1. Thank you for printing this article. Please continue along these lines, and resist the pressure to keep quiet. The perpetrators of 911 must be exposed and held accountable.

3. Dear Sir/Madam,

I am British and have just stumbled upon your excellent article about

Yukihisa Fujita san. I applaud the efforts of Fujita-san and he has my prayers and best wishes.

If you can convey these sentiments to him in Japanese then I shall be very grateful.

The world really does need the efforts of all Japanese — citizens and politicians — to force the truth out into the open so as to ensure the criminals responsible (such as George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, and all the many so-called Jews active in that administration, such as Michael Chertoff) are brought to justice, and if found guilty, executed by hanging or by lethal injection.

We must rid this world of the Illuminati. All efforts must be concentrated on eliminating the Illuminati.

Yours truly, and thank you.

6. Dear Staff of The Japan Times,

I would like to congratulate you on taking the step to journalistic responsibility.

The issues of 9/11 will come out in full one day and you will be respected for being one of the first moves in the main stream media to actually start talking about the issues.

I hope you will have more articles discussing the flaws with the “official story”.

This issue permeates all our lives and it needs to be addressed.

Thank you again for your honorable actions.

8. It is gratifying to know that one Japanese lawmaker isn’t kissing George W. Bush’s

backside and blindly accepting the 9/11

Disinformation offered by the post-9/11Bush administration. Democratic Party Diet representative has done the right thing to intelligently question what happened on 9/11 and to confront those who would mislead the public with dubious claims about how buildings just simply collapse neatly after being struck by commerical airplanes or not struck by anything, such as was the case with Building #7. And anyone with the a even a morsel of common sense can see that a Boeing 767 NEVER hit the Pentagon.

Something hit the Pentagon, but it wasn’t a 767. Where’s the tail section and the two massive jet engines, each weighing 6 tons? These are two massive engine blocks that would not have been destroyed on impact, even by the explosion of a fully fueled commerical jet.

Someone is lying big time. Bush’s pants are on fire as in “liar, liar, pants on fire”, but he’ll never see the inside of any courtroom. Like Marlon Brando’s “Godfather”, Bush is too well connected to ever sweat a courtroom appearance.

Too much is at stake for the truth to ever be revealed. Just after the 9/11 attack, Bush advised the American public to simply go back to their daily routines and forget about the WTC bombing. Even this advice was an attempt to encourage the public not to be overly curious about what really happened that dark day in September 2001. Funny how a president can lie his way into a war with Iraq and the people of the United States still elected him to a second term, or did they? Voter registration fraud and voting fraud are nothing new in America, but with new computerized voting machines, the electronic shell game just got easier.

Long live emperor Bush, America’s very own Nero. And Rome is indeed burning.

The fire started on Sept. 11, 2001 and the fire is still raging.

9. Truly courageous reporting, more people need to know about 9/11 and true heroes like Fujita-san. Thank you!

10. was very good, and i was wondering if you could send me a link to it or maybe even the article in the mail? I’m trying to get a non-infowars link preferably..thanks so much

11. note: this was neither supporting nor criticizing the article, but is not available.

12. The premise that the WTC towers were intentionally destroyed (based on the written articles and videos which have been flooding all the various airwaves), plus, the “crashes” into the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania…I would have to concur. It is quite unfortunate that the powers whom believe they be-think that by initiating such blatant acts of terror on ones own people, and then using these said same acts as a “springboard” for the invasion into other countries re: Iraq, Iran-just to name a couple…would have another thing coming.

I find it quite incredulous that the public as a whole is falling for the line that those so-called elected officials at the top are feeding them. All of the evidence-whether it be via video or by literature should suffice to convince a people they have been conspired against for very many years. There are many situations which are being controlled by irregular channels and these will eventually end up being corrupted like many well-placed individuals. Until the vast majority of citizens realize that those in a higher placement have far more ulterior motives than the fair representation of their elective region re: State,Country,Province-we as a whole will tend for the time being be not to much more than bottom dwellers to them.

