Reinvestigate 9/11

November 5, 2009

Reinvestigate 911 has gained more momentum following Monday's meeting in the House of Commons and a well attended public meeting at SOAS the same evening. The Commons meeting was attended by one Peer, one senior MP and several aides to various MPs, some senior. About eight more MPs from all parties had asked to attend but due to last minute events and diary clashes were not present. (This is normal, the system keeps MPs overburdened with meetings and short of help.)

MPs and aides contacted after the meeting have said they found the presentation impressive. Several one-on-one follow-up meetings are being arranged.

There were presentations from UK 9/11 victim Scott Forbes, nanotechnology expert Niels Harrit and 911 The New Evidence author Ian Henshall.

We now have a small base of solid support within the Palace of Westminster. Plans for a further meeting in the next few months are being developed. Other action points under discussion include asking the Iraq Inquiry to scrutinise the official 9/11 story, pressing publicly and through informal contacts for fair treatment in the media, and setting up a Parliamentary Group which could eventually hold hearings.

Since the Parliamentary campaign launched in July, Reinvestigate 911 has been contacted for information or requests to come to meetings by people who have in the past held posts of Foreign Secretary, Defence Minister, and select committee chair. Several more have been members of cabinets and shadow cabinets. Clearly these people are unimpressed by the assumption of the US/UK corporate media that the official 9/11 story is the whole truth.

The private meeting in the House of Commons was followed by a public meeting with the same speakers attended by some 120 people in a packed room at SOAS (School of Oriental and African Studies) at the University of London.

The events were advertised in a full page ad in The Independent,

ACTION POINTS

A business sponsor, Coffee Plant, paid for the ad in the hope of triggering a response that will fund the next wave of activity. This seems to be working. So far about a third of the costs of the ad have come back in donations and book sales. If everyone still thinking of making a donation or buying a book does so NOW, most or all of the money will all have come back. (To do this go to the website where we have a paypal facility, or call 0208 453 1144 to make a credit card payment).

Please contact us if you would be able to help with leafleting for selected candidates at the general election, expected in May. Meanwhile if you have any time spare and skills in the following areas, please get in touch
* internet marketing and using email lists,
* telephone skills (for our lobbying operation for the next meeting in Parliament)
* organising events (we are considering a comedy and/or music tour)

We are on the lookout for more contacts in music and comedy, and of course the media. We will send a free copy of 911 The New Evidence to any opinion former who promises to read it.
