FEMA videographer at Ground Zero goes public
There were many things, in hindsight, that were disturbing at Ground Zero. It was odd to me that I was dispatched to go to New York even before the second plane hit the South Tower, while the media was still reporting only that a “small plane” had collided with the North Tower — far too small of a catastrophe at that point to involve FEMA . FEMA was mobilized within minutes, whereas it took ten days for it to deploy to New Orleans to respond to Hurricane Katrina, even with abundant advance warning! It was odd to me that all cameras were so fiercely prohibited within the secured perimeter of Ground Zero, that the entire area was declared a crime scene and yet the “evidence” within that crime scene was so rapidly removed and destroyed. And then it was very odd to me when I learned that FEMA and several other federal agencies had already moved into position at their command center at Pier 92 on September 10th, one day before the attacks!
. . . We are asked to believe that all four of the “indestructible” black boxes of the two jets that struck the twin towers were never found because they were completely vaporized, yet I have footage of the rubber wheels of the landing gear nearly undamaged, as well as the seats, parts of the fuselage and a jet turbine that were absolutely not vaporized. This being said, I do find it rather odd that such objects could have survived fairly intact the type of destruction that turned most of the Twin Towers into thin dust. And I definitely harbor some doubts about the authenticity of the “jet” turbine, far too small to have come from one of the Boeings!
. . . When the North Tower fell, the US Customs House (Building 6) was crushed and totally incinerated. Much of the underground levels beneath it were also destroyed. But there were voids. And it was into one of those voids, recently uncovered, that I descended with a special Task Force to investigate. It was there we found the security antechamber to the vault, badly damaged. At the far end of the security office was the wide steel door to the vault, a combination code keypad in the cinderblock wall beside it. But the wall was cracked and partially crumbled, and the door was sprung partially open. So we checked inside with our flashlights. Except for several rows of empty shelves, there was nothing in the vault but dust and debris. It had been emptied. Why was it empty? And when could it have been emptied?

Pentagon 9/11: witness accounts
September 11, 2001
9:32 a.m. — Reports of “massive damage to the west side of the building . . . Multiple standard-issue, battery-operated wall clocks . . . stopped between 9:31 and 9:32-1/2”. (Barbara Honegger, "The Pentagon Attack Papers," physics911.net, September 6, 2006)
9:xx — Captain Defina arrives at Pentagon "two to three minutes" after seeing a plume of smoke, and his FMFD Engine 331 "knocked down the bulk of the fire in the first seven minutes after their arrival". (Stephen Murphy, National Fire Protection Association Journal, November 1, 2001)
9:37:46 — Flight 77 traveling at 530 mph strikes the Pentagon (The 9/11 Commission Report, p10)
Morning — “From my close up inspection there's no evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon. . . . . The only pieces left that you can see are small enough that you could pick up in your hand. There are no large tail sections, wing sections, fuselage - nothing like that anywhere around which would indicate that the entire plane crashed into the side of the Pentagon. . . . It wasn't till about 45 minutes later . . . that all of the floors collapsed.” (CNN Senior Correspondent Jamie McIntyre)
Morning — Colonel Karen Kwiatkowski, who witnessed "an unforgettable fireball, 20 to 30 feet in diameter", notes “a strange absence of airliner debris, . . . This visible evidence or lack thereof may also have been apparent to the secretary of defense, who in an unfortunate slip of the tongue referred to the aircraft that slammed into the Pentagon as a 'missile'." (9/11 and American Empire)
"Gen. Larry Arnold, revealed that he ordered one of his jets to fly down low over the Pentagon shortly after the attack that morning, and that his pilot reported back that there was no evidence that a plane had hit the building." (Barbara Honegger, "The Pentagon Attack Papers," physics911.net, September 6, 2006)
September 12, 2001
10:16 a.m. — Arlington County Fire Chief Ed Plaugher, at briefing with Assistant Secretary Victoria Clarke, when asked: "Is there anything left of the aircraft at all?" said: "there are some small pieces of aircraft ... there's no fuselage sections and that sort of thing." . . . Reporters on the scene were "handcuffed and dragged away". (DOD Transcript)
September 15, 2001
11:00 a.m. — Question during presentation by Lee Evey, Pentagon Renovation Manager: “One thing that's confusing – if it came in the way you described, at an angle, why then are not the wings outside? I mean, the wings would have shorn off. The tail would have shorn off. And yet there's apparently no evidence of the aircraft outside the E ring.” (DOD Transcript)

“At the Pentagon, the plaintiff was at her desk, with her baby, in her office on the first floor, when large explosions occurred, walls crumbled and the ceiling fell in. Although her desk is just some forty feet from the supposed impact point, and she went out through the blown-open front of the building afterwards, she never saw any sign that an airliner crashed through.” (UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK by APRIL GALLOP, for Herself and as Mother and Next Friend of ELISHA GALLOP, a Minor)

9/11: The official account of Flight 77 defies the laws of science
"The official account of Flight 77 on September 11, 2001 defies the laws of science," says Mr. Enver Masud — an engineer.
Calculations based on its Flight Data Recorder (FDR), prove that American Airlines Flight 77 could not have struck the Pentagon in the manner described in official reports.
Given the topography, and the flight path defined by the FDR data provided by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), anyone competent in geometry and physics can calculate the force exerted on “Flight 77” when it would have to transition from its downward path to level flight prior to striking the Pentagon.
Reconstructing Flight 77’s path from the FDR data is not a trivial exercise. It requires expensive software, and details of the topography below the alleged flight path. Pilots for 9/11 acquired the software, and painstakingly drew the topography to simulate “Flight 77’s” path.
From the flight path information provided by Pilots for 9/11 Truth, we calculate a downward force on “Flight 77” of 33 times the force of gravity, i.e. 33 Gs, when the aircraft would have to transition from its downward path to level flight about 200 yards in front of the Pentagon.
The Boeing 757 would act as if it had increased its weight by 8,276,850 lbs, or 32 times its normal weight.
Flight 77 could not possibly survive this G-Force.
Had Flight 77 attempted this maneuver, it would have crashed on the lawn in front of the Pentagon — the pilot would not have been any condition to fly with "the top of the fuselage of the aircraft no more than 20 ft above the ground" (Pentagon Building Performance Report, p14).
Therefore, Flight 77 could not be the object seen flying level across the Pentagon lawn at "530 miles per hour" (The 9/11 Commission Report, p10) in the Pentagon security camera film.
This single fact — the G-Force on “Flight 77” — is sufficient to refute the official account of Flight 77.

Was Robert Novak father of the 9/11 truth movement?
"Security experts and airline officials agree privately that the simultaneous hijacking of four jetliners was an 'inside job,' probably indicating complicity beyond malfeasance," said Novak in the lead sentence of his weekly column only two days after 9-11.
Novak was not the only journalist to imply that insiders were active in implementing 9-11. New York Times columnist William Safire theorized that the terrorists had assistance from within the major U.S. intelligence agencies.

Scientist changes mind on cause of WTC collapse
Dr. Frank Greening has apparently changed his mind regarding the cause of collapse of the World Trade Center.
On March 1, 2005, Dr. Greening wrote: "An analysis of the energetics of the WTC collapse events has shown that the kinetic energy of the aircraft collisions and the subsequent gravitational energy released by the descending blocks of floors were quite sufficient to destroy the twin towers in the manner observed. The use of explosive devices in either of the two towers is not necessary to explain the collapse events and is considered to be highly unlikely."
Today, speaking on “FAIR & BALANCED” with Kevin Barrett, he expressed his doubts.

NSA Security running amok to plug leaks about 9/11
WMR has learned that the National Security “Q” Group, responsible for security, has grown to an immense security and counter-intelligence force, with an estimated one thousand government employees, contractors, and paid informants. NSA’s Security force is reportedly primarily tasked with plugging any leaks of classified or other information that points to U.S. government’s involvement with the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. . . .
The bottom line is that a number of NSA personnel who were on duty in the months leading up to 9/11, the day of the attacks, and subsequent weeks and months, are aware of undeniable facts that point to a massive cover-up by the Bush-Cheney administration of the circumstances surrounding 9/11, including what actually befell United Airlines flight 93 and who was issuing direct military orders from the White House.
The Obama administration, rather than lessen the pressure on the NSA personnel, has turned up the heat and is resorting to even more draconian methods to ensure silence.

Dear President Obama, here are some 9/11 'facts to be dealt with'
Dear President Obama:
In your speech today in Cairo, you called the attacks of September 11, 2001, "not opinions to be debated" but "facts to be dealt with." I agree.
So let's deal with the facts.
I've summarized important facts in my book "9/11 Unveiled" — an "executive summary" of what happened on that tragic day.
I look forward to your administration dealing with these facts. They lead to a very different conclusion than the one accepted by both your administration, and the previous administration.
On July 11, in collaboration with Citizen Investigation Team, and Pilots for 9/11 Truth, we'll present a National Security Briefing: Deconstructing the 9/11 Pentagon Attack. Our presentation, based on hard facts, refutes the generally accepted theory.
Do send your staff to examine the facts. The truth will surprise you.

Dear Mr. President:
Before you finalize your Afghanistan policy, please examine the enclosed book and DVD — 9/11 Unveiled. It is an Executive Summary of several years of research, and shows that much of what we’ve been told about that tragic day — September 11, 2001 — is false.
My varied work experience has taught me how to sift through complex, conflicting facts and opinions to arrive at defensible conclusions. I challenge the 9/11 Commission to defend theirs.
I managed the National Power Grid Study (directed a couple of dozen, multidisciplinary teams — total 150 persons), and the National Electric Reliability Study for the U.S. Department of Energy. I also set up and directed the Operations Review Division at the Iowa Commerce Commission. I’ve consulted for the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the World Bank — in Albania, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Indonesia, Latvia, Pakistan, Russia, and Tanzania.
I was recently on a three week lecture tour of South Africa speaking before hundreds every day, interviews on radio and television, etc. Virtually all who listened came away sharing my conclusions. The U.S. embassy declined an invitation from SAfm to rebut me.
If you and your staff have an open mind, I believe you too will agree. Given the current financial crisis, we cannot afford unnecessary wars.

National Airport's aircraft rescue firefighters (ARFF) foam units "knocked down the bulk of the fire in the first seven minutes after their arrival," said Captain Michael Defina, who was the shift commander that day at Reagon National Airport (National Fire Protection Association Journal, November 1, 2001—original removed, but available elsewhere).
Captain Defina, who had been at the site of a motor vehicle accident, arrived at the Pentagon "two to three minutes" after he "saw a smoke plume arise" from the Pentagon.
FMFD Unit 161 at the Pentagon before Flight 77 strike?
"Captain Defina drove onto the heliport and directed Foam Unit 331 to set up there, where Fort Myer Rescue Engine 161 had established a hydrant water supply. The only other firefighting apparatus he saw on the west side was Arlington County's Engine and Truck 105 on the far north end. Their crews went into the building to conduct search and rescue."
From the photo and diagram above, it appears that the crew of Engine 161 are seen entering the Pentagon's heliport side entrance (shown in the diagram at bottom center). Engine 161 is just left of the entrance. The gap in the Pentagon wall after the collapse of its roof would be on the right—either on the edge, or just off the photo.
"While Foam Unit 331 hit the fire with foam from its roof and bumper turrets, Rescue Engine 335's four-person crew used hand lines in an attempt to control the fires".

Why does this matter?
Let's contruct a timeline of events at the Pentagon, and see if it tells us anything.
9:29 - Flight 77 is at 7000 feet, 38 miles west of the Pentagon (9/11 Commission Report, p9).
9:37 - Flight 77 traveling at 530 mph hits the Pentagon (9/11 Commission Report, p10).
9:38 - FMFD Foam Unit 161 is on fire at the Pentagon (Arlington County After-Action Report, Annex pages A-4 and A-5).
9:xx - Captain Defina arrives at Pentagon "two to three minutes" after seeing a plume of smoke.
9:xx - Captain Defina's Engine 331 "knocked down the bulk of the fire in the first seven minutes after their arrival".
9:40 - FAA grounds all flights at U.S. airports (FOX Facts, May 3, 2006).
9:41 - ACFD fire Truck 105 arrives at the Pentagon Arlington County After-Action Report, Appendix 1).
9:41 - ACFD Battalion Chief Cornwell arrives and assumes Incident Command (Arlington County After-Action Report, Appendix 1).
9:41 - Command established (9/11 Commission Report, p314).
9:48 - ACFD Assistant Chief Schwartz arrives and assumes Incident Command (Arlington County After-Action Report, Appendix 1).
9:55 - Incident commander orders evacuation of impacted areas (9/11 Commission Report, p315).
9:57 - A partial collapse occurs (9/11 Commission Report, p314).
10:15 - Incident commander orders full evacuation (9/11 Commission Report, p315).
Was the "plume of smoke" that Captain Defina saw from the crash of Flight 77, or from the bomb reported at the Pentagon at 9:32 by Barbara Honegger?
The debris seen in the photo of Foam Unit 161 is consistent with an explosion inside the Pentagon. The fires in the photo below appear to have started after Unit 161 arrived, and not the fire "knocked down . . . in the first seven minutes after their arrival" by the crew of Unit 331.
At the Dept. of Defense News Briefing on September 12, 2001, when asked about the "small pieces of the plane virtually all over, out over the highway, tiny pieces", Arlington County Fire Chief Ed Plaugher responded, "I'd rather not comment on that."
Arrival time for Foam Units 161 and 331 are not included in the Arlington County After-Action Report timeline (Appendix 1). Foam Units 161 and 331 are not mentioned in The 9/11 Commission Report.

America under attack: A chronicle of chaos and heroism at the Pentagon on 9/11
John N. Maclean's review of Firefight: Inside the Battle to Save the Pentagon on 9/11 misses a key fact that undercuts the authors' account of what happened at the Pentagon on 9/11.
The authors, Patrick Creed and Rick Newman, write that the aircraft that hit the Pentagon punched a hole 90 feet wide at the entry point, then compressed into a bullet-like shape and burrowed 310 feet into the building.
In the picture below, take a look at the entry point while the Pentagon fire was still raging.
And this picture of the crew of Engine 331, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, attempting to put out the fire.
And this picture after the fire has diminished, but before the collapse of the roof.
Do you see a 90 feet wide hole in the Pentagon wall? Or any signs of a Boeing 757? Of course not.
What you may have seen is a picture taken after the roof collapsed. Miraculously, the "Boeing 757" made it through the light poles and highway sign before striking the Pentagon.
Just minutes after the attack, standing in front of the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, Jamie McIntyre, CNN's senior Pentagon correspondent since November 1992, reported: "From my close up inspection there's no evidence of a plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon. . . . . The only pieces left that you can see are small enough that you could pick up in your hand. There are no large tail sections, wing sections, fuselage—nothing like that anywhere around which would indicate that the entire plane crashed into the side of the Pentagon. . . . It wasn't till about 45 minutes later . . . that all of the floors collapsed."

Career army officer sues Rumsfeld, Cheney, saying no evacuation order given on 9/11, no sign of a crashed airplane at the Pentagon
A career Army specialist who survived the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, claims that no evacuation was ordered inside the Pentagon, despite flight controllers calling in warnings of approaching hijacked aircraft nearly 20 minutes before the building was struck. . . .
Spc. Gallop also says she heard two loud explosions, and does not believe that a Boeing 757 hit the building.
The following paragraphs are from the complaint filed in the UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK by APRIL GALLOP, for Herself and as Mother and Next Friend of ELISHA GALLOP, a Minor:
33. At the Pentagon, the plaintiff was at her desk, with her baby, in her office on the first floor, when large explosions occurred, walls crumbled and the ceiling fell in. Although her desk is just some forty feet from the supposed impact point, and she went out through the blown-open front of the building afterwards, she never saw any sign that an airliner crashed through. If Flight 77, or a substitute, did swoop low over the building, to create the false impression of a suicide attack, it was then flown away by its pilot, or remote control, and apparently crashed someplace else. At the building, inside or outside of the wall the plane supposedly hit, there was no wreckage, no airplane fragments, no engines, no seats, no luggage, no fuselage sections with rows of windows, and especially, no blazing quantities of burning jet fuel. The interior walls and ceilings and contents in that area were destroyed, but there was no sign of a crashed airplane. A number of those present inside the building and out have attested to this fact in published reports.
34. Instead, just when plaintiff turned on her computer — for an urgent document-clearing job she was directed by her supervisor to rush and begin, as soon as she arrived at work, without dropping her baby off at child care until she was finished — a huge explosion occurred, and at least one more that she heard and felt, and flames shot out of the computer. Walls crumbled, the ceiling fell in, and she was knocked unconscious. When she came to, terrified and in pain, she found the baby close by, picked him up, and, with other survivors caught in the area, made her way through rubble, smoke and dust towards daylight, which was showing through an open space that now gaped in the outside wall. When she reached the outside she collapsed on the grass; only to wake up in a hospital some time later.

Chaos in the 9/11 courtroom
The five defendants wanted to plead guilty, but only if it brought them their desired outcome. "If we plead guilty, can we still be sentenced to death?" Mohammed asked U.S. Army Col. Stephen Henley, the military commission judge responsible for trying the men.
No one in the courtroom knew the answer, including Col. Henley.

Former Pakistan intel director: 'It was an inside job'
Retired Lt. Gen. Hamid Gul, former director of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency, or ISI, says "9/11 was a bloody hoax, . . . an inside job."
This is consistent with the position Gen. Gul stated in September 2001 during an interview with Arnaud de Borchgrave — United Press International editor-at-large, and which he repeated to Fareed Zakaria of CNN on December 8, 2008 following the Mumbai attacks.

Top 9/11 suspects to plead guilty
The military tribunal may never go ahead in its current form, analysts say
Alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four co-defendants have told a military judge at Guantanamo Bay they want to confess and plead guilty.
The judge at the pre-trial hearing, Col Stephen Henley, said he would question the men to ensure that was their wish.
Mr Mohammed had earlier said he wished to be executed and achieve martyrdom, but had still mounted a defence.
The five accused face the death penalty if convicted of a role in killing 2,973 people in the suicide plane attacks.
No date has been set for the five men's full military tribunal, and their appearance in court on Monday followed hearings held under a judge who resigned last month. . . .
[Editor's Note: The physical facts contradict the U.S. government's version of events on 9/11, i.e. "The 9/11 Commission Report."]

UN rights official endorses 9/11 conspiracy theories
UN Watch, an independent human rights monitoring organization based in Geneva, today called on UN chief Ban Ki-moon and human rights commissioner Navi Pillay to condemn a United Nations official for endorsing conspiracy theories regarding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
In a new article published this week in a Scottish student newspaper, entitled “9/11: More than meets the eye”, Richard Falk, the UN Human Rights Council investigator of “Israel’s violations of the principles and bases of international law”, expressed unqualified support for the 9/11 conspiracy movement, pointing to “doubts surrounding the true character of the events surrounding the 9/11 attacks.”

9/11 Unveiled: Clearing the way for truth in media
The new monograph, 9/11 Unveiled by Enver Masud of The Wisdom Fund, is the best short summary of what most Americans and virtually all of the rest of the world consider to be the "9/11 mystery". In this factual account, Enver Masud avoids the popular focus on the accumulating wealth of merely circumstantial evidence that the official U.S. governmental account of 9/11 is incomplete.
