The 9/11 Consensus Points
Factual Evidence Contradicts the 9/11 Story
The official account of the events of September 11, 2001, has been used:
to justify the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, which have resulted in the deaths of millions of people;
to authorize torture, military tribunals, and extraordinary rendition; and
to suspend freedoms guaranteed by the American Constitution such as habeas corpus in the USA, and similar freedoms in Canada, the UK, and other countries.
The official claims regarding 9/11 are contradicted by facts that have been validated by a scientific consensus process, and which include the following points of “best evidence”.
The 28 Consensus Points are divided into the nine categories below, which in turn link to the individual 28 points:
