Artists, Entertainers, and Media Professionals
Question the 9/11 Commission Report 

Many artists, entertainers, and media professionals have publicly questioned the official account of 9/11.  Several even allege government complicity in the terrible acts of 9/11.  This page of the website is a collection of their statements. The website does not represent any organization and it should be made clear that none of these individuals are affiliated with this website.

Listed below are statements by more than 200 artists, entertainers, and media professionals that are critical of or contradict the 9/11 Commission Report.

The concerns of these individuals, which are shared by more than 900 senior military officers, intelligence service and law enforcement veterans, elected and appointed government officials, engineers and architects, professors, 9/11 survivors and victim family members, and pilots and aviation professionals whose statements are also featured on this website, cannot be simply dismissed as inherently irresponsible, illogical or disloyal.

Their collective voices give credibility to the claim that the 9/11 Commission Report is tragically flawed and that a new investigation of 9/11 is necessary.

If you are an entertainment or media professional who has concerns about the 9/11 Commission Report and would like your comment added to this website, please contact me.

(1991), The Three Musketeers (1993), The Arrival (1996), No Code of Conduct (1998), Rated X (2000), Good Advice (2001), and the television series Spin City and Two and a Half MenSon of actor, Martin Sheen, and brother of actors: Emilio Estévez, Ramón Luis Estévez, and Renée Estévez.
  • Summary of interview The Alex Jones Show 3/20/06:

    "Speaking to The Alex Jones Show on the GCN Radio Network, the star of current hit comedy show Two and a Half Men and dozens of movies including Platoon and Young Guns, Sheen elaborated on why he had problems believing the government's version of events.

    Sheen agreed that the biggest conspiracy theory was put out by the government itself and prefaced his argument by quoting Theodore Roosevelt in stating, "That we are to stand by the President right or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

    "We're not the conspiracy theorists on this particular issue," said Sheen.

    "It seems to me like 19 amateurs with box cutters taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75% of their targets, that feels like a conspiracy theory. It raises a lot of questions."

    Sheen described the climate of acceptance for serious discussion about 9/11 as being far more fertile than it was a couple of years ago.

    "It feels like from the people I talk to in and around my circles, it seems like the worm is turning." http://www.prisonplanet.com

  • Interview Laha Magazine 2/08:

    "I have never believed the story of the destruction of the Twin Towers on 9/11.  I do not think the wars launched by the United States in Afghanistan and Iraq were the inevitable result of the 9/11 incident.  War is not the appropriate reaction to what happened on 9/11. That reaction was made under the influence of anger and hatred."  http://pdf.lahamag.com


  • CNN ShowBiz Tonight 3/27/06:

    A.J. Hammer: Well, it`s a story that SHOWBIZ TONIGHT first broke last week. Charlie Sheen`s controversial comments and statements that the government is covering up what really happened on 9/11. Tonight we have an update for you, reaction from Hollywood and from all over the country.

    Over the weekend I had the opportunity to sit down with Sharon stone. She`s always been very outspoken about her own beliefs. She commended Charlie Sheen for having the guts to speak his mind on this.

    Sharon Stone: I think if that`s what he thinks then he has every right to say that. I think people should say whatever it is that they feel in their heart, and I think it`s those who stand up and say their beliefs and challenge them in the face of authority that allows people to investigate and look for -- look at what`s happening. I think you have to be brave enough to say how you feel and stand in the face of authority and say it. That`s why we have freedom of speech."  http://transcripts.cnn.com

    I've filmed there before down at the Pentagon -- before 9/11 -- there's got to be at least 100 cameras, ringing that building, in the trees, everywhere.  They've got that plane coming in with 100 angles.  How come with haven't seen the straight -- I'm not talking about stop-action photos, I'm talking about the video.  I want to see the video.  I want to see 100 videos that exist of this. ...

    I believe that there will be answers in that video tape and we should demand that that tape is released." http://www.prisonplanet.com

  • Article The Telegraph 9/1/07 : "A Few Days in September is witty and clever, but there is a serious point behind it - with which Binoche is more than a little obsessed.  She describes it as a dramatised version of the events depicted in Michael Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.  It alleges that various vested interests - including state security services around the world - knew what was about to happen on September 11, 2001.

    While preparing for the role Binoche had long conversations with a secret agent, who consulted on the film and on whom she modeled her character.  "Of course he could not reveal everything to me, but he said a lot," she says.  "Some things I forgot because it was just too much.  Certain things I was very amazed by and when I told people close to me about them they just wouldn't believe it.  Everything in there is true," she adds, her eyes blazing with the fervor of a conspiracy theorist.

    So is she saying the film is a dramatization of real events? "Absolutely," she says. "I went to see the Iranian ambassador at the time and he said of course it's true. Things that I thought were hidden and private… they were very open about it."  So she means the CIA and other agencies knew 9/11 was going to happen?  "Of course."  So is she saying it was an inside job?  Or that al-Qaeda was responsible?  "Everybody is responsible for it. If you only knew more, it's even more depressing." http://www.telegraph.co.uk

– 12-time nominated and 3-time Emmy Award winning and Golden Globe winning Actor. Star of numerous movies in his 46-year career; he's best known for his roles in the movies Apocalypse Now and The Execution of Private Slovak and the television series, West Wing.  Father of actors: Emilio Estévez, Ramón Luis Estévez, Charlie Sheen and Renée Estévez.
  • Interview aired on The Alex Jones Show 10/29/07: 

    "Actor Martin Sheen questioned the official 9/11 story, as well as the collapse of Building 7 and Larry Silverstein's "pull it" comment during an anti-war march this past weekend in Los Angeles, saying that recent revelations about the attacks had caused him to have doubts. ...

    "Up until last year, I was very dubious," said Sheen, "I did not want to believe that my government could possibly be involved in such a thing, I could not live in a country that I thought could do that - that would be the ultimate betrayal," he added.

    "However, there have been so many revelations that now I have my doubts, and chief among them is Building 7 - how did they rig that building so that it came down on the evening of the day?" said Sheen.

    Sheen also questioned the comments of Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the WTC complex, who told a September 2002 documentary that the decision was made to "pull" Building 7, a demolition industry term for the deliberate implosion of a structure.

    "How convenient," said Sheen, "When did they rig that building? That's the most interesting question and I have not received a satisfactory answer - nobody could give me an answer to how you rig the building - what a coincidence - two weeks prior and then bring it down on the day, that is the one thing that I have not got a sensible answer about from anyone," he concluded.

    Sheen also stated that NORAD's failure to follow its standard operating procedure on 9/11 was "something to wonder about." http://www.prisonplanet.com


  • Editor's note: WTC Building 7 was 610 feet tall, 47 stories.  It would have been the tallest building in 33 states.  Although it was not hit by an airplane, it completely collapsed into a pile of rubble in less than 7 seconds at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11, seven hours after the collapses of the Twin Towers.  However, no mention of its collapse appears in the 9/11 Commission's "full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks."  Watch the collapse video here.  And six years after 9/11, the Federal government has yet to publish its promised final report that explains the cause of its collapse.

  • Radio interview with John Connor 2//07:

    Christine Ebersole: There are some people I work with that I think are upset about my talking about 9/11 and thinking that it was an inside job, and, you know, they're worried about my career and worried about what's going to happen and things like that.  I don’t think people really want to really take in the reality that our government could do us harm. I think that's the thing.  It's really just a matter of taking in that reality.  I think we want to look at our government as sort of like a benevolent father that’s going to take care of us and be kind to us and treat us well and I think it’s just too much for people to even conceptualize and I'm sure that’s what happened to people in Nazi Germany. ...

    Things just weren't adding up. For me it’s really hard to say, John, what’s the exact sort of epiphany that I had where I just realized that it was the government that did harm to its own people. But I think maybe what a deciding one was when my dentist sent me a link to Loose Change [9/11 documentary] and when I saw that, everything that I feared or everything that I intuitively felt was confirmed by watching Loose Change.

    John Connor:  You suspected?

    Christine Ebersole:  Yeah.  Um hmm.

    John Connor: Christine, if we were friends and you had never approached me about this subject, if I was still an ignorant zombie, how would you go about educating me?  What would you say?

    Christine Ebersole: I'd ask about World Trade Center number 7.  Number one, I think that's really to me that's the most obvious blunder.  Because Silverstein [WTC leaseholder] said publicly that we had talked with the fire department and we felt that World Trade Center 7 was so badly damaged that we decided to take it down. Or take it out.  Take it out, I guess that's the term that's used for controlled demolition.  Now you cannot put controlled demolition devices in a building in an afternoon. That's just not possible.  So, how do you -- Of course they never even ,mention that.  Then they talk about the Twin Towers collapsing.  That's never even mentioned.  It's never even brought up in the Report, the 9/11 Commission Report. So, to me -- How do you explain that?" Link to mp3 audio file

  • Open letter 4/26/04: " I would like to suggest to you emphatically that the 9-11 truth movement is the most pressing issue of the peace & justice movement today. ...

    There are many disturbing issues around 9-11 that have yet to be examined in any meaningful way by our media, Congress, and even by the 9-11 Commission. These include accountability for the massive breakdown of air defense and plane intercept procedures as described in FAA and DOD regulations, which were violated on 9-11.

    This breakdown and astounding unpreparedness by U.S. domestic defense agencies is puzzling to say the least, given the detailed reports our government had of the coming attacks, that were bizarrely suppressed by key officials. ...

    I urge all to read The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11 by David Ray Griffin, and endorsed by Howard Zinn, and to view "The Great Deception" documentary by acclaimed Canadian television journalist Barrie Zwicker. ...

    We must look deeply at the events leading up to, on and since 9-11. We must demand full 9-11 truth." http://www.septembereleventh.org


  • Signatory: Petition requesting a reinvestigation of 9/11:    
    "We want truthful answers to question. …  As Americans of conscience, we ask for four things:
    • An immediate investigation by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer
    • Immediate investigation in Congressional Hearings.
    • Media attention to scrutinize and investigate the evidence.
    • The formation of a truly independent citizens-based inquiry." http://www.911truth.org/article

  • Interview with Xavier de Moulins 2/26/08:

    "On the Internet, one can see many films regarding conspiracy theories about 9/11.  They are enthralling, perhaps even addictive. ...

    One shows a tower, which I believe was in Spain, which burned for 24 hours.  It never collapsed.  No tower has ever collapsed [due to fire].  But within minutes, the [WTC] towers collapsed.

    And now afterward we can speculate at length about them.  Because the towers contained a lot of gold on 9/11.  And also the towers were built a long time ago, I think 1973, and to retrofit the buildings to bring them up to the current technology was much more expensive to do the work rather than simply destroy them." http://www.marianne2.fr

    "If this is your first exposure to this material, you may feel very uncomfortable with that and challenged to confront your prior assumptions about September 11th. If you have already been exposed to these issues, you'll see that there are many things that you'll want to look at.  We have a large group of gifted researchers.  Some of them have been questioning the official story of Sept. 11th from the very first days after the attacks.

    The questions these researchers have raised has been the subject of countless articles, discussions initiated by citizens in their homes. And there's been an official silence by the commercial media about these events, but we've had a tremendous impact on what people have thought. Last month, a representative poll commissioned by Zogby found that about one-half of this city's residents [New York] do not believe that the attacks came by surprise." http://video.google.com

    Rosie O'Donnell:  No, but I do believe that in the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel.  I do believe that it defies physics for the World Trade Center Tower 7, Building 7, which collapsed in on itself [Watch video.]; it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved -- World Trade Center 7.  World Trade 1 and 2 got hit by planes.  7, miraculously, the first time in history, steel was melted by fire.  It is physically impossible.

    Elisabeth Hasselbeck:  And who do you think is responsible for that?

    Rosie O'Donnell:  I have no idea. But to say that we don't know; that it imploded, and it was an implosion and a demolition, is beyond ignorance.  Look at the films.  Get a physics expert here from Yale from Harvard.  Pick the school.  It defies reason."

He plays the starring role of Reggie Jackson in the upcoming ESPN mini-series The Bronx is Burning.
  • Statement to this website 4/6/07:

    "I would like to respond to the question, "How could a small group within our military and government have been complicit in the terrible events of 9/11 without the entire government being aware of it?"

    My response is that the whole government would not have to be in on the alleged conspiracy for the following reason; our government is a hierarchy in which compartmentalization of knowledge is a given.  As suggested by the symbol of the pyramid, the tier below does not necessarily know everything that the tier above knows, and the tiers above that are privy to even more sensitive and "classified" intelligence and so on.  Even within common tiers you see this compartmentalization where "the left hand knows not what the right hand is doing."

