in need of some onion-layer peeling, Gretavo!

Suddenly the media decide to make a big stink about the fact that Jones, an Obama appointee, signed 911truth.org's statement from 2004--a statement so LIHOPpy that Jon Gold is pimping it over at blogger:

911truth.org Statement to the Press

http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20090904181706887

September 4, 2009

Numerous media outlets have contacted 911truth.org, asking us to "make sense" of Van Jones' "strange" behavior. We have issued the following statement:

As the eighth anniversary of 9/11 approaches, what doesn't make sense to us is that media outlets choose to impugn the character of the signatories rather than carry out your responsibility as watchdogs to call attention to the as yet unanswered questions raised in the 2004 statement. Five years later, we challenge you to finally print those same unanswered questions and pursue their answers with the same vigor with which you pursue the signatories.

We are overwhelmed by all the messages of support that we have received in the last 24 hours. We apologize that we can not possibly respond to each individual message, but please know we do read each one and are grateful for your support. For those of you asking what you can do to help, we encourage you to use the questions of this 2004 Statement as talking points for calls to your local media outlets and national call-in programs, and letters to the editors. Perhaps with your help, we can finally get answers to these lingering questions. Thank you.

 

For readers' convenience, following is the actual Truth Statement signed onto by Van Jones in 2004, currently being discussed in the media.

The Statement

We Want Real Answers About 9/11

On August 31, 2004, Zogby International, the official North American political polling agency for Reuters, released a poll that found nearly half (49.3%) of New York City residents and 41% of those in New York state believe US leaders had foreknowledge of impending 9/11 attacks and "consciously failed" to act. Of the New York City residents, 66% called for a new probe of unanswered questions by Congress or the New York Attorney General.

In connection with this news, we have assembled 100 notable Americans and 40 family members of those who died to sign this 9/11 Statement, which calls for immediate public attention to unanswered questions that suggest that people within the current administration may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war.

We want truthful answers to questions such as:

1. Why were standard operating procedures for dealing with hijacked airliners not followed that day?
2. Why were the extensive missile batteries and air defenses reportedly deployed around the Pentagon not activated during the attack?
3. Why did the Secret Service allow Bush to complete his elementary school visit, apparently unconcerned about his safety or that of the schoolchildren?
4. Why hasn't a single person been fired, penalized, or reprimanded for the gross incompetence we witnessed that day?
5. Why haven't authorities in the U.S. and abroad published the results of multiple investigations into trading that strongly suggested foreknowledge of specific details of the 9/11 attacks, resulting in tens of millions of dollars of traceable gains?
6. Why has Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator who claims to have knowledge of advance warnings, been publicly silenced with a gag order requested by Attorney General Ashcroft and granted by a Bush-appointed judge?
7. How could Flight 77, which reportedly hit the Pentagon, have flown back towards Washington D.C. for 40 minutes without being detected by the FAA's radar or the even superior radar possessed by the US military?
8. How were the FBI and CIA able to release the names and photos of the alleged hijackers within hours, as well as to visit houses, restaurants, and flight schools they were known to frequent?
9. What happened to the over 20 documented warnings given our government by 14 foreign intelligence agencies or heads of state?
10. Why did the Bush administration cover up the fact that the head of the Pakistani intelligence agency was in Washington the week of 9/11 and reportedly had $100,000 wired to Mohamed Atta, considered the ringleader of the hijackers?
11. Why did the 911 Commission fail to address most of the questions posed by the families of the victims, in addition to almost all of the questions posed here?
12. Why was Philip Zelikow chosen to be the Executive Director of the ostensibly independent 911 Commission although he had co-authored a book with Condoleezza Rice?

Those who are demanding deeper inquiry now number in the hundreds of thousands, including a former member of the first Bush administration, a retired Air Force colonel, a European parliamentarian, families of the victims, highly respected authors, investigative journalists, peace and justice leaders, former Pentagon staff, and the National Green Party.

 

As Americans of conscience, we ask for four things:

1. An immediate investigation by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer
2. Immediate investigation in Congressional Hearings.
3. Media attention to scrutinize and investigate the evidence.
4. The formation of a truly independent citizens-based inquiry.

Given the importance of the coming election, we feel it is imperative that these questions be addressed publicly, honestly, and rigorously so that Americans may exercise their democratic rights with full awareness.

 

In closing, we pray and hope for the strength to approach this subject with wisdom and compassion so that we may heal from the wounds inflicted on that terrible day.

Signed,

Signatories

So again, best of both worlds for the real perps--the MSM can preach to the sheep about those awful truthers, and the fake truthers can spread 911truth.org's LIHOP message far and wide as if it was what the MSM are "really" afraid of.  And all around the anniversary, when 911truth gets the most attention from the public it does all year...  Yeah, this isn't all part of a script... ha!

gretavo has .... Boston/Harvard ...every day, man

trolls?

so happy you have come around to demolition, Sander. stay with it.

why doesn't sander join us for real?? that would be something!

I have read "The Graham Report" in it's entirety on more then one occasion. To categorize The Graham Report as 'cutting edge' is more then a stretch of the author's imagination.

The Graham report is nothing more then the delusional rantings of a paranoid old man who most definitely had an anti-Muslim /anti-Arab streak that.

Graham's racist and delusional expressions are encountered throughout the Graham Report and, IMO, anyone who pushes the Graham Report as 'cutting edge' has either not read the full document or goes by the name of Sander Hicks.

The story of Dr. Graham belo0ngs with space beams and tv fakery.

And another important questions for Sander and Dr. Graham...

If Dr. Graham was hot on the trail of Arabs plotting evil in Louisiana and if Graham gave all his notes to the FBI, why didn't he provide 'notes' that contained the weird names he saw?

You're telling me he took meticulous notes but just forgot to notate the most important details of the entire story?

Graham goes to the FBI and turns in all his notes which DON'T contain the evil Arab names that resulted in this entire Graham report.

There is not one single source that corroborates the claim that Dr. Graham had the name's of alleged hijackers before 9/11/2001.

Not one single source.

I say again...

TV Faker, Space Beams and The Graham Report belong in the same garbage bin

not surprising--what a complete and utter fake.

Why the haste? I have to leave for work in a few minutes so I was trying to get a quick response. No big deal, I'll let him post it himself if he finds the time or I'll just type it out myself later or tomorrow. Or were you implying something else with that question? :-)
