Breaking the Spell with 9-11 Truth by Carol Wolman Page 1 of 3 page(s)

Here we are, 7 long years later, and they’re still getting away with it. There has been no real investigation of 9-11, and 9-11 truth advocates are still labelled “fringe”, “paranoid”, “conspiracy theorists”. The country has bought the lie. We are under a spell. Someone asked my opponent in the coming election, Rep. Mike Thompson (Dem CA-1) whether he thought 9-11 might be an inside job. His response: “70% of the country thinks that Elvis is still alive”. I attended a 9-11 truth rally yesterday. Richard Gage, an architect who is organizing Architects and Engineers for 9-11 Truth www.ae911truth.org/ (460 members so far), spoke about the obvious lies in the official coverup report. The three towers could only have been brought down so quickly by thousands of thermite or thermate “cutters” strategically planted ahead of time in all three building. Gage pointed out the fact that all the concrete was pulverized into fine dust, the steel framework was shattered or melted, molten rivers of metal flowed on the site for weeks afterwards. This was a highly sophisticated operation that could not have been planned from a cave in Afghanistan.
A New York cop, whose beat included the World Trade Center, talked about the powerdown in the North Tower two weeks before the attack, while the new security company, Marvin Bush’s company, did something with heavy equipment and lots of wires.
A letter was read from Captain Philip Marshall who just published False Flag 911: How Bush, Cheney and the Saudis Created the Post-911 World
He writes: Our investigation had also brought us to the training of the hijackers because the expert levels of airmanship displayed in the attacks raised red flags of suspicion. …The 911 Commission Report maintained that these pilots were flying Boeing 757s and 767s for the first time. They concluded that in the very first minute in an actual 767 cockpit, one hijacker was able to fly the plane from a cruise altitude of 31,000 feet into a sustained power dive, level out, find his target and hit the south tower of the World Trade Center at an indicated airspeed of 465 knots. The Pentagon plane was even more suspicious in that the 90 foot building was hit at around the same phenomenal airspeed of 460 knots following an absolute perfect 330 degree steep turn at 2,500 feet while in a sustained descent. Any experienced airline pilot knows that this expert level of airmanship is impossible without repeated and intense training. According to the 911 Commission, these were the first flights and the first time that the pilot/hijackers had touched (flown) these highly sophisticated airliners or any airplane larger than single-engine propeller airplanes. Impossible!
These are just a few examples of the outrageous inconsistencies in the official 9-11 story. Yet most of the country continues to buy it. The speakers yesterday talked about how jolting and upsetting it was to realize, several years later, that we are being lied to over and over, and how it took them several days to readjust their thinking.
President Bush told the Republican Convention last Tuesday night that the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, are still reverberating around the world, and voters must elect John McCain as president “to protect America.”
This shows how central 9-11 still is to the whole Republican agenda. It provides the excuse for fascist legislation, for invading other nations illegally, for executive abuses of power of all sorts.
If it could be proven that Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld, perhaps Rice, Guiliani and a few others, expedited 9-11, they could be tried for treason, because they attacked the American people directly. Treason cannot be pardoned.
9-11 is the key to the whole neocon agenda. Their script, as laid out in the PNAC report of 2000, a year prior to 9-11, says that America would be attacked by terrorists, so Bush could declare an endless war on terror. As Commander-in-Chief of a nation at war, he has enormous power to issue executive orders and disregard Congress.
Bush has used it to the fullest, obeying the letter of the law when he can, getting Congress to cover his butt retroactively, as with the new FISA law, calling on executive privilege when necessary. In essence, he has rendered Congress powerless and made himself king. Meanwhile, he has used the media and the constant terror warnings to place the American people under an evil spell of fear and compliance.
If the American people could be convinced that 9-11 was an inside job, the spell would be broken and the power of the executive would revert to the limits set on it by the US Constitution. But mountains of evidence have failed to convince the people- they are so unwilling to believe that our leaders could be that evil.
Since Bush cloaks himself in the mantle of Christianity, and even now can count on devotion from ¼ to 1/3 of the voters, it’s hard to challenge his statement that his motive is “to protect America”. Of course, we need to point to the enormous profits he and Cheney have made from the Iraq war, justified by 9-11, via their companies Carlyle and Halliburton. How can they serve two masters, America and their own bank accounts?
Don’t blame Jesus because people are misusing his name.

911 just another plausible deniability PSYOP
Blank Amazing! Very courageous... However, this is really old news. Socrates revealed the truth about the great Greek Republic. Jesus revealed the truth about the world in His time. What kind of world would this be if only a handful of gifted intellectuals knew or could even begin to know the "truth" about 911. Plausible deniability is the basis for all evil. Even the "experts" can't agree upon anything. Today's paradigms are tomorrows superstitions. Stephen Hawking warns us "laymen" of the misguide intellectual superiority of the intelligentsia with his theory on the "black hole information paradox". The only thing we can and should agree upon is that those who rule do so by way of deception. 911... no "proof" is needed other than the knowledge which we all possess... The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? by Steve Wayne (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 5 comments) on Sunday, Sep 7, 2008 at 4:36:34 PM  (0+)

Reply: truth is stronger than deception
Every decent mystery story rests on the premise "truth will out". Your conclusion is one of despair. I have faith and hope, and will work my butt off until they stop me.

Reply: truth depends on a proper investigation
The truth is available, but no one proper investigation has been done. Citizens have investigated many aspects of 9-11, and put together a strong case for implicating people in the Bush administration, but they have no authority to subpoena or call for arraignment. NYC is putting a measure on the ballot for a full investigation- this may give us the truth.

911, and the amazing flying circus
Here are a few more critical aspects and hard realities of the 911 mass murder utterly ignored by the 911 Commission and carefully secreted, undoubtedly, with a fully cooperative media: Why are the aircraft remains from flights 93 and 77 classified? Why are the various videotapes from the Pentagon impact classified, to this day? Why were numerous key persons surrounding the events of 911 gagged - even threatened, while key military, intelligence and political officials that utterly failed were ALL promptly promoted? Why did the Bush syndicate ardently oppose ANY investigation from the start? Why did both Bush - and later Cheney - contact the democratic Congressional leadership to warn about 'an investigation into 911 of too much depth'? Ostensibly, with subpeona power, why did the 911 Commission receive less that 3,000 of the 12,000 documents that it requested from the White House? Why did the arrangement that allowed national Security Advisor to testify, include provisions excluding sworn testimony from Rice's deputy Stephen Hadley, Bush's political adviser Karl Rove, or any other White House official? Why did Bush agree to "appear" before the Commission only with Dick Cheney at his side? Why were no cameras, transcripts or recordings allowed? Why did neither agree to be sworn? Why were all notes taken by the Commission members confiscated by the Secret Service when Bush and Cheney concluded their "conversation" with the Commission members? Why were the repeated, urgent and specific warnings of an unprecedented terrorist attack ignored by the Bush inner circle? Why was antiterrorism expert Richard Clarke removed from Bush's inner circle by Condoleezza Rice in the months before the attacks? Why were decades long Bush family ties with the bin Laden family and the Saudi Royal family completely suppressed throughout the congressional investigation and deliberately omitted by the 911 Commission? (A twenty-eight page, highly detailed report of these critical connections was reviewed and suppressed by both "investigative committees", as per White House demands.) Why were the connections with, and training of, many of the alleged hijackers by US intelligence and military agencies in the months and years before the 911 attacks ignored by the Commission? Why did Jeb Bush, the president's brother, (and Florida governor), leave his state on the evening of 9/11/01 with a massive collection of documents and records from the flight schools that were attended by several of the hijacked aircraft's pilots? Where are the records? What was in the records warranting this effort? Why was the testimony of 118 NY firefighters, that spoke to massive and repeated explosions within the WTC towers after the airliner strikes, (as clearly evidenced in a wide array of on-site videotapes and civilian testimony), unaddressed by the 911 Commission? (Why did the city of New York fight the release of this testimony for over five years, and release it only after numerous court battles?) Why did the $20 million NIST report, conducted by many experts in the field of explosive technologies, ignore, avoid and not test for any possibility of explosives in the demise of either WTC tower - including the collapse of WTC 7? Who had the power to facilitate the unduly fast clearing and disposal of debris at the crime scenes, especially in NY and at the Pentagon? Why? Why would it be necessary, in the conduct of military war drills on 911, to inject large numbers of "phantom" radar images into the civilian radar system that made locating the actual hijacked airliners by the FAA impossible? (Military air drills were taking place hundreds of miles from both the US Capitol and New York City.) Of the myriad air drills in progress on 911, (central to the staggering failures to respond to the attacks), why was only one briefly mentioned in a footnote by the Commission? When key, top-level Pentagon officials offer three sharply contradictory versions of their failures over an eighteen month period, and the members of the 911 Commission know that they are lying, why has this critical aspect of the crime not been addressed? (The 911 Commission members knew the Pentagon officials were lying and considered referring perjury charges to the Justice department.) How, by whom and for what purpose were long-established aircraft intercept procedures and protocols significantly revised only four months prior to 911? How, by whom and for what purpose were the numerous war drills, originally planned for October 2001, re-scheduled for the week of 9/10/2001? How, why and by who's design was Dick Cheney granted unprecedented command and control of all US air defenses only three months before the 911 attacks? Was the Pentagon, or was it not, equipped with a missle defense system on 911, and if so, why did it utterly fail in preventing American Airlines flight 77 from crashing into the building? Why were the results of 'Able Danger', a pre-911 intelligence operation that produced countless red flags about those that would eventually hijack airliners on 911, suppressed by both the congressional investigation and the 911 Commission? Why were numerous FBI operatives prevented from testifying? Why were libraries of Able Danger records destroyed both before and after the 911 attacks? Why was FBI translator Sibel Edmonds fired and gagged, her critical testimony before the 911 Commission ignored? Why was the critical testimony by US Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta not only ignored - but expunged from the 911 Commission transcripts and video archives? With confirmed, widespread identity theft and mistaken identites among the alleged hijackers, why hasn't the FBI revised the original list of the accused? How can the crime of the century be tied to al Qaeda, or anyone, when identities are known to be fraudulent? Why hasn't the FBI charged Osama bin Laden in the attacks on the United States of America on September 11, 2001? Why would ICTS, the Israeli owned company that provided security at Boston's Logan airport, Washington's Dulles airport and Newark's airport, (departure points for all four hijacked airliners), push for, (and receive), legislation to be inserted into the Patriot Act that gave them immunity from any liability in the 911 attacks? Yeah. By complete surprise. No one could have imagined it. Four airliners were hijacked by fanatical Muslims and three reached their targets on September 11, 2001.

Most Americans are aware
Americans are largely aware that the government was involved in the attacks. Most of them support a new investigation, actually what would be the first investigation since the 9/11 Commission was another inside job. The reason Americans are not more vociferous in their demands is that they fear the government. They know the government will kill, torture or imprison anyone that is a threat to them. You don't have to take a long look at our history to understand this intimidation. Americans just want to maintain what they have. They are afraid of losing ground b casting their lot with true patriots who want to see the principles of the Constitution upheld. They want to get their paychecks, their 401ks and vacations but they don't give a damn about community or society. Nothing destroys a country quicker than hyperindividualism and that is what we see in this country, millions and millions of people that are afraid to put their necks on the line to save the country. Honestly the country does not deserve to be saved because it was founded on genocide and slavery. Regardless Americans will continue walking around pretending everything is ok. We are being drugged and poisoned and brainwashed by the corporate media and refuse to do anything about it as a whole. When it comes do it white people find it too difficult to deal with the fact that the whites in power would ever kill them just to get access to foreign oil. Middle and lower class whites have put their hopes and faith is blind racial loyalty for centuries and now that whole edifice has been razed to the ground. Whites are in denial and until they deal with it, 9/11 will continue to be the white elephant in the room. by Nfamous (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 104 comments [48 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Monday, Sep 8, 2008 at 8:58:54 AM (0+)

At first....
I believed the official story. The movie "September Clues" was a real wake up call for me. I was still in disbelief for a long time, but, no any more. Some of the defenders of the official story get just plain ugly. At first I was thinking that these people were paid "shills", but, after realizing how many there were, this is just ludicrous. It seems the MSM has brain washed us into believing that if you question the government, you're being unpatriotic or unamerican. This simply isn't true. Without exposing the government, they WILL do it again. I just can NOT bring myself to calling these people unpatriotic: Listen to this: Kaboom!!! by Bob Smith (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 270 comments) on Monday, Sep 8, 2008 at 4:25:52 PM (0+)

discussion last night
Following a showing of "Architects, Engineers and Scientists Examine the Evidence of 9/11", a group of 10-15 activists discussed the resistance to the obvious truth that the towers, all three of them, were brought down by highly sophisticated demolition techniques, using superthermite, which is not easily obtained. No government agency investigating 9/11- FEMA, NIST, the Pentagon, looked for traces of thermite, which is SOP at any scene where arson might be suspected. Some comments by this group of old-time Northern California activists: People are intimidated- afraid they'll be put on a no-fly list or worse if they ask too many questions. As a previous commentor on this article noted- as long as Americans are comfortable, they'll accept the cover story, and buy, buy, buy- as Bush exhorted us to do after 9/11. The herd mentality prevails- people are afraid of being labeled "deviant". We feel helpless, have nowhere to go with our concerns (this isn't true- some of us are running for Congress, working on impeachment, educating people, putting an investigation initiative on the NYC ballot, etc.) The country is already fascist, and potential whistleblowers are killed or threatened and intimidated.
