“At some level of government, at some point in time, there was an agreement not to tell the people the truth about what happened.”\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong>John Farmer, Senior Counsel to the 9-11 Commission in his book The Ground Truth (Page 4)<\/div>\n

Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth founder, Richard Gage, AIA,\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 began the conference quoting Mark Twain who said, “If you don’t read the newspapers you’re uninformed. If you do<\/em> read them you’re misinformed.” Gage said he hoped the assembled press would help to rectify that statement. “Today I’m quite pleased to announce that now we have more than one thousand architects and engineers signed on to the A&E911Truth petition demanding of Congress a new and truly independent, unimpeachable investigation into the destruction of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers on 9-11,” Gage said to a cheering audience.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Numerous architects and engineers spontaneously spoke during the event about what had led to their decision to get involved in a movement that could potentially jeopardize their careers. Most agreed that it was the suspicious collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 that first caught their attention. No airplane hit the building and the fires were small. Gage said the fires were unlikely to have disabled the supporting columns all at once in order to quickly and neatly drop the skyscraper. For a hundred feet the building fell at freefall speed.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There was also evidence of foreknowledge regarding\u00c2\u00a0World Trade Center\u00c2\u00a07’s\u00c2\u00a0destruction. The BBC reported live <\/a>that it had fallen twenty minutes before it actually fell; viewers could see\u00c2\u00a0the building standing in the background.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Physics professor Dr. Steven\u00c2\u00a0Jones along with an international team of scientists, analyzed World Trade Center dust from several sources and claims they found unmistakable traces of nanothermitic composite material–explosives that could be used to demolish the three skyscrapers. He and other architects and engineers say this explains the pools of molten metal found at ground zero weeks after the incident. Jones co-authored a peer-reviewed paper on the subject which led to his being fired from a tenured faculty position at Brigham Young University.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Dr. Niels Harrit is first author, and he’s doing a wonderful job spreading information about this science. his is a peer-reviewed paper in an established scientific journal,” Jones said. “I want to emphasize that this paper has not yet been challenged in the peer-reviewed literature. In the established protocol of science, we published our findings.”<\/div>\n

As Professor David Ray Griffin <\/a>and others have pointed out, this paper is receiving a great deal of attention in Europe. the group hopes that it will receive more media attention in the United States as well. Griffin spoke at the conference. Although not an architect or engineer, he is considered one of the most respected members of the 9-11 Truth Movement.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I asked\u00c2\u00a0Griffin<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0why media outlets–even alternative ones–are typically so reluctant to even look at the 9-11 evidence.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“They say, ‘We\u00c2\u00a0lose our credibility over here, then we can’t do all this other good work,’ overlooking the fact…I would say, as a rabid (laughs) member of the 9-11 Truth Movement,\u00c2\u00a0‘Look this outstrips anything else you could be exposing from the last ten years–or the next ten–unless there’s another one, and if there is another one it will be partly your fault because you didn’t expose this one.”<\/div>\n
