Michael Moore asking questions about 9.11
peace rebel boy | 23.04.2002 20:57
He spoke about many topics, but spent a good chunk of time talking about 9.11, and wondering why people aren't demanding an investigation. That Moore has joined those asking questions about 9.11 is helping to bring this topic out of the fringe and into the mainstream. Critics of 9.11 investigation should take notice.
The following are excerpts from portland indymedia coverage of his April 21st speech in Eugene. The complete portland indymedia coverage can be found here: http://portland.indymedia.org:8081/front.php3?article_id=9571&group=webcast
"This isn't a war on terrorists. This is a war on us."
"Why are our leaders and the media afraid to ask questions?" Moore demanded. "I have some questions. I'm an American. Someone I know died that day." Diving right in, Moore asked: "First, what are the financial connections between the bin Laden and Bush families?" According to the New York Times and the New Yorker, cited Moore, the bin Laden family has been "funding" the Bushes since 1979. In that year, Arbusto, George W.'s first company, an oil business in Texas, started with the help of bin Laden money.
At this point, the room we were in got deathly silent. You could feel the tension rise all around. About a half dozen people got up and left. It felt like the whole audience was on the edge of their seats.
In 1993, Moore went on, Bush Sr. started the Carlisle investment group, which has since become the 11th largest defense contractor in the nation. It buys failing defense firms, revives them, and sells them at a profit. Who was one of the first investors in Carlisle, right up until September 11, 2001? The bin Laden family. The New York times mentioned this in three articles post-9.11. Imitating those who question the relevance of these facts, Moore whined, "You can't blame the brothers and fathers for Osama." But you can, Moore said. "They haven't all quite divested themselves from him. Several family members continued to visit him in Afghanistan, as recently as June", 2001. "Isn't this odd?" Moore said. "A financial relationship that goes back over two decades?"
For perspective, Moore speculated on what would have happened if a similar relationship had been discovered after the destruction of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, in 1995, and it had turned out that the McVeighs had been funding Clinton since the 70's. "Would anyone have asked to investigate or appoint a special counsel? Wouldn't the press have asked even one question?"
"In the week after September 11, two dozen bin Ladens were allowed to fly out of the country" on private chartered Saudi jets. "'We're concerned about their safety,' they said." This makes no sense, in Moore's opinion. "In a murder investigation, you ask the family questions, 'Where is he?' 'When was the last time you saw him?' 'Could you help us if you see him again?'" Describing 9.11 as the "largest mass murder in the history of the country", Moore asked why "24 bin Ladens were whisked out and nobody asks a question. Isn't this a little bizarre?"
Referring to the nationalities of the alleged hijackers, Moore said, "Fifteen out of Nineteen were from Saudi Arabia, not Afghanistan. Did we miss? What's that all about?"
"But Afghanistan was harboring El Quaida," Moore said, again imitating a skeptic. But, he answered, "Since when does the government go after the landlord on our behalf?" Moore speculated that we didn't hit Saudi Arabia because we "can't bomb business partners of daddy [Bush]".
Citing the Washington Post, Moore reminded the audience that Osama bin Laden was on dialysis at this time. However, "Bush wanted a mastermind, a villain, someone scary, a reason to pass the PATRIOT Act." But the story disappeared quickly because Osama bin Laden is "not so scary hooked up to dialysis, is he? Did he have a kidney machine in every fifth cave in Afghanistan? We're supposed to believe that he's controlling all this from caves? I can't even get cell reception from Salem to Eugene! They think we're stupid."
"This isn't a war on terror," Moore stated. "This is a war on us, to shred the Constitution and take away our liberties. They think they're going to get away with it."
Bringing to light yet more fishy information, Moore cited the BBC, which reported that members of the Taliban came to Texas in 1997 to meet with George W.'s oil company buddies, while George W. was governor there. Who were these companies? "Unocal, which wanted a pipeline across Afghanistan," "Halliburton, whose president was Dick Cheney," and "Enron, which did the feasibility study" for the pipeline, and which wanted another pipeline to supply natural gas to a plant it had built in India.
Later, during the question and answer session, one questioner mentioned Mike Ruppert's recent appearance in Eugene, cited evidence from his website, copvcia.com, and asked Moore's opinion of him. "I've read his website. He's asking some good and scary questions. Much scarier than mine. We should all be asking these questions." Moore pointed out that the put options placed on United and American Airlines stock right before 9.11 were suspicious.
Slackers Unite! Rise up and do something!
Excerpt from another portland indymedia article covering Moore's lecture:
I was pleased to hear him tell, what felt to me like a mostly rapacious audience, that we need to be questioning why 9.11 happened. He said that he has a few potent questions to ask the administration: what about the oil pipeline in the Caspian Sea, Enron, the Bin laden family financial support of the Bush’s, the jet escort of Bin laden family members out of the country a few days post 9.11, etc, etc. With these hard-hitting questions, that many people do not want to hear, do not want to think about (as per evidenced with those who think that the other Mike (Ruppert) is a conspiracy theorist) came some uneasy energy in the room with a few people quietly getting out of their seats and heading for the nearest exit. Yup, lots of people don’t want to hear it. I think that these people came for an afternoon of entertainment, and were disappointed when Moore started speaking of such things.
We need more Mikes, more individuals who are willing to step up to the plate and ask questions, questions that challenge the current outmoded myth that the media has been spoon feeding us re 9.11. A lot of people don’t want to hear it, don’t want to talk about it. I myself was told to quit dredging up history, and to let those poor victims of 9.11 rest in peace when I first started questioning the events surrounding 9.11. This is what I am attempting to do, to let all of those who die in the name of greed, to one day, rest in peace. The only way to do this is to know our history so that we do not repeat it but instead learn from it, but first we must know what really happened and why it happened. I am not content to "let sleeping dogs lie" or to swallow the media myth. None of us should be.

ACTION ALERT: McKinney speaks to roaring crowd of 100,000 in DC last
Saturday!! NEW ATTACKS ON U.S. REP. MCKINNEY -- BELOW IS A “BRAND NEW
ACTION KIT” enabling you to very easily be empowered to help!!
We spent many many hours researching the below action and contacts so that
your activism can be easy and painless. PLEASE USE THIS RESOURCE WELL.
We spent many many hours researching the below action and contacts so that
your activism can be easy and painless. PLEASE USE THIS RESOURCE WELL.
Go to the Truthout.com poll to vote of whether you believe there should be a
full investigation into when the U.S. Govt. knew of the 9-11 attacks:
Rep. McKinney’s heroic efforts for the truth of 9-11, and world peace &
justice, are bringing EXCRUCIATING ATTACKS upon her, not seen since Dr.
Martin Luther King spoke out against the Vietnam War. Last Saturday she
spoke to 100,000 people at the March on Washington for Peace & Justice.
They will turn the heat up on her. Below are quick, easy, and powerful ways
you can help her today, and pass on to empower others to help her today.
The ferocity of the attacks on U.S. Rep. McKinney may be the best indicator
of how nervous the administration is with her demands for a 9-11 Inquiry.
Dem. Whip Nancy Pelosi had earlier called for an inquiry into what the
intelligence dept.s knew of Bin Laden and Al Queda before 9-11, and she had
been attacked as well. But McKinney’s directed inquiry at Bush unleashed
hell upon her. [Bush & Cheney both urged Daschle to “limit” 9-11 inquiries.
Hmmm.]
DO NOT BE OVERWHELMED WITH THE BELOW KIT . . . small actions are much better
than no actions. First simply send this kit out to as many others as you
can, THEN go back and use this kit as often as you can. It will empower you
in easy steps to do powerful acts. At this critical point in history
Congresswoman McKinney has become a voice for us all WORLDWIDE.
ACTION STEPS. Here are EASY/POWERFUL ways you can help:
1) Urge Michael Moore (America’s #1 best selling author of “Stupid White
Men,” to do a fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney – Michael’s email
contacts are:
(PLEASE ONLY use these to urge him to do a fundraiser(S) for McKinney,
otherwise our plea is lost in the noise.)
2) Contact all Georgia state officials and urge them to stand by Georgia
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (no, you don’t have to be from Georgia,
EVERYONE in the world seeking peace and justice should do this. The Georgia
officials contact list is below action item #7.)
3) Contact Richard Gephardt and Nancy Pelosi, to urge them to stand by
Congresswoman McKinney. Remind them of how House Democratic Whip Pelosi was
attacked by Rep. Ray LaHood of Illinois who said, "Your amendment wants to
point the finger. It's the 'blame game' amendment. It's a slap in the face
at the intelligence community." Remind Gephardt and Pelosi that this
accusation at Pelosi has been amped up into a thermo-nuclear attack on
Congresswoman McKinney, and IT IS HIGH TIME DEMOCRATS BEGAN TO STAND UP FOR
THEIR OWN, RATHER THAN ABANDONING THEM AND KOW TOWING TO RIGHTWING BULLYING.
Gephardt can be contacted at:
(314) 894-3400 / (636) 937-6399 / (202) 225-2671
Pelosi can be contacted at:
4) Urge every network, activist group, and person you know to send McKinney
thanks, and donations (we have raised $10,000.00 in $10 & $20 donations for
her so far – BUT MUCH MORE IS NEEDED. We can send a message to Congress and
to the world that those who love peace and justice WILL STAND BY those who
speak the truth. (A list of several hundred activist discussion groups is
provided below. We spent months collecting these so you can join them in a
few seconds, and urging the activists in those groups to make the support of
Congresswoman McKinney their MAIN priority in coming months).
