Updated February 2008: latest additions: Stanley Hilton
Ahmad, Mahmoud: Director of Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) at the time of
9-11, Asia Times notes he was breakfasting with Porter Goss and Bob Graham on the morning of 9-11, and notes Indian Intelligence learned that he had
ordered Saeed Sheikh to wire $100,000 to a Mohamed Atta bank account in
Florida. The ISI is a product of the CIA.
Ahmed, Nafeez Mosaddeq:, Executive Director of the
Institute for Policy Research & Development in Brighton, UK, and the author
of many internationally acclaimed reports on human rights and western foreign
policy. His book The War On Freedom was the first
comprehensive book on the events of 9/11. A subsequent book, The War on
Truth, provides a detailed analysis of the scope of worldwide national
intelligence services links to terrorist operations and the underlying
geostrategy of the “War on Terror.”
Arnold, Larry K.: Major General and North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD)
commander on the day of the attacks. He offered un-sworn testimony to the Kean
Commission that the "concept of terrorists using airplanes as weapons was
unavailable to us”. In
contradiction to Richard Myer’s statement that no planes were scrambled,
Arnold provided a time line indicating that during the crisis hours of 9/11 the
FAA became increasingly slower in delivering alerts to NORAD, so the scrambled
planes never got there in time.(The FAA claimed that phone bridges were
established immediately after the initial attack (at 8:46), and that NORAD was
informed in real time of all developments.)
Ashcroft, John: Attorney General . On the basis of a “threat assessment” he received
from the FBI, he stopped taking commercial airplane flights long before 9/11
see Edmonds, Sibel; Mueller, Robert; Rice, Condoleezza; Schippers, David
Atta, Mohamed: Alleged ringleader of the 19 hijackers. Atta was portrayed by the
official accounts (including the 9/11 Commission) as a devout radical Islamic
fundamentalist. The official account did not address Atta’s predilection for
alcohol, drugs, pork, and lap dancers.

Bamford, James: Author of Body of Secrets, which, among other things, discussed
the set of proposals code named OPERATION NORTHWOODS issued by the Chair of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff General Lyman Lemnitzer in 1962. The proposals called for
acts of terrorism against the American people and Cuban refugees, which would
be blamed on Cuba, in order to build support for a Cuban invasion.
Barrett, Kevin PhD.: Founder of MUJCA-NET [http://www.mujca.com], which is a
group of scholars, religious leaders and activists dedicated to uniting members
of the Jewish, Christian and Islamic faiths in pursuit of 9/11 truth. MUJCA
sponsored David Ray Griffin’s presentation “911 and the American Empire” delivered at the University
of Wisconsin at Madison. On April 18 2005, which was recorded and
broadcast twice by C-SPAN.
Bellone, Mike: A retired supermarket
manager whose service to the WTC rescue operations was lauded by hundreds of
rescue workers, and for this he was made an honorary firefighter. A
commemorative book Behind the Scenes Ground Zero, by Gail Swanson, in
large part focused on Bellone’s contributions. He corroborated Nicholas
DeMasi’s statement that the firefighters found three “black boxes” for FBI agents.
Ben Veniste, Richard: A 9/11 Commissioner who had worked for the
Department of Justice. See Condoleezza Rice.
Phil Berg: Former Deputy Attorney General, State of Pennsylvania. Originally helped Ellen
Mariani File a 62-page RICO [Racketeer Influenced and
Corrupt Organizations] Act complaint against members of the Bush
administration. Later filed the same suit against the administration on behalf
of William Rodriguez. Registered on the website www.patriotsquestion911.com
Biederman, Ron: Materials science professor confirmed the presence of eutectic
formations by examining steel samples from the WTC discovered by the FEMA
Building Performance Assessment. A eutectic compound is a mixture of two or
more substances (in this case sulfur and iron) that melts at the lowest
temperature of any mixture of its components.
Bloomberg,
Michael: According to the New York Times, New York
City Mayor Bloomberg failed to conduct an investigation into the WTC attack
response, yet the City of New York continued to hold hundreds of documents and
audio tapes recording the response of emergency services to the September 11
attacks on the WTC, which it said should never be released to the general
public. [NYT 7/23/02] Eventually a "compromise" was apparently
reached: In the final ruling, portions of the oral histories and tapes
containing the opinions and recommendations of the interviewees and dispatchers
will be redacted, "since such opinions and recommendations are to be
distinguished from factual material." Apparently the New York State
Supreme Court does not trust the opinions those it entrusted with the safety of
its citizens. The 9/11 Commission accepted this redacted material.
Bowman, Marion “Spike”: “Radical Fundamentalist Unit” (RFU) agent at FBI
headquarters, who was given the request from Minneapolis field agents to search
the contents of the laptop computer of Zacarias Moussaoui. Bowman
removed the portion of the Minneapolis request which associated Moussaoui with
al Quada through a rebel group in Chechnya. When the message was forwarded on
to the FBI Deputy General Council, on the basis of this edited request, the
Council said there was insufficient connection to al Quada to allow a search
warrant. In December 2002, Bowman was given an FBI award for “exceptional
performance”. [COD 92-93]
Bowman, Robert, Ph. D.: USAF Colonel (Retired). A former combat pilot and
director of the Star Wars program, and recipient of many awards, and an
outspoken 911 Truth Advocate, Bowman ran for President in 2004, and is running
for congress in 2008. Registered on the website www.patriotsquestion911.com. He
has announced he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, due to combat exposure
to Agent Orange during the Vietnam War.
Breitweiser, Kristen: Member of the outspoken “Jersey Girl” group,
consisting of Mindy Kleinberg, Patty Casazza, and Lorie Van
Auken. It was the
Jersey Girls who were the driving force behind an independent Commission, and
got the 9/11 Omission Report instead. Breitweiser commented on the fact that
the various staff reports, many of which found their way into the final report,
had been cleared by the White House , and that
chapters from the final report had been cleared by the Department of
Justice [Shaun Waterman; UPI]: “This process allows the administration, in the
name of protecting national security,
to hide information.”(COD)
Brouillet, Carol: One of the most effective and outspoken of 911 Truth activists. She
has organized numerous large scale 911 Truth events, in San Francisco,
including the First International Citizens Inquiry into 9-11, held March 2004.
She is also responsible for www.communitycurrency.org,
which
deals with Community Currency, local currency, global economics, 9-11, gift
economy, media deception, and
government deception. Carol is also running for Congress for
California’s 14th Congressional District.
Brown, Laura: Deputy in Public Affairs at FAA headquarters. In a memo sent on May 22
2003, Brown stated that “within minutes after the first aircraft (flight 11)
hit the World Trade Center, the FAA “immediately established several phone
bridges that included FAA field facilities and Command Center, FAA
Headquarters, DOD, the Secret Service, and other government agencies.” Since
flight 11 hit the North Tower at about 8:47, the teleconference must have begun
about 8:50. The FAA shared in real time the unfolding of all events during the
attacks. The 9/11 commission said the phone bridge began at 9:20, one half hour
later, based on a written FAA report, which had been turned over not to the
NTSB, as is customary, but to the FBI [and thus could have been altered].
Brzezinski ,
Zbigniew: Former national security advisor under Jimmy
Carter, and author of The Grand Chessboard: America’s Primacy and It’s Geo
strategic Imperatives, (1997) which laid out a strategic plan for world
domination. The book was a study prepared for the Council on Foreign Relations
(CFR). [Rubicon 86] He wrote that the immediate task was to develop and control
a “direct external threat ”; to manufacture an attack “like a new Pearl
Harbor”. The need for the same kind of attack was mentioned by the Project for
a New American Century (PNAC) in it’s September 2000 report “Rebuilding
America’s Defenses”. Such an attack
would then provide a pretext for massive American military intervention in the
middle east. [Rubicon 575]
Bush, Marvin: G.W. Bush’s brother. He owned stock in and had served as director of
Stratesec, that handled security for three clients prominent in the attacks of
9-11: United Airlines, Dulles Airport, from which AA Flight 77 was hijacked,
and the World Trade Center. (COD)
Bush, G.W.: Sat in a Sarasota Florida grade school listening to a student read
about her pet goat while the World Trade Center was being attacked. Even after
allegedly being informed that “America is under attack” by “Chief of Staff”
Andrew card, Bush continued to sit for another 10 minutes. The fact that he was
not rushed to protection by the Secret Service has led some, such David Ray
Griffin, to argue convincingly that the Secret Service knew the president was
safe, i.e., knew the targets in advance. On January 5, 2002, Bush
stated: "First of all, when we walked into the classroom, I had seen this
plane fly into the first building. There was a TV set on. And you know, I
thought it was pilot error, and I was amazed that anybody could make such a
terrible mistake...."Problem is, the only video we possess of flight 11 hitting the North
(first) tower was only shown on the media the next day after the attacks. Bush
and Dick Cheney both urged senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle to
limit inquiries to the House and Senate Intelligence Committees. An “independent
commission” was finally mounted due to the enduring efforts of victim family
members. Bush insisted on the right to name the commission chairman: Henry
Kissinger, to “follow the facts no matter where they may lead” Facing
questions of potential conflict of interest,
Kissinger resigned. Bush next appointed Thomas Kean as chairman.
Butler, Steve: Air Force Lt. Col. Suspended from his post as Vice Chancellor of the
Defense Language institute in Monterey CA for writing a letter to his local
paper, calling Bush “a joke” and accusing him of allowing the attacks to
happen. (The military prohibits public
criticism of superiors) Registered on the website www.patriotsquestion911.com
Callaway, Dr. Terry: Alleged to be the surgeon who treated Bin Ladin at
an American hospital in Dubai in August 2001 [COD]
Cheney, Richard “Dick: Headed up the so called “Energy Task Force”, which
was, contrary to the law, held in Secret. (Any activity funded by public money
is by law required to be accessible to the public). Originally the Sierra Club
and Judicial Watch, a conservative watch dog group, as well as the Government
Accounting Office filed suit demanding full disclosure of what went on at these
task force meetings. The GAO finally backed out, under threat of loss of
budget. The last word is that circuit court judges have upheld Cheney’s right
to keep the contents of the meeting secret. Mike Ruppert has shown that some
documents obtained from FOIA requests were in fact maps of the middle east oil
rich regions. (Rubicon) Ruppert has also provided evidence to suggest that
Cheney was running a completely separate command and control system which
superceded any orders issued by the FAA, the Pentagon or the White House, and
was in charge of all the war games and field exercises which overlapped the
9/11 attacks and incapacitated our air defense. Cheney also shut down the Joint
Intelligence Committee investigation of 9/11 by claiming a “security breach,”
referencing two transmissions which had already been announced by the White
House.
Christison, Bill: Former senior official of the CIA. He was a National Intelligence
Officer and the Director of the CIA's Office of Regional and Political Analysis
before his retirement in 1979. Since then he has written numerous articles on
U.S. foreign policy. In an article Stop Belittling the Theories About
September 11 appearing at www.dissidentvoice.org,
in August 2006, Mr. Christison has shown support for the 911 Truth
Movement. Registered on the
website www.patriotsquestion911.com
Clark, Wesley General, US Army Retired. Former Commanding General of U.S.
European Command, which included all American military activities in the 89
countries and territories of Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Registered
on the website www.patriotsquestion911.com
Clarke, Richard: Former Chief of Counterterrorism in the Bush Administration. Wrote the
book Against All Enemies. Clarke alleges that the Bush Administration
basically rejected the conclusions that Clarke and his coworkers had reached,
without looking at the evidence. A number of inconsistencies have been noted
between Clarke’s book and the “9-11 Commission Report” regarding war games,
9/11 timeline and Myers/Rumsfeld Testimony. Although asked on a number of
occasions to address these inconsistencies (e.g. in letters from Kyle Hence of
9-11 Citizen’s Watch). Clarke has failed to do so. Clarke’s position is viewed by some as a “limited
hangout” for the Bush régime
Cleland, Max: Under an accord reached on Nov
12 2003 between the commission and the white house, only two members of the
10-member commission would have access to the full library of daily briefings
prepared in the Bush and Clinton [11/13/03
NY Times] Max Cleland’s response: "This is a scam, it's disgusting.
America is being cheated." [11/13/03 CNN with Wolf Blitzer: 9/11] In an
interview with Eric Boehlert of Salon, Cleland noted “The president’s …
decision compromised the mission of the 9/11 commission, pure and simple.”
"It is a national scandal." [11/21/03 salon.com] Immediately after his comments on CNN and
Salon, Cleland, was “approved” by Mr. Bush to serve on the board of the
Export-Import Bank. Because statutes governing the panel bar anyone who holds a
federal job, he had to leave the commission. [Washington Times] Cleland, a
triple amputee of the Viet Nam era, was a US senator during the attacks. Registered
on the website www.patriotsquestion911.com
Clifton, Charles: Technical expert in determining the effects of severe fire and
earthquake on steel framed buildings. He believed that fire could not possibly
have caused the towers to collapse. Still, he supports the official story
regarding their collapse.
Corley, Gene: VP of CTL engineering, testified before the Science Committee of the
House of Representatives that resources allocated to support the FEMA WTC
“Building Performance Assessment (BPA)” were about 1 million. He noted “In our opinion, 40 million would be
sufficient.”.
Daschle, Tom: Senate Majority Leader in 2001; Asked individually by both Cheney and
Bush that 9-11 inquiries be limited to the Joint Intelligence Committee
investigation. [May 26 2002 edition of Meet the Press] Daschle though, called
for an independent commission. He also allowed opposition to the Patriot act;
and soon after his office received an anthrax letter.
Dayton, Mark: In a 2004? story published by Greg Gordon, Star Tribune Washington Bureau Correspondent, the Minnesota Senator Dayton said NORAD officials "lied to the American people, they lied to Congress and they lied to your 9/11 commission to create a false impression of competence, communication and protection of the American people." He told Kean and Hamilton that if the commission's report is correct, President Bush "should fire whoever at FAA, at NORAD ... betrayed their public trust by not telling us the truth." Mark Dayton became silent, but in 2006, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, co-chairs of the former 911 Commission raised this issue loudly in the media. Registered on the website www.patriotsquestion911.com
DeMasi,
Nicholas: A firefighter for Engine Co 261, FDNY. He
states in the commemorative book Behind the Scenes Ground Zero, by Gail
Swanson, “At one point I was assigned to take federal agents around the site to
search for the black boxes from the planes. …There were a total of four black
boxes. We found three.” The FBI denies that the WTC Flight Data Computers
were recovered, even though the NTSB has informally stated that they have
worked on them. [http://www.counterpunch.org/lindorff12202005.html]
De Masi was in charge of a whole fleet of All Terrain Vehicle (ATV)s which were
in use for assisting rescue operations at the WTC. His story was corroborated
by Mike Bellone, who was made an
honorary firefighter. The credibility of the firefighters would be hard to dispute.
Dewdney, Alexander K. [1]Member of S.P.I.N.E. [Canadian “Scientific Panel Investigating Nine-Eleven”] According to his website, Dewdney is a professor of computer science at the University of Western Ontario, a mathematician, environmental scientist, and author. In 2003, he posted a detailed extension of the Valentine-Plissken Hypothesis on the internet, which he titled Operation Pearl, after Pearl Harbor. The Valentine-Plissken Hypothesis argues the following: soon after the hijacking, occupants of AA Flights 11 and 77 and UA Flight 175 were all secretly loaded into UA Flight 93, which was shot down over Pennsylvania. Flights 11 and 175 were substituted with remote controlled craft that crashed into the World Trade Center. Flight 77 was substituted with a fighter or cruise missile which crashed into the Pentagon. The remaining three commercial airliners were scuttled at sea. Dewdney built his reputation as a 9/11 researcher on the idea that the cell-phone calls from aircraft above a few thousand feet were not generally possible, and therefore the cell phone calls attributed to passengers of the hijacked airplanes were faked.
Eberhard, General Ralph E.: Currently (2005) head of the
US Space Command and Commander of NORAD, now and at the time of the 9-11
attacks.
Edmonds, Sibel: Began working for the FBI
as a Middle Eastern language specialist shortly after 9/11. She observed
and reported criminal conduct against our national interests, potential
espionage, serious security breaches threatening our intelligence, intentional
mistranslation, and blocking of intelligence. After being threatened by the FBI for reporting these allegations, she gained the
confidence of the Senate Judiciary Committee, especially Senators Grassley and Patrick
Leahy, and the FBI publicly confirmed many of her allegations. She was
subsequently fired from the FBI and in
turn filed suit. Documents were retroactively classified, and Attorney General John
Ashcroft proclaimed all aspects of her case were held to be “state
secrets”, and placed a gag order on her
to not speak on these subjects. Court battles continue. Registered on

Fetzer, James, Ph. D.: Cofounder with Steven
Jones of Scholars For 911 Truth. In the autumn of 2006, a rift in this organization occurred. Fetzer has
retained Scholars for 911 Truth, and Jones has formed Scholars for 911 Truth
and Justice. Both groups are accessed by http://www.scholarsfor911truth.org
Fitts, Catherine Austin: Former Assistant Secretary for Housing-Federal Housing
Commissioner under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
Founded Hamilton Securities, which developed software which showed how
money flowed in communities. Because of resulting revelations in how HUD money worked in areas of heavy drug trafficking in LA, her offices were shut down and the

small scale community economies. Registered on the website www.patriotsquestion911.com
Flocco, Tom: Pioneer 911 Truth
Researcher. Coordinated with Kyle Hence in the months after 9-11, and went on
to found an independent web news service, www.tomflocco.com,
which provided much early information on the attacks.
Fraska, Dave: Probable CIA covert agent
within FBI, responsible for at least 5 incidents of deliberate, willful
suppression of evidence and investigations that could have prevented 911,
including the Robert Wright, Kenneth Williams, and Colleen Rowley
incidents, after which he was promoted. (Rubicon)
Freeh, Louis J.: FBI director until just prior to the 9-11 attacks. Registered on the website www.patriotsquestion911.com
Garvey, Jane: Head of the FAA at the time
of the 9-11 attacks. She reported during the attacks that as many as 11 planes
may have been hijacked.
