The Dark Overlord Decrypts More 9/11 Insurance Files
On New Year's Eve, Motherboard broke the news that a hacking group known as The Dark Overlord was threatening to release a cache of stolen insurance and legal documents related to the 9/11 attacks. After distributing a small preview set of files, the group has now publicly released a decryption key for more files, meaning anyone can download and read them.
[...] Twitter banned The Dark Overlord's account on Wednesday. Reddit followed suit shortly after. In response, The Dark Overlord is now publishing its announcements on Steemit, a blockchain-based and harder to moderate platform. The Shadow Brokers, a self-described hacking group that released a slew of NSA hacking tools, used the same platform for their communications.
The stolen data itself allegedly comes from a legal firm that advised Hiscox Group, a Hiscox spokesperson previously told Motherboard in a statement. The previously released documents included presentation slide decks, legal correspondence between law firms, and letters from a handful of government agencies. 9/11 conspiracy theorists have been particularly interested in the release of the documents, with internet commenters and several conspiracy-minded YouTubers making videos saying that they hope they will somehow reveal a vast conspiracy around the attacks.
[...] The group released the data after receiving 3 bitcoin, or around $11,000, as part of its self-announced crowdfunding effort.
Does anyone have a link to these documents yet?
Also at the Miami Herald.

Occam's razor tells me you're a foil hat wearing idiot. The fact that you're so highly modded gives me doubt about the intelligence of the readers of this site.
1) The "explosions" were the support structures failing. Know what happens when a lot of energy is suddenly released? Loud noise
2) The building was designed to fail in that manner
3) Name another skyscraper to be hit by a jumbo jet at speed
4) This is conjecture on your part
What are your thoughts about the bombing of the same building in 1993? Was that also a false flag operation?

Then why did WTC 7 collapse at free fall from a ‘furniture fire’? Another ‘coincidence’.
The fact you’re modded so highly gives me great doubt of the readers of this site.

Another random explanation not offered by FEMA or NIST. The officials missed yours too I guess.
