* I'm with a group of media people who are starting a new group in the 9/11 truth movement, calling for an honest, official re-investigation of the 9/11 attacks. * We started getting together about a month ago after hearing David Griffin speak in Keene, NH. Griffin encouraged media people in the audience to start this group and several of us took up his suggestion. * We're working on putting up a website with a petition for media people to sign, demanding a re-investigation. * We're just starting to plan the website details. We expect to have a major statement on the homepage, a petition page, and a links section on one of the pages for links to audio and video files on why to re-investigate the 9/11 attacks. * We have a domain name, so we're ready to start building the website. * We're not planning to put up a donations page yet, because we haven't formed a nonprofit org, although I plan to suggest that we use another nonprofit as a fiscal sponsor, so we won't need to become an official nonprofit ourselves. * I hope that we'll start a newsletter and maybe a radio show on the site in a few months. * For now I hope readers here may like to give suggestions and maybe offer volunteer help. * Here's what 2 members of our group came up with so far for our Mission Statement page. “[Edmund] Burke said that there were three Estates in Parliament [Kings, Lords and Commons], but in the Reporters Gallery yonder, there sat a fourth Estate more important far than they all.” --Thomas Carlyle, “Heros and Hero Worship in History” (1841) “Journalists, as the purveyors of information, are the watchdogs of democracy. Without an informed people, there can be no democracy. It is the job reporters and editors to ask the tough questions of those in power and to act on the answers with trust, integrity, and honesty guiding their judgment.” --Helen Thomas, “Watchdogs of Democracy” (2006) Mission Statement MNET is an organization of media workers, in its broadest and most modern sense. Since September 11, 2001 we have been investigating, asking the hard questions and reporting on the events of that day. Our questions have yet to be adequately or logically answered. We join with other professional organizations in calling for a real inquiry, unfettered by political constraints, to ascertain what really occurred on that fateful day. * I told them I don't care for the first quotation, because I don't think journalists or media are more important than elected representatives and because it sounds like we media people think we're more important than anyone else or better than others. But I like the second quotation, which just needs a minor edit. * I suggested that the Mission Statement be revised to explain why it's important to have a re-investigation, such as to find out who were the guilty parties and to prevent future terrorism by some of the same people. * I'll be working on the wording of our petition shortly, so I'll try to post that here too when I finish and invite comments then.
