Bill Douglas, Steve Alten, The Shell Game

What's the background on this Bill Douglas person? Is he the same guy discussed in the "op ed news" thread? Evidently, he is VERY enthusiastic about the imminent release of this novel, whose website (according to the blog at Apt 911B) will feature links to 9/11 Truth sites. Someone claiming to be the founder of the "9/11 Visibility Project" just enrolled at BOTH Portland 9/11 truth yahoo groups, which I take to be a further attempt to generate interest in this project, as described here

Dear 9/11 Truth Seekers Demanding a New 9/11 Investigation,

TruthMove Will Save Us All

[Some of the folks at TruthMove have been working on a kind of pro-unity/anti-dis-misinformation statement for groups and individuals to endorse and they have made an almost-final version public for a final critique. (The bulk of the work has gone on in a private forum.) ]

Open Thread, or WTF?

Rather than contaminate other people's blogs with OT posts on trivial matters, I thought an open thread might be useful.

Now, WTF is up with the Apartment?

Happy Birthday to Danse!

It's a big one for one of 9/11 Truth's most insightful, articulate commenters and fab filmmakers. Commiserate or felicitate!

My favorite recent Danse line, from the Truthmove forum in response to you-know-who about Israel: "I didn't support apartheid back in the day and I'm sure as hell not going to start now."

Serving Two Flags

[There's been a little discussion at 911blogger and the TruthMove forum regarding whether or not the oft-referenced "dual citizenship" of many of the neo-cons can be reliably sourced as fact. Although this article does not mention the citizenship status of the neo-con players in question, it certainly makes a strong case for entirely fractured -- or non-existent -- national loyalty. More thanks to the sacks of shit at CounterPunch.]

Comment Voting Compromised Chez Blogger? And What's Up with Selective Comment Moderation?

I don't really think it's likely, but I do find the relentless down-voting of Chris and Erin S. Myers in the "Amerika Uber Alles" thread somewhat surprising.  Anyway, one reason for starting this blog is that the thread called "What Should Blogger Do About Its Comments" here has gotten too long.  I hate it when things go on to a second page, and making pages longer (mine are set at 90 comments per page) will eventually really stress the database server (or so I've heard).

Erin S. Myers Threatens to Pop Me One

Over at the blogger, the thread in which Carol Brouillet has reposted Eric S. May's article "Amerika Uber Alles" is turning into something very strange. Posts that indicate the writer doesn't feel May's cartoon Jew-hating is relevant are being mercilessly downvoted, which is perhaps leading to some frustration. Erin S. Myers, whom I have always considered a congenial fellow bloggerite, posts this in a comment titled "Got Red Book?" which is a direct response to me:

"This behavior a foot is possibly the most loathsome singlemindset
imaginable to me. It would surly test most all my sand not to smack you
in the face if you were standing here."

All the Motivation I Need

I will be emceeing a war protest in Portland tomorrow, which will probably mean speaking in front of a couple of thousand people. I think I can do it fine, but if I feel stage fright, I'm going to think of this video. Warning: it contains some really gutwrenching/heartbreaking images of injured and dead Iraqi children. (And I love this Foo Fighters song.)

Your Advice Sought in a Most Important Matter

Thanks to my efforts to bring 9/11 Truth to the unwashed masses of the left community in Portland by infiltrating their organizing committees, I will be emceeing an anti-war rally on Saturday.  They know I represent a group called "The September 11 Affinity Group" so they won't be shocked when I get Truthy -- but I want it to be classy Truth!  I just want some good basic tidbits to pepper in while I carry out my basic duties to introduce the speakers and so forth.  Should I wear a 911truth.org teeshirt a la South Park?  Are there any catchy but pithy things I can say?  One thing I thought of was something like "We know the war on Iraq was built on lies -- one of them being the utterly false assertion that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11.  But that's a lie built on a lie, because not only was he not involved, but we to this day do not know any of the truth about what happened."  Somethin' like that.

Litmus Test

This was a comment made by Erin S. Myers in Jon Gold's current (weekly?) Sibel Edmonds thread at apt911b.  I should note that I did not ask Erin for permission to repost this -- and if he has a problem I will remove it at once.

This is the simplified version of a 'litmus test' developed over the
last several years which seems to work moderately well. However, just
remember that here, there are no real absolutes and the results should
be incorporated into a much larger intel gathering process and analysis
which continually affords the best benefits of doubt to the subject
BEFORE gravitating toward conclusions, and especially before any plans
of action are chosen or executed.

Welcome to the Florida Reich


 

This is a difficult video to watch. Important elements to consider, in my view:

Do you think the guy was intoxicated or just nervous? Mentally ill? Could he possibly have been known to campus security as a mentally ill person? (It should go without saying -- but does not -- that this would be absolutely no excuse for tasering him.)

Does this feel at little theatrical? Could it be a staged attempt to discourage people from confronting candidates or other public figures?

Does Anyone Else Keep an Eye on "TruthMove"?

This is the group that split off from NYC 9/11 Truth and Les Jamieson a while back, and the folks that broke the story about Eric D. Williams, Holocaust Revisionist Plagiarizer, being associated with the Arizona conference. Right now, they're in a tizzy about needing to completely separate from the 9/11 "Truth" Movement because of all the crazies, and that includes anyone who considers the possibility that something other than AA 77 hit the Pentagon. Unfortunately, the first name floated, "9/11 Accountability Movement", had to be immediately scrapped when they recalled that the Arizona event was named the "9/11 Accountability Conference".

Fragments on 9/11 Truth, Justice, and Peace from a "Young" Jewish Intellectual, Part One

This is a repost from Apt.911b by Shumonik, who graciously gave me permission. I, for one, very much welcome input from pro-peace self-identified Jews on this site!

Part One: Breaking the Silence Barrier

the media mostly ignore, issues they distort and even ridicule."— Amy

Clueless or What? Accusations of Anti-Semitism Nix DRG's Appearance in Ireland

As noted in an article on 911b, Morgan Stack, who had arranged this appearance of David Ray Griffin on September 11, had his venue contract revoked yesterday, due to the threat of protests by "Jewish groups". Now, my initial response to this was to file it in the same place I put the account of globalresearch's problem with the ADL -- that is, as intimidation carried out by those able to erroneously conflate 9/11 Truth and hatred of Jews.

But check it out: Morgan Stack appears to be at the least a very sloppy user of the English language, or an actual anti-Semite. And here is what he made himself a target of: an article by a very pissed off indymedia user citing anti-Semitism on his website:
