40 years ago one courageous American exposed the names of some of the people involved in the Kennedy Assassination. Thanks to New Orleans DA Jim Garrison, we first heard of David Ferrie, and Guy Bannister, and Clay Shaw.
Four years ago we moved to Venice, FL and began poking around on-scene at the site of the biggest Sept 11 crime scene that wasn’t reduced to rubble.
History has proven Jim Garrison right. He made a difference that still matters. And we have complete confidence that what we’ve done in Venice will be valuable to future historians of our time, and that —40 years from today— the names Rudi Dekkers, Wally Hilliard, Mister X, et al, will be as familiar to those interested in the story behind the 9/11 attack as those of Ferrie, Banister and Shaw in the secret history of the JFK assassination.
Now that we’ve been sued by Mister X, we need big-time support if we’re going to fight his lawsuit, and gain the ability to question him under oath. We need your help, and we need it now, within the next week.
If we are unable to raise $5000. to pay an attorney to represent us, we will be forced to settle, or risk being silenced altogether. But this is not about you supporting us…
The lawsuit filed against us by Mister X presents a unique opportunity to learn more about the intrigue swirling around Mohamed Atta and his fellow terrorists while they lived in this country. And if, for lack of resources, we’re forced to settle, and the name “Mister X" is forever banished from our lips and from our website, life will most assuredly go on.
But we will all be just a little poorer for it.
Events in recent America have not been kind to investigative journalists. Ask (RIP) Gary Webb, who broke the story of CIA drug trafficking into the open, only to be ushered out of newspaper reporting forever.
Or Robert Parry, first to report on what came to be known as Iran Contra as a reporter for the Associated Press (but not for long.)
Or Pete Brewton, whose ground-breaking reporting at the Houston Post on the S & L scandal (The Mafia, CIA and George Bush” (1992) soon led to his being shown the door.
And now the same people are attempting to do to the Internet what they’ve already done to the mass media. Sanitize it. Trivialize it. Sensationalize it. Turn it into one long edition of Hardball, one long Entertainment Tonight.

“The most important research concerning Atta and conspiracy of 11/09/01 is one that everyone runs from… Danny Hopsicker's investigation into Atta & the flight school in Venice, Florida.”
“Hopsicker's investigation–his published research, WELCOME TO TERRORLAND. his website, http://www.madcowprod.com, makes everyone else appear to be a bullshit artist.”
“Daniel Hopsicker is one of those reporters of the good old kind that John Pilger — one of the best-regarded journalists in the world — says he is missing more and more: "Their journalistic experience has taught them to take their time and listen to people; they willingly accept danger and inconvenience to follow leads and collect facts. They look skeptically at the powerful. They are what all reporters really should be, namely real investigative journalists."
