9/11
truther leading Egyptian presidential race 21 May 2012 An Islamist
who believes that the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States were
an American conspiracy [which, of course, it was] is the front-runner
in Egypt's presidential race, a new poll shows. Abdel-Moneim Abolfotoh,
formerly a leading figure in the Muslim Brotherhood, led the field of
13 candidates with 32 percent of the vote in a survey released Monday
by the Washington-based Brookings Institution. Mr. Abolfotoh expressed
his views on the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and
the Pentagon in an interview last year with Egypt scholar Eric Trager.

9/11:
'Awkward gaps and contradictions in official explanations' - You
betcha!
By Lori Price, www.legitgov.org
26 Jan 2011 I'd like to know *once and for all* how Osama bin Laden was
able to command
NORAD to 'stand down' the morning of the 9/11 attacks? I'd also like
to know how bin Laden was able to 'pull'
Lucky Larry's Building
7 (which, incidentally, was announced as having collapsed on
the BBC before it even (exploded then) fell -- truth be damned). Bin
Laden gave the order to shoot
down a US commercial aircraft over Shanksville,
PA? And, the lone terrorist rushed
to squander, apparently in conjunction with the FBI -- like a squirrel
in the dead of winter -- the surveillance footage of the 'plane'
that hit the Pentagon? Osama bin Laden was responsible for 'huge surges
in purchases of put options on stocks of the two airlines used in
the attack -- United Airlines and American Airlines?'

Truth Is No "Parlor Game"
21 Jan 2011 By Jim Fetzer A disturbing article, "The
9/11 'Truth' Parlor Game" (15 January 2011), by Robert Parry, advances
the indefensible theory that the shooting of Representative Gabrielle
Giffords (D-AZ) was affected by the shooter's interest in 9/11 truth.
While there are good reasons to suspect that the political climate nurtured
by the right wing may have influenced him (by targeting a series of representatives
using the cross-hairs of a telescopic site, for example), there is no
reason to believe than anyone associated with the 9/11 truth movement
has targeted any members of Congress--other than attempting to expose
them to the evidence that research has unearthed, which has shown that
virtually every claim the government has made about 9/11 is provably false.
NASA
Flight Director Confirms 9/11 Aircraft Speed As "Elephant In the Room"
By Pilots For
9/11 Truth 22 Jun 2010 Recently, Pilots For 9/11 Truth have analyzed
the speeds reported for the aircraft utilized on 9/11. Numerous aviation
experts have voiced their concerns regarding the extremely excessive speeds
reported above Maximum Operating for the 757 and 767, particularly, United
and American Airlines 757/767 Captains who have actual flight time in
all 4 aircraft reportedly used on 9/11. These experts state the speeds
are impossible to achieve near sea level in thick air if the aircraft
were a standard 757/767 as reported. Combined with the fact the airplane
which was reported to strike the south tower of the World Trade Center
was also producing high G Loading while turning and pulling out from a
dive, the whole issue becomes incomprehensible to fathom a standard 767
can perform such maneuvers at such intense speeds exceeding Maximum Operating
limits of the aircraft.
'9/11
panel was warned not to probe too deeply' --Leaked
confidential documents have revealed that senior officials from the former
US administration had warned a 9/11 investigation panel against probing
too deeply into the terrorist attacks.
18 Mar 2010 In a letter obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union
(ACLU), the 9/11 Commission was refused permission to question terror
suspects, with the Bush administration arguing that by doing so the panel
would "cross" a "line" and obstruct the administration's efforts to protect
the nation. Citing the need to "Safeguard the national security, including
protection of Americans from [their] future terrorist attacks," the government
officials demanded the Commission not make further attempts at conducting
a deeper probe into the September 11 terror attacks. [Right,
they didn't want people to know that 9/11
was an inside job. Gibbs and DiNozzo would have had the investigation
wrapped up in the first 42 minutes of 'NCIS.'
Abby's mass spectrometer would reveal the explosive
residue in WTC 1, 2 and 'Lucky' Larry 'the
smartest thing to do is pull it' Silverstein's WTC
7 (not even hit by any planes), which was announced
on the BBC as having fallen about a half hour before it actually did fall.
Oops. McGee would analyze the insider trading (Pre-9/11

have the whole kit and caboodle delivered with lots of time remaining
for Tony and Ziva to do the flirt thing. I have a whole script penned.

Explosive
News 22 Feb 2010 A lingering technical question about the Sept.
11 terrorist attacks still haunts some, and it has political implications:
How did 200,000 tons of steel disintegrate and drop in 11 seconds?
A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress
to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and
Building 7 at the World Trade Center. "In order
to bring down this kind of mass in such a short period of time, the material
must have been artificially, exploded outwards," says Richard
Gage, a San Francisco architect and founder of the nonprofit Architects
& Engineers for 9/11 Truth. Mr. Gage, who is a member of the American
Institute of Architects, managed to persuade more than 1,000 of his peers
to sign a new petition requesting a formal inquiry.
New
9/11 photos released By James Fetzer, Ph.D. 10 Feb 2010 Newly
released aerial photos (AP via ABC News, Det.
Greg Semendinger) of the World Trade Center terror attack capture
the towers' dramatic collapse, from just after the first fiery plane strike
to the apocalyptic dust clouds that spread over lower Manhattan. But the
photos suggest something else was going on. This does not look like a
"collapse".
FBI
admits Spanish politican was model for 'high-tech' Osama bin Laden photo-fit
--Mr Llamazares said the mistake showed the "low level" of US intelligence
services.
16 Jan
2010 The FBI has admitted using a photograph of a bearded Spanish politician
as the basis for a mocked-up photofit image showing how Osama Bin Laden
might look now. The US state department was forced to withdraw the mocked
up photo-image, circulated around the world last week, after the discovery
that it was not quite as technically sophisticated as the FBI had originally
claimed. Gaspar Llamazares, a member of Spain's communist party and the
former leader of the United Left coalition in parliament, said his forehead,
hair and jaw-line had been "cut and pasted" from an old campaign photograph.
[Notice that the FBI -- which couldn't stop an asthma attack, never
mind a terror attack -- picked a leftist as their Osama bin Laden?]
Spanish
politician to sue FBI over Bin Laden photo
17 Jan 2010 Spanish politician Gaspar Llamazares threatens to prosecute
the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for using his photo to produce
al-Qaeda [al-CIAduh] leader Osama bin Laden's modern image. Llamazares,
the former leader of Spain's United Left communist party and the caucus's
current spokesperson in the parliament, has expressed 'stupefaction' over
the FBI's misuse of his picture to compose a digitally-enhanced photo
of the al-Qaeda leader, warning the agency of legal action unless justification
is provided.
Rudy
Giuliani, former mayor of New York City, omits 9/11 while bashing Obama
on terror 08
Jan 2010 Rudy Giuliani has been teased for only having three words in
his vocabulary - a noun, a verb and 9/11 - but Friday "America's Mayor"
seemed to forget about 9/11. The embarrassing flub came as Giuliani hit
the morning news shows to suggest that President Obama needs to take more
cues from ex-President [sic] George W. Bush when it comes to fighting
terror. "One of the right things [Bush] did was treat this as a war on
terror," Giuliani told "Good Morning America" host George Stephanopoulos.
Then Giuliani proclaimed, in words he would soon regret, "We
had no domestic attacks under Bush. We've had one under Obama,"
referring to November's shootings at Fort Hood by a radical Army psychiatrist.