    Sounds dark and conspiratorial but that's the fact.  In fact it is the official excuse given by the establishment for how such a thing as 9/11 could have happened on their watch.  It is therefore quite possible (even probable) that an operation of this magnitude could be carried out without the willful participation of the entire government. ... " Link to full statement


  • Interview with Gary Franchi, Lone Lantern Radio 3/20/07:

    "Before we even get into talking about 9/11 and everything, I just wanted to send my love and my prayers of support to our troops and to their families and especially to those that have been touched by death or have been maimed or injured and then discarded as a result of this immoral and unjust war of terror.

    And my prayers also go out, I want to say, to the victims of 9/11 and their families, and in particular the rank and file of the FDNY and the NYPD; all those heroes who fell that day or afterwards because they were told the air at Ground Zero was safe to breathe.

    And next I also really have to, need to, pay my respects to a partial list of people I think are really true patriots, whose actions and whose research are partly responsible for my own gradual awakening to the terrible reality that not only was 9/11 an inside job, but it is just the tip of a titanic fascist iceberg designed to sink our Constitution and Bill of Rights and plunge us into an abyss of unending war and untold human suffering.

    And I really think that people like Charlie Sheen, Aaron Russo, Alex Jones, obviously yourself, Gary at Lone Lantern, Professor Steven Jones, Cynthia McKinney, Dr. Robert Bowman, Ray McGovern, Sibel Edmonds, Kevin Ryan, Rosie O'Donnell, David Ray Griffin, John Connor, and of course the Loose Change crew, Corey and Dylan, and the list goes on.

    I think in the eyes of history it will be impossible for us as a country to over-esteem the significance and the profundity of your work on behalf of humanity and America, in particular.

    And that's just how important 9/11 Truth and by extension the broader issues which it underscores are.  And that's why also I've been inspired to the simple, yet I feel very empowering, act of coming on your show and adding what voice I have to the people's chorus of dissent and the demand and the desire for truth, and justice, and equality.  And eventually that peace and, God willing, a more beautiful world for our children. If we stand up now, we can do a lot to help bring that about.

    So, thank you, Gary, and thank you again to the architects and the original standard-bearers, so to speak, of 9/11 Truth.  God bless you guys for what you're doing." http://lonelantern.org

    Michelle Phillips: None of it adds up. ... There's going to be a very interesting book that comes out. ... [by] David Ray Griffin  It's called [The 9/11 Commission Report:] Omissions and Distortions.  It might already be out.  It might be something that I think everyone ought to sit down and read. ...

    The DVD that I have just seen, called Connecting the Dots, shows a close up of video taken of the [WTC] buildings coming down.  And you actually see the explosions 20 to 30 stories below the demolition wave as the buildings are coming down.  You see these puffs of smoke blowing out the floors below them.  And that's never addressed, never talked about at all. ... And you know that a steel-framed building has never, ever collapsed before or since because of fire.

    You know I think that what's really difficult is for American people to wrap their minds around the fact it is possible that our government had something to do with this attack. http://www.paulberenson.com

  • Interview 1/27/05: "Question: In Cover Up, you show that the government has covered up its own counter-terror failures. Tell us a bit about these.

    Peter Lance: The second half of Cover Up is a painstaking analysis of the 9/11 Commission and it's effective whitewash. I go into great detail with evidence of

    • How the Commission was hopelessly skewed on both the right and the left;

    • How the staff was riddled with conflicts of interest -- almost half of the staff members were alumni of the very intelligence agencies they were asked to judge;

    • How both Democrats and Republicans, cherry picked evidence and limited the scope of the investigation to 1998 forward in order -- I believe -- to ignore the culpability of the FBI, CIA and other agencies for failing to stop Osama bin Laden's 12 year juggernaut;

    • How, in effect, the fix was in on this Commission from day one -- there was an intentional decision to limit the damage across three presidential administrations and eliminate ANY accountability or blame for what I call the biggest intelligence failure since The Trojan Horse." http://frontpagemag.com

  • Video interview 12/3/06:

    Interviewer: There also are conspiracy theories of huge proportions.  And you suggested we show part of or a clip of the documentary Loose Change by Dylan Avery.  And it was a film that has been watched by 10 million viewers because you could see it through the Internet, no charge.  The film sums up in a way all the theories about US government having planned the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center  But let's first watch it. [A four-minute segment from Loose Change is shown.]

    Interviewer: What do you think? Do you think it's convincing what they tell in the film?

    David Lynch: It's not so much what they say.  It's the things that -- you know -- make you look at what you thought you saw in a different light.  And those things for me that bother me: is the hole in the Pentagon being too small for a plane; the lawn isn't mussed up; and the government's not showing the plane hitting, when many cameras photographed it.

    At the World Trade Center, three buildings came down like demolition. And two of them were hit by a plane, but the third one [WTC 7] they said, 'Do you want us to pull it?'  And they pulled it and it looked just like the other two.  Those things bother me.

    [Editor's note: WTC Building 7 was 610 feet tall, 47 stories.  It would have been the tallest building in 33 states.  Although it was not hit by an airplane, it completely collapsed into a pile of rubble in less than 7 seconds at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11, seven hours after the collapses of the Twin Towers.  However, no mention of its collapse appears in the 9/11 Commission's "full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks."  Watch the collapse video here.  And six years after 9/11, the Federal government has yet to publish its promised final report that explains the cause of its collapse.]


  • In Pennsylvania, the plane that went down, it was just a hole in the ground. There wasn't any wreckage.  There wasn't any skid marks.  There wasn't any tear in the earth.  And no one's ever really found out about that. So, every place there's questions coming from this documentary.  And you don't have to believe everything in the documentary to still have questions come up.  ...

    Interviewer: And the suggestion that the American government is behind it, what does it mean?

    David Lynch: That's too big for people to think about.  It's too big.  It's like something no one wants to think about. http://www.youtube.com

They funded Al-Qaeda, and now they blame the Muslim religion

They gave him billions of dollars, and they funded his purpose

  • Essay: "The media won’t ask the obvious questions.  For example, when they had loads of information coming in from several FBI agents as well as warnings from Russia, Britain and several other foreign intelligence agencies before 9/11, predicting what would happen, why were reports stifled and investigations stopped?  Investigative journalist, Greg Palast, had this to say: "There is no question we had what looked like the biggest failure of the intelligence community since Pearl Harbor but what we are learning now is it wasn't a failure, it was a directive."

    I am reading a book now called The New Pearl Harbor by David Ray Griffin.  I've been stuck in the position of ignoring my gut -- knowing things don’t stack up.  Even though our government obviously took advantage of 9/11 by making it their "Reichstag", I told myself, "Surely they weren't involved".  After reading this book I can't doubt that our government was at least complicit in allowing 9/11 to happen.  Get a copy and pass it to all your friends, the evidence is irrefutable." http://www.voiceyourself.com

  • Summary of interview The Alex Jones Show 3/27/08:

    "Top comedian and actress Margaret Cho has joined Willie Nelson and Charlie Sheen in questioning the official 9/11 story, stating that the public were going to become very angry when they realized there was a conspiracy behind the terror attacks.

    Appearing on the nationally syndicated Alex Jones Show, Cho said her doubts about 9/11 were sparked by President Bush's non-reaction to the unfolding crisis.

    "I got concerned right after 9/11 where the plane had hit the World Trade Center and he was in that classroom with all those children and they told him what was going on and he did nothing," said Cho.

    "We were attacked for the first time on American soil and he did nothing - that's when I realized there was something very very wrong," she added.

    Cho questioned the official story of what happened at the Pentagon, asking why so much footage of the twin towers being attacked was available in comparison with not even a clear picture of what occurred at the Pentagon - a far more sensitive and symbolic target.

    "Why are they not focusing on that?  What are they hiding?" asked Cho, "Of course it's going to be monitored from every angle at every second and yet we have no footage of it - it's very mysterious."

    Cho said that there was usually a conspiracy behind every major event in American history and that when the conspiracy behind 9/11 was fully uncovered, people were going to be very angry.

    The actress said that many of her Arab-American friends doubted the organizational skills of Al-Qaeda in being able to pull off the terror attacks and questioned the plausibility of the passengers on the plane not fighting back against the hijackers. " http://www.prisonplanet.com

  • Interview aired on The Alex Jones Show 10/29/07: 

    "Award winning actor Mark Ruffalo says he is "baffled" at the collapse of the twin towers and Building 7 on 9/11 and has called for re-opening the investigation into the attacks, joining Martin Sheen in publicly doubting the government's official story.

    Ruffalo's notable film roles include Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Academy Award-nominated 2000 film You Can Count on Me and most recently, 2007's Zodiac. He is a vocal critic of the Iraq war having appeared on Democracy Now and spoken at the October 2006 World Can't Wait protest in New York City.

    In an interview with We Are Change L.A. at an anti-war rally in Los Angeles this past weekend, Ruffalo said he was "baffled" with how the twin towers and Building 7 came down, but cautioned that so much information had been put out that the truth had been "stretched" and that too many people were being distracted by the more "sensational" aspects of some claims made about 9/11 that were being fostered to "discredit the movement."

    Ruffalo also slammed the 9/11 Commission Report. "The fact that the 9/11 investigation went from the moment the planes hit to the moment the buildings fell and nothing before and nothing after I think makes that investigation completely illegitimate," said Ruffalo.

    "If you're gonna do a crime investigation, you have to find motive....and we didn't follow that, it was quickly pushed away," he added.

    Ruffalo concurred that the immediate interference in the crime scene as well as the initial appointment of Henry Kissinger to head the 9/11 Commission were obvious signs that the investigation was compromised, mandating a re-opening of the inquiry." http://www.prisonplanet.com

    The Reflecting Pool is an intense, sobering investigation into the most controversial tragedy of our time. Drawn from established sources and based on verifiable facts, The Reflecting Pool is a thought-provoking study of a search for truth and the profound consequences of not looking for it any further than the nightly news.

    The Reflecting Pool is the first investigative drama to present these issues in the spirit of such films as All the President’s Men and JFK."

    "It's time to tell a story like this; the initial shock of the tragedy and the co-opted invasion of Iraq made it taboo for many to even question what really happened. Too painful and disturbing. The country was in shock. But now, after nearly five years of controversial war, we have gained new perspective and can ask hard questions," said Joseph Culp. http://www.reflectingpoolfilm.com

    Heather Thomas:  I'm going to go this far: There was no fuselage at the Pentagon.  There was none that you could check out.  They said it vaporized, and yet they produced bodies saying that they didn't vaporize.  You can vaporize a two-ton engine?  I don't think so.  And a lot people say they closed the Twin Towers for weekends on end (directly before 9/11) and wouldn't even let the security people in there (because they were setting it up for demolition.)  You can listen to this stuff, the knowledge is out there.  You can see the pictures of the Pentagon (destruction).  It's a solid hole.  No airplane does damage like that.  It was a bomb.

    I believe that what happened on September 11th was a crime against the American people and should have been pursued by law enforcement in a rational way.  Then we would have Osama bin Laden -- if in fact Osama bin Laden is responsible -- behind bars.

    It was used as an excuse for a coup -- the second in my lifetime, the first one being at the death of JFK.  This is the second coup, the destruction of American democracy.  We need the men who have perpetrated this coup behind bars where they belong, as a lesson to other despots, that they cannot behave this way.  http://suicidegirls.com

  • Co-narrator of the documentary Zero: An Investigation Into 9/11  10/26/07:

    " 'Bullshit invented by a general' is how Nobel Prize winner for Literature Dario Fo describes the official version of the attacks on the Twin Towers.  The actor and director is convinced of this version of events in no uncertain terms, and this version is told in Zero: An Investigation Into 9/11, the documentary by Claudio Fracassi and Francesco Trento, which has been submitted to the Rome film festival.

    Fo, with Lella Costa, Moni Ovadia and Gore Vidal, is one of the narrators of the film, which is not fiction, and is the result of an investigation by Giulietto Chiesa [Member of Parliament of the European Union], that provides witness accounts and reconstruction of events which cast doubt on the official version of 9/11 provided by the USA. ...

    The playwright explains "The authors of Zero did not begin the project with preconceived ideas but instead created the documentary based on the truths that emerged.  What they ask of you is to watch the film critically."

    Fo says, "As far as 9/11 is concerned, some of the situations we have been told are not only unlikely but also grotesque.  They sound like a General's bullshit, who is normally capable of very crooked inventions, also thanks to the funny cap he wears".  He also added, "Ever since Kennedy's murder I have used the unlikely explanations given by the US Government on some events as material for four of my shows; they are sometimes really an insult to people's intelligence." http://www.agenziaradicale.com

– Emmy Award-winning actor, narrator, and author.  Acted in over 90 films and has narrated over 120 documentaries.  Author of the memoir, Sleeping Where I Fell (2004).

  • Interview with Paul Thompson, author of The Terror Timeline; A Comprehensive Chronicle of the Road to 9/11 2/10/07:

    Peter Coyote:  As the Village Voice newspaper puts it, Paul Thompson's Timeline is based on public documentation of what we know.  It almost has to be taken more seriously than the 9/11 Commission Report because it's open.  There's nothing secret here. ...

    When did you first get the idea that maybe these weren't casual mistakes that were going on; that information was actually being suppressed?

    Paul Thompson: Well, like I said, my first reaction was finding these articles that I found were really fascinating coming out in reputable newspapers but really getting buried.  I think that the problem first began with the media coverage. ...  People were getting a really skewed view of events. ... There really wasn't that kind of critical analysis, I think, to really ask "Why did these attacks happen?", "Why were they successful?" and all the way until today I don't think we've really had that conversation as a nation.

    Peter Coyote: ... Why do you think the administration has tried so hard to prevent an investigation?

    Paul Thompson: ... As we've seen in the film [9/11: Press for Truth] there are quite a lot of things that don't look good for the Bush Administration. ...

    Peter Coyote: ... According to a July poll, this year [2006], conducted by Scripps News Service, 1/3 of Americans, 1/3, think the government either carried out the 9/11 attacks or intentionally allowed them to happen in order to provide a pretext for war in the Middle East. ...

    Paul Thompson: Another study, I would also point out, came out recently, another poll is, I think, only 16% of the people when polled pretty much agreed with the U/S government view of what happened on 9/11, for instance the attacks basically couldn't be stopped, and so forth.   So, you have almost 85% of the people have some level of doubt about that story. ...

    Peter Coyote: Is it possible that the administration and the government and the media are serving a deeper purpose that perhaps the people themselves don't really want to know? ...

    You found lots of links between the administration and the Saudis and the bin Laden family.  And I can remember a story about a certain number of Arab being spirited out of the country on a CIA plane.  And business relationship between the Bushes and bin Laden.  How did you discover this stuff and why do you think the leads were not followed?

  • Member: Political Leaders for 9/11 Truth Association Statement:

    "Scholars and professionals with various kinds of expertise---including architects, engineers, firefighters, intelligence officers, lawyers, medical professionals, military officers, philosophers, religious leaders, physical scientists, and pilots---have spoken out about radical discrepancies between the official account of the 9/11 attacks and what they, as independent researchers, have learned.

    They have established beyond any reasonable doubt that the official account of 9/11 is false and that, therefore, the official “investigations” have really been cover-up operations.

    Thus far, however, there has been no response from political leaders in Washington or, for that matter, in other capitals around the world. Our organization, Political Leaders for 9/11 Truth, has been formed to help bring about such a response.

    We believe that the truth about 9/11 needs to be exposed now---not in 50 years as a footnote in the history books---so the policies that have been based on the Bush-Cheney administration’s interpretation of the 9/11 attacks can be changed.

    We are, therefore, calling for a new, independent investigation of 9/11 that takes account of evidence that has been documented by independent researchers but thus far ignored by governments and the mainstream media."


  • Interviewed on The Alex Jones Show 4/2/08:

    "Appearing on The Alex Jones Show, Ventura said that his initial reaction to 9/11 was much like most people at the time, and he accepted the official story outright, a response he now regrets because he was in a position of power and could have used it to raise a lot of pointed questions.

    "I kicked myself when it initially happened that the light didn't go off but I was so shocked that this thing had even taken place that I apologize for not being more aware," said Ventura, adding that watching Loose Change at the insistence of his son was part of the catalyst for his wake up call.

    Host Alex Jones is executive producer of Loose Change (get it here), the most watched Internet movie of all time. Ventura said he ran through a rollercoaster of emotions when he saw the film.

    "When I finally did watch it I went through every emotion you could imagine, from laughing, crying, getting sick to my stomach, to the whole emotional thing," said the former Governor.

    "To me questions haven't been answered and are not being answered about 9/11," said Ventura, before highlighting the collapse of Building 7, a 47-story tall skyscraper that was not hit by a plane but collapsed in its own footprint in the late afternoon of September 11.

    "Two planes struck two buildings .... but how is it that a third building fell 5 hours later?" asked Ventura, "How could this building just implode into its own footprint 5 hours later - that's my first question - the 9/11 Commission didn't even devote one page to that in their big volume of investigation," added the former Governor.

    Ventura then explored how it was possible that all three buildings could rapidly collapse at almost free fall speed.

    "How could those buildings fall at the speed of gravity - if you put a stopwatch on them, both of those World Trade Center buildings were on the ground in ten seconds - how can that be?" asked Ventura.

    "If you took a billiard ball and dropped it from the height of the World Trade Center in a vacuum it would hit the ground in 9.3 seconds and if you took that same billiard ball and dropped it 10 stories at a time and merely stopped it and started it it would take 30 seconds - if you dropped it every floor of the World Trade Center to the ground, simply stopping and starting it on gravity it would take over 100 seconds to reach the ground," he surmised.

    Having undergone Basic Underwater Demolition Seal training, Ventura is speaking from an experienced standpoint and he unequivocally stated that he thought the buildings were deliberately imploded.

    "Upon looking at the film in super-slow motion and the way the buildings fell and comparing that to the way that they do like a controlled demolition of a hotel in Las Vegas, they both fell identical."

    "I did watch the film of Building 7 going down and in my opinion there's no doubt that that building was brought down with demolition," said the former Governor.

    Ventura also questioned the lack of wreckage outside of the Pentagon after Flight 77 allegedly struck the building.

    "When I was watching Loose Change with a friend of mine - he happens to work for a company that helps build the Boeing airplanes and they said that when the engines completely disappeared and were destroyed, his response was, excuse my French - bullshit!," said Ventura.

    "I turned to him and said why and he said because they're made of titanium steel - they can't disintegrate." http://prisonplanet.com


  • Video interview The Alex Jones Show 9/26/06:

    "The thing I question on 9/11 was simply the fact; where were our planes?  When all this was going on and planes were being hijacked an hour apart and there were four of them  They cover about a six-hour space.  At no time, to my knowledge, did we have any fighter planes up in the air.  Why? ...

    In light of the fact that there was a cover-up that got us into the Viet Nam war and there was, in my opinion, a cover-up of John Kennedy's assassination, I would just say that I don't believe it's beyond reason to not at least consider that the government certainly would do things like that." http://www.infowars.com/articles


  • Interview Black Op Radio 8/20/04:

    "At first, again, I wanted to believe 9/11, you know. But the problem I have with 9/11 is just a real simple one. I'm trying to figure out -- and of course they're now attempting to answer it somewhat -- how we could have failed so miserably in not having air defense. ...

    And the problem I have with 9/11 is that. Where the heck was our defense? Who was sleeping at the wheel? While all of these planes... I mean, I've been to air traffic control when I was Governor, and you've got a dozen people there looking at these dials, watching every plane in their sector. They know where it's going and they know what direction it's supposed to be going

    Now, how is it that these planes were able to be hijacked at half hour intervals, turned directly opposite the way they're supposed to be going and no bells went off, no emergency sirens went off, no fighter jets were scrambled? Just what the hell happened in that area of time?! And that's the part that troubles me about 9/11. ...

    I mean here's the Pentagon, the head of our military. How was this plane able to circle the city of Baltimore [sic] at least once, picking out a target, and then drive into it, and we didn't have -- nothing up in the air? There wasn't one scrambled fighter jet up there to defend in any way, shape, or form?" http://www.libertypost.org

    Esai Morales:  Hi, I'm friends with William Rodriguez.  He heard the explosions before the planes hit   His friend's skin [Felipe David] was hanging off and he had come from the basement.  This is a false flag operation.  It was planned.  It's too many coincidences.

    This is my feeling.  When I saw the buildings go down, I knew something was wrong.  And then when Building 7 went down --  Do you know how long it takes to rig a building?

    "Oh, we decided to pull it."  Thank you Larry Silverstein.  Who's we?  And when you decided to "pull it", how soon afterwards was it down?  So you must have pre-rigged it?  Is that where the CIA and the FBI kept all the information?  Is that maybe the building that had all the evidence of their involvement?    At the scene of a crime, how do you get rid of the evidence and cart it to China?   You know, the molten metal and all that sort of things?  It is a bunch of bullshit.   http://www.youtube.com


  • [Editor's note: WTC Building 7 was 610 feet tall, 47 stories.  It would have been the tallest building in 33 states.  Although it was not hit by an airplane, it completely collapsed into a pile of rubble in less than 7 seconds at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11, seven hours after the collapses of the Twin Towers.  However, no mention of its collapse appears in the 9/11 Commission's "full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks."  Watch the collapse video here.  And six years after 9/11, the Federal government has yet to publish its promised final report that explains the cause of its collapse.]

    Jason Bermas:  What's your view on 9/11?  We've had people like Willie Nelson, Jesse Ventura, Senators, Congressmen come on and doubt the official version.  Do you doubt the official version of 9/11, Tommy?

    Tommy Chong:  Oh, absolutely, absolutely.  There are so many horror stories about 9/11 that have been kept quiet.  It'll be like the Kennedy assassination.  Years later we'll find out the truth.

    Jason Bermas:  What do you think some of the biggest inconsistencies of the official version are?

    Tommy Chong:  Well, the biggest inconsistency is the fact that, "Who was allowed to fly after everything was shut down?"  It was the Bin Laden's. ...

    Tommy Chong:  The powers that be, they're perverting justice. And we get outraged because we believe in the Constitution and all that.  But there was even reports about Pearl Harbor being a setup.  At least they knew that it was coming and they could have done a lot more than what they did to stop it.  But they needed Pearl Harbor in order to launch the bigger war and that was the same as 9/11.  It it wasn't for 9/11, we wouldn't have had Bush in the White House.

    Jason Bermas:  I agree with you there. And then you have the Project for a New American Century, which is this neocon think tank, including Cheney and Wolfowitz, and people like Dan Quayle where they actually call for this "New Pearl Harbor" in a document called Rebuilding America's Defenses, only three months before the [9/11] attacks where they say they need it in order to transform the Middle East or Eurasia

  • Signatory: War Is Illegal Petition 12/07, which states:

    "Against a background of escalating ecological crises, and the fact that large parts of the world´s population are being exposed to extreme poverty, inhuman working conditions and increasing social tensions, the annual global military expenditure has risen to more than 1,000 billion dollars.

    The military-industrial complex of just a few G8 countries is responsible for the overwhelming part of this spending, causing incalculable social and ecological consequences.

    Unequal distribution of global resources, increasingly controlled by large multinational companies, global debt policy and unfair international trading practices ultimately could not be maintained without military security. In many countries the military is used to repress critical opposition.

    The terror attacks of September 11, 2001 are increasingly used to justify systematic surveillance and the dismantling of constitutional rights.  [Bold added for emphasis by Editor of this website.]  Even European countries have helped to establish Guantanomo-like secret prisons, where torture in all probability takes place.

    Iraq was attacked based on falsified evidence causing the death of hundreds of thousands of people, widespread destruction, destabilization and contamination with cancer-causing depleted uranium munitions.

    Now plans to attack Iran and the possibility of a new World War have been made public, meeting resistance even from moderate elements within the military due to the unforeseeable consequences.

    Faced with the choice between a war, that according to some western leaders, will last for many years or a possible peaceful transformation we support the following demands: ...

    International investigation of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.  They are used as the central justification for the "War on Terror", but well documented evidence shows that the official explanation of 9/11 cannot be correct.  International personalities in science, politics, and culture, including high-ranking military veterans, have called for a new investigation.

  • Radio Interview by Carol Brouillet 5/28/07:

    Regarding his experience on September 11 and 12, 2001, while making his documentary on the office of the Presidency, Follow The Leader.

    "What had happened, Carol, to me was that I had wanted to make a documentary on the United States Presidency.  And at the time I decided I wanted to make that film, George Bush was just entering his first term.

    So, I wanted to do a documentary that showed the backstage view of the Presidency; how it operated; how the people around him operated to make his office of the President function.  It's very - it's a brilliant office, you know, if you have the right person in there who is living up to the ideals and morals that the office demands and leads the country in the way that it should be led.

    So, I started to call the White House, and the Secret Service, and some Senators.  And I got a lot of people involved in the film.  And I went to Washington with my partner, Marianne [Quinn], and we made the film. ...

    And it was very successful.  I even did a school tour on it later on.  Toured the country, showed the film talking about what it was like to work in the White House with all these people who played such a big part in history during their President's reign, whoever they were working for.  It was a wonderful film to make.  I totally enjoyed it.  And I did it out of pure patriotism.  I thought the office of the Presidency was great.  I still do.

