My last column on 9/11 brought some angry denials from Americans who believe anyone who asks reasonable questions about what really happened that day is mentally ill - including widows, widowers, moms and dads who lost their loved ones on 911. We're all "whack jobs." There has been a concerted effort by the Bush Administration and it's Ministry of Propaganda ("mainstream" and cable media) to reinforce their version as the truth, written on nothing more than shifting sand. Two columnists for Worldnetdaily.com recently made their feelings quite clear:
"The world you grew up in, the one you alternately loved, hated, lavished indifference upon and dreamed of passing on to your children and grandchildren (perhaps in better shape than you found it), is gone. That world did not die of natural causes. Neither did it expire by its own hand. You and your friends killed it. Your involvement in the 9/11 "conspiracy movement" is ample evidence of your guilt. No one could be involved in such outlandish folly without being the product of a fraudulent education system...........What stands at the gate is an Islamic civilization. Where the West was ruled by law, Islam is ruled by the law of violence. You did your best to demoralize or destroy those who fought to protect you from this fate; therefore, your blood – and there will be much of it spilled – is upon your own head." Craig McMillan, WND, September 14, 2006
What McMillan is saying is that the widows, widowers, fathers and moms who lost their loved ones that day who are asking for answers to their questions and a new, real investigation, are responsible somehow for what happened and that the blood in on their hands, and mine as well since I have unanswered questions. According to McMillan we have "killed the world." McMillan's statements are the most cruel and irresponsible I have ever read. Next:
"However, where 9/11 conspiracy theorists cross the line into Bizarro Land is when they conclude, utterly without proof, that the Bush administration is filled with the most craven mass murderers in American history – in other words, that 9/11 was an "inside job."........In case you're not aware, brainwashers and dictators and master manipulators of all sorts have long known and exploited the knowledge that when people are angry, emotional and upset, they are automatically more vulnerable to outside suggestion (that is, to believing nonsense) than if they were not angry. (That's why Hitler always insisted on appealing to the German population on the basis of powerful emotion, never reason and logic). If, in addition, the people are in denial – that is, they've rejected the truth – then they are open to believing virtually anything. Having already denied reality, they literally have a need for lies." David Kupelian, WND, September 11, 2006
So, David is saying that all the family members who have reasonable questions that have never been responded to or answered, have become conspiracy wackos because they've been brainwashed, believe nonsense and "need" lies. Because I have spent hundreds - not ten or twenty - but hundreds of hours studying videos, reading everything available on 9/11 and have questions that have no answers, I am simply angry, emotionally upset, believe nonsense and have a "need" for lies in my life.
9/11 is an emotional issue. By the poll numbers, millions of Americans are upset and they are upset because they know they have been fed lies. As I have said before, I came to the 9/11 truth movement kicking and screaming after a year of willfully ignoring nagging questions. I simply didn't want to believe that my dear friends could actually have some valid reason for questioning events that day. Because 9/11 is such an emotional issue, there are Americans who will grasp onto any source that refutes any reasonable questions being asked and sling popular labels such "whack job" because they cannot go where it might lead.
Who in their right mind doesn't want to believe that what happened that day was exactly as presented by the Bush Administration? Any alternative train of thought is beyond painful and requires the individual to look evil straight in the eye. I also find it quite interesting that so many in the media who have questioned the government's actions in cover ups like the OKC bombing, TWA Flight 800, Ron Brown and other tragedies, refuse to ask even one question about the official story sold about 9/11. I suppose that's a tribute to the excellent job done by the Ministry of Propaganda in combating any efforts to find answers. The exception and kudos to Lou Dobbs for stepping up to the plate:
"Incompetence and ineptitude on the part of this government on September 11th and in the weeks and months leading up to it are established. The fact that the government would permit deception after a deception, whether honestly, if you can call it that, honestly intended or not. But the fact that they were continue and perpetuate the lie, suggests that we need a full investigation of what is going on and what is demonstrably an incompetent and at worst deceitful federal government." (Full transcript here; about half way down.)
In all my past columns I have recommended that Americans do their own research on this issue. Don't let me or anyone else make up your mind. Don't let someone from the media or your favorite politician tell you what you saw really isn't what you saw with your own eyes. If you are someone who has made up their mind that the government's version of events is accurate and you don't want to take the chance of finding out there might just be some questions that need answering, then that's your right and I'm not going to plaster you with a label. I will say this: it is not unpatriotic to question the actions of a sitting president or any event which takes place in our country. The basis for the unconstitutional invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq is a direct result of 9/11. The continued destruction of the Bill of Rights is a direct result of 9/11. This entire police state being erected around US is a direct result of 9/11. Shouldn't we be sure of all the facts?
No doubt there is a tremendous amount of silly garbage out there that has hurt efforts to get to the truth. I understand how difficult it is to separate the flaky purveyors of outlandish accusations and government disinformation operations from genuine research. I hope I can provide some important resources here.
Wayne Madsen is a rabid Democrat with a very public hatred of Bush and his cohorts. However, he is a very good researcher whose material continues to prove accurate. He has put together one of the most complete essays on a particular aspect of 9/11 that is factual. How do I know that? Because if you go back to all the investigations and hard documents obtained, the dots have been connected and verified. 9/11 was a crime of massive proportions and every single facet of the planning and execution of that day must be properly investigated and not white washed as we saw with the 9/11 Omission Commission. If some folks find this upsetting or wish to reject the very idea of asking reasonable questions, they should just move on to more comfortable reading.
The Israeli Art Students and Movers Story
"Being presented with a document such as the DEA report, titled “Suspicious Activities Involving Israeli Art Students at DEA Facilities,” posed unique problems in itself. For example, the document had to be verified as authentic and not a hoax. Many times, government agencies will merely state they “can neither confirm nor deny” the genuineness of leaked documents. However, in the case of the DEA report, confirmation of its genuineness came from the DEA in relatively quick fashion."
This column is 100% factual and contains a great deal of information that won't be covered by Katie Couric or Shawn Hannity:
Larry “Lucky Larry” Silverstein
"You’ve got to be lucky to make $4 Billion killing on a 6-month investment of $124 Million. Larry Silverstein is the New York property tycoon who purchased the entire WTC complex just 6 months prior to the 9/11 attacks. That was the first time in its 33-year history the complex had EVER changed ownership. Mr. Silverstein’s first order of business as the new owner was to change the company responsible for the security of the complex. The new security company he hired was Securacom (now Stratasec). George W. Bush's brother, Marvin Bush, was on its board of directors, and Marvin’s cousin, Wirt Walker III, was its CEO. According to public records, not only did Securacom provide electronic security for the World Trade Center, it also covered Dulles International Airport and United Airlines — two key players in the 9/11 attacks."
Here is yet ANOTHER American being terrorized for blowing the whistle about 911 events:
9/11 Toxic Dust Whistle blower Raided By SWAT Team
"A 9/11 toxic dust whistle blower, a ground zero hero and one of the individuals influential in the release of documents proving a government cover-up that deliberately put police, firemen and rescue personnel at risk, has been raided by a New York SWAT team - who ransacked his home for three hours after he was arrested. Major Mike McCormack is a hospital technician and civil air patrol pilot who worked the ground zero site for eight days after the collapse of the twin towers. He is one of the real heroes of 9/11 and was the man who found the American flag that was later displayed as a token of unity atop the rubble."
John P O'Neill died in the WTC Towers. Very few Americans knew who he was, but he knew a lot and his death that day was just another one of those convenient coincidences.
28-Year Career CIA Official Says 9/11 An Inside Job - Highlights missing Pentagon trillions as potential motive
A 28-year CIA career man and a former skeptic of alternative 9/11 explanations has gone further than ever before in voicing his convictions that the attacks bore the hallmarks of an inside job and the three buildings in the WTC complex were brought down by controlled demolition...Christison initially approached the subject unwilling to even consider that elements of the government could be engaged in such heights of criminality but his research quickly began to change his mind. "Just about half a year ago it dawned on me that not only was I trying to avoid an issue that might be extraordinarily important - more important than any other issue," said Christison. "I have since decided that....at least some elements in this US government had contributed in some way or other to causing 9/11 to happen or at least allowing it to happen."
What missing Pentagon trillions?
Rumsfeld Buries Admission of Missing 2+ Trillion Dollars in 9/10/01 Press Conference
"On September 10, 2001, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld held a press conference to disclose that over $2,000,000,000,000 in Pentagon funds could not be accounted for. Rumsfeld stated: "According to some estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions."
"Such a disclosure normally would have sparked a huge scandal. However, the commencement of the attack on New York City and Washington in the morning would assure that the story remained buried. To the trillions already missing from the coffers, an obedient Congress terrorized by anthrax attacks would add billions more in appropriations to fight the "War on Terror."
"The Comptroller of the Pentagon at the time of the attack was Dov Zakheim, who was appointed in May of 2001. Before becoming the Pentagon's money-manager, he was an executive at System Planning Corporation, a defense contractor specializing in electronic warfare technologies including remote-controlled aircraft systems. 2. 3 Zakheim is a member of the Project for a New American Century and participated in the creation of its 2000 position paper Rebuilding America's Defenses which called for "a New Pearl Harbor. 4 (Footnotes can be viewed at the link above)
A new DVD has come out titled 9/11 Press for Truth. This DVD was made by those bastions of angry, confused, easily manipulated family members who, according to David Kupelian, "need" lies. This video is important for all Americans to watch (free here). Americans need to see the Hell the family members went through to get Bush to finally approve an investigation. Why would Bush fight so hard to stop any investigation of that horrible day? I believe the answer is here:
Secrecy Surrounds A Bush Brother's Role in 9/11 Security
"The White House opposed an independent commission to investigate 9/11 until after the terrorism insurance protections and protections for security companies had safely passed Congress. It has also quietly intervened in lawsuits against United Airlines in New York, brought by relatives of the victims."
Explosive Testimony: Police & Firemen Report What Really Happened on 911. This is an amazing compilation of eye witness statements worthy of reading time; click here.
If you have taken the time to read the link above and because so much of the testimony is about bombs going off in the buildings, I will end this column by recommending that everyone watch a new video just made available because I believe it is the best on the WTC Towers. You can watch it for free here. This three video presentation titled 911 Mysteries: Demolitions, is by far and away the most compelling, professionally done explanation of what happened to the WTC Towers and Building 7, hands down. (Remember: Internet videos are sometimes difficult unless you let them completely load first and then hit play.)
For those who continue to label anyone asking reasonable questions "whack jobs" or imply we all "need" lies to get by in our lives, I would challenge you to watch 911 Mysteries: Demolitions and try to prove these facts wrong. Much hay has been made about the position of Popular Mechanics Magazine and their concerted effort to debunk 9/11 "conspiracy theories." Who made Popular Mechanics the one and only source for truth on 9/11 and everyone else is a kook? Do your own research, watch 911 Mysteries: Demolition and see if it stacks up to Popular Mechanics story or the version of events promoted by Kool Aid guzzler, Bill O'Reilly and other very high paid talkers. Despite these relentless smear campaigns, there are millions who won't forget 9/11 and we won't stop until all those responsible are brought to justice.
