New 911 Commission
CALL FOR A NEW 911 HEARING
There is no statute of limitation for homicide. On September 11, 2001 almost 3,000 American were murdered. 679 of them were citizens of New Jersey. The Twin Towers were owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Two of the air planes flew out of the Newark, New Jersey air port. The anthrax attacks were in Hamilton, New Jersey. New Jersey has a significant nexus to this event.
The Bush administration was big to move off the internal matter of investigating. Chris Christie, the then new United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey did nothing. Instead of an investigation, the citizens received the Patriot Act, as if they did something wrong, which curtailed freedoms in a world that was seemingly becoming scarier to live in. 19 terrorist were identified within two days, as the alleged suspects, but there has been no prove forthcoming to establish that fact. 9 of these alleged assassins and hijackers are presently alive and well it has been reported; so they were not in the doomed air planes. If not them, then who.
Without a doubt, what happened was sensational, horrific to the nth degree. The event struck the Nation’s psyche to the core. America’s soul was pierced and bled. There was mental damage. The country was traumatized and in shock. It was vulnerable; and could easily be taken advantage of by being repositioned and redirected.
Now, there will be folks yelling that things are all right, don’t revisit what has been settled; don’t stir things up now that they have quieted down; don’t espouse conspiracy theory etc.
My response is this: Let us learn the facts. Because if you desire to know the facts as best they can be ascertained you will not doubt the need for a new investigation. You will demand it. America was attacked at its inner core. Those who are responsible for that crime are enemies of each one of us. We should do all that we can to bring light on the matter and allow truth to prevail.; no matter how painful it may be to review the events once more…and no matter how upsetting it may be to follow the evidence back to the source from where it originated. That means doing an investigation that is objective, thorough and complete. Our former Governor and co-chairman of the 911 Commission, Tom Kean, himself stated that the investigation was set up to fail, as it was under funded and had no subpoena power.
If elected, I will give the New Commission some muscle.
Today we are fighting two Wars in the Middle East because of 911. There is oil and the biggest supply of world opium,… but there are no weapons of mass destruction.
Let us look at 911 closer this time, second time through. There are a myriad of happenings that need to be explained that were not. There are so many statements contrary to the “official story”… which could lead one to a view that certain factions of government have not been forthright with its citizens…and even worse……

Meiswinkle Calls for New 9/11 Commission
Independent candidate for New Jersey Governor, David Meiswinkle has called for the creation of a new commission to investigate the circumstances involving the September 11, 2001 catastrophe.
“Nearly 700 New Jersey residents died on that awful day, and an unknown number have since died or grown ill from exposure to contamination at the World Trade Center. These people and their families deserve the truth,” said Meiswinkle, who is running on the Middle Class Empowerment slate with Noelani Musicaro for Lt. Governor.
Citing the failures of The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, also known as the 9/11 Commission, Meiswinkle said, “We need a well-financed, professionally staffed, fully independent and objective commission with all the necessary resources and subpoena power to get at the truth.
“It’s no secret that the Bush administration opposed the first 9/11 Commission, then they underfunded it, and then they placed an unreasonable 3-month deadline to complete its task. Even its co-chairs, Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton said the original commission was ‘set up for failure’.”
“We need a new commission with the muscle and determination to get the job done right.”
The 9/11 Commission completed its work and released a report in August 2004. The report concluded that the 9/11 attacks could have been prevented and issued lengthy recommendations for institutional change. The commission and its conclusions have come under extensive criticism, even from its own commissioners.
Meiswinkle, who is an attorney and a retired 23-year police officer, has accused the Bush administration of actively trying to cover up the events leading to the 9/11 disaster.
“This is the greatest failure to defend our country from attack in our nation’s history. There were many warnings but they were not heeded. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfield had every reason to cover up their failures. The original 9/11 commissioners believed that the CIA, Pentagon, FAA, and NORAD representatives were deliberately deceiving them. They even wanted to refer criminal prosecution to the justice department.”
In August 2006, Kean and Hamilton published a book titled Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 9/11 Commission. In it, they stated that the 9/11 Commission was "set up to fail," and that the commission was so frustrated with repeated misstatements by government officials that they considered referring obstruction of justice charges to the Justice Department.
Meiswinkle believes issues concerning the 9/11 investigation have a direct bearing on the campaign for New Jersey governor. “Chris Christie is basing his campaign as a corruption fighter. But recent revelations about Christie’s political ties to Karl Rove and the White House raises suspicion as to why he was chosen to be U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey.
“The collusion extends to the selection of Christopher Christie as the top Justice Department official for the state,” Meiswinkle asserted. “Bush nominated Christie for the position only three months after 9/11. Yet, Christie never bothered to use the powers of his federal office to investigate the greatest crime in history. He betrayed New Jerseyans who died in that holocaust.
“Christie got his nomination solely because he was the biggest New Jersey fund raiser for Bush — he had no criminal law expertise. Christie’s previous experience was as a lobbyist, County Freeholder, and an attorney. Clearly, Christie was put in place as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey as a political favor and to squash any federal investigation of 9/11.”
If elected, Meiswinkle would empower a new 9/11 commission headed by the New Jersey Attorney General and would call upon President Obama to compel the Justice Department to investigate charges presented by the original 9/11 commission.
