Many people who think they have been keeping up with the revelations of the last several years about the destruction of the three high-rises in New York City on Sept. 11, 2001, will nonetheless be surprised to discover that the falling upper section of WTC 1 exhibited no measurable deceleration when it impacted the lower section. This is a startling revelation because it adds to the collection of “smoking guns” proving that the “collapse” of that building was not caused by the jetliner impact and ensuing fires.

Although theoretically possible, collapses of heavily constructed buildings like the Twin Towers and WTC 7 had never occurred prior to Sept. 11, 2001, without some form of “assistance.” The reason for this is that they are built with significant reserve strength. The construction of each floor is designed to support several times the actual load above it.

Over the last century, the most astounding historical discoveries of man-made artifacts have often been accomplished by well-funded, highly experienced researchers. From the excavation of King Tut’s tomb to the sighting of the sunken Titanic, stunning finds have required immense financial and human resources, as well as leadership by distinguished explorers. So, how did a mountain of never-before-seen footage used in NIST’s World Trade Center investigations get exposed to the light of day last month? Was it the work of a billionaire adventurer? Not quite. You can thank an upstart non-profit, the International Center for 9/11 Studies, whose efforts have at last borne fruit.

The International Center for 9/11 Studies was founded in 2008 by Director James Gourley, a Texas lawyer who began questioning the events of 9/11 after watching a presentation given by David Ray Griffin on C-SPAN.

Is AE911Truth for You?

Do you know the official story of the 9/11 terror attacks to be false?

Are you aware of the overwhelming implications of this?

Have you ever experienced difficulties convincing people to take a second look at 9/11?

If you answered YES, read on.

AE911Truth Overcomes Normal Skepticism in 10 Minutes!

Your easiest way to convince a skeptic of the legitimacy of questioning 9/11 would arguably be to draw her/his attention to a single event in the official narrative that:

• Could easily be exposed as false
• Would be 9/11’s defining moment and
• Fully lent itself to a straightforward counter-explanation buttressed by hundreds of professionals and a team of experts who would be available to personally clarify the above.

Leave a copy of the 9/11 Investigator for someone at your coffee shop!

A recent post on our Facebook page presented the idea to “Adopt a Coffee Shop!” The concept is simple. All of our supporters are encouraged to visit local coffee shops in their area regularly and leave behind copies our new AE911Truth broadsheet newspaper, the 9/11 Investigator. The Facebook post, which generated more than 90 “likes” and 9 “comments”, outlined the following three easy steps:

1) Visit our online store and buy some copies of the Investigator. While you’re there, consider getting some “street ready” flyers as well.

2) Take your materials to the coffee shops in your area, leave a few Investigators, and put a flyer on the bulletin board.

3) Get some coffee.

These clips provide some raw footage sneak previews of some of the world-class experts appearing in AE911Truth's upcoming documentary "9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out."

Chemical Engineer Mark Basile. The first scientist who ignited a red/gray chip from the World Trade Center dust and found an iron-rich microsphere in the residue discusses his process of discovery using the scientific method.

Physicist Steven Jones. One of the scientists who found nanothermite in the World Trade Center dust discusses the scientific method and its application to this research. Nanothermite and the chain of custody of the dust are discussed at length.

Do Information Science and Media Professionals Have a Duty to Provide Evidence-Based Information to a Questioning Public?

This essay was originally published by the international journal, Information for Social Change. It has been republished here with permission from the author. While it is recognized that through the use of meta-analysis and randomized controlled trials the standard of excellence in evidenced-based medicine (EBM) stands alone on a pinnacle, there is nonetheless an evidence-based methodology that can be applied across the board in other decision-making areas.  Though research into the events of 9/11 has not yet attained the rigor achieved by EBM, it is still possible to rank the research in this field according to evidence-based principles. This article explains the principles, points to sources that exemplify them, and argues the ethical obligation of librarians and journalists to advance those sources.
