The Anniversary of 9/11

George Washington's picture




 

Washington’s Blog

Don't want to hear this?

Tough. Grow up.

9/11 Commissioners:

  • And the Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) - who led the 9/11 staff's inquiry - recently said "At some level of the government, at some point in time...there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened". He also said "I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described
    .... The tapes told a radically different story from what had been
    told to us and the public for two years.... This is not spin. This is
    not true." And he said:
    "It's almost a culture of concealment, for lack of a better word.
    There were interviews made at the FAA's New York center the night of
    9/11 and those tapes were destroyed. The CIA tapes of the interrogations
    were destroyed. The story of 9/11 itself, to put it mildly, was distorted and was completely different from the way things happened"

If even the 9/11 Commissioners don't buy the official story, why do you?

Senior intelligence officers:

  • Former military analyst and famed whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg said that the case of a certain 9/11 whistleblower is "far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers".
    He also said that the government is ordering the media to cover up her
    allegations about 9/11. And he said that some of the claims concerning
    government involvement in 9/11 are credible, that "very serious
    questions have been raised about what they [U.S. government officials]
    knew beforehand and how much involvement there might have been", that
    engineering 9/11 would not be humanly or psychologically beyond the
    scope of the current administration, and that there's enough evidence
    to justify a new, "hard-hitting" investigation into 9/11 with subpoenas
    and testimony taken under oath (see this and this)
  • A decorated 20-year CIA veteran, who
    Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative reporter Seymour Hersh called
    "perhaps the best on-the-ground field officer in the Middle East”, and
    whose astounding career formed the script for the Academy Award winning
    motion picture Syriana (Robert Baer) said that "the evidence points at" 9/11 having had aspects of being an inside job

If even our country's top intelligence officers don't buy the official story, why do you?

Congressmen:

  • Former
    U.S. Republican Congressman and senior member of the House Armed
    Services Committee, and who served six years as the Chairman of the
    Military Research and Development Subcommittee Curt Weldon has shown
    that the U.S. tracked hijackers before 9/11, is open to hearing information about explosives in the Twin Towers, and is open to the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job

If there is bipartisan questioning of the official story, why aren't you questioning it?

Other government officials:

  • Former
    Deputy Secretary for Intelligence and Warning under Nixon, Ford, and
    Carter (Morton Goulder), former Deputy Director to the White House Task
    Force on Terrorism (Edward L. Peck), and former US Department of State
    Foreign Service Officer (J. Michael Springmann), as well as a who's who
    of liberals and independents) jointly call for a new investigation into 9/11
  • Former
    Federal Prosecutor, Office of Special Investigations, U.S. Department
    of Justice under Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan; former U.S.
    Army Intelligence officer, and currently a widely-sought media
    commentator on terrorism and intelligence services (John Loftus) says
    "The information provided by European intelligence services prior to
    9/11 was so extensive that it is no longer possible for either the CIA
    or FBI to assert a defense of incompetence"

If top government officials are skeptical, why aren't you?

Numerous other politicians, judges, legal scholars, and attorneys also question at least some aspects of the government's version of 9/11.

Note 1:  Yes, this does have to do with economics and business. Nobel prize economist Joe Stiglitz just said
that the Iraq war is partly responsible for our bad economy.  Many
forget, but the Iraq war was "legally" justified by the claim that Iraq
had a hand in 9/11.  See this.  And 9/11 has had a profound affect on the economy in many other ways as well.  See this.
 

Note 2: This essay does not argue any theory of what did happen on 9/11; it only points out from credible sources that no thorough investigation has ever been conducted.

Note 3: As always, the views expressed herein do not necessarily reflect
those of the owners of the Zero Hedge site.  In fact, I have no idea
whether they agree or disagree with any point made herein.

"would be in the street overthrowing the government"

If all it took was "yeah, lets go to a street, and stand there and hang out, and the government will magically collapse", then it would have happened already.  That, and the truth of the matter often tends to get compartmentalized for the sake of sanity.

To the extent you are able, discontinue your participation in the societal structures that enslave you.  The Amish are a solid, practical, real life example, and one need not be hardcore religious or have a strict code of dress to pull it off; simply a desire to hit the reset button in your own life.  The more people that disconnect (either fully or partially), the less power they have.

repete, I get the investigation demand - but my question revolves around running with the theory that it was planned from the outset. Inside job, and all that - where does that leave us?

For me, that sounds like "get the hell out of this 'effed up system", even if that means leaving the country.

Anyone else have suggestions? If any of these things were true, would you even want to continue living here?

Please feel free to do some independant research on the 9/11 commission members, and ask yourself the simple rhetorical question: "If the power elites were actually responsible for this, why would their fellow power elites turn them in?"

