THE 9/11 TRUTH SLEUTH HERALD
Minuteman Reports from the Summer of Truth

INAUGURAL ISSUES
The autistic media silence notwithstanding, there is
now enough exciting stuff happening to, for and
courtesy of the 9/11 Truth movement that its time to
start developing a news service for ourselves. These
brief weekly bulletins are intended as a first step in
that direction and we invite your help with news tips,
backing and distribution spams.
Progress reports in this first outing are short and
sweet and cover the following ground:
SUMMER OF TRUTH (STRATEGY & ONGOING CAMPAIGNS)
-- Reports on the Fahrenheit 9/11 and Peace & Justice
9/11 Eureka Campaigns
UPCOMING ACTIONS
-- 9/11 education drives at the Boston Social Forum,
the Alliance for Democracy and Veterans for Peace
conventions, and Democratic National Convention.
Often when we report that "we" are doing something it
means "we" in the very widest sense. Many times the
people carrying out these actions including Fahrenheit
9/11 leafleting, sign hoisting, house party organizing
and other 9/11 visibility actions are self-starting web
site visitors who we have never seen or met. This
contagious spread of 9/11 action and awareness across
the heartland is obviously the most important aspect of
our work and one that "we" hope you will report on as
well as provoke on your own.
All these campaigns depend on that widening and any
help on this front – whether physical, fiscal or
tactical -- would be lavishly appreciated (and
patriotic to boot).
===================
SUMMER OF TRUTH
===================
We have outlined the next few months' strategy in an
online doc -- click the Summer of Truth banner at
911truth.org -- but to briefly introduce the
concept here is how it starts.
CAMPAIGN STRATEGY & OBJECTIVES
"The Summer of Truth Campaign intends to build a
powerful grassroots movement for full 9/11 truth
disclosure and legal-political redress based on
existing proof of this government's misrepresentations,
exploitation and investigative obstruction of the
events of September 11, 2001. Given the enormous body
of evidence refuting the "official 9/11 story," we can
now lay out a prima facie case for foreknowledge,
complicity and/or obstruction of justice that can then
feed grand jury proceedings, impeachment hearings, or a
People's 9/11 Truth Commission.
"Rethinking 9/11 as a yet unsolved crime and marshaling
the known facts in terms of Motive, Means and
Opportunity will greatly clarify public understanding
of our leaders' role in this tragedy and empower
millions now fed up with the fear, wars and fiscal ruin
it has engendered. The campaign will employ
collaborative networks, high-profile events, and a
grassroots media campaign to publicize this evidence,
debate its legal and political implications, and decide
whether the next step should be indictments, impeachments, or a fresh independent inquiry."
When you look at the strategy outline, you will see how
the following campaigns fit into this scenario and
maybe even think of deft new tactics of your own.

CAMPAIGN UPDATES
===================
"DUDE, THERE'S MORE TO THE STORY!" - the Fahrenheit
9/11 Campaign
(see 911truth.org and 911visibility.org)
According to field reports, theaters showing Moore's
film have been intensively leafleted in several dozen
cities now and more than 30,000 fliers have been handed
out. We are profoundly grateful for all that great
effort and hope the momentum continues to grow.
We also would like to pass out thousands more at the
Boston Social Forum, the Veterans for Peace and
Alliance for Democracy conventions in Boston next week
as well as to every delegate (and most protestors) at
the DNC. If you live in the region or are attending any
of these events and wish to lend a hand, please contact
Boston action coordinator, Adam Hurter
THE P&J 9/11 EUREKA CAMPAIGN – 911visibility.org, our
activist activation center, has just completed a
mailing of Griffin's New Pearl Harbor, the Official
9/11 Cover-up Guide, and a sparkly list of anti-war
celebrity 9/11 Truth endorsements, to 400 peace &
justice leaders for distribution and discussion in
their groups. Early feedback has been encouraging in
the extreme and shows many are starting to "get it" as
the "9/11: Ground Zero for the Anti-war Movement" meme
continues to spread.
===================
UPCOMING ACTIONS (very partial)
===================
ACADEMIC -- At the Boston Social Forum, 911Truth.org
will co-sponsoring and organizing a 9/11-intensive
workshop on Saturday, 8:30-10:00 AM, July 24th.
Entitled "9/11, War and the Rule of Law", it will
feature Dan Ellsburg, Michael Ratner (Center for
Constitutional Law), POCLAD co-founder Ward Morehouse,
Kyle Hence of 911truth.org and 911citizenswatch.org,
and more! See outline below…
ACTIVISTIC -- We are recruiting a volunteer force to
cover all the activist-rich Boston events and pass out
thousands of flyers and thousands of "Bush is lying
about 9/11"/"Stop the 9/11 Cover-up"/"Only 9/11 Truth
Will Set U.S. Free" signs as well as teaching other
issue groups about 9/11's overall relevance. If you are
going to be anywhere in the area between September 22nd
and the 29th, please contact Adam Hurter
(ahurter@wesleyan.edu or Tel: 508-523-1475) for places
to get involved.
=================================
Boston Social Forum Featured Workshop:
9/11 LIES, WAR AND THE RULE OF LAW
-- Redeeming recent tragedies by ending the corporate
coup
The breakdown of our legal system and democratic rights
certainly did not begin on September 11, 2001. But few
can question that this unexplained tragedy and its
brutal exploitation have greatly accelerated and
dramatized our people's loss of control.
Our current path leads to a literally lawless frontier
where corporate power and its political agents
unilaterally determine the form and conduct of our
world. Assuming this passage is not yet complete and we
the people still retain some political clout and
relevance, how do we best marshal our dwindling forces
to reverse this tide and return legal power to human
hands?
This session would examine four key areas of lawless
unaccountability that inform and spur our task:
-- Mother of Many Evils; the unchallenged lies of 9/11
and their deft
enablement of domestic repression, corruption and
endless war;
-- Constitutional Corrosion: Autocratic corporate
governance, PATRIOT Acts and the amazing disintegrating
Bill of the Rights
-- Demonized Patriotism: The Whistleblowers Tale: the
criminal
classification of vital public information and
persecution of those who set it free;
-- Collateral Damage Demands: aggressive legal/moral
indifference to first
responder/civilian victim concerns;
It would conclude with a panel brainstorm opening to an
audience-wide discussion of legal/political strategies
to expose truth, reclaim control and deliver us "in
time"
