Examine my Avatar - the full version is here -->(http://picasaweb.google.com/philipdegenova/Firemanwbiganglecutbeam?authkey=Gv1sRgCOPewJT79Iey igE#) Its a photograph of ground zero taken on or about 9/11 - but certainly not too long afterwards as evidenced by the condition of the site and the lack of cleanup activity. Although there is evidence of tampering in certain parts of the photograph look carefully at the 45 degree cuts on the support column with an open mind and you will soon discover that perhaps it is the key that unlocks the mystery. If a plane had brought down the building to which this support column belongs then why does this photograph of it even exist?
This article is in three parts:
Part One - This is the smoking gun photograph that, for me, most succinctly conveys the notion implied in the adage "a picture is worth a thousand words". On the face of it the photo seems 'normal' enough - but there is much more to it than meets the eye, as we soon shall see. It was taken shortly after the takedown of the Twin Towers - most likely on the same or on the very next day. Supposedly the 'firemen' in the photo are surveying the scene and the fellow at the top left is apparently some kind of an inspector. The site is still hot and smoky and there is no evidence of a work crew having come onto the scene yet in order to prepare the steel girders for shipment off site. Besides that, not enough debris has been cleared away form the columns in order to allow safe passage for a work crew to come in to begin cutting. This means there couldn't have been welding crews with cutting torches on the job/site at that time. The steel support column that is in the center of the image right above the fireman in the center of the picture has been cut at a 45 degree angle. But the cutting was not done with an acetylene and oxygen torch. That type equipment does not leave slag residue behind as a result of the cutting process. Besides, there is the fact that welder/cutters working on a clean up crew do not cut beams of this sort at a 45 degree angle. That is called a 'demolition' cut - not a 'salvage' cut. A salvage crew will cut them straight across for safety purposes and to save time and labor. For the steel to have reached a temperature hot enough to produce the large amounts of slag residue seen on all four sides and on the outside and inside of the column there needed to have been an external cutting agent used - a highly refined and very sophisticated product made of iron/aluminum powder called Thermite and/or Thermate, which burns extremely hot and fast in order to cut through thick steel plate. Thermite is used by demolition crews in order to cut through heavy steel girders - at a 45 degree angle - so that the building comes down more efficiently. The 45 degree angle allows the topmost portion to slide away from the bottommost portion of the beam thereby facilitating the most efficient means of separation of the steel beams in preparation for the total collapse of the building.
Part Two - The photograph has been credited to photographer Sam Hollenshead. In the picture, the fireman in the middle, in front of the angle cut column is wearing a helmet with the #864. The numbers on FDNY helmets indicate the company or battalion the fireman is from. However, the company or battalion bearing that number has yet to be found, which in and of itself raises some interesting questions as to who the fireman/men might really be. We know for a fact that there were men posing as police, firemen, reporters, photographers, Pentagon workers, and military personnel (soldiers in uniform) etc., all over the place on 9/11
There’s something else wrong with this picture too. Something had always bothered me about the ‘looks’ of the fireman in the center. He bears the countenance of a model who might have graced the cover of ‘Gentleman’s Quarterly’ magazine - too good looking and out of place to be in that particular situation, and I felt a sense of the photo having been ‘staged’ and I think I’m right. The 3 ‘firemen’ in the foreground appear to have been Photo Shopped into the image. If you look at this image closely, you can see that the 3 ‘firemen’ are all the same person, in varying poses and positions. I think the ‘inspector’ in the back (upper left) looks ‘shopped’ in as well, and also his ‘partner’, who is wearing similar beige ‘overalls’ sitting next to a fire on the very left edge of the image looks completely bizarre and out of context - definitely ‘shopped’ in. Examine closely the left boot of the center ‘fireman’ and you’ll see that its ‘shopped’ in -its not planted on the ground in a natural way - it just floats there unsupported. In fact, the feet on all the firemen are suspiciously hidden, and they just don’t sit well at all on the ground plane, which is indicative of photo editing. Note well the manner in which the figures of the three ‘firemen’ stand out weirdly against the background - its unnatural to say the least. Their respective ‘poses’ are oddly frozen as well - further evidence of photo tampering. Ask yourself this - the two flanking ‘firemen’ - what the hell are they looking at over at stage right? - Very strange indeed.
The big question to be answered here is WHY is this image Photo Shopped and why would Sam Hollenshead be accepting of a Pulitzer for such an obviously fraudulent image? Was he asked (told) to fake the image? Was he afraid for his life were he to deny the accuracy of the photograph credited to his name? Or is he an agent of the government - a willing participant in the crimes of 9/11? I would like to have the opportunity to interview Sam on this one.
If someone were to bring this picture into any photo editing program such as Photoshop it will be a simple matter to see that the image is layered and the ‘firemen’ are models that were 'shopped' in. Keep in mind that this ‘iconic’ image won a Pulitzer Prize, so it’s not just any photo. In fact, it is among the most well known of all 9/11 photographs.
Its time to get to the bottom of the fraud. Doing so might finally be the ‘straw’ that breaks their backs. In my estimation, this image is the ‘smoking gun’ picture, and if properly analyzed, understood and unraveled -will unlock the mystery of 9/11 once and for all. Break this photo and you’ll break the government’s entire 9/11 fraud wide open.
Part Three- Let me quote another source from an article written by a well know writer and 9/11 researcher with several published books and articles to his credit, David Todeschini, who also has a website called Net4TruthUSA http://www.LuLu.com/Net4TruthUSA. Web Design by: David Todeschini of Telson USA Web Enterprises: Dave@Net4TruthUSA.com
We both analyzed the same photograph and we both arrived at similar conclusions independently of one another (excepting the fact that I don't believe that airplanes went into the buildings) and I have written him for permission to reproduce his article here.
I had also referenced a post from Phil Jayhan's "Lets' Roll" forum but he banned me for writing in a manner he apparently found disagreeable to himself and his cadre of 'admins', so I am not able to credit the source, becuase he also took the trouble to delete the 'cached' version of the entire thread. I must have a real threat to him. But it was actually merely a 'confirmation' post on observations I had already made and written about with respect to the Photo-Shopping of the image in question. I do like to credit all sources anyway, irrespective of the fact that I am not acutally making use of their material directly.
And I quote from Mr. Todeschini - The irrefutable evidence for a controlled demolition is my observation of the evidence that is “in plain sight” in the photo below. (same as you see in my Avatar) To my knowledge, no one else has made this observation although this photo is widely circulated. (I corrected him on this erroneous point) The photos above are ABSOLUTE PROOF that Thermate was used to cut the core support columns. The rescue operations shown here are PRIOR to the cleanup. People who REFUSE to believe what their eyes tell them will no doubt argue that this support column was cut by a welder during the cleanup operation. However, a PROFESSIONAL welder who is cutting steel for scrap removal would NOT make more work for himself by cutting the steel at a perfect 45-degree angle as shown in the photo above - it is “the long-way around” to make such a cut. In addition, a cutting torch operates by heat AND pressure of the gas. If you’ve ever watched a welder cut an I-beam with a torch, you NEVER see melted steel dripping off the cut as you do in this photo - a cutting torch ejects the metal away from the flame and thereby cuts a “slot” in the metal. Note that the 45-degree angle cut on this box column is completely consistent with the demolition sequence described above, and the presence of molten steel “slag” on the edges on the OUTSIDE of the box-beam is IMPOSSIBLE to do with a cutting torch unless you were cutting it from the INSIDE. It is therefore reasonable to conclude that the steel dripping along the edges of this beam was cut with high-temperature cutting charges such as Thermate or Thermite as is consistent with standard operating practice of professional demolition teams. Since these charges would have taken a considerable time to plan, and WEEKS - if not MONTHS - to put in place, is IRREFUTABLE PROOF that the World Trade Center was INTENTIONALLY DEMOLISHED, there was PREMEDITATION and COMPLETE DISREGARD FOR HUMAN LIFE, and the planes that hit the towers were a DIVERSIONARY TACTIC as alleged.
Use of explosives on steel causes an effect known to metallurgists as “twinning” - and is easily detectable with a laboratory test. Unfortunately, these tests can never be done (unless someone has a piece of steel from the towers - or a bit of the “slag”) because all the steel was hauled away to Asia to be recycled into - whatever. This removal of forensic evidence from WTC was said to have been done to clear the way for rescue operations, but forensics were NEVER done on the WTC steel. In legal circles, removing evidence from a crime scene is called “obstruction of justice” and is, in itself a felony. Whatever excuse was used to remove steel from the WTC site, there were no casualties in WTC-7, which had been evacuated that morning. Why did the insurance companies that paid Mr. Silverstein BILLIONS of dollars, not DEMAND that a forensic investigation of the crime scene be done. For that matter, what the HELL happened with the NYS Attorney General, the Arson Ispector, and the Manhattan District Attorney? I’ll tell you what I think - I think they were all either paid off by the CIA “Men-In-Black” - or threatened with death - Shades of Operation Phoenix.
The implications of this are unimaginable; that complicity if not complete culpability for the MURDER of THOUSANDS of people rests NOT with Osama Bin Laden, the Taliban, or Saddam Hussein, but with officials within our own government who HAD to have the tacit consent of WTC Security and Mr. Larry Silverstein who profited in the BILLIONS on insurance money collected for the “attacks”. The fact that the insurance company did not act to stop the removal of forensic evidence from the crime scene, and paid Mr. Silverstein after a feigned court battle over whether there were one or two “attacks”, is a STINK that has failed to get the “nose” of even the New York State Attorney General - or the Manhattan District Attorney who has jurisdiction over crimes committed in New York City. All I can say is that they are ALL corrupt, and the LOT of them should be ARRESTED and INTERROGATED. Anyone found lying or withholding evidence should be held under the USA Patriot Act (a fitting bit of irony for them), charged with TREASON and 3,000 (or so) counts of CAPITAL MURDER. If they are found guilty, they should be PUBLICLY EXECUTED in accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
