Zeitgeist 9/11

10 Years Later

This week it has been 10 years since the attacks on 9/11 where a bunch of monsters flew airplanes into buildings with the aim of killing thousands just for ideological sake. 10 years ago I was working at Sony Music and in the afternoon it became transparent what had happened in New York. A colleague on the work floor mentioned to me in passing that a plane had flown in the World Trade Center. Not long after I had to go to the mens room and saw a group of co-workers huddled together near a radio. I asked what was up and they replied that America was under attack.

I called my mother on the cellphone and she was watching television at home while the whole thing unfolded. 'It's terrible,' she said. Returning to my workplace I recall starting a conversation with a colleague and he was also aware of the situation. I said to him at the time; 'this is the start of a war,' reciting the attack on Pearl Harbor as a similar if not identical situation. My mother called me again and shared the awful news that the towers had collapsed. I knew right then and there that thousands had perished. Upon returning home I immediately put on the television and watched the images most people have engrained in their memories.

10 years later now and this week was full of remembrance. Most tv channels showed documentaries and Hollywood productions made after 9/11 dealing with this subject. One documentary made by 2 French brothers is particularly hair raising since they were on the scene and in the tower just minutes before it collapsed. Remembering that awful day is a good thing. We mustn't forget that if a person becomes too radical and too extreme in their thoughts, violence is just around the corner. And violence begets violence. Lets honor the victims and their families as well as that notion.

Ghosts Of 9/11

I've gone on record stating that the attacks on 9/11 were not an inside job yet what I mentioned back then and what I still have now is basically suspicions and doubts. Today I recalled a segment from the documentary Zeitgeist the Movie where a picture is shown of a steel beam cut at an angle. (See picture above.) I must admit that at the time of watching the documentary I didn't give it much attention and the first Zeitgeist film is not the best of the series but I decided to look up that particular photograph today on the internet anyway. It can be found quite easily using Google Images and a few keywords such as WTC and steel beams. The longer I stared at the photograph the more the feeling came over me that something is very wrong here.

The beam in question, just behind the fireman, is clearly cut at an angle. More remarkable is the apparent molten metal that seemingly has dripped down along the lines of the fracture before it settled again. I can see why this is an argument for the (conspiracy) theory that the World Trade Centers were brought down with the help of a controlled demolition. The cut itself is in fact used by demolition experts in this manner because the structure above it slides away from the column under its own weight. It's a technique used specifically in demolition jobs. No self-respecting engineer would design or use an angled steel beam in this way because it goes against structural integrity. Here's a close up.


The molten metal is what stands out. When you go back to the top photograph you'll notice that no one is working in that area and that it's also not accessible. Smoke is still coming out of the ground so it's safe to assume this photograph was taken within days of the collapse. The reason why I mention this is because workers did in fact cut metal beams on ground zero into smaller pieces using acetylene torches, as this picture proves.


I would imagine that working on a vertical column and trying to cut it down is very dangerous, and I'm assuming that if such work has to be done it would preferably be done horizontally as to not create hazardous working conditions. When you cut a steel beam that's standing upright and weighs tons and it's going to fall somewhere with the potential to kill, I would surmise you would try to avoid such a scenario anyway possible. I don't doubt that the workers cut metal beams in the aftermath of 9/11, and I even believe that they would cut the material at an angle. Yet the thing is, I've gone through a number of photographs where the blackened and molten steel is not visible while a diagonal cut has definitely been made.



So what could cause the typical cut and molten steel? It turns out thermite can. There has been a lot of discussion on the internet and in mainstream media about thermite. Many people have said that while thermite burns hot, hot enough to melt steel, it's not a practical way to do it since it ignites in every direction. With conducted tests you also often see someone filling a garden pot with thermite and letting it drip on steel. That has been proven not to work in creating a fracture in the metal itself. Yet what many people in the media apparently forget is that there is a technique you can use that overcomes that deficit. It's called a shaped charge and the guy in this video uses it to cut through a steel column at every angle.



Jonathan Cole conducted many experiments with thermite on metal and as the pictures above show he was highly successful in using it as a means of demolition. Again we also see the resettled metal that has dripped down under the force of gravity. Despite what many sources led you to believe, thermite could have been used with the addition of a shaped charge. This is just one component of the 9/11 mystery that seems to go on till this day. I have left out other items such as the molten metal that was dug out of the ground at ground zero. This blog is about the cut metal beam. Is it conclusive? I would have to say no since no research has been done on the metal columns directly taken from ground zero and sadly much of that material was quickly whisked away, but what I have learned is that the "whacky conspiracy theorists" certainly make a good point for the 'thermite case.'

My Take On 9/11

Well, it seems there is a need to explain my position on 9/11 so lets just cut to the chase. Personally I don't believe in that the Twin Towers were taken down with the help of controlled demolition. The damage caused by the airplanes themselves were probably enough to severely weaken the structure and the explanation that the fires weakened the loading capacity of the metal (and supporting structure) is a proper explanation for me. The World Trade Centers themselves also had an unusual construction in that the core and the outside of the buildings, basically were the supporting structures. All the floors were attached to the core and the outside. They basically had nothing underneath. The 'pancake effect' is a plausible result when the building failed. The planes also took out a great portion of the outside supporting structure and presumably also a portion from the inner core.

I have no reason to believe that any other then the hijackers carried out the attacks or that some airplanes were unmanned. Telephone conversation have been recorded where passengers or stewards in the planes related the circumstances to air traffic controllers or family members, before they perished. I wouldn't even begin to tarnish their memories by suggesting no people were aboard. I also believe the hijackers planned the attack which was the brainchild of the al Qaeda leadership. No argument so far.
I do wonder about some things. I recall that within a day after the 9/11 attacks all the names and faces of the hijackers were showed on television. That's very quick in my opinion, seeing that in other documentaries it was mentioned several times that many institutions (like the FAA, military bases and government leadership) were in complete chaos.

I also have questions regarding WTC 7, which had the appearance of a controlled demolition. It's true that the building was damaged by the disintegrating towers and subsequently also put on fire. The north side showed little to no damage and I have seen pictures of the south side of building 7 which did show some damage, but was that enough to take the whole building down? Why didn't sections collapse? To me this is one of the strange events of 9/11 and a lot of folks also see it that way. Could tower 7 also simply collapse the way it did by the damage it suffered? Sure.

Lets get to the core of how I view the 9/11 attacks. Was 9/11 an inside job? No, there's no proof of that.
Do I have suspicions at times? Yes, I do and that is based on multitude of factors. Yet I fully realize that suspicions can not be presented as fact, and that's why I don't do that.

What arouses my suspicion? I already mentioned the unusual circumstances surrounding building 7 but it could very well be that the building went down without any outside 'help'. My main focus in this matter lies on the information that was available before 9/11 because the thing is; intelligence services were in fact aware (to a degree) of an impending attack with airplanes. For me, this is the kicker.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. intelligence officials had several warnings that terrorists might attack the United States on its home soil -- even using airplanes as weapons -- well before the September 11, 2001 attacks, two congressional committees said in a report released Wednesday.

The story is continued here. The thing is; information was available in the intelligence community and it becomes a matter of what the leadership does with this kind of information. Intelligence failure? I don't think so. The leadership did one of two things. They either ignored the warnings or they let the operation/attack continue for what ever purpose. Intelligence didn't fail, the leadership failed and the ultimate question is; did they do that on purpose?
If you are in a position of power, in the central hub where all the information passes through and a few people are in control of that, it's very easy to influence a desired outcome. Such people are basically moving pieces around in a hidden game of chess and no one is in a position to challenge them. Whatever way you look at this the political leadership at the time was at least partially responsible for the 9/11 attacks.
Again, I can't prove 9/11 was an inside job. Yet seeing how the White House got so many warnings I have my suspicions at times. This is my take on 9/11.

Tower 7 Enigma Continues

Recently new footage of the 9/11 attacks has surfaced. The International Center for 9/11 Studies got its hands on never before seen footage from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. And what do you know? Certain footage has been edited! Just watch the penthouse in the film above and see it disappear. How typical, and this will only add further fuel to the fire.
The NIST was responsible for the official report explaining the collapse of WTC 7 but seeing how they released edited material, one can reasonably conclude that they are withholding information. This of course aids the conspiracy theories already surrounding 9/11.
