A
Majority of Americans Do Not Believe the
Official 9/11 Story
“Conspiracy Theorists” Now A Majority

TruePublica,
a British website that has avoided the 9/11
issue, has had its fill of ignorant journalists
at the BBC, Huffington Post and other
propagandists for the military/security complex.
The constant, shrill demeaning of experts and
distinguished people who have raised questions
about the official story has convinced
TruePublica that skeptics who need so much
shouting down must have a point.
The
media has NEVER EXAMINED the evidence or
explained the analysis provided by scientists,
architects, engineers, pilots, and the first
responders who experienced the explosions of the
World Trade Center twin towers. The media has
never asked for the release of the multiple
videos that recorded whatever struck the
Pentagon. The media has never investigated
whether cell phones worked in 2001 from the
altitudes at which the official story claims
calls were made.
Instead
two-bit punk presstitutes, such as the BBC’s
Chris Bell and the Huffington Post’s Jess
Brammer and Chris York, label experts with
knowledge and integrity “conspiracy theorists.”
These presstitutes knowingly use a cover-up term
that the CIA put into use via its media assets
to discredit the expert skeptics of the Warren
Commission Report on the assassination of
President Kennedy.
The
fact that the carefully presented evidence is
NEVER ENGAGED EXCEPT WITH NAME-CALLING is a
strong indication that the evidence is true and
cannot be refuted.
TruePublica is such a mainline site that, in its
own words, it does not even “publish news
sourced by RT,” a far more reliable source of
news than the BBC, CNN, or New York Times.
However, it has dawned on TruePublica that
after 18 years an ad hominum attack remains the
only defense of the official story. The
official account has NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER. It
rests entirely on the AVOIDANCE OF EVIDENCE and
on unverified assertions.
The
success of the 9/11 Lawyers’ Committee in
obtaining the consent of the US Attorney for the
Southern District of New York to “comply with
the provisions of 18 U.S.C. 3332,” which
requires the convening of a federal grand jury
to examine the unexamined 9/11 evidence, has
impressed TruePublica as no US attorney would
convene a grand jury on the basis of a
conslpiracy theory. Clearly compelling evidence
has been presented to the US Attorney.
Obviously, Washington expects the Justice (sic)
Department to escape from the bind into which it
has been put by the Lawyer’s Committee, an
escape that the presstitute media will aid and
abet. Nevertheless, the escape will likely
reinforce the public’s view that the government
is afraid of the evidence and is no more likely
to follow it than in the case of President
Kennedy’s assassination, Robert Kennedy’s
assassination, the Israeli attack on the USS
Liberty and a large number of other officially
covered up crimes.
More
and more people will come to realize that ad
hominum name-calling is not an acceptable
response to evidence.
Some Interesting New Information About
9/11
TruePublica.org.uk
https://truepublica.org.uk/global/some-interesting-new-information-about-9-11/
TruePublica Editor: We have published
almost nothing about 9/11 on TruePublica. When
independent news outlets do, they are
immediately branded by the mainstream media and
so-called ‘fact-checkers’ as conspiracy
theorists. The BBC makes this point precisely in
a 2018 article that starts like this – “On
11 September 2001, four passenger planes were
hijacked by radical Islamist terrorists – almost
3,000 people were killed as the aircraft were
flown into the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon
and a Pennsylvania field. Just hours after the
collapse of New York’s Twin Towers, a conspiracy
theory surfaced online which persists more than
16 years later.”
The
entire article is dedicated to all the
‘conspiracy theories’ involved in 9/11 and makes
a mockery of anyone or anything that questions
the official government line. They even heavily
mock the brother of one man killed in 9/11 and
frankly, true or not, the BBC’s report itself is
rather sickening to read.
And
yet, here we are, all these years later and it’s
hardly surprising the theories of a conspiracy
continue.
A 2016
study from Chapman University in California,
found more than half of the American people
believe the government is concealing information
about the 9/11 attacks. This is in part
because, large sections of the official US
government report were redacted for years – and
is still missing to this day.
The big
problem is that the government is withholding
crucial evidence. And then there’s other
evidence the state and mainstream media refuse
to even consider.
Paul Craig Roberts is an American economist and
former United States Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury for Economic Policy under President
Reagan. Roberts was an associate editor and
columnist for The Wall Street Journal and
columnist for Business Week and has received the
Warren Brookes Award for Excellence in
Journalism. In 1993 the Forbes Media Guide
ranked him as one of the top seven journalists
in the United States.
Roberts
wrote this really interesting piece of
information just a few days ago that the
mainstream media has been completely silent
about: “Although the United States is
allegedly a democracy with a rule of law, it has
taken 17 years for public pressure to bring
about the first grand jury investigation of
9/11. Based on the work of Architects &
Engineers for 9/11 Truth led by Richard Gage,
first responder and pilots organizations, books
by David Ray Griffin and others, and eyewitness
testimony, the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11
Inquiry has presented enough hard facts to the
US Attorney for the Southern District of New
York to force his compliance with the provisions
of federal law that require the convening of a
federal grand jury to investigate for the first
time the attacks of September 11,
2001. https://www.lawyerscommitteefor9-11inquiry.org
This
puts the US Justice (sic) Department in an
extraordinary position. There will be tremendous
pressures on the US Attorney’s office to have
the grand jury dismiss the evidence as an
unpatriotic conspiracy theory or otherwise
maneuver to discredit the evidence presented by
the Lawyers’ Committee, or modify the official
account without totally discrediting it.
“What the 9/11 truthers and the Lawyers’
Committee have achieved is the destruction of
the designation of 9/11 skeptics as “conspiracy
theorists.” No US Attorney would convene a grand
jury on the basis of a conspiracy theory.
