Grand Coalition

(This comment also appears on my website at:  http://mysite.verizon.net/vze25x9n/id27.html)

Here's my reaction to the proposal being put out to the 911 Truth Movement in the hopes it'll reach people before they start working on it. It's a proposal for a "grand coalition" between members of the e-voting activist movement and the 9/11 truth movement. No time to summarize it, but you can read it here:  http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2005/01/307162.shtml

What I have in quotes below, are quotes from this proposal.

What a sad joke this thing is, which will waste the time and efforts of well meaning but clueless activists.

"if you feel the urgency to save democracy"

Like fixing voting machines will save democracy when there's only one fucking party to vote for in this Country! Even if all votes are accurately recorded and counted, it won't mean a goddamn thing.

Will this fucking waste of time, and worse legitimation, "strategy" of asking the corporate media or the fake left media to do away with their very function, stop fulfilling their very purpose, never stop rearing its ugly head? The fake left media's goal is to be fake, corporate's is to serve the powers that be. But, what the hell, let's email again the mouthpieces for the powers that be & the fake left media and ask them to change. (And if they don't change the first time we ask them, well, we'll give them another chance to reconsider. And if they still don't change, well, then we'll file some lawsuits - ooh, it's just too scary.)

And when will 911 truth activists stop begging for coverage that will never serve them? Any mention of the movement is not good mention.

I copied this from somewhere, don't remember where, but people must finally get that "Democracy is a form of social control and the mass media (fake left included)/& education are systems for indoctrination."

So, guys, yeah just keep "urge(ing) them to report and to report fairly".

Why don't you go right to the boycott? Who among you people still has any hope that they'll abide by your demands? Those that do, are keeping us from creating better strategies, trying to steal our base and our time.

"and to properly address the issues concerned by inviting representatives of the two movements into their offices or studios."

Yeah, keep seeking further opportunities for the media to spin the story the way the media is designed to spin the story. Getting into corporate media is a stupid nonsensical goal of any real movement. You must have grand illusions to seek such a goal.

There's stuff all over my website about these stupid strategies. I'm tired of writing about it. Give up on this goal once and for all. They'll never be our media. We can only create our own. That being the case, why waste time on this - which feeds illusions that it's still possible??

And this is funny too, the counterproductive goal will apparently be met by:

"not referring to any particular detail or representative piece of evidence, or to the past history of any representative or to his or her preferred details for this evidence."

What does that mean and how can that be accomplished without mentioning facts to prove your case (if your goal had mattered, that is)?

And again, just like the mass media is not our media, the Courts are not our courts! You people are filled with such illusions - and until they are smashed, we won't get anywhere!

"This softball message can no longer be tolerated."

Ha! This whole proposal is same old repeated softball strategy in new clothes, like:

"[investigation] should be reopened by Congress or by Attorney General Eliot Spitzer. A Congressional inquiry that respects the pressing nature of these questions is long overdue."

Yeah right, that's what we need, another congressional investigation!!! You people are clueless.

And here's another softball/limited hangout about how the 911 perps are the Bush gang (the mere foot soldiers of the real perps):

"the real perpetrators of 9/11: the think-tank members of the Project for a New American Century."

And if the following isn't the cat calling the kettle black (or whatever that expression is) when those not responding to the strategy are told:

"More irritatingly, you will be participating in a pending fascist regime and implicitly supporting the idea and reality of an effectively one-party system."

That's exactly what this "great movements coming together" strategy accomplishes. That's the very basis of the e-voting movement which some of you 911 truthers are so hot for us to hook up with, which by its very nature "implicitly supports" a one party system (by urging that the votes for each side of the same coin be counted accurately)!

"What brings us together is just a general common view of journalism and democracy."

No, what brings you together is blindness about "journalism" and "democracy", and grand illusions about the state of same pre-Bush.

And your "hope to receive the support of more traditional progressive 9/11 truth projects," will most likely be met as the "traditional" 911 activists, i.e., 911 activists whose fake strategies never stop, sign up in droves.

911 Truth Movement Musings (Watching the Watchers)

 http://www.Angieon911.com

It has been a long 2 months!

