Subject: WTC bombing
Ok, is it just me, or did anyone else recognize that it wasn't the airplane
impacts that blew up the World Trade Center? To me, this is the most
frightening part of this morning. ...
If you watch the time sequence, you'll see that it happens like this:
- A plane hits tower #1, blowing a hole in it high up. The expected things
then happen:
- The building stays up. A reinforced concrete building is *extremely*
strong. Terrorists set off a large bomb *inside* that building without
significant damage. ...
- The second plane hits the second tower, lower and moving faster. It blows
a bigger hole through it, showering debris on the street, but the building
is clearly still standing and still looks quite solid.
- The second building begins burning, also from the impact point up.
- Perhaps a half hour later, the fire in the first building *goes out*. It
is still smouldering and letting off black smoke, but there is no flame. ...
- The fire in the second building goes out.
- Then, later, the second building suddenly crumbles into dust, in a smooth
wave running from the top of the building (above the burned part) down
through all the stories at an equal speed. The debris falls primarily
inward. The tower does not break off intact and collapse into other
buildings. ... The crumbling comes from the top (above the damage). It moves
at a uniform rate. All of the structural members are destroyed in a smooth
pattern, so there is no remaining skeleton. The damage is uniform,
symmetric, and total.
In summary, it looks exactly like a demolition because that's what it is.
- The first tower collapses in a similar demolition wave.
There's no doubt that the planes hit the building and did a lot of damage.
But look at the footage those buildings were *demolished*. To demolish a
building, you don't need all that much explosive but it needs to be placed
in the correct places (in direct contact with the structural members) and
ignited in a smooth, timed sequence. ...

This message was posted to the internet on September 11th, within hours of
the collapse of the Twin Towers. Right from the beginning, some people were
not deceived.
Initially the explosives theory suffered from the problem that the
mainstream media did not report that anyone heard explosions just prior to
the WTC collapse. But in the last year reports have surfaced, and there is
now even video evidence available to anyone which shows that explosions
actually did occur within the Twin Towers prior to their collapse.
Television viewers watching the horrific events of Sept. 11 saw evidence of
explosions before the towers collapsed. Televised images show what appears
to be a huge explosion occurring near ground level, in the vicinity of the
47-story Salomon Brothers Building, known as WTC 7, prior to the collapse of
the first tower.
... One eyewitness whose office is near the World Trade Center told AFP that
he was standing among a crowd of people on Church Street, about
two-and-a-half blocks from the South tower, when he saw "a number of brief
light sources being emitted from inside the building between floors 10 and
15." He saw about six of these brief flashes, accompanied by "a crackling
sound" before the tower collapsed. Each tower had six central support
columns.
One of the first firefighters in the stricken second tower, Louie Cacchioli,
51, told People Weekly on Sept. 24: "I was taking firefighters up in the
elevator to the 24th floor to get in position to evacuate workers. On the
last trip up a bomb went off. We think there were bombs set in the
building."
Kim White, 32, an employee on the 80th floor, also reported hearing an
explosion. "All of a sudden the building shook, then it started to sway. We
didn't know what was going on," she told People. "We got all our people on
the floor into the stairwell ... at that time we all thought it was a fire
... We got down as far as the 74th floor ... then there was another
explosion." Eyewitness Reports Persist Of Bombs At WTC Collapse
A Danish website offers a 4-hour video containing visual evidence of what
happened on September 11th which has been suppressed or ignored by the
mainstream media:
Video Clips of the falling Towers were often edited in a manner that
prevented the TV viewers in getting the "Full picture" of the entire tower
collapse. ... During my 1000 hours of video investigation I have found only
very few of such "Full picture long distance shots" which showed the entire
tower (from top to bottom). Most of the video-clips we saw on Sept. 11 (and
in the weeks that followed) would be edited versions ... [which] did not
give any evidence of the numerous "clouds" from EXPLODING Bombs "popping out
of the windows" of the WTC facade far below the crash level of the
collapsing tower. ... Someone in the "editing rooms" did not want to give us
the "Full Picture"!
But some crucial BOMB video evidence did in fact get out! In my video I will
show you 5 significant "DUST CLOUDS" from Demolition Bombs exploding INSIDE
the WTC Towers. These "Bomb Clouds" were located circa 20 and 40 levels
BELOW the "Crash level" of the falling Towers. ... [T]hey give full evidence
of a Distinct Demolition Bomb being exploded FAR BELOW the
"Crash-Point-level". Bombs Inside the World Trade Center
And it was not only the Twin Towers which were demolished deliberately but
also the building known as WTC Seven.
Not detailed in the monopoly press, some fire-fighters who survived Black
Tuesday, contend there were explosions in the buildings, in a portion of the
twin World Trade Center towers, separate and apart from the impact of the
planes hitting the buildings. ... Were within-the-buildings explosives
remotely triggered off to collapse the towers like done with old buildings?
And there are good reasons to believe that within-the-building explosives
caused the mysterious collapse, late on the evening of Black Tuesday, of
World Trade Center Building 7. Sherman H. Skolnick: The Overthrow of the
American Republic, Part 14
The Twin Towers collapsed in a very strange manner, leaving almost nothing
but metal fragments from the outer shell and huge quantities of fine ash and
dust, without the central steel columns from the lower sixty floors either
standing or fallen. This is very strange. Look at all that dust (click on
the image for an enlargement and for two further pictures of the clouds of
dust). It is as if some high-energy disintegration beam had been focused on
the tower, pulverizing every concrete slab into minute particles of ash and
dust.
But although some kind of "black" technology may have been used in the
demolition of the Twin Towers, we do not need to establish this, since their
collapse can be explained as a controlled demolition brought about by
explosives. In fact (as Christopher Bollyn was the first to point out in his
Open Letter) evidence for massive explosions was captured by a seismograph
located 34 km from the WTC:
A "sharp spike of short duration" is how an underground nuclear explosion
appears on a seismograph.
The seismograph which recorded this data was operated by Columbia University
’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. A report was published by the American
Geophysical Union in the November 20 issue of Eos, but the authors
misinterpreted the data. They assumed, and thus reported, that the two
largest signals were caused by the collapses of the Twin Towers. But:
During the collapse, most of the energy of the falling debris was absorbed
by the towers and the neighboring structures, converting them into rubble
and dust or causing other damage but not causing significant ground shaking.
Dr. Arthur Lerner-Lam, Director of Columbia University's Center for Hazards
and Risk Research, as quoted in Earth Institute News
Christopher Bollyn:
Seismic Evidence Points to Underground Explosions Causing WTC Collapse
So if most of the energy of the falling debris was dissipated and was not
the cause of the major spikes in the seismic record then what was? Perhaps
massive explosions in the lowest (level -7) basements of the Twin Towers,
besides the supporting steel columns where they met the Manhattan bedrock?
Perhaps even small nuclear explosions?
This, together with numerous small explosives detonated at every ten or so
levels of the supporting steel columns, would explain one observation which
the official story does not explain: Why were the lower parts of the massive
supporting steel columns not left standing after the collapse? If the
official story is true, that the damage was caused by the impacts and fires,
which occurred only in the upper floors, and that the floors then pancaked,
one would expect the massive steel columns in the central core, for, say,
the lowest 20 or 30 floors, to have remained standing, which they did not.
But this is understandable if the bases of the steel columns were destroyed
by explosions at the level of the bedrock. With those bases obliterated, and
the supporting steel columns shattered by explosions at various levels in
the Twin Towers, the upper floors lost all support and collapsed to ground
level in about ten seconds.
Further evidence for explosives is provided by video evidence of the way in
which the South Tower collapsed: The top thirty or so floors keeled over at
the beginning of the collapse. If the floors had pancaked in the way that
the official story has it then these top floors should have fallen straight
down. But if explosives somewhere in the region of the impact level had
blasted the steel supporting columns in the core then it is understandable
that the top floors tilted over (probably in the direction of the damaged
corner where the plane hit).
The explosive devices could have been encased in heat-resistant material so
that any of them which were exposed to fire would not detonate. If timing
was critical then they could be detonated by remote control (a radio or
microwave signal) at the right time. Even if the fires disabled the bombs on
the levels where the planes hit, they would not disable the bombs on the
floors below the fires. No wires, CPUs or timing devices are needed, just
some way for each explosive device to respond to the unique signal causing
it to explode. Even a timing sequence may not have been needed simultaneous
detonation of each device in the above-ground levels may have been
sufficient to produce the intended result.
The time t required for an object to fall from a height h (in a vacuum) is
given by the formula t = sqrt(2h/g), where g is the acceleration due to
gravity. Thus an object falling from the top of one of the towers (taking h
= 1306 feet and g = 32.174 ft/sec2 ) would take 9.01 seconds to hit the
ground if we ignore the resistance of the air and a few seconds longer if we
take air resistance into account. The Twin Towers collapsed in 10 - 15
seconds, close to free fall. Following the start of the collapse the upper
floors would have had to shatter the steel joints in all 85 or so floors at
the lower levels. If this required only a second per floor then the collapse
would have required more than a minute. But the material from the upper
floors ploughed through the lower floors at a speed of at least six floors
per second. This is possible only if all structural support in the lower 85
or so floors had been completely eliminated prior to the initiation of the
collapse. Since the lower floors were undamaged by the plane impacts and the
fires, the removal of all structural support in these floors must have been
due to some other cause and the most obvious possibility is explosives. Thus
the speed of the collapse (not much more than the time of free fall) is
strong evidence that the Twin Towers were brought down in a controlled
demolition involving the use of explosives (or some other destructive
technology) at all levels.
For a week after the collapse of the Twin Towers there were areas beneath
the surface which remained intensely hot.
AVIRIS data collected on September 16, 2001, revealed a number of thermal
hot spots in the region where the WTC buildings collapsed. Analysis of the
data indicated temperatures greater than 800oF in these hot spots (some over
1300oF). U. S. Geological Survey Report
What was the source of this heat? Could it have been residual heat from
underground nuclear explosions?
The Twin Towers were not the only buildings in the WTC complex about which
questions can be asked. There were other WTC building "collapses".
A way to prove that the supporting steel columns of the Twin Towers had been
blasted by explosives would be to examine fragments from them among the
debris for evidence of what metallurgists call "twinning". But the WTC
debris was removed as fast as possible and no forensic examination of the
debris was permitted by the FBI or any other government agency. Almost all
the 300,000 tons of steel from the Twin Towers was sold to New York scrap
dealers and exported to places like China and Korea as quickly as it could
be loaded onto the ships, thereby removing the evidence. See Debris Mountain
Starts to Shrink , an article which shows that Controlled Demolition Inc. (a
world leader in the demolition of tall buildings) was apparently keen to
have the debris removed and disposed of as soon as possible and was able to
come up with a detailed plan for doing so within eleven days of the collapse
of the Twin Towers, suggesting that this company had detailed knowledge of
the Twin Towers and the entire WTC complex prior to September 11th.
It might be objected that the WTC employed hundreds of security guards and
had hundreds of surveillance cameras (supposedly) operating. With this kind
of security it might be possible to plant a few bombs but planting many (and
especially bombs powerful enough to destroy the foundations of the
supporting steel columns) would seem infeasible. However, the ownership of
the World Trade Center changed hands eleven weeks before the attack. The new
owner was Larry Silverstein . The destruction of the WTC and George W.
Bush's declaration of a "War on Terrorism" has proven to be (and could have
been foreseen to be) of major benefit to Israel in its brutal repression of
the Palestinian people, its efforts to destroy the Palestinian Authority,
which it labels as "terrorist-controlled", and its attempts to dominate all
its Arab neighbors. The new owners of the WTC might well have been persuaded
to cooperate in a scheme of such obvious benefit to Israel. But if eleven
weeks is considered insufficient time to plant explosives then how about
several years? This possibility will be considered in the next section.
6. Did the Twin Towers Collapse on Demand?
When considering the possibility that the Twin Towers were brought down by
explosives there is an interesting variation which is worth considering:
What if the Twin Towers were designed or re-engineered so that they could be
destroyed in a controlled demolition if circumstances required?
What circumstances might lead to an order to demolish the Twin Towers? A
situation in which it was believed that they were in danger of collapsing in
an uncontrolled manner and falling onto the buildings surrounding them in
Manhattan's financial district. In such a case, it might be held, better to
demolish one or both of the towers in a controlled manner so as to minimize
death and destruction in the surrounding area.
A self-destruct mechanism might not have been designed into the Twin Towers
originally, but it might have been added later, especially after the 1993
bombing of the WTC alerted all of America (an in particular, the people
working in the surrounding office buildings) to the possibility that there
might be another attack on the WTC which would succeed in destroying the
towers. It would not be particularly difficult to engineer this possibility.
One simply has to engage the services of a controlled demolition company
(such as Controlled Demolition Inc. to set things up. (This is the company
that hauled away the rubble from the Murrah Building in Okalahoma City after
its demolition and provided a detailed plan to do the same for the WTC
eleven days after September 11th.) Naturally they would be told (if they
wondered at the purpose) that this was a "fail-safe" mechanism, not intended
to be used except to minimize damage in the event of an attack.
So such a company specializing in controlled demolition of large buildings
could study the problem and, with the approval of the owners (the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey prior to July 2001), place explosives
at just those points which would destroy the structural integrity of the
building (if and when detonated) so as to bring the Twin Towers down
precisely in the way the world witnessed on CNN on September 11th.
It has even been suggested that such a self-destruct mechanism was required
in order to prevent companies with offices in the buildings in the vicinity
of the Twin Towers from moving out (fearing for the safety of their premises
and their employees), and was also required to persuade new companies to
rent office space in Lower Manhattan. It has been suggested that the company
directors of large companies with, or considering buying or renting, office
space in the financial district would not agree to keep or to obtain that
office space unless they could be given an assurance that in the event of a
major attack on the WTC, sufficient to destroy the Twin Towers, their
offices would not be damaged significantly and their employees would not be
put in mortal danger. Whether this is true or not is known only by a few,
including the past and present owners of the WTC (and some of their
employees) and the directors of large companies with offices in Lower
Manhattan.
According to this theory, then, the plane (and possibily missile) attacks on
the WTC triggered this fail-safe mechanism, and one or more engineers were
obliged (in consultation with the owners of the WTC or perhaps the owners
acted alone) to decide whether the damage to one or both of the towers was
sufficient that there was a significant danger that they would collapse in
an uncontrolled manner upon the surrounding areas, and that it was thus
necessary to push the button which would detonate the charges and bring the
towers down, which they did.
[Testifying before a congressional inquiry] Gene Corley of the American
Society of Civil Engineers, said the Port Authority [of New York and New
Jersey] refused to hand over blueprints for the twin towers crucial for
evaluating the wreckage until he signed a waiver saying his team would not
use the plans in a lawsuit against the agency [that is, against FEMA]. New
York Daily News, 2002-03-07
Was this because a close examination of the blueprints might reveal clues
that the Twin Towers had been engineered to make possible a controlled
demolition? And that FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) was
aware of this?
Since it was this very same FEMA which took charge of the "investigation"
into the WTC collapse (and is about to release a report claiming that the
fires caused the collapse) one might be forgiven for suspecting that their
"investigation" has been something less than an unbiased attempt to discover
the truth of what happened.
Assume now, for the sake of argument, that a "fail-safe" mechanism as
described above was actually engineered into the Twin Towers (probably in
the mid-1990s). The explanation given above, of the collapse of the Twin
Towers, still leaves open one important question: Did those who demolished
the Twin Towers on the morning of September 11th plan in advance to do so?
Did they have prior knowledge of the plan to strike the towers and was the
controlled demolition of the Twin Towers (and the deaths of thousands of
people in the buildings) already planned by the perpetrators of the attacks
and those who assisted them?
Given the existence of the fail-safe mechanism, a small number of people
would have known about it, including officials at FEMA and possibly
including the most senior members of the Manhattan business community
(especially if such a mechanism was there to persuade them to remain in
Manhattan). Even though this mechanism was presumably built in to the Twin
Towers hoping it would never be used, some people would know that it was
there and that it could be used provided one had the authority to initiate
the demolition procedure and an arguably sufficient reason to exercise that
authority.
Who had such authority? Presumably the owners of the World Trade Center
(though perhaps they could not have pushed the button without first
obtaining permission from FEMA).
Most of the World Trade Center changed hands in a $3.2 billion, 99-year
lease deal that was concluded only seven weeks before the attack; with a
sweetheart tax deal and new insurance covering buildings and rents payable
to new beneficiaries. The Blockbuster
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey signed the deal with the
Silverstein-led Westfield America on the 26th April, 2001. Westfield America
leased the concourse mall, and [Larry] Silverstein the office portion.
The deal was finalized and celebrated on the 23rd July just seven weeks
before almost the entire complex was destroyed. Port Authority officers gave
a giant set of keys to the complex to Silverstein and to Westfield CEO Lowy.
Silverstein was ecstatic at that time. "This is a dream come true," he had
said. "We will be in control of a prized asset, and we will seek to develop
its potential, raising it to new heights." An ironic choice of words, in
retrospect. The Blockbuster
The "arguably sufficient reason" was provided by the impacts and the
subsequent structural damage and fire. According to this scenario, then, the
purpose of the impacts was not themselves to destroy the Twin Towers but
rather to provide the "justification" for detonating the explosives which
brought them down in a controlled demolition.
FEMA The Secret Government
We arrived on, uh, late Monday night [September 10th] and went into action
on Tuesday morning [September 11th]; and not until today did we get a full
opportunity to work, uh, the entire site.Tom Kenny (FEMA), speaking to CBS
anchor Dan Rather on September 12th.
7. The Perpetrators
The person who, shortly after the attacks on the WTC, was announced as "the
prime suspect" (without any evidence), and quickly promoted to "the
mastermind behind the attacks", was Usama bin Laden, who has made no secret
of his animosity toward the U.S. for its support and funding of Israel's
brutality toward the Palestinians, for what he sees as the Americans'
defilement of Saudi Arabia (the location of two of the three holiest Islamic
sites), the continued bombing of Iraq and the Americans' support of the (as
he sees them) apostate regimes of Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The contempt with
which the U.S. is regarded by many Arab organizations (not to mention many
non-Arab organizations), and the involvement of Arabs in the ineffective
bombing of the WTC in 1993, means that Arabs are automatically suspected in
any terrorist attack against the U.S. (as they were in the Oklahoma City
Bombing until the government announced that Timothy McVeigh was the
culprit).
Within hours of the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon Dan Rather
and other mainstream media whores were quoting unidentified "government
sources" as stating that Usama bin Laden was the culprit. As the WTC bombers
intended, most Americans immediately believed this claim and continue to
regard him as the perpetrator of this atrocity and the entire Arab world as
their enemy (a reaction welcomed by many in Israel). Many people in Arab
countries also believe he did it because for them Usama bin Laden
personifies the resentment against American exploitation of the Third World
which they themselves feel. But Usama bin Laden has never said that he was
behind the September 11th attack, and, indeed, has explicitly denied this.
I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in
the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had
no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent
women, children and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly
forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people. Such a
practice is forbidden even in the course of a battle. It is the United
States, which is perpetrating every maltreatment on women, children and
common people ... Usama bin Laden, Interview with Pakistani newspaper Ummat
(Karachi), September 28, 2001. Full text here.
After one of the video broadcasts from the Al-Jazeera TV station in Qatar
(which, as has been pointed out elsewhere, may have been a Western-concocted
forgery, since Usama bin Laden, or someone impersonating him, is shown
wearing a U.S. Army jacket much as if Churchill had delivered his wartime
speeches wearing a swastika armband and the uniform of a Luftwaffe colonel)
Condoleeza Rice declared that this was an "admission" by Usama bin Laden of
responsibility for the September 11th attack. It was not, but by claiming it
was she maintains the official line of blaming "Arab terrorists" and draws
attention away from the true perpetrators of this atrocity.
Since the Twin Towers could be brought down by the use of explosives, why
bother to crash commercial jets into them? The reason is that the demolition
expertise required is certainly beyond the capabilities of any Arab
terrorists (especially if nuclear devices were used). Had the Twin Towers
simply been demolished in the way that they were then many questions would
have been asked as to how this happened. A story that Arab terrorists
detonated explosives which completely destroyed the buildings would not
withstand criticism, so some other "plausible" explanation for the collapse
of the towers had to be provided and this was done in the form of the plane
impacts and subsequent fires. This "explanation" had an initial
plausibility, and it was immediately broadcast by the mainstream media, and
immediately accepted by a public in a state of shock. Only a careful
examination of this story, such as has been done in J. McMichael's article,
reveals that it is full of holes.
The aim all along was to place the blame on "Arab terrorists". It would have
been difficult to explain how a band of men "of Middle-Eastern appearance"
had gained the necessary access to many levels of the Twin Towers to plant
the required explosives and had acquired the demolition expertise to
demolish the Twin Towers in a professional manner. But many people would
readily believe a story that Arab "terrorists" had hijacked commercial
jetliners and flown them into the Twin Towers on a "suicide mission". So
that was the story that was put out, with the help of the many "journalists"
in the mainstream media who are tools of the CIA, lying to the American
people whenever requested to do so.

The attacks against the WTC and the Pentagon were brought to us by the same
group of people (though "human" may not be the correct term for them) who
gave us the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing and the Oklahoma City Bombing.
There is evidence that the former was actually planned and directed, not by
Arab terrorists (who were merely the operatives), but by the FBI.
The mastermind [of the 1993 WTC bombing] is the government of the United
States. It was a phony, government-engineered conspiracy to begin with. It
would never have amounted to anything had the government not planned it. Ron
Kuby, defense attorney, quoted in Troubling Questions in Troubling Times
In the Oklahoma City Bombing explosives were placed by the structural
supports of the Murrah Federal Building, demolishing it and killing hundreds
of people. The psy-war propaganda experts then succeeded in convincing the
more gullible among the American people that this was the work of one or two
men using a truck full of ammonium nitrate. (Some of the high-explosive
devices planted within the building did not explode, were seen by four
witnesses after the attack, and were removed by the FBI but were never
officially mentioned.) Within a few days of the bombing the
Counter-Terrorism Bill was passed by Congress, a piece of legislation which
provided for secret trials and seizure of assets without due process of law,
and which foreshadowed the so-called Patriot Act passed by Congress one
month after the events of September 11th.

An examination of the evidence, as above and as done in other websites ,
shows that (i) the Twin Towers were not brought down by the plane impacts
and the fires but rather by massive explosions and (ii) what caused the
damage to the Pentagon was certainly not a Boeing 757 but more likely an
F-16 jet or a cruise missile. This excludes "Arab terrorists" as the
perpetrators because (i) only a small number of American demolition
companies have the expertise to demolish tall buildings in the way that the
Twin Towers collapsed and (ii) only the American military has and can use
F-16s and cruise missiles (at least, within U.S. airspace). The perpetrators
of these atrocities were Americans, and they must have occupied (and
continue to occupy) high positions within the U.S. government and the U.S.
military to have been able to do what they did and (so far) get away with
it.
The Enemy is Very Much Within (168 KB)
The enormity of the atrocity of the attack on the Twin Towers is made worse
by its being perpetrated, not by external enemies of America, but from
within by a secret group of traitors who may be American-born but who care
nothing for American national pride since for them control of the U.S. is
just a means toward total control of the planet. For at least forty years
this group of traitors (most of whom are present or former occupants of the
White House or are working or have worked in those U.S. government
organizations whose activities are hidden behind a cloak of "national
security", or are high-level military officers) has controlled the U.S.
government by subversion of its democratic institutions, has manipulated a
gullible American population and the political leadership of other countries
by the skillful use of propaganda (with the help of shamelessly compliant
and Jewish-dominated "news" organizations), has ruthlessly exploited the
economic resources of the Earth for its own profit, and must now be laughing
and congratulating itself that its lies appear to have been believed by
almost everyone and that its plans for complete economic and military
conquest of the entire planet are coming along so nicely thanks to the
stupidity of the American people, who appear to be mostly incapable of
thinking about anything except their own amusement (if they are well-off, or
their own economic survival if they are not) and who are willing to believe
whatever their lying government tells them.
But just as the attempt by the predecessors of these traitors to establish a
"Thousand-Year Reich" resulted in complete and ignominious defeat, their
plans also may yet come to naught, though at what cost to the American
people and the rest of the world remains to be seen.
The situation may actually be much worse than this. The evil which has been
perpetrated by these traitors, acting through the U.S. government, its
military and its multinationals, the IMF and other institutions, over many
years, is sufficiently great that one has to wonder whether the instigators
have any concern at all for the welfare and dignity of the human species.
The ultimate instigators of this atrocity (and of the larger drive to
enslave, or perhaps exterminate, the entire population of the planet) may
actually not be human at all. If so, we have a real problem.
8. The "War on Terrorism"
We cannot let terrorists and rogue nations hold this nation hostile or hold
our allies hostile. George W. Bush, Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 21, 2000
In a speech to a joint session of Congress on September 17th, 2001, Bush
announced that America was embarked upon a "War on Terrorism" (in that
speech he used the words "terror", "terrorist" and "terrorism" at total of
32 times, and "war" twelve times, so no-one would fail to get the message).
But before the U.S. retaliated by bombing Afghanistan day and night for
weeks it should first have established exactly who instigated, planned and
directed the terrorist attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon. Despite the
attempt to blame nineteen Arabs, allegedly the hijackers of the four planes,
this was not done. Such evidence, if it were ever produced (and, of course,
it will never be produced), must be such as to convince third parties such
as the Europeans, and the evidence must be made public (not every last
detail, but enough to establish the case). Insiders such as the U.S.
President, the British Prime Minister and the NATO Secretary-General
declaring themselves "convinced" is insufficient. Such declarations will
fool some people, but these officials are literally warmongers and will do
anything to justify their waging of war, including lying to the public about
the convincingness of the alleged evidence. Only when convincing evidence
has been made public, and the identity of the attackers established, would
it be possible to declare "war" without misuse of language. Until then the
"War on Terrorism" will be a propaganda campaign like the "War on Drugs" a
way of disguising the true aims and motivations of those waging this "war",
which in this case is that age-old motivation: territorial and economic
conquest.
But, of course, the U.S. government will never reveal who exactly planned
and directed these attacks, firstly because it was an inside job, and
secondly because blame must be laid upon "Arab terrorists" in order to
"justify" the "War on Terrorism" and the military assaults upon Arab
countries (recently and, as the U.S. and Britain plan at least, for years to
come; indeed, in the words of one Pentagon official, possibly "for the rest
of our lives").
The "War on Terrorism" has three major components:
(1) A propaganda war waged firstly against the American people and secondly
against the rest of the people on this planet who have access to TV and
newspapers.
(2) A large increase in the powers of surveillance and control exercised by
the U.S. federal government over U.S. citizens and residents and in the
ability of the government to impose censorship.
(3) The use of American military force (with help mainly from the British),
to whatever extent necessary , to gain control of the oil reserves of the
Caspian Basin, the mineral wealth of Central Asia and whatever other
economic resources in other parts of Asia that the U.S. wishes to control.
The purpose of (1) is to disguise the true nature of (3) by presenting it as
the use of military force to protect Americans against future terrorist
attacks. The purpose of (2) is to stifle any protest and dissent from those
Americans who are not fooled by (1) and who object to (3). Bush, Rumsfeld,
Ashcroft & Co. know from the 1960s demonstrations against the Vietnam War
that domestic opposition to military aggression abroad can bring that
aggression to an end, and they wish to make sure in advance that the same
thing will not happen this time.
The American government says that America is "at war" (as if that justifies
anything the government wishes to do). But a war requires an identifiable
enemy. A war is a war between two or more opposing sides. A "war" in which
one side is invisible is a fantasy a pretext to restrict civil liberties, to
impose censorship and to deny rights guaranteed to American citizens under
the U.S. Constitution. It is a tool for psychological operations directed
against both domestic and foreign populations, for deceiving the American
people and others and persuading them to submit willingly to violations of
their human rights. (Though one might say that if they do submit then they
deserve the enslavement that will come to them.) And in this case, as noted
above, the purpose is to suppress any domestic opposition to U.S. military
action abroad. And at home; remember that the U.S. military has been used
against American citizens before at Waco.
What is too shocking for many Americans to contemplate is that the terrorist
attacks, from which the people of the U.S. are supposed to be protected by
the "War on Terrorism", are themselves part of the propaganda war. In order
to "justify" to the American people the U.S. bombing of Afghanistan and the
deaths of Afghan civilians, the violent overthrow of the (admittedly
reprehensible) Taleban government, the deployment of U.S. ground troops to
sieze territory in Afghanistan and in other countries, and the use of
whatever weapons of death the Pentagon plans to use (including "low yield"
nuclear weapons), the U.S. must present its actions as being morally good
and noble (as in World War II), specifically, as motivated by the desire to
protect decent, innocent American citizens from the evil of terrorist
attacks.
Thus the American people are presented with staged photo ops such as that of
the firemen raising the American flag (this was filmed by the NYPD video
team), which most people would (subconsciously at least) associate with the
raising of the American flag on Iwo Jima in World War II in the noble fight
against the evil fascist forces of Imperialist Japan.
Without terrorist attacks there is no justification for the military action,
so terrorist attacks there must be (or at least, the perpetual fear of
such). The attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon were the first (unless we
count the Waco Massacre and the Oklahoma City Bombing ), brought to you by
those people who are directing the propaganda campaign and, indeed,
scripting this entire "War on Terrorism". And (as the CIA informed members
of Congress in early October 2001) it is certain that there will be more
terrorist attacks (how did they know?) most of them far less spectacular
than the destruction of the Twin Towers, but sufficient (such as the
controlled release of anthrax bacteria, probably by the CIA itself) to
induce in the American public a state of constant fear made worse by their
not knowing who is really behind these attacks.
Does the WTC attack feel like a movie? It does? Well of course it does! It
has been specifically written as a movie script. ... This entire sequence
of: hijack; first plane; second plane; Pentagon ;WTC collapse; phone calls
from the planes; copy of the Koran; more attempted hijackings; arrests;
plucky passengers; etc., etc., has been scripted by a crew of cynical
planners who could care less that REAL people died in the Twin Towers. Tall
Tales of the Wag Movie
In March 2002 U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney toured the Middle East trying
to drum up Arab support for a second American-led war against Iraq. He was
politely informed by Arab leaders to crawl back into his hole. So the Bush
administration now needs another Big Catastrophe on American soil to justify
the war they want to wage against Iraq.
"I think that the prospects of a future [terrorist] attack on the U.S. are
almost a certainty." Dick Cheney, speaking on Fox News, 2002-05-19
Look for something like a low-yield nuclear explosion in the vicinity of
Washington D.C. (downwind from the White House and far enough away from
Langley that the spooks won't have to evacuate), sufficient to scare the
congresscritters into going into the underground bunkers that have been
prepared for them, after which America will be entirely in the hands of
George W. Bush's "shadow government".

In the meantime, and just in time for the mid-term Congressional elections,
we have the 2002-10-12 terrorist bombing at Kuta in Bali. It seems likely
that this was the work of the same people who carried out the attacks of
September 11th. It was a psychological operation directed mainly against the
people of Australia, most of whom are opposed to their government's support
of America's plans to wage war on Iraq. For a fuller consideration of this
matter see:
The Meaning of the Kuta Bombing
Wars end when one of the opposing sides is beaten into submission and can no
longer fight. But if one side is invisible then the war can never end,
because there is no way to know that the opposing side has been defeated.
Indeed, if the American people begin to believe that perhaps the "terrorist
threat" has begun to recede you can be sure that another "terrorist attack"
will occur, courtesy of those scripting the "War on Terrorism", which will
return them to their former state of fear and dread, which is just where the
perpetrators want them to be. The "enemy" will remain an invisible,
diabolical presence, unseen except for its evil effects when "the
terrorists" attack again. The American people have entered what may be a
long, drawn-out, nightmare, in which nothing will be what it seems. It is
The Towering Inferno, Armageddon and The X-Files suddenly emerging into
daily life.
The "War on Terrorism" is the psy-war successor to the "War on Drugs". It
has been clear to almost everyone for quite some time that the "War on
Drugs" is totally discredited, and those who are informed know that it is
basically a component in a huge and long-running scam whereby the U.S.
government finances its covert operations and (in part) its military by
means of its profits from its international drug trafficking (see
Prohibition: The So-Called War on Drugs for details). It became clear to the
U.S. government, especially in view of the tolerance and regulation of drug
use adopted in recent years in many European countries, that it can no
longer maintain its "War on Drugs" with any degree of credibility. Thus the
people of the U.S. had to be hoodwinked into supporting a new "War", and the
bogeyman of "militant Arab fundamentalists" (helped greatly by a
Jewish-dominated mainstream media and terrorist attacks on the WTC in 1993,
probably provoked by the FBI, and on US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, in
which US Army explosives had reportedly been used) provided a useful target.
This "War on Terrorism", like the "War on Drugs", will involve the usual
propaganda techniques such as lies, deception, misrepresentation of
opposition viewpoints, disinformation, fake opposition and media emphasis on
what is irrelevant (for example, that Mohammed Atta may have contacted an
Iraqi intelligence agent in Prague of only minor interest since there were
no on-board hijackers and he and the other Arabs on board were set up to
take the blame). The propaganda campaign will continue until the instigators
and scripters of this "War" believe they have finally gained domination over
all countries and have attained control of the entire planet and all its
economic resources or until they themselves have been defeated.
9. Wars for Oil
If we neglect the fact that in the 19th Century the U.S. stole what has
become the continental United States from its original inhabitants, the
Native American Indians (killing millions of them in the process), we have
to say that the U.S. began its imperialist program in 1898 when it annexed
the Philippines to benefit American companies wanting to exploit the land
and the people. Since then it has maintained the same predatory attitude to
the rest of the world.
Skipping over a long history of U.S. imperialist aggression against other
countries, we may note that the U.S. did not go to war in the Persian Gulf i
n 1991 to liberate Kuwait from Iraqi aggression (to which its ambassador to
Iraq, April Glaspie, had given a green light) but rather to move military
forces into the area and to establish military bases so as to exercise
greater control over the area's oil. Talk of removing "that evil dictator
Saddam Hussein" is simple obfuscation. Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are lying
to the American people when they pretend to be outraged at the actions of
the Iraqi dictator (whom the U.S. supported right up until 1991, including
Saddam's use of chemical weapons against the Kurds). In fact it is control
of Middle Eastern oil which is the primary motivation for U.S. military
plans for that area.
Even before assuming the office of President it was announced by George W.
Bush that war was planned.
And so one of Secretary [of Defense] Rumsfeld's first tasks will be ... to
develop a strategy necessary to have a force equipped for warfare of the
21st century. George W. Bush, Washington DC, December 28, 2000
And, conveniently enough, the attacks of September 11th provided just the
excuse needed for a yet greater military build up (and justification for
Bush's $344 billion war budget) in particular the already-planned
development of "defensive" missiles, allegedly to foil attacks by
"international terrorists" (even though they neither possess nor need
intercontinental nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles), but which might also
prove quite useful in defending the U.S. from retaliation by any nation
which it chooses to attack.
WE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED to save succeeding
generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought
untold sorrow to mankind ... Preamble to the Charter of the United Nations
As a member of the United Nations the U.S. has committed itself to the
principles expressed in the Charter. Since 1980, however, the U.S. has
consistently flouted these principles, abrogating treaties and attacking
other nations without international consent.
Indeed, the U.S. government, in violation of the United Nations charter and
international law, has now given itself permission in the form of a
congressional resolution to attack whoever it wants to, to engage openly in
political assassinations in the manner of Israel, and generally to wage war
upon whoever it chooses to label as its enemy. Already the number of
innocent civilians who have died as a result of U.S. military action (in
Afghanistan) is greater than the number of those who died in the WTC attack.
But, of course, since those killed were not Americans, British or
Australians, this is of no concern, except insofar as it might result in
international condemnation, making it difficult to maintain the
"international coalition" that the U.S. seeks to provide a fig-leaf for its
planned military aggression against those countries which decline to accede
to its demands. And, by the way, such aggression and the collateral regional
wars that it will cause in various parts of Asia will, of course, be good
for U.S. arms manufacturers, and other American companies with friends in
the U.S. government, which profit from war.
Not only did Bush announce a "War on Terrorism", he even spoke stupidly of a
"crusade", invoking memories of the medieval Christian crusades against
Islam to recover "the Holy Land" (conveniently forgetting that the Crusaders
held Palestine for a comparatively brief period before they were defeated by
Muslim forces under Saladin on July 4th, 1187, and subsequently driven into
the sea). These days, for some people, oil is the holy grail, and recovery
of the Holy Land means gaining control of the oil fields, the primary reason
why America has given itself permission to invade whatever countries it
chooses to.
And it's not just Middle Eastern oil there are huge oil deposits in the
Caspian Basin (larger than in Saudia Arabia). In 1998 Unocal testified
before the House Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific that a pipeline across
Afghanistan was crucial to transport Caspian Basin oil to the Indian Ocean.
Bush and the American oil companies would dearly like to lay such a pipeline
across Afghanistan but they could not do so while the Taleban ruled
Afghanistan because the Taleban demanded
too large a per centage as their cut for allowing the pipeline project to
proceed. Hence, the oil monopoly needs to overthrow the Kabul government,
install their own government, and proceed with the pipeline project. Sherman
H. Skolnick, The Overthrow of the American Republic, Part 2
George Monbiot:
America's Pipe Dream
In fact from February to August 2001 the Bush administration conducted
detailed negotiations with the Taliban to lay this hoped-for pipeline across
Afghanistan and Pakistan so as to profit from lucrative sales to oil-hungry
Asian countries. In August the negotiations broke down, after a U.S.
negotiator threatened military action against the Taliban, saying, accept
our offer of a carpet of gold or you will get a carpet of bombs (see Bin
Laden: The Forbidden Truth). One month later the rationale for the
carpet-bombing was provided by the destruction of the WTC.
And, sure enough, in September 2002 plans for this pipeline were being
implemented.
Oil ministers from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan [were] to meet in
the Afghan capital Kabul Monday [2002-09-16] to review progress on the
1,500-kilometer, $2billion Afghan-Pakistan-Turkmenistan gas pipeline,
officials said. ... The pipeline is to carry gas from Turkmenistan's
Dauletabad-Donmez field to Afghanistan and Multan, Pakistan. It is supported
by the United States. Islamic Republic News Agency
And in December 2002 the deal was signed.
Turkmen President Sapamurat Niyazov, Pakistani Prime Minister Zafarullah
Jamali and Afghan President Hamid Karzai finalised a vital gas pipeline
agreement here on Thursday [2002-12-26]. The leaders of the three countries
would sign the framework agreement to build the 1,500-kilometre
Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan (TAP) gas pipeline project from
Turkmenistan's Dauletabad fields across Afghanistan to Pakistan on Friday.

As is obvious, the modern West (and those countries which have followed its
lead) have been built on a ruthless exploitation of the Earth's resources,
particularly oil. For these countries oil is an addiction, and there is no
political will to break the habit. The hyperactivity of the global economy
during the last century is like the hyperactivity of a speed freak, and in
the end both will crash. If the dominance of the oil industry over
government is not broken then in the near future of the human race global
famine and disease are a certainty (and don't think Americans, Europeans or
Australians will be spared).
The System may or may not understand that it's only buying time. And that
time is an artificial resource to begin with, of no value to anyone other
than the System, which must sooner or later crash to its death, when its
addiction to energy has become more than the rest of the World can supply,
dragging with it innocent souls all along the chain of life. Thomas Pynchon,
Gravity's Rainbow
And, by the way, there's something in Central Asia that's a lot more
profitable than oil. This region has the main transit routes for Afghani
heroin being smuggled to Western countries. When one recalls that American
military cargo planes were returning from Central America in the 1980s
loaded with cocaine for distribution in the U.S. by the CIA and the Mafia
one has to wonder what might be in American military cargo planes currently
flying out of recently-established U.S. bases and airports in Uzbekistan and
Kyrgyzstan.
