'P4T' Director, Co-Producer Coming to Minneapolis For 9/11 6th Anniversary

'9/11 Press For Truth' director Ray Nowosielski and co-producer John Duffy have announced they will be attending the free screening of the movie in Minneapolis on the 6th anniversary of 9/11, at 5:20 P.M. at Riverview Theater.

They will join famed FBI whistleblower Colleen Rowley, who is introducing the movie. Nowosielski and Duffy will take questions afterward at the wine bar across the street from the theater.

Promoting the screening, Nowosielski appeared for a half hour this morning on Don Olsen's radio show on KFAI 90.3/106.7 Minneapolis-St. Paul "Radio Without Boundaries". You can listen to a recording of the show here.

If you are in Minnesota, you can also catch Nowosielski this Monday at 5:30 P.M. on Air America (AM 950), or listen live online here.

FBI Whistleblower Tapes Ads Promoting 'P4T'

After September 11th, FBI Special Agent Colleen Rowley wrote a scathing letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller over what she characterized as FBI Headquarters' pre-9/11 blocking of her Minneapolis Field Office's attempts to investigate "20th hijacker" Zacarias Moussaoui, whom they had arrested the month before the attacks.

Rowley was called to testify before the Senate and later the 9/11 Commission and was named 'Time Magazine's 2002 "Person of the Year" for her efforts to bring the truth to light in this matter.

Now, Rowley has appeared in two radio ads promoting '9/11 Press For Truth'. The ads, a 60 second and 30 second version, are running on Air America AM 950 in Minnesota's Twin Cities beginning yesterday and through September 11th, in the run-up to a Minneapolis 9/11 6th anniversary screening of 'Press For Truth' to take place at the Riverview Theater (3800 42nd Ave. South) at 5:00 P.M.

The now-retired 20-year FBI Special Agent will be attending the screening and will speak for a few minutes following. Two previous screenings of 'Press For Truth' at the Riverview have sold out, so if you live in the area, be sure to arrive early!

Rupert Murdoch Buys '9/11 Press For Truth'

Well, sort of. '9/11 Press For Truth' will have it's Australian television premiere on The History Channel, owned by FoxTel, a Rupert Murdoch-owned company.

'Press For Truth' will premiere as part of a day-long block of programming devoted to Sept. 11th on Australia's The History Channel in honor of the sixth anniversary of the attacks. Hopes are high that this may lead to a U.S. History Channel deal.

Also buying 'Press For Truth' for television broadcasts, most likely over the 9/11 anniversary, are the Polish digital satellite channel Planete, owned by Vivendi Universal, and Spanish public television channel TVE, the largest audio-visual group in Spain to broadcast in the Spanish language.

These are the second channels in both Poland and Spain to purchase the movie for television. Another deal with Sweden is being finalized.

One of our distributors emailed us from Hungary's capitol of Budapest, where they are shopping around '9/11 Press For Truth' at the 15th annual DISCOP, the only market dedicated to television sales for Central and Eastern European countries.

Democrats.com Join New "Jersey Girls Deserve Answers" Campaign

Democrats.com sent an email blast to their almost 20,000-person mailing list last night in support of our new campaign to encourage Congress to support the new Kucinich 9/11 Investigation until ALL REMAINING FAMILY STEERING COMMITTEE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED.

This represents a major breakthrough in getting this campaign to the American public. The team at '9/11 Press For Truth' are continuing our efforts to build a large, diverse coalition of groups behind this new campaign.

"Jersey Girls" Reach Petition Goal, Head to D.C.

In a press release, the "Jersey Girls", four widows from New Jersey whose story is told in '9/11 Press For Truth', announced that they have now surpassed their goal of 15,000 signatures on their petition entitled "The Public's Right to Know - Declassification and Release of Documents".

As we have written previously, the online petition calls for the release of all transcripts and documents related to the recently-revealed July 10th, 2001, meeting between then-CIA Director George Tenet and then-National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, as well as the 28 redacted pages of the Joint Inquiry Report and the CIA Inspector General's report on 9/11 accountability.

"As promised," the women write, "we have hand delivered it to lawmakers in Washington, D.C." The Jersey widows are asking you to please help them by calling your Congresspeople and telling them the public has a right to know.

Following Controversy, 'P4T' Director Returns to Radio in Defense

Over the last week, according to Jim Babka, president of our partner DownsizeDC.org, the new "Jersey Girls Deserve Answers" Campaign has illicited the most heated response in the organization's three year history. Babka has spent the week wading through emails, attempting to explain our position one reply at a time.

