Witness THE POWER of DU!
On Aaron Brown's Newsnight he profiled Sun Myung "The Messiah" Moon's Coronation Ceremony where members of Congress honored him. As you recall, this was a huge topic here on DU and some members called their Congresspeople and raised hell! The Moonie Times should be getting a few interesting letters to the editor they'll never run! What?

Can it be that we paltry few screamers into the wind can make a difference? Huh?

THe POWER!

Let's keep it up, folks!

Next, let's get CNN to cover the "Terrorist's Girlfriend Story"!!!
This one's goes further than even Michael Moore has dared!
Guerrilla of the Week
Editor's Pick, June 17, 2004
Daniel Hopsicker's new book Welcome to Terrorland: Mohamed Atta and the 9-11 Cover-Up in Florida goes where the 9/11 Commission dares not look.

Hopsicker is a former NBC News producer who spent two years in Venice, Florida researching Huffman Aviation, the school that trained 9/11 pilots Mohamed Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi. Hopsicker's investigation connects this Florida flight school to a series of shadowy international figures. In Welcome to Terrorland, not only does Hopsicker exclusively interview Atta's American girlfriend, he finds reason to believe that the FBI is covering up key aspects to the 9/11 story.


Hopsicker reports that flight school owner Wally Hilliard has a series of strange connections to rich and powerful players. Hilliard's history as a businessman links him to Silverado Resorts' Myron DuBain (who hosted the Bushes, Rumsfeld and Ollie North) and John McCone, director of the CIA under JFK and Johnson. Hilliard bought a plane from Truman Arnold (the Clinton fund-raiser who sold visits to the Lincoln bedroom) for only one dollar. Hilliard also got stiffed on a major loan to Jerry Falwell. Hopsicker points out: Hilliard's plane was busted with 43 pounds of heroin in Orlando the same month Atta and Marwan Al-Shehhi arrived at his school in Venice, Florida. According to Hopsicker's sources in Virginia and Florida, Hilliard had a "green light" from the DEA.

GNN contributor Sander Hicks recently talked with Hopsicker for the INN World Report (seen on Free Speech TV, Channel 9415, DiSHNetwork) about the flight school mysteries, Atta's very un-suicide-bomber-like behavior, and the allegations that the FBI was engaged in a cover-up:

Go to the interview...

1. Hey, I just bought Hopsicker's book!
It just arrived in the mail today. I haven't started reading it yet other than just skipping around here and there but it looks damn interesting and very well written. PROBLEM IS, I have too damn many books to read. Recently I've discovered "talking books" -- I LISTENED to both Chomsky's "Hegemony or Survival" AND to Michael Moore's "Dude Where's My Country?" while just working around the house. Both are AMAZING and chocked full of an alternate history the media doesn't tell us. WOW.

And you can down load the MP3s for both books here;

2. thanks for the links
great idea - i'm a truck driver, after all. And sometimes there's no way to get Rick Barber, Mike Webb or Lionel...

Air America's signals have not made it to Southern Western canada yet - but I still get a steady diet Of the LimbaughO'ReillyHannitySavageExterminatetheRatsandterroristslikebarbarastreisand crowd.

It's such transparent neo-Fascist propaganda it makes me howl in unbelievable derision - and scared like hell all ath the same time. A rather unsettling feeling.

4. Did Hopsicker or anybody else pick up on "Silverado Resorts?"
Silverado was the name of Neil Bush's failed S&L, wasn't it? Is there a tie-in between the two Silverados & the BFEE?

5. Good Idea,
I think I'll send Aaron Brown an email via www.cnn.com/feedback and suggest that he might like to do a story on the Muslim fundamentalist terrorist who liked pork chops, alcohol and blow.

Mohamed Atta, Islamic Party Animal

"Atta and his crew were always flush with lots and lots of money," said Stephanie Frederickson, a 50-year old housewife and foster mother who with her husband lived right next door to Atta’s apartment. “Those guys were all really party animals."

During their brief time together, Amanda and Atta went out almost every night, she said, and were part of a social scene at clubs like Margarita Maggie’s in Sarasota. “When we went out we would meet pilots from Africa, Germany, and there were always lots of Arabs.”

In fact, Atta was a heavy drinker, snorted coke, was a stylish dresser and wore enough expensive gold jewelry that a waitress in Venice thought he might be in the Mob.


“Top Ten Things You Never Knew About Mohamed Atta.”

I think I'll also send a link to Minstrel Boy's post which contains a very comprehensive and well organized list of links to various threads on 911 related "anomalies" that have been discussed on DU.

6. Late night kick
cuz we all need the occasional reminder to keep swinging away for the fences. It all matters very much, no matter how small an individual effort is against such a vast network of evil. It all matters very much.

:kick:
