About a year ago, Gadsby came to the conclusion based on his research that the U.S. government, not terrorists, demolished the World Trade Center buildings in New York on Sept. 11, 2001. And that belief turned him into a fasting activist.
Gadsby found a video online that showed the collapse of World Trade Center 7. He believes the government has ordered media outlets not to show the footage, which shows the building falling in on itself, much like a building does when it implodes.
The footage clinched it for Gadsby. He had to rethink all he had accepted about the terrorist attacks. He spent sleepless nights thinking about how the government planted explosions in Building 7 and then, most likely, the twin towers. Then, how they must have hired men to pilot the planes. And then ordered the media to cover it all up.
Some of Gadsby’s theories, and those of the 9/11 Truth Movement, were looked into by Popular Mechanics in a 2005 article and a subsequent book. The magazine found that the theories had no merit and called them “poisonous.”
“What we saw was that the errors and misrepresentations of the conspiracy movement were not simply innocent errors,” said Jim Meigs, editor in chief of Popular Mechanics. “In many cases, they were very, very deliberate distortions.” Meigs asked McCain to write the forward to the book, and the senator agreed.
Gadsby theorized that McCain was either lying or was lied to. He said he respects McCain, so he was clinging to the notion that the state’s senior senator was lied to.
Although he did not get to meet Senator McCain he did receive a reply which read in part:
“My staff and I are always open to new, scientifically substantiated information that helps explain how and why the tragedies of September 11th occurred. I welcome any additional new information you may wish to present on the subject and will make my staff available to listen to your concerns.”
Also, as a result of his hunger strike, Arizona State Senator Karen Johnson, a Republican from Mesa, visited Gadsby and delivered a letter to McCain’s office asking him to meet with Gadsby and she praised his efforts in front of the Arizona State Senate with him present. All of this has gained alot of coverage in Arizona’s The Republic, as well as a major news radio station and two television stations, and countless 9/11 and non-9/11 sites on the internet.
Professor Gadsby’s courageous hunger strike is a testament to those non-violent peaceful methods of protest used by Gandhi and just as effective today as they were back then. A day by day account of his efforts can be found at:

“As a professor of Religious Studies and of Islam, it was apparent immediately that the reasons given for the attack were suspect: ‘they hate us because we are free’. This was my first clue that the event was being spun, if not greatly distorted… then I learned of the buildings and their apparent ‘collapsing’.
A picture’s worth a thousand words, WTC7 sealed it for me. If this could be satisfactorily explained, I would put down my protest banners and go home.” — Professor Blair Gadsby

Blair Gadsby is a Professor of Religious Studies at Chandler-Gilbert Community College in Phoenix Arizona who staged a hunger strike outside the Phoenix office of U.S. Sen. John McCain in an effort to meet and talk with the Senator regarding the need for the Senator to meet with experts who will present evidence that the WTC buildings came down through controlled demolition.
