This is a conversation I’m really surprised to have even happened.
Andy Steele was involved with AE911 for 15 years, and he has seen a lot of interesting things during his time in the 9/11 truth community. The reason I felt compelled to reach out to him is based to some comments he made in a recent Boston 9/11 Zoom presentation’s Q&A, a talk on bullying presented by Fran Shure, and articles he wrote AFTER being kicked out of AE911. Timestamps for the chat lower down.
From Andy’s article:
It’s finally over.
No gold watch. No honors. No well wishes. Nothing but venomous glares from the usual gaggle of corrupted people I’ve been dealing with for years, and the echoes of a metaphorical iron door slamming hard behind me.
And I would have it no other way.
Don’t get me wrong. I needed those fifteen years with AE911Truth, just like every jackass kid in every generation needs a war to enlist in and change him forever… to show him the realities of the world… to remind him of what matters in life and what doesn’t.
Many other volunteers have mentioned how they were compeled to leave the organisation in the past.
Many of them, in comments to my various articles, covering the 9/11 truth organisations.
I need to thank Ryan, Field Interference, for this nugget of a discussion he had 11 years ago, with Sarah & Thomas Corriher, who both volunteered at AE911, and saw a lot of weird things going on, as well as the people working for AE911.
I highly recommend you listen to this discussion too, as it will blow your mind!
It left me totally gobsmacked, that this information has been out for all this time, it melted my brain! (48 minutes)
If you don’t want to listen to the full 48 minutes, at least listen to this 5 min clip.
