| Description | A multi-million dollar fund for victims and family members affected by 9/11. As a condition of taking the money, they waived the right to take legal action about it. |
|---|---|
The September 11th Victim Compensation Fund has been widely interpreted as a way to try to stifle legal action regarding the 9-11 false flag.[1]
Official narrative
97% of the victims' families accepted money from this fund, and as a result agreed never to file suit regarding the events of 9-11.
US Attorney General John Ashcroft appointed Kenneth Feinberg as special master of the fund, to develop the regulations governing the administration of the fund and administer all aspects of the program.
Problems
Beverly Eckert, founder of Voices of September 11th, a victims advocacy group stated:
“The victims fund was not created in a spirit of compassion. Rather, it was a tacit acknowledgement by Congress that it tampered with our civil justice system in an unprecedented way. Lawmakers capped the liability of the airlines at the behest of lobbyists who descended on Washington while the Sept. 11 fires still smoldered.
And this liability cap protects not just the airlines, but also World Trade Center builders, safety engineers and other defendants.
The caps on liability have consequences for those who want to sue to shed light on the mistakes of 9/11. It means the playing field is tilted steeply in favor of those who need to be held accountable. With the financial consequences other than insurance proceeds removed, there is no incentive for those whose negligence contributed to the death toll to acknowledge their failings or implement reforms. They can afford to deny culpability and play a waiting game.”