Fifty
questions on 9/11 By Pepe Escobar 11 Sep 2009 It's September 11
all over again - eight years on. The George W Bush administration is out.
The "global war on terror" is still on, renamed "overseas contingency
operations" by the Barack Obama administration. Obama's "new strategy"
- a war escalation - is in play in AfPak. Osama bin Laden may be dead
or not. "Al-Qaeda" remains a catch-all ghost entity. September 11 - the
neo-cons' "new Pearl Harbor" - remains the darkest jigsaw puzzle of the
young 21st century.
Sheen
wants to discuss his 9/11 theories with Obama 09 Sep 2009 Actor
Charlie Sheen has written a letter
to President Barack Obama requesting a meeting over Sheen's theories about
the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Sheen has always been outspoken about his
views on the attacks, supporting a conspiracy theory that the U.S.
government at the time defrauded the public with its official story about
the incident. The star has now written to Obama asking him to reopen the
investigation into 9/11.
Independent
Investigation Into Pentagon Attack Yields Alarming Information
30 Aug 2009 A three year independent investigation into the September
11, 2001 attack on the Pentagon has yielded new eyewitness evidence
[an 81-minute video
presentation entitled National Security Alert] which, according to
the Southern California-based researchers who conducted the investigation,
"conclusively (and unfortunately) establishes as a historical fact
that the violence which took place in Arlington that day was not the result
of a surprise attack by suicide hijackers, but rather a military black
operation involving a carefully planned and skillfully executed deception."

Obama
administration seeks to quash suit by 9/11 families
By Barry Grey 26 Jun 2009 The Obama administration has intervened to quash
a civil suit filed against Saudi Arabia by survivors and family members
of victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The suit seeks
to hold the Saudi royal family liable, charging that it provided financial
and other support to Al Qaeda and was thereby complicit in the hijack
bombings that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York and Washington DC.
Saudi
royals funded 9/11: Lawyers 24 Jun 2009 Lawyers representing the
families of the 9/11 victims, expose evidence allegedly proving the Saudi
royal family's financial support for al-Qaeda [al-CIAduh]. The lawyers
provided The New York Times with excerpts of the material they
had amassed by putting together the pieces from leaking American intelligence
documents among other things, the daily reported
on Tuesday. The evidence recounts how the Saudi royalty would use middlemen
and financial supply routes to bankroll militants based in Afghanistan
and Bosnia. The family, which had strong ties with the Bush administration,
is also suspected of having reinforced the militancy otherwise and enlisted
militant agents using intermediaries including the Saudi High Commission
for Aid to Bosnia.

Justice Department had the lawyers' copies destroyed and now wants to

Back Saudi Link to Extremists
24 Jun 2009 Documents gathered by lawyers for the families of Sept. 11
victims provide new evidence of extensive financial support for Al Qaeda
and other extremist groups by members of the Saudi royal family, but the
material may never find its way into court because of legal and diplomatic
obstacles. The Justice Department is siding with
the Saudis in court last month in seeking to kill further legal action.
Adding to the intrigue, classified American intelligence documents related
to Saudi finances were leaked anonymously to lawyers for the families.

on June 22, Quintin Peterson, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police
Department, said in a telephone interview. Wherley was commander of the
113th Fighter Wing at Andrews Air Force base in Maryland during the September
2001 terrorist attacks and sent up aircraft with orders to protect the
White House and the Capitol, according to the 9/11 Commission report.

9/11
Commission Memo: 'Executive Branch Minders' Intimidation of Witnesses'
Posted by HistoryCommons 14 Mar 2009 A memo from the 9/11 Commission's
team 2 about the intimidation of witnesses. The memo
complains that: Minders "answer[ed] questions directed at witnesses;"
Minders acted as "monitors, reporting to their respective agencies
on Commission staffs lines of inquiry and witnesses' verbatim responses."
The staff thought this "conveys to witnesses that their superiors
will review their statements and may engage in retribution;" and
Minders "positioned themselves physically and have conducted themselves
in a manner that we believe intimidates witnesses from giving full and
candid responses to our questions."
'Lucky

job: $21.5M - to do nothing at all --Port Authority paying Larry Silverstein
$21.5 million but has yet to seek 'development' tips 14 Apr 2009 The
Port Authority is paying Larry Silverstein $21.5 million to develop the
Freedom Tower - even though he has absolutely no role in building the
1,776-foot icon, the Daily News has learned. More than two years after
the builder lost control of the planned 102-story tower at Ground Zero,
he is collecting $500,000 monthly "development fees" - and the checks
will keep flowing until mid-2010, documents show. The giveaway - $15.25
million so far and an additional $6.25 million in the pipeline - is costing
bridge and tunnel commuters the equivalent of 2.7 million George Washington
Bridge tolls or 12.3 million PATH fares.
Dutch
TV show exonerates Osama bin Laden --'Devil's Advocate' jury finds
no proof he was behind Sept. 11
09 Apr 2009 Dutch TV jury has found Osama bin Laden not guilty of the
Sept. 11 attacks. In the conclusion Wednesday night to the show "Devil's
Advocate" on Dutch public broadcaster Nederland 2, the jury of two men
and three women, along with the studio audience, ruled there was no proof
bin Laden was the mastermind behind the attacks on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon in 2001. Defense attorney Gerard Spong was able to convince
the jury that bin Laden's connection to Sept. 11 was a product of "Western
propaganda." The jury also ruled there was insufficient evidence to prove
bin Laden was the real head of terrorist network al-Qaida.
Traces
of explosives in 9/11 dust, scientists say 06
Apr 2009 Tiny red and gray chips found in the dust from the collapse of
the World Trade Center contain highly explosive materials -- proof, according
to a former BYU professor, that 9/11 is still a sinister
mystery. Physicist Steven E. Jones, who retired from Brigham Young
University in 2006, is one of nine authors on a paper published last week
in the online, peer-reviewed Open Chemical Physics Journal. For several
years, Jones has theorized that pre-positioned explosives, not fires
from jet fuel, caused the rapid, symmetrical collapse of the two World
Trade Center buildings, plus the collapse of a third building, WTC-7.
Active
Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center
Catastrophe By Reprehensor 04 Apr 2009 From Dr. Steven Jones:
Formally published in a peer-reviewed Chemical Physics journal, today:
"Active Thermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World
Trade Center Catastrophe" by Niels H. Harrit, Jeffrey Farrer,
Steven E. Jones, Kevin R. Ryan, Frank M. Legge, Daniel Farnsworth, Gregg
Roberts, James R. Gourley and Bradley R. Larsen. The paper ends with this
sentence: "Based on these observations, we conclude that the red
layer of the red/gray chips we have discovered in the WTC dust is active,
unreacted thermitic material, incorporating nanotechnology, and is a highly
energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material." In short, the paper
explodes the official story that "no evidence" exists for explosive/pyrotechnic
materials in the WTC buildings.

Consumes WTC 7-Size Skyscraper, Building Does Not Collapse By
Paul Joseph Watson 09 Feb 2009 A fierce fire consumed all 44 floors of
a skyscraper in Beijing today, shooting 30 foot flames into the air, but
unlike the similarly-sized 47-story WTC 7, which suffered limited fires
across just eight floors, the building in China did not collapse...
Compare images of WTC 7 with those of the skyscraper fire in Beijing.
Note that the Beijing skyscraper appears to be leaning due to the unorthodox
design of the building - it did not suffer any kind of collapse. How do
the debunkers explain away this one? How come NIST's
newly invented "phenomenon" of "thermal expansion"
didn’t put paid to the skyscraper in Beijing? Does fire have different
properties in China compared to the U.S.?

