The Science of 9/11

80,000 New Yorkers have signed the petition. As with every other NYC ballot initiative, the City of New York is denying the will of its people to vote on the issues it considers most important.

NYC CAN responded by filing suit, and on September 9 the City conceded NYC CAN did in fact submit enough valid signatures to put the referendum before the voters. Now NYC CAN is battling to prove the petition is legally valid. On September 28, the referee will report on the petition’s legality, and a final determination will be made in the days that follow.

On the eve of the referee’s decision, let us take to the streets in the THOUSANDS on behalf of the families, first responders and survivors of September 11th and the 80,000 New Yorkers who signed the petition. As the climate ripens and public opinion continues to swing in favor of a new investigation, this is our opportunity to send a message like never before. If we stand together, we can make history.

September 27. 2pm. Battery Park.

Please help promote this event. Post the flier on your website. If you have a radio show please contact info@nyccan.org to have an NYC CAN representative on the show. If you can volunteer to hand out fliers starting Saturday, September 19, please email volunteer@nyccan.org and put VOLUNTEER in the subject line. For fliers to print out and distribute on your own, go to nyccan.org.

I will gradually add links to websites which provide good information about 9/11.

A new group is forming which will be called Scientists for 9/11 Truth. Its mission will be similar to that of Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice but it is hoped that a large membership of scientists will add weight to the existing calls for a new investigation. Expect more news on this shortly.

One of the most useful sites for reliable information is the Journal of 9/11 Studies. This journal presents papers and letters. The papers are all subject to peer review before publication. The letters in some cases are controversial, in which case they are presented at the same time as letters which provide counter arguments. Click to view.

An early site which focused only on well established evidence was Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice. It links to many good papers and also provides information about events which have occurred and are planned.

A complaint sometimes aimed at presenters of information about 9/11 is that they cannot be taken seriously if they are not engineers. I of course argue that some of the evidence is best studied by physicists and chemists and other specialists, and some is so simple that anyone can understand it, once they have seen it. There is however a website run by the group Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth which should answer this complaint in a direct manner. Their numbers are growing and now exceed 700.

An immense amount of information has been collected over the years by Jim Hoffman. His site, 9-11 Research, provides both detailed discussion and numerous links to essays and other related sites. It is a great place for the investigator to search for facts, quotes and arguments.

A recent important addition to the list of 9/11 web sites has been created by fire fighters. These people are not only familiar with the results of fires, including both accidental and deliberate fires, but are also familiar with the normal and legally required steps to be taken to investigate fires. They state that the required investigation of debris for signs of arson was not carried out.

Several other sites have been created recently by people with specific expertise and concern for scientific and moral principles. They are listed below:

Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth

Lawyers for 9/11 Truth

Medical Professionals for 9/11 Truth

Political Leaders for 9/141 Truth

Under construction.

For a lot of people it is a shock to discover that there are serious scientists who dispute the official reports about the events of 9/11. It is my hope that, by focusing on scientific evidence, avoiding political attacks and subjective feelings, it will be possible to provide a less emotional approach to this topic, and thus help the newcomer analyze the evidence.

It is clearly a topic of grave important as the events of 9/11 have shaped a large number of government decisions and actions around the world and these actions have had a profound effect on the lives of millions of people. I think we would all agree that it is important to have a clear understanding of the historical events which have determined our present state and which will continue to influence the future. It is reasonable to believe that a better understanding will lead to better decisions and a better world.
