9/11 Family Steering Committee

The Family Steering Committee (FSC) was made up of family members who lost loved ones on September 11, 2001 and who helped bring about the creation of the 9/11 Commission. They later submitted a series of questions and provided testimony to the Commission. Most of the questions were never answered, but remain archived on the FSC website, Family Steering Committee for the 9/11 Independent Commission.

He is now a peace-activist critizising the Star-Wars-program.[3]. He has written an article What Really Happened on 9/11; Why All the Secrecy? in which he states "There are conspiracy theories flying around the internet like seagulls around a landfill. Many people are convinced that George W. Bush knew what was going to happen and purposely allowed it to happen so he and his neo-conservative buddies could have the “new Pearl Harbor” they needed to justify their wars against Afghanistan and Iraq. Others go further. They are absolutely sure Cheney and company actually planned and carried out the attack (usually along with the Mossad). These folks don’t think there were ever any Arab hijackers at all. What is so disturbing is that their arguments are quite convincing. If an enormous cloud of suspicion is not to be permanently over the head of our government, the Bush Administration must “come clean,” releasing information thus far withheld from the American people."

 

Kristin Breitweiser

September (The CIA and September 11) in which he alleges US government complicity in 9/11. "Planning the attacks was a master deed, in technical and organizational terms. To hijack four big airliners within a few minutes and fly them into targets within a single hour and doing so on complicated flight routes! That is unthinkable, without backing from the secret apparatuses of state and industry." Tagesspiegel, 13. Jan. 2002 [5]

 

Michel Chossudovsky

Tom Flocco

Tom Flocco is an investigative journalist who suggests the CIA played a role in insider trading of "put options" on affected companies days before the attack on 9/11.[6]. Flocco's website has also been listed in "a guide to bogus 9/11 truth websites"[7].

Griffin conveys the research of others supporting the ideas that the United States government was complicit in the September 11, attacks, placed explosives in the Twin Towers and that some 9/11 researchers believe something other than a commercial jet hit the Pentagon in Washington, DC.

 

Rodger Herbst

Rodger Herbst, bachelor of aeronautical and astronautical engineering and mechanical engineer, Has written two papers Mysteries of the Twin Towers and Notes on The 9/11 Omission Report.

”The cause of the collapse of the towers should have been thoroughly investigated and understood by now, but this is not the case. […] The Official Story has it that the impact of commercial aircraft, and the ensuing fire caused by aircraft fuel led to the collapse of WTC 1 and 2, the North and South World Trade Center Towers, on September 11 2001. This Official Story, supported by the mainstream US media, and all Bush administration approved “investigations,” leaves a number of issues un-addressed and unresolved. Information from a number of sources is brought together here to help clarify the issue of the collapse of the towers.”

 

Jim Hoffman

Jim Hoffman analyzes the collapses of the WTC Twin Towers and WTC Building 7, as described on his website 911research.wtc7.net. Hoffman is co-author, with Don Paul, of the book Waking Up From Our Nightmare: The 9/11/01 Crimes in New York City[8] ISBN 0943096103.

Jared Israel

Jared Israel was one of the first researchers to question the timeliness of the US Air Force response on 9/11, and began publishing his critiques online shortly after the attacks. In addition to his website "The Emperor's New Clothes" [11], Jared is also working to publish his book Who did it? Solving the mystery of 9-11. His work has been cited by many subsequent researchers. Notably, unlike many other researchers, who either oppose or do not speak about the state of Israel, Jared actively supports Zionism.

 

Alex Jones

Alex Jones, a documentary film producer, journalist, and radio host credits himself with predicting the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and its responsibility officially being laid with Osama Bin Laden months before it happened. Jones believes that the U.S. government sponsored the 9/11 attacks in order to usher in a police state. Among the notable people he has interviewed: Representative Ron Paul, journalist Greg Palast, former Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution Paul Craig Roberts, Bev Harris, Former 27 year CIA member Ray McGovern, former Minister for Research and Technology in Germany, Andreas von Bülow and chief prosecutor for the impeachment of Bill Clinton, David Schippers.

 

Steven E. Jones

Steven E. Jones, a professor of physics at Brigham Young University has investigated the hypothesis that the World Trade Center Twin Towers and WTC 7, which all collapsed nearly symmetrically on September 11, 2001, were brought down by pre-positioned explosives, as explained in his paper Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Collapse?. Jones appeared on the Tucker Carlson show on MSNBC to explain his hypothesis and is the first 9/11 researcher to have a paper peer reviewed. Although the term cold fusion was coined by Jones, his experimental work was significantly different than the more controversial cold fusion experiments of Pons and Fleischmann. He is a cofounder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth.

 

John Judge

John Judge is a researcher and co-founder of 911 Citizens Watch, a grassroots watchdog group guided by the 9/11 Families Advisory Group.

Peter Lance

Peter Lance is an investigative reporter, a former ABC News correspondent, and a five-time Emmy-winner. [12] He is the author of Cover Up : What the Government Is Still Hiding About the War on Terror ISBN 0060543558. While this book does not state a conclusion that 9/11 was either carried out, or allowed to happen, by people within the US government, he cites much of the same evidence as those that who have come to those conclusions, such as the lack of a timely airforce response. Lance is harshly critical of what he views as a coverup by the official 9/11 Commission, unexplained inconsistencies in the official accounts, and obstruction by the Bush administration and Federal Government.

Michael Meacher

Michael Meacher UK Minister of Environment (1997 - 2003) has published an essay “The War on Terrorism is Bogus.” in The Guardian, September 6, 2003. “The war on terrorism is a smoke screen and that the US knew in advance about the September 11 attack on New York but, for strategic reasons, chose not to act on the warnings. He says the US goal is ‘world hegemony, built around securing by force command over the oil supplies’ and that this Pax Americana ‘provides a much better explanation of what actually happened before, during and after 9/11 than the global war on terrorism thesis.’ Mr. Meacher adds that the US has made ‘no serious attempt’ to catch the al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden.” and ”The conclusion of all this analysis must surely be that the "global war on terrorism" has the hallmarks of a political myth propagated to pave the way for a wholly different agenda - the US goal of world hegemony, built around securing by force command over the oil supplies required to drive the whole project. ”

 

Peter Meyer

Peter Meyer is the author of the Serendipity website. The first version of his World Trade Center Demolition article appeared there two days after 9/11. Since then he has published on Serendipity numerous other 9/11-related articles, both by himself and by others, in particular his lengthy Reply to Popular Mechanics re 9/11. Meyer presents persuasive evidence that the official "19 Arab hijackers" explanation for the events of 9/11 cannot be true, and provides an alternative explanation for why the attacks occurred. However, Meyer's site also features claims of which many in the 9/11 movement do not agree, such as the idea that commercial jets did not hit the WTC towers, but instead, something else caused the destruction and fake canisters of debris were ejected out of the towers when the planes impacted the towers.

 

Thierry Meyssan

Thierry Meyssan a French political activist and author of the book L'Effroyable Imposture (The Frightening Fraud) ISBN 1592090265. He was one of the first to suggest a truck bomb or a missile--instead of a plane--hit the Pentagon, but he did not travel from Paris to Washington to interview any of the eyewitnesses. Many other researchers have come to the conclusion that this was an effort to distract from undisputed evidence such as the fact the Pentagon was struck in the mostly empty, under "reconstruction" part, which minimized casualties (thousands could have been killed if any other "wedge" had been hit).

 

John Newman

John Newman spent 21 years in Army Intelligence and served as Assistant to the Director of the National Security Agency. He also served as an attaché in China.

McKinney 9/11 Congressional Briefing he stated "It falls to me this morning to bring to your attention the story of Saeed Sheikh, whose full name is Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, and his astonishing rise to power in Al Qaeda, his crucial role in 9/11, which is completely, utterly, missing from the 9/11 Commission report…and also to deal with what US Intelligence knew about his links to the ISI, (Pakistani Intelligence), and what, if anything, was said or not said in the Commission report about these things."
