\nSeptember 11, 2016<\/p>\n

Here are my thoughts on 9\/11……..on 9\/11!<\/p>\n

The day after the attacks in New York and Washington, D. C., I called
\nfor the creation of an Independent Citizens Commission of Inquiry to
\ninvestigate the tragic events of 9\/11\/01.<\/p>\n

I intuitively sensed right away that this was a false flag event designed
\nto provide a pretext for war to expand Pax Americana and establish a
\nNew World Order.<\/p>\n

In early March, 2002, I penned an essay entitled: “Time To Investigate”
\nthat I shared with Bob Bowman in Florida. Bowman would eventually
\nbecome a strong advocate of 9\/11 Truth and used it as a major issue
\nin his efforts to become president.<\/p>\n

Over the years, I remained interested in the conversation and did my part
\nto promote a full exposition of what happened.<\/p>\n

Skipping ahead to today—the day Hillary Clinton collapsed at Ground Zero
\nafter attending a Memorial event—I discovered at around 10:00am from
\nInfowars of the big 9\/11 Conference in NYC: www.justiceinfocus.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To my amazement, I saw Danny Sheehan as one of the keynote speakers\u00a0and active participant in several panels of the event.<\/p>\n

Sheehan had defamed me in 2003 during the presidential campaign of Dennis
\nKucinich for my efforts along with the late Mike Ruppert and others to interject
\n9\/11 as a key element of his campaign, especially as it applied to the illegal
\ninvasion of Iraq.<\/p>\n

Sheehan is a brilliant attorney and powerful advocate who has demonstrated
\nhis courage countless times over the years taking on vested interests by
\nexposing government corruption.<\/p>\n

So obviously I was not too pleased with his personal attack and was quickly able
\nto have a retraction issued by his colleague who had published the article.<\/p>\n

During all this time, I do not recall a single instance in which Sheehan has come
\nout in favor of 9\/11 Truth. Until I saw his named prominently attached to this
\nweekend’s Conference, I was not aware that he had any interest in the matter
\nmuch less was willing to champion the cause.<\/p>\n

In fact, several months ago, he sent me a nasty e-mail challenging me for having
\nwritten anything positive about Donald Trump who had hinted during the primaries
\nthat he was a 9\/11 Truther. https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=31376<\/a><\/p>\n

I had also composed several articles encouraging Bernie Sanders to come out for
\nrelease of the 28 pages of the Senate Intelligence Report that had been kept secret
\nuntil recently. https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/?p=36745<\/a><\/p>\n

That was something I had promoted for years. I am unaware if Sheehan had taken
\na similar public position on that or any other matter related to 9\/11 prior to today.<\/p>\n

With Trump now retreating from his Truther role and embracing the “Arab terrorists
\ndid it” position as a way of justifying more military spending, it will be interesting to
\nsee how Sheehan and the rest of Truther community handles this issue in the
\nremaining weeks of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Now that Congress has finally authorized release of the 28 pages and given the green
\nlight for legal action against the Saudis regarding 9\/11, there is room for some optimism.<\/p>\n

BUT: these are desperate times with economic collapse and social unrest real possibilities
\nin the days ahead. That combined with the extreme vulnerability of the Clinton candidacy\u00a0to charges of corruption concerning Saudi contributions to the Clinton Foundation and\u00a0countless other scandals involving her e-mails, health and Benghazi, we are at an extremely\u00a0delicate and precarious moment in our history.<\/p>\n

What role, if any, the 9\/11 Truth Movement (and Danny Sheehan) will play in helping our\u00a0deeply wounded nation transcend the evils of America’s national security state and transform\u00a0itself into a nobler version of its former self remains to be seen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=48643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48643\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=48643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=48643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=48643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