Having stood at the corner of 16th and K st. N.W., facing west, I have a different view of the events of September 11, 2001 than some have posted here. A little more ZH analysis and a little less dick swinging might take some of the dread of clear sapphire blue sky from my psyche. Maybe I should grow a pair, but tomorrow is a day spent in a graveyard until enough Jameson is consumed to see only clouds.

Very sorry that individuals you cared about were lost on that day (and of course all the thousands who died on that day and as a result of what happened after...).  I will also raise a glass of scotch in honor of them.... 

Indeed...it is important that we understand the reality of why the USA was attacked on 9/11 so that more lives are not lost in the future as a result of US foreign policy.

The Power Of Imagery

http://www.septemberclues.info/

.

Television is - and has always been - a Weapon of Mass Distraction.
The power of TV-imagery was the driving force behind the 9/11 deception.

Whenever a major news event is reported by the mainstream media, it will invariably be illustrated with photographs or videos in order to convey to the public some visual impressions of the event. Undeniably, the imagery connected with any given news story enhances our emotional relation to it. The way we relate to news imagery has an almost hypnotic effect on our psyche: we have come to consider the visuals of any given news story as proof of that news story’s authenticity. This is truly a ‘weak spot’ of our brains’ readiness for critical-thinking. Thus follows, unfortunately, that to challenge the authenticity of a catastrophic event shown on Live TV is way beyond what most people are willing to contemplate. However, the time has come for everyone to call television by its most appropriate, military-sounding name: "Weapon of Mass Distraction".

Amazing what you can see when the blinders are removed.  As always, thanks for being around.

All you cave-dweller conspiracy theorists need to remove your blinders.  This is a good start.  And, remember: Edward Bernasy was real; Operation Northwoods was reall; the Manhattan Project was real.  The ultimate power, power for deception, is held by those with the greatest wealth- your masters...

Do you mean Edward Bernays?

From Wikipedia:

Although part of the U.S. government's Cuban Project anti-communist initiative, Operation Northwoods was never officially accepted and the proposals included in the plan were never executed.

Operation Northwoods was real in what way?

yes, methinks he meant this E.Bernays:

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the [public] is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country."

nice of you to catch the typo tho and of course use it to discredit his statement.  straight from the 50 cent playbook yes?

Truth can indeed often be stranger than fiction. And incompetence can be more real than conspiracy.

It remains pretty certain that the Warren Commission was a whitewash. And yet, equally certain that Oswald acted alone.

This doesn't mean that Oswald wasn't targeted and used. And it doesn't mean that 9/11 didn't get a little help along the way. (The Pentagon thing for instance still requires huge explanation).

But if you watch Dubya's face when told of the New York incidents, his reaction says it all: he is astonished and shocked. Bush wasn't smart enough to act that one out.

My best guess on this is that US Intelligence had prior knowledge. But while most of the political clas dismissed the threat as nonsense, enough CIA/Military prepared for it. And didn't tell the President. (Would you?)

If you look at the eventual unfolding of events, this is the best match to what seems to have happened.

But we will never know. Here's something that isn't so much conspiracy as commonsense...

i disagree.  and speaking of metaphors,

  we already know,  we just don't like what we know

so we go on lying, denying and avoiding and rationalizing so we

don't have to face what we know and then deal with it.

like cancer.  if you suspect you might have it but can avoid

it, why face it?  it is only when you can't avoid it anymore,

then you face it and say, "now, i know".   we have a cancer, growth, and

a parasite.  see here iatrogenic morbidity and mortality.  kills more

people than falling coconuts or heart disease ..... almost as many

as politics practiced by morons pretending to be diplomats and "leaders".

problem.  9/11 is part of it.  the part where the parasite latched onto

it's cancer riddled host and injected it's narcoleptic poison into

the brain of the host.  now it is feeding undisturbed by it's unconscious

victim.  the last nail in the host's coffin being driven in by the supreme

justice's decision to abandon justice altogether in favor of nice property

from fiat exchanges of lies and hypocrisy,  a judicial love story in the

making.

http://www.zerohedge.com/article/supreme-court-corporations-can-buy-judges

.

before we can have a rightful memorial of 9/11 we have to know

what happened;  not the political lie of what happened but the truth.

but people don't want the truth?  is it too hard?

9 months ago The last lyrics? used in this scene are also in the book: The ribs and terrors in the whale, Arched over me a dismal gloom, While all God's sun-lit waves rolled by, And lift me deepening down to doom. I saw the opening maw of hell, With endless pains and sorrows there; Which none but they that feel can tell -- Oh, I was plunging to despair. In black distress, I called my God, When I could scarce believe him mine, He bowed his ear to my complaints -- No more the whale did me confine ... . speaking of metaphors...

