The Survival Center will present Michael C. Ruppert’s two-hour video, “The Truth and Lies of 9-11,” at 7 p.m. today in 100 Willamette Hall.
In the video, Ruppert, a former police officer with the Los Angeles Police Department, proposes that the U.S. government had prior knowledge of the Sept. 11 attacks before they occurred.
According to Ruppert, the government received documented warnings from foreign intelligence services before the attacks. In the video, he presents evidence related to stock trades that occurred among airline companies most affected by the attacks, such as American Airlines and United Airlines.
Freshman Matt Hornback said the purpose of the video is to encourage people to think critically about the Sept. 11 attacks and come to their own conclusions.
“So many people were flag-waving after the attacks, and that is the last thing they should be doing,” he said. “People should be questioning what happened.”
After the video, the Survival Center plans to open the floor to audience members to answer questions. Ruppert will not attend the showing.
