View Full Version : Fake Truther Evidence

I decided to put up a thread collecting the fake evidence presented by the truth movement.
First, the fire on the roof of South Tower.

Video here: http://wtc7lies.googlepages.com/WTCFire.mp4 (http://wtc7lies.googlepages.com/WTCFire.mp4)
This is fake, because there was no fuel in that spot on the roof, much less anything that would make a 50-foot high, 75-foot wide inferno, no corroborating photos or videos, no corroborating eyewitness accounts and no investigator corroboration.
The glowing picture, used by Steven Jones.

In reality, the photo looks like this:

Then there are numerous videos with added sound effects. I can't get to YouTube right now. Could someone post links to faked audio videos used by the truth movement?
Also, post all other fake evidence you remember seeing.

bofors can see the photo with the correct colors on display in NYC. Jones has acknowledged his error. Remember: he wanted us to believe that these men have their bare faces over a hole that's as hot as a blast furnace. Mormons are humans, not angels, and like all humans are susceptible to being liars and fools, as Jones is.

You'll notice the one Jones used is cropped as well. In the original you can see the guy on the left and shafts of light from the searchlight.
Also at least one of the guys is standing in the hole with a shovel and his sleeves rolled up

As a mormon, I am deeply ashamed at Jones's antics and his complete and utter lack of honesty and integrity. In particular, his hanging out with nazis and hardcore racists.
But since you seem to hold our physics professors in such high regard, can I ask you opinion of our engineering professors, such as Dr. A. Woodruff Miller and Dr. D. Allan Firmage? (http://debunking911.com/civil.htm)

His caption for the photo was, “Workers evidently peering into the hot ‘core’ under the WTC rubble.”
We made Jones aware of this ridiculous error (which had passed three rounds of J.O.N.E.S. "peer review"), and he removed the photo from his "Why, Indeed" paper.
I've seen two different prints made by the photographer, and can attest that the color in the bottom photo is good and that in the top photo is completely wrong. In addition, hundreds of thousands of people saw a large print of this which was on display at the Ground Zero fence for over a year.

And here:
Start by visiting the ImplosionWorld Cinema (http://www.implosionworld.com/cinema.htm). Choose the Philips building (top of the two rows, right-hand side) and watch the video. Pay particular attention when the timer gets past 10 seconds. You'll hear an explosion, see smoke shoot out from the centre base of the building, then hear another set of explosions, then the building falls. Repeat that a few times so you're familar with the timing.
Take a look at the same implosion from another angle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAyyHQQXX_0). We don't have the same view of the base of the building this time, but you can still hear loud explosions before and after first smoke shoots out.
Now visit this page at the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (http://www.ae911truth.net/ppt/ae911-14.php).
And isn't that strange? Now there's no explosions at all, and what's more you can hear the building fall before it actually happens. It appears this version of the video has either had the explosions removed and seen the rest of the collapse sound moved forward to cover it (which would explain the silent second or two at the end), or perhaps has had the complete audio track added from somewhere else.

IMO, Jones would cook data if he had any to cook.
Essentially every use of ellipsis in a Twoofer document (and there are many) is a lie by omission since it invariably leads to finding omitted text is in opposition to Twoofer claims. Many of these are on Jones' website, j911s. Since Jones promotes the work as "peer reviewed", I have no problem calling j911s, Jones and the papers, a fraud.

Is this example of Kevin Ryan being decietfull or using facts to support the change in his Slide show. Lets examine this piece of evidence that support's the analysis of Silver's comments by Kevin.
Facts: On September 9, 2005, Mr. Dara McQuillan, a spokesman for Silverstein Properties, issued the following statement on this issue:
Seven World Trade Center collapsed at 5:20 p.m. on September 11, 2001, after burning for seven hours. There were no casualties, thanks to the heroism of the Fire Department and the work of Silverstein Properties employees who evacuated tenants from the building.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) conducted a thorough investigation of the collapse of all the World Trade Center buildings. The FEMA report concluded that the collapse of Seven World Trade Center was a direct result of fires triggered by debris from the collapse of WTC Tower 1.
In the afternoon of September 11, Mr. Silverstein spoke to the Fire Department Commander on site at Seven World Trade Center. The Commander told Mr. Silverstein that there were several firefighters in the building working to contain the fires. Mr. Silverstein expressed his view that the most important thing was to protect the safety of those firefighters, including, if necessary, to have them withdraw from the building.
Later in the day, the Fire Commander ordered his firefighters out of the building and at 5:20 p.m. the building collapsed. No lives were lost at Seven World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.-Source: US Department of State, 9/16/2005
It appears this is why Kevin made the decision to include "they and I" in his 2006 presentation. Fake evidence? No. A change in the analysis based upon the press release by Silverstein, certainly.
Is this an example of fake evidence by truthers, not at all. Is it sloppy research by Gravy? I will let you decide.
No, misrepresenting a photo from a published magazine is fake evidence.
Can you provide the original article from the magazine that Jone's used to support your accusations? Can you prove the article used stated the firefighters were looking into a hole using searchlights instead of somthing else? If so, then you have a case. If not is is an unfounded alegation that Jones is misrepresenting the photo. Evidently-1. Obviously; clearly.
2. According to the evidence available: If the original article may have mentioned fires, flames, heat, etc then you have no case.
Disbelief-Swing, you are not really comparing the two pictures are you? How close are the men in the picture you posted?
Not sure. Not far of course. If the light in the hole is really from molten somthing, how far away is it? Kind of hard to judge the distance of the light source from the firefighters.

That sums it all up with the movement, laziness more often than outright fakery. With all the money that Dylan spent on producing his LC, he could have spent a little bit of time to check out the claims he was parrotting off for himself. Like the stupid claim from ignorance of "what's under the blue tarp" at the Pentagon. The photo by itself says nothing, but it allowed truthers' imaginations run wild with what COULD be under there. But simply checking out some basic things -- like the direction in which the men were walking (toward the Pentagon, not away) and other photos of the grounds showing the tents would have cleared up that "9/11 mystery" in a jiffy. Similarly with the "Clancy video" showing a plume rising from WTC5....it was promoted for years by those who never bothered to compare it with other videos of the South Tower collapse.

In the afternoon of September 11, Mr. Silverstein spoke to the Fire Department Commander on site at Seven World Trade Center. The Commander told Mr. Silverstein that there were several firefighters in the building working to contain the fires. Mr. Silverstein expressed his view that the most important thing was to protect the safety of those firefighters, including, if necessary, to have them withdraw from the building.
Later in the day, the Fire Commander ordered his firefighters out of the building and at 5:20 p.m. the building collapsed. No lives were lost at Seven World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.-Source: US Department of State, 9/16/2005
It appears this is why Kevin made the decision to include "they and I" in his 2006 presentation. Fake evidence? No. A change in the analysis based upon the press release by Silverstein, certainly.
That statement does not justify the misleading claim that "[fire department and I] made the decision". Silverstein "expressed his view". It was the fire commander that McQuillan says made the "order". McQuillan does not say that Silverstein and the commander together made the decision to order the people out.

Maybe we ought to differentiate between faked evidence, i.e., video, photographic and audio records which have been altered for the purpose of presenting the altered versions as evidence of a CT claim, and records which have been altered for artistic purposes or by the artifacts of duplication processes which are then siezed upon and claimed as evidence by CTers blinded by confirmation bias.
For example, there is zero to no doubt that "9/11 Mysteries" contains footage in which the audio has deliberately been altered from the original by the producers of "9/11 Mysteries". The "firefighters at a pay phone" video would fall into the "faked" category, as would the "fire on the Tower roof" video.
OTOH, Jones claiming the "glow" photo as evidence of thermite seems more likely to be an example of Jones being clueless about how much alteration could be effected by phenomena like the printing process, the magazine's production process, the magazine's art director etc. by the time the photo appeared in his secondary source, and Jones not having the wit to search out the original. Similarly, I've been able to verify that the video clip I wrote about for 9/11 Myths was actually taken from a TV movie about Rudy Giuliani, that the altered audio was done for artistic purposes and not for deception and that its presentation as evidence of explosive demolition was a case of truthers being unable or unwilling to understand what they were hearing.
There's a continuum of wrongnitude here that ranges from self-deception due to lack of knowledge and poor researching/thinking skills, through intellectual dishonesty, all the way to outright fraud. If we want to learn anything useful through studying conspiracy theories, I think we want to classify these things accurately.

