THE CONTROLLED DEMOLITION OF WTC 7 BY JIM HOFFMAN
This is the best essay we know of regarding the destruction of World Trade Center Building 7. It was written by the brilliant 9/11 researcher Jim Hoffman, and the original may be viewed here
CONTROLLED DEMOLITION
Buildings do fall vertically like Building 7, when destroyed by controlled demolition.
The controlled demolition of large structures is a well developed art and science. Removing a tall building from an urban landscape without damaging adjacent structures -- a considerable engineering feat -- is a task that only a handful of controlled demolitions companies specialize in. One such company is Controlled Demolition Inc., which, incidentally, was subcontracted by Tully Construction to coordinate the removal of rubble from Ground Zero and the disposal of the structural steel in the months following the attack.
The steel skeletons of buildings like WTC 7 are extremely robust. They are designed to withstand earthquakes and hurricanes, and are over-engineered to handle several times the maximum loads anticipated during their lifetimes. Such steel skeletons have local structural integrity. An event that destroyed one portion of the structure would not cause distant portions to shatter. If some force obliterated the load-bearing columns well below the top of a 600-foot tall skyscraper, the top of the building would topple like a tree, not smash its way down through intact floors and into its foundation.
Controlled demolition destroys vertical steel structures while overcoming their tendency to topple onto adjacent real-estate. It does so by shattering the steel skeleton through the precisely timed detonation of explosive charges.
Demolitions are large undertakings with high stakes. The number of charges required is at least the number of columns times some fraction of the number of floors. An error in timing of the detonations could cause expensive collateral damage.
Most demolitions seek to implode the building, causing the mass to move toward the center, resulting in a tidy rubble pile. In tall buildings this is typically done by shattering the interior structures of the building first or ahead of the exterior structures. That causes the interior mass to fall first, pulling outer structures toward the center. Pieces of the outer walls end up on top of the rubble pile. 1
Building 7's documented vertical plunge and tidy rubble pile with exterior wall fragments on top are exactly the kinds of results that controlled demolitions achieve through careful engineering.

VIDEOS SHOW BUILDING 7'S VERTICAL COLLAPSE
The survival of several video recordings of Building 7's collapse, though of low resolution, allow study of the building's motion and the time of collapse.

VIDEOS SHOW BUILDING 7'S VERTICAL COLLAPSE
The survival of several video recordings of Building 7's collapse, though of low resolution, allow study of the building's motion and the time of collapse.
Each of the following videos shows the entire visible portion of the building falling with a vertical precision otherwise seen only in controlled demolition. Moreover, they show that the collapse took only about 6.5 seconds from start to finish. That rate of fall is within a second of the time it would take an object to fall from the building's roof with no air resistance.

LOCAL CORPORATE MEDIA ENDORSES PRESENTATION BY UTICANS FOR 9/11 TRUTH!
David Dancy, who writes for the Life and Times of Utica (owned by the Journal-Register Company) has published his essay regarding our September 2007 presentation in Utica. This appears on the editorial page of the weekly, and we consider it a formal editorial endorsement not only of Herb Smith's excellent program, but also of all those who dare to question the Official Story of 9/11.

UTICANS ENDORSE RON POPEIL!
Now that Ron Paul has dropped out of the Presidential race, and Les Paul (despite our importunings) could not be persuaded to run, The Uticans for 9/11 Truth have decided to throw our full and unconditional support behind inventor Ron Popeil. Second only to Edison in his brilliance and impact on our daily lives, Ron Popeil is the next obvious and logical choice to lead this country. Not only will he make America work again, he'll make it work for only $39.95. That's right--just $39.95! But wait--there's more! If you join the Popeil for America effort today, you'll also get the amazing Kitchen Politician! He slices! He dices! He cuts taxes as easy as one-two-three! Don't delay! Call 1-800-VOTERON today!UPDATE: As evidenced below, Ron Popeil has already done more for us than any other candidate.

RIPPLES IN THE POND -- REPERCUSSIONS FROM OUR SEPTEMBER PRESENTATION
I was listening to my friend Pete Bianco's WHCL radio program this morning, and his guest over the course of three hours was David B. Dancy, who spoke intelligently and entertainingly on many topics. The topic turned to 9/11, and it turns out that David Dancy attended our September 24, 2007 presentation and wrote a compelling post on the topic HERE. The comments, particularly the remarks of a persistent shill, are revealing.
Pete, by the way, has helped with many of our public events, and set up the presentation at The Other Side.

"UNCENSORED?" HORSESHIT!
Okay, HERE it is, as expected--another Swiss-Army Knife of deceit. Philip Shenon of the New York Times digs into the 9/11 Commission and discovers it stinks. One's initial reaction would be, "Welcome to the party, Phil--the dip's almost all gone but there might be a beer in the back of the fridge." Well, it would be that, except that his expose serves mainly to (1) throw mud on the Republican administration so as to discredit the GOP and thus lay a red carpet for Queen Hillary, and (2) reinforce the Al Queda myth, even offering up a juicy tidbit about Iran "helping the hijackers." ("Well, we gotta bomb 'em now!")
This is no surprise at all--and springing this right before Stupid Tuesday was timed with Swiss Army Watch accuracy. In addition to hawking his book on Fresh Air Monday, Shenon appeared on the Diane Rehm Show today.
What we have to realize is that we don't have a monkey wrench big enough to throw into the works--and that such "revelations" as Shenon offers are part of the works.

HEGELIAN HOEDOWN DEPT.: "SEPTEMBER CLUES" BUSTED
Anthony Lawson, who did "This Is An Orange," offers his critique on "September Clues"--he appears on this program to discuss the (non) validity of no-plane theories.
There is no safe haven from mendacity in the 9/11 business. Obviously, we have to get back to basics (such as discrediting the Official Story) and jettison all the frilly bits, whatever their seeming plausibility.

IT'S OFFICIAL: "SKEPTIC" MICHAEL SHERMER IS KING OF THE WEASELS
According to self-anointed "skeptic" Mr. Michael Shermer, those who harbor honest doubts about the Official Story of September 11, 2001 are "a pack of liars"--and the moral equivalent of Holocaust deniers. (Thanks to John Gannon, who is the "Michael Mooreish" documentary filmmaker mentioned in the piece.)
No, we're not anti-Semitic--we're anti-Semantic. We don't believe in using weasel-words to damn those who don't happen to agree with us. Most of us started out accepting the Official Story (or the major portion thereof) until we realized it holds about as much water as your average kitchen colander. Any "skeptic" who holds tenaciously to that "pack of lies" and daubs the feces of "anti-Semitism" on those who contest it is either clueless or (more likely) thoroughly compromised.
Yeah, Mike, I'm an anti-Semite--and my great-grandfather was an Episcopalian.

HERB SMITH'S "EVIDENCE FOR EXOTIC WEAPONRY" IN LIFE & TIMES OF UTICA!
Herb Smith's letter on exotic weaponry was printed in the most recent edition of The Life & Times of Utica. Herb's piece uses some of the ground-breaking research conducted by Dave of 911 Blimp, and was written with his blessing. The Utica Observer-Dispatch did not print the letter, possibly because they couldn't understand it.
To the Editor,
Air samples from the 9/11 WTC particle plumes reveal the unexpected presence of many particles smaller than 1 micron (i.e., nanoparticles). Among the smaller Ground Zero particles, the distribution of their sizes--the upturn in the amount of particles as their size approached zero (UC Davis Delta Group DRUM Data, ALS S-XFR Analysis)--indicates they were caused not by pulverization but by widespread molecular dissociation.
When molecular dissociation occurs, covalent molecular bonds are broken but atomic bonds survive. The resulting particles--loose component atoms and fragmented molecules--are far tinier than what can occur as a result of a collapse or any conventional explosive event including volcanic eruptions.
The enormous amount of excess energy (temperatures at or above tens of thousands of degrees Fahrenheit) required for molecular dissociation is one of the unmistakable pieces of evidence for the use of exotic weaponry to bring down the WTC Buildings on 9/11.

THE "TERRORIST" AND THE MEMENTO MORI
This ad came up when I chanced to look at the Chicago Tribune's story about Jose Padilla.
DIGNITY IN THE MIDST OF DISASTER.
The EveryBodyTM Coffin provides response organizations with an alternative for managing mass fatalities by using a recognizable and traditional solution to a nontraditional problem. This unique coffin, with its patented, all natural wood design, allows for flat storage, assembly without tools and efficient stacking. For around $200, municipalities, hospitals and others now have an option when dealing with this public, yet personal issue.
Available in two sizes:
Large (MC4042): $195.00
Small (MC4043): $185.00
They REALLY want to keep us from thinking "outside the box" here.

UTICAN CARMEN CARAMANICA
Not at all related to 9/11 Truth, but Carmen Caramanica is our guitar hero. He's also a wonderful guy, and played for me and my wife on our 10th anniversary. (On a side note: Peter Franchell, the videographer here, assisted us in putting together the DVDs used in our live presentations.)
MICHAEL LANGSTON'S RETORT TO NO-PLANERS
I like Michael Langston, and he does a great service by posting a HUGE number of pertinent audios and videos concerning 9/11 HERE. He sides firmly with the Steven Jones camp, and is dismissive of more "exotic" theories of what happened on 9/11. (In some cases, quite justifiably so.) Here he addresses those who question the use of actual airliners in bringing down the towers. I'm beginning to consider the merits of the no-plane theory, as I suspect there is much more to it than is being pushed by straw men and women like Reynolds and Wood. The following material is presented so that polite discussion on its merits may ensue.
Take a quick look at the following short video, which shows that even liquid WATER can cut through hard steel, if propelled with sufficient velocity, a velocity comparable to that of a fast-moving plane.
If a tiny, soft jet of fast-moving water can cut through hard steel like a knife through butter, isn't it also conceivable that the tons of aluminum and other metal parts of a fast-moving aircraft could certainly do likewise?
It's definitely something that one should consider.
To All You WTC No Planers
Still agree with Morgan Reynolds that aluminum planes are too soft and fragile to have easily penetrated the World Trade Center towers as shown in the videos and that the videos which show this happening are consequently faked? Do you believe in this notion of "video fakery" and that there weren't any planes that impacted the towers, in spite of the fact that people actually saw them?Take a quick look at the following short video, which shows that even liquid WATER can cut through hard steel, if propelled with sufficient velocity, a velocity comparable to that of a fast-moving plane.

HITTING YOURSELF IN THE HEAD WITH A BALL-PEEN HAMMER FOR ONE HOUR
Is exactly the equivalent to listening to THIS program. (Thanks--for the want of a better word--to Dwight.)
Seriously, how can these people live without oxygen getting to their brains? (They actually make THIS pair sound reasonable in comparison.) And who would name a youth movement after himself, other than that unitesticulate wallpaper technician of dim history?
If you can still stomach this topic, there's a good program on it HERE.
