... each gallon of fuel [aboard the plane when
it hit], even applied with intelligent efficiency, would have to melt about
18.5 lbs of aluminium [in the plane clearly impossible].
I can see only one reason to cling
to the belief that AA 77 hit the Pentagon. The unshakable faith that
the government would not could not lie to us. A faith so strong that
the laws of physics and motion suspend themselves in order to maintain it.
Another intelligent examination of the question of whether a
Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon is available at Martin Doutrι's Pentagon 9/11.
This site has some excellent photos of the crash site (some are available on
this site here).
The author points out (among other anomalies) that:
- The damage to the Pentagon is not severe
enough to have been caused by the impact of a 100-ton aircraft with a
wingspan of 38 meters travelling at a speed of at least 250 mph.
- Not only is there no debris on the lawn
in front of the wall but the grass shows no sign of having been burnt from
the incineration of massive quantities of fuel from the (alleged) plane's
ruptured tanks.
- In any aircraft crash, no matter how
horrific, there are always recognizable sections of the fuselage
remaining.
- Photos of the crash site reveal
windows just above the entrance hole in which the glass is unbroken.
In October 2003 yet another website appeared with an analysis
of the Pentagon crash, this one by Jim Hoffman, whose conclusion is: Whatever
Struck the Pentagon Was Not a 757.
The
Pentagon Attack Frame-Up & Cover-Up
The evidence is overwhelming that the
"missile" (Rumsfeld's description) which hit the Pentagon, whatever
it was, was not a Boeing 757. The official story is a lie.
As for the tale which appeared in Newsweek,
etc., about plucky passengers on UA Flight 93 jumping the hijackers
("OK, let's roll!") this was entirely fictitious,
fabricated by some psy-war operative with training as a two-bit Hollywood
scriptwriter and disseminated with the help of some willing media whore.
The story even has the ultimate terror of
imminent death in the 'reported' (but unheard by you or I) last words
of an airline stewardess. "My God, my God, I see
buildings....water!"
Down at the bottom of the Bargain Bin, in
the pulp fiction section of the local charity shop, I can find dime-a-dozen
trashy novels with plenty of "My God, My God..." dialogue.
But the REAL world of actual airline
stewardess has people, not cartoon dumb blondes. They KNOW what New
York looks like from the air ...
She might have said something credible
like: "Jesus Christ! We're gonna hit Manhattan."
But no. "I see
buildings...." (...and, wait for it...) ..pause.. "...water."
Check out that pregnant pause in every publication of the quote. Does
that pause feel right to you? Not to me. The whole thing feels
like a ham-fisted effort designed to make us believe certain things.
Tall Tales
of the Wag Movie
If cell phones work from a plane flying at
30,000 feet and at a speed of hundreds of miles an hour then the Newsweek
story about the passengers making calls might contain some truth (they were
told to call so as to provide support for the soon-to-be-released official
story) but not that part of the story which has one of the
passengers, Mark Bingham, calling his mother, saying "Hi Mom, this is
Mark Bingham."
In fact there is no evidence, except
anecdotal, that any of the doomed passengers made any cellphone call. For the
view that the alleged call by Barbara Olson (who was on Flight AA 77)
to her husband (Ted Olson, the US Solicitor General) was a fabrication,
as were the other stories, see Joe Vialls's Mother
of All Lies About 9/11.
And in fact research by Prof. A. K. Dewdney and others (try
this yourself) has shown that it is practically impossible that multiple calls
from a plane flying at the normal cruising height and speed of a commercial
airliner could be made.
As was shown above, the chance of a
typical cellphone call from cruising altitude making it to ground and
engaging a cellsite there is less than one in a hundred. To calculate the
probability that two such calls will succeed involves elementary probability
theory. The resultant probability is the product of the two probabilities,
taken separately. In other words, the probability that two callers will
succeed is less than one in ten thousand. In the case of a hundred such
calls, even if a large majority fail, the chance of, say 13 calls getting
through can only be described as infinitesimal. In operational terms, this
means "impossible." 'Project
Achilles' Final Report and Summary of Findings
So there were no cellphone calls from UA
Flight 93. The whole story was a lie.
4. What Actually Happened
In October 2001 two articles appeared on
the web which provided the first clues to what really happened. One was Carol
Valentine's "Operation 911: NO SUICIDE PILOTS". This
article drew attention to the possibility of remote control of a large jet
aircraft. That this technology exists is public knowledge. It was
developed by Northrop Grumman for use in Global Hawk, an automated
American military jet with the wingspan of a Boeing 737. (For further
details about Global Hawk see Operation 911:
NO SUICIDE PILOTS.) Since it is possible
to control a Boeing 757 or 767 by means of remote control, might not the jets
which hit the Twin Towers and the Pentagon (assuming that more than one did)
have been remotely controlled? In which case there would be no need to
maintain the improbable hypothesis that the four jets were simultaneously
hijacked by nineteen on-board Arab terrorists.
The other article discussing the possibility
of remote control of Boeing aircraft was Joe Vialls's "Home Run:
Electronically Hijacking the World Trade Center Attack Aircraft".
In the mid-seventies ... two American
multinationals collaborated with the Defense Advanced [Research] Projects
Agency (DARPA) on a project designed to facilitate the remote recovery of
hijacked American aircraft. [This technology] ... allowed specialist
ground controllers to ... take absolute control of [a hijacked plane's]
computerized flight control system by remote means. From that point
onwards, regardless of the wishes of the hijackers or flight deck crew,
the hijacked aircraft could be recovered and landed automatically at an
airport of choice, with no more difficulty than flying a radio-controlled
model plane. ... [This was] the system used to facilitate direct
ground control of the four aircraft used in the high-profile attacks on New
York and Washington on 11th September 2001. Joe Vialls:
Home Run:
Electronically Hijacking the World Trade Center Attack Aircraft
But there's a problem with this theory:
Although the technology for the remote control of a Boeing jetliner certainly
exists, and could be installed (if it is not already standard) on four
Boeings, getting all four remotely controllable planes to take off within an
hour of each other would not be easy, and would require more people with
insider knowledge than is advisable (the more people involved the more chance
there is of a mistake, or of information being leaked). Not only would United
Airlines and American Airlines personnel be needed to coordinate the plane
assignments but also four different teams of remote controllers would be
necessary, one for each remotely hijacked plane.
Considering the stakes involved in an
operation which was intended to kill thousands of U.S. citizens, there could
be no room for error. What was needed was a fool-proof plan, and the remote
hijacking of four planes is a scenario with too many possibilities for
something to go wrong.
The actual plan which was implemented
is amazingly simple when it is finally understood, and it was carried out
almost (but not completely) without a hitch. It was revealed to Carol
Valentine by an informant (as recounted in 9-11:
The Flight of the Bumble Planes).
To put it briefly, a plot was hatched, not
by Arabs, but by so-called Americans (agents of the civilian "state
security and intelligence" agencies and bureaus such as the CIA,
top-ranking officers within the U.S. Air Force and high-level officials within
the U.S. Administration), perhaps with Israeli involvement:
- to take control of four civilian
airliners
- to carry out attacks on the Twin Towers
and the Pentagon causing huge loss of life
- to make it appear that these airliners
were used to carry out the attacks
- to eliminate the passengers on the
airliners who would not be involved in the operation except as reluctant
witnesses
- to blame these attacks on "Arab terrorists"
and to use this as a pretext to launch military campaigns against
"enemies of America" in the Middle East and in Asia, the real
aim being to get control of their oil and mineral resources.
This plot, of course, was not hatched in a
day. In September 2002 a congressional report
cited no less than 12 examples of
intelligence information on the possible use of airliners as weapons. They
stretch from 1994 to August 2001, when word came of a plot by Osama bin
Laden to fly a plane into the US embassy in Nairobi, Kenya. America
had 12 warnings of aircraft attack
Sometime during the late 90s the U.S.
state security agencies realized that certain foreign terrorists were thinking
of hijacking planes and crashing them into significant buildings (naturally
the Twin Towers would come first to mind). They might even have recruited
these would-be terrorists. In any case, they helped them along (covertly, of
course), providing money (transmitted via Pakistani ISI operatives), U.S. visas,
introductions to U.S. flying schools and useful tips. The plan was not
for these would-be terrorists to do the job (since their predecessors had
demonstrated their limitations by botching the 1993 attack on the WTC) but
rather to be "useful idiots" who could plausibly be blamed (just as
Timothy McVeigh was the "useful idiot" blamed for the
Oklahoma City bombing). The actual operation was far
more elaborate than the would-be hijackers were capable of carrying out, and
required equipment which they did not have and prior access to the Twin Towers
which was not possible for them.
What happened on September 11th was very
likely something close to this (there are variations, as noted below):
- Three planes had been made ready by U.S.
military personnel (possibly from NORAD), capable of being controlled
remotely, with no-one on board:
- A military jet either loaded with
high explosives or carrying missiles or both.
- An F-16 jet fighter armed with a
missile.
- A Boeing 767, painted up to look like
a United Airlines jet (call this "Pseudo Flight 175").
In the alternative theory the F-16
is replaced by an AGM-86C
cruise missile capable of being fired from a B-52 and of flying
to its target under GPS-guidance, and able upon impact to generate
heat of over 2,000°C.
- Early on the morning of September 11th
Mohammad Atta and some other Arabs board American Airlines and
United Airlines planes under instructions from their CIA or FBI
handlers. Atta and others, some recorded by airport security
cameras, will later be declared to be "the hijackers".
- The four civilian jet airliners
take off:
- AA Flight 11, a
Boeing 767, leaves Logan Airport, Boston, at 7:59 a.m.
headed for Los Angeles, with between 76 and 81 passengers
(about 39% of capacity) and 11 crew members aboard.
(This is the jet which, according to the official story, hit
the North Tower.)
- AA Flight 77, a
Boeing 757, takes off from Dulles Airport in northern Virginia
at 8:10 a.m bound for Los Angeles, with between 50
and 58 passengers (about 27% of capacity) and six crew members
aboard. (This is the jet which allegedly hit the
Pentagon.)
- UA Flight 175, a
Boeing 767, departs from Logan Airport, Boston, at 8:13 a.m.
for Los Angeles with between 47 and 56 passengers (about
26% of capacity) and nine crew members aboard. (This is
the jet which allegedly hit the South Tower.)
- UA Flight 93, a
Boeing 757, scheduled to leave Newark Airport at 8:01 a.m. for
San Francisco, is late and does not depart until 8:41 a.m.,
taking off with between 26 and 38 passengers (about 16% of
capacity) and seven crew members on board. (This is the
jet which crashed in Pennsylvania.)
- Pseudo Flight 175 takes off from
its military base, flying under remote
control (there is no-one onboard at the controls), and flies
so as to intercept the flight path of UA Flight 175.
Radar operators tracking UA Flight 175 see the two blips
merge.
- A half-hour or so after taking
off the pilots of the four civilian airliners are informed by some
means of a real or potential terrorist attack and that they are to
shut down their transponders and land their planes at one
military base or another
in some north-eastern U.S. state (directions to the base are
given). The pilots obey this order and change course accordingly.
- Pseudo Flight 175 begins to
transmit a transponder signal mimicking that used by UA Flight
175. It changes course toward New York and to radar operators it
appears as if UA 175 is now flying toward Manhattan.
- The military jet takes off under
remote control and (after intercepting the flight path of AA Flight 11
to deceive the radar operators) approaches the North Tower at 8:45 a.m.,
fires missiles into it then crashes
into it, detonating explosives already planted in the
building. (George
W. Bush watches the impact on a private transmission to
the TV in his limousine while travelling to a school in Florida.)
- Pseudo Flight 175 approaches
Manhattan under remote control and crashes into the South Tower at
9:03 a.m. Its controllers, not used to remotely
controlling the 100 tons of a Boeing 767, almost miss the tower,
but manage to hit it toward one corner. Just before the plane
hits the building an incendiary
missile is fired to create a temperature within the building
high enough to ensure ignition of the jet fuel which is about to
be released by the impact. Most of the jet fuel passes through the
corner of the tower and explodes in a huge fireball outside the
building. (The approach of the Boeing 767 and the impact and
the awesome
fireball are recorded by many cameras.)
- George W. Bush announces to the
nation that he has made some phone calls but fails
to order defensive action by ordering U.S. Air Force jets from
bases near Washington to scramble to intercept the other two
(allegedly hijacked) planes still in the air. No other Air Force
officer orders jets to intercept the planes. Interceptors are
finally scrambled an hour after the first of the commercial jets
has gone off course and 45 minutes after the impact at the North
Tower.
- The F-16 jet fighter (see 1. above),
under remote control, flies at high speed toward Washington D.C.
(perhaps after crossing the flight path of AA Flight 77),
descends to near ground level, makes a horizontal approach to the
Pentagon, fires a missile which produces a huge explosion at the
outer wall of the Pentagon, then itself crashes into the building
(at 9:38 a.m.), its engine penetrating several rings of
the Pentagon.
In the alternative theory it is
an AGM-86C cruise missile which strikes the Pentagon.
It crossed several of the
building rings of the Pentagon, creating in each wall it
pierced a progressively bigger hole. ... When traversing
the first ring of the Pentagon, the object set off a fire, as
gigantic as it was sudden. Who
was Behind the September 11th Attacks?
- Meanwhile (by sometime between
9:15 a.m. and 9:45 a.m.) all four AA and UA jets have
landed at the military base to which they were directed. The 199
(later listed) passengers and crew from AA Flight 77, AA Flight 11
and UA Flight 175 are herded onto UA Flight 93,
where they join the 33 (later listed) passengers and crew, for a
total of 232 people. Explosives are loaded on board.
- The South Tower collapses (at
9:59 a.m.) in a controlled demolition, 56 minutes after
impact.
- Sometime around 10:00 or 10:15 a.m.
UA Flight 93 takes off from the military base (either
under remote control or under the control of a military pilot
unaware of his fate) and flies toward Washington in a fake
"terrorist attack".
- The North Tower collapses (at
10:29 a.m.) also in a controlled demolition, 1 hour and
44 minutes after impact.
- Either explosives on board UA Flight 93
are detonated, or the jet is blown apart by a missile fired
by a U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter jet, over Pennsylvania (at
10:37 a.m., almost two hours after it took off from Newark
Airport).
Pennsylvania
state police officials said on Thursday debris from the plane
had been found up to 8 miles away (from the crash site) in a
residential community [Indian Lake] where local media have
quoted residents as speaking of a second plane in the area [this
was the F-16] and burning debris falling from the sky.
Reuters, Sept. 13, as quoted in Troubling
Questions in Troubling Times
All passengers and crew from all
four "hijacked" planes, perhaps or perhaps not including
those 34 (later unlisted) passengers (including Mohammad Atta) who
are part of the operation, are in this way eliminated.
- The outer wall of the impact site
at the Pentagon is caused to collapse (so that the
small size of the hole in the wall caused by the impacting
object would no longer be visible).
- Around midday the media whores
begin to disseminate the story that this "terrorist
attack" was masterminded by Usama bin Laden.
- Around 5 p.m.the building
known as WTC 7
collapses in a controlled demolition.
- Misled by the White House and the
mainstream media a shocked and outraged American public demands
revenge against the perpetrators, whom they assume to be Arab
Muslim fundamentalists.
- George W. Bush announces his
"War on Terrorism" and the Pentagon swings into action
to implement its previously-prepared plans to bomb Afghanistan
(into submission to U.S. oil interests).
Of course, some of the details of
this account may turn out to be wrong, but overall it appears to be
the most likely explanation of the events of September 11th and
(in contrast to the official story) is consistent with all the
evidence and is contradicted by none. Only a full and impartial
investigation of what happened on September 11th will reveal the
truth, but the Bush administration (fearing the consequences when the
American people find out what actually happened and who was behind it)
has done everything it can to prevent such an inquiry from taking
place.
In March 2003 Leonard Spencer
examined the Valentine-Plissken hypothesis, basically confirming it,
but suggesting a significant modification with respect to Flight 93,
and tentatively identifying the airport at which the airliners were
instructed to land as Yeager Airport near Charleston, W. Virginia.:
What
Really Happened? A Critical Analysis of Carol Valentine's "Flight
of The Bumble Planes" Hypothesis
In August 2003 the Valentine-Plissken
hypothesis was refined further by Prof. A. K. Dewdney in his Operation
Pearl, where he provides a more detailed theory as to what
happened on September 11th and a timeline of events consistent with
the evidence ("X" in flight numbers refers to planes

As
in the Valentine-Plissken hypothesis, all innocent passengers on board
flights UA 175, AA 11 and AA 77 were placed on board
Flight UA 93, which was then shot down by a U.S. Air Force A-10
Thunderbolt (shown at right) over Pennsylvania. The other three Boeing
jets ended up in pieces at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean.
Some people have said that this
account of the events of September 11th 2001 is "too
convoluted to understand". Actually it's quite simple:
- Four commercial passenger jets
(American Airlines Flights 11 and 77 and United Airlines Flights
93 and 175) take off and shortly after the pilots are ordered to
land at a designated airport with a military presence.
- Two previously-prepared planes
(one a Boeing 767, painted up to look like a United Airlines jet
and loaded with extra jet fuel) take off and are flown by
remote control to intercept the flight paths of AA 11 and UA 175
so as to deceive the air traffic controllers.
- These (substituted) jets then fly
toward Manhattan; the first crashes into the North Tower and
(eighteen minutes later) the second crashes into the South Tower.
- A fighter jet (under remote
control), or a cruise missile, crashes into the Pentagon.
- The people on three of the
Boeings are transferred to the fourth (UA 93).
- This plane takes off and is shot
down by a U.S. Air Force jet over Pennsylvania, eliminating the
innocent witnesses to the diversion of the passenger planes.
- Under cover of darkness later
that evening the other three Boeings are flown by remote control
out over the Atlantic, are scuttled and end up in pieces at the
bottom of the ocean.
Prof. Dewdney concludes his Operation
Pearl article thus:
Under the Operation Pearl scenario, the most likely
perpetrator would be Mossad, Israel's spy agency. An arm's-length
relationship with the Bush administration, with neocon elements
acting as go-betweens, would enable Rumsfeld, Bush and other members
of the US administration to disclaim any "specific"
knowledge of a forthcoming attack.
So it appears that the Bush clique
(including neocons Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz) collaborated with
the Israeli government to stage the September 11th attacks, with
Mossad providing the hands-on direction of the operation. But it is
unlikely that Operation Pearl could be carried out entirely by Mossad
agents Americans within the U.S. Air Force and the state security
and intelligence agencies had to be involved.
The CIA has always maintained as a matter of
historical record that it has never murdered an American citizen on
American soil. If, as a result of Eric Olson's persistence in trying
to uncover what really happened to his father [Dr Frank
Olson, a U.S. Army scientist], and the investigating skills
of public prosecutor Saracco, this turns out to be a lie, it
could well be the beginning of the end of the Agency.
THE
OLSON FILE: A secret that could destroy the CIA
Similarly if the
CIA can be shown to have been involved in the murder of the 200 or
so passengers (most of them American citizens) on the four Boeing
jets, who died when UA Flight 93 exploded in the sky over
Pennsylvania, then the Agency will be finished (and none too soon
either).
5. Evidence for
Explosives in the Twin Towers
Millions of people around the world
watched the WTC events unfold live on CNN on September 11th,
2001, in near-disbelief. They saw huge clouds of smoke billowing
over Manhattan and saw the towers collapse ... in a curious way.
They did not fall over; they imploded, in the
way that most people have seen when a building is destroyed in a
controlled demolition: the building does not collapse in a
chaotic way, hurling debris over a wide area; rather it collapses upon
itself. This was how the WTC towers collapsed.
That the towers were demolished in a
controlled manner was noted immediately by some astute observers:

Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 3:12 PM
Subject: WTC bombing
Ok, is it just me, or did anyone
else recognize that it wasn't the airplane impacts that blew up
the World Trade Center? To me, this is the most
frightening part of this morning. ...
If you watch the time
sequence, you'll see that it happens like this:
- A plane hits tower #1, blowing a
hole in it high up. The expected things then happen:
- The building stays up. A
reinforced concrete building is *extremely* strong. Terrorists set off
a large bomb *inside* that building without significant damage. ...
- The second plane hits the second tower, lower and moving faster.
It blows a bigger hole through it, showering debris on the street,
but the building is clearly still standing and still looks quite solid.
- The second building begins burning, also
from the impact point up.
- Perhaps a half hour later, the fire in the first
building *goes out*. It is still smouldering and letting off
black smoke, but there is no flame. ...
- The fire in the second building goes
out.
- Then, later, the second building suddenly
crumbles into dust, in a smooth wave running from the top of the building
(above the burned part) down through all the stories at an equal
speed. The debris falls primarily inward. The tower
does not break off intact and collapse into other buildings. ... The crumbling
comes from the top (above the damage). It moves at a
uniform rate. All of the structural members are destroyed in a
smooth pattern, so there is no remaining skeleton. The damage is
uniform, symmetric, and total.
In summary, it looks exactly like a
demolition because that's what it is.
- The first tower collapses in a
similar demolition wave.
There's no doubt that the planes hit
the building and did a lot of damage. But look at the footage
those buildings were *demolished*. To demolish a building, you don't
need all that much explosive but it needs to be placed in the correct
places (in direct contact with the structural members) and ignited in a
smooth, timed sequence. ...
This message was posted to the internet on
September 11th, within hours of the collapse of the Twin Towers. Right from
the beginning, some people were not deceived.
Initially the explosives theory suffered
from the problem that the mainstream media did not report that anyone heard
explosions just prior to the WTC collapse. But in the last year reports have
surfaced, and there is now even video evidence available to anyone which shows
that explosions actually did occur within the Twin Towers prior to their
collapse.
Television viewers watching the horrific
events of Sept. 11 saw evidence of explosions before the towers collapsed.
Televised images show what appears to be a huge explosion occurring near
ground level, in the vicinity of the 47-story Salomon Brothers Building,
known as WTC 7, prior to the collapse of the first tower.
... One eyewitness whose office is
near the World Trade Center told AFP that he was standing among a crowd of
people on Church Street, about two-and-a-half blocks from the South tower,
when he saw "a number of brief light sources being emitted from inside
the building between floors 10 and 15." He saw about six of these brief
flashes, accompanied by "a crackling sound" before the tower
collapsed. Each tower had six central support columns.
One of the first firefighters in the
stricken second tower, Louie Cacchioli, 51, told People Weekly on Sept. 24:
"I was taking firefighters up in the elevator to the 24th floor to get
in position to evacuate workers. On the last trip up a bomb went off. We
think there were bombs set in the building."
Kim White, 32, an employee on the 80th
floor, also reported hearing an explosion. "All of a sudden the
building shook, then it started to sway. We didn't know what was going
on," she told People. "We got all our people on the floor into the
stairwell ... at that time we all thought it was a fire ... We got down
as far as the 74th floor ... then there was another explosion."
Eyewitness
Reports Persist Of Bombs At WTC Collapse
A Danish website offers a 4-hour video
containing visual evidence of what happened on September 11th which has been
suppressed or ignored by the mainstream media:
Video Clips of the falling Towers were often
edited in a manner that prevented the TV viewers in getting the "Full
picture" of the entire tower collapse. ... During my 1000 hours of
video investigation I have found only very few of such "Full picture
long distance shots" which showed the entire tower (from top to
bottom). Most of the video-clips we saw on Sept. 11 (and in the weeks
that followed) would be edited versions ... [which] did not give any
evidence of the numerous "clouds" from EXPLODING Bombs
"popping out of the windows" of the WTC facade far below the crash
level of the collapsing tower. ... Someone in the "editing rooms"
did not want to give us the "Full Picture"!
But some crucial BOMB video evidence did
in fact get out! In my video I will show you 5 significant "DUST
CLOUDS" from Demolition Bombs exploding INSIDE the WTC Towers. These
"Bomb Clouds" were located circa 20 and 40 levels BELOW the
"Crash level" of the falling Towers. ... [T]hey give full evidence
of a Distinct Demolition Bomb being exploded FAR BELOW the
"Crash-Point-level". Bombs

Clear video evidence for the occurrence of
explosions occurring during the collapse of the North Tower is given at Visual
Evidence of Controlled Demolition.
| First look at this video

of Explosives In The South Tower Collapse
And it was not only the Twin Towers which
were demolished deliberately but also the building known as WTC Seven.
Not detailed in the monopoly press, some fire-fighters who
survived Black Tuesday, contend there were explosions in the buildings, in a
portion of the twin World Trade Center towers, separate and apart from the
impact of the planes hitting the buildings. ... Were within-the-buildings
explosives remotely triggered off to collapse the towers like done with old
buildings? And there are good reasons to believe that within-the-building
explosives caused the mysterious collapse, late on the evening of Black
Tuesday, of World Trade Center Building 7. Sherman H. Skolnick:
The Overthrow of
the American Republic, Part 14
The Twin Towers collapsed in a very strange manner, leaving almost nothing but
metal fragments from the outer shell and huge quantities of fine ash and dust,
without the central steel columns from the lower sixty floors either standing
or fallen. This is very strange. Look at all that dust (click on
the image for an enlargement and for two further pictures of the clouds of
dust). It is as if some high-energy
disintegration beam had been focused on the tower, pulverizing every
concrete slab into minute particles of ash and dust.
But although some kind of "black"
technology may have been used in the demolition of the Twin Towers, we do not
need to establish this, since their collapse can be explained as a controlled
demolition brought about by explosives. In fact (as Christopher
Bollyn was the first to point out in his Open
Letter) evidence for massive explosions was captured by a seismograph
located 34 km from the WTC:
 |
| A
"sharp spike of short duration" is how an underground
nuclear explosion appears on a seismograph. |
The seismograph which recorded this
data was operated by Columbia Universitys Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.
A report was published by the American Geophysical Union in the November 20
issue of Eos, but the authors misinterpreted the data. They assumed,
and thus reported, that the two largest signals were caused by the collapses
of the Twin Towers. But:
During the collapse, most of the energy of
the falling debris was absorbed by the towers and the neighboring
structures, converting them into rubble and dust or causing other damage
but not causing significant ground shaking. Dr. Arthur
Lerner-Lam, Director of Columbia University's Center for Hazards and Risk
Research, as quoted in Earth
Institute News
So if most of the energy of the falling debris
was dissipated and was not the cause of the major spikes in the seismic record
then what was? Perhaps massive explosions in the lowest (level -7)
basements of the Twin Towers, besides the supporting steel columns where they
met the Manhattan bedrock? Perhaps even small nuclear explosions? Not
Hiroshima-style 15-kiloton blasts but perhaps the sort produced by mini-nukes
developed in recent years by the Pentagon? (The term Ground-zero
was coined in 1945 at Alamogordo NM to identify the epicenter where the first
atomic bomb was detonated.)
This, together with numerous demolition
charges detonated at every ten levels or so next to the supporting steel
columns, would explain one observation which the official story does not
explain: Why were the lower parts of the massive supporting steel columns not
left standing after the collapse? If the official story is true, that the
damage was caused by the impacts and fires, which occurred only in the upper
floors, and that the floors then pancaked, one would expect the massive steel
columns in the central core, for, say, the lowest 20 or 30 floors, to have
remained standing, which they did not. But this is understandable if the bases
of the steel columns were destroyed by explosions at the level of the bedrock.
With those bases obliterated, and the supporting steel columns shattered by
explosions at various levels in the Twin Towers, the upper floors lost all
support and collapsed to ground level in about ten seconds.
Further evidence for explosives is provided by
video evidence of the way in which the South Tower collapsed: The top thirty
or so floors keeled over at the beginning of the collapse. If the floors
had pancaked in the way that the official story has it then these top floors
should have fallen straight down. But if explosives somewhere in the
region of the impact level had blasted the steel supporting columns in the
core then it is understandable that the top floors tilted over (probably in
the direction of the damaged corner where the plane hit).
The explosive devices could have been
encased in heat-resistant material so that any of them which were exposed to
fire would not detonate. If timing was critical then they could be detonated
by remote control (a radio or microwave signal) at the right time.
Even if the fires disabled the bombs on the levels where the planes hit,
they would not disable the bombs on the floors below the fires. No wires,
CPUs or timing devices are needed, just some way for each explosive
device to respond to the unique signal causing it to explode. Even a timing
sequence may not have been needed simultaneous detonation of each device
in the above-ground levels may have been sufficient to produce the intended
result.
The time t required for an object to
fall from a height h (in a vacuum) is given by the formula t = sqrt(2h/g),
where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Thus an object falling from
the top of one of the towers (taking h = 1306 feet and g = 32.174
ft/sec2) would take 9.01 seconds to hit the ground if we ignore the
resistance of the air and a few seconds longer if we take air resistance into
account. The Twin Towers each collapsed in about fifteen seconds, close to
free fall (see this
video clip, copied from http://thewebfairy.com/911/).
Following the start of the collapse the upper floors would have had to shatter
the steel joints in all 85 or so floors at the lower levels. If this required
only a second per floor then the collapse would have required more than a
minute. But the material from the upper floors ploughed through the lower
floors at a speed of at least six floors per second. This is possible only if
all structural support in the lower 85 or so floors had been completely
eliminated prior to the initiation of the collapse. Since the lower floors
were undamaged by the plane impacts and the fires, the removal of all
structural support in these floors must have been due to some other cause
and the most obvious possibility is explosives. Thus the speed of the collapse
(not much more than the time of free fall) is strong evidence that
the Twin Towers were brought down in a controlled demolition involving the use
of explosives (or some other destructive technology) at all levels.
For a week after the collapse of the Twin
Towers there were areas beneath the surface which remained intensely hot.
