New Articles at the Journal of 9/11 Studies
By Kevin Ryan
http://journalof911studies.com
At the Journal of 9/11 Studies, we have published two new articles. The first is from Dr. Timothy Eastman and professional engineer Jonathan Cole. It is titled "WTC Destruction: An Analysis of Peer Reviewed Technical Literature." Here's the abstract:
"The importance of understanding the mechanisms of collapse for the three World Trade Center buildings on September 11, 2001 cannot be over-estimated, for these unusual collapses and their disputed causes raise questions regarding all future steel-frame building design. A literature review was conducted to identify the evolving trend in research results in this area, which have become increasingly diverse over time. Recommendations for further research are presented."
The second article is from German researcher Paul Schreyer. It is called "Radar loss on 9/11." Here's an excerpt:
"The radar coverage of the United States airspace is nearly complete. In particular the northeastern area, where all four hijackings took place on 9/11, has no “gaps” whatsoever in radar coverage. Nonetheless there was radar loss on 9/11 with respect to the third hijacked plane, American Airlines Flight 77, which was reported to have hit the Pentagon."
Graeme MacQueen Continues Analysis on "9/11 In Context"
On this week's "9/11 In Context" show, which airs Thursday, February 17, at 3pm ET, Prof. Graeme MacQueen will return to continue the discussion of his superb research. Topics on this week's show will include the eyewitness testimony of first responders about explosions in the Twin Towers and WTC7 before the buildings disintegrated, foreknowledge of the destruction of WTC7, the seismic signals associated with the building disintegrations, and the importance of 9/11 truth for the antiwar movement.

Excellent New Reviews of "Cognitive Infiltration"
Although many people read the reviews of new books at Amazon.com, it's likely that most people stop reading reviews of a book after it has been out for a few months. But sometimes some of the best reviews have appeared late. I have here reposted three excellent recent reviews of David Ray Griffin’s “Cognitive Infiltration: An Obama Appointee’s Plan to Undermine the 9/11 Conspiracy Theory.”

A Case for the High Court, January 14, 2011
By Rev. Dr. Ronald David
Cass Sunstein is a highly regarded, pedigreed constitutional scholar and lawyer. He graduated from Harvard Law School magna cum laude, clerked for Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, and taught at arguably two of America's most prestigious law schools, the University of Chicago and Harvard. Mr. Sunstein is now the Adminisrator in the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) for President Barak Obama.
Steven Jones on "9/11 In Context" on Resistance Radio
On this week's "9/11 In Context" show, which airs Thursday, January 13, at 3pm ET, I will interview pioneering researcher Steven Jones, who in 2005, while still a tenured professor of physics at Brigham Young University, began to report the results of his investigations of the physical evidence from the World Trade Center building disintegrations. His findings of suspicious evidence of demolitions, and his advocacy of continued research into the evidence wherever it might lead, resulted in his early termination at BYU. Steve has continued to carry out cutting-edge research with a growing international team of associates. He is Co-Editor of The Journal for 9/11 Studies, and a founding member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice.

Jack Straw on 9/11 Miracles, on "9/11 In Context," Resistance Radio
On this week's "9/11 In Context" show, which airs Thursday, January 6, at 3pm ET, I will interview researcher and activist Jack Straw on the subject of David Ray Griffin's nine "9/11 miracles" which must be believed in to uphold the official account of the destruction of the buildings at the World Trade Center (plus two more from Jim Hoffman's research), in a discussion of the failure of the organized or mainstream "Left" to question the official account of 9/11.

Laurie Manwell on Psychological Resistance to 9/11 Truth, on "9/11 In Context"
On this week's "9/11 In Context" show, which airs Thursday, December 30, at 3pm ET, I will interview Laurie Manwell, Ph.D. candidate in Applied Cognitive Sciences at the University of Guelph. We will discuss the results of her research into the many reasons for the intense psychological resistance to 9/11 truth, and her positive strategies to present our information in ways that minimize denial and negative reactions. Laurie has published on the subject in the Journal of 9/11 Studies and is the author of "In Denial of Democracy: Social Psychological Implications for Public Discourse on State Crimes Against Democracy Post-9/11" in the recent breakthrough issue of American Behavioral Scientist on "state crimes against democracy."

