[COMMENTARY: in time order of article theme on thermite at WTCs, videos, discussion, pictures;

[1] since thermite/thermate can be made of basic industrial chemicals, it can be made "tracerless"--i.e., avoid all signature tracer chemicals that the U.S. Govt requires be mixed in very small amounts in all highly powerful and highly monitored explosives to keep track of every batch's origin.

[2] Moreover if he has found it in WTC7, as he says, then with Silverstein admitting that he conducted a controlled demolition on 9-11 of WTC7 around 5:30 p.m., then Silverstein is admitting that WTC1, WTC2, and WTC7 all are thermate controlled demolitions.

[3] And who was in charge of WTC security? Why, Marvin Bush, brother of George W. Bush, on the board of Securatech.

[4] And written up in their mom's (ghostwritten) autobiography, Barbara Bush drops the other bombshell that it's just a coincidence that Marvin's contract at the WTCs was up on September 11, 2001 anyway. She wrote about it in the book!

[5] The Bush family through Marvin Bush have been in charge of security of the WTCs since immediately after the first failed terrorist attempt to knock down the WTCs one month into Clinton's Presidential tenure in 1993.

[6] The FBI is on record giving the order to conduct terrorism on the WTC in 1993, via their hired gun Salam, who didn't want to carry out the attack 'for real' since he was told by the FBI that he was hired simply for a sting opreation to arrest some perpetrators in a terror cell he infiltrated for the FBI. [two minute video summary on this: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6752092058844526234

[7] When the FBI instead told him to both suggest the WTC as a target for the 1993 attack, as well as teach them how to make bombs, as well as FBI allowing him to provide live explosives--their agent started taping everything covertly that he was ordered to do in reference to FBI ordering him to carry out the 1993 terrorist attack on the WTCs.

[8] Immediately after the failed attack on the WTCs, the Bush family, through a corporate shell vehicle owned in part by the royal family of Kuwait, the Kuwaiti/American Corporation, was put in charge of security at the WTCs, with Marvin Bush on board.

[9] Seven weeks before the controlled demolitions of 9-11, the towers change hands in their first (rushed) sale, being all bought up by Silverstein, who introduces a huge terrorism insurance appendage.

[10] Despite admitting publicly that HE gave the order (in the PBS special "America Rebuilds") to blow up his own WTC7 on 9-11, the whole thing is so corrupt that he still collects 500 million dollars on the "terrorist destruction alibi" of WTC7, and has already collected several billion dollars on the 'terrorism clause' in the WTC1/2 insurance.

[11] and We already know that the anthrax that was sent to congress and which killed several postal workers in the process (sent to Senator Daschle and to Senator Leahy), was weaponized under a covert CIA only contract, and it was a domestic Ames strain of anthrax coming from one of three or four of the U.S. bioweapons labs.[

12] The "Patriot Act" was already written up before 9-11, just required a whiff of domestic anthrax to force passage with a bit more bio-terrorism on the Congress itself by domestic terrorists;

[13] Bush and his whole Cabinet of course were out of danger: they were taking an anthrax exclusive drug to counter it, from September 11 onward, so when the anthrax hit in early October in DC, Bush's staff would be immune to the domestic-in-origin anthrax terrorism. The interesting point of course is Bush's whole team all psyched up and anticipating an anthrax attack one month in advance--which just so happens to be the incubation time for the anthrax bacilli--I could go on ad nauseum. The whole U.S. government is a terrorist unit, operating under the guise of its counter terrorism squads.]

Nonetheless, he DID get some key points out there and has a great deal of courage and we should all thank him for that.

VIDEO and review: Feb. 1, BYU Prof. Steven E. Jones packed presentation on 9-11 anomalies
author: repost and grouping
On February 1, 2006, BYU Professor Steven E. Jones gave a public lecture on the various anomalies of 9/11. The lecture took place at the Utah State Valley College in Orem, sponsored by the Center for the Study of Ethics, co-sponsored with the School of Science and Health, at UVSC.

The seminar revolves around various anomalies concerning the events of 9/11, notably, the rapid collapses of the WTC Towers, and specifically, WTC7, that comes under special scrutiny. The seminar also touches on political responses to the events of 9/11.

BE THERE: See Jones presentation for yourself on .avi video at the below link, or audio MP3 at another link.

Prof. Stephen Jones's lecture is very visual--driven by a multimedia slide presentation of text, photos and video clips.

The 150-seat auditorium was filled to capacity, with every seat occupied, and people sitting in the aisles from the stage floor to the back of the room. Video cameras on tripods lined the back row. Two documentary film crews were in attendance, plus the school's camera crew, and various independent journalists. Seven "spill-over" rooms, seating 40-50 each, were also filled to capacity.

...

"If Dr. Jones's work ever breaks into the mainstream media, and the rest of the country reacts the way the Utah County audience reacted, traditional political divisions will evaporate like steel beams exploded with thermite, and the whole lot of them, the Democrats and the Republicans, will be swept away, along with the military-industrial complex that has apparently managed to subvert the constitution of these United States and to con the American public, mesmerized by the shock of 9/11 and hypnotized by spell-binding incantations of freedom and patriotism, into going along with their mad plans for world domination."

