Governor Jesse Ventura Believes Official 9/11 Story Is False
Filed under: 911, country, government scope
“Two planes struck two buildings….but how is it that a third building fell 5 hours later?” asked Ventura, “How could this building just implode into its own footprint 5 hours later - that’s my first question - the 9/11 Commission didn’t even devote one page to that in their big volume of investigation,” added the former Governor.
Ventura then explored how it was possible that all three buildings could rapidly collapse at almost free fall speed.
“How could those buildings fall at the speed of gravity - if you put a stopwatch on them both of those World Trade Center buildings were on the ground in ten seconds - how can that be?” asked Ventura.
“If you took a billiard ball and dropped it from the height of the World Trade Center in a vacuum it would hit the ground in 9.3 seconds and if you took that same billiard ball and dropped it 10 stories at a time and merely stopped it and started it it would take 30 seconds - if you dropped it every floor of the World Trade Center to the ground, simply stopping and starting it on gravity it would take over 100 seconds to reach the ground,” he surmised.
“Jet fuel is four fifths kerosene - which is not a hot burning fuel - and they wanted us to believe it melted these steel structured girders and caused these buildings to pancake collapse to the ground?” he stated.
“I was on the site within two weeks after it happened and I saw none of these pancakes - wouldn’t they all be piled up in a huge mass on the ground and yet everything was blown into dust - when you look at it from that aspect none of it makes any sense,” said Ventura.
“Never before in the annuls of history has a fire caused a steel structure building to fall to the ground like these two did,” he concluded.
Having undergone Basic Underwater Demolition Seal training, Ventura is speaking from an experienced standpoint and he unequivocally stated that he thought the buildings were deliberately imploded.
“Upon looking at the film in super-slow motion and the way the buildings fell and comparing that to the way that they do like a controlled demolition of a hotel in Las Vegas, they both fell identical.”
“I did watch the film of Building 7 going down and in my opinion there’s no doubt that that building was brought down with demolition,” said the former Governor.
Ventura also questioned the lack of wreckage outside of the Pentagon after Flight 77 allegedly struck the building.
“When I was watching Loose Change with a friend of mine - he happens to work for a company that helps build the Boeing airplanes and they said that when the engines completely disappeared and were destroyed, his response was, excuse my French - bullshit!,” said Ventura.
“I turned to him and said why and he said because they’re made of titanium steel - they can’t disintegrate.”
Ventura said that the corporate media were going to continue to cover-up the truth about 9/11, but that the number of credible people speaking out and increasing education and knowledge about the subject would eventually reap dividends.
“We don’t want to lose our country, after all it’s still our country and until they put us down we have the power,” Ventura concluded.
The Governor’s bold comments about 9/11 come on the heels of similar views expressed by American icon Willie Nelson during an interview on the same radio show in February.

wow, this is almost completely ignorant. since when do governors know anything about phsics. i’ll just touch on the areas that take the least amount of time to point out…
-what speed other than ‘free fall speed’ should the towers have falled at?
-what exactly is the ’speed of gravity’? actually, gravity is not a speed but an acceleration. i point this out to illustrate how little Jesse knows about phsics.
-Jesse Ventura is as creditable as Ace Venture, he is a former wrestler not a physist. going throu ‘basic’ training does not make someone experienced in anything.
-titanium is not some ‘magical’ material, it can disintigrate. in fact, titatium is not any stronger than your average heat treated steel and its melting point is only about 300 degC higher.
-why would the government want to hide the wreckage at the pentagon?
-Willie Nelson does not know anything about physics either.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_gravity
But if his credentials aren’t impressive enough, then maybe http://ae911truth.org will have the physics experts you are seeking. To date he has 304 professional architects and engineers who have examined the evidence and believe that the towers were brought down in a controlled demolition.

the speed of gravity has nothing to do with gravity on earth. the speed of gravity on earth is zero. read the whole wiki entry and you will find that the speed of gravity is almost the speed of light, which would have been really impressive if the government achieved that.
of the 304 professionals… why not post one of their articles? Jesse Ventura may have been a professional wrestler, actor, Governor, Navy Seal, television host and best selling author, but that does not make him qualified to comment on this subject. in my opinion he is the type of person who loves the spot light, and who will say anything to get that attention.
regardless if explosives are involved, once the building decides to fall, i would expect it to ‘free fall’…
i don’t consider a 300 degC difference at those temperatures significant (in terms of melting points). whether jet fuel can reach those temperatures, i don’t know. but, there are more factors here than the fuel (like… how much energy is released when a plane impacts into a building?). my point here is titanium is not some magical, indestructable material.
lets just suppose ‘they’ blew up the buildings (w/ explosives). why would they also hire some people to fly planes into them? why not hire the same people to blow up the buildings?
if there was no wreckage at the pentagon, then why pretend there was?
criminals running our government… well that is where we agree. but they are just your common criminal, not psychos. there are easier ways to steal money… like writing a book on global warming and driving up the cost of everything… perfectly legal and no one gets killed. 911 was not a money making scheme… it was a message from extremists.

“Titanium requires over 3000 degrees to melt. Jet fuel only burns 1796 degrees. (Both fahrenheit). Do you see a problem with INCINERATING titanium with jet fuel?”
This is not as difficult as it sounds. An accelerant’s highest oxydation rate will not be the maximum temperature reached in a fire.
In other words- this is why a single match can burn down a forest of trees. The one single match has a pretty low (reletively speaking) amount of energy, but it still can create a cascade effect on it’s surrounding materials, causing the surrounding materials to have a “leap” in activation energy. Another example is the maximum temperature of gasoline, compared to the highest temperatures that house fires can reach- scorching and warping the siding of houses across the street.
I’d be interested in what chemists and physicists would have to say about this subject- particularly ones who work in materials mechanics (NOT individuals who read 16 or 20 books. I may have read approximately two dozen books in my path to becoming certified as a doula, but it will take far more than that for me to consider myself close to “expert” status!)
I guess my question would be- if there is indeed a conspiracy, could it be possible that this is a “red herring?” I see far more gain to the government at large in tipping over the first domino that starts such a conspiracy fantasty about a contrived terrorist attack. If the people are concentrating on something as paltry and banal as this- what aren’t they looking at? What is being missed? Is the “Hoax of 9/11″ attention leaving the true governmental fallacies hidden? (the slow but sure take-over of personal liberties as we can see in the mandation and persecutions involved in routine infant vaccinations and birth interventions… the government contracts with Big Pharm companies… the genetic modification of foods…)
*PS- Peaceful labor and birthing prayers upon the arrival of the latest blessing, whenever that will be!

Clara,
Let’s keep the facts straight. By your logic, the entire earth could be swallowed up by a forest fire because it just gets hotter and hotter. I know you know that doesn’t happen. There is a limit, and buildings don’t ever get hot enough to fall from fire. Look at this picture: http://wtc7.net/buildingfires.html . There are many pictures like that of skyscrapers around the world that are infernos and remain standing. You have to do mental gymnastics to pretend that the fire COULD have gotten hot enough to cause simultaneous structure failure from the top to the bottom of the buildings, allowing it to collapse without encountering any resistance (free fall speed). If you are going to try to use the planes hitting the buildings as the reasoning, then you have a lot more mental gymnastics to do with building 7, which fell in the same fashion WITHOUT a plane hitting it. You also have some problems figuring out why all the police and firefighters are on video saying to move back because the building is “coming down”, and “they’re going to blow it up”, and the owner Larry Silverstein saying to “pull” the building, and CNN, BBC, and Fox News all reporting that it fell while it was still standing. These were controlled demolitions. Look at http://www.ae911truth.org/ again and look at the points on the right side of the page. The buildings follow all 10 characteristics of a controlled demolition and no characteristics of a destruction by fire.
As for why the government would pull this off, I can only theorize. But look at what they’ve done since. USA PATRIOT Act, destroyed the constitution, destroyed the bill of rights, get away with wire-tapping in the name of finding bin laden, several wars to further their empire, terror is a now a politcal tool (which technically makes those politicians terrorists, by definition), and completely changed the thought process of the average American to one of fear. That’s how you control people.

