Richard Gage, AIA, leads the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth. The group includes thousands of professionals debunking the government's version of what happened to the World Trade Center.

On Friday, Gage – who has considerable experience designing large buildings – spoke out about WTC owner Larry Silverstein's bombshell revelation that the new World Trade Center Building 7 was designed BEFORE 9/11.

"It is pretty incredible," said Gage, interviewed on False Flag Weekly News.

Gage pointed out that for construction on the new Building 7 to begin in May of 2002, the official time frame – which presupposes that 9/11 was a shocking and unforeseen event – was highly improbable, even before Silverstein's latest confession.

"Let's just set aside the revelation, as damning as it is, if it's true, and we'll come to that. Let's just think in terms of the incredible disaster that happened on 9/11, how the entire country was in shock, and how almost everything was put to a standstill. Particularly in New York, and particularly at the site of the World Trade Center.
