International Center for 9/11 Studies Secures Release of Thousands of Photos and Videos from NISTAugust 31, 2010 911blogger.com, James Gourley's blog The International Center for 9/11 Studies has secured the release of hundreds of hours of video footage and tens of thousands of photographs used by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for its investigation of the collapse of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and Building 7. This material is being released to the Center under the Freedom of Information Act, in response to a lawsuit the Center filed against NIST. The Center filed a FOIA Request with NIST on January 26, 2009, seeking production of "all of the photographs and videos collected, reviewed, cited or in any other way used by NIST during its investigation of the World Trade Center building collapses." Following several unsuccessful attempts to get NIST to even acknowledge receipt of the Request, the Center was forced to file a lawsuit on May 28, 2009. Shortly after the lawsuit was filed, the Request was assigned a reference number, and NIST began periodically releasing batches of responsive records. To date, the Center has received over 300 DVDs and several external hard disk drives that contain responsive records - more than 3 terabytes of data so far - and NIST has indicated that additional records will be released in the future.

Tonight - Bloomington, Indiana - 'The fictional basis for the war on terror''The fictional basis for the war on terror' 9/11 Working Group sponsors Sept. 4 discussion at Buskirk-Chumley by Kevin Ryan August 19, 2010 Published in the Bloomington Alternative Most people recognize that the events of 9/11 were the driving force behind the "War on Terror." Less well recognized is the fact that this borderless war against an ill-defined enemy has expedited economic collapse, driven totalitarian legislation and generated a great deal of animosity against the United States throughout the world. The pain and suffering caused by 9/11 comes with an opportunity, however. Through a better understanding of those tragic events, we can achieve crucial insights that can not only end the wars but might ultimately lead to lasting positive change in human society. On Sept. 4, at 7 p.m. in the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre in Bloomington, the 9/11 Working Group of Bloomington will sponsor a free presentation by two prominent truth and peace activists. Buddhist scholar and peace studies director Graeme MacQueen will discuss "The fictional basis for the war on terror." Behavioral scientist Laurie Manwell will speak on the social and psychological implications of 9/11 and other state crimes against democracy.

Report Calls for “Infiltration” of 9/11 SitesAugust 29, 2010 Source: 9/11 Truth News A new report released by a think tank called Demos warns of the hazardous effects of conspiracy theories on society and recommends strategies for governments to mitigate these effects, including the infiltration of websites. The report, called The Power of Unreason: Conspiracy Theories, Extremism and Counterterrorism, says "most notoriously and influentially, the ‘9/11 truth movement’ has questioned the official accounts of 9/11 and has become a large and growing political force." The authors note that the 9/11 truth movement is "peaceful", but make no distinction between the legitimate questioning of the official account of 9/11 and any number of unrelated, and often racist, conspiracy theories. The Demos report acknowledges that "some conspiracies have turned out to be true. Our institutions and governments have deceived the population to advance hidden and unstated interests", and goes on to cite Operations Northwoods, the Joint Chief of Staff’s unimplemented plan to stage a false flag Cuban terror attack in 1963, as well as the CIA’s involvement in the Chilean coup of 1973.

Review of Film "Hypothesis"Review by Carol Brouillet August 26, 2010 communitycurrency.org Film produced by Brett Smith 2010, 48 minutes The film is a glimpse into the pivotal life of Professor Steven E. Jones by a young filmmaker, Brett Smith, over the course of the years when Professor Jones’s criticism of the official explanation for the destruction of the World Trade Center drew national attention to him and Brigham Young University. Professor Jones had been teaching at Brigham Young University for over twenty years, and he loved his students and his career. He was attending a lecture in 2005 when the subject of 9/11 came up. The lecturer hinted that something was deeply amiss in the official story and half the room agreed with her. Professor Jones fell into the other half of the room's shocked surprise at the idea. Afterwards he did some research on the Internet, discovered Jim Hoffman’s WTC 7 site, and learned for the first time about building 7, not struck by a plane, which came down in the exact manner of a controlled demolition. His research into the destruction of the buildings began. Professor Jones wrote his first paper on the subject, "Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Completely Collapse?", and presented a seminar on the same topic at BYU, both of which drew the local press and created quite a stir.

9/11 Truth for Peace? Sydney's Sept 11 Protest Calls for End of Afghan War!Sydney's Sept 11 Protest Calls for End of Afghan War! August 24, 2010 By John Bursill John Bursill's Blog at visibility911.com/ So why should we believe that "9/11 Truth" can stop the war in Afghanistan and bring the "War on Terrorism" to an end?
On the 11th of September 2001 the world entered a very dark chapter of its history! We were promised a 100 years of war in this "New American Century" fighting "the terrorists" wherever the American Empire deemed they were, and at the time of their choosing. We were told that this "New Pear Harbor" event carried out on 9/11 by the CIA born Al-Qaeda was a fair and reasonable reason to carry out a preemptive strike against their supporters the Taliban, by the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan. The vast majority of the world’s population and its governments rallied behind the US determined to fight Islamic terrorism together world wide. Although some more skeptical commentators and governments were cautious with their support for this so called "War on Terrorism", they found themselves intimidated into silence. For the Bush/Cheney Administration and its powerful media supporters made it abundantly clear "that you are with us or you are with the terrorists" GWB.

9 Years Later -- Why 9/11 Truth Still MattersBy John Albanese August 25, 2010 On September 10, 2001, Donald Rumsfeld announced that an estimated $2.3 Trillion in Pentagon spending was missing -- and unaccounted for -- from the Pentagon. One day later, on 9/11, the story also disappeared, along with any semblances of governmental accountability and journalistic integrity. In the wake of 9/11 America was a traumatized nation where asking difficult questions was often perceived as unpatriotic and equated with disloyalty. Forget the fact that $2.3 Trillion equals the GDP of Italy. Forget that the military only spent an estimated $311 billion in the year 2000 - and that approximately 7.5 times that amount had disappeared. We were at war the very next day on 9/11 -- and that was all that mattered. Forget that Italy had just disappeared from the map. That was the power of 9/11. And in the years that followed it appeared that no lie was too big, no claim too outrageous, no initiative too insane, to trigger an appropriate response from either the media or the public. Accountability was replaced with blind nationalism and comforting platitudes.

Through Pain and Sacrifice, the American Promise Will Be FulfilledAugust 17, 2010 Donna Marsh O'Connor September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows In February of 2002 a group of family members of 9/11 victims formed September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows in order to challenge the ever inflating sentiment and hysteria that led our nation into (eventually) two wars; that led to the death of thousands of U.S. servicemen and women, countless civilian casualties, and an era of perpetual fear-mongering perpetrated by politicians that today places us squarely in the viral debate over a place of worship near Ground Zero. Despite the fact that PT (as we often like to call ourselves) has been around from almost the beginning, it is this acrimonious debate, fueled by the mainstream media's voracious appetite for angry controversy that our voices are sought after. When we asked for an end to the sentiments of retribution and hostility did anyone hear? [Remainder of this letter and Keith Olbermann's interview with O'Connor at Read More]
