9/11: If I knew nothing else about it, I'd know this.

Theories abound. And really, why shouldn't they. What else could possibly be expected when this government, this President, blocked the creation of the commission to investigate the biggest mass murder in American history. And what else could possibly be expected when this President then hand-picked the commission members after losing his battle for "silence"? And then there was the "mission statement" of the commission itself, or rather, the NON-mission statement: "Our purpose is not to assign RESPONSIBILITY for the attacks". This, by the DIRECTIVE of the President AS A CONDITION FOR THE CREATION OF THE COMMISSION.

I want to leave aside all the thermite, the too small holes in the pentagon, even the incredible "failures" or NORAD and the "mysterious" change of command structure by the Vice President. I want to leave aside for now, everything we suspect. It's a mountain, and whether you think the mountain smells like bullshit or not, it's far too big to just go away. No, what I want to talk about is not what we suspect, but WHAT WE KNOW. What we already have learned is a fact, and facts, beyond any reasonable doubt or further arguments, lest those who doubt expose their own patent dishonesty immediately.

I want to talk about Bush, Cheney, and what they've done SINCE 9/11. Because if I knew nothing else about 9/11, I'd know this: Their "conduct" has demonstrated a number of things which are now beyond debate in this country by anyone serious:

They were willing to repeatedly, knowingly LIE about a "nuclear threat" which they KNEW did not exist, to ***justify*** the mass murder of almost three quarters of a million people on false pretenses, and they did it for OIL.


They could NEVER have accomplished their murderous ambition to destroy Iraq for gain, were they not "enabled" by the endless invocations of "nine eleven" as the supposed ***justification***.

We KNOW this is an administration who's ENTIRE OPERATION, has been based on a concept: "The means justify the end". We have seen it from wire tapping, to rendition, to torture, to the theory of "the unitary executive" to Gitmo, to stolen votes to high treason in violation of the 1982 intelligence act which was written to protect CIA operatives working under cover.

In other words, this administration, absent any talk of 9/11 whatsoever, has proven that they are willing to commit mass murder against innocent people, and every other imaginable crime, for an "end justifies the means" "philosophy" designed only to secure their own power and increase it.

KNOWING THIS, why would ANYONE capable of smelling fire, FAIL to suspect the Bush administration from either –at the very least- complicity in 9/11, or outright direct involvement.

I left that question rhetorical because it should be. People, we are dealing here with a group of criminals with proven track records. In LIGHT of that fact, when we do inquire about 9/11, they are, or ought to be, the very first suspects on our list. The fact that what I referred to as a "mountain" has developed, is then not difficult to understand; were they in fact complicit or actually guilty of the attacks, what would one expect from "the prosecution"? A mountain. It's what we have, and regardless of whether or not it smells like B.S. to some, it must be understood that even if only half of it is real, no, a quarter, no a tenth, no, ONE STONE, it's enough to justify the prosecution of these people through a new investigation, independent, and without prejudice.

I post frequently at a political free for all called "debate both sides", and it was there I encountered one of many in a long line of people I suspect of actually working for the government in some capacity, as agents of propaganda for the purposes of shaping public opinion. It was in fact a statement by a key employee of the site who alleges himself to be a liberal, which finally lead me to this tack; "I am certain the government was NOT complicit". The person in question will remain unnamed here, but it is not entirely irrelevant that when I did a little homework, I learned that he's a member of a think tank which also happens to be a "futurist society". "Certain", that was the claim, and a veritable shit-storm following my attempted interrogation of this person online (through questioning) finally resulted in my being banned from the site. This has ultimately lead me to formulate this thesis of probable cause as a response not just to him, but to anyone who misleads, or is mislead. I was also banned at Daily Kos for my very first post, arguing for a re-investigation of 9/11. Was this fear, or was it something more sinister? Consider the word "certain" for a moment. I seldom if ever use it for a reason. Never trust anyone who uses it in times like these. Ever.

So it's something more sinister. Realize therefor, that anytime you read anything, or interact online, regarding the crime of the century, you really don't know who, or what you're dealing with. A little paranoia, just enough to keep you in doubt of the voracity of everyone, will serve you well.

Call them gate keepers, call them whatever you want, but there is a growing assault on the so-called "truth movement", and it's often taking place supposedly from a "liberal" perspective. It takes very few of these "re-directors" to attain a goal: Sycophants are easily gained by self-proclaimed "nay-sayars" and "de-bunkers", for the most common mistake made in a failure of critical thinking, is to confuse it with "popular thinking" and unreasoned "skepticism". Eventually, even the sycophants gain the confidence to become "directors" . "An unconscious agent is an effective agent". How true, especially in all of this.

This article then, is a re-drawing of the lines where I believe they can, and ought to be drawn, to separate the wheat from the chaff. I believe the supposition I've set forward is unassailable. It is enough. Enough to justify a finding of "probable cause" not only to re-open the investigation, but to assign the label "prime suspects for 9/11" to the Bush administration. The case is based only upon known motive, and known conduct after the crime. When a known "molester" moves into the neighborhood, and little boys disappear, It's enough.

Let us then remove the "conspiracy theorist" broad brush from the hands of children, and from their gate keepers by rendering a moot point. Let us return to basics. The "mountain" is still there, and even if it were not, I assure you, a mountain will indeed form as soon as a legitimate, independent re-investigation of 9/11 is conducted.

You were told this crime was committed by Osama Bin Laden 24 hours after it took place, and most of you believed it. Why did you believe it? When you honestly answer that, you will know why what I have put forth ought to be believed after 6 years of proven criminal conduct and continual abuse of power, mass murder, and obstruction of justice. When you honestly examine the record, absent any other claim by so-called "conspiracy theorists", you will be left to look at the "character" and known conduct and choose reason, or to choose the prejudice foisted upon you by a "decider" who's also a proven denier.


Think about that.

I'm alone with my thoughts...

I happened to be by the TV on 9/11, and saw all of the coverage, much of it live. Honestly, my first thought was that it was perpetrated by someone in the US. I then listened to the developing (and changing) news but still was not convinced otherwise. My current feeling is that someone knew it was going to happen, and didn't stop it. I've researched some on the internet, and keep finding flaws in the official story. When I try to talk to those around me, they think I am crazy and paranoid. One question I am always asked is what about the passengers on the plane that hit the Pentagon? I've been unable to find a passenger list, or any type of memorial service. Today I found the video clips on YouTube, but the computer I am using won't allow me to view them. Anyway, I really enjoyed reading your opinion, and look forward to reading more. I'm glad to have found this web site, and look forward to investigating further. I am a great believer in the free press, and am ashamed of how newspapers have buckled under their conservative owners. Thanks for letting me know I am not just paranoid.

Excellent

I've been a "truther" for about 2 years now. There is not a doubt in my mind that those at the top of the US government aided and abetted in the attacks. A woman from Germany told me recently that it's a widespread belief in Europe. It's been discouraging lately that 9/11 truth seems to have dropped off the radar screen. Thanks for your well-written article that should make people think about it again.

DailyKos

DailyKos as well as TPM want nothing to do with 9/11. It's a shame because these two sites could surely help the 9/11 movement. Currently DailyKos is only worried about which Democrat will be elected in which district. Such a pity, such a great site having such a narrow point of view.

What If?

Ok, Let's say a cabal of Globalist bankers and their principal clients all emerged from the shadows, came forward and told their story about how and why they did 9/11? What then? Then the Zionists, Al queda, CIA, ISI(Pakistan) BI (British Intel) and various Industrialists etc. all fessed up and said who they really are and even shared their Agenda with no holds barred frankness, what then? They even admitted how they control your life, what would you do? That's right nothing. So get over it! We're all bought and paid for, fed and housed by these people. Capitalism on the global scale is at best a thinly vieled Facism. Who's gonna be the first to walk away from the trough?

Reply: I am doing something about it: This is what can be done:

I will not "get over it", nor will I get over the War Crimes and Treasons perpetrated by the War mongers who have usurped the Public Offices.

Under Title 18 of United States Code section 1961 et seq. [see 1960(10)] a citizen is empowered to enter upon the Office of the Attorney General of the United States, and exercise the power and authority thereof.  The Supreme Court decision in Rotella v. Wood, (U.S. Tex 2000) upheld that authority, and greatly strengthened it. 

 In federal district court, district of Alaska, case A01-0108CV (JKS) even a hostile district court judge was forced to recognize this authority, and allow me to proceed.  The RICO portion of the case was dismissed for failure to provide conclusive proof, and failure to demonstrate the pattern of racketeering.  Judge Singleton complained that the pleadings were not proper, and that my references to statutes and law were entirely too cursory...  but even though he tried, he was unable to stop me from proceeding under the authority of the Office. 

 I have spent years studying law since then, and will not make the same mistakes the next time around.  The biggest problem that I have in pursuing the action that would bring these criminals to trial, is lack of financial resources to maintain the action properly.

I will conceed that to date there has been no one who has been willing to provide any financial assistance to bring criminals to justice under this authority.  It is not possible to work a full time job and properly maintain the action, and without some type of financial backing the action can not be maintained to a successful conclusion.

For many years I have been under vicious attacks, including having my car bombed and suffering for many months from second and third degee burns.  http://newguards.us/brent/bombing.html

I am able and willing to to go after the criminals in the White House and Public Offices, but have not the financial means to do so.  I'm working on that problem.  As a matter of law, all agencies of the federal government must co-operate and assist me in this endeavor, and the legal expenses must be paid for from the United States Treasury, as a matter of law.

The fact is that none of the agencies of the federal government that I have contacted will obey the law in this regard, and it will be necessary to obtain a court order to obtain compliance with these federal statutes.  This means that any adverse decision in the District court with relation to obtaining compliance must be immediately appealed to the circut court, and any adverse decision in the circut court must be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. To initiate such an action without being capable of doing that would most likely work severe injustice, and not accomplish the desired result.

I wouldn't be so co*k sure that there is nothing anyone can do about it.  I am not talking about that much money to pull it off.  All it would require is for a couple of citizens with decent paying jobs or a few assets to promise to back my hand, and I will do my damndest to bring the War Mongers up on Trial for High Treason and War Crimes; and I will likely succeed.

All we need to obtain justice is a bit of solidarity and perserverance.

Any who will back my hand need to contact me... and not be impatient when I am a bit slow to respond back... I am and have been under attack from these criminals for a very long time.  I have served legal papers on Bush numerous times, and I have no qualms about trying to bring him down:

I you wish to assist me in pursuing this attempt, please contact me.

The sad fact is that it doesn't matter anymore...

It seems to me that, at this point, it wouldn't matter if you had a video tape showing Bush, Cheney, Wolfowiz, Netanyahu, etc., personally placing thermite or explosives inside the WTC buildings. Who's going to do anything about it? Congress? The Justice Dept. or a subordinate agency? The Military? The Courts? I don't know why the fascists even bother to hide *anything* anymore, since there is no opposition whatsoever. The fascists are about to start what may become WW3, and at best, will certainly be the end of anything most would recognize as "America". Even if our rulers and their Zionist handlers are solely responsible for 9/11, as a crime, 9/11 pales in comparison to the crime against Iraq, and the forthcoming crime against Iran.
