Architect Dr. Richard Gage's 9/11 Truth Crusade: Architect Dr. Richard Gage, a 30-year professional, leads organization 'Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth' claiming 3000+ pros believe Twin Towers, Building 7 collapsed due to controlled demolitions, not natural causes, despite criticism and pushback.
Dr. Richard Gage, a 30-year architect and member of the American Institute of Architects, became a leading figure in the debate surrounding the events of September 11, 2001, after discovering evidence that the Twin Towers and Building 7 collapsed due to controlled demolitions rather than natural causes. Gage's organization, Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth, claims to represent over 3,000 professionals in the field who share this belief. Despite facing criticism and pushback, Gage remains dedicated to advocating for a real investigation into the attacks. He was removed from a September 11th miniseries produced by Spike Lee due to pressure from HBO and other authorities, leading to his departure from the organization. Gage now continues his work independently through his website, richardgauge911.org.
New York Times omits 9/11 from anniversary front page: The New York Times deliberately omitted 9/11 from its anniversary front page, disrespecting American history and the families affected.
The omission of the 9/11 tragedy from the New York Times front page on the 21st anniversary is a significant and intentional oversight that is an insult to American history and the families affected by the tragedy. The speaker argues that this is not an error, but a deliberate decision, and questions what the newspaper's coverage of 9/11 looked like in the years leading up to this. The speaker expresses his disappointment and loss of credibility towards the New York Times for this omission. The speaker's larger point is that acknowledging and honoring significant historical events is a matter of respect and community recognition.
Skepticism towards mainstream media and established institutions: The speaker questions the accuracy and completeness of mainstream media coverage of historical events and distrusts established institutions, preferring to conduct their own research and investigations.
The speaker expresses skepticism towards certain events and stories covered by mainstream media, particularly those related to historical events like 9/11 and the official narratives surrounding them. They question the accuracy and completeness of media coverage and believe that important details and information are often overlooked or omitted. The speaker also expresses a distrust in established institutions like the government and educational institutions, and a preference for conducting their own research and investigations. They challenge widely accepted theories and beliefs, such as the shape of the Earth or the moon landing, and express a desire to uncover the truth behind these and other controversial topics. Overall, the speaker values critical thinking and questioning the status quo, and is not easily swayed by mainstream narratives or accepted wisdom.
Challenges to NIST's Explanations for 9/11 Building Collapses: Experts challenge NIST's assumptions about 9/11 building collapses, citing evidence of molten iron, witness testimonies of explosions, and lack of support for key assumptions like heated beams and domino effects.
The explanations provided by NIST for the collapses of the Twin Towers and Building 7 during 9/11 have been challenged by various experts. They argue that key assumptions made by NIST, such as the idea that beams heated up to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit and expanded, or that girders slid off their seats and caused domino effects, are not supported by the evidence. Additionally, the discovery of molten iron in the debris, which should not have existed based on the official narrative, raises questions about the true cause of the collapses. Some experts, like Professor Leroy Hulsey, have conducted extensive studies and concluded that the buildings did not come down due to fire but rather due to the controlled demolition of all columns within a second of each other. Witness testimonies of explosions before the buildings collapsed and evidence of incendiaries in the dust further support this theory.
Metallurgical examinations suggested hot temperature corrosion attack on WTC steel due to molten iron: Metallurgical reports found molten iron, possibly from thermite, in WTC dust and steel, contradicting official narrative of collapse due to fire
The metallurgical examination published by FEMA in 2002, which was later discarded by NIST, suggested that there was a hot temperature corrosion attack on the steel in the World Trade Center towers. This attack was attributed to the presence of liquid molten iron, which is a byproduct of thermite, an incendiary used to cut through steel. There are numerous reports and studies, including from structural engineer Leslie Robertson, of molten iron flowing like lava from the towers before their collapse. Nanothermite, a sophisticated form of thermite, was found in dust samples from the World Trade Center site, and when ignited, it produces molten iron microspheres with the same chemical signature as those found in the dust. These findings suggest that thermite or a similar incendiary may have been used to bring down the towers, contradicting the official narrative that the buildings collapsed due to fire. The discovery of unignited nanothermite in the concrete samples adds further evidence to this theory. The implications of these findings are significant, as they suggest that the official explanation for the collapse of the World Trade Center towers may not be accurate.
Challenging the Official Narrative of the WTC Collapse: Observed facts of WTC collapse contradict official narrative, raising suspicions of an inside job due to ownership transfer and elevator modernization.
The official narrative of the collapse of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11 cannot account for the observed facts, such as the squibs or isolated explosive ejections, the complete shattering of the structures, and the lack of sufficient material to crush the buildings. Additionally, the timing and circumstances surrounding the transfer of ownership of the buildings to Larry Silverstein and the elevator modernization project raise suspicions of an inside job. These findings challenge the widely accepted explanation of the towers' collapse and call for further investigation.
Larry Silverstein's Terrorism Insurance and 9/11 Payout: Larry Silverstein bought terrorism insurance before 9/11, received a large payout, but conspiracy theories suggest insider trading, official report found no evidence, and controversy continues over timing and size of payout, as well as Building 7's collapse
Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the World Trade Center complex, purchased terrorism insurance just before the 9/11 attacks and received a large payout from Swiss Re, a reinsurance company, after the tragedy. Conspiracy theories suggest that this payout was the result of insider trading, but the official report did not find sufficient evidence to support this claim. Silverstein's decision to buy terrorism insurance and the subsequent payout have been subjects of controversy, with some questioning the timing and the size of the payout. The insurance industry's investigation and hiring of investigators to prevent fraudulent claims add to the complexity of the issue. Additionally, Building 7, which was not hit by an airplane, was controversially pulled down, leading to speculation and conflicting reports regarding the reasons for its collapse.
9/11: Suspicions of an Inside Job: Suspicions of an inside job on 9/11 persist due to inconsistencies with official narrative, reports of explosions before collapses, and beliefs of experts, but lack of investigation or rebuttal from authorities
There are strong suspicions within the 9/11 truth movement that the events of September 11, 2001, were an inside job. This belief is based on the fact that Al Qaeda, the group officially blamed for the attacks, likely did not have access to the highly secure buildings involved. Witnesses, like Kevin McPadden, have reported hearing explosions before the collapse of Building 7, which is inconsistent with the official narrative of the attacks. Many architects and engineers, totaling over 3,000 years of technical credibility, have spoken out about their belief in explosive demolition as the cause of the collapses. Despite this evidence, the 9/11 truth movement is often censored in mainstream media, and there is a lack of investigation or rebuttal from the government or mainstream sources. Some argue that the insurance aspect of the attacks, with the cost of rebuilding estimated at $9 billion and Silverstein's court strategy being a virtual necessity, raises concerns and questions about potential motives for an inside job. However, it's important to note that this theory is not universally accepted as fact, and further investigation and evidence are needed to fully understand the events of that day.
Ethical questions raised by large-scale operations: Large-scale operations involving many people can lead to guilt and potential harm to individuals and society, highlighting the complexities and consequences of such actions.
The number of people involved in carrying out a large-scale operation, such as setting up explosives, raises ethical questions about their conscience and potential guilt. If we assume 50 people were involved in such an operation and they saw the aftermath, many would be filled with guilt and may try to escape through substance abuse or suicide. The guilt could spread to their families and eventually leak to the public. It's a complex issue with no easy answers, and it's important to consider the potential consequences of large-scale operations on individuals and society as a whole. The discussion also highlighted the compartmentalized nature of black operations and the limited knowledge even high-ranking officials have about them.
Evidence of 9/11 cover-up and foreign involvement: Compelling evidence suggests explosive demolition of Twin Towers, suppression by media and power, potential foreign agents, CIA's questionable role, uncovering truth crucial for democracy, anyone with info encouraged to contact Patrick Bet-David.
There are serious concerns regarding the actions of certain individuals or groups involved in the 9/11 tragedy, and the suppression of information related to it. The speaker asserts that there is compelling evidence of explosive demolition of the Twin Towers, but the media and those in power have prevented this information from reaching the public. The speaker also suggests that there may be foreign agents involved and that the CIA, among other agencies, may not be entirely dedicated to helping democracy. He emphasizes the importance of uncovering the truth and encourages anyone with relevant information to come forward and share it with Patrick Bet-David at Valuetainment. The speaker's belief is that the suppression of this information is a matter of national importance and that Americans deserve to know what truly happened on that fateful day.
The human factor in covert operations: Even those with fewer personal connections may grapple with moral implications of actions, underscoring the importance of considering the human factor in covert operations and understanding 9/11 events.
The human element plays a significant role in keeping secrets and living with the consequences of actions, even if large sums of money are involved. The discussion revolved around the idea that individuals who have fewer personal connections are easier to recruit and compromise for covert operations. However, the speaker expressed skepticism about this notion, pointing out that even those who are cold and alone may still struggle with the moral implications of their actions. The focus on technical elements, such as explosives and building plans, should not overshadow the importance of considering the human factor in understanding the events of 9/11 and their aftermath. The evidence presented, which has been given to a grand jury, should be the primary focus in seeking justice for the victims and their families. The conversation also touched on the town's love for Bill Clinton and the topic of his alleged womanizing.
Anecdotes about Bill Clinton's behavior and concerns over pardons: The speaker raises concerns about potential corruption during Bill Clinton's last days in office and encourages investigation into alternative perspectives on controversial events
The speaker shares anecdotes about Bill Clinton's behavior towards his wife Hillary at various events and raises concerns about the large number of pardons issued during his last days in office, suggesting potential corruption. The speaker also questions the role of architects and structural engineers in demolitions and wonders why more attention isn't given to the "crew" capable of carrying out such complex operations. The speaker expresses skepticism towards the official narratives of certain events, such as the collapse of WTC 7, and encourages investigation into potential conspiracies. The speaker's tone is critical and questioning, and he emphasizes the importance of considering alternative perspectives and asking difficult questions.
Suspects in the 9/11 attacks: individuals and organizations with advanced knowledge or role in planning and execution: Research suggests some individuals and organizations may have had advanced knowledge or even played a role in the 9/11 attacks, but theories require critical and open-minded evaluation with credible sources and evidence.
The 9/11 attacks involved a complex web of individuals and organizations, some of whom may have had advanced knowledge or even played a role in the planning and execution of the attacks. Researchers like Kevin Ryan and David Ray Griffin have identified numerous suspects, including CEOs of corporations in the World Trade Center, who were moved out of the buildings before the attacks and may have had opportunities to place explosives. Some of these individuals, such as Paul Bremmer and Rudy Giuliani, have been linked to key roles in the aftermath of the attacks and have been accused of involvement in the planning and cover-up. While it's important to approach such theories with skepticism, the evidence presented by these researchers raises intriguing questions that deserve further investigation. The mental leap from the technical aspects of the attacks to the involvement of specific individuals may seem large, but it's a leap that has been made by many conspiracy theorists throughout history. It's crucial to approach such theories with a critical and open-minded perspective, and to rely on credible sources and evidence to support any conclusions.
Evidence for 9/11 Conspiracy Theories: Experts, commission members, and whistleblowers question the official narrative of 9/11, citing concerns about building collapses, unexplained phenomena, and suspicious financial transactions.
There are compelling arguments suggesting that the official narrative of the 9/11 attacks may not be complete. Technical experts, former commission members, and whistleblowers have raised concerns about the collapse of the Twin Towers and WTC 7, the presence of molten metal and extreme temperatures, and the unexplained disappearance of trillions of dollars from the Pentagon's accounts before the attacks. Peripheral evidence, such as Cheney's involvement in a biochemical attack drill on the day before 9/11 and the 9/11 Commission's accusations of lies from top government agencies, adds to the suspicion that high-level individuals were involved in an inside job. While it may not be possible to prove all the complicities, the evidence for explosive demolition and the inconsistencies in the official narrative are significant enough to merit further investigation.
Evidence of Explosives in WTC 7's Collapse: Despite the official report, evidence suggests explosives were used to bring down WTC 7 on 9/11, making its collapse unprecedented due to no skyscraper collapsing from fires before and the building's age and height.
The collapse of World Trade Center 7 on 9/11 cannot be explained solely by fire and structural damage. The evidence presented suggests that explosives were used to bring down the building, which contradicts the official report by NIST. This is significant because no skyscraper has ever collapsed due to fires before, and the age and height of WTC 7 make its collapse even more unusual. The discussion also referenced historical cases of major fires in buildings, such as the 1st Interstate building in Los Angeles and the Grenfell Tower in London, which did not collapse despite extensive fires. These examples further highlight the unprecedented nature of WTC 7's collapse. The speaker also emphasized the importance of acknowledging the implications of the building's free fall acceleration and the absence of any evidence for the supposed instability traveling from the east to the west. Overall, the evidence presented challenges the official explanation of WTC 7's collapse and raises questions about the role of explosives in the event.
Designing for plane crashes and fires: Despite being built to withstand significant impacts, the World Trade Center Towers fell due to structural failures, reminding us that various factors can lead to building collapses.
The World Trade Center Towers were designed to withstand significant impacts, including from planes larger than those involved in the 9/11 attacks. Structural engineers, such as John Skilling and Leslie Robertson, had intended for the buildings to be able to handle such occurrences due to their robust foundations and fireproofing. However, the collapse of the Champlain Towers in Miami, which occurred without a fire or plane impact, serves as a reminder that structural failures can still occur due to various reasons. While Osama Bin Laden denied involvement in the 9/11 attacks, some believe that high-ranking government officials, such as Dick Cheney and Rudy Giuliani, may have had motives and potential involvement.
Events of 9/11 and their aftermath with key figures: Explore further the motives behind 9/11, potential cover-ups, and the importance of updating government systems through research and documentaries like '9/11: Follow the Money' and works by David Ray Griffin.
The events of September 11, 2001, and the aftermath, involved key figures such as former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Vice President Dick Cheney. Other notable figures mentioned include Paul Bremer and the neocons who came into power under the Bush administration. The motive behind the attacks is a subject of much speculation, with some suggesting following the money trail leading to defense contractors and financial crimes. The technological inadequacies of the time, as highlighted by the speaker, may have contributed to the severity of the attacks and the subsequent cover-up. The speaker encourages further investigation through research and documentaries, such as "9/11: Follow the Money" by James Corbett and the works of David Ray Griffin. The importance of adapting and improving government systems in the face of technological advancements is also emphasized.
Prominent Figures Question 9/11 Official Narrative: Despite calls from public figures and former presidents, no substantial investigations have been conducted into potential government involvement or cover-ups regarding the 9/11 attacks.
There are prominent figures, including Cynthia McKinney and actors like Charlie Sheen, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, and Ed Asner, who have publicly questioned the official narrative of the 9/11 attacks and supported investigations into potential government involvement or cover-ups. Donald Rumsfeld, a key figure mentioned in the discussion, was grilled about suspicious drills and missing fighter jets on the day of the attacks, but no definitive answers were given. Despite calls for investigations from figures like Trump, no substantial inquiries have been conducted since. The speaker expresses their belief that no uncorrupted president has emerged since JFK and that the truth about 9/11 has yet to be revealed. Trump's recent comments on the topic were seen as evasive, and the speaker expressed disappointment that he did not follow through on his campaign promises to investigate the attacks further.
