Chapter 11: A Gravity-Driven Collapse or No Bombs In The Towers

The towers were made of cardboard.

Explosions

The phrase "gravity-driven collapse" had become important because many contemporary reports, from professional reporters and eyewitnesses alike, had mentioned explosions in the towers.

Even the New York Times fell for the gag, publishing transcripts of an oral history project involving more than 500 fire fighters and other first responders, more than 100 of whom reported either explosions or evidence of explosions.

The towers collapsed upward in a very ordinary manner.

A Communicable Disease

This was puzzling because the hijackers were never even accused of bringing bombs onto the planes with them, so the lunatics who were especially gullible and easily distracted couldn't help wondering how those explosions could have happened.

They were starting to develop a disease called "there must have been bombs in the buildings" because they thought a gravity-driven collapse at such a rapid rate was "physically impossible", or so they said. And the disease appeared to be communicable, but only for a while.

It was a very ordinary thing to happen.

No Explosions Necessary

After Keith Seffen proved that no explosions had been necessary, it became very clear that all the reports of explosions were simply caused by panic, fear, and the conspiratorial mindset that keeps rearing its ugly head whenever ordinary events happen to look very unusual, especially if these events have the potential to change the geopolitical balance of terror.

Dr. Keith Seffen, an amazing mathematical
genius from the University of Cambridge,
loves fake math and bogus engineering,
but he loves you even more.


Ground-Breaking Logic

The ground-breaking logic employed here set a very fortuitous precedent: If something isn't necessary, then it didn't happen unless we say it did. And if something is possible, then it did happen unless we say it didn't.

Thus the gravity-driven collapse did happen because it was possible, while there were no bombs in the buildings because they were unnecessary. [1]

Coming Up Roses

From an academic standpoint, Dr. Seffen was coming up roses, striking gold for the second time in as many tries.

But now his ground-breaking work was supporting other ground-breakers, and anticipating discoveries yet to be made by unborn philosophers who will undoubtedly explain someday how anything of the sort could have made any sense at all.

Audacious Stupidity

It's amazing that anyone had the audacious stupidity to ask any further questions, but in a nation of 300 million people, most of whom don't actually know anything, there are always 50 or 60 morons who think they know all the answers, having spent 10 or 15 minutes on the internet. And the morons continued to ask their moronic questions.

John Gross loves you.

Hallucinating

It was a horrible problem until all the questions about the bombs were finally answered by NIST spokesman John Gross, who explained that there had simply never been any evidence of explosions at all.

Apparently it was just a rumor that had gone viral, the first responders who contributed to the NYT's oral history were hallucinating, and all the videos showing explosions which could not be scrubbed from the internet were inaccurate, probably because the primitive mobile phones which recorded those videos were hallucinating too.

There was a lot of that going around at the time.

and my spirit is crying for leaving


Bold and Patriotic

John Gross' expertise as a government spokesman served us well a bit later, when he carefully explained that all the molten metal observed in the basements of the former towers was simply a figment of our collective imagination.

This bold and patriotic statement is often overlooked, as was his explanation about the no bombs, but things could never have turned out so well if he had not said these things, or if he had failed to stand by them with a steadfast ferocity which would have been justified in support of a less fraudulent cause.

Burning Desire

We're lucky that no such cause existed at the time. John Gross played an important role in convincing the clowns that they'd been wrong all along. We can't even guess what might have happened if he had been tempted to do something righteous.

Dr. Seffen's contribution may have been even more remarkable since he is British, not American, and therefore he could not have had any interest in the matter except a burning desire to fabricate the truth, or perhaps we should say a fabricated desire to burn the truth.

Whatever the case, the truth is still burning. And the light of that fire will lead us into darkness, my friends.

Listen: James Taylor: Let It All Fall Down


He seems to tell us lies
but still we will believe him and
together he will lead us into
darkness, my friends
[...]
Well, it ain't nobody's fault but our own
Still, at least we might could show the good sense
To know when we've been wrong
And it's already taken too long





Note:

1: Fortunately, the "logic" which allows "us" to decide what happened also blurs the meaning of the words "we" and "us", so that "we" the government spokesmen can tell us "the people" the most outrageous and transparent lies, and "we" the people can believe them.
