Colorado 9-11 Visibility Divided by Disinformation – No longer Active in Fight for 9-11 Truth

Editors Note- Due to interest expressed by some, I am providing a brief explanation of the cause of this split in our group.

Yesterday I chose to take a stand against disinformation and misinformation in the 9-11 movement even though I knew that if I did, it would likely mean the end of one of the most credible and effective 9-11 groups in the world.

Despite being one of the original founders of Colorado 911 Visibility, and having made numerous and credible contributions to getting at the truth of what happened on September 11th, 2001, I was told by Fran Shure that I would no longer be welcome as part of the Colorado 911 group. But you see, Fran and the “Team” had a problem in kicking me out and that problem was that I own the web domain.

Back in 2004 when I helped start this group, I was the only one who had the savvy to get a website going for our new group, even though I knew absolutely nothing about websites back then. I bought the domain and built our first website and have made sure domain and hosting fees for the website were taken care of for the past 9 years.

Recently, Fran Shure and the “Team” have been drifting further and further down the road of 9-11 disinformation. A couple of weeks ago, I was informed through email that Fran and the “Team” had a meeting and decided to show a film featuring one of the worst, garbage filled presentations out there by a woman named Barbara Honegger who makes unfounded claims that Flight 77 did not hit the Pentagon. While this viewpoint is largely accepted by the 9-11 movement as truth, careful examination reveals that there are deep flaws in the no plane theory that cannot be reconciled by the available evidence.

Fran admitted to me that she knew I was going to oppose this but the decision was made regardless. When I heard, I let Fran and the “Team” know that under no circumstances will I allow them to post any announcements at the website for this garbage. For this, I was called a dictator and control freak.

I have managed to keep things “clean” for over 9 years with this group and my influence has helped to give our group credibility in the midst of a tremendous disinformation campaign. The Colorado group had made achievements beyond those from any other group in existence today because we had credibility and guarded it very closely. However, those days are over and instead of working to keep our groups’ good name, Fran and the “Team” have decided to give the movement a major black eye by leaving Colorado 911 Visibility with intentions to form a new group where they can deliver disinformation free from my “dictatorial control”.

I will continue to pay the expenses of the website and keep it up as an archive of this once great and effective group. I will also publish in the days to come, a full and accurate account of these events at the website for those interested in what happened. RIP Colorado 9-11 Visibility.

Denver, Boulder, and Grand Junction Monthly Meetings for October 2013: “September 11 – The New Pearl Harbor”

September 11 – The New Pearl Harbor is a five-hour documentary that summarizes 12 years of public debate on 9/11. All the most important issues in this debate are presented in great detail, showing both the positions of the “debunkers,” those who advocate for the official version, and the evidence presented by the 9/11 Truth Movement, those who reject the official version. 

This month, from this three-DVD set, we will show the first DVD, which will cover the air defense failure, the hijackers, and the aircraft.

This is another excellent film by Italian filmmaker Massimo Mazzucco, who also gave us New American Century; Cancer: The Forbidden Cures; and The Second Dallas: Who Killed RFK? 

We hope you will join us for the film and the discussion afterward.

Conspiracy Theory in America: Author to Speak in Denver

We are indeed pleased to cosponsor the author of the newly released book, Conspiracy Theory in America, Dr. Lance deHaven-Smith. He will be in Denver, Colorado, for two presentations and book signings. Dr. deHaven-Smith will discuss the history and destructive implications of the term “conspiracy theory.” He will also share with us his research on State Crimes Against Democracy.

State Crimes Against Democracy (SCADs) are illegal or extra-legal actions committed at the highest levels of public office. According to Dr. deHaven-Smith, examples of SCADs that have been officially proven include the Watergate break-in and cover-up and the illegal arms sales of Iran-Contra. State Crimes Against Democracy should become a household term because it is desperately needed to give an organizing clarity to a special type of political high crime, one that threatens democracy itself, as opposed to political corruption for personal gain such as embezzlement or kick-backs.

Please join us for these events:

Thursday, September 5, 2013 (doors open at 6:30 PM for book signings; presentation at 7:00 PM)

The Conspiracy-Theory Conspiracy
Tattered Cover Bookstore, LoDo
1628 16th Street (at Wynkoop St.)
Denver, CO 80202
Parking and other information

At the Tattered Cover, Dr. Lance deHaven-Smith will discuss the origins and destructive implications of the term “conspiracy theory” as a dismissive put-down in U.S. public discourse.  Most Americans are unaware that the conspiracy-theory label was popularized by the CIA in a global propaganda program to deflect criticisms of the Warren Commission’s conclusion that President Kennedy was assassinated by a lone gunman.  The label has become a verbal defense mechanism used by political elites to suppress mass suspicions that inevitably arise when shocking political crimes benefit top leaders or play into their agendas, especially when those same officials are in control of agencies responsible for preventing the events in question or for investigating them after they have occurred. DeHaven-Smith’s presentation will be drawn from his new book, Conspiracy Theory in America, which was published in April 2013 by the University of Texas Press.

Friday, September 6, 2013 (doors open at 6:30 PM for book signings; presentation at 7:00 PM)

State Crimes Against Democracy in Modern American History
First Universalist Church of Denver
4101 E. Hampden Ave.
Denver, CO 80222

(NE corner of Colorado Blvd. and E. Hampden Ave.; enter parking lot from Ash St., one block east of and parallel to Colorado Blvd.)
Map and other information

At the First Universalist Church of Denver, Dr. Lance deHaven-Smith will discuss the growing body of theory and research on elite political criminality in the United States.  In a 2006 peer-reviewed journal article, deHaven-Smith coined the term State Crimes Against Democracy (SCAD) to delineate a crime category for Watergate, Iran-Contra, Plame-gate, and other conspiracies in high office.  SCAD research has been highlighted in special issues of American Behavioral Scientist (February 2010) and Public Integrity (June 2011).  DeHaven-Smith’s new book, Conspiracy Theory in America, was published in April 2013 by the University of Texas Press.
