LA 9/11 Truth Conference a huge success - CSPAN to air segments this week. The 9/11 American Scholars Symposium concluded in Los Angeles Sunday and was extremely well received by the thousand plus in attendance.
A Reuters article summarizing the event presented a reasonably balanced appraisal of the intentions and scope of the conference, mirroring a burgeoning climate of accurate 9/11 truth movement coverage. Reflecting a positive trend embraced by an earlier New York Times article, the Reuters report on the conference mainly sticks to the facts and avoids the scoffing, sneering tone of similar reports about 9/11 events we have seen over the last few years.
The Reuters article has mainly been picked up by foreign news outlets. From previous experience we know that newswire gatekeepers, ostensibly operating out of London, selectively sideline sensitive stories and order them not to receive substantive nationwide attention. The Reuters piece has not been picked up by any US or European news outlet thus far. Reuters is based in London, England, in the heart of the British Empire.
Video footage of Charlie Sheen's appearance as well as a raft of other presentations and interviews with keynote speakers will feature in free video clips and extra footage at PrisonPlanet.TV and Infowars.com over the next two weeks.
Pirate News TV attended the 9/11 Con in L.A. and will also post video of the event ASAP.
Most Police, Firefighters Now Believe 9/11 Inside Job - NY CITY - Saying that the "entire atmosphere had changed," Alex Jones explained how police support for protesters at ground zero had gone from 20% support two years ago to around 60% support now - with many willing to affirm that sentiment on camera and many knowledgeable about Alex Jones' work and the 9/11 truth movement. "Police just saying 'keep your investigation going, we appreciate you' on video," said Jones. 9/11/2006

June 26, 2006 - About 1,200 people gathered over the weekend for what organizers billed as the largest conference on the conspiracy theories that consider the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to be a result of official negligence or a U.S. attempt to incite world war.
"There are so many prominent people . . . who have stated that the evidence is overwhelming that 9/11 was an inside job," syndicated radio talk show host Alex Jones said at a news conference.
Conspiracy theorists are convinced that the U.S. military command "stood down" on the day of the attacks, that the hijackers were trained at U.S. military bases and that the World Trade Center towers collapsed because of a series of controlled explosions set before they were hit by two hijacked planes. Suggested motives include expected benefits for U.S. arms and oil conglomerates, and revolutionary plans for a new world order headed by the United States.
Tens of thousands of raucous paradegoers braved a steady downpour and lined Fifth Avenue for the annual gay pride parade. It was one of several gay pride parades across the country over the weekend, including a similar-size one in San Francisco.
The U.S. population -- 299,061,199 as of midday yesterday -- is on target to hit 300 million this fall, and it is likely that the milestone baby, or immigrant, will be a Mexican citizen illegally in the USA. Latinos are driving the population growth and accounted for almost half of the increase last year, more than any other ethnic or racial group, the Census Bureau said.
A University of California chancellor died Saturday in an apparent suicide jump from a 43-story apartment building, authorities said. Denice Dee Denton, 46, the chancellor of the Santa Cruz campus, was depressed about personal and professional problems, her mother, Carolyn Mabee, told the San Francisco Chronicle. Denton had been criticized for demanding $600,000 in renovations to her house on the campus and a $192,000-a-year university position created for her longtime partner, Gretchen Kalonji.
Keith Olbermann mentioned the Chicago 9/11 event on his show this evening in a segment on the recent confessions by treasonous Jew Judith Miller about receiving prior warning of a major attack by Al-CIAduh prior to 9/11. While he provided little detail on the event, it is quite a change to see 9/11 skeptics being given some form of recognition - maybe next they will notice that a former Bush cabinet member presented at the event and believes 9/11 was an inside job himself.
CHICAGO, NY Times, June 4, 2006 — In the ballroom foyer of the Embassy Suites Hotel, the two-day International Education and Strategy Conference for 9/11 Truth was off to a rollicking start. Such was the coming-out for the movement known as "9/11 Truth," a society of skeptics and scientists who believe the government was complicit in the terrorist attacks. In colleges and chat rooms on the Internet, this band of disbelievers has been trying for years to prove that 9/11 was an inside job. It was, in tone, half trade show, half political convention.
There were talks on the Reichstag fire and the sinking of the Battleship Maine as precedents for 9/11. The former owner of a recycling plant outside St. Louis, Mr. Berger joined the movement when he grew skeptical of why the 9/11 Commission had failed, to his sense of sufficiency, to answer how the building at 7 World Trade Center collapsed like a ton of bricks. It was his "9/11 trigger," the incident that drew him in, he said. For others, it might be the fact that the air-defense network did not prevent the attacks that day, or the appearance of thousands of "puts" — or short-sell bids — on the nation's airline stocks.
Such "red flags," as they are sometimes called, were the meat and potatoes of the keynote speech on Friday night by Alex Jones, who is the William Jennings Bryan of the 9/11 band. Mr. Jones, a syndicated radio host, is known for his larynx-tearing screeds against corruption.
At the lectern Friday night, beside a digital projection reading "History of Government Sponsored Terrorism," Mr. Jones set forth the central tenets of 9/11 Truth: that the military command that monitors aircraft "stood down" on the day of the attacks; that President Bush addressed children in a Florida classroom instead of being whisked off to the White House; that the hijackers, despite what the authorities say, were trained at American military bases; and that the towers did not collapse because of burning fuel and weakened steel but because of a "controlled demolition" caused by pre-set bombs.
The movement's answer to the government's report was written by Steven E. Jones, a professor of physics at Brigham Young University and the movement's expert in the matter of collapse.
A poll released last month by Zogby International found that 42 percent of all Americans believe the 9/11 Commission "concealed or refused to investigate critical evidence" in the attacks. This is in addition to the Zogby poll two years ago that found that 49 percent of New York City residents agreed with the idea that some leaders "knew in advance" that the attacks were planned and failed to act.
VILLAGE VOICE - Oliver Stone and Paramount are intent on getting out the message that World Trade Center doesn't traffic in fringy speculations about the 9-11 attacks—since the unabashedly liberal director's JFK (1991) stands as the most mainstream movie elaboration of conspiracy theory to date.
Studio reps screened portions of the film on Capitol Hill a few weeks ago in a preemptive strike against potential red-state congressional grumblers. And indeed, right-wing pundits have so far embraced the movie: "It is one of the greatest pro-American, pro-family, pro-male, flag-waving, God Bless America films you will ever see," Fox News' Cal Thomas gushed in his syndicated column.
But Stone's attempt at muffling his JFK rep has raised hackles within the burgeoning world of conspiracy theorists. David Slesinger of 911courage.com - one of countless sites devoted to alternative explanations of the events of September 11 - organized a "call to action" to his fellow "9-11 Truth activists." Slesinger proposes staging nonviolent protests on the film's opening weekend by flyering and picketing "suburban mall theaters" that explicitly prohibit such activity, in hopes of garnering media attention through activist arrests. TheResistanceManifesto.com, run by one "John Conner" (presumably self-styled after The Terminator's hero), denounces World Trade Center as "the biggest 9/11 whitewash in history." Asks Conner: "Was Stone used by the Illuminati as an unknowing pawn to whitewash the 9/11 conspiracy theories to the masses?" When lefty news aggregator the Raw Story posted a release linking to Slesinger and Conner, it drew so many readers that Conner's site temporarily crashed from bandwidth overload.
Another site, PrisonPlanet.com, argues that advance clips from World Trade Center seem to include the sounds of bombs going off in the buildings. "Only when Oliver Stone's movie is rolled out nationwide," PrisonPlanet writes, "will we be able to comb through it for more proof that Stone is clued in to the 9/11 truth movement and the complete fraud of the government fairy tale."
Thanks to this active online community, 9-11 Truth seekers don't need Stone to see their theories propounded in cinematic form. In the half-decade since 2001, as a loose congeries of varied political fringe groups and conspiracy hounds melded with a newly radicalized crop of Bush-burnt Americans to form a growing network of like-minded skeptics, the movement has fostered a robust filmmaking subculture of its own. Nearly 20 feature-length videos have been circulating through its ranks, first on DVD, more recently for free through video services like Google and YouTube. Directors have become important figures within the movement.
And the audience is out there—more than you might think. An oft quoted May 2006 Zogby poll found that 42 percent of Americans believed that "there has been a cover-up" about 9-11 on the part of the government and the 9-11 Commission.
With forthright titles like The Truth & Lies of 911, The Great Conspiracy, and September 11th the Con, the Conspiracy, the Cover-Up, these home-brewed affairs play like the audiovisual descendants of old self-published conspiracy books: cheaply made, but spiced with highly idiosyncratic, lurid aesthetics. Their world-historical urgency is often endearingly undercut by an ill-lit, room-toned cable-access vibe, or the pasteboard rented-studio stiffness of a late-night infomercial. Their raison d'être, without exception, is the presentation of "evidence" that key parts of the standard narrative just don't "add up."
The litany of examples changes, but is drawn from a common pool: The twin towers and nearby WTC 7 could only have fallen the way they did from a controlled demolition, key video messages from Osama bin Laden appear to portray a bin Laden impostor, no footage exists of a plane hitting the Pentagon, and so on. The conclusion, always, is that 9-11 was an "inside job." Though the skeptics don't agree on the perpetrators, most point to the Bush administration and neocon high-ups, and nobody seems to think Al Qaeda acted alone. On first viewing, some movies can be powerfully effective. For viewers already distrustful of Bush, they function as epistemological horror films, evoking fears that the state of the world may be even worse than it already is, due not to apparent hubris, negligence, and ineptitude, but rather a thrillingly brilliant cabal of evil elites: the perfect movie villains, and the inverse of the neocons' own terrorist demons.
A few conspiracy films include original interviews with witnesses (or more often, an echo chamber of fellow skeptics). The bulk of footage consists of the analysis of media artifacts found online: website pages of "buried" news stories, animated diagrams, tinny compressed video clips, and neo–Ken Burnsian digital zooms into pixelated photos. In this respect, these Truth movies feel like the birth of a documentary form uniquely native to the online culture: the DIY results of hours upon hours of Googling, blogging, and Photoshopping.
The most shoestring works, like Eric Hufschmid's Painful Deceptions, could barely be called movies, operating merely as multimedia slide shows with theorizing voiceover. [Hufschmid's sister, supermodel actress Sarah O'Hare, is married to Lachlan Murdoch, the son of multi-billionaire Sir Rupert Murdock Jewish Knight of the British Empire who is a citizen of Australia who owns Fox News, is married to Communist Chinese citizen Wendi "Ho" Deng, and they live in Bejing, the capital of Communist China. Hufschnmid's book Painful Questions is still the most professional book about 9/11.] Others, like BYU physicist Dr Steven Jones's 9-11: Scientific and Ethical Questions, are little more than videotaped live PowerPoint presentations (though Jones's soft-spoken Midwestern timbre adds surprisingly powerful drama). The most extreme example of this info- centrism is 911 Stranger Then [sic] Fiction, in which a computer-generated voice reads scrolling text for two hours, occasionally interspersed with a flash of something grabbed from Google's image search. It's so sparsely experimental that one might mistake it for a work of video art. That is, until it begins railing against the "Zionist mafia"-—another unfortunate tendency of the genre.
Other directors have begun to uplift Truthie cinema. Austin, Texas, talk- radio host Alex Jones [heard on WBCR 1470am in Alcoa, Tennessee] has pumped out a string of slicker productions, including Martial Law 9-11: Rise of the Police State, 911: The Road to Tyranny, and Police State III: Total Enslavement, in addition to earlier pre–9-11 videos about other conspiracies. A strident opponent of the "New World Order," Jones cuts a more Michael Moore–esque figure, inserting footage of himself "bullhorning" at protests, interviewing bystanders, and being subsequently harassed by police—and in his recent TerrorStorm, briefly confronts Moore himself. Jones's preacherly theatrics have helped him rack up a few Hollywood connections. Charlie Sheen is an outspoken fan, and Jones has contributed animated cameos in Richard Linklater's films Waking Life and A Scanner Darkly.
22-year-old director Dylan Avery of Oneonta, New York, has emerged as the hot young star of the skeptic set with his 2005 'tude-filled feature Loose Change. Avery claims in a recent Vanity Fair profile that he's received over 50,000 orders for the Loose Change DVD and over 10 million viewings online, and says he's in talks with a number of studios to release an updated cut of the film on September 11, 2006. His name frequently pops up in Technorati's daily list of most searched-for keywords, and his MySpace profile boasts over 3,500 friends. By mainstream media standards, Loose Change remains ultra–low budget, but with Avery's casual, no-nonsense voiceover, tight editing, and hip-hop DJ'd score, it's by far the most accomplished and accessible example of 9-11 Truth cinema, though not free of the questionable fact-sourcing practiced by its peers (most egregious: "According to Wikipedia . . . ").
In true Internet fashion, Loose Change has even spawned a counter-video. Mark Iradian's Screw Loose Change takes on "911 deniers" by subtitling a running commentary over Avery's video, parrying and mocking his arguments as they unfold. William Lewis and Dave von Kleist's woefully titled 911 in Plane Site also generated a critique, Not in Plain Sight. In this case, the attack comes from within the movement: Not in Plain Sight's anonymous author claims that In Plane Site is so full of errors that it must be intentional disinformation created to mislead and discredit the movement. (Not in Plain Sight also includes the most wonderfully bizarre music of any of these works: looping, whoomping synth blurts that resemble discarded takes from the 1980 Flash Gordon soundtrack.)
Despite these limits, the 9-11 conspiracy docs will surely inspire further imitation, and their wiki-style muckraking is bound to dig up something important during an administration addicted to data-fudging and cover-ups. In a world that increasingly seems all fringe and no center, other radical and niche ideologies will undoubtedly embrace the no-holds-barred, blog-friendly, direct-to-YouTube format. With any luck, we'll see a whole new batch three years from now, made by embittered, paranoid conservatives who have been voted out of power.
VANITY FAIR - With $6,000 and a laptop computer, three kids from upstate New York made a documentary about 9/11 that spread across the Internet and threw millions for a loop
Nine-eleven conspiracy theories have been circulating for years, producing millions of Web links, scores of books, and a nationwide collection of doubters known as the "9/11 Truth" movement.
In 2005 the State Department responded by posting some "clues" to "identifying misinformation" on their Web site. "Does the story claim that vast, powerful, evil forces are secretly manipulating events?" it asks. "If so, this fits the profile of a conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theories are rarely true, even though they have great appeal and are often widely believed. In reality, events usually have much less exciting explanations."
One of the first American officials to publicly acknowledge conspiracy theories in connection with 9/11 was President George Bush, who on November 10, 2001, in a speech to the General Assembly of the United Nations, said, "Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September 11."
Yet according to a May 2006 Zogby poll, 42 percent of Americans now believe that the U.S. government and the 9/11 commission "concealed or refused to investigate critical evidence that contradicts their official explanation of the September 11th attacks," and that "there has been a cover-up."
For those who can't find information about the alleged cover-up on the nightly news, there is Loose Change, a documentary about 9/11 conspiracy theories which just might be the first Internet blockbuster. Since it appeared on the Web in April 2005, the 80-minute film has been climbing up and down Google Video's "Top 100," rising to No. 1 this May, with at least 10 million viewings.
"We beat the woman getting punched in the face," says its director, 22-year-old Dylan Avery, from Oneonta, New York (population 13,000), referring to an oft watched video.
"We beat the guy who beats his computer with his keyboard," says his producer, 23-year-old Korey Rowe, also from Oneonta and an army specialist who served in Afghanistan and Iraq.
"We beat the [Stephen] Colbert speech," says Jason Bermas, 26, their researcher. "The viral videos, we dominate them."
Told in MTV-style jump cuts, illustrated by high-end graphics, and scored with hip music written by a few of their friends, Loose Change is an investigation into the official story of 9/11 as told by The 9/11 Commission Report, asking a number of highly controversial questions:
What, for example, were the explosions some witnesses heard after the towers were hit by planes? Why was the site of the collapse not treated as a crime scene, and why was the debris shipped off as waste to several foreign countries?
Why were the black boxes from American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 never found, when the passport of one of Flight 11's alleged hijackers, Satam Al Suqami, turned up unscathed a few blocks from the World Trade Center?
How did American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon, disappear into a 20-foot hole, leaving no trace of its 124-foot wingspan on the building? And what's with all the forewarnings that the government ignored?
For the past three months, 20,000 people a day have been clicking on to the official Loose Change Web site, loosechange911.com; more than 50,000 have placed orders for the DVD since its release. ("But we're not really making any money," says Rowe, "because we gave away like 100,000 copies for free.") Millions more have been downloading the film from a growing number of unaffiliated sites.
It's safe to say that, if it were a theatrical release, Loose Change would be one of the most popular—and incendiary—movies in the country right now. Avery and Rowe say they are talking to several major movie studios about releasing a third and "final cut" of the film on September 11, 2006. They wonder if the government may be watching, too. "I hope so," says Avery.
In the opening credits of Loose Change, we hear Mick O'Regan, a host on Australian radio, asking the late Hunter S. Thompson, in a 2002 interview, "How would you rate the American media in their coverage of the events of the attack last September?"
"Well let's see, uh, 'shamefully' is a word that comes to mind," says the father of gonzo journalism. "I've spent enough time, well, on the inside of the White House and political campaigns, and I've known enough of the people who do these things, to know that the public version of the news or whatever event is never really what happened."
Most of what we see on-screen during Loose Change are actually news reports from mainstream-media outlets like CBS News, Newsweek, CNN, the Associated Press, even Fox News—the "loose change" which Avery adds up into a conspiracy theory. "Some people accuse me of like, Oh, you're taking quotes out of context," he says. "I'm giving you the article and the date. Go look it up yourself."
Loose Change runs clips from almost every major TV news organization on that horrible day, wherein we see footage of people escaping the towers, firemen, and reporters who talk of hearing explosions after the planes hit; for some this raises questions of whether there were pre-set bombs going off in the buildings. Here's Bryant Gumbel on CBS: "We understand there has been a secondary explosion on Tower One … "
Freeze-frame images of the towers going down show what some say appear to be demolition "squibs," or horizontal plumes of smoke and debris being ejected during the collapse, also suggesting explosions.
Loose Change also delves into the question of why the United States' elaborate air-defense system failed to thwart the September 11 attacks. The 9/11 Commission Report says "there was no one to blame." The film points to a 20-page instruction from June 1, 2001, issued by the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff which reassigned the authority for aircraft interceptions and shoot-downs to Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
Titled "Aircraft Piracy (Hijacking) and Destruction of Derelict Airborne Objects," the instruction states that henceforth "the NMCC [National Military Command Center] will … forward requests for DOD assistance to the Secretary of Defense for approval." Neither the president nor the vice president is mentioned in the new directive as being part of the chain of command. By military protocol, the authority belonged to Rumsfeld, who later claimed he was "out of the loop."
'Are you sort of suggesting that [9/11] worked in the favor of the Bush administration?," Mick O'Regan asks Hunter S. Thompson in Loose Change.
"Oh, absolutely. Absolutely," Thompson says. "You sort of wonder when something happens like this, well, who stands to benefit? Who had the opportunity and the motive?"
The film's answer to this is the September 2000 report from the Project for the New American Century, a neoconservative think tank whose members include Donald Rumsfeld, Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush, and Paul Wolfowitz. Titled "Rebuilding America's Defenses," it envisions a future of burgeoning defense spending and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. "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," Avery reads from the report in voice-over.
It's a long leap from all this, however, to claiming, "The government did it." There is no conclusive evidence in Loose Change of U.S. government involvement in 9/11. The film relies too heavily on already published reports, some of which have been discredited. For example, the segment on United Flight 93 cites an early story from a Cincinnati ABC News affiliate, WCPO, on the plane's safe landing at a Cleveland airport on the morning of September 11. WCPO later retracted the story.
For the final cut of Loose Change, Avery says, "We're tracking down potential eyewitnesses to the landing of Flight 93 in Cleveland." He also says the third edition of the film will include more on-screen interviews; the first version had only one, with Marcel Bernard, the chief flight instructor at Freeway Airport, in Bowie, Maryland. Bernard recalls that, in early August 2001, Hani Hanjour, one of the alleged hijackers of American Airlines Flight 77, had trouble controlling and landing a single-engine Cessna 172 when he did test runs. "Average or below-average piloting skills," Bernard says.
And yet, according to the official version of events, if Hani Hanjour had been the pilot he would have had to execute a perfect 330-degree turn at 530 miles per hour, descending 7,000 feet in two and a half minutes, in order to crash Flight 77, a Boeing 757, into the Pentagon.
"[Flight 77] could not possibly have flown at those speeds which they said it did without going into a high-speed stall," Russ Wittenburg, a former commercial and air-force pilot, is quoted saying in Loose Change. The film also makes much of the visual similarities between the hole left in the west wing of the Pentagon and damage to buildings done by cruise missiles.
On May 16, the Department of Justice released two Pentagon videotapes of the crash of Flight 77 after a Freedom of Information Act request by Judicial Watch, a conservative government watchdog. "Finally, we hope that this video will put to rest the conspiracy theories involving American Airlines Flight 77," said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. The video "shows the nose cone of the plane clearly entering the picture," said Fox News.
Vanity Fair published the USAF NORAD radio air traffic control tapes from 9/11, proving the Bush white House illegally ordered the US military to stand down on 9/11/2001. Pentagon's video.
TIME Magazine coverstory - Turns out, we need grand theories to make sense of grand events, or the world just seems too random.
Take a look, if you can stand it, at video footage of the World Trade Center collapsing. Your eye will naturally jump to the top of the screen, where huge fountains of dark debris erupt out of the falling towers. But fight your natural instincts. Look farther down, at the stories that haven't collapsed yet.
In almost every clip you'll see little puffs of dust spurting out from the sides of the towers. There are two competing explanations for these puffs of dust: 1) the force of the collapsing upper floors raised the air pressure in the lower ones so dramatically that it actually blew out the windows. And 2) the towers did not collapse from the impact of two Boeing 767s and the ensuing fires. They were destroyed in a planned, controlled demolition. The dust puffs you see on film are the detonations of explosives planted there before the attacks.
People who believe the second explanation live in a very different world from those who believe the first. In world No. 2, al-Qaeda is not responsible for the destruction of the World Trade Center. The U.S. government is. The Pentagon was not hit by a commercial jet; it was hit by a cruise missile. United Flight 93 did not crash after its occupants rushed the cockpit; it was deliberately taken down by a U.S. Air Force fighter. The entire catastrophe was planned and executed by federal officials in order to provide the U.S. with a pretext for going to war in the Middle East and, by extension, as a means of consolidating and extending the power of the Bush Administration.
The population of world No. 2 is larger than you might think. A Scripps-Howard poll of 1,010 adults last month found that 36% of Americans consider it "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that government officials either allowed the attacks to be carried out or carried out the attacks themselves. Thirty-six percent adds up to a lot of people. This is not a fringe phenomenon. It is a mainstream political reality.
Although the 9/11 Truth Movement, as many conspiracy believers refer to their passion, has been largely ignored by the mainstream media, it is flourishing on the Internet. One of the most popular conspiracy videos online is Loose Change, a 90-min. blizzard of statistics, photographs, documents, eyewitness accounts and expert testimony set to a trippy hip-hop backbeat. It's designed to pick apart, point by point, the conventional narrative of what happened on Sept. 11, 2001.
For all its amateur production values--it was created by a pair of industrious twentysomethings using a laptop, pizza money and footage scavenged from the Internet--Loose Change is a compelling experience. Take the section about the attack on the Pentagon. As the film points out--and this is a tent-pole issue among 9/11 conspiracists--the crash site doesn't look right. There's not enough damage. The hole smashed in the Pentagon's outer wall was 75 ft. wide, but a Boeing 757 has a 124-ft. wingspan. Why wasn't the hole wider? Why does it look so neat?
Experts will tell you that the hole was punched by the plane's fuselage, not its wings, which sheared off on impact. But then what happened to the wings? And the tail and the engines? Images of the crash site show hardly any of the wreckage you would expect from a building that's been rammed by a commercial jet. The lawn, where the plane supposedly dragged a wing on approach, is practically pristine. The plane supposedly clipped five lampposts on its way in, but the lampposts in question show surprisingly little damage. And could Hani Hanjour, the man supposedly at the controls, have executed the maneuvers that the plane performed? He failed a flight test just weeks before the attack. And Pentagon employees reported smelling cordite after the hit, the kind of high explosive a cruise missile carries.
There's something empowering about just exploring such questions. Loose Change appeals to the viewer's common sense: it tells you to forget the official explanations and the expert testimony, and trust your eyes and your brain instead. It implies that the world can be grasped by laymen without any help or interference from the talking heads. Watching Loose Change, you feel as if you are participating in the great American tradition of self-reliance and nonconformist, antiauthoritarian dissent. You're fighting the power. You're thinking different. (Conspiracists call people who follow the government line "sheeple.") "The goal of the movie was just really to get out there and show that there are alternate stories to what the mainstream media and the government will tell you," says Korey Rowe, 23, who produced the movie. "That 19 hijackers are going to completely bypass security and crash four commercial airliners in a span of two hours, with no interruption from the military forces, in the most guarded airspace in the United States and the world? That to me is a conspiracy theory."
It's also not much of a story line. As a narrative, the official story that the government--echoed by the media--is trying to sell shows an almost embarrassing lack of novelistic flair, whereas the story the conspiracy theorists tell about what happened on Sept. 11 is positively Dan Brownesque in its rich, exciting complexity. Rowe and his collaborator, Dylan Avery, 22, actually started writing Loose Change as a fictional screenplay--"loosely based around us discovering that 9/11 was an inside job," Rowe says--before they became convinced that the evidence of conspiracy was overwhelming. The Administration is certainly playing its part in the drama with admirable zeal. If we went to war to root out fictional weapons of mass destruction, is staging a fictional terrorist attack such a stretch?
But there's a big problem with Loose Change and with most other conspiracy theories. The more you think about them, the more you realize how much they depend on circumstantial evidence, facts without analysis or documentation, quotes taken out of context and the scattered testimony of traumatized eyewitnesses. (For what it's worth, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has published a fact sheet responding to some of the conspiracy theorists' ideas on its website, www.nist.gov. The theories prompt small, reasonable questions that demand answers that are just too large and unreasonable to swallow. Granted, the Pentagon crash site looks odd in photographs. But if the Pentagon was hit by a cruise missile, then what happened to American Airlines Flight 77? Where did all the real, documented people on it go? Assassinated? Relocated? What about eyewitnesses who saw a plane, not a missile? And what are the chances that an operation of such size--it would surely have involved hundreds of military and civilian personnel--could be carried out without a single leak? Without leaving behind a single piece of evidence hard enough to stand up to scrutiny in a court? People, the feds just aren't that slick. Nobody is.
There are psychological explanations for why conspiracy theories are so seductive. Academics who study them argue that they meet a basic human need: to have the magnitude of any given effect be balanced by the magnitude of the cause behind it. A world in which tiny causes can have huge consequences feels scary and unreliable. Therefore a grand disaster like Sept. 11 needs a grand conspiracy behind it. "We tend to associate major events--a President or princess dying--with major causes," says Patrick Leman, a lecturer in psychology at Royal Holloway University of London, who has conducted studies on conspiracy belief. "If we think big events like a President being assassinated can happen at the hands of a minor individual, that points to the unpredictability and randomness of life and unsettles us." In that sense, the idea that there is a malevolent controlling force orchestrating global events is, in a perverse way, comforting.
You would have thought the age of conspiracy theories might have declined with the rise of digital media. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy was a private, intimate affair compared with the attack on the World Trade Center, which was witnessed by millions of bystanders and television viewers and documented by hundreds of Zapruders. You would think there was enough footage and enough forensics to get us past the grassy knoll and the magic bullet, to create a consensus reality, a single version of the truth, a single world we can all live in together.
But there is no event so plain and clear that a determined human being can't find ambiguity in it. And as divisive as they are, conspiracy theories are part of the process by which Americans deal with traumatic public events like Sept. 11. Conspiracy theories form around them like scar tissue. In a curious way, they're an American form of national mourning. They'll be with us as long as we fear lone gunmen, and feel the pain of losses like the one we suffered on Sept. 11, and as long as the past, even the immediate past, is ultimately unknowable. That is to say, forever.
Note by PNTV - TIME magazine published forged photographs from the Zapruder film of the assassination coup d'etat of President JFK Sr, and locked the Zapruder film in its vault to censor the facts from the public, until Judge Jim Garrison subpoenaed it during his prosecution of CIA agent Clay Shaw. Jew Oliver Stone's 2 documentaries about JFK showed the Zapruder film, which proves Kennedy was shot from the front not the back, and forced Congress to declassify 2-million pages of JFK files, including CIA's and Pentagon's Operation NORTHWOODS in 2000, which included US Govt hijacking US airliners in USA and bombing them by remote control. NORTHWOODS included Operation MONGOOSE, which was discussed in both of Stone's documentaries on the murder of JFK by the US Govt. Note that TIME censored Operation NORTHWOODS from its gullible readers. Government prosecutors and judges use circumstantial evidence every day to arrest and convict millions of US citizens. Even the federal and state RICO Acts specifically name GOVERNMENTAL criminals in its legislation to prosecute organized crime and racketeering.

JFK Doodle Predicted "9-11 Conspiracy" - President Kennedy, known for separating his life into compartments, would enclose words and numbers inside circles and boxes. Events long after his death give one doodle an unintended chill: A small circle with the numbers "9-11" contained within. Just to the lower left on the page, the word "conspiracy" is underlined. The doodle is part of a new book, Presidential Doodles, which analyses the jottings of eight commanders in chief.
But Oliver Stone's WTC movie does show prepositioned bombs exploding throughout the WTC, and does show the controlled explosive demolition of WTC7.
Some Internet sites say Oliver Stone's 'WTC' fails to address what really happened on 9/11.
LOS ANGELES TIMES - Memo to Oliver Stone: Conspiracy theorists have a bone to pick with you.
The filmmaker's latest release, "World Trade Center," does not engage in any of the cloak-and-dagger mumblings that have made the rounds, particularly on the Internet, in the wake of the 9/11 tragedy. All this has conspiracy theorists very disappointed. They figured if anyone would be willing to — as they see it — challenge the "official" version of events, it would be Mr. "JFK" himself.
"Oliver Stone, having done 'Nixon' and 'JFK' and other movies that have been quite revealing, had a chance to use his power to ask a few very damning questions," said Prisonplanet.com radio show host Jack Blood, who is urging a boycott of the film. "Instead, what we have is an establishment movie that certainly condones and endorses the cover story that was given to us by the government on 9/11."
Stone has a simple answer: He wanted to tell the story of two Port Authority officers who tried to save lives that day but ended up fighting for their own. Politics wasn't involved.
Alex Jones, who has an Internet radio show on Infowars.com and Prisonplanet.com, said he doesn't fault Stone for making a movie that honors the heroes of 9/11. "He is allowed to make a movie about this microcosm that was such a big part of 9/11," said Jones. "We know that the police and firefighters were heroes, and I agree with that. But there is concern in the 9/11 truth community that the movie will be used to bolster the official story."
To be sure, there are plenty of alternate views on the events of 9/11.
Some believe the CIA was in on the attacks. Others wonder if bombs had been planted inside the towers. Still others think the U.S. government knew the attacks were coming but chose not to act. In March, actor Charlie Sheen said in an interview with Jones that he too questions the "official 9/11 story."
"It seems to me like 19 amateurs with box cutters taking over four commercial airliners and hitting 75% of their targets, that feels like a conspiracy theory. It raises a lot of questions." Sheen added: "There was a feeling, it just didn't look like any commercial jetliner I've flown on anytime in my life, and then when the buildings came down later on that day, I said to my brother, 'Call me insane, but did it sort of look like those buildings came down in a controlled demolition'?"
Sheen also told Jones he wanted an independent investigation of the events leading up to 9/11. "It is up to us to reveal the truth. It is up to us because we owe it to the families; we owe it to the victims. We owe it to everybody's life who was drastically altered horrifically that day and forever. We owe it to them to uncover what happened."
Now with Stone in the mix, there's even more intrigue. Some theorists theorize: Maybe the director himself is part of the 9/11 plot.
"Was Stone used by the Illuminati as an unknowing pawn to whitewash the 9/11 conspiracy theories to the masses?" wondered blogger John Conner. "Was he approached with the project and coerced into a commitment to occupy his time in attempts to thwart any other 9/11 angle from being used? Is Stone a pawn in the game? Perhaps Stone didn't know at the time, and found out too late. Perhaps production had begun, and he was already on board when he found the 9/11 rabbit hole."
The questions just add fodder to the debate.
"At some point you will see a Hollywood film that looks at alternative views of the official 9/11 story," said Jones. "It's just who's got the courage to do it."
CHICAGO SUN TIMES - Professor Kevin Barrett believes the U.S government might have destroyed the World Trade Center. Professor Steven Jones is researching what he calls evidence that the twin towers were brought down by explosives detonated inside them, not by hijacked airliners.
These men aren't uneducated junk scientists: Barrett will teach a class on Islam at the University of Wisconsin this fall, over the protests of more than 60 state legislators. Jones is a tenured physicist at Brigham Young University whose job has made him a hero to conspiracy theorists.
'Things are happening'
Five years after the terrorist attacks, a community that believes widely discredited ideas about what happened on Sept. 11 thrives. Members trade their ideas on the Internet and in self-published papers and in books. About 500 of them attended a recent conference in Chicago.
The movement claims to be drawing credibility from a recently formed group called Scholars for 9/11 Truth.
The organization says publicity over Barrett's case has helped boost membership to about 75 academics. They are a tiny minority of the 1 million faculty nationwide, and some have no university affiliation. But some are well educated, with degrees from elite universities and jobs at schools including Rice, Indiana and the University of Texas.
''Things are happening,'' said co-founder James Fetzer, a philosophy professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth, who maintains, among other claims, that some of the hijackers are still alive. ''We're going to continue to do this. Our role is to establish what really happened on 9/11.''
Many mainstream scientists won't debate conspiracy theorists, saying they don't want to lend them unwarranted credibility. But some worry the academic background of the group could do that anyway.
'Scientist with an ax to grind'
Members of the conspiracy community ''practically worship the ground [Jones] walks on because he's seen as a scientist who is preaching to their side,'' said F.R. Greening, a Canadian chemist who has written papers rebutting the science used by Sept. 11 conspiracy theorists. ''It's science, but it's politically motivated. It's science with an ax to grind, and therefore it's not really science.''
Members of the group believe the government's investigation was inadequate, and they say that questioning widely held assumptions has been part of the job of scholars for centuries. ''Tenure gives you a secure position where you can engage in controversial issues,'' Fetzer said. ''That's what you should be doing.''
But when asked what did happen, members often step outside the data-based culture of the academy and defer to their own instincts.
Daniel Orr, a retired economics chairman at the University of Illinois, said he knew instantly from watching the towers fall that they had been blown apart by explosives. He was reminded of watching an old housing project being destroyed in St. Louis.
David Gabbard, an East Carolina education professor, acknowledges this isn't his field, but says ''I'm smart enough to know that fire from airplanes can't melt steel.''
The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)'s publishing arm has released a book that says President Bush organized New York's Sept. 11 attacks.
The decision by the 160-year-old Westminster John Knox Press, the trade and academic publishing imprint of the Presbyterian Publishing Corp., to attribute the attacks on the World Trade Center brings into the U.S. religious mainstream a conspiracy theory long held by the world's jihadists.
In 'Christian Faith and the Truth behind 9/11: A Call to Reflection and Action,' author David Ray Griffin calls the United States the world's 'chief embodiment of demonic power, says he initially scoffed at 9/11 conspiracy theories.
But after investigating he concluded that the Twin Towers were brought down by controlled demolition, military personnel were given stand-down orders not to intercept hijacked flights and the 9/11 Commission, ostensibly created to uncover the truth behind the events of 9/11, 'simply ignored evidence' that the administration was involved in the attacks.
Griffin further asserts that such events such as that of 9/11 are part of a long history of 'false-flag attacks,' attacks orchestrated by governments against their own people to garner popular support for military action.
Griffin is a professor at California's Claremont School of Theology and Claremont Graduate University, and a codirector of the Center for Process Studies.
I was in China when a July Harris Poll reported that 50 percent of Americans still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when Bush invaded that country, and that 64 percent of Americans still believe that Saddam Hussein had strong links with Al Qaeda.
The Chinese leaders and intellectuals with whom I was meeting were incredulous. How could a majority of the population in an allegedly free country with an allegedly free press be so totally misinformed?
The only answer I could give the Chinese is that Americans would have been the perfect population for Mao and the Gang of Four, because Americans believe anything their government tells them.
Americans never check any facts. Who do you know, for example, who has even read the Report of the 9/11 Commission, much less checked the alleged facts reported in that document. I can answer for you. You don’t know anyone who has read the report or checked the facts.
The two co-chairmen of the 9/11 Commission Report, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, have just released a new book, “Without Precedent: The Inside Story of the 9/11 Commission.” Kean and Hamilton reveal that the commission suppressed the fact that Muslim ire toward the US is due to US support for Israel’s persecution and dispossession of the Palestinians, not to our “freedom and democracy” as Bush propagandistically claims. Kean and Hamilton also reveal that the US military committed perjury and lied about its failure to intercept the hijacked airliners. The commission even debated referring the military’s lies to the Justice Department for criminal investigation. (But the Pentagon's version was proven true by the NORAD audiotapes declassified as rebuttal to the 911 Commission lies, proving the White House stand down order, despite pleas by the military to shoot down the aircraft.) Why should we assume that these admissions are the only coverups and lies in the 9/11 Commission Report?
How do you know that 9/11 was a Muslim terrorist plot? How do you know that three World Trade Center buildings collapsed because two were hit by airliners? You only “know” because the government gave you the explanation of what you saw on TV. (Did you even know that three WTC buildings collapsed?)
I still remember the enlightenment I experienced as a student in Russian Studies when I learned that the Czarist secret police would set off bombs and then blame those whom they wanted to arrest..
When Hitler seized dictatorial power in 1933, he told the Germans that his new powers were made necessary by a communist terrorist attack on the Reichstag. When Hitler started World War II by invading Poland, he told the Germans that Poland had crossed the frontier and attacked Germany. (Just like the Reichstag arson of the German Congress, in Operations Himmler and Cannded Goods, Nazi Germany attacked itself and blamed Poland, to start World War 2. These self inflicted terrorist attacks were confessed during the Nurenberg trials and resulted in death sentences for all top German politicians who failed to suicide themselves and their families.)
Governments lie all the time--especially governments staffed by neoconservatives whose intellectual godfather, Leo Strauss, taught them that it is permissible to deceive the public in order to achieve their agenda.
Some readers will write to me to say that they saw a TV documentary or read a magazine article verifying the government’s explanation of 9/11. But, of course, these Americans did not check the facts either - and neither did the people who made the documentary and wrote the magazine article.
Scientists and engineers, such as Clemson University Professor of Engineering Dr. Judy Woods and BYU Professor of Physics Dr. Steven Jones, have raised compelling questions about the official account of the collapse of the three WTC buildings. The basic problem for the government's account is that the buildings are known to have fallen at free fall speed, a fact that is inconsistent with the government's "pancaking" theory in which debris from above collapsed the floors below. If the buildings actually "pancaked," then each floor below would have offered resistance to the floors above, and the elapsed time would have been much longer. These experts have also calculated that the buildings did not have sufficient gravitational energy to accommodate the government's theory of the collapse. It is certainly a known and non-controversial fact among physicists and engineers that the only way buildings can collapse at free fall speed into their own footprints is by engineered demolition. Explosives are used to remove the support of floors below before the debris from above arrives. Otherwise, resistance is encountered and the time required for fall increases. Engineered demolition also explains the symmetrical collapse of the buildings into their own foot prints. As it is otherwise improbable for every point in floors below to weaken uniformly, "pancaking" would result in asymmetrical collapse as some elements of the floor would give sooner than others.
Scientific evidence is a tough thing for the American public to handle, and the government knows it. The government can rely on people dismissing things that they cannot understand as "conspiracy theory." But if you are inclined to try to make up your own mind, you can find Dr. Jones' and Dr. Woods’ papers, which have been formally presented to their peers at scientific meetings, on line at ST911.org.
Experts have also pointed out that the buildings' massive steel skeletons comprised a massive heat sink that wicked away the heat from the limited, short-lived fires, thus preventing a heat buildup. Experts also point out that the short-lived, scattered, low-intensity fires could barely reach half the melting point of steel even if they burned all day instead of merely an hour.
Don't ask me to tell you what happened on 9/11. All I know is that the official account of the buildings' collapse is improbable.
Now we are being told another improbable tale. Muslim terrorists in London and Pakistan were caught plotting to commit mass murder by smuggling bottles of explosive liquids on board airliners in hand luggage. Baby formula, shampoo and water bottles allegedly contained the tools of suicide bombers.
How do we know about this plot? Well, the police learned it from an “Islamic militant arrested near the Afghan-Pakistan border several weeks ago.” And how did someone so far away know what British-born people in London were plotting? (Dozens of British citizens were arrested without charges, without evidence, without bombs, without plane tickets, without passports, without confessions, while 1,000s of airport screeners in USA are illegal aliens. 10,000 illegal aliens invade the wide open US border every day, while US Govt gives those criminal terrorists an unlimited supply of free liquids to help them invade USA and wage Civil War to violently overthrow the US and state governments.)
Do you really believe that Western and Israeli intelligence services, which were too incompetent to prevent the 9/11 attack, can uncover a London plot by capturing a person on the Afghan border in Pakistan? Why would “an Islamic militant” rat on such a plot even if he knew of it?
More probable explanations of the “plot” are readily available. According to the August 11 Wayne Madsen Report, informed sources in the UK report that “the Tony Blair government, under siege by a Labor Party revolt, cleverly cooked up a new ‘terror’ scare to avert the public’s eyes away from Blair’s increasing political woes. British law enforcement, neocon and intelligence operatives in the US, Israel, and Britain, and Rupert Murdoch’s global media empire cooked up the terrorist plot, liberally borrowing from the failed 1995 ‘Oplan Bjinka’ plot by Pakistan- and Philippines-based terrorist Ramzi Ahmad Yousef to crash 11 trans-Pacific airliners bound from Asia to the US.”
There are other plausible explanations. For example, our puppet in Pakistan decided to arrest some people who were a threat to him. With Bush’s commitment to “building democracy in the Middle East,” our puppet can’t arrest his political enemies without cause, so he lays the blame on a plot.
Any testimony against Muslim plotters by “an Islamic militant” is certain to have been bought and paid for.
Or consider this explanation. Under the Nuremberg standard, Bush and Blair are war criminals. Bush is so worried that he will be held accountable that he has sent his attorney general to consult with the Republican Congress to work out legislation to protect Bush retroactively from his violations of the Geneva Conventions.
Tony Blair is in more danger of finding himself in the dock. Britain is signatory to a treaty that, if justice is done, will place Blair before the International Criminal Court in the Hague.
What better justification for the two war criminals’ illegal actions than the need to foil dastardly plots by Muslims recruited in sting operations by Western intelligence services? The more Bush and Blair can convince their publics that terrorist danger abounds, the less likely Bush and Blair are ever to be held accountable for their crimes.
But surely, some readers might object, our great moral leaders wouldn’t do something political like that!
They most certainly would. As Joshua Micah Marshall wrote in the July 7 issue of Time magazine, the suspicion is “quite reasonable” that “the Bush Administration orchestrates its terror alerts and arrests to goose the GOP’s poll numbers.”
Joshua Micah Marshall proves his conclusion by examining the barrage of color-coded terror alerts, none of which were real, and, yes, it all fits with political needs.
And don’t forget the plot unearthed in Miami to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago. Described by Vice President Cheney as a “very real threat,” the plot turned out to be nothing more than a few harmless whackos recruited by an FBI agent sent out to organize a sting.
There was also the “foiled plot” to blow up the Holland Tunnel and flood downtown New York City with sea water. Thinking New Orleans, the FBI invented this plot without realizing that New York City is above sea level. Of course, most Americans didn’t realize it either.
For six years the Bush regime has been able to count on the ignorant and naive American public to believe whatever tale that is told them. American gullibility has yet to fail the Bush regime.
The government has an endless number of conspiracy theories, but only people who question the government’s conspiracies are derided for “having a conspiracy theory.”
The implication is even worse if we assume that the explosive bottle plot is genuine. It means that America and Britain by their own aggression in Iraq and Afghanistan, and by enabling Israel’s war crimes in Palestine and Lebanon, have created such hatred that Muslims, who identify with Bush’s, Blair’s, and Israel’s victims, are plotting retaliation.
But Bush is prepared. He has taught his untutored public that “they hate us for our freedom and democracy.”
Gentle reader, wise up. The entire world is laughing at you.

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS - Father, uncle and cousin surface in new biography.
Mayor Giuliani — a former federal prosecutor who won notice for pursuing the Mafia — had relatives linked to organized crime, including a mobbed-up cousin who was gunned down by FBI agents in 1977, a new book says.
Lewis D'Avanzo, a son of the mayor's uncle and a guest at Giuliani's first wedding in 1968, was a "ruthless and widely feared mob associate" who headed a massive stolen car ring, according to FBI documents and interviews detailed in "Rudy! An Investigative Biography of Rudolph Giuliani," by Village Voice senior editor Wayne Barrett.
Due in stores next week, the book sketches a largely unflattering portrait of the clan, depicting his father, Harold, as a hothead and the "muscle" behind a brother-in-law's loansharking operation, run out of a Brooklyn bar.
Along with cracking heads, it says the mayor's father served time in state prison for a stickup, rarely held an on-the-books job and once was a gunman in a mob shootout in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.
The book never makes clear how much of the family's alleged dark side is known to the mayor, who has talked lovingly of his father, who died in 1981 of prostate cancer — the same disease that the mayor is fighting.
The mayor's spokeswoman, Sunny Mindel, said yesterday that Giuliani "hadn't seen the book and had no comment." On Tuesday, Giuliani defended his father as "a complete man" who taught him the value of honesty, but the mayor refused to address questions about his father's alleged criminal past.
"The details of his life died with him," the mayor said.
And they almost stayed that way.
Barrett said a source told him the elder Giuliani had spent time behind bars, but the author couldn't find city court records documenting it.
Barrett eventually looked in the 1934 state prison archives in Albany and discovered a single sheet — a Sing Sing Prison receiving blotter — that listed Harold Giuliani at the top of the page. On the next line, Barrett found the key to the story: Harold Giuliani's alias, Joseph Starrett.
Barrett then found all the New York court records under the name Starrett. Initial excerpts of the book appeared in Talk magazine and in this week's Voice; another excerpt was released yesterday.
According to the book, Giuliani's cousin Lewis D'Avanzo was known as "Steve the Blond" and listed as armed and dangerous in FBI bulletins. His criminal record included a 10-year federal sentence for the armed hijacking of a truck loaded with $240,000 worth of mercury. The book alleges that he was suspected of taking part in several murders.
D'Avanzo was gunned down by the FBI in October 1977, when he tried to run down an agent after being stopped on a warrant that accused him and two associates of transporting 100 stolen luxury cars.
Quoting an unnamed friend of D'Avanzo, the book describes a 1962 shootout pitting a local mobster against the mayor's father and Leo D'Avanzo, Lewis D'Avanzo's father.
The book says Leo was later sanctioned by mob bosses for shooting at a Mafia member.
Born two years apart, Giuliani and his cousin attended the same elementary and high schools, but Giuliani's father forbade the two from spending much time together. Giuliani met D'Avanzo's wife, Lois, only once — at the mayor's first wedding, to Regina Peruggi, the book says.
The book says Leo D'Avanzo, who was known in family circles as a black sheep, ran loansharking and gambling operations out of a Brooklyn bar where Giuliani's father worked as a bartender.
In his role as debt collector, his father "broke legs, smashed kneecaps, crunched noses," the book says.
Leo D'Avanzo left town after the shootout, and gave the bar to Harold Giuliani, the book said.
Based on interviews with family members, the book also claims that Joan Ellen D'Avanzo, a cousin who at one time lived with Giuliani when he was a youngster, became a drug addict who was beaten to death in 1973 at age 34. Her cause of death was listed as undetermined, but several family members said she was murdered.

London Daily Mirror - Towers that fell 'like a controlled demolition'. Planes that vanished then mysteriously reappeared, and crucial evidence that has been lost for ever.
In the Pentagon, a top secret team drew up a plan to simultaneously send up two airliners painted and numbered exactly the same, one from a civil airport in America, the other from a secret military airbase nearby.
The one from the airport would have military personnel on board who had checked in as ordinary passengers under false names.
The one from the airbase would be an empty drone, a remote-controlled unmanned aircraft.
Somewhere along their joint flight paths, the passenger-carrying plane would drop below radar height, and disappear, landing back at the airbase and unloading its occupants in secret. Meanwhile, the drone would have taken up the other plane's designated course. High over the island of Cuba, it would be exploded in mid-air after broadcasting an international distress call that it was under attack from enemy fighters.
The world would be told that a plane load of blameless American holidaymakers had been deliberately shot down by Fidel Castro's Communists - and that the US had no choice but to declare war and topple his regime.
This Top Secret 'agent provocateur' plan - code named Operation Northwoods and revealed in official archives - dates from 1962 when the Cold War was at its height and was declassified in 2000.
"ABC News - May 1, 2001 - Operation NORTHWOODS may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government. Operation Northwoods had called for nothing less than the launch of a secret campaign of terrorism within the United States in order to blame Castro and provoke a war with Cuba." —James Bamford
"In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba.
Code named Operation NORTHWOODS, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's then new leader, communist Fidel Castro.
America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation."
The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and were presented to President Kennedy's defense secretary, Robert McNamara, in March 1962. But they apparently were rejected by the civilian leadership and have gone undisclosed for nearly 40 years. The Joint Chiefs at the time were headed by Eisenhower appointee Army Gen. Lyman L. Lemnitzer, who, with the signed plans in hand made a pitch to McNamara on March 13, 1962, recommending Operation Northwoods be run by the military.
Whether the Joint Chiefs' plans were rejected by McNamara in the meeting is not clear. But three days later, President Kennedy told Lemnitzer directly there was virtually no possibility of ever using overt force to take Cuba, Bamford reports. Within months, Lemnitzer would be denied another term as chairman and transferred to another job.
Ironically, the documents came to light, says Bamford, in part because of the 1992 Oliver Stone film JFK, which examined the possibility of a conspiracy behind the assassination of President Kennedy. "The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years after," says Bamford."
"We could blow up a drone (unmannded) vessel anywhere in the Cuban waters. The presense of Cuban planes or ships merely investigating the intent of the vessel could be fairly compelling evidence that the ship was taken under attack. The US could follow with an air/sea rescue operation covered by US fighters to "evacuate" remaining members of the non-existant crew.
Casualty lists in US newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation.
We could develop a Communist Cuba terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Flordia cities and even in Washington. The terror campaign could be pointed at Cuban refugees seeking haven in the United States.
Use of MIG-type aircraft by US pilots could provide additional provocation. Harassment of civil air, attacks on surface shipping, and destruction of US military drone aircraft by MIG type palnes would be useful. An F-86 properly painted would convince air passengers that they saw a Cuban MIG, especially if the pilot of the transport were to announce that fact. Hijacking attampts against US civil air and surface craft should be encouraged. It is possible to create an incident which would demonstrate convincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot down a chartered civilian airliner from the United States.
An aircraft at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a civil registered aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary organization in the Miami area. At a designated time the duplicate would be subsituted for the actual civil aircraft and the passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases.
The actual registered aircraft would be converted to a drone.
Take off times of the drone aircraft and the actual aircraft will be scheduled to allow a rondevous. From the rondevous point the passenger-carrying aircraft will descend to minimum altitude and go directly to an auxiliary airfield at Eglin AFB where arrangements will have been made to evacuate the passengers and return the aircraft to its original status.
Meanwhile the drone aircraft will continue to fly the filed flight plan. The drone will be transmitting on the international distress frequency "MAY DAY" message stating it is under attack by Cuban MIG aircraft. The transmission will be interrupted by the destruction of aircraft which will be triggered by radio signal. This will allow IACO radio stations to tell the US what has happened to the aircraft instead of the US trying to "sell" the incident.
It is possible to create an incident that will make it appear that Communist Cuban MIGs have destroyed a USAF aircraft over international waters in an unprovoked attack. On one such flight, a pre-briefed pilot would fly Tail-end Charlie. While near the Cuban island this pilot would broadcast that he had been jumped by MIGs and was going down. This pilot would then fly at extremely low altitude and land at a secure base, an Eglin auxiliary.
The aircraft would be met by the proper people, quickly stored and given a new tail number. The pilot who performed the mission under an alias would resume his proper identity. The pilot and aircraft would then have disappeared.
A submarine or small craft would distribute F-101 parts, parachute, etc. The pilots retuning to Homestead would have a true story as far as they knew. Search ships and aircraft could be dispatched and parts of aircraft found."

BOSTON GLOBE - Nearly 5 years later, lawsuits are stalled.
In the aftermath of Sept. 11, 2001, a tiny percentage of people who lost loved ones or were injured in the attacks sued the aviation industry, spurning a federal compensation fund that ultimately distributed more than $7 billion to more than 5,500 victims.
Now, nearly five years after the historic disaster, roughly 60 lawsuits are still grinding their way through court. And the families pushing ahead with litigation, including numerous New Englanders, are mired in a massive legal case that has become a complicated behemoth for the federal judge overseeing it.
``I've never been in any litigation more frustrating than this," said Frank H. Granito, Jr., a New York lawyer who represents the family of an American Flight 11 passenger and several insurance companies in the matter.
The case pits those who consider the day's events an unpreventable tragedy against others who believe government and aviation officials ignored clear warnings that such an assault was possible. That lapse, in their view, led to the deaths of beloved friends and relatives, and they now want accountability and answers.
For some litigants, their decision to sue was met by public disapproval from skeptics who questioned their motives and dismissed their quest for justice as futile. But in interviews with the Globe, many family members said they are committed to pursuing the case until government, airline, and security officials are held responsible for their roles in the attacks. And they are aware that litigation is a gamble that could produce neither answers nor money, they said.
The New York-based case has been slowed by the federal government's sweeping refusal to release materials on aviation security, outraging lawyers for both sides. It has also been stalled by the South Carolina law firm Motley Rice, which made billions suing the tobacco industry and represents 53 victims in the case, or nearly 60 percent of all plaintiffs. Its clients include the families of Flight 11 pilot Captain John Ogonowski of Dracut, crew member Madeline Sweeney of Acton, Rhode Island native David Angell, creator of the sitcom ``Frasier," and many high-earning New England executives.
``Right now we have it under a magnifying glass, and it's impossible to really determine whether what Motley Rice is doing is a good or a bad thing," said Margaret Ogonowski, a mother of three who was widowed in the attacks, adding that she feels ``well treated by the firm."
``Motley is driving a new course," she said, ``and we have to step back and examine it when it's all finished to make a better determination as to whether they did a good job or maybe they botched it."
While other lawyers have resolved most or all of their cases -- at least 32 of the roughly 90 total lawsuits have settled -- Motley Rice has settled only three. Of the cases left to settle, all but 7 are being handled by Motley Rice, whose founding partner, Ronald L. Motley, said in an interview that his clients ``won't take cheap early money."
The firm is advancing to trial, where it says it can win jury awards larger than the settlements being offered and expose systemic failures that allowed the attacks to take place.
Waiting for a trial date
Motley Rice has maintained its stance despite repeated urgings to settle by US District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein, who so far has denied requests by Motley Rice and other firms to schedule a trial. Hellerstein has also chastised Motley Rice, pledged to prevent ``rewarding holdouts who prefer to settle later rather than earlier in the hope that they might be able to use leverage to gain additional funds later on," and warned that not settling could mean ``you will not only be litigating for my lifetime but your grandchildren's lifetime."
Still, many of the firm's clients say they sued not for financial gain, but because they believe litigation will fully reveal whether government and aviation officials could have anticipated and prevented the events of Sept. 11. Some also sued because life insurance and other ``offsets" would have reduced their payments from the compensation fund, which awarded $2 million in death cases and $400,000 in injury cases, on average.
``We did not join this lawsuit or choose to sue for monetary reward," said Carie Lemack, whose mother, Judy Larocque of Framingham, chief executive of a market research firm, died on Flight 11, which originated in Boston. ``It was always about accountability and it remains about accountability today, because reforms that are desperately needed are not happening."
``You only settle when it's appropriate to settle, and if other families felt they needed to settle I can't judge that," said Lemack. ``For people who've chosen not to settle, I completely respect their decision and think the judge owes them a trial date. They deserve that. We deserve that."
Lemack and other plaintiffs reject suggestions that, by suing, they have prolonged an emotional ordeal that delays closure, strains families, presents unknown risks, and potentially enriches the lawyers representing them -- without a guarantee that they will find what they are searching for.
``If by litigating you're looking for answers, you might be disappointed," said Faith R. Arter, board president of the Massachusetts 9/11 Fund, founded to support people who lost loved ones in the attacks. ``Litigation's just not fun, and my real concern is emotional: How much more can you bear? But I want the families to get some peace out of the process, and if that has to be in a trial I support it."
According to several lawyers and plaintiffs in the case, Motley Rice has made unusually high settlement demands, often 5 to 10 times higher than similar plane crash cases. The higher demands stem from Motley's calculations for what it calls ``terror damages" -- compensation for the amount of time frightened victims knew they were fated to die -- of between $750,000 and $1 million a minute, according to those lawyers and clients, who requested that their names not be used because the settlement process is confidential.
Passengers aboard the airliners hijacked on Sept. 11, 2001, are believed to have known for as long as 46 minutes that death was imminent.
``I can tell you categorically we're not saying a minute is worth X or Y," said Donald A. Migliori, a Motley Rice partner. ``But, yeah, we probably value them differently because this is a very different case for us. We are adamant about getting value that is appropriate and reasonable and will stand review by courts of appeal, and whatever that number is, we're going to get it, by verdict or settlement -- and these defendants know we're not bluffing."
Migliori declined to disclose exact valuations, but said some of the firm's demands are ``past the eight-figure number" because the victims had extremely high incomes. Motley Rice will receive part of any settlements or verdicts reached.
Migliori and Motley also vowed to keep fighting for information that the Transportation Security Administration has tried to keep secret, such as airport security measures in effect before September 2001. TSA has also tried to bar plaintiff lawyers from conducting live depositions and to prevent them from hearing responses to their questions.
`Not going to settle'
Depositions of several airline and security company executives, as well as airport security screeners, begin Sept. 11 -- a date some family members criticize as insensitive -- and will be the first test of the Transportation Security Administration's proposed restrictions.
``We are driven to keep pushing for information about what happened, and when that is resolved only then will we stop," said Migliori, who insists Motley Rice is ready to try cases despite the administration's roadblocks.
There are risks to pushing toward trial. The consolidated case encompasses a wide array of claims for deaths, injuries, property damage, and insurance matters, but Hellerstein is trying to settle the death and injury cases first because, he has said, ``these are not just dry negotiations. Lives with extraordinary potential have been wiped out."
However, if Hellerstein senses settlement talks are fatally stalled, he could open settlement negotiations in the property claims for buildings damaged in the attacks, estimated at up to $50 billion, which could rapidly exhaust the roughly $10 billion to $20 billion total insurance coverage in the case. If the cases don't settle and a trial takes place, he has the legal power to reduce an outsized jury verdict.
Motley Rice lawyers say they are unruffled by those possibilities.
``We're not holding out to get more money, and we're not looking for the attention to be drawn to Motley Rice. We're representing our clients and trying to achieve our goals," Migliori said.
Mediations, led by New York attorney Sheila L. Birnbaum, continue this week and could spur additional settlements, as could the depositions of aviation officials slated to begin next month.
If the parties reach a stalemate in some cases, Hellerstein will have to decide whether to end settlement talks and schedule trials, or perhaps a single trial, for whatever cases are unresolved.
Motley, for his part, said depositions ``most certainly will turn out to be meaningless because of the irrational position of the federal government" on, for example, not releasing pre-9/11 security policies. A trial could be inevitable, he said, if certain clients refuse to accept settlements.
``All of these cases aren't going to settle," Motley said. ``They are absolutely not going to settle. My clients have a right to decide to end this, and as long as I've got a client who says, `I don't want their blood money; I want accountability through a jury verdict,' no force on earth can change that."
Motley, who had not handled an aviation case before Sept. 11, is critical of what he describes as ``the cozy relationship between plaintiff lawyers and defense lawyers that exists in the aviation bar after decades of inbred litigating."
Other firms, Motley said, have settled 9/11 cases for ``magnitudes less" than their clients deserved. ``There was an extraordinary system breakdown and an extraordinary failure of aviation security," he added, ``so they ought to have to pay the maximal damages, not the minimal."
The judge has repeatedly prodded Motley Rice to push aggressively for settlements.
``Why aren't you settling your cases?" Hellerstein said to Migliori at a June 8 hearing in US District Court in New York.
``We're working on it," Migliori replied.
``You're not working hard enough. Ms. Birnbaum [the mediator] tells me she is getting no response from you. . . . Tell your colleagues that the judge is getting very impatient with this."
``I will," Migliori said.
``And will not put up with more delay," Hellerstein added. ``There's much too much delay that has gone by and much too much work to be done in this case. I will not tolerate it."
`They're doing a service'
In addition to settling three of its cases, Motley Rice is now in ``striking range" on about five others and ``there's optimism on both sides that those numbers can be bridged," Migliori said.
Lawyers for American and United airlines, who are defendants in the case, declined to comment and did not return requests for comment, respectively.
Motley Rice, one of the country's largest plaintiff litigation firms, may be best known for helping the states win a $246 billion settlement from the tobacco industry. The firm has turned the Sept. 11 attacks into a business opportunity, establishing a ``9/11 and antiterrorism" legal practice and hiring Mary F. Schiavo, former inspector general of the US Department of Transportation, in 2003.
Several Motley Rice clients said they have a practical view of the firm's stake in the Sept. 11 cases.
``Of course they're in it for the money," said Loretta Filipov of Concord, whose husband, Alexander, was on Flight 11. ``But they're also doing a service for the country, they're doing a service for the people."
``It's never been about the money," Filipov said of her decision to file a lawsuit. ``There was never any question I'd take money from the government. This was about answers."

William Rodriguez in WTC on 9/11 - A 20-year employee at one of the World Trade Center buildings hit on September 11, 2001, Rodriguez risked his life in saving many people and was honored for his heroism. And then Rodriguez testified in closed session to the official 9-11 commission about explosions in the sub-basements before the plane hit.

"'Enterprise' means any individual, sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, business trust, union chartered under the laws of this state, or other legal entity, or any unchartered union, association or group of individuals associated in fact although not a legal entity, and it includes illicit as well as licit enterprises, AND GOVERNMENTAL, as well as other, entities."

The representative of the largest group of 9/11 families says that the official version of events is a fallacy and that the NORAD stand down and evidence of incendiary devices used to bring down the towers amount to government complicity in the attacks - a conclusion shared by half of the 9/11 families he represents.
Bill Doyle heads the Coalition of 9/11 Families and lost his own son Joey in the collapse of the twin towers.
"If you want to believe what they want to snow you under on like the 9/11 Commission - that's a total fallacy," said Doyle.
"The continuing cover-up is beyond belief," Doyle told GCN radio host Alex Jones.
Doyle questioned why WTC steel that was withheld from NIST for examination for explosives was used instead to build a battleship.
"Isn't it amazing how they got it out of this country within days," said Doyle as he addressed the cover-up of the physical evidence from a crime scene.
Doyle said he had personally talked to six different individuals who were at the World Trade Center site and described incendiary devices before the collapse of the towers.
"It's documented proof that tower 7 was not hit by a plane yet it goes up in flames then the owner of the place Larry Silverstein himself ordered it to be pulled at 4 o'clock that afternoon and all of a sudden it exploded straight down."
"We have two planes fly into the towers and all of a sudden they get blown up within an hour and a half - that's impossible," said Doyle.
Doyle estimated that around half of the family members his organization represents think that there was government complicity in the attacks.
"It looks like there was a conspiracy behind 9/11 if you really look at all the facts - a lot of families now feel the same way."
"Where was NORAD," asked Doyle as he highlighted the implausible gap between the known hijacking times of Flight 93 and Flight 77 and their eventual destruction.
"It was called a step-down - don't do anything - let it happen."
"From everything I look at I'm sure there was a lot of complicity - in the least there had to be a lot of complicity - if you read all the facts there's no way that nineteen hijackers carried out this mission," Doyle told Jones.
Doyle also spoke out on establishment charities withholding large portions of donations from 9/11 families and how 9/11 whistleblowers have been punished meanwhile individuals who facilitated the attacks were rewarded.

