9/11: Healing from Abuse

By Bill Douglas

Emotional and psychic healing from 9/11 is critical to human progress.

::::::::

9/11: Healing from Abuse

We have all heard stories about daughters molested by fathers or step-fathers, where the mother knows, but is unable to admit that she knows or confront the situation. This leaves a wounded home and psyche that can take decades to heal from if ever. When we see movies about these situations, as viewers we get so angry at the blind mother because she won't see what is right in front of her face. Knowing that IF ONLY she would open her eyes, so much suffering could end and the healing could begin, rather than the long endless agony that is so damaging and so unnecessary.

We were all traumatized by 9/11, and there is great healing to be done. However, the real trauma is not as much from the events on 9/11 as the fact that we were lied to about those events, and our world is being raped every day using that lie. Emerging evidence [some listed below] clearly suggests that 9/11 was a false flag operation where elements of our own govt. attacked their own people on 9/11, in order to whip Americans up to allow wars that would occupy oil rich areas of the world.

Although, as pointed out in the below polls, fewer and fewer argue against this knowledge, but for the few who still do cling to the increasingly obvious lie of the official 9/11 story, realize two things. One, throughout history governments have often attacked or allowed their own citizens to be attacked to fool their populations into wars. Two, the US Joint Chiefs of Staff in the early 1960's unanimously signed off on Operation Northwoods, a covert military operational plan that called for having our own forces attack our own people and our own military soldiers, causing death and destruction to our own people . . . in order to fool our people into a war with another nation. Look up "Operation Northwoods," it is public record. The only reason these staged "attacks on our own people" didn't occur is because President Kennedy stopped it and fired its author from the Joint Chiefs. But again the entire US Joint Chief's of Staff had ALL signed off on this insane plan, up to Kennedy.

For the dwindling hold outs in our American population who still cling to the official 9/11 story, your clinging is without merit. The evening news and newspaper will likely give you a few "excuses" so that you may comfortably cling to the official 9/11 lie, because they have ignored facts and evidence about 9/11 for years now.

It is critical to understand, that nearly everything anyone reads in major newspapers, or sees on TV, is controlled by a handful of corporations. The talking heads are fed lines by their producer, anyone who's been in a television studio knows that. It would only require a small handful of people to shift the tide of what media looks at and considers. Watch the news critically and you'll notice a "herd" effect, where all networks will focus on some "rape" or "murder," for example. Folks, rapes and murders happen all over this country and world every day. Who decides that ALL the networks will obsess over one of them at the same time? You'll often notice on the Jon Stewart show where he'll show clips from all the main news channels, and they are all USING THE VERY SAME PHRASES OR LINES on a particular story, as if all the networks have the same script writer.

Fascist dictator, Benito Mussolini, wrote, "Fascism is best described as corporatism, for it is the marriage of corporations and government." Fair Media, a media watch group, found that in weeks leading up to the war in Iraq, over 90% of the talking head experts brought on major network news shows were "for the war." Only 4% of the guests were "skeptical of opposed to the war." Skepticism to the idea of going to war in Iraq was shared by tens of millions of Americans at that time, as evidenced by the largest worldwide protests against the war, just before it was launched. Who decided that ONLY 4 PERCENT of corporate media's guests would voice skepticism about going to war?

Nazi propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, explained that propaganda is not meant to fool the intelligencia . . . but only to give them an excuse, so that they can more comfortably look away from the truth. Life is more comfortable, when we don't rock the boat. Just as the mother who could easily see her daughter is being molested and raped if she forced herself to look at the ugly truth, but will rather latch onto any excuse that supports the delusion that this rape is not occurring.

The first excuse media will give you to look away from the ongoing abuse perpetrated on our nation and the world by the lies of 9/11 is the defamation of anyone who questions the official 9/11 story. Our media has systematically unleashed attacks on nearly anyone who has questioned the official story, labeling them as insane, irrational, unstable. The facts are that most people coming to question the official 9/11 story are highly respected people in various fields. I'll name a few.

