WHO WANTS TO JOIN ME THIS WEEKEND ON THE 5TH ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11???
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOMEONE COME WITH ME BECAUSE HOTEL PRICES ARE OUTRAGEOUS!!!! IF I COULD END UP GOING WITH 2 OR 3 OTHER PEOPLE IT WOULD MAKE THE FINANCIAL STRAIN MUCH LESS. IF NOT, OH WELL, I TRIED!!!!
Calling all truth activists!
Come to NYC for a weekend that will
change the world with events which
commemorate the 5th anniversary
of the 9/11 attacks and expose 5 years
of official deception.
Just like the neocons have used 9/11 as an "opportunity to refashion the world", according to Donald Rumsfeld, let's use the opportunity of the 5th anniversary to inform the world that we're a huge constituency who seeks to honor the victims by pursuing the truth and calling for justice. It has been 5 years too long for truth and justice! We must do all we can to make this anniversary a line of demarcation which will send a message to the world that exposes the agenda and true motives behind 9/11. We owe it to the victims, their families, and ourselves.
We are now planning outreach actions, film events, and lectures from Friday Sept. 8th through Monday Sept. 11th of this year. We're expecting reknown speakers and authors, first responders and a few family members to participate. Come Friday evening if you can. Let's converge all movements for transformational progress as we consider the evidence showing how 9/11 was the catalyst for the "global domination project" we have been subjected to. If we want to put an end to war, use our treasury for productive purposes domestically, restore our Constitution, have a law-abiding government, create cooperative rather than antagonistic relationships with the rest of the world, heal our environment, and be the creators of our own destiny, understanding 9/11 is required.
In addition to film and lecture events, it will be very important to have a huge presence at Ground Zero on Monday the 11th, where we will gather at 8 am to show our presence in a respectful manner in the spirit of solidarity with all who have been victimized by the attacks of 9/11, including the health disaster caused by the toxic air. We want to convey our message that 42% of Americans don't believe the official "hijackers with magic boxcutters" story, and 45% want a true, independent investigation of the attacks (according to a May 22nd Zogby poll. Let's face it, evidence shows the official investigation was never intended to arrive at the truth. We ask people to wear a black T-shirt with a 9/11 related phrase such as "Investigate 9/11" or "9/11/06 - 5 Years Too Long For Truth" (see below for image download).

Also, we ask that in the event anyone tries to agitate or instigate us in any way into a negative confrontation, we make every effort to diffuse the situation. We ask that all contribute to our presence being an extension of the work of Gandhi and Martin Luther King.

Getting Around New York City
You can take subways and buses most anywhere. Rides cost $2. If you're here for the weekend we advise that you purchase a Metro Card at a subway station which allows you to purchase as many rides as you need, then refill the card if necessary. The Metro Card is good for both subway and buses. Maps are available in most subway stations. Also, you can download maps in PDF format here.
Media Policy
For anyone wanting to film events, please check back for details. There will be a required agreement.
Travel
We recommend booking your flight ASAP. Just Google "discount airfares" or "cheap flights" for some discount sites. La Guardia Airport is the closest to Manhattan. From there you will need to either take a cab into Manhattan which averages $35-$40, or go to Ground Transportation and ask for the airport shuttle service into Manhattan which averages around $20. The same goes for Kennedy Airport.
If you fly into Newark, you can get a bus/shuttle to Grand Central Station in midtown, then get a cab or take the subway to your destination. For a subway map, click here. Note that you can download a PDF of the map.
Accommodations
Wondering where you are going to stay while in New York for the upcoming events of the 5th Anniversary of 9/11? We will share what we've have found, while searching for hotels that are reasonably priced. Anything in Manhattan is going to be expensive. You will be hard pressed to find something for $200 a night but sharing with others will bring the cost down. You could also try Queens, just ask if the hotel is near public transportation. Here are some discount hotel sites worth checking out.
new-york.hotelscheap.org/ www.hotelcompany.com
www.DiscountHotels.com www.1800nyhotels.com
www.Travelocity.com CheapoHotels.com/NewYorkCity
FurnishedQuarters.com
For the adventurous, there are always listings on Craigslist where people rent out apartments to travelers.
You will find much better value if you stay outside of Manhattan. Just across the Hudson, in New Jersey, which has easy access into Manhattan via PATH trains, buses, or ferries. Again, make sure to ask about proximity to public transportation.
The PATH trains (the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey) run 24 hours a day and cost $1.50. Travel time to the World Trade Center site from Jersey City is 15 minutes. Trains also go to other locations. Many of the hotels are close to frequent bus service. Just check for late night PATH schedules.
Please feel free to contact us with other recommendations you feel should be added to this list. I hope you find this information helpful.
