There are conspiracy theories all over the net. They are the object of
ridicule by the media and are denied by the government. Yet the government
of the US is promoting a theory of the crime holding members of Al Qaeda
conspired in the attacks on 9/11. That is also a conspiracy theory.
The question for us to decide is the credibility of any of the conspiracy
theories including that of the government. We could let the media decide for
us. I, myself, have no interest in letting journalism majors make such
decisions for me.
The government's theory of the crime is a man sitting in a cave in
Afghanistan was behind it all. He managed to accomplish it without leaving
evidence traceable to him. We are asked to believe the dozens of warnings
from US, European and Arab intelligence agencies were simply ignored without
being told why. We are asked to believe, with all the warnings ignored,
Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda were identified by this same government
barely six hours after the attack.
One clear reason so many warnings would be ignored is if there were a
greater number of more credible warnings. A conspiratorial reason is the US
wanted an excuse for its actions such as the war on Afghanistan and the
proposed war on Iraq. Another conspiratorial reason is someone else was
behind it.
The way to decide among conspiracies, including government conspiracies, is
to evaluate the facts for yourself. The government has said it cannot reveal
everything to the public. So be it. We can only decide for ourselves based
upon what we have been told and to some extent what we have not been told.
- Flying planes into buildings as a terrorist weapon has been a topic of
casual conversation among government workers in Washington, DC since the
1970s. As I was there and was part of those discussions I obviously do not
buy the "no one could have foreseen" claim from all over the official
government. Not only was it foreseen it was a common discussion topic.
- There is no defense but to shoot them down if there is time.
They will fall on someone.
- A private plane flew into the White House in 1992. It could have
been loaded with explosives.
- A commercial airliner leaving Ronald Reagan National Airport in
Virginia can nose over into the White House, Congress, or the Pentagon
within seconds of leaving the ground.
- That there will be a next attack using the same means is
unavoidable.
- It had absolutely nothing to do with hating US democracy or freedom.
- Bush had to blame it on something other than the obvious but we
are not required to believe it or pretend it is true nor to accept even he
or anyone else in the government believes it is true. There is no reason to
treat the idea like Santa Claus pretending it is true for some greater good.
There is no greater good than the truth.
- The US has been meddling in the Mideast since the 1930s creating
and preserving dictatorships and overthrowing those it considered
unfriendly. Much of the "backwardness" of the Mideast has been directly due
to this meddling including suppressing democratic movements. Both Saddam
Hussein and Osama bin Laden have been on the CIA payroll.
- Professional jewish organizations are frightened of nothing more
than Israel being addressed as one of the reasons. The US has been the
primary and at times the only supporter of Israel. Israel is but one of many
US intrusions in the region.
- Plane hijacking was started by Castro Cubans and later adopted
by Palestinians fighting Israel. Israel's airline has been a primary target
for hijackings. Where does Israel not fit in this?
- We are not involved in any clash of civilizations nor of religions.
- Were that a legitimate premise there would be greater conflicts
with China and India. We were attacked by a group of civilians and in return
attacked a nation. We chose to consider it a military act rather than a
criminal act.
- Afghanistan stood for justice when it said it would need to see
the evidence before turning over Osama bin Laden. The US refused to provide
its evidence. Governments which have seen the evidence politely say it is
far from compelling. "Far from compelling" has a legal meaning. It means it
is not enough for a conviction.
- The US deliberately chose the route of war rather than of law.
- The war was planned before 9/11.
- The US still has no idea as to the names of at least nine of the
hijackers.
- Nine of the people identified by the US have been found alive or
are known to have died years ago.
- The US uses the pictures of these people so it is not a
confusion of names.
- Not one hijacker's name is on any of the passenger manifests
even though they were required to show photo IDs to board. Therefore they
were not on board or had false IDs.
- There have been no arrests for supplying those false IDs.
- There has been no identification of which passenger names were
the false names.
- There has not even been a suggestion there were any false names
on the passenger lists and the US counts all the names as among the victims.
- The names released on the flight manifests are fewer than the
number of people reported on the flights.
- Not one identification, not one body part, not one skull for
dental records, of even one of the hijackers has been found at any of the
four crash sites yet we are told the passport of one of them survived a WTC
collision.
- We, the public, still have no evidence as to who was behind it. Even the
FBI claims it has no evidence against Osama bin Laden or Al Qaeda.
- What has been released is far from compelling. No one who speaks
Arabic agrees with the US translations of the bin Laden videotapes including
translators used by Germany. It is not surprising Arabs do not accept the US
translation as they do not say what the US claims. They are not a smoking
gun.
- In April 2002, months after the tapes were available the
Director of the FBI gave a speech saying that nothing discovered in the US
or in all of Afghanistan connected 9/11 to Al Qaeda or bin Laden.
