Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell…9/11 Truth at the OC Progressive Summit

If there is one institutional consensus within the powers that be in Orange County, it is that 9/11 Truth is not welcome here! But for the second year, the OC Progressive Summit has accepted OC 9/11 Truth’s application for a table. So we’ll be spreading 9/11 Truth, as usual, one drop at a time:

* explain to those who ridicule and demonize 9/11 Truth that 9/11 Truth has some legitimacy;

* explain to those who suspect something is wrong with 9/11 that 9/11 is extremely wrong; * explain to those who know 9/11 is extremely wrong that it is very important;

* explain to those who know 9/11 is very important that it overwhelms all other political issues:

* explain to those who understand that 9/11 overwhelms all other political issues that going to the bottom of 9/11 will automatically bring to a resolution the progressive agenda:

** rights of undocumented immigrants

** human rights

** gay & lesbian rights

** reproductive rights

** religious tolerance

** environmental preservation

** single payer health care

** living wage

** peace

** people over corporations

** fair elections

** you name it

** by the way, have you noticed how 9/11 Truth solves the conservative agenda also?

Progressives often claim to be guided by observation, reason and love . Let’s be grateful to them for accepting us and let’s preach 9/11 Truth on their own turf and in their own terms! The Progressive Summit charges an entrance fee of $15 on the web, $20 at the entrance. See OC Progressive Summit for exact details.

Love,

Dan Noel

organizer, OC 9/11 Truth

We will not back down and with vigilance and resolve, our undivided nation moves forward and embraces the future.”
