Lets not just focus on a few leaves while the forest
is in our face!
Whether by deliberate intent or
lack of common sense, it seems some people still 'can't see the forest for the
trees' in discerning the obvious fact that the official government conspiracy
theory is a great big crock of manure.
So lets see if we can break them
out of this simple minded compartmentalization and give them a gander at the
BIG PICTURE. Then maybe these few lowly and pathetic stragglers can catch up
to the rest of us. Well its worth a shot..... check out just how much info
there is, and bare in mind that this is still a relatively small sample of the
evidence available.
“Of all the forms of murder, none is more monstrous than that
committed by a state against its own citizens... The homicidal state
shares one trait with the solitary killer -- like all murderers, it
trips on its own egoism and drops a trail of clues which, when
properly collected, preserved and analyzed are as damning as a signed
confession left in the grave.”
-- Forensic anthropologist Clyde Snow, speaking before the May 1984
meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Abstract: - Many adults in the United States believe the current federal government has not been completely forthcoming on the issue of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to a poll by the New York Times and CBS News. 53 per cent of respondents think the Bush administration is hiding something, and 28 per cent believe it is lying.

Only 16 per cent of respondents say the government headed by U.S. president George W. Bush is telling the truth on what it knew prior to the terrorist attacks, down five points since May 2002. [full report]
"The chief obstacle was the White House, which argued that the congressional inquiry was continuing, and that an independent investigation would distract the government from waging the ongoing war on terrorism" (17).
"The two sides decided to split the difference, allowing eighteen months for the inquiry—a period of time that proved insufficient" (20).
"The White House also suggested some candidates for executive director for our staff. The importance of this position cannot be overstated" (22).
"…we seriously only considered one candidate: Philip Zelikow…. Zelikow was a controversial choice. In the 1990s, as an academic, he had co-authored, with Condoleezza Rice, a book about German unification, and he later assisted Stephen Hadley in running the National Security Council transition for the incoming Bush administration in 2000-2001" (28).

----------------------- Superman's Passport
The US government wants you to know that despite being in the cockpit
of a jet that flew into the North Tower at some 450 knots and exploded
into a massive fireball, they [allegedly] found a copy of Mohammad Atta's
passport in the collapsed rubble of the trade center complex that was
completely untouched by flame, and was in all ways in pristine condition.
On September 24 the belongings of alleged terrorist Zacarias Moussaoui threw up a cropdusting manual, while four days later came Atta's suicide note, the one with the counsel to shine your shoes before you meet your maker - a piece of advice which seemed suspiciously Norman Rockwellesque. It was here, too, that the stuff about 72 virgins awaiting him in heaven first started to circulate. [See report]
Strangely enough, however, no black boxes [located in the tail] were ever
located at any of the WTC crash sites. Well at least that is the official story...
Some well respected fire fighters working at the scene have a bit of
a different story.....
Why don't they want us to see the black boxes or their data?
Maybe because the data they recently release from "flight 77" shows the aircraft didn't hit the pentagon... Go here for video evidence...... and here [2]
--------------------- Other strange finds.
How is it that a car is "abandoned" in the Logan airport?
The car was found abandoned the same day as the tragedy. How often is a car in
a major airport determined to be abandoned only hours after it is parked? Then
all they found in the car were a copy of the Koran and a flight manual for
flying the Boeing commercial airliner. The official story wants us to believe
that someone would be reading the flight manual on the way to hi-jack a plane?
So can you envision the conversation between two hijackers on the plane to
go something like this:
"OK Ali, give me the manual".
"Manual? I don't have the manual, you are supposed to have the manual."
"You idiot, you don't have the manual? This is the last time I trust you to
do anything. This is the last hijacking I do with you!!!"

U.S. military sources have given the FBI information that suggests five of the
alleged hijackers of the planes that were used in Tuesday's terror attacks
received training at secure U.S. military installations in the 1990s. -

How did Rudolph Giuliani know that the south tower was
about to collapse? Giuliani told ABC's Peter Jennings, "We were operating out
of there when we were told that the World Trade Center was gonna collapse."
The World Trade Center was the first steel building to
collapse from fire damage in history.
Who told Giuliani the building was going to collapse
and how did they know?
--------
Pakistan ISI Director General Mahmud Ahmad instructed
Ahmad Umar Sheikh to hotwire $100,000 to the 9/11 lead hijacker, Mohammad Atta.
On September 11th, Ahmad was a guest of former
clandestine CIA officer and CFR member Rep. Porter Goss and Skull and Bones/CFR
member Senator Bob Graham. Since September 4th, he had met with top brass at
the CIA, the Pentagon and the White House, including Colin Powell, Richard
Armitage, Joseph Biden and George Tenet.
Condoleezza Rice lied in a May 16th 2002 press
conference when she claimed ignorance of Ahmad's visit and the $100,000
transfer. Ahmad had
already resigned from the ISI and the FBI had confirmed the circumstances
behind this. Rice stated "I have not seen that report, and he was certainly
not meeting with me."
What was the money man behind the terrorists
doing in the halls of the US government before, during and after 9/11?
A 40-year-old Federal
Aviation Administration rule that allowed commercial airline pilots
to be armed was inexplicably rescinded two months before the Sept.
11 terrorist attacks...
The only reference to "terrorists with box cutters" was alleged to have been
made via a cell phone conversation made by Barbara Olson, the wife of a former
US Solicitor General and close friend of George W. Bush. This "call" came to
light in a report issued the very day of 9/11 by CNN and at no point in the
report does CNN quote Ted Olson directly. The only other report in CNN
archives relating to Olson are "In a poignant remembrance at the Justice
Department, U.S. Solicitor General Theodore Olson referred to "the sufferings
we have all experienced." He made no direct reference to the death of his
wife, Barbara Olson.
By the sixth month anniversary of the attack, Ted Olson was allegedly
interviewed by London Telegraph reporter Toby Harnden, with his exclusive
story "She Asked Me How To Stop The Plane" appearing in that London newspaper
on March 5. This is where we find major inconsistencies in Theodore Olson's
account of the events. He states: "She [Barbara] had trouble getting through,
because she wasn't using her cell phone - she was using the phone in the
passengers' seats," said Mr Olson.
Though the American Airlines Boeing 757 is fitted with individual
telephones at each seat position, they are not of the variety where you can
simply pick up the handset and ask for an operator. On many aircraft you can
talk from one seat to another in the aircraft free of charge, but if you wish
to access the outside world you must first swipe your credit card through the
telephone. By Ted Olson's own admission, Barbara did not have a credit card
with her, and "had to call collect".
---------------------- Stock trading.
There is ample and irrefutable evidence of a forewarning regarding the attack
of September 11, 2001 by following the flow of stocks in the weeks and days
prior to the attack.
In the case of at least one of these trades -- which has left a $2.5 million
prize unclaimed -- the firm used to place the "put options" on United Airlines
stock was, until 1998, managed by the man who is now in the number three
Executive Director position at the Central Intelligence Agency. Until 1997 A.B.
"Buzzy" Krongard had been Chairman of the investment bank A.B. Brown. A.B.
Brown was acquired by Banker's Trust in 1997. Krongard then became, as part of
the merger, Vice Chairman of Banker's Trust-AB Brown, one of 20 major U.S.
banks named by Senator Carl Levin this year as being connected to money
laundering. Krongard's last position at Banker's Trust (BT) was to oversee
"private client relations." In this capacity he had direct hands-on relations
with some of the wealthiest people in the world in a kind of specialized
banking operation that has been identified by the U.S.
Senate and other investigators as being closely connected to the laundering
of drug money.
It is necessary to understand only two key financial terms to understand the
significance of these trades, "selling short" and "put options". "Selling
Short" is the borrowing of stock, selling it at current market prices, but not
being required to actually produce the stock for some time. "Put Options," are
contracts giving the buyer the option to sell stocks at a later date.
Purchased at nominal prices of, for example, $1.00 per share, they are sold in
blocks of 100 shares. If exercised, they give the holder the option of selling
selected stocks at a future date at a price set when the contract is issued.
Thus, for an investment of $10,000 it might be
possible to tie up 10,000 shares of United or American Airlines at $100 per
share, and the seller of the option is then obligated to buy them if the
option is executed. If the stock has fallen to $50 when the contract matures,
the holder of the option can purchase the shares for $50 and immediately sell
them for $100 - regardless of where the market then stands. A call option is
the reverse of a put option, which is, in effect, a derivatives bet that the
stock price will go up.
A September 21 story by the Israeli Herzliyya International Policy Institute
for Counterterrorism, entitled "Black Tuesday: The World's Largest Insider
Trading Scam?" documented the following trades connected to the September 11
attacks:
- Between September 6 and 7, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw purchases
of 4,744 put options on United Airlines, but only 396 call options. Assuming
that 4,000 of the options were bought by people with advance knowledge of the
imminent attacks, these "insiders" would have profited by almost $5 million.
- On September 10, 4,516 put options on American Airlines were bought on the
Chicago exchange, compared to only 748 calls. Again, there was no news at that
point to justify this imbalance;. Again, assuming that 4,000 of these options
trades represent "insiders," they would represent a gain of about $4 million.
[The levels of put options purchased above were more than six times higher
than normal.] No similar trading in other airlines occurred on the Chicago
exchange in the days immediately preceding Black Tuesday.
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co., which occupied 22 floors of the World Trade
Center, saw 2,157 of its October $45 put options bought in the three trading
days before Black Tuesday; this compares to an average of 27 contracts per day
before September 6. Morgan Stanley's share price fell from $48.90 to $42.50 in
the aftermath of the attacks. Assuming that 2,000 of these options contracts
were bought based upon knowledge of the approaching attacks, their purchasers
could have profited by at least $1.2 million. Merrill Lynch & Co., with
headquarters near the Twin Towers, saw 12,215 October $45 put options bought
in the four trading days before the attacks; the previous average volume in
those shares had been 252 contracts per day [a 1200% increase!]. When trading
resumed, Merrill's shares fell from $46.88 to $41.50; assuming that 11,000
option contracts were bought by "insiders," their profit would have been about
$5.5 million.
---------------------------- CIA, THE BANKS AND THE BROKERS
Understanding the interrelationships between CIA and the banking and brokerage
world is critical to grasping the already frightening implications of the
above revelations. Let's look at the history of CIA, Wall Street and the big
banks by looking at some of the key players in CIA's history.
Clark Clifford - The National Security Act of 1947 was written by Clark
Clifford, a Democratic Party powerhouse, former Secretary of Defense, and
one-time advisor to President Harry Truman. In the 1980s, as Chairman of First
American Bancshares, Clifford was instrumental in getting the corrupt CIA drug
bank BCCI a license to operate on American shores. His profession: Wall Street
lawyer and banker.
John Foster and Allen Dulles - These two brothers "designed" the CIA for
Clifford. Both were active in intelligence operations during WW II. Allen
Dulles was the U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland where he met frequently with
Nazi leaders and looked after U.S. investments in Germany. John Foster went on
to become Secretary of State under Dwight Eisenhower and Allen went on to
serve as CIA Director under Eisenhower and was later fired by JFK. Their
professions: partners in the most powerful - to this day - Wall Street law
firm of Sullivan, Cromwell.
Bill Casey - Ronald Reagan's CIA Director and OSS veteran who served as chief
wrangler during the Iran-Contra years was, under President Richard Nixon,
Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. His profession: Wall
Street lawyer and stockbroker.
David Doherty - The current Vice President of the New York Stock Exchange for
enforcement is the retired General Counsel of the Central Intelligence Agency.
George Herbert Walker Bush - President from 1989 to January 1993, also served
as CIA Director for 13 months from 1976-7. He is now a paid consultant to the
Carlyle Group, the 11th largest defense contractor in the nation, which also
shares joint investments with the bin Laden family.
A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard - The current Executive Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency is the former Chairman of the investment bank A.B. Brown
and former Vice Chairman of Banker's Trust.
John Deutch - This retired CIA Director from the Clinton Administration
currently sits on the board at Citigroup, the nation's second largest bank,
which has been repeatedly and overtly involved in the documented laundering of
drug money. This includes Citigroup's 2001 purchase of a Mexican bank known to
launder drug money, Banamex.
Nora Slatkin - This retired CIA Executive Director also sits on Citibank's
board.
Maurice "Hank" Greenburg - The CEO of AIG insurance, manager of the third
largest capital investment pool in the world, was floated as a possible CIA
Director in 1995. FTW exposed Greenberg's and AIG's long connection to CIA
drug trafficking and covert operations in a two-part series that was
interrupted just prior to the attacks of September 11. AIG's stock has bounced
back remarkably well since the attacks. To read that story, please go to
http://www.copvcia.com/stories/part_2.html.
On Sunday night, September 17, 2001 CBS's "60-Minutes" revealed that President
Bush's close associates had suddenly, and inexplicably, sold all their airline
stock just days before the terrorist attacks. The story was completely
overlooked by mainstream newspapers thereafter.

FEMA sent the Urban Search and Rescue Team to New York City THE NIGHT BEFORE
the attacks occurred! One FEMA official, Mr. Tom Kennedy told Dan Rather on
Sept 11, "We're currently one of the first teams that was deployed to
support the City of New York in this disaster. We arrived on late Monday night
[that is, on September 10, the NIGHT BEFORE] and went right into action
on Tuesday morning."

------------------------------- Flight warnings
Mayor Willie Brown received a phone call eight hours before the hijackings
from what he described as his air security staff, warning him not to travel by
air. The San Francisco Mayor was booked to fly from the Bay area to New York
City on the morning of September 11.
Newsweek reported [Newsweek, 24 September 2001] that on 10th September 2001,
the day before the attacks, a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly
canceled travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of "security
concerns".
The London Times reported that the famous novelist, Salman Rushdie, received
a similar warning before 9/11 to avoid U.S. and Canadian airlines. [The
Times, 27September 2001.Doran, James]
---------------------- Warnings from foreign governments
The governments of at least four countries-Germany, Egypt, Russia and
Israel-gave specific warnings to the US of an impending terrorist attack in
the months preceding September 11. These alerts, while fragmentary, not only
combined to foretell the scale of the attack and its main target, but
indicated that hijacked commercial aircraft would be the weapon of choice.
According to an article in one of the major daily newspapers in Germany,
published just after the destruction of the World Trade Center, the German
intelligence service BND told both US and Israeli intelligence agencies in
June that Middle East terrorists were "planning to hijack commercial aircraft
to use as weapons to attack important symbols of American and Israeli
culture."
The newspaper cited unnamed German intelligence sources, who said that the
information came through Echelon, the US-controlled system of 120 satellites
which monitors all worldwide electronic communications. Echelon
is operated
jointly by the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia and New Zealand,
although its existence is not officially admitted. (Source: Frankfurter
Allgemeine Zeitung, September 14, 2001)
The government of Egypt sent an urgent warning to the US June 13, based on a
video made by Osama bin Laden. Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak told the
French newspaper Le Figaro that the warning was originally delivered just
before the G-8 summit in Genoa. It was taken seriously enough that
anti-aircraft batteries were stationed around Christopher Columbus Airport in
the Italian city. According to Mubarak, bin Laden "spoke of assassinating
President Bush and other heads of state in Genoa. It was a question of an
airplane stuffed with explosives. These precautions then had been taken."
(Source: New York Times, September 26, 2001, "2 Leaders Tell of Plot to Kill
Bush in Genoa," by David Sanger)
The London-based Sunday Telegraph -an arch-conservative newspaper usually
highly supportive of the Bush administration-reported that the Israeli
intelligence service Mossad had delivered a warning to the FBI and CIA in
August that as many as 200 followers of Osama bin Laden were slipping into the
country to prepare "a major assault on the United States." The advisory spoke
of a "large-scale target" in which Americans would be "very vulnerable." The
Los Angeles Times cited unnamed US officials confirming this Mossad warning
had been received. (Source: Sunday Telegraph, September 16, 2001, "Israeli
security issued urgent warning to CIA of large-scale terror attacks," by David
Wastell and Philip Jacobson; Los Angeles Times, September 20, 2001, "Officials
Told of 'Major Assault' Plans," by Richard A. Serrano and John-Thor Dahlburg)
The Independent, a liberal daily in Great Britain, published an article
asserting the US government "was warned repeatedly that a devastating attack
on the United States was on its way." The Independent cited an interview given
by Osama bin Laden to a London-based Arabic-language newspaper, al-Quds al-Arabi,
in late August. About the same time, tighter security measures were ordered at
the World Trade Center, for unexplained reasons. (Source: Independent,
September 17, 2001, "Bush did not heed several warnings of attack," by Andrew
Gumbel)
Despite this series of alerts, no US intelligence agency issued any warning of
a possible attack on a target on US territory in the months leading up to
September 11.
_______
Russian press accounts and other activities by the Russian government
this summer indicate that the Russian government knew in advance that
something would happen to America, including a "financial attack"
against the U.S.
During the past three months, Russian media and officials have
encouraged citizens to cash out U.S. dollars pending an economic
collapse there after an "attack."
Video posted recently on
Live
Leak shows now World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz
delivering a
June 2001 West Point commencement speech
wherein he focused on surprise attacks-- making heavy reference to
Pearl Harbor.
Wolfowitz illustrated, just months before the
infamous 9/11 attacks, that Pearl Harbor is interesting in that it
was "preceded by an astonishing number of unheeded warnings and
missed signals."
This surfacing video only reinforces the
pre-meditation established by the
Project for a New American Century (PNAC). Wolfowitz
helped to pen the think tank's September 2000 document 'Rebuilding
America's Defenses' which
stated on pg. 51, amidst a larger call for
dramatic military build-up, that:
"Further, the process of transformation, even if
it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one,
absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a
new Pearl Harbor."
Pearl Harbor is mentioned again later in the
document in arguing for not only accelerated military spending, but
for updated, state-of-the-art equipment, vehicles and Navy vessels.
-------------------- Bush oddly indifferent and complacent.
On September 11, 2001 President Bush was is Sarasota, Florida, "In Sarasota,
Fla. "reading to children in a classroom at 9:05 a.m. when his chief of
staff, Andrew Card, whispered into his ear, according to the Associated
Press (Sept. 12)"A second plane has hit the World Trade Center," he said.
"America is under attack." .
Almost immediately an expression of befuddlement passed across the president's
face. Then, having just been told that the country was under attack, the
commander in chief appeared uninterested in further details. He never asked if
there had been any additional threats, where the attacks were coming from, how
to best protect the country from further attacks, or what was the current
status of NORAD or the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Nor did he call
for an immediate return to Washington. Instead, in the middle of a modern-day
Pearl Harbor, he simply turned back to the matter at hand: the day's photo op.
Precious minutes were ticking by, and many more lives were still at risk.
"Really good readers, whew!" he told the class as the electronic flashes once
again began to blink and the video cameras rolled. "These must be sixth
graders!"
President Bush listened to 18 Booker Elementary School second- graders read a
story about a girl's pet goat . . . before he spoke briefly and somberly about
the terrorist attacks." Many are curious as to why the "Commander-in- Chief"
of the U.S. took about a half-hour before he responded to the national
security urgency, or even addressed the tragedies.
July 1, 2003 Fiddling Around While New York Burns
The Memory Hole
http://www.thememoryhole.org/911/bush-911.mov has made
available a copy of the video taken of Bush on September 11 the moment
he was allegedly informed of the second crash at the World Trade Center.
It is an eery, strange thing to see. The moment the "president of the
United States" is informed that the country is under attack and he just sits
there, like a bag. Inert. What was he thinking while he is sitting there? What
can he be thinking? He's the president of the United States. Why doesn't he
act? Why doesn't he do something - like call NORAD maybe??? How can he just
sit there, unless he doesn't care? He's the one most vital person who has the
power (AND DUTY) to do something and of all the people in the whole
country who knew what was happening, he was probably the most inert.
This is something you have to see just for its colossal bizarreness, and
consider it very carefully as you discern the true meaning of what you are
witnessing with your own eyes.

