Ya Hoo!
Hey all! I’m not able to join in with you guys for the weekend except for a possible fleeting comment here or there.
You guys make a LOT of noise! Tell everybody you know to join in! This weekend is gonna be interesting with the bushers coming for counter protest.
Peace & Love to you all!
Kira
Yaaay! Hi to you 6 or 7. Just about to head out. See you later.
Hi there! I won’t be here long either, except in spirit. Blessings to all…
yay! i’m in on the live broadcast, way to go folks!
I’ll be here all weekend hosting the open threads with WinterPatriot!
Thank you so much for keeping us all informed and up to date on events in Crawford.
Am praying for peace all day today.
Loud and clear as a bell! Great job, y’all. Coming to you live from rain-soaked South Florida.
Yes. There was one arrest of a "pro-war/pro-bush" protestor for not obeying instructions from a peace officer.
It was a peaceful arrest and was reported on Fox news.
Hi, David! Is this the open thread for today?
Saddam have $25,000 to families of suicide bombers in Israel. Saddam is a part of the War on Terrorism.
OT I changed my name from COLLEEN to colleenmilitarymom
Hey liars and finger pointers –
Saddam gave $25,000 to families of suicide bombers in Israel. Saddam is a part of the War on Terrorism.
Bush already met with Sheehan.
President Bush’s approval rating I bet has a lot to do with the price of gas just like it did under Carter.
Peg, Yes. This is the open thread for today!
Paul: you are so ridiculous — but keep it up, we could use the laughs!
Bill Maher got kicked off of broadcast TV because of hois statements.
i bet shrubs low approval ratings are due mostly to the fact that he is a lying little-minded shit. hmmm, just like paul. hey paul, how come we never invaded russia? just askin’
Brad Show coming in loud and clear in bluuuuue Atlanta, GA.
Well, ya know, even libruls have a problem with hois statements
> how come we never invaded russia? just askin’
Because Reagan bankrupted them. Thatcher knows who brought the USSR down.
Thank you so much, Brad, for interrupting your vacation to broadcast this world-changing event at Camp Casey. Apparently from his remarks in today’s edition of the Washington Post, Colbert King agrees with Cindy, too! See below:

Rallying the Troops and Avoiding Reality
By Colbert I. King
Saturday, August 27, 2005; A17
There is something almost surreal in the juxtaposition of President Bush’s statements on Iraq and news reporting on the war. The two are simply irreconcilable.
Bush’s upbeat take collides with recent news reports about events in Iraq as well as with the judgments of senior officials within his administration. If the media have got it wrong, then we deserve to get hammered. If, however, it turns out that Bush is not being straight with courageous U.S. service members and their families, then it will be the Bush presidency and his legacy that will pay dearly.
At the moment he’s hitting it off in visits to military posts, where he dons his commander-in-chief hat. One Bush line always draws applause: "We will stay on the offensive. Whatever it takes, we will seek and find and destroy the terrorists, so that we do not have to face them in our own country." It went over well last year with a gathering of applauding Screaming Eagles of the 101st Airborne, Green Berets of the 5th Special Forces Group and the Night Stalkers, at Fort Campbell, Ky.
In June the president went to Fort Bragg, N.C., and in a televised address described Iraq as the latest battlefield in the war on terrorism, saying: "America’s mission in Iraq is to defeat an enemy and give strength to a friend . . . . We will stay in the fight until the fight is won."

Hey, Old Brother, just wanted to say ya sound great! It’s fine to hear you live.
Paul: "We want Osama not Bush’s daddy’s drama" which is Saddam. Face it Paul, we invaded a country that was not guilty of attacking us. We/ America will be paying for the damage to the Iraqi people til our grandchildrens children die or longer. Bush snookered you and you fell for it hook, line, and sinker. We have created a total fucking mess and it’s time to get the hell out of there and start the cleanup of Bush’s war.
hey paul, I bet the shrubs low approval ratings are due mostly to the fact that he is a lying simpleminded shit. just like paul. how come we didnt invade russia paul? just askin’

It keeps cutting out.
Brad, keep up the good work. We are the majority according to recent polls.
The minority war party composed of fascists are all excited about themselves, however, they are of no concern to the patriotic americans who will prevail.
Again Brad, keep up the good work.
Cindy was awesome on Bill Maher’s show last night and the audience couldn’t stop cheering and applauding. Bill’s show will be repeated in our area at least two more times.
This should get some of those "fence sitters" either sign up and ship out and let the guys and women come home who were extended.
Its time for the Pro-War to put up or shut up.
Attention DU members: PLEASE Kick This Thread!

The Calm Before The Storm
**snip** by David Swanson
http://www.opednews.com
It’s very, very early morning on Saturday, August 27, in Crawford, Texas. The roads are as dark as Dick Cheney’s heart, and the stars as numerous as W’s lies. All hell has not yet broken loose and may or may not do so later today. But the police are telling the media that they’re preparing for trouble. And Camp Casey 2 ran a workshop yesterday on how to nonviolently respond to hostility. (Watch video on Truthout.org.)
Huge numbers of supporters of Cindy Sheehan are expected here today, along with a rumored crowd of pro-war activists (whether it will be of any size remains to be seen). And then there’s the rumor that local military recruiters will work the crowd if it materializes at the high school stadium. This is one of those rumors that makes a little too much sense to seem true. What, after all, does it mean to be a pro-war activist if not to sign up and engage in the war?
Tonight at Camp Casey 2 there were a couple of hundred people around through the evening. We ate and enjoyed the performances of some extremely talented musicians and singers. Then we all gathered ’round as Cindy did an interview from the middle of the tent with Bill Maher on his HBO show. I hope to upload at some point a video we taped of the event that does not show what Maher said (we couldn’t hear him), but does include shots of the crowd, which Maher could not see (we were all behind the camera), but which he clearly heard – there were deafening shouts and cheers after each of Cindy’s best remarks. **snip — more**
Hi Brad,
I am from Washington State and am honored to have joined Cindy in Crawford Texas yesterday.
I bring a Resolution and message from the Democrats of Washington State:
" The Might Democrats of Martin Luther King County, State of Washington, are proud to stand in solidarity with Cindy and the peaceful movement she seeks to empower.
The 32nd Legislative District Democrats sends our 1st vice Chair Carin Chase to represent us and stand in solidarity with Cindy and her effort to hold George Bush accountable for the Iraq war and it’s consequences.
We have traveled here fromn the Northwest Corner of our counrty to tell the world that where peace plants its flag, there we are. We have brought flags from the Great State of Washington and proudky plant them in honor and solidarity with this great peace making mission."
Please share this with your your listeners – my 5 yearold son are unable to join the Saturday protest but we are proud to stand in solidarity!!
Carin Chase
1st Vice Chair 32nd LEgislative District Democrats
State of Washington!

We have created a mess in Iraq, and there is no accountability from this administration:
We were told this war would be paid for through Iraqi oil, and after the United States having spent 300 billion plus where is the accountability?
We supposedly were going "spread democracy" in the middle east, and what do we see? Iraq becoming another theocracy…..
Where is the reality for those who continue to blindly support this war?
Visit the Iconoclast’s page for more updates from Crawford.
Total myth, Reagan did NOT bring down the Soviet Union. Can you spell C H E R N O B Y L ?
Rock and radiation brought down the Soviet Union. It was "…a cultural revolution and a nuclear malfunction cracked the Kremlin’s core. Reagan’s beloved Cold War made his GOP buddies even richer. But it was rock and radiation that finally did in the Soviets." Harvey Wasserman

David and Winter Patriot –
Since today is going to be a long one, and since many of us have low-speed connections, I’d like to suggest that you set up another open thread for the evening session. Load times get ridiculous when comments in a thread exceed 100!
One other thing … today I forwarded the email message from Brad re: the weekend Brad Show from Camp Casey to my email list. Guess what?
Delivery was refused for all AOL subscribers.
Here’s link to that error msg from AOL:
AOL ERROR MESSAGE
I’m listening to ya right now.THANK you Brad for doing this. It breaks my heart because I can’t go down to Crawford…right in the middle of a remodel kitchen job and can’t leave my animals in this heat(can’t afford the trip anyway) dang it. I am doing all I can to support the cause from where I am though.
I SO appreciate Cindy and all the patriotic folks gathering there and am SO PROUD today (as every day) to be an AMERICAN LIBERAL DEMOCRAT !
Bush and his gang of crooks at that phony pigfarm down the road should hear ya’ll LOUD & CLEAR TODAY! LOL THE PEOPLE are closing in on old nasty George fast now. There is no place to hide anymore.
THANK YOU CINDY! YEEEHA!

Colleen, change your link to White Rose #1. It’s coming through perfectly! It hasn’t had a drop-out yet today. Hoooooray!!!!!!! 😎
GREAT POINT KIRA ! Let the Recruiters work the high school stadium where the Pro-War group meets. The Pro-War people I talk to…all say
"Oh but NOT my son or daughter".
Interesting that not ONE BUSH FAMILY MEMBER AND I MEAN OF ALL HIS BROTHERS (4)AND SISTER (1) IS SERVING ON THE FRONT LINE.
THEY ALL HAVE ADULT KIDS – WONDER WHERE THEY ARE????
I lost the sound, anyone else having problems?
LMAO Paul. You are too funny.
Hiya eveyrone else 🙂 here listening 🙂 way cool wish i were in crawford.
This is wonderful!!!
Democratic Underground has tread going for Cindy with all the wonderful photo’s too! 🙂
Kira #37 –
That’s outrageous! Maybe you and your list members should devise a code.
Thanks Brad for setting me straight. You are so clever and cute! Saddam also did not harbor terrorists. Thanks again!
There may be "dead air" during the breaks if you are listening to WhiteRoseSociety.
Why hasn’t Paul enlisted if he supports this war?
We still depend on you for support. So please Visit The BRAD STORE and/or Donate via Credit Card or PayPal and/or Donate via Snail Mail.
I would have been in favor of Clinton getting serious about Iraq. And the UN with their 17 resolutions.
When you guys trash the operation, you are trashing the soldiers.
The economy is streamrolling right now!
Home ownership is at an all-time high.
Plenty of jobs for those who want to work.
This war was for oil, so we can continue to breed and shop and breed and shop, oh… and breed and shop some more.
re #49 We all know the answer
Bawk Bawk Bawk
Ok – you guys are boring. I hope the 10 of you save the world.
I hope cooler heads will prevail at Casey 1 & 2. Folks who look at only the surface of an issue are dangerous. especially when someone points out what is underneath.
Great radio show! I’m finally able to listen today. Thanks, Brad! As I’m in Europe and can’t go to Texas to support Cindy and her Peace Movement, I created an anti-war music video and dedicated it to her son Casey and all the others who died in this insane war. You can download it here:
http://www.savefile.com/projects.php?pid=488565
I just donated $25.00, and hope that others who are listening and posting here today can send something.
Thanks Brad, and don’t forget to drink your water!
heck paul someone has to set you straight and save you from yourself.
Jim Ru #52 _
Exactly!!!
SanJoseLady #57-
Thanks for the donation!
Great job Brad!
Your a true American. Thanks for the truth!
Keep it coming.
For anyone who wonders YOU CAN SUPPORT THE TROOPS WITHOUT SUPPORTING THE PRESIDENT.
The one thing I agree with Mr. Slimy Tom Delay.
His words about Clinton over Bosnia.
You can e-mail our men and women and find out how many still need ceramic plates for their flak jackets, or just basic necessities that our government is not supplying forour troops Bush is asking to die for his greed.
A the dead air has a name and we all know who it is. Guess he can’t afford his own website..so mooches off Brad’s to make his inane comments.

Just connected to your broadcast from Paris. That’s Paris, FRANCE, not Paris, Texas.
Coming in loud and clear!
I have only dial up and it was cutting out on that first link, so I went to White Rose Society(where I listen to Mike Malloy nightly YEAH) option 2 and it hasn’t cut out anymore.
This is great. I love that in between the segments music too. Very pretty.
If you are listening to Brad, please, please donate (really easy), if all who are right now hearing Brad’s voice send $5 it would help cover all of his expenses, and it is $5 WELL spent!

