- Is your "space beam" hypothesis testable?
First of all, I have never used the term "space beams." It is a derogatory term used to distract folks away from looking at the real evidence. The term was first coined by physicist Steven E. Jones within days of my first posting an article suggesting a high-tech energy weapon was used to destroy the WTC. It has been speculated that the purpose of using this name was to mock the hypothesis that unconventional methods were used to destroy the WTC.
At this point, it has not been determined exactly what weapon was used, but the general category of what was used is fairly clear. The visual data as well as the issues related to the bathtub fragility and ground shaking eliminate the conventional demolition methods that have been proposed to date. The buildings “floated” to the ground as dust.
So, is this hypothesis testable? Yes! And each of the phenomena identified at the WTC complex on 9/11 has been reproduced in a lab. We present this evidence here. This may or may not be the exact same way of creating the effects, but it is the same mechanism. |

- Why was "Star Wars Beam Weapons" used as the title for that paper?
This term was used because it is a familiar term that has been used over the last 20+ years to describe weaponry under development as part of the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Since little is known about the technology specifically, though numerous articles and Defense websites describe its existence, plus the fact that hundreds of billions of dollars have been channeled to research in this area, it is reasonable to expect that tremendous advances have been made in technology over the past 50 years since microwaves and lasers were first developed.
The title was later changed to
|
"Star Wars Directed-Energy Weapons (DEW),
(brought to you by the Star Wars Program)"
|
after I learned that such a class of weaponry was known to exist. That is, the evidence led me to this conclusion before I knew there was a name for it.

- What is a DEW?
Beam Weapons, Energy Weapons, and Directed Energy Weapons (DEW):
I have used the terms "beam weapons" and "directed energy weapons" to refer to unconventional weapons (exotic weapons) that are energy weapons. I broadly define DEW as Energy that is Directed and is used as a Weapon. The full range of these weapons is classified information, so I make no limits or distinction of categories within the realm of energy weapons, as doing so would imply specific knowledge of all that is available. In the following paragraph, I have listed some of the possibilities we are aware of.
My critics have accused us of insisting that beam weapons did their damage from outer space, yet I make no claim about whether the directed energy weapon operated from a space-, air-, or ground-based platform. Nor do I make any claim about what wavelength(s) was used, what the source(s) of energy was, whether it involved interference of multiple beams, whether it involved sound waves, whether it involved sonoluminescence, whether it involved antimatter weapons, whether it involved scalar weapons, whether it involved HAARP (more here and here), whether it involved a nuclear process (e.g. NDEW, more info), whether it involved conventional directed energy weapons (cDEW), whether it involved improvised directed energy weapons (iDEW), nor what kind of accelerator was used, nor do I claim to know what the serial numbers of the parts that were in the weapon(s).
What I do claim is that the evidence is consistent with the use of energy weapons that go well beyond the capabilities of conventional explosives and can be directed.

- Why do you think we need it for 9/11?
| It’s not a matter of need. It’s a matter of evaluating the available visual, ground shaking, and structural data. Though it is common knowledge that the laws of conventional physics were violated, the credibility of the physical and observable data to develop theories that withstand all observations is critical to the integrity to any conclusions. If analysis of this type is not undertaken, fraudulent research could be easily debunked, thus discrediting honest researchers and allowing the perpetrators to continue undeterred. |
return
- What can't we explain without it?
| There are many pieces of physical data that are unexplainable by conventional theories. The low levels of ground shaking of the towers when compared with comparable structures/levels of shaking and the fact that the buildings did not collapse outside of their own footprint means they should have acted like a pile driver on their foundation, the force of which would have destroyed the structure and caused flooding of the WTC complex and lower Manhattan subway system. |
return
- Don't the reports of explosions undermine what you are saying?
| No. The sound of an explosion does not automatically prove the sound came from a bomb. Not all explosions are caused by explosives. Cook a raw egg, still in the shell, in a microwave oven and you will hear an explosion. There is testimony from first responders about their Scott Packs "going off" and "exploding." After all, if the pressurized air tank, made of metal, is dissolving, at some point the metal tank will no longer be strong enough to contain the pressurized air and the tank will explode.
As both proponents and opponents of government complicity indicate, one cannot be sure that all testimony is valid. The observations of physical evidence via videos and pictures are far more reliable for determination of those theories that are and are not supportable.

return
- Can't thermite/thermate do the whole job?
| Thermite/thermate is an incendiary which may be able to cut steel, but could not account for the explosive destruction of the cement and other building materials in the building. Though supporters of this theory contend that it could potentially do the whole job, no modeling of these methods of demolition have ever been produced. The observations of tremendous precision in the destruction of the towers as they floated to the ground would appear to be far too precise for an incendiary. Further, the observed “toasted” cars, at great distances from the WTC complex, are difficult to explain with thermite/thermate. Also, unburned paper, missing windows and door handles of vehicles in proximity to the complex contradicts the thermite/thermate explanation and cannot be explained by it. |
return
- If thermite/thermate could do the whole job, wouldn't it be the simpler and preferable theory?
| Simpler is one thing, explaining all the physical evidence is quite another. Bubblegum is a simple theory, but does not explain the evidence. Although the use of these incendiaries should be tested, evidence postulated to support the theory does not stand up to the visual evidence. That is, there is no evidence of tremendous burning infernos in the subbasements of the WTC towers. Photographic evidence on the days immediately following indicate no such heat. A person observed climbing into the subbasements as well as observed liquid water would tend to refute “urban legends” that pools of molten metal existed there. No evidence of search personnel being burned or overcome by heat have been found. Further, when the buildings came down, persons running from the scene were not burned by super-heated debris falling to the ground. The air was filled with dust and loose papers. The dust was dense enough to block out the sun, but it was not on fire. |
return
- Aren't these weapons classified?
| Such high-tech weapons are classified and are not public knowledge. This does not mean they do not exist. However, as noted previously, piecemeal evidence of their existence exists in news briefings of defense personnel (including Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld), defense websites, and other defense contractor websites. It is common knowledge that recent Administrations have made weaponization and total dominance of space a priority. Countless billions, if not trillions, of dollars have been budgeted for space weapons development as part of the SDI program noted previously. |
return
- How do we know they even exist?
| As noted previously, this has been accumulated via numerous sources to paint the picture that they do exist. Further, past developers from government labs have indicated that they were involved in their development as far back as the 1960s. |
return
- Isn't this science fiction?
| Though science fiction has fantasized about DEWs since before the 50s, microwaves and optics (lasers) have been available since that time. That their further development could not have exceeded what is currently available in industry and at academic research institutions is not likely since typical military technology advances are 15-20 years ahead of that which is known on the street. |
return
- What are "toasted" cars?
| The term "toasted" (as in "toasted cars") is a generic term used for the odd destruction seen on vehicles around southern Manhattan, but is not limited to vehicles. A "toasted" vehicle means, "That vehicle is history; it's toast." It's a general term for an unknown process and does not necessarily imply heat. |
return
- Why do the "toasted" cars matter?
| The “toasted” cars matter because they are observable evidence. If a theory cannot explain all the evidence, then it must be incomplete at best, incorrect at worst. That other theories do not explain this phenomenon lend credence to the DEW theory which could easily explain this through reflection and refraction of directed energy at the WTC site. |
return
- Why does the bathtub matter?
| The foundation of the WTC towers were build on bedrock below the Hudson River. The bathtub served as a dike to hold back the Hudson River. The bathtub matters because its lack of damage is evidence. Remember, 500,000 tons of debris were supposed to have fallen in roughly the footprint of the towers, according to the OGCT. Since debris did not pile up outside the footprint of the towers, either the debris hammered down on the bathtub or it disappeared in a cloud of dust (observed). That there was no damage to this fragile layer of reinforced concrete at the very base, in the bathtub, when there is such total devastation to the concrete within the structures themselves, is horribly inconsistent. The fact that failure of this structure would have led to the flooding of the subway system in lower Manhattan is another reason that its lack of damage is significant. |
return
- Why does pulverization matter?
| Pulverization matters because it requires an energy mechanism that allows the building to be destroyed without destroying the bathtub. Further, it is consistent with the lack of ground shaking that would be expected based on the mass of the buildings and the footprint within which the debris should have collapsed. Further, it explains the tremendous dust clouds and layers of dust found over many square miles of Manhattan. Last, it explains the lack of damage to neighboring structures (WTC 4, 5, and 6) due to falling debris which is not found in the vertical damage there. Non-WTC structures showed little damage except for one vertical cut in one building and some dust, minor debris, and broken windows elsewhere. |
return
- Why care about the speed of destruction?
| The speed of destruction is important because even other conventional methods (or proposed methods in the case of thermite/thermate) would have considerable difficulty in producing the destruction times that were noted (nearly at freefall speed in a vacuum). By eliminating other methods of demolition, the focus can turn to the totality of the evidence that cannot and has never been explained by conventional means, not to mention the OCT.

