> Polls demonstrate that 84% of the American public rejects the  
> official account of what happened on September 11th 2001. Polls in  
> Europe, Canada and the Islamic world have yielded similar results.  
> Numerous prominent officials from around the world have gone on  
> record expressing profound disbelief of the official narrative.  
> Rapidly growing numbers are convinced that members of the Bush  
> administration were not only grossly negligent in the days and  
> months leading up to 9/11 but active participants in the attacks  
> themselves.
>
> We are in the midst of a mass awakening.
>
> Like the Warren Commission before it, the Zelikow commission –  
> appointed to investigate the pivotal event that “changed  
> everything” – has proved a whitewash, a cover-up of a mass murder  
> that reeks of official complicity. Millions of citizens have joined  
> the family members of the victims in calling for a new  
> investigation. Dying first responders - cynically exploited in the  
> aftermath of the attacks and now cast aside as political  
> liabilities - have pleaded for justice. Their pleas have fallen on  
> deaf ears.
>
> 9/11 is the foundational myth upon which the entire neocon agenda  
> is predicated. Every civil liberty curtailed, every passage hacked  
> from the Bill of Rights, every torture camp built by Halliburton,  
> every child murdered in Iraq – all of these have but one  
> justification: 9/11.
>
> Yet leaders of the peace movement have avoided the truth about  
> 9/11, forfeiting the one issue capable of putting a stop to this  
> madness.
>
> And Democratic leaders, for their part, have not only assisted with  
> the cover-up but embraced the War on Terror myth with vigor,  
> threatening to outflank the neocons from the far right.
>
> Our leaders have promised us a hundred year war.
>
> We are promising them that they will not succeed.
>
> In the absence of sane leadership, we intend to do what people have  
> always done to effect positive change: we will mobilize in massive  
> numbers.
>
> On the Eleventh Day of Every Month, we call on activists everywhere  
> to take to the streets in the name of truth.
>
> In every town and every city - and by any nonviolent means  
> necessary - we will reach out together to our fellow citizens and  
> spread the word.
>
> Observing the monthly anniversary of 9/11 with a united day of  
> truth action will provide a regularly occurring focus for the  
> movement, as well as an ongoing reminder to all media, elected  
> representatives and people all over the world that the truth will  
> out and we’re not going away. The 11th will be an ongoing symbol of  
> our presence, our persistence and our growing numbers. As this  
> campaign progresses our growing numbers will encourage more and  
> more people to take action for truth every day until we reach  
> critical mass.
>
> As each month passes and this idea spreads - across the internet,  
> through cafes and town halls and into the collective consciousness  
> of the American public - the 11th will become a rite of passage.  
> The movement will grow exponentially until it can no longer be  
> contained. All that is required is participation by a small number  
> of people already awake and willing to stand up and speak out for  
> truth and justice. The laws of gravity - so absent from the NIST  
> report - will take care of the rest.
>
> Until now, the truth movement has limited itself to a strike-and- 
> retreat approach. Although successful in waking up large numbers of  
> people – no mean feat, considering the corporate media blackout –  
> this strategy has not tapped into the movement’s revolutionary  
> potential. As Clausewitz wrote of war, “The side that takes the  
> initiative defines the terms of the struggle. As long as it keeps  
> innovating, it also retains the element of surprise. Boldness is  
> virtually a creative power… Whenever boldness meets hesitation it  
> already has a significant advantage because the very state of  
> hesitation implies a loss of equilibrium.”
>
> We will stop playing according to their rules. Idleness is defeat.  
> A thirty second haranguing on the O’Reilly Factor is not enough.  
> Our success depends on massive, sustained growth backed by concrete  
> action. Lacking coordination, meeting points and a nationwide plan  
> of action, many have settled for solitary vigils, scattered  
> protests, provocative T-shirts and tables at peace marches. All  
> heroic in themselves, but we must do more – together - on a  
> regular, ongoing basis. What is missing from the truth movement is  
> not so much a widespread awareness of the cover-up but a real plan  
> of action that people all over the country can get involved in.
>
> Ongoing national days of truth action will fill this void.
>
> In the beginning, our numbers will be small. But we remember the  
> case of February 1, 1960 when four freshman at A & T College in  
> Greensboro, North Carolina, sat down at a segregated lunch counter  
> at a popular restaurant. As Howard Zinn writes, “In a matter of  
> days, the idea leaped to other cities in North Carolina. During the  
> next two weeks, sit-ins spread to fifteen cities in five Southern  
> states. Within the following year, over 50,000 people in a hundred  
> cities…”
>
> So began the Civil Rights Movement. It did not begin with Martin  
> Luther King. A great man did not appear from on high and lead the  
> masses to victory. It began with regular people getting off the  
> couch, getting together and standing up for truth and justice.
>
> Our actions will be diverse, creative, colorful and groundbreaking.  
> We will document our actions to inspire and encourage others to  
> join us. Civil disobedience is encouraged but violent actions will  
> not be tolerated. Should such actions occur, we will assume the  
> culprits to be provacateurs, participating in the time-honored  
> tactic of breaking up positive forces that threaten elite power.
>
> This website and forum can serve as a focal point for activists to  
> come together and discuss their strategies. There will be no  
> centralized, hierarchical base but rather a horizontal nexus where  
> activists can devise their own tactics for their own communities  
> and coordinate these activities nationwide. The key is a unified  
> and ongoing effort.
>
> There is no greater joy in life than coming together with people of  
> conscience and standing up for what’s right. As Ken Knabb wrote of  
> such situations, “… people become much more open to new  
> perspectives, readier to question previous assumptions, quicker to  
> see through the usual cons. Every day some people go through  
> experiences that lead them to question the meaning of their lives;  
> but during a radical situation practically everyone does so all at  
> once. When the machine grinds to a halt, the cogs themselves begin  
> wondering about their function.”
>
> We will not stop until the September 11th criminals are exposed and  
> brought to justice. Until then, the eleventh day of every month  
> will be observed in honor of all those who were murdered on that  
> day and the many who have lost their lives in the name of that day  
> since.
>
> Our grandchildren will not be designated as cannon fodder before  
> they are even born.
>
> We will not submit to a techno-fascist police state built on a big  
> lie.
>
> Slavery is not an option.
>
> The truth will out.
>
> GET INVOLVED – GET IN THE STREETS – GET VISIBLE
>
> The Eleventh Day of Every Month

> Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens
> can change the world. Indeed it's the only thing that ever has. -