Anthrax
Links to 9-11 By Barbara Honegger 25 Sep 2008 Superweaponizing
anthrax was one of Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld’s top priorities. Two
days before 9/11, on Sept. 9, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) held
a rare press conference in which it revealed that on his first day as
Secretary of Defense, Rumsfeld ordered the DIA to take Project Jefferson,
a secret and illegal anthrax weaponization program (probably using the
Ames strain contained in the anthrax letters) to the next level of lethality
and that it had achieved 'success' earlier that month in a classified
field test. The mainstream press reported this event on Sept. 10.
"10-5
the message about the remote controlled plane!" --Deconstructing
a False-Flag Operation By Culhavoc 01 Jul 2005 A while back I came
upon a recording of NYPD radio which was labeled as if it had taken place
on 9/11. I never got around to listening to the recording… until now.
After cleaning up the audio (normalization and noise reduction) I made
a transcript of the transmissions... There are three key pieces of information
in this ~3 minute segment. The first major piece is the statement "10-5
the message about the remote controlled plane". (10-5 is "10
code" for "repeat message") The remote controlled plane
statement is interesting since this modus operandi is detailed in Operation
Northwoods, a 1962 plan by the Joint Chiefs to carry out terror attacks
on American soil to be used as a pretext to invade Cuba.

have been dismissed, or impeached. It has kept him and his gang of financial
and constitutional crooks in office without -- literally -- any visible
means of support. 9/11 (TM) has made possible the greatest sleight-of-hand

be compromised if the airline industry is allowed to seek more information
from the FBI to defend itself against lawsuits brought by terrorism victims.
In papers filed late Tuesday, the government urged a judge to block aviation
companies from interviewing five FBI employees who the companies say will
help them prove the government withheld key information before the
2001 attacks.
'So
what did hit the Pentagon? What hit it? Where is it? What's going on?'
Lawmaker
takes 9/11 doubts global 17 Jun 2008 In January 2008 Diet member
Yukihisa Fujita, a member of the Democratic Party of Japan, asked the
Japanese Parliament and Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda to explain gaping
holes in the official 9/11 story that various groups claim to have exposed...
Fujita urges the Bush administration to put the issue to rest simply by
showing videos that show the plane that hit the Pentagon. Instead, only
a few grainy images have been released to the public. More disconcertingly,
many videos taken by surrounding businesses were confiscated by the
FBI immediately after the Pentagon explosion. The Pennsylvania crash,
like the Pentagon explosion, also yielded virtually no recognizable plane
parts at the crash site... The official story -- that the plane "vaporized"
when it hit the ground -- is inconsistent with the evidence left by
every other plane crash in the history of aviation.
USA
Military Officers Challenge Official Account of September 11
22 May 2008 Twenty-five former U.S. military officers have severely criticized
the official account of 9/11 and called for a new investigation. They
include former commander of U.S. Army Intelligence, Major General Albert
Stubblebine, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, Col. Ronald
D. Ray, two former staff members of the Director of the National Security
Agency; Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski, PhD, and Major John M. Newman, PhD,
and many others. "A lot of these pieces of information, taken together,
prove that the official story, the official conspiracy theory of 9/11
is a bunch of hogwash. It's impossible," said Lt. Col. Robert Bowman,
PhD, U.S. Air Force (ret). With doctoral degrees in Aeronautics and Nuclear
Engineering, Col. Bowman served as Director of Advanced Space Programs
Development under Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter.

Aviation
companies blame FBI, CIA and terrorists for 9/11 01 May 2008 Aviation
companies sued by the families of Sept. 11 victims for failing to safeguard
air travel are in turn blaming federal investigators -- arguing the Federal
Aviation Administration was not alerted that al-Qaida [al-CIAduh] was
poised to launch terrorist attacks. In court documents filed this week
in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, aviation companies are seeking to
force five FBI employees to provide testimony that may help defend against
claims the companies share blame in the attacks. "The aviation parties
anticipate that the FBI witnesses' testimony will demonstrate that the
FBI had information before Sept. 11 indicating that al-Qaida may have
been about to launch terrorist attacks on civil aviation, which it
did not timely pass along to the Federal Aviation Administration," lawyers
wrote.
9/11

the founder of Scholars
for 9/11 Truth explained why the anti-war movement and the 9/11 truth
movement should be more closely linked, since exposing the truth about

Arizona Senator Questions 9/11 Official Version of Events --Republican
attacked for expressing opinion on September 11th cover-up By Steve

criticism for going on record with her doubts over the government's version
of events surrounding the 9/11 attacks. Following a vote in the Senate
Appropriations Committee on Arizona's 9/11 Memorial, Johnson told Capitol
reporters "There are many of us that believe there's been a cover-up."

U.N.
Official Calls for Study of Neocons' Role in 9/11 10 Apr 2008
A new U.N. Human Rights Council official assigned to monitor Israel [Richard
Falk, Milbank professor of international law emeritus at Princeton University]
is calling for an official commission to study the role
neoconservatives may have played in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The narrative that the attacks from 2001 were a "false flag" operation
is a recurring theme in the literature challenging the consensus
conspiracy theory that 19 al-Qaeda hijackers flew commercial jets into
the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. False flag refers to espionage
or covert actions taken by one government made to seem like the work of
another. The false flag thesis has it that the Bush administration
is somehow responsible for the September 11 attacks as a pretext for the
wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. [And
so much more!]
The
9/11 Stand Down in 2 Minutes 27 Mar 2008 NORAD, responsible for
intercepting errant aircraft over the U.S., has a standard operating procedure
for scrambling planes for interception which takes
less than 15 minutes. They did this successfully (on time) 129
times in 2000 and 67
times between September 2000 and June 2001. Yet, on September 11th,
they failed to do their job 4 times in a single day.

Where Barack Obama and Condi Rice Sound Alarmingly Alike By Kristen
Breitweiser 03 Apr 2008 Barack Obama appeared on MSNBC's Hardball
last night and was asked about the way he would handle the 3 a.m. phone
call... OBAMA: 'Oh, well, the--I don't think anybody predicted 9/11. And,
so, we don't know what kinds of circumstances are going to come up.' Yup.
That's right, Barack Obama glibly stated that he didn't "think anybody
predicted 9/11." Some thoughts: 1. Maybe Obama needs a tutorial from former
Vice Chairman of the 9/11 Commission, Lee Hamilton, who just endorsed
him yesterday. Heck, even Hamilton knows and has to acknowledge that 9/11
was predictable... Lee Hamilton is largely responsible for the 9/11 Commission's
Final Report being a total whitewash.

