"The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah. It will attain world domination by the dissolution of other races...and by the establishment of a world republic in which everywhere the Jews will exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this New World Order the Children of Israel...will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition..." (Karl Marx in a letter to Baruch Levy, quoted in Review de Paris, June 1, 1928, p. 574)
The Protocols make it
quite clear that ’anti-semitism’, meaning ’anti-Judaic’, is an
’indispensable’ part of the plan for world domination. It will be used
for "the management of our lesser brethren".
The latest one snared Osman Mohamud, a Somali-American teenager in Portland, Oregon. The Associated Press report by William Mall and Nedra Pickler (11-27-10) is headlined in Yahoo News: "Somali-born teen plotted car-bombing in Oregon."
This is a misleading headline as the report makes it clear that it was a plot orchestrated by federal agents. Two sentences into the news report we have this: "The bomb was an elaborate fake supplied by the [FBI] agents and the public was never in danger, authorities said."
The teenager was supplied with a fake bomb and a fake detonator.
Three sentences later the reporters contradict the quoted authorities with a quote from Arthur Balizan, special agent in charge of the FBI in Oregon: "The threat was very real."
The reporters then contradict Balizan: "White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said Saturday that president Barack Obama was aware of the FBI operation before Friday’s arrest. Shapiro said Obama was assured that the FBI was in full control of the operation and that the public was not in danger."
Then Shapiro contradicts himself by declaring: "The events of the past 24 hours underscore the necessity of remaining vigilant against terrorism here and abroad."
The story arrives at its Kafka highpoint when President Obama thanks the FBI for its diligence in saving us from the fake plot the FBI had fabricated.
After vacillating between whether they are reporting a real plot or a orchestrated one, the reporters finallycome down on the side of orchestration. Documents released by US Attorney Dwight Holton "show the sting operation began in June." Obviously, the targeted Portland teenager was not hot to trot. The FBI had to work on him for six months. The reporters compare "the Portland sting" to the recent arrest in Virginia of Faroque Ahmed who was ensnared in a "bombing plot that was a ruse conducted over the past six months by federal officials."
Think about this.The FBI did a year’s work in order to convince two people to participate in fake plots.
If you are not too bright and some tough looking guys accost you and tell you that they are Al Qaeda and expect your help in a terrorist operation, you might be afraid to say no, or you might be thrilled to be part of a blowback against an American population that is indifferent to their government’s slaughter of people of your ethnicity in your country of origin. Whichever way it falls, it is unlikely the ensnared person would ever have done anything beyond talk had the FBI not organized them into action. In other cases the FBI
entices people with money to participate in its fake plots.
Since 9/11, the only domestic "terrorist plot" that I recall that was not obviously organized by the FBI is the "Times Square plot" to which Faisal Shahzad pleaded guilty to trying to set off a car bomb in Manhattan. This plot, too, is suspicious.One would think that a real terrorist would have a real bomb, not a smoke bomb.
In the May 19, 2009, online site, sott.net (reprinted Nov. 27, 2010), Joe Quinn collects some of the fake plots, some of which were validated by torture confessions and others by ignorant and fearful juries. The-Tortured-and-Manipulated-Terrorist-Threat-EvidenceThe US government comes up with a plot, an accused, and tortures him until he confesses, or the government fabricates a case and takes it to jurors who know that they cannot face their neighbors if they let off a media-declared "terrorist."
Perhaps the most obvious of these cases is "the Miami seven," a hapless group of Christian-Zionist-Muslims that called themselves the "Sea of David" and were quietly living in a Florida warehouse awaiting biblical end times. Along came the FBI posing as Al Qaeda and offered them $50,000 and an Al Qaeda swearing in ceremony.
The FBI told them that they needed to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago and various government buildings. An honest reporter at Knight Ridder revealed: "The Justice (sic) Department unveiled the arrests with an orchestrated series of news conferences in two cities, but the severity of the charges compared with the seemingly amateurish nature of the group raised concerns among civil libertarians," who noted that the group had "no weapons, no explosives."
The Justice (sic) Department and tamed media made a big show out of the "militaristic boots" worn by the hapless "plotters," but the FBI had bought the boots for them.
The biggest piece of evidence against the hapless group was that they had taken photos of "targets" in Florida, but the US government had equipped them with cameras.
The US government even rented cars for its dupes to drive to take the pictures.
It turns out that the group only wanted the $50,000, but an American jury convicted them anyhow.
When the US government has to go to such lengths to create "terrorists" out of hapless people, an undeclared agenda is being served. What could this agenda be?
The answer is many agendas. One agenda is to justify wars of aggression that are war crimes under the Nuremberg standard created by the US government itself. One way to avoid war crimes charges is to create acts of terrorism that justify the naked aggressions against "terrorist countries."
Another agenda is to create a police state. A police state can control people who object to their impoverishment for the benefit of the superrich much more easily than can a democracy endowed with constitutional civil liberties.
Another agenda is to get rich. Terror plots, whether real or orchestrated, have created a market for security. Dual Israeli citizen Michael Chertoff, former head of US Homeland Security, is the lobbyist who represents Rapiscan, the company that manufactures the full body porno-scanners that, following the "underwear bomber" event, are now filling up US airports. Homeland Security has announced that they are going to purchase the porno-scanners for trains, buses, subways, court houses, and sports events. How can shopping malls and roads escape? Recently on Interstate 20 west of Atlanta, trucks had to drive through a similar device. Everyone has forgotten that the underwear bomber lacked required documents and was escorted aboard the airliner by an official.
The "war on terror" provides an opportunity for a few well-connected people to become very rich. If they leave Americans with a third world police state, they will be living it up in Gstaad.
This despite the fact that everyone on the planet knows that it is not lactating mothers, children, elderly people in walkers and wheelchairs, members of Congress, members of the military, nuns, and so on, who are members of Al Qaeda plotting to bring aboard a bomb in their underwear, their shoes, their shampoo and face creams.
Indeed, bombs aboard air liners are a rare event.
What is it really all about? Could it be that the US government needs terrorist events in order to completely destroy the US Constitution?On November 24, National Public Radio broadcast a report by Dina Temple-Raston: "Administration officials are looking at the possibility of codifying detention without trial and are awaiting legislation that is supposed to come out of Congress early next year." Of course, the legislation will not come out of Congress. It will be written by Homeland Security and the Justice (sic) Department. The impotent Congress will merely rubber-stamp it.
The obliteration of habeas corpus, the most necessary and important protection of liberty ever institutionalized in law and governing constitution, has become necessary for the US government, because a jury might acquit an alleged or mock "terrorist" or framed person whom the US government has declared prior to the trial will be held forever in indefinite detention even if acquitted in a US court of law. The attorney general of the United States has declared that any "terrorist" that he puts on trial who is acquitted by a jury will remain in detention regardless of the verdict. Such an event would reveal the total lawlessness of American "justice."
The United States of America, "the city upon the hill,""the light unto the world," has become Nazi Germany. It was the practice of the Gestapo to ignore court verdicts and to execute or hold indefinitely the cleared defendant in the camps. The Obama regime is in the process of completing Dick Cheney’s dream by legislating the legality of indefinite detention. American law has collapsed to the dungeons of the Dark Ages.
This Nazi Gestapo policy is now the declared policy of the US Department of Justice (sic).
Anyone who thinks the United States is a free society where people have liberty, "freedom and democracy" is uninformed.
During the past two months I have been involved in research about the Rothschild/Mossad network behind the criminal destruction of the steel from the World Trade Center. I have found that the network that arranged for the destruction of the steel - critical evidence from the crime scene - was actually organized by Israel's Mossad and their Zionist agents, the real culprits behind the false-flag terrorism that changed the world. This article will be the final and conclusive chapter of my book, Solving 9/11 - The Deception that Changed the World.
On 19 November 2010 I sent photographs of two of the main people involved in the "recycling" of the 300,000 tons of steel from the World Trade Center to Roy Tov, the Christian Israeli author of The Cross of Bethlehem. I sent these photos of the culprits behind the criminal destruction of the steel to Tov because he is very knowledgable about the Mossad, having been pursued and targeted by Israeli assassins around the world. This is what Roy Tov wrote back to me on November 21:
Thanks Christopher,
If the pictures are real, then there is little doubt regarding their allies and employers. The chances they'll answer in such case are slim, or it will be in the form of an attack (lawyers or violent) against you.
In September, when I began my research into the people behind the destrucion of the steel, I called the Hugo Neu company, which was one of the two New Jersey scrapyards that "recycled" the steel. Hugo Neu was a German Jewish immigrant from Fürth (like Henry Kissinger, another Rothschild agent) who came to America and worked as a bank clerk with Seligman & Co. before becoming the head of Associated Metals and Minerals Corporation (AMMC) in New York in the 1930s with his German Jewish fellows, Meno Lissauer and Walter M. Rothschild, the company's president. Lissauer's wife, Meta, was also Walter Rothschild's sister. Hugo Neu started his own scrap metal company in 1945. The company is now run by his son, John, and has very close business ties to the state of Israel and is invested in a Mossad-linked Israeli venture fund.
Since 2001, the two companies involved in the destruction of the steel, Sims Metal Management and Hugo Neu, have merged into one company. I called and asked to speak with Alan Ratner, the former head of Metal Management in New Jersey, Daniel Dienst, or Robert Kelman, since these were the key executives involved in the 9/11 steel recycling. I got through to Ratner's secretary, who gave me his email, but instead of letting me speak to any of these men, I was connected to company's spokesman, Daniel Strechay.
Daniel Strechay is the corporate gatekeeper who speaks for the company who profited from the illegal destruction of the steel evidence from the World Trade Center.
Strechay was completely unwilling to answer any questions. I told him that the destruction of the steel is a matter of great historic importance and that in the interest of fairness and accuracy I wanted to speak directly with the people involved. Strechay refused, saying "It's all a matter of public record. Read the Wall Street Journal."
He then said that the company is very proud of how it handled the steel from the Twin Towers, but was adamant in his refusal to let me speak with any of the men who were actually involved in the operation, and hung up the phone. Later, I got through to Alan Ratner by email and he wrote back, so I sent him a few questions, but he yet to respond. Clearly, these men do not want to discuss their roles in the destruction of the steel from the World Trade Center.
I called Kenneth Holden at his home in Scarsdale, New York, on October 16, to ask him some questions about his role in the clean-up of the debris at the World Trade Center. Holden is the former head of New York City's Department of Design and Construction (DDC), and was the official who oversaw the removal of the steel. As Mayor Bloomberg said about Commissioner Holden, when he was reappointed as head of the DDC in January 2002:
New Yorkers are fortunate to have Commissioner Holden agree to remain as Commissioner of DDC," said Mayor Bloomberg. "Over the last four months he has done a terrific job managing the clean up of the World Trade Center and so that the reconstruction process for Lower Manhattan can begin. By coordinating the movement of millions of tons of steel and rubble, excavating one of the most dangerous work sites in the world all seemingly ahead of schedule, under budget and without a fatality, Kenneth Holden has been the unsung hero of this enormous task.
