Local filmmaker offers 'Proof' of 9/11 conspiracy

LANCASTER, Pa. - When asked who perpetrated the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, most people point to the shadowy figure of Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaida network.

But a growing number of people in the United States and around the world are going back to ask hard questions about what happened that day more than five years ago.

Sunday, a group of 50 people gathered in a small basement room in the Schuler Learning Resource Center at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology evening to watch the premiere of local filmmaker Stewart Bradley's updated action/documentary film "The Proof" as part of the Lancaster Industrial Workers of the World "Radical Film Night."

Bradley spent more than six months putting together the movie, which talks about information regarding the Sept. 11 attacks and the possibility of a conspiracy reaching the highest levels of the government.

"I don't believe in Bigfoot, I don't believe in UFOs, and I don't wear a tinfoil hat to protect myself from satellites," Bradley said. "But I do believe there was a conspiracy on 9/11."

"The Proof," which is part campy action thriller and part documentary, revolves around characters thrown into a mystery surrounding a CD with sensitive information about motives for the Sept. 11 attacks.

Bradley's movie, filmed entirely in Lancaster on no budget, incorporates information about key players in the Sept. 11 attacks and scientific evidence surrounding the collapse of the World Trade Center.

There's a segment about former Brigham Young University engineering professor Steven Jones' research on wreckage found at Ground Zero in New York. Jones discovered the presence of thermate, a chemical compound used to melt steel during building demolition, on steel samples from the World Trade Center.

The film also points out the testimony of former Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, who was in the Presidential Emergency Operations Center with Vice President Dick Cheney the morning of Sept. 11.

Mineta testified during the 9/11 hearings that Cheney instructed individuals to allow Flight 77 to strike the side of the Pentagon even though it was being tracked on radar and could have been intercepted in time. Mineta's testimony never made it into the final version of the 9/11 Report.

"9/11 is the administration's reason that we're in a permanent war stance, and there is evidence to bring the administration up on charges if people would only pay attention to it," Bradley said.

Bradley said he is disappointed that much of the information in his film has not made it into mainstream media news sources, despite being confirmed by government officials and documented evidence.

For example, "The Proof" talks about bin Laden's family being allowed to fly out of the United States after Sept. 11 without being interviewed by the FBI.

On June 14, Judicial Watch, a non-partisan educational foundation, released an FBI document detailing how Osama bin Laden was suspected of chartering one of the flights that took his relatives out of the country. However, none of the passengers on the flight was questioned by the FBI.

The Lancaster IWW has been screening "Radical Film Night" for the last seven months to generate a dialogue about controversial issues in the community. They asked Bradley to show "The Proof" with updated information.

Bradley said he's been ridiculed by people for his questions about the Sept. 11 attacks. He also said he's frustrated because many people have their minds made up that Osama bin Laden was behind the attack and will not look at any evidence to the contrary.

But recently he said people are more open to discussion because of the actions of the Bush administration.

"People are realizing that the Bush administration has lied about the election, they've lied about the war, and maybe they haven't been honest about 9/11," Bradley said.
