In this post I was talking about bldg. 2, the second tower not bldg 7.

The second collapse was odd and not a function of the first collapse. Furthermore its collapse was more symmetric about the principle axis of the structure than the first, so Larry's hypothesis about the rain of debris is not credible. (however, I am in general agreeing with Day about the event . . . and that is a bit odd too . . . :lol: )
If you really want to convince yourself of this go here and advance the video to 9:15.

There was no thermite set after the initial hit and following conflagration of jet fuel. It was not there before the collision; the structure was compromised by an internal explosion of jet fuel, as I previously described, followed by layers of structure pancaking on top of the ones below.

Truthmiracle- its great you wish there was another answer and cant admit that 4 guys with box cutters could take down the wtc but thats what happened. Everything you and the truthers are throwing out there as "evidence" has been easily debunked. Please present me one SOLID piece of evidence and I will consider your ideas. Until you can do that stop posting complicated, convulted, bullshit that is hard to disseminate which just confuses people. I mean surely you must have one piece of solid, straightforward evidence that hasn't already been debunked by the above link or numerous other sources.....

Not hardly... again, virtually EVERYTHING in the official conspiracy theory (OCT) is highly suspect if not already proven outright false. Nanothermite is just what should be the final nail in the coffin, in a sane world... I'm working a lot at a physical job in the heat, trying somewhat futilely to keep up training for climbing, and doing other truth work and I can only spend a limited time on this forum. But, when I have the time and energy, I will put it in here and answer everything and anything you want me to answer, to the best of my ability. (It would help if you were rational...) I want to get to your list of what "truthers believe". It's utter nonsense to try to put all of us in one box. There are a lot of disagreements within the movement (This is a good thing!!! It's a hallmark of a group of thinking people, with different opinions.) You have some truth in your list, and also some disinformation. I will do my best to address both.

For now, hear what Paul Craig Roberts has to say, cuz I'm too tired to type and 8:30 is a good bed time for me. He was assistant secretary of the treasury under Reagan and was a Wall St. Journal editor, among many other things. I invite everyone to check out his bio.

(This is not his best work, IMO, but just his most recent, and sounds good for this crowd.)


While we were not watching, conspiracy theory has undergone Orwellian redefinition.

A "conspiracy theory" no longer means an event explained by a conspiracy. Instead, it now means any explanation, or even a fact, that is out of step with the government's explanation and that of its media pimps.

For example, online news broadcasts of RT have been equated with conspiracy theories by the New York Times simply because RT reports news and opinions that the New York Times does not report and the US government does not endorse.

In other words, as truth becomes uncomfortable for government and its Ministry of Propaganda, truth is redefined as conspiracy theory, by which is meant an absurd and laughable explanation that we should ignore.

When piles of carefully researched books, released government documents, and testimony of eye witnesses made it clear that Lee Harvey Oswald was not President John F. Kennedy's assassin, the voluminous research, government documents, and verified testimony was dismissed as "conspiracy theory."

In other words, the truth of the event was unacceptable to the authorities and to the Ministry of Propaganda that represents the interests of authorities.

The purest example of how Americans are shielded from truth is the media's (including many Internet sites') response to the large number of professionals who find the official explanation of September 11, 2001 inconsistent with everything they, as experts, know about physics, chemistry, structural engineering, architecture, fires, structural damage, the piloting of airplanes, the security procedures of the United States, NORAD's capabilities, air traffic control, airport security, and other matters. These experts, numbering in the thousands, have been shouted down by know-nothings in the media who brand the experts as "conspiracy theorists."

This, despite the fact that the official explanation endorsed by the official media is the most extravagant conspiracy theory in human history.

Let's take a minute to re-acquaint ourselves with the official explanation, which is not regarded as a conspiracy theory despite the fact that it comprises an amazing conspiracy. The official truth is that a handful of young Muslim Arabs who could not fly airplanes, mainly Saudi Arabians who came neither from Iraq nor from Afghanistan, outwitted not only the CIA and the FBI, but also all 16 US intelligence agencies and all intelligence agencies of US allies including Israel's Mossad, which is believed to have penetrated every terrorist organization and which carries out assassinations of those whom Mossad marks as terrorists.

In addition to outwitting every intelligence agency of the United States and its allies, the handful of young Saudi Arabians outwitted the National Security Council, the State Department, NORAD, airport security four times in the same hour on the same morning, air traffic control, caused the US Air Force to be unable to launch interceptor aircraft, and caused three well-built steel-structured buildings, including one not hit by an airplane, to fail suddenly in a few seconds as a result of limited structural damage and small, short-lived, low-temperature fires that burned on a few floors.

The Saudi terrorists were even able to confound the laws of physics and cause WTC building seven to collapse at free-fall speed for several seconds, a physical impossibility in the absence of explosives used in controlled demolition.

The story that the government and the media have told us amounts to a gigantic conspiracy; really a script for a James Bond film. Yet, anyone who doubts this improbable conspiracy theory is defined into irrelevance by the obedient media.

Anyone who believes an architect, structural engineer, or demolition expert who says that the videos show that the buildings are blowing up, not falling down, anyone who believes a Ph.D. physicist who says that the official explanation is inconsistent with known laws of physics, anyone who believes expert pilots who testify that non-pilots or poorly-qualified pilots cannot fly airplanes in such maneuvers, anyone who believes the 100 or more first-responders who testify that they not only heard explosions in the towers but personally experienced explosions, anyone who believes University of Copenhagen nano-chemist Niels Harrit who reports finding unreacted nano-thermite in dust samples from the WTC towers, anyone who is convinced by experts instead of by propaganda is dismissed as a kook.

In America today, and increasingly throughout the Western world, actual facts and true explanations have been relegated to the realm of kookiness. Only people who believe lies are socially approved and accepted as patriotic citizens.

Indeed, a writer or newscaster is not even permitted to report the findings of 9/11 skeptics. In other words, simply to report Professor Harrit's findings now means that you endorse them or agree with them. Everyone in the US print and TV media knows that he/she will be instantly fired if they report Harrit's findings, even with a laugh. Thus, although Harrit has reported his findings on European television and has lectured widely on his findings in Canadian universities, the fact that he and the international scientific research team that he led found unreacted nano-thermite in the WTC dust and have offered samples to other scientists to examine has to my knowledge never been reported in the American media.

Even Internet sites on which I am among the readers' favorites will not allow me to report on Harrit's findings.

As I reported earlier, I myself had experience with a Huffington Post reporter who was keen to interview a Reagan presidential appointee who was in disagreement with the Republican wars in the Middle East. After he published the interview that I provided at his request, he was terrified to learn that I had reported findings of 9/11 investigators. To protect his career, he quickly inserted on the online interview that my views on the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions could be dismissed as I had reported unacceptable findings about 9/11.

The unwillingness or inability to entertain any view of 9/11 different from the official view dooms to impotence many Internet sites that are opposed to the wars and to the rise of the domestic US police state. These sites, for whatever the reasons, accept the government's explanation of 9/11; yet, they try to oppose the "war on terror" and the police state which are the consequences of accepting the government's explanation. Trying to oppose the consequences of an event whose explanation you accept is an impossible task.

If you believe that America was attacked by Muslim terrorists and is susceptible to future attacks, then a "war on terror" and a domestic police state to root out terrorists become necessary to make Americans safe. The idea that a domestic police state and open-ended war might be more dangerous threats to Americans than terrorists is an impermissible thought.

A country whose population has been trained to accept the government's word and to shun those who question it is a country without liberty in its future.

I will continue to methodically plod through evidence on this thread, as time and energy allows.

If you're still reading, this is good also, by a veteran. (It's easier to read than to write :-)

(CINCINNATI, Ohio) - In John Farmer’s book: “The Ground Truth: The Story Behind America’s Defense on 9/11″, the author builds the inescapably convincing case that the official version... is almost entirely untrue...

The 9/11 Commission now tells us that the official version of 9/11 was based on false testimony and documents and is almost entirely untrue. The details of this massive cover-up are carefully outlined in a book by John Farmer, who was the Senior Counsel for the 9/11 Commission.

Farmer, Dean of Rutger Universities' School of Law and former Attorney General of New Jersey, was responsible for drafting the original flawed 9/11 report.

Does Farmer have cooperation and agreement from other members of the Commission? Yes. Did they say Bush ordered 9/11? No. Do they say that the 9/11 Commission was lied to by the FBI, CIA, Whitehouse and NORAD? Yes. Is there full documentary proof of this? Yes.

Farmer states...“at some level of the government, at some point in time…there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened... I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The [Norad air defense] tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years. This is not spin.”

The 9/11 Commission head, Thomas Kean, was the Republican governor of New Jersey. He had the following to say... “We to this day don’t know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Command] told us what they told us, it was just so far from the truth. . . " When Bush's own handpicked commission failed to go along with the cover up and requested a criminal investigation, why was nothing done?

9/11 Commission member and former US Senator, Bob Kerrey, says, "No one is more qualified to write the definitive book about the tragedy of 9/11 than John Farmer. Fortunately, he has done so. Even more fortunately the language is clear, alive and instructive for anyone who wants to make certain this never happens again."

With the only "official" 9/11 report now totally false, where do we go from here? Who is hurt by these lies? The families of the victims of 9/11 have fought, for years, to get to the truth. For years, our government has hidden behind lies and secrecy to deny them closure.



In 2006, The Washington Post reported..."Suspicion of wrongdoing ran so deep that the 10-member commission, in a secret meeting at the end of its tenure in summer 2004, debated referring the matter to the Justice Department for criminal investigation, according to several commission sources. Staff members and some commissioners thought that e-mails and other evidence provided enough probable cause to believe that military and aviation officials violated the law by making false statements to Congress and to the commission..."

