On September 14–15, just days after the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and as the historic ReThink911 campaign sparked questions and controversy around the world, researchers and supporters gathered at the Sheraton Pentagon City in Arlington, VA, for one of the most comprehensive national 9/11 Truth conferences in years: 9/11: Advancing the Truth, organized by DC911Truth.org. ANETA.org (Association for Nine Eleven Truth Awareness), added a bonus event on Friday night, in which several of the most prominent researchers in the 9/11 Truth community tackled a wide range of topics surrounding 9/11.
The conference was also co-sponsored by Connecticut 9/11 Truth and Monterey, CA 9/11 Truth, with endorsements from additional 9/11 Truth groups. The conference room afforded participants an excellent view of the side of the Pentagon that was damaged on 9/11, as well as the officially claimed flight path of Flight 77 and another path, farther north, that some researchers believe was the real flight path of whatever struck—or appeared to strike—the Pentagon.
Architect Richard Gage, AIA, beamed with pride when he accepted the conference's top award on behalf of AE911Truth
Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth played a prominent role in the conference. On Saturday morning, Richard Gage, AIA, founder of AE911Truth, received special recognition on behalf of the group’s work in educating technical professionals, elected representatives, the media, and the public about the explosive evidence at all three World Trade Center skyscrapers on 9/11.
Gage responded with gratitude for those in the 9/11 Truth Movement who preceded the architects and engineers.
“We came shamefully late to aid those who were there from the beginning—those who saw from day one that these buildings did not fall due to the forces that we were told felled them," Gage said. "I am grateful for the work of those researchers, such as David Ray Griffin, Steven Jones, Niels Harrit, Kevin Ryan, Jon Cole, and David Chandler, whose work laid the ground for AE911Truth’s documentaries, brochures, and newspapers. We also deeply appreciate the films 9/11 Mysteries, Loose Change, and 9/11: Press for Truth, which have been enlightening to all of us in and out of the movement. And we owe a deep debt of gratitude for those in the alternative media, such as Colorado Public Television’s Shari Bernstein, [and] KPFA Berkeley’s Bonnie Faulkner, who have broken past the mentality of the herd of media representatives and who have thought independently and reported the ‘inconvenient truth’ of 9/11.”
Gage followed this presentation with an update on the exciting events in New York City during the previous week’s 9/11 anniversary.
Matt Sullivan of DC911Truth also presented a “Trudy” award—named for the group’s mascot, Trudy the Truth Elephant—to Shari Bernson, the executive producer responsible for airing several 9/11 Truth documentaries on CPT12, a PBS affiliate, over the last four years, including 9/11: Press for Truth and 9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out. Gage accepted the award on behalf of Bernson, who was unable to attend.
Gage noted, “Shari has always been a step ahead of others in her industry and she has thus had to take the heat at CPT12 for airing controversial television—but fortunately the truth seems to be paying the bills in Colorado. ‘Experts Speak Out’ is still the most popular web page on the CPT12 site one year later after its debut and became the ‘most watched and most shared’ video the PBS.org national website as well last year. It is followed not too distantly by other controversial airings heralded by Ms. Bernson: 9/11: Blueprint for Truth, 9/11: Press for Truth, America: From Freedom to Fascism, and Loose Change – an American Coup.”
During activities on the previous night, Gage presented the one-hour version of 9/11: Blueprint for Truth, which documents the controlled demolition of World Trade Center Building 7 and the Twin Towers. Filmmaker Art Olivier was also on hand for a screening of his movie Operation Terror, which dramatizes a possible scenario for the 9/11 plot.
