Fury as academics claim 9/11 was 'inside job' by JAYA NARAIN
The 9/11 terrorist attack on America which left almost 3,000 people dead was an "inside job", according to a group of leading academics.
Around 75 top professors and leading scientists believe the attacks were puppeteered by war mongers in the White House to justify the invasion and the occupation of oil-rich Arab countries.
The claims have caused outrage and anger in the US which marks the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on Monday.
But leading scientists say the facts of their investigations cannot be ignored and say they have evidence that points to one of the biggest conspiracies ever perpetrated.
Professor Steven Jones, who lectures in physics at the Brigham Young University in Utah, says the official version of events is the biggest and most evil cover up in history.
He has joined the 9/11 Scholars for Truth whose membership includes up to 75 leading scientists and experts from universities across the US.
Prof Jones said: "We don't believe that 19 hijackers and a few others in a cave in Afghanistan pulled this off acting alone.
"We challenge this official conspiracy theory and, by God, we're going to get to the bottom of this."
In essays and journals, the scientists are giving credence to many of the conspiracy theories that have circulated on the internet in the past five years.
They believe a group of US neo-conservatives called the Project for a New American Century, set on US world dominance, orchestrated the 9/11 attacks as an excuse to hit Iraq, Afghanistan and later Iran.
The group says scientific evidence over the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon is conclusive proof.
Professor Jones said it was impossible for the twin towers to have collapsed in the way they did from the collision of two aeroplanes.
He maintains jet fuel does not burn at temperatures high enough to melt steel beams and claims horizontal puffs of smoke seen during the collapse of the towers are indicative of controlled explosions used to bring down the towers.
The group also maintains World Trade Centre 7 - a neighbouring building which caught fire and collapsed later in the day - was only partially damaged but had to be destroyed because it housed a clandestine CIA station.
Professor James Fetzer, 65, a retired philosopher of science at the University of Minnesota, said: "The evidence is so overwhelming, but most Americans don't have time to take a look at this."
The 9/11 Commission dismissed the numerous conspiracy theories after its exhaustive investigation into the terror attacks.
Subsequent examinations of the towers' structure have sought to prove they were significantly weakened by the impact which tore off fire retardant materials and led the steel beams bending under heat and then collapsing.
Christopher Pyle, professor of constitutional law at Mt Holyoake College in Massachusetts, has dismissed the academic group.
He said: "To plant bombs in three buildings with enough bomb materials and wiring? It's too huge a project and would require far too many people to keep it a secret afterwards.
"After every major crisis, like the assassinations of JFK or Martin Luther King, we've had conspiracy theorists who come up with plausible scenarios for gullible people. It's a waste of time."
But University of Wisconsin assistant professor, Kevin Barrett, said experts are unwilling to believe theories which don't fit into their belief systems.
He said: "People will disregard evidence it if causes their faith to be shattered. I think we were all shocked. And then, when the voice of authority told us what happened, we just believed it."
As the fifth anniversary approached, the 9/11 Scholars for Truth is urging Congress to reopen the investigation claiming they have amassed a wealth of scientific evidence to prove their version of the terror attacks.

Just some really simple logic here.
So, the conspirators get explosives and wire them to the correct floors in the WTC. And, they do this without anyone in the building knowing they did this.
It is beyond refute that 2 planes hit the WTC. They were captured on video. The 2nd one was seen live by about 20,000,000 viewers on TV.
What I want them to explain to me is how:
1. They could get these 2 planes to to hit each tower at EXACLTY the same spot that the explosives were wired up.
2. (long, dramatic pause here) How did the planes, and the resulting fires, keep from destroying the explosives BEFORE they were detonated by the conspirators?
I felt my IQ drop 50 points just responding to this tripe.
Jeff,
Excellent post and your website totally destroys the arguments of those nuttjob professors.
Thank you!
I'm hoping that will work with the NY Slimes.
Wonders how much Money Soros invested into this little distraction
Here is one of the articles posted on the scholars for truth website: http://www.dissidentvoice.org/Sept06/Petras05.htm
Wow.
All you need to know about the author is in his bio:
James Petras, a former Professor of Sociology at Binghamton University, New York, owns a 50-year membership in the class struggle, is an adviser to the landless and jobless in Brazil and Argentina, and is co-author of Globalization Unmasked (Zed Books). His latest book is, The Power of Israel in the United States (Clarity Press, 2006). He can be reached at: jpetras@binghamton.edu.
I work for a college...you would be stunned at some of the loons we have teaching in higher education.
There is photographic evidence that planes flew into the twin towers. No plane flew into WTC-7. I think even the conspiracy nutjobs pretty much agree on this.
Now, if this WAS a conspiracy, why in the world would the evil doers want to bring down a building that HAD NOT been hit by a plane? That would be sure to stir up a flock of moonbats. If they were so clever so as to bring off a plot of this magnitude, why would they compromise everything by bringing down a third building? It just wouldn't make any sense at all.
What's more, the moonbats insist that the Bush Administration is the most incompetent in history, and Bush is a blithering idiot. How could such a bunch of idiots ever pull off a plot of this complexity?
The west is ripe for the picking...
But, But, But...if 9/11 was a government conspiracy, then there shouldn't have been any further attacks. There haven't been so the government must have done 9/11, after warning the jews to stay home... [ / moonbat mode sarc ]
Right. All to blame it on Iraq, so that the left could complain for years that "Bush attacked the wrong country."
What jerks.
Right!
The wacko's I havedebated have said that the bin Laden shown taking credit for the attack was a 'fake' bin Laden. No joke.
There are slugs living under the rocks in my garden with more brains than these guys.
In fact, the things that the slugs are eating have got more brains than these guys, and that's mostly vegetable matter.
He's probably one of those "professors" that 'got a degree' but never left the school to get a real job at a real company.
Jet fuel can most certainly- in combination with other substances and even on it's own- create enough heat to melt steel. With all the polycarbonate and other plastics and resins in building materials, along with all the broken windows acting as air vortexes, all that jet fuel combined with air rushing in broken windows could act just like a blow torch, and most probably did. This wanna be "professor" also does not understand the term "melting". It doesn't mean a substance has to turn into a pourable state. Metal sujected to heat and under extreme preasure will "melt" (more correctly-flow) much like granite does 5 miles below the surface of the earth. It looses it's tensile strength and become softer, like lead.
These guys are idiots. I hope students taking any classes from these "professors" change classes. I doubt any company in the real world of engineers would hire someone taught by a total morons like these. Their real agenda is obvious, they are members of the Marxist cult (the Democrat ultra left) with one goal in mind, to destroy America as we know it.
In the cases of these nuts, I think PhD stands for Piled higher and Deeper.
They made this all up since not one was made.
I could claim that 75 leading sports experts say the Cubs will win the world series this year. Does that make it true?
The leading academics need to work on their spelling.
