formed, "Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth". Outreach
to architects and engineers; presentations to the public and to professionals;

1121architectural and engineering professionals and
7425
other supporters including A&E students have signed the petition demanding of Congress
a truly independent investigation.
In this edition of CrossTalk host Peter Lavelle asks his guests (Annie Machon, Ian Henshall, Richard Gage, AIA) why discussion of the events of 9/11 continue to attract so much attention but is all but banned in the media mainstream.
On January 22, the Shukan Asahi, a popular weekly magazine in Japan, reported on the activities of an organization called "Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth." San Francisco Bay area architect, Richard Gage, AIA, president of the 1,000-member group, is spreading the message worldwide that, "9/11 did not happen the way we have been told that it happened."
The Shukan Asahi is no easily dismissed tabloid. It is owned by Asahi Shinbum, Japan's second largest newspaper. It is similar to our Washington Post-owned Newsweek. The widely-respected Japanese media parent is also a publishing ally of the International Herald Tribune, which is owned by the New York Times.
The American architects and engineers group maintains that the trade towers and another building, known as Building 7, were brought down by controlled demolition. They say that it is impossible for the airplane crashes and subsequent fires to have caused the buildings to collapse.
Gage, who has addressed groups in Australia, New Zealand and Japan, says that he has had more success with foreign journalists. Gage said there is "a lot of reluctance from the American press."
A new movement to reinvestigate the 9/11 attacks is gaining pace in the US. With major public support, 12 towns are set to decide whether to ask the federal government for a new independent probe.
New York is dubbed as the Empire State for its wealth and resources and is rightfully regarded as America's most famous city, a beacon of fashion, finance and fast paced action.
New Hampshire is the Granite State of so-called self sufficiency. Less flash and cash, most famous for hosting the first U.S. presidential primary.
New York and New Hampshire are more than 200 miles apart, but for all that distance, the two US locations intersect on one issue: the 9/11 attacks. While it was in Manhattan where three buildings fell, the people of Keene, New Hampshire are pushing for a new probe to find out why.
Today's guest is Richard Gage, AIA and he is a San Francisco based architect and a member of the American Institute of Architects.
Also on today's program, Erik Lawyer, a veteran firefighter with the City of Seattle and founder of the Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, a non-partisan association of firefighters who demand re-investigating the official 9/11 stories for the benefit of all the rescue workers who suffered injury and illnesses and died.
Editor's Note: Our cause might be better served by supporting the publishers.
Elizabeth Woodworth offers this:
"It's now confirmed that the February edition is available in print, and can be ordered for $24 for the whole issue.
Contact SAGE Journals Customer Service department via e-mail at journals@sagepub.com or phone 1-800-818-7243 then hit #2, then #0 for operator, then ask for "Journals", and they will mail a copy.
Otherwise individual papers cost $25 to be viewed for one day, on the journal's website, and cannot be downloaded from it. (Because the pdf could be freely circulated if it were downloadable)."
For 50 years the American Behavioral Scientist has been a leading source of behavioral research for the academic world. Its influence is shown by the fact that it is indexed by an extraordinary 67 major database services, causing its papers to be widely exposed on the international scene.
The publisher, Sage, is headquartered in Los Angeles, with offices in London, New Delhi, Singapore, and Washington DC.
Each issue offers comprehensive analysis of a single topic.
The six papers in the February 2010 issue are devoted to the recent concept of "State Crimes Against Democracy (SCAD's)," with emphasis on 9/11 and on how human behavior has failed to recognize its reality. [Ref. abs.sagepub.com/content/vol53/issue6]
As seen in this revealing photo, the
Twin Towers' destruction
exhibited all of the characteristics of destruction by explosives:
(and some non-standard characteristics)
No precedent for steel-framed high-rise collapse due to fire
And exhibited none of the characteristics of destruction by fire, i.e.
1.
Slow onset with large visible deformations
2.
Asymmetrical collapse which follows the path of least resistance
(laws of conservation of momentum would cause a falling, intact, from
the point of plane impact, to the side most damaged by the fires)
High-rise buildings
with much larger, hotter, and longer lasting fires have never “collapsed”
WTC Building #7, a 47-story high-rise not
hit by an airplane, exhibits all the characteristics of
classic controlled demolition with explosives:
(and some non-standard characteristics)
And exhibited none of the characteristics of destruction by fire, i.e.
1.
Slow onset with large visible deformations
2.
Asymmetrical collapse which follows the path of least resistance
(laws of conservation of momentum would cause a falling,
to the side most damaged by the fires)
3.
Evidence of fire temperatures capable of softening steel
4.
High-rise buildings
with much larger, hotter, and longer lasting fires have never “collapsed”.
