  “Beware of the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry, [who] infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How will I know? For this I have done. And I am Julius Caesar.”
  
  I come from a long line of people who fought to maintain our basic human rights, beginning with a great grandfather who fought as one of Washington's generals at Princeton, Germantown, and Brandywine. Over 30 grandfathers and uncles fought in the Civil War to free this country of slavery. My grandfather and uncles fought fiercely in WWII. My great grandmother was ultimately the truest form of American, for she was a Native American. I take great pride in my family's undying loyalty to this country, but refuse to confuse loyalty to country as being blind to a corrupt government ruled by greed and murderous intent.
  
  Anyone who fails to demand an accounting on any and all government actions, who fails to monitor its performance is no true patriot. Love your country, guard your liberties like a jealous lover, and question your leaders if you want to enjoy the United States as it was designed to be.

  Well said. Folks should study Operation Northwoods to see what our military and CIA and leaders are really thinking. Only Kennedy stopped the false flag crime. And that is all declassified information. Proof of a plan to bomb US cities and blame Cuba.

The simple thought that 9/11 could have been an inside job is more scary than anything in this world. It is an answer we will probably never know and I sure hope we never do. Because if it were so, America would go into chaos. There would be no more respect for government or the law if they could do this to their own people.

  Really Mummy? In the 1950's and 1960's the U.S. Government was testing Agent Orange on people living in Saint Louis, Missouri as well as other places. Pearl Harbor was deliberate so we would get into the war and out of a depression. My Grandfather was there and he said most of the ships and all of the aircraft carriers left the day before the attacks. There is also plenty of evidence that comes from top ranking officials that have similar testimonies.

I completely agree with that. The rich only care about getting richer and they know they have enough money to shut others that find out up, or take care of them. And what is worst 10 people dying or 20 people dying to go in and save the 10. It is a moral dilemma. They air on television different investigations some saying it was the planes and others saying there were bombs and a lot of other questionable things about the way the buildings fell down. One even said there were explosions before the planes hit. It would be nice if we had a upstanding independent body look into it and decide once and for all what happened.

Yes, well said. We did actually bring the Taliban into the US in 1997 to Texas as reported by the BBC. However, I don't know much about bringing the terrorists, Al Qaida, into the US. Please clarify.

Also, the fact that the Taliban refused the pipeline to Halliburton investments in the Caspian Sea actually did give Dick Cheney motive for 911, and he had knowledge of the event as well. I believe it was more than a coincidence that in 2000, PNAC, a neocon group with Cheney as a member, reported the need for a "new Pearl Harbor", in order to speed the US into the middle east. Again, I view this as knowledge not as simple wish. Indeed, Operation Northwoods revealed the capability of US leaders to think of doing false flag terrorism against the people of the United States. This was even declassified information and JFK stopped it or it would have happened:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods

It is sobering to think that a similar game plan that made up the plan of Northwoods was actually implimented on 911. There are people who need to be prosecuted but likely will never be prosecuted.

Was 9/11 an inside job? I personally don't believe it was. These are serious accusations that are being bandied about here, and I don't think it's at all healthy for a nation to be divided about something as serious as this. How many of you who support the conspiracy theories actually lost a family member or a loved one on that awful day? Why are you so keen to blame your own people for this atrocity? I'm not an American, I'm British, so to be fair, I don't know a great deal about the politics of your country. However, I'm a human being of average intelligence, with a healthy interest in world affairs.
None of us agree with (or trust) politicians, but as we live in democratic societies, we are ultimately responsible for who gets voted in. If I were an American, my question would be more on the lines of 'what have we done to piss someone off so badly that they want to break our country and kill thousands of innocent people?' No-one would go to such extreme lengths without having what they would consider a good cause. I for one would love to know WHY, as well as who. George Bush might have been a trigger-happy war-monger, but I don't for one minute believe that he would commit genocide, which is what you are accusing him of.
The Iraq war was already in the pipeline long before 9/11. Your president, along with his puppet, our prime minister, fed us a load of BS about WMD. Sadam had to be toppled because he was a threat to national security blah blah... It turned out that they were deliberately lying to us. Then immediately after the WTC was attacked George Bush declared war on 'terror' and sent hundreds of your men to their deaths - along with hundreds of ours. Just where exactly is 'terror'? It doesn't just live in Afghanistan, it's on the streets of America and Great Britain, along with countless other countries across the globe. If he had wanted to get Bin Laden he could have done it without bringing your nation to its knees, and dragging ours down with it.
So I'd be more inclined to thrash out the real reason why some country hates yours so much, then see what could be done to put it right. The trouble is, our nations have made a lot of enemies by sticking their noses into other countries affairs, and it's about time they backed off and left them to their own devices. Just my opinion.

