Dr. Steven Jones Shares Comments Received Regarding His 9/11 Paper
Comments regarding Prof. Jones' "Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Collapse?"
1. Email to Prof Jones from a structural engineer in Texas:
“It occurred to me that structural engineers and architects are practitioners of static physics [like yourself] although we use different terminology peculiar to our professions to elaborate on our designs.
I am surprised how few of my colleagues have expressed public disbelief at the official line which lurches from theory to theory as the shortcomings of each became apparent. I guess they have run out of ideas on Building 7.
..
8. Email to Prof. Jones from a Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT:
“I agree wholeheartedly with one comment [in Jones’ paper] – that the [official] enquiries are grossly inadequate and the conclusions may well be wrong. I have publicly stated that they are significant for what they do NOT say rather than for what they say. Building engineers on the defensive.â€
Just got this in via email in a Word document, converted it to html, and you can find it at the link above. Be sure to check out the whole page as we have only quoted a few of the responses here.
A very special thanks to Brian from 911truthseekers.org for giving us the heads up, and to Professor Jones for sharing!

"On th subject of the WTC
"On th subject of the WTC collapses. I have never understood how the sagging trusses were able to pull down the 24 core columns with them . Surely the core would have remained standing if the O.V. were correct."
No, neither the core columns nor the outer walls could stand on their own.
Yeah, the whole unit was
Yeah, the whole unit was basically set on one big teeter-totter.

Nice! I believe that soon
Nice! I believe that soon enough members of 911 official story movement who says that "structural engineer all over the world supports the official story of wtc collapsing" will start to disolve as more engineers speak out against it.

Hey dsm... that's a great article, but I have a problem with referencing KSM... I think I said this earlier, but I think he's dead as a doornail.
Think of the reasons, if he's alive, why they won't let him appear publicly.
1. He's been tortured, and he would obviously tell that to the world at his first opportunity.
2. If he did have anything to do with the attacks, in any way, shape, or form, then he was also aware of the U.S. Government's complicity. I'm sure they would just love for him to come out with that.
3. He may know of other things that we do not. Things they don't want us to know about.
I think any of these reasons are good enough to "off" him. Why would they keep someone like that alive?
Of course... as I said, I
Of course... as I said, I have absolutely no proof of that. It's just a "theory".

Hey kevin thanks for posting
Hey kevin thanks for posting the essay. It's been a while since I read the updated version.
Do you notice that in the area of second ejection of puff of dust in the north tower, there is no visible signs of trusses failing, otherwise it would have been shown that concrete on the outside of building to be cracked. Some people have claimed that the puff of dust may have come from either diesel gas of tank exploding (which evidently there was zero tank in the area) or the energentic force created by the floor pancaking caused the dust to shoot out (rolleyes).
The capture of Khalid Sheikh
The capture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Ramzi bin Al Shibh were odd. I think KSM was captured more than once, i.e., there were REPORTS of his capture more than once and RBS's capture was odd because he should have been in hiding but he was captured in Karachi. His face, a very memorable face, was in a lot of news reports. I remember thinking at the time that it was so odd that he was captured like that rather than go into secure hiding.

regarding Professor Jones' replies, I think it is great that the barriers are coming down and the lines of communication are opening.

Also perfectly explained. This building was built around and over a
power substation. there was effectovely a "bridge" over the substation.
Directly under that bridge were fuel tanks for emergency generators.
Falling debris from ther WTC penetrated WTC7 and started a small fire.
That small fire ignited those fuel tanks. The ensuing fire caused the
"bridge" structure to weaken and eventually buckle bringing the whole
building down. They had predicted thsi would happed which si why they
had evacuated the area before the building fell later that day.

The blogger brigade idea is great (I emailed twice and never got in, maybe you can add me 911HijackerDotCom@gmail.com)
But it seems like we should, every day, email many places.
It should be a machine. A system. Get online, do your daily emails to places... then go to work on the blogs and message boards/comments to articles...
But we need a commonality.
We need a few items to focus on, and to use to relate to current events (Rumsfeld in the news, called a liar, lets show them how he lied relating to 911, etc...)
(CIA head quits, lets tell them about who he was meeting with prior to and during 911, etc...)
We now have basically 127 days until the anniversary, let's make the most of it and get something going to push for the final 90 days.

Directly under that bridge were fuel tanks for emergency generators.
Falling debris from ther WTC penetrated WTC7 and started a small fire.

is that the official excuse for the fall of 7? and yet they built their new #7 right on the exact spot that the old one was on. maybe silverstein doubled his "built on a bridge" ins. for this new one just as he doubled his "terror attack" ins. for the old one. it fell because it was built on a bridge? ha. might as well say #7 was simply overcome with grief at the loss of it's two companions.

These amplified frequencies coincide with radio bands reserved for government use according to the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Statistical evidence suggests the use of helmets may in fact enhance the government's invasive abilities.

He does a great talk in part 1(of 6 parts) of a talk about the Illuminati reguarding how most everyones lives are ruled by fear of what others think about them. I think the psychology applys completely to what were dealing with concerning 911. If your bored crack a nice cold Bells Oberon and check it out.

Ray McGovern on Goss,
Ray McGovern on Goss, Cheney, 911, and the commission in a counterpunch article july 6, 2004 The Senate Intelligence Committee Report
"The report due out this week by the Senate Intelligence Committee investigating intelligence performance regarding the long-sought-after Iraqi weapons of mass destruction is said to be scathing in its criticism of CIA. No problem. This too will help keep the focus where the White House wants it - the more so since committee chair and Republican stalwart Pat Roberts (R-KS) can be counted on to do whatever Cheney and Rove tell him to do. It was not until Roberts was instructed to give Tenet the cold shoulder that the latter began to see the handwriting on the wall.
As for Porter Goss, he was happy to let the Senate intelligence committee take the lead in investigating intelligence performance on key issues like weapons of mass destruction and, before he decided to promote his candidacy for director, he generally chose to keep his committee's head (and his own) down. With good reason. The myriad shortcomings in intelligence work appeared on his somnolent watch; by any reasonable standard, he bears some responsibility for impaired oversight - not only on Iraq, but on 9/11 as well.
The 9/11 Commission Report
Republicans handpicked by Cheney also dominate the 9/11 Commission, which is supposed to issue its report by July 26. Although commission chair, Thomas Kean and vice-chair Lee Hamilton have sought to appear nonpartisan, they have already caved in to White House pressure to alter the findings of commission staff.
At stake was no less an issue than whether the vice president usurped Bush's power as commander-in-chief in ordering the shoot-down of suspicious airliners on Sept. 11, 2001. The staff found no hard evidence to support Cheney's claim that he called Bush and got his authorization. According to Newsweek, 'some staffers flat out didn't believe a call ever took place,' and an early staff draft reflected deep skepticism.
The White House lobbied vigorously to change the offending passage, with spokesman Dan Bartlett insisting, 'We didn't think it was written in a way that clearly reflected the accounting the president and vice president had given to the commission.' Kean and Hamilton backed down and removed some of the offending language. 'The report was watered down,' one staffer admitted to Newsweek.
Watch for more watering down. By now Kean and Hamilton have doubtless been warned by the White House that if the highly controversial staff report that there is 'no credible evidence that Iraq and al-Qaeda cooperated on attacks against the United States' is allowed to stand, this would place further strain on the legal underpinnings of the war on Iraq. On March 19, 2003, the day the war began, President Bush sent a letter to Congress in which he said that the war was permitted under legislation authorizing force against those who 'planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001.'
Kean is already backing off. A few days after the release of the staff report he emphasized repeatedly that it is only an 'interim report.' He added that not only is it 'not finished,' but also the commissioners themselves have not been involved in it so far.
Democrat Commissioner Richard Ben-Veniste does not see it this way. As Kean was talking to ABC's This Week, Ben-Veniste told NBC's Tim Russert, 'There was no Iraqi involvement in 9/11. That's what our commission found. That's what our staff, which includes former high-ranking CIA officials, who know what to look for (found).'
Ah, but what about the additional information that Cheney says he 'probably' has? Kean was quick to note that the final report will include whatever 'new information' becomes available. In other words, there are already ample signs that the Republican commissioners will continue to succeed in watering down findings critical of the administration, while highlighting those critical of intelligence performance.
Goss on 9/11
With respect to the various investigations into 9/11, Goss was thrust into the limelight by Cheney, who initially opposed any investigation at all. In February 2002, Cheney went so far as to warn that if Congress decided to go ahead with an investigation, administration officials might not show up to testify. When folks started talking about the need for a genuinely independent commission, though, Cheney acquiesced in the establishment of the congressional joint committee as the lesser evil and took reassurance from the fact that Goss could be counted on to keep the lid on--and, when necessary, run rings around co-chair Sen. Bob Graham, (D-FL).
Porter Goss performed that task brilliantly, giving clear priority to providing political protection for the president. Goss acquiesced when the White House and CIA refused to allow the joint committee to report out any information on what President Bush had been told before 9/11--ostensibly because it was "classified." This gave rise to thinly disguised, but eloquently expressed, chagrin on the part of the committee staff director, who clearly had expected stronger backing in her negotiations with White House officials.
As a result, completely absent from the committee's report was any mention of the President's Daily Brief of Aug. 6, 2001, which bore the title "Bin Laden determined to strike in US," even though the press had already reported the title and the gist of that damning piece of evidence. Small wonder that the families of 9/11 victims were outraged and pressed even harder for an independent investigation.
And a First for a Congressional Committee
The most notable (and bizarre) achievement of the joint committee was inviting the FBI to investigate members of Congress. In June 2002, Cheney called Goss and Graham to chastise them for a media leak of sensitive information from intercepted communications. A CNN report had attributed the leak to "two congressional sources," and Cheney was livid.
Goss admitted to being "chagrined" over Cheney's call. He and Graham promptly bypassed normal congressional procedures and went directly to Attorney General John Ashcroft, asking him to investigate the leak. Little thought apparently was given to the separation of powers between the executive and congressional branches, or the fact that Congress has its own capability for such investigations.
Next thing you know, the FBI is crawling all over Capitol Hill, questioning members of the joint committee that is investigating the FBI, CIA, et al., and asking members of Congress to submit to lie-detector tests. Shaking his head, Sen. John McCain (R-NM) noted the ludicrousness of allowing the FBI to build dossiers on lawmakers who are supposed to be investigating the FBI. He and others joined those pushing for the creation of an independent 9/11 commission.
That Goss and Graham could be so easily intimidated by Cheney speaks volumes."

