This article isn't really new for anyone who's read the Fourteen Points letter and my previous posts; i created this as an overview of some of the points and the issues, both for people who are seeking info, and for activists to use. Also to maintain and expand visibility for the letter; OpEdNews.com is crawled regularly by Google- and i'm still experimenting with keywords, tags and spelling to see what happens with search "alerts" from Google and Yahoo by email; for some reason the PRWeb release from 4/22, which had been in a Google News alert that night, just showed up again today in a News alert.

It's my pleasure to inform you that Fourteen Points has been translated into Italian and published in top Italian 9/11 inquiry website www.luogocomune.net, here: http://www.luogocomune.net/site/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2514

I provided the basic translation, while webmaster Massimo Mazzucco provided the much needed revision.

I have just published my German translation of „Fourteen Points of Agreement“:

If anybody who speaks German finds any flaws: Für Verbesserungsvorschläge jeder Art bin ich offen und dankbar!

Fourteen Points of Agreement with Official Government Reports on the World Trade Center Destruction

In one of my Communications classes, today we gave 5 minute speeches on a “memorable experience”. I used the occasion to talk about last Friday, April 18, 2008 when the Fourteen Points paper was posted on 911Blogger.com. It went something like this:

“Do you still think that jet fuel brought down the World Trade Center?”

Last Friday, I was thinking that today I would be talking to ya’ll about the first time I saw Loose Change, the online DVD that quote is from, which a lot of you have probably heard of. However, last Friday night something happened, that, imho, is just as memorable and is more immediately significant.

If You’re on 9/11 Truth Listserves

Then you may have already gotten the posts I pasted below; posting them here for posterity.

Background; this morning I was checking my comprehensive Google Alerts and was really disturbed about the extraordinary lack of links to articles referencing “Fourteen Points”. To make sure this article was getting in front of people’s faces, I blasted off the below email to about 30 independent media and credible truth activists, then posted it to the following listserves directly from my Gmail account:

9/11 Questions Meetup Portland discussion list
911truthalliance

911 Visibility Project Action List
Blogger Brigade

this should help (I rehashed earlier posts into a press release, posting it here for posterity. Hopefully, this will get picked up as news all over the world. Woe to Google if they don't index it.

Fourteen Points: World Trade Center Destruction Media Visibility Week
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/04/prweb881404.htm

A letter has just been published in The Open Civil Engineering Journal published by bentham.org -OCIEJ is a mainstream, peer-reviewed scientific engineering journal. This event is significant because the authors, Dr. Steven E. Jones, Dr. Frank M. Legge, Kevin R. Ryan, Anthony F. Szamboti, James R. Gourley are known for hypothesizing that on 9/11 WTC 1, 2 & 7 were destroyed by controlled demolition. In their open letter they seek to reach agreement on grounds for "productive discussion" on the subject of the destruction of WTC 1, 2 & 7, based on the 14 points outlined in the letter Fourteen Points of Agreement with Official Government Reports on the World Trade Center Destruction, which in turn are based on assertions of fact already made by NIST and FEMA.

Does anyone else besides me think it would be good to keep the “Fourteen Points” Digg Button at the top of 911Blogger all week? Just the Digg Button (or w/ a short blurb), so every new visitor sees it? Say so in Comments.

Thank god i don’t have a job (full time student, come summer I’ll be looking)

As a result of my flexible schedule, today I was able to:

1) Post the Fourteen Points article on IndyMedia.org:

April 16th through April 22nd has been designated the Week of Truth in a concerted effort to break 9/11 Truth into the mainstream dialogue by pushing a book, The Shell Game, by Steve Alten, to the top of the New York Times Bestseller List. Simultaneously, truth is breaking out in other places, the movement, and truth are on the upswing.

Week of Truth.org

April 16th-22nd was designated the ”“Week of Truth” in a concerted grassroots campaign by 9/11 Truth activists to break 9/11 Truth into the national dialogue by pushing a compelling work of fiction, The Shell Game to the top of the New York Times Bestseller list and get the author, Steve Alten, back on national television and radio shows. It might be easier to herd cats than to get a large, diverse, growing movement to focus on any one particular action. The movement is not monolithic and there are distinct disagreements on many aspects of 9/11, although even government officials are finally beginning to come to the consensus that the official 9/11 Report was a massive lie or cover-up and that, there has yet to be a genuine investigation into the crime of the attacks that took place on September 11th 2001.

By happy synchronicity, one of the best spokespeople of the 9/11 Truth Movement, Dr. David Ray Griffin, has also recently published a book- 9/11 Contradictions- An Open Letter to Congress and the Press. The book has been sent to Congressional Representatives, as well as to Senators and succinctly outlines 25 major contradictions within the official story, which together demonstrate that, by definition, a story with so many internal contradictions is an “outrageous” conspiracy theory, which should not be tolerated by honest journalists or public servants. As The Shell Game has moved up on Amazon charts, so has 9/11 Contradictions.

Two papers were accepted for publication out of six submitted to peer-reviewed technical journals after advice to do so from Noam Chomsky

Mathaba.Net - "Fourteen Points of Agreement with Official Government Reports on the World Trade Center Destruction" was published by the Open Civil Engineering Journal on Friday, giving cause to jubilation amongst the many activists who have been seeking recognition of the glaring contradictions and impossibilities of the official version of the September 11, 2001 attacks within the United States of America.

Hi everyone,

Just this week, I, and I hope everyone else, will be attempting to create more media visibility for Fourteen Points of Agreement with Official Government Reports on the World Trade Center Destruction http://www.bentham-open.org/pages/content.php?TOCIEJ/2008/00000002/00000001/35TOCIEJ.SGM

Dr. Steven E. Jones, Dr. Frank M. Legge, Kevin R. Ryan, Anthony F. Szamboti, and James R. Gourley have created an ingenious summary of 14 assertions of fact by NIST and FEMA (that actually contradict their conclusions) that now have to be addressed by the scientific community due to the article's publication in a peer-reviewed civil engineering journal. This is a historic moment, and I am extremely grateful for their consistent efforts.

So, anyway, I'm going to be putting it out there in the world and on the web, and posting updates, new ideas/material as appropriate- please chime in with comments, ideas, links, etc.

I've launched the Digg 9/11 Truth: "14 Points of WTC Destruction" Media Visibility Week with this post over at OpEdNews.com http://www.opednews.com/maxwrite/diarypage.php?did=7091

Be the media revolution. Below, I’ve pasted links to all the news-ranking sites where I’ve submitted the Fourteen Points article; please boost it at these links, if you can, and please post links in the comments here (and I'll edit them into the article while the edit window's open) to the sites you’ve submitted it to, so we can all boost those, too.

Digg.com and similar websites are primary sources of news/info, community, discussion and knowledge/opinion development for a growing number of people. Digg.com is the biggest news-ranking site on the net and is growing more popular daily. By submitting links to Digg, posting the link at 911Blogger and our other favorite sites, and then forwarding it to our email lists, we help articles get seen by people as they’re hot news, and increase the visibility and relevance of issues in general. If you know a more popular site than Digg, please link it in the comments.

Just posting the Digg.com link again to make sure it gets noticed and dugg by users here; i can't find the article on Digg by searching the headline (!?!), but it is at the top of google and yahoo (nothing in News, though)

http://digg.com/general_sciences/Fourteen_Points_of_Agreement_World_Trade_Center_Destruction

Please Digg it before their bury brigade does it in

And anyone on BloggerBrigade- did you get the link? I sent it 3 times, but it hasn't come back to me- i know i'm paranoid, but i thought i usually got a copy of what i post to that list...
