Whither the Scholars?
Whither have the scholars for 911 truth gone? Of all the inquiry Sites, they are one of the most important.
Yet if you click on the link to Scholars for 911 Truth, or type in their website http://www.st911.org/ you will find something completely different.
Given the importance of this Site to the movement, I thought I should let you all know!
911 Truth - and Debate - Grows in Norway
Just as my like-minded bloggers, I am now regularly subject to pejorative comments in my Norwegian blog. It may therefore come as a surprise to note that I was not the f**** conspiracy nut I am accused of being before last Summer.
Like many, I had accepted the official conspiracy theory without question. My interest in 911 came as I began to write about Peak Oil, in my oil blog CQD - named after the old distress call said to have been sent by the Titanic. It was through that subject that, reading the thoughts of Michael C. Ruppert, and http://www.oilempire.us/911peakoil.html I realized that there might be more to the issue than I first had appreciated. So I began looking at all the videos like Loose Change, and at some point I knew that whatever the truth - we had not been told the truth.
CQD began covering 911. Other Norwegian "oil bloggers" went through a similar process, and by the end of the year you would have a hard time deciding whether CQD, and its rivals The Age of Oil is Over with War on Your Mind were about Peak Oil at all... or whether 911 was our main concern. I think that what it shows is that the issue is growing in importance.
Cars On Fire
Like many others, I am saddened by the internal wrangling of the 911 Truth Movement. It is a shame. We should be focussing on what we agree upon: that we refuse to accept the official theory, and demand a new genuinely independent inquiry.
Furthermore, I have been highly sceptical to the claims of "space weapons", and think that Dr Jones' work so far explains the collapse of the towers far better. HOWEVER I am drawn to the issue of the burnt out cars today, by Jim Fetzer.
Can anybody confirm this? Never mind about the cars near the WTC. What about the burn out wrecks on the FDR Drive. Is this true? If so, how in the ****** could this have happened?
Perhaps alternative explanations, however bizarre, need to be examined.
What We Saw...
Having this last weekend looked at the new video "911 What We Saw" (comes up on google video if you search this), there are several interesting points that need making.
1. Without any question there is a third plane. We already knew of course, but this video clearly documents an unidentified plane. From other videos we know that this was circling the towers during the two attacks. It surprises me that not more is being made of this fact. The implication is that this plane is watching, and co-ordinating the attacks.
2. The smoke rising lower down, already documented by 911 Eyewitness (the Richard Siegel film), is confirmed here albeit at a poor angle. If you look below the lowest visible reenforced elevator floor, a few floors below this (look at the lower and darker builder behind, not the outline of the South Tower) you can clearly see whisps of dust and smoke from the corner of the North Tower. This can be seen BEFORE the second impact. Furthermore, it is not completely at street level... so whatever it is must be coming from the tower itself rather than anything blown up from the street below where the air is clear.
3. Important parts of this video appear to be missing. Immediately before the first collapse, we appear to see an explosion at street level. Unfortunately, this has been clipped, and we go straight into the dust clouds from the collapse itself. It the footage of this explosion is still waiting unedited, somewhere, we ought to be shown it!
The Enigma of The Fires
Let's Get On To CNN or Fox
After my blog post yesterday, I was asked by one commentator to link to the video I described. I thought that it was well known in the 911 Truth Movement.
However, I am more than happy to do so. The web page is http://911chronology.com/ and the video (in several formats) can be found at http://911chronology.com/index.php?page=video
I repeat. What is important here is the existance, or claimed existance, of video footage that the anchor could see but that we could not. If it shows what he claimed, then about ten minutes before the North Tower went the same way as the South already had done, ALL the top floors of the tower had collapsed. I may have made a mistake, and the chanel may have been Fox, however regardless of who is speaking CNN/or Fox did not, therefore, believe that the North Tower would last much longer.
This video was not shown to the public, and as far as I am aware I have never seen it. Yet listen to what the LIVE footage says. I would start listening at about 1000, and the anchor makes the claim at 10:21 saying "I think Rick is not as clear as WE are that the upper floors of Tower One of the World Trade Centre have collapsed completely". This is even claimed earlier:
Call On CNN To Release Footage
I have today watched the Last Chance 911 Timeline film, which traces the events from the first plane to the collapse of the last tower.
At approximately 10:19 CNN's footage speakes of a vantage that they have that others do not. Though they do not show it, they claim to be looking at footage from a helicopter.
What is interesting, and I should say of huge importance to the 911 Truth Movement, is their claim that - this ten minutes or so before the North Tower goes the same way as the South Tower already has - they can see what "we" cannot. From the helicopter, they can see that ALL THE TOP FLOORS OF THE NORTH TOWER have collapsed. They conclude it probably might not last much longer.
I would ask you all to get a hold of the Last Chance 911 Timeline, and listen for this claim. Then I would call upon CNN, and ask everyone to make the same request of CNN, to release the helicopter video in question.
You would think, for those who follow the official story, that they would have released this straight away, since if it shows what is claimed, it would clearly show much greater structural damage to the tower than we have hitherto reckoned with.
