Look Here For a Commentary on the Latest News from AE911Truth

February Newsletter

I was really excited in January when Richard Gage, our very own architect of destruction, announced that he was going to write a monthly newsletter to his fans. While January was disappointing February was quite frankly pathetic.

I had really hoped that Richard could have given us an insight into what is going on at ae911truth.
- he could have explained why the China trip was canceled
- or what he hopes to achieve by his future trip to Scotland and Ireland, except to improve his handicap
- or why he stopped supporting the theory that no plane hit the pentagon
- or he could even have explained why the recent explosive free top down demolition in France was a stunt pulled by friends of NIST.

This months missive from Mr Gage is only 10 sentences long and is simply a request to everyone to buy DVD's and the " beautiful, cost-effective 9/11 broadsheet newspaper".

For our highest paid leader I had really hoped for something more. Richard you are going to lose fans if you don't start spreading some truth.
 
After a month of fund raising we have raised $458 to hire a "high caliber LA PR firm to create a massive MSM & alt media exposure for AE911truth"

You know the truth doesn't get much better than this.

I wonder what the PR firm will do with it?
 
March Newsletter

Oh Well, that didn't last long. It looks like the great new initiative announced by Richard to give us a monthly update of focused action has fizzled out.

We started with a plea to buy postcards in Jan; to join an action group in Feb and I guess Richard had March off, due to over-work.

The idea of a monthly report did sound quite grand at the time, and that's what was important.

We have managed to produce a new cool new banner at the top of the ae911truth web page. I particularly like the banner that shows " Ground Breaking Interviews at Fox, BBC, PBS, CBC... " You see it is important that we try and imply that we get international coverage. The banner is the interview that was done on the local Fresno Fox station, KMPH in May '09... our last big break. You see how we very cleverly hid any mention of the date so it looks like "news". We are good.

They could only raise that in one whole month?! My daughter's school raised over five times that figure for new equipment, in a single afternoon!
Forgive me if I'm wrong but $458 doesn't seem all that much for a "high caliber" PR firm.

Telltale Tom, like Dr Pangloss, is quite the optimist.

Tom Tells Tales indeed.

You quoted Tom incompletely, and thus quote mined. Here is the part you quoted with the relevant context (hilighted):

...
Unfortunately we don’t have any new Professional Engineers in New York. So its only three members from the Sate where it happened, and two of them have let their licenses expire....

You list architects only. Maybe you can do better and list any new Professional Engineers in New York
 
After a month of fund raising we have raised $458 to hire a "high caliber LA PR firm to create a massive MSM & alt media exposure for AE911truth"

You know the truth doesn't get much better than this.

I wonder what the PR firm will do with it?

$458....should get what, 1 hour's effort? Massive indeed.
 
...

Btw.: I currently count 5 (five) PEs from the state of NY wo are civil or structural engineers:

Abbas Behnambakhsh (NY P. E. no. 077094; B.S. C.E.)
Donal Butterfield (RA11145 NY, PE39888 NY; BCE, MUD)
Ephraim Resnick (NY PE 042761; Worked for 50 years in construction design in and around NYC; Retired in August, 2001)
Richard Paul Sheridan (51289 1974 Dec.; Civil Engineering)
Robert J. Randall (52752 NY; Structural design of nuclear submarines, power plants, commercial & residential buildings.)
 
Thanks Oystein for coming to my defense. The last time I looked at the State Register I found that most of them had let their license expire. I think that the numbering system for PE's in NY State gives us a clue about how many structural engineers there are in NY state.

However I do agree that just because our support from the profession best placed to understand what happened on 9/11 is less than 1 in a thousand, doesn't mean to say that ae911truth is wrong.

However I do not believe the argument, that we have so little support because the engineers in NY State haven't heard of Building 7
 
Btw.: I currently count 5 (five) PEs from the state of NY wo are civil or structural engineers:

Cicero yes I know I tell tales and I apologize if I claimed that ae911truth had the support of three structural or civil PE's from New York state... sorry that is perhaps an exaggeration;

OYstein your count is wrong too. There are 24,874 civil and structural engineers in NY state. And drum roll please .... Here is the status of the brave hearts that have signed the ae911 petition.

