thats a real interesting side note.

In Their Own Words
The Truth and Lies of 9/11

"Within hours of the 9/11 attacks, Jerome Hauer, director of New York City’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) from 1996 to 2000, appears on CBS News with Dan Rather. Rather asks him if pre-positioned explosives could have been used to bring down the Twin Towers. Hauer discounts the possibility, saying: “[M]y sense is that just the velocity of the plane and the fact that you have a plane filled with fuel hitting that building that burned, that the velocity of the plane certainly had an impact on the structure itself. And then the fact that it burned and you had that intense heat probably weakened the structure as well. And I think it was simply the planes hitting the buildings and causing the collapse.”

That's odd Adam's defending the Harley Guy- he does such a good job of explaining why people are skeptical: "The reason the guy is suspected to be a plant is because, so early in the day when everyone is in shock, and when even the MSM was still confused as to why the buildings collapsed so totally and speculating about secondary devices, Harley says in such a cock sure fashion that the buildings "collapsed from structural failure because the fire was just too intense.""

I didn't claim his video statement is "proof" he's a plant; I said he's "most probably" a plant- for the reasons Adam pointed out; it's just so incredibly convenient for the OCT- and it meshes so well with Hauer's credulous and immediate explaining away of the WTC towers disintegrating into dust as plane damage and "intense heat"- at a time when even compromised MSM were raising questions. It would be good to get the guy under oath, but by itself it's not 'evidence'; it's an interesting artifact that raises questions and plants seeds.

re: Adam's 'side note'- in addition to the damage path and the plane parts, there are around 100 people interviewed by media right after or soon after the Pentagon attack, whose statements are consistent with a plane impacting the Pentagon

If the perps figured it would take 100+ planted witnesses to convince the public that a plane hit the Pentagon at a time when no one who wasn't in the know knew it was going to be hit and there were no people hanging around with cameras on the off chance it might be (some people were taking pics/video immediately afterward), why did they only arrange for only the Harley Guy-'random average bystander' (or at the most several others who haven't yet been discovered in the 9/11 footage- which many people have already reviewed) to plant the idea that the exploding WTC towers were really the result of jet-fuel fire weakened steel collapsing, at a time when the eyes of NYC and much of the world were watching them turn into huge clouds of dust "essentially in free fall", to quote NIST? There's quite a bit of video of people reporting hearing 'bombs' and 'explosions', etc. People were immediately speculating it was controlled demolition. Perhaps more witnesses weren't planted (assuming Harley Guy's a plant, but not that it matters if he wasn't) because they knew they could count on the compromised corporate media and establishment pols and bureaucrats to go along with the story? Perhaps they didn't know it would be so obvious on video- but they were already all in, committed to spending the rest of their lives pretending the Emperor's wearing clothes- or face being prosecuted for mass murder and treason, disgraced, imprisoned, wealth confiscated and their entire corrupt system and way of life exposed and ruined.
