Wow! VillageVoice story on DUer paulthompson's 9/11 timeline!

[nostamj]

WASHINGTON, D.C.—From his outpost on New Zealand's South Island, overlooking the stormy Tasman Sea, Paul Thompson, a young American, might seem like the most unlikely of detectives trying to sort through the historical debris of another hemisphere.

But this former California environmental activist is one of a handful of freelance, unpaid, amateur sleuths who have become a 9-11 Information Central—what amounts to an intelligence apparatus aimed at pinning down what the Bush administration knew and didn't know about 9-11, before and after the attacks. The results of this sleuthing often find their way to the 9-11 families, and in particular, to the by now mythic Jersey Girls, as the leaders of the survivors' families have come to be called.

The researchers are in many ways similar to the team Scott Armstrong, the former Washington Post reporter, recruited in the mid 1980s to uncover the roots of Reagan's secret Iran-Contra deals. The National Security Archive, making extensive use of the the Freedom of Information Act, soon established itself as the lead independent investigatory body, and today stands as a major independent research operation in the nation's capital.

At the hub of the 9-11 research is Thompson's intricate timeline on the website of the Center for Cooperative Research (cooperativeresearch.org). As of April 19, the crisply written timeline consists of 1,382 items, beginning with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 and running up to the present. In addition to the basic, annotated chronology, there are offshoot timelines for each of the four flights that day, along with a minute-by-minute recounting of President Bush's activities on 9-11. Still other timelines delve into official "lies" from 1979 forward.

3. ground to air missiles

i want to explore out loud with the world if bush had those ground to air missles installed on the roof of his hotel 9/10

dont we all think this is pretty significant if he had an idea of what was going on. further, then we can bring in jebs action prior to 9/11 with national guard and a few other things that happened in florida at that time

5. A kick to Nosty for kicking

this eminently kickable thread.

If you are a newbie or a lurker and have not read Paul Thompson's 9/11 Timeline, then do yourself and America a Big Favor: follow the links to the Timeline, and invest a couple of hours in it.

You are about to enter the Fact Zone in the "Myterious Case of 9/11."

Your freedom, and the freedom of the US of A, depends on an informed citizenry.

7. Kudos to Paul and to James Ridgeway. If anyone takes the time to

read and digest the timeline and still believes the official lie of 9-11, they will never take their blinders off.
9-11 was, at least partially, an inside job folks, we have been royally 'had'.

8. get back up there....

9. "Little Boy Lost"

After reading this excellent account of where was Bush and what he WAS NOT doing, I find it a must read for every citizen. There is absolutely no way that this can be read and it not be clearly understood that Bush lied big time and so did the rest of the thugs.

Why did they lie is what I want to know...
#1 - Were the neocons running the show in DC and did they want to make sure that "Little Boy Lost" stayed out of town?

#2 - Did " Little Boy Lost" stay out of harms way on purpose? Did he have a complete melt down?

EVERYTHING points to the fact that there was NO leadership displayed by Bush at any time.

This should be a documentary on all the channels. This is far more important than American Idol or all the other trash that means nothing to the future of our country.

10. the simple fact

that he continued with the photo op with full knowledge that a HIJACKED COMMERCIAL JET had crashed into the WTC

AND

that there were additional HIJACKED AIRCRAFT in the air

should utterly condemn him.

there's no doubt they KNEW it was a terrorist attack, BEFORE any planes impacted. the multiple hijackings was what there were on ALERT for...

[Minstrel Boy]

11. In fact, he continued the photo op knowing that

two commercial jets had crashed into the WTC.

Incredible world, this.
