Turning the Tide: 9/11 Justice in 2025 — Day 1

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A U.S. senator joined several researchers on Wednesday to challenge official government accounts of the Sept. 11, 2001, mass murders, at the first of four events focusing on them this week.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., described his increasing disillusion with the government narratives about the events in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in rural Pennsylvania, assuring audience members they were not “crazy” to be skeptical and answering questions from some at the Washington Quaker Meeting facility.

Other speakers included architect Richard Gage, Danish chemistry professor Niels Herrit, civil engineer Jonathan Cole, British media analyst Piers Robinson, and authors Ted Walter and Aaron Good, borrowing from the fields of physics, chemistry, aeronautics, and the social sciences — as well as common sense — to explain their positions.

Three of the detailed scientific presentations were complex. Herrit explained how he concluded that the pyrotechnic mixtures thermite or thermate must have been used to collapse the three skyscrapers at the World Trade Center in New York City, rather than mere office fires ignited by jet fuel from two airliners.

Cole, who agrees that controlled demolition — standard in demolishing office buildings — brought the skyscrapers down, refuted a theory that directed energy weaponry (DEW) had to have destroyed the WTC buildings. The theory is contained in the 2009 book Where Did the Towers Go?, by former mechanical engineering professor Judy Wood of Clemson University.

Walter, executive director of the International Center for 9/11 Justice, explained seismic scientists’ conclusions that the seismic calculations in a National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) report on the WTC buildings’ demolitions had to be off, by several crucial seconds.

In an easier-to-understand analysis, Robinson countered the official account that Muslim terrorists with limited piloting experience, commandeered passenger airliners and steered them into the Twin Towers at the World Trade Center. Robinson showed how airline pilots with decades of experience failed to accomplish on flight simulators what official accounts said amateur Saudi pilots did.

Even easier to understand were Gene and Sandra Laratondra of the weekly podcast 9/11 WarRoom, who explained how volunteers could meet the next day, Thursday, Sept. 11, at 9:30 a.m., to distribute material at offices of U.S. representatives and senators at the Capitol calling for a new investigation of the events 24 years ago — this to be followed by an afternoon demonstration at the White House.

Finally, Aaron Good, author of the 2022 book American Exception: Empire and the Deep State, spoke on how he sees the events of Sept. 11, 2001, as contributing to a decades-long geopolitical trend.

To active skeptics of the official 9/11 accounts. Richard Gage, the first speaker, was the most familiar speaker. His talk was marred by a failure to coordinate the graphics so online viewers could see them, but he gamely continued, secure in the knowledge that most of them had already seen them.

Turning the Tide: 9/11 Justice in 2025 — Day 1

The three-day live-streamed conference in Washington, D.C., called “Turning the Tide: 9/11 Justice in 2025,” and described HERE, began today at 5 p.m in Washington, D.C., with an introduction by Mathava Setty, M.D., and a presentation by Richard Gage, a founder of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.

To access the event for free, go to the website of the International Center for 9/11 Justice and click on Redacted there.

(Unfortunately for viewers watching live online, the photos and other graphics were part of Gage’s presentation were apparently visible only to those in the room at Washington Quaker Meeting. So at about 6:40 p.m. Eastern time Mathava announced a 15-minute break for techies there to try to resolve the problem.)

U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., began speaking at around 6:45 p.m., describing his evolving experience in the world of “9/11 truth,” offering some advice to newcomers, and answering questions and considering comments from audience members.

Then, Danish chemistry professor Niels Harriet followed with an illustrated explanation of the intricacies of thermite, thermate, and the nanotechnology he sees as evident in the destruction of the Twin Towers at WTC on Sept. 11, 2001. (Some of the production difficulties had been successfully addressed.)

After a 15-minute break that began around 7:38, IC911 executive director Ted Walter spoke, with plenty of video and other graphic supports,  gave a presentation titled “Toward Incontrovertible Seismic Evidence of Pre-Impact Explosions,” one that is so technical and complex that it is bound to lose most of his audience. It questions the accounts given by the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) team on seismic evidence concerning destruction of the WTC Towers.
