J Street’s conference next week has become a Rorschach test of sorts. More and more members of Congress are dropping out, having discovered just who will be speaking — such as this “poet” who finds Gaza to be another fascistic ghetto, complete with numbers written “on the wrists of babies.” And then there is the 9-11 “truther.” So Sens. Schumer, Gillibrand, Lincoln, and Cochran have bugged out, as have a growing list of congressmen. But not the administration. The Obami are to be represented by National Security Adviser James Jones, who has no problem appearing on the same stage with...

To put it in fairytale terms (the next closest thing to a conspiracy theory), we are taking here about Pinocchio versus Lord Voldemort on steroids and the stimulus package. Or to return to uncles once again, it’s the difference between an uncle who wears his underwear on his head and an uncle who sexually molests 6-year-old girls, strangles them, and then buries their bodies in his backyard. Everything in life, including craziness, is a matter of degrees. That’s why we should be wary of an automatic resort to moral and other equivalence as a debating tactic. To do so risks...

Michelle Malkin asked "Who’s behind “Islam on Capitol Hill?” today. Part of the answer is Sheikh Ahmed Dewidar who, shortly after 9/11, implied Jews were complicit in the mass-murder of the 2,976. On June 6, 2006, the Steven Stalinsky wrote about it in the New York Sun: Within weeks of September 11, 2001, an Egyptian sheik serving as Al-Azhar University's representative in America and an imam at the Islamic Cultural Center and Mosque of New York City, Muhammad al-Gamei'a, was interviewed at an unofficial Al-Azhar University Web site, www.lailatalqadr.com. Sheik al-Gamei'a returned to Egypt shortly after his interview was translated....

This November, New York voters will vote on a ballot initiative to establish an official government "9/11 TRUTHER" commission with subpoena power and a $10 million a yaer budget from PRIVATE DONATIONS. The wording of the ballot initiative is seductive and low-key enough to win a majority of NYC voters, simply asking "Would you like to find out more about what happened on 9/11?" The ballot initiative does NOT make any accusations or mention any conspiracy theories. Therefore, the ballot initiative is likely to pass. Even those who do not believe in the conspiracy theories will want to know more...

The last few days left many of us at a loss of words as we recalled the horrors of September 11th, 2001. But while people share stories of tragic loss and hope, pictures and afterthoughts, we still have the 9/11 “truthers” who like to tell us our fellow Americans died at the hands of our own government. Last night’s Red Eye discussed Charlie Sheen, the latest celebrity truther idiot to shoot off his mouth. He recently released a YouTube video demanding both a meeting with the president and a reinvestigation of 9/11: Sheen’s main message: “We want our country back,...

(Newser Summary) – A New York City group has secured enough valid signatures to put a referendum on the November ballot to force a new investigation into the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. A press release from the New York City Coalition for Accountability Now says city lawyers conceded today that at least a requisite 30,000 of some 52,000 collected by the group were legal. “Although the City has an incredibly successful record of shooting down ballot initiatives, we will be arguing from a fresh perspective that reflects the unprecedented events of 9/11,” says a lawyer for NYC CAN,...

"Truthers" are the people who believe the 9/11 terror attacks were an inside job. That the Bush administration had advance knowledge of them and let them occur. In the more extreme version of an already extremist theory, truthers believe the U.S. government itself carried out the attacks as an excuse to take the nation to war. At the very least the truthers question the official version of events and want the government to reopen the investigation. In a way, they have a lot in common with those who to this day refuse to believe that Lee Harvey Oswald fired the...

NYC CAN Breaking News Bulletin - FORWARD WIDELY September 10, 2009 New York – In a last minute decision, lawyers for the City of New York have conceded that the New York City Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN), a group comprising 9/11 family members, first responders and survivors, indeed did submit over 30,000 valid signatures to put the referendum for a new 9/11 investigation before the voters of New York City this November. In an earlier letter from the City Clerk dated July 24, 2009, the City had claimed only 26,003 signatures were valid, 3,997 short of the requisite...

"Truther" actor Charlie Sheen says President Obama needs to investigate fully the actions and conspiracies he believes resulted in the 9/11 attack on the United States. Sheen, in a fictionalized "interview" with Obama on the PrisonPlanet website, notes that while the conversation did not take place, "This is an open letter to the president requesting a new investigation." Sheen and others contend the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks that killed almost 3,000 people could have been arranged by officials high in the U.S. government to provide a pretext for war. If they did not actually arrange them, government officials at...

Report: Charlie Sheen Seeks Meeting With Obama to Discuss 9/11 'Cover-Up' Wednesday, September 09, 2009 Actor Charlie Sheen is demanding a meeting with President Obama to discuss his belief that the September 11 terror attacks were perpetrated by the federal government. In an interview with PrisonPlanet.com, The “Two and a Half Men” star unveils a fictional 20-minute exchange he imagines having with Obama – whom he supported in the November election – during which he implores the president to get on “the right side of history.” Sheen, 44, argues that “the official 9/11 story is a fraud” and claims the...

For years I have refrained from writing about 9/11 conspiracy theory. But Van Jones' resignation as top green jobs adviser in the Obama administration has compelled me to pick up this battering ram once again. In my PoliticsDaily.com column, I've (partly) blamed 9/11 conspiracy theorists for the downfall of Jones. Not that he's not accountable for his own behavior, but the perpetuators of the 9/11 nonsense launched a virus in left circles, and Jones was not savvy enough to keep clear of it. As I huffed: As far as I can tell, the only thing the so-called 9/11 Truth movement...

It's now been discovered that Van Jones, President Obama's "Green Jobs Czar" is a member of the 9-11 "Truther" movement. Glenn Beck told viewers tonight that although he wanted to lead his program with this revelation, in fairness to the White House he held off until half-way into his show to give the administration time to respond. They never did. While some might think that Beck gets unduly agitated about some of his topics, this ought to be truly chilling to anyone with more than two functioning brain cells. Beck reported that Jones' signature appears on the 9-11 Truth Statement,...

This mornng Gateway Pundit Broke the story that self-proclaimed Communist and Obama Green Jobs Czar was a Truther, someone who believes that 9/11 was planned by George Bush so he could go into Iraq. Gatway Found Van Jone's name on a petition from 2004 that was eventually given over to the NY DA along with their 9/11 claims by the group 9/11truth.org Here at #47 on the list is none other than Barack Obama's communist Green Czar Van Jones: The news that Obama's Green Jobs Czar had a weak link to realty spread through the internet all day and eventially...

In which Gateway Pundit does the Googling that Obama refuses to do. Although honestly, at this point I think Jones’s hiring is best explained not as a breakdown in vetting but as a goof by Obama to see just how much crap the media will let him get away with. “Hey Rahm — bet you 20 bucks I can get a Truther communist appointed to an environmental oversight position.” Birthers at the town halls … and Truthers in the White House. Which has gotten more press coverage? NEW YORK CITY, NY (Oct. 26, 2004) – An alliance of 100 prominent...

A top environmental official of the Obama administration issued a statement Thursday apologizing for past incendiary statement and denying that he ever agreed with a 2004 petition on which his name appears, a petition calling for congressional hearings and an investigation by the New York Attorney General into "evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur." Van Jones, the Special Advisor for Green Jobs at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, is Number 46 of the petitioners from the so-called "Truther" movement which suggests that people in the administration of President...

This is stunning-a 2008 audio of Van Jones explicitly stating that the "Green Jobs" movement will be used to push through "revolutionary" change. I defy anyone to listen to this and tell me that Van Jones is not still a communist. Even more stunning is the only days old admission by "the other half of Obama's Brain" Valerie Jarrett, that "we" have been watching Van Jones for some years and are "so happy to recruit him to the White house" I suggest to readers that they check out this post. It explains that Jarrett's late father-in-law Vernon Jarrett worked closely...