The political warfare of 2010 is the Mexican battle cry at the Alamo; take no prisoners. The Obama/Democrat whine is that everything that went wrong BO, before Obama, was the fault of GB and the Republicans. The Obama/Democrat whine is that everything that went wrong after “yes we can”, Obama elected, was the fault of GB and the Republicans. This is a war of total war including the welfare of the ruling class over the welfare of the American population and World economy.

 

If there is any event changing hard pan in this murky pond of 9/11, Obama and the Democrats will use the 9/11 WMD against the Republicans. If they have indeed found the 9/11 WMD. Obama and the Democrats will literally try to hang Bush, and every other Republican they can charge and convict. Whether this shock and awe will be real or fiction spiced will be seen. Will it be this year or saved for the Presidential election? Or, maybe bits and dribbles that will not be challenged as part of the big lie becomes fact.

 

I think if there is anything really wrong, the Democrats will go at it and even throw their own people under the bus to keep power (if any Democrats were on the wrong side of this).

 

Don’t bet too much money that any of the above will happen, and it is not because it is a gentleman’s game.

Inheritance is not an excuse for making a bad situation worse...

but that won't stop them from blaming their policy faliures on the prior administration.

The Obama administration will do whatever it can to blame their predecessors becuse, as you point out, they don't wan't any responsibility for the damage they have done and will do whatever they can to throw whoever they can under the bus to avoid any responsibility for the failure of their policies -- and as we all know this was predictable and predicted -- their policies were just the same tired old crap (bad ideas) that always fails....

ColonelCooper's picture

Because I am someone who does "question everything", I have too many questions to decide for myself whether or not the WTC was an inside job.

TPTB decided EITHER four months before, or four seconds after, (depending on what really happened) that we were never going to know the truth.  If somehow magically, the general public was able to access every last document and file in existance, we still wouldn't know for sure.  Everything that would/could answer the question has certainly been destroyed.  Even if someone were to "blow the whistle", we would be left with the question: "Why"?  What did he/she or TPTB stand to gain from the squeal, and is it true? 

So what's left is a long list of questions with very few answers that don't lead to another list of questions.

-What's the prize? (as asked and answered above)  With W. in the White House, and his popularity still good, did we really need a false flag of that magnitude on our own soil to incite the public to accept a war?  Would it not have been much easier and "safer" to have started a string of smaller attacks on targets like Embassies and overseas civialians?  If it was an "Operation Northwoods" type scenario, does it seem likely that we would have chosen the Pentagon AND the WTC in the same attack?  It just doesn't ring true.  To use Emmanuel's philosophy, "never let a crisis go to waste", I certainly believe that W. used 9-11 to its fullest extent in order to go to war so as to shift the economy into a higher gear.

PERHAPS, just perhaps it was a government job, but not ours???  Who else stood to gain from the possibility of shifting world opinion against the Muslim world as a whole?  Perhaps Isreal just to name one? 

-I will admit that for a short time the American people stood together waving flags in a unity that we hadn't seen since the 40's.  But have we really seen an economic gain from this?  We've sunk hundreds of billions into foreign occupations that have yielded NOTHING except to strengthen world opinion against us, and more importantly a lot of dead soldiers. 

-To start a war for oil?  Where the fuck's the oil?  We could have taken the Iraqi fields the first time around, AND done it with public support if that was the goal.  If it really was a war for oil then we sure fucked that one up big time.   

-In order to pass the Patriot Act?  I find that one improbable at best.  The government has incrementally stolen our liberties for decades.  Nothing exists in the Patriot Act that couldn't have been stuck into a few of the 1000+ page bills we shit out over a period of a few years.  Hell, we wouldn't even know about half of it.

-Is there a lot of screwy unbelievable shit in the story about the Pennsylvania flight?  Yes.  Is it very probable that we shot it down ourselves then made up the story not only to hide that fact, (which we could have justified in light of the other planes) but to make heroes out of the passengers?  America loves it's hero stories, and it's far from the first time we've embellished the truth on that score.

-Because a bunch of Government beaurocrats say we're being lied to?  While I believe we are being lied to, I question the motives of the high level nay-sayers.  Does it seem possible that a lot of big egos got bruised when doors were abruptly slammed in their faces?  "Thanks but no thanks", and "above your pay grade" are not what limelight seekers want to hear.  Does it seem probable that if the government was actually willing to murder thousands in a false flag that a couple of car accidents and a heart attack here and there wouldn't have happened if they were really onto something? 

-Does it look like controlled demo?  Yes.  Are there experts that say it was?  Yes.  Are there experts that say it wasn't? Yes.  Reminds me of debate over global warming.  Because of the conflict, I find it hard to accept as credible ANYONE'S "professional" opinion without researching their motives.  Too much limelight at stake.

This could go on forever, but what I find most surprising is the number of people on this site (smarter than the average bear) who have made up their mind, (both sides of the coin) and you're a fucking idiot if you disagree! This issue has turned into one of faith, but there is a key difference between this one and say,,,, Isreal/Palestine, Abortion, Bull/Bear:  This one is black and white.  We either did it or we didn't.  The facts to prove it one way or another have either been destroyed or will die with the people who hold them secret.  Until and unless these secrets are revealed, There is no definitive answer!

As one who distrusts my government on 99.9% of all things, I certainly believe them capable of having done this.  Deep in my heart I don't want to believe it.  There are a lot of people here who WANT to believe one way or the other, but very few willing to admit that what they WANT to believe is affecting their judgement.  Anybody who's willing to call someone who disagrees with them on this "a tool" is definitely a pot calling the kettle black.

Indirection and ad hominem attacks do nothing for the pursuit of true knowledge.

Try sticking to the subject at hand, if you're "man" enough.

WTC 7 managed to fall how?  If you can convince me that it wasn't demo'd then I'll suck it up and believe in the otherwise makebelieve story that 19 cave dwellers with nothing but box cutters could defeat a multi-layered, multi-billion dollar escurity system.  Yeah, you are the same kind of person who boasts about how great our military, yet are quite readily quick to proclaim that all this happened due to incompetence.  There's a huge flaw in logic here, in which case it's not a surprise that you'd stoop to shifting the subject to Unicorns, or fucking whatever...

I can't tell you how many "spirited discussions" I have gotten into with people over this.... How naive the public of the USA is--they have turned into a bunch of brainwashed publicly owned slaves.  Despite the obviousness that the military and the lives of US soldiers are nothing more than tools for the kleptocracy to fulfill its agenda, the vast majority of people unquestioningly believe whatever our inherently coercive, wasteful, and inefficient government tells them, these people are very Un-American. What happened to the American spirit - the one that used to be skeptical of anything the government did, the one that held politicians in low esteem...how people have forgotten what this country was built on, now we get to suffer from bad ideas.

The foreign policy of the USA has literally destroyed the country.  Want change you can believe in? Then lets abolish the CIA, it would go a long way towards increasing peace throughout the world.

Ultimately the course of history is determined by ideas, be they good or bad, it is a slow process but the tide is turning in favor of truth, nice article GW--the world appreciates you Sir....

Years ago, approx 2003 when i was vacationing in Mexico, my wife and i (Both Canadians) met a couple from Chicago on our resort.  When we discussed 911 with them,  that we believed that the whole thing was staged/conspiracy, the Chicago couple looked at us as if we were from another "world".  Probably wondered where we got our drugs?

 

It is good to see that you Americans finally woke up.  it took a long time though.  To take away your freedom, the government and the elite needed to do the 911 job.  and the victims were just collateral damage!

Did you explain how you got the drugs?  I'm certain your theories on the 9/11 event were incoherent.

At any rate, I just want to express my condolences to all those who lost loved ones nine years ago tomorrow. A very, very sad day.

And, we've only helped to duplicate such tragedy a thousand-fold since then.  But, we mustn't withdraw lest all those people will havedied in vain!  If we kill enough people then we'll never remember how this was all started- great plan! (juts keep killing into the next dumbed-down generation, who will have been further brainwashed that the government is really bad, but that it's really good when it comes to bad guys).

You know the way BP options were back-dated after the Macondo well blowout to protect so-and-so's capital?  This did not happen after the fact on 9/11?

LOL. George, are you a "birther" too?

Seriously though, a common trait among you conspiracy kooks is your complete unwillingness to accept how one (or a few) very focused individuals can alter the course of history.  Could 19 arab fanatics hijack four passanger jets, destroy the World Trade Center, heavily damage the Pentagon and kill two thousand people in the process?  Yes George.  Could Lee Harvey Oswald get off enough rifle shots with enough accuracy to kill President Kennedy and wound Texas governor John Connelly?  Yes George.  Could ancient civilizations really built great structures, such as the Mayan Temples, without the help of little green men from outer space?  Yes George. 

  A friend of mine is a police detective.  He's not a rocket scientist or a member of Mensa.  But, he does know his job and he does it very well.  In his experience, conspiracies are almost impossible to keep hidden, even those conspiracies involving only two people.  He says that at some point there will exist enough suspicion, ill-will, desire for fame, money or self-aggrandisement, what-have-you, that will cause one of the conspirators to go public.

I call bullshit on your 9/11 conspiracy theories.
