Respected Leaders and Families Launch 9/11 Truth Statement Demanding
Deeper Investigation into the Events of 9/11
NEW YORK CITY, NY (Oct. 26, 2004) - An alliance of 100 prominent
Americans and 40 family members of those killed on 9/11 today
announced the release of the 911 Truth Statement, a call for immediate
inquiry into evidence that suggests high-level government officials may
have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur. The
Statement supports an August 31st Zogby poll that found nearly 50% of
New Yorkers believe the government had foreknowledge and "consciously
failed to act," with 66% wanting a new 9/11 investigation.
Focusing on twelve questions, the Statement highlights areas of
incriminating evidence that were either inadequately explored or
ignored by the Kean Commission, ranging from insider trading and
hijacker funding to foreign government forewarnings and inactive
defenses around the Pentagon. The Statement asks for four actions: an
immediate investigation by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer,
Congressional hearings, media analysis, and the formation of a truly
independent citizens-based inquiry.
The Statement's list of signatories includes notables spanning the
political spectrum, from Presidential candidates Ralph Nader, Michael
Badnarik, and David Cobb to Catherine Austin Fitts, a member of the
first Bush administration, as well as Washington veterans like Pentagon
whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg and retired CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
Other signers range from peace activists like Code Pink co-founder
Jodie Evans and Global Exchange's Kevin Danaher to former US Ambassador
and Chief of Mission to Iraq, Edward L. Peck; from environmentalists
like Randy Hayes and John Robbins to business leaders such as Paul
Hawken and Karl Schwartz, CEO of Patmos Nanotechnologies; from populist
journalist Ronnie Dugger to renowned investigative reporter Kelly
Patricia O'Meara.
The Statement also includes 43 noted authors, including New York Times
#1 bestseller John Gray, as well as 18 eminent professors, historians,
and theologians. Other notables include five-term Georgia Congresswoman
Cynthia McKinney, singers Michelle Shocked and Michael Franti, and
actors Ed Asner and Mimi Kennedy.
The Statement was facilitated by 911truth.org, a leading coalition. The
organization has also announced a press conference outside of Eliot
Spitzer's Manhattan office (corner of Cedar and Nassau) at 2:00PM on
Thursday, Oct. 28th where 9/11 family members and victim group
representatives will file a formal complaint demanding the first
criminal investigation of 9/11 events by the New York Attorney General.
The Statement
We Want Real Answers About 9/11
On August 31, 2004, Zogby International, the official North American
political polling agency for Reuters, released a poll that found nearly
half (49.3%) of New York City residents and 41% of those in New York
state believe US leaders had foreknowledge of impending 9/11 attacks
and "consciously failed" to act. Of the New York City residents, 66%
called for a new probe of unanswered questions by Congress or the New
York Attorney General.
In connection with this news, we have assembled 100 notable Americans
and 40 family members of those who died to sign this 9/11 Statement,
which calls for immediate public attention to unanswered questions that
suggest that people within the current administration may indeed have
deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen, perhaps as a pretext for war.
We want truthful answers to questions such as:
Why were standard operating procedures for dealing with hijacked
airliners not followed that day?
Why were the extensive missile batteries and air defenses reportedly
deployed around the Pentagon not activated during the attack?
Why did the Secret Service allow Bush to complete his elementary school
visit, apparently unconcerned about his safety or that of the
schoolchildren?
Why hasn't a single person been fired, penalized, or reprimanded for
the gross incompetence we witnessed that day?
Why haven't authorities in the U.S. and abroad published the results of
multiple investigations into trading that strongly suggested
foreknowledge of specific details of the 9/11 attacks, resulting in
tens of millions of dollars of traceable gains?
Why has Sibel Edmonds, a former FBI translator who claims to have
knowledge of advance warnings, been publicly silenced with a gag order
requested by Attorney General Ashcroft and granted by a Bush-appointed
judge?
How could Flight 77, which reportedly hit the Pentagon, have flown back
towards Washington D.C. for 40 minutes without being detected by the
FAA's radar or the even superior radar possessed by the US military?
How were the FBI and CIA able to release the names and photos of the
alleged hijackers within hours, as well as to visit houses,
restaurants, and flight schools they were known to frequent?
What happened to the over 20 documented warnings given our government
by 14 foreign intelligence agencies or heads of state?
Why did the Bush administration cover up the fact that the head of the
Pakistani intelligence agency was in Washington the week of 9/11 and
reportedly had $100,000 wired to Mohamed Atta, considered the
ringleader of the hijackers?
Why did the 911 Commission fail to address most of the questions posed
by the families of the victims, in addition to almost all of the
questions posed here?
Why was Philip Zelikow chosen to be the Executive Director of the
ostensibly independent 911 Commission although he had co-authored a
book with Condoleezza Rice?
Those who are demanding deeper inquiry now number in the hundreds of
thousands, including a former member of the first Bush administration,
a retired Air Force colonel, a European parliamentarian, families of
the victims, highly respected authors, investigative journalists, peace
and justice leaders, former Pentagon staff, and the National Green
Party.
As Americans of conscience, we ask for four things:
An immediate investigation by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer
Immediate investigation in Congressional Hearings.
Media attention to scrutinize and investigate the evidence.
The formation of a truly independent citizens-based inquiry.
Given the importance of the coming election, we feel it is imperative
that these questions be addressed publicly, honestly, and rigorously so
that Americans may exercise their democratic rights with full awareness.
In closing, we pray and hope for the strength to approach this subject
with wisdom and compassion so that we may heal from the wounds
inflicted on that terrible day.

Eine Allianz von 100 prominenten Amerikanern und 40 Familienmitgliedern
der Todesopfer des 11.September hat die Veröffentlichung einer
Erklärung angekündigt..
Die Erklärung verlangt eine sofortige unabhängige Untersuchung von
Anhaltspunkten die darauf hinweisen, dass hochgestellte
Regierungsmitglieder die Terroranschläge vom 11.9.2001 vorsätzlich
zugelassen haben.
Die Umfrage des anerkannten Meinungsforschungsunternehmens Zogby, hat
Ende August dieses Jahres feststellt dass fast 50% der New Yorker
Bürger von einer Verstrickung der US Regierung in die Terroranschläge
ausgehen., 66% fordern eine neue Untersuchung des Falles.
Die Erklärung der Allianz konzentriert sich auf 12 Hauptfragen :
verdächtige Finanztransaktionen u.a. an Tatverdächtige, ausländische
Geheimdienst-Vorwarnungen etc.
Gefordert wird u.a. die Einsetzung eines Untersuchungsausschusses in
New York unter dem Vorsitz von Generalstaatsanwalt Eliot Spitzer.
Die Liste der Unterzeichner schliesst Persönlichkeiten aus dem
öffentlichem Leben aus allen politischen Lagern ein.
