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.

Occupation: Philosophy
I am college philosophy professor and long time member of 9/11 Truth Seattle. My specialty is the nature of religion, in particular as understood in cognitive terms. So I look at the human brain and the functions religion appears to serve. My conclusion is that religion (generically understood) is the brain's operating system. I did my PhD at Claremont and came to the 9/11 Truth Movement through reading Griffin's New Pearl Harbor. Since I knew him I knew that I had to take the book seriously. Since then I have been active, lectured, help produce events and written on 9/11. I have always been politically active. It is just the profound moral dimension of what 9/11 Truth is about demands a response -- or so I have argued in print. But it is true, I am a 9/11 activist against my will because I feel morally compelled to do something about the monstrous evil imperial America does.
I still can't figure out how any person who gives this any thought at all doesn't see that there big questions and, with investigation, disturbing answers.

The appearance of the collapses and the lack of sufficient momentum to cause the rapid global collapse seen below the points of impact of Towers 1 and 2, imply that some type of planned demolition took place in those buildings. The collapse of WTC 7 was clearly a planned demolition.

The official investigation's conclusions and methodology are in conflict with the evidence available. The way that the event was exploited for various ends reminds me of Operation Northwoods.

I graduated from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics in architectural engineering. After spending three years at international architectural offices I became a founding member and a lead designer of sporaarchitects, a Budapest based architectural design studio, whose works are regularly published in the local and international media. I also worked as a lecturer at the Department of Design of BME. Among other architects, urbanists, artists and non-professional I founded and became the chairman of KEK'Hungarian Contemporary Architecture Centre which has become a relevant and internationally recognized independent cultural organization of contemporary architecture.
According to my professional experiences, I believe there is sufficient doubt about the official story of the 9/11 investigation. Therefore a new investigation must be re-opened and must include a full inquiry into the possible use of explosives, which might have been the actual cause of the destruction of the WTC Twin Towers and Building #7.

Everyone who has completed an accredited Architectural program has studied physics, properties of materials, and statics as minimum conditions of receiving a baccalaureate degree. Engineering students receive an even more rigorous education and training. As a licensed Architect or engineer we have received practical experience and relatively rigorous testing. If we can suspend our belief systems, and look at this event as a set of physical causes and effects, we will find much evidence to hypothesize causes other than those expressed by the Official reports of what occurred on September 11, 2001. For my part, I am expecting information at the level at which I was trained and tested in order to have the right and privilege to practice Architecture California.

I was in Manhattan, at school, on 9/11. That morning, I was with my friend Nate, from Boston. As we both watched the buildings fall, he realized his mother was on one of the flights that crashed into the WTC. After doing my own research into these events, I have found many inconsistencies in the official government story of what happened that day. I believe we need a new independent investigation into the events of 9/11. The speech that Mr. Gage gave at Manitoba University is the most concise explanation of my opinions on the WTC collapse. I hope someone can make a similar video on the Pentagon crash.

I have worked as an applications engineer for a semiconductor company in the Portland area for the last 20 years.
I doubt very much the story that is given, about the buildings collapsing upon themselves due to the fire as a result of the planes hitting the building. For two buildings to collapse upon their own footprint in exactly the same way defies probability. Building 7 of the World Trade Center, a steel reinforced building that only had a few office fires, just confirms that this was an inside job.

I have two B.S. degrees, Health Science and Long Term Care Administration. My Father was a Professional Engineer. I have no real connection to the 9/11 disaster except that I am an American and want to know the real story and the truth about what happened.
I guess I am like so many who don't want to think our government could, in any way, be involved in this disaster. I did not know about WTC #7. Your information is astounding and I can't believe anyone who watches this would not find it a little confusing. As one of the people on the video said, it, too, makes my stomach not feel very good. I, too, think an independent investigation should be done.

The movie presents scientific and logically compelling evidence of demolition of WTC buildings. If not challenged by the official scientific and honest arguments, I will count the US government responsible for the lives taken on 9/11 and the wars that followed.

Another investigation needs to be done. Evidence seems to suggest that controlled explosions caused the 3 buildings to fall, and not the planes hitting two of the buildings.

It's outrageous that our government would devastate and destroy the lives of so many innocent people, and to have done this by imploding, without notice to the public and tenants, two iconic American skyscrapers. The families need to sue Mr.Bush and his administration. I'm deeply sad for the families that were directly affected. Billy Robinson

It is very clear that the United States government are not acknowledging the full story on the events that took place 11 September 2001. It is physically impossible for WTC 7 to collapse in the way that it did! Only with some kind of intervention can a building fall through the path of most resistance with seemingly almost no resistance whatsoever. The evidence suggests it was the result of a controlled demolition. Please give us the answers to our questions! Explain to us why thermite is detected in the dust? Why there was molten steel in the rubble? Why hundreds of witnesses heard explosions?..... The list goes on and on..... We are not stupid! Give us the answers!!

My education is within the cultural field, hence not 'relevant' to this petition at all. However, there is no relevant education or experience one needs to deserve (and to demand) the truth.
I really have nothing to say about the 9/11 destruction. There are no words quite right.

I feel anybody looking at these overwhelming facts can see that the original story of how the buildings collapsed on 9/11 is incorrect. We need a new independent investigation to find out the real reason the Towers collapsed.

I'm a high school graduate with some college education. I was 18 when 9/11 occurred and like most, believed it was a terrorist attack. After many videos started to circulate, it became very clear to me that 9/11 didn't make much sense. I simply want a new investigation to prove it was in fact a terrorist attack like the government has stated.
After watching video of the 3rd building crumbling to the floor, Im perplexed as to why, with such minimal fire damage, a building would totally collapse. It's not scientifically possible for the said office fire to bend or melt steel to the point where it would make Building 7 collapse. Also if it did collapse due to the fire, I would think the side compromised the most would have gave way first. Yet the building came down demolition stye. Their explanation doesn't make sense and with scientist's evidence out weighing theirs, I feel a new investigation should be opened

We need a new comprehensive study that is adequately funded. So much was missed the first time around. Were the Israeli's involved in this event. What of the five dancing Israeli's and the moving company they worked for. Why wasn't that looked at?

I like your unbiased approach. I have no preconceived notions, but to my scientifically trained mind, there are important questions that need to be answered. Answers will lead to the truth, and that truth may be a significant revelation, or a minor adjustment in what we already know.
