I am not Charlie Hebdo! Je suis Helric Frédou!



News Report from “La Manche Libre” in Normandy, France. Published on 01/09/2015. FRENCH text translated by Vic Sadot: “Cherbourg: Helric Frédou, former Cherbourg police Commissioner was pronounced dead – Vibrant emotions in Cherbourg. The former Central Commissioner at Limoges, well-known to police, but also to judges and elected officials, has committed suicide." See the article in French at the link below.

More translation of the La Manche Libre news, which stated: "Helric Frédou, 44, who was central Commissioner of Cherbourg from 2010 to 2012, has committed suicide in his office of the judicial police of Limoges, during the night of Wednesday to Thursday 7th January to the 8th. A gesture of despair, he did it with his own service weapon after being asked to have his staff interview two people in connection with the investigation into the attack against Charlie Hebdo. He left no letter or information explaining his actions. The news of his death caused outrage in Cherbourg, Normandy, where the image of Mr. Frédou is still present, an image of a very professional officer and close to the people."



It has been reported that Comissioner Frédou last interviewed the family of the famous French Minister in the Sarkozy regime named Jeanette Bougrab. This is one of the outstanding questions about Comissioner Frédou's untimely death at age 44 while playing a central role in a pivotal historic event for France. Bougrab first claimed that she had been in a three year relationship with Stéphane Charbonnier, and in another interview she said it was a one year relationship. The governing corporate French media called her the "wife", the "companion", and the "lover" of Charbonnier, who they affectionately call “Charb” more often than by his actual name, such is the “objectivity” (lol) of the corporate tabloid press in the post 9/11 era. Bougrab grabbed many headlines and was interviewed all over the French media starting the very day of Charbonnier's alleged death. According to several news reports, Stéphane Charbonnier's family rejected her claims and asked her to not attend the funeral. Serious French journalists are looking into all of this! We will have to count on them to "Save the Republic!" However, like in the USA, there has been a steady corporate consolidation of the European media into a few controlling groups that seek a global corporate empire government. How can we tell the truth from the propaganda? Who really killed Helric Frédou? Who will pursue the answer to this question?
I am false flag manipulated!
Then there's the scene where a "Muslim police officer" is shot point blank in the head while laying on the sidewalk. But there is no recoil nor any blood. So that was later edited out of all news coverage on the grounds that it was too horrible to show. Yet later there is a reporter covering a scene at which the sidewalk is covered in blood but in a somewhat different location. That's a bit over-covered in videos to the point that it overshadows some more important anomalies in the official story. See Red Silver J at TeamWakeEmUp YouTube for a short documentary that gives good coverage of such aspects of the event. 

Was this the French equivalent of 9/11/01 in the USA and 7/07/05 in the UK? Will France lose its remaining civil liberties with the passage of similar repressive police state legislation? Will the event be used to further finance the terrorists in Syria already being funded by NATO? After all, the two main actors in this terror story were French citizens who went to Syria to be with the "moderate" terrorists, and were well known to French authorities.

“Je Suis Hypocrite”: Enemies of ‘Freedom of Expression” 
Hijack “Charlie” in Paris - By Patrick Henningsen in 21st Centuryyy Global Research, January 13, 2015. Originally published in “21st Century Wire”.  



“Hypocrits Shine On Paris Cat Walk” 1-12-15 by Pepe Escobar. “The Paris unity march attended by over 40 world leaders has revealed the Western "double standard" approach concerning the freedom of speech and the battle against terrorism. What an unrivalled parade of political hypocrisy. The sight of General Hollande, Conqueror of Mali; David of Arabia Cameron; Angela “Let Eastern Ukrainians die” Merkel; Ahmed “Assad must go” Davutoglu; even King Sarko the First, Liberator of Libya; not to mention Bibi “Final Solution” Netanyahu – all marching for “freedom”, “free speech” and “civilization” against barbarism in the streets of Paris would make every stalwart of Western intellectual tradition, from Diogenes to Voltaire and from Nietzsche to Karl Kraus, cringe in disgust.

French comedian “Dieudonné arrested over Facebook post on Paris gunman” – The Guardian UK from Agence France-Presse 1-14-15. Quote: “Notorious French comedian Dieudonné M’bala M’bala has been arrested for being an “apologist for terrorism” after suggesting on Facebook that he sympathised with one of the Paris gunmen, a judicial source has said. Prosecutors had opened the case against him on Monday after he wrote “Tonight, as far as I’m concerned, I feel like Charlie Coulibaly” – mixing the slogan “Je suis Charlie”, used in tribute to the journalists killed at magazine Charlie Hebdo, with a reference to gunman Amédy Coulibaly. Dieudonné was arrested on Wednesday. French comedian accused of justifying terrorism after linking attacker to tribute slogan by writing ‘I feel like Charlie Coulibaly’…” 

 Bienvenue dans la Dieudosphère, le site officiel de Dieudonné


Analyst draws on 9/11 investigations to illuminate what’s likely behind the attack on the bigoted Charlie Hebdo French cartoon journal. “Paris terrorist atrocity: a false flag,an engineered confrontation for geo-political goals” by Analyst Nikolai Starikov sorts through the verifiable facts and unverifiable “factoids” in the media about the event and the “Je suis Charlie Hebdo” media campaign in the aftermath of the attacks. Posted Jan 18, 2015 in the Syrian Free Press.  Starikov's style is as much detective work as it is journalism dealing with historical context. Excerpts: “A group of people burst into the magazine’s offices, killed people, then calmly hid themselves. In the “generous” tradition of terrorists, they left behind their ID at the locus, the French authorities told us. [As always.] What were those brothers thinking? It’s not a big job for the criminal investigators, if their ID was left behind ! Recall New York, 2001. The terrorists left behind personal documents in their autos and leaflets calling for jihad. Then, when the planes smashed into the twin towers, everything was vaporized, including the passengers’ DNA, the aircraft engines – nothing remained. But their undamaged passports, by careful planning, fell out in such a way as to be found. What’s going on here? What kind of terrorists always leave their calling card at the crime scene…500 people were thrown at that storming – 500! Even tanks were brought in – there are photographs – imagine? Tanks against two guys. The question arises: two guys, they are surrounded, there is reason to suspect their involvement in a terrorist attack. It’s a very high-profile event, to put it mildly. Should they be taken alive? Of course they should... Against that background, on the next day following the killing of these two brothers, the investigator on the case shot himself in his office. Remember, this is a high-profile story. What kind of investigator do you put on a case like this? The best… The investigator who took on the case, it appears, was most likely an honest, decent person. Once he saw that someone was being made a scapegoat, he made some statements or took some actions, as a result of which he was shot dead with his own standard-issue weapon… Half an hour after the terrorist attack, the French President arrived at the location of this tragedy. This, in principle, is impossible. Because there could be a weapons cache, bombs, trip-wires, snipers, terrorists, you name it. Question: what is the point of his going there? To show how bold he is? He is the head of state… Imagine the joy of the terrorists at killing the President! I mean, that would be a dream for those terrorists. But for some reason the President doesn’t think about that, freely arrives and makes some announcements there. That means he had a security guarantee. Who could have given such guarantees? Only those who carried out these terrorist attacks…
Nikolai Starikov's analysis questions why President Hollande violated normal security protocols by going to the scene of the assault on the two veterans of the Syrian jihadi intervention now allegedly wreaking havoc in Paris. " It has to be understood that this is an instrument. It is not an independent structure, fighting against the West. It is an instrument in the hands of the West. It’s just that the West has to strike itself sometimes, in order to show an enemy to their society… Then what was the point of the march which followed? To rally society… Now they have printed 3 million copies of the insulting caricatures. What for? What does freedom of speech have to do with it? What the caricaturists had done is very nasty. Those who killed them did something even more nasty. You can’t support either side in this conflict. They just have different degrees of guilt: Killing people is a far worse crime than drawing provocative caricatures. As a result of the march, they have created an even greater provocation in the country and in all Europe, in order that this tension CONTINUES. Why is that necessary?... The economy will go downhill, not because a few journalists were killed, but because the type of economy which was built by the West is suffocating from the colossal government debt. That’s why… They need to somehow explain the ongoing natural processes of degradation of life in West. If the West fails to spark a major war, fails to destroy Russia and China, their life will become unequivocally worse. And for that they need someone to blame... Since 2001 they have been trying to present the Muslim world as the enemy.”

Excerpt: “Notice that the last two false flag operations in recent months—the false flagging of North Korea over Sony and the film The Interview, and the Charlie Hebdo deception—both revolve around the ideas of “free speech” and “free expression”. This is a phantom battle, choreographed by those who could not care less for “freedoms”. In fact, the masses are being manipulated towards supporting war and mass murder, and police state agendas that specifically curtail freedoms. What more creative way to take away freedoms than to make people give them up voluntarily? The hordes of American citizens that supported the “war on terrorism” to “defend freedom” got the Patriot Act, which gutted what liberties they had; the Constitution and the Bill of Rights will not be restored. This process continues all over the world. 



The first issue of Charlie Hebdo following the alleged massacre featured 
a goofy looking Prophet Mohammad shedding a tear and saying "All is Forgiven" 
and "I am Charlie". Sales are in the millions of dollars.

From an article in French at a site called "Chaos Contrôlé" (Contolled Chaos from the strategy of tension) jeudi 8 janvier 2015 en Tous les clowns qui disent défendre la liberté d’expression étaient où quand le Gouvernement lynchait l’humoriste Dieudonné? (All of the clowns who speak of defending liberty of expression were where when the Government lynched the comedian Dieudonné?)

"It is an exceptionally barbaric act", says French President François Hollande. 
"That's not what you say when you send them to my homeland", 
says President Bashar Al-Assad of Syria. 


Jeannette Bougrab was clearly given far more attention by the governing media than the mysterious death of French Police Commissioner Helric Frédou. She was the TV and radio talk show feature and the star of the tabloid news for several days after the bizarre and questionable event. Hopefully, more serious investigations will unearth what really happened in Paris and what actually happened to the popular Monsieur Helric Frédou.


I am not Charlie Hebdo! 
I am Helric Frédou in search of the Truth!

Police Commissioner Involved in Charlie Hebdo Investigation “Commits Suicide”. Total News Blackout! Michel Chossudovsky “Police Commissioner Helric Fredou,  Number Two Police Officer of the Regional Service of France’s Judicial Police (JP), Limoges, (Haute-Vienne), ‘committed suicide on the night of Wednesday to Thursday at the police station.’ …  There has been a total news blackout. The French media decided or was instructed not to cover the incident. Not news worthy? So much for “Je suis Charlie” and ”Freedom of Expression” in journalism. Likewise, the Western media including all major news services (AP, AFP, Reuters, Deutsche Welle, etc)  have not covered the issue.

Truth Troubadour Blogs end with a Truth Troubadour song selection. For this blog it will have to be “Full Spectrum Dominance” - A Free song at SoundCloud! “Beware of those who joke about sending in the drones!” because "Full spectrum dominance is the policy… Making systemic violence and tyranny… Full spectrum dominance makes us all the enemy! But a better world is possible! This ain't the way it has to be!"

Vic Sadot MLK Day 2015 Interview by Kevin Barrett on No Lies Radio "Truth Jihad" Show


Dr. Kevin Barrett, a Ph.D. Arabist-Islamologist, is one of America’s best-known critics of the War on Terror. Vic Sadot and Kevin Barrett first met at the “Truth Emergency Convergence” at American University in the summer of 2005. On the Truth Jihad show on No Lies Radio Kevin featured six of Vic’s topical songs and they talked about how each song came to be written. The original broadcast was at 8 AM on the MLK National Holiday on January 19, 2015. The show kicks off with Vic’s song “An Act of State: The Execution of Martin Luther King”, which Vic named for the title of the William Pepper book about his 1999 Memphis trial victory won on behalf of the King family published by Verso Books in 2003. The other Vic Sadot songs aired on this show were mainly from the September 11, 2011 released CD “9/11 Truth & Justice Songs” by Vic Sadot and one new song only released at this time at Sound Cloud by Broadside Balladeer. After the MLK song we hear The Ballad of William Rodriguez, Cheney’s in the Bunker, Trouble in the Rubble, The Ballad of Mohammed Atta, and Full Spectrum Dominance.

http://vicsadot.com/2015/01/22/martin-luther-king-day-2015-interview-with-vic-sadot-by-kevin-barrett-on-no-lies-radios-truth-jihad

From William Pepper to Vic: “Thank you for taking the time to put some important history into a ballad. This, of course, is the role of the Balladeer without whom much of history would be lost, especially in our time with the consolidation of control of the mainstream media. I am grateful." Bill Pepper 

William Pepper was contacted by Martin Luther King shortly after publishing an article in Ramparts magazine with graphic and disturbing photos showing the effects of the Vietnam War on the children of Vietnam. Martin wept when he saw those photos and he vowed to stop the war. He invited young William Francis Pepper to speak to his congregation. Years later when Pepper had become a lawyer, the King family engaged his services in a successful civil suit in a Memphis court in 1999. They won that trial by a unanimous conviction by 6 white and 6 black jurors of former Memphis police officer Loyd Jowers and "un-named government co-conspirators". Vic's song highlights some of the more astounding things that came out as evidence in the trial that were covered in the book by William Pepper for which Vic used the exact same title for his song in order to promote the book.

Video of An Act of State: The Execution of Martin Luther King(2013) by Vic Sadot on Truth Troubadour Channel. New updated video for this song with a new soundtrack featuring Eric Golub on viola! The song is based on the book of the same title that was written by King family lawyer, William Pepper. The book tells the story of the trial that Pepper won on behalf of the King family in 1999 in a Memphis court where a jury of 6 black and 6 white jurors unanimously found Loyd Jowers and unnamed government conspirators guilty of murdering Martin Luther King. The King family had long determined that James Earl Ray was not the lone gunman in an act of hate, but rather that Ray was a patsy in a conspiracy to decapitate the unifying justice movement that Dr King represented. Loyd Jowers, a former Memphis cop, was the owner of the restaurant across the street from the Lorraine Motel where MLK was gunned down in broad daylight while in support of the struggle of the sanitation workers union for decent wages. Rather than an act of hate, the execution of Martin Luther King was an act of state. The soundtrack was recorded in Berkeley by Sammy Fielding of Robot Envy Studio. The beautiful viola work is by Eric Golub. Singer-songwriter Vic Sadot is on the vocals and acoustic guitar using a gentle finger picking style.

A Hearty Salute to the Political Awareness Work of 9/11 Truth Activist Tod Fletcher

The NO LIES RADIO Live Stream Audio from the Saturday, Nov 22, 2014 “Tod Fletcher & Susan Peabody Memorial Gathering” in Historic Fellowship Hall in Berkeley, CA is now posted! (1:36:33) One of the highlights was the tribute delivered by David Ray Griffin, the dean of 9/11 Truth authors, to Tod Fletcher, who served as one of his main editors and was always Griffin’s his stalwart intellectual comrade and champion. The transcript of Dr. Griffin’s statement is also published there  http://noliesradio.org/archives/91888

There is no doubt that Tod Fletcher would want to be remembered as the major researcher, writer, editor, and speaker that he was in the global 9/11 Truth & Justice movement. Tod was an editor for David Ray Griffin books. He occasionally was a stand-in for Griffin when the acclaimed theologian and 9/11 scholar could not make a radio interview due to illness. 

Tod's last interview on Bonnie Faulkner's "Guns & Butter" Radio Show on KPFA was on Sept 3, 2014. It is archived at KPFA and at NoLiesRadio (link below). The lives and the passing of Tod and his wife Susan do indeed make a sad and difficult story. But it is also a story of true and dedicated love. 

See the moving tribute by David Ray Griffin: “In Memory of Tod Fletcher: A Life of Service (1952-2014)” David Ray Griffin in Global Research (Centre for Research on Globalization) 10-08-14. In that article David Ray Griffin quotes the late-great 9/11 Truth scholar Tod Fletcher in GlobalResearch.ca: "Having sensed earlier than most of us the falsity of the government’s explanation of what had happened on 9/11, he said: ‘I never fell for the official explanation. I’ve been researching and writing about 9/11 since 9/12’.”


The same article was published at the “Consensus 9/11” Panel website by Elizabeth Woodworth.

9/11 Researcher TodFletcher On the Smoking Gun Evidence for “the New Pearl Harbor” – Audio inSilver Doctors, an economic and trade trends review 9-15-14. Tod Fletcher comes into the show at 9 minutes into this 45 minute internet radio show. “To commemorate the 13th anniversary of 9/11 Doc and I decided it would be a good idea to introduce our audience to some of the highest quality 9/11 research available. Doc and I reached out to Tod Fletcher, who is one of 22 researchers that have come together to produce “9/11 Consensus Points”. Consensus911.org was founded by well know scholar Dr. David Ray Griffin and Elizabeth Woodworth.  Twenty-two researchers are involved in the project.  Each researcher reviews and ranks specific evidence independent from the rest of the team.  This methodology helps to prevent viewpoints of any given researcher coloring the perspective of other team members.  Each evidence subject is ranked and only evidence that passes the critical thinking litmus tests of 85% or more of the entire team makes the final cut as one of the “9/11 Consensus Points”. Mr. Fletcher started working with Dr. Griffin in 2004, and he’s an expert on many aspects of 9/11.  We hope you find our discussion with Mr. Fletcher insightful.” http://www.silverdoctors.com/911-researcher-tod-fletcher-on-the-smoking-gun-evidence-for-the-new-pearl-harbor

Kevin Ryan spoke on Tom Fletcher's "9/11 In Context" show, which aired 18 Nov 2010. This video provides photos to help understand it. Kevin is a chemist and researcher and speaks about his investigation into the WTC physical evidence, especially the WTC dust, as well as the complex network of corporate tenants of the WTC and the select group of "experts" who repeatedly surface to defend the Official Conspiracy Theory of the buildings' destruction. Kevin is one of the most productive researchers in the 9/11 truth movement. He worked for a division of Underwriters Laboratories. He spoke out on how the experiments could not replicate what happened to the WTCs on 9/11 and was fired for that. Since then he has been a sought after speaker for 9/11 Truth events.

From Jeff Strahl we received articles that Tod Fletcher wrote using pen names. Jeff wrote: “The first and third are credited to Max Kolskegg, the second to I. Berg, these are pseudonyms Tod used. There is also material on the website by Will Guest which predates 9/11, that’s also Tod.” Thanks to Tod’s longtime loyal friend and intellectual comrade Jeff Stahl for these contributions to this collection of Tod Fletcher’s work. Others can be sent in to TruthTroubadour@gmail.com

“9/11: A DesperateProvocation by US Capitalism”. Note: This article was first posted on January 24, 2002 at Indymedia. Although many new facts have come out since then, especially involving the physical evidence for controlled demolition of the Twin Towers and WTC7, the overview it provides is still useful, especially for its articulation of the class-war context of the attacks. [MK, 1/11/10] Posted by Max Kolskegg (Tod Fletcher).

“Henry the Great onSeptember 11”. Note: This article was first posted in April, 2002 at Indymedia  about Henry Kissinger’s letter to the Washington Post on “Tuesday, September 11, 2001; 9:04 PM”. “It was posted online at washingtonpost.com not much more than twelve hours after the first airliner struck the north tower of the World Trade Center”, writes I. Berg (Tod Fletcher). http://www.dailybattle.pair.com/2010/henry-the_great_on_september_11.shtml  

“9/11 In Context:Plans and Counter Plans”. Note: This text was written in October 2002, originally posted at QuestionsQuestions.net and Indymedia. It attempts to place the 9/11 attacks in their appropriate context, that is, as first expressed in an earlier article by Max Kolskegg (Tod Fletcher), as a desperate attempt by US capitalist powers to launch a new global offensive against the working class. (This article has been translated into Italian.) Excerpt: “Professor John McMurtry of the University of Guelph points to a deeper explanation of the difficulty people have had in analyzing all the evidence objectively. The crimes of September 11 were so shocking that for many, perhaps most people, even those on the Left, it is literally unthinkable that they could have been committed or intentionally permitted by the Bush administration or some secret operations group working for it:” http://www.dailybattle.pair.com/2010/911_in_context.shtml

More Information Sent In by Friends & Activist Associates of Tod Fletcher since November 21, 2014: 

In Memory of TodFletcher and Susan Peabody by Jeff Strahl at The Daily Battle 1-03-15. This article is written by Tod’s closest friend. It is based on his remarks at the Memorial Gathering of Nov. 22, 2014 in Fellowship Hall in Berkeley, CA. Two Excerpts: “Tod was a prominent member of the 9/11 Truth Movement. He became a member on 9/12/01, when he and i met as we had scheduled several days earlier to discuss his pending article on the Genoa 6-7 summit (posted on this site, under the name of Max Kolskegg). We of course discussed the previous day’s events, and agreed that the whole thing had the smell of an inside job. It took us a few months to fully grasp the extent, but our intent was clear… But Tod was much more than a Truth activist. Well before 9/11, Tod was part of the global anti-capitalist movement. From mid-1988 to September 2003, he and i met generally every week to discuss stuff we were reading together, to edit each other’s articles, talk about current events, etc. And we continued to be in close contact even after that time, when first work took him away and then when he had to move from the Berkeley area, where i still live, and did so to the very end of his life. He edited every single thing i ever wrote intended for public viewing, i did likewise…”

From Elizabeth Woodworth in Vancouver, BC, Canada we learned the following news: “Tod proofed Graeme MacQueen's new book on anthrax, "The 2001 Anthrax Deception:  The Case for a Domestic Conspiracy" 2014 published by Clarity Press of Atlanta, Georgia, USA.  http://www.claritypress.com/MacQueen.html

In the acknowledgements Graeme wrote: "Tod Fletcher copy-edited the manuscript twice, and gently forced me to explain myself more fully, opening up my dense writing so that it would cause the reader fewer headaches.  He also provided me with information that was new to me.  I am very grateful to him."

From Graeme MacQueen himself on Nov 22, 2014 in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada: Dear Vic: I’m sorry I couldn’t attend the memorial for Tod and Susan, but I watched the event and I want to thank you, and all the participants, for this moving and beautiful tribute to Tod. I never met Tod in person but we had lots of conversations though the internet, and gave his time selflessly to help me write a book. I found him every bit as generous and kind as others have said. And a special thanks to you for ending with Phil Ochs' song, Changes, which I have loved for years and which was just the right song for the moment--for the passing of these wonderful people. Well done and all the best, Graeme MacQueen

And from David Ray Griffin on Nov 22, 2014 in Santa Barbara, CA, USA: Graeme, Yes, Tod was more selfless than most Christians and Buddhists. And yes, "Changes" was the appropriate ending.

