         <title>The Necessary Embrace of Conspiracy</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a title="The necessary embrace of conspiracy" target="_blank" href="http://onlinejournal.com/artman/publish/article_2372.shtml">The necessary embrace of conspiracy</a></p>

<p>By Robert Shetterly </p>

<p>[read the whole article at the link above; it is well worth it...]</p>

<p>"...I think we’re confronted with two conspiracies here: one to commit the crime, the other to ignore it even when the facts are known. ( Two sides of the same coin.) The man who accused me of slipping into the neurotic, aliens-are–among-us land of conspiracy nuts was unable to hear the evidence, perhaps because he was so utterly convinced by our government and media that conspiracies don’t exist, people who espouse them are dangerous fruitcakes, and if you begin to think like that, your whole house of cards wobbles then topples. Who wants that? Better a standing tower of marked cards, than having to admit the game is rigged and the ground is shaking..."</p>]]></description>

         <title>Top hoaxes supported by people in the Truth Movement</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>I hate to rain on people's parade, but there are a large number of outright ridiculous statements lapped up unquestioningly by the 9/11 Truth Movement.  </p>

<p>Please help kill these myths!</p>

<p>1) The income tax is illegal</p>

<p>This hoax was spread largely by the movie "America: From Freedom to Fascism."  The claim:<em> Brushaber v. Union Pacific Railroad</em> ruled that the 16th Amendment gave the Congress no new power to tax and <em>Eisner v. Macomber</em> ruled that the definition of income was of profit from corporate activity.</p>

<p>In reality, the <em>Brushaber</em> case ruled 9-0 that the income tax WAS legal and although the 16th gave Congress no new power to tax, it already had that power!  The <i>Eisner</i> case said absolutely nothing to suggest that wages were not income.  So Russo's entire argument that lower courts weren't complying with the Supreme Court was not true. </p>

<p>The Fed is a scam, and the IRS are thugs, and judges are corrupt.  But unfortunately, none of that makes the income tax illegal.  If you're going to not pay income tax, call it what it is: CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.  Civil disobedience is a noble tradition in fighting tyranny.  Make up fantasy loopholes is not.  And it is embarassing the 9/11 Truth Movement.</p>

<p>2) Bush called the Constitution "a goddamned piece of paper."  </p>

<p>This entire fabrication has spread for one reason only: it's catchy.  The source is Doug Thompson of capitolhillblue.com.  It is totally uncorroborated and utterly fantastical.  Thompson claims that private Bush aides told him--and nobody else--about this.  There is no basis for anyone to believe that Thompson has the connections he claims to have, and in all likelihood, Thompson made this story up in his head, to drive traffic to his site.</p>

<p>3)  Anything about there having been no planes hitting the Twin Towers</p>

<p>4) There was something funny going on, because how could have the wings have gone right through those steel exterior columns in the Twin Towers?</p>

<p>This is debunked here:<br />
http://www.a2planet.com/aa911truth/viewtopic.php?p=1694#1694</p>

<p>5) The Towers fell so fast, controlled demolition is ruled out, must have been advanced weapons, etc.</p>

<p>This is the idea pioneered by Jim Fetzer, who managed to split Scholars for 9/11 Truth over the issue.  </p>

<p>Fetzer is famous for this stuff.  After JFK, Fetzer declared that all kinds of absurd evidence proves that [i]the entire Zapruder film was inauthentic and was in fact re-created with actors or something.[/i]  </p>

<p>The evidence of controlled demolition is very strong--highly corroborated by witnesses, scientists, etc.  The evidence of HAARP demolition or whatever is astonishingly weak. Yet people still seem to believe it.</p>

<p>I could go on, but I'll be happy if these are done away with...</p>]]></description>

         <title>Purdue Simulation Full of Hot Air</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><a title="George Washington's Blog: Purdue Simulation: Full of Hot Air" target="_blank" href="http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2007/06/purdue-simulation-full-of-hot-air.html">George Washington's Blog: Purdue Simulation: Full of Hot Air</a></p>

<p>Another flashy simulation to try to prove how the Twin Towers could have collapsed the way they did from the impact of the planes.  Unfortunately it's already debunked.  </p>

<p>Moreover, that the government keeps needing more and more studies to back up their claims only goes to show that the pre-existing studies weren't good enough.</p>

<p>Additionally, <a href="http://whatreallyhappened.com" target="_blank">WRH</a> notes:</p>

<blockquote>Check out <a target="_blank" href="http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/fn/4905202.html">http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/fn/4905202.html</a> which reports that the National Science Foundation funded the recent Purdue "simulation" that bolstered the official story of 9-11.

<p>Followed by <a href="http://csd.tamu.edu/news_item.2006-03-02.1870688104" target="_blank">this article</a> which notes "President Bush Proposes to Double the National Science Foundation Budget."</p>

<p>Can you say "Payoff?"</blockquote></p>]]></description>

         <title>Death From WTC Dust Added to 9/11 Casualty List</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>The <a title="My Way News - Death From WTC Dust Added to 9/11 List" target="_blank" href="http://apnews.myway.com/article/20070524/D8PAMEQO4.html">Associated Press</a> reports that the deaths from inhaling the toxic dust cloud on 9/11 are finally acknowledged:</p>

<blockquote>Felicia Dunn-Jones died of lung disease five months after Sept. 11, and last year her family asked that the city's medical examiner add her name to the death toll.