Here is video of a Fox News report tonight by James Rosen on Radical Obama "Green Jobs Czar" Van Jones. The report details all the major evidence of his radicalism that has surfaced over the last couple of weeks. Significantly, toward the end of the report, University of Virginia Political Science Professor Larry Sabato said the "vetting process" clearly broke down with "Mr. Jones." Sabato went on to say: "If a Bush official had made anything comparable to what Mr. Jones has said and done, no doubt there would have been a national hurrah (fuss) of magnificent proportions."This means the...

TEL AVIV – President Obama's controversial "Green Jobs" adviser, Van Jones, signed a statement that alleges the Bush administration may have deliberately allowed the 9/11 attacks, perhaps as a pretext for war. The Gateway Pundit blog found Jones' name among 100 signatories of notable American citizens in the 9/11 statement, which called for an investigation and the formation of an independent inquiry to determine whether members of the Bush administration were involved in the attacks. Jones signed the 2004 statement as the director of the Ella Baker Human Rights Center. The statement, facilitated by the 911truth.org conspiracy website, calls for...

White House green jobs adviser Van Jones' past associations and remarks are stirring controversy at a time when the Obama administration is trying to keep controversy at a minimum. President Obama's "green jobs" adviser could become a mounting liability for the Obama administration, as the latest revelation about Van Jones shows his belief that the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks may have been an inside job. Jones joined the "9/11 truther" movement by signing a statement in 2004 calling for then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer and others to launch an investigation into evidence that suggests "people within the current...

Truthers are stranger than fiction.I've been reporting for a while about what a radical whackjob President Obama's green jobs czar Van Jones is --not was, is-- and then out of the blue we learn Jones thinks President Bush orchestrated the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.Sweet.

The state run media has recently become obsessed with the so-called birther movement ('Birther' Coverage Hits Fever Pitch, Politico 8/10/09. In an effort to paint as kooks those who question Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility to be president or who just want Obama to be more forthcoming about his background, the media compares them to the 9/11 truthers.This same media, (especially Politico and MSNBC) which puts pressure on Republican officials and conservative commenters to distance themselves from birthers, was silent when it came to the Democratic party and Barack Obama embracing a prominent 9/11 truther and Osama bin Laden sympathizer.Jodie Evans,...

Writing in the New York Daily News, James Kirchick highlights the curious trajectory of the recent spate of news stories and blog posts about "birthers"--a fringe group of conspiracy theorists who deny President Obama’s birth in Hawaii and concoct elaborate but specious arguments in favor of his removal from office on the basis that he is not a "natural-born citizen". Because the United States uses a jus solis rule for determining citizenship by birth within the territory of the United States and because the birth certificate already displayed by the Obama campaign last year meets all the legal requirements used...

Forget [ignore] for a moment that Democrats have a supermajority in Congress, control the White House, and that most of the media directly parrots their message without apprehension (I actually saw Howard Dean HOSTING a show the other day on a cable "NEWS" network). Forget [ignore] that with total unchecked power Democrats are responsible for changing/fixing/screwing-up anything and everything in DC now. Instead, let's focus on the mating call of the Australian Lady Gouldian grass finch...or the rantings of people on the political right of the spectrum...both of which are equally important to today's political success/failure in DC. There's been...

Fully 35 percent of Democrats believe George W. Bush had advance knowledge of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Fully 28 percent of Republicans believe Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States.Meet the fanatical third. The tale of two conspiracy theories is the tale of the most polarized among us. The two statistics are based on a poll apiece. Neither is an exact measure. Yet, lots of liberals say take the "birther" poll on face value. Lots of conservatives say take the "truther" poll on face value. So let's listen to both sides.The unsurprising conclusion: you can't reason with arch partisans.On...

The Left and the MSM are filled with stories about the "crazy" Republican base melting down regarding where Obama was born. Politico gives us a quantitative view of the political battle space with this Daily KOS/Research Poll on July 31, 2009. A whopping 58 percent of Republicans either think Barack Obama wasn't born in the US (28 percent) or aren't sure (30 percent). A mere 42 percent think he was. Stories about similar "crazy" Democrats during the Bush presidency never made it much past the right side of the blogosphere. Rasmussen published this poll May 04, 2007. Democrats in America...

WASHINGTON - For a well-known straight shooter, Rep. Collin Peterson has caused a lot of collateral damage this week. The Detroit Lakes Democrat was forced to apologize Tuesday for telling a Capitol Hill newspaper that a quarter of his constituents are conspiracy theorists -- a statement that immediately drew ire from political opponents back home. "Twenty-five percent of my people believe the Pentagon and Rumsfeld were responsible for taking the Twin Towers down," Peterson told the website Politico, explaining why he does not like to hold town hall-style meetings.

Anti-Bush 9-11 "Truthers" get a fair hearing from the New York Times, but anti-Obama "Birthers" are harshly criticized, and Rush Limbaugh is of course to blame. Media reporter Brian Stelter's Saturday Business story, "A Dispute Over Obama's Birth Lives On in the Media," questioned those questioning Obama's birth certificate, his citizenship, and his resulting eligibility for the presidency. Good for the Times. But where is the Times's critcism when liberals gin up wackier conspiracy theories? Back in June 2006, Times reporter Alan Feuer showed far more respect to a conspiracy theory many times more incendiary and implausible: That the 9-11...

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag Pratt shared some controversial views on a radio show earlier this week. In a Monday appearance on Alex Jones' radio show, Infowars, the couple revealed they feel 9/11 was an "inside job," say the idea that global warming exists is "mind boggling" and lament the "end of humanity." The Pratts told Jones -- who is known for his conspiracy theories of a "New World Order" (or, as he feels, code for "totalitarian world government") -- they found out about him after a music producer gave them a copy of Jones' movie, The Obama Deception. "I...

So, I have a conservative pal of mine who - over the past few years - has really become a huge fan of Alex Jones. I don't know a ton about this guy other than that he seems to really propagate certain "conspiracy theories" and such. I tuned into his streaming show today and it just seems like he's really full of a LOT of hate - lots of name-calling, invoking the Lord, Hell and Satan in regards to certain topics. Dunno.. .he seem's a bit "off" to me.. Anyone?

BALTIMORE (Map, News) - E-mails from Holocaust museum shooting suspect James von Brunn indicate that in addition to being a racist, an anti-Semite and a Holocaust denier, he also wrote of his belief that 9/11 was a government conspiracy. Von Brunn mentioned the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in an e-mail criticizing last month's dueling speeches on national security by President Barack Obama and former Vice President Dick Cheney. He wrote that "all informed men" know Sept. 11 was "a USA-Israel inside job."Suspicion of government involvement in the Sept. 11 attacks has grown more widespread. A 2006 poll by Scripps Howard...

Pentagon official blames U.S. for al-Qaida attacks Worked for George Soros, argued for government control of media April 20, 2009 By Aaron Klein © 2009 WorldNetDaily She believes al-Qaida was an "obscure group" turned into a massive threat due to U.S. policies. She's referred to former President Bush as "our torturer in chief" and a "psychotic who need(s) treatment" while comparing Bush's arguments for waging a war on terrorism to Adolf Hitler's use of political propaganda. She's worked on behalf of George Soros' philanthropic foundation. Meet Rosa Brooks, the Obama administration's new adviser to Michelle Fluornoy, the undersecretary of defense...

Rescue Me is back from its 18-month hiatus, and the early episodes of Season 5 prove the show is again firing on all its raucous and raunchy cylinders. But it's also turning a more focused eye back on 9/11 and its impact on the men of 62 Truck. In doing so, this season brings mainstream attention to widespread conspiracy theories that suggest the 9/11 attacks were an "inside job." Fireman Franco Rivera — played by Daniel Sunjata, who in real life subscribes to these same beliefs — becomes the mouthpiece for these ideas on the show, something Sunjata admits he...

