The tragedy of September 11, 2001, goes far beyond the deaths of
those who died in the towers and the deaths of firefighters and first
responders who succumbed to illnesses caused by inhalation of toxic
dust. For thirteen years a new generation of Americans has been born
into the 9/11 myth that has been used to create the American
warfare/police state.
The corrupt Bush and Obama regimes used 9/11 to kill, maim,
dispossess and displace millions of Muslims in seven countries, none of
whom had anything whatsoever to do with 9/11.
A generation of Americans has been born into distain and distrust of Muslims.
A generation of Americans has been born into a police state in which privacy and constitutional protections no longer exist.
A generation of Americans has been born into continuous warfare while needs of citizens go unmet.
A generation of Americans has been born into a society in which truth is replaced with the endless repetition of falsehoods.
According to the official story, on September 11, 2001, the
vaunted National Security State of the World’s Only Superpower was
defeated by a few young Saudi Arabians armed only with box cutters. The
American National Security State proved to be totally helpless and was
dealt the greatest humiliation ever inflicted on any country claiming to
be a power.
That day no aspect of the National Security State worked. Everything failed.
The US Air Force for the first time in its history could not get intercepter jet fighters into the air.
The National Security Council failed.
All sixteen US intelligence agencies failed as did those of America’s NATO and Israeli allies.
Air Traffic Control failed.
Airport Security failed four times at the same moment on the same day. The probability of such a failure is zero.
If such a thing had actually happened, there would have been
demands from the White House, from Congress, and from the media for an
investigation. Officials would have been held accountable for their
failures. Heads would have rolled.
Instead, the White House resisted for one year the 9/11 families’
demands for an investigation. Finally, a collection of politicians was
assembled to listen to the government’s account and to write it down.
The chairman, vice chairman, and legal counsel of the 9/11 Commission
have said that information was withheld from the commission, lies were
told to the commission, and that the commission “was set up to fail.”
The worst security failure in history resulted in not a single firing.
No one was held responsible.
Washington concluded that 9/11 was possible because America lacked a police state.
The PATRIOT Act, which was awaiting the event was quickly passed by the
congressional idiots. The Act established executive branch independence
of law and the Constitution. The Act and follow-up measures have
institutionalized a police state in “the land of the free.”
Osama bin Laden, a CIA asset dying of renal failure, was blamed
despite his explicit denial. For the next ten years Osama bin Laden was
the bogyman that provided the excuse for Washington to kill countless
numbers of Muslims. Then suddenly on May 2, 2011, Obama claimed that US
Navy SEALs had killed bin Laden in Pakistan. Eyewitnesses on the scene
contradicted the White House’s story. Osama bin Laden became the only
human in history to survive renal failure for ten years. There was no
dialysis machine in what was said to be bin Laden’s hideaway. The
numerous obituaries of bin Laden’s death in December 2001 went down the
memory hole. And the SEAL team died a few weeks later in a mysterious
helicopter crash in Afghanistan. The thousands of sailors on the
aircraft carrier from which bin Laden was said to have been dumped into
the Indian Ocean wrote home that no such burial took place.
The fairy tale story of bin Laden’s murder by Seal Team Six
served to end the challenge by disappointed Democrats to Obama’s
nomination for a second term. It also freed the “war on terror” from the
bin Laden constraint. Washington wanted to attack Libya, Syria, and
Iran, countries in which bin Laden was known not to have organizations,
and the succession of faked bin Laden videos, in which bin Laden grew
progressively younger as the fake bin Laden claimed credit for each
successive attack, had lost credibility among experts.
Watching the twin towers and WTC 7 come down, it was obvious to
me that the buildings were not falling down as a result of structural
damage. When it became clear that the White House had blocked an
independent investigation of the only three steel skyscrapers in world
history to collapse as a result of low temperature office fires, it was
apparent that there was a coverup.
After 13 years people at home and abroad find the government’s story less believable.
The case made by independent experts is now so compelling that
mainstream media has opened to it. Here is Richard Gage of Architects
& Engineers for 9/11 Truth on C-SPAN:

After years of persistence a group in New York has secured the
necessary number of valid signatures to put on the ballot a vote to
investigate the cause of the collapse of the three WTC buildings. The
official account, if correct, means that existing fire and building
codes are insufficient to protect the public and that all other steel
high rise structures are subject to the same failure. The group has been
clever to frame the issue in terms of public safety and not in terms of
9/11 truth.
New York authorities, of course, continue to oppose the
initiative. The question now rests on a judge’s ruling. It is difficult
to imagine a judge going against the government in such a major way,
but the group will have made the point that the government has no confidence in the truth of its own story.
Over these 13 years, physicists, chemists, architects, engineers,
and first responders have provided massive evidence that completely
disproves the official account of the failure of the three skyscrapers.
The response to experts has been for non-experts to call experts
“conspiracy theorists.” In other words, the defenders of the
government’s story have no scientific or factual basis on which to
stand. So they substitute name-calling.
9/11 was used to fundamentally alter the nature of the US
government and its relationship to the American people. Unaccountable
executive power has replaced due process and the checks and balances
established by the US Constitution. In the name of National Security,
executive power knows no restraints. Essentially, Americans today have
no rights if the government targets them.
Those Americans born after 9/11 were born into a different
country from the rest of us. Having never experienced constitutional
government, they will not know what they have lost.
The anthrax attacks of October 2001 have been forgotten, but Professor Graeme MacQueen in
The 2001 Anthrax Deception (Clarity
Press, 2014) shows that the anthrax attacks played an essential role in
setting the stage for the government’s acquisition of unaccountable
police state power. Two Democratic Senate committee chairmen, Thomas
Daschle and Patrick Leahy, were disturbed by the Bush regime’s overreach
for carte blanche power, and were in a position to block the coming
police state legislation and the ability of the executive branch alone
to take America to war.
Both senators received anthrax letters, as did major news
organizations. The TV network news anchors, such as Dan Rather, who
compared the collapse of WTC skyscrapers to buildings brought down by
controlled demolition, had not yet been fired by Republicans on
framed-up charges.
Initially, the anthrax letters, which caused the deaths of some
USPS employees, were seen as the second stage of the 9/11 attack. Fear
multiplied. The senators and media shut up. Then it was discovered that
the anthrax was a unique kind produced only by a US government military
facility.
The response to this monkey wrench thrown into the government’s
propaganda, was the FBI’s frame-up of a dead man, Bruce Edwards Ivins,
who had been employed in the military lab that produced the anthrax and
was driven to suicide by the false charges. The dead man’s colleagues
did not believe one word of the government’s false story, and nothing in
the dead man’s past indicated any motive or instability that would have
led him to such a deed.
Initially, the US government tried to frame up Steven Jay
Hatfill, but despite the best efforts of the New York Times and Nicholas
Kristof the attempt to frame Hatfill failed. Hatfill received $5
million from the US government for the false accusation that ruined his
life. So the corrupt US government moved on to Ivins.
Ivins was dead and couldn’t defend himself, but his colleagues did.
The entire episode stinks to high heaven. Justice is something
that exists outside the borders of the United States. Never expect to
find justice within the United States.
Most Americans are unaware of the extent to which the federal
government owns the experts who can contradict its fairy tales. For
example, no competent physicist can possibly believe the official story
of the destruction of the three WTC buildings. But physics departments
in US universities are heavily dependent on federal money. Any physicist
who speaks his mind jeopardizes not only his own career but also the
career of all of his colleagues. Physicist Steven Jones, who first
pointed to the use of thermite in the destruction of the two towers had
to agree to having his university buy out his tenure or his university
was faced with losing all federal financing.
The same constraints operate in the private sector. High rise
architects and structural engineers who express doubts about the
official explanation of the collapse of three skyscrapers are viewed by
potential clients as Muslim apologists and conspiracy kooks. The
clients, of course, have no expert knowledge with which to assess the
issue, but they are indoctrinated with ceaseless, endless, repetition
that 9/11 was Osama bin Laden’s attack on America. Their indoctrination
makes them immune to facts.
The 9/11 lie has persisted for 13 years. Millions of Muslims have
paid for this lie with their lives, the destruction of their families,
and with their dislocation. Most Americans remain comfortable with the
fact that their government has destroyed in whole or part seven
countries based on a lie Washington told to cover up an inside job that
launched the crazed neoconservatives’ drive for Washington’s World
Empire.
