nine eleven i think obviously since that is the underlying cause celebre of everything else that's going on the patriot act homeland security the stripping of the constitution invasions of afghanistan iraq and future invasions of iran saudi arabia who knows what all of that goes back to nine eleven and if nine eleven was not on the level then none of the preceding of the answer can be on the level so i think you have to start with the initial impetus for this first address what i would like to call the nine eleven myth it is i submit a fantastic construct it is the story of the one thousand hijackers bin laden the laptop in the cave and so forth this myth has now become the basis of the government of the united states the two are inextricably linked and the survival of the myth is of course the key to the re usurping campaign of the current tenant of the white house and i would submit to you that the overriding political priority for every person of goodwill on this planet is to dismantle this myth to critique it to deconstruct it and to put it into the dustbin of history and we've heard a lot of theories about why the official story of nine eleven does not hold water and what i'm going to present to you is twenty six of those flight seventy seven was able to fly uninterrupted for one hour and forty five minutes after detection was the air force aunts down stand down orders no steel structured building in the world has ever collapsed due to fire the mysterious collapse of building seven world trade center building seven was not reported to be on foreign till three p m and thanks spent for his research on this these fires were relatively small and appeared on floors seven to twelve and twelve and less than three hours the whole building came tumbling down into a vaporized cloud of dust at five twenty five even though no airplane hit it had hit it and no debris had fallen on top of it but we do know that some of the nine one one hijackers were imported and trained by the us military well it took fourteen months for president bush to set up a public inquir nine eleven the most significant terrorist attack in the history of american nation the pearl harbor commission only took nine days to be formed the j f k commission talking seventy's the titanic commission took six days the challenger disaster commission took seventy's the entire bush agenda as we know and we've studied this weekend is based entirely on the myth of nine eleven if the official story is found to be illegitimate bush and company could find themselves behind bars there is a force more powerful and it is us we the people together we can break the consensus their corruption is so outrageous that it won't last forever and people see their corruption and that's one reason why we're here and how are we going to get rid of this group in my my personal thing is i think it's going to take nonviolence peaceful demonstrations because there are way more of us than they are of love has always won there have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they can seem invincible but in the end they always fall think on always nine eleven was not a failure of low level bureaucrats but an executive level stand down on september eleventh while four planes were hijacked and two crashed into the twin towers while people were burning and jumping out of buildings g w bush commander in chief was in a second grade classroom in sarasota florida reading about a pet goat today the administration has presented no evidence that it was bin laden and al remember they couldn't trust us with that information before they rushed into the story afghanistan again no tapes nothing but an alleged hijackers passport which miraculously survived the rubble of the world trade center the nine eleven commission is officially called the national commission on terrorist attacks upon the united states the bush administration had already written the plotline and these ten dependent commissioners are merely reading the script it looks like karl rove called central casting and found washington insiders with so many conflicts of interest so much to lose and their high powered jobs they are guaranteed to play their role and keep the truth under wraps max cleland said of the nine eleven commission that its deal with the white house about seeing it s presidential briefings is a sham it's disgusting and america is being cheated callahan's co founder of citizens watch which monitors the commission has called the commission spineless and operating under a dark veil of secrecy and i simply call it the cover up commission like the warren commission the nine eleven and commission is turning up some information that can help us piece together the real story so it cannot be dismissed out of hand but the real benefit i see of the commission is that it may be accumulating quite a record of those who may have misled or lied to the commission remember cover up is another name for obstruction of justice perhaps the international inquiry which we're forming might consider adding some of these commissioners to those involved in the cover up truth is the only way to healing and peace the idea that the world trade center collapsed the leveling of the twin towers and building seven resulted from jetliners impacting the towers is the core of the big lie of nine eleven zero one collisions the pentagon assault and the crash of flight ninety three were horrific deadly events it was a total destruction of the towers over an hour after they were hit by the airplanes because north tower that killed by far the most people to the repeated  collisions with the collapses conceal the fact that the explosive disintegrations of the towers were the heart of