Investigators Accused of WTC Cover-Up --American Society of
Civil Engineers lied about inability of skyscrapers to withstand airliner
impacts By Paul Joseph Watson Mar 26 2008 The American Society of
Civil Engineers - an organization that was funded by FEMA to investigate
the collapse of the twin towers on 9/11 - has been accused of engaging
in a cover-up to protect the government, with critics charging the organization
falsified conclusions that skyscrapers could not withstand getting hit
by airplanes.

society accused of cover-ups in Katrina, WTC probes
25 Mar 2008 The professional organization for engineers who build the
nation's roads, dams and bridges has been accused by fellow engineers
of covering up catastrophic design flaws while investigating national
disasters. After the [Bush] 2001 attack on the World Trade Center and
the levee failures caused by Hurricane Katrina [explosives] in 2005, the
federal government paid the American Society of Civil Engineers to investigate
what went wrong. Critics now accuse the group of covering up engineering
mistakes, downplaying the need to alter building standards, and using
the investigations to protect engineers and government agencies from lawsuits.

accused of training 9/11 pilots can claim millions in damages
14 Feb 2008 An Algerian man who was wrongly accused of training five of

compensation. Lotfi Raissi, who lives in Chiswick, was held in jail for
four and a half months shortly after the New York attacks as the US authorities
tried to extradite him for questioning over his alleged terrorist links.
He was freed after a judge ruled there was no evidence to support the
allegations, despite objections from prosecutors acting on behalf of the
American government.

of the commission that investigated the Sept 11 terrorist attacks had
closer ties to the White House than he admitted and tried to limit the

staff to avoid findings that would be damaging to President [sic] George
W Bush, who was running for re-[s]election, and Condoleezza Rice, his
then National Security Adviser.

Senator Questions 9/11 By Alan Miller 12 Jan 2008 On January 11th
2008, Fujita Yukihisa made a 30 minute presentation at the House of Councillors
(equivalent to the U.S. Senate). He directly questioned the official version
of 9/11 in a session with Japanese Prime Minister Fukuda Yasuo and members
of his Cabinet. Fujita is a member of the opposition party, Democratic
Party of Japan (DPJ). He was elected to the House of Councillors in 2007.
Transcript
of Japanese Parliamentary discussion of 911
--Transcript of testimony in the Japanese Parliament, broadcast live nationwide
on NHK television. The Member of Parliament talking about 911 is Yukihisa
Fujita from the Democratic Party of Japan. Yukihisa Fujita: Just
before the 911 attacks, i.e., on September 6th, 7th and 8th, there were
put options put out on the stocks of the two airlines United and American
that were hit by hijackers. There were also put options on Merrill Lynch,
one of the biggest WTC tenants. In other words,
somebody had insider information and made a fortune selling put options
of these stocks. The head of Germany's Bundesbank at the time,
who is equivalent to the Governor of the Bank of Japan, said there are
lots of facts to prove the people involved in the terror attacks profited
from insider information. He said there was lots of suspicious trading
involving financial companies, etc., prior to the attacks. The had of
the Bundesbank was willing to say this much. I would like to ask the Finance
Minster about these put options. Did the government of Japan know about
this, and what do you think about this?
9/11
and the incompetence excuse: Could a bunch of sociopathic screw-ups really
pull off the crime of the century? By Warren Pease 09 Jan 2008
Many who deny government complicity in 9/11/01 maintain that some of the
best evidence against official involvement in the crime of the century
lies in the Bush administration's unbroken record of sheer incompetence,
an argument bolstered by the perception that key members of the administration,
notably The Commander Guy, spent that entire day running around like headless
chickens. On the contrary, they did no such thing. Rather, the administration
was highly competent and enormously successful that day -- they just had
different criteria for success than would sane people. And they've been
highly competent ever since.

CIA
obstructed 9/11 investigators: report 22 Dec 2007 The CIA obstructed
an official US investigation into the September 11 attacks by withholding
tapes of interrogations of 'Al-Qaeda' operatives, according to former
investigators quoted in a report
on Saturday.
9/11
Panel Study Finds That C.I.A. Withheld Tapes 22 Dec 2007 A review
of classified documents by former members of the Sept. 11 commission shows
that the panel made repeated and detailed requests to the Central Intelligence
Agency in 2003 and 2004 for documents and other information about the
interrogation of operatives of 'Al Qaeda,' and were told by a top C.I.A.
official that the agency had "produced or made available for review"
everything that had been requested. In interviews this week, the two chairmen
of the commission, Lee H. Hamilton and Thomas H. Kean, said their reading
of the report had convinced them that the agency
had made a conscious decision to impede the Sept. 11 commission's inquiry.

state secrets related to the 9/11 'hijackings.'
French
Author Accused of Outing 9/11 Secrets
08 Dec 2007 A French anti-terrorist judge has filed preliminary charges
against an investigative journalist and author accused of publishing defense
secrets, judicial officials said Friday. Authorities are investigating
articles by Guillaume Dasquie, including one that reported French intelligence
had suspected al-Qaida [al-CIAduh] of planning a plane hijacking nine
months before the Sept. 11 attacks. On Thursday, investigating judge
Philippe Coirre, who handles anti-terrorist [?]
cases, filed preliminary charges, the officials said. The charges
are for "possessing secret defense documents'' and "divulging
secret defense documents or intelligence,'' the officials said. One of
two publications under investigation is an April article by Dasquie published
in Le Monde called "Sept. 11: The French Had Long Known,''
which included excerpts of confidential documents from the DGSE intelligence
agency. One note, dated Jan. 5, 2001, said al-Qaida was plotting a hijacking
and listed potential airline targets, including the two carriers, United
and American, that were targeted in the Sept. 11 attacks later that year.

purportedly featuring an introduction from al Qaeda [al-CIAduh] leader

of the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington. In the
video's introduction, a voice identified as bin Laden's praises 9/11 hijacker

the attacks are now in doubt. Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri
was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American
Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September. His photograph
was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around
the world. He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the
attacks on New York and Washington, and had been in Morocco when they

U.S.
Navy 'Top Gun' Pilot Questions 9/11 By Alan Miller 05 Sep 2007
U.S. Navy 'Top Gun' pilot, Commander Ralph Kolstad, started questioning
the official account of 9/11 within days of the event... Commander Kolstad
is especially critical of the account of American Airlines Flight 77 that
allegedly crashed into the Pentagon. He says, "At the Pentagon, the
pilot of the Boeing 757 did quite a feat of flying. I have 6,000 hours
of flight time in Boeing 757’s and 767’s and I could not have flown it
the way the flight path was described..." Regarding the alleged impact
site of United Airlines Flight 93 near Shanksville, PA, he asks, "Where
is any of the wreckage? Of all the pictures I have seen, there is only
a hole! Where is any piece of a crashed airplane? Why was the area cordoned
off, and no inspection allowed by the normal accident personnel? Where
is any evidence at all?"
Even
I question the 'truth' about 9/11 By Robert Fisk 25 Aug 2007 I
am increasingly troubled at the inconsistencies in the official narrative
of 9/11. It's not just the obvious non sequiturs: where are the aircraft
parts (engines, etc) from the attack on the Pentagon? Why have the officials
involved in the United 93 flight (which crashed in Pennsylvania) been
muzzled? Why did flight 93's debris spread over miles when it was supposed
to have crashed in one piece in a field? ...I am talking about scientific
issues... What about the third tower – the so-called World Trade Centre
Building 7 (or the Salmon Brothers Building) – which collapsed in 6.6
seconds in its own footprint at 5.20pm on 11 September? Why did it so
neatly fall to the ground when no aircraft had hit it? ...Journalistically,
there were many odd things about 9/11.

