Startling: The Story of the 9/11 Breath-though that Solved it all and debunked the ‘truthers’ forever

The article below was written in May 2014 .
It tells its own story , a fascinating one .
This is the first story of the hidden secret of our time : VT Nuclear Education It was Dr. James Fetzer that introduced me to Veterans Today .
We had worked together on 9/11 where my expertise in photographic and image analysis helped his research .
Several teams at Veterans Today had been working on 9/11 and , by the time I met them , all had come to the conclusion that 9/11 was a nuclear event .
They had also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the total amateurs and those with some expertise but “ axes to grind , ” pet conspiracy theories or books to peddle , had crippled any effort to move forward .
Others , far too many others , many “ activists ” were something else , something unwholesome , clearly working for those responsible for 9/11 .
As many if not most of these folks aren ’ t very bright , they had become rather obvious .
The real breakthrough came when Veterans Today was given access to documents “ borrowed ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Russian intelligence .
The Russians , in turn , angry at the US over the Ukraine coup , looked for an American source to publish this material .
Only “ VT ” would touch it .
This material was the product of a broad investigation into where nuclear weapons were acquired , who had stolen them , how they were reconfigured , where they were placed , and more .
However , not all information we wanted was there .
Don Fox and I went to Gordon Duff who introduced us to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commanded nuclear forces in Europe .
He concurred that 9/11 was nuclear , answered what he could , and helped direct us onward .
Although we had made a lot of progress , there were still many gaps in our knowledge so when we learned that Gordon Duff had sources within the US nuclear weapons labs and that material was coming out that had never been seen before , we were eager to see if we could use it to fill in the gaps .
We were given direct access to documents , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ weapons investigation of 9/11 but private notes by investigators as well .
Duff then told us that we could submit questions .
A day later , we received answers you will see below .
This material is astounding , it comes from the highest levels of America ’ s weapon design community and is highly classified .
After reading this , you will never be able to think about 9/11 and the threat of nuclear weapons in the same way ever again .
Where , for years , would-be investigators , bloggers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ theories like carnival barkers , real nuclear weapons designers , many from the same team that wrote the DOE 9/11 Report ( 2003 ) , had no need to fabricate and dissemble .
Q : How many types of devices were used in New York on 9/11 ?
I see where a case can be made for 2 or 3 different types of devices .
A : At least two different types of nuclear weapons were used .
One is a standard micro nuke with a ( W-54 Pit design ) of less @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than 500 ton minimum in blast size .
The bigger enhanced weapons use to bring down towers 1 and 2 were at least 1 to 3 kiloton in size .
The fireball size limits the kiloton size of the weapon to less than 200 feet in diameter due to the size of the buildings .
For every 1 kiloton of blast effect , you get approximately a 50-foot radius sized fireball .
The size of the fireball can be much less when contained inside a steel structure .
So a 3 kiloton weapon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a thermobaric design , the plasma fireball will remain the same size but it will be under much greater pressure and have more density due to the added iron oxide material in the fireball .
When the fireball expands to its maximum size of 150 feet and just after it consumes all of the building materials in this area ; ( up to 150 tons for a 3 kiloton weapon ) it begins to cool very rapidly .
As it cools it will expel the molten hot iron plasma under great pressure just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Lava ” or plasma straight up the central core of the building .
This volcanic burst of hot iron plasma will literally gut the inside of the building of anything that it comes in contact with .
The follow on EMP pulse will add even more thermal heat to the structural components of the building .
The EMP pulse will also destroy or erase any surviving computer hard drives in the area .
Q : The above-ground nukes appear to be much smaller than the below-ground nukes .
And the nukes below @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the nukes below Building 7 .
A : Yes each building needs a different amount of explosive charge to bring it down .
This depends on the size , shape , and mass of the building .
It is basic demolition physics .
Buildings 4-6 were smaller requiring lesser charges to bring them down .
Building 7 was bigger needing more than one charge .
Towers one and two required much more charge and they needed a bigger hole to drop them into .
These were the specially designed thermobaric weapons , used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We see evidence for neutron bombs in the USGS dust samples and the DOE water samples .
The primary stage appears to be uranium as we see uranium in the dust samples and not plutonium .
The secondary appears to be lithium deuteride as we see tritium in the DOE water samples .
Could a thermobaric nuke use uranium for the primary ?
A : Yes .
A Uranium or Plutonium weapon can be used as the primary .
The primary only needs to be a fission weapon design .
Uranium is also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ neutron reflector and energy booster .
It reduces the amount of PU needed by 25 to 50 % .
The Uranium will not completely burn because it is a neutron reflector so it shows up in the fallout .
1 pound of Pu or Uranium will produce up to 3 ounces of fallout per pound of fuel consumed by the primary .
So if the weapon used 15 lbs of fuel it will produce 45 ounces of fallout .
Most of this will be absorbed by secondary burning the remaining nuclear fuel in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the secondary will reduce heavy radioactive fallout to acceptable levels after several days .
It is a clean burn weapon .
This is why it was used ; fewer fallout problems to deal with .
For every 1 kiloton of energy produced in a nuclear explosion , it will consume up to 50 tons of iron or steel when it is sucked into the plasma fireball turning it into vaporized gas .
When it cools and it is exposed to air or water vapor , it forms micro granules of iron oxide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
All metal spheres formed by the plasma ball when cooled will vary in size , based on their atomic weight and wavelength of light that they absorb .
The size is determined by the wavelength of the light radiated by the plasma fireball ranging from 30 nanometers ( infrared light ) down to less than 1 nanometers for ( x-rays and Gamma rays ) .
Iron only absorbs light in the 7 to 10-micron range , this is why they are that size .
Gold Silver and Aluminum all adsorb shorter wavelengths @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If the fallout sample is not taken directly from the very center of ground zero it will show less and less PU or Uranium in the samples the farther you get from the zero points of detonation .
This is because most of the unburnt radioactive material does not travel very far from the plasma ball .
The secondary purpose of the iron oxide is to convert excess Gamma , X-ray , and Neutron radiation into thermal energy .
Its third function is to convert Alpha and Beta radiation into heat .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ excess free electrons produced by the blast into a bigger EMP pulse .
Its fifth function is to contain or absorb the radioactive fallout and reduces its levels , helping in the cleanup .
If a very thick solid iron casing is used it will fragment just like in a grenade or in an artillery shell so softer iron powder is used .
It also needs a lot of surface area in order to produce a thermobaric effect .
When this hot plasma that is over 1 million degrees centigrade in temperature and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comes in contact with any other material it will either immediately vaporize it or melt it .
Even if it does not melt it if the structural steel elements of the building rise in temperature above their Curie point then they will lose all structural strength and bend like pretzels .
This is basically a first-generation plasma weapon when used in a closed steel construction building .
The closed steel construction also further helps contain the fallout , when used in a very tall steel structure such as on 911 .
The 1,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the building acts as a thermal waveguide for the hot plasma converting the central steel core into a Directed Energy Weapon .
It also acts as an electromagnetic waveguide for the EMP pulse and directs the energy produced by the weapon straight up the central core .
It basically forms a very crude Directed Energy Weapon .
The EMP pulse is vertically polarized and it is primarily absorbed by the building ’ s steel structure .
The reaming EMP field effects do not radiate any farther than the magnetic near field produced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ building acts as a Faraday cage absorbing and re-radiating the EMP energy as thermal heat , adding to the thermobaric effect .
X-rays , Gamma rays , and neutrons are rapidly absorbed by most of the heavy materials in the building so very little of this radiation will travel more than a few blocks from the outside of the building structure .
In order to prevent a counter EMP from knocking out electrical power in lower Manhattan , the building had to be power downed just before the blast .
This would require @ @ @ @ @ @ @ transformer substation that was used by the WTC complex and the power company .
So there you have it – the nuclear secrets of 9/11 laid bare for all to see .
No longer can there be any denial that NYC was nuked .
The nanothermite theory was a psyop from the beginning to hide the nuclear event at the towers .
We must salute those who chose to release this highly classified information , they have done a great service by finally answering the ‘ how ’ of the destruction of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to ask why is this information coming out now , the answer gave us further insight into the people behind the terrible crime of 9/11 .
The following short remark was at the end of the text .
“ Bush , Cheney and Rahm Emmanuel are gone .
So are most of the original co-conspirators .
They are or have been removed from power .
This makes it safer for the whistleblowers.
” Note the names they use and the order they are in .
This opens up so many more questions , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ answers of consequence .
Dick Cheney recently warned , or perhaps threatened would be more accurate , that a ‘ far deadlier nuclear 9/11 ” may happen ; now we know that 9/11 was a nuclear event and that Cheney was at the heart of the conspiracy ; therefore his prediction is truly frightening .
The information above is far from all that has been published , supplied as part of the DOE documents , or brought forward by loyal Americans working in our nuclear weapons programs .
These are only the unanswered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ give us the answers we needed .
Veterans Today had already published papers on the bomb designs , where the 9/11 weapons had been placed and extensively on those who had accessed the weapons .
All of the articles I reviewed were , as with this one , detailed , lots of hard science .
What is of particular note is the fact that never have so many previously unpublished details on specialized weapons programs ever been released in the same decade , much less in a few short days .
What I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , though the mainstream media is boycotting this information , the military and intelligence community is not .
Some very dangerous people are now both angry and motivated .
That I have seen .
It took this kind of openness and detail after over a decade of childish deceit .

