I was inspired to make this after reading this report today.

My sincerest condolences to the Quibell family. I haven’t held a fund-raiser for the responders in quite a while. Mostly what I’ve done is convince others that their efforts should include fund-raising for the first responders. Mark Peters told me the other day that he makes an effort every month to at least send something to the FealGood Foundation. That sounds like an excellent idea, and one that everyone should try to do. - Jon

Racked by pain and the ravages of leukemia, first responder Gregory Quibell of North Babylon allowed film crews to record poignant moments of his life.

For weeks, his visits to doctors and his struggles to pay medical bills were captured for a documentary called “Save the Brave,” which premiered last night at the Bellmore Theatre in Bellmore.

The film’s opening is dedicated to Quibell, 53, who died Wednesday night at his home, friends said. The film features three other first responders living with Sept. 11-related illnesses.

Recently, Mike Berger from 911Truth.org was interviewed by the “Conscience of Kansas” Conservative Paul Ibbetson. During the interview, Mike mentioned the alleged bribery of the 9/11 Commission by Pakistan to omit any incriminating information about them. I figured a lot of people weren’t familiar with this story, so I was inspired to write this “recap.”

As 9/11 Family Member, and “Jersey Girl” Patty Casazza said, “one of the reasons why we still continued to fight with… for the Commission, even as we knew it was a farce, is we wanted their words, their lies down on paper.”

As most of you know, I have never been a huge advocate for the idea that a “Controlled Demolition” took place at the World Trade Center. Reason being, I’m simply not qualified to tell someone if that did, in fact, happen. Also, for years, the media has tried to paint us as a movement filled with “conspiracy theorists” that think “explosives brought down the World Trade Center”, and a “missile hit the Pentagon” without mentioning the 1000’s of other problems with the official account. As a result, I can’t tell you how many times during activism I’ve had people come up to me and say, “you’re one of those people that think explosives brought down the buildings” as if to say, “you’re one of those crazy people that I should ignore.” So, I’ve always tried to push other incriminating information that the media and others DON’T like to talk about.

Analysis by Gareth Porter*

WASHINGTON, Aug 19 (IPS) - Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf’s resignation Monday brings to an end an extraordinarily close relationship between Musharraf and the George W. Bush administration, in which Musharraf was lavished with political and economic benefits from the United States despite policies that were in sharp conflict with U.S. security interests.

It is well known that Bush repeatedly praised Musharraf as the most loyal ally of the United States against terrorism, even though the Pakistani military was deeply compromised by its relationship with the Taliban and Pakistani Islamic militants.
