9/11 Reclaiming the Truth, Reclaiming Our Future
A Benefit for the Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance

Here is the August 24, 2011 Press Advisory.
Join us on this ten-year anniversary of the tragedy of 9/11 as we explore the truth of this traumatic event and what it means. As we mourn our losses, we seek to honor the dead and dying by fearlessly understanding 9/11 as a crime. Through film, the spoken word, music, art, revolutionary comedy, action, and dialogue--and in solidarity with events in Toronto, Seattle, and New York--we will gather to share stories, insights, research and feelings about that day, the forgotten history that led up to it, and the decade that followed. Those brave enough to seek, find, and champion the truth about 9/11 have encountered enormous obstacles and resistance. The official story of what happened on 9/11, which has been used to justify endless war abroad and restriction of freedoms at home, has been accepted by a majority of the American people only because there has been a massive cover-up of what really happened on that day. The Battle of Story is greater than the Story of Battle. Will reason, love, and concern triumph over panic, fear and despair? Will we end war, or will war end humanity? Is there an alternative to the fusion of corporate and government power that trumps local, regional and national sovereignty and threatens every facet of our lives?
Join us as we explore such questions, as well as the myths and realities that surround this watershed moment in our history.
This year The Northern California 9/11 Truth Alliance will hold our 7th annual 9/11 truth film festival at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland Thursday September 8, 2011, beginning at noon, and at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco Sunday, September 11, 2011, beginning at 1 pm. We will also gather at the Gandhi Statue, near the Ferry Building, in San Francisco at 10 am, Sunday, September 11th, for our tenth annual 9/11 Truth March/Parade, which will pass by Justin Herman Plaza, Hallidie Plaza, UN Plaza, to the Civic Center, close to the San Francisco War Memorial Veterans Building, where the Herbst Theater is located at 401 Van Ness Avenue (at McAllister).
In 2004, the Herbst Theatre hosted the San Francisco International Inquiry into 9/11 in solidarity with the Toronto International Citizens Inquiry into 9/11 and a 9/11 Citizens Commission in New York. This year we will include live streaming of some of the Toronto Hearings, and the events in Seattle. ONE: The Event - Shifting from Fear to Love in Seattle, Washington, will include a “Global Synchronized Moment of Love" at 3:46 pm on September 11, 2011 harnessing our collective intention to shift to love-based, collaborative solutions for our planetary thriving.”

            Hypothesis by Brett Smith (45 minutes). Trailer:
              'hy.poth.e.sis' is a documentary film that follows physics professor Steven E. Jones during a pivotal point in his life. In 2005, Steven went public with a controversial theory regarding the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9/11. His assertion that the collapse was likely the result of pre-positioned explosives rather than the hijacked planes resulted in a backlash from the community and even threatened his standing as a professor at BYU. Despite hate mail, threats, and even bribery to end his research, Steven refused to give in to overwhelming pressure and continued his pursuit of the truth.

The Toronto Hearings will be moderated by Dr. Michael Keefer (Canada) and Dr. Matthew Witt (United States), and the final report will be edited by American attorney James Gourley.

              ONE: THE EVENT WE ARE THE ONE ONE with ourselves ONE with each other ONE with our planet
              Inspired by the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and the passion of Seattle Fire Fighter Erik Lawyer, we invite you to participate in ONE: The Event. With more than 3 million people around the world, we will make a collective shift by choosing love over fear, kindness over anger, and responsibility rather than blame. In remembrance of the tragedies of September 11th and the wars that followed, we will honor all those senselessly lost by rebuilding our relationships with love and kindness, and celebrate our global unity. You, your friends and loved ones are all invited to join us online, or at our hub event in Seattle on 9/11, or at one of our satellite events across the world to help us launch a movement ending our cycle of fear and disempowerment, and step into our collective power of ONE. Now and forever! Since it is up to each of us to make this shift, as part of our campaign, we ask you to make your own fearless declaration stated as “I AM THE ONE WHO…” through your online submissions and communications of videos, photographs, tweets and blogs. (Examples: “I am the ONE who will choose love over fear in my life” or “I am the ONE who will end hunger in Africa” or “I am the ONE who will make people smile every chance I get.)
              Through our individual and collective expressions, on the day most associated with fear and hate, we can shift this to the most powerful day of love and unity. Help us turn one of Humanity's Darkest Days into its Brightest. WE ARE THE ONE! BE PART OF OUR GLOBAL EXPRESSION OF OUR POWER OF ONE!
