Today is the 16th anniversary of the atrocity.
Facts: Nineteen men hijacked four fuel-loaded US commercial airplanes bound for west coast destinations.
A total of 2,977 people were killed in New York City, Washington, DC and outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
The attack was orchestrated by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

I’m very skeptical of the “official” story.

Letter: Don’t believe in coincidences
http://www.reformer.com/stories/letter-dont-believe-in-coincidences,518861
Excerpt:
Some people who question the official report note that no skyscraper has ever collapsed in less than two hours from fire, let alone three massive towers all in the same day. Indeed, no skyscraper has ever collapsed from fire, anywhere in the world.
In June 2017 a fire quickly engulfed the 27 story Grenfell Tower in London. After nearly five hours of intense burning, it was reported that, “at dawn the blaze still burned brightly against the pale sky, with flames especially hot in the middle section.” The “blackened hulk” of Grenfell Tower was later “determined to still be structurally sound.”
The World Trade Towers in the 2001 attack are noted for not becoming entirely engulfed in flames, yet it took firefighters 100 days to extinguish all the fires ignited by the initial fireballs of the two plane explosions. The Grenfell Tower fire took six hours to put out, but Tower 1 and Tower 2 blew apart in less than two hours.
Europhysics – “evidence points overwhelmingly to the conclusion”
Excerpt: http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=139480
A new forensic investigation into the collapse of the three World Trade Tower Center towers on 9/11, published in Europhysics News – a highly respected European physics magazine – claims that “the evidence points overwhelmingly to the conclusion that all three buildings were destroyed by controlled demolition.”
While many in the mainstream have attempted to label anyone questioning the official narrative as “tin foil hat” conspiracy theorists, many highly respected experts have come forward to lampoon the theory that the (3) buildings collapsed due to the intense heat and fires following two terrorist-directed plane crashes. Given the far-reaching implications, it is morally imperative that this hypothesis be the subject of a truly scientific and impartial investigation by responsible authorities” the four physicists conclude in the damning report.

Hold the Conspiracy theories for one day

Excerpt:
I remember every horrid detail about that day. I will never forget it as long as I live. It was a dark, dark day in American history. This was a declaration of war, which was executed by cowards against people who didn’t expect it and could not have defended it.
But what makes me bring all of this up again? Well, here it is: When we post things on social media, they can hurt. When we take a moment to post that the Sept. 11 attacks were a conspiracy theory on the anniversary of the attacks, then I honestly believe that you’re not tethered to anyone’s feelings (or maybe you just don’t care). I’m not saying that you’re not entitled to your feelings and I’m not saying that you shouldn’t let your voice be heard. I encourage it. But on the actual day when nearly 3,000 innocent lives were taken, maybe it would be best to hold off for the day and post it on the day after. Because you never know who could be reading it. For all you know a 16-year-old who grew without a father could see it. What the hell is up with that?
Fish misses the mark
Excerpt from The Reformer: http://www.reformer.com/stories/letter-fish-misses-the-mark,520733
On that beautiful September morning I lost two friends. One was a thirty-eight year old NYPD police officer who was submitting his retirement papers. He had planned to join a law firm. When the call came in, he rushed out with the other cops from the precinct to join in the rescue mission. The other was a fifty year old friend from when we were nineteen. He worked in an accounting office in the South Tower and was in the group that was told to “return to their offices so they wouldn’t interfere with the evacuation of the North Tower.” Both friends went down with the vertical implosions of those Trade Towers.
I knew my friends had a lot of good life left in them. They were among the “just innocent folks” as Fish emphasizes. So, you can bet that on September 11 and everyday hence I am tethered and I care. Moreover, I’m rightfully compelled to state my skepticism 365 days a year. It’s the privilege and responsibility of all American’s to protect free speech and expression, not diminish it.
Fish’s right to post his opinion on social media is constitutionally validated, but the last paragraph in his column is, at its worst, specious. It is there where he encourages so-called “conspiracy theorists” to “let your voice be heard,” on the one hand, and on the other, he wishes to hold back and silence that same voice on the day my two friends and many others died.
The true assets of freedom of speech and free press do not work well with his “confirmation bias.” In this case, like some people who cherry-pick freedom of speech to address differences of opinion, Fish speaks with a forked-tongue. “What the hell is up with that?”

The hand of man on Sept. 11, 2001
“There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact,” said Sherlock Holmes.
One problem with considering controlled demolition in the attack is that it suggests a conspiracy and collusion. You would proceed with the understanding that two forces were at work, one from within and one from without. The plane hijacking impacts were most certainly foreign elements. However, if the three massive towers were in fact wired for controlled demolition, the job was most certainly presided over from within.
Moreover, the controlled demolition would have been wired in advance of the attacks. The two scenarios must be taken together in order to explain the pulverization of the three towers and the speed and symmetry of their collapses.
When you factor in that most of the body count was comprised of bone fragments and splinters with few whole bodies or large body parts, the evidence defies the official fire collapse theory.

Outrageous Conspiracy Theories
Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th; malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists themselves, away from the guilty.
G.W. Bush (to United Nations, November 10, 2001)
Ya want to hear an outrageous conspiracy theory? It’s a doozy!
19 disaffected Muslim men armed with box cutters and led by a sick Saudi on dialysis in a cave in Afghanistan hijacked 4 commercial planes, flew them around unhindered in any way for an hour or so then crashed them into 2 skyscrapers in New York and the US Pentagon, outwitting the most sophisticated intelligence network in the world.
Ain’t that a knee slapper?

9/11 In A Nutshell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrJiKbK0tVM
The best explanation for the persistent adoration of the “Official Story” is that people are afraid to think that THEIR GOVERNMENT could commit such a horrible crime. It’s called “Cognitive Dissonance”.
To a true Psychopath (of whom there are many in leadership positions, worldwide) such an event is seen as merely expedient, not a crime at all. The end justifies the means.
From within and without, high and low
My first newspaper commentary challenging the veracity of the government’s 9/11 “official report” was published in June of 2005.
Then, and now, I so regretted that I didn’t act on my instincts beginning Sept 9, 2001, that told me as I watched those Towers coming “straight” down that those plane impacts could not possibly do that.
But in 2001, my small business took a lot of time and at 50 years old I still enjoyed my “playtime” like I did just like when I was 22.
In 2005 I tried to make up for lost time, but it was too late then.
It’s still too late, but no matter who speaks against me I will continue to call attention to the crime against America perpetrated from within and without, high and low.
9/11 had to happen
Why 9/11 had to happen, from the point of view of those who sit at the top of the human power hierarchy:
There are such people, and they have always had ideas about the direction they think the world should be going.
They can’t always get everything they want all the time, but I can assure you, they get more of what they want than ordinary people can ever dream of.
We’re living on a planet that is being systematically plundered and stolen from beneath us: everything worth owning, from the water, to the GMO foods, to the pharmaceuticals, to the minerals in the ground, to the public services and the entire public infrastructure.
This unfortunately is how globalization is happening.
It’s not called a war. It’s a transnational corporate financial theft of everything. This is a war being run, of necessity, by deception. Those waging it against you and me don’t want us to know.
