Oh What A Day! New Video by Vic Sadot at YouTube

On Oct 12, 2011 Vic Sadot posted a new music video of "Oh What A Day!", which is the 14th song on the new 16 song collection released on Sept 11, 2011 as "9/11 Truth & Justice Songs - 10th Anniversary Edition". A new web site was launched on the same day with the crucial help of Michael Tank at www.vicsadot.com
The writing of "Oh What A Day!" was begun by Vic Sadot in November 2008 on the day after the election of the first Black President of the United States, Barack Obama, formerly Barry Sotero. It was completed not long after the Inauguration to celebrate the departure of the lawless, lying, war-mongering Bush-Cheney regime. The 2008 Democratic Party election victory seemed to indicate that the American electorate were hoping for a "CHANGE" along the lines of Roosevelt's "New Deal" program. Now that the Obama "honeymoon" period is long over, many in the electorate are feeling that the "CHANGE" promised was betrayed. We are getting the policies of the old war profiteering and torture regime with a new wave of austerity policies and further dismantling of the "New Deal". We need leaders who serve "JUSTICE", not the money masters, manipulators, and oppressors who bomb weaker resource rich countries in our name under all manner of ridiculous rationales and unproven pretexts. The song was recorded at Robot Envy Studio in Berkeley, CA with Sammy Fielding as sound engineer. Vic Sadot is on vocals and acoustic guitar. Eric Golub is featured on violin.
The video covers the issues that Obama has made his own, expanded wars and the use of drone warfare, for example. Scenes of opposition in the form of the new "Occupy Wall Street" movement feature in this video as well as many photos from SF Bay Area actions.

Truth Troubadour: “9/11 Truth & Justice Songs” CD Released by Vic Sadot on 10th Anniversary of 9/11

Truth Troubadour: “9/11 Truth & Justice Songs” CD Released by Vic Sadot on 10th Anniversary of 9/11

“9/11 Truth & Justice Songs” CD Released by Vic Sadot on 10th Anniversary of 9/11

