Former President Jimmy Carter Supports Call For New 9/11 Investigation 300109top

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has become the latest, and perhaps most prominent, public figure to express support for a new investigation into the 9/11 attacks.

We Are Change Ohio attended a book signing by the former President in Chicago. Despite the best efforts of secret service personnel to abduct the person recording the conversation, the audio of Carter’s words were still captured.

Carter was asked, “I was just wondering if you’d support the victims’ family members that want a new investigation into 9/11.”

Carter clarifies the question before responding, “Yeah, I don’t have anything to do with it but I certainly would….it would be nice.

In October 2004, Carter told the London Guardian newspaper that President Bush exploited the 9/11 attacks and that the press had not held him to account.

“The basic reason is that our country suffered, in 9/11, a terrible and shocking attack … and George Bush has been adroit at exploiting that attack, and he has elevated himself, in the consciousness of many Americans, to a heroic commander in chief, fighting a global threat against America,” Carter said.

“He’s repeatedly played that card, and to some degree quite successfully. I think that success has dissipated,” he added. 

Carter responded to the atmosphere at the time by slamming the notion that questioning Bush’s actions was unpatriotic.

His rebuke for media cowardice about asking tough questions about the “war on terror” was also stinging.

“The press have been cowed, because they didn’t want to be unpatriotic. There has been a lack of inquisitive journalism. In fact, it’s hard to think of a major medium in the United States that has been objective and fair and balanced, and critical when criticism was deserved,” said Carter.

Carter’s support for a new investigation into 9/11 has been echoed by innumerable prominent public figures both in and out of politics over the last few years.

Former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura, former Italian President Francesco Cossiga, UK MP Michael Meacher, Japanese MP Fujita Yukihisa, former German Defense Secretary Andreas von Buelow, music icon Willie Nelson, and even vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin have all expressed support for a new inquiry into the September 2001 attacks.

FDNY Lieutenant Admitted Plan To ‘Take Down’ WTC 7

Posted in 9/11, Cover-up! by burningbabylon on December 23, 2008

Reinforcing conviction that Silverstein was referring to demolition with infamous comments on PBS documentary

Newly uncovered video from 9/11 featuring an interview with FDNY lieutenant David Rastuccio on MSNBC confirms that there was a plan to deliberately demolish WTC Building 7, as was originally indicated in Larry Silverstein’s infamous statement on the PBS documentary, America Rebuilds.

In the clip, Rastuccio responds to the host’s statement that “You guys knew this was coming all day,” by stating, “We had first reports that the building was unstable and that it was best for it to come down on its own or it would be taken down, I would imagine that it came down on its own.”

Though Rastuccio expresses his opinion that the building had collapsed without the aid of explosives, he admits that a plan had been in place to deliberately demolish the structure.

Watch the clip.

This reinforces the fact that when Larry Silverstein infamously told a 2002 PBS documentary that a consideration had been made to “pull it,” which is a demolition industry term for deliberate implosion, he did indeed mean that WTC 7 was considered for deliberate demolition.

This would mean that Silverstein’s later qualification of his comments, that “pull it” simply meant to pull the firefighters out of the building, despite FEMA’s assertion that no firefighting operations even took place inside WTC 7, was an outright lie intended to deflect possible ramifications arising out of the $7 billion dollar payout Silverstein received in insurance after the WTC complex was destroyed.

Numerous other eyewitnesses have come forward to express their conviction that WTC 7 was deliberately demolished.

Emergency Medical Technician Indira Singh described to a radio show how she learned that WTC 7 was going to be “brought down” and the context was clear that it was to be deliberately demolished.

“After midday on 9/11 we had to evacuate that because they told us Building 7 was coming down. If you had been there, not being able to see very much just flames everywhere and smoke – it is entirely possible – I do believe that they brought Building 7 down because I heard that they were going to bring it down because it was unstable because of the collateral damage,” said Singh.

Former Air Force Special Operations for Search and Rescue expert Kevin McPadden also reported his conviction that a countdown preceded the collapse of the building.

“While we were on the right side, there was firefighters getting ready, they were bussing them back and forth, and a couple of vets that were there – they got the vibe that something was coming down,” said McPadden.

“We started asking questions, everybody started asking questions, and the next thing you know there was a Red Cross representative pacing back and forth in front of the crowd holding his hand over the radio – I couldn’t hear what it was saying but it was like pulsed – whatever the speech was on there it was pulsed – and that means to me most likely it was a countdown.”

“But he took his hand off at the last three seconds and he gave this heartfelt look – like just run for your life – because he didn’t want to bring it on his conscience – he didn’t want to go to his grave with that – and then we had a couple of seconds to put our heads together,” said McPadden.

Former NYPD officer Craig Bartmer also reported hearing bombs tear down WTC 7 as he ran away from its collapse.

Several TV news networks received advance knowledge that the building was likely to collapse, with both the BBC and CNN reporting at least 26 minutes in advance that the building had already collapsed when it still stood.

Rastuccio’s newly uncovered comments about a plan to demolish Building 7 are likely to provoke a firestorm of fresh suspicion surrounding the implosion of the structurally reinforced 47-story skyscraper, which collapsed in 7 seconds within its own footprint despite suffering relatively minor damage from the collapse of the twin towers.

Barack Obama plans major address in Islamic capital

President-Elect Barack Obama will try to ‘reboot’ America’s image in the Muslim world with a ‘major address’ in an Islamic capital.

Mr Obama said that he will travel to a Muslim country soon after he is sworn into office at his inauguration on Jan 20 using his full name Barack Hussein Obama.

“I think we’ve got a unique opportunity to reboot America’s image around the world and also in the Muslim world in particular,” he told the Chicago Tribune.

Mr Obama promised he had an “unrelenting” desire to “create a relationship of mutual respect and partnership in countries and with peoples of good will who want their citizens and ours to prosper together.”

The world “is ready for that message”, he added.

While he described a fresh approach to diplomacy, Mr Obama said his administration would not shrink from the struggle against terrorism, referring to the recent attacks on India’s financial capital Mumbai.

“The message I want to send is that we will be unyielding in stamping out the terrorist extremism we saw in Mumbai,” said Mr Obama, who gave the interview from his transition team’s offices in Chicago.

The Tribune reported that Mr Obama “plans to give a major address in an Islamic capital as part of his global outreach” but did not quote him directly.

During the presidential campaign, some of Mr Obama’s political opponents would refer to his middle name in an attempt to portray him as a secret Muslim.

But the Christian President-elect said he would follow tradition for the inauguration ceremony.

“I think the tradition is that they use all three names, and I will follow the tradition,” Mr Obama said. “I’m not trying to make a statement one way or another. I’ll do what everybody else does.”

At the Osaka 9/11 Truth International Conference on Nov. 1, 2008, The Corbett Report conducted an interview with Etsuko Chida, a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees worker who was in Kandahar on 9/11. In this stunning interview, she questions the official 9/11 conspiracy theory, raising the points that Osama and Al Qaeda were CIA founded and funded, and that it is more beneficial for the US if the boogeyman Osama is not captured.

Internet attacks on 9/11 Truth intensify

Posted in 9/11 by burningbabylon on September 22, 2008

James Corbett
The Corbett Report
September 22, 2008

Internet censorship is once again in the news after legendary YouTube user Nuffrespect posted a new video detailing the latest online attack on 9/11 Truth: a user who is creating clones of respected user accounts and truth movement leaders in order to smear 9/11 Truth by posting racist comments. These have already led to the deletion of several well-known accounts in what has been revealed as a coordinated effort to eliminate 9/11 Truth from YouTube.

This is in addition to the news that YouTube deleted a number of videos and accounts last week at the behest of Senator Joe Lieberman.

That CNET admits these videos were removed as a direct result of Lieberman’s staff’s request is significant, as it was Lieberman who has been urging YouTube to take down “radicalizing” terrorist propaganda since May of this year to bring it into compliance with H.R. 1955, a bill that is currently awaiting approval by the Senate and which would criminalize all dissent of the government. That H.R. 1955 will specifically target the 9/11 Truth community is made obvious by a presentation made to the House Homeland Security Subcommittee in 2007 on “Terrorism and the Internet” which actually listed 9/11 Truth sites alongside terrorist jihad sites as examples of terrorist propaganda on the internet.

At first, YouTube executives made a show of standing up to Lieberman and his tyrannical dictates. “While we respect and understand his views, YouTube encourages free speech and defends everyone’s right to express unpopular points of view,” a message posted on YouTube said at the time.

Evidently that was mere PR and GooTube—bought out by Google last year—is now showing its roots as a spook-infested CIA front that functions as a virtual branch of government. Now with no warning and little fanfare, they have silently started implementing the government’s agenda of taking 9/11 Truth and other forms of dissent off of the premiere video-sharing site.

All of this comes on the heels of numerous blows to free speech on the internet over the preceeding weeks. At the beginning of September, Comcast—America’s second-largest internet provider—announced it would set a hard bandwidth limit on its customers in a move that will limit the ability of users to exchange large amounts of data. This of course sets the precedent for other providers to follow suit and it may not be long before the major internet providers are able to squeeze customers’ ability to exchange information on the internet in the name of cutting down on bandwidth usage.

Also this month, reports emerged of a shadowy United Nations group known as “Q6/17″ which is working with China and the NSA to develop a system to trace the source of all internet communications. Of course, as the linked article points out, such a feature would be useless as all serious hacking attempts these days rely on spoofed addresses in the first place and such traceback features are likely to be used by the very people they are designed to detect. But perhaps creating chaos on an internet that is increasingly becoming an overglorified wiretap is itself part of a much larger plan.

The 911 movement is alive, well and kicking in New York and beyond!

Thursday, Sept 18, 2008

On Thursday, 9/11/08, I joined WeAreChange.org at about 11:30 a.m. for the march and speeches that would begin around noon.

If I had apprehensions about the march, they were eased by the people I met. Optimistic, well informed, open, they were ready to face a harassing lunatic fringe and/or provocateurs with a healthy dose of humor or equal edge. Believe it or not, the legion of cops seemed bent on protecting us as well. Perhaps after seven years of listening to 9/11 Truth some had sunk in. Also, WeAreChange’s special fund-raising effort, “First Responders First,” made friends on the blue side as well with firemen and EMTs.

In fact in February, when our beloved President Bush reneged on health care funding, he cut 77 percent of it for 9/11 first responders, from $108 million to $25 million. These were the men he grandstanded with on 9/11, praising them for their courage and service to America. On March 16, Senator Hillary Clinton helped passed the 2009 budget resolution to restore these and other severe cuts to 9/11 healthcare.

Whether or not these resolutions will hold in November after the election is another story. But on this day, “First Responders first” was part of the agenda. In fact, I wrote about their plight in 9/11’s second round of slaughter, a review of Heidi Dehncke-Fisher’s film documentary, Dust to Dust: the health effects of 9/11. It will give you a good idea of what these people are dealing with.

In addition, WeAreChange gathered a greater diversity of participants, black, Latino, Asian, a rainbow of people to march. Also, WeAreChange young people had come from various chapters around the country, and they were gaining international followers as well.

The first person I talked to that morning was a man named John. He held a placard with a photo of his nephew who was lost in the North Tower while on his first job at a brokerage house. John seemed to be in his early 50s, and had come all the way from a Chicago suburb to be here. We started talking about events. I told him I wrote for Online Journal and supplied some pieces of information on 9/11 he hadn’t heard before.

Others overheard and asked questions. There was a man from Houston, Texas, who had brought his 16-year old daughter, her boyfriend, and another friend to experience the events and the March on 9/11. His daughter was interested in journalism and he wanted her to experience this. He wasn’t sure what had happened at Ground Zero but he knew that his America had changed and that we were losing our civil liberties at an alarming rate.

That’s why he and the kids were here. He was an accountant and knew about money and the market and we had a talk about the puts and calls debacle which earned hundreds of millions of dollars for traders who obviously had foreknowledge of what was about to happen on 9/11. He reminded me how Arthur Anderson had walked from the Enron debacle clean.

I pointed out the black-screened Deutsche Bank building where a good share of that trading took place. It was still not razed after seven years. It could not be taken down by internal demolition ironically because of all the pollutants detected in it. It had recently suffered a fire while being disassembled manually. Two firemen died because someone had removed the standpipe and started a fire, consciously or not.

The deconstruction had been done originally by the John Galt Company, a shell company with mob ties, like many of the construction companies now working in the former pit. They seemed to suck up billions while nothing but a partial foundation for “something” stood. My Texas friend just shook his head, and not in disbelief. What amazed him, he said, was the ceaseless greed that had overcome our country, the criminality in high and low places. How the takers never seemed to have enough.

He added that people back home were drilling private oil wells and refining enough crude to sell for less than market prices. The profits being made, even at low-ball prices, left these entrepreneurs with lots of cash. As he described it, they had bought every luxury item they could find, and were running out of places to bury more cash.

This was a problem most Americans would not have these days — including Lehman Brothers going bankrupt (with nearly 28,000 employees world-wide); and Fannie and Freddy on the Fed dole; and even AIG, looking for a multi-billion dollar bridge loan because it’s portfolio was downgraded with too much collateralized debt paper (not originally stated). As the teenagers joined us, and our new friend John, it was after noon, and we were told we were ready to move out and march.

And who would imagine that the Fed six days later on Sept. 17, as reported in the New York Times, would change its collective mind, “Fearing a financial crisis worldwide, the Federal Reserve reversed course on Tuesday and agreed to an $85 billion bailout that would give the government control of the troubled insurance giant American International Group.”

“The decision, only two weeks after the Treasury took over the federally chartered mortgage finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, is the most radical intervention in private business in the central bank’s history.” It seems the privatizing government of Bush would be nationalizing still another bleeding, mismanaged financial giant. Maybe I should ask, with all the other common and preferred stock holders of Fannie Mae, and bondholders of Lehman brothers, for the return of our money lost from our shrinking retirement funds.

The first stop

As we began to march, suddenly I realized that literally several thousand people had gathered, most of them young people. Appropriately, WeAreChange had invited hip-hop artists as well for a benefit the next night for the first responders. We formed a column that stretched out of sight. The police closed their ranks and we moved forward.

Our first stop was Larry Silverstein’s new Tower Seven on Vesey Street, across from where Tower One once proudly stood. Larry had used his $500 million profit in insurance to build a taller, wider, slicker version of the old T-7. This was the old smoking gun, the building he actually owned not leased. He had said at 3:20 p,m, on 9/11 that it would be “pulled.” After all, the illogic went, there was so much pain and suffering, “they” decided to pull it.

The fact that no plane hit T-7 is still little-known to many or that it was only hit by some flying girders from T-1 and that there were two fires on the north side of it, which were put out in two hours. Nevertheless, after an explosion heard by many who were near T-7 at 5 p.m., it fell neatly into its footprint within six seconds. The irony is that the collapse was announced on the BBC 20 minutes earlier, so somebody there must have had a copy of the 9/11 script.

Another marcher had David Griffin’s new book 911 Contradictions – An Open Letter to Congress and the Press, in which Griffin details reports that Michael Hess, New York City’s corporation counsel, had arrived at the 23rd floor Emergency Management Center of WTC 7 not long after the first hit. So had Barry Jennings arrived there then, as originally reported. He was deputy director of the Emergency Services Dept for the New York City Housing Authority. Both men experienced explosions on the 8th floor as they were walking down the steps from the abandoned EMC. They were rescued by firemen within an hour and a half. Read their full story in Griffin’s gripping book for something else that smells rotten in T-7 . . .

P.S. Who could have realized at that moment that Barry Jennings would be reported dead on 9/16/08 and that Alex Jones office would not even be able to contact the deceased’s family. Linked is this brave man’s testimony from infowars.com. Jennings was only 53 years old. His death came only days before the release of NIST’s whitewash report on WTC, “and shortly after a firestorm erupted over his testimony that he heard explosions inside the building prior to collapse of either tower and that there were dead bodies in the building’s blown-out lobby. I wonder if Michael Hess is next.

Next Stop Broadway

Returning to the chanting crowd, serving up “Truth now, 911,” and “9/11 was an inside job,” and back to “Pull it, Larry,” we invited Silverstein to join us on the streets, at least from wherever he was in his new building. Perhaps he wasn’t there at all as he wasn’t on the morning of 9/11/2001 — luckily at his doctor for a checkup. That’s Lucky Larry Silverstein.

But the fire of the marchers had been lit and the column spilled east towards Broadway among the afternoon crowds returning from lunch, on their way to business appointments, peering from cars, trucks and tourist buses. The protest line seemed to uncoil endlessly, stopping at various points, and then moving like a Chinatown New Year’s dragon. The sound of the chants, echoing through the narrow streets of skyscrapers had an amazing effect. It echoed through the caverns of Broadway and narrow side streets, ringing with our voices. It energized you to give up your “barbaric yawp,” as Whitman would say.

People opened their eyes to see what was going on. What was this endless line of people with the black t-shirts that said, “Investigate 911,” or “Ask questions, demand answers.” Who are these protestors rattling the cage of order. And what was this sensation of joy we were experiencing, getting it all off our chests and sending this cleansing vibe into still-polluted air.

If this was a movement of hard facts, scientific evidence and logic, it was also a movement of emotion, pain, suffering, for victims’ families, for all those who took up the torch, so often derided by the unknowing as conspiracy nuts, crazy, anti-American, etc. The fuel of mainstream ignorance was fed daily by the mainstream media, no mean competition even for the most potent truth. But here we were at the crossroads, not only of Broadway and Liberty, but of knowledge challenging ignorance, creating fear for some, liberation for others who thrust thumbs up. There was confusion for others trying to fathom if “9/11 was an inside job” could possibly be true. For these folks it was, “Oh my god, the sky is falling again.”

But if you looked at the market indicators — passing electronic stock quotations in brokerage house windows — the sky was falling again like the Dow Jones average, the economy itself seemed to be imploding by set charges of fraudulent debt, exploding up and down the colossus of the Stock Market’s columns, about to bring the financial roof down in a cloud of debt dust, fortunes, retirement plans, companies, wiped out in no time.

And here I stood, six days from my 70th year, among thousands of brave young people, some 90 percent of the marchers. I was proud to be there, alive and kicking with them. If there was a fountain of youth, it was talking back to power. Throwing off oppression took away the depression I saw on those onlookers’ faces, the depression that was internal and potentially, literally, external at any moment, despite what our billionaire Mayor Mike said about our “financial health.” They also said the air was fine to breathe after 9/11/01. Wrong.

These elements were all connected and stretched back like the line of marchers to Ground Zero and 9/11/01, to the inciting incident of a false-flag operation designed to initiate “The War on Terror” and the alternative March for World Hegemony which was bankrupting us, financially, morally, and in the eyes of the whole world.

This was the terrifying New World Order we were trying to disrupt, which was no order at all but rampant chaos, unleashed greed, violence and hatred, an insatiable appetite for oil and power, and taking them by force of arms. This is what our march was protesting, what these brave young people put themselves at peril to resist and fight against. This was the march to bring down the elites, the illuminati, the Bush crime family, and all their Bilderberg friends, attempting to cut up the world into pieces like lions for their prides.

The difference was the lions could be satiated after a kill and fill-up. The elite hunger was endless and would engulf entire populations, reduce them to skulls and bones for their purposes, pillaging “failed states” resources at will. That’s why they could so easily sacrifice the lives of nearly 3,000 people here and in DC and Pennsylvania at will.

The number was curiously close to that of Pearl Harbor, where the innocent were once again called on to spark the reason for war. Only that incident laid claim to protecting the world from Hitler who had recently devoured Europe for lunch. Nine-eleven and the War on Terror was sheer invention, to gobble cheap oil, to avoid drilling for our own and facing the more arduous task of seeking alternative energy sources. That was clear even on this overcast day.

This painful TWOT and its dire consequences were the idiots’ easy way out. And the idiots were all gathered at the White House, the Pentagon, and the intelligence agencies. But these young people swarming alongside me knew they could be called on as the other march’s fodder. And they wouldn’t have any of it.

And so the cannon fire of the march’s chant was liberating, a sound that approximated taking down barricades, allying a police force, even the military one day to this purpose, of returning “power to the people,” as Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney would say at press conferences later in the day. This was an ongoing struggle, seven years old, and part of an age-old struggle to rattle open the cage of disorder and let the people out, let freedom out.

Towards One Police Plaza

As we moved past City Hall barricaded to the hilt, my Texas friend asked what said building was. When I told him, he laughed and said, boy, they’re not taking any chances are they. Oh no, they weren’t. All “the dignitaries” in fact, like Giuliani (that death mask face), and Bloomberg, the liberal/Republican billionaire mayor; McCain the mad hatter presidential candidate; and Obama the well-meaning “change candidate” with Zbigniew Brzezinski his foreign policy adviser, the author of so much of this havoc . . . all “the dignitaries” were back at “the pit,” addressing those grieving families for the loss, addressing all those decent people who may or may not have figured out yet that “9/11 was an inside job.” They were surrounded by a number of the participants as well as an army of “security.”

And for all 96 of those victim families that had originally asked for a trial to find out who the real culprits were, none so far were given a trial. Some 7 billion dollars in hush money was handed out from 2001 to date. The stipulation to get the cash was not to sue the administration or even the airlines, who at the same time had received a 15 billion dollar bailout via the Air Traffic Safety Act of 2001.

And so the sound of that chanting crowd, the echoing back and forth of its imperatives was a balm in Gilead, an indescribable rhythm to shake these buildings and those inside them to listen: the people were an earthquake waiting to happen. And behind us, millions from around the world were reminding the world what happened on 9/11. And we would be returning until everyone knew. Until justice delayed was not justice denied — until it was given to all who yearned for it.

And there we were, filling the courtyard of One Police Plaza, surrounded by police, friends or enemies or a share of both. There was young Luke speaking without a bullhorn, a slender young man with a mighty passion for truth. He raised his voice above the crowd and brought cheers, inside and out from the gathered as he gave an impassioned speech.

I thought here was a kid who had faced down Bzrezinsky at the Council on Foreign Relations and told him what a skunk Zbig was for organizing the Mujihadeen to fight the Russians in Afghanistan in 1979. Luke and his group continue to challenge many others bigwigs, pinning their sins to their reputations at great risk to themselves. For Luke and his colleagues it was a mission. They had to do what they were doing. Luke had lost a close friend who was a first responder. For him, like so many of these young people, the middle-aged and others who had come and would gather over the weekend, this was a deep, very personal affair.

And for my friend John from Illinois, my friend from Texas, who even as he came to a Central Park gathering on the sweltering Sunday after, had found out that his mother lost her house to hurricane Ike on a beach in Galveston; he learned too that his own home closer to Houston was only a few feet above water.

Yet as he was talking, he was thinking of how he could help not just his family, but others. He could use his accounting office to help the poor file for FEMA assistance; help them get through the forms for the starter money that would be just that and barely enough. So here was the best impulse in the American character, to work for the “common good,” not just one’s own enrichment. This was special. This was the march. This would be the 9/11 March as long as there were Americans to defend their country, and not let it languish in dust. For now, my faith in what America could be was healed. Tomorrow was another story.

Updated: Key Witness to WTC 7 Explosions Dead at 53

UPDATED SEPT 17 4:05 PM CST: NYC Housing Authority spokesman Howard Marder has now officially confirmed that Barry Jennings indeed passed away approximately a month ago after several days in the hospital, matching confirmations from several other employees at the Housing Authority. Marder commented that Jennings was a great man, well liked by everyone at the Housing Authority, and that he would be missed. No other details were available.

Emergency coordinator and 9/11 witness Barry Jennings has passed away with controversy about WTC7 still hot– as the BBC hit piece and NIST report have been released to counter Jennings’ exclusive testimony of explosions inside Building 7

Authority, has passed away at age 53 from circumstances not yet disclosed. A spokesperson for the Housing Authority has now confirmed his death, after weeks of rumors circulating online, but refused to give any further details.

This office has not yet been able to contact anyone in the Jennings family and the official cause of death is not yet known, but online comments have reported the date of death as August 19, 2008.

It is very unusual that a prominent — and controversial– 9/11 witness would die only days before the release of NIST’s report on WTC7 and shortly after a firestorm erupted over his testimony that he heard explosions inside the building prior to collapse of either tower and that there were dead bodies in the building’s blown-out lobby

The BBC aired The Third Tower in July in attempt to debunk Barry Jennings’ account– which is both contradictory and damaging to the official 9/11 story– by making issue over whether or not he said he “saw” dead bodies in the lobby.

Yet Jennings own statement in an exclusive interview with Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas– which has not been denied– was: “The fire fighter who took us down kept saying, ‘Don’t look down.’ And I said, ‘Why.’ And we were stepping over people– you know, you can feel when you’re stepping over people.

Now the release of Jason Bermas’ Fabled Enemies is giving further exposure to Jennings’ controversial account. The film features a full interview with Barry Jennings, as well as the statements he and Michael Hess, who was also trapped with him inside WTC7, made to news media on the day of the attacks.

Barry Jennings reiterated in the exclusive interview his confusion over the explanation for WTC7’s collapse– given that he clearly heard explosions inside the building:

“I’m just confused about one thing, and one thing only– why World Trade Center 7 went down in the first place. I’m very confused about that. I know what I heard– I heard explosions. The explanation I got was it was the fuel-oil tank. I’m an old boiler guy– if it was a fuel-oil tank, it would have been one side of the building.”

That interview was not released until June 2008 at the request of Mr. Jennings, who had received numerous threats to his job and asked that it be left out of Loose Change: Final Cut because of those threats.

Jennings statements have lit fire to questions about what really caused the sudden collapse of WTC7 just as NIST had hoped the release of their report would quash widespread beliefs that the building was brought down by controlled demolition.

News of Jennings’ death comes on the heels of losing another 9/11 hero and eyewitness– Kenny Johannemann, who reportedly committed suicide 12 days before the seventh anniversary of 9/11. Johannemann is credited with saving at least one man’s life on 9/11 and was also a witness to explosions in the towers.

NIST’s report, as well as that of the 9/11 Commission (which did not even mention WTC7), completely ignored statements from the building leaseholder Larry Silverstein as well as numerous police, fire fighters and other eyewitnesses who have testified that they were warned about the building’s collapse and told to get back. One rescue worker even heard a countdown for the building’s implosion.

Unfortunately, Barry Jennings, whose testimony was ignored by the 9/11 Commission, can no longer raise questions personally about his experience inside WTC7, but his account will remain on the record and what he witnessed about 9/11 cannot be ignored.

The truth about WTC7 will come out, and Barry Jennings’ testimony will not be in vain.

Barry Jennings– now dead at 53– details his eyewitness account while trapped inside WTC7 on 9/11 in a 2007 interview. Jennings told reporters on the day of 9/11, as well as Loose Change cameras in 2007, that he heard repeated explosions inside the building before either Tower 1 or Tower 2 collapsed and testified that he was “stepping over dead bodies” while exiting the ‘blown-out’ lobby to WTC7.

Barry Jennings, a key 9/11 eyewitness who was an emergency coordinator for the New York Housing Authority, has passed away at age 53 from circumstances not yet disclosed. A spokesperson for the Housing Authority has now confirmed his death, after weeks of rumors circulating online, but refused to give any further details.

This office has not yet been able to contact anyone in the Jennings family and the official cause of death is not yet known, but online comments have reported the date of death as August 19, 2008.

It is very unusual that a prominent — and controversial– 9/11 witness would die only days before the release of NIST’s report on WTC7 and shortly after a firestorm erupted over his testimony that he heard explosions inside the building prior to collapse of either tower and that there were dead bodies in the building’s blown-out lobby.

The BBC aired The Third Tower in July in attempt to debunk Barry Jennings’ account– which is both contradictory and damaging to the official 9/11 story– by making issue over whether or not he said he “saw” dead bodies in the lobby.

Yet Jennings own statement in an exclusive interview with Dylan Avery and Jason Bermas– which has not been denied– was: “The fire fighter who took us down kept saying, ‘Don’t look down.’ And I said, ‘Why.’ And we were stepping over people– you know, you can feel when you’re stepping over people.

Now the release of Jason Bermas’ Fabled Enemies is giving further exposure to Jennings’ controversial account. The film features a full interview with Barry Jennings, as well as the statements he and Michael Hess, who was also trapped with him inside WTC7, made to news media on the day of the attacks.

Barry Jennings reiterated in the exclusive interview his confusion over the explanation for WTC7’s collapse– given that he clearly heard explosions inside the building:

“I’m just confused about one thing, and one thing only– why World Trade Center 7 went down in the first place. I’m very confused about that. I know what I heard– I heard explosions. The explanation I got was it was the fuel-oil tank. I’m an old boiler guy– if it was a fuel-oil tank, it would have been one side of the building.”

That interview was not released until June 2008 at the request of Mr. Jennings, who had received numerous threats to his job and asked that it to be left out of Loose Change: Final Cut because of those threats.

Jennings statements have lit fire to questions about what really caused the sudden collapse of WTC7 just as NIST had hoped the release of their report would quash widespread beliefs that the building was brought down by controlled demolition.

News of Jennings’ death comes on the heels of losing another 9/11 hero and eyewitness– Kenny Johannemann, who reportedly committed suicide 12 days before the seventh anniversary of 9/11. Johannemann is credited with saving at least one man’s life on 9/11 and was also a witness to explosions in the towers.

NIST’s report, as well as that of the 9/11 Commission (which did not even mention WTC7), completely ignored statements from the building leaseholder Larry Silverstein as well as numerous police, fire fighters and other eyewitnesses who have testified that they were warned about the building’s collapse and told to get back. One rescue worker even heard a countdown for the building’s implosion.

Unfortunately, Barry Jennings, whose testimony was ignored by the 9/11 Commission, can no longer raise questions personally about his experience inside WTC7, but his account will remain on the record and available in-full on the Fabled Enemies DVD so that what he witnessed about 9/11 cannot be ignored.

The truth about WTC7 will come out, and Barry Jennings’ testimony will not be in vain.