Giuliani, Rudolph: Former mayor of New York
City. During the attacks of 9-11, he was in the “Emergency Command Center” on
the 23rd floor of building 7. He told the Kean Commission “we were
operating out of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was gonna
collapse, and it did collapse before we could get out of the building.” The
commission did not question Giuliani on his statement. (Who told him the
towers were going to collapse, and how
could they have known this? David Ray
Griffin, The 9-11 Commission Report:
Omissions and Distortions.
Gorelick, Jamie: With ties to the CIA and FBI,
Commissioner on the “Independent 911 Commission.” She, as well as Executive
Director Philip Zelikow were revealed to be so closely involved in the
events under investigation that they were interviewed as part of the inquiry.
Both were the “two Committee members” permitted unrestricted access to the full
archive of Presidents Day Briefings.
Goss, Porter: Chair of the House
Intelligence Committee and co-chair of the Joint Intelligence Committee
investigation of the attacks of 9/11. Became Director of the CIA after George
Tenet resigned. Goss resigned in May 2006, and was replaced by Michael V.
Hayden, USAF.
Graham, Bob: Chair of the Senate
Intelligence Committee and co-chair of the Joint Intelligence Committee
investigation of the attacks of 9/11. According to NEWSWEEK, he decided to run
for president in 2004. Graham says he became 'outraged' by the
intelligence and law-enforcement failures discovered by the inquiry - most of
which, he charges, are still being suppressed by the Bush administration. Author of Intelligence
Matters, which discusses the FBI and Administration’s blocking of the Joint
Commission’s staff investigation. Registered on the website www.patriotsquestion911.com
Grand, Donn De: Former high-ranking Pentagon
official chaired an independent inquiry into 9/11 by a group of military and
civilian U.S. pilots. After deliberating non-stop for 72 hours, the
group concluded that the flight crews of the four passenger airliners involved
in the September 11th tragedy had no control over their aircraft. In a detailed
press communiqué the inquiry stated: “The so-called terrorist attack was in
fact a superbly executed military operation carried out against the USA,
requiring the utmost professional military skill in command, communications and
control. It was flawless in timing, in the choice of selected aircraft to be
used as guided missiles and in the coordinated delivery of those missiles to
their pre-selected targets.” De Grand has since written a number of family
published books on the background and events of 9/11.
Griffin, David Ray Ph. D.: Dr. Griffin is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy of Religion and Theology,
at the Claremont School of Theology in California. and has written 30 books. He is the author of three
highly acclaimed books debunking the official story on 9-11: The New Pearl
Harbor, The 9/11 Commission
Report: Omissions and Distortions, and Debunking 9/11 Debuking.
Grimmer, D.P.: Wrote a paper published on www.physics911.org version [1.0, 23 Nov 2003] which considered the possible use of thermite to melt sections of the WTC inner core columns. The paper estimated the mass and volume of thermite necessary to allow melting, and concluded that it would have been physically possible to deliver this quantity of thermite to the WTC towers.
Hamilton, Bill: Creator of PROMIS software.
[Rubicon]
Hamilton, Lee: Vice chair of
the US “9/11 Commission” with Thomas Kean. Both Kean and Hamilton assert in their
book Without
Precedent, that they
were "set up to fail" and were starved of funds to do a proper
investigation. They also confirm that they were denied access to the truth and
misled by senior officials in the Pentagon and the federal aviation authority.
Some claim their book is a “limited hangout.”
Hanjour, Hani: Credited by the official
story with crashing flight 77 into the Pentagon after a difficult 330 degree
turn beginning 5 miles out, and descending seven thousand feet in 2.5 minutes.
The Washington Post said the pilot “executed a pivot so tight that it reminded
observers of a fighter jet maneuver… Aviation sources said the plane was flown
with extraordinary skill”. Yet flight
instructors who trained Honjour described him as a terrible pilot. These facts
were duly noted by the 9-11 Commission in its report, but failed to address the
inconsistencies.
Harel, Joel: Experienced Canadian
commercial airline pilot and member of S.P.I.N.E. who has written an excellent
article appearing on the web site physics911 public Site, The article, titled The Impossibility of
Flying Heavy Aircraft Without Training, explores the grave difficulty of the
alleged terrorists even finding their targets, once they hijacked the airplanes.
For some reason this article was pulled from the internet.
Hass, Ed: Professional writer and editor of the Muckraker Report (http://teamliberty.net/). In June 2006, he
contacted the FBI. to learn why Bin Laden's Most Wanted poster did not indicate that he was also wanted in
connection with 9/11. He spoke with Rex Tomb, Chief of Investigative Publicity
for the FBI, who said the FBI has no
hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11. This despite Bush Administration press
that Osama Bin Laden was Public Enemy Number One, and the Bin Laden
"confession" video, used to drum up public support for the War on
Afghanistan and Iraq.
Hence, Kyle: Pioneer in the 911 Truth Movement. Founded one of the earliest websites dedicated to 911truth: www.unansweredquestions.org. He was also instrumental in setting up perhaps the first 911 public media event: “9-11 and the Public Safety: Seeking Answers and Accountability” held on June 10 2002 at the National Press Club in Washington DC.
Hersh, Seymour: Legendary investigative
reporter. According to an article he published in The New Yorker, “many
investigators believe that some of the initial clues that were uncovered about
the terrorist’s identities and preparations, such as flight manuals, were meant
to be found.” A former high-level intelligence official told me, “whatever
trail was left was left deliberately- for the FBI to chase” COD
Hill, Ellinor: Joint Intelligence
Committee Staff Director
Hilton, Stanley G. A San Francisco based attorney, political Scientist, author, and a
former chief of staff for Bob Dole. Hilton gained notoriety for filing a $7
billion class action lawsuit, in 2002, against
George W. Bush, members of his administration (including Condollezza Rice,
Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and others. The lawsuit claimed 400 plaintiffs
including families of 9/11 victims, with only a few named plaintiffs. The
lawsuit alleged Bush administration complicity in allowing the September 11
2001 attacks to happen. The case was thrown out of federal court over two years
later, in 2006; the judge ruling [2]
that US citizens do not have any right to sue a sitting President, based on the
" Doctrine of Sovereign Immunity." Although he has been supported by
911review.org,[3] he, as well as Alex Jones have been severely
criticized by Mike Ruppert for inaccuracies in their statements.[4]
Hoffman, Jim: One of the first 911 truth
activists to concentrate on the technical questions of the collapse of the WTC
buildings. He is closely affiliated with several web sites dealing with
technical issues, including www.wtc7.net/
and http://911research.wtc7.net/
Hufschmid, Eric: The first person out with
excellent photos, videos, and an analysis of the New York and Pentagon attacks.
His book Painful Questions, and video/DVD Painful Deceptions are
classics in the 911 Truth Movement.
Ingersoll, Jason, Cpl: Photographed the west wing
of the pentagon just before the façade collapsed on 9/11/2001. The photo shows
a rather small hole, with no visible marks showing wing, engine, or vertical
stabilizer impact. This photo has caused some skepticism of the notion that the
façade was struck by a 757.
Jones, Alex: One of the most outspoken
and arguably effective internet media 911 Truth advocates. He hosts the Alex
Jones show, and www.prisonplanet.com/
Jones, Steven, Ph. D.: This Tenured
physics professor at Brigham Young University, became one of the first members
of academia to question the official story on the collapse of the WTC
buildings. He has written several “peer reviewed” articles on the collapses,
and together with Professor James Fetzer formed Scholars for 911 Truth.
Jones has assembled evidence to suggest that the WTC towers, as well as
Building 7, were brought down with the help of a combination of sulfur, which
lowers the melting temperature of steel, forming a eutectic compound, and
thermite which burns at a very high temperature. Jones and his peers have discovered trace materials of these explosives
in analyzed pieces of steel from the collapse. In autumn 2006, Scholars For 911
Truth splintered. Fetzer has retained Scholars for 911 Truth, and Jones has
formed Scholars for 911 Truth and Justice. Both groups are accessed by http://www.scholarsfor911truth.org
Kean, Thomas: Former New
Jersey governor appointed to Chair the so called “Independent Commission” to
investigate the terrorist attacks upon the United States. On December 17, 2003
Kean announced that the attacks could and should have been prevented, and was
pointing fingers inside the administration and laying blame. "There are
people that, if I was doing the job, would certainly not be in the position
they were in at that time because they failed. They simply failed." Kean
also promised major revelations in public testimony beginning in January 2004
from top officials in the FBI, CIA, Defense Department, National Security
Agency. Kean’s announcement was never realized. Kean’s
commission assumed the official story, in essence, that al Quada was solely
responsible for the attacks of 9-11, without the help or knowledge on any other
entity, was true. Kean has links with Delta Oil of Saudi Arabia, which is owned
by Saudi families charged at various times with funding al Qaeda.. He is also
on he board of the “National Endowment
for Democracy”, whose goal, according to Webster Tarpley, is the fascist
corporate state.
Both Kean and 9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton
assert in their book Without
Precedent, that they
were "set up to fail" and were starved of funds to do a proper
investigation. They also confirm that they were denied access to the truth and
misled by senior officials in the Pentagon and the federal aviation authority.
Some claim their book is a “limited hangout.”
Kissinger, Henry: Named as the first Chairman
of the so called “Independent Commission” by G.W. Bush. Robert Scheer,
Los Angeles Times: “. . .Long an unabashed advocate of concealing and
distorting the truth in the name of national security, [Kissinger] is the last
guy who has the right to ask someone in government, "What did you know and
when did you know it?" A New York Times editorial suggested Kissinger was
appointed “to contain an investigation it has long opposed” [11/29/02 NYT]
Kleinberg, Mindy: One of the four “Jersey Girls”; (outspoken wives of husbands killed in the 9-11 attacks). Kleinberg has been considered one of the leading spokespersons for victim families. She is most noted for her eloquent testimony to the 9/11 Commission first public hearing March 31, 2003. “With regard to the 9/11 attacks, it has been said that the intelligence agencies have to be right 100% of the time and the terrorists only have to get lucky once. This explanation for the devastating attacks of September 11th, simple on its face, is wrong in its value. Because the 9/11 terrorists were not just lucky once: they were lucky over and over again.” She then proceeded to describe numerous instances of peculiar terrorist “luck”, including the delays in air defense support which otherwise could have stopped the attack.
Kleinsmith, Eric: A major with the Army and chief of intelligence for LIWC until

apparently his first day on the job, at the request of Brigadier General Montegue
Winfield, Director of Operations for NMCC. Winfield actually asked Leidig
to take over at 8:20 am, 15 minutes after flight 11 had shown the standard

had a coherent plan for evacuating the injured. This information came from the
so-called “Lost audiotape.” This audiotape was important, because confirms that the crash zone
was not a raging inferno, and that the firefighters apparently believed they
were in control of the situation. Interestingly,

The 9/11 Commission had invited Rice to testify. She declined,
with the White House citing concerns about “separation of powers”. Eventually
she testified for 2.5 hours. Her testimony contained numerous contradictions
and “mistruths”. For example, regarding the August 6 Presidents Daily Briefing

Presidential Daily Briefing received on August 6, [responding to Ben Veniste]

terrorism at the FBI, in favor of more traditional law enforcement. And,

Rodriguez, William: Rodriguez, 44, worked at
the WTC for 20 years as a janitor. He was in an office on sub-level 1 when the
north tower was hit by flight 11. "When I heard the sound of the
explosion, the floor beneath my feet vibrated, the walls started cracking and
it everything started shaking," said Rodriguez, who was huddled together
with at least 14 other people in the office. "Seconds after ….I hear
another explosion from way above," said Rodriguez. "Although I was
unaware at the time, this was the airplane hitting the tower …"
Subsequently Rodriguez helped to save
hundreds of people in the North tower,
by opening doors with a master key for fire fighters before he was
finally turned back at the 39th floor. Although initially considered
a hero, he soon concluded that the explosions occurring before flight 11 hit
the tower proved the towers were brought down by controlled demolition. As of 2005, he is being represented by
Attorney Phil Berg in a RICO law suit against GW Bush and his administration.
In summer of 1995 Rodriguez and Phil Berg joined millionaire Jimmy Walter

Walter, Jimmy: Multi-millionaire dedicated to 911 Truth. Walter has planed to place about $2.5 million in 911 Truth ads in major US Newspapers and magazines, and funded the jam-packed Omission Commission in Manhattan: The resulting “ Confronting the Evidence - a call to reopen the 9/11 investigation.” was made into a DVD which is available at his website: reopen911.org, where the public can sign a petition to congress to reopen the 911 investigation.

Weldon, Kurt: US Representative from Iowa in 2005. Weldon is a whistleblower of sorts, for getting the story of Able Danger into the media. He determined that Able Danger was an Army data mining program run in 1999 and 2000 under the auspices of the Special Operations Command and the Land Information Warfare Center (LIWC). According to Weldon, in September 2000 the Able Danger team initiated at least three separate efforts to get its information on the hijackers to the FBI "so they could bring that cell in and take out the terrorists." That was one year before 9/11. About 2.5 tetrabytes of data were ordered destroyed in may June 2000 and the Pentagon has prevented members of the Able Danger team, including Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer from testifying in an open hearing, despite the fact that Able Danger dealt with open-sourced, unclassified information. Registered on the website www.patriotsquestion911.com
Montegue Winfield: Brigadier General and
Director of Operations for NMCC. On 9-11.Winfield asked novice Captain Charles
Leidig to take over at 8:30 am, 15 minutes after flight 11 had shown the
standard signs of a hijacking. Investigative journalist Tom Flocco reported
that for taking the day off, President Bush nominated Winfield for promotion to
the two star rank of Major General. [COD p 236]
Winokur, Pug: Chaired Enron finance
committee, and escaped notice. Lead investor in and creator of DynCorp that has
lucrative vaccine and bio-warfare contracts.(Rubicon)
Williams, Kenneth: As result of 7 year
investigation, Issued memo to FBI HQ
requesting a national survey of aviation schools to see if large numbers of
middle Eastern students were enrolled. His request was denied.
