Richard Gage, AIA, Returns to AE911Truth!
Big Changes Coming for Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth
Yes, the rumors are true! Please join us in welcoming back to AE911Truth the architect who created Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth
20 years ago in the San Francisco Bay Area!
AE911Truth needs a new future—one that is intimately tied to its historic past, with deep involvement from its architect and engineer petition signers. In fact, there is now a whole new Board of Directors, including many building professionals, and a panel of advisors whom most of you will instantly recognize and greatly appreciate! Y
ou may be aware that we parted ways with Richard four years ago. He then formed an all-new 9/11 Truth organization, RichardGage911, along with his wife, Gail. They began right away with a new video podcast, RichardGage911:UNLEASHED, which now numbers 85 podcasts—interviewing eyewitnesses and experts in and around the 9/11 Truth Movement.
Gage didn’t stop there. No, during that time, he has also been interviewed almost 100 times per year, including:
Jimmy Dore - Clayton Morris of REDACTED - Jake Shields - Roger Stone
Alex Stein - Sam Tripoli - Luke Rudkowski - Patrick Bet-David
and almost 300 others—reaching tens of millions.
Of course, he continued his unique speaking engagements:
- 9/11 Truth conference ‘Turning The Tide’ 9/10/25 to 9/13/25 – Washington, DC
- Red Pill Expo – Rapid City, SD
- Anarchapulco Feb/2022 – Acapulco, Mexico
- Advanced Medicine Conference – San Antonio, TX
- Independent National Convention of 2023 – Austin, TX
- National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 3 conferences – Boston, Las Vegas, Orlando
- Restore Freedom Rally, 2023 – Orlando, FL
- America Fest, 2023 – Phoenix, AZ
- Old State Saloon “Parallels: 9/11 & Gaza” – Boise, ID
- “Parallels of 9/11 & COVID” – Miami, FL
- Free World NYC – 22nd 9/11 Anniversary Truth Conference – NYC, NY
- 10-stop West Coast Speaking tour – SF Bay Area to Seattle, WA
He and Gail also hosted several online conferences themselves, including the 9/11 Con: The Pentagon, the 9/11 Truth Film Festival, the David Ray Griffin and Kristina Borjesson memorials, and the episode premieres of 9/11: Crime Scene to Courtroom.
They created and produced the film series 9/11: Crime Scene to Courtroom, having partnered with the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry on whose board he also sits. The White Paper, written by Richard, compiled the written WTC evidence he had been speaking of for two decades and served as the basis of the final document, inspired by former Congressman Curt Welden, coordinated by Seattle Fire Captain Raul Angulo, and provided to President Trump—the Presidential Commission on 9/11.
We are delighted to bring back to AE911Truth all of that work and creative energy, and to be once again connected at the hip with both Richard and Gail, who will now both serve on the AE911Truth Board of Directors. Gail will be the new COO and will be trained by the current AE911Truth Chair, Kamal Obeid. Richard will take the helm again as CEO. Both are volunteering their time, receiving a modest stipend.
Andy Steele, who has served as the hardworking, conscientious, and creative Executive Director of AE911Truth for the last two years, has stepped down to pursue the film project adapting his epic graphic novel “Born on 9/11”! Andy has inspired us all with his energy, eloquence, and drive for the truth. His tireless work as host of the 9/11 Freefall podcast leaves a permanent legacy as the premier podcast of AE911Truth.
Kelly David has also left a lasting legacy from her behind-the-scenes, yet heroic, decade-long tenure as Chief Operating Officer of AE911Truth. Kelly will now focus on her recent and already successful career in Financial Planning—and will be devoting her considerable talent to that effort. Check out her new digs!
“We’re delighted to have Richard back with us at AE911Truth,” says current and remaining AE911Truth Board Chair Kamal Obeid, PE, Structural Engineer. “Richard has shown an unparalleled commitment to the 9/11 Truth movement with his thorough and groundbreaking presentations on the science behind the destruction of the three World Trade Center Towers. He will certainly breathe new life into AE911Truth, and I am looking forward to working with him on making that happen.”
Who are the newcomers on the AE911Truth Board of Directors joining Richard and Gail?
- Hi-Rise Architect, Richard Wallace – responsible for several high-rises in Chicago
- Hi-Rise Architect, David Mack – Hotels and airports
- Structural Engineer, Steve Dusterwald – Nuclear power plants
- Structural Engineer, Casey Pfiefer – Hospitals and office buildings
- Chemical and Explosives Engineer, Mark Lillie – Trident & Peacekeeper Missile Programs
- Civil Engineer, Jon Cole – Project Infrastructure
- Electrical/Mechanical Engineer – Dan Noel
Your new Advisory Board Members are:
- Nuclear Physicist and former Idaho Labs Sr. Engineer, Professor Steven E. Jones – published Extreme High Temperatures at the WTC
- Nano-Chemistry Professor,Niels Harrit – Active Thermitic Materials in the WTC Dust
Indeed, we are deeply honored to be affiliated with these two heavyweights in the 9/11 Truth Movement who have worked tirelessly in their respective scientific analyses of the World Trade Center dust samples to reveal the mystery of their contents and document it for all the world to see.
We will also continue to work very closely with electrical/software engineer Eli I., who will be advising the board directly on social media issues. Eli has volunteered for AE911Truth for at least a decade and a half, including serving on the board. He is responsible for the nearly 100,000 RichardGage911 “X” subscribers. There is also a strong need for YOU to join and volunteer along with us!
Richard revealed, “I was truly in a state of disbelief when Kamal Obeid and Kelly David called me on the phone in late September. They said, ‘AE911Truth needs you.’ I was absolutely speechless. I hadn’t even thought of the idea of returning to AE911Truth—and didn’t know I was needed. But I now realize that this invitation came as a natural progression after several months of recent collaboration with AE911Truth, fundraising together for a PR consultant who has scored us several dozen podcast interviews already!”
Still, it took weeks to process this invitation—and I’m still wrestling with my emotions, which are all over the place. It became more real to me when I began calling our potential new board members – my trusted friends, with whom I have worked closely and known for many years. And, one by one, they said “Yes!” with delight. I knew then that this was meant to be.”
Gail Gage shared her thoughts as well: “This is such wonderful news, and I’m so very honored to be able to support Richard again as leader of the iconic organization that he founded 20 years ago, which has awakened millions of people to the raw truth about 9/11. I’ve worked side by side with him during the last four years at RichardGage911, coordinating his interviews, managing our social media platforms, booking flights and lodging, setting up and tabling our 9/11 Truth Booth, and assisting him in any way possible while coordinating his Speaking Engagements. I also manage our RichardGage911 online store, as well as our finances. And now I can also help at AE911Truth! Of course, I’ll also be running RichardGage911 at full steam!”
Richard and Gail intend to incorporate into AE911Truth their major film series project 9/11: Crime Scene to Courtroom – The Unprecedented Film Series Taking the Hard Evidence of 9/11 Crimes to Court,” which is solely focused on getting the WTC forensic evidence and eyewitness testimony in front of a Special Grand Jury investigation.
They have produced 4 of the 12 episodes already, and the film series actually includes most of our new Board Members as expert witnesses for the Grand Jury! The project is a collaboration with the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry and features attorney Mick Harrison.
Of even greater importance to AE911Truth will be the opportunity to directly participate in the monumental effort to compile our comprehensive body of World Trade Center evidence assembled over the last two decades into a cohesive whole, comprising thousands of pages, along with the work of many other researchers in the 9/11 Truth Movement. This project was inspired by Senator Ron Johnson, who has not only been outspoken about 9/11 on popular podcasts, but who was also the Keynote Speaker at our 3-day Washington, DC conference, “Turning the Tide”!
As the Chair of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, he offered us his platform for Senate Hearings. You heard that right! This is unprecedented, and we are going to take full advantage of it at Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. Several of us have already met with him in his office and are now working directly with his staff on the project.
