THE FALLING MAN OF 9/11 CRIES OUT FOR JUSTICE: Dov Zakhiem, you Son of a bitch here came a moment as they clung to those windows high above the streets of New York, with the unbearable heat and smoke drawing near ~ that they chose to jump, versus burn to death, and in that moment of complete surrender they became graceful sacred angels returning to source ~ but they are now crying out for justice : Allen L Roland I watched again last night the brilliant and moving (70 minute) video THE FALLING MAN which has not been released in the U.S. and which can be seen by clicking on http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article17405.htm . Very little has been written about the over 200 people who jumped to their deaths from the World Trade Towers on 9/11 and instead the press has stressed the heroism and patriotism of the time ~ but I maintain that the jumpers were also heroes. For there came a moment as they clung to those windows high above the streets of New York, with the unbearable heat and smoke drawing near ~ that they chose to jump, versus burn to death, and in that moment of complete surrender they became graceful sacred angels returning to source. The mainstream press purposely covered up and air brushed from our view many photos of those jumpers of 9/11 in order to concentrate on the heroism and patriotism of that day. But now the falling angels are crying out for justice but it's no longer an externalized justice against Bin Laden but an internalized justice against the Cheney/Bush administration who have and continue to use 9/11 as a justification for their immediate and continual abuses of power ~ while they may very well have condoned, facilitated if not expedited the attack itself. Tom Junod, who is featured in this video, wrote an extraordinary piece for Eqsuire in September 2003 on "The Falling Man," offering several possibilities of who was the falling man. His piece ended with this very moving story about Jonathan Briley ~ who is very likely the falling man of 9/11. As such, the human face of 9/11 is Jonathan Briley ~ the falling man of 9/11 ~ who is a constant reminder of man's inhumanity to man and who now cries out for the real truth behind this evil atrocity. Full length video Not yet released in the U.S.

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.Justice is on the way..
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”—Samuel Adams
