The <i>Real</i> Truth About 9/11

I'll be at Ground Zero Tuesday, handing out pamphlets about what really happened on 9/11-- you know, when 19 radical Islamists flew 4 planes full of innocents to their deaths in their quest to kill as many innocent Americans as possible in one fell swoop?

"On this upcoming September 11th, I am putting together a group of people to go down to Ground Zero and hand out pamphlets titled "The Truth About 9/11". Inside the pamphlet will be the actual truth about 9/11 (19 Muslim men flew planes into our buildings, etc.)." More background here.
This Tuesday, 9/11, at 5pm, we will meet at Liberty Park on the corner of Liberty Broadway. I will have materials for hand out. Please join us. Let me know, in the comment section or via email, if you will be attending.

Please come if you can. Countering the Truthers is a great way to honor those who died that day.

Thanks to Karol for arranging the counter-protest.

Update: For Kevin McCullough listeners joining is here at the blog or at Ground Zero tomorrow, here's a bit of a Truther primer.

Here's a column I wrote last year: "Beware the Truthers. Don't Ignore Them."

Avery and his cohorts’ research, theories, and “evidence” are so laughable that it can be easy to laugh off the movement itself. That was my reaction to this crowd until I took the time to watch “Screw Loose Change,” this weekend. “Screw Loose Change” is an extensive, three-hour-long debunking of Avery’s claims, which allows you to view Avery’s film along with a powerful presentation of all the evidence he distorts and omits.

Until I watched it and really let the Avery crowd’s accusations sink in, my reaction to the 9/11 Truthers was to say, “wow, they’re crazy. Moving on.” But I shouldn’t have moved on. I should have stopped and looked at the Truthers and listened to them a lot sooner.

It’s important for those of us who know what took the lives of 3,000 Americans five years ago today—four commercial planes with full loads of jet fuel and passengers driven by 19 murderous maniacs—to understand that there is a disturbingly large and vocal segment of the American population that doesn’t believe that.