    And we went, of course, to Washington to make the film.  We were there for many months doing this.  And on 9/11, we had just began -- We decided to do our post-production in Washington DC because I had been promised a sit-down interview with the President three times.  It was always cancelled.  So I said "Let's do the post-production in Washington, that way when the White House calls, I'll still be here and I can go over and do the interview."

    Well, 9/11 happened on the very first day that we started to do our post-produciton.  And, of course, that took care of thinking about doing any interviews with the President at that time.

    But on 9/12, my partner and I, Marianne, went over to the Pentagon.  And I said, "We're not going to be able to get near this. We'll just get to drive by as close as we can.  I just wanted to see it."

    Well, we got closer than I ever thought.  We parked on top of the hill where this apartment building was and we walked down to right at the edge of the freeway.  And right across the freeway was the Pentagon -- the crash site.

    So, I'm standing there looking at it and I'm quiet.  And I didn't say anything.  And -- I don't know after a little while -- I was in shock.  And I turned to Marianne and I said, "Something's really wrong here."  She said, "What?"  And I said, "Well."  I said, "Everything.  The grass isn't scorched.  There's no big hole where this would have impacted.  How come there's all these trees still up?  Lampposts where they shouldn't be are still up."

    The ground wasn't torn up. Not one bit.  The opening where the 757 allegedly hit was ridiculously small.  There was no debris of any sort.  Nothing.  There was nothing there.

    And I said, "How could a 757 have crashed into this building?"  I said, "It's impossible."  I said, "In the first place, we shouldn't even be allowed to be here.  This should be all blocked off as a crime scene, looking for evidence, pieces of the plane."  I said, "Nothing makes sense." ...

    A few days later, I thought, "Wait a minute here.  If the Pentagon was a hoax and a 757 didn't plow into that as they said it did, that whole thing was preconceived.  All of the Pentagon was.  And that would have had to have meant that New York was pre-planned with the same sort of deception that Washington was." starting at 11:10 of second hour at http://mp3.wtprn.com/Brouillet

    What I'm trying to say is that no matter what side you're on, you know and I know we've got some bad weeds in our garden.  You know that.  If they continue to get away with what they're doing, the very people we train to go and kill and destroy, it can create anarchy. http://www.myfoxboston.com

  • Video: "I'm very familiar with the 9/11 Truth movement.  And I'm totally convinced that 9/11 was a fraud.  There's no doubt in my mind about that.  At first I didn't want to believe it.  It's such an ugly thing to believe. ...

    Most people believe that two buildings fell down that day in New York. ... Three buildings went down that day, not two.  And the third building was called Building number 7.  And that was a 47-story office tower.  It was pretty big.  It wasn't as big as the Twins, but it was still enormous.   If you've ever seen the tape of it falling, you realize it's a controlled demolition.  It came straight down.  Like you see those building in Vegas come down. ... 

    He [Larry Silverstein, the building owner] said the Fire Department decided to pull it.  Meaning to bring the building down.  That's what he said.  Now, that was a big mistake on his part.

    If you know anything about controlled demolitions you know for a building that size, it would take weeks, weeks to control demolition that building; to plant explosive on all the floors in all the right places.  You couldn't do it in four or five hours. ...

    So, once you know that, and he admitted it was controlled demolition, then you realize that that building had been set up weeks, for weeks in advance of 9/11 ever happening. ...

    If it was planned weeks in advance, then 9/11, the Twin Towers, was planned weeks in advance. It can't be any other way.  And that's why the official government report of 9/11 never mentions Building 7.  Because they have no explanation. They have no cover story.  The other cover story is, 'Oh, the planes hit it, so it went down', which by the way, can't be either.  But rather than getting into all the details, Building 7 is the obvious answer.  

    So, when you ask me about 9/11 Truth movement, yes, I believe that and I believe it shows how evil and corrupt our government is." At 11:45 of the segment at http://video.google.com/


  • Editor's note: WTC Building 7 was 610 feet tall, 47 stories.  It would have been the tallest building in 33 states.  Although it was not hit by an airplane, it completely collapsed into a pile of rubble in less than 7 seconds at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11, seven hours after the collapses of the Twin Towers.  However, no mention of its collapse appears in the 9/11 Commission's "full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks."  Watch the collapse video here.  And six years after 9/11, the Federal government has yet to publish its promised final report that explains the cause of its collapse.

  • Essay 9/5/06: "Which brings us to 9/11 and its conflicting theories: ...

    [I]t was the Bush Administration that first rolled out its own conspiracy theory: the "Al-Qaeda did it" conclusion. It seemed so obvious. "They" conspired. "They" planned it. "They" hijacked the planes. "They" crashed them into buildings--except when they didn't.

    And the media bought it and recycled this storyline endlessly in print, radio and TV, as part of a relentless scattershot chronicle of demonization filled with contradictions and omissions that at different times included the Saudis, the Pakistanis, the city of Dubai, Saddam Hussein and just about every Immam and Mullah out there. ...

    This is the official narrative repeated without pause, legitimated by the 9/11 Commission, signed, sealed and delivered. It is always offered up as ‘just the facts, ma’am’ "real story" by some self-styled "terrorism expert."

    Yet, as South African writer Nadine Gordimer recognizes, "the facts are always less than what happened."

    Other "facts" soon began dribbling out, unofficial facts to contradict the official ones. They added up to "Inconvenient Truths" as in the gospel according to Al Gore. And suddenly two new theories offered a widely believed "counter-narrative"...

    The first is the incompetence theory ... [F]ailures to act despite as many as 60 warnings, fatally flawed intelligence procedures, agencies not communicating or consciously deceiving each other and themselves, of billion dollar Air Defense Systems not defending the country ...

    Beyond all this is the Bush Did It counter-conspiracy theories propounded in different form on a thousand books, websites, and films like Loose Change that claim to "connect the dots" by identifying the long and nefarious hand of government complicity -- not just duplicity -- behind 911. ...

    It seems clear that even if the government did not prepare 911, they were prepared to use it to political advantage and to have it economically benefit their many donors and "partners." ...

    In the weeks ahead, let us call for the media, that part of it anyway that is least compromised to shed prior assumptions and safe conclusions and become open to investigating all these narratives as some did finally about the phony claims of WMD’s in Iraq. http://www.commondreams.org

  • Personal blog 9/12/06: "[W]here do we find ourselves, and where do we go from here, on the long, confusing, circuitous and still ever-painful path from 9/11?

    To answer that question, we first must come to understand truly what happened in and to America five years ago, how it happened, and — most important – why. ...

    A logical starting point, and something that some family members spoke out for at a recent press conference in Washington, D.C., is to support calls for a new, reopened, and non-partisan investigation. There is little doubt that that the 9/11 Commission Report has become the Warren Commission report of our time – a fatally flawed official examination that ended up raising more questions than it answered, owing to a toxic brew of politics, partisanship, personal agendas and presidential obstruction. ...

    Both [Chairman Thomas] Kean and his Democratic Party counterpart Lee Hamilton now acknowledge that the Pentagon didn't play straight with them, and that they and their fellow commissioners bowed to political pressure when didn't fully question New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani about his management decisions and emergency responses. Other commissioners complained repeatedly about White House obstacles put in their path – yet the commissioners chose to issue their report nonetheless, even in the face of staff objections that there wasn't enough time to follow all leads. The commissioners also allowed the President and Vice President to testify together—and not under oath—and went along with other Administration demands, such as the one that only a minority of the commissioners could see a minority of the documents requested – and even then had to vet their notes with the White House before sharing them with the full Commission! ...

    At the risk of stating the obvious, let me conclude by noting that we can never move beyond 9/11 until we obtain a fuller understanding of the events of that day and what underlies them. And until we have a complete, thorough and non-partisan investigation, that will never happen. We must continue to ‘press for truth’ in connection with the events of September 11, 2001 — for we still don’t know the true ‘path to 9/11,’ and until we do, we can never find the path from 9/11." http://www.roryoconnor.org

  • Signatory: War Is Illegal Petition 12/07, which states:

    "Against a background of escalating ecological crises, and the fact that large parts of the world´s population are being exposed to extreme poverty, inhuman working conditions and increasing social tensions, the annual global military expenditure has risen to more than 1,000 billion dollars.

    The military-industrial complex of just a few G8 countries is responsible for the overwhelming part of this spending, causing incalculable social and ecological consequences.

    Unequal distribution of global resources, increasingly controlled by large multinational companies, global debt policy and unfair international trading practices ultimately could not be maintained without military security. In many countries the military is used to repress critical opposition.

    The terror attacks of September 11, 2001 are increasingly used to justify systematic surveillance and the dismantling of constitutional rights.  [Bold added for emphasis by Editor of this website.]  Even European countries have helped to establish Guantanomo-like secret prisons, where torture in all probability takes place.

    Iraq was attacked based on falsified evidence causing the death of hundreds of thousands of people, widespread destruction, destabilization and contamination with cancer-causing depleted uranium munitions.

    Now plans to attack Iran and the possibility of a new World War have been made public, meeting resistance even from moderate elements within the military due to the unforeseeable consequences.

    Faced with the choice between a war, that according to some western leaders, will last for many years or a possible peaceful transformation we support the following demands: ...

    International investigation of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.  They are used as the central justification for the "War on Terror", but well documented evidence shows that the official explanation of 9/11 cannot be correct.  International personalities in science, politics, and culture, including high-ranking military veterans, have called for a new investigation.

  • Statement to this website 4/7/09: 

    "When I view the images of September Eleventh, I see the aftermath of contained, controlled demolition devices that denuded downtown New York City like a new Nagasaki!  At the end of one day, three meg-skyscrapers had disappeared below ground level, pulverized into toxic dust leaving curiously cut and strangely shaped scrap metal.  Also at the end of that same day, trillions of dollars missing at the Pentagon the day before are forgotten;  the Enron and Worldcom records are tragically destroyed; billions in gold bullion are gone; bits of body parts are found on buildings hundreds of yards away from the epicenter; and the rusted vehicles for blocks around "Ground Zero" remain inexplicable!

    There is a happy ending to this tale, too.  It has been reported all seven buildings were insured in April 2001 by landlord Larry Silverstein through the first ever anti-terrorist insurance policy.  He collected over 2 billion dollars and the right to rebuild the Freedom Towers.  Another happy ending indeed!

    Seven from one blow!  Sept d'un Coup.  Another giant story.

    Past generations of Americans have commemorated those who sacrificed their lives creating historic moments.  We have gone forth into battle crying: "Remember the Alamo!"  Remember the Maine!"  "Remember the Lusitania!"  "Remember Pearl Harbor!"  And more recently we all yelled, "Remember 9/11! 

    We do indeed need to remember September Eleventh, but not for the reason fabricated.  We must remember it because the giants are telling the tales now."

  • Letter to The Guardian 2/13/07: Response to an article by George Monbiot

    "George Monbiot's explicit attack on the film Loose Change has no basis in fact. While we accept that there are flaws in the current version of the film, we stand by its overarching theme that the official "conspiracy" theory of 9/11, constructed in the hours, days, weeks and months after 9/11, is false.

    In uncritically endorsing the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) report, Monbiot neglects to say that the collapse mechanism for the entire World Trade Centre building was never documented by NIST - it didn't see it as its job. Additionally, in accepting that the towers collapsed at virtually free-fall speed ("the weight of the collapsing top storeys generated a momentum the rest of the building could not arrest"), Monbiot shows no awareness that this explanation violates the law of conservation of momentum. ...

    [A]cceptance of the official "conspiracy" theory is not a left or right political issue. It is about whether we should accept unconditionally a story which defeats the laws of physics, denies the abundance of witness testimony, and rejects video evidence put forward by an organisation, which, in hindsight, we know had the means, motive and opportunity, and also has a record of being economical with the truth."  http://www.guardian.co.uk

  • Writer, director, and star of the film, The Reflecting Pool, the first investigative drama to challenge the official version of the 9/11 attacks.

    The Reflecting Pool is an intense, sobering investigation into the most controversial tragedy of our time. Drawn from established sources and based on verifiable facts, The Reflecting Pool is a thought-provoking study of a search for truth and the profound consequences of not looking for it any further than the nightly news.

    The Reflecting Pool is the first investigative drama to present these issues in the spirit of such films as All the President’s Men and JFK.”

    “All of us, from the victims’ families to the troops, to you and me, are still dealing with what happened on 9/11.  The Reflecting Pool is a way of taking stock of what’s happened to our country and do the most American thing of all—ask questions and demand honest answers.” said Director Jarek Kupsc. http://www.reflectingpoolfilm.com


  • Radio interview by Carol Brouillet on We The People Radio Network 8/6/07:

    Regarding his new movie, The Reflecting Pool, a fictional account of characters investigating the events of 9/11.  “The Loose Change documentary which was a big breakthrough for the Movement, 9/11 Truth Movement. … It brought the issue to a much, much, much larger audience.  It’s a great achievement for those guys.  I felt like doing something for the layman and telling a story, creating a couple of characters who go after the [9/11] story. …

    There are two guys, one of whom is a writer, a journalist, who very reluctantly accepts an assignment to do a story on 9/11 and he’s very skeptical.  He doesn't believe the government was behind the attacks.  And he gets a partner, who is a father of a 9/11 victim, who has devoted his life for the past five years to track down the killers; the real killers. … The characters engage in a series of interviews and deal with the most prominent issues that are questionable about 9/11. 

    Hopefully, people will not only appreciate the facts, which are obviously based on our research, but also get into the human element of the story.  What does it take to go after the truth that has been hidden from public view?  What does it take for a victim, for a father of a victim to relive the trauma every time he gets a witness that he interviews or relives the same story over and over again?  What does it take to really be able to convince the readers, or the viewing public that there is something wrong about the official version of the [9/11] event?”  http://mp3.wtprn.com

    "Even the co-chairs of the 911 commission have disowned it. A white wash at the behest of the White House, the 911 report is propaganda by committee, the mere imprimatur of legitimacy to cover up official lies. It is lipstick on a pig. ...

    Watch the trailer: Able Danger. It's the story of the biggest cover up in American, world history. The obvious question -- never asked by the American media -- if Bush's official conspiracy of 911 were, in any way or in any part true, then why has it been necessary to quash all investigations, destroy evidence, in fact, cover up one of the most heinous crimes in world history?"  http://existentialistcowboy.blogspot.com/


  • Online comment 1/18/08:

    "Bush lied and is lying now about 911. The 'official theory' is full of holes and inconsistencies. It is most certainly a lie, a cover story told to hide the 'pipeline' motive for war against Afghanistan and the oil motive for war against Iraq. The Bush administration had all three -- method, motive, opportunity. ... There is probable cause right now to indict George W. Bush, Condo Rice, Colin Powell, Donald Rumsfeld and John Ashcroft for the gestalt of crimes that are called collectively: 911!!!!"  http://www.opednews.com

    "Against a background of escalating ecological crises, and the fact that large parts of the world´s population are being exposed to extreme poverty, inhuman working conditions and increasing social tensions, the annual global military expenditure has risen to more than 1,000 billion dollars.

    The military-industrial complex of just a few G8 countries is responsible for the overwhelming part of this spending, causing incalculable social and ecological consequences.

    Unequal distribution of global resources, increasingly controlled by large multinational companies, global debt policy and unfair international trading practices ultimately could not be maintained without military security. In many countries the military is used to repress critical opposition.

    The terror attacks of September 11, 2001 are increasingly used to justify systematic surveillance and the dismantling of constitutional rights.  [Bold added for emphasis by Editor of this website.]  Even European countries have helped to establish Guantanomo-like secret prisons, where torture in all probability takes place.

    Iraq was attacked based on falsified evidence causing the death of hundreds of thousands of people, widespread destruction, destabilization and contamination with cancer-causing depleted uranium munitions.

    Now plans to attack Iran and the possibility of a new World War have been made public, meeting resistance even from moderate elements within the military due to the unforeseeable consequences.

    "On Behalf of the People of the United States of America, the undersigned Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and affiliates  hereby petition for, and demand, a truly independent investigation with subpoena power in order to uncover the full truth surrounding the events of 9/11/01 - specifically the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7.  We believe that there is sufficient doubt about the official story and therefore that the 9/11 investigation must be re-opened and must include a full inquiry into the possible use of explosives that may have been the actual cause behind the destruction of the World Trade Center Towers and WTC Building 7." http://www.ae911truth.org/joinus.php


  • Editor's note: WTC Building 7 was 610 feet tall, 47 stories.  It would have been the tallest building in 33 states.  Although it was not hit by an airplane, it completely collapsed into a pile of rubble in less than 7 seconds at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11, seven hours after the collapses of the Twin Towers.  However, no mention of its collapse appears in the 9/11 Commission's "full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks."  Watch the collapse video here.  And six years after 9/11, the Federal government has yet to publish its promised final report that explains the cause of its collapse.

  • Online comment 4/8/08:

    "It has been noted that one of two possibilities exists. Either Ted Olsen lied or he was fooled into believing that the voice he heard was really that of his wife. But, does not the FBI’s claim that there NO calls made from Flight 77 prove that he was lying. Of course it makes no difference anyway since the MSM or any politician can be expected to even raise the question. Until Cheney and Bush are examined under oath and confronted with all the contradictions in the official story, there is little chance that we will ever learn the truth." http://niqnaq.wordpress.com

  • Interview The Alex Jones Show 2/4/08:

    Alex Jones:  What's your take on 9/11?  Do you question the official story?

    Willie Nelson:  I certainly do.  And I saw those towers fall and I've seen an implosion in Las Vegas.  There's too much similarities between the two.  And I saw the building fall [Building 7] that didn't get hit by nothing.  So, how naive are we?  What do they think we'll go for?

    Alex Jones:  Are you saying you started having questions -- the little voice in your head -- I mean did you have a bad feeling the day it happened?  Is that what you're saying?

    Willie Nelson:  The day it happened.  I saw one fall and it was just so symmetrical.  I said, "Wait a minute, I just saw that last week at the casino in Las Vegas."  And you see these implosions all the time and the next one fell and I said, "Hell, there's another one."  And they're trying to tell me that an airplane did it?  And I can't go along with that.

    It then cuts to Eminem standing before a wall collaged with newspaper clippings and photos featuring headlines about Bush's foreknowledge of 9/11 (including the famous BUSH KNEW New York Post headline); the civil rights abuses of the PATRIOT Act; maltreatment of soldiers; war profiteering and even the Illuminati's all-seeing eye." http://www.libertythink.com

All they talk about is terrorism on television
They tell you to listen, but they don't really tell you they mission
They funded Al-Qaeda, and now they blame the Muslim religion
Even though Bin Laden, was a CIA tactician
They gave him billions of dollars, and they funded his purpose
Fahrenheit 9/11, that's just scratchin' the surface
Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects ...
Bush knocked down the towers ...

  • Essay: "The following information is intended to clarify exactly what the real story is behind the Bush Administration's so-called "War On Terror," and to shed light on the US-Sponsored, self-inflicted and pre-agreed upon "enemy creation" that led to the attacks on September 11th, 2001. ...

    Understand the label "conspiracy theory" is a tactic that the media often invokes to immediately discredit voices of dissent and people who seek truth.  The tactic of creating manufactured enemies for personal gain has been around for as long as there have been conflicts.  Of course there's no concrete proof of a conspiracy - the media would never allow that - but rather an abundance of evidence that points to a conspiracy on behalf of US interests." http://www.guerrillafunk.com

    Bellamy is convinced the US government knows more information surrounding the attack on their country in September 2001 than the public is aware of.

    The outspoken singer says, "September 11 is clearly an inside job, there's massive evidence that suggests that it was either allowed to happen or even worse, deliberately made to happen.

    "There was a document called Project For The New America Century which was made by neo-Con (right wing) writers in the 90s who supplied most of the agenda that (George W) Bush is putting into place now, which clearly says, 'We need a Pearl Harbor-level of event so we can have an excuse to invade the Middle East." http://www.femalefirst.co.uk

    Tech released the song Bin Laden featuring which is the most blunt, direct song for 9/11 Truth in history.  No one has tackled the topic of 9/11 Truth with more ferocity than Tech.  Tech managed to pull in another prominent hip-hop star into the 9/11 Truth fold, Mos Def, who is featured on the song's chorus.

  • Summary of radio interview with James Fetzer 5/14/06:

    "Blink 182 star Tom DeLonge has followed in the footsteps of Charlie Sheen by becoming the latest celebrity to publicly doubt the official version of events behind 9/11 and voice his belief that the attacks were an inside job.

    DeLonge is the lead singer in Blink 182, a southern Californian punk/pop quartet that has had two US Billboard number one selling albums and whose 1999 album Enema of the State went platinum five times over.

    During a hosting spot on a San Diego’s KAVA-FM radio station, DeLonge talked with Professor James Fetzer about evidence of 9/11 inside involvement.

    "We do know that the buildings came down in a fashion extremely similar to a controlled demolition of a building - we do know that expertise that is needed to fly those gigantic planes into that exact location could never have been achieved by someone that just learned how to fly a small plane, said DeLonge."

    Discussing the failure of NORAD to enact standard operating procedure and intercept the planes and Norman Mineta's testimony about Cheney's orders 'still standing' - DeLonge stated, "Cheney knew that the planes are coming in and he capped the order to leave it alone so it could hit."

    "It's so weird how our own government did it to us, 9/11 was not perpetrated by a bunch of people that just learned how to fly planes," said DeLonge."  http://www.infowars.com

why are they so afraid to answer a few questions?
This story does not add up.

You think we're stupid and there’s no proof

Not by Al Qaeda, not by Bin Laden

    "Petition to Create a NYC Independent Commission with Subpoena Power to Conduct a Comprehensive and Fact-Driven Investigation of All Relevant Aspects of the Tragic Events of September 11, 2001 and Issue a Report.

    WHEREAS, many New York City voters believe that there remain many unanswered questions critical to establishing the truth about all relevant events leading up to, during and subsequent to the tragic attacks occurring on September 11, 2001 (“9/11”), and

    WHEREAS, no prior investigation by any New York City agency or any other governmental entity has resulted in the citizens being provided with those critical answers or information necessary to establish the truth about those tragic events, ...

    An independent, temporary New York City commission (the “Commission”) is hereby created to conduct a comprehensive, factdriven investigation into the events that took place on 9/11, as well as to thoroughly examine related events before and after the attacks, including any activities attempting to hide, cover up, impede or obstruct any investigation into these 9/11 events, following wherever the facts may lead. The Commission shall publish one or more reports of their findings."

  • Statement to this website 4/5/07:

    "The importance of the 9/11 truth movement cannot be overstated.  Like me, millions of patriotic Americans question the official explanation of the attacks.  The questions and the number of citizens asking them will increase until a tipping point is reached and a new, aggressive investigation initiated.

    From this new inquiry truths will emerge which will shake this country to its foundations and, hopefully, restore our constitutional democracy.  Until that happy day arrives, however, the powerful forces aligned against 9/11 truth will fight with fury and abandon.  We must be strong and resolute and take inspiration from apostles of peace like Gandhi and King.  At the most basic level, the struggle is love versus fear.

    As a follower of Jesus, I pray we are witnessing the last days of the corporate imperial war machine, which, desperate for new battles and the energy resources to power itself, finally went too far and self-destructed in an orgy of lies, chaos and death.  This monster’s dying throes will be terrible to behold, but do not doubt the historical significance of the events playing out before us.  Future generations will thank those who had the courage to face the dragon and slay it with the sword of truth.

    As a songwriter, I turn phrases for a living.  I'll leave you with this one:  From seeds of doubt, flowers of truth will sprout.  Be strong, brothers and sisters.  We shall prevail! "

They funded Al-Qaeda, and now they blame the Muslim religion
Even though Bin Laden, was a CIA tactician
They gave him billions of dollars, and they funded his purpose
Fahrenheit 9/11, that's just scratchin' the surface
Bin Laden didn't blow up the projects ...
Bush knocked down the towers ...

  • Interviewed by Matt Cooper on Today FM's Last Word 5/29/08:

    "The catalyst for the War on Terror was 9/11.  And that was the catalyst for the incremental implementation of Draconian measures all across the West, particularly in the U.S. and the U.K.  You've got the Patriot Act – You've got the Patriot Act I and II – Homeland Security bill.  You've also got similar in the U.K. ...

    What is the nexus doorway into the bigger picture is 9/11.  When you study 9/11, it becomes very apparent, once you wade through the dis-info and everything related to that, it becomes apparent that not only it was all not what it seems, but it was a staged terrorist attack.  It's what they call a 'false flag' operation. ...

    Many, many people across the globe believe now that it was carried out by rogue elements within the Bush Neocon administration with the help of the intelligence services.  Overwhelming evidence points to that. ...

    First of all, we're led to believe that 19 hijackers armed with boxcutters, orchestrated by a guy in a cave, carried out 9/11.  Well, as it turns out, none of those 19 hijackers' names were on the passenger manifest of the airplanes.  At least 8 of them have turned up alive, wondering why their names have been associated with this. ...

    But there are so many inconsistencies with this.  It's very important to understand 9/11 because, as I say, it's the nexus doorway into the bigger picture of what is going on and the push towards global governments.

    Look at those buildings as they come down.  They come down at freefall speeds, collapsed neatly into their own footprint.  The cement – everything was absolutely pulverized.  They didn't find a chair.  They didn't find a desk.  So, what caused that?  It couldn't have been jet fuel.  It certainly doesn't burn hot enough to do that.  It must have been explosions."  Beginning at 45:30   http://www.radioireland.ie

  • Interviewed by Nick Margerrison on Kerrang Radio The Night Before 5/29/08:

    "The 9/11 thing; that's one of those completely endless discussions, you know, that you can get into.  And it's all very interesting to me.  You know there's a lot of speculation, of course.  I think there always will be.  I don't think we'll ever get the full information on all of that because there's probably people who don't way you to know everything that you want to know. ...

    I think that at least the Bush administration knew that there was going to be some kind of attack on America.  Cause of -- due to the Presidential Daily Briefing that apparently everyone read but didn't react to.  And I think they perhaps chose to look the other way or stand down to gain entry -- to get attacked and basically green light their agenda that we're enacting now.

    Cause if you look at America's history, if you think about Pearl Harbor or the Viet Nam war, the Gulf of Tonkin, you see that we kind of sometimes egg our way into wars because war makes money.  I think America exists on a war economy.  The economy is the war.  And I really believe that. 

    And you say something like that, believe me, you get a whole lot of hate mail.  I do get it, but I think I'm right."  Beginning at 5:55 of the video at   http://www.youtube.com

  • Article and video BBC 3/2/06:

    "Their 'favourite film' is Loose Change, a 9/11 documentary made by debut filmmakers Dylan Avery, Jason Bermas and Korey Rowe – the latter serving in Afghanistan and Iraq during 2002-3.  It’s by no means perfect.  KRS-One hollering about 'party people' on the soundtrack over footage of the planes hitting the towers is disarmingly inappropriate.  But its intelligent, point-by-point dissection makes a dry counterpoint to the dual dominance of the Fox Networks’ near-hysterical patriotism and Michael Moore’s hugely successful polemicism.  To wit: How could jet fuel vaporise six-tonne titanium engines?  How can you make a cell phone call from 32,000 ft?  Says Liars’ Angus, 'It’s not that we all three unanimously agree with the views expressed in it.  But if you believe just one of the points it’s interesting.' " http://www.bbc.co.uk

    Video of interview:
    Interviewer: Why did you choose this film?

    Angus Andrew: ... When we got ahold of this one film it really put the whole debate in a new perspective for us.  And we were very sort of impacted by it.

    Julian Gross: I think it's also the fact that it's something that is interesting or that should be brought up. I don't know why it's never been brought up anywhere. ...

    Angus Andrew: ... When Julian found this documentary, it just knocked the wind out of me and all my ideas of conspiracy and things like that needed to be rethought.  And I then did the big test, and I took it to my parents ... and I was happy to see that they were equally bowled over.  And so I think it's not only important to be thinking and talking about this 9/11 thing, but equally the idea of conspiracy.  I just think it's this kind of taboo word that maybe should be redefined in these political climates, because, 'Who do you believe?'

  • Statement in support of Architects and Engineers petition:

    "9/11 is the boldest ever attempt to manipulate a democracy and manufacture consent for subsequent policy (Propaganda).

    Following many other suspected 'false flags' the cynicism and scale of this plot is unprecedented, and the entire future of the world and especially the future of democracy revolves around either its success or its exposure.

    Though there are thousands of reasons for doubting the official story of 9/11, these reasons rely on circumstantial evidence/testimony, and while persuasive in their entirety (If a person has time to investigate them), they still lack the swift killer blow of persuasion needed to draw more attention to the issue quickly.

    I believe that the 'freefall / demolition' argument of the Towers, but especially WTC 7 is the quickest and most persuasive evidence that can expose and explain the "plot".

    The problem is attracting attention to the issue and explaining the impossibility of WTC free fall to a public without entry level physics knowledge.

    It is obvious that there are many people / organizations who produce media intent on dissemination and dissuading people from questioning the official story, and the 'battleground' is the media, but you can't argue against 'freefall' if you understand it."  http://www.ae911truth.org

    "Against a background of escalating ecological crises, and the fact that large parts of the world´s population are being exposed to extreme poverty, inhuman working conditions and increasing social tensions, the annual global military expenditure has risen to more than 1,000 billion dollars.

    The military-industrial complex of just a few G8 countries is responsible for the overwhelming part of this spending, causing incalculable social and ecological consequences.

    Unequal distribution of global resources, increasingly controlled by large multinational companies, global debt policy and unfair international trading practices ultimately could not be maintained without military security. In many countries the military is used to repress critical opposition.

    The terror attacks of September 11, 2001 are increasingly used to justify systematic surveillance and the dismantling of constitutional rights.  [Bold added for emphasis by Editor of this website.]  Even European countries have helped to establish Guantanomo-like secret prisons, where torture in all probability takes place.

    Iraq was attacked based on falsified evidence causing the death of hundreds of thousands of people, widespread destruction, destabilization and contamination with cancer-causing depleted uranium munitions.

    Now plans to attack Iran and the possibility of a new World War have been made public, meeting resistance even from moderate elements within the military due to the unforeseeable consequences.

    Faced with the choice between a war, that according to some western leaders, will last for many years or a possible peaceful transformation we support the following demands: ...

While I might have had some dormant skepticism about the official story prior to 2005, it was after the Downing Street Memo, which proved beyond a shadow of doubt that the Iraq War was definitely based on lies, that my 9/11 skepticism came to the surface. After about six months of reading books and examining documentaries (including "rebuttals" to them), I was 100% certain that the official 9/11 story was false.

    International investigation of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks.  They are used as the central justification for the "War on Terror", but well documented evidence shows that the official explanation of 9/11 cannot be correct.  International personalities in science, politics, and culture, including high-ranking military veterans, have called for a new investigation."

  • Essay An unresolved mystery: The mass murder of 9/11 7/29/84:

    "On July 22, 2004, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (a bi-partisan Congressional body) issued its Final Report on the events of September 11, 2001. This document of over 500 pages is posted on the internet. It has been presented as the "unanimous conclusion" of the Commission members on what happened on that day and on the reasons for the failure to prevent the attacks. The Commission exonerates American public officials from any blame for such failure, which according to its Chairman, Thomas H. Kean, resulted from failures of "policy, management, capability and, above all, a failure of imagination".

    Yet, the Commission has studiously disregarded a wealth of evidence, testimonials, contradictions, anomalies and questions, which both independent researchers and families of victims have referred to. The Commission left large areas of inquiry shrouded in mystery.

    The number of anomalies that has been reported by independent researchers regarding 9/11 is staggering. A simple google-search with the string "unanswered questions 9/11" yields over 20,000 sites. These extend to the alleged reasons for the collapses of the two World Trade towers and the lesser known collapse of WTC-7 (which was not hit by an aircraft), the implausibility of a passenger aircraft hitting the Pentagon and disappearing without trace, the alleged shooting down of UA 93 in Pennsylvania, the lack of debris of the crashed planes, the removal and destruction of forensic evidence, the relaxed conduct of various public leaders on the fateful day, prescient remarks by US leaders, and so forth. Many, though not all, of these anomalies are discussed in Prof. David Ray Griffin's book The New Pearl Harbor, published earlier this year. ...

    The above account demonstrates that far from closing the story of 9/11, the report of the Commission of Inquiry may be considered as evidence of a criminal cover-up by the members of the congressional Commission. Such a cover-up may have unforeseeable consequences for the American people as well as for world peace. I appeal to all those who initially felt compassion towards the families of the victims of 9/11: Please do not let these families down in their quest for the truth. They are entitled to know who committed the crimes, who assisted in their commission and in which circumstances their beloved died. We all should insist that the full truth, and nothing but the truth, on the crime of 9/11 be revealed." http://www.globalresearch.ca


  • Signatory of Petition of Solidarity to the Attorney General of New York for a new independent grand jury investigation of 9/11 11/19/04:

    "We the undersigned:  a) think that there is ample evidence and probable cause to believe that many grave and still unresolved crimes were committed by US officials prior to, during and after the events of 9/11;  b) observe that most of these apparent crimes, including but not limited to abetment of mass murder, criminal negligence, insider trading, and obstruction of justice fall well within the jurisdiction of New York's top law enforcement officials ..." http://www.justicefor911.org


  • Member: Scholars for 9/11 Truth  Association Statement: "Research proves the current administration has been dishonest about what happened in New York and Washington, D.C. The World Trade Center was almost certainly brought down by controlled demolitions and that the available relevant evidence casts grave doubt on the government's official story about the attack on the Pentagon."

– Talk show host.  Documentary film producer.  Considered by many to be the grandfather of what has become known as the 9/11 Truth Movement.  In July and August 2001, Jones predicted an impending false-flag terrorist attack in the U.S., conducted by the U.S. government, and that it would be blamed on Osama bin Laden.  He specifically mentioned the World Trade Center and airliners as possible targets.  He implored his listeners and viewers to phone the White House and tell them to call it off.

  • Summary of on-air comments 7/25/01: 

    "During the months of July and August 2001, Alex Jones ran a campaign which he dubbed 'Expose the Government Terrorists' on both his TV and radio shows.  He encouraged people to call the White House and tell them not to go ahead and launch the staged terror attack that would become the foundation of their push for martial law.

    On Wednesday July 25th 2001, during a taping of Alex's local cable access TV show in Austin, Texas, he elaborated on how the Globalists were set to use their operative Osama bin Laden and that the preparations for a terror attack were in their final stages." http://www.prisonplanet.tv


  • CNN Interview 3/23/06:

    "Then you look at the official story the firefighters, the police, hundreds of them, saying there were bombs in the buildings. They were told to shut up.  You look at Building 7, detonators are going off, you can see the explosions. ...

    9/11 was an inside job.  It was a self-inflicted wound." http://www.911podcasts.com

  • Video of speech 6/25/06:

    "Long before 9/11 took place, I was fully aware of the historical fact that governments; western governments, eastern governments, the U.S. government, elements of it, normally small criminal elements, have staged terror attacks or have manufactured different pretexts to invade countries, attack nations,or enslave their own domestic populations with police state measures.  And so, opening this up today, I wanted to talk a little bit about the history of state-sponsored false-flag terrorism. ...

    It's important to understand that the 9/11 Truth movement is mainstream.  We are the mainstream. The scholars, the members of Congress, the former German Defense Minister [Andreas von Buelow], Number 3 in Blair's cabinet [Michael Meacher], members of their Parliament are clearly saying that there's something wrong with the official story of 9/11.

    However you look at 9/11, we know the official story is a fraud from end to end.  Hundreds of discrepancies, hundreds of bald-faced lies." http://video.google.com

  • Documentary The Great Conspiracy: The 9/11 News Special You Never Saw 9/9/04:

    "The events of 9/11 begin with aircraft going wildly off-course.  Incredibly, despite radar tracking for almost two hours, the whole of the mighty US Air Force goes AWOL that morning.  It’s a mind-bending anomaly.  Not a single US Air Force interceptor turns a wheel until it’s too late.  There are no jets at all. It’s a matter of historical record.

    That could happen only two ways.  Either it was staggering multiple simultaneous coincidental incompetence at all levels in many agencies, defying known laws of averages, a 54-million-to-one chance, which is the 9/11 Commission official story. [Or] there’s another explanation: the US Air Force is neutralized by design. The evidence indicates this is about a one-to-one chance. ...

    This, and other overwhelming evidence, ignored or explained away by the 9/11 Commission, which should be called the '9/11 Cover-up Commission,' suggests 9/11 was planned and executed at the highest levels of the US government." http://www.greatconspiracy.ca

    "Now I went to Senator Kerrey [Bob Kerrey, member of the 9/11 Commission] and I said. "Senator --" because he's associated with Air America -- I said, "Senator, are you still believing that there wasn't enough time and enough money to do an investigation?"

    And he said, "Absolutely."

    I said, "Are you calling for a new investigation?"

    And he said, "No, Richard, I am going further than that." He said, "I am calling for a permanent 9/11 Commission."

    And I said, "Senator, is this public? Can I announce that on the air? And are you willing to come on the air and say that?"

    "The 9/11 Commission could not get what it wanted.  60 percent of what it requested of the White House was refused.  Documentation refused.  Requests for information refused by the Bush White House.  And my question is, "What do they have to hide?"  Because if you have nothing to hide, you don't obstruct the investigation into the greatest tragedy in American history. ...

    I have my own opinions, but the only opinion I care to share right now is that there are unanswered questions and that the investigation is not complete. Now why do I say that?  I say that because, as I said yesterday, I have personal knowledge of that fact.  I have personal knowledge in speaking to Chairman Governor Kean of New Jersey, the Chairman of the 9/11 Commission, who said to me, to my face, "There was not enough time.  There was not enough money to do anything further than what we did." i.e "We didn't complete the job."  Commissioner Tim Roemer, a Congressman from Indiana, said to me "There wasn't enough time.  There wasn't enough money. We did the best we could."  And Senator Bob Kerry, who you hear on Air America on Saturdays on occasion, said the same thing, "Well there really wasn't enough time.  There wasn't enough money."

