Right -- it's mass ritual sacrifice -- feeding off the lower emotional energy of humans when they are killed but also when they give up their will power.
I have a book 725 scholarly footnotes -- it's scribd here Alchemy of Rainbow Heart Music: How Paranormal Sonofusion Subverts the Matrix Conspiracy
It might not seem directly relevant -- but it is. Before 9/11 happened I was a paid op-ed staff writer at the University of Minnesota Daily.
My final op-ed was called "Truth Repressed by Psychic Vampires." All my op-eds were fact checked and I was hired specifically because I had an email activist list that had exposed and challenged the corrupt corporations and Skull and Bones-Freemasonic control of the University of Minnesota.
So anyway it's important to understand the structural context of 9/11 -- have you seen or read Daniel Hopsicker's work or Sander Hick's work?
It's sad because 9/11 is so traumatic that each individual conspiracy activist has their limitations of how much they can handle. But if they are all considered they complement each other.
On the morning of 9/11, President George W. Bush visited children at an elementary school. Certain vocabulary words were repeated by the class as Bush watched: “HIT, STEEL, PLANE, MUST.” If we change the order we get PLANE MUST HIT STEEL. In your face.

As leaseholder of buildings One, Two, Four and Five, Silverstein had the legal right to rebuild the buildings, including 1 World Trade Center at the World Trade Center site which would later be designated as building One, and while the site remains unoccupied, he continues to pay $10 million per month in rent to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. After the September 11 attacks, the United States Congress approved $8 billion in tax-exempt Liberty Bonds to fund development in the private sector at lower-than-market interest rates. $3.4 billion remained unallocated in March 2006 designated for Lower Manhattan, with about half of the funds under the control of Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the other half under the control of former Governor George Pataki.

2 struck by planes then fires one struck by debris then fire. WTC 7 had a gash cut in one elevation which ran over 20 floors reported by the NYFD unless of course you are calling them liars?
If that gash was so important then why didn't the building tilt in that direction during the collapse?

Precisely, no amount engineering can account for the millions of varying effects of the damage caused by either plane impact. It should be taken as almost impossible to summise and account for in the design process. The fact is, no designer or computer model in the world could factor in the forces of an aricraft impact with any degree of accuracy to replciate it's precise effect, only applied forces/conditions to each and every vertical (and horizontal member) in an X-Y direction and magnitude would have been accounted in a realistic design environment, and let's not forget, they were not simulated on a computer either like today, they were done by hand which is an exhausting process to say the least.
This is an understandable emotion driven response but we would propose instead that designing a structure with fire as a design load provides a more robust design solution.Simply increasing fire proofing thickness without understanding the actual structural response to heat provides no guarantees of increased safety.
Seismic design relies on modelling, risk analysis and changes to the structural stiffness. Wind design relies on additional structural members and wind tunnel tests. Current fire design relies on very simple, single element tests and adding insulating material to the frame. Thermal induced forces are not calculated or designed for.
Boyle: ...on the north and east side of 7 it didn’t look like there was any damage at all, but then you looked on the south side of 7 there had to be a hole 20 stories tall in the building, with fire on several floors. Debris was falling down on the building and it didn’t look good.
Boyle: There was a huge gaping hole and it was scattered throughout there. It was a huge hole. I would say it was probably about a third of it, right in the middle of it. And so after Visconti came down and said nobody goes in 7, we said all right, we’ll head back to the command post. We lost touch with him. I never saw him again that day.

...also we were pretty sure that 7 World Trade Center would collapse. Early on, we saw a bulge in the southwest corner between floors 10 and 13, and we had put a transit on that and we were pretty sure she was going to collapse. You actually could see there was a visible bulge, it ran up about three floors. It came down about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, but by about 2 o’clock in the afternoon we realized this thing was going to collapse.

If you or anyone can seriously with a decent argument....

Fire might have had an influence on weakening the structure but the actual collapse wasnt due the fire, thats just way to simplified.
Why? I mean we are talking about fire here, not being pelted with marshmallows. Fire is one of the most destructive forces in nature. Why is it that you think that a force that can "weaken" a building but cannot "weaken" the building to the point of failure?
