  • It’s still a very strange looking collapse. But the sort of damage caused to it by two giant skyscrapers collapsing next to and into it must have subjected it to stresses is was never designed to take.

    And a raging fire inside the building near it’s base that was left to burn mostly unchecked because most of the firefighters were already killed or their equipment destroyed by towers 1 and 2.

    Controlled demolitions target the very weakest parts of a structure, causing a cascading failure throughout the structure. In a huge uncontrolled fire and impact, the same weakest points are by definition the most likely to fail first, so the collapse looks similar. Also WTC7 was built above an existing building, so it’s vertical columns didn’t go straight down into bedrock, they went down to near street level, and then transferred the load horizontally around the existing building. From the outside it looked like a regular rectangle, but on the inside, it effectively had a giant unsupported hole on the inside. Under normal conditions, structurally sufficient, but if you shake the ever loving fuck out of it twice and then light it on fire with no firefighters nearby…


  • 9/11 truther. Missile pods on military jets and fed reserve gold heist. WTC7 got me in. But I was also a welder and I’d been making thermite for fun since I was a teenager so I knew that jet fuel didn’t have to melt steel beams to significantly reduce its tensile strength, just several hundred degrees was enough to weaken steel. And I know the difference between thermite products and liquid aluminium pouring from the buildings, thermite looks like straight up lava, and in any case, you need way, way more thermite to melt through a steel girder than you might expect from watching movies. It takes at least half a kilo just to melt through the hood of a car, let alone and engine block like the anarchist cookbook would have you believe, I know because I did it.





  • Food hasn’t been plentiful for most of history. It’s been scarce and expensive.

    Being fatter meant that:

    • You had access to more food than you needed
    • You could afford more food than you needed
    • you didn’t work a manual labor job that required you to not be fat

    It’s similar with pale skin and long hair. Pale skin (or powdered skin) meant that you didn’t work outdoors. Long hair (on men and women) often meant that you didn’t work with machinery (looms, mangles ect). In many cases, fancy clothing, hair and makeup for men and women that took hours to apply was its own signal - you could afford to waste money on the clothes and servants to dress you, and you could afford to waste hours every day getting all costumed up.
