Can we organize a 9-11 focused ?W for tomorrow's (9/11) Wash. Journal

[Dude_CalmDown]

You all know how Washington Journal (C-SPAN 7-10 AM Eastern) takes calls and allows people to comment on just about anything as long as it is even remotely related. Tomorrow is most likely going to focus on 9-11. I think we should make a list of the most damning questions that we would like the chimp to have to answer. We should rank them in order of most damning and try to get as many people from DU to call in and try to get on the air. Once on the air start asking the questions and ask as many as you can from the list. Anyone who is on hold and trying to get through should listen/watch and follow along checking off the ones already asked and if they can get through then start where the last one left off. Also it helps to tell the moderator right from the start that you have a few very important questions that you would like to ask and that you would appreciate it if they don't cut you off. I personally have a job interview (isn't that amazing - 3 whole interviews in 1 month) tomorrow morning and so I won't be participating but I really think we should get a little organized and at least try to pull this off. Some suggestions for question topics:

-Why did it take so long to get fighter jets in the air?
-Why was 45 million spent investigating Clinton's dick and we're barely spending 50 cents on investigating 9-11?
-The Put Options?
-The top Pentagon officials canceling travel plans on Sept. 10th
-Why has the official story not changed one bit from a few hours after the attacks until now?
-Why are several of the supposed hijackers still alive?
-Why did Bush personally asked Daschle not to probe into 9/11, and why did Cheney ask several times not to look too deeply?

I know we already have ?W but I think we need to create and agree on a standard list of questions for tomorrow's Washington Journal. Any ideas?

[no name no slogan]

1. What about the "other" 9/11?

Not only that, but tomorrow is the 30th anniversary of the overthrow of the democratically-elected socialist Allende government in Chile by Augusto Pinochet and the Chilean Armed Forces.

The US played a major role in the coup-- Richard Nixon and everyone's favorite war criminal Henry Kissinger were directly involved. The coup in Chile destroyed the country's 150+ year democratic tradition, and the following reign of terror led to the deaths of as many as 7,000 people.

We need to bring this to the attention of the national media, and remind them of what an imperialistic "screw you, world" foreign policy can lead to.

Remember, the CIA overthrew the democratic government of Mossadeq in Iran in 1953 and replaced him w/ the Shah. Connect the dots, and you'll get to 9/11.

3. Yeah I know about those and agree with you but

what I've learned while trying to educate others about those 2 events is that when they finally accept the US involvement in it all they don't feel lied to, angry, etc., etc. - instead they now agree with those actions, believe that it was important for us to do so and now enjoy a sudden pride in our government for having the balls to take such controversial actions. It's scary I know. What I'm hoping for is to use the fact that our population is dominated by such shallow attitudes that believe American lives are far more valuable than any foreign life and that American interests are far more valuable than any foreign democracy. It's obvious that most Americans don't care who Shrub kills as long as it's not an American (maybe I should say a rich American) so I think asking questions about 9/11/01 will do more towards waking people up than asking about any other 9/11. That's just my take on what we could be asking tomorrow.

[eek]

2. Good - I'd like a concise list too - to use as flyer

Anyone got such a thing?
I'll set it up hwere, just need the talking points/links

Seems like such a thing has been circulating...

I am a NY'er who is - like all of us - sick sick sick over what has gone on.


The timeline, the official questions...I wanna make a mess of flyers to stick up all over the small city i now live in.
My little 9-11 tribute/action.

[Dude_CalmDown]

6. Here's a list someone posted a little while ago that I saved

Thanks whoever it was.

1) General Myers' schedule between the first WTC crash and the Pentagon crash and Senate confirmation hearing "explanation" for this.

2) Bush's schedule between the first WTC crash and the Pentagon crash, and subsequent lies about seeing the first crash on TV and thinking "What a lousy pilot."

3) The utter lack of any air defense response to the four hijackings that took place over the span of almost 2 full hours, even though intercepting any hijacked planes had been SOP for the last 30 years.

4) Top Pentagon officials canceled travel plans on Sept. 10th.

5) The DOD just happened to be planning an attack to “wipe al Qaida off the face of the earth," which was all wrapped up and ready for the pen two days before 9/11.

6) Rumsfeld's schedule between the first WTC crash and the Pentagon crash.

7) US agents are told to back off Bin Laden almost the day Bush assumes the office of the Presidency.

8) Ashcroft himself was instructed not to fly commercial planes more than a month before the attack.

