Episode 158 — 9/11: 25 Years of Lies? Building 7, Mossad & the Missing Evidence — W/ Richard Gage

Show notes

As the 25th anniversary of September 11 approaches, the questions Americans were told to stop asking have only grown harder to ignore.

In Episode 158 of The Backlash, Dave Reilly is joined by Richard Gage, AIA—a veteran San Francisco Bay Area architect, member of the American Institute of Architects, and founder and former CEO of Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. For nearly two decades, Gage has challenged the official explanation for the destruction of the Twin Towers and World Trade Center Building 7 while demanding a new, independent investigation.

Together, Dave and Richard reopen the 9/11 crime scene. They examine Building 7’s period of free-fall acceleration, the symmetrical nature of its collapse, eyewitness accounts of explosions, reports of molten metal, iron-rich microspheres and alleged thermitic material in the World Trade Center dust. They also discuss the rapid removal and recycling of structural steel from Ground Zero, Larry Silverstein’s infamous “pull it” statement and news reports that announced Building 7’s collapse before it occurred.

The conversation then turns to the questions mainstream accounts have avoided for years: the five Israelis detained after witnesses reported that they were filming and celebrating the attacks, allegations concerning Israeli intelligence and possible Mossad foreknowledge or involvement, and whether crucial information was deliberately concealed from the American public.

Finally, Dave and Richard examine what followed 9/11—the Patriot Act, mass surveillance, trillions of dollars spent on war, the destruction of civil liberties and decades of bloodshed across the Middle East.

This is not a polite anniversary retrospective. It is a direct confrontation with the evidence, contradictions and unanswered questions surrounding the event that transformed America and the world.
