			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>September 5th, 2010<br />
by Shawn Hamilton, <a href="http://theswillbucket.com/?p=296">The Swill Bucket</a></p>
<p>Most observers consider the informal Coast to Coast “debate” between architect Richard Gage, chemist and scholar Niels Harrit, and physicists Dave Thomas and Kim Johnson to have been a success although who “won” depends largely on who you ask. The August 21st event, which was more of a conversation than a formal debate, explored what caused the destruction of the three World Trade Center buildings on September 11, 2001. Gage and Harrit argued that explosives destroyed the buildings while Thomas and Johnson reaffirmed the official explanation that office fires ultimately led to collapses.</p>
<p>A few days after the debate I asked Thomas to give me his impressions. “I think Kim and I did OK.  We certainly could have handled some of the questions better, but being on Coast to Coast is a bit like being in a pressure cooker,” he said. “There were several questions I had ready answers for, but never got a chance to squeeze them in.” Thomas said he doesn’t think he and Johnson swayed many committed “truthers,” but he also doubts that Gage and Harrit made many new converts either. “We gave people new to the debate a lot to think about,” he said.</p>
<p><strong>Physicist Dave Thomas</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-770 alignright" style="margin-left: 10px;" title="scholars3c" src="http://stj911.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/DaveThomas-150x150.jpg" alt="scholars3c" width="150" height="150" /></p>
<p>I asked Thomas what he considered to be among his strongest points delivered during the debate. He responded, “The collapses themselves, captured on so many films, and without the sounds of explosions going off. Plus, physics insights from the models and experiments I did helped me describe the collapses. Yes, they happened quickly (12 to 15 seconds), but were certainly not ‘free-fall.’  There was resistance as each floor was hit by the growing mass of the upper section.  I think the descriptions of WTC7?s long burning times and complicated and long collapses were productive also.  In the final moments of the show, a caller really thought he had me with his statement that the cores should have remained after the Twin Towers collapsed, and I was able to inform him that they did, and that these briefly-tottering columns are called “SPIRES,” and that they’re well-known, and discussed on the NMSR website.” Thomas added that these spires would not have existed if thermite had been used to cut columns.</p>
<p>Architect Richard Gage accuses Thomas and Johnson of “hand waving,” saying they simply dismiss inconvenient facts. “They just don’t deal with the evidence,” Gage said. “I thought that on several points Mr. Thomas avoided facing very clear sets of facts including the free-fall of Building 7. He tried to explain that because the inside of the building caved out first, there was just nothing left so the rest of the building came down, denying that over fifty very rigid columns of the perimeter gave absolutely no resistance to the collapse of this building up above that—in this case the perimeter of the building is falling at free-fall acceleration. This is one example of a direct denial of reality, Gage said adding. “At this point I’m doubting his sincerity.&#8221;</p>
<p>Early in the debate, Thomas used an analogy which many observers found unusual. He was discussing David Chandler, the physics teacher whose calculations regarding free-fall forced the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to modify its final report. “David Chandler took a movie of the tower collapse and measured it very carefully and found that the average acceleration was about two-thirds of the acceleration of gravity. And he contended because it’s accelerating at all, that means there’s not much of a dynamic force, and he estimates this force—which I calculate with my physics model as at least 30 times the weight, he only gets a third of the weight, and I think that’s really the fundamental flaw of 9-11 truth physics. They woefully underestimate the huge impact that—it’s like a ‘ton of bricks’ hitting you.</p>
<p>Then he launched into an analogy using a bowling ball.</p>
<p>“If you take a bowling ball and put it on your toe, that’s okay. If you drop it from 12 feet, you’re gonna break your toe,” Thomas said, “and that’s just what happened to those buildings.”</p>
<p><strong>Architect Richard Gage, AIA</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-770 alignright" style="margins: 10px;" title="scholars3c" src="http://stj911.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Richard_Gage_AIA.jpg" alt="scholars3c" /></p>
<p>Gage said of the bowling ball analogy, “The problem here is that, yes, you can put a bowling ball on the foot, and it’s okay, but first of all you don’t have a 12-foot drop in the case of the North Tower, and even if you did, when the bowling ball hits the foot, it slows down, while it’s crushing bone, etc.” Gage said. “But when the North Tower hit the sections below there was no slowing down. In fact, it speeded up, violating the laws of physics.”</p>
<p>Dan Roggenkamp, an American university teacher in Taiwan who listened to the debate, said he was particularly amused by the bowling ball comment. “One of the things that really struck me was how Thomas’ ‘side’ tried to use simple analogies to explain complex events, an example being the bowling ball analogy,” Roggenkamp said. “He did it a number of times. Rather than arguing as a scientist, he’s trying to persuade listeners using false analogies. Your toe is the World Trade Center. The bowling ball is the combined force of … whatever. It’s ridiculous.”</p>
<p>Thomas said he was irritated when Gage “brought out his laundry list” of things on which the two supposedly concur. “While we agree on a few technical details (microspheres were found, WTC 7 had a two-second period of free-fall, and so on), Gage over-exaggerated these agreements and put false words into my mouth time and again,” Thomas told me, adding a few items “for the record.”</p>
<p>“Gage said we agreed that planes hit two towers, three came down.  But, I also made the point that the third tower, WTC 7, was hit by one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world, something Gage dismisses. We agree that there were two seconds of free-fall at WTC 7 but disagree strongly that these prove controlled demolition,” he said. “The collapse took much longer than Gage claims—at least 16 seconds, not Gage’s 6.5 seconds. The collapse proceeded not only vertically, but horizontally as well. For a brief moment, a part of WTC 7 wasn’t supported as it collapsed. This in no way proves controlled demolition.”</p>
<p>I asked Gage how he believed Thomas had arrived at a different conclusion regarding the duration of the collapse. He explained, “There’s evidence that there is damage about six seconds prior to the overall collapse of the building—the east penthouse fails. The official theory tells us that that’s the result of an internal collapse starting on the 12th floor and column 79—due to the new phenomenon of “thermal expansion.” So, it’s theorized that this whole process takes about 15 seconds before the overall collapse. The problem is, if there was some sort of internal collapse that took out the interior columns, that would have taken out the penthouse long before it went down. So, since the penthouse on top—and I’m referring to the central penthouse—it went down a second before the overall portion of the building—then it was held up until that point by its structure, so its structure must have been all removed, synchronistically timed; therefore, the central penthouse went down a second before the overall structure, so the official theory of internal collapse leaving this building a cave inside doesn’t hold water.”</p>
