Like most Americans, I found myself asking how I missed hearing about the exploits of the intrepid former Soviet national Gypsy Taub (photo right), who left her native Russia in 1986 to become an American.
In 2004, Taub's belief that post-9/11 America too closely resembled the Soviet police state she had left convinced the mother of three to pursue a series of disruptive acts of public disobedience. White Henry David Thoreau would have been proud of her civil disobedience, it isn't exactly the kind of story the New York Times or Fox Network News deems suitable for public dissemination.
Taub never made Laura and George Bush's Holiday greeting card list, but she did happen upon a novel method for capturing the attention off 9/11 "independent" commissioners long enough to convince them that not all American think they did a credible job investigating the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks.
Whistle if You Hear a Lying FascistFollowing publication of the panel's
Final Report of 9/11 findings in July 2004, the commissioners and selected staffers hit the national public speaking circuit to congratulate themselves on how well they met their presidential mandate to investigate the most heinous crime perpetuated on the American people in the last sixty years.
As a former resident of a police state, Ms Taub was not about to bend over the proverbial desk and take it standing up with the quiet graciousness typical of American heartland sheeple.
No, some 9/11 panel members had the unfortunate luck of the draw to speak in California's Bay Area--a controlled Richard Ben-Vineste in San Francisco, a timidly coward suit also named Phillip Zeilkow nailed twice in Palo Alto and a professorial but deer-caught-in-the-headlight surprised Jamie Gorelick in San Francisco--where Taub brandished her trusty police whistle and disrupted the merry charade by yelling questions ignored in their final report that author and philosophy professor Dr. David Ray Griffin appropriately labeled "
a 571-page lie."
Watch the riveting 8:24-minute video clip below revealing how well Ms Taub has taken to heart her adopted country's constitutional freedom to dissent from an opinion the American public is obliged to accept at face value.
