9/11 Truth
A collaboration of scientists, architects, and unconvinced politicians banded together to look into the blatant and shady lies that the government has been feeding the public since 9/11. They create videos, have a website, and give lectures that use actual scientifically backed research and unarguable evidence to uncover the "truth" behind the event.
Summary:
The video I watched was a taped lecture given by one of the leading architects, for whom the information given by the government was clearly false and illogical (for someone of his profession). He begins by introducing himself, the organization, their beliefs, and evidence. For two hours, he refutes claims made by the government so convincingly, they become airtight. Instead of flat out calling them wrong, he set up systematic diagram of the scientific method, and said that for the occasion to be staged every statement in the diagram must be proven true beyond a shadow of a doubt. He does this for two diagrams, and provided so much evidence many of the somber members of the audience even began to chuckle. In summary, he concluded by stating the thing that was running through all of our minds, “Something doesn’t add up.”

Analysis:
If you were to refer only to the rhetorical triangle, this organization should have very little chance for convincing and audience. There is no ethos. They are an group of people no one has ever heard of defying the statements of the pentagon, the leading scientists in the world, the president, press, and Congress. Similarly, the pathos is difficult to procure, as people suffering from lost loved ones would hate to think it’s a hoax. The audience is also not meant explicitly to be educated, but alsothe argument methods are meant to appeal to the common man. The power in this lecture lies in statistics, undeniable evidence, quotes, actual footage, and common sense. The speaker’s tone takes the stance of one that simply wishes to provide another side to the argument, and he is careful to never be accusing so as not to alienate his suspicious argument. This method fulfills the purpose of educating the public, and making them aware to information the media was hiding.