welcomes new 9/11: Reports lay groundwork for attack, Scholars say
By James Fetzer 16 Jul 2007 A new report summarizes evidence suggesting
that intelligence agencies in collaboration with their media assets are
in the process of preparing the American people for a new 9/11-style attack.
James Fetzer, the founder of Scholars
for 9/11 Truth, has been taken aback. "This summary from MUJCA-NET
forces us to confront the awful prospect that the forces that brought
us a fake attack on 9/11 are about to reprise their performance,"
he stated. "My fear is this will be done on a scale of magnitude
greater, involving 30,000 or even 300,000 deaths."
Rep.
compares Bush to Hitler, 9/11 attacks to Reichstag fire 15 Jul
2007 America's first Muslim congressman has provoked outrage by apparently
comparing President [sic] George W Bush to Adolf Hitler and hinting
that he might have been responsible for the September 11 attacks.
Addressing a gathering of atheists in his home state of Minnesota, Keith
Ellison, a Democrat, compared the 9/11 atrocities to the destruction of
the Reichstag, the German parliament, in 1933. "It's almost like the Reichstag
fire, kind of reminds me of that," Mr Ellison said. "After the Reichstag
was burned, they blamed the Communists for it, and it put the leader [Hitler]
of that country in a position where he could basically have authority
to do whatever he wanted." To applause from his audience of 300 members
of Atheists for Human Rights, Mr Ellison said he would not accuse the
Bush administration of planning 9/11 because "you know, that's how they
put you in the nut-ball box - dismiss you".

exploring 9/11 conspiracy theory for WTC-7: New witness confirms Scholars
previous findings By James Fetzer 02 Jul 2007 The National Institute

of a "conspiracy theory" about the destruction of WTC-7 on 9/11 just as
a new witness has emerged reporting extensive destruction inside the building
many hours before it would be demolished. According to James Fetzer, the

for the conclusion that WTC-7 was brought down by a controlled demolition

9/11 simulation exposed as fraud: Media covers up hoax and conceals crimes
By James Fetzer 27 Jun 2007 A computer animation by engineers and computer
scientists at Purdue University has been exposed as a fraud by a new member
of Scholars for 9/11
Truth. James Fetzer, who founded the society, received a study
from Nick Irving, replying to his invitation to submit an essay on the
Purdue simulation, which can be found [here].
"Nick pointed out that the model was based upon false data about the weakening
point of steel and the temperature of jet fuel based fires. He proved
that fireproofing was irrelevant because the fires never reached the weakening
point of steel. But most importantly of all," Fetzer observed, "he noticed
that the simulation does not even model the 'collapse' and cannot have
shown that these fires caused one."
New
study from Pilots for 9/11 Truth: No Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon
21 Jun 2007 (PRWEB) Pilots
for 9/11 Truth obtained black box data from the government under the
Freedom of Information Act for AA Flight 77, which The 9/11 Report claims
hit the Pentagon. Analysis of the data contradicts the official account
in direction, approach, and altitude. The plane was too high to hit lamp
posts and would have flown over the Pentagon, not impacted with its ground
floor. This result confirms and strengthens the previous findings of Scholars
for 9/11 Truth that no Boeing 757 hit the building.

warned CIA of Al Qaeda hijacking plot before 9/11, report says
16 Apr 2007 A French intelligence service learned as early as January
2001 that Al Qaeda was working on a plot to hijack U.S. airliners, and
it passed the information on to the CIA,
a news report said today. France’s Le Monde newspaper said it had obtained
328 pages of classified documents on Osama bin Laden’s terrorism network
that the French foreign intelligence service, the DGSE, had drawn up between
July 2000 and October 2001.

Did
Sept. 11 mastermind who 'confessed' in Guantanamo kangaroo court die in
2002? A
chilling inheritance of terror By Syed Saleem Shahzad 30 Oct 2002
Ever since the frenzied shootout last month on September 11 in Karachi
there have been doubts over whether Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed
head of al-Qaeda's military committee, died in the police raid on his
apartment... Now it has emerged that Kuwaiti national Khalid Shaikh Mohammed
did indeed perish in the raid, but his wife and child were taken from
the apartment and handed over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),
in whose hands they remain. [See: "I

representation and due process afforded me under the constitution of the
United States of America, hereby confess to the following crimes associated
with 9/11: I confess that I removed military-grade anthrax from the army’s
Ft. Detrick, MD laboratories, and mailed it to liberal democrats in Congress
who were threatening to slow down passage of the Patriot Act. I confess
that I ordered Dick Cheney’s staff to begin taking the anti-anthrax antibiotic
Cipro just days before the first of the anthrax letters were mailed...
I confess that I forced NORAD to provide 3 timelines of events for that
day, all of which have been proven to be inaccurate.

Reports Conclusively Prove Media Prior Knowledge and False-Start Scripting
of Building 7 Controlled Demolition
By Aaron Dykes and Alex Jones 27 Feb 2007 It has now been discovered that
BBC 24 also reported the Building 7 collapse before it fell. Furthermore,
CNN’s Aaron Brown reported that Building 7 "has collapsed or is collapsing"
over an hour before it fell. These clips both reinforce the shocking,
newly discovered BBC coverage wherein Jane Standley reports the collapse
early-- with the building still standing behind her.

World Trade Building 7) had collapsed. This even made the 5pm EST headlines,

EST. [...] The woman reporter is telling the world that the building had
collapsed when you can see it in the background over her left shoulder.'

about three different ground zero rescue workers who all testified that
they were told Building 7 was to be brought down, yet more revealing testimony
has come to light - this time from a former NYPD officer and first responder,
who states that he clearly heard bombs tear down Building 7 as he ran

An
explosion of disbelief - fresh doubts over 9/11 09 Feb 2007 ...[O]n
a fateful September morning in 2001, did America fabricate an outrage
against civilians to fool the world and provide a pretext for war on Al
Qaeda and Iraq? Why were no military aircraft scrambled in time to head
off the attacks? Was the collapse of the Twin Towers caused by a careful
use of explosives? How could a rookie pilot - as one of the terrorists
was - fly a Boeing 757 aircraft so precisely into the Pentagon? And who
made millions of dollars by accurately betting that shares in United and
American Airlines, owners of the four doomed aircraft, were going to fall
on 9/11 as they duly did? An extremely high volume of bets
on the price of shares dropping were placed on these two airline companies,
and only these two. In the three days prior to the catastrophe, trade
in their shares went up 1,200 per cent.

Zero EMT: We Were Told Building 7 Was to Be "Pulled"

EMT has gone public on how emergency workers were told that Building 7
was going to be "pulled," before a 20 second demolition countdown broadcast
over radio preceded its collapse. The ground zero rescue worker also blows
the whistle on how he witnessed multiple underground support columns of
the WTC towers that had been severed before the buildings imploded.

What
do the Statue of Liberty and WTC Towers have in common? By Karl
W. B. Schwarz 29 Dec 2006 In 1989 - there were plans to erect scaffolding
and disassemble the WTC towers and rebuild them. Cost projection was around
$5.6 billion. One of the architects shows up to work one day and the MIB's
were there - had confiscated all of the plans, specs, details, etc for
WTC. They even confiscated their office cubicles and had tape on the floor
outlining where they went. Reason - the exterior cast aluminum WTC panels
had been directly connected to the steel superstructure of the building,
thus causing galvanic corrosion. In short, the "life cycle" of the WTC
was not 200 - 300 years, more like 30 years or so... There was a 1989
meeting and the folks at the architectural firm Emory Roth, the project
architect that took over after the design architects completed the conceptual
drawings that had their office, records, plans and specs seized - were
told that the $5.6 billion "take it down, rebuild it" project was cancelled
and in about "10-12 years" they would "blow it up and start over".

