Rebekah Roth has, in my opinion, blown the lid off of the lies surrounding the events on 9/11. Facts which are outlined in her recently released book, Methodical Illusion; a book, as of this writing, that is #1 on the Amazon Best Seller List for its category.--NorthWestLibertyNews
Poster Comment:
Roth’s research reveals ALL of the 911 cell phone calls from the passengers to their families and friends were actually made on the ground after the 4 planes landed at a remote military airfield and listen to what her research reveals about passenger 9B. This is a must listen. I agree with NorthWestLibertyNews's opinion that Rebekah has blown the lid off the 9/11 lies.
Wtg, christine. Cyni may well have stroked out on this one.
One can hope! It seems that our super aviator either doesn't know or care that cell phones didn't work on commercial airliners. The last time I tried it was on a flight to christine's, NO SIGNAL ever, and the plane didn't crash, this was part of our discussion on that visit.
It'll take more than facts or science to wake-up that old fool.
Keep in mind that we're also talking about 2001 technology here. While it may not seem that relevant, advances have been enormous.
Exactly! If you could bring a plane down with a cell phone, computer, Ipod, or radio would they really let you take them on the plane, or confiscate them like water bottles and shampoo. Cell phone call circa. 2001- 02 from cruising speed and altitude, I call bullshit.

Rebekah Roth is not a whistle blower. She is a researcher. While very plausible, her hypothesis is just that. It is backed by no references, and she takes forever to get to it.
Her hypothesis is that the planes were commandeered by remote control ("a flight termination system") and landed at nearby airports shortly after takeoff. NORAD and FAA computers were manipulated to show phony flight paths after the jets had actually landed. She calculates that the two jets that left Boston landed at Westover Air Base near Springfield MA. The passengers were told they were participating in a drill and asked to make scripted cell phone calls. One handler is even overheard saying "You did great!" on an answering machine recording. Then the passengers were murdered in cold blood.
After wading through 300 pages of the author walking her dog on Puget Sound and a lame romantic plot, there are some worthwhile scraps. For example, apparently ten of the hijackers are still alive. Mohammed Atta's father said his son worked for Mossad and called him Sept. 12. There are no Arab names on the original passenger manifests; no security camera images; no passenger stubs.
None of the above constitutes "solving 9-11." Roth has a notion that dummy planes were flown into the Trade Center towers. I don't believe any planes crashed into the WTC or the Pentagon. The filmmakers and "eye witnesses" were CIA plants and the planes were dubbed in later. She has nothing about the complicity of the US political elite, media, CIA or military on 9-11.
Roth describes the villains as "the Octopus," Israel and its enablers, consisting of traitors in US government, media and society. Her heroine and a friend alert the President, "Joel Sherman" of an Israeli plot to set off nuclear bombs in US cities and sow deadly viruses. This will be blamed on Iran and result in war. - See more at: henrymakow.com/#sthash.q4rTIMvu.dpuf

WTC attacks were drones, ie. airliners or tankers converted to appear as passenger aircraft yet were remotely controlled. There were at least tens of thousands of witnesses to the WTC attacks; I doubt they were all "CIA assets". Not to mention every single news agency was covering the event as it unfolded, I doubt all of them were reporting on non-existant events being staged from a central control center in real time.
I think those who insist the no-plane tale is absolute fact are in reality actively involved in the obvious coverup, sowing discord amongst the "truthers", and "proving" to others who actually believe the official government lies concerning 9/11 that all "truthers" are stark raving lunatics.
The Pentagon attack was most likely a drone as well, being substantially smaller than an actual airliner, yet painted to appear as one from a distance.
What better way to get rid of pesky evidence at the WTC than totally demolishing the evidence by way of demolition, and removal of any lingering debris to China?
If those buildings HADN'T "fallen down", there'd have been NO way for their plan to have worked.