Press Release Sept 16, 20
9/11 Truth & Justice Songs” CD Released by Vic Sadot on 10th Anniversary of 9/11
11
The official release date for Vic Sadot's “9/11 Truth & Justice Songs” CD was 9/11/11. Vic sang some of the songs in the street at the “Take Back Gandhi's 9/11” march. The march was part of the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance's 10th Anniversary observations of the terror attacks in the United States that remain in need of a genuine forensic criminal investigation. There was an annual film festival that began in Oakland at the Grand Lake Theater on Sept 8 and in San Francisco on Sept 11. The rally on September 11 began at the Mahatma Gandhi Statue in San Francisco up Market Street to the Civic Center and the historic Herbst Theater.
9/11/11 was also the date that Vic launched a new web site featuring the new CD, links to past releases, and links to blogs and video sites.
9/11 Truth & Justice Songs” CD has 16 songs that relate to the many remaining questions about those horrific events of “shock and awe” and the offical conspiracy story that was told about 19 Muslims with box cutters led by a man on a dialysis machine somehow coordinating the massive attacks from a cave. Some of Sadot's songs correlate to certain books that inspired them. “Cheney's in the Bunker” came from reading David Ray Griffin's monumental “The 9/11 Commission: Omissions & Distortions” in which he reported the omitted testimony of Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta on his recollections from being in the White House bunker with Dick Cheney. “Blowback or Bloody Treason” was written after reading Michael Ruppert's “Crossing the Rubicon”. Ruppert was a former Los Angeles detective, and he believed that 9/11 should be subjected to standard criminal investigation procedures with a view to who had the means, motive, opportunity, and stood to benefit from the crimes. “Trouble in the Rubble” came from reading an Associated Press article on the 9/11 rescue dogs by Amy Westfeldt. It was run in the Washington Post on Oct 20, 2006. It states that many of the rescue dogs who worked at the WTC after 9/11 had their feet burned by “white-hot debris”. The reporter did not question or explain how this came to be. While it is consistent with other reports of pools of molten steel still being “white-hot” many weeks after the disintegration of 3 of the World Trade Center towers, it is not consistent with the official story that the towers fell into rubble as a result of jet fuel fires.
The 10th Anniversary Edition of Vic Sadot's “9/11 Truth & Justice Songs” is posted to Last FM with a number of free mp3 downloads! It will soon be posted at CD Baby and affiliated sites such as iTunes, Rhapsody, and many more. A brief description blurb on each song follows below the Last FM Link to the CD.
9/11 Truth & Justice Songs - 10th Anniversary Edition by Vic Sadot
1 Ballad of William Rodriguez (5:18) - Based on a 2005 interview Vic did with WTC janitor Willie Rodriguez about his experience on the day of 9/11/01, for which he became a natianally acclaimed rescue hero. His testimoney to the 9/11 Commission that he heard explosions below sub level one before the towers were hit by a jet above was excluded.
2 Cheney's in the Bunker (4:49) – A song inspired by Secretary of Transportation, Norman Mineta's testimony, which was
omitted from the final 9/11 Commission report. A young man was repeatedly asking Vice President Cheney, "Do the orders still stand?" Mineta said that he arrived in the Presidential Bunker at 9:20 am where he found Cheney in charge and had already issued some orders. The 9/11 Commission report claims that Cheney did not arrive until 9:58 am.
3 Blowback or Bloody Treason (6:19) – Inspired by former LA detective Michael Ruppert's 2004 book, “Crossing the Rubicon", which asked the standard crime scene questions: Who had the means, motive, and opportunity? And who stood to benefit from the crime? “Blowback” is a term used to describe retaliation for US policies.
4 Trouble in the Rubble (5:30) – Written after reading an Associated Press article by Amy Westfeldt in the Oct 20, 2006 Washington Post about a “scientific study” claiming that 9/11 rescue dogs were not suffering as badly as the human first- responders were in the aftermath of their work in the toxic air and rubble of the World Trade Center. The reporter states that some dogs had their feet burned by a “white hot debris”, but she fails to question what the molten debris actaully was.
5 Ballad of Mohammed Atta (6:01) This song came from reading the interviews from Oct 15 & 21, 2001 by Liz Jackson with Ralph Bodenstein and Volker Hauth, two German university friends of Atta who did a study project with him in Cairo, Egypt. The interviews were on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and were posted on the internet. They contrasted sharply with the reports of Daniel Hopsicker in “Welcome To Terrorland”, meaning Florida, where someone named Mohammed Atta partied openly prior to 9/11, and received training at Pensacola US Naval Station and Huffman Aviation.
6 Mad Cowboy Disease (4:27) - A humorous take on the wars, irrationality, brutality, and hubris resulting from the exploitation of 9/11 and other lies. At the inaugeration ball, “There must have been some mad cow on the menu after all!”
7 Ballad of Pat Tillman (5:16) - Shortly after 9/11 the famous Arizona football hero from San Jose, California, enlisted with his brother Kevin in the US Army Rangers. He served in Iraq & Afghanistan before being killed. The Pentagon made up a phony story about Tillman's death to continue to use him as recruitment poster boy. The circumstances of his death became extremely controversial as the Tillman family pressed on for the truth. The story changed from a combat "glory story" to a death by "friendly fire" story. Even later, the Army coroner's report was released to the Associated Press. That report said that Pat Tillman died by "3 bullets to the forehead at 10 yards range". The last story was either greeted with ridicule or completely ignored by the corporate press.
8 Tell John Yoo That Torture Is A Crime! (5:03) - A "folk process" update of the old Civil Rights song, "We Shall Not Be Moved", with Code Pink Golden Gate chorus singing along for torture accountability! Yoo wrote legal briefs to justify torture while on leave from UC Berkeley and in the service of the Bush-Cheney regime's Department of “Justice”.
9 Love Me I'm A Liberal (4:16) – A Vic Sadot update of Phil Ochs' 1966 classic on liberal posturing includes 9/11 themes.
10 Broadside Balladeer (3:55) – A Tribute to the late-great Phl Ochs, who Vic met and interviewed in May of 1973 in Washington, DC after Phil's return from travels in South America where he met Victor Jara. The song was written in 1977, one year after Phil Ochs' death. Ochs had over 70 songs published in Broadside magaaine. Many references to his song titles are weaved into the story. Vic later broke the story of “PHIL OCHS FBI FILE” in Broadside magazine in 1982.
11 Nightmare of New Orleans (3:04) – On August 26, 2005 Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. The "Nightmare of New Orleans" was written by Vic Sadot as a Cajun blues song. Sadot says that the song is about the criminally negligent response to Hurricane Katrina before, during, and after that catastrophe. There were grave warnings of possible disaster for New Orleans in the Times Picayune and National Geographic in the year before the tragic and deadly event. For many Americans, the militarization of the rescue mission was one of the most disconcerting aspects of the Bush-Cheney regime's response to the flooding. FEMA even hired mercenaries from Blackwater to "restore order".
12 London Calling 70705 (4:06) – On the London terror events of July 7, 2005 based on films Ludicrous Diversion”, “Mind the Gap”, and “7/07 Ripple Effect”. One of the oddest reported matters came from interviews given by Peter Powers of Visor Consultants, a former British Intelligence officer, in which he claimed to have been conducting “drills” for “corporate sponsors” at the very same four locations where the attacks occurred. What are the mathematical odds of that?
13 Are You A Citizen (5:00) – A strident Cajun waltz style salute to struggle co-written with Cindy Hubschmitt. Vic sings and plays acoutstic guitar and Cajun 10 button accordion on this song. The song sweeps through past historical struggles as precidents that show that popular social justice movements can win significant changes and recognition of rights. Rob Sadot plays a masterful guitar!
14 Oh What A Day (4:26) – Written on the day of the Inaugeration of the first Black President of the United States and to celebrate the departure of the Bush-Cheney regime. We were hoping for a “CHANGE” like the Roosevelt's socialist programs known as the “New Deal”. Instead we are getting the policies of the old war profiteering and torture regime instead and more dismantling of the old "New Deal". We need leaders who serve JUSTICE, not those who serve the money masters, media manipulators, and corporate empire representatives who bomb and plunder in our name.
15 Simple Song of Freedom (5:58) – A Vic Sadot update of Bobby Darin's wonderful 1969 anthem to struggle.
16 Ride the Wind (5:33) – This song was originally released as the title cut on a 1988 Crazy Planet Band LP. It was written about children having nightmares about a nuclear holocaust. Time has made this song seem to be more about the “War on Terror”. Either way, there is nowhere to hide. We shall overcome together or not at all!

UC Berkeley Excludes Peter Dale Scott, Includes John Yoo in List of “9/11 Faculty Experts”

UC Berkeley Excludes Professor Peter Dale Scott Off Its List of “9/11 Faculty Experts” -

UC Berkeley Includes Torture Briefs Professor John Yoo On the List

The University of California at Berkeley has endorsed 20 of its professors as "faculty experts" on 9/11 with the following statement: "For journalists covering the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, UC Berkeley has more than 20 available experts on the tragedy’s impacts and implications." Read the full press release: http://berkeley.edu/news/extras/sept11/index.shtml

Most notably on the list is "Constitutional Law" professor John Yoo, who took a leave from university duties to serve the Bush-Cheney administration by writing legal briefs to justify the use of torture in the wake of the crimes of murder and destruction on 9/11. Of the 20 “9/11 experts” on the university list, Yoo appears to be the only one with a book with 9/11 in the title, “Confronting Terror: 9/11 and the Future of American National Security” due out in Sept 2011, according to the press release.

Most notably missing from the list is UC Berkeley professor Peter Dale Scott, who has been among the most outspoken critics of the "official conspiracy" story given to the public by the Bush-Cheney administration and the 9/11 Commission Report written by Executive Director Philip Zelikow.

Yoo actually worked against the separation of powers in that his legal briefs claimed that the President had the power to take the country to war, to bomb anywhere, including US cities, and that he could order the use of torture. How can this man be considered a "Constitutional" law professor or an expert on the events of 9/11? His prior book, “Crisis and Command”, is an apologia for all presidents who violated the US Constitution and Bill of Rights throughout the history of the United States. Yoo is a devotee of Cheney's all powerful “unitary presidency”.

Peter Dale Scott’s work on 9/11 was published by the prestigious University of California Press, notably “The Road to 9/11”. Other Scott authored books include, “Fueling America's War Machine: Deep Politics and the CIA's Global Drug Connection”, 'The War Conspiracy: JFK, 9/11, and the Deep Politics of War”, “9/11 & American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out”, edited by David Ray Griffin and Peter Dale Scott. Here is Dr. Peter Dale Scott's web site.

http://peterdalescott.net/

The Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance applauds the work of Peter Dale Scott. We call for his inclusion on the UC-Berkeley list of "faculty experts" on 9/11. We also recommend the writings of Dr. David Ray Griffin, who has 10 authored books about 9/11. His latest release is titled “9/11 Ten Years Later: When State Crimes Against Democracy Succeed”.

http://davidraygriffin.com

Furthermore, we recommend SF Bay Area professor Dr. Paul W. Rea, who has previously published “Seeking the Truth about 9/11”. He has the just released “Mounting Evidence: Why We Need a New Investigation of 9/11”, which reflects years of research and provides an insightful and incisive overview of essential 9/11 issues. There will be a book release celebration on Sept 21 at 7 pm at Humanist Hall, 390 - 27th St, Oakland, CA, 94612 between Telegraph & Broadway.

NATO, US AFRICOM, "ICC" Kangaroo Court, Plot Regime Change by Bombing Libya & Inserting Neo-Colonial Armies onto the African Continent

NATO, US AFRICOM, "ICC" Kangaroo Court, Plot Regime Change by Bombing Libya & Inserting Neo-Colonial Armies onto the African Continent

Truth Troubadour Facebook Post - "New World Order": NATO, US AFRICOM, "ICC" Kangaroo Court, Plot Regime Change by Bombing Libya & Inserting Neo-Colonial Armies onto the African Continent! "African Union" gets Exclusion & Humilation in Spite of Rare Show of Unity, much as in Ivory Coast UN Intervention! Long Live African Independence!"

Follow "Truth Troubadour" on Twitter!

http://twitter.com/#!/truthtroubadour

Luis Moreno-Ocampo, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), brazenly and openly revealed the Neo-Colonial purpose behind "charges" against Revolutionary Libya’s Gaddafi. This is indeed a "criminal court". Solidarity with the Libyan Revolution that kicked out foreign military bases and used the oil revenues for the people's education, housing, health care, and infrastructure!

Highlights of James Cogen report on ICC:

http://www.wsws.org/articles/2011/jun2011/liby-j30.shtml

"The ICC stands exposed as an instrument of war and great power neo-colonialism. The US government, along with a host of the regimes it sponsors, such as Israel, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen and Iraq, are guilty of the very crimes that the court alleges Gaddafi has committed―the killing of civilians to suppress political opposition. Ocampo, as WikiLeaks revealed, blocked any investigations by the ICC into the numerous war crimes committed by the United States in Iraq."

"The NATO member-states are growing increasingly frustrated by the lack of any prospect that the disorganised and undisciplined forces of the Transitional National Council will gain a decisive ground victory. Thus NATO is ever more openly pursuing the criminal policy of assassination, seeking to kill Gaddafi in the hope his successors will capitulate and surrender.

"On April 30, NATO aircraft killed Gaddafi’s youngest son and three of his grandchildren in a murderous attack on one of his family’s private residences. On June 20, at least 19 civilians, including nine children, were slaughtered by missile onslaught on a residential compound owned by a close associate of Gaddafi. The attack was almost certainly motivated by NATO’s belief that the Libyan leader was taking refuge in the building."

The Ballad of Mohamed Atta - What is Myth? What is True?

The Ballad of Mohamed Atta - What is Myth? What is True?

