sponsors and
speakers in time. There are plans to hold hearing in DC in the
spring.
Toronto Hearings
Honegger Report
Barbara
Honegger’s presentation at the Toronto Hearings called, “Eyewitnesses
and Evidence of Explosions” was well received. Although Barbara
was only given a little over a half an hour to present this
information, that ½ hour was packed with diverse evidence concluding
that the official story has very little to do with evidence or
reality. A must see for every supporter of a new 9/11
investigation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2YrUq2Y_C4
is a video capture of the Honegger presentation with back up material
used in the presentation visible.
Honegger
was specifically asked not to address the controversy regarding a
plane hitting the Pentagon before the conference; but had opportunity
to share her opinion at the end of her presentation. Barbara
stated that there is no evidence that a Boeing 757 or any other
passenger plane hit the Pentagon. Much of the Honegger
presentation had to do with the evidence regarding inside explosives
that took place at least 6 minutes before the official time given
regarding plane impact at the Pentagon.
Many,
including Barbara Honegger and David Ray Griffin, have suggested that
the Toronto Hearings may go down as the historical beginning of a
serious international effort to bring light and pressure upon the
United States to support a criminal investigation with under oath and
subpoena powers. Many prominent attendees of the hearing,
notably Ferdinando Imposimato, the honorary President of the Supreme
Court of Italy (very knowledgeable on 911) said words to the effect
that there needs to be an official hearing with under oath testimony
and subpoena power in the US. If there is not, there is a
glaring need to bring this issue to the international criminal
court. He explained that the US does not have to be a signatory
nation, which we are not, in order for that to work.
Zarembka Report
Paul
Zarembka stated in his report that he did find the Toronto Hearings
to be rewarding, although not as enthusiastic as Barbara. He
said that there should have been some opportunity for experts other
than those chosen, to be able to offer to the Panel other
information.
Paul
Zarembka’s Toronto Hearing presentation on Insider Trading was also
well received and can be viewed here: http://ithp.org/articles/septemberinsidertrading.html
More Discussion on Toronto Hearing
Discussion
ensued regarding the organization of the Toronto Hearings,
specifically the lack of a ‘democratic’ procedure in establishing the
steering committee and choosing attendees. The exclusion of
Pentagon evidence and the decisions and appointments to the Steering
Committee were all questioned and discussed. Barry Zwicker
organized a separate event at the Royal Cinema during the same time
as the Toronto Hearing. This presentation gave opportunity for
those interested to look at other evidence not included in the
Toronto Hearing.
Consensus Panel
The
concept of Consensus on 9/11 used in a Consensus Panel (at www.consensus911.org/the-911-consensus-points),
was discussed. David Ray Griffin and Elizabeth Woodworth
decided after a Press Release, to introduce Consensus on 9/11 concept
at the Toronto Hearings.
Some
points of contention included:
Is
developing a consensus helpful? Is there a consensus that we
need a consensus?
David Ray
Griffin’s consensus concept uses the ‘Delphi Method’ used in military
environments, and made known by the Rand Corporation.
Reservations were shared regarding using this message - is there a
potential for manipulation?
The lack
of democratic input was a major complaint regarding this
method. Not knowing one another and lack of discussion amongst
participants was another reservation. Appointment of Consensus
Panel should be ‘democratic’ and transparent as should be the
appointment of courts, commissions and personnel. Transparency
is key to what evidence and what information is shared.
Participants
in the consensus panel doubted an actual whole body consensus unless
a thorough, transparent discussion with all participants takes
place. The consensus panel proceeding is in the early
development stages and will be improved but so far, blindness of the
panel, many speculated may compromise the value of the consensus
coming out of this method. In a small group, an 85% agreement
would mean it would only take 2 or 3 people to dismiss important
information.
Engaging the US military in the 9/11 Truth Seeking
Community
Finding
truth seekers within our military will be crucial in recovering and
uncovering evidence that has up until now been buried under the worn
out “top secret” classification. Experiences in cooperative
street actions with military officers and personnel who are speaking
out against the wars are indeed assets in our fight for the truth.”
