CTV Olympics coverage includes a message about investigating 9/11


Anyone who has watched the late-night CTV Olympics coverage has probably witnessed one of the city's more unusual protests.

Veteran newscasters Bill Good and Pamela Martin have been broadcasting live in downtown Vancouver during the Games in front of a raucous group of Olympic enthusiasts.

Each night as they begin speaking, someone unfurls a huge sign over their shoulders reading: "Investigate 9/11".

Good and Martin give no indication that they're aware of the existence of the sign. The 9/11 truth movement has also sent a televised message over the shoulder of CBC broadcaster Gloria Macarenko,

Members of the Vancouver 9/11 Truth Society have been trying for years to get the media to pursue this issue in an ongoing way.

The society was created with the following purposes:

(a) To educate people about the many questions remaining about the attacks perpetrated against the people of America and other nations on September 11th 2001;

(b) To educate people about the omissions, distortions and deceptions of the 9/11 Commission Report and the gaping holes in the official story of 9/11;

(c) To educate people about the many policies, laws, security measures and military actions that have been based on false or questionable information about 9/11 and "terrorism," in both the U.S. and Canada;

(d) To educate people about past false flag military/terror operations and enable them to better recognize such actions in the present and future;

(e) To demand that our servant government abide by the foundational spirit of our nation, "Peace, Order and Good Government." This would include withdrawing Canadian troops from non peace-keeping/building missions and halting all material support to countries at war, applying the law to Canada's national police and security agents, and ensuring that our laws and government agencies are based on truth and in clear compliance with our Constitution.

(f) To encourage media and journalists to serve the public, by accurately reporting what is already known and diligently pursuing questions critical to public information and democratic government.

(g) To see to it that a thorough, transparent, fair and impartial Canadian inquiry into 9/11 occurs, and to work towards bringing to justice the people who orchestrated, or carried out, the attacks of September 11th, 2001.

9/11 has been investigated very thoroughly, not only by the 9/11 Commission but through numerous outside groups. Popular Mechanics did a particularly good job

http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/military_law/1227842.html

But no amount of evidence and analysis will sway the Truthers.
 
maninwarren
The 9/11 Commission was a joke -- ludicrously delayed, underfunded and powerless. Its own commissioners have said as much. And popular mechanics is a Hearst media-owned rag with no power whatsoever to subpoena witness of any kind. http://9112010.com/911101partVI.html

9/11 shoud be investigated but by who. Who can be trusted, it goes way to deep. all just for the higher power to have a tighter grip on soceity slowly taking what ever freedom we have left

questions about 911 are always in the end anti-semitic in orientation whether from the right or left and as such should be prosecuted as hate speech.

in plain sight folks wake up open your eyes now
 
Strategis
Only lazy researchers and fanatical neocons still believe that the official version of events on 9/11 makes sense, and that the perpetrators have been brought to justice. Well over 50% of the North American, European, and world public believe that they are being lied to about 9/11 by the governments, media, and Popular Mechanics especially. Even Noam Chomsky takes the incredible position that it doesn't matter who was really behind 9/11. And yet we are expected to unquestioningly swallow the official line, and sacrifice our most valued possessions - our civil rights and freedoms, the foundation of democracy, and fund to the tune of many billions of dollars a year a dubious "War on Terror", based on an official version of events issuing from those who are likely responsible, that lacks any supporting evidence and flies in the face of simple physics and a myriad of demonstrated facts.
 
yakiddin?
You guys give new meaning to the word "loonie". Why does everything have to be a conspiracy? Jeez, even Bin Laden said he did it. Careful, I think the cat is conspiring against you.
 
No Kidding
With trillions of dollars being spent on a war that's supposedly justified by 9/11, isn't it reasonable to push for another investigation, after 10 years of this war that has killed far more innocents than 'terrorists?' You don't have to be convinced of a conspiracy to want more investigation, less violence. Does being skeptical of the most powerful government in the world make a person a "loonie?" Then blame loonies for bringing us and the Americans democracy in the first place. It is an active process... lunacy is blind acceptance.
 
bobo
Hey DJ Ball, you're right - millions of people have seen the banners. And millions of people laughed!!!!!
 