Original Posting: http://911blogger.com/news/2011-06-07/ballad-mohamed-atta-whats-myth-what-true

The Ballad of Mohamed Atta – Vic Sadot at Last FM on “9/11 Truth & Justice Songs”. Great violin by Vic's buddy Eric Golub. This song was written after reading the Australian Broadcast Corporation interviews by Liz Jackson with Ralph Bodenstein & Volker Hauth who were buddies with Mohamed Atta in their college days. They simply could not imagine him being the person described in the US Press. Research by Daniel Hopsicker of Mad Cow News “Welcome to Terrorland” revealed a Mohamed devoid of religion & addicted to sex & drugs, who had Visas & US military training at Huffman Aviation & Pensacola Naval Base in Florida. What is myth? What is true? http://www.last.fm/music/Vic+Sadot/_/Ballad+of+Mohamed+Atta

Links are provided below the lyrics for two Australian Broadcasting Corporation interviews by Liz Jackson in October 2001, and to Daniel Hopsicker's reseach in Florida right after the 9/11 attacks, "Welcome To Terrorland". The glaring opposite characterizations of Mohamed Atta were the genesis of this reflective song for truth and justice. Was the "suspect" possibly an "asset" or a "patsy"? The chord progression is a simple strum of this chord progression: G Am D G 3 times with the last line being G Am D Em. The song is offered as a free downloadable mp3 at Last FM where Vic writes blogs about topical songwriting and founded the group called "Broadside Balladeers". See link below.

The Ballad of Mohamed Atta

His name was Mohamed El-Amir Atta
Cutest babe in the world to his ma and his pa
They were hard working people… did all that they could…
To teach him right from wrong like any good parent would
He was born in the land of King Tut’s pyramid
Did he grow up to do what they say that he did?
Did he murder 3,000 by flying a plane…
Into the World Trade Center with rage in his brain?

When he was a young boy, he did well in school
He was taught to be kind in a world that was cruel
His father and mother raised him to be good
What it meant to be Muslim was well understood
A generous, peace-loving community
But all that was threatened by the economy
By the great “western system”… the greed and suffering it sows
By the great “New World Order” they seek to impose

He studied Urban Planning in old Germany
He dreamed ancient Egypt could be modern and free
He worked with Ralph Bodenstein and Volker Hauth
It was winter ’94 when they flew east and south
They’d landed a project in “Old Town Cairo”
They were so young and hopeful so long ago
They gathered information on the economy
On the effects of decisions on the people they’d see

On historic preservation, polluting industry
High class corruption and vast poverty
Strawberries for export instead of wheat for the poor
It had to be imported from the great US store
Storm troopers were storming the old neighborhoods
Knockin’ down doors… Killing just cause they could
The Egyptian, Israeli, and US ruling class
Made plans that were clashing with the citizen mass

And up from the masses there rose with a rush
A great wave of resistance they would brutally crush
They rounded up thousands, imprisoned them too
They tortured and murdered like state terrorists do
Mohamed begged his colleagues, “Please do not speak out”
It might get him “criminalized”… No job come about…
Cause he dreamed social planning could be done with a heart
But the wolves of the world would soon tear that apart!

In Florida he was a drunkard, a “covorter” about
Buying sex with the call girls… No longer devout!
In Pensacola US Naval Station…
And Huffman Aviation, what “training” was done?
How’d he get a Visa to get in the USA?
Who enabled this danger, and who paid his way?
And what was his mission? Who was he working for?
Was he really a hijacker? How can we be sure?

Yes, what happened later to the kid who could care?
Was his growing awareness just too much to bare?
Did he “crack up”? … or “link up” with a very bad crowd?
Was he an Al Qaida asset that the CIA endowed?
Yes, what happened later to Mohamed Atta?
Named as “chief suspect” of a terror fatwah
But was it a “fatwah” or a “special ops” design?
For who had the means to pull off such a crime?

