There Are
Hundreds Of Questions Still Unanswered Regarding 9/11
Time For A Real 9/11 Investigation If You Think We Already Had A Thorough Investigation, Think
Again NewsFocus, by Tim Watts - 020810
This article isn't intended for the 9/11 truth movement as much
as it is for those who still accept the official story. Addressing those who
already believe is simply preaching to the choir. It's time for all
Americans to come together and finally demand a new 9/11 investigation.
Those accepting the official story simply do not realize that
there are numerous, outlandish, incongruities and coincidences to the 9/11 story
that beg for more investigation. Those that are not part of the 9/11 truth
movement naively think that the 9/11 Commission thoroughly investigated
the worst attack ever on American soil. They couldn't be more mistaken.
Many of those who believe the official government version, have
never looked seriously into the evidence from 9/11. In all fairness to the
victims and their families, please review the following in consideration for a new
9/11 investigation:
First off, not only did Bush not want a 9/11
investigation, openly resisting the formation of an independent commission for
441 days, the Bush administration also placed a lot of restrictions
on the investigation right from the start. If the truth was to be found, it
would be exceedingly difficult with the following limitations placed on the
9/11 Commission.
Very little funding provided to find answers.
Timetable placed, limiting amount of investigation.
Limited the scope and extent of the investigation.
Limited the number of Commission members to see evidence.
9/11 Commission co-chair Thomas Kean told the National Press Club
on the 2006 9/11 anniversary that the commission was "set up to fail right from
the start." He cited the lack of funding and investigative time, plus
extreme political duress, as major obstacles in their way.
Thomas Kean: 9/11 Commission Was Set Up To Fail
Both Commissioners, Lee Hamilton and Kean, have
publicly said they were set up to fail.
Co-chair Lee Hamilton adds, "This commission does not have all
the answers."
So, the co-chairs of the very committee assigned to
investigate 9/11 are both in doubt as to the effectiveness of the probe
that they themselves led. This
alone should lead people to realize we need a new 9/11 investigation, one that
is better funded and also open ended in pursuit of the truth, no matter where
it leads to.
Whether you believe the official story or not, the truth is,
there are significant questions that were never addressed at
all during
the investigation. Valid points have been noted, with legitimate questions
raised due to suspicious evidence and significant, substantiated facts from the
event. Much or all of it was never reported by the 9/11 Commission. It is an
undisputable fact that the appointed 9/11 Commission clearly missed a lot of
critical evidence.
Here is but a short list of some of the more glaring points that they missed:
(1) World Trade Center Building 7 Implodes Just Like WTC 1 & 2
Not two, but three towers collapsed in less than :10 seconds on
9/11. The other tower, World Trade Center 7, the Salomon Building, was never hit
by an airplane, yet dropped in perfect symmetrical fashion, much like towers one
and two, falling neatly into its own footprint.
WTC 7 falls quickly and symmetrically, just like WTC towers 1 and
2.
This building is the perfect example of a controlled demolition.
It falls perfectly in free fall, with no resistance. For those that have never
seen building 7 collapse, this should no doubt be highly intriguing at this
point. The thing you may find even more interesting is that the 9/11 Commission
said nothing about this building collapsing in its
final report. Nothing whatsoever.
A 47-story building, not hit by an airplane, collapses just like
the other two towers, in less than ten seconds, and those investigating didn't
feel the need to address WTC 7 in their report? One might think they would, especially since there were so
many important government agencies in that building, yet not one mention in the
9/11 Report. How weird is that?
(2) Dick Cheney Tracked Pentagon Attack Plane 50 Miles Out!
Probably as alarming as the collapse of WTC 7 are the actions of
Dick Cheney after the second tower was hit. Cheney was rushed to the
Presidential Emergency Operating Center (PEOC) by Secret Servicemen immediately
following the attack on the second tower. What is particularly odd is what Cheney did once he
got there.
Cheney shows no emotion whatsoever, nor any surprise as the WTC falls.
DOT head Norman Mineta was also in the PEOC that morning. He
testified under oath that Cheney was tracking flight 77 from well over 50 miles out,
before it hit
the Pentagon. According to Mineta's 9/11 Commission testimony:
"During the
time that the airplane was coming into the Pentagon, there was a
young man who would come in and say to the Vice President, 'The
plane is 50 miles out.' 'The plane is 30 miles out.' And when it
got down to 'The plane is 10 miles out' the young man said to
the Vice President, 'Do the orders still stand.' And the Vice
President turned and whipped his neck around and said, 'Of
course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the
contrary?'" Testimony of U.S.
Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta before the 9/11
Commission. (5/23/03)
Even with 1960's missile technology, the military could have
easily shot that airplane down from that distance. Easily. So why wasn't
it then? Why did the young man question Cheney's order and why did Cheney
get so upset when he was asked about it?
Was the order Cheney gave a stand-down order? Why was the plane
never pursued or shot at, let alone shot down? Again, Cheney tracked it from the command
center from well over 50 miles out!
Just as importantly, if Cheney tracked the object for that
long, why didn't he have the Pentagon evacuated?
There were 184 innocent people killed as a result of that attack and his
negligence. Why hasn't anyone asked Cheney about this?
How does the 9/11 Commission fulfill its investigative duty with no challenge
or follow up to Norman Mineta's testimony regarding Cheney tracking the plane on radar?
(3) High-Tech Military Explosives Residue Found
A group of noted scientists and researchers has found conclusive
evidence of explosive residue within four separate dust samples from the WTC
site. The substance found was thermate, a high tech version of thermite,
an advanced military explosive that requires a security clearance. Engineered by the military,
thermate is combustible at much lower temperatures than thermite, plus it burns
far hotter, making it an effective cutting charge for steel beams.
Super-thermite, or military grade thermate, has been found in the
WTC dust.
The scientists found not only spent thermate residue, but also
active thermate, not yet ignited. Why there would be thermate mixed in
with the WTC debris is a very good question to ask someone.
The thermate story has been out since 2009, but for some reason,
those within the major mainstream corporate media never addressed it at all,
even though many network anchors initially reported that the destruction looked
exactly like a controlled demolition.
Each tower dropped in :10 seconds or less. Even though military
thermate evidence has been found that supports the theory of a controlled
demolition, the government continues to deny requests to re-open the
investigation.
Why?
The government has failed to enlist or join in any collaborative
efforts with those independent scientists who discovered the material, to
officially test and verify the scientific thermate findings. That in itself is
quite telling.
This one single piece of evidence all by itself ought to be
enough to open a new 9/11 investigation. Finding a high-tech military grade
explosive is clearly something to stand up and take note of.
For the record, NIST says that it did not bother to perform any
tests at all for explosives residue.
So much for a thorough investigation.
(4) Many Of The Alleged Hijackers Are Still Alive
Many of the alleged 9/11 hijackers are
still
alive and well, living in the middle east.
This has been well established already by the BBC and other foreign news media.
Anywhere from six to nine are said to be alive. Many have been found by the
media, which leads to the
trillion-dollar question, if these Saudis didn't do it,
then who did?
These alleged hijackers are still alive and well.
Many do not even know this fact and still think the original
suspects are guilty to this very day. That isn't exactly setting the truth
straight for the official record.
You would think that this would concern someone in the
government. Aren't we trying to find all those responsible for the 9/11 event?
If these guys didn't pull off the 9/11 hijackings, then who
did?
If not them, then who was responsible for the 9/11 attacks?
(5) The Right-Handed
Fake Osama Video That Claims Credit For 9/11
One of the most glaring pieces of evidence
pointing to a cover-up of 9/11 is the release of a particular
video, so obviously fake, that one has to wonder about
the people working at our intelligence agencies that sanctioned
it.
The
face alone ought to be enough to convince anyone that indeed
this is a bad Halloween impersonation, however, the purported
Osama also makes a major telltale gaffe in the video,
revealing this calculated attempt at deception... the
imposter eats, drinks, writes and gestures,
all with his right
hand. Again, this is an obvious key point
since Osama is left-handed. (see:
FBI Wanted Poster )
Pause
the video at 32:44. Watch it again from 33:01 through 33:08. The
guy in the video is clearly right-handed, not left.
How stupid can you be when trying
to fake a video impersonation of Osama?
How stupid, or complicit,
does this make the media look for selling this obvious video
fake to the public? Out of all the news agencies, not one single
person caught this? Not even one intrepid reporter?
NewsFocus has posted the fake
Osama video online for downloading at the link pasted below. It
is 32.6 MB in size will take some time to download, depending on
your modem speed.
(Note: The video is in
RealPlayer format, but will be available in another format
soon.)
