Auch zum Thema "Einsturz von WTC7" ein paar ergänzende Infos:
Die Physiker um Jones und Harris behaupten ja, Nano-Thermit im Staub
der Türme gefunden zu haben. Ich will die Diskussion mit den
Verteidigern der regierungsamtlichen Legende, die diese Funde
natürlich bestreiten müssen, hier gar nicht aufwärmen. Aber ich
möchte die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Regierungsbehörde lenken, die den
Einsturz von WTC7 "untersuchte", das National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST).
Konkret möchte ich etwas zu den Verbindungen zwischen NIST und der
Nano-Thermit-Forschung und -Industrie anbieten.
Zunächst ein Schmankerl:

Perhaps NIST will explain why they have not looked for these [Schopy:
thermite] residues? The code specifies that fire-scene investigators
must be prepared to justify an exclusion. NIST has been asked about
this important issue recently, by investigative reporter Jennifer
Abel:
Abel: "...what about that letter where NIST said it didn't look for
evidence of explosives?"
Neuman [spokesperson at NIST]: "Right, because there was no evidence
of that."
Abel: But how can you know there's no evidence if you don't look for
it first?
Neuman: "If you're looking for something that isn't there, you're
wasting your time... and the taxpayers' money."
Diesen Exzess exklusiver und erfrischend origineller Logik, der der
religiösen Hälfte der Foristen hier bei TP sicher ein Gefühl von
Zuhausesein vermitteln dürfte, darf man sich gerne etwas auf der
Zunge zergehen lassen. Man sollte aber den Kampf zwischen Entsetzen
und Lachkrampf nicht allzu sehr ausdehnen, denn:
Was wir hier in den Bereich zirkulärer Argumentationslogik
transponiert sehen, ist die Intensität, mit der NIST bemüht war,
*nicht* nach Sprengstoff zu suchen. Und ich behaupte, sie haben sich
vor allem bemüht, nicht nach Nano-Thermit zu suchen.
Nein, der Grund warum ich glaube, dass sie sich vor allem bemühten,
kein Nano-Thermit zu finden, ist nicht in erster Linie der
Thermit-Verdacht seitens der Aufklärer (der natürlich auch), sondern
weil niemand besser dafür geeignet war, *kein* Nano-Thermit zu
finden, als die Herren der NIST-"Untersuchung". Man hätte vermutlich
die größten Schwierigkeiten, eine Gruppe von Menschen zusammen zu
stellen, die besser wüsste, wo man *nicht* hinschauen darf, wenn man
*kein* Nano-Thermit finden will.
Wie ich auf diese gewagte Behauptung komme? Connections. Viele
interessante Connections.
Fangen wir also an:
Here are the top 10 reasons why nanothermite, should have come to
mind quickly for the NIST WTC investigators.
Connection 1:
NIST was working with LLNL [Schopy: Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratories, wo das Sol-Gel Nanothermit entwickelt wurde] to test
and characterize these sol-gel nanothermites, at least as early as
1999.
Connection 2:
Forman Williams, the lead engineer on NIST’s advisory committee, and
the most prominent engineering expert for Popular Mechanics, is an
expert on the deflagration of energetic materials and the “ignition
of porous energetic materials”. Nanothermites are porous energetic
materials. Additionally, Williams’ research partner, Stephen
Margolis, has presented at conferences where nano-energetics are the
focus. Some of Williams’ other colleagues at the University of
California San Diego, like David J. Benson, are also experts on
nanothermite materials.
Connection 3:
Science Applications International (SAIC) is the DOD [Schopy:
Verteidigungsministerium] and Homeland Security [Schopy: Gestapo]
contractor that supplied the largest contingent of non-governmental
investigators to the NIST WTC investigation. SAIC has extensive links
to nanothermites, developing and judging nanothermite research
proposals for the military and other military contractors, and
developing and formulating nanothermites directly. SAIC’s subsidiary
Applied Ordnance Technology has done research on the ignition of
nanothermites with lasers.
In an interesting coincidence, SAIC was the firm that investigated
the 1993 WTC bombing, boasting that “After the 1993 World Trade
Center bombing, our blast analyses produced tangible results that
helped identify those responsible (SAIC 2004).” And the coincidences
with this company don’t stop there, as SAIC was responsible for
evaluating the WTC for terrorism risks in 1986 as well. SAIC is also
linked to the late 1990s security upgrades at the WTC, the Rudy
Giuliani administration, and the anthrax incidents after 9/11,
through former employees Jerome Hauer and Steven Hatfill. [Schopy:
Vielleicht wäre hier eine Pause angebracht, um die Nackenhaare wieder
zur Ruhe kommen zu lassen?]
