9/11 Family Goes Before UK High Court in Fight for New Inquest | 9/11 Family Member Matt Campbell International Center for 9/11 Justice 2025-06-19 | In the latest episode of the IC911 Podcast, Executive Director Ted Walter sits down with Matt Campbell for a behind-the-scenes recap of his family’s June 18 preliminary hearing in the UK High Court.Matt, whose brother Geoff was killed in the North Tower of the World Trade Center on 9/11, has led a years-long effort to secure a new inquest into Geoff’s death — challenging the original 2013 inquest’s conclusion that the building collapse was caused by the airplane impact.In this episode, Matt reflects on the hearing, in which two High Court judges heard arguments on whether the attorney general’s refusal to permit a new inquest is subject to judicial review. Matt shares how the day unfolded in court, what’s at stake legally, and why this case could set precedent for government accountability in England and Wales.A ruling is expected within two to three weeks. Should the decision go against them, they will have the opportunity to appeal — either to the Court of Appeal or, potentially, directly to the Supreme Court — keeping open the path forward.The discussion offers a vivid look at one family’s relentless pursuit of truth and justice nearly 24 years after that horrible day. We hope you find it informative and, in its own way, uplifting.
Unscientific Method: How NIST Sidestepped the Evidence of Building 7’s Demolition International Center for 9/11 Justice 2025-05-19 | In this presentation from October 2022, Ted Walter, the executive director of the International Center for 9/11 Justice and then-director of strategy at Architect & Engineers for 9/11 Truth (ic911.org/team), methodically dissects how NIST sidestepped the overwhelming evidence of Building 7’s demolition, drawing from the request for correction to NIST’s final report on Building 7, filed by AE911Truth in 2020, and from NIST’s response to that request for correction.0:00 Introduction3:30 Foreknowledge of Collapse12:13 The "Mystery" of Building 7's Collapse21:59 Request for Correction Overview25:51 Area of Evidence 1: Structural Behavior52:19 Area of Evidence 2: Evidence of Explosions1:20:40 Area of Evidence 3: Evidence of Incendiaries1:34:05 Recap and ConclusionRequest for Correction DocumentsRequest for Correction: ic911.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/rfc-to-nist-wtc7-report-04-15-20.pdfNIST’s Initial Decision: ic911.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/nist-response-2020-001.pdfAppeal: ic911.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/appeal-of-nist-initial-decision-wtc-7-rfc-09-28-20_public.pdfSupplement: ic911.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/nist-wtc7-request-for-correction-supplement-12-07-20-public_updated-1-08-21.pdfNIST’s Final Decision: ic911.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/response-to-appeal-of-nists-decision.pdf
Setting the Record Straight on the North Tower Antenna: David Chandler and Jonathan Cole, PE International Center for 9/11 Justice 2025-04-05 | Seventeen years after he forced NIST to backtrack on its false claim that Building 7 did not come down in free fall, retired physics teacher David Chandler has produced yet another measurement that blows the NIST World Trade Center investigation out of the water.This time around, Chandler has taken aim at NIST’s unproven assertion that the vertical drop of the North Tower’s antenna, which began a half-second prior to the downward motion of the building, was merely an illusion caused by the top of the building along with the antenna tipping southward as the exterior columns on the south face allegedly gave way before the rest of the structure.In his recent paper in the Journal of 9/11 Studies (ic911.org/journal/articles/the-descent-and-tilting-of-the-north-tower-antenna), Chandler proves that the antenna did indeed experience a vertical drop prior to any significant tipping, which must have been caused by the simultaneous failure of all of the core columns prior to the failure of any exterior columns. This finding invalidates NIST’s scenario that the collapse of the North Tower initiated along its south face. It also solidifies yet another piece of evidence for controlled demolition.In this episode of IC911’s new podcast, IC911 Executive Director Ted Walter speaks with Chandler and civil engineer Jonathan Cole about the significance of Chandler’s new paper.About the GuestsDavid Chandler has been actively researching the scientific aspects of 9/11 since 2007. He is currently the coordinator of Scientists for 9/11 Truth in addition to serving on the board of the International Center for 9/11 Justice. Chandler is best known for his research into the dynamics of the World Trade Center building collapses — which is documented in the many analytical videos (ic911.org/films-and-videos/short-videos) he produced and narrated as well as in papers — and for forcing the National Institute of Standards and Technology to admit that WTC 7 underwent more than two seconds of absolute free fall. He has also extensively studied the attack on the Pentagon (https://911speakout.org).Jonathan Cole, PE, has been a registered professional engineer for over 35 years. In 2010, he began conducting real-world experiments in his backyard to either prove or disprove the official explanation of the Twin Towers and Building 7’s destruction. He is well-known for the videos he made documenting these experiments, all of which can be found at his YouTube channel physicsandreason (youtube.com/user/physicsandreason) and at 911speakout.org (911speakout.org/jonathan-cole).