Abbas Behnambakhsh NOT REGISTERED (NY P. E. no. 077094; B.S. C.E.)
Donal Butterfield REGISTERED (RA11145 NY, PE39888 NY; BCE, MUD)
Ephraim Resnick INACTIVE (NY PE 042761; Worked for 50 years in construction design in and around NYC; Retired in August, 2001)
Richard Paul Sheridan NOT REGISTERED (51289 1974 Dec.; Civil Engineering)
Robert J. Randall REGISTERED (52752 NY; Structural design of nuclear submarines, power plants, commercial & residential buildings.)

Its easy to check, just go to the NY state web site.

I suspect there may be more than 2 PE's but I don't think Richard has quite sold CD to a significant proportion yet.

If I understand the ny.gov Consumer Information, PE's from NY state can also be mechanical or electrical engineers. When I went through the AE911T Petition, I left out those New Yorkers that indicated they are engineers other than civil or structural. I assume the number of the latter is lower than 24,874, but guess that it is larger than 10,000.

Tom, are you sure that the 24,874 gathered from the License Statistics page includes only REGISTERED PEs that are not INACTIVE?

And drum roll please .... Here is the status of the brave hearts that have signed the ae911 petition.

Thanks. Not being acustomed with US practices in that area, I didn't know where to start looking, so I didn't bother. But I think you are thinking of this website?

We should add some info:
  • Butterfield Donal: Got his license in 1963 - 48 years ago, the guy must be well over 70. Which does not mean he is a dumbo, just a trivia fact. License number is 039888
  • Ephraim Resnick got his in 1966 - 45 years ago. He, too, is probably already 70+.
  • Richard Paul Sheridan apparently is not a resident of NY anymore, but of Dallas, TX
  • Robert J. Randall apparently is not a resident of NY anymore, but of Centreville, Md

So of my list of 5, we have to subtract Behnambakhsh (not registered), Resnick (inactive; retired?), Sheridan and Randall (not from NY state), and find that there is only ONE licensed PE from the state of New York on gage's list:

Name : BUTTERFIELD DONAL
Address : NEW YORK NY
Profession : PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING
License No: 039888
Date of Licensure : 05/29/63
Additional Qualification :
Status : REGISTERED
Registered through last day of : 12/11

Quite impressive! 1 licensed civil engineer from NY signed up, more than 10,000 did not! :D And this 1 soul may not even actually be practicing any longer due to his old age!
 
C'mon there has to be more than one civil, structural PE that supports ae911truth in the whole of New York State!

Come on CICORP, help out here, you said there was way more than three!

And yes Oystein, there are 24,974 PE engineers in NY state of which 13,874 PE's are NY State residents... and yes it does include other disciplines. So I am fairly sure that you can conclude from this, that support for ae911truth in the PE community lies somewhere between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 10,000.

But hey, just think we have so much potential for expansion.
 
Ok after a couple of months without writing anything Richard Gage has bounced back with a nice story about his midwest speaking tour.

It was unsurprisingly a great success. Richard was delighted with the average attendance of 172 at each of the 10 events. Assuming a !0$ entry fee, sorry, donation, that is a tidy $17,200 for two weeks work. Pretty dang good really.

Unfortunately its the old faithful who attend. According to Richard 75% of attendees already believe in the controlled demolition and by the time Richard has told them the truth, that number increases to 97%. He really should come to an engineering or architecture conference in NY, I am sure he could get that second structural PE from NY State to sign the petition.

Richard is clear about why he believes that they are getting so little traction at US Colleges and that is because of the influence of "corporate sponsored research or defense related contracts".

Richard is working hard to improve his golf handicap before his tour of Scotland and Ireland in June. Any suggestions are welcome.
 
Today, I looked at all engineers in AE911"truth" with an engineering license from the state of New Jersey.

