NEW YORK, May 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — America first learned of the 9/11 hijackings from Solicitor-General Ted Olson, who reported two calls from his wife, well-known CNN commentator Barbara Olson.
From American Airlines Flight 77, Barbara Olson fleshed out the drama of diminutive Muslim hijackers using knives and box-cutters to herd dozens of passengers to the rear of the plane.
These and other reported calls have now been examined by the 9/11 Consensus Panel of scientists, pilots, professors, attorneys, and journalists.
The 9/11 Consensus Panel is pleased to welcome two new members to participate in the evaluation of its evidence:
Dr. Daniele Ganser, a Swiss historian, heads the Swiss Institute for Peace and Energy Research (SIPER) in Basel and studies the global struggle for oil, covert warfare, resource wars and economic policy. He teaches the history and future of energy systems at the Univ. of St. Gallen (HSG), and at the Univ. of Basel he teaches conflict analysis regarding the global fight over petroleum.
Jonathan Cole, Professional Civil Engineer registered in Conn., Florida, and N.H., Graduated 1979, more than 28 years in civil engineering and construction management, including building, bridge, utility and infrastructure design.

Elizabeth Woodworth was interviewed for 30 minutes by PRN Host Stephen Lendman (on the right) about the four Consensus Points dealing with the telephone calls from the 9/11 airliners. Emerging evidence raises serious questions regarding connections to the ground, call durations, and conflicting witness reports. For example, two of the alleged cell phone calls reportedly made from 25,000 to 35,000 feet were left on voice-mail showing Caller ID. This, according to cell phone experts of the day, would have been impossible, as connections from these altitudes could only last for seconds, if indeed they were possible at all.
The 9/11 Consensus Panel is pleased to welcome Mr. James W. Douglass as an Honorary Member.
Mr. Douglass, a Christian theologian and peace activist, is the author of many books, including “JFK and the Unspeakable” and “Gandhi and the Unspeakable.” He has engaged in civil disobedience to the Vietnam War, nuclear weapons, and the Iraq War. He and his wife Shelley are co-founders of Ground Zero Center for Nonviolent Action in Poulsbo, Washington, and Mary’s House, a Catholic Worker house of hospitality in Birmingham, Alabama. His book, “JFK and the Unspeakable” was described by Oliver Stone as “the best account I have read of this tragedy and its significance.”

9/11 Consensus Panelist Tod Fletcher was interviewed at noon about the 2012 Consensus Points on a Gary Null Show special on WBAI in New York. The show lasted an hour and gives a good overview discussion of some of the evidence the Panel has reviewed that counters the official story of 9/11.
Progressive Radio News Hour host Stephen Lendman interviews co-founder (Dr. David Ray Griffin being the other co-founder) and coordinator of the 9/11 Consensus Panel, Elizabeth Woodworth.
Ms. Woodworth presents the biographies and credentials of all 22 Panel Members, and the Panel’s four Honorary Members, and also their contributions to the encyclopedic knowledge that has been unearthed about 9/11 by the professional independent research community.
This evidence has not yet been presented through the mainstream media to enable citizens to make democratic decisions about foreign policy based on full information.
The interview also discusses the new concept of State Crimes Against Democracy, as illustrated by the 9/11 example.
The French translation of consensus911.org, which has been progressing for several months, was launched today and announced in a widely distributed Press Release.
The Consensus Panel thanks the committed members of http://www.reopen911.info for all their meticulous work, and welcomes the worldwide French-speaking community to its website.
Other translations in progress include the Spanish, Japanese, and Italian.
As the first year of the Panel’s time-consuming work comes to a close, we announce the departures of Dr. Paul Zarembka, economist at the State University of New York in Buffalo; Canadian author and journalist Barrie Zwicker, an active senior participant in the Canadian 9/11 community; and former U.S. Marine Corps fighter pilot Shelton Lankford. We extend our thanks and appreciation to these gentlemen for their service to the Panel, particularly during the first round of Consensus Points, which were published in early September, 2011.
We also officially welcome Aidan Monaghan (on the right), who joined the Panel in February. Aidan holds a Bachelors degree in electronic engineering and is a Freedom of Information (FOI) researcher regarding the 9/11 attacks. Government 9/11 records obtained by Monaghan have been reported by the Beacon News Online of the Sun-Times News Group, KLAV AM in Las Vegas, NV, the documentary “Loose Change: An American Coup” and several books. His 9/11 research includes two peer reviewed studies.