14. It would be good to keep in mind that people who serve in the USA’s armed forces often are told that some military operations & national policies which date from the period from 1774 to 1787 remain state secrets. The American mind & character remain inscrutable. It is rather doubtful if the USA’s leaders will recant the USA’s official stories of the destruction of the WTC & damage to the Pentagon on 9/11/01. American leaders would loose face if they revised the official story of 9/11/01. We Americans are a very strange people. What became the USA has always has been a multi-racial society since Europeans first settled in N America in the 1500’s & 1600’s. It is impossible to create & enforce any American attitude in a pluralistic nation of many races & religions. Americans are, by nature, doubters & skeptics; that never will change.

15. Read your article and I thought this would interest you

http://belowgroundsurface.org/belowgroundsurface/framespage.htm?loc=http://belowgroundsurface.org/belowgroundsurface/Comments.aspx?StoryURL=616

perhaps you could find a way to get it to Fujita. It might lend some help to his argument.

16. Dear Japan TImes,

Regarding “Lawmaker takes 9/11 doubts global” from June 17th, 2008.

Let me commend you for printing an article about the alternative theory for 9/11. I was cursing the Japan Times for ignoring the story back in January, but you’ve made up for that! I’m looking forward to more real journalism like this in the future.

17. I was quite surprised to find John Spiri’s article about Yukihisa Fujita on the Japan Times website yesterday. Surprised because, despite Fujita’s credentials as a Diet member, he is simply repeating the tired intonations of completely discredited theories regarding the events of September 11th. Additionally Spiri writes with a very exaggerated and outright misleading writing style, doing his best to inflate the tiny influence that a band of wingnuts has on real discourse. From its focus on asserting the “growing number of individuals”, the “many” who are “convinced” that we are not being told the truth about the September 11^th attacks and so on, the writing style alone makes it clear that Mr. Spiri is a sympathizer of these embarrassing claims.

Let’s take a look at what he has written in this article, and the claims of the conspiracy theorists themselves.

With regard to World Trade Center Building 7, a building located near the two main World Trade Centers, and which collapsed later in the day of September 11^th, after sustaining major damage from debris and internal fires, Spiri writes:

“Between the videos showing the way it fell, and the numerous reports of explosions, many are convinced that this building was demolished.”

What reports of explosions is Spiri talking about here? If we imagine for a moment that it would even be possible to wire such a building with explosives without anyone noticing, we would have seen and _heard_ explosive charges traveling up the building as in any standard controlled demolition. Why does Spiri ignore the overwhelming accounts of firefighters including Chief Firefighter Daniel Nigro who have said repeatedly that it was obvious the building was coming down hours before it actually did? The minority of witness accounts that claim to have heard explosions are dwarfed by the direct accounts of survivors in these buildings who heard nothing but the building collapsing around them as they raced downwards to survive. Are we really expected to believe that these explosions were so quiet?? The subsection “Did eyewitnesses report hearing or seeing bombs and demolitions explosives in and around the towers?” at http://wtc7lies.googlepages.com/ is an excellent resource which illustrates exactly what survivors experienced, and thousands of them: eyewitnesses, firefighters and rescue personnel did not hear bombs. What does that mean for the conspiracy theory? If no bombs can be heard on any recording of any of the three buildings that collapsed that day, what leg does any conspiracy theorist have to stand on? <snip>

19. Jews did 911 and all world wars.

The one word that is not being said is usually the guilty party. This is the case.

http://www.Jews-Did-911.com

Only the Jews and Israel have profited from 911 and the Next False Flag will happen before Oct 2008 and plunge the world into total oil cutoff and Japan will starve. So cut your goddamn Political Correctness and start telling the truth. The Jew press and media in the USA won’t. Are you under the thumb of Jews there too?

Commander Z,

Patriot Militia.

20. The 911 farce is just that and covered up by the Republican leadership! If you look at every individual member on that commission they are connected like a circle :The most prominent other than Zelikow and Rice ,Is Tom Kean ;He knew Bush in 1986 ,when Reagan held a press conference on IRan / Contra ,bush told Kean that he did not know how much Reagan knew ,or even if all the players were on the “plane “. Kean took over Bush’s seat on Aramark in 1984 ,He gave a speech at the 1988 RNC for bush . He is the most powerful person on oil Giant Hess by virtue of controlling all the shares from the Estate of a Mr. Hess. I could go on and on ,but i am sure you have as much info. NO plane crashed into the Pentagon according to Jamie Mcintyre ,CNN, Senior Reporter (Pentagon) his video is available on line .. I am 73 and really appreciate what you are doing to get to the bottom of this for US. obviously we can’t do it on our own ,Canada has introduced a bill in Parliament for the same reasons ,I am a veteran USNavy 1952-1956 ,not proud of my country

21. Saturday, November 24, 2007 Prothink Interviews NYC First Responder Paul Isaac

CLICK HERE FOR THE INTERVIEW

PICTURE TAKEN OF PAUL ISAAC AND MIKE DELANEY AT WTC GROUND ZERO, NEW YORK, NY 9/11/2007

Paul is going to be presenting evidence of 9/11 to the courts and would like your support if you are in the Brooklyn area. This will be going on at the Brooklyn Circuit Court December 7th, 2007. He requests that people come to support him in his efforts to obtain justice for 9/11/01. Here is some of the evidence he will be presenting:

More Unanswered Questions re: Keyspan Tanks

Paul Isaac is an Auxiliary Fireman and first responder. 
He has spent an untold number of hours doing in-depth research compiling 
many areas of evidence challenging the official account of 9/11.

The image below illustrates a parallel between the 
demolition of the Keyspan Maspeth Holding Tanks in Queens, NY on 
July 15th, just a few months before 9/11. Although explosives were 
outlawed, somehow with the Giuliani administration in power, this 
demolition was carried out even though the surrounding area was 
residential. You can still see the Queens Gazette article from 7/18/01 here. 
Also,

The height of the tanks is approximately the same 
as the height from where Flight 175 struck the south tower and the 
top of the building. The angle of the collapse of the South Tower 
(see Image 2) was almost identical to the angle of the demolition-cased 
collapse of the tanks (see Image 3). Also, the antenna from Tower 
One came down in the same direction, into Tobin Plaza rather than 
west towards the World Financial Centers. The demolition of the 
tanks was planned and carried out by Controlled Demolition, Inc. 
Isn’t it interesting that this company also was contracted to do 
the cleanup after the Oklahoma City Bombing, then again for cleanup 
of the World Trade Center towers? Also, see the Online Journal article here by Jerry Mazza.

23. Sir:

I answered your polled….never thought about it until now…and I must say…this story has started an itch I would like to scratch. Whether this is a conspiracy or not by the Bush administration…but I am sure of one thing though….they certainly used the situtation for their own agenda and also lost the world sympathy and its own people’s trust.

PS: please keep up the research on this subject.

24. Dear Sir/Ma’am,

Thank you so much for publishing the story “Lawmaker Takes 9/11 Doubts Global” in the Japan Times, and thank you so much for having a courageous, truth telling Diet member such as Yukihisa Fujita who realizes how important the truth is for peace in this world and the prevention of nuclear war.

Here in the U.S. there is almost total censorship of the truth by our mainstream media, the Congress, the Senate, and our “President” (he doesn’t even deserve such a title). There are a few brave people in our Congress and newsmedia, but they almost invariably wind up losing their jobs, or their lives (as with Senator Paul Wellstone who was killed in a plane crash shortly before the invasion of Iraq because he opposed the invasion because it was all based on lies and was, and still is, a war crime). As it was with Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia, the people of those countries were mostly kept in the dark about the truth by their respective governments and newsmedia while the rest of the world knew what the truth was. Since we don’t get the truth from our government or newsmedia, we have to rely on the Internet and the governments and newsmedia of othercountries to bring the truth to us. There is a statement in the Bible, “Remove the log that is in your own eye first so that you can see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye” which is very true. It is obvious that this statement also applies to countries, with the people of these countries being blinded to the truth by their owngovernments and newsmedia. Fortunately, with the Internet and rapid worldwide communication, all that people in one country have to do in order to get the truth is to look at what is being said by the newsmedia and leaders of other countries.

The people here in the U.S. owe Mr. Yukihisa Fujita and the Japan Times a debt of great gratitude for their honesty and courage. In this world, people should all want to be at peace with each other and get along happily. The only way that this can happen is for the truth to be told. The Bible also says, “You shall know the truth and the truthshall set you free“; it doesn’t say “maybe” or “possibly”. Therefore, the best way for there to be peace, and avoid a nuclear World War 3, is for the newsmedia to tell the truth at all times and for the people to demand the truth and accept nothing less than the full truth.

