This post, written by Jim Gilliam, originally appeared on The Real Rudy

After receiving the names of over 20,000 people supporting your call for an investigation of the questions raised in The Real Rudy: Radios, New York City Councilman Eric Gioa pledged:

"I will do everything in my power to get answers, to get the truth. There needs to be accountability."

Councilman Gioia chairs the Oversight and Investigations Committee of the New York City Council. With his support, we can hold Giuliani accountable for his failure to equip firefighters with radios that could have saved lives on 9/11, and get answers to these questions:

* Why was nothing done to improve FDNY radio performance for seven years after a clear need was demonstrated in the 1993 World Trade Center attack?

* When new radios were finally ordered, why did the city award a contract to Motorola without a competitive bidding process?

* Once Motorola was given the contract, why did its cost jump from $1.4 million to $14 million?

* Why were these new radios never field tested?

Digg!

Forget Giuliani's performance. What about NORAD's non-performance?

Brave New Films has done a wonderful job of their film about Giuliani and the faulty radios the firefighters had on 9/11. I would recommend that everyone see the entire film posted above.

This film shows one of the hundreds of areas around 9/11 that the public has not been able to look at.

I do not believe the official story that comes from the White House and the Bush administration regarding the attack on 9/11. There needs to be a true investigation of 9/11. The 9/11 Commission was a sham.

Our country needs to know the truth.

NYC has an air defense plan.
Ask Goulianni about it.
There are Fighter Jets and Cobra Gun ships protecting New York City.
How did four planes fly around the heaviest defended airspace in the world for an hour an a half and get away with it?
The same air space that Aircraft were routinely intercepted dozens of times before?
Example, Paine Stewart’s jet was intercepted within fifteen minutes and then escorted to the Rockies where it crashed.
Allot of trouble to go thru for a golfer.
What about NYC?
What happened on 911?
Nothing!
Absolutely Nothing!
Except the biggest hoax ever perpetuated on mankind.
Coincidently a billion dollars worth of gold was being stolen at the same time.
Who thinks up this sh-t?
They never miss a trick.
Some operation!
The only reason the building was pulled early.
Was that the Fire Chief on the fire floor said that there was no fire.
NO FIRE!
The gig is up, leave the last armored car full of gold and pull the building, quick.
No bodies where found in the armored car.
They even pulled the building where the operation was run from.
Where they aimed their Laser guided bombs.
Wow!
Watch on TV as they make three buildings disappear right before your very eyes and with them your Freedom, Rights, Liberty and Country.
Before the second jet flew into the trade center it took a little detour.
Flew over Indian Point Nuclear Reactor and Stewarts Air force base, twice!
Now, where was our TRILLION DOLLAR defense system?
Out of bullets?
Stand Down 911!
Dead Eye Dick was running the show and
He shot us in the face!
You look into it.
Discount the disinformation agents that spew BU__! SH__!
What you see is what you get.
A COR-‘PIRATE’ Stupid State under Dead Eyes control.
