NBC News & Boston Herald Break Ranks: A rare and unexpected headline on page 1 of the Herald on newsstands Saturday: “9/11 families to Biden: Back us, or back off.” The president is pictured in an inset head-and-shoulders photo wearing his aviator sunglasses. To the left the Statue of Liberty holds her torch aloft at night amid a bit of sparkling Manhattan skyline. At the bottom of the page: “STAY AWAY!”
Herald executive editor Joe Dwinell’s story inside is subheaded “Group wants prez to skip anniversary unless docs are released by govt.”
Sixteen hundred or more survivors of those killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks apparently say the nation’s chief executive is unwelcome at World Trade Center ceremonies 20 years later if he doesn’t use the powers of his office to reveal suspected Saudi government involvement.
NBC News broke the story, HERE, in a report Friday by Pentagon correspondent Courtney Kube, and Dwinell hopped on it. She said family members, first responders and survivors released a statement earlier in the day.
Dwinell reported that U.S. Senators Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., Thursday asked the Biden administration to “finally expose Saudi connections to 9/11 hijackers” (as that editor worded it).
No mention yet of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth and the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry, which have worked for years in the shadows of a mainstream media blackout. Or of the U.S. Senate’s resolution (S. Res, 610) nearly three years ago calling for declassification of “all documents related to the events of September 11, 2001.” Click HERE for more on that resolution, which has been reported by no mainstream media organization.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki Remembered: Friday, Aug. 6, marked 76 years since the first use of the atomic bomb in war, followed three days later by the second. The Truman administration justified the bombings as the best way to end World War II. Kevin Barrett of No Lies Radio’s Truth Jihad Show spoke with Edward Curtin about them and a host of related subjects. Get to the interview and comments about it HERE. It is titled “The Satanic Nature of the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.”
The wide-ranging interview comes about three years after Curtin’s similarly titled essay “The Satanic Nature of the Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.” One of 47 in his 2020 book Seeking Truth in a Country of Lies, it is worth re-reading as the world commemorates the two bombings.

‘Good Power’: That’s the label on Richard Rohr’s thoughts for today, HERE, on the website of the Center for Action and Contemplation. I got to them after listening to the Curtin-Barrett talk. The theme of this week’s CAC thoughts, “Good and Bad Power,” fits in with Curtin’s on the same.
