In this, the third of our special series commemorating the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we showcase a feature-length interview with writer and journalist Jenna Orkin.
Jenna Orkin is a Resident of New York City and One of the first to question the US Environmental Protection Agency's assertions that the air in Lower Manhattan following the 9/11 attacks was safe to breathe, she went on to co-found the World Trade Center Environmental Organization as well as other Lower Manhattan activist organizations that revealed and testified to the government's lies. Her writing has appeared in Counterpunch as well as Fromthewilderness.com, the newsletter created by 9/11 investigator Michael C Ruppert. Orkin is the author of The Moron's Guide to Global Collapse as well as Scout: A Memoir of Investigative Journalist Michael C. Ruppert, with Against the Dying of the Light.
Over the course of the hour, Orkin recounts her experiences on the day of the attacks, describes some of the toxic content in the World Trade Centre debris, and explains how and why the U.S. EPA deliberately misled New Yorkers, particularly first responders, as to the hazardous conditions they were exposed to in the days following the collapses of the towers. Later on, she comments on her close association and friendship with Michael Ruppert. As she does in her 2014 book, Orkin makes an effort to humanize a man seen by many today as a hero and a giant within the 9/11 Truth movement.
