Respected Leaders and Families Launch 911 Truth Statement Demanding Deeper Investigation into the Events of 9/11

NEW YORK CITY, NY (Oct. 26, 2004) - An alliance of 100 prominent Americans and 40 family members of those killed on 9/11 today announced the release of the 911 Truth Statement, a call for immediate inquiry into evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur. The Statement supports an August 31st Zogby poll that found nearly 50% of New Yorkers believe the government had foreknowledge and "consciously failed to act," with 66% wanting a new 9/11 investigation.

Focusing on twelve questions, the Statement highlights areas of incriminating evidence that were either inadequately explored or ignored by the Kean Commission, ranging from insider trading and hijacker funding to foreign government forewarnings and inactive defenses around the Pentagon.
The Statement asks for four actions: an immediate investigation by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, Congressional hearings, media analysis, and the formation of a truly independent citizens-based inquiry.

The Statement's list of signatories includes notables spanning the political spectrum, from Presidential candidates Ralph Nader, Michael Badnarik, and David Cobb to Catherine Austin Fitts, a member of the first Bush administration, as well as Washington veterans like Pentagon whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg and retired CIA analyst Ray McGovern. Other signers range from peace activists like Code Pink president Jodie Evans and Global Exchange's Kevin Danaher to retired lieutenant colonel Dr. Robert Bowman; from environmentalists like Randy Hayes and John Robbins to business leaders such as Paul Hawken and Karl Schwartz, CEO of Patmos Nanotechnologies; from populist journalist Ronnie Dugger to renowned investigative reporter Kelly Patricia O’Meara. The statement includes 43 noted authors, including New York Times #1 bestseller John Gray, as well as 18 eminent professors, historians, and theologians. Other notables include five-term Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, singers Michelle Shocked and Michael Franti, and actors Ed Asner and Mimi Kennedy.

The Statement was facilitated by 911truth.org, a leading coalition. The organization has also announced a press conference outside of Eliot Spitzer's Manhattan office (corner of Cedar and Nassau) at 2:00PM on Thursday, Oct. 28th where 9/11 family members and victim group representatives will file a formal complaint demanding the first criminal investigation of 9/11 events by the New York Attorney General.

5. Did George Bush conspire with the Saudi Royal family?

Did Christian Fundamentalist George Bush conspire with the Saudi Royal family (the Bin Ladens) to attack the US on 911?

Consider this:

1. Everyone knows that when bombings happen in other countries of the world politicians gain power. They gain that power by declaring war on the supposed terrorists or rebels.

2. Bush sat in a class room safely in Florida (convenient time to be out of Washington) for approx 7 minutes after being informed that the US was under attack. Was he allowing the attackers time to finish their agreed upon attack? The expression on George Bush’s face was not one of concern it was more one of 'Here we go as planned, I will be glad when this is over.'

3. The mysterious 911 anthrax mailer was never identified and arrested. The FBI intentionally misdirected public attention to a man by the name of Steven Hatfill calling him a "person of interest". Hatfill apparently had nothing to do with the anthrax letters but that didn’t keep the FBI from slandering him on a nearly daily basis to make it look like they had their man. He is now suing the US government and will probably win.

4. The price of oil has raised significantly since the US entered Iraq. Would it not be in the best Interests of the Saudis (Bin Laden family) to get rid of Saddam Hussein if he was keeping the price of oil too low for their liking by continuing to sell oil through the backdoor while he was under UN sanctions. There is a finite amount of oil in Saudi Arabian oil fields, it will eventually run out. So they would sure want to make as much as they can from it before that happens.

5. Christian Fundamentalist Bush and his Christian Fundamentalist administration would like to have the US be officially declared a Christian country run on purely biblical principals, outlawing anything that does not agree with the Bible. This is required by their faith as to prepare the world for God. By orchestrating the 911 attacks with the Saudis he could justify clamping down on the civil rights of US citizens, which would be required by the new Christian Fundamentalist state. The old Constitution would be obsolete in the new Christian country of the US.

6. Immediately after the attacks Bush grounded all domestic air traffic but helped co-ordinate the speedy exit of the Bin Laden family via jet aircraft while the rest of our country’s aircraft were still grounded and our citizens in shock. Why would he do this if he was not already aware of who was responsible and that there was value to them remaining in the US? If they were not guilty or of some value why the urgent need to get them out of the country while our entire nation’s aircraft were still grounded?

7. The vast majority of 911 hijackers (15 of the 19) were Saudis.

8. What are the odds that the worlds most successful terrorist would happen to be named Bin Laden?

9. What are the odds a terrorist such as Bin Laden could escape the most powerful nation in the world, a task even Saddam Hussein was not able to do?

10. The 911 attacks have conveniently diverted American's attention away from the Bush administration’s implementation of electronic voting machines in the United States. The three main companies chosen to implement these computerized voting are ES&S, Diebold and Sequia. All three companies appear to have seriously troubling links to far right Christian Fundamentalists groups and the Bushes. Bush’s brand of Christianity believes that only white (or well connected) Christians should have the right to vote in the United States. This is a dangerous mix.

WIN FOR SAUDIS
WIN FOR BUSH

We now find ourselves in a situation where the United States government is nearly completely controlled by extreme right wing Christian Fundamentalists. The House, the Senate and the Presidency. Next stop, the Supreme Court.

If the Bushes have gained control of the computerized voting machines there is absolutely no way that Democrats can ever hope to get back into power in any branch of the US government in the new Christian Fundamentalist state of Bush. The secret “proprietary” voting programs will always favor the ‘correct’ Christian Republicans. Fox news, the Washington Times, Rush Limbaugh, UPI and a host of other far right media outlets will willing show corrupt polls that favor the Republican candidate and confirm their corrupt win.

Fellow American’s I hope this is not the case, but I believe we are in for some bad times.

8. Disinfo

There is no proof that planes were hijacked by saudi's. At least 7 of the people STILL named by the FBI are alive.

9. Why should anyone give money to Mr Schwarz?

I still don't understand why this man's questions are worth donating money to.

[neebob]

19. Those are not his questions

You did read them, didn't you?

[sangh0]

23. So I should give him money because those are not his questions?

Why should I give money for this?

:shrug:

[neebob]

26. Yes, please just give him the money.

[ldf]

20. ok, set my watch

so dependable.

[Nlighten1]

25. Then don't donate...

If you do feel the need to donate perhaps you should find your own answers to "why" you should donate to his cause....thinking for yourself is the best way to do that.

[Robbie67]

10. Yet one more thing

that Democrtas won't participate in (except for the heroic Cynthia McKinney)

[sangh0]

12. Why should they participate in this?

Do you know?

[ima_sinnic]

14. why are you so scathing of Mr Schwarz, anyway?

at least he is out writing, giving speeches, and trying in all ways to get the truth out, or at least get people demanding answers. so we should fault him for this? the man has made a sincere effort to dissuade people from Bush and Bush's agenda and everytime his name comes up you want to run interference.

what the #%(*& is your problem, anyway? I have never used the ignore feature but I think I might want to start now.

[sangh0]

15. Scathing? Moi? Where?

And I highly recommend the ignore feature.

[sangh0]

18. Another personal attack

with no basis in fact

[NecessaryOnslaught]

27. Every post you've made on this matter has been a personal attack.

Any facts to refute the points made in this letter, or are you going to continue to do nothing but attack the messenger?
