Jim Fetzer Condemns All Structural Engineers to Hell!

lyI would like to move on to another subject, but this guy is really ticking me off, and every time I listed to something he says I just find one idiotic statement after another. Now Fetzer is getting into one of the key rules of conspiracy theories, if experts disagree with you, there must be some ominous reason. From an interview with fellow "scholar" Judy Wood, at the 40:50 mark of the second hour:

I am disgusted, disgusted with the structural engineers who know the truth about this and are keeping their mouth shut. There’s a special place in HELL, reserved for them. And they are going to deserve it.

Yeah, that is the obvious answer, it is not that you are a blithering idiot who doesn't know what you are talking about, it is that every single structural engineer in the world is a coward. The ironic thing is the "scholars" claim to be a bunch of experts, including some mysterious structural engineers that they cannot produce.

Only 30 seconds later, Fetzer shows why no structural engineer agrees with him:

Steve Jones who has done a tremendous amount of study about the physical possible alternative about the physical explanation of the collapse believes that a very powerful explosion known as thermite was used, and a sulfer enhanced version known as thermate was used, in that in order to bring about the pulverization of the concrete, the office furniture and all that. It may very well have been in a nano-technology enhanced version called super-thermate. That this could account for the phenomena that were observed here and explain all the evidence we have available about the collapse.

Fetzer calls thermite an "very powerful explosion" (I listened to it 5 times to make sure), by which I assume he meant to say "explosive". Either way he is an idiot. Thermite is not an explosive much less a "very powerful" one. It is a mixture of aluminum and iron oxide that when ignited produces tremendous heat, it does not explode. It is not used an an explosive, but an incindiary for welding or military grenades. The stupid thing about him saying this, is if he would have paid attention to "Scholar" co-founder Jones, Jones explains this at length. And he wonders why no structural engineer takes him seriously!

He then continues with lies about how they could have got this into the WTC, which we have covered here before from Loose Change:

And that during the two weeks, before or prior to 9/11 there were abnormal security lapses in the twin towers. Major sections of the buildings were closed down. The employees were sent home. The security apparatus was shut off. And teams, being described as engineers, were sent in an out of the buildings to have free access to all parts of the building ostensibly to do recabling in the building but it had never happened before. And Steve estimates that as few as 10 men, uhh 40 men, making 4 trips apiece could have planted enough thermate to bring about the explosions that we observed in all of those effects.

This is a mixture of two conflicting stories. One from Ben Fountain, who said there were unusual emergency evacuations, and Scott Forbes who said part of the weekend before 9/11 the power for part of one of the towers was shut down for work (but there were no unusual evacuations). Nobody was sent home, Forbes actually talks about being there while some of the work was going on, and the security was not shut down. Of course with Fetzer this magically morphs into engineers had free access to the "buildings"

You know, that's the same arguments I was making here for the longest. But it all doesn't matter, either by design or by preponderance of the evidence, the 9/11 house of cards if beginning to crumble.

Remember how I said the entire premise that 9/11 was pulled off by "Al Qaeda" is the Achilles heel of the official version, this site and various other "debunking sites? Well, this just in today. We find "Al Qaeda" isn't as all reaching as once told by the Government, exactly as I had pointed out various times. By the facts slowly making themselves known, it will be only a matter of time until the entire government 9/11 house of cards begins to crumble.


The Myth of Al Qaeda

The truth is not possible to discern based on the evidence at hand

How postmodern. It certainly is obvious for anyone with eyes to see. All the evidence supports the "offical story" and none supports any of the various theories, don't you understand Occam's Razor?


And nesnyc, if there's 500 or 1000 members on 9/11 (I've read about 3000, but I digress), what does that matter? It took 19 to physically commit the attacks on 9/11.

Did you even read the article?!?! No where in there does it say Al Qaeda is a "myth" just that some of the members are hyped up more than what they really are. Not really news IMO. The article clearly states that Al Qaeda does exist. It even talks about those pesky jihadists that you don't believe exist. So what is, now that you have your article, do you now except the fact that Al Qaeda is real and that terrorists do exist or are they all CIA. Something tells me your going to go the CIA route, if thats true your "truth" movement hasn't gotten any further along. Just your ignorance.

That's not what the article says. It says the US gov "intelligence" via torture on "Al Qaeda" that was later proved to be false. Just like the 9/11 "Mastermind" and "Moneyman" all the "evidence" was obtained through torture. The only think linking "Al Qaeda" to 9/11 now is the phony video tape of the fat Osama "confessing." Basically, the "Al Qaeda" story is a load of stinking bullshit!

The clear truth, applying Occam's razor as you've bastardized it

Well besides your analogy being terrible, I didn't bastardize anything. With all the evidence we have, the only logical conclusion is the "official" story. You have to make huge jumps to believe (yes, believe, it's based on faith) anything else. It's so weird that whenever a logical thought interferes with your worldview it's suddenly "bastardized" or wrong.

Postmodernist? God you should really ask whatever school you went to for a refund.

Pretending you can't find the truth here is a fucking postmodern idea (I know you think there's no enough evidence, but there is, that's why it's postmodern).
I'm an autodidact besides. I think it's hilarious that someone who can't support his points and says actual historical events were made up is insulting me.

The "fatness" has been debunked you dolt. You watch a terrible resolution video and assume he looks totally different. God, you won't let go of anything, no matter how wrong it is.

Also, your points in that article are moot. It doesn't say al-Qaeda is fake. It says that al-Qaeda did commit the 9/11 attacks. Do you even read what you link?!

Osama was a CIA asset. Most likely, he helped with the opium trade and most likely had very limited involvement with the Mujahadin during the Soviet/Afghan wars. "Al Qaeda" doesn't surface until '98 or so we're told and it officially is given it's name during the Kenya bombing trails in NYC.

