Dear Iran: Please appeal—then annihilate the Official Conspiracy Theory in court!
On Monday, April 30, Judge George B. Daniels of the Southern District Court of New York ordered Iran to pay more than $6 billion to 9/11 victims. Thus far Iran has refused to acknowledge the court proceeding on the grounds that the whole world knows it is transparently ridiculous political propaganda with no legal or factual basis. But what if Iran chose to defend itself by presenting proof—in court—that the whole Official Conspiracy Theory is false? That is the suggestion of (originally) fifteen (now 81 and counting) prominent critics of the official story who have signed a letter asking Iran to consider appealing the case and mounting a vigorous 9/11 truth based defense. Below is the letter, which is already being publicized by the Iranian mass media, and will be taken up this weekend by the National Security Council of the Iranian Parliament.

To the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Islamic Republic of Iran
We are writing to urge the Islamic Republic of Iran to immediately appeal the Southern District Court of New York’s ruling ordering Iran to pay more than six billion dollars of reparations for the 2001 terrorist attacks. Please note that the appeal must be filed by Wednesday, May 28, so this is an extremely urgent matter.
We are willing and ready to provide court testimony in support of Iran’s innocence. The extremely weak case against Iran is predicated on the 9/11 Commission’s version of events, according to which 19 alleged hijackers (15 of whom were Saudis, and none of whom were Iranians) precipitated a series of miracles including gross violations of the laws of physics. We can prove absolutely, beyond any reasonable doubt, that this version of events is false, thereby nullifying the case against Iran.
We believe that by strongly contesting this matter in a US court, Iran can win a major media victory over its enemies, and will likely win the legal case as well. For while US courts can be corrupt, they follow procedural rules, and create legal records, that will in this case make it very difficult for the anti-Iran forces to achieve their objectives.
The alternative—not contesting the judgment—hands the anti-Iran forces a victory that they do not deserve. For although they have no valid evidence against Iran, if Iran fails to defend itself, it appears to be admitting guilt.
Strong peer-reviewed evidence useful to a court defense resides on the websites of three research organizations.
Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth https://www.AE911Truth.org
Consensus 9/11 http://www.consensus911.org
Scientists for 9/11 Truth http://www.scientistsfor911truth.org
The leaders of these organizations could possibly be reached for consultation through myself at Kevin@mujca.org.
We urge the government of Iran to contact Mr. Mick Harrison Esq. of the Lawyers Committee for 9/11 Inquiry who, in his capacity as a private attorney, may be able to help the Islamic Republic of Iran take the initial steps toward assembling a legal team to appeal Judge Daniels’ ruling in advance of the May 28 deadline:

Letter from the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry
THE LAWYERS’ COMMITTEE
FOR 9/11 INQUIRY, INC.
a 501(c)(3) charitable organization
426 River Mill Road

Kevin Barrett VIA E-MAIL
June 22, 2018
Kevin,
As you know, the Lawyers’ Committee Board met on May 23, 2018 and discussed and voted on whether the Lawyers’ Committee as an organization could appropriately sign on to a letter to the government of Iran such as you had drafted and have now delivered (directly or indirectly). In the end we decided that as a non-profit lawyers’ organization it would not be appropriate for the Lawyers’ Committee to sign a letter to Iran regarding potential litigation such as Iran’s upcoming appeal deadline on the default judgment. The Board directed me to provide you this detailed explanation of our position for posting on your web pages/sites with your original Iran letter.
We understand that your goal is to facilitate a presentation to the American public (and the world) of evidence as to what really happened on 9/11, and that you believe that the Iran litigation may provide an appropriate forum for that evidence to be presented in a possible public federal court proceeding as a legitimate part of Iran’s defense. While the Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry, Inc. is primarily a lawyers’ organization whose mission is to promote transparency and accountability regarding 9/11 and, consequently, we are certainly not opposed to evidence being presented in a federal court proceeding regarding what really transpired on 9/11 and leading up to 9/11, we are not currently set up to litigate on behalf of other parties. Even if we were, we would have to comply with the rules of conduct for attorneys which substantially restrict attorneys from soliciting potential clients. In addition, attorneys cannot provide a recommendation for a client or potential client to take a particular legal action, including the filing of an appeal, without first evaluating the merits of that action which would include a review of the entire case file and applicable law, which in the instant case we have not done.
For these reasons, we, as an organization, cannot sign on to a letter requesting or recommending that Iran file an appeal of the default judgment that was recently entered against Iran, nor can we offer legal assistance, advice, or representation to Iran or any other nation, state, corporation, group, or individual party. Of course, the evidence we have developed in support of the Petition to the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York that we recently filed is publicly available on our web site www.lcfor911.org and could be used by any party in any litigation to the extent that it was relevant.
The decisions and limitations on actions reflected in this letter are decisions and limitations on actions of the Lawyers’ Committee and do not necessarily imply that individual attorneys, scientists, or investigators involved with the Lawyers’ Committee or on our Board would be similarly restricted in their individual and private capacities should they be asked and agree to provide legal assistance to any nation, state, corporation, group, or individual. Any such requests would have to be evaluated and decided on a case by case basis by the person(s) requested to provide such assistance, with prior consultation with and approval by the Lawyers’ Committee if needed and appropriate with regard to potential conflicts of interest.
However, the Lawyers’ Committee Board of Directors has adopted a policy intended to maintain the independence and objectivity of the Lawyers’ Committee in pursuing our 9/11 related public interest investigations and our goals of 9/11 transparency and accountability. That policy requires any Lawyers’ Committee Board Member, attorney, or staff member to timely disclose to the Board any request for legal or other assistance from any party who has been officially charged with or might reasonably be perceived to have culpability in any 9/11 related crimes, and if the Lawyers’ Committee Board Member, attorney, or staff member decides to provide such assistance to such party, then, in order to preserve the independence and objectivity of the Lawyers’ Committee, that Board Member, attorney, or staff member would be required to resign from any role with the Lawyers’ Committee.
The Lawyers’ Committee has not made any determinations regarding Iran’s, or any other nation or government’s, potential criminal culpability or civil liability, and our 9/11 related investigations have not been completed. The above mentioned policy adopted by the Board, however, would not preclude the Lawyers’ Committee, in an appropriate case or cases where the public interest would be served thereby, acting in the role of a friend of the court (amicus curiae) or as an intervening party in a 9/11 related litigation. The Lawyers’ Committee of course reserves its options to bring civil litigation on its own behalf to foster our own non-profit mission.
Regards,
Mick Harrison, Attorney at Law

