Thank you so much for your post, Richard!

9/11 has been the mother propaganda event of this century, and we believe that the public is now ready to see it exposed -- and all the transnational propaganda that has followed to deceive and control us -- so that our democracies can be reclaimed, backed up by an honest media.

Well said, Craig.

I saw this article on my FB timeline and was disappointed to see you, Richard, promoting this when I know you know what Ted did and what this is really all about.

Speaking of the “leaders” of the truth movement (or rather the people desperately trying to prop themselves up as that) they have turned this movement into something just as sleazy and opportunistic as Washington DC politics.

The only point Craig and I differ on is that I think Ted is the bigger problem in that bunch. Him and Bill Brinnier. And I’m not as focused on the Pentagon as much as I am the overall character of these people. I should be speaking out more but those two have proved themselves to be so vindictive that they’ll probably retaliate by taking their defamation campaign against Kelly (and apparently me now) to the internet and dragging her through the mud further, even while she’s barely involved anymore and is moving on in the world.

This is the only reason this new group exists-- they offered Kelly, and she accepted the position of Executive Director at AE911Truth. Ted had been trying to take control of AE911Truth for YEARS, even embarrassingly proclaiming that he wanted to become the new CEO while they were still deliberating firing Richard. “Make me the CEO! I’m ready for it!” Most of the staff appreciated the work Ted did but shuddered at the thought of him being in charge because of his control-freak nature, ego and micromanagement. Kelly was the real leader and power behind AE911Truth and had been for years, and everyone liked and respected her, so making her the ED was the logical choice.

Ted had yet another fight with the guy who does our graphics over a minor disagreement involving him boosting the contrast of a Free Fall promo pic (because Ted himself was on the show he was trying to micromanage every detail…again, ego.)

After Ted proclaimed he wouldn’t work with the guy anymore, and Kelly told Ted that he couldn’t refuse to work with him and that she wouldn’t fire the guy, it triggered Ted and his buddy Bill on the board to launch a defamation campaign against Kelly to other board members in order to make Ted the ED. Ted dug through nine years of texts between Kelly and him when they were friends, exaggerated and outright lied about her professional and personal life, and persuaded two new naïve board members who didn’t even really know her to go along with this. They even managed to declare a rule that anyone on the board who knew Kelly and might vote not to demand her resignation weren’t allowed to vote.

It was a kangaroo court, like when the CIA stages coups in foreign countries. Ted didn’t just want to be ED and take control of the whole organization…he demanded she be fired.

We were kept in the dark about what was happening, but we all pretty much knew. Right before the board vote I emailed them all, told all of them off (including Ted), and resigned in protest because it was just downright wrong. (That’s why I was a gone for a month and half…paperwork signed and everything.) And it wasn’t just me who was against what they were doing to Kelly…the entire staff was outraged.

Kelly could have fought it and kept her job, but she resigned without a fight and decided to let the baby have his bottle because after this experience, and after enduring harassment by lunatics for years (including death threats,) she decided she was done.

So, she was gone, but at her final board meeting, partly due to my unexpected and sudden departure and partly because of some things Kelly said in her own defense, one of the two new board members suddenly changed his mind and Ted didn’t get the votes he needed to become ED.

During that time, even though she was gone, Ted’s defamation campaign against her went on to every member of the truth movement he could find.

Apparently, they even had another vote sometime later to make him the ED, and Ted still didn’t get the votes he needed.

A month and a half later AE contacted me, saying they were about to fire Ted, and asking if I would come back. I said I would, at first on a limited basis only because of the state he had left the org in due to the civil war he triggered…but only after that creep was officially gone. (I was ready to move on to new creative endeavors, but it felt like a shame to let AE fall after putting so much work into it. Kelly encouraged me to come back when I talked to her about it.)

When Ted was out and he found out that I was back to replace him, his defamation campaign turned to me. I know this because I’ve been forwarded the emails.

So, this new group is basically a continuation of Ted’s personal ambition/revenge campaign after he went all Anakin Skywalker on us. He couldn’t get enough people at AE to hold their noses and give him the title he sold his soul for, so he found a way to give it to himself. I don’t really think it’s a threat to AE, but (9/11 family members excluded, who just don’t know any of this…as well as Tony Szamboti who is not involved in this) it is a haven for some very bad characters, and people I’ll never suffer the company of again. The bottom line is that you shouldn’t have liars trying to lead a “truth” movement, and people who carry out injustices claim to fight for justice.

It’s just so phony.

The same thing will happen to anyone who gets in the way of Ted’s personal ambition. He worked with Kelly side by side for nearly a decade and never had a problem with her until she was offered the title he wanted so desperately for years. Richard, he wanted to take your place years ago. Kelly’s the only reason it didn’t happen.

The reader may not care about what they did to Kelly because, unlike others, she’s not a shameless self-promoter. She never sought the limelight and therefore doesn’t have an army of groupies to spend years crying about it on her behalf, nor can she do anything to boost anyone’s personal prestige within the movement anymore….so there’s no personal benefit in rallying behind her and sucking up to her.

But I and others care, because it was wrong, and I’ve seen who these people really are for myself. (Bill Brinnier outright lied during Kelly’s last meeting about events that I personally witnessed.) It’s troubling, and people should at least have a chance to hear the truth about the kind of characters they’re now throwing flowers at the feet of…even if, in the end, humans continue to be what they are and they ultimately don’t care.

To wrap this up, Ted and Bill…if you’re reading this (and I’m sure you are) …given what I’ve seen of you already, I’m sure you’ll feel the need to retaliate because I’m simply reporting what you did. Just leave Kelly out of it. She’s no longer involved and doesn’t deserve to have you creeps following her throughout the rest of her life. If you feel so inclined to retaliate, then do so against me. I’m the one writing this, not her. Lie about me, defame me…I don’t really care. Frankly, I would feel worse if I left Craig alone in the wilderness as the only person with the balls to speak out about what’s really going on here.

A good video/lecture as to why we need a FBI investigation or Congressional investigation of 9/11

part one WTC7

Part 2: NIST’s false statements about the Twin Towers' collapse

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6F16xBQPMU

The 2001 Anthrax Letter Attacks that enhanced the lie that Iraq had WMDs.

Who planted the lies on network news that the Anthrax was made by Iraq?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hnsBSkUxwQ

Bentonite is an absorbent clay and is a major component of kitty litter, but the main stream media linked it to an alleged Iraqi biological weapons program. Even as the inspection program was being shut down my Madeline Albright and after the inspectors found no evidence of any Iraqi nuke or biological program.

ABC news totally lied that a US government investigation found the presence of bentonite in the anthrax letter’s type of anthrax bacteria spores. The three or four "well-placed but separate sources" anonymous sources that went to journalist Brian Ross of ABC news and him that the US government had analyzed the anthrax particles and they found traces of bentonite, they TOTALLY LIED.

ABC news admitted this was false, THAT THRERE WAS NEVER ANY US GOVERNMENT ANALYSIS finding bentonite ( aka those high level sources lied to get the US to invade IRAQ!

To this day, ABC news or Brian Ross refused to disclose these high lever source.

I have re-written my book, "9/11 Hard Evidence"

I am trying to put the best evidence in the beginning of this book. Evidence proving explosions and/or incendiaries are the real reason all three WTC building TOTALLY collapsed and listing the lies we have been told in the NIST and the 9/11 Commission reports. Events proving people knew before hand that the attack was going to happen, like the Dancing Israelis and insider trading and how did the alleged suspects know that the US air force would be doing war games and where to fly the airplanes where the US had poor FAA and NORAD radar survaillance and why was the FBI's anthrax investigation bad. Here is a URL where I saw a push for the war against Iraq due to the threat from anthrax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hnsBSkUxwQ

And In addition Zionist Jerome Hauer went on TV within hours of the 9/11 attacks to tell everyone that "It... certainly has the fingerprints of somebody like bin Laden"

Richard, I don’t think you have yet figured out the harm you are doing by propping up people like David Chandler as they seek to gain total control of the movement. But the harm is considerable. It seems that no matter how dishonest and how outrageous the behavior of Chandler and his cabal, “leaders” like you will protect them. You help these people to maintain a veneer of “respectability,” which they use to do more and more damage.

