‘Peace, War and 9/11’: A Cinematic Portrait of Graeme MacQueen, A Warrior for Peace

We at the International Center for 9/11 Justice are honored to share Edward Curtin’s just-published review of Peace, War and 9/11, IC911’s new film featuring the late Graeme MacQueen. We encourage you to share it as well!

Curtin writes:

It is one thing to read a review of this important and compelling film — a tour de force — and another to watch it. The former fades into insignificance when one takes an hour-and-a-half to immerse oneself in its tragic yet revelatory story. For in it we see and hear a dying man speak eloquently of how he accepted the role that life brought him — a 9/11 truthteller and peace apostle — and now, as he departs the stage, hopes this last effort will ease his exit and help fulfill his mission as a man of peace.

Because Graeme MacQueen was my close friend for the last ten years of his life, I found it very hard to watch this film since his death on April 25^th is still raw and painful. For more than three years he suffered greatly and yet found the strength to cooperate with his colleague Ted Walter in the making of this important film. Walter’s direction admirably portrays MacQueen’s nobility by having Graeme narrate his life’s work interspersed with documentary footage that illuminates the truth about many issues, most notably the attacks of September 11, 2001 and the subsequent anthrax attacks. The result is a very powerful and important lesson in personal courage and historical truth.

In a groundbreaking interview that is likely to be seen by millions of people worldwide, IC911 Executive Director Ted Walter spoke with famed comedian and political commentator Russell Brand.

In the main portion of the interview, available on Rumble, they talk about World Trade Center Building 7, about 9/11 being perpetrated to create a pretext for launching the global war on terror, and about the revolutionary potential of exposing the 9/11 crimes.

A shorter segment about Building 7, the Twin Towers, and the alleged hijackers can be found on X (formerly Twitter).

The full interview can be seen by members of Brand’s Locals community.

Today the International Center for 9/11 Justice is republishing Chapters 12 (Wirt Walker), 13 (Barry McDaniel), and 14 (Rudy Giuliani) of Kevin Ryan’s landmark 2013 book, Another Nineteen: Investigating Legitimate 9/11 Suspects. Here is Ryan’s introduction to these chapters.

Author’s Note on ‘Another Nineteen’ Chapters 12, 13, and 14

Wirt D. Walker and Barry McDaniel, the subjects of Chapters 12 and 13, respectively, were the leaders of Stratesec, the company that controlled electronic security for the WTC complex up to and including the day that the Twin Towers and Building 7 were demolished. Stratesec also had security contracts for Dulles Airport, where Flight 77 took off on 9/11, and for United Airlines, which owned two of the four planes. At the WTC, Stratesec controlled all the security systems necessary to facilitate the placement of explosives, including electronic badging, security gates, and the closed-circuit video system.

In the years since 9/11, it has become apparent that both Walker and McDaniel are deep state operatives.

As the son of a U.S. intelligence officer and a descendent of the attorney for Russell & Company, Walker had a career that mirrored those of known CIA operatives Ted Shackley and Robert Sensi. Walker began his career at the Office of Strategic Services-linked investment firm Glore Forgan, where he worked with William Casey. He went on to manage the parent company of Stratesec, KuwAm Corporation, which held its meetings in Saudi and Kuwaiti-leased offices at the Watergate Hotel. Walker was also named as a suspect in 9/11 insider trading by the Securities and Exchange Commission yet was never questioned. Chapter 12 describes much of this history, along with Stratesec’s connections to the terrorist financing network BCCI and to the Bush family — which included that Marvin Bush, George W. Bush’s brother, sat on the Stratesec board.

McDaniel came to Stratesec from BDM International, a Carlyle Group subsidiary that ran secret operations for U.S. military and intelligence. Prior to that, he was in charge of the distribution of military ordnance for the U.S. Army Materiel Command, during which time he was in a position to participate in the Iran-Contra crimes. Why McDaniel’s military logistics and special operations experience made him the right person to run security at the WTC is a pointed question that suggests his involvement in the 9/11 crimes. McDaniel joined Stratesec just as it began to see a large increase in work at the WTC, which coincided with upgrades to the elevators and floors of impact and failure. After 9/11, McDaniel went on to a business partnership with a close colleague of Dick Cheney.

Chapter 14 covers Rudy Giuliani, who was the mayor of NYC on 9/11. His Department of Buildings should have supervised building modifications like the elevator upgrades and fireproofing upgrades in the impact zones at the WTC, but it did not. Such work would have allowed for the placement of explosives, incendiaries, and aircraft guidance equipment as needed for the 9/11 operation.

