How can you read that without laughing? The squibs thing was debunked years ago.
Perhaps you are a 'reverse conspiracy' believer. 9/11 Research explains just how much evidence would have had to be tampered with in order for no squibs to have actually been present:

Squibs
High-Velocity "Demolition Squibs" Are Visible in the Twin Towers' Collapses
Squibs are "blasting caps (initiators) used in the explosive industry to set off high explosives." 1 In discussions of the collapses of the WTC skyscrapers, the term has been appropriated to describe the physical appearance of puffs or jets of dust emerging from buildings during a demolition, caused by the detonation of explosive charges. Several such "squibs" can be seen in videos and photographs capturing the collapses of the North and South Towers.
It has been suggested that the evident squibs could have been added to the photographs and videos after the fact, given that much of this evidence has found its way onto the web via undocumented routes. However, the squibs show up in many diverse videos and photographs, and we have not been able to find any showing the squibs to be absent. A conspiracy of incredible proportions would be required to forge such convincing evidence of squibs in such diverse sources.

Remarkably, the explosive demolition hypothesis accounts for all the available data rather easily. The core columns on lower floors are cut using explosives, near-simultaneously, along with explosives detonated up higher so that gravity acting on now-unsupported floors helps bring down the buildings quickly. The collapses are thus symmetrical, rapid and complete, with accompanying squibs — really very standard stuff for demolition experts. Thermite (whose end product is molten iron) used on some of the steel beams readily accounts for the molten metal which then pooled beneath the rubble piles.
I believe this is a straightforward hypothesis, much more probable than the official hypothesis. It deserves scientific scrutiny, beyond what I have been able to outline in this treatise.

A straightforward hypothesis? Flying a plane into a building secretly loaded with invisible explosives
No one said the explosives were invisible, although I would certainly think that they were concealed.
which aren’t even that effective for demolition...
Nano thermite is -very- effective when it comes to cutting into iron based metals (such as steel). Where are you getting your information from?
...and they have to go off in perfect timing starting on the floors the plane had to hit to create an appearance that the building is collapsing.
You're right about the timing. But it can be done with computers.
Even though it has been demonstrated that fire alone can weaken steel
Yes, steel can be weakened by fire. But, as Kevin Ryan made clear when NIST was conducting its $16 million, two-year investigation of the collapse of the twin towers:
****************************************
Ryan wrote that the institute's preliminary reports suggest the WTC's supports were probably exposed to fires no hotter than 500 degrees -- only half the 1,100-degree temperature needed to forge steel, Ryan said. That's also much cooler, he wrote, than the 3,000 degrees needed to melt bare steel with no fire-proofing.
"This story just does not add up," Ryan wrote in his e-mail to Frank Gayle, deputy chief of the institute's metallurgy division, who is playing a prominent role in the agency investigation. "If steel from those buildings did soften or melt, I'm sure we can all agree that this was certainly not due to jet fuel fires of any kind, let alone the briefly burning fires in those towers.
He added, "Alternatively, the contention that this steel did fail at temperatures around (500 degrees) suggests that the majority of deaths on 9/11 were due to a safety-related failure. That suggestion should be of great concern to my company.""

Apparently, it was. He was fired shortly thereafter.
they have to use secret explosives because if the building didn’t collapse the conspiracy wouldn’t work..
If most of the evidence hadn't been pulverized to fine dust, with the remaining steel carted away before investigators could properly investigate it, they would have had a problem, yes.
The government, firemen, police, media, NIST, scrap yards, fema, norad ect ect are all behind it keeping it secret. Yeah pretty straightforward. … It’s so simple really.
There is strong evidence that many within the government, firemen, police and perhaps even some lower level functionaries within NIST have questioned or outright disagree with the official story. I contend that it doesn't take all that many people to concoct such a plan, so long as those people are in high places within the government (Rudi Giuliani, the Bush clan, the vice president...)

That’s because you are a religious nut. Please point out which picture makes it clear it was a CD.
Easy there shaman. I know that the 'no personal attacks' guideline is a joke, but losing your calm won't add anything to this discussion. I would argue that the first 6 pictures in the above link are fine specimens, but I have a strong feeling that you won't agree.