After watching the
video, ask yourself how the
media missed this obvious con job?
Is this blatant
incompetence by every single media outlet, or is it collusion in
a national cover-up?
It
should be noted that immediately following 9/11, Bin Laden sent
a message stating adamantly and unequivocally that he was not
involved in the attacks.
So why is someone faking Osama
videos to claim that he is responsible?
Why
did the Bush administration pass off an obvious fake
imposter to the media as the real Bin Laden? Was it because they purposefully
wanted to fan the fears of the American people, so that the
administration could bankroll their war agenda?
Spot The Imposter
Real Osama (L) and the fake Osama (R).
By the way, if you
look at the FBI
Most Wantedposter for Osama, you should note that he
is not wanted in connection with 9/11. The FBI
only wants him for other crimes, the
August 7, 1998, bombings of the
United States Embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and Nairobi,
Kenya.
No 9/11 hijackings
are mentioned, as well as no World Trade Center attacks,
and no Pentagon attack charges. None whatsoever.
When
asked, the FBI says point blank that it
has no hard evidence
connecting Bin Laden to 9/11.
Nevertheless, it seems that
someone is trying very hard to make that false case with the
American people and the world, with the U.S. media acting as a
witting pawn in it all.
Though many internationally
believe that Osama is long since dead, it is quite clear that
someone has gone out of their way to make people believe he is
not.
You see, if "the boogey man"
lives, then so also does war, along with its multi-trilliondollar industry of immoral war profits.
As Smedley D. Butler
once wrote, "War Is A Racket."
(6) Conflicting Evidence Found
In New York City, a jet engine was found that is said to not
be typical of
a 757 aircraft.
In the Pentagon, a wheel assembly and a jet turbine were found that were
also reported to not to be from a 757.
Where did these non-757 parts come from?
Did something else strike the WTC towers and the Pentagon?
Numerous military and aviation officials have said emphatically
that a 757 could not have flown the impossible maneuvers that the attacking DC
craft performed over the Pentagon. Air Traffic Control operators are on record
as saying they thought they were witnessing a military aircraft on their
screens, due to its precision high-speed aerobatic movement.
New York City - jet engine found, not matching a 757.
Washington DC - small turbine found, not matching a 757.
The existence of physical evidence that does not fit the
perceived nature of the crime is troubling and begs for more investigation. To
dismiss these pieces of evidence out of hand would be tantamount to ignorance or complicity.
If these pieces don't add up or make sense with the official story, then we need
to know why.
Re-Open The Investigation
Any one of these five reasons ought to be enough to warrant
re-opening the 9/11 investigation. How these points can be accepted in their
totality without a call for a new investigation is unconscionable.
These are merely the glaring omissions, only a few of the many
incongruities and coincidences that we have been told to swallow as part of the
official story.
Questions such as these should call for an immediate re-opening of
the 9/11 case and begin an all new investigation into the event.
Other Tenable 9/11 Observations & Questions
Aside from the
top reasons given for re-opening the 9/11 investigation, there
are also many other irreconcilable issues to address when it
comes to the official story. Combined with the first five
reasons above for a new investigation, the following extra points from
the event should lend further merit for consideration.
1
Impossible for buildings to fall that fast,
unless controlled demo.
2
Kerosene
and office furniture are incapable of creating temps to melt
or soften steel. Yet we had rivers of molten steel for nearly two
months after 9/11, even after being doused repeatedly with
water.
3
No fires
affected the lower floors of either WTC 1 or 2.
4
Not one, but
three steel frame high rise buildings free-fell within seconds into their own
footprints, for the first time ever in history.
5
Physically impossible
for a hollow aluminum plane to fly through three
rings of solid steel reinforced concrete at the the
Pentagon.
6
Three rings
of the Pentagon were breached. (Was this a missile?)
7
No wing impact or engine marks on the face of the
Pentagon.
8
No large plane parts found at Pentagon or
in Pennsylvania.
9
Debris field scattered in Pennsylvania over
six to eight miles.
10
Four coincidental terrorist war games
scheduled on the same day.
11
NORAD defeated three times. (assuming
they took out flight 93)
12
DC emergency dispatch tapes and video are still classified.
13
The emergency fuel tanks were never reported
to blow at WTC 7.
What caused the collapse with only a few small fires
burning?
Damning 9/11 Circumstantial Evidence To Consider
As if these questions of
themselves aren't enough, we also have the following disturbing
facts to reconcile, including elected
officials who were arguably derelict in their duties on 9/11.
Our top officials did not react as they were supposed to
in regards to a national emergency, especially with the nation
under attack. The inaction of each of these figures had a
discernable effect on the reaction of our government during a
time of attack on our country. (For one figure, it wasn't
inaction as much as it was an admission that brought scrutiny in
his direction.) The fact that so many key high ranking officials
are noted as being grossly neglect in their official duties to
the nation, is what is suggestive to many from around the world
of a powerful inner cabal within our government.
Please consider the following:
Fact:
George W.
Bush sat in a Florida classroom and was derelict of duty as Commander in
Chief while we
were under attack. He gave no orders to Chief of Staff
Andrew Card. Bush said and did absolutely nothing. The
leader of the free world had just been told that for the first time
since our nation’s independence, the mainland of the United
States of America was under attack, yet he just sat there. He even did
a short photo-op with the teacher afterwards, so he was clearly in no
hurry whatsoever to see if we were being attacked anywhere
else, like maybe Chicago or Los Angeles, or perhaps even Washington
DC.
Fact:
Donald
Rumsfeld left his post and was derelict of duty, going
outside instead, to the Pentagon lawn, sure to be
photographed to corroborate his critical absence from the
command loop. Rumsfeld had no business being away from the
war room, where his official duty was to direct an effective defense of the
nation. In light of the military
personnel there, the single presence of Donald Rumsfeld on the
Pentagon lawn helping out with a stretcher did not add to the rescue
effort, however his single detraction from the chain of command was an
egregious breach of military protocol, directly impeding the
proper defense of the country during an attack.
Fact:
Dick Cheney was in the the Presidential Emergency
Operations Center (PEOC) bunker beneath the White House on the
morning of 9/11. Cheney was rushed there by Secret Service
agents after the 2nd plane hit. DOT
Secretary Norman Mineta testified before the 9/11 Commission
that Cheney tracked the Pentagon attack plane from well over 50
miles out, before it had struck. Even with 1960's missile
technology we could have blown that plane (missile) out of the
air easily, but Cheney didn’t. When pressed by a young man as to
whether the orders still stand, Cheney became visibly
angry and whipped his neck around declaring, “Of course the
orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?”
It wasn't too long after that the Pentagon was hit. (See video
farther below)
Fact: Rudy Giuliani told ABC's Peter Jennings live on the
air that he was told the World Trade Center was going to collapse, but he now
steadfastly denies he was ever told this. Why would Giuliani publicly claim that
he was told the buildings would collapse and then refute that admission later,
as if he never said it? He plainly stated to ABC, "We were told the World
Trade Center was going to collapse." This is an alarming statement
since no one had any way to know the buildings would collapse, considering this had never ever happened before. In light of the fact that the fires
burned only a short duration (20 minutes or less) and there were no fires below
the 78th floor to undermine the entire structure, it is hard to understand how
anyone could have possibly known the buildings were going to implode and
collapse. One can only surmise this is the reason why Giuliani now vehemently denies being
forewarned about the WTC destruction. (see video farther below) Giuliani also
banned all photography and video at ground zero once
suspicious
looking debris started to be dug up.
Fact: FEMA was in New York City the night before the 9/11
attacks. FEMA worker Tom Kenney told CBS's Dan Rather, "We're currently, uh,
one of the first teams that was deployed to support the city of New York for
this disaster." Note that Kenney says they were deployed for this
particular disaster. He also said, "To be honest with you, we arrived on
late Monday night (9/10) and went into action on Tuesday morning." FEMA now
says it was actually in town for a terror drill on the pier, strangely enough,
scheduled for the day after 9/11. (More of those opportunistic war games, terror
drills etc, that were all coincidentally planned around a real terrorist
strike.) The arrival of FEMA in New York City the night before 9/11 is a
disturbing revelation to many.
Who Profited From 9/11 And Its Initiated After-Effects?
The
most common principle of all in the investigation of large
crimes is to ask, who benefited? As Watergate informant 'Deep
Throat' once told Washington Post investigative reporter Bob
Woodward, "follow the money." That reasoning is most
always still valid when it comes to high crimes, but not all
nefarious endeavors are so easily tracked, especially in cases
of state sponsored activity. Power and control are also an
integral part of the equation.
So
with these thoughts in mind, who truly did benefit from 9/11?
The
United States (new strategic middle east foothold, with oil &
gas)
The
military industrial complex (hundreds of billions in war
profits)
Department of Defense (budgets greatly increased)
U.S.
intelligence services (budgets greatly increased)
PNAC
(policies for U.S. world dominance furthered)
Larry Silverstein (received $4-billion in insurance money)
Put
Option Investors (Alleged CIA investors made fortunes)
Bush
family (Oil
investments, Carlyle Group war profits)
Dick
Cheney (Halliburton war profits)
Israel (U.S. fights its enemies for them)
And
who were the biggest losers from 9/11?
Afghanistan people (citizens murdered, country ravaged)
Iraqi people (citizens murdered, country ravaged)
U.S.
people (Constitutional rights taken with Patriot Act)
Those
involved in any orchestrated profits from this deviously
engineered tragedy clearly have no moral scruples, nor any human
integrity. Their avarice will one day
surely be their
undoing.
Just How Far Would Someone Go?
Many falsely believe that factions within our government could
ever run amuck and pull off such outlandish feats of aggression for political or
intelligence gain.
When people of power and great wealth collude together for empire
and profit, beware, for big lies will be told in order to sell a false
illusion, one which all but ensures the success of their plot and guarantees
their profit.
Fortunately we have some damning instances, the ones that were
caught, where we now have official documentation on record, proving not only
their existence, but of an even larger government role.
Gulf of
Tonkin Attack: This was
staged to falsely push the U.S. into the Viet Nam war, killing tens of
thousands of Americans and Vietnamese.
Operation Northwoods: United States document that planned for the
shooting down a civilian U.S. airliner and blaming it on the Cubans so that we
could go to war against them.
Iraq War Invasion: Bush and Cheney lied about weapons of mass
destruction (WMD)
in Iraq so that we could overthrow our own installed puppet, Saddam Hussein in a
war for oil, basing rights, and the dollar.
Some might readily say that these attacks weren't planned against
the U.S. which would be true, but that tends to easily dismiss the thousands
of young men and women that we send to needlessly die for us in
fabricated wars for empire and profit.
This is all done based on either a total political lie, or else a
U.S. alphabet agency-backed coup. More often than not, a combination of
both. In these consciously manufactured, immoral plans, many hundreds of
thousands, if not millions of innocent civilians are killed... murdered,
due to an illegal war for profit and empire.
The fact is, as documented above, it is clearly very possible
for factions within our government to misuse power and authority in order to
support a contrary ideology, or the direct benefit of an elite order or a select
few. With but a few lies exposed in the light for all to see, it makes you
wonder how many lies and secrets we haven't caught on to yet.
To point out the obvious, we've used 9/11 as an excuse for
illegal wars of aggression with Afghanistan and and Iraq, based upon plans
already drawn up before 9/11. As a result, the U.S. has obtained invaluable and
long desired gas and pipeline routes that will reap profiteering oil
corporations literally trillions in oil profits.
So to frivolously discount any inside government complicity or
intelligence help, just because it sounds unbelievable, is foolish. As history
has always shown, people will do anything for money.
In Summary...
With the preceding points in mind, most by now should begin to
understand the call from
51% of Americans
who are already calling for a new 9/11 investigation. Yahoo! reports that the
9/11 topic has become the
all-time top search ever in their short history. Many people in the
United States and around the world are seeking the truth through internet news
sites because they simply do not buy the official story, and they don't trust
the mainstream corporate media when it comes to 9/11 truth.
It is absolutely impossible for "we the people" to
accept the 9/11 Report and have the complete truth when the 9/11
Commission did not look at all the facts, nor the evidence in its
entirety. It is readily apparent that a new investigation is very much necessary
and justified in order to address legitimate questions and concerns that remain
over 9/11 evidence. Not only do we owe it to ourselves to find the truth, we owe
it to the surviving 9/11 family members for proper closure.
No true American should stand in opposition to the people of the
United States concerning the pursuit of truth when it comes to unanswered questions
dealing with 9/11. The
fact that there are many important points overlooked by the previous
9/11 Commission is disturbing in itself, but to let them go without further scrutiny
would be far worse.
The 9/11 event is a story that most Americans don't know as well
as they might think, due in large part to the corporate media who have failed miserably in
their duty to investigate and report. The story needs to come out, no matter
where the chips fall.
