Raw Story Covers WTC 7 Digital Billboard in NYC
"Truthers commemorate 9/11 with Times Square ad showing WTC 7 imploding on infinite loop"
A group calling itself Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth is commemorating the thirteenth anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center by displaying a massive digital advertisement in Times Square that purports to show World Trade Center 7 (WTC 7) falling in a controlled demolition.
“WTC 7 came down in a classic controlled demolition,” the advertisement claims. “The government says fire brought it down, but anyone who watches the video can see otherwise.” Behind those words, video of WTC 7 falling repeats on a loop.
The digital advertisement is 15 seconds long, and will be displayed on 45-foot by 45-foot screens that will be visible, the group claims, to almost 100,000 people daily — including employees of The New York Times.
“Even though we will no longer be speaking directly to the folks at The New York Times, most Times employees will see the ad on a daily basis, thus making it impossible for them to ignore the truth about what happened at the World Trade Center on 9/11,” the group wrote on its website. “The upside, of course, is that millions of people will be treated to a high-impact viewing experience of the truth about the third skyscraper destroyed on 9/11.”
Experts have debunked the group’s claim that WTC 7 fell in a controlled demolition. According to the official report, WTC 7 imploded after fires burned out of control for nearly seven hours. The sprinkler systems that would have contained the fires — and possibly even prevent the building’s collapse — — were connected to the New York City water supply, which had been damaged when the Twin Towers fell.
Conspiracy theorists point to the fact that WTC 7 housed both Secret Service and Central Intelligence Agency offices as proof that the United States government destroyed the building in order to hide evidence of its complicity in the events of 9/11.

RawStory Now Pathetic
During George Bush the Lesser's reign Raw Story published a lot of 9/11 Truth articles.
Since Obama Peace Prize President was selected and installed RawStory has degraded
into a pathetic mouthpiece for the PTB and their agenda much like DailyKos.
The comments are worth looking at as there are a couple of troll/shills ineffectively bullshitting a majority of genuine TRUTHSEEKERS.
So, what is going on?
"RawStory has degraded into a pathetic mouthpiece for the PTB and their agenda much like DailyKos;" does this mean that they sold out or were infiltrated or does it just mean that they fell for the hype of: a Nobel Prize or the true "democratic" moment of electing someone from the underclass? Is this degradation a Mockingbird kind of thing or is it just the go red/go blue fatuousness that passes for political discourse in this country. "I got a Letterman's sweater with a letter up front I wear to school everyday.....be true to your school" (Beach Boys) I think of that Beach Boy's song every time I hear someone assume that just because you criticize one party you are lockstep with the other. I did read the article and the comments and you are right about your assessment. PhD Scott Kaufman wrote: "Experts have debunked the group’s claim that WTC 7 fell in a controlled demolition." You just have to wonder if he really got his degree from the JREF school of writing. But look on the bright side; every trial balloon they send up, like this Raw article, every kite they fly has a rag-tag tale of dissent tied to it in the comment sections, enough so, that even some publications have suspended that function.
ALL OF THE ABOVE...BELOW

It's coverage
Raw Story has 9 million monthly readers, and although they're horrible and compromised, at least they did cover the WTC 7 billboard and are allowing uncensored comments. Neither Daily Kos or Huffington Post has covered this at all, and they restrict and censor comments. The title is good -- it shows the ad in all it's glory, mentions AE911Truth and gives the Rethink911.org site. Some of their readers will check out the info or see Building 7 for perhaps the first time.
I'm posting comments as joltwagon. Joe is right -- there are a few shills or bullshitters trying to distract and distort, but they have nothing. Over 2,858 comments.