AVIRIS data collected on September 16, 2001,
revealed a number of thermal hot spots in the region where the WTC buildings
collapsed. Analysis of the data indicated temperatures greater than 800oF
in these hot spots (some over 1300oF). U. S. Geological
Survey Report
What was the source of this heat? Could it have
been residual heat from underground nuclear explosions?
The Twin Towers were not the only buildings
in the WTC complex about which questions can be asked. There were other
WTC building "collapses".
A way to prove that the supporting steel
columns of the Twin Towers had been blasted by explosives would be to examine
fragments from them among the debris for evidence of what metallurgists call
"twinning". But the WTC debris was removed as fast as possible and
no forensic examination of the debris was permitted by the FBI or any other
government agency. Almost all the 300,000 tons of steel from the Twin Towers
was sold to New York scrap dealers and exported to places like China and Korea
as quickly as it could be loaded onto the ships, thereby removing the
evidence. See Debris
Mountain Starts to Shrink, an article which shows that Controlled
Demolition Inc. (a world leader in the demolition of tall buildings) was
apparently keen to have the debris removed and disposed of as soon as possible
and was able to come up with a detailed plan for doing so within eleven days
of the collapse of the Twin Towers, suggesting that this company had detailed
knowledge of the Twin Towers and the entire WTC complex prior to September 11th.
As a result of reports in 2001-2002 that the
Twin Towers were demolished by the use of explosives there have been more
detailed scientific studies appearing on the web in 2003. See, among others:
It might be objected that the WTC employed
hundreds of security guards and had hundreds of surveillance cameras
(supposedly) operating. With this kind of security it might be possible
to plant a few bombs but planting many (and especially bombs powerful enough
to destroy the foundations of the supporting steel columns) would seem
infeasible. However, the ownership of the World Trade Center changed hands
eleven weeks before the attack. The new owner was Larry Silverstein.
The destruction of the WTC and George W. Bush's declaration of a
"War on Terrorism" has proven to be (and could have been foreseen to
be) of major benefit to Israel in its brutal repression of the Palestinian
people, its efforts to destroy the Palestinian Authority, which it labels as
"terrorist-controlled", and its attempts to dominate all its Arab
neighbors. The new owners of the WTC might well have been persuaded to
cooperate in a scheme of such obvious benefit to Israel. But if eleven weeks
is considered insufficient time to plant explosives then how about several
years? This possibility will be considered in the next section.
6. Did the Twin Towers Collapse
on Demand?
When considering the possibility that the Twin Towers were brought down by
explosives there is an interesting variation which is worth considering: What
if the Twin Towers were designed or re-engineered so that they could
be destroyed in a controlled demolition if circumstances required?
What circumstances might lead to an order to
demolish the Twin Towers? A situation in which it was believed that they
were in danger of collapsing in an uncontrolled manner and falling onto the
buildings surrounding them in Manhattan's financial district. In such a case,
it might be held, better to demolish one or both of the towers in a controlled
manner so as to minimize death and destruction in the surrounding area.
A self-destruct mechanism might not have
been designed into the Twin Towers originally, but it might have been added
later, especially after the 1993 bombing of the WTC alerted all of America (an
in particular, the people working in the surrounding office buildings) to the
possibility that there might be another attack on the WTC which would succeed
in destroying the towers. It would not be particularly difficult to engineer
this possibility. One simply has to engage the services of a controlled
demolition company (such as Controlled
Demolition Inc. to set things up. (This is the company that hauled away
the rubble from the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City after its demolition and
provided a detailed plan to do the same for the WTC eleven days after
September 11th.) Naturally they would be told (if they wondered at the
purpose) that this was a "fail-safe" mechanism, not intended to be
used except to minimize damage in the event of an attack.
So such a company specializing in controlled demolition of large buildings
could study the problem and, with the approval of the owners (the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey prior to July 2001), place
explosives at just those points which would destroy the structural integrity
of the building (if and when detonated) so as to bring the Twin Towers down
precisely in the way the world witnessed on CNN on September 11th.
It has even been suggested that such a
self-destruct mechanism was required in order to prevent companies with
offices in the buildings in the vicinity of the Twin Towers from moving out
(fearing for the safety of their premises and their employees), and was also
required to persuade new companies to rent office space in Lower Manhattan. It
has been suggested that the company directors of large companies with, or
considering buying or renting, office space in the financial district would
not agree to keep or to obtain that office space unless they could be given an
assurance that in the event of a major attack on the WTC, sufficient to
destroy the Twin Towers, their offices would not be damaged significantly and
their employees would not be put in mortal danger. Whether this is true or not
is known only by a few, including the past and present owners of the WTC (and
some of their employees) and the directors of large companies with offices in
Lower Manhattan.
According to this theory, then, the plane
(and possibily missile) attacks on the WTC triggered this fail-safe mechanism,
and one or more engineers were obliged (in consultation with the owners of the
WTC or perhaps the owners acted alone) to decide whether the damage
to one or both of the towers was sufficient that there was a significant
danger that they would collapse in an uncontrolled manner upon the surrounding
areas, and that it was thus necessary to push the button which would detonate
the charges and bring the towers down, which they did.
[Testifying before a congressional inquiry] Gene Corley of
the American Society of Civil Engineers, said the Port Authority [of New York
and New Jersey] refused to hand over blueprints for the twin towers
crucial for evaluating the wreckage until he signed a waiver saying his
team would not use the plans in a lawsuit against the agency [that is,
against FEMA]. New York Daily News, 2002-03-07
Was this because a close examination of the
blueprints might reveal clues that the Twin Towers had been engineered to make
possible a controlled demolition? And that FEMA was aware of this?
Since it was this very same FEMA which took
charge of the "investigation" into the WTC collapse (and which later
released a nonsensical
report repeating the official explanation) one might be forgiven for
suspecting that their "investigation" has been something less than
an unbiased attempt to discover the truth of what happened.
Assume now, for the sake of argument, that a
"fail-safe" mechanism as described above was actually engineered
into the Twin Towers (probably in the mid-1990s). The explanation given above,
of the collapse of the Twin Towers, still leaves open one important question:
Did those who demolished the Twin Towers on the morning of September 11th plan
in advance to do so? Did they have prior knowledge of the plan to strike the
towers and was the controlled demolition of the Twin Towers (and the deaths of
thousands of people in the buildings) already planned by the perpetrators of
the attacks and those who assisted them?
Given the existence of the fail-safe
mechanism, a small number of people would have known about it, including
officials at FEMA and possibly including the most senior members of the
Manhattan business community (especially if such a mechanism was there to
persuade them to remain in Manhattan). Even though this mechanism was
presumably built in to the Twin Towers hoping it would never be used,
some people would know that it was there and that it could be used
provided one had the authority to initiate the demolition procedure and
a putatively sufficient reason to exercise that authority.
Who had such authority? Presumably the
owners of the World Trade Center (though perhaps they could not have pushed
the button without first obtaining permission from FEMA).
Most of the World Trade Center changed hands
in a $3.2 billion, 99-year lease deal that was concluded only seven weeks
before the attack; with a sweetheart tax deal and new insurance covering
buildings and rents payable to new beneficiaries. The
Blockbuster
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
signed the deal with the Silverstein-led Westfield America on the 26th
April, 2001. Westfield America leased the concourse mall, and [Larry]
Silverstein the office portion.
The deal was finalized and celebrated on
the 23rd July just seven weeks before almost the entire complex
was destroyed. Port Authority officers gave a giant set of keys to the
complex to Silverstein and to Westfield CEO Lowy.
Silverstein was ecstatic at that
time. "This is a dream come true," he had said. "We will
be in control of a prized asset, and we will seek to develop its
potential, raising it to new heights." An ironic choice of words, in
retrospect. The
Blockbuster
The "arguably sufficient reason"
was provided by the impacts and the subsequent structural damage and fire.
According to this scenario, then, the purpose of the impacts was not
themselves to destroy the Twin Towers but rather to provide the
"justification" for detonating the explosives which brought them
down in a controlled demolition.
It is interesting, in considering this idea,
to look at the actual times that the Twin Towers stood after the impacts. As
noted above, the North Tower was hit first, at 8:45 a.m.,
in a direct hit and most of the plane's fuel entered the building, causing a
huge fire. Then at 9:03 a.m. the
South Tower was hit, but the plane hit the tower toward a corner and at a
shallow angle, and comparatively little of the jet fuel entered the building,
most burning up outside. In both cases the fires within the buildings died
down after awhile, giving off only black, sooty smoke. If the Twin Towers were
deliberately demolished, and the intention was to blame the collapse on the
fires (as the official story has it) then the latest time at which the towers
could be collapsed would be just as the fires were dying down. Since the fire
in the South Tower resulted from the combustion of less fuel than the fire in
the North Tower, the fire in the South Tower began to go out earlier than the
fire in the North Tower. Those controlling the demolition thus had to collapse
the South Tower before they collapsed the North Tower. And in fact the South
Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m., 56 minutes after impact, whereas the North Tower
collapsed at 10:29 a.m., 1 hour and 44 minutes after impact. These times are
consistent with the hypothesis that the progress of the fires was being
monitored by whoever was handling the demolition, and that they collapsed the
towers at the last possible time, just as the fires were dying down.
We arrived on, uh, late Monday night [September 10th]
and went into action on Tuesday morning [September 11th]; and not
until today did we get a full opportunity to work, uh, the entire site. Tom Kenny (FEMA),
speaking to CBS anchor Dan Rather on September 12th.
7. The Perpetrators
The person who, shortly after the attacks on
the WTC, was announced as "the prime suspect" (without any
evidence), and quickly promoted to "the mastermind behind the
attacks", was Usama bin Laden, who has made no secret of his animosity
toward the U.S. for its support and funding of Israel's brutality toward the
Palestinians, for what he sees as the Americans' defilement of Saudi Arabia
(the location of two of the three holiest Islamic sites), the continued
bombing of Iraq and the Americans' support of the (as he sees them) apostate
regimes of Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The contempt with which the U.S.
is regarded by many Arab organizations (not to mention many non-Arab
organizations), and the involvement of Arabs in the ineffective bombing of the
WTC in 1993, means that Arabs are automatically suspected in any terrorist
attack against the U.S. (as they were in the Oklahoma City Bombing until the
government announced that Timothy McVeigh was the culprit).
Within hours of the attacks on the Twin
Towers and the Pentagon Dan Rather and other mainstream media whores were
quoting unidentified "government sources" as stating that Usama bin
Laden was the culprit. As the WTC bombers intended, most Americans
immediately believed this claim and continue to regard him as the perpetrator
of this atrocity and the entire Arab world as their enemy (a reaction
welcomed by many in Israel). Many people in Arab countries also believe
he did it because for them Usama bin Laden personifies the resentment against
American exploitation of the Third World which they themselves feel. But
Usama bin Laden has never said that he was behind the September 11th attack,
and, indeed, has explicitly denied this.
I have already said that I am not involved in the 11
September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to
avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I
consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an
appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent
women, children and other people. Such a practice is forbidden even in
the course of a battle. It is the United States, which is perpetrating
every maltreatment on women, children and common people ...
Usama bin Laden, Interview with Pakistani newspaper Ummat (Karachi),
September 28, 2001. Full
text here.
After one of the video broadcasts from the
Al-Jazeera TV station in Qatar (which, as has been pointed out elsewhere,
may have been a Western-concocted forgery, since Usama bin Laden, or someone
impersonating him, is shown wearing a U.S. Army jacket much as if
Churchill had delivered his wartime speeches wearing a swastika armband and
the uniform of a Luftwaffe colonel) Condoleezza Rice declared that this
was an "admission" by Usama bin Laden of responsibility for the
September 11th attack. It was not, but by claiming it was she maintains
the official line of blaming "Arab terrorists" and draws attention
away from the true perpetrators of this atrocity.
Since the Twin Towers could be brought down
by the use of explosives, why bother to crash commercial jets into them? The
reason is that the demolition expertise required is certainly beyond the
capabilities of any Arab terrorists (especially if nuclear devices were used).
Had the Twin Towers simply been demolished in the way that they were then many
questions would have been asked as to how this happened. A story that
Arab terrorists detonated explosives which completely destroyed the
buildings would not withstand criticism, so some other "plausible"
explanation for the collapse of the towers had to be provided and this was
done in the form of the plane impacts and subsequent fires. This
"explanation" had an initial plausibility, and it was immediately
broadcast by the mainstream media, and immediately accepted by a public in a
state of shock. Only a careful examination of this story, such as has
been done in J. McMichael's
article, reveals that it is full of holes.
The aim all along was to place the blame on
"Arab terrorists". It would have been difficult to explain how a
band of men "of Middle-Eastern appearance" had gained the
necessary access to many levels of the Twin Towers to plant the required
explosives and had acquired the demolition expertise to demolish the Twin
Towers in a professional manner. But many people would readily believe a story
that Arab "terrorists" had hijacked commercial jetliners and flown
them into the Twin Towers on a "suicide mission". So that was the
story that was put out, with the help of the many "journalists" in
the mainstream media who are tools of the CIA, lying to the American people
whenever requested to do so.
The attacks against the WTC and the Pentagon
were brought to us by the same group of people (though "human"
may not be the correct term for them) who gave us the 1993
World Trade Center Bombing and the Oklahoma
City Bombing.
There is evidence that the former was
actually planned and directed, not by Arab terrorists (who were merely the
operatives), but by the
FBI.
The mastermind [of the 1993 WTC bombing] is the government of
the United States. It was a phony, government-engineered conspiracy to begin
with. It would never have amounted to anything had the government not
planned it. Ron Kuby, defense attorney, quoted in Troubling
Questions in Troubling Times
In the Oklahoma City Bombing explosives were placed by the structural
supports of the Murrah Federal Building, demolishing it and killing
hundreds of people. The psy-war propaganda experts then succeeded in
convincing the more gullible among the American people that this was
the work of one or two men using a truck full of ammonium nitrate.
(Some of the high-explosive devices planted within the building did not
explode, were seen by four witnesses after the attack, and were removed
by the FBI but were never officially mentioned.) Within a few
days of the bombing the Counter-Terrorism Bill was passed by Congress,
a piece of legislation which provided for secret trials and seizure of
assets without due process of law, and which foreshadowed the so-called
Patriot Act passed by Congress one month after the events of September 11th.
An examination of the evidence, as above and
as done in other websites, shows that (i) the Twin
Towers were not brought down by the plane impacts and the fires but rather by
massive explosions and (ii) what caused the damage to the Pentagon was
certainly not a Boeing 757 but more likely an F-16 jet or a cruise missile.
This excludes "Arab terrorists" as the perpetrators because (i) only
a small number of American demolition companies have the expertise to demolish
tall buildings in the way that the Twin Towers collapsed and (ii) only the
American military has and can use F-16s and cruise missiles (at least,
within U.S. airspace). The perpetrators of these atrocities were Americans,
and they must have occupied (and continue to occupy) high positions within the
U.S. government and the U.S. military to have been able to do what they did
and (so far) get away with it.
On the side the plotters purchased put
options for companies whose stocks were sure to be adversely affected by these
events, such as the parent companies of the airlines whose planes were
believed to have been hijacked. Their intention was to make a killing, so to
speak, by purchasing the right to sell stocks in these companies at a price
which they knew would be considerably higher than the price they could buy
them at on the open market (after the September 11th attack had driven the
prices down).
September 6-7, 2001 4,744 put options
(a speculation that the stock will go down) are purchased on United Air
Lines stock as opposed to only 396 call options (speculation that the stock
will go up). This is a dramatic and abnormal increase in sales of put
options. Many of the UAL puts are purchased through Deutschebank/AB Brown,
a firm managed until 1998 by the current Executive Director of the CIA,
A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard. Suppressed
Details of Criminal Insider Trading Lead Directly into the CIA's Highest
Ranks
Despite an SEC investigation, the identity
of those who purchased these put options has so far not been revealed. The
reason for this is that it was probably the Carlyle Group which purchased
these options, and closely associated with this cabal are George H. W. Bush
(former U.S. President), Frank Carlucci (former Deputy Directory of the CIA),
James Baker (former Secretary of State) and John Major (former U.K. Prime
Minister). For further details click on the image below:
For another such chart, which also has the
Carlyle Group in a (shall we say) commanding position, click here.
The enormity of the atrocity of the attack on
the Twin Towers is made worse by its being perpetrated, not by external
enemies of America, but from within by a secret group of traitors who may
be American-born but who care nothing for American national pride since for
them control of the U.S. is just a means toward total control of the planet.
For at least forty years this group of traitors (most of whom are present or former
occupants of the White House or are working or have worked in those
U.S. government organizations whose activities are hidden behind a cloak
of "national security", or are high-level military officers) has controlled
the U.S. government by subversion of its democratic institutions, has
manipulated a gullible American population and the political leadership
of other countries by the skillful use of propaganda (with the help
of shamelessly compliant and Zionist-dominated "news"
organizations), has ruthlessly exploited the economic resources of the Earth
for its own profit, and must now be laughing and congratulating itself
that its lies appear to have been believed by almost everyone and that its
plans for complete economic and military conquest of the entire planet
are coming along so nicely thanks to the stupidity of the American people,
who appear to be mostly incapable of thinking about anything except their
own amusement (if they are well-off, or their own economic survival if
they are not) and who are willing to believe whatever their lying
government tells them.
But just as the attempt by the
predecessors of these traitors to establish a "Thousand-Year Reich"
resulted in complete and ignominious defeat, their plans also may yet come to
naught, though at what cost to the American people and the rest of
the world remains to be seen.
The situation may actually be much
worse than this. The evil which has been perpetrated by these
traitors, acting through the U.S. government, its military and its
multinationals, the IMF and other institutions, over many years, is
sufficiently great that one has to wonder whether the instigators have
any concern at all for the welfare and dignity of the human species.
The ultimate instigators of this atrocity (and of the larger drive
to enslave, or perhaps exterminate, the entire population of the
planet) may actually not be
human at all. If so, we have a real problem.
8. The "War on
Terrorism"
We cannot
let terrorists and rogue nations hold this nation hostile or hold our
allies hostile. George W. Bush, Des Moines, Iowa,
Aug. 21, 2000
In a speech to a joint session of Congress
on September 17th, 2001, Bush announced that America was embarked upon a
"War on Terrorism" (in that speech he used the words
"terror", "terrorist" and "terrorism" at total
of 32 times, and "war" twelve times, so no-one would fail
to get the message). But before the U.S. retaliated by bombing
Afghanistan day and night for weeks it should first have
established exactly who instigated, planned and directed the terrorist
attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon. Despite the attempt to
blame nineteen Arabs, allegedly the hijackers of the four planes, this was not
done. Such evidence, if it were ever produced (and, of course, it will
never be produced), must be such as to convince third parties such as the Europeans,
and the evidence must be made public (not every last detail, but
enough to establish the case). Insiders such as the U.S. President,
the British Prime Minister and the NATO Secretary-General declaring
themselves "convinced" is insufficient. Such declarations will
fool some people, but these officials are literally warmongers and will do
anything to justify their waging of war, including lying to the public about
the convincingness of the alleged evidence. Only when convincing
evidence has been made public, and the identity of the attackers established,
would it be possible to declare "war" without misuse of language.
Until then the "War on Terrorism" will be a propaganda campaign
like the "War on Drugs" a way of disguising the true
aims and motivations of those waging this "war", which in this case
is that age-old motivation: territorial and economic conquest.
But, of course, the U.S. government will
never reveal who exactly planned and directed these attacks, firstly because
it was an inside job, and secondly because blame must be laid upon "Arab
terrorists" in order to "justify" the "War on
Terrorism" and the military assaults upon Arab countries (recently and,
as the U.S. and Britain plan at least, for years to come;
indeed, in the words of one Pentagon official, possibly "for the
rest of our lives").
The "War on Terrorism" has three
major components:
(1) A propaganda war waged firstly
against the American people and secondly against the rest of the people on
this planet who have access to TV and newspapers.
(2) A large increase in the powers of surveillance and control
exercised by the U.S. federal government over U.S. citizens and
residents and in the ability of the government to impose censorship.
(3) The use of American military force (with help mainly from the
British), to whatever extent necessary, to gain control of the oil
reserves of the Caspian Basin, the mineral wealth of Central Asia and whatever
other economic resources in other parts of Asia that the U.S. wishes to
control.
The purpose of (1) is to disguise the true
nature of (3) by presenting it as the use of military force to protect
Americans against future terrorist attacks. The purpose of (2) is to
stifle any protest and dissent from those Americans who are not fooled by (1)
and who object to (3). Bush, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft & Co. know from the
1960s demonstrations against the Vietnam War that domestic opposition to
military aggression abroad can bring that aggression to an end, and they wish
to make sure in advance that the same thing will not happen this time.
The American government says that America is
"at war" (as if that justifies anything the government wishes to
do). But a war requires an identifiable enemy. A war is
a war between two or more opposing sides. A "war" in
which one side is invisible is a fantasy a pretext to restrict civil
liberties, to impose censorship
and to deny rights guaranteed to American citizens under the U.S.
Constitution. It is a tool for psychological
operations directed against both domestic and foreign populations, for
deceiving the American people and others and persuading them to submit
willingly to violations of their human rights. (Though one might say
that if they do submit then they deserve the enslavement that will come to
them.) And in this case, as noted above, the purpose is to suppress
any domestic opposition to U.S. military action abroad. And at home;
remember that the U.S. military has been used against American citizens
before at Waco.
What is too
shocking for many Americans to contemplate is that the terrorist attacks, from
which the people of the U.S. are supposed to be protected by the "War on
Terrorism", are themselves part of the propaganda war. In order to
"justify" to the American people the U.S. bombing of
Afghanistan and the deaths of Afghan civilians, the violent overthrow of
the (admittedly reprehensible) Taleban government, the deployment of U.S. ground
troops to sieze territory in Afghanistan and in other countries, and the use
of whatever weapons of death the Pentagon plans to use (including
"low yield" nuclear weapons), the U.S. must present its actions
as being morally good and noble (as in World War II), specifically,
as motivated by the desire to protect decent, innocent American citizens
from the evil of terrorist attacks.
Thus
the American people are presented with staged photo ops such as that of
the firemen raising the American flag (this was filmed by the NYPD video
team), which most people would (subconsciously at least) associate with the
raising of the American flag on Iwo Jima in World War II in the noble
fight against the evil fascist forces of Imperialist Japan.
Without terrorist attacks there is no
justification for the military action, so terrorist attacks there must be (or
at least, the perpetual fear of such). The attacks on the WTC and the
Pentagon were the first (unless we count the
Waco Massacre and the Oklahoma
City Bombing), brought to you by those people who are directing the
propaganda campaign and, indeed, scripting this entire "War on
Terrorism". And (as the CIA informed members of Congress in
early October 2001) it is certain that there will be more terrorist attacks
(how did they know?) most of them far less spectacular than the
destruction of the Twin Towers, but sufficient (such as the controlled release
of anthrax bacteria, probably by the CIA itself) to induce in the American
public a state of constant fear made worse by their not knowing who is
really behind these attacks.
Does
the WTC attack feel like a movie? It does? Well of course it
does! It has been specifically written as a movie script. ...
This entire sequence of: hijack; first plane; second plane; Pentagon ;WTC
collapse; phone calls from the planes; copy of the Koran; more attempted
hijackings; arrests; plucky passengers; etc., etc., has been scripted by a
crew of cynical planners who could care less that REAL people died in the
Twin Towers. Tall Tales of the Wag Movie
In March 2002 U.S. Vice-President Dick
Cheney toured the Middle East trying to drum up Arab support for a second
American-led war against Iraq. He was politely informed by Arab leaders to
crawl back into his hole. So the Bush administration now needs another Big
Catastrophe on American soil to justify the war they want to wage against
Iraq.
"I think that the prospects of a future [terrorist]
attack on the U.S. are almost a certainty." Dick Cheney, speaking
on Fox News,
2002-05-19
And just in time for the mid-term
Congressional elections we were presented with the 2002-10-12 terrorist
bombing at Kuta in Bali. It seems likely that this was the work of the same
people who carried out the attacks of September 11th. It was a psychological
operation directed mainly against the people of Australia, most of whom were
opposed to their government's shameful support of America's plans to wage war
on Iraq. For a fuller consideration of this matter see:
The
Meaning of the Kuta Bombing
Look for something like a
low-yield nuclear explosion in the vicinity of Washington D.C.
(downwind from the White House and far enough away from Langley that the
spooks won't have to evacuate), sufficient to scare the congresscritters into
going into the underground bunkers that have been prepared for them, after
which America will be entirely in the hands of George W. Bush's
"shadow government".
Or perhaps a chemical and/or biological
"terrorist attack" on Washington and New York which will kill
thousands of people, including a large number of congresscritters (George W. Bush
and his cronies will, of course, conveniently be out of town), a number
large enough that the legislative branch of the U.S. government is no
longer functional, allowing Bush to declare a state of national emergency,
implement the proposed Patriot II legislation by presidential decree, and
cancel the 2004 election.
Wars end when one of the opposing sides
is beaten into submission and can no longer fight. But if one side is
invisible then the war can never end, because there is no way to know
that the opposing side has been defeated. Indeed, if the American
people begin to believe that perhaps the "terrorist threat" has
begun to recede you can be sure that another "terrorist attack" will
occur, courtesy of those scripting the "War on Terrorism", which
will return them to their former state of fear and dread, which is just where
the perpetrators want them to be. The "enemy" will remain an
invisible, diabolical presence, unseen except for its evil effects when
"the terrorists" attack again. The American people have
entered what may be a long, drawn-out, nightmare, in which nothing will be
what it seems. It is The Towering Inferno, Armageddon and The
X-Files suddenly emerging into daily life.
The "War on Terrorism" is the psy-war
successor to the "War on Drugs". It has been clear to
almost everyone for quite some time that the "War on Drugs" is
totally discredited, and those who are informed know that it is basically a
component in a huge and long-running scam whereby the U.S. government
finances its covert operations and (in part) its military by means of its profits
from its international drug trafficking (see Prohibition:
The So-Called War on Drugs for details). It became clear to the
U.S. government, especially in view of the tolerance and regulation of
drug use adopted in recent years in many European countries, that it can no
longer maintain its "War on Drugs" with any degree of
credibility. Thus the people of the U.S. had to be hoodwinked into
supporting a new "War", and the bogeyman of "militant Arab
fundamentalists" (helped greatly by a Zionist-dominated mainstream
media and terrorist attacks on the WTC in 1993, probably provoked by the
FBI, and on US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, in which US Army
explosives had reportedly been used) provided a useful target.
This "War on Terrorism", like the
"War on Drugs", will involve the usual propaganda
techniques such as lies, deception, misrepresentation of opposition
viewpoints, disinformation, fake
opposition and media emphasis on what is irrelevant (for example,
that Mohammed Atta may have contacted an Iraqi intelligence agent in Prague
of only minor interest since there were no on-board hijackers and he and
the other Arabs on board were set up to take the blame). The propaganda
campaign will continue until the instigators and scripters of this
"War" believe they have finally gained domination over all countries
and have attained control of the entire planet and all its economic
resources or until they themselves have been defeated.
9. Wars for Oil
The United States of America inherited
Britain's imperialist ambitions. Starting from a group of colonies in
"New England" it expanded by stealing land on which Native Americans
had lived for tens of thousands of years (killing millions of them in the
process). It also stole half of Mexico. In 1898 the U.S. expanded its
imperialist program overseas when it annexed the Philippines to benefit
American companies wanting to exploit the land and the people. Since then it
has maintained the same predatory attitude to the rest of the world. It will
not stop until it has gained control of the entire planet or it has been
destroyed (or destroys itself).
Skipping over a long history of U.S.
imperialist aggression against other countries, we may note that the U.S. did
not go to war in the Persian Gulf in 1991 to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi
aggression (to which its ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, had given a green
light) but rather to move military forces into the area and to establish
military bases so as to exercise greater control over the area's oil. Talk of
removing "that evil dictator Saddam Hussein" is simple obfuscation.
Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are lying to the American people when they pretend
to be outraged at the actions of the Iraqi dictator (whom the U.S. supported
right up until 1991, including Saddam's use of chemical weapons against the
Kurds). In fact it is control of Middle Eastern oil which is the primary
motivation for U.S. military plans for that area.
Even before assuming the office of President
it was announced by George W. Bush that war was planned.
And so one of Secretary [of Defense] Rumsfeld's first tasks
will be ... to develop a strategy necessary to have a force equipped for
warfare of the 21st century. George W. Bush,
Washington DC, December 28, 2000
And, conveniently enough, the attacks of
September 11th provided just the excuse needed for a yet greater military
build up (and justification for Bush's $344 billion war budget) in particular
the already-planned development of "defensive" missiles,
allegedly to foil attacks by "international terrorists" (even though
they neither possess nor need intercontinental nuclear-tipped ballistic
missiles), but which might also prove quite useful in defending the U.S.
from retaliation by any nation which it chooses to attack.
WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED to save
succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime
has brought untold sorrow to mankind ... Preamble to
the Charter of the United Nations
As a member of the United Nations the U.S.
has committed itself to the principles expressed in the Charter. Since 1980,
however, the U.S. has consistently flouted these principles, abrogating
treaties and attacking other nations without international consent.
Indeed, the U.S. government, in violation of the United Nations charter
and international law, has now given itself permission in the form of
a congressional
resolution to attack whoever it wants to, to engage openly in political
assassinations in the manner of Israel, and generally to wage war
upon whoever it chooses to label as its enemy. Actually Congress excused
itself from any direct responsibility for this aggression since it resolved
"That the president is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate
force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines
[emphasis added] planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist
attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or
persons ..." So if George W. Bush thinks (to the extent that he is
able to think) that, say, Iran "harbors terrorists" then Congress
has said it's OK by them for George to nuke Teheran.
