DID THE EARTH SHAKE BEFORE THE SOUTH TOWER HIT THE GROUND?
DID THE EARTH SHAKE BEFORE THE SOUTH TOWER HIT THE GROUND?

In the debate over the collapses of the Twin Towers on 9/11, the shaking of the earth that accompanied these collapses has played an important role. This shaking registered clearly on seismographs. Less clear, however, are its causes and the times it began. The National Institute of Standards and Technology emphasizes the role of the debris from the collapsing buildings in producing the seismic signals. In assessing NIST’s hypothesis I focus on the collapse of the South Tower and attempt to determine the time the collapse began, the time the debris from the Tower struck the ground, and the temporal relation of these events to the shaking of the earth that accompanied the collapse.
I consider both the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory’s seismic evidence and the evidence provided by a less studied form of seismic instrument, the video camera. I also draw on witness testimony. I conclude that key statements by NIST are false.
Major shaking of the earth, and corresponding seismic signals, started well before the debris hit the ground. In fact, it seems certain that the shaking of the earth started before visible signs of building
collapse.

Why didn't Dick Cheney order that the plane that hit the Pentagon on 9-11 be shot down?
Why did a hijacked plane hit the Pentagon on 9-11?

Nothing should have hit the Pentagon. This implies that a stand-down order existed, as appears to be confirmed by Mineta’s testimony to the 9/11 Commission.
...Crucial to this debate is the video testimony of the Secretary for Transportation, Norman Mineta, to the 9/11 Commission. He entered the PEOC (Presidential Emergency Operations Center) under the White House and saw that the Vice President, Dick Cheney, was already there.
A young man came in and said to Cheney "The plane is 50 miles out", then "The plane is thirty miles out", and when it got down to 10 miles out the young man also said "Do the orders still stand?" and Cheney angrily confirmed that they did.
Shortly after this something catastrophic happened at the Pentagon, causing many deaths.
There is little doubt that Cheney had it in his hand to shoot down this plane but had a reason not to do so...
There is evidence that the hijackers were more interested in learning to fly than to take off or land. That was suspicious in itself and caused some FBI reports to be made which were apparently blocked.
It is the release of the so called “Phoenix memo” which has exposed the
improper actions of the FBI at this time. Michael Ruppert suggests it was Dave Frasca who saw to it that the reports did not get through...
