Citizens Counter-Coup, The Formula For Change Now

Tuesday April 11th marked 4 years 7 months since the events of 9/11. There are a few major news items in the last month that underscore the need for building a mass grassroots movement to expose the truth behind the attacks.

The trial of Zacarias Moussaoui has taken on bizarre dimensions of what has become more of a propaganda circus while missing the core issue. The government is basically attempting to make this one person wholly to blame for 9/11. The prosecution's inclusion of the flight recorder tapes from Flight 93, which have questionable validity after being kept secret for so long, is an inexplicable development. Flight 93 had zero to do with this case. The strategy is to employ the "drama and trauma factor" to sway the jury into choosing the death penalty so the government can say they obtained justice for the American people. Isn't it interesting that they chose the Flight 93 drama just before the release of the movie? Why not sensationalize the trial with details from the Pentagon or the towers? Meanwhile, the real story of FBI obstruction of attempts by field agents Colleen Rowley and Harry Samit to have Moussaoui investigated has been completely glossed over. You would think a flurry of mainstream articles on this point would open a gaping hole in the government story and result in a special investigation into the FBI. Instead, we're witnessing more deafening silence from the Left and the usual claims of "bureaucratic bungling" from the main stream.

It has now been determined that the death of officer James Zadroga, age 34, was definitely due to the contaminated conditions at Ground Zero. The official lie regarding the air quality which has sickened over 16,000 workers, according to records kept at Mt. Sinai Hospital, is now showing up as the scandal it really is. All Americans should recognize the government's false claims as an indication of just how much our leadership values human life.

We've witnessed another appalling scandal from the Bush administration. It has been revealed that Scooter Libby has named George Bush himself as the source who authorized identifying Valerie Plame as a CIA agent. At first Bush said he'd fire whoever was caught taking part in this "serious" leak that outed a covert operative and endangered many associated with her operations. Now we're told it was a necessary leak intended to clarify information about pre-war intelligence and Bush had planned to de-classify the information so he's off the hook. He's the president so he's blameless. The lesson is, if this travesty on top of all the others isn't enough to bring about impeachment and indictments, nothing will, except the truth of 9/11. This remains our challenge.

Wed. April 19th marks the 11th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, another state-sponsored act of terrorism. (See http://www.okcbombing.org/). Several investigators including Charles Key and Chris Emery have amassed a large body of evidence of government complicity. Yet the truth remains concealed to mass consciousness. We should note that the first anti-terror legislation was passed a few months after the bombing, under the Clinton Administration. This is just one indication of the power of the state "information control" apparatus. All the more reason why we must work to speak truth to power and demand accountability and justice for 9/11 while the PNAC perpetrators and official cover-up artists are present in the national view.

How can the message of 9/11 truth rise up and spread out across the land? Be part of the monthly action campaign, Citizens Counter-Coup, designed to inform elected officials and media on the overwhelming evidence of government complicity and deliver a call to action. This "virtual action generator" has the potential to grow exponentially, creating mass awareness and effective change. This is the tool that can make the difference. If you're already s signed up for monthly reminders, please take action this week.

If you're new to the campaign, please go to http://3c.911truth.org, take 10 minutes to read through the information, then take 15 minutes to participate in the monthly action. Also, be sure to sign up for the monthly reminders where you can also volunteer for media outreach, e-Activisim through our Blogger Brigade, and 9/11 journalism. The Blogger Brigade is already in action and others soon to be mobilized. Together we can build a wider movement to distribute the work that must be done. Either we set the agenda or the military/industrial/intelligence complex will continue to set it for us. The choice is clear. The truth of 9/11 is up to us to reveal!

Lastly, we have a major national conference scheduled for June 2-4 in Chicago called 9/11: Revealing the Truth, Reclaiming Our Future. Many luminaries from the movement will be there giving presentations of educational and strategic value. This will be an invaluable opportunity for activists to gather and mobilize for the next phase of outreach to create mass awareness of the true crimes of 9/11 and finally demand true accountability for the perpetrators. Go to www.911truth.org/ChicagoConference.htm to see full description, hotel info, etc. If you register by May 1st, the cost is $40. You'll also see a link to a section for ride and room sharing. Pass it on!

Go to http://3c.911truth.org today. Remember, it's not a democracy unless we make it so.
