How to Handle False Arguments Used to Reject the WTC Evidence

Editor’s Note: New York attorney Dennis McMahon spearheaded the legal effort by NYC CAN in 2009 to compel the New York City Council to initiate a new investigation of the destruction of the WTC skyscrapers. If you would like to support legal actions toward a real 9/11 investigation, write to Gregg Roberts.

It can be challenging for advocates in the 9/11 Truth movement to get our message across to family, friends, and strangers alike. Even when we are able to find an audience not too distracted by electronic devices, work, or their favorite sports team's latest performance, all too often the responses we get amount to false arguments.

We want every citizen to know, but we especially want to inform people and organizations who have the position and ability to do something substantial to assist us in our quest for justice.

Labor unions are such a group. Through much of US history, organized labor has been responsible for establishing a long list of many influential changes in our society, from ending child labor to establishing workplace safety regulations, weekends, eight-hour workdays and health care and pension benefits. Unions have been effective in transforming the conditions of the working class.

We have had some very helpful break-throughs with 9/11 outreach to unions, most notably with Kevin Bracken, president of Australia’s Victoria Trades Hall Council and Secretary of the Maritime Union. Mr. Bracken was actually a 9/11 Truth advocate as early as 2006, distributing materials to union members and leadership, and succeeded in passing a resolution by the Victoria Trades Hall Council on March 28^th, 2008:
