Ed Asner introduces Richard Gage, AIA, at Los Angeles
by AE911Truth Staff

Ed Asner

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.

Richard Gage on KMPH TV

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

Sustaining MemberIt 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

New Companion DVD Available Now

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

The Battle for Belief: A Sociologist’s Research in 9/11 ArgumentationAmong 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.”

Published: June 24, 2009

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…)

From The August Review

by Patrick Wood

Patriots, Christians and concerned citizens are increasingly in the cross hairs of the U.S. intelligence community, and battle lines are being quietly drawn that could soon pit our own law enforcement and military forces against us.

A February 20 report entitled “The Modern Militia Movement” was issued by the Missouri Information Analysis Center (MIAC) that paints mainstream patriotic Americans as dangerous threats to law enforcement and to the country. Operating under the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the MIAC is listed as a Fusion Center that was established in cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice.

Because authenticity of the report was questioned by some, this writer contacted Missouri state Representative Jim Guest (R-King City) who had personally verified that the report had indeed been issued. Rep. Guest is chairman of the Personal Privacy Committee and is a prominent leader in the national Blowback against the Real ID Act of 2005 that requires states to issue uniform driver’s licenses containing personal biometric data. (See Guest warns against Big Brother, Real ID)

Rep. Guest stated that he was “shocked and outraged” at the report, which clearly paints him and many other elected state leaders, as a potential threats to law enforcement.

Instead of focusing on actual criminal incidents of “home-grown” terrorism, the MAIC report instead lists issues that it believes are (more…)



“Fear not the path of truth for the lack of people walking on it.” Robert F. Kennedy, June 6th, 1968

As medical professionals, we are dedicated to the service of humanity; to alleviating suffering, to improving health, and to preserving life. We are horrified by the terrorist acts of 9/11 and the senseless suffering and loss of life resulting from them.

The terrorist acts of 9/11 resulted in the immediate deaths of 3,000 emergency service workers and innocent citizens. The inhalation of toxic dust in the weeks following 9/11 will result in the premature deaths of additional thousands of rescue and construction workers and New York residents. The acts of 9/11 have been further used to justify the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, which have resulted in the deaths of thousands of military personnel and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians.

As medical professionals, we are trained in science and logical reasoning. We are appalled by the lack of scientific rigor and the substantial omissions and blatant distortions in the official account of 9/11 as embodied in the 9/11 Commission Report and related government documents.

We are not alone in our concerns about the validity of the 9/11 Commission Report. A group of 25 senior U.S. intelligence services and law enforcement veterans sent a joint letter to the U.S. Congress expressing similar concerns and their desire for a new investigation. Several very senior CIA veterans have called the 9/11 Commission Report “a cover up” and “a joke” and have called for

WeAreChange would like to recognize the leadership of George Martin, NFL star and SuperBowl Champion with the NY Giants in 1987. George raised over two million dollars for the first responders of 9/11, raising money and awareness by walking all the way across the country, from New York to California.

WeAreChange also caught up with some of the SuperBowl Champs from 2008. On the video is the messages they had for the first responders. As we watch another SuperBowl pass let’s remember who the real heroes in our country are, and how badly they’re in need.
