Scholars for 9/11 Truth is sponsoring its first conference, which is on "The Science and the Politics of 9/11: What's Controversial, What's Not", from 3-5 August 2007 at the Radisson Madison in Madison, WI. The purpose of this conference is to provide an opportunity (a) to review multiple proofs that the "official account" of 9/11 cannot possibly be true, (b) to explore some of the issues that have generated controversy in the research community, (c) to afford the opportunity for students of 9/11 to interact personally with leading investigators, and (d) for the participants to reflect upon 9/11 in the context of the neo-con agenda. A final session will be devoted to assessing the state of current research.

THE MADISON CONFERENCE
3-5 August 2007
"The Science and the Politics of 9/11:
What's Controversial, What's Not?"
Scholars for 9/11 Truth is sponsoring its first conference, which is
on "The Science and the Politics of 9/11: What's Controversial, What's
Not", from 3-5 August 2007 at the Radisson Madison in Madison, WI.
The purpose of this conference is to provide an opportunity (a) to review
multiple proofs that the "official account" of 9/11 cannot possibly be
true, (b) to explore some of the issues that have generated controversy
in the research community, (c) to afford the opportunity for students
of 9/11 to interact personally with leading investigators, and (d) for the
participants to reflect upon 9/11 in the context of the neo-con agenda.
A final session will be devoted to assessing the state of current research.
SPEAKERS:
This cutting-edge conference boasts thirteen stellar speakers:
ALEXANDER "ACE" BAKER, a music composer and producer, is
currently the co-composer for "American Dragster" on ESPN
and has also been the composer for independent feature films,
such as "Mohave Phone Booth", winner of multiple film festival
awards and scheduled for SHOWTIME. In scoring for film and
television, Ace works with digital video on a daily basis. He has
completed a study of television film fakery involving the hit on
the South Tower, which is entitled, "Chopper 5 Composite".
KEVIN BARRETT, Ph.D., the leading 9/11 activist in the
world today, is the author of TRUTH JIHAD, co-editor of
9/11 AND AMERICAN EMPIRE, and the founder of MUJCA-NET,

Jews in pursuit of the truth about 9/11. He will present
an overview about political aspects of 9/11 activism.
JAMES H. FETZER earned his Ph.D. in the history and the
philosophy of science. A former Marine Corps officer,
he has published 28 books, including, most recently, THE
9/11 CONSPIRACY: THE SCAMMING OF AMERICA, with
contributions from eleven experts on different aspects
of the case. The founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, he
also maintains the society's web site at 911scholars.org.
BOB FITRAKIS, Political Science Professor at Columbus State
Community College, Columbus, OH, earned his Ph.D. from
Wayne State University and his J.D. from The Moritz College
of Law at Ohio State. He has published many books, including
STAR WARS, WEATHER MODIFICATION, AND FULL SPECTRUM
DOMINANCE. An expert on election fraud, he has received
many awards for excellence in investigative journalism.
BARBARA HONEGGER, graduate of the Naval War College master's
program in National Security Decisionmaking and the Senior
Military Affairs Journalist at the Naval Postgraduate School,
the Department of Defense's premiere science, technology, and
national security affairs graduate school, she is the author
of "The Pentagon Attack Papers", which David Ray Griffin has
suggested will "transform the discussion of what happened at
the Pentagon". The author of OCTOBER SURPRISE, the first book
to expose the origins of Irangate, she was one of two members
of the Ronald Reagan Administration to resign from conscience.
JERRY V. LEAPHART, J.D., is an activist civil rights
trial lawyer and a bar member in New York, New Jersey,
and Connecticut. He has more than 33 years experience
as a lawyer in both domestic and international areas.
He was the moving force behind the use of the Data
Quality Act to submit Request for Correction to the
NIST, which may lead to shattering the 9/11 cover-up.
JIM MARRS, an investigative journalist and best-selling author,
has published books on many controversial subjects, including
UFOs, secret societies, and the assassination of JFK. CROSSFIRE,
for example, was a primary source for Oliver Stone's "JFK".
His work on 9/11 now includes INSIDE JOB: UNMASKING THE 9/11
CONSPIRACIES and THE TERROR CONSPIRACY: DECEPTION, 9/11
AND THE LOSS OF LIBERTY (co-authored with Barbara Honegger).
LEUREN MORET, an independent radiation specialist, has
worked in 46 countries as a professional geo-scientist. An
expert witness on DU weaponry at the International Criminal
Tribunal for Afghanistan in Tokyo in 2003, she was recently
appointed an expert witness on DU weaponry for the Canadian
Parliament. She has published on exotic weapons, including
HAARP, weather-modification, tectonic warfare, mind-control,
4th generation nuclear weapons, and scientific issues related
to 9/11. She also received a University of California President's
Mentoring Fellowship in the Sciences during her Ph.D. research
on atmospheric dust and the history of the Earth's magnetic field.
MORGAN REYNOLDS, Ph.D., Economics Professor Emeritus at

studies that support the conclusion that no big planes
crashed on 9/11. He has a web site at nomoregames.net.
DOUG ROKKE, Ph.D., former Director, U.S. Army Depleted
Uranium Project, earned his B.S. in physics at Western Illinois
and his M.S. and Ph.D. in physics and technology education
the University of Illinois. He has taught undergraduate and
graduate courses in environmental science, environmental
engineering, nuclear physics, and emergency management, and
served as a staff physicist at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign for 19 years. His military career spanned
four decades, including combat duty in Vietnam and Gulf War I.
DAVE VON KLEIST was among the first to spot problems with
the videos of the planes hitting the South Tower, which were
featured in his documentary on 9/11, "In Plane Site". He co-

BACKGROUND:
There is an important logical difference between refuting a theory,
such as the official account, and discovering how these things were
done. The piece, "Why doubt 9/11?", archived on 911scholars.org,
for example, offers about two dozen proofs that the government's
account is not only provably false but, in crucial respects, even
violates laws of physics, of engineering and of aerodynamics. It
follows that the official theory is "just fine" as long as you are
willing to believe impossible things! That's all it demands of us.
Figuring out how these things were done is another matter entirely.
The leading account of how this was done involves appealing to two
chemical "cutter charges" known as thermite and thermate, which is
the hypothesis advanced by Steven Jones. Unfortunately, the case
he has made for this approach appears to be weak from the point of
view of scientific inquiry. The growing realization that thermite/
thermate are most unlikely to be able to explain what happened has
led me to encourage the study of unconventional alternative causes.
Indeed, conventional explosives seem to be inadequate to account for
the breadth and depth of damage to the Twin Towers, much less to the
World Trade Center as a whole, which included four other buildings
beyond the North and South Towers and WTC-7, which appears to have
been taken down by a classic controlled demolition. The towers, by
comparison, appear to have been destroyed?largely pulverized?by
means of a novel form of top-down demolition. References below.
In addition to the modes of destruction of the WTC, attention will focus
on television video fakery in the coverage of the impact of the Boeing
767s that are presumed to have hit the Twin Towers. The existence
of examples of video fakery appears to be extensive and raises both
fascinating and difficult questions about what actually hit the towers.
Could there have been real plane crashes and video fakery, too, which
was intended to conceal features of the planes or their impacts? The
conference will explore video fakery and what happened and why.
