Lt. Colombo Would Want to Tie Up A Few Loose Ends
UPDATE 8-20. Was COVID used, with pre-planning or opportunistically, as cover for death and illness of the lung-damaged from the 9/11 Event? Remember the Cuomo nursing-home kill fiasco?

Thank you Mr. Unz. I agree, it is sufficiently established that the NIST explanation of collapse of Bldg. 7 is bizarre beyond description.
Essentially for the want of a bracket a beam was lost, for the want of a beam a column was lost, and for the want of a column on one side of a building, a sound building with disparately comprised metal supports — plus skin — collapsed in “beautifully,” smooth symmetry, all elements uniformly — at near free fall no less. Sorry. I have a tiny bit of metallurgical engineering in my background, enough to know that it was not my field and enough to know that the collapse of Building 7 did not happen as explained.
Why did the government and the Media lie so clumsily if the advertised/propagandized story is even close to being essentially correct? Bizarre misdirection invites the question: what else was fabricated?
For my taste, I do not mind people trying to “fish the pond” for the actual murder weapon, so to speak — as long as they maintain the calm perspective that there is a “corpse in the morgue with repeated stab wounds.” I mean, as citizens, architects, engineers and scientists we should want to know those details — you know, just so we can have a “wrap.” I like completeness. Besides, the murder weapon may take us too the perpetrator, or if we are reasonably certain who this is already, then we can develop the solid case for their guilt.

To which I would add, here, that good detectives, journalists, scientists and historians are never satisfied with merely-practical, political resolutions. No, we need theories of error regarding what went wrong. If the government, through NIST, is telling us that all of these building just fell, especially a 47-story building that was NOT hit by an airplane, a football-field away from the Twin Towers, then you would think that the construction, engineering and architectural community would be relentless in their pursuit to determine how not to permit anything resembling these events from ever happening again. But then, again, this was likely not a failure of engineering, but a criminal act. Is this was the even the not-so-outspoken architects and engineers are telling us by averting their gaze?
This day in September, 2001, was just the hammering event that produced a psychologically stupefied and passive public willing to do and say nothing (at best) and to parrot the TV-government line at worst.

Mr. Unz’s well-appreciated earlier comment (No. 16.) followed mine (No. 15) by 17 minutes. My comment (harkening back to my hypothesizing in 2020) raised the question of whether the COVID Event may have been manipulated to kill those who suffered the lung-damaging effects of the dusts from 9-11, including emergency personnel, cleanup workers and those residents living and working in the plume down wind of the destruction.
With time, I now read and appreciate Mr. Unz’s comment a bit differently. Though I still think it is important to continue to examine the means of destruction of the World Trade Center, the deadly damage to the Pentagon and whatever is supposed to have happen in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, I now understand more deeply Mr. Unz’s refocusing on the who of these events — and no doubt others.
With this much, again I agree, but I also believe both can be balanced, answers to one assisting the other.

Could a COVID “outbreak” focused on NYC have been a means of “cleaning” up the two decade long-health sequelae of harmed individuals in the plume of asbestos and radiation? The insurance problem, evidentiary problem, the plaintive problem, and the historical optics are all resolved by quietly throwing the bodies in a mass grave.
AND Mr. Unz’s following comment:

Given the lack of radioactivity, I’m afraid I’m very skeptical of the theory advanced in this article and suspect that the claim a nuclear explosion destroyed the WTC might even be a Cass Sunstein-type trick, intended to make 9/11 Truthers look foolish.
Here are the relevant closing paragraphs in my own long 9/11 article from a few years ago:
Although my growing suspicions about the 9/11 attacks stretch back a decade or more, my serious investigation of the topic is quite recent, so I am certainly a newcomer to the field. But sometimes an outsider can notice things that may escape the attention of those who have spent so many years deeply immersed in a given topic.
From my perspective, a huge fraction of the 9/11 Truth community spends far too much of its time absorbed in the particular details of the attacks, debating the precise method by which the World Trade Center towers in New York were brought down or what actually struck the Pentagon. But these sorts of issues seem of little ultimate significance.
I would argue that the only important aspect of such technical issues is whether the overall evidence is sufficiently strong to establish the falsehood of the official 9/11 narrative and also demonstrate that the attacks must have been the work of a highly sophisticated organization with access to advanced military technology rather than a rag-tag band of 19 Arabs armed with box-cutters. Beyond that, none of those details matter.
In that regard, I believe that the volume of factual material collected by determined researchers over the last seventeen years has easily met that requirement, perhaps even ten or twenty times over. For example, even agreeing upon a single particular item such as the clear presence of nano-thermite, a military-grade explosive compound, would immediately satisfy those two criteria. So I see little point in endless debates over whether nano-thermite was used, or nano-thermite plus something else, or just something else entirely. And such complex technical debates may serve to obscure the larger picture, while confusing and intimidating any casually-interested onlookers, thereby being quite counter-productive to the overall goals of the 9/11 Truth movement.
Once we have concluded that the culprits were part of a highly sophisticated organization, we can then focus on the Who and the Why, which surely would be of greater importance than the particular details of the How. Yet currently all the endless debate over the How tends to crowd out the Who and the Why, and I wonder whether this unfortunate situation might even be intentional.
Perhaps one reason is that once sincere 9/11 Truthers do focus on those more important questions, the vast weight of the evidence clearly points in a single direction, implicating Israel and its Mossad intelligence service, with the case being overwhelmingly strong in motive, means, and opportunity. And leveling accusations of blame at Israel and its domestic collaborators for the greatest attack ever launched against America on our own soil entails enormous social and political risks.
But such difficulties must be weighed against the reality of three thousand American civilian lives and the subsequent seventeen years of our multi-trillion-dollar wars, which have produced tens of thousands of dead or wounded American servicemen and the death or displacement of many millions of innocent Middle Easterners.
The members of the 9/11 Truth movement must therefore ask themselves whether or not “Truth” is indeed the central goal of their efforts.
