Cynthia McKinney, knife still in back, soldiers on...
You Won't Hear About This On CNN....

GOP politicizes 9/11 for its gain, McKinney says

By DAVID HO
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 09/09/04

NEW YORK — Former Georgia congresswoman Cynthia McKinney accused
Republicans on Thursday of exploiting the memory of Sept. 11, 2001,
for political gain and repeated her implication that truths about the
attacks remain untold.

The DeKalb County Democrat, who is running to reclaim the 4th District
congressional seat, was voted out two years ago after making
controversial comments about the Sept. 11 attacks during a radio
interview. She implied that the Bush administration had known the
attacks were coming but did nothing to prevent them.

On Thursday, she chaired a hearing staged by activist groups and
researchers who say the government has covered up information related
to the hijackings.

"No organization, no administration, no forces, no powers that be are
going to crush the truth of what happened on Sept. 11 to the ground,"
she vowed.

2. High Treason In High Places
Dear 9/11 Truth activists and concerned citizens,

Mike Ruppert's long-awaited new book on 9/11, "Crossing the Rubicon:
The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil," is
now available for advance orders from his website:

http://www.fromthewilderness.com

We also highly recommend, as a preface to reading the book, reading
the transcript of Ruppert's speech to the Commonwealth Club in San
Francisco last Tuesday:

Towards Peace and Truth,

Emanuel Sferios
Webmaster, 9/11 Visibility Project

-----
>From Mike Ruppert:

"In my new book I will be making several key points:

1. I will name Vice President Richard Cheney as the prime suspect in
the mass murders of 9/11 and will establish that, not only was he a
planner in the attacks, but also that on the day of the attacks he was
running a completely separate Command, Control and Communications
system which was superceding any orders being issued by the FAA, the
Pentagon, or the White House Situation Room;

2. I will establish conclusively that in May of 2001, by presidential
order, Richard Cheney was put in direct command and control of all
wargame and field exercise training and scheduling through several
agencies, especially FEMA. This also extended to all of the
conflicting and overlapping NORAD drills -- some involving hijack
simulations -- taking place on that day.

3. I will also demonstrate that the TRIPOD II exercise being set up on
Sept. 10th in Manhattan was directly connected to Cheney's role in the
above.

4. I will also prove conclusively that a number of public officials,
at the national and New York City levels, including then-Mayor Rudolph
Giuliani, were aware that flight 175 was en route to lower Manhattan
for 20 minutes and did nothing to order the evacuation of, or warn the
occupants of the South Tower. One military officer was forced to leave
his post in the middle of the attacks and place a private call to his
brother - who worked at the WTC - warning him to get out. That was
because no other part of the system was taking action.

5. I will also show that the Israeli and British governments acted as
partners with the highest levels of the American government to help in
the preparation and, very possibly, the actual execution of the
attacks."

9. This is one example of why the Dems had to vote for Pres
authority to ues war as an option! Do you remember what happened to Cynthia back then? Everybody wnated to slam her for such treasonist statements about our President. Well, I guess time does tell, huh?

I sure don't alwayas agree with Cynthia, but she was standing alone bak then, and it looks like she was right!

10. I hope there is more material in tonight's Moyers that vindicates her
There are so few in office who are fighting for the truth....... she deserves all the support we can give her!

13. She was destroyed basically for expressing the truth that
other dems were to scared to express two years ago. Zell Miller did it.

15. Eek!! Eek!! She's too liberal!! She says scary things!!
Goodness gracious!! Get the smelling salts for all the "moderates" that might be offended!

How long do you reckon it will be before the "smart", "practical", "politically savvy", Democrats will start distancing themselves from her?

God, I hope she wins big.
