...on Oct. 15th and 16th, New Yorkers filled two venues to hear
a prominent theologian and author of two books on 9/11. David
Ray Griffin, gave a presentation titled "The Destruction of
the Trade Towers: A Christian Theologian Speaks Out".
He included excerpts from the firemen's tapes that were
recently released as a result of a prolonged court battle led
by victim's families represented by attorney Norman Siegel and
reported in the NY Times. He also included statements by many
witnesses. These sources gave ample testimony giving evidence
to explosions going off in the buildings. There was a 12

Leading Theologian Speaks Out On 9/11
Articles / Current News about 9-11
Date: Oct 18, 2005 - 10:35 PM
Even after four years, controversy over the events of 9/11
continues to surface in the news. We recently witnessed the
honest questioning of the official account by a FDNY Muslim
chaplain that gave rise to a storm of intolerance and
deflection of any actual and legitimate inquiry into the
official account of the attacks. Even more recent was the
refusal by the CIA Director Porter Goss to investigate people
within the agency who played key roles and should have acted
on important information but didn't.
In the wake of these developments, on Oct. 15th and 16th, New
Yorkers filled two venues to hear a prominent theologian and
author of two books on 9/11. David Ray Griffin, gave a
presentation titled "The Destruction of the Trade Towers: A
Christian Theologian Speaks Out".
Dr. Griffin has continued to blaze a trail of courage, leading
where media and elected officials except for a mere handful
have feared to tread. His presentation went straight to the
core of one of the most powerful indictments on the official
story, the collapse of the towers including WTC 7.
He included excerpts from the firemen's tapes that were
recently released as a result of a prolonged court battle led
by victim's families represented by attorney Norman Siegel and
reported in the NY Times. He also included statements by many
witnesses. These sources gave ample testimony giving evidence
to explosions going off in the buildings. There was a 12
minute film shown for the audiences who saw for themselves the
undeniable details which were presented.
Dr. Griffin listed ten characteristics of the collapses that
all indicate that the buildings did not fall due to being
struck by planes or the ensuing fires. For instance, he
explained the buildings fell suddenly without much if any
indication of collapse. They fell straight into their own
footprint in a freefall, at the speed of gravity due to no
resistance. The towers were built to withstand the impact of a
Boeing 707 and 160 mile per hour winds. There was no way the
impact from planes and fires could have destroyed 47 massive
core columns. These columns were broken in uniform lengths.
There was a volcanic-like dust cloud from the concrete being
pulverized. The debris was ejected horizontally several
hundred feet in huge fan shaped plumes stretching in all
directions. These are all facts that have been avoided by
mainstream and even most of the alternative media. Again,
these are characteristics of controlled demolitions, as news
people and firefighters were describing on the morning of
9/11.
It's important to note that Dr. Griffin is one of many
prominent intellectuals that include the likes of Howard Zinn,
Peter Dale Scott, Richard Falk, Paul Craig Roberts and Peter
Phillips who have seen through the major discrepancies of the
official explanation of 9/11 and have risen to challenge it.
In other words, skepticism of what we've been told goes far
beyond your typical anti-war activists.
He got standing ovations at both events that were filled to
capacity. With presentations like this, its getting
increasingly difficult for the naysayers to ignore the actual
evidence that 9/11 was far different from what the public has
been told. Now its time for the public at large to objectively
view this research and seek to learn all they can about the
alternative views on the attacks of 9/11, since the U.S.
government continues to use that fateful day to further its
agenda in so many ways. To understand our current political
reality, understanding 9/11 is required.
Dr. Griffin's speech titled "9/11 and the American Empire"
given at the University of Wisconsin earlier this year was
broadcast twice on C-SPAN. In late September he was asked to
give expert testimony at hearings sponsored by Cynthia
McKinney and the Congressional Black Caucus investigating the
9/11 Commission Report. He is currently Professor Emeritus at
Claremont College in California.
These events were sponsored by NY911truth.org, WBAI and the
Muslim-Christian-Jewish Alliance for 9/11 Truth. For more
details on educational efforts here in New York City, as well
