Would you like to sign a petition asking the President for a full investigation of 9/11?
we petition the obama administration to:
Launch a real, public, subpoena-empowered, criminal investigation of the events of Sept. 11, 2001.
Since the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, the United States has been a very different place. A public that grew up on a healthy diet of skepticism and independence suddenly fell in line with an administration intent on achieving its own goals by whatever means.
As part of that falling in line, we accepted a series of questionable reports from government bodies attempting to explain the details of the attacks. Experts in dozens of relevant fields have since come forward to examine the evidence more thoroughly. Their work has amounted to an unofficial investigation of the events, and many of their findings are in direct conflict with the official reports.
We should not fear the truth of anything. We need clear, straight answers taken under oath and on the public record. Investigate nine-eleven!

Skyscrapers don't have a very large base that slope to a point at the top/roof of solid blocks. Much of the weight of high-rise towers are exerted to its base. Being light & flexible helps to counter earthquakes & air dynamics as to allow some swaying with the wind or tremors.
UBLs declarations, & the magnificent 19 including the trend of attacks since the 80s, mass transit in london, spain & india are convincing of the motives behind all attacks, especially the first attack on the WTC in 1993. A '5 ton' truck bomb could only damage the WTC & failed to bring down the towers. '450 ton' planes & inertial force/acceleration seems to be more effective in finishing the job.

They say the fire cannot melt steel, but how did a San Francisco overpass collapsed when a fuel tanker crashed beneath it. When you forge a sword, form, bend or cast iron don't you melt or heat it. Just because a prying pan doesn't melt on a gas burner is not prove that fire can't melt steel. Metal can be bent or cut without applying heat by using force, but heat is given off while doing so as to why the impact destroyed 1/3 of the floor levels/space struck due to force, & having the impact area cut off from supporting the weight of the upper floors will cause the upper floors to collapse & cascade down to the bottom alone due to inertia, gravity, & tons of weight crashing down. Theres a man who can bend a prying pan with his bare hands using leverage & force. Hours of exposure to flames isn't necessary on iron bent, cut, shattered from the impact supporting tons of weight from the upper floors or Overpass.
SF Over pass collapsed from tanker truck fiery crash.

450 tons is a lot of weight added and a corner from the impact was taken out & a third of the outside walls that helps support the upper floors with the corners. The force from the speed of the aircraft will also destroy the inner columns, walls, floors, & divisions as a 747 is around 4-5 stories high & cause the towers to sway more than it supposed to. There's plenty of oxygen & combustible materials to feed the diesel fuel inside the building turning the inside of the impact into a kiln.
The only ones that gains in killing off 3,000 unsuspecting Civilian Capitalist in any world trade centers are socialist, commies, corrupt greedy absolutist, and terrorist regime who targets unsuspecting civilians than do battle with a sovereign's military in a state of war & declare war prior to attacking.
If i were a commie, socialist, any ethnic supremacist, a jihadist, theologists, or an enemy nation, I may try to down play, suggest plants of perpetrators & incidents of slanderous propaganda to cover up my involvement or others with the same agenda under the truth-er movement as to stir, recruit, encourage more attacks to destabilize or weaken to gain power or leverage in the quest to topple the U.S., administration in charge, & other targeted government.
Jihadist will bomb thousands to millions civilians in a genocidal contempt while western nations try to capture perpetrators, planners, & sponsor to become a dependent of tax payers taken for chumps. In their part of the world if one bombs a million the other bombs 2 million back. They do so to limit opposition population & they don't care if it involves children such were sunni's & shia exterminating school children of opposing sect during the Iraq war.
The Aryan leader from the land of the Aryans (IRAN) repress speech, individual/civil liberties, & inalienable rights in his own sovereign, but embolden to spout delusional rhetoric behind freedom of speech suggesting that euro-centric enlightenment (liberalism) are for chumps. This Aryan sounds more & more like his gearing up for war than a person interested in peace, cooperation, & trade. Perhaps his trying to stir the pot, remove or deny responsibility of the stench that has plague islam for over a Milena or he's got a trump card up his sleeve acquired from N. Korea with his naval fleet sailing around the atlantic.
Perhaps some Sunnis or Al-Queda can conduct series of test with fully fueled 747s into iranian high rise buildings with similar configuration to observe, if it will collapse due to the structural damages & added weight on supporting columns & floors below to support the Aryan leaders engineering credentials.
For the theorist: There are old buildings waiting for demolition. why spend a lot of time in preparations & setting up explosives so that debris will be smoldered into tiny bits, instead of huge chunks, in a linear sequence of explosion starting from the bottom followed up by the upper floors in millisecond gap when you can just fly a fully loaded with fuel aging 747s headed for the bone yard. Replicating the incident with an abandoned skyscraper of the same or close layout & configuration full of sensors & cameras will reveal allot.