The number of innocent civilians who
have died as a result of U.S. military action in Afghanistan and Iraq is far
greater than the number of those who died in the WTC attack.
But, of course, since those killed by American firepower were not Americans,
British or Australians, this is of no concern, except insofar as it might
result in international condemnation, making it difficult to maintain the "international
coalition" (the coalition of the willingly bribed) that the U.S.
seeks to provide a fig-leaf for its planned military aggression against those
countries that stand in the way of its global domination. And, by the way,
such aggression and the collateral regional wars that it will cause in
various parts of Asia will, of course, be good for U.S. arms manufacturers,
and other American companies with friends in the U.S. government, which profit
from war.
Not only did Bush announce a "War on
Terrorism", he even spoke stupidly of a "crusade", invoking
memories of the medieval Christian crusades against Islam to recover
"the Holy Land" (conveniently forgetting that the Crusaders
held Palestine for a comparatively brief period before they were defeated by
Muslim forces under Saladin on July 4th, 1187, and subsequently driven into
the sea). These days, for some people, oil is the holy grail, and recovery of
the Holy Land means gaining control of the oil fields, the primary reason
why America has given itself permission to invade whatever countries it
chooses to.
And it's not just Middle Eastern oil
there are huge oil deposits in the Caspian Basin (larger than in Saudia
Arabia). In 1998 John J. Maresca, vice-president of Unocal,
testified before the House Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific that a pipeline
across Afghanistan was crucial to transport Caspian Basin oil to the
Indian Ocean. Bush and the American oil companies dearly wanted to lay
such a pipeline across Afghanistan but they could not do so while the Taleban
ruled Afghanistan because the Taleban demanded
too large a per centage as their cut for allowing the
pipeline project to proceed. Hence, the oil monopoly need[ed] to
overthrow the Kabul government, install their own government, and proceed
with the pipeline project. Sherman H. Skolnick, The Overthrow
of the American Republic, Part 2
In fact from February to August 2001 the Bush
administration conducted detailed negotiations with the Taliban to lay this
hoped-for pipeline across Afghanistan and Pakistan so as to profit from
lucrative sales to oil-hungry Asian countries. In August the
negotiations broke down, after a U.S. negotiator threatened military action
against the Taliban, saying, accept our offer of a carpet of gold or you will
get a carpet of bombs (see Bin
Laden: The Forbidden Truth). One month later the rationale for
the carpet-bombing was provided by the destruction of the WTC.
And, sure enough, in September 2002 plans
for this pipeline were being implemented.
Oil ministers from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan
[were] to meet in the Afghan capital Kabul Monday [2002-09-16] to review
progress on the 1,500-kilometer, $2billion Afghan-Pakistan-Turkmenistan gas
pipeline, officials said. ... The pipeline is to carry gas from
Turkmenistan's Dauletabad-Donmez field to Afghanistan and Multan, Pakistan.
It is supported by the United States. Islamic
Republic News Agency
And in December 2002 the deal was signed.
Turkmen President Sapamurat Niyazov, Pakistani Prime Minister
Zafarullah Jamali and Afghan President Hamid Karzai finalised a vital gas
pipeline agreement here on Thursday [2002-12-26]. The leaders of the three
countries would sign the framework agreement to build the 1,500-kilometre
Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan (TAP) gas pipeline project from
Turkmenistan's Dauletabad fields across Afghanistan to Pakistan on Friday.
HiPakistan.com
As is obvious, the modern West (and those
countries which have followed its lead) have been built on a ruthless
exploitation of the Earth's resources, particularly oil. For these countries
oil is an addiction, and there is no political will to break the habit. The
hyperactivity of the global economy during the last century is like the
hyperactivity of a speed freak, and in the end both will crash. If the
dominance of the oil industry over government is not broken then in the near
future of the human race global famine and disease are a certainty (and don't
think Americans, Europeans or Australians will be spared).
The System
may or may not understand that it's only buying time. And that time is an
artificial resource to begin with, of no value to anyone other
than the System, which must sooner or later crash to its death, when its
addiction to energy has become more than the rest of the World can supply,
dragging with it innocent souls all along the chain of life.
Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow
And, by the way, there's something in
Central Asia that's a lot more profitable than oil. This region has the main
transit routes for Afghani
heroin being smuggled to Western countries. When one recalls that American
military cargo planes were returning from Central America in the 1980s loaded
with cocaine for distribution in the U.S. by the
CIA and the Mafia one has to wonder what might be in American military
cargo planes currently flying out of recently-established U.S. bases and
airports in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan.
10. The Demise of Liberty
Immediately after the events of September 11th
there were calls for greatly increased security at airports and on planes, and
many millions of U.S. taxpayers' dollars were spent on this. Troops
with automatic rifles stand around at airports, waiting for the next gang of
Arab terrorists to burst into the departure lounge shouting "God is
great!" in Arabic and threatening everyone with box cutters.
Airport check-in now takes hours, passengers are subjected to invasive
searches before boarding planes, women are fondled under the pretext of
searching for weapons hidden in bras, and if you look Middle Eastern then you
may not be allowed to fly at all. Indeed, you do not even have to look
Middle Eastern; numerous people have been prevented from boarding their
domestic flights because they are on a "watch list" of
political or environmental activists suspected of holding views opposed to
those of the U.S. government (a way to prevent them from visiting friends and
colleagues and from travelling to conferences).
All this is insulting, offensive, useless,
irrelevant and in some cases illegal, and is a major disruption in the lives
of ordinary Americans, because, as noted above, there
were no suicide pilots. No hijackers boarded the four doomed planes
carrying knives and box cutters, so installing expensive security equipment at
airports and treating every passenger as a potential hijacker is not only an
insult but is also a complete waste of time and money (though it is sure to
make a lot of money for the manufacturers of airport security equipment).
Those who planned the attacks on the WTC and
the Pentagon would have realized that, although it was possible to crash
planes into the Twin Towers under remote control, this would in itself
have produced only huge damage, with perhaps hundreds of lives lost, which was
not enough. What they needed was the destruction of both towers completely,
for maximum psychological effect upon the people of the U.S.
and the world and for the provocation of a hysterical reaction
from the American people directed against Arabs and the Islamic
world. Thus they needed to arrange for the demolition and total
collapse of the Twin Towers following the plane impacts. This was
accomplished by the use of explosives, as discussed in Section 5.
The demolition of the WTC was part
of an ongoing plan (in effect since the Kennedy assassination if not
before) to destroy the American Republic (what's left of it anyway) and
replace it by a de facto dictatorship (as part of the drive
toward a global dictatorship in the form of a world government).
Just as the Oklahoma City Bombing created a situation conducive to the
government's rushing through "anti-terrorist" legislation this
"Attack on America" provided a further nice justification for
eliminating whatever civil liberties the American people had up to now
managed to hold on to. In the name of "safety" and
"security" the "authorities" now have a
"legal" right (the appropriate legislation has already been
passed by a compliant and corrupt Congress under the guise of "an emergency
anti-terrorist package") to do whatever they want to monitor and
control the entire population. Anyone accused of being "a threat
to the safety and security of the American people" (in reality,
to the state and those who control it) will find themselves imprisoned
without benefit of trial (if they do not "disappear" completely as
did many of the victims of Chile's DINA secret police). Already in mid-October
2001 the FBI announced the arrest of more than 600 people, "refusing to
identify most of the detainees and offering few details about why the
government wanted them behind bars." (International Herald Tribune,
October 15, 2001) By December the number had grown to over 1,200, with
only about a dozen of those persons charged with a crime, and with only one of
them, Zacharias Moussaoui, charged with a crime related to the attacks on the
WTC and the Pentagon. Torture was being considered for those who are
"uncooperative". (Let's hope no-one in your family gets
arrested, by mistake, and information is demanded from them which they don't
have.)
Bush has as good as told the American
people that they have to sacrifice their civil liberties and their rights
under the U.S. Constitution and the Bill
of Rights in support of his "war", which most people seem
willing, sheep-like, to do (such amazing stupidity! or is half the
population on Prozac?). Attorney General John Ashcroft urged Congress to
pass proposed "anti-terrorist" legislation without even considering
what it stipulated. The legislation was hastily rushed through (the same
day it was introduced) over the objections of civil rights advocates by a
corrupt and compliant Congress in the second week of October 2001. This, the
so-called Patriot Act, consisted of 342 pages, and those who voted for it
could not possibly have read it.
The Patriot Act is a blatant denial of the
Bill of Rights and as such is grossly unconstitutional and therefore
illegal. According to this disgraceful legislation:
- The FBI can now spy on your email, fax
and telephone communications without even bothering to get a court order,
and can demand access to your medical, employment, travel, library and
bank and credit card records, simply on the grounds that you are a
"suspected terrorist".
- Police may obtain a warrant to search
your home (if you live on U.S. territory) on the grounds that you are a
"suspected terrorist" and they may then enter your home when you
are away and search through your papers and copy your computer files, and
they are not obliged to inform you for another 90 days (if then).
- The Attorney General can strip any U.S. citizen
of all his constitutional rights simply by declaring him or her to be a
"suspected terrorist" or "enemy combatant"; no
evidence is required and there is no appeal or recourse to a court of law.
- A person so designated (whether or not a
U.S. citizen), or a person who provides aid (even food or shelter) to
such a person, may be imprisoned without trial indefinitely.
Ashcroft announced in August 2002 plans to
open camps for the incarceration of "suspected terrorists". Anyone
who opposes the policies of the U.S. government may now be designated a
"suspected terrorist" and may be stripped of their constitutional
rights and locked up indefinitely. Clearly Ashcroft
is following the example of the Nazis who lost no time after coming to
power in 1933 in establishing the Dachau concentration camp for the
incarceration of anyone suspected of opposing the Nazi government.
The Patriot Act is such a blatant
contradiction of the Bill of Rights that all senators who voted for it are
unworthy of their office, since either they read it and understood it (in
which case they are guilty of treason) or they did not (in which case they
failed to fulfill their responsibility as elected representatives of the
people).
Moreover, the Patriot Act was not
drafted in response to the events of September 11th it was drafted
well before that date, and the events of September 11th were the
excuse for its introduction.
U.S. government officials would have us believe that this
342-page, complexly nuanced document was allegedly crafted after September 11
in the time span of a little over a month. To accomplish this feat would
have required the in-depth study [within a month] of fifteen other lengthy
acts and statutes which it modifies and amends. Doreen Miller: High
Treason in the U.S. Government
The instigators and scripters of the
"War on Terrorism", who place their trust in modern technology (and
propaganda), believe themselves invincible in their drive to enslave everyone,
American and non-American alike. But they overlook the fact that those
Americans who have not prostituted themselves to the national security state
and who, as true Americans, hold liberty among their highest values (and there
are a lot of them) are unlikely to submit without a fight when they
understand what is really going on.
11. The U.S.A. a Terrorist
State
Many still believe that the attacks on the Twin
Towers and the Pentagon were the work of Arab terrorists who hate America.
George W. Bush has even suggested in his usual idiotic fashion that they
hate America because "America is free", "America is a
democracy", etc. No. America used to be admired for these
qualities. Where America is now hated it is because of its long-standing and
intolerable interference and domination of other countries and its
impoverishment of the people of those countries.
The initiators of the attacks decided to implement
their plan after America has provoked immense hatred throughout the world.
Not because of its might, but because of the way it uses its might. It
is hated by the enemies of globalization, who blame it for the terrible
gap between rich and poor in the world. It is hated by millions
of Arabs, because of its support for the Israeli occupation and the suffering
of the Palestinian people. It is hated by multitudes of Muslims,
because of what looks like its support for the Jewish domination of the Islamic
holy shrines in Jerusalem. And there are many more angry peoples who
believe that America supports their tormentors.
Until September 11, 2001 ... Americans could entertain the illusion
that all this concerns only others, in far-away places beyond the seas,
that it does not touch their sheltered lives at home. No more.
Uri Avnery: Twin
Towers
Americans are largely unaware of the
enormity of the crimes committed by their leaders. But in a representative
democracy, such as allegedly exists in the U.S.A., can the people
deny responsibility for the actions and policies of their government?
How long can they allow their government, whose leaders they elect, to commit
one atrocity after another and at the same time pretend that they
themselves are innocent of any wrong-doing?
Like the Four Riders of the Apocalypse, the unknown
kamikaze rode their giant crafts into the two visible symbols of
American world domination, Wall Street and the Pentagon. ...
They could be practically anybody: ... anybody who rejects the twin
gods of the dollar and the M-16, who hates the stock market and
interventions overseas, who dreams of America for Americans, who does not
want to support the drive for world domination. ... Germans
can remember the fiery holocaust of Dresden with its hundreds of
thousands of peaceful refugees incinerated by the US Air Force.
Japanese will not forget the nuclear holocaust of Hiroshima. the Arab
world still feels the creeping holocaust of Iraq and Palestine.
Russians and East Europeans feel the shame of Belgrade avenged.
... Asians count their dead of Vietnam war, Cambodia bombings, Laos
CIA operations in millions. ...
The Riders could be anybody who lost his house to the bank, who
was squeezed from his work and made permanently unemployed, who was declared
an Untermensch by the new Herrenvolk. ...
America could see this painful strike at her Wall Street and her
Pentagon, as the last call to repent. She should change her
advisers, and build her relations with the world afresh, on equal
footing. Probably she should rein in the domination-obsessed
Jewish supremacist elites of Wall Street and media, part company with
Israeli apartheid. She could become again the universally loved,
rather parochial America of Walt Whitman and Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and
Abe Lincoln.
Israel Shamir:
Orient Express [link expired]
"Repent" is an apt term.
Today the United States of America is morally bankrupt. During the coming
months, or while there is still time, America (and to some extent Europe)
must engage in some deep self-examination. Americans have willfully
ignored the reality that exists beyond their borders (other than sporting
events and vacation destinations), often preferring to "create their
own" so as to avoid acknowledging what they don't wish to see.
Americans have been completely self-absorbed, not knowing and not wanting
to know the effects of their government's policies and actions on
billions of people who live outside the U.S. Those policies and
actions have resulted in millions of deaths through widespread malnutrition
and the persistence of eradicable diseases (such as malaria); in economic,
social and educational impoverishment for the majority of the world's
population; and in the denial of human rights for all those who live under
tyrannical regimes supported by the U.S. That is why the U.S.A. is
so hated. (And insofar as other governments in particular,
the British government have supported, and continue to support, U.S.
policies they too deserve moral condemnation.)
