b) New Kevin Ryan Essay with Intro by Don Paul
Demolition Access to the WTC Towers:Part Four – Clean Up
by Kevin R. Ryan
In addition to the actual placement of explosives, those involved would need to clean up any evidence of explosives remaining at the site. In this final essay of a multi-part series, it will be seen that certain people had the means, opportunity and motive to destroy such evidence at Ground Zero, and that something was being hidden after the buildings fell. These facts will be reviewed in light of the knowledge that the debris was considered highly sensitive and nearly all the steel evidence was quickly destroyed.

Good Riddance to the Big Lie: Kevin Ryan’s ‘Demolition Access …’Lights the Shadows
by Don Paul
Now Kevin Ryan has built for us one more great resource. His ‘Demolition Access …’ forms in its breadth and depths and strata something like a cavernous mountain of light that might be seen to face the skyscrapers that were taken down on September 11, 2001. Peer into the shadows it exposes. Follow its labyrinthian connections. Trace the links between the Boards and conspirators among the millionaires and billionaires it names. See what happened when more than 2600 died–never forget–and see what is further happening to your nation, your integrity and sanity, your childrens’ future, and your world. Feel that a good soul has bravely brought you news that may save your family.

c) American Behavioral Scientist Features “State Crimes Against Democracy”
In Denial of Democracy: Social Psychological Implications for Public Discourse on State Crimes Against Democracy Post-9/11
by Laurie A. Manwell
To preserve what is left of North American democracy—and our responsibility for tolerance and restraint toward citizens of nondemocratic states—the culture of fear and political intolerance and a governing dissociative mindset of “democracy for the few” must be subjected to immediate serious public scrutiny and debate. This must begin with the thorough and scientific vetting of evidence that contradicts the U.S. government’s official account of 9/11, on which two wars of aggression have been predicated, with the possibility of a third looming in the near future; for it was this event, more than any other in modern history, that has precipitated an epochal change in the social psychology of “We, the People.”

New Research on State Crimes Against Democracy
by Peter Phillips and Mickey Huff
Credible scientific evidence brings into question the possibility that some aspects of the events of 9/11 involved State Crimes Against Democracy. Psychologically, this is a very hard concept for Americans to even consider. However, ignoring the issue in the context of multiple proven SCADs since World War II seems far more dangerous for democracy than the consequences of future scientific inquiry and transparent, fact-based investigative reporting. Anything short of complete, open discourse based on all the evidence about these critical issues in our society relating to the possible continuation of SCADs is simply a matter of censorship.

d) Professor Niels Harrit in Scientific Debate on WTC Building 7
One Tower, Two Views
On March 10th at Copenhagen University, in a debate arranged by the Danish newspaper Politiken and Copenhagen University, titled, “One Tower – Two Views”, Dr. Niels Harrit and Prof. of Physics at the Niels Bohr Institute of Copenhagen University, Per Hedegaard, debated the science of 9/11, with the WTC7 collapse as pivotal subject. Each had 20 minutes of solo presentation on the WTC7 collapse, followed by a debate between the two professors with questions from the audience. This is the first live presentation and debate in a scientific forum ever in Denmark. Unfortunately no recording was allowed, but it received some coverage in the Danish media.

9/11 cover up or crazy conspiracy
by Emil Verner, University Post
World Trade Center 7 (WTC7) imploded seven hours after the 9/11 attacks on New York City in 2001. This Wednesday in Copenhagen, nine years later, a crowd had turned up to watch Lecturer Niels Harrit and Professor Per Hedegård debate its collapse. While Harrit argued that it must have been a deliberate controlled demolition that has been covered up, his opponent Hedegård countered that this is an absurd conspiracy theory.

e) New Essay by Michael Green
Contradictions for Socialists, Progressives & Domestic Covert Ops
An Open Letter to Patrick Martin of www.wsws.org
by Michael Green, March 13, 2010
The fact is that the ruling class not only orchestrated 9/11, but as part of its showmanship, as part of its “shock and awe” declaration of power, blew up three buildings in the middle of downtown Manhattan and we people have been relatively helpless to organize against this vast state crime. In fact, some of the very solid 9/11 researchers reject this possibility out-of-hand (e.g., Michael Ruppert, Mark Robinowitz, John Judge, Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, Paul Thompson). But if you look closely at the real 9/11 brainpower with scientific training and credentials, there is virtual unanimity about both conclusions and about what counts as good evidence for those conclusions. No opinions, no speculation, no nonsense. I did not expect you to put down your Trotsky in favor of becoming a “Truther,” but I did hope that your modified understanding of how domestic covert operations are done in the U.S. might better inform your writings.

a) Paper on Informed Trades Includes September 11th Attack
Detecting Informed Trading Activities in the Options Markets
Marc Chesney, Remo Crameri & Loriano Mancini
University of Zurich – Swiss Banking Institute (ISB); Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne
December 11, 2009
Excerpt:
“In the banking sector 14 informed trading activities are detected, 6 related to quarterly financial/earnings announcements, 5 to the terrorist attacks of September 11th, and 3 not identified. For example the number of new put options with underlying stock in Bank of America, Citigroup, J.P. Morgan and Merrill Lynch issued in the days before the terrorist attacks was at an unusually high level. The realized gains from such trading strategies are around $11 million.”

c) 9/11 Timeline Updates
Updates to the 9/11 Timeline as of March 16, 2010: War Games, Blackwater, KSM
Excerpt:
“Some other new entries concern the family of Osama bin Laden, who may or may not be alive. His son Saad escaped from house arrest in Iran around late 2008, had his assets frozen by the US early next year, and was then assassinated by the CIA. Subsequently, bin Laden’s daughter Iman also escaped from house arrest in Iran. Finally, some of the members of the Hamburg cell worked at a local computer company, and a car rented by some of the other hijackers was repeatedly seen at Boston’s Logan Airport in the days before 9/11.

a) 9/11 Truth on ABC’s Nightline
Will Lee Hamilton examine the evidence?
by Kevin Ryan, 03/13/2010
This week, ABC’s Nightline televised an excerpt from an interview with Lee Hamilton, former vice chairman of the 9/11 Commission. The purpose of the interview excerpt was to suggest that those who produced the official reports of what heppened on 9/11 are willing to openly examine all evidence related to those crimes. Since I’ve met with Mr. Hamilton privately before, I exchanged a few messages with him to follow-up on my previous attempts to get him to examine the evidence in a public forum. Due to the critical nature of this question, I’m posting the exchanges here for the record.

b) ABC’s Nightline interviews Coleen Rowley at 9/11 Conference
Also see Rowley’s post on Huffington Post (3/10/10):
“Burying” the Truth: Nightline Reporter Channels Bill O’Reilly and Does a Hatchet Job
by Coleen Rowley
“When young, smiling female producer Katie Hinman identified herself as being with ABC and asked for an interview, I had only just arrived at the conference. So although I was a little surprised that the Nightline TV crew was there, I immediately consented to an interview before anyone had a chance to warn me that the TV show was trying to concoct a connection between the conference and the mentally ill young man who had been killed a few days before while shooting at Pentagon guards.”

c) New Support for AE911Truth
“The Jersey Girls” Support AE911Truth
“We have taken a lot of criticism from so called debunkers & unconscious government officials that our work is ‘upsetting the family members’. Let it be clear that only the truth about the deaths of these innocent people will bring healing to their loved ones. AE911Truth has ever increasing support from them to reveal the truth to the American people.”

d) Washington Post Attempts Smear of Japanese Leader Who Questions Official Story
A leading Japanese politician espouses a 9/11 fantasy
The Washington Post, Editorial, Monday, March 8, 2010
Mr. Fujita’s ideas about the attack on the World Trade Center, which he shared with us in a recent interview, are too bizarre, half-baked and intellectually bogus to merit serious discussion. He questions whether it was really the work of terrorists; suggests that shadowy forces with advance knowledge of the plot played the stock market to profit from it; peddles the fantastic idea that eight of the 19 hijackers are alive and well; and hints that controlled demolition rather than fire or debris may be a more likely explanation for at least the collapse of the building at 7 World Trade Center, which was adjacent to the twin towers.

.
An interview that ran off the track
By Yukihisa Fujita, The Japan Times, Sunday, Mar. 14, 2010
After the interview ended and Hockstader closed his laptop, he mentioned that he had noticed from my resume that I had raised the issue of the 9/11 terror attacks in a Diet committee and asked whether I had some doubts about this issue. In response, I explained the circumstances that had led me to become involved in the 9/11 issue and pointed out a number of points that remained unexplained about the events of that day. I assumed that this question was separate from the interview just ended.

i) Rowley Says She Was “Minded” During 9/11 Testimony
Colleen Rowley: Minders Ensured She Didn’t Say Anything About 9/11 the FBI Didn’t WANT Told, Even to Government Officials With Top Security Clearance
Rowley said that in her testimony to the Joint Intelligence Committee regarding 9/11, she was “minded”. Specifically, she said that “FBI minders” listened to her every word, to trail her and make sure that she didn’t tell government personnel with top secret clearance even higher than her own anything which the FBI did not want to be told. While this might sound fantastic, it is nothing new. Rowley said the same had happened to Daniel Ellsberg went to members of Congress with the Pentagon papers.

Host an Event
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: http://stj911.org/events.html). 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.
.
Participate in the Information War Online
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.
.
Participate in the Information War Offline
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.
