Report on Attempt to attend Les Jamison event at St. Mark's NYC, April 1, 2007

This is not good.

I Luke Rudkowski feel a bit guilty for playing into the hands of individuals who seek endless in-fighting and e-mail debates instead of fighting for 9-11 truth. I hope people do understand that Les Jamison’s actions have left me with few options other than simply making my case publicly.

On Sunday, April 1, 2007, I attended an event at St. Mark’s Church with my friend Ralph Shoenman, who was a speaker at the event. Before I tried to walk in, there were three security guards waiting for me outside to deny my entrance. They even became physical by putting their hands on me. I cannot fathom why this was happening. For the past two years I have done events at St. Mark’s Church and during those two years I have never done anything wrong or inappropriate or given them any reason to deny me access to this public church. When I questioned why I was being denied entrance, they simply ignored me and called the NYPD to obviously have me physically removed from the premises. It should be noted that the NYPD came, became annoyed and left.

After this altercation, I saw Les Jamison standing outside, so I tried to approach him and talk to him, in which this was the first time in two months. He ran back into St. Mark’s Church and locked the door. Later on, I saw Frank Morales and I asked him what was the reason for me getting disrespected in front of a public church. He merely just shunned me away and walked in the church and locked the doors. These actions show how far people will go out of their way to not have a rational conversation to deal with this situation.

It’s really gotten to me that for the last 6 weeks I’ve been taking money out my own pockets for flyers and DVD’s after Les confiscated the group bank account and all the assets. He'’s literally tried stopping the actions at ground zero.

And while I can accept taking money out my pockets to support this cause, but I will not stand for being slandered and mistreated. There’'s really much more to the side of the story than most know. If anyone has something against me because of something Les said, please talk to me first before you go on and believe it.

I’ve gone out of my way to communicate with Les Jamison to resolve this. I’ve called him. I’ve tried e-mailing him, but no response for weeks. He no longer has the support from NY911Truth activist’s and does not represent the group in any way shape or form. His actions speak for themselves and only hurt the movement.

Response to Les' Letter -
Les,

Your letter is interesting, since it is extremely vague and doesn’t name anyone by name. I was actually quite confused reading it.

1. Les, you were never elected or nominated for “”leader” of this group. Tom and I do far more work in terms of organization and promotion than you do. And you’ve even said so yourself.

2. I hope people understand that you hand picked your own steering committee without any input from the group. No one had knowledge of this, and while you were calling secret meetings I was calling for open forum meetings with rotating moderators. NY911Truth steering committee meetings were and will always be open and democratic meetings.

3. The letter I wrote had hard copy signatures that all came from public NY911Truth meetings and NY911truth street actions, while Les called individuals all over the nation and asked for signatures without even letting some people understand the situation or read the letter they were "signing" over the phone. This is not the Les Jamison fan club, where all donations go to a bank account which Les has 100% control of, where one individual controls all aspects of the organization and holds it at his mercy when he disagrees with someone.

Your actions speak for themselves and represent a desperate reach for power and money.

As I’ve said before, I have nothing to hide and only want to see this movement achieve great successes. But that will not happen with someone acting as overlord or puppet master.

I am asking Les ONE MORE TIME to meet with myself and Sander Hicks so we move past this. This is easily solvable, if you would simply show an interest in open dialogue and communication.

Peace and Respect,

Luke
