Veterans for 9/11 Truth Delivers check for $8,472.00 on Oct. 1, 2006

Members, Truthseekers, Truthtellers and Patriots
It was a great day in Madison, Wisconsin. The sun was shining and
the trees were just starting to change colors. The 9/11
Lecture "Fact and Folklore" with Kevin Barrett and Jim Fetzer was
well attended and the speakers did a superb job. The BBC was there
to cover the event along with some local media. Veterans for 9/11
Truth was there and we passed out a couple hundred DVD's, numerous
flyers and we even had 100 copies to pass out of the ACTA letter
sent to the President of the Board of Regents of the University of
Wisconsin Madison that addressed the Kevin Barrett controversy.                               You
can find it here:

ACTA LETTER

Jim Fetzer presented the v911t check to Kevin Barett in the amount
of $8,472.00. Again, I want to thank our hard working member
Cait for the website she created to help raise some of the money and
for her generosity towards this important cause of Free Speech. This
check represented Kevin Barrett's right to free speech. The Ozaukee
County Board in Wisconsin decided to reduce the amount they
contribute to the University of Wisconsin Madison in the exact
amount of Kevin Barrett's wages to punish the university for their
decision to keep Kevin Barrett in his teaching position. This was a
great day for free speech... - Take Care, Matt.

By Kevin Tillman
Editor’s note: Kevin Tillman joined the Army with his brother Pat in 2002, and they served
together in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Pat was killed in Afghanistan on April 22, 2004. Kevin,
who was discharged in 2005, has written a powerful, must-read document.

It is Pat’s birthday on November 6, and elections are the day after.  It gets me thinking
about a conversation I had with Pat before we joined the military.  He spoke about the
risks with signing the papers.  How once we committed, we were at the mercy of the
American leadership and the American people.  How we could be thrown in a direction not
of our volition.  How fighting as a soldier would leave us without a voice… until we got out.  

Much has happened since we handed over our voice:

Somehow we were sent to invade a nation because it was a direct threat to the American
people, or to the world, or harbored terrorists, or was involved in the September 11
attacks, or received weapons-grade uranium from Niger, or had mobile weapons labs, or
WMD, or had a need to be liberated, or we needed to establish a democracy, or stop an
insurgency, or stop a civil war we created that can’t be called a civil war even though it is.  
Something like that.

Somehow America has become a country that projects everything that it is not and
condemns everything that it is.

Somehow our elected leaders were subverting international law and humanity by setting
up secret prisons around the world, secretly kidnapping people, secretly holding them
indefinitely, secretly not charging them with anything, secretly torturing them.  Somehow
that overt policy of torture became the fault of a few “bad apples” in the military.

Somehow back at home, support for the soldiers meant having a five-year-old
kindergartener scribble a picture with crayons and send it overseas, or slapping stickers
on cars, or lobbying Congress for an extra pad in a helmet.  It’s interesting that a soldier
on his third or fourth tour should care about a drawing from a five-year-old; or a faded
sticker on a car as his friends die around him; or an extra pad in a helmet, as if it will
protect him when an IED throws his vehicle 50 feet into the air as his body comes apart
and his skin melts to the seat.

Somehow the more soldiers that die, the more legitimate the illegal invasion becomes.  

Somehow American leadership, whose only credit is lying to its people and illegally
invading a nation, has been allowed to steal the courage, virtue and honor of its soldiers
on the ground.  

Somehow those afraid to fight an illegal invasion decades ago are allowed to send
soldiers to die for an illegal invasion they started.

Somehow faking character, virtue and strength is tolerated.

Somehow profiting from tragedy and horror is tolerated.

Somehow the death of tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of people is tolerated.

Somehow subversion of the Bill of Rights and The Constitution is tolerated.

Somehow suspension of Habeas Corpus is supposed to keep this country safe.

Somehow torture is tolerated.

Somehow lying is tolerated.  

Somehow reason is being discarded for faith, dogma, and nonsense.  

Somehow American leadership managed to create a more dangerous world.

Somehow a narrative is more important than reality.

Somehow America has become a country that projects everything that it is not and
condemns everything that it is.

Somehow the most reasonable, trusted and respected country in the world has become
one of the most irrational, belligerent, feared, and distrusted countries in the world.

Somehow being politically informed, diligent, and skeptical has been replaced by apathy
through active ignorance.

Somehow the same incompetent, narcissistic, virtueless, vacuous, malicious criminals
are still in charge of this country.

Somehow this is tolerated.

Somehow nobody is accountable for this.

In a democracy, the policy of the leaders is the policy of the people.  So don’t be shocked
when our grandkids bury much of this generation as traitors to the nation, to the world
and to humanity.  Most likely, they will come to know that “somehow” was nurtured by
fear, insecurity and indifference, leaving the country vulnerable to unchecked,
unchallenged parasites.  

Luckily this country is still a democracy.  People still have a voice.  People still can take
action.  It can start after Pat’s birthday.  

Brother and Friend of Pat Tillman,

Kevin Tillman

Army medical examiners concluded Tillman was shot three times in the
head from just 10 yards away, no evidence of "friendly fire" damage at
scene, Army attorneys congratulated each other on cover-up, Wesley
Clark concludes "orders came from the very top" to murder pro-football
star because he was about to become an anti-war political icon

Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Friday, July 27, 2007

Astounding new details surrounding the death of Pat Tillman clearly
indicate that top brass decided to execute the former pro football star
in cold blood to prevent him from returning home and becoming an
anti-war icon.

These same criminals then engaged in a sophisticated conspiracy to
create a phony "friendly fire" cover story.

Shocking new facts emerged about the case last night but were
bizarrely underplayed by the Associated Press under nondescript
headlines like 'New Details on Tillman's Death' - a complete disservice
to the horrific implications that the new evidence carries.

Army medical examiners were suspicious about the close proximity of
the three bullet holes in Pat Tillman's forehead and tried without
success to get authorities to investigate whether the former NFL
player's death amounted to a crime, according to documents obtained
by The Associated Press.

"The medical evidence did not match up with the, with the scenario as
described," a doctor who examined Tillman's body after he was killed on
the battlefield in Afghanistan in 2004 told investigators.

The doctors - whose names were blacked out - said that the bullet holes
were so close together that it appeared the Army Ranger was cut down
by an M-16 fired from a mere 10 yards or so away.

The report also states that "No evidence at all of enemy fire was found
at the scene - no one was hit by enemy fire, nor was any government
equipment struck."

The article also reveals that "Army attorneys sent each other
congratulatory e-mails for keeping criminal investigators at bay as the
Army conducted an internal friendly-fire investigation that resulted in
administrative, or non-criminal, punishments."

So there was no evidence whatsoever of friendly fire, but the ballistics
data clearly indicated that the three head shots had been fired from just
10 yards away and then the Army tried to concoct a hoax friendly fire
story and sent gloating back-slapping e mails congratulating each other
on their success while preventing the doctors from exploring the
possibility of murder. How can any sane and rational individual weigh
this evidence and not come to the conclusion that Tillman was
deliberately gunned down in cold blood?

The evidence points directly to it and the motivation is clear - Tillman
abandoned a lucrative career in pro-football immediately after 9/11
because he felt a rampaging patriotic urge to defend his country, and
became a poster child for the war on terror as a result. But when he
discovered that the invasion of Iraq was based on a mountain of lies
and deceit and had nothing to do with defending America, he became
infuriated and was ready to return home to become an anti-war hero.

As far back as March 2003, immediately after the invasion, Tillman
famously told his comrade Spc. Russell Baer, "You know, this war is so
fucking illegal," and urged his entire platoon to vote against Bush in the
2004 election. Far from the gung-ho gruff stereotype attributed to him,
Tillman was actually a fiercely intellectual man with the courage of his
convictions firmly in place.
Tillman had even begun to arrange meetings with anti-war icons like
Noam Chomsky upon his return to America before his death cut short
any aspirations of becoming a focal point for anti-war sentiment.

According to Daily Kos, Wesley Clark appeared on Keith Olbermann's
Countdown last night and stated that "the orders came from the very
top" to murder Tillman as he was a political symbol and his opposition to
the war in Iraq would have rallied the population around supporting
immediate withdrawal.

The notion that the U.S. government gave orders for Army top brass to
execute Pat Tillman in cold blood is the most damaging indictment of
the Iraq war since it began, trumping the lies about weapons of mass
destruction tenfold, but if the establishment media continue to
soft-peddle and steam-valve one of the biggest stories of the century
its impact will be completely diluted.

It is up to us to make this story go viral because the implications are so
dire that they could act as the final death knell for the blood-soaked and
illegal occupation of Iraq and become the clarion call to bring our
troops home.
