Just before 9:11 p.m. on Sept. 11, the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Richard Gage, AIA, founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, stood at the corner of Church and Worth Streets in Lower Manhattan with 200 9/11 Truth advocates in eager anticipation of the switch being thrown on what until that moment had been a tightly held secret by the AE911Truth leadership — a two-billion-candlepower Third Beam of light about to shoot into the NYC skyline representing the controlled-demolition destruction of Building 7 — the third WTC skyscraper, not hit by any plane, to fall on 9/11.
The purpose of The Third Beam — championed and executed by Barbara Honegger with the enthusiastic support of AE911Truth core team members, NYCCAN and the BuildingWhat? Campaign — was to break through the media blackout surrounding Building 7’s fall and its censorship by the official 9/11 Commission Report.
As Barbara pressed the buttons on the high-power spotlights and the Beam ignited the night sky at exactly 9:11 p.m., an AE911Truth press release was simultaneously issued to the 500 mainstream newspapers, TV networks and stations, and radio in the larger New York City area via PR Newswire’s ‘NYC Metro’ media distribution list. This press release and the release on AE911Truth’s Washington, DC, press conference of two days earlier ranked second and third “Most Read” on the PR Newswire web page. As part of this planned media blitz, Gage distributed a call list which Honegger prepared for attendees at the concurrent INN World Report conference on “How the World Changed After 9/11” being held nearby, asking each to contact a designated mainstream media company with the question, “Why is there a third Beam of light in the New York City skyline tonight?!”
Another year of plunder by the Corporate Military Banking Complex against the People of the World brings cause to join hands in spirit of keeping what freedoms we have and continuing the struggle for justice and equality for all.
The Bohemian Grove retreat for the wealthy is fast approaching this July. Normally the 2nd weekend of July is the first ceremony known as the “Cremation of Care” at the campground for the rich, and this year is no different. This coming Saturday, July 17th will be a crowded day at the gates of the Grove as arriving guests meet protesters at the famous corner of Bohemain Ave and Railroad Ave. Although there have not been as large of rallies as in the 1980′s and 90′s, small groups of people have not forgotten the fact that some of the most influential and powerful men in the world gather at the Grove each July.
In the last couple of years, many people have been arrested trying to gain access to grove illegally, most notably the Vanity Fair photographer. However the rallies at the gates of the Grove have been peaceful, informational, and overall fun. The bulk of the last couple of years of attention to the grove came from concerned 9/11 activists, including myself, however it would be great to see a more diverse group of concerned people looking for social or economic justice.
The amount of energy this cop puts into keeping these guys from doing there thing is amazing, it would be more amazing if I wasn’t already used to it. Luckily these activists didn’t end up like John McKenna in Maryland recently

Alamo Park Police encounter, Alamo Park Police literally make up laws and rules to stop us from handing out “FREE DVDS” on our 9/11 Truth, 11th of the month, street action.
Alex Jones exposes key information about the Pentagon shooting and the Christmas Day Bombing during a live segment with Geraldo Rivera on FOX News this Saturday. Geraldo asks if the Pentagon shooting incident “will stick to the 9/11 Truther people”, almost as if that was someone’s intent. Alex responds in anger about why the media moved so quickly in attempt to demonize 9/11 Truthers– who broadly include, polls show, a majority of Americans and 6 out of 10 9/11 Commissioners who question the official story.
Alex makes clear in the segment, it was no more than one hour after the incident that major national news outlets were reporting the connection– how were they so ready to report, and why were they so focused on Bedell’s apparent postings about 9/11? What makes the establishment so uncomfortable about 9/11 questions that its media tools work overtime to denounce it? Pundits like Bill O’Reilly, Glenn Beck and Chris Matthews constantly hype up the “hurt feelings” the movement causes or its alleged potential for violence. Then when random, lone nut acts occur, news teams dash to explain the supposed anti-government motivation behind the acts, whether seeking to link it 9/11 truth in this case, or to the Tea Party movement in the case of the IRS plane crash mentioned by Geraldo.
If someone tripled the fire insurance on their house and then it was burned to the ground days later, would you be suspicious? A similar comparison can be made to last night’s shooting at the Pentagon, which was preceded by weeks of hype from both the establishment left and right about the inevitability of 9/11 truthers going postal.
The media’s almost instantaneous explanation for the motive behind the shooting that injured two police officers was assailant John Patrick Bedell’s sense of injustice surrounding 9/11 truth.
Quite how Bedell planned to take on the hub of the military-industrial complex on his own with a couple of guns defies logic and renders the claim that Bedell was acting on his political angst ludicrous.
But the most disturbing aspect surrounding yesterday’s incident is the fact that people like Glenn Beck on the establishment right and establishment liberal media outlets like CNN and MSNBC on the left have been aggressively promoting for months the notion that people who express dissent against the government are intent on killing people.
I will post the others as they become available… Feb 23, 2010
Celebrating a milestone event in the long history of the 9/11 Truth movement – over 1000 Architects and Engineers have taken a close look at the evidence and concluded that the government’s cover story does not resolve the facts. This is the first in a 7 part series documenting the magnificent event held at the Marine’s Memorial Club & Hotel in San Francisco.
Must a candidate for public office embrace the government’s official version of 9-11?
The recent scuffle between Glenn Beck and Debra Medina regarding her personal views of 9-11, while exposing Beck as a shill, also raises another question. What is acceptable for a candidate for public office to believe regarding 9-11? Are all candidates required to agree with the 9-11 Commission Report? Is it now a litmus test for all those seeking office? That would seem to be asking a lot, especially considering what the Commissioners themselves have said about the 9-11 Commisssion:
In a New York Times article dated 1-2-08, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, co-chairs of ther 911 Commission, said that the CIA (and likely the White House) “obstructed our investigation“.
The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission also said that the 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials misrepresented the facts to the Commission, and the Commission considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements.
During a fundraiser in New York, We Are Change activists Anthony from Ohio and Danny of New York got a chance to interview comedian/actor/game show host Hal Sparks.
Sparks voiced his views on 9/11 truth. He discussed the 19 hijackers, building 7 and the fact that Bin Laden was a known CIA asset. Sparks stated that Americans have a responsibility to at least look deeper, you dont have to go all the way down the rabbit hole with some people, you also cant stick your head in the sand and that the vast majority of Americans are waking up. Sparks also commented on the co-op of the tea party movement by Glenn Beck.
He also mentioned that Scott Brown the newly elected Republican Senator of Massachusetts had previously voted against further benefits for 9/11 workers.
When asked about Glenn Becks slanderous comments about 9/11 Truth activists, Sparks stated Glenn Beck I think to some degree is mentally incapacitated He had much more to say about Glenn Beck, the details can be found in the video. On behalf of We Are Change and the 9/11 Truth movement, we thank Hal Sparks for his courage to speak truth to power.
Reflections on a Recent Evaluation of Dr. David Ray Griffin
The cover story of the September 24, 2009, issue of The New Statesman, the venerable left-leaning British magazine, was entitled “The 50 People who Matter Today.”(1) Any such list, necessarily reflecting the bias and limited awareness of the editors, would surely contain choices that readers would find surprising.
That is true of this list – which includes families as well as individuals. A good number of names are, to be sure, ones that would be contained in most such lists created by British, Canadian, or American political commentators, such as the Obamas, the Murdochs, Vladimir Putin, Osama bin Laden, Angela Merkel, Bill and Melinda Gates, Warren Buffett, Pope Benedict XVI, and Gordon Brown. But about half of the names reflected choices that I, and probably most other readers, found surprising. One of these choices, however, is beyond surprising – it is astounding.

Richard Gage AIA appeared on New Zealand’s government owned television station, TVNZ, on 27 November 2009.
In this interview on the “Close Up” program, Gage lays out the overwhelming evidence for controlled demolition of 3 WTC office towers on 11 September 2009.
This may be the first time the evidence assembled by Gage and others in the 9/11 truth movement has been presented with the gravity and respect it deserves by any mainstream news broadcaster.
I would like to commend TVNZ’s board for having the courage to air this piece.
A Swedish Member of Parliament has pledged support for a new investigation into the events of 9/11, adding that prominent political figures support the view that elements of the U.S. government were involved in staging the attacks.
