In Brief
- The Facts:A new evidence-based book that challenges the official story about 9/11 is being touted as the Bible of future 9/11 research.
- Reflect On:Despite a flawed official narrative that has not been displaced despite 17 years of counter-research and activism, can we in the Awakening Community continue to work enthusiastically with the latest 9/11 research to bring the truth to humanity?
The
internet is replete with videos and articles that purport to
investigate, analyze, and explain how 9/11 is not what it has been made
out to be. The difficulty is in distinguishing the sensational,
speculative theories from truly evidence-based challenges to the
official narrative.

It seems as though there are those who
will readily believe conspiracy theories without needing much evidence,
while on the other side there are those who are not comfortable with
considering the official government narrative to be a lie. Those are the
people who are unwilling to do even the most rudimentary research into
the subject.
So one might suggest that any effort to
build an evidence-based refutation of the official narrative will result
in simply preaching to the converted, and that those who are not ready
to shift their paradigm will resist listening to any of the evidence.
Certainly, the group Architects and Engineers For 9/11 Truth
have had this experience, doing presentations and trying to get more
architects and engineers to join them and sign on to the contention that
the official National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST)
findings on the collapse of the three towers on 9/11 (1, 2 and 7) is
based on flawed science. Their tireless efforts to present and
communicate alternative theories to their professional community has
been widely met with indifference and skepticism, though bit by bit new
professionals have been signing on to the idea that the towers were
brought down by controlled demolitions, thus implying that this had to
be an inside job with a vast network of conspirators.
Researching Is Believing
I have met and heard from many people
who have been willing to research into the issue with an open mind, and
the conclusion is inevitably the same: whether or not they are sure about exactly what happened to bring about the destruction on 9/11, they are sure that there is much more to it than the official story.
On the other hand, I have never met or
even heard about a single person claiming to have done extensive
research on the anomalies and inconsistencies of 9/11 and have a cogent
explanation as to why these exist and how the official story holds up to
the scrutiny of objective scientific investigation. Researching this
material basically turns non-believers of this ‘conspiracy theory’ into
believers. It’s as simple as that.
So why does a fully evidence-based
challenge to the official narrative become important in this
environment? For some in the fields of engineering and architecture, it
provides an important piece of research for detailing evidence-based
information to colleagues who maintain a skeptical attitude towards the
possibility that the world is not as it seems. For the average person
who has already realized that 9/11 is an inside job, reading and
selecting information from this volume provides them with the
credibility and verifiable talking points with which to continue to
challenge those around them into considering that much of the official
story is a lie.

9/11 Unmasked
In this book review, which informs much of the rest of this article, Dick Lowman tells us that 9/11 Unmasked
is the end product of a seven-year effort by two top experts in the
field who have thoroughly analyzed the available evidence and are
presenting the documented and relevant material in a succinct single
volume. To ensure that no aspect of their research would be overlooked
or misrepresented, the authors, David Ray Griffin and Elizabeth
Woodworth, assembled and employed an impressive roster of international
reviewers called the 9/11 Consensus Panel. This panel, according to the
book, “includes people from the fields of physics, chemistry, structural
engineering, aeronautical engineering, piloting, airplane crash
investigation, medicine, journalism, psychology, and religion.” Each of
the panelists is identified and credited by name and qualifications.
The book also explains the purpose of
the panel: “to provide the world with a clear statement, based on expert
independent opinion, of some of the best evidence opposing the official
narrative about 9/11.” Griffin and Woodworth set the bar very high when
determining what constitutes “best evidence.” Indeed, given the 875
reference notes that document virtually every statement, it seems
improbable that any valid criticism of the panel’s consensus points can
ever be found.
Avoiding ‘Groupthink’
That said, critics of panels like this
sometimes allege that panelists can be influenced, consciously or
subconsciously, by the opinions of fellow members. The “groupthink”
phenomenon, these detractors say, often comes into play, making
panelists reluctant to express any opinion contrary to the group’s
position. In particular, a lower ranking or passive person might mimic
the opinions of a higher ranking or more aggressive member of the group.
To avoid any possibility of groupthink,
the authors employ the Delphi Method as a model for achieving
best-evidence consensus. This method provides all panel members with a
way of sharing their honest opinions without being influenced or
constrained by external sources. Questions are sent in writing to each
member individually to prevent anyone from being swayed by what other
members are saying. Any subject receiving less than an 85% consensus
from reviewers is removed from consideration.
51 Points Of Contention
Thus far, the international team of 9/11
Consensus panelists has reached agreement on 51 points where documented
evidence conclusively contradicts the official story. Each point is
addressed in its own chapter, and the 51 chapters are grouped into nine
categories:
- Destruction of the Twin Towers
- Destruction of WTC 7
- Attack on the Pentagon
- The 9/11 Flights [includes Flight 93]
- U.S. Military Exercises
- Claims About Military and Political Leaders
- Osama Bin Laden and the Hijackers
- Phone Calls from the 9/11 Flights
- The Question of Insider Trading
Each chapter is structured in a format
akin to an executive summary. First, a claim that constitutes a part of
the official account is summarized and presented with references to
source material. The official claim is followed with facts that disprove
it, and those facts are amply documented with notes at the end of the
book.
One challenge the panelists face in
analyzing the official account is that it is often a moving target,
i.e., an evolving narrative. In nine of the 51 chapters (Chapters 11,
12, 19, 20, 29, 30, 36, 49, and 50, to be specific), the authors show
how the government’s story has changed over time. In each of those
chapters, they provide verifiable evidence that discredits the multiple
versions.
Keeping It Objective
9/11 Unmasked
stands out not only for what is included, but also for what is not
included. There is no speculation about who perpetrated the attacks.
Moreover, emotional subjects such as first responder cancer deaths are
not mentioned. 9/11 Unmasked simply lays out the facts that show the official story cannot be true.
Any one of the 51 chapters, by itself,
presents ample evidence to disprove the official account. When all 51
are taken together, the evidence is overwhelming and the conclusion
inevitable: A new, independent investigation of 9/11 is imperative.
In the technical world, executive
summaries of research are typically presented in one or two paragraphs.
The events of 9/11 are so complex, so far-reaching, that one or two
paragraphs on any aspect of the subject hardly suffices. Yet Griffin and
Woodworth’s 308-page book might rightly be considered an executive
summary of their many years of research, presented as a non-political,
non-controversial compilation of facts.
9/11 Unmasked
is destined to be the Bible, the foundation, the go-to source of future
research. It belongs on the bookshelf of anyone who has nagging
questions about what really happened on September 11, 2001. And it will
surely be on the desk of each and every government official who might
one day be tasked with reinvestigating that monumental event.
The Takeaway
Perhaps no other event is as emblematic
of the search for truth in the Awakening Community as 9/11. It should be
obvious to us that it would take extremely powerful forces to be able
to keep this highly flawed official narrative in place, and prevent a
new and objective investigation from ever taking place.
Is there is a deeper reason that the
truth has not been revealed yet, that the timing depends on the stage we
are at in our collective awakening? Perhaps each of us still needs to
be provided opportunities to proliferate the truth and play our part in
the great awakening. In that regard, books like 9/11 Unmasked serve as yet another valuable tool in our toolbox.
