West Hartford, Connecticut - One Day Symposium - November 3, 2007


One-Day Symposium, Saturday November 3, 2007

An excellent lineup of speakers is booked for Saturday November 3, 2007 at Saint Joseph College in West Hartford, Connecticut, to speak about 9/11 from various critical viewpoints. Steven E. Jones and Richard Gage will discuss the destruction of the WTC towers, John Feal will be there to speak for the 9/11 first responders, three 9/11 Family Members will be there; Donna Marsh O'Connor, Robert McIlvaine and Gordon Haberman. (Mr. Haberman will be speaking publicly for the first time at a 9/11 conference.) Rounding out the list of speakers is Dr. William Pepper, a man who has waded hip-deep through through infiltration as well as mis- and dis- information campaigns through his investigations into the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. His advice on quality of evidence should be taken to heart, as he has been targeted with tainted goods at least once before.

This looks like a top-shelf introduction to 9/11 skepticism, with some fine speakers... congratulations to the organizers!

Burning Man and WTC Thermite Residue Compared By Steven Jones

(This is a repost. Some snafu happened. Sorry for the lost comments)

Electron microscopy reveals similarities to WTC thermite residue.
Dr. Steven Jones just turned in these electron microscope images of thermite residue from the September 2, 2007 TruthBurn demonstration at Burning Man. Iron rich spheres that look very similar to WTC iron spheres were revealed by the powerful microscope at Jones' lab. An analysis is forthcoming.

A short video of the reaction that produced these samples can be found at http://911truthburn.blogspot.com The TruthBurn art event was a memorial to all 911 victims, an attempt to demonstrate the steel cutting powers of thermite, its probable use in the controlled demolition of all 3 WTC buildings and to foster more discussion on the important work of ae911truth.The sign is now having a second life as a magnet for 911 Truth ideas. We are open to outstanding ideas for its use.

This image is from a WTC sample submitted to Dr. Jones.

Today, Sunday, Sept 30, a well attended Petaluma Progressive Festival featured two 911 truth booths, one was hosted by John Parulis of Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth the other by noted 911 filmmaker Ken Jenkins. Dozens of people stopped by to talk about ae911truth and architect Richard Gage's organizing effort. A large piece of steel that we cut through with thermite at Burning Man was also on display along with samples of solidified iron residue from the thermite reaction. Dr. Steven Jones is now analyzing some of these Burning Man samples to compare them to WTC samples.
Local TV Station channel 26 in Marin County took our latest DVD to broadcast on Marin Cable TV.
A mini documentary of our themite demonstration at Burning Man is in the works.

Successful 9/11 Truth Event in Bloomington, Indiana

We had a very successful event here in Bloomington, Indiana this week. The full theater audience of 600 stayed for over three hours without a break to hear outstanding presentations by Richard Gage and Steven Jones, and gave a standing ovation at the end. The event attracted three city council representatives, and our city council president gave the introduction. A number of architects, scientists and other professionals were in attendance.

Much thanks to the Bloomington 9/11 Working Group, whose sacrifice and heroic efforts made it all work.

Below are two articles, one from Bloomington Herald-Times, published just before the event, and the other from the Indiana Daily Student, published the day after.

Grand Lake Theatre 9/11 Truth Film Festival A Huge Success!

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Our two-day 9/11 Film Festival and Speakers Event at the historic Grand Lake Theatre in Oakland, California, began early Monday afternoon, September 10th, and culminated Tuesday evening, September 11th, with a standing room only crowd in the main auditorium which seats 630 people, and was a wild success by any standard.

Jeanette McKinley, an artist living across the street from ground zero on September 11th, who provided dust samples to Dr. Steven Jones and architect Richard Gage, gave two presentations.

There were two sneak previews of a new independent film, The Reflecting Pool, with in-person presentations both days by the three Los Angeles producers, stars and cinematographer: Jarek Kupsc, Joseph Culp and Jodie Baltazar. The Reflecting Pool is a dramatic film, not a documentary, and does a superb job of dramatizing a very complex and difficult subject. The Reflecting Pool will premiere on November 3rd at the Fort Lauderdale Film Festival. Visit www.reflectingpoolfilm.com.

About 70 lbs of Thermite Ignited at Burning Man as Part of 911 Truth Demonstartion

Love that sign!! Please DO NOT try this at home. -sbg

...a teaser clip. Excellent talk by Richard Gage, at Burning Man before the thermite ignition, in edited version now in process. Actual steel burned in demonstration & thermite sample will be on exhibit at Grand Lake Theatre shows.

