"Maher 9/11 Truth Infiltration: Cops Arrived And Ordered We Are Change Activists Be Released; LAPD confused, admitted activists had done nothing wrong" by Steve Watson Infowars.net Monday, Oct 22, 2007
Alex Jones was joined on air yesterday by We Are Change LA 9/11 truth activists Katie Kurtzman Bruno Bruhwiler to discuss their infiltration of Bill Maher's HBO show last Friday night.
The two activists, along with seven others, managed to get into Real Time with Bill Maher, at CBS studios with signs and banners, as well as 9/11 "truth dollars" advertising activist websites.
Maher was talking science during a round table panel discussion when the first protester named Randy stood up, held up his smuggled-in sign reading ‘9/11 is a cover up fraud’ and shouted comments to the same effect.
Protests have been ongoing outside CBS studios for the last few weeks after Maher took a digg at 9/11 truthers in a segment on his show entitled "New Rules".
“Crazy people who still think the government brought down the Twin Towers in a controlled explosion have to stop pretending that I’m the one who’s being naive,” Maher stated. “How big a lunatic do you have to be to watch two giant airliners packed with jet fuel slam into buildings on live TV, igniting a massive inferno that burned for two hours, and then think ‘Well, if you believe that was the cause…’ Stop asking me to raise this ridiculous topic on the show and start asking your doctor if Paxil is right for you.”
However the infiltration of Maher's audience by the LA group made certain that nationwide attention was cast onto the issue as live TV was brought to a stand still.
The group also maximized their time by cleverly spreading themselves around the audience so when one activist was seized and removed, another would stand up and begin protesting.
Watch video of the incident:
Speaking on the Alex Jones show yesterday Katie Kurtzman described the experience as "empowering".
"Definitely, I was a little afraid when I got into the room but when I was doing it I felt no fear at all." Kurtzman commented.
Bruno Bruhwiler described the moment that his fellow member of We Are Change LA was thrown to the ground, roughed up and hauled out by security:
"Randy got quite a few statements in and he was nervous and he admits that but he was really powerful and he broke the ice for the rest of us for sure.
"As they were dragging him out, they had five to eight people grabbing him and dragging him out, they handcuffed him and took him up to a room and put him face down on the floor
"The police arrived and said 'take those handcuffs off' and then they asked what happened and Randy said 'there was a comedian on stage and I heckled him' and the police agreed he had done nothing wrong"
Listen to the entire interview from yesterday's show here.
Bruhwiler and Kurtzman were previously involved in the creation of a short youtube clip to counter Maher's comments.
"New rule: buildings do not collapse into the path of most resistance at anything close to freefall speed," Kurtzman counters on video, referring to claims by some that only a controlled demolition would allow for such a fast collapse by the Twin Towers. "Go back to kindergarten and play with blocks until you figure that out," she tells Maher, aping the host's finger-wagging delivery.
Kurtzman also raised questions about the collapse of the World Trade Center's building seven, which fell despite not being struck by a plane.
"Two airplanes can't slam into two buildings and knock down three," she says, punctuating the point by flipping Maher off.
Watch the entire clip:
The clip immediately went viral, however the latest action from the CBS studios has now been viewed by over ten times more people and shot to the number one viewed video on youtube over the weekend with hundreds of thousands of views.
"It was upsetting because he was dissing the 9/11 Truthers, but he wasn't having any on his show," Bruhwiler commented. "Which is odd, because it's a debate show."
Maher's attempts to denigrate the issue of 9/11 truth and demonize activists, many of whom are supported by firefighters and first responders, has most certainly backfired. How ironic that in his vitriolic announcement that the issue should be dropped Maher has succeeded in fixing a more intense spotlight onto 9/11 truth.

