When: Sunday Afternoon 2PM to 4PM, Sept. 9, 2007

Where: Bowery Poetry Club 308 Bowery, between Houston and Bleecker

What: VJ showing of the most influential, convincing, artistic and perfect of the new cross-over electronic medium genre, the "9/11 Video Mash-up."

Suggested Donation $10. Inquire at info@nyc911truth.org for advanced tickets.


"9/11 Video Mash-ups" as featured on YouTube, LiveVideo, and also on other, less popular portals like Metacafe and LiveLeak were pioneered by notorious and legendary 9/11 activist, researcher and Downtown (East Village) Artist, Nico Haupt. 

Since first introducing the concept in the Fall of 2006 the genre has expanded to include the work of over 20 prominent activist-researcher-artists from around the World, working most of them, pseudonymously.

VJ Peggy Carter will introduce the main streams within the genre, accompanied by spoken word narration and some lyric, as well as introduce the newest form, pioneered by "John Connors" aka Mark Dice of the Resistence Manifesto.  Dice's concept was furthered by the young activsts at WeAreChange, .

Among the most prominent of these activists are Luke Rudkowski and Matt Lapacek of Brooklyn, who have received millions of hits for their "hecklivism" clips.

In these clips
Z. Brzezinski,
Rudolph Guiliani,
David Rockefeller,
John McCain,
John Edwards, Hillary Clinton 
and most recently Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House are confronted, video recorded, and the record of the confrontation published on-line. These new genre cuts the social acceptance of art for the rich and the acceptable trend setters establishing its own raison d'etre. The form blends physical morality, bravery, commitment, community awareness, information propagation, stunt work, feat, with an attempt to compete with the Mass Communication Methods, that are known and proven to rule the life of the Body Politic.

Context will be provided in Liner Notes/ Catalog.

Ironically, the New York Post's ultra-right wing columnist, not known for her accuracy, nor for her even-temperedness, Andrea Peyser, wrote a libelous column stating that Nico Haupt, the originator of this concept art, was harassing 9/11 Widow Ellen Mariani, "9/11 Skeptics' Lunatic Fringe Target Victim's Widow", whose welfare provides the focus for our evening of art. This "reporting" was a blatant fabrication, completely untrue, on the part of NYPost New's darling and Right-wing pit girl, Peyser. Ellen Mariani is aware of our efforts and grateful for them.

City Moves To Ban Film and Photography


What Have We Become? An Iron Curtain Country? No Photography on the Street?


Come Protest The Destruction of our Ability to Challenge our Officials and Obtain our Own Evidence, through the use of Photography on the Street

What ever could be the reason for this ban?!




Challenging The Film/Photography Ban In New York City



This Thursday coming(August 2nd), we will be arriving at about 4:30 pm at City Hall, to challenge the Mayor Bloomberg-enduced ban on filming and photography in New York City. We'll be meeting with various individuals across the city at this convergence spot to protest the ban, including filming the event.

The banning opens up the possibility that any non-insured still photographer/filmer, and most specifically team thereof, will be targeted. The ban calls for a requirement of a 1 million dollar liability insurance policy in addition to a permit, for various photography and filming actions that occur for more then 10 minutes. The city claims it is only enforcing and "adjusting" old permit laws, to justify these actions. The police department has stated it will begin enforcing the laws, as of August 2nd, which is why we chose this day. We must meet this head on.

The implications of this, within the 9/11 truth movement alone, are pretty much on the surface. From 9/11 student scholars beyond, many have been taking video to document officials responses to questions about 9/11. Video and photographs have been used to document actions, cause the multiplication of actions, as well as pass along and spread creative concepts which other truth movement individuals and groups have put into use. Furthermore, video and photography can help prevent and/or document a potential future false flag operation if one were to be occur. There are so many significant reasons why this must be challenged.

All are HIGHLY encouraged to join, feel free to take what ever proper measures to rely the message that a law strictly against the first amendment, including freedom of expression and freedom of media, will not be tolerated or recognized by the people of New York City.

Most specifically, our meet-up location will be at City Hall Park, which is at the south end of City Hall. Both the N and R trains(City Hall), and J M 4 5 6 trains(Chambers Street) stop in the immediate area. See you there, and please invite all others who may be interested.
