Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

I was asked by the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth to write a statement on why 9/11 still matters. This is what I sent them:

9/11 matters because the truth matters, and because our government and media should not be lying to us. Moreover, the truth about what happened on 9/11 is, first and foremost, a scientific question, and there is nothing more dangerous than science being politicized. When top scientists kowtow to pressure to, not only accept, but endorse, bogus government claims, it corrupts science to the core; it obliterates it. Living in a world with corrupt science is one of the worst nightmares imaginable. When we pine for 9/11 truth, we are pining for intellectual freedom- across the canvas of life. We are saying that scientific truth is not issued by fiat, by political authority, but rather, by cold, unbiased, unbought scientists. In this case, even common, everyday horse sense tells you that a fire at the top of a steel skyscraper cannot possibly cause the whole thing to fall straight down into its own footprint. The government scientists who endorse that scenario are a disgrace to their profession. 

But, there is another distinct reason why we must pursue 9/11 truth, and that is, that in response to 9/11, the U.S. government went out and launched wars that killed millions of people, and mostly innocent men, women, and children. I am referring to the post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. Obviously, if the Twin Towers and Building 7 were brought down in controlled demolitions, then Osama bin laden was not responsible, which means that the entire basis for attacking Afghanistan was fraudulent and bogus. Yet, that war was waged for 20 years, killing 176,000 Afghans (according to Brown University), and we had no right to kill those people or get them killed. All that blood is on U.S. hands, and there needs to be a reckoning. 9/11 truth is the way to that reckoning.  

The official story of 9/11 is an insult to your intelligence. It is intellectual tyranny. If you respect your own mind, you need to fight it.
