The media should engage with "conspiracy theorists" - Dismissing the Japanese politician
Yukihisa Fujita's concerns over 9/11 gives credence to believers' conviction.

Democratic Party of Japan lawmaker Yukihisa Fujita faced bitter criticism in a Washington Post editorial Monday
for what the major U.S. daily described as a ''bizarre, half-baked and intellectually bogus'' conspiracy theory
over the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on the United States

I was disappointed in Fujita's remarks frankly, but not discouraged. Especially if he pursues an international investigation of the facts of 9/11. Perhaps this is what he meant when he said that he had not reached "conclusions" -- without withdrawing his request for an investigation of 9/11 (I understand).

We're seeing this approach from Congressman Chaffetz and Medina (who ran for Governor in Texas) also -- not accusing the "US government", but still seeking an investigation of the facts...

On the Gary Null show earlier today, I noted (to briefly summarize):

1. the free-fall acceleration of WTC 7 for over 100 feet and NIST's concession that this indeed occurred: what this means to a physicist (nothing in the way impeding acceleration at g =32.2 ft/sec**2)
2. the near-free-fall acceleration of the Towers, the lack of an intact block to drive the lower building down, the flowing metal from the South Tower and molten metal in the rubble;
3. NIST's discussion of the orange-flowing material, inability to explain, and their refusal to look for explosive residues and to release their computer models for independent checking.
4. extended discussion on the Harrit et al. paper on nanothermite and its implications. He asked if Al Qaeda could have put nanothermite into the buildings, I explained why this could not be the case (high sophistication of manufacture, access needed to cores of buildings, etc.)
5. the iron-rich spheres observed in the dust and the very high temperatures needed to melt iron.

6. the Washington Post ad hominem attack on Y. Fujita in an 8 March 2010 editorial (yesterday). I noted that WTC7 was mentioned, and that the pattern of smearing without serious discussion of the facts was in evidence in the editorial. I hoped the WashPost mocking attack would backfire, that more would be made aware of 9/11, and that Fujita's request for an (international) investigation would be pursued. Fujita had every right to request an investigation considering that 24 Japanese were murdered in the WTC destruction on 9/11/2001.

Prof. Niels Harrit and Ian Henshaw were also on the show today and were very well-spoken and informative. Expect Prof. David Ray Griffin to be on the show on Thursday.
Null said that the number listening in via internet today was the highest ever for his radio program.

He is an asset to the 911Truth movement. It just appears in the above article that he crawfished a bit. The subsequent statement is more encouraging, especially with Aus911Truth's correction of the translation.
