BREAKING 9/11 NEWS: FBI Says Barbara Olsen Did Not Call Ted Olsen. Bush Solicitor General LIED !!

Nationally syndicated talk show host Charles Goyette uncovered blockbuster information in his drive-time interview with author David Ray Griffin.

 

A center piece of the increasingly apparent BULLSH*T story our government and corporate media have fed us for six long years was a complete fabrication!



 

We were fed a lie by Ted Olsen who served as Solictor General for the Bush Administration, when on 9/11 he held a press conference to tell America and the world that his dead wife had called him before her demise from the jet she was on that had just been hijacked.

 

Personally, I thought it was odd at the time that a man would decide to hold a press conference minutes after hearing of his own wife’s death, when it happened on 9/11.  If my own wife had just died, the last thing I’d want to do would be to talk to anyone, let alone call a press conference.  It didn’t “smell” right.

 

Now we know why it didn’t smell right.  It was a lie.  The FBI has reported that no such call between Barbara Olsen and Ted Olsen ever took place on 9/11/2001.

 

It was part of the rapidly unraveling scam that is the official story of 9/11.

 

In fact, Griffin went on to explain that there is zero evidence that any hijackers had commandeered a plane at all.  True Bush believers will say, whao, wait a minute, we all know they did.  How do you know?  Because Bush told you.

 

But, as Griffin rightly points out, in this interview, there is no “EVIDENCE” of their existence.

 

Which also reveals that mis-information shill, Popular Mechanics, in their 9/11 interview on the Charles Goyette Show months ago, lied when they told us there was DNA evidence of the so-called Muslim hijackers.  LIES, all lies.

When will corporate media stop their participation in a criminal cover up?  If the former Solicitor General lying to America by creating a complete fabrication he spread around the world through corporate media, is not a story worthy of CNN, FOX, ABC, NBC, CBS, Democracy Now, The Nation, Rolling Stone, PBS, NPR, and all the other fourth estate . . . then they have no right to refer to themselves as media.

 

They should forever in the future refer to themselves as “The Propaganda Ministry.”

So, how can we break through the hijacking of our media in America?  How can we get the mass culture to be exposed to hard questions around 9/11?

 

We must use guerilla tactics, and take opportunities when they come.


 

On January 22nd, 2008, a New York Times best selling novelist, put his career on the line to write an explosive new edu-tainment book called “The Shell Game.”

"The FBI SAYS"

That's not quite fair, Sir. I believe it is a fundamental principle that the one who makes an assertion bears the burden of proof.


The FBI NOT saying that she made a call is NOT the same as the FBI SAYING that she did NOT make a call.

I believe the official story is half-sham and half-scam and I have great doubt calls were made. But if you don't cite the actual FBI report, it's nothing more than hearsay evidence.

The FBI SAYS

Sparticus,

YOU say the burden of proof lies on the asserter. Cool, haven't a problem with that at all.

Now please supply us with PROOF OBL was the architect behind Sept 11.

After all, the US Govt did promise the World they had such proof and we would be seeing it.

Six years down the track and we still haven't seen diddly of it, and on top of that,the FBI do NOT have a warrant for OBL in that regard.

Where is you burden of proof now, buddy ?

Typical US hyperbole, one rule for you, and another for the rest of us.

OK no phone call, whatever

BUt did they get any DNA from anyone unfortunate enough to have been on any of those aircraft? It would seem to me that there wouldnt be anything whatever left of anyone who suffered that fate.

Does anyone know the facts of this matter? I am not a conspiracy theorist, I do not believe that those craft were robot controlled, or that the Towers were destroyed by some science fiction like secret weapon, or anything other than nineteen crazies hijacked three aircraft and everyone died.

Ardee, If the phone call never happened,


Ardee, If the phone call never happened, its absolutely incriminating. (I’m responding to your “whatever” comment.) Ted Olson said Barbara called him on her cell phone, more than once I believe. That is one simple element whom everyone can sympathize with and especially because so many had seen her often on the nightly news shows. It played on everyone's emotions which is a standard propagandistic ploy to draw everyone ever so further -- with their emotions -- into their web of myth, i.e., the Official Story.
When it was proven that the cell phone call would have been an impossibility in 2001, Ted Olson changed his story and said she called from a seatback phone. When he was told that American Airline' 757s did not have seatback phones, he had to change his story back to the impossibility -- saying again it was a cellphone call. Now everybody can see Ted Olson is front and center to the myth of the Official Story -- Ted Olson is a lier. And, more importantly, it is one more proof that 9/11 has been just one big lie; 9/11 was a false flag operation. And, this lie is so straightforward, it ought to be impossible to spin. AND, he lied to everyone right after American Flight 77 “crashed into the Pentagon.” His lie, like the entire lie of course, was planned before 9/11. This isn’t part of the lie they tried to cook up much later. Now, will the media cover this? I’d be surprised as they have hardly covered a damn thing worth covering about 9/11.

If the phone call never happened

I think most are missing the crux of this issue, and it's NOT whether the husband is a liar or not, the REAL issue is;

WHY DID HE FIND THE NEED TO LIE IN THE FIRST PLACE ?

Clearly, this guy knows far more about sept 11 then he's letting on, and the US populace are letting him get away with it.

To my knowledge, no one's has yet questioned him nor focused on this point. IMHO, long overdue.

"The Facts of the Matter"

Yes, well, don't embarrass yourself further.  Your public admission of what you "don't believe," no longer leaves people breathless with wonder.  There is too much information available, and too many people like yourself who, with arms folded akimbo, are proud of their ignorance.

Believe it or not

There are just way too many hinky and unexplainable circumstances to the government's 911 'story'.  Congress willingly ignored and excluded much evidence during their investigation, much like the BS story that was dreamed up after the Kennedy assinations.  (Why were three CIA operatives in the room when Robert Kennedy was killed?)  Indeed why are there so many questions that refuse to be answered.  Personally, I would argue with anyone who feels we live in a free country.  (Relatively free is not at all the same thing) Make enough noise and 'something happens' to you.

Heath WiddowsonHealth care professional and scholar.

Its not a big deal if no one pays attention

The FBI has also admitted that it has no hard evidence connecting formerCIA asset Tim Osman aka Usama Bin Laden to the events either.  Some investigative reporters have pegged Ted Olsen as Bush Crime Family Bagman.  If this is true, and she did not die on 911, maybe someone should question this guy.  BTW isnt he the guy that argued on behalf of Bush in front of the Supreme Court in the 2000 election debacle.

There are many instances  in the photographic record of audio and video evidence including eyewitness testimony of explosions preceding the collapses of the World Trade Center towers and WTC 7 was inarguably a controlled demolition.  Amerericans can believe their own eyes or believe these criminal that have been running our government.  Take a step outside of America and this is all common knowledge.  Short of WWIII and martial law, ie a Bush dictatorship, sooner or later the truth will out.  Many people will still not believe it though, even as they watch our leaders dragged off in chains.

So where's Barbara?

In an undisclosed Dick Cheney location?  That a lot to give up for false gods and country.  Does Ted take a lot of overseas trips?  Maybe she's in the witness protection program.

I'm not being snide, it's just that it raises a lot of questions.

Hell, I'm still trying to remember how and why we think bin Laden was behind 9/11.

There's a lot of mysterious crap surrounding that day, and until we get some real answers there will always be questions and theories.

And Bill, you had some interesting things to say.  I'm going to have a headache for a week trying to read black printed on dark blue.  Please try not to do that.

Thanks,

Sandy

The "Mother" of all 911 lies.

Take a look at this excellent piece. This guy totally destroys Ted Olson's story.

Here is the archived CNN original article. The author is right...it's very odd that the CNN article does not directly quote Ted Olson directly...very odd.

This Ted Olsen lie is apparently another devastating smoking gun.

A clarification from Bill Douglas, David Ray Griffin did not

A clarification from Bill Douglas, David Ray Griffin did not call Ted Olsen a liar, he just pointed out that the FBI said the call did not occur, which leaves open the possibility that Ted Olsen was decieved by someone.

I do, however, believe Olsen was lying.  The discrepancies between what he said and what reality is, are too widespread to be anything but a deliberate deception. The below article is a well laid out chronical of such departures from fact.

The below article excerpt from Joe Vialls of 2002, can be read in full at:

http://www.geocities.com/subliminalsuggestion/olson.html

    Regarding the same event, Fox News reports that, extraordinarily,  Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson then said Barbara Olson's call, made "in the midst of terrible danger and turmoil swirling around her," was a "clarion call that awakened our nation's leaders to the true nature of the events of Sept. 11." 


          So Ted Olson avoided making any direct personal reference to the death of his wife. Clearly this was not good enough for someone somewhere. By the sixth month anniversary of the attack, Ted Olson was allegedly interviewed by London Telegraph reporter Toby Harnden, with his exclusive story “She Asked Me How To Stop The Plane” appearing in that London newspaper on March 5,  thereafter renamed and syndicated around dozens of western countries as “Revenge Of The Spitfire”,  finally appearing in the West Australian newspaper on Saturday March 23, 2002.


          I have diligently tried to find a copy of this story in an American newspaper but have so far failed.  The reasons for this rather perverse “external” publication of Ted Olson’s story are not yet clear, but it seems fair to observe that if he is ever challenged by a Senate Select Committee about the veracity of his claims, the story could not be used against him because it was published outside American sovereign territory.


          Regardless of the real reason or reasons for its publication, the story seems to have matured a lot since the first decoy news release by CNN early on September 12, 2001. Here we have considerably more detail, some of which is frankly impossible. In the alleged words of US Solicitor General Theodore Olson:


          “She [Barbara] had trouble getting through, because she wasn’t using her cell phone – she was using the phone in the passengers’ seats,”  said Mr Olson. “I guess she didn’t have her purse, because she was calling collect, and she was trying to get through to the Department of Justice, which is never very easy.” … “She wanted to know ‘What can I tell the pilot? What can I do? How can I stop this?’ ”


          "What Can I tell the pilot?" Yes indeed! The forged Barbara Olson telephone call claims that the flight deck crew were with her at the back of the aircraft, presumably politely ushered down there by the box cutter-wielding Muslim maniacs, who for some bizarre reason decided not to cut their throats on the flight deck. Have you ever heard anything quite so ridiculous?


          But it is at this juncture that we finally have the terminal error. Though the American Airlines Boeing 757 is fitted with individual telephones at each seat position, they are not of the variety where you can simply pick up the handset and ask for an operator. On many aircraft you can talk from one seat to another in the aircraft free of charge, but if you wish to access the outside world you must first swipe your credit card through the telephone. By Ted Olson’s own admission, Barbara did not have a credit card with her.


          It gets worse. On American Airlines there is a telephone "setup" charge of US$2.50 which can only be paid by credit card, then a US$2.50 (sometimes US$5.00) charge per minute of speech thereafter. The setup charge is the crucial element. Without paying it in advance by swiping your credit card you cannot access the external telephone network. Under these circumstances the passengers’ seat phone on a Boeing 757 is a much use as a plastic toy.


          Perhaps Ted Olson made a mistake and Barbara managed to borrow a credit card from a fellow passenger? Not a chance. If Barbara had done so, once swiped through the phone, the credit card would have enabled her to call whoever she wanted to for as long as she liked, negating any requirement to call collect.


        Sadly perhaps, the Olson telephone call claim is proved untrue. Any American official wishing to challenge this has only to subpoena the telephone company and Justice Department records. There will be no charge originating from American Airlines 77 to the US Solicitor General.

Electrical Engineer
Harold SmithElectrical Engineer

So either Ted Olson's lying, or some woman faked him out?

Let's try and reason this out.

The only way he's innocent is if some unknown woman, claiming to be his wife, called him from somewhere, and pretended to be on the plane, and he fell for it? Because he doesn't know what his wife's voice sounds like? And then he changes his story as to how she made the call?

I don't believe it.

He's obviously lying. And if he's lying, that means he's in on it. If he's in on it, then he must have known it was going to happen as it did. And if he knew what was going to happen, then, that means he basically either helped murder his wife, or she's in on it too. And if she was in on it, then right now she's sitting pretty somewhere after collecting a life insurance payout and whatever payoff she was given from the conspirators.

This is utterly fantastic...makes you wonder, how deep does this rabbit hole go? There must be a bunch of people in the FBI, CIA, NIST, etc. that know the whole thing is a giant scam.

If we had a real government, this one issue alone would be enough to trigger a real investigation.

The Media Cartel Lies to Shut Down Public Access TV

If they will lie to shut down an avenue for the truth to get out to large audiences, they will lie about anything.  See the video of my comment at a Hillsborough County Commission meeting asking why they are calling increases in revenue and expenditures cuts. Step into the Twilight Zone where an increase is a cut, if you dare. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5130063694565191849

Google pretends that this video has only been seen a couple of times, but Google admitted that its counters were not working right after I caught them resetting them.  The misinformation is greater than most can even imagine.

Everyone knows that the people are supposed to be able to peacefully remove bad leaders through elections, but what if those who control the machines, and their secret vote count, want bad leaders in power? Is there another way that citizens can prevent abuse of power without resorting to violence?

Yes, there is or was another way to hold our governors accountable without resorting to violence. A few of you may already know about this, but if not, I’m sure that you’ll want to find out about the other civil check on government abuse of power that our Founders provided for us.
