9/11 Inside Job
Justin WeiskergerDr. SlavinHon11/25/17What is the 9/11 truth movement? It is an organization determined to find the truth of what happened in the fall of the year 2001. September 11, 2001, was the day the deadliest terrorist attack in U.S. history occurred. Nearly 3,000 people were murdered by what we are supposed to believe was a group of 19 terrorist working alone. However, it is very hard to believe that these men had no outside help from our very own government. The 9/11 truth movement has been working on proving these men had help and that the United States government is hiding the truth about the events that occurred on that horrific day. They have uncovered a substantial amount of evidence that proves these men did not work alone and still the government will not admit they took part. This movement has made some American people realize our government is more concerned about money than they are about the welfare of their citizens and will do whatever they need to do to restrict our rights. Hopefully someday more people will see the light and be able to understand that our government has lied to us these past 16 years and if they don’t, they will continue to pull the sheets over our eyes and restrict our rights more and more until they have complete control over us.         On September 11th, 2001, 19 Arab men boarded planes armed with box cutters directed by Osama Bin Laden, who happened to be on dialysis, in a cave in Saudi Arabia, using only a satellite phone and a laptop executed the most complicated penetration of the heaviest guarded air space in the entire world (AnotherBoringWeek). These men high jacked four planes with plans to crash them into four separate targets. They drove around the air space for about an hour without being intercepted by a single fighter jet (AnotherBoringWeek). Three of which were successful, and one was not. The targets were the two Twin Towers, The Pentagon, and the third target which was unsuccessful was The White House. Shortly after the planes flew into the towers they both collapsed in a perfect free fall with little to no resistance. While this was going on, another plane was flown into The Pentagon. This plane hit directly in the budget analyst office where they were investigating a missing 23 trillion dollars Donald Rumsfield had mentioned the day before (AnotherBoringWeek). As for the plane headed towards The White House, the passengers teamed up and over took the high jackers and crash landed the plane in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania killing everyone on board and totally obliterating the plane into nothing with almost no recognizable remains of the plane and no human remains, not a single drop of blood.  News anchors were reporting live within minutes of the plane crashes that Osama Bin Laden was responsible for the attacks (AnotherBoringWeek). Another building also collapsed that day, it was world trade center 7. This building was not hit by any planes though, it is said to have collapsed from normal office fires ignited by falling debris from the Twin Towers. This would make it the first ever skyscraper to collapse due to fire alone (Loose Change). Or third if you count the towers as the first two despite the fact they were hit by an air plane. This is the story told to us by our government. It is very hard to believe that 19 men using a satellite phone and a computer were able to infiltrate our country, stay here for an extended period of time and then board planes to later fly them into national landmarks all acting alone. But, this is what our government told us happened and this is what we must believe without question and if we do question this we are un American and against our country.        Some people believe these attacks on American soil were perpetrated and covered up by high ranking government officials and there is glaring evidence that makes it seem like they are on to something. They believe that the government planned these attacks to gain power over the Middle East as well as the American people (Sáfrány). Shortly after the attacks the Patriot act was passed. This gives the government power to obtain personal information of any person they believe to be involved with terrorist activity. This includes tapping your phone and looking at your financial records along with a lot of other personal information they have no business of knowing. This could all be based on a book you’ve checked out from a library or a search you have made on any search engine. This is basically just an excuse to monitor anybody they want. The patriot act takes away practically all rights we have to privacy, if they want to know something about you they can find a way to link you to “suspicious” activity. How is this fair you might ask? It is not, it is a complete violation of human rights to privacy, it scares people and makes them think twice about everything they do. One reason many believe these attacks were an inside job is jet fuel cannot melt structural steel. The melting point of structural steel is 2,750 degrees Fahrenheit which is much hotter than the heat produced by jet fuel which is only 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit (Molé). Also jet fuel can only reach these temperatures if the supply is continuous for forty minutes, and in the case of The Twin Towers it was burned up immediately