With a Physics backround, I had thought that theoretically there might be a possibility, which became a probability, which in time became a testable hypothesis which in fact has tested the "official Conspiracy" to be a complete fabrication.
~ thanks for this *s I like his attitude and confidence "... this isn't the smoking gun, this is a loaded gun ..." "... you can't fudge this kinda science ..." :0)
~ the internet was first filled with light, beauty 'n knowledge, from pure data to simple poetry, the best of us ran with this project, caught 'them' totally by surprise ~ an entire war has already been fought and.....
It's been a long, long struggle, but I think the fuse is finally catching spark.
After the way "they" proceeded to murder the world's microbiologists to keep the truth about AIDS, lethal but mandatory ANTHRAX vaccines and other coming attractions secret, I fear for the safety of these folks who speak up.
"They" won't have to "suicide" or "accidentally slip into a volcano" very many before the rest get the message and realize that questioning the 9/11 religion is an affront to a vengeful god.

Look at Europe doing its damndest to disengage itself from Afghanistan and Iraq. Too many Europeans already know what's up. It's going to be ever more difficult to keep up pretenses. Political support for this very expensive effort is falling through the floor.

and yet Obama has asked for $83.4 billion for Afghanistan
Obama remains alive at the pleasure of the MIC (in the Afghan case, you can add "narco" in front of MIC and he damned well knows that. A guy this in love with himself does NOT have a "martyr complex." He may want to emulate Lincoln in some ways, but he's not going to make a habit of metaphorically going to Ford's Theatre.

You yourself have said this cut was made from workers removing debris in the cleanup. Damn you are dumb! You know very well nano-thermite did not make this cut.
That is an assertion about which neither you nor I are able to make an authoritative judgement.
Thermite MELTS steel...it globs it...it does not make clean cuts...it's fact...someone posted a video here of thermite being put onto a car hood...look at the result...
LOL! Funny. A website dedicated to keeping the government's conspiracy theory alive. Too bad they have no facts on their side, only shills like you. LOL!

At least the folks in Denmark are getting some good press coverage. Hopefully, the story will be making it around the world, including the US via the alternative press. Thanks for the link.

Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe pp.7-31 (25) Authors: Niels H. Harrit, Jeffrey Farrer, Steven E. Jones, Kevin R. Ryan, Frank M. Legge, Daniel Farnsworth, Gregg Roberts, James R. Gourley, Bradley R. Larsen doi: 10.2174/1874412500902010007 Abstract We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in all the samples we have studied of the dust produced by the destruction of the World Trade Center. Examination of four of these samples, collected from separate sites, is reported in this paper. These red/gray chips show marked similarities in all four samples. One sample was collected by a Manhattan resident about ten minutes after the collapse of the second WTC Tower, two the next day, and a fourth about a week later. The properties of these chips were analyzed using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The red material contains grains approximately 100 nm across which are largely iron oxide, while aluminum is contained in tiny plate-like structures. Separation of components using methyl ethyl ketone demonstrated that elemental aluminum is present. The iron oxide and aluminum are intimately mixed in the red material. When ignited in a DSC device the chips exhibit large but narrow exotherms occurring at approximately 430 °C, far below the normal ignition temperature for conventional thermite. Numerous iron-rich spheres are clearly observed in the residue following the ignition of these peculiar red/gray chips. The red portion of these chips is found to be an unreacted thermitic material and highly energetic.

CONCLUSIONS(from the original paper)
We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in significant numbers in dust associated with the World Trade Center destruction. We have applied SEM/XEDS and other methods to characterize the small-scale structure and chemical signature of these chips, especially of their red component.
The red material is most interesting and has the following characteristics: 1. It is composed of aluminum, iron, oxygen, silicon and carbon. Lesser amounts of other potentially reactive elements are sometimes present, such as potassium, sulfur, lead, barium and copper.
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 occurred. 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 thin platelike structures. The small size of the iron oxide particles qualifies the material to be characterized as nanothermite or super- thermite.
5. 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.
6. From the presence of elemental aluminum and iron oxide in the red material, we conclude that it contains the ingredients of thermite.
7. As measured using DSC, the material ignites and reacts vigorously at a temperature of approximately 430 °C, 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 900 °C) but very likely a form of super-thermite.
8. After igniting several red/gray chips in a DSC run to 700 °C, we found numerous iron-rich spheres and spheroids in the residue, indicating that a very hightemperature reaction had occurred, since the iron-rich product clearly must have been molten to form these shapes. In several spheres, elemental iron was verified since the iron content significantly exceeded the oxygen content.
We conclude that a high-temperature reduction-oxidation reaction has occurred in the heated chips, namely, the thermite reaction.
9. The spheroids produced by the DSC tests and by the flame test have an XEDS signature (Al, Fe, O, Si, C) which is depleted in carbon and aluminum relative to the original red material. This chemical signature strikingly matches the chemical signature of the spheroids produced by igniting commercial thermite, and also matches the signatures of many of the microspheres found in the WTC dust [5].
10. The carbon content of the red material indicates that an organic substance is present. This would be expected for super-thermite formulations in order to produce high gas pressures upon ignition and thus make them explosive. The nature of the organic material in these chips merits further exploration. We note that it is likely also an energetic material, in that the total energy release sometimes observed in DSC tests exceeds the theoretical maximum energy of the classic thermite reaction.
Based on these observations, we conclude that the red layer of the red/gray chips we have discovered in the WTC dust is active, unreacted thermitic material, incorporating nanotechnology, and is a highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material.
