On February 19, 2010, I found my previously angry self in a room full of highly educated, and obviously dedicated, professionals listening to a press conference which announced the 1000 architect and engineer petition signers. What I didn't know at the time was the impact all that positive energy would have on me. Perhaps it was compounded in the strategy session after the conference where, once again, I found myself in a small room full of educated, energetic people. I just couldn't help but be transformed. I was ready and it happened.

In a matter of days after that press conference, I found that an enormous weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It was the weight of desperately wanting to bring what I knew as the truth of 9/11 to my very close friends. Up until then, not one of them wanted to hear what I had to say, mostly because of my poor presentation. I have also alienated someone that I've known for over 40 years because I couldn't pull off a factual overview at the time.

Given the 800,000 practicing physicians in the US (about half the number of architects and engineers) we believe that Medical Professionals for 9/11 Truth has the potential to rapidly expand its numbers.

We encourage all of you to forward the website link (http://mp911truth.org/) to all medical professionals that you know – for doctors, nurses, dentists, and allied health professionals are generally great listeners and have receptive scientific minds.

Co-founder, together with three other co-founding members, Dr. Jonathan Weisbuch has served as the Chief Health Officer for the States of Wyoming and North Dakota, as well as Los Angeles County, CA, and Maricopa County, AZ. He says: "We are appalled by the lack of scientific rigor and the substantial omissions and blatant distortions in the official account of 9/11 as embodied in the 9/11 Commission Report and related government documents."

Ed Asner. Former head of the Screen Actors Guild. Emmy Award winner. Mary Richards' gruff yet lovable boss. World Poker Tour champ. And most recently, star of Best Picture Academy Award nominee "Up." He is also an active supporter of 9/11 Truth and the voice of AE911Truth's radio campaign.

This all begin on 9/11/2008. Asner introduced AE911Truth's Richard Gage, AIA to a packed house in Los Angeles. After the show, Asner volunteered to help in any way he could. Gage mentioned this to the marketing team, and I immediately thought: we'd be nuts not to use Asner's inimitable voice -- and the gravitas that accompanies it -- in a series of radio and video spots.

After writing the scripts and getting Asner's approval, I loaded up my digital 8-track recorder and headed to Asner's home in the San Fernando Valley. I was greeted by his assistant Patty, who showed me into the office. While I waited for Asner's arrival, I looked around at copious awards and memorabilia, testament to a brilliant, decades-long career in TV and film. It was almost surreal, sitting there in Asnerland, admiring his glistening trophies, the art from "Up," the overflowing ashtray. Yep, this was Lou freaking Grant's home.

Editor's Note: The following column by former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura was removed by Huffington Post after it was published March 9 and replaced with a note that states the site "prohibits the promotion and promulgation of conspiracy theories — including those about 9/11."

"Whereas it is widely recognized that the US-led war in Afghanistan is illegal under international law, because it was never authorized by the UN Security Council, most Americans have believed
that it was morally justified as a response to the 9/11 attacks, and many believe it is still justified as a necessary means to prevent another attack originating from that region. My lecture will present evidence showing that both of these beliefs are untrue, so that the 9/11 Truth Movement and more traditional Peace and Anti-War groups should be able to combine forces to oppose this illegal and immoral war."

Listen to the final moments of the daring rescue efforts of the New York City Fire Department operating in the South Tower of the World Trade Center moments before it suddenly exploded into oblivion. This is the biggest conflict of evidence of all: Either there were emergency teams operating in the building or there was a tremendous raging inferno. The two are mutually exclusive possibilities.
