"Untersuche" is "Investigate" in GermanWibren Visser is a key member of the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth Translation Team. Born in Holland, and now living in Linz, Austria, he studied philosophy for two years, graduated from a hotel management school, and has a degree for Dutch translators from the University of Vienna. He currently works as a sales controller specializing in reporting and data mining, but has been doing translations – German to Dutch and vice versa – as a sideline for over 25 years.

In 2008, Wibren was searching the internet on the subject of weapons inspections in Iraq and stumbled onto some information related to 9/11. He says it was "a total surprise to me, as I was not aware of any doubts about the official theory. That intrigued me and I started looking for more information." Coincidentally, Richard Gage, AIA, was touring Europe at that time and likely passed close by Wibren's hometown.

Soon after, Wibren noticed materials from AE911Truth. He felt that our group was the most credible organization within the 9/11 truth movement and signed our petition.

WTC Tower construction showing core columnIntroduction

To believe the official conspiracy theory regarding the destruction of the three World Trade Center high-rise buildings requires an Olympian leap of faith. It asks us to accept impossible coincidences, to assume the laws of physics don't always apply, and to ignore common sense. Being one of 9/11's least likely hypotheses, it requires that we emotionally moor ourselves to its tenets, because an intellectual examination or inquiry would quickly reveal dots that don't connect. Fortunately, a much more cogent theory exists. It suggests that controlled demolition, not fire, was the cause of the collapse of WTC Buildings 1,2, and 7.

But this theory, although supported by overwhelming scientific forensic evidence, eyewitness testimony, and visual documentation, is nevertheless rejected by official conspiracy theorists. On the grounds that it presumes impossibly high logistical hurdles for the perpetrators, the official conspiracy theorists argue that a plan of such magnitude would have been impossible to carry out. How was security breached? How were necessary cables and other equipment moved into the buildings unseen, and how did a demolition team gain access to structural members? To investigators and degreed professionals who have studied the evidence, these questions are elementary. What follows is a simple, yet compelling, visual and scientific narrative, which explains how the controlled destruction of World Trade Center Towers 1,2, and 7 was accomplished.

AE911Truth activist, Canadian Elizabeth Woodworth, brings us up-to-date on the stunning successes achieved by ReThink911 in bringing about a more accurate and fact-based discussion of the event.

Prominent in this success has been the campaign by ReThink 911 across the U.S. and Canada to raise public awareness. 

Editor's Note: Frances Shure, M.A., L.P.C., has performed an in-depth analysis addressing a key issue of our time: “Why Do Good People Become Silent—or Worse—About 9/11?” The resulting essay, to be presented here as a series, is comprised of a synthesis of reports on academic research as well as clinical observations.

In answering the question in the title of this essay, last month’s segment, Part 4, addressed the term “doublethink,” coined by George Orwell. Doublethink is not part of Western psychology’s lexicon, but it is a defensive strategy, nonetheless, by which we hold two conflicting beliefs in our minds at the same time, and use one or the other, depending on the situation–rather like a chameleon switches colors–in order to remain in conformity with the official position.. 

We continue Ms. Shure’s analysis in Part 5 with the defensive mechanisms of denial and cognitive dissonance.   

“I admit that I seriously resist anyone messing with my worldview,” said a friend as she hurried out of the room we both occupied.

Andy Steele of 9/11 Free Fall RadioAndy Steele’s work as a community organizer may not have taken the same path as President Obama’s, but it has provided him with some interesting experiences. After spending a summer as a guest English teacher at a Chinese university, Andy returned to the US and received a degree in Creative Writing. One week after his return, 9/11 happened. A friend in China forwarded him an email suggesting that people in our own government were involved and, at the time, he dismissed the idea.

While teaching English in Uzbekistan as a Peace Corps volunteer in 2004-05, Andy organized his 1st-5th grade students to pick up trash in their neighborhood. This upset government officials because it made those in charge of picking up the trash look bad. This seemingly minor incident, plus the uprising that occurred in Uzbekistan while he was there, changed his world view (Massacre in Uzbekistan is a film that documents the killing of almost 1,000 people on the orders of dictator Islam Karimov, a friend of U.S. leaders at the time).

The “High-Rise Safety Initiative” Targets a New Investigation in 2015

Next fall will mark the 13^th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and it could be an important one for New Yorkers and supporters of 9/11 Truth. A campaign called the “High-Rise Safety Initiative” aims to place a measure on the ballot that would require the city’s Department of Buildings to launch a new investigation into the destruction of Building 7.

If the initiative is successful, the first officially sanctioned investigation to deliver a truthful account of what really happened on 9/11 could soon become imminent. But the investigation will only go forward if the campaign’s sponsors can bring in enough donations to fund the petition drive and gather 110,000 signatures. The NYC Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN) must raise $250,000 by June 1^st.  As of March 28, they had raised $125,000.
