Anyone know of a solid 911 fact sheet

I am doing a nvq diploma related to my job but also have to do a core skills course, too

I have 3 assignments, for my next core skills session, and 1 of them is a presentation for a subject of my choosing, which I thought, I would do on 911 conspiracy

I have read a number of david ray griffin books, sander hicks and seen all sorts of bits and pieces/dcoumentaries but am wondering about a disitllation fact sheet, I could use to support my overview

if anyone could help with any links it would be much appreciated

Hi,

S&F.

The only "FACT" you need to know about 9/11 - about the entire thing - is that 9/11 was an INSIDE JOB!

That is the "ONLY" thing that matters!

It doesn't matter Why? (answer = to wake everyone up/excuse for war on Terrorism/to publicly implement their New World Order take-over).

It doesn't matter How? NEXUS magazine: 11th of September - the third truth.

The FACT is "THEY DID IT!" - their NWO take-over its HAPPENING right before our eyes!!



NEXUS MAGAZINE DID ONE "MAJOR" 9/11 ARTICLE... IT GIVING AN "OVERVIEW OF THE ELITES REASONS FOR CARRYING OUT 9/11"...AND IT GAVE A "BLOW-BY-BLOW ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT DAY".
I TRUST IT. YOU SHOULD USE THE NEXUS 9/11 ARTICLE AS THE "SOURCE" AS THE SOLE "FOUNDATION" OF YOUR STUDY... ANYTHING THAT NEXUS MAGAZINE REFERS YOU TO IS OKAY TO USE... (I cannot trace the article that was their major 9/11 article but I'm sure if you email Nexus magazine they will tell you which one it was. You can buy article as a download or full magazine hardcopy - www.nexusmagazine.com/ )

The following article is fine to use in your studies (and for 9/11 leads)...

THE HOAX OF 9/11 AND THE CHANGING TIDE OF HISTORY
By Michael W. Mandeville
Increasing numbers of anti-war and 9/11 Truth Movement activists are exposing the lies perpetrated by sinister forces in the Anglo-American-Zionist establishment who are alleged to be behind a series of terrorist plots.

Good Luck with your studies!

I don't disagree dude but this is a presentation so although I will strongly present, the case, I am looking to do that from the letting the anomoalies/distortions/etc lies/testimony to speak for themselves, hence a factsheet, that distilled the main points

I have overdosed on 911 reading and viewing and am looking to capture the overview the best I can

thank you for your response and assistance

i suggest that you visit wtc7.net. It is very informative.

It depends on what kind of "facts" you're looking for. If you're looking for "facts" to prove this inside job baloney then you might as well take your pick from any of the goofball accusations from lasers from outer space to secret controlled demolitions to hologram planes to nukes in the basement to secret cults of Satan worshippers. All the truthers are doing is making up whatever "facts" they need back their claims up regardless of what the truth actually is and regardless that they're even contradicting each other. They've been pushing so much junk science with "explosive thermite" and "dustification of steel" and "violations of conservation of momentum" that it's like being at a science fiction convention.

Here's a thought- what say you actually start with the 9/11 commission report? If you're going to be jumping down this rat hole of conspiracies withing secret plots within coverups then it's you're obligation to know what the supposed lies even are before you can accuse them of being lies, but so far, the truthers have consistantly shown they don't have an inkling of what even the first page says.. It's a gov't document so it's available online for free-

The 9/11 Commission report

Ive spent a bit of time on 911 , and if this is a presentation , how would you like to freak your classmates by proving to them that the Gov knew of the attacks before hand. This is the best Doc Ive ever seen regarding 911, and Ive seen a lot. I,m going to link the Doc now, and I vaguely remember a guy put out a timeline of the day of the attack, I'll look a bit for that too. Found the timeline for the day, hope it helps911timeline.net... .

