A Letter Of Support From Dr. David Leifer, Senior Lecturer in Architecture, University of Sydney
On Friday 29th June John Bursill spoke by phone with a several staff members of the Faculty of Architecture, University of Sydney. The purpose of John's call was to share information and ask for opinions from appropriately qualified professionals about the compelling evidence which shows that the three sky scraper collapses in New York which occurred on the 11th September 2001 were deliberate demolitions rather than merely the unfortunate consequence of the impact of fuel-laden jet airliners.
Among those John spoke with is Dr. David Leifer, Senior Lecturer and Coordinator of the Facilities Management Program. Dr. Leifer expressed his agreement with one of the central claims of the 9/11 Truth Movement, namely that the manner in which the WTC towers collapsed, does not accord with the official explanation endorsed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) of a purely gravity driven collapse initiated by structural failure.
Dr. Leifer later confirmed his views in an email to John, which we present below:
Dear John,
The frequently repeated TV images of the aircraft slamming into the World Trade Centre overwhelmed any thoughtful response. Naturally, the collapse of the buildings was attributable to this traumatic event.
It was only later when pictures emerged showing the inappropriate damage to the Pentagon – reported to have been caused by a large aircraft crashing through several layers of external wall – that professional doubt was aroused in my mind. Thereafter, The fall of the World Trade Center video showed the side of one tower ‘unzipping’ along one side of a damaged floor. My knowledge of structure and dynamics told me that unless the other sides simultaneously ‘unzipped’ there was no way that the tower would have ‘pancaked’ onto it’s own footprint: it should surely have toppled outwards. That both towers did the same was just too improbable to be plausible.
Hence I am anxious to learn what really happened.
You may add this to your web page if you think it suitable.
Regards,
David Leifer.

Great news!
Great news!
Two more are on the ropes, thank god for building 7!
My success is as a direct result of Richard Cage's www.ae911truth.org !
This web site should be used by all truthers to put the professionals on the spot.
I also think it better to get them on the phone and back up the call with an e-mail link to www.ae911truth.org . Obviously if you can use an articulate professional person in your truth group to make these calls it is probably best. Don't be two pushy and remind them of building 7, many times. Try to get a commitment to look at it! BE NICE!! BE VERY NICE!!!
Kind regards John
WE GOT TO TAKE THE POWER BACK!... rage against the machine!!

Very well done. No narration. Let's the record speak for itself.
Please pass it around. I think it's going to do very well for us.

jeez, another professional
jeez, another professional was knocked out of his slumber by the dreaded "honey pot"! what does this mean?!?!?! seriously though, this is good news. the tide is turning so expect more and more professionals to come forward in the coming months.

Am no professional
I am just a medical doctor, but I got my reality check when I saw the video of WTC 7 for a few seconds on Al-Jazeera, and immediately felt that something was wrong. Before that I was a LIHOP.

Help me shout 9/11 articles on:
www.shoutwire.com
and for me it was the
and for me it was the Pentagon anomalies that initially brought me into the truth fold. though of course im no professional myself, my point was that many professionals have come to join the movement because of the Pentagon. when i finally saw WTC7 i couldnt believe(and still dont) how blatant it was.

Exactly, the Pentagon is a huge smoking gun of evidence showing
that 9/11 was an inside job!
(BTW, Dr. Leifer wrote decisively about the towers, and he hasn't even weighed-in about WTC-7 yet! I can hardly wait.)
this is what happens when you threaten to show LC2E.......
haha,just kidding but this isnt good:
New York Times: Carlyle Group in talks to acquire Virgin Media
Washington-based equity firm The Carlyle Group is pondering acquisition of UK cable provider Virgin Media, today's New York Times reports.
Excerpts:
The Carlyle Group is in discussions with Virgin Media, the British cable company whose largest investor is Richard Branson, over a potential bid worth around $20 billion, a person familiar with the negotiations said today.

This is great news indeed! That pressure to re-investigate is coming from a growing body of foreign professionals is welcome and encouraging. Let's get more on board.
At some point, a group should
create an email blast to every Civil Engineer in the USA through the list company serving the ASCE American Society of Civil Engineers. Same thing could be done with the AIA American Institute of Architects membership nation wide. Cost is minimal, the exposure, priceless.
I think the ASCE membership is 136,000 total, and the AIA, about 30,000. Later, the same thing could be done with all PE's, through the ASPE American Society of Professional Engineers.
Wouldn't that rock, if done correctly..? If done right it could have a chain email viral element embedded in it, unspamming it in the process, through networked connections of friends and acquaintences sending it out to people in their contacts folder.
There would be some cost involved, but it wouldn't take all that much to accomplish.. just a thought..
I have this theory, that when A&Efor911truth hits a certain threshold level, say between 250 and 500 members,, that something of profound significance is going to begin to occur..
