Congressman John Conyers, Jr. replies to Supporters of his petition

Email from Congressman John Conyers, Jr.

Dear Friend:

Thank you for signing the Downing Street Minutes letter to the president. I personally delivered your letter to the White House last Thursday.

Your participation in this issue has made a difference. The mainstream media has been very slow to report on this British Intelligence document claiming that evidence was being "fixed" to support the lead up to war against Iraq.

Yet, the neither the media nor President Bush could ignore the massive groundswell of interest demonstrated by the more than 560,000 individuals who joined you in signing this letter.

On Thursday, I led a hearing about the Downing Street Minutes to receive testimony from former Ambassador Joe Wilson, 27-year CIA veteran Ray McGovern, constitutional lawyer John Bonifaz, and Cindy Sheehan, who lost her son in Iraq.

Despite desperate attempts by Republicans to disrupt the proceedings, 32 Members of Congress attended this hearing. We were forced to use a cramped room in the basement of the Capitol little bigger than a closet, even though plenty of larger hearing rooms were available. The Republican Leadership also scheduled votes for nearly two straight hours in an unprecedented attempt to limit the ability of Democratic Members of Congress to participate in this hearing.

Thanks to your help, and the more than 560,000 individuals who signed this letter, the mainstream media felt compelled to cover this event. The room was packed with television cameras and there was significant coverage in national newspapers and radio networks. After the hearing I hand delivered the list of signatures along with a letter to the president signed by 122 Members of Congress demanding answers, and led a rally outside the White House.

We still have much more to do to make President Bush answer the questions raised by the Downing Street Minutes. Much work remains for us to bring this issue to the attention of all Americans.

Please forward this email to friends who want to sign the letter to the president and help get the truth out.

Sincerely,

Congressman John Conyers, Jr.

Bush on the Constitution: 'It's just a goddamned piece of paper'

Read it here.

I would like to ask you all to watch this video. There was a rave in Utah. The NeoCons thought there might be anti-Bush's-visit talk going on, so they sent armed, camoed SWAT soldiers with helicopters to stop the party, as apparently such talk is now illegal. Three of them decided to repeatedly kick a young woman in the chest and stomach. Watch it streaming at this external site, or download it here. (.mov, 16.5MB) Read more about it, including the official "explanation" at Wikinews. However, it appears that there is still some slim hope in Utah. Check out what Salt Lake City's Mayor said here about the world's most evil man and his henchmen (and henchwoman) at KUTV's site.

Is the predicted civil war beginning? I predict that Bush & Co. will stage another attack, this one being quite severe, in order to use nuclear weapons on Iran. At that time they'll institute martial law, and then "it" will truly begin. These incidents are "tests" of the system, and will increase in frequency.

The following is lifted from The Memory Hole Read the whole article at the link below...

And here's something to kick around. Still answering this question, Rumsfeld goes on to make a strange statement:

"It is a truth that a terrorist can attack any time, any place, using any technique and it's physically impossible to defend at every time and every place against every conceivable technique. Here we're talking about plastic knives and using an American Airlines flight filed with our citizens, and the missile to damage this building and similar (inaudible) that damaged the World Trade Center. The only way to deal with this problem is by taking the battle to the terrorists, wherever they are, and dealing with them."

"Missile?" "Missile?" What missile would that be? Did he let something slip? Or was this just a gaffe? A bad choice of words? A transcription error? Until we know for sure, it deserves scrutiny.

911 Lies Under Fire - Truth Finally Emerging By Greg Szymanski 9-19-5

Former 9-11 commissioner Timothy Roemer avoided answering questions, running like a scared rabbit when confronted by William Rodriguez, the WTC custodian who wanted to know why his dissenting testimony was omitted in the final report, during a rally marking the fourth anniversary of the terrorist attacks. "The 9-11 truth will be told. Bush and Cheney will be indicted for treason and murder. And immediately . . .the killing and illegal war in Iraq [will be stopped]." These were the strong and poignant words ringing through the streets of New York Sunday as more than 250 9-11 truth protesters marched carrying "Impeach Bush" and "9-11 Inside Job" signs. The rally started at The New York Times Building and ended at the UN. Organized by members of the web site, ny911truth.org, the rally was called to vent anger and make the public aware of the concerted effort by the mainstream media and the government to keep the truth about what really happened on 9-11 from the American people. Although the corporate-elite media came out earlier in the day in force to cover the Ground Zero activities in honor of the 9-11 victims on the fourth anniversary of the tragedy, the mainstream media was predictably absent from protest rally just like it has been purposely absent for four years in covering compelling stories that contradict the government's official account. Protesters passed by FOX, CNN and NBC buildings, to emphasize their feelings that media suppression has been primarily responsible for keeping America from the truth about 9-11 and largely responsible for allowing government officials to get away with the murder of 3,000 fellow citizens at Ground Zero. Rodriguez, the last survivor of the North Tower, told of explosions emanating from the sub-level basement of the tower, prior to the plane striking the upper floors. His account has been systematically suppressed by the government, mainstream media and the 9-11 Commission. "They have done everything in their power to ignore my statements, which directly contradict the government story," said Rodriguez as the crowd chanted, "Let the truth be told." "I have at least 27 other people who are ready to testify that they also heard explosions, all of whom have been completely ignored by the 9-11 Commission. Also, the last drop of water fell from the glass and I realized all hope was lost to get at the truth when the testimony I gave the commission behind closed doors last year was omitted from the final report." This time, however, Rodriguez broke new ground, when, for the first time after four years, a major news outlet carried his story. His story aired on a one-hour, pre-recorded special for ABC radio and its nationwide affiliates. The story aired on the East Coast with comments by author David Ray Griffin, who has written a scathing report about at least 101 lies in the final 9-11 Commission report. Griffin, who has written two books about government lies and the government cover-up of 9-11, said the 9-11 Commission report, which received a national book award, should have been declared a "national disgrace." Former Lt. Col. (USAF) Dr. Robert Bowman called for the immediate removal of President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and their cronies on charges of treason and murder. Bowman, who flew over 100 Vietnam combat missions and worked under presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, said he took a solemn oath to protect his country from foreign and domestic enemies, including a rogue president like Bush. "9-11 is based on a pack of lies. It wasn't misjudgment; it was treason," said Bowman as he called for removal of what he called the mob and crooks in the White House. Bowman told the audience that while walking in the march he received a kiss on the cheek from a member of a family that lost a loved one in the 9-11 attacks. He reassured the audience that those seeking truth about 9-11 and the illegal war in Iraq w ere "doing the right thing." Donna Marsh gave the most emotional appeal. Tears came to her eyes and the eyes of many when she recalled how her pregnant daughter perished at Ground Zero because of what she called "criminals in the White House." "My daughter called after the first plane hit at 8:46 a.m. and said she was told not to leave the South Tower because it was safe. In fact she was told not to leave or she would be fired," said Marsh. She repeated her statements on a Monday morning radio show hosted By Joyce Riley called "The Power Hour" on Genesis Broadcasting Network. "Where was NORAD? What really happened in those buildings? Why did they collapse so quickly like a controlled demolition? There are just so many unanswered questions the government refuses to answer. What conclusion can be made other than our own government was involved in killing my daughter and 3,000 other Americans?" asked Marsh. "I want George W. Bush [to know], he can no longer use my daughter's name to spread war and killing throughout the world. From this day forward, I want my daughter's name removed permanently from the official 9-11 victims list." After the two-hour rally, protesters doubled in size as they congregated at St. Mark's Church. "As Americans we can no longer live in fear of George W. Bush and his band of criminals, who all belong behind bars in jail," said attorney Phil Berg. "I promise I will never stop searching for the truth, and one day the truth will be told."