- Can you construct a destruction simulation?
A destruction simulation can be created, though not knowing the specific properties of what exactly caused the destruction, it will not be perfect. What was used has never been acknowledged to exist in source information within the public domain. DEW weapons are thought to still have top secret desginations for the most part, however some are now acknowledged to be either in existence or in production. It is evident in all of the visual pictorial evidence. That this evidence has not been taken into account to this point (vertical holes in WTC 5 and 6 and WTC3 between collapse of the Twin Towers, the toasted cars, the lack of damage to the bathtub, ...and low levels of ground shaking related to the building mass and footprint) is all the more important in that the evidence can be explained by technology the Pentagon has indicated it is pursuing, but has not publicly acknowledged that it has deployed. It can also be assumed that other countries have made similar advances.
Each of the phenomena identified at the WTC complex on 9/11 have been reproduced in a lab. We present this evidence here. This may or may not be the exact same way of creating the effects, but it is the same mechanism. |
return
- If not, why should we take you seriously?
As noted previously, the visual evidence provides the best description of what happened. Look at all of the various anomalies pointed about by the research shown (here, here, here, and here). Note that all anomalies can be explained by this mechanism.
The fact that other theories have already been debunked by NIST (thermite/thermate, bombs-in-the-building) and the fact that it is a physical impossibility that the buildings turned to dust on their own through fire-induced collapse, some source of energy was utilized. The vertical holes in WTC 5 & WTC 6 are very incriminating. No debris is found in the holes and they are perfectly vertical like the Etch-A-Sketch lines drawn on the famous children's toy. Something removed this material in (approximately) 24 foot swaths. Something broke down the steel, concrete, and other building materials in the Twin Towers symmetrically and at freefall speed in a vacuum. No other explanation has been given for this. |
return
- Where would all that energy come from?
The buildings and their contents were turned to dust. They were not vaporized or melted.
The energy may not be as tremendous as needed to vaporize or melt the masses of the two towers. It may be analogous to a microwave oven in that certain electromagnetic or sonic waves are used to excite the specific materials in the buildings to allow them to turn to dust without heating or vaporizing. Remember what we saw, not what theoretical known science tells you how to interpret what you saw. The sources of this energy may be from solar collectors in space or transmitted from ground based sources using transmission in the atmosphere with aircraft or satellite technology. |
return
- Is your hypothesis like "aliens did it"?
| No, it is based on known technology, known research on SDI, the amount of investment in such research, the progression of known technology and optics, and above all the visible evidence. The visual evidence is key and eliminates other forms of technology. |
return
- If your theory is so flaky, why is it being attacked to viciously all over the place?
| That is a great question. If you think about it, a theory explains all the visual evidence is called "flaky", yet is attacked visciously, though is not debunked. It is simply called crazy and looney. As most Truthers should understand by now, the more something is attacked, the more likely it is that this researcher is on to something. |
return
- What hypothesis, precisely, are you willing to commit yourself to at this stage of research?
| The hypothesis that the WTC buildings were all destroyed in a way that has never been seen before is consistent with the use of Directed Energy Weapons. |
return
- Steven Jones and Greg Jenkins say it would take five times the earth's energy output to destroy the WTC. So, doesn't that mean that you've been debunked?
| Are the towers still there? If they have been destroyed, then obviously there was enough energy to destroy them in the way they were destroyed. Does Steven Jones or Greg Jenkins believe the towers are still standing? |
return
- Exactly how much energy would be required to pulverize the WTC towers?
| This is not known. Different methods could produce different results. What is known is that the Twin Towers were turned to dust. Cars and trucks were toasted in spots and left perfectly intact in others. Vertical holes were opened in other WTC buildings and the Bankers Trust building. Only the buildings of the WTC were destroyed that day and the physical anomalies of missing building volume of the Twin Towers cannot be explained by any other theory. The Twin Towers were turned to dust, so obviously there was enough energy to do this. (The fact that it happened is proof that it is possible.) |
return
- Why do some people (i.e. Steven Jones, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Myers) get so nervous when asked about directed energy weapons?
This is a good question.
Steven Jones: Consider that his entire carreer has focused on energy and has been funded by the Department of Energy (DOE). He also has worked at Los Alamos, where Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) were developed. Steven Jones was involved in the "debunking" of cold fusion. (more -- google "heavy watergate")
Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Myers: In a press conference with these two people, Donald Rumsfeld essentially admitted that DEW was being used in Iraq. This admission by Donald Rumsfeld appeared to cause Richard Myers a great deal of discomfort (or shame?). (Downloadable versions are provided for mov (17.5 Mb) and wmv (6.6 Mb) formats.)

