Declaration of 9/11 Truth

This message was sent out on March 8th, 2007. It is public now since Jamison didn't respond substantially, in a timely manner; Did not respond at all to the substance of the agreement taken in an open, announced meeting.

____________________________________________________
( Alright this is the letter which I will send out to Les. If you do not agree with the statements below in any shape or form or wish to omit certain things please email me ASAP, please do not be tedious so we can send this ASAP. Please do not make this public and allow Les to respond to the email privately. We need to find a way to work with each other without dividing the group any further.)

On March 7^th, 2007 at Au Bon Gout (a Deli), 276 Fifth Avenue Corner of 30th Street, a public meeting was held to address the issue of the Bank Account and conflict resolution. Through a vote of 17-0, it was voted that Luke Rudkowski and Tom Foti should be added to the group bank account. Les has not provided flyers nor DVD’s the last two street actions at Ground Zero, therefore there needs to be more people on the bank account. Since Luke Rudkowski and Tom Foti are the most active members and need money for flyers and DVD’s, they need access to the bank account. Tom Foti and Luke Rudkowski were already voted on the bank account in previous meetings, Les undemocratically did not respect that vote.

It should be noted that Les Jamison was well aware of the meeting and did not attend because the meeting was public. He choose not to attend this meeting and make his voice heard nor did he answer any of Luke’s calls or other member’s phone calls regarding his vote or opinion.

The group agreed that all decisions should be made in a democratic process. Les currently has 100% control of the bank account, website and email list and the group agreed that this should not be. Instead the group decided that 25% of ownership of the bank account should be assigned to Les Jamison, Harvey Newmen, Luke Rudkowski and Tom Foti. The money currently in the bank account was raised by the hard work of all NY911TRUTH members and should not be controlled by any single individual who does not provided any documentation where the money is utilized.

Dividing the group is counter productive and against all that NY911TRUTH stands for. No One person shall make a decision to kick someone out due to personal conflicts, as it stands Luke Rudkowski and Tom Foti are still active members of NY911Truth. If any member wishes to dismiss any member we shall do it in a democratic process. We all need to sit down and come to a democratic resolution on these issues in a public open meetings.

Best Regards,

Active members of NY911TRUTH

Names...

P.S Les you have to 3/14/07 to respond to this matter, or else this will go public. We all need to work together in order to validate this movement. Your actions of ignoring NY911Truth members are childish and immature. Come on, Les if you really care about 9/11 Truth you would working with us and not against us.

The following is the only response from Les Jamison. He declared, unilaterally, the public meetings null and void:

Hello all,

This is my last communication on these matters.

Do you remember when we were all basking in the glow after the hugely successful 9/11 Truth Breakthrough Weekend? Do you remember the great experience, the respect and admiration we received from the larger movement, and hope we had going forward?

In the weeks afterward, an activist named Eric Safka from NJ who met us over the 5th anniversary began attending our meetings to see how he could contribute to the cause. Also, he was the one who let us know about drills going on at Bayview Oil Refinery where he works. He saw a lot of strange activities which many thought was a cause for alarm and should be looked into. Tom Foti was one of us who was in close contact with Eric as we monitored the situation.

Well, Eric and I spoke periodically since then. I just happened to return a phone call to him Sunday night. He asked me what has been going on with the NYC group, since he had seen some of the controversial emails, and I gave him an overview. As part of the story I included how Tom had conveyed to one of our members a desire to "take over the group". Well, you all should be very interested to know that now a second person has come forth stating the very same thing. Eric told me that Tom had told him that he wanted to find some way to take control of our group! Eric said he's willing to state this publicly at a meeting. I hope all of you ask "why was this Tom's intent?"

Why am I sharing this? Everyone should now consider that this happened in the weeks after our big anniversary events when we were proud of ourselves and working in tight cohesion. This is right after I worked closely with Tom, planning all the events, and helping him with his article in our publication, etc. Then what happened? While so many others locally and nationally were thrilled about the success of our events, here is more evidence that Tom was looking to take over the group. He was obviously working to defame me and create distrust because of my religious history using flimsy and unsubstantiated information as you should have seen in earlier emails from me. This all went on despite the fact that I had been completely focused working as a full time 9/11 truth activist since 2004, which is well known.

So take this however you will. We just hope you're objective and look at the facts here and consider the overall pattern of what has gone on from the fall till now and understand why recent decisions have had to be made. The choice has been made clear.

Lastly, as far as these meetings called by Luke & Tom, they are NOT NY 911 Truth meetings. NY 911 Truth cannot tolerate anyone who's actions are destructive and undermining. Anyone in alignment with this principle is welcome to participate with us. We have plenty of good work going on. Those who aren't, fine but try some other group. Just know that the attempt to destroy NY 911 Truth has been defeated.

Onward,
