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.

Having watched the 'attack' on live television at 4:30 in the afternoon in central Europe, what was shown to the rest of the world leaves it clear in my mind why a distaste for Americans has developed the world over. My main fear about 9/11 is the amount of secrecy that enveloped 'ground zero.' By not allowing independent investigators access to the site seems awfully convenient. Another 'convenience' occurred when building 7, holding valuable CIA and DoD information, collapsed as neatly as the Twin Towers without having been directly damaged. The ever-growing list of questions concerning the events that September morning MUST be investigated if we are to accept the fate of a war justified by such an act.

I call on all my peers to understand and then expose the myths of the Official Story through the sound application of the natural laws that are the basis of our education and subsequent life's work. It is tragic but necessary that as engineers and architects this task looms large as our most important - and urgently needed - contribution.

The Canadian Action Party is the only Federally Chartered Political Party in the world who has written into its constitution the necessity for a Royal Inquiry into the events of 9/11. No civil government will be serviceable and effective unless the citizenry possess and use wise techniques of guiding and controlling officeholders and public servants. The survival of democracy is dependent on successful representative government; and that is conditioned upon the practice of electing to public offices only those individuals who are technically trained, intellectually competent, socially loyal, and morally fit. Only by such provisions can government of the people, by the people, and for the people be preserved. When crimes at the scale committed on 9-11 go unpunished then has Justice and the rule of law been undone by those in power. Justice is to nation life what faith is to religion.

What can I say? One has only to look at the collapse of Building 7 to dispel all doubt that the official story is a lie. Futhermore, it is impossible that 3 buildings should collapse at free fall into their own footprint within brief hours of each other where no high rise has ever come down in this manner before and where other fires burned much hotter and much longer.

You don't have to dig too far - just simply look at what you can see and you'll end up with lots of questions about what we were told. You'll also find out that you're not alone with those questions and you'll also find answers which fit exactly to what you saw and heard but which will lead you to a quite contrary result as you might have thought in the first place. The official story is as believable as any action movie you might want to watch - maybe plausible at first sight but when you start asking if that's really possible you end up with a no. You'll just come to this understanding by accepting nothing more than bare facts you can prove for yourself in most cases. No beliefs, no rumors, no theories - just simple facts...

It is obvious to a steadily increasing percentage of the population, particularly within the scientific community, that the Twin Towers, and absolutely WTC Building 7, were all brought down by controlled demolition. The evidence is absolutely overwhelming if you simply take the time to look into it - steel simply does not behave this way. The airplanes were used as a distraction to trick the public into thinking that 9/11 was a terrorist attack by Islamic Extremists. In fact, it was a staged operation, planned and executed for entirely different purposes- not the least of which were to initiate a highly profitable War onTerror, and to rid lower Manhattan of inefficient and unprofitable real estate. And this is only the tip of the iceberg in a long list of evidence disproving the official 9/11 account.

The towers were both wrapped in a massive steel grid. Both had 47 massive interlocked columns the entire height of their core. Every floor was built with steel. We are being told by the 'official' story that all that steel snapped simultaneously, floor by floor, 110 floors in 10 seconds. Try clapping your hands 110 times in 10 seconds. You'd be lucky to make it up to 50. Did you see 110 floors stacked on top of each other after the towers disintegrated? No, you saw powder, several inches thick, spread out over 75 acres. Then we get to Building 7, a controlled demolition so obvious, the media refuses to even mention it. Thank you Richard Gage AIA, and Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth.

I don't understand how two airplanes can crash into two buildings designed to sustain airplane crashes, in two separate places and times and how that causes three buildings to fall in a way that expert demolition teams have to spend weeks preparing and have computers precisely detonate the explosives so the building doesn't topple over. If NIST is correct, they should be able to bring down a building using their new theory. The one that suggests that all engineers need to be reeducated on building safety and design. If they can, they will definitely sway my mind, but I don't think they can or will.

But, because of the link with the USA through my work at Ford Motor Company, I was talked about 9/11 about two years ago. So from that moment on I was intrigued by the whole story. Living in Belgium, it was very hard, besides internet, to get some info about the collapses of the twin towers and surely about WTC 7. I read about WTC 7 about a year ago and I was shocked.

I have been watching the M.O. of this criminal quasi-government for years, and I know that if this rogue element is not stopped, and stopped NOW, our beloved Republic is dead. And much to the delight of this current and entering administration, and at the expense of the world population. I am not an architect, nor am I an engineer, but one does not have to be to realize that the events of 9/11 were orchestrated by an element inside the Bush administration.
There is well beyond enough evidence in the public knowledge to bring indictments against every member of the Bush administration for war crimes and treason, not only against the United States of America but the world as a whole. This must be expedited immediately before they do more against humanity than what has already been done. I used to be proud to call myself an American. Now, due to the past 4 administrations, it is my shame. THIS MUST BE STOPPED, AND THOSE FOUND GUILTY MUST BE BROUGHT TO THE WORLD FOR PUBLIC JUSTICE. NOW!

After recovering from the shock of seeing the Twin Towers collapse, on subsequent showings, I developed a strong feeling that what I was seeing and what I was being told were quite different things. For two such buildings to collapse, in the manner they did, solely because they had been hit by large aircraft, did not make sense. The collapses were too uniform. If aircraft impacts were the cause, at least one of the buildings should have fallen over. I subsequently made a video called WTC7 -- This is an Orange to express my concern that the public was not being told the truth about 9/11.

I am a concerned citizen, who is unable to resolve the anomalies of the official truth of 9-11 with what I observed happening on that day. I am not a professional architect, but nothing of the truth about airliners hitting the buildings and destroying them makes sense to me.
I was raised in the Chicago Suburbs, and in the western suburb of Villa Park was the Ovaltine Factory (OK, I can only *hope* that you remember Ovaltine from your childhood, a malted-milk additive to milk that made your glass of milk taste like a malted-milk ball). In any case, the Ovaltine factory was closed long ago, the area built up with condos, and the one lone remaining vestige of the factory that bustled throughout the 1960's was the smokestack. Fearful that the stack might collapse onto nearby residences, it was brought down with CONTROLLED DEMOLITION, see the video here: http://tinyurl.com/5e6d7u ... now if THAT isn't proof, I will eat my depends :=))

I have no specific technical education or experience, no more than the regular physics and chemistry classes of a regular Belgian high school. I then went on to study law at the Brussels' university (VUB) and am now working as a lawyer at the Brussels' bar since 2002. I have always considered myself, and my friends and family have confirmed this (and still do), to be a very rational person, with a critical and even a skeptical mind, which has been reinforced by my studies and my professional experience as a lawyer.
Up until a few days ago, I had never doubted the 'official' version of 9/11. It is the video of David Ray Griffin that opened my eyes. He explains the various aspects in a way that is very familiar to me as a lawyer (facts, proof,...), so that - if you think rationally about it - you simply can no longer accept the 'official' version because it goes against all laws (of physics and other). I went to Richard Gage's conference in Belgium where I heard even more anomalies as to the official version. The fact that this changes your view of life, of what men are capable of, of the world entirely, made me sign the petition. 9/11 was indeed huge, but not for the reasons most people think. People have the right to know the truth.

I think the building was not totaled by the plane because I have seen footage that looks like there are explosions like a controlled demolition. Plus I have heard many testimonies that show the explosions heard and the witnessing of the buildings collapsing were not possible to be caused by a fire. I have read that it is not possible for a building to fall like that from fire. Plus people were standing in the holes where the planes went in and they were not burning up so that means it could not be that hot. The evidence is overwhelming and there is definitely a cover up happening.
