No.
WTC7 was a controlled demolition. That's the only fact anyone can
state regarding
the 9/11 stunt with any scientific certainty. It is physically
impossible for WTC7
to have fallen at that speed due to any other means.

The rest of the assertions have less strength.
In addition, there is the FEMA report of the sulfur in the molten
metal.

You have to be careful when exposing a hoax, and throw in no
hypotheticals.
Notice how I do it, with traceable/verifiable data:
http :// www .actionlyme.org/070426hometemp.htm
http :// www .actionlyme.org/911 HOAX.htm

I never mention the Pentagon or Pennsylvania, since there is no real
data.

It all points to a combined CIA-Mossad operation, which lends one to
think that
Al Quaeda was infiltrated. Bin Laden always takes 100% credit for the
event, but
then, what's he gonna to? Tell the whole world that his own group, Al
Quaeda,
was infiltrated by the CIA-Mossad? Not only does he lose his glory,
he knows he
and his gang are all immediately dead.

"Maybe the smartest thing to do," is put Larry Silverstein on a lie
detector
device and ask him who was the fire chief to whom is said, "Maybe the
smartest
thing to do is to pull it."

And get the CNN transcripts from that day. You will hear Heiney
Kissinger from
Europe announce what was to become our foreign policy: "Whoever is not
with
us is against us." And, "Those states who *harbor* terrorists will be
considered terrorists themselves." Following that, came Gonzales'
statement
(his interpretation of the law for the president) that Afghanistan was
not a stable
country, and that therefore its residents were not protected by Geneva
Conventions.


The biggest question of all is who the CIA is working for at that
higher level?
The CIA has a heirarchy. And perhaps some of the 9/11 players are ex-
CIA members
who are now under the employ of someone else.

You can't throw out the entire 9/11 Truth Show. You can only try to
train people
in how to think scientifically. And if training the American people
in how to think
scientifically - or, correctly - fails, Europe, Asia, and South
America will listen.

I guarantee it.

The Truth About the 9/11 'Truth Movement'
by David Rovics

I found myself once again singing at an anti-war rally two weeks ago,
and once again
being confronted by a red-faced white man with an ominous hand-written
sign reading,
"9/11 was a lie."

Most of the crowd was filing off for the post-rally march, aside from
a few of my
loyal fans who were sticking around for the rest of my set. Among them
was the red-faced
man, apparently not a fan, who walked towards the small stage with the
wild-eyed
certainty of a zealot.

"Wake up, David Rovics! David Rovics, wake up to the truth of 9/11!"
He was screaming
at the top of his lungs, standing about two feet from me. (I continued
with the
song.) In case I didn't get the message the first time, the red-faced
man repeated
his mantra. "Wake up! Wake up to the truth of 9/11!"

People like him, whoever he was, have become a fixture of antiwar and
other protests
since sometime soon after September 11, 2001. They regularly call in
to radio talk
shows, maintain many websites, produce innumerable documentaries,
publish plenty
of books, hold regular conferences, and show up with alarming
predictability to
heckle and denounce prominent progressive authors and activists at
their speaking
engagements.

If you bother slogging through the volumes of books and stacks of
documentaries
that "9/11 Truth" people will foist on you if you let them, you will
find that most
of them are propaganda pieces and most of the "experts" are not
experts in relevant
fields.

When you do look beyond this mass of misinformation for real experts,
you will easily
find pilots who can discount the claims of the Truthers that
maneuvering the planes
into the towers was a particularly challenging thing for people with
only a little
flight training to pull off. You will easily find mechanical engineers
familiar
with the structural flaws in the design of the WTC that allowed it to
collapse in
the first place, and physicists who can explain why such large
buildings would appear
to be imploding as if in a controlled demolition, or why people on the
scene would
have thought they were hearing explosions, etc.

My purpose here is not to disprove all the hypotheses presented by the
Truthers
and their propaganda pieces - if you want to look into "debunking the
debunkers"
yourself, there is plenty of information out there, and Popular
Mechanics' issue
on the subject is a good place to start.

The fact is, the scientific community, while certainly not immune to
political pressure,
is generally able to function with a grounding in actual science, and
is not capable
of participating, as a community, in some kind of mass conspiracy of
silence or
cover-up. There is no way to bribe that many scientists. Too many of
them believe
in the importance of science for science's sake, in honesty.

This can be amply demonstrated by the fact that with all the political
pressure
and money of the U.S. government and ExxonMobil combined, there is
still essentially
unanimity among climate scientists worldwide that climate change is
real, is caused
by humans, and is dangerous for our species and others. Even after all
the billions
upon billions of dollars spent by the tobacco industry to obfuscate
reality and
bribe policymakers, the scientific community was able to study the
issue and determine
incontrovertibly the link between smoking cigarettes and lung cancer.

Misguided attacks on alternative media

The "9/11 Truth Movement" undoubtedly is made up largely of earnest,
decent people.
Since thousands of their fellow countrymen and women died on 9/11 and
since this
event, many people in many communities have become justifiably
agitated and outraged
by world-scale injustices, such as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan
and so on.

The particularly warped thing about this, though, is that the very
media outlets,
authors and activists who are doing their best to expose the very real
conspiracies
that are going on - people like Amy Goodman and Democracy Now!, David
Barsamian's
Alternative Radio, Z Magazine, Norman Solomon and the Institute for
Public Accuracy,
Noam Chomsky, etc. - seem to have become the primary targets of
harassment by the
Truthers.

Goodman, Chomsky, Solomon and others are now regularly heckled at
speaking events,
and denounced on websites as "gatekeepers." They are seen, it seems,
as being even
worse than the corporate media, because while reasonable people know
not to trust
Fox or CNN, they have faith in the integrity of people like Amy
Goodman.

You don't have to know Amy Goodman or her producers personally to see
what nonsense
this "gatekeeper" stuff is. You needn't ever have met Amy to know that
she has risked
her life, and very nearly lost her life, in her decades-long efforts
to report the
truth. You needn't know her producers personally to recognize that
these are all
earnest young progressives working long hours to create a daily news
program they
deeply believe in. The notion that all of her producers are somehow
maintaining
a code of silence in exchange for the privilege of having their names
mentioned
at the end of the broadcast, or in exchange for their nominally middle-
class salaries,
is preposterous.

As is so often the case, there are little grains of truth in here that
can fester
in the minds of people who are not looking at the information
critically. For the
cops among the Truthers (of course it's a matter of the public record
that the FBI
and other such agencies regularly write "newspaper articles" -
propaganda or disinformation
of whatever sort they deem useful), undermining the legitimacy of the
progressive
media is exactly their goal, because they don't want the population to
know the
truth or to trust those who are reporting it.

For the more earnest elements among the Truthers, undermining the
progressive media
is also their goal, because they don't see it as being distinct from
the corporate
media anyway - so whether earnest or insidious, the effect is the
same.

It seems evident to me that shows like Democracy Now! are quite
willing - and indeed,
are doing their best - to make waves as much as possible. If they
don't report a
story it's because they don't think it's a story, or it's not an
important enough
one to bother with. In the case of "theories" like the notion that
controlled demolition
brought down the World Trade Center or there were no members of Al-
Qaeda on board
the airplanes, this narrative has received little coverage in the
progressive media
because, upon investigation, most decide it's patently ridiculous.

The real gatekeepers

Sometime in 2002 I wrote a song called "Reichstag Fire," in which I
asked many of
the questions the Truthers were asking. The point of the song was
primarily to say
that 9/11 has been used as an excuse for the U.S. to carry out a
genocidal crusade
on much of the Muslim world, and to further the U.S. government's
bipartisan agenda
of world domination and control of valuable resources in other
countries, such as
oil. (This is something Truthers and most other people in the world
can generally
agree on.) In the song I also posed questions which I now feel have
been adequately
explained.

Were there really Arab terrorists on board the planes? Yes. Did the
CIA know an
attack was imminent? Yes. I don't regret writing the song, or becoming
a very minor
celebrity within the 9/11 Truth Movement, because I think these
questions needed
to be asked, and answered.

But while some questions can only remain unanswered until certain
people within
the U.S. government become whistleblowers, other questions have been
answered, and
my answers (and those of most people who have looked into these
things) and those
of what now constitutes the Truth Movement differ wildly. Particularly
because I
have been seen by some as part of this movement, I felt compelled to
write this
essay.

The truth is, in fact, out there. Much of it is certainly still there
to be discovered,
but many fundamental, essential truths are already known.

The truth - that, for example, the CIA funded and armed Al-Qaeda and
the Taleban,
that a tiny minority of very wealthy people control much of the U.S.
government
and the "mainstream" (corporate/"public") media, that the U.S.
military systematically
goes around the world overthrowing democracies, propping up
dictatorships, and killing
millions of people with bombs - is what the progressive media is
reporting on hourly,
daily, weekly or monthly. These are the truths that people in the U.S.
most need
to "wake up" to. These are the truths that are systematically
unreported or severely
under-reported by the corporate press, which, even in the age of the
Internet, is
still where the vast majority of people in the U.S. get their news,
and thus, their
understanding of the world.

These corporate media entities and the genocidal, ecocidal plutocracy
they serve
are the "gatekeepers" that need to be exposed. The truths they are
trying to hide
from us are the truths that need to be understood, and acted upon. The
progressive
media that is trying to do just that needs to be supported, not
undermined with
essentially baseless accusations (legitimate criticisms and
suggestions notwithstanding).

The people who are trying, with some degree of success, to undermine
these basic
endeavors of the progressive movement and the progressive media need
to be exposed
for what they are - whether they fall into the category of well-
meaning but misguided
fanatics or undercover government agents quite purposefully and
systematically working
to spread disinformation and sow confusion and distrust. And, beyond
any reasonable
doubt, the "Truth Movement" contains both of these elements.

To both of these groups I beseech you - wake up! Wake up to the real,
easily verifiable
conspiracies - which are extremely big ones - and quit trying to
distract us with
all the nonsense about gatekeepers and controlled demolitions!
