The Downing Street Memo Hearings Chaired By Representative John Conyers
With all the mention of a 'conspiracy' by the Bush administration I couldn't help but hope that perhaps once people realize there was an intention to mislead Americans about Iraq, that they might begin to question 9/11 as well..

The Sound Of One Hand Slapping

And here's my fascination: for an agency which, before 9/11, appeared clueless that members of al Qaeda were training at flight schools, the FBI inexplicably and immediately knew, upon the attacks, which flight schools al Qaeda members had attended. And this was long before suspects should have been identified.

New Mexico Tech Explosives Expert 'Flip-Flops' On WTC Controlled Demo Theory; Refuses To Explain Why
This is a new article about an old subject. Romero, an expert in the field of explosives from New Mexico Tech, made comments just days after 9/11 saying that the buildings had to have been demolished with explosives. He later recanted those statements. You can find the original article dated September 14th, 2001 here.

"If the official wisdom on the collapses is wrong, as I believe it is, then policy based on such erroneous engineering analysis is not likely to be correct either" said the former Bush team member. "The government's collapse theory is highly vulnerable on its own terms. Only professional demolition appears to account for the full range of facts associated with the collapse of the three buildings.

This is a pretty snazzy flash movie about where we are today with Iraq and Afghanistan, and how we got here, namely 9/11. The movie argues the point of demolition, and is a nice new contribution to 9/11 related flash animations. Feel free to post any others you would like to mention in the comments.

9/11: Ten Smoking Guns
This article is a great culmination of questions surrounding 9/11 which have not been fully discussed or answered.

Here is a sample:

9) Between September 6 and 7, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw purchases of 4,744 put options on United Airlines, but only 396 call options. On September 10, 4,516 put options on American Airlines were bought on the Chicago exchange, compared to only 748 calls.

The investigation as to which criminals benefited from advance knowledge of the terrorist attack led straight to Alex Brown/Deutsche Bank - chaired up until 1997 by executive director of the CIA, Buzzy Krongard.

UPI Hears...
This is just a repeat of the previous story, but it is good to see it spreading!

A former Bush team member during his first administration is now voicing serious doubts about the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9-11. Former chief economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds comments that the official story about the collapse of the WTC is "bogus" and that it is more likely that a controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent Building No.

I got an email today letting me know that the website for the 'Truth Emergency' event in DC July 22nd through July 24th had been updated.

You can read more about this event here:

Are there any other upcoming 9/11 related events that I should be listing? Please send them in, or post them in the comments!

USA Patriot Act and the Nazi Enabling Act
This article makes comparisons between our 'Patriot' Act and a similar act passed in Nazi Germany shortly after their Reichstag fire, an event eerily similar to our 9/11. Anyone else find it amazing that the patriot was passed a month and a half after 9/11? Aside from just writing the 342 pages, I couldn't even come up with an acronym spelling 'Patriot' in that time!

Patriot Act = Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001

Former Bush Team Member Says WTC Collapse Likely A Controlled Demolition And 'Inside Job'
This article is a follow up to this article last week. I think a lot of people would be surprised to find how many former presidential aides and government officials believe in a 9/11 cover up, and U.S. involvement. Another example would be Stanley Hilton, former senior advisor to Bob Dole. In fact there are quite a number of foreign government officials who support the idea as well, feel free to post some you are familiar with.

I am not sure where the origional article came from, so here is the entire text.

JIMMY WALTER REOPEN 9-11 TOUR IN MADRID, VIENNA, LONDON, MANCHESTER, ROME

By Webster G. Tarpley

Rome, June 10, 2005 - The second phase of the Jimmy Walter Reopen 9/11 tour of Europe has scored new breakthroughs in Spain, Austria, Great Britain, and Italy, advancing the cause of an International Truth Commission to evaluate the official version and to investigate the reality of these attacks. The tour was made up of two teams of speakers: the red team featured Painful Questions author Eric Hufschmidt, American Free Press reporter Chris Bollyn, North Tower hero and 9/11 Hispanic Victims' Association president William Rodriguez, and philanthropist Jimmy Walter. The blue team, which subsumed 9/11 health, pollution, and environmental issues, included Kennedy assassination researcher Lisa Pease, 9/11 humanitarian volunteer Rachel Hughes, lawyer Phil Berg, filmmaker Penny Little, Canadian media critic Barrie Zwicker, and historian Webster Tarpley.

Kevin Ryan wrote a very famous letter to the NIST last November about the collapses of the WTC, you can read that original letter here.. He was then fired..

Now, over half a year later he is speaking up again, you can check it out here:

Kevin Ryan - A Personal Decision

To me, the report in question represents a decision point, not just for the US, but for humanity as a whole. We’re at a point where we must decide if we will live consciously, or literally give up our entire reality for a thin veneer of lies. In the US these lies include cheap propaganda that passes for journalism, police-state measures that promise security, and mountains of debt that paint a picture of wealth. Additionally we’ve adopted many implicit self-deceptions, like the idea that we’ll always enjoy a limitless share of the world’s resources, no matter where these are located or who might disagree.

I just noticed this link on whatreallyhappened.com. It is a pretty lengthy write up on the WTC collapse, and was just released today..

Why Did the Trade Center Skyscrapers Collapse? - By Morgan Reynolds

To explain the unanticipated free-fall collapses of the twin towers at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, mainstream experts (also see The American Professional Constructor, October 2004, pp. 12–18) offer a three-stage argument: 1) an airplane impact weakened each structure, 2) an intense fire thermally weakened structural components that may have suffered damage to fireproofing materials, causing buckling failures, which, in turn, 3) allowed the upper floors to pancake onto the floors below.