Latest on TruthBurn

Sept. 6, 2007 San Rafael- We’re back home exhausted and nearly unpacked. I’ve included some posts here that I was never able to send because of a tenuous internet connection at Black Rock, partly due I believe to the daily onslaught of dust storms interfering with satellite communications. As mentioned below, we made what I believe was a safe and smart decision not to place our thermite cutter charges on the sign itself, rather ignite them beneath the sign on a hunk of steel we obtained from another artist. We talked to many people about 911 Truth, the use of controlled demolition on the World Trade buildings and of course, thermite and what it does to steel. Richard Gage, on hand for the event, gave a stirring talk about the melting temperature of steel, the numerous fire fighter observations of molten metal in the basements of World Trades 1.2 and 7 and the use of controlled demolition techniques to bring the buildings down. We remotely ignited about 75 lbs of thermite for the event. A huge arc bright fireball resulted that was seen all over the desert. The slag samples that were produced by this reaction are saved and some will be shipped to Steven Jones for a comparative analysis with samples from the actual twin towers. Though this art event didn’t fit our original plan, we feel that it was a great success nonetheless. I contacted most of the major controlled demolition companies in the US and even one in Japan, to solicit bids for using thermite cutter charges to bring the sign down. I heard back from none of them. This left me, a novice in the field, to devise the devices myself. The federally licensed pyro crew at Burning Man congratulated me on the safety and success of this rather large thermite burn. Cost was a factor as well. I did get one bid from a shadowy tech person with ex-defense contacts in Virginia to build 2 sol-gel thermate cutter charges. The price was $10,000.00 per charge.

Placement for TruthBurn

TruthBurn has been placed at 7:30 (a street) and about 1500' feet from the Man. Thermite destruction is set to go off at 11pm on Friday, August 31, 2007. The piece is nearly complete and most effects have been tested successfully. If you plan on going to Burning Man please visit http://burningman.com Tickets are still available. This was a courageous move by Burning Man to host TruthBurn. 911 activist-architect Richard Gage, AIA , http://ae911truth.org will give a talk before the 11pm event. Yarrow Mahko of Guns & Butter will be DJ-ing and playing G&B MP3s.This year the theme is the Green Man. Judging by the other art installations, this promises to be a very spiritual-political Burning Man.

TruthBurn still needs your financial help. We need to raise about another $7000.00 just to meet costs. Please send your gift to info@brightpathvideo.com using your paypal account or for a tax deductible donation please send to:
Agape/Northern California 911 Truth Alliance

We are planning to make DVDs available of the event.

TruthBurn Given Final Approval By Burning Man!

TruthBurn Given Final Approval For Burning Man 2007

TruthBurn is happening at Burning Man! DaveX, the head of fire safety passed the final plan for the art project. A North SF Bay metal fabricator will be constructing the piece that has been designed by John Parulis, rendered into prints by Scott Page and engineered by Charles Pegelow, all members of ae911truth.org. The sculpture will be destroyed by about 40 lbs of remotely ignited thermite towards the end of the festival. With help from Ken Jenkins, audio and video from the 911 truth movement will be shown in the evenings on a screen suspended from the sculpture.

Architect Richard Gage, AIA, is slated to give a talk during the demolition phase of this art project.

TruthBurn still needs your funding support. By reducing the original weight of the sculpture, we were able to save a considerable amount of money, but money is still needed to cover costs, approximately $7,000.. Please send your tax free donations to Northern California 911 Truth Alliance (in memo section of check write “TruthBurn”) P.O. Box 60511, Palo Alto, CA 94306
Thanks to Carol Brouillet for offering this service.

About 40,000 people attend Burning Man. A considerable number of national and international press attend as well. A video of the TruthBurn event will be made available after the festival.

UpDate on TruthBurn Art Project at Burning Man

Burning Man has given conditional approval to the TruthBurn Art Project. The head of the Art Project Dept. for Burning Man stated today that the project was very ambitious and interesting. We need to address some questions that Burning Man has regarding our use of fire and flame effects. The TruthBurn art sculpture will be engulfed in 6' high propane flames at night to commemorate the loss of life at 9/11 and loss of life in its aftermath all over the globe. Thermite or thermate cutter charges will bring the structure down in a "controlled demolition" towards the end of the week long Burning Man festival. Spokespersons from the truth movement will be on hand to answer questions from the press and festival participants. The partly destroyed letters from the sculpture that spell the word "Truth" will then be available for art galleries, public protests and nationwide calls for a new independent investigation into the events around 9/11. Architects Richard Gage and Scott Page and civil engineer, Charles Pegelow are advising and participating in the development process for TruthBurn.
