Activist ideas, and links for printing stickers and flyers

[Gene Laratonda]

I’m in the Greater Pittsburgh Area and really enjoy guerilla activism. Here is a little of what I’ve done in the past years. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please let me know. I love this stuff.

Communication

– Postcards to all 537 Congresspeople, letters and DVDs to representatives
– Emailing NIST, Popular Mechanics, NY Times and other MSM
– Commenting on any 9/11-related article on the internet and linking to relevant info

Social Media

– Commenting in connex FB groups outside the echo chamber (other firefighter groups; NYC groups; architectural, construction and engineering platforms, i.e.)
– Creation of his own FB group, WTC7 Didn’t Blow Itself Up
– Admin on the 9/11 Truth Movement page (43,000 members)
– Personal page with 5,000 followers subjected to 9/11 Truth posts on a daily basis

Donations

– Donations to the big Truth orgs (AE, LC [$100/month], FF [$100/month], Justice for 9/11 Heroes), plus smaller projects (Dan Hanley’s new movie project, i.e.), plus fellow truthers who are having trouble getting by
– Organized own fundraisers for certain initiatives

Promoting

– Promoting AE*, Firefighters, the Lawyers’ Committee and now Richard Gage solo, including any event, podcast, webinar, movie, interview, video or new initiative
– Regularly goes on “Sign the AE/LC petition” sprees*, urging people to sign
(* Even after the soul-crushing Cease and Desist letter)

Activism

– Regular leafleting, plastering posters and stickers in public places
– Putting up banners and billboards on the side of the road (up where they can’t easily be taken down!)
– At Ground Zero for the past 5 anniversaries with a ton of 9/11 Truth paraphernalia, not to mention a bullhorn
– Participation in the anniversary preparations
– Street art (graffiti)
– Designing of own T-shirts, decals, business cards, pamphlets, postcards, posters
– Creating memes and graphics around themes (WTC7, nanothermite, NIST, LC, using any current subject in the news to make it 9/11-Truth relevant)

Original Ideas and initiatives

– Met Cyril Wecht at a presentation 2 years ago and put a ton of AE material directly into his hands
– Connected with Ben Wecht and put him in touch with Barbara Honegger
– Pentagon debate between David Chandler and Craig McKee that only failed when CM backed out at the last minute
– The weekly 9/11 WarRoom Roundtable discussion in an effort to bring everyone together regardless of affiliation and promote/encourage activism
– Suggesting a Law-and-Order type series showcasing all the evidence as presented in a courtroom (Feb 2021, way before it became an actuality)
– The 9/11 Truth directory listing all advocates, their location and contact info, making it easier to find each other, connect and organize

Misc

– Builds bridges (and sometimes burns them), reaches out to and connects big players and small, organisations and individuals, ideas and execution
– Tries to have errors fixed or bring them to the attention of those who can (zero counter on the ReThink page; Bobby McIlvaine page, corrupt Hulsey file)
– Indirectly responsible for AE’s surge in petition signers after he convinced many people to sign the petition only to realize that the names were not showing up, even a month later, prompting us to inquire what was taking so long, with us being told that AE was very backlogged with verifications, leading to Sandra offering to help and being rejected, but then leading to WV being asked and him doing a bang-up job catching up)
