Everyone agrees that the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 in New York and Washington, D.C. were national tragedies, but even 6 1/2 years later, people still don't agree on what actually happened that day.
"9/11 Truthstock 2008" kicks off a series of events today to get San Diego State to rethink the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
"It's all about information," said David Taylor of www.truther.org, an on-campus group convinced that the truth behind the tragedies has yet to be publicly revealed. "We're speaking about information that the mainstream media is ignoring and that a lot of very smart and intellectual people are thinking about, and we're trying to say that there needs to be another investigation into what occurred on 9/11."
Local punk rock band Prosthetic Arms will perform at the kick-off concert at noon at the Aztec Center patio, followed by a two hours of handing out flyers on campus. The main event will take place tomorrow in Montezuma Hall. It will be a day filled with speakers and films intended to offer a fresh perspective about 9/11.
"For example, the Japanese government is doing their own investigation into 9/11 now, and (former Minnesota Gov.) Jesse Ventura came out last week saying the buildings were demolished," Taylor said. "We're asking questions and we're not getting answers from the administration or anybody in the government."
"TerrorStorm," a film about governments conspiring to commit terrorist acts against their own people, screens at 9 a.m. and will be followed by showings of "Loose Change: Final Cut," "Improbable Collapse" and "Zeitgeist."
Stephen Jones, Ph. D, of Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice and Richard Gage, who heads Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, will each speak for about an hour. They will participate in a question and answer session with "Loose Change" filmmaker Dylan Avery and actor Daniel Sunjata to wrap up the day. The event concludes on Monday with a showing of "Loose Change: Final Cut" and a Q & A with Avery beginning at 6 p.m. in Hardy Tower Room 140.
VIP seating for Thursday's event is guaranteed with a $25 donation. Monday's screening is free.