Intelligence Service deliberately withheld KEY info
NSA didn't share key pre-Sept. 11 information, sources say
WASHINGTON - A secretive U.S. eavesdropping agency monitored telephone
conversations before Sept. 11 between the suspected commander of the World
Trade Center and Pentagon attacks and the alleged chief hijacker, but did
not share the information with other intelligence agencies, U.S. officials
said Thursday.
http://www.prisonplanet.com/nsa_didnt_share_key_pre_sept_11_information.htm
PARIS - Under the influence of United States oil companies, the government
of President George W Bush initially blocked intelligence agencies'
investigations on terrorism while it bargained with the Taliban on the
delivery of Osama bin Laden in exchange for political recognition and
economic aid, two French intelligence analysts claim.
In the book Bin Laden, la verite interdite (Bin Laden, the forbidden truth),
that was released recently, the authors, Jean-Charles Brisard and Guillaume
Dasquie, reveal that the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) deputy
director John O'Neill resigned in July in protest over the obstruction.
The authors claim that O'Neill told them that "the main obstacles to
investigate Islamic terrorism were US oil corporate interests and the role
played by Saudi Arabia in it". The two claim that the US government's main
objective in Afghanistan was to consolidate the position of the Taliban
regime to obtain access to the oil and gas reserves in Central Asia.
UQ Wire: Bin Laden's Brother-in-law Had Close
Ties to Bush
Wednesday, 28 August 2002
Nine hundred families of September 11 victims recently filed a
trillion-dollar lawsuit against members of the royal Saudi family,
businessmen worth a combined $5 billion, and banks and charities. The
lawsuit accuses them of financing Osama bin Laden, Al-Qaeda, and the Taliban
government. And one of the defendants - Saudi Sheikh Khalid bin Mahfouz --
will likely draw increasing attention in coming months due to his past
business relationships with President George W. Bush - the sweetheart deals
he made during the elder Bush's presidency.
According to a Saudi government audit acquired by U.S. intelligence
officials, five of Saudi Arabia's wealthiest businessmen, including National
Commercial Bank (NCB) founder and chairman Khalid bin Mahfouz, transferred
personal funds along with $3 million diverted from a Saudi pension fund, to
New York and London banks with accounts linked to terrorism. (USA Today,

----------------- Clear evidence of Bombs
planted beforehand.
Aaron Swirski, one of the architects of the World Trade Center, said they
designed the towers to withstand airplane collisions. "I designed it for a 707
hit, he said." The collapse of the buildings came as a complete "shock" to him
and his colleagues.
Van Romero, a demolition expert, former director of the Energetic Materials
Research and Testing Center, and current vice present for research at New
Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology said that the manner in which the
twin towers collapsed, resembled those of controlled implosions used in
planned demolition. "My opinion is, based on the videotapes, that after the
airplanes hit the World Trade Center there were some explosive devices inside
the buildings that caused the towers to collapse," Romero said.
NBC Reporter Pat Dawson on the morning of 9-11:
...The Chief of Safety of the Fire Department of New York told me
that...er...he thinks that there were actually devices that were planted in
the building. One of the secondary devices he thinks that took place after
the initial impact was, he thinks, may have been on the plane that crashed
into one of the towers. The second device, he thinks, he speculates, was
probably planted in the building...er... so that's what we have been told
by...erm...Albert Turi who is the Chief of Safety for the New York City Fire
Department, he told me that just moments ago.
Fireman1: Floor by
floor it started popping out...
Fireman2: It was almost like they had detonators. Fireman1: Yeah,
detonators.
Fireman2: .planted to take down the building. boom-boom-boom-boom-boom.. Fireman1: All the
way down. I was watching it and running..
Police, Firemen, news reporters at the scene of the WTC all reported hearing
"bombs" exploding in and around the WTC area. Some firemen clearly used the
expression "detonators".
The New York Fire Department got a "security consultant" - a former head of
the CIA. This "consultant" made a special point to tell the members of the
New York Fire Department to shut up and not talk about the bombs that
they saw, heard and felt in the twin towers on 9-11-1 before the towers
fell.
The US Government also tried to block a tape of the firefighters talking about
the size and intensity of the fires in at least one of the towers.... You can now click here to
watch this video and see why the government did not want YOU, the
public, to hear what the firemen reported.
"[T]here was just an explosion [in the south tower]. It seemed like on
television [when] they blow up these buildings. It seemed like it was
going all the way around like a belt, all these explosions."--
Firefighter Richard Banaciski
"I saw a flash flash flash [at] the lower level of the building. You
know like when they demolish a building?"--Assistant Fire Commissioner
Stephen Gregory
"[I]t was [like a] professional demolition where they set the charges
on certain floors and then you hear 'Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop'."--
Paramedic Daniel Rivera
What does the hard math tell us is the time
it would take for a building the size of the twin towers to collapse from a
"cascade floor collapse", assuming we can ignore (like NOVA did) the fact
the tower has a central mesh-like
construction? = approx 96 seconds. Actual time it
took the towers to fall? = approx 10 seconds.

WTC building seven falls straight down in
perfect symmetry in little more time than an object falling in a vacuum -
6.5 seconds to be exact. What are we supposed to believe happened to the
resistance of the heavy steel frame within the building? WTC 1 and 2
likewise fell at similar rates. Go HERE for
in-depth analysis of building seven
The World Trade Center was destroyed just days after
a heightened security alert was lifted at the landmark 110-story towers,
security personnel said yesterday.
Daria Coard, 37, a guard at Tower One, said the
security detail had been working 12-hour shifts for the past two weeks
because of numerous phone threats. But on Thursday, bomb-sniffing
dogs were abruptly removed.
"Today was the first day there was not the extra
security," Coard said. "We were protecting below. We had the ground
covered. We didn't figure they would do it with planes. There is no way
anyone could have stopped that."
Security guard Hermina Jones said officials had
recently taken steps to secure the towers against aerial attacks by
installing bulletproof windows and fireproof doors in the 22nd-floor
computer command center...
WTC 7 Emergency Head Was Building Collapse Specialist - July 10/08
Hauer reinforced official version of events within hours of 9/11 attack, warned White House to start taking Cipro one week before anthrax attacks.
The former New York City chief emergency manager Jerome Hauer, whose office was on the 23d floor of WTC 7, was also a building collapse specialist, according to a recently uncovered New York Times article.... [full article]
_____________________
Ben
Fountain and Scott Forbes, who both worked in the twin towers, are on
the record as saying that there were numerous evacuations and
power-downs of the twin towers in the weeks leading up to the attack. See below video.....
There is a CITCO gas station located at the entrance of the Pentagon with a
surveillance video camera pointing in the direction of the impact zone. This
camera would have viewed the entire event. That should have ended the
controversy even before it started. Nothing could be more dramatic or
conclusive than images of an American Airlines jet plowing into the side of
the Pentagon. However, according to the owner, Mr. Jose Velasquez: "I've never
seen what the pictures look like. The FBI was here within minutes and took the
film." ["Three Month On, Tension Lingers Near the Pentagon," by Bill McKelway,
National Geographic News, Dec. 11, 2001,]
What a wonderful example of FBI efficiency. The government says it had no idea
that terrorists would use airplanes to attack commercial or government
buildings. Yet, the FBI was on the spot within minutes of the Pentagon strike,
ready to seize private videos.
Bill Gertz and Rowan Scarborough are reporters for The Washington Post. Ten
days after the Pentagon attack, they published the following report:
A security camera atop a hotel close to the Pentagon [the Hilton] may have
captured dramatic footage of the hijacked Boeing 757 airliner as it slammed
into the western wall of the Pentagon. Hotel employees sat watching the film
in shock and horror several times before the FBI confiscated the video as part
of its investigation. ["Video of Attack" by Bill Gertz and Rowan Scarborough,
Inside the Ring, Sept. 21, 2001]
If this report is accurate, then we know that something important was captured
on this tape. Otherwise, the employees would not have watched it in shock and
horror. The FBI has NEVER revealed the images from this camera.
The Virginia Department of Transportation is housed close to the Pentagon.
It has several surveillance cameras positioned to monitor freeway traffic
along Interstate 395. There is reason to believe that one of those cameras
captured an image of the incoming aircraft as it flew only a few feet above
frightened motorists. The company that manufactures and maintains this closed
circuit TV system is the Arinc Company. The following announcement appears on
its web site:
The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) CCTV system used to manage
the Northern Virginia freeway network had cameras in place that observed the
September 11 crash site at the Pentagon. This CCTV system and the VDOT Smart
Traffic Center were used as a command center for emergency responders and
cleanup and recovery crews following the incident.

It is reported that the small amount of wreckage seen at the Pentagon was put
into a large box, covered with a blue tarp, and carried away by men on foot.
Only one small hole [approximately 14 feet in diameter] was made by the impact
of the "aircraft" that hit the pentagon, despite the fact that the 757 is a
twin engine aircraft, and the engines are the objects of largest single mass
on the aircraft, and thus most able to make holes. The wings, we are told,
made no damage to the building and simply
"disintegrated", despite the fact that they were holding some 8,000 or
more
gallons of kerosene jet fuel needed to make the cross country flight.
Engine parts [a single high pressure turbine of some two feet in diameter, and
a small wheel 'not matching the spokes of a 757 nosewheel'] were "found" AT
THE EXIT HOLE of "C" ring, which is totally contrary to the
theory put forward by some government conspiracy theorists that the hole was
made by the cabin body of "the 757" ; and all this is supposed to have
passed through some 9 feet of bomb reinforced concrete, which is something
that even a bunker buster bomb would have difficulty in accomplishing. [Go
HERE for more detail]
In contrast to the incredible lack of metal debris, the autopsy program
conducted by the military in the days following 9/11 succeeded [they claim] IN
JUST FIVE DAYS in identifying nearly ALL of the bodies. The military called
this work of the 'Armed Forces Institute of Pathology' "Operation Noble
Eagle", which is a rather reminiscent of a title appropriate for a offensive
military exercise or covert operation, but not one planned to identify
innocent victims of a terrorist attack. They also had to identify the 189
pentagon workers who were among the dead in this same timeframe.
No Arabs wound up on the morgue slab; however, three ADDITIONAL people not listed by American Airline sneaked in. Here is the FOI document. http://www.bcrevolution.ca/foi_docs.htm
A former Pentagon Air Force Traffic controller writes: "All
those years ago when I was in the Pentagon, this wouldn't have happened. ATC
Radar images were (and are) available in the under structures of the Pentagon,
and any commercial flight within 300 miles of DC that made an abrupt
course change toward Washington, turned off their transponder, and refused to
communicate with ATC, would have been intercepted at supersonic speeds within a max of 9 minutes by a Fighter out of Andrews. Period.
Why these planes weren't, baffles me. If we could get fighters off the ground
in 2 minutes then, we could now." http://www.flight93crash.com/flight93_military_faq.html
Watch how McKinney asks questions about Dyncorp slave rings, the
3 trillion
missing from the pentagon and the 911 wargames.
-------------------- Plane Problems.
Not only are their eyewitness accounts of highly unusual characteristics of the plane alleged to have hit the pentagon {Witness Steve Patterson, 43 said "It was flying so fast that he couldn't read any writing on the side. The plane, which appeared to hold about eight to 12 people, headed straight
for the Pentagon but was flying as if coming in for a landing on a nonexistent runway."} and a Fox News reporter on his way to work also stated the aircraft that hit the south tower of the WTC "had no windows" and "had a circular logo on the nose" which is makes it impossible to be a commercial
flight, much less a United Airlines aircraft.
Digital analysis of FOUR sets of video,
by a Spanish group of VIDEO
experts, found several abnormal objects attached to the plane that hit
the south tower were "not tricks of light and shadow" but
in fact "three dimensional objects", which further supports the idea
that this aircraft [at least] was a military transport, and could not have been a commercial passenger airliner.
AA FLT 11 Take off - 7:59 Deviates from mandated flight path - 8:16 Four minutes later the transponder is turned off.
Hit first tower one half hour after deviation. [Assuming the pilot didn't
shoot it down, even after repeated warning, now we know the intent, and we now
have a military jet right at the WTC]
UA FLT 175 Take off - 8:14 Deviates from mandated flight path - 8:42 Four minutes later the transponder is turned off. Hits second tower 20 minutes after deviation.
AA Flt 77 Take off - 8:20 Deviates from mandated flight path - 8:54 One minute later transponder is turned off. Alegedly hits pentagon 43 minutes later. [There is a time controversy surrounding this aircraft as to the times of
deviation and transponder LOS by as much as 14 minutes.
UA Flt 93 Take off- 8:42 Deviates from mandated flight path - 9:36 Four minutes later the transponder is turned off. [This
is the third aircraft to switch off the transponder within or exactly at the
four minute interval, which suggests whoever was flying was going through
some sort of highly coordinated checklist that had been well learned by
whoever was flying the aircraft. This plane was shot down by two side-winder missiles by air force jets from
the North Dakota Air Guard.
Norman Mineta on Cheney's (unknown) 'Orders' The testimony of Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta on May 23 about
Cheney's actions is revealing. Mineta said he arrived at the Presidential
Emergency Operating Center (PEOC) at 9:20 a.m. where he observed the Vice
President taking charge:
Mineta: There was a young man who had come in and said to the vice president,
"The plane is 50 miles out.The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down
to, "The plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the vice
president, "Do the orders still stand?"
And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course
the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?" Well, at the
time I didn't know what all that meant. And.
Hamilton: The flight you're referring to is the.
Mineta: The flight that came into the Pentagon.
After some discussion of whether Cheney's orders meant to shoot down the
hijacked aircraft, it was clearly stated on the record that there were no such
orders to do so, which raises the obvious question of what "the orders" were:
Hamilton: And so there was no specific order there to shoot that plane down.
Mineta: No, sir.
Hamilton: But there were military planes in the air in position to shoot down
commercial aircraft.
Mineta: That's right. The planes had been scrambled, I believe, from Otis at
that point.
In 1962, the U.S. Government had a plan called "Operation Northwoods." The plan was to carry out fake terrorist attacks in America, and then blame them on Cuba; the purpose of all this being an excuse to invade Cuba.
They were going to:
>
Hijack planes >
Fake a Cuban airforce attack on a civilian jetliner >
Shoot people in sniper attacks >
Blow up a ship >
Blow up John Glenn's space capsule >
Attack military bases
Osama bin Laden took his direction and money from the CIA for ten years.
During this time, approximately $5 billion was funnelled to his organization
through black op budgets into CIA operation known as Maktab al-Khidamar-the
MAK. It is clear, as a MAK mercenary army leader, bin Laden's fortune vastly
increased during that time. It is said that, "Once in the CIA, always in the
CIA." Could this be one of the intelligence organizations about which Milt
Bearden was speaking?
Osama bin Laden and his band of "Terrorists" could not have pulled off the
"sophisticated" operation of four simultaneous air hijackings, and precision
directed attacks, without the support of one or more "intelligence
organizations." This was the expert testimony provided by past CIA
Afghanistan operations director and bin Laden's American intelligence
aficionado, Milt Bearden, interviewed by Dan Rather on September 12, 2001.
In fact, when pressed by Dan Rather to endorse the theory of bin Laden's
culpability, Mr. Bearden stated, "if they didn't have an Osama bin Laden,
they would invent one."
From July 4th-14th 2001, Osama bin Laden was being treated for kidney
infection at the American Hospital, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. There, on
multiple occasions, he met with CIA station Chief Larry Mitchell. Bin Laden
gave Mitchell 'precise information' regarding 'an imminent attack' on the US.
Bin Laden also met with numerous members of his family, who left the US by
chartered flights after September 11th with the full blessings of the US
government.

senior intelligence official has come for a full interview. The CIA will not

Taliban, has been hiding in fear for his life in a remote part of southern

center at Bagram air base, north of Kabul, for interrogation, the Special
Forces soldiers said. He was one of the Taliban's top generals, leading
thousands of troops as coalition forces ousted the hard-line regime. But,
according to these soldiers, Task Force 180 - the overall command in

"Why has the CIA ignored for 11 consecutive months the only anti-al Qaida
Pakistani tribal leader who had tracked bin Laden's movements ever since his
escape from Tora Bora last Dec. 9? In late November 2001, this tribal chief
contacted us via a mutual friend. He said his people knew where bin Laden
was in the Tora Bora mountain range.... [Later] Bin Laden, he informed us,

got there, on Dec 9..... The U.S. intelligence community has been aware of
the tribal leader's name and reputation, but did not contact him. .....
Members of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board who were

been told, 'We'll get back to you on that.' They're still waiting."
Conspiracy of silence?
United Press International, 18 November 2002
NEW YORK, Nov. 29, 2001 — The United States took the unprecedented
step this week of demanding that foreign airlines provide information
on passengers boarding planes for America. Yet in the past week, a half
dozen or more Pakistani air force cargo planes landed in the Taliban-held
city of Kunduz and evacuated to Pakistan hundreds of non-Afghan soldiers
who fought alongside the Taliban and even al-Qaida against the United
States. What’s wrong with this picture?

besieged northern Afghan city before its fall last year, New Yorker

“CIA worked in tandem with Pak to create Taliban”
LONDON: The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) worked in tandem with
Pakistan to create the "monster" that is today Afghanistan's ruling
Taliban, a leading US expert on South Asia said here.
"I warned them that we were creating a monster," Selig Harrison
from the Woodrow Wilson International Centre for Scholars said at
the conference here last week on "Terrorism and Regional
Security: Managing the Challenges in Asia."
Harrison said: "The CIA made a historic mistake in encouraging
Islamic groups from all over the world to come to Afghanistan." The
US provided $3 billion for building up these Islamic groups, and it
accepted Pakistan's demand that they should decide how this money
should be spent, Harrison said.

THE GOVERNMENT IS LYING ABOUT THE FULL EXTENT AND SOURCE OF ANTHRAX ATTACKS
(Washington, D.C.) Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm that
investigates
and prosecutes government corruption and abuse, has concluded, based on the
below
evidence, that the government is lying to the American people about the
severity
of the anthrax crisis.
First, the Associated Press reported yesterday that, “(a)t least some White
House personnel were given Cipro six weeks ago. White House officials won’t
discuss who might be receiving the anthrax-treating antibiotic now. On the
night of the September 11 attacks, the White House Medical Office dispensed
Cipro to staff accompanying Vice President Dick Cheney as he was secreted off
to the safety of Camp David, and told them it was a ‘precaution,’ according to
one person directly involved.” This shows that The White House knew of the
anthrax attacks much sooner than admitted. See “White House Mail Machine Has
Anthrax,” Associated Press, October 23, 2001.

NEWLY RELEASED FBI DOCUMENTS REVEAL ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON SAUDI FLIGHTS
FROM U.S. FOLLOWING 9/11 ATTACKS - Judicial Watch
New information detailing flights of Saudis out of the U.S. from Las Vegas,
and Providence, RI are in the report. FBI procedures in processing the Saudi
flights are also revealed. It is apparent from the report that Bin Laden
family
members and Saudi royals were subject to only cursory, pro forma questioning
by
the FBI. Experienced investigators suggest detailed counterterrorism
interviews
would have taken a minimum of two hours per passenger. There is no evidence
offered that any such efforts were made by the FBI.

A secret military operation in early 2005 to capture senior members of Al Qaeda in Pakistan’s tribal areas was aborted at the last minute after top Bush administration officials decided it was too risky and could jeopardize relations with Pakistan, according to intelligence and military officials.
[Isn't it nice to know "relations with Pakistan" are considered a priority over and above dismantling "Al Qaeda". You actually going to buy that?]
There's no such thing as al Qaeda, or
al Qaida, or however you want to spell it. It's a fraud perpetrated
on the American people by our own (...more) government to scare us
into submission. This is a clip from the excellent three-part BBC
documentary "The Power of Nightmares". You can watch the whole thing
on Google Video or download it at scholarsfor911truth.org.
-------------------------- Government Powers Increasing
The propaganda machine is in high gear. On 911, immediately after the towers
fell the major TV networks broadcast Palestinians dancing in the streets.
This was a sin against humanity and immediately connected blame to the
Palestinians for the falling towers. The US citizen was told that they were
dancing in reaction to the attacks on the US. This inflammatory scene was in
broad daylight while it was actually 10 minutes to sundown when the first
tower was hit. It was after sundown when the second tower was hit and well
into darkness when the towers fell. This footage was later proved to be stock footage of celebrating Palestinians picking up candy and celebrating a
Holy holiday.
On October 31, 2001 the American people and U.S. Constitutional freedoms
were attacked, not by the Taliban government or Muslim terrorists, but by
CDC officials who advanced the "Model State Emergency Health Powers Act"
that will force masses of people suspected of exposure to broadly-defined
"infectious diseases" and biological weapons into concentration camp-like
holding facilities for drugging, vaccination, and quarantine, without any
viable legal recourse.
The entire 9-11 tragedy and subsequent threats to U.S. national and global
securities fits far too perfectly with standard Machiavellian theory to be
overlooked. This ongoing practice - the "problem/reaction/solution" agenda
of precisely "managed chaos"-appears to be standard operating procedures for
oligarchs historically bent on developing a "New World Order." Order from
chaos is the credo. We see their chaos and the plan is for the people to beg
for their order.
Terror Alert Red will institute martial law, and anyone found outside their
homes during that time can be shot, or at the very least arrested and detained
indefinately. Condition
"Orange" has been reached twice already.... and now the CIA is spreading the
word that an attack of weapons of mass destruction is "inevitable"...
The end result will be the same in Canada, as our "Liberal" government has
followed along with the American plan for Tyranny like a lost puppy... The
senate is now discussing martial law plans for the latest upgrade to the
"anti-terrorism" act.... and Anne McLellan is set to mandate universal ID
cards to all Canadians.
Who are the real terrorists?
* Bush clearly and undeniably had advance knowledge of a terrorist attack
on US soil using planes as weapons by 9:05 am on September 11.
* NORAD had it by 8:45 in an unprecedented simultaneous hijacking of four
planes.
* The Pentagon had it, as did everyone in DC by 9:05 as well.
* The Pentagon began to evacuate the building, as did the White House and
Capitol.
EVERYONE had advance knowledge of "Flight 77" coming towards DC for 40
minutes. Yet, there was a complete defensive stand-down. Interceptors from
distant Langley AFB took off late and flew at subsonic speeds to
arrive 5 minutes too late. Planes from nearby Anacostia Naval Air Station,
Andrews Air Force Base, and the 73rd Air Wing at Atlantic City, NJ never
took off. Scramblers in the air already at 9:05 from Otis AFB turned to
target "Flight 77" and were called off.
President Eisenhower said, "Any who act as if freedom's defenses are to be
found in suppression and suspicion and fear confess a doctrine that is
alien
to America."
Let’s address the real issues
here. Why is it important that we not let the so-called conspiracy theories
surrounding 9/11 be drowned out? After spending the better part of the last
five years treating these theories with utmost scepticism, I have devoted
serious time to actually studying them in recent months, and have also
carefully watched several videos that are available on the subject. I have
come to believe that significant parts of the 9/11 theories are true, and
that therefore significant parts of the “official story” put out by the U.S.
government and the 9/11 Commission are false.
Only 16% now

Ex CIA and Marine Intel Officer: 9/11
Was An Inside Job
"I am forced to conclude that 9/11 was at a
minimum allowed to happen as a pretext for war (see my review of Jim
Bamford’s “Pretext for War”), and I am forced to conclude that there is
sufficient evidence to indict (not necessarily convict) Dick Cheney,
Karl Rove and others of a neo-conservative neo-Nazi coup d’etat and
kick-off of the clash of civilizations (see my review of “Crossing the
Rubicon” as well as “State of Denial”). Most fascinatingly, the author
links Samuel Huntington, author of “Clash of Civilizations” with Leo
Strauss, the connecting rod between Nazi fascists and the neo-cons."
Steele's biography is impressive. He was the second-ranking civilian (GS-14) in
U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence from 1988-1992. Steele is a former
clandestine services case officer for the Central Intelligence Agency.
He is the founder and president of Open Source