His name was “Mohamed El-Amir Atta
Can we tell the truth from the propaganda?
Was he an “attacker” or a “patsy” to blame?
Was somebody else maybe even using his name?
His name was “Mohamed El-Amir Atta
Can you tell the truth from the propaganda?
If you get your “truth” from the war profiteers,
The truth of your prophets may well disappear!

Storm troopers are storming the old neighborhoods
In Bagdad and Basra and Fallujah there’s blood!
Compradors of Iraq and the US ruling class
Made plans to wage war on the great Muslim mass
Do you know what they’re planning to do in your name?
In the name of “Democracy”, it’s a sham and a shame!
‘Cause all of this killing comes out of the claims…
Of the “Official Story” and whoever it blames!

Courage To Resist - Music Video for Bradley Manning

Courage To Resist - Music Video in support of Bradley Manning, WikiLeaks, & GI war resisters! Private Bradley Manning was charged with the release of a secret video of US pilots slaughtering Iraqi civilians. Wikileaks released the video and it went viral on the internet under the name of "Collateral Murder Video". Apparently, the US government considers it a crime to expose war crimes and cover-ups of crimes. The organization known as "Courage To Resist" supports people in the US military who have come to believe that they were lied to and that the wars they are being sent to fight are illegal. Nicole Mitchell and Marc Hall are just two of the many GI's who have taken the path of resistance to wars for corporate empire. For more information, visit www.couragetoresist.org

Questions about the Death and Dumping at Sea of Osama bin Laden

Osama bin Laden: Dead or Alive? If he is dead, when did he die?
Was he really the "mastermind of 9/11", or not?
How can we know the truth?

One thing we know is that Osama bin Laden was a CIA asset used to recruit Muslim fundamentalists to fight the Russians in Afghanistan. What else do we know for sure? Why would Obama claim to have ordered a kill on Osama, and then dispose of his body at sea? Does that sound like the American way of justice? 

Dr. David Ray Griffin published “Osama bin Laden Dead or Alive” in 2009. It's a good read today! Evidence of fraud is abundant. The questions he raises need to be answered. http://noliesradio.org/archives/3230



The Corporate media spin machine has cranked out an avalanche of "reports" on the "daring" execution of a supposedly-alive Osama bin Laden hiding in a “million dollar mansion” in Pakistan. The story of the amazing commando raid may end up being another high-tech production from the same folks who brought us the lies about Pat TillmanJessica Lynch, & WMD in Iraq. In the case of Pat Tillman, the "official glory story" was that he got killed in a shoot out with the Taliban. Later, as the Tillman family bravely pressed on and on for the truth, the story was amended to be "friendly fire". Then the military coroner report revealed that the evidence showed that Pat Tillman was shot "by 3 bullets to the forehead at 10 yards range". Ignored AP story:






In the case of Jessica Lynch, she refused to go along with the "official glory story". She testified to Congress that she was wounded by an explosion, not in a firefight. Iraqi hospital authorities informed the US military that she was alive and well and under their care. But the Pentagon sent a commando unit in there to "rescue the heroic soldier". Was the truth less important than having a recruitment poster boy and girl to use to lie to young people about corporate resource & domination wars?

In the aftermath of 9/11, we were all in "shock & awe" as the media reported “explosions” at the WTC (World Trade Center) and the Pentagon. This was rapidly revised to the "official story" that the jet fuel from the planes that hit the two tallest towers of the WTC complex "melted the steel" and caused their collapse. It's against the laws of physics! Both Dan Rather and Peter Jennings mused aloud as it was happening that the only way that steel frame buildings could be brought down by fire would be to "get at the inner structures" as in a "demolition". What's worse, the WTC buildings did not just collapse. They disintegrated to dust in 10 seconds! Building 7, which was not hit by a plane, did so in 7 seconds at around 5:30 that evening. In fact, on Sept 10, 2001 Dan Rather reported on CBS that Osama bin Laden was in a Pakistani military hospital getting dialysis treatments for kidney failure. Read about that here:


If you are asking yourself how "Muslim terrorists" could get access to the 3 WTC buildings to destroy them by demolition, that is a legitimate question. It also leads to the possibility that others would more likely have such access. Kevin Ryan, who worked for the company, Underwriters Laboratories Inc, that certified the steel in the WTC, lost his job when he raised questions about the government's NIST report. He worked with a team of scientists associated with “Scholars for 9/11 Truth” to examine dust from the WTC. They published a scientific “peer review” paper that was completely ignored by the corporate media because it showed photos of microscopic particles that indicate that "nano thermate" was used in the demolition.