110 degrees at Camp Casey I. This is the "hot spot" where vets on both sides are taunting each other.
We hope the cooler heads will prevail.
Listening live streaming from Santiago, Chile, loud and clear.
Wow ! Paris, France wonderful !!! Perhaps a few in the world will know we are not all war mongers.
#32 SanJoseLady – re:reality, my thought is, the ones afraid to question a "leader" cannot admit they are wrong, because they will have to question their whole world. People do not like leaving their comfort zone. So follow they will like lemmings into the sea. So much for reality.
And why Paul doesn’t enlist for his beliefs – well he is afraid after all those are REAL bullets over there.
Sorta sounds like he was Bush’s co-pilot during Alabama National Guard Duty.
You guys ROCK!! Good interviews!!
I am off to the largest national 60th Anniversary of the end of WWII celebration in Vancouver WA today. It is my intention to engage anyone who wishes in a coversation that makes very clear the distinction between a justified war and this mess in Iraq. The two signs on my car say "THANK YOU WW II VETS!!!" & "STILL BELIEVING BUSH?" Should be interesting… Maybe I will make up some bullshit protectors for my ears in case the American Legion starts to speak.
re #73 They may be following one another into the sea … but it seems to me that they are following one another to the gallows!
🙂 The horses are afraid of Bush too! hahahahaha
The Online Think Tank for election reform (27 Aug. through 5 Sept.) is up and running here.
Special guest throughout the week (Lynn Landes, David Cobb, Ion Sancho, etc.).
Rob Cohen, Producer of VoterGate, is currently online as one of the Special Guests. Ask him anything!
Brad, please mention this Online Think Tank event on your broadcasts. It’s one more way of supporting Cindy and reclaiming our power as voters. There are special discussion threads for folks who’ve been badly served by the election process–e.g. young people, minority voters.
Explain the controlled demolition!! I knew there was something there! I need to have the controlled demolition of the towers explained. I am new to this blogging thing. How did the airplanes involved work in this controlled plan. I need the lynch pin that clarifies an internal mechanism for 9/11.
What the hell just happened to the sound???
#76 We can not only hope but never let up on the journalists who are writing the truth. Show them we support them and are reading them.
Public opinion can change things…and now wonderful blogs like these are crucial.
Apathy is yesterday’s news…Brad, Winter Patriot, you are reaching across oceans, there must be a stronger word than Incrediable to describe what you are doing. Changing the world, that is what is happening !!!
if ya want the link directly to where the dudes that were just on are from its… http://www.infowars.com
Brad…that was too funny! Wasn’t it Alex Jones that "hosted" the night MM didn’t show in Crawford for F 9/11?
Havin fun with ya…thanks so much…the last $5 on my PP visa is headed your way to defray the $$$…!
(I thought Joan Baez would’ve already underwritten your show for now though Brad…) Hey MM, please donate too!!!
listening from Wa. State, just lost sound too, cannot get it to reconnect
Hi Czaragorn,
I am here in Germany and the sound just went out for me also…. no sound for the last 5 minutes…
in comment #79 NYC wrote: "I need to have the controlled demolition of the towers explained."
Let’s start this way: It could be that somebody wanted to frighten you …
try again! you can re-establish the connection and listen some more! sometimes you need to be patient and sometimes you need to be persistent but we can do both of those things, can we not?
re #79 and #85 … maybe they wanted to frighten you into accepting their plan to invade Afghanistan …
patience and persistence work!!!! Wonderful sound again….
Hi all, I’m hearing music now, but sometimes there is dead air. Love the show, thanks everyone for bringing it to us!
patience and persistance and still in my robe 🙂
I keep losing the connection — over and over and over. I’m using White Rose #1. Is there a better connection, or is there just too much traffic?
still re #79 etc … and maybe they didn’t think that slamming planes into the towers was going to be sufficiently frightening …
oh yeah…was gonna mention that myself …still in my robe… and unfortunately still having to reconnect a lot…so I’ll never get up and leave…already missing some of it!!!
Oh, I love it live…
Thanks again Brad–6 or 7–WP–Otie and et al.
Just read a snipet of Bush’s Sat radio speech…Americans need to brace themselves for MORE sacrifice.. excuse me doesn’t he mean the troops must brace themselves.
By sacrifice, that means more families will be burying their loved ones and caring for the wounded.
And could someone explain to me, how closing OUR military bases here, is strengthening our Security.
You know I just got the the answer. SEND BUSH TO IRAQ TO BE THEIR PRESIDENT. ALONG CHENEY, RUMSFELDT, ROVE AND WOLFAWITZ.
CAN’T WE DEPORT THEM?
Bush is sending our people, our money and building bases over there…he really needs to live there FULL TIME. !!!
Brad’s engineer said they were having some problems with the computer that encoding the broadcast.
If for some reason you lose connection, just keep trying and you should be able to reconnect within a minute or two.
The engineer is continuing to work on the problem and hopefully we will have a stable steam for you soon.
We appreciate your patience!

Texas Lady, I am trying to get into the shower, but can’t seem to leave the computer, all the fault of Brad (who I will now refer to as the man who had me in my robe all day : )
Can’t imagine how much Paul really supports this war if he won’t fight it, rather is shows that Paul is more likely a coward then a patriot.
Sorry, your live broadcasting is not working.
All links fail in less than 30 seconds of uptime!!
I have broadband fastest connection and I have a superfast computer as well. Also I use iTunes on a real Mac!!
re:#91. I am using White Rose #2. I am losing the connection over and over too. During the weekday, I never lost the connection. It must be the weekend, or those super hot temps in Texas!
Oh and Laura and the girls would love the latest in Burkas…black I heard is in. One problem tho, the twins are getting too old for marriage…the constitution will keep in effect marriage for girls at nine years of age.

Sanjoselady #98 – I can relate to the robe thing .
Paul will tell you he is a good Christian, so many are that are Pro -War. See, killing is alright if it is only to those who disagree with you or have different beliefs. And it is really alright, if he doesn’t have to do it. Lets see would coward fit that description. Yes, I believe it does.
I wonder if you all know that Casey’s death didn’t have to happen. Aaron Glantz’s book will tell you that Mokado Sadr was helping Americans after Saddam was toppled. He was supplying water and food to other Iraqis when we tore up their infrastructure. And M.Sadr wanted us to leave and let the Iraqi people begin governing themselves. Paul Bremer closed Mr.Sadr’s newspaper, put out arrest warrants for Mr.Sadr and his second in command. With that all his followers turned against the Americans and the killling began.
Casey and his squad went in to control this group and Casey died.
DIDN’T HAVE TO HAPPEN. THE IRAQIS WANTED TO WORK WITH US. WE SAID NO. IT WAS OUR WAY OR THE HIGHWAY. Sound familiar?
Neo: If I were you I wouldn’t bother asking Paul any questions. He doesn’t know any answers … and he doesn’t even try to answer questions … he’s the original BRAD BLOG troll and he puts in an ignorant word every now and then but all he really cares about is clearly indicated in comment #51
Are we being hacked?
Been dead air or instrumental for a while.
uh-oh…American Woman! YEEEEHA!
Probably not being hacked … having a lot of technical problems … hang in there and they will get it fixed as soon as they can
What a great day for Texas!!
Too bad the connections won’t stick and I can’t hear, contuously, what’s going on.
But I’m with you all in spirit. For ten years I’ve been archiving and putting up on the Net, the data, the testimony, the documents and the photos to show that we the American people are being lied to, and deceived and tricked.
And now, after all this time, true facts are surfacing and truth is out there for everybody, even the very busy and complacent Coyboy Capital of the world here in Bandera, Texas, just to your southwest.
I am so grateful to hear you and know that Texans care about more than just themselves.
I hope you’ll put your technicians to work and figure out why the connections won’t stick. But, I’ll not stop trying. You folks are a real shot-in-the-arm for an old grandma like me who’s on-line 14 hours a day, just to tell and publish the Truth.
God bless you.
Chaiyah. Look me up in Google.

> And why Paul doesn’t enlist for his beliefs
This is one the left kook fringe loves to bring up so I will answer it.
The military has guidelines and I believe I am a bit too old.
I choose to support them in other ways like pray for them, send care packages, etc. etc. etc.
I work in a company full of conservative marines. I personally sit next to several ex-military guys and they are not on the left kook fringe’s side.
Ok – I’ve have enough of you kooks to last me the rest of my life. BYE!
re #114: Do You Promise?
What’s the matter Paul — are you afraid of a little Depleted Uranium?
Paul, you are laughable. Everyone has a bit of conservative and liberal in them. How easily you buy into the propaganda. It’s quite amusing and also disturbing to see people without a brain or common sense in their heads.
I will pray for you Paul. You and others like you who just don’t get it. It’s sad really.
Sorry Winter just gotta ask OH PAUL did you ever serve in the military like Korea or Vietnam or anywhere? In these care packages how about sending some ceramic plates, not just cookies.
re #118 TexasLady: It’s ok — you can ask Paul anything you want … but don’t expect an honest answer.
Paul Put up or shut up. Your never to old to serve for a noble cause. Contracters in Iraq make big money.
If you believe the war is worth it, put or shut up.
Still having trouble connecting? I am … but I assure you that this is nothing compared to the trouble they are having broadcasting … so we hang in there as best we can …
Meanwhile the War Criminal in Chief and his evil henchmen are having more trouble still … their vicious lies having been exposed, only the dullest of dullards now support them … and soon they will find even that support evaporating.
Truth may be stranger than fiction but it is also much more powerful. And we will keep speaking the truth … no matter where it leads.
I hope this entire thread isn’t going to be a running stupid conversation with Paul!?!? I honestly am not interested in such nonsense!?!
This thread is going to be whatever we make it, Peggy. As always.
Winter Patriot –
Could we have a separate evening thread please?! This one takes eons to load even now.
See you can’t trust somebody who doesn’t keep up with the REAL news (re #51). And remember how Greenspan tippy-toes around the current administration. Therefore … Add a little more PUNCH to this report when you read it.
Greenspan: Economy is at risk
Fed chairman says budget deficits could hurt its long-term vitality

JACKSON, Wyo. – Creeping trade protectionism and bloated budget deficits pose a risk to the United States’ long-term economic vitality, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan warned Friday. **MORE**

Wall Street Shows Growing Anxiety – Economic Uncertainty Takes Its Toll
Thanks Winter. I know it’s hard work.
We think about Iraq every day. It’s for a noble cause. We have to fight them here with the blogs so we don’t have to fight over there.
Peg C: I hear you! We’ll see what we can do about that!
Can you PLEASE give us an update on the numbers of folks at Camp Casey II. The Iconoclast is reporting 4,000 PLUS at the Pro war rally.
And I keep losing your stream…SIGH
Brad: The links for "listening" don’t seem to be making sense. First off, the bradshow.m3u link launches MS media player, but reports file not found. The other links are to bradshow.pls. After some research, that appears to require winamp. Installed that, but winamp reports file not found also. (Other links at IBC work fine.)

Thanks SO much, WP!
Attention DU members: PLEASE try to keep This Thread kicked for the rest of the day, if you can! We wouldn’t want anyone to miss this broadcast!!
I’m told that the problem may be fixed. My stream seems to be back up so give it a try and hopefully we will stay up this time!
For those having connection probs. I was having them too. First with music match which I then removed from computer. So I tried real player and couldn’t get connected for more than a few seconds. Now I’m using Windows Media Player and have no probs at all. Streaming loud and clear.
Think it was on the broadcast end…don’t go changing to software this time… my iTunes was buffering and dying…now it isn’t…
:hehe:
It’s raining, so my picnic ended early. Still no sound. I just never know if it’s my connection out here in dial-up Iowa.
Would using haloscan for comments speed things up?
I sympathize, Peg c
We will have another open thread starting soon, so please check that one … it’s necessary because of all the comments … but THANK YOU for all the comments, and please keep them coming … I can start as many open threads as necessary!
Coming in beautifully now.
Dial-up’s a downer ColleenMM! Oh well…
😉 Wish I was with you all today!!!
Those Neo-Cons should be signing up for Iraq instead of being there trying to help out Shrub. They need to put up or shut up!
Sounds great. 4,000 people at the stadium for the war or Bushco. That is amazing. This can be a good sign. American’s cannot ignore this war any more.

I downloaded at peercast. So far so good.
It has been almost four years since 9/11 and it is long overdue that we do precisely what 9/11’s planners so desperately do NOT want us to do. By that I mean it is time for everyone in this country to take a look at 9/11 with dispassionate, analytical, objective, realistic eyes instead of taking the "official" 9/11 story at face value.
Crawford Update shares this photo from Camp Casey II:
Kraig I agree with you for the most part … but I have been doing the objective alalytical thing ever since the day it happened … as have a lot of other people.
What’s the "new Iraq" look like? Tolerant? Egalatarian? Respectful of womens’ rights? Hell no, women in Iraq have less rights than they had under Saddam. And most of Iraq is getting reeeeeeally close to Iran…
So everyone who says American troops over in Iraq are dying for nothing is wrong. The truth is, everything America is doing there furthers the interests of Iran and Islamic fundamentalism!!
Congratulations!!!
I was at St. Josephs women’s hospital in Tampa, FL with my mother yesterday, while I was waiting for my mother to have tests done, one of the workers at the hospital sat down next to me after seeing Cindy’s commercial on TV. Well she said she can’t stand that women on the commercial. I asked her why do you hate her? Because her son went to fight a war to protect us and died? And then to find out the reason he went was a LIE. Well she shut her flap real fast. I’m so sick and tired of these people, and I’m not going to take it anymore. Every time I hear them talk about how they hate or how they think bush is great, I’m going to be there with my Opinions.
:plain:
Good for you, Lisa. Keep up the good work!

Oh, I know a lot of people have been looking into the real story of 9/11, and I meant no offense to anyone who’s already figured out the mystery, just saying a lot of people still don’t get it, or sort of see the truth but can’t cope with it so they retreat into the fantasy explanation of "nineteen hijackers with plastic knives" because it’s not as frightening and of course the mainstream media gives lip service to the "official" 9/11 story and many media mouthpieces probably believe it anyway. Remember that quote by Mark Twain that goes "A lie can make it halfway around the world before the truth can get its pants on" ? It’s very true. And like I said I think a lot of people who "believe" the "official" 9/11 story do so because even though it is impossible, to them it seems easier to wrap their mind around and less scary than finding out the truth.

Sorry for the double post; the first time it said it timed out and I thought it didn’t post.

A year ago I accepted the official 911 story. I never used the internet for news.
But I never believed Bushco about WMD after it was said over and over and over. WMD was a red flag to me. But even public radio supported it. Although their were a few interviews.
Yes. Many questions about 911 are unanswered.
Latest report from the Iconoclast
The hansters will be sweating now,
Hamsters, that is. Fabulous sweat stains.
people remember when they slamed the anti war movement in the 60s..history showed that we were telling the truth not the facsists in power…again we will win this war….peace..jim

