Theologian Exposes 9/11 Myth

by Carol Brouillet (cbrouillet [at] igc.org)
Respected author, theologian, David Ray Griffin, has authored two excellent books questioning the official 9-11 narrative. As the 9-11 cover-up is questioned nationally on CNN by actor Charlie Sheen, the Bay Area is poised for the first, in person, 9/11 talks by David Ray Griffin. Will the media accept Sheen's challenge and begin to cover some of the serious questions and facts that Griffin and the 9-11 Truth Movement have raised, or will they ignore the events?

Here is the text of a press release sent out to the major and local media, today, as well as a copy of Charlie Sheen's media challenge.

National 9/11 Truth Movement Reaching Critical Mass
9/11 Cover-Up Deconstructed
Theologian, David Ray Griffin, Exposes the Big Lie

(San Francisco) In his upcoming talks (March 30, April 2 & 3), one of the world’s foremost theologians, David Ray Griffin, will deconstruct the official narrative of 9/11, promoted by the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (The 9-11 Commission) Report, that has been used by the Administration to launch wars against Afghanistan, and Iraq. The government has also used the attacks to push through the Patriot Act, the construction of Homeland Security, the reorganization and expansion of the Intelligence Agencies.

CNN’s current online poll asks if people agree that the US government covered up the real events of the 9/11 attacks? Over 50,000 people have responded; currently 84% agree with actor, Charlie Sheen, and David Ray Griffin that there has been a cover-up. Griffin’s books, The New Pearl Harbor- Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11, (2004), and The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions- A Critique of the Kean-Zelikow Report,(2005), and standing-room-only speeches have been covered on C-SPAN, by the National Press Club, and in the Los Angeles Times.

Professor Griffin will speak at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland, at the Commonwealth Club of California in San Francisco, and at the Annual Good Government Luncheon of the Democratic World Federalists.

Griffin’s talk, “9-11 The Myth and the Reality” in brief:

• 9/11 Commission “lied”
• Collapses by fire improbable
• Al-Qaeda, hijacker mythology
• “Stand-down” of air defense?
• Bush/Cheney’s odd behavior
• Destruction & cover up of evidence
• A “new Pearl Harbor” planned?
• Democracy versus Empire


David Ray Griffin is professor emeritus at the Claremont School of Theology and co-director of the Center for Process Studies, and author or editor of over 30 books on theology and philosophy. Since his retirement, Griffin has written two bestsellers on the subject of 9-11. His forthcoming books are American Empire and the Commonwealth of God and Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11.

Charlie Sheen in response to a hit piece by the London Guardian wrote this:

Sheen Challenge to Media

I dare you to print this email in it's entirety ...

The mere fact that you did a cut and paste job of the slanderous and idiotic Marine Hyde London Journal piece, speaks volumes about your credibility as a major media entity.

Like so many other mainstream outlets, domestically and abroad, no attention whatsoever is given to the questions I raise or the evidence that stimulated those very questions.

Instead, low-brow idiotic hit pieces are spewed forth in an effort to sway the readers' opinion of the messenger while blatantly disregarding any of the potentially valuable content of the story. It's transparent sandbox propaganda as dated and cheap as the paper it's printed on.

Do a little research on Building Seven. Building Seven lives at the epicenter of my entire debate. Prove yourself worthy of genuine investigative journalism. Look at the video evidence.

Observe the same data I have. Submit a formal request to the Pentagon or the DOD to release video PROOF that flight 77 did exactly as they claim. You will be stonewalled. You will be dismissed unconditionally. If there is nothing to hide - why are they hiding it?

To avoid any confusion - I reiterate:

Building Seven - Pentagon video documentation.

If any portion, or portions of this text is any way deleted or manipulated, you will only confirm what myself and countless others have suspected all along: Media complicity with no interest in the truth.

A CNN poll at the time of this writing currently sits at 84 percent IN SUPPORT of my views.

Say what you must about me - it means nothing.

Yet, if you continue to overlook the hard questions and physical evidence regarding 9/11 - you only confirm what so many of us "Conspiracy Idiots" have suspected all along - The Official Report is, at best, an insulting work of FICTION.

Respectfully,
Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen questioned the official 9-11 story first on Alex Jones' Radio Show. CNN's Showbiz Tonight did a follow-up show with Sheen, 911truth.org's Michael berger, and Webster Tarpley, author of Synthetic Terror- Made in the USA. Subsequently Charlie did another radio interview on Alex Jones' radio show.
