THE
New American Dream InterviewRICHARD D. BRINKMAN, 54, lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
He is a 9/11 Truth activist, and a pressman at Canwest's daily newspaper The Edmonton Journal.
NAD: Richard, hello, welcome and thank you for taking the time.
The Edmonton Journal, that's a big paper, right? You are the printer? The head printer? What is your job? Sounds fun, but full of stress — right?
On the online edition of The Edmonton Journal it says the temperature there is four degrees Celsius.
What's that in English?
RICHARD D. BRINKMAN:
I’ve worked 20 years at The Edmonton Journal.
I work on a Goss Metroliner web offset press as a journeyman printer.
As a printer I maintain my objectives of quantity (speed and deadlines) and quality of the newspaper with the minimal amount of spoilage and keeping production costs low.
It’s a fast-paced and very satisfying job. I love the challenge!
That 4 Celsius would be 39 Fahrenheit.
NAD: How did you get started in the 9/11 Truth stuff?
RICHARD D. BRINKMAN:
After 9/11/2001 I was 60-40 percent convinced that 9/11 was an inside job.
My girlfriend Sarah (a non-truther) and I were always supportive of our American friends and neighbours to the south after the attacks.
One day to express our support we decided to scrawl into the snow with our boots " I LOVE NY" at a local football field.
A gesture of love and support for our American friends and neighbours that could easily be seen from airplanes above or from atop of the high level bridge that parallels the football field. (See picture.)
One morning in March of 2007, I was driving home after a shift when I tuned the radio in to Art Bell's Coast to Coast show.
Art was just responding to a caller who claimed 9/11 was an inside job.
He scolded the caller for this, then added, "AND BESIDES IF 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB, YOU'LL BE DEAD!
Art Bell, the guy who brags about not being afraid to talk about anything from space aliens, bigfoots and yetis , bottomless backyard holes, to crop circles, ghosts devils and demons ... but this business of questioning 9/11 was way too taboo for even Art Bell to entertain on Coast to Coast.
Something was definitely up, I thought!
Later that spring I attended a three-day conference put on by the good folks of Vancouver 9/11 Truth where I heard speakers Barrie Zwicker, Webster Tarpley, Steven E. Jones, Peter Dale Scott, Robin Hordon and many more interesting speakers discussing the topic of 9/11.
That’s when I became hooked on 9/11 truth, and since our troops were fighting in Afghanistan for what I believed was the wrong reason of 9/11 retribution, I figured I could no longer stay silent about the lies and crimes of 9/11.
Wayne Prante , Robin Hordon, and Janice Matthews gave much time and assistance helping me set up and establish our own 9/11 truth activist group in Edmonton.
NAD: How's it going?
RICHARD D. BRINKMAN:It's going good in Edmonton.
Our group is presently putting together our second “EDMONTON QUESTIONS 9/11” event, set for May 2, 2009.
We’ve invited two guest speakers: author and journalist Barrie Zwicker, and co-founder of Pilots for 9/11 Truth Robert Balsamo.
We hope to have another success with this event as we had when we invited both Dr Kevin Barrett and Professor Anthony J. Hall to speak during last year’s Edmonton Questions 9/11 event.
NAD: What keeps you going?
RICHARD D. BRINKMAN:
Doing what’s right in one’s heart and mind, I think that’s what keeps most of us going.
NAD: Would you like to choose one of these to answer, elaborate on?
We don't ask this to make fun. We ask because we really seek the answers.
— Did Bush knock down the towers?
One thing I‘m certain of is the Conservation of Momentum (Energy). If Bush was involved he will be exposed.
— Is Bigfoot real?
We got a guy at work who wears size 14 boots. I'll have to say yes!
— Is there a God?
I think so ...
... What makes you think that?
Faith ...
NAD: Would you like to see the past put behind us, or would you like to see members of the Bush administration tried for war crimes, such as lying to start a war, torture, Guantanamo, murder.
RICHARD D. BRINKMAN:
The Bush Administration must face war crime charges!
NAD: Please tell us more about yourself, the things you have done, what you would like to do, what you did today.
RICHARD D. BRINKMAN:
I have four kids. I love the outdoors, nature, and hiking. I hiked our famous West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island three times.
I worked as a set painter and public relations director for community theatre.
I sat on several boards including our union executive and a board of directors for a condo association where we once fought city hall over an unfair tax levy ... and won!
Presently I enjoy working full time as a 9/11 truth activist.
I love to paint and draw and try my hand at guitar and poetry .
NAD: What did you absolutely have to get done by noon today?
RICHARD D. BRINKMAN:
Get out of bed, being a night shift worker.
NAD: How about by Christmas 2010?
RICHARD D. BRINKMAN:
Go to Taiwan and hang out with my son and his wife.
NAD: To tell you the truth, we down here know zip, nada, about Canada, Canadians, Canadian politics, sports, nothing.
All we know about Canada is through maybe one Michael Moore movie, Red Green, and John Candy.
Why are you folks kind enough to give a toot about us down here?
RICHARD D. BRINKMAN:
I think Canadians care about people and our planet everywhere.
We are a small population of people from many nations and cultures with lots of prairie, mountains and forests in between us.
We love America. Who doesn’t?
But we loath your foreign policies, your interference in other countries, and your habitual lust for war.
