In 9/11 Press for Truth, five of the most prominent members
of the Family Steering Committee tell their story for the
first time, providing the most powerful argument yet for why
9/11 still needs to be investigated. The documentary is
based in part on the Complete 9/11 Timeline that was
compiled by citizen investigator Paul Thompson using the
Cooperative Research website. Support Thompson's research
and this site by buying a DVD from us today! You can also
donate. We need your help!

HOUR TWO GUEST: Renowned 9/11 researcher Paul Thompson will
join Randi in-studio for the hour to cut through the crap in
ABC’s “docudrama”, delve into Pakistan’s history of hating
America and protecting terrorists, remind us what we already
know to be true about 9/11, and to explore what has yet to
be uncovered.
Thompson’s 9/11 Timeline
The new film based on the 9/11 Timeline, 9/11: Press for
Truth
Speaking of the 9/11 docudrama, Bill Clinton’s pissed and
justifiably so. ABC won’t even give him a copy of the
miniseries, even though the Limbaugh’s and brown shirt
bloggers didn’t even need to ask for the inside scoop.
Worse yet, this piece of fiction is being schlepped to
students and teachers as fact.
ThinkProgress.org has much more on this topic.
9/11 Commissioner Richard Ben-Veniste appeared on last
night’s Olbermann to put some truth on the record about this
docudrama. See it here.

THE BLATANT HYPOCRISY OF RELIGIOUS RIGHT REPUBLICANS
Chapter 1
Said Jesus, “For all they that take the sword shall perish
with the sword.”
Regardless of their lord’s words, groups of “good
Christians” will feel compelled to take up arms against me
for writing this book.
Thankfully, Jesus also stated that the truth would set me
free.
Chapter 2
This isn’t a pro Christian book. It isn’t anti Christian
either. It’s just a declaration of truth.
I’m a Jew. Well, I’m barely a Jew. I’m as non-practicing as
one can be. If I had to be labeled, you’d call me
“spiritual”. I believe in God. I believe in the connection
of all things.
I read up on metaphysical masters. Prophets. Obviously,
Jesus was one of them.
Above all, I’m an American. I was once proud to be American.
Now I’m simply disgusted and embarrassed.
It’s been said that our Constitution is a living document.
Thanks to our current administration, it’s on life support.
Chapter 3
Revolutionary War – 25,324 Americans Killed.
Civil War – 562,190 Americans Killed.
World War I - 116,708 Americans Killed.
World War II – 408,306 Americans Killed.
Korea – 54,246 Americans Killed.
Vietnam – 58,219 Americans Killed.
President George W. Bush and his pals are defecating on
their graves.
The Founding Fathers would be appalled.
Chapter 4
Why did I write this book?
Am I chock full of answers? Am I proficient in political
strategy? Am I in touch with the inner workings of
government?
No, no and no. I’m just a guy who watches the news. I’m just
a guy who wants his country back.
Chapter 5
Here’s something you should know about me – I have two
weaknesses. The first being chocolate. If it’s in front of
me, I’m going to eat it. All of it. My other weakness is the
complete lack of will power I possess when I hear people
discussing politics. I have to jump right in and offer my
two cents.
My favorite is when I hear my one of these brainwashed,
neo-conservative, Jesus freaks spewing their poison.
Unfortunately, it always proves to be an exercise in
futility. Every debate ends in stalemate. .
Why is there never a clear winner? Because it’s impossible
to converse with someone who doesn’t acknowledge simple,
universal logic. It’s a waste a breath to converse with
someone who’s more loyal to the talking points of the
Republican Party then they are to the United States.
But late one night in a bar, I figured out how to win.
A guy in his early 40’s was regurgitating what he probably
heard on Rush Limbaugh’s radio show earlier in the day. The
ears of patrons perked, sides were taken and an all out war
of words ensued.
The Rush replica said something about George W. being a good
Christian.
That’s when I swooped in like the Caped Crusader. He wasn’t
expecting this liberal Jew from New York to be well versed
in the teachings of his favorite carpenter.
“So, I guess you believe in Jesus?” I asked.
The smirk he responded with was sign language for,
“Obviously.”
Finally, I had one these bozos boxed in. He was too pompous
and self-righteous to see the trap he was walking into.
“Then let me ask you this,” I calmly said. “Do you think
Jesus would drop phosphorous bombs on his fellow human
beings?”
This guy didn’t even have time to turn the other cheek. In
that moment, I was the Bruce Lee of democracy - too quick to
defend against.