The observations raised in this article are indeed legitimate concerns
that need to be addressed and fully investigated to get the complete picture of
what actually happened on 9/11. Considering the seriousness of the many questions still
unanswered, anything less than a new 9/11 investigation would be morally
negligent on our part, not to mention an inhumane response from an intelligent,
civilized society.
This time, don't just ask for a new 9/11 investigation. This
time, demand a real 9/11 investigation.
No matter where the evidence trail leads, it's time to finally
answer the unanswered and bring all of those responsible to justice.
DOT Head Norm Mineta Testifies To The 9/11 Commission On Cheney
This is very damning testimony. The plane could
have been easily shot down.
Giuliani Discrepancy In 9/11 Warning Of WTC Collapse
These are two totally different accounts from Giuliani.
The
fact that Bush openly and vigorously opposed an independent
investigation into 911 was all the more highlighted by his first
appointment, upon acquiescing to a formal panel. Henry Kissinger
was appointed to head the initial commission, however, when
confronted by 9/11 widows, "the Jersey girls," he was
soon forced to resign when he wouldn't reveal his business
contacts, specifically if any might have the name bin Laden.
Bush
then put together a commission of individuals who were
questioned by many as being politically compromised or had the
suspicion of possibly being less than forthright in furthering a
true and honest investigation.
Thomas
Kean (R) and Lee Hamilton (D) headed the commission, but with
major direction from Philip Zelikow, the man who single handedly
steered the 9/11 Commission and its entire investigation.
Al Felzenberg
acted as the commission's spokesman.
Conflicts & Compromise
Lee
Hamilton,
was the chairman of the House select committee that investigated
the Iran-contra cover-up. He was personally privy to to
considerable evidence that implicated Reagan and (HW) Bush, but
he looked the other
way and chose instead not to
investigate further. According to Hamilton, in an interview with
PBS Frontline, he openly admitted that he didn't think it would
be in the country's best interest to subject Americans to
another embarrassing impeachment trial. Hamilton felt it was
better to withhold incriminating evidence
for the good of the nation.
So with a crime far
more serious than Iran-Contra, how do you suppose Lee Hamilton
felt about exposing the Bush-Cheney administration, or the PNAC,
if needed, for complicity and treason in the 9/11 event?
Two of Thomas
Kean's previous business partners were among those needing
investigation for the 9/11 event, Khalid Bin Mahfouz and
Mohammed Hussein al Amoudi. Both of these men were accused as
alleged "financiers" of Al Qaeda. To top it off, Mahfouz was
Osama's brother in law.
As if all of that
isn't enough, Thomas Kean, was also said to have business
connections with bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi.
To add more insult
to the 9/11 families and those Americans who were expecting a
complete, honest and thorough investigation, 9/11 Director
Philip D. Zelikow served on George W. Bush's Presidential
transition team and also had previously worked very closely with
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
So much for a fair
and impartial investigative commission.
Zelikow Held The Real Commission Power
Zelikow, a high-level
national security adviser to both Bush administrations,
was appointed by President George W. Bush as the
commission's Executive Director and he played a major role in
what could and couldn't be seen by the other members of
the commission. He set
the entire commission agenda, picked the areas to investigate,
chose which witnesses to speak with and also personally selected
which evidence would be allowed. He controlled the entire
investigation from start to finish.
Interestingly enough, Phillip Zelikow was
the 1998 author of 'Catastrophic
Terrorism - Imagining the Transformative Event,' but also a
man whose college thesis dealt with creating public historical
myth. These are very troubling conflicts to qualify someone to
head an unbiased and objective investigative commission.
Zelikow also had a
conflict of interest, with close personal ties not only to
National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice, but also to key PNAC
members Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz.
Dubiously
enough, in 2003 he prematurely wrote the outline of the final
9/11 report, even though the investigation was just getting
underway! Since when does that happen in an
investigation? He was either psychic or he had a pre-arranged
false story that he was told to peddle, independent of any facts
or truth that might emerge from the investigation.
He also tried to insert false
information into the final report about an Iraqi-9/11
connection. He said that the real threat from Iraq was to
Israel. And we thought they were worried about protecting the
U.S.
Zelikow told the Washington Post
that he was concerned about the spread of “conspiracy theories”
about the attacks, which he described as pathogens.
