Over 1,000 Architects and Engineers Demand a Real Investigation of 9/11

by David R. Kimball
By early 2010, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, founded by Richard Gage, AIA achieved a milestone 1,000 signatures of architects and engineers demanding "a truly independent investigation with subpoena power in order to uncover the full truth surrounding the events of 9/11/01." On February 19, 2010, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth held a press conference in San Francisco - in conjunction with press conferences in 47 additional North American cities - announcing this achievement. There was scant reportage in the U.S. media.
The design of large steel and concrete high-rise structures such as WTC-1, 2, and 7 is the job of architects and engineers. These professionals know that carbon fires resulting from burning jet fuel could not cause structures such as the steel and concrete 110-story Twin Towers to explode into dust in about ten seconds each as they did on September 11, 2001 in New York City; they also know that 47-story WTC-7, which had not been hit by an airplane, could not implode in a mere seven seconds [1] due to "fire" as NIST told the public in August, 2008 [2] . Moreover, in early 2009 Steven Jones, PhD, and a team of independent scientists and researchers proved the presence of the high-tech high-explosive nano-thermite in the dust from "9/11" [3], as described in his Sacramento presentation on April 30, 2009 [4].

By early 2010, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth had achieved a milestone: The gathering of over 1,000 signatures from architects and engineers, demanding "a truly independent investigation with subpoena power in order to uncover the full truth surrounding the events of 9/11/01." [5]

On February 19, 2010, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth held a press conference at the Mariner's Club and Hotel in San Francisco -in conjunction with press conferences in 47 additional North American cities - announcing the 1,000 signatures achievement. [6] The San Francisco conference included presentations by Richard Gage, AIA, founder of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth [7], David Ray Griffin, PhD [8], Steven E. Jones, PhD [9] , and Eric Lawler, founding member of Firefighters for 911 Truth [10].  For video of the conference, see: http://www.ae911truth.org/ info/161 

Regardless of the importance of the information presented in these press conferences, there has been scant reporting in the U.S. media of the 1,000-signature achievement. Why would that be? Could the unending war justified by 9/11 - Bush’s “War On Terror” that Obama has renamed the “Overseas Contingency Operation” [11] - be garnering huge profits and more for the “military industrial complex”? In their 2008 book The Three Trillion Dollar War, Joseph E. Stiglitz and Linda L. Bilmes estimated the true cost of the Iraq conflict alone to be $3 trillion. [12]

AE911Truth has become nothing more than a huge failure, no matter how you look at it. In the 5 or so years since Richard Gage founded it, they have yet to come up with a single shred of evidence that the collapse of the Twin Towers was a controlled demolition. Most of their original "key pieces of evidence", such as thermate found in the dust, molten metal in the pile, and the buildings falling at free-fall speed, have been so thoroughly proven false that even they have publicly backed away from it. They've been around for 5 years and JUST reached 1,000 members. Of course, with there being 1,700,000 employed architects and engineers in the United States, 1,000 out of 1,700,000 is still just 1 in 1,700 experts who supports their group, which is just a truly epic fail (unless you're a 9/11 truther, in which case when 9 out of 10 experts disagrees with your theories, it just means they're complete retards who don't know anything!). Even Richard Gage's wife divorced him because of his involvement in the ludicrous 9/11 conspiracy theories. Attendance at their presentations is laughably low.
The fact of ridicule in the comment above does not use the scientific method, and is typical of trolls for cover-up. When early scientists discovered the fact that the world was not flat, and that the earth revolved around the sun, and not the other way around, the Orthodox Catholic European Church did use ridicule and scorn and worse to rid themselve of the truth, and uphold the lies of their official propaganda. They typically burned the truthers to death in plublic squares as heritics. That was done to make sure the scientists were not listened to.

What we have here is scientists with forensic material proof that the collapse of the three towers in NYC on 911, was not caused by two airpanes hitting them and the keroseene fires that resulted, and a huge governmental cover-up of the forensic proof that controlled demolition did cause the collapse.

Coincidence? George W. Bush's brother Marvin Bush, bought the Three towers one year before the collapse paying seven billion dollars for them, and then promptly fired the buildings 'security staff' , and initiated a covered central steel collumns elevator refurbish, giving the entire building's inner core collumns over to the new hand picked Bush's security staff, thusly to place covers over the entire operation so the workers and peoples inside the buildings could not see the renovations.

After the three buildings collapsed the Marvin Bush collective collected three billion dollars more than they paid for the buildings in insurance. This was reported on the independent media centers, then promply suppressed and never seen the light of day again as far as I can tell. Should not the people involved in this 'coincidence' be called to answer some questions in a new public inquiry??

Is the fact that the cement dust around the entire Manhatten region being loaded with Nano-Thermate and nano thermite which are sophisticated explosive excellerants only made in the U.S. military laboratories, and the exclusive livermore labs of Berkley's Southern California University not sufficent evidence to require a new more truthful explanation of the collapses, as the NIST report paid for by the public in tens of millions of their dollars, refuses time and again, to examine the forensic evidence.

There is more, and it gets worse, what about those government officials that were at first were reporting that an inside job was observed by them as happened were threatened, fired from their jobs , died mysteriously, or went mysteriously missing.

What about the U.S. Rulers who kept saying since the 'sixties' that the the U.S. needed a new Pearl Harbor, to get the American people to go to war for their long planned seizure of the middle east oil in the Holyland of the world. 'Northwoods redux', where they were planning to initiate a war against Cuba in the sixties, by Pentagon false flag operations of flying a plane into buildings and blowing them up and then blaming it on the Cuban Revolution????

What of the fact that two aggressive illegal wars were initiated by NYC Towers incident??? None of the countries in the middle east threatened the U.S.A. Inside job lies initiated those two wars. What of the fact that only thermate and thermite gets to 4700 degrees which is hot enough to explain the mountains of molten steel found at the foot of the three buildings, whereas the kerrosene fires do not burn hot enough to melt steel???

What about the fact that NIST has bought off officials who at first reported explosions were the only way thiese buildings could have collapsed?? The official government explanations given are not scientific but a huge cover-up, and the fact that close to ten thousand citizens have heard the evidence and seen the films proving other than the so-called 'official version' have signed petitions throughout the country and around the world, calling for a truthful explanation of the collapses rather than the unbelievable NIST report??

What about the fact that the Monopoly Mass Media to this day has been covering-up the evidence and resisting the truthers movement throughout the U.S. That is not the way to arrive at the scientific explanation of anything. All the truther organizations have tens of millions of followers at home and abroad, and are sincere in their beliefs. For sure and for closure to the disbelief and doubt raised in the governements official line, we the people are not going to stop until the world's public and the American Public knows the truth of how these Public Buildings were destroyed and so many killed in the line of duty in this terrible catastrophe. Call for a public inquiry now, it is fully a justified need.

The media probably would pay attention if there were 10,000 or 100,000 signatories, but 1,000 "kooks" of any sort is not that big a number in America. How many architects and engineers are there in this country? Now if each of those signatories were able to get 10 more, who could each get 10 more to sign, then there would be a substantial number. So, celebrating your number isn't that interesting. However, one dedicated person such as Gage or Griffin can make all the difference. Nevertheless, the truth won't spread itself. Why don't you engineers and architects find some designers and marketers to make up some good propaganda materials web-sites and movies and put together a way of reaching other people. I personally can't do much to convince people about the towers falling down without a really good science text documentary that shows conclusively why the tower collapses were induced by explosives without such materials. I don't have the science at hand to do it.
