63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want You to Read - Jesse Ventura [30]
Here’s the rub: Building 7 came down so fast that it was at virtually the same rate as a free-falling object. Members of the 9/11 Truth Movement have been pointing this out for years. But that didn’t jive with the official story, because free fall can only take place when an object has no structural components below it. And the only way that could happen to a building would be to remove the lower structural components with an external force like explosives. Otherwise, you’d be defying Newton’s laws of physics.
So, not surprisingly, when the NIST Draft for Public Comment report came out in August of 2008, they claimed that the time it took for the 17 upper floors to crumble (the only floors visible on the videos they were using) “was approximately 40 percent longer than the computed free fall time and was consistent with physical principles.” There had been “a sequence of structural failures,” the NIST technical expert said.
I guess they weren’t counting on a high school physics teacher named David Chandler asking a question at the briefing. The teacher said this “40 percent longer” business contradicted an Internet-available video that clearly showed “for about two and a half seconds…the acceleration of the building is indistinguishable from free fall.”
NIST apparently took the teacher seriously. In their final report, published in November 2008, amazingly enough they admitted free fall. After dividing the descent of Building 7 into three stages, NIST called the second phase “a freefall descent over approximately eight stories at gravitational acceleration for approximately 2.25s[econds].”
A miracle apparently took place on 9/11. Like schoolteacher Chandler said, “Free fall can only be achieved if there is zero resistance to the motion.” Interestingly, the final NIST report no longer said anything about its analysis being “consistent with physical principles.” Of course, they didn’t admit anything about a professional demolition job either. But that’s the only way this could have happened. Building 7 didn’t come down because heat from fires caused the steel to weaken and collapse. It was assisted to the ground by some type of explosive device that could remove all resistance.
Pay close attention to the portions I’ve highlighted from the NIST report. Why the mainstream TV and press can get a report like this, and it isn’t leading the news cycle and on every front page the next morning, shows you just how controlled the corporate media are.

FOLLOW THE MONEY
Evidence for Insider Stock Trading Before 9/11
How many of you realize that, almost immediately after the events of 9/11, the FBI set up a team to look into insider stock trading that indicated foreknowledge of what was going to happen? That, of course, could have opened Pandora’s box in terms of a bigger conspiracy than just al Qaeda. This reminds me of the old cliché that goes back to Deep Throat in Watergate—follow the money. Generally if you want to find out who knew what, the money trail will lead you to the knowledge you desire. And 9/11 seems to be a classic example of that.
To set the stage, I’m reprinting with the author’s permission a mindblowing and extremely well-researched article by Kevin Ryan that appeared in the Foreign Policy Journal on November 18, 2010. It’s called “Evidence for Informed Trading on the Attacks of September 11.”
