Recently, I watched "September 11: The New Pearl Harbor." That's Massimo Mazzucco's documentary that 9/11 scholar, David Ray Griffin, has called "the film we've been waiting for." It's available gratis on the web, and I recommend it highly.
The amount of evidence the film offers to discredit the official story of 9/11 is overwhelming. It comes from eyewitnesses, government officials, and experts on aviation and explosives. It comes from architects, engineers, and others in the scientific community.
Similarly persuasive are the historical details and personal testimonies Mazzucco offers to discredit the official line about the Old Pearl Harbor of December 7th, 1941.They too come from eyewitnesses and a whole array of insiders. Together they debunk the notion that the attack on the U.S. naval base in Hawaii came as a surprise. Instead, the evidence shows that Franklin Roosevelt and others allowed Pearl Harbor to happen in order to justify U.S. entry into World War II.
In the face of such evidence, the refusals of our educational system, the mainstream media, and U.S. politicians to reopen investigations into both the new and the old Pearl Harbors are simply amazing.
It's enough to make one recall similar refusals concerning the assassination of John F. Kennedy in November of 1963. Instead, the media, politicians, and educators allow to stand an explanation that literally has bullets changing direction in ways that defy the laws of physics. The official explanation holds even though expert riflemen have repeatedly found themselves unable to duplicate the alleged marksmanship of Lee Harvey Oswald using the alleged assassination weapon.
As I write such words, I can almost hear what's going through some readers' minds. "Oh, I get it. You're another one of those 'conspiracy theorists.' I'm sorry, but I don't find the 'evidence' you're citing persuasive. As Americans, we and our leaders have higher standards."
Really? Consider the following:
- In 2003, the U.S. government insisted on invading Iraq because of its possession of "weapons of mass destruction." When inspectors couldn't find those weapons, their failure was characterized by the Bush administration as evidence of Saddam Hussein's evil genius. Hussein was so insidious, they claimed, that he was able to hide masses of chemical and other weapons from very aggressive inspectors. The administration used such non-evidence-as-evidence to justify an invasion and war that has taken more than a million lives of innocent Iraqis. What's that you say about high standards of proof?
- Last September President Obama was on the point of bombing Syria for its use of chemical weapons against insurgents whose ranks include al-Qaeda, the arch enemy of "America." The evidence justifying Obama's attack remained secret. Beyond that, when asked for justification, only purely circumstantial proof was offered. The chemical weapons in question, we were told, required launchers available only to the regime of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. This means that for Mr. Obama, secret evidence and circumstantial proof were sufficient to justify bombings that would kill hundreds, if not thousands or even hundreds of thousands, of innocent Syrians. And yet all those hundreds of serious, science-based questions about 9/11 and the Kennedy assassination remain ... well, unanswered.
- Just last week, Senator John McCain of Arizona accused Edward Snowden of sharing U.S. secrets with Russia. "If you believe he didn't, McCain said, "then you believe that pigs fly." McCain's incontrovertible evidence? Hmm. Maybe he thought his smart remark was enough. But we can't be sure. He didn't say. Perhaps he was going on his own experience when he was a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam. Did he reveal U.S. secrets to the Vietnamese? How else could he act as both judge and jury, and make his flying-pigs deduction with such certainty? Logic? Is his evidence stronger than that allegedly requiring a reinvestigation of 9/11?
That last question makes my point.
When it's a question of attacking enemies, the flimsiest of reasons, the thinnest of connections, simple implications, logical deductions, illogical conclusions, and circumstantial evidence are enough to justify mass murder of the innocent.
Imagine if the proof against Saddam Hussein or al-Assad had risen to the level of that advanced by 9/11 scientists and other scholars. In that case, I'd wager there's not a person in the world who wouldn't recognize the guilt of Washington's designated enemies. The proof would be so overwhelming.
My conclusions:
- "9/11: The New Pearl Harbor" is compulsory viewing for those with the courage to think for themselves.
