Architect & Engineers Rally to the Dallas 9/11 Truth Event of July 11th
Architect & Engineers Rally to the Dallas 9/11 Truth Event of July 11th
On July 11th, from hundreds of miles away, six architects and engineers came to the Dallas area to help rally support for an all day 9/11 Truth Event. Entitled “WHAT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT 9/11: Building 7 – Gone in 7”, this Building 7 Symposium took place at a conference center in the Dallas suburb of Plano, Texas and was sponsored by members of “North Texans for 9/11 Truth”. http://www.northtexas911truth.com/
The venue encompassed three theatres, with films and presentations running in each room for 12 hours. There were 9/11 exhibits, special guest presentations, scientific articles, government documents, more than 14 films screening, along with experts, architect, and engineers on hand for Q&A. A center piece exhibit was a scale model of “The World Trade Center Towers and Building 7” graciously brought to the event by an architect from the Austin / San Antonio area. At a scale of 1 inch equals 30 feet, this model, which includes surrounding streets and the bridge, is 4 feet square at the base by 5 feet high.
Special guests included Lt Col Bob Bowman, one of the country’s foremost authorities on national security and past director of the Star Wars Program during the Ford and Carter administrations. Dr. Bowman energetically pointed out how groups across a spectrum of movements are uniting in galvanic action to take back our country from the corporate-military-political fascist elitists.
Engineer member of AE911Truth.org, Derek Johnson, delivered a fascinating presentation about an important aspect in conducting a REAL investigation concerning the fate of Building 7. Derek explained that the accepted engineering software of Finite Element Method Analysis is a pertinent, agreed-upon application in resolving issues regarding the collapse of Building 7.
Joe, a prominent North Texas 9/11 Truth Researcher, presented “An Introduction to Basic Aspects of 9/11 Truth”. Packed with video clips this segment gave a wonderful overview of fundamental aspects surrounding 9/11.
For the first time anywhere in a public venue, this event offered a film screening of the new documentary release: ANTHRAX WAR. www.anthraxwar.com
The Channel 4 Fox News affiliate came out to capture video of the event with local 9/11 Truth activist, Rob, conducting an excellent interview.
There was a plethora of promotion for this event in spite of a pauper’s budget: Radio ads and interviews, scores of online listings, flyers, and featured calendar listings even in the prominent publications such as D-Magazine, The Plano Profile, and The Dallas Observer.
TomT proposed this as a Primary Objective: Expose the subject of 9/11 within our promotion.
From Day 1, our stated primary objective in organizing this event was to market to the broad public, and in that marketing to adroitly bring up aspects about 9/11. Many readers here may not completely grasp this important marketing concept. The primary objective of this event was not the event itself, nor even the number of attendees. The main objective was the dissemination factor. We wanted to focus people’s attention on Building 7 and 9/11, and thus we incorporated the title: “WHAT YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KNOW ABOUT 9/11: Building 7 – Gone in 7”. The event becomes a justification for broadcasting the subject of 9/11 and Building 7. We are capitalizing on utilizing promotional aspects…with the intention of bringing broad public attention to Building 7 and 9/11 in our promotion and advertising. We win before the event even starts.
In order to facilitate the marketing of this event, we built a couple of dedicated websites for the event: http://www.711911.webs.com/ http://www.building7symposium.webs.com/
Building 7 continues to be an entrance point for many people on the road to 9/11 Truth. A Google Search of the event title will astonish most people as to the prolific promotion which, in itself, garners attention to Building 7.

Impressive!
Congratulations on a great event, guys. WOW, a true multi-media extravaganza with experts and screenings galore. I'd been waiting for word on how it went and am quite impressed. Congrats Joe, TomT, Rob and everybody down in Plano! Front page?
Yes..Front Page - Dynamic new dimension introduced! (FEA)
Professionals drove in for hundreds of miles to help support this all day event held in one of the most affluent suburbs of the country. It was positioned well, and the marketing exposed the 9/11 Truth subject to a vast spectrum of demographics.
Engineer Derek Johnson can be seen in a 10 minute video at FOX Channel 4 here...

The FEA (Finite Element Method Anaylsis) which Derek addresses in unseen video footage can potentially take 9/11 Truth to a whole new level!!! This could be the beginning of a very, very important dimension for the 9/11 Truth Movement. The FEA concepts presented deserve attention in the 9/11 Truth community.
Is playing speed
for WTC 7 in this video sped up? It seems to fall much faster than normal. I wouldn't do that. Btw, Derek Johnson's (spelled correctly, I hope) presentation skills are impressive.
Derek Johnson
Derek Johnson's presentation was recorded in its entirety with professional equipment. You will be seeing it when he has completed the editing. His video will probably "premiere" at ae911truth site. TomT made this video. Front page? My guess is that there is so much happening right now. that is good.
For those that bemoan they cannot change people's minds, I say they are not really trying.

Come as you are.
I definitely have a face and body for radio, but I am honest and know the subject matter well enough to get the message across effectively. The interview that was recorded by the local Fox affiliate was never aired on their station. This is the belly of the beast, DFW, Texas, home of George W. Bush and many of his loyal accomplices. Even if they aired the interview or did a story on the event, it would have been spun negatively. Case in point, the story they ran on our protest in front of Ws house in Preston Hollow, the one with Cindy Sheehan. They spun that story saying that there were "almost as many supporters of Bush there as there were protesters." This was a gross distortion of the facts. Their fake baked suntanned weasel reporter was clearly playing to the Bush base, the ones who buy the advertising on their station. I think it is just as well that they didn't run the interview. I crossed into a new level of participation as a result of this event. I was interviewed on radio with Joe and on television, even though it was never run, attaching my name and face to the cause. This is a big step. It isn't as if I have been hiding, but now I am officially out of the anonymous closet. I will now be using my real name on this site as well. The event was well executed and reached quite a few new converts. I enjoyed meeting the architects and engineers who came in from cities in Texas and Oklahoma. Thanks to Tom, Joe, Derek, Marvin, and all the others who gave a great deal to make this event happen.

Heh
And a voice for the newspaper...as they say :-P
It's as if a masked ball just ended.
Michiel de Boer .. :-P
It feels good. Glad you have done so also.
Nice to know you Michiel. You are a valued contributor here. I appreciate your contributions which are always sound and sentient.
Rob Wrinkle
Same here
It's nice to get to know you and the people here. And although discussions sometimes get emotional, I think that's natural considering the subject matter.
I used to decorate my room with New York's skyline, dreaming of a visit one day. I still have these posters up. One includes a view of Manhattan slightly similar to what it would've looked like from UA 175's cockpit. I stare at it sometimes. Something that never ceases to amaze me is the enormity of the Twin Towers.
Now everybody visiting the United States is screened like a terrorist, and our free world is a totalitarian nightmare. I do it for the people that jumped. I do it for people like Bob McIlvaine, too. Right after I wipe the tears from my eyes....that normally hardly come for anything.
85 minutes of Radio time total
We ran a series of twenty five -30 second ads on a public station. I did two interviews on an "Air America" type station. The first was solo 20 minutes with two unconvinced Radio talkers. The second with Rob was 40 minutes allowing us to say all we wanted in the time given (Thank you Tunde). Rob got on another show and spoke freely for 10 minutes and Derek got on for another 10 on another station.
If you set up an event you then get on the air to promote it

Yes we did get coverage on radio!
Joe did an excellent job representing the cause on Rational Radio's morning show. I was on the afternoon show, Pugs and Kelly, for about 10 minutes. Then we got on later that week on the late afternoon drive show called Point Blank with Tunde' Obazee. This was an excellent interview. Additionally, Derek was able to get onto Talkradio 570 KLIF's morning show with Jeff Bolton for several minutes discussing the event and 911. Last but not least we ran about 20 :30 second commercials on KNON radio during the week. Thanks to Jim. It was a good promotional blitz.

Excellent presentation by Derek Johnson
This shows that the architects and engineers of AE911Truth can give effective separate presentations from those of founder Richard Gage and amplify the message.
Richard can't be everywhere and the 700 plus architects and engineers in the group need to be utilized to give community presentations all over the country.
Derek's Presentation was almost TWO hours
We had it professionally videotaped with high quality audio. I believe he is now editing the video for public consumption. You will see it when he is finished.

Strong presentation
Derek
It's good to know that there are other good presenters in the organization. Richard can only do so much. The facts that prove the report a fraud are in the report. You brought this out conclusively when you showed the computer model buckling and noted that this gives resistance and takes time.
BTW: the floor slabs were 5 1/2" thick with #5 rebar 6"oc both directions.
What you called a girder, they refer to as a beam and they are hung from the girder on the right of the picture. It was the failure of that girder on floor 13 at 5:20pm that started the 'progressive' collapse, even though the fires had burned out on floor 12 in that area over an hour earlier.
Supposedly, the beams expanded, broke the bolts on the girder to column connection at column 79 and pushed the girder off its seat to the west. Then the beams buckled due to axial compression, despite the fact that the girder was no longer restraining them, [or holding them up for that matter] and rocked the girder off its seat to the east. And that led to the symmetrical, free fall collapse of the entire building.
Dylan Avery once asked "Who writes this stuff?"
Hitler once said "The bigger the lie, the easier the sell."
Perhaps, but only when people don't bother to think for themselves.
If we can get people to just look at WTC 7, and we point out some of the problems with the NIST scenario, most will get it.
Carry on
Chris
