The one-hour BBC program The Third Tower should have a positive effect on spreading the truth about what happened to WTC 7. Despite its attempt to debunk by twisting and omitting facts, there is much to cheer about.

Here are 30 examples from the program:

1) There is a WTC 7, many have never heard of it.

2) No plane hit WTC 7.

3) WTC 7 fell down.

4) Several videos of WTC 7 falling down are shown.

5) The collapse is compared visually to a controlled demolition.

6) Barry Jennings tells of hearing multiple explosions in WTC 7.

7) Barry Jennings was told while in WTC 7 "Get out of there, get out of there now", which sounds very suspicious.

8) Barry Jennings' time-line is not contradicted by anything Barry Jennings says.

9) After seven years, no final report on the collapse of WTC 7 has appeared.

10) The program will generate sales and Internet hits of 'Loose Change'.

11) The program will help raise the profile of Dylan Avery, Richard Gage, and Steven Jones.

12) The profile and web hits for Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth will be raised.

13) New experts not well known are introduced, including Scott Grainger and Kamal Obeid of www.ae911Truth.org.

14) WTC 7 housed offices of the CIA, Secret Service, Department of Defense, and the Mayor's Office of Emergency Management.

Dr. Kevin Barrett, coordinator of the Muslim-Christian-Jewish Alliance for 9/11 Truth, has taught English, French, Arabic, American Civilization, Humanities, African Literature, Folklore, and Islam at colleges and universities in the San Francisco Bay area, Paris, and Madison, Wisconsin. He grew up in a family of lapsed Unitarians (which is about as lapsed as it gets) and reverted to Islam in 1993, a move that gradually impressed upon him the gravity of the moral choices we make in this life. Barrett's dissertation is on Islam and Moroccan legend. He is also the author and illustrator of the cult classic A Guide to Mysterious San Francisco, published under the pseudonym of "Dr. Weirde." (He begs Allah's forgiveness for that slightly twisted book.) Barrett became a 9/11 truth activist in 2004 after reading David Griffin's The New Pearl Harbor and conducting follow-up research that convinced him Griffin had accurately summarized evidence indicating 9/11 was an inside job. In the summer of 2004 he founded 9/11 Truth Squad, a local group based in Madison, Wisconsin. In July, he rashly rejected a plum post-doc at the University of California because it was funded by the 9/11-disinformation-sponsoring CIA-linked Ford Foundation. In the summer of 2006, Republican state legislators and Fox newscasters demanded that Barrett be fired from his job teaching an introductory Islam class at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, but the University refused to buckle, and Barrett got high marks from his students. Barrett has led several 9/11 Truth Teach-Ins at the University of Wisconsin, including 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Truth Marathon on the third and fourth anniversaries of the attacks. He has appeared in several documentary films, lectures widely on 9/11 and hosts three radio programs on three different patriot networks: http://www.mujca.com/airwaves.htm

Thank you

I have said from that day to this that without government help, 9-11 could not have taken place. The more I have learned and the more I know about that day, the more I think the treason occured at the highest levels of government. Mainly Mr. chaney and Mr. bush.

Doesn't seem to me like a very honorable stance to merely hope that people get certain messages that are supposedly beneficial to your POV, and not the entire context. Lots of truth and insight can be neglected by operating in that rather unhealthy manner.

Currently at least , one can view the entire show here.

Watch the whole thing, that is if you're really interested in the full picture, and not just a certain part of it. It's really not as helpful to the argument by those who can't stand the fact that we DIDN'T attack ourselves on 9/11 as Mr. Barrett would have you believe.

funny

It was BBC who reported the collapse of WTC 7 some 30 minutes before it happened. When confronted about it, they seemed to have amnesia and couldn't remember anything about it. In fact, they even claimed that they accidentally lost the videos from that day.

Watch September Clues. They give you an excellent idea of just what the media is capable of doing.

re: funny

Watch the complete BBC doc for full context on this point. I'd hope that every mistake you ever made in haste and confusioin wasn't misconstrued to paint you in an inaccurate and evil light. Cause that'd be unfair, and just plain wrong.

