Max Photon's Open Letter to Bazant, Le, Greening, and Benson - Authors of "Collapse of World Trade Center Towers: What Did and Did Not Cause It?"


Let's see what The Sissies over at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois are up to, shall we?

The Sissies? Max!

I'm not kidding. I mean it. These guys wrote such a scientifically-bullying article that they must be cowards - sissies - deep down inside. Remember the Max-im: Deep down, all bullies are cowards?

I was kidding when I was teasing my buddies at The Planck. But they are true Photon Fans - they like the truth - hence they do illuminating work. Their genius and drive keeps The Planck constant, for humanity's betterment!

But these guys - Bazant & Co. - no, these guys are sissies. Well, they write sissy papers anyway.  

Like this one below.

Here is the front cover of their paper, annotated by Yours Truly (truly):

* * * * *

Collapse of World Trade Center Towers:
What Did and Did Not Cause It?

Nice clear title guys. See the bullying right away - making you work for it? Ask yourself - honestly - does this title - (and titles are extremely important) - does this title give you confidence that these authors want you to have a clear picture of the subject?

Let me help. If the authors were not purposely engineering ambiguity, to later be used as a legal shield of plausible deniability - which is what all NIST cloaking devices do - they would have titled the paper something like this.

* * * * *

The WTC Towers Did Not Collapse Due To Explosives;

The WTC Towers Collapsed Because Visco-Elastic Creep - Induced by Thermite Reactions Inside the Perimeter-Panel Columns - Caused Panel Columns to Bow Inward and Fail, Thereby Initiating Collapse.

Executive Summary:

What caused the WTC towers to collapse?

Controlled-demolition!

* * * * *

See People, if The Sissies weren't an intellectually-thuggish academic-pseudo-gang - effortless induced by MILDEC Control Engineers to function as yet another dynamic cloaking device for NIST - (like STJ911) - The Sissies would have told the truth, and in a short, simple manner, that would be clear to the average person. It's easy as pie, if one wants to. But they don't want to. In fact, it's their job not to. (God, I can hear the whining starting already.)

Just for the record, here's how The Sissies abuse their professional standing to bully the world into submission, in their abstract Abstract:

"Previous analysis [by The Sissies] of progressive collapse [of the WTC towers] showed that gravity alone suffices to explain the overall collapse of the WTC towers."
 
Suffices to explain? Note the ambiguity. The Sissies are too sissy to say: "Gravity and gravity alone - not explosives - not incendiaries - not any kind of supplementary catalysts - (any of which would mean controlled-demolition) - caused the overall collapse of the WTC towers." 

Sissies.


Then The Sissies say:

"However, it has not been checked..."

It has by Max Photon!


"...whether the allegations..."

Allegations? Why allegations? Why not hypothesis? Do you see the thuggish condescension? Do you see the insidious assumptive close? If such big hitters are so...contemptuous...of the controlled demolition hypothesis - a legitimate scientific hypothesis - (especially because it's correct) - that they can only muster referring to it as an annoying after-thought - as the controlled-demolition allegations - then does The Sissies' condescension not inject an enormous bias into the research world - (The Sissies are big hitters, after all) - a bias that the controlled demolition allegations are barely worth looking at? And what if someone looks? Is a sharp-eyed Jane Doe supposed to disagree with, and then stand up to these thugs and their opaque paper?

What a clever way for thugs - sissy-bullies - to engineer a civil place to hide the truth in plain view!

Remember, though control is simply civil control engineering. Way to go, Flatland U!

By the way, Northwestern University, The Sissies' toxic spill has created a huge liability for you. Max is going to start chumming for litigious sharks - the kind with four foot dorsal fins - with Bazant's paper. I'd love it if you'd start splashing.

Dun dun, dun dun, dun dun, dun dun...


Anyway, back to Sissy Lingo. No problemo! Max will stoop to Sissy Lingo.

So Good People, please take note:

The Sissies are making allegations of collapse by gravity,

The Sissies are not making allegations of collapse by controlled-demolition.

But, the Sissies are making allegations that the controlled-demolition hypothesis is not a hypothesis, but an allegation.

By the way, why are The Sissies making so many allegations? Remember? The smeller is the feller?

Hmmm. Now they seem a little...nervous.


"...of controlled demolition by planted explosives..."

Explosives? Max Photon's Evil-Assumptive-Close-Early-Warning-System (EACEWS) is showing a big red flashing light (and two smaller yellow blinking ones), and when I checked the user's manual, it said the light configuration indicates military-grade deception, or MILDEC.