Wood, Judy, PhD.: Demonstrated by
mathematical modeling that a floor by floor collapse of the trade center
towers, as was claimed by the official story, would have taken much longer
(about 97 seconds) than the actual observed time of 9-16 seconds, which is
essentially the time of building
freefall. As of the fall of 2006, Professor Wood has been exploring the
controversial theory that direct energy weapons could have been used to bring
down the twin towers.
Wright, Robert: The only agent in FBI
history to have conducted an investigation of terrorists that resulted in a
seizure of financial assets. His investigation was shut down by the FBI. In a
memorandum he warned 91 days before 9-11 that Americans would die as a result
of the Bureau’s failure to adequately peruse investigations of terrorists
living in this country. He noted that FBI management repeatedly thwarted and
obstructed his attempts to expand his investigation to arrest other terrorists
and seize their assets. He was ordered not to discuss what he knew, and was
threatened with criminal prosecution if he talked. His name was smeared by the
FBI, and he was ordered not to defend himself. (Rubicon)
Yamasaki, Minoru: Architect commissioned to design the World Trade Center with the
New York firm of Emery Roth and Sons.
Yousef, Ramzi: Along with Khalid Shaikh
Mohammed is said to have masterminded the bombing of the World Trade Center in
1993, and “Project Bojinka”, discovered by Philippine police on a computer
after they thwarted a plan to blow up a Philippine airliner. Bojinka was to fly
airplanes into the World Trade Center, the White House, CIA Headquarters, etc.
After the attacks, a Philippine investigator reportedly said “Its Bojinka…We
told the Americans everything about Bojinka. Why didn’t they pay attention?

Zaid, Mark: Represents two members of
the clandestine unit that identified Mohammed Atta and three other 9/11
hijackers as threats a year before the attacks. Zaid testified that all Able
Danger records were destroyed under orders of the Army between December 2000
and March 2001. Additionally, duplicate documentation maintained by Lt Col.
Shaffer at his office was also destroyed -- for reasons unknown -- by DIA in
Spring 2004.
Zelikow, Phillip: Executive Director of the
Kean Commission. A member of the transition team from the Clinton to Bush
administrations, he also co-authored a book with Condoleezza Rice. The
transition involved downgrading the importance and visibility of the
Counter-Terrorism Security Group. It was
revealed on January 15, 2004 that both Zelikow and Jamie Gorelick, a commission
member, were both still so closely involved in the events under investigation
that they have been interviewed as part of the inquiry. As Executive Director,
Zelikow retained the power to hire all Commission staff and coordinate the flow
of Kean's investigation. He also had access to all testimony-and managed all upcoming
witnesses, document requests and subpoenas. [11/21/03 www.tomflocco.com] Victim
families complained of Zelikow’s conflicts of interest in an Oct. 3 2003 letter
to the Commission, but were rebuffed. [10/14/03 Washington Post] Zelikow gave a lecture at
the Miller Center at UVA on October 14, titled, "The Road From 9/11."
He was asked by Thomas Hansen, PhD, why the commission and the staff didn’t
simply release photos and other information to the public to put an end to
numerous conspiracy theories. His answer, according to Hansen, was that the
staff, including himself of course as Executive Director, made a conscious
decision not to dignify these "outrageous conspiracy theories" by
investigating them or reporting on them. This is consistent with David Ray
Griffin’s charge that the 9/11 commission acted as a filter, choosing what
would and what would not be admitted as evidence. Zelikow co-authored a 1998 Foreign
Affairs article on the likely political and cultural effects of a massive
Pearl Harbor style terrorist event such as the destruction of the World Trade
Center. In that article, Zelikow noted that such a mythic event would split
time into a before and an after. The after, of course, was the “whole new
world” of post-9/11 terror hysteria.
Zwicker, Barrie: Host
of the Canadian TV show, "VisionTV Insight: Mediafile”, Barrie was the
first of only a few North American journalists to offer an alternative
viewpoint on the Sept. 11 tragedy. His The Great Deception video and the The Great Conspiracy DVD are considered
classics in 911 Truth studies. In June of 2007, the Independent Publisher Book Awards
were announced. There were 2,690 entries from 50 US states, eight Canadian
provinces and 17 overseas countries, in 65 categories. Barrie won a Gold Award (first place) in
Category 34: Current Events for his
book Towers of Deception: The Media Cover-Up of 9/11.
