This response from David Kubiak to Nico Haupt's 21 questions is now making<br>the rounds. <br><br>Nico,<br><br>Am currently traveling in India and have been rather gratefully out of<br>touch with the doings of the Empire and the 24/7 rattle of manufactured<br>news, propaganda and internet tirades. Occasionally do stop in a<br>sweltering cybercafe to check the email spew and find you have been busy<br>disgracing thyself again with astonishingly goofy smear attacks.<br><br>Let me begin by stating that since your first year or two of rather<br>admirable work, I have watched you devolve into an increasingly credulous<br>twit ? always earnest, often adorable, but a twit nonetheless. I see from<br>the screeching interrogation below, however, that you now aspire to the<br>ranks of Torquemada, Robespierre and the House Un-American Activities<br>Committee.<br><br>I guess it was inevitable that as the 9/11 movement widened we would<br>develop our own fundamentalist fringe who would happily crucify anyone who<br>did not share their brittle dogma and effectively splinter us from within.<br>"Don't believe in holograms, pods, Pentagon missiles, America's Manifest<br>Destiny, papal infallibility or the Virgin Birth? Would you prefer the<br>rack, the garrote or a good old fashioned 'guilt by tertiary association'<br>assassination smear?"<br><br>In earlier US movements these radical purist provocateurs were often well<br>paid mercenaries, and many Pinkerton and cointelpro agents, for example,<br>got quite decent dental plans. I know you well enough to realize you are<br>not working for "them" in this regard, but think if you started handing<br>out your recent resume you might find some surprisingly appreciative<br>recognition and compensation thrown your way.<br><br>In any event, Nick Levis was wise and right to ignore you since there is<br>real work going on, but I have a little time on my hands right now, so<br>will humor your Monty Python reprise of the Grand Inquisitor's stance.<br><br>First off, I should clearly say that I am not writing on behalf of<br>911truth.org or any members thereof. These are all quite personal<br>reflections on the pathetic internecine war now going on, and why if Rove<br>is not paying you now, he's a bungling ingrate of the first order.<br><br>Regarding 911truth.org, however, there are a few things I can say. One is<br>that we chose quite consciously and early on, that capital punishment for<br>treason was quite sufficient justice for our cause. LIHOP was treason,<br>MIHOP was treason, so we really didn't care if we hung the bastards with a<br>six or twelve foot rope as long as all the relevant feet twitched in the<br>air.<br><br>All that concerned us was building the case, outrage and public support<br>necessary to achieve this task. Unmasking the fraud of 9/11 was not only<br>critical to halting fascist consolidation and the accelerating war<br>machine, it also stripped bare the malignant roots of the entire corporate<br>coup d'état. In other words, it offered a teachable moment to awaken the<br>fat, dumb and hapless populace to the scale of bipartisan perfidy and<br>corruption now running the spectacle we see.<br><br>The peculiar virtue of the current crowd was their overt corporate<br>codependence, documented aspirations for full spectrum dominance, total<br>reliance on fear-driven obedience, and obvious ruthlessness toward anyone<br>or thing that dared stand in their way. Exposing and hanging them would<br>not simply gratify the thirst for justice, it could educate an entire<br>generation to the murderous corruption that has usurped our democracy<br>since Kennedy's death and now is nearing global control.<br><br>That is the real issue at hand, not the posturing of a half-retarded,<br>fully scripted Howdy Doody dolt like Bush, not even the bloody conquest of<br>a few oil-rich lands, and certainly not your stupid and self-righteous<br>litmus tests about which 9/11 scenarios are canonical and which are not.<br><br>9/11 was just another means to the long sought end of monotonic economic<br>dominance of every inch of earthly life. It has succeeded thus far, and<br>will continue to as long as you insist on turning the issue into dogmatic<br>religious cult. September 11 was not just a cold-blooded overreach, it was<br>critical instrument of global dominion, greed and war. We can only redeem<br>and reverse its meaning by reverently exploiting it to wake the world.<br>This is a painful purging process and demands more sustained courage and<br>effort from the American public than we have ever witnessed before. We<br>have seen such popular heroism recently in the Philippines, Chiapas and<br>Eastern Europe so we know it is humanly possible, but we also know that<br>fear, ignorance and disinformation here are more powerful than ever too.<br><br>We in the movement all know how central 9/11 now is to maintaining fear,<br>centralizing control and terminating democracy, and that is why so many of<br>us virtually destroyed our lives to see this education, discovery and<br>contagious awakening process through. That is why it is so inexpressibly<br>annoying to have to deal with ankle-biters like thee who are far more<br>concerned with 9/11's tactical trivia than world engulfing holocaust those<br>murders put in play.<br><br>In any event, if only for the benefit of your extensive cc list, quite a<br>number of whom I do respect, let us now repair to the thumbscrew room<br>where I shall gladly give you all the facts you seek (plus a few editorial<br>ejaculations regarding the quality of your work).<br><br>You wrote:<br><br>:: David Kubiak,<br><br>:: it's time to finally speak out and please don't send your backers to do<br>the dirty work for you.<br><br>:: There is some serious background information about 911truth.org and now<br>you have the opportunity to speak out in front of other popular 9/11<br>researchers, -authors and -activists.

He was rarely if<br>ever invited back.<br><br>Interogatee Editorial Observation (IEO): You are a twit.<br><br>:: 2) You worked with Professor Dr. Y.C. Zhang at the Tsinghua University.<br>Are you aware, that this University received donations by the James Baker<br>Institute and their Micro-Nuclear Technology research?<br><br>A) I knew, assisted and still greatly admire Dr. Zhang at Osaka University<br>where she was doing all the instrument engineering and experimental design<br>for Dr. Yoshiaka Arata, Japan's foremost hot fusion physicist who had gone<br>rogue and was then doing cutting edge research in cold fusion at the time.<br>I helped them with their English correspondence, journal report editing,<br>and getting their work replicated in foreign labs.<br><br>And are you really not aware, Nico, that virtually every major university<br>on the planet has received questionable funding from some very unsavory<br>hands at some point in time?<br><br>IEO: You are a dolt.<br><br>:: 3) Can you explain in one sentence, why this "cold fusion" research is<br>from any pratical use and how can you assure an independent research, not<br>abused by any military influence?<br><br>A) By 2010 cold fusion reactors the size of dishwasher will offer every<br>household in the industrial world a clean, cheap and totally decentralized<br>source of heating and electrical power. Larger community facilities will<br>electrolyze water into oxygen and hydrogen offering pollutionless<br>vehicular fuel, and can also be used to cheaply power recycling<br>facilities, public transport systems and seawater desalinization plants.<br>This breakthrough will not only end our foreign fossil fuel dependence and<br>forestall the imminent water crisis, it will shatter the economic and<br>political power of our dominant energy corporations, and return an<br>extraordinary measure of autonomy to communities around the world.<br><br>I can't guarantee the military won't try to abuse it anymore than I can<br>assure you they won't try to abuse the power of the computer, internal<br>combustion or the washing machine.<br><br>IEO: You are a petulant egomaniac whose slovenly logic, language and<br>research disserve us all.<br><br>:: 4) Have you ever been in touch with japanese intelligence or<br>-intelligence contractors or US intelligence or -intelligence contractors?<br>What about military contractors?<br><br>No.<br><br>IEO: You are a twit.<br><br>:: 5) How was 911Citizen's Watch able to rent space in the very same<br>building, when the first meeting of the 911 Commission took place? Did the<br>connection of some 9/11 family members help and if so, who was it?<br><br>A) They cunningly looked in the phone book, called up the building rental<br>office, and rented the room just as you or anyone with $1200 could have<br>done that day.<br><br>:: Did the connection of Guy Vantresca (ex-NSA) help? Is Guy Vantresca<br>still in touch with 911truth.org?<br><br>A) Guy has never "been in touch with" or had anything to do with<br>911truth.org (although he did help me buy a computer cable once).<br><br>:: (In case you wanna refer to Kyle Hence to answer this, it's your<br>choice, though Hence is still connected with 911truth.org via registration<br>and public events)<br><br>A) Kyle remains an important ancestral spirit of 911truth.org, and through<br>his C-SPAN work, web networking, and impeccable event organizing has done<br>more to open up the public mind to 9/11 skepticism than you will ever<br>comprehend.<br><br>IEO: You are a dolt.<br><br>:: 6) Can you explain, why the "support" of the following persons who<br>signed your 'truth petition', are helpful for 911truth.org and the 9/11<br>truth movement?::<br><br>:: Rachel Ehrenfeld, Ph.D.-a member of the ultra-hawkish neocon think<br>tank, Committee on the Present Danger, whose honorary chair is George<br>Shultz (Bechtel).

New Hampshire venture finance tycoon Goulder was<br>the founder of defence electronics giant Sanders Associates which was<br>acquired by Lockheed/Martin in the 1980s and is now known as BAE Systems.<br><br>:: John Cobb, Ph.D., associated with Club of Rome member and former World<br>Bank economist, Herman Daly (Daly has also worked with the U.S.<br>Sustainable Population Policy Project).<br><br>:: Paul H.

One<br>of SRI's main funding sources is Bechtel (as in, George Shultz's Bechtel).<br><br>:: David Korten, joined the new generation of Club of Rome.<br><br>A) The 9/11 Truth Statement was a call for a new criminal investigation<br>that outlined a list of dramatic indications that the official story was a<br>pack of lies and government foreknowledge and complicity were quite<br>apparently involved.<br><br>We then threw it out to a suprapartisan audience of non-movement figures<br>who had nothing personal to gain from publicizing this demand. We were<br>just trying to demonstrate that 9/11 skepticism had escaped the sweaty<br>basements of usual suspect paranoia and pave the way for ordinary people<br>from every political and religious persuasion to feel safer expressing<br>their doubts and seconding the independent criminal inquiry demand.<br><br>We didn't give a damn who signed really as long as they believed the<br>official story was a fraud and were respected by a sizable constituency<br>whom 9/11 activists had no normal recourse to and we could thus hope to<br>finally reach.<br><br>IEO: You are a petulant egomaniac whose lazy and ignorant free association<br>witch-hunts disserve us all.<br><br>:: 7) Why did you stop supporting former 9/11 Truth presidential candidate<br>John Buchanan, after he was allegedly arrested by Secret Service?<br><br>I was John Buchanan's campaign manager during his NH GOP primary bid in<br>2004, bailed him out of jail in Florida, and sheltered him at my home for<br>several months after he was "allegedly arrested by the Secret Service."<br>When I'm home we talk on the phone at least twice a week and we remain<br>close friends to this day.<br><br>IEO: You are a twit.<br><br>:: <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/glasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Can you confirm, that you cancelled one speech from Lauren Moyet at<br>the DC "truth"-emergency conference and if so, why?<br><br>A) No, I can't because I didn't. Leuren was invited to lead off a Sunday<br>"Lethal Deceit" workshop on depleted uranium and to brief the afternoon<br>plenary on the state of the DU truth movement today, both of which she did<br>quite admirably. She was also our security backup for the Lafayette Park<br>event in case Sunny Miller, whom we had originally consulted regarding DU<br>and veteran issues, could not come.<br><br>IEO: You are a dolt.<br><br>:: 9) Why do you think, it's productive to let a 9/11 victim speak at the<br>anniversary march, who actually supports the official story? Donna Marsh<br>O'Connor, Mother of Vanessa Lang Langer.<br><br>A) Why do you think - when you can't even read the internet correctly, you<br>can read a person's heart? And why in hell would you ever think that Donna<br>Marsh O'Connor is a dupe or government apologist? Just because she doesn't<br>gush support for whatever dingbat theory you're pushing as flavor of the<br>month? Have you ever read her writings or noticed the passion and<br>precision with which she skewers the whole neocon cabal? Unlike your nerdy<br>tech obsessed approach to 9/11, she clearly comprehends the Big Picture of<br>what went down and the strategy in play. To call her an official story<br>supporter is an unimaginably imbecilic thing to say.<br><br>IEO: You are a petulant egomaniac whose slovenly logic, language and<br>research disserve us all.<br><br>:: 10) Do you believe that the current policy of 911truth.org can stop<br>fascism and a worldwar scenario between US, Russia and China?<br><br>I seriously doubt whether any current group's policy will forestall future<br>wars, cure cancer or stop the locusts eating Senegal. I do believe,<br>however, that opening more and more surprising windows on the workings of<br>the corporate coup could rouse enough old-fashioned patriotism to<br>overthrow this fascist crew. Despite often being labeled a lefty Green<br>myself, I somehow feel we're going to get most of our help in this effort<br>from totally apolitical mothers and the Libertarian right. The current<br>left just seems riddled with too many dogmatic ego freaks like your<br>eminently divisive self who are less concerned about the action or result<br>than where they stand in line.