Actually getting to the TRUTH of 9-11 is the greatest Rememberance and Honor that we could ever bestoy to all those who lost there lives on 9-11, and their surviving families.

Their lives cry out from the grave not to ever forget them, and to solve this tragic murder for once and for all. It is not solved. Far from it. Reinvestigate 9-11.

And then once known, to seek righteous justice against the true perpetrators of this hideous crime (I personally would leave that to GOD - since I don't believe in the death penalty. I believe only GOD can judge). But we can certainly lock them away forever, and lose the keys.

Sadly, I don't think most Americans want to know, because they know in their hearts they won't like the answer, and then they will be forced to face their worst nightmare and realization - MIHOP.

EDIT: Facing the truth requires courage. But hey, we're climbers. We have lots of courage. We should be able to face this.

Wes, I gotta agree. While I may not agree with many others, I can understand where they are coming from and why they think certain things. It makes sense to me why some argue against gay marriage or have issues with the current administration. That is logical.


Illogical is refusing to believe the numerous point-by-point rebuttals and simple facts. Wes, when you show me facts on issues regarding scientific research or studies, I take them to heart. As long as you have an unbiased source, facts are something we can all sink our teeth into.

Innocent questions that could use answers:

1) Why did Bush have to be forced to fund the 9/11 Commission?

2) Why did Bush refuse to testify under oath about 9/11?

3) Why couldn't Bush's testimony on 9/11 be taped, recorded, or in any way preserved?

4) Why did the questions have to be pre-screened?

5) Do you think Bush has something to hide WRT 9/11?

It is true. 9-11 has not been thoroughly investigated. Any attempt to really trully investigate it just gets shot down. I wonder why?

Even looking at, or attempting to look at, or to study foresically any debrie from 9-11 from a non-biased, non-government, non-partisan investigative international team point of view just gets shot down by our government. What is there to hide? Hey, if it trully was Arabs with box-cutter knives and jet fuel that brought it all down, then the electron microprobe or microscopic forensic study will show that, even at this late stage in the cover-up, 7 years later.

Our government is supposed to have an incredible amount of footage from many cameras focused on the Pentagon, from many perspectives that shows the airline going into the building. We have seen none of it. And don't tell me about the one video that looks like a small aircraft or missile that is leaving a smoking trail flying into the Pentagon that they have released. That just proves our point. It wasn't a jet airliner. Show us all the footage. Prove it.

The 9-11 Commission Report has been rightfully called "The 9-11 Ommission Report." The entire event has not ever been rightfully investigated completely, just white-washed only. What is there to hide?

Spectacular coincedences happened on 9-11-01, over and over and over again, and the laws of physics were suspended. The OCT does not match the evidence that is known at this time.

That my friend means that hypothesis and/or theory is busted. That is how the scientific method works. The moment your hypothesis is invalidated then it is done. Time for a new one. Well, apparently the government hasn't gotten the memo. Much of the OCT has been invalidated with known public evidence. So why are they still hanging on to it?

The CTs of 9-11 actually tie the known evidence together better without invalidations. Is it perfect? No. But when you have a government hiding the evidence and not letting it all be studied in the full day light of science, what can you do?

Read any 9-11 book by Dr. David Ray Griffin. He gets it so simply and logically. He can blow the OCT out of the water without really trying.

It seems a bit more complicated than pulling a beer run at the local Stop and Shop, which according to this forum, would be a high water mark for Bush.

Here's an interesting thought, and while I have not heard it elsewhere, I'm sure it's not original:

What's the difference of pre-9/11 Iraq War planning and then using 9/11 as an excuse for Bush/Cheney and cohorts to push their agenda, not only in Iraq but elsewhere (including the US)...

and

... Putin pre-planning an invasion of Georgia and then goading that idiot Saakashvili into a stupid attack and then rolling in Ruskie tanks and troops (and jets) in a clearly planned manoeuvre?


Not much difference that I can see. Putin and Cheney are cut from the same cloth (though I suspect Putin is a bit cleverer). Bush? He’s just a puppet.

They all need to be chucked in prison, or on a chain gang.

And what’s the difference of American missiles on Russia’s doorstep in Poland, and Russian missiles on America’s doorstep in Cuba?

Not much difference if you look at both sides of the story.


More on this later when I have time to ponder, as I am in the middle of production for the next issue of the magazine and it’s early in the morning (and I’m heading for a late Alpine start).


Hey, I might even start a thread on the subject (aaarrrgghhh, teeth grinding).

I can't imagine anything that illustrates the tragedy of faction more than this thread. After reading all 60 of the responses, all I see is exageration, hyperbole, and vitriol toward those with the temerity to disagree with us.

Shame on us! We had a tragedy that should have united our country, and did, briefly. Unfortunately, some people decided that the result of that unity was that their faction would not increase the way they wanted, so they put faction ahead of the good of the country.

I expected from the title of this thread to see something unifying. Instead, I get something factious, and undeniable only to those with one particular partisan perspective. I find this demeaning to the memory of those killed in these attacks, and unedifying for the rest of us.

the saddest thing about 9/11 is that it could have been prevented.

Incompetence and stupidity allowed 9/11 as much as anything else.

A laptop could have been seized, permission was asked to seize it, and was denied.

The relevant details for 9/11 were on this laptop.


In addition, two al quaida operatives involved in 9/11 were followed to a high level meeting in pakistan, then they were 'lost' when they left.


This is not left wingnut conspiracy theory, it is fact. You can look it up.


And yes, what Bush did after 9/11, instead of rooting out incompetence and demanding good work, was to grant himself the powers of a 16th century king, and allow the US to torture-- All of which did nothing but make it almost impossible to prosecute offenders effectively, as even the military tribunals don't like to deal with evidence tainted by torture.


If you don't believe that, look at the roaring successes from the few trials held so far.

Yes 9/11 was horrible, but the Bush Cheney war criminals made a mockery of everything America stands for, and shamed the memory of those who died in the tragedy AND in the stupid war for no reason in Iraq, while they let Al Qaida get away with a half done job in Afghanistan.

You should check your history, Dirt. Bush has not granted himself anything. Lincoln, among other things, suspended the writ of habeus corpus during the Civil War. Had Bush done so (remember, he has that right constitutionally as president), all of the federal court challenges to his actions could not have happened. Wilson had truly extraordinary powers, including some amzing powers to stifle dissent, during World War I. The Roosevelt administration virtually ran the entire country -- including the media -- during World War II.

Sorry, but this partisan ranting needs to end, at least for today. Neither side will convince the other, so enough, already!

Today in class we teachers were requested to show a program to our students that was broadcasted over the entire campus on TV to honor and remember all those who lost their lives on 9-11-01, 7 years ago.

It was sponsored by our HS's JROTC, with a soundtrack by U2.

So I played it on time for my 2nd period physics class. I couldn't help but think that it was just like the program shown at the RNC parade (although I didn't see that, but heard plenty about it from KO on MSNBC), with all the tragic images and footage of the airliners slamming into the WTC towers over and over again and showing all the grief and dispare on everyone's faces who were there.

I could feel myself getting pretty moved and upset again but not for the reasons "they" wanted. Their message was loud and clear. BE VERY SCARED AND NEVER FORGET. All I could think was BS. I don't buy it for a moment.

This is what 9-11 is to the GOP. It is not about remembering the innocent lives lost and the fact that we don't have the full picture, nor a full accounting yet about what really happened on 9-11. It is not about how our nation turned to the dark side on that fateful day, to diminish and perhaps never to return to our Constitution or Bill of Rights ever again. To them 9-11 is a tool to control the masses. And they will use it over and over again, and do so any moment they can, but especially every 9-11 anniversary.

I'm pissed at these monsters who propigate these lies. Why did I put my students through this crap? Why? Most of them know it didn't go down the way the US government says it went down ---the OCT. The students told me so. Wow, from the mouths of babes. I just smiled inside and left it at that.

No, I do not ever talk about any of this crap with my students. Too dangerous politically and too much of a lightning rod and too emotional. I don't have to. They get it already.

From what I see on this thread, the majority of ST-ers, who hate Bush, will believe that he aggrandized his powers. I and the thoughtful minority here believe that he has done nothing unprecedented, nor even as extreme as many of his predecessors.

Griffin wrote a detailed, documented and referenced book that calls out the falsehoods and ommisions of the 9-11 report. Even the Bush appointed chairmen of the 9-11 commission admit that they omitted things based on politics.

" And the largest lie is that IRaq had anything toi do with 9-11."

This is kind of interesting from a european perspective.

I dont remember any information that suggested that Irak was behind 9/11. I would say that most people here didn't believe at any time that Irak was behind 9/11 in any way. The reason for the war in the media was WMD's and that Saddam was bad.

Then after a while (several years after 9/11) you could hear about statistics from the US that showed that 70 % or something believed that Irak was behind 9/11 . I was surprised because I thought everyone knowed that wasn't the case and that nothing at all suggested that it was the case.

I believe the 9/11 Irak connection was retoric and propaganda that was only used in the US and not in the rest of the world.

The trial against Saddam could never have been about 9/11 because there never was anyting suggesting it. It could have been about a lot of either stuff though but the US et all was cleaver enough to start with a trial about a case with no connection to the US et all.

