How an Average Guy Became “A Truther”

Scott Creighton (archived from Aug. 2008)

There is nothing special about me.

After college, I went into construction, and worked hands on for over 15 years. I hung steel on the NB Handy Building in Lynchburg Va. I attended Mountain Productions Rigging School, I was Head Rigger for Showman Fabricators in New York City and installed the new (at that time) MSNBC Studios. I also weld a little (MIG only). Since then, I have exclusively worked in architectural design, Computer aided drafting (CAD). (JPEGS of my work available upon request) i do engineering specifications for commercial and residential new construction (I am not an engineer). A recent project put me in Atlanta (last month) for the installation of a project I designed the technical specifications for - commercial project involving massive steel structures, design weight bearing loads, and even THERMAL EXPANSION RATIOS.

That is my background.

Now, I will tell you this; those buildings, all of them, were brought down by Controlled Demolition. Of that, there is no question.

I have seen buildings collapse. I have seen them collapse in front of me. The NB Handy project in Lynchburg fell over as we were working on hanging steel on the second to the last bay in the building.

It was just a steel skeleton at the time, but poorly placed anchor bolts in the concrete peers that supported it caused the building to start leaning as we were setting cross beams in an exterior bay section. The entire thing leaned and then collapse, in a slow, progressive, manner - through the path of least resistance. It fell over. All still held together by the connections (1 1/4″ rated bolts).

In short, it didn’t just “fall apart” into so many different pieces due to gravity.

No steel beams shot 300 yards across the street.

Buildings just don’t behave that way. They are not designed to. Period.

Now, you add that to all the f-ed up stories that NIST, FEMA, The 9/11 Commission Report, FBI, Popular Mechanics, the History Channel… has told us.

Then you factor in the great work and research and investigations from people like Ryan, Jones, Griffin, and the 400+ Architects and Engineers, the 500+ Pilots, 9/11 Blogger, and the 300+ ex-Federal agents who have come forward to call for a new investigation into the events of Sept.11th…

… you put all that together, and you get one huge stinking pile of s___ that they call “the official story”.

Now, I didn’t know all of this the day it happened as some claim they did. More power to them I suppose. I had to come to this understanding very reluctantly; kicking and clawing and arguing every inch of the way.

This isn’t something you WANT to know about the country you have loved your entire life.

I was born in a little town in Virginia. My father was career NAVY. I remember holding his hand walking through Miller Park on July 4th, 1976 with my Mother, my Grandmother, and my brother.

I went to the Prom and drank PBR longnecks.

I watched rockets launch and Mohamed Ali fight live on my floor model console television.

I have been backstage of the Lincoln Center. I stood at the feet of a seated Lincoln and read his words engraved in stone 20 feet high in our capital.

I love the country that is my home, but know this; as I have learned through painstaking research and many years, this was not my country that did this, nor even my government.

This is a small group of fanatics (terrorists) who have proven time and time again that they just don’t care about the people they serve; they actually have a visible disdain for the American People as well as for our way of life. They care about profit and power and nothing else.

They DO hate us for our freedom. And that is quite obvious in how they have attacked the Constitution since Day 1 (even before 9/11).

So, that is my background, that is my evidence, and that is my conclusion. I thank you for asking, Jonathan.