We were given direct access to documents, not only tied to the suppressed nuclear weapons investigation of 9/11 but private notes by investigators as well. Duff then told us that we could submit questions. A day later, we received answers you will see below.
This material is astounding, it comes from the highest levels of America’s weapon design community and is highly classified. After reading this, you will never be able to think about 9/11 and the threat of nuclear weapons in the same way ever again.
Where, for years, would-be investigators, bloggers, phonies, malignant narcissists have peddled pet theories like carnival barkers, real nuclear weapons designers, many from the same team that wrote the DOE 9/11 Report (2003), had no need to fabricate and dissemble.

It is clear that Washington, Tel Aviv and Riyadh are working to drain Syria in all fields: militarily, socially and economically.
Washington has been plundering the natural resources of Syria for some time and is now escalating to burn crops as part of the starvation war, which Trump launched with the “Caesar Act”, and by training mercenaries to carry out human and agricultural depletion operations.
The Syrian Arab Army, which has achieved victories and cleansed large areas of the homeland of Syria, has heavy and varied tasks, the first of which is to confront Israel and expel the invading armies from the north and east of the Syrians. Pushed hundreds of ISIS criminals to carry out operations against the Syrian Arab Army, and against the Syrian people, as well as Turkey entered weapons and ammunition for Al-Nusra, and others.
How does Syria face the continuing war of attrition waged against it?
Astana did not address this aspect. Rather, it kept strategic matters within the broad headlines, such as commitment to the unity of the Syrian territories and Syrian sovereignty over all Syrian lands, but it is clear to everyone, on top of them Russia and Syria, that Turkey does not abide by that. Rather, it has introduced weapons and soldiers from around the Turkish observation points in Idlib leads to Trojan horses, a bridge to arm the terrorists, and the Syrian Arab Army to strike, and the SDF plays the role of the agent for the Americans and is following up the steps to complete a clear disengagement process.
There is no doubt that imposing different educational curricula in Hasaka this week “by force of arms” is an indication of this, and it plays the role of a bridge for incursion. ISIS from its prisons in two directions: inside Syria, and towards Iraq.
The economic situation in Syria is moaning from the siege, and terrorist groups have drawn up plans for implementation targeting foodstuffs and agricultural crops with fire to increase the economic suffocation in Syria.
There is no doubt that the general Russian delegation, which held talks yesterday with the Syrian officials, touched on this painful reality, and there is no doubt that President Rouhani discussed with Erdogan the Turkish incursion into Syria and support for terrorism, so the talk was limited to the agreement to fight terrorism, but this is good.
In the right direction, it is not sufficient to change the painful reality, so it is necessary to draw up a strategy for the work of a Syrian popular crowd in the field to confront these parties that are draining Syria and keeping it in a state of war planned by the American administration since Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State, and the slogan of the priority of liberating Syrian oil and gas must be raised because they are two important sources for the Syrian economy, and theft and looting should not be allowed.
The Syrian Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) are able to carry out major and basic tasks. The Popular Army, which is supervised by Syrian army officers, will do the following:
– Protecting the liberated places, cities, towns, villages, institutions, and roads from any attempt by terrorists to infiltrate these areas again, and this will require a detailed action plan drawn on the maps of those sites.
The Syrian Arab Army is training special teams from this crowd to carry out operations aimed at: liberating oil, protecting the Syrian-Iraqi borders and expelling the occupying forces from the Syrian territories.
There is no doubt that Riyadh is now directly interfering, and has sent soldiers and abundant money to recruit some tribes that have set a national stance rejecting the American presence, and Riyadh is betting on the tribal relations that bind the Syrian tribes scattered in the Syrian desert, and link them with kinship relations with some of the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula, and the scheme must be broken.
Some agents from leading the Qasd, preventing any steps that can be counted in favor of the enemies ’scheme, stealing oil and water, and an offensive defense policy must be adopted against bases used for training, supplying ammunition and weapons to the Qasd and terrorists, and the most important of these bases is al-Tanf base, which must become a target for Arab resistance factions Abide by the instructions of the Syrian leadership.
The time has come to launch the popular resistance, which must work in light of the implementation of what was previously decided to liberate Idlib.
لابد من تأسيس
منظمة كفاحية مقاتلة
للتصدي للجيوش الغازية
والارهابيين في المحافظات السورية
بسام ابو شريف
من الواضح أن واشنطن وتل ابيب والرياض تعملان على استنزاف سوريا في كافة الميادين : عسكريا واجتماعيا واقتصاديا ، وواشنطن تقوم منذ فترة بنهب الثروات الطبيعية السورية والآن تصعد لاحراق المحاصيل ضمن حرب التجويع ، التي دشنها ترامب ” بقانون قيصر ” ، وبتدريب مرتزقة للقيام بعمليات استنزافية بشريا وزراعيا .
الجيش العربي السوري ، الذي حقق انتصارات وطهر مساحات واسعة من أرض سوريا الوطن لديه مهمات ثقيلة ومتنوعة أولها التصدي لاسرائيل ، وطرد جيوش الغزاة من الشمال والشرق السوريين ، وكما لاحظ الجميع فقد دفعت القوات الاميركية من منطقة التنف ومناطق تسيطر عليها قسد ( المتحالفة مع الغزاة الاميركيين وداعش ) ، دفعت المئات من مجرمي داعش للقيام بعمليات ضد الجيش العربي السوري ، وضد الشعب السوري ، وكذلك قامت تركيا بادخال السلاح والذخائر للنصرة ، وغيرها .
كيف تواجه سوريا استمرار حرب الاستنزاف التي تشن ضدها ؟
لم تتطرق استانة لهذا الجانب ، بل أبقت الأمور الاستراتيجية ضمن العناوين العريضة من نوع الالتزام بوحدة الأراضي السورية ، والسيادة السورية على كل الأراضي السورية ، لكن الواضح للجميع وعلى رأسهم روسيا وسوريا أن تركيا لا تلتزم بذلك ، بل أدخلت أسلحة وجنودا مما حول نقاط المراقبة التركية في ادلب الى أحصنة طروادة ، وجسرلتسليح الارهابيين ، وضرب الجيش العربي السوري ، وتلعب قسد دور العميل للاميركيين وتتابع الخطوات لاتمام عملية انفصال واضحة ، ولاشك أن فرض مناهج تعليم مختلفة في الحسكة هذا الأسبوع ” بقوة السلاح ” ، هو مؤشر على ذلك ، وهي تلعب دور الجسر لتوغل داعش من سجونها باتجاهين : داخل سوريا ، ونحو العراق .
والوضع الاقتصادي في سوريا يئن من الحصار، ورسمت للمجموعات الارهابية خططا للتنفيذ تستهدف المواد الغذائية ، والمحصول الزراعي بالنيران لزيادة الاختناق الاقتصادي في سوريا
لاشك أن الوفد الروسي العام ، الذي أجرى مباحثات يوم أمس مع المسؤولين السوريين قد تطرق الى هذا الواقع الأليم ، ولاشك أن الرئيس روحاني بحث مع اردوغان التوغل التركي في سوريا ومساندة الارهاب ، لذلك اقتصر الكلام حول الاتفاق لمحاربة الارهاب ، لكن هذا وان كان جيدا ، ويصب بالاتجاه الصحيح لايكفي لتغيير الواقع المؤلم ، لذلك لابد من رسم استراتيجية عمل محشد شعبي سوري للتصدي في الميدان لهذه الأطراف التي تستنزف سوريا وتبقيها في حالة حرب خططت لها الادارة الاميركية منذ أن كانت هيلاري كلينتون وزيرة خارجية ، ولابد من رفع شعار أولوية تحرير النفط والغاز السوريين لأنهما مصدران مهمان للاقتصاد السوري ، ويجب ألا يسمح بعمليات السرقة والنهب .
الحشد الشعبي السوري قادر على القيام بمهام كبيرة وأساسية ، سيكون الجيش الشعبي الذي يشرف عليه ضباط الجيش السوري ليقوم بالتالي : –
– حماية الأماكن المحررة مدنا وبلدات وقرى ومؤسسات وطرقا من أي محاولة تسلل الارهابيين مرة اخرى لهذه المناطق ، وسيحتاج هذا الى خطة عمل تفصيلية مرسومة على خرائط تلك المواقع .
– يقوم الجيش العربي السوري بتدريب فرق خاصة من هذا الحشد لتنفيذ عمليات هدفها : تحرير النفط وحماية الحدود السورية العراقية واخراج القوات المحتلة من الأراضي السورية
ولاشك أن الرياض تتدخل الآن بشكل مباشر، وأرسلت عسكريين ومالا وفيرا لتجنيد بعض القبائل التي حددت موقفا وطنيا رافضا للوجود الاميركي ، والرياض تراهن على العلاقات العشائرية التي تربط عشائر سوريا المنتشرة في الصحراء السورية ، وتربطها علاقات قربى مع بعض عشائر الجزيرة العربية ، ولابد من كسر مخطط بعض العملاء من قيادة قسد ، ومنع أي خطوات يمكن احتسابها لصالح مخطط الأعداء ، وسرقة النفط والمياه ، ولابد من انتهاج سياسة الدفاع الهجومي ضد قواعد تستخدم للتدريب ، وتزويد الذخائر والسلاح لقسد والارهابيين ، وأهم هذه القواعد هي قاعدة التنف التي يجب أن تصبح هدفا لفصائل مقاومة عربية تلتزم بتعليمات القيادة السورية .
حان وقت اطلاق المقاومة الشعبية ، التي يجب أن تعمل في ظل تنفيذ ما سبق أن قرر من تحرير ادلب

9-11 WTC Hidden Explosions: Lawyers, Architects & Intel Experts Fighting for Truth against Deep State

VT : Carisio , a great journalist from Italy , is not knowledgeable as to the tiresome two decades long scandal tied to the endless time wasting of AE/9/11 and those tied to them and how they have worked , by our efforts with the perpetrators , to hog the limelight and keep the long published real solution from the public .
They would only do this if it served Israel and Saudi Arabia , primary perpetrators .
This is our belief .
The facts on 9/11 , solved 6 years ago with an effort begun by Dmitri Khalezov with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Ian Greenhalgh , Jim Fetzer , Don Fox , the Los Alamos National Labs and a VT team led by Gordon Duff are published here : « Plaintiffs fail to state a claim that they are entitled to the grand jury records that they seek .

Additionally , Plaintiffs fail to state a claim that they have a First Amendment right to directly petition the grand jury @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dismissed » .
This is the answer with which on May 8 , 2020 Alexander J. Hogan , Assistant Attorney of Geoffrey S. Berman , US Attorney of the Southern District of New York who submitted it , refused to open an investigation focused on Lawyers ’ Committee for 9/11 Inquiry Petition to U.S. Attorney to Report Federal Crimes to Grand Jury .
With formal and non-substantive reasons , the Department of Justice Attorneys rejected the request for new investigations into the destruction of the World Trade Center complex that occurred during the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Islamic terrorists on Tuesday 11 September 2001 : in particular on what Richard Gage , AIA ( American Institute of Architect ) defines the “ smoking gun ” , or rather the mysterious collapse of building 7 , not hit by aircraft such as the two Twin Towers .

However , it seems certain that this association is ready to give battle to shed light on the truth that remained buried under the “ ground zero ” where 2,977 people died but above all remained hidden in those documents that disappeared or were never revealed despite numerous requests including that of another organization at the forefront : that of “ Architects & Engineers for 9-11 ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ initiatives of lawyers and has launched fundraisers to support the actions of some of the relatives of the victims who united in battle .

