FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

International Citizens� Inquiry seeks the truth about 9/11





An extensive international public inquiry into the events of Sept. 11, 2001, will be held in Toronto, Canada between May 30 and June 20 this year.

�This is a vital exercise for humankind,� says Barrie Zwicker, executive director of Skeptics Inquiry for Truth (SIFT), which is organizing the activity, �because the official version of those events is constantly raised to justify the so-called �war on terrorism,� which has expanded into hot wars, reduction of civil liberties and the criminalizing of dissent.�

�This will be the largest independent citizens� inquiry in the world yet to date to test the plausibility of official explanations of 9/11. Our budget is over $500,000, so this is an enormous undertaking that requires all the public support we can muster. My view is that all of us have to ask ourselves what we�ll do with our money if we end up in a police state.�

The opening event at the University of Toronto�s Convocation Hall on May 30 will feature speaker Mike Ruppert, American author/journalist and Thierry Meyssan, bestselling French author. They will be joined by a representative of the families who lost members on September 11th.

That will be followed 8 days later by screenings of related films, from June 7-10, at the Bathurst Street Theatre, where all subsequent events will also be held.

�The inquiry proper, from June 11-13, will call on experienced 9/ll researchers from Canada, the U.S. and Europe,� says Zwicker, �in plenary sessions examining the many anomalies of the official version of 9/11. In fact, one presenter will focus on listing just the 60 leading anomalies of that day.�

Michael C. Ruppert, (journalist/author) From The Wilderness