House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets: JFK Files (1st Hearing, Apr. 1, 2025) International Center for 9/11 Justice 2025-04-03 | The first hearing of the House Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets did not come anywhere close to resembling an actual investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy more than 60 years ago, but it was never really meant to.It did, however, provide reason for optimism that the task force, led by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, will ultimately serve to fuel demand for further investigation of both President Kennedy’s assassination as well as other political crimes of the past half-century — most importantly those of September 11, 2001.ic911.org/news/first-hearing-of-lunas-task-force-shows-promise-despite-partisan-antics-eight-highlights-to-check-out
Exploring the Mind-Body Question as a Pathway to Peace: Madhava Setty, MD, and Dr. Daniele Ganser International Center for 9/11 Justice 2025-03-21 | The International Center for 9/11 Justice is proud to announce the launch of a new podcast that will be a venue for conversations about research and current events related to the pursuit of 9/11 justice.Episodes will feature a variety of hosts and guests and will air whenever there are timely topics to discuss.For the inaugural episode, hosted by IC911 board member Marilyn Langlois, we were delighted to welcome physician Madhava Setty, MD, and historian Dr. Daniele Ganser for a conversation about “the mind-body question as a pathway to peace.”Their discussion was a follow-up to Dr. Setty’s talk last December at the Second Annual David Ray Griffin Lecture (ic911.org/talks-conversations/the-second-annual-david-ray-griffin-lecture-my-post-9-11-awakening). At that event, he covered several existential topics, including the possibility of reincarnation and its implications for human progress. He also spoke about the prospect of a “humanitarian revolution” that could lead to an unprecedented sense of togetherness and a rejection of the idea that war is necessary.Recognizing the connections between these themes and the ideas often explored by Dr. Ganser in his own talks, Marilyn Langlois invited Dr. Ganser to have a conversation with her and Dr. Setty. The result was a stimulating and refreshing exchange, untethered from our usual focus on evidence-based analysis. We hope members of the 9/11 truth community will find that it offers much inspiration and food for thought.Dr. Setty is science advisor to IC911, author of the book Woke: Anesthesiologist’s View (amazon.com/Woke-Anesthesiologists-View-Madhava-Setty/dp/1098331540), and former senior science editor for The Defender, the online publication of Children’s Health Defense. His Substack is called “An Insult to Intuition” (https://madhavasetty.substack.com). Dr. Ganser is a historian based in Switzerland and author of the books NATO’s Secret Armies (amazon.com/NATOs-Secret-Armies-Operation-Contemporary/dp/0714685003) and USA: The Ruthless Empire (amazon.com/USA-Ruthless-Empire-Daniele-Ganser/dp/1510776788).

US Reps James Comer and Anna Luna announce Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets International Center for 9/11 Justice 2025-02-11 | Today Chairman James Comer and Representative Anna Luna of the US House Oversight Committee announced the creation of the “Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets.”Representative Luna, who has been appointed to chair the task force, has promised that it will investigate 9/11 as well as the assassinations of JFK, RFK, and MLK and other major events such as the origins of Covid.While it is too soon to know how genuinely committed the task force will be to exposing the truth and what obstacles it may face, for now we must remain optimistic and do our best to put appropriate pressure on the task force to investigate 9/11 truthfully and fearlessly.We encourage you to watch the full press conference and to please contact us (ic911.org/contact-us) with your ideas on how to make the most of this opportunity!
Second Annual David Ray Griffin Lecture: My Post-9/11 Awakening by Dr. Madhava Setty International Center for 9/11 Justice 2024-12-28 | On December 15, 2024, Dr. Madhava Setty delivered the Second Annual David Ray Griffin Lecture, an event hosted by the International Center for 9/11 Justice and UK Column in honor of the late eminent scholar who contributed immensely to the pursuit of truth and peace during his lifetime.In this thought-provoking lecture entitled “My Post-9/11 Awakening: A Path to Self-Liberation and Unity,” Dr. Setty, an anesthesiologist and former engineer, spoke about several related big-picture topics, including the possibility of reincarnation and its implications for human progress as well as the view among astrologers that humanity is headed for a sustained period defined by cooperation and an emphasis on the collective. Dr. Setty imagines that this “humanitarian revolution” will lead to an unprecedented sense of togetherness and widespread rejection of the idea that war is necessary, which he argues humans have been programmed for centuries to believe.Before the lecture, Dr. Piers Robinson gave opening remarks and Dr. Niels Harrit shared his reflections on the truth-telling of Dr. David Ray Griffin. After the lecture, there was a lively roundtable discussion featuring Dr. Setty, Dr. Robinson, and Dr. Harrit, along with Mary Holland of Children’s Health Defense, Dr. Josh Mitteldorf, and Frances Shure.We are grateful to our friends at UK Column for streaming the event and to all of the speakers for volunteering their time and insights.We hope you find the Second Annual David Ray Griffin Lecture as stimulating and inspiring as we did!0:00 Dr. Piers Robinson: Opening Remarks7:43 Dr. Niels Harrit: Remarks on Dr. David Ray Griffin25:36 Dr. Madhava Setty: My Post-9/11 Awakening: A Path to Self-Liberation and Unity1:18:50 Roundtable Discussion

Aviation Impossibilities: Deconstructing the 9/11 Hijackings & Air Defense Failures | Sept. 8, 2024 International Center for 9/11 Justice 2024-09-10 | In early 2024, the International Center for 9/11 Justice (IC911) embarked on the first stage of an in-depth study into what took place in the skies on September 11, 2001.On September 8, 2024, IC911 and UK Column held an online symposium where we commemorated the 23rd anniversary of that day and shared IC911’s research to date. The symposium evaluated three key claims of the US government’s account:• That the alleged 9/11 hijackers could so smoothly and successfully commandeer all four airliners;• That the alleged hijacker pilots could successfully fly three of the aircraft into their intended targets;• That US air defenses failed to intercept the hijacked planes due to communication breakdowns and bad luck.IC911 Research Director Dr. Piers Robinson introduced the four-hour livestream event. Captain Dan Hanley, a pilot of 35 years and founder of 9/11 Pilot Whistleblowers, then spoke about the importance of getting the world to understand that Muslim terrorists did not fly the planes on 9/11. Following their remarks, there were four presentations.Program0:00 Dr. Piers Robinson: Opening Remarks9:57 Captain Dan Hanley: "Informing the World There Were No Muslim Hijackers on 9/11"23:56 Ted Walter: "The 9/11 Hijacking Myth Exposed: Examining the Official Story Against the History of Suicide Hijacking Attempts and the Content of the 9/11 Phone Calls"1:47:40 Olivier Caron-Mason: "Assessing the Feasibility of the 9/11 Flight Profiles for Inexperienced and Experienced Pilots"2:44:38 Aidan Monaghan: "The 9/11 Flights: The Case for GPS-Guided Autopilot Control"3:15:06 Kevin Ryan: "Lies and Obstruction: Indefensible Air Defenses on 9/11"3:50:21 Dr. Piers Robinson: Closing Remarks

And some of speakers, in particular Dr. Setty, offered astute advice about how to engage with people new to or resistant to the idea that the 9/11 and Covid narratives are false.The symposium was co-hosted by IC911 board member Marilyn Langlois and IC911 Executive Director Ted Walter. Also, IC911 board member David Chandler gave a special introduction to Dr. Setty and Dr. Nass, who are at the forefront of the Covid resistance and whom the Center was honored to welcome.

We knew instantly Twin Towers brought down in controlled manner: Structural Engineer Max Ruppert International Center for 9/11 Justice 2023-11-22 | Club der Klaren Worte has granted permission to the International Center for 9/11 Justice to republish this interview with English subtitles. To view the original interview without English subtitles, please go to: youtube.com/watch?v=JZ6nL7TPmhc.On November 15, 2023, the International Center for 9/11 Justice shared the news that a German structural engineering professor with expertise in demolition, Maximilian Ruppert, had recently spoken out about 9/11, and we published a portion of his November 4, 2023, interview at the Club der Klaren Worte in Munich, Germany.Today we are pleased to provide the full interview with English subtitles along with a transcript.Special thanks to Sandra Jelmi and Gene Laratonda for their hard work in providing the translation and video captions.Here is our original report from November 15, 2023:Almost a year to the day after Maximilian Ruppert defended his PhD thesis on the effects of explosions on buildings, he and a room full of colleagues watched in disbelief as each of the Twin Towers crumbled on television before their eyes.All of them — experts in structures and/or explosives — realized immediately, without a shadow of a doubt, that the buildings had been brought down by controlled demolition.Now, more than two decades later, Ruppert has broken his silence, speaking publicly about what he knew from day one and admitting that he feels ashamed for having waited so long.About two weeks ago, on November 4, 2023, Ruppert told his story to Markus Langemann at the Club der Klaren Worte in Munich, Germany. One week later Langemann published a video of the interview. After two days it has amassed more than 100,000 views.Because the interview has no English subtitles, the Center has republished a portion of it with English subtitles on our X page; this video now has more than 90,000 views. If Langemann grants us permission, we will republish the entire interview with English subtitles.An unusually credible voiceRuppert’s background makes him an unusually credible voice when it comes to assessing that the Twin Towers were demolished.Not only did he earn a doctorate in structural engineering, but prior to that he received demolition training at the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief and then went on to perform several demolitions on his own.According to Ruppert, he then became, through his PhD work, one of the few people in the world to have created standards for calculating the effects of explosions on structures.Is Ruppert’s decision to speak out yet another sign that the tide is starting to turn? What more will Ruppert do, and what impact will his speaking out have? Stay tuned for more on this developing story.
Understanding ‘Structural Deep Events’: From JFK through 9/11 to COVID-19 | Piers Robinson | 9/30/23 International Center for 9/11 Justice 2023-10-23 | Last month IC911 board member Dr. Piers Robinson and 9/11 family member Matt Campbell spoke to an audience of some 50 people following a screening of Peace, War and 9/11 (youtube.com/watch?v=ZBnJBocjxVM) at an event in London.Piers spoke about propaganda — the focus of his current research — and about “structural deep events,” a concept that was coined by professor and author Peter Dale Scott and that Piers is attempting to advance within mainstream academia.As Piers noted, though the material he covered may not be new to many in the audience he addressed, the framework he presented for thinking about propaganda and structural deep events may be very useful for communicating effectively with more reluctant groups.

Takeaways: How the North Tower ‘spire’ disproves the official theory all by itself | Jon Cole, PE International Center for 9/11 Justice 2023-08-30 | In the latest installment of Takeaways, civil engineer Jonathan Cole presents his paper published last month in the Journal of 9/11 Studies.Cole shows with remarkable simplicity how the very existence of the North Tower “spire” — a remnant of the core structure that remained standing after the rest of the tower came down — completely undermines the official theory of the Twin Towers’ destruction.Watch Cole’s presentation to learn why the North Tower “spire” is conversation-ending evidence you’ll want to have in your arsenal.Speaker BioJonathan Cole, PE, has been a registered professional engineer for over 35 years. In 2010, he began conducting real-world experiments in his backyard to either prove or disprove the official explanation of the Twin Towers and Building 7’s destruction. He is well-known for the videos he made documenting these experiments, all of which can be found at his YouTube channel physicsandreason (youtube.com/user/physicsandreason) and at https://911speakout.org.
Massive corruption at ASCE Aids the 9/11 Cover-up: Debrief on a Five-Year Ethics Case International Center for 9/11 Justice 2023-08-25 | For more than a decade, Richard Johns and Tony Szamboti battled to have their paper published in the ASCE’s Journal of Engineering Mechanics.Their paper was a direct response to and critique of an earlier paper the journal had published on the Twin Towers’ destruction. Nevertheless, the editors — both of whom had major conflicts of interest in relation to the paper being critiqued — rejected Johns and Szamboti’s paper as “out of scope.”Now, nearly five years after Johns and Szamboti filed an ethics complaint against the journal’s editors, the ASCE’s Executive Committee has voted unanimously to dismiss their complaint.Johns and Szamboti, ASCE members Scott Grainger and Seth McVey, and IC911 Executive Director Ted Walter got together on August 18, 2023, to talk about the five-year ethics case. This is their interview with host Fran Shure.
Takeaways: Building 7’s Instantaneous Transition to Free Fall and Why It’s Important International Center for 9/11 Justice 2023-07-05 | Authors David Chandler and Ted Walter kicked off the Center’s “Takeaways” series on July 1, 2023. The conversation was moderated by longtime Colorado-based 9/11 activist Fran Shure.The topic of discussion was a paper recently published in the Journal of 9/11 Studies, “The Instantaneous Free Fall of World Trade Center Building 7 and NIST’s Attempt to Hide It,” which David and Ted co-authored with engineer Tony Szamboti.If you’re interested in learning how Building 7’s transition to free fall was instantaneous and simultaneous across the entire measurable roofline of the building, then be sure not to miss this talk.About TakeawaysThe main purpose of Takeaways is to distill the research findings published by the Center so that activists can share those findings with the public. The series is also meant to foster scholarly dialogue.Discussion sessions will usually be held after articles are published in the Journal of 9/11 Studies, assuming authors agree to participate.They may also be held after letters are published in the Journal of 9/11 Studies or after a thread of papers is published in the Debated Topics Forum and the original author and at least one responding author agree to participate.
