Ed Asner mysteriously introduces new (?) 9/11 (?) mystery

What a day -- and at this writing it's not even 9 AM!

BrasscheckTV's giftie of the morning is baffling

Solving the Mystery of WTC 7: Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth
http://www.brasschecktv.com/videos/the-911-files/solving-the-mystery-of-wtc-7.html

.........yet spine-tingling. Is Ed Asner, heretofore one of the most hateful liberals around, actually sitting there telling people to doubt the network news 9/11 gospel? Apparently so, and one could not ask for a more dramatic addition to the real world, at least on this one issue.

But they're talking as if it's totally unknown what caused the fall of WTC Building 7. What's the big deal? Isn't that building most famous for being demolished by its owner Larry Silverstein in response to the destruction of the twin towers?

Everybody saw the twin towers fall, and everybody knew -- KNEW -- it was a meticulously planned demolition. Come on, this was fifty-six years after the Empire State Building survived an airplane hit, with construction technology advancing continuously for half a century in between! "Nature abhors a straight line," and the absolute symmetry of the towers' fall is enough to make a line of Rockettes jealous. Jet fuel, my eye. Please, no more insults to the intelligence, no more big fish stories where statesmanship and media truth should be!

Shortly after the twin towers fell, their owner was seen wherever there were cathode ray tubes declaring his decision to demolish WTC 7 because of collateral supposed damage from the towers. Meet one of the most side-slappingly CRAZY paragraphs in all of Wikipedia:

Silverstein stated in a September 2002 PBS documentary, 'America Rebuilds', "I remember getting a call from the fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.' And they made that decision to pull and then we watched the building collapse." Conspiracy theorists claim this saying meant actively demolishing the building using explosives presumably stored in advance in the building. Initially, however, this was understood as a call to simply stop the fire fighting efforts and watch the building collapse due to the fires with no people in the building at the time.

That's where Wikipedia leaves it. It mocks conspiracy "theorists", gives a laughable explanation of how Silverstein's prattling was "initially understood", leaves the issue hanging in midair, and goes its merry way profiling the toad-faced real estate genius who managed to double his already astronomical insurance payout on the towers.

Yeah, sure. People died in WTC 1 and 2 so you tear 7 down. (If my house burned down, I'd destroy another structure 200 feet away too -- wouldn't you?) But 7 was not an inferno -- it's hard to see any real fire or damage in any picture or footage of just before its demise. "Watch the building collapse due to the fires"? How could they ever expect to get away with such bull?

Wikip's article on Building 7 itself only adds fuel to the flames:

The building was equipped with sprinkler system, but had many single-point vulnerabilities for failure: the sprinkler system required manual initiation of the electrical fire pumps, rather than being a fully automatic system; the floor-level controls had a single connection to the sprinkler water riser; and the sprinkler system required some power for the fire pump to deliver water. Also, water pressure was low, with little or no water to feed sprinklers.

I didn't know the Three Stooges had become architects? Thus is bunk. Every day the lies remain standing is a day in which ameriKa could have done some real living but didn't.

Apparently Lou Grant has been a truther since at least 2004:

Dear Peace & Justice Leader(s),

I am Ed Asner. As you may know, I've dedicated much of my life to promoting peace & justice issues in America.

I would like to suggest to you emphatically that the 9-11 truth movement is the most pressing issue of the peace & justice movement today. Here is why. 9-11 has been used to justify "endless war" and a continual rollback in civil liberties that seems to have no end in sight. Yet, 9-11 remains the least examined tragedy in modern American history.

Americans would have never agreed to the last two wars and the Patriot Act's disturbing policy . . . had it not been for 9-11.

There are many disturbing issues around 9-11 that have yet to be examined in any meaningful way by our media, Congress, and even by the 9-11 Commission. These include accountability for the massive breakdown of air defense and plane intercept procedures as described in FAA and DOD regulations, which were violated on 9-11...

This breakdown and astounding unpreparedness by U.S. domestic defense agencies is puzzling to say the least, given the detailed reports our government had of the coming attacks, that were bizarrely suppressed by key officials...........

Surfing a hot subject always brings tangy other goodies. This could be Jesse Ventura's best performance ever:

We could hardly ask for a better icon of the truth movement than him, at least not from the northern half of the country. Behold -- his new book American Conspiracies ain't got the word "theory" anywhere on it! And look how he keeps the discussion on point on the interview. (He used to be a sitting politician!?!?!?) Keeping the discussion on point is exactly the amino acid missing from ameriKa's system. Too much fluoride!

Baba Wawa (where'd the rest of her jaw go?) and the other View shrews try half-heartedly to coax Jesse down rabbit trails on the show, but it can't be done. He's another RBC in a way -- his starting point was realizing he'd been had by his own government as a navy SEAL in Vietnam. The View girls have no choice but to admit the Governator makes a lot of sense; the audience reaction favors his remarks vastly more than their challenges. If this is how "mainstream" mega-hit TV is going, what's next -- David Duke as honored guest on the Tonight Show?

...........Neocon watch dept.: How's this for a variation on a theme?

Vision to America is a "conservative" group founded by the usually outstanding Gary DeMar. Its email news links range are often highly useful, but to show you what a mad world we really live in, here they are purporting to save you from fake conservatives.... by lumping Ron Paul in with Michelle Bachmann and Mitt Romney!!

Oh, sure, Chris Christie, Paul Ryan and Sarah Palin to the rescue. (BTW, who's Paul Ryan?)