Clearly, the evidence is compelling that has put
the US Attorney in an unenviable position.”
If
the Lawyers’ Committee and the 9/11 truthers
trust the US Attorney to go entirely by the
facts, little will come of the grand jury. If
the United States had a rule of law, something
as serious as 9/11 could not have gone for 17
years without investigation.”
Three weeks before Roberts’ made this statement
a letter was published by Off-Guardian about a
Huffington Post hit piece about an academic
teaching journalism. Its first paragraph
explains entirely its own position.
“An
academic teaching journalism students at one of
the UK’s top universities has publicly supported
long-discredited conspiracy theories about the
9/11 terror attack, HuffPost UK can reveal.”
This
entire article, like that of the BBC’s,
vigorously attacks any individual or
organisation that has the temerity to question
the ‘official’ narrative on any major incident
as offered up by the state, such as the Skripal
poisonings, Syria’s chemical weapons, Iraq and
Chilcot Report.
HuffPost even uses an unnamed former head of MI6
and an unnamed former Supreme Commander of Nato
to dispel such challenges to this narrative and
then attacks other sources of news such as RT as
nothing more than Russian propaganda
irrespective of the source. As a rule,
TruePublica does not publish news sourced by RT
but that does not make all of its content
propaganda.
David
Ray Griffin, a retired American professor and
political writer who founded the Center for
Process Studies which seeks to promote the
common good by means of the relational approach
found in process thought was the co-author of
the book ‘9/11 Unmasked’ – part of the attack
piece was centred on by the HuffPost hit piece.
The
head of the 9/11 Consensus Panel, the other
co-author, responded to the HuffPost. For
information, the goal of the Consensus Panel is
to “provide a ready source of evidence-based
research to any investigation that may be
undertaken by the public, the media, academia,
or any other investigative body or institution.”
That
letter is as follows:
Jess Brammer, UK Huffington Post
Chris York, UK Huffington Post
Dear
Ms. Brammar and Mr. York:
I was
the head information specialist serving the
Medical Health Officers of British Columbia,
Canada, for 25 years.
Your attack piece on Professor Piers Robinson
and on the scholarly work of Dr. David Ray
Griffin is the least accurate and the lowest
quality published article I have ever seen.
I have
assisted Dr. Griffin with 10 of his
investigative books into the events of 9/11. In
2011 we decided to create the international 9/11
Consensus Panel to review and evaluate the
official claims relating to September 11, 2001.
The Panel we formed has 23 members, including
people from the fields of physics, chemistry,
structural engineering, aeronautical
engineering, piloting, airplane crash
investigation, medicine, journalism, psychology,
and religion.
In
seeking a consensus methodology, I was advised
by the former provincial epidemiologist of
British Columbia to employ a leading model that
is used in medicine to establish the best
diagnostic and treatment evidence to guide the
world’s doctors using medical consensus
statements.
The
Panel methodology has produced, seven years
later, 51 refutations of the official claims,
which were published as 911 Unmasked: An
International Review Panel Investigation in
September, 2018.
https://www.amazon.com/11-Unmasked-International-Review-Investigation/dp/1623719747
Each
Consensus Point, now a chapter in this book, was
given three rounds of review and feedback by the
Panel members. The panelists were blind to one
another throughout the process, providing
strictly uninfluenced individual feedback. Any
Points that did not receive 85% approval by the
third round were set aside.
The
Honorary Members of the Panel include the late
British (and longest-serving) parliamentarian
Michael Meacher, the late evolutionary biologist
Lynn Margulis, and the late Honorary President
of the Italian Supreme Court, Ferdinando
Imposimato.
The Huffington Post drastically lowered its
standards to publish this hit piece, and what
influenced it to do so is a question worth
pursuing.
Yours truly,
Elizabeth Woodworth, Co-author with Dr. David
Ray Griffin of 9/11 Unmasked
TruePublica continues:
It is over 18 years now since the world-changing
event of 9/11. One wonders when the information
held by the American government, that continues
to anger so many people affected by it will ever
emerge.
However, one reason why such questions persist
is precisely that of the actions of the US
government itself. One should not forget those
so-called ‘conspiracy theories’ that actually
came true that continues to pour petrol on the
flames of doubt.
For
example, the American government killed
thousands by poisoning alcohol to prove its
point that alcohol was bad for the general
public during prohibition. This was a
‘conspiracy theory’ that went on for decades –
until it was proven to be true.
https://slate.com/technology/2010/02/the-little-told-story-of-how-the-u-s-government-poisoned-alcohol-during-prohibition.html
Then,
you can take your pick of the lies government
tells when it comes to starting wars – how about
the lie the Saddam Hussain and Iraq had WMD
ready to fire at Western targets. Total deaths
exceeded 1 million. Yet another classic American
lie was the Gulf of Tonkin incident in August
1964, as a pretext for escalating the country’s
involvement in the Vietnam War that killed
60,000 American soldiers. Total deaths racked up
1.35 million, all based on a lie. That incident
only came about because of an
unintentional declassification of an NSA file in
2005.
Edward
Snowden proved with his revelations in 2013 that
the government was spying on everyone when the
government had denied they had ever done so. It
took a whistleblower to let us all know. The UK
government has been found by the highest courts
in the land to have broken numerous privacy and
surveillance laws as a result of mass civilian
surveillance systems.
Operation Mockingbird was a US government
operation where journalists were paid to publish
CIA propaganda, only uncovered by the Watergate
scandal. It took a thief to unknowingly capture
secret documents and recordings for the public
to find out.
The
list goes on and on – just as 9/11 will, so it
will be interesting to see how the US Attorney,
presented with evidence from so many prominent
professionals will bury yet more 9/11 evidence.
Don’t hold your breath though, the same
questions will, no doubt, still be being asked
in another 18 years time.
