Hoo, boy -- here come the truth fetishists. They’re still groping away at that mirage in the distance where we all get to know what actually happened on 9/11, who was behind it, and how to claim the tragedy for political means in order to replace one lame duck for another in that most outmoded of positions, "American president". The Boston Tea Party is slated to become another terribly misused reference to successful protest in this, its 234th anniversary, as activists try to gather angry Americans not sold on the media's representation of the World Trade Center bombings at both Bostonian and San Franciscan docks. Attendants are asked to dress in colonial attire—preferably from the late 18th Century (leave the pith helmet at home, Grandpa)—and to bring fifes and drums, presumably for their distracting novelty value.
Not exactly recycling, but ....
"Proclamations" will be made denouncing such garbage as the 9/11 Commission Report, PATRIOT Act, Military Commissions Act, and just the broad, general notion of all-around tyranny. "Genuine" investigation, accountability and impeachment will be called for. The final act of protest will be a mass dumping of cardboard and bleached paper—a series of large, corny replicas of the actual published work being protested—into that precious natural resource: the San Francisco Bay. At least they could make ash of the boxes first, like they’re doing in Milwaukee, and in a slightly more tasteful and harmless move stick to dumping spent carbon instead.
Yes, let's all wheel a bunch of junk effigies down to the bay and dump them in the water in a game of dress-up, all on the basis that errors can be found in each account given on the attacks, which isn’t exactly the most surprising turn of events since the trial in Rashomon.
Logically, it follows that a conspiracy is afoot, and that until solid proof arises that there isn't one, there must be one…a conclusion that perhaps exposes a perverse misunderstanding of power. Not that 9/11 was a clear situation. Clear as mud, in fact. But you gotta pick your battles if you want to make a splash. Check out the YouTube video of these guys marching to the book toss if for no other reason than to bask in their self-righteousness, as Bowie’s “Heroes” plays in the background the whole time like a desperate optimistic thrust for their patriotic self-image.
Not that many of the attendees will have pored over the document’s words long enough to have fact-checked for themselves. Hell, bring all your trash down; we'll burn the leftovers into the atmosphere in a grand fuck-you to seagulls and pigeons, who just won't stop shitting on our cars! With any luck misdirected attendees of the Tea Bagging Party at Pier 38 will stop by to roast some weenies.

Yes, it is silly to dress up in colonial dress to rant about tyranny and the murder of 3000+ citizens in NYC, not to mention the immoral war where some million Iraqis would be walking today had we not occupied the country over some black goo. But we still have the tyranny, murder, and greed to contend with day after day, and we are doing what we can to say "no more!". What in hell are you (Benedict) doing to stop this nightmare? As for "9/11 mud"- look at the dust you snarky fool!

Anyone still clinging to the official story of 9/11 should probably get checked for either ADD or some sort of testicular deficiency. You really have to be asleep at the wheel to not notice by now the glaring inconsistencies, omissions, and distortions in the 9/11 Commission Report. Or perhaps you do subconsciously suspect the truth, but are too frightened by it to allow yourself its rational consideration. It's the information age folks, and it's time to grow up. False flag terrorism has been an instrument of statecraft since time immemorial, and only We The People can put an end to it by holding Power accountable.
