Title: Barack Obama: Shape Shifting Reptilian Overlord or Pure Human?

Is Barack Obama really a shape shifting reptilian humanoid from a far away galaxy bent on the enslavement of the human race? According to David Icke, who claims on his web site that most world leaders come from a line of reptilians originating in the Alpha Draconis, Barack Obama is most likely a blood drinking shape shifter bent on progressing the New World Order. Icke's reptilian theory makes the claim that reptilians plan to control humanity and other civilizations through fear and negative emotion, a food source for the reptilian. Icke believes the reptilians plan for world domination started to unravel with the September 11 attacks on New York and Obama's presidency will lead us into this "New World Order", but is this just mere babbling from a sick mind or does this theory have some legitimacy? Here are signs that the Obama reptilian conspiracy is true.

"Change we need": Has Obama told us all along that he is a changeling/shape shifting reptilian? Think about it, change always happens when a new president enters office, perhaps Obama's corporeal body is crying out to the world that a shape shifting reptilian alien has hijacked his avatar. "Change" might also be a code word for reptilian dictators across the globe that America has elected another shape shifter as president. Even Adolph Hitler claimed to bring change for the German people, but as we know all the only thing the world received from Hitler was millions of lost lives and the genocide of an entire race of people. Whatever this "change" really means it certainly does not bode well for the future of America and even worse for the human race.

The questionable birth certificate: Why would any presidential candidate try so desperately to hide a real birth certificate? Perhaps because reptilian overlords do not receive birth certificates, they congeal out of a pile of goo! The voting public would never vote for a space reptilian and if the plan for world domination ever leaked to the general there would be mass chaos, thus the Republican party could never reveal Obama's true ancestry and the reptilian conspiracy continues.


Poster Comment:

I always thought Obama was just half kaffir and half white trash race traitor. But perhaps he's a David Icke blood-drinking shape-shifting space reptile...

I, for one, welcome our new reptilian overloads. I'll point out to them all my enemies, so they can eat them.

I dont hold that against him.

You have to admit, there are some wacky "theories" out there. They make us look stupid when they start talking about "blue beam" holograms, thermite/thermate (neither are explosives), UFOs, etc. Some are intentional disinfo and others are just plain nuts IMO. In alex jones' case, he's both nuts and a disinfo scumbag.

THe best way is to attack them at the weakest link, and IMO that is bldg. 7. The next weakest link is the pentagon. There are aalso plenty of professionals that agree with us on the towers demolition.

I also remember reading where we went naked as the day he was born, running thru London. I cant find the story though.

I don't know what he is doing. Personally I think there are some that will do all they can to be considered as internet VIPs. If that means making up some wild shit, they'll do it, knowing that there will be a market for it, and people will fawn all over them. It's a personality cult.

He reminds me of the televangelist scammers, in that they know many are onto their scams, but there are enough idiots out there that will make them rich anyway. They don't care about being exposed.

thermite/thermate (neither are explosives)

You saw the structural steel beams in the WTC that were clearly cut (on an angle to facilitate collapse) as if by a gas cutting torch? That''s what the thermite/thermate was likely used for. They make special porcelain molds to hold the thermite in place as it blows through steel box beams like a hot knife through butter. (pix of box beams cut off clean at Ground Zero)

Remember the You Tube video of a can of thermite burning all the way through a car engine block and landing on the ground underneath? Surely you can understand the utility of exothermic cutting charges in a planned demo that was supposed to be the result of something other than a planned collapse.

Photobucket

In the background is a tall beam that has been cut but did not fall. If that was done by breakers after the disaster it would have been pulled down by a crane to avoid injury or death to workers in the area.

I disagree.

Cutting charges are shaped high explosive charges. They cut right thru steel with no problem. Why use thermite when cutting charges have been used for years?

Explosions were heard in the towers and reported on the news.

AFA the pics at the link go, were those cut just before the towers fell or during the cleanup?

In the background is a tall beam that has been cut but did not fall. If that was done by breakers after the disaster it would have been pulled down by a crane to avoid injury or death to workers in the area.

There was a lot of rubble that was a danger to workers. Getting rid of it was a process. WHere in the process was that pic taken?

Here is where relying on pics can be problematic, because there is no context.

It takes a great deal more of an explosive charge to blow a steel beam that it takes thermite/thermate to burn it.

Also, explosives used against hard targets have to be tamped, ("Hey, Chief, how come all of the main support columns have sand bags packed against them and wires running out?",) but exothermics work great with nothing but the form fitting (and low profile) porcelain molds to contain them. Also, thermite can be used to precisely cut a steel beam at an angle so it will slide off the "stump" when cut.

Had all of the the beams been blown there would have been no way to make the official fairie tale stick. (Some explosives were used but the witnesses conveniently died) Numerous seismographs would reveal the lies and even self assured know-it-alls couldn't explain them away.

I wasn't able to verify that. NOt that I'm calling you a liar, because I'm not. But with this topic specifically, I like to check things out for myself.

All I know about explosives I learned thru my own efforts. I never worked with them myself. And there is no way in hell I'd ever make them. Even though the info on how to do it is out there. You just need to be a chemist and have access to nitric acid for many of them, which is hard to come by. SOme even post their explosions on jewtube, the dumbasses.

All I am saying is that this thermite issue is not important, and AFAIK there is no evidence for it. It's a distraction. Cutting charges can do the job very well. They are used all the time.

Oh well. We agree on the basics. IMO that is enough. I dont think we'll ever get the whole story.

Wake Up and Smell the Aluminothermic Nanocomposite Explosives

Excerpt (There are multiple references at the link):

...By early 2009, the residue testing that NIST refused to do had been done by independent researchers, and reported on in a peer-reviewed chemistry journal. Small bi-layered chips, found consistently in dust samples, have layers of red nano-engineered material that is clearly aluminothermic: it has sub-micron-diameter particles of largely of elemental aluminum, and smaller crystalline grains of primarily Fe2O3. On ignition, the chips produce temperatures above the melting point of iron, leaving tiny iron droplets matching the residues of commercial thermite pyrotechnics. ...

Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe

Excerpt:

The conclusion of Active Thermitic Materials Discovered reads, in part:

2. The primary elements (Al, Fe, O, Si, C) are typically all present in particles at the scale of tens to hundreds of nanometers, and detailed XEDS mapping shows intimate mixing.
3. On treatment with methyl-ethyl ketone solvent, some segregation of components was observed. Elemental aluminum became sufficiently concentrated to be clearly identified in the pre-ignition material.
4. Iron oxide appears in faceted grains roughly 100 nm across whereas the aluminum appears in plate-like structures. The small size of the iron oxide particles qualifies the material to be characterized as nano-thermite or super-thermite. Analysis shows that iron and oxygen are present in a ratio consistent with Fe2O3. The red material in all four WTC dust samples was similar in this way. Iron oxide was found in the pre-ignition material whereas elemental iron was not.
5. From the presence of elemental aluminum and iron oxide in the red material, we conclude that it contains the ingredients of thermite.
6. As measured using DSC, the material ignites and reacts vigorously at a temperature of approximately 430ºC, with a rather narrow exotherm, matching fairly closely an independent observation on a known super-thermite sample. The low temperature of ignition and the presence of iron-oxide grains less than 120 nm show that the material is not conventional thermite (which ignites at temperatures above 900ºC) but very likely a form of super-thermite.
7. After igniting several red/gray chips in a differential scanning calorimeter run to 700ºC, we found numerous iron-rich spheres and spheroids in the residue, indicating that a very high-temperature reaction had occurred, since the iron-rich product clearly must have been molten to form these shapes. ...

All I am saying is that this thermite issue is not important, and AFAIK there is no evidence for it. It's a distraction. Cutting charges can do the job very well. They are used all the time.

There's a fundamental contradiction between alleging that explosives were used at the same time thermite was used on the Twin Towers.

Explosives would scatter the thermite if they detonated first, rendering the thermite useless for cutting, and burning thermite would destroy the cutting charges if it ignited first.

Then there are the hundreds of debunkers with real actual experience in science, technology, and construcion, whose hundreds of statements have to be completely dismissed so the words of a handful of fringe players will not have any rebuttals.

911 "Truther" Conspiracies Debunked - Part IV

Never mind all the scientists and engineers who present findings to the contrary, this one paper is all they want to hear about. Thermite was used by the cleanup crews to remove the large metal pieces of the structures that could not be removed as a whole pice. The claim that thermite brought the towers down is not backed-up by survivors, who would have seen thermite burning, as well as the large amount of smoke.

There is a road to 911 through Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, but it goes through Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Southern Afghanistan, then to "Isaeli Art Students" who were closely monitoring Mohammet Atta in the US, and the "Israeli Moving Company" in New Jersey which had 5 employees filming and celebrating the collapses of the buildings when they happened. The latter were put into jail for 70 days afterwards, then quitely released to Israel without any charges ever being filed.

If waterboarding is supposed to be the way to extract information about terror attacks, then every single Israeli on a passport violation in the US in 2001 with any conceivable connections to Israeli military and intelligence, should have been sent to GITMO and waterboarded mercilessly. With Arab, Pakistani and Afghan suspects sharing the same cell block with them.

Cutting charges are shaped high explosive charges. They cut right thru steel with no problem. Why use thermite when cutting charges have been used for years?

Explosive cutting charges and thermite are mutually exclusive. Burning thermite will prevent the cutting charges from going off, and explosing cutting charges will spray and scatter the thermite before it can ignite.

Also various substances alleged to be evicence of naon-thermite - which is never clearly defined - are actually ashes and debris from sources as diverse as incinerated office copy machine toner, paint, carpeting, and furniture.

The physical evidence supports the use of nanothermites

(1) Until the debris and ashes from millions of tons of office products, mixed together violently and mechanically, burnt for weeks, sprayed with water, can be rigorously accounted for, you don't know what you had in the debris pile and where exactly everything came from.

(2) All CT theories totally ignore the tremendous amount of energy - billions of joules - contributed to the collapses by

(A) 500,000 tons of gravitational force,

(B) 2 aircraft weighing nearly 400,000 pounds fully loaded with fuel traveling over 500 mph at impact, and

(C) 23,000 gallons of jet fuel burning.

Why are the massive incontrovertibly known energies contributed by these aircraft collision variables totally ignored, while hypothetically speculated substances that can't even be rigorously defined, are put forth as real causes?

What other forces were there, what was their magnitude, in what directions were they acting, and what is your direct evidence of their existence?

Debunking 911: Noam Chomsky

"...I am not persuaded by the assumption that much documentation and other evidence has been uncovered. To determine that, we'd have to investigate the alleged evidence. Take, say, the physical evidence. There are ways to assess that: submit it to specialists -- of whom there are thousands -- who have the requisite background in civil-mechanical engineering, materials science, building construction, etc., for review and analysis; and one cannot gain the required knowledge by surfing the internet. In fact, that's been done, by the professional association of civil engineers. Or, take the course pursued by anyone who thinks they have made a genuine discovery: submit it to a serious journal [AGA: Not pay to publish, unquoted by other publications like Open Access] for peer review and publication. To my knowledge, there isn't a single submission."

"I think this reaches the heart of the matter. One of the major consequences of the 9/11 movement has been to draw enormous amounts of energy and effort away from activism directed to real and ongoing crimes of state, and their institutional background, crimes that are far more serious than blowing up the WTC would be, if there were any credibility to that thesis. That is, I suspect, why the 9/11 movement is treated far more tolerantly by centers of power than is the norm for serious critical and activist work. How do you personally set priorities? That's of course up to you. I've explained my priorities often, in print as well as elsewhere, but we have to make our own judgments."

"...I don't see any reason to accept the presuppositions. As for the consequences, in one of my first interviews after 9/11 I pointed out the obvious: every power system in the world was going to exploit it for its own interests: the Russians in Chechnya, China against the Uighurs, Israel in the occupied territories,... etc., and states would exploit the opportunity to control their own populations more fully through "prevention of terrorism acts" and the like. By the "who gains" argument, every power system in the world could be assigned responsibility for 9/11."

"I think the Bush administration would have had to be utterly insane to try anything like what is alleged, for their own narrow interests, and do not think that serious evidence has been provided to support claims about actions that would not only be outlandish, for their own interests, but that have no remote historical parallel. The effects, however, are all too clear, namely, what I just mentioned: diverting activism and commitment away from the very serious ongoing crimes of state."

Listen. I'm going to make an attempt to be civil replying to such unfounded remarks, but if you insist on making such flagrantly false statements without a shred of evidence to support them, because of your preconceived agenda found only on the anonymous internet sites, your statements will be seen as nothing more than parroting groupthink brain aberrations.

Stick around long enough and you will eventually lose any 9/11 argument here.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

There's so much debunking of these CT's on just one website, Debunking 911.com, I could spend entire days just cutting, pasting and whacking every CT argument that's ever been posted. From there directly. With quotes from successful people, arguments, sources, exposes of lies and half-truths published on CT sites that distort original messages, etc.

However, as I've posted repeatedly through the years, and Chomsky notes too, the real damage done by the 911 Twoofers is to move opposition from being concerned with substantive issues to fringe circles, where the PTB prefer it to be so they can point at the collective lack of practicality and intelligence of those saying they want change.

So I'm not going to get too consumed with rebutting every CT because people with common sense know they're not right to begin with and it's a waste of time and energy to put a lot of effort into time-traveling into that Alice-in- Wonderland rabbit hole.

But don't try to push me too much on the issue or you'll get rebuttals you can't refute in spades.

I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.

There is a lot of crap put out by "truthers" and our government "leaders". This is why I said I don't think we will ever get the complete truth about what happened that day.

This is a perfect example of why I don't believe anyone, "VIP" or not, that makes allegations. An allegation without proof is probably a lie. That goes for "truthers" and the .gov.

For example, there is this, from your post 18:

Thermite was used by the cleanup crews to remove the large metal pieces of the structures that could not be removed as a whole pice.

That sounds like BS to me. Why use thermite when cutting torches would do the job? Where is the proof that this was done??? He doesn't give it.

Yes, I agree we will never get the truth, unless perhaps people in Washington and Tel Aviv get "waterboarded."

Both Cheney and Netanyahu have stated that 911 was good, Cheney for America and Netanyahu publicly stating in news media that 911 was "good" for Israel, then quickly modifying his statement “Well, not very good, but it will generate immediate sympathy” to cover his tracks.

Cheney clique people were always privy to special intelligence from Israel, in order to give them means to continue subverting the US to do that country's bidding. They also overrode numerous warnings from counter intelligence professionals that "Israeli art students" who were discharged Israeli military starting training to be hand picked by the Mossad as future agents, were systematically casing out secure American military and government sites and reporting how they could be penetrated. They also were busy tracking radical Islamists who had their own agendas in the United States coming out of the Afghan training camps.

Regarding the Afghan and Pakistan training camps, there's no question they existed and they did turn out the suicide bombers they have been alleged to. I happen to have some good connections with former Afghan mujahideen and ever since the late 1980's-1990's, the Afghans who were moderate and pro- Western repeatedly warned the US about the need to do something about these foreigners who the Afghans did not want in their own homeland. Unfortunately the State Department and CIA were totally unconcerned about Afghanistan's future, and allowed a country which had 1.5 million of its civilians killed to devolve into anarchy and civil war.

Abdul Haq, one very prominent mujahideen commander, made a 1994 statement where he said if the United States didn't "clean up its $hit" in Afghanistan, there would be narcotics terrorism and then the US would eventually have to invade, and when that happened the US would be stuck just as the British and the Russians were. Haq's prediction has turned out to be 100% accurate and now instead of spending under $100 million and zero casualties, America is on its way to $1 trillion, 1,000 KIA, 100,000 or more wounded, and a an economy teetering on bankruptcy.

The "Israeli moving company" story about 5-6 Israelis filming the WTC collapse and celebrating, was also reported until Fox News abruptly stopped runnning it. However there is still documenation of some of those Jews arested appearing on Israel TV talk shows. They excuse their behavior by the usual "Jews are victims" bull$hit which is about to get them knocked out of the park by the rest of the world's population which is getting quite tired of Jew self- asserted special privileges.

