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.

Panelists raise doubts over 9/11 – Speakers at CU say government deceiving citizens

Panelists raise doubts over 9/11
Speakers at CU say government deceiving citizens

The idea was to turn the concept of a conspiracy theory on its head.

jonesryanA panel of scientists and scholars, gathered in a classroom Sunday afternoon at the University of Colorado at Boulder, suggested to several hundred vocal supporters that the true conspiratorial types when it comes to the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, are the federal government and the mainstream media.

“They pounded a script into our heads that we now know is backed by zero evidence,” said Kevin Barrett, a professor of Islamic studies at the University of Wisconsin at Madison.

Barrett was one of a trio of speakers who came to CU to lay out their case that the World Trade Center towers didn’t collapse as a result of jet fuel melting and softening of the buildings’ steel structure, but rather from a deliberate demolition effort perpetrated by the United States government to justify its invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq and assert its power around the world.

“Three thousand lives were lost at the World Trade Center as a means to global domination,” Barrett said.

He characterized the 9/11 attacks as a “false flag operation” carried out by the United States with the intention of stirring up the passions and buying the allegiance of its people.

“A false flag operation is a contrived event — shocking and spectacular — used to achieve political ends, start wars and justify suppression,” he said.

The two other speakers focused on the structural and chemical analysis of the buildings’ ruins and enumerated the inconsistencies or errors that came out of the government’s 9/11 investigations.

Kevin Ryan, a chemist who said he was fired from Underwriters Laboratories after he challenged the lab’s analysis of the performance of the World Trade Center’s steel, took to task the National Institutes of Standards and Technology for its investigation of the collapse.

NIST has offices in Boulder.

He said the temperatures of the fires in the buildings were never high enough to cause the collapse of the towers, as NIST contends.

“Neither jet fuel nor office furnishings can cause that kind of fire,” he said.

Steven Jones, a retiring physics professor at Brigham Young University in Utah, questioned NIST’s conclusion that the molten metal seen pouring out of a window on the 80th floor of one of the towers shortly before its collapse was the melted remnants of the aircraft’s aluminum shell.

Instead, he said, his own tests at BYU indicated that the liquid metal bore the signs of a high-powered, sulphur-laced explosive meant to “cut through steel like it was butter.”

The speakers, presented by the group Colorado 9/11 Visibility, didn’t have many detractors in the audience.

“I happen to be an engineer and the facts just don’t add up,” said Steven Dunbar, a Lafayette resident who is dubious of the government’s innocence in the 9/11 attacks. “The scientific evidence is not adding up.”

Backers hail 9/11 theorist’s speech

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.