With FBI Investigation By Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones 14 Oct 2006
During Professor Jim Fetzer's appearance on The O'Reilly Factor Thursday

Scholars with terrorists and threw his weight behind a move to have
them being investigated by the FBI, in a similar vein to a previous case
in which his false charges led to the arrest of another professor and
charges of supporting terrorism which were later dismissed. "I'd put
the FBI on you and that nutty Barrett and find out what the hell you guys
are up to," salivates O'Reilly, making reference to Sammy Al-Arian,
a former professor at USF who was charged and later acquitted...

arrested—or, more accurately under the so-called detainee bill, disappeared
into Gestapo torture dungeons—and presumably brought up on treason charges,
marched before a secret military tribunal, and sent to the gallows...
Not only did the reprehensible O’Reilly, who had the academic Dr. Sami
al-Arian arrested and charged as a terrorist, slander
[Jim] Fetzer and by extension anybody else who questions the government,
he also demanded Fetzer be tailed by the FBI. "I'd put the FBI

and the call secured his release. We’ve since been told that it was Mohamed’s

9/11:
The Massive Ignorance of Matt Taibbi
By James H. Fetzer, Ph.D. 30 Sep 2006 A lot of intellectual rubbish has
been published about the 9/11 Truth movement, but none quite as reprehensible
as Matt Taibbi, "The
Low Post: I, Left Gatekeeper", ROLLING STONE (26 September 2006).
He begins with a blunder and ends with a travesty. He asserts that "9/11
Truth is the lowest form of conspiracy theory, because it doesn't offer
an affirmative theory of the crime." But 9/11 Truth is dedicated
to exposing falsehoods as well as revealing truths. If the government's
account of 9/11 were true, there would be no need for an "alternative
theory". We are critics of the official theory, which, in case Taibbi
hasn't noticed, is itself a conspiracy theory!

stood to gain billions of dollars, in the following years... Remember
those Put Options? "The identity of this person who had foreknowledge
of the attack is known and this person's identity is being protected by
our government and this is a fact! Period, end of story," reported Jesse
Richard, editor of TVNewsLies.com.

Bin
Laden's superspy worked for the FBI, CIA and US Army 15 Sep 2006
Bin Laden’s spy in America, Ali Mohamed, manipulated American Intelligence
from within the US, leading up to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. This according
to a National Geographic two-hour documentary [28 August] called "Triple
Cross: Bin Laden’s Spy in America," The documentary is said to reveal
the extraordinary tale of Osama bin Laden’s brilliant intelligence agent
who played a key role in al-Qaeda terror plots while "triple crossing"
US officials before 9/11. Ali Mohamed, a radical ex-Egyptian Army officer
worked for the CIA, FBI and US Army, and answered to Osama bin Laden.
The burning question is: how did Mohamed survive inside the United
States for more than 14 years as a spy for Egyptian Islamic Jihad and
al-Qaeda?

church publisher buys 9-11 Bush plot 09
Aug 2006 It wasn't Osama bin Laden who orchestrated
the 9-11 attacks, it was George W. Bush, according to a book
to be published this month by the Presbyterian Church USA. Called "Christian
Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11: A Call to Reflection and Action," it
is the third book on the conspiracy theory authored by David Ray Griffin,
a professor emeritus of theology at Claremont School of Theology. According
to Christianity Today, Griffin argues in his new book that the Bush administration
planned the events of Sept. 11, 2001, so they could provide justification
for going to war with Afghanistan and Iraq.

Sept. 11 Panel Doubted Officials 04 Aug 2006 The Sept. 11 commission

investigation into possible deception, the panel's chairmen say in a new
book. Republican Thomas Kean and Democrat Lee Hamilton also say in "Without
Precedent" that their panel was too soft in questioning former New York
Mayor Rudolph Giuliani — and that the 20-month investigation may have
suffered for it.

control room of NORAD's Northeast headquarters, the author reconstructs
the chaotic military history of that day—and the Pentagon's apparent attempt
to cover it up. By Michael Bronner "'When they told me there was a hijack,
my first reaction was 'Somebody started the exercise early,' [Major Kevin
Nasypany, the facility's mission-crew commander] later told me. The day's
exercise was designed to run a range of scenarios, including a 'traditional'
simulated hijack in which politically motivated perpetrators commandeer
an aircraft, land on a Cuba-like island, and seek asylum. 'I actually
said out loud, 'The hijack's not supposed to be for another hour,' Nasypany
recalled."

Panel Suspected Deception by Pentagon --Allegations Brought to
Inspectors General 02 Aug 2006 Some staff members and commissioners of
the Sept. 11 panel concluded that the Pentagon's initial story of how
it reacted to the 2001 terrorist attacks may have been part of a deliberate
effort to mislead the commission and the public rather than a reflection
of the fog of events on that day [Nah, 'ya think?],
according to sources involved in the debate. Suspicion of wrongdoing ran
so deep that the 10-member commission, in a secret meeting at the end
of its tenure in summer 2004, debated referring the matter to the Justice
Department for criminal investigation, according to several commission
sources. Staff members and some commissioners thought that e-mails and
other evidence provided enough probable cause
to believe that military and aviation officials violated the law by making
false statements to Congress and to the commission, hoping to hide the
bungled response to the hijackings, these sources said.

asked why there is no mention of 9/11 on Bin Laden's Most Wanted web page,

Agent Testifies Superiors Didn't Pursue Moussaoui Case 21 Mar
2006 The F.B.I. agent who arrested and interrogated Zacarias Moussaoui
just weeks before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks told a jury on Monday how
he had tried repeatedly to get his superiors in Washington to help confirm
his certainty that Mr. Moussaoui was involved in an imminent terrorist

Charlie Sheen Questions Official 9/11 Story
--Calls for truly independent investigation, joins growing ranks of prominent
credible whistleblowers By Alex Jones & Paul Joseph Watson 20 Mar 2006
"Actor Charlie Sheen has joined a growing army of other highly credible
public figures in questioning the official story of 9/11 and calling for
a new independent investigation of the attack and the circumstances surrounding
it."
U.S.
Rep.: 9/11 Leader ID'd Repeatedly Before Attack
15 Feb 2006 The vice chairman of the House Intelligence Committee said
a secret U.S. security unit identified terrorist Mohamed Atta more than
a dozen times before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. U.S. Rep.
Curt Weldon also said the secret military team -- code-named "Able Danger"
-- found "a problem" in Yemen two weeks before the deadly al-Qaida attack
on the USS Cole in 2000. But Weldon said the ship commander was not told.
Weldon:
'Able Danger' identified Atta 13 times
--Congressman says secret military unit knew
of 9/11 hijacker before attacks 15 Feb 2006 Pre-Sept. 11 intelligence
conducted by a secret military unit identified terrorist ringleader Mohamed
Atta 13 different times, a congressman said Tuesday. During a Capitol
Hill news conference, Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., said the unit — code-named
"Able Danger" — also identified "a problem" in Yemen
two weeks before the attack on the USS Cole.

