9/11 Controlled Demolition
9/11 Theologian Says Controlled Demolition of World Trade Center Is Now a Fact, Not a Theory
In two speeches to overflow crowds in New York last weekend, notable theologian David Ray Griffin argued that recently revealed evidence seals the case that the Twin Towers and WTC-7 were destroyed by controlled demolition with explosives. Despite the many enduring mysteries of the 9/11 attacks, Dr. Griffin concluded, “It is already possible to know, beyond a reasonable doubt, one very important thing: the destruction of the World Trade Center was an inside job, orchestrated by terrorists within our own government.”
Griffin included excerpts from the firemen’s tapes which 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 of explosions going off in the buildings. A 12 minute film was shown for the audiences, who saw for themselves the undeniable evidence for controlled demolition.
(Thank you for the latest on this, TJJA!)
I’ve read both Griffin’s books on the subject. He does present good arguments and evidence, at least about the Saudi connections and the way the buildings fell.
At election time, a large percentage of Americans had responded to the administration’s Pavlovian association-repetition of Iraq and 9/11 with the belief that Hussein, not Bin Laden, was behind the attacks. This administration has been cited for outright propaganda by one of their own departments. When someone does something wrong, they get praise, promotions, medals. It’s clear that they don’t have a problem with lying and hiding things from the American people. Has any administration been less forthcoming?
Anyone who cares to pay attention and think for themselves should be able to connect enough dots to have to give up the illusion that these are “good guys.” Just a few examples: the outing of a CIA agent working on terrorism to punish a critic and implicitly threaten other whistleblowers (where is the report of how many died as a result of that action?), stealing from the poor to give to the rich, slash-and-burn environmental policy, alienation from most of the rest of the world, noncompliance with signed treaties, invasion of another country, rewriting of torture policies, replacement of soldiers and interrogators with hired employees, tampering with and overriding and circumventing constitutional civil liberties, large-scale corruption and cronyism, possible tampering with voter machines and proven manipulation of voter rosters, conflicts of interest, enabling the unrestrained raiding by corporate interests, and manipulation of voters on so-called “religious” grounds.
So, for me, it’s not such a stretch. Whether or not our government actually had a hand in it, I have become convinced that most of us are… expendable. What few doubts I had remaining were swept away after Katrina.
I’m not sure that I would go so far as to say – yet – that I believe 911 was a plan that was deliberately supported by our own government, but the situation does look a bit murky. If there wasn’t any straightforward involvement, there seems at least to be a string of uncanny coincidences. At the very least, wouldn’t it be interesting to know whether there were explosives planted in the buildings before the planes hit, or why the Bush administration denied flying the Bin Laden family out of the country, among dozens of other fascinating questions?
I’d like to see this film footage, and some of the information that has been withheld until now.The two books are worth a read. Personally, I found The New Pearl Harbor the more interesting of the two. Kudos to David Ray Griffin, a theologian who sees and will not be silent.
This theory is a little too much to swallow! I suppose the planes crashing into the buildings did little to bring them down. And why blame our government?
Hmmmm–”controlled demolition.”
Where have we heard that one before?
And is it enough to suggest that 9/11 may have actually been designed as a deliberate “inside job” by His Fraudulency’s Great Within, using International Terrorism as a patsy and bromide to deflect the blame from the real perps (especially if the desire was to provoke insurrection in the name of Destroying International Terrorism)?
This post is so stupid to suggest that the WTC Towers were brought down by the government. This is as stupid as Louis Farrakan saying there is proof that the levees in New Orleans were blown up to flood the poorer black neighborhoods in New Orleans.
Conspiracy theories are like urban legends. They are only believed if you make the leap of faith that the story teller has credibility. It’s so difficult to plan a surprise birthday party. With all the incompetence associated with any government, what are the chances they could pull this off? I’m with Jon, it’s a bit too much to believe.
Interesting that judgment is passed before any consideration of evidence.
I attended seminary where Professor Griffin taught (Claremont School of Theology). He is primarily known as a first-rate process theologian and philosopher, and his academic career informs the work he’s done on 9/11 research. Even if one calls his theories conspiracist, he provides significant evidence to back up his claims- evidence that is sufficient to cast serious doubt on the party line.
It ALL true it has to be. Everything. the feds lied at every turn in this story. They hid all the really important info. the fema report is one STINKY document. every one of there claims about the event are just plain false. You can pull the flag around your head and hide from the truth or you can throw off the yoke and fight for your rights as a human to know what your government has done and is doing now. I am personally shocked that you americans have let this government roll over your libertys so easily and so quickly. The time for getting your house in order was 9 years ago. i think more disasters will befall new york as your government strain for ever higer levels of dominace over YOU AND THE WHOLE WORLD. some powers in the world may have a thing or two to say about your government running ruffshod over the planet bombing anything you like kicking in any door killing all that you encouner along your way to gasing up your obsolete ways. your government can fool you for a time but it cannot fool everyone. some folk actually have news actual news on there tvs. all i see on us news staions is adverts the news is fluff from under the city desk thoughly cleansed of any real news then thrown on wolfs desk for dissemination to the masses and you sheep suck it in huge heaps. well the shit is moving through the fan and damn the shower of poo is visable here in canada.
you folk in the USA Get Your House In Order Fast of the fate of this planet is GRAVE indeed!
I have looked high i have searched low and all the signs lead to one very hard fact Controlled demolition WTC 1,2 and 3. all the evidence is there to see in video to hear in the audio and see in the photos.

answered any of theese questions? http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/9-11BasicQuestions NO it has not so untill your government supplys answers to thees and all the questions that arise around the events of 911 they CANNOT BE TRUSTED period!

8,202,534,343,645 Does EVEN ONE American have ANY idea HOW MUCH 8 trillion plus REALLY IS
YOU ARE BROKE AND WILL BE FOR SOME TIME TO COME
Blowing the crap out of every one with the stuff you need is not going to cut it. So i guess the wait is on to see how long you can spend over the 8.2 tril. limit. As you can see you are allready over it.
SAD DAYS America sad days indeed.
Who are you Masher1? If you are really from Canada, it looks like your government is tilting rightwards too.
Your tone bothers me. I am a liberal, but I’m also an American, and while I agree with much of the substance of what you’re saying, your delivery is creepy.
I’ve documented your (probably temporary) satellite IP and your email address, for whatever that’s worth. Go away. Do not comment again. Any future comments will be deleted. This is a fully moderated blog.
So What. you have some thing to hide like the reason for the pat a boot off. Creepy ha that is good the pot calling the kettle.
the sat ip well it is real hard to get broadband here 4 km se of Olds Alberta. want the exact place that my sat dish is setup at? I am not hiding not even for a second. Delete away. the right thing to do is suck it up and face some DANGEROUS times with some courage for a moment. the tone is meant to alarm you Americans about the things you are up to in the world. Illeagl things i will add. Nuf said to you.
Masher – what I don’t understand is why you have targeted this particular blog for adversarial comments – haven’t you looked at any other post? I have been trying to bring some of these same points out. I just don’t like your tone – it is threatening in a kind of personal way that I don’t understand. Why not target the right-wing blogs who have so many followers if you want to shake ‘em up?
Being a skeptic of the official story of 911 is easy.
All the evidence seems to contradict it.
I’m amazed that no one has done this, but it seems to
me that a very easy way to prove or disprove the
controlled demolition theory would be to analyze the
dust from the buildings.
Fifteen hundred pounds of explosives per building adds
up to more than a couple of tons of explosives.
I’m sure explosive residue would be found in the dust
if analyzed and there.
It’s either there or it’s not. Case closed.
Has anyone done this?
Do you have the facilities to do it?
Have you heard of any results of any analysis?