Daniele Ganser Discusses Operation Gladio on "9/11 In Context"
On this week's "9/11 In Context" show, which airs Thursday, December 16, at 3pm ET, I will interview historian Daniele Ganser, an expert on Operation Gladio, the secret campaign by the CIA, MI6, NATO and national military secret services to control European politics by terrorist attacks.
Swiss historian and peace researcher Daniele Ganser, Ph.D. is the author of "Nato's Secret Armies: Operation Gladio and Terrorism in Western Europe" (Frank Cass, 2005). We will explore the relevance of the history of terrorism in Europe in the 1960s, '70s and '80s to an understanding of the 9/11 false flag operation.

"The Global Fascist Terror State" on 9/11 In Context, Resistance Radio
Today on "9/11 In Context" I presented an analysis of what I view as the major purpose behind the 9/11 attacks, the construction of a Global Fascist Terror State. First I laid out the US capitalist ruling class strategy articulated by Zbigniew Brzezinski in his book "The Grand Chessboard" (1997) and adopted formally by the US Congress in 1999's Silk Road Strategy Act. Then I put the 9/11 false-flag attack in historical perspective, with an overview of capitalist crises in the 20th Century and working class resistance to the domination of capitalist social relations. I believe that the 9/11 attacks were timed in response to and largely motivated by the massive upsurge in working class contestation in the late 1990s up through the events in Genoa, Italy at the G8 meetings in July, 2001. The 9/11 attacks are clearly related to the string of bombings and killings in Europe launched by the CIA, NATO and the secret services of European countries under Operation Gladio, in response to the earlier period of intense unrest from the late 60s through the early 70s.
Richard Gage, AIA on "9/11 In Context," on Resistance Radio
On this week's "9/11 In Context" show, which aired Thursday, Dec. 2, at 3pm ET, I interviewed Richard Gage, AIA, founder of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (http://ae911truth.org/).
Richard has spoken all over the world, utilizing his decades of professional expertise as an architect of large steel-framed buildings to highlight bogus pseudo-explanations of the disintegrations of the Twin Towers and WTC7 by US government agencies, especially the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). He is a tireless organizer and activist who has built AE911Truth into one of the most powerful organizations advancing the truth about 9/11.

Kevin Ryan on "9/11 In Context," on Resistance Radio Network
On this week's "9/11 In Context" show, which airs Thursday, Nov. 18, at 3pm ET, I will interview Kevin Ryan about his important research into the WTC physical evidence, especially the WTC dust, as well as his remarkable investigations into the complex network of corporate tenants of the WTC and the select group of "experts" who repeatedly surface to defend the official account of the buildings' destruction.
Kevin is one of the most productive researchers in the 9/11 truth movement. He brings together his extensive experience as a professional chemist, the capability to penetrate obscure corporate and professional networks, and a deep sense of moral obligation to uncover the truth about the 9/11 events.

9/11 In Context With Tod Fletcher
Fridays
The MistrBrit Show
Join MistrBrit and the Resistance Radio team as we cover the latest anti-globalisation news and expose the crimes, lies and manipulation of our elected governments, banksters, mainstream media, military and intelligence services.
Resistance Radio prefers to deal in hard evidence of governmental tyranny and multinational corporate corruption, is a religion-free zone, and steers away from the more "far-out" conspiracy theories.
Whilst welcoming listeners worldwide and having two hosts from the US, we at Resistance Radio hope to provide a distinctly British and European perspective on the news and events effecting us all in this dystopic 21st century.
YouTube Videos of MistrBrit Interview with 9/11 Researcher Tod Fletcher
On September 10, filling in for David Ray Griffin at his request, I was interviewed by MistrBrit, a featured radio host at Freedomizer Radio:
(http://www.freedomizerradio.com/the-freedomizers/mistrbrit).
MistrBrit also maintains a very popular channel at YouTube, where you can check him out. Lots of 9/11-related reporting there; don't miss it.
http://www.youtube.com/user/MistrBrit
MistrBrit really knows his facts, and gave a lot of credit to Griffin's work. It was a wide-ranging discussion of important 9/11 issues, including Griffin's new book Cognitive Infiltration, his previous book The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7, the new 9/11 truth professional organizations, physical evidence for demolition, the earliest period of the 9/11 truth movement, and many other topics.
The audio has been enhanced by carefully selected video clips pertaining to each topic as it is discussed, and posted at YouTube as a five-part video series, by SpreadThisInfo2. Check out his channel at

Why America Cannot Win in Afghanistan
Why America Cannot Win in Afghanistan
An interview with Pakistani General (ret.) Hamid Gul, by Bonnie Faulkner, “Guns and Butter,” KPFA-FM, Wednesday, September 8, 2010
In this important interview, Gen. Hamid Gul explains that the US war in Afghanistan was doomed from the start. As a military professional with a distinguished career, he identifies the key factors that determine success or failure in war, and shows that the US is failing in almost every area.
Here is his initial point: “So first, the premise has to be correct for going to war. That wasn’t correct at all. And I think it was based on lies. 9/11 is, in my opinion, still a huge, big fraud which has been perpetrated on the world, but more than that, on the American people themselves. And because they could not win a vote to support a war of this kind, so they had to create an excuse so that there would be world sympathy, which there was after 9/11, and the American people would be so angry, annoyed and alarmed that they would not question their government about their credentials and the veracity of what happened on 9/11.”
Letter to the 9/11 Truth Community: David Ray Griffin Needs Our Support Right Now
Dear 9/11 Truth Community,
As many in the 9/11 truth community know, David Ray Griffin has been in the hospital. He is recovering from major back surgery and serious complications from it. He will recover completely and be able to return to the cause, but his recovery will require a rather long time. At present he needs rest and therapy and he is not able to do the many things that he would be doing were he well.
One of his main concerns right now is that his new book, Cognitive Infiltration: an Obama Appointee's Plan to Undermine the 9/11 Conspiracy Theory, successfully make the impact that it should. As many in our community already know, it is a response to legal scholar (and now Obama appointee) Cass Sunstein's highly deceptive argument for a new Cointelpro-like operation to be directed against the 9/11 truth movement. Griffin utilizes all his own remarkable capabilities to thoroughly deconstruct and expose the fraudulent nature of this prominent legal scholar's call for an illegal operation. Griffin's book was just published, at the beginning of September, and there hasn't yet been time for many to have read it.
The Traitor Betrays Himself: review of Cognitive Infiltration by David Ray Griffin
Shortly after taking office on January 20, 2009 President Obama appointed Harvard law professor (and personal friend) Cass Sunstein to the post of administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. In June 2009 Sunstein published an essay in The Journal of Political Philosophy entitled "Conspiracy Theories: Causes and Cures," in which he provided an "analysis" of conspiracy theories, viewing them, as his title indicated, as "caused" by psychological conditions and requiring "cures", i.e., elimination. The article led to an outcry by civil libertarians of all political stripes, who especially singled out for protest Sunstein's call for covert "cognitive infiltration" by government agents of organizations the government deems "conspiracist".
Review of "The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7," a New Book by David Ray Griffin
Brilliant Spotlight Exposing Criminal 9/11 Cover-Up by US Government Agency
by Tod Fletcher
In THE MYSTERIOUS COLLAPSE OF WORLD TRADE CENTER 7: WHY THE FINAL OFFICIAL REPORT ABOUT 9/11 IS UNSCIENTIFIC AND FALSE, David Ray Griffin provides an overwhelmingly convincing case that the latest official US government account of the events at “Ground Zero” on September 11, 2001, is false. He examines in detail the whole series of publications by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) purporting to explain the highly “mysterious” collapse of World Trade Center 7, a 47-story steel-framed skyscraper across the street from the North Tower, which was not struck by a plane and yet collapsed into its footprint, at nearly free-fall speed, shortly after 5 PM that day.
OBL: The Eight-Year-Long Psychological Operation
a review of David Ray Griffin's new book, OSAMA BIN LADEN: DEAD OR ALIVE?
http://www.amazon.com/Osama-Bin-Laden-Dead-Alive/dp/1566567831/ref=sr_1_...
by Tod Fletcher
OSAMA BIN LADEN: DEAD OR ALIVE? by David Ray Griffin is a crucially important and timely examination of the whole range of evidence bearing on the question, is Osama bin Laden still alive? The importance of this question for the present comes from the fact that the United States under its new president is escalating its offensive in Afghanistan and expanding the war into Pakistan, and has claimed that the "hunt for bin Laden" is one of its principal motivations for doing so. Either explicitly or implicitly, the US government and major media outlets such as the New York Times and Washington Post continue to assert that bin Laden is alive, hiding in the tribal territories on the "AfPak" border, posing an undiminished threat to US security.
Call for Reviews and Ratings at Amazon.com
Call for Reviews and Ratings at Amazon.com
For the last couple of days there has been a flurry of negative (one-star) reviews, ratings and comments at the Amazon page for The New Pearl Harbor Revisited by David Ray Griffin, driving its overall rating down from 5 to 4 stars and piling up negative votes on favorable reviews of the book. James B of Screw Loose Change seems to be the leader of the operation to drag down the ratings. The common feature of all the negative commentary is that none of its authors seem to have actually read the book. Some have admitted as much, but Amazon has permitted their reviews to remain. Here at 911Blogger many people have in fact read the book. It would be very helpful to the future readership, and to the 9/11 truth movement, if everyone who has read it would go to Amazon and review it and rate the other reviews. To do so, go to http://www.amazon.com/New-Pearl-Harbor-Revisited-Cover-Up/dp/1566567297/....
The Definitive Treatment of 9/11
The Definitive Treatment of 9/11
a review of The New Pearl Harbor Revisited, by David Ray Griffin
by Tod Fletcher
http://www.amazon.com/New-Pearl-Harbor-Revisited-Cover-Up/dp/1566567297/...
In THE NEW PEARL HARBOR REVISITED, David Ray Griffin provides a brilliant and much-needed companion to his path-breaking and movement-building book on 9/11, The New Pearl Harbor (NPH; 2004). Now, on the occasion of the seventh anniversary of those horrific events, Griffin surveys in detail all the main lines of evidence against the official account of 9/11 to have emerged during the last four years. THE NEW PEARL HARBOR REVISITED (NPHR) has been designed as volume 2 of a two-volume set with NPH as volume 1; together they provide a thorough and up-to-date case against the official conspiracy theory (they can be bought separately, of course).
The Devil in the Details
The Devil in the Details
a review of "The Hidden History of 9-11" (2nd ed., revised and updated), edited by Paul Zarembka
http://www.amazon.com/Hidden-History-9-11-Paul-Zarembka/dp/158322825X/re...
by Tod Fletcher
THE HIDDEN HISTORY OF 9-11, edited by Paul Zarembka, professor of economics at SUNY Buffalo, is a revised and updated second edition of an important early contribution to the growing scholarly analysis of 9/11. The first, hardback edition is so expensive that few have been able to read the book until now, so its entire content will be new to virtually everyone. It presents detailed analyses by academics of the official account of what happened on that day, highlighting innumerable serious problems that demonstrate that the official story is clearly false. The book contains three contributions from David Ray Griffin, and one each from Kevin Ryan and Nafeez Ahmed, all well-known to seekers of 9/11 truth. In addition it presents worthy contributions from Zarembka himself, Jay Kolar, Don Jacobs, David MacGregor, Bryan Sacks and Diana Ralph.
David Ray Griffin on Philip Shenon's book, "The Commission"
David Ray Griffin has just reviewed Philip Shenon's recent book, "The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Commission". DRG provides a detailed appraisal of its strengths and weaknesses.
http://www.amazon.com/review/R6QTAQWI4JFV3/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm
Half Great, Half Terrible
by David Ray Griffin
"The Commission" by Philip Shenon has performed a great public service, letting the world know that there are good reasons to be suspicious of "The 9/11 Commission Report." The main problem is the fact that the Commission was almost entirely under the control of Philip Zelikow, who was closely connected to the Bush White House. Although my book "Christian Faith and the Truth behind 9/11" revealed some of the facts about Zelikow that showed him to be one of the worst possible choices for the Commission's executive director, Shenon has revealed even more facts.
Griffin Takes Powerful New Approach to 9/11 Truth
9/11 CONTRADICTIONS by David Ray Griffin is the fifth of his books to examine the official account of the events of September 11, 2001. This brilliant and highly readable book takes a new yet simple approach to the truth about 9/11. It focuses entirely on contradictory statements made by members of the Bush administration, government departments and agencies, and official bodies such as the 9/11 Commission. All the statements that Griffin examines are official claims in direct conflict with other official claims. How could this be? Why would the government keep changing "the official story"? The public, of course, is expected to take all the statements as incontrovertibly true, yet they directly conflict with one another.
