9/11

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial-complex.   The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.  We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes... Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.                                     

                                  President Dwight D. Eisenhower's farewell address, January, 1961

The first stage of fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power.

9/11 is the biggest lie in world history- and it’s destined to fall sooner or later.

9/11 is in the hands of people who insult our intelligence at every level.  
This stuff doesn’t stand up to the most casual examination.
It’s like any of these vast, elaborate attempts to terrorize our people:  
Any free examination of the evidence on its merits exposes what’s at work.

On September 11, 2001, everyone with access to television or newspapers witnessed the mass murder of about 3000 innocent civilians.  The media played these images over and over again.  A Fox News anchor identified Osama bin Laden as the mastermind within 45 seconds of when the second WTC tower came down.  However, FBI spokesperson Rex Tomb admitted in 2006 that “the FBI has no hard evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11” (Muckraker Report, 6/10/06).

In fact the "official conspiracy theory," that the attacks were perpetrated by Osama bin Laden and 19 Saudi Arabian hijackers, is very easily disproved (see below information and Reflections on the Origins of 9/11: Three Scenarios (2002).  But as of August, 2009, there have still been no independent, fair government investigations, trials, or convictions for this crime.  There still has been no identification and punishment of guilty parties.  There have been no military court marshals for criminal negligence; instead, many of the individuals involved have been promoted.  Hence, 9/11 is still an unsolved (mass-) murder and the perpetrators are still on the loose and could unleash another 9/11 any time they deem expedient.

Our leaders told us that 9/11 changed the world forever and that we are now engaged in an endless "war on terrorism" that requires massive spending of public money on the military-industrial complex.   We have been told that, for our own safety, we must relinquish the "Bill of Rights" liberties guaranteed to us by the founding fathers.  However, an objective evaluation of the evidence indicates that the official account of 9/11 does not hold water (The Science and Politics of 9/11: Notes from conference in Madison, WI, August, 2007 .  

Rather, evidence amassed by countless independent researchers over the past 8 years, indicates that 9/11, was a hoax, "psy-op," and an inside/outside job used as the pretext or "trigger" to justify a much larger plan for endless wars of conquest abroad and imposition of a police state at home (References).  What's more, if we look beyond the smoke and mirrors, we see that 9/11 is part of a trauma-based, mass-mind control operation, based on fear, terror, and lies, designed to bring the peoples of America and the world under the domination of a relatively tiny, international ruling elite (aka, The Global Cartel or New World Order, www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=14839).  In this sense, 9/11 was not just an “inside job,” strictly speaking, because the directors and beneficiaries of the crime include an international group, a supra-national elite dominated by international bankers, which has no allegiance to America or the U.S. Constitution.

Notwithstanding its extraordinary complexity and sophistication, 9/11 is still a crime, and by definition, a conspiracy because involved secret planning by a number of individuals.  And to solve any crime, we need to answer the basic questions of "who, what, when, where, and why."  The "when" and the "where" are obvious.  So let's see what some of the top, independent 9/11 researchers have discovered about "what," "who," and "why."  As Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stated:

 When the impossible is eliminated, whatever remains, however improbable, is the truth.

However, caution, skepticism, and objective thinking are required in order to discern the truth from the intentional disinformation generated by those who are trying to keep the general public in a state of confusion and fear.  As Naval War College graduate and 9/11 researcher, Barbara Honneger, pointed out at the Madison, Wisconsin 9/11 conference in August, 2007 (The Science and Politics of 9/11: Notes from conference in Madison, WI, August, 2007 and Madison 911 Conference Part 2):

"The third responsibility of the perpetrators is to control the opposition."

Thus, key 9/11 researchers such as Dr. Judy Wood, refer to the "9/11 Truth Movement" itself as the "9/11 Truth Diversion Movement."  Likewise, researcher Dr. Morgan Reynolds states that the real conspirators control even the "9/11 Truth Movement."   In fact, Dr. Judy Wood’s excellent website (www.drjudywood.com) prominently features Vladimir Lenin’s quote:

"The best way to control the opposition is to lead it ourselves."

Theodore Hertzl, one of the fathers of modern Zionism, similarly stated:

"We will always lead our own opposition."

Alfred Webre and Leuren Moret, other speakers at the Madison, WI conference of 2007 (The Science and Politics of 9/11: Notes from conference in Madison, WI, August, 2007 ) also stated that the 911 Truth Movement is a controlled opposition movement.  According to lawyer Alfred Webre, this controlled opposition movement is planting false facts, using mind control techniques to create a matrix of thought and behavior, and is also infiltrated by counter-intelligence operatives similar to the FBI’s counter-intelligence program (COINTEL-PRO) during the 1960’s and 1970’s. 

Even so, due to the tireless work of thousands of independent researchers (References), I believe that, for the most part, the "what," "who," "how," and "why" of this horrific crime have been revealed in general outline.   Dr. James Fetzer, co-founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth (www.911scholars.org), convened a conference on "The Science and Politics of 9/11: What's Controversial and What's Not" in August, 2007, in Madison, Wisconsin which provides, I think, the best summary so far of what really happened on 9/11.  I have summarized most the 19 hours of researcher's talks at the following link: (The Science and Politics of 9/11: Notes from conference in Madison, WI, August, 2007 ).   

Fortunately, millions of other Americans are also now waking up to the realities of the 9/11 hoax.  Polls indicate that between 80 and 90% of Americans do not believe the official government account of what happened on September 11, 2001.  A 2004 Zogby poll showed that 63% of Canadians and over half of New Yorkers believed the U.S. government was complicit in the crime and its subsequent cover-up. 

As of July, 2009, countless individual researchers from around the world have written thousands of articles, hundreds of books, produced perhaps hundreds of DVDs and over 1000 websites, and have joined together to conduct numerous international citizen's investigations (References).  Certainly, many, important areas of debate and disagreement remain.  Many of these areas of controversy are legitimate and stem from different interpretations of the events and evidence.  However, as noted, some disagreements within the movement are deliberate smokescreens, stemming from the fact that the "9/11 truth movement" is heavily infiltrated.  Even so, I suspect that independent and honest 9/11 researchers comprise the majority of the "9/11 truth movement."  And together, these individuals have exposed most, if not all, of the answers as to the "what, where, how, who and why's" surrounding this unsolved crime.

2. The Official (Conspiracy) Story of 9/11 is demonstrably false

     The official account of what happened on 9/11- that Osama bin Laden masterminded the deadly attacks of September 11, 2001 using a laptop in a cave in Afghanistan, and that 19 poorly educated Saudi hi-jackers with box cutters foiled the most sophisticated military defense and air traffic systems in the world- is clearly a myth.  Some of the obvious factors and evidence disproving this "official conspiracy theory" includes: 

1)  No wreckage or any parts whatsoever from Boeing 757s were discovered at any of the four "crash" sites (see Morgan Reynolds website http://nomoregames.net and  The Science and Politics of 9/11: Notes from conference in Madison, WI, August, 2007 ).

2) None of the alleged Saudi hi-jackers was capable of flying even a small plane, let alone a Boeing 757 or 767 passenger jet.  Furthermore, pilots for 9/11 Truth, pilotsfor911truth.org state that in six flight simulations, two experienced pilots flying at the equivalent of 500 mph were not able to hit the buildings.

3) Within ten days of 9/11, the media announced that 10 of the 19 alleged hi-jackers were still alive.  Several others, including Mohammed Atta, were trained at U.S. military facilities, and hence, may have been double agents.

4) Despite the fact that standard operating procedures require the scrambling of fighter jets in the event of any hi-jacking, the U.S. military and NORAD failed to scramble any fighter jets during the 1 hour and 40 minutes in which the four allegedly hi-jacked airliners were flying off course.  

5) Whatever object hit the Pentagon produced a 10' by 20' hole that penetrated through the outer concrete rings of the Pentagon.  This hole could not have been made by a Boeing 757 jet.  Rather, the hole looks far more like the effects of the impact of a cruise missile, possibly with a depleted-uranium tip.   The following photo, released by the Pentagon well over a year after 9/11, shows the impact of the probable missile on the Pentagon.  Mysteriously, the image is labeled Sep. 12, 2001.

