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; 1
- 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:

This epidemiological study estimated 654,965 excess deaths in Iraq related to the war, or 2.5% of the population, through the end of June 2006.
Dr. Gideon Polya, author of Body Count: Global Avoidable Mortality Since 1950, estimated by January 2010 that more than four million Afghanis died (from both violent and non-violent causes) since the 2001 invasion, who would not have died without the invasion. See: “January 2010 – 4.5 Million Dead in Afghan Holocaust, Afghan Genocide.”
