Stop the War- Fight The Right!

by International ANSWER (answer [at] actionsf.org)
Thurs. January 20th 5pm Civic Center in SF. On the day that Bush is inaugurated, join people in DC, LA, Seattle, San Francisco and around the country to protest war, occupation and the right wing agenda.
Bring the Troops Home Now! End Occupation, from Iraq & Palestine to Haiti, Afghanistan and everywhere!
• Stand Against Racism at Home and Abroad!
• Money for Jobs, Healthcare, Schools –
Not for the Pentagon War Machine!
• Save Social Security! Defend Workers’ Rights!
• Defend Roe v. Wade & Women’s Reproductive Rights!
• Equal Marriage Rights for All!
• Stop the Attacks on Immigrant and Civil Rights!

As Bush takes the oath of office for his second presidential term on January 20, 2005, thousands of people will protest Bush’s war and right-wing agenda.
As he rides his limousine down Pennsylvania Ave., he and the world will hear opposition from people in the U.S. loud and clear. Bush intends to continue the occupation of Iraq indefinitely, and unlimited support for Israel's war against the Palestinian people. He is determined to maintain U.S. occupation and aggression against Cuba, Haiti, Afghanistan, Korea, the Philippines, Sudan, Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Colombia, and other countries.
Meanwhile the right-wing has been emboldened and attacks at home are increasing—on women and reproductive rights, on immigrants and people of color, on equal marriage rights and the LGBT community, on education, the right to healthcare, social security and workers’ rights. We cannot win any of these struggles in isolation. But together we are more powerful than Bush, the Pentagon and Corporate America. Join us on Jan. 20–Unite to Fight the Right!

To this list of demands must be added the demand of the 9/11 Truth Movement, the brightest star of the Peace Movement: Expose the 9/11 Hoax.

Exposing the 9/11 Hoax is fundamental to fighting fascism.

I look forward to any and all speakers from the 9/11 Truth Movement being speakers at the peace rallies, including but not limited to Ralph Schoenman and Mya Shone (best known as guest speakers on the KPFA, 94.1 FM, program, Guns & Butter, heard Wednesdays at 2 p.m.), Michael Ruppert, David Ray Griffin, Jim Hoffman, Don Paul, Catherine Austin Fitts, Paul Thompson and Carol Brouillet.

I remind the socialist organizers of these peace rallies that it was the Bulgarian communist, George Dimitrov, who put the Nazis on the witness stand and proved that the Nazis, not he, burned down the German government building in 1933, the Reichstag, so as to perpetrate war and fascism, thus winning his acquittal.

The 9/11 Hoax was a Reichstag Fire. That is evident from the books written by the authors above. I expect the socialist organizers of this demonstration have read all the books of the authors above as political activists always do their homework. At the very least, you should have read Crossing The Rubicon, The New Pearl Harbor, The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions; Waking Up From Our Nightmare, and The Terror Timeline.

too much drinking in Christmas, even for a Socialist.

ANSWER: who never met a Stalinst North Korean they didn't like. Do not be fooled by these people...they do NOT have your interests at heart, only their agenda matters to them. ANSWER has NOT been the answer, but rather the problem. Through their "efforts" the peace movement, the anti-globalization movement and others have been coopted by these jerks. They take credit for events they did not organize. They claim credit for ideas that are not theirs. They have only one goal: taking control of the radical Left for their own agenda.

This writer never drinks any alcohol and finds it insulting and absurd that anyone who claims to oppose Bush's policies believes the government's EVER-CHANGING conspiracy theory of the 9/11/01 Hoax.

At the very least, as you watched the events on TV, you must have realized that our air defense system could have easily stopped the first bombing of the World Trade Center, much less all the other events of 9/11/01. Since they did not, you would know that they were told to stand down, which can only be done by the highest authorities, namely the president, vice-president or secretary of defense, depending on who is in charge. As Ruppert makes clear in his book, Crossing the Rubicon, VP Dick Cheney was in charge from the White House bunker, directing the whole show.

You would then receive your tip-off that ths was staged from the fact that the president was sitting in his brother's Florida fiefdom, reading a goat story to children, while the 9/11/01 hoax transpired, instead of acting as commander-in-chief.

The mass murder of 9/11/01 was the CIA's Operation Northwoods realized, a plan approved by the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff but vetoed by Pres. Kennedy to carry out all kinds of agent provocateur actions for which the CIA is infamous, including blowing up a US airplane filled with passengers and blaming it on Cuba, for an excuse to invade Cuba, which had had a revolution in 1959.

Six of the so-called hijackers are alive; the planes were on automatic pilot, run by the US military. There were no Arab names on the passenger lists. And even if you did not know any of this, you must ask, how is it possible for the government to supposedly know nothing about these "hijackers" before 9/11/01 but shortly afterwords, suddenly know the names of all of them? And further, how is it possible that they are supposedly devout Muslims while they are also supposedly heavy drinkers and womanizers?

When you have contradictions like this, and ever changing timelines, and the refusal by Bush to have an official investigation until he could not avoid pretending to have one, at which time he set up a whitewash commission, as described by both Ruppert and Griffin, then you know the government's story is a lie.

One member of the government, Condolezza Rice, its national security advisor, admitted on CNN to notifying then "mayor" Willie Brown of San Francisco that something would be happening with the airlines a few hours after her call and he should stay off airplanes. This was reported on Pacifica on May 17, 2002.

As Ruppert points out, the government had the motive, means and opportunity, unlike anyone else, and it is the government (that is the capitalist class for which the government works) benefited the most from both the war profiteering and the fascism in preventing a labor movement at home, notably an ILWU strike.

Both the North and South Towers and Building 7 were brought down by construction explosives in the matter of a few seconds' time in their own footprint, with the pieces small enough to be carted away immediately, which they were, thus destroying evidence. We still have videos which clearly show construction explosives caused the collapse of these 3 buildings. The South Tower, which was hit second, came down first. These steel buildings could not possibly have been brought down by the small fires which were emitting black smoke, signs of dying fires, while the buildings were still standing, and firefighters made it to the first floor that was hit of one of them, proving that the fires were not serious at all. Building 7 was not hit by any plane, yet its leaseholder, Larry Silverstein, admitted on CNN that he approved detonating the construction explosives set inside of it. There were all kinds of important government offices at Building 7 as described in Ruppert's book, Crossing the Rubicon.

The South Tower had been officially closed the weekend before for alleged rewiring for computers, when obviously it was to set construction explosives in both the North and South Towers.

The primary owners of the maintenance company of the World Trade Center were Bush's brother, Melvin Bush, and a cousin.

The Pentagon section that was damaged was under construction at the time and it is most likely that it was damaged by construction explosives. It certainly was not hit by a huge airplane.

This creation of a pretext for war and fascism is not new in history. We have the added economic crisis, where the rich are richer than ever before, totally removed from the lives of the rest of us, and you have a setup for the chickens coming home to roost, that is, the CIA's heinous crimes that have been perpetrated abroad now being perpetrated at home, for th benefit of the same capitalist class. As Ruppert says, the CIA is Wall Street.

It was on Wall Street that we saw all kinds of insider trading involving the airlines used on 9/11/01 and the businesses at the WTC just before the 9/11/01 government's mass murder. No serious investigation and naming of beneficiaries has been done, all in violation of the law. Ruppet does an excellent job in covering the insider trading.

This is a class society, where the capitalist class will do anything to maximize its profits. The vicious exploitation of the workingclass is th daily crime against humanity; the 9/11/01 Reichstag Fire is part of that goal to maximize their profits. After all, 42,000 people die every year in traffic accidents because it is more profitable to promote the private passenger automobile than non-profit public transportation. The ruling class is responsible for those 42,000 annual deaths, and they are responsible for the 3,000 deaths on 9/11/01 at the WTC and the Pentagon.

We expect that speakers from the 9/11 Truth Movement will be heard at the January 20 protest of election-fraud Bush's inauguration.

Well, "Leo," it looks like you're up to your usual reactionary tricks, red baiting and slandering a group that you know nothing about. The lowest form of life on this planet is a red baiter. Red baiting only serves the interests of the radical right and the neo-con Bush dictatorship.
