From the February 2010 Idaho Observer:

1,000 Architects & Engineers Call for a Real 9/11 Investigation

The Shout Heard ‘Round the World on February 19

AE911Truth will hold a press conference on Friday, February 19, at 11:00 AM at the Marines Memorial Club and Hotel in San Francisco announcing their milestone achievement of obtaining 1,000 architects and engineers (A/E’s) petitioning for a real investigation into the destruction of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers.

Invitations were sent to more than 400 local AIA [American Institue of Architects] members, to many local, national, and international media outlets, and to more than 15,000 AE911Truth.org petition signers and supporters from around the world.

The press conference will include a large-screen scrolling display of all 1,000 A/E’s; statements by Richard Gage, AIA, founder of AE911Truth and several petition signers; and a short ten-minute presentation of “9/11: Blueprint for Truth” – the explosive evidence for the engineered destruction of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers. A press kit including the AE911Truth DVD will be made available to all attendees.

AE911Truth is working with We Are Change and other 9/11 Truth organizations to deliver hardcopy petition evidence press kits to every member of Congress. Their goal: A real WTC investigation.

“It’s an extraordinary statement that more than 1,000 architects and engineers have put their credibility and reputations on the line to demand a new investigation into 9/11. Compare this number to a dozen or so who are willing to publicly support the official NIST findings. We expect big breakthroughs in 2010.” Gage said.

Michael Newman, NIST Media Relations, when asked if NIST had any comments on the fact that over 1,000 architects and engineers have signed the petition, said that “NIST stands behind its reports.” Its position is the same as it always has been, and that “NIST saw no evidence of explosions or melted steel whatsoever.”

NIST will have another wake-up call soon. The voices of thousands of petition signers of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth and everyone who supports a new investigation grow louder and louder. Soon their irrefutable evidence in support of a new investigation will no longer be ignored. They are launching the effort to force NIST to retract their flawed and fraudulent reports. Using all avenues available, whether through the Office of the Inspector General, or through Congressional investigations, factually correct findings based on the evidence must become the official position. The American public must come to see such public statements of denial by NIST as being totally unacceptable.
