Why the media ignored 9/11
The New Media sets a new tone
What was put on display on 9/11 was intended to bring about a traumatic experience. Any other terrorist would have gone about his work much more efficiently - he wouldn't have flown over a nuclear reactor, but instead right on top of it. He wouldn't have veered his airplane away from the section of the Pentagon where the leadership was situated and then go around and crash into a part that was unoccupied due to recent renovations. It wouldn't have taken much of a terrorist to take the laws of nature into account and topple the three WTC towers onto the surrounding area in highly concentrated Manhattan for greater effect, instead of arranging a complicated controlled demolition of the buildings directly into their own footprint. Instead of attacking a city's subway system with a 'dirty bomb' for example, the terrorists gave the biggest kid on the block a mere slap in the face - neither astute nor logical. Unless of course the attacks were made for TV and designed only to achieve maximum effect. This effect has also had its influence on the media. So while we have 'appointed' the media to go out and uncover the truth that is kept hidden by influential interests, this same media has positioned itself squarely behind those interests and has thereby neglected its duty, and worse yet, it has done damage to the truth. With the possibilities that the internet offers to a curious public, that public has gone past the Old Media. It will take some time for the street cleaner to cross over the center line. It will do that on it's own, don't sit around waiting for it. In the meantime stay curious, and stay informed.
Zogby Poll: 51% of Americans Want Congress to Probe Bush/Cheney Regarding 9/11 Attacks; Over 30% Seek Immediate Impeachment
"67% fault 9/11 Commission for not investigating anomalous collapse of World Trade Center 7"
Kansas City, MO (Zogby International) September 6, 2007 - As America nears the sixth anniversary of the world-churning events of September 11, 2001, a new Zogby International poll finds a majority of Americans still await a Congressional investigation of President Bush' and Vice President Cheney's actions before, during and after the 9/11 attacks. Over 30% also believe Bush and/or Cheney should be immediately impeached by the House of Representatives.
Response to NIST on Energy and Momentum

ABSTRACT
NIST, in their latest Answers to FAQs, artfully dodges the important issues on the
physics of conservation of energy and momentum in the collapse of the World Trade
Center Towers and Building 7. These issues and their unmistakable implications are
addressed.
NIST's Recent Answer to an Avoidance Question
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a new
supplement with Answers to Frequently-Asked Questions on December 14. One of
those questions dealt for the first time with the issue of energy and momentum
conservation, an issue I have addressed in recent articles and a news
interview.[1,2,3,4,5] However, here is the question as they formulated it and the
answer they provided to it.
The question was formulated in such a way to totally avoid the issues that have been
repeatedly raised on the conservation principles.[1,2,3,4,5,6,7] There was never any
issue of the energy and momentum the plane impacts had on the towers! Their
answer to this avoidance-question in fact points to one of the major problems they
ignore.
They stated correctly how the energy and momentum transferred to the towers
from the planes was soon dissipated. So the natural followup question is: where did
the energy and momentum come from that drove sudden squibs [which I define
here as the rapid horizontal movement of material away from the towers] and
destruction that started the collapse of the towers? NIST's question and answer
show they clearly could not come from the planes, and several analyses of the issues
show they could not have been produced by the fires the planes
caused.[1,2,6,7,8,9,10] NIST published 43 volumes of material that presumes and
concludes the planes and their fires started the collapses, but none of these volumes
discusses or even mentions the conservation of momentum or the conservation of
energy in the collapses.
In the case of the North Tower the collapse started and occurred rapidly and
suddenly in the top segment about 1.5 hours after the plane collision. What provided
the sudden source of energy that caused it? Clearly it was not the planes or fires.
Gravitation could not have provided anywhere near the energy expended in the
collapse, as calculations by Hoffman [11] on the energy used show. The amount
expended was much greater than what was available gravitationally, and there is
overwhelming evidence explosions supplied part of this energy, as squibs kept
bursting through the 4 walls 10 floors ahead of the collapse as the towers fell.[1]
Huge, up to 4000 square feet, pieces of the wall of several floors blew away from the
building. These clearly could not have been produced by the plane collision, since
the plane collision had a much smaller impact area, and since it went inward into
the building while such pieces of the wall blasted outward.
Collapse of the North Tower of the World Trade Center

Sequential photos of the first part of the collapse of the North Tower of the World Trade Center are examined for the causes and development. It initiates with a large explosion at the core of the tower at around the 94th floor, and is sequentially fed with at least 3 subsequent explosions a few floors below the progressing collapse which drive squibs [rapidly moving material] coming out of at least 2 faces of the tower. One of the squibs is seen to be composed primarily of a 30-foot or longer beam with tail material which breaks off at the wall and tumbles down. Also observed is a over 50-feet wide 6-story piece of the tower wall which was blown out away from the tower, as well as hundreds of pieces flying through the air, probably most of which came from the cladding on the tower's wall.

NIST spoke person said the reason we did not look into explosion bring the WTC down was there were NO WITTINESS!

The Government would like all of us to stop talking about 911! However, they do not have that control. Sure, they use the media (TV, radio, and newspapers) to spin their official conspiracy theories (that is a proven fact!). It really dose not surprises me any more to see mainstream media being contradicted by information on the internet. When the Government finally passes laws to control the flow of information on the internet, we will live in a world of nothing but lies, a delusional fantasy created by our Government.

This is a great topic, it is also very controversial.
I would offer up some advice.
1. No one here has convinced me, so you have probably not convinced everyone else. Stop assuming that your position is the only right one, and spend more time proving yours. You will be far more productive.