So the road to NYC on 911 does go through Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, but it also has a route through Washington, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan.

Thermite was used by the cleanup crews to remove the large metal pieces of the structures that could not be removed as a whole pice.

That sounds like BS to me. Why use thermite when cutting torches would do the job? Where is the proof that this was done??? He doesn't give it.

Oh boy, a long laundry list of establishment blow-job credentials.

OK ko00khack, how're your "blow job credentials" for "Professor" Steven Jones, who isn't even acknowledged by his former BYU Physics Department and which relieved him of teaching and put him out to pasture, and can't even show any net yield of useful free energy in any of his claimed "cold fusion" experiments.

Or your "blow job credentials" for jerkwad Niels Harritt, who submitted samples of paint dust 6 years after the Twin Towers collapsed, and waving a bag of the stuff around, claiming it was extremely explosive and flammable.

What the eff was the idiot doing bringing a supposedly explosive and pyrotechnically active substance to one press conference, ignoring all safety precautions that would have been needed, then failing to produce any kind of demonstration showing the goddamn stuff could even be ignited, much less made to explode.

Hmmmm???

So keep your one-liner dismissals of people who have intelligence like Chomsky, to your k00ksites. Because everybody else sees them as cheap shot mental masturbation by a zombie group of losers.

I suppose that you're also one of those that still thinks that a "Harvard education" or an "Ivy League education" means that that person is intelligent too.

Well, there certainly is a lot of competition to get into those institutions, and there is certainly more than a proportional share of publications, patents, and prominent public figures coming out of them.

And FYI the person we were discussing, Noam Chomsky, is a professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which is neither "Harvard" or "Ivy League." It is one of America's premier institutes for science, second only to Cal Tech which has produced so many usesful and workable patents and inventions used in programs like the flight to the moon. That actually effing do what they announce they will do before the rockets take off. And Chomsky is well respected intellectually by his colleagues at MIT, even though he does receive some criticism for his political perspective.

Unlike a BYU CT fruitcake who can't even make a physical device that yields more energy than it consumes after claiming he's discovered cold fusion, or even have his department allow him continue teaching.

Your denigration of successful people is really the root of all CT postulating. You have nothing, you've proved nothing even after 10 years, certain people have exhaustively debunked you after wading through your distortions and half truths word by word, so you simply dismiss anyone who would challenge you as being part of the problem. That's what being a "loser" is in plain English.

Never heard of a cutting torch I take it?

Mind telling me what that metal thingy extending a couple feet from the left corner of the basket is? And what'sgenerating that [shudder] yellowish smoke spiraling up from the basket?

This oughta be interesting....

[quote] Thermite in general makes an ugly hole with molten metal drips/blobs. It doesn't make clean cuts. It's a powder that undergoes a violent chemical reaction...[/quote]

You haven't even read the effing link. That's not a thermite made cut

There are a number of things they claim with this photo.

One is the timeline. They say the photo has firemen which means this was during the rescue operation which only lasted two weeks.

Why would they have fireman after the rescue operations? This suggests to them that the cut on the columns were made very close to September 11. The suggestion here is that it was done during the collapse....They claim that the angle of the cut can't be created by a welding tool and/or is designed to have the building fall in a certain direction.

The other is a yellow substance they claim is residue from a thermite reaction.

Let's examine these claims one by one to see where the evidence takes us...

But is it possible the column was cut at an angle so just the column fell in a certain direction during cleanup? This can't be, surely the scholars would have asked an ironworker or someone else on the scene. I bet there isn't one photograph someone can find on the internet of a column which is cut at an angle. Remember, we're talking about "Scholars" here.

Maybe I'm being a little unfair. Maybe I just happened to get this from some obscure site. Maybe I work for the government and have a stash of photos the scholars aren't privy to... No, actually I got this from the same place the scholars got their photo.

Thermite in general makes an ugly hole with molten metal drips/blobs. It doesn't make clean cuts. It's a powder that undergoes a violent chemical reaction as seen in the video below.

And now a few words about your ***peer-reviewed science sources.***

New Scientist: CRAP Paper Accepted by Journal

At New Scientist we love a good hoax, especially one that both amuses and makes a serious point about the communication of science. So kudos to Philip Davis, a graduate student at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, who revealed yesterday on The Scholarly Kitchen blog that he got a nonsensical computer-generated paper accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Earlier this year, Davis started receiving unsolicited emails from Bentham Science Publishers, which publishes more than 200 "open- access" journals – which turn the conventional business model of academic publishing on its head by charging publication fees to the authors of research papers, and then making the content available for free.

As the emails stacked up, Davis was not only encouraged to submit papers, but was also invited to serve on the editorial board of some of Bentham's journals – for which he was told he would be allowed to publish one free article each year. "I received solicitations for journals for which I had no subject expertise at all," says Davis. "It really painted a picture of vanity publishing."

Sheer nonsense

So Davis teamed up with Kent Anderson, a member of the publishing team at The New England Journal of Medicine, to put Bentham's editorial standards to the test. The pair turned to SCIgen, a program that generates nonsensical computer science papers, and submitted the resulting paper to The Open Information Science Journal, published by Bentham.

The paper, entitled "Deconstructing Access Points" (pdf) made no sense whatsoever, as this sample reveals:

In this section, we discuss existing research into red-black trees, vacuum tubes, and courseware [10]. On a similar note, recent work by Takahashi suggests a methodology for providing robust modalities, but does not offer an implementation [9].

Acronym clue

Davis and Anderson, writing under the noms de plume David Phillips and Andrew Kent, also dropped a hefty hint of the hoax by giving their institutional affiliation as the Center for Research in Applied Phrenology, or CRAP.

Yet four months after the article was submitted, "David Phillips" received an email from Sana Mokarram, Bentham's assistant manager of publication:

This is to inform you that your submitted article has been accepted for publication after peer-reviewing process in TOISCIJ. I would be highly grateful to you if you please fill and sign the attached fee form and covering letter and send them back via email as soon as possible to avoid further delay in publication.

The publication fee was $800, to be sent to a PO Box in the United Arab Emirates. Having made his point, Davis withdrew the paper.

Mahmood Alam, Bentham's director of publications, responded to queries from New Scientist by email: "In this particular case we were aware that the article submitted was a hoax, and we tried to find out the identity of the individual by pretending the article had been accepted for publication when in fact it was not."

"Why hasn't he attempted to contact me directly in order to determine my true identity?" Davis responds.

pwned

But again, it has little to do with my point about blow-job qualifications.

If you can't understand that, well, there really isn't much sense discussing anything with you.

As I've already stated, Chomsky has more academic and intellectual accomplishments than all the CT crowd and all his internet denigrators combined - literally.

So to dismiss him as some kind of intellectual lightweight because he doesn't parrot the groupthink, and instead criticizes it for taking discussions in an unfruitful direction, is false and a cheap shot from masters of cheap shots.

And no, I don't post here to discuss blow jobs or any permutations thereof.

I don't want to take up several pages copying it to here. Those debunkers do a bang up job rebutting the CT pablum.

Creative writing at its best. If you disregard all of the anomalous evidence, discount the eyewitness accounts, invent new laws of physics, create false evidence (e.g., Popular Mechanics use of a reversed image of Building 6 claiming it was building 7), and hold your breath until you turn blue you can prove anything - including how 2 AIRPLANES collapsed 3 BUILDINGS that were designed to withstand the impact of a comparable sized aircraft.

And then the next step is to attack personally anyone who says otherwise.

Virtually everyone of the so-called "debunkers" (actually planted spin) have been resoundingly refuted over and over and over again. However, like a Goat in Heat they keep coming back, and are absoluetely invincible to facts which do not come from an Officially Approved Source™ and do not fit with the Official Conspiracy Theory®. But of course there are sound reasons why the most sophisticated Air Defense system on the planet failed to work in the face of the machiavellian attack of "19ARABSWHOHATEUSCUZWE'REFREE"© and the magic Mad Mullah with his Magick Cellphone hidden deep in his secret mountain fortress in the Tora Bora region of far Pipelinestan.

Looniest Of All 911 Conspiracy Theories
By Gerard Holmgren
1-31-6

Astute observers of history are aware that for every notable event there will usually be at least one, often several wild conspiracy theories which spring up around it. 'The CIA killed Hendrix', 'The Pope had John Lennon murdered', 'Hitler was half Werewolf', 'Space aliens replaced Nixon with a clone' etc, etc. The bigger the event, the more ridiculous and more numerous are the fanciful rantings which circulate in relation to it. So its hardly surprising that the events of September 11th, 2001 have spawned their fair share of these ludicrous fairy tales. And as always, there is - sadly - a small but gullible percentage of the population eager to lap up these tall tales, regardless of facts or rational analysis.

One of the wilder stories circulating about September 11th - and one that has attracted something of a cult following amongst conspiracy buffs - is that it was carried out by nineteen fanatical Arab hijackers, masterminded by an evil genius named Osama bin Laden, with no apparent motivation other than that they 'hate our freedoms.'

Never a group of people to be bothered by facts, the perpetrators of this cartoon fantasy have constructed an elaborately woven web of delusions and unsubstantiated hearsay in order to promote this garbage across the internet and the media to the extent that a number of otherwise rational people have actually fallen under its spell.

Normally I don't even bother debunking this kind of junk, but the effect that this paranoid myth is beginning to have requires a little rational analysis, in order to consign it to the same rubbish bin as all such silly conspiracy theories.

These crackpots even contend that the extremist Bush regime was caught unawares by the attacks, had no hand in organising them, and actually would have stopped them if it had been able. Blindly ignoring the stand down of the US air-force, the insider trading on airline stocks - linked to the CIA - the complicit behavior of Bush on the morning of the attacks, the controlled demolition of the WTC, the firing of a missile into the Pentagon and a host of other documented proofs that the Bush regime was behind the attacks, the conspiracy theorists stick doggedly to a silly story about nineteen Arab hijackers somehow managing to commandeer four planes simultaneously and fly them around US airspace for nearly two hours, crashing them into important buildings, without the US intelligence services having any idea that it was coming, and without the Air Force knowing what to do.

The huge difficulties with such a stupid story force them to invent even more preposturous stories to distract from its core silliness, and thus the tale has escalated into a mythic fantasy of truly gargantuan proportions.

It's difficult to apply rational analysis to such unmitigated stupidity, but that is the task which I take on in this article. However, it should be noted that one of the curious characteristics of conspiracy theorists is that they effortlessly change their so called evidence in response to each aspect which is debunked. As soon as one delusion is unmasked, they simply invent another to replace it, and deny that the first ever existed. Eventually, when they have turned full circle through this endlessly changing fantasy fog, they then re-invent the original delusion and deny that you ever debunked it, thus beginning the circle once more. This technique is known as 'the fruit loop' and saves the conspiracy theorist from ever having to see any of their ideas through to their (il)ogical conclusions.

According to the practitioners of the fruit loop, nineteen Arabs took over four planes by subduing the passengers and crew through the use of guns, knives, box cutters and gas, and then used electronic guidance systems which they had smuggled on board to fly the planes to their targets.

The suspension of disbelief required for this outrageous concoction is only for the hard core conspiracy theorist. For a start, they conveniently skip over the awkward fact that there weren't any Arabs on the planes. If there were, one must speculate that they somehow got on board without being filmed by any of the security cameras and without being registered on the passenger lists. But the curly question of how they are supposed to have got on board is all too mundane for the exciting world of the conspiracy theorist. With vague mumblings that they must have been using false ID - but never specifying which IDs they are alleged to have used, or how these were traced to their real identities - they quickly bypass this problem, to relate exciting and sinister tales about how some of the fictitious fiends were actually searched before boarding because they looked suspicious. However, as inevitably happens with any web of lies, this simply paints them into an even more difficult corner. How are they supposed to have got on board with all that stuff if they were searched ? And if they used gas in a confined space, they would have been affected themselves unless they also had masks in their luggage.

"Excuse me sir, why do you have a boxcutter, a gun, a container of gas, a gas mask and an electronic guidance unit in your luggage?"

"A present for your grandmother? Very well sir, on you get."

"Very strange", thinks the security officer, "that's the fourth Arabic man without an Arabic name who just got on board with a knife, gun or boxcutter and gas mask...and why does that security camera keep flicking off every time one these characters shows up? Must be one of those days I guess..."

Asking any of these basic questions to a conspiracy theorist is likely to cause a sudden leap to the claim that we know that they were on board because they left a credit card trail for the tickets they had purchased and cars they had rented. So if they used credit cards that identified them, how does that reconcile with the claim that they used false IDs to get on to the plane? But by this time , the fruit loop is in full swing, as the conspiracy theorist tries to stay one jump ahead of this annoying and awkward rational analysis. They will allege that the hijackers' passports were found at the crash scenes. "So there!" they exalt triumphantly, their fanatical faces lighting up with that deranged look of one who has just a revelation of questionable sanity.

Hmm? So they got on board with false IDs but took their real passports with them? However, by this time the fruit loop has been completely circumnavigated,and the conspiracy theorist exclaims impatiently, "who said anything about false IDs? We know what seats they were sitting in! Their presence is well documented!" And so the whole loop starts again. "Well, why aren't they on the passenger lists?" "You numbskull! They assumed the identities of other passengers!" And so on...

Finally, out of sheer fascination with this circular method of creative delusion, the rational sceptic will allow them to get away with this loop, in order to move on to the next question, and see what further delights await us in the unraveling of this marvelously stupid story.

"Uh, how come their passports survived fiery crashes that completely incinerated the planes and all the passengers? "The answer of course is that its just one of those strange coincidences, those little quirks of fate that do happen from time to time. You know, like the same person winning the lottery four weeks in a row. The odds are astronomical, but these things do happen.

This is another favourite deductive method of the conspiracy theorist. The 'improbability drive', in which they decide upon a conclusion without any evidence whatsoever to support it, and then continually speculate a series of wildly improbable events and unbelievable co-incidences to support it, shrugging off the implausibility of each event with the vague assertion that sometimes the impossible happens - just about all the time in their world. There is a principle called 'Occam's razor' which suggests that in the absence of evidence to the contrary, the simplest explanation is most likely to be correct. Conspiracy theorists hate Occam's razor.

Having for the sake of amusement, allowed them to get away with with the silly story of the nineteen invisible Arabs, we move on to the question of how they are supposed to have taken over the planes.

Hijacking a plane is not an easy thing to do. Hijacking it without the pilot being able to alert ground control is near impossible. The pilot has only to punch in a four digit code to alert ground control to a hijacking. Unconcerned with the awkward question of plausibility, the conspiracy buffs maintain that on that September 11th, the invisible hijackers took over the plane by the rather crude method of threatening people with boxcutters and knives, and spraying gas - after they had attached their masks, obviously - but somehow took control of the plane without the crew first getting a chance to punch in the hijacking code. Not just on one plane, but on all four. At this point in the tale, the conspiracy theorist is again forced to call upon the services of the improbability drive.

So now that our incredibly lucky hijackers have taken control of the planes, all four pilots fly them with breath taking skill and certainty to their fiery end, all four pilots unflinching in their steely resolve for a swift meeting with Allah. Apart from their psychotic hatred of 'our freedoms', it was their fanatical devotion to Islam which enabled them to summon up the iron will to do this. Which is strange, because according to another piece of hearsay peddled by the conspiracy buffs, these guys actually went out drinking and womanizing the night before their great martyrdom, even leaving their Korans in the bar - really impeccable Islamic behavior - and then got up at 5 o'clock the next morning to pull off the greatest covert operation in history. This also requires us to believe that they were even clear headed enough to learn how to fly the huge planes by reading flight manuals in Arabic in the car on the way to the airport. We know this because they supposedly left the flight manuals there for us to find.

It gets better. Their practical training had allegedly been limited to Cessnas and flight simulators, but this was no barrier to the unflinching certainty with which they took over the planes and skillfully guided them to their doom. If they are supposed to have done their flight training with these tools, which would be available just about anywhere in the world, its not clear why they would have decided to risk blowing their cover to US intelligence services by doing the training in Florida, rather than somewhere in the Middle East, but such reasoning is foreign to the foggy world of the conspiracy theorist, too trapped in the constant rotation of the mental fruit loop to make their unsubstantiated fabrications seem even semi-believable.

Having triumphantly established a circular delusion in support of the mythical Arabs, the conspiracy theorist now confronts the difficult question of why there's nothing left of the planes. Anybody who has seen the endlessly replayed footage of the second plane going into the WTC will realize that the plane was packed with explosives. Planes do not and cannot blow up into nothing in that manner when they crash.

Did the mythical Arabs also haul a huge heap of explosives on board, and mange to deploy them in such a manner that they went off in the exact instant of the crash, completely vapourizing the plane? This is a little difficult even for the conspiracy theorist, who at this point decides that its easier to invent new laws of physics in order to keep the delusion rolling along.

There weren't any explosives. It wasn't an inside job. The plane blew up into nothing from its exploding fuel load! Remarkable, quite remarkable. Sluggishly combustible jet fuel which is basically Kerosene, and which burns at a maximum temperature of around 800 degrees Celcius has suddenly taken on the qualities of a ferociously explosive demolition agent, vapourising sixty-five tons of aircraft into a puff of smoke. Never mind that a plane of that size contains around fifteen tons of steel and titanium, of which even the melting points are about double that of the maximum combustion temperature of Kerosene - let alone the boiling point - which is what would be required to vapourise a plane. And then there's about fifty tons of aluminium to be accounted for. In excess of 15lbs of metal for each gallon of Kerosene.

For the conspiracy theorist, such inconvenient facts are vaguely dismissed as 'mumbo jumbo'. This convenient little phrase is their answer to just about anything factual or logical. Like a conjurer pulling a rabbit out of a hat, they suddenly become fanatically insistent about the devastating explosive qualities of Kerosene, something hitherto completely unknown to science, but just discovered by them, this very minute. Blissfully ignoring the fact that never before or since in aviation history has a plane vapourised into nothing from an exploding fuel load, the conspiracy theorist relies upon Hollywood images, where the effects are are always larger than life, and certainly larger than the intellects of these cretins.

"Its a well known fact that planes blow up into nothing on impact", they state with pompous certainty, "watch any Bruce Willis movie."

"Care to provide any documented examples? If it's a well known fact, then presumably this well known fact springs from some kind of documentation - other than Bruce Willis movies?"

At this point the mad but cunning eyes of the conspiracy theorist will narrow as they sense the corner that they have backed themselves into, and plan their escape by means of another stunning backflip.

"Ah, but planes have never crashed into buildings before, so there's no way of telling." they counter with a sly grin. Well, actually planes have crashed into buildings before and since, and not vapourised into nothing. "But not big planes, with that much fuel", they shriek in hysterical denial. Or that much metal to vapourise.

"Yes but not hijacked planes!" "Are you suggesting that whether the crash is deliberate or accidental affects the combustion qualities of the fuel?" "Now you're just being silly".

Although collisions with buildings are rare, planes frequently crash into mountains, streets, other aircraft, nosedive into the ground, or have bombs planted aboard them, and don't vapourise into nothing. What's so special about a tower that's mostly glass? But by now, the conspiracy theorist has once again sailed happily around the fruit loop. "It's a well documented fact that planes explode into nothing on impact."

Effortlessly weaving back and forth between the position that its a "well known fact" and that "its never happened before, so we have nothing to compare it to", the conspiracy theorist has now convinced themselves - if not too many other people - that the WTC plane was not loaded with explosives, and that the instant vapourisation of the plane in a massive fireball was the same as any other plane crash you might care to mention. Round and round the fruit loop.

But the hurdles which confront the conspiracy theorist are many, and they are now forced to implement even more creative uses for the newly discovered shockingly destructive qualities of Kerosene. They have to explain how the Arabs also engineered the elegant veritcal collapse of both the WTC towers, and for this awkward fact the easiest counter is to simply deny that it was a controlled demolition, and claim that the buildings collapsed from fire caused by the burning Kerosene.

For this, its necessary to sweep aside the second law of thermodynamics and propose Kerosene which is not only impossibly destructive, but also recycles itself for a second burning in violation of the law of degradation of energy. You see, it not only consumed itself in a sudden catastrophic fireball , vapourising a sixty-five ton plane into nothing, but then came back for a second go, burning at 2000 degrees centigrade for another hour at the impact point, melting the skyscraper's steel like butter. And while it was doing all this it also poured down the elevator shafts, starting fires all through the building. When I was at school there was a little thing called the entropy law which suggests that a given portion of fuel can only burn once, something which is readily observable in the real world, even for those who didn't make it to junior high school science. But this is no problem for the conspiracy theorist. Gleefully, they claim that a few thousand gallons of Kerosene is enough to:

- Completely vapourise a sixty-five ton aircraft

- Have enough left over to burn ferociously enough for over an hour at the impact point to melt steel - melting point about double the maximum combustion temperature of the fuel

- Still have enough left over to pour down the elevator shafts and start similarly destructive fires all through the building

This Kerosene really is remarkable stuff! How chilling to realize that those Kerosene heaters we had in the house when I was a kid were deadly bombs, just waiting to go off. One false move and the entire street might have been vapourised. And never again will I take Kerosene lamps out camping. One moment you're there innocently holding the lamp - the next - kapow! Vapourised into nothing along with with the rest of the camp site, and still leaving enough of the deadly stuff to start a massive forest fire.

These whackos are actually claiming that the raging inferno allegedly created by the miraculously recycling, and impossibly hot burning Kerosene melted or at least softened the steel supports of the skyscraper. Oblivious to the fact that the black smoke coming from the WTC indicates an oxygen starved fire - therefore not particularly hot - they trumpet an alleged temperature in the building of 2000 degrees centigrade, without a shred of evidence to support this curious suspension of the laws of physics.

Not content with this ludicrous garbage, they then contend that as the steel frames softened, they came straight down instead of buckling and twisting and falling sideways.

Since they're already re-engineered the combustion qualities of jet fuel, violated the second law of thermodynamics, and redefined the structural properties of steel, why let a little thing like the laws of gravity get in the way?

The tower fell in a time almost identical to that of a free falling object, dropped from that height, meaning that its physically impossible for it to have collapsed by the method of the top floors smashing through the lower floors. But according to the conspiracy theorists, the laws of gravity were temporarily suspended on the morning of September 11th. It appears that the evil psychic power of those dreadful Arabs knew no bounds. Even after they were dead, they were able, by the power of their evil spirits, to force down the tower at a speed physically impossible under the laws of gravity, had it been meeting any resistance from fireproofed steel structures originally designed to resist many tons of hurricane force wind as well as the impact of a Boeing passenger jet straying off course.

Clearly, these conspiracy nuts never did their science homework at school, but did become extremely adept at inventing tall tales for why. "Muslim terrorists stole my notes,Sir." "No Miss, the Kerosene heater blew up and vapourised everything in the street, except for my passport." "You see Sir, the schoolbus was hijacked by Arabs who destroyed my homework because they hate our freedoms."

Or perhaps they misunderstood the term 'creative science' and mistakenly thought that coming up with such rubbish was in fact, their science homework.

The ferocious heat generated by this ghastly Kerosene was, according to the conspiracy theorists, the reason why so many of the WTC victims can't be identified. DNA is destroyed by heat - although 2000 degrees centigrade isn't really required, 100 degrees centigrade will generally do the job. This is quite remarkable, because according to the conspiracy theorist, the nature of DNA suddenly changes if you go to a different city.

That's right, if you are killed by an Arab terrorist in New York, your DNA will be destroyed by such temperatures. But if you are killed by an Arab terrorist in Washington, your DNA will be so robust that it can survive temperatures which completely vapourise a sixty-five ton aircraft.

You see, these loonies have somehow concocted the idea that the missile which hit the pentagon was not a missile at all, but one of the hijacked planes. And to prove this unlikely premise, they point to a propaganda statement from the Bush regime, which rather stupidly claims that all but one of the people aboard the plane were identified from the site by DNA testing, even though nothing remains of the plane. The plane was vapourised by the fuel tank explosion, maintain these space loonies, but the people inside it were all but one identified by DNA testing.

So there we have it. The qualities of DNA are different, depending upon which city you're in, or perhaps depending upon which fairy story you're trying to sell at any particular time.

This concoction about one of the hijacked planes hitting the Pentagon really is a howler. For those not familiar with the layout of the Pentagon, it consists of 5 rings of building, each with a space inbetween. Each ring of building is about 30-35 feet deep, with a similar amount of open space between it and the next ring. The object which penetrated the Pentagon went in at about a 45 degree angle, punching a neat circular hole of about a 12 foot diameter through three rings - six walls. A little later a section of wall about 65 foot wide collapsed in the outer ring. Since the plane which the conspiracy theorists claim to be responsible for the impact had a wing span of 125 feet and a length of 155 feet, and there was no wreckage of the plane, either inside or outside the building, and the lawns outside were still smooth and green enough to play golf on, this crazy delusion is clearly physically impossible.

But hey, we've already disregarded the combustion qualities of jet fuel, the normal properties of common building materials, the properties of DNA, the laws of gravity and the second law of thermodynamics, so what the hell - why not throw in a little spatial impossibility as well? I would have thought that the observation that a solid object cannot pass through another solid object without leaving a hole at least as big as itself is reasonably sound science. But to the conspiracy theorist, this is 'mumbo jumbo'. It conflicts with the delusion that they're hooked on, so it 'must be wrong' although trying to get them to explain exactly how it could be wrong is a futile endeavour.

Conspiracy theorists fly into a curious panic whenever the Pentagon missile is mentioned. They nervously maintain that the plane was vapourised by it's exploding fuel load, and point to the WTC crash as evidence of this behavior. That's a wonderful fruit loop. Like an insect which has just been sprayed, running back and forth in its last mad death throes, they first argue that the reason the hole is so small is that the plane never entered the wall, having blown up outside, and then suddenly backflip to explain the 250 foot deep missile hole by saying that the plane disappeared all the way into the building, and then blew up inside the building - even though the building shows no sign of such damage. As for what happened to the wings - here's where they get really creative. The wings snapped off and folded into the fuselage which then carried them into the building, which then closed up behind the plane like a piece of meat.

When it suits them, they'll also claim that the plane slid in on its belly - ignoring the undamaged lawn - while at the same time citing alleged witnesses to the plane diving steeply into the building from an 'irrecoverable angle.' How they reconcile these two scenarios as being compatible is truly a study in stupidity.

Once they get desperate enough, you can be sure that the UFO conspiracy stuff will make an appearance. The Arabs are in league with the Martians. Space aliens snatched the remains of the Pentagon plane and fixed most of the hole in the wall, just to confuse people. They gave the Arabs invisibility pills to help get them onto the planes. Little green men were seen talking to Bin Laden a few weeks prior to the attacks.

As America gears up to impeach the traitor Bush, and stop his perpetual oil war, it's not helpful to have these idiots distracting from the process by spreading silly conspiracy theories about mythical Arabs, stories which do nothing but play into the hands of the extremist Bush regime.

At a less serious time, we might tolerate such crackpots with amused detachment, but they need to understand that the treachery that was perpetrated on September 11th, and the subsequent war crimes committed in 'retaliation' are far too serious for us to allow such frivolous self indulgence to go unchallenged.

Those who are truly addicted to conspiracy delusions should find a more appropriate outlet for their paranoia.

Its time to stop loony conspiracy theories about September 11th.

So you think that citing a list of blow-job academic and "within the system" credentials is research," much less independent research, much less any research that means a shit?

You think the people who constructed the WTC, who sent men to the moon, who developed the ICBM program, who put together the Interstate Freeway system that spans the country, are self-taught internet rubes patting each other on the back in chatrooms?

There are millions of patents in this country. For things that actually work as claimed. And most of the patent holders come from American educational institutions where they have been recognized for their intelligence and accomplishments.

Spam: The #2 CT Weapon second only to #1, hyperbole, personal invectives and insults.

Got a specific point to make? Without huffing and puffing and looking over your shoulder for some attaboys from people with even less research skills than you?

Debunking 911: WTC 7

Conspiracy theorists say World Trade Center 7 is the best proof for controlled demolition because it wasn't hit by airliners and only had a few fires. They also claim that there was a confession from the building owner who said he "pulled" it. But this is deceptive because while building 7 wasn't hit by an airliner, it was hit by the large perimeter columns of the Tower collapse. It was 400 ft away but the towers were more than 1300 ft tall. As the tower peeled open, it easily tilted over to reach building 7. Below is evidence showing that conspiracy theorists are wrong.

As you can see from the graphic below, all the buildings just as far away from both towers as WTC7 were hit. The others were either very short buildings which didn't have to support a massive load above or had no fire. Only Building 7 had unfought fires and the massive load of 40 stories above them.

Now tell me about CT Niels Harritt. In his interviews says he doesn't know how nanothermite was made, but he just knows it's nanothermite. He says nanothermite is both an explosive and a pyrotechnic. A complete bull$hit statement that anybody who has worked with either can state. Harritt says there could be anywhere from 10 tons to 100 tons - off by an order of magnitude. He says "they" brought it in on pallets. He says you have to ask the security how it got wired up. He leave unsaid how the precisely timed sequences of explosions - which all happen after the floors already start falling - get detonated. More questions than answers. And this is supposed to be your champion.

[quote] Thermite in general makes an ugly hole with molten metal drips/blobs. It doesn't make clean cuts. It's a powder that undergoes a violent chemical reaction...[/quote]

Nanonthermites, a fairly recent and very advanced iteration of an old product, is a different fettle of kish. It has both heat generating and explosive properties based upon how it is applied and/or ignited. Attempting to refute the physical evidence by using a Strawman i.e., the reaction of standard relatively low energy thermite is a comparison of a unlike items - sort of like trying to claim a Pony is a Clydesdale.

One can look at the sharp angular cut of the beam, along with the telltale slag from having reached a molten state and know that the beam was sliced intentionally in some fashion. A paper fire does not do that, nor burning office furnishings, Jet fuel, or any of the other proposed mechanisms. The best the debunkers can come up with is the assertion that someone might have cut it after the fact while providing no sound rationale for cutting it at a steep angle. An after the fact debris removal crew, if they found it necessary to cut, would not intentionally make the longest possible cut to clear debris.

I could literally waste hours going through point by tedious point, or I could sum it all up by simply inviting people to look at the mountains of available evidence, the contradictions in the Official Conspiracy Theory™, and compare them to the observed events and phenomena. One can only accept the Official Conspiracy Theory™ by disregarding lab analyses, the fact that the chairman of the 911 Commission has himself publicly said that government agencies lied to the Commission, along with literally hundreds of other datums that are in direct contradiction to the Official Conspiracy Theory™.

While I don't claim to know all the details and names there is one thing I can say with certainty and that is that the Official Conspiracy Theory™ of "19Arabswhohateuscuzwe'refree" directed by a madman (a CIA employee no less) in a cave in a remote mountain comes nowhere near accounting for the observed events, phenomena, and contradictory data.

Here is is again. From the same place the Truthers got their photos, but conveniently ignored.

He's just lit the oxy-acetylene flame and is adjusting it.

They make angular cuts to make sure the remaining part of the building fall where they can be cleaned up easily.

The Chinese sure know how to build, don't they? It burned a lot hotter and a lot longer than 7 did. It didn't fall.

All the WTC buildings had designs intended to maximize rental space by using the exterior walls - including novel tube load bearing designs - for greater amounts of load bearing than conventional buildings which use more interior columns.

Also WTC 7 exterior was severely bashed by falling beams from the Twin Towers that aren't shown in the CT videos, and had uncontrolled fires burning for hours fed by 43,000 gallons of diesel intended for the uninterrupted power supply which had its own pump continually feeding these fires.

Finally the east part of the WTC (not shown in CT videos, shown on my links) collapsed 8 seconds before the West and by shifting the remaining load to the West during the collapse made the entire building collapse inevitable.

Debunking 911: First Time in History (Steel Structure Collasping)

Conspiracy Theorists bring up the fact that the towers were the first steel high rises to fall from fire in history. The fact is the towers had other firsts that day they never seem to include.

There were a lot of firsts for the WTC. In all the history of high-rise fires, not one has ever been hit with a plane traveling 500 miles an hour and had its fire proofing removed from its trusses. In all the history of high-rise fires, not one has ever had its steel columns which hold lateral load sheared off by a 767.

In all the history of high-rise fires, not one has ever been a building which had its vertical load bearing columns in its core removed by an airliner. For Building 7, in all the history of high-rise fires, not one has ever been left for 6-7 hours with its bottom floors on fire with structural damage from another building collapse. Not the Madrid/Windsor tower did not have almost 40 stories of load on its supports after being hit by another building which left a 20 story gash.

The Madrid tower lost portions of its steel frame from the fire. Windsor's central core was steel reinforced concrete. In all the history of high-rise fires, not one has ever been without some fire fighters fighting the fires.

I could go on with the "Firsts" but you get the drift. The statement that the WTC buildings were the first high-rise buildings to collapse from fire is deceptive because it purposely doesn't take those factors into account.

so you believe that one too, eh? :-) your wordy defense of the so-called establishment is not going to convince anyone. because people closer to inelligence agencies & the halls of government than you'd dream of being have come out & said it was an inside job. so your list of 'credentialed experts' can work both ways.Also, your use of God's name in vain in an internet squabble reveals much that you are lacking. you wrote 'You have nothing'; but more appropriate is the Scripture 'Without Me, you can do nothing' (John 15:5)

Some of them are in the public record.

I repeat: Some of them are in the public record.

For example the Head of West German Intelligence.

The problem with using any "debunker" website is that they have an agenda other than the truth. They will NEVER publish or post anything which damages their debunking case. This is in contrast with most of the 911 Truth sites (the legitimate ones not government PsyOp sites) who will publish and/or post anything which is relevant. That also applies to any flavor of so-called "skeptic" and/or debunker websites. Invariably you can count on them to twist and misrepresent facts, and the so-called debunkers have repeatedly been proven wrong, if not outright frauds using false information such as Popular Mechanics. Another favorite is "Snopes" which was outed as being just two people, no research capabilities beyond standard search techniques, and wrong. Because a website pushes the "Official Truth™" does not mean it is THE truth. If you hadn't noticed the government frequently lies and has a large disinformation presence on the 'net.

Hyperbole and invective, the standard opening k00kresponse to an alternate reality 99% of the rest of the world's population finds believable. What a surprise < /sarc>...

Some of them are in the public record.

More unsubstantiated assertions with zero proof produced to support them.

Then there's the question of how our lucky poster just happens to personally receive this privileged informaiton.

You do know there are zillions of pictures of the moon rocket taking off, with astronauts in the cabin, a constantly updated log of activities and pictures to support them, an exit from the atmosphere, photos of the earth from outer space, etc. etc.

Just where exactly did that rocket and its occupants go, then? Did it make a quick right turn and land somewhere in the Pacific once it was out of view of TV cameras?

What about the return. Where did that item recovered in the middle of the ocean with astronauts inside come from? And on the date it was broadcast.

The capacity of CT's to disbelieve any and all evidence they don't wish to consider is truly amazing. Especially when they arm-wave without any specific citing of facts and numbers, while claiming to be upholding science.

The invincibly ignorant who have concluded, upon no good evidence, that it is impossible for it to have been a planned and intended event. It conflicts with their world view of Government Worship, and/or they have swallowed the PsyOps/PR hook, line, and sinker.

Your image is missing the support columns, and gives the impression the WTC towers were "floating" the floors with no support at all.

Here are some images of one of the towers as it was being built...

Here's some info on the construction if you're interested.

Yeah right, another snot-nosed opening CT remark, true to form.

No, they were talking about ***pulling*** the firefighters back from the building so they would not die in its impending collapse, like the ones in the Twin Towers already had.

However it is the CT's who claim that ***pull*** means ***explode*** instead of "pull back" or "withdraw."

And within the building demolition industry, "pull" does not mean "explode," it means "pull down."

So we have a word "pull" in k00kspeak being completely separated from normal English syntax and diction.

I'm not saying it was or wasn't meant to imply "pull with explosives". I was simply saying "pulling it with cables" is quite insane, since it would have been impossible to do so.

Apparently, the "pull it" statement from Silverstein is a clever disinfo tactic meant to muddy the waters and lead people astray.

Whether he said it or not makes no difference, and doesn't change the events or how they occured.

Other than direction, no substantial difference between the two. The WTC towers had a unique design with little or no lattice work between the core columns and the exterior tubes which carried a substantial amount of the weight in a unique tube design.

One other thing your diagram is wrong about is the fact that it shows the core as a linear shape, where it was MUCH thicker at the bottom than at the top, and was in fact tapered from it's largest section at the bottom gradually upwards towards the top section of the tower.

The Twin Tower floors were supported by trusses, which were suspended between the load bearing center core and the load bearing exterior walls, with little or no suporting columns in between.

Do some research from reputable sources. Then look at picture of entire one- acre floors with almost no barriers between the core of the building and its exterior walls.

So what? The core column disintegrated into dust, which should be virtually impossible. That, and the exterior walls ALSO fell apart as if they were made of matchsticks.

Those buildings were NOT some flimsy Lego structure, they withstood high winds for decades, AND one of them had a severe office fire years earlier which lasted for HOURS, yet had no issues with structural integrity.

The fuel from the airplanes was consummed in the first few minutes after impact, and MOST of it was expended OUTSIDE in huge balls of flame. THAT is stated in the NIST report, and/or the FEMA report.

So no, the buildings did not fall because the "steel got too hot", as most of the heat was wicked away by the rest of the building which acted like a huge heatsink.

The 3-level lattice works to the far left, beneath the crane, and the far right, mostly obscured, are not parts of the building.

They are exterior scaffolding.

There is additional exterior scaffolding, and crane framework, around the center core under construction.

When finished, the center core was smaller than the photo shows because the scaffolding and the crane framework was removed.

Those buildings were NOT some flimsy Lego structure, they withstood high winds for decades, AND one of them had a severe office fire years earlier which lasted for HOURS, yet had no issues with structural integrity.

The buildings did not withstand 500 knot impacts with anything, shearing off of fire proofing, destruction of load-bearing center columns, and the ignition of tens of thousands of jet fuel, all at the same time. These factors combined to contribute billions of joules of energy that had to be dissipated somewhere, somehow.

And that massiive distribution of energy reverberated throughout the buildings and started shaking things loose, causing eventual collapses.

Eventually, inside the walls of the load-bearing center columns, exactly where the architects and engineers said they should be.

Imagin that. More dead space in the center, meaning more load shifted to the exterior walls with their unique "tube in a tube" design different from conventional lattice work.

Hope that helps.

The towers DID sway to some extent when they were impacted. They did NOT tumble down as soon as they were hit, and THAT would have been the ONLY way for them to fall if "that's where the energy went".

BILLIONS of Joules? LOL, show me some calculations that can demonstrate that amount of energy was truly there.

Oh, and you are flat out wrong on the impact speed. You stated 500 knots, which equates to 575 mph. The NIST report states 443 mph for WTC 2, and 546 mph for WTC1.

And then in October 2004 he returned back from the dead to

(1) Make a TV interview upbraiding Bush for lying to the American people,
(2) Tell the American people the US military industrial complex is not acting in their best interests,
(3) Condemn the American relationship with Israel and cite that as the main reason for the 911 attacks, and
(4) Explicitly express his expectation and hope that ongoing American warfare against the Islamic world would eventually bankrupt the United States the same way Afghanistan bankrupted the Soviet Uniton.
And not even his followers call him a holy man or a prophet.

The above numbers are are correct. However given that kinetic energy from crashes depends on velocity squared, the energy rekleased from the crashes was still billions of joules: "Gigajoules"

Energy Transfer in the WTC Collapse

All energy values are quoted as averages of each aircraft impact and each tower collapse and are expressed in Gigajoules = 10*9 J

Energy Transfer in the WTC Collapse

Hey brilliant one, that link talks about the COLLAPSE energy, not the IMPACT energy.

One major mistake the author makes in his analysis is that much of the MASS of the WTC towers was lost LATERALLY in the dust clouds that were ejected, thus his calcuations concerning momentum are flat out bogus.

that link talks about the COLLAPSE energy,

Arm-waving. The impacts had to have enough energy to initiate the collapses.

I'm curious. How does it feel to be dead-ass wrong almost every single time you open your mouth or hit the "post" key. With the exception of the impact speeds.

B-25 Empire State Building Collision (Compared to Boeing 767 WTC)

The twin towers of the World Trade Center, by comparison, were struck by Boeing 767 airliners traveling over twice as fast and weighing nearly 15 times as much as a B-25. The energy of impact for the two planes ranged from 2 billion ft-lb (2.6 billion Joules) to 3 billion ft-lb (4.1 billion Joules), some 60 to 100 times greater than that absorbed by the Empire State Building.

This estimate is also conservative

since it does not account for the energy released by the exploding jet fuel, which greatly exceeded the energy released by the much smaller B-25 fuel supply as well. The greater kinetic energy allowed the 767 aircraft to penetrate much further into the twin towers than the B-25 was able to do at the Empire State Building.

Most of the B-25 impact was absorbed by the building's exterior wall leaving very little to damage the interior structure. The 767 impacts, however, not only produced gaping holes in the WTC exterior but also destroyed much of the structural core at the center of each tower.

The above numbers are are correct. However given that kinetic energy from crashes depends on velocity squared, the energy rekleased from the crashes was still billions of joules: "Gigajoules"

Since you can't show the calculations yourself, let me help.

First off the maximum takeoff weight for a 767-200 is 315,000 lbs. The planes were NOT carrying maximum fuel as they were on a continental flight vs a transoceanic or intercontinental flight. But we'll work with the maximum figure anyways.

Here's the equation;

E = 1/2 mv2, where E = energy (joules), m = mass (kilograms), and v = velocity (meters/second)

Converting pounds to kilograms, the max weight of the aircraft is as follows;

1 pound = 0.45359237 kilograms

315,000 lbs. = 14,881.6 kg [Edit: I inadvertantly copied the result wrong, it's off by a factor of 10, so the actual value should be 148,816 kg - FL]

Now for velocity, we'll convert mph to meters per second.

1 mph = 0.44704 meters per second

For the fastest plane, the velocity specified in the NIST reports was 546 mph.

546 mph = 244.1 meters per second

Plugging the values into the formula we have this...

(14,881.6 kg * (244.1 m/s)2)/2 = 443,358,664 joules, or 443.4 MEGA Joules.

[Edit: 4.434 GIGA Joules- FL]

That's a THOUSAND [Edit: ok, so I was off - FL] times less energy than you claim.

And that's with the HIGHEST values for weight and speed, where the actual weight was less.

And that massiive distribution of energy reverberated throughout the buildings and started shaking things loose, causing eventual collapses.

You got to be one of the dumbest Israeli boot lickers of all time.

The buildings were designed to withstand jet planes hitting them. They were designed to sway in strong winds. The impact didn't cause the building to sway any more than a windy day would. The wind never shook things loose and caused it to collapse in all the years it was standing. The 1975 fire in the North tower, which was much longer and hotter than those of 9/11, didn't melt the steel starting a collapse. Go ask your uncle izzie if he will help you with this one. LOL!

So you ignore the 1222 DEGREED

Oh goodie, they have degrees.

Where's their report? With facts, interviews, tables, and conclusions.

And what does asking for an independent investigation have to do with saying something is totally false, hmm? Which they do not say at all.

Twenty-Five Ways To Suppress Truth: The Rules of Disinformation

Oh goodie, they have degrees.

9. Play Dumb. No matter what evidence or logical argument is offered, avoid discussing issues except with denials they have any credibility, make any sense, provide any proof, contain or make a point, have logic, or support a conclusion. Mix well for maximum effect.

Where's their report? With facts, interviews, tables, and conclusions.

14. Demand complete solutions. Avoid the issues by requiring opponents to solve the crime at hand completely, a ploy which works best with issues qualifying for rule 10.

Example: 'Since you know so much, if James Earl Ray is as innocent as you claim, who really killed Martin Luther King, how was it planned and executed, how did they frame Ray and fool the FBI, and why?'

And what does asking for an independent investigation have to do with saying something is totally false, hmm? Which they do not say at all.

9. Play Dumb. No matter what evidence or logical argument is offered, avoid discussing issues except with denials they have any credibility, make any sense, provide any proof, contain or make a point, have logic, or support a conclusion. Mix well for maximum effect.

17. Change the subject. Usually in connection with one of the other ploys listed here, find a way to side-track the discussion with abrasive or controversial comments in hopes of turning attention to a new, more manageable topic. This works especially well with companions who can 'argue' with you over the new topic and polarize the discussion arena in order to avoid discussing more key issues.

Is their report going to show up in some "Send $800 to Dubai to Get Published" journal?

7. Question motives. Twist or amplify any fact which could be taken to imply that the opponent operates out of a hidden personal agenda or other bias. This avoids discussing issues and forces the accuser on the defensive.

Example: 'With the talk-show circuit and the book deal, it looks like you can make a pretty good living spreading lies.'

4. Use a straw man. Find or create a seeming element of your opponent's argument which you can easily knock down to make yourself look good and the opponent to look bad. Either make up an issue you may safely imply exists based on your interpretation of the opponent/opponent arguments/situation, or select the weakest aspect of the weakest charges. Amplify their significance and destroy them in a way which appears to debunk all the charges, real and fabricated alike, while actually avoiding discussion of the real issues.

The buildings were designed to withstand jet planes hitting them.

And the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable.

The buildings were not designed to have impacts at full throttle, loaded with fuel for a trip across the country, shearing off of spray on fire protection, and impact speed great enough to cause penetration and severing of critical internal support columns.

All aircraft within city boundaries are expected to fly below 250 Knots. No exceptions, even if explicitly authorized. The jets were traveling hundreds of MPH over that.

19. Ignore proof presented, demand impossible proofs. This is perhaps a variant of the 'play dumb' rule. Regardless of what material may be presented by an opponent in public forums, claim the material irrelevant and demand proof that is impossible for the opponent to come by (it may exist, but not be at his disposal, or it may be something which is known to be safely destroyed or withheld, such as a murder weapon.) In order to completely avoid discussing issues, it may be required that you to categorically deny and be critical of media or books as valid sources, deny that witnesses are acceptable, or even deny that statements made by government or other authorities have any meaning or relevance.

20. False evidence. Whenever possible, introduce new facts or clues designed and manufactured to conflict with opponent presentations -- as useful tools to neutralize sensitive issues or impede resolution. This works best when the crime was designed with contingencies for the purpose, and the facts cannot be easily separated from the fabrications.

In terms of IMPACT ENERGY, which YOU are trying to present in values THOUSANDS of times higher than physically possible, the weight of the airplane and fuel are the proper factors.

When fuel burns, it release HEAT, not KINETIC energy.

Show me the math. I used the reported velocity and the known MAXIMUM weight of the aircraft, and simple physics and math to arrive at the easily calculated MAXIMUM KINETIC ENERGY of the IMPACT.

YOU show me how you can arrive at a figure in the GIGAJOULES range. And I don't want some BS link, I want YOU to present the values and the math.

The buildings were designed to withstand jet planes hitting them.

And the Titanic was designed to be unsinkable.

Weak Analogy

The buildings were not designed to have impacts at full throttle, loaded with fuel for a trip across the country, shearing off of spray on fire protection, and impact speed great enough to cause penetration and severing of critical internal support columns.

The buildings were designed to withstand the impact of a comparably sized Boeing 707.

All aircraft within city boundaries are expected to fly below 250 Knots. No exceptions, even if explicitly authorized. The jets were traveling hundreds of MPH over that.

"...In the early 1970's the World Trade Center's chief structural engineer, Leslie Robertson, calculated the effect of the impact of a Boeing 707 with the World Trade Center towers. His results were reported in the New York Times where it was claimed that Robertson's study proved the towers would withstand the impact of a Boeing 707 moving at 600 miles an hour. Little did he know that decades later two aircraft, almost identical to the Boeing 707, would impact the towers.

Other engineers are on public record as saying that the World Trade Center would even survive an impact of the larger and faster Boeing 747.

The maximum takeoff weight for a Boeing 707-320B is 336,000 pounds.
The maximum takeoff weight for a Boeing 767-200ER is 395,000 pounds.

The wingspan of a Boeing 707 is 146 feet.
The wingspan of a Boeing 767 is 156 feet.

The length of a Boeing 707 is 153 feet.
The length of a Boeing 767 is 159 feet.

The Boeing 707 could carry 23,000 gallons of fuel.
The Boeing 767 could carry 23,980 gallons of fuel.

However, the actual aircraft involved in the World Trade Center impacts were only flying from Boston to Los Angeles, and consequently, would have been nowhere near fully fueled on takeoff (the Boeing 767 has a maximum range of 7,600 miles (12,220 km)). The aircraft would have carried just enough fuel for the trip together with some safety factor. Remember, that carrying excess fuel means higher fuel bills and less paying passengers. The aircraft would have also burnt some fuel between Boston and New York.

Government sources estimate that each of the Boeing 767's had approximately 10,000 gallons of unused fuel on board at the times of impact."

A 707 has a faster cruising speed than a 767.

The cruise speed of a Boeing 707 is 607 mph = 890 ft/s,
The cruise speed of a Boeing 767 is 530 mph = 777 ft/s.

So, the Boeing 707 and 767 are very similar aircraft, with the main differences being that the 767 is slightly heavier and more fuel-efficient, and the 707 is faster.

The thrust to weight ratio for a Boeing 707 is 4 x 18,000/336,000 = 0.214286.

The thrust to weight ratio for a Boeing 767 is 2 x 31,500/395,000 = 0.159494.

Since the Boeing 707 had a higher thrust to weight ratio, it would be traveling faster on take-off and on landing.

And, since the Boeing 707 would have started from a faster cruise speed, it would be traveling faster in a dive. So in all the likely variations of an accidental impact with the WTC, the Boeing 707 would be traveling faster. In terms of impact damage, this higher speed would more than compensate for the slightly lower weight of the Boeing 707.

The speed of impact of AA Flight 11 has been estimated to be 470 mph = 689 ft/s.
The speed of impact of UA Flight 175 has been estimated to be 590 mph = 865 ft/s.

The kinetic energy released by the impact of AA Flight 11 was
= 0.5 x 395,000 x (689)2/32.174
= 2.914 billion ft lbs force (3,950,950 Kilojoules).

This is well within limits that the towers were built to survive. So why did the North tower fall?

The kinetic energy released by the impact of UA Flight 175 was
= 0.5 x 395,000 x (865)2/32.174
= 4.593 billion ft lbs force (6,227,270 Kilojoules).

This is within 10 percent of the energy released by the impact of a Boeing 707 at cruise speed. ..."

Twenty-Five Ways To Suppress Truth: The Rules of Disinformation

18. Emotionalize, Antagonize, and Goad Opponents. If you can't do anything else, chide and taunt your opponents and draw them into emotional responses which will tend to make them look foolish and overly motivated, and generally render their material somewhat less coherent. Not only will you avoid discussing the issues in the first instance, but even if their emotional response addresses the issue, you can further avoid the issues by then focusing on how 'sensitive they are to criticism.'

You do know that that is a liar lawyer you are trying to get through to, right? And you know what Jonathan Swift said about them, don't you?

"In pleading, they studiously avoid entering into the merits of the cause; but are loud, violent, and tedious, in dwelling upon all circumstances which are not to the purpose. For instance, in the case already mentioned; they never desire to know what claim or title my adversary has to my cow; but whether the said cow were red or black; her horns long or short; whether the field I graze her in be round or square; whether she was milked at home or abroad; what diseases she is subject to, and the like; after which they consult precedents, adjourn the cause from time to time, and in ten, twenty, or thirty years, come to an issue.

"It is likewise to be observed, that this society has a peculiar cant and jargon of their own, that no other mortal can understand, and wherein all their laws are written, which they take special care to multiply; whereby they have wholly confounded the very essence of truth and falsehood, of right and wrong; so that it will take thirty years to decide, whether the field left me by my ancestors for six generations belongs to me, or to a stranger three hundred miles off.

"In the trial of persons accused for crimes against the state, the method is much more short and commendable: the judge first sends to sound the disposition of those in power, after which he can easily hang or save a criminal, strictly preserving all due forms of law."

Here my master interposing, said, "it was a pity, that creatures endowed with such prodigious abilities of mind, as these lawyers, by the description I gave of them, must certainly be, were not rather encouraged to be instructors of others in wisdom and knowledge." In answer to which I assured his honour, "that in all points out of their own trade, they were usually the most ignorant and stupid generation among us, the most despicable in common conversation, avowed enemies to all knowledge and learning, and equally disposed to pervert the general reason of mankind in every other subject of discourse as in that of their own profession."

“I support the general conclusions of the NIST report… The [WTC] was designed for the impact of a low flying slow flying Boeing 707.

We envisioned it [to be like] the aircraft that struck the Empire State building [during] WW II.

It was not designed for a high speed impact from the jets that actually hit it…

The speed of impact of AA Flight 11 has been estimated to be 470 mph = 689 ft/s.

You can't use ft/s to calculate joules directly, since joules are in the MKS (Meters/Kilograms/Seconds) system, not the English system. The English equivalent would be foot pounds.

Since a gigajoule is a billion joules, correct and already demonstrated.

True, a gigajoule is a billion joules, but you are WRONG in terms of the WTC impacts since the HEAVIEST plane and the FASTEST velocity resulted in 443 MILLION JOULES, as I easily presented in post 118.

And your point. You have yet to provide a credible mechanism that shows how an airplane impact accompanied by low temperature fires collapsed a steel framed structure in a linear descent, a mere one hour after the impact, almost exactly into its own footprint.

You have routinely selectively omitted or misrepresented data throughout the thread. You used a graphic which omitted the heavy steel and concrete nature of the building cores, and you have provided no conclusive evidence which refutes the work of the scientists and engineers who have spent man days analyzing the physics of the collapse, nor can you, or have you, refuted the presence of energetic nanotherimites in the residue of the collapsed structures. The only thing you had was another disinformation tactic of accusing one of the individuals of trying to profit. However, you did not refute the actual data.

Please feel free to continue diverting, avoiding, and using all the tricks of the disinformationist's trade, but any objective reader of the thread would conclude that you are Joe Isuzu's evil twin.

The facts that aircraft traveling at maximum speeds with substantial loads of fuel crashed into the WTC towers, set off fires, sheared off fire protection, and destroyed load bearing supports are completely undeniable.

And within a few hours max of these impacts, the buildings collapsed. And there have been volumnious reports done by professionals who make their livings putting up and taking down buildings, correlating the two events.

The burden is upon you to show these events were not correlated. You cannot do this, so instead go onto tangents about people, motive, eebil gubmint, and psychobabble.

This is not a court of law.

Fact is, steel doesn't need fire protection and the load bearing supports were not destroyed by fire.

The speed of impact of UA Flight 175 has been estimated to be 590 mph = 865 ft/s.

The kinetic energy released by the impact of UA Flight 175 was = 0.5 x 395,000 x (865)2/32.174 = 4.593 billion ft lbs force (6,227,270 Kilojoules).

The speed is a bit different than what NIST presented, where they report 546 for the speed of Flight 175 at impact, but those reports have ranged from 430 to 500 to 540.

But we'll take 590 just for the heck of it..

1 mph = 0.44704 m / s 590 mph = 264 m/s

The maximum takeoff weight for a 767-200ER ( I had earlier thought it was a 767- 200, so I used a lower takeoff weight, but here I'll use the maximum takeoff weight of a 767-200ER) is 395,000 lbs.

1 pound = 0.45359237 kilograms

395,000 pounds = 179169 kg

E = 1/2mv2

so...

0.5 * 179169 kg * (264 m/s)2 = 6,243,681,312 Joules, or 6.24 GigaJoules

Thing is, the speed was not 590 mph, the highest reported speed was 546...

So, with 546 mph, the result changes dramatically...

546 mph = 244.1 meters per second

0.5 * 179169 kg * (244 m/s)2 = 5,333,502,792 Joules, or 5.33 GigaJoules

Looks like my first result was off by a factor of 10. Apparently I copied the result of the conversion from pounds to kilograms wrong.

So AGAviator, ok, the impact energy WAS somewhere around 6 GJ or so, probably more like 3 or 4 GJ since the plane was only carrying half it's fuel capacity.

The burning fuel did not add to the IMPACT energy. It simply raised the TEMPERATURE of the structure.

I don't claim to know what really happened on 9/11. I cannot examine the facts of the matter first hand. And I don't have the experience to know what's possible and what is unlikely regarding terrorist activities or military operations. For that analysis, I need to rely on experts. Many of the government employees have spent large portions of their careers studying espionage, terrorism, and military operations throughout the world and have personally planned and carried out United States' military and intelligence activities.

Nor am I an architect, structural engineer, or commercial or military pilot. Their expressions of concern about the official account of 9/11 are also extremely important. I applaud the integrity and courage of all of the individuals listed on the website for publicly supporting the search for the truth about 9/11 in spite of opposition by our government and lack of support in the mainstream news media.

Somebody claiming he doesn't know WTF is going on does not corroborate your claims of "official government" theories being false.

And he explicitly wants to rely on the same educated and accomplished professionals I cite, and you trash as being part of the official conspiracy.

News - News Releases By AE911Truth
Written by Darcy Wearing and Richard Gage, AIA   

Thursday, 24 June 2010 18:55

Having had the privilege of speaking with Tom Sullivan, an actual explosive- charge placement technician, we have some new insights to pass along as to how controlled demolition works, where it started, and the effect that 9/11 had on the demolition industry. Sullivan gained his experience as an employee of the leading firm in this field, Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI).  Sullivan stresses though “I do not in anyway represent CDI and what I have to say is based on my own experience and training,”

Sullivan attended high school with Doug Loizeaux of the Loizeaux family. The Loizeaux family, through the father Jack, independently started the whole controlled-demolition industry and turned it into a highly profitable business. Sullivan, before he became connected to CDI, was an independent photographer during his early years in Maryland. He would be sent to CD sites and take still pictures of the jobs.  He became infatuated with the CD industry. The time came when he would do both, being the placer of the “cutter charges” on the primary joints, and photographing the jobs for promoting the business. Soon he would switch to full-time employee status of CDI -- as verified by AE911Truth’s verification team.

"It was very interesting, but also very hard work, long hours, especially in the cold weather," Sullivan reflects. He stated that the days began early, around 6 a.m., and they would work until the sun was down. Sullivan had the experience of preparing a building by placing the cutter charges throughout the primary joints, and then, of course, watching it all come down.


Sullivan notes that many weeks are required to “prep,” or weaken the buildings before demolitions. Steel frame buildings don’t just fall into their footprints at free-fall without major work throughout the building – even some before the placement of explosives.  Sullivan emphasized as an aside, “Fire cannot bring down steel-framed high rises -- period.”

One of Sullivan’s most exciting jobs was the colossal Kingdome in whose reinforced concrete structure he personally placed hundreds of deadly explosive charges. 

Working for CDI was, Sullivan stated, “a very unique experience.”  He also said, "they were a close-knit family -- referring to the familial values of the Loizeauxs." “I learned from watching," said Sullivan. "There is no school that will teach you this, just hands on hard work." Sullivan took hundreds of project photos, through which he developed a deep passion for the trade.

When asked, what made CDI the best in the business, he commented, “their family had all the experience because they ’invented’ the art of CD. They spent years traveling around the world, showing and educating people how this art form works.”

Unfortunately, the business came to a screeching halt after 9/11. "People were scared -- if they were to hear a loud bang it was probably some kind of terrorist attack," says Sullivan in frustration. "Fear took over and there was no more business." Even Mark Loizeaux (CDI’s President) has been quoted as saying 9/11 ruined him. Sullivan had no choice but to leave CDI. Curiously, CDI had a role in the WTC cleanup through a subcontract under Tully Construction. On September 22, 2001, CDI submitted a 25-page "preliminary" document to New York City's Department of Design and Construction, a plan related to the removal and recycling of the steel.[¹]

Sullivan stated that he knew from the first day that the destruction of World Trade Center Building 7 on 9/11 was a classic controlled implosion. Asked how he thought it might have been done he posited, “looking at the building it wouldn’t be a problem -- once you gain access to the elevator shafts…then a team of expert loaders would have hidden access to the core columns and beams.  The rest can be accomplished with just the right kind of explosives for the job. Thermite can be used as well.”

Brent Blanchard, the photographer from the controlled demolition company Protec, has said, in criticism of the CD theory, that there would have had to been detonation cords strung all over the place and casings left in the rubble pile from the cutter charges.  So we asked for a response from Sullivan.  He noted that:

Remote wireless detonators have been available for years. Look at any action movie -- and of course the military has them.  The reason most contractors don’t use them is that they are too expensive -- but in a project with a huge budget it would be no problem. As for the casings -- everyone in the industry, including Blanchard, would know that RDX explosive cutter charges are completely consumed when they go off -- nothing is left. And in the case of Thermite cutter charges, that may also be the case. Thermite self-consuming cutter charge casings have been around since first patented back in 1984.


We asked Sullivan if all the floors in WTC  7 would have to be loaded with explosives in order for a successful controlled demolition.  He responded,

No, with steel framed buildings you really need only to load the bottom third to bring the building down. While at CDI we had a job in Hartford Conn, the CNG building, where we did just that.  And it worked out beautifully.

Recalling that Ron Craig, a Hollywood movie explosions expert claimed in a debate with us, that there would have been many blocks of broken windows if it were a controlled demolition.  Sullivan reflected,

The key word here is controlled demolition – in other words careful placement of charges -- always focused and precise.  We are not talking about setting off a bomb here.  The amount and type of explosives is an art and collateral damage can often be completely avoided.

We asked about Shyam Sunder, the lead investigator of NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) who claimed publically in his infamous press conference at the “unveiling” of the Final Report on the Collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 that there would have been a loud boom coming from a massive explosion if this had been a controlled demolition, and asked him about that.  Sullivan said, “With any implosion there is never just one big explosion but rather waves of smaller explosions -- not unlike the percussion section in a symphony - - as each loaded floor is progressively set off.”

And as Sullivan watched the towers collapse that day, like so many did, he pondered at how fast it all took place, and how suddenly and symmetrically they were brought down. "I knew it was an explosive event as soon as I saw it, there was no question in my mind," said Sullivan. Most of us agree -- it's not by chance that the first tower just happened to collapse -- then the second in the same manner. What convinced him completely is when he watched Tower 7 fall that day, "I mean, come on, it was complete destruction. I've seen buildings fall like that for years -- that was the end game for me." Keep in mind that Sullivan did this for a living for several years -- it is like second nature for him to see this type of demolition. If anybody would know, it should be him.  But we went ahead and asked him, “Is there any chance that normal office fires (the official cause of the ’collapse’) could have been responsible for the smooth, symmetrical, free-fall acceleration of building 7? “Not a chance,” he retorted. We just wanted to be sure.

When we asked him if he followed any of the 9/11 Commission hearings or that of the NIST reporting, he had the same answer for both "I have no tolerance for people who lie to me about what I know to be true. I threw my hands up in disgust and never watched another hearing after the first. As for NIST, I didn't even watch because I knew what to expect." He did however follow the final report on the collapse of Tower 7 and said it angered him that they could actually convince so many of their fraudulent claims.

Sullivan first came into contact with AE911Truth through a friend that sent him the 9/11: Blueprint for Truth DVD. He watched it and was very excited that there was actually an organization out there trying to inform people of what he was trying to say since that fateful day. “AE911Truth is the most focused and organized group there is today in the 9/11 truth movement.  There is no speculation," he said. "Blueprint for Truth is factual and impressive information based on science and physics, and was clear and concise." When asked if he agreed with the evidence the DVD brings forth, Sullivan responded, "It contains extremely compelling evidence."

The final question we asked in this interview was, "How many architects and engineers does it take speaking in unison until people hear that there is a problem?" His response, "As the number grows it will be harder and harder to deny them -- but deny them they will."

Note: 1) Sullivan came out from the East Coast to deliver a short but electrifying presentation on Friday and Saturday night, May 7th & 8th at the joint presentation of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth and Firefighters for 9/11 Truth.  He joined Richard Gage, AIA, and Erik Lawyer on stage for 10 minutes and answered some key questions about the demolition industry, the CDI family of Loizeauxs, and the way the 3 WTC skyscrapers were destroyed.  Prior to these milestone events he appeared with Gage and Lawyer on KPFA radio Berkeley on the program “Guns & Butter” with host Bonnie Faulkner who had a number of great questions for him.

2) "DO NOT COPY" watermarks on images were added by Tom Sullivan. These images may not be copied other than in the context of this article, or with his specific approval.

As well even NIST now admits that most of the fuel was burned up in the first ten minutes. Remember the big fireball? That was the fuel load of one of the planes exploding - outside the building.

So you are admitting that IF there was a loss of structural integrity, then it would be UNEVEN, right?

If the loss was UNEVEN, then the top of the towers should have slid off the lower part of the structure, or fallen down towards one corner.

An object always takes the path of LEAST resistance, not MOST resistance.

As even your co-poster now concedes, several billion joules of all energy combined were released by the jet impacts. And within a couple hours max of this massive enrgy release the buildings collapsed.

It is incumbent upon you to show how these several billion joules were not a factor in the rapid collapses after the crashes, and substituted for by several billion more joules sufficient to cause building collapses, delivered by unknown methods and means.

Even discounting a certain amount of fuel leakage, far more fuel ended up burning inside the building than outside it. That's why a number of people chose to jump out of the windows to their deaths below, if you recall.

If all or most of the jet fuel was burining outside, you'd think they'd stay in their offices indoors, no?

Here's an interesting analysis I've seen in the past...

From THE JET FUEL; HOW HOT DID IT HEAT THE WORLD TRADE CENTER?



THE JET FUEL; HOW HOT DID IT HEAT
THE WORLD TRADE CENTER?

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) report into collapse of the WTC towers, estimates that about 3,500 gallons of jet fuel burnt within each of the towers. Imagine that this entire quantity of jet fuel was injected into just one floor of the World Trade Center, that the jet fuel burnt with perfect efficency, that no hot gases left this floor, that no heat escaped this floor by conduction and that the steel and concrete had an unlimited amount of time to absorb all the heat. With these ideal assumptions we calculate the maximum temperature that this one floor could have reached.

"The Boeing 767 is capable of carrying up to 23,980 gallons of fuel and it is estimated that, at the time of impact, each aircraft had approximately 10,000 gallons of unused fuel on board (compiled from Government sources)."

Quote from the FEMA report into the collapse of WTC's One and Two (Chapter Two).

Since the aircraft were only flying from Boston to Los Angeles, they would have been nowhere near fully fueled on takeoff (the aircraft have a maximum range of 7,600 miles). They would have carried just enough fuel for the trip together with some safety factor. Remember, that carrying excess fuel means higher fuel bills and less paying passengers. The aircraft would have also burnt some fuel between Boston and New York.

"If one assumes that approximately 3,000 gallons of fuel were consumed in the initial fireballs, then the remainder either escaped the impact floors in the manners described above or was consumed by the fire on the impact floors. If half flowed away, then 3,500 gallons remained on the impact floors to be consumed in the fires that followed."

Quote from the FEMA report into the collapse of WTC's One and Two (Chapter Two).

What we propose to do, is pretend that the entire 3,500 gallons of jet fuel was confined to just one floor of the World Trade Center, that the jet fuel burnt with the perfect quantity of oxygen, that no hot gases left this floor and that no heat escaped this floor by conduction. With these ideal assumptions (none of which were meet in reality) we will calculate the maximum temperature that this one floor could have reached. Of course, on that day, the real temperature rise of any floor due to the burning jet fuel, would have been considerably lower than the rise that we calculate, but this estimate will enable us to demonstrate that the "official" explanation is a lie.

Note that a gallon of jet fuel weighs about 3.1 kilograms, hence 3,500 gallons weighs 3,500 x 3.1 = 10,850 kgs.

Jet fuel is a colorless, combustible, straight run petroleum distillate liquid. Its principal uses are as an ingredient in lamp oils, charcoal starter fluids, jet engine fuels and insecticides.

It is also know as, fuel oil #1, kerosene, range oil, coal oil and aviation fuel.

It is comprised of hydrocarbons with a carbon range of C9 - C17. The hydrocarbons are mainly alkanes CnH2n+2, with n ranging from 9 to 17.

It has a flash point within the range 42° C - 72° C (110° F - 162° F).

And an ignition temperature of 210° C (410° F).

Depending on the supply of oxygen, jet fuel burns by one of three chemical reactions:

(1) CnH2n+2 + (3n+1)/2 O2 => n CO2 + (n + 1) H2O

(2) CnH2n+2 + (2n+1)/2 O2 => n CO + (n + 1) H2O

(3) CnH2n+2 + (n+1)/2 O2 => n C + (n + 1) H2O

Reaction (1) occurs when jet fuel is well mixed with air before being burnt, as for example, in jet engines.

Reactions (2) and (3) occur when a pool of jet fuel burns. When reaction (3) occurs the carbon formed shows up as soot in the flame. This makes the smoke very dark.

In the aircraft crashes at the World Trade Center, the impact (with the aircraft going from 500 or 600 mph to zero) would have throughly mixed the fuel that entered the building with the limited amount of air available within. In fact, it is likely that all the fuel was turned into a flammable mist. However, for sake of argument we will assume that 3,500 gallons of the jet fuel did in fact form a pool fire. This means that it burnt according to reactions (2) and (3). Also note that the flammable mist would have burnt according to reactions (2) and (3), as the quantity of oxygen within the building was quite limited.

Since we do not know the exact quantities of oxygen available to the fire, we will assume that the combustion was perfectly efficient, that is, that the entire quantity of jet fuel burnt via reaction (1), even though we know that this was not so. This generous assumption will give a temperature that we know will be higher than the actual temperature of the fire attributable to the jet fuel.

We need to know that the (net) calorific value of jet fuel when burnt via reaction (1) is 42-44 MJ/kg. The calorific value of a fuel is the amount of energy released when the fuel is burnt. We will use the higher value of 44 MJ/kg as this will lead to a higher maximum temperature than the lower value of 42 (and we wish to continue being outrageously generous in our assumptions).

For a cleaner presentation and simpler calculations we will also assume that our hydrocarbons are of the form CnH2n. The dropping of the 2 hydrogen atoms does not make much difference to the final result and the interested reader can easily recalculate the figures for a slightly more accurate result. So we are now assuming the equation:

(4) CnH2n + 3n/2 O2 => n CO2 + n H2O

However, this model, does not take into account that the reaction is proceeding in air, which is only partly oxygen.

Dry air is 79% nitrogen and 21% oxygen (by volume). Normal air has a moisture content from 0 to 4%. We will include the water vapor and the other minor atmospheric gases with the nitrogen.

So the ratio of the main atmospheric gases, oxygen and nitrogen, is 1 : 3.76. In molar terms:

Air = O2 + 3.76 N2.

Because oxygen comes mixed with nitrogen, we have to include it in the equations. Even though it does not react, it is "along for the ride" and will absorb heat, affecting the overall heat balance. Thus we need to use the equation:

(5) CnH2n + 3n/2(O2 + 3.76 N2) => n CO2 + n H2O + 5.64n N2

From this equation we see that the molar ratio of CnH2n to that of the products is:

CnH2n : CO2 : H2O : N2= 1 : n : n : 5.64n moles
= 14n : 44n : 18n : 28 x 5.64n kgs
= 1 : 3.14286 : 1.28571 : 11.28 kgs
= 31,000 : 97,429 : 39,857 : 349,680 kgs

In the conversion of moles to kilograms we have assumed the atomic weights of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen are 1, 12, 14 and 16 respectively.

Now each of the towers contained 96,000 (short) tons of steel. That is an average of 96,000/117 = 820 tons per floor. Lets suppose that the bottom floors contained roughly twice the amount of steel of the upper floors (since the lower floors had to carry more weight). So we estimate that the lower floors contained about 1,100 tons of steel and the upper floors about 550 tons = 550 x 907.2 m6; 500,000 kgs. We will assume that the floors hit by the aircraft contained the lower estimate of 500,000 kgs of steel. This generously underestimates the quantity of steel in these floors, and once again leads to a higher estimate of the maximum temperature.

Each story had a floor slab and a ceiling slab. These slabs were 207 feet wide, 207 feet deep and 4 (in parts 5) inches thick and were constructed from lightweight concrete. So each slab contained 207 x 207 x 1/3 = 14,283 cubic feet of concrete. Now a cubic foot of lightweight concrete weighs about 50kg, hence each slab weighed 714,150 m6; 700,000 kgs. Together, the floor and ceiling slabs weighed some 1,400,000 kgs.

So, now we take all the ingredients and estimate a maximum temperature to which they could have been heated by 3,500 gallons of jet fuel. We will call this maximum temperature T. Since the calorific value of jet fuel is 44 MJ/kg. We know that 3,500 gallons = 31,000 kgs of jet fuel

will release 10,850 x 44,000,000 = 477,400,000,000 Joules of energy.

This is the total quantity of energy available to heat the ingredients to the temperature T. But what is the temperature T? To find out, we first have to calculate the amount of energy absorbed by each of the ingredients.

That is, we need to calculate the energy needed to raise:

39,857 kilograms of water vapor to the temperature T° C,
97,429 kilograms of carbon dioxide to the temperature T° C,
349,680 kilograms of nitrogen to the temperature T° C,
500,000 kilograms of steel to the temperature T° C,
1,400,000 kilograms of concrete to the temperature T° C.

To calculate the energy needed to heat the above quantities, we need their specific heats. The specific heat of a substance is the amount of energy needed to raise one kilogram of the substance by one degree centigrade.

SubstanceSpecific Heat [J/kg*C]
Nitrogen1,038
Water Vapor1,690
Carbon Dioxide845
Lightweight Concrete 800
Steel450

Substituting these values into the above, we obtain:

39,857 x1,690 x (T - 25) Joules are needed to heat the water vapor from 25° to T° C,
97,429 x845 x (T - 25) Joules are needed to heat the carbon dioxide from 25° to T° C,
349,680 x1,038 x (T - 25) Joules are needed to heat the nitrogen from 25° to T° C,
500,000 x450 x (T - 25) Joules are needed to heat the steel from 25° to T° C,
1,400,000 x800 x (T - 25) Joules are needed to heat the concrete from 25° to T° C.

The assumption that the specific heats are constant over the temperature range 25° - T° C, is a good approximation if T turns out to be relatively small (as it does). For larger values of T this assumption once again leads to a higher maximum temperature (as the specific heat for these substances increases with temperature). We have assumed the initial temperature of the surroundings to be 25° C. The quantity, (T - 25)° C, is the temperature rise.

So the amount of energy needed to raise one floor to the temperature T° C is

= (39,857 x 1,690 + 97,429 x 845 + 349,680 x 1,038 + 500,000 x 450 + 1,400,000 x 800) x (T - 25)
= (67,358,330 + 82,327,505 + 362,967,840 + 225,000,000 + 1,120,000,000) x (T - 25) Joules
= 1,857,653,675 x (T - 25) Joules.

Since the amount of energy available to heat this floor is 477,400,000,000 Joules, we have that

1,857,653,675 x (T - 25) = 477,400,000,000
1,857,653,675 x T - 46,441,341,875 = 477,400,000,000

Therefore T = (477,400,000,000 + 46,441,341,875)/1,857,653,675 = 282° C (540° F).

So, the jet fuel could (at the very most) have only added T - 25 = 282 - 25 = 257° C (495° F) to the temperature of the typical office fire that developed.

Remember, this figure is a huge over-estimate, as (among other things) it assumes that the steel and concrete had an unlimited amount of time to absorb the heat, whereas in reality, the jet fuel fire was all over in one or two minutes, and the energy not absorbed by the concrete and steel within this brief period (that is, almost all of it) would have been vented to the outside world.

"The time to consume the jet fuel can be reasonably computed. At the upper bound, if one assumes that all 10,000 gallons of fuel were evenly spread across a single building floor, it would form a pool that would be consumed by fire in less than 5 minutes"

Quote from the FEMA report into the collapse of WTC's One and Two (Chapter Two).

Here are statements from three eye-witnesses that provide evidence that the heating due to the jet fuel was indeed minimal.

Donovan Cowan was in an open elevator at the 78th floor sky-lobby (one of the impact floors of the South Tower) when the aircraft hit. He has been quoted as saying: "We went into the elevator. As soon as I hit the button, that's when there was a big boom. We both got knocked down. I remember feeling this intense heat. The doors were still open. The heat lasted for maybe 15 to 20 seconds I guess. Then it stopped."

Stanley Praimnath was on the 81st floor of the South Tower: "The plane impacts. I try to get up and then I realize that I'm covered up to my shoulder in debris. And when I'm digging through under all this rubble, I can see the bottom wing starting to burn, and that wing is wedged 20 feet in my office doorway."

Ling Young was in her 78th floor office: "Only in my area were people alive, and the people alive were from my office. I figured that out later because I sat around in there for 10 or 15 minutes. That's how I got so burned."

Neither Stanley Praimnath nor Donovan Cowan nor Ling Young were cooked by the jet fuel fire. All three survived.

Summarizing:

We have assumed that the entire 3,500 gallons of jet fuel was confined to just one floor of the World Trade Center, that the jet fuel burnt with perfect efficency, that no hot gases left this floor, that no heat escaped this floor by conduction and that the steel and concrete had an unlimited amount of time to absorb all the heat.

Then it is impossible that the jet fuel, by itself, raised the temperature of this floor more than 257° C (495° F).

Now this temperature is nowhere near high enough to even begin explaining the World Trade Center Tower collapse.

It is not even close to the first critical temperature of 600° C (1,100° F) where steel loses about half its strength and it is nowhere near the quotes of 1500° C that we constantly read about in our lying media.

"In the mid-1990s British Steel and the Building Research Establishment performed a series of six experiments at Cardington to investigate the behavior of steel frame buildings. These experiments were conducted in a simulated, eight-story building. Secondary steel beams were not protected. Despite the temperature of the steel beams reaching 800-900° C (1,500-1,700° F) in three of the tests (well above the traditionally assumed critical temperature of 600° C (1,100° F), no collapse was observed in any of the six experiments."

Quote from the FEMA report (Appendix A).

Recalling that the North Tower suffered no major structural damage from the intense office fire of February 23, 1975, we can conclude that the ensuing office fires of September 11, 2001, also did little extra damage to the towers.

Conclusion:

The jet fuel fires played almost no role in the collapse of the World Trade Center.

So, once again, you have been lied to by the media, are you surprised?

As even your co-poster now concedes, several billion joules of all energy combined were released by the jet impacts. And within a couple hours max of this massive enrgy release the buildings collapsed.

Wrong, the fact is that energy was dissipated in the first few seconds of the impact, causing some swaying of the building. Besides, we are just talking about AVAILABLE energy, not the TRANSFER of energy to the structure, since the plane itself absorbed some of that energy by being ripped to shreds.

In all aviation, especially commercial aviation, passenger safety trumps fuel economy time and time again.

Aircraft must not only have enough fuel for alternate destinations, they must also have enough fuel to make safe landings if one or more engines fail.

A swaying building that has already had its load bearing columns seriously damaged is a damaged building with unpredictable consequences. And transfers of enregy from moving ojects to stationary objects make the energy go to the target, not the source.

Regardless, we don't know for sure because the debris was carted off before any real investigation was performed on the debris for evidence.

Neither you nor I can claim the above cut was made by a worker with a torch, or thermite. HOWEVER, there IS evidence of thermite, and molten metal WAS seen flowing out of the building BEFORE it collapsed. There is no way in hell the fires were hot enough to melt steel.

Neither you nor I can claim the above cut was made by a worker with a torch, or thermite

I've used both oxygen cutting torches and themite.

You've used neither.

Burning thermite is an amorphous blob that does not and cannot make straight vertical cuts, period.

If you had ever been within 10 yards of thermite for even 5 seconds you would know that beyond any doubt.

The fact that you choose to quote some people so dumb as to claim it does make straight cuts sideways and vertically, but who have never been near the stuff personally, shows a mindset so steeped in groupthink it is willing to disregard direct evidence in favor of preconceived theories.

Thermite Burning

In the above photo, show me the pretty straight lines burning thermite makes.

Real-World Tests Cut Through Steel, Shatter Thermite "Evidence"

by Enrico Manieri - Henry62

To understand the situation more clearly, I acquired photographs taken by Joel Meyerowitz, the only professional photographer allowed at Ground Zero.

I have verified that in Meyerowitz's panoramic views, taken very shortly after the collapses from many locations at Ground Zero, there are absolutely no columns which bear the markings of straight or diagonal thermal cuts, contrary to the claims of the supporters of alternative theories.

It is quite evident that the cuts were made at a later time, during debris demolition and removal. This can be deduced also by looking at the type of cut that characterizes the columns and beams that were loaded onto trucksfor removal and storage and is also exhibited by the debris stored in the well-known Hangar 17 of the Kennedy Airport in New York.

Scenes such as the one shown below were quite normal at Ground Zero:

Cutting torch

Another cutting torch.

Close up of aftermath of cutting torch work

Gawd, what an argumentative and stupid fuckwit you are to keep repeating this CT babble for the last 8 years. Then proclaim yourself the winner of a debate about thermite without ever having been near the stuff in your entire life!

Due to unshown events prior to the photos, the columns are already on the verge of breaking apart in the shown pictures.

They're on the verge of breaking apart because they were violently separated from other building materials that were attached to them and seriously damaged to a point where they are ready to fall apart.

With additional shaking and movement, the columns separate into pieces on their way to the ground.

For about 8 hours, they were subject to (1) Being violently torn away from other building materials they were attached to, subjected to tensions, torsions, and twists in the process, (2) Being hit by heavy other steel pieces falling at significant speeds from other buildings, (3) Depending on location, being subject to uneven heating from out of control fires, continuously fed by a large self-contained fuel system, and other unknown factors.

I see things that have been crushed under many tons of pressure, not melted. However now that you mention it, there were smouldering underground fires and hot spots lasting for weeks afterwards of the collapses. Those are effects of the collapses, not causes.

How on earth could the buildings collapsing cause "underground fires and hot spots" for weeks?

If your photos are accurate, they did disintegrate without anything working on them as the pictures were taken. There's no evidence of any external forces, so the only possible conculusion is they were already in condition to disintegrate. This would have to be from whatever happened to them previously.

The factors from the building collapse are known. The factors alleging extraneous causes are speculative.

It looks melted, not crushed.

Melted items don't show clearly defined edges and distinct colors of clearly defined pieces. Something that's melted is a big blob with only a few colors.

How on earth could the buildings collapsing cause "underground fires and hot spots" for weeks?

The buildings were on fire when they collapsed. The collapses of 47 stories buried burning and heated material in piles extending several stories underground.

After the collapses the firemen continued spraying the debris pile with water. However putting water onto iron above 400 Degrees Centigrade produces an exothermic reaction which releases hydrogen which continues to fuel the fires. This fact was known as far back as the 1800's.

Molten Steel

Oxidation of iron by air is not the only EXOTHERMIC reaction of iron (= structural steel which is about 98 % Fe, 1 % Mn, 0.2 % C, 0.2 % Si.....). There is at least one additional reaction of iron with the capability of keeping the rubble pile hot and cooking!

The reaction between IRON AND STEAM is also very EXOTHERMIC and fast at temperatures above 400 deg C. This reaction produces Fe3O4 AND HYDROGEN. It is the classic example of a REVERSIBLE REACTION studied in Chemistry labs at high school. But believe it or not, back at the turn of the century, the reaction of iron and steam was used as an industrial process for the manufacture of hydrogen.

I think iron and steam could have reacted in this way (at least for a while) and generated a lot of heat. What is more, the hydrogen released would have been converted back to water by reaction with oxygen, thereby generating even more heat. In this case spraying water on the rubble pile was like adding fuel to a fire!

Now add in gypsum reactions with H2 and CO and we have a great source of SO2 and/or H2S to sulfide the steel!

Perhaps the endless spraying of water on the rubble pile was not such a good idea!

In the usual lab experiment on the reversible reaction of iron and "steam", nitrogen (or some inert gas) is bubbled through water to create a gas stream saturated with water vapor at room temperature. This gas is then allowed to flow into a glass tube about 1 meter long containing iron in an inert boat at its center. This assembly is heated in a tube furnace to some desired temperature, say 500 deg C. The hydrogen/ nitrogen gas mixture is collected at the outlet of the tube furnace.

In the industrial process the feed gas might also be "water gas" which is a mixture of CO and water vapor. The outlet gas contains mostly H2 and CO2.

I am sure there was plenty of water vapor AND oxygen in the void spaces in the rubble pile. This is the "steam" I am referring to.

Please remember that the recovered pieces of structural steel were heavily OXIDIZED as well as sulfided. The most important oxidizing agents available in the rubble pile were obviously O2 and H2O.

The rubble pile was not only inhomogeneous with regard to its composition, it was inhomogeneous with regard to its temperature. This was due to localized chemical reactions. Such reactions were capable of generating high temperatures in these localized hot spots.

The demolitionists much beloved thermite is a good example, BUT NOT THE ONLY EXAMPLE. AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF WHATSOEVER THAT THERMITE, THERMATE, SOL-GEL NANO-THERMITE WAS EVER PRESENT AT THE WTC SITE!!!!!!

It is irrelevant whether or not the steam was wet or dry, that is a chemical engineering notion only of interest in a closed and controlled system, usually under high-pressure, such as a steam generator in a power station.

Water vapor was present in the rubble pile and water vapor reacts with iron releasing HYDROGEN.

ITS CALLED A CORROSION REACTION:

METAL + WATER = METAL OXIDE + HYDROGEN

WHEN IT HAPPENED AT THREE MILE ISLAND IT CREATED A HYDROGEN BUBBLE

You stopped posting on 07/07 at 21:19 and resumed posting on 07/08 at 3:02.

When I started this little discourse, I clearly saw where it was going to go. It never fails that when it gets right down to it, the k00ks feel more comfortable discussing their wacked out theories and eventually trashing and spewing obscenities at anyone who disputes them, than they are looking at the real issues which underly US policies.

Trying to give you all some alternate routes of discourse, I clearly stated (1) There is a USreal connection, however it takes a twisted path through Washington, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and OBL Afghan training camps, and (2) Noam Chomsky, one of the premier intellectuals of the 20th Century, stated that elaborate CT theories take discourse about post 911 events into areas not especially useful for changing policies and actions.

The groupthink mob response of course was the usual all or nothing diatribes about their unsupported theories, and the trashing of Chomsky and similarly prominent professors as an intellectual lightweight. And then the attacks on me. Not that I care.

Meanwhile, lionizing k00k professors Steven Jones - not even supported by his own University, and whose only "peer reviewed publication" was from an $800 hole in the wall in Abu Dubhai.

And Niels Harritt, who alleges nanothermite was used at the WTC centers, but says

(1) Go talk to the USG about what it is, he can't say,
(2) Alleges his mystery substance is both an explosive and an accelerant at the same time - a truly idiotic claim,
(3) Doesn't know whether there were 10 or 100 tons of it,
(4) Can't specify the methods and means by which it was detonated, and
(5) Can't explain why so many (unknown) tons of this high tech so-called cutting edge stuff failed to explode and was just lying around the sites waiting to be picked up by the truckload - without any safety precautions needed by the cleanup workers I might add.
So you all would rather do your groupthink on your mental island, fine. Just don't expect anyone to rescue you.

There were "Israeli art students," actually discharged IDF soldiers doing training for intel work, who lived within a few blocks of Atta and his companions and were tracking his calls. This has been documented and reported, including by Carl Cameron, before it was pulled.

Other "Israeli art students" would go up to secure US buildings and check their security, and see if they could get in under the guise of selling the toy helicopters or whatever else they were supposed to be peddling.

At some times when the behavior of the people tracking Atta is pointed out to Israeli supporters, they claim a warning was passed on to the USG but it was misrouted and ignored. That doesn't explain how the "Israeli moving company" knew exactly what was going to happen and where. And was ready with their movie cameras.

Still, I miss the days when other posters challenged these guys. Eventually, they simply left as it is tiring to discuss even common sense.

How would you know? You've never tried. You're always on about some bs like "Peak Oil" or "global warming." And no, Aggravator hasn't won anything on this thread. He's just proven that he believes the government's insane conspiracy theory, the wackiest one of all.

I have found out that world class issues such as the BULLSHIT (that you call it) is reason enough not to pursue other discussions ... although, I still think chemtrails and crop circles are for the mere brain-dead; I really find the stuff great humour in these days where so many other events are occurring.

Amazing response. You should know by now, that your government keeps a "lid" on these topics .... and as a result, the issues appear to be "managed" or officially called "sustainable."

Never-the-less, the common denominator or essential undercurrent issues such as "over population", "climate change" and "dwindling resource capability and capacity" completely imbue the economic, social and political aspects of our lives.

Your response is symptomatic of my gut wrenching laffter........ ROTFL.

I bring him up because you are a proponent of his idiotic theory (and I assume that since I called it idiotic you won't labor under any delusions that I believe global warming is anything but bs, certainly not "a fact."). If you want to know the truth about "global warming" take some time to listen to Lord Monckton. He has some videos on youtube that completely destroy this hysteria that people who should know better keep pushing. Al does it for the money, or was doing it for the money. Don't hear so much from him now that it has been proven that he is just a big liar and swindler.

#280. To: buckeroo, turtle (#259) (Edited)

then manage to fly those aircraft through aerobatic maneuvers that would challenge a Master Pilot and crash them into major buildings for Allah*.

Actually, the hit on the Pentagon by Flight 77 is an example of marginal pilot struggling to control too much airplane, but assisted in his last moments by extra lift caused by a high speed "clean" approach to the target.

The offices of the Pentagon's top brass including Rumsfeld, who had to have been the major target for Flight 77, face the Potomac northwards, where the 270/330 degree turn started.

The airplane was lined up correctly to go down the Potomac, then put itself into a hard right turn and fly directly into the north-facing offices including Rumsfeld and top DoD officials.

However, because the planners and the pilot were unfamiliar with flying large airplanes, they didn't take into account that power dives create extra lift, especially on larger birds.

This means when Hanjour started his power right turn, trying to descend 7,000 feet in a few minutes while not cutting back on power, he got way more lift than he expected, and could no longer hit his original target facing north.

So now he finds himself overshooting the Pentagon, trying to get his plane down while traveling 400 mph, and needing some other place to target to hit the building at all.

So to compromise he widened his turn radius and now was targeting the Pentagon's back instead of its facade.

As he got closer to the ground coming in from the back, Hanjour got even more lift from what's called "ground effect." Aircraft flying close to the earth, especially low-wing "clean" planes without landing gear down or flaps deployed, float on a cushion of air that's trapped between the plane's underbody and the earth. When you're flying clean and close to the earth, it's just about impossible to contact the ground without a major effort. The trapped air cushion keeps you from hitting the earth in just about all circumstances.

Flight 77 did clip a number of light poles on its way in. The engines and the airplane didn't dig big holes into the ground because the wingfs and fuselage were partially shielded by ground effect. When they did hit things, the hits were shearing impacts which glanced off the objects and allowed the plane to continue moving forward.

The "Small Hole in the Pentagon" Claim

Folks, the hole in the Pentagon is big enough for all of the bulky parts of a 757 to crash through-- about 15 feet on the second floor and possibly 80 feet on the first floor. There is a photo of metal wrapped around a column and other photos of aircraft debris within the building. Why should they fake this?

There was debris of shredded aircraft skin on the front lawn. Why should they plant this material? How could they be sure they wouldn't be seen planting it?

The first image of the security camera at the guard shack in all likelihood was digitally manipulated to cause dissension and distraction in our 9-11 skeptics/truth community (one clue was that it had the wrong date attached to it).

If someone precut the bolts of the light poles and rigged them to fall over, wouldn't that leave a possibility for the automobile drivers to notice that and report some funny business on this matter? Those who say it was stage- managed to look like a 757 crashed there are just making things more complicated for them to pull it off. Why should they stage-manage the Pentagon crash at all?

I think it is most logical that the hijackers, if they were truly even on the aircraft, were hijacked themselves by remote control technology. This is what makes the most sense with the available evidence. People like Eric Hufschmid, who was one of the first to have a big impact on persuading many of us that flight 77 didn't crash into the Pentagon, upon further discovery, have proven to me to be an incompetent researcher. And possibly even worse, he has shown a desire to discredit our work by association. He has shown a real disdain for a democratic republic.

He holds himself up as being smarter than most of the public even though all the while he peddles nonsense about the Apollo moon landings as being a hoax. If you don't believe this is the case about Hufschmid just read the junk he has on his web site: www.erichufschmid.net

Also, if you haven't seen my web page featuring an exchange with Eric over the Apollo business please do so. Be sure to read what he said in his last letter (this reveals his fascist pro military dictatorship leanings): http://home.pacbell.net/skeptica/apollohoax.html

I don't mean to give offense to those busy people who are new to this Pentagon research or who just haven't gotten around to a study of what evidence is available and through no fault of their own have been swayed by the presentations of people like Hufschmid. I, at one time, counted myself in that same category. Hufschmid has shown that he has a lot of time available and hence has no excuses for presenting his falsities, even after a couple of us have tried to show him his errors, he hasn't budged.

No rational person[edit:al] questions the reasons for this type of madness as a mere "conspiracy." What happened (in a nutshell) is US foreign policy created what is popularly termed as "backdraft."

American foreign intervention around the world must be changed to ensure our own sanctity while living peaceably (if possible) with others.

As a nation, we have made enemies mingling in their own affairs while the actual reasons were for ensuring continuous oil supplies here in America and other allied nations.

Your photo spread is visual disinformation.

Your photo of a cutting torch shows it cutting a straight line in a steel block. It does not show it cutting the beam in the photo above. Also note that it leaves very little slag as opposed to the cut beam where we can see that a very significant amount of slag at the point the beam was severed.

Your photo of a burning pool of, presumably, thermite is also misleading for a couple of reasons:

A. Thermite for cutting operations is produced as a cord which you can then wrap around that which you want to cut.

B. Nano-thermite has some distinctly different characteristics:

It burns hotter than standard thermite.

And since it is a micro-fine powder in can be placed in a film, a medium and literally painted on, or into an extruded high energy/high temperature cutting cord.

Additionally because its performance, unlike conventional explosives, can be tuned it can perform as an explosive as well as a high energy heat source. More simply - it releases much more energy per unit of time than standard thermite.

Your photograph of one of the alleged hijackers proves nothing as we both know it was taken at a different airport than any of the flights of 911 originated from. Oh, and please show us where his name is on any of the Passenger Manifests. Of course we both know it is not there and so you cannot produce that which does not exist.

Your photo of a cutting torch shows it cutting a straight line in a steel block. It does not show it cutting the beam in the photo above.

The angular cut cited as evidence of a conspiracy is a straight line on a steel structural member. Whether the item being cut is a steel structural member or a steel block, or it's a 45 degree angle or a vertical angle, is quite beside the point. Both cuts are straight with little dribblings of slag on their edges.

Furthermore the publisher of the steel block cutting saw the entire photograph collection of the only photographer allowed into the WTC center collapse post- crash. The photographer and the debunker confirm there were no angular or straight line cuts until the cleanup crews began their work. Then the cleanup crews used cutting torches, which is where the CT photo comes from.

The cutting torch is shown in several different photos I posted making exactly the same types of cuts as the angular cut. Rotating the cut 45 degrees changes nothing.

Also note that it leaves very little slag as opposed to the cut beam where we can see that a very significant amount of slag at the point the beam was severed.

Thermite producing molten iron which flows freely according to gravity leaves 10 times more slag than any cut. There is no such slag residue from any thermite in the CT angular cut photo.

Your photo of a burning pool of, presumably, thermite is also misleading for a couple of reasons:

A. Thermite for cutting operations is produced as a cord which you can then wrap around that which you want to cut.

Thermite can't be packed vertically to make vertical cuts. Again. Once thermite starts burning molten iron is produced which flows according to gravity, not how it was packed.

You have no pictures of thermite making vertical cuts, because it can't be done so there can't be any pictures.

B. Nano-thermite has some distinctly different characteristics:

It burns hotter than standard thermite.

Wrong.

And since it is a micro-fine powder in can be placed in a film, a medium and literally painted on, or into an extruded high energy/high temperature cutting cord.

Additionally because its performance, unlike conventional explosives, can be tuned it can perform as an explosive as well as a high energy heat source.

All your alleged information is fromo one thoroughly discredited source: Niels Harritt.

Harritt himself cannot say anything about how "nano themite" is made or what its specific properties are. In a TV interview he defers all discussion to the US government. However the US government does not claim anything about "nano- themiite" other than they are working on it. It has not had anything published, its information is not classified, and there are no identified items which use it.

Furthermore, Harritt got his initial start in his "911 research" by looking at a highly edited and manipulated CT disc his girlfriend/wife put into the CD player. Yeah, that's some reseacher all right.

More simply - it releases much more energy per unit of time than standard thermite.
Wrong.

Your photograph of one of the alleged hijackers proves nothing as we both know it was taken at a different airport than any of the flights of 911 originated from. Oh, and please show us where his name is on any of the Passenger Manifests. Of course we both know it is not there and so you cannot produce that which does not exist.

Atta used several different names and had several different passports. He also reported his original passport lost so he could get a new one not showing his travels. On September 11 he transfered from Portland Maine Airport to the New York Flight 11.

Two separate flight attendants described the hijackers, gave seat numbers, and some names in recorded phone calls. Minutiae about paperwork pales in comparison to eyewitness recorded testimony as the events were happening real time.

Hijackers in the September 11 Attacks

Two flight attendants called the American Airlines reservation desk during the hijacking.

Betty Ong reported that "the four hijackers had come from first- class seats: 2A, 2B, 9A, and 9B."[5]

Flight attendant Amy Sweeney called a flight services manager at Logan Airport in Boston and described them as Middle Eastern.[5] She gave the staff the seat numbers and they pulled up the ticket and credit card info of the hijackers, identifying Mohamed Atta al-Sayed.[6]

Mohamed Atta was heard speaking over the air traffic control system, broadcasting messages he intended for the passengers.[7]

Hers is a partial list of passengers on Flight 77, reported by USA Today.

None of them was ever seen by their families after the aircraft took off. Many of them got funeral remains during and after the investigation.

What happened to them if Flight 77 did not crash into the Pentagon as stated.

Wrong again Buzzard Breath. As now seems par for the course you attempt to twist other people's positions into a strawman and then attack the strawman. Did I refer to Niels Haritt in my post? Well?

I drew on several papers none of which were written by Niels Haritt although I might also reasonably point out the science is not refuted by ad hominem attacks. If the journal that published it is questionable that does not prove the data false it proves the journal questionable.

Combustion characteristics of A1 nanoparticles and nanocomposite A1+MoO3 thermites

Tunability of Nanoenergetic Materials (pdf 228k)

Initiator Project Description (pdf 62k)

Interestingly NIST has some of the top people in the nano-thermite field and yet they are mum on the subject. Although a lot of the work they have done is for military research and is classified, but they could address the basic question as to the presence of aluminothermic Super Thermite (which is the other name used for it) but they have not and very likely will not, because to do so and maintain the NIST stonewall they would have to lie, and lies would be provably false. Most interesting.

And again you use misleading graphics to misrepresent what can be done with the technology. High energy aluminothermic compounds as used in a very small scale petri dish compared against a flaming pile is a dishonest comparison. This is the logical fallacy known as the false or Weak Analogy. One of the most interesting properties of nano-thermites is their tunability i.e., it can be made with any metal oxide and different results can be achieved - from simple heating on a michrochip to use as a component in a solid state detonator, to creating a high energy explosive. Although in your case I suspect the misrepresentation is no mistake and purely intentional. At this point you are simply clutching at straws launching ad hominem attacks against a strawman source I have not used nor referred to except in one secondary reference many many posts back in the thread.

As for the sulfur issue - all in context. Removing an individual datum from its context allows for a wonderful way to take one datum in isolation. By stripping away the relevant contextual and associated data it allows for a multiplicity of mischiefs and the presentation of a false conclusion. So, the drywall had sulfur in it. Did it have microspheres of iron/steel, which are only created at high temperatures, too? Did the drywall also have nano particles of FeO3 as part of its make-up? That also was also found, in context, with the sulfur and the high temperature microspheres?

I think it nicely underscores the strength of your vacuous counter that you have to resort to Strawman Arguments, Argumentum Ad Hominem, Guilt by Association, and Red Herrings to try to counter an evidence based argument.

Yoo hoo, fuckwit.

Niels H. Harrit just happens to be the lead person on your only so called "peer reviewed publication" (a lie, it's a actually a pay to print publication) that's ever been published anywhere.

As such he is the leader of the k00kcrowd pushing the thermite angle. So Harritt's own research motives, and processes, and his qualifications in the field are very open to questioning. He started the whole $hitpile of crappy "research" that everybody else is running around parroting.

But instead of acknowledging that Harrit is the ring leader of the particular CT talking point, you say "Boo hoo, I never quoted Harritt you big meanie," and start your usual word salad alleging how poor little you is being victimized by false arguments which are actually right on point arguments you can't refute and therefore wish to dismiss with your usual "poor me, poor CT's" shtick.

Your next "source," "Combustion characteristics of A1 nanoparticles and nanocomposite A1+MoO3 thermites" happens to say on its lead page

Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Texas Tech University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

So now somebody writing a glorified term paper, who doesn't even have PhD, trying to get a PhD, is your backup for debunked Kook in Chief Niels Harrit.

Heeeeeeyyyyy. Wait a minute. I thought all the PhD's who say that Harritt is full of $hit are eebil gubmint sell outs and false scientists.

So why are you quoting a glorified term paper of somebody trying to join their ranks?

LOLOL.

Although a lot of the work they have done is for military research and is classified, but they could address the basic question as to the presence of aluminothermic Super Thermite (which is the other name used for it) but they have not and very likely will not, because to do so and maintain the NIST stonewall they would have to lie, and lies would be provably false.

Finally, the Harrit debunking link I posted, which you never bothered to watch in your haste to claim victim status, explicitly states Harrit's research is not only defective in its hasty conculsions about how sulfur and iron are present be found, it is equally defective in not explaining the absensce of "thermate ingredients" aluminum oxide 41% and barium nitrate 29%. Cited at 2:10 in the "Niels Harrit Debunked" video above.

There is zero evidence Harrit supplies, of either of these byproducts being present, while actually they should be found in major quantities. If there are between 10 and 100 tons of unignited thermite, where are the tens of tons of ingredients aluminum oxide and barium nitrate, hmm?

So not only does Harrit fail to explain the normal and natural presence of substances he alleges to be thermite components, he fails to explain why other components and by products are not found or reported in any quantities at all.

QED.

pwned.

Exactly! Jewish Bolshevists murdered 20 million Christian Russians. What happened in Russia is almost exactly what is happening in the U.S. today, except there won't be that kind of genocide because all of us have guns and modern communications.

Instead, we're dealing with a Third World invasion of people of IQs of 85 to 89, and they want to destroy us. Yet people are wasting their time and labor with hallucinations about thousands of people engaging in impossible conspiracies about remote-controlled airplanes and explosives in the WTC.

That's actually true. In terms of warfare, the 9-11 attacks are insignificant compared to say, the Battle of Stalingrad, in which there were more casualties than all of America's war combined.

Yet I am amazed at the number of Americans simply obsessed with trying to prove the US government was behind 9-11, while in the meantime this country is being destroyed by Third World immigration and the politically-connected superrich exporting the middle class to China.

None of them was ever seen by their families after the aircraft took off. Many of them got funeral remains during and after the investigation.

What happened to them if Flight 77 did not crash into the Pentagon as stated.

I believe that these were the first accidents of jet planes full of highly- refined kerosene crashing into buildings, hence, the unusual patterns of destruction found at the crash sites.

Thanks for the pings everybody and this concludes my appearance in this thread :-)

Recently, the US Supreme Court denied a class action suit against Saudia Arabia by the same families. Of course, Kagan (a BS artist par excellent) argued for the outcome.

June 29, 2009, 2:23 p.m. EST Statement by Counsel for the Family of John P. O'Neill in Response to U.S. Supreme Court's Refusal to Hear 9/11 Victims' Case Against Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Others

PHILADELPHIA, June 29, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The following is a statement by Jerry S. Goldman of Anderson Kill & Olick, P.C., counsel to the family of John P. O'Neill, Sr.:

We are disappointed by today's decision by the United States Supreme Court to refuse to hear the case brought by the family of the late American hero, John P. O'Neill, on behalf of the victims of 9/11 against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and others. Federal Insurance Company, et al., v. Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, et al., No. 08-640 (6/29/09).

We are saddened to see that the Court declined to apply its traditional standards for accepting a case for review. We assume that it relied upon the arguments propounded by the Executive branch and the defendants to deny the 9/11 victims their day in Court against certain sovereign nations, such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, that we allege materially support terrorists.

We note, however, that there are still cases pending in the lower courts against other sovereign nations unaffected by the Supreme Court's ruling.

We note, too, that there are still cases pending against other defendants seeking to hold them accountable for their actions in assisting Al Qaeda.

At the Supreme Court, the Justice Department argued that the decision of the Second Circuit was only of limited impact on the other defendants in the case. We can only assume that the Justice Department will be consistent with the arguments that they propounded before the Supreme Court. Similarly, we are looking forward to their filings as to the scope of sovereign immunity.

We are optimistic that the lower courts will allow the rest of the lawsuit to proceed, as we believe that it is obvious that a United States court is the appropriate forum for hearing claims brought for harms suffered by individuals and businesses on American soil, whether against the terrorists who hijacked planes to wreak death and mass destruction, or against those, who provided the material support enabling terrorists to wreak death and destruction.

We look forward to finally proceeding with discovery and allowing justice to prevail.

Considering the fact we've sent trillions of dollars of our wealth to Saudia Arabia for their oil instead of drilling for our own, it's fitting we should get some back, especially since the Saudis used that money to fund the Wahabis that attacked us on 9-11.

Your YouTube video "expert" is a moron.

First off, the squibs appear BEFORE the building collapses, thus they are not caused by air pressure from the collapse.

Secondly, the commerical demolitions are more than likely using commercial grade explosives, rather than a military grade explosive such as C4. That is why their squibs "hang" in the air, since they create more smoke than something like C4.

Have you ever seen a hand grenade explode? They make NO smoke, just one HUGE bang. They are filled with C4.

Yet another strawman argument.

I listened to an interview at the time of publication and Dr. Jones was perfectly up front about it, but the researchers felt they had no choice, which of course your depunkers won't mention, as no controlled mainstream journal would even look at the evidence. Not that the evidence does not exist but simply that the journals, published by people who rely on government money, were not interested in a truth that might affect their personal "Rice Bowl" i.e., government grant money.

Ever heard that every single PhD at Steven Jones' University, Brigham Young,

No, hadn't heard that - I was aware of the 50 or so faculty of BYU who signed a letter supporting him. No one has disproven him. He's been called names and villified by government shills like yourself, but he has never been disproven. Those who have spoken against him said they do not support his hypothesis however, they have never said that they have disproved his hypothesis. And a RubeToob video is not a scientific paper, and using strawmen is not a logically sound argument.

Kind of like getting rid of slippery slimy slugs?

Too bad we can't spray him over the net

Or put him in a jar and watch him scurry about.

9/11 was an inside job. Anyone who argues otherwise to defend the perpetrators should be ashamed of themselves.

I wager it was the chemtrail gases or the FEMA plots and plans or mayhaps crop circles from outer space controlling the CFR and the UN and the Congress and the courts and even the Oral orifice beyond the Rothschild and the Bilderberger.

I think you have it right, we are doomed. The powers that be have destroyed us................... the issue could NEVER be a pile of shit voters that can't read or write.

No.

It was explosives that brought the twin towers and building 7 down and they blamed it on airplanes hijacked by an imaginary terrorist group.

How were they imaginary since the US State Department permitted all of them into the USA without papers other than piles of BS?

Have you ever seen a hand grenade explode? They make NO smoke, just one HUGE bang. They are filled with C4.

Show me any C4 fragments or scorch marks.

First off, the squibs appear BEFORE the building collapses, thus they are not caused by air pressure from the collapse.

And since the fake "squibs" occured at the same time the floors pancaked, the CT "Squibs" aren't real and the CT's are full of it.

One of the major consequences of the 9/11 movement has been to draw enormous amounts of energy and effort away from activism directed to real and ongoing crimes of state, and their institutional background, crimes that are far more serious than blowing up the WTC would be, if there were any credibility to that thesis. That is, I suspect, why the 9/11 movement is treated far more tolerantly by centers of power than is the norm for serious critical and activist work. Noam Chomsky

Other than a solitary $800 "pay to get published" blurb out of a Dhubai hole- in-the-wall?

Yet another strawman argument.

You're the one just finished lionizing PhD's and quoting a glorified term paper of a PhD candidate - not even a real PhD. Which paper, FYI because I'm sure you never bothered to actually read it, says zero about nano-thermite being used in WTC buildings.

So how many PhD's do you kooks have in your corner worldwide, and how many say you're a bunch of blithering idiots who neither understand basic scientific procedures and methods, or can competently gather facts, data, and follow suitable protocols to convert the information into credible and verifiable conclusions...

9/11 was an inside job. Anyone who argues otherwise to defend the perpetrators should be ashamed of themselves.

As I have repeatedly stated

(1) The road to the 911 attacks goes through Washington and Tel Aviv, but also has stops in Cairo, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and OBL training camps in Afghanistan, and
(2) As Noam Chomsky states, amateur internet 911 whodunits divert energy and efforts away from more substantive and fruitful pursuits, such as changing policies and mindsets, and marginalize people wanting substantive changes into a perceived class of single- issue lobotomized k00ks constantly parroting their groupthink to each other.

One earns a Phd. by doing original Phd. level work.

FYI because I'm sure you never bothered to actually read it, says zero about nano-thermite being used in WTC buildings.

Uh, like "duh" duuuuuuude. That papers were cited because they back up my points on the characteristics of Super Thermite which you were trying to weasel away from with your standard banal disinfo tactics.

As for the rest of your incoherent hissy fit the data is what the data is.

Your glorified term paper has nothing to do with the suitability of this substance to be used to perpetrate the largest building failures in American history.

Your continuous introduction of word dumps, attempting to obfuscate your failure to support your arguments, with specific and observable FACTS, is duly noted.