Emotional shell game accusation of 'disgracing victim's memories' doesn't jive anymore.
Another 9/11 family member has gone public to rubbish the conspiracy theory that the attacks were planned and executed by nineteen incompetent Arabs with box cutters who were getting drunk in a strip club the night before and barely even made it to the airport on time. Meanwhile, hit pieces against the 9/11 truth movement continue in the lead up to the fifth anniversary of the event.
A familiar emotional shell game on the part of the debunkers is to proclaim that questioning any aspect of 9/11 disgraces the memory of the victims. This tactic is clearly not working anymore especially in light of the fact that Bill Doyle, representative of the largest group of 9/11 family members - says that half now completely distrust the official version of events.
Bob McIlvaine's son Bobby was working for Merrill Lynch in the 103rd floor of the south tower when Flight 175 struck. He was likely one of the unfortunate individuals who obeyed the Port Authority's ridiculous order for workers to stay in the building and not evacuate even after Flight 11 had ploughed into the north tower.
McIlvaine is convinced that the attacks were an inside job orchestrated by elements within the US government.
"Today, there are no ifs or buts in my mind that this was an inside job. The US government orchestrated it with the help of MI6 and Pakistan and Mossad. What they are telling us is bullshit. The hijackers were patsies and Osama bin Laden was set up," McIlvaine told the London Independent.
McIlvaine has since devoted his life to educating others on what really happened on 9/11.
Despite the best efforts of Jewish American Adam Yehiye Gadahn "converting" to Islam and joining the AllCIAduh AllMossaduh terrorist gang to propagandize the reality of the Al-Qaeda myth, Americans are becoming increasingly skeptical of 9/11 and if the recent rash of hit pieces against the 9/11 truth movement are anything to go by, the establishment is stricken with concern. ("Al-Qaeda" is translated and defined as "The Database" computer file of CIA employees in Afghanistan.)
There were another two major 9/11 semi-debunking pieces over the weekend, one in the San Francisco Chronicle and one in Reuters. Expect a deluge of them for the next two weeks as the five year anniversary comes to pass.
The most incongruous sentence from the Chronicle piece is where CIA involvement in 9/11 is characterized as "the epitome of preposterous beliefs that start with a conclusion and work backward to find evidence."
Wasn't it media talking heads and government officials in the hours after the attacks who were reading off the same script and ascribing blame to Bin Laden with no substantiating evidence? Did they then not present alleged "evidence" to work backward to the already pre-determined conclusion? So-called evidence that is insufficient to federally indict Bin Laden for involvement in 9/11 five years after the attack - despite the fact that it took less than three months to indict him for the 1998 embassy bombings. Then the US Govt allowed all of the convicted USS Cole bombers to escape from maximum security prison.
PRISON PLANET - Existence of "Al-Qaeda" is Crap; quite literally. Did Osama really choose to name his terror network after potty humor or was it a computer database he used to chat with his CIA handlers?
The origins of the name "Al-Qaeda," and its real arabic connotations prove that every time the Bush administration, Fox News, or any individual who cites the threat of "Al-Qaeda," as a mandate for war and domestic authoritarianism, they are propagating the myth that such a group ever existed.
An organization by the name of "Al-Qaeda" does not exist and has never existed outside a falsely coined collective term for offshoot loose knit terror cells, the majority of which are guided by the Pakistani ISI, Mossad, the Saudis, MI6 and the CIA, that were created in response to America's actions after 9/11 - as the recent NIE report shows.
According to the BBC documentary The Power of Nightmares, the infamous footage of Bin Laden marching around with armed soldiers was a ruse on the part of Osama himself, graciously propagated by the lapdog press, in which actors were hired off the streets, given uniforms and guns and told to look aggressive.
Note the video states Bin Laden only took on the Al-Qaeda mantle post-9/11 after the U.S. government began parroting the term. The only error is the now debunked myth that 9/11 was carried out by "Al-Qaeda."
So if the group doesn't exist, where did the name come from?
You have heard before that "Al-Qaeda" roughly translates into "the base," but were you aware that "Ana raicha Al Qaeda" is arabic colloquial for "I'm going to the toilet"?
Would hardened terrorists hell bent on the destruction of the west name their organization after a euphemism for taking a shit?
The truth about where the name "Al-Qaeda" originated explains why no would-be fundamentalist suicide martyr could have been involved in its creation.
Former Leader of the House of Commons Robin Cook, who admirably resigned in protest of the 2003 Iraq invasion, penned a piece in the London Guardian shortly before his death that shed light on the true genesis of the name.
"Al-Qaida," states Cook, "literally "the database", was originally the computer file of the thousands of mujahideen who were recruited and trained with help from the CIA to defeat the Russians."
Former French Military Intelligence official Pierre Henry Bunel expands, noting that "Al-Qaeda," was an early form of intranet, which was used by Islamic nations and influential families to communicate with each other. It was also used by the "American agent," Osama bin Laden to send coded or covert messages back to his CIA handlers from Afghanistan.
It's worthy to conclude with Bunel's assertion that "Al-Qaeda" as an organization is about as genuine as George W. Bush's Texas brush clearing cowboy image.
"The truth is, there is no Islamic army or terrorist group called Al Qaida. And any informed intelligence officer knows this. But there is a propaganda campaign to make the public believe in the presence of an identified entity representing the 'devil' only in order to drive the 'TV watcher' to accept a unified international leadership for a war against terrorism. The country behind this propaganda is the US and the lobbyists for the US war on terrorism are only interested in making money."
October 6 2006
The Next Stage of the 9/11 Truth Movement - Bill Moyer, author of Doing Democracy The MAP Model for Organizing Social Movements, a strategist for Martin Luther King, Jr. who had been organizing and empowering activists for forty years, was with us. He taught that all social movements have been about the struggle between power-holders and the rest of us, that societal myths allow power-holders to maintain their position, and that exposing their secret violation of those myths, ideals, values is a catalyst for social change.
LOS ANGELES TIMES - The scattered movement has mainly gained steam on the Internet, but before the anniversary of the attacks, activists make their voices heard.
Striding into Washington Square Park with a fistful of photocopied circulars and an earnest expression, Eric Williams could have been an environmental canvasser or a hip missionary. In fact, he is a pastry chef — or was until last week, when he quit his job to devote himself full time to proving that the World Trade Center attack was ordered not by terrorists but by officials in the U.S. government.
Williams approached a pushcart vendor from Bangladesh: "Do you believe the official story, that Osama bin Laden and 19 hijackers took down the towers?"
"Yes," said the vendor.
Williams moved on to a Dominican woman. "Do you believe the government allowed the attacks to happen?"
The woman smiled, baffled, and asked her 10-year-old daughter to translate. "Do you believe Bin Laden was responsible for the attacks?" he asked the girl. The child shrugged expressively.
But he hit pay dirt with Nikolaos Vitoroulis, a freshman engineering student at Stevens Institute of Technology who was in the eighth grade at the time of the attacks. Vitoroulis, 18, said he had never believed a fire could cause a building to collapse that way, into its own footprint. The hijacked-plane scenario, he said, "seems a little fishy."
As New York readied for another anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, conspiracy theorists and researchers who belong to a group known as the 9/11 Truth Movement gathered in Greenwich Village. Among them were proponents of the "LIHOP" theory, who believe that members of the government "let it happen on purpose," and the "MIHOP" theory, who hold that government officials "made it happen on purpose."
Polls show that many Americans distrust the government on the subject of Sept. 11. A Zogby International poll taken in May found that 42% believed the government concealed evidence that contradicts official accounts. A Scripps Howard-Ohio University poll taken in August found that 36% believed it "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that federal officials allowed the attacks to occur because "they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East."
The theories — especially the notion that the towers fell in a controlled demolition — have become widespread enough to prompt official responses.
Last week, Brigham Young University announced that physics professor Steven E. Jones, co-chairman of the group Scholars for 9/11 Truth, would be put on indefinite leave while authorities investigated his claims that the buildings were intentionally demolished using explosives.
"Culturally, as a society, it becomes unhealthy," said Christopher Farrell of the conservative think tank Judicial Watch, which successfully filed suit against the government seeking the release of a video showing American Airlines Flight 77 hitting the Pentagon. The think tank was hoping to put to rest beliefs that the explosion was caused by a missile.
"If an individual demonstrated this sort of behavior, medical health professionals would recommend they treat it," said Farrell, a former military intelligence officer and the organization's director of investigations and research. "There's healthy skepticism, and then there's unhealthy."
This weekend's gathering in New York drew together strands of a scattered movement that has, until now, gained steam principally through the Internet.
There was radio host and activist Ralph Schoenman, who, during the course of a dizzying two-hour speech Friday, said that "not only was Mohamed Atta monitored by Mossad and the CIA, but he was being run by German intelligence," and that Hurricane Katrina "had been on the drawing board for years" as a way to "de-concentrate population" in inner cities.
There was Harvey Newman, a retired market researcher, who wrote a Caribbean-influenced "9/11 Truth" anthem ("Was the Pentagon building hit by an air-o-plane?/ And if it wasn't, please can you explain?")
There was Korey Rowe, 23, an Iraq war veteran from upstate New York who helped produce the documentary "Loose Change," which has been viewed online 10 million times. His baseball cap twisted backward, Rowe warned the audience about "agents provocateurs" who may have infiltrated the group in advance of anniversary events at ground zero. "We need to identify them now, and we need to remove them," he said.
A man in his 30s, conservatively dressed and soft-spoken, said he told almost no one about his attendance at 9/11 Truth meetings — not his co-workers at a corporate law firm and not his girlfriend. "It's considered part of the loony left," he said. "I'm very careful. I tell people who love me and will accept me for what I am."
For Williams, the former chef who lives in Duxbury, Mass., his fascination with the events of Sept. 11 grew so intense over the last two years that making pastries seemed pointless, then unbearable. He broke up with his girlfriend and now devotes six to eight hours a day to researching and writing, and hosts an Internet radio show and website. He has just sold the German and Turkish rights to two of his books, "The Puzzle of 9/11" and "9/11 101."
Europeans are always interested, he said. Engaging New Yorkers is more challenging. After an hour, he and his team left the park, drained.
Behind them, holding the Sept. 11 pamphlets, were three friends in their 20s. They were sitting on a wall in the sun, resting after a film shoot.
"At first, I thought, 'Oh, my God, a kook,' " said Shelley Rogers, 26, a graduate student in education at New York University.
But her friend Antonio Cisneros, 20, was fascinated.
"I think they're too extreme for me," he said, "but there are a lot of questions that need to be asked." He said he was glad someone was doing it.
Asked if they believed the government would murder Americans for strategic reasons, all three, without pausing, said yes.
WASHINGTON POST - He felt no shiver of doubt in those first terrible hours.
He watched the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and assumed al-Qaeda had wreaked terrible vengeance. He listened to anchors and military experts and assumed the facts of Sept. 11, 2001, were as stated on the screen.
It was a year before David Ray Griffin, an eminent liberal theologian and philosopher, began his stroll down the path of disbelief. He wondered why Bush listened to a child's story while the nation was attacked and how Osama bin Laden, America's Public Enemy No. 1, escaped in the mountains of Tora Bora.
He wondered why 110-story towers crashed and military jets failed to intercept even one airliner. He read the 9/11 Commission report with a swell of anger. Contradictions were ignored and no military or civilian official was reprimanded, much less cashiered.
"To me, the report read as a cartoon." White-haired and courtly, Griffin sits on a couch in a hotel lobby in Manhattan, unspooling words in that reasonable Presbyterian minister's voice. "It's a much greater stretch to accept the official conspiracy story than to consider the alternatives."
Such as?
"There was massive complicity in this attack by U.S. government operatives."
If that feels like a skip off the cliff of established reality, more Americans are in free fall than you might guess. There are few more startling measures of American distrust of leaders than the widespread belief that the Bush administration had a hand in the attacks of Sept. 11 in order to spark an invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq.
A recent Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll of 1,010 Americans found that 36 percent suspect the U.S. government promoted the attacks or intentionally sat on its hands. Sixteen percent believe explosives brought down the towers. Twelve percent believe a cruise missile hit the Pentagon.
Distrust percolates more strongly near Ground Zero. A Zogby International poll of New York City residents two years ago found 49.3 percent believed the government "consciously failed to act."
You could dismiss this as a louder than usual howl from the CIA-controls-my-thoughts-through-the-filling-in-my-molar crowd. Establishment assessments of the believers tend toward the psychotherapeutic. Many academics, politicians and thinkers left, right and center say the conspiracy theories are a case of one plus one equals five. It's a piling up of improbabilities.
Thomas Eager, a professor of materials science at MIT, has studied the collapse of the twin towers. "At first, I thought it was amazing that the buildings would come down in their own footprints," Eager says. "Then I realized that it wasn't that amazing -- it's the only way a building that weighs a million tons and is 95 percent air can come down."
But the chatter out there is loud enough for the National Institute of Standards and Technology to post a Web "fact sheet" poking holes in the conspiracy theories and defending its report on the towers.
Yeah, as if . . .
The loose agglomeration known as the "9/11 Truth Movement" has stopped looking for truth from the government. As cacophonous and free-range a bunch of conspiracists anywhere this side of Guy Fawkes, they produce hip-hop inflected documentaries and scholarly conferences. The Web is their mother lode. Every citizen is a researcher. There's nothing like a triple, Google-fed epiphany lighting up the laptop at 2:44 a.m.
Did you see that the CIA met with bin Laden in a hospital room in Dubai? Check out this Pakistani site, there are really weird doings in Baluchistan . . .
The academic wing is led by Griffin, who founded the Center for a Postmodern World at Claremont University; James Fetzer, a tenured philosopher at the University of Minnesota (Fetzer's an old hand in JFK assassination research); and Daniel Orr, the retired chairman of the economics department at the University of Illinois. The movement's de facto minister of engineering is Steven Jones, a tenured physics professor at Brigham Young University, who's studied vectors and velocities and tested explosives and concluded that the collapse of the twin towers is best explained as controlled demolition, sped by a thousand pounds of high-grade thermite.
Former Reagan aide Barbara Honegger is a senior military affairs journalist at the Naval Postgraduate School in California. She's convinced, based on her freelance research, that a bomb went off about six minutes before an airplane hit the Pentagon -- or didn't hit it, as some believe the case may be. Catherine Austin Fitts served as assistant secretary of housing in the first President Bush's administration and gained a fine reputation as a fraud buster; David Bowman was chief of advanced space programs under presidents Ford and Carter. Fitts and Bowman agree that the "most unbelievable conspiracy" theory is the one retailed by the government.
Then there's Morgan O. Reynolds, appointed by George W. Bush as chief economist at the Labor Department. He left in 2002 and doesn't think much of his former boss; he describes President Bush as a "dysfunctional creep," not to mention a "possible war criminal."
You reach Reynolds at his country home in the hills of Arkansas. His favored rhetorical style is long paragraphs without obvious punctuation: "Who did it? Elements of our government and M-16 and the Mossad. The government's case is a laugh-out-loud proposition. They used patsies and lies and subterfuge and there's no way that Bush and Cheney could have invaded Iraq without the help of 9/11."
They are cantankerous and sometimes distrust each other -- who knows where the double agents lurk? But unreasonable questions resonate with the reasonable. Colleen Kelly's brother, a salesman, had breakfast at the Windows on the World restaurant on Sept. 11. After he died she founded September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows to oppose the Iraq war. She lives in the Bronx and gives a gingerly embrace to the conspiracy crowd.
"Sometimes I listen to them and I think that's sooooo outlandish and bizarre," she says. "But that day had such disastrous geopolitical consequences. If David Ray Griffin asks uncomfortable questions and points out painful discrepancies? Good for him."
Griffin's book, "The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11," never reviewed in a major U.S. newspaper, sold more than 100,000 copies and became a movement founding stone. Last year he traveled through New England, giving speeches in whitewashed churches and gymnasiums. He came to West Hartford, Conn., on a rainy autumn evening. Four hundred mostly middle-aged and upper-middle-class doctors and lawyers, teachers and social workers sat waiting.
Griffin took the podium and laid down his ideas with calm and cool. He concluded:
"It is already possible to know beyond a reasonable doubt one very important thing: The destruction of the World Trade Center was an inside job, orchestrated by domestic terrorists," he says. "The welfare of our republic and perhaps even the survival of our civilization depend on getting the truth about 9/11 exposed."
The audience rose and applauded for more than a minute.
"Reality is a thin line between denial and paranoia." - Author unknown, but often quoted by the 9/11 truth movement
"Me?" You've asked the Rev. Frank Morales, the bohemian Episcopalian minister with the hipster goatee, where he stands on the nature of the conspiracy. We're standing in the ancient graveyard of St. Mark's Church in the Bowery on Second Avenue. "I lean to LIHOP."
The 9/11 truthers share a lieutenant colonel's love of acronyms. They divide themselves into LIHOPS and MIHOPS and differences are not trifling. LIHOP stands for "Let It Happen On Purpose," which means someone inside the U.S. government intentionally let the terror conspiracy go. MIHOP means "Made It Happen On Purpose," and its gradations center on whether Bush was in or out of the loop (a surprising number believe he was clueless) and whether the Mossad or British intelligence was dealt into the deal.
Morales, 57, who came out of the Lower East Side housing projects, spent days at Ground Zero performing last rites for the dead, many little more than a collection of body parts.
"I didn't presume to know who did it," he says. "There was a lot of shucking and jiving. I wonder at what point massive incompetence crosses over into negligent homicide."
To make sense of the truth movement's anger, you need to hit the rewind button to early 2001, with the hindsight of today. There was, as the 9/11 Commission hearings made clear, a bad moon rising. Warnings kept coming of a "high probability" of a "spectacular" terrorist attack. A national security adviser warned Condoleezza Rice there were terrorist cells, probably al-Qaeda guys, in the country. CIA chief George Tenet said the "system was blinking red."
A presidential bulletin on Aug. 6 had a catchy title: "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S." Bush did not discuss it again with Tenet before Sept. 11.
So give the truth movement, many of whom are based in New York City, their props. They may be paranoid, but something nasty came our way. They pore over the paper trail with a Sherlock Holmesian intensity, alert to intriguing discrepancy.
Such as:
Former transporation secretary Norman Mineta told the commission he arrived in the presidential operations center -- under the White House -- at 9:20 a.m. on Sept. 11 and found Vice President Cheney. When an aide asked Cheney about the hijacked plane fast approaching the Pentagon, Mineta says the vice president snapped that the "orders still stand." Mineta assumed the orders were to shoot the plane down. Conspiracy theorists interpret this to mean: Don't shoot it down.
Cheney later said he was not in the operations center until after the plane hit. The commission never mentioned Mineta's contradictory version.
In September 2001, NORAD generals said they learned of the hijackings in time to scramble fighter jets. But the government recently released tapes claiming to show the FAA did not tell the military about the hijackings until three of the four planes had crashed.
That would mean the FAA repeatedly lied. It would also mean, as Griffin points out, that the entire military chain of command stayed quiet about huge inaccuracies for four years "even though . . . the true story would put the military in a better light."
More mysteries pile up. The 9/11 Commission says Flight 77 hit the Pentagon at 9:37. But Honegger says clocks stopped at the Pentagon at 9:32. Then there's the collapse of the twin towers, which Jones, the physics professor, timed at just short of free fall. Griffin cites firefighters, including a captain, who said in hearings and on tapes from that day that they saw flashes and heard the sound of explosions before the collapse.
"It's like the Nazi-facilitated Reichstag fire," Honegger says from her home in California. "They guided and secretly protected it to justify their global agenda."
Let's put aside the could-anyone-do-something-that-spectacularly-twisted? question and touch on practicalities. Isn't the problem with big ugly conspiracies -- from the Gulf of Tonkin to My Lai to the 1961 Pentagon plan to provoke a war by attacking Americans and blaming it on Castro -- that they are too big and ugly to keep secret?
Griffin shrugs. History is littered with government black-bag jobs. "How do you know they can't keep big secrets? Can you be sure you know what you don't know?"
There is a "morning after" quality to the conspiratorial romance. One moment you groove on the epiphanies and the next moment you're lost in a dull haze of "this cannot be a coincidence," "perhaps significantly" and "if so . . ."
What of incompetence? Or the raw absurdity of life? The truth movement makes much of a 2001 BBC report that a half-dozen of the hijackers were still alive. They mention Waleed al Shehri, a pilot who still flies commercial runs in Morocco. But the BBC retracted that.
It turns out the live guy and the dead hijacker spelled their names differently.
Then there's the theory that Flight 77 did not hit the Pentagon and United 93 did not crash in Shanksville, Pa. But, like, what happened to the passengers? (Among the passengers on Flight 77 was Barbara Olson, wife of former U.S. solicitor general Ted Olson).
"Why should any of us know where it went?" Griffin says. "It could have been it crashed in Kentucky. We don't need a theory where it went."
Chip Berlet, senior analyst at Political Research Associates, a Boston-based left-leaning think tank, is no fan of the 9/11 Commission. He believes a serious investigation should have led to indictments and the firing of incompetent generals and civilian officials.
But he has no patience with the conspiracy theorists.
"They don't do their homework; it's a kind of charlatanism," Berlet says over the phone. "They say there's no debris on the lawn in front of the Pentagon, but they base their analysis on a photo on the Internet . That's like analyzing an impressionist painting by looking at a postcard."
Now comes a loud sigh.
"I love 'The X-Files' but I don't base my research on it," he says. "My vision of hell is having to review these [conspiracy] books over and over again."
Let's move on to Eager of MIT. "Demolition experts say, 'Ohhh, it's all science and timing.' Bull!" Eager says. "What's the technique? If 200,000 tons gives way, where do you think it's going? Straight down."
In the days after Sept. 11, experts claimed temperatures reached 2,000 degrees on the upper floors. Others claimed steel melted. Nope. What happened, Eager says, is that jet fuel sloshed around and beams got rubbery.
"It's not too much to think that you could have some regions at 900 degrees and others at 1,200 degrees, and that will distort the beams."
The truth movement doesn't really care for Eager. A Web site casts a fisheye of suspicion at the professor and his colleagues. "Did the MIT have prior knowledge?" notes one chat room. "This is for sure another speculative topic . . . "
"It is no measure of health to be sane in an insane society." - Krishnamurti
Nico Haupt, a gaunt fellow in black sneakers, black socks, black jeans and black T-shirt, stands up in St. Mark's Church in the Bowery. He holds aloft two blue Oreos boxes taped to resemble the twin towers. A pen juts out, kind of like a Boeing airplane.
For an hour he's shown videos of planes hitting the towers. If you note the glinting sunlight and angle of wings and you're honest about vectors and maybe the hashish is kicking in, you'll realize there were no planes .
Truth movement veterans distance themselves from Haupt, who has a bit of a temper. But Reynolds, the former Labor Department economist, also is a "no-planer."
"There were no planes, there were no hijackers," Reynolds insists. "I know, I know, I'm out of the mainstream, but that's the way it is."
But what about all those New Yorkers who saw airplanes hitting the twin towers? A chuckle rumbles down the phone line. "I don't believe anyone in Lower Manhattan," he says. "You hire three dozen Actors' Equity dudes and they'll say anything ."
Some days the 9/11 truth movement resembles an Italian coalition government -- dissolution is a certainty. Honegger and Griffin believe bombs brought down the twin towers but have little truck with make-believe planes. There's a faction that says the Mossad did it and another that says that's insane, and maybe anti-Semitic.
Where are we going here? There's a Journal of 9/11 Studies, documentaries, CDs and DVDs. Is conspiracy thought getting codified?
"That's our worry, of course," Griffin says. "I want my life back. But how can I ignore that we have become entranced by demonic power, so focused on lust for wealth and control that almost anything becomes possible?"
You reach Honegger a few nights later. She'd like to give it up, too. "I am sitting here in my little office trying to figure out what happened to my country on this day. I wouldn't be a patriot if I didn't try to prove the government's story is preposterous."
LONDON GUARDIAN - They call it the 9/11 for Truth Movement, and tonight those who believe the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon were carried out by the American government and not jihadist hijackers will gather in London's Conway Hall to listen to one of the biggest figures among a growing number of disbelievers.
Two days before the fifth anniversary of the attacks, David Ray Griffin, emeritus professor of philosophy of religion and theology at Claremont graduate university, and author of The New Pearl Harbor and The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions, will ask his audience: "Was 9/11 an inside job?"
He will be joined on stage by the ex-MI5 officer David Shayler, who will introduce the talk, for which tickets have almost sold out. Prof Griffin is a founder member of the 9/11 Scholars for Truth movement in the US. He is joined by 75 academics who write in books, journals and essays that they have overwhelming evidence that shatters the official version of events on that September morning.
And it seems that a growing number of people are listening to them. A recent poll in the US found that 36% of Americans believed it "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that their government was involved in allowing the attacks or had carried them out itself. There are many people in the UK who agree with them.
The theories as to what happened on that day, when almost 3,000 people were killed, differ but their unifying theme is that a neo-conservative cabal within the US government staged the events as a pretext to wage wars, become a dominant force in the world and establish "the new American century". The attacks, it is said, were not carried out by al-Qaida terrorists but were a "false flag" event used to justify invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Films have been made on the subject, websites show countless images that "back up" the claims, chatrooms are screaming with conspiracists and there is a plethora of published material. Much of this argues that the collapse of the Twin Towers was caused by a controlled demolition and not by the aeroplanes which slammed into their sides.
Ian Neal helped form the British 9/11 for Truth Movement, which he says is a "loose network of campaigners who have grown up over the past two years". The official 9/11 commission investigation into the attacks firmly dismissed the conspiracy theories, but those who expound them say this is precisely why there needs to be an independent inquiry.
The Sept. 7 article on the 9/11 "conspiracy" vividly displayed the bias of the mainstream press on this issue.
By calling the 9/11 movement a "conspiracy" -- a codeword for "wacko" -- you handily discredited it without providing any reasons why you think it is wrong.
If you believe the 9/11 movement is wrong, make your case based on the evidence; don't dismiss it by using a false label to describe it.
FRENCH LIBERATION - September 11th was a coup d'etat. That is what the large poster leaning against the wall says. It is also what these one hundred New Yorkers think, as they gather on September 3, in front of the poster, in an East Village auditorium. Some wear buttons reading "Investigate 9/11", others "Expose the fraud".
As on every Sunday evening, the group New York 9/11 Truth is holding an informational meeting. On the program are extracts from the next version of the documentary Loose Change, which has garnered millions of spectators on the Internet since spring 2005.
The arguments, already known to all, are re-sifted in new testimony by experts and independent journalists. Thus, it was not an airliner that smashed into the Pentagon (not enough debris, a virtually intact lawn, and too narrow a breach in the wall); it was not the melting of the steel that caused the collapse of the World Trade Center Towers (their structure was too formidable for that) but a controlled demolition by explosives placed in the buildings. Conclusion: the American government (or an entity controlling it) conspired to organize the attacks of September 11 and to thus justify its operations in the Middle East.
"To educate people"
Now, five years after the drama, as the United States prepares to commemorate the attacks, the conspiracist movement has mushroomed with the multiplication of websites, books, films and conferences. "It has really taken off recently," explains Janice Matthews, director of 911truth.org, the principal national organization questioning the official version. "We try to keep pace with our own success." According to a survey carried out in July by Scripps Survey Research Center, a research center of the university of Ohio, 36 % of Americans think that it is "somewhat probable" or "very probable" that the government took part in the attacks or authorized them. But these results drop when those polled are confronted with the conspiracist versions of events. No more than 16 % think explosives, and not the planes and fire, caused the collapse of the two World Trade Center Towers.
The East Village meeting also has on its agenda the program of the September 8th to 12th mobilization. A "peaceful" demonstration at Ground Zero, the scene of the drama, is proposed. There is debate. The meeting ends in confusion. A participant tries to convince the audience that it is necessary to go to Ground Zero on the 10th, "when Bush is there," and not on the 11th. A young activist seeks to convince the participants to take to the street "to inform and educate people." A score of them end up agreeing. They slip on tee-shirts on which one can read: "The real conspiracy theory is the government's version." Then they go up 11th Avenue distributing their leaflets.
This disorderly, swelling procession is the image of the movement. Initiatives abound just like the theories and the Web sites promoting them. "It is a grass-roots phenomenon, people launching do-it-yourself projects," explains Nicholas Levis, 41 years, a New York activist who works as a translator in his spare time. "We lack organization, which is both a strength and a weakness." He himself finds that documentary Loose Change does not present the facts, but recognizes that it has played a decisive part in the movement.
"At the beginning, it was a fictional film about people discovering the truth," says Korey Rowe, the 23 year-old producer of film. "But, as we went along, we discovered more and more evidence until finally it became overwhelming. We had no choice but to make a documentary." (Co-director) Korey Rowe had been in the army and served in Afghanistan and Iraq. Dylan Avery, the 22-year-old director of film, was then a waiter with Red Lobster, a restaurant chain. The budget of documentary was minuscule: 2 000 dollars for the first version, created on a laptop. Released on the Internet in April 2005, the film has spread at a phenomenal speed. Korey Rowe estimates that more than 75 million people have seen it. "For every DVD sold, we distribute three of them free and 20 people see it on the Internet," he explains.
It is in American universities that the documentary has excited the most interest, thanks to students spreading the word. Director of Scripps Survey Research Center Guido Stempel estimates that "the success of these theories is related to increasing mistrust with respect to the Bush government, its lack of credibility and its penchant for secrecy."
That is also one of the arguments most often used by the activists: "Why should we believe the government about this when it lies about everything else?" asks (Les) Jamieson, coordinator of New York 9/11 Truth, at the end of the meeting in the East Village. The conspiracists all remember their "turning point," the conference or reading that led them to join the movement.
"Once that you believe in it, there's no going back, you devote your life to it" says Janette MacKinlay, a 58 year old artist. She lived across from the Twin Towers at the time of the attacks and regards herself as "a survivor." She started to doubt in August 2004, at a meeting in San Francisco, by listening to two Members of the 9/11 Commission, created to shed light on the attacks. "They did not answer any questions. I had the impression it was a cover-up." Se then read a book by David Ray Griffin, a theologian considered as a reference by the conspiracist movement, and "informed herself." Since then, she is the one who has been organizing conferences. "I am a patriot," she says. "I am trying to fight this policy of fear they're subjecting us to."
Kevin Barrett, for his part, describes himself as "a skeptic with respect to the official versions of the great historical events." But this academic specialist in Islam did not take the plunge immediately: "There was initially an emotional effect. People were not able to react rationally." His turning point also came after reading, then passing extensive time on the Internet. "It is the base of communication between people who share information about September 11," he explains.
The principal national organization, 911truth.org, has no name other than its internet address. It links groups in 38 States, survives on individual gifts and pays a salary to its director, 45 year old Janice Matthews, an unmarried mother of six children living in Kansas City.
Another notable organization, Scholars for 9/11 Truth aims at giving academic respectability to the movement by publishing a review on the web. "The goal is to organize researchers," explains Kevin Barrett, one of its members.
"Historically, conspiracy theorists are often people who have succeeded in university careers," observes Mark Fenster, co-author of a book on conspiracy theories (1). Kevin Barrett is today in the center of a polemic because of a course on Islam he teaches at the university of Wisconsin. Steve Nass, a Republican representative, demanded his firing due to his ideas about September 11th. The university administration decided not to buckle.
Mark Fenster distinguishes two categories of conspiracy theorists: "There is a core group persuaded that Bush knew. And there is a much larger segment of the American public that thinks the government has not told the whole truth, and is expressing its dissatisfaction. But they do not necessarily buy into all of the alternative versions." According to him, the dispute about September 11th is part of a tradition of questioning the great historical events in the United States, beginning with the Kennedy assassination.
"Myths" against "scientific truths"
"The success of these ideas took everyone by surprise," remarks 51-year-old Pat Curley. This real estate expert from Phoenix (Arizona) put together a blog, Screw Loose Change, to dispute the film. "There are fewer of us among the debunkers than among the conspiracy theorists" he says. "The Scripps-Howard poll was an enormous catalyst. People said to themselves that this was serious."
In March 2005, the magazine Popular Mechanics published a detailed investigation "to dismantle the myths" about September 11th. It has just developed it into a book (2), prefaced by the Republican senator John McCain. Several sites, created by private individuals, follow the same pattern, opposing the conspiracists' "myths" to scientific "truths." "It is a race to win the acclaim of the public" says University of Florida law professor Mark Fenster, "a race in which the government was kept on the sidelines for a long time. If it answers, it legitimizes the dispute. If it does not answer, it also legitimizes it by giving the impression of avoiding the arguments. It is a difficult position."
Two governmental Web sites have just published pages of questions and answers to refute the conspiratorial ideas. They are the State Department and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, an agency of the Commerce Department that spent three years investigating the fall of the Towers. Judicial Watch, a conservative group seeking to promote transparency in government, succeed in obtaining from the latter two films showing the attack on the Pentagon. The conspiracist organizations consider the images unclear. They demand, in addition, the recordings of three other surveillance cameras in the vicinity that were seized by the FBI.
Phoenix real estate expert Pat Curley "would also love" to see these vidéos. But he doubts the effectiveness of any tangible proof on the conspiracists. "Once they are converted, it is impossible to convince them," he notes. Mark Fenster agrees: "It is like a debate between a believer and an atheist. There is no sufficient common ground." "If a piece of evidence does not support their theory, it inevitably becomes part of the plot," says Pat Curley. "The only thing that you can hope for, it is to prevent those who are holding the fort from passing over to other side."
Armed with a brand new batch of clever inventions and one eye-popping scale model, the intrepid team of Mythbusters decided to test a 911conspiracy theory, that the WTC towers collapsed by controlled demolition.
"We wanted to prove the conspiracy wackos wrong," said the intrepid duo, Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage. "And of course score some big bucks by blowing things up."
According to the New York Times, Mythbusters "may be the best science program on television." Throughout scores of entertaining episodes, the dynamic duo of Savage and Hyneman patiently construct scale models and then smash them, crush them, burn them or blow them up.
"Or blow them down," said Savage, cracking a grin. "All in the name of science."
According to millions of 911 conspiracy theorists, who believe the World Trade Towers collapsed by carefully rigged explosives, the government never proved their case fully. Many suspicions remain. Mythbusters intended to explode the foremost government myth about the 911 terrorist attack--that airplanes filled with fuel could cause a burning steel skyscraper to collapse--and thus prove the conspiracy theorists wrong.
"We usually only blow up pants, toilets and paint cans but we finally decided to explode a popular urban legend and drive a stake through its heart," said Hyneman, standing on Mare Island, former US Navy base.
So the pair hired a team of model makers to build a scale model of one of the WTC towers on the old US Navy base on Mare Island, north of San Francisco. Built to 1/25 scale (25 feet equals 1 foot), like a giant model kit, the scale model tower stood over fifty feet tall. Tens of thousands of miniature steel beams were used, engineered to exact scale, and welded to similar scale model girders in a precise copy of the doomed WTC. Working from blueprints, the model makers even recreated the stout inner core of 47 steel columns, running from three feet below ground to the top floor.
Each face of the 54-foot tower, sheathed in glistening aluminum, measured more than eight feet wide. Additionally, the model makers poured a thin layer of steel-reinforced concrete on each of the 110 floors, to add authenticity to the model, as well as comparable weight.
According to Wikipedia: "All of the original buildings in the complex were destroyed in a massive terrorist attack on September 11, 2001: 1 WTC, 2 WTC, )North and South Towers) and 7 WTC collapsed; 3 WTC (Marriot Hotel) was crushed by the collapses of 1 WTC and 2 WTC; and 4 WTC, 5 WTC, and 6 WTC were damaged beyond repair and later demolished."
"We knew jet fuel must be pretty hot to melt steel beams, and collapse three towers, so we wanted to see for ourselves," said Savage and Hyneman. "We also wondered how jet fuel got hot enough to melt those beams and girders and why that doesn't ever happen in your backyard barbecue grill. We also wanted to know how two women could be standing in plain sight, right there where everyone could see them, on this super hot steel, and not melt like the molten steel that was found later."
So the dynamic duo also built an aluminum Boeing jet plane to scale. The 1/ 25 scale model Boeing 767, only a little more than six feet long by six feet wide, looked puny by comparison to the tower it allegedly destroyed. But in actuality, a full-sized, fully-fueled 767 with passengers weighed close to 387,000 lbs, or more than 190 tons. By contrast, each WTC tower weighed an estimated 500,000 tons.
Mythbusters considered filling their scale model aircraft with fuel (The hijacked planes could carry 23,000 gallons) but decided instead to fill several top floors with kerosene instead. "We couldn't get the model plane off the ground otherwise," said Savage. They had devised an ingenious propulsion system, part catapult, part giant gun, that would fire the cumbersome scale model airplane (minus the highly-combustible jet fuel) into the tower.
"Like ramming a silver SUV going 500 MPH into a shiny square silo," said Savage of his test. "Unfortunately the first model plane we made overshot the WTC and smashed into this two story concrete building belonging to the US Navy. The plane hit at an angle going 500 MPH. Later we picked up pieces of that smashed plane two hundred feet away. One wing detached completely and slid along the building and nearly decapitated a couple of cameramen."
On the second try, the Mythbusters smacked the scale model Boeing exactly on the scale model WTC, almost forty feet up. Striking the tower at a speed of 500 MPH, the model airplane left a definite imprint. The tower shook visibly but remained standing. Seconds later the kerosene ignited. The tower burned brightly, almost exactly as the original WTC burned more than five years before.
"But then the jet fuel, basically kerosene, burnt away within 20-30 minutes. Although we had placed several tons of plastic objects, to simulate office furnishings, throughout the tower, we saw the tower start to smoke less than an hour after ignition."
From a gridwork of construction scaffolding, the pair filmed the tower burning for the first hour and then watched it smolder and smoke for a second hour. And then a third. And a fourth. Eight hours later, at sunset, the tower still stood, smoking like a chimney, but the fire only flickered inside.
"We didn't know what to do next," said Hyneman, looking perturbed. " we know that building manager, Frank Demartini, who died inside the WTC, said the lattice-like steel beam and girder assembly of the twin towers would absorb a big Boeing crash like a mosquito going through screen mesh and remain strong and still standing. But every American saw the towers fall."
Although the inner core of the scale model WTC, those 47 steel columns was bent and shattered, the upper part of the scale model tower never fell. The next day, using precise, laser measuring devices, the dynamic duo measured the distortion of the tower from the scaffold. While the upper segment indicated a perceptible distortion the tower had not collapsed. Nor did they find any molten steel in the sub floor.
Towering Inferno?
Unlike the 32 story steel skyscraper that burned out of control in 2005 and completely gutted the building in Madrid, the twin towers in New York only burned for an hour or so before collapsing. Puzzled, the pair of Mythbusters decided the try to recreate a controlled collapse using a couple of borrowed, US Army flame throwers.
"Our original half hour show, intending to debunk this one urban legend, now became a full hour," lamented Savage. "and from what I've heard, there are dozens, if not hundreds, of 911 urban legends still to be debunked. NORAD, WTC-7, passport...Not enough shows to do them all."
Next the intrepid pair dropped napalm on the tower from a hovering helicopter. "We must have dropped a ton of the stuff and never did find any melted steel later," said Savage, "although for several minutes we got that tower to glow like a fifty foot roadside flare."
Perplexed, the pair wondered if the model makers had built the tower too strong, as an insider prank. Although the scale model still stood, blackened and slightly distorted, the wily experimenters decided to rig several hundred small explosives to the inner core, every eighteen inches, to simulate a heat-weakened WTC.
"According to Popular Mechanics magazine, the WTC fire weakened the system of expansion joints, causing the towers to pancake down and all the concrete to explode like the eruption of Mt St. Helens," said Savage.
Fellow Mythbuster Hyneman concurred. "We tried napalm and that didn't work. So we theorize that the concrete floors in the World Trade Towers must have contained some natural-occurring explosive cement that only occurred in buildings 1,2 and 7. And so we rigged several hundred small explosives to duplicate the explosive quality of the concrete."
"Exactly," said Savage. "How else to explain that concrete exploding into zillions of microscopic dust particles and spreading across miles of lower Manhattan?"
After the Mythbusters rigged 500 cherry bombs and M-80s---"The old style ones that would blow your fingers off," said Hyneman--they stood back and detonated the whole contraption while the cameras rolled. Not surprising, the tower finally collapsed into a pile of miniature beams and girders, proving the government correct. The 911 terrorist attack and the subsequent WTC collapse occurred exactly as described.
Footnote: While the above spoof was satire and never happened (YET), the intrepid Mythbusters have actually experimented with thermite. Yes, our dynamic duo actually used the stuff that MELTS STEEL, in an earlier episode about the airship, Hindenburg. Write, email, fax, or call Mythbusters and ask them to do a WTC show. See how they fare.
Why the FBI got away with the first WTC bombing in 1993 - ONLINE JOURNAL - On February 26, 1993, a gray snowy day in Manhattan like the one I write on 14 years later, the FBI and US government failed to stop the van-bomb explosion in the World Trade Center’s basement garage, just as NORAD and the US government failed to stop the airliner blitz on the Twin Towers and Pentagon on September 11, 2001. The FBI put an informant named Emad Salem, a 43-year old former Egyptian military officer, smack dab in the middle of the Muslim protestors. Salem worked the group and became bodyguard for the blind Sheik Abdul Rahman, radical Muslim cleric and group leader. The sheik, coincidentally, had been heavily subsidized by the U S government while in Pakistan in the late 1980s, helping to pump up Muslims to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. When on February 26, 1993, a 1,200-pound bomb in a van exploded in the parking garage under the World Trade Center, purportedly in a government agency parking spot; it was the most destructive terrorist attack on US soil to that time. Its achievement is now supplanted by the 9/11/01 attack. What’s next, a whole city (New Orleans), a region, a blue state? That dark question aside, the ’93 attack killed six people, injured more than a thousand, and racked up a half billion dollars in damage. After the bombing, the FBI further played Keystone Cops and stumbled over themselves to rehire Salem, offering him a million bucks to discover evidence of more terrorist plots. Salem, being a reasonably smart guy, did not trust the boyz to pay up. So he secretly recorded his conversations with FBI agents. In August, as the case approached its trial, news leaked Salem had made tapes of more than a hundred hours of his conversations with FBI agents and handlers. Yet somehow the transcripts were not helpful to the prosecution. In a call to an FBI agent shortly after the bombing Salem complained, “We was start already building the bomb, which is went off in the World Trade Center. It was built, uh, uh, uh, supervising, supervision from the Bureau [FBI] and the DA [district attorney] and we was all informed about it. And we know that the bomb start to be built. By who? By your confidential informant. What a wonderful great case. And then he ‘the FBI [supervisor]’ put his head in the sand and said, o no, no, no that’s not true, he is a son of a bitch, okay.” Frustrated, Salem told one FBI agent, “You were informed. Everything is ready. The day and the time. Book. Lock them up and that’s that. That’s why I feel so bad.” Another tape revealed Salem asking an FBI agent, “Do you deny your supervisor is the main reason of bombing the World Trade Center?” The agent did not deny Salem’s charge. Shortly after the bombing, FBI agent Nancy Floyd confided to Salem that her supervisions botched the case. Yet, as James Bovard reports, Salem offered to do a switcheroo on the bombers and substitute harmless powder for deadly explosives and prevent any real catastrophe. The FBI turned down his offer. Why? Salem groused to one FBI man that an FBI supervisor “requested to make me to testify [in public] and if he didn’t push for that, we’ll be going building the bomb with a phony powder and grabbing the people who was involve in it. But . . . we didn’t do that.” That’s right, the real explosives were used and the reason lands square in the FBI’s lap. Somehow the FBI got more credit for “solving” the first World Trade Center bombing than it got “blame” for the fact that its informant may have aided in the bombing. Worse, could it be that what was really emerging was a pattern of false flag attacks on the US, going forward to the Oklahoma City bombings of the Murrah Building on April 19, 1995? That bloody catastrophe was supposedly caused by a Ryder Truck containing an ANFO bomb, driven there by two lone gunmen, Timothy McVeigh, executed for it by lethal injection June 11, 2001, and Terry Nichols later jailed for life for it. As of November 8, 2006, Nichols was still trying to blow the whistle on the FBI’s involvement in it and being denied access to reporters. Also, first responders that awful day found two other live bombs and the remains of an exploded bomb. The live bombs were at each end of the building and subsequently removed and defused. The exploded bomb in the middle of the building was the one that caused the major damage and murder. The ANFO truck-bomb blow-up was basically a ruse. In fact, witnesses had noticed, earlier in that week, several men in jumpsuits with “Government Agency Personnel” written on the back, working on wiring in the basement garage of the Murrah building. Thus, there seems to be government (FBI) involvement and subsequent cover-ups in all three domestic tragedies, and with “terrorist” patsies of one kind or another to take the raps. We should also look back to the classic false flag Operation Northwoods, which was designed to make it look like Cuba was attacking the US, so that the US would attack Cuba and remove Castro. JFK may have lost his life, in part, for stopping the operation cold and firing its author, the chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Lyman Lemnitzer, in September 1962. Yet, once those same forces found a green light for Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, larger and more frequent false-flag attacks on and off US soil could follow. This to make sure that a populace cowed by fear of some external “ism” would keep fighting it to the death. Tragically, the corrosive enemy was a cancer killing from within for its own hungry agenda. And so, a belated conscious WTC anniversary to all. And dare I say “never forget?” all the facts or perps.
ARGUS UK - Conspiracy theories about what happened on 9/11 began to circulate just days after the attacks, but in recent months they've become a phenomenon with up to 75 per cent of Americans believing their government hasn't told them the whole truth about that tragic day.
World Trade Centre janitor William Rodriguez was there when the aircraft struck the Towers and was decorated for his heroism in rescuing survivors.
Ahead of an appearance in Lewes, he speaks to Angela Wintle about the experience and the disturbing questions he's been asking ever since.
They still haunt his dreams, the ones who didn't get away. He hears their screams for help from the passenger lift, screams he heard as he fled from the stricken World Trade Centre for the very last time.
He sees the faces of his old pals from the Window on the World restaurant, people he met daily over breakfast, who never stood a chance on the 106th floor. He remembers the fixed looks in the eyes of the firefighters as they pushed past him up the stairwell, never to return.
William Rodriguez saved dozens of lives on 9/11, but it's the ones he didn't save he thinks about most.
But, of course, by rights, he shouldn't be here at all. Rodriguez, 45, was a janitor at the World Trade Centre, tasked with cleaning three stairwells in the North Tower. But on September 11, 2001, he overslept and was half an hour late for work.
Ordinarily, he would have been having breakfast in the staff kitchen 106 storeys up when the first aircraf hit at 8.46am. But the Fates were looking down on him that day and he'd only just entered the basement of the building.
"I was on B1 level, talking to my supervisor, when we suddenly heard a massive explosion," he says.
"It was so strong the walls began to crumble and the false ceiling fell on top of us.
"Then, seconds later, there was another explosion way above, which made the building sway from side to side. And this, we later discovered, was the first plane hitting the North Tower on the 90th floor."
Rodriguez became a national hero as a result of his actions that day and was honoured five times at the White House. But all that changed when he started asking some very awkward questions.
Why had he heard a massive explosion from the basement seconds before the first aircraft hit? Why had the building collapsed so suddenly, defying the laws of science? And why were the authorities seemingly intent on hushing up his story?
Incredible though it seems, Rodriguez decided there could be only one explanation. It was a coverup.
And there could be only one reason for a cover-up - the US government itself was behind the attacks.
The suggestion that the US administration would instigate an attack on its own people, wiping out more than 3,000 lives, may seem wholly implausible - but it's a theory that's gaining considerable ground.
A recent poll by the respected New York Times revealed three out of four Americans now suspect the US government of not telling the truth about 9/11. That proportion has shot up from a year ago, when half the population said they didn't believe the official story.
So what could be the reason for this acceleration?
Well, it's largely down to a 90-minute internet movie called Loose Change, in which Rodriguez appears, made for £1,500 on a cheap laptop by three young American men.
A blitz of statistics, photographs pinched from the web, eye-witness accounts and expert testimony, all set to hip-hop music, it poses the question that's now on everyone's lips - did the Bush administration fabricate an outrage against civilians to fool the world and provide a pretext for war on Al Qaeda and Iraq?
Needless to say, White House sources and US intelligence services have roundly denied and condemned the allegations, but nagging suspicions remain and are now being furiously debated on both sides of the Atlantic.
To add fuel to the fire, a documentary series called The Conspiracy Files, shown last Sunday on BBC2, has also explored the unanswered questions surrounding 9/11.
It seems Rodriguez couldn't have chosen a better time for a nationwide speaking tour of Britain, in which he is setting out his conspiracy theory. But then cynics might argue this is no coincidence.
Next Monday, the people of Sussex will have a chance to make up their own minds about his remarkable story when he pitches up at Sussex Downs College in Lewes for one of 22 speaking dates around the country.
Punters will not be disappointed because he does not short-change his public.
An animated speaker, his words pour forth in a torrent and his story has grown polished in the telling.
But let's go back to the beginning, to Rodriguez's beginnings.
William Rodriguez grew up in Puerto Rico, where he was hired as a magician's assistant by one James Randi, the famous debunker of pseudo-science.
Using the name Roudy, Rodriguez exposed faith healers and psychics and was even featured on TV escaping from a chained straightjacket while hanging from a burning rope.
But after emigrating to New York, he discovered there was a lot of competition in the magic business, and to keep the wolf from the door he took a temporary job at the World Trade Centre.
He ended up staying there for 20 years, little realising how dramatically his employment would be terminated.
Rodriguez will never forget the chaos and hysteria that ensued after the first explosion, which seemed to emanate from the building's very foundations.
"I was talking to my supervisor when I heard boom', very loud, and everybody in the room was pushed upwards," he says.
The impact shook the whole building, and everyone in the office - about 15 in all - started screaming.
There was worse to come. Suddenly a man came running into the room, shouting, "Explosion!
Explosion!"
The man was Felipe David, whose job, Rodriguez later discovered, was to replenish the vending machines. He had been standing in front of a lift about 400 yards from the office when a fireball had burst out of the lift shaft.
"His injuries were terrible," says Rodriguez. "All the skin had been burnt off his arms and it was hanging loosely like a flapping shirt sleeve. Parts of his face were missing, too.
"Now you tell me how an explosion from a jet liner could have burnt a man 90 floors down within seconds of impact?"
Lifting the man onto his shoulder, Rodriguez began to make his way to the exit, urging his fellow workers to follow him. But after taking David to a waiting ambulance, he then ignored the shouts of police officers and raced back to the building.
He didn't have far to look to find people in trouble - this time, two victims trapped between two levels in a lift which was rapidly filling with water.
The water was already round their waists and he thought he had no hope of reaching them. But then a silent prayer was answered when he suddenly remembered that ladders were kept in a nearby store cupboard.
Grabbing the longest of the three (by some miracle, it was not chained to the wall like the others), he prized open the lift doors with the help of another man and rescued the two trapped people from a certain watery grave. Then he carried them outside to safety and returned once again to the building.
By this time, firefighters had arrived at the scene.
Rodriguez quickly led them up the stairwell of the North Tower, unlocking doors with a master key, one of only five that opened every door in the building.
And then a series of strange things happened which remain unexplained to this day.
As they ascended the stairwell, they heard a series of massive explosions between the 20th and 30th floors. Then, on the 33rd floor, they heard what sounded like heavy equipment being dragged across the level above.
This was particularly puzzling because Rodriguez knew the 34th floor was empty and had been off limits for weeks due to a construction project.
But on they went, until, at the 39th floor, Rodriguez was ordered to turn back by the firefighters.
It was as he began his descent that he heard the second aircraft hit the South Tower.
Reaching ground level, he was confronted by what looked like a war zone.
The metal-framed front doors to the building had been blown out, leaving a gaping chasm, and the bottoms of the lift doors had been blown open, suggesting a powerful explosion from the basement.
Then the unthinkable happened. Someone yelled, "Don't look back," and he realised the building was coming down.
Frantically looking for cover, Rodriguez raced to the first thing he saw - a fire engine standing only metres away.
"I slid right under the vehicle and then the building collapsed on top of me," he says. "I felt sure I was going to die."
But, of course, he didn't. Instead, remembering the survival training drummed into him as a magician's apprentice, he slowed his breathing and tried to relax as much as possible.
"The only think I could think about was my mother. I didn't want her to have the pain of identifying my mangled body parts. I kept thinking: Oh God, I will never be recognised and my mother won't know who I am.' "
He had reason to worry. As he had raced to the fire truck, he had seen the bodies of what became known as the "jumpers" - the poor souls who had jumped from the building to escape an even worse death inside.
"Their bodies had deteriorated on impact and all you could see were body masses," he says.
Thankfully, for the second time that day his prayer was answered. Two film crews had spotted him running for cover moments before the collapse, and directed rescue services to the very spot where he lay.
Four-and-a-half hours later, he was breathing fresh air again and searching for victims. There wasn't a scratch on his body.
Overnight, Rodriguez was feted as a hero and became a symbol of 9/11.
He was interviewed on countless TV stations and later received a National Hero Award from the Senate of Puerto Rico.
As the months wore on, he became an activist, fighting for tax relief for victims of terrorism, and scholarship programmes for children who had lost their parents on 9/11.
He also helped to set up family support groups and worked on a financial repair programme for victims of September 11.
It wasn't long before the Republicans recognised the power of his appeal, not least to the all important Hispanic community which held 30 million votes in its sway. They asked him to run for office, sending him to train at the Governing Institute to learn about politics.
But all the while questions were nagging away at the back of his mind.
What had caused the explosion that he and countless others had heard in the basement? And why had the Twin Towers fallen so quickly - "like a controlled demolition", as Rodriguez describes it?
The official version was that they had collapsed because their steel columns had melted in the heat from the fuel fires of the two crashed aircraft.
But the science didn't stand up. Steel doesn't melt until it reaches 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit, and open fires of jet fuel - such as those in the Twin Towers inferno - can't rise above 1,700 degrees.
Could it be explosions in the basement helped the Twin Towers on their way?
The makers of Loose Change certainly seem to think so, and show clip after clip of the towers coming down to loud and distinct bangs.
But there were other unanswered questions.
Why were no military aircraft scrambled in time to head off the attacks and why did the President, sitting in a school classroom, show little reaction when an aide told him a second aircraft had crashed into the Twin Towers?
Had he known about it all along?
These were just some of the questions Americans wanted answered, and Rodriguez was among the many who demanded a formal investigation - which ultimately became the 9/11 Commission.
But the Bush administration resisted, arguing they didn't need an inquiry because they already knew who had done it. And that, says Rodriguez, was an affront to every victim of 9/11 and to all their families.
"That's when we knew they were politicising the tragedy."
Rodriguez was one of the last to testify to the Commission and the only witness to speak behind closed doors.
When I ask why, he laughs and says: "Thank you.
I have been asking the same question. Every other testimony was shown on TV. Everyone else had a public hearing."
The interview process was a travesty, he says. They didn't call one of his 20 expert witnesses and his account was edited out of the Commission's report.
"My allegations were never investigated and the perpetrators never caught. The people they did question - the chiefs of the fire and police departments - weren't even in the building. It was a complete whitewash."
In desperation, Rodriguez turned to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which was investigating the collapse of the World Trade Centre, promulgating his theory about the explosion in the basement.
He alleges his claims were rebuffed.
NIST said the explosion might have been caused by a fireball travelling from the aircraft down the central lift shaft. In that case, replied Rodriguez, why were the two people he rescued from the lift not burnt to death?
He also turned to the FBI, but they were wholly uninterested in what he had to say, even when he reported he'd seen a mystery man - "possibly one of the hijackers, although we don't know whether he was attached to the government" - asking questions about the layout of the complex just a few months before the attack.
Dissatisfied, he filed a civil lawsuit against the Bush administration in 2004, claiming a conspiracy.
The government filed a motion in turn, dismissing the case on the grounds of national security.
Rodriguez and his team then responded by filing an affidavit alleging the defendants "had knowledge that the attacks were impending but failed to take countermeasures because they desired such attacks to occur".
In 2005, his attorney also proposed a 9/11 petition to the UN, calling for a resolution of the UN General Assembly for an independent September 11 truth commission.
Needless to say, this has made Rodriguez many enemies and he alleges his apartment has been broken into and his laptop stolen. He has also been placed on the no-fly list.
He laughs. "I'm a national hero but I'm on the no-fly list, which means every time I want to fly, the authorities put me in a room and ask me questions.
"Do I fear for my life? Of course. Several experts in the intelligence and security fields have told me to be careful, and say an attack could come from anywhere at any time."
But he won't give up. He has received a "positive"
response from the British people, who are angry that British soldiers' lives have been lost on the strength of a "fallacy". And he knows support for his cause is growing.
He's even thinking of running as an independent political candidate. But in the meantime, he has something more tangible to lift the gloom. He is going to be a father.
"I married a year ago - to an American reporter, as a matter of fact. And my wife's doctor broke the news.
"He said, Congratulations. You're expecting. And the due date is September 11.' "When I started crying, he said: Oh, it's your first baby.' But my wife said: No, you don't understand. This is the janitor from the World Trade Centre.' And then the doctor started crying, too.
Anti-war icon Cindy Sheehan has gone public on her support for the 9/11 truth movement after she told a radio show that the collapse of the twin towers looked like a controlled demolition and that there should be a new investigation into the terrorist attacks.
Sheehan, who made headlines this week after she distanced herself from the Democratic party and the establishment left, joined Alex Jones to share her views on her skepticism towards the official 9/11 story.
Sheehan said her decision to desert the Democrats was sparked last week when the Iraq war funding bill was passed and it was at this point she realized the Democrats had co-opted her simply to help them regain Congress and that they had no interest in ending the war.
Sheehan attacked Hillary Clinton as a "warhawk and a "warmonger" and said there was very little distinction between her and John McCain or Rudy Giuliani.
On 9/11, Sheehan expressed her support for the Jersey Girl's petition, which calls for a new independent investigation of the terrorist attacks, slamming the 9/11 Commission Report as a "total travesty and a smokescreen."
"George Bush and Dick Cheney held hands and testified behind closed doors, not under oath," said Sheehan, adding, "There are many things that just don't add up on that day."
Sheehan questioned why U.S. air defenses were distracted by drills and exercises scheduled for the morning of 9/11 and why standard operating procedure for intercepting errant aircraft was not followed for the first and only time in history.
Speaking on the collapse of the twin towers, Sheehan stated, "It does look to me like a controlled demolition - I'm not an expert - but it does look to me like a controlled demolition - I'm looking at common sense."
"I do see some very high profile people saying it was an inside job," concluded Sheehan.
Sheehan walks for US Congress to fire traitor Nancy Pelosi - Cindy Sheehan, the slain soldier's mother whose attacks on President Bush made her a darling of the anti-war movement, has a new target: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Sheehan, who announced in late May that she was departing the peace movement, said she decided to run against Pelosi unless the congresswoman moves to oust Bush in the next two weeks. "I think all politicians should be held accountable," Sheehan told The Associated Press on Sunday. "Democrats and Americans feel betrayed by the Democratic leadership. We hired them to bring an end to the war." Sheehan said she will run as an independent against the San Francisco Democrat in 2008 if Pelosi does not file articles of impeachment against Bush by July 23. That's when Sheehan and her supporters are to arrive in Washington, D.C., after a 13-day caravan and walking tour starting from the group's war protest site near Bush's Crawford ranch. Although Sheehan has never held public office, she said she already has the name recognition and would not have to run against Pelosi in a primary. "I would give her a run for her money," Sheehan said. Sheehan, who turns 50 on Tuesday, said Bush should be impeached because she believes he misled the public about the reasons for going to war, violated the Geneva Convention by torturing detainees and crossed the line by commuting the prison sentence of former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. She said other grounds for impeachment are the domestic spying program and the "inadequate and tragic" response to Hurricane Katrina. Sheehan plans her official candidacy announcement Tuesday. Sheehan recently said she was leaving the Democratic Party because it "caved" into the president. Last week, she announced her caravan to Washington, which she calls the "people's accountability movement."
Sheehan: Distinct Chance Of Staged Attack, Martial Law - Sheehan spoke to The Alex Jones Show as she prepares to embark on a two week trek towards Washington to confront Pelosi. "I definitely think that is a distinct possibility, that there will be some kind of attack whether it's manufactured or real....I think it's really possible that these people will do that - why would he [Bush] put in that presidential directive if he didn't need to use it - I think it's really really frightening," Sheehan said. "Does anybody think that [Bush's] recent presidential decision directive wasn't for declaring martial law and suspending elections - that's why they have to be stopped," added Sheehan. "The culture of corruption doesn't stop at the Republican party and people need to realize that Democrats are not our saviors," said Sheehan. "Over 600 soldiers have died since the Democrats took over power and many thousands of Iraqis, the blood is on their hands, they have the power to stop it and support our troops, support the people of Iraq, save America from more threats from the Bush administration and get them out of power," added the anti-war activist.
911 Prewarnings - Building 7 Collapse - Flight 77 and the Pentagon - Israeli Involvement - United Airlines Put-options - War Games - Atta and the $100,000 - 9/11 Terrorists Still Alive. A threshold concept facing Americans is the possibility that the 9/11 Commission Report was on many levels a cover-up for the failure of the US government to prevent the tragedy. Deeper past the threshold is the idea that the report failed to address sources of assistance to the terrorists. Investigations into this area might have led to a conclusion that elements of various governments — including our own — not only knew about the attacks in advance, but may have helped facilitate their implementation. The idea that someone in the Government of the United States may have contributed support to such a horrific attack is inconceivable to many. It is a threshold concept that is so frightening that it brings up a state of mind akin to complete unbelievably.
Thank you for contacting Customer Relations. I am pleased to have the opportunity to assist you. That is correct we do not have phones on our Boeing 757. The passengers on flight 77 used their own personal cellular phones to make out calls during the terrorist attack. However, the pilots are able to stay in constant contact with the Air Traffic Control tower.

That headline, that question is why we’re here in Judge Hellerstein’s courtroom, this time 14D, half the size of the room for last week’s hearing. Of course, the usual suspects have been rounded up, lawyers for the airlines, the plaintiffs, a US attorney, fewer citizen onlookers, including myself, notebook open. Yet what I will hear will leave me as chagrined as June 14’s double-sized gathering reported in The 9/11 Victim’s Compensation Fund: cui bono?
This time, Judge Hellerstein is to announce a number of remaining victims’ cases to be tried for victims’ families that have not accepted fund money, but wish to take their loved one’s case to court for further inquiry, perhaps even for justice. Judge Hellerstein reminds the room that “the value of settling [for the money] has run its course.” And so? We are left with those who see some principle to stand for in a court trial, in discovery. In questioning how and why, for instance, their loved ones, how nearly 3,000, were murdered, especially given a $50 billion dollar intelligence system and a $500 billion defense budget -- all of which was totally inoperable on 9/11.
Somehow, it seems that the money won’t help those folks, those holdouts, get through the day and over the loss. Yet despite that fact, the good judge tells us, admitting it will probably come back to haunt him, “that money is the universal lubricant.” Ah yes, so let’s get to the greasing and make things turn. It’s going on six years since 9/11 and these hearings are still around.
That reminder leads the judge to a somber lecture that “life is short. And out of the mundane you can fashion something different, a memory for a different degree of pain for each person. Fashion a life beyond the pain. In fact, what is the fairest, most efficient way to get on with our lives? And if the opportunity comes, take it. We are not trying to cut short values or justice. But we have to get past 9/11. Let it go.” That is, despite the unanswered questions, despite these hearings, despite the massive sway of the media to swallow it all and buy the myth like a suit.
Then, rather than announce the cases chosen, the good judge asks both teams of lawyers what is the quickest, most efficient way to have some cases heard and -- subtext -- the whole bunch over with, “a wrap” as they say in the film business. Would it be, as one attorney suggested “to have the folks least uncomfortable, those willing to go forward,” to have their cases selected. Or would it have to do with those in the most manageable jurisdictions? Or should it be by the case itself, the individuals with fewer legal knots, less “discovery” needed, fewer people to grumble for them, fewer children?
Yet, when another lawyer reminds the judge, who has actually thrown out a name himself, Mariani, that is Mrs. Ellen Mariani, by the way the first litigant ever in the fund’s history. And then the lawyer suggests that Miss Mariani is not willing to appear in court. But that is Miss Mariani he is speaking of, the step-daughter of Mrs. Mariani, the original litigant, whose name was taken off her own case, and replaced by her step-daughter’s, Miss Mariani or Loren Peters. Is a lawyer of his accomplishment not aware of who is who?
In fact, when this hour and a half of kangaroo is over, I go over to him and ask him. As some of his distinguished colleagues look on, I ask if he has willfully mistaken Miss Mariani, who was party to having Mrs. Mariani’s name removed from her own two suits, one against the government, one against United Airlines, and replaced with her own, Loren Peters? Has he found a convenient obfuscation to silence the one voice that has cried the longest and the loudest for a trial in a court of law to find out what went wrong on that day to take her husband’s life? Yes, that voice is, was, and will be, Mrs. Mariani.
This in spite of the back-room dealings aided and abetted by Greenberg-Traurig lawyers, and various famous and infamous legal beagles to bring Miss Mariani into the case, and have Mrs. Mariani vanish in obscurity. But here is one person who remembers, who respectfully reminds, who respectfully stands perhaps for thousands, perhaps millions who remember who said what first, and what will not be surgically removed with a slip of the tongue, if that is all it was, though I doubt it. The history is long and complex as Tom Flocco will tell you in NH widow fights 9/11 estate challenge linked to President Bush.
If you want to join Torin in this fight or ask him a question, he can be heard every Saturday and Sunday on the We The People Radio Network from 12 to 2 pm central.
Former Dallas Cowboys Super-Bowl winner and five time Pro Bowler Mark Stepnoski said in a radio interview yesterday that anybody who still believes the official story of 9/11 is either incredibly naive or in complete denial.
Stepnoski went public in an interview with the Pennsylvania based Erie-Times newspaper on Sunday, but during an interview on The Alex Jones Show he went further and revealed that his questions about 9/11 began on the very day of the attacks.
"I just remember at the time thinking to myself - is this really a terrorist attack on us by a foreign nation or is this a false flag operation being conducted by our government," said Stepnoski, adding that he had carefully studied the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, and the Oklahoma City bombing, which led him to immediately doubt the official story.
"I noticed there were a lot of parallels between 9/11 and that event (Oklahoma City bombing), bombs being found in the building, scientists coming out and saying that an ammonium nitrate bomb could never cause that much damage," said the former NFL star.
"Studying that time period, the Vietnam war, Watergate, all these things that signified cover-up by the government - as time moves on you become more and more aware as a citizen that secrecy is the rule of the day with our government and any time anything revelatory comes to light regarding nefarious activities of our government it's immediately discredited and hushed up," said Stepnoski, praising the role of the alternative media for providing true sources of information that can't be sanitized.
Stepnoski said there were too many instances of foreknowledge regarding 9/11 to be discounted, citing how public officials got warnings not to fly on the eve of the attacks.
"When you think about the similarities to the Oklahoma City bombing, that day the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearm agents who were employed in that building didn't show up for work - the same way that John Ashcroft got a tip not to fly commercially before 11, the same way Willie Brown got a tip not to fly beforehand," said Stepnoski.
"When you listen to the transcripts of the air traffic controllers on the day of 9/11, the first words out of their mouth was 'is this live or is this an exercise'" said Stepnoski, referring to the multiple exercises that were taking place that dovetailed 9/11 on that very morning.
"Once people become familiar with the protocol that exists, it's readily apparent that the protocol was broken on that day and the events that happened on that day, the way they transpired, that is not commonplace," said Stepnoski, citing NORAD's lack of response in intercepting the errant aircraft.
"It just goes without saying - it was an anomaly, things were purposefully altered that day," he said.
The former Super Bowl champion then discussed the geopolitical maneuverings that preceded 9/11 and gave the Neo-Cons the pretext to launch the attack.
"Our military is now used basically as an instrument to secure and protect oil supplies because that is the lifeblood of our economy," said Stepnoski, adding, "Sixty per cent of the recoverable oil in the world is in the middle east - it's in a piece of land roughly the size of Texas, and that's why I believe Dick Cheney, even though he was subpoenaed several times, he would not release the records from his energy task force in 2001 because that's exactly what was discussed in that meeting."
Stepnoski discussed what he termed the "threshold concept," where people arrive at a point where they had gathered enough information to make the leap beyond the parameters of thinking that have been set for them by the consensus.
"When you look at the information that's out there and the credibility of the sources - anybody now who still believes the official story of 9/11 is either incredibly naive or is exhibiting complete and total denial," said Stepnoski.
Nearly two-thirds of Americans think it is possible that some federal officials had specific warnings of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, but chose to ignore those warnings, according to a Scripps Howard News Service/Ohio University poll.
A national survey of 811 adult residents of the United States conducted by Scripps and Ohio University found that more than a third believe in a broad smorgasbord of conspiracy theories including the attacks, international plots to rig oil prices, the plot to assassinate President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and the government's knowledge of intelligent life from other worlds.
The high percentage is a manifestation, some say, of an American public that increasingly distrusts the federal government.
"You wouldn't have gotten these numbers a year or two after the attacks themselves," said University of Florida law professor Mark Fenster. "You've got an increasingly disaffected public that is unhappy with the administration."
Fenster, author of the book "Conspiracy Theories: Secrecy and Power in American Culture," attributed the high percentage in part to the findings of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States (also called the 9/11 Commission), which concluded federal officials failed to prevent the attacks, but did not have specific knowledge of the date of the attacks.
An earlier Scripps Howard/Ohio University survey, conducted in July 2006, revealed that more than one-third of Americans thought federal officials assisted in the 9/11 attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East.
"What (the recent survey) could mean is that people are thinking that the Bush administration is incompetent, that there were warnings out there and they chose to put their attention on other things," Fenster said.
At a time when the price of crude oil has neared $100 per barrel, 81 percent of Americans also said it was "somewhat likely" or "very likely" that oil companies conspire to keep the price of gasoline high.
"It shows that the oil companies are not trusted by a lot of people," said Tyson Slocum, director of the Energy Program of Public Citizen, the consumer watchdog organization founded by Ralph Nader.
Record-breaking quarterly profits stir the pot, too.
"People look at the huge profits and put two and two together," he said. "'Those high prices I'm paying are fueling those profits.'"
Forty-two percent of the American public still thinks some people in the federal government might have known about the assassination of Kennedy in advance.
The survey was conducted by telephone Sept. 24 to Oct. 10 among 811 adult residents of the United States who were selected at random. The survey was conducted by the Scripps Survey Research Center at Ohio University under a grant from the Scripps Howard Foundation and has a margin of error of about 4 percent.
Judge Andrew Napolitano is one of American media’s most tenacious defenders of Americans' rights. His official title at Fox News, where he appears regularly on Fox and Friends and The Big Story, is “Senior Judicial Analyst.” But at the often Bush-besotted network, the decidedly skeptical Napolitano thinks of himself more as “House Civil Libertarian.”
He’s the youngest life-tenured Superior Court judge in New Jersey history, and a former teacher of constitutional law at Seton Hall Law School. He also writes books alerting Americans to how their own government threatens their liberties, including The Constitution in Exile and Constitutional Chaos: What Happens When the Government Breaks Its Own Laws. Nick Gillespie interviewed Napolitano for our March 2005 issue.
Reason: The Patriot Act seems to be a special bete noire of yours. What’s the problem with it?
Napolitano: The Patriot Act’s two most principle constitutional errors are an assault on the Fourth Amendment, and on the First. It permits federal agents to write their own search warrants [under the name “national security letters”] with no judge having examined evidence and agreed that it’s likely that the person or thing the government wants to search will reveal evidence of a crime.
Remember that the British government permitted its soldiers to execute self-written search warrants. They called them “writs of assistance,” and they were one of the last straws that caused American colonist to rebel. It’s bitterly ironic that 230 years later a popularly elected government would authorize its own agents to do the same thing that when a monarchy did it, we fought a war of rebellion in reaction—which we won!
Not only that, but the Patriot Act makes it a felony for the recipient of a self-written search warrant to reveal it to anyone. The Patriot Act allows [agents] to serve self-written search warrants on financial institutions, and the Intelligence Authorization Act of 2004 in Orwellian language defines that to include in addition to banks, also delis, bodegas, restaurants, hotels, doctors' offices, lawyers’ offices, telecoms, HMOs, hospitals, casinos, jewelry dealers, automobile dealers, boat dealers, and that great financial institution to which we all would repose our fortunes, the post office.
So FBI agents can write their own search warrant with just the permission of their superior, no judge at all, nobody at the main Department of Justice, and serve it essentially on any entity they want, and if they serve this search warrant on your doctor, lawyer, grocer, or mailman, and that doctor, lawyer, grocer, or mailman tells you they received it, then that doctor, lawyer, grocer, or mailman, can be prosecuted for a felony, face five years in jail. What part of the First Amendment’s “Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech” do they not understand?
This creates a Soviet-style conundrum for the recipient, who can’t even tell his or her lawyer or general counsel about getting the search warrant. You can’t hire outside counsel to challenge it, you can’t mention it to your spouse on the pillow, to your priest in confession—not even to a federal judge in a federal courtroom where all language except perjury should be permitted. This is a conundrum the likes of which government has never visited even under the Alien and Sedition Act. If they prosecuted you for criticizing [President John] Adams you could complain about it to your heart’s content without being charged with another crime.
Reason: The Patriot Act was sold as a necessary protection from terror. How has that worked out?
Napolitano: How many people has the DOJ convicted in a jury trial for terrorism based on evidence obtained from the Patriot Act? Zero. They’ve gotten people to plead guilty, to fold, and convicted many on drug trafficking, white slavery, prostitution, gambling, and political corruption, but haven’t gotten a single [terror] case where they presented evidence in a public court before a judge and jury and the jury found a defendant guilty under evidence obtained under Patriot Act.
The most sinful aspect of its passage was how members of the House were not permitted to read it. It was posted on the House Intranet for 15 min [before the vote] and it’s 315 pages long. I read it twice, and it took me 20 hours each time. And you need in front of you not just it, but lots of other statutes, the full U.S. criminal code, to process it. It does lots of amending of other statutes, so you need to reread [those] statues to figure out what government has done by amending that statute.
I was speaking in the Midwest—I don’t want to tell you where, somewhere in the great Heartland—two weeks ago and at the end of my speech, after I said many of these things I’m saying here and in my book, there was a congressman in the audience. He and I socialized a bit, and he said, “Judge, I’m a little ill at ease. I didn’t know until hearing you tonight that the Patriot Act permitted self-written search warrants and criminalized speech about receiving them, and I voted for it twice.”
And I said—knowing how he was going to answer—I asked, “Didn’t you read it? You voted on it.” No, he didn’t have time, he only read the summary. And he didn’t remember the summary talking about self-written search warrants and criminalized speech. He told me many of his colleagues were in the same situation. I said, “WRONG—all your colleagues are in the same situation! No one in the House except maybe leadership read the Patriot Act you voted on!” It’s abominable for the government to tamper with our basic liberties—but it’s inconceivable that they would do so without any debate.
Another platform for that undercurrent is the campaign of Ron Paul. Congressman Paul has rejuvenated almost single-handedly the Goldwater wing of the GOP. Now Reagan tried, before [James] Baker and his boys advised him on how to behave. Now, I loved the man, but if you look at his record and rhetoric, they are two different things. But Ron Paul had made it legitimate again for small government, maximum individual liberty, Goldwater Republicans to come forth and complain about big government, and I am the recipient of lots of those complaints.
The president had said he believes in natural rights. Unfortunately when he signs these bills that take away our rights, he reveals he either doesn’t know what he’s doing or he doesn’t really believe in natural rights. The Patriot Act is not only unconstitutional, it’s unnatural, since it purports to take away that which naturally belongs to us.
Reason: In chapter six, you discuss the very alarming “National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 20/51” and the John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007. What’s so bad about them?
Napolitano: Those basically allow the president to declare martial law whenever he thinks there’s a state of emergency. Then he—he or she—can use the military to enforce ordinary criminal law and even suspend the authority of state criminal enforcement agencies. This is wildly, fantastically unconstitutional because it allows one human being by declaring emergency–like Pervez Musharraf just did—to suspend rights guaranteed by the Constitution, and Americans don’t even know; there was very little debate or awareness of this.
Bill O’Reilly defended Bush on his declaration of three Americans as enemy combatants, before the Supreme Court told him he can’t do it—and Bush refused to even say why—but Bill said “I trust him, it’s good for him to do that.”
I asked him, “Would you give that power to Hillary Clinton? She could declare you an enemy combatant and dispatch you to Guantanamo.” He just said, “Would you come and visit?” I said, “No….they’d keep me down there too!”
So many of my Fox colleagues, whom I love working with, have such trust and faith in the heart and head of President Bush. But look at the calendar: He’ll be Mr. Bush in 14 months, and unless it’s Ron Paul, God knows what his successor will do with the powers Congress had purported to give him. And I say “purported” because they don’t have the right to actually do all the extraconstitutional things they’ve done.
Batman The Dark Knight 9/11 Truth 2001 and 2008 - No Batjet crashed into a skyscraper in The Dark Knight movie, so this official movie poster is referring to the Book 2 of DK2, written weeks BEFORE 9/11/2001. Batman assassinated the president of the United States, George W Bush, er, Dick Cheney, er, Lex Luthor, using unmanned aerial vehicles, explosive controlled demolitions and THERMITE. Can you take a hint? Was Heath Ledger murdered in an Illuminati ritual? Batman brags that he is a terrorist assassinating the US secretary of state and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff at the Pentagon. Was The Dark Knight a training textbook for MKULTRA suicide bombers on 9/11? Watch this video to discover who the Joker really is...
"I kicked myself when it initially happened that the light didn't go off but I was so shocked that this thing had even taken place that I apologize for not being more aware. When I finally did watch Loose Change, I went through every emotion you could imagine, from laughing, crying, getting sick to my stomach, to the whole emotional thing. To me questions haven't been answered and are not being answered about 9/11. Two planes struck two buildings....but how is it that a third building fell 5 hours later? How could this building just implode into its own footprint 5 hours later - that's my first question - the 9/11 Commission didn't even devote one page to that in their big volume of investigation. How could those buildings fall at the speed of gravity - if you put a stopwatch on them both of those World Trade Center buildings were on the ground in ten seconds - how can that be? If you took a billiard ball and dropped it from the height of the World Trade Center in a vacuum it would hit the ground in 9.3 seconds and if you took that same billiard ball and dropped it 10 stories at a time and merely stopped it and started it it would take 30 seconds - if you dropped it every floor of the World Trade Center to the ground, simply stopping and starting it on gravity it would take over 100 seconds to reach the ground. Jet fuel is four fifths kerosene - which is not a hot burning fuel - and they wanted us to believe it melted these steel structured girders and caused these buildings to pancake collapse to the ground. I was on the site within two weeks after it happened and I saw none of these pancakes - wouldn't they all be piled up in a huge mass on the ground and yet everything was blown into dust - when you look at it from that aspect none of it makes any sense. Never before in the annuls of history has a fire caused a steel structure building to fall to the ground like these two did. Upon looking at the film in super-slow motion and the way the buildings fell and comparing that to the way that they do like a controlled demolition of a hotel in Las Vegas, they both fell identical. I did watch the film of Building 7 going down and in my opinion there's no doubt that that building was brought down with demolition. When I was watching Loose Change with a friend of mine - he happens to work for a company that helps build the Boeing airplanes and they said that when the engines completely disappeared and were destroyed, his response was, excuse my French - bullshit! I turned to him and said why and he said because they're made of titanium steel - they can't disintegrate. We don't want to lose our country, after all it's still our country and until they put us down we have the power."