John,
-Maybe you’re right on the speed of gravity, but his point should be well understood. You’re still attacking him as a person and ignoring his points. And I don’t think you need to be qualified to apply common sense.
- I don’t think titanium is magic. I think it doesn’t incinerate with jet fuel. If it did then jets wouldn’t work.
-Your other arguments really don’t address the facts, rather they are saying that you would have done it differently if it were up to you. It’s common to hear the “Then why?…” argument, which is when someone claims that the criminal’s motives or thought processes don’t make sense. I would agree, they don’t make sense. But don’t take your “eye off the ball” and forget that buildings don’t have complete structure failure from top to bottom and fall into their own footprint by chance. It they did then companies that implode buildings would not be in business.

common sense is subjective. science is objective. common sense is only useful in common situations. there is nothing common about a plane flying into a building. there is more at play here than how hot fuel burns. for instance, the speed at which the turbine blades are spinning. when a turbine ingests a goose, what typically happens is the internals of the turbine are completely destroyed and come shooting out the back in little pieces. this is not because the goose is hot enough to disintegrate the blades… it is because there is an enormous amount of energy in an object (the turbine blades) moving at those angular velocities. now throw a brick into the turbine. then throw the pentagon in at 500 mph. there are hundreds more factors that we don’t know about, not because we don’t have common sense, but because we are not qualified, and neither is Jesse Ventura. common sense is not going to tell you what happens.
but, common sense might tell you to seek out the analysis of physicists, chemists, architects, and aeronautical engineers… not a body builder. i believe my attacks against Jesse Ventura are completely warranted. when someone speaks on something they know nothing about, they open themselves up to this type of criticism. it is irresponsible to make these claims when he has nothing to back it up.
the same goes for the skyscrapers… the fact that it is on fire is only one piece of the puzzle. the other piece of the puzzle is that an airplane flew right into the side of it… what does that do to a skyscrapers base??? as for building 7, i am not familiar with it, but perhaps the fact that two of the largest buildings in the world just crumbled next to it, creating some shifts in the city’s floor… weakening the buildings foundation? i don’t know, but a civil engineer might, not a professional wrestler nor a navy seal.
‘pull the building’ - could mean ‘evacuate everyone’.
‘the building is coming down’ - could mean ‘there are pieces of the building falling on our heads.’
‘they’re going to blow it up’ - could mean ‘don’t those crazy people who just flew a plane into a skyscraper have any common sense… they’re going to blow it up’
i am sure my arguments fall short of the facts, but keep in mind that facts are found in journals and books and come from experts, the internet is not a source for facts. the reason i ask ‘why’ is because if at the end of the day you don’t ask why, you end up with a conspiracy fantasy instead of a conspiracy theory.

Ok, so you’re only impressed by professionals, so look at this page: http://www.ae911truth.org/signpetition.php and use the search function on your computer, and look for “physicist”. You’ll find plenty. Click their names and go to their personal websites and write ups. There are hundreds who can see there are lies everywhere.
And John, thank you for demonstrating the mental gymnastics I was talking about. =-)

You are doing what most decent people do: you project your morals onto others and assume that nobody could be so evil and they end up getting away with it. That’s why Hitler said “the bigger the lie, the more likely they are to believe it”. The crazier it is, the less likely it is that anyone would believe that you made it up. But I digress…
Your points on the goose in the engine are interesting. I didn’t know that it destroys the engine. That still doesn’t account for the planes incinerating and the terrorists’ passports (paper) surviving and landing on the ground. And it happened twice. But I’m sure that lie was for our own good… It also doesn’t account for 9 of the terrorists still being alive.
The twin towers were designed to withstand several impacts of jets. The designers said so. It was also made to withstand a 100 year hurricane. They were not weak structures. Go to youtube and look for videos of them imploding. You can watch the “squibs” that come out. Those occur in imploded buildings.
Building 7 was a block away. There were several buildings between the towers and bldg 7. There is no excuse for it collapsing.
Please just check out:

Here’s a demolition professional:
And look, they were running war game exercises that morning, where hijacked jets were being slammed into the World Trade Center. What a coincidence…

Greetings Earthlings–
But really what is the point? NORAD dropped the ball like I did when I lost the matches to 6 socks and when I forgot to set the timer on the oven for my pizza. These were events I made plans for. I have more serious examples but will not post them publicly. Since when is human error nonexistent in the government? This government is so stinkin’ obese can anyone be surprised that it can’t see where it is going, let alone- move quickly? There are legions of laws no one even bothers to enforce.
I don’t need Jesse Ventura to waste time reading physics books or googling ‘controlled demolitions.’ Doesn’t he have something to govern? Shouldn’t he be doing something he has some control over, was he elected to expose his government’s cover ups? It just proves his arrogance if he expects people to listen to him seriously on this subject. What is his demographic? I wonder…..
We will only have at best, second hand info, unreliable video & photos, and humans susceptible to their human nature (ulterior motives). I have no use for sound bites or image clips, no context and not reliable. Primary source all the way–please. Yes that means I have to be standing right there, sorry. And even then I’m susceptible to the limits of my senses (think David Copperfield). I’m pointing this out not to make light of the situation, but to direct your attention to the unreliable nature of the mediums to begin with & the power they have over perception.
I do not doubt the depths of evil people are capable of. I do not doubt that the truth is dangerous (but to whom?). I do not doubt people will cover their ass. I do not doubt that all this is consuming a lot of energy & time that could be addressing the root of the problem: People are sheep. :)Baaaa- I now must retire to count them.
PS Congrats on impending addition.

not a single article found here… http://www.ae911truth.org/techarts.php …is published in any type of reputable media (professional journals and the likes), nor has it been covered by any news organization (from what i can gather from the site). this is important, because when something is published in a journal it has to be reviewed by peers, and when a reporter reports on a story they check facts (except the new york times).
but here is one that is published and has been reported on…
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6987965.stm
as for mental gymnastics… my mind won’t do them anymore, not since it caught a glimpse of itself, in the mirror, wearing those ridiculous leotards.
Michele, Jesse Ventura is not the governor of Minn. anymore, but there is rumor of him running for the senate. in the meantime be comforted by his wisdom… here is one of his many quotes… “Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people’s business.”
April 8th, 2008 at 3:19 am
Well, I have a blog so I’m a reporter. I checked the facts and they point directly to “controlled demolition”.
I see you’re ignoring Jesse Ventura’s logic because you disagree with his religious standing. Shall I get into the beliefs of Alex Jones, the man interviewing him? He is a strong solid Christian. If I may be cliche, don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.
April 10th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Titanium…jet fuel properties…billiard balls…conspiracy…
ummm…Jesse Ventura’s in-depth analysis is as reliable as it would be for Hulk Hogan to offer us his own scientific reasoning for why the Titanic sunk. He’s one of the many celebrities trying to claim expert knowledge in something that they know very little about. The only material he’s qualified to analyze is spandex (and more recently perhaps whatever he’s using to sculpt his beard/goatee). I’m also leary of anyone who was in close proximity to Keith Richards during the 70’s (sorry Stones).
April 10th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Once again, ignoring all the evidence and attacking the person of Jesse Ventura is the usual tactic. I’ll give you the spandex joke. Very funny, but it just doesn’t refute anything.
Where’s Jake? Everyone else is here!

Electronic communication (as I’m sure you are very aware) is a difficult medium to relay accurate emotional emphasis. It’s hard to tell intent based merely on a typed message.
We have your blog on our Google Reader, and have been reading it for quite a while. You have a lot of interesting things to say- in fact, I’m willing to bet that we have a lot more that we’d agree about than disagree!
We don’t necessarily disagree that more than meets the eye is going on around the events that not only took place on September 11, 2001; but that led up to them for many years. I think we will have to agree to disagree on what is considered to be sufficient empirical evidence. More clearly- we don’t believe that the story relayed by the media is “the truth.” However, we don’t like the pseudoscience behind what some of these conspiracy “theorists” believe is “the truth.” Ultimately, what really happened lies somewhere in between. In the meantime, we try to affect what we can.
I’m not sure if Jake reads this blog… we could ask him?
Keep searching- we will too!
April 11th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
haha, Jake can’t give is comments… he is a government employee, he is probably fishing with Cheney right now.