Why in God's Creation are you thugs not writing "by planted explosives or other supplementary catalysts"?

That is the language NIST uses - appropriately, I might add - in the NCSTAR reports!

THE SISSIES ARE LYING BY OMISSION! And there's a very important reason, a very nefarious reason. In fact, the entire Global War on Terror illusion depends on the Sissies' lying by omission.

(By the way, NIST plays this exact language game - "by explosives," while leaving out "or other supplementary catalysts" in the NCSTAR1 Executive Summary. Very clever.)


"...have any scientific merit."

By "merit," do The Sissies mean "nifty awards, and ribbons, and pretty papers published by the cool-crowd, and then entombed in PDF," or do the Sissies mean "truth, bought to Light"?


"The present analysis proves they do not."

WOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOWOOPOW!

Wow! That was loud! That was the Total-Pile-of-Morons-Detector (TPMD) going off until it just blew up in a shower of sparks and smoke.

How on earth can Sissy Creep Analysis prove the allegations of controlled demotion have no truth?

That is too stupid to even attempt to fix! (How is #%@!* like this getting past editors?)

You know, gentle readers, Max Photon has been around many a great painter in his time, and he sees the master-hand of the painter in the Sissy Collection. After all, what does a master painter do but labor after light with tools of darkness - in this case, opaque, abusive tools of darkness?

Like all good chiaroscuro illusionists, The Sissies even know how to paint portraits with pure noise.

Painting Portraits With Noise.

Real painters will know this as How to Paint Natural-Looking Portraits, Using Greys.

Well Max Photon is here to Punch Up Those Darks Using Dynamic Light!


Can you believe it? The Sissies are actually going on record - in front of Max, no less - that Sissy Creep Analysis PROVES the controlled demotion allegations are totally incorrect.

There! There's the fixings of the title The Sissies should have written:

* * * * *

Bazantine Sissy Creep Analysis Proves - PROVES! - the Controlled-Demolition Allegations Are Totally Incorrect - Have 0.0000% Truth-Content - Are Utterly Meritless (sorry - Nonmeritorious)- (and Hence Will Get NO Merits, nor Pretty Ribbons) - So 9/11 Researchers - Max - You Can All Go Home - The Sissies Have Wrapped the Whole Thing Up (With a Pretty Bow, for more Poof-Proof). Thank You For Your Pathetic - But Well-Meaning - (But Pathetic) - Contributions. Now Go Away. (My ribbons please.)

Whew! Maybe Max still has time to go on the offensive, hunt down, and kill this virulent ... thing ... before it spreads and infects the already depleted zombiexperts stumbling across this scientific graveyard - looking for brains to eat - (like Max's!) - just like in the movie Night of the Living Dead Eggheads. But I'll have to work fast! Where's that shotgun? Oh right! NIST took it for that asinine test where they NRA'ed some fire protection in a stupid little plywood box, and then hollered out...

"WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO! Yup! We just figgerd out the entire WTC global collapse mechanism! That's some Gross shootin' there. Now let's go swipe some more guns, beer, and cigs from the ATF crew before they come down from smokin' all those toxic fumes at Ground-Zero. Load the cooler in the front of the truck boys. We got some swervin' to do!"


Incidentally, did you know that a rusty metal cooler filled with ice and beer can be fashioned into an improvised phreato-thermatic explosive incendiary device (IPTEID) - similar to the one used when Flight 175 crashed into WTC2?

See, by me:  MAX-MIHOP Says - The Aluminum Components of Flights 11 and 175 Were Used as Aluminum Powder for Phreato-Thermatic Explosions

The rusty cooler provides iron oxide. The beer cans provide the aluminum powder. The ice provides the - well - ice. The beer provides the buzz. Now go put the iron + aluminum powder + ice together to create a phreato-thermatic - or steam and thermite - explosion. (The video shows the NIST WTC Investigation Team, hard at work, protecting the Nation's standards from corruption.)

In the WTCs, just substitute jets (with aluminum skins) for beer cans, and salt-water iron-electrolysis tanks (rust generators) on the impact floors  - cold ones in the Cold Spot - for rusty metal coolers filled with ice, like the cooler in the front seat of NIST's truck, stuck over there in the ditch.

WARNING: Phreato-thermatic explosions are extremely dangerous, and spew lethal material far and wide - just like Bazant's paper!

Submitted on May 27, 2007 to the Journal of Engineering Mechanics (ASCE)

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo........

Now the world is going to be hit by an H5N1 bird-brain flu pandemic!

So now - on top of having to show the global engineering community why differential equations don't work for teleological events - (Oh my God! I need to explain teleology too!) - Max has to become a one-man Center for Disease Control. Real nice. Oh well, here goes...

A Quarantine Notice....

Dear Dr. Bazant,

Stop leaving your toxic trash all over the place! You're infecting the entire globe!

Aren't you guys in civil and environmental engineering? Poisoning the global-public's mind is not very civil, nor environmental. So stop it!

Listen.

The World Trade Center towers collapsed because thermite was poured into perimeter-panel box columns and ignited - not to cut - but to heat-weaken the steel.

The WTC2 fires you see in NIST photos are flames from thermite reactions shooting out of the box columns' bolt-access-holes, and spandrel splice gaps.

The synthetic fires were timed to "migrate", and placed to create the illusion of "Hot Spots" and "Cold Spots."

Hot Spots and Cold Spots cause "differential heating."

Differential heating causes "sagging floors" [more like sagging logic] "seen through open Windows[XP]"

"Sagging floors" "pulled perimeter panels inward." (That's right people. The weight load stays constant, but the pull increases.)

From NIST WTC FAQ #2 - Why did NIST not consider the controlled-demolition hypothesis...?

"...the NIST investigation showed conclusively that the failure of inwardly-bowed perimeter columns initiated collapse..."

"Showed conclusively..."

"...the failure of inwardly-bowed perimeter-columns initiated collapse..."

Yeah they did - because of the creeps who caused visco-elastic creep by pouring thermite into the bottom ends of perimeter columns.

That's what initiated the collapse of the WTC towers!

(Remember folks, you heard all this first from Max Photon - Mr. Bright Guy - indeed, the Word.)

In fact, it was the thermite-heat-induced failure of the WTC2/NE/301/81-82 corner-panel column-splice, according to my research, that closed NIST's absurdly-narrow investigation window.

Once NIST closes its eyes - the moment "global collapse ensues" - it's Bombs Away! - with impunity. High explosives are used to break core-column weld-planes - as magnificently described by Sir William and M-Colombo - A+ work, by any standard (especially The Sissies').


You see World, as Max has said a hundred-trillion times, NIST isn't lying. 

The NCSTAR reports graciously tell the truth -  albeit the ambiguated truth - in this case, the partial truth.
 
For you dimmer switches out there, the ambiguated truth is a research bonanza.

"But Max, whyyyyyy?" (in an grating, irritating, whiny tone)
 
Because it's the truth for crying out loud! Good Lord, does Max have to explain the entire Universe - every single day? Think of NIST's and Bazant's ambiguated truth as 1/2 of a DNA double-helix.

Okay, you're still lost. I can tell by the mouth-breathing.

The ambiguated truth is like 1/2 of a DNA double-helix. That means the other half is a freebie, a gimme (...well, maybe not for you guys).

Trust me, if you put an erg of energy into thinking, you can figure out the other half of the truth-helix.

One half of the truth + the other half of the truth = The Whole Truth.


Ambiguity - a military-grade cloaking device - is being used to generate a veil - a screen - a curtain - of plausible deniability. 

Do look behind the curtain. (No, not that one. That's your mommy's dress.)


The "spontaneous collapse" of the WTC towers - all magic-illusion - all military-deception - all MILDEC.

Well, all the events you describe, and NIST describes, happened. But they were synthesized - engineered - using thermite (and possibly water stored in the Cold Spot as an extra weigh-load).

Just in case you're still lost (and it's been six years now!) - that thermite was poured into perimeter-panel box columns to heat-weaken the steel, to create the illusion of a spontaneous collapse due to fires, so thugs like you can write your pre-engineered narratives, to generate necessary illusion for the manufacture of consent to demolish the US Constitution, and illegally invade other sovereign nations, to steal their natural resources, to be used to continue propping up the USDollar, which defaulted in 1971, the fact of which has been cloaked using pseudo-gangs of bond speculators (more thugs) and the PetroDollar system, equals controlled-demolition.

God, I've written about this a million times!

Though its a long shot - (a very long shot) - I'll try again:

Thermite, poured into perimeter-panel box columns, to heat-weaken the steel, and cause visco-elastic creep, equals controlled-demolition!