<p>A good deal of the debate revolved around the possible use of thermite or nanothermite to destroy the buildings. Gage and Harrit argued that thermitic materials were used to cut core columns and explains the presence of iron microspheres in trade center dust.</p>
<p>“We agree there were microspheres in the dust but disagree completely about their significance,” Thomas said. “As I said, these were expected from the hot fires, and perhaps older welding traces, etc.  The iron microspheres are not evidence of thermite,” he said. Gage remarked, “Mr. Thomas is in denial. He’s not facing the reality that these spheres take 2800 degrees of temperature to create.”</p>
<p><strong>Industrial Physicist Kim Johnson</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-770 alignright" style="margins: 10px;" title="scholars3c" src="http://stj911.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/KimJohnson.jpg" alt="scholars3c" width="222" height="165" /></p>
<p>Thomas also said he agrees with Gage that thermite would create pools of molten iron, but despite witness testimony and photographic evidence Gage offers, he disputes that molten pools were ever found at the scene. “I say they were not, and only anecdotal stories of their existence are offered,” Thomas said. Elsewhere Kim Johnson has referred to these photos as “faked.” Similarly, Thomas and Johnson dismiss numerous reports of explosions by witnesses who insist they could distinguish between explosive blasts and other loud sounds. David Chandler claims acoustic evidence has been destroyed. “In any videos that would be reasonably expected to record the explosion sounds, the videos were cut and don’t show the segment where we now know a fast series of explosions occurred.  I am not allowed to say NIST cut them, but they are all cut: either the audio or the whole audio/video segment was cut out,” he said.</p>
<p>Kim Johnson felt one of his strongest points involved bomb-sniffing dogs. “I got Harrit on the dogs.  Apparently Gage does not understand how these dogs are trained and cross-trained.  Dogs sniff out the combination of the blend of aluminum and iron oxides which form the basis of the thermite incendiary,” Johnson said. “Gage was making things up as he went along, or repeating earlier things that were made up or extreme speculation and treating them as fact, and this was one of his major errors.”</p>
<p>Gage didn’t take that criticism seriously. “Thermite is aluminum and iron. There’s aluminum and iron in everything, so there’s no way dogs can be trained to sniff for it,” Gage said. “Well, I won’t say there’s no way; I’m not a dog expert either, but these are normal office building materials, and you can’t train dogs for that, and that’s probably one of the reasons thermite was used,” he said.</p>
<p>In an interview with the German web site gulli.com, a reporter asked Niels Harrit, “Why did no bomb sniffing dog bark?” Harrit responded, “All the bomb sniffing dogs were sent home by the security company two weeks before. Furthermore, they are trained on conventional explosives which smell rather characteristically.” Some have suggested that the dogs would be trained to look for ignition devices, not thermite itself.</p>
<p>Johnson told me in an email message, “Truthers are still conspirators who aren’t quite sure of who pulled this off, but like to believe this kind of stuff, and the scientists who studied it got it right.” He also claims he tried to “test” me with some convoluted scheme that remains unclear. I never found the message he refers to and don’t know what he is talking about, but this is what he said:</p>
<p>“If you look back over your email, you will see that I worked an equation into one of them that should have said F = m * (dV/dt).  Only I messed it up a bit (I don’t remember quite how at the moment) to see whether you would catch it. Dave did but you didn’t. I do apologize for deliberately doing that, but it was a test— a test that I did not think you would pass. Neither will most of the rest of the world, especially those who listen to Coast to Coast, few of whom are scientists.  It set the level of understanding.  It’s why Dave and I came up with the bowling ball analogy,” Johnson said.</p>
<p>I wrote back to Johnson saying I would have told him I lack a science background had he simply asked—that there was no need for subterfuge. The occasion seemed to reveal an unnecessarily deceitful approach.</p>
<p>Elsewhere Johnson says of David Chandler, “He certainly does not understand Newtonian mechanics, and neither does most of the population—especially the Coast to Coast listeners who have their minds already made up (probably most). Most cannot understand the real details of why scientists at NIST use and trust FEM models.  Few even have a clue as to what an FEM model is!”</p>
<p><strong>Professor Niels Harrit</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: right;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-770 alignright" style="margin-left: 10px;" title="Niels Harrit" src="http://stj911.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/niels-harrit.jpg" alt="scholars3c" width="155" height="170" /></p>
<p>So, it’s clear that according to Johnson, most people, including other scientists, are unqualified to understand why he, Thomas, and NIST have been right all along.</p>
<p>Danish scientist Niels Harrit, a chemist and professor at the University of Copenhagen who participated in the debate via telephone, said afterwards that the so-called “debate” was in no way scientific. Harrit pointed out that when scientists debate an investigation, they agree on the observations; otherwise, there is nothing to talk about. If A and B are both looking at the same thing and A says, “This is black” while B says “This is white,” it won’t work. Harrit said this is essentially what happens in discussions with Thomas, Johnson, and others like them. “They poison—quite deliberately—the supposed communication with false information. Luckily, they are not very clever, so they are easily caught—if the host lets you! Many lines of arguments were cut off—also as a consequence of the trick Thomas has learned to say three things at a time, preventing you from answering. You may choose:  Either Thomas and Johnson are very stupid or they are being paid to pretend to be. The last thing is intellectually dishonest, of course, and in my universe, dishonesty is a kind of stupidity,” Harrit said.</p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>We need to continue to seek the truth about 9/11</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-weight: normal; color: #000099;">August 8, 2010, </span><span style="font-weight: normal; color: #000099;">Kevin Ryan, <em><a href="http://www.heraldtimesonline.com/stories/2010/08/08/digitalcity.qp-6963470.sto">The Bloomington Herald-Times</a></em></span><span style="font-weight: normal; color: #000099;"> </span></p>
<p>Over the past three years, a group of concerned Bloomington citizens has worked to raise the public consciousness about the need for 9/11 truth. These folks are sometimes called &#8220;conspiracy theorists&#8221; because they do not believe the official version of events. Once people get by their initial reactions to 9/11 questioning, however, much can be learned in the process.  To begin with, we all understand the definition of a conspiracy to be a secret plan, among two or more people, to commit a crime. Yet when faced with emotionally charged events like 9/11, many of us pretend that the definition of the word has changed.</p>

