Berkeley Event

Sacramento 9/11 Truth activists traveled to Berkeley on Sunday, September 24, 2006, to attend the KPFA event, 9/11 & American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out (after the recently released book Volume I of the same title). The event was sold-out (with over 800 in attendance) and many waited in a long line to try to buy tickets at the door. Ray McGovern hosted the event following an introduction by Bonnie Faulkner of KPFA. The first speaker was David Ray Griffin who noted that the 9/11 Truth Movement is a broad movement that covers the entire political spectrum (not solely leftists as the media would have people believe) and noted a list of conservative and libertarian 9/11 Truth Activists. He concluded noting that defending the Official Conspiracy Theory is an irrational and unscientific approach. Kevin Ryan was the second speaker noting many of the shortcomings and obvious oversights of the NIST report. Griffin and Ryan were followed by Peter Dale Scott, and Peter Phillips (event info. and brief speaker bios). The event was filmed by KPFA and C-SPAN who will be airing the event within a few weeks. Once airdates are known they will be posted.
