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.

I believe the tragic events and obsurd lies thereafter of these events have supported both the spread of oligarchian government and inversely, a movement to reform the entire corrupt system we now find ourselves in. This is the chance to make real change for our country and the world; people are awakening to the fact that an entire civilization built on the principle of profit (capitalism) has no reason to do what is in the best interest of its people. The republic died the second those planes hit the WTC.

I am a registered architect in MA. I enjoy designing small buildings best, and do both residential and commercial design.
The official reports of this incident are implausible and some simple fact finding insinuates an ensuing cover up. 10,000# of jet fuel incinerates millions of cubic yards of reinforced concrete? And just like that, 3 buildings collapse 'against a path of greatest resistance.' - - It was difficult to witness, impossible to imagine and warrants greater explanation.

I saw Dr. Stephen Jones on CSPAN with my husband a few years ago, and since that time we have been convinced of the treasonous government conspiracy on 9/11/2001. I am also convinced that the Architects and Engineers, just the facts mam, approach is the best. We need first to establish the scientific truth about the events, then go after the culprits.

I am not a scientist, I am a visual artist and as such, I pay attention to details. As an avid student of Socrates and Descarte, I have knack for detecting lies and disinformation.
I believe it was a classic false-flag operation. The buildings came down remarkably neat, which indicates a controlled demolition. I agree with Steve Jones' assessment that themite was used to undermine the structural integrity of WTC 1 and 2. Building 7 was obvious (note the crimp that is glaringly evident in the slow motion footage of the building being pulled). Also it is obvious that the powers that be removed evidence. My simple question is, who stands to gain?

I cannot be too technical here but I have seen many videos on the subject and I have listened to the debates on youtube with Popular Mechanics and the producers of Loose Change. Initially I resisted the idea that there was a controlled demolition but the films and literature illustrate the truth to the layman.

I grew up in NYC. Although I had good opportunities in my youth I dropped out of high school and have not had much success in life. Although I have lived in poverty here for the last 20 years in Western MA, I've still had good times and friends and fond memories as well, just as I did in the city I was born in. I am a recent father, though this is not in the best circumstances. I am yet joyful of my daughter and endeavor to help her, and her mother who is estranged from me, as best as I can.
It is clear that the towers did not fall because aircraft struck them. The story we were TOLD was something I had no reason to doubt and believed completely until I saw Loose Change years ago. I believe the controlled demolition evidence presented here on A&E Truth, and in other forums. I am fearful for my country and this world because of what it means. My politics are left leaning and probably I focus on them too much. I have been this way long before this thing about 911 came to my attention. I have watched my values swept away since that day. But my heroes like Noam Chompski and Amy Goodman are now with feet of clay, now that I've learned this stuff. I still have to go back and look at the facts you have presented here because the world just don't care and I start to wonder if I'm sure. No one knows for sure. But I know we need another official investigation. The only way we are going to get one is with the little people seeing the truth. And though that takes time it does eventually start to grow exponentially.

From the moment I witnessed the collapse I have always suspected controlled demolition. All the attempted explanations to the contrary from the government and such private conspiracy busters as the Popular Mechanics report seem to melt into irrelevance in the face of my own eye witness viewing (through TV) of the initial events, followed by increasing mountains of corroborating evidence to my own assessment of expert testimony of numerous professionals in the field of science and engineering.

On 9/11 I came home from work just in time to see building 7 come down. I was confused why this would happen but right away the media said it was due to the damage from the towers and uncontrolled fires all day long so I was OK with that and even forgot about building 7 for two years. A friend of mine borrowed me a 9/11 d.v.d. which made me revisit building 7 without the shock factor this time and to me the evidence points to a controlled demolition. Why the 9/11 commission report says nothing about building 7 at all is beyond me. We need a real investigation into 9/11 front to back.

I believe that it is unconstitutional to in any way restrict or discard hard evidence regarding the events of 9/11 or of any other un-resolved/explained event that occurs in this or any country. By allowing this moment in history to pass un-examined, we cheat ourselves and the world from the right to live in a transparent and rational society.

I am a meditation teacher. I have worked on meditation and yoga centers i several European countries.
I was first confronted with this back in 2004. At first I rejected it. Having digested the information, the conclusion that the official story does not at all hold became inevitable. Today in October 2009 the evidence is overwhelming. And you do not have to be a rocket scientist to reach this conclusion, common sense is enough. As a meditation teacher, working with the nature of mind, it is interesting to me to note how most of us fell for the story media gave us without an ounce of reflection.

I am a principal in a small, multi-disciplined corporation. My ancestors were amongst those who helped build this nation. I have studied extensively, all aspects of the events of both 9/11 and (the three bombs in) the Oklahoma City Bombing, the destructive origins of which appear to be inextricably intertwined. http://64.131.67.10/vbbs/showthread.php?p=1314702
The NIST report, fallacious from the very outset, has been throughly discredited, by professional architects and engineers, by pilots, by the scientists who identified the presence of explosive nano-thermites in the dust of WTC (and in the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City). By first responders and survivors who reported hearing and experiencing explosions in WTC and the Pentagon before the planes even hit. By government whistle blowers like Morgan Reynolds, former Chief Economist, U.S. Dept of Labor, who was also brave enough to speak out and demand TRUTH. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0k4B6C60an0&feature=related I add my voice to those who demand a re-opening of the investigations of the False Flag bombing of the Oklahoma City Murrah Building, which secured passage of the Patriot Act, and the re-opening of the investigation of the False Flag bombings of WTC 1, WTC2, WTC7 and the Pentagon, which provided pretext for a baseless, never-ending war.

I appreciate independent reporting and investigation. It is by far the most reliable source of information on controversial issues of our time.
The official story of the Tower's collapse violates the laws of physics. It is impossible for a gravitational collapse to pulverize the concrete of these buildings. The pyroclastic clouds of debris traveling at 30+ MPH cannot happen without an additional source of heat.

I have no technical expertise, however I have been convinced for years now that this obvious inside job has been the impetus and propagandized provocation for the unconstitutional entry into two wars, the collapse of our economy, and the deliberate theft of liberty by subverting the Constitution. In my opinion, it does not take a doctorate or a degree in physics to understand the motive and opportunity established to create a false and contrived crisis that is being used to incrementally rob us of our sovereignty.
I do not believe that any expertise is needed to have a firm grasp on the basic reasoning and logic needed to comprehend such a deliberate, obvious, treasonous, and shameful attack on us by our own countrymen.

Even though I have no formal education in science or physics, I've had a personal interest in these subject matters for a long time, since they're all around us. I could be called self educated in many subjects, scientific and otherwise, physics being one of them. I have a long time interest in the USA and thoroughly studied it's history because of the major role in world history it played, especially over the last 60 years.
Aside from the fact that the buildings fell at nearly free fall speed, what baffled me the most were two things. If this was a collapse, how can a metal frame piece, the weight of two airplanes, be ejected from one of the the towers during the collapse to end up buried in the side of the American Express building almost 400 feet away? The second one is how it's possible that some 700 human bone fragments ended up on the roof of the Deutsche Bank building? How were these bones fragmented if it was a collapse?

I have no technical education or professional experience in this field, I simply seek the truth.
There is no evidence to suggest that the towers came down by fire and pancake or catastrophic collapse, and there is compelling evidence that both the twin towers and building 7 came down via controlled demolition. How can a reasonable person outright dismiss all of this evidence? I absolutely advocate skepticism, It's healthy. But also be skeptical of the official story. Review the evidence and come to your own conclusion.

I wish more and more witnesses of that demolition step out and start talking. I bet there is still lot more people who know something but doesn't have a courage to speak aloud. I mean WTC staff members, maybe they have seen something/somebody strange in the buildings. Of course it would be the best if one of those involved in planting explosives start talking. In such an operation must have been involved dozens of people. We must understand that they are human beings. They are quiet for a reason - fear. I believe that sooner or later some of them will start confessing.