Attacks - Avoiding the hard questions by Robert Steinback 01 Feb
2006 "How did a fire fed by jet fuel, which at most burns at 1,700
degrees Fahrenheit, cause the collapse of the Twin Towers, built of steel
that melts at 2,800 degrees? (Most experts agree that the impact of airliners,
made mostly of lightweight aluminum, should not have been enough alone
to cause structural failure.) ...Why did building WTC-7 fall, though no
aircraft struck it? Fire alone had never before caused a steel skyscraper
to collapse. Why did all three buildings collapse largely into their own
footprints -- in the style of a controlled demolition? Why did no U.S.
military jet intercept the wayward aircraft? Why has there been no investigation
of BBC reports that five of the alleged 9/11 hijackers were alive and
accounted for after the event?"

What
did U.S. military know before 9/11? --Congress
wants to hear more about allegations that four hijackers were identified
before they acted. 26
Nov 2005 A top-secret military program set up six years ago to probe the
Al-Qaida terrorist network is provoking fierce new debate about the Sept.
11, 2001, attacks. Military intelligence officers and contractors who
ran the clandestine mission, named Able Danger, say that more than a year
before the attacks, the operation identified four of the plot's 19 hijackers
and produced a chart that fingered ringleader Mohamed Atta. Those claims
contradict findings of the 9/11 commission set up by Congress.
Weldon
seeks Defense testimony on al-Qaida 17 Nov 2005 U.S. Rep. Curt
Weldon, R-Pa., said he plans to ask the Pentagon to allow certain intelligence
officers to testify about pre-Sept. 11 investigations. Weldon has been
working to uncover what information a Department of Defense intelligence

Bush has created in Iraq takes a back seat to one overwhelming fact: By
the time night falls on September 11, Osama bin Laden will have been at
large for 1,461 days. America vanquished world fascism in less time: We
obtained Germany’s surrender in 1,243 days, Japan’s in 1,365. Even the
third Punic War, in which Carthage was burned to the ground and emptied
of citizens who were taken en masse into Roman slavery, lasted around
1,100 days (and troops needed a little longer to get into position back
in 149 B.C.)."

a year before the 2001 attacks, the Pentagon said on Thursday.

Agnostic About 9/11 --A society of nonbelievers questions the
official version By Mark Ehrman "Anyone who types the words '9/11'

the accepted story that 19 hijackers sent by Osama bin Laden took the
aviation system and the U.S. military by surprise that awful day in his

'Able
Danger' Shut Down In February 2001 (Can't blame Bill Clinton, folks!)
13 Aug 2005 Ten days before publication of the 9/11 Commission report,
commission staff discounted information from a military officer linking
Sept. 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta to a terror cell believed to be operating
in New York City more than a year before the terrorist attacks. According
to a statement released Friday by The 9/11 Public Discourse Project, the
two commission staff members who interviewed the officer in July 2004
concluded his story about a Defense Department intelligence counterterrorism
program, called Able Danger, that worked to identify and target al-Qaida
and other terrorists, was not credible. As a result, the information was
not included in the commission's final report published July 22, 2004...
A small group of Defense Intelligence Agency employees ran the Able
Danger operation from fall 1999 to February 2001
- just seven months before the terrorist attacks - when the operation
was unceremoniously axed, according to a former defense intelligence
official familiar with the program. The former official asked not to be
identified.
Second
Officer Says 9/11 Leader Was Named Before Attacks 23 Aug 2005
An active-duty Navy captain has become the second military officer to
come forward publicly to say that a secret intelligence program tagged
the ringleader of the Sept. 11 attacks as a possible terrorist more than
a year before the attacks. The officer, Scott J. Phillpott, said in a
statement on Monday that he could not discuss details of the military
program, which was called Able Danger, but confirmed that its analysts
had identified the Sept. 11 ringleader, Mohamed Atta, by name by early
2000.
4
hijackers ID'd as al-Qaeda before 9/11, officer says
18 Aug 2005 A military intelligence team investigating al-Qaeda identified
four members of the terrorist organization a year before they became 9/11
hijackers, according to an officer on the intelligence team. But he says
that the FBI did not get the information and that the 9/11 Commission
failed to expose the lapse.
'Able
Danger' Stopped From Informing FBI
17 Aug 2005 An Army intelligence officer said Wednesday he does not believe
the 9/11 commission pressed hard enough for documentation of claims that
military intelligence found a U.S.-based terrorist cell that included
Mohamed Atta, who turned out to be the leader of the Sept. 11 attacks,
prior to the terrorist strikes.
'Able
Danger' Intel Exposed 'Protected' Heroin Trafficking By Daniel
Hopsicker 17 Aug 2005 "Mohamed Atta was protected from official scrutiny
as part of an officially-protected cocaine and
heroin trafficking network with ties to top political figures,
including Republican officials Jeb Bush and Katherine Harris, and it was
this fact—and not the 'terrible lapses' of 'weak on terror' Clinton Administration
officials cited by Republican Congressman Curt Weldon—which shielded him
from being apprehended before the 9.11 attack."
Officer:
Unit Stopped From Giving FBI Info
16 Aug 2005 An Army intelligence officer says his unit was blocked in
2000 and 2001 from giving the FBI information about a U.S.-based terrorist
cell that included Mohamed Atta, the future 'leader' of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer said the small intelligence unit, called "Able
Danger," had identified Atta and three of the other future Sept. 11 hijackers
as al-Qaida members by mid-2000. He said military lawyers stopped the
unit from sharing the information with the FBI.

operation that by the summer of 2000 had identified as a potential threat
the member of Al Qaeda who would lead the attacks more than a year later,

three other 'hijackers' as potential threats more than a year before the
attacks.
CIA
Commander: U.S. Let bin Laden Slip Away
15 Aug 2005 In a forthcoming book, the CIA field commander for the agency's
Jawbreaker team at Tora Bora, Gary Berntsen, says he and other U.S. commanders
did know that bin Laden was among the hundreds of fleeing Qaeda
and Taliban members. Berntsen says he had definitive intelligence that
bin Laden was holed up at Tora Bora—intelligence operatives had tracked
him—and could have been caught. [Yes, but capturing bin Laden would
have abrogated the contract he has with the Bush regime.]

WTC Collapse
Due to Controlled Demolition, "Inside Job" - Former Bush Advisor
-by John Daly, UPI "A former Bush team member during his first administration
is now voicing serious doubts about the collapse of the World Trade Center
on 9-11. Former chief economist for the Department of Labor during President
[sic] George W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds comments that the official
story about the collapse of the WTC is 'bogus' and that it is more likely
that a controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent Building
No. 7. Reynolds, who also served as director of the Criminal Justice Center
at the National Center for Policy Analysis in Dallas and is now professor
emeritus at Texas A&M University said, 'If demolition destroyed three
steel skyscrapers at the World Trade Center on 9/11, then the case for

Pre-9/11 Missteps By FBI Detailed
--Report Tells of Missed Chances to Find 'Hijackers'
--The inability to detect the Sept. 11, 2001, 'hijacking' plot amounts
to a "significant failure" by the FBI and was caused in large part by
"widespread and longstanding deficiencies" in the way the agency handled
terrorism and intelligence cases, according to a report released yesterday.
TV show depicts 9/11 as Bush plot --Sunday night's
episode of "Tatort," a popular murder mystery, revolved around a German
woman and a man who was killed in her apartment. According to the plot,
which was seen by approximately 7 million Germans, the dead man had been
trained to be one of the September 11 pilots but was left behind, only
to be tracked down and killed by CIA or FBI assassins. The woman, who
says in the program that the September 11 attacks were instigated by the
Bush family for oil and power, then is targeted, presumably to silence
her. The drama concludes with the German detectives accepting the truth
of her story as she eludes the U.S. government hit men and escapes to
safety in an unnamed Arab country.

Another
Lost Opportunity
--An informant was providing U.S. officials with
very specific information about a terrorist attack three months before
9/11. In the spring of 2001, one of the U.S. government’s most
valuable terror informants gave the FBI a far more alarming account of
Al Qaeda plans to attack inside the United States than has ever been publicly
disclosed, according to newly available court documents. ...Fresh documents,
released in federal court in Seattle in recent days, shed new light on
an issue that dominated last year’s hearings by the September 11 commission:
precisely how much did the U.S. government know about Al Qaeda plans
to strike inside the country in the summer of 2001 when the attacks on
the World Trade Towers and Pentagon were in their final stages?

('FBI') has invoked privacy right protections on behalf of al Qaeda terror
leader Osama bin Laden. In a September 24, 2003 declassified 'Secret'
FBI report obtained by Judicial Watch, the FBI invoked Exemption 6 under
FOIA law on behalf of bin Laden, which permits the government to withhold
all information about U.S. persons in 'personnel and medical files and
similar files' when the disclosure of such information 'would constitute
a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.' (5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6)

From my close-up inspection, there's no evidence
of a plane having crashed anywhere near the Pentagon. The only
site, is the actual side of the building that's crashed in. And as I said,
the only pieces left that you can see are small enough that you pick up
in your hand. There are no large tail sections, wing sections, fuselage,
nothing like that anywhere around which would indicate that the entire
plane crashed into the side of the Pentagon and then caused the side to
collapse. Even though if you look at the pictures of the Pentagon you
see that the floors have all collapsed, that didn't happen immediately.
It wasn't until almost about 45 minutes later that the structure was weakened
enough that all of the floors collapsed."

inspired hysteria is heretical, especially in the context of the U.S.
media's supine acceptance of administration claims relating to national
security. Yet a brilliant new BBC film produced by one of Britain's
leading documentary filmmakers systematically challenges this and many
other accepted articles of faith in the so-called war on terror."

than Sept 12."

might have known of the Bush regime's [terrorists'] plans and profited
by selling vulnerable stocks just before the attacks, Jeffrey Royer

Revealing
9-11 Stock Trades Could Expose The Terrorist Masterminds
--by Christopher Bollyn "Among the most conspicuous spikes in trading
activity were the huge increases in 'put options' placed on the two airlines
involved in the hijackings of Sept. 11, United Airlines (UAL) and American
Airlines. There was a 9,000 percent jump
in United Air Lines (UAL) put options between Sept. 6 and Sept. 10,
with a huge spike 285 times higher than average on the Thursday before
the attack. American Airlines saw a 6,000 percent jump in put options
above normal the day before the attacks. However, there was no similar
trading activity on any other airlines, according to market reports. The
brokerage houses that had offices in the WTC, Morgan Stanley and Merrill-Lynch,
saw 27-fold and 12-fold increases in the purchases of put options
on their respective shares between Sept. 7 and Sept. 10. 'The afternoon
before the attack, alarm bells were sounding over unusual trading in
the U.S. stock options market,' the CBS program 60 Minutes reported

Said Black Boxes Were Found at Ground Zero
By Bryan Sacks and Nicholas Levis Oct. 27, 2004 "Amid the enormous

four black boxes from Flights 11 and 175 were found by 'Federal Agents'
at the former World Trade Center site, during the clean-up efforts from
September 2001 to March 2002. At the time of the disaster, Nicholas DeMasi
was a firefighter at Engine Company 261 in Queens... The only statement
on the status of the Ground Zero black boxes in the 9/11 Commission Report
is buried in footnote 76 to Chapter 1, but it is definitive: 'The CVRs
and FDRs from American 11 and United 175 were not found...'"
New
Seismic Data Refutes Official Explanation --Two unexplained
"spikes" in the seismic record from Sept. 11 indicate huge bursts
of energy shook the ground beneath the World Trade Center’s twin towers
immediately prior to the collapse. By Christopher Bollyn "American
Free Press has learned of pools of 'molten steel' found at the base of
the collapsed twin towers weeks after the collapse. Although the energy
source for these incredibly hot areas has yet to be explained, New York
seismometers recorded huge bursts of energy, which caused unexplained
seismic 'spikes' at the beginning of each collapse. These spikes suggest
that massive underground explosions may have literally knocked the towers
off their foundations, causing them to collapse."

in the Cover-Up of 9/11: The Case of American and United Airlines
--by Elias Davidsson "The first AA aircraft (flight AA11, tail no.
N334AA) is said to have left Logan airport in Boston at 7:59 with 92 people
on board (crew, passengers and hijackers) and crashed at 8:46 on the North
Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City... As of November 13,
2003, the statistical database of the Department of Transportation (BTS)
did not even mention AA11 as a flight scheduled for September 11, 2001
(6). At a later date the Department added a record for this flight with
the departure time set as zero. Checking again the BTS database for this
article on November 18, 2004, I discovered that the DoT again amended
its database by setting the scheduled departure of AA11 to the 'official
time' of 7:45 (6). It appears that the DoT had received orders to align
its database with the 'official account' on the crime of 9/11."

on Wednesday from a closed-door intelligence briefing in 2002. On the
three occasions when they thought they knew bin Laden's location, the
CIA opposed taking military action, saying
its sources were not good enough, Richard Clarke, a former White House
counterterrorism official, told lawmakers.

the committee was comprised of political extremists who couldn't reach

United States that included agents of the Saudi government, and the
Bush dictatorship and FBI blocked a congressional
investigation into that relationship, Sen. Bob Graham wrote

secret? And of course it would be interesting to find out the airport
where Flight X started."

"In midst the chaos breaking out in the hours after the WTC and Pentagon
attacks, between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m an airplane made an emergency landing
at Cleveland Hopkins Airport. Rumours were going around that it was hijacked
or had a bomb on board... The plane - Delta flight 1989 - was not hijacked,
and there was no bomb. However, a closer examination reveals a bunch of
conflicting statements concerning Delta 1989... For every aspect of the
incident there are two different versions. Not one or three or four versions,
but two. This article will prove that not one, but two planes made an
emergency landing in Cleveland - in close succession."

The
obscure goat story of 9-11
(lawgiver.org) "It is very important to examine the first reactions
President [sic] Bush had concerning the events of September 11. You can
tell much about the truth by observing the reactions of men... 'In Sarasota,
Florida, Bush was reading to children in a classroom at 9:05 a.m. when
his chief of staff, Andrew Card, whispered into his ear. The president
[sic] briefly turned somber before he resumed reading. He
addressed the tragedy about a half-hour later.' - Associated
Press, September 12, 2001 [bold emphasis added]."

some of the most heavily militarized parts of the country, yet nothing

They
funded al-Qaeda, and now they blame the Muslim religion
Even though bin Laden was a CIA tactician
They gave him billions of dollars, and they funded his purpose
'Fahrenheit 9/11,' that's just scratchin' the surface...
And
of course Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons
We sold him that shit, after Ronald Reagan's election
Mercenary contractors fight in a new era
Corporate military bankin' off the war on terror