"An elite U.S. Army study center has devised a plan for enforcing a major Israeli-Palestinian peace accord that would require about 20,000 well-armed troops stationed throughout Israel and a newly created Palestinian state. But a 68-page paper by the Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) does provide a look at the daunting task any international peacekeeping force would face if the United Nations authorized it, and Israel and the Palestinians ever reached a peace agreement. Located at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., the School for Advanced Military Studies is both a training ground and a think tank for some of the Army's brightest officers. Officials say the Army chief of staff, and sometimes the Joint Chiefs of Staff, ask SAMS to develop contingency plans for future military operations. The exercise was done by 60 officers dubbed "Jedi Knights," as all second-year SAMS students are nicknamed. The SAMS paper attempts to predict events in the first year of a peace-enforcement operation, and sees possible dangers for U.S. troops from both sides. Of the MOSSAD, the Israeli intelligence service, the SAMS officers say: 'Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act.'"

"A former Navy attorney who helped lead the military investigation of the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty that killed 34 American servicemen says former President Lyndon Johnson and his defense secretary, Robert McNamara, ordered that the inquiry conclude the incident was an accident. In a signed affidavit released at a Capitol Hill news conference, retired Capt. Ward Boston said Johnson and McNamara told those heading the Navy's inquiry to 'conclude that the attack was a case of 'mistaken identity' despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.' It was "one of the classic all-American cover-ups," said retired Admiral Thomas Moorer, a former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman who spent a year investigating the attack as part of an independent panel he formed with other former military officials. The panel also included a former US ambassador to Saudi Arabia, James Akins. 'Why would our government put Israel's interests ahead of our own?' Moorer asked from his wheelchair at the news conference. He was chief of naval operations at the time of the attack. Moorer, who has long held that the attack was a deliberate act, wants Congress to investigate."

"Speaking at the Campus Progress journalism conference earlier this month, Seymour Hersh — a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist for The New Yorker — revealed that Bush administration officials held a meeting recently in the Vice President’s office to discuss ways to provoke a war with Iran. In Hersh’s most recent article, he reports that this meeting occurred in the wake of the overblown incident in the Strait of Hormuz, when a U.S. carrier almost shot at a few small Iranian speedboats. The “meeting took place in the Vice-President’s office. ‘The subject was how to create a casus belli between Tehran and Washington,’” according to one of Hersh’s sources. Hersh explained that, during the meeting in Cheney’s office, an idea was considered to dress up Navy Seals as Iranians, put them on fake Iranian speedboats, and shoot at them. HERSH: 'There was a dozen ideas proffered about how to trigger a war. The one that interested me the most was why don’t we build — we in our shipyard — build four or five boats that look like Iranian PT boats. Put Navy seals on them with a lot of arms. And next time one of our boats goes to the Straits of Hormuz, start a shoot-up. Might cost some lives. And it was rejected because you can’t have Americans killing Americans.'"

"The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, four princes and other Saudi entities are immune from a lawsuit filed by victims of the September 11 attacks and their families alleging they gave material support to al Qaeda, a federal appeals court ruled on Thursday. The ruling by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan upheld a 2006 ruling by U.S. District Judge Richard Casey dismissing a claim against Saudi Arabia, a Saudi charity, four princes and a Saudi banker of providing material support to al Qaeda before the September 11 attacks. The victims and their families argued that because the defendants gave money to Muslim charities that in turn gave money to al Qaeda, they should be held responsible for helping to finance the attacks. The appeals court found that the defendants are protected under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. The court also noted that exceptions to the immunity rule do not apply because Saudi Arabia has not been designated a state sponsor of terrorism by the U.S. State Department."

George W Bush Impeachment by Congress
"Resolved, that President George W. Bush be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate: Articles of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against President George W. Bush for high crimes and misdemeanors. In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has committed the following abuses of power.
ARTICLE 33 - In his conduct while President of the United States, George W. Bush, in violation of his constitutional oath to faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty under Article II, Section 3 of the Constitution "to take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” has both personally and acting through his agents and subordinates, together with the Vice President, failed in his Constitutional duties to take proper steps to protect the nation prior to September 11, 2001.... Again, there is no evidence that the president held any meetings or took any action to deal with the threats of such attacks. In all of these actions and decisions, President George W. Bush has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President, and subversive of constitutional government, to the prejudice of the cause of law and justice and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States. Wherefore, President George W. Bush, by such conduct, is guilty of an impeachable offense warranting removal from office."

"We, the undersigned citizens of Canada draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, scientific and eyewitness evidence shows that the 9/11 Commission Report is a fraudulent document and that those behind the report are consciously or unconsciously guilty of covering up what happened on 9/11/2001. This evidence overwhelmingly supports the conclusion that World Trade Center Towers 1, 2 and 7 were brought down by demolition explosives and that the official theory of the towers collapsing from the airplanes and the ensuing fires is irrefutably false. We further believe that elements within the US government were complicit in the murder of thousands of people on 9/11/2001. This event brought Canada into the so-called “War on Terror,” it changed our domestic and foreign policies for the worse, and it will continue to have negative consequences for us all if we refuse to look at the facts. THEREFORE, your petitioners call upon Parliament to: (1) Immediately launch its own investigation into the events of 9/11/2001 on behalf of the 24 Canadian citizens murdered in New York City. (2) Act lawfully on the findings of its own investigation by helping to pursue the guilty parties in the international courts."

Joseph Dwyer before his suicide in 2008
"The March 2003 image became one of the most iconic of the U.S. invasion of Iraq: that of a bespectacled American soldier carrying an Iraqi child to safety. The photograph of Army Pfc. Joseph Dwyer was used by news outlets around the world. After being lionized by many as the human face of the U.S. effort to rebuild a troubled Iraq, Dwyer brought the battlefield home with him, often grappling violently with delusions that he was being hunted by Iraqi killers. His internal terror got so bad that, in 2005, the Long Island native shot up his El Paso, Texas, apartment and held police at bay for three hours with a 9 mm handgun, believing Iraqis were trying to get in. Last month, on June 28, police in Pinehurst, N.C., who responded to Dwyer's home, said the 31-year-old collapsed and died after abusing a computer cleaner aerosol. Dwyer, who joined the Army two days after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and was assigned to a unit of the 3rd Infantry Division that one officer called "the tip of the tip of the spear" in the first days of the U.S. invasion, had since then battled depression, sleeplessness and other anxieties that military doctors eventually attributed to post-traumatic stress disorder. The war that made him a hero at 26 haunted him to the last moments of his life. "He loved the picture, don't get me wrong, but he just couldn't get over the war," his mother, Maureen Dwyer, said by telephone from her home in Sunset Beach, N.C. "He wasn't Joseph anymore. Joseph never came home." "He went away to inpatient treatments; none of it worked," his father, Patrick Dennis Dwyer, said. After a PTSD program in Durham, N.C., turned Dwyer away because of a lack of space, Maureen Dwyer said her son received inpatient care for six months at the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center, beginning last August. After doctors discharged him in March, she said, his anxieties returned with such intensity that Dwyer's wife, Matina, 30, took their daughter, Meagan, 2, and moved out five days later. Maureen Dwyer said her son married a month before his deployment. She said her son began experiencing serious depression soon after his vehicle in Iraq was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade in 2003. The El Paso shooting was only one of several incidents there, according to interviews. He had a number of driving accidents when, he later told his family, he swerved to avoid imagined roadside bombs; he once crashed over a curb after imagining that a stopped car contained Iraqi assassins. After a July 2007 motorcycle accident, his parents tried, unsuccessfully, to have him committed to a mental institution. After his Iraq deployment ended and with increasing urgency, Dwyer's friends urged him to give up his firearms. His parents worried about his practice of pushing furniture against the interior walls of his Texas home, arming himself with knives and sleeping in a closet. He told his family he was suspicious of counseling. He complained that prescribed drugs were ineffective. They say he turned to sniffing Dust-Off computer cleaner to drug himself to sleep. On June 28, Dwyer called for a taxi to take him to the hospital, but he was too weak to open the door. Breaking through, Pinehurst police Lt. Michael Wilson - who said he had been to the apartment before for earlier incidents - found Dwyer on the floor, coherent but unable to walk. Within minutes, Dwyer was dead. Dressed in his Army uniform, Dwyer was buried Wednesday at Sandhills State Veterans Cemetery, after a Roman Catholic funeral."

"A new U.N. Human Rights Council official assigned to monitor Israel is calling for an official commission to study the role neoconservatives may have played in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. On March 26, Richard Falk, Milbank professor of international law emeritus at Princeton University, was named by unanimous vote to a newly created position to report on human rights in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs. While Mr. Falk's specialty is human rights and international law, since the attacks in 2001, he has devoted some of his time to challenging what he calls the '9-11 official version.' On March 24 in an interview with a radio host and former University of Wisconsin professor, Dr Kevin Barrett, Mr. Falk said, 'It is possibly true that especially the neoconservatives thought there was a situation in the country and in the world where something had to happen to wake up the American people. Whether they are innocent about the contention that they made that something happen or not, I don't think we can answer definitively at this point. All we can say is there is a lot of grounds for suspicion, there should be an official investigation of the sort the 9/11 commission did not engage in and that the failure to do these things is cheating the American people and in some sense the people of the world of a greater confidence in what really happened than they presently possess.' One reason the Israelis are concerned about his appointment is that Mr. Falk has compared Israel's treatment of Palestinian Arabs to the Nazi treatment of Jews in the holocaust."

"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Ma'ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor." Netanyahu made the comments during a conference at Bar-Ilan University on the division of Jerusalem as part of a genocide, er, peace deal with the Palestinians who survived the slaughter. Meanwhile, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cast doubt over the veracity of the September 11 attacks Thursday, calling it a pretext to invade Afghanistan and Iraq. "Four or five years ago, a suspicious event occurred in New York. A building collapsed and they said that 3,000 people had been killed but never published their names," Ahmadinejad told Iranians in the holy city of Qom. "Under this pretext, the U.S. attacked Afghanistan and Iraq and since then, a million people have been killed only in Iraq."

KNOXVILLE, TENN - The ASS Con this weekend was the largest "press conference" yet for reporting 9/11 Truth. College professors, a Congressional candidate and USAF fighter pilot, a WTC hero, a WTC pro blogger TV host, news radio jocks, Hollywood directors and actors, and the world's richest home builder spoke in Los Angeles to a packed house of 1,200 truthseekers. Thousands more were turned away, due to inability to afford a stadium to seat everyone.
PNTV applauds RBN Radio and Dr Webster Tarpley PhD with their decision to follow the advice on this page, to broadcast live from the DC911Truth.org symposium in Washington DC, on November 11, 2006. This will also be posted free on RBN's archives. Thank you RBN and John Stadtmiller. The symposium is at Arlington Campus of George Mason University from 10am to 5pm on Saturday, 11 November 2006. Posted at 911Blogger.com.
Will future 9/11 conferences learn the lessons learned at ASS Con, such as the 9/11 Accountability: Strategies and Solutions Conference? Doubtful, judging by the lack of Press Passes and high price of admission. The "press" that did show up appeared to be Zionist provocateurs. And the fact that Alex Jones announced that week that he was paying his lawyers a lot of money to sue and destroy Republic Broadcasting Network. Jones already destroyed RBN's archives of American Scholars Symposium. The week after the con the FCC and FBI raided Jones' nemeses on pirate radio in Austin, Texas, who were affiliated with RBN. 9/11 Accountability con confessed on its website that it censors all reporting of the facts that anti-Semitic "Jews" and Israel led the massacres on 9/11, to falsely blame the Arab Semites: "As a result of the controversy surrounding Eric D. Williams, he has stepped down from involvement in the 9/11 Accountability Conference. The 911 Accountability Conference does not support Holocaust denial, nor does the 9/11 Truth Movement. No speaker listed here is known to have published works related to the Holocaust. We support and encourage an open and respectful exchange and dialogue among all persons concerning September 11, 2001." No TV coverage? No live radio broadcasts? Only token Muslims and minorities? Another Zionist exercise in containment, fronted by Patriots For Profit?

WTC 7 was never hit by an airliner nor by falling debris yet collapsed just like a Controlled Demolition by explosives, coincidentally after Jewish Australian WTC renter Larry Silverstein confessed on PBS TV America Rebuilds that he approved the "PULL" of WTC 7, which is defined by Webster's Dictionary as an intentional DEMOLITION. CIA HQ was in WTC 7, and Mafia mayor Sir Rudolf Giuliani Knight of the British Empire was named for likely promotion to CIA director. Silverstein profited by a $7-Billion insurance claim from the terrorism on 9/11/2001. Webster's Dictionary defined "TERRORISM" as "A MODE OF GOVERNMENT BY TERROR"
9/11 Eyewitness Barry Jennings in WTC7 - In exclusive video, NYEMA command bunker employee discusses seeing, hearing and feeling massive explosions in Building 7 before collapse of Twin Towers, and walking over dead bodies in WTC7
Loose Change 3 Update: Security officer details explosions inside WTC7 - The Alex Jones show welcomed Loose Change creators Dylan Avery and Jason Burmas to discuss an exclusive interview they have conducted with an individual (Barry Jennings) with high level security clearance who was inside the Office of Emergency Management in World Trade Center 7 and has descibed and detailed explosions inside the building prior to the collapse of any of the buildings at ground zero on 9/11. The interview, to be featured in the forthcoming Final Cut of Loose Change is currently under wraps but the creators have allowed some details to leak purely to protect themselves and the individual involved who has asked to remain anonymous until the film is released. "We subsequently went to the stairwell and were going down the stairs, when we reached the sixth floor, the landing that we were standing on gave way, there was an explosion and the landing gave way. I was left there hanging, I had to climb back up and now had to walk back up to the eighth floor. After getting to the eighth floor everything was dark." The individual in a second clip detailed hearing further explosions and then described what he saw when he got down to the lobby: "It was totally destroyed, it looked like King Kong had been through it and stepped on it and it was so destroyed i didn't know where I was. It was so destroyed that had to take me out through a hole in the wall, a makeshift hole I believe the fire department made to get me out." He was then told by firefighters to get twenty blocks away from the area because explosions were going off all over the World Trade Center complex. The key to this information is that the individual testifies this all happened BEFORE either tower collapsed, thus building 7 was at that point completely undamaged from any falling debris or resulting fires. It also means that explosions were witnessed in WTC7 up to eight hours before its collapse at around 5.30pm. Avery and Burmas, who played the two short clips of the interview prior to further analysis and more clips to be played on their own GCN radio show later tonight at 7pm CST, further described how the individual had witnessed dead bodies in the lobby of 7 and was told by the police not to look at them. What makes all this information even more explosive is the fact that this individual was interviewed by the 9/11 Commission as they conducted their so called investigation. Avery and Burmas successfully contacted the individual after discovering a TV interview he did on 9/11 while they were trawling through news footage from the day in research for the Final Cut. June 2007
WTC 7 Emergency Head Was Building Collapse Specialist - The former New York City chief emergency manager Jerome Hauer, whose office was the 23d floor bunker of WTC 7, was also a building collapse specialist, according to New York Times. Hauer was also Managing Director of Kroll Associates - the company that provided security for the WTC complex on 9/11 - and he also betrayed advance knowledge of the anthrax attacks a week before they happened. In a July 27 1999 NY Times article entitled What Could Go Wrong? It’s His Job to Know, Hauer is given a glowing write-up by journalist Randy Kennedy. “There is one story he tells in which this fascination is quite literal….But another illustration, a bit more metaphorical, is hard to miss when you walk into his office on the 23rd floor of 7 World Trade Center, otherwise known as ”the bunker,” the $13 million bulletproof, hurricane-proof, blackout-proof emergency crisis center opened by the city last month.” The article describes Hauer’s role, “As the city’s chief emergency manager, Mr. Hauer oversees the response to building collapses, of which there have been no shortage over the last three years.” “For much of his professional life, it has been the task of Jerome M. Hauer, 47, to know a lot about how things work so that when they stop working — when they fall down, when they get blown down or blown up, when they freeze or burst or burn out — he knows what to do. Like all self-described emergency junkies, he sits around all day thinking up horrifying ways for things to be destroyed and people to die and then hoping that all his plans stay on the shelf. If he were to update his resume, the ''types of emergencies handled'' category would read something like this: helicopter crash, subway fire, water main break, ice storm, heat wave, blackout, building collapse, building collapse, building collapse. His mother, Rose, a vice president for nursing at Beth Israel Hospital, helped him get a job in the hospital's morgue as what pathologists call a ''diener'' -- German for servant. ''As the junior guy,'' he explained, ''I was the one responsible for all the dirty work: cutting open the gut and cleaning it and pinning it and making it ready for the pathologist to review.''
And did he enjoy this? ''Well, it was fascinating. The first week was a shock. But I got used to it after a while, like anything else.'' In a city where many emergency services fiercely guard their own turf, the introduction of an umbrella office to coordinate these services has created a few crises in itself. In particular, Police Commissioner Howard Safir has been involved in a long-running turf war with Mr. Hauer over who gets to call the shots at many city emergencies.

PNTV broadcast Feb 17, 2007 - Replay of TERRORSTORM with introduction by Alex Jones at American Scholars Symposium
"Watched the C-SPAN version this weekend. Interesting. Raise hell. But I'm afraid the mainstream just can't handle a conspiracy theory of this magnitude. They are right that the New York Times is in on it, though, but not exactly like they think. The Times is now irrelevant, even though the TV talking heads still quote it from time to time. Anything to gain more traction in public opinion against Bush and co. is good, though. They have to be taken down. But there are plenty of high crimes and misdemeanors to go around, without having to prove that rogue intel wings were in on training the 9/11 hijackers.
I've already reported part of this story, the part about the CIA and FBI being connected to the hijackers through the drug trade in Central America and Florida. But it's just not a story frame that can be sustained. If true, America is over an done for. It may be anyway, but those with real money and power will find a way to prop it up..."
-Professor Glynn Wilson, University of Tennessee Knoxville (alma mater of the Loizeaux family, owners of Controlled Demolitions Inc bombers who were paid a $7-billion contract to "demolish" the World trade Center), Locust Fork Radio, LocustFork.net, email to John Lee at Pirate News
History Channel's The Wrecking Ball - In summer of 2001, Knoxville's Controlled Demolitions Inc demonstrate how they install Linear Cutting Devices to bomb 7,000 buildings. CDI was paid $7-Billion govt contract to "demolish" the World Trade Center. Plus Australian Jewish billionaire Larry Silverstein, confesses on PBS TV's America Rebuilds to agreeing with NY Fire Dept to bomb Wolrd Trade Center 7 with 100s of preinstalled bombs. Silverstein profited from the 9/11 terrorist bombings thanks to an uncontested $7-Billion insurance claim. Silverstein had only rented the entire WTC for 6 weeks
9/11 First Responder Heard WTC 7 Demolition Countdown - A 9/11 first responder has gone on the record to describe how he heard a demolition-style countdown precede the collapse of WTC 7, eyewitness testimony that dovetails with other EMT's and rescue personnel who were also told that Building 7 was going to be "brought down". Earlier this year, we reported on the testimony of an anonymous EMT named Mike who told Loose Change producer Dylan Avery that hundreds of emergency rescue personnel were told over bullhorns that Building 7, a 47 story skyscraper adjacent the twin towers that was not hit by a plane yet imploded symmetrically later in the afternoon on 9/11, was about to be "pulled" and that a 20 second radio countdown preceded its collapse. In addition, former NYPD officer Craig Bartmer described hearing bombs tear down the building as he fled the collapse. Former Air Force Special Operations for Search and Rescue expert, Kevin McPadden traveled to ground zero completely of his own accord and spent the next four days searching through the rubble and nearby buildings for survivors. In a speech given at this week's 9/11 truth events in New York City, McPadden describes the shocking details of what he witnessed shortly before WTC 7 imploded into its own footprint. In a taped interview with us after the event, McPadden made it clear that he and onlookers clearly heard "three, two, one" from the radio before the building collapsed. The following video from CNN clearly shows firefighters and police telling the public to get back because Building 7 was about to come down and in the words of the cameraman was about to "blow up."

"The ruins of the Oklahoma City federal building, ripped open by a bomb and left tottering precariously until the dead were removed, are etched in the American mind. When the signal finally came to destroy the remains of the building, a UTK alumnus' company did the job. Controlled Demolition Inc. collapsed the Murrah Building with less than 100 pounds of dynamite placed strategically at 200 points in the superstructure. The job was typical of the delicate, dangerous work Mark Loizeaux (Knoxville '71), his brother Doug, and their father, John D., do. The company is headquartered in Phoenix, Maryland. The federal building demolition was more dangerous than most of Controlled Demolition's jobs because the remains were so unstable. The company's workers partially rebuilt some areas of the building to help con-trol the collapse. And unlike the April 19 bomb blast that shattered windows a mile away, the demolition operation barely vibrated nearby buildings. John D. founded CDI in the late 1940s. In 1960, at age 11, Mark began learning the business from his father and eight years later became the nation's youngest blaster. When John D. was injured in an accident, 18-year-old Mark interrupted his pursuit of an architecture degree at UTK and returned home to run the family business. After his father recovered, Mark re-enrolled, this time majoring in business. Soon after he graduated, he became president of CDI. Mark supervises the company's contracts, insurance, and engineering and takes charge of some field operations. His brother, Doug, is vice president responsible for field operations and personnel. He personally packed explosives in the Oklahoma City federal building. Stacey Loizeaux, Mark's daughter, is a licensed blaster and frequently a project manager. She was born in Knoxville while her dad attended UTK. CDI has brought down many well known structures including the Dunes Hotel in Las Vegas and the Andrew Jackson in Nashville. The Sheikh A. Akakl Center in Saudi Arabia, part of which collapsed during construction, was another of CDI's big blows. A company brochure says CDI brought down the remainder of the building without damaging facilities just two feet away on two sides."

BBC destroyed all its 9/11 historical videotapes - "The 9/11 conspiracy theories are pretty well known by now. The BBC addressed them earlier this month with a documentary, The Conspiracy Files, shown within the UK. Until now, I don't think we've been accused of being part of the conspiracy. But now some websites are using news footage from BBC World on September 11th 2001 to suggest we were actively participating in some sort of attempt to manipulate the audience. As a result, we're now getting lots of emails asking us to clarify our position. Our reporter Jane Standley was in New York on the day of the attacks, and like everyone who was there, has the events seared on her mind. I've spoken to her today and unsurprisingly, she doesn't remember minute-by-minute what she said or did - like everybody else that day she was trying to make sense of what she was seeing; what she was being told; and what was being told to her by colleagues in London who were monitoring feeds and wires services. We no longer have the original tapes of our 9/11 coverage (for reasons of cock-up, not conspiracy). So if someone has got a recording of our output, I'd love to get hold of it. We do have the tapes for our sister channel News 24, but they don't help clear up the issue one way or another. If we reported the building had collapsed before it had done so, it would have been an error - no more than that. As one of the comments on You Tube says today 'so the guy in the studio didn't quite know what was going on? Woah, that totally proves conspiracy.'"
BBC Reported Building 7 Had Collapsed 20 Minutes Before It Fell - An astounding video uncovered from the archives today shows the BBC reporting on the collapse of WTC Building 7 over twenty minutes before it fell at 5:20pm on the afternoon of 9/11. The incredible footage shows BBC reporter Jane Standley talking about the collapse of the Salomon Brothers Building while it remains standing in the live shot behind her head. Minutes before the actual collapse of the building is due, the feed to the reporter mysteriously dies. This amazing clip was on Google Video, but was removed within hours of the story breaking. A You Tube upload (still processing) is embedded above but we fully expect this to be removed soon. You can watch it for the time being at this link and also here. A WMV link is here (on our server) and a Quicktime here. Bit torrent versions of the file can be found here. An avi version can be found here. We are attempting to compile numerous mirrors of the video file. Skip forward to around the 14:30 minute mark. We expect the surviving links to quickly disappear, so we've also uploaded an FLV file to our own server. Click here to download. You'll need a free player that plays FLV files, a selection of which can be found here. Please use this download to create mirror copies in all formats and e mail the links to us. To be clear, the Salomon Brothers Building is just a different name for Building 7 or WTC 7. Although there is no clock or time stamp on the footage, the source claims the report was given at 4:57pm EST, 23 minutes before Building 7 collapsed at 5:20pm. While the exact time of the report cannot be confirmed at present, it is clear from the footage that the reporter is describing the collapse of WTC 7 while it clearly remains standing behind her in the live shot. The fact that the BBC reported on the collapse of Building 7 over twenty minutes in advance of its implosion obviously provokes a myriad of questions as to how they knew it was about to come down when the official story says its collapse happened accidentally as a result of fire damage and debris weakening the building's structure.

Diagonal cuts using diagonal Thermate cutter charges allow gravity to pull a building down plus explosive Kicker Charges to knock the columns sideways - Dr Steven Jones PhD discussed the irrefutable proof that Thermite, Thermate and Super Thermite incendiaries were used to melt 3,000 steel columns in each of the WTC Towers plus WTC7 - Dr Jones explained that Thermate contains sulfer which reduces the melting point of steel by 50%, just like salt reduces the melting point of ice
"When a crime scene involves the detonation of explosives, and the possibility of undetonated materials exist, an experienced contractor is needed to preserve evidence critical to ongoing investigations while dealing with any explosives discovered. Responding first to the request of the General Services Administration (GSA), and subsequently that of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Controlled Demolition Incorporated (CDI), was able to assist in analyzing the integrity of the unstable Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Controlled Demolition Incorporated's team coordinated with rescue and body retrieval efforts by authorities, salvaged evidence for the FBI's investigation, prepared the building for implosion, and completed the demolition sequence in a continuous work program. Controlled Demolition Incorporated is equipped to work closely with governmental agencies under complex project scenarios that demand professionalism and attention to detail while working under difficult site, political and emotional conditions. Controlled Demolition CDI is recognized as the innovator and global leader in the controlled demolition and implosion of structures. Loizeaux family owned Controlled Demolition - CDI has an unmatched 52 year 7000 structures international track record for environmental operations, controlled demolition, explosive demolition and implosion of buildings bridges and other structures."

Dr Steven Jones and Dr Webster Tarpley - World Crisis Radio interview discussing their lectures at the American Scholars Symposium. Sulfer added to Thermite makes Thermate, to reduce the melting point of steel by almost 50%, allowing the WTC collumns to be cut "like a hot knife through butter". Radiation measurements were allegedly normal (despite 1,000 of exploded radioactive smoke detectors), so Dr Jones theorized that no nukes were involved at WTC. Why the steel was still red-hot, weeks after 9/11, was not explained, but probably the conspirators were igniting unburnt Thermate to destroy the evidence, before allowing removal of the evidence.

911 Con: Anthony Hilder interviews billionaire Jimmy Walter - Video by John Lee and PNTV was censored by Google Video
It was a great 24-hour nonstop press conference, without the press. Essentially, it was nothing more than the usual radio preachers preaching to their choir. Now it's up to bloggers and webmasters to tell the Truth, as usual, but only for folks who know how to google. CSPAN, CNN and BBC were there, but their minders banned and censored all their broadcasts. No local TV news coverage in LA. No live radio coverage - not even from the talk hosts present, who report the 9/11 Truth every day on Genesis Communications Network and Republic Broadcasting Network. No real print coverage. Typical disinfo psyops by censorship and containment. That's why God invented cheap videocams and CATV.
This historical event proved that John Lee is Knoxville's only TV journalist, in both local and national news, and that PNTV is Knoxville's only source for news. That's scary, with a sub-zero income thanks to kidney damage and stolen Social Security pension and stolen Veterans Administration pension. My previous trip to Hollywood was during recovery for a collapsed lung. But combat jouralism is never easy during a Civil War.

Controlled Demolition Inc on History Channel and PBS America Rebuilds - Alice Cooper sings "Welcome to my nightmare" during short clips from History Channels' "Wrecking Ball" episode, as CDI bombs perfectly good govt buildings all over USA, during their "Summer of Destruction" in 2001. CDI owner engineers graduated from University of Tennessee in Knoxville, home of mayor Victor Ashe, now Bush Jr's ambassador to Poland (CIA redition torture death camps). CDI's $7-billion partner at World Trade Center "after" 9/11/2001 was Browning Ferris Industries, the $40-billion waste cartel HQed in Knoxville. Notice how CDI installs British RDX "cutter charges" in a diagonal position on steel beams, exactly as seen at WTC scrap after 9/11. CDI was required at WTC, because many of the Thermate cutter charges did not explode, and had to be detonated by CDI before removal from the rubble, so this resulted in molten steel for days, weeks and months after 9/11, as the unburned Thermate was ignated by CDI, burned off, then was removed and destroyed in Communist China, and melted down in Knoxville.
"Self-hating Jewish anti-Semite" Dr Henry Makow PhD: Bush, Israel Involved in 9-11 - Governments have always invented threats in order to pursue aggression and make their people sacrifice their lives, wealth and freedom. If you believe Israel and the West are under attack by Islamic extremism, you are being fooled. There is growing evidence that Israel was involved in the 9-11 attack and is plotting new terror scares to keep the GOP in power. A Report of the German Intelligence Service (BND) says Israel's Mossad helped the "Arab terrorists." Germany has not denied that this report is authentic and no one has refuted it. "These investigations disclosed in late May of 2001 that an attack was to be made against certain specified targets in the American cities of Washington and New York. But it was apparent that the Mossad was not only fully aware of these attacks well in advance but actually, though their own agents inside these Arab groups, assisted in the planning and the eventual execution of the attacks. On August 6,2001, the German ambassador Ischinger informed George W. Bush of the exact time and place of the attack. Bush thanked the ambassador and said he was aware of it. The "Voice of the White House" Friday produced a transcript of a telephone conversation between the Israeli Embassy and AIPAC, the Israel lobby. The speakers discuss fabricating terror attacks and scares in order to influence the November elections. People would rather believe a lie than admit they have been deceived, even if their pigheadedness may have fatal consequences. Israel was not created so Jews can have a "national homeland." The Rothschilds who are Freemasons created Israel in order to advance their plan for world dictatorship. August 11, 2006
Super RDX is bombs are only manufactured by Israel - Around 6:20 am, October 23, 1983, a terrified city is awakened by a deafening explosion. The ground shakes. Have the Israelis begun another bombing rampage? A towering mushroom cloud billows from the rubble of what had been the U.S. barracks at Beirut International Airport where the 1st Battalion 8th Marines had been sleeping. The truck that blew up the Marine Barracks was loaded with 666 pounds of enhanced RDX "rag bombs." The Israelis call RDX, "rag bombs," because they use it to kill "rag-heads" or to blame bombings on "rag-heads." Also, the "safest" way to handle it is in "rags" that have been soaked in RDX and dried. Their planted bombs often look like a pile of dirty "rags." The only active sources of RDX in 1983 were the United States, Canada, France, Sweden, China - and Israel. But even 666 pounds of RDX (the most powerful, non-nuclear explosive in the world) couldn't have done the damage caused by "The largest non-nuclear explosion in history." Only "enhanced RDX," an Israeli specialty, could have caused that holocaust. The RDX that killed our Marines was "enhanced" with propane gas and primed with PETN boosters or detonation cord, according to Yosef Bitar, Lebanon's top explosive expert. Bitar is an expert; between 1975 and 1983 he had defused 1,870 bombs! The Beirut bombing that killed 241 U.S. Marines was "the largest non-nuclear explosion in history," according to General Paul X. Kelley, past-Commandant of the Marine Corps. The author of this news report, RBN talk show host and AFP reporter Christopher Bollyn, was kidnapped and tortured by electroshock, by Jewish Police State Death Squad in Chicago in August 2006, as punihment for reporting on Israeli involvement in 9/11. See the video of Kay Griggs, wife of Colonel Griggs, an assassin for USMC, testified that her husband and US Navy Intelligence had prior knowledge of the bombing of the USMC barracks in Lebanon. Just like USS Liberty.
American Scholars Symposium censors itself
Don't we have enough problems without shooting Indy media in the mouth?
Question: "I don't get video streaming, my internet connection isn't good enough. Are you gonna come out with a DVD of the Conference?"
Alex Jones: "That is on the burner, to do. We're finishing up the official Terrorstorm, that should be ready in about two and a half weeks. As soon as that's done, I frankly think the Bilderberg footage I got is more important. But I may try to make both films simultaneously, a Bilderberg film slash American Union film, and then also might put together a double CD set of four hours of the Conference."
—Infowars.com Radio, WBCR 1470am, July 20/21, 2006 (audio download)
So, Mr Jones is not even going to post his 24-hour 911 Con on his pay-per-view PrisonPlanet.TV...
Some of the videos posted so far were sabotaged by a suspected LAPD undercover copster or fire inspector sitting on the video platform and shaking it on purpose while blocking the fire escape. Roidhead refused to move when video crews repeatedly told him to, because it was shaking the videocams so bad. There were plenty of available seats. That was obviously his mission for Uncle Scam, since CNN, BBC and CSPAN were all there.
To be fair, perhaps the reason CSPAN has refused to broadcast its videotapes, and why network TV and local TV have refused to attend this event, is due to Alex Jones' and Kevin Smith's insistance that all video crews sign a contract promising to never resell their videotapes. Video crews are banned from broadcasting ANY press conferences from this event, by limiting their videos to 30 minutes, which is only 1/2 to 1/3rd the length of a press conference. This contract ensures that no TV production company will ever broadcast a 9/11 press conference, since their lawyers will never allow them to sign such a contract. All local and national TV news companies resell their broadcast via videotapes of all news programs, at a cost of at least $30 per hour per tape.
911 Eyewitness - Watch Thermate melt the WTC just seconds before the collapse and listen to explosive demolitions in WTC BEFORE the collapse. Video by 911 Con speaker Rick Seigel at 911Eyewitness.com
WTC evidence was destroyed in Communist China, India and Knoxville Tennessee. Diagonal cuts using diagonal Thermate CUTTER charges allow gravity to pull WTC down in a controlled demolition at the speed of gravity in 10 seconds
This contract with Alex Jones also forbids any TV crew from broadcasting the entire event, for free. Repeated attempts by PNTV to contact ASS before the event, for permission to broadcast the entire event, were met with denials. When TV crews spend $1,500 per person to attend a press conference, it makes no sense to be banned from broadcasting their work, so why attend? This ain't no sports event, with exclusive TV broadcast rights for advertising revenue. This is a homicide investigation, and attempt to save this nation - and save the world.
PNTV is the only video producer to renegotiate those contracts, at the event, with signed contracts with each individual speaker, and with the agent for Alex Jones, to allow full broadcast on CATV. No other media outlet jumped through that legal hoop. CTV Corporation in Knoxville demands its producers sign contracts waivering all right to broadcast "outside content" on Cable Access TV, which censors all broadcast of productions by Alex Jones, and by 100s of other great truthtellers. Knoxville's CTV is owned by Scripps Howard COMCAST ATT. Mr. Scripps and Mr. Howard are members of Bohemian Club, so this contract bans CTV broadcasting Alex Jones' Dark Secrets Inside The Bohemian Grove. Other CATV owners are adopting this policy of censorship via CATV contracts, for example, Time Warner in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Thus the 9/11 Con can only be broadcast in the Knoxville market if PNTV does the camerawork.
Dozens of alternative video crews recorded the entire 24-hour press conference, most using $5,000 videocams in HDV, requiring broadcast quality computer systems to edit the high-resolution video files. But according to their media contracts, none are allowed to broadcast their hard work, reducing their costly efforts to mere home videos.
Colonel Bob Bowman PhD, cancerous 9/11 Truthteller, Vietnam fighter pilot, Star Wars commander, past US presidential candidate and current Democratic candidate for US Congress, told PNTV that the national a state parties refuse to support him, but the local party in Florida provides enthusiastic financial backing, perhaps because Bowman does not specifically say anything about who perped 9/11 and how they did it, other than Bush and Cheney should be arrested for ordering the military to stand down and let USA be attacked
What's needed is for these lone videographers to pool their video, archive it online, with high-resolution raw WMV video files on the free Indy servers, such as Archive.org, suitable for copyright-free download and re-edit by broadcast studios, to create a free worldwide indy television network. Even if the Media Mafia chooses to ignore this almost-live video feed, Cable Access TV producers like PNTV can broadcast this news in every major city in USA.
Most, if not all, of these alternative media journalists were required to pay $75 for tickets to attend this "press conference". Such a requirement ensures that no TV crew will attend an event they have to buy tickets for. What benefit is a "press pass" if journalists are treated as mere spectators, without any right to report a story? American Scholars Symposium, judging by its website, has no intention of selling DVDs of its 9/11 Con.
Likewise, Alex Jones of Infowars.com apparently has no intention of selling DVDs of his own 9/11 Con, judging by removal of links to the store at AmericanScholarsSymposium.org, and no mention of 9/11 Con DVDs on his radio show. Jones only promotes his old version of Terrorstorm, as shown at the 911 Con, before he starts selling his new version of Terrorstorm, which might include tidbits from his 911 Con. Then he went on vacation to the beach. WTF?
The American Way includes getting paid for doing one's job. Or else you literally starve to death. The problem is when American Greed takes over, and conmen perp massive scams on the goyim. $75 for admission is a steep price to pay for the same old Truth available "free" on the ether and the ethernet, but the opportunity to meet, greet and network is worth it - and, IF those in attendance are actually willing to meet, greet and network - and IF they are willing to appear on REAL TV and tell the Truth to the entire nation. If the answers are YES, then $75 is a wise investment.
Those spectators who complain about the steep ticket price of the 911 Con, and who bite what few Truthtellers attack the Media Mafia on their own battlefields, without actually joining a battle themselves, are not doing Truth any favors. Who's the disinfo artist, the person who oversells, or the person who never sells anything? To sell professionally, and survive, requires a high-energy level, although many types of personalities can succeed. Selling is always required to survive, when a manufactured product is fighting for marketshare on a battlefield of bullshit. There's certainly far worse things to waste your money on than Truth, such as the $65 ticket (etc) for 100,000 sheeple to attend 4 days of cartoon Comicbook Con in San Diego in July. Fans pay $200 for tickets to attend the New World Odor's Formula One Grand Pricks, even back when I drove the F3 support race in the early 1990s. At least, that's what I scalped my extra pit passes for.
USA and Democracy are not allowed by the World Trade Organization Martial Law Police State in Seattle Washington
If the answers are NO, then it's time to Identify Friend or Foe (IFF), kick it up a notch, and take Truth to the next level. EVERY city and county needs YOU to run Truth on YOUR own Cable Access TV show. Every city and town needs YOU to broadcast Truth on pirate FM. Better yet, buy your own licensed AM or FM radio station, or TV station, just like you would invest in any other business. Buy your own webhosting and/or ISP - profit from the monopolized internet bottlenecks. Websites only reach the most-intelligent of Truthseekers who know how to search. CATV and pirate FM reach the sheeple, and lead the wisest of the flock away from the slaughterhouse, and give them a fighting chance for survival, and perhaps even Freedom.
Police State of California vs democracy and uSA Wooden and rubber bullets kill just like stun guns
Note that protests are only as good as the television coverage, which is always censored by the Media Mafia, even when 500,000 peacenik pussies protest Bush, War and genocide of US citizens. Besides, intelligent protesters should be just as heavily armed for self defense as the US Police State Death Squads, and armed with videocams and the power for citizen's arrest and lawful use of deadly force and justifiable homicide against gangsters in govt (i.e. the Battle of Athens, Tennessee in 1947).
Imagine 500,000 US citizens marching on the White House on 9/11/2006, armed with only full riot gear, Level-3 body armor and helmets, chemgear, Lexan shields, clubs, stunguns, pepperspray, semi-auto and full-auto defensive assault rifles and .50-cal BMGs and grenade launchers, to make a citizen's arrest on George Walker Bush and his Gang. That ain't no militia, that's citizenship. That's not Revolution, that's Countercoup.
"COME OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE WITH YOUR HANDS UP!" would make a great soundbite on TV, with Jr Bush and Cheney led away in handcuffs, again.
Study CSPAN and BBC archives of Boris Yeltsin walking up to Gorbachev, speaking the words, "You're fired and under arrest for stealing $3-Billion!", and taking control of a superpower without firing a shot. The Russian Parliamentarians just smiled and clapped, watching the overthrow of a Communist dictator from their ringside seats.
But only protesters who are illegal alien criminals get TV coverage from the Media Mafia (who organized the protests months in advance, aka Jewish Clear Channel traitors), to sell Bushes' wide open US borders and merger of USSA with Mexico, Canada and the British Commonwealth empire. CATV exposes the local networks as the frauds that they are, and will eventually force them to report more and more Truth. But only if YOU start your own CATV show. Every city and county needs dozens of such CATV shows for Truth to have a winning impact. So don't back off just because your town has one or two Truthtellers on CATV. Repetition is the Mother of Learning, selling, and brainwashing. Everybody is intelligent enough to figure out how to do these things. AND they help you sell whatever it is that you sell everyday, already. And these are great steppingstones into polyticks, if and when you decide to infiltrate Gangsta Govt.
Many hours research on the web, and listening to a lucky interview by Dr Steven Jones on RBN Radio, turned up a buried but unmentionable link to Justice Television, on ST911.org. Apparently, Justice Television is providing the ONLY DVDs of the American Scholars Symposium. Dr Jones complained that even his superstar report on Thermite was buried on the Scholars for 911 Truth website. The same website that censored Eric Hufschmid, who wrote the most professional book on 9/11 so far. Although Hufschmid was webmaster for ST911.org, he was not allowed to link to his own website, where his videos were posted online for free download. Hufschmid is censored by the Zionist Jews, Zionist Christian oxymorons and Zionist Communist Atheists, for reporting the obvious indisputable fact that dozens of Jews perped the 9/11 terrorist massacres. Hufschmid's sister, supermodel actress Sarah O'Hare, is married to Lachlan Murdoch, the son of multi-billionaire Sir Rupert Murdock Jewish Knight of the British Empire who is a citizen of Australia who owns Fox News, is married to Communist Chinese citizen Wendi "Ho" Deng, and they live in Bejing, the capital of Communist China. Hufschmid's sister was kidnapped off the face of the planet after her marriage into the Murdock crime family.
Alex Jones profited by $100,000 gross during this event, so why censor TV crews from broadcasting the event, which is worth $1,000,000s of free publicity? Sure, Jones has $10,000s in regular monthly bills to fire up his transmitters and internet servers, and to pay payrole for his radio, CATV and web crew. PNTV broadcasts to 110,000 homes in Knox County, on Channels 6 & 12, worth $100,000s if sold on the advertising market. All the more reason to benefit from the free publicity of a nationwide media blitz. Who was giving Jones this bad legal advice?
WTC survivor William Rodriguez has contracted with a personal agent, who forces him to sign a contract forbidding all interviews without paying a large fee, of an unknown amount. This would require an expensive team of lawyers to negotiate these expensive contracts. His contract will also result in total censorship of his story from all TV networks, who all demand the legal right to sell videos of their news broadcasts. Who gave him this bad legal advice? Charlie Sheen's Hollywood lawyers may also have insisted upon such waivers from the media reporters. Sheen is the highest TV sitcom actor in the world, at $350,000 per episode, plus a percentage of gross profits as owner of the series Two and a Half Men (aka The Odd Couple), in addition to his blockbuster Scary Movie 4, which pokes fun at Bush Jr's bizarre alibi on 9/11/2001.
Thermite Music Video - Watch Thermite melt a car's engine block in 5 seconds. Notice the identical appearance to the previous video of molten steel spraying ouf of WTC 30 seconds before it's "collapse". Anyone can purchase Thermite, which is a common chemisty school experiment, and used for welding and incendiary explosives by US Govt. Thermite is composed of powdered iron-oxide rust and powdered aluminum-oxide, and burns at 2,500 degress Centigrade (4,500 degress Fahrenheit). Thermite was invented in 1893 and patented in 1895. Jet fuel burns at under 1,000 deg F in uncompressed air, and the official reason the WTC melted was due to "paper fire" not kerosine fire
That's like the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund forcing "beneficiaries" to sign contracts forbiding future litigation, in return for accepting a million dollar bribe, er, settlement. Before the checks arrive, the potential beneficiaries cower in fear of "saying the wrong thing", as if that will ruin their "insurance" claims. After all, look what happened to Ellen Mariani, whose ex-lawyer Phil Berg, who is Rodriguez' current lawyer, was scheduled to speak on his current RICO terror case vs Bush, but was a no-show.
A better solution is to ban all 9/11 speakers who insist upon journalists signing contracts and paying fees, rather than queer the deal, or no deal with journos.
A standard condition for purchase of seminar tickets includes an agreement clause for "Photo Release": "We occasionally use photographs of our show participants in our promotional material. By virtue of your attendance, you agree to usage of your likeness in such material." This is the adhesion contract for Videomaker Magazine's two-day seminiars, costing $400. Videomaker also produces its vidcasts from such events.
Magician Willie Rodrigruez was the Keymaster of the WTC, was the last rescuer rescued from the WTC demolition, was eyewitness to giant explosions in the WTC basement before the first airliner hit, was invited to the White House to shake Junior's hand, and sued President George Bush Jr under the RICO Act for perping the treasonous terrorist attacks on 9/11/2001. Rodriguez eyewitnessed an Employee of Aramark with the flesh exploded off his body in the basement, while the CEO of Aramark was safely playing golf with Jewish homosexual pedophile billionaire Warren Buffet, at US Air Force Strategic Air Command HQ in Omaha Nebraska, and hid in the bunker with Bush Jr on 9/11. Aramark has no-bid cost-plus blank-check food service contracts at University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and is paid a bonus for every employee fired, resulting in massive turnover to fraudulently boost profits on that govt contract. Aramark ran the restarant in Windows Of The World in WTC, where so many jumped to their deaths. Rodriguez said the WTC security videocam HQ in the basement was abandoned BEFORE the first aircraft crash and before the first explosion in the basement. The Port Authority security guards with the master keys for escape and egress escaped the building without opening any of the stairwells. Rodriguez and the firemen heard explosions in the lower floors while climbing the staircases. FDNY collapsed on the 27th floor and could not walk any higher due to exhaustion. He gave dust masks to survivors in WTC due to the acrid smoke from amonium nitrate bombs. The only floor he did not unlock was an empty floor where he heard massive movement of heavy equipment. Rodriguez on only allowed to testify to the 9/11 Commission in Top Secret session, even though he was just a janitor. He turned down bribes to be a Congressman or have a TV show to shut him up. Rodriguez is censored from speaking about Jewish, Zionist and Israeli perpetraition of the 9/11 Massacres. Photo by John Lee and PNTV
Since independent alternative journalists were forbidden by contract from covering this event, Alex Jones' team of video and web experts should have posted online ALL 12 hours per day of video, at the conclusion of each day's press conference. The videotape of each segment should have should have been captured and edited by laptop computer in their hotel room, then uploaded instantly to the Indymedia websites for instant international distribution for free. Print journalists anywhere in the world could then watch the event in time for print deadlines, and take direct quotes from the speakers, almost in real-time. High-resolution video would be uploaded to Archive.org, suitable for instant download and broadcasting by TV networks anywhere in the world. This is virtually as good as live TV converage, but without the need for million-dollar satellite upload trucks.
This is how the alternative media can outflank the multinational anti-American Media Mafia. This is the ONLY way to outflank the Media Mafia.
911 Con: Dr Steven Jones PhD discussed the irrefutable proof that Thermite, Thermate and Super Thermite incendiaries were used to melt 3,000 steel columns in each of the WTC Towers plus WTC7. Super Thermite bombs act instantly which explains why the WTC Complex collapsed at the freefall speed of gravity in 10 seconds with giant mushrooms clouds blowing sideways, as Dr Jones details in "Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Collapse?"
After 24 hours, news is no longer timely for TV networks and daily newspapers, so instant gratification is mandatory, if a press conference is to be covered by the press. However, PNTV is very interested in obtaining all video from the 9/11 Con. Contact John Lee ASAP, who will post the contact info and links for all interested 9/11 Indy video producers, on PNN - the Pirate News Network.
Two weeks after the event, most videos were still not posted on the 9/11 Con's official website. Google Video has more 9/11 Con videos posted than the 9/11 Con website. Nor were they all posted on Alex Jones' pay-per-view CATV website, at PrisonPlanet.TV. There's no need to post fancy editing tricks, just post the facts, unedited and unmixed. Include some or all of the audience questions, since it gives a rare gauge of public outrage, and some of the questions were dead on target. And I waited 6 months for my PrisonPlanet.TV subsciption to start, since I paid to renew it in December 2005. I consider it an educational expense for CATV School.
Jimmy Walter invested $10-Million in fullpage 9/11 Truth ads in NY Times and USA Today, but LA Times censored his 9/11 Truth. Billionaire Walter toured Europe, Asia and South America meeting with world leaders and the public to report 9/11 Facts. Walter's family business constructed over 100,000 residential homes with Jim Walter Homes, a world record on planet Earth. 9/11 Eyewitness Rick Seigel videotaped molten metal poaring out of WTC one minute prior to the explosive demolition, caused by Thermite, Thermate incindiaries and Super Thermite explosives as proven by Professor Steven Jones' laboratory testing
Was Alex Jones just overwhelmed with the nuts and bolts of running this press conference? It was certainly a huge effort on his part, even with his team of helpers. Did Jones make these mistakes in good faith?
Future 9/11 press conferences MUST learn from these mistakes. Unless, of course, the COINTELPRO disinfo agents want to censor those events from TV and print, and have already infiltrated the 9/11 Truth media. Just like they've already infiltrated the 9/11 Dream Teams of trial lawyers, prosecuting lawyers, judicial lawyers, political lawyers and pro se prosecuting lawyers (aka "cops"). This is the admitted game plan for the New World Order to overthrow USA, by protecting the guilty domestic terrorists from arrest and prosecution.

The "alternative media" is now enforcing a serious challenge to the Media Mafia for control of the ether. Have the CIA, Mossad and MI6 already seized control of the alternative journalists, via their usual techniques of bribery, extortion and murder? Gary Webb, Hunter Thompson and NY Times' ENRON editor are just 3 of at least 4-dozen journalists assassinated by the Bush Gang since 2001, in this current Civil war for control of USA.
BBC TV, CNN TV and CSPIN all sent camera crews to cover 5% of the speakers. British Reuters, New York Times and the Washington Post did their professional best to censor all topics from their sheeple, as if mere mention of existance of an event qualifies as "news reporting". Actual reporting of events thus falls upon the narrow shoulders of unpaid prosumer video crews and bloggers, as usual. Even KPFK FM Pacifica Mexican corporate radio in Los Angeles apparently failed to report on the ASS Con, while selling 9/11 DVDs at 400% markup, in its $1-million panhandle drive. Pacifica's Divine Forces hiphop did hammer LA with 9/11 Truth music and rants, a breath of sanity in the land of fruits and nuts. But Pacifica's million-dollar 9/11 blitz ended that same weekend, and the 9/11 DVDs were removed from its website.
The most professional coverage of the 24 hours press conference was by its host Alex Jones, host of Infowars Radio. Jone's crew - or somebody's crew - manned the multiple videocams broadcast inside the ballroom to the audience via 2 big-screens. Jones is broadcast daily by WBCR 1470am in Alcoa, Tennessee. WBCR also broadcasts Jack Blood, also from GCN Radio Network, and Webster Tarpley from RBN Radio Network, who also spoke to the 9/11 Con. LA's own Anthony Hilder was the only producer to bring his own TV studio for interviews of 9/11 superstars. Unfortunately, part of the Sheraton's ceiling fell, knocking unconscious his camera crew while interviewing yours truly. Like being trapped in an episode of The Twilight Zone - FOR REAL. And my underpaid camera crew of me, myself and I had a short circuit between the headsets, with intermittant mike malfunctions throughout the weekend. At least I was able to repair my computer harddrive's boot crash upon my return to Kville, using only a vaccuum cleaner and free internet repair charts.
WTC 7 was never hit by an airliner nor by falling debris yet collapsed just like a Controlled Demolition by explosives, coincidentally after Jewish Australian WTC renter Larry Silverstein confessed on PBS TV America Rebuilds that he approved the "PULL" of WTC 7, which is defined by Webster's Dictionary as an intentional DEMOLITION. CIA HQ was in WTC 7, and Mafia mayor Sir Rudolf Giuliani Knight of the British Empire was named for likely promotion to CIA director
PBS TV America Rebuilds - Jew Larry Silverstein, Australian renter of entire WTC complex, who profited by $7-billion insurance claim on 9/11, confesses on TV that he and Mafia mayor Sir Rudolf Giuliani Knight of the British Empire bombed CIA's WTC7 with 100s of prepositioned explosive charges. Webster's New World Dictionary - "PULL: to tear down, demolish, or overthrow". Additional video of Bush Jr ordering United Nations Corporation to "beware conspiracy theories about the attacks on September 11."
Controlled Demolition Inc on History Channel and PBS America Rebuilds - Alice Cooper sings "Welcome to my nightmare" during short clips from History Channels' "Wrecking Ball" episode, as CDI bombs perfectly good govt buildings all over USA, during their "Summer of Destruction" in 2001. CDI owner engineers graduated from University of Tennessee in Knoxville, home of mayor Victor Ashe, now Bush Jr's ambassador to Poland (CIA redition torture death camps). CDI's $7-billion partner at World Trade Center "after" 9/11/2001 was Browning Ferris Industries, the $40-billion waste cartel HQed in Knoxville. Notice how CDI installs British RDX "cutter charges" in a diagonal position on steel beams, exactly as seen at WTC scrap after 9/11. CDI was required at WTC, because many of the Thermate cutter charges did not explode, and had to be detonated by CDI before removal from the rubble, so this resulted in molten steel for days, weeks and months after 9/11, as the unburned Thermate was ignated by CDI, burned off, then was removed and destroyed in Communist China, and melted down in Knoxville.
My job in the US Air Farce was loading nukes on supersonic bombers, firing up a jet engine, climbing in the cocpit and ops checking the entire weapons system, and catching Gulf War Syndrome from sabotaged vaccines and radioactive Depleted Uranium and Plutonium. I also was a demolitions specialist, hired by Uncle Scam to sabotage and blow up nukes, aircraft and air-force bases with C4 and detcord. Those were easy jobs compared to operating a videocam in a combat situation at the 9/11 Con.

CIA agent Ray McGovern, who confronted Dick Cheney on live TV over his WMD fraud in Iraq, was censored from the 9/11 Con by a "family emergency". British Military Intelligence secret agent David Shayler and his MI5 wife were also censored from the 9/11 Con, when US Dept of Homeland Security put them on the Terrorist No Fly List with Senator Ted Kennedy. Bush family business partner USAma Bin Laden is NOT on the No Fly List, and the FBI Most Wanted Poster declares that USAma is NOT wanted for the 9/11 attacks, since there's zero evidence that he perped the massacres, quoting from the FBI. That same week, the CIA reported it was closing its "Catch Bin Laden Office".

A most-depressing fact of this trip was the successful overthrow of USA by Mexico. Perhaps 50% of air travelers were unAmerican, speaking a foreign language. Perhaps 100% of hotel and restaurant employees were speaking an unAmerican language, presumably because of the job requirement of speaking Mexican as condition to employment. Mexican language TV and radio were the norm in Lost Angeles. Even the phone book was printed in Mexican for Mexicans. That same week, illegal alien, Austrian citizen, Nazi Party kinder and gay porn star Arnold Schwarzennegger refused to send 1,500 National Guard troops to the US border to defend USA, preferring to send them to die in Iraq. Bush Jr's TSA Homeland Security screeners include 1,000s of illegal aliens at LAX, strip searching every slave boarding every flight.

As my departure flight was refueling, I was reminded that Knoxville International Airport is now operated by the 9/11 terrorists. TACair is contracted as Fixed Base Operator for all civilian aircraft at McGhee Tyson. The CIA players at TACair trained the 9/11 terrorists and rented them aircraft, according to the official 9/11 Commission Report. They also owned an airliner seized while loaded with $50-million in CIA cocaine.

Maryville Daily Times reported and FBI declared in court documents that over $1-billion/year in cocaine flows through McGhee Tyson airport and Tennessee National Guard Base (not counting Bush Gang's CIA dope running in Iran-Contra), where Skull & Boner Fredrick Smith has his FedEx terminal. FedEx inherited the CIA's Evergreen Aviation (Air America) contract to deliver mail from the Afghan poppy plantations, where heroin production increased 1,000% after Jr Bush promoted a Knight of the British Empire to president of Afghanistan. TACair is also linked to Israeli Jewish felon and Congressional bagman Jack Abramoff.

The hub flight from Knox to LA included at stop at Sir George Bush Sr Knight of the British Empire International Homosexual Pedophile Terrorist Narco Kingpin Airport in Houston, Texas. I would have videotaped Sir George's statue, but that would have resulted in my arrest as a terrorist. Sir George's bronze likeness of Saddam Hussein was stationed in front of the illegal aliens strip searching US citizens for Israeli citizen Jew Michael Chertoff, Jr Bush's Communist Czech-born director of US Dept of Homeland Security and Wide Open NAFTA Borders.
Tommy Pallotta premiered Hollywood's A Scanner Darkly by Blade Runner's Philip K. Dick, starring Alex Jones, Keanu Reeves, Winona Ryder, Woody Harrelson and Robert Downey Jr, depicts a near future America that lost the war on drugs and capitulated into the tentacles of a Police State control grid
None of the airliners at Knoxville Intl airport were manufactured in USA. The creepy coast-to-coast flight from LA to NJ was on a Boeing 757, prewired from the factory for robotic remote control, as required by Pentagon's Operation Northwoods terrorist treason. Boeing, the Pentagon's expert on Killer kamikaze robot aircraft, now builds its airliners in Communist China. Russian mafiya speaking Russian invaded Knoxville on the flight from NJ to Knoxville, after a 2-hour No Fly Zone dodging the Weather War on Pennsylvania.
The scariest part of the trip was realization that PNTV was the only TV and print news outlet in Knoxville to cover this lifesaving event - poverty and Peter Principle notwithstanding. "Learning by experience" is no substitute for professional news coverage. Bohemian Grovers at Knox News Sentinel, and the Skull & Boner deputy mayor at WATE TV, of course, censored this event from their gullible victims, er, viewers. Gangsta Govt is winning its Civil War for the New World Odor. Evil fourishes when good men and women give their counterfeit scrip to Chinamart, Blockbuster and NPR, instead of supporting PNTV.

Dr James Fetzer rips heads off Hannity and Colmes, shites down necks, says Lockheed Martin's Norman Minetta testified that Cheney ordered Pentagon defenses to stand down and allow "Flight 77" to hit the Pentagon, then Mineta resigned from the White House the very next day
Bush Conspiracy in 9/11 Now A College Course - PhD at North Carolina Wesleyan College offers 9/11course for college credit and is looking for answers government has never given. The course, entitled "9/11: The Road to Tyranny", was the brainchild of college professor Jane Christensen, who saw the social need to explore the many questions about the WTC attacks and the war on terrorism. The required and suggested course readings of POL 495, which began in January and ends in May, are also a good roadmap for others interested in learning more about the events before, during and after 9/11. Some of the required texts and website readings include: Infowars 911 archive, Alex Jones' Infowars.com (which includes September 911 Surprise by Pirate News).
Loose Change V2 - 10-million free downloads on Google Video, ranked it #1, unlike PNTV's video of billionaire Jimmy Walter at 911 Con that was censored by Google Video. Starts with Pentagon's Operation Northwoods, the Rosetta Stone of 9/11. Fun with Google Earth. Interview with suicided snuff kiddie pornographer at Bohemian Grove Hunter S. Thompson. Greek Helios 737 flying by remote control crashed with all bodies frozen solid. Witnesses reported the smell of Cordite bombs, secondary explosions and censored videos at the Pentagon. A B-17 hit the Empire State Building not a B-52. Witnesses described multiple explosions and controlled demolitions of the WTC. Molten steel found at WTC 2 months after 9/11. Attempted censorship by the Media Mafia and French Naudet Bros killed Loose Change 1 & 2, resulting in Loose Change 3. Funding for stamping 150,000 DVDs of Loose Change came from the Jewish billionaire Simon family, who are partners with Australian Jewish billionaire Larry Silverstein, who confessed to bombing his WTC on 9/11 to profit by $7-billion insurance fraud. 50,000 copies of Loose Change were sold, and 100,000 copies were given away. Loose Change gives Bush Gang all the credit for perping 9/11, but censors the Jewish Zionist Israeli British Empire perpetraitors of 9/11. To be fair, a 1-hour video can only cover 1% of the evidence, which is why September 911 Surprise is a miniseries, that actually includes 9/11 Truth music videos, unlike Loose Change that uses generic instrumental music
Vanity Fair says Bush Gang perped 9/11 - With $6,000 and a laptop computer, three kids from upstate New York made a documentary about 9/11 that spread across the Internet and threw millions for a loop. I asked (Dylan Avery, director of Loose Change), what he thought was going to happen with the 9/11 issue. "Second American Revolution. I really think there's going to be anger. There's going to be a lot of anger. I think a lot of people are really pissed off, and I think the people who aren't pissed aff are going to be even more pissed off than the people who already are. Because when it becomes irrefutable public record that 9/11 was done by our government, the shit is gonna hit the fan. People are going to be upset. You can't stop it. People say, Awe, we need a peaceful revolution. We need to peaceably change things. Trust me, that's a great idea - I'm all for it. But Americans are violent, especially when they've been lied to, especially over something like this. So much has been lost because of 9/11 - I mean, families have been shattered (then bribed to shut up). There's so much pain (compensated with million-dollar bribes in hush money). So many people has just got - fucked. It's the only way to put it." (Note that the Revolutionary War was against the British Empire. With NAFTA and SPPNA Jr Bush has merged USA with Canada which is a member of the 53 nation British commonwealth, so USA has now officially lost the Revolutionary Civil War with England)
911 Con, CSPAN and Vanity Fair force Pentagon to release "NORAD Tapes" - Only 30% of tapes by military air traffic controllers released. None of the tapes come from NORAD's Cheyenne Mountain bunker, says Lt Col Bob Bowman PhD. Tapes proved Cheney ordered NORAD to stand down and let the jets hit their targets, proved Flight 93 landed safely, proved "Flight 93" was shot down by USAF pilots who disregarded their illegal orders, proved a Boeing 737 hit WTC 1 not a 757

CLICK TO DOWNLOAD VIDEO - 911 Con: Anthony Hilder interviews Jimmy Walter who invested $10-Million bribing the Media Mafia to advertise 9/11 Truth - Walter, who gives away books and videos by Eric Hufschid, declared that Hufschmid is blacklisted by the Zionists, including Zionist Jews, Zionist Christians and Zionist atheists - Hufschmid's half sister married the son of Zionist Jewish Knight of the British Empire Sir Rupert Murdoch, the pornopimp owner of Fox News. Sir Rupert Murdoch is a current citizen of Australia who is married to a current citizen of Communist China. Hufschmid's sister was kidnapped off the face of the planet after her marriage into the Murdock crime family - Video by John Lee and PNTV
Anthony Hilder, a videomaker not employed by the 9/11 Con, interviewed Jimmy Walter. Walter is heir to the largest home building empire in the world, who invested $10-million of his own money to buy advertising from the Media Mafia, as bribes to do their jobs and report the facts of 9/11. Hilder volunteered for a Walter safari to interview 7 of the surviving suicide bombers from 9/11/2001. When asked about Eric Hufschmid's excellent book (by far the best so far), and his 9/11 videos, Jimmy admitted, "Eric has come up against a conspiracy by the Zionists, who blackballed him," his punishment for discussing Israeli involvement in the 9/11 attacks (as reported by Fox TV), and for reporting the fact that less than 6-million "Jews" died in THE Holocaust (when even the curator of the Polish Holcaust Museum at Aushwitz testified that millions less than 6-million died).
Leon Catlett of Speak Out America on KKVV in Las Vegas and Anthony Hilder explain how Secret Societies of terrorists rule the world, including Skull & Bone ambassador to Poland and felonious ex-mayor of Knoxville Victor "Victoria" Ashe, who is George Bush Jr's gay lover, according to testimony by Leola McConnell, a gubernatorial candidate for Nevada, who participated in a 3-way with Ashe and Bush as their dominatrix. She also eyewitnessed Ashe's arrest in Washington DC for sex crime. Ashe was fired from the Tennessee legislature by the Tennessee Supreme Court for election fruad and perjury, and a class action for fraud and felony charges for theft were filed against him by John Lee. Alleged homicide victim on 9/11, Barbara Olson, was allegedly arrested while faking her death in Poland. Ashe spent $150,000 taxdollars on Satan's penis as a tombstone for the 3,000 human sacrifices on 9/11. Photo by John Lee and PNTV
Jewish crimes are not limited to 9/11 Truth in California. Knoxville is where the US District Court illegally kidnapped legal resident Ernst Zundel, who dared publish a book written by an historian in England, that asked the question, Did Six Million Really Die? The US marshals were following the illegal orders from the Jr Bush White House, implemented by CURRENT Israeli citizen Michael "Butcher Of New Orleans" Chertoff (born in Communist Czechoslovakia, and now Jewish Director of US Dept of Homeland Security And Wide Open Borders). Zundel was kidnapped by US Govt Death Squads from his home in Pigeon Forge without charges, tortured by dogs in the Blount County "Justice" Center without charges, deported to solitary torture in Canada for 2 years without charges, deported to Germany without charges, then mistriled in Germany for the crime of free speech. Zundel's wife, Dr Ingrid Zundel, who is a US citizen, faces immediate arrest if she attends the mistrials of her husband in ZioNazi Germany, for the crime of webmasting. Meanwhile, the US Gangsta Govt refuses to arrest and deport 40-million criminal alien terrorists, murderers, drug dealers, slave traders, pedophiles, cannibals, rapists, robbers, bioweapons, tax-dodgers, welfare-cheats from USA, and is opening the borders to 200-million more.
Separated at birth in Communist Czechoslavakia, Jew Michael Chertoff is a current citizen of Israel - He hired Communist KGB General Primkov at
$2-million/year to run US Dept of Homeland Security for wide open US borders and internal Police State Gulag
Victor Ashe is suspected of being "Jewish" (ASHkeNAZI), since wealthy Jews in East Tennessee love him so much they travel to Poland, just for Ashe to preside over their wedding. Did Skull & Bones mayor Victor "Victoria" Ashe have anything to do with Zundel's illegal rendition, for his gay lovers in the Bush White House? Is that why Bush Jr promoted him to US ambassador to Poland, "the most Jewish nation in Europe"? Or did Ashe flee USA, because John Lee of PNTV filed felony criminal charges against him? Ashe waivered his day in court to dispute his alleged arrests for homosexual crimes, when his team of government trial lawyers quashed subpoenas by John Lee filed in Knox County Circuit Court.
Meanwhile, Skull & Boners named Bush and Ashe eat off Adolf Hitler's silverware and worship the Jewish Swastika, and the son of Austria's top Nazi in parliament, illegal alien gay porn star Arnold "I Admire Hitler And Want To Be A Dictator" Schwarzennegger, was promoted to governor of Mexican California, after a meeting in England with Jewish billionaire Warren Buffet and Jewish trillionaire Lord Rothschild.
Linklater On A Scanner Darkly: "It's The World We're Living In" - Surveillance, war on drugs and terror themes parallel reality. "What's the next step - you cross the street at night and you get a ticket for jaywalking because biometrically it can read who you are?" said the director. "This is really about right now - it's easy to imagine a future where the endless unwinnable drug war would sort of meld in with the endless unwinnable war on terror - and how governments and corporations profiteer and the effects of that on the individual - the numbing effects," said Linklater. During a nationally syndicated radio interview, Linklater told host Alex Jones that the actions of the Bush administration were, "The most extreme I've seen in my lifetime - in American history - this kind of executive branch grab of power is so unprecedented - it's frightening." "Man, is he in over his head as the President of the United States - that's your worst combination of someone not prepared with their impulses being almost wrong every time - it's painful to watch as a Texan." "That's our role, that's our duty - that's what the founding fathers certainly wanted - a kind of a robust dialogue where everyone's a little unsatisfied - what we have now is a small group who are very satisfied - they've taken total control," said Linklater. "Once you own the media and the outlets and you can control the debate to such a large degree, I wonder if the dissenting voices can even be heard." Linklater also says that his efforts to disseminate documentaries which point the finger at the US government for involvement in 9/11 have changed paradigms for several A-list Hollywood stars - including Bruce Willis. "Bruce is a pretty 'thinking radical' kind of guy," said Linklater.
Hollywood's Bruce Willis Now 9/11 Truther - Linklater said he had handed out DVD’s on set which carried claims that 9/11 was perpetrated by the US government to erect a police state to Bruce Willis, one of the stars of Linklater’s upcoming Fast Food Nation. “He said it put him in such a head space that he will be quiet on issues of national policy.” Linklater said Willis had told him in an e mail that the videos had changed his entire political paradigm.

