Denver Monthly Meeting: “Torturing Democracy” June 2009

June 12, 2009 by

Thursday, June 25th is TORTURE ACCOUNTABILITY ACTION DAY. Since 9/11 was the pretext for the shameful legacy of torture that our country now bears, we will deviate from our usual 9/11 truth films, and honor the crucial need for accountability for those responsible for authorizing these atrocities.

Video: “Torturing Democracy”

After 9/11/01, five lawyers for the Bush administration met behind closed doors, called themselves the “War Council,”  and crafted legal counsel to authorize torture by our military and intelligence agencies.

Shown on Bill Moyers Journal, Torturing Democracy is a film from award-winning producer Sherry Jones. It examines America’s detention and interrogation practices in the “war on terror,” and gives us an overview of this history: Who was rounded up by bounty hunters and others around the world? Who tried to stop this insanity? Who prevailed with this political policy creating the mess we now have? What did Congress do? What did the Supreme Court do? What happened to the detainees?

We will learn that the techniques used came from the SERE (Survival Evasion Resistance Escape)  military training program, which in turn came from North Korea, the Soviet Union’s Stalin, and the Spanish Inquisition.

If you cannot join us for the movie and discussion, you may watch this film online at http://www.torturingdemocracy.org/.

DENVER

When: Friday, June 19, 2009,  7:00pm – 9:30pm

Meeting Timeline:

7:00-7:20: Announcements

7:20-9:00: Video (maybe a short “mood changer” video to follow)

9:00-9:30: Discussion: What did the film leave out? Since the trail of evidence for 9/11 leads in part to Rumsfeld and Cheney, why would they be so insistent on torturing  detainees? What action can we take on June 25th?

____________________________________________________________________

Note: Please be aware that we are a multi-partisan organization and do not consider torture a Republican value. Many from the Republican and Libertarian parties have been among the most vociferous in calling for a new investigation into 9/11 and consider the radical neo-conservatives  treasonous–as well as the Democrats who continue to cover-up and enable these policies.

Major 9/11 Truth Breakthrough!!! KBDI Denver Airs 9/11 Press for Truth

It was a big big day at the KBDI Five Points Media center for 9/11 Truth.

Having developed a relationship with the Denver metro area local PBS broadcasting station for over the last 3 years by simply taking donation phones calls, in exchange for a few minutes to talk to the audience about the 9/11 cover up, Colorado 9-11 Visibility has succeeded in making history.

KBDI aired the groundbreaking documentary film 9/11 Press for Truth June 4, 2009 during prime time with well over an hour of live interviews with film producers Kyle Hence and Ray Nowosielski, and also powerful testimony from Bob McIlvaine.

Station managers and VP were extremely pleased as to how well this documentary was received and should be commend for doing what no other station has done in the nation and air a controversial film exposing the cover up of the 9/11 tragedy by our government.

The station Press Release reflects the excitement and enthusiasm of the Colorado’s 9/11 Truth community hailing this a major step forward and encouraging other stations to air this incredible documentary film.

This is being touted as one of the most successful fund raising events in station history and proves that people are dying for real answers about that day.

‘9/11 Press for Truth’ on Channel 12 Draws Huge Support from Colorado Public Television Viewers
Program will repeat at 2:00, 9:00 and midnight on Saturday

Release Date: 06/04/09
Author: J Nagle

DENVER – (June 4, 2009) – KBDI has always been at the forefront of controversial programming and last night was no exception. As the first broadcast station in the United States to air the controversial documentary 9/11Press for Truth, which claims a 9/11 cover-up, KBDI showed that it is not afraid to touch on sensitive subjects.

Due to viewer response to the program, Channel 12 will repeat the program Saturday, June 6 at 2 p.m. and 9 p.m., followed by an encore at midnight.

During the premiere, Bob McIlvaine, who lost his son Bobby at the World Trade Center, and 9/11Press for Truth producer Kyle Hence and director Ray Nowosielski were in the studio to give more insight into why they believed 9/11 was a cover-up and why the American public should be screaming for answers.

Supporters of the documentary hope that because of the risk KBDI took by putting 9/11 Press for Truth on the air that more PBS stations across the nation will take a chance and broadcast the controversial documentary.

Press for Truth’s producer Kyle Hence already has heard the cries saying people from all over the country have been forwarding his e-mails on to their local PBS stations.

The program will repeat on Channel 12. A full schedule of air times for all of the programs can be found at www.KBDI.org.

“I was enjoying watching TV this evening when I came across the 911 program. As a very patriotic American, I was apalled (sic) at the frivilous (sic) allegations that were being made. “

“Thank you for taking the risk and having the guts to show this program. Real news and investigative journalism are scarce commodities these days.”

“Congratulations on airing the well, second – program concerning the fallacies that have been promulgated to the American public concerning the history and events of 9/11.”
