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.

The most important issue confronting the United States citizen is the courage to demand the Truth, and not to be satisfied until an independent, objective, through and complete investigation is conducted into the collapse of the Twin Towers as well as Building#7, and also the attack on the Pentagon, and the overall events of the entire day on 9/11. The investigating committee must be well funded with subpoena powers. No one is above these subpoena powers, and Contempt charges must be lodged against anyone not obeying the subpoena. The hearings should be broadcast across the country, around the world every day until they are concluded. The findings will be made public and law enforcement will be expected to continue any further investigation if necessary and to indict anyone suspected of being involved in this national tragedy. The government explanation of the events that day are fantastic and unbelievable. The major media, free press has for the most part disgraced itself. Buildings don't collapse at free fall speeds unless the bottom structure is blown out. Nanothermite is not a natural ingredient found in Manhattan soil. Airplane fuel does not melt steel. Steel structured buildings do not fall from fires. Paper passports do not fair better than steel and concrete. Concrete does not become a powder from collapsing. Buildings do not collapse on their own.

I cannot possibly accept the results of the official investigations of the collapse of several World Trade Center buildings on 9/11. The only credible cause of the collapse of the two towers and Building 7 is intentional demolition by preset explosive charges. This must have been done with the knowledge of some US government agency or agencies. The question is how high up the chain of command responsibility extends.

Originally earned an Associate Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from RMIT in Melbourne. Then worked for 7 years at Alcoa of Australia, Geelong, starting as a Plant mechanical Engineer and finishing as the senior Mechanical Engineer for the rolling mill. Married my first wife Jan 1976. Then completed a Degree in Agricultural Engineering over 2 years at the university of Melbourne. For the next five years grew crops and wool and fat lambs on a 4500 acre property north west of Sealake, and did research for University of Melbourne into energy conservation and solar energy in agriculture, plus agricultural engineering consultancy for large properties as far north as Queensland. After the 1982 104 mm drought leased the property and for three years was a senior lecturer in Agricultural Engineering at Marcus Olham Farm management College. Then 7.5 years with VicRoads starting as a principal research officer and moving to a Group Manager than Manager of Road Safety Research and Investigations. Then worked for 4 years at Technical Manager Land (Road and Rail) Transport for BHP Transport including work across Australia, in Indonesia, Peru and USA. Then a year at Roaduser International, a small international road transport research and consulting business. Finally set up my own consultancy John Lambert & Associates P/L. About 60% expert witness reports for legal or potential legal cases related to injury or death or damage associated with materials handling, forklifts, road transport, heavy vehicles, railways, or Agriculture. Around 30% expert engineering advice to road and rail transport related to loading, restraining loads and unloading etc.
I was an observer on TV from near the start. I knew the WT Towers were the tallest steel buildings in the world and that they had no concrete central lift towers. And in order to get to that height all the steel members were load sharing to high levels, and fire protection to steel weight minimized. I reasoned it was possible the initial explosion/ impact had blown the fire protection of a lot of steel members, and that the fire had then caused the steel to heat up over time until it was weakened to the degree that a floor level failed - outside steel members being thrown outwards - and the impact of the top of the tower dropping caused the next floor to fail and so on. However when the WTC Report came out I became aware of the failure of WTC7 and that raised a lot of queries for me especially as there was no plane impact or plane fuel fire. As a result I eventually became aware of AE911Truth and joined.

I Have a diploma and Master in Architecture from the Mackintosch School of Architecture in Glasgow. I worked in Scotland and Germany in various smaller practices before changing careers to Music. One of the projects I planned was a 30 Million Radisson Hotel. I remain however interested in design and Architectural ideas as well as world politics.
The temperatures seem to decide it. The prospect of taking American politics to court is a daunting one, but when one considers the recent world finacial crisis, and the unaccountability of the international banking system, I am not really that surprised. In the end it is centralised power systems that are to blame. Somehow we have to start educating against this before we all suffer like the victims of 9/11.

I received a Master's Degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Southern California in 1981. The Environmental Engineering Program was part of the Department of Civil Engineering, with an emphasis on water and waste water treatment. I have over 20 years of experience working as an environmental professional, providing compliance support to companies on the following topics: air quality, hazardous materials/risk management, solid & hazardous waste management, storm water program requirements, waste water permitting, underground and above ground storage tanks, oil pollution prevention, PCBs, and asbestos.
I first became aware that the official government story regarding the building collapses was suspect after attending the 911-Inquiry Conference in San Francisco in March 2004. Since that time, I have been part of the 9-11 Truth Community, and have kept abreast of the developments arising from the ongoing research efforts of a number of dedicated individuals. In particular, watching video footage of the building collapses, hearing the numerous eye-witness accounts of explosions prior to the buildings collapsing, and learning that molten steel was present in the building debris (which, due to the laws of physics, could not possibly have arisen from a hydrocarbon fire--even under ideal circumstances--given the significantly higher melting temperature of steel), lead me to believe that the official story is simply not plausible. Learning more recently that evidence of nano-thermite was discovered in a sample of the building material, was particularly disturbing and I believe strongly that we need to push for a new investigation into the events of 9-11.