He disproved NIST's claims in three centrally important areas: the fictitious "10-story gouge" in the building's face; the extent and timing of fire on the 12th floor which NIST claimed caused the initial failure leading to collapse; and NIST's fraudulent diesel-fueled fire hypothesis. Chris has also been deeply involved in the work of AE911Truth, where he provides his expertise on WTC7. He shares his experiences of battling defenders of the official claims in online forums and notes their close connection to NIST. And Chris shares his ideas on how to enable the 9/11 truth movement to make the greatest impact going forward. http://youtu.be/pJsMEbvg07E

A series of 911blogger website attacks on David Ray Griffin’s scholarly research leadership and the rejection of its members to not allow Kevin Ryan to be a member there caught many in the movement by surprise. Tod is forthright in citing his close friendship and editorial collaboration with David Ray Griffin resulted in his being outspoken in challenging the disrespectful nature of the gang up on Griffin to make him “recant” various claims he had made in his 10 books about 9/11. Tod Fletcher had named named people at 911blogger in his prior criticisms of practices of the moderators at 911blogger. (Note: I was not allowed to publish a critique of the 2011 alleged death and dumping at sea of bin Laden that I had vetted through some NCA911TA meetings. One member of 911blogger could not tell me why it was rejected even when I offered to change something they think I got wrong. Why not publish it and let the discussions flow? Why moderate the other intellectuals in the movement at a site presenting itself as a sophisticated intellectual hub of the 9/11 Truth movement?)

The parties of the left were advocating public services like universal health care and free public education, and ending the Cold War in order to cut military spending. There were also large protests against the US war on Vietnam in all major cities of Europe at that time.

Truth Troubadour Vic Sadot interview by Bev Collins on 911Talks Show

Truth Troubadour Vic Sadot was interviewed by Bev Collins on the “911 Talks” Radio Show on Oct 2, 2014 from 5 - 6 pm. Bev Collins asked how certain songs came to be written that were eventually released on 9/11/11 as "9/11 Truth & Justice Songs". 


 Truth Troubadour Vic Sadot Interview with Bev Collins

Songs Featured with full airplay were: The Ballad of WilliamRodriguez at Truth Troubadour, Cheney’s in the Bunker, Blowback or Bloody Treason at Truth Troubadour YouTube, and Trouble inthe Rubble at Truth Troubadour YouTube. Vic told about Thierry Meyssan of Voltaire Network - Réseau Voltaire blog that questioned the Pentagon attack and David Ray Griffin's first writings as what moved him from the "blowback" to the "treason" perspective on 9/11. 

 Berkeley Broadside Balladeer Vic Sadot - Bev Collins Show

Biographically, Vic told of how he had been influenced by Phil Ochs and the singer-songwriters in Broadside: The National Topical Song Magazine started by Sis Cunningham and Gordon Friesen in the 60's Greenwich Village folk music scene, which was inspired by the Civil Rights and Anti-War struggles of the times. Vic had the honor of breaking the story of Phil Ochs FBI Files story on the cover of Broadside in 1982. Vic met and interviewed his hero, Phil Ochs, in May  of 1973 (Free mp3 download at the Phil Ochs memorabilia and tribute site called No More Songs - The Phil Ochs Tribute & Memorabilia Site.

Vic told about how he moved to Berkeley, CA in 2008 thinking that KPFA would be a good place to get his songs heard. But he discovered a wall of gate-keeping at the Pacifica station except for a couple of independent volunteer shows like Project Censored and Guns and Butter Radio Show - Host Bonnie Faulkner. Fortunately, Vic said, there is No Lies Radio in San Francisco Bay are too. Vic praised Teri Perticone for discovering so many artists that sing topical singers. No Lies Radio can be heard on the internet 24/7 at www.noliesradio.org 


 NO LIES RADIO

Vic explained how he went to the DC Emergency Truth Convergence in Washington, DC in 2005 at the invitation of Janice Matthews of www.911truth.org

Vic said that his eyes were opened to many aspects of the event as a false flag operation with intended policy consequences. He named some who were there, such as Nafeez Ahmed, and Paul Thompson who wrote "The 9/11 Timeline" later to be known as the History Commons. At that conference Vic met David Schlesinger who had the idea that Vic, as a folk singer, should write a song about William Rodriguez, the janitor hero of the World Trade Center, who went from being celebrated to being persona non-grata for not being willing to compromise the truth. Dave arranged for Vic to interview Willie and the song came out of that process. 

William Rodriguez's 9/11 Commission testimony was omitted as was that of Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta's brief account of his time in the Presidential war bunker with Vice President Dick Cheney. Mineta cited 9:20 am as the time he first heard a young man questioning Cheney about the orders on the morning of 9/11/01. Vic explained that David Ray Griffin found the testimony of Mineta in a subcommittee report. That testimony about a plane approaching Washington after the World Trade Center Towers had already been hit "jumped off the page" as a great subject for the song, the one that would become "Cheney's in the Bunker". 
 September 11: The New Pearl Harbor by Max Mazzucco

Vic credited Michael C. Ruppert's "Crossing the Rubicon" as the inspiration for his song "Blowback or Bloody Treason". And Vic explained that "Trouble in the Rubble" came from reading a newspaper article by Amy Westfelt of the Associated Press about how the rescue dogs weren't suffering as much as the humans were from working in the rescue and removal work of the toxic dust and the "white-hot debris". 


 TROUBLE IN THE RUBBLE at Truth Troubadour Channel


Vic made sure to give musicians credits and he named his brother Rob Sadot as electric guitarist, Dean A. Banks as the keyboard and bass player, and R. B. Hunter (Rbeast) as the drummer and studio owner-engineer at the Tune Room in Wilmington, Delaware. Zone Parker was the guitarist on The Ballad of William Rodriguez. Vic was able to plug the fact that he has made videos for all of these songs at Truth Troubadour YouTube Channel. 

The recent 2014 9/11 Truth Film Festival held in the elegant Grand Lake Theater in Oakland, CA was another topic discussed. It is organized by volunteers from the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance, a non-profit educational group with an active website at www.sf911truth.org The entire event was live-streamed and has been preserved in the No Lies Radio archive with a donation pay per view system in place suggested at $15 but accepts anything even a penny. There are 13 segments that the viewers can pause, forward, rewind if they want to have focused conversations with friends and family. See www.noliesradio.org/filmfestival
 The Bev Collins Show - 9/11 Let the Truth Be Told


Bev Collins asked Vic Sadot to talk about some of the movies at the 9/11 Film Festival at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland, CA on 9/11/14. Vic praised Massimo Mazzucco's masterful new and comprehensive survey of what we know about 9/11 thirteen years after the tragic and pivotal events of that day. Titled "September 11: The New Pearl Harbor", it is a 5 hour tour de force. Both Bev and Vic recalled that David Ray Griffin calls Max Mazzucco's documentary of the best 9/11 films ever. It was shown in 3 segments with intermissions. Debuting film-maker David Hooper was there in person at the Grand Lake Theater. His film is about how his late-blooming 9/11 rude awakening nearly wrecked his marriage. In fact, that was why he made "An Anatomy of a Great Deception by David Hooper". He is quite humorous at times. But he is also dead serious about how important it is to wake other people like himself up. Vic also talked about how Robbie Martin's "American Anthrax by Robbie Martin" ties a lot of loose ends together and should be seen as part of the 9/11 crimes even though that wave of killing and fear happened a few weeks after. Robby Martin ties it into the passage of the Patriot Repression Act.

There was discussion of how difficult it is for singer-songwriters to get 9/11 Truth songs heard. Vic mentioned that he has a "Truth Troubadour Showcase" at his Truth Troubadour YouTube Channel and a parallel Facebook page with the same name to promote the singers in the showcase, a little over 30 truth troubadours who have made YouTube videos.

Vic quoted Pete Seeger at the end of the program. Pete said: “A singing movement is a winning movement. We're putting a world together before it blows itself apart. Over the years you'll find the magic made by the right song at the right place at the right time. Musicians can teach the politicians. It's fun to swap the lead. Musicians can teach the planners – economists, engineers, lawyers: plan for improvisation! Our greatest songs are yet unsung! So Rise up singing!

Pete Seeger quote form the Introduction to the book “Rise Up Singing” published by Sing Out! Magazine 1988 (American Folk Singer born May 3, 1919 – died January 27, 2014.
