David Shayler - 9/11 Truth Movement

9/11 Truth Movement

Following the release of the 9/11 Commission Report, David Shayler joined the 9/11 Truth Movement, a movement which holds as a primary tenet the belief that the official explanation for the September 11, 2001 attacks is partly (or completely) fraudulent. The New Statesman has reported Shayler stating "no planes were involved in 9/11" and that the apparent "planes" were missiles camouflaged by holograms. Shayler allegedly argues that the planes seen crashing into the World Trade Center were switched out planes with detonation pods underneath, although he says the attack on the Pentagon was not the result of a plane impact.

In February 2007, Shayler appeared in Ireland with Annie Machon and William Rodriguez. who unsuccessfully sued President Bush and 155 others in federal court alleging their complicity in the 9/11 attacks.