David , why would you link this outhouse toilet paper to the man.
The Commissoner's who WERE ON the panel called it a Whitewash, Coverup,Half Truths!!
Why must the OS side lie to people, Let any person find out the truth for themselve, its all there.

ae911truth.org has done some good work with a fact sheet available at issuu.com...://skin.issuu.com/v/color/layout.xml&backgroundColor=2a2c6c

Hi Dharma Employee,

Glad to be of some small help.

As I said dude, GET their main 9/11 NEXUS MAGAZINE article " it contains actual accounts IT DOES let actual accounts speak for themselves".

The other links provided above contain anomalies/distortions/lies/testimony - YOU CAN PERSONALLY put together yourself A FACT SHEET FROM THEM.

I will try to find you the Nexus 9/11 article I speak of, to tell you the title etc (will be in touch asap).

You mentioned the Dr. David Ray Griffin books, I would assume that includes Debunking 9/11 Debunking. From that book alone you could sniff out hundreds of items which would easily form your own distilled fact list.

That book is written with citation in mind, every name he mentioned in this 400+ page masterwork can be researched squarely back to reality. The book is itself a 400+ page fact sheet.

I know what you are looking for... but any bare "fact" needs a mate with "reason." On the other hand, Any claim requires evidence.

There is evidence, there is reason. They are dependent, yet independent of each other.

I agree wholehertedly. Since you've found out the truth for yourself, what say you point out exactly what the lies are in the 9/11 commission report in your own words, without cutting and pasting what those damned fool conspiracy web sites are telling you?

When they document the eyewitness testimony of NYPD helicopter pilots flying eyelevel to the impact areas of the towers who reported seeing the columns were glowing red from the fires and the structure looked as if it was going to collapse, I'm going to believe them because they were there and those college kids making those conspiracy videos in their dorm room weren't. When the NIST board interviews firefighters who specifically saw with their own eyes how the fires were causing massive deformations on the side of WTC 7, I'm going to believe them because they were there and that con artist architect making a living from touring the country and giving 9/11 conspiracy conferences wasn't. When a immigrant from El Salvador reports specifically seeing a passenger jet hitting the Pentagon, I'm going to believe him because he was there and that gay writer over in France inventing cruise missile conspiracies to sell a bunch of books wasn't.

I'm not saying the report is sorely lacking, or that there isn't more to the story than what the gov't is admitting to, because there certainly is. What I'm saying is just becuase there is more to the story it doesn't give the truthers license to ingnore the parts that can be confirmed, and it certainly doesn't give them license to lie through their teeth and make up stories of sinister secret agents plotting to take over the world to make a fast buck. When the OP asked for links to the "truth" of 9/11 he's all but screaming LIE TO ME! I'M GULLIBLE!

the best bits of evidence that are inescapable:

hydrocarbons (jet fuel) do not burn hot enough to melt steel, yet both eye witnesses and photo evidence confirm molten steel. in a "dirty burn" (the wtc buildings were a dirty burn, which means the optimal amounts of fuel and oxygen were not present) the temperatures vary between 500-800 F.

both wtc 1 & 2, as well as building 7 fell at free fall speed while collapsing through the path of greatest resistance. this defies newton's third law.

you could bring up f.b.i agent john o'neil. he was prevented from investigating some arabs at a florida flight school (later to be the supposed 9/11 terrorists). he resigned, so they offered him a job as security at one of the twin towers. his first day of work was on 9/11 when he died.

you could mention that al qaeda offered to hand over osama bin laden to a neutral country for trial if the U.S. could prove that he had anything to do with 9/11. bush refused saying "we do not negotiate with terrorists"

I find the list The Facts speak for themselves by Jon Gold is a good source. It lists facts, which are incompatible with the OS and contains questions which should have been answered in a real investigation.
911reports.wordpress.com...

On the wanttoknow website are information summaries of various lenghts available.
www.wanttoknow.info...

Since you have read a lot books about 9/11 you will probably also have used the timeline of history commons. The timeline contains too much information to summarize it, but is a good source if you look at only one or a few aspects of 9/11.

I have read a number of david ray griffin books

Well, lets see. Firstly griffin is a moron and a story teller. He has churned out other peoples research and pawned them off as his own. He is a complete nob.

NVQ? National Vocational Qualification? Waste of time my friend. Sitting next to one of the 37,000 graduates who also can't get a job places your chances up their will the chances of a 911 FACT sheet. Nil.

I'd suggest choosing a less controversial topic for your project.
But that's just me...

Hi,

Collected together a few 911 related (and other odds & ends). Its the best I can do for now - I don't think any of these are the main 911 article though. I will do further digging in the hope I find details of it - and will let you know here if I find anything!

911.rar - www48.zippyshare.com...

This one is a list of a bunch of the 9/11 commission report members, congressman, military officials, etc. who claim we've been lied to. It's been most affective in the debates I've been a part of...

911summary.com...

It's full of links and citations, and the people are refutable, so it makes a pretty good source

Highly-Credible People
Question 9/11

The following people question the government's version of 9/11, or the government's openness in providing information about the September 11 attacks.

9/11 COMMISSIONERS

The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission (Thomas Keane and Lee Hamilton) said that the CIA (and likely the White House) "obstructed our investigation".

The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission also said that the 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials misrepresented the facts to the Commission, and the Commission considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements, yet didn't bother to tell the American people (free subscription required).

Indeed, the co-chairs of the Commission now admit that the Commission largely operated based upon political considerations.

9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says "I don't believe for a minute we got everything right", that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, that the 9/11 debate should continue, and that the 9/11 Commission report was only "the first draft" of history.

9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that "There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn't have access . . . ."

9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer said "We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting"

Former 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: "It is a national scandal"; "This investigation is now compromised"; and "One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up".

9/11 Commissioner John Lehman said that “We purposely put together a staff that had – in a way - conflicts of interest".

The Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) who led the 9/11 staff's inquiry, said "I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described .... The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years.... This is not spin. This is not true."

CONGRESS

According to the Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry into 9/11 and former Head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Bob Graham, a U.S. government informant was the landlord to two of the hijackers for over a year (but the White House refused to let the 9/11 inquiry interview him).

Current U.S. Senator (Patrick Leahy) states "The two questions that the congress will not ask . . . is why did 9/11 happen on George Bush's watch when he had clear warnings that it was going to happen? Why did they allow it to happen?"

Current Republican Congressman (Ron Paul) calls for a new 9/11 investigation and states that "we see the [9/11] investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on"

Current Democratic Congressman (Dennis Kucinich) hints that we aren't being told the truth about 9/11

Former Democratic Senator (Mike Gravel) states that he supports a new 9/11 investigation and that we don't know the truth about 9/11

Former Republican Senator (Lincoln Chaffee) endorses a new 9/11 investigation

Former U.S. Democratic Congressman (Dan Hamburg) says that the U.S. government "assisted" in the 9/11 attacks, stating that "I think there was a lot of help from the inside"

Former U.S. Republican Congressman and senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, and who served six years as the Chairman of the Military Research and Development Subcommittee (Curt Weldon) has shown that the U.S. tracked hijackers before 9/11, is open to hearing information about explosives in the Twin Towers, and is open to the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job
MILITARY LEADERS

Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan (Col. Ronald D. Ray) said that the official story of 9/11 is "the dog that doesn't hunt" (bio)

Director of the U.S. "Star Wars" space defense program in both Republican and Democratic administrations, who was a senior air force colonel who flew 101 combat missions (Col. Robert Bowman) stated that 9/11 was an inside job. He also said:

"If our government had merely [done] nothing, and I say that as an old interceptor pilot—I know the drill, I know what it takes, I know how long it takes, I know what the procedures are, I know what they were, and I know what they’ve changed them to—if our government had merely done nothing, and allowed normal procedures to happen on that morning of 9/11, the Twin Towers would still be standing and thousands of dead Americans would still be alive. [T]hat is treason!"