The DC conference covered a great deal of ground beyond the range of AE911Truth’s efforts. Here is a summary of the weekend’s other presentations:
Wayne Madsen was one of several speakers who showed solidarity with the ReThink911 CampaignWayne Madsen, a former NSA analyst and Navy intelligence officer and current author of the blog Wayne Madsen Report, discussed three people who he believes were murdered by elements within the U.S. government to destroy 9/11 information that they possessed or were close to uncovering: (1) Deborah Jeane Palfrey, also known as the "DC Madam" (who allegedly hanged herself in 2008) had stated that she possessed sensitive information related to 9/11 and gathered by her escorts from customers who were high-level Washington insiders; (2) Madsen believed former CIA asset Roland Carnaby (a Lebanese American who was shot dead by Houston, Texas, police just a few days before Palfrey died) had information about the theft of U.S. nuclear material by Israeli agents: (3) In the saddest case he covered—author and former CIA pilot Philip Marshall (who allegedly murdered his two teenage children and the family dog before killing himself)—Madsen offered crime-scene evidence that suggests all of them were murdered by intruders and speculated that the reason may have been Marshall's investigations into Pinal Air Park (formerly Marana Army Air Field) in Arizona, which stores out-of-service civilian aircraft—a possible source for planes used on 9/11.
Renowned civil rights leader Dick Gregory became intrigued about the ReThink911 campaign after checking out one of our redesigned Experts Speak Out DVDs Venerable civil rights activist and comedian Dick Gregory offered a dynamic, wide-ranging "meditation," peppered alternately with humor and outrage, that touched on issues of government and media corruption, race relations, and Americans' perceptions and misconceptions of our country. He thanked the attendees for their efforts in a cause that may have enormous repercussions, saying, "What you have can save not just America, but the whole planet. . . . You have it in your hands." Urging his listeners to continue spreading the message of 9/11 Truth, regardless of the mass media's refusal to acknowledge it, Gregory sought to realign the audience's perspective on the resistance standing between them and their goal. "Money is not power," he said. "Education is not power. Information is power."
Journalist Barry Kissin was outspoken in his condemnation of the official 9/11 story and the government's cover-up of other terror attacks Attorney and journalist Barry Kissin discussed the anthrax attacks of September 2001, which he sees as part of the larger 9/11 plot. Wearing a "War is Not the Answer" T-shirt, Kissin made no effort to hide his exasperation at an apparent government cover-up and media professionals who refuse to connect the dots, despite renewed attention given to the topic lately. According to Kissin, because the government has admitted that "the anthrax attacks came out of the military/industrial/intelligence complex" but were made to look like the work of Muslim extremists, those attacks constitute an officially acknowledged "false flag" operation.
Radio host Kevin Barrett provided his perspective on 9/11 from the viewpoint on an American-born Muslim.Kevin Barrett, an internet radio host, American-born convert to Islam, and co-founder of the American Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC), discussed the negative relationship of 9/11 to American democracy. Titling his talk, "9/11 and the Demolition of Democracy," Barrett extended the metaphor to specify that "this is an explosive demolition at free-fall acceleration." He laid out several of the smaller events that have paved the way for 9/11, starting with the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 and including the Kennedy Assassination and the Gulf of Tonkin incident. He concluded by suggesting some ways to rebuild American democracy "from the ground up," which include organizing locally, educating the populace, and establishing state banks. Barrett also gave a presentation entitled "Terror and the Sacred."
Historian and 9/11 Truth author Webster Tarpley discussed the numerous drills that occurred in the weeks leading up to 9/11 that resembled the actual attacks. He also detailed the evidence behind other "false flag" attacks that have occurred throughout history.
AMPAC leader Isa Hodge detailed the US government's attempts to entrap young Muslims in terror plots after 9/11Isa Hodge, an American-born Muslim and the Operations Chief for AMPAC, sought to challenge our culture's demonization of Islam, asking audience members to see the post-9/11 world through the eyes of a Muslim. The centerpiece of Hodge's talk was his passionate reading of an extraordinary statement written by Tarek Mehanna, an American Muslim who Hodge feels was unjustly convicted of aiding Al Qaeda. After reading Mehanna's statement, Hodge asked, "How do we change this situation?" His answer was threefold: (1) Educate yourself; (2) Voice disapproval of injustice toward Muslims; and (3) "Vote every last one of those bums out of office."
