In the past few months the Port Authority has begun distributing pieces of the WTC steel to various states and cities for 9/11 memorials. Till now, most pieces have been small, usually less than 5 feet, and put into glass cases.

But anyone who wanted to see some of the more massive steel beams up close, which were housed in the JFK airport hanger, the ones out of the view and scrutiny of the public (remember, the ones "exposed" by Jesse Ventura on Conspiracy Theory), will soon have their chance.

The Port Authority has donated 5 huge pieces of "mangled" steel to be used in an upcoming sculpture for a 9/11 memorial in Saratoga, NY. One of the members of the arts council "noted the dramatic nature of the steel, saying “…you see where the nose of the plane impacted.” "  "The sculpture will consist of five giant shards of "impact steel" from the floors of the towers where the hijacked airplanes struck."

On this week's "9/11 In Context" show, which airs Thursday, December 16, at 3pm ET, I will interview historian Daniele Ganser, an expert on Operation Gladio, the secret campaign by the CIA, MI6, NATO and national military secret services to control European politics by terrorist attacks.

Swiss historian and peace researcher Daniele Ganser, Ph.D. is the author of "Nato's Secret Armies: Operation Gladio and Terrorism in Western Europe" (Frank Cass, 2005). We will explore the relevance of the history of terrorism in Europe in the 1960s, '70s and '80s to an understanding of the 9/11 false flag operation.

Don't miss the show! It is sure to be worthwhile.

Tonight, Jon Stewart opened with an impassioned rant against Republicans for blocking a Congressional bill that would've provided health care for 9/11 first responders. Stewart then implored the GOP to never again exploit the attacks for political gain.

To my knowledge, this is the first time a 9/11 memorial by the highest officials has happened on an 11th other than September.

As covered by the Navy Times:

President Obama, Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen on Saturday (the 11th) remembered the victims of the terrorist attack on the Pentagon in a ceremony at the Pentagon Memorial.

I can optimistically think that this is in direct response to:
