Art Cashin Remembers 9/11
Today, the 13th Anniversary of 9/11 will see many people recall how things were. To remember that day and the heroes it spawned who better than UBS' Art Cashin - who thought it simplest to repeat what he wrote back then.
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2001
On this day, in September of the fateful year 2001, America – and the world – continued to try to find some way to return to normal.
There have been no comments since the atrocity on 9/11. All of our family and staff are safe, thank God. But my office was put out of commission. (It was across a small open park from one of the towers.) We hope to get back into it this week and – maybe – begin regular comments next week.
A Few Personal Comments
A few years back the "New Yorker" magazine ran a whimsical cover showing how “egotistical” New Yorkers might conceive a map of the United States. Satirically it depicted the nation, with three-quarters of its focus on the island of Manhattan. Ironically, after the atrocity on September 11th, the nation’s heart, its concern, its generosity is disproportionately focused on New York in almost the same manner.
Similarly, in each of our lives, the picture we view of the world around us would surely have had us as the dominant feature of the canvas. Yet after the tragedy of that Tuesday, with its image of victims and heroes, of smoke and tears; none of us shall see ourselves so large again. There will be room in that picture for others – many others.
Valuing language and the words that give it shape, meaning and impact, I have always been fascinated by that special group who once wrote for the aforementioned "New Yorker" – James Thurber, Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, Alexander Woolcott and E.B. White and others. In simpler times (how foolish! Almost any time was simpler, safer, more secure)...let me start again.....my love for the writers that Harold Ross brought to the Golden Age of the New Yorker (and thus to the legendary "Algonquin Table") was to the comedic/satiric group. The events of 9-11 led me back to E.B. White. He was terrific, but given my satiric leaning I only loved or, at least remember three things about White – his marvelous book on writing style, his caption for a legendary New Yorker cartoon in which an obstinate kid, responding to his mom's explanation that what's on his plate is "broccoli, dear" says – "I say it's spinach and I say – the hell with it!", and – of course – his short story called "The Hour of Letdown" in which a computer built to play chess against a human, stops after the event to have a drink. (I'm not sure why I love that story.)
Nonetheless, the atrocity on September 11th recalled another E.B. White essay. It was (I recall) written over 50 years ago, back when the UN was moving into Manhattan from its early life in "Lake Success" on Long Island.
Much of White's essay, written over a half century ago is filled with meaning and moment this day. It has recently been republished as "Here is New York", if you care to see more. Here are some of the things that bridge generations:
"The subtlest change in New York is something people don't much speak about that is in everyone's mind. The city, for the first time in its long history is destructible. A single flight of planes no bigger than a wedge of geese can quickly end this island fantasy, burn the towers, crumble the bridges, turn the underground passages into lethal chambers, cremate the millions. The intimation of mortality is part of New York now; in the sound of jets overhead, in the black headlines of the latest edition."
"All dwellers in cities must live with the stubborn fact of annihilation; in New York the fact is more concentrated because of the concentration of the city itself, and because, of all targets, New York has a certain clear priority. In the mind of whatever perverted dreamer might loose the lightning, New York must hold a steady, irresistible charm."
"....New York is not a capital city – it is not a national capital or a state capital. But it is by way of becoming the capital of the world...."
"....Once again the city will absorb, almost without showing any sign of it, a congress of visitors. It has already shown itself capable of stashing away the United Nations – a great many of the delegates have been around town during the past couple of years..."
"This race – the race between the destroying planes and the struggling Parliament of Man – it sticks in all our heads." "The city at last perfectly illustrates both the universal dilemma and the general solution, this riddle in steel and stone that is at once the perfect target and the perfect demonstration of nonviolence, of racial brotherhood, this lofty target, scraping the skies and meeting the destroying planes halfway, home of all people and all nations. Capital of everything, housing those deliberations by which the planes were to be stayed and their errand forestalled."
Thank you, Mr. White! (Mr. White earlier in the essay noted that New York and New Yorkers – and all Americans – do good, do what they do, and have traditionally defied logic and their enemies by not only surviving but actually thriving. And all that was true even a half century ago.)
A More Personal Thought
Many of us got out that Tuesday walking through streets onto which ash, smoke and business envelopes fell snow-like, blocking both your view and your breathing. Yet when a stranger was met, they were invited to join the convoy and offered a spare wet cloth (carried in pockets) through which to breath as they walked. When we reached the East River (Brooklyn side of Manhattan), there was a volunteer group of tugboats, fishing boats and mini-ferries that looked like the evacuation of Dunkirk. No charge. No money. Just – "May I help you!" No one got anyone's name. No thank you cards will be sent. But Americans – even New York Americans – who freely give to strangers but argue with neighbors were suddenly one group.
In the days since, as we wander via new strange ways back to Wall Street, we all internalize the survivor’s quandary. We are lucky to be alive – but why us.
As I noted on TV – none of us headed back to re-open the markets with relish or avarice. The President, the Governor, the Mayor and all officials asked that the markets re-open to provide a means for the economy to work – to unclog an artery.
Day after day, traders, clerks and the thousands of folks who support them walked to work. No spring in their step. Resolute to do their job, they are civil but somber. As they pass checkpoints, they say "thank you" to the policemen, firemen, and National Guardsmen who may have lost brothers saving us and some of our friends.
Ironically, the only smiles you see in Wall Street are on the photocopied photos of the missing that family and friends have taped to walls, mailboxes and lampposts. It may take a long time for smiles to naturally return to Wall Street. It may take a long while to find those criminals who took our smiles and our friends. But, we will have patience. As our President said – "We will not tire. We will not falter. We will not fail!"

Art wrote a beautiful piece. The financial perpetrators of that horrific event must still be laughing. I won't be sucked in again.
Wow.
Was I the only one that threw up a little in my mouth when I saw Obimio giving a commemorative speach at the Pentagon this morning?
Loose Change the documentary. WATCH IT.

no, watch the new pearl harbor:
http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/september-11-new-pearl-harbor/
My grandfather was an Admiral stationed there. He commanded a sub. They called and told him the night before not to come into work that day. The story he told me was that a ZERO had been downed in China and the info was relayed to the US.
a handful of forigners hijacked two jet-liners and crashed them into two skyscrapers, which subsequently fell into a pile of ruble.
what are the odds that a perfectly preserved drivers license would fall from the sky- into the lap of an FBI investigator, to help identify the identity of one of the hi-jackers!?!?
yet guys like james rickards still believes the government narrative and frowns upon any notion of conspiracy. what a douche.
He's to connected to say anything otherwise. How long to you think he'd have if he came out with the truth?
The first post & link by HH is a real history lesson & should be an eye-opener for those who don't believe that governments routinely engage in false flag attacks to obtain Machiavellian Decree (does anyone remember that ghost North Korean "War Vessel" firing on our U.S. Navy in the Gulf of Tonkin, or a plethora of other recent and distant false flags?).
Urban Moving Systems was a verified Mossad front company (verified by U.S. Law Enforcement/Intelligence Agencies).
Despite reams of propaganda articles that attempt to somehhow dispute this:
http://archive.org/stream/9-11CopBreaksSilence-IsraeliMossadInvolvementI...
Whenever the feudal lords try to misdirect & complicate things via their proxies (including the MSM; maybe, in this day, especially through the MSM, owned lock, stock & barrel by 6 corporations who are thick as thieves with governmental agencies/officials), stick to the KISS method; confusion, complexity & misdirection are their main weapons, while common sense is your shield.
Keep up the good fight, HH. Don't let the bastards wear you down. On a long enough timeline the survival rate for successful mass propaganda drops precipitously (EVEN amongst the herded sheeple).
E. B. White is "now" incorrect. NYC is the Capital city of the UN, that is why the narrative in all US media is pro-NYC. The CFR and the UN are infesting that city and everything that exists there.
Also, let's not forget about Odigo instant messages & Converse.
Wait...what?
The MSM never really delved into those companies operating on the morning of 9/11 prior to the attacks on WTC?
Gee. I wonder why...
Just do your own due diligence on Odigo Instant Messaging &
Comverse as they relate to the events of 9/11.
Here's an appetizer:

9/11 FACT: The Pentagon Was Hit By A Cruise Missile From The US Military Arsenal
Didn't see any fact in your "evidence" other than a typical strawman by showing a use cruise missle then showing a grainy, short and suspiciously cgi'd video with a white blur and an explosion. no evidence that it came from the US arsenal.
Anyone who promotes a "there is no debate" attitude want only one type of narrative . just like global warming where scientists and physicists with PhD"a all believe the same thing from "peer reviewed" studies from people who all say the same thing and allow no other opinion.
I could post pictures of various cruise missles from china/russia/name your enemy state. Point is you have no proof that it was from our military so fuck off you cocksucker.
Assuming you're not a virtual sock puppet from BigGov.Org, ad hominem attacks are juvenile & destructive of one's credibility, no matter the subject nor level of disagreement.
Lots of douchebags, trolls and idiots posting here now.
Glad to see you back friend!
Planes hitting buildings do not create pulverized concrete. nor should pulverized concrete exist in building WTC7 aftermath.
misc office fires in WTC7 do not equate to symmetrical collapse nor do fires create pulverized concrete NOR does a collapse from fire create MOLTEN METAL.
NOR should there have been explosions in WTC7 BEFORE the twins fell.
If one of the buildings were rigged, then they were all rigged.
Osama Bin Laden did not have access to WTC7 nor did he want it destroyed. But guess who did.
2.7 trillion ring a bell? Enron? SEC? California Electricity Swindle?
and on and on and on.

"(does anyone remember that ghost North Korean "War Vessel" firing on our U.S. Navy in the Gulf of Tonkin, or a plethora of other recent and distant false flags?)"
============================
No, I don't remember that. What was a North Korean vessel doing in Vietnamese waters?
Rickards should talk about the gold short position of LTCM when it went down. But he won't, nor will his colleagues at the time Myron Scholes or Bob Merton who also lied about the LTCM gold short. These people will lie about anything, especially when their money is at stake. They are just showmen.
Rickards is no good at all. Why people believe him on gold issues astounds me.

Never forget Cantor Fitzgerald and their put options on the United Airlines.
Cantor Fitzgerald occupied the 101st to the 105th floors of One World Trade Center -- just above the impact zone of the hijacked plane.
Cantor Fitzgerald suffered the greatest loss of life of any company. The firm lost 658 of its 960 employees, almost two-thirds of its workforce.

The past 13 years have been the most transformative in my life. I can remember my knee jerk reaction on that day, followed by dogmatically following the herd. Then came the awakening, followed by a couple of really bad years trying to come to grips with it.
As I sit here today, I am tired. Tired of living in this cage. Tired of seeing my standard of living slipping while everything is good. Tired of the smell of the zombies, tired of the excitement that is heard when the next circus is about to start (NFL currently).
It pains me to see how so many work so hard just to try and keep things afloat, all the while the demon of interest and an exponentially expanding currency sucks the life out of them.
It saddens me because life doesn't need to be this difficult. With all the advances we have today we should be primarily interested in things of leisure or knowledge, not day to day things of keeping the lights on and food on the table.
The worst part is that it is only going to get worse. The only variable is whether it is worse slowly, or worse in a violent, abrupt way.

I signed in just to up-arrow your comment.

Just because it bears repeating. +1000 pods. Exactly my experience as well.
good stuff pods but it didn't take me long to figure out the culprits,
and I heard the guys from ladder 20 on lafayette st. roll out that morning, so fucking sad, that really gets me even right now...
Right there with you and everyone else. I can see the big rope unraveling one strand at a time. 13 years busting it but really just treading water that only gets harder the next year. We live in the Idiocracy, the next phase is bad. Freedom comes with responsibility and both of those are on the decline at a rapid clip.

Observing 9/11 will eventually/soon be un-PC just like observing Peal Harbor Day is un-PC now.
I celebrate the date some states tried to free itself from Washington's tyranny! Oh, that day is April 12, 1861.
I think it's time for another challenge to DC's rule!!!!!
Because violent revolutions always end well, right? /sarc
Former NSA Technical Director and whistleblower (for unconstitutional mega-spying and corruption) William Binney has signed Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth petition for a new 9/11 investigation:
http://www.corbettreport.com/interview-937-nsa-whistleblower-william-bin...
Binney admits that he'd never thought to look at the 3 tower's destruction, but when he was invited to look at the evidence with a physicist he immediately understood and acknowledged the scientific fraud.
Israeli TV interview of them is quite interesting, to say the least...
...as is the Howard Stern radio interview of one of the NYPD cops that arrested the five dancing Israelis.
Our friends at Google The Ministry of Truth have worked very hard at pushing that audio clip into The Memory Hole. Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are, of course, both Jewish, as is Larry Ellison, Michael Bloomberg, Steve Ballmer, and Mark Zuckerberg, so good luck with your internet searches.
I posted comments and a link to the Howard Stern interview here on ZH some time ago, however, I have a hard time finding it now. Anyone else able to find it? Those files have all likely gone away with Lois Lerner's emails.
yep, down the Zio memory hole... try to find Rachel Corrie being bulldozed into a premature dirt-nap (bad pun,sorry), or Carl Cameron expose of Zio infiltration pre-9/11... used to be out there
anyone think if Facebook wasn't run by Jews it would be a 200 billion dollar company? ditto for Google, LNKD, etc.
Happy 911mas. Don't forget to BTFD.
Howard Stern has to be the most listened to voice on the planet. Sticking anything he ever said down the Memory Hole would be quite a feat.
But if there's a real fire amidst all this apparent primary source smoke, get back to us.
Youtube videos of guys setting wire bird cages on fire with lighter fluid in an attempt to “prove” that steel doesn’t burn don't count.
So, we didn't have enough evidence to hold the Five Dancing Israelis, but we did have enough evidence to invade Afghanistan and occupy it for more than 12 years, the longest war in American history, and pass The Patriot Act? Does that make any sense to you?
Do you disagree with the fact that there were exactly zero (0) Afghans or Taliban involved in 9-11. Do you agree with the fact that 5>0?
Don't you think it is just a little strange that you can ask 100 people in the USA if they have ever heard of the 5 Dancing Israelis and you will be lucky if even one or two say yes? And you can ask 100 people in the USA why we invaded Afghanistan, and most will say because of the 9-11 attacks.
Here is a radio interview of Sgt Scott DeCarlo (the officer who arrested the 5 dancing Israelis). This interview was conducted by Dave Gahary (ex US Navy) on behalf of American Free Press
Click link below, then click play audio at the top of the page:
http://americanfreepress.net/?p=974
Even if everything implied in the above is true the Afghanistan War doesn't have anything to do with whether or not the five dancers did anything wrong.
Mercury, you're a douche. And a 9-11 true facts denier. Go eat some shit. It was all a lie, if you can't see that by now, you need to be tube fed. GTFO. Case is closed for critical thinkers.
As you well know, the point is that the FBI did something wrong by letting them go, and the US government did something wrong by invading Afghanistan, and the Mossad did something wrong by enabling the deaths of thousands of Americans.
Good luck, Mercury, working through your cognitive dissonance.
You keep saying: “Yeah, well what about this over here” without really presenting or wrapping up a coherent defense of any single point.
You’re now like four derivatives away from the original, Howard Stern interview allegation.
We’ll be arguing about the moon landing next.
missing the point Zio-asshat... if no 9-11 Mossad/CIA op - then no Afghan or Iraq war... pretty simple?
"We have some planes" ... guy sure sounded Israeli to me, but the voice recording is long down the memory hole, no doubt
So now the defense is: the only bit of data that has ever actually disappeared from the internet just so happens to be the key bit of evidence that supports my conspiracy theory?
Do you consider it progress that we're about to launch Iraq War 4 solely for a set of stupid and contradictory reasons? There's not a grassy knoll in sight this time.
Or does that take the fun out of it all?
Good fucking Lord....conspiracy theory? Are you really that dense?
I especially liked the part of the interview where one of the joos said that they were only there to document the event... Admitting pre-knowledge on TV and it gets suppressed in the US, WTF?????
My hometown newspaper. I much prefered the Onion's front page.