"The Bill Maher Real Time Meltdown – Comments from a Long Time Bill Maher Fan" by Bill Douglas
Bill Maher has been the white shining knight for the anti-war movement for years now, when he was canned from network TV, and eventually found a place on HBO. He's weekly insulted viciously those on the right who disagreed with him. I personally actually was a fan of Bill's standup long before, back when he was the fashion photographer on an episode of Roseanne.
About a year ago, a right wing pundit was on Real Time, and made a statement that actually resonated with me. I remember it so well, because I rarely agree with right wing pundits. He made the point that when Bill Maher caustically insults those who have a spiritual faith, and makes fun of all people living in the heartland of America . . . he drives people away from opening their minds to the issues he purports to care about.
This got the wheels turning back to the 60's and early 70's when it was discovered that the FBI had planted hippy-looking undercover agents to kick the cops in the shins, and urge otherwise peaceful normal protesters to violent actions. The goal – to discredit the anti-war movement by turning Americans against the protesters.
William Colby, a former Director of the CIA once revealed, "The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media." Remember, before you roll your eyes and think "conspiracy theory," that it was a former Director of the CIA who said that, not a mumbling homeless person.
That would like make his statement a FACT, rather than a theory. On this week's "Real Time," when 9/11 truth activists stood up to shout questions about the mysterious collapse of World Trade Center 7 on 9/11, Bill Maher had an emotional meltdown and a Gestapo-moment, when he urged his security to "kick their ass," including kicking the ass of a woman who stood and said that Maher's action against a man who was only asking questions was cowardice. In fact, Maher seemed to want to physically participate in kicking the woman's ass.
The scene was bizarre as Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee sat placidly watching her host demanding a physical beating for people asking questions, and she only said, "I won't mention the 1st amendment." It was an eerie echo of when we all watched John Kerry a few weeks ago, going on with his speech, as a questioner was mercilessly tasered in front of him . . . for asking questions.
This Bill Maher twilight zone episode only got weirder, when Chris Matthews, with a feigned childlike innocence inquired, gee whiz "what issue are they raising?"
I have personally emailed Chris Matthews massive information regarding questions around 9/11 and the collapse of the WTC's. Friends of mine have passed him packets at public appearances. Thousands, if not tens of thousands, of other people have emailed his show with information on physicist Steven Jones, David Ray Griffin, and Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, research that causes rational people to wonder "why did WTC Building 7 come down?"
In other words, MSNBC's Chris Matthews feigned innocence of not understanding what all the fuss is about . . . was a lie. He was lying to you, when he put on that act.
[Just like he LIES to YOU EVERY NIGHT, readers!!!!]
Now, back to Bill Maher's bizarre Gestapo moment on his show. If Bill disbelieves those who feel that 9/11 has not been fully investigated, and that the official story defies physics, he could simply have them on his show and debate them.
I mean he does allow rightwing Christian pundits on, and he treats them personally with a modicum of respect, even while caustically attacking the millions they represent. He could have done the same with 9/11 truth.
But, he didn't. What he did was act like a fascist, by threatening bodily harm and being seemingly eager to participate in it . . . and why? Because someone wanted to know why a 47 story building mysteriously collapsed on 9/11/2001 in a way that has never been explained in a rational way.
Nearly 200 professional architects and engineers, at "Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth" ae911Ttuth.org, have begun demanding answers. Men and women who've courageously put their careers on the line for truth. They've joined many high level military and intelligence experts who now are convinced that the official 9/11 myth was a lie, and have been quoted at PatriotsQuestion911.org.
One must wonder, why Bill Maher doesn't interview any of the below people he calls "nutcases", and challenge them on their facts. If they are so insane, Bill should be able to take them apart, and make a fun show out of doing so.

Speech at Sonoma State University 4/20/07: "Another 2006 poll by Scripps Howard, Ohio University, which found that a shocking 16% believe that the World Trade Center's Twin Towers were brought down by explosives. Unfortunately, my research has also concluded that this is true. Tonight I will present to you the very clear evidence that all three World Trade Center high-rise buildings, the Twin Towers and Building 7 were destroyed not by fire as our government has told us, but by controlled demolition with explosives."