Mark Gaffney asked one of the most important questions about 9/11: Who benefited from the attacks? 9/11 researcher Mark Gaffney discussed the findings from his book, titled Black 9/11: Money, Motive and Technology, which exposes major flaws in the official 9/11 story and follows the money trail to determine why the terror attack was carried out.
Bangladeshi-born Rabbi Alam, MD, founder of AMPAC, recalled his experiences in the U.S. Army after 9/11 and his 2012 campaign for Missouri Secretary of State. During his campaign, he said he was labeled a "terrorist." He explained that his purpose in his ongoing political work is to combat these allegations and to help bring peace, harmony, and justice for the Muslim community in America.
The Pentagon Panel
In a highly anticipated panel, three researchers analyzed one of the most divisive questions in the 9/11 Truth movement: What happened at the Pentagon?
Retired NASA engineer Dwain Deets provided his own analysis of the alleged Pentagon attack Retired aerospace research engineer Dwain Deets argued that a Boeing 757 did hit the first-floor impact point at the Pentagon on 9/11, but stressed his belief that it was under remote control and may not have been Flight 77. He pointed to recent insights by such researchers as Aidan Monaghan to establish the viability of remote-control technology being used to fly Boeing aircraft at the time. For instance, pre-2001 impact tests indicate that an aircraft hitting a reinforced wall such as that of the Pentagon's Wedge One would have been almost entirely decimated, leaving much less recognizable debris than in a traditional airliner crash. Only the engines' cores would have penetrated, Deets claimed, and their smaller span matched the actual width of the observed impact hole.
Journalist and 9/11 researcher Matt Sullivan used the work of the Citizens Investigation Team to make the case for a flyover at the Pentagon on 9/11 Matt Sullivan, former editor of the Rock Creek Free Press and a conference co-organizer, presented a hypothesis drawn from the work of Citizens Investigation Team (CIT). Using a clip from the CIT video National Security Alert, he argued that numerous eyewitnesses observed a flight path farther north than described in the official story, and that the plane actually flew over the Pentagon while pre-placed explosives created the apparent impact. Sullivan further speculated that the plane could have immediately landed at Reagan International Airport, as the right-banking flight path would have led directly to one of the airport's runways. (Note: Sullivan is not affiliated with CIT.)
Former Reagan Administration official Barbara Honegger described the evidence that explosives were detonated inside the Pentagon "The Pentagon is the center of the bull's eye," said Barbara Honegger, prominent 9/11 researcher and author of the first book on the "October Surprise" of 1980. According to her, the perpetrators attacked the U.S. military's national headquarters to ensure that the nation's response would be a military "war on terror" rather than a civilian investigation of domestic terrorism, such as the destruction of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma. Claiming that, as with the World Trade Center, inside explosives were the real story at the Pentagon and planes just the cover story, she presented detailed evidence for explosions occurring inside the Pentagon. She also speculated that a drone, flown in and destroyed at the Pentagon's heliport, was the source of both the debris field at the Pentagon and of eyewitness airplane sightings along the observed flight path. (In a separate presentation, Honegger discussed the larger 9/11 plot and drew parallels with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Much of the material in both presentations is contained in her video shown in Seattle, WA, in January 2013.)
9/11: Advancing the Truth was recorded on audio and video. You can find many of the speeches at the youtube channel for 911 TV, and broadcast and download information will be posted on the conference website when it becomes available.

WTC7 exhibited none of the characteristics of destruction by fire:
Slow onset with large visible deformations
Asymmetrical collapse which follows the path of least resistance (laws of conservation of momentum would cause a falling, to the side most damaged by the fires)
Evidence of fire temperatures capable of softening steel
High-rise buildings with much larger, hotter, and longer lasting fires have never collapsed
As seen in this revealing photo, the Twin Towers' destruction exhibited all of the characteristics of destruction by explosives:
