Scientists, engineers, and architects continue to punch holes in the official explanations for the collapse of the 9/11 buildings. This singular event was used to justify an extremely aggressive foreign policy that has resulted in US attacks on Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan resulting in millions of lives lost, many more disabled people, millions of refugees, and numerous related modes of suffering.
On the other hand, the invasions have created enormous wealth for weapons and war material contractors, and have resulted in the further weakening of civil rights in the core NATO countries to the point where police state methods are increasingly being used against citizens.
Meanwhile, we continue to find resistance from government officials to address the many discrepancies in the official reports related to the 9/11 phenomenon.