Letter to American Institute of Architects 11/26/06: "The primary duty of registered professionals is to protect the public safety. Professionals' intelligence, knowledge and experience provide a delicate connection between science and fact. ...
9-11 was a tragic event for our country, quickly "solved" by our government and propagated by our media, leading our country into fear, anguish, anger, war and unrestrained spending.
Have we, as building professionals, been hoodwinked? Who should better understand the collapse of the World Trade Towers than those in our profession, possibly with the consultation of demolition experts?
As I and millions have reviewed the events of that day, it seems much of the cover story is not true and impossible. As the nation is confused on the reality of that day, have we been making bad decisions ever since?
My web site collects salient information that isolates the demise of the World Trade Towers – linking many experienced, dedicated and articulate technical analysis that show clearly that the World Trade Towers were destroyed by internal explosives and not "fires from the airlines". ...
After hundreds of hours of research, and thousands of dollars purchasing materials and information, this letter outlines my most salient, articulate examples of things that architects should investigate. If I err slightly in any single item, that does not discount this letter. On the contrary, even if only part of these accusations are true, they should be investigated."

Article 7/10/06: "The former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under the Reagan Administration and a highly decorated Vietnam veteran and Colonel has gone on the record to voice his doubts about the official story of 9/11 - calling it 'the dog that doesn't hunt.' 'I'm astounded that the conspiracy theory advanced by the administration could in fact be true and the evidence does not seem to suggest that's accurate,' he said."

Video 9/11/04: "A lot of these pieces of information, taken together, prove that the official story, the official conspiracy theory of 9/11 is a bunch of hogwash. It's impossible. ... There's a second group of facts having to do with the cover up. ... Taken together these things prove that high levels of our government don't want us to know what happened and who's responsible....
Who gained from 9/11? Who covered up crucial information about 9/11? And who put out the patently false stories about 9/11 in the first place? When you take those three things together, I think the case is pretty clear that it's highly placed individuals in the administration with all roads passing through Dick Cheney.
I think the very kindest thing that we can say about George W. Bush and all the people in the U.S. Government that have been involved in this massive cover-up, the very kindest thing we can say is that they were aware of impending attacks and let them happen. Now some people will say that's much too kind, however even that is high treason and conspiracy to commit murder."

William Rodriguez – WTC survivor. An American Building Maintenance employee for twenty years, responsible for inspection and maintenance at the World Trade Center, who held the master key for the stairs. He was the last person to leave the building on September 11 and has been credited with saving many lives. For his efforts, he received the National Hero Award from the Senate of Puerto Rico. Founder, Hispanic Victims Group.
Article 6/24/05: Regarding an explosion in the sub-basement of the World Trade Center North Tower on 9/11, prior to any airplane impact. "When I heard the sound of the explosion, the floor beneath my feet vibrated, the walls started cracking and it everything started shaking," said Rodriguez, who was huddled together with at least 14 other people in the office. ... [Editor's note: At this point, Mr. Rodriguez was in sub-basement B1 of the North Tower, approximately 1,100 feet below the airplane's impact point at floors 93 to 98.]
"Seconds after the first massive explosion below in the basement still rattled the floor, I hear another explosion from way above," said Rodriguez. "Although I was unaware at the time, this was the airplane hitting the tower, it occurred moments after the first explosion."
But before Rodriguez had time to think, co-worker Felipe David stormed into the basement office with severe burns on his face and arms, screaming for help and yelling "explosion! explosion! explosion!"
David had been in front of a nearby freight elevator on sub-level 1 about 400 feet from the office when fire burst out of the elevator shaft, causing his injuries.
"He was burned terribly," said Rodriguez. "The skin was hanging off his hands and arms. His injuries couldn't have come from the airplane above, but only from a massive explosion below. I don't care what the government says, what scientists say. I saw a man burned terribly from a fire that was caused from an explosion below.
"I know there were explosives placed below the trade center. I helped a man to safety who is living proof, living proof the government story is a lie and a cover-up. ...
"I disagree 100%with the government story," said Rodriguez. "I met with the 9/11 Commission behind closed doors and they essentially discounted everything I said regarding the use of explosives to bring down the north tower.
"And I contacted NIST previously four times without a response. Finally, this week I asked them before they came up with their conclusion that jet fuel brought down the towers, if they ever considered my statements or the statements of any of the other survivors who heard the explosions. They just stared at me with blank faces and didn't have any answers."