<p>New York City Chief Medical Examiner Charles Hirsch refused, writing back that his office could not link her death to the exposure "with certainty beyond a reasonable doubt."</p>

<p>That changed Wednesday, when Dunn-Jones was added to the medical examiner's list of attack victims. It marked the first time the city has officially linked a death to the toxic dust caused by the World Trade Center's collapse.</p>

<p>The 42-year-old attorney was caught in the dust cloud while fleeing the collapsing towers on Sept. 11, 2001. She died of sarcoidosis, a disease that causes inflammation and scarring in the lungs, on Feb. 10, 2002.</p>

<p>In explaining the reversal, Hirsch cited "accumulated scientific research" that concluded exposure to trade center dust can cause or contribute to sarcoidosis.</p>

<p>"Mrs. Dunn-Jones' exposure to World Trade Center dust on 9/11/01 contributed to her death and it has been ruled a homicide," Hirsch wrote. "Mrs. Dunn-Jones has now been added to the list of people who died as a result of the collapse of the World Trade Center towers."</p>

<p>The city puts the Sept. 11 death toll at the trade center at 2,750. Dunn-Jones will be listed on the Sept. 11 memorial when it opens in 2009, a spokeswoman for the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation said.</p>

<p>A class-action lawsuit has claimed that dozens of deaths have been caused by exposure to toxic trade center dust.</p>

<p>A study published this month by a Fire Department of New York doctor linked sarcoidosis definitively to exposure to the toxic plume that enveloped lower Manhattan after Sept. 11. It found that firefighters contracted the disease at a much higher rate after the attacks than before...</blockquote></p>]]></description>

         <title>Alternet slimes Rosie O&apos;Donnell--again</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Covered in advertisements and now with its own dating service, people are starting to figure out that AlterNet is just another gatekeeper, a diversion for the anti-war movement.</p>

<p>It's become notorious for sliming the 9/11 Truth Movement, and upon announcing her departure from <em>The View</em>, AlterNet saw a good chance to take <br />
<a title="AlterNet: MediaCulture: Unorthodox and Sometimes Polarizing, the Incredibly Popular Rosie O'Donnell Will Exit Stage Left" target="_blank" href="http://www.alternet.org/mediaculture/51464/?cID=652219#c652219">another stab</a>:</p>

<blockquote>When she trumpeted 9/11 conspiracy theories recently, suggesting it was an inside job, critics, including AlterNet's Joshua Holland, suggested she helped fuel embarrassing right-wing stereotypes about liberals: "that they're extremists, that they're defined by their fringe and led by out-of-touch Hollywood elites."</blockquote>

<p>Pretty straightforward message from AlterNet: "Political consequences are more important than the truth."</p>

<p>What a bloody joke.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Online Petition</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>On October 14th, 2006, Monica Gabrielle, Lorie Van Auken, Mindy Kleinberg, and Patty Casazza started a petition that calls for, "the immediate declassification and release of all transcripts and documents relating to the July 10, 2001 meeting that took place between former CIA Director George Tenet and then National Security Advisor, Condoleezza Rice" as well as "the declassification and release of both the redacted 28 pages of the Joint Inquiry Into The Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001 (JICI) and the CIA Inspector General’s report, "CIA Accountability With Respect To The 9/11 Attacks".</p>

<p>On February 12th, Joseph Murtaugh interviewed Lorie Van Auken, and she said, “There’s no good reason for not signing this petition,” says Van Auken. “They’re just documents that help explain events leading up 9/11, and they should be in the public domain. If this petition were ever to hit 15,000 names, we’d take it to Washington.”</p>

<p>So help out:</p>

         <title>Big events in Ann Arbor and Detroit Saturday</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>Everyone is invited to three great events this Saturday, the 28th: </p>

<p>Noon, Federal Building, Liberty and Fifth, Ann Arbor: Protests against the usual, and in particular, calling for impeachment of the Bush Administration, starting with Bush and Cheney.  Protests on this subject will be happening all over the country, so start one in your area if it isn't being planned already.  </p>

<p>2pm, The Planet, 613 N. Main, Ann Arbor: Mike Palecek will be doing a reading and book signing of his latest book, "The American Dream."  </p>

<p>Palecek is also the author of "KGB (Killing George Bush)," "Terror Nation," "The Last Liberal Outlaw," "Searching for Bigfoot," "The Truth," "Prophets Without Humor," and other books. A tireless activist, Palecek recently was denied the Canadian leg of his book tour for non-repentence of his arrest and prison time for protesting against the United States military at Offutt Air Force Base.</p>

<p>Palecek's website is <a href="http://www.iowapeace.com" target="_blank">www.iowapeace.com</a></p>

<p>Check out a great article of his at: <a href="http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/cgi-bin/blogs/voices.php/2007/04/23/p16249" target="_blank">The People's Voice.</a></p>

<p>From what I've read, it sounds like he's had a rough time on the road, so please come and give him a warm welcome.</p>

<p>And then at 9pm, at the Bohemian National Home, 3009 Tillman in Detroit, come to the CD release party for Frank Pahl's latest and greatest album, "Songs of War and Peace."  It's landmark anti-war album, with Frank's vocals, home-made instruments, and classic Americana strings.  With Frank Pahl and the War and Peace band, including Little Bang Theory & members of Only a Mother & Immigrant Suns.  Special guest TBA.  Sliding scale, $5-10 suggested.  For more info on that event, call 313-737-6606.</p>

<p>I'm not good at describing music with words, especially when I need to write such a rave review, so instead, just listen to a couple tracks from this incredible album: </p>

<p><a href="http://www.a2planet.com/aa911truth/Pahl - More.mp3" target="_blank">More</a><br />
<a href="http://www.a2planet.com/aa911truth/Pahl - Grand Old World.mp3" target="_blank">Grand Old World</a></p>

<p>See you Saturday!<br />
