9/11: Time for a Second Look - David Ray Griffin begins US/European Tour

Professor David Ray Griffin, renowned author of a series of eye-opening books that recount his painstaking research into the attacks of September 11, 2001, begins his new European tour in London on 14th April. Stressing the fact that the time has come for a second look at the events of that fateful day, the tour will include stops in Paris, Brussels and Madrid, and several other cities.

Professor Griffin's talks will afford the public an excellent opportunity to learn more about the fundamental questions surrounding 9/11. The 9/11 Truth Movement, which started out as a disparate, grass-roots undertaking, has blossomed into a serious community that now includes many specialized branches, such as Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, Lawyers for 9/11 Truth, Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Medical Professionals for 9/11 Truth, Political Leaders for 9/11 Truth, Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth, Veterans for 9/11 Truth, and Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice (a group which includes a significant number of prominent scientists). Many former intelligence officers also support the movement and have contributed to the ever-growing list of evidence that proves far beyond a reasonable doubt that the explanations provided by the Bush-Cheney administration are quite simply false.

As Professor Griffin states, "The mainstream media are reluctant to discuss the subject and politicians are loath to delve into disturbing facts that ultimately indicate that America has gone to war on false pretences." Griffin says abundant evidence now exists that proves the Bush-Cheney administration broke the law and told lies that have led to the deaths of millions as a result of the so-called "war on terror" they concocted following 9/11.

Professor Griffin has conducted some of the most in-depth research into the September 11 attacks and compiled his findings into best-selling books including "The New Pearl Harbour", "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions", "9/11 Contradictions: An Open Letter to Congress and the Press", and "Debunking 9/11 Debunking".

His latest book, "The New Pearl Harbour Revisited", provides the most up-to-date information available and includes many new disconcerting facts culled in part from recently declassified government documents. "The New Pearl Harbour Revisited" was recently named "Pick of the Week" by Publishers Weekly.

These books make it painfully clear that the American public and the people of the world as a whole have been lied to. The general public has not yet accepted this fact because they have been shielded from the evidence. However, Professor Griffin says, "I find that once people are exposed to this evidence, they find it overwhelming."

It is indeed time for a second look at 9/11. As Professor Griffin says, "9/11 has affected us all, and it is time for the peoples of the world to support the scientists, architects, engineers, firefighters, pilots, religious leaders, political leaders, and former military and intelligence professionals who are calling for a new investigation."

The title of his talk will be "9/11: Time for a Second Look." He will be pointing out that many people---including politicians and journalists---formed their ideas about 9/11 and the 9/11 truth movement early on, when there seemed little reason to doubt the Bush administration's honesty and when the 9/11 truth movement could be caricatured, without too much exaggeration, as a bunch of kids on the Internet.

But now we have abundant evidence of the Bush-Cheney's administration's willingness to break the law and to tell lies that would lead to millions of deaths. And the 9/11 truth movement is now led intellectually by scientists and other professionals, as shown by the emergence of various organizations, including Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, Firefighters for 9/11 Truth, Lawyers for 9/11 Truth, Medical Professionals for 9/11 Truth, Pilots for 9/11 Truth, Political Leaders for 9/11 Truth, Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth, Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice (which includes scientists), Veterans for 9/11 Truth, and the Scientific Panel to Investigate 9/11. The movement also includes several former intelligence officers.

Thanks to these professionals, the evidence that the official story is false is now overwhelming. The only problem is to get people to look at the evidence. Once they are willing to do this, they quickly see that the official story simply cannot be true.

Finally, the replacement of the Bush administration with the Obama administration is important in three respects. First, potential whistleblowers may become less afraid to come forward. Second, the media may become more willing to expose the dozens of contradictions and other problems in the official myth. And third, there is at least the chance for a real investigation. The petition for both Religious Leaders for 9/11 Truth and Political Leaders for 9/11 Truth, for example, ends by asking President Obama to authorize a new, truly independent, investigation.
