AE911Truth covered by local media

Fresno/Clovis gets a load of AE911Truth
from http://ae911truth.org

Our first stop on the Southern California Truth Tour at the beautiful Clovis Veterans Memorial Building was quite successful. Before our multimedia presentation on the destruction of the three WTC high-rises on 9/11 we asked for a show of hands of the 101 people in attendance. Eighteen believed in the official story of fire induced collapses at the Twin Towers before the presentation and twenty-seven were unsure. The remainder believed in Explosive Controlled Demolition. After the presentation zero believed the official story and only two were unsure!

This is one of the ways we measure success at AE911Truth. We also encourage our attendees to do follow up research and local activism. We tripled the size of the local hardworking dedicated 9/11 Fresno Truth group led by Dennis, Trevor, Jordan, Steve, Manuel, and others here in Fresno!

But the best is that we got some TV coverage by local Fox affiliate KMPH! We were on two separate shows. For the 10pm News they filmed part of the presentation and an interview – but failed to show any of the evidence that we presented with each (see below). And they brought in their local firefighter hero to cast aspersions upon us. And for the morning show "Great Day" they did an in-studio live interview of us which lasted seven minutes – where I was able to get a lot of evidence out there – including Building 7 on video!

Also, 9-11 family members ask unanswered questions about September 11th, part of an appeal by the New York Coalition for Accountability Now (NYCCAN) for a new, independent 9-11 commission. For more information go to http://www.NYCCAN.org.

Protest against John Yoo: Boalt Hall Graduation 2009

From Indybay.org:

World Can't Wait: Protest against the author of the torture memos: John Yoo, UC Berkeley Boalt Hall Law Professor

Graduates were greeted by people calling on them to wear orange ribbons and demand the firing and prosecution of war criminal John Yoo. Dozens of demonstrators mingled with graduates and their families along a mile stretch of Piedmont Avenue in Berkeley on Saturday morning. The protest against called on graduates, in the historic position as graduates of Boalt Hall (and now alumni) to demand that the UC law school not tolerate torture and those who are apologists for torture policies.









"Disdain for the recognition of basic human rights" (torture) is but one aspect of fascist societies as studied by Dr. Lawrence Britt, made possible by the catalyzing events of 9/11.

Guantanamero Torture VS. Berkeley Law School's Dean Edley

Berkeley Law Dean Christopher Edley claims Torture Professor John Yoo can not be fired unless he is convicted of a crime.

The Faculty Code of Conduct states "Faculty may be subjected to disciplinary action under the code for any type of conduct which, although not specifically enumerated herein, meets the standard for unacceptable faculty behavior...

WHY IS DEAN EDLEY LYING?

The Nuremberg Tribunal ruled those creating legal justifications to torture and murder people were guilty of planning and initiating war crimes and crimes against humanity. John Yoo committed that very act by writing memos sanctioning torture. Dean Edley's false claim that this involves academic freedom shields Yoo from university discipline by cloaking Yoo's barbaric crimes with respectability. Sanctioning torture is not academic freedom, it is a criminal act. Dean Edley's actions amount to aiding and abetting Yoo's efforts to avoid prosecution.

May 9th and 11th Actions

This month, two actions were held on May 9th and 11th. There's nothing better than holding as many actions as possible; usually we try to hold one once a week for increased visibility and community building. Various times, familiar faces will stop by and thank us for previously passing on a flier/DVD to them.


Two courageous, dedicated new activists were able to make it out to BOTH actions, having never been to a single one in the past. We are grateful for their presence and thus, hope to build a stronger local movement.
We were able to pass out about 100 DVDs and 600 fliers to the public throughout the weekend. The group made an effort to dig up old signs to make up for not having as many people out as usual.

"We have FREE DVDs if you're really interested in this topic."

The truth should always be free, especially in these economically stressful times.



Reception was mostly positive; there was one particular man who kept screaming insults at us and shaking his head. I tired to approach him, but he just cut me off, furious and red-faced. I then informed him that his reaction was emotionally-based, rather than on logic, asking him to take some information and check it out first for "condemnation without investigation is the height of ignorance. He then turned around and screamed "FUCK LOGIC!" and stormed off.

Guess you can't reach everyone.



Overall, two successful actions.
