In August of 2009, thanks to a very generous donation from a subscriber, we were able to send all North American politicians a copy of the latest Collector’s Edition of Global Outlook (Issue #13).  The following covering letter was included:

August 2009

Dear Members of Congress, Members of Parliament and all Senators,

Please find enclosed a special issue of Global Outlook which, we believe, presents compelling and fact-based evidence supporting THE NEED FOR A NEW INVESTIGATION INTO 9/11.

Once in a while, it takes someone courageous enough to stand up and ask the difficult question: "Why have both the US Congress and the Canadian Parliament taken the official story of 9/11 as the gospel truth - when over 1,700 senior military, intelligence service, law enforcement and government officials; architects and engineers (see articles ps. 141, 143 & 147); pilots and aviation professionals; college and university professors and 9/11 survivors and family members all refute the findings of the 9/11 Commission?" (See listing p. 289.)

Several international politicians have spoken out for a new investigation. On January 10, 2008, Yukihisa Fujita, a Japanese Senator, raised questions about 9/11 in the Japanese Diet. On February 26, 2008, Guilietto Chiesa, a Member of the European Parliament, showed Zero, a highly critical film denouncing the veracity of the official Kean-Hamilton investigation into 9/11, to journalists and Members of the European Parliament. (See p. 291.)

The citizens of the world are also showing concern that the truth has not been exposed. More than 70,000 registered voters in the City of New York have signed a petition requesting that the city council include a referendum question on the municipal election ballot on November 3, 2009. The question to the residents of New York City would be whether or not they wanted a new investigation into 9/11. (See NYC CAN article p. 294.)

There has been a groundswell of support from citizens in the United States, Canada and around the world for a new thoroughly independent investigation, because the consequences of accepting the official story of 9/11 are resulting in so many global, life-changing events. (See p. 16.)

Unfortunately few, if any, politicians in the United States and Canada have taken an initiative to support the wishes of the people. I ask each of you to exercise the influence and weight of your office to support the call for a new investigation. After all, it is the duty of all elected politicians to act on the wishes of the people.

Respectfully,

Ian Woods

Thanks to the encouragement and persistence of those of us who live by the motto: “Where there’s a will, there’s a way!” we were able to save $2464.00 in mailing costs to get our 9/11 Truth message to our “fearless” leaders in our nation’s capital. The resulting motor trip to Ottawa went extremely well. … like clockwork as they say. Here’s how it went down.

By Ian Woods, Publisher/Editor

At the beginning of 2008, we, at Global Outlook, began assembling what we would call a “9/11 Truth Info Pak” of all (3) of the books we had published on 9/11 and a special DVD (Zeitgeist) to send to all the Canadian Members of Parliament (MPs) in Ottawa to inform them about our concerns. (See Letters to MPs and Senators here.) This included: 9/11: Solving the Greatest Crime of All Time – The Best of Global Outlook Vol. 1 (SGCT); 9/11: The Greatest Crime of All Time – The Best of Global Outlook Vol. 2 (GCT2); Modus Operandi 9/11 – a novel by Canadian Hal Sisson (MO 9/11) and Zeitgeist – The Movie (Parts 2 and 3 only).

When Hal Sisson and I originally conceived of the idea of sending just SGCT and MO 9/11 to Ottawa , we took it for granted that it would be “free” to send all MPs, but according to the manager of the Canada Post it’s only letters under 30 grams that are free, not packages.

Jennifer, my helper at Global Outlook, found out that it was, in fact, going to cost $2,464.00 to mail 308 of those packages via Canada Post to Parliament Hill!

While I was away at the 9/11 TruthNowTour in Australia in March, Jennifer made the brilliant decision to include, in our Canadian bulk mailing which was just going out, an appeal to our Canadian subscribers to help us raise money to pay for the mailing costs. Over the next two months we ended up raising $6,888.00 from 100 subscribers! So the mailing costs were easily covered.

But … we got several calls and emails from our subscribers insisting that the mailing should still “somehow” be free.

So I checked around and found out that if we could find a single MP who would okay it, we could utilize the internal mailing system on Parliament Hill to get our packages to the MPs. All we had to do was get them delivered to Ottawa .

First, I tried my MP Bruce Stanton (Conservative MP for Simcoe North) and after a few days the answer came back that the package (which I described over the phone as being a good reason why we should pull Canadian troops out of Afghanistan ) was “too much.” Whatever he meant by that was not explained.

Then Betsy Wood, monetary reformer and activist in Vancouver, got on the blower to her MP, Don Bell (Liberal MP for North Vancouver), and we ended up sending his executive assistant, Jeff, a sample package. After three weeks, and repeated phone calls, we gave up waiting to hear back from either of them.

So, Hal Sisson, decided to walk down to his constituency office and ask Kelly Newhook, the assistant to his MP Denise Savoie (NDP MP for Victoria ) for her help. Kelly got on the phone right away and within a few hours had the name of the fellow at the Parliament Hill sorting plant in Ottawa and the okay to deliver the packages during regular office hours.

I then phoned this man, the manager, Yvez, to make sure he’d be willing to receive them, if I drove them up from Barrie and he said yes, but only if they were individually addressed to MPs … and not anything to do with the Senators. Those packages would have to be delivered to another address.

