Guest Post by William Hurt
I was born in 1950. Mom moved back to New York City with my two brothers and me in 1955, and we became New Yorkers.
I watched the South Tower “top off” in ’71. Mom had worked close to the Empire State Building during the War and would mention when we were growing up how, on a foggy July day in 1945, a B-25 had flown right into it. In ’78, I was watching the antenna being attached to the North Tower and remarked to my first-grade buddy that somebody “sure could run into those big things.”
Many veteran New Yorkers were rubbed the wrong way by their design. Manhattan is actually a small piece of real estate. Interwoven neighborhoods. People walk there. Shoulder to shoulder. I tended to stay far away from them even though I worked in a little theatre only 15 or so blocks away for 12 years.
At age 51, I permanently moved away with my younger sons two weeks before September 11, 2001. The towers were indelible reference points to me by then. To all of us.
On the day of the attack, I was in Boston with my eldest in a café having breakfast, with the pickup parked and packed, ready to go to Montreal for a gig. There was a little TV hung to the molding of a wall. Someone said, “Look.”
Being a general aviation pilot, my first thought was, “That’s no small plane. And no accident.” My next thought was of family and close friends. We called and, thank goodness, they were all okay. My third thought was about the borders. I assumed the borders would be closed immediately. I had a contract in Montreal to get to that day. I prayed that they would stay closed so that my contract wouldn’t force me to go to Canada only for the borders to be closed again, leaving me stranded from my kids.
Then the second plane hit. I started thinking about those lost. The massiveness. A completely new kind of shock entered my life. I hoped with all my heart that the first responders would be okay. Then the towers fell. And the world changed.
Unbelievably, the border did open up again the very next day. I was floored. The contract said I had to go. I hugged my kid and drove, shattered.
In my case, the journey toward understanding started with an unusual emotional experience. Ten days later, on the film set in Montreal, it seemed a nightmare that no one was stopping, even on their own, let alone as a group, to absorb this paradigm shift. Where was the ritual of mutual care when something massively terrible happens? I felt alone. A catastrophe of infinite meaning had taken place, and we were routinely going about our professional duties, saying nothing about it. Maybe it was just too big. Moviemaking is myopic like that. But it seemed wrong. Deep emotional turmoil filled me. Worry for my children.
It was a busy scene involving over a hundred people. As I returned to what they call “start marks” for another “master shot” (of the whole scene before tighter “coverage” setups begin), I stopped. And I suddenly couldn’t remember where I was. What city was I in?
Then my body just “went” to New York. It was “there,” floating high up inside one of the imploding towers. I was trying to catch the falling bodies in my arms. Trying to pick them from out of everything and grab them to my chest to save them, but everything was passing through me — the immense pieces of concrete and superstructure mingled with the bodies of my fellows. I couldn’t catch them. They went through my arms. Everything did. I was what they call “losing it.”
A crew member came up and said, “Mr. Hurt, we’re ready.” I had no idea what he meant. The man asked, “Are you okay?” I heard his voice and said, “I don’t think so.”
They led me to a trailer outside. Some caring people came to talk to me for a little while. The administration wanted to get the set back to work. One person, a fellow actor, seemed to understand. She recognized that I was going into deep shock.
I left the set and they sent a doctor. Someone wrote “possible TIA” (transient ischemic attack) on a piece of paper. But months later, after scans, that was completely ruled out. What happened was not a physical problem.
For me, the overriding fact was supremely simple. It was that, to my knowledge, big buildings just couldn’t fall down that way, under any circumstances. It had never happened because, well, it couldn’t happen. I kept finding myself saying to others, “But, look, buildings like that can’t pulverize to dust in mid-air and just fall down smack straight into their own socks.” No building constructed anything like them in the history of the whole world had ever fallen down like those buildings fell, except for one cause. In earlier days, I’d done some light construction work. I’d seen a couple of smaller things (like big silos) brought down. It was a kick. I asked how it was done. The answer? “Very, very carefully.”