See this when you get the time and tell me this group really exists:

The MSNBC story, IMO, is setting people up to expect the next step in this story. First they disproved "Al Qaeda" reach in Iraq. Next step will be to discount them all together like the BBC video above does.

For your information high speed I served in the Army and fought in Iraq so I'm well aware of all of that because it DIRECTLY effected me. Even after fighting in Iraq I don't think that our Government is totally evil, I also don't buy into this CT crap. You get my drift buddy? If anyone wanted to know the truth it would be me and after searching for the truth I found out real quick that there was no vast conspiracy. I am an American and a true patriot. As much as I don't like you I would still put my life on the line to protect your right to be a total moron. That's what being an American is about. Get a clue buddy...

I find it funny that CTs says the media is controlled by the government..

And Nesync here uses one to push a claim.


I also say their only giving half of the story. One of the requirements to the destruction of the United States is the erosion of confidence in the system as it presently stands. The exposure of 9/11 scam would be a perfect opportunity to have a second physiological attack on the US and effect this erosion. That and a conjunction of the collapse of the monetary system of the collapse of the monetary system blamed on the erosion fits the "plan" quite nicely.

 
At 29 June, 2006 20:02, Blogger shawn said...

Ok so the 9/11 was committed by the NWO in order to then reveal the plan so that people would want to dismantle the United States?

As much as I loathe the UN (or any attempt at an international governing body), that's just ludicrous. It has no basis in reality.

Joan, are you totally loony?

You bring up that anti-semitic hit piece "Israel Lobby" paper and then talk about Rachel Corrie. She was a member of the terrorist-enabling ISM. She didn't move from a gun-running tunnel and died. It's her own fault she died, people need to take responsibility for their actions. At least make good points when criticizing Israel.

Next joan's gonna quote Juan Cole on Israel to buttress her points.

How many WMD did you find? You will come around eventually. Remember, you were in an area where vast quantities of depleted uranium were introduced into the environment (a real WMD). You may not feel it now, but the effects will kick in.

It's going to happen weather you like it or not. It's just a matter of how.

Here we have Bush getting ready to give amnesty to millions and creating a Pan American Union. How do you think they are going to achieve this unless it is proved the government is so corrupt, it has to be integrated into a world global system?

Either by war or panic, the above is the desired effect of the globalists who hate America. They have successfully sent our jobs overseas, taken away our manufacturing base and are now in process of taking away our hi-tech sector. What is the purpose of all the above? The next step will be to bankrupt us and create social upheavals so horrible, we will cry out for a global "tyrannical" government to save us!

"We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent."

Besides the ones that were already on the books, none. How many people did I help by giving them food and supplies, many. How many kids did I keep from blowing themselves up playing with 20+ year old RUSSIAN ammo, many many children. I went out and did a good thing and helped a lot of people. I don't pretend that the US government is perfect. I disagree a great deal with tons of the current administrations policies. Do you see the point I'm trying to make? If a moderate free thinker such as myself who

-holds no allegance to the current administration

-Lost friends on 9/11

-Participated in the GWOT

can still see past the the CT, what does that say about its credibility? No one wants the truth more than me and I found it. Don't know what you guys are waiting for...

What have you done with your life buddy? Your in a delusional state, you think your a patriot and a seeker of truth but in reality, sir, you are a coward. Maybe one day you will come around.

Do you understand it was YOUR government sponsored sanction that had the people living like this?

And thank for sharing the truth about WMD. As we all know now, that story was nothing but lies. Just like the "Al Qaeda" lies. Just like the "War on Terror" lies.

The government itself is not evil. It is the people that have hijacked it that are evil.

If I turned around just one person from believing in lies than I have done enough. However, I have convinced many to see just past the government deceptions you think are truths. If that is delusional, then I'll plead guilty.

So you disagree with a lot of what the government is doing. That's a start. You just need to dig a little more as to what is happening is indeed happening. Don't close yourself to one reality.

CHF,

For what it's worth, I'm the caller (Bill from Texas) on today's show. I'm trying to ask Fetzer to reconsider being "in your face".

I just can't see how he can be helping the cause with being so sloppy and emotional.

joan,

I think we both have the same basic understanding of the possible deceptions related to 9/11, and want justice through a true investigation.

I don't mean to be arguing with you.

However, in the case of talking about 9/11, I don't think it's fair to go with the adage "any publicity" (or specifically TV air time )coincides with success in getting the larger public to look into 9/11 questions. If fact, when Alex Jones, and Jim Fetzer become emotional or misstate their case, or talk about unsupported claims, I think it's fair to say that they manage to discredit the rest of GSS'ers.

Based on what I can tell, given the power what we might have called the "Establishment" in the 60's, "9/11 Truth" seems to me to have it's fate sealed as a fringe group that probably reached it's peak of gaining credibility with Griffin's speech from Wisconsin being rebroadcast on C-SPAN.

The only way I could even see a breakthru happenning would be if forums like this blog could win over larger numbers of internet-based knowledge seekers.

And look how well that is going.

Joan, understand this - there is a difference between lying and acting on information you believe to be true. I don't call all of you liars when you say blatantly false things, because you think they're true.

More importantly, Saddam's regime has a history of not trusting terrorist groups.

That's about as ridiculous as the "Saddam would never side with terrorists, he was a secular leader!"

Saddam offered payment for Palestinian suicide bombers. He offered sheltered to terrorists who had murdered Americans. His officials looked into creating a suicide brigade to attack American interests worldwide.

Roger! Come back, these poor people are rotting without you. Your Ocams Razor comment was lovely. I've had to refute Ocams groupies before and wish I was so clever as to put things in such perspective when doing so. I know a world class engineer who finds the twin towers collapse to be very questionable, though admits he does not know.
