7. De Blasio lashes out: 9/11 truth getting noticed thanks to Building 7 ballot initiative

New York Mayor Bill De Blasio has made it official: the effort to force the City of New York to investigate the destruction of Building 7 is having a significant effect on the profile of the 9/11 Truth Movement.

The mayor recently lashed out at the efforts to get a question on the ballot in the November municipal election that would, if it passes, impose a change to the city’s charter. The change would force the city’s Department of Buildings to investigate all high-rise collapses retroactive to Sept. 11, 2001. Exempted would be the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.

In an article in Crain’s New York Business, de Blasio said: “From what I’ve heard, it’s absolutely ridiculous. And it’s inappropriate, after all the suffering that went on 9/11 and since. It seems to be this is a very insensitive and inappropriate action.”

The article is one of a number that have emerged as the mainstream media starts to actually cover the story. The effort, called the High-Rise Safety Initiative, is being organized by the NYC Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN). The campaign needed 30,000 signatures to hit the initial target for getting the initiative considered by the city council, and another 15,000 by Sept. 5 to override any decision by council to reject the initiative.
