Who knew that so early in our group’s efforts to bring 9/11 Truth to Columbus that tonight I would be writing this post. On the front page of today’s Columbus Dispatch Metro section there is the most wonderful article written about Sherry, the biggest catalyst in our local movement, in my opinion. Mike Harden interviewed her last week and was so gracious to include the article in the Sunday edition, which has a circulation of over 350,000. And he plugged the website. And this is all just in time for our big week of events surrounding the visit of Dr. Kevin Barrett.
Really, I can’t believe this blessing. I registered the website domain barely a month ago! To think that thousands of Columbus residents may read this article and see not only the connection to Iraq, but the genuine emotion behind this movement and how important it is to start TALKING about the TRUTH — I am without the right words. Mike Harden did such an amazing job telling Sherry’s story and how far she has progressed in just a few month’s time. Most importantly, the article tells what it’s really like to be part of this movement. One of Sherry’s quotes says it best:
“..it’s like throwing yourself on a grenade,
but it makes everything so clear.”
The protest in DC that I just returned from was probably considered a success to most who were there, but in all honesty the anti-war movement is treating one symptom of a much larger disease that most democrats/liberals/progressives can’t bear to acknowledge or accept. They think it’s bad, they think they know what’s wrong, but they have no idea. The success of the 9/11 Truth movement would pull the rug out from underneath both wars/occupations, the entire Bush Administration, all of their international and domestic policies that are plaguing this earth and all its people, and most importantly: bring justice to all that have died or suffered from this big lie. Every small step and every new person that joins us is important. It’s time to wake up Columbus.
Please take a minute to send Mike Harden an email thanking him for this wonderful contribution to the Columbus 9/11 Truth movement. We so badly need more journalists like him. It’s sad that a story like this would even be thought of as dangerous to print, but that’s the way it is these days. If others in the mainstream media decide to remember what journalism really means, the movement will spread like fire and the Truth will come out.
Okay enough of my commentary, here is the article:
9/11, Iraq cause some to question our leaders
Sunday, January 28, 2007
By Mike Harden
Sherry Clark arrived for breakfast with an armload of DVDs whose messages cast the shadow of skepticism over the official line on the 9/11 attack.
Through forkfuls of pancakes, the Delaware, Ohio, woman conjured up images of shrouded schemes and dark lurkings, government complicity and war-industry profiteering.
A lunchbox purse sported a get-the-truth out sticker. A lapel button noted that polite women seldom make history.
“I want to break the conspiracy of silence,” Clark said. “9/11 is the exclamation point to everything. Sept. 11 is the excuse for all of our civil-liberty compromises and the war.”
For a fleeting second, with the sun cresting on the eastern horizon, I thought I could hear the engine of Japanese pilot Mitsuo Fuchida’s B5N torpedo bomber as he banked toward Pearl Harbor’s Battleship Row.
In Dallas, the black presidential limo turned toward Dealey Plaza and the Texas School Book Depository as JFK drifted into the cross hairs of a rifle sight.
“I used to be one of those who supported the troops by putting a yellow magnet on my car and going shopping, just like the president suggested,” Clark said.
“I voted for Bush both times.
“I used to have total faith in my government, but that candle has gone out. I used to have a candle of optimism, but that’s gone.”
She is years removed from the beauty pageants she said she once entered to help pay her way through college.
She pleads guilty to singing Lee Greenwood’s God Bless the U.S.A. to soften up contest judges.
Her transformation into a 9/11 skeptic was swift and stunning.

I’ve gotta say, so far so good! I suppose this is a great example of why it’s a good thing to keep low expectations, you will get nothing but nice surprises.