Also try not to threaten. That is very unbecoming. Perhaps I should have mentioned "they" also like to threaten as well as name call. Last time I faced crap like this was in grade school. Come on grow-up.


Edit:

By the way, there is a major difference in supporting those who helped recover, give aid, searched through the rubble of the 9-11 aftermath. I have complete respect and care and empathy for all those who lost their lives to this hideous crime, and for those who helped out afterwards, and who are now losing their lives due to toxic illnesses. This arguement is not about them. My full respect and love goes out to them completely.

This arguement is about who truly pulled off this hideous crime. It wasn't Arabs with boxcutter knives. They were only patsies to the real criminals. It is the way they work, time and time again. Create a simple patsie to have someone to immediatley blame for the crime, even though the evidence screams it was someone else or something much more sinister. That is how you do false-flag operations.

We have a secret internal government within our government and it doesn't matter what administration comes or goes. They have done many aweful, illegal, and hideous crimes and all in our names. There is just too much evidence for this. They have their own agenda and it is full of corruption, greed, control and power. President Eisenhower warned us about the "military industrial complex" and everything he warned us about has come true. Read and study up on the USS Liberty, Operation Northwoods, Gulf of Tonkin, 9-11, the anthrax attacks. These are all false-flag ops for a specific agenda and purpose. And these are just the ones we can easily find loads of information on. How much have they done that we know nothing about? I can't imagine.

If you think that this is all just wacked out conspiracy then you have your head in the sand with your fingers in your ears. There is just too much overwhelming evidence for this. But you will never know if you never want to know, and that is just fine by them. They count on human ignorance. People do talk at times who are in the know, and they lose their lives for it. They have absolutely no care for life. If you think people can't keep secrets then you don't know your history.

Operation Paperclip, Manhatton project, etc., etc. My grand father didn't talk about what he did in WW2 until his 50 year oath of secrecy was up, then he talked all he could about it with us in the mid to late 90's, before he passed away. He was an officer in the Navy stationed in Washington DC. He was in intelligence and decoded Russian (Soviet Union) messages sent during the war.

Our government is very good at keeping things and people compartmentalized. Rarely does anyone know the big picture. But those who do know, know how it all perpetuates. Sometimes they even let the cat out of the bag accidently, just as Bush1 let loose when he was President and often talked about a "New World Order (NWO)." This is absolutely real and they are driving toward it full steam, and they do not care who gets in their way. Life means nothing to them.

Just read the book published by "Popular Mechanics"; but, of course, you won't, or, if you do, you'll reject it because they're in on it too.

I've come to the conclusion that the "Truthers" fall into different sets. One set falls for most such nonsense because of genetics. Another set suffers from BDS and will support this rubbish even though they don't really believe it. Another is simply nuts in most aspects of their lives. There are those that are significantly devoid of any meaning in their lives, and this gives them an anchor of stability. Lastly come the ill educated devoid of any serious critical thinking skills that result in them being sucked into belief in nonsense like this.

I've now read three books on the issue: "Popular Mechanics", "The Looming Tower" and the third I can't remember off hand. Nothing in these books leads me to accept even an iota of the Truther's nonsense.

Russ,

Yes, I'm a science teacher. I have an open mind. I look at all sides. I'm not afraid to have my reality challenged. I also do science research. I do research in meteoritics. I let the evidence lead to discoveries and conclusions. It has to be repeatable and testable.

However, when you have those who would block research in open and "full daylight" then they have something to hide. The same can be said about 9-11. They (the gov) are stonewalling and they don't want anyone to look under any 9-11 rocks, metaphorically speaking.

In science, the worst sin a scientist can commit is to falsify his or her results. The same can be said of any government. The worse sin is to lie and not let the citizens of the world in, too verify what you say is the truth. All must be open to verification and scrutiny in full open public daylight.

Well, here we stand at an impass.

Let 9-11 be investigated in full complete daylight with an international commission. It has not yet been done so. The 9-11 Commission Report was an Ommission Report (a white-wash with a pre-conceived conclusion --- which is another grave sin in science.) What is there to hide? The evidence will prove the OCT right or wrong.

(Hint, the known evidence at this time already falsifies the OCT, so I'm not surprised by their stonewalling. Nor at this point am I surprised at their corruption.)

But I hate their corruption and greed, do you?



Edit:

BadInfluence,

I repeat I was not there. Please read more carefully.




I'm done with this thread. I just hope it makes more people think, and it helps more people crawl out from under a rock and we can work to elect those who will turn our country around, because we are headed off the cliff in a serious way. And once we completely go off the cliff there is no going back. I do not want 4 more years of McBush or McSame. I don't really want a day more. Nov. 4th will tell. I'm very pessimistic though. They have to cheat to win, and I believe they will do it again.

I want my country back. I want the Constitution and Bill of Rights fully restored. I blame anyone who has voted for this corrupt Neocon administration for the woes we are facing and have been facing for nearly 8 years now. Can you imagine? It only took 8 years to get the US to be like the 1930's in Nazi Germany.

The blame falls completely on you.

WesChrist,

Apparently I can't shut-up. But this will be my last post on this. Promise.

I agree with you, but don't forget about PNAC. They clearly said, for it to go the way they wanted it to go and had planned for, when they got into power they needed "A New Pearl Harbor."

And we know 9-11 was their New Pearl Harbor. They had all the plans already written for many years prior. How did they come out with the Patriot Act so damn fast, after 9-11? It was already written and ready to go.

9-11 gave them everything they ever wanted and needed in soooo many ways. They could not leave this to chance. Yes, they needed patsies and they put them on board the jets to kill them, but it had to go down like clock work on their watch. Nothing was left to chance. It only had to be perceived that way, and that they (Al CIA-duh terrorists) got way "lucky." And don't forget all the military games that were orchestrated and occured on that very day, 9-11-01. What a better cover could there be?

Regardless of whether the "facts" are 100% true and correct...

I don't think we need to be political analysis experts or rocket scientists to figure out that the Bush/Chaney administration has run rampant over the American people since getting into office.

I've seen a photo of Bush and Bin Laden as youth.
Bush Sr had the idea of getting Saddam since he became prez, little Bush just completed the task with Bin Laden's help
Chaney was on the board of Halliburton and I believe they made plenty of money because of all the contracts they won.
Bush is a complete idiot.
Chaney shot his best friend in the face.
We went to war and years later the price of oil is what... Is it double what it was?

And notice how things are simmering down. The "liberal media" (because that's what the right wing calls it) is not talking about all the fighting in Iraq any more, and the new "enemy" is Iran. How many times are we going to relive 1984? How often do you have to change the subject before everyone figures out you're stealing their wallets.... from right in front of them?

Call me what you want. I see what I see (limited as that may be). You see what you see (you're knowledge far outweighs mine because you are all knowing) Tell me you feel better about the country.

I feel betrayed, let down, and a bit angry about the last 8 years. I keep thinking that the American public will do something, but the laws written by the people in power make it impossible to do anything. It seems as though once someone is elected president they can do anything with no worries of ever having to suffer the consequences. And the American public will anxiously await the next so called "president of change", since they all talk about change before they get elected, but completely forget all about it once in office.

This interview just took place with David Ray Griffin.

I would like to leave this discussion with Dr. Griffin's words. Excellent interview. Get to the interview and listen. Ray is very clear and concise. Man, now I have more books to read . . .

http://www.blackopradio.com/black391a.ram

Many other countries are involved with the 9-11 truth movement and getting to the bottom of this: Italy, Japan, and Russia to name a few. I didn't realize this before. Who knows? Maybe we will get to the bottom of all of this and one day know the full truth.

I hope.

Here is the film made in Italy but done in English that has been shown in Russia on primetime TV on 9-12 or 9-13-08. Approximately 20 million in Russia have seen it. As I said above in the other post, 9-11 truth is going global. Why can't this be shown in the US on primetime? What's there to hide? Is this not America? Do we not have freedom of speech? Maybe we don't anymore.

This is a 9-11 Truth film I had never seen before, and it has the latest information. I learned many new facts I didn't know.

Twice last year I checked my cell reception while flying. The first while flying into Honolulu and the second while flying into Vancouver. I had reception both times.

The planes involved in 9-11 did not stay at a cruising altitude. They dropped to lower altitudes fairly quickly.

While I have never made a call during a flight I have heard several people around me making calls on cell phones several minutes before landing.

Saying that it is impossible to make a cell call from a plane is pure BS. I have also made calls from the summit of 14k peaks. What is the difference in making a call from 14k on a plane and 14 k on a mountain?

Russ, Chaz, et al;
How can you watch any of the excellent links that Klimmer has posted and not realize the width and depth of the lies your government has foisted upon you?

Oh that's right you won't listen or read anything the conflicts with the fairy tail you cling to.

You and your ilk are the true anti-patriots in our midst.

Popular Mechanics? Please spare me the ludicrous excuse for competency. There is NO ONE on the staff of PM that has anywhere near the expertise and crediblity of the experts in those links. Ask yourself who owns Popular Mechanics, then find out how utterly discredited that report has been.
I can only imagine that you all were hiding in your basements with two years of stock piled food and water and duct taped windows during the Y2K frenzy.
