Tim Russert, Dick Cheney, and 9/11

If the story that Cheney told Russert at Camp David, just five days after 9/11, was true, then the story told by the 9/11 Commission in July 2004, almost three years later, was false.

New 9-11 feature-length movie too truthful to show

On 9-11, filmmaker Paul Cross was doing post-production work in Washington DC when he heard about the "terrorist" attack on the Pentagon. Hours later he visited the Pentagon and saw that the official story was a lie.

"There was no passenger jet wreckage, no lawn scorching, no damage to lamp posts and fences, and no construction materials in the path of the alleged jet," Cross told me. "I immediately realized it was a hoax, and that so-called attack on the World Trade Center was also a hoax."

Cross says he was in mourning for weeks. "Literally in tears for what has become of this country."

He decided to make the feature film Severe Visibility to alert his fellow citizens.

Why were the tapes destroyed? Did they reveal the absence of confessions?

In their book, Kean and Hamilton wrote that they were unable to obtain “access to star witnesses in custody who were the only possible source for inside information about the 9/11 plot.”

The only information the commission was permitted to have about what was learned from interrogations of alleged plot ringleaders, such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, came from “thirdhand” sources. The commission was not permitted to question the alleged plotters in custody or even to meet with those who interrogated the alleged plotters. Consequently, write Kean and Hamilton, “We had no way of evaluating the credibility of detainee information” that was fed to them by third party hands. “How could we tell if someone such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was telling us the truth?”

The fact that video tapes of the interrogations existed was kept secret from the 9/11 Commission.

Criticism rages with accused 9/11 conspirators in court

"It was not justice, it was ridiculous," the military attorney for Mustafa al-Hawsawi, Major Jon Jackson, said Thursday after a hearing in the ultramodern new court building set up at the US naval base on Cuba's southeastern tip.

. . . the accused refused their lawyers' assistance, and some asked to be executed so they could be martyrs. . . .

Chief military defense attorney Colonel Steven David slammed what he said was the judge's rush to hold the hearing without giving the lawyers time to win their clients' trust.

9/11 families: Gitmo tribunals 'tainted'

In advance of Thursday's arraignment of alleged Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and others at Guantanamo Bay, the relatives of seven victims of the 9/11 attacks are charging that the military tribunals are "tainted by political influence."

In a June 3 letter to Susan Crawford, the judge who serves as the convening authority over the commissions, the family members claim that the latest example of the system's "politicization" was a secret invitation to attend the proceedings that allegedly was extended only to Deborah Burlingame, who lost her brother in 9/11 and has supported the Bush administration's position on the military tribunals.

Lawmaker asks McCain to talk with 9/11 theorists

State Sen. Karen Johnson, a Mesa Republican, delivered a letter to McCain's Senate office Tuesday asking that he sit down with Scottsdale activist Blair Gadsby and a pair of leading members of the 9/11 Truth Movement to consider alternative explanations for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the collapse of the World Trade Center towers. Gadsby's fast outside McCain's Senate office — 241 Russell Senate Office Building — entered its 10th day today.

Pinning the blame for 9/11

We sent the following to Chris Mondics — author of "Pinning the blame for 9/11," and "How Cozen took on a kingdom for 9/11 liability," a two part article:

Cozen was able to sue the Saudis because U.S. media failed to investigate what really happened on 9/11.

Recently, I went on a 3-week, 9/11 lecture tour of South Africa during which I spoke to audiences of several hundred daily. None contested my claim that the 9/11 Commission Report is fatally flawed.

I challenge you, and the 9/11 Commission, to rebut the facts and arguments I present at http://www.twf.org/News/News911.html.

Largest Swiss newspaper asks if Bush was behind 9/11

2,973 humans died with the attacks of 9/11. "Bin Laden" and "Al Qaeda", the Bush clan cried. The world believed themm. In the meantime even scientists doubt the Bush version. Now, Swiss university professors Albert A. Stahel and Daniele Ganser raise new questions.

"Something is not correct", says strategy expert Stahel in "World Week", and here he refers to the "incomplete" official US Government 9/11 Report of 2004.

The university professor confirms his criticism in BLICK: "Osama Bin Laden cannot be 'the large godfather' behind the attacks. He did not have enough means of communication".

Prominent structural engineers say official version of 9/11 'impossible'

UK denied appeal in Algerian '9/11' case

THE British government has lost its court battle against a ruling that allowed an Algerian pilot wrongly accused of training the "9/11" hijackers to claim compensation, his lawyer said overnight. . . .

The decision means Mr Raissi, who is trained to fly Boeing 737 jets, could now see him paid millions of dollars in compensation for lost earnings, the lawyer said.

Rumsfeld: 'Why not another 9/11'

In a newly-released tape of a 2006 neocon luncheon meeting featuring former War Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, attended by ex-military "message force multiplier" propaganda shills Lt. General Michael DeLong, David L. Grange, Donald W. Sheppard, James Marks, Rick Francona, Wayne Downing, Robert H. Scales and others, Rumsfeld declared that the American people lack "the maturity to recognize the seriousness of the 'threats'" -- and need another 9/11.

When DeLong complained about a "lack of sympathetic ears" in Congress, and a lack of interest among the general American public, Rumsfeld responded, "What's to be done? The correction for that, I suppose, is another attack."

Extraordinary times, intentional collapse, and takedown of the USA

Can it be that the last stage of the U.S. takedown is “The Project for the New American Century”? Is this ambitious plan for “global leadership” through military might that was seemingly invented by the “neocons”—many with dual U.S.-Israeli citizenship—a Trojan Horse?

It certainly appears that with 9/11 as a pretext, the neocons suckered the U.S. into the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq as a means of military occupation of the Middle East . Certainly 9/11 and the Iraq invasion benefited Israel, as some Israeli politicians have frankly stated.

Were the neocons also acting on behalf of the financial controllers in London and elsewhere? And was one reason the neocons were so eager to engage in a “clash of civilizations” against the Islamic world the Koranic prohibition of usury which states, “Those who charge Usury are in the same position as those controlled by the devil's influence. This is because they claim that Usury is the same as commerce. However, God permits commerce, and prohibits Usury.” (Koran, Al-Baqarah 2:275)

Steven Jones calls for 9/11 criminal investigation

Based on evidence of what he believes is unignited thermite particles in debris collected within minutes after the collapse of the World Trade Center's first tower, retired BYU physicist Steven Jones called for a criminal investigation into the destruction of three World Trade Center high rises in a speech at a 9/11 conference in Boston.

A video of his presentation at the December 15, 2007 event is available.

Barrett will shake up District 3 race

Kevin Barrett, the 9/11 skeptic whose questioning of the official story of the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon drew fire from politicians when he held a one-semester appointment as an associate lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, is about to push back at the politicians.

Barrett plans to announce soon that he will run as a Libertarian candidate against U.S. Rep. Ron Kind, the La Crosse Democrat who has represented western Wisconsin's 3rd District since 1996.

William Blum to Noam Chomsky

Engineer refutes the 9/11 Commission Report

Tomorrow in Detroit Enver Masud will refute the 9/11 Commission Report. This video interview conducted during his 3-week, 9/11 lecture tour of South Africa, gives an overview of Enver's position.

Why has the US dropped 9/11 charges?

The American government has given no reason why charges against the man it has alleged was the "20th hijacker" in the 11 September 2001 attacks on the US have been dropped.

Mohammad al-Qahtani has been held at Guantanamo Bay since 2002, following his detention in Afghanistan.

In February, he was charged with conspiracy, terrorism, and murder in violation of the laws of war, among other offences.

The US alleges he attempted to come to the United States in order to take part in the 9/11 attacks, but was stopped at the airport on his arrival.

9/11 co-conspirators charges referred

The Defense Department announced today that charges against five of the six detainees who are alleged to be responsible for the planning and execution of the attacks upon the United States of America on September 11, 2001 have been referred to trial by military commission. Those attacks resulted in the death of 2,973 people, including 8 children. The referred charges detail 169 overt acts allegedly committed in furtherance of the 9/11 events. The accused will face trial in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

In accordance with the Military Commissions Act of 2006, the Convening Authority has the sole discretion to determine what charges will be referred to trial. In exercising her independent judgment, the Convening Authority, Ms. Susan Crawford, has referred to trial charges against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, Ramzi Binalshibh, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi.

Michael Moore’s next is another 9/11 movie!

It’s been long rumored but today it really does look like it’s happening.

American documentary film-maker Michael Moore has agreed a deal with Paramount Vantage and Overture Films (who are co-financing) to make a sequel to the highest grossing documentary of all time - Fahrenheit 9/11.

Moore is working on the movie right now (it’s long been said to be titled Fahrenheit 9/11 and a half) which will be released next year, . . .

To Foreign Exchange with Daljit Dhaliwal

Dear Ms Dhaliwal:

I believe that "Who Speaks for Islam" is an excellent reference, but when it comes to Islam and terrorism, Ms. Mogahed makes the same mistake she says news media makes.

You'll see why if you watch this video interview conducted during my 3-week, 9/11 lecture tour of South Africa.

It may lead you to rethink Islam and terrorism. (I don't expect you to air my views — it wouldn't be a good career move.)

Should you wish to contact me, I live in Arlington Virginia, and may be reached on 703-521-xxxx. This Friday, I will be giving my talk on 9/11 in Detroit.

9/11 'Truth Jihad' author running for Congress

Two years ago, the politicians wanted Kevin Barrett fired from his teaching job. Now Barrett is turning the tables. Barrett is calling on the voters to fire the politicians, starting with his own 3rd District Representative, Ron Kind.

"The Democrats were elected in 2006 to end the war," Barrett explains. "They failed. Ron Kind and the rest of them keep voting to throw our money into that five trillion dollar black hole in Iraq. That's why our economy is tanking and gas prices are through the roof. It's time to give the Democrats and the Republicans their walking papers. It's time to fire them all." Barrett will be running as a Libertarian and urging voters to throw all Republicans and Democrats out of office. He will be handing out copies of the new DVD Washington, You're Fired while he campaigns.

Barrett said he was inspired to run for Congress by three people: Jesse Ventura, the maverick independent who beat the Democrats and Republicans to become Governor of Minnesota; Ron Paul, the Republican presidential candidate and defender of freedom; and above all Ed Thompson, the mayor of Tomah. "If Ed were running against me, I'd definitely vote for Ed," Barrett admits.

Tale of Building 7's collapse suggests official complicity, persistent obstruction

Reputable scientists, engineers, architects and firemen with no political angle dispute the 9/11 Commission report and say that the evidence indicates the Twin Towers and Building 7 came down due to controlled-demolition explosions. Tests corroborate the presence of thermite, an explosive used in building demolitions, at the site of the Twin Towers and Building 7.

Thermite also explains the pools of molten steel in the basement, which no one has been able to otherwise explain and which the National Institute of Standards and Technology simply denies. . . .

Time magazine reported in September 2006 that 36 percent of Americans believe the government was complicit in 9/11. A Zogby poll reported that 51 percent of Americans want Congress to investigate 9/11 further.

Aviation companies blame FBI, CIA and terrorists for 9/11

"The aviation parties anticipate that the FBI witnesses' testimony will demonstrate that the FBI had information before Sept. 11 indicating that al-Qaida may have been about to launch terrorist attacks on civil aviation, which it did not timely pass along to the Federal Aviation Administration," lawyers wrote. . . .

In the lawsuit against the CIA, companies including American Airlines Inc., United Airlines Inc., US Airways Group Inc., Delta Air Lines Inc., Continental Airlines Inc. and The Boeing Co. are seeking to interview the deputy chief of the CIA's bin Laden unit in 2001, and an FBI special agent assigned to the unit at that time. The names of both are secret.

Growing 9/11 truth movement

The 9/11 truth movement continues to grow. Among those questioning the U.S. governments version of 9/11 are:

130+ military, intelligence, law enforcement, and government officials;
400+ engineers and architects;
110+ pilots and aviation professionals;
240+ professors;
200+ 9/11 survivors and victim's family members;
130+ artists, entertainers, and media professionals.

Many adults in the United States believe the current federal government has not been completely forthcoming on the issue of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, according to a poll conducted in 2006 by the New York Times and CBS News. 53 per cent of respondents think the Bush administration is hiding something, and 28 per cent believe it is lying.

More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East, according to a new Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll also conducted in 2006.

Memorandum on 9/11 submitted to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions

Icelandic scholar and human rights activist, Elias Davidsson, on April 14, 2008, submitted to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial, Summary or Arbitrary Executions, a detailed memorandum describing the failure of the United States government to adequately investigate the mass murders of September 11, 2001, thereby, failing to fulfill its international obligations.

The Israeli military aircraft company tied to 9-11

A little-known and privately-held aircraft leasing company created by the Israeli military intelligence is connected to the Mossad-run airport security and passenger screening company at the center of the "false flag" terror network of 9-11. . . .

In December 2001, veteran German intelligence professionals told me that 9-11 had been executed by a state-sponsored criminal network and had required years of planning. . . .

The FBI, for example, under the command of the Israeli dual-national Michael Chertoff, is responsible for the confiscation of the crucial evidence from 9-11, evidence which has been withheld for than 6 years. This evidence includes video tapes of the Pentagon attack and physical pieces from the different aircraft involved.

The lack of foundation damage at the Pentagon is irreconcilable with the official reports and data

The ASCE Building Performance Report has meticulously documented the damage to the building and has come to the conclusion that all damage from the alleged plane impact was limited to the bottom two floors, but primarily below the 2nd floor slab so that 90 tons of jumbo jet would have slid on it's belly across the 1st floor slab all the way through the C-ring. . . .

With a finite amount of space between the bottom two floors and the required wing tilt that they report, the ASCE report illustrates that about half of the left engine would have burrowed into the foundation of the building.

9/11 revisionist science published in Civil Engineering Journal

"Fourteen Points of Agreement with Official Government Reports on the World Trade Center Destruction" was published by the Open Civil Engineering Journal on Friday, giving cause to jubilation amongst the many activists who have been seeking recognition of the glaring contradictions and impossibilities of the official version of the September 11, 2001 attacks within the United States of America. . . .

The renowned U.S. critic Noam Chomsky had pointed out in correspondence with 9/11 "truth activists" that “Since the evidence is so obvious and compelling, submit an article about it to Science, or Nature, or even Scientific American, or more technical journals, say those in civil engineering, where your article can refute the conclusions of the professional society of civil engineers… To date, no one has been willing to submit an article -- at least, after probably hundreds of inquiries to Truth Movement advocates, no one has been able to mention one...”

Iranian casts doubts on Sept. 11 attack, ground zero deaths

Iran's hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cast doubt Wednesday over the U.S. version of the Sept. 11 attacks, calling it a pretext used to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.

Although Iran has condemned the 2001 al-Qaida attacks on New York and Washington in the past, this was the third time in a week that Ahmadinejad questioned the death toll, who was behind the attacks and how it happened.

Effort to break the corporate media blockade

Last week, leaders representing over thirty 9/11 truth groups, including scientists, architects, engineers, physicists, pilots, first responders, teachers, former government officials, celebrities, and loved ones of victims lost on 9/11 – all came together via conference call to organize a series of monthly events, to be known as the Week of Truth.

Former air traffic controller Robin Hordon speaks out

Within three hours of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Robin Hordon knew it was an inside job. He had been an Air Traffic Controller (ATC) for eleven years before Reagan fired him and hundreds of his colleagues after they went on strike in the eighties. Having handled in-flight emergencies and two actual hijackings in his career, he is well qualified to comment on what NORAD should have been able to achieve in its response to the near simultaneous hijacking of four domestic passenger carriers on the morning of September 11th, 2001.

“There had to be something huge to explain why those aircraft weren’t shot down out of the sky. We have fighters on the ready to handle these situations twenty-four-seven. We have NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) monitors monitoring our skies twenty-four-seven. We have a lot of human beings, civilian and military, who care about doing their jobs.”

UN official calls for study of neocons' role in 9/11

On March 26, Richard Falk, Milbank professor of international law emeritus at Princeton University, was named by unanimous vote to a newly created position to report on human rights in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs. While Mr. Falk's specialty is human rights and international law, since the attacks in 2001, he has devoted some of his time to challenging what he calls the "9-11 official version."

Top Democrats demand Attorney General explain remarks about pre-9/11 phone call

A letter has been sent by leaders of the House Judiciary Committee to Attorney General Michael Mukasey, demanding that he explain a recent public statement that federal authorities failed to intercept a call from suspected terrorists in Afghanistan prior to the 9/11 attacks, when doing so could have prevented the attacks from taking place.

Ted Olson's report of phone calls from Barbara Olson on 9/11: Three official denials

The most serious official contradiction of Ted Olson's story came in 2006 at the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker. The evidence presented to this trial by the FBI included a report on phone calls from all four 9/11 flights. In its report on American Flight 77, the FBI report attributed only one call to Barbara Olson and it was an "unconnected call," which (of course) lasted "0 seconds." According to the FBI, therefore, Ted Olson did not receive a single call from his wife using either a cell phone or an onboard phone.

Enver Masud to speak on 9/11 in Canton, Michigan

Enver Masud—an engineer and award-winning author—says: “The major conclusions of the 9/11 Commission report are false.”

Enver recently returned from a 3-week, 9/11 lecture tour of South Africa—one TV interview was broadcast to Sub-Saharan Africa, and the U.S. embassy was asked to present opposing views (they failed to respond). Enver is a contributing author of 9/11 and American Empire.

Ventura wrestles with what really happened on 9/11

Minnesota's former governor, Jesse Ventura, says he's been doing some research into the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center, and it's looking to him like the truth about what brought buildings down has yet to come out, in part because of a media coverup.

Frontline allowed Cheney to lie

Cheney failed to tell us, that at the same time as the REAL 9/11 attacks, he was personally directing "War Games" DRILLS with imaginary "hijacked airliners" attacking east coast buildings! Air Defenses were confused by 22 imaginary (and real) hijacked aircraft!

'Al Qaeda itself does not exist'

"The Power of Nightmares: The Rise of the Politics of Fear," a three-hour historical film by Adam Curtis recently aired by the British Broadcasting Corp., argues coherently that much of what we have been told about the threat of international terrorism "is a fantasy that has been exaggerated and distorted by politicians. . . .

But the film . . . directly challenges the conventional wisdom by making a powerful case that the Bush administration, led by a tight-knit cabal of Machiavellian neoconservatives, has seized upon the false image of a unified international terrorist threat to replace the expired Soviet empire in order to push a political agenda.

Don't execute 9/11 accused: Mukasey

U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey said on Friday he hoped the six Guantanamo prisoners charged with the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington would not receive the death penalty....

Human rights groups call the proceedings a farce, as detainees do not have legal rights normally accorded to U.S. citizens and prisoners of war.

Pakistani Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and five others are charged with crimes including murder, conspiracy and terrorism for the attacks which killed around 3,000 people in 2001.

Former Italian president: 9/11 orchestrated by CIA, Mossad

Former Italian president Francesco Cossiga, the man who revealed the existence of Operation Gladio, says that the September 11, 2001 attacks were orchestrated by the CIA and Mossad, and that this was common knowledge amongst global intelligence agencies.

Cossiga's revelations about 9/11 were published last week in Italy's oldest, and widely read, newspaper—Corriere della Sera.

Roughly translated from Italian, Cossiga says, "the disastrous attack has been planned and realized from the American CIA and the Mossad with the aid of the zionists in order to put under accusation the Arabic Countries and in order to induce the western powers to take part are in Iraq are in Afghanistan".

Cossiga joins the growing movement of family members of those who perished on 9/11, engineers, scientists, government and intelligence personnel, etc. who seek the truth about 9/11.

Oscar-winner accuses America of fabricating 9/11

Marion Cotillard, the 32-year-old French actress, who received an Oscar last month for her performance as singer Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose, openly questioned the truth behind the terrorist atrocity in an interview broadcast on a French website.

But, faced with losing millions as the notoriously patriotic Hollywood film industry reacted against her vitriol, Cotillard claimed there had been a misunderstanding.
