Bush Knew — An American Requiem
No matter how many times I watch this Flash animation at Take Back the Media I have to wipe away tears. Mozart’s “Lacrimosa” is the perfect background to this haunting and damning indictment of Bush—as either a complete and utter incompetent jackass, or a complicit, treasonous enabler of a crime unimaginable to people of conscience. Worth the brief wait on dial-up. While you’re there, make a donation to get this onto national TV.

Government Insider Says Bush Authorized 911 Attacks
rense.com, September 17, 2004
That vague uneasy feeling about 9/11, that somehow, in some way, Bush was complicit (why else would he dawdle around in that school that day, allowing plenty of time for events to unfold while he read to the children, posed for photos and glad-handed well-wishers?) is etched in concrete terms in this defnitive interview by Alex Jones of Stanley Hilton, attorney for 9/11 taxpayers’ lawsuit, “a senior advisor to Sen Bob Dole (R) and [who] has personally known Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz for decades. This courageous man has risked his professional reputation, and possibly his life, to get this information out to people.” Read this!

Bernard Weiner

Mariani vs. Bush
Best place to keep up with the case of Ellen Mariani, who filed a civil RICO lawsuit on November 26, 2003, against President Bush and other high level members of his administration “based upon prior knowledge of 911; knowingly failing to act, prevent or warn of 911; and the ongoing obstruction of justice by covering up the truth of 911; all in violation of the laws of the United States. Ellen seeks judicial redress to restore the U.S. Consititution's ‘Separation of Powers’ clause.”

9/11—The Road To Tyranny

911: The Road to Tyranny
A film by Alex Jones
“Shaking the foundations of Washington DC as the most comprehensive and revealing documentary film covering what really happened on Sept. 11 and who stands to gain.” The film is for sale but 40 minutes of it can be viewed here, and several clips can be downloaded. Exposes “how dozens of FBI and defense intelligence agents were threatened with arrest by the federal government if they got in the way of al-Qaeda operations, how the CIA trained, funded and protected bin Laden, that impeachment lawyer David Schippers warned Congress and the Justice Department of the impending attacks (. . . Schippers has since been threatened with arrest if he continues to speak out . . .), how the recently declassified top-secret Northwoods Document written by the Joint Chiefs of Staff laid out plans to bomb Washington and to hijack airplanes as a pretext for war . . .” and a lot lot more.

UnansweredQuestions.org
Complex and very important web site devoted to investigating events and circumstances leading up to 9/11, and how much was known and even abetted by our own government.

This site also links to a companion site, 9/11 Citizens Watch, “a new citizen-led oversight process established to monitor and constructively engage the Government-sanctioned National Commission on the Terrorist Attacks on the U.S.”

pi911: The People’s Investigation of 9/11
“We declare a national emergency in uncovering what really happened on 9/11/2001 through an immediate call for an independent collaborative investigation worldwide. The U.S. government could help us but instead is doing everything it can to stop any investigations into 9/11. The People’s Investigation of 9/11 is an assemblage of international researchers and activists. Task-based functional groups work together on various projects, including research topics and volunteer efforts, in unison with other 9/11 evidence-finding efforts. Until a legitimate independent citizen’s committee is funded and recognized by the U.S. government or a world political body or court, it is left up to the citizens of the world to investigate and share what they know with others.” Highly organized web site, with a beginning link to What We Know. Long list of related and coordinating links, several forums, and concrete ideas for what an interested person can do to help.