DONATIONS AND THANKS CAN BE SENT TO CONGRESSWOMAN MCKINNEY AT:
U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney
PO Box 371125
DeCatur, GA 30037
5) Contact ALL the Democrats in the U.S. Congress and DEMAND that they stand
by McKinney. (email and fax contacts for all House and Senate Democrats is
provided below. Again, we’ve worked to gather this info so you don’t have
to, please take the time to use it. Just send out the message, please, and
urge everyone you can to do the same.)
6) Continue posting the appeal for ALL ACTIVISTS to dedicate themselves to
supporting U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney and her work to demand inquiry into
9-11 – BY POSTING THIS REQUEST REGULARLY ON ALL INDYMEDIA.ORG SITES
WORLDWIDE, ON MICHAEL MOORE’S WEBSITE, ON BLACK ENTERTAINMENT’S BET WEBSITE,
and on others you think of.
7) Re-Contact ALL Democrats in Congress and let them know nearly 50% of
Americans agree with Cynthia McKinney’s concern of Bush Admin. PRE-knowledge
of 9-11 attacks (Atlanta Journal Constitution Poll of April 13th). The
Congressional Democrats email and fax numbers are below the “Activist
Discussion Group” contact emails. URGE ALL OF THEM TO STAND BY U.S. REP.
CYNTHIA MCKINNEY!!
CONTACT THE BELOW GEORGIA STATE OFFICIALS AND DEMAND THEY STAND BEHIND U.S.
CONGRESSWOMAN CYNTHIA MCKINNEY IN HER (OUR) TIME OF NEED: [Urge ALL you know
to contact them with this message as well.]
lieutenant governor address:
On the below Activist Discussion Groups. “WE ARE THE PAUL REVERES OF OUR
TIME. THE INTERNET IS THE HORSE WE RIDE, CARRY AN APPEAL FOR SUPPORT FOR
MCKINNEY & 9-11 INVESTIGATIONS TO THESE LISTS BELOW.” Every house Paul
Revere called to didn’t have ears to hear, and some in these groups won’t
(yet), so simply tell them and move on.
HOW TO USE THEM? All you need to do is send an email to each one requesting
to join. Then you’ll get an email response with simple instructions on how
to complete it. THE WHOLE THING TAKES A FEW SECONDS. Then you can post
messages to the group. [NOTE: You may want to set up a free hotmail account
for activism, and also DO NOT spend a lot of time trying to argue with or
convince people, our job is to ALERT, not to convince. There are millions
who already agree with you and only need the information and to get linked
with the movement.]
IT IS CRITICAL that we ONLY use the below on the issue of 9-11 facts, and
the support of Congresswoman McKinney as a hero in bringing those facts out.
*********************************************************************
THE MESSAGE TO GET OUT: (the discussion groups to send it to are below).
U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney has become a hero for people worldwide concerned
with truth, peace, and justice, and last weekend spoke to 100,000 AT THE
MARCH ON WASHINGTON! SHE NOW NEEDS “OUR” HELP! THE VISCIOUS ATTACKS ON
HER ARE INCREASING!!
Every progressive issue has been placed in the back of the bus since 9-11
(and this has happened WORLDWIDE). A full inquiry into this greatest
terrorist event in our history should go without saying. However, due to
the obstruction of Bush and Cheney, the Senate’s inquiries will be very
limited. It is time to wake up on this!! McKinney is a voice for the
entire world.
HELP A BRAVE U.S. CONGRESSWOMAN STRUGGLING IN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST -DC.
IT IS CRITICAL!! U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney’s recent media
lynching/character assassination by the corporate media indicates just how
nervous the powers that be are about her demanding to know what Bush knew,
and when he knew it about the 9-11 attacks. Which is also why both Bush and
Cheney urged Daschle to “limit” the 9-11 inquiry in the Senate.
9-11 was at the core of our loss of civil liberties, and bloated defense and
intelligence budget, wars worldwide, and an attack on the environment.
Because of 9-11, ALL progressive issues have moved to the back of the bus
for the duration of the “war on terrorism,” a war Cheney says may go on
forever. Evidence indicates Bush had pre-knowledge of 9-11 and allowed it
to happen. When you see the way he’s used it to ram a reactionary rightwing
agenda down America’s throat . . . it’s no wonder why he did let 9-11 occur.
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has had the guts to take the fore on
demanding a 9-11 inquiry. Something the media and Congress should’ve done.
She is also taking the lead on demanding an inquiry into where the $2.3
trillion the Pentagon “lost” has gone too. For her courage she has been the
victim of the most vicious character assassination campaign, since Dr.
Martin Luther King spoke out against the Vietnam War. The demand for a 9-11
inquiry is THE ISSUE OF OUR TIME, AND CONGRESSWOMAN MCKINNEY IS THE HERO OF
OUR TIME.
