Protesters march in Civic Center Park this afternoon, contending the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were a U.S. government conspiracy.
CIVIC CENTER – Chanting “9/11 was an inside job!” protesters congregated here before hitting the parade route this afternoon, cameras in hand to document everything that happened and supply their live feed to those watching online.
Organized by We Are Change, the march brought calls of “9/11 truth now!” and signs calling for an investigation of the Sept. 11 attacks.
We Are Change has been filming protests this week in an effort to catch illegal action – whether by protesters or cops.
Luke Rudkowski, founder of We Are Change in New York, told the crowd it can’t rely on the mainstream media.
“We are the new media. We are the people. We are the change!” he shouted.
Besides protesters carrying banners and signs, there was a bus in support of Buddy Moore for U.S. Senate for Colorado and a trailer with a chain-link “cage” on it. Labeled “God’s Gitmo,” it had protesters wearing rubber masks of George W. Bush, John McCain, Barack Obama and others inside.
People stopped to watch the group proceed by.
“Rabble-rousers rousing a whole lot of rabble is what it is,” said James Baum of Ohio as he sat on his bike and waited for the march to pass. “People can find anything to protest.”
As Ellen Gilman of Denver passed, she pointed at the group and told her friend, “That’s democracy in action.”
When asked what she thought of the protest, Gilman said, “They won’t be happy until somebody agrees with them.”
Arlette Lucero of Denver said she was marching to raise awareness and get people asking questions about what happened on Sept. 11, 2001.
“A lot of people are not willing to listen,” she said.
Still, though Lucero felt it was important to participate in the march, she said it wasn’t the most important thing at the convention. Though she acknowledged that others in the march would disagree, she said Barack Obama’s nomination as the Democratic candidate was the most important thing.
“That needs to happen,” she said.

I wonder if they would be so kind as to let ther rest of us know just who the "actual" perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks really are.

Demanding an investigation means "they" don't have an answer.
What is so looney and nutty when one questions the gaping holes in the 911 mythology? The 911 fairy tale is like Scientology in that you cannot ask any questions. Like rigid religion, faith takes precedence to questions.

Wow, that's thinking outside of the box! What a novel idea.
These people are wasting their time. You would have to be mentally unstable to subscribe to their "cause".

I would ask why these people weren't at their jobs at 2pm on a Tuesday but if they believe the crap coming out of their mouths, it doesn't shock me that they aren't. You would have to be significantly dumber than these people to hire one of these loons at which point, i don't think you would be legally allowed to go out in public.

No Tan American,
Most claims of a factual nature are evidenced here. If you have some well documented links, I'd be more than happy to look at them. But I've seen no evidence it was an inside job. I looked at one web site and the claims jumped from from "inside job" to "UFO cover-up" in about three paragraphs.
Usually by the now one of the insiders dying of cancer has come forward to clear his conscience. That's not occurred. Also, we have no large group of insiders dying mysteriously.
And why do you make a point you're not tan? I've read there are a lot of racists in these pages.

Get a real life! There is not one credible scrap of evidence in what you say. You must be desperate for something to believe in.

Gordon,
Why would you care about the employment situation of these people? So what if they are not locked into your idea of a proper work schedule?

For the record, the American Government has made no case, presented no credible evidence, and laid no formal charges against Osama Bin Laden in connection with 9-11.
According to all methods of due process, the way things were always done up until the Bush Administration, this is still an unsolved case.
Why do so few people give a damn ?
A nation of sheep, indeed.

Not An American,
I apologize. I thought you'd invented a new form of racism, anti-those who tan. I really thought that.
I've never met a racist and I hope I never will. But of the millions of racists on this planet, they all seem to be posting on this one site. If I were to ever meet a racist, it would have to be someone who posts here.
Did I mention I never met an idiot and hope I never will...

At approximately 50:12 into NIST’s WTC 7 news briefing on August 21, 2008, in answer to a question about spherules of iron containing thermite in the WTC dust, Dr. Shyam Sunder said, “When we see evidence that in fact you have robust science behind alternative theories we will look at them.” What? If Sunder is so certain that the NIST report is correct about the cause of the demolition of WTC 7, why is he asking for more evidence? All the evidence was shipped to Asia and destroyed. If anyone brought forth evidence now, they’d be arrested for withholding evidence.

But of course it is easy to outwit the multi billion dollar most technologically advanced air force in the most protected airspace on earth for nearly 2 hours, it's easy! Anyone can do it!
Hey anyone could purchase a 991/2 year lease on the WTC for 122 mil. in June and collect 4.6 bill 3 months later, it happens all the time, just ask NY developer Larry Silverstein!
Yes 3 steel buildings falling in one day from oxygen starved fires certainly doesn't raise my suspicions, its 'COINCIDENCE'. You know buildings that were 40% occupied, needed 1bil in asbestos cleanup and undergoing galvanic corrosion, nothing to think about there.
It's just 'coincidence' FEMA was in town on Mon. for a major bioterror drill called TRIPODII.
Coincidence that 15 war games were ongoing taking the nations air force up to Alaska and Canada for mock Soviet interceptions.
And what about that investigation at the Pentagon on the missing 2.3 tril. that Rummy (CBS 02,DoD 01) couldn't account for? The evidence and accountants all up in smoke after he was grilled by congress on 9/10!!!
And of course we all know that passports (made of paper) can survive fireballs like flt 175s, you know Attas and Saqamis, its magic!
And of course we see Atta filmed in Maine, but his car is found in Boston the same day! You see Mr. Atta can transverse multiple dimensions! Anyone can DO IT!
Shall I go on about the hundreds of other 'coincidences' and outright financial criminal dealings that went up in smoke? No! It is time for the brainwashed American public to get off their high horse and start investigating these facts. It is a con and most of you people are falling for it. You are believing the lies of a criminal cabal that has overtaken the Gov.
I would think that most people would use their common sense to see what has transpired with Iraq and Afghanistan with its energy resources valued in the trillions.
Americans are like children, they refuse to learn anything even when the same garbage lies are shoveled into their faces day after day.

Why is it crazy to ask questions? State sponsered, false flag terror attacks have occurred regularly throughout history. Actually in recent interview, Seymour Hersh discloses info, from his own White House sources, on Cheney's plan for a false flag in the Strait of Hormuz. Cheney would have Navy Seals, disguised as Iranians, to attack US Navy vessels -- resulting in the Seals' deaths, and in the justification for an American attack on Iran.

There is actually overwhelming evidence that disproves the official story. I'm a math and physics guy by nature. For one, the simple fact that all three buildings fell into their own footprint at close to free fall speed should make you suspicious. Why? Because it's the first time in history that ANY steel framed building fell from fire, let alone 3 besides at free fall speed. It is extremely improbable. Second, PNAC (project new century america), founded by the Neo-cons, Cheney, Wolfovitz, Kristol, Jeb Bush etc, wrote in 1999 publicly, that a "catalyzing event such as Pearl Harbor" was needed to advance a new level of global imperialization, which included going into central asia and dominating it for the natural resources. They wrote it, it's public knowledge. On top of those things all the people that enabled the security failures got promoted. I know that this does not add up to proof but it should raise a red flag in your head.
It is an enormous subject and requires an immense amount of research to get the big picture.
