ZEITGEIST: THE MOVIE

So, if the fires didn’t cause this effect of a one-inch column being reduced to half-inch thickness; its edges--which are
curled like a paper scroll--have been thinned to almost razor sharpness; gaping holes--some larger than a silver dollar--let
light shine through a formerly solid steel flange.; a Swiss cheese appearance shocked all of the fire-wise professors, who
expected to see distortion and bending--but not “holes.” - What did and what did NIST say about it?
Nothing- it ignored it all- even though it was in the previous FEMA report and its existence was undeniable.
Such a “vaporizing” style effect can likely only be explained by the use of explosives and the fact the “sulfidation” was also
present could be attributed to the fact that it is a common practice to mix sulfur in with Thermite to obtain an even more
power incendiary reaction. 1
Now, “Nano-Thermite” was developed by the US Military years ago and a basic understanding of it can be found simply
on Wikipedia. 2 However, the central “debunking argument” for this material, is the claim that they are merely “paint chips”
from the building, due to some common chemical properties shared. In the document, “Active Thermitic Material Discovered
in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe” this is also addressed. Very simply, these chips most certainly
could not have been paint chips for 3 basic reasons:
(1) They had no Manganese or Zinc which is extremely common in paint.
(2) The chips, having been put into paint solvent for many hours, did not dissolve.
(3) The chips combust when ignited, while paint merely distorts. Again, this and more can be found in the
aforementioned document.
(7) NIST report on WTC7:
World Trade Center 7 was a 47 story skyscraper that collapsed around 5:20 pm Sept. 11th. While this building would be
considered very large in most cities, its collapse was initially little acknowledged in the main stream media, given the dramatic
collapse of the Twin Towers. In fact, a 2006 Zogby poll found that 43% of the American public were still unaware that
WTC 7 had even collapsed on 9/11. 3
WTC 7 was not hit by a plane. There was no such impact damage and there was no jet fuel. There were, however, fires
and some physical damage, the damage of which was mostly isolated to the SW corner, occuring from the fall of the Twin
Towers. This building collapsed into its own footprint, at near free-fall speed. Just as with the WTC 1 & 2 there is evidence
of heard and seen explosions, molten metal found and many other characteristics of controlled demolition, or more specifically,
a classic “implosion” style take down. These will be discussed as we proceed, but first a little history.
The first official study of WTC7 was done by FEMA in 2002. They stated, very honestly, that the best explanation they
could come up with for the collapse had “only a low probability of occurrence.” 4 In 2004 the 911 Commission released its
571 page public report on the whole 9/11 event and it didn’t even mention the collapse of WTC 7.
In 2003, NIST, which was now the official government sanctioned group to explain all three towers, initially stated it would
publish the report on WTC7 along with the Twin Towers Report, when done. 5 This didn’t happen. NIST released it report
on the Twin Towers in 2005 and then announced that the WTC 7 report was delayed until 2006... it then said the draft
would be 2007... Finally, in late 2008, NIST released its final WTC 7 report. These delays are evidence as to the complexity
NIST faced with explaining the collapse and, as we will show, NIST’s function in this regard was an a political agency
and not a scientific one.
To show the lack of confidence in creating an explanation, Shyam Sunder, NIST lead investigator for WTC7, when asked
in 2006 why WTC 7 collpased, he stated,:
“[T]ruthfully, I don’t really know. We’ve had trouble getting a handle on building No. 7.” 6
