These cover-ups were carried out by the Commissioners, their staff, and the Pentagon, Norad and other military personnel directly involved in the relevant acts on and before 9/11, numbering collectively in the low hundreds.
So a cover-up regarding 9/11 has already been established.
How did they Keep Them Quiet?
Jason Bourne (the fictional character in the Bourne movies) kept people quiet by offering 2 alternatives: He told them that he'd pay them alot of money if they cooperated; or he'd kill them if they didn't.
Bourne had his own code of honor and was a good guy. If the 9/11 masterminds wanted to keep people quiet, they would probably be alot more ruthless, as they apparently do not follow Mr. Bourne's code of honor.
In addition, there already have been whistleblowers who have come forward. See, for example, this short essay. But these whistleblowers have been wholly ignored by the 9/11 Commission and the media.
Because the whistleblowers who have come forward have been completely ignored, other whistleblowers have been discouraged from risking it all to come forward.
Moreover, many of the people who carried out 9/11 probably did so for ideological reasons -- they actually believed that killing 3,000 Americans was justified in a "ends justify the means" way as an excuse to carry out their agenda. Never underestimate the conviction of an idealogue.
These people would not need to be quieted. Even after the disastrous wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, torture, spying, etc., they probably still believe they did the right thing by creating the justification for the administration's policies. They would thus have no desire to speak out.
Just because no one you know is this extreme an idealogue doesn't mean people like that don't exist. There are people who will go to their grave believing that their monstrous crimes were the acts of patriots.
It is a commonplace that "you can't keep secrets in Washington" or "in a democracy, no matter how sensitive the secret, you're likely to read it the next day in the New York Times." These truisms are flatly false. They are in fact cover stories, ways of flattering and misleading journalists and their readers, part of the process of keeping secrets well. Of course eventually many secrets do get out that wouldn't in a fully totalitarian society. But the fact is that the overwhelming majority of secrets do not leak to the American public. This is true even when the information withheld is well known to an enemy and when it is clearly essential to the functioning of the congressional war power and to any democratic control of foreign policy. The reality unknown to the public and to most members of Congress and the press is that secrets that would be of the greatest import to many of them can be kept from them reliably for decades by the executive branch, even though they are known to thousands of insiders.
Have you ever heard of this conspiracy before? It was certainly a very large one. And if the conspirators controlled the newspapers then, how much worse is it today with media consolidation?
How Many?
Were more than 7 guys involved? Probably. But it could still have involved many less people than were needed to carry out NATO's Italian terror campaign or to hide the fact that an entire fleet of Japanese ships was sailing towards Pearl Harbor.
Contrary to popular misperception, conspiracies are not that uncommon. Just because the government tries to claim that conspiracy theories are crazy does not mean that they don't exist.
There are, to be sure, crazy people who believe that everything is a conspiracy, which it isn't. However, it is just as crazy to believe that nothing is a conspiracy as it is to believe that everything is.
George WashingtonGeorge Washington is a pen name. I am using the pen name, with the approval of the publisher, because I have received death threats due to my 9/11 research and writing. I am using a pen name to protect myself and my family.
9/11 WAS A FALSE FLAG OPERATION BUT ONLY 7 IS RIDICULOUS
Although I believe 9/11 was a false flag operation by the Bush/Cheney administration to implement the neocons proposal for a new American Empire, you hurt the credibility of the 9/11 Truth Movement by claiming that it would only take seven people to bring down WTC 1, 2, and 7. I am sure any of the companies that carry out controlled demolitions would tell you that it takes more than seven people to plant the explosives necessary to bring down even one building and, at the World Trade Center, we have three.
Very good article George, but I wonder about the planes. Did they use planes on the Pentagon and flight 93? It does not look like flight 77 hit the Pentagon, nor that flight 93 was really found. Where are the people on the planes? Notably it would be bigger than 7 people if counting passengers. I think Olson's wife is still alive some where with a new identity and plastic surgery make over somewhere, but that does not explain the rest of the people. And I also believe all that money that was under the WTC was shuttled out with Guiliani's supervision on the ground. Why would the North tower not collapse first when it was hit first? The South tower collapsed after being hit second, while the North Tower stood an additon 30 minutes before it caved. I think Guiliani wanted to make sure the exits stayed open, and they needed to have the S. Tower come down first. When it was discovered exits were still clear they moved in to steal the gold and money. It took them 8 hours to finish and that's when building 7 was pulled to destroy control room operations, and to implode the exits. Clean get away. So we are talking more people there. In fact it had to be an organization, and they are keen to secrets such as the Illuminati Mafia Skull and Bones Oaklahoma Timothy McVeigh Crew. We have the CIA who I know had a role in this. So it is big and I sincerely think big crimes and a lot of people involved would certainly keep their mouths shut. Besides even if they came forward, they would be looked upon as a conspiracy wacko too. So I contend this job was probably a duel plan, with Saudi Standin terrorist to help sweeten the story. I know Bush did it.