Repeat:

Thermite, poured into box columns = Controlled-demolition

Thermite, poured into box columns = Controlled-demolition

Thermite, poured into box columns = Controlled-demolition

Thermite, poured into box columns = Controlled-demolition

Thermite, poured into box columns = Controlled-demolition

Thermite,  poured  into  box  columns  =  CONTROLLED  DEMOLITION


Thermite = Controlled-demolition

Thermite = Controlled-demolition

Thermite = Controlled-demolition

Thermite = Controlled-demolition

Thermite = Controlled-demolition

Thermite = Controlled-demolition!

I'd send you a peer-reviewed paper, but Scholars for 9/11 Truth & Justice (STJ911) - another NIST cloaking device - threw me out without warning (violating their own rules) a mere five days after I announced my thermite discovery - stole all my research - and then deliberately cloaked - and continue to cloak - the entire nefarious affair from their own members!

(Something about "PDF or die!" or "I have dust in my eyes!" or "Concrete cores!" or "Illegal font size!"  I don't know. It was all a slow dim blur. It reminded me of that religious acoustic-rock album, Logic - Unplugged. Or the Center for Norwellian Dynamics.)

Meanwhile, Dr. Steven Jone and Mr. Kevin Ryan - Editors of the Journal of 9/11 Studies - won't even respond to my paper submission to the Journal. (I think they're looking for more humor and less science, but what do I know? )


So Dr. Bazant et. al., please visit my humble website instead - maxphoton.com

(Remember, I'm not showered with confetti-money for my research, like you Einsteins.)

Read the two links below, and other links on maxphoton.com - including the questions I dropped into NIST's black hole.

Learn a thing or two, and then maybe you guys can stop acting like such a bunch of idiots!

Some of us are actually trying to conduct real 9/11 research.

But we can't, because you guys are making way too much noise with those heavyosity papers of yours!

Go play somewhere else. And take your stupid differential-equations with you!


Reading homework (for the...behind...group):

How Thermite Was Used To Cloak the Controlled-Demolition of the WTC Towers > To Heat-Weaken Column-Splice Bolts, So They Would Appear to Strip Naturally and Spontaneously

How Thermite Was Used To Cloak the Controlled-Demolition of the WTC Towers > To Heat-Weaken Spandrel Splice-Plates, So Their Bolt-Holes Would Appear to Tear Naturally and Spontaneously

How Thermite Was Used To Cloak the Controlled-Demolition of the WTC Towers > WTC perimeter columns experienced visco-elastic creep, bowed inward, and failed - initiating collapse - because of heat from thermite placed inside perimeter box columns.


Assuming you've gone to my site and actually read what's there - (you guys can read, can't you?) - you're hopefully up to a minimum Maximum Speed.

Good.


Now, let's see if I can't flick your paper into the garbage can from over here.


The perimeter-panel columns experienced visco-elastic buckling because the thermite reactions in the box columns heated the columns to 1/2 - 2/3rds of the steel's melting temperature.

The thermite's heating of the steel also caused the column splice-bolts to easily strip or pull apart as "spontaneous collapse ensued" - hence almost zero torn or damaged column splice plates in the FEMA debris photos.

Thermite was not used to cut steel. Thermite was used to heat-weaken steel.

(Dear Universe. Max is soooo bored writing those two sentences. Please make it stop!)

Since thermite was placed in box columns to heat-weaken the steel, that equals controlled-demolition.

Your proof went poof.

Your paper's conclusion that there was no controlled-demolition, is wrong.

Please retract your debris pile, and promptly give Max Photon and Paul Bouvet credit for having cleaned up after you.

(And please be professional about it.)

Incidentally, why is a cartoonist having to do the job of four engineers? (I only have three PhDs.)

Oh yeah, you guys sit around and watch finite-element-analysis cartoons all day.

Well drawing conclusions makes one a hell-of-a-lot smarter than watching them.

Hopefully watching mine will get you lumps off the couch, and out into the Real World.

Go outside, and get some Max Photons! It will do you some good.

Maybe you'll see The Light.

Respectfully,

Max Photon  

(Paul Bouvet says hi.)

P.S.

1.) I nearly wet my pants laughing when I saw your differential-equations tar-pit. To think, some morons are actually going to fall for your antics, and wade into that crap. Good one! I'm still laughing.

By the way, a bunch of your equations are wrong beyond repair. But since your starting assumptions don't include thermite in box columns, or in spandrel splice gaps, or in core member connections -  and since your conclusion is - well - totally wrong - then why bother fixing your DEQ pile of rubble? Life is short. So is Max's patience.