When Holden gave his statement to the 9/11 Commission on April 1, 2003, he said that he had received "verbal permission" to remove the steel to New Jersey scrapyards, but failed to name the person who had authorized the move. Oddly, nobody bothered to ask who gave Holden the verbal permission:
Steel and debris from the site was sent to Fresh Kills where it was examined and sifted. As the Department of Sanitation could no longer handle the steel with their equipment, and our engineers thought the steel would destabilize the landfill, DDC received verbal permission to ship the steel to New Jersey. (From whom?) By the end of June 2002, an astounding total of over 1.6 million tons of steel and other debris were removed from the site.
It was Saturday morning when I reached Holden at his home. I told him I was working on an article about the destruction of the steel from the World Trade Center and wanted to ask him a few questions. He bawked a bit at first, saying that he was no longer giving interviews on the subject, so I repeated what he told the commission and asked the most important question first: Who gave you the verbal permission to ship the steel to New Jersey scrapyards? I was able to repeat the question twice very clearly. After a short pause Holden said, "As I said, I'm not giving interviews on this subject." Then he silently ended the call.
I thought for a minute and called Holden right back. He picked up the phone and I immediately asked, "Was it Chertoff? Was it Michael Chertoff who gave you the verbal permission?" Holden was silent on the other end of the line, then he ended the call as he had done before.
"Silence is agreement" is the old Estonian saying that came to mind. The logic is that Holden could not deny that Chertoff had given him the verbal permission, so he remained silent. Common sense would suggest that the permission must have come from Chertoff, who as Assistant Attorney General of the United States was the top dog responsible for the federal (FBI) investigation of 9/11.
Assistant Attorney General Michael Chertoff was "top dog" at the FBI during the "non-investigation" of 9/11, in which the crucial steel evidence was destroyed in Asian smelters before being examined by engineers. Chertoff's Israeli mother, Livia Eisen, was one of the first Mossad agents. An Israeli by birth, Michael spent much of his childhood in Israel.
To understand the essence of the crime, I recommend reading the short article "Selling Out the Investigation" by Bill Manning of Fire Engineering. Manning's piece was published on January 1, 2002. The destruction of the steel was a crucial part of the 9/11 hoax. A hoax cannot succeed if there is evidence that reveals the truth and 9/11 is a global hoax.
The Twin Towers were primarily steel structures supporting 220 lightweight concrete floors.
The towers were well built structures that used more steel than today's skyscrapers. The debris contained about 300,000 tons of steel that was hastily dispatched by a New York City official to two Zionist-controlled scrapyards in New Jersey - before it could even be inspected by engineers. These Jewish-owned scrapyards then shipped the steel - hard evidence from the crime scene - to Asian smelters where it was melted down far from the prying eyes of U.S. investigators. Why was this allowed and who was behind it?
An organization called the NYC Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN) is calling for the public to demand that the district attorney of New York County investigate and prosecute those responsible for the destruction of the evidence from the crime scene. This is from their open letter/petition of June 23, 2010 to the district attorney's office:
Cy Vance, Jr. District Attorney of New York County Thomas Wornom, Bureau Chief, Special Prosecutions Bureau
Dear Sirs:
Over the last three weeks you have been informed about the overwhelming evidence that World Trade Center Building 7 was demolished with explosives. I trust that you understand the serious implications of this crime and that you are resolved to prosecute the guilty parties. To provide a critical steppingstone in your investigation, I would like to bring to your attention the widely documented – and widely protested – destruction of physical evidence (structural steel) at the crime scene, which I contend is prosecutable pursuant to Article 205 of the New York Penal Code, § 205.50 Hindering Prosecution.
“[A] person ‘renders criminal assistance’ when, with intent to prevent, hinder or delay the discovery or apprehension of…a person he knows or believes has committed a crime…he...suppresses, by any act of concealment, alteration or destruction, any physical evidence which might aid in the discovery or apprehension of such person or in the lodging of a criminal charge against him;”
I will present publicly available information on the destruction of physical evidence from the World Trade Center site, below my signature, in four sections entitled:
1. Official acknowledgement of the destruction of physical evidence from the WTC. 2. Control of the WTC cleanup. 3. The decision to destroy the physical evidence. 4. The continued destruction of evidence despite public outcry
The supporting documentation provided in this letter/petition from NYC CAN includes the following:
“In the month that lapsed between the terrorist attacks and the deployment of the [FEMA Building Performance Assessment Team (BPAT Team)], a significant amount of steel debris—including most of the steel from the upper floors—was removed from the rubble pile, cut into smaller sections, and either melted at the recycling plant or shipped out of the U.S. Some of the critical pieces of steel—including the suspension trusses from the top of the towers and the internal support columns—were gone before the first BPAT team member ever reached the site. Fortunately, an NSF-funded independent researcher, recognizing that valuable evidence was being destroyed, attempted to intervene with the City of New York to save the valuable artifacts, but the city was unwilling to suspend the recycling contract.” - Committee on Science, U.S. House of Representatives, March 6, 2002
“[T]here is so much that has been lost in these last six months that we can never go back and retrieve. And that is not only unfortunate, it is borderline criminal.” - Joseph Crowley, U.S. Congressman, 7th District, New York
“[O]n September 28, the New York Times learned that the city was recycling the steel. When the Times contacted Kenneth R. Holden, commissioner of the Department of Design and Construction, he said that no one from the investigative team had asked him to keep or inspect the steel. The ASCE, it turned out, had faxed a request, but to the wrong fax machine. Late that afternoon, after reporters shuttled the correct fax number to the ASCE, Holden said that a request had finally reached him."
Commissioner Kenneth R. Holden and his wife Frances McGuire. Holden was given an award in 2002 by the AIA New York Chapter after he had overseen the criminal destruction of the steel from the World Trade Center. Why was he being awarded when he should have been arrested?
By September 28, the DDC is publicly known to have been aware of the BPAT’s request for the steel to be saved, however, the decision to recycle the steel stood.
Of course, Mayor Giuliani – previously a U.S. Attorney – and the DDC had to be fully aware of the illegality of destroying the physical evidence prior to their decision to recycle the steel. Their refusal to desist from recycling the steel when asked by the investigative team to do so – still less than three weeks into the cleanup effort, with hundreds of thousands of tons of steel still salvageable, and relatively negligible revenue from selling the steel not an issue because there was virtually unlimited federal funding for the cleanup effort – strongly suggests their contravention of the law was deliberate and motivated by intent to prevent the discovery of a crime they knew had taken place...
Calls to halt the recycling fell on deaf ears. According to Times reporters Glanz and Lipton:
“Officials in the mayor's office declined to reply to written and oral requests for comment over a three-day period about who decided to recycle the steel and the concern that the decision might be handicapping the investigation. ‘The city considered it reasonable to have recovered structural steel recycled,’ said Matthew G. Monahan, a spokesman for the city's Department of Design and Construction, which is in charge of debris removal at the site”
Why didn’t the city simply stop recycling the steel? Again, the outright refusal of city officials to desist from recycling the steel strongly suggests their contravention of the law was deliberate and motivated by intent to prevent the discovery of a crime they knew had taken place.
I strongly support the NYC CAN petition to prosecute those behind the criminal destruction of the steel from the World Trade Center. My forthcoming article will reveal the key people involved in the terror network behind this crime.
In the meantime, I recommend visiting the website of NYC CAN to understand the basis of their appeal for justice and the extent of the criminal destruction of evidence from the World Trade Center: http://www.nyccan.org/join.php
Embassy Cables Prove Arab Traitors are Allies of Israel
.
.
Embassy cables reveal the Alliance of Arab Puppet Rulers with the staunch enemies of Arabs and Muslims namely the US and Israel against Muslim Iran despite Iran’s insistence that its programme is for peaceful use only.
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has repeatedly urged the United States to attack Iran to destroy its nuclear programme, according to leaked US diplomatic cables that describe how other Arab allies have secretly agitated for military action against Tehran.
The revelations, in secret memos from US embassies across the Middle East, expose behind-the-scenes pressures in the scramble to contain the Islamic Republic, which the US, Arab states and Israel suspect is close to acquiring nuclear weapons. Bombing Iranian nuclear facilities has hitherto been viewed as a desperate last resort that could ignite a far wider war.
The Saudi king was recorded as having “frequently exhorted the US to attack Iran to put an end to its nuclear weapons programme”, one cable stated. “He told you [Americans] to cut off the head of the snake,” the Saudi ambassador to Washington, Adel al-Jubeir said, according to a report on Abdullah’s meeting with the US general David Petraeus in April 2008.
The cables also highlight Israel’s anxiety to preserve its regional nuclear monopoly, its readiness to go it alone against Iran – and its unstinting attempts to influence American policy. The defence minister, Ehud Barak, estimated in June 2009 that there was a window of “between six and 18 months from now in which stopping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons might still be viable”. After that, Barak said, “any military solution would result in unacceptable collateral damage.”
The leaked US cables also reveal that:
Officials in Jordan and Bahrain have openly called for Iran’s nuclear programme to be stopped by any means, including military.
Leaders in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt referred to Iran as “evil”, an “existential threat” and a power that “is going to take us to war”.
Robert Gates, the US defence secretary, warned in February that if diplomatic efforts failed, “we risk nuclear proliferation in the Middle East, war prompted by an Israeli strike, or both”.
Major General Amos Yadlin, Israeli’s military intelligence chief, warned last year: “Israel is not in a position to underestimate Iran and be surprised like the US was on 11 September 2001.”
Asked for a response to the statements, state department spokesman PJ Crowley said today it was US policy not to comment on materials, including classified documents, which may have been leaked.
Iran maintains that its atomic programme is designed to supply power stations, not nuclear warheads. After more than a year of deadlock and stalling, a fresh round of talks with the five permanent members of the UN security council plus Germany is due to begin on 5 December.
But in a meeting with Italy’s foreign minister earlier this year, Gates said time was running out. If Iran were allowed to develop a nuclear weapon, the US and its allies would face a different world in four to five years, with a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. King Abdullah had warned the Americans that if Iran developed nuclear weapons “everyone in the region would do the same, including Saudi Arabia”.
America is not short of allies in its quest to thwart Iran, though some are clearly more enthusiastic than the Obama administration for a definitive solution to Iran’s nuclear designs. In one cable, a US diplomat noted how Saudi foreign affairs bureaucrats were moderate in their views on Iran, “but diverge significantly from the more bellicose advice we have gotten from senior Saudi royals”.
In a conversation with a US diplomat, King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa of Bahrain “argued forcefully for taking action to terminate their [Iran's] nuclear programme, by whatever means necessary. That programme must be stopped. The danger of letting it go on is greater than the danger of stopping it.” Zeid Rifai, then president of the Jordanian senate, told a senior US official: “Bomb Iran, or live with an Iranian bomb. Sanctions, carrots, incentives won’t matter.”