No. Not necessary. The "unanswered questions" of 9/11 are not significant enough to warrant some whole new investigation. We know who did it, how they did it, and why.
If you are referring to the NIST engineering reports as the "questionable reports" I am curious exactly what those questions are? The NIST are now supported by over 100 independent papers published in peer reviewed engineering and physics journals. People who claim the NIST have got it wrong have published ZERO papers in ZERO peer reviewed journals.
Competent, serious investigators take their work to competent serious audiences. The MOST competent audiences that they can find. Serious investigators do this in order to get serious feedback. And to bring other serious investigators into the discussion.
The folks calling for a new investigatoin (Gage, Harrit, Jones, Griffin, etc) have not done anything of the sort. They post video's on Youtube and present their information to un-critical crowds at 9/11 Truther meetings and conventions. Their stated mission is to gain respectability for their theories and the right way to do this is publishing careful work in peer-reviewed top notch engineering journals. Yet they don't even bother.
They have NOTHING. In 10 years.
These people are not to be taken seriously.

You are jumping to conclusions that are not supported by the available evidence. The natural collapse of the Twin Towers and WTC7 is well supported by a wealth of available literature - including but by no means limited to the structural performance reports published by NIST. There is nothing in the professional literature to suggest anything else, opponents of the "official story" as they call it remaining content to preach to the choir on Youtube or at 9/11 Truther gatherings instead of submitting their allegations for professional review. If these reports are so questionable why won't these people who claim to be experts challenge their findings in front of other professionals?

Those that are so sure. Just remember the Media does what the Neo Conservatives tell them. How do you know and how can you trust the government and the Media? Oh, that's right, big government Democrats love the Media just Like Big Government Neo Conservatives. "Don't think Sheeple, just Parrot what the government wants you believe and call the Truth Conspiracy"

We already had an investigation, without all the conspiracy theories. I am satisfied with the results of the 9-11 commission.

It would be awesome if we got to know the truth about anything. Corruption and lies run rampant and nothing is being done about it. This country is declining fast.

There have been multiple investigations already, no new one is going to satisfy people that refuse to believe the truth.

People are afraid to even question it for fear of being called crazy.
Are 6/10 9/11 comissioners who expressed doubts crazy also? Read their statements:
http://www.drudge.com/news/147751/6-out-10-911-com...
How about Dr. Steve Pieczenik, who worked through 4 Presidential administrations as a White House terror expert and remains one of the world's foremost terror experts and a consultant for the White House, who said that 9/11 was a textbook example of an inside job.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU2n1UiY3I0
I guess the 3,000 engineers around the world who are experts in their field who say that they think the structural collapse needs further investigation are all crazy too.
Why wasn't building 7 in the 9/11 commission report.
The real conspiracy theorists:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuC_4mGTs98
There is an established belief system that has been established. It's not challenged, usually even in the minds of the most inquisitive people, because they rationalize that it would never happen; that if it were real, they would know about it.
Investigate the facts. Don't be dogmatic about it and accept one version of truth. It's not complicated.