“Our worry is when things
become infectious, as happened with the [John F. Kennedy]
assassination,” Zelikow says. “Then this stuff can be deeply
corrosive to public understanding. You can get where the
bacteria can sicken the larger body.”
According to Zelikow, the Kean
Commission discussed many of the 9/11 theories, but did not
address them in the final report. “When we wrote the report,
we were also careful not to answer all the theories. It’s
like playing Whack-A-Mole. You’re never going to whack them
all.”
Zelikow,
later told the Washington Post that there was no need to release
the Washington DC CCTV surveillance footage that showed the
Pentagon crash. These security video tapes have never
been shown to this day.
Phillip Zelikow indeed played an
infamous roll in shaping the official narrative regarding the
9/11 event.
A Bogus Investigation Without
Blame
One of the more ominous and
troubling statements coming from the commission was from Lee
Hamilton who said, “We’re not
interested in trying to assess blame, we do not consider that
part of the commission’s responsibility.”
Say what? Seriously? An
investigation without assessing blame?
What kind of investigation was
this?
Why no blame for 9/11?
Why withhold key evidence?
If all of that
wasn't bad enough, President
Bush then imposed a
time restriction of only 18 months for the murders of 3,000
innocent people and perhaps the most serious investigation ever
in United States history. Why?
If
you're searching for the truth in an organized conspiracy,
why would you purposefully limit and restrict the amount
of time in which the authorities could investigate the crime?
The Bush administration actually did just that!
When Bush said he didn't want an independent investigation into
the attacks of 9/11, he appears to have been very serious
about that.
What
type of legitimate murder investigation does not seek the
identity of the murderers and their accomplices?
The
911 "omission" strangely enough missed all of the following
major points in its alleged search for the truth.
Missed conflicting testimony of Mineta & Hyde regarding
Cheney.
Never asked Rudy Giuliani who warned that buildings would
fall.
Never questioned the fall of World Trade Center 7.
No
mention of Sibel Edmonds testimony on government 911
knowledge.
No
testimony from William Rodriguez or Barry Jennings regarding
bombs
Why
did the 9/11 Commission mention absolutely nothing about
the WTC 7 destruction? FEMA was able to acknowledge the event,
yet the 9/11 Commission felt it unworthy to even mention in
their report.
Why
did Bush set limits on the number of commission members who
could see the actual evidence or ask questions about it?
Wouldn't you want your entire investigative team to look at all
the evidence together? Why limit the evidence to only a few
select members and then restrict what they could say about it to
other members, as well as the media?
Why
did others testifying have to be under oath, yet Bush and Cheney
were both exempt from that? Neither Bush nor Cheney appeared
before the commission under oath.
Bush
and Cheney also didn't have to appear separately before the 9/11
Commission, as they were specifically asked to, much like
other witnesses were. They both refused to do so. Upon demands
from the White House, they were both allowed to testify
together, to which some have argued was nothing more than a
concerted effort to keep their stories straight and facts
together.
And
yet Bush claims this was an investigation to get to the truth.
Senator Mark Dayton of Minnesota differs harshly with that
opinion.
From
all that went on, or didn't go on, the claim of a
thorough investigation to seek the truth of September 11th is
hard to qualify.
The
Commission closed on August 21, 2004.
Members of the commission have now said they feel they were set
up to fail.
The
CFR Connection
The next affront to
a proper investigation came with the naming of the commission
members. Five of those ten members just happen to be members of
the Council on Foreign Relations, as well as its Director,
Phillip Zelikow. The commission co-chairs, Lee Hamilton and
Thomas Kean, are also CFR. In all, six members of the 9/11
Commission are affiliated to the CFR.
This is
something which concerns many, since the CFR is often linked to
the new world order agenda, for which 9/11 has been a major
catalyst. This is an interesting coincidence to say the least.
It should be noted
that another
CFR member also just happens to be Bob Graham himself. Just
days before the ten year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks Graham
began making public calls for a new 9/11 investigation. Very
curious timing. It was coincidentally just three days before the
ten year anniversary of 9/11. It also came at a time when
arguably one of the most powerful bullets in the 9/11 truth
arsenal had been fired with the release of the damning new
documentary
"Explosive Evidence: The Experts Speak Out," produced by
the 1,500 Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth.
Again, the request
from CFR member Bob Graham is curious for some.
Is another cover-up
in the works?
A
Real Search For The Truth?
Most
large government investigations have historically begun within a
week to ten days from the date of the actual disaster, but for
9/11 our government waited for well over a year, over 400
days to begin any sort of national investigation.
The
U.S. government spent over $92-million dollars
investigating President Clinton, yet initially spent only a mere
$600-thousand dollars investigating the worst attack ever on
American soil. The subsequent 9/11 Commission then spent a
paltry $15-million for their follow-up report of the alleged
facts, $77-million LESS than was spent on the Clinton
investigations (for which the Clinton's were exonerated of
all Whitewater charges by the Republican controlled
Congress).
Nearly
$100-million was spent to investigate President Clinton, and yet
only a meager $15-million went to find out who attacked our
country, killed over 3,000 innocent people, destroyed two
national landmark skyscrapers and dramatically changed life,
liberty and freedom as we knew it, all on one fateful September
morning.
We
spent $14-million investigating how the Waco disaster was
handled. After the second shuttle explosion we immediately
allocated $50-million to investigate the Columbia shuttle
disaster, yet only authorized a mere $15-million to investigate
the first ever successful major attack on American soil by
alleged foreign terrorists.
Wasn't
9/11 worth more than that?
And
again, why did Bush and Cheney not want an independent
investigation into the 9/11 attacks?
Apparently the Republican controlled Congress wanted to know
more about a blue stained dress than the worst attack ever on
American soil.
No Effort For
Evidence?
If the
government was truly serious about investigating the 9/11
attacks, why was the WTC evidence allowed to be destroyed
immediately afterwards?
Why
were the metal support beams shipped away to be melted down,
before the investigation ever began? Is this something that
happens at a normal crime scene? Why was it allowed for the
biggest crime ever perpetrated on American soil?
Why
weren't forensic investigators allowed to test the steel and
building remains for crucial fire or explosives evidence? Again,
why send it all the way overseas and not next door to
Pennsylvania?
Why
did no one test any of the metal from fallen World Trade Center
tower 7, a building not hit by an airplane that day? Wouldn't
you think for sure that government investigators would want to
know a whole lot more on why that particular building fell?
Where
was the instinctive and passionate curiosity to investigate the
worst crime ever on American soil?

Op/Ed,
By THOMAS H. KEAN and LEE H.
HAMILTON -
January 2, 2008
More than five years ago, Congress and
President Bush created the 9/11 commission. The goal was to
provide the American people with the fullest possible account of
the “facts and circumstances relating to the terrorist attacks
of Sept. 11, 2001” — and to offer recommendations to prevent
future attacks. Soon after its creation, the president’s chief
of staff directed all executive branch agencies to cooperate
with the commission. ...

Americans think the government is telling the truth about 9/11 while 3%
are uncertain. The actual poll can be found

Skepticism Among Americans On Official 9/11 Story
911Blogger.com
Below is a summary of opinion polls querying the
American public on the viability of the official government
narrative for 9/11. Polls have been conducted by such pollsters
as Zogby,
Scripps Howard,
Reuters and
Angus Reid and cable
news channels such as
CNN and
MSNBC. Apparently, the
official conspiracy theory isn't doing very well. In fact, the
numbers are scaring the bejesus out of
some of the pollsters, who are left looking for ways to
trivialize such large numbers of their fellow citizens as
"fringe elements". Tactics include suggesting the respondents
are misguided because of ethnocentric bias, inability to cope
with events of large magnitude, lack of intelligence, factual
ignorance, one-sidedness, the internet or deeply embedded
distrust of government. The last suggestion appears to have a
chicken-or-egg problem. (Read

TO THE
MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AND
OF THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT:
On Behalf of the People of the United States of
America, the undersigned people of the world
hereby petition for, and demand, a truly independent and public
investigation with subpoena power in order to uncover the full truth
surrounding the events of 9/11/01 - specifically the destruction of the World
Trade Center Towers and Building 7.
We believe there is sufficient doubt about the official
story and therefore the 9/11 investigation must be re-opened and must
include a full inquiry into the possible use of explosives that might have
been the actual cause of the destruction of the World Trade Center Twin
Towers and Building 7.
Given the importance of the events of 9/11/01 and it's
consequences, we believe it is our duty, as citizens of the world, to
uncover the truth about this event and ensure that justice will be made.
We also are in full support of Architects and Engineers
for 9/11 Truth (AE911Truth.org) petition for a new independent
investigation.