On the one hand there are the multiple evidence exhibited by them in relation to multiple explosions prior to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ numerous reports on the World Trade Center massacre by Veterans Today Senior Editor , Gordon Duff , international intelligence expert .
On the other hand , there is the Deep State rubber wall within the institutions they deem sufficient the conclusions of the judicial and congressional inquiries sufficient and do not deem it necessary to further investigate .
Among these is the District Court of the District of Columbia which on October 2 , 2019 dismissed the civil suit brought by the Lawyers Committee against the Federal Bureau of Investigation in March 2018 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the investigation .
But just in the past few weeks , the curt response of the National Institute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ) has also arrived in relation to the report on the “ smoking gun ” which according to architects and engineers would be evidence of a controlled explosion .

« And what we found was that , overwhelmingly that — I guess we say the great majority of the reporters who were there who witnessed the event , perceived it to be an explosion or an explosion-based event .
And then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ talking about it in the minutes and hours afterwards , referred to it as an explosion or other terminology that ’ s suggestive of it being an explosion-based event .
And we actually found a very small number , a very small percentage of the reporters who were reporting events in New York City , not mention explosions in their reporting » .
But the geopolitical alliances between the US , the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Israel are too influenced by that Deep International State which , through an apparatus of financial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ able to hide the truth for decades .
As happened in Congo for the plane crash in which the UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjold died , as happened for the Ustica massacre in Italy or the recent explosion on Beirut Port for an alleged Israeli nuke attack .

LAWYERS’ COMMITTEE PETITION
«In the Petition, the Lawyers’ Committee explains that the U. S. Attorney is legally required to present the evidence submitted to a grand jury» we read on complaint summary.
«The 52-page Petition, accompanied by 57 exhibits, presents extensive scientific and eye-witness evidence that explosives were used to destroy three WTC buildings on 9/11, including:
1) Independent scientific laboratory analysis of WTC dust samples showing the presence of high-tech explosives and/or incendiaries in the form of thermite or thermate (TH3 military variant of the other – es).
2) Testimony of numerous New York firefighters who were 9/11 First Responders that they heard sounds of explosions and saw explosions on 9/11 at the WTC resembling controlled demolitions, and some reported seeing molten iron like in a foundry.
3) Testimony and scientific analysis by numerous architects, engineers, physicists, and chemists demonstrate conclusively that the WTC Twin Towers and WTC Building 7 were brought down by use of explosives and incendiaries, not by airplane impacts or the resulting jet fuel and building fires.
4) Expert analysis of seismic evidence that explosions occurred at the WTC towers on 9/11 prior to the airplane impacts, and prior to the building collapses.

BUILDING 7, THE SMOKING GUN MISTERY
It is precisely on the mysterious collapse of building 7, the smoking gun of the hidden conspiracy, that the attention of “Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth” has focused, asking NIST for detailed information.
«Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth is sorely disappointed to report that on Friday, August 28, 2020, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued its initial decision denying the request for correction that we — together with ten 9/11 family members and 88 architects and structural engineers — submitted on April 15, 2020, regarding NIST’s 2008 report on the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7».

Even NIST’s own analysis shows that at elevated temperatures the girder would have expanded and become trapped behind the column’s side plate, thus preventing the girder walk-off that is alleged to have initiated a progressive collapse of the building».
LAWSUIT AGAINST FBI
It would be interminable to report in detail all the contents of the architects’ press release and therefore we point out the link while we focus on the considerations of the same association regarding the action against the FBI rejected by the District Court of Columbia.
«The FBI 9/11 Review Commission Lawsuit is complex litigation against the federal government comprising a number of phases that could last up to two years. The end goal is to compel the FBI to reconstitute its 9/11 Review Commission in some form, assess the evidence known to the FBI but omitted from the Commission’s 2015 report, and include that evidence in a new, amended report to Congress and the American people» wrote AE9/11Truth.
«For the first time ever, 9/11 family members and advocates are taking legal action against the FBI aimed at forcing the Bureau to assess and report the evidence of the World Trade Center’s explosive demolition as well as other unaddressed 9/11 evidence – we read on Lawyers’ Committee for 9/11 – In 2015, the FBI released the final report of its 9/11 Review Commission.