<p>Most people recognize that the events of 9/11 were the driving force  behind the “War on Terror.” Less well recognized is the fact that this  borderless war against an ill-defined enemy has expedited economic  collapse, driven totalitarian legislation and generated a great deal of  animosity against the United States throughout the world. The pain and  suffering caused by 9/11 comes with an opportunity, however. Through a  better understanding of those tragic events, we can achieve crucial  insights that can not only end the wars but might ultimately lead to  lasting positive change in human society.</p>

<p>9/11 Truth News is intended to be an accessible and factually oriented first reference for those curious about 9/11 truth. Our movement must serve its audience and this site was created for that purpose.  The key to effectively serving this purpose is our strategy. That starts with the site being solely related to 9/11 truth and edited by <a href="http://911truthnews.com/about-911-truth-news/team/">four longtime movement activists</a>. With a good deal of thought about who we need to reach and the obstacles that stand in the way of reaching them, the editors of 911truthnews.com will be publishing only that which we believe to be the best this movement has to offer.</p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>The Time is Now<br />
On the Eleventh Day of Every Month<br />
We Unite in Action for Truth until Justice</strong></span></p>
<p>In the absence of sane leadership, we intend to do what people have always done to effect positive change: <a href="http://truthaction.org/?q=node/5">we will mobilize in massive numbers</a>.  On the Eleventh Day of Every Month, we call on activists everywhere to take to the streets in the name of truth.  In every town and every city &#8211; and by any nonviolent means necessary &#8211; we will reach out together to our fellow citizens and <a href="http://truthaction.org/?q=node/27">spread the word</a>. All that is required is participation by a small number of people already awake and willing to stand up and speak out for truth and justice. The laws of gravity &#8211; so absent from the NIST report &#8211; will take care of the rest.  So began the Civil Rights Movement. It did not begin with Martin Luther King. A great man did not appear from on high and lead the masses to victory. It began with regular people getting off the couch, <a href="http://truthaction.org/?q=node/18">getting together</a> and standing up for truth and justice.</p>

