Top Patriots Question the Official Story of 9/11

Threat advisory: Elevated - Significant Risk of Truth

The following document contains the names of hundreds of people who question the official government version of what happened on September 11th, 2001 and therefore may be labeled as "terrorists" or have connections to al-Qaeda as determined by The Bush Administration.

Please note that some of the people listed believe that our government helped orchestrate 9/11, while others believe we were not told the truth by our government on specific events. Furthermore, most believe a new investigation is warranted.

WE THE PEOPLE know what happened on 9/11. We saw the images of the planes
crashing into the towers over and over and over again. Those images do not need further explanation or investigation as we know our media to be an honest and truthful media. They would not under any circumstance hide anything from the American people. And as we know them to be honest and forthright journalists
we must also know that what they show us is the truth…nothing else.

More importantly, as you read over the list of names keep in mind how incredibly
undereducated those who question the truth really must be. Their life experiences are nominal as compared to the average American citizen. They have absolutely no right or credibility to speak when it comes to 9/11 issues or how our government reacted to this terrible tragedy.

There is no room in our society for their voices or their opinions.
Our President told us what happened on 9/11 and we must believe him.
He is honest and decent and would not lie to the world about such a tragedy.

President Bush believed it was so important to address 9/11 conspiracies that he
even mentioned it at the United Nations General Assembly and stated the following:
“Let us not tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the
attacks of September the 11th. Malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame
away from the terrorists themselves. Away from the guilty”.
Please repeat this statement to yourself over and over and over again as you
re-play the images of the three towers collapsing at free fall speed into their own footprint. It is "un-American" to question 9/11 or to question our honest, and always truthful President.

It is a good thing our media has not allowed these uneducated nutcases to speak publicly. They should remain hidden and shunned by the press.
Otherwise we might not have time to educate ourselves on the personal lives of famous people with great integrity such as Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan.

Please pass this document to as many people as possible
so we can expose the kooks and illiterates that make up the conspiracy community.
