All you SKEPTICS of 911 lore.....THIS ONES FOR YOU!
Note to Skinner and staff: Specificly Requesting that Skinner allow this post to stay in General Discussion forum and not be relegated to some obscure forum


What follows is a momentous development in the 911 community:



Dr. David Ray Griffin was invited to speak to

The National Press Club


in Washington, DC



(The National Press Club, according to its own website (http://npc.press.org) is "the largest and most prestigious press club in the world." That Dr. Griffin was even invited to speak there may be a sign that the tide is turning for 9/11 truth.)


9/11 and the Mainstream Press
by Dr. David Ray Griffin
SeptemberEleventh.org
Friday, Jul 29, 2005

Address given at the National Press Club
July 22, 2005

(snip)
President Bush himself advised people, perhaps especially reporters, not to tolerate "outrageous conspiracy theories." What the president really meant is that people should not tolerate any outrageous conspiracy theories except his own, according to which 19 Arab Muslims defeated the most powerful and sophisticated defense system in history and also defeated the laws of physics, bringing down three steel-frame building in a way that perfectly mimicked controlled demolition.

(snip)

But the mainstream press instead offered itself as a mouthpiece for the administration’s conspiracy theory.

(snip)

Controlled demolition was also suggested by the fact that the collapses were total, with the 110-story Twin Towers collapsing into a pile of rubble only a few stories high.

(snip)

This means that the publication of The 9/11 Commission Report needs to be recognized as a decisive event, because it was the moment at which the prima facie case against the Bush administration became a conclusive case.


What we need now is a press that will let the American people in on this development---which is most important, given the fact that the official story about 9/11 has provided the pretext for virtually every other horrible thing this administration has done.

7. Probably because...


DU is probably funded somehow by the Democrats... You know, the party that's part of the "sandbox politics" along with the GOP when it comes to 9/11?

2. Right after 911 Boosh said conspiracy theories abound!
His fantasy about 19 arabs, the WTC, and a magical passport is just one of them! To all you naysayers, show me OBL! Where is he!?!?! Why doesn't Boosh care at all about capturing him? Until OBL is caught and admits in a court of law that he did it, I won't believe a word of anything the BFEE says.

3. Dr. Griffin
appears to be a doctor of philosophy, focusing on areas of religion.

What expertise does he have to state that the fall of the towers violated the laws of physics?

4. There are plenty of engineers and architects who have
made this argument... and the laws of physics are not proprietary. Griffin has done extensive research into this, so don't dismiss him because he is a theologian.

5. And isn't it true
that far more engineers and architects disagree?

So why should I believe a theologian's argument?

8. Contradictions, destruction and denial of evidence can be seen by anyone.
these are the main thrusts of Griffin's arguments. It doesn't even take a law student to see that.

15. Because he has documentation, which you can check
He shows that the 9/11 Commission Report is dishonest disinformation and cover-up, with documentation supported by testimony of officials to the 9/11 Commission.

Testimony to the Commission documented complicity by some officials.

10. Logic
Dr. Griffin has a lifetime of experience with logic, fiction, and knowing the difference.
