The New 9/11 Casualties is a horrifying story about what happened to the rescue workers at Ground Zero — more particularly, what happened to their lungs. It’s a very good piece, with the exception of a brief but necessary wave to I.C. — Imperial Correctness. I.C. dictates that the American Empire can make mistakes and (it’s now being whispered) even be callous or downright scandalous in its behavior, but never EVER would it take the lead role in perpetrating atrocities — still less against its own people. That this is provably false from the historical record is not the point; nor will you persuade the willing upholders of I.C. that they are merely saying what Big Daddy tells them to. They can quite rightly point to the fact that they don’t always believe Big Daddy. Big Daddy, the national security state, might, indeed, be wrong. But if he did certain things, he would simply cease to BE Big Daddy, and that is NOT acceptable.
The brief but necessary wave consists of the following bit of disinfo about the Twin Towers, so transparent it might almost be a good thing:
“The weight of the buildings pulverized everything inside—including thousands of tons of insulation, drywall, concrete, glass, plastics, 50,000 computers and other pieces of office equipment—into a fine powder.”
Now how would it do that, I wonder? If you shot all that material out of a cannon and it hit a steel wall in mid-air, it wouldn’t all turn into a fine powder. It would require an incredibly high impact velocity to completely powderize even concrete, let alone all the other materials. This is perhaps the single strongest piece of evidence for controlled demolition, and it’s right out in the open. It’s amazing how people can know about this and still believe the official story. It was precisely when I heard about the powderization, three and a half years ago, that I stopped thinking an inside job was a little too much to believe and remembered Sherlock Holmes’ injunction, “How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?”
However improbable — however unacceptable — however world-shattering.
UPDATE: I forgot to point out the most interesting aspect of the New Gravity (a concept every bit as sound as the Third Way, the End of History, and the New American Century). Not only is gravity stronger, it’s much faster than it was before. In fact, the new, improved gravity works in advance…objects now pulverize while falling, BEFORE THEY EVEN HIT THE GROUND. If you don’t believe me, take a look at this photo of the North Tower midway through the process of collapsing — or, more precisely, of blowing apart:
