Filmmaker to present Documentary film exposing government cover-up of 9/11 at CU, Boulder, June 4th, 6:30pm – 9:30pm, Room 250, Eaton Humanities (HUMN) building.

The documentary film, 9/11: Press for Truth, revealing government cover-up and deception surrounding the September 11th attacks, and featuring the 9/11 victims’ families, will be screened at University of Colorado at Boulder on Thursday, June 4th. The event is to be held from 6:30pm – 9:30pm in room 250 of the Eaton Humanities (HUMN) building on the CU campus.

Local activist groups Boulder 9/11 Visibility and Colorado 9/11 Visibility and a University of Colorado student group “180-11” are co-sponsoring the screening of the independent film and hosting one of the film’s producers, Kyle F. Hence who will be on hand to answer questions about the 9/11 Commission, his next film project and to discuss the growing global movement for truth and accountability. Hence, a former resident of Boulder is back in town for the June 3rd U.S. broadcast television premiere of 9/11 Press for Truth on KBDI-12, a PBS station in Denver.

Since its release in 2006, Hence, with writer and Executive Producer credits on the film, has been witness to the documentary’s success as an underground across the globe. The film has received near universally excellent critical reviews while being officially selected and screened at international film festivals in Brazil, Mexico and the Czech Republic. Here in the US several hundred home, library and theatrical screenings rallied tens of thousands to support a new investigation, while US satellite networks, Denver-based FreeSpeechTV and LINKTV, beamed the film to hundreds of thousands of households across the country in 2007 and 2008. Overseas, the film has reached millions in France, Spain, Poland, Switerland, Norway, Sweden, Australia and New Zealand and throughout the Middle East via Al-Jazeera. The complete film has also been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times from GoogleVideo. Last year, it peaked as a top 10 documentary on Apple’s iTunes.

On the political front, 9/11 Press for Truth has been central to ongoing national lobbying campaigns to have 9/11 re-investigated.  DownsizeDC, a libertarian group, and a number of liberal organizations including Democrats.com and Progressive Democrats of America have supported the call for nationwide screenings and house parties as part of an effort to compel Congress to re-open inquiries into the unresolved, covered-up or outstanding issues surrounding the attacks.

In 2007, the Accountability project organized by DownsizeDC rallied Americans supportive of a new investigation to sponsor the mailing of a DVD and letter to their representative in Congress.  Downsize DC was joined by a Canadian group that sponsored a DVD mailing to each of the Presidential primary candidates, as well as prominent members of the US Congress. Hence has personally presented a copy of the documentary to Representative Kucinich and Water and to former Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Members of the press interested in interviewing any of those involved with production of the film or any of the above outreach activities are encouraged to contact Kyle F. Hence directly.  While 9/11 family member availability is limited at this time, the producers are pleased to forward any inquiries or requests for interviews.

Colorado 9/11 Activist Loses Fight with Stomach Cancer

Bob McFarland, physician and activist, dies
By Ryan Morgan
Thursday, November 27, 2008

bob-mcfarlandMcFarland moved to Boulder with his wife, Zoe, and daughter Laura in 1961. Their son, Bruce, was born that same year. In 1970, McFarland set up the People’s Clinic to help poor, transient youths get good medical care.

Doctors weren’t exactly clamoring to take those patients at the time, Zoe McFarland said Tuesday. But she said her husband didn’t hesitate to reach out and take over the job.

“Most people shy away from causing a hassle for themselves, but he never shied away from that,” she said. “He took care of a lot of people in his practice and didn’t charge them. He took care of hippies when other people wouldn’t.”

The People’s Clinic was just one of McFarland’s causes. He also helped run the Boulder Valley Clinic. After a child-abuse death in the early 1980s, he started the Parenting Place in the early 1980s to educate new parents to prevent child abuse. This year, he helped raise thousands of dollars to open up a similar facility in Boulder’s sister city of Dushanbe, Tajikistan.

He served as a physician at the Boulder County Jail, providing cheap care to inmates.

McFarland embraced sometimes-controversial causes. He helped start a facility to provide abortions, in 1973. He ran a methadone clinic to help people addicted to drugs. Late in his life, he joined groups whose members argued that the U.S. government had a role in the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

David Ray Griffin to Give Two Talks in Colorado: October 2007

October 1, 2007 by

Leading Spokesman for 9/11 Truth
Coming to Denver & Boulder Oct 19-21, 2007

david-ray-griffin-0624David Ray Griffin, one of the nation’s preeminent scholarly critics of the official version of the tragic events of September 11, 2001, will visit the Denver/Boulder area in October 2007.   Griffin is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, Religion and Theology at the Claremont (California) School of Theology and the author of more than twenty books, the most recent of which are Debunking 9/11 Debunking and Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11.

Dr. Griffin will explain why he has come out of retirement to dedicate himself to research, writing, and speaking about the events of 9/11 and why he believes that the official account of those events cannot possibly be true.  Griffin says he is especially eager to engage people of faith in conversation concerning the search for 9/11 truth and its implications for both religious faith and what he calls “nationalistic faith.”

Two Different Talks in Colorado

David Ray Griffin “9/11, Evidence, and Faith”
Friday October 19, 7pm, The Iliff School of Theology, Great Hall
2201 S. University Blvd, Denver. Doors open 6pm.

“‘People of faith’ are often accused of allowing their faith to override evidence.  This is often true. With regard to 9/11, the greatest obstacle to seeing the truth—that 9/11 was an inside job—is not the lack of evidence but what can be called ‘nationalistic faith’—the conviction that the leaders of our nation simply would not do such a thing.  Genuine faith—faith in God the creator and lover of all peoples—can help overcome the insanity created by 9/11.” Donation $1-$10, sliding scale, no one turned away.

David Ray Griffin “9/11 Contradictions”
Sunday, October 21, 2pm, doors 1pm
Univ. of Colorado at Boulder, Math Auditorium

“The public story about 9/11 is filled with internal contradictions, some of which are quite stunning, almost unbelievable.  To show that the public story is problematic, we don’t need to develop an alternative theory or even to confront the theory with scientific evidence.   All we need to do is lay out these contradictions, which are documented in the mainstream press.”   Donation $10, Students $6, no one turned away.

“I believe that David Ray Griffin’s provocative questions about 9/11 deserve to be investigated and addressed.”
–Howard Zinn, author, A People’s History of the United States

“What happened on 9/11 needs to be much further investigated than the 9/11 Commission did.”
–Amy Goodman, journalist, Democracy Now!

Griffin’s lectures are sponsored by a large and growing coalition of varied groups in Colorado and include The Veterans of Hope Project, The Peace and Justice Program at the Iliff School of Theology, Colorado 9/11 Visibility, Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center.   For more details, please visit www.colorado911visibility.org.
