I donate to them on a monthly basis. This is a hugely important topic. Almost all the wars of the past 10 years–and much more importantly–the pervasive NSA surveillance and other curtailments of the civil liberties assumed by and protected by our Constitution are enabled in large measure by the climate of fear enabled by 9/11.
It may be, of course, that there are people out there working to set off nuclear or biological weapons (chemical I fear much less, because their path of destruction would never be more than a few thousand), but even NSA experts say that if we watch suspects, the people they talk to, and the people they talk to, that will be quite sufficient. Going beyond that creates the potential for a gulag state, for a police state of a scale and scope no fascist regime ever even dreamed possible. Big Brother is already here. If you have a Kinect or Wii plugged into the internet, they can literally watch you in your living room now. If you keep your cell phone in your bedroom, they can listen to your pillow talk and snoring.
This is not the direction of a hopeful future.
And even though we can’t know for sure who was behind 9/11, SOMEONE obviously had extensive access to, in all likelihood, all three towers, and for a long enough period to place enough explosives to rig the buildings like professionals. The Towers had already been attacked, and I don’t think it too unreasonable to suppose there was SOME level of security, even if tens of thousands of people were coming and going every day. The people who did this would have needed to get behind locked doors, and been able to transport explosive material behind these doors.
And, importantly, they would have needed access to nanothermite, whose residue was found throughout the wreckage. This implies a very developed nation state. I have proposed the Russians (I nearly called them the Soviets, since I find it impossible to separate Putin from that species of fascistic control called Communism) as suspects. Putin no doubt had reasons to hate America, and the operation happened roughly 18 months after he took power.
Others have proposed the Israelis, who no doubt had the technical sophistication to do this.
But we have to ask the question: why did NIST intentionally falsify data and overlook basic elements of physics to reach a wrong conclusion they have stood by ever since? I have proposed cowardice. That still seems possible. But as an agency of the American government, they also reported to the governmental command structure, and it may be that they were ORDERED to reach the wrong conclusion. That would not look good, would it?
Here is a lengthy treatment of this topic, which appears careful and meticulous: http://www.911review.com/articles/ryan/demolition_access_DonPaul.html
Increasingly, my gut tells me it was a nexus of Americans and Arabs. That is more or less his claim, and it appears plausible.
Whatever the truth is, it is CLEARLY not in the public domain.
