Chapter 5: Problems Chapter 6: My greatest experiences in the 9/11 Truth Movement Chapter 7: The facts speak for themselves Chapter 8: Random articles from over the years Chapter 9: My sincerest thanks to those who have influenced me About the Author Foreword by Cindy Sheehan After years of profound involvement in the US antiwar movement, I can now sniff out partisan political frauds, and the author of this memoir, Jon Gold, is not one of them. A partisan political fraud latches on to an issue or cause or cause cèlebré until that thing or person is not popular anymore, then he/she bails out at the first opportunity. A person who really cares about humanity realizes that the cesspool of partisanship creates and/or fosters the problems for pure political gain.
