An Addendum
The Wikipedia article on Mystery Airships does a decent job of summarizing this topic. Here are a few passages that stood out for me:
It was popularly believed that the mystery airships were the product of some genius inventor not ready to make knowledge of his creation public. For example, Thomas Edison was so widely speculated to be the mind behind the alleged airships that in 1897 he "was forced to issue a strongly worded statement" denying his responsibility.
Author Gregory L. Reece has argued that mystery airships are unlikely to represent test flights of real human-manufactured dirigibles as no record of successful airship flights are known from the period and "it would have been impossible, not to mention irrational, to keep such a thing secret."
Reece is wrong on both accounts. The desire to suppress certain technologies that might no be as profitable for TPTB is by no means irrational. And as for there being "no record of successful airship flights" from the period, the Wikipedia article clarifies:
To the contrary, however, there were in fact several functional airships manufactured before the 1896-97 reports, but their capabilities were far more limited than the mystery airships.
Steerable airships had been publicly flown in the US since the Aereon in 1863, and numerous inventors were working on airship and aircraft designs (the idea that a secretive inventor might have developed a viable craft with advanced capabilities was the focus of Jules Verne's 1886 novel Robur the Conqueror).
In fact, two French army officers and engineers, Arthur Krebs and Charles Renard, had successfully flown in an electric-powered airship called the La France as early as 1885, making no fewer than seven successful flights in the craft over an eleven-month period.
Also during the 1896-1897 period, David Schwarz built an aluminum-skinned airship in Germany that successfully flew over Tempelhof Field before being irreparably damaged during a hard landing.
Both events clearly demonstrated that the technology to build a practical airship existed during the period in question, though if reports of the capabilities of the California and Midwest airship sighted in 1896-97 are true, it would have been considerably more advanced than any airship built up to that time.
Again, it seems to be premature to outright dismiss the 19th century airship mystery as utterly fanciful, hoaxes or the product of yellow journalism.
One of the sources for the Wikipedia article is the following extremely impressive collection: The Mystery Airship Log: 1871 - 1895. They continued through the early 1900's as well:
There was a series of mystery airship sightings in 1909. Some came from various European locations, some from New England and from New Zealand. Later reports came from the UK in 1912 and 1913.
However, by this time airship technology was well advanced (Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin having been flying his massive passenger-carrying airships for nearly a decade by this time), making the prospect that these may have been small, private airships rather than evidence of extraterrestrial visitation or newspaper hoaxes more reasonable.
Again, we are dealing here with a matter of years, not decades. If electric crafts had been successfully flown in the 1880's and if "private" airships were being constructed by 1910, it seems again to be unreasonable to completely dismiss the possibility that someone was flying around some sort of experimental craft in 1897, or even earlier.
As for legitimate attempts to debunk the entirety of this mystery, I'm grateful to a user over in /r/ufos for bringing this article to my attention:
Cracking the 1896/97 Airships Mystery? Toward a Psycho-SocioCultural Explanation.
The author does an admirable job offering a skeptic's view, and the sheer amount of images provided makes it worthwhile checking it out.
I was going to make a long-winded attempt at "debunking his debunking," but fortunately u/shangriLOL stepped up in the /r/ufos thread and said it far more eloquently and succinctly than is within my ability.
Half of the debunking is just an examination of the plastic and impressionable nature of human perception. We get it, people make serious, game-breaking mistakes all the time when reporting on their experiences. Venus and Chinese lanterns are given as the stimulus which was warped by preconceptions and the building social focus on flight to become airships.
The comparisons of directions of sightings with heavenly bodies puts a nail in the coffin of many of the long distance sightings. So a few cases (all long-distance sightings) are discussed and debunked, but he doesn't even mention (unless I missed it while reading) cases where people reportedly made contact with the pilots/passengers of the airships. Cases of direct contact with the airship pilots (who are always described as well-dressed, non-anachronistic humans) support this being a real thing and not merely mass improvisational reporting on Venus etc.
The other half of the debunking essay was giving real historical examples of what was seen in the 1890's in the USA, often at earlier dates, in other places in the world. Maybe I am missing something, but this research/evidence seems to support the theory that these ships existed and were potentially flown over the USA.
He cites a person reviewing the Busby book apparently doing some math to debunk the alleged size of the airships saying they wouldn't be able to float but 60% of an average human, but the math is crappy. Consider the Nulli Secundus, a real dirigible which flew in 1907. It was 120 feet in length and supported a small carriage for a few crewmembers. I did a quick search on the generation of hydrogen gas, just to a method for production was in existence at before 1890 (it was indeed, in fact in 1783 a flight was made on a hot air balloon which was filled with hydrogen gas released from reacting iron filings with sulfuric acid, a trivial reaction).
Thus, the descriptions of the airships from up-close witnesses are not impossible, but plausible. The physics are valid and a 150 foot airship could definitely support a few people, and the amount of lift provided increases exponentially as the volume of the envelope (the 'balloon') increases, so a 200 foot envelope could lift much more.
If I am now further convinced of anything, it is that 'mass delusion', while real, is rare at the scale of the airship mystery. There don't appear to be any examples of 'mass delusion' on the scale of the airship cases except tautological.
The author has done a great job demonstrating that airships like those described in the 1890s sightings did indeed exist at the time, and that it is no far stretch of imagination to think such ships might have been flown over the USA. Is it physically and historically possible that real airships were the cause of the 1890s wave of sightings? The answer is undoubtedly yes.
Thanks again to u/shangriLOL for this brilliant analysis.
If anyone has more sources or information that makes a decent attempt at debunking the 19th century airship mystery, please send them my way!
The Dellschau Dilemma
Charles Dellschau was born in Prussia in 1830 and died on April 20th, 1923. Dellschau's relation to the airship mystery is perhaps the strangest of them all.
I recommend the following for an in depth description of this enigmatic figure: The Secrets of Dellschau: The Sonora Aero Club and the Airships of the 1800s, A True Story.
Dellschau “filled at least 13 notebooks with drawings, watercolor paintings and collages depicting fantastical airships.” A single page of one of his notebooks sells for thousands of dollars. Continued from Wikipedia:
His work was in large part a record of the activities of the Sonora Aero Club, of which he was a purported member. Dellschau's writings describe the club as a secret group of flight enthusiasts who met at Sonora, California in the mid-19th century. One of the members had discovered the formula for an anti-gravity fuel he called "NB Gas." Their mission was to design and build the first navigable aircraft using the NB Gas for lift and propulsion. Dellschau called these flying machines Aeros. Dellschau does not claim to be a pilot of any of the airships; he identifies himself only as a draftsman for the Sonora Aero Club.
Although Wikipedia continues by saying that “it is speculated” that the Sonora Aero Club is a “fiction by Dellschau,” taken in context with the evidence overviewed so far, it seems premature to dismiss Dellschau outright.
According to UFO researcher Pete Navarro, who owns several Dellschau originals and co-wrote The Secrets of Dellschau: “The story of the Sonora Aero Club and their achievements had been cleverly hidden by Dellschau in his drawings using several codes and unconnected sentences hidden throughout the work. Thus, one would have to see all of the Dellschaus to understand the narrative.”
Dellschau's artistic subjects were invariably of airships, zeppelin-like airships that were seen over Germany during the 1850s, and later during the 1880s and 1890s, principally in California, Texas and the Midwest.
During the 1850's mysterious "airships" regularly crossed the skies of Germany and just before that, probably in the year 1848, Dellschau immigrated to the US.
Dellschau also made it clear that the Sonora Aero Club was but one such “secret society” attempting to build and fly “aeros” or airships, others being located on the east coast of the US. Furthermore, the activities of these various aerial secret societies were coordinated by a parent body in Germany bearing only the cryptic designation “NYMZA.”
The Wikipedia article also mentions that some of Dellschau's work ended up in the possession of the “DeMenil Museum.” John deMenil is remembered as a patron of the arts, but in conspiracy circles DeMenil is known for his possible connection to the JFK assassination, as alleged by the Torbitt document.
For more information on this subject I recommend NASA, Nazis & JFK: The Torbitt Document & the Kennedy Assassination.
In the interest of brevity (oops, too late!), I'll summarize by quoting Farrell:
DeMenil was in the circle of Eastern European exiles in texas that clustered around Dallas and Houston (obvious center of America's space program), and indeed, according to Torbitt was a leader of that community and close political supporter of Lyndon Johnson.
DeMenil, if the Torbitt document is to be believed, was a leader of the Eastern European exile community in Texas, and thus, this would have placed him in a position to know George DeMohrenschildt (Oswald's “handler” in Dallas).
Since this community was a large component of Nazi General Reinhard Gehlen's Fremde Heer Ost, this placed DeMenil firmly within the orbit of the postwar Fascist organization, which, as the Torbitt document notes, was intimately connected to Permindex (an alleged CIA front organization linked to the JFK assassination).
For more information on these topics, I highly recommend LBJ and the Conspiracy to Kill Kennedy.
There's another contextual connection to Nazis, NASA and JFK:
One of the reasons many advance for the murder of president Kennedy was his plan for a joint US-Soviet mission to the Moon, and his willingness to share whatever may have been found there. Kennedy also made direct inquiries to the CIA concerning the subject matter of UFOs, and hence, into the actual state of knowledge of the US concerning advanced science and technology.
Many assassination researchers believe that this inquiry, plus his willingness to share information with the Soviets, was sufficient reason to get him killed, simply for the fact that with the heavy Nazi presence and influence within American black projects at that time, they would have balked at sharing their secrets with their hated Communist enemy.
As for the German Dellschau, Farrell continues by noting the uncanny resemblance between some of Dellschau's illustrated “technologies” and E.O. Lawrence's beta calutrons that wouldn't be invented for decades.
Dellschau is depicting machinery, some of which bears too uncanny a resemblance to machines not yet officially invented, machines that, in turn, are dependent upon developments in physics that have not yet occurred.
He also referred to technical details that resembled aspects of the technology reported for the Nazi Bell, which is worth mentioning as Dellschau claimed to represent a secret society based in Germany called NYMZA, which supposedly was coordinating the secret development of airships.
Some of Dellschau's paintings-books were purchased by DeMenil, who has connections to Lyndon Johnson, the Texas East European Exile community, and therefore deeply connected to Nazi General Reinhard Gehlen's postwar military intelligence.
It is when these points are considered together that one must entertain the possibility that Dellschau did indeed represent some unknown group in Europe developing hidden aerial technologies, and that indeed there may be yet another, little-considered, connection to hidden technologies, groups, and the JFK assassination.
Final thoughts
It's often speculated that some of the more “fanciful” realities depicted by the entertainment industry are often based on some kernel of truth. Keeping that in mind, when I was first exposed to the 19th century airship mystery, I couldn't help but think of Bioshock Infinite, the entire premise of which is based on exotic technology powering airships in the second half of the 19th century.
I'll conclude by quoting Farrell's final thoughts:
The propulsion methods and lift generating technologies of the airships do not appear to be conventional by any means, since both electrical systems and compressible gasses are mentioned.
Significantly, within the same time frame, Tesla will conduct his revolutionary Colorado Springs experiments that will lead, within a decade, to his proposal for wireless transmission of electrical power, one purpose of which he envisions to be flight. This technology is suppressed by his financial backers, and similarly, the airship technology, which promised a revolution in transportation, is never publicly revealed.
While the historical impetus for the creation of a vast system of hidden finance and alliances between private, government, Axis, and criminal components began after World War Two, this pattern of secret organizations, private finance, and government interface began on a smaller scale sometime in the 19th century, as did the perception of the possibilities of psychological operations in conjunction with it.
Perhaps it was more than just a coincidence that one of the greatest psychological operations of the 20th century occurred almost exactly fifty years after the alleged events in Aurora. For more information on this fascinating subject, I can't recommend the following enough: Roswell and the Reich: The Nazi Connection.
What began in the 19th century as a secret airship program quickly morphed in the postwar era into a secret space program, one impelled not only by the need to reconnoiter, contain, rollback, and defeat the Soviet Union, but also by the need to discover what strange thing and entities may have been behind clearly hostile actions that were potentially threatening to the vast thermonuclear arsenals of the two superpowers.
And that, my friends, is a story for another time.
Mr. Wilson and possible means of propulsion
A “Mr. Wilson” also makes frequent appearances in many of these accounts, for example on April 21st, 1897, The Houston Daily Post reported how a father and son encountered a grounded airship:
We went to investigate and discovered four men moving around a large dark object, and when I hailed them they answered and asked if they could get some water. I told them they could. They came to my house, each bringing two baskets, and after filling them, started to return. I accosted one of the men and he told me his name was Wilson and that he and his companions were traveling in a flying machine. They were returning from a trip out of the gulf and were now headed toward Iowa where the airship was built.
[The ship was] 130 feet long and 20 feet wide. It was propelled by four large wings, two on either side, and steered by propellers attached to the bow and stern, electricity being the power used. The hull of the ship is made of steel and contains apartments into which compressed air is pumped when the ship is in action.
The ship carries a water ballast that is pumped to the bow when it is desired to bring the vessel to the earth and to the stern when the course is skyward. The workings of the ship were thus described to him by the man Wilson, who also stated that this ship was only one of five that had been built in a quiet Iowa village.
So what was providing this bulky contraption its lift?
The answer to this question is even more improbable than the descriptions of the craft and the cumbersome, awkward questions they pose.
Mr. Wilson appears again in a Dallas Morning News article on May 16th where this time he's accompanied by a “Mr. Warren” and a “Mr. Walters” who were sighted and confronted by a local physician, who gave the following account:
There were a number of incandescent lamps about the walls and hanging from the ceiling, and I immediately concluded that the motive power of the ship was electricity and so expressed myself to Mr. Wilson. He said this was not the case, but that it was propelled and sustained by a gas which had the property of great compressibility under a slight pressure and correspondingly great power of expansion.
He had invented a machine or rather engine that once started worked automatically and that one had only to attend to the governance which regulated the speed. I was not prepared wholly to accept this explanation and intimated as much in my expression of astonishment, but I was convinced of it when he showed me the apparatus for generating the gas and the engine for utilizing it.
This much I was able to understand: That there was a receiver made of aluminum (and of this metal the engine and everything connected with the ship so far as I saw was constructed), from which pipes passed to what appeared to me to be a square box, at each end of which was a cylinder with an exhaust chamber, in which worked a piston attached to a very singularly constructed driving wheel like the sprocket of a bicycle, except that there were four wheels, one within the other, and these Mr. Wilson called the accumulators.
There were two sets of such wheels with a combined velocity surpassing anything heretofore constructed. By the peculiar arrangement of the wheel within a wheel [Ezekiel, anyone?] the balance of the centripetal and centrifugal forces was preserved in the presence of 65,000 revolutions a minute; that is, the velocity of revolution in these wheels would equal 65,000 revolutions of an ordinary wheel ten feet in diameter in one minute if such a thing were possible.
The airships, whether they were made of steel or aluminum, certainly seemed nothing like the conventional zeppelin.
Secret Societies, Secret Financiers, and Psychological Warfare via Exotic Technology
In one newspaper report, “Wilson” claimed to be from Goshen, New York.
Wilson turned out to be Hiram Wilson, an actual investor in the airship project. He and other investors had worked on their secretive project for several years, and “had parts of the ship constructed to order in different sections of the country, whence they were shipped” to a rendezvous near San Francisco and there assembled.
Even the name “Hiram” might have some relevance, for in one contact with an airship pilot who was likely Mr. Wilson, the following statement was later reported: “If you will promise on the square not to reveal what I tell you I will give you a little history of our adventures.”
The connection to Freemasonry here should be more than apparent.
Farrell summarizes what we have so far:
-
Private investors, representations of the involvement of New York “capitalists”
-
Compartmentalization of the project by ordering parts in various places and assembling them at remote locations.
-
Some connection to the federal government
-
An unusual technology of motive power and lift, in some cases, electrical, and in the Wilson case, compressed gas of some sort.
All this is occurring, once again, at the same time Nikola Tesla will do extraordinary electrical experimentation, when he will propose a world system of wireless power, which can also power flight, and, within a decade, his ideas will be totally suppressed and forgotten, just like the airships. The concurrence of these events cannot, in my opinion, be coincidental.
Over the course of Busby's research, he determined that “Tillman” was likely Captain Samuel Escue Tillman, a professor of chemistry at West Point Military Academy, and “Dolbar” was likely Professor Amos E. Dolbear of Tufts University. In Busby's opinion, the major hidden capitalist player was none other than William Randolph Hearst. Busby concludes:
The body of evidence points to a true airship story of terrestrial origin, with test flights beginning in California in the fall of 1896 and proceeding across the country to the Midwest before turning south and arriving in Texas in April 1897.
A group of well-financed, secretive individuals, based in a remote California community, a quiet Iowa village, and a small New York town have left behind a wondrous story of daring accomplishment. It appears they did not just suddenly appear out of the thin mists of time but may have been secretly building and flying machines for over forty-eight years.
Why did such a technology not lead to a revolution in transportation? If the motive power was in some cases electricity, it wasn't petroleum. For TPTB, it may have posed a threat, or been perceived as not being profitable enough.
Also, it should be noted that two different descriptions of the technology are being offered by the occupants of the airships, and this raises the possibility that each version is only part of the truth, or possibly even completely fabricated.
It seems that whoever was allegedly experimenting with these technologies was also experimenting with the public's perception on a mass scale.
In other words, people were already connecting the appearance and use of an exotic human technology as represented by the airships with the possibilities presented by the manipulation via technological means of religious, psychological, and social expectation.
From an affidavit recorded by The Austin American Statesman on April 17th, 1897:
Difficult as it is to believe that these airships have been invented and are operated by men of the earth, even that is more easily believed than to believe that these ships are manned and sailed by celestial crews and portend the beginning of another dispensation pointed out by the inspired writers.
This “dispensation” pointed out by “inspired writers” to sensationalize and obfuscate the truth of these sightings and technologies show all the signs of being deliberately concocted by TPTB with elite financial backing.
With this in mind, it becomes much clearer why The Rockefeller Foundation funded Orson Welles' infamous War of the Worlds broadcast.
The broadcast was a psychological warfare experiment conducted by The Princeton Radio Project. The Rockefeller Foundation funded the project in the fall of 1937.
With the airship mystery, it seems that someone was a good fifty years ahead of the Nazi Otto Skorzeny who suggested that advanced technology could be used to promote psychological operations.
An addendum:
When former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld announced, the day before 9/11 in fact, that the Pentagon was missing a mere $2,000,000,000,000, the story was buried by subsequent events. We now seem to have the Fed admitting that it cannot find $9,000,000,000,000.
But the oddity of the numbers once again struck me...Why weren’t all these dollars showing up, long ago, somewhere, in the form of inflation?
Then, more reflection on the numbers: the Japanese Bearer Bond scandal involved a mere $134,500,000,000 in spurious bearer bonds, but, oddly, that just happened to be the amount of money in the TARP (Troubled Assets Relief Program) fund.
Then, in Spain, near Barcelona, we had the apprehension of allegedly counterfeit bearer bonds, and US gold certificate banknotes denominated in $100,000 bills, to a sum of $10,000,000, all neatly banded in bands with the stamp of Chase Manhattan Bank, and all in allegedly counterfeit strongboxes of a Federal Reserve Branch bank. A scenario that, to this day, strikes me as odd in the extreme.
Why go to the trouble of counterfeiting something so absurdly huge in denomination like $100,000 bills, and more absurdly, gold-backed bearer bonds denominated in units of $100,000,000 and $500,000,000, even if you’re intending to sell them to a “mark” at a substantial discount? That would be like announcing your presence on the international counterfeit money market with a fanfare and timpani beneath trapeze artists and flashing neon signs. “Here I am! I’m counterfeiting sovereign debt instruments and endangering your national security! Come and get me!”
Add to this that we’re told the “counterfeiters” added to the fanfare and neon lights by counterfeiting Federal Reserve Branch bank strong boxes, which is like adding searchlights to the fanfare, timpani, trapeze artists, and flashing neon lights.
So: total amount involved in the Spanish Bearer Bond episode? Well…lookee here: $2,000,000,000,000, the same amount that secretary Donald Rumsfeld could not account for.
Then there was the Italian Bearer Bonds Scandal…similar flashing neon lights, fanfares, timpani, trapeze artists, searchlights, all proclaiming “Here I am! I’m forging your national sovereign debt instruments and calling into question you whole financial structure…I’m counterfeiting things that don’t exist. Come and get me!”
Total amount allegedly involved in the Italian Bearer Bonds episode? $6,000,000,000,000.
Add the three bearer bonds episodes amounts together, and we’re beginning to approach that missing $9,000,000,000,000…actually, about $8,134,500,000,000 but what’s a few hundred million here and there?
So….Rumsfeld announced the Pentagon was missing two trillion dollars… a few years later, that exact amount turns up in bearer bonds seized near Barcelona, Spain. (And what was it doing there?)
Of course, the Fed’s missing nine trillion did not make the MSM in the USA folks, so that means, this is one to watch.
Mystery of the Filipino Bearer Bonds: No One Knows Truth About $300 Billion Bonds from Alleged Crash
Now it's Filipino Bearer Bonds
Filipino Bearer Bonds, a closer look: Part I Part II, with pictures Part III Part IV Part V
Here are some important details about this story: the bonds were dated 1934; the notes were signed by Henry Morgenthau; the bonds were found in chests and stamped with the seal of the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank; the bonds were purportedly redeemable in gold bullion; the bonds were denominated in $100,000,000 amounts; the bonds totaled some $300 billion.
Farrell elaborates on the curious nature of this case:
Of course, the official position is that these instruments are fakes. But it's interesting that the officials involved in the attempts to authenticate these instruments have pointed that someone is going to great lengths to counterfeit not only the bonds but the Federal Reserve Branch Bank strongboxes that they are “discovered” in: “For a collector, these counterfeit bonds are awesome because somebody spent a lot of time trying to justify their authenticity. It’s a marvelous deception.”
Here are some similarities with the case and the other three:
-
The bonds were based on circulating US paper currency designs, in the case of the Spanish and Italian versions, on the design of the US $100,000 bill, in the case of the Japanese version, a fictitious “Kennedy” $1,000,000,000 currency-looking bill and also in the case of the Japanese version, $500,000,000 bonds based on actual US securities.
-
In the Filipino, Spanish, and Italian versions, the bonds were accompanied by branch bank strongboxes: Atlanta for the Filipino version, Chicago for the Italian version, and Dallas for the Spanish version. The bonds were all dated 1934 and signed by then US Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau.
-
The bonds were all bullion-backed.
The Japanese version differs in that it actually received major US media attention, it didn't exclusively involve bearer bonds from 1934, but also bonds dated much later, the so-called “Kennedy” bonds, and it didn't involve US Federal Reserve Branch Bank strongboxes or chests, and the behavior of the Japanese men was such that it seemed that they wanted to be apprehended (after all, they were released!).
Farrell notes:
Additionally, the Philippines appear to have been the point of embarkation for the Japanese men in that scandal. And as the Bloomberg article implied, these bonds appear in each of the three other instances to have originated from some ring operating there.
(Hm, I wonder if anything big has been happening lately in the Philippines?)
This has, of course, called forth all sorts of speculations on the Internet from various quarters, with some linking the bullion-backed bonds to the Imperial Japanese plundering of Asia that began with the Japanese invasion of Manchuria, an operation known as Golden Lily.
This line of speculation traces the bullion backing to anachronistic connections with General Tomiyuki Yamashita’s role in securing this treasure at burial locations on the island of Luzon in the Philippine archipelago.
One may reasonably make a prediction there will be yet another such scandal, and that may indeed be one where more information is communicated in the process, not only about that possible hidden financial structure, but also about who is really behind the effort to send messages to that structure, for someone indeed is waging a kind of economic warfare against the West in general and America in particular.
An important point raised by the Bloomberg article is that the US Treasury issued bonds in million, ten million, and even one hundred and five hundred million dollar denominations. Well, it seems that either the media, or the US Government spokesmen, cannot get the details straight.
Consider this New York Times article after the Japanese Bearer Bond Scandal broke, which claims that the US Treasury only issued such securities in maximum denominations of a mere $10,000:
Mystery of Fake US Bonds Fuels Web Theories
Farrell points out an interesting mistake made by the New York Times:
Of course, the bearer bonds scandals we have been talking about have been bonds from the US Federal Reserve system, not the US treasury, a nitpicking point, but one perhaps indicative that the story, whether by the media or the government or both, is being deliberately obfuscated.
And speaking of the Philippines and unfortunate “natural” disasters, there's this whole can of worms:
Billions in bearer bonds could be lost due to Hurricane Sandy
Farrell adds some analysis of this curious story here: They're baaack: of bearer bonds, hurricanes, and shadow banking: Part I Part II
Were the soggified hurricanized $70,000,000,000 in bearer bonds on Wall Street any portion of the bonds from the Japanese, Spanish, Italian, or Filipino Bearer Bonds scandals? If so, how the heck did they get into the vault of the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation which is, according to the New York Post article, “working feverishly to restore the paper?
Why did the New York Post put a picture of a Federal Reserve bearer bond in its article? Isn’t the U.S. Treasury supposed to issue these things? Is the Federal Reserve doing so too? And if so, for how long? Is this why they don’t want an audit? Is someone trying to tell us, by putting this picture in the article, that the soggified bonds are connected to the other bearer bonds scandals?
Add this to the mix: Shadow banking doubled during crisis to record 67 trillion dollars
So there's quadrillions of dollars’ worth of toxic derivatives and trillions in shadow banking, quantitative easing, and so on. As the RT article explains, this is an area where institutions that engage in practices “resembling” banking, but which are not banks, can do so without regulatory oversight, essentially an interface between a totally hidden system of finance with the public world.
Then we have all that gold in the world (how much is it? Anyone got an accurate figure?) which some banks are trying real hard to reassure some governments it’s not really necessary to assay or audit (think Germany here). Looks like there’s not only been rehypothecation of a whole lot of gold but, as Catherine Austin Fitts and many others have pointed out, rehypothecation of all sorts of assets…
Now, what could one do with all that money? I can think of three things: (1) a slush fund for covert operations; (2) an endowment for a leveraged buyout of the world and institution of a global you-know-what…but even that wouldn’t account for all of it…the third thing I leave to your imagination…
Here are some further thoughts from Farrell about rumors of that Indonesian President Sukarno and JFK made secretive agreements to lease Indonesian gold as part of what some consider to be a long-range Kennedy plan to restructure American currency and finance: Banks and the National Security State: JFK, Sukarno's Gold, and UBS
Farrell mentions Neil Keenan, providing this link
Here's a link to the The dragon family lawsuit
Note the reference to 249 $500 million 1934 US Federal Reserve Notes, the same amount as the Italian bearer bond scandal.
Further reading:

Massive New Lawsuit Filed Against US Federal Government in Bond Theft Scheme
And check out this rather extraordinary comment on reddit from last year.
David Wilcock and Benjamin Fulford, certainly two very colorful characters, have also weighed in extensively on this subject, particularly Wilcock, but I didn't use any information from them so as to not muddy the waters. Fulford, for example, gives actual names for the two mysterious Japanese men who were released and never identified. They also go much more into the Dragon Family and Neil Keenan's lawsuit.
That's what I have so far. If anyone has anything else they'd like to add or if I've made any mistakes in this analysis, please share. This is really important and it's definitely not going away.
The Kennedy bonds offer some more food for thought, as Farrell continues:
I submit that there is a message being sent by this bond, and it is a message that works regardless if one views this strange securities instrument as legitimate or faked, for note the reverse of the bond: we have a clear image of the Moon, a clear image of the space shuttle lifting off.
Consider then the imagery and the message being sent here. A red seal of the US treasury only appears on American currency notes, United States Notes, issued directly and debt-free by the US Government. Kennedy was the last president to order the issuance of such money.
There is another message being sent in the bearer bonds episode...it has something to do with space. Why would a bond-smuggling operation, whether or not the bonds were real or counterfeit, be smuggling such instruments?
We may be looking at a part of the funding mechanism for a vast covert space program, with the “collateral” clearly imaged on the reverse of the bond header itself: space, and whatever might be found out there. Hence, the use of a red seal, connoting a debt-free money, might be significant.
We might be looking at a hidden funding mechanism for Mr. Richard Dolan’s idea of a “breakaway civilization.” If so, that would account for the virtually total absence of news coverage of the story in American media and its virtual disappearance as a story in the rest of the world’s media.
As Farrell concludes in his recent book Covert Wars and Breakaway Civilizations: The Secret Space Program, Celestial Psyops and Hidden Conflicts:
A more basic message is present: a hidden tier of finance exists, represented by bearer bonds denominated in extraordinary amounts of money, amounts that imply that the owners of such bonds are in an elite circle of wealth, power, and knowledge.
The Spanish Bearer Bonds Scandal: $1.64 Trillion of Federal Reserve Note Series 1934 Bonds in Spain Seizure
This story originated in Barcelona in 2009, and was scarcely reported on by the MSM or independent media in the US. Here are a few important points:
The financial institutions involved were in Terrassa and Barcelona, Spain; the scam was detected in Catalonia; they believe the origin of the scam and faked securities was the Philippines; two unidentified businessmen were involved; the bearer bonds totaled $1.5 trillion; $126.5 billion were in 1934 Federal Reserve bonds with coupons; $20 billion were in international Bills of Exchange; $1 billion was in US gold certificate currency notes, banded with JP Morgan-Chase metals bands of bundles of $10 million each; an unspecified amount gold coins were found. They were accompanied by a bronze strong box, engraved with the letters Dallas Federal Reserve Bank.
It's important to note that all of these bonds emerged just as the BRICS nations began moving away from the dollar, suggesting that these separate incidents are connected and are evidence of covert economic warfare.
The Philippine connection also brings to mind the gold supposedly hidden by Japanese general Yamashita, gold which in turn represents the looting of China by Japan, a potentially extremely important point in this whole narrative.
Taking both the Japanese and Spanish bearer bonds incidents into consideration, Farrell concludes the following:
Discrete steps were put into place by the American financial elite during the 1930s to establish a covert two-tiered system of finance, with the covert system being based upon bullion-backed currency and securities.
This effort was renewed after WWII with the addition of Japanese gold stocks looted form China during the war, thus enabling a vast, though covert, expansion of the American Federal Reserve's credit making ability. These hidden securities were employed in the funding of covert operations and projects.
The Japanese and Spanish bond scandals thus imply that someone else, some other faction external to this covert financial structure, was aware of this arrangement, and has begun to obfuscate and interfere with the stability of this structure.
The Italian Bearer Bonds Scandal: $6 Trillion In US Bonds Seized In Zurich, Said To Pose "Severe Threats To International Financial Stability"
From Farrell: More faked bonds seized again!
Madison Rupert reported on the story as well: $6 trillion in allegedly fake US bonds hidden in Federal Reserve Mother Box seized
From zerohedge, quoting from a Bloomberg article:
"Italian anti-mafia prosecutors said they seized a record $6 trillion of allegedly fake U.S. Treasury bonds, an amount that’s almost half of the U.S.’s public debt." From here the story just gets weirder: "The bonds were found hidden in makeshift compartments of three safety deposit boxes in Zurich. The U.S. embassy in Rome has examined the securities dated 1934, which had a nominal value of $1 billion apiece, they said in the statement.
And weirder: "The individuals involved were planning to buy plutonium from Nigerian sources, according to phone conversations monitored by the police." And really, really weird: "The fraud posed “severe threats” to international financial stability, the prosecutors said in the statement." Ok great, however one thing we don't get is just how can $6 trillion in glaringly fake bombs be a "threat to international financial stability."
Farrell continues:
The bonds were seized in Zurich, an important clue, for Switzerland would be a likely place to sell or trade large denomination securities on the international market. The bonds were once again dated 1934, and they were stated to be a “threat to international stability”. How could denominations of bonds that never existed pose any sort of threat to international financial stability unless there was a real exemplar? One does not counterfeit a seven dollar bill.
Such bonds can only exist if there is a market for them, and such a market can only exist if indeed there is some kernel of truth to the existence of such bonds, dated from that period. The amount seized in this particular episode of the Bearer Bonds Soap Opera was 6 trillion, and these were in bonds that were backed by gold. Is the amount of gold in existence able to cover such an astronomical amount of money? What is the actual amount of gold in existence?
That implication brings us to the strange allegations of Lord Blackheath, made almost at the same time as the bearer bonds scandals
Can you say “breakaway civilization?”
Psyops
It has been widely reported that molten metal burned at Ground Zero (GZ) for up to 99 days despite continuous water poured on them and numerous rain storms.
Supposedly, this is a smoking gun for controlled demolition. But, are these stories true?
The official government image of thermal hot spots at Ground Zero five days after the event
Assuming the data are valid, the image from September 23 shows no large hot spots anywhere, casting doubt on the stories of long-lived molten metal.
There are other reasons to doubt the stories of "pools of molten metal."
First, the stories of molten metal come from interested parties like the head of Tully Construction and Controlled Demolition, Inc.
Second, there are no photos of molten metal that we believe are reliable.
Third, there are no photos of the solidified molten metal after it cooled either in place or being carried out. There's no evidence of molten metal before, during, or after.
Fourth, the molten metal may be a cover story to hide the grim truth. Vehicle dust kicked up on a dirt road does not take six months to settle out. Dust from traditional controlled demolition settles out quickly, even after being jack-hammered and pushed around.
But the dust at the WTC was so ultra-fine that hosing it down would have been a wise thing to do. It is quite possible that GZ workers were not hosing down molten metal but were hosing down ultra-fine dust and the fumes of molecular dissociation.
Explosions
The use of DEWs on 9/11 does not mean some demolition variant was employed that day. However, controlled demolition is woefully inadequate to explain the nature of the towers' destruction.
Cold Fusion & Thermite
Steven Jones sabotaged the 911 truth, as he did with Cold Fusion. Steven Jones is an opportunist who was tipped off by "DoE informants" to help coverup the reality of free energy. The film "Heavy Watergate" has more information about the Jones sabotaging Pons and Fleischman and their cold fusion breakthrough.
Steven Jones' doctored image where he claims the bright-white spots are evidence of thermite. The psyop is to train the viewer to see "thermite" when they see this photo.
Where is the proof of concept for the thermite hypothesis? Where is the proof that thermite or thermate has ever been used to bring down major buildings in controlled demolition (not simply cleaning up debris)?
Holes
Every building that was destroyed had a prefix of WTC. There was surprisingly little collateral damage to nearby buildings that were not targeted.
Notice how straight the vertical holes were that cut down through WTC6
This photo highlights the depth of the hole in WTC6 - While there is abundance of aluminum cladding on the roofs of buildings 5 and 6, there is little or none in the holes.
The vertical holes in WTC6 (U.S. Customs Building) have the shape of cylindrical core samples in soil. What could have done this? Whatever it was produced vertically straight holes while doing little apparent horizontal damage to the balance of the interior of WTC6. In addition, the parking garage below WTC6 remained essentially undamaged.
Banker's Trust, a 40-story building, had pulverized dust and some WTC aluminum cladding on its roof -- plus some damage mostly confined to its lower floors - This same pattern prevails in other damaged buildings adjacent to the WTC complex.
This is surprisingly little damage following destruction of 110-story buildings directly across the street. Why is there no serious damage to the adjacent buildings above the 20th floors of those buildings? Such damage is less than 20% of the height of a Twin Tower.
Disintegration and pulverization into talcum-powder-sized dust above the 20th floors might explain this.
WTC5 on the left, the U.S. Postal Service building, and the two buildings to the right (north) of the postal building, have only modest dust and a few pieces of aluminum cladding on their roofs. A jet engine piece was found at the corner of Murray and Church Streets as indicated.
WFC2 had only pulverized dust and WTC aluminum cladding on its roofs - WFC2 suffered only window damage only to its lower floors, despite the destruction of a 1/4-mile high building across the street.
In this image, some debris has been cleared, but the pulverized dust is still emerging - If most of the steel from the upper floors of WTC1 and WTC2 was pulverized, then how much steel was really shipped as scrap to China? Does anyone have these figures or the receipts?
A view over the dome of WFC2 shows the damage to WTC6 in the center of the photo - To the left is the collapsed WTC7. Its debris stack is at least five stories high. To the right of WTC6 is the remaining north wall of WTC1 which leans toward WTC6.
Where did the wall go? Where did the top 100 floors of the north wall go? They did not fall on WTC6 or WTC7 because there are no steel wheatchex there. Some of the core of WTC1 remains, but where is the rest of the core? The amount of steel on the ground barely covers the ground.
This shows the vertical cut-outs in the center of WTC6 - To the left of WTC6 are the remains of WTC1. Note the fairly consistent diameter of the holes, which are essentially empty.
No collapsed floors are visible at the bottom of the hole and the heart of the building is gone. A bomb cannot do this. The debris inside the building is minimal and it all is at ground level, no deeper.
The base of the north wall of WTC1 is to the left of WTC6, and you can see the remains of a cluster of core columns in the center of the WTC1 footprint. The debris from WTC1 is almost non-existent, dwarfed by the remains of the 8-story WTC6.
Inside the 8-story WTC6 hole - The vertical cut-outs do indeed appear to go completely to the ground floor, with relatively little debris remaining. The evidence suggests that all 8 floors somehow were pulverized or "disappeared."
This image shows the roof of WTC5, with considerable aluminum and some steel wheatchex on the left (south) and top (west).
What could cause these holes? WTC5 is not adjacent to a Twin Tower, as WTC4 and WTC6 were. Thus WTC5 was less likely to suffer damage from the destruction of a Twin Tower than WTC4 and WTC6 were.
The remains of WTC4, a 9-story building, are at the lower left and the remains of WTC5, a 9-story building, are on the right - The main part of building 4, a 9-story building, virtually disappeared, leaving the north wing standing.
The main part of WTC4 disappeared with virtually no debris left on the ground. The "new" left-hand (south) side of the remaining wing of WTC4 is remarkably vertical and linear, appearing to have been cut straight down through the building from above. What could have made such a straight cut through WTC4, slicing off a large portion of the building?
Here is the north wing of WTC4, as viewed from Church Streed, looking west, appears surgically removed from the main body of WTC4, which has essentially disappeared - If WTC2 fell on it and squashed the main building, where is the part of WTC2 that did this?
Ground Zero workers near a stepladder in hole 2 in Liberty Street, identified here - The remaining wall of WTC2 is in the background.
In the image with the workers there is some strange "toasted" steel. There is a long red beam that rises from the lower-right corner that looks wavy like a serpent. Before the steel disintegrates, does it crinkle, become wavy, or shrivel?
Near the tip of the "serpent" there is a vertical piece of material that has a gold-copper appearance. Below the ladder, there are two similar gold pieces that are highly reflective. The WTC2 shows a strange pattern where the lower portion of a steel column is missing, but not its upper portion.
Was gravity acting up at that point? In the background, behind the ladder, you can see a section of intact sidewalk with almost no debris on it. This is at the base of the 110-story South Tower, yet the sidewalk was not crushed by falling debris.
GZ workers descend into the subbasements below WTC2 - While there is extensive damage, there is little building debris at the bottom of the hole. There is no sign of molten metal. A worker in the distance walks along a massive core column.
This hole adjacent to WTC2 is through sidewalk and pavement exhibits a number of anomalous effects - One example is the missing lower portion of that beam on the right end.
The three outer columns in the center of the picture have a strange flanged appearance as if they had unfolded, and they look cooked. It looks as if a steel wheatchex dove into the hole. The fact that you can only see the tip of the wheatchex shows how far down the hole goes.
The WTC2 columns are "pitch fork handles" at the lobby level, spaced on 10-foot centers. A six-foot person could lay between the columns with his feet against one column and reach out and almost touch the adjacent column. Large cars and trucks can fit between these columns.
Therefore the column unwrapping effect is huge. In addition, there are "serpent-like" steel beam remnants hanging over the hole and they look as though they stopped short of complete disintegration.
The metal in the lower right corner of the picture, with a camouflage appearance, looks deformed and dissolved as if attacked by acid. There is a large amount of material distributed throughout that looks as if it were run through a paper shredder. In the lower levels, concrete rebar is exposed apparently because the concrete attached to it was pulverized.
This photo was taken inside the mall on one week later - Does this look like a 1/4-mile tall tower crash-landed or pancake-collapsed into the basement? The mall is the first floor below all this steel, yet the mall was not crushed.
From Dust to Dust
The government maintains that the Twin Towers were each hit by aircraft and the subsequent fires weakened the steel in the upper stories, initiating a gravity-driven "pancake collapse," as illustrated here. The rubble pile should be at least 1/8 of the original building height.
There are many problems with this hypothesis. The most obvious problem with it is the near free-fall speed of the destruction of these buildings.
A second problem is the paucity of remaining material. Where are the concrete floors? Where is the office furniture? Where is the office machinery? Where are the filing cabinets? Where is the wall board? Where are the bookcases?
An illustration of what the actual destruction looked like. The rubble pile was no more than 2% of the original building height. Both towers went "poof."
It was widely reported that a substantial amount of WTC steel was sold as scrap, put on barges, and shipped to China to be melted down. But this picture shows how little steel was on the ground shortly after destruction of the WTC towers.
There is evidence that steel was transported to Fresh Kills Island to be stored. This steel may or may not have been subsequently shipped to China, but it couldn't have been a large amount.

The building appears to be dissolving into powder. We don't we see any solid parts of a falling building here.
An interesting detail is what appear to be "bullet holes," with dense perimeters, distributed throughout the dust cloud. These bullet holes seem to be at the origin of the rapidly-expanding dust cloud.
As WTC2 is destroyed, disintegrating steel "wheatchex" showered down on WTC3, the Marriott Hotel.

One of Bill Biggart's last pictures, perhaps his next to last picture
Bill Biggart's last picture. WTC3 was partly destroyed in bizarre fashion during the destruction of WTC2. Special thanks to Bill Biggart for this very valuable piece of the puzzle.
WTC3 was reduced to this 3-4 story high if narrow debris stack. A lower section of WTC1's west wall lays across the West Side Highway.
Most of WTC3 disappeared during the destruction of WTC1. The pedestrian walkway over the West Side Highway was connected to something that is no longer there. The remains of WTC2 can be seen near the center of the photo and the remains of WTC1 are partly visible in the lower right corner.
"Building vapor" wafts up from the WTC1 and WTC2 "piles" - Where is it coming from? It resembles steam off of a manure pile. It does not seem to originate from a single point, but rises over a wide zone, like a haze in a fairly uniform fashion.
Aluminum cladding and paper lay in the street, but where is the steel? And why isn't more of the paper on fire?
Why is it only paper that survived and not office furniture and equipment? Most of this paper must have been in steel filing cabinets and bookshelves.
The twin towers together had an estimated 30,000 computers for nearly 50,000 workers. So, 45,000 filing cabinets would not be an unreasonable estimate.
It is reported that 200 complete bodies were recovered out of the nearly 3,000 victims, which is about 1/15th. At the same ratio, we would expect 3,000 complete filing cabinets of the 45,000 should have survived intact. Yet only one shrunken filing cabinet was reportedly found
The destruction of WTC2 envelops lower Manhattan in a blizzard of ultra-fine dust
Dust covers an abandoned produce stand in lower Manhattan
GZ workers walk in thick dust atop the rubble pile, hardly higher than the lobby level
Ground-level view of the enormous quantity of dust wafting skyward - Conventional demolition dust does not do this.
In addition to the dramatic dustification of the WTC buildings, many windows appear they were blown out from the inside. But, perhaps they shattered without being blown in or out.
This image shows exercise equipment inside WFC2 where the windows are blown/shattered.
Traditional controlled demolition doesn't do this, this this and this.
On the afternoon of 9/11/01 the "rubble pile" left from WTC1 is essentially non-existent. WTC7 can be seen in the distance, revealing the photo was taken before 5:20 PM that day.
WTC6 from across Vesey street - WTC6 is an eight-story building and it dwarfs the rubble pile of WTC1.
You can see the remains of WTC1 on the other side of WTC6 (WTC6 is in the foreground). The amount of rust on beams adjacent to the hole in WTC6 is impressive.
WTC7 - An excellent job, for sure! No parts spattered on adjacent buildings.
WTC7 left a bigger pile than either WTC1 or WTC2. Note how small the people are relative to the "pile."
WTC7 was not completely pulverized. Note the wall-board that remained on the surface.
Clearly WTC7 was not taken down by conventional controlled demolition. However, the destruction of WTC7 appears to have been different than WTC1 and WTC2.
WTC2 "fell" first and the top tipped first, before it "fell." Why? It appears that this was done to minimize damage.
If WTC1 is destroyed first, it would be good to stay away from WTC2 (purple zones right and down) to avoid complicating the situation for the subsequent job. However, if WTC1 tips north, it risks damaging the Verizon building and WTC7. If WTC1 tips west, it risks damaging WFC2 and WFC3.
If WTC2 is destroyed first, it would be good to stay away from WTC1 (purple zones left and up) to avoid complicating the situation for the subsequent job. However, if WTC2 tips south, it risks damaging the Bankers Trust building. But if WTC2 tips east (to the right), it only risks damaging WTC4.
Because of its close proximity to WTC2, it can be assumed that WTC4 will be destroyed anyway. Similarly, because of its close proximity to WTC1, it can be assumed that WTC6 will be destroyed anyway. So, to minimize damage, the optimal choice would be to destroy WTC2 first, while tipping the top portion to the east, and the remaining portion of the building may be more manageable.
Stars Wars & Psyops
Many express disbelief that energy weapons exist outside of science fiction, until they're reminded of the Star Wars Program, also known as the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).
Energy weapons do exist and have been developed over 100 years, and most of this technology is classified information. It can also be assumed that such technology exists in multiple countries.
The evidence from 9/11 rules out a Kinetic Energy Device (bombs, missiles, etc.) as the method of destruction as well as a gravity-driven "collapse."
The "Bathtub"
The World Trade Center was built on terra firma protected by an underground "bathtub" or foundation ring down to bedrock seven stories below the surface of lower Manhattan.
This sturdy enclosure some call the "slurry wall" shielded the foundation of the Twin Towers as well as WTC buildings 3 & 6. According to Wall Street Journal architecture critic, Ada Louise Huxtable, this structure "…saved lower Manhattan from the waters of the Hudson River" (WSJ 9-28-06, p. D8).
Many observers worried about whether the wall would continue to do its job to prevent flooding but "To the relief of the engineers, there is no evidence that the 70-foot-deep retaining wall around the basements has been damaged or breached, although the collapse of the towers left one section perilously unsupported.
In the SPIKE TV documentary about the iron workers at Ground Zero, one remarked, "You know, it was amazing, it didn't really damage [that much] ... if they had fallen over sideways, could you imagine the damage to Lower Manhattan?"
WTC Station Platform after the event; this PATH train wasn't crushed.
On September 11 the bathtub mysteriously remained without significant damage despite two quarter-mile tall towers allegedly collapsing on it. How did the bathtub avoid significant damage despite a million tons of WTC material supposedly slamming into it?
Even if no material directly hit the bathtub, serious seismic impacts on bedrock would have damaged walls, wall corners and tunnels under WTC leading under the Hudson River because of motion similar to that caused by an earthquake.
The bathtub was not built to withstand such colossal impact, we may be assured, because New York is not an active seismic zone. Although a disputed number, each tower weighed an estimated 500,000 tons and the official story insists airplane damage and fires caused each tower to collapse symmetrically into its own footprint.
No bathtub structure could remain unscathed after a mountain of quarter-mile high material was dropped on it twice. The intact bathtub appears to contradict the official theory of a gravity-driven collapse in which virtually the entire weight of the Twin Towers would crash into the bathtub.
This figure show diagrams of the PATH (Port Authority Trans Hudson) rail lines from New Jersey under the Hudson and up into the bottom of the bathtub of the World Trade Center. The south rail lines that run from New Jersey and the north lines return to NJ.
The base of the bathtub is bedrock and the Twin Towers, rail lines and tunnels were anchored to that bedrock. If the bedrock were dramatically shaken, fissures in the tunnels would allow water to back up into the bathtub.
The Ground Zero site as of August 2006, showing the location of the buildings relative to the bathtub walls - This gives a graphic look at how large the PATH layout is within the big bathtub. The rail lines and platforms remain in their original locations, suggesting that the underground damage to PATH was not devastating.
This image shows Ground Zero and the big bathtub with the shallow bathtub in the foreground, lending another perspective. Some superficial damage to the top of the bathtub is visible in the foreground along the eastern wall, beneath where WTC 4, a 9-story building, once existed
The big bathtub suffered only minimal damage. There was no functional damage, only superficial. PATH trains resumed operation in November, 2003.
Outside the bathtub east wall and in the shallow bathtub, even the subway suffered surprisingly little:
Considering the devastation near the trade center, and the fact that the tunnels were only five feet below the road surface in some places, complete tunnel collapses were not as extensive as some engineers had feared.

This shows figures recovered from the Warner Bros. store at the World Trade Center mall kept at hangar 17 at JFK international airport. Roadrunner does not have a scratch on him despite surviving destruction of WTC 2 above him.
Earthquakes
Here is a similar diagram for the destruction of WTC 1 on 9/11, which measured 2.3 on the Richter scale. The data appear very different from the earthquake, with smoother, fewer spikes and with no distinctive S and P waves.
Most importantly, the amplitude of the 9/11 disturbance is less than half that of the January earthquake, despite a similar peak Richter reading. It is almost as if the data from 9/11 have attenuated, that peak movements have been reduced by some kind of filtering process.
Does this difference reflect real data, that is, differences in real phenomena accurately recorded? Or have the data been filtered asymmetrically or differently? Or have the data been completely manufactured? We do not know, but for the sake of the analysis we use the Richter values reported. Could they have been lower than reported? Yes.
Kingdome vs. Twin Towers
The Seattle Kingdome was demolished on March 26, 2000. Built of reinforced concrete, it had a 720-foot outer diameter, a footprint of 407,000 square feet, stood 250 feet tall and weighed an estimated 130,000 tons.
The implosion "created the equivalent of a magnitude 2.3 earthquake, with no vibration damage to adjacent structures." The Kingdome left a debris pile 30 feet high, 12% of its former height.
Each twin tower, by contrast, had 43,000 square feet, just over a tenth of the Kingdome footprint, and weighed an estimated 500,000 tons, or nearly 4x the Kingdome.
Both the footprint and the weight of the twin towers were an order of magnitude different from the Kingdome, yet the Lamont-Dougherty station at Columbia University only reported a peak of 2.3 Richter scale reading for WTC 1 and 2.1 for WTC 2, about the same as the Kingdome.
A reading similar to the Kingdome would be impossible if the twin towers were destroyed by conventional means (bottom up) because much greater weight would have slammed into a much smaller chunk of land and therefore would have shaken the ground far more than the Kingdome did.
Each tower’s collapse should have registered at least four on the Richter scale given two orders of magnitude difference between the twin towers and Kingdome dimensions.
The apparent fact that the Richter reading peaked at 2.3 and the disturbance lasted only 8 seconds indicates an extraordinary high-energy weapon was used top-down to preserve the bathtub and surrounding structures.
And where are the data from the other seismic recording stations shown here? Are they being withheld?
Careful data on the Kingdome demolition on March 26, 2000 are available. They allow us to estimate what the earthquake-equivalent impact of the Twin Tower destruction should have been. The Kingdome data are pre-9/11 and unlikely to be politically corrupted.
Bedrock conditions are important in affecting earthquake-equivalent (Richter) readings. If a structure is anchored directly to bedrock, its demolition will yield a higher Richter than if it were not anchored in bedrock.
Why? Because if not anchored to bedrock, the energy released by demolition is dissipated via the earth "cushioning" materials. If anchored to bedrock, the released energy directly impacts bedrock, "pinging" the earth directly without any dampening, allowing the signal to carry better to recording stations.
The Kingdome was not anchored in bedrock. If the Kingdome Richter value was a 2.3 reading transferred through soft material, a building with 30x the potential energy anchored directly in bedrock should have transferred a much higher signal to earthquake monitoring instruments.
Amazingly, the south tower reading of 2.1 was lower than the Kingdome’s 2.3 despite the tower having 30x the potential energy and being anchored in bedrock.
The difference in these Richter readings imply the Tower had only 60% of the potential energy of the Kingdome instead of the real range of 3,000%, an absurd implication.

Bankers Trust Building on Liberty Street, across from WTC2
Photo from soon after 9/11 - WTC2
This is Bankers Trust being taken apart. Recognize any "rustification" out there? There seems to be a trend for where the really furry-looking rust is. (WTC2 was across the street, to the right of where the first photo was taken.) That red furry-looking beam is incredible! How many years at the bottom of the ocean would be required to to that?
Why is this beam shriveled up? This seems to be a common theme. Note the holes in the beam, yet the white paint above that shriveled part is still good. It reminds me of what happens when you put a plastic straw over a fire; it crinkles up. This photo is from the Bankers Trust. Was it accidentally "infected" causing it to continue to disintegrate?

9/11 and the Hutchison Effect
Scientists See WTC - Hutchison Effect Parallel
Photographic and video evidence suggest that the World Trade Center towers were destroyed using Directed Energy Weapons (DEW). Many of the observed effects resemble those seen in John Hutchison’s experiments.
John Hutchison is a Canadian inventor and experimental scientist who has been working with “field effects” for almost 30 years. The Hutchison Effect is a collection of phenomena discovered accidentally by John Hutchison in 1979 during attempts to reproduce the work of Nikola Tesla.
Hutchison uses radio frequency and electrostatic sources. The Hutchison Effect occurs in a volume of space where the beams intersect and interfere. The results are levitation of heavy objects, fusion of dissimilar materials such as metal and wood, anomalous melting (without heating) of metals without burning adjacent material, spontaneous fracturing of metals (which separate by sliding in a sideways fashion), and both temporary and permanent changes in the crystalline structure and physical properties of metal samples.
Hutchison has reproduced his experiments many times and the results are recorded on video and have been included in a number of TV documentaries that focus on unusual scientific experiments. Hutchison’s metal samples have been repeatedly tested by scientists, including a group at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, confirming Hutchison Effects.
Hutchison has suggested that the techniques he has discovered and developed have been further refined by places like Lockheed Skunkworks, S.A.I.C. (Science Applications International Corp.), and also by perhaps other defense companies.
Some of the effects and events seen in the vicinity of the World Trade Centre can be compared to the observed characteristics of the Hutchison Effect. These include:
-
Weird Fires - The fires seen near the badly damaged cars do not seem to ignite nearby office paper. Some photos show firefighters walking very close to or even through the fires.
-
Bent Beams and “Jellification” - Samples that Hutchison produced show very unusual effects on metal. Sometimes the metal “jellifies,” turning soft and losing form, leading to severe bending or fracturing of the sample. Sometimes samples erupt from the center and sometimes they turn to dust, similar to what happened to the WTC on 9/11.
-
Ongoing reactions - Hutchison’s samples often show an ongoing reaction, even after the energy field is removed. This “non-self-quenching” reaction seems to occur at the nuclear level. This also appears to be happening at Ground Zero (GZ).
-
Transmutation - Sometimes materials subjected to the Hutchison Effect seem to change at a molecular or even atomic level. This could be the explanation for the apparent rapid rusting at GZ, where steel rusts like iron. Also, some photographs show unusual effects on the aluminum cladding used on the twin towers that look similar to effects produced on Hutchison’s aluminum samples.
In some of his experiments, Hutchison observed “spontaneous combustion” where “fires appeared out of nowhere.”
He also confirmed that Col. John Alexander and others from the U.S. military visited him in 1983 and filmed his experiments with a team from Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL). Canadian MP Chuck Cook and Dr Lorn A Kuehne of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) contacted him in 1986 and told him his work was “a matter of National Security.”
Asked about ongoing dirt removal and hosing down at the WTC complex (for years), Hutchison commented, “I think there is an ongoing reaction or ‘infection.’”
The damage done to the Bankers Trust (Deutsche Bank) building was repaired, but then they decided to take the building down. This evidence indicates there was a continuing reaction there. Rusting beams in the Bankers Trust building and in the temporary PATH train station also suggest ongoing reactions too.
Notice the similar "bending" in the beams from the WTC complex
Sometimes the metal “jellifies” - other effects are also seen.
A number metal effects have been observed in samples from the WTC and these show similar features to some of the samples made by John Hutchison.

This is called the "Cheeto" picture because the orange object in the lower left corner looks like a Cheeto. But, is this photo really what it seems? Note the exposed hydraulics.
Hydraulic fluid temperatures above 82°C (180ºF) damage most seal compounds and accelerate oil degradation. A single over-temperature event of sufficient magnitude can permanently damage all the seals in an entire hydraulic system, resulting in numerous leaks. The by-products of thermal degradation of the oil (soft particles) can cause reliability problems such as valve-spool stiction and filter clogging.
Some WTC pictures show cars that are upside down. How? One of the key effects John Hutchison has reproduced many times is a “levitation” or “anti-gravity” effect. Objects are sometimes seen to levitate or if they don’t, they disintegrate.
The Lift and Disruption System or the Hutchison Effect is divided primarily into two categories of phenomena: propulsive and energetic. The system is capable of inducing lift and translation in bodies of any material. That means it will propel bodies upwards, and it will also move them sideways.
The Hutchison Effect has very strange energetic properties including severely disrupting inter-molecular bonds in any material resulting in catastrophic and disruptive fracturing.
It is also capable of causing controlled plastic deformation in metals, creating unusual aurora-like lighting effects in mid-air, causing changes in chemical composition of metals (it varies the distribution of the chemical content), and other long-range effects at distances up to around 80 feet away from the central core of the apparatus — all at low power and at a distance.
Hurricane Erin & the Hutchison Effect
Hurricane Erin: A Manufactured Storm
Is there a connection between the “Field Effects” associated with hurricanes and energy effects involved in destruction of the World Trade Center complex on 9/11?
Hurricane Erin was "born" on about September 1st, 2001, and traveled up towards New York City. Hurricane Erin was the closest to NYC on 9/11/01 and was the largest on this date (although wind speeds were greater the day before). Close-ups from photos of Erin on 9/11 clearly show the plume of material from the destroyed WTC.
Although Hurricanes Katrina and Erin were of comparable size (Erin was bigger, by most measures), the media reported very little about the potential risk Erin posed around the time of 9/11, compared to what was reported regarding Katrina – even before Katrina made landfall.
The development of “super cell” storms and their structure is similar to that of a Tesla Coil (used to create high voltage electrical discharges). The electrical properties of large storm systems may have some similarities to those of Tesla coils and there is a possibility that technology exists to utilize or manipulate the energy in these storm systems for “secondary” purposes.

The day before 9/11, the Erin was a distance away from NYC and Cape Cod. The east coast was under a band of cloud cover that dissipated by the next morning.

Best track for Hurricane Erin, September 2001 - Track during the extratropical stage is based on analyses from the NOAA Marine Prediction Center.
Hurricane Erin track - According to the Canadian Hurricane Centre (CHC), Hurricane Erin entered the "Response Zone." A hurricane in this zone should presumably trigger a "response."
Erin was the third of a series of four "interrupted track" tropical cyclones during the 2001 Atlantic hurricane season. After re-forming, it strengthened to a category three hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, just to the east of Bermuda.
NASA Makes A Heated 3-D Look Into Hurricane Erin's Eye
Hurricane Erin raced across the North Atlantic and along the eastern seaboard in September 2001. She was used as an experiment for a study to improve hurricane tracking and intensity predictions, allowing meteorologists to provide more accurate and timely warnings to the public. Studies show that temperatures measured at an extremely high altitude collected from a hurricane's center or eye can provide improved understanding of how hurricanes change intensity.
Hurricane Erin was analyzed during the fourth Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX-4), which took place from August 16 through September 24, 2001. The mission originated from the Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Fla. The mission united researchers from 10 universities, five NASA centers and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. CAMEX-4 is a series of field research investigations to study tropical cyclones & storms commonly known as hurricanes.
Twenty instrumented packages, called dropsondes, were dropped into Erin's eye by two NASA research aircraft (the ER-2 and DC-8). The special packages included instruments that mapped temperature patterns. For the first time, researchers were able to reconstruct the structure of the eye in three dimensions from as high as 70,000 feet, down to the ocean surface, in great detail.

‘Progressive Collapse’ in ten-floor intervals
To account for the damaged zone, let’s simulate the floor beams collapsing every 10th floor, as if something has destroyed 9 out of every 10 floors for the entire height of the building.
This assumes there is no resistance within each 10-floor interval, i.e. we use the conservative approach that there is no resistance between floor impacts. In reality there is, which would slow the collapse time further.
Also, there was only damage in one 10-floor interval, not the entire height of the building. Thus, if anything, this means the calculated collapse times are more generous to the official story than they need to be.
The clock starts when the blue ball is dropped from the roof (110th floor). Just as the blue ball passes the 100th floor, the red ball drops from the 100th floor. When the red ball passes the 90th floor, the orange ball drops from the 90th floor, ... etc.
Notice that the red ball (at floor 100) cannot begin moving until the blue ball reaches that level, which is 2.8 seconds after the blue ball begins to drop.
This approximates the "pancaking" theory, assuming that each floor within the "pancaking" (collapsing) interval provides no resistance at all.
With this theory, no floor below the "pancake" can begin to move until the progressive collapse has reached that level. For example, there is no reason for the 20th floor to suddenly collapse before it is damaged.
With this model, a minimum of 30.6 seconds is required for the roof to hit the ground. It would take longer if accounting for air resistance.
It would take even longer if accounting for the structure's resistance that allows pulverization. The columns at each level would be expected to absorb a great deal of the energy of the falling floors. Thus, if anything, this means the calculated collapse times are more generous to the official story than they need to be.
‘Progressive Collapse’ in one-floor intervals
Similar to the previous case, let's consider a floor-by-floor progressive collapse.
The minimum time for the collapse, if every floor collapsed like dominoes, is 87-97 seconds.
‘Progressive Collapse’ at near free-fall speed
Let's say that we want to bring down the entire building in the time it takes for free-fall of the top floor of WTC1. So, If the entire building is to be on the ground in 9.22 seconds, the floors below the "pancaking" must start moving before the "pancaking" ("progressive collapse”) reaches that floor, below.
To illustrate this, use the concept of the billiard balls. If the red ball (dropped from the 100th floor) is to reach the ground at the same time as the blue ball (dropped from the 110th floor), the red ball must be dropped 0.429 seconds after the blue ball is dropped. But, the blue ball will take 2.8 seconds after it is dropped, just to reach the 100th floor in free fall.
So, the red ball needs to begin moving 2.4 seconds before the blue ball arrives to "trigger" the red ball's motion. That is, each of these floors will need a 2.4 second head start for falling -- before the "free falling" floor is triggered to drop.
But this also creates yet another problem: "the resistance paradox." How can the upper floor be destroyed by slamming into a lower floor if the lower floor has already moved out of the way?
So, for the building to be collapsed in about 10 seconds, the lower floors would have to start moving before the upper floors could reach them by gravity alone.
Did we see this? It seems pretty clear in some of the videos. The "wave" of collapse, progressing down the building, is moving faster than free-fall speed. This would require something like a detonation or destruction sequence.
Realizing that, for example, the 40th floor needs to start moving before any of the upper floors have "free-fallen" to that point, why would it start moving? There was no fire there. And, if anything, there is less load on that floor as the upper floors turn to dust.
In this picture, notice that WTC2 is less than half of its original height, yet has no debris that has fallen ahead of the demolition wave.
How could the ground rumble for only 8 seconds while WTC1 "disappeared?"
This part of the building surely took a lot longer to hit the ground as dust than it would have if it came down as larger pieces of material. Much of this paper is covered with dust, indicating that this dust reached the ground after the paper did.
There are a few tire tracks through this dust, but not many, so this picture was probably taken shortly after one (or both) of the towers were down.
If there had been a strong wind blowing the dust around, it would blow the paper away before it would have blown the dust onto the paper. So, the fact that much of the randomly-oriented paper is covered with dust indicates the relative aerodynamic properties of this dust.
In a conventional controlled-demolition, a building's supports are knocked out and the building is broken up as it slams to the ground; gravity is used to break up the building.
Here, it seems that the only use of gravity was to get the dust out of the air.
In conclusion, the explanations of the collapse that have been given by the 9/11 Commission Report and NIST are not physically possible.
A new investigation is needed to determine the true cause of what happened to these buildings on September 11, 2001.
The destruction of all seven WTC buildings and especially WTC1 and WTC2 may be considered the greatest engineering disaster in the history of the world and deserves a thorough investigation.
Free-fall time of a billiard ball dropped from the roof of WTC1, in a vacuum
Let's consider the minimum time it would take the blue billiard ball to hit the pavement, more than 1/4 mile below. Start the timer when the ball is dropped from the roof of WTC1, assuming this is in a vacuum, with no air resistance (note, large chunks of the building will have a very low surface area-to-mass ratio, so air resistance can be neglected).
From the rooftop of WTC1, drop one (dark-blue) billiard ball over the edge. As it falls, it accelerates. If it were in a vacuum, it would hit the pavement, 1368 feet below, in 9.22 seconds, shown by the blue curve in the figure, below.
It will take longer if air resistance is considered, but for simplicity, we'll neglect air resistance. This means that the calculated collapse times are more generous to the official story than they need to be.
The "Pancake Theory"
According to the pancake theory, one floor fails and falls onto the floor below, causing it to fail and fall on the floor below that one, and so forth. The "pancake theory" implies that this continues all the way to the ground floor.
In the case of both WTC towers, we didn't see the floors piled up when the event was all over, but rather a pulverization of the floors throughout the event.
So, clearly we cannot assume that the floors stacked up like pancakes. Looking at the data, we take the conservative approach that a falling floor initiates the fall of the one below, while itself becoming pulverized.
In other words, when one floor impacts another, the small amount of kinetic energy from the falling floor is consumed (a) by pulverizing the floor and (b) by breaking free the next floor. In reality, there isn't enough kinetic energy to do either.
But, for the sake of evaluating the "collapse" time, we'll assume there was. After all, millions of people believe they saw the buildings "collapse."
Note that the top "block" begins to disintegrate before the damaged zone starts to move downward
WTC2, demonstrating there is little to no free-fall debris ahead of the "collapse wave."
If there was enough kinetic energy for pulverization, there will be pancaking or pulverization, but not both. That energy can only be spent once.
If the potential energy is used to pulverize a floor upward and outward, it can't also be used to accelerate the building downward. In order to have pancaking, a force is required to trigger the failure of the next floor.
If the building above that floor has been pulverized, there can be no force pushing down. As observed in these pictures, much of the material has been ejected upward and outward.
Any pulverized material remaining over the footprint of the building will be suspended in the air and can't contribute to a downward force slamming onto the next floor.
With pulverization, the small particles have a much larger surface-area-to-mass ratio and air resistance becomes significant. As we can recall, the dust took many days to settle out of the air, not hours or minutes.
So, even though the mechanism to trigger the "pancaking" of each floor seems to elude us, let's consider the time we would expect for such a collapse.
To illustrate the timing for this domino effect, we will use a sequence of falling billiard balls, where each billiard ball triggers the release of the next billiard ball in the sequence by simply passing it in space.
This is analogous to assuming pulverization is instantaneous and does not slow down the process. In reality, this pulverization would slow down the "pancake" progression, so longer times would be expected.
Thus, if anything, this means the calculated collapse times are more generous to the official story than they need to be. Billiard balls are used as timing devices because they are identical (same size, mass, surface, aerodynamic properties).
The Jumpers
The so-called "jumpers" of 9/11
One of the most gruesome aspects of 9-11 occurred when newscasters reported that dozens of people inside the twin towers leaped hundreds of feet down, landing on the streets of New York or rooftops.
Such dramatic measures go against human nature because nearly all of us will cling to safety rather than plunge to certain death.
At the time of the jumps, WTC1 and WTC 2, despite being compromised by the impact of airliners, still provided a safer haven compared with the alternative.
Did all these victims willingly choose to jump, or was there more involved?
Particularly striking is how many of the jumpers were removing articles of clothing before leaping.
Think about that for a moment. Utter chaos is raging in New York, the building they’re in had been struck by an aircraft, and in all this insanity they decide to do what—remove their clothing? It doesn’t make sense.
Emergency calls made that morning from inside the towers reflect how extremely hot these trapped people felt, yet they couldn’t see any flames. Even stranger, those inside each tower were leaning against the walls of these buildings, so the physical structure itself wasn’t very hot.
If you listen to transcripts of firemen inside the towers to their dispatchers, they refer to seeing no raging fires and how they could easily extinguish two isolated pockets of fire in WTC 2. Neither skyscraper was consumed by a raging inferno.
There was no real fire anywhere, but an incredible amount of heat. People were actually disrobing, but tons of paper around them didn’t burn. Why? It’s almost like a microwave effect, where the food inside cooks, but the paper wrapper around it doesn’t.
Did the jumpers actually leaped of their own volition?
It looked like these people were somehow thrown out of the towers—as if they hadn’t really intended to jump, especially when they were flapping their arms wildly rather than being resigned to a fate they had chosen.
On top of that, these people were cast outward much farther than they could have been able to physically jump, as if some type of internal force ejected them. From all the photos, it didn’t look like they intended to jump out, but were instead caught unaware.
Looking at these images can be difficult. However, these people are communicating to us. they want us to hear them and they want their stories told.
One person appears to be hanging by one hand and one foot while attempting to remove his pants. Why is it so important for him to hang so many stories above the ground and remove his pant?
Hanging by one hand and foot outside a window at approximately the 105th story while removing his pants indicates just how important he must have felt it was to take them off. If he were trying to avoid the heat, why would he take off his pants, since they would serve as a protective layer against it?
Assuming their clothes were wet, likely due to the sprinkler system, consider what might be expected if some sort of energy field, such as a microwave field, had been affecting that area just inside the building.
Such a field might be part of what comprises the Active Denial Systems (ADS) that are now being used for crowd control. It is equally possible that such a field was part of whatever was destroying the building.
In either case, wet clothing intensifies the pain caused by such microwaves, as is acknowledged in an article about the ADS: "Wet clothing might sound like a good defense, but tests showed that contact with damp cloth actually intensified the effects of the beam.
Thus, the actions of people appearing to disrobe while hanging outside of the building are consistent with there being an energy field contained within the walls of the building.
In the debate over toasted cars, some have argued that the wrecked vehicles on FDR drive were damaged at the WTC and were loaded up and transported and dumped on FDR drive for storage.
There is no evidence that this was done. It makes no sense to load up wrecks, transport them, only to dump them in a busy thoroughfare for storage. These wrecks would have had to be picked up yet again and transported again.
If vehicles were truly moved from the WTC to FDR Drive, why weren't WTC steel beams stacked up on FDR drive as well, if it was such a good storage area? The motive for this speculation about shifting wrecks around lower Manhattan is to protect the official story or other pet theories.
Marks on the roadway suggest that some of these vehicles were pushed to the side of the roadway until they could be removed. This is a more plausible explanation for why some of the cars appear to have been moved from where they were damaged rather than all the way from the WTC.
The tires and even the pavement under the car are on fire. The windows appear to be intact with no visible interior fire. There is line of fire along the trunk lid. The right front fender is deformed and has turned white.
No window? What happened to the rear-view mirror?
Why is the rubber window gasket hanging outward?
Why is the paper shredded but nothing else apparently disturbed?
What blew out the windows without damaging the rest of the fire truck?
The window gasket is on the outside - What blew out the windows? What dislodged the front grill?
It didn't blow out just the middle portion of the windows; it blew out the windows all the way back to the frame where it was mounted.
What could have caused such extensive damage to this car? Has the passenger side shoulder harness survived? Where's the steering wheel?
Most of the 1400 toasted cars had some, if not all, windows missing. What would cause this? This picture shows a silver convertible with its top apparently intact but missing some of its window glass.
If the windows were blown out from pressure inside, we would expect the convertible top to have been torn or blown off. This suggests that the windows were not blown out by internal pressure, but may have been shattered by some other mechanism.
Why is this windshield crumpled up? Curiously, the interior of the car does not appear to contain anything that crashed through the windshield.
After WTC2 was destroyed there don't appear to be any fires
The cloud from the destruction of WTC1 rolls toward the parking lot
Just after WTC1 is destroyed, fires start to burn the vehicles in the large lot, but not the paper Why?
The vehicle fires increase in strength as sunlight begins to emerge through the clearing dust cloud.
The air upwind of the WTC has visibly become clearer - The vehicle fires continue increasing and flames can be seen.
The air has cleared after the destruction of WTC1 - This area would be first to clear as it is upwind of the WTC. The fire in the toasted lot has increased in strength, consistent with it having just been started.
The intersection and the grassy lot are covered with paper and dust that did not burn - What caused the vehicles to suddenly catch fire?
How did these cars catch on fire?
A view west along Vesey street across the West St. intersection - The toasted parking lot is on the right in the distance. This is after WTC1 was destroyed. Sunlight is visible on WFC3 (on left). Paper in the foreground is not on fire. Why are vehicles in the parking lot on fire at some distance away?
Toasted cars in the lot northwest of the WTC complex - There is little visible rust, so the photo was probably within a day or two of 9/11/01.
By September 23, the rust is noticeable
Presumably these cars are finally being towed away from that lot - Those wheels look fairly good which means they probably aren't steel.
"Toasted" Cars
One of the most mysterious and unexplained categories of phenomena that occurred around the WTC complex on 9/11 was that of the "toasted" cars.
The term "toasted" refers to condition, rather than cause, and is derived from the casual phrase "It's history, it's toast," meaning it is unsalvageable.
Although some of the cars did appear to have burned, paper right next to them did not. some appeared to have wilted, as if subjected to high heat, while their plastic trim remained unaffected.
Some vehicles appeared to have burned on the inside but not on the outside. Vehicles were reported to have exploded and burst into flames by spontaneous combustion, and others were described as "half there and half disintegrated." Some vehicles were flippe dupside down yet appeared relatively undamaged.
A reported 1,400 vehicles were damaged on 9/11, some of them as far away as the FDR Drive, about seven blocks from the WTC, along the East River.
These vehicles showed peculiar patterns of damage. For example, some vehicles had missing door handles or blown out windows; the window frames of others were deformed, their engine blocks disintegrated, their steel-belted tires left with only the steel belts remaining, while in other cases the front ends of vehicles had been destroyed while little or no harm had been done to the back ends.
Damage of these highly varied and extremely mysterious kinds cannot be explained by falling debris, jet fuel, conventional fires, or even thermite. What could have caused these kinds of damage?
Peculiar wilting of car doors and deformed window surrounds on FDR Drive
Notice the dust-covered car in front of and behind the toasted police car
Notice the two dust-covered cars under the bridge - How did the dust fall there? Obviously there were strong enough air currents to put it there.

What burned and dragged these cars and mangled the left rear wheel? Where are the door handles?
What was this thing across the street? Was it a car? Was it a van? What caused that line of burn marks on the hood of the car in the foreground on the right? In the left foreground, the remains of a vehicle sit atop a white sedan. Are we looking at the front or the back end? It looks like the front end and if it is, its engine is missing. We can see daylight through the wheel.
Many vehicles had their outer surface peeled away like a sardine can. In some instances, clearly there is more than peeling paint was involved.
It appears that the sheet metal delaminated as though something caused the material to melt or disintegrate at a certain depth. In some cases it appears that there was more heat damage inside than outside and vice versa.
What happened to the axles, wheels, and tires? On the doors, it appears that a heavy layer of paint peeled down from the top, yet the paint on the lower part of the doors has not been peeled away. How did the wheel get under the rear suspension?
The car with the flat tire appears to have "wilted" from heat, from the top down, leaving a peeling appearance on the back end. The SUV on its right is missing all its window glass except for the windshield. The vehicle on the far right has no trace of tires, no door handles, no tail lights, and no windows. Why?
Why does this ambulance have melted inside doors? The inside looks to have suffered more heat damage than the outside. What would cause that?
The following pictures document a wide variety of damage to vehicles, including total incineration of vehicles, toasted and disappeared engine blocks, steel-belted tires with no rubber and only steel belts, deformed wheels, missing grills, broken and missing vehicle windows and mirrors, no door handles, wilted doors, and unburned paper next to burning cars.
A badly damaged fire truck - Where did its engine go? The bottom of the tire has turned to goo below a distinct horizontal line in the tire.
A FDNY Hazmat truck in front of WTC6 on West Street - The remaining upper part of the truck has been peeled and evaporated in areas. The upper part of the cab is gone and the engine block seems to have disappeared. The photo was taken on 9/11 after WTC1 disappeared but before WTC7 collapsed
Why would the front of this fire truck wilt?
Is there something attractive about engine blocks? Why not gasoline fuel tanks?
The mail truck parked on the left side of the street looks burnt. Why? The building on the left is the USPS Federal Building and on the right is WTC7. WTC5 is on fire at the end of the street. Why? If this area is hot enough for spontaneous combustion, why isn't the paper on fire? The cars on the right side of the street are also toasted.
Why is this car upside down? A burned out SUV with missing windows and toasted front end is parked in front of WFC2 on West Street but will not be moving under its own power.
Cars along FDR drive were randomly toasted - These cars are at least 1/2 mile away from the WTC. Note the waviness of the tire tracks. What happened?
Wheels appear to have steel-belts from the tires still on them
The remains of a steel-belted tire without the rubber
The front end of this FDNY car is toasted and mildly deformed, while the door appears undamaged and the window glass is intact. The debris on this car suggests it was near the WTC.
While the bodies of these toasted vehicles still exist, they've been incinerated. All of the softer materials inside and out have disappeared.
This Toasted Interior was consumed except for the fire extinguisher.
The front half of car 2723 is toasted, but check out the new wax job on the back. Notice the missing front door handle and the untouched back door handle.
What happened to the top half of car 1250? The doors are crinkled up, but the rear tire looks OK.
There is extensive damage to the front of car 2723, including no door handle on the driver's door. There is an unusual, unburned circular area on the rear door.
Lathering Up
WTC2 blowing "smoke rings" while WTC1 spits out "sillystring"
Immediately after WTC2 was destroyed, WTC1 was lathered up. With the distraction of WTC2 going poof, perhaps they were hoping folks wouldn't notice?
These firefighters recognize there is something peculiar with this event.
Why is WTC1 lathering up? And why is WTC7 also lathering up? This is Church and Reade, looking southward. It appears that WTC2 was just destroyed as the street is not yet coated with powder. Later photos of this area show a fine whitish dust coating the street.
The phenomenon shown in this image is a reminder of "silly string." In the following picture, something analogous to "silly string" appears to emerge from the upper mechanical floors of WTC1.
The intermittent black fumes coming from WTC1 are a reminder of the smoke rings blown by a smoker. Normal fires don't do this.
Once upon a time...
Once upon a time, there was a building called WTC7, and then it went away.
It didn't even spill onto adjacent streets.
Hudson Department Store - Note the trees.
Looking West over the site of where WTC7 stood - The water shooting out of the Verizon building does not cause steam. The appearance of "steam" is where there is no watering of the pile.
Looking over the WTC7 pile from a window of the Verizon building - Note the dirt. This looks more like a Dagwood Sandwich than a "building collapse."
Looking eastward at the WTC7 pile from Barclay Street - The US Postal Building is in the background. Where did all this dirt come from?
Another view of the WTC7 pile from Barclay Street - That's not a small amount of dirt! The dirt piles are taller than the people wading through the dirt piles. What are they doing?
A view looking westward from Vesey Street. The Verizon building is in the background. Where did all the dirt come from?
The Dirt
Street cleaning began within 24 hours of 9/11.
Streets and sidewalks can be scrubbed. Lawns cannot. Perhaps this explains why they appear to have dumped fresh dirt on top of the dust in the "front yard" of WFC2, as it would cover the "fuming" dust. A week later, they appear to have scooped it up and hauled it back out.
Why were the remains of this fire truck sprinkled with what looks like moist potting soil? Clearly it didn't suffer from an out-of-control fire in these places. The paint above the tire does not look heat affected.
Why is dirt sprinkled on top of the beams? Those pipes on the ground have a lot of rust! They are located near center of photo, between the two guys in the foreground. If they were looking for human remains, why would they dump dirt on it?
Who put all that dirt under where these guys are standing?
This "dust" looks like fine talc.
Why would there be dirt sprinkled on top of the rubble pile?
Why would there be dirt on top of the plaza?
This was the pedestrian walkway over West Street, between WFC3 and WTC6. Why would it have a huge amount of dirt in it?
Why, more than two weeks later is the dirt pile in front of (the former) WTC3 bigger?
Perhaps the addition of dirt helped the pile appear to grow larger after 9/11. Does fire cause instant rust?
Clean wrinkled beams now get dirt dumped on them
On 9/12/01, Giuliani said:
We were able to move 120 dump trucks out of the city last night. So it should give you a sense of the work that was done over night. And so, some of the debris has already been removed. More of it is being removed, and it will be done by barge all throughout the day today.
From 9/27, these four yellow dump trucks are heading south on West Street, toward the WTC complex. Each of the dump trucks carries a uniform load of what appears to be dirt.
This appears to be dirt being trucked away from the WTC complex. Why is so much dirt coming and going? The four trucks ahead of the green one carry a uniform load of what appears to be dirt.
The large truck headed south appears to be hauling dirt.
WFC1, immediately after the event
Then, a few days later, the front yard of WFC1 appears to have fresh dirt on it.. The windows have round holes in them. They are double-paned windows, but the two windows do not show the same damage. In some cases, the inner window is intact while the majority of the outer window is missing. The marble-facade around the doorway is completely missing. The remaining building facade does not appear damaged.
Then, yellow bulldozers appear to be scooping up and removing all of the dirt from in front of WFC1.
Looking east, through the core of WTC1, there is still fuming from the wet dirt. Note the puddle in the foreground...What molten metal?! There are pools of water under a rainbow.
Why are they still hosing down the "pile" in March 2002? There appears to be dust still rising from the pile. Why? And why is there so much dirt, still?
The southeast corner of big bathtub is in the background. Why are they hosing down the dirt pile?
The southeast corner of the big bathtub again - Nanodust rises from the dirt pile. The workers are wearing respirators, not simple dust masks, six months after 9/11. The dust or nanohaze is very fine and does not settle out like regular dust would behind a vehicle on a dirt road. The policemen apparently are sifting through debris, looking for body parts.
The Cloud chase
A view west along Vesey Street - We didn't see or hear of any streets filled with burned bodies. So, these clouds are likely not hot.
This is a view north, across Pine Street, which is parallel to Liberty Street and a block or two south of Liberty Street.
A view south along West Broadway Street from about the Chambers Street intersection
Fuzzyblobs
"The slot." This looks like a "slot" is down the middle of West Street which is probably a ramp to an underground parking garage. There are several "fuzzyblobs" of blue-gray haze which appears to be a harmful material.
A firefighter near the right side of the photo is holding his nose, showing us that he senses and unusual odor. The fuzzyblob behind the yellow cooler drapes down over the concrete wall. The firefighter rubs his eyes while leaning on the wall, just in front of the cooler. Another firefighter runs toward the cooler (or away from what is behind him) with urgency.
There is a firefighter slumped over, down on the left side of the slot and he doesn't look very good. The firefighter closest to him looks concerned as he approaches. Just behind the concerned firefighter is another fuzzyblob. What is this material?
Trees
A fellow wearing a blue hard hat (and sleeveless shirt) stands down on the right side of the slot and looks over at the slumped-over firefighter with concern. Nothing about this scene is familiar to these firefighters. That is, a lot of strange things are happening, here. And why are the trees missing their leaves?
This is a view south from the intersection of Barclay and West Broadway.
WTC7 is to the right and WTC5 is the burning building on the left at the end of the street. The Postal Building is on the left. The Postal truck on the left side of the street nearest the camera appears fairly "eaten up" on its left side, while the Postal truck on the right side of the street appears to be undamaged. The Postal truck on the left has a fuzzy blob under its left rear bumper.
A toasted mail truck faces westward, parked behind the Postal building on Barclay Street
City Hall Park can be seen in the distance, across Church street. This damage does not appear to have been caused by a "normal" fire. There is no obvious sign of burned paper. The appearance of the back wheel area of the mail truck looks as if something radiated outward from the wheel.
It is very unlikely this mail truck was hit by debris, unless this debris did not follow the laws of physics and made several right-angle turns along its path to the mail truck. Curiously, the mail truck parked behind it looks OK.
Note the many leaves on this tree, as well as the light pole that looks discolored.
The discolored light pole on the left side of the previous photo can be seen between the fireman in the foreground and the pole he's holding. The top of that light pole is just to the left of his hat.
The car parked to the right of the tree appears to be the same car to the right of the tree in the previous figure. However, that tree appears to have fewer leaves.
It is not clear which tree this is. But, it is not doing well.
Venting & Fuming
What is in this cloud of fumes rising from the WTC site?
This is a satellite image captured on 9/12/01. It appears that the cloud emerging from the WTC site stays together until it reaches a particular altitude where it begins to just disperse. There appears to be a kink in the cloud trail where this occurs.
Photo taken from the ISS
9/13/01 entered, likely from 9/12/01
WTC3 - Where did the building go?
No longer "venting," this pile is now just "fuming." Most of WTC3 disappeared during the destruction of WTC1. The pedestrian walkway over the West Side Highway was connected to something that is no longer there. The remains of WTC2 can be seen near the center of the photo and the remains of WTC1 are partly visible in the lower right corner.
The toasted lot burns. Curiously, it's upwind from the WTC.
"Fuming" from the cars can be seen up West Street north of the WTC complex. The toasted lot is in front of the building to the right.
It appears that there are no cars on fire at the right side of the car lot. What was fuming in the previous photo?
Whoops! I guess that's molten metal under the sidewalks...
More fuming: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Nanodust: There does not seem to be a very wide distribution of dust size.
New Nomenclature
The 9/11 events were unprecedented. Research shows that the perpetrators used extraordinary means to conceal their modus operandi.
These facts create a need for a new vocabulary. Also, the use of generic language acknowledges that an observed process may not yet be well understood. This alternate terminology allows for the description of an observed process without unduly biasing the observed results.
Bullet holes, donuts & Blender
Dustification: General catch-all term of turning the building into dust
Energized clouds and rolling clouds
Nanohaze: looming dissociated material
Poof, poofing, poofed: Dustification of the WTC in a very short amount of time
Smoke rings: Segmented puffs of smoke, unnatural for "regular fires"
Toasted lot and toasted cars: Generic term for the odd destruction seen on vehicles, but is not limited to vehicles. A "toasted" vehicle means, "that vehicle is history; it's toast." It's a general term for an unknown process and does not necessarily imply heat.
Wheatchex: Sets of three outer columns connected by spandrel belts and look like "Wheatchex"
"Shaving cream" energy-level shooting up from an opening
The Snowball: A minute before this photo was taken from the southeast of the WTC complex, WTC2 (110 stories) would have been towering over Bankers Trust (40 stories).
Bankers Trust (BT) is the black building across the street from WTC2, and is between WTC2 and the camera. The building in the distance is WTC7 (47 stories).
The whitish mass of debris is round like a "snowball" and appears to be about all that is left of the upper 2/3 of WTC2. The lower 1/3 appears to still be intact with a little material having fallen below the snowball. This implies that the "snowball" phenomena has been progressing down the building faster than free-falling objects would travel in air.
Essentially no material has fallen below the snowball. There is no building above the snowball. Nearly 2/3 of the building is missing. It is hard to believe that the snowball is large enough to contain all of the missing material.
The Bubbler: This view of WTC1 (from the northeast) looks like a "bubbler" of dust. This does not look like a "collapse." Material is being launched upward and outward. The whitish material arcs over and begins to fall downward while the southern portion (away from the camera) appears to shoot straight up.
WTC6, an 8-story building, towers over the "rubble pile" remaining from WTC1 and 2. We know this photo was take before noon on 9/11/01. WTC7 can be seen in the distance. The Verizon Building is at a distance on the left.
This is a view from West Street, looking east across the remains of WTC1. FEMA entered this photo on 9/13/01, which is the earliest date for any posts for the 9/11 event. Other photos they have for 9/13/01 show much more people and equipment present. So, it is believed that this photo was taken on 9/11/01, but entered into their files on 9/13.
Smoke from the towers blows to the southeast and travels along a fairly horizontal path. It is not blowing up and it is not blowing down. It is blowing out over Brooklyn.
After the towers are destroyed, the dust cloud rolls along the ground and some of it moves upward. It does not appear to be moving horizontally or downward. The southeast tip of Manhattan is covered in white dust.
A view from the northeast - There is a segmented appearance to these clouds.
Again, note the two-toned coloration.
The cars in the parking lot get covered in dust, but do not become toasted with the destruction of WTC2.
WTC1 is still standing, so this is cloud is flowing from WTC2.
Toasting vehicles at the car park - The cloud from the destruction of WTC1 rolls toward the parking lot.
The cars in the lot at the far right, in front of the red building, are not on fire.
The cars in the lot are still not on fire as WTC1 is destroyed
West Broadway is the street just to the left of WTC7 and runs top-to-bottom in this photo. A particularly energetic dust cloud rolls down West Broadway, ahead of the other ground level dust clouds.
This is the cloud flow from the destruction of WTC1. The white dust that is already on West street was left by the cloud from the destruction of WTC2, 30 minutes earlier.
WTC1 has just been destroyed and the ground-level dust clouds have somewhat cleared the area north (to the left) of the WTC complex. Black smoke can be seen rising from the car lot. Whitish and faint dust clouds can be seen rising from Barclay Street, just behind WTC7. Stronger dust clouds are rising from in front of WTC7 (to the right) along Vesey Street and streets east of the WTC complex.
West Broadway, as the cloud was rolling through
West Broadway, after the dust has cleared
Burned out cars and bus along West Broadway - Consistently, they seem to have missing door handles, and the gas tanks don't appear to explode.
West Broadway, with WTC5 fire at end - This is likely just before WTC7 was destroyed. Notice how empty the streets are, while they are flooded with water and lots of fire hoses. Obviously the water lines weren't busted! The traffic light in the distance appears to still have power.
9/11 Enigmas
Some of the principal evidence that must be explained:
-
The Twin Towers were destroyed faster than physics can explain by a free fall speed "collapse."
-
They underwent mid-air pulverization and were turned to dust before they hit the ground.
-
The protective bathtub was not significantly damaged by the destruction of the Twin Towers.
-
The rail lines, the tunnels and most of the rail cars had only light damage, if any.
-
The WTC underground mall survived well, witnessed by Warner Bros. Road Runner and friends. There were reports that "The Gap" was looted.
-
The seismic impact was minimal, far too small based on a comparison with the Kingdome controlled demolition.
-
The Twin Towers were destroyed from the top down, not bottom up.
-
The demolition of WTC7 was whisper quiet and the seismic signal was not significantly greater than background noise.
-
The upper 80 percent, approximately, of each tower was turned into fine dust and did not crash to the earth.
-
The upper 90 percent, approximately, of the inside of WTC7 was turned into fine dust and did not crash to the earth.
-
One file cabinet with folder dividers survived.
-
No toilets survived or even recognizable portions of one.
-
Windows of nearby buildings had circular and other odd-shaped holes in them.
-
In addition to the odd window damage, the marble facade was completely missing from around WFC1 and WFC2 entry, with no other apparent structural damage.
-
Fuzzballs, evidence that the dust continued to break down and become finer and finer.
-
Truckloads of dirt were hauled in and hauled out of the WTC site, a pattern that continues to this day.
-
Fuming of the dirt pile. Fuming decreased when watered, contrary to fumes caused by fire or heat.
-
Fuzzyblobs, a hazy cloud that appeared to be around material being destroyed.
-
The Swiss-Cheese appearance of steel beams and glass.
-
Evidence of molecular dissociation and transmutation, as demonstrated by the near-instant rusting of affected steel.
-
Weird fires. The appearance of fire, but without evidence of heating.
-
Lack of high heat. Witnesses reported that the initial dust cloud felt cooler than ambient temperatures. No evidence of burned bodies.
-
Columns were curled around a vertical axis like rolled-up carpets, where overloaded buckled beams should be bent around the horizontal axis.
-
Office paper was densely spread throughout lower Manhattan, unburned, often along side cars that appeared to be burning.
-
Vertical round holes were cut into buildings 4, 5 and 6, and into Liberty street in front of Bankers Trust, and into Vesey Street in front of WTC6, plus a cylindrical arc was cut into Bankers Trust.
-
All planes except top secret missions were ordered down until 10:31 a.m. (when only military flights were allowed to resume), after both towers were destroyed, and only two minutes (120 seconds) after WTC 1 had been destroyed.
-
Approximately 1,400 motor vehicles were towed away, toasted in strange ways, during the destruction of the Twin Towers.
-
The order and method of destruction of each tower minimized damage to the bathtub and adjacent buildings.
-
More damage was done to the bathtub by earth-moving equipment during the clean-up process than from the destruction of more than a million tons of buildings above it.
-
Twin Tower control without damaging neighboring buildings, in fact all seriously damaged and destroyed buildings had a WTC prefix.
-
The north wing of WTC 4 was left standing, neatly sliced from the main body which virtually disappeared.
-
For more than seven years, regions in the ground under where the main body of WTC4 stood have continued to fume.
-
The WTC1 and WTC2 rubble pile was far too small to account for the total mass of the buildings.
-
The WTC7 rubble pile was too small for the total mass of the building and consisted of a lot of mud.
-
Eyewitness testimony about toasted cars, instant disappearance of people by "unexplained" waves, a plane turning into a mid-air fireball, electrical power cut off moments before WTC 2 destruction, and the sound of explosions.
-
Eyewitness testimony of Scott-pack explosions in fire trucks and fire trucks exploding that were parked near the WTC.
-
There were many flipped cars in the neighborhood of the WTC complex near trees with full foliage.
-
Magnetometer readings in Alaska recorded abrupt shifts in the earth's magnetic field with each of the events at the WTC on 9/11.
-
Hurricane Erin, located just off Long Island on 9/11/01, went virtually unreported in the days leading up to 9/11, including omission of this Hurricane on the morning weather map, even though that portion of the Atlantic Ocean was shown on the map.
-
Sillystring, the appearance of curious cork-screw trails.
-
Uncanny similarities with the Hutchison Effect, where the Hutchison Effect exhibits all of the same phenomena listed above.
One reason might be to inspire other Senators who might be on the fence.
After the crash of 1929, the Great Depression prevented Brown's father from providing further funding for his son's experiments, and Brown was thrust into the world of corporations and covert operations
Brown joined the Navy in 1930, and within a few months was promoted and ordered to report to the Naval Research Laboratory in DC. Here one begins to encounter the signs of deliberate obfuscation in his history and record.
What could possibly be so classified? According to Brown himself, he had his own private office at the Naval Research Laboratory, unheard of for someone who wasn't an officer or credentialed academic, and he was continuing to conduct experiments that “seemed to prove the concept of Gravitation which I had hypothesized at Caltech in 1923.”
Why would the US Navy be interested in just a purely theoretical concept? In 1932 Brown wrote the following to the director of the Naval Research Laboratory:
Increased voltages, leading to increased electrical field pinch and increased fluid flow, had now caught Brown's attention.
Someone was beginning to take Brown seriously, because when he was ordered to the sea for duty in 1932, the orders were countermanded by the Chief of the Bureau of Engineering.
Given all of this information, it should come as a surprise that Brown was suddenly discharged from the Navy in 1942.
In the person of Thomas Townsend Brown, we may have the perfect example of something who has bumped into the phenomenon referred to by Richard Dolan and others as the Breakaway Civilization.
Brown, who was thinking in terms of the relationship of localized gravitational effects and geological formations, was offered and accepted a place on a Navy-Princeton Gravity expedition to the West Indies in 1932. He was to be the assistant of Felix Andries Vening Meinesz, who today is known for his invention of a precise method for measuring gravity. It's obvious why Brown was chosen, for as Schatzkin observes:
Brown prepared the journal of the expedition, and apparently did well enough to warrant an increase in salary, a promotion to an officer, and a commendation as being “indispensable” to the Naval Research Laboratory.
Because of his connections to the enigmatic Dr. Vening-Meinesz, Brown earned a place on board the private yacht Caroline on an expedition in 1933 as the sonar and radio operator. The yacht was owned by magnate Eldridge Reeves Johnson, owner of the Victor Talking Machines Company.
On this expedition, Brown likely met James Bond, quite literally. When the Caroline docked in Nassau in 1933, it is alleged that William Samuel Stephenson boarded the ship. Stephenson, again, literally was the inspiration for Ian Fleming's creation.
In the period between the two world wars the intelligence operations of various nations were curtailed. Businessmen filled the void by their networks of contacts in finance, science and academics, and it's possible that the “Caroline Group” was one such private intelligence network.
Having been just promoted to a lieutenant, junior grade, Brown wrote to the Naval Research Laboratory, summarizing his experiments and requesting custody of all of the experimental apparatus he was using!
Photographs from the 1930's of Brown and his equipment raise the question: where did the now financially-strapped Brown get the money for the equipment? Was it the equipment that he had requested access to in 1933? If so, then how did it get there? Who authorized the transfer if indeed it was his equipment from the Naval Research Laboratory? Even Schatzkin's sources raised considerable doubt about the year and location of these photos, one even claiming that they were taken somewhere in Bermuda in the spring of 1934.
The strangeness continues when Brown apparently took what remained of his family's fortune to begin a non-profit corporation called “The Townsend Brown Foundation.” In 1938, Brown wrote to Denison University to ask if they could store expensive equipment in his home laboratory, some of which he used at the Naval Research Laboratory.
Schatzkin concluded “that not all the money in the 'Townsend Brown Foundation' was coming strictly from the remaining assets of the Townsend and Brown families.”
By 1938 Brown was promoted to full lieutenant, and surprisingly, again, he requested sea duty without pay. After being assigned to the USS Nashville in August of 1938, Brown recalled the following after docking at Portsmouth, England:
Schatzkin and Farrell expand upon this bizarre event:
