The 9/11 Investigation called for by MER Last Year
Now Called for by an organization of Academics and by Actor Charlie Sheen
MER -
MiddleEast.Org - Washington - 22 March: He's Martin Sheen's son -- that's the famous actor who plays President Jeb Bartlett on TV's The West Wing -- and quite an accomplished actor (and long-time Hollywood playboy) in his own right. Remember Platoon for instance? And now he's joined the '9/11 Movement'. Can his father be far behind?
MER called for an unprecedented international media investigation of
everything relating to 9/11 last summer. It took us too long to do so
-- much too long we plead guilty. Here's the link to the MER Editorial "The Mother of All Hoaxes?"
Earlier this year a new organization of academics picked up on that
call after a meeting in Washington between of Professor James Fetzer,
the organizer of Academics for 9/11 Truth, and MER Publisher Mark
Bruzonsky. Now well-known actor Charlie Sheen is lending his voice to
the call.

Actor Charlie Sheen Questions Official 9/11 Story
Calls for truly independent investigation, joins
growing ranks of prominent credible whistleblowers

Actor Charlie Sheen has joined a growing army of other
highly credible public figures in questioning the official story of 9/11
and calling for a new independent investigation of the attack and the circumstances
surrounding it.
Over the past two years, scores of highly regarded
individuals have gone public to express their serious doubts about 9/11.
These include former presidential advisor and CIA analyst Ray
McGovern, the father of Reaganomics and former Assistant Secretary
of the US Treasury Paul
Craig Roberts, BYU physics Professor Steven
Jones, former German defense minister Andreas
von Buelow, former MI5 officer David
Shayler, former Blair cabinet member Michael
Meacher, former Chief Economist for the Department of Labor
during President George W. Bush's first term Morgan
Reynolds and many more.
Speaking to The Alex Jones Show on the GCN Radio Network,
the star of current hit comedy show Two and a Half Men and dozens of movies
including Platoon and Young Guns, Sheen elaborated on why he had problems
believing the government's version of events.
Sheen agreed that the biggest conspiracy theory was
put out by the government itself and prefaced his argument by quoting Theodore
Roosevelt in stating, "That we are to stand by the President right
or wrong is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."
"We're not the conspiracy theorists on this particular
issue," said Sheen.
"It seems to me like 19 amateurs with box cutters
taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75% of their targets,
that feels like a conspiracy theory. It raises a lot of questions."
Sheen described the climate of acceptance for serious
discussion about 9/11 as being far more fertile than it was a couple of
years ago.
"It feels like from the people I talk to in and
around my circles, it seems like the worm is turning."
Suspicious collapse of buildings
Sheen described his immediate skepticism regarding
the official reason for the collapse of the twin towers and building 7 on
the day of 9/11.
"I was up early and we were gonna do a pre-shoot
on Spin City, the show I used to do, I was watching the news and the north
tower was burning. I saw the south tower hit live, that famous wide shot
where it disappears behind the building and then we see the tremendous fireball."
"There was a feeling, it just didn't look any
commercial jetliner I've flown on any time in my life and then when the
buildings came down later on that day I said to my brother 'call me insane,
but did it sorta look like those buildings came down in a controlled demolition'?"
Sheen said that most people's gut instinct, that the
buildings had been deliberately imploded, was washed away by the incessant
flood of the official version of events from day one.
Sheen questioned the plausibility of a fireballs traveling
1100 feet down an elevator shaft and causing damage to the lobbies of the
towers as seen in video footage, especially when contrasted with eyewitness
accounts of bombs and explosions in the basement levels of
the buildings.
Regarding building 7, which wasn't hit by a plane,
Sheen highlighted the use of the term "pull," a demolition industry
term for pulling the outer walls of the building towards the center in an
implosion, as was used by Larry
Silverstein in a September 2002 PBS documentary when he said
that the decision to "pull" building 7 was made before its collapse.
This technique ensures the building collapses in its own footprint and can
clearly be seen during the collapse of building 7 with the classic 'crimp'
being visible.
The highly suspicious collapse of building 7 and the
twin towers has previously been put under the spotlight by physics
Professor Steven Jones and Kevin
Ryan of Underwriters Laboratories, the company that certified
the steel components used in the construction of the World Trade Center
towers.
"The term 'pull' is as common to the demolition
world as 'action and 'cut' are to the movie world," said Sheen.
Sheen referenced firefighters in the buildings who
were eyewitnesses
to demolition style implosions and bombs.
"This is not you or I watching the videos and
speculating on what we saw, these are gentlemen inside the buildings at
the very point of collapse."
"If there's a problem with building 7 then there's
a problem with the whole thing," said Sheen.
Bush's behavior on 9/11
Sheen then questioned President Bush's actions on 9/11
and his location at the Booker Elementary School in Florida. Once Andy Card
had whispered to Bush that America was under attack why didn't the secret
service immediately whisk Bush away to a secret location?
By remaining at a location where it was publicly known
the President would be before 9/11, he was not only putting his own life
in danger, but the lives of hundreds of schoolchildren. That is unless the
government knew for sure what the targets were beforehand and that President
Bush wasn't one of them.
"It seems to me that upon the revelation of that
news that the secret service would grab the President as if he was on fire
and remove him from that room," said Sheen.
The question of how Bush saw the first plane hit the
north tower, when no live footage of that incident was carried, an assertion
that Bush repeated twice, was also put under the spotlight.
"I guess one of the perks of being President is
that you get access to TV channels that don't exist in the known universe,"
said Sheen.
"It might lead you to believe that he'd seen similar
images in some type of rehearsal as it were, I don't know."
The Pentagon incident
Sheen outlined his disbelief that the official story
of what happened at the Pentagon matched the physical evidence.
"Show us this incredible maneuvering, just show
it to us. Just show us how this particular plane pulled off these maneuvers.
270 degree turn at 500 miles and hour descending 7,000 feet in two and a
half minutes, skimming across treetops the last 500 meters."
We have not been able to confirm that a large commercial
airliner hit the Pentagon because the government has seized and refused
to release any footage that would show the impact.
"I understand in the interest of national security
that maybe not release the Pentagon cameras but what about the Sheraton,
what about the gas station, what about the Department of Transportation
freeway cam? What about all these shots that had this thing perfectly documented?
Instead they put out five frames that they claim not to have authorized,
it's really suspicious," said Sheen.
Sheen also questioned how the plane basically disappeared
into the Pentagon with next to no wreckage and no indication of what happened
to the wing sections.
Concerning how the Bush administration had finalized
Afghanistan war plans two days before 9/11 with the massing of 44,000 US
troops and 18,000 British troops in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, and in addition
the call for "some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl
Harbor," as outlined in the PNAC
documents, Sheen stated, "you don't really put those strategies
together overnight do you for a major invasion? Those are really well calculated
and really well planned."
"Coincidence? We think not," said Sheen and
he called the PNAC quotes "emblematic of the arrogance of this administration."
A real investigation
Sheen joined others in calling for a revised and truly
independent investigation of 9/11.
Sheen said that "September 11 wasn't the Zapruder
film, it was the Zapruder film festival," and that the inquiry had
to be, "headed, if this is possible, by some neutral investigative
committee. What if we used retired political foreign nationals? What if
we used experts that don't have any ties whatsoever to this administration?"
"It is up to us to reveal the truth. It is up
to us because we owe it to the families, we owe it to the victims. We owe
it to everybody's life who was drastically altered, horrifically that day
and forever. We owe it to them to uncover what happened."
Charlie Sheen joins the rest of his great family and
notably his father Martin Sheen, who has lambasted for opposing the Iraq
war before it had begun yet has now been proven right in triplicate, in
using his prominent public platform to stand for truth and justice and we
applaud and salute his brave efforts, remembering Mark Twain's quote.
"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is
a scarce man, brave, hated, and scorned. When his cause succeeds however,
the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."