Chair of the 9/11 Commission now admits that the official evidence they were given was 'far from the truth' Sept15/07
Six years after 9/11, the American public have still not been provided
with a full and truthful account of the single greatest terror attack
in US history.
What they got was a turkey. The 9/11 Commission was hamstrung by official obstruction. It never managed to ascertain the whole truth of what happened on September 11 2001.
The chair and vice chair of the 9/11 Commission, respectively Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, assert in their book, Without Precedent, that they were "set up to fail" and were starved of funds to do a proper investigation. They also confirm that they were denied access to the truth and misled by senior officials in the Pentagon and the federal aviation authority; and that this obstruction and deception led them to contemplate slapping officials with criminal charges.
Despite the many public statements by 9/11 commissioners and staff members acknowledging they were repeatedly lied to, not a single person has ever been charged, tried, or even reprimanded, for lying to the 9/11 Commission. Read full article here....
____________
Government officials speak out......
Lt. Col. Stephen L. Butler. EdD, U. S. Air Force, (ret): “Of course Bush knew about the impending attacks on America. He did nothing to warn the American people because he needed this war on terrorism.”
Philip J. Berg, Former Deputy Attorney General, Penna: “There is overwhelming evidence that Bush and his cronies made 9/11 happen, or let it happen. And if they let it happen, then they made it happen. Either way, they are responsible, and more important, they have completely and unequivocally covered it up!”
Representative Kurt Weldon, Penna- in a speech on the floor of Congress 10/19/05: “I am not a conspiracy theorist, but there is something desperately wrong, Mr. Speaker. There is something outrageous at work here. This is not a third-rate burglary of a political campaign headquarters. This involves the covering up of information that led to the deaths of 3,000 people, changed the course of history, led to the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, and has disrupted our country, our economy, and peoples’ lives.”
Cpt. Eric May, U.S. Army, Ret.: “I view the 9/11 event as something
that implies either (A) passive participation by the Bush White House
trough a deliberate stand-down of proper defense procedures, or (B)
active execution of a plot by rogue elements of government, starting
with the White House itself, in creating a spectacle of destruction that
would lead the United States into an invasion of the Middle East.”
Col. Robert Bowman, U.S. Air Force Ret. : “Who gained from 9/11? And who put out the patently false stories about 9/11? I think the case is pretty clear that it’s highly-placed administration individuals with all roads passing through Cheney. I think the kindest thing we can say about George W. Bush and the people in the U.S. Government that have been involved in this massive cover-up, is that they were aware of impending attacks, and let them happen. Now some people will say that’s much too kind, however even that is high treason and conspiracy to commit murder.”
"I believe there can be no
mercy for those who perpetrated 9/11 and other
crimes against humanity"
- Hillary Clinton, September 28, 2006 - Senate floor.
Facts established by source links......
DISTURBING FACTS ABOUT THE 9/11 ATTACKS
1. The president of the United States, when informed that a second plane had struck the World Trade Center, continued to read about a pet goat.
2. This same president was moved from his high rise hotel in Genoa Italy two months previously for security reasons, because of a known al Qaeda plot for hijacking and "crashing an airliner into the Genoa summit of industrialized nations." The assumption in July 2001 was that there existed a plot that "terrorists would try to crash a plane to kill Bush and other leaders" (LA Times, 9-27-01).
3. The Secret Service did not secure the president, even though his location was publicly disclosed in the press for days before the school photo op on 9/11. This was a break in standard operating procedures that left the president vulnerable in the middle of a purported "attack" on America.
5. Vice President Richard Cheney was placed in charge of anti-terrorism training and military preparedness exercises by Bush on May 8, 2001. This gave him command authority during the 9/11 attacks because as many as nine war game exercises involving military and intelligence agencies were occurring simultaneously. [See: Cheney's secret order]
6. The military's "Air Piracy" regulations were rewritten on June 1st 2001 to require the "Secretary of Defense" to give "approval" for military escort aircraft in the event of a hijacking. Donald Rumsfeld gave no "approval" that day.
7. More than an hour and fifteen minutes after the first hijacking was reported by FAA, the US military headquarters at the Pentagon was struck without any defensive action taken to stop the attack. The impact was on the west side, for some reason the only side that had been "hardened" with blast-proof windows and specially reinforced walls. None of the highest ranking military leadership were located on that side.
8. (TRANSCRIPT) Air Force General Richard Myers: "When it became clear what the threat was, we did scramble fighter aircraft, AWACS, radar aircraft and tanker aircraft to begin to establish orbits in case other aircraft showed up in the FAA system that were hijacked..."
Senator Carl Levin: "Was that order that you just described given before or after the Pentagon was struck? Do you know?"
Air Force General Richard Myers: "That order, to the best of my knowledge, was after the Pentagon was struck."
Reality intrudes. It became "clear what the threat was," the moment the first hijacked airliner struck the North Tower at 8:45am. This congressional testimony is inexcusable and grounds for investigation into criminal negligence, dereliction of duty, and treason.
9. "President Bush personally asked Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle Tuesday to limit the congressional investigation into the events of September 11..." ..."Tuesday's discussion followed a rare call to Daschle from Vice President Dick Cheney last Friday to make the same request."
10. The Project For a New American Century, which wrote of the need for a "catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor," had members throughout the top of the government on 9/11 including Cheney, Rumsfeld, Perle, Wolfowitz, Feith, Bolton, Armitage, Abrams, Wurmser, as well as Bush's brother, the governor of Florida, Jeb.
11. Four days before 9/11, Jeb Bush activated the Florida National Guard,"Based on the potential massive damage to life and property that may result from an act of terrorism at a Florida port."(Executive Order 01-261).
12. On 9/11 Jeb Bush declared a "State of Emergency" in Florida (E.O. 01-262). "I hereby delegate to the Department of Law Enforcement the operational authority to coordinate and direct the law enforcement resources and other resources of any and all state, regional and local governmental agencies..." And by 2am on 9/12/01, Jeb Bush was reported to have confiscated the police records in Venice, FL related to the Huffman Aviation flight school. Two rental trucks full of these records drove onto a C-130 military aircraft at Sarasota Airport and flew out with Jeb Bush aboard.
13. Huffman Aviation flight school, where Mohamed Atta and other alleged hijackers trained, had a Lear jet seized by the DEA with "43 pounds of heroin" onboard. No one was ever prosecuted in connection with the "biggest drug seizure in central Florida history."
14. The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks on the United States ("9/11 Commission") was a blatant and obvious cover-up under the control of Bush administration member and "Executive Director" Phillip Zelikow. This cover-up can be proven easily with one example: the time of Dick Cheney's arrival at the Presidential Emergency Operations Center ("PEOC bunker"). Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta testified under oath that Cheney was present at 9:20am and issuing "orders" related to the plane that struck the Pentagon. Mineta's testimony was completely omitted from their final report, and a fraudulent time of 9:58am for Cheney's arrival was given instead (book pg 40 / .pdf file pg 57).
15. The 9/11 Commission was originally only given $3 million to investigate the greatest terrorist attacks on US soil in our history. The Bush administration then witheld requested documents forcing the Commissioners to issue subpoenas to FAA and the Department of Defense.
16. So many lies were told by Bush administration officials regarding warnings before the attacks, that it is difficult to count them. Ari Fleischer's two word response, "No warnings,"aboard Air Force One on 9/11, sums up the administration's claim.
17. Contrary to the Bush administration's claim: "Newspapers in Germany, France, Russia and London reported in the months before September 11th of a blizzard of warnings delivered to the Bush administration from all points on the compass. The German intelligence service BND warned American and Israeli agencies that terrorists were planning to hijack commercial aircraft and use them as weapons to attack important American targets. Egypt warned of a similar plane-based plot against Bush during the G-8 summit in Genoa last June [2001], a warning taken so seriously that anti-aircraft batteries were placed around Columbus Airport in Italy. Last August [2001], Russian intelligence services notified the CIA that 25 terrorist pilots had been trained for suicide missions, and Putin himself confirmed that this warning was delivered 'in the strongest possible terms' specifically regarding threats to airports and government buildings." -Newsweek, May 20, 2002
18. In July of 2001, CIA Director George Tenet and CIA counterterrorism chief J. Cofer Black claim to have made a detailed presentation and warned National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Attorney General John Ashcroft of imminent attacks on US soil by Al Qaeda operatives. This was also omitted from the 9/11 Commission Report.
19. Many more warnings stretching back to the early 1990s were known to intelligence agencies and to FBI. These warnings expose as a lie National Security Advisor Rice's response: "I don't think anybody could have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into the Pentagon; that they would try to use an airplane as a missile, a hijacked airplane as a missile."
20. March 7, 2001: "The Russian Permanent Mission at the United Nations secretly submits “an unprecedentedly detailed report” to the UN Security Council about bin Laden, his whereabouts, details of his al-Qaeda network, Afghan drug running, and Taliban connections to Pakistan and the ISI. The report provides “a listing of all bin Laden’s bases, his government contacts and foreign advisers,” and enough information to potentially locate and kill him. It is said to contain an “astonishing degree of information.” The US fails to use the information in any noticable manner. Alex Standish, the editor of the highly respected Jane’s Intelligence Review, concludes that the attacks of 9/11 were less of an American intelligence failure than the result of “a political decision not to act against bin Laden.” [Jane's Intelligence Review, 10/5/2001; Times of India, 10/8/2001]
21. On August 6, 2001 a CIA briefer went to Bush's Crawford ranch to read the president a briefing called, "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US" (2 redacted pages out of 11 reported). After the briefing, Bush told the CIA man, "All right. You've covered your ass, now." Bush then went fishing.
22. Minneapolis FBI Agent and Legal Advisor Colleen Rowley (21 year veteran) said that the FBI Headquarters Special Supervisory Agent, "seemed to have been consistently, almost deliberately thwarting the Minneapolis FBI agents' efforts ...continued to, almost inexplicably, throw up roadblocks and undermine Minneapolis' by-now desperate efforts to obtain a FISA search warrant, long after the French intelligence service provided its information and probable cause became clear. ...Even after the attacks had begun, the SSA in question was still attempting to block the search of Moussaoui's computer, characterizing the World Trade Center attacks as a mere coincidence. ...HQ personnel never disclosed to the Minneapolis agents that the Phoenix Division had, only approximately three weeks earlier, warned of Al Qaeda operatives in flight schools seeking flight training for terrorist purposes!"
