It turns out that the GNN 9/11 film was a bit to flashy for the taste of the TASC group, so instead Carol showed us a Canadian Television Documentary- The Great Deception, a more serious series of monologs about the event by Barrie Zwicker, a Canadian guy that had done a lot of research on the question. In introducing the tape, she explained that the guy lost his job by raising questions too daring for even the only non-profit, non-corporate television station in Canada.
Each segment of the show was about five minutes long. There was a segment about how the CIA had created Osama Bin Laden as he currently is by training him and the Muja Ha-Deen to fight the Soviet Union in Afghanistan back in the 1980s. In another one he invoked the old saying "structure is strategy in slow motion" and then explained how the structure of the Bush Administration is dominated by oil and car industries that are very interested in the fossil fuels of the Middle East. The most damning evidence he presented was that the interceptor defenses that are supposed to kick in when a plane is hijacked didn't, even though they knew four planes were very off course a full hour before any of them hit their targets.*
After the tape Carol showed us 9/11 deception dollars**, which have 23 website URLs on them and very entertaining artwork that makes it a pleasure to give them out. She explained that they had first made 10,000 of them for marches in October of 2002, but they were such a hit that by now at least three million of things are out there. She is proud of the fact that many of the websites listed on the thing have been kept alive by donations from visitors that learned about their existance from these bills.
In addition to that grassroots campaign, Carol is heavily involved with a more media based one to get the word out on the more outrageous shenanigans of the cover up. She hosted a conference at the Herbst Theater in San Francisco March 26th to 28th that was well attended by the public and press. Many 9/11 researchers presented their findings there, for many cameras and the general public. She is currently involved with editing down that footage for public consumption.
Carol has many different books about 9/11 and the associated issues. The easiest way to find out more is to visit http://deceptiondollar.com . The best way to find out more is to visit her at her weekly tabling on Lytton Plaza in Palo Alto, every Wednesday from 11 AM to 1 PM, where the many books, buttons, stickers, and deception dollars that help build awareness on the issue are very available.

I gave Carol a Michigan quarter.
