This is an important article. Dr. Griffin is a highly credible source who

has done his homework. Clearly 911 was an inside job. Send this to others,

Case For WTC Tower Demolition Sealed By Griffin Theologian Says Controlled

Demolition is Now a Fact, Not a Theory From Kevin Barrett Coordinator

MUJCA-NETMuslim-Christian-Jewish Alliance For 91110-21-2005

 

In two speeches to overflow crowds in New York last weekend, notable

theologian David Ray Griffin argued that recently revealed evidence seals the

case

that the Twin Towers and WTC-7 were destroyed by controlled demolition with

explosives. Despite the many enduring mysteries of the 9/11 attacks, Dr.

Griffin concluded, " It is already possible to know, beyond a reasonable doubt,

one

very important thing: the destruction of the World Trade Center was an inside

job, orchestrated by terrorists within our own government. "

 

 

On Oct. 15th and 16th, New Yorkers filled two venues to hear the prominent

theologian and author of two books on 9/11 give a presentation entitled " The

Destruction of the Trade Towers: A Christian Theologian Speaks Out. " Dr.

Griffin has continued to blaze a trail of courage, leading where most media and

elected officials have feared to tread. His presentation went straight to the

core of one of the most powerful indictments of the official story, the

collapse of the towers and WTC 7.

 

 

Dr. Griffin included excerpts from the firemen's tapes which were recently

released as a result of a prolonged court battle led by victim's families

represented by attorney Norman Siegel and reported in the NY Times. He also

included statements by many witnesses. These sources gave ample testimony

giving

evidence of explosions going off in the buildings. A 12 minute film was shown

for the audiences, who saw for themselves the undeniable evidence for

controlled demolition.

 

 

Dr. Griffin listed ten characteristics of the collapses which all indicate

that the buildings did not fall due to being struck by planes or the ensuing

fires. He explained the buildings fell suddenly without any indication of

collapse. They fell straight into their own footprint at free-fall speed,

meeting

virtually no resistance as they fell--a physical impossibility unless all

vertical support was being progressively removed by explosives severing the

core columns.

 

 

The towers were built to withstand the impact of a Boeing 707 and 160 mile

per hour winds, and nothing about the plane crashes or ensuing fires gave any

indication of causing the kind of damage that would be necessary to trigger

even a partial or progressive collapse, much less the shredding of the

buildings into dust and fragments that could drop at free-fall speed.

 

 

The massive core columns--the most significant structural feature of the

buildings, whose very existence is denied in the official 9/11 Commission

Report--were severed into uniform 30 foot sections, just right for the 30-foot

trucks used to remove them quickly before a real investigation could transpire.

 

 

There was a volcanic-like dust cloud from the concrete being pulverized, and

no physical mechanism other than explosives can begin to explain how so much

of the buildings' concrete was rendered into extremely fine dust. The debris

was ejected horizontally several hundred feet in huge fan shaped plumes

stretching in all directions, with telltale " squibs " following the path of the

explosives downward.

 

 

These are all facts that have been avoided by mainstream and even most of

the alternative media. Again, these are characteristics of the kind of

controlled demolitions that news people and firefighters were describing on the

morning of 9/11. Those multiple first-person descriptions of controlled

demolition

were hidden away for almost four years by the City of New York until a

lawsuit finally forced the city to release them. Dr. Griffin's study of these

accounts has led him beyond his earlier questioning of the official story of

the

collapses, to his above-quoted conclusion: The destruction of the three WTC

buildings with explosives by US government terrorists is no longer a

hypothesis, but a fact that has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

 

 

It ís important to note that Dr. Griffin is one of many prominent

intellectuals--including the likes of Gore Vidal, Howard Zinn, Peter Dale

Scott,

Richard Falk, Paul Craig Roberts, Morgan Reynolds and Peter Phillips--who have

seen

through the major discrepancies of the official explanation of 9/11 and have

risen to challenge it. These brave individuals represent the tip of an

ever-growing iceberg of discreet 9/11 skeptics. Indeed, 9/11 skepticism appears

to

be almost universal among intellectuals who have examined the evidence,

since there has not yet been a single serious attempt to refute the case

developed by Dr. Griffin and such like-minded thinkers as Nafeez Ahmed and Mike

Ruppert. As for the general public, polls have shown that a strong majority of

Canadians (63%, Toronto Star, May '04) and half of New Yorkers (Zogby, August

2004) agree that top US leaders conspired to murder nearly 3,000 Americans on

9/11/01.

 

 

How, then, can the mainstream US media continue to ignore the story of the

century? Perhaps the best answer was given by Dr. Griffin himself in the

conclusion of his talk, and is worth quoting at length:

 

 

" The evidence for this conclusion (that 9/11 was an inside job) has thus far

been largely ignored by the mainstream press, perhaps under the guise of

obeying President Bush's advice not to tolerate " outrageous conspiracy

theories. " We have seen, however, that it is the Bush administration's

conspiracy

theory that is the outrageous one, because it is violently contradicted by

numerous facts, including some basic laws of physics.

 

 

" There is, of course, another reason why the mainstream press has not

pointed out these contradictions. As a recent letter to the Los Angeles Times

said:

 

 

" 'The number of contradictions in the official version of . . . 9/11 is so

overwhelming that . . . it simply cannot be believed. Yet . . . the official

version cannot be abandoned because the implication of rejecting it is far too

disturbing: that we are subject to a government conspiracy of " X-Files "

proportions and insidiousness.'

 

 

" The implications are indeed disturbing. Many people who know or at least

suspect the truth about 9/11 probably believe that revealing it would be so

disturbing to the American psyche, the American form of government, and global

stability that it is better to pretend to believe the official version. I

would suggest, however, that any merit this argument may have had earlier has

been overcome by more recent events and realizations. Far more devastating to

the American psyche, the American form of government, and the world as a whole

will be the continued rule of those who brought us 9/11, because the values

reflected in that horrendous event have been reflected in the Bush

administrationís lies to justify the attack on Iraq, its disregard for

environmental

science and the Bill of Rights, its criminal negligence both before and after

Katrina, and now its apparent plan not only to weaponize space but also to

authorize the use of nuclear weapons in a preemptive strike.

 

 

" In light of this situation and the facts discussed in this lecture---as

well as dozens of more problems in the official account of 9/11 discussed

elsewhere---I call on the New York Times to take the lead in finally exposing

to

the American people and the world the truth about 9/11. Taking the lead on such

a story will, of course, involve enormous risks. But if there is any news

organization with the power, the prestige, and the credibility to break this

story, it is the Times. It performed yeoman service in getting the 9/11 oral

histories released. But now the welfare of our republic and perhaps even the

survival of our civilization depend on getting the truth about 9/11 exposed. I

am calling on the Times to rise to the occasion.

 

Dr. Griffin's speech given at the University of Wisconsin earlier this year,

entitled " 9/11 and the American Empire, " was broadcast twice on C-SPAN. In

late September Dr. Griffin was asked to give expert testimony at hearings

sponsored by Cynthia McKinney and the Congressional Black Caucus investigating

the 9/11 Commission Report. He is currently Professor Emeritus at Claremont

College in California.
