“9/11: TIME FOR A SECOND LOOK”

PROFESSOR DAVID RAY GRIFFIN KICKS OFF EUROPEAN SPEAKING TOUR
IN LONDON ON 14TH APRIL

Professor David Ray Griffin, renowned author of a series of eye-opening books that recount his painstaking research into the attacks of September 11, 2001, begins his new European tour in London on 14th April. Stressing the fact that the time has come for a second look at the events of that fateful day, the tour will include stops in Paris, Brussels and Madrid, and several other cities.

Professor Griffin’s talks will afford the public an excellent opportunity to learn more about the fundamental questions surrounding 9/11.  The 9/11 Truth Movement, which started out as a disparate, grass-roots undertaking, has blossomed into a serious community that now includes many specialized branches, such as Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, Lawyers for 9/11 Truth, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Medical Professionals for 9/11 Truth, Political Leaders for 9/11 Truth, Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth, Veterans for 9/11 Truth, and Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice (a group which includes a significant number of prominent scientists).  Many former intelligence officers also support the movement and have contributed to the ever-growing list of evidence that proves far beyond a reasonable doubt that the explanations provided by the Bush-Cheney administration are quite simply false.

As Professor Griffin states, “The mainstream media are reluctant to discuss the subject and politicians are loath to delve into disturbing facts that ultimately indicate that America has gone to war on false pretences.” Griffin says abundant evidence now exists that proves the Bush-Cheney administration broke the law and told lies that have led to the deaths of millions as a result of the so-called “war on terror” they concocted following 9/11.

Professor Griffin has conducted some of the most in-depth research into the September 11 attacks and compiled his findings into best-selling books including  “The New Pearl Harbour”, “The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions”, “9/11 Contradictions: An Open Letter to Congress and the Press”, and “Debunking 9/11 Debunking”.

His latest book, “The New Pearl Harbour Revisited”, provides the most up-to-date information available and includes many new disconcerting facts culled in part from recently declassified government documents.  “The New Pearl Harbour Revisited” was recently named “Pick of the Week” by Publishers Weekly.

These books make it painfully clear that the American public and the people of the world as a whole have been lied to.  The general public has not yet accepted this fact because they have been shielded from the evidence.  However, Professor Griffin says, “I find that once people are exposed to this evidence, they find it overwhelming.”

It is indeed time for a second look at 9/11. As Professor Griffin says, “9/11 has affected us all, and it is time for the peoples of the world to support the scientists, architects, engineers, firefighters, pilots, religious leaders, political leaders, and former military and intelligence professionals who are calling for a new investigation.”

LONDON

A reminder to visit the week-long  7th Anniversary 7-day camp in front of the US Embassy,  Grosvenor  Square, W1 (Bond Street tube) and pay your respects to the victims of the atrocity, numbers of whom continue to rise drastically in the Middle Eastern war-zones. But also in New York itself where thousands of citizens, most especially the First Responders continue to suffer from life-threatening sickness due to inhaling or imbibing the toxic cocktail thrown up from the buildings as they turned to dust 7 years ago this week.

Please come along and support those campaigning actively for justice for all these victims, especially  ‘We are Change UK’ who have organised and are manning the week of protest at the US Embassy on behalf of 9/11 sceptics of all stripes.

Your presence is particularly solicited on the 11th itself for a VIGIL from 11am to 3pm at the camp. NB we will be at a respectful remove from the victims’ family members who will be simultaneously forgathered for their own memorial ceremony, therefore our VIGIL/protest will be SILENT. We hope some of the family members will walk past our demonstration and be moved to join us in pressing for a new inquiry into the horrendous crime that took their loved ones from them 7 years ago, although we appreciate that the pain may still be too great.

THE INDEPENDENT ON THURSDAY 11th SEPTEMBER will carry a whole-page advert on the issue of 9/11 Truth and the need for a further Inquiry and about the campaign to Make Wars History, co-contributor with the British 9/11 Truth Campaign in fielding the cost of the article.

CORRECTION: tomorrow’s 9/11 advert in Independent has been delayed, it’ll be going out in a few days’ time, we’ll let you know when.

