McCain, Unfit To Lead
Given John McCain's history over the last 20 years (S&L rip off of old people, refusal to deal with what really happened on 9/11, pro war, voted with Bush II 95% of the time) he is truly unfit to lead.
Vote Obama-Biden '08. Wise leadership for this, the Information Age.
The boxes I fit into are Christian, Black, female, over 54, computerized, independent, hippie American.
I've been accused of supporting BarackObama for president because of his race. We've already had at least 5 Black presidents, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Harding and Coolidge, according to Dr. Leroy Vaughn, MD, MBA and historian, in his book BLACK PEOPLE AND THEIR PLACE IN WORLD HISTORY.
I assure you that race is not a deciding factor in who I am supporting for the position of President of the United States. I have a history of voting for White men in past presidential elections. Race was not a factor then, and it's not a factor now.
The position of president, especially in this, the final step in the transformation from the Industrial Age to the Information Age, cleaning this mess up, is a job way too important to judge based on race.
I am voting for Obama because of:
Obama's sponsorship of industrial hemp and statement that he will not jail sick people for using hemp.
Obama is computer literate.
Obama was not a spokesman for the Iraq war.
Obama is pro choice and not in favor of sending women back to coat hangers.
Obama is not a long time member in good standing of the industrial/military/congressional complex, responsible for 9/11 as an inside job. At the time Obama was not part of the federal government.
McCain would not even talk with a hunger striker Blair Gadsby outside his Phoenix office about the events of 9/11.
When I called McCain's office about World Trade Center Illness shortly after 9/11, I was told Sen. Clinton was handling it. That was a lie for years.
911 Truth Hunger Striker - Topic for Town Hall Meeting
Senator John McCain and Senator Barack Obama should discuss what really happened on 9/11 in their town hall meetings over the summer. Blair Gadsby, in the webeo above and Arizona State Senator Karen Johnson, in the webeo below, should ask the opening questions.
Senator McCain has been a big backer of the 19 lucky Arabs story. The majority of the American people know that 9/11 was an inside job.
It is best to strike when the iron is hot. Phoenix activist Blair Gadsby, a professor of Religious Studies, is in the 10th day of his hunger strike regarding 9/11 truth. He's striking outside of Senator McCain's office in Phoenix.
Here's the link announcing his hunger strike which began Memorial Day weekend. Excerpts only are posted in this article.
Phoenix, AZ, May 21, 2008 - In an effort to bring national attention to the 9/11 truth issue, Phoenix activist, Blair Gadsby, a professor of Religious Studies, plans to start a hunger strike on Memorial Day, at the Phoenix office of Senator John McCain. Gadsby is putting the spotlight on McCain because of McCain's avowed support for the official account of 9/11. McCain is the author of the foreword to the 2006 Popular Mechanics book, Debunking 9/11 Myths: Why Conspiracy Theories Can't Stand Up to the Facts."

An Arizona state senator is petitioning presumptive GOP presidential nominee John McCain to meet with 9/11 conspiracy theorists, including an adjunct professor from Scottsdale who has been fasting outside McCain's Phoenix office for more than a week.
State Sen. Karen Johnson, a Mesa Republican, delivered a letter to McCain's Senate office Tuesday asking that he sit down with Scottsdale activist Blair Gadsby and a pair of leading members of the 9/11 Truth Movement to consider alternative explanations for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. Gadsby's fast outside McCain's Senate office entered its 10th day today."
State Senator Johnson (I hope she runs for McCain's seat) has posted her findings
A recent letter to the editor asked for evidence of my claims regarding the tragedy of 9/11. Below I present some points that are presently known. I won’t be able to convince anyone who doesn’t want to be convinced, but for those who are willing to deal with factual evidence, consider the following:
• 37 different people reported explosions in the basement of the World Trade Center Towers before the first plane hit, and seismic equipment recorded both the explosions and the impacts. In addition, people were injured by the explosions in the basement, providing well-documented evidence. Yet this evidence is ignored.
•The media and government have promoted the “pancake theory” as the cause of the collapse of the Twin Towers — that is, fire weakened the steel support beams, causing the upper floors to collapse. Then the weight of the collapsing floors above caused the floors below to collapse. This theory is not consistent with scientific principles or the facts. Frank Legge, who has a doctorate in chemistry, and Tony Szamboti, a mechanical engineer, reported in December in the Journal of 9/11 Studies: “It appears therefore that the official concept of a free-fall collapse of the upper portion through the initiation story, due to heat effects from fire, is a fantasy. If the temperature did become high enough for collapse to occur” — and everyone agrees that it did not — “it could not have happened in the observed manner. In particular it could not have been sudden and thus could not have produced the velocity, and hence the momentum and kinetic energy, upon which the official story depends for the second stage of collapse.”
• The theory that the buildings collapsed due to controlled-demolition explosives, however, is consistent with scientific principles and the facts. The “demolition” theory, in fact, is the only one which scientists have been able to corroborate. That is, “… all observations are in accord with the use of explosives in a time sequence.” (Legge and Szamboti, December, Journal of 9/11 Studies.)
• Peer-reviewed reports indicate that the masses of dust particles created by the disaster contained tiny pieces of metal that had been exposed to both extreme temperatures (higher than could have been produced by a burning office or burning airplane fuel) and extreme pressure (such as an explosion) that would fragment material into minute particles. Official reports ignore this.
• In December, physicist Steven Jones announced the discovery of thermite chips in World Trade Center dust samples. The chemical composition of these chips are an exact match to known thermite samples used in controlled demolitions — further corroboration that explosive devices were involved.
• Steel support beams recovered from the site of the World Trade Center exhibit cut edges that are characteristic of thermite used to slice steel support beams in building demolitions but are not characteristic of steel beams that have been burned in a fire.
When the 9/11 Commission Report was finally released, it was woefully inadequate. It never even addressed the collapse of Building 7, for example. Former FBI Director Louis Freeh has stated that there are inaccuracies in the report and unanswered questions. Even the two chairmen of the 9/11 Commission — Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton — have accused the CIA of “obstructing” the commission, and one commissioner, U.S. Sen. Max Cleland, resigned, stating that the commission was “compromised.”
Private individuals with specialized knowledge — scientists, engineers, architects, demolitions experts, and the firefighters and police officers who were on the scene on Sept. 11, 2001, have tested theories, constructed models, provided testimony, and dug for the truth about what really happened on 9/11. They have been ignored by media and the government.
The mainstream media parrot the less-than-credible conclusions of the 9/11 Commission without giving any thought to the many omissions and inconsistencies. In a truly free country, the press would ask hard questions and do real investigating, but this is not happening. Only the alternative media, such as Internet news sites, have done any solid investigating.
The events of 9/11 led immediately to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and passage of the Patriot Act (what double-speak), both of which deprive us of Constitutional rights and have brought us to the brink of becoming a police state. Homeland Security is currently trying to force a national ID card down our throats, although some governors have politely (or not so politely) told Secretary Michael Chertoff where he can go.
If we’re going to sacrifice our freedom, there ought to be a very good reason, and we have a right to know what that is. It isn’t enough for government to say, “Trust me.” It’s way past time for Congress to authorize an independent investigation of 9/11 that will consider the mass of new evidence that has been gathered in the past seven years. The longer they stall, the more suspicions grow.
Sen. Karen S. Johnson, R-Mesa, represents District 18."
The nation is ready to discuss 9/11 as an inside job.
Senator Obama is talking about the failings of the Bush Administration.
Keith Olberman makes up for the journalists who are silent in the face of all the information that 9/11 was an inside job.
He tells the real report about what Senator Hillary Clinton means when she referenced assination possibility as a rationale for her staying in the Presidential race. She disqualified herself by showing who she really is.
Keith Olberman, bless you and yours eternally for the work you are doing on behalf of truth. '