That was the greedheads at work as they couldn't wait to rebuild...and there was nothing left to *demolish*...I looked down on that hole for three months before I couldn't take it any more...
BTW, the evidence was demolished due to the "collapse" of the towers. If the towers had NOT collapsed, there would have been intact remains of the aircraft in each tower. If they were not the reported aircraft, well, we most likely would be living under a different government by now since the perps would have been hauled off in handcuffs.
There were semi-intact remains of the aircraft outside of the towers. I saw some myself.
I'm just curious, were you NYFD or something? I'd think the site would be restricted after the crash/collapse. I'm not trying to pick a fight or anything, I don't care what really happened that day one way or another anymore. I guess my interest in this clusterfuck of a thread stems from me being a pilot before "Texting Woman" destroyed my life.
No. I worked at a company whose NY headquarters are at 1 Liberty Plaza (165 Broadway) and I sat right at the Northwest corner of the building...
I do have a dozen or so NYFD friends and one relative as well as a few NYPD who were on site all day. That's why I know the WTC7 BS is just that. They all saw the South face of the building and knew that it was going to collapse...
That's why I know the WTC7 BS is just that. They all saw the South face of the building and knew that it was going to collapse...
Pure BS. A weak south face does NOT cause a total collapse across all four corners of a building resulting in a free fall as if there's nothing in the way.
That's why I question your truthfullness in what you "report". You could well have been in Idaho on the morning of 9/11 and simply CLAIM to have been there in NYC and have all these "friends" who KNEW it was "going to collapse"..
Could you provide a link which reports ANY other building on earth falling at free fall speed due to damage on one side of the building?
Pure BS. A weak south face does NOT cause a total collapse across all four corners of a building resulting in a free fall as if there's nothing in the way.
The entire South Face was gone from the ground about half way up. And the collapse started on the east side of the building...

The irony in your response here would overwhelm James Thurber...
You weren't there. You spout nonsense. But what I say is questionable.
The entire South Face was gone from the ground about half way up. And the collapse started on the east side of the building...
Uh huh. Have you ever heard of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City? The entire side of the building was destroyed by explosives, yet the building didn't budge.
Fires have raged in high rise buildings for a day or more, yet even THOSE buildings didn't fall as if someone kicked the bottom out.
So go ahead and find ANY example other than WTC 1, 2, or 7 where such a thing has ever happened.
BTW, did you ever play with Legos when you were a kid? Were you ever able to get a stack of them to fall straight down if you took some off one side?
No, it would be impossible. If it WERE to fall (after giving it a push), it'd tilt sideways, then break up as hit the ground sideways.
You don't even need to study physics to know that, all you need is common sense.
Uh huh. Have you ever heard of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City? The entire side of the building was destroyed by explosives, yet the building didn't budge.
The Murrah Building was constructed differently, IIRC, it was modular. But the more important reason is that most of the building did collapse...not just one side of it...
What's the big gouge on the left side from which debris is cascading in the direction of *gravity*?
The structure did not collapse into its own footprint did it. And while the explosion blew an entire slice of the building outwards, the building itself was still standing afterwards.
Do you see any major debris field outside of its *footprint*?
Uh, yep.
And remember, the blast was INWARDS, yet falling debris did in act fall outwards. The point is, the structure did NOT collapse, any damage done was caused by explosives, and the buidling itself was still standing afterwards.
You're claiming that since WTC7 had some damage on one side, the ENTIRE BUILDING decided to fall down into its own footprint at free fall speed.
You are afflicted with "magical thinking" in that impossible events are possible, because to view it differently would destroy your inner security and worldview.
You're claiming that since WTC7 had some damage on one side, the ENTIRE BUILDING decided to fall down into its own footprint at free fall speed.
You're missing the part about the fire burning for hours uncontrolled because the building was unstable and expect to collapse.
The spray-on fireproofing for structural steel elements was gypsum-based Monokote which had a two-hour fire rating for steel beams, girders and trusses, and a three-hour rating for columns.[6] Wikipedia
The fire burned long past the rating period of the fire proofing.
NIST determined that diesel fuel did not play an important role, nor did the structural damage from the collapse of the Twin Towers, nor did the transfer elements (trusses, girders, and cantilever overhangs). But the lack of water to fight the fire was an important factor. The fires burned out of control during the afternoon, causing floor beams near column 79 to expand and push a key girder off its seat, triggering the floors to fail around column 79 on Floors 8 to 14. With a loss of lateral support across nine floors, column 79 buckled – pulling the east penthouse and nearby columns down with it. With the buckling of these critical columns, the collapse then progressed east-to-west across the core, ultimately overloading the perimeter support, which buckled between Floors 7 and 17, causing the remaining portion of the building above to fall downward as a single unit. The fires, fueled by office contents, along with the lack of water, were the key reasons for the collapse.[7] Wikipedia
Im sure I don't have to tell you that Im not a structural engineer, and I strongly suspect you are not an engineer either; that puts both of us in the position of having to rely on the expertise of others, not only for information, but also for analysis. I am still curious to know why your choose to believe the government blew up the WTC buildings.