You are now adding to the damage you did in 2011 when you put your name to a statement (written by someone else) that was labeled “Complete Withdrawal of Support for CIT.” If you want to be a truly unifying figure, you’ll withdraw that piece of propaganda that you were pressured into endorsing. It remains a significant blemish on your record.

I would have thought you had learned your lesson, but it seems you haven’t. Your reverence for the latest rewarmed 9/11 organization – the “new” International Center for 9/11 Justice – is misplaced to put it gently. In fact, your characterization of this organization as something new, fresh, and “ambitious” is disingenuous. This is more of a marketing effort than any genuine attempt to expose truth.

You refer to the people behind this organization as a “consortium of well-respected influential figures in the 9/11 Truth Movement.” Unfortunately, the worst of them have been influential. But not in a good way. One has to be ignorant of the history of the movement to find Chandler “well-respected.” He is easily the most divisive and toxic figure in the movement (of course, I’ll be accused of fitting this description simply for daring to call him out for his dishonest behavior, which I have plenty of evidence for).

You wrote that the creation of this “new” organization effectively resurrects “the best of three prominent technically-oriented organizations in the Movement that have received far less attention than they have deserved over the last decade or so.” At best, this is an exaggeration.

I’m not sure whether the Toronto Hearings or the Journal of 9/11 Studies actually qualify as “organizations” at all. The former was a conference, and the latter is a website controlled by Kevin Ryan who is part of the very cabal that Chandler has made his full-time preoccupation over the past 13 plus years. Ryan has all but called CIT agents and has posted a video that mocks them. How academic of him. He also wrote in his book Another Nineteen that the best way to challenge the official story of 9/11 is to "accept as much of the official account as possible." (He writes that he favors this strategy for the sake of “simplicity” and to avoid “adding unnecessary complications.”)

Then we have the only thing one could actually call an organization, the now dormant 9/11 Consensus Panel. This effort has joined the other two in marginalizing, if not outright suppressing, the essential evidence that the U.S. government faked a plane crash at the Pentagon. Panel co-founder Elizabeth Woodworth (joining Chandler and Ryan as board members of the new group) admits that no points that address what caused the damage to the Pentagon were ever considered by the panel. Even if they had been, Chandler and fellow cabal members Jon Cole, Fran Shure, and Dwain Deets would have had the votes to defeat such points. (Only four votes were needed to block any point.)

Most concerning about your gushing and uncritical support for this “organization” is that it seems to coincide with your new meeting of the minds with one of your former harsh critics, Ted Walter. You have something very significant in common, you both feel you were wronged by AE911Truth, and the transfer of influence from AE to your efforts and to the IC911J seems awfully self-serving. But while it may be great for you and Ted, it is doing real damage to the organization that still represents more than 3,500 architects and engineers.

Your legacy in this movement will be significantly affected by how you deal with Chandler and company in the months and years ahead. You have failed this test in the past. But it’s not too late to do the right thing.

19 Arabs with box cutters blew up NS Pipeline, and the Zaporizhe Dam on a double suicide mission...

The same Nazi CIA cabal that shot JFK and RFK are the ones we need to prosecute for 9/11, and if you don't know who they are look for a Ukrainian flag... Lee Hamilton, for example...

Anyone with three brain cells watched WTC1 and 2 go down and knew it was an inside job. They heard GW admit that he watched them go down in real time from 1,000 miles away, impossible without pre-knowledge.

But 60 % of Americans still believe the official story.

You are wasting precious electrons writing and publishing this stuff.

The morons will remain morons no matter what.

So suppose The International Center for 9/11 Justice finds that WTC was an inside job with USA and Israel participating? What will happen then? Who will go to prison?

If the answer is nothing and no one what is the point?
