Stephen Lendman on controlled demolition of the WTC on 9-11 on the eve of the 10th anniversary (2011): “ A personal note. I was in a doctor's waiting room with others watching events on television. When the South Tower collapsed, everyone audibly gasped, unaware as I was how or why, let alone what lay next. When the North Tower collapsed 30 minutes later, unsettling thoughts crystallized enough to make me sense much more was involved than met the eye or what news reports claimed. It was almost anti-climactic when WTC 7 collapsed at 5:21PM. Notably, BBC's Jane Standley reported the event at 4:54PM New York time, 27 minutes in advance. Later she claimed she didn't "remember minute-by-minute what she saw," or perhaps (like BBC's management) doesn't want to explain how she could report an event before it happened without advance knowledge. Earlier in the afternoon, I smelled a rat and wrote my brother, saying: "They're drinking champagne in the White House tonight," precise words I'll never forgot. Yet they failed to imagine the horror-filled decade to come. Back then, the whole world watched the horrific spectacle, including planes hitting the towers, both bursting into flames, desperate people jumping out of windows to avoid incineration, and then collapse at near free-fall speed, later proved (but unreported) by controlled demolitions… As on previous anniversaries, they'll cover everything except what Americans most need to know - the truth.” [1].

Stephen Lendman (progressive , anti-racist Jewish American US writer) on WTC7 and 9-11 (2019): “A four-year study by University of Alaska’s J. Leroy Hulsey, South Carolina Department of Transportation bridge engineer Zhili Quan, and Nanjing University of Science and Technology Department of Civil Engineering academic Feng Xiao titled “A Structural Reevaluation of the Collapse of World Trade Center” was in part funded by Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth).It provided detailed scientific evidence of what caused WTC 7’s collapse, debunking the official Big Lie. The study’s “principle conclusion…is that fire did not cause the collapse of WTC 7 on9/11, contrary to the conclusions of NIST and private engineering firms that studied the collapse.” The official 9/11 account was fabricated, suppressing hard truths about what happened on that fateful day, changing the course of history. According to the study, scientific evidence shows that “fires could not have caused weakening or displacement of structural members capable of initiating any of the hypothetical local failures alleged to have triggered the total collapse of the building, nor could any local failures, even if they had occurred, have triggered a sequence of failures that would have resulted in the observed total collapse.” WTC 7’s collapse “was a global failure involving the near-simultaneous failure of every column in the building.” No “progressive collapse involving the sequential failure of columns throughout the building” occurred.” Nothing external to WTC 7 caused its free fall collapse in 2.5 seconds. Debris from the twin towers and building 7 was removed and destroyed to prevent a proper forensic analysis, AE911Truth explained. On 9/11, remaining remnants of rule of law in the US died. Endless war on humanity at home and abroad replaced it. Things are worsening, not improving — both right wings of the US war party responsible for an increasingly nightmarish scenario. US rage for unchallenged dominance risks unthinkable/potentially catastrophic global war by accident or design, including possible use of nuclear weapons for the first time in earnest — a nightmarish scenario if things turn out this way” (Stephen Lendman, “Another official 9/11 Big Lie exposed – again”, Global Research, 5 September 2019: https://www.globalresearch.ca/911-big-lie-exposed/5688163 ).
Stephen Lendman commenting on Professor David Ray Griffin’s book “The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7: Why the Final Official Report About 9/11 Is Unscientific and False” (2019): “The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7: Why the Final Official Report About 9/11 Is Unscientific and False” by David Ray Griffin debunked the official account of what happened. He explained that the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s official findings were fabricated. He accused NIST of falsifying and ignoring hard evidence, sticking to the official Big Lie about WTC 7’s collapse” (Stephen Lendman, “Another official 9/11 Big Lie exposed – again”, Global Research, 5 September 2019: https://www.globalresearch.ca/911-big-lie-exposed/5688163 ).
