9 Keys To 9-11
 By Nick Kollerstrom, PhdThe following ‘keys’ outline a chronological unfolding of our understanding of major mysteries of the9/11 event in the years following. This manner of approaching the topic may be helpful and I’ve usedit in workshops. We still don’t know who designed the greatest conjuring trick of all time. But, a groupof ‘911 Sceptics’ have been meeting in London to mull over any emerging consensus; one of theseattended the first hijackology conference at San Francisco in March 2004, at which seven hundredpeople were present.President Bush gave evidence to the 9/11 Commission on April 29th 2004 – not under oath, withCheney beside him, for 2-3 hours, and off the record. The whole world needs a proper enquiry intothis event, with Bush being asked questions on oath and on the record. For example:• How come his brother Marvin was on the governing board of Securacom, the company in chargeof security for the WTC complex when it was hit? (1)• Why did his brother Jeb visit the Florida training school of the ‘hijackers’ a mere 12 hours after the9/11 event, and together with FBI agents confiscate all of the archives and records of that flightschool (Key No. 7)?• Why, on the morning of 9/11, did his father George Bush met with Osama bin Laden's brother,Shafig bin Laden, at a conference sponsored by the Carlyle Group in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel inWashington, DC?• How come none of these facts were mentioned in the 9/11 Commission report?US lawyer Stanley Hilton, a senior advisor to Republican Senator Bob Dole who has personallyknown Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz for decades (2), has stated: ‘This [9/11] was all planned. This was agovernment-ordered operation.’ (10th September 2004 Alex Jonesshow)http://www.rense.com/general57/aale.htmWas this so, Mr President?Some crucial Keys have now come into existence – every one omitted by the best-selling ‘9/11Commission Report’. That Report mainly consists of long stories of how people, mainly Muslims,moved around, and allegedly plotted things, with virtually all of its references uncheckable – FBImemos, CIA memos, etc. It has testimony from ‘interrogations’ – maybe under torture? It tells agripping yarn, which is not, however, true. It has failed to examine the scientific and factualevidence. As a member of staff at a Science & Technology Studies Dept (UCL), I reckon that theseKeys should focus upon verifiable, scientific-technological issues. They are given in chronologicalorder, with the months when they appeared.Key no. 1 – Silverstein ‘pulls’ WTC7 Sept, 2002The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey signed a deal transferring ownership of the WorldTrade Centre complex to the Silverstein-led Westfield America, which was finalised and celebrated
 
on the 23rd July 2001 — just seven weeks before almost the entire complex was destroyed. Let’squote Larry Silverstein’s words here: “This is a dream come true," he had said. "We will be in controlof a prized asset, and we will seek to develop its potential, raising it to newheights."www.serendipity.li/wtc6.htm This complex included WTC-7, the 47-storey building used by the CIA, a block away from the TwoTowers. It collapsed at 5.20 pm in a perfect implosion, for no discernible reason, taking 6.5 secondsto fall, into its own footprint. No high-rise steel building had ever collapsed due to fire, before thatday. The official FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) report had sparks jumpingacross from the Twin Towers and then smouldering for five hours, igniting oil stored in the groundfloor www.911review.org/Wiki/Building7Collapse.shtml. Larry Silverstein stated in a September 2002 documentary program a year later, that on that day, ‘…I said to the firemen, we have had such a terrible loss of life, maybe the smart thing to do is to pull it.And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse.’ That casual remark hasto imply, that the building was wired with explosives some days or weeks before, for a deliberatedemolition. (www.prisonplanet.com/011904wtc7.html) A building cannot be thus ‘pulled’ unless it haspreviously been mined, can it? He received $860m compensation to rebuild – no questions asked -about double what the original building was worth.Liquid pools of molten steel remained below ground – in common, as we shall see, with the rubble of the Twin Towers. Some bits of this story do strain credulity. Seismic vibrations registered at itsinstant of collapse (at Columbia University, 21 miles due North), one-tenth the magnitude of thoseregistered for the Twin Towers. Videos of thedemolitionhttp://www.plaguepuppy.net/public_html/collapse%20update/clearly show a controlledprocess, with ‘squibs’ going off on a sequence of lower floors, to bring about the collapse. Likewise,a slow-motion video clearly shows controlled demolition moving down through the Two Towers, withsequential detonation (3):http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=consp_911&Number=2 93270721. The 9/11 Commission Report has a whole chapter on the WTC complex with two diagrams bothshowing WTC7. However, its detailed account of events of that day gives no hint that it collapsed, inan identical manner to the other buildings. That can only be interpreted, as intent to deceive.Key no. 2 – Video analysis report November 2002The Swiss Institute for Perceptual Artificial Intelligence in Lausanne was commissioned by France-2television to analyse the ‘Bin Laden’ video that appeared in mid-November 2001, of which thePentagon produced an ‘English translation’ on Dec 13th. It expressed confidence that the voiceheard was not that of Bin Laden:http://abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s737945.htm.As the figure in thevideo did not greatly resemble Bin Laden that was hardly a surprise. Two weeks after 911, theTaliban were requesting some evidence for Bin Laden’s complicity, as a condition of giving him up,which was not forthcoming: this translation was the only evidence the US produced as to why itbelieved the engineers of 911 were in Afghanistan. Bin Laden gave a statement to Al-Jazeera on16th September and another more detailed one to the Pakistani newspaper ‘Ummaut’ on 22ndSeptember, both denying any involvement:www.public-action.com/911/oblintrv.html He had had an operation in a US hospital in Dubai for kidney trouble on 4th of July then reappearsin a military hospital in Rawalpindi on September 10th again for kidney dialysis (4). The fake bin-Laden video was put out in mid-November 2001 as the real OBL was dying, and in the last month of his life. Radio transmissions of his voice from Tora Bora had been regularly intercepted, and endedon 14th December, 2001:www.whatreallyhappened.com/osama_dead.html.The funeral of OsamaBin Laden was reported in Pakistani and Egyptian newspapers, as having taken place on 16thDecember 2001, at an undisclosed location in Pakistanwww.welfarestate.com/binladen/funeral/. 
 
Key No. 3 – Mobile phone investigation February 2003Canadian computer-science Professor Dewdney took up an aeroplane at comparable altitudes andspeeds to the hijacked planes, to see whether mobile phones would work: they didn’t, hediscovered, and for two reasons. The altitude was too great, and, with the phones taking half aminute or so to establish a ‘handshake’ with the nearest radio mast, and at speeds of over 500 mphthis just wasn’t feasible. “Cellphones become useless very quickly with increasing altitude. Inparticular, two of the cellphone types, the Mike and the Nokia, became useless above 2000feet”.http://anderson.ath.cx:8000/911/hj08.htmlHis finding was concordant with other researches,which indicated that the calls supposedly made failed to show up on the phone bills belonging to thepassengers.A phone call by Barbara Olsen was supposedly made from a Boeing 757 (The AA flight 77) a planeprobably not equipped with in-flight satellite telephone, whereas Boeing 767 and 777swere:http://inn.globalfreepress.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=1092Sixteen hours after theevent, CNN ran the story from an interview with Ted Olsen, US Solicitor-General. This report wasthe first to allege that hijackers, armed with nothing more than box-cutters, had taken over the plane.There was no record of the cost of this call on any bill, but it had to be claimed that she had made areverse-charge call, even though she would have needed a credit card to operate the call. Olsenstated elsewhere his ‘Its OK to lie’ philosophy: ‘It is easy to imagine an infinite number of situations . . . where government officials might quite legitimately have reasons to give falseinformation out. It's an unfortunate reality that the issuance of incomplete information and evenmisinformation by government may sometimes be perceived as necessary to protect vital interests.’Key no. 4 – tiny hole made in Pentagon April 2003A photo of the Pentagon was released in April 2003, taken about half a minute after impact andshowing just a small hole about 20 feet wide at point of entry, at the ground-floor level, before thewhole front wall collapsed (A Boeing 757 has a 125 feet wingspan). This established that no planewith jet engines on its wings had entered the Pentagon, but one with a single jet only, at its rear.Possibly there was a small fracture on the first floor, made by the tail fin of whatever entered,between two windows.www.asile.org/citoyens/numero13/pentagone/erreurs_en.htm Hijackologists have been fairly unanimous that whatever impacted into the Pentagon at 9.37 am atfirst floor level leaving an undisturbed grass lawn in front, could not have been the Boeing 757 thattook off from Washington, for about five reasons: no trace of wing wreckage was found (one chunkof engine was for a short time lying in front of the wall - quickly removed by the FBI); whatever wentin had enormous penetrating power and went right through several Pentagon walls; the entry andexit holes remaining were too small for the Boeing; no-one can be found who believes that Arabhijackers ignored the far easier-to-hit White House, sailed past it, and then smoothly came in atground level to hit the Pentagon; DU (depleted uranium) was detected after the impact and cruisemissiles are weighted with uranium.http://perso.wanadoo.fr/jpdesm/pentagon/pages-en/dam-inside.htmlAn air-to-ground missile seems to have been used in the surgical attack, fired by an F-16while the Boeing 757 overflew the explosion and landed at Reagan National only one mile ahead.Hundreds watched the Boeing flying towards the Pentagon, while only a few saw the small, muchfaster killer jet hugging the ground flying below radar level. The Boeing approached the Pentagon atabout eighty feet above ground level, while the killer jet came in at a 52° angle to the wall, so lowthat it left a trail of downed lamp-posts, in a straight line with the small hole it finally made at its exitpoint after passing through several thick walls. All planes in the sky had instructions to land, so theBoeing would have been hardly noticed in the tumult of planes coming out of the sky at ReaganNational airport. It was a ‘spook’ plane anyhow as the usual flight 77 Washington to LA was notflying that day (Key No. 7).Debates continue over the path of 5 flattened street-lamps approaching the Pentagon, and how widea wing-span it indicates. They were on a hill, above the Pentagon’s ground-level, indicating thecraft’s ground-hugging capability: a small F-16 drone could have done that, coming in at groundlevel – impossible for a passenger plane. On Eastman’s hypothesis, it was turbulence of the ground-
