ABC Nightline\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s piece on the 9-11 Truth Movement<\/a> qualifies as nothing short of journalistic fraud. Instead of presenting an objective look at the surprisingly large numbers of people who are questioning the government\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s official conspiracy theory involving 19 Arabs, Bury\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s piece was clearly intended to equate in viewers\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 minds those in the 9-11 Truth Movement\u00e2\u20ac\u009d with gun-wielding crazies like the recent \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Pentagon shooter\u00e2\u20ac\u009d John Patrick Bedell.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00c2\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

While this movement includes a wide variety people including thousands of architects, engineers, firefighters, academicians and scientists, Nightline seemed intent on creating an oversimplified caricature of what it disparagingly called a \u00e2\u20ac\u0153viral community of true believers,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d that is, people who are crazy enough to suspect the government might be hiding something when there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no evidence to support that idea. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s actually a lot of evidence, but TV shows like Nightline are not interested in looking at it, much less refuting it. The Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth were featured as keynote speakers at the same conference that you attended and now host over 1,000 A\/E petition signers\u00e2\u20ac\u201dall demanding a new investigation into the destruction of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers on 9-11. Why did you not ask us what evidence we might have to support our call for a re-investigation? We understand that you were even re-directed by no less than three of your interviewees to speak with us.<\/p>\n

Korey Rowe and Dylan Avery, whose documentary, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Loose Change\u00e2\u20ac\u009d provided many with their first look at problems with the official account, knew what Nightline was up to. Rowe told Bury, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re trying already to equate us with this man (Bedell) and trying to say that the 9-11 Truth Movement is a militia, gun-toting, anti-government conspiracy [group].\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Avery told Bury, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We already know what you guys are going to do\u00e2\u20ac\u201djust by the questions you asked us. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s very clear what your agenda is.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Bury got a similar response from former FBI agent and whisteblower Coleen Rowley when he asked her the loaded question, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Do you think the American government helped kill innocent Americans?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Rowley told Bury the technique he was using reminded her of interrogation strategies she\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d used while in the FBI. Rowley stated that the full truth is simply not known and that the 9-11 Commission has said so itself. Nightline then interviewed Lee Hamilton, vice-chairman of the 9-11 Commission, who stated, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We got the story basically right\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in order to give the impression he was contradicting Rowley\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s claim, but that was intentionally misleading. Consider what he wrote in his book Without Precedent\u00e2\u20ac\u201dthat the 9-11 Commission was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153set up to fail\u00e2\u20ac\u009d by the Bush Administration. And what John Farmer, Senior Counsel to the 9-11 Commission wrote on page four of his book, The Ground Truth: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153At some level of government, at some point in time, there was an agreement not to tell the people the truth about what happened.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Lee Hamilton told Nightline, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153When they bring these theories of what happened forward, the appropriate question is, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWhat evidence do you have of that?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 And if they have evidence, then let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s examine it in the court of public opinion.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d We may be on the same page with Lee Hamilton after all. This is exactly what groups like ours want to see happen. For instance, why did World Trade Center Building 7, which was never hit by an airplane, collapse suddenly, smoothly, straight down into its own footprints at free-fall acceleration?<\/p>\n

This is a question for an enterprising, seasoned journalist like Chris Bury of Nightline to pursue\u00e2\u20ac\u201despecially since there is an abundant evidence of the incendiary \u00e2\u20ac\u0153thermite\u00e2\u20ac\u009d in the molten iron found in the rubble of all three WTC skyscrapers. And since the explosive composite \u00e2\u20ac\u0153nano-thermite\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was found in all of the pulverized concrete that was laid like a blanket throughout lower Manhattan.<\/p>\n

The massive amount of concrete powder contained evidence of the explosive \u00e2\u20ac\u0153thermite\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Richard Gage, AIA, founder of AE911Truth<\/a> stated, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153These technical professionals are staking their licenses, degrees, and reputation not on conspiracy theories but on the scientific, forensic evidence that speaks for itself. We have no other agenda than for the public to be aware of this evidence that was eliminated from the official reports.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

Here is a partial list of the evidence demanding further investigation:
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Rapid onset of collapse of all three WTC skyscrapers.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Sounds of explosions at the onset of collapse
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Symmetrical collapse \u00e2\u20ac\u201d through the path of what should have been the greatest resistance–at nearly free-fall acceleration (i.e. the columns offered no resistance; therefore, they must have been instantly \u00e2\u20ac\u0153removed\u00e2\u20ac\u009d)
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 WTC 7 collapsed nearly into its own footprint with the steel skeleton almost completely broken up. The Twin Towers on the other hand were extremely explosive\u00e2\u20ac\u201dhurling 9-ton steel sections laterally several hundred feet.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\u00c2\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Steel beams blown laterally several hundred feet<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Massive volume of expanding pyroclastic-like dust clouds
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Several tons of molten metal found at the base of the buildings by credible witnesses.
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Evidence of thermite (an incendiary used to cut through steel) found in beams, slag and iron spheres in all the dust samples
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Inter-granular melting and evaporation of steel structure found and documented by FEMA in App. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153C\u00e2\u20ac\u009d)
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2 Expert corroboration from controlled demolition professionals

The details can be found at www.AE911Truth.org<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0and are available to anyone who wants to look at them, yet Nightline representatives chose to devote their attention to mischaracterizing members of the 9-11 Truth Movement instead of actually confronting the evidence. What is their agenda?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
