good to see you guys !
i think of the event as having about 5 primary facets.
one was the use of war-games to move military assets far enough away that they wouldn't be able to interfere with Israel's plans.
the war games were managed out of Cheney's office. i think Ruppert does the best job of researching this - despite his subsequent proclamation that we ignore huge pieces of evidence ... like the demolition.

2 the subject of foreknowledge.
that i know of, Paul Thompson at Coop. Research did the best job of investigating this. i downloaded his old site before it was taken over by History Commons. now if i could just find the download !? it's next to the silver in the lake. 8)

3. the Silverstein Mafia - management of the World Trade Center site. demolition teams need access to buildings. it helps if the insurance company doesn't ask awkward questions. etc.
very well explained in the thread at TIU

4. the Silverstein Mafia - make damn sure the planes hit the buildings. management of this task is a big job itself. talk about mission critical. it would be no good if the nervous Muslim airplane hijackers drove the plane into the Empire State Building.
incidentally, at the time of 9-11 i worked for a defense contractor that had the primary contract for the F-22 avionics (airborne electronics), as a design engineer. i brought up the subject of "fly-by-wire" (remote control) in the lunchroom several times.
the answer from the electricals (i'm electro-mechanical) was that "oh yeah all the planes have that, they've had it for 20 years".
anyway, someone had to manage that. i guess it was basically Israel.
5. Israel did the building demolitions.

i think Jim Hoffman at that WTC7.net website does a good job of explaining the demolition from a physicist's point of view.
i've met him; he is scary smart. he used civil engineering textbooks to look up the amount of energy needed to turn 300,000 tons (or whatever, he actually looked it up) of concrete into dust.
it takes a LOT of energy to turn concrete into powder.
another perspective is to look at the amount of energy it takes to raise the temperature of steel to half its melting temperature, as was claimed in one of the official US government proclamations.
it's up to me to prove it, but from a lifetime of metalworking & engineering experience, i know the little "poof" of the 10,000 tons of jet fuel was nothing compared to 100's of thousands of tons of steel. like holding a lighter up to a cast iron frying pan - it doesn't get very hot.
the solution involves looking at the thermal capacity of steel - and the energy content of jet fuel.
also there would be some conduction of heat along the steel structure, down to the ground, which typically runs 55 degrees F, once you get a few feet underground.
what i would like to do with that is do the calc's, and then explain it, so that other people can step through the calculations themselves & don't have to take my word for it.
Task #6. Damage control - controlling the media, shutting down websites like GIM.
