They remain convinced: U.S. behind 9/11
By EVAN LEHMANN, Sun Washington Bureau

WASHINGTON
-- The sudden collapse, the seamless downward cascade of the crumbling
World Trade Center towers planted doubt in Bruce Henry's mind.
The way the buildings fell didn't seem right. The implosion-like
plummeting, the absence of central beams and girders refusing to fall,
the speed of the collapse -- all raised suspicion for the retired
mathematics professor from Worcester.
"That was the seed," said Henry, who taught at Worcester State
College. "To me it seems so transparent with a minimal amount of
reflection that there's something catawampus," or cockeyed, with the
terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
Finally, he came to a shocking conclusion that runs counter to
the accepted history of America's darkest day: The towers, he believes,
"were brought down by planted explosives."
He's not alone.
Henry and several other Bay State residents are members of
Scholars for 9/11 Truth, a controversial group that claims elements of
the U.S. government, not Osama bin Laden, masterminded the deadly
attacks that killed almost 3,000 Americans.
Members of the group, including about 80 professors nationwide,
generally believe the attacks were designed around building support for
an aggressive U.S. strategy in the Middle East.
Members point to a string of what they describe as discrepancies
in the accepted history of the attacks, including continuing uncertainty
about why a third World Trade Center tower, known as Building 7,
collapsed without being struck by a plane.
"There is something hugely wrong with the official story," said
Gwendolyn Atwood, 45, of Lincoln, a clinical psychologist trained at
Harvard University and a group member.
The group's theories collide with the findings of the 9/11
Commission and an exhaustive investigation by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology, a government agency, launched to determine the
cause of the buildings' collapse.
Fires resulting from the impact of the fuel-laden airliners
destroyed the twin towers, according to reports by the NIST, which
assigned 200 employees to the two-year investigation.
The agency interviewed more than 1,000 people near the scene of
the attack or who helped design the buildings, analyzed 236 pieces of
metal from the wreckage and studied 150 hours of video and almost 7,000
photographs capturing the collisions and collapses.
The agency's final report rejects "alternative hypotheses
suggesting the WTC towers were brought down by controlled demolition
using explosives planted prior to September 11, 2001."
Many people, however, are not convinced.
A poll released this week by Scripps Howard News Service found
that 36 percent of Americans believe "people in the federal government
either assisted in the 9/11 attacks or took no action to stop the
attacks because they wanted to United States to go to war in the Middle
East."
Guido H. Stempel III, director of Scripps Survey Research Center,
believes the poll highlights discontentment with the Bush
administration, which has struggled to convince Americans that the war
in Iraq is justified, faced criticism for its domestic eavesdropping
program and weathered declining approval ratings.
"The (administration's) effort to tie 9/11 to the Iraq war is
just something a lot of people don't buy," Stempel said. "What I'm
saying is if (government officials) tell you a story that's not correct,
people say 'What else is wrong?' "
Fifty-one percent of Democrats responding to the poll said the
government was involved in 9/11, compared to 18 percent of Republicans,
Stempel said.
Conspiracy theories are popular in American culture. Forty
percent of Americans still believe the government was involved in
President John F. Kennedy's assassination, and 38 percent believe the
government is hiding proof that aliens exist, according to polls taken
last month.
Lacking a smoking gun to make their argument, Scholars for 9/11
Truth members point to a list of reasons they say proves their point
when taken together.
"It's sort of a cumulative effect," said Gustavo Espada, 31, of
Somerville, a member and graduate of Harvard, where he works in
information technology. "I don't think anybody has a 100 percent view of
what actually did happen on 9/11."
Espada spends about 10 hours a week handing out literature, Web
logging and talking with people on the street about his views on 9/11. A
90-minute symposium organized by Scholars for Truth was also broadcast
on C-SPAN last month.
"There's a point of view out there ... we just wanted to shed some light on it," said C-SPAN spokeswoman Jennifer Moire.
The message, however, has not reached Don Goodrich, whose son,
Peter, died aboard Flight 175 when it struck the second tower of the
WTC.
"I don't pass judgment on the groups," said Goodrich of Bennington, Vt., adding that they are "unimportant to me."
Goodrich, too, has searched for evidence that could explain the attacks -- an exercise that has generated little fulfillment.
"The inevitable consequence ... is that much is unknown and forever will be unknown about what happened that day," he said.
Also of historical relevance is the "symposium organized by Scholars for Truth was also broadcast
on C-SPAN last month" refenced. This was promoted at Alex Jones prisonplanet website:
http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/july2006/310706cspan.htm
It linked heavily to 911blogger, though many links are dead:
This is another hammer blow to the establishment kingpins
who had hoped questions about 9/11 would evaporate as we approach the 5th
anniversary of the attack.
The 9/11 Blogger website is coordinating numerous activism
campaigns in alliance with the C-Span coverage, including
encouraging
UN members to view the broadcast,
targeting
left and right radio and TV gatekeepers, and also a
flyer
campaign.
We implore everyone to get onboard with these campaigns
and help spread 9/11 truth to the four corners of the world via the exemplary
platform of the American Scholars Symposium.
But never fear,
where there's a will to document conspiracy con artists, there's a way:

TALK RADIO MASS-MOBILIZATION!
(The following activism appeal was sent in by the owner
of False Flag News.com [site currently being updated] and
enthusiastically endorsed by Webster Tarpley. Tune in to KPFK this afternoon around 12:30pm Pacific time for a live demo.)Nag the Neocons-Grab the Gatekeepers: Radio Mass Mobilization For The 9-11 Roundtable on C-SPAN TUE 6:10PM EDT
What if you could stop the next false-flag terror attack and the descent into World War III?
On Tuesday August 1, C-SPAN will re-air the 9-11 Roundtable discussion at 6:10 pm EDT.
This is an opportunity we cannot squander, because it may be our best
opportunity to expose millions of Americans to the truth about September
11 as a new world war approaches. Anyone who likes to be considered a
real 9-11 truth activist must flood the radio stations over the next two
days with one point in mind: alerting listeners to the 9-11 conference Tuesday at 6:10 PM on C-SPAN.
Call
in to neocons like Sean Hannity & Michael Savage, and make them
squirm while alerting their millions of listeners. Get on the phone and
badger left Air America jockeys like Randi Rhodes and Al Franken who
have avoided 9-11 truth for so long. While mentioning the evidence of
an inside job is important, the key must be constantly re-stating the August 1, Tueday 6:10 C-SPAN information.
One key tip:
Remember your audience.
When calling neocon stations, talk about the evidence pointing to an
inside job, but avoid shrill name-calling of Cheney/Bush and instead try
phrases like "real conservatives should investigate 9-11, and they can do so Tuesday on C-SPAN at 6:10. This is not a left/right issue."
When
calling the lefty shows, you can probably be more open with your
rhetoric, but do not forget to keep mentioning the date, time, and
network. Repetition is key! (Did we mention C-SPAN, Tuesday at 6:10 PM?)
In both cases, try to stress the scholarly nature of the conference and the credibility of the speakers.
These
next two days are not the time for excuses or self-pity. Last night I
called in on Drudge's national show and got the word out to hundreds of
thousands, while he could only meekly compare me to Oliver Stone. I
called WBZ in Boston and forced the neocon host to say "Wow, those are good points." We
must overtake the airwaves in the next two days in order to save the
lives of those who will be killed in the next false-flag terror
operation, and the ensuing global war.
So get off the message boards, and on to your phones! End the defeatism! Reach millions of middle Americans, not just ten of thousands of like-minded activists in the blogosphere. We have a day and a half to get this done. 100 people making 10 calls a day could be the difference between millions waking up to the truth about September 11.
Will
you be amongst those 100 who will save the planet? Or will you just sit
at your computer waiting for the next false-flag and nuclear
Armageddon?
Go pick up the phone! As one person you can alert millions!

Bet the bastards thought this was all lost to the mists of time, eh?
This proves that there was a deliberate strategy to target the mainstream and anyone else they could can, and also proves the top inventors of 911 conspiracy propaganda were involved.
And it proves even C-Span can be fooled by a well funded propaganda campaign into believing the conspiracy astroturf was a grassroots effort.
It won't end well.
