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.

There is some doubt that the Trade Center towers could have collapsed without demolition explosives being utilized. What caused the third tower to fall? It might be more reliable to have a non-governmental citizens' investigation convention comprised of experts and participants who are not under the influence of past or current administrations, congress, the pentagon or other agencies, or political lobbies. It might be possible for pro bono legal specialists to initiate and monitor a broader freedom of information act so that additional evidence and facts can be ascertained. Others, including volunteers or paid investigators, journalists, and the media (PBS, C-Span) can play a role. Americans deserve answers to their questions, from reliable sources best able to gather and present the findings.

I think the main reason many people don't want to even consider the possibility (some say certainty) that the reasons for the WTC collapse is that it makes you consider the implications--the who/what/whys...and forces you to consider some ideas so horrible and evil that no one would want to face it. But reluctance is not a valid reason for not seeking the answer.

I find it sickeningly eerie, the number of similarities between the official investigation of 9/11 and that of the assassination of President Kennedy: from the immediate destruction and suppression of evidence; to the refusal to collect and analyze evidence; to government-sponsored scientific tests that disproved its own theories; to the evidence of foreknowledge; to the selling of its own exhaustive investigation by virtue of quantity and not quality. We should not seek the truth simply for the foregone desire to avert a similar instance in the future; we seek the truth--transparent and repeatable--to prevent continued governmental abuses on various levels, utilizing increasingly dangerous and deadly tactics as can be easily demonstrated in the 40 years between the assassination of a president and the mass murder of nearly 3,000 innocent people.

We can only judge on what we have seen. Those that can find the courage to examine the events of 9/11 will be changed forever. The media was used to create a picture of truth and to assign blame immediately after the collapse. The captive audience of the American people were persuaded toward a deceptive conclusion. Study each crash site in detail and you too will ask questions about what happened on 9/11.

Joseph has been involved in the design, management, and administration of architecture and construction for over 30 years, responsible for built projects worth up to $2 billion. He is the former President and part owner of the construction management (CM) firm that directed both the $115 million Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District's ES Reconstruction Program as well as Murrieta Valley Unified School District's $180 million Capital Improvements Program, both in California, and was Principal-in-Charge for over $1 billion worth of projects for the Los Angeles Unified School District. In addition, he has owned and operated several companies, including CM, architectural, and a mid-sized construction firm in Los Angeles. Joseph offers to clients a strong background in CM, construction, architectural design, strategic/long-range educational facility planning, and technical support specializing in the management of multi-million dollar, multi-project capital improvements programs directing hundreds of technical professionals. Joseph began his architectural career by obtaining a Masters degree from UCLA's Graduate School of Architecture and Urban Planning. After that, he had the privilege of working with the world-renowned and cutting-edge architecture firms of Morphosis, Charles Moore and the Urban Innovations Group, Eric Owen Moss, and Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall (DMJM).
When I watched the buildings burning, I was, of course, shocked. But when I saw them pancake down, I knew immediately that something was truly amiss. I know from the experience of being involved in the design and construction of high-rise office buildings that the pattern of collapse was just too perfect, and that the amount of debris left at the bottom was too small for the amount of steel, concrete, glass, and furnishings that make up structures of that immensity. Also, unless the destruction is carefully planned, there is always some weakness inherent in the construction that will make the building list to one side during a natural destruction. Strange, indeed.

As a civil engineering student at West Point on 9/11 when the World Trade Center buildings collapsed, I marveled at the explanation that jet fuel could melt through structural steel, how the buildings could collapse straight down at near free-fall speeds through the path of greatest resistance, and how many witnesses reported hearing explosions. After further research and hearing the commentary of fellow professionals, I could not concur with the official explanation offered by the government & the 9/11 Commission.

In my point of view the location of non burned (possibly) Nano Thermite and the velocity of the impacts over a complete steel construction makes it obvious, that everybody should ask for new an independent investigations. Something is obviously wrong. New investigations could help to get rid of rumors and abstruse conspiracy theories.

It seems pretty obvious to me as a registered architect that the collapse of the three WTC buildings were too controlled to be anything other than a controlled demolition. The evidence seems overwhelming that this is the truth. We need to know who did this and how. How could this have been implemented without causing suspicion?

I do believe that there is a great amount of fallacies in the official report from the 9/11 commission and of the US government. It is my belief that there is substantial evidence for proving that the Towers and Bldg 7 did not collapse solely due to the airplanes and/or debris. The sheer fact that there is hard, documented evidence of thermitic spheres and partially reacted thermite in the dust from around the city is proof enough to bring about an official, third party, investigation into the events of 9/11.

On first seeing the collapse videos, it was immediately clear that this was a demolition. The exterior walls of the towers were heavily structured. Small windows was a major criticism of the building. More free interior space was the result. Since the exterior walls were exceptionally strong, the likelihood that they could TOTALLY collapse is a complete improbability. Similarly, one tower sustained symmetric damage[opposing sides] while the other tower sustained damage on adjacent sides. Two radically different conditions that resulted in identical failures. Completely illogical.

It is the architects responsibility to ensure the Health, Safety and Welfare of humans when related to buildings design and cosntruction. In order to forsee potential threats caused by buildings to humans we need to have a clear and deep understanding of precedents to evaluate them and make sure we dont fall into the same errors again. A lot of misinformation surrounds the WTC7 investigation, it is time our voices are heard and a definite explanation is exposed.

As I watched the Twin Towers fall to the ground on live television, September 11, 2001, I knew in my heart of hearts that the narrative that would unfold would be filled with lies and obfuscation. I knew that governments and media outlets could not be trusted to tell the truth about the events of that day. I knew that the citizens of the world would soon be subjected to tyrannical suspicion. Now, looking back, was I wrong in thinking that as I watched the towers fall? For me, the WTC Building 7 event blended in with the rest of the days events on 9/11. At first, it was a footnote. But, now after all that I have seen and heard from countless credible sources, particularly the voluminous evidence presented by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, I am convinced that WTC 7 did not fall due to 'Office fires'. Anyone with critical thinking skills and an internet connection can clearly see that the world has been lied to with explanations from major media outlets and government officials. Read ae911truth.org. Read/listen to Christopher Bollyn. Read/listen to James Fetzer. Read/listen to James Perloff. Do these people have all the answers? No, but they certainly present a host of unassailable evidence that should lead any critical thinker to ask more questions and seek the unabridged truth about 9/11 as opposed to the lies of the contemporary 9/11 narrative.