Checkmate. Pack up your stuff and go home. Try not to let
the Bill of Rights or The Bible smack you on the way out.
Chapter 6
The Ten Commandments
1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5. Honor thy father and thy mother.
6. Thou shalt not kill.
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt not steal.
9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
10. Thou shalt not covet.
By the way, as I’m sure you know, Jesus had nothing to do
with receiving the Ten C’s. That was Moses’ gig.
Speaking of Moses, please excuse me for a moment while I
address all of the Jew haters out there - NEWSFLASH - Jesus
was Jewish! The idiocy of anti-Semitism is astounding to me.
The guy you pray too was born a Jew and was crucified as a
Jew. The last supper was a Passover sader. You know, the
holiday with the matzah.
And another thing about Jesus – we know him as a white guy
because that’s how he’s depicted in every painting and
picture. But Europeans are Caucasian. Jesus was born in the
Middle East. There’s a good chance he looked quite similar
to the Iraqis we’re bombing as I type this.
One last thing before we move on: NOTE TO ALL REPUBLICANS
READING THIS: When we, the true patriots, call you out on
your evil doings, the “Bill Clinton was the devil” defense
won’t save you. Anyone with an IQ over 60 will see through
your sophomoric diversion.
But since you won’t be able to contain yourselves from
further smearing the former fornicating president, I’ll just
quote a bumper sticker I recently saw, “When Clinton Lied,
No One Died”.
Chapter 7
What Wouldn’t Jesus Do
Jesus wouldn’t lie.
Jesus wouldn’t steal.
Jesus wouldn’t cheat.
Jesus wouldn’t covet his neighbor’s goods or wife.
Jesus wouldn’t judge.
Jesus wouldn’t place blame.
Jesus wouldn’t instill fear.
Jesus wouldn’t refuse to forgive.
Jesus wouldn’t withhold love.
Jesus wouldn’t kill.
If you’ve ever read his words, you’d know he was primarily
concerned with unconditional love and forgiveness.
Chapter 8
"Should any political party attempt to abolish social
security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws
and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in
our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of
course, that believes you can do these things. Among them
are… …a few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional
politician or business man from other areas. Their number is
negligible and they are stupid."
- President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in a letter to his
brother, November 8, 1954
Chapter 9
“How many observe Christ’s birthday! How few his precepts!
O! ‘tis easier to keep holidays than commandments.” Benjamin
Franklin
As the governor of Texas, George Bush oversaw the executions
of 152 people.
Would Jesus have done the same? Let me ask again - would
Jesus the Christ, the most unconditionally loving man ever
to walk the face of the earth, ever harm another living
creature regardless of the crime committed?
The end.
Chapter 10
What are you still doing here?
This book is finished.
How much more evidence is required?
The hypocrisy is undeniable. A man of faith, a “good
Christian”, would never condone murder let alone command
others to kill.
Case closed.
Chapter 11
Your persistence has paid off. We’ll continue to shine the
light of truth on the rampant stealing, lying, profiteering
and killing.
But before we go on, I just want to let you know that I
almost didn’t write this book.
After giving that guy in the bar a verbal beat down, the
title What Wouldn’t Jesus Do appeared in my consciousness.
The floodgates of thought opened and I scrambled to get it
all on paper – George Bush, Prescott Bush, Hurricane
Katrina, Twin Towers, Pat Robertson, Cindy Sheehan, Terri
Schievo, spying on Americans, the ever so wretched bill
o’reilly (I refuse to even capitalize his name), etc etc
etc.
The heat of anger spread through my body like a cobra
strike. It was then I remembered something that MOTHER
TERESA once said (she deserves all caps). She was asked if
she was against war. She replied that she wasn’t against war
but was for peace.
Not even a nano amount of negativity would escape from that
woman’s mouth.
I decided to scrap this book idea because I also didn’t want
to add any further negativity to the world.
I changed my mind a few weeks later while visiting a friend
in Washington DC. I wanted to see the graves of JFK and RFK
so he took me to Arlington National Cemetery. Their plots
are beautifully unassuming.
We serendipitously caught the Changing of the Guard at The
Tomb of the Unknowns. It absolutely leveled me. Such pride
and honor and sacrifice.
Within a few minutes, the anger returned. Our brave
servicemen and women are required to solute these spineless
and heartless pencil pushers. Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bush
have not earned the soldier’s respect.
YES, I KNOW - PRESIDENT CLINTON NEVER EVEN SERVED. Neither
did my grandma but her military record is as relevant as
Clinton’s when discussing the blatant hypocrisy of the
Right.
