FTW, December 5, 2001 -
On November 28th an estimated 1,000 people came from as far away as
Seattle and San Francisco to Portland State University to see FTW
Publisher/Editor Mike Ruppert give a 2 ½ hour lecture and documentary
presentation on the events surrounding the September 11th attacks and
their aftermath. Starting with an offer of $1,000 to anyone who could show
that any of the sources he cited were not authentic or misrepresented,
Ruppert launched into an display of more than 40 visual exhibits showing
government complicity in and foreknowledge of the attacks.

The event was organized by the campus newspaper The Rear Guard and its
editor Dimitris Desyllas. "I never expected that we would have this kind
of turnout," Desyllas said. "But it is obvious that the public has very
deep concerns about what we are being told and what the government is
doing. We eventually brought in 860 chairs and there were people all
around the walls and on the floor." One of the volunteer videographers at
the event was a Native American spiritual teacher of the Dakota Sioux
nation, Skip Mahawk. Mahawk, then with the 101st Airborne Division, won
the Congressional Medal of Honor at the legendary 1969 Vietnam War battle
known as Hamburger Hill. Mahawk refused to accept the decoration.

Ruppert's lecture was full of documentary evidence. After pointing out -
among other things - that the Chief of Pakistani intelligence (approved
for his position by the CIA) ordered a $100,000 wire transfer to lead
hijacker Mohammed Atta; that the Bush family had business dealings with
the bin Laden family through the Carlyle Group, that the U.S. and British
governments had extensive military deployments already in the area before
the attacks, and that the Bush administration had ordered the FBI to stop
investigating two relatives of Osama bin Laden living near CIA
headquarters this January, Ruppert launched into the centerpiece of the
lecture which was a visual presentation of his timeline of events around
September 11th - which left some members of the audience in tears. See:

Special attention was also paid to a newly resurrected Unocal pipeline to
transport oil and natural gas from the Central Asian republics to the
Pakistani coast for sale to China and Japan. Henry Kissinger is on both
ends of that deal.

Audience reaction and anger was strongest as Ruppert presented selected
quotes from "The Grand Chessboard," a 1997 book by former Carter National
Security Advisor and member of the Trilateral Commission, Zbigniew
Brzezinski. Those quotes - along with maps of Central Asia - indicated
clearly that the current war had been in the planning stages for at least
four years. Two particular quotes from Brzezinski indicating the need for
a Pearl Harbor-like attack evoked boos and hisses for the intelligence
expert and professor who also served in the Reagan Administration.

Ruppert closed the lecture with an analysis of the assault on American
civil liberties since September 11th in the form of the so-called PATRIOT
Act and several unilateral decisions made by President Bush and Attorney
General John Ashcroft which have effectively nullified three amendments to
the Bill of Rights and taken away part of another. He also showed
documentary evidence from Congress supporting his claim that the Bush
administration was going to loot the Social Security Trust Fund.

The audience responded to the lecture with a two minute standing ovation.
