The 2nd International 9/11 Truth Conference came to Japan this week, with sessions in Akita, Kobe, Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo. The Corbett Report was in Osaka to report from the event and has obtained audio and video of the keynote speech by David Ray Griffin, as well as interviews with the conference organizer and attendees.
An interview with Yumi Kikuchi, organizer of the conference, is now available on The Corbett Report's YouTube channel. Click this link to go directly to the video or watch in the player below:
The latest episode of The Corbett Report's podcast contains more information about the conference as well as highlights of our interview with Etsuko Chida a worker for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees who was in Kandahar on September 11th. In this exclusive interview, Ms. Chida tells her amazing personal story of evacuating from Kandahar in the wake of the attack as blame was laid at the feet of Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban. She also muses on the possibility that Osama Bin Laden, being a CIA asset, was not being supported by the Taliban at all. Interview of this amazing video will be released on The Corbett Report's YouTube page later this week.

In this lecture Professor Griffin talks about the incidents at the Pentagon and the World Trade Center on September 11, including the numerous contradictions and anomalies in the official story of those events. He also responds to Popular Mechanic's oft-cited criticisms of the 9/11 Truth movement's claims about these incidents.

The evening lecture was a prepared speech entitled "The New Pearl Harbor Revisited: 9/11, The Cover-up & The Expose, A Lecture for Japanese Audiences." It covered the full range of Professor Griffin's work, from his first book on the subject, The New Pearl Harbor to his latest work on the subject The New Pearl Harbor Revisited. In the lecture he covers physical evidence for the controlled demolition of the World Trade Center, the lack of evidence for Flight 77 hitting the Pentagon, the lack of air response by NORAD on that day, the deep ties of 9/11 Commission Executive Director to the White House and other evidence contradicting the official story of 9/11.
Both the afternoon and evening lecture is delivered in English and translated in Japanese, making it a valuable resource for both English and Japanese speakers seeking a broader understanding of what took place on 9/11/2001.
After the keynote address by Professor Griffin in the evening, a debunker was given time to attempt to refute Professor Griffin's points. Aside from acting rude and curt to the very conference organizers who had invited him to speak in the first place, he accused Professor Griffin of not having read a certain book on the subject of the Pentagon...despite the fact that Griffin actually quotes from that book in his work. He also attempted to construct an argument that the Jersey girls represented the "true" 9/11 Truth movement in opposition to Griffin, before learning from Professor Griffin that two of the Jersey girls had in fact directly endorsed him and his books. Aside from being jeered at by audience members fed up with his rude and aggressive manner ("You're making an idiot of yourself," one of the attendees yelled), the debunker distinguished himself by displaying a website on a powerpoint projector that prominently featured a link to The Corbett Report's own video parodying the NIST report on WTC7. Perhaps this debunker was not aware the author of the video was in fact in attendance. At any rate, the humor of such a dubious endorsement will not be lost on followers of The Corbett Report.
