TO THE SOLARI ACTION NETWORK
April 25, 2004
Every once in a while an opportunity to shift the political
landscape in radical and transformative ways
comes along.
If those who find it energizing to do so take action today and
tomorrow to bring sunshine to the Department of
Justice's efforts to gag Sibel Edmonds and to
express our objection, we can indeed attract much
more positive energy to our efforts to bring forth freedom
and peace.
The way that the Department of Justice stops sunshine is
by terrorizing the people who would tell the truth.
The truth is like a jigsaw puzzle. We each have a piece.
The truth emerges when we each provide testimony
as to the piece we understand. Testinomy under oath
is the most powerful testimony. As all the pieces emerge,
we learn the truth.
Our opportunity is extraordinary. Sunshine can shift these
situations a lot. If a tiny portion of the time we spend marching
and e-mailing is reinvested in protecting one truthteller and then
another truthteller, the efforts for transparency will compound and
we can shift significant power from those who stop it to our team.
Read the following Action Alert on what is happening and what
each one of us may do to illuminate and prevent the Department of
Justice acting in the interests of the White House and the National
Security Council from persuading Judge Reggie Walton
in DC Federal District Court tomorrow to silence Sibel Edmonds from
telling the truth.
And have a beautiful Sunday!
Lots of love,
Catherine

==================================================
ACTION ALERT
Dear 9-11 activists and concerned citizens,
The following urgent action alert was forwarded to us
from Catherine Austin Fitts in support of former FBI
translator and 9-11 whistle-blower Sibel Edmonds, upon
whom the DOJ is poised to place a gag order. There are
five recommended actions. Please take the time to read
Catherine's impassioned appeal below, and then take
action today! We strongly urge your articipation.
(Also, forward this email around to as many people and
lists as you can.)
For 9-11 Truth,
Emanuel Sferios
Webmaster, 9-11 Visibility Project http://www.septembereleventh.org

URGENT ACTION!
To ensure that the truth can be heard on 9-11, I need
your support. On April 9, 2004 I publicly accused
National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice of lying
under oath before the 9-11 Commission. On Monday, April
26, the Department of Justice is going to be in court
trying to silence Sibel D. Edmonds, an FBI
whistle-blower who claims she has evidence regarding
those lies.
The DOJ is attempting to quash her subpoena -- and
therefore her testimony -- relating to a private
lawsuit involving some 9-11 victims' family members
(details linked below). This private lawsuit could
potentially illuminate the Saudi role in and around
9-11. There is also concern that the DOJ and Judge
Reggie Walton will take action in separate, pending
litigation to subject Ms. Sibel to a gag order in the
name of "national security." Both actions include
gagging information that our government had specific
warnings of the possibility of planes being used as
missiles.
Now is the time to take a stand! I cannot stress enough
how CRITICAL it is for the 9-11 Truth movement to stop
the DOJ in this attempt to silence Sibel Edmonds. Our
success hinges on supporting those inside the machinery
of government who are willing to speak out. If we allow
the government to gag Sibel Edmonds, we will be sending
the wrong message to other potential truth-tellers. We
need to let those on the inside know the movement will
support them if they come forward.
I personally have sat in the court room alone for nine
years. No one came. No one cared. It is a brutal and
horrible experience. The DOJ lawyers laugh. The judges
laugh. My own attorneys felt the isolation.
Going to rallies and marches may be more fun, but we
MUST support the individuals who are confronting the
system from the inside. We need to march into court and
say "NO! You will NOT stop the truth from coming
forward!"
Is Sibel Edmonds telling the whole truth? I have no
idea. Is Sibel Edmonds a perfect person? Probably not.
But this is irrelevant. Sibel Edmonds is taking the
single most courageous act an insider could take -- to
publicly testify to the piece of the puzzle that she
knows, inside the very belly of the beast. And she is
going up against EXACTLY THE SAME PEOPLE AND NETWORKS
WHO ARE DOING THIS SAME THING TO ME.
Supporting Sibel Edmonds right now means supporting the
principle of protection for whistle-blowers, and for
government transparency. We need to stop the DOJ's
efforts to terrorize the people who could bring out the
truth, whether it is Sibel, me, or anyone who promotes
transparency inside the machinery.
And it won't take much to turn the tide. The DOJ and
the Courts desperately rely upon the appearance of the
rule of law. They WILL back down if we confront them
within the very court system they use to maintain the
appearance of legitimacy. Don't underestimate the power
of sunshine.
Here's what you can do to help. (Please do as many of
these as you can.)
#1. COME TO COURT ON MONDAY!
If you live in the DC area, please come to support Ms.
Edmonds and to make sure the Judge and the DOJ know
that the public insists on 9-11 transparency. The
hearing will be held in the US District Court (3rd and
Constitution Avenue), in Judge Reggie Walton's
courtroom, on Monday, April 26, at 11:30 AM. Ms.
Edmonds will be in front of the Constitution entrance
at 11:00.

#2. EMAIL AND CALL THE INDIVIDUALS WHO MATTER
The Department of Justice budget is funded by the White
House and the Congress. Please email John Ashcroft and
cc Bush, Cheney, Rice, Frank Wolf (Chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee), Roscoe C. Howard, Jr.
(DC US Attorney), Peter D. Keisler (Assistant Attorney
General), and Judd Greg (Chairman of the Subcommittee
on Commerce, Justice, State and the Judiciary).
Simply copy and paste the following sample text in your
email, or use your own words.

Dear John Ashcroft,
I have recently learned that the department of Justice
is attempting to silence Sibel D. Edmonds, a former FBI
translator who is attempting to tell the truth about
9-11. It is outrageous that my tax dollars are being
used to prevent government transparency in what appears
to be a 9-11 coverup. Does this administration have
something to hide? Ms. Edmonds and any other government
employees or contractors who want to tell the truth
have a right to do so. The public has a right to know
the truth!
Sincerely,
(your name)
cc: President George Bush, Vice-President Dick Cheney,
National Security Advisor Condaleezza Rice, House
Appropriations Committee Chairman Frank Wolf, DC US
Attorney Roscoe C. Howard, Jr, Assistant Attorney
General Peter D. Keisler, Subcommittee on Commerce,
Justice, State and the Judiciary Chairman, Judd Greg

#3. FORWARD THIS ACTION ALERT TO OTHERS
Please post this action alert to relevant lists and
forward it to ten or more people in your network who
are interested in seeing the truth emerge on 9-11.
Also, contact your local media (use a google search to
find their emails and phone numbers) and encourage them
to cover the story.
#4. THROW THESE PEOPLE OUT OF OFFICE -- VOTE WITH YOUR
ATTENTION AND MONEY
While we wait until November to vote at the pools, we
can vote in the marketplace with our media attention,
bank deposits, and our purchases and investments. When
we shift our market "votes" to local banks and local
media, we break up the economic power that is running
the federal government. Shift your bank deposits from a
large bank to a well managed local credit union or
community bank. Shift your media attention and
subscriptions to media that is telling the truth about
9-11 and your local media. Let's use our consumer power
to break up the banking and corporate cartel that is
running our government to stop transparency and
accountability.
#5. PRAYERS AND MEDITATIONS
Our intention is for total transparency on 9-11. Keep
believing and thinking, "May it be so!"
