We as spiritual beings or souls come to earth in order to experience the human condition. This includes the good and the bad scenarios of this world. Our world is a duality planet and no amount of love or grace will eliminate evil or nastiness. We will return again and again until we have pierced the illusions of this density. The purpose of human life is to awaken to universal truth. This also means that we must awaken to the lies and deceit mankind is subjected to. To pierce the third density illusion is a must in order to remove ourselves from the wheel of human existences. Love is important but knowledge is the key!

Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-Ga.)

The need for an investigation of the events surrounding September 11 is as 
obvious as is the need for an investigation of the Enron debacle. Certainly, 
if the American people deserve answers about what went wrong with Enron and 
why (and we do), then we deserve to know what went wrong on September 11 and 
why.

Are we squandering our goodwill around the world with what many believe to 
be incoherent, warmongering policies that alienate our friends and 
antagonize our allies? How much of a role does our reliance on imported oil 
play in the military policies being put forward by the Bush Administration? 
And what role does the close relationship between the Bush Administration 
and the oil and defense industries play, if any, in the policies that are 
currently being pursued by this Administration?

We deserve to know what went wrong on September 11 and why. After all, we 
hold thorough public inquiries into rail disasters, plane crashes, and even 
natural disasters in order to understand what happened and to prevent them 
from happening again or minimizing the tragic effects when they do. Why then 
does the Administration remain steadfast in its opposition to an 
investigation into the biggest terrorism attack upon our nation? 

News reports from Der Spiegel to the London Observer, from the Los Angeles 
Times to MSNBC to CNN, indicate that many different warnings were received 
by the Administration. In addition, it has even been reported that the 
United States government broke bin Laden's secure communications before 
September 11. Sadly, the United States government is being sued today by 
survivors of the Embassy bombings because, from court reports, it appears 
clear that the US had received prior warnings, but did little to secure and 
protect the staff at our embassies. 


Did the same thing happen to us again? 

I am not aware of any evidence showing that President Bush or members of his 
administration have personally profited from the attacks of 9- 11. A 
complete investigation might reveal that to be the case. For example, it is 
known that President Bush's father, through the Carlyle Group had - at the 
time of the attacks - joint business interests with the bin Laden 
construction company and many defense industry holdings, the stocks of 
which, have soared since September 11. 

On the other hand, what is undeniable is that corporations close to the 
Administration, have directly benefited from the increased defense spending 
arising from the aftermath of September 11. The Carlyle Group, DynCorp, and 
Halliburton certainly stand out as companies close to this Administration. 
Secretary Rumsfeld maintained in a hearing before Congress that we can 
afford the new spending, even though the request for more defense spending 
is the highest increase in twenty years and the Pentagon has lost $2.3 
trillion. 

All the American people are being asked to make sacrifices. Our young men 
and women in the military are being asked to risk their lives in our War 
Against Terrorism while our President's first act was to sign an executive 
order denying them high deployment overtime pay. The American people are 
being asked to make sacrifices by bearing massive budget cuts in the social 
welfare of our country, in the areas of health care, social security, and 
civil liberties for our enhanced military and security needs arising from 
the events of September 11; it is imperative that they know fully why we 
make the sacrifices. 

If the Secretary of Defense tells us that his new military objectives must 
be to occupy foreign capital cities and overthrow regimes, then the American 
people must know why. It should be easy for this Administration to explain 
fully to the American people in a thorough and methodical way why we are 
being asked to make these sacrifices and if, indeed, these sacrifices will 
make us more secure. If the Administration cannot articulate these answers 
to the American people, then the Congress must. 

This is not a time for closed-door meetings and this is not a time for se 
crecy. America's credibility, both with the world and with her own people, 
rests upon securing credible answers to these questions. The world is 
teetering on the brink of conflicts while the Administration's policies are 
vague, wavering and unclear. Major financial conflicts of interest involving 
the President, the Attorney General, the Vice President and others in the 
Administration have been and continue to be exposed.

This is a time for leadership and judgment that is not compromised in any 
fashion. This is a time for transparency and a thorough investigation.

