WTC Collapse A Controlled Demolition?

Morgan Reynolds Ph.D, former Bush Team Member Says WTC Collapse Likely A Controlled Demolition And ‘Inside Job’:

From the beginning, the Bush administration claimed that burning jet fuel caused the collapse of the towers. Although many independent investigators have disagreed, they have been hard pressed to disprove the government theory since most of the evidence was removed by FEMA prior to independent investigation.

Critics claim the Bush administration has tried to cover-up the evidence and the recent 9/11 Commission has failed to address the major evidence contradicting the official version of 9/11.

Some facts demonstrating the flaws in the government jet fuel theory include:

  • Photos showing people walking around in the hole in the North Tower where 10,000 gallons of jet fuel supposedly was burning..
  • When the South Tower was hit, most of the North Tower’s flames had already vanished, burning for only 16 minutes, making it relatively easy to contain and control without a total collapse.
  • The fire did not grow over time, probably because it quickly ran out of fuel and was suffocating, indicating without added explosive devices the firs could have been easily controlled.
  • FDNY fire fighters still remain under a tight government gag order to not discuss the explosions they heard, felt and saw. FAA personnel are also under a similar 9/11 gag order.
  • Even the flawed 9/11 Commission Report acknowledges that “none of the [fire] chiefs present believed that a total collapse of either tower was possible.”
  • Fire had never before caused steel-frame buildings to collapse except for the three buildings on 9/11, nor has fire collapsed any steel high rise since 9/11.
  • The fires, especially in the South Tower and WTC-7, were relatively small.
  • WTC-7 was unharmed by an airplane and had only minor fires on the seventh and twelfth floors of this 47-story steel building yet it collapsed in less than 10 seconds.
  • WTC-5 and WTC-6 had raging fires but did not collapse despite much thinner steel beams.
  • In a PBS documentary, Larry Silverstein, the WTC leaseholder, told the fire department commander on 9/11 about WTC-7 that. “may be the smartest thing to do is pull it,” slang for demolish it.
  • It’s difficult if not impossible for hydrocarbon fires like those fed by jet fuel (kerosene) to raise the temperature of steel close to melting.

  • Crazy stuff. I’ve written about 9/11 Conspiracies before.

    Debunking the 9/11 Conspiracies?

    Popular Mechanics examines popular conspiracy theories about Sept 11th. I have written about some of these theories before. Page 6 of the article addresses the Pentagon attack. It amazes me that one little picture of a scrap of metal is consider enough evidence that an 80 ton 757 airplane hit the Pentagon. The Progressive Mind examines the PM article and finds a number of flaws in their arguments. rense.com also has a write up on the PM article:

    The Pentagon parking lot video tape (which strangely fails to show a large Boeing aircraft) does show a huge white explosion-the unique sign of high explosives. An aircraft laden only with fuel gives off the red and black signature only-nothing white or bright.

    There are lots of unanswered questions about the attacks on September 11th and PM doesn’t answer any of them. They focus on debunking only those theories that are the weakest and fail to address any of the difficult questions.

    We all know Windows has more than it’s share of bugs and security holes. But have you ever wondered, if:

    1. Microsoft, was secretly spying on end-user machines?
    2. Big Brother deployment scenarios were real?
    3. M$ Windows was a type of bugging device?

    Then Top 47 Windows bugging functions, is for you my friend.

    The author suggests that alterations to M$ Windows may have coincided with antitrust cases and the reversal of the ruling to split Microsoft into two companies. Which then leads him to the question was Microsoft hijacked by the US government, CIA or NSA?

    Some of the points he brings up are definitely true and easily provable. Some require futher research to validate. If anyone knows of any articles or research that can prove or disprove any of this article, I would love to see them.

    Because you demanded it…. Fluoride!

    Joplin council passed the fluoridation of our water with no public vote. And they are letting the water company choose the type of fluoride used:

    It is interesting that the council, in allowing the water company to select the type of fluoride used, is sanctioning the use of fluorosilicic acid, also known as hydrofluorosilicic acid. In Escondido, CA citizens have filed a lawsuit claiming that hydrofluorosilicic acid with traces of arsenic and lead causes greater incidences of cancer and that their council didn’t look for other options. The trial is set for October 12, 2004. Source

    As most of my readers (all three of them) know I am totally opposed to fluoride. It is posion. Fluoride is an acute toxin with a rating slightly higher than that of lead. Check out this International Chemical Safety Card on Hydrosilicofluoric Acid:

    Exposure: AVOID ALL CONTACT! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!
    EFFECTS OF LONG-TERM OR REPEATED EXPOSURE: The substance may have effects on the bones and teeth, resulting in fluorosis.

    Yeah, I want this in my water. Not only is harmful to my health, it’s bad for my teeth causing Dental Fluorosis.

    DENTAL FLUOROSIS is increasing significantly in areas with and without artificially fluoridated water. It is caused by over-exposure to fluorides from all sources, e.g. fluoridated water, fluoridated tooth-paste, mouth rinses, drops, tablets, gels, sealants and fluoridated school milk programmes. Fluorides are also found in foodstuffs, beverages (particularly tea), medicines, (e.g. Prozac), anaesthetics, pesticides, herbicides and in the polluted air we breathe. Fluorides accumulate in the body. “No essential function for fluoride has been proven in humans.” Source

    The truth behind fluoride:

    In the early part of this century fluoride was recognized as a dominant industrial pollutant. It is very common in the earth’s crust and, whenever we mine raw materials, we bring up a lot of it. It is emitted from iron and steel manufacturing operations, from aluminum, copper, lead, and zinc manufacturing operations, and is a by- product of fertilizer….

    Instead of having it cost a pile of money to dispose of this toxic waste material (fluoride), some manufacturing industries are now making money by selling this toxic by-product to water companies as something that will help to prevent cavities by putting it into your drinking water….

    The issue of fluoride was never about saving children’s teeth; it was always about an industry-backed program to dispose of toxic waste. Source

    Thank you Operation Smiles and Joplin council for pushing this posion on me without a vote and using my tax dollars to do it.

    The Pentagon Conspiracy

    According to this flash video, it wasn’t a Boeing 757 that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11/2001, but a smaller plane or a missile. The video makes a lot of good points. Like other cameras around DC caught the object on tape but the FBI took the film before it could be review or released to the media.

    It does seem odd that we have no video or photos of the plane before or after the crash, other than the ones the government released. And it seems awful lucky that the plane would hit a part of the building that was unoccupied…