Former Chief Economist under George Bush, and professor at Texas A&M, Morgan Reynolds * Former Director of Advanced Space Programs Development for the U.S. Air Force, under President Reagan, and combat fighter pilot, Col. Robert Bowman (Caltech Phd in aeronautics and nuclear engineering) * Former CIA Intelligence Advisor to Reagan and George HW Bush and founder of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, Ray McGovern * Former department head at UL (Underwriter Laboratories) the company which certified the steel which went into the WTCs upon their construction, and inspected it after the WTC collapses in 2001, Kevin Ryan * Former assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Research Fellow at Stanford's Independent Institute, and former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal, Paul Craig Roberts * Former Canadian National Defense Minister, the Honourable Paul Hellyer * Minister for the Environment, and Member of Parliament (United Kingdom), Michael Meacher * National Minister of Defense (Germany), Andreas Von Buelow * Former Chief of Staff of the Russian armed forces, and chief of the department for General affairs in the Soviet Union 's ministry of Defense, General Leonid Ivashov * Former MI6 British Counter Intelligence Officer, David Shayler * Distinguished McKnight University Professor of Philosophy at the University of Minnesota, former Marine Corps officer, author or editor of more than 20 books, and co-chair of Scholars For 9/11 Truth, James Fetzer * Professor of Physics, Brigham Young University, and co-chair of Scholars For 9/11 Truth, Steven Jones * Emeritus Professor of Philosophy of Religion & Theology, Claremont Graduate University, and author or editor of some 30 books, including "The New Pearl Harbor" and "The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions" David Ray Griffin * Professor of mathematics, University of Western Ontario, and founder of the Scientific Panel Investigating Nine-Eleven (SPINE), A.K. Dewdney * Aircraft crash investigation authority, USAF Col. (Ret) George Nelson * Former chief Pentagon arms negotiator for the Middle East, USAF Col. (Ret) Don de Grand-Pre * Daniel Ellsberg, former military analyst employed by the RAND Corporation * Actor, Charlie Sheen (Platoon, Wall Street, etc.) * Actor, Ed Asner * Actor, Ed Begley, Jr.

These people listed are by no means alone in their thinking. Again, Zogby polls (official Reuters Polling Service) found that nearly 50 PERCENT OF AMERICANS SUSPECT 9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB, and a clear majority want a new investigation that looks at whether elements of our own government played a role in the 9/11 attacks. Other non-scientific polls like CNN found much higher percentages, up to 89 PERCENT believe 9/11 was an inside US govt. job.

The second "excuse" our corporate media will give you, is that the official story makes perfect sense, implying anyone who doubts it of questionable sanity. If you've read articles or watched interviews with those questioning the official story, most of those articles or programs in the past have suggested sometimes outright, and sometimes more subtly that those questioning the official 9/11 story are "tin foil hat" wearers. You'll often note that the facts they present are ignored over insults, or impugning the motives of the guest or interview subject. One oft used term is "Bush hater," as if anyone looking at inconvenient facts would do so out of hatred for our President rather than perhaps, for love of country. I would imagine that the raping father would react the same way if the mother found the courage to confront him. With outrage and maybe tears in his eyes saying, "Why would you say something like that? Do you hate me that much to suggest that I could do anything like that?"

However, when you actually take time to look at the facts of 9/11, you quickly realize that 9/11 was an inside job by the US govt. The very idea that 19 ragtag Moslem extremists directed by some guy in a cave could have fooled the most powerful multi-trillion dollar intelligence and defense machine in history . . . is impossible to believe, if you look past the media propaganda.

FACTS:
1) WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 were the first steel reinforced skyscrapers in engineering history to ever collapse because of fire. It doesn't happen, never has, and never will . . . except, on 9/11/2001, when three buildings made history and defied the laws of physics. Fire, even jet fuel fire does not burn nearly hot enough to melt steel, which is the only way the buildings could have fallen at the speed they did (see below).

2) Analysis at the Brigham Young University Physics Dept. recently found traces of "thermate" on debris from the WTC towers [fortunately not all forensic evidence was destroyed, see below]. Thermate is a patented controlled demolition explosive. It would not have been on WTC debris, unless "controlled demolition" was involved in the collapse of the towers.

[The Mayor of NYC quickly exported the steel debris of the WTCs to India and China to be destroyed immediately after 9/11. The editor of Fire Engineering Magazine cried foul, saying NEVER before in fire forensic history has forensic evidence been destroyed like this before a full forensic analysis can occur.]

3) Just as the govt. tried to stop any 9/11 investigation at all (9/11 family members had to fight for it), they also tried not to release the tapes of firefighters, etc. in NYC on 9/11. Now that some are finally released we know that many firefighters heard several explosions in the towers BEFORE the towers were hit by a plane, and also after.

4) Video is available where you can see flashes in the towers before their collapse on several floors, which is identical to the flashes seen in a controlled demolition.

5) The official story would have us believe that because there were fires on two floors around the 95th floor of WTC 1, that somehow all 100 floors of the tower had their steel melt almost simultaneously. That would be the only way the building could fall at "free fall" speed, which is how fast they fell on 9/11. The steel didn't groan and twist as it would in a building collapse, but it disappeared just below the top as it came down, as only a controlled demolition could do.

6) It would take hundreds of pounds of thermate charges, and several days at the very least before 9/11 to set the charges.

7) Marvin Bush (brother of the President) was on the board of the security firm that handled WTC security. This is of interest because New York Newsday and others have reported "security anomalies" at the WTCs in days leading up to 9/11. Drills were conducted that caused employees to be evacuated out of certain parts of the WTCs at various times. Also, the normal routine of bomb-sniffing-dogs were mysteriously called off in days leading up to 9/11.

8) For nearly one and a half hours on 9/11, four commercial jets flew over the most protected airspace in the world, crashing into buildings . . . yet not one . . . I repeat, not one . . . fighter interceptor jet arrived until it was too late.

[In August 2006, the 9/11 Commissioners admit that they had been lied to by either the FAA or DOD about the defense breakdown of 9/11. This was obvious to anyone years before when the lies were taking place. Why did the Washington Post only report it in August of 2006? Perhaps they had no choice, because days before Vanity Fair Magazine had a 4 page 9/11 Conspiracy article, and C-SPAN had run an hour and a half program exposing that 9/11 was an inside job, that ran during prime time spots four times the week before the Wash Post article.]

9) Normal FAA and DOD procedures call for USAF intercept of ANY aircraft going more than 15 degrees off course. This happens routinely and happened over 60 times in 2001 . . . except not on 9/11. The average intercept time was 15 minutes from the point of notification, which happens immediately when a plane goes more than 15 degrees off course.

10) "SOMEONE" scheduled more war games involving fake hijackings and other air attacks that moved most of the USAF interceptor jets out of the US and Northeast on 9/11, than had ever been scheduled on one day . . . on 9/11. Who ordered these war games? Some researchers suggest Cheney did.

11) These war games confused FAA and DOD employees and prevented their normal efficiency at intercepting off course planes . . . once the first plane hit the first WTC on 9/11 . . . the war games should have been called off immediately . . . but they weren't . . . they were allowed to go on . . . who ordered them to go on, while planes kept smashing into buildings on 9/11? Why has that person not been held accountable for criminal negligence, at the very least?

12) Evidence suggests Cheney had given orders NOT to follow normal FAA and DOD procedures to intercept and if necessary to prevent greater loss of life "shooting down" hijacked planes. Transportation Secretary, Norm Minetta, was in the bunker with Cheney on 9/11. He testified that an aid entered the room several times, saying, "Sir, it is 50 miles out . . . sir, it is 30 miles out . . . sir, it is 10 miles out, do the orders still stand?"

According to Minetta, Cheney nearly bites the aids head off shouting, "Of course the orders still stand, have you heard anything different?!!"

This order had to have been to allow the aircraft to hit the Pentagon, because as rtd. USAF Lt. Colonel, Robert Bowman has said, if the Govt. had done NOTHING the planes would be intercepted and shot down if necessary. It would take a direct order from someone to stop normal FAA and DOD intercept procedures. THAT is why this aid kept asking if "the orders still stand."

[After Scholars for 9/11 Truth member, Professor James Fetzer, pointed out the above on FOX News, two days later Norm Minetta quietly resigned his post as Transportation Secretary. Fetzer claims it is so that he will not be forced by media to answer questions about his testimony of Cheney's actions, now that he is a private citizen.]

Kyle Hence of 9/11 Citizens Watch recently published a list of questions that should be answered in a new 9/11 investigation regarding the NORAD air defense failures of 9/11/2001. The fact that they weren't asked before is disturbing, to say the least.

Ø Who was responsible for scheduling multiple war games and terror exercises involving aircraft for Sept. 11th
Ø Who moved "Global Guardian" normally scheduled for October to September?
Ø Who designed the war games to involve 'hijackings'?
Ø Who planned and scheduled the movement of Airforce aircraft north to Canada, Alaska and Greenland?
Ø Who planned the terror exercise at the NSA involving an evacuation in response to threat from the air?
Ø Who was "hands-on" responsible for coordinating all the war games the morning of September 11th?
Ø Who would have been responsible for turning off the war games to enable a timely real world response to the attacks?
Ø How were as many as 21 false radar blips or possible targets (per Jane Garvey) inserted into FAA radar screens?
Ø Who was responsible for the identification of ghost flight 11 which
allegedly continued to fly south past Manhattan and which may have
caused NORAD's Langley intercept jets to vector North toward NYC rather than D.C.? [NOTE by Kyle Hence: John Farmer of the 9/11 Commission said to me personally that the 9/11 Commission was never able to identify the individual for this information--to resolve this anomaly.]*

Ø Why was there no reference to the pattern of 9/11 Commission cover-up including that of Able Danger as revealed by Capt. Scott Philpott?

