  • Syllogisms for September 11: Logic Doesn't Lie

     

    This is WTC7 falling?

    A lot of people shut off their common-sense critical thinking skills when considering the events of September 11, 2001, because anything but the official account would be just too painful for them to consider. However, the logical contradictions of 9/11 are so astounding that they are really impossible to dismiss when taken objectively. And, unlike the official September 11 government reports, the principles of logic are quite trustworthy.
     
    When you challenge people's conceptions of these events, the reaction is often anger and hostility. It as if you are trying to take away their childhood. People become attached to presuppositions such as, "The US government is always good" and it is quite difficult to even allow the possibility of foul play. However, a brief look into "Operation Northwoods" in Wikipedia will reveal that a number of high-ranking US government officials already have attempted false flag operations against their own citizens and were willing to kill their own people in order to begin a war. The question is, "Are you governed by logic or by emotion when it comes to assessing historical events?"

    The first official report of the events on September 11, 2001 is so full of problems that even those who created the report do not stand by it. John Farmer, the senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission has said, “I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The [Norad air defense] tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years…. This is not spin. This is not true.”[1]

    This is just a taste of the disgust which grew on the report panel as people witnessed the obstruction of the investigation first hand. So how does the official report hold up when it comes to a little logical analysis? I've prepared a few syllogisms of September 11 and invite you to offer your own in the comments if interested. As part of your memorial to the victims, help elucidate the truth of what happened on 9/11.

    I. The Cause of Molten Steel on 9/11 at the WTC.

    1. Jet fuel burns at an uncontrolled open air temperature of 260-315 °C (500-599 °F).[2]

    2. Steel melts at temperatures of 2,623°C (4,753°F) or higher.[3]

    3. Therefore, uncontrolled open-air-burning jet fuel cannot cause molten steel.

    Sometimes venn diagrams can help to see information categories as sets of information and this helps to write arguments in more abstract language, as we'll see later in the post. Let's consider another possibility first.

    1. Experiments have demonstrated that office fires cannot melt steel.[4]

    2. Resource materials indicate that office room fire temperatures are not hot enough to melt steel.[5]

    3. Therefore, we can conclude that office fires cannot melt steel.


    1. Neither burning jet fuel in uncontrolled open air conditions nor office fires can melt steel.

    2. The official government report offers that burning jet fuel and continuous office fires were the causes of all high temperatures at the WTC on September 11, 2001.

    3.  Yet, at least 10 witnesses observed molten metal at the core of the WTC site and temperatures of 801°F / 427°C  at WTC2  and 1341°F / 727°C at WTC7 were recorded days later by USGS.[6]

    4. Therefore, the official government report cannot account for the molten steel buried at the core of each building. Though localized building fires cannot melt steel, thermite can melt steel columns, as noted in a video demonstration by Jonathan Cole, P.E.[7] This thermite was found in the dust of the WTC at four locations.[8]



    A syllogism regarding the molten steel could read as follows:

    1. Conditions X and Y can never achieve temperature Z.
    2. Temperature Z is always the minimum temperature for melting W.
    3. Therefore,  conditions X and Y can never melt W.

    As an alternative answer:


    1. Thermite can melt structural steel columns.
    2. Thermite was discovered at four locations of the site.
    3. Thermite has been the only valid proposal so far. (All other proposals for the melted steel have been shown to be inadequate.)
    4. Therefore, the explanation of thermite explosives offers the most logical answer for the melted steel.

    II. The Collapse of WTC 7

    1. According to the final official WTC7 report, WTC7 fell due to a "progressive collapse" - a domino effect originating with the failure of one column-beam connection.[9]

    2. The final WTC7 report also acquiesced that WTC7 fell at a free-fall speed on page 607.[10]

    3. It is not possible for a building to fall in both a "progressive collapse" and at free fall speed with no resistance.

    4. Therefore, the WTC7 "progressive collapse" theory is false.


    1. The final WTC7 report relied on a computer model to justify the "progressive collapse" theory.[11]

    2. The computer model left out significant structural members, shear studs, in order to mathematically allow for the collapse.[12]

    3. Any theory that leaves out critical information is invalid.

    4. Therefore, the final WTC7 computer model progressive collapse theory is invalid.

    III. Criminal negligence involved in the investigation.

    1. According to the National Fire Protection Association, the cause of a fire should not be determined until all the possible causes outlined (including explosives) have been tested.[13]

    2. If this protocol is not followed, it would be a case of unprofessional and criminal negligence.

    2. The official inquiry into the events of September 11 attacks completely neglected testing the dust for explosives.

    3. Therefore, unprofessional and criminal negligence were involved in the official inquiry into the events of September 11. 2001.

    The official report states, "We believe the 9/11 attacks revealed four kinds of failures: in imagination, policy, capabilities, and management."[14] However, the bungling apparently didn't stop when the attacks occurred.  Former New Jersey Governor Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton (Commission Chairman and Vice-Chairman of the official report) have charged that the 9/11 Commission was "set up to fail"[15]. Any child can see that the official computer modelled images of WTC 7 falling are not in keeping with the video-taped collapse of WTC7. Was the official commission more of an official omission? It seems so. Thankfully, the laws and principles of logic can help to cut through the lies and hype and help to clearly discern the truth. Logic doesn't lie or make excuses. Hopefully you won't either.