The denial by Israel of the human rights of the
Palestinians, and its decades-long intransigent refusal to address their
legitimate grievances, is just the most visible of the many evils resulting
from morally bankrupt U.S. policies. The U.S. (at the urging
of American Jews and acting through the United Nations at a time when most
Arab states were not yet members) created Israel in 1947 against the wishes of
the people of the Middle East. (The U.S. basically stole the land from
the Palestinians and gave it to the Zionists, and then gave the state of
Israel money currently three billion dollars per year for all the
police and military hardware the tanks, the attack helicopters, the
missiles, the grenades it needed to hold onto that stolen territory and to
steal, or "annex", even more.) Now the U.S. has to deal
with the consequences (and it is interesting to note that just prior to the
WTC attack the U.S. was preparing to announce its support for a Palestinian
state mandated by the U.N. in 1947 anyway much to the displeasure of
Israel).
Another thing which many people find galling
is the shocking hypocrisy and double standards characteristic of the American
attitude to the rest of the world. Why is it "terrorism" when
Palestinians defend themselves against Israeli brutality but what Israel does
is not "terrorism"? How can the U.S. call for the trial of the Khmer
Rouge leaders while denying the right of the recently-established
International Criminal Court to try Americans?
Less visible are the many ways in which U.S.
multinational corporations conspire with the U.S. government (which does its
best to coerce other governments to follow it), the IMF, the World Bank and
other organizations whose undeclared purpose is to make the rich richer and to
maximize their profits regardless of the widespread impoverishment this brings
to many people not only in developing countries but also to those people in
modern industrial societies who do not belong to the moneyed and ruling class.
The facts have long been available to
any U.S. resident who cares to read The Nation,
Z Magazine, or the thirty
or so books of Noam
Chomsky (rarely mentioned in the mainstream media).
I have often thought that if a rational Fascist dictatorship
were to exist, then it would choose the American system. Noam
Chomsky, Language and Responsibility
Or any of the many audiotapes, videos,
CD-ROMS, books and magazine articles exposing the immoralities
of the CIA (a terrorist
organization which richly deserves to be eliminated as soon as possible,
preferably by an act of Congress, with its headquarters at Langley demolished
and the land ploughed over). But no most Americans
couldn't care less about the sufferings of people outside America, being
too busy either trying to survive as wage-slaves in a corporate capitalist
society or (for the more fortunate) constantly scanning their immediate
environment for ways to "enrich" their lives. Now they know
what death, destruction, fear and dread are, what people in other countries
have long known (over long periods) as a result of the actions and
policies of the U.S. government and those of the corrupt regimes it has
installed to serve its purposes.
So how have they responded to this
revelation? Mostly with mindless demands on their government to seek
revenge and further death and destruction, and George W. Bush has
pandered to this desire for revenge, declaring that he wants the alleged
culprit Usama bin Laden "dead or alive". Seems he's
changed his views on revenge since the 2000 Presidential campaign:
... you cannot lead America to a positive tomorrow with
revenge on one's mind. Revenge is so incredibly negative.
George W. Bush, Interview with
the Washington Post, March 23, 2000
The attack on the Twin Towers was not the
work of Arab terrorists but rather was the work of terrorists within the U.S. government
itself who seek to gain control of Central Asian and Middle Eastern oil and to
impose a fascist dictatorship not only upon the United States but also upon
the entire world. What is to be done? The answer is that those
traitors (prominent among whom is the
Bush crime family) must be exposed, their crimes revealed, and they
themselves removed from the positions of power they presently hold.
Furthermore, government in the U.S. must be cleansed of corruption and
restored to conformity with the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights: a restoration of the American Republic. The "anti-terrorist"
legislation of October 2001 (and that of April 1995 and Britain's Terrorism
Act of 2000), intended to facilitate government surveillance and control of
the people so as to stifle free speech and dissent, must be repealed.
The Bill of Rights is a literal and absolute document. The
First Amendment doesn't say you have a right to speak out unless the
government has a 'compelling interest' in censoring the Internet. The Second
Amendment doesn't say you have the right to keep and bear arms until some
madman plants a bomb. The Fourth Amendment doesn't say you have a right to
be secure from search and seizure unless some FBI agent thinks you fit the
profile of a terrorist. The government has no right to interfere with any of
these freedoms under any circumstances.

America must also end its long history of
the practice of genocide,
honor the principles expressed in the United
Nations Universal Declaration on Human Rights, and cease its ruthless
exploitation (mainly for the benefit of a capitalist ruling class)
of the world's economic resources and the world's people.
This means that better-off Americans will have to give up some of the luxuries
they've taken for granted, but perhaps they can make the sacrifice more
readily if they remind themselves that nearly half the people on this planet
(2.8 billion) currently live (if you can call it living) on less than
US$2 a day.
Examples of genocide within U.S. history are common enough
not to be considered remarkable or even genocide. Among historic crimes
which are not commonly called genocide: the destruction of North American
Indian peoples, the liquidation of six million Brazilian Indians through the
policies of multi-national corporations, effects of U.S. economic and
military policies on the poor throughout the Americas, the Euro-American
slave trade and subsequent treatment of black Americans, and the fate of the
American poor. ...
Corporate capitalism may simply be legitimized genocide by
economic means. ... Those without ethics no longer sell beads to
the indians, but rockets and missiles to "underdeveloped
countries," where the arms kill off as many poor people as possible.
J. B. Gerald: Is
the U.S. Really a Signatory to the U.N. Convention on Genocide?
If the people of the United States do not
themselves cleanse their government of its current corruption, and return the
nation to conformity with the principles of a republic, upon which it was
founded, then disaster will ensue: Either a global fascist dictatorship
will result or the U.S. government will be destroyed by the cooperation
of the other countries of the world (using whatever means necessary, military
and non-military). Either of these possibilities could produce such
damage on a global scale that the survival of the human species would be in
doubt.
Those who think that the description of the
U.S.A. as "a terrorist state" is too extreme should inform
themselves of the nature of the American CIA, which is an
international terrorist organization. The CIA implements the
policies of the President of the United States. The CIA carries out
unofficial U.S. government policy. This means that the United States is a
terrorist state.
On October 12th [2001], a couple of days after the bombing
[of Afghanistan] started, [George W.] Bush publicly announced to the Afghan
people that we will continue to bomb you, unless your leadership turns over
to us the people who we suspect of carrying out crimes, although we refuse
to give you any evidence. ...
Notice that is a textbook illustration of international
terrorism, by the US official definition. That is the use of the threat of
force or violence, in this case extreme violence, to obtain political ends
through intimidation, fear and so on. That's the official definition, a
textbook illustration of it.
Three weeks later, by the end of October, the war aims had
changed. They were first announced as far as I can find out, by the British
Defense Minister, Sir Admiral Boyce. Admiral Boyce informed the Afghan
population that we will continue to bomb you until you change your
leadership. Well, that's an even more dramatic illustration of international
terrorism ...
Noam Chomsky: Is
the U.S. a Terrorist State?
And now in September 2002 the United States
is threatening to bomb Iraq (no doubt killing many thousands of civilians
and destroying much of the civilian infrastructure as it did in 1991) unless
its leader resigns his position or the people of Iraq somehow manage to remove
him (and allow a regime to be installed which is acceptable to Washington). Is
it not glaringly obvious that the U.S.A. is a terrorist state?
Several thousand civilians died in the collapse
of the WTC towers, and hundreds of military personnel were killed in the attack
on the Pentagon though the numbers are small compared to
- the hundreds of thousands of civilians
incinerated in the U.S. fire bombings of Hamburg, Dresden and Tokyo,
and in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki;
- the two to five million post-World-War-II
refugees from the Soviet Union who were forcibly returned to Stalin, to
face either immediate execution or a slow death in the Gulag, on the
orders of Roosevelt and Eisenhower in Operation
Keelhaul;
- the millions of civilians who
died from hunger and disease as a result of U.S.-instigated mass
starvation of Germans during 1945-1950 under the Morgenthau Plan;
- the millions of Native Americans
killed by soldiers and occupiers of their land in the 19th Century or allowed
to starve to death by the U.S. government in the 20th (a clear case
of genocide);
- the thousands of Iranians tortured and
murdered by SAVAK, the secret police of the regime installed in 1953 as a
result of a CIA-led coup which overthrew the popular Iranian Premier,
Mossadegh);
- the murder of between 20,000 and 40,000
Vietnamese from 1968 to 1971 by the CIA in their political assassination
program Operation
Phoenix;
- the million or so Vietnamese,
Laotians and Cambodians killed by the American military in the 1960s
and 70s whilst defending their countries from American domination (or
simply because they happened to be where the Americans carried out their
carpet bombings);
- the tens of thousands of civilians
who were tortured and murdered by CIA-installed dictatorships in Central
and South America;
- the 200,000 people (all civilians)
killed (using U.S.-supplied equipment) as a result of Indonesia's invasion
of East Timor in 1975 for which prior approval was given by the then U.S.
President and U.S. Secretary of State (Ford and Kissinger);
- the six million Brazilian Indians who
have died as a result of the policies of multinational corporations;
- the 10,000 to 20,000 people, mostly civilians,
killed in the U.S.-supported 1982 invasion of Lebanon by Israel;
- the 300,000 Iranians killed in the
Iran/Iraq war, which was started by Iraq at the instigation of the U.S.
(which supplied Iraq with the weapons it used);
- the 180,000 civilians killed
by Reagan's CIA-cocaine-funded Contras in Nicaragua and El Salvador in the
1980s;
- the 6,000 (perhaps as many as
20,000) Iraqi civilians killed during the 41 days and nights of
bombing by the British and the Americans in 1991 (during which time the
civilian infrastructure was targeted, a war crime), including:
- the 500 civilians (including whole
families) burnt alive and turned into cinders when American missiles
penetrated a shelter in Baghdad;
- the tens of thousands of Iraqi
conscripts slaughtered on the "Highway of Death" by U.S.
Navy pilots during their attempted retreat from Kuwait in 1991 (another
war crime because the soldiers killed were not in a combat
situation);
- the tens of thousands of Kurdish civilians
killed in South-East Turkey during the 1990s by Turkish government
soldiers using weapons and equipment supplied to them by the U.S. (which
knew exactly what they were doing with them);
- the tens of thousands of civilians
in Sudan who have died due to the absence of medicines resulting from the
destruction of the Sudanese pharmaceutical plant by American cruise
missiles in 1998 and from the economic sanctions imposed on Sudan;
- the one to two million Iraqi civilians,
two-thirds of them children, who have died in the last ten years as a
result of the effects of the hundreds of tons of cancer-causing depleted
uranium left over from the million or so exploded rounds of DU
ammunition used in attacks by American warplanes in the 1991
American/British 6-week terrorist campaign against Iraq and from the
subsequent U.S./British-imposed economic
blockade and criminally punitive sanctions (not to mention those
killed by the bombing raids
which occur every week);
- and the tens of millions of civilians
who die every year in Third World countries from starvation, disease and
despair because their countries are mired in poverty and corruption as a
result of economic exploitation by American multinationals acting with the
support and approval of the American government.
To those in the higher echelons of a
government of a terrorist state which, by means of its military and its CIA,
has killed tens of millions of civilians in foreign countries, the killing of
a few thousand of their fellow citizens is simply another exercise in mass
murder, needing a little more planning, but not much different to what they
and their predecessors have done before.
When asked about the number of Iraqis who died in the war
[the 1991 Gulf Slaughter], US General Colin Powell [current US Secretary
of State] replied: "It's really not a number I'm terribly
interested in."

12. The Corruption of the
Republic
The BBC's George Arney reported on September 18,
2001, that Niaz Naik, a former Pakistani Foreign Secretary, had stated
that he had been informed by senior American officials at a Berlin
UN-sponsored international contact group on Afghanistan in mid-July that
Pentagon plans for a military assault on Afghanistan had already been
completed. (This was the meeting in which a U.S. representative
threatened the Taliban representatives with a
carpet of bombs.) The assault on Afghanistan had to be carried
out before snow begins to fall in the mountain passes, which is around
mid-October and, indeed, it began on October 7th, 2001. The timing
of the WTC attack was thus very convenient.
The Pentagon was clearly delighted at the
opportunity of trying out all the new-fangled lethal technology it had
developed in the ten years since it last demonstrated its capability for mass
slaughter in its 1991 terrorist campaign in the Gulf (this was in part a demonstration
of its weapons systems for the benefit of potential purchasers, and the same
happened again in Afghanistan).
The AC-130 [gunship, which began to be deployed in
Afghanistan in mid-October 2001] is one of the most lethal American
warplanes in terms of its ability to chew up ground forces. ... [and]
because of its fearsome firepower. It circles a target
and saturates it with automatic fire from three computer-controlled guns,
including cannon and heavy machine guns capable of firing 1,800 rounds a minute.
The plane's guns can cover an area the size of eight football fields
with a round in each square yard ... [and] has banks of electronic
sensors on board capable of detecting ground targets normally elusive
from the air. International Herald Tribune, October 17,
2001, p.1
It was an AC-130 gunship which attacked a
compound in the village of Kakarak, Afghanistan, on July 1st, 2002, resulting
in the deaths of 48 people, mainly women and children, and the injury of
another 117. Such weapons are just the latest in a long line of devices
invented in the United States for efficient slaughter on a large scale, from
the Gatling gun (invented about 1862) to the atomic bomb (the two
bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki caused more than a quarter of a million
deaths and injuries) to the hydrogen bomb (whose capability to cause
death and destruction is almost unlimited) to cluster bombs and fuel-air
bombs.
The [fuel-air] bomb works thus: there are two detonations;
the first spreads a fine mist of fuel into the air, turning the area [about
the size of a football field] into an explosive mix of vast proportion;
then a second detonation ignites the mixture, causing an awesome explosion.
The explosion is about the most powerful "conventional" explosion
we know of. At a pressure shock of up to 200 pounds per square inch (PSI),
people in its detonation zone are often killed by the sheer compression of
the air around them. Human beings can typically withstand up to about
a 40-PSI shock. The bomb sucks oxygen out of the air, and can
apparently even suck the lungs out through the mouths of people unfortunate
enough to be in the detonation zone. Our military used it on helpless
people [in the 1991 Gulf Slaughter]. Wade Frazier: My Experiences
in America Regarding Iraq
A soldier who is prepared to risk his own
life when attempting to kill enemy soldiers is a brave man. Such a man is not
to be despised. But the design, development, deployment and use of this
sort of highly efficient lethal technology is done, not by brave men, but by
cowards by those willing to slaughter other humans only if their own lives
are not placed in danger. It can only be done by people who are
either mentally ill, morally depraved or too stupid to understand
what they are really doing. And as well they do it for the money so they
are basically hired killers.
In early November the Americans began to
drop "daisy cutter" bombs on troops in the Taleban front lines.
This "daisy cutter" is the fuel-air bomb as described above.
Only a nation sunk in depravity could descend to the use of such diabolic
devices against human beings, soldiers or otherwise. The United States
thus shows itself to be depraved and barbaric. And any nation
which, by providing military support to the American war machine, condones
this barbarity forfeits (as the United States has already forfeited) any
claim it might have to be regarded as a civilized nation in the eyes of the
world. A barbarian nation drags its allies into barbarity also.
Under the leadership of Adolf Hitler the
German nation sank also into barbarity (from which it emerged after 1945).
