- 9/11 Truth Movement
The 9/11 Truth Movement is the name adopted by organizations and individuals that question the mainstream account of the
September 11 attacks against theUnited States . Movement members communicate primarily through the Internet [cite web| url = http://911blogger.com/|title=Paying Attention to 9/11 Related Alternative News] and regularly convene for local meetings,cite web| url = http://9-11.meetup.com/|title=Concerned Citizens, 9/11 Questions Meetups, events, clubs and groups in your area] [cite web| url =http://wearechange.org/|title=WE ARE CHANGE] cite web| url =http://wearechangela.org/|title=We Are Change LA: News] national and international conferences, [cite web| url = http://www.americanscholarssymposium.org/|title=American Scholars Symposium: 9/11 + The Neo-Con Agenda] and public demonstrations.Characteristics
Viewpoints
Frequently expressed propositions among movement supporters are that the mainstream account of the events of 9/11 is false and that the perceived anomalies in the official account can better be explained by the theory that a "rogue network," [cite web| first=Webster G. |last=Tarpley|date=2005-07-12|authorlink=Webster Tarpley|url=http://www.rense.com/general66/eed.htm|title=The London Bombs, The Rogue Network And Iran|accessdate=2007-10-31] including individuals in the
US government , planned, carried out, and covered up the attack or deliberately allowed the attacks to take place. There is a wide range of alternative theories about how and why the attacks were carried out, including belief that US air defenses (NORAD ) were deliberately rendered ineffective, [cite web| url = http://911research.wtc7.net/planes/defense/wargames.html| title=War Games on 9/11 Research] that the twoWorld Trade Center Towers andWTC 7 were demolished in a controlled fashion, and that the motives for the attacks were to justify overseas wars and to increase domestic control. [cite web| url=http://911review.com/motive/index.html| title=Motives for the 9/11 Attacks]Lt. Col
Robert M. Bowman ,Ph.D . (USAF, ret) expressed the one common belief: "The truth about 9/11 is that we don’t know the truth about 9/11, and we should."

Lecturer's Theories About 9/11|date=2006-07-12|publisher=Fox News|accessdate=2007-10-25]Goals
Proponents of the 9/11 Truth Movement describe their primary goals as evidence gathering, research and promotion of the proposition that government insiders were
complicit in the attacks. Many international, national and local organizations have been created to pursue these goals such as research groups, Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice (STJ911.org).The group and website [http://www.911truth.org 911truth.org] was formed in June 2004 to coordinate the efforts of the various regional 9/11 Truth Alliances. [cite web| url=http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20061014120445472#about| title=911truth.org: About Us] This organization describes a two-step approach to what it refers to as "9/11 Truth": first, to understand the official account and the numerous objections raised against it, and second, to confront the implications of that understanding. [cite web| url=http://www.911truth.org/article.php?story=20050204132153814#2step| title=The "Two-Step" Approach] Several other groups and organizations also exist which involve activism, such as [http://truthaction.org truthaction.org] and [http://www.truthmove.org/ truthmove.org] .
Media
The movement is most often discussed on the
Internet and in thealternative media , includingtalk radio hosts like Alex Jones. Some individuals in the movement come together through regional and national meetings, events and demonstrations, but the internet is the main discussion forum.Movement members have produced such books as
Webster Tarpley 's "9/11 Synthetic Terror: Made in USA" (2005),David Ray Griffin 's "The New Pearl Harbor " (2004),Michael Ruppert 's "Crossing the Rubicon",Paul Thompson 's "The Terror Timeline ," Eric Hufschmid's "Painful Questions" (2002) andNafeez Ahmed 's "The War on Freedom" (2002).Some of the movement's popular videos have been "The Great Deception" (2002) and "The Great Conspiracy" (2004) by
Barrie Zwicker , "9/11 and the American Empire" (2005) byDavid Ray Griffin , "9/11 Mysteries" (2006), "Loose Change" (first released in 2005), "9/11 Press for Truth " (2006), and "Terrorstorm " (2006).Films such as Loose Change and others have consistently ranked highly among the most viewed on Google Video.

The 9/11 Families Movement
In the weeks and months that followed the attacks, questions were raised about the official account:
*Why didn't
NORAD protect theWorld Trade Center andthe Pentagon , two knownterrorist targets?
*Why did theintelligence andsecurity services fail to prevent the attacks from taking place despite numerous apparent warnings?
*Why was PresidentGeorge W. Bush allowed to stay in aFlorida school classroom for over 10 minutes after being told that America was under attack?
*No previous steel-framedskyscrapers had ever totally collapsed due to anything except controlled demolition, so why did it happen three times onSeptember 11 ?The Bush administration was reluctant to carry out an official investigation. Feeling that the mainstream media were failing to demand answers to these questions, [Film: Press for Truth] some family members of victims of the attacks, most notably the
Jersey Girls , along with survivors such asWilliam Rodriguez , agitated through interaction with the media for a full investigation, beginning what became known as the "Families Movement."In June 2002, the group Unanswered Questions held an event at the Washington
National Press Club .

OnNovember 27 ,2002 , the9/11 Commission was set up to prepare "a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks."

Even before the commission formed, a minority of people took the view that the only reasonable explanation for the supposed anomalies in the official account, and the perceived cover-up, was that (a faction of) the government either deliberately allowed the attacks to take place, or were actively involved in the planning and carrying out of the attacks.
On
January 8 ,2002 , a rally and march on SenatorDianne Feinstein 'sSan Francisco office demanded a Congressional investigation of 9/11. A delegation of activists from peace and human rights organizations met with Feinstein's and SenatorBarbara Boxer 's staff and raised key questions about 9/11. [cite web|url=http://www.communitycurrency.org/9-11.html |publisher=Community Currency.

March 25, 2002] Before the 9/11 Commission Report, there were questions about the official account published. Alex Jones claims to have predicted the attacks in July 2001, on his syndicated radio show at infowars.com, even mentioning the World Trade Center as a potential target and thatOsama bin Laden might be used as a "scapegoat".

French authorJean-Charles Brisard and German authorsMathias Bröckers andAndreas von Bülow published books critical of media reporting and advancing the controlled demolition thesis of the destruction of the World Trade Center towers.To reach a wider audience, there were a number of campaigns and demonstrations. In September 2002, the first "Bush Did It!" rallies and marches were held in
San Francisco andOakland, California organized by The All People's Coalition.

To the consternation of the families and the "9/11 skeptics" in general, many of the questions that the Family Steering Committee put to the 9/11 Commission were allegedly not asked in either the hearings or in the Commission Report.

Lorie Van Auken , one of the "Jersey Widows ", estimates that only 30% of their questions were answered in the final 9/11 Commission Report, publishedJuly 22 ,2004 . The story of the Families Movement and their monitoring of the commission is documented in the film "" (2006).The 9/11 Family Steering Committee produced a [http://www.911truth.org/images/resources/Family%20Steering%20Cmte%20review%20of%20Report.pdf 25-page report] summarizing the questions they had raised to the Commission, indicating which they believe had been answered satisfactorily, which they believe had been addressed but not answered satisfactorily, and which they believe had been generally ignored in or omitted from the Report. In addition, the 339-page book "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions" by
David Ray Griffin , claimed that the report had either omitted information or distorted the truth, providing 115 examples. He summarizes his book in the article "The 9/11 Commission Report: A 571-page lie", claiming that "the entire Report is constructed in support of one big lie: that the official story about 9/11 is true."

Immediately after the collapses of the Towers and Building 7, eyewitness testimony referring to explosions, along with features of the collapses caught on film that resembled footage of controlled demolitions, led many people, including some news anchors and engineers, to suspect that explosives had been pre-planted within the buildings. [cite web| url=http://911research.wtc7.net/disinfo/retractions/romero.html#ref1| title=The opinion of demolition expert Van Romero on September 11 2001] Within hours, the explanation that the impact damage and fires had led to a "progressive collapse" was presented in the mainstream media. And in weeks and months that followed, articles in scientific journals explained that the global collapses of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers were inevitable, with most asserting that the impact damage and intense heat of the fires caused the floor trusses and the vertical columns to weaken and fail, and the "pancake" effect of floors crashing down on top of one another brought down the entire structure.

Many of these responses claimed that it ignored key evidence suggesting an explosive demolition, "distorted reality" by using deceptive language and diagrams, and attacked
straw man arguments. The popular truth movement article byJim Hoffman is entitled: "Building a better mirage: NIST's 3-year $20,000,000 Cover Up of the Crime of the Century" (December 2005).

Brigham Young University Physics professor Steven Jones announced a paper criticizing the NIST Report and describing his hypothesis that the WTC towers had been intentionally demolished by explosives. This paper garnered a small amount of mainstream media attention, including an appearance by Jones onMSNBC . This was the first such programming on a major cable news station. Jones has to date failed to get his paper published in any established, peer reviewed mainstream science journal, other than publications produced by fellow truth movement members.

cholars for 9/11 Truth
The original Scholars for 9/11 Truth (whose website was at http://www.st911.org) was a group of people of varying backgrounds and expertise who rejected the mainstream media and government account of the
September 11, 2001 attacks and offered a wide range of alternative hypotheses in its stead.fact|date=September 2008 It was founded by Dr.James H. Fetzer and Dr. Steven Jones onDecember 15 ,2005 .At first, the group invited many ideas and hypotheses to be considered; however, leading members soon came to feel that the inclusion of some theories advocated by Fetzer — such as the use of directed energy weapons or small nuclear bombs to destroy the Twin Towers — were insufficiently supported by evidence and were exposing the group to ridicule.
In December 2006, Jones wrote to all members explaining that he, and several others who shared his opinion, no longer wanted to be associated with Fetzer and intended to help set up a new scholars group with a committee for decision making, which became known as the Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice, whose interest was in the use of the scientific method in analysis. [cite web|url=http://stj911.org/index.html |title=Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice |publisher=Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice] The original group took a vote and members decided on which group to join; out of 226 members, 10 members voted to stay with the original group run by Fetzer, while 168 members voted to move to the new group. [cite web|url=http://stj911.org/faq.html#quest7| title=Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice]
Fetzer remains the head of the original group. During 2007, he has maintained his view that "If we don't consider the full range of possible alternative explanations, we may arrive at false conclusions by eliminating the true hypothesis from serious consideration because it seems farfetched or even absurd."

By September 2008 more then 30000 signatures had been collected out of a goal of 75000. The original mission of collecting 30000 signatures and putting the referendum on the 2008 ballot was scrapped when it was felt that theNew York City Council would "sit on" the petitions while attempt to invalidate some of the petitions. Also it was felt that the issue would get overshadowed by the Presidential Election. The group hopes to make the initiative an issue in the 2009 race forNew York City Mayor and have enough signatures as an insurance against challenges to the petitions.

Critique within the Truth Movement
While there is general agreement within the movement that individuals within the United States government (but not necessarily the government as a whole) are responsible for the attacks, alternative theories differ about what may have happened. There have been a number of articles and responses written by members critiquing the methods and theories of other members, often in a scholarly format, as in the Journal of 9/11 Studies. There are also website articles reviewing some of the papers, books and films produced by other researchers.

Books
One of the best known authors of 9/11 truth movement literature is theologian
David Ray Griffin . His two books, "" (March 2004), which outlined a methodical, deductive framework for researching 9/11, and "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions" (October 2004), became best-sellers. His most recent work "Debunking 9/11 Debunking" (May 2007) looks at the way magazines such as "Popular Mechanics" have sought to debunk the alternative 9/11 theories.In September 2004, the interactive " [http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/project.jsp?project=911_project Complete 9/11 Timeline] " website by Paul Thompson, which is a collection of mainstream media reports presented chronologically, was made into the book "
The Terror Timeline ".Michael Ruppert 's "Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of the American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil" (October 2004) identified potential key insider suspects in the 9/11 attacks and provide an examination of their context:petroleum ,geopolitics , narco-traffic,intelligence andmilitarism .Webster Tarpley 's "Synthetic Terror: Made in USA" (2005) described a link between 9/11 and previous accusations offalse flag state-sponsored terrorism such asGladio or theRed Brigades .Barrie Zwicker 's "Towers of Deception" (October 2006) provides twenty-six "exhibits" of evidence proving "beyond a reasonable doubt" that 9/11 was an inside job. Zwicker also presents case histories ofde facto censorship by mainstream media and examines the psychological phenomenon of denial, false flag operations,psychological warfare , and an "invisible government" that secretly manipulates events.Films
Popular films made by the 9/11 truth movement include:"" (2007) by
Korey Rowe ,"Martial Law 9/11: Rise of the Police State" (2005) by Alex Jones,"911 Mysteries: Demolitions" (2006),"The Great Conspiracy: The 9/11 News Special You Never Saw" (2004) byBarrie Zwicker ,and "9/11: Blueprint for Truth" (2007) by Richard Gage.These documentaries present a range of alternate theories about how the attacks might have been carried out. In some cases, these theories have been rejected by other movement members. [ [http://911research.wtc7.net/essays/green/loose_change.html "Loose Change" An analysis] August 3, 2005] In this case most objections raised against the movie were taken into consideration while creating the "Final Cut" version.
"
9/11 Press for Truth " (2006) documents the struggle by theJersey Widows to open a full investigation of the events, and their frustration while monitoring the 9/11 Commission as part of the Family Steering Committee. The film, partly based on "The Terror Timeline " by Paul Thompson, also looks at warnings received by the US government prior to September 11 and instances during the US invasion of Afghanistan whereOsama Bin Laden andAl Qaeda managed to escape from US forces and flee intoPakistan .Alex Jones has made a number of films about perceived historical instances of
false flag terrorism and points out similarities between them and the 9/11 attack. He also promotes the view that the US government has used 9/11 to increase domestic control via thePatriot Act ,Homeland Security Bill andmilitarization of police forces.Mainstream media coverage
