Hello from Sweden,
Today we went down town with our flyers and banners to spread the information about 9/11. The weather was good, a little bit cold but pretty nice anyway. This action felt very good, much more people seemed to be aware than any other time I have been out. Some even refused the flyer saying "I already know" with a smile. And many more people told us that they heard about this before and wanted information.
When we were packing up and on our way a guy came to us and couldn't belive that we were talking about this in public, he shook our hands and was very glad to see people out ther actually promoting 9/11 truth.
I feel that the truth is catching on more and more, very encouraging!

We always get a rush freeway blogging and bullhorning over the interstate. We stood above I-35, southbound, right in the thick of Friday rush hour traffic. Needless to say, THOUSANDS of Americans were forced to look at our signs and listen to our message.
It didn't take long for Austin PD to show up, but we were prepared. We had contacted the City of Austin, Austin PD, and the Texas Dept. of Transportation to get the "OK" on our freeway blog. As city ordinance and state law stands, there is NO restriction against us holding our signs. Austin PD tried to tell us that we could not stand where we were, and asked us to move to the side of the road. We replied with names, titles and offices that gave us the go ahead. Right as one of the officers told us that he was going to get an OK from his supervisor, another police officer and agreed with us that what we were doing was completely within the bounds of the law. Thanks, officer!
We do have a video of the confrontation, and will post it here as soon as it is uploaded to YouTube. Austin 9/11 Truth Now

Another excellent response to our action.
The citizens are rapidly waking up here in Perth. If this is a worldwide trend then hold on to your seats folks ...

Today was a great day of 9.11 truth for me. In the morning I headed out to Moorpark College to hand out dvd's. I was surprised that there was not more people there, but I still managed to give most of my dvd's away. I found that on campus there are many open minds. Honestly, I didn't get too much resistance. I say a lot of people are open to the ideas of 9.11 truth. Getting people to take action with you and stand up for Liberty is something very different. Apathy equals death. Truthaction keeps me consistent with visible actions.
I forgot my camera today so I had someone take one on my cell phone to prove I was there. I hardly ever forget my camera
I had to go to work for a while but when I got home I had a great idea. I do think this could be the best activism I have done. I took one carboard box and cut it up into smaller pieces. I believe that one cardboard box made about 18 signs.
We then went to a shopping mall and stuck them all over the parking lot. I did this the other night for Ron Paul and the signs I put up a week ago are still there. I tripled the amount of signs I used the other night and covered the entire parking lot.
How many consumers will try to get these down on their way to shop tomorrow?
I am not even that tall, if you are over six foot think about how high up on some poles you could get them
I put all the signs up in about 20 minutes and had a driver taping the back of signs for me.

Another awesome 11th. We handed out around 300 or so copies of LCFC . My pics aren't the greatest this month cuz it was getting dark , but we had about 12 ppl out with us. We just started adding inserts advertising for ppl to join us every 11th so look forward to seeing how that progresses.
WeAreChange Ohio and Cincinnati 9/11 Truth distributed 9/11 materials and then marched directly to the Cincinnati Enquirer to find out why they will not cover the 9/11 cover-up. After being thrown out by security, we went to the local FOX 19 affiliate.

Great actions so far I've seen, very inspiring! My upmost respect to everyone joining in the 11th day campaign.
Here goes the report:
This month's action went very well indeed - We had our very first banner, wich proved effective in geting people's attention, although it surely will be improved in the future. Had some new people coming, wich was very nice and empowering.
Most people were like 0_o looking at the sign, a lot stopped and asked what this was about, and went away with a flyer, and the lucky ones with a DVD (didn't have many with me this time :S).
Two policemen came to check us out and report on our banner size etc to whomever they report, they were polite and couldnt care less about what we were protesting at first. After the rain started pooring and we were taking off, they came to talk to us again, and we engaged in a very positive conversation. One of them was aware of bush-laden connections wich was very surprising (damn preconceptions). I handed them both a DVD wich they took very enthusiasticaly and thanked me for it. That was also a surprise.
Here are the pictures, again sorry for crappy quality, but it was late and not much light... I did what i could adjusting it with the gimp:
The banner says: "Investigate 9/11"
Greetings from Spain, and keep taking action everyone.
"In January 2008, there will still be over 250 detainees held in the American military detention camp in Guantánamo Bay. A legal no-man’s land, the detention camp opened its door on 11 January 2002. Initially touted as a detention camp for “enemy combatants” caught fighting the Americans in Afghanistan, it has since emerged that many of the detainees were nowhere near Afghanistan or combatants and were sold by the Pakistani military for a mere $5000. Over 800 men, of various nationalities, including 9 British nationals, have passed through its gates in the past six years. Only one detainee has ever been convicted of a minor charge, less than a handful face charges and the rest have been held arbitrarily without access to the legal process, at the whim of the US military, for almost six years. Enough is enough. Will 2008 be the year to see Guantánamo close?"
Another blustery rainy cold 11th. The day started off with one of our guys Andy participating in a round-table discussion that went out live on radio. Was extremely moving to observe. Topic: Guantánamo. Location: The Foundry in Old Street
Westminster Bridge
Liverpool Street (We were moved on by police in case we caused 'mass hysteria')
Millennium Bridge
Tate Modern
Trafalgar Square
Old Street
Tate Modern
Millennium Bridge
Parliament Square
Downing Street
The evening saw a demonstration and a series of speeches that took place at Parliament Square organised by We Are Change UK and the National Guantánamo Coalition . Speakers included former Guantánamo detainee Moazzam Begg Members of Parliament, author of the Guantánamo files Andy Worthington and human rights activists including Gareth Pierce Attendance around 150.
The day culminated in a Guantánamo poetry set all the way back where we originally started the day at The Foundry in Old Street that included a performance by 'The Grassy Noel'