the psychological assault on the populace the shocking explosions of the signature towers were the key psychological underpinning of the war on terror despite the non sequitur of steel framed buildings converting themselves into dust and shredded steel the jetliner hits tower tower falls down mean proved difficult to pierce i found the collapse of building seven and effective antidote to the conditioning surrounding the collapses of the twin towers therefore i will first present a breach segment on building seven then  proceed to examine the collapse of the twin towers i would like to not only talk about pakistan's role in the plot but also what that tells us about the role of the us government potentially in the plot in nine eleven in the early hundred ninety s the i s i created the taliban in afghanistan pretty much from scratch the taliban didn't exist they gave them money weapons everything sort of pushed them over the border and they put them in the power after a tremendous amount of support behind them and it's pretty much accepted by by all the mainstream media that the taleban were the complete puppets of the either that the us was directly involved with pakistan in these other countries in the nine eleven plot and allowed it to happen or helped make it happen or the us government was completely taken for fools and then afterwards they they covered up the foolishness and have actually instead of punish these these countries and these actors that actually rewarded them and i would argue that that person i favor the first but i would argue that in either case this is really treasonous behavior to deceive the american people in this way to let the true perpetrators of nine eleven go free and in either case it should lead to impeachment of president bush thank you many people wonder about how such a quote unquote conspiracy could be carried out thousands of people would have had to know the answer is no i have studied a great many covert operations i have interviewed a great many covert operatives and the fact is you don't need a whole lot of people to know you need keep people in key places for the first reason that there's something called compartmentalization where you only have a person in one room working on a bolt a person and another room working on a not a person in another room working on a screw and nobody knows what the finished product looks like that's metaphors for covert operations but also you only need a few people and keep places it's and here's another quote that from the associated press on aug thirteenth fighter jets scrambled sixty seven times properly in the calendar year prior to nine eleven so we know from these events right now that at this point that at eight between eight thirteen and eight fourteen a m in the morning it we have confirmation according to what the f a a would know that flight eleven had been hijacked period there is no question at that point immediately the scramble order should have been issued over here at eight forty six three f sixteen designed to andrews air force base or flying air to ground strike training mission two hundred miles from washington instead of being ordered to d c at supersonic speeds they return to base slowly landing only after flight seventy seven hits the pentagon they could have been in d c airspace within ten minutes flight ninety three was shot down you cannot have a five mile or four or five mile debris trail i think the port engine was something like two and a half miles from the impact site these multi ton engines don't bounce two and a half miles multiple witnesses co m a missile strike on the aircraft and there were some very strange military planes around that so when you get to the bottom all this nobody did what they were supposed to be doing and it shows a very clear criminal criminally negligent at best behavior i think you have a clear case for conspiracy here my and my plea to all nine eleven activists is that we have to find the sheet music so that we can all sing the same notes i would submit to you that if i could make this case to you in twenty minutes we can make the same case to the american people in twenty minutes and if we keep it simple we might be able to crack the nut that we need to crack that we must crack to save our country and save our planet and our civilization  the planes hit new york city sounds now or dead it was there with terrorists this is what you said well if that is the case then what have you got to hide what we doing on the day all those people died where the fuck were the fighter jets order very patriotic to investigate it throughout all of history this is the basic premise of tyrants has damn dictators shall we say and i think it's fair to say that george w bush is the dictator has been if you tell the people they have an external enemy they'll follow you anywhere that was what gerbils told hitler to do back in ancient history that's what roman emperors did some pretty bold words well our question on friday was charlie sheen speaks out do you agree there is a government cover of nine eleven tens of thousands of you voted and the results we received eighty three percent of you said yes seventeen percent of you said no among the e mails we received were from a leader in oklahoma writes i agree with charl david grossman there's been two main theories about nine eleven each of which is a conspiracy theory the official conspiracy theory says that the attacks were planned and carried out entirely by al qaeda the alternative theory says that the attacks could not have succeeded without the involvement of forces within our own government and examining the nine eleven commission report i have focused on it how it dealt with evidence supportive of the alternative theory i have found that it did so by distorting or simply ignoring this evidence this is no surprise because the man running the commission philip zelikow was assumed sensually a member of the bush cheney administration but it is a fact that needs to be brought to light because there are so many omissions and distortions in my book i identified at least one hundred fifteen i can point to a significant percentage of them only by moving through my list rather quickly i will begin with the question of how hijacked airliners could have struck the twin towers the commission's answer was the third answer we have been given to that question the first answer given by military leaders the first few days after nine eleven was that no fighter jets were sent up until after the pentagon was struck the second answer was contained in a timeline put out by norad on september eighteenth one week after nine eleven in which it stated the times at which it had been notified by the f a a about each flight and then the times at which it had fighters set up the commission failed to mention this change of story with regard to flight eleven the commission claimed that the military received notification about its hijacking nine minutes before it struck the north tower the military was on and unable to intercept it however because colonel marr the head of needs norad's northeast sector had to telephone a superior in florida to get permission and this call took eight minutes the commission besides failing to ask how such a call could take so long also failed to point out that according to department of defense procedures the call was unnecessary with regard to flight one seventy five the commission claimed that the military received no notification about it until after it had struck the south tower but norad and its september eighteenth timeline had said that notification had been received at eight forty three a full twenty minutes before the south tower was struck so if the commission's new story is true then norad officials were either lying or their memories were so bad that they got confused one week after the events the commission however failed to press this question whenever there is a crisis the f a a sets up a teleconference with the military information about flight one seventy five hijacking it would seem should have come to the military by means of this teleconference the commission however claimed that the f a a did not set up this teleconference until night nine twenty seventeen minutes after flight one seventy five had crashed into the south tower and making this claim however the commission failed to mention a memo from the f a a is laura brown which said that the teleconference was established within a few minutes after the first tower was struck which would have been about eight fifty the memo also said that the f a a can fade information about all flights of interest which would have included flight one seventy five commissioner richard been nice to read this memo into the commission's record during the hearing in two thousand and three but the commission's final report pretends that this memo did not exist the commission's claim about the military's ignorance of flight one seventy five also a story involving captain michael jelinek a canadian who on nine eleven was overseeing norad headquarters according to this story jelinek was on the phone with needs as he watched one seventy five crash into the south tower and ask was that the hijacked aircraft you were dealing with to which need said yes some more omissions and distortions involve the question of why the twin towers collapsed after being struck by the airliners the commission failed to mention that prior to nine eleven fire had never caused steel frame high rise buildings to collapse he was when the fires were much bigger hotter and longer lasting than the fires and here tower it did not mention in other words that all previous collapses had been caused by carefully placed explosives in a process called controlled demolition the commission also did not mention that the collapse of each tower had at least ten features characteristic of controlled demolitions for example each collapse began suddenly came straight down occurred at virtually freefall speed and produced an enormous amount of dust which happens when explosives pul concrete into tiny particles each collapse was also total with each one hundred ten story building collapsing into a pile of rubble only a few stories high how such a total collapse could occur explosives were not used is a complete mystery because the core of each tower consisted of forty seven massive steel columns the main explanation for the collapse is a pancake theory according to which the floors above the  hole created by the impact broke loose from the columns and fell on the floor below thereby starting a chain reaction but if this is what happened the core columns would have still been sticking a thousand feet into the air the commission handled this problem by simply denying the existence of these core columns saying the interior core of the buildings was a hollow steel shaft another standard feature of a controlled demolitions is of course the occurrence of explosions the oral histories recorded by the new york fire department which were finally released this past august contained dozens of testimonies about multiple explosions in both towers which reinforced previously available testimonies although the commission had access to these oral histories it did not quote any of them this is too bad because the authors of the commission report obviously like colorful quotations and the oral histories contain some pretty good ones for example firefighter thomas to really referring to the south tower said it almost sounded like bombs going off like boom boom boom like seven or eight paramedic daniel rivera describing what he called a frigging noise said do you ever see professional demolition where they set the charges on certain four floors and then you hear pop pop pop pop pop that's exactly what i thought it was firefighter edward referring to the collapse of the south tower said and actually gave it a lower floor not the floor where the plane was hit we originally had thought that there was like an internal detonation explosives because it went in succession boom boom boom boom and then the tower came down assistant fire commissioner stephen gregory said i thought before number two came down i saw a low level flash as i saw flash flash flash at the lower level of the building you know like when they blow up a building firefighter richard bennison s k said there was just an explosion it seemed like on television when they blow up these buildings it seemed like it was going all the way around like a belt all these explosions the question of whether explosives had been used could have been settled by a scientific examination of the steel however even though removing evidence from a crime scene is usually a federal offense the authorities allowed the steel to be quickly removed and sold as scrap metal this removal was protested by the new york times and fire engineering magazine the nine eleven commission however did not mention it the commission also failed to mention mayor giuliani state it made to peter jennings that he had learned in advance that one of the towers was going to collapse the commission did not therefore need to ask giuliani why anyone prior to the collapse of the south tower would have expected it to collapse given the fact there was no objective evidence or historical precedent for such a collapse the commission also did not mention that the o of the company that was in charge of security for the world trade center was work walker the third the president's cousin or that marvin bush the president's brother had been one of the company's directors the commission also it committed many vital facts about the collapse of building seven this collapse is especially important because the collapses of the twin towers are usually attributed partly to the impact of the airplanes but building seven was not struck by a plane and yet it collapsed in essentially the same way showing all the signs of a controlled demolition the commission did not mention these facts it also did not mention that firefighters were were removed from building seven several hours in advance because someone spread word that it was going to collapse he will know there were according to all available photographs fires on only a few of this building's forty seven floors the commission again could have included some interesting quotations from the nine eleven oral histories for example the cost to write a medical technician said i think the fourth floor was on fire we were like are you guys going to put out that fire chief thomas mccarthy said they were waiting for seven world trade to come down they had fire on three separate floors just burning merrily it was pretty amazing you know it's the afternoon in lower manhattan a major high rise building is burning and they say we know but the commission says nothing about this decision not to fight the fires based on advance knowledge that the building was going to collapse the commission also did not mention that larry silverstein the building's owner said on a p b s show that he and the fire department commander decided it would be best to pull the building after which we watched the building collapse remember getting a call from the fire department commander telling me that commission avoided pointing out any of these things by simply not finding any room in its five hundred seventy one page book to mention the fact that building seven collapsed even though it was supposedly the first large steel frame building in history to collapse solely because of fire there are also many emissions and distortions related to flight seventy seven according to that commission's new timeline the f a a did not notify the military about flight seventy seven before it struck the pentagon norad's previous timeline to be sure had said that the f a a had provided this notification at nine twenty four critics had then pointed out that this notification coming fourteen minutes before the pentagon was struck meant that the military should have been able to prevent the strike the commission's news story avoids this problem by simply declaring norad's earlier statement incorrect again ignoring the question of whether norad officials had been lying or were simply afflicted by terrible memories another problem for the commission's claim is that there were three teleconferences going on by then why did the military not learn about flight seventy seven from say the f a a is teleconference which even the commission agreed began by nine twenty because we are told the person at the national military command center in the pentagon who was assigned to this teleconference found it worthless and hence didn't pay attention this account however ignores laura brown's memo which reported that the f a a had conned connected with both the pentagon and norad with which the f a a shared real time information about all the flights of interest including flight seventy seven her memo said in other words that the f a a had told the military about flight seventy seven long before nine twenty four commissioner been in the news that commented on the significance of this statement at the hearing in which he read the memo into the record but the commission wrote its final report as if this mineral and that conversation never occurred the commission also had another problem fighters had clearly taken off from langley air force base at nine thirty that morning norad had said that they were sent up after it had received notification about flight seventy seven hijacking at nine twenty four the commission handled this problem by simply declaring norad statement incorrect but then the commission had to explain why the langley jets took off at nine thirty the commission did this by means of a new concept phantom flight eleven that is the langley fighters that were were really scrambled in response to a false report from the f a a that flight eleven was still a lost and headed towards washington the proof of this claim we are assured is provided by an audio file on which someone from the f a a center in boston told someone at needs about this flight no reporter can confirm this story however because the condition commission was unable to identify the source of this mistaken f a a information but the commission failed to explain why given the sophisticated voice identification techniques now available it could not identify the two individuals on this audio file a turnout of problems in the commission's treatment of the strike on the pentagon the commission claimed that no one knew that an aircraft was headed towards washington until about nine thirty six just a couple minutes before it struck the pentagon but secretary of transportation norman mineta had reported a conversation showing the vice president cheney along with others in the shelter conference room under the white house knew at least ten minutes earlier that an aircraft was approaching the commission in claiming otherwise simply made no mention of minette is report even though it had been given in open testimony to the commission the commission also failed to deal with many problems in the claim that the aircraft that hit the pentagon was flight seventy seven under the control of honey hahn jur for example the aircraft in order to hit the west wing reportedly executed a downward spiral that would have been difficult for an accomplished pilot and yet honduran was known as a terrible pilot the commission handled this problem by admitting conjurers deficiency deficiencies on some pages while claiming elsewhere that he was given this assignment because he was the operations most experienced pilot the commission also failed to point out that if terrorists had wanted to cause maximal death and destruction the west wing would have been their last choice it had been reinforced so the damage was less severe than a strike on any other place of the pentagon would have been it was still being renovated so relatively few people were killed and the secretary of defense and all the top brass were in the east wing as far removed from the west wing as possible the commission also failed to discuss several factors that have led some critics to conclude that the aircraft that hit the pentagon was not even a boeing seven fifty seven this controversy could be cleared up by simply showing the videos that were confiscated from the security camp or cameras at the nearby sheraton hotel and the citgo gas station but the commission failed to subpoena them or even to mention their existence finally the commission claimed that al qaeda hijackers did not strike a nuclear plant because they feared that their plane would be shot down by anti aircraft defenses timbs but the commission failed to discuss whether the pentagon is not protected by some such system which would normally shoot down any aircraft without a u s military transponder there are also many serious omissions and distortions in the commission's treatment of flight ninety three one thing omitted is considerable evidence that flight ninety three was shot down by our own military the commission addressed this question only indirectly by constructing another new timeline according to which the military did not learn about the hijacking of flight ninety three until it had crashed this claim however required ignoring nora brown brown's memo one more time the commission also claimed that the military could not have learned about flight ninety three from the white house video conference organized by richard clarke because it did not include the right officials from both the f a a and the defense department but clarke's book against all enemies state that the f a a was represented by its head jane carvey jane garvey and the defense department was represented by secretary rumsfeld and general richard myers who was then acting chair of the joint chiefs of staff these were surely the right people clarke says moreover that garvey's a list of potential hijackers which the which be read while myers and rumsfeld were listening included united ninety three over pennsylvania the commission's new clime timeline also claimed that the shoot down order was not issued by cheney until after ten ten ten seven or more minutes after flight ninety three had crashed and that the order was not received by richard clarke until ten twenty five the commission omitted the fact however that clarke said that he received the order at about nine fifty the commission also failed to mention that according to a b c news colonel maher need to receive the shoot down order and then instructed fighter pilots to destroy the airliner another part of the commission's new timeline is its claim that the vice president did not arrive in the shoulder conference room until shortly before ten and making this claim however the commission had to ignore many previous reports including norman minette is testimony to the commission itself that cheney was already in charge down there when minetta arrived at nine twenty this is part of the evidence that has led me to the conclusion that the nine eleven commission report has a five hundred seventy one page lie thank you very much there has been a long history we're sitting here in california we stole this from the mexicans by deliberately fabricating an incident where we were in on their property and then they were they were accused of setting american blood on american property the congressman at the time named abraham lincoln called this a shameless lie likewise so when we took over cuba the philippines and ally and a few other islands puerto rico and so on there was a battleship there in the  harbor just put down there for you nobody knows quite why and there was a big explosion on the battleship this of course the battleship maine and everybody knows the slogan remember the maine to hell with spain and it's still a mystery exactly what happened but we certainly used it as an incident and accused spain falsely of having blown up the main it's the last thing spain would have done likewise the war in the philippines the following year was started by an incident that the the soldier in charge admitted that he was told to start the war as an incident and so on and of more more recently people know about the gulf of tonkin that those events never happened  which really when the vietnam war went full scale so there is a long history and there's also the famous or notorious operations northwards document when general highs and howard was just about to leave office he desperately wanted to invade cuba to get rid of fidel castro but time ran out the plan the plan passed over to president kennedy but then there was the little bay of pigs fiasco kennedy took cuban planning away from the cia gave it to the joint chiefs of staff they came in with this plan which would involve killing american citizens and blaming the cubans as a pretext to invade cuba kennedy turned down another president might have accepted it but those the documents have now been published and many people know about him through james bamford's work house of secrets about the national security agency so there is a long history of planning fabricating inciden s there's a whole question about the original pearl harbor which i don't go into in my book but certainly robert's net has made a very strong claim for the old idea but  gives much more evidence for it that we knew full well that those attacks were coming and in fact that we actually squeeze the japanese until they saw a they believe they had no choice but to make that preemptive attack so yes there is a very long history so most many people who reject the idea that there could be any kind of conspiracy do it on an all priori basis they just say say well our government would never do such a thing our military is so protective of human rights and the precious sacredness of every human life they would never do anything like this well people just need to learn the history and realize that three thousand lives taken on nine eleven in terms of the kind of cost benefit analysis that the military is trained to do and that the c i a is trained to do this was a very  what they would call a high cost benefit operation when you look at the unarmed that enterprise you're talking about tens of thousands of americans killed after we knew the war was futile after we knew we could not win and we were simply fighting to save american credibility tens of thousands were sacrificed so to kill three thousand on nine eleven given that kind of mindset things in those terms this was not a bad price to pay well the immediate thing of course is if you become convinced you've got criminals in the white house get rid of them more long term we need to overcome  richest one to five percent of the country calls the shots for america and therefore calls the shots for the world so we need to this may sound simplistic but the the biggest single step we could take would be to get rid of all private financing of elections that's why these politicians cannot tell the truth that's why they can't buck the corporations that's why we only get rich people or people who are sponsored by rich corporations who can run for national office so we need public financing so that honest people can can get in the government and pass laws and then we can get honest people in the white house who will execute those laws so i would say that would be the next thing and thirdly i work for global democracy and in my forthcoming book solve the describing the michael meacher and andreas found two former ministers the german served under helmut schmidt twenty five years ago more recently the brit was a minister in blair's war government these two experienced politicians have grave doubts about what the americans call the war on terrorism more importantly they think there's a lot more behind september eleventh than we're allowed to know you have to consider what happened before nine eleven at nine eleven and afterwards and i think a much better explanation than the war on terror which i think is bogus is given by the project for the new american century document that was written in september two thousand just before the or in the course of the u s presidential election which brought george bush to power it was written by a neo conservative think tank  it was called strengthening america's defenses and what it says i think gives a much better explanation of what happened before nine eleven why nine eleven was such a disaster and why after nine reorganizing the american armed forces this document forms the basis of bush's military foreign policy it says after the collapse of the soviet union the united states around toward spending more money on this struggle for world domination and exactly one year later this new pearl harbor happened and the government immediately said this is our new pearl harbor rebuilding america's defenses was not america's first research into possible threats to the country hundred ninety seven jimmy carter security adviser zbigniew brzezinski was worried about the lack of american control in central asia and the middle east in his book the grand chessboard he claimed that control could only be gained by pursuing a much more aggressive foreign policy including warfare at the same time brzezinski realized the americans didn't really want a war he claimed this attitude was only likely to change after a complete disruption my wife was in the kitchen and called out me something terrible has happened i saw and my first reaction was i who has anything to gain by the us it's simply followed what was happening  eleventh enabling bush to pursue an aggressive foreign policy you have to consider what happened for nine eleven at nine eleven and afterwards before nine eleven  s administration received a great deal of information that's an attack was coming first of all the eleven countries including the u k which gave their intelligence to the u authorities to that effect mossad sent two experts in august two thousand and one one month before nine eleven to the states with a list of two hundred islamic suspects  i agent wanted to investigate his computer which we now know contains some clues as to nine eleven but the information came through from the top levels of a c f b i that they didn't want any arrests reacher is referring to the he was arrested by the f b i in august two thousand and one french intelligence claimed he could be linked to osama bin ladin and a possible attack on the united states we had a laptop when he was arrested oddly enough the f b i agents were given permission to investigate it permission wasn't granted until a month later on september eleventh the agents found written july tenth two thousand and one the report was by an f b i branch in phoenix the contents were clear and alarming arabian men were being trained at flying schools and shooting ranges the phoenix i agents advised the phoenix agency insists on investigating these schools and these types of students and to infiltrate this warning was disregarded only two months before the attack or were active to later it became clear that the u s army leadership knew long before the attack about the identity and whereabouts of the leading hijacker mohammed otto intelligence officers were prepared to share this information but the ministry of defense put a stop to that they first hijack latest about eight twenty a m for the next hour and forty minutes air to check on the position and purpose of commercial aircraft why on this single day did it not happen in the previous nine months it happened sixty seven times it was a routine procedure why did this not happen on that very important day that question has never been to summarize eleven countries warned about an attack on the united states the cia received a list with two hundred suspects before september eleventh security advis arise want the president about a hijacking the united states government ignored warnings by several young agents mohamed atta had been identified as a leader of an al qaeda cell in two thousand difference did not give out that information after the hijacking you took one hundred minutes for the first fighter jets to take off remarkable fact had the independent investigators with september eleventh attacks no avoid it happening again and indeed there is one statement it makes which i think sometimes the whole report it is widely known believed that  the official investigation report says is that the u s has never been able to find the sources of financing for nine eleven and then they say this there was a very great deal of evidence and it seems to me extraordinary that united states with its stupendous military capabilities and the most technologically involved country in the world completely and totally failed to follow  i think that nine eleven provided the trigger to enable the us administration under george bush to put in place a geopolitical strategy to sink american control terrorism explains it i would like to know why all the facts about the failure to respond before that and after can be explained if they needed a trigger then finding that an attack was planned was exceedingly convenient pretext and i think they used it governments and people don't like to think of this governments can be ruthless they only think in terms of power what democracy and constitutional states don't play a role that's the philosophy behind it which unfortunately is shared in the united states by both parties people with moral objections don't stand a chance the truth is conspiracies do sometimes occur in history there's no doubt about that when you look at that evidence it is so compelling so comprehensive that it is very difficult in my view to come to a different conclusion from the one that i did what was the september eleventh attack other than an attack was it the great disruption the conservatives were waiting for enabling this new more aggressive united states policy now there is public support in the united states for a war in iraq and afghanistan and threats toward syria iran and korea a cynical politician might say every disadvantage has an advantage are facts they're uncomfortable facts they're shocking facts they play don't play shocking but you have to face up to them could stay high have actually happened and they demand an
