Dr. David Ray Griffin is an acclaimed philosopher, theologian, author, 9/11 researcher and Nobel Peace Prize nominee. One of the most prominent spokespersons for the worldwide 9/11 Truth Movement, David Ray Griffin has written nine books about the 9/11 attacks and the official reports concerning them including “The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7: Why the Final Official 9/11 Report is Unscientific and False”. His books about 9/11 have been endorsed by numerous scholars as well as peace and anti-war advocates, including the late Howard Zinn, Richard Falk, Ray McGovern, Ed Asner, Bill Christison, Mark Crispin Miller, Marcus Raskin, Rosemary Ruether, Peter Dale Scott, and the late William Sloane Coffin.
Dr. Griffin, currently retired as a Professor of Philosophy of Religion and Theology, co-founded the Center for Process Studies in 1973, a research center of Claremont School of Theology which seeks to promote the common good by means of the relational approach found in process thought. Since 2003 he has spent most of his time writing and speaking about 9/11. In 2009, this work resulted in his being ranked 41st in the New Statesman’s list of “The 50 People Who Matter Today.”
“Whereas it is widely recognized that the US-led war in Afghanistan is illegal under international law, because it was never authorized by the UN Security Council, most Americans have believed that it was morally justified as a response to the 9/11 attacks, and many believe it is still justified as a necessary means to prevent another attack originating from that region.
My lecture will present evidence showing that both of these beliefs are untrue, so that the 9/11 Truth Movement and more traditional Peace and Anti-War groups should be able to combine forces to oppose this illegal and immoral war.” – Dr. David Ray Griffin