EUROPE

‘United For Truth’, a rapidly-growing pan-European network of 9/11 Truth activists and campaigners held their second 9/11 anniversary demo in Brussels on Sunday 7th September. 400 individuals from a dozen countries foregathered in the rain outside the headquarters of the EU Commission in Schuman Place and greeted each other enthusiastically, admiring each other’s placards and banners and swapping campaigning experiences.  Welcome speeches were delivered by a delegate from Germany which had sent the largest contingent (200) and from the 2 Belgian organisers, respectively Flemish and Francophone – a symbol of unity in itself, as New World Order plans for Europe include the splitting of Belgium into its 2 regional components (likewise Britain is to be split vertically down the middle into 2 new administrative zones attaching respectively to northern and central Europe).

There were also messages of solidarity from leading lights of the movement David Ray Griffin and Giulietto Chiesa MEP who were unable to be present. Demonstrators then set off through the streets to the US Embassy in Boulevard du Regent to present a petition to the US government demanding a new, independent investigation into the 9/11 attacks. The rally closed with further speeches including a proposal from a French delegate that today’s petition which had already been translated into 25 languages be replicated with thousands of signatures from each individual country and presented to the EU Parliament.

NEW FILMS ON 9/11 continue to spearhead our engagement with the public on this sensitive issue: following the release of ‘Zero’ (Italy) and ‘The Elephant in the Room’ (UK) in the run-up to the Anniversary (see previous postings) another UK-made film on 9/11 film is about to commence circulation: ‘Last Man Out’ , Jonathon Kerr-Smith’s intimate portrait of 9/11 hero & whistleblower William Rodriguez. UK premiere is on Sunday 14th September at 11 am at the Portobello Film Festival - Westbourne Studios, 242 Acklam Road, London W10 5JJ  www.portobellofilmfestival.com BE THERE!!

CORRECTION: Sunday’s premiere of new 9/11 film ‘Last Man Out’ at Westbourne Studios (Westbourne Park tube 2 mins) is at 1 pm not 11 am! So stay under the duvet Sunday morning!! But don’t miss this film - following the success of Dean Puckett’s ‘Elephant in the Room’ here’s another well-crafted and powerfully human film by a young UK film-maker, Jonathon Kerr-Smith, that is sure to make waves and aid 9/11 Truth.

At Notting Hill Gate Cinema some 30 people viewed Zero, a well-heeled, intelligent-looking crowd as you might expect. They were disappointed that UK promoter Tim Sparke was not   there at the end of the film to field questions, as promised. Cinema personnel were pressed to ‘find’ Tim but he was not to be found!! On the pavement outside I told them Tim is a busy gent…and tried to answer their concerns. Two in particular, names beginning with J, you know who you are! took me on. The first J who had been to one of our recent meetings at the Indian YMCA was quite angry that still nothing is being done about this issue! I said “well we are trying to do something, as you put it, I myself have been campaigning about it for over 3 years! “Yes, but why aren’t the authorities doing anything?? With half the population of the US questioning the official account of the events of 9/11, according to recent polls!” I said that it’s up to us ‘the people’ to get the truth out and put pressure on ‘the authorities’. “No it’s not up to us, it’s up to the authorities!” J persisted. I pointed out that some of the said ‘authorities’ might be in the game themselves, while others may well know about it but are keeping quiet – jobs, families, etc. Certainly they’re not doing to do anything about it unless we at the grassroots begin to make a real noise and that is precisely what the Truth movement is about - “so if you’re angry about this please join in helping us campaign about it,” I said. He went away still none too happy. Perhaps he’ll think about it and realise it is down to us, ordinary people who still possess a sense of outrage, like J himself to DO something – we’ve got to make the running here, not ‘the authorities’.

The other ‘J’ was a double J – a Journalist as he told me. He too was angry! that the film was so inferior when this issue is so important. It represented to him “an opportunity lost”.  That awful background music, why the need for 2nd rate music? This could have been a much more intelligent, academically-incisive, serious film than it was (suitable for people of his calibre perhaps). I said, OK, take in the reality here – a group of young-ish guys in Italy have tried their best to do something about this issue, out of pure human conscience, and have produced a very informative film on a minimal budget. So yes, it’s not a perfect, professional film. But it’s an honest film and they have done what they possibly could within their resources and capacities. And they have pitched it deliberately at the middle ground rather than at super-intellectuals or aesthetes like yourself and that was right – translate yourself to being an ordinary member of the public and see how the film might rate from that perspective. “I am an ordinary member of the public!” he fumed, “but the film was still bad, when it could have been a good film! It could have made more of an attempt to explain what really happened, rather than leaving everything hanging in the air, there was no explanation of what where Flight 77 went if it did not hit the Pentagon, and there was no mention at all of Flight 93 which crashed in Pennsylvania!”  I said the film was not designed to provide answers to the many questions it raised, that should and will be the job of a new inquiry, such as we are pressing for. And the filmmakers couldn’t put everything in, as it is it is already nearly 2 hours long! So they decided to leave out Flight 93 and concentrate on what happened in New York and Washington. “You’ll never get a new inquiry, you’re deluding yourselves, just like all those silly people who think we can stop wars!”  OK, I said, so we’ll never change the world for the better, the world is as it is and that’s that, we’ve got to live with it. So what are YOU doing with your life then?! “I’m sweeping the driveway in front my own house and making it tidy, that’s what I’m doing, and maybe other people will learn from that, I’m not out to change the world because it won’t be changed” he said, or words to that effect. But we parted on reasonably amicable terms and he appeared to have enjoyed our exchange.

Afterwards I thought, well J-J, it’s great to set an example by keeping your own metaphorical front driveway tidy and that might gradually help to advance civilisation. But what if an impressive driveway-sweeper (& journo) such as yourself, having proved your level of civilisation in that respect also took trouble to keep the driveway of your and other people’s minds clean! That would be even more impressive, and advance civilisation even more!

The likewise some 30-strong audience at Greenwich Picture House were not expecting a Q & A with Tim Sparke fortunately so they were more receptive to me leafleting them and talking to them after the showing and several put their names on our mailing list. They praised the film and had been moved by it – in fact one or two were visibly in shock. I told them not to be depressed because the truth movement is growing very fast now, together we’re going to do something about this evil in the world and stop it, of which I personally have no doubt.

The last showing of Zero in London is at Screen on the Green, Upper Street, Islington (Angel tube station) on Sunday 31st August at 1 pm – if you haven’t yet seen this sensational film drop everything else and come along!

The Elephant in the Room

The Elephant in the Room’ is a documentary following British filmmaker Dean Puckett through his journey into the 9/11 Truth Movement: a global movement of ‘conspiracy theorists’ who believe that the official explanation about what happened on 9/11 is totally or partially inaccurate. The filmmakers travel from middle England, across Europe and to New York for the 6th anniversary of the attacks, where the film takes one final twist as we are introduced to the 9/11 ‘first responders’ who are suffering from various grave health difficulties due to the toxic dust that they breathed in trying to help their country during the weeks after this tragic event.
Told with a personal hands-on approach that avoids advancing any one position, the film asks the question: are these crazy conspiracy theorists? Or is 9/11 Truth a credible political movement? (YES!!)

The Elephant in the Room won Best Documentary award at the London Independent Film Festival in May and has been widely acclaimed.

Carnival-lovers will particularly enjoy the sequences filmed at last year’s Notting Hill Carnival!

Scott Forbes reported a “power down” for approximately 36 hours in the South Tower of the World Trade Center the weekend (8th to 9th) prior to September 11th 2001. The “power down” conditions meant that for the floors his company Fiduciary Trust operated in (floors 90 and 94-97) there was no electricity - meaning CCTV cameras were out of operation and security doors were unlocked. Despite contacting the 911 Commission through their website and by mail Scott was never acknowledged or contacted.

Zero - an Investigation into 9/11

Zero’ is a powerful new film about 9/11 from Italy, currently doing the rounds of British cinemas, and is being translated into over 20 languages, to ensure that the whole world knows the truth about what happened on that day. It shows that the Muslim population of the world has been wrongly victimised and demonised (there are strong questions and suspicions about 7/7 too…) If you know nothing more about 9/11 than the ‘official’ version of events WATCH THIS FILM and think again.

Director: Franco Fracassi
Origin: Italy
Year: 2007
Duration: 105m

Using scientific experts’ testimonies and dramatic new witness accounts, this investigation into 9/11 presents a version of events that challenges previous statements concerning what occurred on that fateful day. Featuring presentations from Gore Vidal and Nobel-Prize winner Dario Fo, the film offers one central thesis: that the official version of events surrounding the attacks on 9/11 cannot be true. In the words of the Italian daily newspaper Il Corriere de la Sera: “What results is a sequence of contradictions, gaps and omissions of stunning gravity”. The importance of this film cannot be overstated. If its argument is correct, the justification for declaring the War on Terror is built on a series of outrageous lies.