And again, buildings don't collapse into their own footprint at free fall speeds unless they've been deliberately demolished with explosives.
Go see what Architects and Engineers have to say about the matter, and stop spewing pseudoscience explanations you've picked up from government disinformation sites.
Contrary to your claims, WTC 7 DID fall at free fall speed, and WTC 1 & 2 dropped at a rate VERY CLOSE to free fall speed.
An actual total collapse would have taken MUCH more time.
In reality, if a collapse were to have occured without the use of explosives, only the damaged upper section would have either slid off or toppled over, the remaining lower structure would have stayed intact.
[This is a reposting of this video which was taken down from the original site, originally posted in August 2008 just after the release of the final draft of the NIST WTC7 Report, prior to the final version which was altered to admit a 2.25 second period of freefall.] This video tracks the motion of the NW corner of Building 7 of the World Trade Center on 9/11 2001. The building was in freefall for a period of ~2.5 seconds. This means it was falling through itself for over 100 feet with zero resistance, an impossibility in any natural scenario. This period of freefall is solid evidence that explosives had to be used to bring the building down. In the final draft for public comment (August 2008) NIST denied that WTC7 fell at freefall. In the final report in Nov 2008 they reversed themselves and admitted freefall, but denied its obvious significance. ----- [The WTC7 series has elicited a number of questions from people unclear on the details of how I did the measurements, compared to how NIST did them and how the representatives of NIST described their measurements. I have therefore created a WTC7 Measurement FAQ page: http://www.911speakout.org/WTC7- Measurement-FAQ.pdf ... . I will also use this FAQ as a place of reference for other questions that arise as well.]
WTC7 shows the characteristics of a standard type of controlled demolition where the explosives are placed on structural members of the lower floors to initiate the collapse.
WTC 1 and 2 on the other hand were wired for effect, since the world had to believe that the planes hitting the towers and the associated fires were what caused the destruction of each tower.
Thus, computer timed detonations had to occur at a precise rate starting from floors immediately below the aress of impact, and sequentially fire downwards to help the upper structure gain velocity at a rate where it'd pick up enough kinetic energy to demolish floors below.

If explosives were placed on lower floors, why was the penthouse on top of bldg 7 the first to go?
So you think the penthouse is where the crucial failure occured?
That isn't what she said...she - correctly - pointed out that in a controlled demolition the top of the building would not begin to collapse before the bottom of it...
That isn't what she said...she - correctly - pointed out that in a controlled demolition the top of the building would not begin to collapse before the bottom of it...
What if they wanted to ensure that whatever was in that penthouse was thoroughly destroyed? It'd be easy enough to place a few charges directly under it (or inside it). However, the fact remains, it wasn't simply that the roof collapsed, the ENTIRE building dropped straight into its own footprint.
It is clear from the video that the Penthouse was the first to go - are we not supposed to notice that and ask why?
Well it's an interesting observation that there were additional explosives at the top floor of the building, but the fact is, the ENTIRE structure dropped at free fall speed, not just the top floor or structure on top of it.
Can you point to any building that he been felled via controlled demolition that was done so by placing charges on the TOP floor?
You and your GF are the ones diverting attention to the penthouse, and are making a big stink about it. It's a side topic, not the primary matter.
It is YOU and your side kick who are claiming the penthouse collapse has something to do with the MAIN collapse which caused the ENTIRE structure to drop at free fall speed, not I.
The Penthouse is what spikes the controlled demolition nonsense.
In your mind perhaps. So since a penthouse on the top floor mysteriously collapses prior to the MAIN collapse initiated on the bottom floors, that means the rest of the structure must have been wiped out by red ants or something, eh?
Well if you cared anything at all about those people you would be interested in finding out who was responsible, rather than helping them get away with murder.

Unlike the two of you, I actually have some important matters to attend to, so you can scream and kick all you want, but I think the facts speak for themselves for anyone who truly seeks the truth.
The more that I *think* about this the more frightening it would have been for the Towers to have simply been blown up and collapsed on the spot...it would have killed tens of thousands more people and the shock would have been exponentially more than simply flying planes in at different times...

Ok, I'll bite on this last one.
There would have been a massive criminal investigation if it had happened that way, and the population wouldn't have swallowed any claims that 19 arabs did it with box cutters.
That and they couldn't have created the TSA, and would have to explain how terrorists planted bombs in the Pentagon exactly in the right location to blow up the office where investigators were looking into the missing 2.3 TRILLION dollars.
Your comments illustrate just how short sighted you are...
The success of any plot has always been rooted in the dynamic between simplicity and complexity. The more complex the plot, the less likely it will succeed.
The hundreds, nearly thousands of people, who had to be involved to pull your 9/11 scenario off, is the easiest falsification of the plot.

You are ridiculous. Tell me (and others) that you really believe 19 A-Rabs with box cutters boarded commercial aircraft (without a single arab name on the manifests) took over the planes and flew them into the 9-11 targets (the Pentagon being hit an hour and a half after take-off), the buildings in New York being turned into dust and falling into their own footprint - and building 7 falling belatedly at 5:30 PM .. the others in the early morning hours.
And what about those dancing Israeli Mossad agents ??? What about Condi Rice's statement that "we never thought the terrorists would use commercial aircraft as missiles when in fact there were around 15 drills taking place to prepare for exactly that scenario ???

Do you believe that the government managed to plan and implement the false flag attack on 911, with all planning and coordination that entails, but left out a a little detail like remembering to place the names of the hijackers on passenger lists?
The names of the 12 men with Arabic surnames were not on a passenger list made public yesterday by American Airlines and United Air Lines, whose planes were hijacked Tuesday morning. But The Boston Globe obtained the complete list, and law enforcement sources confirmed that they were focusing on up to a dozen of the Arabic men as they piece together how the two Boston flights were hijacked.
One of the suspects, Mohamed Atta, 33, is a Saudi national who trained as an airline pilot. The other two, Waleed Alshehri and Marwan Alshehri, are believed to be brothers from the United Arab Emirates, and are also trained to fly heavy commercial aircraft like the ones that were commandeered and flown into the World Trade Center towers in New York.
Apparently the lists you refer to were not manifests, but were incomplete lists of victims (some names initially withheld at the request of family members) sans suspects.

What I believe is that it would have been to their advantage for the names to have been released to the public. They tried to tell us what seats they were in before the alleged hijacking.

My sister sent me the passenger lists printed in the Indianapolis, Star Newspaper.
There were so many anomalies that it really doesn't make logical sense to worry about one or two elements. What takes a whole lot of faith to believe is that 19 cave dwellers with box cutters were able to defeat the most elaborate defenses, the most expensive intelligence, in the most highly defended place (NYC and at the Pentagon) on earth. Now that takes a monumental leap of faith in my estimation.
And, later it became public that while all of America had been grounded (no air flights) 100 or more Bin Ladens were flown out of the country. I don't usually get into this subject but jet fuel is basically kerosene and it isn't capable of reaching temperatures necessary to melt steel and even if it would have on that very special day that still doesn't account for the pulverized concrete that was as fine as baby powder. Many witnesses described explosions. I think the buildings were pre-loaded with bombs of some sort.
The whodunnit exactly will probably never be known, but my money wouldn't be on 19 Arabs unless they were acting as contract agents for the CIA or MOSSAD.
Describe in detail how ANY part of what I wrote is inaccurate, rather than using the standard disinfo BS.
No, slim...you made the BS statement...now would be the time to back it up...and the *small* office fires nonsense isn't going to cut it...you had floors fully engulfed in flames...people don't jump from 100 story buldings because a couple of chairs are on fire...
A) Because there's smoke and flames doesn't mean you have temperatures reaching anything close to that necessary to weaken steel.
B) The fires were practically out prior to the collapse of both towers. One indication of such is that they were spewing BLACK smoke at that time, indicating a very low intensity smouldering fire which was starved of oxygen.
C) There were people who survived who were ON the impacted floors, and those you see in the windows were unfortunate enough to be on the wrong side of the fire where they couldn't make it to the stairs.
So do you get a bonus if you spin enough lies in a day's time?
Because there's smoke and flames doesn't mean you have temperatures reaching anything close to that necessary to weaken steel.
What does thick black, sooty smoke mean?
The fires were practically out prior to the collapse of both towers. One indication of such is that they were spewing BLACK smoke at that time, indicating a very low intensity smouldering fire which was starved of oxygen.
Everything that you stated is BS.
The fires were in no way nearly out. THICK black smoke is an indication of a fire that is both widespread and has plenty of fuel.
There were people who survived who were ON the impacted floors, and those you see in the windows were unfortunate enough to be on the wrong side of the fire where they couldn't make it to the stairs
What stairs? The stairs were gone on the *impacted* floors.
So what sort of bizzaro world do you live in war where fire is not hot enough to burn a human being, but hot enough to weaken steel to a point of structural failure?

You're saying that the fires were so hot they could weaken steel, yet people were able to walk through the area of those alleged raging fires without getting burnt.
So you're trying to say that humans are more resistant to heat than hardened structural steel, eh?

At 8.46am and 26 seconds it hit the building, and the tip of the wing hit the offices about 70ft above him. The impact of the Boeing 767 ripped a path across floors 94 to 98, shredding steel columns, crushing filing-cabinets and computer- laden desks and ripping out bundles of cables.
The plane's 10,000 gallons of fuel incinerated everything in its path as the fireball ignited. Dozens were killed instantly.
~~~~~
From the 91st floor upwards, it is believed no one got out alive, even though as many as 1,100 may have survived the initial crash.
Either they would have been burned or smothered by smoke as the inferno swept through the building, or they would have been forced by the unbearable heat to jump, or else perished as the tower collapsed.

Mr. Nicholls had spent several minutes search for the stairwell, which he still could not find. He was not sure what to do. "These two guys came over. They were trying to figure out, because the fire was getting so badWe knew we had to get out of there."
"The fire was not too far from us. We were watching it burn. It was decided between these two guys, one of them said, `Lets go back over to the other side where they came from.' He thought that might be the best way to get down." The other guy said "No, I don't think so, I think there is a stairway over here. At this point it was getting very smoky."

Hey genius, do you know the difference between North and South? I was referrring to the South Tower, and you are playing as if you don't know that by posting news clips about the North Tower.

So, the North Tower fell on its own but the South Tower was controlled demolition.
So, the North Tower fell on its own but the South Tower was controlled demolition.
Er, no. I'm not going to play your game of confusing one set of facts in terms of survivors from the SOUTH TOWER with your cherry picked tales about the North Tower.
I'm simply addressing your ridiculous claims about how office fires which burnt for less than an hour were capable of heating steel to the point of structural failure.
NO object, I don't care WHAT it is, will travel through the path of MOST resistance, nor will it fall through ANY path which has mass in its way, at free fall speed or anything close to it.
But to simple minds such as yours, that believes in the impossible because the government said so, well, I guess there's just no hope in you ever seeing things for what they are.
Unless you're just pretending to be dumb of course. Because if you WERE intelligent enough to know better, then that would mean you are actively participating in a criminal enterprise which murdered 3000 people, plus a LOT more if you count the bogus wars that killed over a million innocent people.
But to simple minds such as yours, that believes in the impossible
You *think* it's impossible that planes were hijacked at knifepoint and then flown in to buildings and that the initial impact and explosion caused significant damage...you further believe that it is impossible for the significant amount of materials in those offices to catch fire in any significant way.
Instead, you believe that it's possible that an unknown number of personal *snuck* in to three WTC buildings and planted devices that were capable of not causing the buildings to collapse...and to cover this up...4 airliners were somehow, you don't know how, commandeered, flown to a remote location and the passengers...well...you don't know what happened to them...meanwhile...real time conversations between the planes and people and places on the ground were simulated as soon as those flights were commandeered...those planes were then replaced by mockups and flown in to three buildings while one augured in, for some unexplained reason, near Somerset, PA...after they were flown in to the buildings and the numerous accounts, both eyewitness and video, of fires raging, are nothing more than disinformation...and that at some specified times...one of those over 6 hours later...the buildings were blown up...

I KNOW it is impossible for structural steel to weaken to the point of failure due to low grade office fires.
I KNOW it is impossible for structures to fall into their own footprint at free fall speed UNLESS there are explosives involved in their demolotion.
There are MANY other things which don't add up, but I don't have all day to write a 50 page essay of what is OBVIOUSLY impossible in terms of the events of 9/11.
That you choose to obfuscuate the truth and dance around it, illustrates what your mission is here.
I KNOW it is impossible for structures to fall into their own footprint at free fall speed UNLESS there are explosives involved in their demolotion.
You've been shown several times that a) they did not fall into their own footprint and b) that the speed was not free fall...and if there were explosives involved how is it that columns remained standing?

You can stomp your feet as often and as hard as you'd like, but that doesn't change the facts.
The towers AND Building 7 FELL STRAIGHT DOWN INTO THEIR OWN FOOTPRINTS.
The towers fell at ALMOST free fall speed, and Building 7 DID fall at free fall speed.
A matter of a fraction of a second, or even several seconds, does not make it untrue. If the collapse took hours, days, or weeks, then that'd be more akin to a structural failure.
For skyscrapers to come straight down completely in a matter of seconds (ESPECIALLY at a rate at or near freefall), that's controlled demolition.
None of the buildings fell at free fall speed and as soon as you acknowledged that the Penthouse collapse actually occurred then you know this as well...
None of the buildings fell at free fall speed and as soon as you acknowledged that the Penthouse collapse actually occurred then you know this as well...
The penthouse (Penthouse is a magazine, did you know that you don't capitalize words unless they're proper nouns or at the beginning of a sentence), BEGAN to collapse prior to the MAIN collapse.
THAT indicates there was structural failure below the penthouse PRIOR to the bottom of the structure TOTALLY failing causing the ENTIRE building to drop as one at free fall speed.
You can continue to deny the fact that both towers AND Building 7 dropped into their own footprints at or near free fall speed, yet that doesn't make it true.
You could also insist that the Earth has 5 moons of identical size which support vast herds of goats on each one, but that doesn't make that true either.
What it also indicated, is that the collapse took seconds longer than free fall speed.
BS. The collapse time is measured from the time the STRUCTURE begins to drop as one, THAT is what amounts to a total structural collapse.
That there was evidently SOME sort of demolition occuring on the top floor where the penthouse was situated does not mean squat in terms of how fast the top four corners of the building along with the REST of the building dropped as one.
Even discounting your dishonest claims as to whether the time of collapse begins when ANY part of the building fails, or when the ENTIRE building drops uniformly, the difference is a matter of fractions of a second.
It takes more than a fraction of a second to demolish 50 or so floors of a high rise building.
May I make a suggestion? This thread is approaching 500 replies and saturating the Latest Comments page. I suspect everybody who's going to be convinced one way or the other already has been, so you might want to expend these impressive talents on other subjects. Just a suggestion!
I'm excited to discover today (took me awhile) that there's tons of discussion going on here. I have strong opinions on 9/11, and forcing myself not to add my 2c in this space is my greatest 2015 achievement so far :-)
