Glenn Beck, Fox News Channel's mouthpiece, led the smear campaign that ousted Van Jones. He derisively referred to Mr. Jones as a Marxist, a radical, and worst of all, a Truther. Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer opined that, "You can no more have a Truther in the White House than you can have a Holocaust denier .

Why didn't the Obama administration stand up for their appointee, and respect his right to question 9/11? Because if they had, they would have legitimized the many questions surrounding the events of September 11th, 2001. It is impossible to believe that no one in the Obama administration knows anything about 9/11 truth, certainly not after the resignation of Van Jones.

This week Charlie Sheen wrote an open letter to the President calling for a new 9/11 investigation. He followed up the letter with a video message addressed to Obama that was posted on Youtube, and numerous prominent websites:

"We want our country back Mr. President, therefore I'm not just calling on you I'm calling on your team, I'm calling on each and every American citizen to wake up, stand up, and demand the truth.

The corporate press immediately brought out their big guns. Bill O'Reilly and Heraldo Rivera called Mr. Sheen "crazy , brought up his checkered past, and compared 9/11 conspiracies to UFOs. Their comments were not just unprofessional, they appeared cheap, even desperate.

When this crime was committed, there was no way to stream video over the Internet. As long as the mainstream media refused to question the official story, few people could learn the truth about 9/11. Today more of us are watching videos on Youtube, and tuning out corporate media windbags like Glenn Beck and O'Reilly.

The problem the establishment has with the 9/11 truth movement is...it's true. Our government is a criminal regime, responsible for the mass murder of 3000 American citizens and the hundreds of thousands of people killed and wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. Al Qaeda is a myth, and the war on terror is a lie.

At this point, we have two choices: We can stop pretending the official story is real and start investigating the events of 9/11, or cling to the myth of September 11th to the bitter end.

I am a writer living in bucolic Spokane, Washington. It wasn't always this way, back in the day I was a restless wanderer. I left home and traveled to straight to Europe, came back and hitchhiked across America. I joined a carnival, then the (more...)