Please urge all you know to demand inquiry into 9-11 and support
Congresswoman McKinney. Email
ways you can get involved, by just putting in a little bit of time on the
internet. Also, urge all you know to send McKinney a donation. If the
progressive community stands behind her, it will send a message to other
Congresspeople that it is safe to stand up for the truth. Donations go to:

**********************************************************
MESSAGE FOR DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS (Their email/fax contacts are below):
U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is a hero for standing up for the
concerns of millions of Americans. A recent Atlanta Journal Constitution
poll showed that nearly 50% of Americans believe that Bush had
“PRE-knowledge” of 9-11 terror, and let it happen.”
Do we not deserve a voice in Congress? Please do what is right and stand by
Rep. McKinney in this dark hour when dissent in this country is met with
media lynching and despicable character assassination. Let this be the
point in history where Democrats finally defended the right of dissent, and
the need for inquiry into 9—11, how it happened, what Bush knew, and when he
knew it.
Full length documentaries on this are showing in Europe and Canada. Why
must America be “protected” from a wide discussion of what went wrong on and
before 9-11? The answer is “we don’t” and it is your duty to ask questions.
History will look very poorly on timidity by the opposition party, because
in this age of information the truth is out, and it will be known by all in
a matter of months.
Thank you in advance for doing what is right and standing by your fellow
Congressperson U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA).
God bless.
p.s. Why do the Republicans get to launch full scale attacks on Democrats
for asking questions, but Democrats remain mum when Republicans do the below
outrageously suspicious acts?
Lott Retaliates for Pickering Loss
Judiciary Panel's Funding, Daschle Nominee Targeted
By Helen Dewar
Saturday, March 16, 2002
Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) yesterday blocked a $1.5
million request from the Judiciary Committee for its post-Sept. 11 oversight
operations as part of a retaliatory strike against Democrats for killing the
judicial nomination of a fellow Mississippian.
January 29, 2002 Posted: 9:26 PM EST (0226 GMT)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush personally asked Senate Majority Leader
Tom Daschle Tuesday to limit the congressional investigation into the events
of September 11, congressional and White House sources told CNN. The request
was made at a private meeting with congressional leaders Tuesday morning.
Sources said Bush initiated the conversation.

ACTION ALERT: McKinney speaks to roaring crowd of 100,000 in DC last
Saturday!! NEW ATTACKS ON U.S. REP. MCKINNEY -- BELOW IS A “BRAND NEW
ACTION KIT” enabling you to very easily be empowered to help!!
We spent many many hours researching the below action and contacts so that
your activism can be easy and painless. PLEASE USE THIS RESOURCE WELL.
We spent many many hours researching the below action and contacts so that
your activism can be easy and painless. PLEASE USE THIS RESOURCE WELL.
Go to the Truthout.com poll to vote of whether you believe there should be a
full investigation into when the U.S. Govt. knew of the 9-11 attacks:
Rep. McKinney’s heroic efforts for the truth of 9-11, and world peace &
justice, are bringing EXCRUCIATING ATTACKS upon her, not seen since Dr.
Martin Luther King spoke out against the Vietnam War. Last Saturday she
spoke to 100,000 people at the March on Washington for Peace & Justice.
They will turn the heat up on her. Below are quick, easy, and powerful ways
you can help her today, and pass on to empower others to help her today.
The ferocity of the attacks on U.S. Rep. McKinney may be the best indicator
of how nervous the administration is with her demands for a 9-11 Inquiry.
Dem. Whip Nancy Pelosi had earlier called for an inquiry into what the
intelligence dept.s knew of Bin Laden and Al Queda before 9-11, and she had
been attacked as well. But McKinney’s directed inquiry at Bush unleashed
hell upon her. [Bush & Cheney both urged Daschle to “limit” 9-11 inquiries.
Hmmm.]
DO NOT BE OVERWHELMED WITH THE BELOW KIT . . . small actions are much better
than no actions. First simply send this kit out to as many others as you
can, THEN go back and use this kit as often as you can. It will empower you
in easy steps to do powerful acts. At this critical point in history
Congresswoman McKinney has become a voice for us all WORLDWIDE.
ACTION STEPS. Here are EASY/POWERFUL ways you can help:
1) Urge Michael Moore (America’s #1 best selling author of “Stupid White
Men,” to do a fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney – Michael’s email
contacts are:
(PLEASE ONLY use these to urge him to do a fundraiser(S) for McKinney,
otherwise our plea is lost in the noise.)
2) Contact all Georgia state officials and urge them to stand by Georgia
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (no, you don’t have to be from Georgia,
EVERYONE in the world seeking peace and justice should do this. The Georgia
officials contact list is below action item #7.)