A day later I was back at work. Another week later, and by sheer coincidence, there we were, filming on location in NYC. Prior to 9/11, a reservation had been made for us to stay at a hotel 12 blocks north of Ground Zero. I asked the young elevator man as we first went up to the room if he’d lost anyone close. Surprised and instantly in tears, he said, “My uncle. He was the window-washing machines overseer. Never missed a day.” Off my room, there was a patio. I could look down the avenue and see the site, smoldering in the night lights. In horror, I knew what it was partly made of. We all did. What I didn’t know at that time: Thermite keeps burning a long time. At night, I’d go down. They let me through the barriers because I was recognized. I’d talk to and hug the first responders.
It never left me.
The discrepancy.
The difference between the story we were told to believe and its impossibility.
I felt alone until 2013. Then I couldn’t stand it anymore, and I started digging. Digging for truth in the rubble of the official lie, then in another heavier layer of rubble that lay in my own mind, installed there by our mass media.
It took a while but, finally, I found pieces of evidence online. Mixed in among all the nonsense, there was sane and reasoned evidence. One of the sources, the strongest one by far, a source supported by thousands of responsible, honest, honorable, grounded, normal, respectful people — professional architects and engineers all around the world — was Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth. An amazing act of courage and compassion meets us there when we can bring ourselves to seek the answers.
Why did I wait so long, like so many others, to start digging? It astonishes me, until I look at the size of what happened and also at my inability to believe that my government could have betrayed the families of those killed that day by not giving them the first thing they were owed: the truth.
It relieves me immensely to have given my name and my artistic advice as an executive producer of the new film The Unspeakable. I also deeply respect the definitive film SEVEN about the “other” building so few know of that also, somehow, fell neatly, “smack straight into its own socks” that day. An impossibility in any way but one.
The Unspeakable is about a horror that was committed upon innocent people and about their friends and loved ones struggling to heal while the truth is suppressed by those we are supposed to be able to trust. It’s also about the attempt to break the individual human heart and spirit — but how it cannot be broken in some.
The meaning of such evil acts can’t really be measured in numbers. The measure is taken one mother or father or sister or friend at a time. The question is not how could anyone do this to so many, but how could anyone do this to anyone.
The human heart has been the focus of my life’s study, so it is to the cause of these families and friends and this humbly heartfelt film that I add my name. I’m grateful and, again, very relieved to join with them in profound sorrow for their loss and to be a part of speaking their unspeakable truth.
I don’t suppose or pretend to know who or how or why this thing was done. But I feel it must begin with one step. NIST, our National Institute of Standards and Technology, must be brought to account for lying to all of us.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis.

He’s right. And he will never work again.
I think he has terminal cancer
Wow…didn’t know that…I assumed he just had enough money.
God Bless him that was an inspiring post.
I think there is about to be an explosion of truth bombs…and then Normie minds.
And it won’t matter. Because this world is too far gone.
We’re already over the falls.
Never, ever give up No Name I’m not…I know what is coming and how it ends.
I’m not worried about where I will end up.
He should try the horse paste.
Actually MMS
According to an article I just found, yet another hoax. https://info-media.net/people/William-Hurt/deathHoax
If your eyes were open, and you were not blindly believing the MSM, you found most of these truths SOON after 9-11. Glad more folks are coming around every day. So now how does he feel about the plannedemic and the “vaccines?” Because these truths make 9-11 look like child’s play.
As I was watching the towers fall via live coverage that day, it appeared to me to be a planned demolition, an implosion. I was blessed to already be awake in many ways. What I found to be strange, was that the summer before this happened there were shows on cable TV that demonstrated implosion, including a series by Joan Lunden. Now I have to ask, was this a coincidence? or some kind of predictive programming? This PP doesn’t match the official narrative, though, but rather the official “conspiracy theory” narrative, and therefore hides the more likely cause of the demise of the towers, which is dustification by a Directed Energy Weapon.
I woke up in the mid 90’s and found out early on that there wasn’t anyone in the real world to talk with about certain truths. Who wants to be perceived as a lunatic who spouts ridiculous, impossible theories? One pastor’s wife labeled me as too dangerous to talk with, LOL. At that time, the only way to have a logical conversation about the real world was to find an Internet discussion group.