Again, photos taken immediately following the event show no evidence of plane wreckage of any kind.  However, photos taken later in the morning show teams of men in suits and ties (probably Pentagon workers) distributing small plane parts over the otherwise pristine Pentagon lawn.

6) Dan Rather reported on network TV that Osama bin Laden was in a U.S. military hospital being treated for kidney problems on September 10, 2001.  Many believe he died shortly thereafter.

7) All seven of the World Trade Center skyscrapers were completely destroyed and "dustified," or literally turned to dust, on 9/11.

8) In defiance of the known laws of physics, WTC buildings 1 and 2, each 110-stories high, turned to dust and "went away" in about 10 seconds each, that is, at the speed of gravity free-fall.  The 47-story WTC building 7 also disintegrated at the speed of gravity, in 6.5 seconds.  The very minimal seismic events associated with each event indicates that the mass of the buildings did not reach the ground in solid form.  The speed with which the buildings disintegrated would be impossible if the buildings came down in a "pancake collapse" as first claimed by NIST, the National Institute for Standards and Technology.  (see www.drjudywood.com)

9) WTC Building 7 was never allegedly stuck by a plane, and yet it fell down at 5:20 pm. 

10) The official story is that the World Trade Center Twin Towers (WTC 1 and 2) came down due to plane impact and fires.  However, no steel frame building has ever collapsed due to fires, either before or after 9/11.  The melting point of steel is 2800 degrees F., whereas the highest possible temperatures of a kerosene fire is 1800 degrees F and most office fires burn at only about 500 degrees F.  On 9/11, small fires only burned about 1.5 hours in the North Tower and less than an hour in the South Tower and did not reach temperatures above about 500 degrees F.  Additionally, these buildings were designed to withstand the impact of a Boeing jet liner.   

11) The supposed cell phone calls from airline passengers to their relatives would have been impossible at the time and therefore must have been faked.  Tests have shown that cell-phone calls cannot be made at altitudes over 4,000 to 8,000 feet, as cell towers are located on the ground.  Commercial airliners fly at 30,000 feet and higher. 

12) Enormous profits were made by insiders on plummeting stock prices of the two airlines allegedly involved- American and United.  Federal law protects their identities.

One of the reasons for confusion and disagreement within the "9/11 Truth Movement" is that much of the evidence has been removed, planted, falsified, and/or fabricated.  In order to determine what really happened on 9/11, it is imperative, therefore, to identify the evidence that is valid.  Dr. James Fetzer, co-founder of Scholars for 911 Truth (www.911scholars.org) refers to the body of valid evidence that must be explained as the “explanandum.”   Based on her analysis of over 10,000 photographs taken on September 11 and thereafter, Dr. Judy Wood (www.drjudywood.com) lists 41 phenomena at the WTC complex that must be explained on her page "WTC Cliff Notes:" Section AA2. Some of the Principle Data that Must Be Explained.  Thus, identification of verifiable evidence is required in order to arrive at an accurate understanding of what happened on 9/11.  Much of the  information below is taken is largely from presentations at 9/11 conferences such as The Science and Politics of 9/11: Notes from conference in Madison, WI, August, 2007  and talk show radio programs (Interviews with 9/11 Researchers).  Unfortunately, almost none of this material has been reported by the mainstream media.

3a. The Hijacked Planes

Law and standard operating procedures require that fighter jets be scrambled to intercept hijacked or off-course planes.  These procedures have been in effect for over 35 years and have been implemented about 100 times a year.  Nonetheless, NORAD failed to scramble any fighter jets during the 1 hour and 40 minutes in which four allegedly hijacked passenger jets were allegedly flying off course on the morning of 9/11.

 Also, on the morning of 9/11, there were as many as 15 drills or military exercises taking place simultaneously (Tarpley, 2006, References).  These drills included “Vigilant Guardian”, “Northern Guardian,” “Vigilant Warrior,” “Northern Vigilance,” “Amalgam Warrior,” “Global Guardian,” “Crown Vigilance,” “Apollo Guardian,” “Amalgam Virgo,” “Timely Alert II,” and AWACS.  The drills involved, among other things, live-fly hijackings of airplanes, air defense against hijacking, crashing planes into buildings, inserting false radar blips into FAA radar screens, moving F-16s to Canada and Alaska to perform military exercises, nuclear warfare, and emergency response to bomb attacks.  Furthermore:

1) Each Boeing 757 or 767 jet has about 3 million parts.  No parts or black boxes from the allegedly hijacked planes were recovered at any of the four alleged crash sites.

2) There were no Arab names on the passenger lists of the four allegedly hijacked airliners.

3) No verified security camera images show any passengers boarding the planes in question.

4) AA flights 11 and 77 are not registered in the Bureau of Transportation Statistics data base, so officially the hijackings never occurred.

5) Although FAA rules require that tail numbers of crashed airliners be de-registered within 24 hours of a crash, the tail numbers of American Airlines 11 and 77 were not de-registered until Jan. 14, 2002 and United Airlines 93 and 175 tail numbers were de-registered on Sept. 28, 2005. 

6) News reports indicate that UA Flight 93 landed in Cleveland, Ohio on the morning of September 11 and passengers were offloaded into a FEMA facility, not to be heard from again.

7) The aluminum skin on a Boeing jet airplane is 1/13th of an inch thick.  Therefore, aluminum planes have to shatter, crumple or go to pieces when they crash into steel/concrete buildings. 

3b. Media Complicity/Faked Videos

In the 911 Octopus and September Clues video series, video experts analyze archived television footage that was broadcast live on 9/11 (The 911 Media Hoax).  Their analyses and that of Ace Baker (The Science and Politics of 9/11: Notes from conference in Madison, WI, August, 2007) indicate that on the morning of 9/11, four different channels showed four different television realities.  Their conclusion:  Fake videos with fake planes inserted onto faked digital images of Manhattan were shown to the world on the morning of 9/11.

1) One channel showed the NBC Chopper Live images of the South Tower (WTC 2) but showed no plane striking the tower.  You see an excellent view of the explosion happening in the South Tower but no plane.
 
2) Local New York City station WB11 showed images from a Live Stationary Camera from the same vantage point.  This video image showed what looks like a chopper flying in from the right and crashing into the South Tower.

3) On CNN live feed, the reporter failed to notice as a plane moved across the screen.  The on-site reporter’s microphone did not pick up an impact sound.

4) Fox News broadcast images of an amazingly “lucky” fast zoom just as “the plane” arrived.   “The plane” is seen to come in from the right and crash into the South Tower.   Then we see the plane's nose come through the other side of the Tower.  The announcer stated: “There it is, the plane went right through the other tower of the WTC.”   (Since plane noses are made mostly of plastic and the WTC Towers were made of heavy steel and concrete, it would have been impossible for the nose to crash into the building and emerge intact on the opposite side). 

(Thus, this “airplane” was not a real airplane, but rather, was a graphic image of an airplane inserted onto the screen or onto a digitally-composited image of Manhattan.  Apparently, a supervisor saw the “nose out” fiasco and attempted a rapid fade to black.  But this occurred 0.28 seconds later, an error within the realm of human reaction time.  So the plan to simulate a plane attack actually failed.  But most people did not notice this.) 

5) There is a puzzling 17-second gap between the official impact time of 9:03:11 and the seismic recording of the “impact”  (or more accurately, explosion) time.  The delay of the live broadcast by 17 seconds is enough time to discard or retain a shot but not long enough to double-check it.

6) No actual witnesses saw Boeing jets hitting the Twin Towers.

7) The NRO (National Reconnaissance Office) and NGA (National Geo-referenced Intelligence Agency) spy satellite agencies that are most likely responsible for making these faked videos evacuated their employees from the WTC for a scheduled ‘“drill” of airplanes crashing into buildings on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.

8) BBC News announced on live television that WTC Building 7 came down some 45 seconds before it actually came down. 

3c. The World Trade Center Buildings

WTC Buildings 1 and 2 (the North and South Towers, respectively) were completed in 1970 and 1973, respectively.  Each building was 110-stories or about 1,365’ high.  When constructed, these steel-framed buildings were the tallest in the world and incredibly well built, each containing about 200,000 tons of steel, 425,000 cubic yards of concrete, 43,600 windows, and 60,000 tons of cooling equipment.  Each building weighed 500,000 tons.  WTC Construction Manager, Hyman Brown, stated that each building was “over-designed to withstand almost anything, including hurricanes, high winds, bombings, and an airplane hitting it.”

(Twin Towers before September 11, 2001 (left), and just prior to their complete destruction (right), photos from www.drjudywood.com/wtc/)

1) All seven WTC buildings were destroyed and largely reduced to dust in a matter of seconds.  WTC Towers 1, 2, and 7 were "dustified" at about the speed of free-fall gravity; the 110-story North and South Towers in about 10 seconds each and the 47-story building 7 in 6.5 seconds.  Indeed, videos show that the "demolition wave" (right) actually came down WTC 1 and 2 faster than the free-fall of gravity.  In each case, damage to nearby structures outside the seven World Trade Center was astonishingly small.  (See images on www.drjudywood.com).

2) Although the official explanation, a "pancake collapse," should produce a rubble pile at least 15% of the original height of the structure, photos taken on the morning of 9/11 show essentially no rubble pile.  (Dr. Wood notes that you could have driven a 4-wheel drive vehicle across the site, www.drjudywood.com). Building 6, formerly eight-stories high, produced a much higher rubble pile than WTC 1, 2, or 7  Thus, the 500,000-ton WTC 1 and 2 did not really fall to the ground.  Rather, they were turned to dust in mid-air and floated upward and away. 

3) Video footage shows steel columns and concrete in WTC 1 and 2 turning to dust in a process Dr. Wood refers to as "molecular dissociation."  

(Steel columns disintegrate into dust, www.drjudywood.com/wtc/ Figure 33)

 Other steel beams are seen to be thrown several hundred feet laterally as the buildings exploded and disappeared.    

(Steel beams are thrown out many hundreds of feet, Figures 8 and 9, www.drjudywood.com/wtc/)

4) Photos indicate that prior to the "dustification" of WTC 1, 2, and 7, "fumes" or "lather" (Dr. Judy Wood's terms www.drjudywood.com) engulfed the inside and outside of the buildings. 

("Lathering up" of WTC 1 and WTC 7 prior to their "dustification", Figures 34, 37, and 36, www.drjudywood.com/wtc/)

Similar "fumes" (ionized plasma?) persist at "Ground Zero" to this day.  In fact, some material at "Ground Zero" are still breaking down into very fine particles in some strange process.

5) Aerial photos show numerous vertical, cylindrical holes that penetrated as much as 8 stories below ground level, throughout "Ground Zero."  These holes are approximately 24-feet in diameter and penetrate into foundations, basements, and in adjacent streets.  Material within the radius of the holes has simply vanished. 

(Cylindrical holes at Ground Zero, including Figures E, and B under ZZA. Holes, www.drjudywood.com/wtc/) 

6) The impact of the "fall" of the North and South towers coincides with Richter scale seismic readings of only 2.3 and 2.1 respectively, which is about the same as that of a quarry blast.  The fall of WTC building 7 coincided with Richter scale seismic reading of 0.6, about the same as that of a jack hammer.  These very minor seismic readings indicate that the full mass of the buildings did not fall to the ground.  Rather, the about 90% of the buildings turned to dust in mid-air and floated away.

7) After initially spreading northward to the pedestrian bridge, the dust cloud abruptly stopped and ascended into the stratosphere.  Dust from the North Tower (Tower 1) went one block further north than the dust from the South Tower, which is located one block south of Tower 1.  In both cases, the dust clouds stopped abruptly.   The bluish 'nanno-haze" continued to waft upward into the stratosphere on September 12th.

(photos from www.drjudywood.com/wtc/)

8) Although fleeing people were enveloped in the "dust cloud," they were not burned.  Thus, the temperature of the dust was lower than that of the surrounding air.  Hence, the "dust" was not produced by conventional fires.

9) On October 31, 2001, "fuming" was still occurring at Tower 1.  Photos seem to indicate that the "dust/fumes" was breaking down into finer and finer material and then floating upwards.   Dr. Judy Wood notes the "fumes" had a painful, toxic odor.  She refers to the gray/blue "fumes" or "fuzzy blobs" as "nanno-haze" and notes that gravitational forces do not operate on nanno-particles.

(Fumes at Ground Zero on 10/31/01, www.drjudywood.com/wtc/ Figure 107)

10) "Ground Zero" is covered with enormous quantities of dust and a great amount of unburned paper.  The unburned paper also indicates that the buildings were not destroyed by conventional fires.

(Paper is everywhere at Ground Zero, www.drjudywood.com/wtc/, Figures 93, 94 and 95)

11) The "bathtub," including the foundations and sub-basements of the WTC 1 and 2, was not injured by the impact of the buildings.  This evidence as well as the photos themselves demonstrate that each of these 500,000 ton buildings essentially turned to dust and that very little of the actual building material actually reached the ground.

12) About 1400 cars and vehicles within of the WTC complex were rusted and twisted in extremely unusual ways.  Fires burned spontaneously in the vehicles and engine blocks as well as door handles are typically missing from these vehicles.  Dr. Judy Wood (www.drjudywood.com) refers to these vehicles as "toasted cars."

("Toasted cars," Figures 39 and 40b, www.drjudywood.com/wtc/)

13) Fleets of trucks were seen transporting many tons of soil/dirt into and out of "Ground Zero."  During the months following 9/11, this dirt was used to absorb toxic materials.

14) In the days and months following 9/11, as more and more dirt was added, the rubble pile at "Ground Zero" continued to grow.  Dr. Judy Wood postulates that the dirt was added in order absorb the dissociating particles, i.e., fumes.

Dr. Wood concludes in her website (www.drjudywood.com) whereas that she didn't know directed energy weapons existed before she began her research, the data itself told her that such weapons do exist and were used at the WTC on 9/11. 

Another interesting coincidence?:

15) Securacom was in charge of security for the WTC, Dulles Airport, and United Airlines.  Their Board of Directors includes Marvin Bush, brother of President Bush.  And their Chief Executive Officer is Wirt Walker III, a Bush cousin. 

Bombs-in-the-building or just pressurized air tanks dissolved by DEW (Directed Energy Weapons)?

Numerous witnesses, including firemen and others, reported hearing, feeling, and seeing explosions go off in the buildings.  Some were injured from the explosions and some reported being blown off their feet.   Tremendous explosions occurred at the base of each of the Twin Towers.  Firefighter Edward Cacchia reported:

We thought there was like an internal detonation, explosives, because it went in succession, boom, boom, boom, boom and then the tower came down… It actually gave at a lower floor, not the floor where the plane hit (Dwyer, New York Times, 8/12/05).

Teresa Veliz, a worker on the 47th floor of the North Tower, reported:

There were explosions going off everywhere.  I was convinced that there were bombs planted all over the place and someone was sitting at a control panel pushing buttons.  There was another explosion.  And another.  I didn’t know where to run (from Loose Change).

Light flashes (bombs and explosions) going off 20 to 30 stories below the “demolition wave” are recorded in video images shown in Loose Change and Painful Deceptions and in Hufschmid’s (2002) Painful Questions.

Columbia University seismographs detected 2.1 and 2.3 magnitude shaking in the South and North Towers, respectively.  Did these seismic events coincide with the first explosions in the subbasements, which were possibly designed to destroy the foundations of the buildings where they were anchored to bedrock (Hufschmid, 2002, References).

On the other hand, Dr. Judy Wood postulates that the more likely explanation for the apparent explosions is that they were caused by dissolving of pressurized air tanks inside the buildings that resulted from Directed Energy Weapons.  Thus, these explosions may have nothing to do with bombs. 

3d. Hurricane Erin!

     As Dr. Judy was trying find images of Ground Zero from space in order to better understand what happened to the rising plume of fine particles after the WTC was "dustified".......

... she discovered to her great surprise that Hurricane Erin, a Category 3 hurricane, was parked immediately east of Manhattan on the morning of 9/11!  Amazingly, no media outlets reported the existence of this hurricane, which was slightly larger than Hurricane Katrina. 

(Space image of Hurricane Erin with inset photo of plume over destroyed WTC;

note strange eye shape and "worm tracks" in eye in above photo)

   A little research showed Judy that Hurricane Erin was "born" on September 1, 2001.  It was largest and closest to NYC on the morning of September 11.  Strangely, although the crew of the International Space Station reported seeing the "terrorist carnage" at the WTC, they did report seeing this huge hurricane.  Hurricane Erin was, however, the subject of an extended study conducted by researchers from 10 universities, 5 NASA centers and NOAA, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. 

     Track of Hurricane Erin (September, 2001) from Pasch and Brown, November, 2001, National Hurricane Center. 

Conclusion:  Based on her independent analysis of over ten thousand photographs, Dr. Judy Wood concludes that the WTC complex was destroyed by Directed Energy Weapons (DEW), and that this probably involved the interference of two or more wavelengths of electromagnetic energy (probably including microwaves) in the presence of a catalyst.  Hurricane Erin was probably this catalyst and is at least partly responsible for producing the many weird "field effects" that Dr. Wood has identified in the photos (see above).

This conclusion is of major significance because it indicates that "free energy" technologies are now available that could be used for many constructive peaceful purposes... or alternatively could be used to destroy the planet.

3e. The Pentagon

The Pentagon is the most fortified, well-defended building in the world, and is defended by missiles.  The West Wing of the Pentagon, where explosions occurred inside and outside the building on 9/11, was in the process of being reinforced and renovated at the time of September 11, 2001.  The top Pentagon brass worked in the East Wing.  Andrews Air Force base, with two squadrons of F-16 fighters, was a mere 10 minutes away.

Boeing 757s are 155 feet long and have a wingspan of 125 feet and a height of 44 feet, including the tail section.  If the official story is correct and Flight 77 hit the Pentagon, it would have left about 100 tons of wreckage!  The two Pratt and Whitney engines of a Boeing 757 are made of steel-titanium alloy, are 9’ in diameter and 12’ long, and weigh 6 tons each.   However, no wreckage of a Boeing 757 or remains of any passengers were ever found or seen on photographs inside or outside the Pentagon.   The official explanation- that intense heat from the jet fuel fires completely vaporized the entire Boeing 757- is nearly as preposterous as their proposition that plane impacts and jet fuel fires brought down the three WTC buildings.

1) There was a massive, inside-the-building explosion at about 9:31 am in the West Wing of the Pentagon.  Numerous watches and clocks broken by the blast all stopped between 9:30 and 9:32 am.  Many witnesses report hearing the blast, smelling cordite (which is associated with explosives) and seeing reinforced windows bow in and out and shatter. 

 (Clocks in the Pentagon stopped at between 9:30 and 9:32 am, the time of a massive explosion)

2) This inside-the-building explosion preceded the impact of some object into the outside of the Pentagon by about 6 minutes.  The official government story was that Flight 77 struck the Pentagon at 9:47 am.  This was later revised to 9:38 am, still about 6 or 7 minutes after the bomb went off inside the Pentagon. 

3) Four witnesses observed bomb-sniffing dog teams inside the Pentagon at 7:15 am.

4) The hole in the Pentagon wall was much too small (10 by 17 feet) for the cover story of a Boeing crash.  So the side of the building was made to collapse 20 minutes later. 

5) The official story claims that Flight 77 flew into the West Wing of the Pentagon at 500 mph some 10 to 12 feet above the ground.  Due to the forces of turbulence and friction, it would be impossible for a jet liner to fly at that speed so close to the ground.  The jet would literally fall apart.

6) Immediately after the impact of the object, fire engines arrived at the scene.  Photos indicate that right after the Pentagon was hit, the Pentagon lawn was immaculate; smooth, green, unblemished with no debris.  Shortly thereafter, witnesses photographed teams of men in suits and ties (Pentagon employees?) planting debris from a small plane on the Pentagon lawn.  Enlisted men are seen carrying a very large box, covered with a blue tarp.   Could this be a box full of debris they are bringing out to make the crash look more plausible?

3f. Shanksville, Pennsylvania

A local TV anchor stated on live TV: “All you see is a large crater, about 10 by 20 feet, in the ground.  100’s of investigators have found nothing larger than a phone book at this site.   All you see is a big gouge in the earth and some broken trees.”   The latest government explanation was that Flight 93 happened to crash into a mine shaft and disappeared underground.   

George Nelson, an Air Force crash investigator, said it looked like someone took a bulldozer, dug and ditch, filled it with trash, and blew it up.  Government officials on the scene wouldn’t allow photographers within a 1000 feet of the site.

Wally Miller, the Somerset County coroner, described the crash site like this to the Houston Chronicle and the Washington Post:

It looked like someone took a dump truck, dug a 10’ ditch and dumped trash into it…. I stopped being coroner after about 20 minutes.  There were no bodies there.  I have not to this day seen a single drop of blood.  Not a drop. 

Cleveland (Mayor) White stated on the morning of 9/11 that UA Flight 93 was moved to a secure area of the Cleveland (Hopkins) airport and was evacuated there.  United Airlines itself identified the evacuated plane as Flight 93 (WCPO-TV, Cincinnati, 11:43 am, 9/11).   According to United Airlines, Flight 93 and another airliner were evacuated due to bomb threats.  Flight 93 landed at 10:43 a.m. whereupon 200 passengers were evacuated and brought to the Glenn Research Center, an empty NASA facility at the airport (from Loose Change).  We still do not know what happened to those passengers.  On April 10, 2003 David Freedman, an employee at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, spotted Flight 93 at O’Hare Airport.

Within days of 9/11, Bush and Cheney called Senate Democratic Minority Leader Tom Daschle, requesting him to limit a Congressional investigation.   After much stonewalling and withholding of evidence, a bi-partisan Congressional Committee was established in early 2002.  Members of Congress reported that the White House, FBI, CIA, and Justice Department were not cooperating with their 9/11 inquiry (New York Times, 10/5/02, CBS 5/23/02). 

Eventually, mounting pressure from victim’s families forced the government to set up an “independent” investigation.  But it wasn’t until 441 days after the attacks that Bush finally appointed the so-called “independent” commission (Zwicker, 2006, References).   The New York Times editorialized that it was clear that the goal of all this stalling was “to contain an investigation the White House long opposed.” 

Vanity Fair editor, Graydon Carter observed:

The Bush White House did everything in its power to derail an open inquiry.  Then when faced with its inevitability, the president and his aides sought to limit its scope, its access, and its funding. 

    Zelikow was part of Bush’s transition team for the National Security Council.  As Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission, Zelikow oversaw a staff of 70 “researchers”, mostly comprised of ex-FBI, ex-CIA, and ex-Department of Justice employees skilled in the arts of misinformation and disinformation.  Zelikow had the power to determine what would be researched and what would not be researched (from Griffin, 10/3/04).   Thus, The 9/11 Commission Report, which finally appeared in 2003, was effectively co-authored by the White House; and the process essentially amounted to the White House investigating itself (Griffin, 2004, References).  

    Congress originally allotted only $3 million for the investigation.  This figure was later increased to $15 million.  (By contrast, $50 million was allocated for the Challenger disaster and the Clinton Whitewater deals, whereas $40 million was allocated for Ken Starr’s “independent” investigation of Clinton’s sex scandal).  The committee had no subpoena power, little staff support, and was unable to obtain basic information like detailed blueprints of the buildings that collapsed.   The White House released only about 25% of some 11,000 documents requested by the 9/11 Commission, and the documents released were often heavily blacked out.  Administration officials refused to testify under oath.  Eventually, Bush, Cheney, and Rice did meet with the commission in secret, behind closed doors, but they were not under oath, and no tape recorders or transcripts of the conversations were allowed.  And the government has still not released much of the forensic data, which is either classified, concealed, or has been destroyed.   Zwicker (2004) notes that in a court of law, this pattern of behavior is known as “guilty demeanor.” 

    Harpers Magazine, Oct. 2004, called The 9/11 Commission Report a “whitewash, a cheat, and fraud.” 

    In The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions Dr. David Ray Griffin (2004, References) called the 9/11 Commission Report (Formally named "Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States") a  “571-page lie.”  Griffin noted that the report began with the a priori assumption that Osama Bin Laden and 19 terrorists did it and then selected only the evidence that confirmed that assumption.  Griffin found a staggering number of omissions in the report.  Of 400 questions posed by victim’s families over the course of two years, none were addressed in the report findings. Griffin documents 115 lies that the 9/11 Commission Report uses to reinforce “The Big Lie” of the official narrative.

The report laid complete blame for the attacks on the FAA.  However, a taped interview with FAA employees taken on the evening of 9/11 by an Italian journalist was confiscated and destroyed.  Indeed, the FBI thereafter placed gag orders on all FAA employees.

    Griffin (2004) noted that the report reads like a novel and does not contain an index.  Much of testimony was not taken under oath or recorded or transcribed.   The footnotes go nowhere and refer to things that cannot be checked or verified.  The report does not state who its author is, although, Griffin suspects it was Zelikow himself.   No victim's family members were allowed to participate in the process and the report does not answer the family members’ questions.  In one of his lectures, Griffin (2004) asked rhetorically; ”Can I find a true sentence in the book?  It’s hard to find any truth there!” 
     
4a. Victim’s families

The U.S. government tried to silence the 9/11 victim’s families by offering $1 million for each victim from the Victims Compensation Fund, with the stipulation that they had to agree not to sue and to stop asking questions.  However, over four hundred 9/11 victims’ families refused the “hush money” and have filed lawsuits against members of the Bush administration for “complicity” in 9/11 (for example, Mariani, 2004).  At least three such lawsuits have been filed, each of which has been censored from the mainstream media. 

In January, 2004, Ellen Mariani and her lawyer Phillip Berg filed a suit against the Bush administration under the Civil RICO (Racketeering, Influence, and Corrupt Organization) Act for malfeasant conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and wrongful death.  Both Mariani and Berg have been active participants in 9/11 Citizen’s Inquiries. Berg has stated that for 9/11 not to have been an inside job, over 60 federal agencies would have had to fail simultaneously.  Berg’s recommendations for how we might proceed toward prosecution and punishment of the real 9/11 criminals are given in Appendix A of  Marrs (2004, References). 

4b. Destruction of evidence

Evidence, including news clips, taped testimony, airplane transponders, etc., that disprove or conflict with the official 9/11 narrative has been confiscated, classified, and/or deleted from the official record.  Whistleblowers have been fired, witnesses have been threatened, and hundreds of FAA, FBI, and military employees, firemen and policemen with first hand knowledge of the events of 9/11 have had gag orders placed upon them.  And the government’s timeline of events on the morning of 9/11 have been completely revised twice (Zwicker, 2006).

Immediately following the 9/11 "attacks," New York Mayor Giuliani granted access to the WTC only to Controlled Demolitions, Inc. and AMEC.  Allegedly, Giuliani and FEMA oversaw the removal of steel columns and beams within days and sold the metal as scrap metal to Asia.  AMEC, the company that removed the steel from the WTC, was also responsible for both renovating and cleaning up the West Wing of the Pentagon before and after the 9/11 attacks. 

4c. The Pentagon

Within five minutes after the explosion at the Pentagon, FBI agents confiscated video tapes from security surveillance cameras from three nearby buildings: a gas station across the street, a Sheraton Hotel, and a Virginia Department of Transportation building.  Each of these surveillance tapes would show what hit the Pentagon.   But the FBI has never released these tapes to any investigative committee.  The FBI agents also ordered employees at these facilities not to discuss what they had seen.

4d. The WTC

Marvin P. Bush, the President’s brother, was on the board of Directors of the company (formerly Securacom, now called Stratesec, Inc.) that had the contract to handle security at the WTC “up to the day the buildings fall down” (Burns, 2003, References).  This company, backed by a private Kuwaiti-American investment firm, also had the security contract for United Air Lines and Dulles International Airport.  Marvin Bush resigned on September 11, 2001.  In December, 2000, Stratesec, Inc. added a government division, providing security systems to the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Department of Justice.  This same company stood to gain by limitations on liability and national-security protections from investigation that were provided in Congressional bills passed since 9/11.  HCC Insurance Holdings, Inc., a reinsurance corporation on whose board Marvin Bush also sat as director until November, 2002, similarly benefited from legislation pushed by the Bush White House and rubber-stamped by the Republican Congress.  HCC carried some of the insurance for the WTC (American Reporter, 1/20/03; Loose Change). 

4e. The Phony NIST Report

    Lawyer Jerry Leaphart points out that the Bush administration, under pressure, gave the task of reporting on what caused destruction of WTC buildings 1, 2, and 7 to NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which is located in the Department of Agriculture (The Science and Politics of 9/11: Notes from conference in Madison, WI, August, 2007 ). It took NIST from 2002 to October, 2005 to draw up its report on what caused the destruction of the WTC 1 and 2.  To this day, NIST has not yet issued a report on what caused the destruction of WTC 7.  

Drs. Judy Wood and Morgan Reynolds filed Qui Tam lawsuits against the 23 (military) subcontractors who wrote the NIST report for defrauding the U.S. government.  Chief among these subcontractors are companies that specialize in the development of “psy-ops” and “directed energy weapons.”   These contractors include:
 
1) SAIC, Science Applications International Corporation, based in San Diego, which develops “psychological operations.”  SAIC has about 6000 employees and is the 9th largest DOD contractor, with $6 billion/year in government contracts.  SAIC has more employees with top security clearance than any other company in the world.   
SAIC is also a weapons manufacturer.  (SAIC spelled backwards is CIA… S). 

2) ARA, Applied Research Associations, based in Albuquerque, NM, with principle ties to the Directed Energy Directorate.  ARA comes in second to SAIC in terms of numbers of employees with top security clearance.  One of their most recent newsletters states that the mission of “the concept development group” is to develop advanced and unusual weapons concepts.  They are working with major aerospace companies to develop such devices.   And they actually develop and manufacture directed energy weapons themselves.  And they are also contractors/consultants to other directed energy manufacturers.  

It is not surprising then, that the NIST report does not address or explain the evidence that Drs. Wood and Reynolds have uncovered, including 1) the lathering process, 2) the speed of the buildings’ destruction, 3) the absence of any appreciable debris pile, 4) the appearance of steel and concrete being turned to dust, 5) the appearance of cylindrical and perpendicular holes in the buildings, 6) the appearance of “toasted cars” at incongruent distances from the site.  

Rather, in essence, the NIST report altered their mandate from the original (determine the cause of the collapses) to describing “the probable sequence of events leading up to the collapse of the WTC towers.”   Thus, NIST and its contractors assumed the license to ignore the factors surrounding the actual “collapses” of the buildings.  The NIST report also included a couple of disclaimers; 1) the report did not come under the stricter requirements of the Data Quality Act and 2) nothing in the report could not be used in any legal proceeding for any purpose.  

In the process of the lawsuit, attorney Leaphart determined that the Directed Energy Professional Society, the Directed Energy Directorate, and their sponsors are probably the rosetta stone that tell us some of the key players involved in 9/11. 

 The foregoing facts lead to the formulation of a hypothesis that may be tested against future evidence and information:

a)    The World Trade Center was primarily destroyed by extremely sophisticated Directed Energy Weapons (www.drjudywood.com).   Dr. Wood, whose professional expertise includes the study of optical interferology, speculates that the destruction (molecular dissociation) of the WTC complex could have involved the interference of two types of energy in the presence of a catalyst.  At least one of the energy types was probably microwaves and the catalyst could have been the electromagnetic field created by the nearby presence of Hurricane Erin, which was located just east of Manhattan over the Atlantic Ocean on the morning of 9/11 (as per the radio interview with Dr. Judy Wood of July 14, 2009; Interviews with 9/11 Researchers). 

b)     Although four passenger jets were hijacked (by government officials or their surrogates), none of these aircraft actually crashed at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, or near Shanksville, Pennsylvania (www.nomoregames.net).  Rather, the "live" video images of planes hitting the WTC Twin Towers on TV were faked, as per the research posted on u-tube series by Ace Baker, "September Clues," and "Octopus 9/11."  If this is correct, 911 was also a media hoax (http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_james_fe_070726_mounting_evidence_o.htm ).

c)    The self-inflicted attacks on the Pentagon include the explosion of pre-placed bombs in the Pentagon followed by the cover story of airplane crashes outside.  The Pentagon was probably hit by a cruise missile, and/or possibly a A3 Sky Warrior as well a missile. 

d)    In order to make it appear that a Boeing 757 crashed near Shanksville, operatives dug a 10' by 20' hole in the ground with a bulldozer, filled it with trash, and set it on fire. 

e)    Finally, near Shanksville, a plane apparently shot down by an F-16 fighter left debris scattered over some 8 square miles. 

As of July, 2009, then, the evidence overwhelmingly suggests that 9/11 was a false-flag, synthetic, state-sponsored terrorism operation (Tarpley, 2006).  Certainly, this operation must have been extremely expensive.  Evidence suggests 9/11 was a highly sophisticated and well-coordinated psychological operation, a "black/wet op" coordinated by intelligence agencies (probably including Israel's Mossad, Britain's MI6, America's CIA, and Pakistan's ISI) and elements of the U.S. military- again, perhaps on behalf of a cabal comprised of a private, international elite.   Whereas 911 was used immediately to provide a pretext for wars of aggression abroad and imposition of a police state at home, the long-term goal of this cabal, apparently, is to usher in a one-world, totalitarian dictatorship, sometimes referred to as the "New World Order," or simply "The World Order" (Mullins, 2007, References).

   In the absence of a meaningful investigation or meaningful trials into the events of 9/11, we are left to speculate on "who done it" based on the information we can bring to bear.  If the good news is that the truth has emerged and we are in a better position to identify the 9/11 perpetrators, the bad news is that it appears as if the perpetrators are the international ruling elite.  This "Global Cartel" controls the various intelligence agencies and the military-industrial complex.  This "Global Cartel," in concert with their myriad corporations (including the media), front groups, public-private partnerships, secret societies, etc., comprise a “secret government” that has orchestrated world events from behind the scenes for generations.  The history of this ruling elite is summarized in Mullin's, "The World Order; A Study in the Hegemony of Parasitism" Referencesand also in Andrew Gavin Marshall's excellent "Global Power and Dying Democracy: The Revolution of the Elites" www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=14839 ).  According to Marshall, modern history needs to be understood as a "war of position" by the supra-national elite (The Global Cartel).  This Global Cartel is dominated by international bankers and dynastic families such as the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers who control the major banking institutions, centrally controlled by the Bank of International Settlements.

More potential good news, however, is that the actual ruing elite is a very, very small group (Coleman, 2006).  Unfortunately, this relatively small group exerts an extraordinary degree of control over most institutions in the world, including the major media (NWO: Diagrams, Flow Charts, and How U.S. Policy-Making is Controlled and Channeled).

In a talk before the 2004 International Citizen’s Inquiry, Webster Tarpley identified the cabal which perpetrated 9/11 as the "CIA/Brown Brothers Harriman/Skull and Bones/Bush family/ neo-conservative/oligarch faction."  Alfred Webre, lawyer and member of the Kuala Lumpur war-crimes tribunal, refers to this group as the "International War-Crimes Racketeering Organization" (IWCRO), the Anglo-American-Zionist faction, or simply the "New World Order" (see Webre in Madison 911 Conference Part 2 and listen to Webre audio interview (Interviews with 9/11 Researchers).  According to Webre, this cabal also has interlocking branches in: 

According to Webre, this International War Crimes Racketeering Organization (IWCRO) is synonymous with the Anglo-American-Zionist block, which is controlled "International Finance," as described in Knuth's "The Empire of 'The City'" (Empire of "The City").  The stated goal of this group (as per Quigley's (1966) "Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time"; References) is to impose a feudalistic one-world society in which slave-wage earners are ruled by the bloodline elites.  There are many front groups, secret and not-secret, which have advanced this agenda for generations.  Among the modern front groups for this agenda are the Royal Institute for International Affairs, the Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Commission, Council on Foreign Relations, etc.  According to Alfred Webre, the U.S. and Canada are puppet governments of the City of London, which in turn, controls the U.S. president, dictates U.S. foreign policy and the value of the U.S. dollar.  Again, according to Webre, the state of Israel is also a front for the City of London.  The depopulation goals of "The City" are to increase death rates and decrease birth rates of targeted countries.  False flag operations such as 9/11 and engineered wars such as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are ultimately intended to trigger a war of terror, leading to a possible WWIII conflagration.
 
7a. According to Webre, other goals of the New World Order (IWCRO) are:

1) to provide a pretext to engage in genocidal and ecocidal depleted uranium bombings of Central Asia in order to secure its vast oil and uranium reserves,

2) to roll out a terror-based national security system worldwide,  and

3) to implement the final stages of its world depopulation policy that would result in total control of the world's strategic resources and wealth. 

Neither Tarpley nor Webre, however, identified the locus of global governmental organization, which is the United Nations (The United Nations as World Government- according to Joan Veon).   And to my knowledge, none of the 9/11 researchers, with the possible exception of Afred Webre and Eric Hufschmid, have delved into the global warming hoax.

7b. Possible Culprits

Certainly, the “neoconservatives” are an important part of the cabal that seized power in Washington upon the selection of Bush in 2000 (Tarpley, 2006, References).  The neo-con doctrine is ideological and closely follows that of Machiavelli.  They endorse terrorism, martial law, coups, propaganda, lies, and enforcement of a state of emergency as the way to rule the masses.  Their academic guru is the late University of Chicago political scientist, Leo Strauss (a German Jew).  His disciples today include Paul Wolfowitz, Douglas Feith, Richard Perle, John Bolton, Lutti, Lewis “Scooter” Libby, ex-CIA director, James Woolsey, William Kristol, Michael Leeden, and Samuel Huntington, i.e., the people who essentially ran the Bush Administration. 

In turn, Strauss’ ideological gurus were proto-Nazi Frederich Neitche, considered one of the four precursors of Hitlerism, Nazi philosopher Martin Heidegger, and Nazi legal theorist Carl Schmidt.  With this intellectual lineage, it should come as no surprise that the Bush administration behaved in a criminal manner; stealing elections, detaining and torturing innocent civilians, conducting preemptive wars of aggression abroad, and using Gestapo tactics at home.

    The cabal that stole the last two national elections (Greenwald, 2002; Miller, 2006) serves a private, international financial network.  Evidence suggests this cabal is part of the same multi-generational “secret government” that has orchestrated myriad crimes in the past, including the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Kennedy assassinations, the secret wars of the CIA (CIA Coups and Secret Wars), the Iran-Contra affair, the Vietnam War, World Wars I and II (US Invasions Fact Sheet), the Great Depression, the Federal Reserve Act scam of 1913 (The Federal Reserve Scam), the Russian Revolution, and a host of terrorist and false-flag “war trigger events” in the same vein as 9/11 (Still, 2004, Schoenmann, 2004, also see Drugs, the CIA, and Ex-Nazis, The Illuminati, Skull and Bones, and "The Plan").

A few individuals or groups have provided what may amount to limited confessions to the crimes of 9/11.

7c. Clues: Confessions of guilt and/or complicity?

1) The Bush II agenda was outlined prior to the 2000 election in a series of policy papers written by the “neo-conservative” think tank, the Project for a New American Century (PNAC).  Among its recommendations: The U.S. should “pre-emptively attack other countries not of immanent danger to the U.S., abrogating agreed-upon treaties when they conflict with U.S. goals, installing U.S.-friendly governments to do America’s will, using tactical nuclear weapons, simultaneously conducting “multiple-theatre wars”, and controlling space and cyberspace for military purposes.”   The document calls for a global Pax Americana, i.e., “full spectrum dominance” of the whole world.  And it ominously states that the American people are not likely to support the required transformation of the military “absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event- like a new Pearl Harbor”.  The document also states: “Iran may well prove as large a threat to US interests as Iraq has.”   

    Prominent members of PNAC include Vice President Richard Cheney, Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Deputy Secretary of Defense (now World Bank President) Paul Wolfowitz, indicted former Chief of Staff Lewis (Scooty) Libby, Jeb Bush (the President’s brother and Governor of Florida), Richard Perle, John Bolton, Dan Quayle, Gary Bauer, Steve Forbes, Elliot Abrams, Paula Dobrianski, Robert Kagan, William Schneider, Jr., Peter Rodman, and William Kristol.  Many of these individuals are Zionists and dual-Israel/U.S. citizens, arguably more committed to the interests of Israel than those of the United States. 

   According to the documentary DVD “Missing Links," another document may be central to understanding the planning for 9/11.  “A Clean Break: a New Strategy for Securing the Realm” (or the “ABC doc”), created in Israel by the IASPS (Israeli Agency for Strategic and Political Studies), lays out a systematic plan for Israel to conquer the Middle East.  Many of the same authors of the “ACB doc” wrote the neo-conservative, Republican think tank’s Project for a New American Century’s position paper, “Rebuilding America’s Defenses.”  Again, this PNAC document calls for a “catalyzing event such as a new Pearl Harbor” to help mobilize Americans to accept the needed increases in defense spending to prosecute multiple wars abroad and the imposition of a police state at home.  Additionally, by engineering a flawless image of Israel and promoting Israel as a great ally of the U.S., the authors intended that the U.S. should carry out Israel’s foreign policy objectives of expanding Israeli borders to extend from the Nile to the Euphrates, i.e., to establish an “Eretz Israel” or “Greater Israel” (Piper, 2004).  Thus, PNAC essentially serves the interests of a “Zionist criminal network” and the state of Israel.   PNAC’s primary objective, then, may have been to foment and control the social and economic chaos following 9/11 to serve the benefit of this racist-supremacist power elite. 

2) Larry Silverstein, holder of the WTC building leases, appearing on PBS’s “America Rebuilds” (September, 2002) said he ordered Building 7 to be “pulled” (i.e., demolished):  At that time, Silverstein stated:

What is the background on the WTC and Larry Silverstein and his associates?  The WTC was a project of the Rockefeller brothers.  David Rockefeller, then Chairman of the Chase-Manhattan Bank, helped arrange funding while Nelson, then New York’s governor, controlled who would be appointed to the Port Authority, which owned and ran the complex.  The complex remained a perennial money loser, requiring huge annual subsidies to cover operating costs.  In 1991, the Port Authority began litigation in a U.S. District Court to try to recover money from investors for the estimated $1 billion worth of asbestos reclamation work it needed.  

Thus, the WTC was considered a “white elephant” and therefore, expendable by the financial powers in New York (Thorn, 2006).

The key individuals who arranged the privatization of and then acquired the 10.6 million square-foot WTC complex are Larry Silverstein, Frank Lowy (former Israeli commando and Australian shopping mall magnate), and Port Authority chairman, Lewis Eisenberg, who authorized the transfer of the leases.  Each of these individuals holds senior positions in the ADL (Jewish Anti-Defamation League), the United Jewish Appeal (UJA), and/or the New York Museum of Jewish Heritage.  Silverstein is a former chairman of UJA, which raises hundreds of millions each year for agencies in the U.S. and Israel.  Eisenberg is also on planning board of UJA.  It was Eisenberg who negotiated the 99-year leases on the WTC for Silverstein and Lowy’s Westfield America.  Silverstein and Lowy were the low bidders.  Six weeks before 9/11, the Port Authority granted the WTC leases to developer Silverstein, and the underground retail space to Lowy’s Westfield America.  Silverstein was already leasing WTC Building 7.  

On July 24, 2001, Larry Silverstein of Silverstein Properties signed a $3.2 billion lease on the WTC complex (estimated to be worth $8 billion), personally paying out only $15 million (or 0.005% of the total financing) to secure private ownership (Paul, 2002).  Included in the lease was a $3.5 billion insurance policy specifically covering “acts of terrorism.”  Silverstein, who has already received a reported $4.7 billion in insurance payouts, is now reportedly suing to increase this sum to $8 billion, arguing that the attacks on WTC 1 and 2 were separate terrorist attacks.  The Real Estate Journal article (11/5/01 REJ) concluded:

 
    Silverstein himself declared: “It should prove to justify the time, energy, and the psychic impact of what we’ve been through” (from Thorn, 2006).

     Silverstein is reported to be a personal friend of Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, leader of the militaristic Likud Party.

3)  In his book, “Between Two Ages- America’s Role in the Technotronic Era,” Dr. Zbigniew Bzrezinski stated:  

The remaining pages on this website give background information relating to the larger, overarching conspiracy to usher in a One World Government with a "New World Order."  I believe that in order to understand the significance of 9/11, we need to understand this larger plan, its history, its methodology, and the identity of those who are working to bring it about (NWO: Diagrams, Flow Charts, and How U.S. Policy-Making is Controlled and Channeled, The Federal Reserve Scam, The Bush Dynasty of Death: Four Generations of Wall Street War-Making and War-Profiteering.  These pages suggest that a relatively small, international financial elite has acted in secret over the past centuries in order to topple existing institutions, including monarchies, nation states, organized religions, etc., to bring about a global dictatorship with them in charge.  They have a plan and preferred methodologies (Techniques and Strategies of the New World Order: A Hypothesis to be Tested Against Historical Evide,).  Many authors, including George Orwell (1984, see References (chapter 33), have warned us about the diabolical nature of this "open conspiracy."

4) Another interesting possible confession, which includes the long-range motive for such orchestrated terrorism events as 9/11 was made by Richard N. Garner, member of Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and former Secretary of State, 1974, in “The Hard Road to World Order,” published in Foreign Affairs, the journal of the CFR:

5) Another compelling "possible confession" for 9/11 and the host of crimes justified by 9/11 was offered by neo-conservative scholar/pundit Michael Leeden, who has been amongst the fiercest advocates for U.S. invasions of Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and even Western Europe.  Leeden was one of the most influential advisors of Karl Rove, who in turn, was a chief strategic advisor of President Bush.

In his book, The War Against the Terror Masters (2002), Leeden wrote:

    Essentially, Leeden’s theory of “creative destruction,” holds that sweeping away the old order through violence and “total war” is the only way for society to progress.  (This is identified as the “Shock Doctrine” by Klein, 2006, Operation 9/11, the Shock Doctrine, and the North American Union).  In the last sentence of this quote, Leeden states “we must destroy them to advance our historic mission.”    But who are “we,” and what is the “historic mission?”

   Leeden is a Resident Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, author of more than a dozen books, and regular commentator on Fox News, and radio talk shows and regular contributor to William Kristol’s National Review.  He has worked for the Departments of Defense and State and the National Security Council.  

   After being denied tenure in the history department at Washington University for plagiarism and the poor quality of his scholarship, Leeden took a teaching job at the University of Rome, where he is rumored to have been involved in the P2 Masonic lodge scandal that rocked Italy in the 1980’s.  Leeden, an admirer of Machiavelli, studied and enthusiastically supported the policies of Italian fascism under Benito Mussolini. He returned to Washington in 1981 and became anti-terrorism adviser to Secretary of State, Alexander Haig. 
 
   As part of the Reagan administration's "anti-terrorism" campaign, Leeden worked with the shadowy network of operatives of the “secret government” to provide arms to Iran at a time when that was against U.S. law.  This was the so-called Iran-Contra scandal.  (ETK note: the shadowy network of arms and drugs dealers, criminals and ex-military intelligence operatives involved in the Iran-Contra scandal - which included cooperation and funding for Islamic fundamentalists of Afghanistan’s Mujahadeen-  later morphed into the modern Al Qaeda.  Many names of individuals involved were exposed in the 1980's by a lawsuit prosecuted by Daniel Sheehan of the Christic Institute).

   Leeden is also accused of being involved in the forgery of the document that claimed that Saddam Hussein had purchased yellowcake (uranium) from Niger and was planning on building nuclear weapons prior to the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.   This was a key piece of “cooked” and falsified evidence used to justify the 2003 US/UK invasion of Iraq.

   Leeden is also a founding member of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA) and serves on JINSA Board of Advisors.  At an April, 2003 address to JINSA, Leeden declared: “the time for diplomacy is at an end, its time for a free Iran, free Syria, and free Lebanon.”  (In other words, U.S. invasions of each of those countries.) He was also board member of the “Coalition for Democracy in Iran (CDI), founded by Morris Amitay, a former Executive Director of American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).  In June 25, 2008, Leeden addressed the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA).     

8. Blueprint for World Conquest?

The permanent war economy is created by controlling both sides of an artificially created conflict using the Hegelian dialectic, thesis vs. antithesis yields synthesis (Sutton, 1982; The Illuminati, Skull and Bones, and "The Plan").  War is and has always been the most profitable business for the world’s richest financiers and perhaps the prime money makers for privately owned central banks such as the Federal Reserve (Mullins, 2007).  Thus, 9/11 should be seen as one in a series of major planned, global, false-flag operations.  According to Alfred Webre, the NWO has been planning “Operation USA Freedom” for a long time and this essentially involves imposition of indefinite Martial Law, installation of a military government, and overthrow of the U.S. Constitution.  The so-called “War on Terror” (actually “War of Terror”) is expected to go on forever.

The deeper reason for military government, according to Webre and others, is depopulation.  Terms like Martial law, New World Order, Security and Prosperity Partnership, and North American Union (Operation 9/11, the Shock Doctrine, and the North American Union) are code words for depopulation policy to reduce the human population by between 2 and 4 billion persons and eventually to about 500 million.  Webre believes they envision a planetary theme park where the aristocracy rules a second tier class in a feudalistic system. 

Webre also asserts that global electronic weapons, including HAARP (the Department of Defense’s High Altitude Active Frequency Research Program) and chemtrails, are being deployed as instruments of environmental warfare in order to advance this strategy of global political control.  He notes that Hurricane Katrina was a test case and was teleguided by HAARP and that other HAARP capabilities include mind control and triggering earthquakes.  Webre stated: “Don’t buy into global warming,” because warming is occurring on other planets such as Mars due to the natural variations in solar output.  However, the U.S. military is pursing a strategy to melt the ice caps and global warming is being deliberately accelerated by chem trails, HAARP technology, etc.  Again, just as it was in the eugenics movement of the earth 20th century, the goal of these movements, including the global warming hoax (Global Warming and Global Government, quotes on the global warming hoax), is to reduce human population.  Their goal is to relocate, incarcerate, depopulate, and appropriate our property.

Page 3. The 911 Media Hoax includes notes I took from a series of excellent videos, entitled Octopus 911 and September Clues, which are posted on the internet.  I highly recommend that people watch these videos in order to understand how video images shown on the morning of 9/11 were faked using sophisticated Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and (TIGER) data systems technology devised by the National Reconnaissance Organization (NRO) and National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) (privatized off-shoots of the CIA) as part of the extremely costly ($100s of billions) Future Combat Systems (FCS), all paid for by American taxpayers.  Links to these excellent videos are included on this page.

Page 4. Interviews with 9/11 Researchers and Friends includes KHEN interviews (Truth Quest with Melodee www.givemesometruth.info) of Dr. Judy Wood, Dr. James Fetzer (co-founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth, www.911scholars.org, Alfred Webre (international jurist and 9/11 legal researcher), Dr. Ed Ward (medical doctor and independent 9/11 researcher) Sophia Smallstorm (maker of "911 Mysteries: Demolitions: Part 1"), and Richard Gage, architect and founder of Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth (www.ae911truth.org).

Page 5.  Did HAARP Or Another Kind of Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) Bring Down the WTC? explores the uses of Department of Defense's HAARP (High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program) in an interview with Jerry E. Smith, author of HAARP: The Ultimate Weapon of the Conspiracy (www.givemesometruth.info).

Page 6: Reflections on the Origins of 9/11: Three Scenarios (2002) is an essay I wrote in 2002 as an attempt to understand 9/11.  Examining pertinent background information, the paper pretty well proves 9/11 was an inside job.  In 2006, I wrote a follow-up paper, hoping to assemble the best information available and "solve" the crime.  This paper, entitled "9/11 was an Inside Job and a Psy-Op" can be viewed at www.patriotsquestion911.org, go to academics then my name, Eric Karlstrom or at www.erickarlstrom.com.  However, I should mention that I now believe this paper is wrong on many of the details of the crime.  At that time, based on a reading of the literature then available, I was persuaded that the Twin Towers came down by controlled demolition and that un-manned drone jets flew into the towers.  The best evidence today, provided by Dr. Judy Wood www.drjudywood.com and Dr. Morgan Reynolds http://nomoregames.net contradicts this scenario.

The One-World Government/New World Order

Page 7: UN / One World Government is a summary of Joan Veon's 2006 DVD entitled: "The Structure of World Government."  According to Joan: "World Government is not coming.  It is here."  And she explains and describes it.

Page 8: Operation 9/11, the Shock Doctrine, and the North American Union is an essay that I wrote that explores the possibility that 9/11 was deliberately used as a "trauma-based mind control" event to help usher in the North American Union, which would be an incremental step on the way to global governance.

Page 10:  Global Green Dictatorship:Regional Governance, Agenda 21, Sustainable Development and the Wildlands is a discussion of covert policies, originated in the United Nations, to merge the countries of the world into a One-World-Government/New World Order.  It would seem that the International Criminal Conspiracy has chosen the environmentalism as the Trojan Horse to incrementally establish Regional Governance (as a substitute for constitutional government), and Agenda 21 as a means of consolidating vast amounts of public and private land for the benefit of the ruling elite.  These policies spell the death of personal private property rights and civil liberties in America and throughout the world.  We might regard this package of U.N.-driven policies as "antithesis" to the "thesis" of the proposed new energy corridors New Federal Energy Corridors: Just What Are They?  Either way, the American people lose their sovereignty, their rights, their land, and their nation as they know it.  This seems to be part of the Democratic plan to advance the corporate takeover of America.  

Page 11:  The Federal Reserve Scam includes KHEN interviews with author Eustace Mullins (The Secrets  of the Federal Reserve) and author G. Edward Griffin (The Creature from Jekyll Island) (www.givemesometruth.info).  Anyone trying to understand the New World Order needs to understand the fundamental fraud/crime at the root of the modern money system, which is controlled completely by a small group of international, private financiers.

Page 23:  Banana Republicans is a review of Banana Republicans: How the Right Wing is Turning America Into a One-Party State by Rampton and Stauber (2004).  It is interesting and notable that the rhetoric of the Neo-cons now controlling the White House should so closely mirror that of communists like Leon Trotsky!  There is a reason: their objectives are identical, a one-world government tyranny ushered in through war, revolution and terror. And the same "hidden hand" that guided the Trotskyites, the Bolshevik Revolution, and communism, now guides the Republican Neo-cons! (Mullins, 2007).

Webmaster’s note:  I have not done original work in any of these areas.  Here, I synthesis information provided by others and try to identify the larger patterns.  No doubt there are errors of interpretation herein.  However, it seems to me that an accurate synthesis and understanding of this pertinent information is needed in order to solve these crimes and to avert yet much greater possible future crimes.  A number of pages linked to this site include summaries and links to interviews from KHEN radio's "Truth Quest with Melodee" (Melodee Hallett) program.  These interviews are posted at www.givemesometruth.info.

Education is the key to change.  As Jerry Leaphart points out, most government workers were not knowing participants in the 9/11 crime.  They are just as concerned as they rest of us.   So the best strategy is to educate ourselves and others.  This issue affects us all.
