What comes before 9/11?

9/8 and 9/9.

Many of you will have heard about Scott Forbes. For others, this may be news.

Scott is the financial analyst who went public with testimony about a prolonged and planned 'power down' on the weekend before 9/11 - 9/8 and 9/9.

Before now, I had never heard his testimony - only read about it.

Some suspect that his story is incredible because there is no one to corroborate it. Nevertheless, he maintains it is true.

Listen to his audio testimony, which I find credible, though skeptics offer some valid points why it should be questioned. A transcript of an interview with him is available here.

On looking up the other source cited in this clip, I found the alleged quote right where they got it - from People magazine, filed in their online archives, dated September 12, 2001.

Ben Fountain, 42, a financial analyst with Fireman's Fund, was coming out of the Chambers Street Station, headed for his office on the 47th floor of the south tower.

How could they let this happen? They knew this building was a target. Over the past few weeks we'd been evacuated a number of times, which is unusual. I think they had an inkling something was going on.

Evacuations and power downs are not the same - but both witnesses concur that unusual things related to security happened at the towers, in the weeks before 9/11. And of course, everyone has heard about the Marvin Bush coincidence.

Why am I rehashing old news? Thousands of web pages discuss these issues. Isn't talking about them over and over again redundant?

No - because every day new people are starting their journey, in search of the truth, and they need fresh material that keeps the evidence alive.

Second, I repeat the truth and unanswered questions to compete with repeated lies.

Somehow, some way, the truth must emerge - but, it's going to take the determination of millions of people to DEMAND IT and to NOT STOP until we get it.

If there's only one-in-a-million chance that we will ever learn the truth about 9/11, count me in as one of the millions who try.