Thanks to Kenn Thomas (kennthomas@umsl.edu) for the following.

 
Friends,
I am forwarding this call for support to Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney who 
has been a courageous and almost lone voice of dissent (Reps. Kucinich (OH) 
and Lee (CA) being among the exceptions) against the dangerous and 
destabilizing course taken by President Bush in the wake of September 11. 
McKinney has had the audacity to raise questions that any thoughtful 
American would ask about the level of prior knowledge that Bush, the 
Pentagon and the intelligence agencies had regarding the 9-11 attack and who 
will benefit financially from the response to these events, including those 
close to Bush. She called for a full investigation into 9-11, and we should 
back her in this. 

She has been vilified in the mainstream and liberal press alike since her 
initial statements, calling her a "loony" and a "crazy leftist", along with 
"conspiracy theorist" of course. They are hoping to drive a wedge between 
McKinney and the Congressional Black Caucus. It is critical right now to 
write the Black Caucus in support of the Congresswoman and her request for 
full and open hearings. This missive also suggests making a financial 
donation to her upcoming re- election campaign.

Whatever support you can give her at this time is appreciated. 
McKinney helped to arrange for a panel discussion on the assassination of 
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and COINTELPRO at the last Congressional Black 
Caucus Annual Legislative Conference, which had to be cancelled. The panel 
was meant to build support for new legislation, based on the JFK Records 
Act, to release the files about the King assassination and COINTELPRO. It 
was cancelled because of 9- 11 events. Since then, Attorney General Ashcroft 
has worked to undermine the Freedom of Information Act and suggested 
renewing COINTELPRO operations by the FBI on civic and religious 
organizations. This makes it even more important to renew our push to free 
these files. McKinney will help us do that.

Please give her your support.

From Bill Douglas:

We have a hero in the demand for inquiry into 9-11 !! A Congresswoman from 
Georgia has begun DEMANDING that the Bush/Bin Laden connection and the 
bizarre fabrications making up the official story around the 9-11, WTC 
attacks, be FULLY INVESTIGATED.

She has suffered much hate mail from this, and SHE NEEDS OUR SUPPORT!!

As you all know the vast resources of the Activist Kit have been provided 
freely. I have personally donated months of hard labor on making this 
information available to you all, and have expected no return for my 
efforts, just as you are all volunteering your efforts.

However, now I urge you to follow my lead. I AM DONATING $150 DOLLARS (US) 
TO Rep. McKinney TODAY! I ask that everyone who has helped distribute the 
Activist Kits NO MATTER WHAT COUNTRY, to send a donation to Rep. McKinney.

If each of you donated $20 (US) she would have over a $600,000.00 (US) 
donation. However, I am urging all of you to also network this request out 
to all of your networks, and to post this appeal on all the progressive and 
activist list serves, discussion groups, indymedia.org, etc. etc. as well.

IMAGINE the media attention we can bring to the 9-11 inquiry issue if Rep. 
McKinney suddenly got a few MILLION in donations because of our gratitude 
for her courage on DEMANDING INQUIRY into 9-11. Imagine the courage it would 
give other congresspersons to follow her lead. (if you all donated $20 and 
sent this appeal out to 20 people, and half of them sent $20, she would 
recieve a donation of $12 million US dollars.)

God bless all of you for your work. The New York Times reported this week 
the Senate committee voted unanimously to dramatically widen the 9-11 
inquiries. This doesn't mean it's a done deal, it could still be glossed 
over. HOWEVER, with committed people of conscience like Rep. McKinney 
pushing and pushing behind the committees, WE COULD HAVE A REAL INQUIRY THAT 
COULD CHANGE THE ENTIRE WORLD FOR THE BETTER.

This is a miracle. Thank you all in advance for opening your hearts to this 
miracle and working tirelessly to spread this appeal to as many as you can 
"after" you mail off your own donation.

Here's a courageous person in government who deserves our support for 
standing up and speaking out: PLEASE SEND DONATIONS AND CARDS OF THANKS TO:
U.S. Representative Cynthia McKinney