“Senators?” I asked myself. “Humm …” That got me thinking. One quick call to Hal and we agreed that we should definitely included the Senators in this 9/11 Truth information blitz. And why not? They had all sorts of time to read and watch DVDs didn’t they?

Jennifer and I figured it wouldn’t be that much more work to create a three-book package for all the 91 senators, so on Tuesday (April 29^th) we spent the day packaging SGCT, GCT2, MO 9/11 and Zeitgeist (Parts 2 and 3) for all the Senators.

Then on Wednesday, April 30^th we spent the day updating our mailing to the MPs by creating another package for them which included a new cover letter and a copy of GCT2 which we hadn’t thought of including the first time round.

Then I loaded up the Global Outlook van with the MP mailing which comprised 40 or so heavy duty Canada Post mail boxes which contained 616 packages of 924 books and 308 DVDs. It looked like the van couldn’t hold much more, in the way of weight. So I took it for a test drive down the road and back to and from our storage unit. My friend Steve, a mechanic, just happened to be there and he looked at it and said, “Sure you can add the mailing to the Senate provided you put the load in the middle and not the back of the van.” This added another 11 boxes of books and DVDs for a total of 1,203 books and 401 DVDs … the largest such one day mail-out in Global Outlook history!

On Thursday, May 1^st, I left my home bright and early at 8:35 am and drove approximately 470 km and 6 hours to Ottawa with a FULLY LADEN van load of information for the MPs and Senators. As I was driving along through Algonquin Park to get there, I realized that this was May 1^st, Revolution Day! What an appropriate day to be delivering these 9/11 Truth Info Paks to our “fearless” leaders!  That is IF I could get them there without getting a flat, or swerving off the road, as nearly happened when some pick-up truck crossed the yellow line coming towards me.

Anyway, I made it to the Ottawa sorting plant by 2:30 pm without incident and was very happy to meet the plant manager, Yvez, who happily accepted all 616 MP packages without question. What a relief that was! Now, I could see out my back window and the van felt like it was as light as a feather now that most of the weight had been removed.

So it was on to 140 Wellington St. opposite the Parliament Buildings. I found the perfect parking spot just around the corner from the front door of The Senate. (I discovered that they do not have a loading dock.) When I arrived, I explained who had authorized my delivery: MP Denise Savoie via Kelly Newhook. The security guard at the desk, with a finely wax-tipped handle-bar mustache said, “Just because so-and-so says you can deliver your packages here, doesn’t mean you can do so. How do we know who that person is?” I gulped and expected a problem. But no, he went on to say, “You have to follow the guidelines.” “Which are?” I asked. “Give us one of your packages and we’ll scan it. If it clears security then you can bring the rest of them in … through the front door.” “Is that all?” I asked. “Yes, indeed.”

So, that was about as easy as it got. After 11 trips back and forth to my van, and after all the boxes had been scanned, they said au revoir. As I walked out the door, I could see that they were stamping each parcel as “Received May 1, 2008.” Thank goodness I decided to take the Senator mailing along for the ride that day! They probably got their packages first. And more than likely, they’ll be the ones most likely to enjoy Hal’s book, as it is just about their vintage. (Hal is 87.)

“Whew! And Hooray!” I said to myself, as I looked up at the clock on Parliament Hill. 3:05 pm May 1^st. “Hmmm. Not bad for a day’s work! Now I can check into my hotel and quaff down a nice pint of beer at the Fox and Feather opposite the hotel!” That’s where I was planning to meet Kevin Doyle and (later, at the War Museum ) Matthew Buechler who is the local Ottawa organizer of the “March on Ottawa" along with fellow activist O'Neil Brooke. (By the way the march starts from Montreal on September 7 and ends up with a demonstration on Parliament Hill on September 11, 2008.)

While I was enjoying my beer, I realized that this delivery we had just made could help kick-start the March on Ottawa , just five months away. What with the Victoria and Vancouver 9/11 Truth Societies having sent letters and DVDs to the MPs earlier and with a petition arriving via (Libby Davies – NDP MP for Vancouver East) on August 1^st, it would be quite appropriate for Canadians who couldn’t make the March on Ottawa to phone their MPs (and Senators, for that matter) to ask them if they had received their 9/11 Truth Info Paks and if they had had a chance to review the material and, ALSO, did they agree that we needed a PROPER investigation?

I figured, that If thousands of Canadians phoned their MPs (Toll Free: 1-866-599-4999) and Senators (Toll Free 1-800-267-7362) about 9/11 Truth, before the big march, then it would be as if they too were marching to Ottawa (figuratively speaking) to get an answer as to why the Canadian government hasn’t PROPERLY investigated the deaths of 24 of its own citizens on 9/11/01 yet.

So that’s what happened on the way to Parliament Hill. Thanks for all your encouragement from our subscribers!

As Emile Zola once said, “The truth is on the march.” Indeed!

Good luck to all those who are planning to “march” to Ottawa NOW and in September!

A final note: As it turns out, when totaling all the costs of Global Outlook’s campaign to “Educate the Parliamentarians about 9/11 Truth” – which included the printing costs of the books we supplied and the cost of all the DVDs we purchased, plus Jennifer’s time stuffing and sealing the packages, as well as the cost of my trip to Ottawa – it equaled about $6,360.00, which was $528.00 less than all the donations received. The excess funds will be used towards the next campaign! Once again, thanks to all those who gave us their financial support in this campaign! WE DID IT!!