A team of scientist and engineer published a for peer review paper in the Open Chemical Physics Journal: Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe by Niels H. Harrit, Jeffrey Farrer, Steven E. Jones, Kevin R. Ryan, Frank M. Legge, Daniel Farnsworth, Gregg Roberts, James R. Gourley, and Bradley R. Larsen. Read about the peer review paper here at: http://www.ae911truth.org/en/news-section/41-articles/351-advanced-pyrotechnic-or-explosive-material-discovered-in-wtc-dust.html



Thermite is used in industrial demolitions. Adding sulfur makes it Thermate, which can melt steel. But only the US and some allied militaries would have access to "nano thermate". Kevin Ryan recently wrote an article on the question of access to the WTC. Interview with Kevin Ryan: "Demolition Access to the World Trade Center" on Guns & Butter on KPFA on 1-10-11. http://noliesradio.org/archives/28236



Bush and Cheney resisted having a Commission set up to investigate the events of 9/11 for almost two years. Only when victim family members, particularly a group known as "The Jersey Girls", pressed on for the truth, did they create a commission. Bush named National Security Director Condoleezza Rice's assistant, Philip Zelikow, to be Executive Director. A cover-up was predictable. Watch the movie about “The Jersey Girls”, "9/11: Press for Truth", & discuss it with friends & family: http://youtu.be/iMT2CHSvyGw



David Ray Griffin spent most of his life as a professor of theology. But once he began to investigate 9/11 he produced many good books on the subject and he has spoken all over the world about it. The "official story" was very useful propaganda in support of wars and repressive laws, which violate the Constitution. They are bad for Americans and even worse for the corporate empire's victims. This "Guns & Butter" interview with Dr. David Ray Griffin by Bonnie Faulkner on KPFA about his book "Osama Bin Laden Dead of Alive" was originally broadcast in 2009. It was especially timely to re-broadcast this on May 2, 2011, a day after President Obama made a speech stating that he ordered a special ops unit into Pakistan to execute Osama bin Laden and to dump the body into the ocean. The President claimed he gave the order to dump the body of Osama bin Laden into the ocean out of respect for Muslim practice. Is such an act not closer to Mafia practice than Muslim practice? It certainly makes it impossible to verify that bin Laden was the one killed and that that was his body that they dumped at sea! DNA could have been acquired long ago during one of bin Laden's hospital visits for kidney failure.

A Video Valentine for Bradley Manning by Code Pink Golden Gate Feb 14 2011




"A Valentine Video to Bradley Manning". The song was written for a demonstration on Jan 12, 2011 at Old Berkeley City Hall to support Bradley Manning, wikileaks, and to close Guantanamo prison and release all the prisoners who have already been cleared. "Courage To Resist" is the name of the organization in support of US military people who have turned against war or who have become whistle-blowers about war crimes. Holly Harwood, Coordinator of Code Pink Golden Gate, came up with the idea of a video Valentine for Bradley Manning. She requested Vic Sadot's new studio recording of "Courage To Resist" with the wonderful viola of Eric Golub accompanying. It was recorded at Robot Envy Studio in Berkeley by owner/sound engineer Sammy Fielding on Feb 10, 2011. Many activists in the San Francisco Bay Area signed the Valentine posters for Bradley at recent events like the Code Pink march on Golden Gate bridge on Feb 14 and the Social Justice Committee's Country Joe Open Mic on Feb 11. Their statements in support of Bradley are nicely intermixed with recent photos of people in the Bay Area taking their message to the streets. Blowing the whistle on war crimes is a duty, not a crime! Free Bradley Manning now! Prosecute the war criminals and torturers! http://www.couragetoresist.org