25. Dear Sir,

9/11 WAS an inside job, a false flag operation, and Dr David Kelly WAS murdered (as was Robin Cook).

26. This is the full 3 hour 25 minute version instead of 3 parts (I removed those):

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Event: Press Conference with Senator Mike Gravel

Topic: Support for NYC 9/11 Ballot Initiative, Call for New Investigation

Contact: Les Jamieson 718.492.2192 or 917.658.0132 / info@nyc911initatiative.org

28. To disbelieve is incorrect and insane. Ask the those people who lost loved ones whose lives were destroyed by fanatic Jihadists. .

It’s interesting, and revealing, that the lone critic, Jon Rodgers, would disparaging refer to Mr. Fujita’s “tired intonations of completely discredited theories.” The observations of Mr. Fujita are, as Mr. Fujita and several letter writers noted, new to most media save the internet. And if the theories are so discredited, JT readers are out of the loop: Rodgers was the lone believer in the official story to criticize the article out of over 20 responses, most of which strongly praised the article and noted ‘it’s about time mainstream media covered it.’

What exactly is the theory Mr. Fujita–or myself the writer–promoted? A careful reading would reveal that the article raised many questions and doubts about the official 911 explanation—that buildings fell in the manner they did for the reasons claimed—and put forth no theory at all to replace it.

Like his hyperbolic “discredited theories” snipe, Rodgers refers to “real discourse” which he presumably envisions himself a part of. But his discourse consists largely of name-calling (doubters of the official story like Mr. Fujita are “wingnuts” and later “nuts on their way out”), misreadings, and obfuscation.

Rodgers, for example, is either unaware of the convention of quotation marks, or is a very poor reader. He attacks me for “writing” passages like “Between the videos showing the way (building 7) fell…” adding, “What reports of explosions is Spiri talking about here?” However, I’m not talking about anything; I’m simply quoting Mr. Fujita.

As far as the tone, I readily acknowledge that I find many of the criticisms of the truth movement compelling, including Mr. Fujita’s views. That’s what the article was, after all, a recapitulation of Mr. Fujita’s testimony to the Japanese Diet and Prime Minister, and the subsequent worldwide support he received from politicians and citizens groups in Australia, Europe, America, and Japan. If Japan Times granted me a 5,000 or 10,000 word limit I could have certainly sought out counterpoints, like about the Popular Mechanics ‘debunking debunkers’ article, and other points-counterpoints. 1600 words, however, was not fully sufficient to adequately explain all the doubts, let alone a series of counterclaims. Finally, the official story has had its day in court, so it seems fair to me to let the doubters and critics of the official story have their day.

Rodgers claims to know so much about what happened on September 11, and that’s a main difference between us; I don’t. For example, he “knows” the buildings did not fall horizontally as Dojimaru claims, calling him “hilariously wrong,” or claims it was a “mistranslation”. When I first read Mr. Dojimaru’s email, recalling my impression that the buildings had fallen vertically, I inquired, and Mr. Dojimaru pointed me to some videos. And you know what? A case could be made that at least a significant portion of the buildings did spew out horizontally.

As far as who Mr. Dojimaru is, as the article notes, he is the Japanese author of a book about 911 who influenced Mr. Fujita. Rodgers is practicing obfuscation by attacking him as an “anti-semite.” What does that have to do with an article about 911? Getting even further off the point, and betraying his tendency to launch attacks based on absolutely no proof, he guesses that “Mr. Spiri does not read Japanese.”

As for still another attack on me, that I am “not a person who looks critically at what is placed in front of him,” I’ll offer a conjecture of my own. I conjecture that every man who seriously considers the claims and counterclaims about what happened on 911 believes he is looking at it critically. Every person. The extent to which we can achieve a critical reading, and a reasonable opinion, depends on our ability to set aside biases and see with clarity. A serious inquiry, I submit, starts with an understanding of a human’s natural propensity for self-deception and leads through a thorough and dispassionate appraisal of the evidence. At the very least, we should engage in the debate without shrill accusations and name-calling.
