When reading the articles below, keep one question in mind: Do
you find these allegations credible and serious enough to deserve media
coverage?
This question is crucial because the mainstream media has been ignoring (and
in some cases actively trying to discredit) the facts and arguments below for
years now.
It is the job of a properly functioning media to investigate
credible allegations about issues important to the people and determine
their validity. America’s media appears to have failed so completely
here that it should be considered completely broken, if not dead.
Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth
The Examiner reports that over 1000 architects and engineers have
signed petition to reinvestigate 9-11 destruction.

"At some level of government, at some point in time,
there was an agreement not to tell the people the truth about what
happened." John Farmer, Senior Counsel to the 9-11
Commission in his book The Ground Truth.
Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth founder, Richard Gage, AIA, began the
conference quoting Mark Twain who said, "If you don't
read the newspapers you're uninformed. If you do read them you're
misinformed." Gage said he hoped the assembled
press would help to rectify that situation. "Today I'm
quite pleased to announce that now we have more than one thousand architects
and engineers signed on to the A&E911Truth petition demanding of
Congress a new and truly independent, unimpeachable investigation into the
destruction of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers on 9-11," Gage
said to a cheering audience.
Numerous architects and engineers
spontaneously spoke during the event about what had led to their decision to
get involved in a movement that could potentially jeopardize their careers. Most
agreed that it was the suspicious collapse of World Trade Center 7 that first caught their attention. No
airplane hit the building and the fires
were small. Gage said the fires were unlikely to have
disabled the supporting columns all at once in order to quickly and neatly
drop the skyscraper.
There was also evidence of foreknowledge of World Trade Centers
destruction. The BBC reported live that it had fallen twenty
minutes before it actually fell; viewers could see the building
standing in the background.
Physics professor, Dr. Stephen Jones, along with an international team of
scientists, analyzed World Trade Center dust from several sources and claims
they found unmistakable traces of nanothermitic
composite material--explosives that could be used to
demolish the three skyscrapers. He and other
architects and engineers say this explains the
pools of molten metal found at ground zero weeks after the incident. Jones
co-authored a peer-reviewed paper on the subject which led to his being
fired from a tenured faculty position at Brigham Young University.
…
I asked Griffin why media outlets--even
alternative ones--are typically so reluctant to even look at
the 9-11 evidence.
"They say, 'We lose our credibility over here, then we can't do all this
other good work,' overlooking the fact...I would say, as a rabid (laughs)
member of the 9-11 Truth Movement, 'Look this
outstrips anything else you could be exposing from the last ten years--or the
next ten--unless there's another one, and if there is another one it will be
partly your fault because you didn't expose this one."

Jesse Ventura's Censored 9/11 Commentary
By Jesse Ventura
Sunday, March 14, 2010 at 01:08 PM
Editor's Note: The
following column by former Minnesota Gov. Jesse
Ventura was removed by Huffington Post after it
was published March 9 and replaced with a
note that states the site "prohibits the promotion and promulgation of
conspiracy theories -- including those about 9/11."
You didn't see anything about it in the mainstream media, but at a
recent conference in San Francisco, more than 1,000
architects and engineers signed a petition
demanding that Congress begin a new investigation into the destruction of the
three World Trade Center skyscrapers on 9-11.
That's right, these people put their reputations in potential jeopardy --
because they don't buy the government's version of events. They want to know how
200,000 tons of steel disintegrated and fell to the ground in 11 seconds. They
question whether the hijacked planes were responsible or whether it could
have been a controlled demolition from inside that
brought down the twin towers and WTC Building 7.
…
I don't claim expertise about this, but I did work four years as
part of the Navy's underwater demolition teams, where we were trained to blow
things to hell and high water. And my staff talked at some length with a
prominent physicist, Steven E. Jones, who says that a
"gravity driven collapse" without demolition charges defies the
laws of physics.
These buildings fell, at nearly the rate of free-fall,
straight down into their own footprint, in approximately 10 seconds. An object
dropped from the roof of the 110-story-tall towers would reach the ground in
about 9.2 seconds. Then there's the fact that steel beams that weighed
as much as 200,000 pounds got tossed laterally as far as 500 feet.
… molten metal found underground
weeks later is proof that jet fuel couldn't have been all that was
responsible. I visited the site about three weeks
after 9-11, with Gov. Pataki and my wife Terry. It didn't mean anything to me
at the time, but they had to suspend digging that day because they were
running into heat pockets of huge temperatures. These
fires kept burning for more than three months, the
longest-burning structure blaze ever.
And this was all due to jet fuel? We're
talking molten metal more than 2,000 degrees
Fahrenheit. …
…
Gage is one of hundreds of credentialed architects and
structural engineers who have put their careers on the line to point
out the detailed anomalies and many implications of
controlled demolition in the building collapses. As he
puts it bluntly: "Once you get to the science, it's
indisputable."

Facts about the collapse of World Trade Center 7
9/11 Hard Facts reports about WTC Building 7.
WTC Building 7
While these intelligence failures suggest at least the
reasonable possibility of U.S. government complicity in 9/11, there
is a mountain of physical evidence that directly implicates high-level
government knowledge and participation in the planning and execution of
September 11. Perhaps the most
damning evidence lies in the bizarre collapse of WTC Building 7. Anyone familiar with the story of 9/11
knows about the collapse of the WTC North and South Twin-Towers. But a
third high rise also fell that day. At 5:20 p.m., the
massive 47-story steel frame Building 7, untouched by the hijacked airplanes,
imploded in the exact manner of a professionally engineered demolition
- at near free-fall speed, straight down, and with scientific precision into
a compact pile of rubble, barely damaging any of the surrounding buildings.
…
The official explanation for the collapse is fire - as
in fire weakened the building's structural support steel to the point where
it could no longer hold its own weight upright. …
…
Flames were visible on 3-4 floors of the building, having been apparently
ignited by falling debris and ruptured diesel tanks at the base of the
structure. And while relatively minor in severity, these fires were
apparently responsible for the building's demise. But fire as
the cause for collapse poses a number of significant problems - problems
that break fundamental laws of nature. Firstly, fire
from diesel fuel and building debris does not remotely approach the necessary
temperature required to weaken and melt steel. Steel is melted
and forged in sophisticated blast furnaces at incredibly high temperatures. Secondly,
even if fire did cause the necessary weakening of the buildings steel support
beams, each of those more than 50 beams would have had to weaken
and fail at the exact same time to account for the symmetrical
downward trajectory of the collapse. …
… no other steel
frame building has ever suffered a total collapse anywhere on the planet
before or after 9/11 due to fire (remember,
Building 7 was NOT hit by an aircraft). …
…
Another, and perhaps stronger, piece
of evidence for controlled demolition of Building 7 is the speed at which the
structure fell. It was a 576-foot tall building, and a
conservative estimate of available video evidence shows that it fell
in 6.5 seconds. A marble, with
nothing but wind resistance in its path, would fall to the ground from the
same height in roughly 6 seconds. Somehow,
the top of this building fell to the ground in a perfectly symmetrical
downward trajectory, with 47 floors of steel, concrete, and thousands of tons
of upright standing debris in its path providing huge amounts of
vertical resistance, at virtually free-fall speed. Allegedly because of
random fires on a few floors. This is a physical
and mathematical impossibility, violating laws in
the conservation of momentum…
... Only controlled demolition …
resolves the observed rate of collapse. Because
in a controlled demolition, waves of progressive explosions from the top down
would remove sections of resistant columns and supports, providing the
vacuum-like pocket needed to account for the 6.5-second collapse. No
other hypothesis, including the
premise narrated in the 'official story', accounts
for this speed.

THE NEW PHENOMENON OF STEEL BUILDINGS CRUSHING THEMSELVES
[I circled in red the three buildings that collapsed on 9/11
(WTC 1, WTC 2, and WTC 7). Notice that Building 7 (which wasn’t hit by
a plane) was separated from the North Tower (WTC 1) by Building 6 and Vesey Street. Building 6 did not collapse on 9/11.]

WTC 1 and 2, and 47-story WTC 7 were leveled, …

remarkably tidy. Although it was wedged between the Verizon
building and the U.S. Post Office building, it barely damaged either of them.

Media’s
silence on the thermite issue
Christopher
Bollyn’s Open Letter to The New York Times.
An Open Letter to The New York Times
from Christopher Bollyn
April 21, 2009
Dear Mr. Hoyt and Editors of The New York Times and International
Herald Tribune:
How can the New York Times completely ignore the
scientific evidence of nano-thermite, or super-thermite, found in the dust of
the demolished and pulverized rubble of the World Trade Center? Do you
consider this crucial scientific discovery
irrelevant to the understanding of what happened on 9-11?
…
The silence of the New York Times about the evidence of
super-thermite in the destruction of the twin towers is a perfect
illustration of why newspapers are going out of business in the United States: a controlled press is simply not relevant. …
…
Clearly, the New York Times is unwilling to publish
the most pertinent information about vital matters concerning the American
people, such as the search for the truth about what
really happened on 9-11. This makes the New York Times
irrelevant. The Times is in the same boat as
the controlled press of the former Soviet Union and many of the leading
newspapers of the United States. The controlled
press is a boat that is sinking and that deserves to sink.

Worse than silence
Christopher
Bollyn’s open letter to CNN and Time Warner.
An Open Letter to CNN and Time Warner
from Christopher Bollyn
April 28, 2009
Why is CNN & Time Warner Avoiding the Evidence of Super-Thermite in the
Dust of the World Trade Center?
…
Dear Sirs:
As one of the largest news networks in the United States, Time
Warner's CNN is a source of information for millions of people. As a
news network serving the public, CNN is expected to
report honestly about the news and relevant developments connected to the
important matters facing the nation. As the worst
terror attack in U.S. history and the seminal event leading to the extremely
costly "War on Terror," 9-11 remains a subject of great interest
and importance to the American people – and the world.
CNN, however, has
never shown any real interest in discussing the physical evidence of 9-11. When,
for example, a CNN team came to Schaumburg, Illinois, in January 2007, to
interview me as an independent journalist writing about 9-11, they showed
absolutely no interest in discussing the evidence of explosives and
steel-melting thermite in the destruction of the World Trade Center, although
this was the key element of the research I had been writing about for the
previous year or more. Rather than discuss the evidence of demolition, CNN
seemed determined to frame me as an anti-Semite. I was repeatedly asked,
"So, who did it?" To which I responded, "9-11 is an unsolved
crime."
Failing to get me to say anything that could even be remotely construed as
anti-Semitic, CNN relied on a video-editing trick in an obvious attempt to
smear me. After I told CNN very clearly that I was not an
anti-Semite, the video editors spliced in a clip of a woman from the
Anti-Defamation League of the B'nai B'rith (a secret organization of Jewish
Freemasons) taken in another city at another time, that made it appear that
she was responding to my comments. Fortunately, we had
recorded the entire interview with CNN and were able to show how CNN
was not at all interested in the evidence from 9-11 but
wanted only to smear me as an anti-Semite. Why would CNN even have such an
agenda to attack a truth seeker of 9-11?
Now, two years later, we have a scientific peer-reviewed
paper that presents physical evidence of super-thermite (i.e.
nano-thermite) found in the dust from the destroyed and
pulverized World Trade Center. This is a crucial
discovery because this is evidence of the extremely sophisticated and
powerful explosive that pulverized the twin towers on 9-11. CNN,
however, has yet to even report on this key discovery, which
was published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal in March 2009. Why is
CNN avoiding discussion of such crucial evidence of the explosives found in
the dust of the destroyed twin towers? Is the scientific
evidence explaining how the towers were destroyed of no importance to CNN?
How can CNN ignore the scientific evidence of large amounts of nano-thermite,
or super-thermite, found in the pulverized rubble of the World Trade Center? A recent study written by 9 scientists, including
Dr. Steven E. Jones of Provo, Utah, has proven the existence of a
highly-explosive thermitic material, "characterized as nano-thermite or
super-thermite," in five different samples of dust from the collapsed
towers of the World Trade Center. This paper, published
in The Open Chemical Physics Journal, is an historic
breakthrough in the scientific investigation of the explosive collapses of
the twin towers, yet CNN has not
even mentioned it.
…
This is the first time we have solid evidence of the unusual explosives
involved in the demolition of the three collapsed towers. One
would think that CNN would find such a development to be newsworthy. CNN's
refusal to discuss the crucial evidence of explosives in the World Trade Center reveals that CNN is both controlled and opposed to discussing
the evidence of what really happened on 9-11.
Signed,
Christopher Bollyn
Evidence that
mainstream media is dead
Click on this link for the peer reviewed paper titled “Active Thermitic Material Discovered
in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe”.
Now click on this link for a Google News search of the word
“Thermite”. Notice the
complete lack of coverage.
If the US mainstream media was alive and functioning, allegations this
creditable about an issue this important would be addressed! The
lack of meaningful media coverage on this issue alone is enough to declare
the US media dead.
This reader’s letter to The Star expresses ridiculousness of the problem.
I, like millions of others, am still waiting for a mainstream
paper to fully attend to the details of what these men are saying. Lay
out the evidence, please.
It does no good to offer comments from detractors that “they are
imposters, liars and con-men.” Are they? Show us
why this is so. We no longer react to serious questions
based on emotion.
These men are arguing based on the evidence collected. Any
detractor must counter the evidence, not simply smear their character. Of
particular seriousness is the collapse of WTC 7 and the evidence of explosive
thermitic material found in four separate dust samples collected from ground
zero.
This peer-reviewed evidence has been available for one
year already, and has been
completely ignored by such “prestigious” and “reputable
papers” as the Star, and refuted by no one. Why?
Conclusion: There
may be a perfectly legitimate explanation to WT7. However, because the
mainstream media has failed to address and investigate the issue, we are
currently left with convincing evidence of thermite induced controlled
demolition and an “official” explanation that defies the laws of
physics. America's media is broken.
Finally, if the
media is capable of ignoring something like this, then accepting the lack
coverage about other issues of vital importance fraud in gold markets, the
imminent 2010 food crisis, etc becomes easy.
