The Official Narrative
On the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001, a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks occurred by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda on the United States. Four passenger airliners operated by two major U.S. passenger air carriers (United Airlines and American Airlines)—all of which departed from airports in the northeastern United States bound for California—were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists. Two of the planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Within an hour and 42 minutes, both 110-story towers collapsed, with debris and the resulting fires causing partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the World Trade Center complex, including the 47-story 7 World Trade Center (WTC 7) tower. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon (the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense) in Arlington County, Virginia, leading to a partial collapse of the building's western side. The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed into a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after its passengers tried to overcome the hijackers. The attacks killed 2,996 people (including 343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement officers), injured over 6,000 others, and caused at least $10 billion in property and infrastructure damage and $3 trillion in total costs.
WTC 7: The Smoking Gun
The 47-story World Trade Center Building 7, which was not struck by an airplane, was the third building that failed and collapsed on September 11, 2001. The six-year investigation that was launched by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) concluded that the failure and total collapse of a steel-framed high-rise occurred primarily due to fire. However, fifteen years after the event a growing number of architects, engineers, and scientists are unconvinced by that explanation. The only other phenomenon capable of collapsing such buildings completely has been by way of a procedure known as controlled demolition, where by explosives or other devices are used to bring down a structure intentionally (Jones, Korol, Szamboti, & Walter, 2017).
The complete collapse of WTC 7 at 5:20 PM on September 11, 2001 shown in the image above, is remarkable because it exemplified all the signature features of an implosion:
Given the features of the collapse, any investigation adhering to the scientific method should have seriously considered the controlled demolition hypothesis. Instead, NIST began it's investigation with the predetermined conclusion that the collapse was caused by fires. NIST was able to arrive at this conclusion by omitting or misrepresenting critical structural features in its computer modelling. NIST’s computer model fails to replicate the observed collapse, instead showing large deformations to the exterior that are not mirrored in the actual event and showing no period of free fall. Unfortunately, NIST’s computer modelling cannot be independently verified because NIST has refused to release a large portion of its modelling data on the premise that doing so “might jeopardize public safety” (Jones, Korol, Szamboti, & Walter, 2017).
- The building dropped in absolute free fall for the first 2.25 seconds of its descent over a distance of 32 meters or eight stories.
- Its transition from equilibrium to free fall was sudden, occurring in approximately one-half second.
- It fell symmetrically straight down.
- Its steel frame was almost entirely dismembered and deposited mostly inside the building’s footprint, while most of its concrete was pulverized into tiny particles.
- Finally, the collapse was rapid, occurring in less than seven seconds.

Architects and Engineers Speak Out on 9/11
"But Someone would have talked": 9/11 Whistleblowers
“But someone would have talked,” say the self-styled skeptics who believe the government’s official conspiracy theory of 9/11. But there’s a problem with this logically fallacious non-argument. “Someone” did talk. In fact, numerous people have come out to blow the whistle on the events of September 11, 2001, and the cover-up that surrounds those events. These are the stories of the 9/11 Whistleblowers.
WTC 7 Witness, Barry Jennings Interview
Barry Jennings was an important eyewitness to the events of 9/11. At the time, he was the Deputy Director of the Emergency Services Department for the New York City Housing Authority. Barry and Michael Hess, the New York City Corporation Counsel (an associate of Rudy Giuliani), were rescued from WTC Building 7 before it collapsed at 5:20 p.m. On several occasions, Jennings stated that an explosion trapped them in WTC Building 7 (before the collapses of WTC 1 & 2) and that explosions occurred throughout the building until they were saved after attracting the attention of a team of firefighters through a broken 8th floor window. Jennings reportedly died in 2008, in highly suspicious circumstances. Below is an video interview with Barry Jennings.
As for eyewitness accounts, some 156 witnesses, including 135 first responders, have been documented as saying that they saw, heard, and/or felt explosions prior to and/or during the collapses (MacQueen, 2013). Several fire chiefs on the scene thought the collapse of the Towers was impossible, an agreed consensus among the FDNY personnel. Some comments include (MacQueen, 2006):
“...it took me a long time before I could accept the fact that even after you could see that the tower wasn't there you said it had to be there somewhere. You couldn’t believe that it had come down.” (Captain Michael Donovan, 9110205)
“I was kind of in disbelief that the building was actually collapsing. I kind of stopped to say, well, maybe that was a piece of the facade. I couldn’t believe that the entire building was going to collapse in one heap.” (Captain Charles Clarke, 9110250)
“Once again, I’m doing this 23 years...This changed all the rules. This changed all the rules. This went from a structure to a wafer in seconds, in seconds. I couldn’t believe the speed of that tower coming down. I heard the rumble, I looked up, debris was already 50 feet from the ground...” (Sergeant James Canham, 9110370)
“I’ve worked in Manhattan my whole career in high rises and everything else...you looked back, all you see--you know how fast those buildings came down...it just doesn’t click that these buildings can come down...you just couldn’t believe that those buildings could come down...there’s no history of these buildings falling down.” (Lieutenant Warren Smith, 9110223)
Interestingly enough, researchers in 2009 analyzed the dust from the collapse of the world trade centers, using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (XEDS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and discover thermitic material. Thermite that available commercially behaves as a incendiary when ignited, however the researchers observed small iron oxide particles that qualify to be characterized as nano-thermite or super-thermite. Nano-thermite reacts very rapidly, even explosively (Harrit et al., 2009). These observations can explain the account of Barry Jennings as he witnessed and described explosions.

