In the Name of All who Died on 9/11, We Must Act Now

George Bush says that he entered the “war against terror” to avenge the deaths of 3,000 Americans who died on 9/11.

 

Three-thousand Americans did die on 9/11 and, even though I am a Canadian and not an American, I honor every one of them.  But, in my view, they did not die in an act of foreign terror.

 

I allege that they died at the hands of unknown parties under the direction of President George Bush and Vice-President Dick Cheney.

 

This September 11, let’s remember how they died and why they really died. Because we now stand on the verge of perhaps the biggest catastrophe that we could ever conceive if we behave like sheep around 9/11 and allow America to go to war with Iran.

 

Let's review the events of that day.

 

Remember the Fox employee who reported from the street that the second plane to hit the World Trade Center did not look like a passenger plane? It had no windows, he said, and it had no logo like any he had ever seen.

 

It was not a passenger plane. It was a military drone. The first time the United States considered using military drones was in the Lyman Lemnitzer/Joint Chiefs’ plan called the Northwoods Document (google) in the early 1960s. Drones have been used to test the impact on planes of jet-fuel crashes for decades.

 

When the second plane hit WTC 2, that would have been the first crash that you and I observed on TV that day. The networks did not catch the first crash.  The film that the French crew shot was aired the next day.

 

But George Bush could tell an audience a while later that he saw the first crash while he was on his way into the Florida classroom. What channel might he have been watching that none of the rest of us had access to? How was whoever filmed it able to catch a plane crashing into the WTC when no one else knew about it?  I argue that the coincidence is improbable.

 

No reinforced steel and concrete building before or since WTCs 1 and 2 has collapsed because of a fire.

 

Yet there is that small matter of a 48-storey building that did collapse because of a fire.  A little known building. You may have overlooked it, although it proves the fraudulence of the whole 9/11 scenario.

 

It was that other WTC building. WTC 7.  It had an office fire in it. Just paper burning.  No plane  and no great degree of debris hit it.  And yet, at around 5:30 p.m. on 9/11, owner Larry Silverstein gave the order to “pull it.”  Pull a 48-storey building with a small fire in it. Well, as I recall, nothing surprised us on 9/11 after the Twin Towers collapsed.

 

But, nevertheless, “pulling it” is a demolition term for bringing the building down in a controlled explosion.

 

Notice in the videos of that day, which we may see again this year, that the New York firemen on the street receive an order to clear the area some time before Building 7 comes down (I think it was an hour before) and then blam! Down it comes.

 

Silverstein told the command of the FDNY to pull Building 7 and the command did. Did the FDNY command say to Silverstein: "What do you mean - pull it?" After all, how would the FDNY know that Building 7 was rigged with thousands of thermate cutter charges to "pull"? Does that not suggest that the FDNY command was also "in the know," before 9/11 or during?

The video shows WTC 7 neatly falling into its own center and then collapsing straight down, just like a controlled demolition. Well, if it was a controlled demolition, the thousands of thermate charges needed to do it could not have been positioned that day.  They must have been positioned before 9/11.

Thank You , Sherry

Thanks, Sherry.

I'm so happy that you were prepared to overlook the nickel/dime and see the bottom line. I sit here, perhaps a few days away from an attack on Iran, which will dump -- who knows what?  A thousand tons of depleted uranium (DU) into the atmosphere?  500 tons?  3,000 tons?  How could I possibly know? I am obliged to write on matters which are military secrets.

But I face the necessity of speaking out, without expert knowledge, without the time to research my facts as well as I usually do, without the time to gather more facts than I have.

Every night, when I go to bed, I ask myself: have I done enough? Every morning when I wake up, I ask: is there more I can do?  

Once that "Shock and Awe" assault happens, what?  Do I know that it will be game over for Mother Earth? No.  Do I know we will all die?  No.

But some radiation experts I trust have said that we invite a monumental, irreversible, global catastrophe if we tax the Earth's system with more DU.  They say that an infinitesimal dose of DU will cause havoc with our systems and eventually kill us. Is it wise to risk it? No. Is there a moral imperative, or even a good reason, to risk it? No.

So the fact that you would hear the kernel of my concern and never mind if I said this point poorly or made a typo here or a mistake there means a lot to me.

You can be assured that here I am, for another day, looking at my keyboard, going over the research that I have, apparently with only days to go, risking being silenced, risking looking insane, wondering what more I can do, what more I can say.

On Sept. 11, 2001, I, a Canadian, was an American. On Sept. 4, 2007, I am a citizen of Earth. I am fighting for the continued existence of the Earth.

Thank you for getting me and getting the urgency of the situation.

The One Era in Human History....

 

Allow me to add to and correct some of the matters I wrote in my article. 

The significance of the BBC reporting the collapse of WTC 7 a half hour before it happened is that the mistake reveals foreknowledge on someone's part.  Whoever is the source of that press release - the one who ordered it, the one who wrote it, I don't know - had foreknowledge that WTC 7 was going to come down.  Foreknowledge reveals intent.  

As I said before, anyone intending that WTC 7 come down could not have brought it down by simply throwing a stick of dynamite in it.  They would have had to prepare the thousands of thermate cutter charges in exactly the right pattern and sequence of firing before 9/11. If they did, where does that leave the story of 19 Arab hijackers with boxcutters?

I did not mention in the story that, though Osama bin Laden was wanted for the 1998 African embassy bombings, he was treated in an American military hospital in Dubai in June or July 2001 (stories differ) and spoken to by the local CIA chief  (For my source on this and all points made here, see my 9/11 files on www.freewebs.com/truthseeker22 . I'm sorry, but time is too precious for me right now to hunt down references.  But my references are all there).

Moreover, on September 11th itself, the Americans surely knew where bin Laden was. He was again in hospital, this time in Pakistan, being treated for his renal condition.  Influential Americans (see my website for details) met with a top Pakistani ISI general and are alleged to have handed him $100,000 to pay to Mohammed Atta on the morning of September 11. American leaders were therefore in touch with the same Pakistani army that guarded bin Laden in his hospital room.

Bin Laden has never been charged with the crimes of 9/11. Go to the FBI's website and check it out for yourself. The FBI has said that they do not have sufficient evidence to warrant charges being laid. (See my website.)

The rather stocky man who played bin Laden in the Nov. 2001 video was right-handed, as you will see when he writes and eats. Bin Laden himself was known to be left-handed.

I doubt whether bin Laden remains alive, personally.  That would explain why, though Congress recently doubled the price on his head to $50 million, President Bush reacted with an air of unconcern.

There is so much more -- the impossibility of a passenger airliner flying in the tight bank that the second drone did before striking the South Tower,  the impossible pod on the belly of a "passenger airliner," Rumsfeld's second slip-up in saying that a missile brought down Flight 93, the huge number of "put" options on American and United Airline stock immediately prior to 9/11, the fact that President Bush's brother Marvin was in charge of security for the World Trade Centre and also worked for the WTC insurer who eventually paid Larry Silverstein $7 billion in settlement, the closure of the WTC a week or two before 9/11 for the installation of a new "Internet cable," the removal of the bomb-sniffing dogs thereafter, the immediate shipping of all the steel to China for recycling - on and on the list goes.

And this is not evidence that is freely available.  This is evidence that investigators have patiently dug up. The cover-up, justified on grounds of national security, makes finding out matters about 9/11 very difficult - as it is meant to do.

How then can 9/11 investigators be rightly criticized for having just an isolated fact here and an isolated fact there? Who among the real conspirators is making it easy to find the truth out?  And how is it just to ask 9/11 investigators to"tell us what happened" when the truth of what happened is being tightly guarded by every official concerned?

Investigators can know what does not make sense, but it is more difficult to know what the truth is.

But the truth will emerge. People who retire will tell what they saw. Whistleblowers will risk their careers to tell what they know. People whose consciences bother them will eventually confess.

Documents will later be declassified - like the Groves Memorandum of 1943 that says that the United States knew then that depleted uranium was a killer and could not be protected against but still should be developed as a weapon.  Or the Northwoods Document of 1962 that recommended staging a "false-flag" explosion of a drone airliner off Cuba to justify a war against that country. (The basics for 9/11 were available in 1962.)

Everyone will know.

What more can be said to raise a doubt in the mind of Americans?  What more can be said to have them stop a regime that will impose martial law on them and end the experiment in freedom and democracy that America is?  What more can be said to halt a war that could be the end of us all?

I lived in the one era of human history - the post-WWII times - when entire nations enjoyed human rights and due process of law.  What ending will be written to that story?  Will it be: And then human rights and due process of law vanished from the Earth as quickly as they had come?
