"We have put out this volume in the conviction that 9/11 was not only the largest and least-investigated homicide in American history but perhaps also the largest hoax, with extremely fateful consequences for human civilization as a whole. If our educational community cannot address this issue, then it risks remaining merely "academic" in the worst sense of that term." - statement of editors David Ray Griffin & Peter Dale Scott wheelchair accessible, substantial free parking Details posted at http://kpfa.org/events/index.php?#729 tickets: $15 advance, $20 door (available August 25 at Bay Area independent bookstores or www.kpfa.org) Bookstores (always to be supported!) - EAST BAY: Black Oak, Cody's 4th Street, DIESEL a Bookstore, Moe's Books, Pegasus (both stores), Pendragon, Walden Pond SAN FRANCISCO: Cody's, Modern Times Event sponsors: KPFA 94.1FM + Pacifica Radio, Northern California 9-11 Truth Alliance, Interlink Publishing + Bay Area independent bookstores

— Prove to yourself in one minute that 9-11 was an inside job. Go to "wtc7.net" -- go to right side to click on "Collapse Videos" – scroll down to and click on any or all 3 major network film clips of Building 7 falling. After viewing, then explain to yourself how Building 7 fell since it was not hit by any plane and had only 2 small fires visible. And, if you know of ANY reason Building 7 could have fallen other than by controlled demolition planned and prepared way in advance, please let me know. - Dan Stone
