THE MADISON CONFERENCE
3-5 August 2007
Scholars for 9/11 Truth will be sponsoring its first conference on "The Science 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 expore some of the issues that have generated controversy in
the research community, and (c) to create an occasion for serious students of 9/11 to interact personally with leading investigators.
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 were most unlikely to be able to explain what happened has led me to encourage the study of unconventional alternative causes.
REFERENCES:
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 we know was taken down by a classic controlled demolition. The towers, by comparison, appear to be have been destroyed--largely pulverized--by means of a sophisticated top-down demolition. Discussions may be found here:

In addition to the modes of destruction of the WTC, attention will focus on video fakery in the coverage of the impact of
the presumptive Boeing 767s at the Twin Towers. The existence of video fakery appears to be extensive and raises fascinating
and difficult questions about what actually hit the Twin 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 what happened and why.
SPEAKERS:
This cutting-edge conference boasts ten stellar speakers:
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, a society that brings together Christians, Muslims, and
Jews in pursuit of the truth about 9/11. He will give 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 THE 9/11 CONSPIRACY with contributions from 11 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.
FRANK GREENING, Ph.D., physical chemistry, has worked extensively in the field of molecular spectroscopy, an area directly related to the study of dust samples from the World Trade Center. Since his retirement in 2003, he has written several articles on the chemistry and the physics of the destruction of WTC-1 and of WTC-2.
ED HAAS, the editor of THE MUCKRAKER REPORT, has taken a leading role as an investigative journalist dealing with 9/11. Among his most notable "scoops" has been the discovery that the FBI--our own FBI!--has "no hard evidence" connecting Osama bin Laden to the events of 9/11. He also envisioned "The National 9/11 Debate",but representatives of the government refused to join.
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.
RICK RAJTER, currently completing a Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering at MIT, has collaborated with Morgan Reyonds in studies suggesting there were no big plane crashes on 9/11, including co-authoring a chapter in THE 9/11 CONSPIRACY. In addition to research on the four alleged planes, he has also been focusing upon the possibility that high-tech weaponry was used at the WTC.
MORGAN REYNOLDS, Ph.D., Economics Professor Emeritus at Texas A&M University and former Chief Economist in the Department of Labor in the Bush Administration, he has also served as Director of the Criminal Justice Center at the National Center for Policy Analysis, Dallas, TX. The author of six books, he has taken a leading role in studies that support the conclusion that no big planes
crashed on 9/11. He has a web site at nomoregames.net.
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-hosts "The Power Hour" with Joyce Riley, which can be accessed at thepowerhour.com. He is an outstanding 9/11 activist and researcher who has been instrumental in focusing attention on the planes.
JUDY WOOD may be the most qualified scientist studying 9/11 in the world today. She holds a B.S. in civil engineering, an M.S. in engineering mechanics, and a Ph.D. in materials engineering science. She has done pioneering research on the destruction of the WTC and maintains a web site at drjudywood.com, which is the most important research web site in the 9/11 community.
