Reminding us of the Golden Rule and the Biblical admonition not to covet our neighbor's goods, including his oil, Dr. Griffin implores us to adamantly resist the 9-11-fed attempt to rule the world. He urges us to reclaim our ethical foundation, It is time to call our nation back to its moral ideals, which stand diametrically opposed to the global domination project.
The truth can indeed set us free, Dr. Griffin reminds us, if we have the courage to face it.
Former United States States Senator Gravell has said "we don't know the truth about 9/11." Amy Goodman asked him about that on DemocracyNow! http://www.democracynow.org/2008/6/17/former_senator_mike_gravel_calls_forMIKE
GRAVEL: Government-90 percent of what the government does is held secret. It's a whole cult. And that's the thing that is really strangling our democracy, that we just don't know what's going on. And so, you need to rip off the scab and see the wound of what the government is damaging. And so, it's a cult. And I don't know how I can phrase it. I've written about the subject. ...Now, from my point of view, impeachment is not what George Bush deserves. He deserves to be prosecuted. He and Cheney need to go to the Hague and stand in the dock like they had Milosevic and others. What they did was criminal. 4,000 Americans have died as a result of their fraud on the American people and-
AMY GOODMAN: 'Do you support Vincent Bugliosi, the Charles Manson prosecutor, who got him behind bars, his call for-we had him on Friday. He's written the book The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder.'
MIKE GRAVEL: 'Oh, there's no question about it. In fact, I have great regrets over the fact that we never put Richard Nixon in jail. I mean, everybody around him went to jail, and he got off and rehabilitated himself. The sooner we put a president or a vice president or a secretary in jail for crimes that they commit against humanity, the sooner leaders will shape up.'

On May 24, at 7:30 PM, Dr. David Ray Griffin spoke at Southern Oregon University at the Britt Auditorium. The Subject was 9/11. The cost of admission was $10 to the general public, $5 for students. I paid the general admission price. The event was co-sponsored by Students for Truth, the local Ashland chapter of the 9/11 Truth Now movement and another student organization. The day before, there had been a huge feature article in the local newspaper, The Ashland Daily Tidings. The event was hosted by Mike Green of the Ashland Daily Tidings. He addressed a packed auditorium.
Dr. David Ray Griffin grew up in Oregon, as it turns out.
He began the presentation to an auditorium full of people with the assertion, "Let's get empirical about 9/11.... The evidence is now overwhelming that 9/11 was an inside job.... The question of what happened on 9/11 can only be answered responsibly by being empirical.... When we get empirical about what happened on September 11, we see that 9/11 was caused by forces and individuals within our own government."
Dr. Griffin then went into a brief discussion on the idea of this whole notion of this being a "conspiracy theory." He began with the dictionary definition of the word conspiracy. "A conspiracy," Dr. Griffin said, "is when two or more people conspire --or plan --to commit a crime. Criminals of all types have conspired. We are all conspiracy theorists," he added.
Dr. Griffin expalined that anytime anyone theorizes about a conspiracy or a possible conspiracy, that person is being a conspiracy theorist. "There is also the propagandistic meaning of conspiracy theory," Dr. Griffin explained, "or conspiracy theorist. Our newspapers are full of conspiracy theories. The government explanation of 9/11 is also a conspiracy theory."
'The term "conspiracy theory" is also used as a term of abuse,' Dr. Griffin explained. This occurs when the term is leveled at someone in a disparaging manner in reaction to that person attempting to get to the bottom of the facts. "When you finally get empirical about 9/11, you learn some of the relevant facts," Dr. Griffin explained.
'The Bush/Cheney administration lied us into the war on Iraq. This was shown most vividly in "The Downing Street Memo." --American deaths in Iraq now OUTNUMBER the number of people who died on 9/11," he added. "Many of the people involved in the cleanup have suffered as well. More than half have already contracted severe debilitating diseases." Immediately after the attacks on September 11 in Manhattan, the EPA declared the air in Manhattan unsafe to breathe. The Bush/Cheney administration forced the EPA to retract this statement so that the cleanup crews could be sent out to "ground zero" to proceed with the cleanup. "Over the next fifteen years, far more people will die than died on September 11," Dr Griffin stated. "For this reason, we have no basis for believing that the Bush/Cheney administration is too sensitive to allow this to happen," Dr. Griffin said.
"One question people often ask is why haven't more people come forward? People generally don't talk unless there is a criminal investigation going on. There hasn't been a criminal investigation."
