1. Steps To Take Before, On and After Election Day
Sadly, no one can assure that elections will go smoothly, or even that our electronically-recorded votes will actually be tallied as we indicate. But that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to be done on Election Day. Quite the contrary. Your vigilance is needed more than ever, as is the participation of every citizen in this deeply flawed system.
Mark Crispin Miller has offered his thoughts on how all of us might make the best of it on November 7. There are some excellent ideas there, along with an important call for support of an independent exit polling initiative that needs full funding.
In addition, you can become an Election Protection volunteer with People for the American Way (http://www.ep365.org/site/c.fnKGIMNtEoG/b.2052619/k.C0C1/Become_a_Volunteer.htm).
2. “Jersey Girls” Spur New Petition Drive
Some prominent 9/11 victims’family members are demanding the declassification of documents pertaining to the “out of the ordinary” July 10, 2001 meeting between then-CIA chief George Tenet and then-National Security Advisor Condoleeza Rice. The meeting reportedly concerned “the increasingly dire warnings of an imminent al Qaeda attack within the U.S,” and has been reported on for the first time by Bob Woodward in his recent book, “State of Denial.”
We fully support and strongly admire their continuing fight for answers. The ‘Jersey Girls’ are asking supporters to sign their petition at: http://www.petitiononline.com/july10/petition.html
3. Broadening the Article Base at 911truth.org (and new web site upgrade, too)
We’ve made a host of significant improvements to the layout of our site, www.911truth.org, and you will also notice that our front page has recently been home to a number of articles on subjects other than 9/11.
Given the seriousness of the political situation in the US and the continuing assault on civil liberties and the rule of law, you can be sure we will continue to host articles we judge to be politically important. As always, we welcome your submissions and suggestions for stories, research and articles to link to.
3a. Military Commission Act Redux
We agree with the call issued by our friends at World Can’t Wait: we cannot count on a “pendulum swing” to fix the deteriorating political situation in this country. We hope you will agree that with the passing of the Military Commissions Act, practicing resistance of some kind every day has become an imperative. We must signal our strength, our commitment and our unwillingness to rest until this country has been returned to a legitimate rule.
If you still have not familiarized yourself with the Military Commissions Act, a recent article by Jennifer Van Bergen brings home its terrifying implications for citizens and aliens alike.
4. South Park Does 9/11 Conspiracy (in their own inimitable way)
A recent South Park episode took 9/11 skepticism as one of its subjects. 911truth.org was featured prominently, though not favorably, according to one of our steering committee who was disappointed with the episode. But not everyone felt that way. The article generated a ton of reader feedback, most of which thought the show’s portrayal was not so one-sided.