9/11: Controlled Demolition not just thermite but "nanothermite"
author: Nico Haupt
...getting the bigger picture of the unconventional part for the 9/11 controlled demolition...
During early 2006, i informed the 911Scholars about unconventional weaponry,
who could have additionally forced the collapse.
The suspects for "nanoenergetics" aka superthermite as part of the unconventional part of the controlled demolition should be instead located at the "Center for NanoEnergetics Research" (created in Spring 2001, only a few months before 9/11), Department of Defense Contractor "NANOTECHNOLOGIES, Inc." (also founded during 2001), Sandia and Lawrence Livermore.

Radio Interview That is Source of Original Post

The source of the original post was an audio interview of Dr. Steven Jones by Alex Jones (no relation). I understand the interview took place at the Chicago 911 Truth Conference earlier this month. The whole interview is of interest. Alex Jones comes off slightly as the radio "shock jocky", maybe a little to often interrupts the academic for the sake of ostensible radio drama. Dr. Jones comes off as a prudent scientist valuing accuracy over sound bite drama. But that's just my take. Listen to the whole short interview. Jones also discusses his sources for the WTC samples. I hope I have linked it adaquately, as I am cybernetically slow as well as horrid speller. http://www.prisonplanet.tv/articles/june2006/160606jones.htm

9/11 will never be investigated by the MSM. Evidence is constantly being compiled against the gov't. As an aside, a show on demolitions on the History channel had an excellent sequence on thermite-explosions taking down buildings. They described how a steel beam is angle-cut so that it explodes outward and allows an easier take-down of the building. They also show after-effects of a demolition. The photographs in the History channel demolition channel are eeirily similar to the pictures of the destroyed WTC. Anyway, it doesn't matter because the gov't keeps caging protestors, forcing book outlets to stop selling books like "America Deceived" by E.A. Blayre III and spies on every phone call. Add those abilities with a military and it will be difficult to overcome.

Does anyone have experience with how long it would take to set up this controlled demolition?

I can foresee believers of the official fairy tale simply adjusting when they're confronted with undeniable proof: "Ok, the evil Iraqi terrorists flew planes into the building and damaged it so badly that its owner had to make the decision to blow it up to prevent worse damage. Just imagine the damage if they hadn't -- big chunks of the wall would have fallen down and caused even more damage to adjacent buildings. Thanks you for saving us, Marvin Bush! Let's nuke Iran and give Bush a 3rd term to make sure the world becomes a safe place".

Some Excerpts from the complete transcript listed at the end:

“J. Edgar Hoover once said: “The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a Conspiracy so monstrous- he simply cannot believe it existsف & he would know as I believe that Hoover is someone who spoke from experience, not conjecture.ف

“In the spirit Hoover’s observation, I’m here to ask the question: What if such a monstrous Conspiracy were broken down, processed, and then distilled into an easily comprehensible format, wherein it was effectively communicated to the audience by taking them behind the scenes- where the illusions could be easily understood by the all who wish to see, and perceived in a way that cannot be un-learned? What if the audience were shown the critical perspectives from which the illusions cease to hold any influence over their thoughts, feelings, and actions?ف

“Make no mistake, behind all of the smoke and mirrors of 9-11, there are people responsible who are more likely to be wearing a three piece suit and walking down Wall Street than a person hiding with a fellow shemagh-shrouded Taliban cave dweller outside of Khandaharف.

You can contact Richard +1-917-779-9215 Richard@Renaissance-Interventures.com http://www.8thestate.com/ http://www.911revisited.com/

“Anyone who has read the 300 + page Patriot Act can readily see that the actions being taken are for the purpose of dissolving the Constitution, deleting Constitutional Rights of privacy, speech, etc., and basically treating every American as a potential and plausible terrorist- because information is being collected on every single one of us. Giving up our Freedoms in order to attain alleged security can only result in a loss of both. And that’s why you have Halliburton building concentration camps in our backyards, and the constitution being neutered by the Patriots Act, I & II. If that’s news to you, Google on Oliver North’s REX-84 program or FEMA CAMPS, or the “civilian inmate labor programف being prepared by the Army for U.S. Citizens.ف

“As we all continue to learn more about this topic, we start to comprehend the grandiosity of the thefts and fraudulent transactions that took place under the umbrella of 9-11- specifically hundreds of billions of dollars worth of gold bricks which were surreptitiously liberated from their safety deposit vaults under the World Trade Center. Couple that with the realization of the verifiably true statement made by Donald Rumsfeld on September 10th 2001- wherein he announced that $2.3 trillion dollars in U.S. taxpayer funds had been misappropriated by Pentagon accountants and “lostف.ف

“Not only did Rumsfeld’s September 10th, 2001 announcement not draw much attention then, but even today it’s widely unknown, and it’s worth mentioning here that DynCorp [a company found guilty of running sex slave rings], which is partially responsible for the bogus Pentagon accounting, is still receiving tens of billions annually in Pentagon contracts, in other words, it’s my contention that what America doesn’t know is exactly what’s killing America, and Americans. Based on that contention- if we simply build a mechanism to restore the unrestricted flow of information to the People, the country should self-resuscitate.ف

“Unless you can explain how the Taliban infiltrated the secure vaults under the World Trade Center and stole hundreds of billions in [gold]bouillon, why the owners of that Bullion are keeping quiet, or how they got NORAD to conveniently schedule 6 simultaneous drills the same morning they were paying homage to the birthdays of their target buildings. In fact, those truly responsible are associated with commercial companies and government & private intelligence entities which, in many cases, are openly traded on the stock market, and deeply associated with the rogue admin
