February 18, 2010 Let the People Decide the Truth about 9/11 By Dean Hartwell (source) How can the government investigate itself? It can, of course. But the results are atrocious when it comes to presenting the undisputed facts of events. To investigate the murder of President John Kennedy, the new President, Lyndon Johnson, appointed a commission of seven members to what became known as the Warren Commission. This commission took the place of other groups that sought to call witnesses and examine evidence, such as a grand jury in Texas. The Warren Report did not deliver the facts of the case. Instead it ignored reliable witnesses and allowed fabricated evidence in its conclusion, which was designed to blame an innocent person for what only agents of the government could have done. Other government agencies and commissions have failed to arrive at the truth. A group of Los Angeles Police Department officers, including Robert Houghton, wrote Special Unit Senator to give the government's account of the murder of Robert Kennedy. They, too, framed an innocent person in part by distorting the distance and the direction the accused was in relation to Kennedy and ignoring overwhelming evidence of bullets unaccounted for. Many years after the fact, a Congressional committee considered the "October Surprise" story of Ronald Reagan campaign advisors making a deal with the Iranian leaders to delay the release of United States hostages.The Committee ignored evidence of the Iranians suddenly becoming uninterested in talking to the Jimmy Carter Administration, pilot testimony of flying Reagan's representatives to France and Vice-Presidential candidate George H.W. Bush's hollow alibi in whitewashing the whole story. Now our nation needs the truth about the attacks of 9/11 and other incidents so as to form the best policy in regards to our security. Already another presidential commission has assured us that the government was not involved in the attacks. It is time to use a different method to get the truth before the perpetrators strike again. We could use a grand jury in New York to gather testimony and allow the panel to decide whom to indict and then send the accused to trial. But while it sounds ideal to use our legal system in this way, our court system has shown little success in convicted agents of the government and there is little reason for this to be any different. The solution is to let the public decide. Let the "conspiracy" researchers like Michael Ruppert, James Fetzer and Alex Jones form a team, allow them to assemble their final conclusion based on fulfilling the elements of crimes and then allow them to be cross-examined by government officials and anyone else who believes the official theory. The government could then present its own evidence and after a reasonable amount of cross-examination, the two sides would finish their cases. Then let the public cast its votes on who told the truth. We would have polling places in the same manner as elections and only persons sworn to neutrality would count the votes as to which side it believed. No matter the tally, people would still debate 9/11 but because two sides would compete in an adversarial process, we would all know more about the truth than ever before. Author's Website: www.deanhartwell.com Author's Bio: Dean Hartwell has written the newly-released book "Dead Men Talking: Consequences of Government Lies" and previously wrote "Truth Matters: How the Voters Can Take Back Their Nation." Convinced that the government has no interest in telling us the truth about JFK, RFK, 9/11 or its other actions, he will prove its involvement in these crimes in the hopes of preventing future ones. As a Glendale CA bureaucrat, he talks about how we can make our government work better for us. As a long-time municipal employee with degrees in political science, public administration and law, he identifies the sources of our discontent with our officials. The government is not a monolithic unit, but instead the sum of the characters that act in any given situation. Remember that "rumors fly, the truth walks"

Oh, wouldn't this be sweet!!!! The public directly voting on germane issues, and what could be better than 911. Terrific idea. Trouble is, I am very fearful that this could backfire: here's why: of course the media will still be in corporate hands. And they'll crank up the mighty wurlitzer of propaganda to influence the masses, people too much believe their TV sets, probably because they were weaned on TV cartoons and such. I just rewatched an old doc. from 2007 on 911 and it was a hit piece of course on 911 truth. I noticed their technique. For example, on point after vital point, they always labeled the 911 truth claim as "Conspiracy Theory" (implicit putdown) and the Popular Mechanics official viewpoint as the "expert opinion". By doing stuff like that, they can fool the uninitiated.