Sidenote: On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, claims he was at the Howard Mann school for the alleged first day of kindergarten for his son. School for kindergarten students actually started on Monday, September 10, 2001. So why would Lutnick be at the school a day late for the scheduled parent visiting day? What else could have happened on Tuesday, 9/11, that would give him a reason to skip work at his Cantor Fitzgerald ofice on the 105th floor of One World Trade Center?
Horace Mann Preparatory School calendar shows that classroom visit day for kindergarten students at the start of the school year is always the second Monday in September. On Tuesday, regular classes start, normally not a visiting day.

9/11
Either:
Those of government failed miserably and all of them should have been put out to pasture.
Those of government let it happen and all of them should be in jail.
Those of government had a hand in it and all of them should have been put to the guillotine.
That most of the American sheeple followed those that either failed, enabled or executed 9/11 is a sad statement on the American people.
An American, not US subject.
9/11 was a CIA-MOSSAD operation hatched by the City of London.
Eustice Mullins: Who Rules Your Rulers?
Fuck you Art, probably the only stressful day you've had in your wall street whoring career...then you got to wear a cool american flag lapel pin for the next decade...
Yeah, I've seen this guy around for what seems like a lifetime and I just don't get it??? His market comments are very reactive and historic in perspective. He adds nothing. Please correct me if I'm wrong / missing something about Art.
On another note, I do think he can probably drink like a fish! Again, JMO.
Art is old-school and is probably one of the few traders left that truly understands all markets dynamics...
agree that his comments are occasionally good vs. most asshats on CNBS
but he's a "trader" now? wow what a ballsy guy...lol or maye you mean floor trader, which is like a remora on a shark picking up the scraps...
maybe we can finally all work to save the world a few more tears
We blew that moment mr cashin. I dread having to cross the Ohio this weekend
Building 7 dropped in it's own footprint. That blows the whole story as far as I am concerned.
Downvote Trolls here? on this topic?
You are an enemy that will be dealt with in due time.
Ugly jew whores lied to by their daddyz.
ZH has been infiltrated by the lizards... Down votes mean nada to me...
Even NIST admited this in its report; it stated there were 2.5 seconds of free fall collapse. So healthy floors and columns just gave way of their own accord in a uniform fashion? Right...

The owner collected $500 million from insurance and has admitted to demolishing it (WTC7) in a televised interview. I believe he collected a few billion from the other buildings though my memory is foggy and I don't feel like looking it up.
Not sure why people are still talking about WTC7. It was intentionally demolished by the owner and he has admitted doing so. He collected a lot of money for doing so.
If it wasn't demolished that day and people got hurt as a result of a future collapse there would have probably been a multi billion dollar lawsuit. I would have decided to demolish the building too as at that time without the benefit of hindsight would have assumed the structural integrity of the building was compromised.
OoOoOoOOOOoooOOoo
So the owner ( Silverstein) had building 7 ready and wired with explosives waiting for the right moment to drop it at a moments notice whenever he felt like pulling the plug? I guess all the skycrapers in NYC are pre-wired for demolition, just in case the right senario plays out huh.
I am not an engineer nor am I experienced in the demolishing of commercial structures. I do know that WTC 7 was felled at 5:20 PM. Whether or not that was enough time to place explosives at support beams is not something I am familiar with though in an emergency situation it seems reasonable IMHO.
I can tell you from looking at pictures that several floors were in fact on fire after the twin towers fell. So it seems reasonable that a decision to demolish the structure was made, however, like I said above - without the benefit of hindsight and days reading conspiracy theories drinking Jim Beam (like all of us had). In that moment I would have probably made the same decision.
It takes MONTHS to plan a controlled demolition like WTC 7
In an emergency situation, and with billions of dollars on the line, I'd bet it could be done in hours.
No problem, they knew months in advance of the planned "events" for that day, plenty of time to set charges in those buildings.
Beijing Mandarin Oriental Hotel
I don't think we all have to be engineers or be experienced in demolishing commercial structures, because there is probably hardly a town in the world in which a building has not been demolished, so we all ought to be able to ask our City Building Departments what the preparations are for demolishing a building. I would think that demolition companies would bid for the contract, study the structural plans of the building, consult with the design engineers, get all the City permits, empty the building, and then take days or weeks running computer programs to design the demolition, carefully set the charges, and test all the electronics. I don't think a demolition company would be able to figure out, on that short notice, where in that 25-story building to place explosives, and what size and type of explosives to place, and how and where to wire them, or would be able to get those explosives and all the wiring ready that quickly, or would have its men run into that already-burning building and physically place and wire up those explosives on all 25-floors, and test everything, and then run out and "fell the building at 5:20 PM". That seems not only unlikely, but not possible.
Yes, they "pulled it". Silverstein said it himself. It was recorded. Look it up.
You have anymore stupid fucking questions whopper?
Now this is some conspiracy minded shit or just a fucked up coincidence....
Beverly Eckert (May 29, 1951 – February 12, 2009) was an activist and advocate for the creation of the 9/11 Commission. She was one of the members of the 9/11 Family Steering Committee for the 9/11 Commission. Eckert's husband, Sean Rooney, died at age 50 in the attacks of September 11, 2001. She pushed for a commission to investigate 9/11 and to establish a memorial.
Eckert died at age 57 on February 12, 2009, in the crash of Colgan Air Flight 3407 in Clarence Center, New York. She had met with President Barack Obama just a few days before her death in her role as an advocate for those affected by 9/11. Obama gave her the tickets.
The whole narrative is false. WTC7 was just one of dozens of holes in the official story. The other two towers were imploded/demolished too. And no plane hit the Pentagon either. And all the cell phone calls have all been debunked (impossible with technology at that time). It goes on and on and on....
Edit: apologies to whopper. I missed your comment above.
I agree. The whole narrative stinks to high heaven. However, what brought down wtc7 is not a mystery. It's a pretty well documented fact with irrefutable evidence. The owner demolished it. Whether or not the owner was in on it a story for another day.
bay of pigs- glad to see your apology to whopper. wuz just getting ready to go wookie on you for it but i thought better of it so i would like to add this.
there were random fires plus some structural damage done to the building. Water lines in the city could have been damaged due to the collapsing towers makng the sprinkler sysytems inoperable.
If the fires were to spread to a point that it consumed the entire structure it would then become a hazard that would divert already deminished resources to fighting a large structure inferno. roughly 3/4 of the city's fire department was lost and the few remaining were needed for search and rescue operations.
What would make more sense? having your building "pulled" so that you could help save others and not to create an even worse situation or be a greedy asshole an demand firefighters abandon trapped and injured people just to save your prescious building.
WTC7 was demolished no doubt about it. If you look at the many angles you can see the building buckle on one side before falling. it looks like a quick job to control an out of control situation.
Many things stink to high heaven from that day but that story is easily delt with using common sense and logic. I too do not believe that a plane hit the pentagon. if it did then let's see the video of the impact. Personally i believe that it was a missle from either china/russia/north korea. remember the missle off the coast of california that was dismissed as a contrail from a plane. i had to watch the people on teevee spew this nonsense while holding back laughter.
if you look at all the cyber attacks, not to mention identity thefts, that have taken place over the past few years they have mainly come from russia and china.
There were also large put options/shorts and market activity that shows people had a heads up in russia and europe about 9/11. Think we had our pants pulled down cyber wise and people within our government that work for interests and hate this country and capitalism ; i.e.-freedom.
Of course the pulled it dumb ass. read all the posts dumb fuck
Thanks for the reply asshole. Maybe you could start proofreading your own comments and learn how to spell?
I didn't see your apology, it is all good. thanks
Building 7, surely, was wired - how can you look at video of its collapse, penthouse first, with squibs, before freefall into its own footprint, and possibly think otherwise?
I agree, "let's find those criminals who did this" uhh, i mean enemy combatants...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08W7W9xJnZo
I know who mothman is.
And out of all this what was it, in the end, that we did not tire, falter or fail to do?
To erect the greatest serveillance/police state the world has ever seen on OUR OWN CITIZENS.
All other objectives we slowly tired of, faltered in our progress and failed. Iraq being emblematic of that.
Get it over with people it was a psyop nobody died that day
Maybe not, but for some reason there are 2 business associates of mine I've never seen since that day. Maybe they're just on a really long vacation.
I think you are full of shit.
They're with Dunbar now. Didn't nurse Duckett warn you of that?
No one?
Planes cant penetrate still like a knife goes through hot butter. Balistics. Have you heard of aluminium bullets ?
9/11 was a TV show :)
No victims
I took a dump this morning that looked like the twin towers falling....What do you think it means?
Means you are a big asshole.
That you have shitty humour?
That you had shit for brains? Hope you flushed...
That you are a TROLL
That self - euthanasia is the only and proper course of action for you to take
For you, it means "Breakfast is served". Bon appetite.
Will people remember the explosions which occurred in the towers before their collapse? Or the workers and firemen who were pulverised into centimetre sized fragments of bone as the towers collapsed? Or the searing hot remains of the twin towers and the pools of molten steel uncovered whilst sifting through the ruins?
The whole thing stinks but I doubt the truth will ever see the light of day. RIP to those who died. As for the perpetrators, those complicit in it and those who knew what was coming- when you die you will be spending a VERY long time in hell. More importantly RIP to all those civilians killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and other countries where the US has waged its war on terror because of the two biggest bogeymen of the times: Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.

I disagree: it was the third-greatest psychological hoax operation. The first? Kennedy assassination. The second? Apollo moon landings.
But I agree they are getting more clever about making it look real.
"getting more clever about making it look real"?
Pliz, The only thing that looked (and was) real were the Towers and WTC 7 being demolished in front of the World's eyes.
They didn't managed to properly place the planes on the few videos they used.
As difficult as it was, anyway it was a clumsy work. As the beheading videos.
It could be as CD says. "We can do it and we do it".
Thanks for that Great video link.
For those interested, the complete version of that Yuri Bezmenov interview is available here:

Happy False Flag Day everyone!
I'm tired of hearing about it. Tired because I'm not sure who perpetrated it - and in the meantime we've sacrificed a lot of lives, freedoms, and liberties.
and wasted a LOT of mental energy, dumbing people down. time to move the fck on. enough whining already. and let's stop bombing other people.

If you guys want to do something concrete instead of mumbling about conspiray this and false flag that.. how about you pickup the goddamned phone and call your Congressman and demand the redacted 28 pages of the 9/11 Commission be released?
LOL... "call your Congressman"... go outside and run around in circles waving your hands in the air, there is a better chance that that will produce the result you are looking for.
Ahh yes, the same congress critters that covered up 9/11 to begin with. I can just imagine them wearing minature twin towers on top their heads demanding those 28 pages be released.
You are so cute.
We told out Congresspeps not to bail out the banks. Did you see how that turned out?
Nah, I'm too busy pissing in this fan which is far more productive than calling my congress creature.
saddam and osama did that 9/11 thing. [/sarc]

Why no kissing wall at the Freedom Tower similar to the Jew’s wall over in Palestine?
There are some people who realize that the physical evidence indicates that the official story is wrong, but don't understand what purpose or interest the government may have had in carrying out the attacks and thus have a psychological relation to the entire event as remaining quite mysterious even though the government's claims are patently absurd. I'll resolve that for you.
On 9/11/91 Bush Sr. spoke before Congress calling for a new world order. Alright, so the president is announcing a major initiative to the world. What could he be up to?
As the USSR was collapsing, there were major operations underway to seize control of their industry. We need to lay down a little historical context for those unaware before proceeding.
Throughout the 1980s the CIA was heavily involved in cocaine and arms trafficking, money laundering, etc. The most famous name here might be Oliver North, but Bush Sr. is neck deep. Mena, Arkansas is a major hub for this operation under the jurisdiction of Bill Clinton. Long trail of deaths surrounding North, Clinton, Bush, Mena, etc. You can educate yourself on those details.
This scandal goes mainstream around 1986. In 1989 you get the first major form of collateralized debt obligations in the form of Brady Bonds, invented by Bush Sr.'s treasury secretary. Minimally informed people are aware of the centrality of CDOs to the 2008 financial panic and the endemic fraud to securities trades of this type.
One of the Bush/North associates is Neil Livingstone, who acts as a go between to Semion Mogilevich. Mogilevich is one of the biggest mafia leaders in the USSR at the time. Mogilevich has had money laundering through the Bank of New York exposed to the tune of $10 billion. He is a major arms dealer at the time, and also heavily connected to al-Qaeda. Part of a bargain Livingstone tried to broker with DoJ involved Mogilevich handing over a bunch of his al-Qaeda connections.
Around 9/11/91 a bunch of fraudulent Brady Bonds are issued through the Bank of New York, Mogilevich's personal money laundering machine. This manifests ten years later. If you go back and look at the settlement imbalances at banks after 9/11, even the banks operating out of WTC complexes don't have any real settlement issues. There is one major exception however: Mogilevich's money laundering hub, the Bank of New York, is reporting book imbalances in excess of $100 billion per day following the attacks. The rules governing security clearance were lifted immediately after 9/11 - allegedly due to widespread problems - but really just to allow BoNY to clear it's balances without a record. It's worth noting that BoNY did not sustain structural damage on 9/11 - not in the WTC.
So these 100s of billions of fraudulent securities that were not clearing in the days after 9/11 - where did they come from? What were they used for? This is how the west launched their invasion of Russia following the collapse. You'll find exposes about crates of freshly printed US bills being shipped to Russia like The Money Plane in NY Magazine, used to buy influence; the other side of this is the securities fraud used to buy assets. It's estimated that something like 40-50% of Russia had been bought up through the mafia by late 92 or 1993.
In 2000/2001 Putin comes onto the scene. He starts nationalizing Russian assets that were seized by the US via the above mentioned securities fraud / money laundering and putting pressure on the mob. Next thing you know 9/11 happens. There are a lot of bones to pick with the official story, but rather than taking up those issues I'd like to highlight the importance of some officially acknowledged but underreported facts.
On 9/9/01 Ahmad Massoud is assassinated by a fake TV crew that disguised a bomb as a TV camera. Two days later the secret service denies access to a couple of guys claiming to have an interview lined up with Bush in Florida on the morning of 9/11. This is our first direct threat against Bush of the day and indication of some larger plot than hijacked planes. Upon learning of the attacks, Bush insists on returning directly to Washington. In flight, a threat is received in the form of a call from an unknown source saying "Angel is next," angel being code for the president that only insiders would have. (* "Can you confirm the substance of that threat that was telephoned in...that Air Force One is next and using code words?" Fleischer: "Yes, I can. That's correct."(September 13)* )Bush is at this point aware that there is some sort of coup effort going on; for example, all the reporter's onboard AF1 are required to turn their cellphones off because they are worried about the attacking faction tracking cell signals - a capability we can all agree is well beyond that of al-Qaeda.
So Bush is under threat from people with high level insider knowledge. Press secretary acknowledged all this on national TV the day after (Angel is next being called in). Bush diverts to Barksdale which is basically the #2 nuclear command site. After a couple hours there he proceeds to Offutt, which is the #1 nuclear command site. You should also be aware of a variety of drills running on the day of 9/11, Vigilant Guardian. This is a full scale mock up of nuclear war; the whole infrastructure is activated for first strike (incidentally, part of the Vigilant Guardian drill in 2001 included a hijacking of planes as the instigator of the conflict). So what is Bush doing going to Barksdale and Offutt? Clearly trying to bring the nuclear forces to heel in light of learning of high level insider power plays.
This might be starting to sound a bit over the top - high level insiders seizing control of nuclear infrastructure and threatening the president with it. But only a few years later we have a similar incident in 2007 as 6 nuclear weapons are seized, generally regarded as intended for use starting the war in either Iran or Georgia. Later, in 2013, we again have nukes going off base unauthorized. Hours after it was reported in the media Sen. Graham is on TV warning of a nuke hit on South Carolina to be blamed on Syrian rebels; two of top nuclear commanders get dismissed in the following weeks. So high level insider fighting over the nuclear arsenal is pretty standard stuff, well known to the public.
With the question of a struggle over the nuclear arsenal now being common sense rather than shocking, we consider Bush caving to the terrorism line and starting the whole war on terror. You have Putin immediately backing off the seizure of assets in Russia. It won't be until the last couple of years that Putin resumes his assertion of authority over Russia; the US responds in kind with attacks on Syria and Ukraine but Russia has since quietly updated it's missile program and is prepared for nuclear war this time around; you now see a defiant Putin in the face of the 9/11 coup faction. Alongside this remarkable shift in geopolitics, there is an emerging anti-dollar block with the BRIC countries establishing an infrastructure bank last year. Just weeks ago, Glazyev announced this and is widely regarded as being the mouth of Putin; he organized the recent gas deal with Chin for example.
So you see 9/11 was a pivotal event used to extend the US dollar empire under threat of nuclear war for another 10-15 years in the face of an assertive Putin back in 2001 and growing domestic problems for the US Government. (You may recall the 90s was full of anti government militancy, concern over globalization, NAFTA, extraordinary distrust, in general what you would expect of citizens in an empire with no apparent external threat ... the cold war had ended)
So now that broad outline of purpose and motivation for 9/11 is clear, it's easier to come to terms with what your eyes tell you looking at Building 7 implode into its foot print at free fall for example. You don't even necessarily have to view it as an evil thing; the US people are quite severely fucked without something being done to backstop the US dollar.
- unknownHow does the Bush family acquiring vast tracts of land in Paraguay fit into this?
Karl Denninger had a piece this AM stating that anyone questioning the government's account of 9/11 must be an idiot. Karl is a smart successful individual. He can be a little rigid in his thinking. Bill Whittle takes the same stance, but not as vociferously.
Bill Still takes the position that anybody not questioning the goernments account is a little soft in the head and lacking in patriotism. Paul Craig Roberts holds that anybody who believes a word of the government's account is a complete fool.
All I can say is: 'Why did WTC7 come down at free fall speed.' I will ignore the issue of the fact tht it fell in its own footprint (appearance of being professionally imploded) and that a modern steel structure has never collapsed due to fire. I can think of no adequate explanation of the ree fall speed.
Karl Denninger won't communicate with me. I posted on his board once advocating a petition to have the Fed/Treasury gold audited. Karl needs to address the free fall.
I find it hilarious that people who relentlessly deride conspiracy theories are always the ones who are most like to believe a conspiracy theory, so long as it is uttered from the lips of a government stooge.
Really, it just goes to show how deeply we are programmed to submit to authority.
I really like Denninger, but he has a few gigantic, glaring blind spots. I remember back in 2008 how he said that the Fed would NEVER monetize the debt because that was "illegal" and "contrary to their charter", so therefore it could NEVER happen.
He seems to have forgotten all about that now.
denniger cracks me up with that bondzilla talk. he is clueless.
Denninger argues that QE must stop because it has to do so "of its own weight' if you will. Who (what foreigners) will continue to purchase the "excess" paper that the Fed can't/won't buy. We will go no bid, rates will go through the roof, and we will have the great governmental reset. HE also points out that many, many retirement funds have to have US Treasuries, that what they have been buying has no/zero yield, that the average duration is about seven years - about how long we have been in ZIRP - and that therefore they are chock full of zero yield instruments with no hope of ever servicing retirees. He makes the same argument about mortgage funds with the focus on the seven year duration parameter. If the foreigners don't stop QE, then the various investment funds will. We will have in-your-face "return free risk," to quote James Grant. I find these arguments compelling.
Others - Jim Rogers, "Jim Willie", etc make excellent arguments that the Fed wil keep on printing because it can and has to. Hard to dismiss.
I am totally confused. If you have the answer. let me know.
Denninger is a complete fucking nut. Leave him behind. PCR is far more credible than any of those guys. Move on.
amen. denniger is dangerous to your accounts.
Correct. Never trust a control freak who squashes any hint of dissent.

Everyone should consider the credibility of such an organization.
The founder, of course, has passed away from cancer since starting the group. but I bet my tin foil hat his grave site pings a Geiger like the produce from Fukishima prefecture they feed school kids.
As someone above mentioned WTC 7 is a key piece of the evidence.
WTC 7 was not hit by a plane, and was much less damaged than some of the other surrounding structures.
But yet it still collapsed, fully into its foundation later that same day.
This is the building referred to in the Larry Silverstein quote "there was so much loss of life... so we decided to pull it"
Never before in the 130 year history of fire protected steel frame hi rise buildings has a structure failed from fires alone.
Even if it were possible, how do we achieve a total symmetrical structural collapse of the entire building when the fires occur in an inconsistent asymmetrical manner, asymmetrical in the time of burn, location, and intensity of heat.
Also consider fire experts saying the intensity of heat from jet fuel fire is not high enough to create "molten steel" as observed coming out of the wreckage of the main two towers.
I would like to find out someone water boards Larry until he coughs up his end of the story and posts it to you tube.
But alas we are all too kind to do that.

Most people prefer to believe their leaders are just and fair even in the face of evidence to the contrary, because once a citizen acknowledges that the government under which they live is lying and corrupt, the citizen has to choose what he or she will do about it. To take action in the face of a corrupt government entails risks of harm to life and loved ones by A DESPOTIC government. To choose to do nothing is to surrender one's self-image of standing for principles. Most people do not have the courage to face that choice. Hence, most propaganda is not designed to fool the critical thinker but only to give moral cowards an excuse not to think at all...
"Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed, if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves......."
Blog Truth!!!!
The thing about truth is that is it sustainable, and supported by facts that never go away. Lies are un-sustainable, and supported only by someone’s self-created ego that actually believes they are true.
A thousand websites exposing 9/11 truth wouldn't matter, 99% of American sheeple don't care and the 1% who do care won't do anything about it.
Yes they'd rather be slaves than do what it takes to be free.
This list comes up every year at this time.
To this day many of these questions remain unanswered, and why is that? No one cares to save America from the evil lying warmongers and wicked corruption that is killing the country.

Seriously, how many people will read this list. And is that the point. Try something SIMPLE.
I think most of the 9-11 Conspiracy Theories were created by NSA / CIA to muddy the waters and make ANY Conspiracy Theory look nuts. Especially the most obvious one, that US Administration were expecting some sort of attack. They had also been told that people were training on flight simulators, and in August 2001 after the arrest of Israeli agents in Florida they knew a lot.
The simplist Conspiracy Theory then, is that they knew SOMETHING was coming, and if it was big enough it would be a blank check to invade Iraq etc.
No hidden explosives, mystery planes etc., Nut-Job theories.
Simple.
SIMPLE.
excellent list of question's you should have been on the 9-11 comission