9) Absolutely no determination of who made at least hundreds of millions of dollars selling short on American and United Airlines (plus other affected stocks and options) just before and on 9/11.

10) Not one of the supposed 9/11 perpetrators has been positively identified from their remains. In fact, no attempt was even made to ID any of these remains, despite Saudi Arabia's world class national health care. All of the hijackers' death certificates read "John Doe." Contrast this with reports that every single other passenger on Flight 93 was positively ID’ed.

11) Out of thousands of arrests and detentions, only a single suspect has been charged in connection with 9/11 or post-9/11 domestic terrorism--and this guy was a walking neon sign broadcasting the coming terrorist attacks long before 9/11.

12) Someone happens to be running around with the US Military's anthrax sending it off in envelopes to democratic leaders--including Senator Patrick Leahy, who is high profile only in that he headed the justice committee that was to oversee the initial Senate approval of the Patriot Act. And, surprise, surprise, the FBI still doesn't have one decent lead here, despite some experts' well researched insistence that the culprit is being protected.

13) Bush personally asked Daschle not to probe into 9/11, and Cheney asked several times not to look too deeply. Then when public pressure from the victims' families forced the Bush Administration to agree to an independent commission, Cheney worked behind the scenes through Rep. Goss to scuttle the investigation.

14) No one had envisioned planes as missiles despite the 1999 Library of Congress Report, the 1999 United States Commission on National Security Report, the Filipino police warning in 1995, the Youssaf trial, Gore's 1997 Report on Terrorism, the Genoa Summit warning, a plane that flew into the White House in 1994, the Pentagon MASCAL simulation of plane crashes in December 2000, etc, etc.

15) No questioning of the Bin Laden family--instead then Bush administration was actively complicit in helping them avoid any scrutiny or questioning, even to the point of allowing all of them to evacuate the country during the otherwise no-fly period of 9/12 and 9/13 and token, if any, pressure on the Saudi government to cooperate with any 9/11 investigation and/or hand over other Saudi nationals who may have been involved in the effort.


Prior Knowledge:
1. US agents are told to back off Bin Laden almost the day Bush assumes the office of the Presidency (US agents told: Back off Bin Ladens, http://old.smh.com.au/news/0111/07/world/world100.html and http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=103&row=1 ).

2. The Bush administration takes office and gives the Taliban $43 million, all the while contemplating attacking them and taking over for a planned pipeline (http://www.indiareacts.com/archivefeatures/nat2.asp?recno=10&ctg= and http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/south_asia/newsid_1550000/1550366.stm ).

3. At the same time for some as yet unexplained reason, the DOD happened to be planning an attack to “wipe al Qaida off the face of the earth," which was all wrapped up and ready for the pen two days before 9/11 (U.S. planned for attack on al-Qaida, http://www.msnbc.com/news/753359.asp ).
4. Bush gets an August briefing headed "Bin Laden Determined To Strike in US" (Aug. Memo Focused On Attacks in U.S., http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A35744-2002May17.html ).

5. In the meantime Israel (Israeli security issued urgent warning to CIA of large-scale terror attacks, http://www.dailytelegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=%2Fnews%2F2001%2F09%2F16%2Fwcia16.xml ), Germany (Echelon Gave Authorities Warning Of Attacks, http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/170072.html ), Russia (http://izvestia.ru/rubr.cgi?id=5542&idr=523%20 ), France (http://detnews.com/2001/nation/0110/03/a07-309216.htm ), Italy (Italy Tells of Threat at Genoa Summit, http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-092701genoa.story ), and Egypt (Egypt Leader Says He Warned America, http://globalresearch.ca/articles/LEB112A.html ) are all sending warnings to Bush of an imminent and major attack that is reported in the newspapers, but didn't seem to be noticed by the Bush administration.

6. Yet the Bush Administration was on high alert. Ashcroft himself was instructed not to fly commercial planes (Ashcroft Flying High, http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/07/26/national/main303601.shtml ).

