Dr Graeme MacQueen’s eloquent introduction to the International Hearings on the Events of September 11, 2001 (Toronto Hearings) is a useful starting point for those unfamiliar with this recent event…
On the third day of the hearings, Dr Niels Harrit gave a presentation. If you’re not familiar with Dr Harrit‘s work from previous material on this website – or from other sources – I suggest watching the whole video (see below). Including questions and answers, it takes approximately two hours.
If you don’t have time, the part of the video most directly relevant to this particular article begins at 53 mins 45 secs, when Dr Harrit discusses the human health consequences of breathing dust from the collapsed WTC. His discussion on that subject runs for approximately 15 minutes at the end of his speech.
The key point is that carbon nanotubes have been found in lung tissue from first responders(‘first responders are the heroic folk who pitched in, immediately after the 9/11 debacle, to help with rescue and clean up).
It’s estimated at least 60,000 workers contributed in the early and most dangerous stages.
As I pointed out in a previous article, Blind Freddy himself could deduce on the day that the dust was dangerous. Even so, Bush Administration EPA chief Christie Whitman gave some unequivocal guarantees, as early as September 15th:
“I am glad to reassure the people of New York and Washington, D.C. that their air is safe to breathe and their water is safe to drink…. The concentrations are such that they don’t pose a health hazard…We’re going to make sure everybody is safe“
It was a scandalous deception that probably contributed to very lax protective measures taken by clean-up workers and their supervisors. Many workers had no respirators. Some breathed the foul air directly.
The dust must have included all sorts of extremely unpleasant things, including particles of asbestos. Small wonder there’s been an epidemic of disease among the surviving first responders. Last year, Congress finally granted funds for the health care of first responders. It was late in coming and less than what’s needed, but amazingly it represented the first tangible gesture to compensate tens of thousands of Americans initially lionized as heroes, then discarded like garbage.
However, Dr Harrit’s explosive new information, shared with the conference, is that carbon nanotubes have been found in the lung tissue of first responders. The discovery was made by a group of doctors at Mount Sinai Medical School in Manhatten and published last year in the journal Experimental Health Perspectives. See: Case Report: Lung Disease in World Trade Center Responders Exposed to Dust and Smoke: Carbon Nanotubes Found in the Lungs of World Trade Center Patients and Dust Samples.
These highly unusual tiny threads of carbon are not ‘normally’ found in lung tissue – even in the lung tissue of people who’ve contracted severe lung dieseases. Dr Harrit’s hypothesis is that carbon nanotubes were formed during the microscopic thermitic reactions that took place when the three buildings were brought down in controlled demolitions.
If that hypothesis is correct (the wording is mine, not Dr Harrit’s), first responders carry, within their lungs, the signature trace of the murder weapon.
This must surely provide the basis for the biggest and most important ‘class action’ in US/world history?
If such an action is feasible (why wouldn’t it be?), I believe it should be taken by and on behalf of the first responders against a range of co-defendants: the US Government, the State of Israel, the WTC leaseholders, key elements in the mass media, key security companies and others.
We need the same quality of information, analysis and dialog observed at the Toronto Hearings in a court of law.. a court with subpoena powers and the authority to question witnesses under oath.
The tragedy of the first responders’ poisoned lungs cannot be overlooked. It must be satisfactorily explained.
Those responsible for the poisoning must compensate the victims.
Justice may be blind, but this new information will surely wake up Americans. The villains who try to make fools out of America’s iconic heroes have certainly fooled some of the people, some of the time – but their lucky run has come to an end.