Connection 4:
Arden Bement, the metallurgist and expert on fuels and materials who
was nominated as director of NIST by President George W. Bush in
October 2001, was former deputy secretary of defense, former director
of DARPA’s office of materials science, and former executive at TRW.
Of course, DOD and DARPA are both leaders in the production and use
of nanothermites. And military and aerospace contractor TRW has had a
long collaboration with NASA laboratories in the development of
energetic materials that are components of advanced propellants, like
nano-gelled explosive materials (NASA 2001). TRW Aeronautics also
made fireproof composites and high performance elastomer
formulations, and worked with NASA to make energetic aerogels.
Additionally, Bement was a professor at Purdue and MIT. Purdue has a
thriving program for nanothermite. And interestingly, at MIT’s
Institute for Soldier Nanotechnology, we find Martin Z. Bazant, son
of notable “conspiracy debunker” Zdenek P. Bazant, who does research
on granular flows, and the electrochemical interactions of silicon.
Zdenek P. Bazant is interested in nanocomposites as well, and how
they relate to naval warfare. MIT was represented at nano-energetics
conferences as early as 1998.
Bement was also a director at both Battelle and the Lord Corporation.
Battelle (where the anthrax was made) is an organization of “experts
in fundamental technologies from the five National Laboratories we
manage or co-manage for the US DOE.” Battelle advertises their
specialization in nanocomposite coatings. The Lord Corporation also
makes high-tech coatings for military applications. In 1999, Lord
Corp was working with the Army and NASA on “advanced polymer
composites, advanced metals, and multifunctional materials”.
Connection 5:
Hratch Semerjian, long-time director of NIST’s chemical division, was
promoted to acting director of NIST in November 2004, and took over
the WTC investigation until the completion of the report on the
towers. Semerjian is closely linked to former NIST employee Michael
Zachariah, perhaps the world’s most prominent expert on nanothermite.
In fact, Semerjian and Zachariah co-authored ten papers that focus on
nano-particles made of silica, ceramics and refractory particles.
Zachariah was a major player in the Defense University Research
Initiative on Nanotechnology (DURINT), a groundbreaking research
effort for nanothermite.
Connection 6:
NIST has a long-standing partnership with NASA for the development of
new nanothermite and other nano-technological materials. In fact,
Michael Zachariah coordinates this partnership.
Connection 7:
In 2003, two years before the NIST WTC report was issued, the
University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) and NIST signed a
memorandum of understanding to develop nano-technologies like
nanothermite. Together, NIST and UMCP have done much work on
nanothermites.
Connection 8:
NIST has their own Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology
(CNST). Additionally, NIST’s Reactive Flows Group did research on
nanostructured materials and high temperature reactions in the
mid-nineties.
Connection 9:
Richard Gann, who did the final editing of the NIST WTC report,
managed a project called “Next-Generation Fire Suppression Technology
Program”, both before and after 9/11. Andrzej Miziolek, another of
the world’s leading experts on nanothermite, is the author of
“Defense Applications of Nanomaterials”, and also worked on Richard
Gann’s fire suppression project.
Gann’s project was sponsored by DOD’s Strategic Environmental
Research and Development Program (SERDP), an organization that
sponsored a number of LLNL’s nano-thermite projects.
Connection 10:
As part of the Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer,
NIST partners with the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Indian Head
(NSWC-IH) on Chemical Science and Technology. NSWC-IH is probably the
most prominent US center for nanothermite technology. In 1999, Jan
Puszynski, a scientist working for the DURINT program, helped NSWC-IH
design a pilot plant to produce nano-size aluminum powder. It was
reported that “At that time, this was [the] only reliable source of
aluminum nanopowders in the United States”, however, private
companies like Argonide and Technanogy were also known to have such
capabilities.
Among an interesting group of contractors that NSWC-IH hired in 1999
were SAIC, Applied Ordnance, Battelle, Booz Allen Hamilton, Mantech,
Titan, Pacific Scientific Energetic (see below), and R Stresau
Laboratories for “demolition materials”.
A tragic coincidence left William Caswell, an employee of NSWC-IH,
dead on the plane said to have hit the Pentagon (Flight 77). He had
for many years worked on “deep-black” projects at NSWC-IH.
The presence of Pacific Scientific Energetics (PSE) in this list of
1999 NSWC-IH contractors is interesting because PSE was the parent
company of Special Devices, Inc (SDI). SDI specializes in explosives
for defense, aerospace and mining applications, and was acquired in
1998 by John Lehman, 9/11 Commissioner, member of the Project for a
New American Century, and former Secretary of the Navy. Lehman
divested in 2001.
