Truth is but approved facts.

The Egyptian pilot was an extreme Muslim fundamentalist who committed suicide while killing all the passengers. From the point of view of Osama bin Laden this was a test that a fanatic would kill “heathens” by flying an Airplane and killing himself also in the process. This was then used in designing the plan for 9-11. However, at the time of the investigation, our intelligence agencies never “connected the dots” while it was clear in retrospect. The cockpit voice recorder showed that the pilot kept repeating the traditional Islamic battle cry, “God is Great” over and over as he dove the plane into the sea.
Frances Wright, widely known as Fanny Wright, was a Scottish-born lecturer, writer, freethinker, feminist, utopian socialist, abolitionist, social reformer, and Epicurean philosopher, who became a US citizen in 1825. The same year, she founded the Nashoba Commune in Tennessee, as a utopian community to demonstrate how to prepare slaves for eventual emancipation, but the project lasted only five years. In the late 1820s Wright was the first woman lecturer to speak publicly before gatherings of men and women in the United States about political and social-reform issues. She advocated universal education, the emancipation of slaves, birth control, equal rights, sexual freedom, legal rights for married women, and liberal divorce laws. Wright was also vocal in her opposition to organized religion and capital punishment. The clergy and the press harshly criticized Wright's radical views. Her public lectures in the United States led to the establishment of Fanny Wright societies and her association with the Working Men's Party, organized in New York City in 1829, became so strong that its opponents called the party's slate of candidates the Fanny Wright ticket.
