Controversial 9/11 film draws curious crowd Director Mike Berger and writer Rebecca Cerese, a resident of Chapel Hill, spoke Tuesday night in Richard White Lecture Hall and presented their film, "Improbable Collapse," which presents a controversial take on the events of Sept. 11. The documentary retraced the events of the attacks on the World Trade Center, analyzed evidence, interviewed experts and reviewed government records to present an argument pinning the collapse of the World Trade Center on the U.S. government. Opening with footage of the Twin Towers' collapse, the film claimed that Americans' rights and freedoms have been curtailed by the government's policies stemming from the Sept. 11 attacks. "The true duty of a patriot is to protect his country from its government," the movie stated, supporting the producers' message, which they discussed following the screening. The audience, composed of both Duke students and local residents, engaged in an academic conversation with Berger and Cerese regarding the possibility of a Sept. 11 government conspiracy from both scientific and sociopolitical perspectives. Berger contended that Sept. 11 was a conspiracy between the government and powerful corporations to further amass power. He said 7 World Trade Center, a third and smaller tower which collapsed, housed the second-largest CIA office as well as U.S. Securities Exchange and Commission files pertaining to Enron and WorldCom. "Is our government really a republic? When this nation was founded we did not have an entrenched politician class," Berger said. "So we must stand up and fight before our freedom disintegrates any more." Senior Strouse Campbell, who has conducted research on Sept. 11 conspiracy theories, organized the presentation, prompted by his frustration with the public's ignorance of the facts behind the incident, he said. "It's amazing how few people know about the third World Trade Center building that collapsed, WTC-7," Campbell said. He added that the most difficult aspect of hosting the screening was collaborating with the administration. "It was hard to find faculty sponsorship, as no one wanted their name attached to this controversial event," he said. Though there was no protest at the film screening, some students said they opposed the premise of the documentary. "I think that these students disgraced our university.... I think they've insulted everyone who perished on that tragic day and the soldiers who died in the line of duty," said senior Stephen Miller, executive director of the Duke Conservative Union and a Chronicle columnist. "The only way you could support such a claim is if you have a deep-seated hatred of America. They also have a right to deny the Holocaust and to say the Earth is flat," added Miller, who did not attend the screening. "In a free society, it's incumbent to hold people responsible for what they say." Other students said they attended the event out of curiosity. "I saw some flyers and wanted to explore different hypotheses," senior Leonard Medlock said. "Personally, I don't believe in all this, but I feel they had a strong point and [the movie] helps people keep an open mind."

What mindless crappola.
Osama Bin Laden did it- and his Al Qaeda network. Any day now he will be caught and brought back to the US for his trial. We know this because we keep hearing from politicains and our media about the pressing need to get OBL and hold him responsible for the attacks. Every day our media is asking where is OBL? Where is the killer fiend of 9/11 that needs to be held accountable so the victims of 9/11 can have peace? I am almost getting sick of hearing about it. Every day the news leads off with stories about the hunt for OBL. Every day the administration gives us an update on the hunt for him. And the Dems! Man, they are merciless in their constant never ending criticism of this administration for not catching the Fiend Butcher of 9/11. Pelosi, Kennedy, Murtha, Dean, Hillary- every single day they bat this administration over the head for not yet capturing OBL. Those commercials that Kerry ran during his campaign- with the picture of OBL and how many days he has been free since his mass murder act on 9/11? Those were devastating! Our government and media are just CRAZY about getting OBL!
http://www.improbablecollapse.com/ “Improbable Collapse: The Demolition of Our Republic” is the first film to look at the events of September 11, 2001 from a strictly scientific perspective. The film closely examines one of the world’s worst catastrophes from a civil engineering perspective. Using photo and video footage as well as expert scientific testimony, the film thoroughly examines the official reports, offering varied criticisms of the official findings, while raising a more plausible hypothesis. The findings from these scientific experts have been quietly ignored by both government investigations and the mainstream media. Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is. ~George W. Bush The 9/11 story can't be sustained. The collapses. The stand down. The whereabouts of the hijackers before . . . it can't be sustained. It's crumbling. The only option then, for the conspirators, is to ratchet up the police state. And this can only be accomplished by a massive false flag op killing more thousands.
The next time we will all be more awake and able to discern it as a false flag at the moment it happens. The evidence will still be fresh, like the rope ready to hang every one of 'em.

Bush Well of course they were - when have jet planes loaded with fuel crashed into highrise buildings before at full speed? I don't question the use of these attacks to ratchet up the power of govt - I just don't see any evidence to allow me to accept the demolition theory.

That's exactly what it is. I'm not a 9-11 truther or any of that shit (and I've talked about why before) but this idiot's comment is just that: mindless crapola crayola spew. A pet monkey could say the same shit after the past six years.
the law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal bread.

I can still remember a time when anyone who claimed the title of "conservative" would have been ashamed to play the "hate" card because it's a cheap tactic for the mentally deficient to shut down an argument. But thanks to hypocrites like pillbaugh, that no longer applies.

"In a free society, it's incumbent to hold people responsible for what they say." Chooser, here is one of your idiot friends at Duke. He knows how to tow the line. He knows what happened to Michael Zebuhr, the graduate student from Clemson University that was actively spreading the truth of 9/11 to his fellow classmates. Yep, you know what happened to him too. He was murdered.
God is always good! What a complete dumbass robot. I'm sure he doesn't ever turn on the lights.

These three buildings became the first such structures to ever suffer complete collapse due to fire and damage.