=================
The bottom line question that corporate media refuse to answer and which
the 9/11 Commission ignored is who, specifically, would have been
responsible for creating the circumstances that led to the confusion or
fog the morning of 9/11 and who should have immediately ceased any and
all war gaming activity and deceptive radar data?

To begin to answer these questions journalists intent on getting answers
to questions long asked by the families and others should visit:

The other main "excuse" corporate media will try to offer you is the "oh, how could such a large scale covert operation, or "conspiracy," be kept secret? Someone would have come forward." Realize that most govt. leaks happen because some policy maker benefits from that leak. An operation like this would have had at its heart only 15 or 20 people experts suggest, and perhaps as many as several hundred bit players. Bit players are those who don't know the entire plan, they only work on a "need to know basis." This would mean that they don't have enough information to "blow the whistle on anything." If one of these bit players had pangs of conscience and wanted to come forward, they would have no "smoking gun" to offer the media, and these players have watched the media savage most people who question the 9/11 story of the govt., so what would be gained by destroying ones career and life by coming out with their limited information, that wouldn't prove anything by itself.

To pull off an operation like this would only require, A) confusing the FAA and DOD on 9/11 with war games and air drills, and in Cheney's case calling off the remaining fighter interceptors, B) planting thermate charges in the WTCs to be detonated later around the impact time of the aircraft on 9/11, and C) remote controlling the aircraft into their targets on 9/11. Folks, this doesn't require an army of people to pull off.

They, the corporate media, may offer you an "excuse" to turn away from the rape of the world, by claiming that it is ridiculous to think that large aircraft could be remote controlled. They are lying if they say this. The technology to remotely fly and land large aircraft has been around for years. Actually, the supposed 19 hijackers (several of whom are actually now known to be alive. BBC reports.) were "terrible pilots" according to the trainers at the flight schools they attended where they only flew small Cessnas, and very poorly at that. Yet, the official story claims these "terrible pilots" executed highly sophisticated aeronautical feats on 9/11 striking perfect bulls eyes with 100 percent accuracy. Remote controlling the aircraft into the towers and Pentagon on 9/11 is MUCH more plausible of a hypothesis than the fairy tale that these "terrible pilots" could pull off the feats that many experienced pilots doubt they could have pulled off.

So, the A, B, and C tasks mentioned above, would not require a huge number of people to carry out. What it would require is a compliant media. In the past historical records show that when the CIA has implemented coup-de-tats in countries, first they have placed plants or agents in key positions in the media, in order to control the spin of the story. In Iran in the 1950s when the CIA overthrew the democratically elected President there, estimates are they had infiltrated about 70% of Iranian media before the coup was staged.

It would be naïve to think that a coup such as the one carried out on 9/11/2001 by elements of our govt. would not first have shored up key media to spin the story a certain way to deflect from real examination. When I pointed this out to a friend who worked at a major newspaper, he scoffed, "What, you think everyone that works at our paper is a CIA agent?"

First of all, I don't believe the 9/11 attacks were an "official" CIA operation, but rather the work of rogue elements within several branches of govt. including the White House. But, to the point, it doesn't take that kind of mass infiltration of the media to get the desired outcome. It only takes one person at a morning editorial meeting (of a dozen or so crucial national media) to say every time any 9/11 fact comes up, "Oh my God. Not that nut-ball stuff. You're not telling me that we should even consider this lunatic crap, are you?" And anyone who observes human nature will admit this is enough to stop the 9/11 facts from coming up. HOWEVER, on "local" news, the truth about 9/11 is beginning to appear more and more commonly, and the local newspeople often are covering 9/11 skeptics as a straight story, rather than "savaging" their guests with pre-scripted attacks. Why is it that local news doesn't march to the same marching orders as major national media? Coincidence? More likely because the "plants" who have thwarted attempts in any editorial meetings to look at the lies of 9/11, were only placed in the dozen or so major media.

Yet, the largest impediment to the truth coming out hasn't been infiltration of media, but self-censorship. Bush and Cheney laid it out after 9/11 that anyone who wasn't with us, is against us. This put any media who would question the official story in the camp of being "against us." This trick is old as the hills, nothing new here. Attack your own people, blame it on external terrorists, and assert that now it is "us" against "them," thereby cowing your media and quashing dissent.

Again, once you look at the facts of 9/11 the official story falls apart like a soggy napkin, and you can hardly believe how you could have ever believed it at all. BUT, as Nazi propagandist, Joseph Goebbels said, propaganda is not meant to fool the intelligencia, but to give them an excuse . . .

Our world is being raped daily because of the lies of 9/11. Our economy has shifted heavily away from human needs and development and towards a permanent war economy for as far into the future as we can see. Meanwhile funds that could've catapulted us toward clean cheap renewable energy solutions that could help end global warming . . . are not happening because the funds are going to the endless war.

Moslems in the United States and worldwide are being blamed for the events of 9/11 that they did not execute. If any Moslems were involved they were likely agents of the covert operation, or patsies used by them. Records show that several of the alleged hijackers were trained on US military bases prior to 9/11.

In some ways officially, but in real life all Moslem's have suffered from the lies of 9/11. Again, if any Moslems were actually involved, they were patsies, who may have thought they were on a mission but were not really in control of it, as they did not have the skills or power to pull it off.

Americans are now routinely being spied on. Records show that it isn't terrorists who are often the targets, but any group disagreeing with government policies, such as Quaker peace groups in America.

Jewish people have suffered greatly from a rumor spread after 9/11 that 4,000 Jewish people didn't show up to work at the WTCs on 9/11, because they "knew" it was going to happen. No one knows where this rumor came from, but it was spread quickly after 9/11. In covert coups or self-sabotage operations there are many contingency plans that are executed simultaneously to get attention away from the facts and the real perpetrators. When Kyle Hence of 9/11 Citizens Watch approached Chris Matthews of MSNBC Hardball with Chris Matthews at a book signing, Hence said he handed Matthews information on 9/11. Hence said after he gave the packet to Matthews and urged him to look into it, Matthews looked up at Hence with a smirk, and said, "What, you gonna tell me the Jews did it?"

This false rumor spread by we don't know who had turned Matthews' mind off from looking at the real facts of 9/11 that point to not Israel, or Jewish people, but rather elements of our own government. Imagine the effect this false rumor had on New York media. New York media would be the biggest threat to uncovering the ugly truth that 9/11 was an inside job, because they were personally affected by the 9/11 attacks more than other media. It would be imperative to have a way to turn off the minds of the New York media, and New York is obviously very sensitive to anti-Semitism not only because New York has a large Jewish population who would be turned off by it, but because most if not all New Yorkers, including those in the media have Jewish friends and would be repulsed by a suggestion that Jewish people were at the core of 9/11.

Again, I can't say this enough because there has been an attempt to smear 9/11 truth seekers with this anti-Semitic lie and rumor, the anonymous rumor is a lie. BUT, as we saw with Chris Matthews it worked beautifully for the criminals of 9/11, trying to draw New York media attention away from even considering the real facts of 9/11.

My point is that Jewish people have suffered because of 9/11 perhaps as much as Moslem people have suffered from the lies of 9/11. Imagine how this viscious rumor has added fuel to the flames of anti-Semitism worldwide. Jewish people worldwide will suffer from this lie for many years to come. The rape of millions worldwide is a psychic rape that has wounded the world for years to come, by twisting reality so that we'd support oil wars, and leaving Jewish people, Moslem people, Americans, Iraqis, Afghanis, and countless others damaged in the wake.

It is time to take off the blinders. To cling to an official 9/11 story that simply does not make sense, and defies the laws of physics, so that you don't have to face the discomforting facts of reality . . . is like allowing your little daughter to be raped night after night after night . . . simply because it is more "comfortable" to accept obvious lies, than to begin the ugly difficult task of facing discomforting truth.

My father served in the 45th Infantry Division, under General Patton, and the 45th was the first US military to reach and liberate the Dachau concentration camps. Dachau was the first German concentration camp built. My father and his comrades were so outraged at what they found in Dachau that they went to the local suburban Dachau residents who had read their Nazi propaganda newspapers over their morning coffee, and listened to their propaganda radio in their comfortable homes in the evening . . . and pretended not to know what was going on near their homes in the Dachau camps. My fathers' division pulled them out of their comfortable suburban dreams and forced these people to help bury the bodies so they'd have to face the truth they had so long pretended not to see.

My father said the German Dachau suburbanites HATED him for forcing them to see the truth. After years of facing the truth of 9/11, and the reality that we have launched illegal wars based on lies and created hell for Jewish people and Moslem people by buying into the lies of 9/11 . . . and as I've tried to share this truth with others

. . . I have seen in some fellow suburban Americans faces that same hate . . . as I have shown them a picture of reality that runs anathema to the comforts of suburban life . . . just as my father did 60 years ago in Dachau.
