But then, Holdbrooks is a contrarian by nature. He can also be conspiratorial. When his company visited the site of the 9/11 attacks in New York, Holdbrooks remembers thinking there had to be a broader explanation, and that the Bush administration must have colluded somehow in the plot.” Masha’allah. So here’s a guy who doesn’t become a sadistic bully just because he’s a prison guard. And like the vast majority of Muslims, and more than 1/3rd of all…

I’m not really the hero-worshipping type. I think we all have to be our own heroes these days. That’s why I love the 9/11 truth movement. Thousands and thousands of heroes–all standing up for truth and justice in their own thousands and thousands of ways. Google “leaderless resistance” to bone up on the advantages of this approach. But let’s face it: Some folks have that je ne sais quoi that separates the heroes from the other heroes. Courage is part of it, and seeing and seizing an opportunity for heroic action is another. When William Rodriguez risked his own life…

Splitting-the-Sky, arrested while trying to arrest George W. Bush in Calgary, may become the Rosa Parks of civil resistance (CR). Just as Rosa Parks said “no more” to a segregated South, Splitting-the-Sky has said “enough already” to a world where the worst war criminals walk free. And just as Rosa Parks inspired thousands to risk jail by defying the segregation laws, S-T-S could inspire thousands to attempt to arrest known war criminals, submit to arrest while doing so, demand jury trials, and invoke an international law defense. Proving that great minds think alike, one of my readers just wrote: I…

Tomorrow –Saturday, March 14th, 2009, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. — Chris “Def” Defendorf will attempt to set a new world record for longest nonstop rap with a twelve-hour rap about 9/11 truth. (Certain family members of mine probably think I could give him a run for his money…) The media coverage so far isn’t covering the 9/11 truth angle: http://www.stargazette.com/article/20090307/NEWS01/903070314 Chris, a frequent guest on my radio shows, is an eloquent voice for 9/11 truth, and has even recorded an audiobook version of David Ray Griffin’s The New Pearl Harbor.

A day after suggesting that U.S. citizenship laws should be changed to strip American terrorists of their nationality, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) has introduced legislation to do just that. His bill amends existing law that revokes the citizenship of any American who joins a foreign military. “I’m now putting together legislation [so that] any individual American citizen who is found to be involved in a foreign terrorist organization, as defined by the Department of State, would be deprived of their citizenship rights,” Lieberman told reporters Tuesday. “If you have joined an enemy of the United States in attacking the United…

An Advice Column The satirical newspaper The Onion sometimes parodies advice columns. If they were doing “Ask a 9/11 Truther” it might look something like this: Dear 9/11 Truther, My husband is cheating on me and my boyfriend says it’s because I’m not romantic enough. What should I do? Confused in Pottshole Dear Confused, Your boyfriend and husband need to know that the melting point of steel is more than 1,000 degrees higher than the maximum possible temperature of an open-air hydrocarbon fire — and more than 1500 degrees higher than the hottest parts of the fires in the World…
