Donations
I'm willing to donate, but I'd like to see a page that explains what the money has been spent on, each time this money was spent...Total transparency...It would also give you more credibility in the eyes of people that might say "oh, look, he's accepting donations....he's only in it to make a few bucks".

Have you thought about opening a Google AdWords account and paying per click (ads that run on right hand side of page when users search via Google; you can pick and choose keywords you'd like that to be shown on, like "september 11th" and "911" for example)? I'm a search engine marketing expert if you would like some help with this. Looks like you have AdSense ads running on the bottom right of the page here, so I'm sure you understand AdWords...
I'm going to run an ad via my personal AdWords account for this site, along with the Scholars for Truth website, http://www.scholarsfor911truth.org/ - I'll wait for your permission via this post. This will be my donation to the site.

That's awefully nice of you to offer, feel free.
Very odd...I've set the ad
Very odd...I've set the ad up over 24 hours ago, and it's not showing up on Google. Normally, ads show up within a couple hours of setting them up. I've emailed Google about it, hopefully they'll get back to me Monday.
Anyway, a word to the wise...Make sure you opt out of Googles "contextual network" in your AdWords account. Click fraud via the contextual network is rampant, and due to the nature of your ads, they may be targeted for fraud clicks...More info about it here: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_40/b4003001.htm?chan=inn...
Make sure your ads are only running in Google's "search network"...
