The AE911Truth Petition
To the Members of the House of Representatives and of the Senate of the United States of America,
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT:
On Behalf of the People of the United States of America, the undersigned Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth and affiliates hereby petition for, and demand, a truly independent investigation with subpoena power in order to uncover the full truth surrounding the events of 9/11/01 – specifically the collapses of the World Trade Center Towers and Building 7. We believe there is sufficient doubt about the official story and therefore the 9/11 investigation must be re-opened and must include a full inquiry into the possible use of explosives that might have been the actual cause of the destruction of the World Trade Center Twin Towers and Building 7.

9/11 is amazing, when I heard through CNN that America under attack, instantly my gut feeling said that it is an inside as my knowledge of buildings said that the airplanes had nothing to do with the pattern of collapse. It was a planned demolition. My subsequent knowledge testified and further corroborated other scientific evidence and as presented by Gage. I have no doubt that is an inside operation.

I spent the afternoon of 9/10/2001 at the Reagan Presidential Library in Pasadena, CA and flew on a red eye flight back home. We landed at the Hartford, CT airport at 9:00 AM that fatal morning and I listened to the entire ordeal unfold on the radio on the drive home. It was clear to me that the world had changed forever. In 2010, I learned about the third tower and watched it free fall in horror. Truth must prevail over evil.

9/11 is a very small but very public part of a huge picture that's been going on since your country signed over its power to the Federal Reserve in 1913.Pearl Harbor was known about and allowed to happen,the Oklahoma truck bomber was an identical if not smaller forerunner to 9/11,and identical after effects, I'd recommend you check out 9/11, globalization and total war a talk given by Michel Chossudovsky on brasschecktv.com or the film improbable collapse directed by Michael Berger and then start looking at who and why questions,just for starters the CIA invented Al Qaueda and work hand in hand with them, the head of the Islamic terrorist network was having meeting in your own white house with Ms Rice over the 9/11 period, Bin Laden was laid in a hospital bed in the middle of a CIA hot spot over the 9/11 period.Then start looking at how many companies have made billions out it, security companies in Iraq and Afghanistan,rebuilding Iraq,building huge military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Patriot Act and who gains from that,your privately owned Federal Reserve where all the moneys coming from,the oil contracts and new oil pipelines,UK/USA now control over 36% of the worlds oil,it simply goes on and on and on,no-ones going to investigate it, there is too much blackmail money on offer and if anyone did get a backbone and wouldn't get impeded at every turn to look into it, would simply turn up dead.

Bankers and oil men were behind it. Everyone knows it or suspects it, that is why NIST says the money trail is not important, but it is important, probably the most important evidence of all.

I completed a Bachelor of Building, Construction Management Degree at UTS in 2001 and have been working in the Construction industry since 1996 for top tier construction companies. I've worked in various roles on site on projects up to $60 Million in Project Manager positions. In 2007 I founded Next Constructions and I'm the Managing Director. We deliver Fitout,Refurbishment & Construction projects ranging from $1M to $20Million in value.
I remember seeing the planes fly into the buildings on the news when it happened and then the buildings falling and I had so many questions as I knew it was not possible for planes alone to have caused the buildings to collapse like the media represented. At the time I thought they would investigate it and later reveal explosives were found in the building but instead the focus changed to the 'weapons of mass destruction' and the need for a war in Afghanistan and Iraq. I've followed this story since it happened and I'm committed to the victims, their families and mankind to have the truth of what happened on 911 to be told so that such an atrocity will not be repeated ever again.

I have studied all of the available evidence on the internet and read various books on the subject. I have been particularly impressed by the calibre of people who have been brave enough to speak out against the official story. I can only come to the conclusion that some kind of controlled demolition was used to destroy all three skyscrapers on 9/11. Therefore there needs to be a new investigation, as the absence of controlled demolition as a serious hypothesis in the original one indicates a coverup on grand scale.

The evidence leads to it being highly unlikely that the planes could even fly at the supposed speed and that the building would collapse from anything other than a controlled explosion or demolition.

I read copiously. I attended an excellent liberal arts college in New England. I've taken in quite a bit of information 9/11. This was an inside job.
When I watched the buildings collapse live on TV, I knew they were brought down by controlled demolition. The science behind the 9/11 tragedy clearly backs it up. Only cognitive dissonance and criminal negligence stand between the citizens of the world and the truth behind the biggest cover-up since JFK.

I'm an American citizen aged 63 who is concerned by the misinformation/disinformation published by my government in hiding the truth about what happened on 9/11. I was formerly an RN working in ICU's, ER's and OR's. I was trained in the scientific method and to use my head in rational critical thinking.
I don't believe the NIST report is accurate in any way, or that the material frequently seen in the media portrays accurately what happened on 9/11 and that building structures, built to withstand hits from an airplane, could suddenly collapse and collapse in the manner the news footage shows.

History of studying science, math, engineering. Capricious tendencies beget a lack of degree acquisition. Does not defile my validity as a concerned rational human being. I know the Official Report is a fabrication. I seek true justice for my fellow Earthlings, and I seek to put the culprits of this heinous act behind bars for good. Amen
Free-fall of three massive skyscrapers does not occur when two airplanes hit the top of two of the buildings. The official story is obviously a fabrication. The true perpetrators of the act must be held accountable and, we must heal as a people of earth as a result.

The official report is totally improbable and based on all the alternative evidence supplied it can only leave anyone looking at it with one outcome. This was instigated by The United States Government. The atrocities caused on 9/11 have scarred the world. This needs to be looked at thoroughly and independently without any bias to either side. There is simply too much overwhelming information and testimonies to ignore here.

It took me less than a minute to make my first opinion of what happened. I worked in a car body shop to pay my undergraduate education. For about a year I perform enough oxyacetylene soldering to know that you need more that this oxygen starved fuel fire to weaken the massive steel structure of those buildings. Then it happened: a perfectly symmetric collapse of the first tower. I still remember my first worlds: 'No way, they won't make me believe this.' I am amazed that this monumental deception has gone so far without any serious questioning from any important media institution. We need a serious investigation no only on behalf of the thousands who were killed that day in the Towers but also the hundreds of thousands who have been killed, jailed, tortured, handicapped all over the world, especially in the Middle East, every single day since 9-11 in the name of this 'War on Terrorism'. We want to know who the terrorists were.

TIME FOR THE TRUTH.9/11 was designed to allow America and there so called allies to plunder and murder their way through other people's countries without the outcry from the general public.Controlled demolition on all 3 skyscrapers. Keep up the good work.
