9-11 ACTION: Time to Hit the Streets!! Here’s how... Current rating: 0
27 May 2002
Good news, if this can work in _Kansas City_ ... Spread the word!
9-11 ACTION: Time to Hit the Streets!! Here’s how . . .

I did a little experiment this memorial day weekend. I made a red-white-and
blue poster board sign that said simply and clearly this,

“Bush is LYING about 9-11 !!”
(All in blue on a white sign, except LYING was in bright red.)

Then I stood out in the Kansas City city center area and held it up at the
passing traffic. I expected to get “the finger” about every 2 minutes. BUT
GUESS WHAT. In 3 hours I was only flipped off ONCE. 90% of the those who
acknowledged me were cheering and honking and saying, “I knew it all along.”

IT IS TIME TO HIT THE STREETS. ALL YOU NEED IS A NICE SUNDAY AFTERNOON, A
POSTER BOARD, AND A BLUE AND RED MAGIC MARKER. I know it’s nerve wracking
to go out and do this by yourself, but hey, freedom is not won by being
timid and safe all the time.

The mass public is teetering on a pinnacle right now, they only need a small
push to shift the momentum. Don’t waste time trying to organize BIG
RALLIES. Just make the sign and find the busyiest corner in your city to
stand on. Also, stand across the street from black churches when they let
out on Sunday (with small papers with your email address on them. See
below).


There are a couple of myths that need dispelling.

MYTH #1) I have to have a big crowd, or organized protest to make a
difference.

Actually, people find one solitary individual on a corner less threatening,
and in a way a very powerful statement of commitment and courage. (Be
friendly and cordial, and when people disagree, act like they are giving you
signs of support, then others will do so as well.)

MYTH #2) Only bohemian college students will agree with me.

Actually, most of my support from passing cars was from middle American
middle age people, but it crossed all boundaries and all races. Rednecks in
pickups, and soccer moms in SUV’s gave me thumbs up and peace signs. Old
grandpas and grandmas in Lincoln Town Cars gave me words of support. Even
tough guys in SUV’s with American flags flying off the back told me, “I knew
he was lying.”


BANTER:
When passersby talk to you, you need to talk in quick sound bytes. When
asked, “What is he lying about?” My response was.

“Bush let 9-11 happen so he could invade Afghanistan and get the oil north
of it. This is coming out in European and Canadian media but is heavily
censored here. When this all comes out Bush may be up on treason charges.
Call your Congressman and demand Bush be investigated about 9-11, and
whether he “let” it happen. Tell your friends to do the same.”

You might also create an email address like for example
findtruthnow (at) yahoo.com or findtruthnow (at) excite.com or
findtruthnow100 (at) yahoo.com where they can email you to get the full story.
Then you can email them the many comprehensive analysis on the web and get
them to get on the lists for truthout.org and copvcia.com etc.


FOR YOUR INFORMATION. THE EUROPEAN AND CANADIAN MEDIA I’M REFERRING TO, ARE
VIDEO EXPOSE’S THAT I’VE SENT YOU ALREADY, BUT HERE THEY ARE BELOW AGAIN, SO
YOU CAN VIEW THEM AND EMAIL THEM OUT TO PEOPLE.

The best part about this are the MYTHS and FACTS. Most of the Left have been painting everyone with a broad brush who expresses skepticism about the official story and mentions the administration's possible complicity. The "typical" skeptic some kind of racist right-wing nut who has a nazi flag hanging in the living room of his single-wide trailer that's parked next to his rusty old flat-bed ford pick-up truck with a confederate flag strapped to the antenna and who hangs around high schools handing out literature from the Aryan Nation when he's not listening to Art Bell, plotting his next church burning, or making crystal meth.

If, on the other hand, the "conspiratist" is a person of color, their skepticism is explained away in a patronizing manner as "naivety" or perhaps "they" can't help being prone to conspiracies or superstitions because of oppression

I'm a telemarketer, and I've been conducting my own poll on Bush and 9/11. Most people seem to agree that Bush allowed the attacks to happen. They cite the pipeline through Afghanistan, Bush's dealings with the Bin Laden family, and the administration's unwillingness to be investigated. Some are undecided, but the Phoenix memo is warming things up.

My boss doesn't seem to mind this, so I am going to continue. It's pretty interesting. I should start asking them to think about what they can do about it.




Yes yes and yes (english)

Just beneath the surface, I think many people realize that we're dealing with a group of savage criminals who must be stopped.

As we share this knowledge it will be easier to stomach. Its the sense of isolation that gets us.

Tell everyone.
