It is about six months before the tenth anniversary of the World Trade Center demolition in 2001.
There are powerful forces among us ready to strike down alternatives to the official story of September 11, 2001. But what frightens me is that many innocent, intelligent people are too scared to discuss niney leven, an expression I employed to get past Huffington Post moderators. (It seems to go back to something a TSA employee said to fliers: "You all didn't learn nothing from niney leven." in 2006.) I'll use it as a symbol of the refusal of Democrats to even go near the overwhelming evidence of fraud committed on September 11, 2001.
As I work on this diary (3-1) NBC’s Brian Williams is on Letterman making fun of Building Seven demolition proponents. “We can’t even move traffic between New York and DC, how could the government orchestrate Building Seven?” However, instead of his bombast winning a burst of applause, someone in Dave’s youthful audience yelled something (inaudible to me), another voice or two chimed in, and people laughed. Then the ringers led a spotty applause to close that topic out, and Williams briskly moved on.
We will see more of this challenge. There are many First Responders in New York who do not believe the official version, because they heard huge explosions before the buildings came down.
Numerous polls over the past few years have shown that (conservatively; there are some polls that skyrocket to 90% when they are polling opinions of the government) between 30 and 50 percent of Americans do not believe the government story of niney leven.
When you see a small penthouse at the top of a steel skyscraper suddenly collapse before the rest of the building even budges, which then comes down at freefall speed and neatly falls within its own footprint, you don’t need to memorize a conspiracy theory from the demi-monde of the internet. There it is: a skyscraper is being professionally demolished. There is no other plausible explanation or you would have heard Williams tell us all about it on Dave.
Some top forensic scientists have confirmed the presence of a mix of iron oxide and aluminum, called thermite, which is used to melt steel, at the WTC site. This stuff was made with nano-technology, meaning hi-tech tiny, a high-grade design for hot and fast demolition. You don’t create nano-thermite in a cave in Afghanistan.
The Niney Leven Commission report, whose own members called fraud in that reluctantly performed charade, did not even mention Building Seven, which fell after the Twin Towers' fall. An airplane did not hit it. Are you curious as to why it fell? I was, but you can call me crazy, along with crazies Alex Jones and Charlie Sheen.
Yet, Senator John Kerry said that Building Seven’s collapse was a controlled demolition. Do you think he’s crazy? Why would a respected Democratic Senator at a speaking engagement call Building Seven’s fall a controlled demolition if he didn't believe it to be true?
Let's be practical: whoever demolished Building Seven nine and one half years ago has long vanished, obviously. Whoever installed the steel-cutting charges will never be identified. Nothing can be done to catch and punish the masterminds. The current administration would certainly block any true investigation. So why bother? Just get informed.
To focus on some 'enemies,' however accurate that description may be, I believe is secondary to the importance of an informed American public. Any mention of the usual suspects of the Bush Adminstration will be called out and if bickering starts up I'll delete the diary.
I'm not seeking an opportunity for dailykos to have the The Talk, about The Crime Of the Century So Far And Which Asshole Did It. The civic act here is to simply absorb the available information about these strange events.
Building Seven's fall is tangible, and it's not going anywhere, it's enshrined in video. And there is nothing anyone can do about it except scare us into not watching it and ridicule anyone who speaks up.
Jesse Ventura has been particularly courageous in exposing the inconsistencies of the official version of September 11. I don't agree with some of his theories or Alex Jones' overreaches, but they can speak intelligently about the events at WTC.
If ever there was a model of patriotism, we see it in John Kerry, who I think went out of his way to answer questions from an eager audience. He said his piece about Building Seven a few years ago and quietly went back to work. It's in the archives.
My concern now is that we each understand that IT HAPPENED. So that we can process that betrayal, so that we can grow, and so that maybe we can try a little bravery, a little individuality. We need to know, for our own psychological health, the truth about an event which has been the foundation for US domestic and foreign policy for a decade.
Shouldn't you watch a few videos and hear the tired and grimy firemen talk about what they saw and heard? Shouldn't you analyze with all the tools that your college education gave you, and come to some conclusion? Because you can answer the most fundamental question by observing the physical and visual and measurable event. It's not about Who demolished Building Seven, it's about the Demolition that someone pulled off, and which challenges the official tale.
These are times that try souls, when loyalties are challenged and the ground wobbles. Who will lead this issue into the daylight? Where are you, knowing elites? Do you rationalize that your silence is helpful?
If you are feeling protective of any particular person or group and don't want to bring shame and penalty to them or it to the extent that you would suppress the truth of this incredible spectacle that cost so many lives, I am sorry about your karma, but we have greater priorities than saving the reputations of a few people, while an entire democracy is left in the dark on the wrong road.
Architects and Engineers (A&E) for Niney Leven Truth dot org is a group of mostly West Coast professionals who took on the government story. Architect Richard Gage with the org makes frequent speaking appearances. The website provides skillful video and analyses of the collapses, and of phenomena in and around them that only the digital age could reveal.
Just think of all the people you now don't have to fear.
