In addition to so-called chemtrails in the sky, former B.C. premier Bill Vander Zalm has taken an interest in 9/11.

He has endorsed, on video, calls for an independent investigation into the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the U.S., and this is being used to promote a Canada-wide ticketed speaking tour by Richard Gage, the San Francisco–based founder of the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. When sought for an interview, the retired politician called in from California, where he was on vacation.

“The entire story has not been told, I gather,” Vander Zalm told the Straight on March 7.

The ex–Social Credit premier wants to know why a third skyscraper collapsed that September day although it wasn’t hit by the two hijacked airplanes that slammed into the twin towers of New York City’s World Trade Center complex.

“The concern seems to be that third building and how and why it went as it did, and that’s a fair question,” Vander Zalm said.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology, a U.S. federal agency, has concluded that the 47-storey high-rise, known as Building 7, buckled due to fires ignited by debris from Building 1, or the North Tower.

Gage has another opinion, and he’s going to talk about that at the Delta Burnaby Hotel and Conference Centre (4331 Dominion Street, Burnaby) on Friday (March 14), starting at 7:30 p.m. “I have no difficulty with people packing the hall,” Vander Zalm said in support of the event.

Meanwhile, Vander Zalm is still waiting for federal and provincial government documents he has asked for through a freedom-of-information request about cloudlike traces left by airplanes, or “chemtrails”, as they are known to many who suspect that they contain biological agents and other materials.