Today, 1/6/05, we witnessed the grand refusal of our voice! We did move the House and Senate to hear us; this was apparent during the shuffling of voices and demeanor during the certification of the Election, today. Keep in mind, many of those who voted to go ahead and certify the Vote--were themselves also voted in under the Vote 2004 ballot! This is a matter of personally unrecognized bias, and personal interest; which is the cause behind the prevention of a fair accountability in the House and Senate.

The basic right to vote, to choose our Representatives, and Senators has been altered--illegaly! Upon the occurance of the implimentation of a fair and just method allowing a Fair Hearing, the facts can be heard and found to have a net-gross effect upon our Election this year--we know this. The simple denial of the facts, and constant attacks against 'conspiracy theorists', has managed to silence those who would otherwise consent to a legitmate & independent investigation into the real issues surrounding our Democracy today.

Conspiracy is used rightly to describe; 'an agreement to say nothing', or ' a secret plan for a group to keep secret to do somthing unlawful or harmful'< Oxford Dictionary, 2004; pg 305>

Now, a Conspiracy Theory; is 'a belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for an unexplained event'< Oxford Dictionary, 2004; pg 305>

Our Government is both influential and has limited accountability; this can be the breeding ground for illegal activity--a 'conspiracy theory'.
* What is important to note; is the unexplained. We have asked for an explanation--an independent investigation; and none has been provided--nor, will it be forthcoming from those who have something to hide. Conspiracy has attained a negative stigma, which serves to cloud the legitmate questions one should ask concerning this years election.

We have the right to question, perform an independent investigation, and to hold our Government accountable for their acts, and functions. The only entity causing a conspiracy, are those ironically putting the blame for conspiracy on the citizens--our Government. If this seems foreign to you, you may not be living in the United States of America.

All peace movements should consider joining in voice and action. History is being written here, and who's story will be written? We must work together to make Democracy healthy again, our lives depend on it!

In November 2000, the election was stolen by Florida Governor Jeb Bush, brother of the Pretender-in-Chief, and then-Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris. The stealing was affirmed by William H. Rehnquist, Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, Anthony M. Kennedy, and Clarence "who left pubic hair on my Coke can" Thomas. On January 6, 2001, the Democrats acquiesed.

On 9-11, Al Qaeda attacked the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field north of Pittsburg. In light of Bush's refusal to capture or kill Al Qaeda, it is reasonable to conclude that Bush paid off Al Qaeda via the Saudis and Pakistanis. Why?:

1. To supress civil liberties--the Patriot Acts were proposals that were in the works since 1994.
2. To go to war in Iraq and elsewhere--the Neocons from the Project for a New American Century had wanted the United States troops to be in various places around the globe fighting various wars. We are losing in Iraq. This fantasy was concocted in a vacuum after the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991. The problem is that Iraq was not involved in 9-11 in any way. 9-11 was a cover or excuse to be in these wars.

When Bush stole the 2000 election, and is busy stealing the 2004 election, does he have a mandate to do shit? Do bank robbers have a mandate to be outstanding citizens of the community after they have just robbed the bank?

Bush is a dangerous animal. Are his supporters Brownshirts? These bastards should have been impeached yesterday. The problem currently is seeking review in the Courts, and in the long term, the power of initiatives may have to be utilized in states that do have it in order to mandate real election reforms, since neither party has seriously adopted serious reforms.

The People-v-Ohio-n-Florida will continue to tackle election litigation, but we will tackle more issues in the comming months. We cannot ignore one without the other by dismissing fair elections and investigate 9-11 or do the converse. We all need to stick together, but unless the Democratic Party also embraces liberalism, it will be DEAD ON ARRIVAL!