- In that same speech he said the hijackers did not even have
laptops yet an FBI whistle-blower said an application to get a search
warrant for one of their laptops was sabotaged by FBI Headquarters.
- In May 2002 a whistle-blower in an FBI field office swore that
FBI headquarters had prevented getting a subpoena to search one of their
laptops. The FBI had not denied that allegation. (Lying in one, lying in
all?)
- The reported behavior of those alleged to have been the
hijackers was not Islamic but as though they wanted to be identified. So many
obvious clues were left around it has all the appearances of someone framing
them.
- The US started planning the attack on Afghanistan three months
before 9/11. It was kind of Al Qaeda to provide an excuse.
- There is zero evidence of any involvement of Iraq yet the US
intends to attack. It may take another excuse.
- The government has admitted it has absolutely no evidence
implicating bin Laden or Al Qaeda. They are clearly looking in the wrong
place. They have a false theory of the crime. They are investigating the
wrong conspiracy.
- None of the real names of the hijackers appear on any of
the passenger lists. None of the forged names from the required
picture IDs appears on the passenger lists.
- None of the released passenger lists adds up to the number of
passengers claimed to have been on the planes.
- Israel is not above masterminding this attack or knowing of it coming
and not telling us.
- Israel has attacked US assets with bombs and attempted to blame
it on Arabs. Search google on the Lavon Affair.
- In the 1960s Israel stole 200 pounds of weapons grade Uranium
from the US.
- Israel has attacked US ships with its military. Read about the USS Liberty.
- Israel knew in advance about the truck bombing of the US Marine
barracks in Beirut and decided not to warn us. The resulted in the
unnecessary death of 241 Marines nearly 10% of 9/11 total and more than at
the Pentagon.
- An Israeli company received an Instant Message warning of the
attack two hours before it occurred which is before the planes had left the
ground. The sender has not been investigated.
- Five Israelis were arrested on 9/11 in New York City. They were
in the US illegally. They were cheering the hits on the World Trade Center.
They were eventually deported along with 200 other
Israeli spies.
- Their employer and owner of the company fled to Israel. He is on
the US's wanted list of terror suspects in 9/11. Israel refuses to turn him
over or even make him available for questioning.
- In late September six Israelis were stopped in Kansas with valid
passports and maps of US nuclear power installations. Ashcroft was reported
furious they were not held for questioning. They were never found. They
presumably escaped to Canada.
- One month after 9/11 two Israelis in Mexico illegally were
arrested in the Mexican Congressional building. They were carrying ten
sticks of dynamite, nine grenades and two guns. They were arrested and
deported. Anyone else would have been in prison for years.
- In the following months over 120
Israelis illegally in the US were arrested and deported. They were
spying on military and law enforcement facilities and personnel. Their
training was in espionage and demolition.
- In May 2002, two Israelis illegally in the US were arrested in
Washington State across for a military base driving an empty rental truck.
There were traces of explosives in the truck. Shortly afterwards the US
released a warning of explosives in apartment buildings and deported the
Israelis.
- There is only one Israeli citizen on the 9/11 victim list. They
were clearly very lucky.
- Israel has spied on the US since it came into existence and
Zionists spied before Israel was created by the UN. Jonathan Pollard's
spying is one of the most damaging in US history.
- There were dozens of reports of Israeli spies prior to 9/11
which were ignored.
- Israel set up Libya to induce the US under Reagan to attack it.
Israel has a vested interest in having the US attack its enemies.
- The anthrax attack was of domestic origin and designed to look
like Arabs were involved. No more than a dozen Americans could have done it.
The FBI cannot determine which of them did do it. The FBI continues to
harass one man who does not have the ability to do it.
- Israel's first response to the attack was that it was a good
thing while Arafat condemned it immediately.
- There is more indication of Israeli involvement than of Al
Qaeda regardless of who was behind it.
- The government said there are no more than 200 members of Al Qaeda
before the US attack on Afghanistan.
- Since then about a dozen have been killed and several dozen
arrested and held in Cuba as a result of the Afghan war. This leaves
something between 100 and 150 still free.
- The August, 2002 number of people rotting in prison for the rest
of their lives in Cuba is five hundred. Clearly there is something wrong
with the government's numbers.
- This works out to the government spending about one billion
dollars per al Qaeda member.
- Maybe we could offer them $100 million to retire and save a
lot of money.
- This also works out to about 100 government employees per al
Qaeda member.
- Maybe we could hire bounty hunters instead?
We, the people, have no reason to believe Osama bin Laden is behind it but
rather he was an excuse to execute a planned war against Afghanistan. He was
not found. We are being encouraged to forget about him. There is no evidence
of Iraq being involved. The US is headed for a war with Iraq without cause
or justification.
We, the people, are expected to trust the government regarding its
conspiracy theory of the crime rather than consider alternative conspiracy
theories of the crime.
