Government Refuses to Consider Cause of 47
story World Trade Center skyscraper Building 7 Demolition
by David R. Kimball (Graphics Added)
“It is natural for man to indulge in the illusions of
hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth … For my part,
whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole
truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.”
-- Patrick Henry
“The important thing is to never stop questioning.”
-- Albert Einstein
Everyone remembers the Twin Towers exploding at 9:59AM and
10:28AM EDT on September 11, 2001. Comparatively few people can recall that
there was a third massive skyscraper, also a part of the World Trade Center,
which fell very rapidly to the ground on that day.
This
was World Trade Center Building 7.1
One reason that few remember WTC Building 7’s collapse is
that after September 11th it has been treated, both in the media and in The
9/11 Commission Report, as if it didn’t happen.
“The total collapse of the third huge skyscraper late in
the afternoon September 11th was reported as if it were an insignificant
footnote... most people never saw video of Building 7’s collapse…
Incredibly, it is virtually impossible to find any mention of Building 7 in
newspapers, magazines, or broadcast media reports after September 11th.” 2
“The Commission avoids another embarrassing problem –
explaining how WTC 7 could have collapsed, also virtually at free-fall speed
– by simply not mentioning the collapse of this building.” 3
The collapse of Building 7 at 5:20PM EDT was in itself a
major event; the sudden and unexplained fall to earth of a 47-story
steel-framed skyscraper is certainly news. Why has there been almost no
mention of this in the U.S. corporate mass-media, and why was there no
mention of Building 7’s collapse in The 9/11 Commission Report? These are
questions of great significance, and they cry out for answers. To be able to
approach any kind of explanation, however, first some pertinent and verified
facts of the Building 7 aspect of 9/11 need to be scrutinized.
The following eleven facts have been compiled from the
research
of reputable sources – those who have dared to question and have devoted
innumerable hours into discovering what really happened on 9/11.
FACT 1: WTC Building 7 was one of the largest buildings in
downtown Manhattan. It was 47 stories tall, about half the height of the
Towers, and took up an entire city block. It was 300 feet from the closest
Twin Tower (the North Tower, WTC 1), and was a steel-framed, concrete
structure.4
FACT 2: WTC Building 7 – on its 23rd floor – housed an
Emergency Command Center for the City of New York that Mayor Rudolph
Giuliani had built in the mid-1990’s. On the morning of September 11th,
Mayor Giuliani did not go “to his Command Center – with its clear view of
the Twin Towers – but to a makeshift, street-level headquarters at 75
Barkley Street.” WTC 7 also held the offices of numerous government
agencies, including the U.S. Department of Defense, the CIA, the Secret
Service, the IRS, and the Security and Exchange Commission.5 Late 2001 was
the time of “the height of the investigation into Enron, so the majority of
Enron’s SEC filings were likely destroyed when World Trade Center 7 came
down.”6

FACT 3: WTC Building 7 was not hit by airplane or
significant debris on September 11th. It had been evacuated after the planes
hit the towers. By the afternoon of September 11th, there were a few small
fires of unknown origin evident in the building, and these small fires could
be seen in only a few of the hundreds and hundreds of windows in the
building.7
FACT 4: On 11 September 2001, at 5:20PM, EDT, World Trade
Center Building 7 suddenly and rapidly collapsed. Beginning with the
penthouse, all 47 stories of it imploded into its own footprint in less than
seven seconds. Three different videos of Building 7’s vertical collapse –
two from CBS video broadcasts, and one from an NBC news camera – can be seen
online, LINK.
FACT 5: On 16 September , NASA flew an airplane over the
World Trade Center site, recorded infrared radiation coming from the ground,
and created a thermal map. The U.S. Geological Survey analyzed this data,
and determined the actual temperature of the rubble. This map shows that
five days after the collapse of Building 7, the surface temperature of a
section of its rubble was 1,341º F.8 This high a temperature is indicative
of the use of explosives.
“WTC 7’s rubble pile continued to smolder for months.”9

