“9/11 Conspiracy Guru” David Ray Griffin
to speak at Boston University -- April 11, 2009
No single proponent of alternative theories concerning the events of September 11, 2001 has received more attention – supportive and critical – than Professor David Ray Griffin, who will be giving a public lecture at Boston University’s Morse Auditorium on Saturday, April 11, 2009 at 7pm. Dr. Griffin’s appearance at Boston University will be his first ever in Boston, after which he will embark on his second European tour, where he will present the most thorough, up-to-date and popularly accepted alternative critique of the 9/11 story to audiences in London, Brussels, Paris, Madrid, Lausanne, Lucerne, Hamburg, Stockholm, Trondheim, and Oslo. The BU event is co-sponsored by the Boston University School of Theology and the Boston 9/11 Truth Committee.

Howard Zinn, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at Boston University:
“David Ray Griffin's provocative questions about 9/11 deserve to be investigated and addressed.”
David Ray Griffin is Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Theology, Emeritus, at Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California, where he remains a co-director of the Center for Process Studies.
He has published (as author or editor) 34 books, primarily in theology, philosophy, and philosophy of religion, with special emphases on the problem of evil and the relation between science and religion.
Seven of his books deal with 9/11: The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11 (2004), The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions (2005), Christian Faith and the Truth about 9/11: A Call to Reflection and Action (2006), 9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out (2006, co-edited with Peter Dale Scott), Debunking 9/11 Debunking: An Answer to Popular Mechanics and Other Defenders of the Official Conspiracy Theory (2007), 9/11 Contradictions: An Open Letter to Congress and the Press, and his latest, The New Pearl Harbor Revisited: 9/11, the Cover-U and the Exposé (2008). In 2008 Griffin also made presentations on 9/11 at the European Parliament and the Japanese Diet.
In his latest book, The New Pearl Harbor Revisited: 911, the Cover -Up, and the Expose, Dr. Griffin once again invokes the tragic events of December 7, 1941, laying out further evidence for why he believes the attack of September 11, 2001 was an “inside job” — a false flag attack that can be traced to the highest levels of the US government.
In defense of his thesis, Griffin: –points out the continued failure of the mainstream press to investigate any of the questions and anomalies which appear to contradict the official account of 9/11, and claims the media dishonestly uses the term "conspiracy theory" to prevent criticism of the government’s conspiracy theory involving 19 “radical” Muslims.
–deconstructs, using expert testimony, the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) five “crucial claims” about the World Trade Center (WCT) collapses, showing that NIST, in fact, provides no supporting evidence for any of its claims. He further points out that NIST and the 911 Commission ignored vast amounts of relevant evidence for controlled demolition of all three WTC buildings (WTC 1, 2, 7) that collapsed on 9/11, among which are the sudden, symmetrical collapses at near-freefall speeds (in the case of WTC7 into its own building footprint), pools of molten metal under the debris pile for weeks indicating temperatures considerably higher than jet-fuel and office-materials fires could possibly generate, and residue of explosives found in WTC dust.
–presents what he suspects to be motives that high level government officials had for orchestrating the 9/11 attacks. Griffin contends that the 9/11 Commission suppressed any mention of these possible motives, as well as the fact that key members of the Bush Administration were signatories to the radical plan drawn up in 2000 by the neo-conservative think tank, Project for the New American Century (PNAC), for increased militarization and global dominance. The PNAC report suggested the necessity for a “New Pearl Harbor” event to persuade the American public in favor of its stated goals, hence, the title of Griffin’s first and latest exposé, The New Pearl Harbor (Revisited).
Griffin’s 9/11 books have been endorsed by Michael Chossudovsky, William Sloane Coffin, Harvey Cox, Richard Falk, Catherine Austin Fitts, David Griscom, Jim Hightower, British MP Michael Meacher, Mark Crispin Miller, Rosemary Ruether, Marcus Raskin, Paul Craig Roberts, Peter Dale Scott, Gerry Spence, Lorie Van Auken, Howard Zinn, and former CIA officials Robert Baer, Bill Christison, and Ray McGovern.
Four of these books have been given special recognition: The New Pearl Harbor and The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortion received the 2006 Helios Foundation Award for 2006. Debunking 9/11 Debunking was a Bronze Medal Winner in the 2008 Independent Publisher Book Awards. The New Pearl Harbor Revisited was named a “Pick of the Week” in 2008 by Publishers Weekly.