9/11 Suspects
from the Corbett Report:
9/11 was a crime. This should not be a controversial statement, but given how 9/11 was framed as a terrorist attack or even an “act of war” from the very moment that it occurred, it somehow is. If we lived in a world of truth and justice, 9/11 would have been approached as a crime to be solved rather than an attack to be responded to. Unfortunately we don’t live in such a world, but let’s imagine for a moment that we did. If there were some crusading District Attorney who actually wanted to prosecute the crimes of 9/11, how would he begin? Where would he start to unravel a plot so immense, one involving so many layers of obfuscation and the active collusion of some of the most powerful members of the perennial ruling class of America, the deep state?
Like the prosecution of a mafia kingpin, it is highly unlikely that a prosecutor would put the suspected mastermind of the plot on trial first. Such a vast and intricate operation would be picked apart from the outside, starting with people on the periphery of the plot who could be forced to testify under oath and who could provide leads further up the ladder. As more and more of the picture is filled in, the case against the inner clique who ran the operation would begin to strengthen, and gradually more and more central figures could be brought to trial.
As I say, if the events of the last 15 years have taught us anything it is that we do not live in such a world. But still, we are trying the crimes of 9/11 in the court of public opinion and there are still untold millions who think of 9/11 truth as a fringe movement driven by rash speculation and unwarranted leaps of logic. What if we “prosecuted” some of these peripheral figures, the ones who are demonstrably and provably involved in the events of that day or the cover up of those crimes, in that court of public opinion?
Over the nine years of The Corbett Report’s existence we have looked at many figures who no doubt feature more prominently in the 9/11 plot itself from an operational standpoint: Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Larry Silverstein, Dov Zakheim, Paul Bremer, Richard Armitage. Today we will look at some of the other suspects in that crime; not ringleaders or masterminds, not even people who were likely to know about the plot ahead of time. But those who helped cover up those crimes for the real perpetrators."
Below is a compiled audio & video podcast of James Corbett's 9/11 Suspect series (video format is broken into individual suspect videos). The people discussed in the 9/11 Suspect series are not the masterminds behind the events of 9/11, rather they are people who are documentably and provably involved in the crimes of that day, either committing or covering them up.

As With Any Investigation: Follow The Money
Forget for one moment everything you’ve been told about September 11, 2001. 9/11 was a crime. And as with any crime, there is one overriding imperative that detectives must follow to identify the perpetrators: follow the money. This is an investigation of the 9/11 money trail.
Loose Change
Loose Change is a series of films released between 2005 and 2009, written and directed by Dylan Avery and produced by Korey Rowe, Jason Bermas, and Matthew Brown. Loose Change asserts that the events that took place on September 11, 2001 were of a false flag attack.
Why is 9/11 Truth Important?
- The PATRIOT Act
- The Department of Homeland Security
- The NSA panopticon
- The militarization of Police State USA
- The occupation of Afghanistan
- The ongoing war on terror
- The continuing disintegration of the Middle East
- The continuing collusion and corruption
These are the products, among others, that perpetuated via the events that took place on September 11, 2001. The events allowed the U.S. government to fulfill its "problem, reaction, solution" strategy. General Wesley Clark speaks out about how the nation's status of continuous war, was planned specifically to target seven countries in five years - Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran. These wars are currently occurring today. As General Wesley Clark also mentions, America is really good at overthrowing other nations.
Without doubt, the perpetual war status of the United States influences environment, and perhaps the food and health to varying degrees. So many issues stem from this event taking place. Being aware to the true perpetrators behind the 9/11 attacks shed's light on the how the system operates, and can hopefully allow the prevention or at least some foresight of a future event, as well as to properly hold those accountable. Collectively, we as individuals have the responsibility to be aware of the corruption within the government that is supposed to represent us as a nation. As one of the most powerful nations, the United States influences the world in so many directions and magnitudes. Rather than being dependent on the government, we must become interdependent as a community. This is not a pipe dream, there are many examples of solutions that are taking place right now. However, being aware of the events and lies that took place on September 11, 2001 is a critical step in accepting that the United States government (obviously, not everyone person that is employed in the government is aware or participated in these events) is not a system that we should be supporting and/or participating in. If you tolerate these lies, the future generations will be next. Awareness is the first step towards progressive change.
Cognitive Dissonance and Denial
At this point, there is abundant amount of evidence that disproves the official government narrative about what happened on 9/11, and yet people continue to be oblivious to the fact that this information exists, or complete resistance to looking at this information. Why is this? Marty Hopper, PhD is a clinical psychologist that states we would be remiss not to look at this impact of this trauma. Frances Shure, M.A. is a psychotherapist, and she states that people resist this information largely because this it contradicts our worldview, placing us in a place of psychological insecurity and instability. After loosing a sense of security, people begin to feel vulnerable. Bob Hopper, PhD contributes to the conversation by states that when our beliefs are challenged, fear and anxiety are created. In response to that, our innate psychological responses activate in an effort to protect us from us. Denial is perhaps the most primitive psychological defense and is the one most likely to kick in during psychological instability. Danielle Duperet, PhD further states that the United States of America is generally known to be a powerful nation, of which it's inhabitants lost security on this day. She states that when people are confronted by conflicting beliefs, people tend to enter an uncomfortable state, impairing rational and critical thinking to the point of analytical paralysis. It is easier for people in this state to deny the conflicting belief, versus create a new belief system. This results with people believing information that is false in an effort to remain psychologically secure. One tip that is recommended is the look at the conflicting evidence and be sincere, and open-minded, while looking at both sides of the issue, and then make up our own mind about what reality really is.