    Well you know what, that was a big event that happened six years ago and dammit, we need to have some questions answered.  And I made a list, so we're going to be talking about that with Lorie Van Auken and Janice Matthews [Executive Director of 911Truth.org] .  We're going to have a statement from Senator Mike Gravel, who is calling for a new investigation.  And we're going to be talking to a bunch of other people."

  • CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight on-air comments 8/19/06:

    Lou Dobbs: Tonight, we're one month away from the fifth anniversary of September 11th.  A shocking new book by the 9/11 Commission co- chairmen, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, says Americans still don't know the whole truth about their government's initial response to those terrorist attacks that day.  Christine Romans has the report.

    Christine Romans: Two hours of chaos and confusion on September 11th, and months of government ineptitude at incorrect testimony.  A new book by 9/11 commission co-chairmen Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton outlines repeated misstatements by the Pentagon and Federal Aviation Administration.

    They write, "Fog of war could explain why some people were confused on the day of 9/11.  But it could not explain why all of the after-action reports, accident investigations and public testimony by FAA and NORAD officials advanced an account of 9/11 that was untrue." ...

    Now, Kean and Hamilton say all the inaccuracies have fueled conspiracy theorists, they've stymied the investigation, and Lou, damaged the credibility of this government.

    Lou Dobbs: Well, this government doesn't deserve much credibility, does it?  In point of fact, if all of the after-action reports are untrue, for whatever reason, that's a lie, because they were asserted as the truth by people who knew better or should have. ...

    Incompetence and ineptitude on the part of this government on September 11th and in the weeks and months leading up to it are established.  The fact that the government would permit deception after a deception, whether honestly, if you can call it that, honestly intended or not.  But the fact that they continue and perpetuate the lie, suggests that we need a full investigation of what is going on and what is demonstrably an incompetent and at worst deceitful federal government.  Christine Romans, thank you very much.  Incredible. http://transcripts.cnn.com

  • Essay Are the Osama Tapes Fake? 1/8/08:

    "Late in December 2007, The Associated Press reporter Salah Nasrawi wrote a story about a Bin Laden audiotape that had just been released. Headlined "Bin Laden Threatens Israel, Warns Iraqis," Nasrawi's piece details Osama's dire threats to expand al Qaeda's jihad in Israel and to "liberate Palestine, the whole of Palestine from the (Jordan) river to the sea," threatening "blood for blood, destruction for destruction."

    Then, 11 paragraphs down, Nasrawi writes: "The authenticity of the tape could not be independently confirmed. But the voice resembled that of bin Laden. The tape was posted on an Islamic militant Web site where al-Qaida's media arm, Al-Sahab, issues the group's messages."

    If the tape can't be vetted, it shouldn't be used. That's Journalism 101. At the very least, the fact that it can't be authenticated should be mentioned in the story's title and continuously mentioned throughout the story as the quotes are being used. Worse, all the mainstream TV outlets picked up on Nasrawi's story and liberally quoted "bin Laden" without bothering to use the word "purported" or another adjective indicating they had no proof it was Bin Laden on the tape. Collectively, what these journalists are doing is worse than outright lying to the public. They are literally helping dangerous people with deadly hidden agendas create a virtual reality by unquestioningly conveying their messages.

    Nasrawi didn't just bury the authentication problem in his story. He also referred to earlier, equally questionable "bin Laden" communiqués. "The tape was the fifth message released by bin Laden this year, a flurry of activity after he went more than a year without issuing any tapes. The messages began with a Sept. 8 video that showed bin Laden for the first time in nearly three years. The other messages this year have been audiotapes."

    Reporting on unauthenticated bin Laden tapes as if they were real is, shamefully, getting to be an old practice. In November 2002, a "bin Laden" audiotape surfaced and a senior State Department official explained to CNN that the voice on the tape was indeed Bin Laden's, but that "we don't know yet whether anybody put it together, spliced or computer-generated it."

    Just how could "anybody" computer-generate bin Laden's voice and create an entire bogus statement?

    On February 1, 1999, William Arkin, writing for washingtonpost.com, described a voice-morphing technology that government scientists at Los Alamos laboratory in New Mexico had developed.

    "By taking just a 10-minute digital recording of Steiner's [Gen. Carl W. Steiner, former Commander-in-chief, U.S. Special Operations] voice, scientist George Papcun is able, in near real time, to clone speech patterns and develop an accurate facsimile," Arkin wrote. "To refine their method, they took various high quality recordings of generals and experimented with creating fake statements. One of the most memorable is Colin Powell stating, "I am being treated well by my captors."

    Arkin also indicated that morphing was not limited to audio, and could be used for some very interesting and disturbing purposes: "Digital morphing -- voice, video, and photo -- has come of age, available for use in psychological operations. PSYOPS, as the military calls it, seek to exploit human vulnerabilities in enemy governments, militaries and populations to pursue national and battlefield objectives."

    Arkin's article inspired me to dig a little more into the bin Laden tapes.

    I decided to compare this video of Osama that al Jazeera released on December 27, 2001 with other Bin Laden videos. [Editor's note: That video has been removed. Another partial copy of it can be found here.] The December 27 video is not dated, but it provides an up-close, in-focus look at the guy we all recognize as Osama from many previous photos. Now (dear reader, you're going to have to do a little work here), compare that to a tape that the U.S. government released on December 13, 2001 [see CNN footage in "Loose Change" documentary at 1:14:25 into the program]. The tape, ostensibly shot on November 9, 2001, is of very poor quality -- dark and out of focus with fuzzy audio. One can't positively ID the man who is supposed to be Osama in this tape. And curiously, this alleged bin Laden is seen writing with his right hand. According to the FBI, bin Laden is left-handed.

    In the November 9 tape, the purported bin Laden says things such as, "We calculated in advance the number of casualties from the enemy, who would be killed based on the position of the tower," and "Due to my experience in this field, I was thinking that the fire from the gas in the plane would melt the iron structure of the building and collapse the area where the plane hit and all the floors above it only. This is all that we had hoped for." He also says that, "Mohammed Atta was in charge of the group."

    When the U.S. State Department released the tape, one BBC reporter prudently used quotation marks in this headline, "Tape 'proves bin Laden's Guilt'," before quoting President Bush and then-British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw saying that the tape was proof of Osama's guilt. "But the BBC's Middle East correspondent, Frank Gardner," adds the BBC reporter, "says that at street level in the Arab world, many believe the tape is a fake, a PR gimmick dreamed up by the US administration. And the defence minister of the ousted Taleban [sic] regime in Afghanistan told the BBC that he was doubtful about its authenticity, saying it was unlikely that Bin Laden would have been naïve enough to say such things on a recording."

    It is hard to imagine a mainstream American TV reporter calling a former Taliban defense minister for a comment on anything. Yet running to President Bush for the truth hasn't always worked out for certain high-profile journalists either.

    Unlike the BBC, CNN expressed no doubts about the December 27 tape's authenticity: [Editor's note: This should refer to the November 9 tape released by the U.S. government on December 13, 2001.] "Osama bin Laden recounts with delight the September 11 terrorist attacks against the United States as he talks with associates on a videotape released Thursday by the Bush administration." And further down, this: "The Bush administration hopes the tape will convince skeptics, particularly in the Muslim and Arab worlds, of Bin Laden's complicity in the attacks."

    A few months earlier -- six days after 9/11 to be exact -- CNN reported that Bin Laden had sent a statement to Al Jazeera denying that he had been involved: "The U.S. government has consistently blamed me for being behind every occasion its enemies attack it... I would like to assure the world that I did not plan the recent attacks, which seems to have been planned by people for personal reasons." [September 17, 2001].

    The FBI says it has no hard evidence that Bin Laden participated in 9/11. That's what the FBI's Rex Tomb told Muckraker Report's Ed Haas. The FBI doesn't want Osama for 9/11. They want him in connection with the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, which killed more than two hundred people.

    Turning back to those tapes one last time, there are other troublesome videos, including two mentioned in an October 29, 2007 MSNBC story, "Was Bin Laden's Last Video Faked?". The story has to do with two videos, one released on September 7, 2007 and another released about three years earlier on October 29, 2004. Oddly, the man in both (fuzzy, of course) tapes looks exactly the same -- sitting in front of the same background and wearing the same clothes--except that in the later one, the purported Osama's beard appears younger with a beard that seems to have been dyed black. Experts are asked for their opinions and they can't say for sure what exactly is up with the tapes. Then the requisite "senior US intelligence officer" is asked the requisite question about the October 2007 tape's authenticity and the officer gives the requisite response, saying he "believes" the tape is new, but he can't discuss why. Another "even more senior intelligence officer" says he doesn't think the black beard in the new tape is fake, but again, he won't say why. I think it's time reporters stop giving passes to sources such as these. If they can't back up their statements, don't quote them. The secrecy and lack of transparency everywhere in government have reached absurd levels and journalists should fight both hard at every turn. In this case, find other, better sources that are willing to talk. They exist.

    MSNBC does get points for raising the question. But excellent journalism would involve pursuing the matter until definitive answers on the provenance and authenticity of the tapes were found.

    These details boil down to two things. One, all the unauthenticated audiotapes and fuzzy videos look and sound suspicious. Two, there hasn't been any clear, up-close, "look at me, I'm alive" videos of Bin Laden for years. The journalism community would do well to wonder why -- and then move forward aggressively from there. The American public needs to know what's going on here."  http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/contributors/1489

    Jeff Goldblatt:  I wanna get quickly to Chris Chaniki he's a photographer with the Pittsburgh affiliate a Fox affiliate. He was back there just a couple minutes ago and Chris, I've seen the pictures, it looks like there's nothing there, except for a hole in the ground.

    Chris Chaniki:  Basically that's right, the only thing you can see from; where we were was a big gouge in the earth, and some broken trees. You could see some people working, walking around in the area, but from where we could see there wasn't much left.

    Jeff Goldblatt:  Any large pieces of debris at all?

    Chris Chaniki:  No, there was nothing. Nothing, that you can distinguish that a plane had crashed there.

    Jeff Goldblatt:  Smoke, fire?

    Chris Chaniki:  Nothing, it was absolutely quiet, it was actually very quiet. Nothing going on down there, no smoke, no fire, just a couple of people walking around. They look like part of the NTSB crew. Walking around, looking at the pieces.

    Jeff Goldblatt:  How big would you say that hole was?

    Chris Chaniki:  Ah, from my estimates, I would guess it was probably around 20 to 15 feet long, and probably about 10 feet wide.

    Jeff Goldblatt:  What could you see on the ground, if anything, other than dirt and ash and ... ?

    Chris Chaniki:  You couldn't see anything. You just see dirt, ash and people walking around, broken trees.

  • Editor's note: United Flight 93 was a Boeing 757-220 with a wingspan of 124 feet and a height of 44 feet. Its weight, exclusive of fuel, was approximately 130,000 pounds. It would have been carrying several thousand gallons of jet fuel. Mr. Chaniki and Mr. Goldblatt's live, on-the-scene report of a single small "gouge in the earth" with no smoke or fire is is inconsistent with the size of the airplane and the amount of fuel it was carrying. Additionally, many aircraft accident investigators seriously doubt that the debris resulting from the impact of such a large aircraft would contain no large pieces. For more information on the impact at Shanksville, PA, see Edie Magnus' live, on-the-scene report and Colonel George Nelson, Commander Ralph Kolstad.

  • NBC live reporting from the Flight 93 impact site on 9/11/01:

    "The debris here is spread over a three to four mile radius, which has now been completely sealed off, and is being treated, according to the FBI, as a crime scene. ...

    This is one of those cases where the pictures really do tell the story that, sort of, the most horrifying aspect of this particular crash scene is how little debris is visible. There is a large crater in the ground. And I'm hoping that you all are seeing it as I'm talking about it. But that's really all you see is just a large crater in the ground, and just tiny, tiny bits of debris. There has been at least one report that the investigators out there, and there are hundreds of them, as I've said tonight, have found nothing larger than a phone book." Beginning at 28:37 of the video at http://www.archive.org/details/nbc20010911


  • Editor's note: Ms. Magnus' live, on-the-scene report of debris scattered over a three- to four-mile radius is at odds with the official account of 9/11, which claims the Flight 93 aircraft was essentially entirely buried in the ground in a single crater. Additionally, many aircraft accident investigators seriously doubt that the debris resulting from the impact of such a large aircraft would contain no large pieces. Flight 93 was a Boeing 757-220 with a wingspan of 124 feet and a height of 44 feet. Its weight, exclusive of fuel, was approximately 130,000 pounds.

