Linda and I are now watching Damages on Netflix, and it is fabulous.  It's about this cutthroat lawyer, Patty Hewes, played by Glenn Close. And she deserves some award because she plays the most cunning and diabolical lawyer there ever was, who will do anything to win, and she is indomitable.  

Right now, she and her associate, a young woman played by Australian actress Rose Byrne, are suing a company that is supposed to be like Blackwater Security. They are suing them for the wrongful death of 4 employees who were sent on an illegal secret military mission in Afghanistan. 

So, there is a lot in the story about the war in Afghanistan, and much of it is filmed in Afghanistan, although I doubt that it's really Afghanistan. And it raises a lot of questions about why we are fighting in Afghanistan, the fact that it is the longest US war, and most of all: what tactics and methods are legally and morally justified to prosecute this war. And yes, it involves torture. 

But, one thing that is not addressed in the program is why we ever went to Afghanistan in the first place, which is: 9/11. We went there to get Osama bin laden for what he supposedly did to us on 9/11. We didn't get him; in fact, it has been widely reported that OBL died in Afghanistan in 2001- he had numerous health problems, including kidney failure. And never mind the claim of the Seals having killed him in 2011 in Pakistan; it is nonsense. And look how many of those Seals are now dead. 

Here is an article from 2013 which says that 20 out of the 30 Seals are dead, but more of them have died since then.

So, this program has to do with torture and war crimes committed by a Blackwater-like company in Afghanistan on behalf of the US Military. Their employees are, in fact, private soldiers. They look like, dress like, and act like soldiers in a military theater except their paychecks come from the Blackwater-like company, which is supported wholly by US taxpayers. They are a private army.  

So, the story has to do with right and wrong, and legal and illegal, but what if the whole war is illegal? If 9-11 was an inside job, if those buildings were brought down by explosives or even min-nukes as some are now alleging, it means that the whole basis for the U.S. invading Afghanistan in 2001 was fraudulent. And that means that there is nothing "right" about any of it.  

And that brings us to the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth. They are now suing NIST.

Lawsuit to End FEMA/NIST Stonewalling


NIST releases Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests very reluctantly — and only when it is sued. So, let's sue them.

That is AE911Truth researcher David Cole's conclusion after making numerous attempts since 9/11 to extract information from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This secretive federal agency perpetually ignores Cole's requests, though what he seeks — and NIST suppresses — should be available to the public. Here's where you come in!

As a result of NIST's inaction on Cole's latest inquiry, AE911Truth needs to hire an attorney to file a lawsuit. This proposed action stems from AE911Truth's conviction that the 9/11 research community must have access to the same unfiltered evidence that government officials had when creating their reports on the destruction of the three World Trade Center buildings. In a constitutional Republic, it is the duty of citizens to monitor their public servants, including, as Cole puts it, "checking their math."

A brief background on our upcoming lawsuit: In 2011, Cole asked the Federal Emergency Management Agency for the records of its investigation on the World Trade Center. At first, FEMA denied having any records, then it claimed to have turned over everything to another federal agency — namely, NIST. FEMA referred Cole's FOIA request to NIST, and NIST eventually released a tiny portion of the records. But that arrangement between the two agencies wasn't legal under the FOIA statute, which mandates that agencies maintain control over their own records.

Thus, the lawsuit by AE911Truth will ask the court to order both NIST and FEMA to release all of the WTC records gathered by FEMA during its 2001-2002 WTC investigation — text and images that go above and beyond the selective records FEMA chose to put in its May 2002 report. The complete record includes all evidence gathered by the various contractors that FEMA employed as part of its investigation. Cole estimates that the total exceeds 490,000 documents, videos, photographs, and any other format that FEMA or its contractors used.

Here's where you come in. To pay an attorney to file a lawsuit, we need your help. Please pitch in today to support this $8,000 project. We hope to accomplish our fund-raising goal in two days. Can we count on you to meet that target?
