Belatedly, several years ago now, I finally took time to review video footage of the tragedies of September 11, 2001, and read the 9/11 Commission's report--a task that had been painful and which I had put off far too long. After this re-exposure, I was shocked to find I had many more questions than answers. My new found doubt was troublesome to say the least.

On the videos I saw--with my own eyes, my own mind, my own experience, that building WTC7 (the Solomon Bros. building) was almost certainly a controlled demolition. Shock, awe and disgust! This is obvious now. You and I would have to be brain dead not to see that this huge steel structure had obviously been demolished intentionally. The preparation for this type of demolition would have taken weeks by crews of trained professionals. Logically, and in physical reality, that destruction could not have been done any other way. WTC7 was destroyed by a process that required knowledge in advance that the attack was imminent.

I was depressed for months realizing my own inertia and blindness after the fact. I should have known better; for in the early 1970's I worked for Minoru Yamasaki Associates--the architectural firm that designed the WTC towers. I had first-hand technical knowledge of the structures and systems that were destroyed on that fateful day. I had also submitted a proposal for the WTC Memorial Competition and was familiar with the site's condition and the awful piles of debris after the destruction, at least as far as documented by still photos on the internet. In retrospect, it is now obvious not only to me but hundreds of thousands of others, professionals and laymen alike, that neither the Towers nor WTC7 could have been reduced to the rubble seen in the still photos without additional explosives. Enough explosive--not just a few 'wired' floors but many, many devices, installed down to the subterranean levels--able to bring down the buildings in seconds.

I should have comprehended the truth from day one. I suppose I did subconsciously, after all what I had seen flew in the face of reason and years of personal experience and training in architecture and construction. I trusted the offical explanations.

Ultimately I realized that the explanations handed to us, under the pretense of 'patriotism', were not only partial and inaccurate, but outright false--technically and physically impossible. Worse of all, I realized that the majority of our citizenry did not question the official line or the dubious presentations. I was shattered. My trust in our country's leadership, and the values they espoused, values I had held close to my heart all my life, were destroyed. The 'official line' was a lie.

Our leaders and media willfully lied to us over the mass execution of thousands of our own citizens orchestrated by rogue members of own government and greedy commercial interests who would sell out America for political power and personal financial gain with acts of treason carried out right before our eyes. I am convinced 9/11 was nothing less than manifold treason implemented by none other than our own appointed leaders.

The planes of 9/11 flew into the face of the buildings--the WTC and the Pentagon--but, also flew into the face of sanity of our country and severely weakened the underpinnings of American society. We have not forgotten. We will be repairing the damage and the scars for years to come long after the buildings have been replaced.

Those within our own country who are responsible for the heinous acts of 9/11 must be identified and brought to justice...You know who you are, and so do we.
