David Ray Griffin, R.I.P. - Tribute Presentation December 9th
Below is a copy/paste from No Lies Radio. I replaced the tracking Links with ones that take you straight to the destination.
While David deserves all the accolades and more, his book that stands out for me is “Osama Bin Laden: Dead Or Alive?”. To my knowledge, David was the first with a book on that subject, the truth of which was easily confirmed by the sources he cited. David gave many interviews and talks on OBL’s role, and demise in December 2001. That, to me, was one of the keys for the masses to understand that 9/11 was and remains a huge False Flag. While The Official Story about the Pentagon is easily disproven (missile or explosives, but no way in heck was it an airplane), how “The Towers” came down requires a much deeper dive. Without some technical expertise—or the time/inclination/ability to develop some—all too often, determining the basics of what happened with The Towers relies too much on which speakers/authors you find most convincing.
The livestream begins Friday, December 9th, at Noon, Pacific Time. I’ll wait for the recording to be available for download (I “Registered” for the livestream, but that’s just so that I get at least one email reminding me of the presentation). ____________________________________________________________________________

My personal reflection:
The Day My Life Changed Forever
His voice was deceptively gentle on the radio that afternoon, March 29, 2006. I had by chance turned to the FM station KPFA, on my way back from a construction observation duty in the San Francisco Bay Area. There was a very brave talk show host, Bonnie Faulkner, who was the only one at the station willing to take deep dives into exposing the Deep State, but I didn’t know about that, or her, yet – nor of her mysterious guest that day, David Ray Griffin.
She was asking him to share with her audience his findings, having just discovered Graeme MacQueen’s deep research into the 500 pages of explosive testimonies of the Oral Histories of hundreds of 9/11 first responders – released by New York City under court order in August of 2005.
This professor of theology carefully read many of these eyewitness statements of explosions, one after another. I found myself entering a state of cognitive dissonance. I had never heard of any alternative theory about how the Twin Tower’s came down.
I couldn’t drive and listen to this at the same time. It required all of my brain power to try to process his message. The testimony was powerful – and already contradicting my very world view. I pulled my car into the parking lot and just sat and listened – in horror actually. I thought I knew pretty well what happened on 9/11. I was a Reagan Republican and wanted to go into Afghanistan and Iraq and get those bastards who did this to us.
But here was this very well-spoken, seemingly objective, elderly gentleman, telling me about beams flying out of the towers laterally, dripping with molten metal, impaling themselves into buildings hundreds of feet away. He even tried to tell me that a third tower came down – one that wasn’t even hit by a plane! “What?! I’m an architect! I would know if a third tower came down! They would have told me!
Either this guy is the biggest con artist – or I had been conned by my government – and I just couldn’t go there – not yet anyway. I would prove him wrong. I went to see him the next night at the Grand Lake Theater in Oakland, CA. But I was late. And he had attracted a sell-out crowd of 600. I couldn’t get in!
DRG attracted 600 9/11-truth-curious souls – including my own to this classic theater in Oakland, CA in 2006
I could listen to him on what they were calling a “livestream” (brand new back then!). What I heard, online that night, was a deeply moving presentation that covered a whole lot more ground than I had heard on the radio, and it was delivered with a simple logic that I couldn’t fight. David Ray Griffin stepped aside and let his evidence do the work. I was in trouble. By the time he was done with me, I felt like I had been turned upside down and inside out. I was confused – raw and vulnerable, yet this had turned to anger in the days and weeks to come, and the anger turned to action, as I independently verified his outrageous insinuations about my government and the media who had lied to me on a colossal scale. It was his unique unassuming style that had stripped me defenseless and enabled me to see the truth. I learned that millions of others were equally taken apart at the seams by the logic in his 15 books and dozens of presentations around the world.
Looking back on the painful transformation, caused by this innocent man, I have indeed arrived at a state of deep gratitude.
I am deeply humbled to follow in the path of David Ray Griffin and Steven Jones – both of whom taught me courage, and changed my life, forever.
For he, and others inspired by him such as Steven Jones, over the course of the following years, mentored and encouraged me to follow in some giant footsteps and speak my new-found 9/11 truth. He will live in my heart and continue to be heard as long as I have breath to speak.
Many of the presentations by David Ray Griffin have been filmed by Ken Jenkins and are available at 9-11TV.org
