The complete collapse of the Twin Towers required a sequence of detonations of strategically placed explosive charges set and timed with exact precision to explode at precise intervals, in such a way that the buildings "pancaked" in the way that they did, causing the buildings to fall straigth down at a free-fall speed, and such that they completely disappeared after the impact by the airplanes.
NUMBER TWO. The Logistical Impossibility of 9/11
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) at the United States military, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and in operation at every commercial airlines company--including both United Airlines and American Airlines --on 9/11, plus the physical capability of military aircraft on hand on 9/11 such as F-15's, make the collision of two commercial airline jumbo jets with the Twin Towers a logistical impossibility UNLESS the following were also ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS in the Twin Towers collisions:
a. Both American Airlines and United Airlines.
b. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
c. The United States military.
ALL THREE HAD TO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED.
The Hijackings were Not Intercepted. Why not????
'Assuming the planes were hijacked,' Dr. Griffin said, (see the notes on the David Ray Griffin speech at SOU above) 'the US military failed to intercept these flights. This is a very well-rehearsed procedure. F-15's and fly at 1500 mph. We have statements from FAA and US military officials saying "we can intercept any flight within 10 minutes." They can get their planes up and into the air to 20,000 feet in two and a half minutes. 24 minutes after the controller first noticed problems with the flight, the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center.'
Dr. Griffin cited the statements of two Air Traffic Controllers: that of Colin Scoggins and Robin Horton. "Scoggins called in at 8:29 --not 8:31, as the 9/11 Commission claimed. Horton said 8:20 AM. The military would have had over 29 minutes to make the interception. These tapes have been cherry-picked and doctored," Dr. Griffin asserted.
"Colonel Robert Marr claims to have had only four fighter jets under his command. Otis and Langley are the only bases that are designated as alert bases, but that does not mean these are the only bases that could have sent up fighters.
"Popular Mechanics claimed that at the end of the Cold War, the US no longer maintained fighter jets on alert status.
On September 11, 2001, Otis had two fueled and ready-to-fly jets every day of the year." American Hero and Stanford University Emeritus Psychology Professor Philip Zimbardo talks about the ideology and power systems of dictatorial regimes on pages 226 and 227 of his new book, The Lucifer Effect. It is precisely here, in the section entitled "Why Systems Matter the Most," that he tells us the real meaning of 9/11.
Professor Zimbardo's landmark contribution to the field of psychology was his ground-breaking study called the Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE). Yet, Professor Zimbardo readily admits that as the professor supervising the SPE, he went too far, and should have stopped the experiment long before he did. But as administrator of the project, he succumbed to the same exact System he created. That same System reappeared in the Bush administration in regareds to Abu Ghraib Prison in Iraq. As a result of the System professor Zimbardo created at the Stanford Prison Experiment, and being sucked into that system, he allowed the SPE to continue even though the experiment had deteriorated into an environment that was both dehumanizing and degrading, where the guards, by the very nature of their position in the environment, became torturers. This is why he says the United States military should have known full well what was going to happen at Abu Ghraib well in advance of the torture scandal. Indeed, Zimbardo argues, top Bush administration and Pentagon officials had no excuse --ALL the way to the top --including Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and General Ricardo Sanchez.
The most important thing, Zimbardo says, is what he learned from the Stanford Prison Experiment. First and foremost, he says, it taught him about power Systems, and the effect that power Systems can have on human behavior. But Professor Zimbardo goes beyond the power Systems created in prison environments, and says power Systems also occur at a much broader level --on a level of societies as a whole.
