Bravo to the Stratford Gazette ("Stratford, which is known for its cultural contributions, is located between Kitchener and London in the heart of southwestern Ontario."), which is "delivered free on Fridays to 19,700 households and dealers within the community" for publishing this objective news piece authored by journalist Tori Sutton.

A small group of activists hit the streets of downtown Stratford on Saturday
to spread the word about perceived inconsistencies in the Sept. 11 World Trade
Centre collapse.

Stratford resident Mike Bondi was joined by members of the Kitchener 9/11 Truth
group in Market Square, where they handed out flyers and DVDs to passersby.

In an interview last week, Bondi -- an engineer who began researching
the collapse of the towers a few years ago -- said he hoped to share evidence
about the buildings' demise with the public.

"We're just really looking from a scientific and physical perspective,"
Bondi said.

"There's more than enough evidence to create reasonable doubt that
the official story is not consistent with the evidence (presented)."

Though the matter is highly technical, Bondi said the DVD the group hands out
does a good job of presenting the evidence. The DVD runs just over two hours,
and all information is presented by Richard Gage of California, who founded
the group Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. It looks at the collapse
of the two major towers, along with a smaller building that collapsed around
5 p.m. on Sept. 11, known as Building 7.

"It goes through it in a very scientific manner ... he actually describes
the scientific method and how he has applied it to the event in New York,"
Bondi said.

"It essentially goes through the various points which relate to how the
destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7 have the characteristics of destruction
by explosives and none of the characteristics of destruction by fire."

Some of the evidence includes the fact the towers fell at free fall acceleration,
as if there was no resistance below them, despite the fact the buildings were
made of heavy-duty construction materials.

There were also eyewitness accounts of explosions and flashes seen in other
areas of the buildings, which many believe could only have been caused by demolition
charges.

"Those thousands and thousands of tonnes of concrete and steel had to
get out of the way virtually instantaneously as if they provided no resistance
to the collapse," he said. "It defies physics, it defies our scientific
understanding of how things collapse."

Pieces of building, including tonnes of steel, glass and concrete, were thrown
out of the building, travelling 60 miles per hour and imbedding in buildings
600 feet away. If the buildings did collapse due to fire, Bondi questions why
that happened. Molten metal was found in the rubble days after the attack, something
that just doesn't add up, he added.

Officially, the committee charged to investigate the collapse said the building
"pancaked," meaning the joints holding the floors in place buckled
one after another due to the weight. But Bondi says that historically, no other
buildings have ever collapsed in this manner.

"Ninety-thousand tonnes of metal decking is pulverized in mid-air ...
that doesn't make sense," he said.

Some of his most pressing questions involve Building 7, which was never hit
by a plane, and collapsed hours after the attacks.

"Apparently this collapse was caused by the fires, but no steel frame
building in history has collapsed solely due to fire," Bondi said, adding
areas of the building were heavily reinforced with bomb-proof materials and
bulletproof glass.

"We're expected to believe that on 9/11, for the first time in
history, steel-frame fire proof buildings with thousands of tonnes of concrete
and steel collapsed due to fire, all on the same day. It simply does not make
sense."

Derek Manwell, co-founder of the Kitchener 9/11 Truth group, is also troubled
by evidence of explosive dust in the rubble. Nano-thermite is a highly advanced
explosive composite and Manwell doubts the terrorists would have been able to
obtain the substance.

"It's a military-grade explosive ... it's not something you
can buy at the hardware store," he explained.

Manwell, like many others, never thought twice about the information put forth
by the 9/11 Commission until he started researching a few years ago. What he
found led him to form the Kitchener group, which is part of the 9/11 truth movement
that is active in countries around the world.

On the 11th of each month, members of his group head to the streets to share
information with the public. He was pleased his group, which came to the city
on the 13th, had a chance to spread the word in Stratford, something he hopes
will boost local interest.

"We're going to Stratford in hopes we can educate the public to
a point where they will start their own group to educate people in the area,"
Manwell said. "If that happens it would be quite amazing."

What his group wants -- along with others involved in the 9/11 Truth movement
-- is the US Congress to order a new investigation, with subpoena power.

"There's so many questions unanswered that need to be answered,"
he said. "The families of the victims still have not had their questions
answered."

Adnan Zuberi has taken an academic approach to finding some of those answers.
The graduating mathematical physics student at the University of Waterloo founded
the UW 9/11 Research Group two years ago, which has about 20 core members and
over 200 supporters.

His group has taken several peer-reviewed papers to professors at the university,
but has gotten very little feedback on them.

"As students, we're not exactly experts, so I think the most responsible
thing to do is go to experts and Waterloo has many of them," said Zuberi.

"The group has gone, for the last two years, to our professors in the
relevant fields of expertise.

When we go back to them for feedback, unfortunately they say they have no comment."

He's also studied economic-related anomalies surrounding 9/11, and points
to one academic paper -- which has never been challenged -- that shows
the probability of insider trading in the days leading up to the attacks were
between 98 and 99 per cent.

"In the world of probability and economics, it's basically interpreted
as yes, there was insider trading," he said.

Zuberi's group has brought in several guest speakers, some of which have
drawn crowds up to 400 people. It's essential these events are held, he
said, to raise public awareness about discrepancies in the 9/11 Commission's
findings. Feedback collected at one event showed 90 per cent of those in attendance
thought a new investigation was needed.

And Bondi hopes another appearance in Stratford in the future will help to
continue spreading the word.

He said that 9/11 is a conspiracy by definition, since more than one person
was obviously involved, but it's a more of a question of which theory
is most likely based on the balance of evidence -- the official story or
something else.

"People generally tend to use the term 'conspiracy theorist'
as a derogatory term to put down anyone that doesn't accept the official
version," Bondi said.

"Is it more respectable though to think independently and investigate
information not generally found in the mainstream media, or to simply accept
what we have been told?"
