For me, it was the relationship between Bush, the Bin Ladens and the Saudis. That so many countries provided advanced warnings and the two countries that did not were Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

On top of that the official investigation whitewash. It seemed the fox was investigating the chicken coop.

It wasn't until much later that I heard about WTC7.

I'm listing two years, because it was President Boosh himself who inspired me to look at "outrageous conspiracy theories"... On November 10th, 2001 I tuned into President George Walker Bush's address to the United Nations. He said;

"We must speak the truth about terror. Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th; malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists, themselves, away from the guilty."

Personally, I was waiting very impatiently for the Boosh admin. to provide some proofs about "al Qaeda" involvement in 9/11, instead, what I got was advice to steer clear of "outrageous conspiracy theories". I immediately logged on to my dial-up connection and searched "september 11 2001 conspiracy theories". Well, I got what I searched for: Richard Hoagland's "Enterprise Mission" website, and I got side-tracked in a never-ending rabbit-hole of Masonic smoke and mirrors. Interesting, but ultimately, it got me nowhere, and I consider 2002 a wasted year.

In 2003 I was posting regularly on the original 'SmirkingChimp' website, at the time, an oasis of anti-Boosh sentiment, and it was there that several posters kept bugging me, and bugging me, to take a closer look at the 'collapse' of the WTC buildings. Originally, I was unconvinced that anything but the official story happened, and a misunderstanding of the structure of the towers closed my mind to demolition theories completely. Then, I read Nafeez Ahmed's "The War on Freedom" and realized that I needed to reassess everything I thought I knew about 9/11. Later, I watched the "Confronting the Evidence" DVD, which led me to re-consider demolition theories. Ultimately, it wasn't until I traveled to Utah to see a physics professor lecture about the "collapses" in 2006, that I decided that yes indeed, "Houston, we have a problem."

( EDIT: in between 2004-2006 I posted at DemocraticUnderground.com and started a blog at GNN.tv )

I was a deep skeptic of George W. Bush in 1999 after reading Molly Ivins book: "Shrub".

Molly revealed deep character flaws in Bush's history with a chronic willingness to deceive anyone for any reason. That, and more research into the family history, convinced me Bush was afflicted with a dangerous sociopathy that could manifest great evil if promoted to a position of power.

When Bush "took" office I channeled the future of America as "ominous" and weeks of interrupted sleep followed. I recall attending a Labor Party meeting where I discussed my feelings of impending disaster with members.

On 9/11/2001, I witnessed the 2nd plane hit the WTC tower on TV. At the time I was not aware that Alex Jones had predicted a "False Flag" operation was imminent in the US. (Jones is an astounding patriot equal to the best tales of Paul Revere 's midnight ride)

Already a skeptic of the Bush administration, I looked for - and found - holes in the official story from the start. Then came the Popular Mechanics pseudo-intellectual disclaimer. The PM article stopped me in my tracks - not because I thought the writers had successfully debunked my skepticism -- but because America was up against a formidable allied forces where corrupted officials, military leaders and the news media were being complicit with Bush's conspiracy to deceive the American people to institute a fascist state.

I shelved my activism - but not my interest - in the 9/11 False Flag until I attended the December 15, 2007 Boston Tea Party. Presentations and conversations with principal investigators and the many established activists was all I needed to jump in with both feet.

Already an activist with Veterans For Peace in Gainesville, I began working to expand the VFP voice of "Bring the Troops Home" to include the VFP support for a new 9/11 investigation after Cindy Sheehan went public to support 9/11 truth and a "valid" investigation of 9/11.

EXPOSING FALSE FLAGS for SUSTAINABLE PEACE:

War profiteers are doing to this generation in Iraq what they did to my generation in Viet Nam...and no veteran working for Peace for the past 35 years is happy about it.

The "Anti-war" and "Peace" groups may eventually take some well-deserved credit bringing the troops home. But when peace efforts fail to address False Flags as the root cause of illegal wars they risk condemning future generations to repeat - yet again - the war crimes of Viet Nam and now Iraq/Afghanistan.

"Waving signs to automobile traffic that say: "Support The Troops, Bring Them Home" and "Honk For Peace" is effective but doesn't address what the public needs to know to wage a sustainable Peace that cannot be undermined again by treason.