Greetings from Birmingham, Alabama the center of RED COUNTRY.
We were lucky enough to be at Camp Casey last Monday. We could not stay and could not get back for the weekend, but our thoughts are with everyone.
Dirving home, we had an immediate fifteen minute interview on the only liberal talk radio show in our part of the world.
The afternoon Birmingham paper did a great article on Thursday, August 25, about our visit and included an interview with Jean Prewitt, one of the Gold Star Mothers who had been to Crawford and who lives in Birmingham. You can find the article at http://www.postherald.com.
We also guest hosted a one and one-half hour talk radio show on Thursday night. We had Jean Prewitt and Lynn Bradach from Oregon (a Gold Star Mother from Oregon we met at Camp Casey) as our live guests. Interestingly, about half of our callers were positive to our cause and half were extremely rude. None of the negative callers discussed the facts, they only wanted to shoot the messengers. They truly do fear an honest open dialogue.
We must make the dialogue happen and bring the troops home!!!
We hope and pray everyone at Camp Casey will continue the work, as we shall, after this weekend.
See you all in Washington.
That’s cool, I didn’t want to offend; in answer to the question "how are the plane crashes connected to the Twin Towers controlled demolition?", well, I think Winter Soldier got it pretty much right on the mark when he said it was largely to scare us more, for the psychological effect, that was a large part of it, and also consider:
If the Twin Towers would’ve been left standing instead of "pulled" as they say, then a lot of key evidence contradicting the "official" story would’ve remained intact, like remains of the smaller remotely-piloted drone that hit the North Tower (hence the thing in the Naudet brothers’ footage that is definately NOT a Boeing 757, and also the early reports of a "small plane" hitting the N. Tower). Well if they left it up then the REAL remains of it would’ve been found (instead of a couple obviously planted airplane parts taken from a junkyard) etc. The one that hit the South Tower was a remotely-piloted Air Force tanker (based on Boeing 757 airframe) and hit it more towards a corner instead of head on. Most of the jet fuel blew out in a huge Hollywood action movie fireball and the S. Tower fire was somewhat smaller than the N. Tower’s (and was hit seventeen minutes later!). This is also why the earliest accounts of it stated the "airliner" that hit theSouth Tower had no windows. When the South Tower fire started dying, and the "reason" for the building’s "collapse" with it, the S. Tower’s charges were set off and it came down in ten seconds like it was made of butter. Exactly thirty minutes later the North Tower’s charges went and it too came down in similar fashion. These had been wired to be set off from the mayor’s emergency command center in the concrete bunker on the 23rd floor of WTC # 7 building, which itself was rigged with explosives. So later in the day after setting off both Twin Towers’ charges, they set the timer on the explosives in the WTC # 7 (or remote-detonated it, one or the other) and "collapsed" it as well, destroying the evidence in the command center.
Winter Patriot I meant, sorry, I said ‘Winter Soldier’, probably thinking of the anti-war group called Winter Soldiers from way back when. They were sort of like Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW).

…And for a more detailed discussion as to how physics rules out everything BUT a controlled demolition as the cause of the "collapses", see:

The explosives used were probably thermite, as that would explain the large "hot spots" under the WTC rubble that were still hot weeks after 9/11.

Something else to consider is that Bush’s behavior on the morning of 9/11 is very damning in itself. When Andy Card told him of a second plane hitting the WTC then everyone concerned of course knew it was no accident, so if the "official" story were true then Bush’s Secret Service chief would have had to assume that Bush might be a possible target and they would’ve immediately spirited him away to a much safer, less-publicized location. But they didn’t. Instead, Bush was allowed to sit there and be read to by schoolkids for several minutes, then Bush gladhanded with teachers and posed for photos with them, and THEN Bush carried out his pre-scheduled press conference plugging the ‘No Child Left Behind’ act, not leaving that school for almost an hour. This can only mean: Bush and his Secret Service chief had to have known Bush was not a possible target on 9/11; the ONLY WAY they could have known that is if Bush knew the 9/11 plans beforehand, ergo 9/11 was an inside job. Though Bush’s actions of that morning are well-documented (including a press conference!), nobody in the corporate-owned American mainstream media mentions what Bush’s tarrying at that elementary school MEANS in terms of evidence.
Hi Kraig,
Lots of us have done a good bit of research on this topic and have come to the conclusion that the administration’s story doesn’t make any sense. Their story is tin-foil hat stuff. They are the conspiracy theorists … they and all who believe their tall tale are living in a fantasy land.
Here are a few links for you:

Thanks to Kraig for keeping this in the light, and to Kira for posting those links : but I hasten to add that my [former] blog is by no means an authority on 9/11. I can save you the time you might spend hunting there, though. Here are the very few interesting 9/11-related items that I ever posted there :

fear and loathing after 9/11 Trouble
reposted 9/11 Research: Want Links? Got Links!!
on 9/11 the more I look at all the videos and read everything…the more I doubt the story line.
For one thing, I had seen a controlled demolition just before 9/11. It look exactly the same..then an engineer with 25 years experience put his name on the line that it was controlled…he later recanted..his lab gets federal funding.
Also, Marvin Bush and cousin…were on the board that provided security for the Trade Centers…with the federal payout to the victims…they and their company didn’t lose a dime.
Just coincidence after coincidence…..
Nice post. Seen after long time.