3) Contact Richard Gephardt and Nancy Pelosi, to urge them to stand by
Congresswoman McKinney. Remind them of how House Democratic Whip Pelosi was
attacked by Rep. Ray LaHood of Illinois who said, "Your amendment wants to
point the finger. It's the 'blame game' amendment. It's a slap in the face
at the intelligence community." Remind Gephardt and Pelosi that this
accusation at Pelosi has been amped up into a thermo-nuclear attack on
Congresswoman McKinney, and IT IS HIGH TIME DEMOCRATS BEGAN TO STAND UP FOR
THEIR OWN, RATHER THAN ABANDONING THEM AND KOW TOWING TO RIGHTWING BULLYING.
Gephardt can be contacted at:
(314) 894-3400 / (636) 937-6399 / (202) 225-2671
Pelosi can be contacted at:
4) Urge every network, activist group, and person you know to send McKinney
thanks, and donations (we have raised $10,000.00 in $10 & $20 donations for
her so far – BUT MUCH MORE IS NEEDED. We can send a message to Congress and
to the world that those who love peace and justice WILL STAND BY those who
speak the truth. (A list of several hundred activist discussion groups is
provided below. We spent months collecting these so you can join them in a
few seconds, and urging the activists in those groups to make the support of
Congresswoman McKinney their MAIN priority in coming months).
DONATIONS AND THANKS CAN BE SENT TO CONGRESSWOMAN MCKINNEY AT:
U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney
PO Box 371125
DeCatur, GA 30037
5) Contact ALL the Democrats in the U.S. Congress and DEMAND that they stand
by McKinney. (email and fax contacts for all House and Senate Democrats is
provided below. Again, we’ve worked to gather this info so you don’t have
to, please take the time to use it. Just send out the message, please, and
urge everyone you can to do the same.)
6) Continue posting the appeal for ALL ACTIVISTS to dedicate themselves to
supporting U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney and her work to demand inquiry into
9-11 – BY POSTING THIS REQUEST REGULARLY ON ALL INDYMEDIA.ORG SITES
WORLDWIDE, ON MICHAEL MOORE’S WEBSITE, ON BLACK ENTERTAINMENT’S BET WEBSITE,
and on others you think of.
7) Re-Contact ALL Democrats in Congress and let them know nearly 50% of
Americans agree with Cynthia McKinney’s concern of Bush Admin. PRE-knowledge
of 9-11 attacks (Atlanta Journal Constitution Poll of April 13th). The
Congressional Democrats email and fax numbers are below the “Activist
Discussion Group” contact emails. URGE ALL OF THEM TO STAND BY U.S. REP.
CYNTHIA MCKINNEY!!
CONTACT THE BELOW GEORGIA STATE OFFICIALS AND DEMAND THEY STAND BEHIND U.S.
CONGRESSWOMAN CYNTHIA MCKINNEY IN HER (OUR) TIME OF NEED: [Urge ALL you know
to contact them with this message as well.]
lieutenant governor address:
On the below Activist Discussion Groups. “WE ARE THE PAUL REVERES OF OUR
TIME. THE INTERNET IS THE HORSE WE RIDE, CARRY AN APPEAL FOR SUPPORT FOR
MCKINNEY & 9-11 INVESTIGATIONS TO THESE LISTS BELOW.” Every house Paul
Revere called to didn’t have ears to hear, and some in these groups won’t
(yet), so simply tell them and move on.
HOW TO USE THEM? All you need to do is send an email to each one requesting
to join. Then you’ll get an email response with simple instructions on how
to complete it. THE WHOLE THING TAKES A FEW SECONDS. Then you can post
messages to the group. [NOTE: You may want to set up a free hotmail account
for activism, and also DO NOT spend a lot of time trying to argue with or
convince people, our job is to ALERT, not to convince. There are millions
who already agree with you and only need the information and to get linked
with the movement.]
IT IS CRITICAL that we ONLY use the below on the issue of 9-11 facts, and
the support of Congresswoman McKinney as a hero in bringing those facts out.
*********************************************************************
THE MESSAGE TO GET OUT: (the discussion groups to send it to are below).
U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney has become a hero for people worldwide concerned
with truth, peace, and justice, and last weekend spoke to 100,000 AT THE
MARCH ON WASHINGTON! SHE NOW NEEDS “OUR” HELP! THE VISCIOUS ATTACKS ON
HER ARE INCREASING!!
Every progressive issue has been placed in the back of the bus since 9-11
(and this has happened WORLDWIDE). A full inquiry into this greatest
terrorist event in our history should go without saying. However, due to
the obstruction of Bush and Cheney, the Senate’s inquiries will be very
limited. It is time to wake up on this!! McKinney is a voice for the
entire world.
HELP A BRAVE U.S. CONGRESSWOMAN STRUGGLING IN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST -DC.