  A very accurate summary of how it all happened. Our right wing Prime Minister at the time, John Howard sold us the same bull-dust about WMBs and we are still losing young Australian lives as a member of "the willing" as George Bush called us.
  
  America has meddled in the affairs of most of the countries in the world to exploit them, and England, Australia are not far behind.
  
  America has also been one of the worlds greatest advocates for peace and democracy, but others see the state of affairs in America and decide that if this is what American style democracy brings, they can keep it!
  
  We have no effective pain killers in our country courtesy of the useless war on drugs while we watch American kids being arrested then treated like dirt for having a joint.
  
  America has an extreme right wing that puts up candidates for the Presidency who talk in tongues..... literally. One part of America lives off the arms sold to keep these wars in place and have no alternative employment.
  
  Change will come, but not until American can rid itself of the neurotic religious wowsers who infest it's congress.

If you all did some research, then you will know it was an "inside job". There are a lot of things that doesn't add up. For one, why did it take so long for officials to respond to the attack. The "terrorists" was supposedly planning this the night before, so why didn't they suspect foul play then and let them get on plane with suitcases? It doesn't sound right.

  You should have put "research" in quotes because most conspiracy folks' "research" amounts to reading on the Internet the recycled "research" and wild speculations of other conspiracy aficionados. I say conspiracy aficionados because most conspiracy theorist's beliefs are not likely to be confined to a single conspiracy. For some reason they seem to be susceptible to multiple such theories, almost as if it's a matter of genetic predisposition. I wonder if there's a "suspicion" gene???

I think perhaps instead of asking "was 9/11 an inside job?", we should ask "is our government capable of opportunistically using a tragic and horrific event to further a pre-existing agenda of increased involvement in the Middle East?"

Let's face it, we'll never establish in our lifetimes whether September the 11th was an inside job - maybe it was, maybe it wasn't. As ordinary people, we don't have all the facts at our fingertips. But the existence of organisations like the PNAC which a couple of people here have mentioned certainly points to a pre-existing agenda.

I also think that people make a huge mistake when they focus on one political party and not the other - the fact is that although the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq happened under Bush, Obama has been quite happy to increase the numbers of troops sent out there and basically carry on where Bush left off.

  I agree that Obama seems to be happily continuing the efforts of Bush. If you trace back through the last 40 years or so, that seems to be the case with quite a few presidents. There are some obvious differences here and there, but not all that many. This is one of the aspects of government I've found "curious" for a long time now.
  
  I do believe, at the very least, it was permitted to happen, though there are some interesting points needing to be investigated. There are several issues that are in conflict with the government being totally responsible as well as those that seem to indicate the government had a hand in it. The way I see it: assigning the label of "inside job" for allowing it to occur is just as appropriate as pinning it on the government if they were responsible for the total planning and execution.
  
  If you are in a position to stop a crime before it occurs because of your knowledge of the planned event, and you do nothing to facilitate avoidance or interception, you're guilty of conspiracy to commit.

The fact that a few weeks before the terrorist attack the owner of the building made sure these building were cover by insurance for the very kind of thing that happened.

The program also reported that the owner of these building turned his million dollar investment of owning these building into billion dollars profit.

The remains of the nine hijackers from the Pentagon and Pennsylvania crash sites have also been confirmed; six other hijackers have yet to be identified....
  
  "What's left of the terrorists—which, all told, likely amounts to less than 24 pounds of flesh and bone fragments—are sequestered at undisclosed locations in New York and Virginia. They are "stored as evidence in a refrigerated locker in sealed containers and test tubes," says Richard Kolko, a spokesman for the FBI....
  
  "But the remains of the terrorists stood out. Four of the DNA profiles from the Pennsylvania crash site didn't match material provided by the families of passengers and crew. By simple process of elimination, Smith knew these were the hijackers. He sent the samples back to Miller along with the genetic codes....
  
  "Working with a team of specialists on the third floor of the J. Edgar Hoover building in Washington, D.C., Giusti was in fact already creating DNA profiles of the New York terrorists from scraps of evidence left behind in hotel rooms and rental cars in the days before the attacks...."

  Hello Deed,
  
  This sounds logical and possible. But I'm not yet ready to give up the idea that foul play isn't afoot. You know as well as I do that there has been a number of underhanded acts taken place through the years.
  
  Thanks for the clarity of this aspect of 9/11

  I have no doubt that people in the FBI and CIA and the airlines are unwilling to admit they dropped the ball and failed to share information or take appropriate action that might have prevented the 9-11 attack. However, that's a far cry from the government blowing up the buildings and conspiring to blame it on Al Qaida.

  Apparently the CIA and others have perpetrated false flag incidents, but this wasn't the case on 9-11. Why is the truth that it was perpetrated by a group of fanatical fundamentalist Muslims guided by Al Qaida because they resented the stationing of US troops on sacred Muslim soil and our support for Israel? That seems pretty clear to me.

Was reading just last night, but can't remember where....
Anyway, not only did Silverstein buy the towers just a short time before 9/11, he had it written in the insurance that if the towers got hit with a terrorist attrack, he would be able to collect on the damage,but not be liable for the remainder of the mortgage! (?)

I was going to paste it, but thought yes, well, the towers were bombed before, so it makes sense he would do that.....But it's also a BIG plus in his favor and that not a month later, he cashes in BIG time....

....and says "we pulled it".

  "Pulling" a building is firefighter jargon for pulling a crew out of a burning structure they can't save, not for demolishing the building.

  It's also the word used in Las Vegas when they demolish a building they don't want.
  
  "The demolition process uses explosives to damage the columns. This explosion, like any, is a sudden expansion of gases. That expansion, when over, leaves a vacuum. The vacuum within the building "pulls" the building into the middle, helping it to implode, not explode all over the surrounding area.
  When a bld is demo'd they might say, "pull it", to mean create that little black hole to suck the build into.
  The pulling action also helps the building to fall faster than it would without assistance."

A Little TRUTHposted 12 years ago
Yes, the military term is “false flag operation”. A common military strategy.

When there is a murder, the investigators look for a motive. Your question involves murder, so let’s look for a motive.

We need to ask: Who benefited from the event? Well, everyone knows the difference in life on earth before and after 9/11. With the resulting Patriot Act, the US government and police now can essentially search, seize, and detain at will, the airports have x-ray vision scanners, etc. Who benefits from this? The US government and/or those in control of it. Don’t say the people want this, because they only want it AFTER 9/11 occurred.

Do we have a motive?

Do we have a suspect?

Conditioning: When I watched the first building come down real time on TV, I said “Wow, it must have taken months for somebody to sneak in nightly and plant all those charges”. I am an engineer, and the fall was obviously a planned demolition. For weeks, I was glued to the TV news, just like everybody else. I came to believe the official story – the conditioning was that good.

I later came to my senses, using a little logic. My favorite bit of logic is this: The official story says the heat from the flames weakened the steel, and caused the collapse under the weight. But the flames were orange-yellow for a minute or so, then lots of black smoke. Orange-yellow flames indicates a temperature of around 750 deg F. Makes sense, jet fuel, gasoline burns at about that temperature. Black smoke indicates an incomplete burn, not enough air, with cooler temps. It takes thousands of degrees to weaken steel.

Think of it this way: Your gas stove has a blue flame – much hotter than yellow-orange flames. You can put a steel pot on the stove for hours. does it get weak? Could you bend it any easier than if it was cold?
Not to mention the collapse of Building 7.

Due to my experience, I can understand how so many people can be lead to believe the official story, and even campaign for it. They are like “the lady in the red dress” in “The Matrix”.

  thank you, thank you! There's just so much nonsense going on with people thinking it couldn't possibly have happened in OUR country. I watched the fall in real time, just as you. I'm NOT an engineer, but thought there was no way it could fall like that. I had just watched a television show that showed controlled demolitions and how they are accomplished..only weeks before 9/11. I felt like I was watching a rerun! And the comparison to cooking with a steel pot was ingenius! I'm so upset that I didn't think of it first. I'm really slipping!

I woke up hours later, my entire house filled with a black smoke so that I had to crawl to open a window. The pot was still as perfect as when I had filled it and placed it on the stove. Except it was coated with burnt grease. No melting, no warping. It wasn't even glowing red.

"Prince Sultan’s father’s legal counsel is William Jeffress Jr, of Houston-based Baker Botts LLP, where James A. Baker III, longstanding advisor to the Bush family, including both Presidents Bush, is a senior partner. At the time of the 9/11 attacks, Baker held the post of Senior Counselor for the Carlyle Group, aglobal asset management firm which is heavily invested in military contracting stocks; among Carlyle’s large investors were the bin Ladens. (In a curious coincidence, Baker watched the live television coverage of the attacks from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Washington, where he and representatives of Osama bin Laden‘s extended family were attending the Carlyle Group’s annual conference. In another odd coincidence, President George W. Bush himself was in Sarasota, reading to schoolchildren, at the very time the Sarasota-area-based terrorists were hijacking the planes. Indeed, he was a short distance from the home the Ghazzawis had recently abandoned.)

President Bush’s actions in the aftermath of the World Trade Center and Pentagon assaults with regard to the Saudi royal family have long been known but have yet to be fully explored. Shortly after the attacks, President Bush permitted an exception to the ban on air traffic so that planes could take prominent Saudis out of the country. One of those leaving on the flights was the late Prince Ahmed bin Salman, brother of Prince Sultan."

author James Risen. As Risen wrote in his book State of War,

"Ever since the September 11 attacks, the trail back from al Qaeda to Saudi Arabia has been an intriguing path, but one that very few American investigators have been willing to follow. . . . [b]oth before and after 9/11, President Bush and his administration have displayed a remarkable lack of interest in aggressively examining the connections between Osama bin Laden, al Qaeda, and the Saudi power elite. Even as the Bush administration spent enormous time and energy trying in vain to prove connections between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden in order to help justify the war in Iraq, the administration was ignoring far more conclusive ties with Saudi Arabia. Those links are much stronger and far more troubling than has ever been previously disclosed, and until they are thoroughly investigated, the roots of Al Qaeda’s power, and the full story of 9/11, will never be known."

Even Oliver North once said that whenever the trail lead to Saudi Arabia, they were told to back off!

"By Lee Fang on Feb 10, 2010 at 9:35 am

Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal owns a 7 percent stake in News Corp — the parent company of Fox News — making him the largest shareholder outside the family of News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch. Alwaleed has grown close with the Murdoch enterprise, recently endorsing James Murdoch to succeed his father and creating a content-sharing agreement with Fox News for his own media conglomerate, Rotana."

Cripes!! Following up on something I read year ago:

'In the 1960's the "Sawt Al Arab" Broadcasting Station in Cairo, Egypt, and the Yemen Broadcasting Station in Sana'a confirmed the Jewish Ancestry of the Saudi Family.

King Faisal Al-Saud at that time could not deny his family's kindred with the Jews when he declared to the Washington Post on Sept. 17, 1969 stating: "We, The Saudi family, are cousins of the Jews: we entirely disagree with any Arab or Muslem Authority which shows any antagonism to the Jews; but we must live together with them in peace. Our country (Arabia) is the Fountain head from where the first Jew sprang, and his descendants spread out all over the world." That was the declaration of King Faisal AL-Saud Bin Abdul Aziz! '
