The RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) is reviewing its policy on hiring out 66 Portland Place following a storm of criticism over its hosting of a group claiming that New York’s Twin Towers were brought down through a controlled explosion.

We're In a Lot of Trouble
Jason Leopold and Jeffrey Kaye wrote a story that exposed a lie. If we ignore the easily documented lies, which incidentally help to give credibility to the idea that we were lied to about that day and need real justice and accountability, then we are doomed to fail as a cause. The 2,973 people that were brutally murdered that day, their family members, and the people of the world deserve better.
Image Comics' "The Big Lie" Asks Some Big Questions
It has been nearly 10 years since 9/11, and the tragedy is still on the minds of many Americans. One of those, writer and artist Rick Veitch, is convinced we haven’t been told the complete truth about it. “If one scratches the surface of the commission report, one finds huge holes in the official story. There’s also a lot of disinformation out there and oddball conspiracy theories that need to be debunked. People who are paying attention are asking for a real in-depth investigation into all these nagging questions. That’s what our book is all about.”
New Documents: Intelligence Withheld From 9/11 Probe
The “intelligence failures” leading up to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon are an issue the media – and lawmakers – put to bed years ago, despite the fact that new information continues to trickle out, undercutting the integrity of the official investigations into who knew what and when.

Shahzad Book: ISI Scripted Mumbai Attacks
The Mumbai terror attacks that killed 166 people and brought India and Pakistan to the brink of war were scripted by ISI officers and approved before execution by al-Qaida commanders, according to a book just written by slain Pakistani journalist Syed Saleem Shahzad. The 40-year-old reporter in his book titled “Inside Al Qaeda and the Taleban – beyond bin Laden and 9/11” describes the Mumbai plan as one pushed through by Ilyas Kashmiri, a key al-Qaida ally with wide links with the Pakistan defense establishment. Shahzad, who was an authority on terrorism in Afghanistan and the neighbourhood, says in the book that the plan was authored by Inter-Services Intelligence officers and executed by Lashkar-e-Taiba.
Whistleblower Pakistani Reporter Found Dead
A surge of outrage and grief jolted Pakistan last night after the discovery of the body of a journalist who had highlighted alleged links between al-Qa’ida and the country’s military, two days after he went missing in Islamabad.

The Kevin Fenton Collection
You often hear me say that you should read the works of Kevin Fenton with regards to 9/11. Here is my collection of his works. He was very helpful to me with regards to my “Who Is?” list. He wrote several of the introductions for it. He has also been a major contributor to the Complete 9/11 Timeline. He supposedly has a book coming out called “Disconnecting The Dots: How CIA and FBI officials helped enable 9/11 and evaded government investigation,” and last I heard, it was still coming out, but I don’t know when unfortunately.
Psychoanalyzing Dissent at the 9/11 Museum
Instead of simply concerning themselves with preserving the most accurate historical record possible, the folks at the 9/11 Museum are hosting an evening of pontification on the “psychology of Conspiracy Theories” and promise the event’s speakers will tell us “how we should view” such theories.