10. The Demise of Liberty
Immediately after the events of September 11th there were calls for greatly
increased security at airports and on planes, and many millions of U.S.
taxpayers' dollars were spent on this. Troops with automatic rifles stand
around at airports, waiting for the next gang of Arab terrorists to burst
into the departure lounge shouting "God is great!" in Arabic and threatening
everyone with box cutters. Airport check-in now takes hours, passengers are
subjected to invasive searches before boarding planes, women are fondled
under the pretext of searching for weapons hidden in bras, and if you look
Middle Eastern then you may not be allowed to fly at all. Indeed, you do not
even have to look Middle Eastern; numerous people have been prevented from
boarding their domestic flights because they are on a "watch list" of
political or environomental activists suspected of holding views opposed to
those of the U.S. government (a way to prevent them from visiting friends
and colleagues and from travelling to conferences).
All this is insulting, offensive, useless, irrelevant and in some cases
illegal, and is a major disruption in the lives of ordinary Americans,
because, as noted above, there were no suicide pilots . No hijackers boarded
the four doomed planes carrying knives and box cutters, so installing
expensive security equipment at airports and treating every passenger as a
potential hijacker is not only an insult but is also a complete waste of
time and money (though it is sure to make a lot of money for the
manufacturers of airport security equipment).
Those who planned the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon would have
realized that, although it was possible to crash planes into the Twin Towers
under remote control, this would in itself have produced only huge damage,
with perhaps hundreds of lives lost, which was not enough. What they needed
was the destruction of both towers completely, for maximum psychological
effect upon the people of the U.S. and the world and for the provocation of
a hysterical reaction from the American people directed against Arabs and
the Islamic world. Thus they needed to arrange for the demolition and total
collapse of the Twin Towers following the plane impacts. This was
accomplished by the use of explosives, as discussed in Section 5.
The demolition of the WTC was part of an ongoing plan (in effect since the
Kennedy assassination if not before) to destroy the American Republic
(what's left of it anyway) and replace it by a de facto dictatorship (as
part of the drive toward a global dictatorship in the form of a world
government).
Just as the Oklahoma City Bombing created a situation conducive to the
government's rushing through "anti-terrorist" legislation this "Attack on
America" provided a further nice justification for eliminating whatever
civil liberties the American people had up to now managed to hold on to. In
the name of "safety" and "security" the "authorities" now have a "legal"
right (the appropriate legislation has already been passed by a compliant
and corrupt Congress under the guise of "an emergency anti-terrorist
package") to do whatever they want to monitor and control the entire
population. Anyone accused of being "a threat to the safety and security of
the American people" (in reality, to the state and those who control it)
will find themselves imprisoned without benefit of trial (if they do not
"disappear" completely as did many of the victims of Chile's DINA secret
police). Already in mid-October 2001 the FBI announced the arrest of more
than 600 people, "refusing to identify most of the detainees and offering
few details about why the government wanted them behind bars."
(International Herald Tribune, October 15, 2001) By December the number had
grown to over 1,200, with only about a dozen of those persons charged with a
crime, and with only one of them, Zacharias Moussaoui, charged with a crime
related to the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon. Torture was being
considered for those who are "uncooperative". (Let's hope no-one in your
family gets arrested, by mistake, and information is demanded from them
which they don't have.)
David Cole:
A Matter of Rights
Bush has as good as told the American people that they have to sacrifice
their civil liberties and their rights under the U.S. Constitution and the
Bill of Rights in support of his "war", which most people seem willing,
sheep-like, to do (such amazing stupidity! or is half the population on
Prozac?). Attorney General John Ashcroft urged Congress to pass proposed
"anti-terrorist" legislation without even considering what it stipulated.
The legislation was hastily rushed through (the same day it was introduced)
over the objections of civil rights advocates by a corrupt and compliant
Congress in the second week of October 2001. This, the so-called Patriot
Act, consisted of 342 pages, and those who voted for it could not possibly
have read it.
The Patriot Act is a blatant denial of the Bill of Rights and as such is
grossly unconstitutional and therefore illegal. According to this
disgraceful legislation:
·       The FBI can now spy on your email, fax and telephone communications
without even bothering to get a court order, and can demand access to your
medical, employment, travel, library and bank and credit card records,
simply on the grounds that you are a "suspected terrorist".
·       Police may obtain a warrant to search your home (if you live on U.S.
territory) on the grounds that you are a "suspected terrorist" and they may
then enter your home when you are away and search through your papers and
copy your computer files, and they are not obliged to inform you for another
90 days (if then).
·       The Attorney General can strip any U.S. citizen of all his
constitutional rights simply by declaring him or her to be a "suspected
terrorist" or "enemy combatant"; no evidence is required and there is no
appeal or recourse to a court of law.
·       A person so designated (whether or not a U.S. citizen), or a person
who provides aid (even food or shelter) to such a person, may be imprisoned
without trial indefinitely.
Ashcroft announced in August 2002 plans to open camps for the incarceration
of "suspected terrorists". Anyone who opposes the policies of the U.S.
government may now be designated a "suspected terrorist" and may be stripped
of their constitutional rights and locked up indefinitely. Clearly Ashcroft
is following the example of the Nazis who lost no time after coming to power
in 1933 in establishing the Dachau concentration camp for the incarceration
of anyone suspected of opposing the Nazi government.
The Patriot Act is such a blatant contradiction of the Bill of Rights that
all senators who voted for it are unworthy of their office, since either
they read it and understood it (in which case they are guilty of treason) or
they did not (in which case they failed to fulfill their responsibility as
elected representatives of the people).
Moreover, the Patriot Act was not drafted in response to the events of
September 11th it was drafted well before that date, and the events of
September 11th were the excuse for its introduction.
U.S. government officials would have us believe that this 342-page,
complexly nuanced document was allegedly crafted after September 11 in the
time span of a little over a month. To accomplish this feat would have
required the in-depth study [within a month] of fifteen other lengthy acts
and statutes which it modifies and amends. Doreen Miller: High Treason in
the U.S. Government
The instigators and scripters of the "War on Terrorism", who place their
trust in modern technology (and propaganda), believe themselves invincible
in their drive to enslave everyone, American and non-American alike. But
they overlook the fact that those Americans who have not prostituted
themselves to the national security state and who, as true Americans, hold
liberty among their highest values (and there are a lot of them) are
unlikely to submit without a fight when they understand what is really going
on.
11. The U.S.A: a Terrorist State
Many still believe that the attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon were
the work of Arab terrorists who hate America. George W. Bush has even
suggested in his usual idiotic fashion that they hate America because
"America is free", "America is a democracy", etc. No. America used to be
admired for these qualities. Where America is now hated it is because of its
long-standing and intolerable interference and domination of other countries
and its impoverishment of the people of those countries.
The initiators of the attacks decided to implement their plan after America
has provoked immense hatred throughout the world. Not because of its might,
but because of the way it uses its might. It is hated by the enemies of
globalization, who blame it for the terrible gap between rich and poor in
the world. It is hated by millions of Arabs, because of its support for the
Israeli occupation and the suffering of the Palestinian people. It is hated
by multitudes of Muslims, because of what looks like its support for the
Jewish domination of the Islamic holy shrines in Jerusalem. And there are
many more angry peoples who believe that America supports their tormentors.
Until September 11, 2001 ... Americans could entertain the illusion that all
this concerns only others, in far-away places beyond the seas, that it does
not touch their sheltered lives at home. No more.
Uri Avnery: Twin Towers
Americans are largely unaware of the enormity of the crimes committed by
their politicians. But in a representative democracy, such as allegedly
exists in the U.S.A., can the people deny responsibility for the actions and
policies of their government? How long can they allow their government,
whose leaders they elect, to commit one atrocity after another and at the
same time pretend that they themselves are innocent of any wrong-doing?
Like the Four Riders of the Apocalypse, the unknown kamikaze rode their
giant crafts into the two visible symbols of American world domination, Wall
Street and the Pentagon. ... They could be practically anybody: ... anybody
who rejects the twin gods of the dollar and the M-16, who hates the stock
market and interventions overseas, who dreams of America for Americans, who
does not want to support the drive for world domination. ... Germans can
remember the fiery holocaust of Dresden with its hundreds of thousands of
peaceful refugees incinerated by the US Air Force. Japanese will not forget
the nuclear holocaust of Hiroshima. the Arab world still feels the creeping
holocaust of Iraq and Palestine. Russians and East Europeans feel the shame
of Belgrade avenged. ... Asians count their dead of Vietnam war, Cambodia
bombings, Laos CIA operations in millions. ...
The Riders could be anybody who lost his house to the bank, who was squeezed
from his work and made permanently unemployed, who was declared an
Untermensch by the new Herrenvolk. ...
America could see this painful strike at her Wall Street and her Pentagon,
as the last call to repent. She should change her advisers, and build her
relations with the world afresh, on equal footing. Probably she should rein
in the domination-obsessed Jewish supremacist elites of Wall Street and
media, part company with Israeli apartheid. She could become again the
universally loved, rather parochial America of Walt Whitman and Thomas
Edison, Henry Ford and Abe Lincoln.
Israel Shamir: Orient Express
"Repent" is an apt term. Today the United States of America is morally
bankrupt. During the coming months, or while there is still time, America
(and to some extent Europe) must engage in some deep self-examination.
Americans have willfully ignored the reality that exists beyond their
borders (other than sporting events and vacation destinations), often
preferring to "create their own" so as to avoid acknowledging what they
don't wish to see. Americans have been completely self-absorbed, not knowing
and not wanting to know the effects of their government's policies and
actions on billions of people who live outside the U.S. Those policies and
actions have resulted in millions of deaths through widespread malnutrition
and the persistence of eradicable diseases (such as malaria); in economic,
social and educational impoverishment for the majority of the world's
population; and in the denial of human rights for all those who live under
tyrannical regimes supported by the U.S. That is why the U.S.A. is so hated.
(And insofar as other governments in particular, the British government have
supported, and continue to support, U.S. policies they too deserve moral
condemnation.)
Sherri Muzher:
Racism: When will We Face the Facts?
The denial by Israel of the human rights of the Palestinians, and its
decades-long intransigent refusal to address their legitimate grievances, is
just the most visible of the many evils resulting from morally bankrupt U.S.
policies. The U.S. (at the urging of American Jews and acting through the
United Nations at a time when most Arab states were not yet members) created
Israel in 1947 against the wishes of the people of the Middle East. (The
U.S. basically stole the land from the Palestinians and gave it to the
Zionists, and then gave the state of Israel money currently three billion
dollars per year for all the police and military hardware the tanks, the
attack helicopters, the missiles, the grenades it needed to hold onto that
stolen territory and to steal, or "annex", even more.) Now the U.S. has to
deal with the consequences (and it is interesting to note that just prior to
the WTC attack the U.S. was preparing to announce its support for a
Palestinian state mandated by the U.N. in 1947 anyway much to the
displeasure of Israel).
Another thing which many people find galling is the shocking hypocrisy and
double standards characteristic of the American attitude to the rest of the
world. Why is it "terrorism" when Palestinians defend themselves against
Israeli brutality but what Israel does is not "terrorism"? How can the U.S.
call for the trial of the Khmer Rouge leaders while denying the right of the
recently-established International Criminal Court to try Americans?
Less visible are the many ways in which U.S. multinational corporations
conspire with the U.S. government (which does its best to coerce other
governments to follow it), the IMF, the World Bank and other organizations
whose undeclared purpose is to make the rich richer and to maximize their
profits regardless of the widespread impoverishment this brings to many
people not only in developing countries but also to those people in modern
industrial societies who do not belong to the moneyed and ruling class.
The facts have long been available to any U.S. resident who cares to read
The Nation, Z Magazine, or the thirty or so books of Noam Chomsky (rarely
mentioned in the mainstream media).
I have often thought that if a rational Fascist dictatorship were to exist,
then it would choose the American system. Noam Chomsky, Language and
Responsibility
Or any of the many audiotapes, videos, CD-ROMS, books and magazine articles
exposing the immoralities of the CIA (a terrorist organization which richly
deserves to be eliminated as soon as possible, preferably by an act of
Congress, with its headquarters at Langley demolished and the land ploughed
over). But no most Americans couldn't care less about the sufferings of
people outside America, being too busy either trying to survive as
wage-slaves in a corporate capitalist society or (for the more fortunate)
constantly scanning their immediate environment for ways to "enrich" their
lives. Now they know what death, destruction, fear and dread are, what
people in other countries have long known (over long periods) as a result of
the actions and policies of the U.S. government and those of the corrupt
regimes it has installed to serve its purposes.
So how have they responded to this revelation? Mostly with mindless demands
on their government to seek revenge and further death and destruction, and
George W. Bush has pandered to this desire for revenge, declaring that he
wants the alleged culprit Usama bin Laden "dead or alive". Seems he's
changed his views on revenge since the 2000 Presidential campaign:
... you cannot lead America to a positive tomorrow with revenge on one's
mind. Revenge is so incredibly negative. George W. Bush, Interview with the
Washington Post, March 23, 2000
The attack on the Twin Towers was not the work of Arab terrorists but rather
was the work of terrorists within the U.S. government itself who seek to
gain control of Central Asian and Middle Eastern oil and to impose a fascist
dictatorship not only upon the United States but also upon the entire world.
