Dear 9-11 activists and concerned citizens,
The following urgent action alert was forwarded to us from former Assistant Secretary of Housing 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 participation. (Also, forward this appeal to as many people and lists as you can.)
For 9-11 Truth,
Emanuel Sferios
Webmaster, 9-11 Visibility Project

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. (Ed. Note: Please see below.)
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. (Ed. Note: Please see below.)
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,

#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 polls, 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!"

Overview
Our democracy depends on honest leaders who promote transparency and accountability in the management of our resources. How do we protect such leaders from being terrorized by corrupt special interests that play dirty? If we can figure out how to do this, amazing things can happen! Catherine Austin Fitts is working to find a way.
The story of Hamilton Securities provides an excellent case study for understanding the nuts and bolts of how our democracy is threatened and how to get it back. Hamilton is involved in three civil lawsuits: (1) Hamilton Securities v. The United States, US Court of Federal Claims; (2) Ervin relator for United States vs Hamilton Securities (Qui Tam), US District Court for the District of Columbia; (3) Hamilton vs Ervin & Associates & John Ervin, US District Court for the District of Columbia.