Homosexual incestuous South Park Republicans equate 9/11 Truthers with Anti-Semitism, Numerology and Cartman's Jewish crap - Cartoon jabs at 'retarded' public, Charlie Sheen, citing Bush incompetence. The popular cartoon South Park launched a 9/11 hit piece, claiming that the "one-fourth" of Americans who believe the attacks were an inside job are "retards." The episode equates the 9/11 truth movement with anti-semitism, a pointless and insignificant investigation into the misuse of a bathroom, numerology, and the selfish, racist, spoiled and more-or-less evil show character Cartman, who frequently attacks the character Kyle for transgressions he blames on Jews.

We'll Be Watching You! - Black T-shirt brigade attacks NY City on 9/11/2006, as imortalized by South Park
South Park: Harmless entertainment? Or more Zionist subversion? - South Park is a cartoon produced by Trey Parker and Matthew Stone (a popular Jewish name). In March 2004 the creators of South Park tried to make Mel Gibson appear psychotic with a rude cartoon called "The Passion of the Jew". In October 2006 the creators of South Park tried to convince their audience that people who don't believe the official story about the September 11th attack are retarded. You may wonder, "Why should I care about the South Park cartoons?" The reason is that 9/11 was a Zionist Job, and South Park promotes Zionist propaganda. It is also one of Comedy Central's top shows, supposedly watched by millions of people, including children. You wouldn't want Al Capone's gang or Jeff Dahmer to produce deceptive television shows for your children, so why do we let Zionists flood our television with propaganda? The Zionist denying, Useful Idiots such as Michelle Malkin, will promote a South Park cartoon when they believe it will instigate anger among or towards Muslims. This implies that the people who create and promote South Park are working with the Zionist criminal network in some way. It has been five years since the 9/11 attack occurred, and virtually everybody who is still defending the official story should be considered a possible member of the Zionist criminal network. South Park is distributed by Comedy Central, which also produces The Daily Show by Jon Stewart (aka Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz). The Daily Show is supposedly one of the primary sources of information about the world to teenagers and college students. Is The Daily Show a "harmless" comedy program? Some people, such as professors Baumgartner and Morris of East Carolina University, believe the show encourages destructive attitudes among children by ridiculing government leaders without encouraging discussions, research, or anything productive. Jon Stewart lies about 9/11, Israel, Zionism, uranium, and a lot more. He entertains Goyim students with Zionist propaganda. Why are we putting up with this? Do you really think it is just a coincidence that the effect of his deception is to encourage cynicism, hopelessness, hatred of Muslims, ignorance of Zionism, and pity for Israel? That's why PNTV remixed South Park 9/11. Note that Eric Hufschmid's sister married the son of billionaire Sir Rupert Murdock Jewish Australian Knight of the British Empire, owner of Fox TV. WARNING: EXTREME OBSCENE ARISTOCRAT JOKE BY SOUTH PARK, even if it's true.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - September 911 Surprise is a 9-hour video archive documenting the evidence from the terror attacks on 9/11/2001. Never before has such an extensive collection of eyewitness testimony been presented in one video series. Much of this evidence has never before been seen on TV. This Hollywood award-winning miniseries is based upon the Pirate News' website, September 911 Surprise, as discussed on world-wide radio and seen on Japanese TV on 9/11/2004.

“The U.S. government has consistently blamed me for being behind every occasion its enemies attack it. I would like to assure the world that I did not plan the recent attacks, which seems to have been planned by people for personal reasons. I have been living in the Islamic emirate of Afghanistan and following its leaders’ rules. The current leader does not allow me to exercise such operations.”

FDNY told WTC 7 to be bombed by FDNY - NYPD cops heard bombs in WTC 7 - Loose Change 3 interviews: "I was real close to Building 7 when it fell down... That didn't sound like just a building falling down to me while I was running away from it. There's a lot of eyewitness testimony down there of hearing explosions. I didn't see any reason for that building to fall down the way it did. Yeah there was definitely fire in the building, but I didn't hear any... I didn't hear any creaking, or... I didn't hear any indication that it was going to come down. And all of a sudden the radios exploded and everyone started screaming 'get away, get away, get away from it!'... It was at that moment... I looked up, and it was nothing I would ever imagine seeing in my life. The thing started pealing in on itself... Somebody grabbed my shoulder and I started running, and the shit's hitting the ground behind me, and the whole time you're hearing "boom, boom, boom, boom, boom." I think I know an explosion when I hear it... Yeah it had some damage to it, but nothing like what they're saying... Nothing to account for what we saw... I am shocked at the story we've heard about it to be quite honest."
WTC 7 was never hit by an airliner nor by falling debris yet collapsed just like a Controlled Demolition by explosives, coincidentally after Jewish Australian WTC renter Larry Silverstein confessed on PBS TV that he approved the "PULL" of WTC 7, which is defined by Webster's Dictionary as an intentional DEMOLITION. CIA HQ was in WTC 7, and Mafia mayor Sir Rudolf Giuliani Knight of the British Empire was named for likely promotion to CIA director. Silverstein profited by a $7-Billion insurance claim from the terrorism on 9/11/2001. Webster's Dictionary defined "TERRORISM" as "A MODE OF GOVERNMENT BY TERROR"
WTC 911 Responders told WTC 7 to be bombed by FDNY - "There were explosions. There were flashes. There was molten metal running down the I-beams of the basement levels like lava flows. I've never seen anything like it. Yes, planes hit the buildings - anybody who says otherwise is a moron. But the explosions - the rapid, symmetrical, sequential explosions - they happened." He explains how he and others were in the basement of one of the towers helping injured victims when he saw "One of the huge steel and concrete support pillars with an 8 foot section blown out of the center of it." Looking around, Mike saw other support columns that were in the same condition, prompting rescue personal to ask "how could someone have rigged all these explosives?" "We stood outside listening to the explosions," states Mike, "One after the other, every minute or so. At one point, about 10 minutes before the first collapse, a 30 foot or so section of the courtyard exploded straight up into the air. Just before the collapses, a series of deep, below ground explosions, then numerous explosions in the buildings upper floors. Then we ran. We felt the same deep explosions before the second collapse. This was not just the planes." The rescue worker concludes emphatically, "The buildings were rigged, there is no question about it." Perhaps of even more interest, the EMT relates the fact that hundreds of emergency rescue personnel were told over bullhorns that Building 7, a 47 story skyscraper adjacent the twin towers that was not hit by a plane yet imploded symmetrically later in the afternoon on 9/11, was about to be "pulled" and that a 20 second radio countdown preceded its collapse.
A hijack-proof piloting system for airliners is being developed to prevent terrorists repeating the 9/11 outrages.
The mechanism is designed to make it impossible to crash the aircraft into air or land targets - and enable the plane to be flown by remote control from the ground in the event of an emergency.
Scientists at aircraft giant Boeing are testing the tamper-proof autopilot system which uses state-of-the-art computer and satellite technology.
It will be activated by the pilot flicking a simple switch or by pressure sensors fitted to the cockpit door that will respond to any excessive force as terrorists try to break into the flight deck.
Once triggered, no one on board will be able to deactivate the system. Currently, all autopilots are manually switched on and off at the discretion of pilots.
The so-called 'uninterruptible autopilot system' - patented secretly by Boeing in the US last week - will connect ground controllers and security services with the aircraft using radio waves and global satellite positioning systems.
After it has been activated, the aircraft will be capable of remote digital control from the ground, enabling operators to fly it like a sophisticated model plane, manoeuvring it vertically and laterally.
A threatened airliner could be flown to a secure military base or a commercial airport, where it would touch down using existing landing aids known as 'autoland function'.
After it had landed, the aircraft's built-in autobrake would bring the plane safely to a halt on the runway.
Boeing insiders say the new anti-hijack kit could be fitted to airliners all over the world, including those in the UK, within the next three years.
The latest move to combat airline terrorists follows The Mail on Sunday's disclosure three weeks ago that scientists in Britain and Germany are developing a passenger-monitoring device.
This will use tiny cameras linked to specialist computers to record every twitch, blink, facial expression or suspicious movement made on board flights in order to identify potential terrorists.
A Boeing spokesman said : "We are constantly studying ways we can enhance the safety, security and efficiency of the world's airline fleet.
"There is a need in the industry for a technique that conclusively prevents unauthorised persons gaining access to the controls and threatening the safety of passengers.
"Once this system is initiated, no one on board is capable of controlling the flight, making it useless for anyone to threaten violence in order to gain control."
Boeing confessed to TREASON, a crime punishable by death, while building Boeing airliners in Communist China.
A coalition of independent 9/11 investigators and journalists today announced the online publication of a set of original blueprints of the North Tower of the World Trade Center. The set is composed of over 200 never-before-published drawings, including plans, elevations, and details, given to physicist Dr. Steven E. Jones by an individual interested in a more complete analysis. Groups presenting the plans include Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice, 9-11 Research, and Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
Richard Gage, AIA, Architect, the founder of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, said, "We cannot truly understand what happened in these historical structural failure events when we are not allowed access to the construction documents." Gage believes that, given the profound differences in the official collapse theories, the need for more investigation is clear. "First they come up with the "pancake theory", then they changed it to the "column failure theory". We don't believe that either of those theories are supported by the available evidence."
Since the 9/11 attacks, numerous groups and individuals have challenged the official explanation that the Twin Towers experienced total structural collapse due to a combination of aircraft impact and fire damage. Challengers assert that the WTC Towers were destroyed by pre-planted explosives, rather than fires and impact damage.
"The only theory that is supported by the evidence is controlled demolition with explosives," Gage says. "You could never get a collapse event of that speed through 80 floors of intact steel structure. The laws of physics simply don't allow it."
WTC BLUEPRINTS ONLINE - A whistleblower that was on a team working for Silverstein Group in 2002 has made public an extensive set of detailed architectural drawings of the World Trade Center, that prove beyond any doubt that the official reports into the collapse of the towers misrepresented their construction. The blueprints provided consist of 261 drawings included detailed plans for the North Tower (WTC 1), the World Trade Center foundation and basement, and the TV mast on top of the North Tower. Most of the drawings can be viewed here. The blueprints, unlike those of any other publicly funded building, have been withheld from public view since the 9/11 attacks without explanation and were even unavailable for viewing by the team of engineers from the American Society of Civil Engineers, who were assembled to investigate the collapses by FEMA, until they had signed legal documents which bound them to secrecy and demanded that they never use the information against the buildings' owners as part of a lawsuit. Within each trade tower there were 47 steel columns at the core and 240 perimeter steel beams. 287 steel-columns in total.
Should people who question the government's version of the events of 9/11 have their heads examined? Well, the following psychiatrists and psychologists have concluded that the official version of 9/11 is false. Moreover, many of these mental health experts have concluded that the government's account is so obviously false that people who believe the government's version are in psychological denial.

New York 9/11 truth activist Luke Rudkowski claims WTC complex leaseholder Larry Silverstein and his daughter got a warning on the morning of 9/11 not to come to work that day - his source? - Silverstein's own security guards.
Rudkowski and his protest group We Are Change protested Silverstein outside the new WTC 7 building last month and were confronted by Silverstein's security entourage who proceeded to harass the group before calling in a fake bomb threat to the NYPD in an attempt to have the demonstrators arrested.
"We talked to their private security staff, we talked to people who were there with Larry on 9/11 - they said he got a phone call telling him not to show up to work and he called his daughter up and his daughter also never showed up to work," Rudkowski told a radio show this past weekend.
Obviously, Silverstein arrived later in the day but the claim that he was given foreknowledge of an incident at the World Trade Center before the first plane had crashed is a bombshell revelation, perhaps even shadowing his infamous "pull it" comment.
Interestingly, Silverstein told the Wall Street Journal on Saturday that his wife had forced him to fulfil a doctors appointment on the morning of 9/11, meaning he would miss his usual breakfast date at the Windows on the World restaurant, which was located on the 107th floor of the World Trade Center's north tower.
Was Silverstein getting his alibi out ahead of time?
In addition, it has since come to light that one of the thug security guards who intimidated We Are Change protesters during a demonstration outside the new WTC 7 and called in a false bomb threat to frame the group, was recently fired by Silverstein Properties.
Rudkowski is now seeking legal representation to explore a possible lawsuit against the security guard, who also threatened the activists with "30 days in the hole" as well as claiming their cell phones were guns and that the wires coming out of their bags were bombs.
NYPD police later arrived to investigate the bomb threat but the protesters were left alone as it immediately became apparent that the security guard had made a hoax bomb report, a serious crime.
Such knowingly misleading and false information is not only malicious and immoral, but has been made specifically illegal under the Anti-Hoax Terrorism Act of 2003 and expanded for more stringency in 2004 and the Terrorism Prevention Act of 2006, not to mention long-standing protections against defamation and public endangerment. There are also many state and local laws prohibiting such activity.
Rudkowski is of the opinion that Silverstein Properties promptly fired the security guard in an attempt to offset potential litigation.
After an eternity of politicking, the real construction begins.

Larry Silverstein began spending every morning at the World Trade Center shortly after he inked a 99-year deal to operate the complex in July 2001. The New York developer would have breakfast at Windows on the World, the restaurant on the 107th floor of the North tower, and then meet for several hours with tenants. But on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, he was at home, dressing for a doctor's appointment his wife had made for him, instead of at his usual table at Windows. "I had said to my wife, sweetheart, cancel my doctor's appointment. I have so much to do at the Trade Center," he recalls. "She got very upset and told me I had to go. As it turns out, that saved my life."
While he was still getting ready for his doctor's appointment, Mr. Silverstein learned that the first plane hijacked by terrorists had struck the North tower. He turned on his television just in time to see the second plane fly into the South tower. No one at Windows on the World survived.
NOTE BY PNTV: ARAMARK Corporation was the restaurant contractor on the top floor of World Trade Center. On 9/11/2001, the CEO of ARAMARK was playing golf at NORAD Strategic Air Command Golf Course in Omaha, Nebraska, with the other WTC CEOS, and with Jewish multi-billionaire pedophile insurance owner Warren Buffet. This is the same US Air Force bunker where George Bush Jr hid out with them on 9/11, after hiding behind the little children and their Satanic car-theving goat story. Omaha is pedophile capital of USA, as proven by CIA lawyer John DeCamp, as reported in his autobiography, The Franklin Coverup, and proven in courts of law. ARAMARK has the no-bid cost-plus blank-check government restaurant contract at University of Tennessee in Knoxville (alma mater of Controlled Demolition Inc), which literally pays itself a government bonus every time it fires an employee or closes a restaurant (such as the University Club). How do I know this? My wife was employed by ARAMARK, and successfully proved these facts in a court of law.
Access Hollywood: Charlie Sheen to narrate Loose Change 3 - Charlie Sheen has been lined up to take part in a 9/11 documentary, his reps confirmed to Access Hollywood. Sheen is involved in the production of "Loose Change," a new version of a documentary suggesting the US government was behind the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks. The current version of the documentary is availabe on YouTube. The actor's reps declined to reveal more details about Sheen's involvement in the project, but Page Six reports he will be narrating a new version of the film. In an interview on the Alex Jones Show on the GCN Radio Network a year ago, Sheen expressed his views on 9/11 saying, "It is up to us to reveal the truth. It is up to us because we owe it to the families, we owe it to the victims. We owe it to everybody's life who was drastically altered, horrifically that day and forever. We owe it to them to uncover what happened."
SUPPORT for the loopy 9/11 documentary "Loose Change" - which argues that the World Trade Center terror attack was part of a secret U.S. government conspiracy - is quickly losing steam.
A source tells us Charlie Sheen "is having second thoughts" about being involved in an updated version of the flick, which has a huge following on YouTube. As Page Six reported in March, Sheen had agreed to narrate the ridiculous flick, presumably to give it some needed Hollywood sizzle.
The conspiracy documentary got a further boost earlier this month when Virgin Atlantic announced it would offer the current, narration-free version as an in-flight movie choice. But just days later, it scrapped the idea. "After Virgin announced it, bloggers went nuts and there was so much negative feedback that [the airline] a few days later nixed it," the source said.
After we revealed Sheen's participation, the "Two and a Half Men" star told Extra: "It's a story that needs to be told. It's a story about the truth, and the truth needs to be exposed. It's not just me, not just the Hollywood community [that] is standing up saying what you have given us doesn't make sense. We just want better answers." As for Sheen now pulling his support, the star's flack, Stan Rosenfield, did not return calls over two days.
Another proponent of the "Loose Change" theory is Rosie O'Donnell, who trumpeted her feelings about it on "The View" and her blog, making ABC brass nervous and infuriating some viewers.
O'Donnell reportedly had booked the film's producers, Korey Rowe and Dylan Avery, on Thursday's show. But after getting into a fight with Elisabeth Hasselbeck Wednesday, and after her chief writer was caught defacing Hasselbeck's photos with mustaches, O'Donnell left the show.
"Loose Change" pushes the widely debunked "controlled demolition" theory, which claims the Twin Towers and 7 World Trade Center were blown up from within. It alleges the jet-fuel fires inside the towers weren't hot enough to melt the buildings' steel beams.
Those claims were soundly refuted by Popular Mechanics magazine, which meticulously shot down every single one.
Sir Rupert Murdoch, "Jewish" Australian Knight of the British Empire, is married to Wendi Deng, a card-carrying Communist Party citizen of Communist China. They live in Bejing, the capital of Communist China. The Murdochs own Fox News, Direct TV, TV Guide Channel. MySpace and The Sun pornographic "newspaper". Since the Communist Manifesto bans ownership of private property, the Communist Party of China now owns Fox News. The Commie Manifesto was written by Jew Karl Marx in London England. NY Post Page 6 editor Dick Johnson was arrested for extorting bribes to not write libelous lies about the rich and famous.
Charlie Sheen has issued a brief statement in response to a New York Post article that claimed he was having "second thoughts" about his involvement in Loose Change Final Cut and the 9/11 Truth Movement as a whole:
"My views and convictions regarding the events of 9/11 have not wavered. I still firmly believe the citizens of this great country, especially the family members of those tragically lost, deserve a much more accurate and thorough investigation surrounding the horrific events.
"The suspicious fact that certain relevant testimonies were not included in the Keen Commission's final report, discredits the majority of their findings. A bi-partisan, democratically selected panel needs to be established that would include (but not limited to), victim family members, firefighters, rescue workers as well as key eye witnesses to the various crime scenes. Not some tepid rehash of Bush-serving lap-dogs cherry picking evidence to support erroneous and fictional "Magic Bullet" explanations.
"We will not tolerate any testimony behind closed doors from subjects not placed "Under Oath". We will not tolerate the real and hard questions being dismissed for reasons of "National Security". We will not tolerate our freedom of speech being dismantled and ignored as not to "Disrespect the deceased".
"I'm baffled as well by the fact Bin Laden's crimes listed on the FBI's most wanted list DO NOT include those of 9/11. If you do not believe me, see for yourselves.
"As far as "Loose Change - Final Cut" is concerned, I await the newest version to be presented to me, at which point I will make my decision to participate (or not) based on the film's content and merit.
"I remain patriotically steadfast."

Martin Sheen Questions Official 9/11 Story - "Up until last year, I was very dubious," said Sheen, "I did not want to believe that my government could possibly be involved in such a thing, I could not live in a country that I thought could do that - that would be the ultimate betrayal," he added. "However, there have been so many revelations that now I have my doubts, and chief among them is Building 7 - how did they rig that building so that it came down on the evening of the day?" said Sheen. "How convenient," said Sheen, "When did they rig that building? That's the most interesting question and I have not received a satisfactory answer - nobody could give me an answer to how you rig the building - what a coincidence - two weeks prior and then bring it down on the day, that is the one thing that I have not got a sensible answer about from anyone," he concluded.
George Carlin Questions "Received Reality" Of 9/11 Story - Asked what he thought of the 9/11 truth movement and how Bill Maher's show was interrupted by truthers last week, Carlin responded, "I always question the received reality." "The consensus reality is often intentionally misleading," he added. Asked if he would support a new investigation into 9/11, Carlin was skeptical, stating, "They don't investigate themselves in this country - it would be a whitewash, it would be like the Kennedy thing, it would be like everything." "The people who are in charge do what they want and they will always do what they want, power does what it wants to and I wouldn't trust an investigation," Carlin concluded.
Korey Rowe Could Be Sent Back To Iraq - Korey Rowe, one of the producers of the huge 9/11 truth film Loose Change, may be sent back into the heart of battle in Iraq within a month if he is officially returned to his unit according to a story run by the New York Daily Star today. July 31, 2007

9/11 Firefighters Testified that Bombs were in the WTC - Firefighter John Schroeder, assigned to Engine Company 10 directly across the street from the World Trade Center complex, holds back tears and describes his first-hand experience on Sept. 11th in an emotive interview with We Are Change and Loose Change. Much of Schroeder's testimony directly contradicts the official story and the 9/11 Commission, to which he spoke but was ignored. Perhaps the most important aspect of Schroeder's testimony is his recollection that there was a distinct gap between the plane striking the north tower and the elevators exploding. "We're standing there in the lobby....all of a sudden we hear (explosion noise) and the elevators exploded like something out of a Bruce Willis Die Hard movie," said Schroeder. "People just come running out of the elevators on fire....I was like what is going on here, something's up here - I mean the plane's up there now there's fire down here?"
"We said something's wrong here - I mean the plane hit up on the 80th floor - 5 minutes later and the elevators are suddenly exploding on the first level - why?" asked Schroeder.

"The Nuremberg Principles says that we in the military have not only the right, but also the DUTY to refuse an illegal order. It was on this basis that we executed Nazi officers who were 'only carrying out their orders'... The Constitution which we are sworn to uphold says that treaties entered into by the United States are the 'highest law of the land,' equivalent to the Constitution itself. Accordingly, we in the military are sworn to uphold treaty law, including the United Nations charter and the Geneva Convention... Based on the above, I contend that should some civilian order you to initiate a nuclear attack on Iran (for example), you are duty-bound to refuse that order. I might also suggest that you should consider whether the circumstances demand that you arrest whoever gave the order as a war criminal."
Dear Comrades in Arms,
You are facing challenges in 2007 that we of previous generations never dreamed of. I'm just an old fighter pilot (101 combat missions in Vietnam , F-4 Phantom, Phu Cat, 1969-1970) who's now a disabled veteran with terminal cancer from Agent Orange. Our mailing list (over 22,000) includes veterans from all branches of the service, all political parties, and all parts of the political spectrum. We are Republicans and Democrats, Greens and Libertarians, Constitutionists and Reformers, and a good many Independents. What unites us is our desire for a government that (1) follows the Constitution, (2) honors the truth, and (3) serves the people.
We see our government going down the wrong path, all too often ignoring military advice, and heading us toward great danger. And we look to you who still serve as the best hope for protecting our nation from disaster.
We see the current Iraq War as having been unnecessary, entered into under false pretenses, and horribly mismanaged by the civilian authorities. Thousands of our brave troops have been needlessly sacrificed in a futile attempt at occupation of a hostile land. Many more thousands have suffered wounds which will change their lives forever. Tens of thousands have severe psychological problems because of what they have seen and what they have done. Potentially hundreds of thousands could be poisoned by depleted uranium, with symptoms appearing years later, just as happened to us exposed to Agent Orange. The military services are depleted and demoralized. The VA system is under-funded and overwhelmed. The National Guard and Reserves have been subjected to tour after tour, disrupting lives for even the lucky ones who return intact. Jobs have been lost, marriages have been destroyed, homes have been foreclosed, and children have been estranged. And for what? We have lost allies, made new enemies, and created thousands of new terrorists, further endangering the American people.
But you know all this. I'm sure you also see the enormous danger in a possible attack on Iran , possibly with nuclear weapons. Such an event, seriously contemplated by the Cheney faction of the Bush administration, would make enemies of Russia and China and turn us into the number one rogue nation on earth. The effect on our long- term national security would be devastating.
Some of us had hoped that the new Democratic Congress would end the occupation of Iraq and take firm steps to prevent an attack on Iran , perhaps by impeaching Bush and Cheney. These hopes have been dashed. The lily-livered Democrats have caved in, turning their backs on those few (like Congressman Jack Murtha) who understand the situation. Many of us have personally walked the halls of Congress, to no avail.
This is where you come in.
We know that many of you share our concern and our determination to protect our republic from an arrogant, out-of-control, imperial presidency and a compliant, namby-pamby Congress (both of which are unduly influenced by the oil companies and other big-money interests). We know that you (like us) wouldn't have pursued a military career unless you were idealistic and devoted to our nation and its people. (None of us do it for the pay and working conditions!) But we also recognize that you may not see how you can influence these events. We in the military have always had a historic subservience to civilian authority.
Perhaps I can help with whatever wisdom I've gathered from age (I retired in 1978, so I am ancient indeed).
Our oath of office is to "protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic." Might I suggest that this includes a rogue president and vice-president? Certainly we are bound to carry out the legal orders of our superiors. But the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) which binds all of us enshrines the Nuremberg Principles which this country established after World War II (which you are too young to remember). One of those Nuremberg Principles says that we in the military have not only the right, but also the DUTY to refuse an illegal order. It was on this basis that we executed Nazi officers who were "only carrying out their orders."
The Constitution which we are sworn to uphold says that treaties entered into by the United States are the "highest law of the land," equivalent to the Constitution itself. Accordingly, we in the military are sworn to uphold treaty law, including the United Nations charter and the Geneva Convention.
Based on the above, I contend that should some civilian order you to initiate a nuclear attack on Iran (for example), you are duty- bound to refuse that order. I might also suggest that you should consider whether the circumstances demand that you arrest whoever gave the order as a war criminal.
I know for a fact that in recent history (once under Nixon and once under Reagan), the military nuclear chain of command in the White House discussed these things and were prepared to refuse an order to "nuke Russia ." In effect they took the (non-existent) "button" out of the hands of the President.. We were thus never quite as close to World War III as many feared, no matter how irrational any president might have become. They determined that the proper response to any such order was, "Why, sir?" Unless there was (in their words) a "damn good answer," nothing was going to happen.
I suggest that if you in this generation have not had such a discussion, perhaps it is time you do. In hindsight, it's too bad such a discussion did not take place prior to the preemptive "shock and awe" attack on Baghdad . Many of us at the time spoke out vehemently that such an attack would be an impeachable offense, a war crime against the people of Iraq , and treason against the United States of America . But our voices were drowned out and never reached the ears of the generals in 2003. I now regret that I never sent a letter such as this at that time, but depended on the corporate media to carry my message. I must not make that mistake again.
Also in hindsight, President Bush could be court-martialed for abuse of power as Commander-in-Chief. Vice President Cheney could probably be court-martialed for his performance as Acting Commander- in-Chief in the White House bunker the morning of September 11, 2001.
We in the U.S. military would never consider a military coup, removing an elected president and installing one of our own. But following our oath of office, obeying the Nuremberg Principles, and preventing a rogue president from committing a war crime is not a military coup. If it requires the detention of executive branch officials, we will not impose a military dictatorship. We will let the Constitutional succession take place. This is what we are sworn to. This is protecting the Constitution, our highest obligation. In 2007, this is what is meant by "Duty, Honor, Country."
Thank you all for your service to this nation. May God bless America , and sustain us in this difficult time. And thanks for listening to the musings of an old junior officer.

Pilot who flew 2 planes used on 9/11 doesn't believe official conspiracy theory - Vietnam combat pilot Russ Wittenberg: "I flew the two actual aircraft which were involved in 9/11... Fight number 175 and Flight 93, the 757 that allegedly went down in Shanksville and Flight 175 is the aircraft that's alleged to have hit the South Tower. I don't believe it's possible for... a so-called terrorist to train on a 172, then jump in a cockpit of a 757-767 class cockpit, and vertical navigate the aircraft, lateral navigate the aircraft, and fly the airplane at speeds exceeding it's design limit speed by well over 100 knots, make high-speed high-banked turns,.. pulling probably 5, 6, 7 G's... I couldn't do it and I'm absolutely positive they couldn't do it."
Willie Nelson re-iterated comments first made on The Alex Jones Show about the implosion of the World Trade Center twin towers on 9/11, telling Democracy Now that he has questions about the official story.
JUAN GONZALEZ: The FCC is watching, yes. I’d like to ask you about one of your views or perspectives that’s raised a lot of controversy, obviously, your sense of—or your reaction to what happened on 9/11 and your questions that you have about the events of that terrible day.
WILLIE NELSON: Well, I have a lot of questions. I think a lot of people have a lot of questions. I think 85 or 90 percent of the people in this country say, “What?” I mean, a plane hit this building, and it fell kind of like that. And another plane hit that building, and it fell kind of like that. About the same time it fell, this one fell the same way. It looked like an implosion somewhere, you know? And then, all of a sudden, the third building fell, and no plane hit it. So, naturally, I’ve got questions.
Nelson appeared for a second time this week on Alex Jones’ show and called for Bush to be impeached, fearing that an “event” before the end of the year could lead to the presidential election being cancelled.
Willie Nelson: Impeach Bush, “Throw The Bastards Out” - "If you break the law you have to pay for it one way or another and if these guys haven’t broke the law nobody has. We went through a couple of elections now and we didn’t do anything, we thought we did but come to find out that the voting machines are crooked, everything’s stacked against us, the politicians that we vote for won’t stay and fight and they won’t count the votes. It could be anything and anything will work because they have everyone scared to death, I just think there are people out there who will do anything to stay in power, anything to keep what they have, they’ve already proven they’ll do anything to keep it. I was talking about the third building that nothing hit and yet it fell as if it was hit the same way, all three buildings fell the same way, but the third building wasn’t hit by anything." 9/11 was an inside job.
"I kicked myself when it initially happened that the light didn't go off but I was so shocked that this thing had even taken place that I apologize for not being more aware. When I finally did watch Loose Change, I went through every emotion you could imagine, from laughing, crying, getting sick to my stomach, to the whole emotional thing. To me questions haven't been answered and are not being answered about 9/11. Two planes struck two buildings....but how is it that a third building fell 5 hours later? How could this building just implode into its own footprint 5 hours later - that's my first question - the 9/11 Commission didn't even devote one page to that in their big volume of investigation. How could those buildings fall at the speed of gravity - if you put a stopwatch on them both of those World Trade Center buildings were on the ground in ten seconds - how can that be? If you took a billiard ball and dropped it from the height of the World Trade Center in a vacuum it would hit the ground in 9.3 seconds and if you took that same billiard ball and dropped it 10 stories at a time and merely stopped it and started it it would take 30 seconds - if you dropped it every floor of the World Trade Center to the ground, simply stopping and starting it on gravity it would take over 100 seconds to reach the ground. Jet fuel is four fifths kerosene - which is not a hot burning fuel - and they wanted us to believe it melted these steel structured girders and caused these buildings to pancake collapse to the ground. I was on the site within two weeks after it happened and I saw none of these pancakes - wouldn't they all be piled up in a huge mass on the ground and yet everything was blown into dust - when you look at it from that aspect none of it makes any sense. Never before in the annuls of history has a fire caused a steel structure building to fall to the ground like these two did. Upon looking at the film in super-slow motion and the way the buildings fell and comparing that to the way that they do like a controlled demolition of a hotel in Las Vegas, they both fell identical. I did watch the film of Building 7 going down and in my opinion there's no doubt that that building was brought down with demolition. When I was watching Loose Change with a friend of mine - he happens to work for a company that helps build the Boeing airplanes and they said that when the engines completely disappeared and were destroyed, his response was, excuse my French - bullshit! I turned to him and said why and he said because they're made of titanium steel - they can't disintegrate. We don't want to lose our country, after all it's still our country and until they put us down we have the power."

"A new U.N. Human Rights Council official assigned to monitor Israel is calling for an official commission to study the role neoconservatives may have played in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. On March 26, Richard Falk, Milbank professor of international law emeritus at Princeton University, was named by unanimous vote to a newly created position to report on human rights in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs. While Mr. Falk's specialty is human rights and international law, since the attacks in 2001, he has devoted some of his time to challenging what he calls the '9-11 official version.' On March 24 in an interview with a radio host and former University of Wisconsin professor, Dr Kevin Barrett, Mr. Falk said, 'It is possibly true that especially the neoconservatives thought there was a situation in the country and in the world where something had to happen to wake up the American people. Whether they are innocent about the contention that they made that something happen or not, I don't think we can answer definitively at this point. All we can say is there is a lot of grounds for suspicion, there should be an official investigation of the sort the 9/11 commission did not engage in and that the failure to do these things is cheating the American people and in some sense the people of the world of a greater confidence in what really happened than they presently possess.' Mr. Falk yesterday did not return e-mails and phone calls asking for a comment. But in 2004 he wrote the foreword to the book 'The New Pearl Harbor,' by Professor David Ray Griffin. Mr. Griffin has posited that such an inside job is the likely explanation for the attacks. When asked for a comment about the appointment of Mr. Falk, a former American ambassador to the United Nations Corporation, lunatic John Bolton said, "This is exactly why we voted against the new human rights council." A spokesman for the American embassy at the United Nations offered no comment yesterday when asked. Mr. Falk's selection to the post as rapporteur has already prompted the government of Israel formally to request that Mr. Falk not be sent to their country. The Israeli press has reported that he may even be barred from entering the country. One reason the Israelis are concerned about his appointment is that Mr. Falk has compared Israel's treatment of Palestinian Arabs to the Nazi treatment of Jews in the holocaust."

“It is clear the US authorities did little or nothing to pre-empt the events of 9/11.”

