was a controlled demolition.

Demolitions look just like that,

with that kink in the middle,

and then that building just comes

straight down almost at free fall speed.

They first blow one of the central columns

so the building falls in on itself.

Building 7 had a classic crimp or wedge.

Its central column was blown out first

so it didn't structurally damaged buildings

just a few feet away from it.

Our office was on the B-1 level.

As I was talking to a supervisor at 8.46

and all of a sudden we hear - BOOM!

An explosion so hard that pushed us upwards.

And it came from the basement,

between the B-2 level and the B-3 level.

And when I went to verbalize we heard - BOOM!

That impact of the plane on the top.

As I'm walking by the main freight car of the building

in the corridor, that's when I got blown.

I mean, the impact of the explosion

threw me to the floor

and that's when everything started happenin'.

All of a sudden a big impact happened again

and all the ceiling tiles were falling down,

the light fixtures were falling

You know, you gotta go clear across the hall

from 1 to 2 World Trade Center

and then all of a sudden it happened all over again.

It was something else, hit us to the floor,

right in the basement you felt it,

the walls were caving in

on everything that was going on.

I mean, I know people that got

killed in the basement,

I know people that got

broken legs in the basement,

people got reconstructive surgery

because the wall hit them in the face.

According to standard operating procedure

if an FAA flight control notices anything

that suggests a possible hijacking,

controllers are to contact the superior.

If the problem cannot be fixed

within about a minute

the superior should ask NORAD

(North American Aerospace Command)

to send up or scramble jet fighters

to find out what is going on.

NORAD then issues a scramble order to the

nearest air force base with fighters on alert.

And although interceptions usually occur

within 10 or so minutes,

in this case 80 or so minutes had elapsed

before the fighters were even airborne.

It's a mind-bending anomaly.

Not a single US Air Force interceptor

turns a wheel until it's too late.

There are no jets at all.

What if they were so confused, and had been so

deliberately confused that they couldn't respond?

The reason that they didn't know where to go

was because a number of conflicting and

overlapping war game exercises were taking place

that involved the insertion of false radar blips

on the radar screens in the north-east air defence sector.

There was another exercise - "Vigilant Warrior",

which was in fact according to a NORAD source

a live-fly hijack drill

being conducted at the same time.

With only 8 available fighter aircrafts,

and that have to be dispatched in pairs,

they were dealing with as many as 22

possible hijacks on the day of 9/11

and they couldn't separate the war game

exercises from the actual hijacks.

Page 172:

"The US Government has not been able to determine

the origin of the money used for the 9/11 attacks.

Ultimately, the question is of little practical significance."

The American authorities have not managed

to trace the source of the funding.

And then the most amazingly disingenuous

statement "ultimately is it of little consequence".

It is of massive consequence!

Doesn't it matter who paid for 9/11?

The collapse of Building 7 has been recognized

as a specially difficult to explain.

The 9/11 Commission Report implicitly admitted

that it could not explain the collapse of this building

by not even mentioning it.

Mr. President, why are you and the Vice President

insisting on appearing together before the 9/11 Commission?

Because the 9/11 Commission wants to ask us questions,

that's why we are meeting,

and I look forward

to meeting with them and answering their questions.

The question was, why are you appearing together

rather than separately, which was their request?

Because it's a good chance for both of us

to answer questions that the 9/11 Commission

is looking forward to asking us,

and I am looking forward to answering them.

Do you think they should be able to stand up and

speak their own words?

They should go under oath.

They should really?

Yeah. In public.

Don't you think that the families deserve to have

a transcript or to be able to see witnessing?

Haven't you asked me that question yesterday?

I got the same answer.

The final report was a unanimous report.

That means that if there was a single commissioner

who had any objection about anything,

that fact would be dropped from the report.

We have found out that he not only served

on the transition team of the Bush Administration,

that he was a person who wrote a draft memo

for the setup of the Bush Administration's

National Security Council,

that he was an individual

who wrote the pre-emptive war strategy

that was eventually used for the war on Iraq,

that he's a close friend of Condoleezza Rice's,

we want him to resign.

There is literally nothing in the 9/11 Report

that the Bush Administration did not approve of.

We can understand therefore

why that commission under Zelikow leadership

would have ignored all the evidence

that would point to the truth

that 9/11 was a false flag operation

intended to authorize the doctrines and funds

needed for a new level of imperial mobilization.

Terrorism.

The words are hypnotically repeating:

and of course

But, it's the so-called "War on Terrorism"

that's in our faces practically 24/7

as the inescapable focus of our existence.

One day our grandchildren will look back

on this time and ask:

"How was the War on Terror won?"

The entire US ruling class, ruling elite

comes to see terrorism as the preferred means,

indeed the only means,

to provide social cohesion, to provide an enemy

image for the society, to keep it together.

According to neocon theory from Carl Scmitt,

you have to have an enemy image

in order to have a society.

A very dangerous thing because

now it means that the entire social order,

the political parties, intellectual life,

politics in general

are all based on a monstrous myth.

Look what the CIA has done in this country.

What they done to us is unbelievable.

Look at the terrorist acts that have occurred.

The CIA behind most if not all of them.

We had the Marine Barracks, then embassy in Kenya.

We had Pan Am 103, we had the USS Cole,

we had Oklahoma City,

we had the World Trade Center in 1993.

...they helped the terrorists

to blow up the WTC the fist time.

They built the bomb, they got the driver's license.

The informer Emad A.Salem,

a 43-year-old former Egyptian Army officer,

he was given the assignment to put the bomb together

and he went to the supervisor, that's the FBI supervisor,

and he said, "we're gonna put a dummy bomb",

and the FBI supervisor says

"no, we're gonna put a real bomb."

The FBI actually carried out the attack