The problem is that physics can't deceive engineers. We still have to present evidence of explosives that eliminates the possibility that they came down the way the offical story claims. I don't think Jones has been able to do it.

The issue is: anyone with a science backgroud (this includes me) knows that hydrocarbon-based fires cannot melt steel. I don't give a rat's ass what gov't paid engineers or "scientists" have to say about that. A case simply cannot be made that a building materials/office contents fire is capable of melting steel.
Oh come now. The Bush/Cheney
Oh come now. The Bush/Cheney regime would only allow scientists/engineers with the utmost honesty & integrity work for our gov't. You certainly aren't suggesting that any liars or frauds would be tolerated under their administration, would you?

I was responding to your statement: "A case simply cannot be made that a building materials/office contents fire is capable of melting steel." It is perfectly reasonable to assume you meant the contents-fueled fires before the buildings collapsed. Also, Lowe refered to "the spilling steel from the South Tower."
As for molten steel in the basement it is still an unproven claim. Pictures just show hot, glowing steel, not pools of molten metal, and it hasn't been disproved that fires of flammable material from the collapses could be the source of the heat.
The 'spilling steel' is also still just a claim because it has not shown to be even metal at this point.
These claims need to be verified before they can be used as evidence or proof.

The molten steel claim comes from a number of eyewitnesses, people who were engineers in charge of the excavation, and were some of the most likely people to know whether there was molten steel running under the debris they walked on.
George Washington links a number of these sources here:

You can also find others by looking up Griffin's sources that he cites in his paper.

Yeah I've seen those all before but they can't conclusively be connected with explosives particularly when the heat was present until December. Something had to be burning for a long period of time, impossible for explosives. Without actual evidence of explosives it is not possible to say that because there may have been molten metal and the heat was present for months that only explosive demolition could have been responsible.

The million dollar question
The million dollar question is :what melted the steel? there is molten steel in all three buildings including 7.This is widely documented.Supporters of the official story admit that jet fuel does not burn hot enough to melt steel,but this doesn,t matter because it only needed to weaken,or as truth out put it,"soften".The steel was melted,so what melted it?

Neither. We NEED the facts.

It is a fact that sheetrock and office materials (even mixed with kerosine) CANNOT burn hot enough to melt steel or even WEAKEN STEEL enough for a free-fall speed symmetrical collapse to occur.
Anyone who claims otherwise has an agenda other than the truth.
I have read that the
I have read that the released tapes of fire department calls has a fire captain reaching the 78th floor of the North Tower and saying he has a plan to put the fire out and that it will take an hour.
Question: does that mean he didn't find any fires on the floors below?

Do you maintain that it is, as you stated, "reasonable" to believe that the massive steel columns in BOTH the Twin Towers could soften sufficiently in less than TWO hours time (just over an hour for the South Tower) to the point of collapse??? Please don't bother bringing the jet crashes into the mix. The Towers were designed to withstand those and more (details and references available upon request). Then we have the free-fall collapse speed factor, squibs, multiple explosions heard and seen by many witnesses, multi-ton steel beams blasting out horizontally for 400 feet etc., etc.

The Spanish building was a concrete building not a steel-frame building. It had steel framing attached to the concrete, part of which collapsed on the top floors.
"Do you maintain that it is, as you stated, "reasonable" to believe that the massive steel columns in BOTH the Twin Towers could soften sufficiently in less than TWO hours time (just over an hour for the South Tower) to the point of collapse???
It was primary the thinner floor trusses that weakened and sagged not the steel core.
"Please don't bother bringing the jet crashes into the mix. The Towers were designed to withstand those and more (details and references available upon request)."
The towers did survive the crashes as designed. If they hadn't they would have fallen right away. But they were damaged and the fires did weaken the structures to the point they could not hold up the portions above the crash points.

I think that Prof. Steven
I think that Prof. Steven Jones has some interesting things to say in his FEMA-NIST critique that should be discussed vigorously in academic and professional circles.
However, I have to say that Prof. Jones religious embellishments do nothing to enhance his position in this discussion. On the contrary, they seem to detract from his credibility. I realize that tidbits of dogma might play well at BYU, but I don't see what it has to do with establishing a scientific argument about a physical event in the real world.
Prof. Jones is fond of quoting "Saint" Paul. My academic studies of Paul strongly suggest that the inventor and promulgator of the Christ myth was a huxster and Roman agent provocateur who corrupted the ethical and earthbound philosophy of the original movement founded by James, the reputed brother of the man we likely mistakenly refer to as Jesus. I winced when I heard Jones injecting Paul into his arguments. What has Church doctrine have to do with the scientific investigation of a physical event? It is true that for the moment we see through a glass darkly, but in time, as the truth emerges - which the science seems to support - we could indeed come face to face with the pathological mental cases who perpetrated the worst crimes in the history of the US.
That, too, is a view that makes some assumptions. Since there is no statutory limit on treason and murder, it is no surprise that the current administration is not particularly fond of the rule of law. It could very well be that we'll see a reiteration of 9/11 before the midterm elections, the suspension of the Constitution, Congress and the courts and the declaration of Martial Law. There are palpable indications that such planning may be underway.
I don't believe in archaic dualities like good and evil. I believe that there is ethical behavior and unethical behavior - the latter driven by some form of mental disease.
Our President's behavior throughout his residency in the WH has been marked by extreme secrecy, contempt for the law, and this extraordinary effort to build firewalls around his activities (which his political party and the sycophantic MSM have been only too eager to oblige). This is not the modality of an innocent person. It sure fits the profile of a psychopath, though.
