Barrie Zwicker Endorses Citizen Investigation Team, Censored at 911blogger

Open Letter from:
Craig Ranke
Citizen Investigation Team
August 1, 2010

Re: Censorship of a major 9/11 Truth figure at 911blogger.com

To everyone concerned with the truth:

Renowned journalist, author, and media critic Barrie Zwicker has joined the growing list of intellectuals, experts, scholars, activists, journalists, pilots, and concerned citizens who have spoken out in favor of Citizen Investigation Team (CIT) and our presentation National Security Alert, some of whom are quoted here.

Barrie has also taken it upon himself to speak out very strongly against those attempting to cast doubt on us and/or our findings.

A video and accompanying text of his endorsement is available on this web page.



It now has been 10 days since Barrie's confirmed effort to submit this to 911blogger.com, and his post has not been approved for publication (more on this later). He has told us he still maintains hope that "this de facto censorship, at the premiere 9/11 Truth site, against support for a major team of 9/11 researchers and their original and highly-significant research will eventually be lifted, for the sake of those who visit the site in search of facts and opinions falling squarely within the mandate of 911blogger.com".

He added that if 911blogger does not revert to serving the cause of 9/11 Truth, which he believes it started out doing, it will have to join an all-too-long list of disinformation sources to be included in the book he is writing on false flag operators, false flag organizations and false flag operations. He said this troubles him deeply.

For those who aren't aware, CIT has been under assault from the owners of 911blogger for more than two years. For the record:

Citizen Investigation Team European Tour - September 2010

We are happy to announce that CIT will be spending the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks screening "National Security Alert" throughout France and other locations in Europe.

Official announcement:

Citizen Investigation Team European Tour - September 2010


This year for the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Craig Ranke, co-founder of Citizen Investigation Team (CIT), will be screening their presentation National Security Alert throughout France and other locations in Europe.

The purpose of the tour is to raise awareness regarding the critical eyewitness evidence CIT has gathered and presented during the course of their on-going investigation into the Pentagon attack. As seen in National Security Alert, the plane has been conclusively shown via detailed video and audio-recorded interviews with eyewitnesses to the event to have been on a flight path that is irreconcilable with official reports, official data, and the physical damage, making it physically impossible for it to have struck the downed light poles or to have caused the anomalous directional damage to the building itself.

The main event on Saturday, September 11th will be held in downtown Paris, with screenings scheduled throughout the day. In the evening a "prime time" screening will take place, which will include an introduction by and question and answer session with Craig Ranke.

The following dates have been confirmed. Times, venues, and additional dates to be announced.

September 6th - Faläen, Belgium (National Security Alert screening)
September 7th - Paris, France (Interview on Radio Ici Maintenant)
September 9th - Grenoble, France (National Security Alert screening)
September 11th - Paris, France (all day event with multiple screenings of National Security Alert)
September 13th - Freiburg, Germany (National Security Alert Screening)
September 14th - Lausanne, Switzerland (National Security Alert screening)
September 17th - London, England (National Security Alert screening)

Steve Storti Caught Lying About His Dialog With CIT

Steve Storti is a previously published witness who was in Crystal City over 3/4 of a mile away from the alleged impact point of the Pentagon. You can see his location labeled in the bottom right corner of the below image.

(click to enlarge)



The yellow lines equal the true eyewitness flight path we have documented and the light blue line is the proven false official flight path.

Despite Steve Storti's relatively far location from either flight path, he describes the plane in detail and even claims that he saw people through the windows moving in the back of the plane. He also claims that he took a picture of the "fireball" within the first second or two after the explosion and that he has not shown this image to anyone.

We got a hold of Steven and interviewed him in Oct 2009. He said he would provide us with pictures to verify his point of view from his 4th floor balcony but failed to do so.

We made the decision to wait until we could get our own images from that balcony (Storti no longer lives there) before releasing his interview so we could be sure to validate that he could actually see what he was claiming he saw. A few months later he showed up at our forum (not knowing it was us) and provided his contact information in case we had questions for him.

I instantly called him and that phone call can be downloaded here:

23 minute discussion with Steven Storti - March 29th, 2010

In this call he praises our efforts, calls us "legit", rails against the 9/11 commission, and agrees to help us in our campaign for justice by making a strong effort to provide us with his alleged photographs of his POV and the "fireball" while agreeing to an on camera interview.

He failed to live up to any of these things and simply never replied again.

But he was contacted by Jeff Hill on June 19th, 2010. At this point he did a completely unjustified and unprovoked reversal and chose to maliciously attack us with blatant lies regarding our dialog. Jeff Hill recorded the conversation and published these lies.

Please listen to the above phone call from March 29 and then read the following open letter for full details about this very strange and contradictory interaction with an alleged witness who has been cited for years as someone who allegedly "saw the plane hit the Pentagon".

French bloggers Kropotkine & Ikky interview Craig Ranke

I participated in a comprehensive interview with French bloggers/911 Truth activists Kropotkine & Ikky of the "Enquêtes et Faits Divers" blog which means "Inquiries and News Items".

Read the full interview in English here.

These guys have done an amazing job bringing the evidence we have uncovered to the people of France by creating a version of National Security Alert with French subtitles that they uploaded to Dailymotion.com here. It has received over 35,000 views and over 500 comments.

French author Thierry Meyssan's book "L'Effroyable imposture" which means "The Horrifying Fraud" (its English edition is entitled 9/11: The Big Lie) was released in 2002 and as far as I know was the first publication released questioning the 9/11 event during all the initial hysteria when to do so was considered unthinkable for most.

There has been a rather lively debate on this topic in France ever since.

Meyssan's book received worldwide attention and he was the first known proponent of the missile theory at the Pentagon. Kropotkine & Ikky recently published an exclusive interview with Meyssan on their blog where they asked him about the research of CIT. The original interview in French is available on their blog here and Kropotkine has translated the outtakes where Meyssan discusses CIT and posted them on our forum in this post.

There has been a renewed interest in France regarding the Pentagon attack due to the efforts of Kropotkine & Ikky to make sure people there are aware of what we have accomplished. With so many people discussing our research Kropotkine had some very excellent questions to ask us that deserved extremely detailed and thorough answers.

The same questions are also brought up during debate in the U.S. so reading this entire interview is highly recommended.

The below link is to the English version. They will be releasing a French version as soon as they finish the translation.

Thanks Kropotkine & Ikky!

Erik Larson's Methods vs Ed and Shinki Paik's Accounts - A Rebuttal by CIT

For an audio break-down of the general details in the following rebuttal please listen here:

(also covers witness Dawn Vignola. Skip to 21:17 for part about Paik brothers)

Direct Download .mp3 at 13.4 MB



Recently I posted a debate challenge (Craig Ranke challenges Erik Larson to debate ) to Erik Larson (aka loose nuke & Rancho Truth) because of his hit-piece against us regarding Dawn Vignola's account.

The very next day he released a new article regarding witness Edward Paik who is featured in The PentaCon Smoking Gun Version and National Security Alert.

ed paik, erik larson


Ed's account is absolutely critical because he saw the plane as it definitively diverged from the official flight path while it passed from the south to the north side of Columbia Pike as he illustrated here (he marked his location with a circle):

erik larson, ed paik, pentagon

The official story REQUIRES the plane to be on the south side of Columbia Pike at all times like this:

erik larson, dawn vignola, 911

Erik Larson actually provides a brand new video recorded interview with Ed and his brother Shinki Paik (Jan 2010) that really just confirms that we reported accurately and confirms that Edward saw the plane fly over Shinki's auto shop (A-One Auto) on the NORTH side of Columbia Pike.

But that didn't stop Larson from attacking us personally and accusing us of being deceptive anyway. A rebuttal to his hilarious "attack" piece that really only helps prove the plane did not hit the light poles or the Pentagon is available here:

Erik Larson confirms north side approach!! Ed Paik's path independently confirmed

Thanks Larson! We've always encouraged people who doubt us to interview the witnesses themselves and now you know why! Hopefully you'll go on to independently confirm the other north side approach witnesses as well!

Pilots For 9/11 Truth Release New Tech Paper Proving Transition From North To South Path Impossible

Most people who view our presentation National Security Alert find it easy to accept the corroborated witnesses who clearly state that the plane crossed from the south to the north side of Columbia Pike, flew directly over the Navy Annex, and/or banked right as it passed north of the former Citgo gas station. It's even easy to accept that this contradicts the official reports and data when shown. What's difficult for some to accept are the undeniable implications that this means the plane could not have caused the physical damage and therefore must have continued on without hitting the light poles, the generator trailer, or the building at all. Even though this is rather obvious when looking at the images, particularly when considering the light poles, cognitive dissonance tends to come into play causing some to simply refuse to believe that the plane had to have flown over the building proving a deception from within.

While we have outlined in detail why the north side approach proves a flyover in the #2 article on our FAQ list, we went to the experts at Pilots for 9/11 Truth to closely analyze this situation and provide a technical document explaining exactly why this is the case. They have now published this comprehensive report complete with calculations, animations, and simplified explanations so everyone can easily understand this. As it stands the document demonstrates how it has been 100% scientifically proven that it is physically impossible for any fixed-wing aircraft to transition from the north side approach as reported by the witnesses to the official south side approach to cause the physical damage to the building. In other words, if you believe the witnesses in National Security Alert, you absolutely have no choice but to believe that the plane did not hit the Pentagon and therefore continued on. A north side approach proves a flyover. There is no other logical explanation.