U.S. Army Air Defense Officer and NORAD Tac Director, decorated with the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star and the Soldiers Medal (Capt. Daniel Davis) stated:

"there is no way that an aircraft . . . would not be intercepted when they deviate from their flight plan, turn off their transponders, or stop communication with Air Traffic Control ... Attempts to obscure facts by calling them a 'conspiracy Theory' does not change the truth. It seems, 'Something is rotten in the State.' "

President of the U.S. Air Force Accident Investigation Board, who also served as Pentagon Weapons Requirement Officer and as a member of the Pentagon's Quadrennial Defense Review, and who was awarded Distinguished Flying Crosses for Heroism, four Air Medals, four Meritorious Service Medals, and nine Aerial Achievement Medals (Lt. Col. Jeff Latas) is a member of a group which doubts the government's version of 9/11

U.S. General, Commanding General of U.S. European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe, decorated with the Bronze Star, Silver Star, and Purple Heart (General Wesley Clark) said "We've never finished the investigation of 9/11 and whether the administration actually misused the intelligence information it had. The evidence seems pretty clear to me. I've seen that for a long time."

Air Force Colonel and key Pentagon official (Lt. Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski) finds various aspects of 9/11 suspicious

Lieutenant colonel, 24-year Air Force career, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs at the Defense Language Institute (Lt. Colonel Steve Butler) said "Of course Bush knew about the impending attacks on America. He did nothing to warn the American people because he needed this war on terrorism."

Two-Star general (Major General Albert Stubbelbine) questions the attack on the Pentagon

U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, former instructor at the USAF Fighter Weapons School and NATO’s Tactical Leadership Program, with a 20-year Air Force career (Lt. Colonel Guy S. Razer) said the following:

"I am 100% convinced that the attacks of September 11, 2001 were planned, organized, and committed by treasonous perpetrators that have infiltrated the highest levels of our government ....

Those of us in the military took an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic". Just because we have retired does not make that oath invalid, so it is not just our responsibility, it is our duty to expose the real perpetrators of 9/11 and bring them to justice, no matter how hard it is, how long it takes, or how much we have to suffer to do it.

We owe it to those who have gone before us who executed that same oath, and who are doing the same thing in Iraq and Afghanistan right now. Those of us who joined the military and faithfully executed orders that were given us had to trust our leaders. The violation and abuse of that trust is not only heinous, but ultimately the most accurate definition of treason!"

U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant colonel, a fighter pilot with over 300 combat missions flown and a 21-year Marine Corps career (Lt. Colonel Shelton F. Lankford) believes that 9/11 was an inside job, and said:

"This isn't about party, it isn't about Bush Bashing. It's about our country, our constitution, and our future. ...

Your countrymen have been murdered and the more you delve into it the more it looks as though they were murdered by our government, who used it as an excuse to murder other people thousands of miles away.

If you ridicule others who have sincere doubts and who know factual information that directly contradicts the official report and who want explanations from those who hold the keys to our government, and have motive, means, and opportunity to pull off a 9/11, but you are too lazy or fearful, or ... to check into the facts yourself, what does that make you? ....

Are you afraid that you will learn the truth and you can't handle it? ..."

U.S. Navy 'Top Gun' pilot (Commander Ralph Kolstad) who questions the official account of 9/11 and is calling for a new investigation, says "When one starts using his own mind, and not what one was told, there is very little to believe in the official story".

The Group Director on matters of national security in the U.S. Government Accountability Office said that President Bush did not respond to unprecedented warnings of the 9/11 disaster and conducted a massive cover-up instead of accepting responsibility

Additionally, numerous military leaders from allied governments have questioned 9/11, such as:

Canadian Minister of Defense, the top military leader of Canada (Paul Hellyer)

Assistant German Defense Minister (Andreas Von Bulow)

Commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy (Anatoli Kornukov)

Chief of staff of the Russian armed forces (General Leonid Ivashov)

INTELLIGENCE PROFESSIONALS

Former military analyst and famed whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg recently said that the case of a certain 9/11 whistleblower is "far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers". He also said that the government is ordering the media to cover up her allegations about 9/11. And he said that some of the claims concerning government involvement in 9/11 are credible, that "very serious questions have been raised about what they [U.S. government officials] knew beforehand and how much involvement there might have been", that engineering 9/11 would not be humanly or psychologically beyond the scope of the current administration, and that there's enough evidence to justify a new, "hard-hitting" investigation into 9/11 with subpoenas and testimony taken under oath.

A 27-year CIA veteran, who chaired National Intelligence Estimates and personally delivered intelligence briefings to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, their Vice Presidents, Secretaries of State, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and many other senior government officials (Raymond McGovern) said “I think at simplest terms, there’s a cover-up. The 9/11 Report is a joke”, and is open to the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job.

A 29-year CIA veteran, former National Intelligence Officer (NIO) and former Director of the CIA's Office of Regional and Political Analysis (William Bill Christison) said “I now think there is persuasive evidence that the events of September did not unfold as the Bush administration and the 9/11 Commission would have us believe. ... All three [buildings that were destroyed in the World Trade Center] were most probably destroyed by controlled demolition charges placed in the buildings before 9/11." (and see this).

20-year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer, the second-ranking civilian in U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence, and former CIA clandestine services case officer (David Steele) stated that "9/11 was at a minimum allowed to happen as a pretext for war", and it was probably an inside job (see Customer Review dated October 7, 2006).

A decorated 20-year CIA veteran, who Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh called "perhaps the best on-the-ground field officer in the Middle East”, and whose astounding career formed the script for the Academy Award winning motion picture Syriana (Robert Baer) said that"the evidence points at" 9/11 having had aspects of being an inside job .

The Division Chief of the CIA’s Office of Soviet Affairs, who served as Senior Analyst from 1966 - 1990. He also served as Professor of International Security at the National War College from 1986 - 2004 (Melvin Goodman) said "The final [9/11 Commission] report is ultimately a coverup."

Professor of History and International Relations, University of Maryland. Former Executive Assistant to the Director of the National Security Agency, former military attaché in China, with a 21-year career in U.S. Army Intelligence (Major John M. Newman, PhD, U.S. Army) questions the government's version of the events of 9/11.

The head of all U.S. intelligence, the Director of National Intelligence (Mike McConnel) said "9/11 should have and could have been prevented"

A number of intelligence officials, including a CIA Operations Officer who co-chaired a CIA multi-agency task force coordinating intelligence efforts among many intelligence and law enforcement agencies (Lynne Larkin) sent a joint letter to Congress expressing their concerns about “serious shortcomings,” “omissions,” and “major flaws” in the 9/11 Commission Report and offering their services for a new investigation (they were ignored).

SCIENTISTS

A prominent physicist with 33 years of service for the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, DC (Dr. David L. Griscom) said that the official theory for why the Twin Towers and world trade center building 7 collapsed "does not match the available facts" and supports the theory that the buildings were brought down by controlled demolition

A world-renowned scientist, recipient of the National Medal of Science, America's highest honor for scientific achievement (Dr. Lynn Margulis) said:

"I suggest that those of us aware and concerned demand that the glaringly erroneous official account of 9/11 be dismissed as a fraud and a new, thorough, and impartial investigation be undertaken."

The former head of the Fire Science Division of the government agency which claims that the World Trade Centers collapsed due to fire (the National Institute of Standards and Technology), who is one of the world’s leading fire science researchers and safety engineers, a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering (Dr. James Quintiere), called for an independent review of the World Trade Center Twin Tower collapse investigation. "I wish that there would be a peer review of this," he said, referring to the NIST investigation. "I think all the records that NIST has assembled should be archived. I would really like to see someone else take a look at what they've done; both structurally and from a fire point of view. ... I think the official conclusion that NIST arrived at is questionable."

The principal electrical engineer for the entire World Trade Center complex, who was "very familiar with the structures and [the Twin Towers'] conceptual design parameters" (Richard F. Humenn), stated that "the mass and strength of the structure should have survived the localized damage caused by the planes and burning jet fuel . . . . the fuel and planes alone did not bring the Towers down."

Former Director for Research, Director for Aeronautical Projects, and Flight Research Program Manager for NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center, who holds masters degrees in both physics and engineering (Dwain A. Deets) says:

"The many visual images (massive structural members being hurled horizontally, huge pyroclastic clouds, etc.) leave no doubt in my mind explosives were involved [in the destruction of the World Trade Centers on 9/11].''

A prominent physicist, former U.S. professor of physics from a top university, and a former principal investigator for the U.S. Department of Energy, Division of Advanced Energy Projects (Dr. Steven E. Jones) stated that the world trade centers were brought down by controlled demolition

A U.S. physics professor who teaches at several universities (Dr. Crockett Grabbe) believes that the World Trade Centers were brought down by controlled demolition

An expert on demolition (Bent Lund) said that the trade centers were brought down with explosives (in Danish)
A Dutch demolition expert (Danny Jowenko) stated that WTC 7 was imploded

A safety engineer and accident analyst for the Finnish National Safety Technology Authority (Dr. Heikki Kurttila) stated regarding WTC 7 that "The great speed of the collapse and the low value of the resistance factor strongly suggest controlled demolition."

A 13-year professor of metallurgical engineering at a U.S. university, with a PhD in materials engineering, a former Congressional Office of Technology Assessment Senior Staff Member (Dr. Joel S. Hirschhorn), is calling for a new investigation of 9/11

A Danish professor of chemistry (Dr. Niels Harrit) said, in a mainstream Danish newspaper, "WTC7 collapsed exactly like a house of cards. If the fires or damage in one corner had played a decisive role, the building would have fallen in that direction. You don't have to be a woodcutter to grasp this" (translated)

A former guidance systems engineer for Polaris and Trident missiles and professor emeritus, mathematics and computer science at a university concluded (Dr. Bruce R. Henry) that the Twin Towers "were brought down by planted explosives."

A mechanical engineer with 20 years experience as a Fire Protection Engineer for the U.S. Departments of Energy, Defense, and Veterans Affairs, who is a contributing Subject Matter Expert to the U.S. Department of Energy Fire Protection Engineering Functional Area Qualification Standard for Nuclear Facilities, a board member of the Northern California - Nevada Chapter of the Society of Fire Protection Engineers, currently serving as Fire Protection Engineer for the city of San Jose, California, the 10th largest city in the United States (Edward S. Munyak) believes that the World Trade Center was destroyed by controlled demolition.

The former Chief of the Strategic and Emergency Planning Branch, U.S. Department of Energy, and former Director of the Office of Engineering at the Public Service Commission in Washington, D.C., who is a mechanical engineer (Enver Masud) , does not believe the official story, and believes that there is a prima facie case for controlled demolition of the World Trade Center.
A professor of mathematics (Gary Welz) said "The official explanation that I've heard doesn't make sense because it doesn't explain why I heard and felt an explosion before the South Tower fell and why the concrete was pulverized"

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS AND ARCHITECTS

A prominent engineer with 55 years experience, in charge of the design of hundreds of major building projects including high rise offices, former member of the California Seismic Safety Commission and former member of the National Institute of Sciences Building Safety Council (Marx Ayres) believes that the World Trade Centers were brought down by controlled demolition (see also this)

