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.

My aunt, Dale Sztejnberg, was working in the upper floors of the WTC tower on the morning of 9/11. She was killed in the explosion. My family came to the US from the Soviet Union in the 1960s and 70s, leaving a country built on lies top to bottom, for one we knew was built on truth and justice. It's horrifying to deal with the death of a family member, along with the deaths of thousands of other innocent people, at the hands of our new homeland. I need to know who destroyed these buildings. I demand an investigation.

I was born in Culver City California, in 1954. I earned a B.A. in English Literature from Loyola Marymount University, in 1976. Since that time I have worked in various capacities, mostly in the arts. For the past 2 years I have worked with Dr. David Ray Griffin and other committed 9/11 truth activists to create the organization: Actors & Artists for 9/11 Truth. (AA911).
On the morning of September 11, 2001, I was stunned. Like millions of concerned world citizens, I stared in horror as the shocking devastation of the tragic events unfolded on television. Still, a few disturbing questions almost immediately haunted me. 1. I could not understand how a handful of terrorists armed with crude hand tools could possibly outwit the most elaborate defense apparatus in world history. 2. Recalling the immediate response, when professional golfer Payne Stewart's small private jet veered off course years ago, it seemed highly implausible that four hijacked commercial jetliners would fly unhindered through U.S airspace for a considerable time period without one of them being intercepted. 3. The strangely symmetrical and uniform collapse of the two twin towers did not correspond with ANYTHING in my experience. The only comparison I could draw was to special effects in Hollywood action films. For a few weeks, I mourned and closely followed accounts of the events, as explained by pundits on mainstream media. All the while, I resisted the darkly unthinkable conspiratorial scenarios taking vague shape in my mind. One day, I finally googled up 9/11 to explore the alternative views. My skin crawled at the volume of information which confirmed my darkest suspicions. Thus began my decade long odyssey as a 9/11 truth activist.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Lehigh University in 1981. In the intervening years I worked at a variety of jobs, the most applicable being the 12 years when I did instrumentation & controls and then mechanical design engineering for a variety of industries. I have a typical plodding but thorough and mechanistic and engineering approach to any subject I approach.
I felt indignation when I first heard that people were questioning the official version of 9-11 events. It took several years for it to filter through to me that building 7 fell at free fall speeds 7+ hours after the towers. I've perused the NIST report dated 2008. I do understand the elaborate chain of events described therein and they sound very unlikely. I've heard some expert testimony questioning many of the premises and details NIST used to construct their report. I'm convinced the NIST report is unsatisfactory and that we owe it to the victims, their families and to ourselves to continue investigating. The bad guys are still out there. Their monumental arrogance and sociopathic mentality will continue to surface if we don't.

I witnessed the twin towers go down... and was on a cell phone at the time describing the events to my wife. I was shocked (and remarked to her) that it seemed as if the buildings simply dropped out from under the burning areas where the planes hit. It made absolutely no sense to me at the time. I remember the second tower in particular; there was a tremendous explosion-- and the top of the building appeared to actually rise and then fall at an angle. Looking back now on the events of that day... and taking into account the considerable evidence available on 9/11: Blueprint for truth indicating a controlled demolition, the collapse that never made sense to me previously, now makes perfect sense. No doubt whatsoever in my mind that these buildings (all three) were deliberately brought down.

Two words: Building Seven. When adding up all of the evidence, it appears that we have been misled by our government. Even worse, are those in government who choose to look away when the 911 issue is brought up. Even Obama says we need to look ahead instead of looking back at 911. 911 was the biggest single event in the living history of everyone alive on this planet. This is not an event that should be pushed aside in favor of looking forward. It's not a coincidence that George W. Bush pardoned himself and his administration from 9/11/01 forward. The guilty need to be held accountable for these horrendous crimes so that we can all heal and FINALLY move forward in a quest for WORLD PEACE.

"I am a high school dropout. But I am no dummy. I know when I am being told a ridiculous story and I recognize the truth when I see it. I have been a 9/11 ""truther"" since 9/11."
While I have always felt that the AE9/11Truth findings were correct, I finally spent some time looking into alternative theories and none hold up like the common sense one presented here. I may not be a physicist but when metal requires a certain temperature to become molten and and fuel is not able to reach those temperatures, when there is very little fuel to burn, when I can see the little puffs of exploding charges out the sides of the building just barely ahead of the collapsing debris above it ... well, even I can clearly see the truth.

I don't have much of an education, but I do have a good understanding of physics and chemistry as I took advanced classes in both courses. Definitely not an expert, but the story given by the government just doesn't sit well with me, and hasn't even before I heard of this 'conspiracy'
I was young when 9/11 happened. I remember sitting in my 6th grade class watching it live on TV. Since then it has never set well with me, watching it live and watching everyone around you go absolutely psycho because of an attack on America, it was just bad... I couldn't ignore the fact that almost everyone on that single day had mentioned explosions in the lower levels and just kept comparing the buildings to the controlled demolition. You can't really ignore that, and when all these theories came to light I just can't accept the government's position on the matter. Too many doubts from too many people, I'm not going to place blame but we really need an independent investigation on the matter. The reluctance of the government's cooperation for one is just another reason for doubt in this case.

I have always been suspicious that there is a lot more to learn as to what actually happened on 911. We all know that it is impossible that the two towers and building 7 could have come down by fires. It is clear they came down due to expert demolition and there was a massive cover up because a real investigation was prevented. I also believe that the news media must be held accountable for their unwillingness to expose what really happened.

In the late 90's I transferred into Cal Poly civil engineering and switched to social science during the 9/11 whitewash process as a senior. Was a member of SCE and attended the pancake theory meetings the club had with the paid for scientists on tour. Later I went on to study in the history masters program before being targeted by Frankfurt School of thought corporate insiders, despite having a 3.4 average and only two seminars to go I was barred from registration for political reasons.
We all know who pushed the fake pancake theory. And recent events have proven controls of our institutions have been compromised in the name of profit and outright thievery practices. The ones receiving the criminal government largesse are feeding at the trough and should be exposed as outright traitors working for quislings in the nest that prefer profit making wars over law and order. That is all 9/11 was ever about. As was the Reichstag Fire.

All documented forensic evidence provided by 9/11Truth confirms without a doubt in my mind 9/11 did not happen as explained by our government. The evidence offered by 9/11Truth totally diminishes what our government has offered as evidence and substantiates 9/11Truth's thesis. What we witness in the Middle East today is the results of this criminal atrocity.

It's plainly obvious to the unconditioned, critically thinking citizen that much was wrong with the way the WTC Towers and Building 7 were destroyed. I think it was a controlled demolition and that the buildings' destruction was a false flag attack meant to usher in the draconian laws, endless warfare and general government overreach that have been upheld by the Bush and Obama Administrations.
