On July 4th of last year, I watched with pride as many veterans of the army and navy paraded through Center street of our City of Provo. For the first time that I can remember, I was so touched that I shed tears of gratitude for the men and women before me who were willing to risk everything for family, for nation, and for freedom. It was an awesome sight!

Given that I have felt such deep gratitude for these soldiers and officers, it is strange to me that I am now publicly among the many who allege the events of 9/11, 2001 were far worse an atrocity than a terrorist attack on America–that it was actually an inside job.

I understand that this is no small accusation, nor is it something I would want to share with the brave military families who have fought for our freedom. And yet the burden of responsibility remains, and a satistactory explanation from the government has not been given.

Though it’s hard, and even painful, to hear or see these things, there is remarkable evidence against the official story. This evidence proliferates the internet and is available to those who want to know the truth. Let me share some examples.

UPDATE: As my understanding of events has become clearer, I have been better able to sort out fact from quack. I have updated the following list of links so as to endorse the facts in the 911 truth movement. In addition, some links have been removed in cases where I have found more poignant evidence.

  • A summary of ommissions and distortions in the 911 Commission Report video(8 min.) by David Ray Griffin, professor emeritus of Claremont University School of Theology.
  • A list of prominent conservatives who do not accept the official story.
  • The 911 revisited video (~1.5 hrs) showing the unlikelihood of a “fire and damage”-caused collapse of the twin towers.
  • The academic paper by Professor of Brigham Young University asking questions and describing the physical impossibility of the official story.
  • The coalition of Scholars for 911 Truth website (initiated, in part, by Dr. Jones from what I understand) with links to many other resources.
  • The petition from Scholars for 911 Truth regarding demands for specific evidence and due justice (signable petition here).
  • A reply to the Popular Mechanics article.

    Here, I Draw My Line in the Sand

    I am, as Dave vonKleist has invited us to do, drawing my line in the sand. The good and honorable in our society are yet many–it’s never too late. We must do something if we are to prevail! Share these videos, teach people to question what the media say. As Dylan Avery suggests, hold public gatherings and let people discover for themselves what is going on. We need to know the truth, and the pressure to find it can only come from the bottom up in a case like this.