FACT 6: Fire Engineering magazine is the 125-year-old
paper-of-record of the fire engineering community. Bill Manning,
editor-in-chief, wrote an Editor’s Opinion in the January, 2002 edition. His
editorial, $elling Out the Investigation, pointed out that destruction of
evidence – the hurried removal of rubble which should be examined by
investigators – is illegal. He also issued a “call to action”. To quote
excerpts:
“For more than three months, structural steel from the
World Trade Center has been and continues to be cut up and sold for scrap.
Crucial evidence that could answer many questions … is on the slow boat to
China …”
“I have combed through our national standard for fire
investigation, NFPA 921, but nowhere in it does one find an exemption
allowing the destruction of evidence for buildings over 10 stories tall.”
“Fire Engineering has good reason to believe that the
‘official investigation’ blessed by FEMA [Federal Emergency Management
Agency] and run by the American Society of Civil Engineers is a half baked
farce [emphasis mine] that may have already been commandeered by political
forces whose primary interests, to put it mildly, lie far afield of full
disclosure. Except for the marginal benefit obtained from a three-day,
visual walk-through of evidence sites conducted by ASCE investigation
committee members – described by one close source as a ‘tourist trip’ – no
one’s checking evidence for anything.”
“The destruction and removal of evidence must stop
immediately.”

“Firefighters, this is your call to action. …contact your
representatives in Congress and officials in Washington and help us correct
this problem immediately.” 10 11
FACT 7: In May of 2002, FEMA published their report #403
titled World Trade Center Building Performance Study. This report claims
that the fires caused the building to collapse, but that the specifics of
how this is supposed to have occurred “…remain unknown at this time.”12
FACT 8: The collapse of WTC Building 7 shows five
characteristics of a controlled demolition:
It “dropped directly into its own footprint in a smooth,
vertical motion”;
It “collapsed completely in less than seven seconds”;
“Dust streamed out of the upper floors of Building 7 early
in its collapse”;

“WTC 7’s roof inverted toward its middle as the collapse
progressed”; and
“WTC 7’s rubble was mostly confined to the block on which
the building stood.”13
FACT 9: “Larry Silverstein is a rather large player within
the realms of 21st Century real estate, finance, and politics.”14 He “…had
taken out a long lease on the World Trade Center only six weeks before 9/11.
In a PBS documentary entitled ‘America Rebuilds’, originally aired in
September of 2002, Silverstein made the following statement about Building
7:
‘I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department
commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to
contain the fire, and I said, “We’ve had such terrible loss of life, maybe
the smartest thing to do is pull it.” And they made that decision to pull,
and we watched the building collapse.’” 15 16
FACT 10: “It is inconceivable that anyone could be running
around placing explosives in exactly the right places all within seven
hours. In fact, implosions take a minimum of two weeks and up to two months
to plan and place the charges. The fire department of New York does not even
train their personnel to do controlled demolition. They are done by highly
skilled experienced specialists who plan and test far ahead.”17
FACT 11: “… [George W.] Bush’s brother, Marvin Bush, and
his cousin, Wirt Walker III, were principles in the company [Stratesec,
formerly named Securacom] that was in charge of security for the World Trade
Center, with Walker being the CEO from 1999 until January 2002.”18
In summation: A major aspect of 9/11 has been excluded
from the entire U.S. media after September 11th, and was also omitted from
The 9/11 Commission Report. This was the sudden fall to earth, on September
11th, 2001, of World Trade Center Building 7. Not hit by airplane or
significant debris, 300 feet from the closest Twin Tower, and with just a
few small fires burning within it, at 5:20PM EDT this massive concrete and
steel-framed 47-story skyscraper imploded into its own footprint in less
than seven seconds. Its rapid implosion had all of the characteristics of a
controlled demolition, and the World Trade Center leaseholder, Larry
Silverstein, stated in so many words that the building had been collapsed by
demolition. It takes weeks, if not months, to prepare the demolition of a
building as large as WTC 7; this implosion could not have been engineered
and implemented in seven chaotic hours on September 11th. Therefore, a
question emerges:
Who had the means and expertise to engineer such a
demolition and acquire needed materiel, and who had access to WTC Building 7
PRIOR TO September 11, 2001 in order to place the explosives?
An inquiry into the answer to this question might be a
good place to begin a search for the real perpetrators of 9/11. Do we, the
citizens of the United States, have the courage and honesty necessary to
initiate an actual investigation, or will we continue living a Lie – and
reap the consequences?

Taking Back Your Power
by Allen Aslan Heart
WHAT CAN YOU DO? Stop playing THEIR game.
Take back your power. Stop paying taxes that are not legal or lawful. Stop
paying bills you don't really owe. Stop using THEIR money. There ARE ways if
you open your mind and look for the gaps in their fences that keep the
sheeple in their pasture. Are you chattel or a real person? You are the one
who makes that choice.