The emails have mostly been coming from two polar opposite camps. Half are from people who are angry that DownsizeDC seems to be veering off it's course into "conspiracy land", and the other half are conspiracy theorists who are angry that '9/11 Press For Truth' doesn't push any conspiracy theories! A contradiction, to be sure.

In order to better clarify the positions of both DownsizeDC and '9/11 Press For Truth', Babka has invited the movie's director, Ray Nowosielski, to return to his radio program, the DownsizeDC Conference Call, today at 4:00PM Eastern time to "get into specifics".


"There are more than just two options regarding 9/11," says Nowosielski. "It isn't simply 'The government told us the whole truth' OR 'conspiracy theory' -- take your pick. Another option, where I think the 'Jersey Girls' and Paul Thompson and myself fall, is that we can't be sure right now exactly what all happened here, but we can clearly demonstrate from the available facts a pattern of utter failure and in some cases criminal negligence, lies, perjury, and obstruction of justice by many U.S. government officials. And we need to see some accountability for that."

New Campaign to "Press For Truth"

In response to Congressman Dennis Kucinich's recent announcement of new hearings into 9/11 beginning in September, the makers of '9/11 Press For Truth' are launching the "Jersey Girls Deserve Answers" Campaign to bring about real answers for the September 11th families. The announcement was made on-air yesterday by 'Press For Truth' director Ray Nowosielski during the radio show of our new partner in the campaign.

DownsizeDC.org, the "MoveOn.org of libertarian politics", has offered their patented DownsizeDC Lobbying System to allow you to send your Congressperson a "Press For Truth Pack", containing the DVD, the 9/11 Family Steering Committee's Review of the Commission Final Report, and a letter tailored by you online asking the Congressperson to support the Kucinich hearings until ALL REMAINING FAMILY STEERING COMMITTEE QUESTIONS ARE ANSWERED!



To send a "Press For Truth" Pack, click here, scroll to the bottom, and complete the form for first time users of their Lobbying System.

Then, during the week of August 3rd - 12th, and again in September on the week of the 6th anniversary of 9/11, a coalition of organizations will join 'Press For Truth' to host "Answers For 9/11 Families" week. Hundreds of Americans will come together at house parties across the country to screen '9/11 Press For Truth', in which the families revealed for the first time that "70% of our questions" were not answered by the Commission Final Report.

Once you sign up to host a screening during one of those two weeks, we will email you simple instructions on how to make your house party movie screening a success, including directions on how to encourage your guests to send their own "Press For Truth Packs" to Congress.

Kucinich Announces New 9/11 Hearings Will Begin in September

Speaking before an audience at Sonoma County Fair Grounds in California earlier today, Congressman Dennis Kucinich was asked by someone in the crowd for more information about the new hearings into 9/11 that he has said his subcommittee will be holding.

In his response, he revealed for the first time that the hearings will begin "sometime in September". He further implied that the hearings will look, initially, at allegations of insider trading in the stock market just before 9/11 by individuals with apparent foreknowledge of the attacks.

"How many of you believe that the whole story of 9/11 has not been told?" Kucinich asked the audience and was greeted by cheers. He remarked that he had heard such things from citizens all over the country and "this needs to be taken seriously."

The entire incident was videotaped by an audience member and posted on YouTube:

'P4T' Director Will Announce New Campaign Tomorrow on Radio Show

'9/11 Press For Truth' director Ray Nowosielski will join radio host Jim Babka on his one-hour radio show, the DownsizeDC Conference Call, tomorrow afternoon (Sunday) at 4:00PM Eastern time, where the two will announce an important new campaign to help the 9/11 families "press for truth".

Jim Babka is the president of DownsizeDC.org, "the MoveOn.org of libertarian politics", an organization advocating common sense small-government legislation that nearly anyone could get behind, like the Read the Bills Act, which would require Congresspeople to ACTUALLY READ THE LEGISLATION before being legally allowed to vote on it.


DownsizeDC will be an instrumental part of this new campaign. After the show, an MP3 recording can be downloaded and listened to from here.

U.S. Film Festival Premiere of 'P4T'

'9/11 Press For Truth' screened at 2:00PM today at the Central Cinema theater in Seattle as an official selection of the Seattle True Independent Film Festival, the movie's American festival debut.

Director Ray Nowosielski spent the week in Seattle promoting the movie and meeting with fellow filmmakers at the festival. The town was alive with film fans and industry professionals as STIFF ran concurrently with the Seattle International Film Festival, the largest festival in the world. Nowosielski was surprised to learn that John Sinno, producer of last year's Oscar-nominated feature documentary 'Iraq in Fragments', is a fan of 'Press For Truth'. Sinno ended up taking him to lunch, where they discussed future possibilities for reaching a wider audience with 'Press For Truth'.
