Join us in action everywhere on January 11
Gregory Urich publishes "Analysis of the Mass and Potential Energy of WTC Tower 1" in the Journal of 9/11 Studies
Gregory Urich has analyzed WTC Tower 1 and presents his findings in a detailed in the Journal of 9/11 Studies, December volume.
This technical paper pulls together data from a number of sources and will certainly support further analytical studies of the destruction of the WTC Towers. While we as a community are calling for an in-depth investigation, note that we are NOT waiting for Congress to act; we are proceeding with our own investigation. Without external grants from the government, we have no strings attached and are free to pursue the truth and to challenge the "official story" wherever we find it incomplete or misleading. The series of 99 papers in the Journal of 9/11 Studies constitutes a strong, evidence-based challenge to the 9/11 official story.
Gregory's peer-reviewed paper is published here: http://journalof911studies.com/volume/200703/GUrich/MassAndPeWtc.pdf
Abstract
The mass and potential energy of one of the Twin Towers is calculated based on available
data. The mass for each floor is established based on floor types, documented design
loads, and estimated in-service live loads. The calculated mass of 288,100 metric tons
NIST/NCST Advisory Committee Meeting: video with slides and speaker names
The following is a slightly edited video from the NCST Advisory Committee Meeting with the NIST staff working on the WTC7 investigation (18 Dec 2007). We added slides and speaker names to better understand the status of the investigation. The last part of the meeting includes three different public comments, including Richard Gage (Architects for 9/11 Truth http://www.ae911truth.org/) and James Gourley (representing the RST to NIST filed by Jones, Ryan, Gage and other scholars).

Announcing 9/11 Truth Tuesdays In January And February At The Anthony Wayne Movie Theater
A little over a month ago, Betsy Metz came to me with the idea of showing 9/11 Truth movies over an extended period of time at a movie theater. I loved the idea so much, that for the past 3 Saturday's, I've gone out with Betsy to try and "prepare" the neighborhood for 9/11 Truth. You can watch each of our outings here:
December 1st, 2007
December 8th, 2007
December 15th, 2007
We've been working with 9/11 Family Members, and prominent 9/11 activists in the hopes that they would be able to join us on some of these days to take Q&A from the audience. All of the proceeds will be given to the FealGood Foundation to help the sick and dying 9/11 First Responders.
Because of the power behind 9/11: Press For Truth, we have decided to make that movie the most prominently featured film to be shown on every Tuesday at 7pm.
Other films will be shown at 5pm, but they are all tentative. As of right now, this is the flyer we're handing out to people in Wayne, PA.
Police State America - A Look Back and Ahead

Police State America - A Look Back and Ahead
by Stephen Lendman
Global Research, December 17, 2007
Year end is a good time to look back and reflect on what's ahead. If past is prologue, however, the outlook isn't good, and nothing on the horizon suggests otherwise. Voters last November wanted change but got betrayal from the bipartisan criminal class in Washington. Their attitude shows in an October Reuters/Zogby (RZ) opinion poll with George Bush at 24% that tops Richard Nixon's worst showing of 25% at his lowest 1974 Watergate point. And if that looks bad, consider Congress with "The Hill" reporting from the same RZ Index that our legislators scored a "staggering 11%, the lowest (congressional) rating in history," but there's room yet to hit bottom and a year left to do it. Why not with lawmakers' consistent voter sellout and failure record that keeps getting worse.
RON PAUL IS NOT THE 9/11 TRUTH CANDIDATE!
I'll probably take a little bit of heat for this post but it has to be said...
Ron Paul makes his stance on 9/11 clear...again:
Glenn Beck is right, a lot of people believe that Ron Paul secretly thinks that 9/11 was an inside job but won't say it because he doesn't want to ruin his chances of getting elected, etc. This is simply not true. Look folks, Ron Paul is great, I really like the things that he has to say, and he is one of the three truth tellers in this race (the other two are Gravel and Kucinich). However, if you want to support a 9/11 truth candidate, Ron Paul is not your man.

More Naomi Wolf 9/11 Comments- intvw w/ Ian Masters Dec 16
Look for the "pod cast" link near the top- the whole thing is worth listening to- her interview starts about 1:03, 9/11 comments start 1:42-
http://www.openleft.com/showDiary.do;jsessionid=5916DCAD97A6115AF09F9F74D52709B4?diaryId=2803
i'm paraphrasing- she says with the destroyed CIA tapes, the whole Commission Report is in question and there needs to be a new investigation, she doesn't take a position on the "9/11" issue, but doesn't put anything past the Bush Administration, talks about how Christie Whitman's lies injured her son as proof they're willing to injure/kill people, ends with positive message; when millions of people support truth and justice, the powers that be can't stop it. Masters comments that Hamilton and Kean are now distancing themselves from the report.
Ousted Georgia lawmaker to run for president
http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/12/20/mckinney.president.ap/index.html
ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Former Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney, who was ousted from office last year after a headline-grabbing scuffle with a Capitol Hill police officer, has decided to seek the presidency -- as a Green Party candidate.
In a video posted on the Internet on Tuesday, McKinney criticized the war in Iraq and complained about Democrats and Republicans, saying both parties are beholden to corrupt corporate interests. She called the Green Party "my new political home."
McKinney, 52, registered to vote in California after a group called Run! Cynthia! Run! began drafting her as the Green Party's candidate there. Since then, she had made campaign appearances in Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
"The Democrats do not speak for us," she said. "The Democrats are no different than their Republican counterparts."
McKinney served six terms representing a suburban Atlanta district but was defeated in 2006 by DeKalb County Commissioner Hank Johnson. She had been the first black woman elected to Congress from Georgia.
