Corporate Media Embraces 9/11 Blowback Theory

Now that Ron Paul has reaffirmed the neocon fantasy
version of nine eleven events, stating during the
so-called debate earlier this week that we were
attacked by “al-Qaeda” and Osama bin Laden, when in
fact there is no evidence to validate this fairy tale,
the “liberal” corporate media, as represented by CNN’s
Roland S. Martin, has decided to give the “blowback”
theory legs.
“Granted, Americans were severely damaged by the
hijacking of U.S. planes, and it has resulted in a
worldwide fight against terror,” writes Martin. “Was
it proper for the United States to respond to the
attack? Of course! But should we, as a matter of
policy, and moral decency, learn to think and
comprehend that our actions in one part of the world
could very well come back to hurt us, or, as Paul
would say, blow back in our face? Absolutely. His real
problem wasn’t his analysis, but how it came out of
his mouth.”
In fact, the problem was indeed “his analysis,” as it
accepts as conclusive the mendacious fairy tale
contrived by the neocons. From the obvious demolition
of Building Seven, not mentioned in the official
“faith-based” 9-11 Omission Report, to the plethora of
scientific evidence indicating it was impossible for
jets alone to bring down the WTC buildings, and beyond
to the glossed over testimony of Norman Mineta
implicating Dick Cheney and the highly unlikely NORAD
and National Reconnaissance Office exercises and war
games coinciding with the events, it should be
apparent to a grade school kid there is something
rotten with the official version.
And yet both Ron Paul and Roland S. Martin accept it
as fact.
Both Paul and Martin tell us it was “proper for the
United States to respond to the attack,” even though
the government offered no compelling evidence of who
might be the culprit. In a matter of a couple hours
after the attack, Senator Orrin Hatch told the media,
after a briefing “by the highest levels of the FBI and
of the intelligence community … that this looks like
the signature of Osama bin Laden, and that he may be
the one behind this.” General Wesley Clark, former
Supreme Commander of NATO and mad bomber of Serbia,
told the media: “Only one group has this kind of
ability and that is Osama bin Laden’s.” Meanwhile, an
aide to Donald Rumsfeld wrote a now infamous note,
declaring: “Judge whether good enough hit S.H. [Saddam
Hussein] at same time. Not only UBL [Osama bin
Laden].… Need to move swiftly.… Go massive. Sweep it
all up. Things related and not.” Bush supposedly
scribbled in his diary, “The Pearl Harbor of the 21st
century took place today.… We think it’s Osama bin
Laden.” It is hardly coincidental this is the same
“Pearl Harbor” event, required to unleash war in the
name of Pax Americana, mentioned prior to nine eleven
by the PNAC boys, including William Kristol, John
Bolton, Elliott Abrams, Dick Cheney, Frank Gaffney,
Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and other key
neocons.
On September 23, 2001, Colin Powell declared the
neocons would “put before the world, the American
people, a persuasive case that … it is al-Qaida, led
by Osama bin Laden, who has been responsible” for the
attacks. “He said the evidence will embrace new
information gathered by law enforcement and
intelligence agents on the attacks, as well as
material used in indictments against bin Laden in the
bombing of U.S. embassies in east Africa in 1998. It
may also cite leads developed in the investigation of
the bombing of the destroyer Cole in Yemen last
October,” the Seattle Post Intelligencer reported at
the time.
Of course, this so-called “evidence” was not shared
with “the American people,” as Powell promised. “Since
the first demands for ‘evidence,’ the U.S. government
has busied itself preparing a laundry list of suitable
accusations and diplomatically correct labels to hurl
at bin Laden and his terrorist cells. The mysterious
‘proof’ of his guilt has been shared, we’re told with
Allied leaders in Europe, as well as with various
Pakistani and Afghan (rebel) authorities. NATO
Secretary General Lord Robertson later characterized a
secret U.S. briefing as offering ‘clear and compelling
evidence,’ while Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien
announced he was ‘quite satisfied’ the information
‘proves’ bin Laden’s involvement,” Time Magazine
reported on October 30, 2001. “To date, very little
evidence has been made public, for obvious security
reasons, so any discussion has been necessarily
relegated to the realm of speculation.” Moreover, the
“evidence” is not “of the type that would stand up in
an American court of law.”
Indeed, the “realm of speculation” is the only
“evidence” we have, and it was offered by a coterie of
neocons who have since demonstrated their skill at
manufacturing lies and cobbling together fantastic
fabrications in order to invade and occupy Iraq,
killing nearly a million human beings in the process.
It is, to say the least, remarkable Ron Paul would
believe such people.
It is also remarkable the so-called truth and patriot
movements have not bothered to call Ron Paul out on
any of this. It would seem they are so desperate for a
presidential candidate, one who plays footsy with the
likes of the nine eleven criminal Rudy Giuliani, they
have swept aside the glaring incongruities of the
“blowback” theory.
But then, I suppose, elections do funny things to the
best of us, including the spectacle of having good
people once again allow themselves to be so easily
played for fools by our rulers.