I have been reading your piece on the Grand Coalition, and also read the comments of Angie. I agree with her about the two party system in America. Here is Australia we have the 3 party system really, the other small parties are usually just stooges and quite ineffective. You may have heard of Pauline Hanson, she tried to take on the establishment and ended up in jail on false charges. It was only THE PEOPLE who got her out. I believe the only way you can do anything worth while is to inform the people of the truths of what ever. Be it 9/11 or the fraudulent voting system, or what ever. The New World Order people, control everything as Angie said. You can not go to these controlled establishments and expect them to do anything, be it the media the courts, congress or who ever. As for getting the truth movements together, you are again letting yourselves in for infiltration. You have an uncontrolled (apparently) media centre. Portland. This is the first time I have heard of you, but so far you seem to be spot on with 9/11, so I feel that now what you need is a United People Power, (not I say a political party), to inform people. No matter how powerful these people are, if the people are awake up to their schemes, what can they do? Wipe out the population of the planet? I have been following 9/11 myself for a long time, and some of these activists are now attempting to say that this was not an inside job but slackness on the part of Government. Well they I would say have already been infiltrated. When you arrive at the truth and have the evidence stay with it or people will become confused, and the evidence is there that it was in fact an inside job. Another very important issue is I believe Weather Control. These topics most be explored and the truth be told. We have seen what has just happened with this massive tidal wave that hit several countries on December 26th. I believe that was man made, and would be very surprised to learn that it was a natural disaster. Look up on the web: Angels don't play this HAARP. People have to learn the truth what ever it is and once informed then act in what ever way they can, even by informing others and the People Power movement grow. Then you will shake up the power that be, when they see the people becoming informed.
So, to me forget about political parties, as they will be squashed, forget about getting all the truth movement together, because some are infiltrated. Reach the people and maybe we will all be surprised at what the little people can achieve.

Pauline

Aloha,
I in support of a coalition amongst acivists and truth seekers re both these 'events'
I also have a music video called 'What If?' lyrics below
which was made in response to 911 - I wrote the song within 36 hours of the Towers falling,
having read a letter from one of the Iran-Contra lawyers and listening to my instincts.
At the time it was dangerous to sing.(Nationalism was riding high)
Now it gets standing ovations.

I live far from the epicenters of activism (in Hawaii).
I would love to offer this piece in service to the cause of restoring some sanity to this country's leadership.
I have noted historically that the right music can define a movement.
If you feel you could make use of such a thing - or can direct me to those who could
(it is 3 minutes and 7 seconds long and illustrates and colors a talk or an evening's event
e-mail me.
I have only a few copies of it in my possession
so would I like them to go where they can do some good
For more about my work, see
 http://www.Earthschild.com/rockopera/html.

let me know if this song can be of service.
the words are 1/3 of the music video experience.

PS - in reading your letter, if I may make an observation - there is a disgruntled energy
(well gosh I can't imagine why!)
that comes from the frustration (presumably) of living amongst blind denialism (de- nihilism?)
That note, and the hotmail address, both weaken your position.
No one responds well to criticism. Even though it is deserved and valid.
Every one believes they are the good guy
that is why baby kissers do so well in politics.
And angry young men usually have to wait in line to be noticed
I use Yahoo for reasons of privacy and cyber security,
so I am in accord with the web mail thing.
However, it lacks the aura of longevity.
I truly wish you good fortune in your endeavor and will support if I can, any action which can permanently discredit the monstrosity that has assumed power in this country.
I agree that a coalition will strengthen all sides.
Unite, my people, unite. So that none can break you or shake you - UNITE!

regards,
Jaiia Earthschild

lyrics to the song:

What If

What if it was us?
What if we are them?
What if the perpetrator first betrayed us and then
Played the victim?

What if it was us?
It was someone very smart
What if it was all designed to catalyse
the shattering of our peace of mind?

America the brave
America the Free
the ones who stole the governement
they are not innocent
First they stole democracy
And now they're profiting from war (or three or four)
Making it look like it's not them
Do you really think they give a damn about making waves
the sacrifice of some corporate slaves?

America the brave
America the free
The one they call the president
He is not innocent
He told us what he'd like to be
he said "Dictator would be fun
Make you all easier to run
Well he's getting very near
Sheds a crocodile tear
And the civilized world, cowering in fear
Says 'Let him do just what he wants'
That's the official response
'Commander in Chief we'll give up our freedom
Just to feel saved
We will gladly be enslaved"

What if it was us?
What if we are them?
What if the perpetrator first betrayed us and then
Played the victim?

What if it was us
What if we are them
what if the innocent
begin to sing and then
We claim our freedom
