The Two-Hundred Dollar Truth Challenge!

I'm not interested in quote-conspiracy theory. I'm interested in the FACTS surrounding the events of 9/11 and I need your help!

1.) I want to know why World Trade Center Building 7 (WTC7), the 47-story steel-framed skyscraper that was not struck by an aircraft which would have been the tallest building in 30+ states, collapsed nearly symmetrically into its own footprint and at near free-fall speed at 5:20 PM ET, 9/11/2001, some seven hours after the collapse of the Twin Towers.

2.) I want to know why human bone fragments measuring as small as a quarter inch and structural steel members weighing thousands of pounds were ejected some 500+ laterally feet during the collapse of the Twin Towers.

3.) I want to know why Bush and Cheney insisted upon testifying to the 9/11 Commission together, in private, not under oath, and without transcript.

4.) I want to know why an aircraft chartered by Osama bin Laden with Saudi nationals in tow was permitted to fly out of the United States on 9/19/2001.

5.) I want to know why the collapse of WTC7 was completely omitted from the 9/11 Commission Report, since the 9/11 Commission was chartered "to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks." If you relied solely on the 9/11 Commission Report for information pertaining to the events of 9/11, you'd be totally and utterly oblivious to the collapse of a 47-story steel-framed skyscraper.

6.) I want to know why only 5 little frames were released from a security camera at the Pentagon that do not show a jet airliner striking the building and why footage from the other security cameras encircling the Pentagon has not been released.

7.) I want to know why and how the airspace above the seat of a now-one-trillion-dollar per year empire, the U.S. Military Command Center (Pentagon), was violated or breached on 9/11. I want to know if that problem has been addressed or rectified.

8.) I want to know why our borders have remained wide, wide open since 9/11, "fighting terrorism" overseas while our front door is unlocked.

9.) I want to know why the structural steel from the World Trade Center was shipped off to China to be melted down and in such a God-awful hurry.

10.) I want to know why Rudolf W. Giuliani ordered that the remains of bodies of 9/11 victims were dumped in a landfill like garbage during his "scoop and dump operation."

11.) I want to know why a single human body was eviscerated into 200 pieces during the "collapse" of the Twin Towers.

12.) I want to know why 1,151 of the victims of 9/11 were apparently completely vaporized, leaving no forensically identifiable trace or artifact whatsoever to recover from Ground Zero. Leaving nothing to lay to rest for the families of the victims of this horrific crime.

13.) I want to know why National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigations were not conducted into the alleged 4 aircraft crashes that day as is standard protocol for all airline crashes until that day.

14.) I want to know how uncontrolled hydro-carbon fires caused observed ground temperatures of 1100+ degrees Fahrenheit five days later on 9/16/2001, according to a NASA/ U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) thermal imaging/spectrometer on that date, including at the site of the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 which was not struck by an aircraft, thus not exposed to burning jet fuel.

Rational people tend to agree that there is a singular truth to discernible reality. I demand answers to these questions from our corrupt government!

Now I want you to help me for a good cause.

If anyone can answer these fourteen (14) queries on this forum in the comments of this thread, citing ONLY "mainstream" media sources, then I am willing to contribute one hundred dollars ($100) to Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty or to the Presidential candidate of your choice (excepting any of the other candidates for the Democrat or NeoCon Party). Yes, that includes Bob Barr and certainly Baldwin, McKinney or Nader. But let's hope it goes to the Campaign for Liberty!

Here is the catch: you can only use a given "mainstream" media source three (3) times. That means, for example, you cannot use the Washington Post or Popular Mechanics as a source in answering more than three (3) of the rational queries that I have listed above.

Since he was the author of another popular thread on this subject today, I invite Treg to make the final determination whether a given contestant has successfully and honestly answered the fourteen (14) queries, but I reserve the right to be the final arbiter of whether or not a contestant has met the rules that I have listed.

So now, Treg, for a good cause, are you willing to make the final determination whether a given contestant has successfully answered the fourteen (14) queries that I have listed above?

Thanks for playing everybody! And may Truth and Liberty prevail in the United States!