In my e-mail exchange with him Jones said he got that photo by having a secretary clip it out of a magazine, so it probably wasn't manipulated, just a crappy photo to begin with and he is too lazy to research it. He refused to address the issue of the compressed concrete, just like he refuses to address most things he is challenged on. Greg Jenkins was honest enough to admit that it was not molten metal at least.
James (and anyone here who happens to remember this): In that photo of the firemen peering down that hole, didn't someone find a second image of the firemen actually moving the light causing that effect? I could've sworn someone either here or at SLC posted that second photo. I just don't remember where it is.

The "river of steel" seems to have deied gravity by flowing uphill over the curb without fanning out behind that small dam.
:eye-poppi
Jones also over-looks the fact that heat is directional to some degree. The infrared from that intense a fire wopuld have travelled out in the same direction as the light. Anyone who has ever broiled a steak in an electric oven knows that radiated heat is sometimes far hotter than convected heat.Those men working at the furnace were all standing as far back as possible (note how far back the man with the ladle leans) or standing out of the path of the radiated heat. The air flow around them and the furnace protect them from convected heat.
Jones just doesn't spend time thinking once he has found a scrap of something that supports his prejudices. Thus the Jesus-as-Itzamna paper.
Another example of Jones' presentation of crappy altered evidence is his use of a color-manipulated photo of the meteor that makes it look more like an homogenous piece of once-molten metal. I actually took it to be a different object, a bolus of glass, until someone showed me a side-by-side comparison.
Jones is either a monumental liar or the world's most slovenly researcher with a PhD.

Of course, if he removed all the misrepresentations, logical fallacies, conclusions not backed by evidence, and pseudoscience from his paper, he'd have nothing left. He's as transparently fraudulent as they come.

The "firefighters at the pay phone video" would fall into the "faked" category
Do you have a linky or more information about this? (Should I get out the popcorn?)
BTW, many of the clips from 9/11 that appeared in popular documentaries have had their audio altered for editing/aesthetic reasons. The added or replacement audio gives a sense of greater continuity/flow or removes undesirable sounds. A good example is the Scott Myers footage of the WTC2 crash. It first appeared in the 9/11 In Memoriam documentary from May 2002. It contains the audio of the crash and the explosion, but has dubbed in the audio of someone saying that another plane has crashed. The raw footage that I found on a Reuters/AP/UPI site (I don't remember which one it was) lacked this audio, and the same is the case with the "911.wtc.2.hit.east.below.2.wmv" clip that has circulated online. The footage also appeared in September 2002 on an A&E "Investigative Reports" documentary, and there the audio was completely replaced with a stereotypical gas-explosion type sound (rather than the dull thud of the original video), which also was timed exactly at the moment of impact (the "thud" in the other versions of the video is delayed by a second, which is what you would expect from Myers' location at John Street).

We did verify the source of the photo: Geo magazine, a European publication. It's not a woo publication and it makes no representation about men standing inside a hole that's as hot as a blast furnace. That interpretation is entirely Jones' fraud. Likewise, the original caption in the ironworker photo says "Investigations began as wreckage was cleared," not “Workers evidently peering into the hot ‘core’ under the WTC rubble.” This isn't about the color of the photo. It's about Steven E. Jones' asinine claim about what the photo represents.

Let me give you "debunkers" a little hint, unlike NIST et al., Mormon physics professors like Jones do not cook data.
After reading in the Daily Herald the presentations made by Professor Steven E. Jones (BYU Physics) to students at UVSC and BYU, I feel obligated to reply to his "Conspiracy Theory" relating to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center (9/11/01).
I have studied the summary of the report by FEMA, The American Society of Civil Engineers and several other professional engineering organizations. These experts have given in detail the effects on the Towers by the impact of the commercial aircraft. I have also read Professor Jones' (referred to) 42 page unpublished report. In my understanding of structural design and the properties of structural steel I find Professor Jones' thesis that planted explosives (rather than fire from the planes) caused the collapse of the Towers, very unreliable.
The structural design of the towers was unique in that the supporting steel structure consisted of closely spaced columns in the walls of all four sides. The resulting structure was similar to a tube. When the aircraft impacted the towers at speeds of about 500 plus mph, many steel columns were immediately severed and others rendered weak by the following fires. The fires critically damaged the floors systems. Structural steel will begin to lose strength when heated to temperatures above 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Steel bridge girders are bent to conform to the curved roadway by spot heating flanges between 800 and 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. It is easy to comprehend the loss of carrying capacity of all the structural steel due to the raging fires fed by the jet's fuel as well as aircraft and building contents.
Before one (especially students) supports such a conspiracy theory, they should investigate all details of the theory. To me a practicing structural engineer of 57 continuous years (1941-1998), Professor Jones' presentations are very disturbing.
- Mormon Structural Engineering professor, D. Allan Firmage, Professor Emeritus, Civil Engineering, BYU
"I think without exception, the structural engineering professors in our department are not in agreement with the claims made by Jones in his paper, and they don't think there is accuracy and validity to these claims" "The university is aware that Professor Steven Jones's hypotheses and interpretations of evidence regarding the collapse of World Trade Center buildings are being questioned by a number of scholars and practitioners, including many of BYU's own faculty members. Professor Jones's department and college administrators are not convinced that his analyses and hypotheses have been submitted to relevant scientific venues that would ensure rigorous technical peer review."

ANY large amount of molten steel would not have been where you could see it. It would have sought the lowest level it could reach and formed a pool there. The pool would become a pig. A pig that size would have required extraordinary methods to remove and would have been a magazine article all by itself. And there is no record of this happening.
Therefore there was no large amounts of molten steel anywhere on site.
(And this surprised me as when I did my calculations of the collapse in the week or two following the event, I had assumed that much of the KE would have gone into heat and that there would be molten steel somewhere. I failed to account for the energy expended in deformation of materials and lost to Boyle's Law as the floors pancaked and the heated gas was forced from the building and a few other items...)

On the other hand, I love that one debunking video of WTC 7 where the voice over discusses the lack of water for fighting the fires in WTC 7, and in the foreground is a firefighter, a ladder, and a waterhose figthing the fires near WTC 7. Classic!
Learn a bit about fire science and fire fighting techniques before you critique fire fighting operations.
The hydrant pressure in the area was not considered adequate for all the fire going on. The fires in WTC 5 and six were small, compared to those in WTC 7 and were not as high up. The buildings were also more stable.
WTC 7 was deemed too dangerous to enter and they just did not have water pressure to apply monitor streams from outside, had they even a schnorkel rig that would reach that high.
Thus the decision to drop back and "cover exposures." this is a tactic in which one merely prevents the fire from spreading from one un-combatible fire through radiant heat or through spreading by way of combustible materials (like dry grass or tons of blowing paper) to other structures or to vehicles.
The stream from that schnorkel rig to which you refer was not much more than would be discharged fro a 2 1/2 inch handline.
That's just covering exposures.

What we are seeing from Jones is really quite typical of wnat I'd dup "pseudoresearchers." They go by secondary sources and never bother to hunt out the originals. We see it a huge amount in the ApolloHoax side of things, people that cherry pick photos, films and articles that are secondary sourced and then attribute any errors in the secondary sourcing to NASA. Or course the fact that they could have gone to the primary source and seen if the error was in that as well seems to be beyond them. Jones has done exactly the same thing. Rather than track down the original and verify that the secodary image is correct, he just takes the secondary and goes with it because it fits his story. Shoddy, shoddy research.

Why not?
Catholic/Protestant/Hindu/Atheist ones have a lock on cooking data?
Belief in the reading of "Reformed Egyptian" gold plates left by a steel-using pre-Columbian civilization, by means of seer stones by a treasure hunter in upstate NY does not, IMHO, make Prof. Jones more credible. However, neither would any other religious belief make his physics more or less credible.
Since Einstein (Jewish), Fermi (Catholic), Bose (Hindu) weren't Mormons, should this influence my take on any of their physics or mathematics?
Any physicist might hold any number of various religious beliefs, and they are irrelevant to his or her ability as a physicist. Accordingly, Jones' belief or non-belief in the above-stated proposition has utterly nothing to do with his credibility as a physicist.
Apparently, Mormon belief does not provide some sort of magic immunity to academic fraud:

In speculation, it appears Jones used the picture from a published magazine that used a misleading photograph.
Poor scholarship at best. I expect much more from someone with Jones' credentials.
Do you verify photos in published magazines you read, CHF, or do you assume that the photos have already been authenticated?
Perhaps JamesB should follow up the photo to determine the source of the photograph. Then you can determine if the photograph was manipulated by the magazine or someone else.
Assumption is the mother of all f**kups, including when it comes to scholarly pursuits. Also, the last time I cut a picture from a magazine for a research project was grade school. I'd expect a serious researcher to seek out the original (or a verified copy from the source) to use.
You're trying to defend something that can't be defended ... unless we're talking about a middle school project. It's cute watching you try though.

Is this example of Kevin Ryan being decietfull or using facts to support the change in his Slide show. Lets examine this piece of evidence that support's the analysis of Silver's comments by Kevin.
Facts: On September 9, 2005, Mr. Dara McQuillan, a spokesman for Silverstein Properties, issued the following statement on this issue:
Seven World Trade Center collapsed at 5:20 p.m. on September 11, 2001, after burning for seven hours. There were no casualties, thanks to the heroism of the Fire Department and the work of Silverstein Properties employees who evacuated tenants from the building.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) conducted a thorough investigation of the collapse of all the World Trade Center buildings. The FEMA report concluded that the collapse of Seven World Trade Center was a direct result of fires triggered by debris from the collapse of WTC Tower 1.
In the afternoon of September 11, Mr. Silverstein spoke to the Fire Department Commander on site at Seven World Trade Center. The Commander told Mr. Silverstein that there were several firefighters in the building working to contain the fires. Mr. Silverstein expressed his view that the most important thing was to protect the safety of those firefighters, including, if necessary, to have them withdraw from the building.
Later in the day, the Fire Commander ordered his firefighters out of the building and at 5:20 p.m. the building collapsed. No lives were lost at Seven World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.-Source: US Department of State, 9/16/2005
It appears this is why Kevin made the decision to include "they and I" in his 2006 presentation. Fake evidence? No. A change in the analysis based upon the press release by Silverstein, certainly. The quotes you've quoted only have any bearing on the "pull" quotation if "pull" means "withdraw from the building". If "pull" means "blow the building up", as the loons aver, then these would be two different discussion of two different decisions, and the account of the one sheds no light on the other.
Sheesh, you people. Will you try to get your story straight?
---
Meanwhile, back in the real world, where by "pull" he meant "withraw", the real "pull" quotation (not Kevin Ryan's version) and the quotes above confirm one another perfectly. In both, Silverstein expresses a view that it would be a good idea to withdraw; in both, the decision is made by the Fire Department.
---
Finally, I would point out that even if Ryan's "analysis" tells him that Silverstein should have said "they and I", the fact is that he didn't, so the quote is bogus. My "analysis" tells me that you should be saying "Yes, Kevin Ryan got it wrong, didn't he?" but it would be dishonest to "quote" you as saying that, 'cos you didn't.

Damn, I missed that one first time round. We have the following sequence, as I see it:
Silverstein says "...they made the decision to pull..."
Ryan changes this to "...they and I made the decision to pull..."
Swing posts a quote that shows that the Fire Department Commander made the decision to pull out the men, after canvassing Silverstein's opinion, exactly as Silverstein stated.
Swing then suggests that this justifies Ryan changing the quote.
If I were Swing Dangler, I'd need that mask, because I don't think I'd want to see my own face in the mirror.

As for the flashes, they are genuyine. But they occur outside the dust plume, thus could not be explosive charges used to bring down the buildings. They simply do not go off suspended in space long after the signal was sent to detonate. More likely glass or aluminum cladding spinning in the slip stream. Video is not fake. The analyst is just dumb as a box of gravel.

I haven't seen September Clues. But some real poor resolution YouTube videos actually do make it look like some parts of the wings are missing for a short while. That is of course not true, and is due to the reflections of light accompanied with poor resolution and speed of the aircraft.

My site is FILLED with truther lies. Were do I begin... Lets see...
One of the so called "scholars" keeps repeating the ridiculous claim that the hijackers are still alive and well. The absurd logic of this part of the conspiracy story is that the conspirators used the real name of phony hijackers. Think about that for a moment... These powerful mass murders can get away with planting tons of explosives/incendiaries, motivate hundreds, if not thousands of people to become accessories to mass murder but can't create phony names to throw off amateur internet investigators... OK, let's say your ability to think rationally about this is impaired and you need more than just simple common sense...
http://www.911myths.com/html/still_alive.html
By now you may recognize the theme of these conspiracy stories. They obviously didn't bother to call the reporters involved in the article. And why should they? It sounds like a conspiracy just the way they tell it.
One of the BIG lies in the "truth" movement is that UL certifies steel. An ex-employee named Kevin Ryan, who worked as a water tester at UL, said "The buildings should have easily withstood the thermal stress caused by pools of burning jet fuel." He says he knows this because UL certified steel components of the World Trade Center and that someone from the company who was connected with the UL testing told him this fact.
Now for some facts the "truth" movement doesn't tell you.
UL doesn't certify steel components like a steel truss or column. They certify assemblies. That means they certified the total assembly, all put together.
The other lie in the "truth" movement is the characterization of what the NIST said was the cause of the collapse.
1) The NIST NEVER said burning jet fuel was the cause of the collapse. Only that it was a factor
2) If the assembly stayed together, it only SUPPORTS the NIST hypothesis that the trusses pulled the columns in.
3) The UL test caused the test trusses to sag even with fireproofing
Since we are on the subject of fire proofing, let me touch on something which keeps being repeated by the so called "scholars". They keep suggesting that lease owner Larry Silverstein had a very good reason to blow up the towers.
Fetzer: My impression has been that there were a couple of problems with the towers and it may have been that they were chronic problems. One of course was that it was laden with asbestos and that any proposal to remove that asbestos which was used as a coating on the steel as I understand it would have been a gargantuan task at incredible expense. Can anyone imagine for example of constructing scaffolding around a 110 story building? And second of all that there were difficulties with occupancy that Larry Silverstein wasn’t getting a full return on his investment from the ordinary use of the buildings, because a tremendous large numbers of offices were unoccupied. Whole floors and sections of the buildings.
The fact is that asbestos in the towers was limited to floors only up to the 38th floor of WTC 1 and it was encapsulated. There was no asbestos in WTC2 .
"Several materials were considered for the sprayed thermal insulation. The exterior columns required insulation not only for fire protection but also to control column temperatures under service conditions. Alcoa recommended for the exterior columns the use of a sprayed material produced by U.S. Mineral Products, Co. known as BLAZE-SHIELD Type D. The same material was eventually selected for the floor trusses and core beams and columns. This product, however, contained asbestos fibers. On April 13, 1970, New York City issued restrictions on the application of sprayed thermal insulation containing asbestos. The use of BLAZE-SHIELD Type D was discontinued in 1970 at the 38th floor of WTC 1. The asbestos-containing material was subsequently encapsulated with a sprayed material that provided a hard coating. A green dye was added to the encapsulating material so that the asbestos containing SFRM could be identified. Thermal protection of the remaining floors of WTC 1 and all of WTC 2 was carried out using BLAZE-SHIELD Type DC/F, a product that contained mineral wool (glassy fibers) in place of the crystalline asbestos fibers. On the basis of tests, it was reported that the thermal properties of BLAZE-SHIELD Type DC/F were equal to or "slightly better" than those of BLAZE-SHIELD Type D"
NIST NCSTAR 1-6A
So much for asbestos, now what about the occupancy...
May 31, 1998
As the market for office space in midtown has tightened and rental rates increased, tenants have been looking to downtown as a cheaper alternative. Over the last year, those seeking large blocks of space have been finding them at the trade center, which had many vacancies as a result of the 1993 terrorist bombing and the shrinkage of the financial industry in the early part of the decade.
''In January 1997 we had about an 80 percent occupancy rate,'' said Cherrie Nanninga, director of real estate for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owns the complex. Twenty percent of 10.5 million square feet of space is 2.1 million, which would be a substantial building by itself.
But as a result of the last year's work, Ms. Nanninga, said the complex is over 90 percent occupied and expects to it reach the 95 percent mark by the end of the year. That, she said, would be about as full as the center is likely to get, since there is almost always someone moving in or out. ''Ninety-seven percent occupancy would be full,'' said Ms. Nanninga, whose name is pronounced NAN-in-gay.
Downtown; At the World Trade Center, Things Are Looking Up
February 12, 2001
As Real Estate Director, a position Mrs. Nanninga has held since 1996, the occupancy rate at the trade center has risen from 78 percent to a healthy 98 percent, retail soared in the trade center's mall, and available office space in the Newark Legal Center has nearly been filled.
Today, only about 250,000 of the 10.4 million square feet of office space in the trade center remains vacant. And the legal center has an occupancy rate of over 99 percent.

http://www.911myths.com/html/windfall.html
Jones says something I can't help but find incredible...
"If aluminum (e.g., from the plane) had melted, it would melt and flow away from the heat source at its melting point of about 650 oC and thus would not reach the yellow color observed for this molten metal. Thus, molten aluminum is already ruled out with high probability."
The obvious question is how does he know what condition the floors were in to suggest they were flat enough not to pool aluminum near a heat source? I guess this is where we begin to forget again... We are to forget an airliner just rammed into the floors possibly bending/warping them. No? Don't like that? What about concrete, steel columns, steel sheets which held the concrete, airliner parts and office furniture which could have created a temporary dam? In fact, I think it's a "high probability" that the floors weren't in pristine shape after the impact of an airliner. In 5 years, Jones couldn't envision a sag in the floor enough to hold melted aluminum?
But what of Jones evidence for thermite like this?
"The yellow color implies a molten-metal temperature of approximately 1000 C, evidently above that which the dark-smoke hydrocarbon fires in the Towers could produce."
Yet, once again, we find in his own paper that it states..
Under section 11
"Factors such as flame volume and quantity of soot decrease the radiative heat loss in the fire, moving the temperature closer to the maximum of 1,000 ºC." (Eagar and Musso, 2001)
Steven Jones:
Actually, the metal-cutting device employing thermite is well known and documented; see the paper by Robert Moore published three months ago (January 2007) in the Journal of 9/11 Studies:
Furthermore, there is a demonstration of a “device employing thermite” cutting through a metal rod, here.
Yet another absurd comparison from Jones. A small metal rod is NOT the same as a large column. See how large that canister is compared to that small metal rod? The canister in that video, while being enough to cut the vertical rod, will only cut a small hole into a vertical WTC column. (Something I said long ago. See bold text above) For the towers columns to have been cut by a similar device you would need much larger canisters wrapped around the buildings at this scale. Absurd!

Speaking of fake Truther evidence, what about Benjamin Chertoff's alleged family relationship to Michael Chertoff? If I recall, that was COMPLETELY made up.

Not completely. I forget exactly who, but some prominent truther (Bollyn?) tried to claim that they were cousins. Turns out they're apparently fourth cousins, I think, at best.

I recall seeing somewhere that we are ALL at least seventh cousins.

Similarly you have the Wirt Walker being related to GWB claims which again appear to be complete fiction.

IIRC there was someone associated with the company who mentioned a familial relationship, but later admited she had no basis for such a statement. Of course, that's good enough for the CT crowd to believe it's true.

A video that the guy who made it admitted was a fake? He said he faked it, right there on the same page.
Tweeter, you are a troll. A bad troll. Freaking worthless.
16.5 (IQ), can you read the thread title? It says fake truther
evidence!! I was adding to the *ding ding* fake truther evidence, until i watched the video in slow motion frame by frame. I`d really like to know how this guys done this.

Oh Burn! What an hilarious joke changing my name to add "IQ." In fourth grade, that was INDEED considered the height of wit. Kudos my good man, kudos to you! I shall share that joke with my 8 year old this evening, he'll enjoy it!
As far as the rest of your post. You said:
"I wasnt a no-planer till i slowed that video down frame by frame. Try it. What do you see?"
Now I certainly do not wish to suggest that you are changing your story; far from it! I can see how rather than expressly saying you found a fake video, that it was more effective to say you were a No-Planer!
You are the new doyenne of the Algonquin Round Table.
/"IQ." THAT is solid gold money.

Well, believable as Cheney is a Reptile... You'd have to go back a LONG time to find where he is related to any modern human being.

I maintain that GHWB is not related at all to GWB. Seems that the harridan that he calls mom was actually not living anywhere near GHWB when she became pregnant with him...

Chris Bollyn, a reporter for the far-right rag American Free Press, came up with that one.
No questions asked by the twoofers.

And who used to run "Spotlight" which was a nakedly white-supremacist news rag.

I'm wondering, with the thread title and all:
Is there any other kind of truther evidence? Anyone seen any other kind, anywhere?

What about that one photo which supposedly showed the lower level explosions of dust when in fact it was the south tower collapse, they photoshopped a copy of the north tower to look like the south tower was still standing.
IIRC, even dyllion was fooled by that one.
lol i forget which video that was from but the guy narrating it was sitting on a video editing console?
they cropped the video and edited out the south tower falling and said the 40 something plume of dust was from an explosion not related to the tower
a truther actually sent me that garbage as "evidence" way back when
i sent him back the real video and thrashed him verbally
his response was he had dial up so he cant watch videos online (after several months of emails back and forth)
i thrashed him again for sending me "evidence" he never even watched
thats when i realized that these people just copy and paste from each others emails and do NO research (again this was years ago)
then they come online and tell everyone to do research ugh

Aha, when Gravy said that the photo was on a Ground Zero fence for over a year, I thought, I bet it's in the Here is New York book, and lo! there it is on p. 451:

This is the original. The one posted above has a similar white balance but is wholly desaturated in parts and oversaturated in other places. The version used by Jones has a yellow tint absent from the original.
I noticed that NO ONE put up RKOwens4's excellent debunking of the LIE about this image. so here is the link to his video showing you where that picture came from

That is ridiculous, it is you who are faking evidence here. Your "reality" verson is obviously pixelated with distorted colors.
Let me give you "debunkers" a little hint, unlike NIST et al., Mormon physics professors like Jones do not cook data.
Moronic former NUCLEAR Physics Professors who have no evidence FAKE it.
This video is of the same scene, its obvious that the glow was from an electric light, not molten metal.

And this, is an original pic of the scene.
