9/11

As the tenth anniversary of 9/11 approaches, one can’t help but see and hear how much this event is still in our consciousness. From the preparations of memorial ceremonies, to the ongoing conspiracy theories, to healthcare offerings for those who were in the zone of Ground Zero, it seems a constant mantra.

For myself, beyond the horrifying images of the two jet planes smashing into the Twin Towers, their stunning collapse and all the human destruction, beyond the numbing reality of over one million body fragments to be DNA identified, beyond the emotional pangs within all of us who knew someone directly who was killed by this demonic act of terror, beyond the vulnerability left our nation, I’m bothered by too, too many questions that refuse to go away.

1) Why haven’t we rebuilt the Twin Towers so to help remove the psychic hole that will never leave those of us who lived while they were standing?

As long as we remember where they used to be, there will always remain the longing to see them again.

2) Why did the ground zero rebuilding become so political?

Any memorial considered would still be applicable with the rebuilding of the Twins.

3) Why were the testimonies from eyewitnesses to the events disregarded?

Some of these people were part of the custodial staff and security of the two buildings. They heard explosions just before the towers collapsed. Many eyewitnesses were immediately interviewed by the press corp. just after they escaped the building, saying that as they were running down the stair well of the first tower, when they came to the lobby, it looked as if a bomb blast had just occurred. One woman reported she saw bodies and a lady with her face blown off.

4) Why did the two towers collapse neatly vertically down as in the same manner during construction demolition?

5) Why was the concrete pulverized as opposed to “pan caked” as when vertically collapsing a building through controlled demolition?

When Governor Pataki visited the site, he gasped, “There’s no concrete…it was pulverized.”

6) Why, as seen in multiple videos, was red and orange flashing emanating from around the middle of Tower 2 and popping sounds. First there was one, then repeated flashes and popping going around the circumference of the tower before it collapsed.

7) Why was there a remarkable symmetrical 1,400 feet diameter of debris field consisting mainly of completely dismembered structural steel framing.

8) Why, within the four to twelve inches of dust, were there perfectly sphere iron-rich particles, about one micron (0.001 mm) to 1.5mm?

These micro-spheres must have been formed at extreme temperatures exceeding the melting point of iron (2,700 degrees Fahrenheit). The spheres must have been molten when they were created in order to take their ball-like shape. Such high temperatures could not have been produced by jet fuel, which even under the most severe of conditions, reach only up 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit.

However, thermite reaction produces molten iron and aluminum oxide as the reaction products. The chemical signature of several of these spheres shows significant amounts of aluminum, thus matching the signature of thermite residue, not of steel, as discussed by examining physicist Steven Jones and other scientist in two published articles in 2007 and 2008.

Thermate, a special thermite mixture developed by the military, contains sulphur. Many of the dust spheres of the World Trade Center match the residue of ignited red/gray nanothermite composite chips found.

9) Why are heavy components of the twin towers, such as the iron works, blasted so much further from the footprints of the two structures?

10) Why was molten steel reportedly seen by the fire fighters, rescuers and construction clean-up crews?

11) Why was the site so quickly tampered with preventing a proper forensic investigation?

12) Why, instead of being analyzed to determine the cause of failure, was all the structural steel immediately shipped off to China to be recycled?

13) Where were the two transponders from the jet planes that were reportedly found?

14) Why did Building Seven collapse those many hours later when it wasn’t directly hit?

15) Why did it neatly vertically collapse under seven seconds, as would any building specifically demolished with explosives?

The only way such a building could so neatly collapse into its own footprint was to have its eighteen vertical support beams simultaneously cut, not by fire that was claimed, which by its own nature would not have the same destructive precision.

In a PBS interview done for America Rebuilds, the owner of the building, Larry Silverstein tells us that he gave permission to one of the

fire department commanders to “pull” the building. What becomes most curious is with all the calamity and chaos in the area after the Twins fell, when and how would they be able to plat all the explosives necessary to do such a perfect demolition collapse. There are videos of policemen and firemen warning people to step back because “the building is going down…, …it’s about to blow.”

16) Why, at the Pentagon, arguably one of the most tightly secured buildings and surrounding areas within the United States is there only one video camera, from a distant parking lot security system, with footage showing the explosion?

17) Why does the explosion go out from the building, as opposed to in from the impact of the third jet plane, which supposedly slammed into the structure?

18) Why doesn’t the camera footage show the plane hitting the Pentagon?

For that matter :

19) Where is any of the one hundred ton jet plane that was made of composite aluminum and titanium.

Certainly peaces of the huge jet engines would have left a trace. So,

20) Where are they?

21) Where is the plane’s transponder?

In Pennsylvania, there is a hole where the plane was supposedly to have crashed, and yet the wreckage and bodies are everywhere but there at the hole.

22) Why?

23) Where is this plane’s the transponder?

I saw eyewitness testimony by men who were brought in to help clear the site of the Twin Towers with hope to find any souls that had miraculously survived the fall. One man said he personally saw a transponder. He also said a fellow crewmember had found another. And yet, officially none were found, let alone this testimony being allowed to be part of the 9/11 investigation.

At this point and time, there are now over fifteen hundred board certified architects and engineers who have signed a petition demanding a reopening of the investigation because of the growing amount of evidence in question that needs to be accounted for.

24) Why, with all the billion and billions of dollars spent on National Defense,

weren’t any fighter jets scrambled to the scene after the first tower was hit?

McGuire Air Force Base, in New Jersey, is only ninety minutes by car from New York City. Stewart Air National Guard Base is the home of

the 105th Airlift Wing, and is only ninety miles north or New York City. It seems strange that not even one plane was dispatched from either base to investigate.

At 8:46 AM American Airlines Flight 11, flying in from Boston, with ninety-two passengers aboard, traveling at a speed of four hundred and seventy miles an hour, crashes into the North Tower of the World Trade Center complex. Within minutes, officials coordinate the city wide emergency response from their state-of-the-art base of operations command center located on the twenty-third floor of Building Seven.

Seventeen minutes later, at 9:03 AM, United Airlines Flight 175, with sixty-five aboard, traveling at five hundred and ninety miles an hour, crashes into the South Tower.

Seventeen minutes.

Certainly not a lot of time, but it does seem possible, even with reaction time, warning, scrambling to the plane and flight time to ground zero, there would have still been enough time to intercept the second hijacked plane.

If a plane had been scrambled after the first tower was hit, there might have been enough time for the fighter pilot to request a response from the passenger plane. Most likely, because it was hijacked, the hijackers would not have responded. At a certain point, however, the pilot of the fighter jet would have to have recognized

that the passenger jet was not in its proper flight pattern and surmise it was going to crash into the second tower. If it wasn’t physically possible to have been able to drive the passenger plane away from the building, it would have been able to blow it up in the air. Whether there would there have been consideration of the passengers, or the civilian population on the ground below, we’ll never know.

25) How does anyone explain President Bush’s reaction, during his Florida publicity grade school classroom visit, as he just sat there for those many minutes after a secret serviceman whispered into his ear about the unfolding events at Ground Zero?

That was the moment he was supposedly told about the second tower being hit.

26) Why, three months later, did President George W. Bush say, while waiting to go into that Florida classroom, he saw, on television, the plane hit the first tower when that footage was released the day after 9/11?

Questions, questions, questions and more questions.

“Word on the street” says Vice-President Dick Cheney was in the command center while the President was conveniently in Florida on his photo-op with the school children. It was Cheney who ordered a stand-down to responding to the first plane crashing into the North Tower, and apparently some National Guard plane hadn’t received the order before it managed to blow up the plane on route to the White House, thus why the debris field that was scattered away from the hole in the ground in Pennsylvania.

If this event is truly a conspiracy, then those who perpetrated it are not only responsible for mass murder, but war crimes and crimes against humanity because they also used this event to enter us into an unnecessary war with two other nations.

There is so much to be answered and so much we don’t know.

I do know, before 9/11, Charlie Wilson, a U.S. congressman, helped rally support and raise money to supply the Afghans with arms so to repel the Soviet Union’s attempt to overrun their country. I also know after the Soviets left in defeat, losing one hundred thousand casualties, we suddenly refused to give any more money so to build infrastructure and schools for the Afghan people. The cost would have been pennies compared to what we had just thrown at them through armaments and our now physical involvement.

I do know we went to war with Iraq, within the atmosphere of our daily cranked color-coded paranoia, attacking an ally who never attacked us. Yes, Saddam Hussein was a scumbag vicious dictator, but when hasn’t the United States backed liked minded dirt bags because of corporate interests. Our entire history demonstrates this. Saddam’s Iraq neutralized Iran, kept Syria quiet, bought all the munitions we could possibly sell him and sold us all the oil we could possibly buy.

There was a specific reason not to topple him and his government after we first beat him in Desert Storm, after he invaded Kuwait.

But within the hysteria of 9/11, suddenly there were weapons of mass destruction he was hording and we had to save the world.

So, we went to war with him again, toppled his government, hung him for war crimes, killed one million Iraqis in the process, and perpetuated our continuing involvement in the country costing our tax payers one trillion dollars over ten years for our involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Ultimately, we found there were never any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. It was a complete fabricated lie. Too late! We have now destabilized the region. Iran is wily as ever without Iraq’s aggression towards it. Syria is unraveling, a perfect storm for the Military Industrial Complex!

Before 9/11/2001, more specially, 2000, the global military industrial budget was six hundred billion dollars a year, of which ours was four hundred billion. After 9/11, by 2008, our own military industrial budget had mushroomed to six hundred billion dollars a year.

Iraq cost us eight hundred million dollars a week. Now, we’re in Afghanistan at a cost of two billion dollars a week. There’s inflation for you, not to mention why the reason we toppled Saddam Hussein in the first place!

The profits made since 9/11 are so huge, it seems impossible to believe the cause of all this destruction was not a seriously planned operation.

Under the auspices of Homeland Security, alone, we have now allocated over six hundred billion dollars to secret enterprises solely established to spy on ourselves. These various industries are not for investigation by our citizenry because they fall under the supposed security of our nation. Never have we been more insecure!

Let me digress for a moment and talk about another conspiracy theory, the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

The Central Intelligence Agency, CIA, was initially established, under President Harry Truman, to gather information during the reconstruction of Europe and Asia after the horrific damage of World War II. Its primary purpose, by gathering information, was to slow, if not stop, Stalin and the already rapid spread of Communism. Under this auspices, however, soon enough this mission was subverted to create micro destabilizations around the world so to maximize the seeming need for a growing Military Industrial Complex and not only direct huge amounts of tax dollars to support such efforts, but also create gargantuan ancillary and subsidiary corporate profits allied in these endeavors.

Vietnam ultimately cost us one and one half trillion dollars. Comparing the value of money then to now, that’s more like twelve and one half to thirteen trillion dollars today. Kennedy was killed before the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, opened the warring floodgates in 1964.

We had already covertly supported the French for ten years fighting there at a cost of one billion dollars a year. When the French finally recognized the futility of the war and pulled out, we could have very cleanly disconnected our supposed “obligations.”

During a press conference, Kennedy mentioned his discussions with General Taylor and Secretary-of-State, Robert McNamara, and his plan to redraw one thousand troops from Vietnam before the end of the year (1963). Did Kennedy seriously think about ending our involvement in Indo-China and kill the Military Industrial Complexes’ projected cash cow?

November 23, 1963 Kennedy was assassinated. Vice-President Lyndon Baines Johnson became President, and within eight months the Tonkin Bay incident occurred which gave cause for President Johnson to draft two hundred and fifty thousand American youths and send them to fight an un-winnable war. It was an un-winnable war because to win would have meant China and The Soviet Union’s involvement, in other words, World War III. The undeclared war that ensued would rage on for ten more years, siphoning seventy-five cents of every dollar to pay for it. It would also lead to the killing of six million Vietnamese and Cambodians.

President Kennedy also signed Executive Order, 11110, June 4, 1963, to revert our currency back to silver certificates. In other words, money issued by the government would be hard currency backed. It would, in essence, limit the power of the privately owned central bank.

Add to the mix, John’s brother Bobby, as Attorney General, was in full court process, literally and figuratively, against organized crime. He was really hurting them. The crime bosses knew there was only one way to stop him, cut off the head of the administration.

No question, one of these, or all in tandem, so terrified the profiteers of the world, the President was deemed dead before he hit the ground.

This was the toxic mix that was to insured Kennedy’s death. The CIA orchestrated the operation of theater. Since they had already approached different crime families to try to assassinate Cuba’s Fidel Castro, they were already in bed with the mob when hiring the willing two crime families, Santos Trafficanti and Carlos Marcello, to supply the shooters for taking down the President. It is also rumored that Teamster President, Jimmy Hoffa, and Chicago crime boss, Sam Gianacana, were involved.

The rest is a distortion of history, including the absurd “single bullet” theory, issued by the official investigation and resulting report from the Warren Commission, where a pristine bullet changed directions several times while ripping through various flesh and bone.

The status quo of the monetary system has now brought the world to its knees. The vacillating stock market is caused so to enable the powerful with money to buy out the fearful at fire sale bargains.

With the continuing defining role of the central bank and the monetary system, suddenly a conspiracy to bring down the Twin Towers, so to immerse the nation in hysteria and then manipulate it to go to war without end, doesn’t seem that far fetched.

A trillion dollars in profiteering every ten years is a lot of money, even for the most decadent of greed suckers, and these vampires wont stop until they suck the very last drop of blood out of all us.

At a minimum, it certainly demonstrates the first major step towards the implementation of Martial Law within our own country. America, “the home of the brave and the land of the free,” is under attack.

The ultimate war is continuing, us against them. It will be the people of the world vs. the corporate powers.

But because technology and communication is so deeply entrenched and wide spread, it is impossible to keep any secrets. Everybody inevitably will cell phone photographs and then text or tweet this information to someone else.

We are rapidly becoming one world, even though at the pain of losing national and cultural identity. People see what is possible and want to have the better things for themselves as well.

Most likely the corporate monolith, backed by the Military Industrial Complex is what the world will be fighting against for its own survival. It wont be pretty. Millions will die, maybe billions. The beautiful multicolored world will turn a monochrome nuclear grey.

However, within this nihilist darkness, there will remain one shining hope, one beacon of non-dimmable light, which will grow brighter and brighter, the Constitution. And though it was originated as part of the formation of the United States, and though we will have become one global society without national boarders, it will be the Holy Grail for which mankind will strive. As ephemeral as the pursuit of Life, Liberty and Happiness is, no totalitarian regime will ever be able to suppress it.

This revolution, where the People finally rise up and demand what is truly their Right, once secured, will lead us into the next glorious Renaissance.
