NEW Zogby Poll: Over 70 Million American Adults Support New 9/11
investigation
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/5/prweb388743.htm
Utica, NY (PRWEB) May 22, 2006 -- 911Truth.org urges 2006 reform candidates
to recognize a powerful new constituency.
Although the Bush administration continues to exploit September 11 to
justify domestic spying, unprecedented spending and a permanent state of
war, a new Zogby poll reveals that less than half of the American public
trusts the official 9/11 story or believes the attacks were adequately
investigated.
The poll is the first scientific survey of Americans' belief in a 9/11 cover
up or the need to investigate possible US government complicity, and was
commissioned to inform deliberations at the June 2~4 "9/11: Revealing the
Truth, Reclaiming Our Future" conference in Chicago. Poll results indicate
42% believe there has indeed been a cover up (with 10% unsure) and 45% think
"Congress or an International Tribunal should re-investigate the attacks,
including whether any US government officials consciously allowed or helped
facilitate their success" (with 8% unsure).
According to Janice Matthews, executive director of 911truth.org, "To those
of us who have followed the mounting evidence for US government involvement
in 9/11, these results are both heartening and frankly quite amazing, given
the mainstream media's ongoing refusal to cover the most critical questions
of that day. Our August 2004 Zogby poll of New Yorkers showed nearly half
believe certain U.S. officials 'consciously' allowed the attacks to happen
and 66% want a fresh investigation, but these were people closest to the
tragedy and most familiar with facts refuting the official account. This
revelation that so many millions nationwide now also recognize a 9/11 cover
up and the need for a new inquiry should be a wake up call for all 2006
political candidates hoping to turn this country around. We think it also
indicates Americans are awakening to the larger pattern of deceit that led
us into Constitutional twilight and endless war, and that our independent
media may have fina!
lly come of age."
Poll co-author W. David Kubiak concurs, saying "Despite years of relentless
media promotion, whitewash and 9/11 Commission propaganda, the official 9/11
story still can't even muster 50% popular support. Since this myth has been
the administration's primary source of political and war-making power, this
level of distrust has revolutionary implications for everyone working for
peace, justice and civil liberties. If we ever hope to reclaim this country,
end aggression and restore international respect, we all must finally
scrutinize that day when things started to go so terribly wrong. The media
and movement leaders ignore this call at their peril, because tens of
millions are clearly telling us here they are ready for 9/11 truth."
SCOPE: The poll covered five related areas: 1) Iraq - do Americans think the
Bush administration exploited 9/11 to attack Iraq? (44% do, 44% don't); 2)
Cover up - did the government and its 9/11 Commission conceal or refuse to
investigate evidence that contradicts their official story? (only 48% said
no); 3) The collapse of WTC 7, which was not even mentioned by the 9/11
Commission and has seldom been reported in the media -were respondents aware
of this collapse and, if so, did they think it should be investigated (only
52% knew about it, but over 70% of this group believe it should have been
investigated); 4) new investigation of official complicity - do respondents
think we need one? (only 48% said no); and 5) mass media - how do people
rate its performance, including its coverage of alternative 9/11 theories,
unanswered questions and inquiry issues? (43% rate it positively, 55%
negatively).
(Poll sponsors see knowledge of the collapse of World Trade Center Building
7 as a bellwether issue, because if people do not know this elementary fact,
they have probably not been exposed to any independent 9/11 research at all.
Since only 52% of respondents had ever heard of this collapse and 45%
support a reinvestigation, it may be reasonably inferred that a public fully
informed of all the unreported 9/11 facts might support a new investigation
by a margin of 80% or more.)
SPONSOR: 911truth.org is a coalition of researchers, journalists and victim
family members working to expose and answer the hundreds of still unresolved
questions concerning 9/11, especially the nearly 400 questions that the
Family Steering Committee filed with the 9/11 Commission. Initially welcomed
by the commissioners as their "road map", these queries cut to the heart of
9/11 crimes and accountability, specifically raising the central issues of
motive, means and cui bono (who profited?). The Commission ultimately
ignored 80% of these issues, however, opting only to explore system
failures, miscommunications and incompetence. The victim families' most
incisive questions remain unaddressed to this day.

Survey Methodology: Zogby America, 5/12/06 through 5/16/06
This is a telephone survey of adults nationwide conducted by Zogby
International. The target sample is 1,200 interviews with approximately 81
questions asked. Samples are randomly drawn from telephone Cd's of national
listed sample. Zogby International surveys employ sampling strategies in
which selection probabilities are proportional to population size within
area codes and exchanges. As many as six calls are made to reach a sampled
phone number. Cooperation rates are calculated using one of AAPOR's approved
methodologies1 and are comparable to other professional public-opinion
surveys conducted using similar sampling strategies.2 Weighting by region,
party, age, race, religion, and gender is used to adjust for non-response.
The margin of error is ± 2.9 percentage points. Margins of error are higher
in sub-groups.
Zogby International's sampling and weighting procedures also have been
validated through its political polling: more than 95% of the firm's polls
have come within 1% of actual election-day outcomes.

