Ray, <<<Again, I see your concern about folks like Ruppert or Zwicker appearing to potentially profit from their involvement in exposing the truth. What I fail to see is why you see fault with this.>>> The "fault" is the tendency to loose track of the original goal in favor turning a profit. Holding a 9/11 convention in Toronto and SF has the appearance of targeting their larger customer bases, and it's a mystery to me why a Canadian city is on the list at all. At a certain point it amounts to drawing energy and resources away from actually educating those with a desperate need for information, in favor of putting on mini vacation packages to turn a quick buck off those who already have the information. There are a lot of people putting out an unholy amount of effort to get the truth out about 9/11, and as close as I can tell, the majority of them are paying for the bandwidth out of their own pockets, and putting in their own time without compensation. Also as close as I can tell, those are the people making the largest impact on getting the information out to more people. The most meaningful activity in which Ruppert has engaged in the past year is the advertising campaign suggested to him by the first party to pay for the full page ad. The response was huge and he collected over $100K toward the project in a matter of weeks. That alone should tell everyone doing research on 9/11 that the primary goal is to get the information into the hands of more people. I recognize that there are expenses involved with the majority of these sort of projects, and also that if a person is going to devote all of their time to an endeavor, they need to figure out a way to keep the wolves away from the door in the process. I don't have a problem with that. For that matter, I don't think a periodic get together to compare notes, gather and share information, and do a bit of rah rah to get the old team spirit going is a bad thing in and of itself. Where I think a certain amount of prudent concern should pop up is when the goal begins to move away from distributing information, to sending love gifts to Father Michael and Father Alex.