Pope Benedict XVI's decision to rehabilitate Holocaust-denier Bishop Richard Williamson back into the Catholic Church has been heavily criticised - but does the Vatican really know the extent of Williamson's outrageous beliefs? Williamson (68) was excommunicated from the Catholic Church in 1988 and has now been rehabilitated by Benedict XVI. He is currently in the priest seminary of the ultra conservative Society of St. Pius X, in Argentina, hidden behind thick walls lined with barbed wire. People around the world are now asking themselves - how could the Pope rehabilitate this madman?

At approximately 4:45 p.m. on Thursday, August 21, 2008, I was in the Clerk of Court's office in the Federal Courthouse in Philadelphia doing part of my job as a legal writer and reading the civil cases which had been filed that day. (Snip) After the man left, the clerk told me that I should probably take a look at the complaint. (Snip) You filed a new lawsuit last week. Tell me about it. This lawsuit is an interpleader action, and the reason we went this way is because an interpleader action will shift the burden of proof to Barack...

As the post-Georgia chill in U.S.-Russian relations continues, the Russian govern-ment has repeatedly declared its readiness to resume a friendly partnership if the United States will reciprocate and abandon its Cold War rhetoric. Yet, at the same time, Moscow has encouraged an orgy of anti-American hysteria in the loyalist Russian media. On September 12, the America-bashing reached a new low: a prime-time special on national television peddling the notion that the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks of September 11, 2001, were an inside job by American warmongers. The special, aired in a program called Closed Screening on the government-controlled...

The well-known WII museum of Normandy, France, authorized within its walls a conference organized by the extremists who pretend 911 was an inside job. Held on September 16, 2008, the conference features several commentators, from the one attributing the 911 attacks to the neocons to the one saying it was the jews. The "Memorial de Caen" was built to commemorate the millions of Allies who landed in France in 1944 to liberate the country.

On the second day of the Democratic National Convention in Denver, a “truther” organization called We Are Change sponsored the convention’s “9/11 Truth March.” I didn’t expect more than a few dozen people to show up, but was surprised and a little disturbed at how large it actually turned out to be — the crowd numbered in the hundreds, not the dozens.

World Trade Center 7 Report Puts 9/11 Conspiracy Theory to Rest Conspiracy theorists have long claimed that explosives downed World Trade Center 7, north of the Twin Towers. The long-awaited report from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) conclusively rebuts those claims. Fire alone brought down the building, the report concludes, pointing to thermal expansion of key structural members as the culprit. The report also raises concerns that other large buildings might be more vulnerable to fire-induced structural failure than previously thought. (Thelink to article's video located at the botton of original article.) World Trade Center 7 stands...

** EXCERPT ** GAITHERSBURG -- Maryland: Fires in the 47-story office tower at the edge of the World Trade Center site undermined floor beams and critical structural columns, federal investigators concluded Thursday, as they attempted to curb still-rampant speculation that explosives or fuel fires had been responsible for the collapse of the building on Sept. 11, 2001. The long-delayed report by engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in suburban Washington is intended to solve one of the lingering questions about the 2001 attacks: Why did the building at 7 World Trade Center fall, if it was not...

Fed Gov't Finds Fires Took Down WTC 7 Building Report Refutes Conspiracy Theories That Explosives Brought Down Skyscraper Next To Twin Towers GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) ― Government investigators have issued a report refuting conspiracy theories that a skyscraper next to the twin towers was brought down by explosives. The report says that fires destroyed World Trade Center 7 on Sept. 11.

Jerome Corsi, author of the New York Times No. 1 best-seller "The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality," has rejected the arguments from "9/11 Truthers" who allege the U.S. government brought about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. That Corsi supported those theories was an allegation made by the campaign for Barack Obama, the Illinois senator who is the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, in a 40-plus-page response to Corsi's book. Obama's campaign staff titled the treatise "Not Fit for Publication," a play on Corsi's earlier best-seller, "Unfit for Command," about John Kerry. "That the Obama campaign has...

Two news items that really ought to run together: August 13, Providence Journal: Ex-Sen. Chafee joins Republicans for Obama August 13, Gothamist: Actor Ed Asner, former Dallas Cowboy Mark Stepnoski, and formerly famous hip hop group Arrested Development are leading a petition drive to get a referendum on New York City’s November ballot that would establish a new 9/11 investigation. If the group, called 911 Truth, can collect 30,000 signatures before September 4th, the City Council will be required to consider the measure, which calls for an investigative panel with subpoena authority. Former Senator Mike Gravel (who would join the...

Last night on Hannity & Colmes, Colmes kept saying Jerome Corsi is a "truther" and can't be taken seriously. I've been scouring the internet looking for evidence Jerome Corsi, author of Obama Nation, is a 9/11 "Truther." All find is links to left-wing nutjob website where they don't usually use evidence to back up their claims, including DU (which is funny, because a lot of them think Bush had something to do with 9/11). Does anybody know anything or have quotes from Corsi? Has he addressed this anywhere?

The Barack Obama campaign is promulgating to their followers and others a PDF about Jerome Corsi's latest book "Obama Nation"; you can download it here: my.barackobama.com/page/invite/corsi Some of their debunking in parts of it may be accurate or not, etc. However, in one section they've "creatively edited" Corsi. From the section called "CONSIDER THE SOURCE: CORSI HOLDS WIDELY DISCREDITED BELIEFS": CORSI IS A 9/11 TRUTH BELIEVER—THAT AIRPLANES WERE NOT TRULY TO BLAME FOR DESTRUCTION OF WORLD TRADE TOWERS Corsi is a 9/11 Truther. In a radio interview, Corsi said, “I’m gonna come out with a story, I think is gonna...

U.S. troops serving in Iraq may be getting more letters during mail call, but they won't be care packages — one group is sending them letters and DVDs claiming 9/11 was an “inside job” and that they should rethink why they’re fighting. Mark Dice, founder of The Resistance, which he calls a media watchdog group, says that the U.S. government was responsible for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and that the armed forces should know it. “People want the facts. The Marines are hungry for the truth — what got them there [in Iraq], why are they risking their lives...

Looks like in their rush to delete the antisemitic post I wrote about earlier, the administrators at my.barackobama.com missed something

"We Were Lied To". This meme, which has been the mantra among supposed political "progressives" for years now, was reignited over the weekend with the publication of a memoir by former Bush press secretary Scott McLellan claiming that President Bush and his cronies wove a spell of lies to get a war in Iraq underway. This is the narrative that Americans tell themselves to prove that, if it weren't for bad leaders, we would be a morally upright nation. I don't think so. And, remember, I write the following as a registered Democrat (and an Obama voter in my primary...

Obama also accepts testimonial from 9/11 conspiracy theorist who equated 9/11 to the Reichstag Fire Please view Priest Michael Pfleger Campaigns for Obama at Trinity United at YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGgRaApkcP8). Pay attention not only to what Michael Pfleger is saying, but also to the audience’s reaction to “There were a whole lot of white people crying.” (Two screen shots appear below.) They didn’t get up and walk out in disgust. They didn’t sit in embarrassed silence while pretending not to hear. They applauded wildly, and many stood up to give “There were a whole lot of white people crying” a standing...

U.S. Congressman Keith Ellison Muslim, Minnesota I am a proud Muslim American whose faith informs my actions. I believe in the spirit - and practice - of generosity and inclusiveness. I believe in an America where scarcity is a myth and poverty is not necessary. America need not have thirty seven million Americans living below the poverty line. It is a choice. Hunger is a choice. Exclusion of the stranger, the immigrant, or the darker other is a choice. Like Senator Obama, I believe that the problems of poverty and healthcare, racism and education, childcare and human rights are not...