Cynthia McKinney asks which is the UN food bomb and which is the US bomb in Afghanistan? Out of 535 members of Congress, Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was the first to break the consensus of silence and point to the obvious - that the Bush administration had received advance warningsof an attack, and that this called for a full investigation. On September 10, 2001 McKinney grilled Sir Donald Rumsfeld Knight of the British Empire and General Richard Myers how the Pentagon lost $2-Trillion taxdollars from the Pentagon CAFR "pension" funds, but got no answer. Now the Pentagon has "lost" $7-trillion since 9/11, thanks to Pentagon's Israeli comptroller Rabbi Dov Zakheim, who coincidentally owns a company that builds killer robot jetplanes.
When Cynthia McKinney [2008 Green Party presidential nominee] speaks the words of Martin Luther King Jr, they resound through the church with some of King’s cadence. “A time comes,” declares the former US congresswoman from Georgia, “when silence is betrayal.” The congregation answers with whoops and calls of “That’s right!” King was talking about America’s war in Vietnam. More than 40 years later, before the packed pews of the Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles, McKinney is speaking of the American government’s war on its own people. The shock and awe phase of this conflict, we had been told earlier, began on September 11 2001, when the Bush administration launched attacks on New York and Washington, or at least waved them through.
According to a show of hands that February afternoon, several hundred people in the immaculate church believe this to be true. Some came in T-shirts bearing the words “9/11 was an inside job”. One wore a badge demanding that you “Examine your assumptions”. Quite a few bought the DVDs on sale in the foyer, most of which bore photographs of the Twin Towers spewing smoke. They had all come to hear the message of Architects, Engineers & Scientists for 9/11 Truth, one of the dozens of groups across the US which campaign to persuade us that everything we think we know about 9/11 is wrong.
Last winter, “Investigate 9/11” banners seemed to be popping up all over the place. Bill Clinton was heckled by “truthers” in Denver while campaigning for his wife. Truthers picketed the Academy Awards in LA – despite this year’s winner of the best actress Oscar, Marion Cotillard, reportedly being one of them. But then, she’s French. Literature lovers in that country pushed Thierry Meyssan’s L’Effroyable imposture (The Appalling Fraud) – which asserts that 9/11 was a government plot to justify invading Iraq and Afghanistan and increase military spending – to the top of the bestseller list in 2002.
Country music star Willie Nelson is assuredly not French, but a week or so before the Oscars he described as naive the notion that the “implosion” of the Twin Towers was caused by crashing jets. Meanwhile the European Parliament screened the Italian documentary Zero, in which Gore Vidal, Italian playwright Dario Fo, and Italian MEP Giulietto Chiesa blame the US government, not al-Qaeda, for 9/11. The following month, Japanese MP Yukihisa Fujita raised his own doubts about the official story at a seminar in Sydney. A busy season for the “9/11 Truth” movement.
The events of 9/11 were recorded in many thousands of images, from crisp agency photographs to amateur camcorder footage. Every recorded trail of smoke, every spray of sparks is pored over by an army of sceptics, collectively described as the 9/11 Truth movement. They believe that the key to the mystery is hidden somewhere within the pictures, just as some people think that clues are contained in the Zapruder film which captured the moment of John F. Kennedy’s assassination. Allied against them is a smaller group of rival bloggers who have taken it upon themselves to debunk what they claim are dangerous conspiracy theories.
There is some evidence that the Truthers are swaying the rest of us. A New York Times/CBS News poll in 2006 revealed that only 16 per cent of Americans polled believed the Bush administration was telling the truth about 9/11. More than half thought it was “hiding something”. This is not the same as believing the government actually launched the attacks, but a Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll the same year found that more than a third of those questioned suspected that federal officials assisted in the attacks or took no action to stop them so that the US could go to war.
The Truthers certainly believe that they are on a roll. The crowd in the Immanuel Presbyterian Church seemed electrified. As the donated sound system pumped out angry rap, a giant video screen showed images of protesters demanding a new investigation into 9/11. The symbols and the language were borrowed from the civil rights struggle, but the truthers are an eclectic group, including anti-Bush, anti-war liberals and anti-government libertarians. A young man in a “Vote Ron Paul” T-shirt scuttled through the hall, filming us as we took our seats on wooden pews.
First up was Richard Gage, a San Francisco architect who founded Architects, Engineers & Scientists for 9/11 Truth, which now claims to have 379 professional members. Gage told us that the collapse of the Twin Towers could not have been due merely to gravity, the impact of the airliners and the resulting jet fuel fires – which would not have been hot enough to weaken the steel sufficiently. Behind him on the video screen was the south tower of the World Trade Center. Smoke poured from its upper floors. A respectful silence fell over the audience, followed by gasps as the building appeared to dissolve before our eyes.
While I have seen this footage countless times, it seems that I had clearly never understood what I was seeing. The destruction of the Twin Towers, along with the collapse of the nearby 47-storey World Trade Center 7 building, had all the hallmarks of controlled demolition, according to Gage. They all came straight down, almost at the speed of a free-falling object, right into their own footprints. Steel-framed buildings had never collapsed because of fires before. On this day three did, one of which, “Building 7”, was not even hit by an aircraft.
Gage, who had worked himself into a fever, exhorted the audience to stand up and be counted: “A country is at stake.” Then he welcomed on to the stage the star of the evening, Steven Jones. A softly spoken physicist, Jones is the movement’s designated martyr and seems to promise what the truthers so desperately need: scientific credibility.
Jones entered into Truther lore in 2006 when he was put into early retirement by Brigham Young University in Utah after giving public lectures on his paper “Why indeed did the WTC buildings collapse?”, which he published on the website of the university’s physics department. Jones contended that the towers were demolished by cutter charges which had been placed throughout the buildings, probably involving an incendiary called thermite. BYU’s College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and the structural engineering faculty, followed by the university administration, disowned him.
Still, Jones is no fool. He has published more than 50 scholarly papers, including pieces on cold nuclear fusion in journals such as Scientific American and Nature. He invented a cooker which uses solar power and has donated models to poor families in the developing world. Jones tells us he believes laboratory testing of dust from Ground Zero will reveal residue from a thermite reaction.
As soon as the seminar is over, Jones is mobbed by people asking him to pose for photos and offering their own views on the 9/11 plot, as well as others such as the presence above our heads of chemtrails (deadly toxins sprayed by unidentified aircraft, which some believe are part of a secret global depopulation programme). This is the world Jones now inhabits – it seems a long way from a Utah physics department. I ask him later by phone if he has any regrets about publishing that fateful paper: “No regrets. I’ve thought of Galileo a few times. He got a little worse than I did, I suppose.”
Jones is typical of many 9/11 researchers in that the subject has taken over his professional life. Down the coast in Santa Barbara is another of the movement’s luminaries. On the beach at Isla Vista, one of the most expensive real-estate spots in the US, lives David Ray Griffin, a former theology professor. As his dogs scratch excitedly on the sliding door, Griffin explains that America’s primary faith is not Christianity, but nationalism. “Other countries do really terrible things. Our leaders never would. And that [belief] has been the biggest impediment to getting people to look at the evidence, because they just know a priori that that is ridiculous.”
Griffin now thinks the evidence to the contrary is incontrovertible. Until 2002, he had busied himself far from the rancour of public controversy writing rather obscure philosophical books and teaching philosophy of religion at the Claremont School of Theology. But the course of his research changed abruptly when he heard a visiting British theologian question the official account of 9/11. Two years later, Griffin’s The New Pearl Harbor, with a foreword by British MP Michael Meacher, became a touchstone in the 9/11 Truth movement. He has since written others, including one detailing the “omissions and distortions” of the 9/11 Commission, the report of which fits the definition of “conspiracy theory” neatly, he says. “They started with the conclusion that al-Qaeda did it and didn’t even consider the alternative that it was an inside job.”
Griffin was a script consultant on Loose Change Final Cut, part of the internet phenomenon that set off the current explosion of low-budget 9/11 DVDs. The previous version was viewed more than 10 million times on Google Video, according to Vanity Fair. In 2002, armed only with a laptop and off-the-shelf video production software, Dylan Avery, an 18-year-old resident of Oneonta, New York, set about making a fictional film about discovering, with his friends, that 9/11 was orchestrated by the US government. At some point in his research, Avery had a “Dude, this shit is real!” moment and Loose Change entered the realm of agit-prop documentary. Final Cut makes a bold new allegation: the Twin Towers were packed with deadly asbestos, which would have cost billions to clean up. “If you bring down the buildings,” says Griffin, “not only do you not have to pay ... to clean them up, somebody is going to make billions of dollars on the insurance.”
September 11 as insurance job? This seems to expand the circle of conspirators somewhat. Griffin ventures another possible explanation: the psychological impact. “You had these massive explosions, which rather looked like a nuclear blast,” he says. “That’s always been the deep fear of America. In the run-up to the Iraq war, that’s what they were talking about – we cannot wait until we have a nuclear cloud.”
Griffin offers one further speculation, this time on a question which is controversial even among 9/11 sceptics: what hit the Pentagon? Thierry Meyssan was the first to claim that it was not Flight 77 – an American Airlines 757 carrying 64 passengers – but a cruise missile that hit the west wall of the Pentagon at 9.37am on September 11. Websites have followed suit, pointing to the apparent lack of plane debris on the Pentagon lawn and the fact that the hole left in the outer ring of the building looks too small to accommodate the wingspan of a 757. Retired US Air Force captain Russ Wittenberg from Pilots for 9/11 Truth asserted that no inexperienced pilot could have performed the manoeuvre the 9/11 Commission concluded that al-Qaeda conspirator Hani Hanjour pulled off that morning: a 330° turn, 2,200ft descent, a full-throttle dive and then a 530 miles per hour plunge at ground level into the Pentagon. Call it “the magic plane theory”: doubters believe that, just as the bullet that killed Kennedy appeared to defy the laws of physics, so the plane that struck the Pentagon was like no other in existence.
And just as Nasa [sic] was forced to counter claims the moon [sic] landings were faked, these and other claims have forced the US State Department into the debunking business. Its Identifying Misinformation website states that debris from Flight 77 was indeed recovered, as were the remains of passengers and crew. Many witnesses saw the plane come in, and a number of passengers made phone calls to their loved ones telling them their flight had been hijacked [sic].
There is also another obvious problem: if a missile hit the Pentagon, what happened to Flight 77? sic - read Pentagon's Operation Northwoods for that answer] “There was a rumour that an airliner had gone down on the Ohio/Kentucky border and that was taken very seriously early on by the Federal Aviation Authority,” says Griffin. It later rejected the story. But Griffin claims the only evidence that Flight 77 was aloft after that was an alleged phone call from [estranged] Barbara Olsen to Ted Olsen, the solicitor[liar]-general of the United States.
So how does he explain that phone call? Ted Olsen is a Bush administration insider [Bush v Gore], he says. Another possible answer, though, is “voice-morphing technology”. This would also explain the flurry of phone calls from United Airlines Flight 93, which, as the official story has it, crashed in a Pennsylvania field after passengers revolted against their hijackers.
It’s not just supporters of the official story who roll their eyes at these claims. They put Griffin in the camp of the “no-planers”, at least as far as the attack on the Pentagon is concerned. The no-planers enrage the rest of the Truthers [sic], who accuse them of sabotaging the credibility of the movement. The claim that no plane [sic - no airliner] hit the Pentagon is a Trojan horse, they say – disinformation that serves the conspirators [sic - read Operation Northwoods]. Some – such as former MI5 whistleblower David Shayler – have even asserted that no planes, but missiles disguised by “cloaking technology”, hit the Twin Towers. Shayler, incidentally, proclaimed himself the Messiah last year [and was one of many who reported the lawsuit of MI5/6 agents on trial for bombing Britain for the British Empire].
If the 9/11 truth movement is fighting a kind of asymmetric war against official sources of knowledge, it is also battling itself. As the movement morphs into an international activist group, it recognises that if it is to convince middle Americans, it must distance itself from its exotic fringe. Once, it was the Mihops versus the Lihops. These factions, who sound like warring species from an H.G. Wells story, are those who believe the government Made It Happen On Purpose and those who think it Let It Happen On Purpose. The Mihops are in the ascendancy.
The genesis of all this can be traced back to a schism that followed the first real attempt to bring scholarly credibility to the 9/11 sceptics. In 2005, Steven Jones was invited to form a group called Scholars for 9/11 Truth by [US Marine Corps Colonel] James Fetzer, a professor in the philosophy department at the University of Minnesota and the author of some 20 books on the philosophy of science and artificial intelligence. Fetzer teaches critical thinking, and is nothing if not critical. He has been campaigning for more than a decade to prove that the Zapruder film is a hoax perpetuated by the same government intelligence agencies that orchestrated JFK’s assassination [as confessed by Operation Northwoods].
But within a year, Jones had written to all members of Scholars announcing that he and others no longer wanted to be associated with Fetzer, who was, in the rebels’ opinion, holding them up to ridicule. [US Marine Corps Colonel] Fetzer had backed a theory by Judy Wood, a former assistant professor in mechanical engineering at Clemson University, proposing that the Twin Towers were brought down by a “directed energy” weapon developed as part of the US government’s Star Wars programme. It prompted a stampede to a new group, Scholars for 9/11 Truth & Justice, headed by Jones. Confusing the two groups would be like mistaking Monty Python’s Judean People’s Front for the People’s Front of Judea: this was a major doctrinal split. [see White House defended by Star Wars laser cannon]
Fetzer’s view is that any serious inquiry into what happened on 9/11 should look at all possibilities. Supporters of the directed energy hypothesis keep popping up at 9/11 Truth lectures to heckle what Python fans might call the “splittist” thermite theorists. Among the advocates of the Star Wars theory is [Reagan/Bush employee] Morgan Reynolds, perhaps the first prominent US government official to claim that 9/11 was an inside job. At the time of the attacks, Reynolds was chief economist at the US Department of Labor.
Some Star Wars supporters, in turn, accuse proponents of the thermite hypothesis of being government shills. One, on CheckTheEvidence.com, alleges that Jones’s public denunciation of Star Wars theories is actually a Trojan horse; he notes that Jones once worked at Los Alamos, where directed energy weapons are researched. This line of conjecture also entangles Norman Mineta, US transportation secretary on September 11 2001. Mineta was the man who grounded all civilian aircraft on that morning. But he was also once vice-president of Lockheed Martin, a founding member of the Directed Energy Professional Society [and killer robot aircraft] ... In this outer reach of the blogosphere, no one is ever more than six degrees of separation from the heart of the conspiracy.
Jones did, in fact, do post-doctoral research at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility for the University of Wyoming, but he says it was peaceful and non-weapons-related. He says the more out-there theories, including those of the no-planers, are harming the movement. “First, they discourage others who are trying to do serious work, and they tend to be quite vocal about their heckling,” he says. “More serious is that when we’re really trying to look at an evidence-based approach, we get lumped in with these people and then dismissed as a whole.”
Two days before Jones’s lecture in LA, his erstwhile colleague was taking his own campaign on the road on the other side of the country. After addressing Student Scholars for 9/11 Truth in New Hampshire, [US Marine Corps Colonel] Fetzer was off to that seat of academic respectability, Yale University. To prepare for our meeting, I watched a DVD of a 9/11 symposium he held in his new hometown of Madison, Wisconsin last year. The star of this show was Alfred Lambremont Webre, a judge on former Malaysian prime minister Mahathir Mohamad’s alternative international War Crimes Tribunal in Kuala Lumpur and co-author of the Space Preservation Treaty. He delivers what might be the most momentous opening line in the history of town hall seminars. “Fellow Citizens... 9/11 was a false flag operation by an international war crimes racketeering organisation to provide a pretext to engage in a genocidal and ecocidal depleted uranium bombing of central Asia, Afghanistan and Iraq in order to secure vast oil and uranium reserves [and prevent their use to multiply oil prices and destroy USA]; to roll out a terror-based national security state system worldwide and ... to implement the final stages of a world depopulation policy.” There are two more “false flag” operations in the pipeline, he says. The first is the war against asteroids, the second the “war against the evil aliens” [according to president Ronald Reagan and Sir Heinz "Henry" Kissinger Knight of the British Empire].
Hearing this, you either experience the thrill of revelation or the sinking feeling that the person you are listening to is having some kind of breakdown. Within 30 minutes, Webre has folded into the 9/11 plot the Skull & Bones society at Yale University – or the “Brotherhood of Death”, as he [sic - Skull & Bones] calls it – neocon think-thank the Council on Foreign Relations [founder of the United Nations Corporation], the [British Lords] Rothschilds, the Queen [on trial for murder of Princess Diana and family] and the City of London [financial district]. I wondered how all these conspiracies could be maintained without the whole conceit unravelling.
The answer, of course, is that there is only one conspiracy. Pearl Harbour, the moon [sic] landing, JFK [Sr & Jr], 9/11, the Illuminati, the Black Helicopters, Skull & Bones, chemtrails: all faces of the same demon. The plot goes all the way to the top, and all the way back in time. You could come to believe that it involves everyone except yourself – at which point it’s all over for you. And as I listened, I just waited for him to say the Word. And, inevitably, Webre brought it all back to the “international neo-Zionist organisation” [founder of socialism, communism, fascism and banksterism].
I asked [US Marine Corps Colonel] Fetzer about this as we sat in a cafe across from Yale, home of the Brotherhood of Death: how did he keep his scholars on message? “It’s obvious to me that you have to consider all the possible alternatives,” he says. “You can’t exclude any, lest, as you proceed in your investigation and eliminate hypotheses, you eliminate the true hypothesis because you’ve never allowed it to be considered.”
[US Marine Corps Colonel] Fetzer’s talk later that night does not go well. A Yale student had promoted the lecture on Facebook Events, but fellow students had apparently been unwilling to add their names, which anyone can see, perhaps for fear of ridicule. Only six show up. When it becomes clear that Fetzer is implicating some kind of Star Wars weapon, the two next to me begin scrolling distractedly through their mobile phone messages. Within 10 minutes, they have left.
The conclusion of the 9/11 Commission – the official story – is that the 2001 attacks got through because those charged with protecting America had not truly conceived of the threat: in its author’s evocative phrase, they had suffered a “failure of imagination”. After trawling the internet in search of 9/11 Truth, it seems to me the American imagination is strong. “Americans are very good at dreaming up these scenarios,” says Lewis Lapham, the former Harper’s magazine editor and a prominent critic of the Bush administration post-September 11. “We are open to all kinds of magical theories,” he says, citing the continuing fascination with the assassination of JFK. “We are also good at creating religions.” Lapham thinks the theory that 9/11 was an inside job follows in this long tradition, but also reflects cynicism among Americans towards their government. He does not accept that the Bush administration planned 9/11 or even allowed it to happen. Nonetheless, he thinks a new investigation [coverup] is warranted. In 2004, Harper’s ran a trenchant piece describing the 9/11 Commission as a “whitewash” and a “cheat and a fraud” for downplaying evidence that warnings of the al-Qaeda threat were ignored. Such flaws allowed space for alternative theories to develop, Lapham says.
In this, there are shades of the Warren Commission into the assassination of President Kennedy [read Operation Northwoods], which served merely to deepen popular distrust. But if we have seen the likes of the 9/11 Truth movement before, it also represents something new. “With the Kennedy assassination, pretty soon after the events themselves there were fairly significant questions being raised by people of all types and stripes about what actually happened,” says Mark Fenster, a University of Florida law professor and author of Conspiracy Theories: Secrecy and Power in American Culture. “But whereas then it was a generalised, amorphous kind of response, the amount of organisation – politically and through alternative media – is far more striking now than it was back then.”
Perhaps the 9/11 Truth movement is what one would expect in the dying days of an unpopular administration, and with no end in sight to a costly war [$10-trillion taxdollars, trillions in higher oil prices, 80,000 dead US soldiers, 600,000 disabled US soldiers, 2.6-million genocided Iraqis who had nothing to do with 9/11]. Whether it can maintain momentum when that government leaves office next year is anyone’s guess. In the meantime, some on the [treasonous Communist] left accuse it of letting the leaders they so vehemently distrust off the hook [bullshit]. “They make a mockery of [civil rights] causes by associating their nonsense [sic - Truth] with genuinely important issues [sic - like bogus "global warming" a/k/a sunshine requiring higher taxes for United Nations Corporation], and by diverting a large number of people who should know better into a unicorn hunt,” says British writer and activist George Monbiot. Monbiot is regularly heckled by 9/11 Truthers at public events after accusing them in The [London] Guardian [of the American-hating British Empire] of undermining genuine political opposition. His first column on the Truthers prompted a near-record number of postings on the paper’s Comment Is Free website – 777 [London 7/7 bombings perped by the British Empire and Mafia mayor Sir Rudy "Julie" Giuliani Knight of the British Empire] – many accusing him of being part of the conspiracy [duh].
“It’s very interesting to see,” he says, “particularly in the United States, how the anti-war movement has been largely co-opted in many places by the 9/11 Truth movement. And we desperately need an active anti-war movement [that refused to admit the nonstop Iraq War by Bush Sr, Clintons and Bush Jr started in 1990], because there is a lot of reckoning to be done.”
Glossary of doubt
No-planers: People who claim that it wasn’t an aircraft, but a missile, that hit the Pentagon on September 11 2001.

What the world saw that day, these sceptics argue, was either video trickery or cruise missiles disguised through image technology as aircraft.
Mihops: Truthers who believe the US government “Made it happen on purpose”, “it” being the destruction of September 11.
Lihops: A more moderate strain of truther who believe the government “Let it happen on purpose”.
Scholars for 9/11 Truth: Started by James Fetzer, the group advocates looking at all possible explanations of what happened on September 11, no matter how improbable.
Scholars for 9/11 Truth and Justice: The more moderate splinter group of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, led by Steven Jones. Endorses an “evidence-based approach” to questioning the 9/11 story.

BATH SCHOOL BOMBED IN MICHIGAN BY INSIDE JOB CONTROLLED DEMOLITION OF ONE TON OF PREINSTALLED EXPLOSIVES -
CONVICTED BOMBER WAS AN ELECTED POLITICIAN WORKING INSIDE THE SCHOOL WHO PERSONALLY WIRED THE DYNOMITE
"It's relevant that the worst school slaughter in USA was perped by an elected govt official, using a controlled demolition of preinstalled explosives, in an inside job. Sound familiar? Virginia Tech Massacre is kindergarten compared to what an elected member of a government school board did to little children in Michigan USA. But nobody discusses a ban on politicians. Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. This US politician also became the world's first suicide car bomber. The VA Tech shooter's sister was employed by CIA and Condi Rice, and Bush personally ordered the local police to stand down to allow the mass murder to succeed, just like he did on 9/11. This was the week of April 18th, which is the anniversary of the start of the US Revolutional War against the British Empire, at the Battle/Massacre at Lexington and concord, over King George's ban on 50-caliber assault rifle muskets. April 18 is also the anniversary of the massacres at Columbine High School, Oklahoma City and the Christian church in Waco/Crawford, all of which involved legislation to ban guns. This week, Congressman Dennis Kucinich introduced a bill to ban self defense, by banning all handguns and semi-auto rifles and shotguns. The VA Tech shooting successfully killed the impeachment bill against Dick Cheney, to be filed that week by Kucinich. The shooting also killed Rosie O'Donnell's scheduled interviews that week with 9/11 firefighters. Tax Day got zero coverage that week, when the big story was Aaron Russo's new documentary proving the income tax is voluntary, and was never ratified by state governments, as required by law."
—John Lee, Pirate News TV Blog, Bath School Massacre: US politician bombs US school - 45 dead, 18 April 2007
"With all due respect and sympathy to the victims and their families of the Columbine and McDonald's shootings, the Oklahoma bombing, and other mass murders, they were not the worst mass murders of children in the US. On May 18, 1927, 45 people, mostly children, were killed and 58 were injured when disgruntled and demented school board member Andrew Kehoe dynamited the new school building in Bath, Michigan out of revenge over his foreclosed farm due in part to the taxes required to pay for the new school."
—Ronald D. Bauerle, The Bath School Disaster
"The Bath School disaster is the name given to three bombings in Bath Township, Michigan, USA, on May 18, 1927, which killed 45 people and injured 58. Most of the victims were children in second to sixth grades attending the Bath Consolidated School. Their deaths constitute the deadliest act of mass murder in a school in U.S. history. The perpetrator was school board member Andrew Kehoe, who was upset by a property tax that had been levied to fund the construction of the school building. He blamed the additional tax for financial hardships which led to foreclosure proceedings against his farm. These events apparently provoked Kehoe to plan his attack. On the morning of May 18, Kehoe first killed his wife and then set his farm buildings on fire. As fire fighters arrived at the farm, an explosion devastated the north wing of the school building, killing many of the people inside. Kehoe used a detonator to ignite dynamite and hundreds of pounds of pyrotol which he had secretly planted inside the school over the course of many months. As rescuers started gathering at the school, Kehoe drove up, stopped, and detonated a bomb inside his shrapnel-filled vehicle, killing himself and the school superintendent, and killing and injuring several others. During the rescue efforts, searchers discovered an additional 500 pounds (230 kg) of unexploded dynamite and pyrotol planted throughout the basement of the school's south wing."

During the war the town and surrounding country suffered severely. The depot was burned, and much other property destroyed and carried away by both armies. At the close of hostilities, however, the unexcelled resources of this section soon restored it to its former prosperity, and at the present time Sweet Water is the largest shipping point between Knoxville and Chattanooga.
YAHOO NEWS, PRWEB – As reported by ABC News, stunning military documents codenamed Operation Northwoods were declassified in recent years and show how in 1962, the top US military leaders planned an operation to create terror attacks against its own cities and kill US citizens.
The documents state that through the fabrication of false evidence, the US would blame Cuba and gain public support for an unpopular war against Castro. They included developing a fake Communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, the use of airplanes, and much more.
For further details, the now declassified military documents are available at the National Security Archive of the George Washington University.
In his newly published book "Towers of Deception – The Media Cover-Up of 9/11," Barrie Zwicker, writes about Operation Northwoods and many other such operations that the military and intelligence community refer to as "false flag operations."
Zwicker is a lifelong journalist who was a media critic for 35 years and who often appeared on Canadian national TV and radio.
His book explains that these covert operations are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities, such as other countries or terrorist groups, to help demonize them and justify wars for geopolitical reasons and for financial gains.
The term "false flag" is derived from the naval warfare concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own.
The ABC News article dated May 1, 2001 explains that Operation Northwoods was approved and signed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Eisenhower appointee Army General Lyman L. Lemnitzer, and was presented to Kennedy’s Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on March 13, 1962.
A year earlier, President Eisenhower, apparently aware of such dangers, had warned the nation during his January 17, 1961 farewell address:
"In the counsels of Government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the Military Industrial Complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists, and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals so that security and liberty may prosper together."
General Lemnitzer, the Eisenhower appointee and highest ranking officer of the US military in 1962, recommended that Operation Northwoods be run by the military. It was signed and approved by all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the panel comprising the highest-ranking members of each major branch of the Armed Forces.
As per the ABC News article, the only reason why Operation Northwoods did not materialize in 1962 was because it was apparently turned down by President John F. Kennedy.
By law, the President of the United States is the commander in chief. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Army, the Marine Corps, the Navy, the Air Force and the Coast Guard, are all under his command.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff website explains that based on the Goldwater-Nichols DOD Reorganization Act of 1986, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is today the principal military adviser to the President but doesn’t exercise military command over any combatant forces.
The ABC News article quotes author of "Body of Secrets – Anatomy of the Ultra-Secret National Security Agency," James Bamford, a former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC’s World News Tonight. He says that if such war plans against American cities were put into operation, it would have amounted to treason.
Article III, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution states: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them..."
Bamford goes on to say that around that time, "the Senate Foreign Relations Committee published its own report on right-wing extremism in the military, warning a ‘considerable danger’ in the ‘education and propaganda activities of military personnel’ had been uncovered. The committee even called for an examination of any ties between Lemnitzer and right-wing groups. But Congress didn't get wind of Northwoods..."
Media critic Zwicker says that today, Congress and journalists have access to the declassified documents of Operation Northwoods and that the media must indeed reflect on Eisenhower’s warning of vigilance and be willing to learn and investigate more, publish more and broadcast more information about false flag operations to help prevent such acts of treason from being committed in the future.
In his controversial book critical of both the 9/11 "official story" and the media coverage of the events, Zwicker goes through the history of false flag operations dating back to the 1600s, and among many examples, cites the February 27th,1933 fire of the German Parliament (Reichstag fire) three days prior to Germany’s federal election.
Historians later documented that the fire had been authorized by right-wing Nazis where Hitler used the event to declare a state of emergency and pressured the German President, Hindenburg, to sign a decree abolishing most of the human rights provisions of the Constitution.
Recently, on August 29th 2006, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld recounted what he called "the lessons of history," including the failed efforts to appease the right-wing Adolf Hitler regime of the 1930s.
"I recount this history because once again we face the same kind of challenges in efforts to confront the rising threat of a new type of fascism," said Rumsfeld.
As a senior media critic, Zwicker strongly recommends that all media people indeed follow Rumsfeld’s suggestions in learning the lessons of Nazi history. He points to researching Hitler’s rise to power and how he created a fascist state where there was suppression of the opposition through secrecy, terror, torture and censorship, all justified under nationalism and patriotism.
He also believes that journalists should research and publish more about how Hitler's Nazis manipulated the German population into wars, using psychological manipulation and behavior modification by inducing trauma and fear in others, a process of trauma-based mind control referred to in the now declassified CIA files of "MK ULTRA."
Zwicker believes that the media must investigate and report on whether these fear-based psychological manipulation techniques have been or are being put into application by US leaders in our post 9/11 world, as they appear to be. 9/11 caused much trauma and fear.
Concerned with the direction that the US has headed since 9/11, Dr. Robert M. Bowman, referring to the Bush / Cheney administration during a radio interview, said: "I think there's been nothing closer to fascism than what we've seen lately from this government.”
Bowman is a retired United States Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, a recipient of the Eisenhower Medal, a former head of the US "Star Wars" space weapons program during the Reagan administration and one of America’s foremost experts on National Security.
He commented about the Patriot Act as having, "Done more to destroy the rights of Americans than all of our enemies combined."
Bowman is part of a group of notable experts called the "Scholars For 9/11 Truth" made up of professors, engineers, former intelligence and military personnel, journalists, attorneys and many other professionals who say that the 9/11 attacks raise a red flag because they have many elements of false flag operations, such as a "stand-down" of the military defense on that day, one that must be questioned.
The group, made up of several dozen scholars, believes that the media must no longer ignore the fact that a growing number of them are calling for truly independent investigations into 9/11, including investigations to look into the evidence that points towards a possible false flag operation.
The group’s call for a truly independent 9/11 investigation appears to resonate with a growing number of mainstream Americans.
A May 2006 Zogby poll of 1,200 adults nationwide found that 45% of those surveyed said that Congress or an International Tribunal should re-investigate the attacks, including whether any US government officials consciously allowed or helped facilitate their success.
Part of the popularity of this growing awareness may be due in part to the millions of people who have viewed one of the most watched online videos of all time, called "Loose Change," which addresses false flag operations and raises serious new questions about the official government 9/11 story.
The Zogby poll also showed that more than 42 percent believe that the government and the 9/11 Commission concealed or refused to investigate critical evidence that contradicts their official explanation of the September 11th attacks.
The mainstream American public has not been alone in their frustration from lack of answers about the official 9/11 story. Addressing the White House commissioned 9/11 investigation, a September 1st, 2006 Associated Press article states that:
"The Sept. 11 commission's chairmen, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, said in their recently published book that the commission found it mind-boggling that authorities claimed that their air defenses had reacted quickly. In the book, ‘Without Precedent,’ Kean and Hamilton said the panel was so frustrated with repeated misstatements by the Pentagon and FAA about their response to the 2001 terror attacks that it considered an investigation into possible deception."
On August 9th, 2006, referring to their book and to this issue, CNN’s Lou Dobbs as saying: "But the fact that they were (would) continue and perpetuate the lie, suggests that we need a full investigation of what is going on and what is demonstrably an incompetent and at worst deceitful federal government."
The historic reality of the deception of false flag operations is confirmed by former Justice Department prosecutor, John Loftus, who once held some of the highest security clearances in the world with special access to NATO Cosmic, CIA codeword, and Top Secret Nuclear files.
Loftus has been sought after for his terrorism expertise by Fox News, MSNBC, ABC, and many other media across the USA. In a radio interview, when asked about "Operation Northwoods," he said "Sure, yeah, yeah. But you know it, there were thousands of those plans."
In his book, Zwicker elaborates that false flag operations are the least-recognized, highest impact category of human deceit. He says: "False flag op is the indispensable, most dependable device rulers use to mobilize their populations, especially behind wars the rulers want."
According to a radio interview on Vancouver’s Coop radio, Zwicker believes that it is not impossible that such future events have already been planned in order to move the US towards Martial Law.
The media critic has concluded that not unlike Germany in the 1930s, a relatively small right-wing extremist group of rulers want more and more power, and will gradually further eliminate civil liberties by manipulating people’s minds using more Orwellian language.
He says that if the media doesn’t start paying more attention, there will be increased oppression of opposition that will likely move America, and perhaps other Western countries, towards a gradual further elimination of civil liberties. He calls this the path towards a new fascism, one controlled by a small group of ruling elites who perpetuate war after war, such as a never-ending "war on terror," to maintain their power and control.
Dr. Steven Greer has met and spoken to many intelligence, military, government and corporate whistleblowers who explain that to sustain and expand their existence in their current form, the military, industrial, intelligence, laboratory complex need a constant influx of new enemies.
Greer was told that conflicts would evolve "from Cold War, to Rogue Nations, to Global Terrorism, to the ultimate trump card: A hoaxed threat from space."
On a brighter note, Zwicker believes that our current path of enmification, the art and consequence of enemy-making, can be reversed if, for example, the media investigates terrorist attacks to find out if they are false flag operations, expose deception, and keep the ruling elites and their circles accountable, not unlike how the Washington Post covered Watergate in the early 1970s.
The Washington Post did a story about Fred Burks in December 2004. He is a whistleblower and former senior State Department language interpreter to top-level politicians such as President Bill Clinton and President George W. Bush.
Based on his website that exposes cover-ups, Burks believes that we first need to speak candidly about what's happening in the world at present and move beyond secrecy and fear. He concludes that the more informed we are, the more difficult it will be to perpetuate the deception of any future false flag operations.
Burks supports choices that lead to a more spiritual and purpose-centered life of "Compassion In Action," as referred to by President Bush on December 12, 2002.
He also believes that when we walk our talk, we can inspire others to lead in a way that creates a brighter future for all.
Burks’ philosophy resonates with Zwicker’s message about how, by working together in exposing the deception of false flag operations, the media and people from all levels of society can help prevent them, reduce the manufacturing of fear and hate, and improve the human condition.
Zwicker will be speaking at the Great Hall at Cooper Union in New York City on September 10th, 2006, a conference where he will be joined with Dr. Robert Bowman and other researchers who are encouraging the media to further learn about false flag operations.
Washington Post - Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden is a longtime and prominent member of the FBI's "Ten Most Wanted" list, which notes his role as the suspected mastermind of the deadly U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa on Aug. 7, 1998.
But another more infamous date -- Sept. 11, 2001 -- is nowhere to be found on the same FBI notice.
The curious omission underscores the Justice Department's decision, so far, to not seek formal criminal charges against bin Laden for approving al-Qaeda's most notorious and successful terrorist attack. The notice says bin Laden is "a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughout the world" but does not provide details.
The absence has also provided fodder for conspiracy theorists who think the U.S. government or another power was behind the Sept. 11 hijackings. From this point of view, the lack of a Sept. 11 reference suggests that the connection to al-Qaeda is uncertain.
"There's no mystery here," said FBI spokesman Rex Tomb. "They could add 9/11 on there, but they have not because they don't need to at this point. There is a logic to it."
David N. Kelley, the former U.S. attorney in New York who oversaw terrorism cases when bin Laden was indicted for the embassy bombings there in 1998, said he is not at all surprised by the lack of a reference to Sept. 11 on the official wanted poster. Kelley said the issue is a matter of legal restrictions an
