Did NIST Look For Explosives?

by Richard Gage (AIA), Gregg Roberts, & David Chandler

From the article Explosives and Thermitic Material Brought Down Buildings on 9/11

No. NIST did not look for physical evidence of explosives. In fact NIST did not look at the physical evidence at all, apart from a few selected samples of the steel. The rest was destroyed. However, physical evidence did remain: the dust. NIST did not look at the dust, but independent investigators did. They discovered, along with the microspheres, tiny red-grey chips. They examined samples of WTC dust from different parts of Manhattan. All contained the red-gray chips. They found that the red layer consisted of unignited nano-thermite. Ordinary thermite is an incendiary: it can burn through heavy steel in seconds. The tiny particles in nano-thermite (1/1000 the thickness of a human hair) causes a much faster reaction so it can be used as a high explosive. The discovery of nano-thermite in the WTC dust was published in The Open Chemical Physics Journal in April 2009.

The NIST Joke

NIST spokesperson Michael E. Neuman was challenged by Hartford Advocate reporter Jennifer Abel on this glaring omission in the WTC report…

ABEL: … what about that letter where NIST said it didn’t look for evidence of explosives?

NEUMAN: Right, because there was no evidence of that.

ABEL: But how can you know there’s no evidence if you don’t look for it first?

NEUMAN: If you’re looking for something that isn’t there, you’re wasting your time….
Wow. That’s a good one Neuman…

The Earth would still be flat if we followed that circular NIST logic.

Or maybe… did they know exactly what not to look for?


A New Investigation Now

Based on the verifiable allegations that NIST most probably has close ties with nanothermite and that they clearly never officially looked for traces of explosives, and based on the fact that unignited chips of nanothermite were found in large quantities in the WTC dust by independent scientists, we can clearly see one of the most important conflict of interest of our century.

This alone should be enough for the Department of Justice to call for a new independent investigation with subpoena powers. If they don’t understand that, we suggest they change their name to the Department of Injustice and Cover-ups.
 
Look, I don't want to pile on, I already stated my opinion about truthers in another thread. But this going on and on about thermite is so lame. Thermite is so stupid simple that I made it when I was in the 7th grade: 3AL+7FE3O4--->7FE. I knew that formula when I was in the third grade.

I don't see the high science here, just a man almost foaming at the mouth over some very implausible speculation. Its embarrassing. Please tell me you aren't a republican.
 
Quote from AMT4SWA:

You obviously have very MINIMAL knowledge then of the 1958 B of A first credit card issuance plan or who funded the Womens Lib movement (just to name a few PLANNED events of the MANY that have taken place through this period of American history).

BTW, do you know how many Patriot Act Bills were already written by several think tank groups PRIOR to 9/11???

Many events in our recent history have been planned out and directed well before final deployment.......sometimes their plans work out and sometime they don't. There is a lot of "directed" influence as to certain events in the recent history of this country, and there are very negative Globalist lead agendas in action.

There are PLANNED very negative agendas in action all throughout the world.....the US is not alone in the ASYMETRICAL PLANNED degradation of the citizenry!

Does the UK have CCTV cameras all over the damn place because of random events???

Did Monsanto push GMO crops and the heinous "RoundUp" herbicide throughout India just for the hell of it???

Was financial and economic dependency spread throughout europe, and a new regional currency created from a sudden "napkin idea" at a cocktail meet up.......LOL???

.....and back to the US!!!

Why were SO MANY of the top NANOTHERMITE experts in the US all selected as members of the NIST investigative team for the 9/11 WTC investigations......random??? HELL NO.......ALL PLANNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Top 10 Connections Between NIST and Nanothermite
by Kevin R. Ryan

“Q ... Was the steel tested for explosives or thermite residues?
A ... NIST did not test for the residue of these compounds in the steel.” NIST Responses to FAQs, August 2006

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has had considerable difficulty determining a politically correct sequence of events for the unprecedented destruction of three World Trade Center (WTC) buildings on 9/11. But despite a number of variations in NIST’s story, it never considered explosives or pyrotechnic materials in any of its hypotheses. This omission is at odds with several other striking facts; first, the requirement of the national standard for fire investigation (NFPA 921), which calls for testing related to thermite and other pyrotechnics, and second, the extensive experience NIST investigators have with explosive and thermite materials.

One of the most intriguing aspects of NIST’s diversionary posture has been their total lack of interest in explosive or pyrotechnic features in their explanations. Despite the substantial evidence for the use of explosives at the WTC, and the extensive expertise in explosives among NIST investigators, explosives were never considered in the NIST WTC investigation. Only after considerable criticism of this fact did NIST deign to add one small disclaimer to their final report on the towers, suggesting they found no evidence for explosives.

Do your eyes get really big and people kind of back away from you when you start talking like this? :p
 
Quote from 377OHMS:

In engineering school I had to take some electives in "letters and arts" and so took a few literature classes. The professors were these all-black-wearing dudes with extremely liberal political and social views and they were militant about expressing those views during lecture. That wasn't pleasant but I could cope with it and kept quiet.

What messed me up was that we had to write a series of term papers and I noticed that I would get the same grade if I spent the whole semester researching and writing as I would get for a paper that I wrote at 4AM the morning it was due. It turned out they were grading students based upon the degree to which they adopted the political ideas of the professors and the extent the student manifested those views in their term papers.

So I just knocked out all subsequent assignments early the morning they were due. I have never seen such subjective grading. I peppered those papers with a few of their slogans and got by. What a bunch of seriously useless people. They create nothing and added nothing to the books we read.

In engineering there was a certain fairness because the answer was the answer and you either solved the problem or you didn't. Sometimes if you couldn't solve a problem you could derive one of the needed expressions from first principles and perhaps get some points for work. Sometimes I pissed my friends off by getting partial credit on an exam problem by deriving something completely unrelated lol. :)

I remember one exam with 10 problems and nobody solved any of them, people managed some work on one problem out of the 10. It was a supreme bitch but it was fair.

I've never had any use for liberal arts majors since.

Same thing here. Had to leave the EE building to take an elective. It was tough because everything was SO subjective. No data points, no falsification, nothing. The first time I found a hole in a professors theory and I wrote a paper on it. He gave me a D without telling me why. I went to the Dean. He did nothing, but he did tell me to retake the class and to go along to get along. I did, and got an A by basically parroting what this woman had said, none of which was falsifiable. I learned fast that outside of the hard sciences, whoever is in charge is who determines what is true.

It is sad, but a lot of these kids will come out with degrees and messed up heads.

Edit: And another thing REALLY different was this multiple choice stuff. I had a physics II teacher who would give 2 question tests. That's right, 2 questions. Miss one, and guess what?

There were tests that NO ONE passed. Funny thing though, if you got through his class, Physics III, was comedy.

American tertiary education is still the best in the world, its the dumbed down high school kids who are the problem. Back at Cornell, I knew many kids from foreign countries who got 800/800 for their SAT maths component and they were shocked when i told them what the average was. They were like, wtf how can anyone not get 800. Ironically, it is the foreign immigrants who continue to keep the highest levels of american research and innovation alive, kept alive by the American dream. Just look at the Nobel prize winners, many are basically foreigners born in Europe, Asia etc, but are tenured to an American university.Most of the natives have become dumbed down, drunk on reality TV.

On Bill O'Reilly's The Factor this week, there was a guy who had written a book about the state of college education in America... made the point that conservative students had to spew back the Leftist bilge they are taught by professors or have their grade significantly marked down... sad. :(

you might want to think long and hard about how you rationalize these two statements:

"However, I choose Pascal's Wager.

I believe in a God because it is the logical thing to do. If there is no God, I lost nothing. If there is, I gained everything."
 
I had a professor that decided to give me zero pts for all the work I turned in [written from a very conservative viewpoint] after the last day to drop a class without penalty... he didn't know that I knew how to game the computerized system and I dropped the class with no penalty anyhow... so a friend in the counseling offices told me the guy was raising hell about that...

These leftist bastards are ruthless in the acquisition of power and that is about all you have to know about them other than they are weak kneed when it comes to dealing with evil [because they can't tell right from wrong that much]