However, the report did not include an assessment of evidence related to the WTC demolition nor an assessment of several other areas of evidence known to the FBI.
But the Columbia District Court rejected the case despite too many still open questions raised even by intelligence sources as reported by Gordon Duff on VT which largely fit perfectly with the theories of lawyers and architects.
To understand it, just listen to three minutes of the video recorded for SGT Report and published on YouTube on 23 March 2019 regarding the legal action against the FBI. From the tenth minute onwards, architect Richard Cage not only refers to the famous “smoking gun” but talks about connections with the Saudis and with Israeli Mossad agents.
THE NUCLEAR DEVICES IN BUILDING 7
It would be too complex to reconstruct the multiple connections in this reportage and therefore we limit ourselves to recalling some salient passages published by VT.
«The destruction of Building 7 was the result of nuclear devices installed in 100 gallon Halon fire extinguishing tanks placed throughout the complex under a fire prevention equipment upgrade program, according to the US Department of Energy report,» wrote Duff on October 5, 2016.
«There is and has been evidence of Saudi Arabian involvement, even in the limited false narrative published in the 2005 9/11 report or the supposed missing “28 pages.”
«Real reports also show Mohammed Atta, the former Egyptian security officer, then with Saudi intelligence, to have been an operational planner operating from his rented apartment in Fort Lee. Where the cover-up hits home is that Atta was under surveillance by a team tasked with investigating nuclear terrorism against the US.
«This team, originally headed by FBI special agent John O’Neill and later by FBI special agent Mike Dick, which was to include nuclear weapons specialist Jeff Smith, was centered in Fort Lee, New Jersey, not just to watch Atta but to watch Atta and his accomplices, which included Israeli teams who used a safehouse only blocks away. Photo broadcast by Fox News listing Special Agent Mike Dick as “armed and dangerous,” claiming he was threatening to assassinate FBI officials.
This is the subject of the real investigation and the records of this, seized by the Department of Homeland Security, and held for release after 50 years, tell a wider story, one that involves Israel deeply at every turn, along with traitors in the Pentagon.
What we can do now is open doors for legal counsel going after Saudi Arabia. Without what is here, no counsel will be able to even be denied documents outlining witnesses and evidence that, according to the popular fictional narrative, do not exist» concluded Gordon Duff.

«Well, basically this paper is the result of Graeme and I watching about 70 hours of news coverage from September 11, 2001, and presenting the results of what we found. We compiled what we could find on the internet, continuous news coverage from about 11 different channels, ranging from the major networks to cable news to the local channels in New York City — basically, all the news organizations that had reporters on the ground at these various networks» told Walter.
« And what we found was that overwhelmingly that — I guess we say the great majority of the reporters who were there who witnessed the event, perceived it to be an explosion or an explosion-based event. And then the reporters who were on the ground talking about it in the minutes and hours afterward referred to it as an explosion or other terminology that’s suggestive of it being an explosion-based event. And we actually found a very small number, a very small percentage of the reporters who were reporting events in New York City, not mention explosions in their reporting».
But the geopolitical alliances between the US, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Israel are too influenced by that Deep International State which, through an apparatus of financial, judicial, and military powers, is able to hide the truth for decades.
As happened in Congo for the plane crash in which the UN Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold died, as happened for the Ustica massacre in Italy or the recent explosion on Beirut Port for an alleged Israeli nuke attack. Too many secrets to uncover, too many balances to subvert to give truth and justice to thousands of victims.

Lebanon has been faced with political upheavals , and the huge explosion which destroyed the Beirut Port .

By far , the answer is Hezbollah and its allies .

Mind you , the Americans were not happy about this meeting , as it was the first meeting ever held between any Hezbollah member with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Raad is a member of parliament that we are talking about and the head of a Lebanese political bloc that represents along with its allies the majority of the Lebanese parliament , so why wouldn ’ t he meet with Macron ?