<br><br>IEO: You are a twit.<br><br>:: 11) Why did you not vote for a protest anniversary march to GROUND ZERO?<br><br>A) GZ is certainly a great crime scene and a vital place to teach some<br>facts, but it is also a truly sacred public tomb.<br><br>We have been asked repeatedly by victim families - many of whom support<br>our cause - to keep it peaceful, private and holy on just that single day.<br>I would wish to honor that sentiment, especially since silent grief and<br>questioning, even the simple repetition of "Why?" can often lead people<br>quite intuitively past denial and propaganda to quite deep perceptions of<br>the truth.<br><br>Besides I just don't see how another march could do anything new or<br>powerful or even useful at Ground Zero on that day. It could open new<br>fronts, however, if it took our outrage straight to the stupefaction<br>sustaining media and to the United Nations press corps whose members may<br>not know the full script yet but certainly see some bloody writing on the<br>wall.<br><br>IEO: You are a dolt.<br><br>:: 12) Why are Nafeez Ahmed, Peter Lance and Danny Schecter connected with<br>911truth.org, who actually support the official story of 9/11?<br><br>A) You are obviously operating in some parallel semantic universe if you<br>can uniformly label these guys as "official story supporters" with a<br>straight face. Just what is the Inquisition's current definition of<br>"official story" these days? And if these fellows were supporting it, why<br>would they be shouting for a brand new inquiry? The Kean/Zelikow<br>Commission supported the official story to the max, so if that was these<br>men's intent they should have shut up a year ago.<br><br>IEO: You are a petulant egomaniac whose slovenly logic, language and<br>research disserve us all.<br><br>:: 13) What is your personal view of controlled demolition of WTC 1, 2, 7<br>and the missing or contradictory BTS records of the official flights on<br>9/11?<br><br>A) My personal view is that the physical case for demolition is virtually<br>undeniable, especially with Building 7, but the proponents of this view<br>have been excruciatingly lazy and/or unimaginative in following up on its<br>implications.<br><br>If the conclusion that science and logic lead them to is true, the<br>questions then quickly become the highly researchable issues of who, when<br>and how. Simply hollering "demolition" over and over in greater detail<br>does not advance our case an inch. Where are the researchers willing to<br>get off their computers and go out and solve this thing? There must be a<br>thousand supportive details and witness recollections lurking out there in<br>the streets, but most of our crowd is Google delimited, so we're going<br>nowhere on this front. The BTS questions are too conflicted and confusing<br>at this time with too many family members - some whom I trust - saying<br>they watched the planes take off.<br><br>IEO: You are a twit.<br><br>:: 14) What's your take on democracyNow!, ANSWER, United for Peace and<br>MoveOn.org, who are blocking the truth about 9/11? Why isn't there a<br>protest march against them, too?<br><br>A) Regarding 9/11 and the real war we face, I think they are all myopic,<br>weak and pathetic, but for four different reasons which I don't have time<br>here to explicate. When we finally turn the corner though, a few or all<br>will finally join our side, unlike the mainstream leviathans which are<br>structurally committed to the corporate coup. In fact some key players in<br>these groups are already on our side, but continue to keep their silent<br>distance because of the dingbat faction wars in our midst.<br><br>I don't generally believe in unity at any cost, but pretty damn soon all<br>9/11 activists who want to have a real effect are going to have to come<br>together and find some basic grounds on which we can agree. As mentioned<br>earlier, as long as that position recognizes treason - MIHOPish or<br>LIHOPesque, demands a fully empowered inquiry, and reveals the lethal<br>corruption of the coup at sufficient depth and breadth, I'm on board.