My Pulitzer Submission My Pulitzer Submission http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2007/04/motives-for-september-11-2001-attacks.html http://www.representativepress.org/1998Fatwa.html ABC's movie "The Path to 9-11" was extremely ugly. They lied about what bin Laden's fatwa said. It didn't say, as they portrayed, "There is no room for negotiation unless and until America converts to Islam." It is clear why the ABC movie lied. The 1996 fatwa the movie misrepresents actually says things like "It is incredible that our country is the world largest buyer of arms from the USA and the area biggest commercial partners of the Americans who are assisting their Zionist brothers in occupying Palestine and in evicting and killing the Muslims there, by providing arms, men and financial supports." The fatwa actually lists the same grievances bin Laden and others have mentioned for years as the 1993 letter from the terrorists made crystal clear: "This action was done in response for the American political, economical, and military support to Israel the state of terrorism and to the rest of the dictator countries in the region." Bin Laden has made the motives clear and until what: "We swore that America wouldn't live in security until we live it truly in Palestine. This showed the reality of America, which puts Israel's interest above its own people's interest. America won't get out of this crisis until it gets out of the Arabian Peninsula, and until it stops its support of Israel." http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2006/09/abc-miniseries-path-to-9-11-lies-to.html http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2007/04/motives-for-september-11-2001-attacks.html http://www.representativepress.org/1998Fatwa.html http://www.representativepress.org/Motivesfor911.html Tags: My Pulitzer Submission ABC's movie Path to 9-11 Osama bin Laden Fatwa 1996 1998 ABC TV pundits lies lie big |

The Truth about the Wall Street Bailout: How "Free Market Capitalism" Really Works. Nader and Chomsky Explain the Game, a Nanny State to Take Care of the Rich http://tinyurl.com/ChomskyCD * http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2008/09/truth-about-wall-street-bailout.html Presidential candidate Ralph Nader (subscribe to the Nader channel http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=votenader08 ) has a good video about the wall street bailout, I'll play you a short clip and also a clip of Chomsky talking about capitalism in the real world . Nader is right, the bailout is yet another example of socialism for the rich which has been the game that's always been played. I recommend this CD of Noam Chomsky talking at Harvard in 96. Chomsky explains that the free market theory sold to the public is just a fantasy. He shows how in the real world, different rules apply to the rich. the rich make sure they have the nanny state to take care of themselves. We are being played for fools. Let's get the word out.

The fact is from November 1947 to May 1948 the Zionists were already on the offensive and had already attacked Arabs. In the months before Israel was declared, the Zionists had driven 300,000 non-Jews off their land. In the months before Israel was declared, the Zionists had seized land beyond the proposed Jewish State." http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2008/09/bryan-you-have-repeated-usual.html http://www.counterpunch.org/junaid03022005.html Commenting on the founding of Israel, Senior Lecturer of Military History in the IDF Aryeh Yitzhaki says, "a generation has passed, and it is now possible to face the ocean of lies in which we were brought up. In almost every conquered village in the War of Independence, acts were committed, which are defined as war crimes, such as indiscriminate killings, massacres and rapes." Yitzhaki is cited in the Israeli paper, Ha'ir, by Guy Erlich in his May 6, 1992 article, "Not Only Deir Yassin."

He made me want to listen to him - to find a solution. At first these people don't talk about violence. They concentrate on how much injustice America has caused in the world and how to get rid of this unfairness. They mention Palestine, they call on you to uphold your national dignity, to defend people, and suggest for that you must sacrifice yourself. Then your people will live after you and will always remember you."

On 9/11, WTC1 Hit WTC7, Seriously Damaging the South Side "The biggest decision we had to make on the first day was to clear the area and create a collapse zone around the severely damaged 7 World Trade Center, a 47-story building heavily involved in fire. A number of fire officers and companies assessed the damage to the building. The appraisals indicated that the building's integrity was in serious doubt. I issued the orders to pull back the firefighters and define the collapse zone. It was a critical decision; we could not lose any more firefighters. It took a lot of time to pull everyone out, given the emotionalism of the day, communications difficulties, and the collapse terrain. - FDNY Chief of Department Daniel Nigro http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2008/08/on-911-wtc2-hit-wtc7-seriously-damaging.html I hope we can all concentrate on ending the unjust policies like supporting Israel and put this distraction behind us, because it hinders efforts to expose Zionism. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1bm2GPoFfg&feature=PlayList&p=F81BB573C9C0C7B2&index=0&playnext=1 What Motivated the 9/11 Hijackers? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1bm2GPoFfg&feature=PlayList&p=F81BB573C9C0C7B2&index=0&playnext=1 SCANDAL: 9/11 Commissioners Bowed to Pressure to Suppress Main Motive for the 9/11 Attacks. http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2006/09/reviews-of-without-precedent-inside.html "Sit Down!"

A serious fire in one of these structures should be expected to produce roof collapse in as little as five to 10 minutes. As such, they too should be attacked from defensive positions. Steel does have one advantage over wood trusses, in that if the steel can be cooled with hose streams, it will retain and even regain its strength." "Class 1 (fire-resistive) buildings typical of high-rise construction usually are designated as having three- or four-hour fire resistance ratings. In the past, that was taken to mean that they would never be a serious collapse threat. While this is usually the case in the completed structures, it is not a guarantee, particularly in the steel-framed high-rise that relies on some type of spray-on or membrane fireproofing to protect the steel. The 1 Meridian Plaza fire in Philadelphia proved that these can be severe dangers under the wrong set of circumstances."