7. On September 7, 2001, the State Department issued a “worldwide caution” which said: "American citizens may be the target of a terrorist threat from extremist groups with links to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda organization." (http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2001/09/14/MN92245.DTL )

8. Top Pentagon officials canceled travel plans on Sept. 10th (http://www.msnbc.com/news/629606.asp?0sp=w13b2#BODY ).

9. No one had envisioned planes as missiles despite the 1999 Library of Congress Report (The Sociology And Psychology Of Terrorism, http://www.loc.gov/rr/frd/Sociology-Psychology%20of%20Terrorism.htm ), the 1999 United States Commission on National Security Report, the Filipino police warning in 1995, the Youssaf trial, Gore's 1997 Report on Terrorism (White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security, http://www.fas.org/irp/threat/212fin~1.html ), the Genoa Summit warning, a plane that flew into the White House in 1994, and the Pentagon MASCAL simulation of plane crashes in December 2000 (Contingency planning Pentagon MASCAL exercise simulates scenarios in preparing for emergencies, http://www.mdw.army.mil/news/Contingency_Planning.html ).


The events of September 11th (see footnotes below).
A) Bush's schedule between the first WTC crash and the Pentagon crash.

B) Rumsfeld's schedule between the first WTC crash and the Pentagon crash.

C) General Myers' schedule between the first WTC crash and the Pentagon crash.

D) The utter lack of any air defense response to the four hijackings that took place over the span of almost 2 full hours.


Post 9/11:
1. Someone happens to be running around with the US Military's anthrax sending it off in envelopes to democratic leaders. (George Monbiot: Riddle of the spores, http://www.guardian.co.uk/anthrax/story/0,1520,719367,00.html ). And, surprise, surprise, the FBI still doesn't have one decent lead here (http://abcnews.go.com/sections/wnt/DailyNews/anthrax020520.html ), despite some experts' well researched insistence that the culprit is being protected (http://www.scotlandonsunday.com/index.cfm?id=655812002 and http://www.fas.org/bwc/news/anthraxreport.htm ).

2. Bush personally asked Daschle not to probe into 9/11, and Cheney asked several times not to look too deeply (Bush asks Daschle to limit Sept. 11 probes, http://www.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/01/29/inv.terror.probe/ ).

3. No questioning of the Bin Laden family--instead then Bush administration was actively complicit in helping them avoid any scrutiny or questioning, even to the point of allowing all of them to evacuate the country during the otherwise no-fly period of 9/12 and 9/13.

4. Token, if any, pressure on the Saudi government to cooperate with any 9/11 investigation and/or hand over other Saudi nationals who may have been involved in the effort.

5. Not one of the supposed 9/11 perpetrators has been positively identified from their remains. In fact, no attempt was even made to ID any of these remains, despite Saudi Arabia's world class national health care. All of the hijackers' death certificates read "John Doe."

6. Out of thousands of arrests and detentions, only a single suspect has been charged in connection with 9/11 or post-9/11 domestic terrorism--and this guy was a walking neon sign broadcasting the coming terrorist attacks long before 9/11.

7. Absolutely no determination of who made at least hundreds of millions of dollars selling short on American and United Airlines (plus other affected stocks and options) just before and on 9/11.

4. Why did Bush give a promotion to the FBI administrator who

refused to grant a warrant to search Moussaoui's laptop before 9/11?

[nostamj]

5. good luck! but interest in ?W has evaporated

tried with this thread,

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=292111

a mass e-mailing and.....

<crickets>

I can't call in to WJ but I'm always listening and would love to hear this happen...

[Dude_CalmDown]

7. That thread is what gave me the idea

I'm going to be sending an e-mail to everyone I know and a few media whores. I just think C-SPAN is the only way we could get our questions aired. I also remember one morning where a few DUers had said they got through and onto Washington Journal. I think if we just bombard them with calls a few of us can get through and we can get a few of our questions asked.

[nostamj]

8. well, be sure to plug ?W and DU

if you can! I will be listening (barring another attack in NYC, of course)

9. Kick

I won't kick this again I promise.

11. Holy jumping fucking lizzards

Thanks for the info -

Was it ever determined who started the rumor about Air Force One being a terrorist target?

[Qutzupalotl]

13. Not sure

I always just thought it was "assumed." So AF1 took off and climbed as steeply as possible to 35K feet(?), then went to military bases. His actions that day seem to me like he was scared, so it couldn't have all been too scripted out. Which is not to say he didn't have some foreknowledge...I think he did. But I don't think they knew for sure that AF1 was not a target.

[nostamj]

12. of course, the BEST question of all is...

WHO ACTUALLY BENEFITTED FROM 9/11 ???
WHO 'HIT THE TRIFECTA!' ???
WHO HAD, "A FABULOUS YEAR ???

WHO IS BLOCKING AN INVESTIGATION ???
