Strong stuff - thanks.
This film pissed me off again....many more need to get pissed off. This country and our Liberties are being stripped right out from under us in plain sight and nobody does jack shit. We're dead.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition I was struck by the fire fighter's New York accent and recalled basic training where I first came into contact with a large group of strange sounding guys from the East Coast. (Guys that became buddies and good friends). He reminded me that we are all Americans. He recalled Willie Rodriquez saving his and 11 others lives without concern for racial differences, while at the same time giving me reason to pause and consider my ancestry and my dad, who was a German/Irish/Catholic fire fighter for 30 years, and how under-stated these brave men are, but most importantly he caused me to reconsider the strength, determination and pride of our predecessors who would never stand for the blatant lies and hypocrisy being shoved up our collective asses by a group of moral degenerates, con men and traitors that have managed to over throw our government right before our eyes. These vermin promote the racist antagonism that often times cause rifts where there shouldn't be any to keep us from bringing them to the gallows. Like Randy Weaver said not so long ago, it's time for Americans to steel-up. It's time to step out of the shadows and take these fucking scumbags out. Whether by mass protests or the inescapable/inevitable violence that appears to be imminent ... makes no difference, this shit has to cease. Enough is fucking enough. Anyone standing in opposition is either too fucking stupid, too fucking lazy or too fucking in bed with the masters of disaster or their system of incremental enslavement. I remember people saying "NO MORE WACOS" ... well 9-11 was WACO X 10,000 when you consider the expansion into the middle-east wars. Fuck Bush and the shit eating scumbags he dines with.

By Manny Badillo Victim's Family Member 8-8-7 BROOKLYN, NY -- Firefighter John Schroeder, assigned to Engine Company 10 directly across the street from the World Trade Center complex, holds back tears and describes his first-hand experience on Sept. 11th. His story directly contradicts many aspect of the National Commission on Terrorist attacks though corroborates many other eyewitness testimony.Standing outside the firehouse with my buddies, we were talking about how beautiful the day was. Then just like that, our lives changed forever. Some of those guys I would never see again." In this exclusive interview, Firefighter Schroeder recollects in great detail how he was one of the first firefighters to rush to the complex. "We first assembled on West Street, where we saw someone burnt beyond recognition. We were like 'What is going on here?' and then went straight into the Marriot building" From there, Firefighter Schroeder made his way to the lobby of the North Tower. "It looked like a bomb went off, and we started making our way up the stairs to rescue as many people as we could." As they were making there way up the floors, Firefighter Schroeder heard a huge explosion. "The elevators just blew right out. We couldn't believe it. The plane hits 80 floors up but the elevators explode at least five minutes later? It was unreal." Firefighter Schroeder made it all the way up to the 23rd floor before barely hearing on the failing radios that another plane was coming in. That plane would hit the South Tower though for some reason "We were tossed like a rag doll by another explosion in our building. People were making there way down the stairwells burnt like you couldn't believe. We were all shocked because it seemed as if there was fire everywhere, on so many floors. It just didn't make sense". The stairwells were black, and at that point, firefighters were making the decision to head back down stairs. In making there way down to the third floor, they were not able to find an exit. "The lobby was like a war zone. We could not find our way out. Then, all of a sudden, one of the maintenance workers had a key that opened a back door that got us out of there. He saved my life." That worker was Willie Rodriguez. "I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart. Firefighter Schroeder today has lost 40% of his lung capacity. "We haven't been treated properly at all. From the day of the attack, our physical and mental health has deteriorated and it seems as if no one cares. To lose friends, to have to recover their bodies in the days after, to be offered no protections against that horrific-smelling dust that was everywhere even though the government said the air was OK to breathe is just not right." Some of Firefighter's Schroeder's best friends have gotten out of the FDNY altogether while others accepted money and trips to help. "I stayed right here and did the right thing and now it feels as if I'm suffering the most. Where is our government to help the one's with the toughest jobs on that day and the days after?" John Schroeder, we want to thank you for being as brave as your job requires in speaking out about your experiences on Sept/ 11th. You have set the historical record straight by explaining your story. This Nation is forever greatful to you as your account will help to save and protect many more lives. Today, tens of thousands of such 9/11 first responders are in dire need of medical care due to the environmental conditions after the 3 towers imploded at Ground Zero. Diagnosed with cancers and debilitating respiratory illnesses, these true American heroes have been denied the financial benefits required to save their lives. While suffering and deteriorating, their health crisis has been ignored by state and federal policy. Many have already died. Composed of family members, friends and fellow Americans of individuals who perished on that fateful day, We are Change will fight to raise awareness and consciousness to the first responder's illnesses and hardships. We are determined to put a face to the thousands of forgotten victims of the 9/11 attacks 6 years later. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7471885217846396761
