Hi, Niels, it's great to see you. For those who don't know, and there are some details that most people won't be aware of here. Niels was born in 1945 He served as Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen from 1971 to 2009, and published more than 60 peer-reviewed papers.
Since 2007, he's been actively involved in the global movement for 9.11 Truth. He was a lead author of the scientific paper, as I mentioned before, on thermitic material and industrial collapses of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers. He was also a member of the 9.11 Consensus Panel, which now forms part of the International Center for 9.11 Justice. Over the years, Niels has given some 400 presentations, which is truly remarkable on collapses of the World Trade Center skyscrapers in countries across the world. Since 2020, his activity has been extended to cover the narratives of the so-called COVID-19 pandemic from a scientific perspective.
Niels, it's an honor to have you here. You've been a guiding light for so many in the 9.11 research community, and a source of inspiration just like our friend, Grandma Queen.
Thank you.

Thank you, Ted. Well, we can all point to people who change our lives in a decisive way. And Graham McQueen was such a person. More than most, Graham McQueen has bended the trajectory of many people's lives in a more honest, dedicated, uncompromising, and fearless direction. I was one of them as I got involved in the global 9-11 truth movement after 2006 Graham did many things for everyone to see. Teaching, giving presentations, writing articles and books. But he also worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make things happen. So looking back from today's occasion, you have to appreciate how much of an important force he were in the years, at least until 9, 11 morphed into COVID-19.
But for anyone who had the privilege to meet and know him personally, Graham's impact went beyond the sheer fruits of his acts. Peace activism was not only something he did. For Graham McQueen, peace was a state of mind.
There simply wasn't a single aggressive fiber in that man. He acted on his indignation, communicated the truth, in accordance with his gentle personality, without yelling but never hiding his content and his disdain.
I subscribe to that approach. What you present must, by necessity, be facts from the physical world we share. You address and eventually convince the brain, but you've got to reach the heart and win it over. Graham did that simply by being the man he was.
Now he has left the physical world, but the fight for peace goes on and has taken new dimensions. As I referred to the year 2006 at the time when I woke up, it is not accidental. Many had the same experience. And I believe this is due to the advent of videos on the internet. Suddenly you could see the third skyscraper collapsing on Manhattan. And everybody could review the collapses of the World Trade Center Twin Towers. See how tons of building debris, steel beams and girders were thrown up and out horizontally during the destruction. But gravity is vertical, okay? It's game over. It should have been game over for the official story, according to which the only force acting on the towers at that moment was gravity.
So the official narrative was proven wrong at that moment. The obvious was covered up by the media, as we all know. So the real perpetrators got a clear path for what was called the War on Terror. Although you may wonder how terror can be countered by war. That war was never meant to end. It became wars and they are still ongoing. But they have changed. The War on Terror was launched as an old time war, a matter of bombs, destruction, killing, plundering and theft. This is a territorial, horizontal war. Gradually it turned into a vertical war. A war by the top against the bottom. A war against all of us. Already the passing of the Patriot Act, a month and a half after 9-11, represented a power grab without precedents indicating that the coming 9-11 wars were launched as part of a plan beyond just stealing and controlling the oil of the Middle East. In this symposium in honor of Graham McQueen, it is pathetic irony that one of the major contributions of Graham was his work on the Anthrax Deception, as already has been pointed out previously.
That was a blatant flag attack on society in general, and as we have been told, Capitol Hill in particular, which paved the way for the swift passing of the Patriot Act. It was a prelude to the biological warfare we are confronting today. And I cannot refrain from putting in a footnote here and point out, let us remember, that the precursor to the Patriot Act was drafted by then Senator Joe Biden in the mid-90s.