IT IS CRITICAL!! U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney’s recent media
lynching/character assassination by the corporate media indicates just how
nervous the powers that be are about her demanding to know what Bush knew,
and when he knew it about the 9-11 attacks. Which is also why both Bush and
Cheney urged Daschle to “limit” the 9-11 inquiry in the Senate.
9-11 was at the core of our loss of civil liberties, and bloated defense and
intelligence budget, wars worldwide, and an attack on the environment.
Because of 9-11, ALL progressive issues have moved to the back of the bus
for the duration of the “war on terrorism,” a war Cheney says may go on
forever. Evidence indicates Bush had pre-knowledge of 9-11 and allowed it
to happen. When you see the way he’s used it to ram a reactionary rightwing
agenda down America’s throat . . . it’s no wonder why he did let 9-11 occur.
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has had the guts to take the fore on
demanding a 9-11 inquiry. Something the media and Congress should’ve done.
She is also taking the lead on demanding an inquiry into where the $2.3
trillion the Pentagon “lost” has gone too. For her courage she has been the
victim of the most vicious character assassination campaign, since Dr.
Martin Luther King spoke out against the Vietnam War. The demand for a 9-11
inquiry is THE ISSUE OF OUR TIME, AND CONGRESSWOMAN MCKINNEY IS THE HERO OF
OUR TIME.
Please urge all you know to demand inquiry into 9-11 and support
Congresswoman McKinney. Email
ways you can get involved, by just putting in a little bit of time on the
internet. Also, urge all you know to send McKinney a donation. If the
progressive community stands behind her, it will send a message to other
Congresspeople that it is safe to stand up for the truth. Donations go to:

**********************************************************
MESSAGE FOR DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS (Their email/fax contacts are below):
U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is a hero for standing up for the
concerns of millions of Americans. A recent Atlanta Journal Constitution
poll showed that nearly 50% of Americans believe that Bush had
“PRE-knowledge” of 9-11 terror, and let it happen.”
Do we not deserve a voice in Congress? Please do what is right and stand by
Rep. McKinney in this dark hour when dissent in this country is met with
media lynching and despicable character assassination. Let this be the
point in history where Democrats finally defended the right of dissent, and
the need for inquiry into 9—11, how it happened, what Bush knew, and when he
knew it.
Full length documentaries on this are showing in Europe and Canada. Why
must America be “protected” from a wide discussion of what went wrong on and
before 9-11? The answer is “we don’t” and it is your duty to ask questions.
History will look very poorly on timidity by the opposition party, because
in this age of information the truth is out, and it will be known by all in
a matter of months.
Thank you in advance for doing what is right and standing by your fellow
Congressperson U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA).
God bless.
p.s. Why do the Republicans get to launch full scale attacks on Democrats
for asking questions, but Democrats remain mum when Republicans do the below
outrageously suspicious acts?
Lott Retaliates for Pickering Loss
Judiciary Panel's Funding, Daschle Nominee Targeted
By Helen Dewar
Saturday, March 16, 2002
Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) yesterday blocked a $1.5
million request from the Judiciary Committee for its post-Sept. 11 oversight
operations as part of a retaliatory strike against Democrats for killing the
judicial nomination of a fellow Mississippian.
January 29, 2002 Posted: 9:26 PM EST (0226 GMT)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush personally asked Senate Majority Leader
Tom Daschle Tuesday to limit the congressional investigation into the events
of September 11, congressional and White House sources told CNN. The request
was made at a private meeting with congressional leaders Tuesday morning.
Sources said Bush initiated the conversation.

ACTION ALERT: McKinney speaks to roaring crowd of 100,000 in DC last
Saturday!! NEW ATTACKS ON U.S. REP. MCKINNEY -- BELOW IS A “BRAND NEW

We spent many many hours researching the below action and contacts so that
your activism can be easy and painless. PLEASE USE THIS RESOURCE WELL.
Go to the Truthout.com poll to vote of whether you believe there should be a
full investigation into when the U.S. Govt. knew of the 9-11 attacks:
Rep. McKinney’s heroic efforts for the truth of 9-11, and world peace &
justice, are bringing EXCRUCIATING ATTACKS upon her, not seen since Dr.
Martin Luther King spoke out against the Vietnam War. Last Saturday she
spoke to 100,000 people at the March on Washington for Peace & Justice.
They will turn the heat up on her. Below are quick, easy, and powerful ways
you can help her today, and pass on to empower others to help her today.
The ferocity of the attacks on U.S. Rep. McKinney may be the best indicator
of how nervous the administration is with her demands for a 9-11 Inquiry.
Dem. Whip Nancy Pelosi had earlier called for an inquiry into what the
intelligence dept.s knew of Bin Laden and Al Queda before 9-11, and she had
been attacked as well. But McKinney’s directed inquiry at Bush unleashed
hell upon her. [Bush & Cheney both urged Daschle to “limit” 9-11 inquiries.
Hmmm.]
DO NOT BE OVERWHELMED WITH THE BELOW KIT . . . small actions are much better
than no actions. First simply send this kit out to as many others as you
can, THEN go back and use this kit as often as you can. It will empower you
in easy steps to do powerful acts. At this critical point in history
Congresswoman McKinney has become a voice for us all WORLDWIDE.
ACTION STEPS. Here are EASY/POWERFUL ways you can help:
1) Urge Michael Moore (America’s #1 best selling author of “Stupid White
Men,” to do a fundraiser for U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney – Michael’s email
contacts are:
(PLEASE ONLY use these to urge him to do a fundraiser(S) for McKinney,
otherwise our plea is lost in the noise.)
2) Contact all Georgia state officials and urge them to stand by Georgia
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney (no, you don’t have to be from Georgia,
EVERYONE in the world seeking peace and justice should do this. The Georgia
officials contact list is below action item #7.)
3) Contact Richard Gephardt and Nancy Pelosi, to urge them to stand by
Congresswoman McKinney. Remind them of how House Democratic Whip Pelosi was
attacked by Rep. Ray LaHood of Illinois who said, "Your amendment wants to
point the finger. It's the 'blame game' amendment. It's a slap in the face
at the intelligence community." Remind Gephardt and Pelosi that this
accusation at Pelosi has been amped up into a thermo-nuclear attack on
Congresswoman McKinney, and IT IS HIGH TIME DEMOCRATS BEGAN TO STAND UP FOR
THEIR OWN, RATHER THAN ABANDONING THEM AND KOW TOWING TO RIGHTWING BULLYING.
Gephardt can be contacted at:
(314) 894-3400 / (636) 937-6399 / (202) 225-2671
Pelosi can be contacted at:
4) Urge every network, activist group, and person you know to send McKinney
thanks, and donations (we have raised $10,000.00 in $10 & $20 donations for
her so far – BUT MUCH MORE IS NEEDED. We can send a message to Congress and
to the world that those who love peace and justice WILL STAND BY those who
speak the truth. (A list of several hundred activist discussion groups is
provided below. We spent months collecting these so you can join them in a
few seconds, and urging the activists in those groups to make the support of
Congresswoman McKinney their MAIN priority in coming months).
DONATIONS AND THANKS CAN BE SENT TO CONGRESSWOMAN MCKINNEY AT:
U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney
PO Box 371125
DeCatur, GA 30037
5) Contact ALL the Democrats in the U.S. Congress and DEMAND that they stand
by McKinney. (email and fax contacts for all House and Senate Democrats is
provided below. Again, we’ve worked to gather this info so you don’t have
to, please take the time to use it. Just send out the message, please, and
urge everyone you can to do the same.)
6) Continue posting the appeal for ALL ACTIVISTS to dedicate themselves to
supporting U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney and her work to demand inquiry into
9-11 – BY POSTING THIS REQUEST REGULARLY ON ALL INDYMEDIA.ORG SITES
WORLDWIDE, ON MICHAEL MOORE’S WEBSITE, ON BLACK ENTERTAINMENT’S BET WEBSITE,
and on others you think of.
7) Re-Contact ALL Democrats in Congress and let them know nearly 50% of
Americans agree with Cynthia McKinney’s concern of Bush Admin. PRE-knowledge
of 9-11 attacks (Atlanta Journal Constitution Poll of April 13th). The
Congressional Democrats email and fax numbers are below the “Activist
Discussion Group” contact emails. URGE ALL OF THEM TO STAND BY U.S. REP.
CYNTHIA MCKINNEY!!
CONTACT THE BELOW GEORGIA STATE OFFICIALS AND DEMAND THEY STAND BEHIND U.S.
CONGRESSWOMAN CYNTHIA MCKINNEY IN HER (OUR) TIME OF NEED: [Urge ALL you know
to contact them with this message as well.]
lieutenant governor address:
On the below Activist Discussion Groups. “WE ARE THE PAUL REVERES OF OUR
TIME. THE INTERNET IS THE HORSE WE RIDE, CARRY AN APPEAL FOR SUPPORT FOR
MCKINNEY & 9-11 INVESTIGATIONS TO THESE LISTS BELOW.” Every house Paul
Revere called to didn’t have ears to hear, and some in these groups won’t
(yet), so simply tell them and move on.
HOW TO USE THEM? All you need to do is send an email to each one requesting
to join. Then you’ll get an email response with simple instructions on how
to complete it. THE WHOLE THING TAKES A FEW SECONDS. Then you can post
messages to the group. [NOTE: You may want to set up a free hotmail account
for activism, and also DO NOT spend a lot of time trying to argue with or
convince people, our job is to ALERT, not to convince. There are millions
who already agree with you and only need the information and to get linked
with the movement.]
IT IS CRITICAL that we ONLY use the below on the issue of 9-11 facts, and
the support of Congresswoman McKinney as a hero in bringing those facts out.
*********************************************************************
THE MESSAGE TO GET OUT: (the discussion groups to send it to are below).
U.S. Rep. Cynthia McKinney has become a hero for people worldwide concerned
with truth, peace, and justice, and last weekend spoke to 100,000 AT THE
MARCH ON WASHINGTON! SHE NOW NEEDS “OUR” HELP! THE VISCIOUS ATTACKS ON
HER ARE INCREASING!!
Every progressive issue has been placed in the back of the bus since 9-11
(and this has happened WORLDWIDE). A full inquiry into this greatest
terrorist event in our history should go without saying. However, due to
the obstruction of Bush and Cheney, the Senate’s inquiries will be very
limited. It is time to wake up on this!! McKinney is a voice for the
entire world.
HELP A BRAVE U.S. CONGRESSWOMAN STRUGGLING IN THE BELLY OF THE BEAST -DC.
IT IS CRITICAL!! U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney’s recent media
lynching/character assassination by the corporate media indicates just how
nervous the powers that be are about her demanding to know what Bush knew,
and when he knew it about the 9-11 attacks. Which is also why both Bush and
Cheney urged Daschle to “limit” the 9-11 inquiry in the Senate.
9-11 was at the core of our loss of civil liberties, and bloated defense and
intelligence budget, wars worldwide, and an attack on the environment.
Because of 9-11, ALL progressive issues have moved to the back of the bus
for the duration of the “war on terrorism,” a war Cheney says may go on
forever. Evidence indicates Bush had pre-knowledge of 9-11 and allowed it
to happen. When you see the way he’s used it to ram a reactionary rightwing
agenda down America’s throat . . . it’s no wonder why he did let 9-11 occur.
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has had the guts to take the fore on
demanding a 9-11 inquiry. Something the media and Congress should’ve done.
She is also taking the lead on demanding an inquiry into where the $2.3
trillion the Pentagon “lost” has gone too. For her courage she has been the
victim of the most vicious character assassination campaign, since Dr.
Martin Luther King spoke out against the Vietnam War. The demand for a 9-11
inquiry is THE ISSUE OF OUR TIME, AND CONGRESSWOMAN MCKINNEY IS THE HERO OF
OUR TIME.
Please urge all you know to demand inquiry into 9-11 and support
Congresswoman McKinney. Email
ways you can get involved, by just putting in a little bit of time on the
internet. Also, urge all you know to send McKinney a donation. If the
progressive community stands behind her, it will send a message to other
Congresspeople that it is safe to stand up for the truth. Donations go to:
U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney
PO Box 371125
DeCatur, GA 30037

**********************************************************
MESSAGE FOR DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS (Their email/fax contacts are below):
U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney is a hero for standing up for the
concerns of millions of Americans. A recent Atlanta Journal Constitution
poll showed that nearly 50% of Americans believe that Bush had
“PRE-knowledge” of 9-11 terror, and let it happen.”
Do we not deserve a voice in Congress? Please do what is right and stand by
Rep. McKinney in this dark hour when dissent in this country is met with
media lynching and despicable character assassination. Let this be the
point in history where Democrats finally defended the right of dissent, and
the need for inquiry into 9—11, how it happened, what Bush knew, and when he
knew it.
Full length documentaries on this are showing in Europe and Canada. Why
must America be “protected” from a wide discussion of what went wrong on and
before 9-11? The answer is “we don’t” and it is your duty to ask questions.
History will look very poorly on timidity by the opposition party, because
in this age of information the truth is out, and it will be known by all in
a matter of months.
Thank you in advance for doing what is right and standing by your fellow
Congressperson U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA).
God bless.
p.s. Why do the Republicans get to launch full scale attacks on Democrats
for asking questions, but Democrats remain mum when Republicans do the below
outrageously suspicious acts?
Lott Retaliates for Pickering Loss
Judiciary Panel's Funding, Daschle Nominee Targeted
By Helen Dewar
Saturday, March 16, 2002
Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.) yesterday blocked a $1.5
million request from the Judiciary Committee for its post-Sept. 11 oversight
operations as part of a retaliatory strike against Democrats for killing the
judicial nomination of a fellow Mississippian.
January 29, 2002 Posted: 9:26 PM EST (0226 GMT)
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush personally asked Senate Majority Leader
Tom Daschle Tuesday to limit the congressional investigation into the events
of September 11, congressional and White House sources told CNN. The request
was made at a private meeting with congressional leaders Tuesday morning.
Sources said Bush initiated the conversation.