Sign this Weekend, Stand for the Constitution, Impeach Bush http://impeachment.kucinich.us/petition/ We Want Bush Impeached, We Support the Kucinich Resolution. See video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=kiIn3ytaUjI&feature=PlayList&p=78D7AD665B2B029D&index=0&playnext=1 Excerpts come from a June 11, 2008 Countdown with Keith Olbermann show: http://representativepress.blogspot.com/2008/07/sign-this-weekend-stand-for.html OLBERMANN: Time now to call in George Washington University law professor and constitutional law expert: Jonathan Turley. Good evening, Jon. JONATHAN TURLEY, CONSTITUTIONAL LAW EXPERT: Hi, Keith. OLBERMANN: I've often argued here that even if you think the words aren't going to lead to any action, say the words anyway, simply to get them on the record for history, and simply because nothing has ever changed from bad to good in this country without somebody first saying—this is bad. Assess the importance of what Dennis Kucinich did last night. TURLEY: You know, it is very important. The fact is that this is not supposed to happen the way it happened in the last seven years. The framers, I think, would have been astonished by the absolute passivity if not collusion of the Democrats in protecting President Bush from impeachment. I mean, they created a system that was essentially idiot-proof and God knows we put that to a test in the past years. But, I don't think they ever anticipated that so many members of the opposition would stand quietly in the face of clear presidential crimes. It has many of us who study the Constitution quite worried that we have a real crisis here. This is not something that really was supposed to happen. It was not something that one would predict. OLBERMANN: This is the list that he presented last night—a remarkably lengthy and thorough record of the high crimes and misdemeanors. It's just a cascade really. Did Kucinich successfully make his case? TURLEY: I think he's made his case. I mean, frankly, some of these claims are not really impeachable offenses. Like for example, it's not impeachable to be negligent. If that was the case, we'd lose half that people that sat in the Oval Office. But there are plenty of crimes there. This is a target-rich environment. What's really disturbing for many of us is that it takes a real effort for Democrats to walk from the floor to their offices and not trip over crimes. I mean, they are all over the record, from destruction of evidence, to illegal surveillance, to unlawful torture programs. They're all over the place. And what's amazing is that the president is hiding in plain view. He hasn't really denied the elements of these offenses. So, all that is lacking is political will. But that doesn't mean that suddenly the Democrats are going to get principled and say—my God, we took an oath, and we need to fulfill it regardless of the outcome. But it does mean one member, and they're actually more than one, are really calling their colleagues to the floor and saying—it's time to pony up. It's time to answer the public of whether you stand for the Constitution and against its abridgement. ---------- See "Will Congress listen? IMPEACH NOW!

This is another example of Mainstream Media's continuing suppression of basic facts concerning Israel and the Palestinians and other dramatic details related to the Middle East. It is a scandal for news editors to suppress the fact that democracy is being denied to people and that U.S. policy makers are behind the injustices. It is a scandal that the mainstream media suppresses the fact that the President of Iran is calling for democracy. The text in red was edited out of the 60 Minutes broadcast: MR. WALLACE: You are very good at filibustering. You still have not answered the question. You still have not answered the question. Israel must be wiped off the map. Why? PRESIDENT AHMADINEJAD: Well, don't be hasty, sir. I'm going to get to that. MR. WALLACE: I'm not hasty. PRESIDENT AHMADINEJAD: I think that the Israeli government is a fabricated government and I have talked about the solution. The solution is democracy. We have said allow Palestinian people to participate in a free and fair referendum to express their views. What we are saying only serves the cause of durable peace. We want durable peace in that part of the world. A durable peace will only come about with once the views of the people are met. So we said that allow the people of Palestine to participate in a referendum to choose their desired government, and of course, for the war to come an end as well. Why are they refusing to allow this to go ahead? Even the Palestinian administration and government which has been elected by the people is being attacked on a daily basis, and its high-ranking officials are assassinated and arrested. Yesterday, the speaker of the Palestinian parliament was arrested, elected by the people, mind you. So how long can this go on? We believe that this problem has to be dealt with fundamentally. I believe that the American government is blindly supporting this government of occupation. It should lift its support, allow the people to participate in free and fair elections. Whatever happens let it be. We will accept and go along. The result will be as you said earlier, sir. MR. WALLACE: Look, I mean no disrespect. Let's make a deal. I will listen to your complete answers if you'll stay for all of my questions. My concern is that we might run out of time. PRESIDENT AHMADINEJAD: Well, you're free to ask me any questions you please, and I am hoping that I'm free to be able to say whatever is on my mind. You are free to put any question you want to me, and of course, please give me the right to respond fully to your questions to say what is on my mind. Do you perhaps want me to say what you want me to say? Am I to understand -- MR. WALLACE: No. PRESIDENT AHMADINEJAD: So if that is the case, then I ask you to please be patient. MR. WALLACE: I said I'll be very patient. PRESIDENT AHMADINEJAD: Maybe these are words that you don't like to hear, Mr. Wallace. MR. WALLACE: Why? What words do I not like to hear? [the words highlighted in red and edited out of the interview] PRESIDENT AHMADINEJAD: Because I think that you're getting angry. MR. WALLACE: No, I couldn't be happier for the privilege of sitting down with the president of Iran.
