			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Two new papers have appeared recently. One is by John Wyndham in which he examines the evidence and <a href="http://www.journalof911studies.com/volume/2010/Wyndham1.pdf">applies the scientific method</a> to it. Here is his abstract:</p>
<p><em>The widespread belief among those who question the official account of 9/11, that a large plane did not hit the Pentagon on 9/11, is unsupported by the evidence. The failure of the 9/11 truth movement to reach consensus on this issue after almost a decade is largely due to a failure to rigorously apply the scientific method to each proposed theory. This paper, by so applying the evidence to each proposed theory, shows that a large plane hitting the Pentagon is by far the most plausible theory.</em></p>
<p>The other paper is by David Chandler and myself. It is an addendum to our previous paper showing that the North of Citgo flight path could not have occurred as it would produce a very steep bank angle and no such angle was reported.</p>
<p>The addendum draws on two additional pieces of evidence to show that the <a href="http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2011/12/27/addendum-to-the-paper-refuting-the-pentagon-flyover-hypothesis/">required bank angle could not be survived</a>.</p>
<p>The north path is thus shown to be not merely improbable, based on conflicting witness testimony, but impossible, based on the laws of physics.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A paper by David Chandler and myself is now available at S911TJ, Foreign Policy Journal and Global Research. It is titled &#8220;<a href="http://stj911.org/legge/Legge_Chandler_NOC_Refutation.html">The Pentagon Attack on 9/11: A Refutation of the Flyover Hypothesis Based on Analysis of the Flight Path</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>The paper shows that the few witnesses to the plane passing north of the Citgo service station must have been mistaken as the north path flight would have incurred a very steep bank angle, which none of the witnesses reported. Many witnesses reported the bank angle was slight. The only reasonable conclusion is that the plane flew straight and hit the Pentagon and that activists should focus their attention on other issues such as the failure of the normal intercept procedure. An Addendum to this paper has now been submitted for publication. It draws on additional witness information to show the north path to be even more impossible than previously calculated.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The publication of the paper by Warren Stutt and myself on the <a href="http://www.journalof911studies.com/volume/2010/Calibration%20of%20altimeter_92.pdf">FDR file from the Pentagon attack</a> has ignited a fresh round of controversy. The new decoding by Warren reveals 4 more seconds of data at the end of the file. It thus shows that the scientific study of radar data by John Farmer and Tom Lusch had led to the correct conclusion that data was mising from the files originally available. The new decoding shows the plane descending and hitting the Pentagon, as reported by the majority of eyewitnesses and as indicated by the long straight line of damage. Those who say the FDR file shows the plane could not have hit the Penagon are thus proved wrong. In response to criticism of the paper I have added new pages under the Pentagon tab.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span> The editors of 9/11 Truth News are pleased to present <a href="http://911truthnews.com/" target="_blank">911truthnews.com</a>.  9/11 Truth News is intended to be an accessible and factually oriented  first reference for those curious about 9/11 truth. Our movement must  serve its audience and this site was created for that purpose.</span></p>
<p>The key to effectively serving this purpose is our strategy. That starts  with the site being solely related to 9/11 truth and edited by four  longtime movement activists. With a good deal of thought about who we  need to reach and the obstacles that stand in the way of reaching them,  the editors of <a href="http://911truthnews.com/" target="_blank">911truthnews.com</a> will be publishing only that which we  believe to be the best this movement has to offer.</p>
<p>What does &#8216;the best&#8217; look like? Uplifting images of people committed to  educating the public. Videos of thoughtful actions and real connections  with our audience. Stories of our mutual challenges and cooperative  successes. Important discoveries. Revealing hit pieces. Thoughtful  commentary. The best looks like positive movement.</p>
<p>In order for this site to reflect the best this movement has to offer,  we will need help from the movement to keep us informed about what we  might include. We need people to help us find relevant news. We need  groups to send us their best images and videos of their actions and  events. We need people to help us fill out the resources section by  submitting links to related history, our strongest evidence, and  information relevant movement strategy.</p>
<p>Commenting is provided on our site primarily to allow readers to post  thoughtful questions and commentary that enhances the educational value  of our posts. We will be strictly moderating comments to maintain that  educational value. If you&#8217;d like to comment, please stay on topic and  don&#8217;t get too heavily into details, speculation or debate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>David Ray Griffin has recently published a remarkable paper which discusses the concept of State Crimes Against Democracy (SCAD) in relation to WTC 7. The paper is titled &#8220;<a href="http://911truth.org/article.php?story=20100527162010811">Building What? How SCADs Can Be Hidden in Plain Sight</a>&#8220;.</p>
<p>It is a powerful and effective paper, providing a detailed summary of the evidence that the collapse of WTC 7 was an inside job.  He points out that very few members of the public are aware that this building collapsed, let alone how it collapsed, thus showing the power of a controlled media.  He cunningly shows how NIST team leader Shyam Sunder proves the NIST report false, using his own words.</p>

<div><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;">NYC CAN responded by filing suit, and on September 9 the City conceded NYC CAN did in fact submit enough valid signatures to put the referendum before the voters. Now NYC CAN is battling to prove the petition is legally valid. On September 28, the referee will report on the petition&#8217;s legality, and a final determination will be made in the days that follow.</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />

<div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: medium;">On Monday, August 10, NYC CAN began a comprehensive review of the nearly 26,000 signatures invalidated by the <span id="lw_1251142823_0"><span id="lw_1251143767_0" style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; cursor: pointer;"><span id="lw_1251145240_1">New York City Board of Elections</span></span></span> and City Clerk. With 26,003 signatures accepted as valid by the City, at least 3,997 additional signatures were needed to exceed the threshold of 30,000 signatures. 10 days, 50 volunteers and 1,000 man-hours later, we are thrilled to report we have so far discovered 6,924 signatures we will argue were wrongly invalidated.</p>
<p>In addition, the Court has granted an extension allowing us to complete our review of 6 unfinished volumes. We anticipate having well over 7,000 additional valid signatures once the review is complete. The 50+ individuals who helped conduct the review take great pride in knowing their work has stopped the silencing of 7,000 <span id="lw_1251142823_1"><span id="lw_1251143767_1"><span id="lw_1251145240_2">New York City voters</span></span></span> and allowed their voices to be heard.</p>
<p>On Friday, August 28, we must serve a <span id="lw_1251142823_2" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;"><span id="lw_1251143767_2"><span id="lw_1251145240_3">Bill of Particulars</span></span></span> listing all signatures we argue should be deemed valid by the Court. Special Referee Louis Crespo will begin a line-by-line review of the disputed signatures on Tuesday, <span id="lw_1251142823_3"><span id="lw_1251143767_3"><span id="lw_1251145240_4">September 8</span></span></span>, and is scheduled to complete his review by Friday, <span id="lw_1251142823_4"><span id="lw_1251143767_4" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;"><span id="lw_1251145240_5" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;">September 18</span></span></span>.</p>
<p></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: medium;">Pending the outcome of the Court’s review of the disputed signatures, lawyers for NYC CAN and the City will begin arguing the legality of the petition’s proposed amendment to the City Charter.</p>
<p>Looking ahead, NYC CAN will submit an additional 28,000 signatures on <span id="lw_1251142823_5"><span id="lw_1251143767_5" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; cursor: pointer;"><span id="lw_1251145240_6" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; cursor: pointer;">September 3</span></span></span> to satisfy the requirement of 15,000 valid signatures needed to override the City Council’s failure to act on the petition. The 60-day period for the City Council to approve the referendum’s placement on the ballot ended today, August 24, 2009. If NYC CAN wins in court, the submission of 15,000 more valid signatures will guarantee the referendum’s placement on the ballot.</p>
<p></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: medium;"><span id="lw_1251142823_6"><span id="lw_1251143767_6" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;"><span id="lw_1251145240_7" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;">Legal proceedings</span></span></span> are expected to last through the month of September, by which time a favorable determination from the Court is needed in order for the referendum to be placed on this November’s ballot. Over the last 25 years six ballot initiatives have been attempted in New York City. Only one has made it on the ballot: the 1993 initiative to limit New York City elected officials to two terms in office, whose supporters also had to go to court to prove the initiative legal before passage by the voters, and which was nevertheless undone by the City Council last year. We will battle against all odds to see that the initiative to establish a critically needed reinvestigation of 9/11 does not suffer the same fate as past ballot initiatives.<br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: medium;">NYC CAN now calls upon its thousands of members and millions aware of the egregious inadequacy of the 9/11 Commission Report to help ensure our fight for a real investigation does not go unnoticed by the larger public. Nearly 80,000 New Yorkers have put pen to paper to call for the right of all New Yorkers to vote an impartial, independent investigation into existence. This momentous step forward in the quest for truth about <span id="lw_1251142823_7" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;"><span id="lw_1251143767_7" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;"><span id="lw_1251145240_8" style="border-bottom: 1px dashed #0066cc; cursor: pointer;">September 11th</span></span></span> will be looked upon with admiration across the globe. Through the ages those who have fought for justice did not win by backing down when their government said no. We will continue this fight and future efforts with the same determination that has gotten us to where we stand today. </span></div>
