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.

Dr. Bob Bowman to Speak in Denver: May 1, 2007

April 17, 2007 by

Dr. Bob Bowman, national security expert, tells us the battle for our freedoms is taking place not in Iraq, but right here in the U.S.

Lt. Col. Robert Bowman, USAF, ret., is on a national “Patriot Tour” (137 cities) calling on us to “Take Back America” for the people and demand that our government:

  • Follow the Constitution
  • Honor the Truth
  • Serve the People

Imagine what a difference that would make! No more imperial presidency. No more undeclared wars of aggression. No more spying on the American people. No more jailing of dissidents. No more corporations importing and exploiting millions of illegal immigrants to drive down wages. No more exporting of jobs. No more NAFTA. No more North American Union. No more government lies, false-flag attacks, and cover-ups. No more corporate welfare. No more health plans written by insurance companies and pharmaceutical manufacturers. No more energy policies written by Exxon and Enron. No more trillions in debt. Most importantly, no more using our sons and daughters to kill Arabs for the oil companies. Let’s “Take Back America!!”

Many of our Colorado 9/11 Visibility friends may be wondering about Bob Bowman’s stance on the events of 9/11. Although he does not claim to know who orchestrated the events of 9/11 or that it was an “inside job”, Dr. Bowman disbelieves the official story, believes that elements of the US government are involved in a coverup, and feels that the Bush administration has falsely exploited 9/11 to deceive us into war. He is supportive of having an independent investigation into the events of 9/11 free of the conflicts of interest that hampered the 9/11 Commission, which issued its final report in 2004.

Bio:

  • Recipient of the Eisenhower Medal, the George F. Kennan Peace Prize, the President’s Medal of Veterans for Peace, the Air Medal with five oak leaf clusters, the Meritorious Service Medal, and numerous other awards

Backers hail 9/11 theorist’s speech

Backers hail 9/11 theorist’s speech

Denver Post Staff Writer

The standing ovation has finally died down, and Steven E. Jones, a soft-spoken physics professor, finds himself pinned against the stage by some of the enthusiastic fans who packed a University of Denver auditorium over the weekend to see him.

A man with a “Got truth?” T-shirt offers Jones a careful explanation for why the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center were operated by remote control. Another quizzes him about the size of the footprint of the Pentagon crash – too small, he says, for the Boeing 757 that “officially” smashed into it on Sept. 11, 2001.

“Can I just shake your hand?” a woman in a baggy red sweater asks Jones. “You’re doing such important work.”

If anything, Jones appears embarrassed by all the attention. Quiet and self-effacing, he’s an unlikely hero for 9/11 conspiracy theorists of every stripe, but that’s exactly what he’s become.

A physicist whose background includes work on nuclear fusion, Jones was put on leave by Brigham Young University in September after publishing a paper saying that the twin towers couldn’t have collapsed solely as a result of the planes that rammed the upper floors on Sept. 11. The paper theorizes that explosives planted inside the building must have been involved and that the buildings’ collapse was essentially a controlled demolition.

Though Jones doesn’t specify who he believes planted the charges, he concedes it would have had to be “an inside job” and likely would have included either very powerful figures on the American scene or entities inside the government.

“It’s a thought that I admit has made me lose some sleep,” Jones said.

Neither the 9/11 commission nor other extensive government reports have found any evidence of a secondary cause of the towers’ collapse.

But Jones and his work reflect the mainstreaming of a movement that has defied the Bush administration’s efforts to put it to rest and mystified people who have studied the events of that day closely: A startlingly large percentage of the population simply doesn’t believe the official explanation for the towers’ fall.