23. FBI Special Agent Robert Wright (12 year veteran) said: "“[T]here existed a concerted effort on the part of agents conducting counterterrorism intelligence investigations to insulate the subjects of their investigations from criminal investigation and prosecution.” ...“The supervisor ...started yelling at me: ‘You will not open criminal investigations. I forbid any of you. You will not open criminal investigations against any of these intelligence subjects.’” ..."(T)here is virtually no effort on the part of the FBI’s International Terrorism Unit to neutralize known and suspected terrorists residing within the United States."
"A lawyer speaking for (FBI Special Agent) Wright after 9/11 will blame Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division Michael Chertoff for refusing to take Wright’s concerns seriously before 9/11." Chertoff will later be appointed to become head of the Orwellian-named Department of Homeland Security.
"Larry Klayman, one of two lawyers now representing [FBI Agent] Wright, later says he calls the Justice Department a few days after 9/11 and asks that Wright be allowed to present his issues to Attorney General John Ashcroft. Klayman claims he receives a reply from Michael Chertoff, then head of the Criminal division, who refuses to meet with Wright and says, “We are tired of conspiracy theories.”
FBI Agent Wright says at his press conference: “Corruption is knowing when something is not being done, knowing when the American people are being left unprotected and when you make a decision not to do something to protect the American people... And you effectively allow 9/11 to occur. That is the ultimate form of government corruption—dereliction of duty. That’s subject in the military to prosecution, to court martial.... Frankly, if not treason.”
24. FBI Agent Harry Samit, who before 9/11 sent 70 communications to supervisors warning them of Moussauoi's plan to hijack a commercial jet and crash it -- to no avail -- has said, “...(I)f you’re not going to advance this the FISA route, or if you don’t believe we have enough for a FISA, I shudder to think—and that’s all I got out. And [Supervisory Special Agent Mike Maltbie] cut me off and said, ‘You will not question the unit chief [David Frasca] and you will not question me. We’ve been through a lot. We know what’s going on. You will not question us.’”
25. On July 10, 2001 FBI Agents in Phoenix AZ issued a memo to FBIHQ requesting that headquarters investigate flight schools across the U.S. to look for middle eastern filight students connected to international terrorist organizations. Nothing was done, and the information was not shared.
26. "The [FBI Inspector General] report attributes the inaction and inattention to the lack of resources committed to anti-terrorist activities in the summer of 2001. For instance, there was only a single research analyst assigned to the FBI’s Bin Laden Unit in 2001, andshe was transferred to another unit in July 2001."
27. "Although the FBI's counterterrorism budget tripled during the mid-1990s, its counterterrorism spending stayed fairly constant between fiscal years 1998 and 2001" ..."Then-acting FBI Director Thomas Pickard said he appealed to Ashcroft for more money for counterterrorism but on Sept 10, 2001, one day before the attacks on New York and Washington that killed nearly 3,000 people, Ashcroft rejected the appeal."
"'Mr. Ashcroft told you that he did not want to hear about this anymore,' Democratic commission member Richard Ben-Veniste asked on April 13. 'Is that correct?'"
"'That is correct,' Pickard replied."
..."(A)nother senior FBI official tells NBC News he vividly recalls Pickard returning from the meeting that day furious that Ashcroft had cut short the terrorism briefing. Several sources familiar with the investigation say Garcia confirmed to the commission that Ashcroft did indeed dismiss Pickard's warnings about al-Qaida."
29. FBI Translator Sibel Edmonds has become the most gagged whistleblower in the country's history. In a letter to 9/11 Commissioner Thomas Kean, she said, "“If Counterintelligence receives information that contains money laundering, illegal arms sale, and illegal drug activities, directly linked to terrorist activities; and if that information involves certain nations, certain semi-legit organizations, and ties to certain lucrative or political relations in this country, then, that information is not shared with Counterterrorism, regardless of the possible severe consequences. In certain cases, frustrated FBI agents cited ‘direct pressure by the State Department,’ and in other cases ‘sensitive diplomatic relations’ is cited. ...Your hearings did not include questions regarding these unspoken and unwritten policies and practices. Despite your full awareness and understanding of certain criminal conduct that connects to certain terrorist related activities, committed by certain US officials and high-level government employees, you have not proposed criminal investigations into this conduct, although under the laws of this country you are required to do so."
Another FBI translator, who had been "shielding" the targets of FBI investigations, told Sibel Edmonds: "“Why are you doing this, Sibel? Why don’t you just drop it? You know there could be serious consequences. Why put your family in Turkey in danger over this?” Sibel Edmonds' sister was reportedly sought by Turkish police shortly after this incident.
30. The FBI's top Al Qaeda investigator, John O'Neill, "resigned in July of 2001 in protest over the obstruction of terrorist investigations."
31. Two of the alleged hijackers lived openly in San Diego with an FBI informant for over a year: "The FBI inspector general’s report reveals for the first time that the CIA not only failed to inform the FBI about [Al] Mihdhar, but that CIA officials intervened to suppress a memorandum drafted by an FBI agent detailed to the CIA-run Counter-Terrorism Center (CTC), who wanted to notify the FBI about the suspected terrorist with a US visa."
"One FBI official familiar with the case will later complain, “[The CIA] purposely hid [Almihdhar] from the FBI, purposely refused to tell the bureau. ...And that’s why September 11 happened. ...They have blood on their hands.” [Bamford, 2004, pp. 224, A Pretext for War: 9/11, Iraq, and the Abuse of America's Intelligence Agencies]
32. The 9/11 Commission, at the orchestration of Bush administration member and "Executive Director" Phillip Zelikow, wrote: “To date, the US government has not been able to determine the origin of the money used for the 9/11 attacks. ...Ultimately the question of the origin of the funds is of little practical significance.”
33. The Times of India reported that Indian Intelligence had traced the wire transfers of over $100,000 from British born terrorist and reported MI6 and ISI asset Omar Saeed Sheikh in the UAE to Mohamed Atta in Florida, on the orders of the head of Pakistani intelligence Lt. General Mahmoud Ahmad. This was reportedly confirmed by the FBI. The Pakistani ISI chief Ahmad resigned immediately, but he has never been sought by US authorities for funding and participating in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
34. ISI chief Lt. General Mahmoud Ahmad was in Washington DC the week prior to 9/11, meeting with CIA Director George Tenet and other high ranking US officials including Tenet's replacement at CIA Porter Goss.
36. Osama bin Laden was also reportedly admitted to a US MILITARY HOSPITALin Dubai, UAE, in July of 2001 for kidney dialysis treatment. There bin Laden is said to have met with the CIA station chief, Larry Mitchell.
37. Senator Bob Graham, head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said: "I was surprised at the evidence that there were foreign governments [Plural!] involved in facilitating the activities of at least some of the terrorists in the United States." ..."I think there is very compelling evidence that at least some of the terrorists were assisted not just in financing -- although that was part of it -- by a sovereign foreign government and that we have been derelict in our duty to track that down, make the further case, or find the evidence that would indicate that that is not true."
38. Senator Bob Graham also said: "High officials in [the Saudi Arabian] government, who I assume were not just rogue officials acting on their own, made substantial contributions to the support and wellbeing of two of these terrorists and facilitated their ability to plan, practise and then execute the tragedy of September 11." These investigations remain blocked, classified, covered-up and unresolved to this day by the Bush administration's clear Obstruction of Justice.
39. Senator and 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned, saying: "This is the most serious independent investigation since the Warren Commission. And after watching History Channel shows on the Warren Commission last night, the Warren Commission blew it. I'm not going to be part of that. I'm not going to be part of looking at information only partially. I'm not going to be part of just coming to quick conclusions. I'm not going to be part of political pressure to do this or not do that. I'm not going to be part of that. This is serious."
40. At least 7 of the alleged "hijackers" were reported to be still alive. Neither the FBI nor the 9/11 Commission corrected the identities, and the government has treated the issue of who exactly attacked America on September 11th as relatively unimportant. The flight manifests released by the airlines did not contain any of the names of the hijackers (who supposedly bought tickets just like everybody else), and there are discrepancies in the number of persons reported to be onboard the airliners. This also has not been explained by officials, at all.
41. The Dulles Airport security camera video released as evidence of hijackers has no time or date stamp, nor any other coded information, which suggests that it may not be authentic.
42. The aircraft "black boxes" from the World Trade Center site were admittedly recovered by NYC Fireman Nicholas DeMassi. The FBI, NTSB and the 9/11 Commission all deny they were ever recovered at all.
43. Congress shoveled $15 Billion of taxpayer money to the airlines immediately after 9/11 as one of the first responses to the attacks.
44. The autopsy report from the Pentagon crash site contains no mention of any of the hijackers.
45. Up to 200 Israeli agents were arrested and detained in relation to September 11th. This includes five Mossad agents who were celebrating the World Trade Center job with "cries of joy and mockery." The Justice Department (sic) released all of the Israelis, and the entire matter was made "classified."
46. "According to several Weehawken neighbors of the [Israeli MOSSAD front operation] Urban Moving Systems warehouse, the FBI, upon searching the warehouse, discoveredfertilizer, other chemicals for making explosives, pipes, caps, and traces of anthrax.After anthrax was discovered, investigators wearing hazardous material suits went through the warehouse."
47. "On the night of the Sept. 11 attacks, the White House Medical Office dispensed [the anthrax drug] Cipro to staff accompanying Vice President Dick Cheney as he was secreted off to the safety of Camp David..." The public was not warned about anthrax or alerted about Cipro for another six weeks, when anthrax-laden letters were sent through the mail to top Democratic congressmen and to others.
48. "Palestinians" were accused of committing the 9/11 attacks by Israeli MOSSAD operatives. One of the arrested MOSSAD agents told the police, “We are Israelis, we are not your problem. Your problems are our problem. Palestinians are the problem.” A phone call to the "Jersey City Police Department ...claimed 'Palestinians' in Arab clothes were seen celebrating the attacks." Was this MOSSAD referring to their own covert agents? At 9:43am on 9/11, "Abu Dhabi television reports it received a call from the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, claiming responsibility for crashing two planes into the WTC. However leading officials later deny the claim."
49. Israeli instant messaging firm Odigo received warnings of the World Trade Center attacks 2 hours before they occurred.
50. Zim American / Israeli Shipping broke its lease in the World Trade Center and evacuated one week before the attacks. The company is 49% owned by the Israeli government.
51. Although the Israeli government sent MOSSAD officers to "warn" the U.S. about imminent terror attacks in August 2001: "'They had no specific information about what was being planned but linked the plot to Osama bin Laden and told the Americans that there were strong grounds for suspecting Iraqi involvement,' said a senior Israeli security official." Mixing Osama bin Laden together with his enemy Saddam Hussein has been a ridiculous propaganda exercise, and exposed as such.