Bob McIlvaine – Father of Robert McIlvaine, Assistant Vice President, Merrill Lynch, WTC North Tower, 106th floor. Former school teacher.
Interview by Evan Solomon, CBC News 8/30/06:
Bob McIlvaine: I believe 100% that the U.S. orchestrated 9/11 with the help of other agencies around the world. But my blame goes to the United States because it happened in the U.S. There's people within the U.S. that knew it happened, that planned this to happen. ...
Evan Solomon: You believe there are people inside the U.S. at high levels of government that were involved in orchestrating 9/11?
Bob McIlvaine: Absolutely. I'm 100% sure.
Evan Solomon: Not just let something happen, not just let their guard down but were part of the planning?
Bob McIlvaine: No. Part of the planning.
Evan Solomon: You think your son was therefore murdered by Americans?
Bob McIlvaine: Absolutely. ...
Evan Solomon: Do you want another investigation?
Bob McIlvaine: Of course I want another investigation.
Why is this an important issue to them? Because America was turned upside down on 9/11. After 9/11 we became a "torture state," "a militarist state," "a state that unleashed a massive network to spy on its own citizens," and a "warring state," attacking nations that had not even attacked us, and taking over their oil.
When war and conquest occur in our name, it is incumbent upon us to know that the reason for it occurring is correct and true. The entire and profound future of America and everything it stands for turned on the events of 9/11.
Why did WTC 7 fall?
If it was a controlled demolition, then we need to know how WTC security could have allowed those charges to be set. We have to question the people in charge of Securecom, the WTC security company.
We need to question people at the top of that company who sat on its board, people like GW Bush's brother, and GW Bush's cousin. We need to ask them why the bomb sniffing dogs were called off in the days before 9/11.
The future of a nation and world ride on knowing the truth. Or we could follow Bill Maher's manic advice to drag out and kick the ass of anyone who questions 9/11.
Personally, I can't stomach watching Bill Maher any more.
It's not because of Bill Maher, but it's because of the people sitting in his audience who cheered on the ass kicking of people asking important questions. These people worshipped Bill Maher, whereas I worship the truth, and when Bill Maher was producing some, I liked watching him.
When Bill Maher suppresses truth, he loses his appeal. Its about truth. I'm beginning to understand why the right fears the "left," if their concerns and positions are going to be handled with such fascist fervor.
On a social level, I agree with Bill Maher and his audiences positions on gay rights, anti-war, environment, etc. But, I can't stomach watching them, now that I've seen they can be just as hob-nail-booted as the right they despise. It was a sad day for the left in America.
As I said, I'm a fan of truth. I don't worship media personalities. I outgrew that when I saw Blue Oyster Cult in business suits before a concert when I was 16 years old. Bill Maher's audience is much older, but they seem to have never understood that the persona projected by someone like Maher is just that. People let him have the mic, perhaps with agreements and limits of discussion pre-arranged and mutually agreed to.
The future of our nation is not a team sport, and when we are split by "Democrats vs. Republicans" so visciously we all lose. This dual paradigm keeps us arguing over "flag burning" and side issues, while our nation is led to war based on a 9/11 myth that has never been proven, only stated over and over and over again by corporate media.
Although the good book is one those on the right often abuse and misuse to promote division and hatred, its still a pretty good book if you look at what Jesus had to say,
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them." -- Jesus; Matthew 7:15-20
When Bill Maher stridently marched down the aisle on his HBO show, urging security to "kick the ass" of both men and women, who's only crime was to demand answers to questions we should all be asking, I think we caught a glimpse of his fruits. When we saw his audience of the so-called left acting like brown-shirts, we should all take pause in our acceptance of the right/left paradigm corporate media has cultivated like a garden.
We, conservative, liberal, black, white, rich, poor, are all Americans. We are all being denied some important truth regarding 9/11. It is being denied just as viciously by too much of the so called left media, as it is by FOX News, and their radio minions. Truth and the search for it, rises above politics. The truth about 9/11 is something we all need equally, if our nation is going to progress based on a firm foundation. If we go forward based on a foundation of lies, everything we do in the future will turn to rot. It is the nature of the universe."
