As Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave her speech at George Washington University yesterday condemning governments that arrest protesters and do not allow free expression, 71-year-old Ray McGovern (well known to the 9/11 Truth community) was grabbed from the audience in plain view of her by police and an unidentified official in plain clothes, brutalized and left bleeding in jail. Two articles here, the second from Ray’s friend, Sibel Edmonds:
Democracy Now provides Ray McGovern a snippet of airtime
They don’t want to give him too much time, lest he mention the taboo topic of */** on Democracy Now, which subscribes to the official */** myth.

after reading the story i didnt believe it until i saw the photos
Thankfully, the charges against Ray McGovern have been dropped and the government has decided not to proceed with its prosecution. “This outrageous arrest laid bare the hypocrisy of Clinton’s presentation about free speech and free expression. While lecturing other governments, she never even paused while Mr. McGovern was brutally hauled out right in front of her and arrested while peacefully and silently expressing dissent,” stated Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, one of Mr. McGovern’s attorneys at the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, which is representing Mr. McGovern.