Additional reasons to suspect Giuliani include that he had foreknowledge that the Twin Towers would fall and that he was primarily responsible for the rapid removal and destruction of critical WTC structural evidence. Moreover, Giuliani falsely claimed that the air at Ground Zero was safe to breathe. This claim enabled the rapid removal of evidence at the expense of the health of first responders.

Earlier this week, Ted Walter went on the news show Redacted to update host Clayton Morris and his viewers on the recent breakthrough in the multi-year effort to open a new inquest into the death of British 9/11 victim Geoff Campbell.

If you have only a little time to spare, this 12-minute interview will tell you everything you need to know about the current status of the Campbell family’s case and why the path ahead is so promising.

The International Center for 9/11 Justice is pleased to announce that the Journal of 9/11 Studies has published a new letter by retired structural engineer Ronald Brookman.

Brookman is one of the engineers most responsible for obtaining construction documents related to World Trade Center Building 7 from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and, based on those documents, for identifying egregious errors in NIST’s analysis of the building’s destruction.

Responding to the August 2023 ruling by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Executive Committee — in which the Committee dismissed Richard Johns and Tony Szamboti’s ethics complaint against the editors of the Journal of Engineering Mechanics — Brookman castigates both ASCE and NIST for their abysmal failure to uphold ethical standards and demonstrate scientific integrity.

Brookman compares Johns and Szamboti’s case to his own attempt to criticize a paper on Building 7 by NIST investigator Therese McAllister in the ASCE Journal of Structural Engineering. Both cases, he shows, reveal a disturbing pattern of censorship by ASCE journals.

Brookman’s letter can be found in a new section of the Journal’s Letters page called “ASCE Censorship of WTC Scientific Debate,” accompanied by all of the documents related to the Johns and Szamboti ethics case.

Last night, the news show Redacted followed up its release of the film Peace, War and 9/11 and its coverage of RFK Jr.’s recent comments on Building 7 by airing an in-depth interview with Kevin Ryan.

Ryan is the editor of the Journal of 9/11 Studies, a board member of the International Center for 9/11 Justice, and author of Another Nineteen: Investigating Legitimate 9/11 Suspects, which the Center is currently republishing on its website.

In this interview, Ryan and host Clayton Morris first discuss the falsity of the 9/11 hijacker story — from the inability of the alleged hijackers to commandeer and pilot the airplanes to their very un-Islamic lifestyle to the revelations made earlier this year regarding the CIA recruitment of two of the alleged hijackers, Nawaf al-Hazmi and Khalid al-Mihdhar.

From there, Ryan touches on the inexplicable air defense failures, uninvestigated insider trading, and the big picture of 9/11 as a false flag attack that launched an era of permanent war and vastly increased the power of the U.S. executive branch.

Don’t miss this exceptionally informative interview!

Today the International Center for 9/11 Justice is republishing Chapters 10 and 11 of Kevin Ryan’s 2013 book, Another Nineteen: Investigating Legitimate 9/11 Suspects. Here is Ryan’s introduction to these chapters.

Author’s Note on ‘Another Nineteen’ Chapters 10 and 11

The events at the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, are still not well understood. However, there are many odd coincidences related to the building renovation project in progress at that time that can shed light on what happened. These coincidences include the following:

• Wedge 1, the relatively small section of the Pentagon that had just completed renovation, was exactly where the aircraft hit.
• The company that did the renovation was immediately hired to clean up the debris at both the Pentagon and the WTC. That company was led by Peter Janson, a long-time business colleague of Donald Rumsfeld.
• The renovation project was led by Paul Wolfowitz and before him by his predecessor John Hamre. They employed a project manager whose experience was not in construction but in a top-secret U.S. Air Force black project related to satellites.
• Just before 9/11, satellite-based GPS guidance systems had been developed that removed control of an airliner from its pilots and ran an uninterruptible pre-programmed autopilot plan. The technology was thoroughly tested by Raytheon and the U.S. Air Force in the three months before 9/11.

Details provided in Chapter 10 describe how these facts can provide answers to questions that otherwise have no reasonable explanations.

Chapter 11 gives the history of two men, L. Paul Bremer and Brian Michael Jenkins, who led the national discussion about terrorism for decades prior to 9/11. It explains how they helped transform the nation’s perception of the threat of Soviet communism into a perception of a threat of Islamic terrorism. Both of these men were also closely related to aviation security policy and, in another astounding coincidence, both were intimately connected to activities at the WTC.

Brian Michael Jenkins was a special operations soldier who was later accused of planning and implementing a terror war against civilians in Central America during the 1980s. In the ’90s, as deputy chairman of Kroll Associates, Jenkins led the planning for terrorism threats against the WTC buildings, during which he considered the possibility of airliner crashes into the Twin Towers. 

L. Paul Bremer is best known for being the Occupation Governor of Iraq after 9/11, but he had previously played many other roles related to defining terrorism. Those roles led to his being named chairman of the National Commission on Terrorism just before the 9/11. He was also a director for a company that patented a thermite demolition device in 1998. At the time of the attacks, Bremer worked for Marsh & McClennan, which occupied all the floors of impact in the North Tower. Bremer’s office was located in the South Tower, but he was not in the office that day. Instead, he safely avoided danger and spent the day doing interviews in network television studios, helping to provide the official narrative implicating Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda.

Kevin Ryan, September 2023

One day after presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s recent comments about World Trade Center Building 7 and 9/11 broke in the media, Ted Walter went on the show Redacted to talk with Clayton Morris about many “strange things” that happened on 9/11.

Perhaps the most notable of those — referenced by Kennedy in his interview with CNN’s Peter Bergen — was the total, sudden, symmetrical, free-fall destruction of a 47-story steel-framed high-rise that wasn’t struck an airplane.

Although Kennedy was cautious and limited in what he said, to have a serious presidential candidate openly express skepticism about the official narrative of Building 7’s destruction — and 9/11 more broadly — represents a major step forward in the pursuit of 9/11 justice.

Look for more to happen on this front in the weeks and months ahead.

Matt Campbell, the brother of Geoff Campbell, and Ted Walter, the executive director of the International Center for 9/11 Justice, will be participating in a Zoom call this Sunday, October 1, 2023, from 4:00 to 5:00 PM Eastern.

They will discuss the recent victory in the Campbell family’s effort to open a new inquest into the murder of Matt’s brother Geoff on 9/11.

For those of you who are unclear on what an inquest is — and why it will be a watershed moment for 9/11 truth if it goes forward — Matt and Ted will fill you in.

If you have questions or just want to celebrate the victory, join them! You can also watch it afterward.

Also, Matt and IC911 Board Member Piers Robinson will participate in an in-person event in London this Saturday, September 30, from 1:30 to 6:00 PM UK time.

Matt will discuss his family’s ongoing effort to open a new inquest. Piers will give a talk entitled “JFK, COVID and 9/11: Structural Deep Events.” There will also be a screening of Peace, War and 9/11, IC911’s new film featuring the late Graeme MacQueen.

For more information about the Campbell family’s recent victory, see the announcement from September 26, 2023: In major victory for 9/11 family, UK attorney general withdraws decision to deny family’s application for new inquest.

You can also hear Matt break the news and go more in-depth on September 26 episode of TNT Radio show Jerm Warfare with Jermey Nell.

We at the International Center for 9/11 Justice are very happy to announce — on behalf of the family of Geoff Campbell — that the decision by the attorney general for England and Wales to refuse the family’s application for a new inquest into Geoff’s murder on September 11, 2001, has been withdrawn.

This development comes a little less than two weeks after the Campbell family sent a “pre-action protocol letter” to the attorney general’s office announcing their intention to seek judicial review of the attorney general’s June 2023 decision.

The letter included a 21-page submission, to be made to the court, setting forth the family’s grounds for challenging the attorney general’s unlawful and irrational decision, which was issued nearly two years after the family first submitted their application.

The attorney general’s withdrawal of her decision one day before the Campbell family was to file for judicial review is a major victory for the family in their effort to open a new inquest into Geoff’s death.

The attorney general’s office has advised that a new decision will be made “in due course.” Given how much time has already gone into reviewing the application, the family expects a new decision no later than the end of the year.

In light of the attorney general’s implicit admission that the original decision was legally deficient, the Campbell family is confident that the decision will be reversed and is more hopeful than ever that they will have their day in the West London Coroner’s Court — where they will prove that Geoff was killed in the North Tower’s demolition.

The Campbell family and we at the International Center for 9/11 Justice are deeply grateful to all who donated toward the family’s attorney fees. It is your generosity that made this victory possible.
