The Guardian

They call it the 9/11 for Truth Movement, and tonight those who believe the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon were carried out by the American government and not jihadist hijackers will gather in London's Conway Hall to listen to one of the biggest figures among a growing number of disbelievers.

Two days before the fifth anniversary of the attacks, David Ray Griffin, emeritus professor of philosophy of religion and theology at Claremont graduate university, and author of The New Pearl Harbor and The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions, will ask his audience: "Was 9/11 an inside job?"

He will be joined on stage by the ex-MI5 officer David Shayler, who will introduce the talk, for which tickets have almost sold out. Prof Griffin is a founder member of the 9/11 Scholars for Truth movement in the US. He is joined by 75 academics who write in books, journals and essays that they have overwhelming evidence that shatters the official version of events on that September morning.

And it seems that a growing number of people are listening to them. A recent poll in the US found that 36% of Americans believed it "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that their government was involved in allowing the attacks or had carried them out itself. There are many people in the UK who agree with them.

The theories as to what happened on that day, when almost 3,000 people were killed, differ but their unifying theme is that a neo-conservative cabal within the US government staged the events as a pretext to wage wars, become a dominant force in the world and establish "the new American century". The attacks, it is said, were not carried out by al-Qaida terrorists but were a "false flag" event used to justify invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.

Films have been made on the subject, websites show countless images that "back up" the claims, chatrooms are screaming with conspiracists and there is a plethora of published material. Much of this argues that the collapse of the Twin Towers was caused by a controlled demolition and not by the aeroplanes which slammed into their sides.

Ian Neal helped form the British 9/11 for Truth Movement, which he says is a "loose network of campaigners who have grown up over the past two years". The official 9/11 commission investigation into the attacks firmly dismissed the conspiracy theories, but those who expound them say this is precisely why there needs to be an independent inquiry.

Wow, Guardian covered it!

Just back - met loads of ppl, some I knew - loads not.

Cypher, Fatboy Episteme and Faust were there - all grat people. Good on everyone. Good day.

Stayed over in a nice house/garden fll of Icke devotees. Asked Shayler my question on lockerbie.

I was surprised The Guardian had written an article. I checked other news sites around the same time last night (7:10pm) and saw nothing; nothing still.

Hope you all had fun. I ended up getting ill and losing lack of sleep from evil animals and some 'Barn Yard Dance' blaring out old music and playing bingo.

Any of you planning to write up a little summary that we can read?

See media links - video going up

Audio from the event coming up also - give me a couple of hours

... DONE... audio is up via here: http://www.conspiracyresearch.org/forums/A...2006-t4616.html

I got that... paul has our digi video up in Notts so that'll be 2011 befor we get hold of it to get it up online then.

I can say all this as he "doesn't do phorums"

Cool - looking forward to seeing the video. If you want me to send my un-edited audio (3 hour WAV file) to you or anyone just give me a shout.

3 hour wav? Do I need to send an articulated truck up to Mason - Land to fetch it?

Actually it is only 42MB - let me know.

For the record I have no interest in masonry or any other brickwork/plastering for that matter

Please stop these comments or I will have to LODGE a complaint!
