Just a quick note to let everyone know that despite the lack of activity on the WTCD blog, the truth movement continues its work (not everything of note happens in public, you know!)

As one of the articles from August 2011 below states, "since 2001, there's been a 15-fold increase in retractions in scientific journals"

Implications for 9/11 Truth should be fairly obvious. Links to articles below the jump :)

The interesting thing about this article is its admission that the destruction was in fact explosive in nature. Other than that, it's the bullshitiest thing since "the Towers had demolition devices built into them."

PARIS — A mix of sprinkling system water and melted aluminium from aircraft hulls likely triggered the explosions that felled New York's Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, a materials expert has told a technology conference.

Nearly 10 years after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks transformed air travel and robbed a confident nation of its sense of security, the Massachusetts Port Authority is facing a federal lawsuit that is forcing officials there to re-live some of the agency’s darkest days.

THE ORIGINS OF THE MIDDLE EAST CRISIS

This article is a somewhat condensed and edited version of a talk given
in Berkeley shortly after the outbreak of the Third Arab-Israeli War,
dealing with the historical background of the conflict but not with the
current situation, which was discussed separately.

If there is one thing that I currently consider extremely risky to the success of the truth movement, it would have to be any kind of reliance on the seemingly conclusive discovery of nanothermite chips in the WTC dust. It seems to me that too much of the debate that has gone on between "debunkers" and the truth movement has focused on whether or not the red/gray chips reportedly found by truth movement researchers are indeed nanothermite. I have read the paper by Harrit et al.

It's becoming more clear as time passes that the planes on 9/11 were secondary to the destruction they are alleged to have been solely responsible for. Since we at WTCD know very well that in the case of the World Trade Center the destruction was the result of pre-planted explosives, it stands to reason that we should consider that the same might be true for the Pentagon.

It seems to me that while the amount of bickering in the 9/11 truth movement has not necessarily increased in recent weeks, the recent publicizing of Cass Sunstein's otherwise obscure paper advocating cognitive infiltration of dissident groups has brought into more clear focus the need to address the kind of infiltration he advocates.

Moreover, this essay bridges all the interesting aspects of the LIHOP scenario in a manner entirely consistent (though unmentioned by the author) with the WTC demolition ZIHOP angle.