We must also focus on our 3,600 A/E Petition signers again. There’s a lot to accomplish with them, but the first order of business is a major project to rebuild the functionality of the “Sign the Petition” page:
Actually, there are many more now, but that page of the website has been broken for quite some time, and it can only be fixed by building a whole new program. Also, we must convert the website from Joomla to WordPress. And that’s all something you can help us with!
So, it’s a whole new ballgame here at AE911Truth – and we would love to hear your thoughts about all of this BIG NEWS. Where do YOU stand? What are YOU willing to do? Can YOU help fund our next major steps forward toward total 9/11 Truth exposure?!
We must raise the funds to convert the website and beef up our infrastructure in order to handle these changes. The goal is to reach $15,000 in the next two weeks. And trust me, it is urgent.
Can you give $10? - $100? - $1,000?
Please show us that YOU back our returning CEO, Richard Gage, and his vision, with your support. We need you now more than ever.
We will not let you down!
Your rapidly evolving and eager AE911Truth leadership

He leads the charge for a new World Trade Center investigation along with his courageous wife Gail at RichardGage911.org
Mr. Gage became interested in researching the destruction of the WTC high-rises after hearing the startling conclusions of a reluctant 9/11 researcher, David Ray Griffin, on the radio in 2006, which launched his own unyielding quest for the truth about 9/11. The organization he founded, AE911Truth, now numbers more than 3,600 architects and engineers demanding a new investigation into the destruction of all three World Trade Center high-rise buildings on 9/11.
As an architect, he has worked on most types of building construction, including numerous fire-proofed steel-framed buildings. Most recently, he worked on the construction documents for a $400M mixed-use urban project with 1.2 million square feet of retail, parking structure, and mid-rise office space — altogether about 1,200 tons of steel framing.

KAMAL OBEID, S.E.Structural Engineer"A localized failure in a steel-framed building cannot cause a catastrophic collapse like a house of cards at free-fall acceleration."
-
SCOTT GRAINGER, F.SFPEFire Protection Engineer"All three collapses were very uniform in nature. Natural collapses due to unplanned events are not uniform." -
OSWALD RENDON-HERRERO, PH.D.Forensic Engineer“Building 7 came down very smoothly. NIST tried to prove the ridiculous theory that this was started by one column.” -
RONALD BROOKMAN, S.E.Structural Engineer“After much studying, it is obvious that NIST has fallen short of a detailed accounting of the collapses of the three WTC buildings.” -
KATHY MCGRADEB.S. Metallurgical Engineering“In an office fire, you cannot generate enough heat to melt steel. And yet we have evidence of molten iron in the rubble pile.” -
DANIEL BARNUM, FAIAHigh-Rise Architect“I have known from day one that the buildings were imploded and could not have collapsed from the damage caused by the airplanes.” -
ROLAND ANGLE, P.E.Civil Engineer"The official explanation of the failures defies known scientific methods of analysis and is untenable in the face of logical investigation." -
TONY SZAMBOTIMechanical Engineer“There is little doubt that the collapses were caused by controlled demolitions and the aircraft impacts were causal ruses.” -
LESLIE YOUNG, AIAHigh-Rise Architect"The floors pancaking would create gushes of air, but not the kind of explosive force that we saw throw I-beams across the street."
Thirty Seconds of Silence
"Steel buildings do not globally collapse due to fire, and yet on 9/11, we're told that three of them came down from office fires alone in the same day."
From Architects & Engineers for 9/11Truth and filmmaker, Dylan Avery, creator of Loose Change (leading Vanity Fair to say it could be the first Internet blockbuster) comes this short documentary that is both hauntingly beautiful in its presentation and startlingly grim in its revelations.

“An epic graphic novel that brilliantly merges the human elements of this tragedy with the overlooked evidence that contradicts the story we have been told for the past 20 years.” — Rosie O’Donnell
“The story of a late teen's quest to learn what had happened on that fateful day to cause the death of his firefighter father is spell-binding.”