Strategis
The real Bin Laden, in a letter that was withheld from public awareness, denied any involvement in 9/11, and condemned all such acts of terrorism. The CIA concocted several fake Bin Laden videos to try to lay the blame on him, and avoid the heat they were getting for their own complicity in the event. Even now, the FBI admit that there is no evidence implicating Bin Laden, and no charges have been laid against him.
 
Osama
just ridiculous......
 
Wake Up!
When will people wake up and realize that the official 9/11 story is impossible to believe? A little independent research will reveal what really happened that day. I can't believe the public still buys the "official" version of the story. I myself find many more holes in the official story than the "truthers" version of events.

The 911 Commission Report is a complete work of fiction, and a poor one at that. 585 pages and not one mention of the collapse of 7 WTC? Come on now... If one (1) person can explain to me how 7 WTC collapsed, I could begin to believe that it wasn't an inside job. But, so far, no such luck.

The sad truth is, the biggest hoax of all time happened while all the world watched. That, my friends, is the true conspiracy.

I agree with Maurice Cardinal... worry about what goes on in our own country first instead of worrying about something that you have no sound proof of.
 
Reality Check
If anyone really thinks it is only "crazies" who think 911 was an inside job, then please spend just 5 minutes looking at http://patriotsquestion911.com/

I used to think I was one of the only "crazies" until I found that site.

Thousands of major engineering / architect firms, pilots, politicians from round the world including 7 Canadian Government Members all believe it the whole "official" story stinks.

General Wesley Clark, U.S. Army (ret) – Former Commanding General of U.S. European Command, which included all American military activities in the 89 countries and territories of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East also believes "we need a real investigation of some of the abuses of authority that are apparently going on at the Executive branch. ... We've never finished the investigation of 9/11.

The list goes on..


So Gabriel, just because you read one poor article in "Popular Mechanics" does this make you more informed about 911 than the former Commanding General of 89 countries or the many thousands of other scientists, engineers and politicians.

Everyone, please read http://patriotsquestion911.com and make up your own mind who is right.
 
In matters of security, logic should prevail
The Washington Times is a newspaper that looks with favor upon the Bush/Cheney/Obama/neocon wars of aggression in the Middle East and favors making terrorists pay for 9/11. Therefore, I was surprised to learn on February 24 that the most popular story on the paper's website for the past three days was the "Inside the Beltway" report, "Explosive News," about the 31 press conferences in cities in the US and abroad on February 19 held by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, an organization of professionals which now has 1,000 members.

I was even more surprised that the news report treated the press conference seriously. How did three World Trade Center skyscrapers suddenly disintegrate into fine dust? How did massive steel beams in three skyscrapers suddenly fail as a result of short-lived, isolated, and low temperature fires? " A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7," reports the Washington Times.

Not only the majority of the general public, but many thousands of firefighters, CIA analysts, military generals, professional physicists and engineers, architects, and all manner of highly qualified experts believe that the 9/11 official version of events is ridiculous, an absurd concoction that flies in the face of an ever growing mountain of facts. Those who scoff at the idea that the US government could lie about such matters are either highly biased or incredibly naive.

Quote from....

Paul Hellyer – Former Minister of National Defense of Canada. Former Deputy Prime Minister. Former Member of House of Commons.
Video interview with Kyle Hence 5/27/04: Regarding 9/11

"Why did the President just sit in the schoolroom when he heard the news? Why did he not acknowledge that he already knew what was going on? As a former Minister of National Defense, when the news came out I had to wonder. Why did airplanes fly around for an hour and a half without interceptors being scrambled from Andrews [Air Force Base]? ... With a quick action alert they should have been there in five minutes or ten minutes. ...

I think the inquiry has been very shallow, very superficial. I would like to see a much tougher, more in-depth inquiry. ”¦ I would like to see someone in a position of authority ask those questions and insist on getting answers, at least to why some of the things that happened that seem to be, for an ordinary person, inexplicable. ”¦

I'm very disturbed about a lack of transparency. Everyone talks about it, and no one is willing to come clean, as it were. ... We have to try and get the truth. ”¦ I hope that somebody has the courage and persistence to keep at it until we get it."

Norm Mineta – U.S. Secretary of Transportation 2001 - 2006.
9/11 Commission testimony 5/23/03:

Norman Mineta was in the command centre with Cheney, a soldier tells DC the plane is on the way on a collision course and asks "does the order still stand"
DC response begs the question, if the order was shoot down the plane before it hits the pentagon then why was it not shot down. hence the order had to be, "dont shoot"

This entire testimony was deleted from the final 911 report!

Lee Hamilton: We thank you for that. I wanted to focus just a moment on the Presidential Emergency Operating Center [PEOC]. You were there for a good part of the day. I think you were there with the vice president. And when you had that order given, I think it was by the president, that authorized the shooting down of commercial aircraft that were suspected to be controlled by terrorists, were you there when that order was given?

Norm Mineta: No, I was not. I was made aware of it during the time that the airplane coming into the Pentagon. There was a young man who had come in and said to the vice president, "The plane is 50 miles out. The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down to, "The plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the vice president, "Do the orders still stand?" And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?" Well, at the time I didn't know what all that meant. And --
 
TheParadigmShift
Popular Mechanics, National Geographic and the BBC were all PAID to put out HIT PIECES to cover up the greatest crime in history.

Google "BBC reports on collapse of WTC7 before it even happens."

9/11 was inside job to get support for 2 illegal wars for profit which are meant to be sustained and not won, to build permanent US military bases surrounding the largest deposits of oil in the middle east and to increase control and power by the US government. 9/11 was not carried out by muslims who are "jealous of your freedoms". The government hates your freedoms, not the muslims.

RME
A common thread throughout is that while those who push for true transparency re. 9/11 have put forth logical, thought-provoking comments, those who are abysmally false flag illiterate, invariably resort to hackneyed, juvenile name calling.

The IRONY is that the very footage shot by mainstream media on 9/11 itself, includes eyewitness testimonies that totally contradict the ridiculously absurd caveman - kamikazzi OFFICIAL CONSPIRACY THEORY.

As for pushing Popular Mechanics and their strawman arguments, yeah the hierarchy of PM is so "credible" that they fired all the staff who disagreed with their Cheney cabal -sucking propaganda.

Is it any wonder that mass media puppets never re-air the damning footage that they themselves caught.

Kudos to whomever got those signs out to the public.

On Feb. 14, 2008, Canada quietly (media censored as usual) signed a 'Civil Assistance' Agreement with the U.S. military that would allow THEIR military to enter Canada and "assist" in the case of an "emergency". With terrorism being a growth industry - the latest courtesty of the patsy crotch bomber and ex- Homeland Security M. Chertoff'$$ radioactive, "de-clothing" airport scanners waiting in the wings - it's high time Canadians lifted their heads out of the sand and instead of just flying Canadian flags, woke up to the incideous erosion of our sovereignty. With billions being made on the T word "terrorism", it's high time people asked who profit$ from chaos politically, geo-politically and monetarily...

"It's not that I want another 9/11...but having a crisis would force decisions that otherwise might not get made." Robert Pastor, key NAU architect Real Canadians do more than just fly flags... They educate themselves about draconian legislation (the above is the tip of the iceberg) that threaten the very fabric of our constituiton.

The "Father of Propaganda", Edward Bernays, who was Freud's errant nephew, says that if one wants to debunk propaganda, one should simply follow the money.

Following the money after 9/11 is a real education.

But, as Josef Goebbels, Hitler's Minister of Propaganda, stated: "How fortunate for the governors that the governed do not think."

So what kind of "inside job" do you think 9-11 was?
OPTION A) It was inside stupidity letting the whole thing happen, especially the second plane, and ignoring warning from their own and others countries' intelligence agencies.
OPTION B) It was an inside job planned and orchestrated either directly or by surrogates with the direction of a tight group of executive branch insiders.
9-11 was an inside job either way.

Hey Strategis, really dude, are you serious??? You say that the "real" bin laden "in a letter that was withheld from public awareness, denied any involvement in 9/11, and condemned all such acts of terrorism". So if this letter was "withheld from public awareness", how did you get to read it? Since you also ramble on about the CIA faking videos, maybe this "letter" was faked also. Maybe the real conspiracy is bin laden trying to get a bunch of people to think he didn't really do it. After all, he hasn't bothered denying involvement in, or condemning acts of terrorism in the many videos and radio addresses he has put out since 9/11. In fact, he has proudly claimed credit. Well, maybe those were fakes too. If that's the case, why hasn't he bothered to deny those videos that make him look like a cold blooded murderer? Maybe he is proud of the fact that he is a a cold blooded murderer. All the other terrorist in his gang lay proud claim to being involved in 9/11. Since he's the gang leader, wouldn't he tell them to quit saying things like that? In fact, most of the world seems to think bin laden was involved, but I guess we aren't able to spot BS as well as you. Then again, I think I spot a lot of BS in this whole ridiculous "theory". Your arguments are not sound.

"Investigate 9/11"

Everybody that saw those two words knew exactly what they meant, what both sides of the issue were, and all the implications that go along with this. There are more aware people now, nine years after the event, than there were in the first few weeks after it happened. Not bad, considering that the multi-trillion dollar indoctrination machine would like all this to slide down the memory hole.
 
Hi Buzz
Hi Buzz,

you say "most of the world think Bin Laden had something to do with 911"

Maybe you should call the FBI and tell them their website is wrong......

"On June 5, 2006, the Muckraker Report contacted the FBI Headquarters.... to learn why Bin Laden’s Most Wanted poster did not indicate that Usama was also wanted in connection with 9/11. The Muckraker Report spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity for the FBI. When asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden’s Most Wanted web page, Tomb said, “The reason why 9/11 is not mentioned on Usama Bin Laden’s Most Wanted page is because the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.”


Also on September 23, 2001 the BBC reported that four of the hijack "suspects" - Waleed Al Shehri, Abdulaziz Al Omari, Saeed Alghamdi, and possibly Khalid Al Midhar - were alive, and that FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged "the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt."

All the actual video clips, news reports for these can be found, as someone above mentioned, by a few minutes on google.

Buz, i dont want to appear rude, as this issue is too important not to take seriously. People think they remember what happened on 911, I did to, except I came to realize I only remembered what the mainstream media had told me over the previous 6 years.

A few years ago a movie "911 Revisited" was shown on mainstream TV around europe on the anniversary of 911. I was sat on in a rec-room at work and watched it with some work colleagues. We were stunned, shocked and dismayed to see what actually happened.

I urge you to spend 45 minutes watching it. Its just clips of actual news footage from the day from the major news stations, no propaganda (from either point of view), no analysis, just raw footage of the events that day.

Please take the time to watch it, and then make up your mind.

Andreas von Buelow, PhD – Former State Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Defense of West Germany. Former Minister of Research and Technology. Member of Bundestag (Parliament) 1969 - 1994.
Member: Political Leaders for 9/11 Truth Association Statement:

"architects, engineers, firefighters, intelligence officers, lawyers, medical professionals, military officers, philosophers, religious leaders, physical scientists, and pilots.......they have established beyond any reasonable doubt that the official account of 9/11 is false and that, therefore, the official “investigations” have really been cover-up operations.

Thus far, however, there has been no response from political leaders in Washington or, for that matter, in other capitals around the world. Our organization, Political Leaders for 9/11 Truth, has been formed to help bring about such a response.

We believe that the truth about 9/11 needs to be exposed now---not in 50 years as a footnote in the history books---so the policies that have been based on the Bush-Cheney administration’s interpretation of the 9/11 attacks can be changed.

We are, therefore, calling for a new, independent investigation of 9/11 that takes account of evidence that has been documented by independent researchers but thus far ignored by governments and the mainstream media."


