Conclusions on World Trade Center 7?

August 22nd, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Unexplained

Federal investigators said Thursday they have solved a mystery of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks: the collapse of World Trade Center building 7, a source of long-running conspiracy theories.

The 47-story trapezoid-shaped building sat north of the World Trade Center towers, across Vesey Street in lower Manhattan. On Sept. 11, it was set on fire by falling debris from the burning towers, but skeptics have long argued that fire and debris alone should not have brought down such a big steel-and-concrete structure.

Federal investigators said Thursday they have resolved a lingering question from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks: What caused World Trade Center 7 to collapse? They determined the building, which sat north of the World Trade Center towers, was brought down by fire started by debris from the twin towers.

Federal investigators said Thursday they have resolved a lingering question from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks: What caused World Trade Center 7 to collapse? They determined the building, which sat north of the World Trade Center towers, was brought down by fire started by debris from the twin towers.

“The reason for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 is no longer a mystery,” said Dr. Shyam Sunder, the lead investigator on the NIST team.
Investigators also concluded that the collapse of the nearby towers broke the city water main, leaving the sprinkler system in the bottom half of the building without water.

The building has been the subject of a wide range of conspiracy theories for the last seven years, partly because the collapse occurred about seven hours after the twin towers came down. That fueled suspicion that someone intentionally blew up the building in a controlled demolition.
Critics like Mike Berger of the group 9/11 Truth said he wasn’t buying the government’s explanation.
“Their explanation simply isn’t sufficient. We’re being lied to,” he said, arguing that there is other evidence suggesting explosives were used on the building.
Sunder said his team investigated the possibility that an explosion inside the building brought it down, but found there was no large boom or other noise that would have occurred with such a detonation. Investigators also created a giant computer model of the collapse, based partly on news footage from CBS News, that they say shows internal column failure brought down the building.

Investigators also ruled out the possibility that the collapse was caused by fires from a substantial amount of diesel fuel that was stored in the building, most of it for generators for the city’s emergency operations command center.

The 77-page report concluded that the fatal blow to the building came when the 13th floor collapsed, weakening a critical steel support column that led to catastrophic failure.

“When this critical column buckled due to lack of floor supports, it was the first domino in the chain,” said Sunder.
The NIST investigators issued more than a dozen building recommendations as a result of their inquiry, most of which repeat earlier recommendations from their investigation into the collapse of the two large towers.
In both instances, investigators concluded that extreme heat caused some steel beams to lose strength, causing further failures throughout the buildings until the entire structure succumbed.
The recommendations include building skyscrapers with stronger connections and framing systems to resist the effects of thermal expansion, and structural systems designed to prevent damage to one part of a building from spreading to other parts.
A spokeswoman for the leaseholder of the World Trade Center, developer Larry Silverstein, praised the government’s work.
“Hopefully this thorough report puts to rest the various 9/11 conspiracy theories, which dishonor the men and women who lost their lives on that terrible day,” said Silverstein spokeswoman Dara McQuillen.
In discussing the findings, the investigator Sunder acknowledged that some may still not be convinced, but insisted the science behind their findings is “incredibly conclusive.”
“The public should really recognize the science is really behind what we have said,” he said, adding: “The obvious stares you in the face.”

Canadians demanding new 9/11 investigation

June 18th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Security, Unexplained

New Democratic Party Deputy House Leader Libby Davies delivers a Parliamentary Petition signed by over 500 Canadians demanding a new 9/11 investigation, in Canada’s House of Commons during Routine Proceedings at 1:10 pm on June 10, 2008

Here is the full text of the petition, available to sign at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/canada911truth/

PETITION TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS
IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED

We, the undersigned citizens of Canada draw the attention of the House to the following:

THAT, scientific and eyewitness evidence shows that the 9/11 Commission Report is a fraudulent document and that those behind the report are consciously or unconsciously guilty of covering up what happened on 9/11/2001. This evidence overwhelmingly supports the conclusion that World Trade Center Towers 1, 2 and 7 were brought down by demolition explosives and that the official theory of the towers collapsing from the airplanes and the ensuing fires is irrefutably false.

We further believe that elements within the US government were complicit in the murder of thousands of people on 9/11/2001. This event brought Canada into the so-called “War on Terror,” it changed our domestic and foreign policies for the worse, and it will continue to have negative consequences for us all if we refuse to look at the facts.

THEREFORE, your petitioners call upon Parliament to:

(1) Immediately launch its own investigation into the events of 9/11/2001 on behalf of the 24 Canadian citizens murdered in New York City.

