Ted Walter of NYCCAN / Building What / Remember Building 7 / Occupy Building 7 was on a truthy radio show talking about those organisations a few days ago.
The mp3 is here: http://www.corbettreport.com/corbett...th-ted-walter/ Funnily, the interviewer didn't press him on where the money they've raised will go. Walter said they'd raised about $100,000 and that a million would make people talk about Building 7. And that was pretty much it. Still no reply from Badillo or anyone on Facebook.

They filed on november 14th - or at least Form 990, which is currently being passed around in private (see here), was signed that day. It's not yet on Guidestar, though. Not sure if and when it will go there. Probably after the IRS handled the form, which might take a fortnight.
Per the end of fiscal year 2010 they list US$ 66,461 as "BUILDING WHAT LIABILITY", and US$ 94,356 (up from 9,385 at the end of 2009) as cash in the balance, so this amount was at least officially accounted for and actually available in cash. |

I just posted this on Remember Building 7's Facebook wall:
You said the advertising campaign would begin in October. It's now December. What's happened to the $80,000 raised so far? "The 10th Anniversary Campaign will use the unprecedented level of attention and burning desire for truth felt across the world to mobilize thousands of people to donate a total of $1 million between Labor Day and September 11th. Remember Building 7 will use that money for an historic nationwide ad campaign in the month of October showing the American people the unmistakable footage of Building 7's demolition and forcing the mainstream media to finally discuss Building 7." - Remember Building 7, 17 August 2011. === |

Wow. I looked at some of the more recent posts at that facebook page, and they are good evidence for Scott Sommers' right-wing / Christian truther claims.

Hey, it's free money. They now have like 4 or 5 different websites (and, apparently, a sex-toy e-commerce site), all linked to each other. If you don't care about honesty or self-respect, it's a good way to make a living, I guess.

You're way off. This latest "tote board" is only a month or so old. Although their fund rising has dropped off (along with their live performances) "truth" has been very good to Gage. Although they have fallen off in the last couple months I fully expect next years total intake to surpass last years $435K. Don't be surprised if Gages' "earnings" this year(2011 tax year) tops $100K.
As for 2012 tax year.

Wow, I just remembered this fiasco.
Still no new updates on the campaign site. The money counter has been showing the same figure since late October. They have, however, returned the campaign banner to AE911Truth site. Earlier it was replaced by an "Occupy building 7" banner, but since that event turned out to be an equally miserable fiasco, they have now replaced it back. And I see Orphia has received no response. Suprise! |

Manny Badillo has been too busy spamming the Australian Skeptics Facebook page to send any updates, it seems. Even there he didn't mention Occupy Building 7 etc.

Poster Clayton Moore added "remember building 7" to his signature at the JREF, so there's some awareness-building activity.

On Remember Building 7's Facebook page they've got quite a few Ron Paul supporters. Yep, people so insane they think he believes in an inside job despite his denying it numerous times.

Whether Paul is or not is very unclear. Don't get me wrong, I do like the guy, but his close relationship with Alex Jones and all his crazies is rather concerning. I've heard a few interviews with him and Alex Jones where Paul mentions the NWO by name several times, and I've seen interviews where people ask him to his face "why don't you come about the truth about 9/11?" and his response is "Because I can't handle the controversy ... I have too many things to deal with".
Hardly the response of a guy who firmly believes the official story. Either he also believes it was an inside job, or he trying desperately to grab the votes of the crazies who do. |

Just a reminder. No updates in six (6) months. It's March 2012 now, this was supposed to be huge (in September 2011 that is). They still have the $80k. Or do they, nobody knows, nobody tells what's happening.

Indeed. I was thinking the same thing yesterday, and posted this on their Facebook wall.

My OP for this thread:
Today from RL McGee on 911Blogger: http://www.911blogger.com/news/2012-...e-full-page-ad "We are thrilled to inform you that the World Premiere Tour of AE911Truth’s new documentary, “9/11: Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out,” is coming to New York this Sunday, June 24. That's approximately $8,250 for the ad. Not quite a "small portion", I don't think. Plus, the ad is just advertising Gage et al. ![]() "Looking ahead, in the next three months the Remember Building 7 team will be deciding on the best way to use the remaining funds raised during the 10th Anniversary. After falling short of the original fundraising target and therefore being unable to execute our original advertising plan, we decided to bide our time and wait for the right opportunities, like the release of “Experts Speak Out.” If you have a creative and concrete suggestion for how to use of the remaining funds, please contact us! Happy now?

I've said it before and will again, Gage is the best thing going in the Truth Movement -- from their opponent's perspective. The only thing he does is to vacuum up as much Truther donation money as possible and flush it down a rathole, accomplishing nothing apart from building an even more efficient money-destroying apparatus. As seen above, he's even consuming money that donors didn't even know would go to support him.

Isn't that the $85,000 that Mike Gravel stole? So he returned the dough?

No, you're thinking of the Citizens 9/11 Commission Campaign, I think, which was formerly led by Mike Gravel.

On AE911Truth's 2010 IRS Form 990 it shows that Gage is/was still holding $69,000 raised by the Building What campaign (of which he was only supposed to keep 5%).
The $85,000 raised by the Remember Building 7 campaign is likely also being held by AE911Truth. As I understand it, Ae911T will be earning interest on all this. |

It's smart. A girl I date works for a huge energy company. When other companies overpay a contract, they hold the balance in their account. They won't spend the overpay, but they don't tell them either. When the company that overpaid catches it, they release the overpay balance. Her company keeps the interest though. We're talking millions sometimes that sits for months.
Can a non profit do that too? Collect interest on money that can't (or doesn't want to) be spent? I bet they set their goals too high just for that reason. Also, since AE911 is just holding the money for these "other" campaigns, do they get a consult fee, %, or something? AE911 looks like a multi-level scam to me. Carnies and Rubes.

Given the proven ethical bankruptcy of AE911Truth on its primary goals - i.e. its continuing support of false claims for CD at WTC on 9/11...
....why would we expect higher ethical standards on "mere" financial scams??? In fact I am probably on shaky ground if I even use the word "ethical" when referring to AE911Lies. So my apologies to those who are offended by my misuse of English language. ![]()
