> Retired Air Force Col: They lied to us about the war and about 9/11 itself

29 October 2005, 20:41

Last week the NIST (National Institute Science Technology) issued their report on the collapse of the towers and building 7. They are posted on their site. I studied the technical sections about the collapse of the towers (did not get to building 7 yet). I am a physicist not a structural engineer. NIST’s simulations explain the initiation of the two collapses. But barely. They have to choose the right conditions just before collapse. Stresses are estimated from deformations (around 10 inch) derived from pictures of the towers’ exteriors minutes before collapse. It would be a lot more convincing if simulations could be done with minimal constraints on initial conditions. Assumptions are made about amounts of fire protecting coating falling off of steel beams. If that coating had held, they say, the towers would have stood. They do not have a satisfactory explanation of why the top of the towers at collapse tilt 90 and 180 degrees away from the location of impact. You would expect a tilt towards the side of impact. They say: a column was severed on the other side, or: the fire spread towards the other end. That sounds weak and is completely unsubstantiated. My main problem is with the two collapses themselves. NIST simulations stop at collapse initiation. All NIST says is: and then global collapse ensues. The two collapses should have been asymmetric (not straight down) and incomplete. Even if for some magical reason both collapses had started out perfectly symmetrical then still most of the supporting heavy steel beams in the center should have remained standing or come down in huge chunks. The outside of the buildings should have come down faster. But those beams just ’dissipated’ as fast as much weaker beams on the outside of the buildings and in many short pieces.

Now let me develop a scenario.

Remember that building 7 collapsed later in the day for no reason at all. And this building perfectly pan-caked down as well. Two things we know about that building: it was demolished and it housed an important CIA office.

And we know that 9/11 was an inside job. If nothing else the 8 ft hole in the Pentagon proves that. A plane could have never caused that, it was a missile. (and there was no black box and no human remains from passengers and no parts from a plane and all videos are confiscated and the impact was in a part that happened to be under renovation and even a pro-pilot could barely have flown that plane the way it must have)

We also know that Cheney and the PNAC were ’dying’ to go to war to fulfill their agenda. Cheney being Veep learned about Atta and his people and their plans for the WTC. That would be a perfect incident to get people ready for war (and to accept torture). Cheney decided to control and magnify the incident. Controlling the attack on the WTC is important because you want the incident to be dramatic (for TV) but not devastating for NYC and the financial centers right next door. So toppling of the buildings had to be avoided. A demolishing crew was hired and their task was to pull the buildings when they threatened to topple or to pull them anyway because it would be spectacular for TV. The demolishing crew was stationed next to the WTC in the CIA offices in building 7. They watched the attacks and the towers’ behavior closely. Remote control high explosives had been mounted up and down the central supporting columns as part of a building maintenance/inspection job. Or as part of a ’secret’ CIA program to ’bug’ the towers. When they noticed signs of toppling (increased buckling, shown in NIST pictures) they pulled. The first explosions were at the floors of the impact and at columns away from the impact. Crucially, this prevented serious toppling to one side and it explains why subsequent toppling was to sides away from the impacts. After this there was a standard controlled demolishion: the steel support columns were chopped up in small/manageable chunks and everything came down straight and neatly. To cover their tracks building 7 also had to be pulled.

The chunks of columns were small enough so that they could be removed quickly and were melted down abroad (Demolishing companies advertise the ability to pull this of. It saves a lot of money) No time was allowed to study the steel for signs of explosions.
