McCain Overwhelmed by 9/11 Truthers

Senator Refuses Demands for a New Investigation, Claims "Additional Information" About 9/11 and Leaves Event Irritated and Angry.

Republican presidential candidate John McCain was literally overwhelmed by reporters from WeAreChange.org and Infowars.com seeking 9/11 truth during a campaign stop.

McCain, who wrote the forward to Popular Mechanics' Debunking 9/11 Myths, repeatedly told reporters, "I do not support a new investigation" and stated that he believes the "9/11 Commission did a good job."

But other reporters continued to hammer the complicit senator with further questions and demands for a new 9/11 investigation. Seemingly frustrated that he could not simply brush off 9/11 truthers, McCain retreated to his SUV where he entertained questions from the mainstream media only.

Staff members attempted to take away a bullhorn and remove alternative media from the site, but backed off at warnings not to assault the reporters or stifle the first amendment.

Reporters cited hundreds of witnesses, including police officers, firefighters and former janitor William Rodriguez, who all reported hearing bombs go off in the lower levels of the WTC towers-- accounts that contradict the basic findings of the 9/11 Commission.

McCain flatly told reporters that he did not support a new investigation and claimed to have "additional information," stating that he did not believe there was a cover-up.

If such settling "additional information" indeed exists, John McCain has an obligation to share it-- though the mere fact that he has withheld information about 9/11 from the public seems to directly point to a cover-up.

Reporters also asked McCain about links with Ed Failor of Iowans for Tax Relief who hosted the recent televised forum for Republican presidential candidates and expressly left out Congressman Ron Paul. John McCain admitted that Ed Failor was a paid staff member working for his campaign.

McCain wrote in Debunking 9/11 Myths, "Blaming some conspiracy within our government for the horrific attacks of September 11 mars the memories of all those lost on that day."

Yet when reporters emphasized the fact that it is family members of 9/11 victims who want a new investigation, McCain merely walks away.

    • On the morning of 9/11, In an interview with Dan Rather, when asked if over this past decade evidence pointed to "State Sponsored Terrorism" and that if decisions were made to look the other way,

      McCain responded by saying:

      "I felt that there's been involvement"

    • He believes that Islamofascism is everywhere? All around the world? In every city? In cyberspace? hiding under every bed? Listening to "siren songs", hating our freedoms and waiting to blow themselves up?

      What a fucking paranoid idiot. Fuck him.

    • "we are change" those dudes are only good at causing a scene and making the rest of us look like moonbats.

      Their bullhorn tactics only push people away instead of opening their eyes.

      They should try a more intellectual approach.

      You mean like this approach? I agree with you to a degree, HolyCity, I wish they focused on the scientific evidence rather than simply repeating "9/11 was an inside job," which it was. But I'm glad they are raising their voices, soon we all will.

      If their method was worth a shit then everyone would have learned the facts 3 years ago. The tactics these clowns practice are self defeating and regressive.

      I guarantee that I have opened more eyes with subtle approach than any ass hole with a bull horn on a street corner. People just don't want to be approached like that.

      I'm in it to win it, "we are change" are just guys who need a hobby.

      it's similar to kids who learned how to skate vs. glue sniffing kids who just bought skater clothes at the mall. one is worth a shit and the others make everyone look bad..

    • John McCain is an instrumental part of the coverup by writing the forward to "Debunking 9/11 Myths." In it he writes:

      "Any Internet search will turn up thousands of explanations for the events of September 11.These theories come in nearly infinite variety, but all reach essentially the same conclusion: that THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, OR SOME SHADOWY GROUP THAT CONTROLS IT, ORGANIZED THE ATTACKS AS PART OF A MASTER PLAN FOR GLOBAL DOMINATION. But the truth is more mundane."

      "Blaming some conspiracy within our government for the horrific attacks of September 11 mars the memories of all those lost on that day."

      "The CIA was not involved in 9/11. Our military did not bring about the destruction of the World Trade Center. Bombs or missiles did not fell the towers. A white jet aircraft did not shoot down Flight 93."

    • John McCain Questioned About 9/11 Being an Inside Job

      During a town hall event in Portsmouth, OH John McCain was asked by a member of the audience whether his links to the parent organization of the Project for a New American Century explain why he has been reluctant to support calls for a new investigation of 9/11.

      The 9/11 truth movement is not being led by curious minds -- the movement is led by victims of the tragedy and their families, who KNOW the truth.

    • John McCain’s connection to PNAC [Project for the New American Century] can be traced back to before its formation in 1997. In fact, he was president of the New Citizenship Project, founded by Kristol in 1994. This organization was parent to PNAC, and served as its chief fundraising organ.

      The Project for a New American Century released a document entitled "Rebuilding America's Defences," written in September of 2000 (one year before 9/11) outlining the proposed changes in military spending, domination over countries in the middle east and tightening of security. It stated:

      "the process ... of revolutionary change is likely to be a long one - absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event,

      Like a New Pearl Harbor"

      Almost exactly one year later they had their event which justified each and every national and gobal proposal.
