Half of New Yorkers Believe US Leaders Had Foreknowledge of Impending 9-11 Attacks and “Consciously Failed” To Act; 66% Call For New Probe of Unanswered Questions by Congress or New York’s Attorney General, New Zogby International Poll Reveals
(Utica, NY) – On the eve of a Republican National Convention invoking 9/11 symbols, sound bytes and imagery, half (49.3%) of New York City residents and 41% of New York citizens overall say that some of our leaders “knew in advance that attacks were planned on or around September 11, 2001, and that they consciously failed to act,” according to the poll conducted by Zogby International. The poll of New York residents was conducted from Tuesday August 24 through Thursday August 26, 2004. Overall results have a margin of sampling error of +/-3.5.

The 9/11 Report turns more and more into an “omission report”.
9/11 Truth Activist and researcher Mike Kane broke it apart…
The final report released by the 9/11 Commission contradicts itself in the very first chapter, repeatedly, and strains credulity beyond a reasonable limit in a number of places. Our primary focus will be chapter 1 of the report titled, ‘We Have Some Planes,’ in which the notification and response of the FAA and NORAD is discussed…

IN THE RECENT documentary Outfoxed, media critic Robert McChesney suggests right-leaning news outlets like Fox News are worse than the Stalinist-era propaganda. At least in Soviet Russia, he says, people knew they were getting the official party line.

Donald Rumsfeld, one of the chief opponents of investing real power over purse and personnel in a new national intelligence chief, told the 9/11 commission that an intelligence czar would do the nation “a great disservice.” It is fair to ask what kind of service Rumsfeld provided on the day the nation was under catastrophic attack.
“Two planes hitting the twin towers did not rise to the level of Rumsfeld’s leaving his office and going to the War Room? How can that be?” asked Mindy Kleinberg, one of the widows known as the Jersey Girls, whose efforts helped create and guide the 9/11 commission. The fact that the final report failed to offer an explanation is one of the infuriating holes in an otherwise praiseworthy accounting.

To All Concerned Americans:
Post 9/11 America is a dangerous place, but a Senator has recently given an opportunity for all Americans to encourage Congress to protect the national security of our country.
New York 911Truth is posting a letter from our chairman that will be addressed to Senator Mark Dayton, a Democrat from Minnesota, who recently raised very appropriate questions about NORAD & FAA negligence, and lies, regarding what really happened on 9/11.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Congressman Porter Goss, President Bush’s nominee for CIA director, could be his own worst enemy when it comes to making the case that he deserves to lead the U.S. intelligence agency.
“I couldn’t get a job with CIA today. I am not qualified,” the Florida Republican told
documentary-maker Michael Moore’s production company during the filming of the anti-Bush movie “Fahrenheit 9/11.”

John Kerry has waded into an issue raised by Michael Moore in his film “Fahrenheit 9/11,” namely, President Bush’s sitting for seven minutes in a Florida classroom after being told “the country is under attack.” Republicans are waxing indignant, of course. But the criticism is richly deserved.
The fact that Bush wasted 27 minutes that day – not only the seven minutes reading to kids but 20 more at a photo op afterward – was, in my view, the most outrageous thing a President has done since Franklin Roosevelt tried to pack the Supreme Court.

08/09/04 — Last weeks announcement that the terrorist threat warning level has been raised in parts of New York, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. has led to dramatic and unprecedented restrictions on the movements of citizens. Americans wishing to visit the U.S. Capitol must, for example, pass through several checkpoints and submit to police inspection of their cars and persons.
Many Americans support the new security measures because they claim to feel safer when the government issues terror alerts and fills the streets with militarized police forces. As one tourist interviewed this week said, It makes me feel comfortable to know that everything is being checked. It is ironic that tourists coming to Washington to celebrate the freedoms embodied in the Declaration of Independence are so eager to give up those freedoms with no questions asked.

The 9/11 commission’s 500-plus-page report is filled with suggestions on how to
reorganize the nation’s defenses against sneak attacks. So great and so positive has been the reaction to this latest offering that Congress is getting off the dime and cutting short one of its interminable vacations to consider acting on its recommendations.
Part of the document’s power is that the report is touted as bipartisan and therefore deserving of special respect. But that is TV-news-host palaver. In truth, if it’s bipartisan it is deserving of special suspicion, because “bipartisan” really means a put-up job, a behind-the-scenes deal, something in which the fix is in between the two political parties. Bipartisanism is what has gotten us into the foreign-affairs fix we are in.

These revelations are not new, though the open letter is remarkable in its specificity and naming of names. Previously, while being careful not to violate the legal silencing measures imposed on her by the FBI, the courts and the Justice Department, she has leveled damning criticisms in the media of her former employers and what she has termed the Bush administration’s “anti-transparency, anti-accountability and their corrupt attitudes”.
“But that aside,” she told radio interviewer Jim Hogue in April, “we are not made of only one branch of government. We are supposed to have a system of checks and balances. And I am saying, how about the other two branches? And putting the pressure on our representatives in the Senate and the Congress, and the court system? They should be counteracting this corruption, but they are sitting there silent. And they are just an audience, just watching it happen.”
