Press for Truth

9/11: Press for Truth

911Blogger.com blog shouts: Attention Chicago! "9/11 Press for Truth" free screening 9/13/2006. The link has an informative review of the film, inspired by the four New Jersey widows whose husbands died in the 9/11 crashes. Their demands resulted in the first 9/11 Commission report, which turned out to be a whitewash. The facts presented in Press for Truth can be found in the definitive 9/11 Timeline.

If no one else does, I'll try arrange a showing of Press for Truth here in Carbondale . . . at the Big Muddy Independent Media Center, or the Student Center, or at one of the houses of worship in the area. Since it's factual (unlike the recent ABC-Disney fictionalized version) a showing in the Civic Center; or at local schools could be arranged.

The producers of 9/11: Press for Truth were on CSPAN yesterday. They want the film to spur a movement for an impartial Investigation into the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001.

Regarding another aspect of 9/11, the crumbling of the towers: in a blow to academic freedom, one of the most high-profile scholars, tenured BYU Professor Stephen E. Jones, was put on paid leave, while BYU administrators determine what to do about him. He wrote a scholarly paper that demonstrates that thermite charges are what actually brought the buildings to free fall to the ground in 7 seconds

Press for Truth steers clear of Towers issues, as well as the controversy surrounding the Pentagon strike.

Yesterday, the two creators of another popular 9/11 film: Loose Change debated two representatives of the Popular Mechanics on the Democracy Now! program, available for download. Worth a listen to hear Jason Bermas, researcher for "Loose Change" say to James Meigs, (editor-in-chief of Popular Mechanics, and one of the authors of "Debunking 911 Myths"), "I'm not calling anybody a liar, sir. . . . I'm calling you a liar." The kids were passionate and made their case, once the cell phone argument was dropped. Their case is this: Don't take their word for it. Review the evidence on your own.

In April, 2005, Jim Hoffman answered Popular Mechanics' Assault on 9/11 Truth.
