STOP! WAIT! Hold everything!

Yesterday on the news, I heard that the USS New York was being dedicated. The newsworthy part of the story was that the ship was built using about seven and a half tons of steel from the fallen World Trade Center buildings. Cue the dramatic music! Cue the double exposed view of the ship, with an American flag washed across the screen.

STOP! WAIT! Hold everything!

Seriously, back up a second. The Navy commissioned an assault ship to be constructed, in part, of reclaimed steel from the buildings that collapsed on 9/11. But according to the official story, that steel melted at temperatures FAR lower than it should have. (Steel generally melts at 2500 degrees, where jet fuel tends to burn at 550 degrees.) So why on EARTH would the US Navy commission the construction of a ship using this compromised steel? Is anyone worried about this?

And wouldn't building the ship have proven more difficult given the odd characteristics of this steel? Surely this metal, which has a melting point 1/4 the temperature it SHOULD have, made the construction of the ship problematic?

And shouldn't the public be a) outraged at the company that manufactured this faulty steel to begin with, or b) worry for the safety of every person who works in any tall building, or c) be curious why, except for September 11th, 2001, no other building, in the history of civilization, has never collapsed into its own footprint without controlled demolition?

So either, we accept the official story, and worry for the safety of the men and women who will serve aboard this ship, or we don't accept the official story, because this is just one more hole in it. Think about that.

There are hundreds, possibly thousands, of reasons why we shouldn't accept the official story. Set aside a few minutes to think about just ONE of the holes in the story. It really is mind-boggling. One example is the fact that WTC7 fell to the ground in dust, despite the fact that it was not hit by a plane!

There is an old Chinese proverb that says: A wise man makes his own decisions; an ignorant man follows public opinion. Do some research; ask some questions; look for answers.

It is in the unanswered, or inaccurately-answered, questions that you will find your OWN opinion.