</span></p>
<p>No one has investigated why false tracks continued being injected onto NORAD radar screens long after the U.S. military was alerted to the real-world crisis taking place that morning.  We need to know who was responsible for transmitting the simulated “exercise inputs” to radar scopes. It has been reported that there was a “simulations team” working at NEADS the morning of September 11.  Was this team putting out the false tracks? If so, who were its members?</p>

<p>How could it have happened that the organization responsible for defending U.S. airspace repeatedly practiced scenarios that so closely resembled the 9/11 attacks in the years leading up to those attacks? And considering that the existence of these plane-into-building training scenarios has largely gone unreported, might there have been other, similar scenarios practiced for by NORAD–or other U.S. military organizations–that we do not yet know of? A new investigation into 9/11 is clearly urgently required. And the role of these training scenarios is one of many aspects of the attacks that must be thoroughly examined.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.ic911studies.org/">International Center for 9/11 Studies</a> has secured the release of hundreds of hours of video footage and tens  of thousands of photographs used by the National Institute of Standards  and Technology (NIST) for its investigation of the collapse of the World  Trade Center Twin Towers and Building 7. This material is being  released to the Center under the Freedom of Information Act, in response  to a lawsuit the Center filed against NIST. We are currently looking at the best ways to distribute these  materials to interested researchers and journalists around the world.</p>

<p>Dear Mr. President:<br />
Why have you failed us?  Two years ago, when you were asking for our votes for president, your campaign said you supported the <a href="http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20100729130817820">James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act</a>, which would provide us with the health care we earned through our service to this country. Since that time, though, you’ve said absolutely nothing about the heroes of 9/11. We thought you would be our champion, because the last administration failed us. Thousands of brave men &amp; woman need your voice &amp; support.</p>

<span style="color: #333399;">August 11, 2010, Joseph De Avila,<em> The Wall Street Journal</em></span></p>
<p>The way that 9/11 is remembered will soon be transformed.  Located beneath a maze of construction at Ground Zero, the National September 11 Memorial Museum is taking shape and has made significant progress. Members of the media took a tour of the cavernous, 120,000-square-foot museum site on Tuesday.  The museum opening is slated for Sept. 11, 2012. Museum officials expect it to become one of the city’s most popular tourist destinations, drawing as many as seven million visitors a year.</p>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>Russian TV Channel Pushes &#8216;Patriot&#8217; Conspiracy Theories</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #333399;">August 20, 2010, Sonia Scherr, Southern Poverty Law Center</span></p>
<p>At the time of the last anniversary of Sept. 11, the channel published a four-part series on its website titled  ”911 Reasons why 9/11 was (probably) an inside job.” The articles, by Russia Today commentator Robert Bridge, report uncritically on discredited notions about Sept. 11, including the possibility that a bomb inside the towers contributed to their collapse and that the CIA had advance knowledge of the attack. On March 10, one of Russia Today’s top stories was headlined “Americans continue to fight for 9/11 truth.” That story, about a Pennsylvania gathering of Sept. 11 truthers, reported incorrectly that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) listed Rudkowski’s We Are Change as a hate group along with the Ku Klux Klan.

<span style="color: #333399;">Alexander Zaitchik, Southern Poverty Law Center, Alternet</span></p>
<p>In the weeks and months after the attacks, a subculture of “9/11 Truthism” emerged in which the attacks were seen as anything but a simple case of well-trained Al Qaeda operatives flying planes into landmark buildings. Instead, “truthers” argued that the World Trade Center buildings were destroyed by controlled demolitions, that a missile brought down United Airlines 93, and that a missile — and not an airliner at all — struck the Pentagon. Who was responsible? The U.S. government, of course.<span style="color: #ffffff;"> </span> See full story <strong><a href="http://www.alternet.org/news/147851/top_10_right-wing_conspiracy_theories?page=entire" target="_blank">here</a></strong> and discussion<strong> <a href="http://911truthnews.com/southern-poverty-law-center-attacks-russia-today-over-911/">here</a></strong>.</p>

<p>The instant this Mosque fiasco turned into a full-blown media circus it became clear that the Truthers had to come up with some sort of position on the matter. From their point of view, of course, there’s nothing terribly offensive about putting a Mosque at Ground Zero because, after all, the Muslims and al Qaeda had nothing to do with 9/11. Instead it was George Bush, Dick Cheney, the CIA, the Mossad, the Council of Foreign Relations and whoever else was hanging out behind the conspiratorial curtain.</p>

<p>If we are going to talk about 9/11, why don’t we talk about how not so much the people who died on 9/11 were disgraced by the possibility of an Islamic athletic center several blocks away; how about the fact that they were disgraced by a president who let it happen?” he asked. “Who went on vacation for the entire month of August after he was warned in writing that Osama bin Laden was actually finding targets in NYC and learning how to take these planes and do terrible things with them? The thing itself said ‘hijacking’ and they did nothing about it.” …</p>

<span style="color: #333399;">August  29, 2010, 911TruthNews</span></p>
<p>A new report released by a think tank called Demos warns of the hazardous effects of conspiracy theories on society and recommends strategies for governments to mitigate these effects, including the infiltration of websites. The report, called The Power of Unreason: Conspiracy Theories, Extremism and Counterterrorism, says “most notoriously and influentially, the ‘9/11 truth movement’ has questioned the official accounts of 9/11 and has become a large and growing political force.”</p>

<span style="color: #333399;">August   25, 2010, Carol Brouillet, IndyBay.org</span></p>
<p>The film contains some priceless exchanges and interviews with random   students and the administration officials at BYU, which are   enlightening, frightening, and humorous.  Most impressive are the   interviews with Dr. Jones’s scientific collaborator Dr. Jeffrey   Farrer, as well as views of the lab and their experiments. There is an   excellent clip documenting the circumstances of the gathering of the   first dust sample that Dr. Jones and Dr. Farrer examined together.  The most dramatic, surprising, and damning interview, however, was   with the man, C. Martin Hinckley, who first threatened Jones and then  tried to bribe him to   stop his research on the evidence of explosives.  His threats in fact   materialize later in the media attacks and the administrative leave   that ended Professor Jones’s teaching career at BYU.</p>

<span style="color: #000000;">August 3rd, 2010</span></p>
<p>A highly anticipated debate between two members of Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth and two physicists is scheduled for <strong>Saturday, August 21st, 2010</strong>. The debate will air on the popular late night talk show Coast to Coast AM with host Ian Punnett between 10pm &#8211; 2am Pacific time.</p>
<p>Richard Gage, AIA, founder of Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth and an architect for over twenty years, will be joined by Danish scientist, Niels Harrit, Associate Professor at University of Copenhagen—a chemist and university teacher with expertise in organic chemistry, photochemistry, fluorescence, and nanotechnology.</p>
<p>Challenging Gage and Harrit’s contention that explosives were responsible for the buildings’ destruction will be mathematician and physicist Dave Thomas from a group called New Mexicans for Science and Reason (NMSR).  Thomas, a Fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry, publisher of Skeptical Inquirer magazine, will be joined by his associate, industrial physicist Kim Johnson, also on the Board of NMSR and past president of the New Mexico Academy of Science.</p>

