Also:
John Phillips Avlon[1] (born 1973) is the author of Independent Nation: How Centrists Can Change American Politics and Wingnuts: How the Lunatic Fringe is Hijacking America. He was a columnist and associate editor for The New York Sun and worked as chief speechwriter for former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani. He was Director of Speechwriting and Deputy Policy Director for Giuliani’s 2008 presidential campaign.[2] He is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.[3] He is senior political columnist at TheDailyBeast.com.[4]
[edit] Life and career
Avlon is the son of Dianne P. and John J. Avlon of South Carolina.[1] Avlon was the youngest and longest-serving speechwriter in the Giuliani Administration as well as Deputy Communications Director. His work included helping prepare the Mayor’s State of the City Addresses for 1999 through 2001. After the attacks of September 11th, he and his team were responsible for writing the eulogies for all New York City Firefighters, New York City Police Officers, Port Authority Police Officers and other emergency workers killed in the destruction of the World Trade Center. Additionally, he served on the staff of the Bilingual Education Reform Task Force, the City Hall Park Restoration Committee, and the 2001 Charter Revision Commission, which established the Office of Emergency Management as a permanent city agency.
Independent Nation has been called, “the definitive history of ‘Centrism’ in America, and probably the best-selling radical centrist book to date.”[5] Avlon has lectured at Yale University, NYU, the Citadel, the Kennedy School of Government, and the State Departments visiting journalist program. He is an advisory board member of the Citizens Union of New York, Bronx Academy of Letters and the Theodore Roosevelt Association.
He has appeared on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, PBS, and C-Span. He hosts the “Wingnut of the Week” segment on CNN.[6] Syndicated columnist Kathleen Parker wrote that “Americans who are fed up with the Ann Coulter/Michael Moore school of debate, and are looking for someone to articulate a common sense middle path, may have found their voice in John Avlon.”[7] His essay on the attacks of September 11, The Resilient City was selected to conclude the anthology Empire City: New York Through the Centuries and won acclaim from Fred Siegel, the author of The Future Once Happened Here, as “the single best essay written in the wake of 9/11.”
Avlon is married to Margaret Hoover, the great-granddaughter of President Herbert Hoover.[1

And what country …
And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not
warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of
resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as
to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost
in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refresh…ed from
time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. — THOMAS JEFFERSON!

CNN = Criminal News …
CNN = Criminal News Network
Pentagon shooting = inside job to demonize conspiracy theorists.
The real name for inside job is false flag, this is both well known and used by the government and military. Framing people can be very beneficial and create situations for change which could not usually be made.
Inside jobs are used to reduce your liberties in the name of security and you pathetic sheep don’t even understand any of that.
do your own research!

Director of Speechwriting for Giuliani in 2008.
Senior Fellow at GOP’s Manhattan Institute which was created by Ronald Reagan’s CIA Director William Casey in 1978.
Does Avlon seem like he doesn’t have a political agenda, does he seem like a person who could treat liberals & republicans equally, does he seem like a person who’s not a biased partisan hack playing favoritism.