TO THE MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND
OF THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:*
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT,
On Behalf of the People of the United States of America, the Undersigned Scholars for 9/11 Truth Hereby Petitions for, and hereby demands, Release of the Following kinds of documents, video and films, and physical evidence to the public for study by experts and scholars investigating the events of 9/11:
1. Immediate release of the full Pentagon surveillance tapes, of which five frames (only) have been released via the official ASCE report, as Judicial Watch has also requested. We further demand release of the video tape seized by FBI agents minutes after the Pentagon hit, from the fuel service station near the Pentagon, as well as any other videotape which shows the 9/11 strike on the Pentagon.

http://perso.wanadoo.fr/jpdesm/pentagon/pages-en/fct-videos.html
2. Immediate release of 6,899 photographs and 6,977 segments of video footage held by NIST, largely from private photographers, regarding the collapses of WTC buildings on 9/11/2001 (NIST, 2005, p. 81). In particular, all footage relating to the collapse of WTC 7 (including shots before, during and after the collapse) must be released immediately, without waiting for the NIST report on WTC 7, which is long overdue and may be prolonged indefinitely.
3. An explanation from Vice President Richard Cheney regarding the "orders" described by Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta in his testimony before The 9/11 Commission. Secretary Mineta stated that while in an underground bunker at the White House, he watched Vice President Cheney castigate a young officer for asking, as a plane drew closer and closer to the Pentagon, "Do the orders still stand?" The officer should be identified and allowed to testify at a deposition under oath.
See http://www.911truthmovement.org/video/hamilton_win.wmv
4. The documents generated by Vice President Cheney's energy task force have been kept from the public. A court case brought forth a few maps that display oil fields in the Middle East. We hereby put Congress on notice that there is probable cause with regard to criminal activities by the Cheney Energy Task Force involving a criminal conspiracy to launch illegal wars and/or terrorist activities. We therefore demand that Energy Task Force document that comprise, discuss, or refer to plans to invade the Middle East, including Iran, and Venezuela or other sovereign nations be released immediately.
See Cheney v. District Court 542 U.S. 367 (2004) and United States v. Nixon 418
U.S. 683 (1974).
See http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=33642
5. Audio tapes of interviews with air traffic controllers on-duty on 9/11 were intentionally destroyed by crushing the cassette by hand, cutting the tape into little pieces, and then dropping the pieces in different trash cans around the building. We demand an explanation for this destruction of evidence and ask that the possible existence of other copies of such tapes or perhaps of written transcripts of the interviews be pursued. All air traffic controllers on-duty on 9/11 should be allowed to testify during a public forum under oath.

6. The Secret Service, which is highly trained to protect the President from danger and to move him to a secure location in the event of a threat, breached its own standard procedures by allowing President Bush to remain at a public location for 25 minutes after it was known that the nation was under attack. All Secret Service personnel who were at Booker Elementary School with President Bush on 9/11 should be required to testify in public and under oath about these events.

7. On the morning of 9/11, some five "war games" or "terror drills" were being conducted by U.S. defense agencies, including one "live fly" exercise employing aircraft. These drills reportedly included the injection of false radar blips onto the screens of air traffic controllers. In addition, the government was running a simulation of a plane crashing into a building the morning of 9/11. Who was in charge of coordinating these war games and terror drills? Who had the ability to issues orders in relation to their conduct? On which screens were "false radar blips" inserted? When did such false injects commence? When were they purged from the controllers' screens? What was the effect of these activities on standard procedures for interdicting hijacked aircraft?

8. It has been reported that the FBI long ago found three of four "black boxes" from the two airplanes which hit the Twin Towers, yet has consistently denied that they were ever found. Their data would be of the greatest importance to understanding the events of 9/11. This matter must be investigated and the data they provide released to the public.

http://www.counterpunch.org/lindorff12202005.html
For each of the four sites under investigation, the 9/11 Commission reported that two Boeing 757s, and two Boeing 767s (FAA, Part 121, airliners) owned by United Airlines and American Airlines were hijacked by novice pilots and were subsequently crashed, resulting in an unimaginable loss of life. Approximately 3,000 people died the morning of 9/11 as the direct result of these officially reported hijackings and subsequent crashes.
These four scheduled airliners were reported to have carried a total of 266 passengers and crew members, which, under FAA and NTSB regulations, demands a comprehensive investigation of the primary and contributing causes of each. In the case of suspected criminal foul play, the NTSB would normally assign the lead investigative role to the FBI, with assistance of investigators from the NTSB and FAA. A comprehensive investigation of each aircraft crash is not a regulatory option: they would have been mandatory. Therefore, we demand public release of each comprehensive crash investigation report, including access to all physical evidence that was required to have been collected and secured at a suitable facility. Such evidence should have included a large assortment of indestructible parts, including landing gears, surface actuators, engines, black boxes, and so on. The serialized parts would be invaluable in identifying each aircraft and, contrary to some reports, could not have "vaporized" upon impact.
Considering the enormous loss of life and financial collateral damage, if no crash investigations were conducted, who made the decision to disregard the FAA, Part 121, regulatory requirement? In the absence of the Part 121 investigation reports, the identity of the responsible authorities who made the decision not to investigate must be released, and they should be made immediately available for deposition under oath.
9. In the weeks before 9/11, the US Stock market showed rather high levels of activity on companies that would subsequently be affected by the attacks. The afternoon before the attack, alarm bells were sounding over trading patterns in stock options. A jump in United Air Lines some 90 times (not 90 percent) above normal between September 6 and September 10, for example, and 285 times higher than average the Thursday before the attack, have been reported. A jump in American Airlines put options 60 times (not 60 percent) above normal the day before the attacks has also been reported. No similar trading occurred on any other airlines appear to have occurred.
Between September 6-10, 2001, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw suspicious trading on Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, two of the largest WTC tenants. An average of 3,053 put options in Merrill Lynch were bought between Sept. 6-10, compared to an average of 252 in the previous week. Merrill Lynch, another WTC tenant, saw 12,215 put options bought between Sept. 7-10, whereas the previous days had seen averages of 212 contracts a day. According to Dylan Ratigan of Bloomberg News: "This would be the most extraordinary coincidence in the history of mankind, if it was a coincidence. This could very well be insider trading at the worst, most horrific, most evil use you’ve ever seen in your entire life. It’s absolutely unprecedented."
On September 18, 2001, the BBC reported: "American authorities are investigating unusually large numbers of shares in airlines, insurance companies and arms manufacturers that were sold off in the days and weeks before the attacks. They believe that the sales were by people who knew about the impending disaster". According to the London Independent, October 10, 2001: "To the embarrassment of investigators, it has also emerged that the firm used to buy many of the 'put' options—where a trader, in effect, bets on a share price fall—on United Airlines stock was headed until 1998 by 'Buzzy' Krongard, now executive director of the CIA."

The 9/11 Commission, after looking into the pre-9/11 stock trades, never denied their unusual nature. Instead, the Commission declared that al-Qaeda did not conduct the trades, and asked no further questions.

Who, if not al-Qaeda, performed the incriminating trades? This information exists, it can be easily obtained, and it needs to be made public. Moreover, illegal money transfers may have been processed through computers housed at the World Trade Center shortly before planes crashed into the Twin Towers on 9/11. We demand a disclosure of the source of the put options and that this whole sordid affair receive a complete and public investigation.

10. Eyewitness testimony and a substantiating photographic record suggest that a large sample of slag from the World Trade Center is being held at Hangar 17 of the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. Access to the slag sample should be made available to appropriate physicists in order to conduct non-destructive X-ray Fluorescence tests and other forms of examination, which should reveal evidence of the cause of the collapse of the Twin Towers. Based on these tests, we further demand two small samples (about the size of a fist) be extracted from this large piece for further scientific analysis.
See http://911proof.com/resources/Slag+Sample.gif
11. Release of a complete inventory of the plane wreckage and debris from flights 11, 77, 93 or 175 or any other aircraft that crashed or was destroyed on September 11, 2001, including, but not limited to:
(a) the location (whether warehouses or otherwise) of all such items;
(b) a catalog of photographs and videotapes taken of any and all such items; and
(c) a list of all tests and examinations concerning any and all such items, including reports of such tests or examinations.
12. Release of a complete inventory of any steel, other metal or other material from the World Trade Centers, including, but not limited to:
(a) the location (whether warehouses or otherwise) of all such items;
(b) a catalog of photographs and videotapes taken of any and all such items; and
(c) a list of all tests and examinations concerning any and all such items, including reports of such tests or examinations.
On behalf of the People of the United States of America, we demand that the cover-up in this case end and that the kinds of documents, video and films, and physical evidence described above be provided to the public for experts and scholars to evaluate and assess in their efforts to expose falsehoods and reveal truths about events on 9/11.
