WTC 7 Controlled Demolition, but no Connection to the Conspiracy Theory.

This week in my blog, I thought I would revisit the World Trade Center 7 (WTC 7) collapse. There was something that was bothering me from the last time I covered it, namely the presence of thermite, something used often in explosions. The NIST's explanation also bothered me greatly. So, I decided I would check out a number of different sources on the matter, and I was surprised to find myself agreeing it the controlled demolition theory. However, I do not agree that controlled demolition in that context necessarily means that it was a false flag operation. This is because the WTC 7 demolition wasn't used as fuel to go into the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The North and South Tower were. The first article I read was from the Daily Mail, which is about a video that had been recently released through the freedom of information act (Daily). The video shows raging fires in the WTC 7, which they say was proof of that it collapsed on its own. The title is interesting, because they...

The Jews and 9/11: No Connection.

For thousands of years, conspiracy theories have been grabbed onto by those seeking answers for tragedies in life. The Jews, particularly, have been the at the center of conspiracy theories for over a thousand years, at least. When people have lost their children in the middle ages, the Jews were sometimes blamed. In the 20th century several theories said that the Jews were trying to take over the world (Foxman). The 9/11 conspiracy is one that has been debated for up to sixteen plus years now.  In my past two blog posts, we talked about how the Pentagon and the World Trade Centers were at the center of the furious debate. But how did we get to this point with 9/11 where people are blaming the government, or even blaming the Jews  for this issue? In my post about the Jews and 9/11 today, it is my purpose to show how we go to the point of blaming the Jews for 9/11 and how 9/11 conspiracy theories in general began. On September 8th, 2006, the National director of the Anti-Defa...

What Hit the Pentagon? An Analysis.

On the same day that two planes crashed into world trade centers, another plane was reported as crashing into the Pentagon, devouring part of the newly renovated intelligence building, and taking the lives of 125 souls. Officially, it is believed that hijackers hit the Pentagon; and yet, despite clear evidence of plane debris found at the site, and eyewitnesses watching the plane crash, there are those that believe that there was no plane crash at the Pentagon. Their claims are many, from a missile strike to a bomb within the Pentagon going off. Here you will see that claims that the Pentagon was by anything other than a Boeing 757 on 9/11 are false, based upon eyewitness testimony, physical evidence of a low flying plane, and plane debris found at the sight. In my search for the truth, I came upon a blog article by a man by the name of Craig McKee, an award winning journalist from Canada, who has been writing for 23 years. In his article "How We Know An Airliner Did not Hit the...

Why did the World Trade Centers and WTC 7 Collapse?

In the fight between conspiracy theorists and those that believe the official story of the 9/11, there is one theory that has been raging since the beginning over whether or not the World Trade Centers' collapse was caused by the planes, or by a controlled demolition. In my research, I've uncovered the truth, that it was not a controlled demolition, but rather, raging fires and structure damage are what caused the trade centers to fall. In this blog post, I'll be deconstructing the articles of both sides and showing just how Popular Mechanics made the more convincing argument for the truth. The Popular Mechanics article, titled "Debunking the 9/11 Myths: Special Report-the World Trade Center" is part of a larger report debunking a number of myths from 9/11. In this part of the report, however, it focuses heavily on the World Trade Centers, including the North and South Tower, and WTC 7. In the article, it takes on five different conspiracies associated with th...

9/11 Conspiracy Theories: an Introduction

September 11th, 2009 will be a day that stands in infamy for the United States. As we know, thousands of people lost their lives because of the actions of nineteen terrorists, who flew two planes into the World trade Centers, one into the Pentagon, and one into a field in Pennsylvania. The United States government classified it as a terrorist attack. However there are many people who believe that the United States Government was in fact complicit in 9/11: they in fact allowed it to happen, and indeed may have orchestrated the terrorist attack. Since that fateful day over sixteen years ago, both sides have been arguing about the truth of the matter. In my first post, I will be evaluating two different articles, one from the National Commission On Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States; and one from the other side, the people that call themselves “Truthers,” or those who believe that the United States Government itself was behind the terrorist attacks. The first article I read w...