(2) Act lawfully on the findings of its own investigation by helping to pursue the guilty parties in the international courts.

Alex Jones Interview With Alleged 9-11 Insider

May 22nd, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Intelligence, Unexplained

Keep in mind when reading this, that the man being interviewed is no two-bit internet conspiracy buff.

Stanley Hilton was a senior adviser to Sen Bob Dole (R) and has personally known Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz for decades. This courageous man has risked his professional reputation, and possibly his life, to get this information out to people.

The following is from his latest visit to Alex Jones’ radio show.

Note: All honor to Stanley Hilton for risking his life so that we may know the truth of 9/11.

The Bush Junta Unmasked

“This (9/11) was all planned. This was a government-ordered operation. Bush personally signed the order. He personally authorized the attacks. He is guilty of treason and mass murder.” –Stanley Hilton

Alex Jones interview of Stanley Hilton, attorney for 911 taxpayers’ lawsuit

AJ: He is back with us. He is former Bob Dole’s chief of staff, very successful counselor, lawyer. He represents hundreds of the victims families of 9/11. He is suing Bush for involvement in 9/11. Now a major Zogby poll out - half of New Yorkers think the government was involved in 9/11. And joining us for the next 35 minutes, into the next hour, is Stanley Hilton. Stanley, it’s great to have you on with us.

SH: Glad to be on.

Newt Dismisses 9-11 Theories

May 1st, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Security

It’s the only response a high-ranking neocon can provide, considering all the evidence and questions unanswered: anybody who believes 9/11 was an inside job, or for that matter questions the official fairy tale version, is insane.

And this is precisely what Newt Gingrich told Matt Lepacek of We Are Change — he is insane. No debate, no further conversation. He’s crazy and so are millions of other people, from the guy who has questions about the irrationality of fires toppling steel buildings to the full-blown 9/11 truth activist. Nuts. Bonkers. Not worth more than a few dismissive words.

Matt asked Sir Gingrich about his membership in the CFR, if he is indeed a 33 degree Mason, and if he ever visited Bohemian Grove. Nope, said Newt. He is not a Mason. And nope, he never visited Bohemian Grove. He didn’t answer the question about the CFR. Because he ranks high on the CFR totem pole.

Stock market

Newt was telling a fib. Because he did indeed attend Bohemian Grove. He was in attendance back in 1995 when Dubya and Senior gave “lakeside talks.” A photo (at right) was published in the Annals of the Bohemian Club (vol 7), 1987-1996. Bet Newt didn’t know we knew about that one. Oops. See more photos and a write-up at Infowars.

When not lounging at the Grove, Newt has a prestigious and very relevant position over at the Council on Foreign Relations. He is on the “Terrorism Task Force,” and it figures of course because he is a full-blown neocon. In addition to the CFR, Gingrich rubs elbows over at the American Enterprise Institute — when Bush mentions his “minds,” picked from AEI, he is talking about guys like Newt. The AEI is a primo neocon organization, counting as members other sinister figures, such as John Bolton, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle, John Yoo, and David Frum. So upset was Frum the other day, he physically attacked Stewart Howe and his camera for asking what Newt would likely characterize as insane questions, questions Mr. Frum, who should be arrested for assault, did not want to answer because he is guilty as sin.

In fact, Newt Gingrich is a war criminal at large. He was Bush’s Defense Policy Board — along with other war criminals, such as Richard Perle (as chairman), James Woolsey, Ken Adelman, Eliot Cohen, and the pathetic Dan Quayle — and this coterie of hand-picked neocons set in motion the invasion of Iraq and the ultimate murder of more than a million Iraqis. Gingrich compounded his crimes by working with the now-defunct Committee for the Liberation of Iraq and the recently revived Committee on the Present Danger. The former was a PNAC contrivance run by former Lockheed Martin vice president Bruce Jackson and stinking with perfidious neocons, including William Kristol, Robert Kagan, Joe Lieberman, and the above mentioned Richard “Prince of Darkness” Perle and James Woolsey. All serious war criminals of Nuremberg caliber.

Well, at least Newt didn’t attack Matt, not like David Frum would have probably done in the same situation. Instead, he refused to make eye contact, dismissed his questioner as insane, and denied two out of three accusations pointing to his position in the New World Order, neocon division. Newt can play both sides of the fence, though.

No doubt, come January of 2009, he will play with Hillary’s team as well. But then Hillary says the sort of things Newt wants to hear. She wants to bomb Iran – the word she used, I believe, was “obliterate” — and that’s precisely the next objective of the neocons.

I bet they realize their objective before Hillary gets anywhere near the White House.
