Re-examining the 3 WTC high-rise “Collapses”

Dear fellow colleagues in truth,

I gave my first 1-hour multimedia presentation on 9/11: Re-examining the 3 WTC high-rise “Collapses” to the employees at the architecture firm which I work for. We had 6 licensed and 9 intern architects in attendance -- most all of whom had been highly suspicious of my previous claims regarding the nature of the collapses. While I knew that I stood on solid ground with the evidence for explosives, molten metal, thermite, etc., the response from the attendees was nevertheless overwhelmingly supportive -- including from my principles who were the most skeptical.

I would have to say that they were blown away - and most have signed the AE911Truth.org petition to the US Congress to open a new 9/11 investigation. The only remaining suspicions from a few were that it had to be someone else beside our government. Fortunately it is easy to show clearly that Al Qaeda did not have access to the buildings, but I can't accomplish everything in one hour! I will therefore be giving a series of talks which will guide the insight deeper as to motive, benefit, and responsibility. I realize that I have to create both a simple 1-hour (really 45 minutes within the lunch hour) and a more detailed 1-1/2-hour program. Its so difficult to march through the necessary info in 45 mins.

Interestingly, one of the most popular pieces of evidence was the clip from 911 Mysteries which documents the 74 (now 300!) centimeter sized bone fragments found up on top of the Deutch Bank building! Think about it! “How did they get up there?...And why were they so small”! I highly recommend this evidence for your use in speaking to others.

I had previously given only one other 9/11 presentation to the St Mary's College class of 26 students on "9/11 Events" via Prof. Dragstedt - which was very well accepted. I am ready to begin reaching the rest of the architects and engineers in the Bay Area. I am also scheduled to speak at a 9/11 Conference at Chico State College in Northern CA on 4/27/07. And Peter Phillips of Project Censored has asked me to give a talk at Sonoma State College this April as well. We will get the DVD's out to the field from these events. It is beginning to snowball.

I have given a quicker slide show to 2 other architect friends of mine separately at lunch who can no longer resist the compelling evidence. I’ve found that If they are willing to sit with me for a minimum of 30 minutes with the graphic evidence then they really have no choice but to see the truth. The truth is inevitable. Yet it is quite interesting to see how the mind fights against the uncomfortable reality -- and unthinkable conclusion of controlled demolition. I know I fought against what I heard on KPFA's Guns & Butter radio program from David Ray Griffin 7 months ago. People may very well respect my opinion as an architect as I "tell" them about evidence, but they never really grasp the truth of it until they sit down with me (or the 9/11 Mysteries DVD) for at least 30 minutes and look at the hard evidence with their own eyes. And I've found that most won't watch the DVD unless I'm very persistent. So my focus is getting professionals to my PowerPoint presentations.

My big push right now is the ae911truth.org (Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth) website which will have the whole narrated slideshow on it. Wish I didn’t have to work for a living! It only gives me about 15-20 hours / week to get an extraordinary amount of work completed.

Thanks for all of your support!

Richard
