The mission statement of Colorado Public Television – Channel 12 (CPT12) states that it is “committed to presenting alternative perspectives and to examining information and issues not addressed elsewhere in the mainstream media.” It fulfilled that mission in spades on August 18 when it broadcast our new documentary 911: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out to thousands of central Colorado TV viewers, and the premiere continued to make an impact, becoming the “most watched” and “most shared” video on PBS nationwide in September.

During the film’s television broadcast premiere, AE911Truth founder Richard Gage, AIA, met with CPT12 Development Director Shari Bernson and co-host Tom Colbert live in the studio. Gage, who also co-directed and produced the film, commented on the evidence presented in the film and on our rejection of the official 9/11 Commission Report and of the NIST Report.

“The official story about the attacks of September 11 falls apart when you look squarely at the facts and apply basic scientific principles to interpret them,” said Gage. “After more than ten years, a high-level investigation of the evidence is long overdue. Too much is at stake here to sweep the concerns of 1,700 architects and engineers under the rug. Family members of 9/11 victims speak to the viewers of this film and explain why they are still not satisfied with the answers they’ve been given by our government.”

Part 6: Seismic Spikes

Editor’s note: This is Part 6 (see Part 5) of an extensive report by 9/11 researcher Adam Taylor that exposes the fallacies and flaws in the arguments made by the editors of Popular Mechanics (PM) in the latest edition of Debunking 9/11 Myths. We encourage you to submit your own reviews of the book at Amazon.com and other places where it is sold. 

(Quotes from Popular Mechanics’ book are shown in red and with page numbers.)

The final section of PM’s chapter on the Twin Towers addresses a theory that is not widely believed among members of the 9/11 Truth movement: that large seismic spikes indicative of explosions occurred before the Towers collapsed. As PM explains:

Seismographs pick up readings from large events like earthquakes, but according to seismologists, explosions from a controlled demolition would not register

On www.whatreallyhappened.com, the Web site references a graph showing the readings over a 30-minute span. Measured over such a long time period, the collapses do appear as sudden, momentary spikes. But when shown on a more detailed graph covering a 40-second span, it is clear there was sustained seismic activity for the duration of the collapses. (pg. 62)

PM’s assessment corroborates the findings of the Lamont-Boherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University.[i] However, the point that there was not just one sudden seismic spike at Ground Zero has been noted by other supporters of the 9/11 Truth movement as well.[ii]

Trio of Texas Premieres brings new AE911Truth Documentary to the Public

Following the 32-city world premiere tour of 9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out, AE911Truth took yet another whirlwind trip through Texas from July 14-16, showing the compelling documentary in Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas. Media outlets from across the state and local activists joined Richard Gage, AIA, and other respected architects to screen the film and discuss the push for a new 9/11 investigation. Here is a recap of those influential events.

Richard Gage, AIA, was interviewed live by Jackie Carpenter (center) and Garry Smith (left), who host an excellent Houston cable TV program about 9/11 Truth

Houston: Local Media and Free Thinkers Unite with AE911Truth

We received quite positive media coverage before our Houston presentation. The night before the event, Mark Bebawi from KPFT radio at 90.1 FM interviewed Gage on his radio program, “The Monitor”, during the station’s pledge drive. KPFT is a Pacifica station – listener-sponsored and commercial-free.

The day of the event, Gage and Garry Smith, the assistant event coordinator, were interviewed live on Houston MediaSource, the local public-access television station. Our lead event coordinator, Jackie Carpenter, hosted the show. During the one-hour program, she showed video clips of buildings collapsing “naturally,” pointing out that the collapses were uneven

Editor's Note: The following article was written by former Assistant Treasury Secretary and Wall Street Journal editor Paul Craig Roberts for the Journal of 9/11 Studies. We applaud him for calling attention to the vital work of AE911Truth and the scientists who have brought the explosive 9/11 evidence to light.

In order to understand the improbability of the government’s explanation of 9/11, it is not necessary to know anything about what force or forces brought down the three World Trade Center buildings, what hit the Pentagon or caused the explosion, the flying skills or lack thereof of the alleged hijackers, whether the airliner crashed in Pennsylvania or was shot down, whether cell phone calls made at the altitudes could be received, or any other debated aspect of the controversy. 

You only have to know two things:

One is that according to the official story, a handful of Arabs, mainly Saudi Arabians, operating independently of any government and competent intelligence service, men without James Bond and V for Vendetta capabilities, outwitted not only the CIA, FBI, and National Security Agency, but all 16 US intelligence agencies, along with all security agencies of America’s NATO allies and Israel’s Mossad. Not only did the entire intelligence forces of the Western world fail, but on the morning of the attack the entire apparatus of the National Security State simultaneously failed. Airport security failed four times in one hour. NORAD failed. Air Traffic Control failed. The US Air Force failed. The National Security Council failed. Dick Cheney failed. Absolutely nothing worked. The world’s only superpower was helpless at the humiliating mercy of a few undistinguished Arabs.

An Inspiring Update from the Bike Tour

 Our intrepid AE911Truth Action Group bicyclists, Rena Patty and Pam Senzee, have completed over 2000 miles of their 4000-mile journey across the country. They reached the halfway point of Fargo, North Dakota, on September 8, fighting 40-mph winds for the last 40 miles. Rena and Pam are equipped to camp out in tents but occasionally are offered accommodations under a warm roof. 

They have met hundreds of good folks along the way, most of whom had never seen the World Trade Center forensic evidence. Of the first 500 people Rena talked to, almost everyone accepted the information. Nearly 800 DVDs have thus far been given to individuals, fire districts, police stations, libraries and churches. 

“I can almost hear people saying ‘A gal on a bike gave this to me,’” Rena said. The girls have also been interviewed by local newspapers and radio stations along the way.

Rena remembers the beginning of the trek through Washington State’s Cascade Mountains. “We discovered strength and resilience in the face of challenges… I wonder if this wasn’t also true of the 9/11 Truth movement,” she said. She expressed hope there would be a day when we can all heave a sigh of relief when we successfully “coast downhill” in our victorious pursuit of a proper investigation – and some measure of justice. 

A daring new documentary that uses scientific analysis to challenge the official 9/11 story became the most popular film on PBS during the week of the 9/11 anniversary, which followed its record-breaking broadcast on Colorado Public Television (CPT12).

9/11: Explosive Evidence - Experts Speak Out made its broadcast TV premiere on CPT12 (formerly KBDI) last month as part of a fundraising drive, according to a recent Digital Journal report. The premiere broadcast, which is available to view for free online, became the #1 "most watched" and "most shared" video on PBS online on September 11, and held the top spot for over a week. (The documentary, produced by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, currently ranks as the #4 “most watched” video and the #1 “most shared” video.)

CPT12 has also seen an impressive response at its website, CPT12.org. "The webpage for the broadcast has received more hits than any program page in the history of CPT12.org," said Shari Bernson, Director of Development at CPT12, in an email to the Digital Journal. Web traffic statistics from Alexa.com also show CPT12.org receiving a huge boost in traffic, which began during the August 18 premiere of Experts Speak Out and ran through the 9/11 anniversary. In addition, it marked the first time that a video produced by CPT12 gained recognition as one of the most watched films on PBS nationwide.
