Apparently, at approximately 10:00 a.m., Cleveland airport was evacuated amid rumours that a hijacked airplane was going to land. Flight 93 landed at approximately 10:45 and disembarked its passengers who were then taken to an empty NASA research center adjacent to the runway. Mayor Michael White reported that the passengers on board numbered 200, which is the approximate number of all passengers allegedly aboard the four “hijacked” planes on 9/11. No word exists on what happened to the 200 passengers who were taken to the NASA facility that day. (30)
There were no Arab names listed on any flight manifest or in any alleged autopsy report as one might expect if the "hijackers" were legitimate passengers on the aircraft. (31) Within days of 9/11, the media tracked down nine of the alleged hijackers, still alive in either Saudi Arabia, Morocco, or Tunisia. (32) They could not have been killed aboard the 9/11 flights and still be alive. On Sept. 20 and 27, 2001, FBI Director Robert Mueller reported that there was no legal proof to establish the identity of the hijackers. (33) Neither the alleged hijackers nor Osama bin Laden were ever charged for 9/11.
A NORAD training exercise was scheduled for Sept. 11, 2001 and diverted interceptors from the area. (34) Even though the FAA was aware of the events unfolding as of 8:30 a.m., a new hijacking protocol had been imposed on them some months earlier which took first-response control out of their hands and gave it to the Pentagon. The Pentagon did not answer its emergency line that morning until it was too late. (35) In the end, only a single wing of jets was scrambled and sent out hundreds of miles over the Atlantic. (36) No jets were scrambled from the U.S.S. George Washington, which was stationed just off Long Island. There is no entry in the Washington's "history of deployments" (or log book) for the period from August 28 to September 12, 2001. That is, the officers of the Washington do not say what the carrier was doing or where it was deployed dyring that time. (37)
No one in the military was disciplined for any of the “failures” of 9/11. Instead officers within NORAD and other services and officials in government departments received promotions. What was the "job well done" for which they were promoted?
The Patriot Act was quickly passed after 9/11, just as the Counter Terrorism Bill was quickly passed after the Oklahoma City Bombing (alleged to have been another false-flag operation), leaving the impression that the Patriot Act had already been written up.
As well, two days before 9/11, President Bush had already signed an order to invade Afghanistan. American and British forces were already stationed in Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, ready to go and a carrier group was already in position. (38)
At the very time the airliners hit the World Trade Center, Osama bin Laden was lying in a hospital bed in Rawalpindi for his renal condition, surrounded by a contingent of Pakistani military. The Pakistanis made no attempt to arrest him and the Americans made no request for it, even though bin Laden was at that time wanted for the African embassy bombing if not for 9/11. Later the CIA closed the unit assigned to search for him; the FBI never charged him; and bin Laden is now assumed to have died from renal failure. (39)
Meanwhile, in Washington on Sept. 11, a Pakistani ISI general was given a briefcase containing $100,000 to be given to Mohammed Atta for his part in the conspiracy. (40)
Larry Silverstein, who purchased the World Trade Center a few months earlier, made $2.2 billion (some say higher) in insurance claims from 9/11. Nearly $800 million in gold went missing from a section of the WTC cordoned off by the FBI. A reconstruction of hard drives found in the rubble revealed $100 million in illegal transactions made on 9/11. $2.5 million in “put” options against United Airlines remained unclaimed. The makers of Loose Change described 9/11 as “a lie which killed thousands of people, only in turn killing hundreds of thousands more, to make billions upon billions of dollars.” (41)
There are many details that I've left out here in considertaion of space - the implausibility of Hani Hanjour piloting the Pentagon plane, Vice-President Cheney's whereabouts, the implausible NORAD training scenario, etc.
However, in consideration of what has been said, I allege that the “war on terror” is a fiction, an American creation. It was envisioned a quarter of a century before 2001 and carried out to begin a “war on terror” that was part of an American plan to ensure continued military spending and “full-spectrum dominance” in the new century.
Said retired Lt. Col. Sheldon F. Lankford:
Your countrymen have been murdered and the more you delve into it the more it looks as though they were murdered by our government, who used it as an excuse to murder other people thousands of miles away.
If you ridicule others who have sincere doubts and who know factual information that directly contradicts the official report and who want explanations from those who hold the keys to our government, and have motive, means, and opportunity to pull off a 9/11, but you are too lazy or fearful ... to check into the facts yourself, what does that make you?