Steven Sahiounie, journalist and political commentator
Lebanon has been faced with political upheavals, and the huge explosion which destroyed the Beirut Port. Steven Sahiounie of MidEastDiscourse asked a noted expert on Lebanon, Dr. Marwa Osman, to explain the recent visit of French President Macron to Beirut, and what it portends.
Steven Sahiounie (SS): Recently, France’s President Macron met with Mohammed Raad of Hezbollah. Do you think France is changing their position on Hezbollah?
Marwa Osman (MO): I don’t think it is a matter of position, rather a matter of a realistic view to the Lebanese political arena. Who hold the majority in the parliament? Who has the greatest public support in Lebanon? By far, the answer is Hezbollah and its allies. So it would be an absolute waste of time if Macron had decided to bypass the resistance in Lebanon while trying to find a solution to the economic and political deadlock in the country. Mind you, the Americans were not happy about this meeting, as it was the first meeting ever held between any Hezbollah member with a French President, yet this Mohammad Raad is a member of parliament that we are talking about and the head of a Lebanese political bloc that represents along with its allies the majority of the Lebanese parliament, so why wouldn’t he meet with Macron? The confusion is only there because the Americans did not like it because of the Beirut Barracks explosion of 1983 which the resistance never claimed responsibility for anyways.
SS: Lebanon chose a new Prime Minister on the very day President Macron arrived. Do you think his visit put pressure on the choice?
MO: Yes, it seems that everyone wanted to save face before Macron arrived because he promised the Lebanese presidency help at the international level in the form of a donors’ conference in October, and for this to take place there has to be a viable Lebanese government in place before then. Add to that the corona virus pandemic and the existential threat of a non-existent economy on the country made it also an emergency to have a government in place asap. Until now there has been no government announced but it was reported by Lebanese media that the current designated Prime Minister is set to provide the presidency with a list of names for his cabinet which should be approved soon.
SS: Macron has given a deadline to the Lebanese politicians and threatened them with sanctions. Isn’t that interference in Lebanon’s sovereignty?
MO: That is blatant and clear violation of political norms and international law too. As no state has a unilateral say in what other states can or cannot do. Yes, I do agree that we need anti-corruption plans put in place asap and reforms at the level of the judiciary system and the constitution and that we need to hold all those responsible accountable, but that is strictly a Lebanese internal matter and no other state or head of state has a say or even a right to give his or her opinion about this matter. Our justice system is capable of covering all the anti-corruption cases, we just need a political decision. Better yet, we need to completely remove politics from the judiciary system and that can only happen when we become a full secular state with a “one province electoral law”, which means abolishing the sectarian system of election in the country.
SS: The tension between the Israeli occupation and Hezbollah is on the highest level since the 2006 war. Do you think “Israel” is preparing for war on Lebanon?
MO: Israel is always at war with Lebanon, it has always been a case of cessation of hostilities, there never was peace. How can there be peace when the Israeli regime keeps violating our airspace, occupying our land and waters and assassinating our men? Every day we wake up to the sounds of fighter jets in our airspace and all day every day we are constantly harassed with spy drones that keep buzzing so loud it drives us crazy, Israel is always on high alert waiting for the next round to carpet bomb Beirut any chance it gets. However, a full out war is currently out of the question for several reasons. First, Israel knows that the rules of the game have changed especially after the resistance gained great experience from fighting off terrorism in Syria alongside the Syrian Arab army and the Russian army inside Syria. Second, Israel needs full US support to pursue a war on Lebanon and that is not an option at the moment because Trump is indulging himself in pre-elections campaigning that he has not time or desire to cause any damage to his electoral campaign and third the Israeli regime is suffering from high covid19 exposures that would keep its hands tied in the event they risked a war anytime soon.
SS: After visiting Lebanon, Macron headed for Iraq. What was the goal of that visit and dose France has designs on the Middle East?
MO: Macron popping for a visit in Baghdad as the first head of state to visit the Iraqi capital since Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi took office should not come as a surprise. The French president claimed to back Iraq’s sovereignty all the while his US allies still occupy the country. However, by playing Lawrence of Arabia in Iraq, Macron aims to fill the vacuum left by an isolationist America to boost France’s clout in west Asia. President Macron has seen the vacuum in question as an opportunity. He now acts as if he is Europe’s foreign policy leader by default and thinks that he has to run the show because there is a diplomatic-relations gap in the Western world. However, by trying to court all sides, Macron risks drawing a blank with one of them. Success in Lebanon might burnish his reputation as a consummate negotiator, however, skepticism is brewing about France’s ability to play a leading role in west Asia, where the US, Russia and their allies have traditionally called the shots.
