For 9/11 Truth and Backing Charlie Sheen

 

Asner pulled no punches as he blasted the Bush administration and

Congress over 9/11, the Iraqi War, the Patriot Act and the

POW issue

Actor and long time human rights activist, Ed Asner, on a radio talk

show program Tuesday demanded the government come clean about 9/11,

saying he supports re-opening a new investigation and backs up

statements made last week by fellow-actor Charlie Sheen that 9/11 looks

like an inside government job.

 

Asner, an Emmy ward winning actor and former President of the powerful

Screen Actors Guild, made the plea for 9/11 truth on Greg Szymanski's

radio show, The Investigative Journal on the Republic Broadcasting

Network.

 

The famous television star appeared on the radio show to champion the

issue of POW accountability, making a guest appearance with activist Bob

Dumas who has been searching for his officially " missing and presumed

dead " brother since the Korean War.

 

Dumas claims his brother, Roger, still may be alive despite being lied

to about by the government and despite a Congress unwilling to get at

the truth about thousands of GI's unknowingly left behind enemy lines.

 

Besides the POW scandal championed by Dumas now brewing in Washington

thanks to Asner's help in narrating a video in the hands of every member

of Congress, the vocal and free-talking actor not only demanded 9/11

accountability but gave the Bush administration and Congress a tongue

lashing over the illegal Iraqi War and the passage of the Patriot Act

 

" As for 9/11, I was suspicious from the beginning, but nothing short

of getting at the truth is acceptable for the 3,000 people who died on

that tragic day " said Asner, adding from everything he has researched

the government is obviously covering-up the truth. " AS for the Patriot

Act, how can a law be passed when only a handful of legislators even

bothered to read it. "

 

Asner, who in 2004 also demanded for 9/11 accountability, joined Sheen

who recently went public on the absurdity of the government's 9/11 story

on the Alex Jones radio show, in what now has become a good " one-two

Hollywood insider punch " by Sheen and Asner, a punch directed right into

the credibility of the Bush administration.

 

With Sheen and Asner both calling the 9/11 government story a fraud in

the span of a week, the outspoken Hollywood pair have taken the lead

amongst their show business peers in seeking 9/11 truth in what some

call a " hot potato issue " since it could lead to a loss of money and

film jobs.

 

After Sheen's comments on the Alex Jones show, his 9/11 claims went

national on CNN's Showbiz Tonight, where he trumpeted his 9/11 truth

call for the entire nation to hear.

 

Asner was also scheduled to appear on the same CNN show Tuesday after

he appeared with Szymanski, but Showbiz Tonight pulled the segment at

the last minute with Asner and Sander Hicks of the Green Party because

they couldn't find anyone to take the opposite viewpoint, according to

Mike Berger, media representative of 9/11Truth.org.

 

Asner's entire Tuesday radio interview can be heard on www.rbnlive.com

at the archives page under The Investigative Journal 2006 shows.

 

In April 2004, Asner wrote a letter in support of the 9/11 families

seeking the truth, a copy of the letter appearing on the 9/11 Visibility

Project web site. The letter said in part:

 

" I would like to suggest to you emphatically that the 9-11 truth

movement is the most pressing issue of the peace & justice movement

today. Here is why. 9-11 has been used to justify " endless war " and a

continual rollback in civil liberties that seems to have no end in

sight. Yet, 9-11 remains the least examined tragedy in modern American

history.

 

" Americans would have never agreed to the last two wars and the

Patriot Act's disturbing policy . . . had it not been for 9-11.

 

" There are many disturbing issues around 9-11 that have yet to be

examined in any meaningful way by our media, Congress, and even by the

9-11 Commission. These include accountability for the massive breakdown

of air defense and plane intercept procedures as described in FAA and

DOD regulations, which were violated on 9-11...

 

" This breakdown and astounding unpreparedness by U.S. domestic defense

agencies is puzzling to say the least, given the detailed reports our

government had of the coming attacks, that were bizarrely suppressed by

key officials.

 

" For example, FBI Agent Coleen Rowley suggested that her offices'

attempts to alert higher ups in the FBI of the pre 9-11 activities of

Zacharias Moussaoui " seemed to have been consistently, almost

DELIBERATELY thwart[ed] . . . " While George Tenet, Director of the

CIA, had received a memo in August of 2001 (one month before the

attacks of 9-11) on this report entitled, " Islamic Extremists Learn to

Fly. " Yet, Tenet took no action on this memo. The FBI agents

responsible for the now famous " Phoenix Memo " regarding Osama Bin

Laden sending students to the U.S. to attend civil aviation schools,

also struggled to get their higher ups to act on this information.

 

" To date, no one has been held accountable for the massive defense

failures on 9-11, nor for the bizarre suppression of critical warnings

prior to 9-11. Furthermore, we still have no explanation for why the

head of Pakistani intelligence, who was meeting with top Bush

Administration officials in Washington on 9-11-2001, had wired lead

hijacker Mohammed Atta $100,000.00 weeks before 9-11. We still do not

know who made the insider stock trades in weeks and days leading up to

9-11, by betting " against " United and American Airlines stocks (the

aircraft used as missiles on 9-11).

 

" What we DO KNOW is that $5 million of those insider stock trade

" winnings " apparently by someone who had foreknowledge of the coming

attacks, were made the day before 9-11 at AB Brown Trust. AB Brown Trust

was headed until his induction into the CIA by Buzzy Krongard, who is

now the Executive Director of the CIA. We also know that the current

head of AB Brown Trust quietly resigned his position on 9-11, with no

media scrutiny nor apparently government scrutiny. Lastly, and perhaps

most bizarre is the fact that $2.5 million of those stock " winnings "

against these airlines made at AB Brown Trust . . . remain unclaimed.

 

" We deserve to know why no one has been held accountable, and who made

those insider stock trades. We also deserve to know why the Bush

Administration allowed members of the Bin Laden family to quietly

leave the U.S. after 9-11, with virtually no questioning by the FBI,

and at a time when other Americans were not allowed to fly.

 

" There are many other profound, and bizarrely " unasked " questions around

9-11. I urge all to read " The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions

About the Bush Administration and 9/11 " by David Ray Griffin, and

endorsed by Howard Zinn, and to view " The Great Deception " documentary

by acclaimed Canadian television journalist Barry Zwicker. Peace &

justice leaders and activists will find these works a great resource for

getting current on the 9-11 truth issue, and can be great organizing

tools to educate others.

 

" I fear that if the underlying issues of 9-11 truth are not demanded,

that Iraq may be but a flame on an ocean of gasoline that may be used

to ignite war after war after war. We cannot, as a peace & justice

movement only address the flames. We must look at the fuel being used

to justify the flames of war and repression at home and abroad. We

must look deeply at the events leading up to, on and since 9-11. We

must demand full 9-11 truth. "
