9/11 Theorists Adopting Creve Coeur Area MoDOT Highway

The state of Missouri's Adopt-A-Highway program, which has been in operation since 1987 and has served as a way for the private sector to help clean state-maintained roads, is about to allow a group which says it has "questions" about the 9/11 attacks, to "adopt" a stretch of Olive Boulevard.

The story was first reported by KMOX Monday.

A "St. Louis 9-11 Questions" Group which started on meetup.com and holds regular meetings in the area, will adopt the area of Olive Boulevard between Lindbergh and Old Bonhomme in Olivette. Links on the group's website have suggested that the 9/11 Commission report was a 571-page lie, and that the "9//11 Debacle was an INSIDE job."

An organizer for the group, Donald Stahl, told Patch the goal of the sign isn't to change anyone's mind. Instead, he says it lets those who see it who may share questions about what really happened "know that they are not alone."

Stahl, of Spanish Lake, said his interest in the topic began about 8 years ago as he said the information available about the events and people's attitudes started to change. He said at the time, "most people in the 9/11 movement felt like we had to walk on eggs," talking about their questions.

Today, they stand on streetcorners with signs, hold gatherings, and are getting into the Adopt-A-Highway business.

"It's a nice area," Stahl said of the area on Olive, near Monsanto, which he said was already fairly clean but also offered the benefit of visibility without much in the area to distract attention.

A MoDoT spokeswoman has not returned a message seeking comment, but Stahl said the sign has not arrived at the agency's offices and that he expected it would be well into January before it was erected. He said the group is looking forward to scheduling a cleanup once the sign is up.

This would not be the first time MoDOT has faced some degree of controversy over parties interested in adopting a highway. Earlier this year, Time Magazine reported on the efforts of the KKK to adopt highways in Georgia and Missouri.