Here is the New Jersey roster of Professional Engineers:
http://www.njconsumeraffairs.gov/pels/pelroste.pdf
It lists "Active" and "Reitired-Payed" engineers, with license number. The vast majority in this list is "Active".
This list contains 19758 P.E.s

Now let's look at the signers:
http://www2.ae911truth.org/signpetition.php
Under "Engineers (Degreed & Licensed – Active & Retired)", we find these 6 guys who claim licenses from NJ:

Name|Eng. branch|License #|Status
Donald Meserlian |Mechanical|24GE01507900| Active Fred Nguyen |Mechanical|24GE03923300| Active Michael T. Donly | Structural/Civil |24GE04422400| Active Mohammad Imran |Mechanical|24GE03019600| Active Richard F. Humenn |Electrical|(unknown)| Retired Robert J. Randall |Naval/Marine|32741/this is not a NJ license #| not found/inactive

So, out of 19758 active or retired-payed professional engineers in New Jersey, 4 signed the petition: that is 0.02%.

Only 1 (one) of them has expertise with any kind of building structures.

Today, I revisited all engineers in AE911"truth" with an engineering license from the state of New York.

The last time we did that, we found that AE911"truth" listed 5 civil or structural engineers with PE licenses from the state of New York:

Abbas Behnambakhsh NOT REGISTERED (NY P. E. no. 077094; B.S. C.E.)
Donal Butterfield REGISTERED (RA11145 NY, PE39888 NY; BCE, MUD)
Ephraim Resnick INACTIVE (NY PE 042761; Worked for 50 years in construction design in and around NYC; Retired in August, 2001)
Richard Paul Sheridan NOT REGISTERED (51289 1974 Dec.; Civil Engineering)
Robert J. Randall REGISTERED (52752 NY; Structural design of nuclear submarines, power plants, commercial & residential buildings.)

Of these, only one, Donal Butterfield, was still registered and a resident of NY.

Today, I looked at all engineers from New York state at
http://www2.ae911truth.org/signpetition.php
With the help of
http://www.op.nysed.gov/opsearches.htm
I compliled this current list:

Name|Eng. branch|License #|Status|State|Remarks
Abbas Behnambakhsh | Civil |077094| NOT REGISTERED |NY|
Daniel E. Walsh |Chemical|064335| REGISTERED |NY|
Donal Butterfield | Civil |039888| REGISTERED |NY|Graduated with BCE in 1955, so he is close to 80 years old
Ephraim Resnick |Electrical|042761| INACTIVE |NY|"After Pearl Harbor, volunteered into US Army", "Retired in August, 2001" - must be over 80. NYC eyewitness.
Jill Hacker | Civil |066694| INACTIVE |VA|
Joseph P. Phelan |Mechanical|073673| INACTIVE |NY|
Mark Goretsky |Mechanical|069362| NOT REGISTERED |NY|
Michael A. McDonald |Naval/marine|075284| REGISTERED |NY|Eyewitness
John V. Mizzi |Electrical|052688| REGISTERED |NY|
Mark Dodds | Civil |082663| NOT REGISTERED |WA|
Richard F. Humenn |Electrical|038439| NOT REGISTERED |NJ|retired in mid 1997; Worked on old WTC
Richard Paul Sheridan | Civil |051289| NOT REGISTERED |NY|Born 1946, 64 years old
Robert J. Randall |Naval/marine|052752| REGISTERED |MD|State of residence is MD, not NY, as AE911t claims

Uncertain:
Name|Eng. branch|License #|Status|State|Remarks
C. Charles |Mechanical|?|?|NY|Can't be verified - no first name and license no. Could be 077834 (registered, of RI)
Patrick Mcmahon |?|060575| INACTIVE |TX|Eyewitness (Had to look up license number; maybe I got the wrong one. Residence is TX, not NY as AE911t states)
Richard Rogers |Mechanical|None?|?|NY|PENDING REVIEW, could be 068575 (REGISTSRED, from AK)


So let's do the count:
According to the NY License Statistics there are
- 24,974 PEs with a license from NY state
-- 13,847 of which reside in NY state

A reasonable estimate of the licensed cilvil engineers would then be
- 10,000 licenses
-- 6,000 of these civil engineers are NY residents

The AE911t-"petition" has been signed by
- 13 to 16 people with a license number from NY
-- 5 to 7 of these are registered, the others are not, or inactive. That's about 0.02-0.03% of all PEs in New York

- 4 civil engineers
-- 1 of them only is registered, or 0.01% of all registered civil engineers in NY. That guy is close to 80 years old.