by Shawn Hamilton</p>
<p>Soon after Richard Gage, AIA, became interested in the subject of the destruction of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers on 9/11, he began debating critics who felt qualified to challenge the explosive evidence. Gage twice debated Ron Craig (International Society of Explosives Engineers), as well as Mark Roberts (tour guide), Michael Shermer (founder of Skeptic Magazine), and Dave Thomas (mathematician and physicist).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>by Clare Swinney on Sun, 11/22/2009<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-489" style="margin: 10px;" title="Richard_Gage_AIA" src="http://stj911.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Richard_Gage_AIA1-252x300.jpg" alt="Richard_Gage_AIA" width="193" height="231" /></em></p>
<p>The Hard Evidence Tour Down Under hit a high note on Saturday afternoon at the Te Papa Museum in Wellington, when over 650 turned up to hear Richard Gage, the spokesperson for Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, (AE911Truth), talk about what really happened to World Trade Centre (WTC) 1, 2, and 7 on 9/11. It was the largest crowd the architect and founder of AE911Truth has ever spoken to since he began spreading the truth – what he calls the Architecture of Destruction, about the evidence of 9/11, and revealing the buildings were brought down by controlled demolition, not by jet fuel and fires.</p>
<p>Gage spoke during the entire two-and-a-half hour long event. Says Jeremy Morrison, who videoed the highlights, which will be posted on YouTube: “It was a great presentation, even for someone like me who knows a lot of this stuff already. I still got a lot out of it, mainly about the science behind the controlled demolition. It’s come a long way and he covered a lot of ground.” Morrison, who kept a watchful eye on the proceedings on the stage, as well as in the audience, said he was aware of only one person who loudly voiced his disapproval, and the heckler, which Morrison caught on camera, looked emotionally shaken by what he had learnt about 9/11. “Apart from him, the audience loved Richard. There was a really good atmosphere,” offers Morrison.</p>
<p>Says Helen Waddington, who was one the team who worked behind the scenes to contribute to the event’s success: “It was surreal. It was great when so many turned up. I had a smile on my face when the hundreds of people came!”</p>
<p>As fewer than 300 had been expected to attend, the Wellingtonian 9/11 truth activists involved, had booked the 300-seat Soundings Theatre at Te Papa. It wasn’t until the day of the presentation, did they realise a far larger venue was needed.</p>
<p>By 1pm, an hour before the presentation’s scheduled start, 328 had registered and a multitude more expected to attend, largely owing to the fact that Gage had received good media coverage. As well as a fair and balanced article in the Wellington paper, The Capital Times, he was interviewed by veteran radio interviewer Kim Hill, on the day of the presentation. Although Hill made repeated attempts during their 36 minutes-long exchange, to throw a wet blanket over the flames of truth he was throwing, her efforts were ultimately thwarted by his steely resolve to convey the facts. As one listener put it, it was very obvious as to who was invested in getting to the truth of the matter and who was invested in obfuscation.</p>
<p>Owing to the interest generated by the Gage-Hill interview, many phoned the Te Papa Museum to make enquiries, alerting the staff to the fact that the 300-seater theatre would not accommodate the numbers expected to swamp the venue. Offers Waddington: “Thankfully, Te Papa were excellent at managing the overflow of people. They were able to set up live audio and visual feeds in the large Oceania conference room, which held approximately 320.” Waddington, who did head counts, said there were about 648 people there for the entire presentation and that two of the event’s organisers estimated that around 100 people had to be turned away. “I estimated we may actually have had 700 who were definitely interested and close to 1000 people there at the end of the day, as visitors to Te Papa Museum were milling in and out of the Oceania room and listening to Richard speak all afternoon,” she said.</p>
<p>At the start of the talk, Gage asked for a show of hands of those in the Soundings Theatre who believed the building collapses on 9/11 were due to controlled demolition. About two-thirds raised their hands. Then, near the conclusion of his talk, he asked, who still believed the official story – and only two raised their hands. The audience, evidently grateful for having someone so adept at ripping the mask of Osama bin laden off 9/11, thanked Gage for his efforts, with a sustained round of applause.</p>

<p>Richard Gage will be speaking in Auckland on the 30th of November, at the Trades Hall, 147 Great North Rd, Grey Lynn, from 6pm.

<small>— AE911Truth News Desk<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-476" style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;" title="RichardGageAUSTRALIA" src="http://stj911.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/RichardGageAUSTRALIA-225x300.jpg" alt="RichardGageAUSTRALIA" width="240" height="320" /><img class="size-medium wp-image-477 alignleft" style="margin: 10px;" title="StevenJonesAUSTRALIA" src="http://stj911.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/StevenJonesAUSTRALIA-300x225.jpg" alt="StevenJonesAUSTRALIA" width="269" height="201" /></small></p>
<p>Following a grueling 14+ hour plane trip to Australia as the start of the <a href="http://www.ae911truth.org/ausjapantour">2009 Australasia/Japan Tour</a>, Richard Gage, AIA has crossed the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Date_Line" target="_blank">International Date Line</a>. This means that, based on San Francisco Bay Area time (America/Los_Angeles Time Zone and all of the U.S.), it will often be tomorrow in Australia, New Zealand and Japan. The current time difference is +19 hours.</p>
<p>Mr. Gage left for Australia on Sunday, November 8, so that he would arrive in time to be with local activists on their 11th of the Month rally. See photos in the gallery and the Tour Blog at the left column of the tour page. Mr. Gage&#8217;s first presentation will be on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. as part of <a href="http://thehardevidence.com/" target="_blank">The Hard Evidence Conference</a>.</p>
<p>Stay tuned for more information as we receive it and are able to post it.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.thehardevidence.com/site/sydney/speakers/">Speakers</a> will include <strong>Richard Gage, AIA, Dr. Steven Jones, Janice Matthews, John Bursill, Dr. Frank Legge,<strong> </strong></strong><strong>James O&#8217;Neill</strong><strong><strong>, </strong>Dr David Leifer<strong>,</strong></strong><strong> Cosmos and Luke Rudkowski</strong>.</p>
<p><span>On Remembrance Day 2009 (11th of the 11th at 11am) this coming Wednesday, members of the conference will meet at the ABC Studios in Ultimo, Sydney to publicly ask &#8220;why the ABC </span><span>Studios </span><span>continue to fail in their fiduciary (of trust) duty to inform the Australian Public of the news about an alternate view of 9/11.&#8221;</span> Organizer John Bursill states:</p>
<blockquote><p><span>You may be surprised that after spending many hundreds of dollars in Press Releases to media in Australia through the AAP News Wire (the best way to access journalists) not one mainstream news journalist has contacted us about the &#8220;Hard Evidence Tour&#8221; <a href="http://www.thehardevidence.com/" target="_blank">www.thehardevidence.com</a> ? You might also be surprised that &#8220;our&#8221; ABC the national government broadcaster has not yet reported on the discovery of Nanothermite in the dust at the WTC or on the growing numbers of Architects and Engineers questioning the official version of the 9/11 Attacks represented by Richard Gage (AIA) and <a href="http://www.ae911truth.org/" target="_blank">www.AE911Truth.org</a> . These are just some of the continuing failures of our tax payer funded news broadcaster the ABC, so it once again must be brought to account by protest! </span></p></blockquote>

<p>The final stop was the White House where Gage, with Slesinger, laid an AE911Truth banner on the sidewalk and addressed the tourists gathered there. Gage got into a heated but cordial debate with a man who identified himself as Kevin, a &#8220;reformed truther&#8221; and the former &#8220;debunking director&#8221; on the JREF Forum.</p>

<p><span style="color: #333333;"><strong>a)  New Essays Debunk National Geographic&#8217;s 9/11 Hitpiece</strong></span></p>
<h3>Finally, an Apology from the National Geographic Channel</h3>

He was also the director of the Department of Defense’s Blast Mitigation for Structures program, and is therefore another example of the many explosives experts that came up with only non-explosive stories for what happened on 9/11<br />

<h3>Exchange of Emails (March 2009) with Robert Erickson, Producer of the National Geographic Special on 9/11</h3>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">by Steven Jones</span></p>
<p>A special on 9/11 has just been shown on the National Geographic Channel, produced by Robert Erickson. Robert also conducted interviews with me and others. In March 2009, Prof. David Ray Griffin and I and Gregg Roberts exchanged emails with Robert Erickson which demonstrate our efforts to get Mr. Erickson and his team to be accurate and fair in their treatment of our scientific work regarding 9/11 – particularly the evidence for the use of explosives in the World Trade Center destruction. For the record, then, I have pulled together our exchanges of emails.<br />

<h3>National Geographic Does 9/11:<br />
Another Icon Debased in Service of the Big Lie</h3>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">by Jim Hoffman</span></p>
<p>The 2009 iteration of this spectacle is notable for the contrast between the designated brand and the obligatory message. That brand, best known for its high-brow photojournalistic National Geographic Magazine, has existed since 1889, complete with a non-profit Society dedicated to education in geography, archaeology, history, world cultures, and natural science. One can&#8217;t help but wonder how National Geographic&#8217;s many benefactors would feel if they understood how the brand was being used to prop up the &#8220;War on Terror&#8221; with its Popular-Mechanics-style attack piece to be aired on August 31, 2009.<br />

To reach free-fall speed, Jones explained, the building’s floor supports would have needed to be blown apart. In other words, the carnage of 9/11 would have required another catalyst of destruction beyond hijacked planes—an explosive to cause the buildings to implode.</p>

<p>Tonight we welcome Dr. Frank Legge back to show for an extended discussion on one the most vexed questions about 9/11: what hit the Pentagon?  Dr. Legge has written <a href="http://www.journalof911studies.com/volume/2009/WhatHitPentagonDrLegge.pdf">an important paper</a> on this topic which has been published at the <a href="http://www.journalof911studies.com/">Journal of 9/11 Studies.</a> As Dr. Legge stresses, there are two essential points to note:</p>
<ul>
<li>Nothing should have hit the Pentagon.</li>
<li>This implies a stand-down order existed, as appears to be confirmed by Mineta’s testimony to the 9/11 Commission.The authorities could easily show us what hit the Pentagon but they do not.</li>

<h3 class="storyTitle">Demolition Access to the World Trade Center Towers:  Part One &#8211; Tenants</h3>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">by Kevin R. Ryan<br />
July 9, 2009</span></p>
<p>Who could have placed explosives in the World Trade Center towers?  To answer that question, we should first consider who had access to the buildings, specifically the areas of the buildings that would be relevant to a demolition operation.<br />
<a href="http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20090713033854249">http://911review.com/articles/ryan/demolition_access_p1.html</a></p>
<h3 class="storyTitle">Demolition Access To The WTC Towers: Part Two &#8211; Security</h3>
<p><span style="color: #000080;">by Kevin R. Ryan<br />
August 13, 2009</span></p>
<p>Given the considerable evidence in support of the WTC demolition theory, it is reasonable to ask if Al Qaeda&#8217;s reach allowed it to have unlimited and secretive access to the three WTC skyscrapers that were destroyed that day, which were among the most well-secured facilities in the world at the time.<br />

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>What Can You Do?</strong></span></p>
<h3>Calling for a Media Focused Protest on 9/11/09!</h3>
<p>By John Bursill – Australian Activist and Engineer</p>
<p><strong>What I propose is an all out, all day attempt to get the “<a href="http://www.bentham-open.org/pages/content.php?TOCPJ/2009/00000002/00000001/7TOCPJ.SGM">Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe</a>” paper reported on in the press by demonstrating in front of corporate media facilities worldwide</strong>.  With simply the “Thermitic Materials Paper” in one hand and the “9/11 Blueprint for Truth” DVD in the other, we have a completely rational and non-conspiratorial basis to demand that the press investigate the possibility of controlled demolition of the World Trade Center buildings 1, 2 and 7 on 9/11.</p>
<p>See full story <a href="http://911blogger.com/node/20895">here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Contribute an Essay or Write Content for the Website</strong><br />
If you’ve written a 9/11-related essay or article or letter to the editor which you would like to contribute to the website, please pass it on to us and we will consider it for publication.</p>
<p><strong>Host an Event</strong><br />
Please consider hosting an event featuring members of STJ911 to present a scientific argument of truth of the attacks on 9/11/01. Hosting an event may seem like a daunting task but can be tremendously rewarding both for a local 9/11 group and its community, as well as the movement itself. Several events in 2006 and 2007 were extremely successful and focused on science, were held on university campuses and garnered important news coverage (see: <a href="../../events.html" target="_blank">http://stj911.org/events.html</a>). Those who have hosted events involving Scholars members would be glad to give pointers and recommendations for your event. Campuses are one of the best locations for credible educational events.</p>
<p><strong>Participate in the Information War <em>Online</em></strong><br />
While the mainstream media typically refuses to cover the unanswered questions of 9/11/01, or simply present ad hominem-filled diatribes, dozens of discussion forums all over the Internet are raging in an information war to keep the facts away from the public or distort the ones already available. If you enjoy debate and discussion and are online often, we urge you to get involved on forums and post links and strong arguments to make the case for our work. Many debates are time-wasting, but some are worthwhile, so choose how to spend your time best. Always include links to your favorite websites when you post, using phrases that people are likely to search for in the visible text of your link. This helps the search engine ranking of the page you are linking to.</p>
<p><strong>Participate in the Information War <em>Offline</em></strong><br />
Letters to the editor, calls to radio shows, emails to representatives, and roadside actions are some of the most important work we can engage in because we take our message directly to the public and our public officials. A single banner on a multi-lane highway for just minutes can be read by thousands of individuals who never get online at all. Participate in an action, letter or call-in and report back on a discussion forum, ours or any of the others.</p>
<p><strong>Edit a 9/11 Page on Wikipedia</strong><br />
Recently, more 9/11 activists have been contributing to Wikipedia and have managed to gain new ground for pages there. Please consider editing one of these pages:</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_conspiracy_theories" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_conspiracy_theories</a><br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_Truth_Movement" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_Truth_Movement</a><br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_demolition_hypothesis_for_the_collapse_of_the_World_Trade_Center" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_demolition_hypothesis</a></p>

<p>DENVER – July 30, 2009 – With an emphasis on airing thought-provoking programming and presenting views divergent to mainstream thought, <a href="http://www.kbdi.org/about_kbdi/press_room.cfm?archive=0&amp;id=271">KBDI-12 will air <em>9/11: Blueprint for Truth</em> on Saturday, Aug. 15 at 7 p.m.</a></p>
<p>Join Richard Gage, member of the American Institute of Architects and founder of Architects &amp; Engineers for 9/11 Truth, in a live KBDI-12 studio interview as he expresses what he believes to be falsehoods of the collapses of the World Trade Center buildings.</p>
<p>Produced by a non-partisan association of architects, engineers and affiliates, this groundbreaking, multimedia presentation presents ideas and theories that all three World Trade Center buildings were destroyed by controlled demolitions on September 11, 2001, not by airplane collisions and fire.</p>
<p>The documentary declares that although independent investigations commenced within weeks of the Pearl Harbor tragedy and the John F. Kennedy assassination, the same was not true with the September 11 attacks. The first 9/11 hearing did not begin until 14 months after the incident.</p>
<p>A full schedule of air times for all of the programs can be found at <a href="http://www.kbdi.org/">www.KBDI.org</a>.</p>