What is to be done? The answer is that those traitors (prominent among whom
is the Bush crime family ) must be exposed, their crimes revealed, and they
themselves removed from the positions of power they presently hold.
Furthermore, government in the U.S. must be cleansed of corruption and
restored to conformity with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights : a
restoration of the American Republic. The "anti-terrorist" legislation of
October 2001 (and that of April 1995 and Britain's Terrorism Act of 2000),
intended to facilitate government surveillance and control of the people so
as to stifle free speech and dissent, must be repealed.
The Bill of Rights is a literal and absolute document. The First Amendment
doesn't say you have a right to speak out unless the government has a
'compelling interest' in censoring the Internet. The Second Amendment
doesn't say you have the right to keep and bear arms until some madman
plants a bomb. The Fourth Amendment doesn't say you have a right to be
secure from search and seizure unless some FBI agent thinks you fit the
profile of a terrorist. The government has no right to interfere with any of
these freedoms under any circumstances.
Harry Browne: Harry Browne on Anti-terrorist Proposals
America must also end its long history of the practice of genocide, honor
the principles expressed in the United Nations Universal Declaration on
Human Rights , and cease its ruthless exploitation (mainly for the benefit
of a capitalist ruling class) of the world's economic resources and the
world's people. This means that better-off Americans will have to give up
some of the luxuries they've taken for granted, but perhaps they can make
the sacrifice more readily if they remind themselves that nearly half the
people on this planet (2.8 billion) currently live (if you can call it
living) on less than US$2 a day.
Examples of genocide within U.S. history are common enough not to be
considered remarkable or even genocide. Among historic crimes which are not
commonly called genocide: the destruction of North American Indian peoples,
the liquidation of six million Brazilian Indians through the policies of
multi-national corporations, effects of U.S. economic and military policies
on the poor throughout the Americas, the Euro-American slave trade and
subsequent treatment of black Americans, and the fate of the American poor.
...
Corporate capitalism may simply be legitimized genocide by economic means.
... Those without ethics no longer sell beads to the indians, but rockets
and missiles to "underdeveloped countries," where the arms kill off as many
poor people as possible.
J. B. Gerald: Is the U.S. Really a Signatory to the U.N. Convention on
Genocide?
If the people of the United States do not themselves cleanse their
government of its current corruption, and return the nation to conformity
with the principles of a republic, upon which it was founded, then disaster
will ensue: Either a global fascist dictatorship will result or the U.S.
government will be destroyed by the cooperation of the other countries of
the world (using whatever means necessary, military and non-military).
Either of these possibilities could produce such damage on a global scale
that the survival of the human species would be in doubt.
Those who think that the description of the U.S.A. as "a terrorist state" is
too extreme should inform themselves of the nature of the American CIA,
which is an international terrorist organization . The CIA implements the
policies of the President of the United States. The CIA carries out
unofficial U.S. government policy. This means that the United States is a
terrorist state.
On October 12th [2001], a couple of days after the bombing [of Afghanistan]
started, [George W.] Bush publicly announced to the Afghan people that we
will continue to bomb you, unless your leadership turns over to us the
people who we suspect of carrying out crimes, although we refuse to give you
any evidence. ...
Notice that is a textbook illustration of international terrorism, by the US
official definition. That is the use of the threat of force or violence, in
this case extreme violence, to obtain political ends through intimidation,
fear and so on. That's the official definition, a textbook illustration of
it.
Three weeks later, by the end of October, the war aims had changed. They
were first announced as far as I can find out, by the British Defense
Minister, Sir Admiral Boyce. Admiral Boyce informed the Afghan population
that we will continue to bomb you until you change your leadership. Well,
that's an even more dramatic illustration of international terrorism ...
Noam Chomsky: Is the U.S. a Terrorist State?
And now in September 2002 the United States is threatening to bomb Iraq (no
doubt killing many thousands of civilians and destroying much of the
civilian infrastructure as it did in 1991) unless its leader resigns his
position or the people of Iraq somehow manage to remove him (and allow a
regime to be installed which is acceptable to Washington). Is it not
glaringly obvious that the U.S.A. is a terrorist state?

Several thousand civilians died in the collapse of the WTC towers, and
hundreds of military personnel were killed in the attack on the Pentagon
though the numbers are small compared to
·       the hundreds of thousands of civilians incinerated in the U.S. fire
bombings of Hamburg, Dresden and Tokyo, and in the atomic bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki;
·       the two to five million post-World-War-II refugees from the Soviet
Union who were forcibly returned to Stalin, to face either immediate
execution or a slow death in the Gulag, on the orders of Roosevelt and
Eisenhower in Operation Keelhaul;
·       the millions of civilians who died from hunger and disease as a
result of U.S.-instigated mass starvation of Germans during 1945-1950 under
the Morgenthau Plan;
·       the millions of Native Americans killed by soldiers and occupiers of
their land in the 19th Century or allowed to starve to death by the U.S.
government in the 20th (a clear case of genocide);
·       the thousands of Iranians tortured and murdered by SAVAK, the secret
police of the regime installed in 1953 as a result of a CIA-led coup which
overthrew the popular Iranian Premier, Mossadegh);
·       the murder of between 20,000 and 40,000 Vietnamese from 1968 to 1971
by the CIA in their political assassination program Operation Phoenix;
·       the million or so Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians killed by the
American military in the 1960s and 70s whilst defending their countries from
American domination (or simply because they happened to be where the
Americans carried out their carpet bombings);
·       the tens of thousands of civilians who were tortured and murdered by
CIA-installed dictatorships in Central and South America;
·       the 200,000 people (all civilians) killed (using U.S.-supplied
equipment) as a result of Indonesia's invasion of East Timor in 1975 for
which prior approval was given by the then U.S. President and U.S. Secretary
of State (Ford and Kissinger);
·       the six million Brazilian Indians who have died as a result of the
policies of multinational corporations;
·       the 10,000 to 20,000 people, mostly civilians, killed in the
U.S.-supported 1982 invasion of Lebanon by Israel;
·       the 300,000 Iranians killed in the Iran/Iraq war, which was started
by Iraq at the instigation of the U.S. (which supplied Iraq with the weapons
it used);
·       the 180,000 civilians killed by Reagan's CIA-cocaine-funded Contras
in Nicaragua and El Salvador in the 1980s;
·       the 6,000 (perhaps as many as 20,000) Iraqi civilians killed during
the 41 days and nights of bombing by the British and the Americans in 1991
(during which time the civilian infrastructure was targeted, a war crime),
including:
·       the 500 civilians (including whole families) burnt alive and turned
into cinders when American missiles penetrated a shelter in Baghdad;
·       the tens of thousands of Iraqi conscripts slaughtered on the
"Highway of Death" by U.S. Navy pilots during their attempted retreat from
Kuwait in 1991 (another war crime because the soldiers killed were not in a
combat situation);
·       the tens of thousands of Kurdish civilians killed in South-East
Turkey during the 1990s by Turkish government soldiers using weapons and
equipment supplied to them by the U.S. (which knew exactly what they were
doing with them);
·       the tens of thousands of civilians in Sudan who have died due to the
absence of medicines resulting from the destruction of the Sudanese
pharmaceutical plant by American cruise missiles in 1998 and from the
economic sanctions imposed on Sudan;
·       the one to two million Iraqi civilians , two-thirds of them
children, who have died in the last ten years as a result of the effects of
the hundreds of tons of cancer-causing depleted uranium left over from the
million or so exploded rounds of DU ammunition used in attacks by American
warplanes in the 1991 American/British 6-week terrorist campaign against
Iraq and from the subsequent U.S./British-imposed economic blockade and
criminally punitive sanctions (not to mention those killed by the bombing
raids which occur every week);
·       and the tens of millions of civilians who die every year in Third
World countries from starvation, disease and despair because their countries
are mired in poverty and corruption as a result of economic exploitation by
American multinationals acting with the support and approval of the American
government.
To those in the higher echelons of a government of a terrorist state which,
by means of its military and its CIA, has killed tens of millions of
civilians in foreign countries, the killing of a few thousand of their
fellow citizens is simply another exercise in mass murder, needing a little
more planning, but not much different to what they and their predecessors
have done before.
When asked about the number of Iraqis who died in the war [the 1991 Gulf
Slaughter], US General Colin Powell [current US Secretary of State] replied:
"It's really not a number I'm terribly interested in." The Allied Genocide
of Iraq [link expired]
12. The Corruption of the Republic
The BBC's George Arney reported on September 18, 2001, that Niaz Naik, a
former Pakistani Foreign Secretary, had stated that he had been informed by
senior American officials at a Berlin UN-sponsored international contact
group on Afghanistan in mid-July that Pentagon plans for a military assault
on Afghanistan had already been completed. (This was the meeting in which a
U.S. representative threatened the Taliban representatives with a carpet of
bombs .) The assault on Afghanistan had to be carried out before snow begins
to fall in the mountain passes, which is around mid-October and, indeed, it
began on October 7th, 2001. The timing of the WTC attack was thus very
convenient.
The Pentagon was clearly delighted at the opportunity of trying out all the
new-fangled lethal technology it had developed in the ten years since it
last demonstrated its capability for mass slaughter in its 1991 terrorist
campaign in the Gulf (this was in part a demonstration of its weapons
systems for the benefit of potential purchasers, and the same happened again
in Afghanistan).
The AC-130 [gunship, which began to be deployed in Afghanistan in
mid-October 2001] is one of the most lethal American warplanes in terms of
its ability to chew up ground forces. ... [and] because of its fearsome
firepower. It circles a target and saturates it with automatic fire from
three computer-controlled guns, including cannon and heavy machine guns
capable of firing 1,800 rounds a minute. The plane's guns can cover an area
the size of eight football fields with a round in each square yard ... [and]
has banks of electronic sensors on board capable of detecting ground targets
normally elusive from the air." International Herald Tribune, October 17,
2001, p.1
It was an AC-130 gunship which attacked a compound in the village of
Kakarak, Afghanistan, on July 1st, 2002, resulting in the deaths of 48
people, mainly women and children, and the injury of another 117. Such
weapons are just the latest in a long line of devices invented in the United
States for efficient slaughter on a large scale, from the Gatling gun
(invented about 1862) to the atomic bomb (the two bombs dropped on Hiroshima
and Nagasaki caused more than a quarter of a million deaths and injuries) to
the hydrogen bomb (whose capability to cause death and destruction is almost
unlimited) to cluster bombs and fuel-air bombs.
The [fuel-air] bomb works thus: there are two detonations; the first spreads
a fine mist of fuel into the air, turning the area [about the size of a
football field] into an explosive mix of vast proportion; then a second
detonation ignites the mixture, causing an awesome explosion. The explosion
is about the most powerful "conventional" explosion we know of. At a
pressure shock of up to 200 pounds per square inch (PSI), people in its
detonation zone are often killed by the sheer compression of the air around
them. Human beings can typically withstand up to about a 40-PSI shock. The
bomb sucks oxygen out of the air, and can apparently even suck the lungs out
through the mouths of people unfortunate enough to be in the detonation
zone. Our military used it on helpless people [in the 1991 Gulf Slaughter].
Wade Frazier: My Experiences in America Regarding Iraq
A soldier who is prepared to risk his own life when attempting to kill enemy
soldiers is a brave man. Such a man is not to be despised. But the design,
development, deployment and use of this sort of highly efficient lethal
technology is done, not by brave men, but by cowards by those willing to
slaughter other humans only if their own lives are not placed in danger. It
can only be done by people who are either mentally ill, morally depraved or
too stupid to understand what they are really doing. And as well they do it
for the money so they are basically hired killers.
In early November the Americans began to drop "daisy cutter" bombs on troops
in the Taleban front lines. This "daisy cutter" is the fuel-air bomb as
described above. Only a nation sunk in depravity could descend to the use of
such diabolic devices against human beings, soldiers or otherwise. The
United States thus shows itself to be depraved and barbaric. And any nation
which, by providing military support to the American war machine, condones
this barbarity forfeits (as the United States has already forfeited) any
claim it might have to be regarded as a civilized nation in the eyes of the
world. A barbarian nation drags its allies into barbarity also.
Under the leadership of Adolf Hitler the German nation sank also into
barbarity (from which it emerged after 1945). One of the defining
characteristics of the German Nazis was their willingness to use violence to
achieve their ends not just their willingness to use violence but their
willingness to use unlimited violence. As for them, for those who now
control the American military juggernaut, there is no limit to the degree of
death and destruction that they are willing to use to achieve their ends.
This is one reason why they may properly, truly and without exaggeration, be
described as "Nazis".
Are these the sort of "leaders" that the American people really want? These
calculating, cold-blooded, racist mass murderers? Are they representative of
what America stands for?
Perhaps so. The worship of violence, death and destruction has in recent
decades become a defining characteristic of contemporary American society.
It appears in its television shows, its video games and its
Hollywood-produced films. It manifests itself in the willingness of its
multinational corporations to rape the Earth. America is by far the largest
manufacturer and merchandiser on the planet of lethal hardware, of military
and police equipment, of machines for the production of death and
destruction. This is a sign of a profoundly sick society.
This state of affairs has not come about because the American people are
inherently violent and psychopathic. As with all social matters of this
scale the historical causes are complex. But one of them is the dominance in
American society of corporate capitalism, which elevates shareholder profit
above all other concerns, and which has created the social conditions where
evil men can attain great power and influence, both within government and
without. The American people tend to trust their government and their
political leaders (though there have always been those who could recognize
corruption in individual politicians when they saw it). This trust is given
partly because of the indoctrination Americans receive as children in school
but also partly because their government was in fact founded on republican
principles designed to ensure their liberty and happiness. But this trust
has now been betrayed. When evil men become leaders of the nation this
corruption percolates down and sickens all levels of society.
Since the end of World War II, and partly due to the absorption then into
the American "security and intelligence" agencies of so many former Nazis
(Gestapo, SS and Wehrmacht intelligence), the entire political structure of
the United States has been infected with evil. There have, of course, been
men of outstanding moral stature, for example, Supreme Court Justice William
J. Brennan Jr, U.S. Senator George Mitchell and President John F. Kennedy
(whose assassination in 1963, probably involving the CIA (attempting to
stage an assassination attempt to be blamed on Castro so as to justify an
invasion of Cuba), the FBI, the Mafia, military intelligence, American
supporters of Israel and two future U.S. Presidents, Nixon and Bush Sr., was
the first coup d'etat in the history of the U.S., the second being the coup
which began with the 2000 usurpation of the Presidency by George W. Bush, a
coup which is still being implemented in 2002 under cover of the "War on
Terrorism" and has not yet been completed).
But there have also been corrupt Supreme Court Justices (Rehnquist and
Scalia), primitive, blatantly racist U.S. Senators (Jesse Helms), a
transvestite head of the FBI who was blackmailed into ignoring organized
crime (J. Edgar Hoover), a scumbag President (Nixon) succeeded by a series
of traitors possessing only contempt for the U.S. Constitution (Reagan, Bush
Sr. and Bush Jr.), along with a multitude of elected and unelected officials
(including many judges at all levels) whose only concern was and has been
their own power, prestige and material wealth, who were and are ready to
support genocidal foreign and domestic policies (targeted at the expendable
and the non-white both within and without the U.S.) as long as there is
something in it for them.

idthHR4099fStandardHR1fHorizRule1fLayoutInCell1
But we should not blame only the leaders and official functionaries, corrupt
and in same cases evil, though they may be. It is not fundamentally the
government which is at fault it is the mass of the people themselves, who
seem to lack the moral sense required of a people who are to restrain their
government from descent into depravity.
Many Americans have consciously prostituted themselves, realizing that the
CIA and gang are creating immense death and destruction throughout the
world, but as long as they enjoy cheap gasoline, coffee, bananas and tennis
shoes, they think it is great. ... Many in the upper classes think that the
CIA, FBI and NSA are great institutions, keeping the chips flowing their
way. Those who condone bloodshed and exploitation in the service of their
lifestyles, often coming up with highly strained rationales, will create
future circumstances where they will find the shoe on the other foot. They
will experience what living like a slave is like, barely surviving while
their masters live in opulence.
Wade Frazier: Investigating Possible Conspiracies
Actually democracy itself, when implemented so that every adult (however
stupid) is given a right to vote, is inherently flawed, since it inevitably
becomes the tyranny of the majority. As noted 200 years ago by A. F Tyler ,
democracy leads to the corruption of the financial system of any nation,
because voters (in particular the stupid and self-interested ones) sooner or
later discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public
treasury, by electing whichever politician promises to give it to them. In
order to fulfill that promise (to some extent at least, so as to be
re-elected) that politician must connive in the acquisition of government
wealth by any means available, which in the case of the United States, is
mainly the economic exploitation of third-world countries and of the
economic resources of the planet (partly to manufacture weapons of death to
sell to those and other third-world countries for financial gain).
A U.S. politician remains in office basically by stealing (together with his
fellow politicians) from the rest of the world to finance the comparatively
comfortable (and generally self-indulgent) lifestyle of the middle-class
American voter (whether Democrat or Republican). George W. Bush's "War on
Terrorism" is a campaign, not against terrorism, but to gain total control
of the Earth's economic resources so as to maintain this system of global
theft. Without continued capitalist exploitation of the planet's resources
the American social and financial system will collapse. But if it persists
then we face global tyranny and probably global eco-death once the fifty
billion barrels of oil in the Caspian Basin (following a similar amount from
already-exploited resources) has been extracted, refined and burned, with
the major risk of producing irreversible atmospheric heating.
Contrary to the widespread belief among Americans that the U.S. is a
constitutional democracy, the words "democracy" and "democratic" are nowhere
used in the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution of the United States does
not establish a democracy; it establishes a republic.
... democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have
ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of
property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been
violent in their deaths. James Madison, as quoted in Robert Welch's
Republics and Democracies
Democracy in the United States (in which the votes of dim-witted uneducated
manipulable illiterates count as much as the votes of those of above-average
intelligence who can understand what is best for society as a whole and not
just for themselves) has finally produced a tyranny, with power concentrated
in the executive branch of the U.S. federal government and denied to the
states and to the people. The other two branches of the government, the
legislative and the judicial, have largely become willing tools of the
executive, exactly as happened in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Everything the
German Nazis did was legal, either because they appointed corrupt judges to
interpret existing law as the Nazis wished or because they enacted laws to
allow them to do what they wished to do (as has again occurred in the U.S.
Congress with the October 2001 passage of the grossly misnamed "Patriot Act"
those congresscritters really have a perverted sense of humor).
The evils we experience flow from the excess of democracy. The people do not
want [that is, do not lack] virtue; but are the dupes of pretended patriots.
Elbridge Gerry, delegate to the 1787 Constitutional Convention, as quoted in
Republics and Democracies
But actually the executive branch no longer requires a compliant legislative
branch to enact laws because it can do so itself, by means of executive
orders . The President can stipulate that something is the case and if
no-one in Congress raises any objection within a few weeks (and no
congresscritter has ever raised any objection to the thousands of executive
orders which have been promulgated) then whatever the President has
stipulated becomes part of the law of the land. This mechanism of executive
orders provides near-dictatorial powers to the U.S. President.
And George W. Bush has now issued an executive order giving him the legal
right to order the killing of anyone deemed to be a terrorist (Bush Gives
Green Light to CIA for Assassination of Named Terrorists ). Interestingly,
it seems that although the executive order is presented as applying to
foreign "terrorists" there is nothing to prevent it from being applied to
domestic "terrorists". A "terrorist" is a "terrorist" whether he is within
the borders of the U.S. or beyond. And who's to say a "terrorist" cannot be
an American citizen? Thus George W. Bush has now given himself the legal
right to order the killing of any American citizen that he chooses to label
as a "terrorist". The American Republic has indeed fallen upon grim times.
A tyrannical executive branch of the U.S. federal government, arrogating all
rights and powers to itself in blatant disregard of the 9th and 10th
Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, has now embarked on a war of aggression
against the rest of the world (particularly against any countries whose
actions may threaten American economic dominance), having cynically duped
the American people (by carrying out a fake terrorist attack which took the
lives of thousands of them and then blaming "Arab terrorists") into
believing that this is a just and moral war. It is an administration that is
dominated by men who have no moral scruples, who seek only to increase their
own power and wealth, who have only contempt for the principles upon which
the United States was founded, who are in fact traitors to the American
Republic, and who deserve to receive the penalty for treason and that soon,
before they succeed in extending the tyranny which now exists in the United
States to encompass the entire planet (or else produce by their actions the
enormous death and destruction resulting from another world war, with
large-scale use of chemical, biological and nuclear weapons).
13. Questions About the Events of September 11th
There are some who wish to dismiss this webpage as 'conspiracy stuff', and
pour scorn upon its author. Such people never offer answers to the following
questions. As Gore Vidal has recently stated (The Enemy Within), "Apparently
'conspiracy stuff' is now shorthand for unspeakable truth."
1.      In view of the $30 billion given annually to the FBI, the CIA and
other U.S. "intelligence" agencies, why were these agencies completely
unaware (or so they say) of this conspiracy before they saw its results on
CNN? And why has this (apparent) incompetence been rewarded with yet more
billions?
2.      The four AA and UA jets took off with an average occupancy rate of
27%. That four airliners from major airlines leaving from the East Coast
around 9 a.m. on a weekday for the West Coast would all have such low
occupancy rates is highly unlikely. Was the booking system tampered with in
order to ensure such low occupancy rates (so that the passengers from all
four planes could eventually be loaded onto UA Flight 93 for elimination)?
3.      Why would hijackers intending to crash planes into the WTC hijack
jets taking off from Boston rather than from someplace closer such as JFK
Airport in New York?
4.      Why would hijackers intending to crash a plane into the Pentagon
hijack a jet from Dulles Airport near Washington DC (and thus close to the
Pentagon) and allow it to fly for 40 minutes away from its target before
turning around and flying another 40 minutes back to it (knowing that
interception by military jets during this time would in normal circumstances
have been very likely)?
5.      AA Flight 77 (the jet which allegedly crashed into the Pentagon) was
allegedly hijacked at about 9 a.m., at about the same time as the Twin Tower
impacts, and its change of course back toward Washington, or its transponder
having been turned off, would have been known to flight controllers, who
were aware of the impacts; why, then, were U.S. Air Force jets not scrambled
to intercept AA Flight 77 forty minutes before it (allegedly) hit the
Pentagon, when there were U.S. Air Force jets at seven locations normally
ready to take off at ten minutes' notice?
6.      Why are the FAA, the FBI, the CIA and the NSA refusing to release
any transcripts of communications from the four doomed Boeings on September
11th or any records at all relating to signals of any form transmitted by
those jets?
7.      Where are the black boxes (the flight data recorders and the cockpit
voice recorders) from all four jets? These black boxes are designed to
survive any crash. Have they been examined by experts from the National
Transportation Safety Board, the agency which normally investigates airplane
crashes? If not, why not?
8.      In particular, what is on the FDR and the CVR from UA Flight 93, the
jet which crashed in Pennsylvania? Why, exactly, did this jet crash? Was it
shot down?
9.      "Workers at Indian Lake Marina [six miles from the place where UA
Flight 93 crashed] said that they saw a cloud of confetti-like debris
descend on the lake and nearby farms minutes after hearing the explosion
that signaled the crash [or the attack on the jet] at 10:06 a.m. Tuesday."
(Pittsburg Post Gazette, Sept. 13, 2001) If this plane was not shot down,
but rather remained intact until hitting the ground, how could this debris
travel the six miles from the crash site to Indian Lake in minutes when
there was only a 10 mph wind blowing? (For wind-borne debris to travel six
miles in, say, six minutes requires a 60 mph wind.)
10.     Were the conversations between the pilots of the other three
hijacked planes and air traffic controllers recorded? If so, what did those
pilots say? Were those recordings siezed by the FBI? Were (alleged)
transcripts given by the FBI to the mainstream media? Were those transcripts
fabricated to provide false evidence in support of the "Arab hijackers"
story?
11.     Does the Fireman's Video show that the plane which hit the North
Tower did not have engines attached to the wings and thus was not a Boeing
767? Does it reveal that missiles were fired from this plane just before it
hit?
12.     Since no public TV cameras were trained on the North Tower at the
time of impact, what was the source of the transmission of the North Tower
impact which George W. Bush says he saw before he went into the classroom in
Florida? Why did he do nothing (except continue listening to a little girl's
story about a goat) for half an hour after he was informed that the second
jet hit the South Tower (and that America was "under attack")? Did Bush have
prior knowledge of the WTC attack?
13.     Considering that all persons on board all four planes died, how did
the FBI come up so quickly with a list of names of the alleged nineteen Arab
hijackers including aliases used by fourteen of them, in some cases seven
aliases (see the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, 2001-09-27)? Why were there
no Arab names on the passenger lists at all? Did the FBI prepare in advance
a list of the names (and aliases) of the (alleged) "Arab hijackers" on those
flights?
14.     Why did the South Tower collapse first, 56 minutes after it was hit,
rather than the North Tower (which was hit first and collapsed 1 hour and 44
minutes after being hit), even though the fire in the North Tower (the
alleged cause of the collapse) was more intense?
15.     If the outer perimeter walls of the Twin Towers were connected to
the central cores only by lightweight trusses, how was wind load on the
towers transmitted to the central core (as it must have been because the
floors did not buckle in a strong wind)?
16.     What exactly was the nature of the structural connections between
the outer perimeter wall and the central core of the two towers? Is it not
false that this consisted only of lightweight flimsy trusses? Is it not the
case that the connection was actually made with 32,000 tons of steel beams?
17.     Why are the architect's plans of the Twin Towers not publicly
available?
18.     Would jet fuel burning in an enclosed space (with little oxygen
available for combustion) actually produce temperatures high enough (1538°C,
i.e. 2800°F) to melt massive steel beams (and all the steel beams, since ste
el conducts heat efficiently) enclosed in concrete in just 56 minutes? If
so, wouldn't the Twin Towers have buckled and bent, and toppled over onto
the surrounding buildings in the Lower Manhattan financial district, rather
than collapsing neatly upon themselves in the manner of a controlled
demolition?
19.     Were the Twin Towers re-engineered in the mid-1990s to make possible
a collapse-on-demand if that were judged necessary? Was FEMA aware of this?
Do blueprints of the Twin Towers in the possession of the past owners reveal
any evidence of this?
20.     Why were such huge quantities of ash and dust produced? How could
fire convert concrete into dust? Has the ash been chemically analysed to
determine what it really is and how it might have been produced?
21.     Were any tests done on the debris for the presence of radioactivity?
22.     Is it not the case that the Twin Towers collapsed, not because of
airliner impacts and fires, but because they were expertly demolished (even
though we do not yet know exactly how this was accomplished)?
23.     Who stood to benefit from the complete destruction of the Twin
Towers?
24.     What was the actual size of the entrance hole made by the object
which hit the Pentagon? Is it not the case that photographic evidence
reveals that it was in fact at most just a few meters in diameter, much too
small to have been made by a Boeing 757 jet, but just the right size for a
missile?
25.     Why were no aircraft fragments, identifiable as coming from a Boeing
757, recovered from the Pentagon crash site?
26.     Why were no remains of the approximately sixty passengers and crew
on the jet which allegedly hit the Pentagon returned to relatives for
burial?
27.     Why was the debris from the collapsed Twin Towers removed from the
site with no forensic examination? Why was almost all of it sold to scrap
merchants and shipped abroad where it would not be available for scientific
examination?
28.     In September the Securities and Exchange Commission initiated an
inquiry to establish who benefited from the unusually high numbers of put
options purchased prior to September 11 for shares in companies whose stock
prices subsequently plummeted, on the supposition that whoever was behind
the hijacking was also behind most of the purchases of these put options.
Why has this inquiry stalled? Why have those who benefited from the
purchases of these put options not been identified (or at least, not
publicly)?
29.     Is it not the case that this atrocity was planned and carried out by
elements at high levels of command in the U.S. Air Force, the CIA, the
Justice Department and FEMA (possibly with the involvement of well-placed
civilians outside the government), acting under orders from, or with the
approval of, high officials within the U.S. Administration, and that those
same elements are now directing a propaganda campaign against the American
people to justify a war of aggression in Asia and the Middle East aimed at
controlling the oil and mineral wealth of those regions?
30.     Why is the U.S. mainstream media ignoring questions like these?
14. The American Drive for World Domination
In August 2002 George W. Bush (whose public utterances have finally
demonstrated that he is mentally deranged, unhinged, demented and a lunatic)
and his crony Tony Blair were talking up their intention to attack Iraq,
going on like a broken record about its "efforts to create weapons of mass
destruction", hypocritically ignoring the facts that (a) it is the U.S.
which leads the world in the manufacture and use of such weapons (Germany
and Japan 1945, Vietnam and Cambodia 1960s and 70s, Iraq 1991, Kosovo 1999
and Afghanistan 2001 not all weapons of mass destruction are nuclear) and
(b) it is Israel, America's client state in the Middle East, which already
possesses "weapons of mass destruction" and is entirely willing to use them
against its neighbours.
Iraq's immediate neighbours do not consider Iraq a military threat, so why
should the U.S.? Iraq's missiles can reach parts of Europe and Russia but
neither Europe nor Russia considers Iraq a threat; indeed, in mid-2002
Russia signed a multi-billion dollar trade deal with Iraq. Only Israel
considers Iraq a threat (consistent with the pan-Arab hatred of Israel for
its brutality toward the Palestinians), and in the U.S. Congress and in the
Bush Administration what Israel wants Israel gets.
As British elder statesman Tony Benn has said, the American desire for a war
against Iraq is based not on any concern over what weapons Saddam Hussein
might possess but springs from the desire of the U.S. to grab Iraq's oil.
'Crude lies' used to justify war on Saddam
Bush's "War on Terrorism" is not about terrorism (except insofar as staged
terrorist acts are an important part of the propaganda campaign) it's about
control of all of the Earth's economic resources, not just oil.
Arundhati Roy:
Why America Must Stop the War Now
The United States government wants economic control and exploitation of the
vast oil and mineral wealth of Central Asia, and if a pan-Asian war is
required to achieve this then so be it. American foreign policy makers
believe that American military power will enable them to win such a war and
that (a) a war would enable them to remain in power indefinitely (elections
will become a thing of the past or will be rigged), (b) would be good for
American (and British) weapons manufacturers and (c) would avert the looming
economic depression in the U.S. (since, many believe, it worked before in
the 1930s military build-up to World War II).
He [Bush] wants to divert attention from his domestic problems. It's a
classic tactic. It was used by Hitler. German Justice Minister Herta
Däubler-Gmelin, 2002-09-20. (For other similarities see Perils of Cocaine
Abuse.)
If Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are allowed to proceed with their plan to
attack Iraq it will lead to the overthrow of those Arab regimes whose
leaders are in the pay of the Americans (in the case of Egypt, to the extent
of a good chunk of the two billion dollars per year military "aid"). Will
Middle Eastern oil continue to flow to the Western industrial societies and
to Japan and to China? What might be the consequences for those countries
(especially as regards feeding their people and keeping them warm in winter)
if oil supplies are cut off for an extended period of time?
World War III will involve the nuclear- and CBW-armed countries of India,
Pakistan, Russia, China, Britain, France, Israel and the U.S. itself, and it
will mean that millions of soldiers and civilians will die: shot, burnt,
blasted, asphyxiated, crushed, incinerated, poisoned. Nor will all these
civilians be Asian; this war will also extend to the U.S. mainland and
probably to Europe, despite what the Pentagon planners intend. Violence will
lead to more violence, and wars will escalate (remember "escalation"?) until
eventually nuclear weapons are used first "low-yield", later the big ones,
in the megaton range, whose detonations (if there are enough of them, and we
don't know how many will be used) will produce high levels of radiation in
the atmosphere of (mainly) the Northern Hemisphere, leading to millions of
cases of cancer among the populations of Western countries.
And what if the U.S. warmongers achieve their aims of gaining control of all
sources of oil in Asia (and the Middle East and North Africa), and of the
mineral wealth of Central Asia? Will the Europeans, Japanese and Chinese
feel secure in the knowledge that the United States will surely sell them
whatever they need to maintain their industrial economies and their military
capabilities? (The Russian and Chinese leaders surely understand the
long-term threat to their national sovereignty, and are acting accordingly.)
Or is there something even more sinister going on? Is the goal "at the
highest level" the extinction of the human species? If so, will the American
people prove to be "useful idiots" facilitating the attainment of this goal?
Or, on the contrary, might they yet awaken from their ignorance, their
stupidity, their greed and their egoism, take a hard look at themselves,
understand what their lying, vicious, rapacious, hypocritical government is
doing in the name of "freedom and democracy", and rein in and reform that
government, reconstitute their nation as a republic as the authors of the
Constitution intended, and save the world, as they believe (or used to
believe) is their manifest destiny?

After September 11th revenge was uppermost in the minds of most Americans
and few of them were inclined to look at what brought this catastrophe to
their land. Were they to look for the causes of the events of September 11th
they might eventually be led to ask themselves whether their government is
not so hypocritical, vicious, ignoble and immoral, so much the opposite of
that ideal of government expressed in the U.S. Declaration of Independence
and the U.S. Constitution , that it must be reformed completely, with most
of its current office holders, in particular, the President, the
Vice-President, the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary, the
Secretary of State, the Attorney-General and the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff removed in disgrace, before they can again think of
themselves as Americans with any degree of self-respect.
Their mindlessness is willful, and at least partly conscious. They do not
know what is really happening because they do not want to know what is
really happening. Why? As far as I have seen, it is because they benefit
from the current arrangement (at least in the short term), and denial helps
protect their flickering consciences. ...
All those institutions that we have given our power away to corporations,
governments, churches, etc. have largely enslaved us with our own power. The
only path to true freedom is by reclaiming our power, responsibility and
sovereignty, and doing it lovingly.
Wade Frazier: The Things We Do Not Want To Know
For most of their short history Americans have been adolescents. Brash,
ignorant, naïve, overconfident and infatuated with power. And, like
adolescents, they have never understood or believed in evil. As a result of
September 11th they have lost their innocence. They now know what evil is,
at first hand. But many Americans (encouraged by their warmongering
politicians) insist on projecting that evil "out there" onto Arabs and
Muslims and insist on hating "them". But the evil of September 11th did not
have its origin "out there". It is an evil at the heart, not of America, but
of a corrupt and depraved American government. If and when Americans
acknowledge this (before their warmongering politicians take them into World
War III) then maybe (just maybe) they can save their country, themselves and
the rest of the world. But this is probably too much to expect from a
country in which 49% of the voters (or of those whose votes were counted
anyway) in the 2000 Presidential election were so stupid as to vote for
someone who even then was obviously a moron who cared only for himself and
his cronies in big business (and secretly for his pals in Skull and Bones).
Have America's geopolitical strategists really thought through the
consequences of an attack on Iraq and of what they plan thereafter? Perhaps
they have, and see advantage to themselves in the form of the eventual
realization of the goal that the Nazis set for themselves in the 1930s: a
global fascist dictatorship achieved by the use of military force, and the
consequent enslavement of all humans (with those unfit to work being
eliminated).
We ordinary Americans are being led, step by step, down the road to a
dictatorship more evil and all-pervasive than that of the late Adolph Hitler
and the Nazi Party of the German aristocracy. Sherman H. Skolnick: The
Overthrow of the American Republic, Part 2
Writing to your Congresscritter will do no good (they do not represent the
interests of the people and in any case are almost all spineless traitors).
Political action within the system might (just possibly) have some effect.
Demonstrating against America's criminal foreign policy especially if you do
this in the U.S. will get you tear gas and rubber bullets (which could be
useful if this appears on the news night after night, as the Vietnam War did
in the 1960s).
To the American aristocracy, the true enemy has always been, and still is,
the American common people. Sherman H. Skolnick: The Overthrow of the
American Republic, Part 14
Although this section is entitled "The American Drive for World Domination"
those who are planning and implementing this drive are not all American.
Those at the top of the human chain of command are to be found in
the political and corporate elites of the United States, the United Kingdom,
and the European Union also, as it happens, the very parties orchestrating
the global war on terrorism. Chaim Kupferberg, The Propaganda Preparation
for 9/11
The machinery of the New World Order is already in place. The Office of
Homeland Security (and its Stasi-plan for making 5% of the American
population informers upon the rest) is only the most public manifestation of
it. Have you heard of the Executive Secretariat, the Joint Task Force Civil
Support and Phase III? How about the Doctrine for Joint Urban Operations and
the DSB Summer Study on Special Operations and Joint Forces in Support of
Countering Terrorism ? No? Well, you're not supposed to. While most of the
citizens of the United States remain as ignorant as sheep (mostly because
they don't wish to know) their cryptofascist government is hell-bent on
taking control of the entire globe by the use of its military forces. All
countries, if they are not already, will soon be under the threat of
annihilation by a supposedly invincible American military superiority. At
the same time the U.S. secret government, the prototype for a global
dictatorship, will be extending its Satanic legal system (including civil
asset forfeiture laws) to the entire world either by forcing all other
countries to sign "treaties" committing them to (in effect) submit
themselves to American legal jurisdiction or by ensuring the dominance of
fascist elements within other governments. And with control of Middle
Eastern and Central Asian oil (if the U.S. achieves this) all other
countries will have to submit to American demands or see their people go
hungry (like much of the world already does) and cold in winter (with
rioting in the streets put down by the usual brutal methods). Welcome to the
New World Order what they used to call "The Thousand-Year Reich". Like it?
No? Then what are you going to do about it?
Their world government is based on lies, supported by the power of money;
but now the lies are beginning to unravel. It is time to withdraw our
support, challenge their legitimacy, and push their lies toward collapse.
There is no Constitution. There is no Bill of Rights. There is no legitimate
government. There is no America left to restore. We shall welcome the
ensuing chaos as a return of liberty.

The following external web pages (some already referenced in the body of the

actually happened on September 11th, 2001, and provide evidence as to who
was behind it. The availability of this information and analysis on the web
contrasts with the U.S. government's refusal to conduct a genuine forensic
investigation (though the reason is clear: such an investigation would cast
serious doubt on the official story and would risk exposing the identity of
the perpetrators and their motivation). There are, of course, other

actually happened on that fateful day, and which can no longer be ignored,
even by the mainstream media. Eventually the truth, whose major outlines can
already be known by anyone who wishes to know, will be generally recognized
and acknowledged, and those responsible will be revealed. Bush Jr. and Sr.,
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Ashcroft, Myers, Powell and the others know it,
which is why they are hell-bent on attacking Iraq and starting World War III
(and turning the U.S. into even more of a police state than it is already)
before the citizens of the U.S. can bring them to justice for their crimes
against humanity.

Colpevole per il 911 - Bush allo scoperto
di Illarion Bykov e Jared Israel
18 gennaio 2002
Abbiamo dimostrato che le normali misure di sicurezza al volo e di difesa
aerea l'11 settembre 2001 non vennero seguite. Ciò è straordinario perché
l'11/9 è stato l'unico giorno nel quale quattro aerei vennero dirottati
megli USA, per non dire l'unico giorno nel quale tre aerei si sono
schiantati contro importanti edifici di New York City and Washington. (1)
Abbiamo arguito che tale inattività dei sistemi di protezione aerea non
potrebbe essersi verificata senza il coinvolgimento di alti funzionari.
Abbiamo fatto i nomi di George Walker Bush, Donald Rumsfeld e del generale
Richard B. Myers.
Perché queste tre persone?
Nelle forze armate USA l'autorità deriva dalla posizione di una persona
nella catena del comando militare. Il Presidente ed il Segretario della
Difesa sono le due posizioni più elevate nella catena del comando militare.
Il Comandante degli Stati Maggiori Riuniti fa parte della catena di
comunicazione e gli possono essere date specifiche responsabilità dal
Presidente e/o dal Segretario della Difesa. (1a) L'11 settembre era
Presidente George Bush. Donald Rumsfeld era Segretario della Difesa. Ed il
generale Richard B. Myers era Capo degli Stati Maggiori Riuniti f.f.
Questi tre uomini quel giorno avevano responsabilità critiche per la
protezione di New York e Washington. Secondo le informazioni pubblicamente
disponibili essi si sono sottratti ai loro doveri.
Il loro comportamento, come descritto dai media, presenta all'apparenza
confusione, ingenuità e mancanza di preparazione. Ma noi dimostreremo che
tale apparenza era studiata.
Cominciamo dal vertice della catena del comando.
GEORGE WALKER BUSH.
L'11/9 il Presidente Bush era a Sarasota, in Florida, nel secondo di una
visita di due giorni. Il programma di Bush per quel giorno erano
pubblicamente noti in anticipo. (2)
Molta gente è confusa riguardo a cosa il presidente Bush sapeva ed a quando
quel mattino l'abbia saputo.
La ragione di tale confusione è che in seguito l'addetto stampa di Bush, Ari
Fleischer, il suo Vicepresidente Richard Cheney, ed il Presidente Bush
stesso hanno emesso resoconti contradditori su cosa fece Bush quel mattino.
Fortunatamente l'11 settembre erano in Florida con il Presidente Bush dei
giornalisti dei quotidiani e della TV. I loro resoconti come testimoni
oculari dipingono un chiaro quadro.
In questa sezione del Sommario delle prove:
* a) stabiliremo che Bush ed il suo staff sapevano prima di entrare
nell'aula della Booker School e
* b) considereremo alcune implicazioni.
In sezioni future esamineremo l'effettiva visita di Bush alla Booker School
e la sua partenza dal Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport in Florida
più tardi nella mattinata. Esamineremo anche le storie di copertura fatte in
seguito circolare da Fleischer, da Cheney e dal Presidente Bush stesso.
BUSH SAPEVA DEL PRIMO ATTACCO PRIMA DI ENTRARE ALLA BOOKER SCHOOL
La reporter dell'Associated Press Sonya Ross era uno dei giornalisti che
seguivano il viaggio di Bush in Florida il mattino dell'11/9. Ms. Ross era
diretta alla Booker School o si trovava già lì quando venne a sapere del
primo impatto contro il WTC:
"Il mio cellulare suonò mentre la carovana del Presidente Bush si dirigeva
verso la Emma E. Booker Elementary School di Sarasota, Florida. Un collega
riferì che un aeroplano si era schiantato contro il World Trade Center di
New York. Nessuna ulteriore informazione.
"Chiamai l'ufficio dell'AP a Washington in cerca di dettagli. Alcune
informazioni insufficienti. Ma sapevo che doveva essere brutta. Cercai un
funzionario della Casa Bianca per chiedere, ma non ce ne fu alcuno a portata
di mano fino alle 9.05 a.m." AP 12 settembre (3)
Ms. Ross 'cercò un funzionario della Casa Bianca' perché sapeva che quelli
con Bush dovevano essere meglio informati della Associated Press.
BUSH VIAGGIA CON UN POTENTE STAFF
Il Presidente Bush non è una persona comune. Viaggia con il suo intero
staff. Questo è responsabile per ricevere, filtrare ed inoltrare le
informazioni amministrative e militari. Il Capo dello Staff Andrew Card
organizza e coordina i membri dello stesso e comunica con il Presidente. In
aggiunta Bush ha il Secret Service, che è responsabile della sua sicurezza.
I membri di questa squadra di supporto hanno la migliore attrezzatura per le
comunicazioni al mondo. Si mantengono in contatto, o possono raggiungerli
facilmente, con il gabinetto Bush, con il Centro di Comando Militare
Nazionale (NMCC) al Pentagono, con l'Ente Federale per l'Aviazione (FAA) e
con gli agenti del Secret Service rimasti alla Casa Bianca ecc.
Dal momento che il sistema di informazioni del Presidente è molto più esteso
e sofisticato di quello disponibile per un reporter, sembra molto plausibile
che, al momento nel quale Ms. Ross sentiva del primo impatto al WTC, cioè
mentre la carovana di Bush correva verso la Booker Elementary School, il
Presidente sapeva già di questo tragico evento. Fonti indipendenti lo
confermano.
Il giornalista dell'ABC John Cochran viaggiava con il Presidente. Martedì
mattina riportò alla ABC TV:
"Peter, come sai, il Presidente e giù in Florida a parlare di istruzione. E'
uscito questa mattina dalla suite del suo albergo, stava per partire, i
reporter hanno visto il Capo di gabinetto della Casa Bianca, Andy Card,
sussurrargli qualcosa. I reporter hanno detto al Presidente, "Sapete che sta
succedendo a New York?' Egli disse che lo sapeva e disse che avrebbe fatto
qualcosa per questo più tardi. Il suo primo impegno è di circa mezz'ora in
una scuola elementare di Sarasota, Florida". 'ABC News' Special Report (4)
Dunque Bush sapeva del primo attacco al WTC prima di lasciare il suo
albergo.
Che altro sapeva?
1) John Cochran riporta che il Presidente Bush non rispose a Andrew Card. E'
inconcepibile che ad un essere vivente venga detto che un aeroplano si è
appena gettato dentro al più grande edificio di New York e questi non abbia
niente da ribadire. Dunque Bush deve averlo saputo prima che glielo
sussurrasse Card.
2) Ciò è confermato dal fatto che poco dopo che Card gli parlò, Bush disse
ad un giornalista che avrebbe fatto più tardi una dichiarazione. Bush non
avrebbe detto questo senza discutere della situazione col suo Capo dello
staff ed altri.
BUSH SAPEVA CHE L'INCIDENTE AL WTC ERA UN ATTACCO TERRORISTA?
La risposta a questa domanda è qualcosa che il Vicepresidente Richard Cheney
rivelò, probabilmente inconsciamente, a MEET THE PRESS di domenica 16
settembre.
Persino senza il resoconto di John Cochran alla ABC, i commenti di Cheney
costituiscono prova che prima che il Presidente Bush andasse alla Booker
School sapeva che un aereo era stato dirottato e poi era schiantato nel WTC.
Cheney stava parlando con il giornalista Tim Russert di MEET THE PRESS sul
percorso di volo dell'American Flight 77 che colpì il Pentagono. Qui c'è il
colloquio:
"VICE PRES. CHENEY: ...Il meglio che possiamo dire è che essi [American
Flight 77] inizialmente arrivarono alla Casa Bianca e...
"MR. RUSSERT: Realmente l'aereo girò intorno alla Casa Bianca?
"VICE PRES. CHENEY: Non girò attorno ad essa, ma era diretto su una traccia
che andava verso di essa. Il Secret Service ha un accordo con la F.A.A. Essi
avevano le linee aperte dopo che il World Trade Center fu..."
"MR. RUSSERT: Tracciato con il radar.
"VICE PRES. CHENEY: E fu quando entrò nella zona pericolo e sembrava fosse
diretto verso la Casa Bianca che mi presero e mi portarono nella
cantina...(ecc)" MEET THE PRESS Trascrizione (5)
Pare che Cheney abbia impulsivamente affermato il fatto cruciale che il
Secret Service abbia una linea diretta con la FAA, dunque si accorse che
stava parlando troppo e si fermò prima di completare la frase. Ma se ha
veramente parlato troppo, si è anche fermato troppo tardi. E' ovvio che la
frase sarebbe terminata con la parola 'colpito' o qualcosa di simile. Così:
"Il Secret Service ha un accordo con la F.A.A. Essi avevano le linee aperte
dopo che il World Trade Center fu colpito".
Il Secret Service ha un collegamento speciale con la FAA in modo da potere
rapidamente accedere ad informazioni importanti per la sicurezza del
Presidente. Dopo il primo attacco al WTC, il collegamento tra la FAA ed il
Secret Service venne elevato al livello di linee aperte.
(In modo simile, gli ordini emessi dalla FAA e dai Capi di Stato Maggiore
Riuniti richiedono un più elevato contatto tra la FAA ed il Centro di
Comando Militare Nazionale (NMCC) durante i dirottamenti. V. 'Guilty for
9-11, Section 2: Cheney's Cover Story') (6)
Perciò, all'ora alla quale il volo American 11 si schiantava contro il World
Trade Center, attorno alle 8.46, e con maggiori probabilità prima che ciò
accadesse, il Secret Service sapeva ciò che sapeva la FAA.
Dunque, cosa sapeva la FAA?
La FAA ammette che alle 8.20 'sospettava' che il volo American 11 fosse
stato dirottato. (7) E, secondo la storia ufficiale rilasciata il 14
settembre:
"8.40 [la] FAA notifica del volo 11 [cioè che era stato dirottato] al NEADS
(il Settore Difesa Aerea Nordest) del NORAD, il sistema di difesa civile dei
militari" Newsday 23 settembre 2001 (7)
Perciò, basandosi sulla storia ufficiale, alle 8.40 o prima il Secret
Service sapeva che il volo 11 era stato dirottato. E dal momento che la FAA
stava tracciando il volo 11, come lo faceva anche il Centro di Comando
Militare Nazionale, che viene notificato dei dirottamenti ed ha accesso al
radar in tutto il paese, (8) è certo che alle 8.46 il Secret Service sapeva
che un aereo dirottato si era schiantato contro il World Trade Center.
Così secondo la storia ufficiale, prima che il Presidente entrasse alla
Booker School, a dire il vero apparentemente prima che lasciasse il suo
albergo, il Secret Service sapeva che, per la prima volta nella storia degli
USA, il paese era stato attaccato dall'aria da dei terroristi.
Il Secret Service, che impiega più di 4.000 persone, ha diverse
responsabilità. La più importante è quella di proteggere il Presidente. E
sicuramente ciò significa innanzitutto tenerlo fuori da pericoli inutili
poiché prevenire è meglio che curare. Ciò è in particolare modo vero per
certi pericoli:
"Durante la guerra fredda, quando gli agenti della sicurezza facevano war
games con oggetto minacce terroristiche alla Casa Bianca, l'unico problema
insolvibile era un aereo commerciale carico di esplosivo che si faceva
avanti dalla discesa di avvicinamento verso il Washington National Airport e
quindi virava per una picchiata suicida sulla Casa Bianca". (TIME Magazine)
(9)
Il Secret Service è da molto tempo consapevole che uno dei più delicati
pericoli per la sicurezza è posto da un attacco suicida di un aereo
commerciale dirottato da un vicino aeroporto. In un giorno nel quale aerei
venivano dirottati da differenti aeroporti e si schiantavano contro edifici,
una primaria precauzione per la sicurezza sarebbe quella di tenere il
Presidente lontano da impegni annunciati pubblicamente in un edificio vicino
ad un aeroporto.
La Booker School è a meno di 5 miglia dal Sarasota-Bradenton International
Airport. (10)
COSA SAPPIAMO A QUESTO PUNTO
1) Prima che il Presidente Bush lasciasse il suo albergo il Secret Service
sapeva che un aereo dirottato si era schiantato contro il World Trade
Center, un edificio che simbolizzava la potenza USA.
2) Il Presidente è il più ovvio bersaglio individuale per un attacco
terroristico.
Il Presidente quella mattina aveva in programma la visita alla Booker
School. La visita non era di alcuna importanza - cioè poteva essere
facilmente cancellata. Il suo orario era noto pubblicamente, fino al minuto
in cui avrebbe parlato di istruzione alla TV, alle 9.30. (11)
4) Assumendo che la storia ufficiale sia interamente vera, vi erano tutti i
motivi per credere che un terrorista avesse portato un aereo sul WTC. Perciò
un terrorista poteva far volare un aeroplano nella Booker School per
uccidere Bush - indubbiamente una vittoria maggiore che sfondare il WTC.
Questo pericolo veniva aumentato dalla vicinanza del Sarasota-Bradenton
International Airport.
Inoltre, l'attacco al WTC poteva segnalare l'inizio di un più vasto attacco
terroristico. In tale caso era certamente possibile che terroristi con armi
pesanti avessero potuto attaccare la Booker School da terra.
ED ORA LA QUESTIONE SCOTTANTE:
Considerato l'obbligo del Secret Service di proteggere il Presidente;
Considerata la linea aperta del Secret Service con la FAA e perciò la sua
conoscenza che un aereo era stato dirottato ed in seguito lanciato nel World
Trade Center;
Considerata la potenziale minaccia mortale al Presidente Bush se si fosse
recato in un posto pubblico, da programma, come annunciato il giorno
precedente e conosciuto da tutti nella regione;
Vi è una sola spiegazione per la quale il Secret Service abbia permesso al
Presidente Bush di correre il rischio mortale di andare alla Booker School
la mattina dell'11 settembre.
George Walker Bush conosceva i piani per il 911. E poiché conosceva quei
piani sapeva che nessuno avrebbe attaccato la Booker School.
