9/11
Destroyed America

- The events on September 11, 2001, changed the
world. It was the excuse for the US government
to launch military attacks on seven Middle
Eastern countries, causing civilian casualties
in the millions and sending waves of Muslim
refugees into the Western world. The US
government wasted trillions of dollars
destroying countries and murdering women and
children, while public infrastructure in the US
deteriorated, Americans’ homes were foreclosed,
and American health needs went unattended. 9/11
was also the excuse for the destruction of the
protection that the US Constitution provided to
ensure the liberty of the American citizen.
Today no American has the protection of the
civil liberty that the Constitution guarantees.

On
September 11, 2001, when a neighbor called and
told me to turn on the TV, I stopped what I was
doing and turned on the TV. What I saw was the
two World Trade Center Towers blowing up. I had
often enjoyed lunch in the rooftop restaurant in
one of the towers across the street from my Wall
Street Journal office.
A
miniscule by comparison frail aluminum airliner
hit one massive steel tower and then another
aluminum airliner hit the other. There were some
plumes of orange outside the buildings. Then
approximately after one hour, less in one case,
more in the other, the two towers exploded floor
by floor as they fell into their own footprint.
This
was precisely the way the news anchors described
what I was seeing. “It looks exactly like a
controlled demolition,” the news anchors
reported. And indeed it did. As a Georgia Tech
student I had witnessed a controlled demolition,
and that is what I saw on television, just as
that was what the news anchors saw.
Later
that day Larry Silverstein who owned, or held
the lease on, the World Trade Center, explained
on TV that the free fall collapse in the late
afternoon of the third WTC skyscraper, Building
7, into its own footprint was a conscious
decision to “pull” the building. Pull is the
term used by controlled demolition to describe a
building wired with explosives to be destroyed.
Building 7 had not been hit by an airliner, and
suffered only minor and very limited office
fires. Silverstein’s statement was afterwards
corrected by authorities to mean that the
firemen were pulled from the building. However,
many videos show the firemen already out of the
building with the fireman stating that the
building was going to be brought down.
As
there is no doubt whatsoever that Building 7 was
wired for demolition, the question is why?
Because
Americans are an insouciant and trusting people
and confident of the inherent goodness of their
country, years passed before even experts
noticed that the official story stood in total
contraction to known laws of physics, was in
total contraction to how buildings collapse from
asymmetrical damage, and could not have
collapsed due to being hit by airliners as the
buildings met all code requirements for
withstanding airliner collusions. Many did not
even know that the third skyscraper, Building 7,
had collapsed.
Professor Steven E. Jones, a professor of
physics at BYU, was among the first to see that
the official story was pure fantasy. His reward
for speaking out was to have his tenure contract
bought out by BYU, many believe under orders
from the federal government backed up with the
threat that all federal support of science at
BYU would be terminated unless Stephen Jones
was.
Cynthia
McKinney, a black woman who represented a
Georgia congressional district in the US House
of Representatives was either much brighter or
much braver than her white colleagues. She
raised obvious questions about 9/11, questions
begging to be asked, and lost her seat.
Approximately five years after 9/11, San
Francisco architect Richard Gage noticed that
the three WTC buildings did not fall down in any
way consistent with the official explanation. He
formed Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth,
currently about 3,000 members. This group
includes high rise architects and structural
engineers who actually are experienced in the
construction of skyscrapers. In other words,
they are people who know what they are talking
about.
These
3,000 experts have said that the official
explanation of the collapse of three skyscrapers
stands in contradiction to known laws of
physics, architecture, and structural
engineering
In
other words, the official explanation is totally
impossible. Only an uneducated and ignorant
public can believe the official 9/11 story. The
US population fits this description.
A&E for
9/11 Truth is gradually gaining assent from
architects and engineers. It is very difficult
for an architect or engineer to support the
truth, because the American population, which
includes patriotic construction companies, whose
employees fly American flags on their trucks,
don’t want to hire architects and engineers who
are “enemies of America aligned with Arab
terrorists.” In America, if you tell the truth,
you are in great danger of losing your customers
and even your life.

Think
now about physicists. How many physics faculties
do you know that are not dependent on federal
grants, usually for military-related work? The
same for chemistry. Any physics professor who
challenged the official story of 9/11 with the
obvious fact that the story contravenes known
laws of physics would endanger not only his own
career but the careers of his entire department.
Truth
in America is extremely costly to express. It
comes at a high cost that hardly any can afford.
Our
masters know this, and thus they can dispense
with truth at will. Moreover, any expert
courageous enough to speak the truth is easily
branded a “conspiracy theorist.”
Who
comes to his defense? Not his colleagues. They
want rid of him as quickly as possible. Truth is
a threat to their careers. They can’t afford to
be associated with truth. In America, truth is a
career-killing word.
In
America, truth is becoming a synonym for
“Russian agent.” Only Russian Agents tell the
truth, which must mean that truth is an enemy of
America. Lists are being prepared of websites
that speak truth to power and thus are
seditious. In the United States today people can
lie at will without consequence, but it is
deadly to tell the truth.
Support
A&E for 9/11 Truth. These are heroic people.
9/11 was the manufactured excuse for the
neoconservatives’ 16 years of war crimes against
millions of Muslims peoples, remnants of which
now seek refuge in Europe.
Neoconservatives are a tiny number of people. No
more than a dozen are of any consequence. Yet
they have used America to murder millions. And
now they are fomenting war with Russia, China,
Iran, and North Korea. The world would never
survive such a war.
Are
Americans so insouciant that they will stand
aside while a dozen neoconservatives destroy the
world?