One of the defining characteristics of the German Nazis was their
willingness to use violence to achieve their ends not just their
willingness to use violence but their willingness to use unlimited violence.
As for them, for those who now control the American military juggernaut,
there is no limit to the degree of death and destruction that they are
willing to use to achieve their ends. This is one reason why they may
properly, truly and without exaggeration, be described as "Nazis".
Are these the sort of "leaders"
that the American people really want? These calculating, cold-blooded,
racist mass murderers? Are they representative of what America
stands for?
Perhaps so. The worship of violence,
death and destruction has in recent decades become a defining characteristic
of contemporary American society. It appears in its television shows,
its video games and its Hollywood-produced films. It manifests
itself in the willingness of its multinational corporations to rape the Earth.
America is by far the largest manufacturer and merchandiser on the
planet of lethal hardware, of military and police equipment, of machines for
the production of death and destruction. This is a sign of a profoundly
sick society.
This state of affairs has not come about
because the American people are inherently violent and psychopathic. As
with all social matters of this scale the historical causes are complex.
But one of them is the dominance in American society of corporate capitalism,
which elevates shareholder profit above all other concerns, and which has
created the social conditions where evil men can attain great power and
influence, both within government and without. The American people tend
to trust their government and their political leaders (though there have
always been those who could recognize corruption in individual politicians
when they saw it). This trust is given partly because of the
indoctrination Americans receive as children in school but also partly because
their government was in fact founded on republican principles designed to
ensure their liberty and happiness. But this trust has now been
betrayed. When evil men become leaders of the nation this corruption
percolates down and sickens all levels of society.
Since the end of World War II, and partly
due to the absorption then into the American "security and
intelligence" agencies of so many
former Nazis (Gestapo, SS and Wehrmacht intelligence), the entire
political structure of the United States has been infected with evil.
There have, of course, been men of outstanding moral stature, for
example, Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan Jr, U.S. Senator
George Mitchell and President John F. Kennedy (whose assassination in
1963, probably an operation involving the
CIA, Mossad and the Mafia, was the first coup d'etat in
the history of the U.S., the second being the coup which began with the 2000
usurpation of the Presidency by George W. Bush, a coup which is still
being implemented in 2002 under cover of the "War on Terrorism" and
has not yet been completed).
But there have also been corrupt Supreme
Court Justices (Rehnquist and Scalia), primitive, blatantly racist U.S. Senators
(Jesse Helms), a transvestite head of the FBI who was blackmailed
into ignoring organized crime (J. Edgar Hoover), a scumbag President
(Nixon) succeeded by a series of traitors possessing only contempt for the
U.S. Constitution (Reagan, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr.), along with a
multitude of elected and unelected officials (including many judges at all
levels) whose only concern was and has been their own power, prestige and
material wealth, who were and are ready to support genocidal foreign and
domestic policies (targeted at the expendable and the non-white both
within and without the U.S.) as long as there is something in
it for them.
But we should not blame only the leaders and
official functionaries, corrupt and in same cases evil, though they may be.
It is not fundamentally the government which is at fault it is
the mass of the people themselves, who seem to lack the moral sense
required of a people who are to restrain their government from descent into
depravity.
Many Americans have consciously prostituted themselves,
realizing that the CIA and gang are creating immense death and destruction
throughout the world, but as long as they enjoy cheap gasoline, coffee,
bananas and tennis shoes, they think it is great. ... Many in
the upper classes think that the CIA, FBI and NSA are great institutions,
keeping the chips flowing their way. Those who condone bloodshed and
exploitation in the service of their lifestyles, often coming up with highly
strained rationales, will create future circumstances where they will find
the shoe on the other foot. They will experience what living like a
slave is like, barely surviving while their masters live in opulence.
Wade Frazier: Investigating
Possible Conspiracies
Actually democracy itself, when implemented
so that every adult (however stupid) is given a right to vote, is inherently
flawed, since it inevitably becomes the tyranny
of the majority. As noted 200 years ago by A. F Tyler,
democracy leads to the corruption of the financial system of any nation,
because voters (in particular the stupid and self-interested ones) sooner or
later discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public
treasury, by electing whichever politician promises to give it to them.
In order to fulfill that promise (to some extent at least, so as
to be re-elected) that politician must connive in the acquisition of
government wealth by any means available, which in the case of the United
States, is mainly the economic exploitation of third-world countries and of
the economic resources of the planet (partly to manufacture weapons of
death to sell to those and other third-world countries for financial gain).
A U.S. politician remains in
office basically by stealing (together with his fellow politicians) from the
rest of the world to finance the comparatively comfortable (and generally
self-indulgent) lifestyle of the middle-class American voter (whether Democrat
or Republican). George W. Bush's "War on Terrorism" is a campaign,
not against terrorism, but to gain total control of the Earth's economic
resources so as to maintain this system of global theft. Without
continued capitalist exploitation of the planet's resources the American
social and financial system will collapse. But if it persists then we
face global tyranny and probably global eco-death once the fifty billion
barrels of oil in the Caspian Basin (following a similar amount from
already-exploited resources) has been extracted, refined and burned, with the
major risk of producing irreversible atmospheric heating.
Contrary to the widespread belief among
Americans that the U.S. is a constitutional democracy, the words
"democracy" and "democratic" are nowhere used in the U.S. Constitution.
The Constitution of the United States does not establish a democracy; it
establishes a republic.
... democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and
contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the
rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they
have been violent in their deaths. James Madison, as quoted in
Robert Welch's Republics
and Democracies
Democracy in the United States (in which the
votes of dim-witted uneducated manipulable illiterates count as much as the
votes of those of above-average intelligence who can understand what is best
for society as a whole and not just for themselves) has finally produced a
tyranny, with power concentrated in the executive branch of the U.S. federal
government and denied to the states and to the people. The other
two branches of the government, the legislative and the judicial, have largely
become willing tools of the executive, exactly as happened in Nazi Germany in
the 1930s. Everything the German Nazis did was legal, either because
they appointed corrupt judges to interpret existing law as the Nazis wished or
because they enacted laws to allow them to do what they wished to do (as has
again occurred in the U.S. Congress with the October 2001 passage of the
grossly misnamed "Patriot Act" those congresscritters really
have a perverted sense of humor).
The evils we experience flow from the excess of democracy.
The people do not want [that is, do not lack] virtue; but are the dupes
of pretended patriots. Elbridge Gerry, delegate to the 1787
Constitutional Convention, as quoted in Republics
and Democracies
But actually the executive branch no longer
requires a compliant legislative branch to enact laws because it can do so
itself, by means of executive orders. The President can stipulate
that something is the case and if no-one in Congress raises any objection
within a few weeks (and no congresscritter has ever raised any objection to
the thousands of executive orders which have been promulgated) then whatever
the President has stipulated becomes part of the law of the land. This
mechanism of executive orders provides near-dictatorial powers to the U.S.
President.
And George W. Bush has now issued an
executive order giving him the legal right to order the killing of anyone
deemed to be a terrorist (Bush Gives
Green Light to CIA for Assassination of Named Terrorists).
Interestingly, it seems that although the executive order is presented as
applying to foreign "terrorists" there is nothing to prevent it from
being applied to domestic "terrorists". A
"terrorist" is a "terrorist" whether he is within the
borders of the U.S. or beyond. And who's to say a "terrorist"
cannot be an American citizen? Thus George W. Bush has now given
himself the legal right to order the killing of any American citizen that he
chooses to label as a "terrorist". The American Republic has
indeed fallen upon grim times.
A tyrannical executive branch of the U.S.
federal government, arrogating all rights and powers to itself in blatant
disregard of the 9th and
10th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, has now embarked on a
war of aggression against the rest of the world (particularly against any
countries whose actions may threaten American economic dominance), having
cynically duped the American people (by carrying out a fake terrorist
attack which took the lives of thousands of them and then blaming "Arab
terrorists") into believing that this is a just and moral war. It
is an administration that is dominated by men who have no moral scruples, who
seek only to increase their own power and wealth, who have only contempt for
the principles upon which the United States was founded, who are in fact
traitors to the American Republic, and who deserve to receive the penalty
for treason and that soon, before they succeed in extending the tyranny
which now exists in the United States to encompass the entire planet (or else
produce by their actions the enormous death and destruction resulting from
another world war, with large-scale use of chemical, biological and nuclear
weapons).
13. Questions About the Events
of September 11th
There are some who wish to dismiss this webpage
as 'conspiracy stuff', and pour scorn upon its author. Such people never offer
answers to the following questions. As Gore Vidal has recently stated (The
Enemy Within), "Apparently 'conspiracy stuff' is now shorthand for
unspeakable truth."
- In view of the $30 billion given annually
to the FBI, the CIA and other U.S. "intelligence" agencies, why were
these agencies completely unaware (or so they say) of this conspiracy
before they saw its results on CNN? And why has this (apparent)
incompetence been rewarded with yet more billions?
- The four AA
and UA jets took off with an average occupancy rate of 27%. That four
airliners from major airlines leaving from the East Coast around 9 a.m.
on a weekday for the West Coast would all have such low occupancy rates is
highly unlikely. Was the booking system tampered with in order to ensure
such low occupancy rates (so that the passengers from all four planes
could eventually be loaded onto UA Flight 93 for elimination)?
- Why would hijackers intending to crash
planes into the WTC hijack jets taking off from Boston rather than from
someplace closer such as JFK Airport in New York?
- Why would hijackers intending to crash a
plane into the Pentagon hijack a jet from Dulles Airport near Washington DC
(and thus close to the Pentagon) and allow it to fly for 40 minutes away
from its target before turning around and flying another 40 minutes back
to it (knowing that interception by military jets during this time
would in normal circumstances have been very likely)?
- AA Flight 77 (the jet which
allegedly crashed into the Pentagon) was allegedly hijacked at about 9 a.m.,
at about the same time as the Twin Tower impacts, and its change of course
back toward Washington, or its transponder having been turned off,
would have been known to flight controllers, who were aware of the
impacts; why, then, were U.S. Air Force jets not scrambled to
intercept AA Flight 77 forty minutes before it (allegedly) hit
the Pentagon, when there were U.S. Air Force jets at seven locations
normally ready to take off at ten minutes' notice?
- Why are the FAA, the FBI, the CIA and the
NSA refusing
to release any transcripts of communications from the four doomed
Boeings on September 11th or any records at all relating to signals of any
form transmitted by those jets?
- Where are the black boxes (the flight
data recorders and the cockpit voice recorders) from all four jets? These
black boxes are designed to survive any crash. Have they been examined by
experts from the National Transportation Safety Board, the agency which
normally investigates airplane crashes? If not, why not?
- In particular, what is on the FDR and the
CVR from UA Flight 93, the jet which crashed in Pennsylvania? Why,
exactly, did this jet crash? Was it shot down?
- "Workers at Indian Lake Marina [six
miles from the place where UA Flight 93 crashed] said that they saw a
cloud of confetti-like debris descend on the lake and nearby farms minutes
after hearing the explosion that signaled the crash [or the attack on
the jet] at 10:06 a.m. Tuesday." (Pittsburg Post Gazette, Sept. 13,
2001) If this plane was not shot down, but rather remained
intact until hitting the ground, how could this debris travel the six
miles from the crash site to Indian Lake in minutes when there was
only a 10 mph wind blowing? (For wind-borne
debris to travel six miles in, say, six minutes requires a 60 mph
wind.)
- Were the conversations between the pilots
of the other three hijacked planes and air traffic controllers recorded?
If so, what did
those pilots say? Were those recordings siezed by the FBI?
Were (alleged) transcripts given by the FBI to the mainstream media? Were
those transcripts fabricated to provide false evidence in support
of the "Arab hijackers" story?
- Does the
Fireman's Video show that the plane which hit the North Tower did not
have engines attached to the wings and thus was not a Boeing 767?
Does it reveal that missiles were fired from this plane just before it
hit?
- Since no public TV cameras were trained
on the North Tower at the time of impact, what was the source of the
transmission of the North Tower impact which George
W. Bush says he saw before he went into the classroom in Florida?
Why did he do nothing (except continue listening to a little girl's story
about a goat) for half an hour after he was informed that the second
jet hit the South Tower (and that America was "under attack")?
Did Bush have prior knowledge of the WTC attack?
- Considering that all persons on board all
four planes died, how did the FBI come up so quickly with a list of names
of the alleged nineteen Arab hijackers including aliases used by
fourteen of them, in some cases seven aliases (see the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution, 2001-09-27)? Why were there no
Arab names on the passenger lists at all? Did the FBI prepare in advance
a list of the names (and aliases) of the (alleged) "Arab
hijackers" on those flights?
- Why did the South Tower collapse first,
56 minutes after it was hit, rather than the North Tower (which was
hit first and collapsed 1 hour and 44 minutes after being hit),
even though the fire in the North Tower (the alleged cause of
the collapse) was more intense?
- If the outer perimeter walls of the Twin
Towers were connected to the central cores only by lightweight trusses,
how was wind load on the towers transmitted to the central core (as it
must have been because the floors did not buckle in a strong wind)?
- What exactly was the nature of the
structural connections between the outer perimeter wall and the central
core of the two towers? Is it not false that this consisted only of
lightweight flimsy trusses? Is it not the case that the connection was
actually made with 32,000 tons of steel beams?
- Why are the architect's plans of the Twin
Towers not publicly available?
- Would jet fuel burning in an enclosed
space (with little oxygen available for combustion) actually produce
temperatures high enough (1538°C, i.e. 2800°F) to melt
massive steel beams (and all the steel beams, since steel conducts
heat efficiently) enclosed in concrete in just 56 minutes? If
so, wouldn't the Twin Towers have buckled and bent, and toppled over onto
the surrounding buildings in the Lower Manhattan financial district,
rather than collapsing neatly upon themselves in the manner of a
controlled demolition?
- Were the Twin Towers re-engineered in the
mid-1990s to make possible a collapse-on-demand if that were judged
necessary? Was FEMA aware of this? Do blueprints of the Twin Towers in the
possession of the past owners reveal any evidence of this?
- Why were such huge quantities of ash and
dust produced? How could fire convert concrete into dust? Has the
ash been chemically analysed to determine what it really is and how it
might have been produced?
- Were any tests done on the debris for the
presence of radioactivity?
- Is it not the case that the Twin Towers
collapsed, not because of airliner impacts and fires, but because they
were expertly demolished (even though we do not yet know exactly how
this was accomplished)?
- Who stood to benefit from the
complete destruction of the Twin Towers?
- What was the actual size of the entrance
hole made by the object which hit the Pentagon? Is it not the case that
photographic evidence reveals that it was in fact at most just a few
meters in diameter, much too small to have been made by a Boeing 757 jet,
but just the right size for a missile?
- Why were no aircraft fragments,
identifiable as coming from a Boeing 757, recovered from the Pentagon
crash site?
- Why were no remains of the approximately
sixty passengers and crew on the jet which allegedly hit the Pentagon
returned to relatives for burial?
- Why was the debris from the collapsed
Twin Towers removed from the site with no forensic examination? Why was
almost all of it sold
to scrap merchants and shipped abroad where it would not be available
for scientific examination?
- In September the
Securities and Exchange Commission initiated an inquiry to establish
who benefited from the unusually high numbers of put options purchased
prior to September 11 for shares in companies whose stock prices
subsequently plummeted, on the supposition that whoever was behind the
hijacking was also behind most of the purchases of these put options.
Why has this inquiry stalled? Why have those who benefited from the
purchases of these put options not been identified (or at least, not
publicly)?
- Is it not the case that this atrocity was
planned and carried out by elements at high levels of command in the U.S. Air
Force, the CIA, the Justice Department and FEMA (possibly with
the involvement of well-placed civilians outside the government), acting
under orders from, or with the approval of, high officials within the U.S.
Administration, and that those same elements are now directing a
propaganda campaign against the American people to justify a war of
aggression in Asia and the Middle East aimed at controlling the oil and
mineral wealth of those regions?
- Why is the U.S. mainstream media ignoring
questions like these?
14. The American Drive for
World Domination
In August 2002 George W. Bush (whose public
utterances have finally demonstrated that he is mentally deranged, unhinged,
demented and a lunatic) and his crony Tony Blair were talking up their
intention to attack Iraq, going on like a broken record about its
"efforts to create weapons of mass destruction", hypocritically
ignoring the facts that (a) it is the U.S. which leads the world in the
manufacture and use of such weapons (Germany and Japan 1945, Vietnam
and Cambodia 1960s and 70s, Iraq 1991, Kosovo 1999 and Afghanistan 2001
not all weapons of mass destruction are nuclear) and (b) it is Israel,
America's client state in the Middle East, which already possesses
"weapons of mass destruction" and is entirely willing to use them
against its neighbours.
Iraq's immediate neighbours do not consider
Iraq a military threat, so why should the U.S.? Iraq's missiles can
reach parts of Europe and Russia but neither Europe nor Russia considers Iraq
a threat; indeed, in mid-2002 Russia signed a multi-billion dollar trade deal
with Iraq. Only Israel considers Iraq a threat (consistent with the pan-Arab
hatred of Israel for its brutality toward the Palestinians), and in the
U.S. Congress and in the Bush Administration what Israel wants Israel
gets.
As British elder statesman Tony Benn
has said, the American desire for a war against Iraq is based not on any
concern over what weapons Saddam Hussein might possess but springs from the
desire of the U.S. to grab Iraq's oil.
'Crude
lies' used to justify war on Saddam
Bush's "War on Terrorism" is not
about terrorism (except insofar as staged terrorist acts are an important part
of the propaganda campaign) it's about control of all of the
Earth's economic resources, not just oil.
The United States government wants economic
control and exploitation of the vast oil and mineral wealth of Central Asia,
and if a pan-Asian war is required to achieve this then so be it.
American foreign policy makers believe that American military power will
enable them to win such a war and that (a) a war would enable them
to remain in power indefinitely (elections will become a thing of the past or
will be rigged), (b) would be good for American (and British) weapons
manufacturers and (c) would avert the looming economic depression in the U.S.
(since, many believe, it worked before in the 1930s military build-up to World
War II).
He [Bush] wants to divert attention from his domestic
problems. It's a classic tactic. It was used by Hitler. German
Justice Minister Herta Dδubler-Gmelin, 2002-09-20. (For other
similarities see Perils
of Cocaine Abuse.)
If Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are allowed to
proceed with their plan to attack Iraq it will lead to the overthrow of
those Arab regimes whose leaders are in the pay of the Americans (in
the case of Egypt, to the extent of a good chunk of the two
billion dollars per year military "aid"). Will Middle
Eastern oil continue to flow to the Western industrial societies and to
Japan and to China? What might be the consequences for those
countries (especially as regards feeding their people and keeping them warm in
winter) if oil supplies are cut off for an extended period of time?
World War III will involve the nuclear- and CBW-armed countries of India,
Pakistan, Russia, China, Britain, France, Israel and the U.S. itself, and it
will mean that millions of soldiers and civilians will die: shot, burnt,
blasted, asphyxiated, crushed, incinerated, poisoned. Nor will all
these civilians be Asian; this war will also extend to the U.S. mainland and
probably to Europe, despite what the Pentagon planners intend. Violence
will lead to more violence, and wars will escalate (remember
"escalation"?) until eventually nuclear weapons are used first
"low-yield", later the big ones, in the megaton range, whose
detonations (if there are enough of them, and we don't know how many will be
used) will produce high levels of radiation in the atmosphere of (mainly) the
Northern Hemisphere, leading to millions of cases of cancer among the
populations of Western countries.
And what if the U.S. warmongers achieve
their aims of gaining control of all sources of oil in Asia (and the Middle
East and North Africa), and of the mineral wealth of Central Asia? Will
the Europeans, Japanese and Chinese feel secure in the knowledge that the
United States will surely sell them whatever they need to maintain their
industrial economies and their military capabilities? (The Russian
and Chinese leaders surely understand the long-term threat to their national
sovereignty, and are acting accordingly.)
Or is there something even more sinister
going on? Is the goal "at the highest level" the extinction
of the human species? If so, will the American people
prove to be "useful idiots" facilitating the attainment of this
goal? Or, on the contrary, might they yet awaken from
their ignorance, their stupidity, their greed and their egoism, take a hard
look at themselves, understand what their lying, vicious, rapacious,
hypocritical government is doing in the name of "freedom and
democracy", and rein in and reform that government, reconstitute
their nation as a republic as the authors of the Constitution intended, and
save the world, as they believe (or used to believe) is their
manifest destiny?
After September 11th revenge was uppermost
in the minds of most Americans and few of them were inclined to look at what
brought this catastrophe to their land. Were they to look for the causes
of the events of September 11th they might eventually be led to ask themselves
whether their government is not so hypocritical, vicious, ignoble and immoral,
so much the opposite of that ideal of government expressed in the U.S.
Declaration of Independence and the U.S.
Constitution, that it must be reformed completely, with most of its
current office holders, in particular, the President, the Vice-President,
the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary, the Secretary of State, the
Attorney-General and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff removed in
disgrace, before they can again think of themselves as Americans with any
degree of self-respect.
Their mindlessness is willful, and at least partly
conscious. They do not know what is really happening because they do
not want to know what is really happening. Why? As far as I have
seen, it is because they benefit from the current arrangement (at least
in the short term), and denial helps protect their flickering
consciences. ...
All those institutions that we have given our power away to
corporations, governments, churches, etc. have largely enslaved us with
our own power. The only path to true freedom is by reclaiming our
power, responsibility and sovereignty, and doing it lovingly.
Wade Frazier: The Things
We Do Not Want To Know
For most of their short history Americans
have been adolescents. Brash, ignorant, naοve, overconfident and infatuated
with power. And, like adolescents, they have never understood or believed in
evil. As a result of September 11th they have lost their innocence. They now
know what evil is, at first hand. But many Americans (encouraged by their
warmongering politicians) insist on projecting that evil "out there"
onto Arabs and Muslims and insist on hating "them". But the
evil of September 11th did not have its origin "out there". It is an
evil at the heart, not of America, but of a corrupt and depraved American
government. If and when Americans acknowledge this (before their warmongering
politicians take them into World War III) then maybe (just maybe) they
can save their country, themselves and the rest of the world. But this is
probably too much to expect from a country in which 49% of the voters (or of
those whose votes were counted anyway) in the 2000 Presidential election were
so stupid as to vote for someone who even then was obviously a
moron who cared only for himself and his cronies in big business (and
secretly for his pals in Skull
and Bones).
Have America's geopolitical strategists really thought through the
consequences of an attack on Iraq and of what they plan thereafter?
Perhaps they have, and see advantage to themselves in the form
of the eventual realization of the goal that the Nazis set for themselves in
the 1930s: a global fascist dictatorship achieved by the use of
military force, and the consequent enslavement of all humans (with those unfit
to work being eliminated).
We ordinary Americans are being led, step by step, down the
road to a dictatorship more evil and all-pervasive than that of the late
Adolph Hitler and the Nazi Party of the German aristocracy. Sherman H. Skolnick:
The Overthrow of
the American Republic, Part 2
Writing to your Congresscritter will do no
good (they do not represent the interests of the people and in any case are
almost all spineless traitors). Political
action within the system might (just possibly) have some effect.
Demonstrating against America's criminal foreign policy especially if you
do this in the U.S. will get you tear gas and rubber bullets (which could
be useful if this appears on the news night after night, as the Vietnam War
did in the 1960s).
To the American aristocracy, the true enemy has always been,
and still is, the American common people. Sherman H. Skolnick:
The Overthrow of
the American Republic, Part 14
Although this section is entitled "The American Drive
for World Domination" those who are planning and implementing this drive
are not all American. Those at the top of the human chain of command are to be
found in the the political and corporate elites of the United States, the
United Kingdom, and the European Union also, as it happens, the very
parties orchestrating the global war on terrorism. Chaim Kupferberg, The
Propaganda Preparation for 9/11
The machinery of the New World Order is
already in place. The Office of Homeland Security (and its Stasi-plan for
making 5% of the American population informers upon the rest) is only the most
public manifestation of it. Have you heard of the Executive
Secretariat and Phase III?
How about the Doctrine
for Joint Urban Operations and the DSB
Summer Study on Special Operations and Joint Forces in Support of Countering
Terrorism? No? Well, you're not supposed to. While most of the
citizens of the United States remain as ignorant as sheep (mostly because they
don't wish to know) their cryptofascist government is hell-bent on taking
control of the entire globe by the use of its military forces. All countries,
if they are not already, will soon be under the threat of annihilation by a
supposedly invincible American military superiority. At the same time the U.S.
secret government, the prototype for a global dictatorship, will be extending
its Satanic legal system (including civil
asset forfeiture laws) to the entire world either by forcing all other
countries to sign "treaties" committing them to (in effect)
submit themselves to American legal jurisdiction or by ensuring the dominance
of fascist elements within other governments. And with control of Middle
Eastern and Central Asian oil (if the U.S. achieves this) all other countries
will have to submit to American demands or see their people go hungry (like
much of the world already does) and cold in winter (with rioting in the
streets put down by the usual brutal methods). Welcome to the New World Order
what they used to call "The Thousand-Year Reich".
Like it? No? Then what are you going to do about it?
Their world government is based on lies, supported by the
power of money; but now the lies are beginning to unravel. It is time to
withdraw our support, challenge their legitimacy, and push their lies toward
collapse. There is no Constitution. There is no Bill of Rights. There is no
legitimate government. There is no America left to restore. We shall
welcome the ensuing chaos as a return of liberty. Grugyn

Postscript
More than two years after September 11th 2001
there has still not been any official investigation which provides answers to
the many unanswered
questions concerning the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon (in contrast
to the case of the Columbia space shuttle disaster, where three official
investigations were initiated within days and within months we knew what
actually happened and who was responsible). The President and Vice-President
of the United States are known to have actively discouraged any such
investigation, strongly indicating that they have something to hide, as surely
they do, namely, their complicity in the attacks of September 11th.
During ten months of probing by a joint House-Senate
investigation headed by former prosecutor and Pentagon inspector general
Eleanor Hill, staff members reviewed classified documents made available by
U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies. They also interviewed field
agents, spooks, and senior government officials. The Senate and House
intelligence committees approved the report, but the White House insisted
that it be "scrubbed" before being released that is, cleansed
of any hint that the attack might have been prevented. The
Final Secret of 9/11
Instead of an open inquiry into what
happened, and how the U.S. Air Force (with jet fighters ready to scramble just
ten minutes from Washington) failed to prevent three allegedly hijacked
commercial jetliners from crashing into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon,
there is a growing chorus of protest that we have been fed blatant lies by the
Bush administration assisted by the mainstream media. The so-called 9/11
Independent Commission is a fraud which will conceal the truth, not reveal it
(see Ex-Senator
Bob Kerrey appointed to 9/11 panel and 9/11
could have been prevented, 9/11 chair admits). The major outlines of the
truth can already be known by anyone whose mind is not closed and who wishes
to know. Eventually it will be generally recognized and acknowledged, and
those responsible will be revealed. George W. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld,
Rice, Ashcroft, Myers, Eberhardt, Powell, Perle, Wolfowitz, Feith and the
others know it, which is one reason why they launched their war
on Iraq before the citizens of the U.S. (at least, those few who care
about what America has traditionally stood for) could bring these traitors to
justice for their crimes and thereby help to defeat the attempt to transform
the U.S., and the rest of the world, into a police state and the Earth
into a prison planet.
At stake is the future of not only the nation, but the whole
world, and all our futures, and if we the people don't take some sort of
constructive action about the lies that continue to be told in this matter,
then our future is very, very dark. John Kaminski, Why I Write
This web page was written by Peter Meyer
from September 2001 to November 2003. The earliest version, entitled The
World Trade Center Bombing, and stating that "the [WTC] towers
collapsed because explosives were carefully placed besides their structural
supports", appeared at this location two days after September 11th,
2001. And here's the page seven
months later on 2002-04-13.

Note: On that particular day, no Jews
turned up for work. This was reported in the Singapore Straits Times.
On September 11th, 2001, the 28th anniversary of
the CIA-directed military coup d'etat in Chile, and the 11th
anniversary of George H. W. Bush's "New World Order" speech,
terrorists diverted four Boeing passenger jets. According to the official story
(pre-written and rushed into print in the mainstream media immediately after the
events, together with the identity of the alleged culprit) nineteen Arabs
hijacked the four planes; they crashed two of them into the World Trade
Center towers, causing fires within, and crashed a third into the Pentagon.
According to the official story the fires in the Twin Towers then caused
their steel structural supports to give way and they collapsed.
Examination of the times of the events of
September 11th provides further evidence that it was not the fires that
caused the Twin Towers to collapse. The North Tower was hit first, at 8:45 a.m.
The plane (or some object, not necessarily a large passenger jet) hit the
tower directly, in the center, and a huge explosion immediately followed the
impact. Then at 9:03 a.m. the
South Tower was hit, but whoever
was controlling the plane did not manage a direct hit; rather the
plane hit the tower toward a corner and at a shallow angle, and comparatively
little of the jet fuel entered the building, most being consumed in the fireball
(click on the image at left for further photographic evidence).
And
here's a nice one (at right, click on it for an enlargement). What happened to
the wings of the Boeing? Presumably the wings, with their engines attached,
would have sheared off when they hit the sections of the building (to the left
and right of the hole in the side of the building) which are obviously still
standing, with many wing and tail fragments ending up on the lawn in front of
the Pentagon. See any remnants of wings in the picture above (or in any of the
other pictures on the French website)? How about an engine or two?
The
photographic evidence suggests that it was indeed a missile which struck the
Pentagon and which penetrated several rings, punching a missile-sized hole in
each wall it went through, as the picture at right shows. Here is
