We believe that the process of joining together in search of the truth about 9/11 will bring enormous benefits, regardless of what truths we may discover. While our endorsers and supporters have different views about the probable level of US government complicity in 9/11, all of us agree that a new, honest investigation of the possibility of official complicity is a matter of the most urgent national and global importance."
http://www.mujca.com/Mods, please leave this in general discussion - it's about an important political development of interest to all, not just "9/11 research" specialists... and best of all - no tin-foil hat stuff!
Co-founder Kevin Barrett wrote the following regarding their recent event hosting David Ray Griffin:
Dear Friend of the 9/11 Truth Movement,
A new era has dawned: David Griffin's incendiary but well-documented charges of Bush administration complicity in 9/11 have broken into both local and national mainstream media from right here in Madison! C-span will broadcast Griffin's talk on Book TV (see below). Check the website below for times. And WYOU-TV, cable channel four, will broadcast their own tape of the talk at 7 p.m. Thursday.
If you missed this historic moment-- the biggest lecture hall on campus overflowing with over 450 people who gave Griffin a thunderous standing ovation for charging the Bush-Cheney regime with orchestrating the 9/11 attacks--you'll have to see the tape to believe it!
And you won't believe the local media coverage either. Scroll down and do a double-take.
We must seize this moment and push for a new investigation. Write and call the local media, your representatives, and anybody else who might be righteously angered to learn that the Bush regime slaughtered 3000 Americans in order to launch a bloody, interminable war they had already planned. And get ready for street demonstrations as the "springtime of truth" heats up. Finally, be ready to turn out quickly for direct action in the all-too-likely event they launch another fake attack to trigger a draft and an attack on Iran. (The more heat we put on now, the less they'll think they can get away with it.)
We can take back this country. Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work.
Sincerely,
Kevin Barrett

And now for some incredible coverage!!! First are reprints of several articles, followed by some information posted at MUJCA-NET News about local radio interviews. Keep in mind, this comes on the heels of recent articles in San Francisco and Philadelphia, and just before Hustler runs an interview with Dr. Griffin (due out early June). This is really good news!!

Talking about Sept. 11
On Monday, Madison will be the site of a rare visit from David Ray Griffin, theology professor and author of "The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11."
As one might guess from that title, Griffin is controversial. He is being sponsored by a coalition of groups, including the UW Multicultural Student Coalition and MUJCA-NET (a new Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance).
"The question of the media coverage (or lack thereof) of the demonstrable mendacity of the official story of 9/11 is the proverbial elephant in the living room," says Kevin Barrett of MUJCA-NET. Griffin's talk is being taped by C-SPAN for play at a later date. Jennifer Moire, C-SPAN spokeswoman, explains its decision to cover the event as a logical follow-up to the "extensive" coverage they gave the Commission and Congressional Sept. 11 hearings: "It just seems appropriate to cover other voices."
Griffin says Madison is only his fourth lecture stop on Sept. 11 because he doesn't like to travel, so he usually sticks to radio interviews he can do in his slippers. But he calls Madison an exception because he likes seeing people of different faiths coming together to talk about Sept. 11. And he's "very happy" C-SPAN is coming. "It will be the closest thing to mainstream coverage that this kind of interpretation of 9/11 has received," Griffin says.
His talk is (WAS) Monday at 7:30 p.m. in 272 Bascom Hall.

Speaker Says Bush Knew Of Sept. 11 Plans
- Theologian and Author Believes the President Endorsed the Attacks to Build Up Support for his Military Plans.
by Doug Erickson
Wisconsin State Journal
Page B1, April 19, 2005
Note from Ed. at 911Truth.org: The Griffin 9/11 Truth Effect continues to reverberate. Consider just these lines:
"sufficient to suggest that there is no escape from the frightful conclusion that 9/11 was engineered by the Bush administration and its Pentagon." He closed by saying religious people must seek the truth about 9/11, create new means to spread the information, and work to thwart Bush's attempts at global domination. The crowd gave Griffin a standing ovation."
Unlike Madison's progressive Capitol Times which carried the other Griffin story below, the Wisconsin State Journal is known as a crusty Republican rag with circulation all across the state. If this does not justify perseverance, it's hard to say what would. - Ed.
A noted Christian theologian suggested Monday in Madison that the Bush administration not only had prior knowledge of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, but probably helped orchestrate them.
David Ray Griffin, 65, a retired professor at the Claremont School of Theology in Claremont, Calif., said the government's version of the attacks is so implausible it can't possibly be true.
The numerous inconsistencies and far-fetched explanations from Bush officials "show that the attacks must have been planned and executed by our own political and military leaders," Griffin said.
He thinks Bush endorsed the attacks to gain support for a military buildup and global domination effort that began with the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Griffin is part of a small group of scholars and others questioning the government's story and the conclusions of the bipartisan 9/11 commission that investigated the attacks.
Griffin's speech before about 450 people at Bascom Hall on the UW-Madison campus was considered a major victory by his supporters in that it was taped by C-SPAN for later broadcast on the public service cable channel. No air dates were available Monday.

Theologian Calls for Response to 9/11
By Samara Kalk Derby
Capitol Times,
Madison, WI
April 20, 2005
Again, from 911truth.org: By all accounts this was a magnificent showing (and telling) by Dr. Griffin and will be shared with the whole country on CSPAN's Book TV the weekend of April 30/May 1st. Please stay tuned for exact times and dust off your VCR to get copies of this out. - Ed.
(snip)
His comments Monday night were directed at religious people, who he said need to respond to Sept. 11 - and the American empire that has ensued - based on the moral principles of their religious traditions.
Drawing laughter from the crowd, Griffin said he had in mind principles like: "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors' oil" and "Thou shalt not murder thy neighbors in order to steal their oil."
While Griffin noted that his books and talks have not received attention from the mainstream media, C-SPAN had a cameraman at the event and plans to air the lecture at a future date. Madison's public access cable television station, WYOU-TV/Channel 4, meanwhile, will air the talk at 7 p.m. Thursday.
Americans interpret the events of Sept. 11 in one of four ways, Griffin said:

Radio News from MUJCA-NET:
David Griffin was Ben Merens' guest on Wisconsin Public Radio Monday, February 21st at 3:00 p.m. By an odd coincidence, WPR's Madison headquarters was hit by a freak power outage at 2:45. They were able to get backup power and return to the airwaves at 3:10, but WPR headquarters and the surrounding area was left without power for 2 1/2 hours. The outage was blamed on a substation sending faulty data to the electric company.
Visit the Ben Merens show and listen to Ben's David Griffin interview
David Griffin's two 9/11 books are getting some interesting recommendations. On Wisconsin Pubic Radio (2/7/05) 27-year-CIA veteran Ray McGovern said he "used to be an agnostic" on the issue of official complicity in 9/11, but that David Griffin's new book The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions has made a believer of him. McGovern is now fully convinced that the 9/11 Commission Report was an egregious cover-up and the case needs to be re-opened. McGovern is working with a group called Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, who presumably represent the public tip of a very large iceberg of current and former insiders who are appalled at what has been going on in this country and are hoping to do something about it. Let's hope that the pirate ship of 9/11 criminals is about to collide with that iceberg. And let's help make sure that it does by making some noise. Listen to Ray McGovern on the Ben Marens show..
Also in Madison, the WYOU-TV show Garden of Truth (Sundays 7-8 p.m. cable channel 4) regularly hosts discussions of 9/11 truth from a Muslim perspective.
