To: Subject: 'Galvanic Corrosion' at WTC towers


In 1989 - there were plans to erect scaffolding and disassemble the WTC towers and rebuild them. Cost projection was around $5.6 billion. One of the architects shows up to work one day and the MIB's were there - had confiscated all of the plans, specs, details, etc for WTC. They even confiscated their office cubicles and had tape on the floor outlining where they went.

Reason - the exterior cast aluminum WTC panels had been directly connected to the steel superstructure of the building, thus causing galvanic corrosion. In short, the "life cycle" of the WTC was not 200 - 300 years, more like 30 years or so.

The exterior skin of the building - in being aluminum and connected directly to the super structure - was making the building weaker every day.

That could explain why there appears to be explosives set only about every 25 floors. Once the failure started, the brittleness of welds, rivets, bolts, etc would fail much easier as the loads became progressively greater on the way down.

That same process would also explain why the concrete was "powderized" over time because electrolytic processes weaken concrete too by "debonding" the Portland that causes concrete to bond in the first place. However, bear in mind that the "concrete floors" were not load bearing reinforced concrete. They were supported by what was a weakening by the day superstructure and cross members.

There was a 1989 meeting and the folks at the architectural firm [Emory Roth, the project architect that took over after the design architects completed the conceptual drawings] that had their office, records, plans and specs seized - were told that the $5.6 billion "take it down, rebuild it" project was cancelled and in about "10-12 years" they would "blow it up and start over". Consider that - and consider that NYC and the US Govt could not stand the global embarrassment of being so stupid or negligent that they did not consider the effects of galvanic corrosion on the superstructure. That is structural design 101 in architectural school and why they want architects to take physics and chemistry for Christ's sake. I did.

I am an architect by the way, quit practicing in 1988.

Guess what?

The fat lady HAS SUNG. You know, the one in New York Harbor with the torch of Liberty and Freedom held high.

I want to find the sick bastard that thought it would be a cute idea to have close to 3,000 in the building and use that as an excuse to go take on a whole new energy policy, war policy, and lining the pockets of just certain people.

I think a Statute of Liberty hanging for that person would be most appropriate.

Who is Holding the WTC smoking gun?
Dear friends and colleagues,

Several months ago I distributed the following photo of a fireman at Ground Zero standing in front of a massive central-core column that has clearly been cut at an angle.




You might recall that the angled cut clearly visible on the column (middle of photo) was the cause of vigorous discussion amongst many of us. We generally agreed at the time that the case for Thermate was not quite watertight based on what’s visible in the photo. It was argued by some -- experienced welders included -- that the cut could have been the result of a wrecker’s cutting torch. It was argued that while the melted iron residue along the cut-line could have been produced by a Thermate reaction, it could just as well have been slag from an oxy-acetylene cut.



Well, I now believe we have photographic evidence that could constitute very strong proof that that cut was caused by pre-positioned explosives.


The two photos below are screen-captures from a videotaped interview of a professional controlled-demolition crew at work setting up a steel-framed high-rise building for a pull. Note the carefully calculated angle of the shaped-charge positioned on the column in the photo below.



I am currently in possession of a segment of the interview that shows a technician actually setting up shaped charges on several massive steel columns.  In the video, the man goes on to verbally explain that the charges are positioned at an angle for a very specific reason: when the explosion causes the beam to sever, gravity loads assist separation by forcing the upper section — now cleanly severed — to laterally “walk” away from the stationary lower portion down the angled “slope”, thereby initiating collapse of the mass above it.

A straight cut, on the other hand, would simply cause the upper section to drop straight down onto the lower thereby arresting any further movement.

I think it should be clear to anyone who carefully compares these two scenarios that the beams at the WTC and those shown in the video were setup in similar fashion for like purpose (albeit with possibly different types of explosives).

I believe this very significant new information could well hold up in a court of law when these criminals are tried for murder AND treason.

Please distribute this information widely.

NB: Credit for these new photos should be given to the producers of the soon-to-be-released movie, 9/11 Mysteries (www.911mysteries.com). I feel privileged to have been invited to watch a rough-cut of this new movie. It is simply outstanding. Look for it online line in early August.

