My name is Brad and I’m a conservative Republican. Last summer I happened to come across a video on the Internet about the World Trade Center demolition on September 11th. As a kind of “demolition hobbyist,” I downloaded it and watched it. The title was “Painful Deceptions,” by a guy called Eric Hufschmid. The video made me very angry. I was determined to prove the maker of the video wrong.

I purchased videos about 9/11 from CBS and PBS Nova, including one made by the Naudet brothers. These were considered the “official videos.”

We have yet to determine why Brad claims these are the “official videos”. The Naudet brothers film, “Why the Twin Towers Fell” by PBS and the various other documentaries contained in 9/11 Mysteries are not official government reports explaining the collapse of the towers. They are simply documentaries created by third parties. This is not to say they are inaccurate, but calling them “official videos” is rather disingenuous.

If Brad had properly researched the topic at hand, he would have read the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) report and the 9/11 Commission report. Brad makes no mention of these.

After watching them carefully, and after researching thousands of websites and archives on the Internet -- literally not sleeping for an entire week -- I realized that official story, not Eric Hufschmid’s “Painful Deceptions,” was unprovable, unsubstantiated, absolutely wrong.

Here, we will look at the effects of sleep deprivation. A person cannot go without sleep for an entire week without experiencing several side effects.

These range from physical side effects to severe emotional and mental side effects. Not sleeping for an entire week would have seen Brad experiencing hallucinations, paranoia, memory lapses, difficulty concentrating, delusions, emotional swings, time and place disorientation and aggression amongst many other things.

So, Brad concluded that the official story was “absolutely wrong” whilst experiencing severe mental disorders?

It is either that or 9/11 Mysteries has just lied to us.

9/11 Mysteries is supposed to be a fact-based documentary. This leaves no room for rhetorical devices such as the hyperbole presented to us by Brad. Note that Brad claims that he “literally” did not sleep for an entire week. “Literally” is a strong word and has no place in a fact-based documentary, unless a statement of fact is being made.

What you are about to see is information you should already know. Our news reporters, government and media should have made all this material available to every one of us. Ask yourself why you’ve never seen it on TV.

For your consideration, 9/11 Mysteries is almost entirely compiled of footage from documentaries, news reports and interviews originally aired on television.

“On TV” was, for some reason, removed from the transcript. Could this be why?