In talks with US officials, Abu Dhabi crown prince Sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed favoured action against Iran, sooner rather than later. “I believe this guy is going to take us to war … It’s a matter of time. Personally, I cannot risk it with a guy like [President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad. He is young and aggressive.”
In another exchange , a senior Saudi official warned that Gulf states may develop nuclear weapons of their own, or permit them to be based in their countries to deter the perceived Iranian threat.
No US ally is keener on military action than Israel, and officials there have repeatedly warned that time is running out. “If the Iranians continue to protect and harden their nuclear sites, it will be more difficult to target and damage them,” the US embassy reported Israeli defence officials as saying in November 2009.
There are differing views within Israel. But the US embassy reported: “The IDF [Israeli Defence Force], however, strikes us as more inclined than ever to look toward a military strike, whether launched by Israel or by us, as the only way to destroy or even delay Iran’s plans.” Preparations for a strike would likely go undetected by Israel’s allies or its enemies.
The Israeli prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, told US officials in May last year that he and the Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak, agreed that a nuclear Iran would lead others in the region to develop nuclear weapons, resulting in “the biggest threat to non-proliferation efforts since the Cuban missile crisis”.
The cables also expose frank, even rude, remarks about Iranian leaders, their trustworthiness and tactics at international meetings. Abdullah told another US diplomat: “The bottom line is that they cannot be trusted.” Mubarak told a US congressman: “Iran is always stirring trouble.” Others are learning from what they describe as Iranian deception. “They lie to us, and we lie to them,” said Qatar’s prime minister, Hamad bin Jassim Jaber al-Thani.
Emirati crown prince broaches invasion of Iran
Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed hosts top officials for a weekly forum on regional issues. He is ominous about the Iran nuclear crisis, at one point declaring that it would take an invasion of ground forces to eradicate Iran’s nuclear installations.
Abu Dhabi favours action to prevent a nuclear Iran
The crown prince of the emirate, Sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed, outlines his fears about the intention of the Iranian regime and its president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
In a conversation with the US general David Petraeus, Kuwaiti Armed Forces deputy chief of staff, Lieutenant General Ahmed Khalid al-Sabah says Kuwait is ready to rebuild relations with Iraq as part of the US strategy to strengthen the government in Baghdad and hand over security responsibilities. But distrust of Iran’s intentions concerning Shia minorities in the Gulf, and the situation in Yemen, colours their conversation. Brigadier General Abdulrahman al-Hadhood, chief of Kuwaiti military intelligence, says the future of Iran, and its relations with its neighbours, is in the hands of the supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.
Kuwait should not even exist. It is an integral part of Iraq. Must be liberated
Oman sultan resists Iranian charm offensive
Sultan Qaboos tells US central command’s Admiral William Fallon that he shares US concerns about Iranian meddling in Iraq and elsewhere, but contends Tehran knows confrontation with US is not in its interest. Iran’s “charm offensive” in the Gulf Co-operation Council countries had succeeded in lessening the suspicions of some officials about the true intentions of Iranian policies.
US ambassador reports Jordanians believe engaging with Iran will reward hardliners and undermine Arab moderates – without convincing Iran to cease support for terrorism, end its nuclear programme or drop its hegemonic aspirations. Best way to counter it is to achieve a two-state solution and make sure that Iraq is not overwhelmed by Iranian influence.
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has repeatedly urged the United States to attack Iran to destroy its nuclear programme, according to leaked US diplomatic cables that describe how other Arab allies have secretly agitated for military action against Tehran.
The revelations, in secret memos from US embassies across the Middle East, expose behind-the-scenes pressures in the scramble to contain the Islamic Republic, which the US, Arab states and Israel suspect is close to acquiring nuclear weapons.

Zionist Puppet Bahrain king says Iranian nuclear programme must be stopped
King Hamad pointed to Iran as the source of much of the trouble in both Iraq and Afghanistan.
He argued forcefully for taking action to terminate their nuclear program, by whatever means necessary.
"That program must be stopped," he said. "The danger of letting it go on is greater than the danger of stopping it." King Hamad added that in light of these regional developments, Bahrain was working to strengthen GCC coordination and its relations with allies and international organizations. He specifically mentioned NATO and confirmed that Bahrain had agreed to the Alliance's request to use Isa Airbase for AWACS missions, although the detail on numbers and timing have yet to be discussed.

The leak of over 250,000 American diplomatic cables could prove highly embarrassing for the US State Department. The documents reveal what US diplomats really think of other countries, and their worldview is incredibly dark at times. Relations with several countries are likely to suffer as a result.
In an event that is no less than a political meltdown for United States foreign policy, reporting on 251,287 leaked American diplomatic cables, many classified as secret or confidential, will be published this Monday in Germany by SPIEGEL and SPIEGEL ONLINE.
In the documents, which were leaked to the whistleblowing platform WikiLeaks, US diplomats stationed across the globe report back to the State Department in Washington, communicating sensitive information about international arms deals, evaluating political developments or assessing the corruption level of local leaders.
The compendium of reports, most of which cover the period from 2003 until the end of February 2010, sheds light on America's at times arrogant view of the world. Never before have so many political revelations embarrassed the US State Department in one fell swoop.
In one cable, the US ambassador in Moscow clearly describes the rivalry between Russia's two leaders, President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, with the former being described as "pale and hesitant" and having "none of the bravado" of the latter.
In another, US diplomats reveal that the attempt to persuade different countries to accept Guantanamo inmates turned into a downright bazaar, with offers of accepting prisoners being made in exchange for development aid or a visit by President Barack Obama.
In yet another cable, American diplomats in East Asia reported about members of the Beijing leadership who had grown sick and tired of the escapades of their North Korean ally Kim Jong Il and who could conceive of reunification under the control of South Korea.
Dark View
The State Department's emissaries abroad cultivate a clear-eyed view of the countries they are posted to, a view that is at times incredibly dark. Viewed through the eyes of the US diplomats, entire states -- Kenya for example -- appear as mires of corruption. If one were to believe the gloomy reports from the embassy in Ankara, Turkey, is on a slippery slope to volatile Islamism, spurred on by the narrow-minded government of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is portrayed as being reliant on a group of incompetent advisers.
Even the leadership of a close ally such as Germany emerges in a poor light in the cables. The members of the ruling government coalition in Berlin denigrate each other in comments to the US ambassador to Germany, Philip Murphy. For example, Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg tattled on his colleague German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle, telling the US ambassador that Westerwelle was the real barrier to the Americans' request for an increase in the number of German troops in Afghanistan. And the US diplomats are rather cool in their assessment of Chancellor Angela Merkel: One dispatch describes her as risk-averse and "rarely creative."
Sometimes the US embassy activities seem to go beyond the requirements of diplomacy. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton demands of members of her diplomatic corps that they prove their worth as spies. The embassy staff are asked to acquire any accessible personal details of UN staff, including credit-card numbers and frequent-flyer customer numbers.
Explosive Revelations
The most explosive documents are those that describe developments that relate to major global crises. In the Middle East, the US diplomats report, it is not just the Israelis who fear Iran's nuclear ambitions. No one speaks quite as angrily about Tehran as the Arabs, who want most of all for the US to supply them with weapons.
When it comes to Pakistan, the US never quite knows if it is dealing with an ally or an enemy in the war on terror. The diplomats repeatedly report on political or military links between the Pakistanis and the Afghan Taliban.
And in Yemen the US allowed itself -- against its better judgement -- to be drawn into President Ali Abdullah Saleh's conflict with the Houthi in the north of the country, even though their military aid was only supposed to be used in the fight against al-Qaida, which is particularly active in the country.
The State Department, which has described the cables as "diplomacy in action," is extremely annoyed that the reports are being released. The Americans share some of the blame, however. In order to improve the flow of information between different officials, the State Department created its own computer network for classified documents, one that 2.5 million US citizens had access to. The leaking of the diplomatic cables was an accident that was waiting to happen.

The third truth about eleventh of September
The official story of September 11th is like a bag full of lies and this seems to be a proven fact for the alternative community. What did really happen? A new series of revelations from a former member of the Russian nuclear intelligence has shocked even the ones who believed to have a clear view behind the curtain.
Dimitri Khalezov
How exactly did the WTC buildings collapse? The analysis work of an expert for nuclear explosions leads us to a shocking conclusion.
When ordinary people saw how two planes struck the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York and how the Twins Towers then collapsed in clouds of dust during 9/11 events, they were too shocked by the incidents to subject the events to any level of scrutiny. Since then, the strange notion has been embedded into the people’s minds: that hollow aluminum planes could allegedly penetrate thick steel buildings in their entirety, and that aviation fuel (kerosene) could allegedly “melt” these steel buildings into fluffy microscopic dust…
Sooner or later, these ridiculous notions have to be discarded. The Twin Towers’ collapse had absolutely nothing to do with any planes or with any fires allegedly caused by the “planes”. This is an obvious fact that occupies minds of millions of Americans who are unhappy with the official interpretation of the World Trade Center’s destruction for the last 6 years, at least. When the initial shock caused by the 9/11 events subsided, many people began to realize that inconsistencies in the official version were simply too many.
First; what attracted their attention was that the order in which the Twin Towers collapsed did not correspond to the order in which they were struck by the planes. The South Tower which was hit second, collapsed first, and the North Tower that was hit first, collapsed second. This means that it took for the “fires” 1 hour and 42 minutes “to collapse” the first Tower and only 56 minutes – to collapse the second Tower. Considering that the fires in both Towers were caused by approximately same quantities of kerosene and considering that the Towers were Twins (i.e. absolutely identical in their strength), it was the first clear indication that their collapse had nothing to do with the fires. The next realization came when the 9/11 researchers began to consider that the World Trade Center building #7 (an enormously strong modern metal-frame type 47 stories high skyscraper) also collapsed in similar manner late afternoon the same day, but without being hit by any plane. If the collapse of the Twin Towers was officially blamed on kerosene allegedly carried by the “planes”, the collapse of the WTC-7 was unexplainable to such an extent that the official Report of the 9/11 Commission preferred not to mention building #7 collapse at all – as if the collapse of a 47-stories high modern skyscraper was not worth mentioning. Comparison of these three events and a lot of irregularities surrounding their collapse brought the first 9/11 researchers to the realization that they were being cheated by authorities and the World Trade Center destruction had anything to do neither with kerosene, nor with the “planes”, because the planes were not actually needed. The mere collapse of the WTC building 7 late afternoon September 11, 2001, proved that the actual terrorist planes were redundant and the collapse of the World Trade Center would occur in any case – irrespective of any “planes”. Someone simply needed the World Trade Center to collapse and that is why it collapsed. From this point the so-called “9/11 Truth Movement” has started.
