A statement of principles from Exposing 9/11
A key goal is to give the Pentagon evidence its rightful place in the efforts of the Truth Movement to spread awareness of the lies in the 9/11 official story
By Craig McKee
Last week, I created this page for Exposing 9/11 and posted a first article to introduce the group and its core members. In this follow-up, I share with you our mission statement and a statement of 13 principles that guide our efforts.
In the weeks ahead, you will find a great deal more content on this Substack page that challenges the official narrative and on lines of inquiry that have been marginalized, avoided, or actively suppressed — both outside and within the 9/11 Truth Movement. We reject false narratives promoted by governments and media institutions, and we also challenge disinformation and gatekeeping within the 9/11 Truth Movement itself.
Mission statement
Exposing 9/11 has been created to advance the truth about the crimes of September 11, 2001, by defending essential evidence, especially that suppressed or marginalized within the 9/11 Truth Movement, and by confronting deception and disinformation both inside and outside the movement.
Statement of Principles
1. Commitment to truth over narrative
We hold that the official narrative of September 11, 2001, is demonstrably false and that its continued promotion constitutes an ongoing deception. Our work is guided by evidence, logic, and honest inquiry—not by political convenience, celebrity, or institutional loyalty.
2. Disclosure as a moral imperative
Nearly 3,000 people were killed on September 11, 2001, and countless others have suffered as a result of the wars, surveillance, and erosion of civil liberties that has followed. Full disclosure of what truly happened is not optional; it is a moral obligation owed to the victims, their families, and the public.
3. Focus on suppressed and marginalized evidence
We prioritize areas of 9/11 research that have been ignored, minimized, or actively suppressed—particularly evidence relating to the Pentagon and Shanksville events, as well as other critical facts that contradict the official story.
4. Insistence on inclusion of the Pentagon evidence in formal submissions
We are committed to ensuring that evidence relating to the Pentagon event is not excluded from submissions, briefings, or petitions presented by the 9/11 Truth Movement to government bodies, officials, or investigative inquiries. Any effort to seek accountability while omitting this evidence undermines the integrity of the record and perpetuates the very suppression such submissions claim to oppose. This principle applies to all current and future submissions, including those under development for review by members of the U.S. Senate or other governmental bodies.
5. Recognition of established findings
We affirm that the controlled demolition of the three World Trade Center towers has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. While this evidence remains central, it does not exhaust the case. Other decisive conclusions have also been reached and deserve equal attention.
6. Emphasis on demonstrating deception over speculative debate
Our primary focus is on establishing that September 11, 2001, was a coordinated act of mass deception and cover-up, rather than adjudicating every competing theory about how it was carried out. While hypotheses and models have a place in research, the existence of deliberate deception—demonstrated through false official claims, suppressed evidence, and provable impossibilities—does not depend on resolving every unanswered question.
7. Independence from government and media power
We reject undue reliance on government agencies, official investigations, and mainstream media institutions that have repeatedly misrepresented or concealed the truth about 9/11. Independence is essential to credibility.
8. Principled dissent within the 9/11 Truth Movement
Truth-seeking requires accountability—not enforced unity. We will openly challenge dishonest, manipulative, or suppressive behavior within the 9/11 Truth Movement itself, especially when such behavior undermines decisive evidence or protects false narratives. We oppose excessive reliance on evidence or data that is wholly controlled, curated, or withheld by the U.S. government, where independent verification is absent or impossible.
9. Opposition to centralized control of the 9/11 Truth Movement
We oppose efforts by any single organization to exercise effective control over the direction or messaging of the 9/11 Truth Movement, particularly attempts to marginalize, exclude, or suppress evidence and lines of inquiry through informal or institutional authority. A movement grounded in independent inquiry cannot be subordinated to centralized authority without sacrificing intellectual integrity.
10. Rejection of false balance and manufactured uncertainty
We oppose tactics that frame established facts as unresolved, divisive, or unknowable. Claims that certain evidence is “too controversial” or “impossible to resolve” serve only to protect deception and prolong confusion.
11. Respect for genuine scholarship and good-faith inquiry
We honor researchers and activists who have pursued the truth with rigor, courage, and integrity. Disagreement conducted in good faith strengthens inquiry; deception and gatekeeping corrupt it.
12. Truth before unity
We reject calls for “unity” that muzzle legitimate dissent or require us to abandon powerful evidence. Real unity emerges from honest confrontation with facts, not from compromise with falsehood.
13. Public education and accountability
Our purpose is not merely to reach conclusions, but to communicate them clearly—to the public, to independent media, and to those in positions of influence—so that accountability becomes unavoidable.
Thank you Craig. It has been disappointing to see the fragmentation of the 9/11 truth movement. As an early signatory of the AE911 petition(citizen) I was challenged by the lack of outreach to the general public and the limited focus of all the groups: Firefighters, Pilots, Architects/Engineers, Etc... As society is transitioning toward a more "aware" sense of government/Deep State activity I believe it is imperative to keep our focus on outreach to the masses. In a way, COVID may have been a wake up call that cannot be ignored or forgotten. These days I refer any curious minds I encounter to The Corbett Report and the wealth of information therein. Your efforts are very much appreciated. Spread the Word.
Gratitude for your principled approach to what was the most cataclysmic event of the turning century. For my own experience having gone to the towers and plaza in the summer of 2001 and undergoing a powerful premonition this is redeeming and necessary to know that my internal alarm bells correctly predicted the disaster while it was being staged. Seeing the global fallout from the end of diplomatic proceedings in US foreign policy and the overt assumption of false narratives to carry out wars with zero justification or congressional approval has been eye opening and career ending. Millions of lives lost, the complete destruction of public faith in institutions and the passage of the Patriot Act changed the shape of our national reputation and gutted the place of pride once held by democracy as a political standard. We stand where we are today because 9/11 tore down the illusion of inalienable rights, due process, and rational debate. It was the day autocracy was crowned for the kings to come. Revealing any and all truths about that day is a mandatory healing process that may or may not save US. Faith may never be restored but justice may be served.
