Pre-9/11 World Trade Center Power-Down
by Victor Thorn - April 23, 2004
Forbes stated that Fiduciary Trust was one of the WTC’s first occupants after it was erected, and that a “power-down” had never been initiated prior to this occasion. He also stated that his company put forth a huge investment in time and resources to take down their computer systems due to the deliberate power outage. This process, Forbes recalled, began early Saturday morning (September 8th) and continued until mid-Sunday afternoon (September 9th) – approximately 30 hours. As a result of having its electricity cut, the WTC’s security cameras were rendered inoperative, as were its I.D. systems, and elevators to the upper floors.
~~
In addition, Forbes says there were other peculiarities revolving around this unreported event, including:
1) Fiduciary employees trapped between the 90-97th floors of the South Tower told family members (via cell-phone calls) that they were hearing “bomb-like explosions” throughout the towers.
2) Video cameras positioned atop the World Trade Center which were used to feed daily images to local television stations were inexplicably inoperative that morning.
3) A Fiduciary employee who was on one of the lower floors and escaped immediately after the first (North) tower was struck, reported that he was amazed by the large number of FBI agents that were already on the streets surrounding the WTC complex only minutes after the initial strike.
4) Last but not least, Ann Tatlock, CEO of Fiduciary Trust and now a board member of Franklin Templeton, had just arrived at a conference hosted by Warren Buffet at the Offutt Air Force Base (home of the U.S. Strategic Command Headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska) when the 9-11 attacks took place. Coincidentally, later that day President George W. Bush flew into this very same base on Air Force One for “security reasons.” Even more chilling are the Offutt AFB ties to the CIA’s MK ULTRA experiments, Project Monarch, the Franklin Cover-Up, and the diabolical practices of Michael Aquino.

For example, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed described the design of planned attacks of buildings inside the U.S. and how operatives were directed to carry them out. That is valuable information for those of us who have the responsibility to protect the American people. He told us the operatives had been instructed to ensure that the explosives went off at a high -- a point that was high enough to prevent people trapped above from escaping.

Get this straight, this was on the news. At the time, it was all over the news...
Guys, most of what we 'wild conspiracy theorists' are telling you about 9-11 was reported on the news, and in print. It's all been reported. Do you think we all just sit around imaging and cooking up subversive things to say? We're not pulling this stuff from wild conspiracy sites, or from our own arses. Most of what we are telling you is public information from media sources.
Do your homework, alot of you guys running around with your proove it this and proove it that, and I don't remember seeing that on the news, are talking out of your bums and offering little to DISPROVE anything.
If you've ever taken debate class, the 'burden of proof' bit that gets flaunted around here so much is laughable considering the statement has been made, in this case, "There was controlled demolitions", you disagree with it. If you diagree with something, the burden of proof is on you. You can't just walk into a formal debate and just sit there saying proove it, you would get laughed out of the competition, regardless of your position on the issue.

I can not remember what video it was, but there definatly is one out there where a WTC worker talks about the dust and noises in the building the week prior to 9/11. I seem to recall it was well presented, so its most likely a documentary.. as to which one

I am starting to not know what to beleive. I think that there were infact charges placed in the WTC, but I also beleive that it was an act of terrorism. I beleive it was terrorism becuase why would the government do this?

Folks, only in Modern America could the word truth be spun to become a derogatory term.
Same old stuff that has been debunked? Like what and by whom?
