Obama Signs Bill to Compensate 9/11 First Responders

Well, after 9 years those first responders who sacrificed their health to save others and to clean up the remains of the WTC are going to get compensated. According to this yahoo.com article:

The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act was named after a police officer who died of a respiratory disease he contracted during the 9/11 rescue operations. The bill was one of the last measures Congress passed before adjourning in December.

Some Republicans tried to block the measure, saying they were concerned with how to pay for the bill. They dropped their opposition after lawmakers struck a compromise to reduce the costs.

The $4.2 billion measure will be paid for with a fee on some foreign companies that get U.S. government procurement contracts

To me it feels like this bill is the perfect fit for the saying "too little, too late" but at least it's better than nothing. I can only hope that the money is well spent and helps the first responders to the best possible extent.

And lastly, lets not forget who was responsible for all of this:



To all of our readers; stay rational and keep debunking the debunkers, things are looking up for the movement.

Fakeham

Our government argues over money while 9/11 heroes die

9/11 heroes are still dying.
Congress has before it the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act.
This Bill was named after the first 9/11 rescuer to die from the "safe air" at Ground Zero. Our government continues to refuses to acknowledge they are responsible in any way for 9/11.
This includes their reluctance to act once again to assist those who are still giving their lives for their service to our country.
The James Zadroga Bill is controversial among members of the House. There are many lawsuits against the US government by rescue workers who believed the EPA's lie and were never told about the toxic air or given respirators. The Congress is trying to decide which action is least expensive. Pay out by court settlements or pay out by this bill.
Those that oppose the bill are worried about setting precedent in regards to damages for terrorist attacks. They cite the fact that Oklahoma bombing victims did not get damage payments.
Excuse me Congress but there is a huge difference between those cited instances and 9/11.

Lets take a look at a few basic facts shall we?
Four airplanes flew off course with out intercept and two crashed into the World Trade Centers. One plane flew into the Pentagon and one crashed in pieces in a field; so saith the official conspiracy story. All of those in charge of America that day failed to act in a timely manner to prevent it. I do not care that war games were going on that day or what your concept of reality was that day. I care that those in charge failed to act in a reasonable manner or follow their own protocol regarding planes off course. This failure to act in a reasonable manner by our President,our military, our Vice President,and the FAA after being informed that four airplanes were off course and one had crashed into the WTC already is proof positive of incompetence, negligence or foreknowledge. People have sued and won cases of negligence for far less cause with far less evidence. So in this writer's opinion they should pass the James Zadroga Bill if for no other reason than those in government are responsible for 9/11 in one way or another. Either by negligence or direct involvement those in charge that day allowed 9/11 to happen. Congress; pass the James Zadroga Bill! Our 9/11 rescue workers deserve it. Stop waiting for them to die off so you will not have to deal with them. It is simply the right thing to do and is the very least of what you should do.

Glenn Beck And Others Are Lying About The 9/11 Truth Movement

A Little Truth Dip for Your Super Bowl Party

Pat Curley of the Screw Loose Change blog posted this video as well, stating, "Kudos to the G-Men, and George Martin, Boos to the We Are Change punks trying to piggy-back their cause on the first responders."

Despite his disagreement on the issue of government complicity on 9/11, you would think he could still give credit where credit is due for truthers efforts in regard to 9/11 first responders.

As one commenter on his blog pointed out, "The 9/11 Truth Movement has always supported the 9/11 First Responders that are sick and dying. To say that we are trying to 'piggy-back' their cause onto ours is a lie. Their cause has always been apart of ours. To say anything otherwise is a lie. Pure and simple."

Indeed, the 9/11 truth movement has been raising the issue of health problems among 9/11 rescue workers long before many others. On 9/11/04, a 9/11 truth symposium was held that featured this issue early on in a presentation that lasted nearly 3 hours. Click here to watch Jenna Orkin of the World Trade Center Environmental Organization give a speech during the symposium. Later this presentation was made into a DVD entitled "Confronting the Evidence: A call to re-open the 9/11 investigation" that was subsequently mailed out to 300,000 people for FREE! If that isn't bringing attention to a subject I don't know what is!

The 9/11 truth movement is composed of many prior/overall political activists who do not put up with government misdeeds. For instance, to what cause was I piggy-backing when I wrote a blog entitled "No Vet Left Behind" that exposed the suffering of Vietnam veterans and citizens due to the toxic defoliant Agent Orange? Perhaps we honestly care about people getting screwed over?... 9/11 heroes and veterans included.

We are individuals that have come to believe that 9/11 either was, or could have been, an inside job to some degree, and we obviously are mad and passionate about it. Does it not make sense that we would also be mad and passionate about the EPA declaring the air "safe to breathe" at the behest of the White House; committing an act of mass manslaughter?

Well actually, in the 9/11 "debunking" world even the EPA's actions are excused!

Back in fact land, 9/11truth.org and others have asked, "If members of this government were willing to knowingly cast aside the wellbeing of tens of thousands of people in favor of 'competing priorities' such as opening Wall Street, what else could be possible?"
