9/11, more thoughts

Posted the following on the Blaze. Hadn’t thought about this topic in a while, but thought I’d pass along some thoughts I had many months ago, but don’t think I ever posted. I am leaving the link in there, since it would otherwise be hard to find.

I must have run out of room on the second link. It is here: http://moderatesunited.blogspot.com/2010/11/tower-7-thoughts.html

To the extent of my knowledge, I am the only person to have proposed that United 93 was supposed to hit Tower 7. It is in my view stupid to assume that the explosives hypothesis is inconsistent with the consensus reality of planes being hijacked and flown into buildings and fields. They are fully compatible.

Moreover, it is quite possible to separate out the hijackers from the demolition entirely. It is possible someone knew of the plot–say Iranian intelligence agents, or whoever funded the operation through a cutout–but did not tell the hijackers of it. There would be many benefits to this, not least of which would be informational security.

Thus, there would be no reason you could not have radical Islamists, very committed to their cause, crashing their planes, and not knowing that they were funded by people who were indifferent to Islam, or to their version of Islam; and that those same shadow-people could not have set up a parallel operation, to ensure maximal trauma to the American people and economy.

As far as that goes, there was apparently short-selling in some markets. Given the capacity to imagine such cynicism, you could envision someone directly and consciously engineering this operation for profit.

There are many possibilities. What seems clear, though, is that Tower 7 was brought down through explosives.