<br><br>In other words, I really, really don't care what kind of hardware hit what<br>target, who was driving or what opportunistic bells & whistles were added<br>on. In my mind, they are all relatively trivial technical details well<br>downstream from the real crime which was the top level literal conspiracy<br>to a) let it come or b) bring it on.<br><br>IEO: You are a dolt.<br><br>:: 15) Why did 911truth.org support John Kerry, having been aware of<br>rigged e-voting machines and his past at Skull+Bones?<br><br>A) I may be having a senior moment, but can't for the life of me remember<br>us ever endorsing the Kerry ticket. He never offered more than a kinder,<br>gentler rape & pillage imperialism, was death on 9/11 truth, and served<br>the corporate oligarchy like a wholly owned obedient son.<br><br>IEO: You are a petulant egomaniac whose slovenly research disserves us all.<br><br>:: 16) Why did 911truth.org not look into the suspicious background of the<br>7/7 london attacks?<br><br>A) Because we are stretched so damn thin attending to America's coup and<br>destruction that explosive sideshows in London, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan,<br>etc. are well beyond our current competence and ken.<br><br>IEO: You are a twit.<br><br>:: 17) Why did you write on 911truth.org, that "the next few months will<br>decide what, if any, September 11th truth will ever be revealed for many<br>years to come"?<br><br>I wrote that in the see/hear/report-no-official-evil wake of the 9/11<br>Commission hearings, predicting that if we the people did not start to<br>stir up some fierce demand for real truth, the 2004 political spectacle<br>would enshrine the Kean/Zelikow mythology as official reality for a long,<br>long time. It was offered in exhortative mode, not in resignation, and<br>introduced the Summer of Truth concept which thanks to the work of scores<br>of people generated a lot of inspiring events and earned a widely<br>gratifying response. In fact, I remember a lot of important NY<br>contributions in this period from Kyle, Nick, Cynthia McKinney, Sibel<br>Edmonds, John Judge, Indira Singh, Jenna Orkin, Les Jamieson, Sander<br>Hicks, Lennie Charles, Jimmy Walter, Alan Duncan, Bob McIlvaine, Jim<br>Ridgeway, most of our 911truth.org crew and many, many more, but I can't<br>recall a single bit of useful help at any point from you.<br><br>IEO: You are a dolt.<br><br>:: 1<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START 8) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/glasses.gif ALT="8)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Why did 911truth.org allow, that David Ray Griffin wasn't allowed<br>to speak at the public Mckinney hearings? What about Morgan Reynolds? Why<br>wasn't he invited into the panel? Who took the decision for Paul Thompson,<br>who did not publicly speak out yet, that 9/11 was an Inside Job?<br><br>A) Will have to answer this one somewhat intuitively because sometimes the<br>logic and meaning of your charges get pretty dim, especially since we<br>didn't have anything to do with Cynthia's event except helping persuade<br>Mindy and Lorie to appear and finally speak their mind.<br><br>In any case, Griffin was not invited to McKinney's event because she was<br>starting off her 9/11 resurrection in softball mode to coax other<br>congressional sponsors on board. He is scheduled to speak at her all day<br>Congressional Black Caucus 9/11 briefing in September though, when she<br>will let loose with the bigger guns. Not sure about Reynolds situation.<br>You should probably ask him. Cynthia knew and trusted Thompson from<br>before, and he had already earned his own breakthroughs with Regan Books,<br>Air America, etc. If you can read through Paul's meticulous timelines and<br>not understand what he is doing and how infinitely more powerful it is<br>than your scream, shout and slander approach to turning public<br>consciousness around, then we seem to be involved in very different<br>enterprises.<br><br>IEO: You are a petulant egomaniac whose slovenly logic, language and<br>research disserve us all.<br><br>:: 19) Why do you allow a LIHOP/MIHOP diversion by Nic Levis, who<br>believes, that these labels can coexist with each other?<br><br>A) Because they can and do co-exist, sometimes in the very same people<br>(e.g., the Big Wedding crowd who believes that "we" knew when and where<br>"they" were coming with such precision, "we" decided to graft on some<br>bells & whistles of our own, like building demolitions, planted personal<br>effects, etc.) The overriding point that I feel obliged to keep belaboring<br>is that both are equally TREASONOUS!<br><br>We could prove LIHOP to a fair minded grand jury now. Winning a neocon<br>focused MIHOP indictment with the evidence now at hand is exceedingly<br>dubious. If both paths would gain us a capital crime proceeding with full<br>subpoena and discovery powers, why choose the most problematic way in?<br><br>This is where you really lose me, Nico, since it seems you care far more<br>that your half-baked theories are venerated than that justice might<br>finally be done. It's not good enough to hang the bastards and expose the<br>whole rotten establishment, they have to be hung with your own autographed<br>rope. Otherwise you will not lift a finger to help and indeed spend most<br>of your time attacking the prosecutor for inadequate shrieking zealotry.<br><br>IEO: You are a twit.<br><br>:: 20) What's the purpose of letting Ray McGovern (ex-CIA) speak at public<br>911truth.org events, who did not publicly speak out yet, that 9/11 was an<br>Inside Job?<br><br>A) Ah, this gets truly tiresome, bro, but let's just try this one more<br>time. The purpose of 911truth.org events is not to toe your highly<br>idiosyncratic ideological purity line, it is to draw new minds, resources<br>and energy into the anti-corporate fascist fray. Some approach that task<br>in different ways depending on their passion, knowledge and expertise.<br>McGovern brings us a lot of all three and has also read both of Griffin's<br>books and reveres him deeply. When or where he will announce his own<br>interpretation of events is entirely up to him, but given all that he has<br>sacrificed and the beating he has taken to expose the murderous hypocrisy<br>of this government, I feel that he has earned our trust and he sure as<br>hell has mine.<br><br>Those of us who had nothing to lose by following this path often forget<br>the complex equations others face when they try to maximize their impact<br>on this issue by maintaining some decent level of credibility.<br><br>IEO: You are a dolt.<br><br>:: 21) Who is payrolling David Kubiak, Nic Levis and 911truth.org? What's<br>your both regular jobs?<br><br>A) Well, Nick and I and several others are supposed to be payrolled by<br>911truth.org but that sweet fiction sort of burned out last September when<br>we poured all our meager resources into project work instead of feeding<br>the staff and our online fundraising never raised more than $4~5 hundred<br>per month. So I am approximately 7 months behind in rent to my mother no<br>less, though I now draw a small contingent salary from planktosinc.com<br>which got me over to India to look into some carbon forest restoration<br>work. Nick can speak for himself, but as far as I know his last real<br>paycheck was for organizing Jimmy Walter's NY gig last fall and believe he<br>now does odd-job translations and lives from hand to mouth.<br><br>911truth.org itself has only survived thanks to the volunteer passion of<br>its few remaining "staff." Its project events, like the DC Truth<br>Convergence, were entirely funded ? to the tune of $24 thou and change ?<br>with the help of the 60% of attendees who actually paid for their rooms<br>and registration and a few big private benefactors including a couple<br>doctors from NY and NJ and a couple of entrepreneurial truth advocates<br>from California. We are currently looking for some professional<br>fundraising help (20% mercenaries will do), because this is where we<br>clearly suck.<br><br>IEO: You are a petulant egomaniac whose lack of vision, humor and<br>generosity really truly disserves us all (and must make life pretty<br>deathly grim for you, too).<br><br>++++++++++++++++++++<br><br>OK, Robespierre, time's up. Allow me to re-insert my fingernails and bid<br>you fond adieu. Any further questions will be gladly answered same time,<br>same place, next year.<br><br>Meantime would recommend you study Uncle Karl Rove's "Master Course in<br>Character Attack" if you really want to improve your skills. Trying to<br>smear someone by linking them to someone else who once gave a speech or<br>took a leak in the Pentagon is a pretty amateur approach. You should have<br>gone after my mother who was scanning maps in the DC War Department from<br>'44 to '45. Since I was in fetal residence for half that time, that's some<br>mud that could really stick.<br><br>Yours since the womb in the war machine,<br><br>W.
