9/11 Truth on WBAI Radio
There will be a special program devoted to 9/11 alternative evidence and activism on WBAI, 99.5 FM this Wed., Aug. 31st from 3 - 5 PM. Speakers so far are David Ray Griffin, Col. Robert Bowman, possibly Peter Phillips to address media issues, and either Premilla Dixit or Carol Broulliet. This is a huge win for us. Naturally, we'll announce our activities. Spread the word...

Event Planning ... Folks, we've handed out at least 10,000 flyers so far and there will be more to come. Plus people are coming in from around the country so we could have a sizeable turnout. Please go to: http://www.ny911truth.org/9-11-05.htm to see full details and downloadable flyers. Please spread the word to any lists you're on.

Fund Raising ... We are at $780 on our way to $2,500. For our 9/11 events, we'll have at least $1,200 in expenses for hotels & transportation for speakers, literature, food, signs & banners, sound system, etc. We need everyone who hasn't donated (except those who donate their time week after week) to help with at least $10. If anyone can donate $100 I will give them a book or DVD from our collection.

Strategy Session ... We'll be meeting this Sunday the 4th from 4:30 to 6:30 at St. Marks Church, 2nd Ave. & 10th Street [NYC] to discuss all planning issues for our 9/11 events. We can also work on posters. This is before the regular film event which begins at 6:30. As of now, here are some logistical tasks that we'll need help with:

Transporting signs, banners and literature to the NY Times location by 12:30pm
Set up stage and tables at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza (UN) for 4:00 event
Set up chairs and tables, sound system for St. Marks event in main hall
Set up for refreshments, food prep and staffing
General outreach (blogs, phone calls to radio stations, letters to the editor)

This is your chance to help make a huge impact on the consciousness of not just NYC, but the whole world!

METROPOLIS / SNAPSHOTS FROM THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE
Getting Agnostic About 9/11 - A society of nonbelievers questions the official version
Mark Ehrman / LA Times
August 28, 2005

Anyone who types the words "9/11" and "conspiracy" into an online search engine soon learns that not everybody buys the official narrative of what took place on Sept. 11, 2001. As a professor emeritus at the Claremont School of Theology, 66-year-old David Ray Griffin would seem to have more affinity for leather elbow patches than tin hats, yet after friends and colleagues prodded him into sifting through the evidence, he experienced a conversion. Now he's spreading the bad news. Griffin compiled a summary of material arguing against the accepted story that 19 hijackers sent by Osama bin Laden took the aviation system and the U.S. military by surprise that awful day in his 2004 book "The New Pearl Harbor" (published by Interlink,a Massachusetts-based independent publisher). He recently followed up with the book "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions" (Interlink), a critique of the Kean commission document in which he suggests that a chunk of the blame for the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil lies closer to home than the caves of Afghanistan. We contacted him at his Santa Barbara-area home for a report on his journey from mild-mannered scholar to doubting Thomas.

Q: How did you join the ranks of those questioning the official account of the 9/11 events?

A: I was rather slow getting on board. For the first year and a half I just accepted the conventional view, really the blowback thesis, that this was blowback for our foreign policy. When a colleague suggested to me about a year after 9/11 that he was convinced our own government or forces within our own government had arranged it, I didn't accept that. Then several months later another colleague sent me [a link to] a website that had a timeline. Once I started reading that and saw all those stories drawn from mainstream sources that contradicted the official account, I decided I needed to look into it more carefully, and the more I looked, the worse it got. I considered it an obligation to kind of organize, compile the evidence and put it out there for the public.

Q: The Internet is full of 9/11 conspiracy theories. What have you contributed to the discussion?

A: My main contribution has been the second book, [showing] that the 9/11 commission report is not worthy of belief, and the implication of that is that they were covering up the government's own guilt.
