Connection 5 Hratch Semerjian, long-time director of NISTâs chemical division, was promoted to acting director of NIST in November 2004, and took over the WTC investigation until the completion of the report on the towers. Semerjian is closely linked to former NIST employee Michael Zachariah, perhaps the worldâs most prominent expert on nanothermite. In fact, Semerjian and Zachariah co-authored ten papers that focus on nano-particles made of silica, ceramics and refractory particles. Zachariah was a major player in the Defense University Research Initiative on Nanotechnology (DURINT), a groundbreaking research effort for nanothermite. Connection 6 NIST has a long-standing partnership with NASA for the development of new nanothermite and other nano-technological materials. In fact, Michael Zachariah coordinates this partnership. Connection 7 In 2003, two years before the NIST WTC report was issued, the University of Maryland College Park (UMCP) and NIST signed a memorandum of understanding to develop nano-technologies like nanothermite. Together, NIST and UMCP have done much work on nanothermites. Connection 8 NIST has their own Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST). Additionally, NISTâs Reactive Flows Group did research on nanostructured materials and high temperature reactions in the mid-nineties. Connection 9 Richard Gann, who did the final editing of the NIST WTC report, managed a project called âNext-Generation Fire Suppression Technology Programâ, both before and after 9/11. Andrzej Miziolek, another of the worldâs leading experts on nanothermite, is the author of âDefense Applications of Nanomaterialsâ, and also worked on Richard Gannâs fire suppression project. Gannâs project was sponsored by DODâs Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP), an organization that sponsored a number of LLNLâs nano-thermite projects. Connection 10 As part of the Federal Laboratory Consortium for Technology Transfer, NIST partners with the Naval Surface Warfare Center at Indian Head (NSWC-IH) on Chemical Science and Technology. NSWC-IH is probably the most prominent US center for nanothermite technology. In 1999, Jan Puszynski, a scientist working for the DURINT program, helped NSWC-IH design a pilot plant to produce nano-size aluminum powder. It was reported that âAt that time, this was [the] only reliable source of aluminum nanopowders in the United Statesâ, however, private companies like Argonide and Technanogy were also known to have such capabilities. Among an interesting group of contractors that NSWC-IH hired in 1999 were SAIC, Applied Ordnance, Battelle, Booz Allen Hamilton, Mantech, Titan, Pacific Scientific Energetic (see below), and R Stresau Laboratories for âdemolition materialsâ. A tragic coincidence left William Caswell, an employee of NSWC-IH, dead on the plane said to have hit the Pentagon (Flight 77). He had for many years worked on âdeep-blackâ projects at NSWC-IH. The presence of Pacific Scientific Energetics (PSE) in this list of 1999 NSWC-IH contractors is interesting because PSE was the parent company of Special Devices, Inc (SDI). SDI specializes in explosives for defense, aerospace and mining applications, and was acquired in 1998 by John Lehman, 9/11 Commissioner, member of the Project for a New American Century, and former Secretary of the Navy. Lehman divested in 2001. With this in mind, it is worthwhile to reiterate that nanothermite materials were very likely used in the deceptive demolition of the WTC buildings, but most certainly played only a part in the plan. However, other high-tech explosives were available to those who had access to nanothermite materials at the time. Like SDI, several other organizations with links to military, space and intelligence programs (e.g. In-Q-Tel, Orbital Science) have access to many types of high-tech explosives to cut high-strength bolts and produce pyrotechnic events. These organizations also have connections to those who could have accessed the buildings, like WTC tenant Marsh & McLennan and former NASA administrator and Securacom director, James Abrahamson. In any case, it is important for those seeking the truth about 9/11 to consider what organizations and people had access to the technologies that were used to accomplish the deceptive demolition of the WTC buildings. It is also important to recognize the links between those who had access to the technologies, those who had access to the buildings, and those who produced the clearly false official reports. To that end we should note that NIST had considerable connections to nanothermite, both before and during the WTC investigation. It is therefore inexplicable why NIST did not consider such materials as an explanation for the fires that burned on 9/11, and long afterward at Ground Zero. This fact would not be inexplicable, of course, if those managing the NIST investigation knew to not look, or test, for such materials.
Did NIST Look For Explosives? by Richard Gage (AIA), Gregg Roberts, & David Chandler From the article Explosives and Thermitic Material Brought Down Buildings on 9/11 No. NIST did not look for physical evidence of explosives. In fact NIST did not look at the physical evidence at all, apart from a few selected samples of the steel. The rest was destroyed. However, physical evidence did remain: the dust. NIST did not look at the dust, but independent investigators did. They discovered, along with the microspheres, tiny red-grey chips. They examined samples of WTC dust from different parts of Manhattan. All contained the red-gray chips. They found that the red layer consisted of unignited nano-thermite. Ordinary thermite is an incendiary: it can burn through heavy steel in seconds. The tiny particles in nano-thermite (1/1000 the thickness of a human hair) causes a much faster reaction so it can be used as a high explosive. The discovery of nano-thermite in the WTC dust was published in The Open Chemical Physics Journal in April 2009. The NIST Joke NIST spokesperson Michael E. Neuman was challenged by Hartford Advocate reporter Jennifer Abel on this glaring omission in the WTC report⦠ABEL: ⦠what about that letter where NIST said it didnât look for evidence of explosives? NEUMAN: Right, because there was no evidence of that. ABEL: But how can you know thereâs no evidence if you donât look for it first? NEUMAN: If youâre looking for something that isnât there, youâre wasting your timeâ¦. Wow. Thatâs a good one Neuman⦠The Earth would still be flat if we followed that circular NIST logic. Or maybe⦠did they know exactly what not to look for? A New Investigation Now Based on the verifiable allegations that NIST most probably has close ties with nanothermite and that they clearly never officially looked for traces of explosives, and based on the fact that unignited chips of nanothermite were found in large quantities in the WTC dust by independent scientists, we can clearly see one of the most important conflict of interest of our century. This alone should be enough for the Department of Justice to call for a new independent investigation with subpoena powers. If they donât understand that, we suggest they change their name to the Department of Injustice and Cover-ups.
Its not nano-thermite, its not conventional thermite, its just remnant aluminum from the aircraft and iron-oxide from the steel structure of the buildings. You folks are lunatics screaming about technical matters you have no background in. You're just whining haters. Nobody is listening. We regard you folks as mentally defective cowards and traitors.
NANOTHERMITE in WTC dust and rubble (all over the fricking place) and the "selected" NIST TEAM full of NANOTHERMITE EXPERTS.........random??? HELL NO..........

You do know that recent polls show 70% to 80% of Americans say 9/11 official story can't be right and new investigations should take place.......you know that, right? http://www.infowars.com/articles/sept11/poll_only_16_percent_believe_gov_on_911.htm http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/november2004/111104cnnpoll.htm "BELIEF'RS" like 377OHMS welcome to the MINORITY.............THEY have been CONNED YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek:
WOW......you ACTUALLY believe that one......WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So who "powderized" the aluminum DOWN to the size of 5 carbon atoms to mix with the iron-oxide?????????????? SMURFS???????????? :eek: :eek: Dude you took the RED and the BLUE pill THEY gave you......WOW, you swallowed them babies right down.......with no water! :eek: :eek:
Prove it! Do something REAL and SERVE the country FIRST HAND and tell me who the OPERATORS are working against this country! After a couple of years "in the field" then you can come back and tell me your crap.......in the mean time, your opinion is wasting everyones time since you have ZERO operational knowlwdge of the subject at hand! BTW, your name here at ET about says it all! :eek: :eek:
