Toronto Hearings and the need of a new commission on 9/11

When newspapers like Swedish www.DN.se describe people who question the official story of 9/11 as paranoid conspiracy theorists who does not understand what happened on 9/11, and therefore make up stories, one hesitates to go out and say – well, I’m one of those people. What can I say, like so many others I’m just not completely convinced by the official story.

DN continues with implying that the groups which bring up questions on 9/11 even threatens the general trust in the democratic process, and thus democracy itself. Well, I can agree on that trust is endangered by all twist and turns around this event, but that is not solved by mocking the people who question the official story.

Why should they care about the laws of “the grown ups” – about anything – when they are being told that they, or at least their future children, might not have a future at all – not even a shitty one.

I never re-posted someone else’s blog here before, and it’s not really what I intend to do with this blog (so far), but this was just such a coincidence – I wanted to write something like this today, but someone already did – brilliantly!

THIS WEEKEND, in Stockholm, the global community will stage one of its occasional high-profile stand-offs between an authoritarian government, and what is known as the “free world”.
