TOTAL INFORMATION ANALYSISTotal911.info::REVERE RADIO NETWORK::Total Info RadioWednesday, May 23, 20079/11 thermate theory debunked The thermate theory of so-called "controlled demolition" of the World Trade Center towers has apparently been debunked by its own leading proponent, Los Alamos weapons developer Steven E. Jones. Dr. James Fetzer, founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, highlighted this in a recent exchange with Jones: "You do not seem to have found BARIUM NITRATE, Ba(NO3)2, an ingredient in military versions of thermite, yet you have used videos of the use of military versions of thermite to illustrate its cutting power relative to engine blocks. I presume those exercises included Barium Nitrate among the ingredients. Don't these videos have to be redone relative to these analogs? How do experiments with thermite relate to work on thermite analogs? How do these "analogs" work?Fetzer likely meant to ask about barium oxide, which would be left after the incendiary reaction. And indeed, wikipedia's definition of thermate confirms that military-grade thermate contains 29 percent barium nitrate: "Thermate is an incendiary compound used for military applications. Thermate, whose primary component is thermite, also contains sulfur and possibly barium nitrate, both of which increase its thermal effect, create flame in burning, and significantly reduce the ignition temperature. Various mixtures of these compounds can be called thermate, but, to avoid confusion with Thermate-TH3, one can refer to them as thermite variants or analogs. The composition by weight of Thermate-TH3 (in military use) is 68.7% thermite, 29.0% barium nitrate, 2.0% sulphur and 0.3% binder.Jones has acknowledged as much in an article posted on his website, in which he announces he is now on the hunt for 10 tons worth of other, ill-defined "thermite analogs" -- any of which would still be woefully inadequate to explain the scale of the damage at the World Trade Center. .....| Posted at 13:07 | PERMA-LINK |
Strawman argument fails to address visible evidence of chemical cutting of an agent similar to thermite.