The False Flag that involved the US in Viet Nam was the "Gulf of Tonkin" lie. This operation was used to convince congress to vote for the deaths of 58,000 troops and over 1 million Asian children and civilians. But because the truth of the Tonkin lie was not established for years after the war, peace activist signs were unable to carry the people's mandate for permanent peace that said:

IMPEACH LBJ - GULF of TONKIN was a FALSE FLAG LIE.
or
IMPEACH LBJ - ATTACK on USS LIBERTY WAS FALSE FLAG MASS MURDER of SHIP's CREW (as a pretext for US invasion and control of the middle-east)

Now...for the first time the American people have robust evidence of a False Flag operation while the illegal war is still in progress and the criminals are still alive to be prosecuted for their crimes. This time, Peace activists don't have to wait for historians and congressional hearing to expose the war crimes and treason years after the guilty are revered by revisionist historians.

The evidence is robust, world-wide that criminal elements within the US government engineered the 9/11 terror attack as a pretext to wage war and illegal occupation. Currently, the Japanese Parliament is moving for an independent investigation of 9/11 to resolve the cause of death of several Japanese nationals killed in the attacks.

Peace activists need to wake up and smell 9/11 as an opportunity for permanent peace. Other wise we run the risk of bringing the troops home to go out again to fight for fascism.

Knowledge of historical False Flag operations is essential to understanding 9/11. Alex Jones' "TERROR STORM" is a good place to start researching. Jones effectively covers the history and motives of False Flag terrorism intended to control the public will.

Many are astounded to learn LBJ was probably a bigger terrorist than Osama Bin Laden.

What is the goal of the poll?

Asking Tom Daschle to "limit the scope" of the Congressional Inquiry (depending on who you ask, they may have asked him not to investigate it at all). Then, after hearing about how no one in Government had any idea something like 9/11 could happen, that there were no warnings... over and over and over again, news about the August 6th, PDB came out. Then, I saw the families had to fight for an investigation.

During this time, I was definitely suspicious, but not completely down the rabbit hole. It wasn't until a friend of mine sent me this article that I really started to research the attacks. That article, as well as finding out that they WANTED to go to war.

Once I found out they wanted to go to war, I was pretty much off to the races. I didn't know a 9/11 Truth Movement existed until June 2004 when I saw 9/11 CitizensWatch on C-SPAN (RealPlayer required). Up until that time, I did my own research, contacted my local and state representatives, the media, etc... I did that for about a year or so. I would say sometime in late 2002/early 2003 is when I finally got started.

After seeing Citizenswatch on C-SPAN, I called Kyle and asked him if there was anything I could do to help. Then, I got introduced to several different 9/11 sites, and settled at septembereleventh.org. There, I met Janice Matthews, and a bunch of other people...

I don't know exactly when I started. I do know, however, that I haven't stopped since I did.

While some friends of mine had mentioned 911 was an inside Job, I didn't start considering it seriously until I saw the media etc attacking Kevin Barrett everyday in the news and going after his job etc. Then I watched him make a couple of comments and frankly he didn't seem too "kooky" to me, he seemed like a responsible college professor etc. A few days later after surfing the net, I love that term, my eyes opened up and my heart started beating faster and for a few days I was so disturbed (maybe even paranoid ) . I really didn't want to tell my wife and family for awhile, I saw how simple life was still for them and I remembered how easy it was to live in that unaware dream like state. But alas things are much different now and the truth is our only chance. Some people say aren't you afraid that they may kill us, but the truth is they already are and have. Sometimes when I get discouraged I see great comments on this site, or hear some very smart people on the 911 truth team, and when I think of the suffering of people like Donna Marsh O'connor, her I am taking back my daughter speech really moves me. I am more determined never to let it go!

What's the point if we can't help each other and try to safeguard the world for our children.

that the story behind JFK was Bullsh**t. In looking for more info on line i stumbled across Loose Change. After seeing how fast , and the way the towers came down i was a believer from that point on.
The more i looked the more convinced i was. I find it hard to believe that anyone who looks can't see it.
It also opened my eye's to how manipulated ,and controled our major media is. That is the part that scares the hell outa me.
I've spent hundreds of hours looking into things that the masses are unaware of. Like googling the money masters, and learning what i felt all along. Our politicians are nothing more the puppets on a string, and the two party system sold out us americans a long time ago.
(Their are exceptions to my past beliefs that all politicians are crooked. Ex Cynthia McKenny, Jesse Ventura)
Another problem with our country is the unfederal , no reserve bank.
In my opinion for first time truth seekers. It has to be Richard Gages How the towers fell.