Two professors of structural engineering at a prestigious Swiss university (Dr. Joerg Schneider and Dr. Hugo Bachmann) said that, on 9/11, World Trade Center 7 was brought down by controlled demolition (translation here)

Former Instructor of Criminal Trial Practice, Boalt Hall School of Law, University of California at Berkeley 11-year teaching career. Retired Chief Assistant Public Defender, Contra Costa County, California 31-year career (William Veale) said:

"When you grow up in the United States, there are some bedrock principles that require concerted effort to discard. One is the simplest: that our leaders are good and decent people whose efforts may occasionally warrant criticism but never because of malice or venality... But one grows up. ... And with the lawyer's training comes the reliance on evidence and the facts that persuade... After a lot of reading, thought, study, and commiseration, I have come to the conclusion that the attacks of 9/11 were, in their essence, an inside job perpetrated at the highest levels of the U S government."

FAMILY MEMBERS AND HEROIC FIRST RESPONDERS

A common criticism of those who question 9/11 is that they are being "disrespectful to the victims and their families".

However, half of the victim's families believe that 9/11 was an inside job (according to the head of the largest 9/11 family group, Bill Doyle) (and listen to this interview). Many family and friends of victims not only support the search for 9/11 truth, but they demand it (please ignore the partisan tone). See also this interview.

Indeed, it has now become so clear that the 9/11 Commission was a whitewash that the same 9/11 widows who called for the creation of the 9/11 Commission are now demanding a NEW investigation (see also this video).

And dying heroes, soon-to-be victims themselves, the first responders who worked tirelessly to save lives on and after 9/11, say that controlled demolition brought down the Twin Towers and that a real investigation is necessary.

PSYCHIATRISTS AND PSYCHOLOGISTS

Finally, those who attack people who question the government's version of 9/11 as "crazy" may wish to review the list of mental health professionals who have concluded that the official version of 9/11 is false:

THOUSANDS OF OTHERS

The roster above is only a sample. There are too many Ph.D. scientists and engineers, architects, military and intelligence officials, politicians, legal scholars and other highly-credible people who question 9/11 -- literally thousands -- to list in one place. Here are a few additional people to consider:

The former director of the FBI (Louis Freeh) says there was a cover up by the 9/11 Commission

Former air traffic controller, who knows the flight corridor which the two planes which hit the Twin Towers flew "like the back of my hand" and who handled two actual hijackings (Robin Hordon) says that 9/11 could not have occurred as the government says, and that planes can be tracked on radar even when their transponders are turned off (also, listen to this interview)

Perhaps "the premiere collapse expert in the country", who 9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer referred to as a "very, very respected expert on building collapse", the head of the New York Fire Department's Special Operations Command and the most highly decorated firefighter in its NYFD history, who had previously "commanded rescue operations at many difficult and complex disasters, including the Oklahoma City Bombing, the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing, and many natural disasters worldwide" thought that the collapse of the South Tower was caused by bombs, because the collapse of the building was too even to have been caused by anything else (pages 5-6).

Former Deputy Secretary for Intelligence and Warning under Nixon, Ford, and Carter (Morton Goulder), former former Deputy Director to the White House Task Force on Terrorism (Edward L. Peck), and former US Department of State Foreign Service Officer (J. Michael Springmann), as well as a who's who of liberals and independents) jointly call for a new investigation into 9/11

Former FBI agent (Robert Wright) says "The FBI, rather than trying to prevent a terrorist attack, was merely gathering intelligence so they would know who to arrest when a terrorist attack occurred."
Former FBI translator, who the Department of Justice's Inspector General and several senators have called extremely credible (free subscription required) (Sibel Edmonds), said "If they were to do real investigations we would see several significant high level criminal prosecutions in this country. And that is something that they are not going to let out. And, believe me; they will do everything to cover this up". She also is leaning towards the conclusion that 9/11 was an inside job. Some of her allegations have been confirmed in the British press.