Kind regards,

Nila

Nova Scotia Bank Vault
According to the London Times: “The Comex metals trading division of the New York Mercantile Exchange kept 3,800 gold bars - weighing 12 tonnes and worth more than $100 million (£70 million) - in vaults in the building’s basement. Comex also held almost 800,000 ounces of gold there on behalf of others, with a value of about $220 million (worth more than $560,000,000 today). It also held more than 102 million ounces of silver, worth $430 million (Worth $1.5 billion today). The Bank of Nova Scotia, which kept gold in the Comex vault, reported $200 million of gold lost in the wreckage (Lost-!). Comex also held precious metals for Chase Manhattan Bank, the Bank of New York and Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking.”




Not surprisingly, one massive gold-filled truck was discovered, crushed, in the tunnels below the WTC complex. Perhaps, in the eight hours, between 9 AM and 5 PM, when WTC-7 was demolished and Americans were glued to televisions, horrified, masterful planners heisted hundreds of millions in gold bullion. Before Silverstein finally “pulled” the US government building, that is.

RICH GARLOCK: Some currency vaults owned by Citbank and Chase were badly damaged or burned in the fires that raged for 20 hours after the attack. The Nova Scotia bank vault, however, built inside the old Hudson-Manhattan terminal under WTC 4, was perfectly intact, albeit wet. FEMA's Miami Task Force marked the vault as searched on the 13th of September. We didn't go in to retrieve the metals until late October when we were able to clear a truck ramp with access to the area below WTC 7.(Who collected all the very significant files lying around??JB,Editor)

1.A Treasure in Silver and Gold

RICH GARLOCK: The vault was huge — two levels, 3,000 square feet each. When they opened the door, I realized why it was so big: there was a lot of gold and silver. The silver bars were like large loaves of bread, only they weighed about 70 pounds. The gold was smaller, but also very heavy, about 28 pounds each. It was around Halloween and I joked that I was going to come dressed as a Brinks guard. The team did a test run with the Brinks truck to make sure that it had the clearance, driving it up and then back out. The next morning the New York Post reported the vault had been emptied. In fact, it took a week to remove. The police said, "Hey, we couldn't have
better publicity."

2.RICH GARLOCK: The Port Authority wanted a PATH car for a future memorial or museum piece. The cars were beneath structures that needed to be demolished. We worked really hard with the contractors figure out demolition sequences to protect the cars.



3.RICH GARLOCK: Removing the PATH cars was like surgery. It took about a month because we had to take great care to demolish and remove the structure around it, without causing progressive damage. We patched a rail on the track and then pulled the train into the clearing where it could be lifted out.

4.RICH GARLOCK: Repairing the sphere for a temporary memorial was rewarding from an engineering standpoint. We worked together with iron workers and even Fritz Koenig, the sculptor, showed up to advise us. It came together very quickly to be ready for the March 11th deadline for the dedication of the memorial.

5.RICH GARLOCK: The sphere could be a symbol of what happened that day. It was the first place, other than the site, where we knew people could come to reflect, to mourn. And it represented another way for the engineers, contractors and ironworkers to contribute, constructively. Our nature is to create, not to deconstruct.

DRAWINGS:RICH GARLOCK: As soon as we had access to our office, we organized and copied subgrade and tower architectural drawings to distribute to FEMA [the Federal Emergency Management Administration] who passed them on to the search and rescue teams. We also spent a lot of time brainstorming with rescue personnel about where people might have been trying to escape — stairwells, elevators — or areas where they might have sought shelter from the collapse that could still be intact, where they might find people still alive. These maps (above) were made later and indicate what we believe were the subgrade conditions right after the towers collapsed on September 11th.

Chasing Stairwells RICH GARLOCK: As they dug through rubble, rescuers and contractors located stairwells and elevator shafts. Pictured here is the North Tower and stair tower B where Fire Department of New York Ladder Six was able to walk out, even as people below and above were killed. Hoping to find more people in stair towers A and C, we focused on columns. We could tell by their dimensions and piece numbers whether they were from the inside or the outside of the core of the building, and whether they were located near stairs. The South Tower fell slightly to the east and thus the stairwells traveled horizontally, spilling down in a trail.

A_B : RICH GARLOCK: The phasing out of the rescue operation and beginning of recovery happened gradually, somewhere around three weeks after September 11th when they started demobilizing the task forces. Our top priority as engineers was preservation of life — to help firefighters recover remains, with no more people lost. People took fewer risks than they had at the start when we hoped to find some alive.




We were still trying to find the stairwells, elevators, where people might have gone. We met with chiefs who would tell us, "I had a company who was over here by the hotel and wanted to get into Tower 2. How would they have tried to get there?" The image above shows the space between the two buildings where people may have been trying to exit.

STEEL:

Twisted Steel

For the second chapter — On September 11th — the team sought items to represent the hellish forces unleashed that day. "We saw a lot of pieces like this," said Wagner. "Typically, when steel bends, it buckles and tears. The smooth bend on this piece shows the steel became malleable — a pretty good indication of how hot it was."

Open letter to the publisher, editors and reporters of the Durango Herald

The publisher, editors and reporters

The Durango Herald

Durango, Colorado

81301

To all concerned:

            An article written by Alex Ritzenberg, Herald Staff Writer, entitled “Local woman explains conspiracy views of 911” was published by your newspaper on July 15, 2006.The article discusses the law suit brought against the Durango Herald by Judith Pfeif “for $7,500 to pay for what she says were efforts to expose inside-job theories about the cause of the September 11 attacks.” The court ruled against her. She has decided not to appeal “but maintains that mainstream newspapers have shirked their responsibility to investigate and publish information alleging government complicity in the attacks.”

            It is clear that what is arguably the worst crime committed in America in this century was never investigated as a crime. No effort was made to determine who did it. Instead the media began a drumbeat of “Osama and Al Queda did it.” Although proof of that was promised by Colin Powell, it never was produced. And Condaleezza Rice promised a “white paper” setting forth the proof, but it never appeared. When the President Bush demanded that Afghanistan turn over Osama, they agreed to do so but required that the U.S. first produce proof that he had done it. No proof was produced. See below.

            Osama twice publicly denied that he had anything to do with the events of September 11, 2001.

            Instead of producing proof, our government set about to hide the evidence. Obviously the first thing one would do to determine the cause of the collapse of the three towers at the World Trade Center would be to carefully examine the steel girders and other debris. But armed guards were immediately posted at the site and no one was allowed to examine the debris. Nor even take photographs of it. And then the debris was promptly shipped out of the country.

The best evidence of what struck the Pentagon is the images captured by surveillance cameras in the area. The videos from nearby surveillance cameras were quickly seized by the FBI from a service station with a direct view of the Pentagon. Similarly two other private surveillance cameras in nearby buildings were seized within minutes of the event. The Pentagon itself has many surveillance cameras, of course, that likely captured the event. However, with the exception of a few frames from a camera in a parking lot that shows an indistinct flying object striking the Pentagon, the government has refused all Freedom of Information Act requests for the release of this data. Strange, that, because the evidence in the videos would clear up the question of what actually struck the Pentagon.

A meeting of air traffic controllers was held shortly after 911 to discuss what they had experienced. Six air traffic controllers provided accounts of their communications with hijacked planes on Sept. 11, 2001, on a tape recording that was later destroyed by Federal Aviation Administration managers, according to a government investigative report.

....................................................

CONCLUSION: The tide is turning. The internet is allowing the truth to surface in spite of the concentrated media effort to suppress it. Videos are now free and available on the internet. One of the most popular is Loose Change, a documentary that explains what really happened on 911. It is being viewed around the country as well as around the globe. It is a must see!  See it here: http://www.loosechange911.com/

As journalists, you have to face the question: How can you continue to support the official theory of what happened on 911 when the truth keeps popping up showing that the government story is not true? You have indeed shirked your responsibility to investigate and publish information alleging government complicity in the attacks. At some point, don’t you think that the people will react negatively to your collaboration  in the propaganda campaign by our government? Based on that propaganda, this government went to war, stripped its citizens of their rights, and has made enemies for our country across the world. What will the public do when large numbers realize what you have done?

                                                            Very truly yours,
