-------------------------------------------------------- From: "Westaway" <•••@••.•••> To: "Westaway" <•••@••.•••> Subject: The Emergency Truth Convergence Conference Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2005 10:58:52 -0700 X-Priority: 3 http://www.truthemergency.us/ Come Build a Breakthrough Movement to Expose, Decry, and Neutralize the Seamless Lies behind 9/11, Resource Wars, Troop Betrayal and Constitutional Jeopardy "Justice is truth in action." - Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881) WHAT A historic convergence of truth groups, activists, whistle-blowers, indie media and the foreign press to expose and counter the government's most lethal lies and mainstream media complicity. The event series highlights two current icons of official deceit: the first birthday of the 9/11 Commission Report on July 22nd and the third anniversary of the Downing Street Memo on July 23rd. Our events will include a unique National Press Club briefing, a name-packed Lafayette Park "Defeat Lethal Deceit" rally, a dance/concert, and a strategy summit among truth movement leaders, veteran & victim family groups, grassroots activists and the indie media community. WHY 1) Too many thousands have died and are dying from media abetment of administration deceit. 2) Too much evidence exists refuting the "official stories" on critical turns in recent history. 3) Too many instances of unchallenged treachery tempt corrupt officials and lead to worse crimes. 4) Too much power is now arising in independent media to excuse or endure this blackout anymore. 5) Activists working on 9/11, war, repression or media reform could all be far more effective if we collectively outed and disabled the government's most powerful lies. HOW By awakening independent & foreign journalists (and overwhelming mainstream gatekeepers) with a perfect storm of DC truth events aimed at Congress, the courts, and the public abroad (including new 911/war lie hearings, creative new law suits, and dramatic new global appeals). Main Points: 1) To develop a cross-movement strategy to show the public and the world that the tens of thousands of lives we have lost - . lost to 9/11 savagery and its toxic aftermath, . lost to shock & awe, collateral damage and depleted uranium, . lost to torture, gulag brutality, and blowback yet to come - ALL are victims of the SAME imperial vision and the SAME deceit-driven plans (ditto our national solvency, the rule of law, and the Bill of Rights) 2) To remind ourselves that leaders selling war, repression and corporate rule could fool a lot less people a lot less of the time if indie media flooded the streets and airwaves with badly needed truths. Today's bloody liars are red. Tomorrow's may be blue. Only with grassroots enlightenment and collaboration can we discredit their propaganda and reverse their brutal coup. Why July? Two improbably dark anniversaries fall back to back on July 22nd and 23rd this year, and aptly wed the two top poster children of war deceit: the Downing Street Memo and the Kean/Zelikow 9/11 Commission Report. * Friday, July 22nd is the first anniversary of the nakedly fraudulent 9/11 Commission Report - the "full and final accounting" that ducked 80% of the families' questions, hid glaring evidence of official complicity, and pointedly failed to ask how leaders lusting for Iraq conquest since September 2000 could have ever hoped to succeed without a 9/11-scale attack to ignite national fear, calls for revenge and blind support for war. * Saturday, July 23rd, is the third birthday of the Downing Street memo which documents that many months before congressional submission, the UN charade, or the "Big Mushroom Cloud" mantra began, Iraq "facts and intelligence" were already being reupholstered for a fast drive into war. (According to Richard Clarke, of course, Iraq was targeted by Rumsfeld on Sept. 11 itself, while Paul O'Neill recounts that Bush demanded an Iraq war pretext at his first cabinet huddle in Jan. 2001.) This sudden coincidence of infamous anniversaries is just too timely to ignore. It offers too many opportunities to expose the largest lies at work, enforce justice, and halt perpetual war. Schedule in Brief Friday: After the morning session of Rep. McKinney's "Did They Get It Right?" 9//11 briefing on Capitol Hill, we will be holding the first ever National Press Club briefing especially designed for the independent media. It will feature prominent victim family reactions to the Kean Commission's performance, Dr. David Ray Griffin's deconstruction of the Report, and "Weapons of Mass Deception" producer Danny Schechter's dissection of media censorship. The briefing will be fittingly led by Project Censored founder, Peter Phillips. Friday evening there will be films and a reception at American University. Saturday: From 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM we will hold a major rally presenting top truth and anti-war advocates, publicizing kindred cover-ups, and forging a common front across from the White House in Lafayette Park. Besides eminent cross-movement figures like Peter Phillips, Ray McGovern, Gael Murphy, Robert Bowman and many other Big Picture experts, the stage will feature some of the bravest family members and some very dramatic guests. Saturday Eve: Feast, mix and dance your heart out to rebel truth bands at the American University "Tavern", and spend all day Sunday at the school in strategy conversations with leading players in the veteran and antiwar movements, the independent media, major allied truth groups, and the foreign press. (For those who do not choose to dance, we have lots of cheap beds at American University that evening as well as a big hall and breakout rooms for the Sunday strategy summit.) We Need Your Aid, Energy and Experience to organize, publicize and succeed with these events.
