“As we awaken more of the sleeping masses we gain more strength. People who have been living comfortable lives up to this point are getting jolted from their complacency. There will be a major shift. The shift in energy has been happening for some time now and is really kicking into high gear. Release all fear and you are unstoppable.” - Ann Capotosto
After a 20-minute conversation with Congressman Brad Sherman’s office on Friday, October 10, 2009, I hung up the phone not believing what I had just heard. Congressman Brad Sherman represents the 27th district, one of the geographically largest districts in Southern California representing around 600,000 constituents. The congressman’s policy advisor in Washington, Erin Prangley, ignores the question as to how they got there. She kept repeating that the Congressman’s position is expressed by the report published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), as recommended by the San Fernando Valley chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
When it comes to the subject of the September 11th terrorist attacks, it appears that many political offices become a Bermuda triangle, where reports are lost and never seen again along with common sense, logic, basic math skills and the desire to protect the rights of the American people. To be fair however this political black hole wasn’t created after 9/11. On September 10th 2001 Donald Rumsfeld gave a press conference where he told the American people that the Pentagon could not account for $2.3 trillion dollars. That is no typo – that’s trillion with a “t”. Of course, the next day almost 3000 Americans lives were lost, along with the World Trade Center ,and the issue of the missing $2.3 trillion got sucked away into the 9/11 black hole.
If one could travel into this sucking vortex and come out on the other side one might be amazed at what one would find. Perhaps E. Howard Hunt’s deathbed confession for being involved in the JFK assassination, Or the reasons why Lt. Col. Michael Aquino (who founded the Temple of Set Church of Satan) would be allowed to work for the U.S. Army psychological warfare department.
Or perhaps we will find the four black box recorders that supposedly vaporized when the airlines struck the towers, keeping in mind of course that one of the hijackers’ passports survived virtually unscathed and found before the collapse of the towers. (Maybe we should be making skyscrapers and black box recorders out of paper.) Or maybe will find the two nano-thermite papers that were delivered to Congressman Brad Sherman’s office.
A nine-member international team of chemists, physicists, and others published a paper in early 2009 entitled “Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 WTC Catastrophe” (hereinafter, the nano-thermite paper). These scientists used the scientific method to analyze samples of World Trade Center dust that could not have been contaminated by cleanup activities at Ground Zero. They found red-gray chips that were attracted by a magnet, examined the various crystalline and non-crystalline structures in the chips, shot electrons into the chips and looked at the X-ray spectra that came out, and heated the samples and watched how they responded. They compares these results to cured paint chips and to known highly advanced energetic nano-materials. They concluded that “the red layer … is active, unreacted thermitic material, incorporating nanotechnology, and is a highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material.”
Pardon the inevitable pun: this is an explosive discovery.
When NIST was confronted with the possibility of thermite or other types of explosive or incendiary material, they wrote that “a very large quantity of thermite (a mixture of powdered or granular aluminum metal and powdered iron oxide that burns at extremely high temperatures when ignited) or another incendiary compound would have had to be placed on at least the number of columns damaged (more…)
Charlie Sheen addresses the President about 9/11 in a special video message, shortly after releasing his “20 Minutes with the President,” specifically addressing 20 key points that need to be answered by a truly independent investigation.
Sheen’s message is a call to action, not only for President Obama to address the pertinent issues, but for activists everywhere to pressure their representatives and leaders, wherever they may be, to ‘be on the right side of history’ and take back the country through peaceful revolution and true grassroots dissent.
Recent Successes Ed Asner introduces Richard Gage, AIA, at Los Angeles by AE911Truth Staff
See the upcoming update to our DC Convention page for the exciting details of our trip to Washington DC! We presented evidence in the offices of about 20 members of Congress. We also educated hundreds of architects over the days of the local AIA DC convention at our busy exhibit booth. We gave away hundreds of DVD’s and signed up about 16 new architect petition signers on the spot. We showed 9/11: Blueprint for Truth every hour on the hour in our classroom to the architects who were generally quite open and curious about the evidence. We delivered tough letters to Shyam Sunder at NIST in Gaithersburg, MD, and to AIA President Marvin Malecha through AIA General Counsel Jay Stephens. Of course, our working trip to DC wouldn’t have been complete without a presentation in front of the White House to a group of tourists surrounding our banner “Hundreds of Architects & Engineers Demand a Real Investigation!”
To measure our effectiveness, Richard Gage never fails to ask for a show of hands before and after the evidence sections of his talk. The dramatic change in opinions in favor of controlled demolition is one measure of our success. The first stop on the recent AE911Truth SoCal RV Tour on May 26, Fresno/Clovis, exemplified the hand-counts for the entire tour. 18 people arrived convinced that fires brought the WTC buildings down, while 27 were unsure and the remainder already believed the controlled demolition hypothesis. There were no official-story believers after the talk and only two who were unsure. We also tripled the size of the hardworking and dedicated 9/11 Fresno Truth group that included Dennis, Trevor, Jordan, Steve and Manuel.
Welcome TV coverage was provided by local Fox affiliate KMPH because of the persistent efforts of We Are Change Fresno and Manuel (introduced earlier), a Fox employee. On KMPH’s 10pm News, they showed clips from the live presentation and an interview, but failed to show any of the evidence presented with each. A local firefighter hero was brought in to cast aspersions. But on the morning show Great Day, Richard was interviewed in the studio and was able to present a lot of evidence, including video of Building 7’s destruction, to the hosts, who were fascinated and open-minded. If you haven’t seen this crisp, respectful 7-1/2-minute interview, be sure to do so now.
In Los Angeles, Richard was introduced by Ed Asner, who called him “a tireless and tenacious advocate…
AE911Truth and FF911Truth Light Up Seattle Together by Editor
It was the best turnout ever for the 9/11 Truth Movement in Seattle. Perhaps the reason for the large turnout was because we spoke in tandem with the new hard-hitting (FF911Truth). The dedicated 9/11 Truth folks in Seattle completely went to town on marketing and brought in a sea of 580 faces. The universities were thoroughly canvassed — including the last minute faculty box stuffing in the Department of Architecture at the University of Washington.
Erik Lawyer of FF911Truth and Richard Gage, AIA, of AE911Truth double-teamed the crowd for an hour each, and then answered questions together for an hour. Before the event we had 45 believing that planes/fires brought down the twin towers and afterwards…
29 Structural & Civil Engineers Cite Evidence for Controlled Demolition More than 700 architects and engineers have joined call for new investigation, faulting official collapse reports by Gregg Roberts and other AE911Truth Staff
The facts are in. The evidence is conclusive. These experts lay it all out.
For Some, the Doubts Began Early
“Something is wrong with this picture,” thought Nathan Lomba, as he watched replays of the Twin Tower collapses on television on September 11, 2001. A licensed structural engineer trained in buildings’ responses to stress, Lomba saw more on the screen than you or I. He puzzled, “How did the structures collapse in near-symmetrical fashion when the damage was clearly not symmetrical?”
Success in Focus Richard Gage, AIA, on Coast to Coast AM Leads to Surge of Interest
by Dwain Deets
Because of his very large listener base, George Noory’s 3-hour interview of Richard Gage, AIA, brought an across-the-board range of benefits to AE911Truth’s efforts. A threefold increase in comments to the website (nearly all positive) brought a number of spin-off benefits, including: suggestions for increasing our effectiveness; volunteers in critical-skill areas (i.e., web design/maintenance); A&E petition signers; and possibly sustaining members.
It is impossible to tell which of the future victories by the 9/11 Truth movement will trace back to this single broadcast. Without a doubt, many seeds were sown, and a large percentage will bear fruit. In other cases, the seeds had already been sown, and this Coast-to-Coast AM broadcast will help turn lukewarm questioners into committed activists.
WTC Electrical Engineer supports AE911Truth — Featured Petitioner
by AE911Truth Staff
Among more than 700 architects and engineers who have signed our petition, one doesn’t get much closer to the inner workings of the WTC than Richard Humenn, our Featured Petitioner. Humenn was the Senior Project Engineer-Electrical who worked on the construction of the WTC from the bidding period to several decades afterward….
AE911Truth arranged an interview with Humenn to get further insight. In that discussion, Humenn admits the building collapses didn’t look right…
*9/11 Families, First Responders and Survivors Gather at City Hall to Endorse 2009 Ballot Referendum to Establish New Official 9/11 Investigation in NYC, Call on New Yorkers for Support*
*New York* - Outside City Hall today relatives of 9/11 victims, first responders and survivors of the September 11th attacks gathered to endorse a November ballot initiative to establish a new 9/11 investigation under the auspices of the city government of New York. Support on the street is high, the group says, and polls indicate a majority of New Yorkers wants a new investigation.
On June 24, the group leading the ballot initiative, the New York City Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN) filed a petition containing 52,000 signatures with the office of the City Clerk. The official filing initiated a 60-day period specified in Section 37 of the New York Municipal Home Rule Law in which the City Council is asked to review the petition and approve its placement on the upcoming November ballot.
Since this milestone filing, the group has gathered an additional 15,000 signatures and received several endorsements from prominent leaders. Renowned whistleblower and former FBI agent Coleen Rowley, who TIME magazine selected as one of three “Persons of the Year” in 2002, endorsed a new investigation yesterday, as reported by RAWSTORY http://rawstory.com/blog/2009/07/ex-fbi-agent-why-i-support-a-new-911-investigation/. Bill Doyle, who lost his son Joseph, has been an outspoken leader of an active community (more…)
Cincinnati 9/11 Truth had a successful showing in the Northside Fourth of July Parade in 2009. The response from the crowd was overwhelmingly positive as the group marched along Hamilton Avenue in front of more than 3,000 attendees.The group distributed information about the 9/11 attacks to the onlookers, including hundreds of fliers and DVDs. The discs included such 9/11 Truth stalwarts such as Blueprint for Truth, Terrorstorm, and Improbable Collapse.
The turnout by the group members was impressive. Participants came from as far as Fairborn, Ohio and Northern Kentucky. A number of youthful volunteers helped out by holding signs and distributing material to the onlookers.
A new addition made its way into the parade this year: a 9/11 Truth truck, decked out with professional banners featuring Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
Mike Cook, who was driving the truck, stated that the event was “very encouraging. People were much more receptive than last year.”
Participants like Cook have seen a visible improvement in the understanding of 9/11 by the general public.
“I noticed quite a few folks who looked like they were explaining the matter to others.”
“That was most gratifying. All our hard work is paying off.”
Detective James Zadroga, called in 2006 the first rescuer to die from inhaling dust at ground zero, became a posthumous source of controversy when the city’s medical examiner concluded that his death was not directly related to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Now Detective Zadroga’s name has cropped up again, this time attached to a bill in the Senate that would establish long-term monitoring and health care for those affected by exposure to the World Trade Center site.
The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, introduced by the New York and New Jersey Senate delegations on Wednesday, would establish a monitoring and treatment program, including mental health services, for first responders and New Yorkers exposed to the dust. It would also reopen the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund that Congress established after the attack, while limiting liability for the city and trade center contractors in previously resolved or pending claims.
The bill has no cost estimate yet. A similar bill introduced (more…)