Great stuff – absolutely support this
Those well-meaning people are naïvely trying to extrapolate their credulity and stupid faith in the System, and its utterly corrupt institutions, onto Iran. “South district of New York”…you might as well ask Iran to defend itself in a tel-aviv court every time an Israeli bullet kills a Palestinian child, to prove that it was the Israelis who did it.
The whole idea is based on the premise that “poor people don’t know that the official story is 100% rubbish”. That’s as ridiculous and dishonest as the official story of 911 itself.
If people were real people who resent oppression and servitude, something positive would have happened a long time ago. There is an unspoken agreement between those servitude-addicted people and the rulers :
“You lie to us, we’ll pretend that we believe you with all our strengh and acting skills, and you leave us alone to roam on the plantation undisturbed as usual (ie : tv shows, ball games, barbecues on hollidays, cheap goods made in slave-shops all around the globe, dating and mind games, feeding the machine by working like mindless robots from 9 to 5…etc)”.
Any challenge to the status quo is always repugnant to the consenting hypocritical well-adapted slave. I hope that Iran will not allow itself to be carried along the treacherous path suggested.
To argue in the court of your oppressors is to recognize their right to bully you around. All you have left is the duty to obey and comply with your oppressors’ whims.
You shame me, Amin Abdullah. I agree with your words and I am sorry that our people have failed thus far to bring the criminals to account for all the hideous crimes committed and wars started worldwide.
With God’s help, I will turn my own simplistic peace advocacy into effective action, until the truth is known and justice is achieved.
May God protect and bless the Iranian people.
Dear Mr. Abdullah;
You are partly right, partly wrong.
Millions of good Americans do not believe the lies spewed from Neocons, the 9/11 perpetrators who executed 3,000, poisoned 10s of 1000s with death dust during WTC cleanup; NeoConArtists have also been executing the minds of half the population with constant lies and propaganda to the point their dumbed-down heart-minds are paranoid, Islamaphobic, emotionally retarded for supporting the WOT. Thousands of us are preparing to show public support for the non-profit, public interest law group that filed a petition for a grand jury investigation (Mr. Harrison, etc. shown above), b/c the science and the ignored witness-testimonials refute the usgov bullsh-t conspiracy theory. AND WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN!!!
Of course you are right-on about a bullying — but it’s not the citizenry so much as it is those who make war — they are socio-/psychopaths and child rapists known as Deep State but more accurately — Black Ops/Shadow Gov who now control foreign “policy” and b/c of 9/11 LIES — think they have a right to go after M.E. homeland patriots most of whom hate American (military-politicians-lobbyists and blood-money military-industrial-surveillance complex investors) forces, like I do! The US military is the executioner of Zionist-US partner Mossad-Saudi Arabia-Qatari-U.K.- > Central Bankers-Rothchilds-Elite 400 who must be eliminated or jailed plus the ASSets returned / distributed to the millions who fled US-NATO TERRORISM: bombings + drones + night raids – to mention but a few crimes against humanity.
So please, Abdul, the world is not black and white. We in the Truth movement here in the US know someone killed by black budget forces here in the U.S…. Made to look like heart attacks or suicides. Their evil (CIA-Black Ops-and others) keeps spreading here in the u.s.. So we are using the courts which still have some integrity, depending on where you are.
Our country’s founders were more than good — they were enlightened. We fighting for good government and PUBLIC SERVICE the way MANY americans did/still do today, will fight to the death for freedom and equal rights for all.
One word of advice: contact the Lawyers Committee for 9/11 Inquiry — you will be happily surprised — and if you can — encourage other countries who were attacked by US–>Cheney-Bush, Obama–> to fight these baseless accusations b/c THEY ARE EMPTY. Silence would encourage war hawks to say “See, they won’t even defend themselves in court b/c they know they are guilty” thereby justifying in their warped demon-minds, going to war. THEY MUST BE STOPPED!
