SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
Less than a year before the 9/11 terrorist attacks, soon-to-be top ranking officials of the Bush Administration (including Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld) and Jeb Bush prepared a document titled "Rebuilding America's Defenses" for the Project for the New American Century. This document proposed (a) more U.S. military bases around the world to project U.S. power; (b) "regime change" in countries unfriendly to U.S. interests including Iraq, Iran, and North Korea; and (c) greatly increased military spending, especially for anti-missile systems. This document suggested that the desired objectives would likely be politically impossible without "Some catastrophic and catalyzing event -- like a new Pearl Harbor."
On the morning of September 11, 2001, US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was speaking about about terrorism at the Pentagon. At 8:44 am, the Associated Press quoted him as saying: Let me tell ya, I've been around the block a few times. There will be another attack. There will be another attack." The first aircraft struck the World Trade Centre at 8:46am, less than two minutes later.
An enormous amount of fine concrete and gypsum dust was generated by the collapse of the twin towers. As much as 100,000 tons of concrete in each tower was pulverized to powder, requiring a lot of energy. When the towers started to collapse, they didn't fall straight down --they exploded. The powder was ejected horizontally 150 or more feet from the towers. Some firemen and other witnesses reported hearing or feeling explosions, or observing effects that seemed to be the results of explosions, both in the intermediate floors and in the sub-basements of the towers. Could high-powered explosives had been strategically placed in sub-basements of the towers for a controlled demolition, at an appropriate time when the world's media were covering the event?
On September 11, American Airlines Flight 77 left Dulles Airport in Washington, DC at 8:20 am. It went off-course at 8:46am. Radio contact was lost at 8:50am. It disappeared from radar at 8:50 when its transponder went offline. At 9:09am, the air traffic controller working that frequency warned that it may have crashed in Ohio. At 9:25, 29 minutes after the plane disappeared from radar, air traffic controllers reported seeing what they thought was a military plane flying rapidly toward the White House. At 9:38, the Pentagon was hit by what was later identified as Flight 77. How likely is it that a Boeing 757 could fly towards Washington DC for 29 minutes, without being detected by either the FAA's radar system or the Pentagon's own much more sophisticted radar system -- and then be misidentified by experienced air traffic controllers?
The attack on the Pentagon was carried out in a manner that would have the least military impact rather than the greatest military impact. The point of impact at the Pentagon was a facade of the west wing -- the one section of the building that was under renovation. Normally 4,500 people would have been working in this area, but because of the construction, only about 800 people were working in the area. Of the 125 people from the Pentagon who were killed in this attack, most were civilians, many of them construction workers. None of the Pentagon's top leaders were killed. A strike at the roof would have killed far more people. Could the attack have been deliberately planned with inside information to have a minimal military impact?
Photos of the Pentagon taken by Tom Horan of the Associated Press just after the fire trucks arrived showed the facade of the west wing where the impact occurred, but there was no sign of an airplane. Whatever struck the Pentagon made a clean hit and penetrated six reinforced walls. A photo taken at this time, before the facade collapsed, showed the hole in the facade to be about 15 to 18 feet in diameter, contradicting a newspaper report that it was "five stories high and 200 feet wide." None of the photographs showed the burnt-out wreck of an airplane on the lawn. A Boeing 757 aircraft's wings are 125 feet in diameter and its tailfin is 40 feet high. Are we to believe that the entire aircraft disintegrated on impact?
The Pentagon is protected by five extremely sophisticated anti-missile batteries. The military knew that an unidentified aircrft was headed for the Washington DC area, that two planes had already crashed into the World Trade Center, and two other planes were known to have been hijacked. Yet the Air Force did not try to intercept this aircraft and the Pentagon's anti-missile defense system did not function. How would you explain this - or do you trust Bill O'Reilly and George Bush to be telling the truth?
UA Flight 93 departed Newark 41 minutes late at 8:42 am. At 9:28, passenger Tom Burnett called his wife, telling her the plane had been hijacked. She called the FBI, who monitored subsequent calls. When they spoke again at 9:34, she told him about the World Trade Center attacks. Realizing that the plane was on a "suicide mission," Burnett and other passengers determined to fight back against the hijackers, who had only knives, not guns. Burnett did not believe that they had a bomb. Shortly after 9:47, passenger Jeremy Glick told his wife that all the male passengers had voted to attack the hijackers. (A professional pilot and a flight controller were among the passengers.) At 9:58, Todd Beamer ended a phone call by saying the passengers intended to jump the hijacker in the back of the plane, then said: "Are you ready guys? Let's roll." Also at 9:58, a female passenger who had phoned her husband said: "I think they're going to do it. They're forcing their way into the cockpit." A little later she exclaimed: "They're doing it! They're doing it! Then there was screaming in the background, followed by a "whooshing sound, a sound like wind," then more screaming, after which he lost contact. Another passenger, calling from the restroom, reportedly said that he heard an explosion and "saw white smoke coming from the plane." The FBI later denied this account, but the person taking the call was not permitted to speak to the media. The last thing heard on the cockpit voice recorder was wind -- suggesting that the plane had been "holed" -- shot down by a missile or two -- after it seemed that the passengers were gaining control of it. Is it possible that the Bush Administration had it shot down because the passengers fought back, as they didn't want any survivors who could be questioned about what had happened?
What do you think?
PS - By using keywords like September 11, Iraq, Pentagon etc, the CIA and NSA are now analysing/monitoring all IPs reading this. So they know who you are. Say something witty - make an analyst's day!
