Canada’s CBC airs 9/11 Documentary: ‘The Unofficial Story’

November 29, 2009
CBC
News: The Fifth Estate
‘The Unofficial Story: Eight years after 9/11, why are doubts growing about
the official record of that day?’
This documentary was originally broadcast on November 27, 2009 on Canada’s
CBC and will be available for viewing at www.CBC.ca.

DESCRIPTION
On September 11, 2001 the world watched in shock and disbelief as planes flew
in to New York’s World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington, and Americans
realized they were under attack. But by whom? What really happened? In The Unofficial
Story, the fifth estate’s Bob McKeown introduces us to people who believe the
real force behind the attacks was not Osama Bin Laden, but the U.S. government
itself.
Emerging from the dust and debris that day was a movement, known these days
as 9/11 Truth or “truthers” — people who believe that 9/11
was part of a vast conspiracy and cover-up by a criminal faction within the
U.S. government. As the fifth estate reports, public opinion polls now show
that the majority of Americans believe the Bush Administration had advance knowledge
of those attacks and somehow allowed them to happen and that one-third of Canadians
share the same belief.
In The Unofficial Story, Bob McKeown explores why these questions and theories
are growing in popularity.

Zelikow’s ‘What Do I Do Now?’ Memo Found

Posted at the History Commons Groups

November 27, 2009

We have found the famous “What Do I Do Now?” memo drafted by 9/11 Commission Executive Director Philip Zelikow on March 2, 2003. The memo advised staffers newly hired by the commission what they should do after starting work.
The memo was found by Erik at the National Archives and uploaded to the 9/11 Document Archive at Scribd.
Philip Shenon’s The Commission highlighted the memo and one controversial section in particular. The section says:

Interactions with commissioners can be helpful to you and them. If you are contacted by a commissioner with questions, please contact Chris [Kojm, Zelikow's deputy] or me. Consulting with the Chair and Vice-Chair, we will be sure that the appropriate members of the Commission staff are responsive.

‘Terrorist attacks or controlled demolitions?’ TVNew Zealand’s ‘Close Up’ with Richard Gage, AIA

8:12PM Friday November 27, 2009
Source: Close
Up, TVNZ
Description:
Close Up speaks to a renowned architect as he claims a destroyed building in
the 9/11 attacks collapsed due to controlled demolitions.
Everyone can remember the collapse of the World Trade Centres in New York in
2001, but not many can accurately recall that not two, but three buildings went
done.
Tower 7, as it was called, collapsed in the afternoon of September 11th, 2001,
but failed to gain notoriety because it was never hit by a plane, yet still
it came down.
Which is exactly what troubles internationally respected architect Richard
Gage, who’s causing a stir in the USA for claiming that the buildings were instead
destroyed by controlled demolitions with explosives.

9/11 tragedy pager intercepts

November 25, 2009
[Story Updated 12/2/2009 at 911truth.org with reviwed material from www.911.wikileaks.org.]
Wikileaks.org
From 3AM on Wednesday November 25, 2009, until 3AM the following day (US east
coast time), WikiLeaks released half a million US national text pager
intercepts. The intercepts cover a 24 hour period surrounding the September
11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington.
The messages were broadcasted “live” to the global community — sychronized to the time of day they were sent. The first message was from 3AM September 11, 2001, five hours before the first attack, and the last, 24 hours later.

Text pagers are usually carried by persons operating in an official capacity. Messages in the archive range from Pentagon, FBI, FEMA and New York Police Department exchanges, to computers reporting faults at investment banks inside the World Trade Center.

The archive is a completely objective record of the defining moment of our time. We hope that its entrance into the historical record will lead to a nuanced understanding of how this event led to death, opportunism and war.

9/11 Widows Hit Cheney for Fighting KSM Trial

By Michael McAuliff
November 24, 2009
NYDailyNews.com

Some 9/11 widows who want to see a terror trial in New York today questioned why a group strongly linked to Liz Cheney is leading the charge in opposition to the trial.

Her father, after all, is the man many Democrats and liberals think broke the law in pushing for interrogation techniques now deemed torture by the Obama administration, and which were used on Al Qaeda plotter Khalid Shaikh Mohammed.

The anti-trial group is led by Debra Burlingame — whose brother piloted one of the doomed planes — and who is a guiding light at 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America.

The 9/11 Families group had as a springboard Keep America Safe, a Liz Cheney vehicle where Burlingame serves on the board.

The Hard Evidence Down Under Tour 2009 – An Amazing Success!!

The Hard Evidence Down Under 2009 Tour has nearly wrapped up, following events
in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Australia and in Wellington, New Zealand. Every one of these events met with overwhelming success.

John Bursill, Principle Organizer of the tour, and his ‘backup crew’ made up
of scores of dedicated, generous, passionate volunteers planned and executed
a very significant series of events that resulted in the presentation of 9/11
truth information, in person, to approximately 1,200 people and along the way,
radio interviews and news stories reached at least tens of thousands more. Kudos and much gratitude are in order to John, his wonderful, patient wife and family, to Helen
in New Zealand who coordinated the Wellington event, and to the many volunteers who gave so much to make this important tour happen. Of course, sincere thanks go out, as well, to the event sponsors whose very generous financial contributions made possible travel from the United
States by presenters Richard Gage, AIA, founder of Architects
and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Professor Steven Jones, emeritus professor
of physics, founder of Scholars
for 9/11 Truth and Justice and co-editor of the Journal
of 9/11 Studies, Cosmos, founder of TruthAction.org
and the massive “Eleventh Day of Every Month Till Justice” campaign, Luke
Rudkowski, founder of WeAreChange
and Janice Matthews, Director of 911Truth.org
and small business owner, so that we could present in Sydney. In addition, Ken Jenkins
and hummux, of 911TV.org,
were brought from the U.S. to record the proceedings and manage our sound production,
with the help of an incredible lighting crew and volunteer camera operators
who brought it all together. (Video of the Sydney proceedings will be available
via TheHardEvidence.com and 911TV.com soon – we will announce that
as soon as details are available.) Sunday’s event, which focused on the activism
needed to propagate the hard evidence presented to an audience of about 220, including many professional architects and engineers on Saturday, also featured presentations by
Ken Jenkins of 911TV.org
and the Northern California
9/11 Truth Alliance, Hereward Fenton of 911oz.com
and Truth
News Radio Australia, and Dr. Frank Legge, Chemist, co-editor of Journal
of 9/11 Studies who also manages Scienceof911.com.au.
A panel assembled Saturday afternoon also included the participation of James O’Neill, practicing barrister in Queensland, who offered commentary on potential legal proceedings.

Personal Reflection on Australia Tour

by Janice Matthews
November 23, 2009For this Midwestern U.S. chicken-farming Director, I would feel quite ungrateful if I did not share a few of the other personal highlights of this trip. We were given a day of relaxation in the midst of all the event preparations, for which I will honestly be forever grateful. I would surely never have been able to experience this beauty and personal renewal had it not been for the two generous individuals who sponsored my travel and the incredible kindred spirits who pulled this all together. …

911 Truth Seekers was formed by a group of Utahns who are concerned that our Government is lying regarding the "official story" of 9/11. We are proud supporters of the research of Professor Steven E. Jones and others who are speaking out about the questionable events of September 11th, 2001.