What does Farmer's book tell us? Farmer offers no solutions, only a total and full rejection of what was told and his own his own ideas concerning the total failure of honesty on the part of the government, a government with something to hide.

Farmer never tells us what. Nobody could keep a job in the public sector speaking out more than Farmer has. What were Farmer's omissions? There are some. Now that we know that intelligence given the 9/11 Commission wasn't just lies from our own government but based on testimony coerced through torture from informants forced to back up a cover story now proven false, a pattern emerges.




We know that, immediately after 9/11, many more potential suspects and informants were flown directly to Saudi Arabia by Presidential order than were ever detained and questioned. We will never know what they could have said. Their testimony would have been vital to any real investigation were they not put beyond the reach of even Congress and the FBI.

Putting aside all other questions of recent evidence of CIA involvement with bin Laden prior to 9/11 or altered physical evidence involving the Pentagon attack, any failure to call to account the systematic perjury committed by dozens of top government officials, now exposed as a certainty is an offense to every American.

What do we know? We know the conjecture about 9/11 still stands but for certain, we know we were lied to, not in a minor way, but systematically as part of a plot covering up government involvement at nearly every level, perhaps gross negligence, perhaps something with darker intent.

Are we willing to live with another lie to go with the Warren Report, Iran Contra and so many others? Has the sacrifice of thousands more Americans, killed, wounded or irreparably damaged by a war knowingly built on the same lies from the same liars who misled the 9/11 Commission pushed us beyond willingness to confront the truth?

Have we yet found where the lies have begun and ended? There is no evidence of this, only evidence to the contrary. The lies live on and the truth will never be sought. The courage for that task has not been found.

Can anyone call themselves an American if they don't demand, even with the last drop of their blood, that the truth be found?

How long have we watered the Tree of Deceit with the blood of patriots?

Re: Daily Kos founder headed for rehab

Caribe,
My statement about building 7 " when thousands of tons of debris from the WTC came crashing into it" is not credible? Well, I guess you're right. I have no idea how many tons of debris hit it. But it certainly was struck and severely damaged by debris from the collapse of the towers. Statements from firefighters on the scene were along the lines that the building "looked untouched from one side, but had a 20 story tall hole in the side facing the trade centers, that was caused by falling debris, that there were fires present, and that due to creaking and groaning sounds coming from the building they decided that it would be much too dangerous to fight the fires due to the risk of collapse, and they abandoned all efforts to save the building." Call it what you will.

You know, I don't find it so odd at all that we seem to agree on more than a few things. :)

As for Truth's insane dissertation above, meh. What's interesting is the psychology behind the truther's beliefs. Beliefs that they hang onto in the face of irrefutable evidence that they are utterly and absolutely wrong. I think there are two basic groups, the charlatans, those that are making their living off of the "truth industry", and the TRUE BELIEVERS. I think that truthmiracle is in the second group, and that the founding notion is that it would have been impossible for a bunch of guys with box cutters to bring down these buildings. They are simply incapable of believing what they saw happen that day, so they construct in their minds a narative that they can accept. It's as simple as that.

O.K. One more quip before bed. (Caveot- I'm not going to take the time to look up all the references. They would take up many pages.) WIDELY reported in the mainstream media, bone fragments, identified by DNA as belonging to an undisclosed victim in the WTC buildings, found on a rooftop of another building far away.

How does a gravity driven collapse of a building shatter someone's bones into fragments centimeters long and cast them sideways a great distance?

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/06/nyreg ... mains.html

WIDELY UNREPORTED in the mainstream media, the lateral ejection of VERY many multi ton steel members of the twin towers. How does a gravity driven, natural collapse send very many multi-ton pieces of steel 600 ft. (Two football fields, end to end) sideways? (70-100+ mph clocked- sideways or lateral movement. Gravity pulls straight down... I thought we were all climbers here...)

P.S. These are not my ideas. These are facts which are completely independent of anyone's ideas, including mine. Nevertheless, I do not expect you to consider them.

Thank you Andrew. Do you also find it odd that most people still don't know about it?

Exactly.

Truthmiracle- why is it so hard to believe that human remains were found on the roof of another building? Did you see the video of the towers fall? You do not think they were capable of throwing a human hand bone(for example) a couple hundred feet? I looked at your link and expected the other building to be a mile away, from the sounds of the article you posted it was "just south". Here is a quote from that article;

"The building, at 130 Liberty Street, stands just south of where the twin towers once loomed, and intensive work began there last month to prepare for its demolition.
The towers rose nearly 800 feet above the roof of the building, which was showered with debris and remains on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001."

I dont see how you are presenting this as evidence that it was not a terrorist attack. So if the building didn't put the remains there what are you suggesting did? I still dont see the point.... So the government brought down the building then took the time to put someones hand bone on another building?

Utter nonsense.