2.) I could waste time cleaning up a bunch of piles on the scientific carpet that is your paper, but I think I'll wait until litigators are paying me $5000 per hour for such demeaning labor.

3.) Consider nets, fashioned from ever-so-versatile Ensign & Bickford Primacord 2000 PBX-Based Detonating Cord, as a fast, simple, secure possible option for pulverizing the concrete floors.

Your assumptive close that zillions of little holes had to be drilled and stuffed with explosives is annoying.

4.) With respect to your 2002 paper "Why Did the World Trade Center Collapse? - Simple Analysis" please consider - as a scientific courtesy - adding -tons' to Simple. 

5.) Just so you don't get me wrong, I am fully aware that your paper is chocked full of accurate and useful unformation. Trust me, I will use your unformation to further uncloak the controlled-demolitions of the WTC towers. Thank you for dusting us off with your fine comminution. Your comminution is a contribution.

6.) By the way, since you guys wrote such a scientifically-bullying paper, I better not hear you whining that a cartoon character stood up to you and called your bluff, and exposed you for what you are - WRONG!

There is nothing worse - nothing more sissy - than whiny bullies.


Max

The end (of crappy papers like that, I hope).

* * * * *

Attention Onlookers:

If you think Max is being too harsh on these guys - or STJ911 for that matter - stop acting like a bunch of idiots.

Bazant's paper is a big deal!

The entire Global War on Terror is predicated on Bazant's paper!

Millions of lives depend on Bazant's paper!


If Bazant et. al. are wrong - which they are - and Max Photon is correct - which he is (as usual) - then the entire Global War on Terror is an illegal fraud, and its instigators - and those who provided material support - are guilty of treason to the United States of America, international war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

So no, Max Photon is not being too harsh.


Max fights honorably. That is Max's style - his characteristic light touch.

But Max does fight!

What the hell do you want from infantry?


GROW UP. WE'RE AT WAR.

Max is risking his life to end it as quickly and efficiently as possible.

So don't pester him about frivolous style issues. This isn't a tea party, for goodness' sake!


Bazant's paper is yet another NIST cloaking device.

Max - a combat officer in Complex-Domain Special-Forces (CDSF) - is trying to deactivate Bazant's nifty NIST cloaking device, to make the physics of the controlled-demolitions of the WTC towers transparent to even - well - you.


* * * * *


Note added October 05, 2007:

As my models become more refined - more simplified - some parts naturally fall away.

(I'm chuckling with you guys as you think, "Yeah, the whole thing.")

For some time now - (I'd have to look at past work to figure out when) - I have had the strong sense that in the end we will see NO HIGH-EXPLOSIVES whatsoever were used - not even the tiniest detonator.

I have come to use the notion "NIST does not lie" as a superb constraint.

I believe we will see that thermite - oh so versatile thermite - was used to:

- create an improvised phreato-thermatic explosion
- dust shock-tube
- heat-weaken steel connections and columns
- compromise visco-elastic dampers
- create visible fires "burning on piles of debris"
- create timed fires
- create migrating fires
- create hot spots and cold spots (differential heating)
- create buckling
- cause floors to sag
- cause columns to bow inward
- cause inward-bowed columns to fail
- and possibly, break - not cut, BREAK - core column weld planes (*)
- seed the idea of "molten steel," to confuse investigation
- minimize noise
- avoid detection
- avoid tracing the catalyst back to the source
- engineer plausible deniability (as thermite residue tests are ambiguous)
- put pre-school puzzles in front of Max Photon

(*) The idea of broken weld planes comes from MColombo, though he envisions high-explosives as the concussive force, if I understand him correctly.


The above list can be summarized by saying:


Thermite - exclusively - was used to initiate and cloak the controlled-demolitions of the WTCs.

Exotic materials or weapons - which are easily traced - were striclty avoided.

Thermite  was the only supplementary catalyst used in the controlled demolitions of the WTCs.


Note that NIST is not lying when NIST says that it found no evidence of controlled-demolition due to explosives.

See how the demolition plan and the pre-engineered narrative work together to cloak the controlled-demolitions in plain view, with the whole world watching?


But I agree with Bazant et. al.'s basic notion that there was a lot of potential energy in the towers, and that once the towers got moving - after 1/2 of the perimeter columns on impact floors were significantly heat-weakened - gravity did - not all - but much of the work.

The heat-weakening of core steel connections made the task a lot easier.


Ever wonder why the fall-times seem to suggest low resistance? Hmmm?
 

Max