It took me until 2009 or so to realize what happened on 9/11. It was a necessary first step of a marathon.
Now, it only matters because it helps me to understand some of the current Covid-Zombies, because I have once been a 9/11-Zombie, for many years. I had some sleepless nights when the realization of truth set in. It is scary at first, but ultimately liberating. I like that Ron Paul quote that we must continue to speak out, because even though the listeners might not ready to hear the message, they can never un-hear what we say. You never know when that seed falls onto fertile ground.
One of the spiritual laws are evil has to tell us it’s intentions. Those with the wisdom will see the truth in the clues they get. 1 1/2 years before Obama was elected, I saw the same thing. I asked family members, who lived in Chicago, who is this Obama, he was a nobody at the time. Just a newly elected congressman. They said what about him. I said the media is making him out to be holier than god, and we all know what happened.
No Jews died that day?????????????
I asked for verification of that below. That seems to be over the top…
Certainly not Larry Silverstein. He had a “dental appointment” that day. Wink, wink.
Most revealing Silverstein quote, “pull it.”
Haha. Awesome.
Yea, the people on flight 93 screwed up the dialog because they weren’t there to fly i Building 7.
There was no flight 93 and the whole “let’s roll” BS was pre planned and pre recorded. Just ask Neil Young. No fucking plane at the Pentacle either. Just a couple of shaped charges to make holes.
Exactly right. No evidence of planes at either site.
Actually the debris show Cruise missils parts.

“I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinion of himself than on the opinion of others.”
– Marcus Aurelius
One of the greatest lessons that I learned from stand-up was that what people think of you is meaningless. What you think of yourself is significant. You can make a complete stranger think you’re the greatest thing in the world when you suck, and someone close to you think you’re a horrible person when you are being completely candid and honest. There is no way way to win when your foundation is built on the perceptions of others, and there is no way to lose when you have discovered the means to be proud of yourself.
Profound words of wisdom, MM. For some, they ought be printed out, and posted where they can be seen daily, as a healthy reminder.
Old bad habits die hard.
Thanks, Fahmuh.
Outstanding post, Mr. H. Scrabble! It is conversation like this that keeps me coming back to this site.
HSF,
“Who wants to be perceived as a lunatic who spouts ridiculous, impossible theories?”
That was mostly rhetorical.
I do value my own opinion, mostly because I am contemplative in forming it, rather than simply parroting what someone else has said. There are some circumstances when I think that it is more wise to not comment, such as when I would be throwing pearls before swine, or if I don’t want to upset Grandma. I usually forge ahead in order to expose people to what’s outside of the box. The reactions can be interesting. I don’t care to conform. How boring that would be if we were all alike.
I appreciate quotes from the stoics, they make one think.
first they let the Saudis fly home on a no fly day right after. then they caught the dancing Israelis. then they couldn’t find the planes’ black boxes and next covered up who made a killing on airline co put options. then Silverstein filed for double damages on buildings he only recently began leasing, watched over by a Bush family security co.
IT WAS EASY TO TELL PRETTY MUCH RIGHT AWAY!
For those who were already awake, the Internet was a goldmine of truth from day one, exposing the mainstream lies. The same with Sandy Hook. Shepard Ambellas, Intellihub, was really on top of that one. He found a page with a fund for the “victims” that was date-stamped the day before it happened. By this time in my truth journey, as soon as I heard the Sandy Hook news on TV I figured that it could be a false flag, and I got online that same day before the earliest evidence of something fishy would get censored. Evidence did get censored, but thankfully someone wrote a book with all the details. I think it’s entitled No One Died at Sandy Hook. Amazon banned selling it immediately when it was published.
An actor who is not a mindless zombie. This is turning into a shocking day. What other calamities will foresee me this forlorn day. Will al Gore say climate change is farce. Will Kamela Harris admit she got here job by her ability to do oral sex. What mortal sin did I do to deserve this. I better go to my room and pray for forgiveness. Yours truly your Humble Working Boy, HWB.
“…..my inability to believe my government could have betrayed the families of those killed that day by not giving them the first thing they were owed: the truth.”
A little history lesson for younger folks. When the Vietnamese Army defeated the French at the Battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954 the French when signing the Peace Accord agreed to make financial reparations for the billions in debt the Vietnamese incurred from the war. Fearing the French would fail to follow through the Vietnamese released half the French POWs they were holding and kept half in captivity until the money was paid. The French ponied up the money and the remaining POWs were freed. Fast forward to 1973 and the Paris Peace Accord. Nixon agreed to reimburse the Vietnamese government its war debt which was in the 100 billion dollar range. According to DOD figures 687 American POWs were returned to America but the Vietnamese, as they did with the French, held over 500 Americans in captivity as ransom until the United States paid the money promised. Nixon knew the Congress would never go along with such “blackmail” but made the promise anyway. As an example it was a known fact that over 300 American servicemen were being held captive in Laos yet only 10 of those men were repatriated. So among the highest echelon of power players in DC a gentleman’s agreement was made that no one would ever speak of this. And John McCain was tapped to spend the bulk of his tenure drafting and passing legislation that would hide this foul secret from the American People forever. True Story.
PS: Again for younger folks. You need to know John McCain was not a hero. He was a traitor.
A traitor to the uniform he wore. A traitor to the men he served with.
Thanks Mike. You are a beacon of light in the darkness. Every day, I am newly amazed by the lack of integrity of our politicians.
The “younger folk” just got a true traitor to the uniform with General Milley, and quess what, THEY DO NOT CARE.
Not too long ago this guy would have at the least been publically fired, a hundred years ago hung.
Now he is a hero without a bit of shame.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/gen-milley-defends-call-china-says-he-wasn-t-trying-n1280239
And he went on to be a POS traitorous Senator. If his father had not been an Admiral and saved his ass, he would have been in a military brig for those service men killed on that aircraft carrier.
I think he tried to sink the USS Liberty, too.
Google it.
About 18 years ago I was privleged to speak with the son of a Vietnam POW. His father knew John McCain and reinforced much of the material in this Quiet Mikes comment. I have no use for this Rino and am not sorry he is no longer with us. However the damage is done.
His fellow POWs didn’t call him the “Hanoi Song Bird” for nothing……………………..
The viets kept several hundreds of French prisoners even after being paid, just like they did for the Americans. Commies can’t be trusted.
A traitor to the American people who trusted him.
Mr. Hurt asked, “Where was the ritual of mutual care when something massively terrible happens?”
In a synchronistic moment, the following post,
references the ritual sacrifice by Bohemian Grove of what… CARE. If my memory serves me well, “care” is the thing represented by the Bohemian Grove sacrifice. Ok, why “care”? I am not a scholar, but attempting to read Heidegger I recall he distilled the essence of the concept of love to that of “care”. Follow the etymology of “care” and discover it is the crying out, sorrowful weeping of a loss or that,which if lost, would cause such mournful anguish.
Jeremiah heard Rachel’s anguished cry for her children while watching Israel marched into Babylon.
It seems to me you can still hear her crying in the Revelation.
Too many unanswered questions, too many lies.
We The People should be used to our government lying to US … after all, in just my lifetime we’ve had the JFK assassination, the RFK assassination, 9/11, the Fauci flu, WMDs in Iraq (that info courtesy our ‘friend and ally’ in the middle east to get US into a war on their behalf) … and on and on.
The Iraqi and Turkish government informed the french gov of the Bataclan planned attack few months before it occurred.

HES AN IDIOT
NO NAME coward…your either a troll or a low information Normie brainwashed idiot…piss off…pisstard.
They usually do that.
Fact….no Jews died in 9-11 Why?
None?
Seriously, where do you get this information? Because if you can prove that absolutely not one Jew died in the attacks/explosions on 9-11, I’m going to reconsider them as The Chosen Ones protected by Yahweh.
Do you have a source or is this just a working theory?
It was a legitimate question!
I know of at least one, because his parents were friends of mine.
I have posted this a dozen times all over the internet…including here many times…one of the vids TLPTB (L=Luciferian) have never been able to get rid of.
STATE OF THE NATION is fearless…and carpet bombs the TRUTH…since 2012.

US MILITARY FALSE FLAG Against Its Own Citizenry Demands A War Crimes Tribunal
A group of powerful people (TLPTB) have used coercive persuasion aka brainwashing to introduce Crowd or Mass Delusion.
God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That is the understatement of biblical understatements. I never thought so many people could be deceived so easily.
Maggie,
Check this out.
I find his vids extremely well done and I love the way he uses scripture to back up scripture.
He and I are simpatico on most major docturns…especially the timing of the Rapture…Pre-Wrath just after the 6th Seal opens.
(Not trying to start that discussion…please…believe what you believe and I will do the same).
He puts out powerful, well done…and hard hitting vids.
I never miss one.
Am so happy to have this on my watchlist now… I like this guy in Jamaica.
This is cued to start at a good place, 24 minutes in.
I must have watched six of these last night… fascinating theory/message about the the interpretation of the idol. Personally, I like the idea of a giant chocolate bunny that made all the slaves work in a chocolate bunny factory like the Veggie Tales version, but his explanation was pretty good too.
P.S. Little button buck came back and I have 756 pictures of him with just a few deer walking by. He literally stays around that tree all night waiting for his mother.
So, I’m feeding Bambi for a while, I guess. I took some more hay down.
Blessings and Agape Love to you, pal.
This speaks of the tribulation specifically. However, your use of the verses to describe current events shows us how easily the lost are deceived by their father the devil.
Did you watch Pastor O’Connor’s sermon?
Balbinus,
As I said…respectfully…
(Not trying to start that discussion…please…believe what you believe and I will do the same).
William, move back to the town (Beaufort, SC) where you played my fav character in “The Big Chill”. I’ve always had a Porsche weakness. 2014 Diesel Cayenne these days.
You’ve got friends here that agree with you. Plus, it’s the best place to live in the US. And we have a place in Downtown Charleston too.
Lamont…was at Fleet Landing last week for lunch..it’s OK but Bowen’s Island is still the best .
Is Old Bull Tavern in Beaufort any good ?
I have no doubt this was a false flag event ending in the erosion of some of our freedom. I’m sure some of the things written and some of the video is false, probably to throw suspicions in a different direction.
The Patriot Act was written before 911 happened. It was definitely about surveillance and control, and removing liberties.

Thank you William. I have always valued your work for the light it shines on the human condition and the struggles we face against the eternal odds. I have heard rumors and i hope they are not true and that you will be seen again in timeless film…
The co-called “pandemic” is brought to us by the same folks as 9-1-1. They may not be completely Human.
The internet has allowed us plebes the means to communicate and freely exchange information globally , instantly. That terrifies the men behind the curtain. They can also monitor peoples communications they know we know.
They monitor every communication. The data becomes a part of our digital twin, and is entered into the Sentient World Simulation in order to analyze us, game us, and predict our future behavior. They use the SWS to gauge what the public reaction will be before they make their moves.
Good on John Hurt. Its never too late to see the light of truth.
The exact same crew from who killed the kennedys to covid and every conspiracy in between.
I’m sorry, but the second they produced the Amazing Tale of the Magically Preserved and Miraculously Recovered Passport it was just obvious they were lying.
I cannot help but feel contempt for anyone who struggled for 12 years to come to the conclusion he had been lied to after he was told on TV that water isn’t wet..
Especially when he then makes a special point of dismissing all the crackpot conspiracy nonsense in his publicity stunt 20 years later. Oh yes, you’re much too wise and enlightened to be mistaken for the crackpots who saw through it immediately, eh Billy?
People may find this inspiring but it only makes me loathe the Hurts of the world even more.
The preserved passport in the debris tale served as an IQ test.