52. Fire has never, before or after 9/11, caused a steel-framed building to completely collapse. Three gigantic steel-framed skyscrapers were alleged to have collapsed from the effects of fire, including the 47 story building 7 which was not hit by a plane. The Twin Towers and building 7 displayed numerous characteristics of controlled demolition including free fall speed, collapsing into footprints, pulverization of all the concrete, and the sounds and appearances of explosive charges, as reported by many eyewitnesses. Needless to say, this has not been investigated officially, because officials refuse to admit the possibility existed at all.
53. "Fire Engineering [Magazine] has good reason to believe that the "official investigation" blessed by FEMA and run by the American Society of Civil Engineers is a half-baked farce that may already have been commandeered by political forces whose primary interests, to put it mildly, lie far afield of full disclosure. Except for the marginal benefit obtained from a three-day, visual walk-through of evidence sites conducted by ASCE investigation committee members- described by one close source as a "tourist trip"-no one's checking the evidence for anything."
54. "'The decision to rapidly recycle the steel columns, beams and trusses from the WTC in the days immediately after 9/11 means definitive answers may never be known.'[NY Times] The next week, Fire Engineering magazine said: 'We are literally treating the steel removed from the site like garbage, not like crucial fire scene evidence ...The destruction and removal of evidence must stop immediately.'" (Griffin)
55. Ben Fountain, who worked in the South Tower, told People Magazine, "Over the past few weeks we'd been evacuated a number of times, which is unusual. I think they had an inkling something was going on."
56. On Thursday, September 6, 2001 bomb-sniffing dogs were removed and the security threat level at the World Trade Center was downgraded.
57. Scott Forbes who worked in the South Tower described a "power down" on the weekend before 9/11, which was corroborated by WTC janitor William Rodriquez in his RICO lawsuit. The power down knocked out communications, computer systems, and security cameras. Numerous workmen were reported, and the sounds of heavy construction, and a pervasive grey dust was found on the 97th floor by Forbes.
58. William Rodriguez also reported bombs in the basement levels and on various floors. After describing a series of explosions, Rodriguez heard that floor 65 had completely collapsed (nowhere near the plane impact zone). Rodriguez also claims to have heard construction on floor 34 affter the plane impacts, a floor that wasn't in use.
59. President Bush's brotherMarvin Bush had been a director for Securacom (now Stratasec) that was in charge of security for the WTC, United Airlines and Dulles Airport (where Flight 77 originated). An Israeli security firm, ICTS International had security responsibilities at Boston Logan airport and other airports involved in the September 11th attacks.
60. On September 10, 2001 Willie Brown, the mayor of San Francisco, received a warning not to fly. He credited who he called "my security people at the airport." No FAA warnings had been issued however "in recent days."
61. "On Sept. 10, NEWSWEEK has learned, a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly canceled travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns."
62. "The author Salman Rushdie believes that US authorities knew of an imminent terrorist strike when they banned him from taking internal flights in Canada and the US only a week before the attacks. On September 3 the Federal Aviation Authority made an emergency ruling to prevent Mr Rushdie from flying unless airlines complied with strict and costly security measures."
63. "The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday it provided 15 warnings to airlines regarding possible terrorist attacks -- including al Qaeda hijackings -- in the months leading up to September 11. ...The FAA mentioned Osama bin Laden or al Qaeda in alerts the agency sent to domestic airlines." At this same time, July 2001, the FAA inexplicably terminated a firearms certification program for commercial airline pilots, which had made it legal for pilots to be armed since 1961.
64. A military data mining operation called Able Danger created a presentation chart in 2000 that allegedly included four future 9/11 hijackers. Their recommendation to send the data to the FBI was thwarted by military lawyers and by higher ranking officers. Yellow stickers were placed over the photographs of Mohamed Atta and the others. Although this information was brought directly to several of the 9-11 Commissioners, including Phillip Zelikow, it was never mentioned in their final report.
65. Purported "lead hijacker" Mohamed Atta was already known to US intelligence when he was living in Germany. "He is 'reportedly observed buying large quantities of chemicals in Frankfurt, apparently for the production of explosives [and/or] for biological warfare.' ...'The US agents reported to have trailed Atta are said to have failed to inform the German authorities about their investigation,' even as the Germans are investigating many of his associates."
66. "Military records show that hijackers Saeed and Ahmed Alghamdi listed their address on driver licenses and car registrations as 10 Radford Blvd., a base roadway where residences for foreign-military flight trainees are located, according to Newsweek (9-15-2001) ...(A) now-mysteriously deceased, Pensacola naval flight instructor from the Royal Saudi Air Force had the same name [Alghamdi] and also lived and worked at the U.S. naval air base."
67. "U.S. military sources have given the FBI information that suggests five of the alleged hijackers of the planes that were used in [the 9/11] terror attacks received training at secure U.S. military installations in the 1990s."
68. "Ali Mohamed was involved with most of the major al Qaeda attacks against U.S. interests: ...the 1993 WTC bombing, the African Embassy bombings in 1998 and, even though he was arrested in late 1998, [Peter] Lance proposes that he also helped train some of the 9/11 hijackers in hijacking techniques. Astoundingly, Mohamed participated in these operations while also being a U.S. citizen, being enlisted in the U.S. military, ...and being an FBI informant in California. Importantly, ...he also had ties to the CIA."
69. While "Loose Change" is attacked for getting some things incorrect, the film does correctly describe Operation Northwoods, which was approved by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1962. The military planners expressly said: "We could develop a Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington [DC]. ...Harassment of civil air, attacks on surface shipping, and destruction of US military drone aircraft by MIG type planes would be useful as complementary actions. ...We could sink a boatload of Cubans enroute to Florida (real or simulated). ...At a designated time the duplicate would be substituted for the actual civil aircraft and would be loaded with the selected passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases."
70. And, while Operation Northwoods was not implemented, another U.S. state-sponsored terror campaign called Operation Gladio did murder innocent civilians across Europe at the orchestration of the CIA (BBC Documentary on Operation Gladio).
Dr. Alexander Kee Dewdney and Dr. Graeme MacQueen presented a detailed analysis that questions the official theory of September 11, 2001
Now watch this informative and well researched anthology and
historically documented account of government sponcered terror, from
various government "intel" syndicates.
Our leaders have told us that the war on
terror may last a hundred years, a new kind of war, against a shadowy
enemy that can never be defeated. Generation after generation will have
to lay down its liberty in an endless war for global empire The evil men
who rise to power know well that terrorism is the perfect spector to
convince populations to relinquish their liberty in the name of
security.
TERRORSTORM explores who pulls the strings and who benefits from the
dark spectacle of modern warfare. This incredible new film answers the
question: do the people know how they are controlled?
Do they understand the systems of power that surround them, the modern
prop machines of public relations that wash their brains and fill their
minds full of ball games and mindless fluff?
Is the population beginning to realize that governments throughout
history have used the spector of fear to drive their populations to
acquiesce to total tyranny?
TERRORSTORM examines September 11th, national ID cards, Big Brothers,
the Iraq War, the 7/7 Bombings in London, and the invasion of Iran to
reveal exactly how are they all connected.
Previous films have focused primarily on 9/11 as the foundational event,
the pretext, for the current geopolitical structure.
National polls show that most Americans and westerners believe the
official story of 9/11 to be a fraud, and a large part of that majority
believe that 9/11 was an inside job, but the establishment press
continue contest any alternative view concerning 9/11.
TERRORSTORM begins with a look at historical events that are not
contested. Events where the fact of government sponsered terror is not
debated but in fact openly admited to by western governments.
This powerful documentary explores the mindset of the average
brainwashed westerner and delves deeply in to those systems of control
which have been designed to imprison their minds and keep their eyes
closed to the realities of the world around them.
In the course of the trial it was revealed that the
FBI had an informant, a former Egyptian army officer named Emad
A. Salem. Salem claims to have informed the FBI of the plot to
bomb the towers as early as February 6, 1992. Salem's role as
informant allowed the FBI to quickly pinpoint the conspirators
out of the hundreds of possible suspects.
Salem, initially believing that this was to be a
sting operation, claimed that the FBI's original plan was for
Salem to supply the conspirators with a harmless powder instead
of actual explosive to build their bomb, but that the FBI chose
to use him for other purposes instead. [4] He secretly recorded
hundreds of hours of telephone conversations with his FBI
handlers; reported by Ralph Blumenthal in the New York Times,
Oct. 28, 1993, secton A,Page 1.
Former ISI Chief: Mumbai And 9/11 Both “Inside Jobs” -P Watson, December 8, 2008
General Hamid Gul, the former head of the Pakistani ISI, told CNN yesterday that both the Mumbai attacks and 9/11 were “inside jobs,”
9/11 inquiry head 'tried to shield George Bush' - Tom Leonard, London Telegraph, Feb. 5, 2008
The head of the commission that investigated the Sept 11 terrorist attacks had closer ties to the White House than he admitted and tried to limit the Bush administration's responsibility for the incident, a book claims.
Philip Zelikow, the 9/11 Commission's executive director, allegedly attempted to intimidate staff to avoid findings that would be damaging to President George W Bush, who was running for re-election, and Condoleezza Rice, his then National Security Adviser.
The claims are made by Philip Shenon in The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation, published today.
An expert computer analyst has presented evidence that so-called "Al-Qaeda" tapes are routinely digitally doctored and has also unwittingly exposed an astounding detail that clearly indicates a Pentagon affiliated organization in the U.S. is directly responsible for releasing the videos.
"Neal Krawetz, a researcher and computer security consultant, gave an interesting presentation today at the BlackHat security conference in Las Vegas about analyzing digital photographs and video images for alterations and enhancements," reports Wired News.
Michael Chertoff: Defender of Terror - by Sander HicksMy eight months of investigation into the claims of FBI whistle blower, Randy Glass, led me to new information about Assistant Attorney General Michael Chertoff. So I was shocked when he was nominated for Director of Homeland Security, and dumbfounded when he skated through his confirmation hearings.
Chertoff is a master of cover-up. He defended a financier of Osama bin Laden and kept him out of jail. He looked the other way during the investigation into the death of White House lawyer Vince Foster. Chertoff advised the White House and CIA on the legality of torture. No one said a word about any of this, and now Chertoff is in Bush's Cabinet as Director of Homeland Security. [read full article]

Post 9/11 Anthrax & Beltway Sniper Attacks: Well Timed Inside Jobs?
In every single major terror sting we have researched in the west since 9/11, not one single plot has been absent the ingredient of a government provocateur, save the cases that were outright manufactured by imaginative government propagandists in alliance with the corporate media.
In this case, the provocateur was "An informant with a criminal history including drug trafficking and racketeering agreed to work with investigators on the case, in exchange for payments and a reduced sentence," according to the New York Times.
