Here are just a few of the reasons I believe 9/11 was an inside job, primarily masterminded by Dick Cheney with the complicity of George W. Bush. I have ordered them with most important first. This is just a summary. I explore these points in detail later with backup.
No steel frame buildings had ever before in history collapsed either from fires or planes hitting them. They are designed to withstand those hazards. On 9/11 three of them fell, and fell perfectly straight down. Why do you think demolition experts spend weeks planting charges and timing the explosions with millisecond precision? To make sure the buildings implode and fall straight down, just as the three WTC towers did. That perfection does not happen by accident. Further, the timing of the falls are indicative of linear controlled demolitions, not accelerating natural gravitational collapse. An engineering failure of this magnitude would normally demand an exhaustive study as to the mechanism of failure to ensure it never happened again, but all the evidence was quickly whisked away and melted down thus ensuring the cause was never discovered.
The 1/3 sized wheels, turbofan and diffuser found at the Pentagon crash are not part of a 757, but of a much smaller military aircraft the A-3 drone. Two civilian defense contractor employees — told to remain silent — say other workers quietly retro-fitted missile and remote control systems onto A-3 jets at Colorado public airport prior to September 11. Bush claims a Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon then vaporised, and that is why there was no wreckage, but that is utterly impossible. The titanium used in the 12 tons of engines does not even melt at temperatures reached by mixing jet fuel and pure oxygen much less vaporise. Think about it. Titanium was chosen for the engines because it would not even weaken when subjected to an optimum mixture of jet fuel and air for hours on end during ordinary flight. Further, there were not even broken windows where the engines purportedly hit the Pentagon. And to top it off, photos show no sign of a fuel fire like the ones hitting the two towers. So, according to Bush, not only did the most of the plane vanish, a mysterious shrinking ray made the wheels and turbofans shrink to 1/3 the normal diameter and change into a type used by A-3 military drones. Give me a break! How gullible do you think I am Mr. Bush? Bush is peddling an utterly preposterous lie. It amazing he got away with it so long. See the video Loose Change, part 1 and Loose Change, part 2. So it was an A-3 drone that hit the Pentagon. This is so patently obvious from examining the wreckage that Bush must have know that all along, but decided to lie.
The hole in the side of the Pentagon is far too small for Boeing 757 flight 77 to pass through. The wingspan is 124 feet with a fuselage diameter of 13 feet. It is 44 feet from ground to the top of the tail. There was almost no debris, no bodies, no blood, no body parts, no baggage, no wreckage typical of a 757 plane crash, and of course no sheared off wings. Further there was no fire or smoke damage similar to the other two crashes. There should have been. The plane had a similar load of fuel. In contrast, after the shuttle disaster, it was possible to find pieces of the seven astronauts' bodies spread over hundreds of square miles. Some of the rubble appears to belong to a small Global Hawk drone (44 feet long by 15 feet high) including the tiny engine, including a tiny turbofan engine. The Pentagon blatantly lied in its story published by the Washington Post, saying the hole in the Pentagon was five stories high and 200 feet wide. Photos show it is no bigger than 18 feet in diameter. To fit in that tiny hole the wings had to have been sheared off. Where are the wings? Further the Pentagon crash did not show up seismically, because the object that hit was too light. Recall your high school physics. We know object that hit the Pentagon was travelling at 400 mph.
mass = energy / velocity2
The low energy of the hit means the object had to have considerably lower mass than a 757. The other two other hits, including another 757, registered seismically. Whatever hit the Pentagon was not nearly heavy enough to be a 757 as the Bush conspiracy theory claims. This is so patently obvious, Bush must have know that all along, but decided to lie.
See David Griffin's on-line lecture. This will painlessly give you a brief outline of some of the holes in Bush's story. Griffin has written two books on 9/11.
Mike Ruppert's book, Crossing the Rubicon. This book explains exactly how Cheney pulled this off, and provides 700 pages of backup for this admittedly wild-sounding accusation.
There were no Arabs aboard flight 77 as claimed by Bush. Without Arabs, you have no hijackers. Without a highjack, why would the three American pilots all suicide unless Bush had threatened their families? The only other explanation is the planes were flown by wire. In other words, either way, 9/11 was an inside job. The key to Bush's conspiracy theory, the Arab highjacking, is a total fabrication. His whole lie comes unravelled just from the passenger and autopsy lists alone.
Stanley Hilton, Bob Dole's advisor and lead attorney in the 9/11 victims case says he has both documentary evidence and sworn testimony that Cheny and Bush ordered the 9/11 attack.
All of Bush's cabinet met with Mahmoud, the bankroller of 9/11, in the week prior to 9/11.
No planes scrambled to intercept the hijackers. This is standard procedure. Normally a plane would be in the air within four minutes. Just prior to 9/11 Cheney inserted himself in the highjack command loop. He is the one who ordered them to stand down.
There were all manner of war games in progress on 9/11 some simulating a 9/11 style attack. This deflected most of the airforce out west. It further confused air traffic controllers who had to deal with insertions (fake planes for the war games on their radars). No body was really sure if the attacks were real or part of the game. No cave-dwelling terrorists could have arranged so convenient a distraction. The Pentagon publicly admitted this many times, including when Representative Cynthia McKinney grilled Donald Rumsfeld on C-Span 2005-03-24. transcript.
While every one else was in lockdown on 9/11, Bush got the FBI to arrange private jets to collect the bin Laden family and take them safely out of the USA without interrogation. At that point airspace had been reopened to commercial flights but not private flights.
Kevin R. Ryan, Site Manager, Environmental Health Laboratories, for Underwriter Labs, wrote that the fires in the World Trade buildings were not nearly hot enough to cause the UL-rated steel to fail.
CNN's reporter, Jamie McIntyre, on the scene announced that no plane hit the Pentagon.
Rudy Giuliani pre-announced the hit on the Pentagon. How did he know it would happen?
Rudy Giuliani announced a hit on the Sears tower. This part of the conspiracy was foiled, but apparently nobody told him. He announced it, as it was planned.
Rudy Guiliani gave a series of extremely polished speeches on 9/11. How did he find time to rehearse?
All three World Trade Towers fell faster over the first half of the collapse than physics allows by free fall. That meant they had to have an assist, e.g. an explosive push from pre-planted demolition charges, not just gravity pulling them down. The maximum collapse for free fall is computed by
distance = ½ g t²
where g is the acceleration due to gravity 32 feet per second per second, and t is time in seconds. In other words, free fall collapse should start out slowly and accelerate faster and faster for the big finale.
Why did the terrorists hit the west wing of the Pentagon? That required an extra complex flight manoeuvre. The west wing was being renovated. There were no military people there. Why wouldn’t terrorists try to kill the top brass in the east wing?
David Ray Griffin's objection from The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions About the Bush Administration and 9/11.
President Bush has also been criticized for behaving somewhat bizarrely on 9/11.
As he and the Secret Service got word that a second plane had crashed into the World Trade Center and that three planes had been hijacked, there could have been no possible doubt in their mind that the United States was under terrorist attack . . . The most horrendous attack the United States had ever suffered. And they would have had to assume that one or more of them were heading toward President Bush himself. and so upon learning about this, the secret service surely would have whisked him away immediately. In fact, one secret service agent on the scene said, "We're out of here." but obviously he got overruled because president Bush stayed there. After Andrew Card reported the second crash on the World Trade Center, the president just nodded as if he understood and said, "we're going to go ahead with the reading lesson." and he sat there another 15 minutes listening to the children read a story about a pet goat. This was a photo op and when it was over he lingered around talking to the children and talking to the teacher.
Bill Sammon, of the Washington Times, wrote a very pro-Bush book, yet he comments how casual and relaxed the president was given the fact he'd just learned the country was under attack. He said Bush took his own sweet time and in fact called him "Our Dawdler in Chief." And then the president went on national TV, going forward with an interview that had been planned and announced in advance . . . then they took their regularly scheduled motorcade back to the airport. In other words, [Bush and the Secret Service] showed no fear whatsoever that they would be targeted for attack, which strongly suggests they knew how many aircraft were being hijacked and what their targets were.
Couldn't it have been that he was trying to project calm in the eye of the storm, that this was Bush projecting Churchillian resolve in the face of calamity?
People who want to believe such things can, of course, imagine such scenarios. But the president in a situation like that does not make the decisions; the Secret Service team makes the decisions. And the guys in the Secret Service are trained to be ready for a catastrophe like this where they make snap decisions and whisk the president to safety immediately. They would have had an escape route planned; they would have had contingencies planned — they always do. It is at least not very plausible to think they would have remained there and endangered the lives of all the children and teachers at that school in order to exude that Churchillian confidence.
Consider that the event was publicly scheduled and presumably known to any terrorists. A school is not a very secure location. Bush was recklessly endangering the lives of the children he was with unless of course he knew there was no danger because this was an inside job.
Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz were busy discussing the Iraq war in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. Why were they so unconcerned about 9/11 unless it were an inside job?
“I expected to go back to a round of meetings [on 2001-09-12], examining what the next attacks could be, what our vulnerabilities were, what we could do about them in the short term. Instead, I walked into a series of discussions about Iraq. At first I was incredulous that we were talking about something other than getting al Qaeda. Then I realised with an almost sharp physical pain that Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz were trying to take advantage of this national tragedy to promote their agenda about Iraq. Since the beginning of the administration, indeed well before, they had been pressing for a war with Iraq. My friends in the Pentagon had been telling me that the word was we would be invading Iraq sometimes in 2002.”
~ Richard A. Clarke, White House Counter Terrorism Chief, Against All Enemies
The alleged hijackers on their eve of a supposed religiously-motivated suicide attack went to a strip bar, drank alcohol and ate pork, all in public. They left copies of the Qu'ran behind presumably to help witnesses remember them. Devout Muslims are insanely fanatical about avoiding pork. They would sooner eat feces. In Saudi Arabia, drinking alcohol is considered so shameful it could get you killed. That is not plausible behaviour for religious fanatics about to face judgement day. bin Laden is a Puritanical religious fanatic.
Seismic evidence shows the two main world trade towers were taken down by demolition.
A FOX reporter reported the plane that hit South Tower II of the World Trade Center had a blue logo. UA Flight 175 would have had a black and red United logo. The US airforce uses a white star on a blue circle.
Bush at first tried to get noted war criminal Henry Kissinger to handle the 9/11 commission whitewash.
Put options (short selling) for American Airlines and United Airlines were massively above normal just prior to 9/11. Investors made a killing off foreknowledge of 9/11. Cheney claims he investigated these investors but claims no wrongdoing and he refused to say who profited from the carnage or to explain why he thought that. Some of the investors would have been people jumping on a bandwagon, not knowing what was afoot, just presuming insiders must know. But at the core were people who knew the day of the attack. How did they know?
Bush at first refused to testify at the 9/11 commission, and then agreed only reluctantly under the condition he and Cheney always appear together so could keep their stories straight.
As if they had prior knowledge, within four minutes after the Pentagon crash, FBI agents quickly confiscated:
video tape from a gas station security camera aimed directly at the exact point of impact while recording the size of the plane and/or missile.
security camera video film from a nearby Sheraton hotel.
film from a Virginia Transportation Department freeway overpass camera.
They have never released these tapes, nor any of the on-grounds security camera tapes. What's the big secret?
Rumsfeld accidentally told the truth:
“Here we're talking about plastic knives, and using an American Airlines flight filled with our citizens, and the missile to damage this building, and similar (inaudible) that damaged the World Trade Center.”
~ Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of War, 2001-10-12 Parade Magazine interview.
Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of tower 7 confesses on tape he had the building demolished to prevent the spread of fire. This building was not hit by any planes. Larry Silverstein look out long term leases on all the WTC numbered buildings three months before 9/11. He insured them to the max. He not the building's owners was the beneficiary. He was able to get double the usual payout by arguing the attacks were sufficiently separated in time to count as two separate attacks.
Marvin P. Bush, the president’s younger brother, was a principal in a company called Securacom that provided security for the World Trade Center, United Airlines, and Dulles International Airport. Bush's company had an ongoing contract to handle security at the World Trade Center up to the day the buildings fell down.
The following evidence is not available to the public. Either it does not exist, somebody destroyed it, or Bush is withholding it. In all three cases Bush is deceiving the public.
Airport lobby video showing alleged hijackers on the targeted flights.
Evidence tying bin Laden to the crime. All we have is Bush's say so. One day he claimed he had no idea the attack was coming, and the next he was 100% sure who did it.
Recordings of air traffic controller communications with the flights. These were shredded and thrown into five different garbage cans.
Remains of any of the targeted planes.
Remains of the Twin Towers and Building 7.
Blueprints of the Twin Towers and Building 7.
Black boxes from any of the targeted planes.
Photographs documenting the crime scenes before they were disturbed.
Mike Delbert Vreeland tried to warn the Canadian authorities of the coming 9/11 attacks. He was incarcerated, so his warnings were ignored. However, he was correct about the targets and the date of the attack.
Two days after 9/11, Michael Powell, (Colin Powell's son) chair of the FCC, moved to eliminate the few remaining restraints on media concentration. In 1983, 50 corporations controlled the majority of all news media in the United States. Today only six do: Time Warner, Disney, archconservative Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. (Fox’s parent company), Bertelsmann, Viacom and General Electric Co. It was as though Powell has this all ready to go, and waited for the right moment to spring it, behind a smokescreen. His behaviour implies he knew 9/11 was coming. The technique is similar to one favoured by Canadian politicians to pass unpopular legislation on Christmas eve when no one is looking.
Cheney and Ashcroft claim they drafted the 600-page Patriot Act in less than a week. It is a very complicated document. It even included unrelated pork for pharmaceutical companies like Merck, to get them of the hook for legal liability for contaminated vaccines, past, present and future. I can't believe they could have put this intricate, deceptively worded document together in only a week. They must have had it ready before hand waiting for the right moment to spring it, behind a smokescreen. Legislators passed it in a panic without even reading it first. It annulled the Bill of Rights. This behaviour implies Cheney and Ashcroft knew 9/11 was coming. The technique is similar to one favoured by Canadian politicians to pass unpopular legislation on Christmas eve when no one is looking.
Carmen bin Ladin (she spells her name differently), bin Laden's estranged sister in law, says in her book Inside the Kingdom: My Life in Saudi Arabia that the bin Laden family all believe Osama had nothing to do with 9/11.
Bush used 9/11 as a pretext to invade Afghanistan, even though Saudis ostensibly committed the deed. He then installed ex-Unocal men to run the country. They built a pipeline for Unocal and raised trillions by restarting the opium trade.
Bush used 9/11 as a pretext to invade Iraq even though he later admitted the two had no connection. "We have no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the September 11th attacks."
~ George W. Bush, 2003-09-17.
Bush used 9/11 as a pretext for the Patriot Act to nullify important constitutional rights such as habeas corpus, freedom from cruel and unusual punishment, freedom of speech and freedom of assembly.
In 1976 the US Army prepared a plan to take down the two World Trade Towers using commercial airliners, using plastic box cutters to get through security, as part of its "antiterrorism" activities. In 1976, Rumsfeld was Secretary of State, Bush 41 was CIA Director, Nelson Rockfeller was Vice President, Ford was president, Cheney was chief of staff, almost the same crew as was in charge for 9/11.
The elaborate Patriot Act was allegedly written in a few days after 9/11, but Cheney and Ashcroft somehow found time to insert some irrelevant pork to get Merck off the hook for contaminating vaccines with mercury, freeing it from liability for the autism it allegedly caused. They must have had the act ready prior to 9/11. They cleverly panicked the house and senate into passing it without even taking time to read it.
No high-rise buildings have collapsed before or since from fire elsewhere, yet three supposedly did on 2001-09-11 in New York City. Whomever chose those two buildings to hit either did a detailed engineering study to discover their vulnerability to collapse by fire, or took the buildings down with demolition. I have trouble imagining cave dwellers pulling either of those two feats off. Blind luck would be plausible if it were not for the fact Bush 41 had a detailed plan in place to take them out formulated in 1976 using airliners and boxcutters. Bush had the rubble quickly shipped to China to be melted, even though it is illegal to destroy rubble from an engineering failure or a crime scene. You have to investigate precisely what caused the failures so that you can build safer buildings in future.