Bldg. 7 has so many unanswered questions. Nanothermite residue and unexploded nanothermite in the rubble points to a demolition approach, but by who? The British TV saying that Bldg. 7 had fallen 22 min. before it actually fell... very suspicious.

After an honorable discharge from the US Air Force I attended college in a Mechanical Engineering Degree program. I decided to leave the program at Northeastern University Boston after the first semester of my Junior year for personal family reasons. I began working in the building trades. I worked in the trades for 10 years then switched career to join Digital Equipment Corporate as a software developer. After 15/years working in high tech I left to start my own small business as an independent store owner of a Specialty Coffee House. Sold that business after 21 years of successful operation. I am now retired and have always been extremely concerned about having the truth about 9/11 brought to light.
On 9/11 I was operating my small business as a Specialty Coffee Shop operator when a customer asked if I had a TV on the premises. I said yes and immediately turned it on to see the first tower after it had been struck. I watched the broadcasts the entire time. After watching the 2 towers collapse, in basically their own footprint, I couldn't help relating what I had witnessed to Las Vegas hotels being brought down in a controlled type demolition. How could two 110 story buildings come straight down so quickly. I had followed the magnificent project of construction on the towers. I had saved The NY Times supplement on the construction used of the two towers. The center core of both buildings being constructed with huge steel girders. Then the engineering statements that the towers could withstand the impact of not one but two 747 aircrafts crashing into a tower at 500 miles per hour. The icing on the cake was watching building Seven come down at 5:20 pm that day which my eyes and gut told me was definitely a controlled demolition of that building. Especially knowing that NO aircraft had struck that building and that the building had only been struck with flying debris from the 2 towers which supposedly caused some fires in the lower right section of the building. I have the recording done by the two French brothers who happened to be in NY City doing a story on the fire department. One of them was actually filming inside the second tower as it collapsed. He interviewed firefighters who said they heard numerous explosions prior to the tower collapsing on them. I never believed the findings of the 9/11 Commission. The truth needs to see light of day on what really happened on 9/11/2001...

If we could get the truth acknowledged about 9/11 by the public we might be able to get the same sleeping public aware of the covid story details. Seems a continuation of the rights grab by those guilty of 9/11. They sold a lie so easily then and seemingly even easier now. Thank you for the opportunity to speak. Keep the faith!

"Having researched and viewed the World Trade Center 9/11 incident from many points of view, and reading Michael Ruppert's book ""Crossing the Rubicon"", I conclude that it's imperative that the 9/11 Commission be reopened. The evidence leads me to the conclusion that many others were involved in this disaster. So many questions linger e.g. Donald Rumsfeld announcing that trillions of dollars were missing and unaccounted for by the Defense budget the day before 9/11, the disappearance of bullion from the World Trade Center Basement, the changing date for the NORAD simulation of and attack, Dick Cheney taking control of NORAD before and during the attack etc. goes on and on. We need answers."

I graduated with a BA degree in English from Yale University in 1966. I served as an officer in the USMC, including one tour in Vietnam. I served as a Foreign Service Officer in Washington, DC, and in the US Embassy in Lagos, Nigeria until 1975. For the rest of my career, I worked in international business development and proposals, including for Brown & Root during Dick Cheney's chairmanship. In later years, the scope of my work was in Technical Writing, principally in the technical and power fields.
What I have learned in the years since the attack on the World Trade Center has not aligned with the official stories of what occurred and by whom it was perpetrated. In particular, the destruction of Building 7 seems to me obviously not caused by the same means as the towers. It's destruction resembles far too closely a deliberate destruction by use of carefully placed explosive charges.

Helped manage construction projects for the US Army Corps of Engineers, served as Armor officer during the Persian Gulf War, and oversaw construction projects as a civilian.
This was an obvious setup, with as much planning of the PR campaign, as it took to demolish these buildings so professionally. These buildings went down almost in textbook demolition fashion. The lives lost since then, and the human capital and treasure squandered in the unnecessary wars that followed is unconscionable. I would love to know the real reason for this.
