Dear fellow activists,
I just returned from Philadelphia and the
Continental Congress 2.0 & the National Occupy
Gathering; I was hosted by Hilary Kane, who is
organizing the Green Party Convention. I wrote
something up and posted it at
-
<http://communitycurrency.org/node/329>http://communitycurrency.org/node/329
, but I have had my hands full with the next
onslaught of events, including having to go to
court this Thursday, as result of our Occupy
Lockheed Martin Action (luckily we have a couple
of pro-bono lawyers now, helping us). I have to
work on press, and table at the upcoming
premieres, plus there are a number of other
events happening this month and in August. If
anyone wants to help or carpool, let me know. Carol 650-857-0927

EXPERT GROUP REJECTS WORLD TRADE CENTER REPORTS
ENGINEERS POINT TO EVIDENCE OF SCIENTIFIC FRAUD
CALL FOR INDEPENDENT 9/11 INVESTIGATION
Documentary World Premiere — FINAL EDITION
“9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out”
If you thought that the fires at the World Trade
Center twin towers, set off by the horrific
jetliner impacts of September 11, 2001, were the
cause of the destruction of those iconic
skyscrapers, you may be mistaken. Experts now
cite evidence showing that high-temperature
incendiaries and explosives were planted
throughout the twin towers and the lesser-known
47-story Building 7, also destroyed later the same day.
So says a group of architects and engineers
nearly 1700 strong, represented by Richard Gage,
AIA, founder of Architects & Engineers For 9/11
Truth (AE911Truth) and the director/producer of a
new documentary. Two years in the making, the
documentary “9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts
Speak Out – FINAL EDITION ” officially debuted
May 22 in Beverly Hills with a red carpet treatment and press conference.
Famed actor Ed Asner, host and narrator of
AE911Truth's micro-documentary "Architects &
Engineers – Solving the Mystery of WTC 7," joined
Gage at the Beverly Hills kickoff and introduced
the film. Also lending some star power to the
Beverly Hills opening night were veteran
Hollywood actors John Heard and Judd Nelson.
High-rise architect Robert McCoy, one of the
respected building professionals featured in
Experts Speak Out, also attended the opening.
A variety of special guests will appear with Gage
at other premiere locations across the country,
including experts featured in the film, family
members of 9/11 victims, and prominent public
figures who support 9/11 Truth. Mechanical
engineer Tony Szamboti and 9/11 family member Bob
McIlvaine, who made headlines with their
explosive 9/11 interview by Geraldo on Fox News
in 2010, will attend the premiere screening in Philadelphia on June 25.
The film features 43 experts in building
engineering, physics, chemistry, and other
technical fields, plus a half-dozen psychologists
who discussed the denial of the evidence that the
AE911Truth engineers have been seeking to get
attention to since the founding of the nonprofit
organization in 2007. The group's petition,
signed by 14,000 concerned citizens in addition
to the architectural and engineering experts,
calls upon the U.S. Congress to initiate a new independent investigation.
“The official story about the attacks of
September 11 falls apart when you look squarely
at the facts and apply basic scientific
principles to interpret them," says Gage. "After
more than ten years, a high-level investigation
of the evidence is long overdue. Too much is at
stake here to sweep the concerns under the rug.
Family members of 9/11 victims speak to the
viewers of this film. They explain why they are
still not happy with the answers they've been
given by our government. And they are asking you
to join them in looking at what our experts have to say."
Several of the film's experts bear PhD's,
including renowned biologist Lynn Margulis, now
deceased. Margulis was a National Medal of
Science winner who, along with the other experts
in this film, describes unscientific aspects of
the US government's studies of the engineering
failures at the World Trade Center. The complete,
symmetrical failure of WTC 7 was especially
baffling to engineers at the time. According to
experts interviewed in the film, the official
reports by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) and later by the National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) assume their
own conclusions, exclude relevant evidence, and
failed to draw reasonable conclusions from the
evidence that was examined. Dr. Margulis for
instance discusses how the scientific method
should have been applied to the evidence of
high-temperature incendiaries found in the WTC
dust by an international group of scientists.
The documentary is filled with testimony from
experts such as Les Young, one of several
high-rise architects interviewed in the film, who
remarks, “I would not have expected the whole
building to just give in at once. And I thought
it rather odd that they fell almost perfectly –
in very similar ways. It seemed odd that lightning would strike twice.”
The documentary presents interviews with several
psychologists who share their ideas about why the
evidence discussed by the technical experts in
the film has been difficult for many to face, and how to make it easier.
Regarding WTC Building 7, materials engineer
Kathy McGrade says in the film, "The symmetry is the smoking gun."
Structural engineer Ron Brookman notes: "The
destruction of evidence was a criminal act in
itself.... It was already being carted away and
destroyed when the FEMA investigators got there
about a month after September 11."
According to retired physics teacher David
Chandler: "In order for [WTC 7] to be falling
down with zero resistance, it means that the
resistance had to have been removed by something
else.... You can’t have free fall when there’s
support.... If I were a scientist at NIST, I’d be
embarrassed to try to put forward something like
[what they said in their report]. It was clearly a fraudulent argument."
The NIST report on the twin Towers blames their
destruction on office fires ignited by the
jetliner impacts, combined with the removal of
fireproofing insulation, knocked off the steel by
those impacts. The NIST report on WTC 7, which
was not hit by a jetliner, blames fires alone.
The World Premiere of this milestone film kicks
off a 30-city cross-country tour of the United
States, wrapping up in San Francisco in July.

2) Listening for a Change - On the Eleventh of Every Month
Wednesday, 11 July 2012 - 11:00am - 1:00pm
Lytton Plaza, University & Emerson, Downtown Palo Alto
From October 2001 through October 2007 every
week, except when it was raining; I set up
tables, banners, chairs, food, educational
material, and created a space for public dialogue
on key issues. In November 2007 (when my weekly
radio shows began), I began doing this on a
monthly basis, on the 11th of every month, in
solidarity with other activists worldwide (See http://www.truthaction.org.)
We ask the public three questions and write down their responses-
What do you think/feel about the events of
September 11th and the U.S. government's response?
How could we defuse terrorism?"
How could we create a safer/better world for our children and all children?
Sponsored by Women's International League for
Peace and Freedom and Northern California 9-11

5) Occupy Bohemian Grove - Creation of Care
Saturday, 14 July 2012 - 12:00 noon - 4:00 pm
Monte Rio Amphitheater, 9925 Main St, Monte Rio, CA
The BOHEMIAN GROVE ACTION NETWORK, a coalition of

called attention to this annual “Retreat of the
Elite” held every July in Sonoma County,
California is inviting all to join them in
drawing attention to this annual gathering of the 1%.
They came together in 1980 and many summers since
to expose how the Bohemian Grove gathering, held
every year in seclusion, cements bonds of
camaraderie among a very small elite that extend
to business associations far from the Owl Shrine’s funeral pyre.
For more on the history of Bohemian Grove and
Bohemian Grove Action Network, go to http://www.sonomacountyfreepress.com/.
This year there will be an organizing meeting on
July 7th. People are encouraged to come and stay,
camp to participate in actions, as well as an
educational event on July 14th which will include