Media Blackout

Do you remember the people being interviewed on the news on 9-11, explaining what they saw? I remember seeing Gary Welz a couple of different times on the news wearing different costumes pretending to be different people. He's an actor. Same thing with John Albenese.

Has anybody "debunked" why we saw actors explaining what they witnessed on 9-11?

I'm really not interested in debating "aliens did it" or "there were no planes" theories. I believe these people are either lunatics or disinformation agents.

In September Clues they point out a plethera of problems with regard to what was shown to us on the news. It's amazing that the fact that the video in the Faux archives has been modified, edited, and altered compared to what they showed us that day and it isn't raising any eyebrows.

But, as BBC has demonstrated, the MSM will go to great lengths to cover their own butts.

If anybody could provide some explanation about "Gary Welz", I'd appreciate it.

IMHO

I'm not sure how much stock I'd put into a one-sided bedroom-produced cheesy propaganda flick, but the most likely explanation for one person appearing in different costumes, if that is accurate, is that someone wanted to get attention and see himself on TV lots of times.

The least likely explanation is that it's part of some grand conspiracy related to an "inside job".

huh

Alan, you're probably right about that one.

The 9-11 Solution video clip asks some good questions too. Although it doesn't really prove anything, it does seem to indicate that the offical version of 9-11 was almost completely developed before the towers even came down.

I noticed too that these "debunking the conspiracy theories" claim that the government would have had to spend a HUGE amount of money to pull it off, therefore it's not possible. Have you noticed how they don't mention that 2.3 Trillion went missing from the Pentacon on 9-10-2001? It would be nice to have an investigation into what happened but an "airplane" destroyed the offices at the Pentagon containing the financial data.

"Have you noticed how they don't mention that 2.3 Trillion went missing from the Pentacon on 9-10-2001? It would be nice to have an investigation into what happened but an "airplane" destroyed the offices at the Pentagon containing the financial data."

A quote "airplane"? No, an airplane. There's no quotes about it.

2.3 trillion didn't go "missing". What's missing is context:

Makes sense? To some, apparently, based on the sites and forum posts we've seen, but if you take a closer look at the information they've left out then a very different picture emerges.

I have a special interest in discussing 9/11 conspiracy theories, and am still looking for one that makes the slightest bit of sense after objectively reading and evaluating them for several years now. I am familiar with most of the conspiracy web sites and what they have to say, as well as with NIST's NCSTAR1, FEMA's WTC Building Performance Study, and a number of 9/11 debunking web sites also. The latter tend to be far more logical than the conspiracy sites, and not only express opinions, but ...

More Good News for the Truth Movement

I have recently posted an article on here with suggestions for you and your fellow researchers who would like more people to know what really happened to the WTC buildings after the 9/11 attacks, Kevin. I have also emailed it to an MP in Canada, David Leifer in Sydney, Richard Gage's "team truth," and a number of other highly enlightened people, including you, but haven't heard back from anyone yet. This is a modest project which will do far more than just make shocking claims by actually demonstrating some of them for us. It wouldn't take too many $22 "9/11 Was an Inside Job!" tee shirts to fund this endeavor, and I hope that some of you will get behind it as soon as possible. Here's the link to my article for your consideration:

My name isn't coming up when I post to OpEdNews, so I have contacted the editor. My profile page looks OK, and I don't know what's causing this problem, but I'm trying to resolve it. I previously wrote this article:

I am a bone fide skeptic. I find the glut of nonsense posted on the internet to be particulary annoying. My goal is to explore the realms of stupidity and hold them up for closer inspection. This can be tricky, since stupid evaporates quickly in the light of reason.

Truther's were smacked down

It takes a level of denial rarely seen before to think that the BBC program was anything more than a total smackdown of truther nonsense.

Barrett Predicts Brett Favre Will Return to the NFL

For Immediate Release - July 13, 2008

Contact:

(Lone Rock)

Today, while campaigning in Lone Rock, Wisconsin, Dr. Kevin Barrett predicted that quarterback Brett Favre would return to the NFL, throw at least 20 touchdown passes, and lead the Green Bay Packers back to the Superbowl.

Barrett believes that the marketing opportunities Favre brings to the table will be too much to resist for both Favre and Packers management. Since the Packers had the youngest team in the NFL last season, with Favre, they could be favored to win the Superbowl.

Barrett also believes that time has healed the wound felt by Favre, who was angry that greedy Packers management refused to sign wide receiver Randy Moss last season. The Packers could have gotten Moss for a 4th round draft pick, but instead, tried to hold out for a 5th round pick. Moss caught an NFL record 23 touchdown passes last season for the New England Patriots.

Kevin Barrett says; "A Brett Favre comeback will be good for the war-ravaged Wisconsin economy."

Other Predictions by Dr. Barrett:

1) The Milwaukee Brewers will make it to the World Series and possibly win it, further boosting Wisconsin's economy.

2) Barrett refuses to predict a championship for the Milwaukee Bucks next season, noting that the NBA East has several stronger teams and that the San Antonio Spurs always win the title in odd-numbered years.

3) Barack Obama's flip-flop on the FISA bill and telecom immunity will be proven to be just the tip of the iceberg, for those who think Obama may be an anti-Empire candidate.

4) Despite the flip-flop, Obama will win the presidential election by more than 10%. Hence, since John McCain won't win, Barrett urges you to invest your vote with either Libertarian Bob Barr or Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney.

5) Man will someday colonize the Moon, and life will be found somewhere else in the universe.

6) Someday, we will dispose of nuclear waste by shooting it into space.

7) In 2020, Wisconsin farmers will lead the nation in producing hemp for fiber, food and fuel, and more than half the milk sold in Wisconsin will be raw milk, which scientists will have determined to be healthier.

8) The Catholic Church will eventually canonize Galileo Galilei.

9) Supercomputers will determine that the Ramsey number R(6,6) = 117. Current scholarship places the value of R(6,6) to be between 102 and 165, inclusive.

Reference:

Ramsey's theorem
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramsey's_theorem

10) A new official investigation of the 9/11 attacks will begin in 2010.

11) The final NIST report on WTC 7 will not appear until George Bush is out of office.

12) Based on comparisons with the Soviet and Roman Empires, the United States central government will collapse in the year 2125 (approximately), because of economic problems brought on by high income taxes, budget deficits, and militarism.

Appendix:

"If an alien spaceship were to come to Earth and demand that we tell them the answer to R(5,5) or they will kill us all, it would take all the computing power in the world to find the answer for the aliens. If they ask for R(6,6), we should try to kill them."

hmmmm

Alan,

The article in your link suggests that the government acknowledges $700 billion is unaccounted for. If it's true, that's still A LOT of money.

What happened on 9-10-2001 exactly? Ex. CIA-director, former President, and President Bush's dad, George H.W. Bush, meets with one of Osama Bin Laden's brothers at a Carlyle business conference in Washington D.C. Was something big with oil about to happen? How much is that gas costing us at the pump now, anyway?

Were all of the memos and notices about the attacks given to Bush ignored for a reason?

What about PNAC? Did they get their "New Pearl Harbor"?

In May 2001, Fox's "The Lone Gunmen" depicts a U.S. government conspiracy plot to crash an electronically hijacked 727 and to blame it on Arab terrorists. It's a good thing that never happened..... ;-)

These are all some fantastic coincidences, don't you think so?

The problem with Fight 77:
Hani Hanjour (the supposed pilot of Flight 77) was ticketed August 1, 2001 for driving 55 mph in a 30 mph zone in the 1800 block of South George Mason Drive, Arlington, Va., police said. Three weeks after the stop, Hanjour mailed in a money order to pay a $70 fine and $30 in court costs, Arlington General District Court Clerk Kimberly Reazey. This would only make sense if you weren't going to kill yourself next week, obviously. In fact his name was not on the American Airlines manifest for the flight because he didn't have a ticket.

What about Bob Stevens? He got anthraxed, and died, after posting an embarrassing picture in the National Enquirer of Jenna Bush, all wasted, making out with some girl on the floor. What happened with the anthrax investigations anyway? I guess these "terrorists" just want to help protect the Bush family's image.
