9/11 Revisited

“9/11 was an inside job,” or "dem djoos did it", is scientifically speaking, no different from the chant that “19 bad guys with box cutters did it".

The "three fingers in front of your face" test (also called the 3-Finger Test) is a simple, viral trick popularized in early 2026 for spotting deepfakes or AI-generated video during live calls, especially with scammers. How It Works On a video call (Zoom, FaceTime, etc.), you ask the other person: "Can you hold up three fingers in front of your face?" A real human does this easily — their hand overlaps their face naturally. Many (especially older) deepfake or real-time face-swap systems struggle with this because: - They have trouble rendering occlusion (when the hand blocks part of the face) accurately in real time. - This often causes visible glitches: blurring, warping, distortion, unnatural blending, or the AI refusing / hesitating because it can't process the complex interaction properly. In the original viral clip (from cybersecurity researchers like Jim Browning and Huntress Labs), a suspected scammer hesitates, deflects ("That's too much..."), partially complies poorly, or the video glitches — exposing the fake. Why It Fits the Cognitive Wild West This test is a practical example of the "Cognitive Wild West" idea: in an era of synthetic media, people are developing quick hacks and personal "defenses" because there's no widespread, reliable system for verifying reality. It's low-tech cognitive security against high-tech deception — part of the arms race between AI creators and everyday users trying not to get scammed or manipulated. Limitations (It's Not Foolproof) Already becoming obsolete — Newer, more advanced deepfake models (as of mid-2026) handle hand-face interactions much better. Scammers now know the trick and can train around it or use better tech. It works best on real-time generated deepfakes, not pre-recorded or highly polished ones. False confidence is a risk: relying on one trick can make you less safe if you ignore other red flags (odd lighting, unnatural eye movement, audio mismatches, etc.). Better Practices in the Wild West Security experts recommend combining it with: - Asking for unpredictable actions (e.g., specific movements or objects). - Verifying identity through other channels (call back on a known number, check details independently). - Using emerging detection tools or just defaulting to higher scepticism on unsolicited video calls. It's a fun, memorable meme in the broader discussion of living with AI-generated content, but like everything in this space, it's temporary — the frontier keeps moving.

"Cell phones don't work on a plane, that's what I'm thinking". Police officer Lorne Lyles wondered how his wife, CeeCee, had been able to call him from Flight 93 on 9/11 since, when he looked at the caller ID, he "noticed that it was a call and it was from her cell phone".

One of the best proofs, that 9/11 wasn't a structural failure (collapse), or a controlled demolition, using any thermal or kinetic mechanisms, are the 16 survivors in stairwell B of the North Tower. 16 Survivors (“9/11 surfer” included) - 110 stories, equal to 10 Titanic’s in weight, stacked on top of one another. The survivors heard no loud explosions, no flashes of bright light, no molten steel raining on them, they did not go blind or deaf due to light flashes or explosions, they weren’t hit by falling debris - POOF the building is gone into a HUGE DUST cloud.

Steve Chaconas: Eyewitness to an Aircraft flying in from the East of the Potomac River on 9/11 Steve Chanconas, observed an aircraft flying in from the East of the Potomac River, where the White House is situated, which passed by Reagan National Airport, just as the Pentagon exploded. That is the plane that landed at Reagan National at 10:38am. Reagan National was closed for 3 weeks. Was this American 11, and not American 77?