return
- Is it possible that some of the mass of the towers was converted to energy (E=mc2), and if so, does this help satisfy the energy requirement problem?
| The gravitational potential energy (PE = mgh) is not enough to destroy the WTC towers. More energy is needed. But, the energy required to destroy the building would depend on the mechanism involved. Yes, it is possible. |
return
- A bright glow is observed on several videos, occurring about the time the disintegration of WTC1 is finished and the mushroom cloud is well formed. Do you think this is something real, or just a video artifact of some sort?
| WTC1 is finished and the mushroom cloud is well formed. Is this something real, or just a video artifact of some sort? This is difficult to say. Again, not knowing specifically what it was that destroyed the towers (again, there is no debate that they buildings were widely converted to dust, not rubble) it is difficult to know if that was a video artifact or an actual piece of evidence. |
return
- You've coined the term "dustification" to describe what happened to the towers. Can you define this?
| The buildings were turned to dust. The exact mechanism is not known, but it is known that there was such a process. The term, dustification, is given to refer to this, yet-to-be-defined, mechanism. Dustification means that the buildings were not melted, evaporated, or turned to course rubble. It is a known fact that the contents of the Twin Towers were converted to very fine dust that covered much of lower Manhattan several inches deep. It can be seen as the buildings came down that the mass above the demolition wave is no longer there, is not falling past the demolition wave and is not in its original condition. Where did it go? All that is left is a giant cloud of dust that moves with great force throughout downtown Manhattan and drifts away with the wind. No hot embers were noted anywhere in Manhattan as seen by the loose sheets of paper everywhere that are not burning right next to the toasted cars that are. |
return
- Could the 47 massive steel columns (in each tower) have fallen in the sub level basements? Could this be the reason it's not visible in the photographs? If not, why not?
|
What would have caused them to collapse at the bottom? Did we see the bottom of the building pulling in at the same time the top of the building is coming down? Could all of the floor truss connections all have failed at the exact same time? This is highly unlikely due to visual evidence. There are massive open holes in the sub-basements that cannot be explained. If the core columns were in there, wouldn't there mass have filled much of the holes that existed post collapse? Again, look at the visual evidence and see for yourself. In addition, a video of the first rescue workers going into the basement records an obvious echo, indicating the basement had large open areas.

- Why was WTC 6 pulled with cables?
| That is a good question. However, the proper parties to ask are those who did it. The proper parties to have done the asking were NIST investigators and other governmental investigators. To my knowledge, the governmental investigators did not do so. |
return
- What about the sound of explosions? Were there explosives planted in the building?
The sound of an explosion does not automatically prove the sound came from a bomb. Not all explosions are caused by explosives. Cook a raw egg, still in the shell, in a microwave oven and you will hear an explosion. There is testimony from first responders about their Scott Packs "going off" and "exploding." After all, if the pressurized air tank, made of metal, is dissolving, at some point the metal tank will no longer be strong enough to contain the pressurized air and the tank will explode.

return
- What about the "molten metal"?
return
- What about "fires lasting for 99 days"?
There has been no physical evidence of actual fires (or smoldering fires) at the WTC complex after 9/11. However there was (and continues to be, but to a lesser degree) evidence of "fuming," which is consistent with molecular dissociation.

- You were "caught on tape" saying that we should not get distracted by numbers when asked exactly how much energy would be required to destroy the WTC. Is this true?
| Yes, I do believe it is a distraction to focus on "numbers." What is the purpose of these "numbers"? Do you wish to prove the towers are gone? Or do you wish to prove that the towers are still there? Why not just look and see?
:-)
It is curious why Steven Jones has insisted that I produce such calculations, but has made no such calculations for how much thermite would be required, nor how much thermate would be required, nor how much superthermite would be required, nor how much nano-enhanced thermite would be required, nor how much spray-on thermite would be required, nor how much of whatever he is now proposing would be required.

- That video of you with Greg Jenkins really discredits the "truth movemnt." Shame on you.
| A manipulated video has been promoted on the internet that is equivalent to drawing a mustache on my photograph. Perhaps you may want to ask the individuals promoting it what their motivation is and if their motivation is to discredit the "truth movement." You may also want to ask those promoting this video why I am so important to them. |