Article/Interview 1/13/02: "The planning of the attacks was technically and organizationally a master achievement. To hijack four huge airplanes within a few minutes and within one hour, to drive them into their targets, with complicated flight maneuvers! This is unthinkable, without years-long support from secret apparatuses of the state and industry." http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/VonBuelow


Documentary Shadowplay 2008: "This whole behavior of government after 9/11 shows me that there must be these people which brought it about. It must be very, very high up. ... I think so. It's a covert operation, a typical covert operation where you have patsies, false flag, where you prepare everything to blame different people from the people which really did the things. But they are able to influence the public opinion in order to say, 'Well, the Muslims are our real foes, which we have to fight.'" http://www.youtube.com
 
rethinker
It's great to see a reporter finally giving the 9/11 movement some objective coverage. Well done, Charlie Smith.
 
Strategis
Great points above, 9/11 truthers. Of course, the evidence that has been assembled independently since 9/11 would comprise a sizeable film, article and video library, and take thousands of hours to fully evaluate. Once again, the common theme is that the evidence deniers are misinformed and malinformed, whereas the 9/11 truthers have done reams of research, and are in many cases more professionally qualified to evaluate the evidence objectively and scientifically.

A new and thoroughly independent investigation of this pivotal crime case needs to be done in order to put this fake War on Terror to rest, and to hold the real culprits fully accountable. They must be stopped before they pull another stunt like that, and propel North America over the precipice into full martial law.

Majority of Canadian believe 9-11 was a conspiracy.
Majority of second graders believe in Santa.
 
Strategis
The Bush administration propaganda regarding 9/11 is the factual and ideological foundation for the perpetual global "War on Terror" whose price tag in dozens of ways can be counted in millions of injuries and lost lives, loss of quality of lives, refugees, destruction of property, paranoia, fear, racism, and trillions of dollars in economic waste.

By dismantling 9/11 we dismantle all this unnecessary destruction, militarism, security, spying, police state reforms, horror and waste. By dismantling 9/11, we can dismantle 95% of the $1 billion Olympics security budget, for instance. It matters. It is relevevant. Dismantle the 9/11 Tower of Lies now! Let's get back to reality and back onto the road to peace and world harmony and cooperation.

Flameon, look up the DEFINITION of the word conspiracy instead of just using
the term as our cowardly, complicit, controlled media do as a "thought
stopper" to get people to sheepishly park their brains and refrain from
probing deeper than the sanctioned boundaries of officialdom.

Conspiracies happen everyday. If you subscribe to the caveman - kamikazzi
official conspiracy theory, then it follows you must also believe that bin
Laden and Co. were the conspirators behind the attacks.

That you've apparently fallen victim to the deliberate misuse of the word
"conspiracy" to silence debate, speaks volumes of how effectively
mass mind control is propagated by mass media and co.

Whether you think some 6 ft guy with a dye job on kidney dialysis - (even in a Pakistani military hospital for dialysis on Sept. 10, 2001! ) is behind 9/11
or some other entities are - some parties had to conspire to create
9/11...

Bottom line, everyone who thinks they know who orchestrated 9/11
has a conspiracy theory... It's just a matter of WHICH theory you
choose to accept.

... The real tin-foils are those naive enough to actually buy
that caveman kidney dialysis dye job bin Laden and his aviation dumbell kamikazzis could not only take down the world's most powerful military, intelligence industrial complex not once but multiple times in a single day and defy the laws of physics to boot.

YOU make me laugh!
 
Strategis
Notice that the 9/11 fundamentalists can only use puerile antics to try to undermine the arguments of the 9/11 truth advocates. Anyone who actually spends a few hours with an open mind perusing the evidence that alot is wrong with the official coverup conspiracy theory will see that this pivotal event requires closer examination by a competent, independent commission. Even if they don't possess legal subpoena powers, they can make alot of informed conclusions from publicly available data.

If the independent 9/11 Truth Commission are granted full access to all US government records and classified data, plus sworn testimony of invoked witnesses, then the fuller truth might finally be disclosed. But that would likely implicate many people of power and privilege within the US administration, military and intelligence community who will stop at literally nothing to prevent that from occurring.
