You know, the real simple thing anybody can see, from the start, is that if they look at Tower 1 or 2, it's disintegrating from the top down. It's being demolished, pulverized and blown up, from the top down, while the base remains solid. The difference with Building 7 is they blow it up from the bottom, and you see the whole building come down intact. That's something any layman can look at and say, "Wait a minute! Something's wrong here. Something is very, very wrong here."
I spoke out right away, on FaceBook, then I met Richard Gage. That's when I started to speak out on behalf of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
Richard brought it to the public's attention. He broke into the mainstream and had them begrudgingly acknowledge that there was a Building 7. Otherwise, we would still not even know that Building 7 went down, so he was a key player. Given the legitimacy of Architects and Engineers, specifically focusing on their area of expertise, they could not be marginalized and dismissed.
The mainstream media interviewed Richard only with the intent of luring him into a trap. That is, of having him make a comment such as, "Well, it's a conspiracy theory, you know," but he avoided every trick and trap they tried to lure him into, and he responded by saying, "That's a political assumption. We're not political. We are specialists in our area of expertise, and we're questioning the 9/11 Commission's findings."
I don't know if you know this story, but Richard bought pizza for all of his associate architects, just to get them to come in and listen to him. Otherwise, nobody wanted to hear anything about "conspiracy theories," and against the government, no less. That's a big stretch and, you know, almost un-American.
Being involved with this has cost me friends, family, health. You spend long hours researching it, and that's time you're not doing what you'd normally be doing. I used to be very physical. I used to like to do a lot of landscaping. Spending long hours sitting down, researching stuff, takes a toll on your eyes, and it's not good for your health.
Friends, you know, who are still stuck in cognitive dissonance, you're at odds with them, and family. Just because they're family doesn't mean they'll go along with you. They're stuck where they are.
It's a painful trip for everybody. People who've really gotten into researching 9/11, something didn't sit right with them, so somewhere along the line, they had a kind of trauma, you know, a trigger that got them into actually looking into it a bit further, and thinking for themselves.
I conveyed my disbelief on the web, on FaceBook, but I knew what I was dealing with. Cognitive dissonance is a powerful thing. I took my time and let my FaceBook friends get to know me. I would address it a little bit at a time, with a little bit of evidence. I'd impartially ask questions. If I went too far, I'd get a deafening silence, because nobody wanted to stick their neck out. It was like saying, "Yeah, I believe in flying saucers." It's a touchy subject that affects your credibility.
I simply took it real slow. People got to know me then, finally, instead of a deafening silence, people started responding, adding more information, based on their own research.
All these videos that were coming out, I'd share them. Now, if you go on the web, the information you're getting is phenomenal, so it's not even you sharing what you know, but you benefiting from other people sharing what they know.
In the beginning, there were firefighters who were there telling what they saw, as survivors, but a lot of them went out with injuries, with lung problems. I had lung problems myself. We lost a lot of experienced firefighters from that day, and directly afterwards. There were guys who came down really sick. For about two or three months, I had all kinds of gray, black phlegm coming out of my lungs.
We've got a new batch of firefighters who are trained and disciplined to follow orders and not question, so they follow the official line that's handed down the chain of command. This is what happened, this is what the 9/11 Commission said. That's it. They left it at that.
As for the older guys, most of them are gone. They were forced to retire with lung problems and things like that. For the most part, 9/11 is not discussed in the firehouse.
I sense, from talking to the guys, right there in the firehouse, that there's a morale problem. They're starting to understand that they have no protection from this new kind of, ah, sudden collapse syndrome. If it were to occur again, they would be expected to just charge into a building, as they did before, and put their lives on the line.
The training in the New York City Fire Department is absolutely top notch. The people in the research of standard operational procedures are really the best you can get. They don't want any man to come back and haunt them for a lack of training, but here, you have a situation where there's no corrective measure to prevent a repeat of what happened.