upon impact (Loose Change). This fact is also prominent at The Pentagon. According to the Loose Change documentary, there was hardly any remains of the plane that crashed there. The government says this is because the plane was disintegrated upon impact due to the jet fuel. But, titanium has a melting point of 1,688 degrees Celsius, jet fuel only reaches 1,120 degrees Celsius after a continuous fueling for forty minutes (Loose Change). Another reason that raises question is the flying ability of the high jackers. Flight instructors say that the pilots had a hard time landing a single engine plane, so it is hard to believe they were able to maneuver a full sized commercial airplane so precisely to hit their planned target on their first try (Loose Change). In more relatable terms, if you can’t drive and park a smart car there is no way you can operate, drive, and park a full-sized tractor trailer, or even a pickup truck for that matter. One reason many people believe the towers collapsed was the fact that they found trace evidence of thermite at the ground zero sight (Loose Change). According to Steven Jones, thermite is an explosive that when ignited burns at temperatures around 2500 degrees Celsius (Sáfrány). These temperatures are easily enough to melt the steel causing the towers to collapse upon themselves and if placed strategically the towers would collapse on their own footprint as they did.  Another interesting fact we must let go by the wayside is the actions of Larry Silverstein. On July 24th, 2001, just six weeks before the attack he signed a 3.2-billion-dollar 99-year lease on all World Trade Center complexes. This alone isn’t very eye opening, but the fact that he also got a 3.5-billion-dollar insurance policy specifically covering acts of terrorism is supposed to just be a coincidence (Loose Change). Some people believe there was no plane that hit The Pentagon, rather a missile of some sort. This is because although there was video recording of the impact sight from a nearby gas station, government officials quickly confiscated this and only released five frames of the video, none of which can you see a plane of any sort, only an explosion (Loose Change). Other videos that captured this event from nearby security cameras were quickly confiscated and destroyed not ever released to the public (Loose Change). Why don’t they let us see this footage? If they say a plane hit the building and they have footage of this plane hitting the building what do, they have to hide? Seems like they are definitely not telling us what actually happened if they can’t just release the whole video of the “plane” hitting the building not just five frames with no plane visible just a ball of fiery explosion.  Finally, one of the most disturbing pieces of evidence that supports the idea that the government had prior knowledge and helped carry out these attacks is the collapse or controlled demolition which ever you believe is true of World Trade Center 7. Larry Silverstein who was the majority owner of the World Trade Center complex when talking to a fire commander about the damage done by the office fires in building 7 is quoted saying, “Weve had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.” (Molé) After this conversation at about 5:20pm on September the 11th 2001 building 7 came falling down in a complete free fall. The only problem with the fact that the demolition happened on the same day is that it takes months to engineer and rig a controlled demolition (clbackus). From what Silverstein had said it seems they had planned and rigged the demolition in a matter of hours, inside a building that was burning so bad they couldn’t save it. This story actually contradicts what the National Institute of Standard and Technology’s lead investigator Shyam Sunder said in a conference in 2008, “World Trade Center 7 collapsed because of fires fueled by office furnishings. It did not collapse from explosives or from fuel oil fires.” (its2die4) How can these two completely contradict each other like that? A government official is claiming that the building collapsed due to normal office fires, while the building’s owner is quoted saying, “pull it.” So, which actually happened? If you compare building 7’s collapse to that of known demolitions, it is clear that the building fell at a complete free fall onto its own footprint just like a controlled demolition. Another fact to take into consideration is that there was the same thermite substance found in the wreckage of this building as there was at the sight of the two towers. The last piece of evidence there is that proves they are covering up the demolition is that the NIST said the building collapsed due to a failure on one single pillar. (its2die4) If this was true the building would have collapsed onto that pillar and not the whole building uniformly at the exact same time. For the building to fall at a free fall all pillars would need to fail at precisely the same time. This evidence has proved that some of the events that we are told occurred on that day are physically impossible. The government has been clearly lying to us and even though this evidence has been brought up they claim that it is all just a bunch of bullshit coming from paranoid conspiracy theorist, when it is actually real factual evidence that their story is just plain wrong and not what happened.