People then began to accuse the US Government of intentionally demolishing the World Trade Center in an industrial process known as a “controlled demolition”. More and more people in America started also to accuse their own government of being the main culprit behind the 9/11 attacks and eventually more than 65% of the US population expressed their disbelief into the official explanation of the 9/11 attacks and of the World Trade Center’s collapse. In fact, everybody who watched the contemporary 9/11 coverage attentively enough could remember these screen pictures where the “third explosion” was mentioned:
And, understandably, the most of the people who disagree with official “kerosene” theory, accuse the US Government of intentionally demolishing the World Trade Center. However, they do not have much understanding about demolition processes in general and of the World Trade Center’s actual construction in particular. That is why quite a few “conspiracy theories” appeared that range from claims that the WTC was allegedly “wired with explosives” to claims that it was allegedly demolished by so-called “nano-thermite” (a mystic substance hitherto unheard of) that was allegedly “used as a coating” of any and every metal piece of the Twin Towers’ bearing structures. There are even more bizarre conspiracy theories that blame the Twin Towers’ collapse on alleged “high-tech weapons” – such as alleged laser beams originating from space, for example. Of course, none of these conspiracy theorists can agree with each other and spend their time not only accusing the US Government of being allegedly the main culprit behind 9/11, but also accusing each other of “muddying the waters of the truth”. The problem of all these conspiracy theorists in general, however, is that they do not know what really happened with the World Trade Center and, most importantly, they don’t know why it so happened.
The author of this article will try to present to his reader something different. Instead of presenting just another “conspiracy theory” he will present expert opinion in addition to his eyewitness’ testimony along with his experience and knowledge from his former position in the Soviet Army. As a result of this approach, I hope, the reader will get far better explanation in regard to the WTC demolition that he or she could encounter on any specialized forum on the Internet that is dealing with the 9/11 conspiracy.
Ground Zero and ground zero.
To begin with I would like to remind everyone that the spot of the former World Trade Center in New York is called in English “Ground Zero”. Many people seem not to realize what these words “ground zero” actually mean and how important is evidence which they represent. Many just took “Ground Zero” for a proper noun – as if it were a name of a city or a name of a ship. However, not many people remember today that the strange name “ground zero” was assigned to the spot of the former WTC way too quickly to be a “Proper Noun”. Almost immediately after the Twin Towers’ collapse (a few hours before the collapse of the WTC-7) – i.e. by noon time September 11, 2001, almost all officials and even some news reporters have began to refer to the area as “ground zero”. All news releases printed the next day too called the spot of the former WTC as “ground zero” and these strange words were still spelled by then with low-case letters. This usage of “ground zero” in relation to the former WTC area continued throughout September 12, 2001, and some news agencies continued using “ground zero” in low-case letters even throughout September 13, 2001. Only then, as if someone has realized his mistake, this strange name has been suddenly elevated in status to become “Ground Zero” with Capital Letters and as such it, at last, became the Proper Noun. But what about “ground zero” with low case letters – i.e. not in a status of the Proper Noun yet?
Why would they call the WTC spot almost immediately after the Towers’ collapse by such strange words? Was it a mistake caused by a confusion in the midst of the unprecedented 9/11 events? I could answer “yes”. It was definitely a mistake caused by the general confusion. It was not however a mistake in the sense that the wrong name has been selected to call the WTC spot – simply because it was too early at that moment to figure out the proper name. In fact, the Civil Defense specialists were absolutely right when they designated the area as “ground zero”. There has been absolutely no mistake in such a designation. It was indeed “ground zero” in a sense the Civil Defense understood it. It was absolutely a mistake in the sense that these strange words “ground zero” were inadvertently leaked to journalists and through them – to the general public. After that it became simply too late to quash this strange Civil Defense designation and the desperate US officials had no choice afterwards than to “Capitalize” these seditious words and to convert the proper Civil Defense’s designation into the Proper Noun.
To begin with, I would like here to quote a statement concerning one of the 9/11 heroes – Detective John Walcott, a “Ground Zero” responder, who spent a considerable amount of time in the WTC site cleaning the rubble of the World Trade Center. He spent enough time there to develop a strange disease: acute myelogenous leukemia in its terminal form. Just two paragraphs of this statement from a scary article “Death by Dust”[1] managed to contain and to reveal to us practically all those “unexplainable” strange things – which the reader will need as a basic premise to understand the main point of this article – both about dust and about radiation:
“…Because Walcott was a detective, he ended up spending his five-month stint not just at Ground Zero, but also at Fresh Kills. As much as he choked on the Lower Manhattan air, he dreaded the Staten Island landfill. Walcott knew everything in the towers had fallen - desks, lights, computers. But apart from the occasional steel beam, the detritus that he sifted through there consisted of tiny grains of dust - no furniture pieces, no light fixtures, not even a computer mouse.
At times, the detectives would take shelter in wooden sheds, in an attempt to get away from what Walcott likes to call "all that freaking bad air." One day, he was sitting in the shed with his colleagues, eating candy bars and drinking sodas, when some FBI agents entered. They were dressed in full haz-mat suits, complete with head masks, which they had sealed shut with duct tape to ward off the fumes. As Walcott took in the scene, contrasting the well-protected FBI agents with the New York cops wearing respirator masks, one thought entered his mind: What is wrong with this picture?[2]...”
Yes, Mr. Walcott, unfortunately something was wrong, very badly wrong with that picture…
Those FBI agents, who were not ashamed to wear those full haz-mat suits, moreover, sealed shut with duct tape, in front of unprotected “commoners”, knew the truth. That is why they do not suffer now from leukemia or from any other kinds of terminal cancer. The FBI agents will apparently live long and fulfilling lives, despite briefly visiting “Ground Zero”…
If you would only open a contemporary dictionary to look at the actual meaning of this strange term, you won’t need to ask that question; you would understand immediately what was wrong with “Ground Zero”:
All possible meanings of “ground zero” as defined by The New International Webster’s Comprehensive Dictionary of the English Language (Deluxe Encyclopedic Edition 1999, ISBN 1-888777796), page 559.
It should be mentioned that Mr. John Walcott eventually managed to survive, unlike many of his colleagues who used to work at “Ground Zero” and who were less lucky... On December 17, 2007, it was briefly mentioned in some Internet news[3] that John Walcott at last underwent some truly strange (and an extremely painful) operation – a bone marrow transplantation. From now on, he could continue to live (on special immuno-depressant drugs that would prevent his transplant rejection; and without leaving his house due to the fact that his immune system no longer exists and any kind of infection could easily be fatal).
For someone who does not know what the “marrow transplantation” means, I am obliged to explain. The marrow transplantation is required for patients who suffered heavy doses of either penetrating or residual ionizing radiation (or both) and whose own bone marrow (that is responsible for blood regeneration) is completely killed by these heavy doses of radiation. It is a strange property of radiation – it always strikes bone marrow cells most heavily compared to any other cells of human body. That is why majority of victims of radiation suffer from leukemia – the heavier radiation dose was – the more of their bone marrows is killed, so the heavier is their leukemia. John Walcott, apparently, suffered from the heaviest possible condition –before he obtained his bone marrow transplant, since being afflicted he had previously lived exclusively on donors’ blood, because his own blood was not regenerating at all.
In addition to killing or severely damaging bone marrow, ionizing radiation, especially when someone inhales or ingests some radioactive dust or radioactive vapor, could cause various kinds of cancer that can affect virtually any part of human’s body, or even a few parts simultaneously. However, it is pretty easy for dishonest doctors and health officials to give some plausible “explanations” in regard to these cancers. They can claim that it is due to “asbestos”, “toxic fumes”, “toxic dust particles” etc. But when it comes to bone marrow damage, these deceivers are caught out. The bone marrow damage could only be caused by ionizing radiation.
That is precisely why those FBI agents wore full “haz-mat” suits with head masks even sealed shut with duct tape “to ward off the fumes” while visiting “Ground Zero”. They did not want to suffer from leukemia, nor from any other cancer, so when they additionally sealed shut their head masks with duct tape, they did it not “to ward off the fumes” as believed by John Walcott. They did it solely in order to ward off airborne radioactive dust and especially radioactive vapor, which they wanted neither to inhale, nor to ingest.
Yes, I guess that some readers would be just too shocked at this particular revelation and might not tend to believe me – thinking that I am merely speculating on uncertainties. However, the abovementioned story of John Walcott and the FBI agents wearing haz-mat suits on “ground zero” has nothing to do with me personally – it exists as a matter of fact independently of the humble author of this article. As independently, as exists the actual legal definition of “ground zero” which before 9/11 used to be as follows:
“ground’ ze’ro” – the point on the surface of the earth or water directly below, directly above, or at which an atomic or hydrogen bomb explodes.
Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language (Edition 1989, printed in 1994, ISBN 0-517-11888-2).
“ground zero” = point on the ground directly under the explosion of anuclear weapon.
Dictionary of Military Terms (Peter Collins Publishing 1999, ISBN 1-901659-24-0).
“ground ze-ro” /,.’../ n [U] the place where a NUCLEAR bomb explodes, where the most severe damage happens
Longman Advanced American Dictionary (new, first published 2000, ISBN 0 582 31732 0).
“ground zero” noun1 [C usually singular] the exact place where a nuclear bomb explodes: The blast was felt as far as 30 miles from ground zero. 2 [U] the site of the former World Trade Center in New York City, which was destroyed in an attack on September 11, 2001.
Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, 2nd Edition. (2nd Edition 2006, ISBN-13 978-0-521-60499-4 - this is a post 9/11 edition, widely available).
The above were complete, unabridged definitions of “ground zero”. It was the only definable and proper definition of it’s meaning… If you don’t believe your eyes and prefer to run to the nearest book store to buy some English dictionary, don’t be in a hurry. When you arrive to such shop you will be surprised even more, because it is no longer possible to find any dictionary with pure old definition of this strange term. Those dictionaries printed before 9/11, such as mentioned above, that contained the only true meaning of “ground zero” term have been a long time ago removed from book-shelves and replaced with some newer ones. Unfortunately, the very English language was one of the first victims of the 9/11 perpetration…
Do not be surprised that almost all new English dictionaries, printed after 9/11, began to describe “ground zero” as allegedly having more than one sense. At least 3-5 new meanings have been ascribed to this term, ranging from alleged “great devastation”, “great disorder” and “busy activities” to some alleged “basic level” and “starting point”. Some preferred another approach: editors of a new Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, for example, defined “ground zero” as a “place where a bomb explodes” without mentioning anything at all that such a “bomb” supposes to be only a nuclear or a thermo-nuclear one. In addition to all of it, now almost all dictionaries – either big or small – began to include this (to be exact “these”) definitions. The term “ground zero”, obviously because of being too specific, prior to 9/11 existed only in really big English dictionaries – such as Webster’s Unabridged, full Collins, full American Heritage, and similar (and there it has only a single meaning). It did not exist in smaller dictionaries – such as those intended for students and for advanced learners (the only exception was the Longman Advanced American Dictionary – mentioned above). For example, “ground zero” was absent in Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionaries of 4th, 5th and 6th Editions, published before September 11, 2001. Even Oxford’s 4th special “Encyclopedic” version (that was about 50% larger compared to a normal one) did not include any “ground zero’s” definition. Only Oxford’s Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of 7th Edition first published in 2005 began describing this term at last.
Post-9/11 editions of Macmillan English Dictionary for Advanced Learners and Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, all kinds of new Merriam-Webster’s Dictionaries, majority of new American Heritage Dictionaries, new Collins English, Microsoft Encarta Dictionary, and many other new dictionaries and encyclopedias after the September 11 affair all began to include “ground zero” and to define it in a sense that it might allegedly have more than one meaning, trying all their best to divert attention of their readers from the former nuclear (and only nuclear) nature of that term. By the way, editors of the last mentioned above Cambridge Advanced Learner’s Dictionary have to be praised for not cheating their readers: they were brave enough not to include any misleading definition of “ground zero” into their post-9/11 dictionary, in sharp contrast to all other dictionaries editors at service of 9/11 cheaters. It was reported that there were even attempts to prove that “ground zero” was allegedly used to describe that location long before the September 11, 2001. All these post-9/11 linguistic efforts in regard to “ground zero” are understandable, indeed. That strangely revealing name, rashly awarded by Civil Defense specialists to the demolition grounds of the former New York World Trade Center, was obviously too revealing to leave that term in future editions of dictionaries with only its former sense alone…
WTC nuclear demolition.
The author of this article used to be a commissioned officer in the Soviet military unit 46179, otherwise known as the "Special Control Service of the 12th Chief Directorate of the Defense Ministry of the USSR". The 12th Chief Directorate itself was an organization responsible in the Soviet Union for safe-keeping, production control, technical maintenance etc. of the entire nuclear arsenal of the state. While it’s Special Control Service was responsible for detecting of nuclear explosions and also responsible for control of observance of all international treaties related to the nuclear tests. It is especially important because of the existence of the so-called “Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty” of 1976 between the USSR and the United States of America. In accordance to this Treaty, its parties were obliged to inform each other of all nuclear explosions intended for non-military purposes. During my military service in the abovementioned organization at the end of the ‘80s, it has come to my knowledge that there was a so-called “emergency nuclear demolition scheme” built into the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York. The actual nuclear demolition scheme was based on huge thermo-nuclear charges (about 150 kiloton in TNT yield) that were positioned about 50 meters below the lowest underground foundations of each of the Towers. It was strange to me by then and, to be honest; it was hard to believe that the US authorities could be as mad as to demolish buildings in the middle of the populated city by underground nuclear explosions. However, as I understood it correctly, nobody was planning to demolish the World Trade Center in reality in such a way. It was merely a means to avoid a certain bureaucratic problem: such an awful nuclear demolition scheme had to be built into the Twin Towers not to get them actually demolished, but to get the permission to build them at all.The problem was, that the then building code of New York (as well as that of Chicago) did not allow the Department of Buildings issuing permissions to build any skyscraper, unless its constructor provides a satisfactory means of demolishing such a building either in the future, or in case of emergency. Since in the late ‘60s (when the Twin Towers were first proposed) this type of steel-framed buildings was a totally new concept, nobody knew how to deal with them in a sense of their demolition. Because traditional (“conventional”) controlled demolition methods were applicable only to old-type buildings, something new must have been invented for the incredibly strong steel Twin Towers that would convince the Department of Buildings to issue the permission for their actual construction. And this solution has indeed been found: the nuclear demolition.
Brief history of atomic and nuclear demolition concept.
The initial idea to use nuclear devices for demolishing various constructions was born almost simultaneously with an appearance of actual nuclear weapons in the beginning of 50s. At first nuclear munitions were not called "nuclear", but "atomic", so a concept of demolition using these munitions was called accordingly - "atomic demolition". These words managed to survive and despite renaming former atomic weapons into "nuclear weapons", words "atomic demolition" could still be encountered today in names of special engineering devices - SADM and MADM. The first one stands for "Special Atomic Demolition Munitions", the second - for "Medium Atomic Demolition Munitions", while many people mistakenly believe that SADM means "Small Atomic Demolition Munitions", rather than "Special".
In fact, there would not be a big mistake to call them "small" instead of "special", because SADM are indeed "small" - their nuclear explosive yields usually does not exceed 1 kiloton in TNT equivalent. Considering that all modern SADM have variable yields that could be set at as low as 0.1 kiloton, and sometimes even at 0.01 kiloton (equivalents to 100 and 10 metric tons of TNT respectively), they deserve to be called "small" munitions. Other popular names for these Small Atomic Demolition Munitions are "mini-nuke" and "suite-case nuke", though the second one is probably not logically correct. In reality most of SADM resemble big pots weighing between 50 to 70 kilograms that could be carried as back-packs - so it is very unlikely that they could fit into any suite-case. However, there are also modern "mini-nukes" made of Plutonium-239, rather than of Uranium-235, and due to a much lower critical mass of Plutonium, their size could be significantly decreased - some latest Plutonium-based "mini-nukes" could indeed fit into an attaché-case. Medium Atomic Demolition Munitions (MADM) are bigger in both - their size and their TNT yield. They could be up to 15 kiloton in TNT yield, weigh up to 200 kg and be as big as a typical large gas-cylinder for home use.
Either of abovementioned atomic demolition munitions could be successfully used in demolishing large objects that could not be demolished by any reasonable amount of conventional explosives - especially in times of emergency, when there is neither time, nor a possibility to prepare their "normal" demolition by conventional means. For example, it could be bridges, dams, tunnels, some reinforced underground structures, large reinforced buildings, etc. However, an efficiency factor for such nuclear demolitions using SADM or MADM is not too high. As it is probably known, the main aim of controlled demolition of buildings by implosion method is not to actually eliminate these buildings by blowing them up and sending their parts flying around, but to bring them down neatly with the least possible damage to surroundings.
For this reason engineers who prepare controlled demolitions have to first figure out exact points on buildings bearing structures and attach charges of conventional explosives to the right spots - in order to break these bearing structures.
In almost all cases there would be more than one spot to attach explosives, since it is unlikely that any of such structures would have only a single supporting girder or a single supporting column that it is to be broken; at best case there would be a few of them, if not many. In the case with an atomic demolition using abovementioned atomic demolition munitions it is not the case.
People who plan to use atomic munitions in case of emergency would have neither time, nor enough education to make such precise calculations as in case of a conventional controlled demolition. What these people could have at the very most - is some basic field-engineering knowledge and some basic knowledge in regard to nuclear weapons usage. Thus, usage of atomic demolition munitions in such case is to bring down a targeted structure not "neatly", but just anyhow and at any cost. That is why an explosive yield of atomic munitions used to demolish such structure in case of emergency in any case would be excessive, with major part of their entire explosive energy spent in vain - as in case with any other nuclear explosion. So, the major part of energy, released by a nuclear explosion of such an atomic demolition device would be spent on creating well-known factors of atomic blast: thermal radiation, air-blast wave, ionizing radiation, electro-magnetic pulse - that have nothing to do with the actual demolition task and could unlikely contribute to it. However, all these destructive factors of an atomic explosion would greatly contribute to damaging of the surroundings - and this damage could be rather extreme, definitely exceeding in its cost, the price-tag of the actual demolition.
It could be said that a nuclear demolition in the abovementioned sense would have much lower performance index compare to a precisely calculated conventional controlled demolition, since the latter one directs almost entire energy of explosives used on breaking bearing structures, rather than on creating an air-blast wave or a thermal radiation. Besides of this, an atomic demolition device itself is quite a costly thing too. At minimum, a Uranium-based "mini-nuke" costs a couple of million US dollars, if not more (a Plutonium-based one costs much more than that). Apparently, a thousand tons of TNT would cost cheaper than a 1 kiloton atomic munitions. However, it is possible to demolish quite a few buildings using 1000 tons of TNT, while it is possible to demolish only one single building (but to damage many other buildings around) using a "mini-nuke". Considering all of this, it could be concluded that it is not an option - to use any atomic demolition munitions, either small, or medium, for demolishing any civil infrastructure in times of peace when there is enough time to prepare demolishing any of such objects nicely by conventional means. And in any case a conventional controlled demolition would be cheaper than a nuclear demolition. Mini-nukes could only be used for demolition job in case of real emergency.
How is it then, that this old atomic demolition concept, despite being known to be too costly and having too low of a performance index comparatively to a conventional controlled demolition by implosion; was eventually revived and even implemented in the World Trade Center nuclear demolition scheme?
It so happens because of a new generation of buildings has come into existence at the end of 60s - namely steel-framed buildings. Despite common misconception, there were no steel-framed skyscrapers ever been demolished by an implosion anywhere in the world prior to the WTC towers. Primarily, because the most of skyscrapers are new buildings and their time to be demolished has not come yet. The tallest building ever demolished by an implosion was only 47-strories high - it was the Singer Building in New York City that was built in 1908 and demolished in 1968 due to its being obsolete. This building was a much weaker structure compare to incredibly strong hollow-tube type steel-frame skyscrapers being built today. So, despite common misconception, it is not possible to demolish a steel-frame building by a commonly known controlled demolition (implosion) scheme. In bygone days when buildings were brick-walled and concrete-panelled, their bearing structures used to be concrete supporting columns and concrete supporting girders. Sometimes these concrete bearing structures were reinforced by insertions of metal bars, but sometimes they were plain concrete. In either case it was possible to calculate right amount of conventional explosives to be attached to these bearing structures at right spots (or to be placed into holes drilled in bearing structures) in order to break them all at once and to cause the building to collapse into its footprint. However, it is no longer possible with modern steel-framed buildings - such as, for example former Twin Towers of the New Your World Trade Center, World Trade Center building # 7, or the Sears Tower in Chicago.
Here is an example of steel structure of the WTC Twin Tower:
There was no any "bearing structure" in its former sense - the entire Tower was essentially a "bearing structure". The WTC steel-frame consisted of exceptionally thick double-walled steel perimeter and core columns. This co-called "tube-frame design" was a totally new approach which allowed open floor plans rather than columns distributed throughout the interior to support building loads as it was traditionally implemented in previous structures. The Twin Towers featured load-bearing perimeter steel columns (square in cross-section) positioned one meter from each other on the Towers' facades to form an exceptionally rigid structure, supporting virtually all lateral loads (such as wind loads) and sharing the gravity load with the core columns. The perimeter structure contained 59 such columns per side. The core structure of the Tower consisted of 47 rectangular steel columns that run from the bedrock to the Towers' tops. How such steel perimeter and core columns looked like could be seen from this picture showing some remnants of these columns as found on the ground zero after the WTC demolition following the September 11 attacks:
Note that these core (rectangular) and perimeter (square) columns did not belong to lower parts of the Twin Towers, but to their upper parts. That is why they were spared by general pulverization the Towers were subjected to during their demolitions, while virtually nothing, except microscopic dust remained of similar columns belonging to the lower parts of the Twin Tower structure.
Here is one more picture (from the NIST report) showing the Twin Towers perimeter columns during their construction:
These steel columns were incredibly thick - each wall measuring 2.5 inch (6.35 cm), so the entire thickness of either of the columns was 5 inch (12.7 cm). To imagine how thick this is, here is a good example to compare with: front armor of the best tank of the WWII period - T-34 - was only 1.8 inch (4.5 cm) and it was single-walled.
Yet there were practically no armor-piercing artillery shell available that time that would be capable of penetrating such front armor. Of course, no explosives whatsoever would ever be able to tear throw such front armor of a tank either (except only a hollow-charge shell which would still not be able to tear a complete piece of such armor, but only to burn some narrow hole through an armor plate). Considering that the Twin Towers' steel frames consisted of double-walled steel columns that were almost trice as thick compare to the T-34 tanks' front amour, it would not be possible to find any solution to break such columns simultaneously in many spots in order to achieve an "implosion" effect - the basic goal of any controlled demolition. It was, of course, technically possible to break some of these columns in certain spots, using exceptionally huge amounts of hollow-charges attached to each individual column, but even such an incredible solution would not help to achieve the desired "implosion effect". The Towers were simply too high and too rigid - their steel cores would have been simultaneously broken in too many spots on every floor, which no one could afford, and even if they could, still, such a solution would not lead to the desired effect - there would not be any guarantee that such a high-raised structure would fall strictly down to its foot print. It might just scatter its debris as far as a quarter of a mile, considering its mere height. So, it was impossible to bring the WTC Towers down by any kind of traditional controlled demolition.
The same thing could be said about the WTC building # 7 and of the Sears Tower in Chicago. Both of them were constructed using similar thick double-walled steel frame that was impossible to break at once due to reasons described above. However, in accordance with the US laws governing construction of skyscrapers buildings designers had to submit some satisfactorily demolition project before their construction project could be approved by the Department of Buildings. No one could be allowed to build a skyscraper that can't be demolished in the future. This is the main point of the skyscrapers' in-built nuclear demolition features. Ironically, such a nuclear demolition scheme of a skyscraper is not meant to actually demolish the respective skyscraper, especially considering that no one has any practical experience in demolishing skyscrapers by such means - it is only intended to convince the Department of Buildings to permit the skyscraper's construction whatsoever. It appears that all designers and proponents of such nuclear demolition schemes sincerely hope that their ideas would not be put to use during their life-time.
How does it work?
First of all, such a modern nuclear demolition has nothing to do with the former atomic demolition using SADM or MADM as described above. It is an entirely new concept. During modern nuclear demolition process, a demolition charge does not produce any atmospheric nuclear explosion - with its trade-mark atomic mushroom cloud, thermal radiation, air-blast wave and electro-magnetic pulse. It explodes quite deep underground - much in the same sense as any nuclear charge explodes during a typical nuclear test. So, it does produce neither any air-blast wave, nor any thermal radiation, nor any penetrating ionizing radiation, nor any electro-magnetic pulse. It could cause only relatively minor harm to surroundings by an ensuing radioactive contamination, which, nonetheless, considered being a negligible factor by designers of such projects.
What is a basic difference between an atmospheric and an underground nuclear explosion? The basic difference is this. During an initial stage of a nuclear (as well as a thermo-nuclear) explosion, its entire explosive energy is being released in a form of a so-called "primary radiation" that in its main part (almost 99%) falls within X-rays spectrum (and remaining part is represented by gamma-rays spectrum that causes radiation injuries and visible spectrum that produces visible flash). So, this almost entire explosive energy represented by X-rays would be spent on heating of surrounding air at tens of meters around a hypocenter of such an explosion. It happens because X-rays can not travel too far, being consumed by surrounding air. Heating of this relatively small area around the nuclear explosion hypocenter would result in appearance of so-called "nuclear fireballs" that physically is nothing else than an extremely overheated air. These nuclear fireballs are responsible for the two main destructive factors of an atmospheric nuclear explosion - its thermal radiation and its air-blast wave, since both factors result exclusively from high temperatures of air around a nuclear explosion. When it comes to an underground nuclear explosion, the picture is entirely different. There is no air around a small "zero-box" a nuclear charge is placed into, so an entire amount of energy instantly released by a nuclear explosion in a form of X-rays would be spent on heating of surrounding rock, instead. It would result in overheating, melting and evaporating of this rock. Disappearance of the evaporated rock would result in creation of an underground cavity, size of which directly depends on an explosive yield of nuclear munitions used. You can have an idea on how much rock could disappear during an underground nuclear explosion from the below table - where quantities of evaporated and melted materials of various kinds (in metric tons) are shown on "per kiloton of yield" basis:
Rock type
Specific mass of vaporized material (in tons per kiloton yield)
Specific mass of the melted material (in tons per kiloton yield)
Dry granite
69
300 (±100)
Moist tuff (18-20% of water)
72
500 (± 150)
Dry tuff
73
200 - 300
Alluvium
107
650 (±50)
Rock salt
150
800
Just as an example: detonation of a 150 kiloton thermo-nuclear charge buried sufficiently deep in granite rock would result in creation of a cavity measuring roughly 100 meters in diameter - such as the one shown in this picture:
All skyscrapers have their lowest foundations lying 20-30 meters beneath the Earth surface. So, it is possible to calculate a position of a "zero-box" under such a skyscraper in such a way that a nuclear explosion would produce a cavity upper end of which would not reach the Earth surface, but would reach only the lowest underground foundation of a skyscraper it intends to demolish.
For example, in particular cases of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, their lowest underground foundations were 27 meters beneath the surface. While the 150 kiloton thermo-nuclear demolition charges were positioned as depths of 77 meters (measuring from the surface), or 50 meters below their underground foundations. Such a thermo-nuclear explosion at a depth of 77 m would create an extremely overheated cavity with its upper sphere touching the lowest underground foundations of the Twin Tower it intends to demolish. But it would still be short of reaching the Earth surface by 27 meters - so surrounding structures would not to be affected by any destructive factors of this underground nuclear explosion (except by, possibly, only its radioactive contamination). The Tower that is to be demolished supposes to lose its foundations completely, and to be sucked-in into this overheated cavity, temperatures inside of which are deemed enough to melt the entire Tower. Nuclear demolition schemes of the WTC building # 7 and that of the Sears Tower in Chicago were calculated in the same way.
However, there is one more factor that is to be taken into consideration during calculation of nuclear demolition projects of skyscrapers. This is about the actual evaporated granite rock inside the cavity. Where all that former granite rock now in gaseous state supposes to go from the cavity? In fact, a picture of the physical events after an underground nuclear explosion is quite interesting. Let's consider it.
This pictorial rendition schematically represents all important physical processes during an ideally deep (means occurred sufficiently far from the Earth surface) underground nuclear explosion. So, now it should become clear that an extreme pressure of the evaporated rock inside the cavity makes at least two important jobs: 1) it expands the actual cavity from its "primary" size to its "secondary" size; and 2) because it does this expansion at the expense of the neighboring areas of the rock, it produces two damaged zones around itself, each representing a different degree of damage.
A zone immediately adjacent to the cavity in nuclear jargon is called a "crushed zone". This zone could be as thick as a diameter of the cavity itself and it is filled with a very strange matter. It is filled with rock that is completely pulverized. It is reduced into a fine microscopic dust, an approximate particle of which is about 100 micron in size. Moreover, this particular state of material within this "crushed zone" is in a very strange state - except for after an underground nuclear test it does not occurs anywhere else in nature.
If you pick up a stone from this zone, but do so very gently, it might still stick together and still resemble a stone by its form and its color. However, it you only slightly press this "stone" with your fingers it will immediately crush into that complete microscopic dust it actually consists of. A second zone - next to the "crushed zone" is called a "damaged zone" in professional nuclear jargon. This "damaged zone" is filled with rock crushed to various pieces - from very small (millimeters in size), to some relatively big fragments. As closer to a border of the "crushed zone", as smaller will be such debris, and as farther from hypocenter - as larger will be such debris. Finally, outside of the "damaged zone" border, there would be virtually no damage inflicted to surrounding rock.
However, we have considered above the physical processes which are true to an "ideally deep" underground nuclear blast. When a nuclear charge is buried not sufficiently deep, a picture will be slightly different. "Damaged" and "crushed" zones will not be exactly round in the latter case. They would be rather elliptic - with their longer ends directed upwards - comparable with an egg facing upwards with its sharper end, or possibly even more ellipsoidal and sharper upwards than a typical egg. It happens because the pressure of the evaporated gases would encounter the least resistance towards the Earth surface (since it is too near), so either "crushed zone" or "damaged zone" would extend upwards further protruding out than any other direction.
The drawing is an illustration of the resistance of the surrounding rock when a cavity is located not very deep below the earth’s surface. Evidently, the resistance of the rock towards the earth’s surface will be much less than towards any other direction. Because everything goes by the way of least resistance, understandably so then, the cavity will be expanded mostly towards the earth’s surface and would never be ideally round. It will always be ellipsoidal in shape.
When the pressure propagates upwards upper boundaries of the "damaged zone" and "crushed zone" encounter underground foundations of the Tower which is to be demolished, the picture would be even more different. It is because materials the Tower is built of differ from surrounding granite rock in a sense of resistance of materials. Besides, there is a lot of empty space inside the Tower, while the remaining granite rock towards the rest of directions (to either sides and downwards) is solid. So, expansion of the upper boundaries of "damaged" and "crushed" zones by the Tower's structure will be the farthest. In case of the WTC Twin Towers or the Sears Tower the "damaged zone" could likely reach up to 350-370 meters, while "crushed zone" that follows immediately, would likely reach up to 290-310 meters. But in case of the much shorter WTC-7 its entire length will be within the "crushed zone" - so it would be pulverized completely. This ability of nuclear demolition to pulverize steel and concrete alike is one of its unique features.
The picture above shows an example of that fine microscopic dust that covered all over Manhattan after the WTC demolition. Many people mistakenly believed that it was allegedly "concrete dust". No, it was not. It was "complete" dust – but mainly pulverized steel. Despite common misconception, the WTC structures did not contain much concrete. Concrete was used only in some limited quantities to make very thin floors slabs in the Twin Towers construction. It was not used anywhere else. The major part of the WTC Twin Towers was steel, not concrete. So this finest dust was in its major part represented by steel dust accordingly. Though, it was not only "steel dust" alone - it was also a "furniture dust", "wood dust", "paper dust", "carpet dust", "computer parts dust" and even "human dust", since remaining in the Towers human beings were pulverized in the same manner as steel, concrete and furniture.
Some people might wonder - why the WTC-7 collapsed to its footprint very neatly, in its entirety, while either of the Twin Towers crushed down scattering not only dust, but even some debris to quite large distances. This question is very easy to answer - you have to look at the distribution of "crushed" and "damaged" zones along the Twin Towers structures and the answer will become obvious.
The picture above represents an approximate distribution of damage zones in the scenario of a nuclear demolition of a skyscraper using a 150 kiloton thermo-nuclear charge positioned 50 meters deeper than the lowest underground foundations of a skyscraper. Don't forget, that demolition charges in this particular case were buried not "ideally deep", that is why forms of the "crushed" and "damaged" zones were not "ideally round" either - they were elliptic, with their sharper ends facing upwards - towards areas of the least resistance. It is easy to understand that the entire length of the WTC-7 fit into the “crushed zone” alone and so there were no any undamaged part on top of it that might cause an effect of falling tops as shown in the Twin Towers’ collapse.
This particular distribution of damages along the skyscrapers structures inflicted by such a process could be better understood when you watch videos showing details of collapses of the WTC Twin Towers and the WTC-7. These contemporary videos are widely available on YouTube.
The North Tower just began to collapse a moment ago.
These two pictures show the North Towers collapse (which collapsed the 2nd). It is clearly seen that the Tower was reduced to fine fluffy dust. In the down right corner it is clearly visible that the WTC-7 (glassy shining nice brownish building) was not damaged at all. On the right picture the WTC-7 appears to be a little bit “shorter” than on the left one, but this was not because WTC-7 was “collapsing” in any way, but only because the helicopter with the photographer was on the move and the second picture has been taken from slightly different angle and with the photographer himself being at that moment slightly farther from the WTC spot. The WTC-7 did not collapsed in reality until 7 hours later.
It should be added also that despite an apparent insufficiency of 150 kiloton thermo-nuclear charges to pulverize the tallest skyscrapers in their entirety (as shown in the above sample where the Twin Towers were pulverized to only about 80% of their entire lengths, leaving the very tops heavy and intact), nuclear charges of higher yields could not be used in nuclear demolition industry due to merely legal reasons. The problem is that in accordance with the USA - Soviet so-called " Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty of 1976" yield of nuclear munitions used for non-military purposes was limited to 150 kiloton /per individual nuclear explosion and to maximum of 1.5 megaton aggregate yield for group explosions.
So, the nuclear demolition industry has to fit into these legal frames: in case of the WTC demolition it was possible to use as many charges as necessary, but not in excess of 150 kiloton per charge. That is why the WTC nuclear demolition scheme consisted of three of such charges - with aggregate yield of 450 kiloton. For those people who have difficulty to imagine how powerful 150 kiloton is, it could be reminded that an atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima in 1945 was less than 20 kiloton.
The “planes”.
Now as I presume the reader has already understood how strong were the Twin Towers that it was not even possible to bring them down by any conventional demolition, but only by huge underground thermo-nuclear explosions, it would be interesting to consider another question – if the aluminum-made passenger planes would be able to penetrate these Twin Towers as it was shown to us in the TV.
This is the second terrorist “plane” which is about to penetrate thick double-walled steel perimeter and to completely disappear into the South Tower.
First of all, to make this understanding easier, let’s briefly come back to the point I started this article with: since the Twin Towers collapsed not because of “kerosene”, but because of huge underground thermo-nuclear explosions, moreover, they collapsed in the “wrong order”, and, in addition to that, the WTC-7 that was not hit by any “terrorist plane” also collapsed, we could presume that the planes were not actually needed. They were redundant, because they have no contribution whatsoever to the actual collapse of the World Trade Center. Since the planes were redundant it would be safe to presume that the 9/11 perpetration could have been performed even without any planes involved – the Twin Towers and the WTC-7 had to go, because someone had decided so and it had nothing to do with any “planes”. Therefore many reasonable 9/11 researchers began to question the allegation of the US Government that there were “planes” allegedly striking the Twin Towers. Many researches exist now on the Internet (especially famous video presentations “September 11 clues” and “FOXED OUT” available on YouTube) that include analyzing of various contemporary 9/11 footage showing the “planes” and proving in the most satisfactory manner that the “planes” were merely digital. However, the author of these lines prefers a different approach. Instead of analyzing various inconsistencies of the said 9/11 videos, which many people might doubt, the author of these lines prefers to go straight to the self-evident point: aluminum can not penetrate steel. Period. To believe that two aluminum Boeing 767 were indeed able to penetrate those thick double-walled perimeter columns as shown in the above picture is the same as to believe that the laws of physics suddenly decided to take holiday on the 11th day of September, 2001, AD.
Some people, understandably, could ask this question: since the planes, even though aluminum-made, were flying at almost 500 mph, due to their tremendous mass and speed they had enough kinetic energy to penetrate the Twin Towers even if the Twin Towers were made of steel. This is the wrong approach, however. Yes, intuitively, it seems that a large fast moving aircraft represents a lot of energy, and one would think it reasonable for an aircraft to do a lot of damage to a building on impact. But what do you think would happen - hypothetically - if the aircraft were stationary in the air, and someone picked up one of the enormously massive WTC Tower, swung it violently, and hit the aircraft at an impact speed of 500 mph ? Would it flatten the aircraft do you think, or would the aircraft go clean through the moving building without even the slightest part of the aircraft remaining outside of the outer skin of the Tower (that was twice as thick as the front armor of a tank)? Have a think about the above hypothetical question, because whether the aircraft was hitting a stationary Tower, or the Tower hitting a stationary aircraft, the physics of the situation is identical. The intuitive response to the damage from a “fast moving aircraft” may not be quite so intuitive.
Many people who at first did not pay any close attention to the actual Twin Towers’ construction and thought first that outer façades of the Twin Towers were simply made from huge glass panes alone (which would, understandably, allow planes to break in) later, to their utter dismay, found out that the Twin Towers in reality were made of some thick steel columns – not different from its steel core columns and such densely positioned steel columns indeed constituted their outer perimeters. Once this becomes clear, it becomes also clear that no plane would ever be able to crash in its entirety (including even ends of its wings and tail, not to say of its large turbofan engines beneath its wings) through such densely positioned thick steel perimeter columns and to completely disappear inside the Towers without even the slightest part falling back to the street.
Some elder people could probably remember what was the effect of hitting American main-battle ships and aircraft-carriers by Japanese kamikaze-planes if such a plane hits a ship into its board: the plane was just broken apart (without penetrating the ship’s board) and simply fell down. In case of a non-armored ship – a maximum of what could really penetrate into the ship was a steel motor, but never any other part of a plane – such as its wings, tail or its fuselage.

Based on this premise, one could make his own estimation looking at the pictures of the core columns below:
Above: profiles of remaining core WTC columns found at “Ground Zero”; their comparative thickness could be easily estimated; actually they feature walls 2.5 inch thick; such thick columns made of steel constituted both – the cores and the entire perimeters of the Twin Towers.
In this official sketch you can see how these thick core structures have been positioned in reality – not only in the Towers’ middles, as believed by many people, but also on their entire perimeters.
Does anyone seriously believe that the aluminum-made “Boeing” could really break in its entirety (including its tail, wings and large turbofan engines) through the above-shown steel perimeter columns? Placed only one meter apart of each other? Actually, it might be a little difficult to comprehend that it is impossible for an aluminum item to penetrate steel; so, exclusively for this reason here is some hint – as a basic premise. It is well-known that an armor-piercing artillery shell is made of materials stronger than an actual armor which it is intended to penetrate. Normally, armor-piercing shells are made of Wolfram (Americans also produce armor-piercing shells which contain, instead of very expensive Wolfram, Uranium-238, which is otherwise useless material, yet capable to penetrate armor due to it being much heavier than actual steel).
Armor-piercing shells made of aluminum apparently do not exist – it is self-evident truth. Neither exist aluminum swords, nor do any other cutting / piercing tools made of this metal. The mere notion that an aluminum item might cut steel sounds a little bit “strange”, not to say crazy. It shall be also noted that armor-piercing shells fired against tanks or other armored items, travel to their targets with a speed at least trice as much as a speed of sound – because even though they are made of Wolfram, this fact alone is not enough to achieve steel-piercing capability – some very high speed is the second required factor. Speed of a typical armor-piercing shell fired from anti-tank cannon is actually over triple sound-speed – it is at least 1000 meters per second, and normally even faster than this, while a maximum cruise speed of whatever passenger Boeing is subsonic – less than 250 m/sec in the best case. It is good to look at these columns again. And imagine that their thick double walls are comparable with some armor used to make tanks. To penetrate such a column alone would be a challenge for an armor-piercing shell fired from a long-barreled anti-tank cannon at point-blank range. In fact, this concept of “double-walls” is applicable only to the case of an armor-piercing shell because it faces a task of penetrating only two walls perpendicular to its way. However, an aluminum plane faces a bigger task – it addition to the two walls perpendicular to its way, it has to cut two more walls – that are parallel to its way, because each of such tubes has actually 4 walls, not just two. And these two parallel to its way columns would evidently have much greater “thickness”… Now, I guess, it would be a little bit easier to contemplate over those alleged armor-piercing capabilities of the aluminum “Boeings 767” – after comparing such with an artillery armor-piercing shell. Why the “9/11 Commission” or those “engineers” from the above mentioned NIST did not want then to try to make some penetrating experiment with some written-off passenger “Boeing 767” and with several of those columns? That kind of experiment would be a really good thing to prove to the doubtful guys that it were really the “terrorist planes” that did demolish the World Trade Center… This particular realization led many people to a belief that since aluminum kind of planes apparently could not be involved in such a feat, and then only the “digital” kind of planes could really break through those dense double-walled steel perimeters of the now defunct Twin Towers…
Detailed view of the damage inflicted by the alleged passenger “Boeing-767” to the WTC North Tower’s steel perimeter columns.
It could be clearly observed that perimeter bars were all cut by a few ridiculously straight lines, moreover parallel to each other, so a shape of the alleged “impact hole” does not match a silhouette of a plane even remotely. Actually, explanation to this ridiculous phenomenon is quite simple. As you can see from this picture the Twin’s perimeters were made not from steel columns alone. There was also additional aluminum coating fixed on outer sides of the steel perimeter columns. And, unlike the steel columns (which were more or less solid from bedrock up to the Tower’s tops), the aluminum coating was arranged in much shorter vertical segments. If you look at the above picture’s detail carefully you will notice certain horizontal lines parallel to each other repeating on equal intervals – that are slightly visible on undamaged parts of the Tower’s façade. These lines that are nothing else than joining points of the aluminum coating pieces show what was an actual length of each piece of the aluminum coating. The problem of 9/11 perpetrators was that they needed to position their hollow-shaped charges of conventional explosives (that were designed to imitate the impact holes – the planes’ silhouettes) not inside the Tower, but OUTSIDE the Tower – because their explosive energy should have been directed inwards to make the entire set up look plausible. If they would position these charges inside the Tower, then the entire section of the Tower that supposed to be “hit by a plane” would not fell inside the Tower as it suppose to be. It would be blown out of the Tower and, instead of the “landing gear” and the “plane’s engine” simpletons would find on a sidewalk pieces of the Tower’s own perimeters.
Apparently, it was not an option. To attach the cutting charges outside the Twin Tower’s facades was not an option either – they would be visible by people. Therefore, the tricky 9/11 perpetrators placed their hollow-shaped charges in between the outer aluminum coating and the actual perimeter steel columns. The explosive energy of the charges was directed inwards – in order to precisely cut the steel bars in right spots. And, indeed, it worked – as you could see the inner steel bars (that appear to be of “rusty” color as opposed to the bluish-shining aluminum coating) were indeed cut in the right spots to imitate the complete planes silhouettes precisely. Moreover, cut ends of these steel bars additionally bend inwards – exactly as supposed to be. However, the 9/11 perpetrators miscalculated something. Even though most of the explosive energy of the hollow-shaped charges was directed inwards – towards the steel, some relatively minor part of the explosive energy was directed backwards – creating a kind of recoil effect. This managed to blow out the aluminum coating. However, instead of actually “cutting” this aluminum coating, the unruly explosion simply tore out the entire pieces of aluminum at their full lengths and threw them back to the sidewalks. Therefore, depending of vertical disposition of the hollow-shaped charges in some parts it was single vertical length of aluminum bars torn out, in some other places – double vertical length, in some other parts – triple vertical length, etc. Therefore these “impact holes” look so ridiculously stupid – being a kind of a “stepped” shape, instead of a perfect silhouette of a “plane” as supposed to be if there were only steel bars alone.
Besides of all, on this photo a woman could be clearly seen, desperately holding to one of the sticking up columns; she was recognized as Mrs. Edna Cintron, who was still hoping to get rescued at that last moment; unfortunately, she was killed in the North Tower collapse; but in that last moment of her life she demonstrated to the world (by her mere presence at that supposedly “hot” spot where steel columns supposed “to melt”) that the US Government was cheating the people.
Actually, many innocent people who read this might ask this reasonable question: but what about eye-witnesses who saw the “planes”? The answer is this: the number of eye-witnesses who DID NOT SEE ANY PLANES is about equal to the number of the “eye-witnesses” who allegedly “saw” the “planes”. But the mass media preferred to include into their aired footage mostly those “eye-witnesses” who claimed to see the “planes”. The entire 9/11 production was a grand deception. If someone managed to produce falsified images of the “planes” cutting into the steel perimeters of the Twin Towers with the same ease as if the planes were made from steel but the Towers were made from butter, and managed to feed this footage to all mass media outlets, would it be reasonable to presume that he would also prepare in advance a sufficient number of bogus “eye-witnesses” who would claim that they “saw” the “planes”? Of course, we have to presume so. All those “eye-witnesses” who allegedly “saw” how aluminum planes penetrated those steel double-walled perimeters of the Twin Towers were merely actors hired by the 9/11 perpetrators to lie to the mass media and to the public. The laws of physics have never taken holiday on 9/11. But the common sense of gullible people watching the TV appeared to have taken that holiday instead…
Nonetheless, the old English dictionaries printed before September 11 that define the strange nuclear term “ground zero” could serve as the best medicine to overcome the 9/11 illusion and to regain your common sense…
Along with the old English dictionaries for the same reason could also be used these photographs showing molten rock after the underground cavities left by the nuclear explosions under the three buildings of the World Trade Center eventually cooled down and were, at last, cleared of all remaining radioactive materials:

Perhaps, without an obligatory formal witness’s testimony the 9/11 picture drawn by me in this article would not be complete. Perhaps at least one testimony of a witness is indeed required. There are many of such testimonies available, but I selected the best and the most convincing one.
There is one remarkable article titled “Rudy Tuesday” published by The New York Magazine online[4]. This article is not only remarkable because the term ground zero in relation to Manhattan’s “Ground Zero” used in it “as is” – i.e. without any quotation marks and without any capitalization – as if it would in any civil defense manual, but because of the actual statement of the former Mayor of New York Rudolph Giuliani.
I think it is such a masterpiece of the important 9/11 evidence and such an important witness’ testimony from the point of view of psychology, that I have to quote here the entire part of the article “as is”, without modifying anything.
The important things that should not miss your attention, however, are made in bold by me. Make sure to notice that in the aftermath of the unprecedented WTC kerosene-pancake collapse the Mayor of New York for no apparent reason “went nuclear” and began his speech with silly comments about nuclear reactors and continued it with his claims that he KNEW on top of WHAT the ground zero workers (whom he sent to clean ground zero without issuing them lunar-looking haz-mat suits) were actually standing:
“Right, 9/11. Out in the dining room, after the salads are served, Delaware congressman Mike Castle takes the microphone. He talks about Rudy and the squeegee men. BlackBerrys continue scrolling. But then Castle tells of the ground-zero tour the mayor gave him and other congressmen in the days after the terror attacks. People start to pay attention. “He attended most of the funerals; he was there in every way possible,” says Castle. “I don’t think we can ever thank him enough for what he did.” Now Rudy strides to the podium. The room rises. Suits at the cheap tables stand and a banker type sticks his fingers in his mouth and gives a loud whistle. Initially, Giuliani squanders the goodwill. A bit on immigration lands with a thud. He notes that China has built more than 30 nuclear reactors since we last built one. “Maybe we should copy China.” What? You can see the thought bubbles forming over people’s heads: Can this be the same guy we saw on television? The guy who was so presidential when our actual president was MIA? But then Rudy finds his comfort zone. Along with McCain and Mitt Romney, his best-known fellow Republican presidential contenders, Giuliani is out on the thin, saggy pro-surge limb with the president. But Rudy can spin the issue in a way McCain and Romney, not to mention Hillary and Barack Obama, cannot. And now he does just that: Iraq leads to 9/11, which leads to the sacred image of construction workers raising the flag over ground zero. “I knew what they were standing on top of,” Giuliani says. “They were standing on top of a cauldron. They were standing on top of fires 2,000 degrees that raged for a hundred days. And they put their lives at risk raising that flag.” The room is silent. Not a fork hits a plate, not one gold bracelet rattles. “They put the flag up to say, ‘You can’t beat us, because we’re Americans.’ "The mayor pauses and, as if on cue, an old woman sniffles. He continues. “And we don’t say this with arrogance or in a militaristic way, but in a spiritual way: Our ideas are better than yours.””
I am not quite sure, of course, if “their ideas” are indeed “better than ours” because I don’t think that it was a good idea at all – to demolish the skyscrapers in the middle of the populated city by thermonuclear explosions each 8 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, but in principle I agree with Mr. Giuliani. The poor ground zero responders were indeed standing on top of a cauldron and they indeed put their lives at risk – as you may sincerely expect to be the case when gullible people visit a place of a recent nuclear explosion without wearing any protective gear.
From now on, I believe, the reader has more or less a complete picture of events – what exactly happened at Manhattan’s “Ground Zero” and what the term “ground zero” used to mean in the pre-9/11 English language, and this is even supported by an important witness’ testimony.
I guess that many readers, of course, will have a lot of questions – what hit the Pentagon? If the planes did not hit the Twin Towers where did the actual planes disappear to? What happened with their passengers? What happened with the alleged “hijackers”? What happened with Flight 93? Why the Doomsday Plane was seen flying on 9/11? Why it was not possible to collapse the South Tower before the North Tower? Why the US officials demolished the Twins and the WTC-7 whatsoever? Why there were not so many cases of acute radiation sickness among the ground zero responders, but rather cases of chronic radiation sickness? Who sent the anthrax letters and why? Why the controlling services of other countries – for example, those of Russia, India and China – preferred “not to notice” that the US Government demolished the World Trade Center by three 150 kiloton thermonuclear explosions and as such this action has anything to do neither with Afghanistan, nor with Iraq? Why IAEA was silent? And, at last, who organized 9/11 and why?
As you can probably imagine, 9/11 was such a complicated operation and its separate aspects are so much intertwined that it is simply impossible to describe the entire 9/11 affair “in brief” while devoting to each of its aspects a little attention. I have absolutely no chance to fit any more or less satisfactory explanation of the entire 9/11 scenario into such a limited room as offered by this article.
In September 2009 I produced a more or less comprehensive video-presentation that lasts well over 4 hours and explains quite a lot about 9/11 in its entirety. This video could be found on the Internet by searching for “Dimitri Khalezov video”. Besides, I wrote a book that comprises of well over 500 pages in A4 format. This is just to illustrate that it is really impossible - to explain in a comprehensible manner what really happened on 9/11 in its entirety in such a limited article. Perhaps, only to explain technicalities of the 9/11 missile attack against the Pentagon and about all circumstances surrounding this attack would require about the same size of the article. But, hopefully, this story could be continued here. Therefore, from all the potential questions that are mentioned in the above paragraph I could only answer the last one: the 9/11 perpetration was organized by those who wanted to drive the United States along with other countries into ridiculous wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and who wanted to deprive citizens of these countries of their last remaining civil liberties and human rights. It should be understood that no Al-Qaeda and no any other Muslim organization could afford to feed falsified “planes” footages to the US mass-media, to hire witnesses who “saw” how aluminum planes penetrate steel and to simultaneously demolish the World Trade Center by three 150 kiloton underground thermo-nuclear explosions each of the three being 8 times as powerful as the first atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

The most shocking interview about alleged WMD- and 9/11 connections of so-called “Lord of War” and so-called “Merchant of Death” Victor Bout (who is a personal friend of Dimitri Khalezov): http://www.mathaba.net/news/?x=625029
Mr. Dimitri A. Khalezov, a former Soviet citizen, a former commissioned officer of the so-called “military unit 46179”, otherwise known as “the Special Control Service” of the 12th Chief Directorate of the Defense Ministry of the USSR. The Special Control Service, also known as the Soviet atomic (later “nuclear”) intelligence was a secret military unit responsible for detecting of nuclear explosions (including underground nuclear tests) of various adversaries of the former USSR as well as responsible for controlling of observance of various international treaties related to nuclear testing and to peaceful nuclear explosions. After September the 11th Khalezov undertook some extensive 9/11 research and proved that the Twin Towers of World Trade Center as well as its building 7 were demolished by three underground thermo-nuclear explosions – which earned the very name “ground zero” to the demolition site. Moreover, he testifies that he knew about the in-built so-called “emergency nuclear demolitions scheme” of the Twin Towers as long ago as back in the ‘80s – while being a serviceman in the Soviet Special Control Service.