  • Interview by Jürgen Elsässer 1/15/07:

    "One should not put the blame for everything on Osama bin Laden. He certainly did not organize the September 11 attacks. He certainly did not have in his Afghan cave the flight plans from the USA to coordinate it. And if he is still alive today, he cannot use a telephone, or fax or the Internet, if he doesn't want to be located immediately. How can he organize terror from there?"
    Original in German http://www.linksfraktion.de


  • Zwischen den Fronten (Between the Fronts) by Peter Scholl-Latour 2007:

    "It is also worth noting the precise implementation of this suicide mission [9/11]. Under the impact of the two planes the monumental skyscrapers fell down almost precisely vertically, and it happened like they were carefully prepared as if for demolition of a dilapidated building. The surrounding area remained largely spared. ... [Page 50]

    "When will German politicians abandon the proven false arguments that the precise planning, precise execution of 9/11 were done in the caves of Afghanistan? Granted, it may be that Osama bin Laden, who until 1991 was an active recruiting agent of the CIA in this region, after his sudden, religiously motivated turnaround against the U.S. ordered the mission for the destruction of the World Trade Center. But that could have been ordered from any point on the Earth. In the many al-Qaida camps in Afghanistan nothing more took place than basic infantry and rudimentary instructions on how to build explosives. The special training of the mainly Saudi suicide pilots took place exclusively in the U.S., and only there could the suicide pilots obtain and coordinate the flight plans, which gave them the schedule." [Page 348]


  • Interview Neue Presse, Hannover 6/9/06 as reported at NGO-Online:

  • Interview by Cerno Jobatey on ZDF-Morgenmagazin (German public television) 11/28/02:

    Peter Scholl-Latour: The "War on terror" is a phantom war. And when we say we are in a war against terror - so much of which didn't really happen ... The tragedy of the World Trade Center happened [9/11], and now we are told Al Qaeda is behind every attack that takes place. ...

    Cerno Jobatey: Don't you believe that? Don't you believe that Al Qaeda was [responsible for 9/11]?

    Peter Scholl-Latour:  No, Al Qaeda doesn't have the central organization. I was recently in Afghanistan and everyone swore to me they hadn't even heard of the name "Al Qaeda" before 9/11.

    Cerno Jobatey: This narrowing of focus onto Al Qaeda - It leads to no solution? Do I understand you correctly?

    Peter Scholl-Latour: There is no solution for the war [on terror].

  • Essay Even I Question the 'Truth' about 9/11 8/25/07:

    "I am increasingly troubled at the inconsistencies in the official narrative of 9/11. It's not just the obvious non sequiturs: where are the aircraft parts (engines, etc) from the attack on the Pentagon? Why have the officials involved in the United 93 flight (which crashed in Pennsylvania) been muzzled? Why did flight 93's debris spread over miles when it was supposed to have crashed in one piece in a field? ...

    I am talking about scientific issues. If it is true, for example, that kerosene burns at 820C under optimum conditions, how come the steel beams of the twin towers – whose melting point is supposed to be about 1,480C – would snap through at the same time? (They collapsed in 8.1 and 10 seconds.) What about the third tower – the so-called World Trade Centre Building 7 (or the Salomon Brothers Building) – which collapsed in 6.6 seconds in its own footprint at 5.20 pm on 11 September?  Why did it so neatly fall to the ground when no aircraft had hit it?  The American National Institute of Standards and Technology was instructed to analyse the cause of the destruction of all three buildings. They have not yet reported on WTC 7. ...

    Let me repeat. I am not a conspiracy theorist.  Spare me the ravers.  Spare me the plots. But like everyone else, I would like to know the full story of 9/11, not least because it was the trigger for the whole lunatic, meretricious "war on terror" which has led us to disaster in Iraq and Afghanistan and in much of the Middle East."  http://news.independent.co.uk


  • Editor's note: WTC Building 7 was 610 feet tall, 47 stories.  It would have been the tallest building in 33 states.  Although it was not hit by an airplane, it completely collapsed into a pile of rubble in less than 7 seconds at 5:20 p.m. on 9/11, seven hours after the collapses of the Twin Towers.  However, no mention of its collapse appears in the 9/11 Commission's "full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks."  Watch the collapse video here.  And six years after 9/11, the Federal government has yet to publish its promised final report that explains the cause of its collapse.

  • Essay 9/11 and the Great American Decline 9/10/08:

    "So, what do you think will happen now?" The question was posed by the taller of two young Israelis, my sole companions in this section of Liberty State Park on the Jersey City side of the Hudson River, the morning of September 11, 2001.

    "Everything has changed," I replied, unaware that the same phrase was simultaneously forming on the lips of millions around the globe.

    "Yes, everything has changed," said the Israeli, looking not at all displeased. He turned to resume taking photos of the great smoking space that had been the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, and of the huge, low cloud that drifted across New York Bay to Brooklyn.

    My fellow witnesses to the collapse of the second tower were already positioned at the riverbank when I arrived at the scene on foot after having rushed past police who blocked all vehicular entrance to the park. The athletic, military age duo were clicking away with two very expensive-looking cameras. They spoke excitedly to each other in Hebrew - a language I instantly recognized from my two decades as a Manhattanite - but clumsily claimed to be "Polish" when I asked where they were from. I pretended to believe they were visitors from Poland.

    Informed that I was a reporter, the taller, more gregarious one laughed giddily and exclaimed, "Yes, we are reporters, too!" He opened an attaché case to display two laminated New Jersey press cards that looked just like mine - except they were the wrong color. He cheerfully admitted the press cards were phony. "They are easy to make," he said, still laughing.

    Their new-smelling car was parked nearby; it was the only vehicle in the lot, since the young men had clearly arrived before the police sealed the entrances to the park. When we were done gawking at the awful hole in the skyline across the river, the visitors allowed me to hitch a short ride home. As the day unfolded, news reports told of other, small groups of Israelis positioned at vantage points on the Jersey side of the Hudson. Some behaved shamelessly, loudly welcoming the new era in which "everything has changed."

    My own theory is that my companions were probably senior students in a graduating class of one or another Israeli intelligence agencies. Co-ed groups of military-age Israelis pretending to be students of a non-existent Tel Aviv "arts school" had earlier that year been caught attempting to visit - "infiltrate" - sensitive U.S. security sites, as authoritatively reported at the time by a number of corporate media outlets.

    At the very least, Israel knew something was up, and arranged for their graduate-spies to be witnesses to history. ...

    The Bush gang could no more conceal their excitement at the possibilities now opened to them by mass murder at the Twin Towers, than could my Israeli interlocutors at Liberty State Park. 9/11 was wielded as a kind of weapon to take down the planet, justification for a final assault on international order, itself.

    In its convulsive "response" to 9/11 - the worldwide "War on Terror" - the United States seized the opportunity to put in motion planetary aggressions that already existed in the blueprints of the neo-con's Project for a New American Century (PNAC). In effect, Washington was claiming revenge as the motive for crimes that it had long been planning to commit. Precise causality for the specific events of 9/11 becomes near-irrelevant, submerged in the much larger aggression that was conceived long before the towers fell."   http://www.blackagendareport.com

  • Essay Get The Truth 9/02: 

    "Truth may have been the casualty of war in former ages, but this war is different. While major media busy themselves waving flags, a global network of independent journalists, who have no interests to protect, no secrets to hide are tracking and documenting its development on a daily basis. ...

    Using and sharing only published and sourced news stories from world media, and official documents of various governments either leaked or available under freedom of information acts, these journalists have assembled a disturbing picture, which suggests CIA foreknowledge and complicity of highly placed officials in the U.S. government around the attacks on the World Trade Center Sept. 11. ...

    Ironically, the stock market was also warning anyone who cared to notice that something peculiar was afoot: in the week prior to Sept. 11, unknown speculator(s) were suddenly betting that the stocks of United Airlines and American Airlines were going to fall in value; the trades were placed through Deutschebank/AB Brown, a firm formerly managed by Buzzy Krongard, now executive director of the CIA.

    So far, no one has been bold enough to claim $2.5 million in profits. No serious search for the speculator is under way. ...

    If the work of Internet journalists is correct, then the war is neither a holy war, not a grand clash of civilizations between East and West, and our soldiers were lost to us and to their families to keep drugs and oil profits flowing in the U.S.

    Until we know the truth, we should refuse to add one more Canadian body to the pile of dead in Afghanistan. Not one. Canada should get the truth or get out." http://www.standup2harper.com

    "One of the things that jumped out at me when I looked at the footage of the video of Flight 175 as it went into the World Trade Center is it appeared to me that there was something on the underfuselage of that aircraft that did not belong there, at least not with a commercial airliner.

    Now, I'll tell you where I have seen attachments that look like that -- on military aircraft.  So the question we have to answer now is, 'Was that the commercial airliner that hit the World Trade Center or possibly was it an aircraft that looked very similar but was a military-type airplane?' ..."  at 10:05 of the video

    Regarding the five still photos of the Pentagon impact released by the Department of Defense. "And I looked at the little silvery object.  And obviously there's no markings to be seen.  There's no photographs of any of the corporate emblem or the tail number.  And we've never found any airplane parts.  I just found that fascinating. 

    And I can't imagine a pilot so talented that he could breach Washington air space after the World Trade Center was hit two times.

    And then all this time goes by, we're staring at the World Trade Center 1.  We see 20 minutes later the second tower hit.  And then we see 20 minutes later the Pentagon's hit. But we never, ever find any airplane parts.

    This pilot would have to make such an angled, heavy 280 degree  maneuver at 500 miles an hour, keep it just barely off the ground, and then slam it right into the Pentagon.  It's just --- it's a stunning story. Really. ...

    I want to just remind you who the pilot was -- supposedly -- of Flight 77 and I don't mean the real pilot, I'm talking about the guy who is purported to have flown the aircraft into the Pentagon, making this unbelievable angled maneuver. ... 

    Hani Hanjour is supposedly the pilot of Flight 77. He takes it over from the actual pilots, right. Well here's a little background on Hani Hanjour. He trained in Arizona.  He trained at a school called JetTech. ... They do notify the FAA that he lacks both English and flying skills necessary for the commercial pilot's license that he already has. ... And a JetTech Flight School manger couldn't believe that he had a commercial license of any kind with the skills that he had.  And a former employee of JetTech tells the New York Times in 2002, "I am still to this day amazed that he could have flown into the Pentagon.  He couldn't fly, at all". ...

    Something's is really wrong with our response on this.  NORAD, I don't know if they were given a stand down order. ...

    I don't want to say it, but it looks to me like a missile." http://media.putfile.com

  • Heather Mallick's speech at the Mel Hurtig Annual Lecture on the Future of Canada 10/4/07:

    Question: Why are we accepting what the American government is telling us happened on September 11, 2001, at face value when it's all over the Internet that it couldn't possibly have happened without help from the inside, especially the Building called Number 7, that fell for no reason at all?

    Heather Mallick: It's very interesting because even Seymour Hersh, who I trust more than any journalist in the world, says, "I don't know what happened on 9/11. I'm not sure." But I think the main reason why we accept that version is because there's nobody out there in mainstream journalism giving us any information on that. We're just told what governments and corporations want us to hear. We rely on corporate sources of information. In Canada, our newspapers are owned by -- For example the Globe and Mail is owned by CTV. Global owns newspapers published across the country. I still can't believe that that is true. It's shocking to me. But you're never going to get alternative views of current affairs and of history as long as the means of transmitting information is so corporately owned.

  • Article The Guardian 9/11/01: 

    "Stephen Evans, the BBC's business and economics correspondent in North America, was sitting in the foyer of the World Trade Centre as the two aeroplanes crashed into the twin towers in the worst terrorist attack ever.

    "I was on the ground floor of the building sitting in a chair waiting for somebody to turn up as you do," said Evans.

    "There was huge bang. It felt to me like somebody dropped a skip full of rubbish, a great container full of rubbish, from a great height in the yard which separates the two huge towers which are the World Trade Centre.

    "It's one of those where you think, well something's happened on a building site

    "But seconds later, there were two or three similar huge explosions and the building literally shook." http://media.guardian.co.uk


  • Video interview BBC 9/11/01: Stephen Evans was being interviewed at the initiation of the collapse of WTC South Tower

    "There was another big, big explosion in the other tower.  [Apparently referring to the second airplane impact into WTC South Tower]  Flames coming out.  This billowing gray smoke.  People still not panicking.  People not quite understand what was going on.  Then somebody said that they saw an airliner go into one of those towers.  Then, I don't know, an hour later than that, we had that big explosion, from much, much lower.  I don’t know what on earth c
