MEDIA RELEASE
Upcoming Sydney Conference to Demonstrate the Three Building Collapses
on 9/11 Were a Controlled Demolition
Sydney, Australia, September 14, 2009 — Truth Action
Australia and 911oz.com will host an International Conference called “The
Hard Evidence” to critically examine the three building Collapses in New
York on September 11, 2001. The official explanation of these building collapse
1, 2 and 7 of the World Trade Center Complex have been attributed primarily
to fire damage causing a “global collapse”, which independent scientific
research has found an entirely insufficient explanation. A group of Architects
and Engineers, approaching one thousand members, is demanding a new investigation
of these building collapses based on hard physical evidence, witness testimony,
video evidence and strict structural analysis using the original blueprints.

The one day event will be comprised of two presentations and an expert panel
discussion, inviting members of the press and public to ask hard technical questions
of the relevant experts. The morning lecture will be from experienced Architect
Richard Gage AIA, representing “Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth”,
presenting “9/11: Blueprint for Truth — The Architecture of Destruction”.
The afternoon presentation will be from Professor Steven Jones Ph.D presenting
research based on his scientific team’s recent published findings asking
“What is Nanothermite a High-tech Explosive Material Doing in the Dust
from WTC Building Collapses on 9/11?” A late afternoon Panel discussion
will follow comprised of highly qualified experts including Paul Mason Structural
Engineer, Chemist Dr Frank Legge and Dr David Leifer a Senior Lecturer in Architecture
at Sydney University.

Today marks the eighth anniversary of 9/11, with vigils being held to remember
the nearly 3,000 people killed in the attacks. We look at a group of victims
that are often forgotten in the September 11 narrative: the thousands of rescue
workers who became sick after being exposed to contaminants at Ground Zero.
Hundreds have died. We speak to Joe Picurro, a New Jersey ironworker who worked
as a volunteer on the pile for twenty-eight days. He is now dying of lung disease.
We also speak with Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), who is co-sponsoring the 9/11
Health and Compensation Act, and Dr. Jacqueline Moline, director of the World
Trade Center Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program at the Mount Sinai School
of Medicine.
JUAN GONZALEZ: Vigils will be held today at the World Trade
Center, the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania to remember the nearly 3,000 people
killed eight years ago in the September 11th attacks. In New York, moments of
silence will be observed at Ground Zero to mark the time when the hijacked planes
hit the World Trade Center and to mark when the towers fell. A reading of the
victims’ names will also be held at Ground Zero.
Today on Democracy Now! we look at a group of victims that are often forgotten
in the September 11th narrative: the many rescue workers who have since become
sick after being exposed to contaminants at Ground Zero. In a few minutes we’ll
be joined by Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney of New York. She’s the sponsor
of the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act, which would provide permanent health
treatment and compensation for all 9/11 Ground Zero workers and residents who
become sick from their exposures to contaminants. But first, we want to turn
to the story of Joe Picurro, an iron worker from New Jersey.

City of New York Concedes 9/11 Coalition Has 30,000
Valid Signatures To Put Referendum For 9/11 Investigation on November Ballot
September 10, 2009

New York — In a last minute decision, lawyers for the City of New York
have conceded that the New York City Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN),
a group comprising 9/11 family members, first responders and survivors, indeed
did submit over 30,000 valid signatures to put the referendum for a new 9/11
investigation before the voters of New York City this November.
In an earlier letter from the City Clerk dated July 24, 2009, the City had
claimed only 26,003 signatures were valid, 3,997 short of the requisite 30,000.
The City’s concession that over 30,000 of the 52,000 signatures submitted
were in fact valid paves the way for lawyers from both sides to argue the legality
of petition.
Asked whether he thought NYC CAN could overcome the City’s challenge
to the legality of the petition, legal counsel to the petitioners, Dennis McMahon,
said, “Absolutely. Although the City has an incredibly successful record
of shooting down ballot initiatives, we will be arguing from a fresh perspective
that reflects the unprecedented events of 9/11. We believe the courts will see
how critical an issue this is, and be persuaded with our legal reasoning and
point of view.” A final determination on the legality of the petition
will be reached in time for the referendum to be included on the November ballot
should the petitioners prevail.

By now it’s quite predictable:
every year as the anniversary of the attack approaches,
some of the most established mainstream media brands
are pressed into service to sell the official story of 9/11.

The 2009 iteration of this spectacle
is notable for the contrast between
the designated brand
and the obligatory message.
That brand, best known for its high-brow photojournalistic
National Geographic Magazine,
has existed since 1889, complete with a non-profit Society dedicated to
education in geography, archaeology, history, world cultures,
and natural science.
One can’t help but wonder how National Geographic’s many benefactors
would feel if they understood how the brand was being
used to prop up the “War on Terror”
with its

Popular-Mechanics-style
attack piece to be aired on August 31, 2009.

A web feature on the website of the
National Geographic Channel
provides a preview of the show
and a window into the methods and goals of the show’s producers.
Those methods are so heavy-handed that the critical reader
can’t help but see
that those goals are something very different from educating.
As an exercise, the reader might want to
read the one-page feature first,
and then compare notes with
my analysis of it below.

National Geographic Then and Now

The 2009 documentary isn’t the first time the
National Geographic brand has been used to rubber-stamp
the official account of the attack.
On September 17, 2001 an article in
National Geographic News
attempted to explain the “collapses”
with such memetic devices mouthed by “experts” as
“the raging inferno” (likened to a fraction of the Hiroshima A-bomb)
turning the steel to “Play-doh” and precipitating
a “domino collapse” in which
“the buildings’ majesty was their own undoing”.
