9/11
in a Nutshell
Bush’s Excuse for Iraq Revisited
| David Satre Bush and Company were eager to jump on 9/11 as a way to take this country to war --- one of the prime goals in its Project for a New American Century (PNAC). |
 |
Taking advantage of the furor of patriotism in America following the attacks made it easy for The Regime to attack Afghanistan under the battle cry of a War on Terrorism. And then to quickly move on to Iraq….
Now, further research into the mysteries of the Twin Towers exposes
a dastardly trail of misdeeds that led to the devastation on September
11th, 2001, and the story is not what it seemed.
The prime targets for the terrorist attacks were the World Trade Center’s
Twin Towers in New York City, the White House and the Pentagon in Washington,
D.C. The plan was to destroy these buildings by hijacking commercial airliners
and crashing them into the buildings. The result was devastating, crushing
three of the World Trade Center’s buildings, including the Twin
Towers, and putting a big hole in the Pentagon.
The nation watched in horror as the unbelievable videos rolled across
their television screens. Another airliner, aimed toward the White House,
was apparently diverted from its target, but crashed in a Pennsylvanian
countryside with the resulting loss of lives for everyone on board.
The Pentagon attack:
Reportedly, a terrorist flew a gigantic Boeing 757 loaded with passengers
right into the side of the Pentagon, with a resulting giant fireball and
explosion that could be felt a mile and a half away. Although, amazingly,
very few witnesses reported seeing this huge airplane, which roared through
the area at an ultra low level prior to its destruction in this massive
ball of flame, there were some eye witness reports of the plane flying
into the building.
What is most amazing is the devastation from the fireball, which was so
hot that it incinerated almost all traces of this massive airplane! This
is a 44 ft. tall airplane with a 144 ft. wingspan and two huge Pratt &
Whitney engines that function at the high temperatures of jet fuel, but
experts believe they will melt, or plasticize, at around 1,800 degrees
Fahrenheit.
There is little visible evidence remaining of the 757. Jet fuel is
blamed for completely destroying the plane with its tremendous heat. Most
of the remaining pieces of the plane, especially those found outside the
building, were small enough to be carried away by a single person. But
they showed no fire damage. Also, there were no skid marks indicating
the plane hit the ground before it crashed into the building.
Planes this size do not normally vaporize in a crash.There are usually
huge piles of wreckage all over a crash site. This one disappeared ---
almost without trace. The only engine parts found were determined
to be from a different airplane, an old Navy A3 Sky Warrior jet, which
was much smaller than a 757.
However, the Boeing 757 employs many composites and fiber optics in its construction --- it's not all metal. The carbon-expoxy composite matrix materials are extremely light and strong, but tend to break into pieces easily in a crash. When burned, they are almost totally consumed and the result is a thick, black smoke containing graphite/carbon filaments, which is similar to the smoke from a jet fuel fire.
The sheet metal in older airplanes tends to bend and warp into small pieces that meet the descriptions of the plane pieces at the Pentagon. The planes also make extensive use of fiber optics, which melt and are consumed like plastic in a fire.
The Pratt & Whitney engines in the 757 are subsonic, heavy lift, radial bypass engines. Their design includes a huge fan that is actually 10 feet in diameter and occupies the greater portion of the engine --- the the actual engine, including the compressor, combustor and turbine, is quite small by comparison. The fan, the high speed rotors and compressor blades probably disintegrated upon impact. A 757's engines will "plasticize" or melt at 1800 degrees Fahrenheit.
Photos showing potential engine parts at the crash site are inconclusive. Examination of the parts and their serial numbers by experts should provide conclusive evidence, but this information seems unavailable.

The hole in the building caused by the initial crash of the Jumbo Jet is another issue. It is nowhere near the massive wingspan of the airplane. The damage to the building was concave, which indicates a plane crash. If it were the result of a detonation it would have blown outward. However, the major damage was caused by the collapse of the upper floors after the plane crashed into the ground floor. It does not seem possible that the plane could have crashed into the lower floor without first leaving some damage on the lawn outside the building.
Videos and photos of the Pentagon following the crash and before the collapse of the section of the building over the initial crash site show no damage to the front of the building's upper floors. Even the windows are unbroken. And there is a curious situation in which the offices adjoining the crash site show no evidence of fire damage, despite the reportedly intense heat from the jet fuel fire. Desks and computer monitors near the edge of the rooms exposed by the building's collapse show now damage --- a large, open, book (probably a dictionary) wasn't even singed.
Many experts believe it is more likely that a Cruise Missile made the hole. The missile uses Cordite explosives, which have a dramatically different effect than jet fuel. It displays a tiny, but bright, silvery flash. It is also cool burning and its odor is distinctly different than jet fuel. A missile warhead produces a much louder noise than an aircraft crash, but there is little smoke generated from the explosion.
Expert witnesses reported the strong odor of jet fuel and a huge ball of blame. And yet, most amazingly, the bodies of 184 of the 189 people who were burned to a crisp in the flash of that fireball were identified, while the plane parts disappeared. Their condition, however, indicated immolation from jet fuel --- a missile detonation would have stripped the flesh from the bodies. But where is the plane?
And, if the crash was actually caused by a missile or another plane, the ultimate question remains, "Where is American Airlines Flight 77, its passengers and crew?
The video camera that recorded the action did not show an airplane causing the crash, but this was probably because the camera was set to snap images at intervals to save video tape. It is possible the plane flew through the area during one of those intervals. But, this is The Pentagon! It should be the most secure building in the universe. There are surveillance cameras everywhere. Could their system be so fallible that a 757 doesn't show up on it? Embarrassing --- to say the least.
Surveillance tapes from a local gas station, a Sheraton Hotel and the Virginia Department of Transportation actually captured the entire event on video and, presumably, were in real time. But these tapes were immediately confiscated by the FBI within minutes of the explosion and classified as secret. Only five still frames were ever released and none of them show a 757 in the picture. The release of these videos could easily settle the issue quickly, but it ain’t gonna happen.
Other issues include concerns over the possibility of a novice pilot dropping a 757 into a 330 degree bank at 530 mph and guiding it into a building. Experts are nearly unanimous in agreement that the plane would have stalled and crashed. Some witnesses also reported bombs going off everywhere.
Sooo, it's plausible that the plane could have pretty much disintegrated in the fire, but that still doesn't answer the question: where are the engines? One of the biggest questions is, just how did the plane get there? Did an inexperienced novice actually perform a maneuver that most experts believe is impossible? Or is it possible, with a veteran pilot at the controls?
The World Trade Center
The most intriguing story of the World Trade Center catastrophe
is the unexplained collapse of the WTC Seven building at 5:20 p.m., about
seven hours after the Twin Towers imploded. This 47-story building was
600 feet away from the North Tower and was not hit by any planes.
It, like the others, collapsed demolition style in just
six seconds. Falling debris from the Twin Towers was blamed for
igniting several fuel tanks within the building, but none of the
surrounding buildings were affected. The three skyscrapers were
reportedly the first in history to collapse due to fires. There are strong indications that WTC owner Larry Silverstein, who leased the twin towers just six weeks before 9/11, ordered the demolition of Building Seven. |

Witnesses reported a “big explosion” prior
to the collapse of the second tower and employees reported hearing
the explosions on different floors, including the basement. Firemen
also reported explosions preceding the collapses and six flashes
of light were reported between floors 10 and 15 just before the
collapse. There were six central support columns in the buildings. In the weeks before 9/11 there were several unannounced and “unusual” drills in which the twin towers and WTO Seven were evacuated for “security” reasons. This may have provided the perfect opportunity to plant the bombs. Bomb-sniffing dogs, which had been on assignment there for several weeks because of security increases resulting from numerous phone threats, were removed from Tower One on the 6th of September. |
WTC
Building Seven, interestingly, was used by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) to store 3,000 to 4,000 files related
to Wall Street investigations. Other tenants included the CIA, DOD,
IRS, Secret Service and mayor Rudy Giulliani’s emergency bunker. Security for The World Trade Center, American Airlines and Dulles International Airport was provided by Stratesec, an electronic security company backed by Kuait American Corp. from 1993 until 2000. President Bush’s lesser known brother, Marvin Bush, was the director for Securicom , which is now known as Stratesec, during that period. The basic conclusion here is that the World Trade Center was brought down, not by a plane, but in a carefully planned demolition. It was a psychological attack on the American people and was pulled off with military precision. |
WTC Seven |
The identification of the airplanes used to crash into the Twin Towers is also a matter of controversy. Eye witnesses report the first plane was not a passenger airliner --- it had no windows and had an unfamiliar circular blue logo on the nose of the plane. There was only one video of the initial crash and it was from the wrong angle and too great a distance to verify this identification.
The second plane was photographed from all angles and also appears to lack windows. The videos show a shadowy object, somewhat in the shape of a fairly large missile or fuel tank, attached to the under side of the plane. There are also some mysterious flashes of light on the building, to the right of the plane, just prior to the impact of the plane. These flashes also appeared on the initial crash.
If these were not the airliners reported on by the media, what were they? The Air Force has a version of the 767 that is used as a fuel tanker. It has no windows. But, again, if these were not the airliners, where are they, their crew and the passengers?
FLIGHT 93
United Airlines Flight 93 was reportedly taken over by terrorists
and was headed to the White House when a group of passengers fought back
and the plane crashed in Pennsylvania with all lives lost. There were
several dramatic phone calls made from the plane during its final moments
of existence.
A stewardess made a 23-minute call, which was the only call that was recorded,
according to the 9/11 Commission, although only four minutes were recorded.
There is a strong contention that all of these calls were faked. Experts
claim the cell phone calls could not have been completed at that altitude.
Also, the calls seemed strange and were suspiciously brief, only a couple
of sentences at a time. Today’s digital sampling technology, which
enables the cloning of someone’s speech with just a 10 minute sample
of their recorded voice, could have been employed.

The
crash site is also unusual. There were reports of parts of the airplane
falling off many miles from the crash. There were also reports of
a mysterious white plane following Flight 93 and other reports of
two F-16 fighters following the airliner, leading to conjecture
that the plane was actually shot down. Some witnesses claim the
plane was actually flying upside down before the crash and others
say they heard as many as three loud explosions before the plane
went down. |
| The
crash site shows no sign of a jet fuel fire near the 70-foot crater
of the crash but, again, there is small evidence of the plane. No
wings, no tail, no engines, just like the Pentagon site. The smoke
in photographs of the site has been identified by experts as that
from ordnance, not jet fuel. Evidence that the plane was shot down
is also lacking, if that were the case there would have been parts
of the plane scattered all over the surrounding area. Again, the
pieces of the 757 that were found at the crash site were removed
in hand-held buckets. |

There is also a mysterious report that claims Flight 93 landed in Cleveland. At 10:00 a.m. Cleveland's Hopkins Airport was evacuated because of a terrorist threat. People were sent home, although they weren't even allowed to take their cars of buses. Bus drivers were told not to leave or they would be shot.
Delta flight 1989 landed at 10:10. It’s
passengers were held and interrogated for over two hours.
Flight 93 then landed at 10:45 and its 200 passengers were quickly evacuated
in less than 1/2 hour and taken to an empty NASA building.
A United Airlines employee later reported seeing Flight 93 at Chicago’s
O Hare airport in 2003. The plane’s tail number was spotted on a
United Airlines 757 operating as flight 1111.
Most of the flight recorders for the 9/11 planes were not found, according
to authorities. This may be the first time in history that a flight recorder
hasn’t been recovered in a major crash. They were supposedly destroyed
in the heat of the blast although, suspiciously, a suspected hijacker’s
(Satan Suqami) passport apparently survived the same terrible conditions
in the wreckage of Flight 11, which crashed into the North Tower.
Nicholas DoMasi, a firefighter and the author
of Behind the Scenes: Ground Zero worked with Federal Agents
to search for the black boxes at Ground Zero. He says there were a total
of four boxes, and DoMasi claims they found three of them.
FBI Director Robert Mueller said that Flight 77’s data recorder
provided some information, but the plane’s voice recorder provided
nothing useful. Donald Rumsfeld also said the voice recorder’s data
was “unrecoverable.”
Flight 93’s voice recorder was recovered --- but its contents were
declared top secret in the sake of national security. The information
was eventually released to the victims’ families in 2002, but the
family members were required to sign an agreement to not discuss its contents.
They were not allowed to take notes. The last three minutes of the tape
were “not accounted for.” The FBI did not offer a reason
for the missing tape.
So, who did this? And why, after all this time, hasn’t our
government really done anything about these barbaric acts?
Most Americans initially agreed with the action in Afghanistan because
Osama bin Laden, the leader of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group, was
reported to be hiding in the remote areas of the country.
Americans were sold on the idea that Bin Laden had masterminded the attacks
on The World Trade Center and the Pentagon. A massive media and political
campaign following the terrorist attacks had fingered Bin Laden as the
ringleader, despite the fact that he had denied responsibility for the
actions. Osama said the attacks “seemed planned by people for personal
reasons.”
Our government released a video Dec 13, 2001, showing Bin Laden confessing
to the planning of the 9/11 attacks. The video has been played countless
times in the media since then. The tape quality is very poor. Mysteriously,
all of the videos supposedly from Al-Qaeda are of extremely poor quality.
The video is an apparent piece of propaganda. The person on the tape does
not look nor act like Bin Laden. Osama is left handed, but the man in
the video is shown writing a note with his right hand. He is also wearing
a gold ring, which is forbidden by Islamic law. And, if the buildings
were actually detonated, Bin Laden did not have the capabilities to do
this. Yet, the charade continues.
Why would our government allow this? It’s the usual answer:
Money, Power and Gold.
THE GOLD
There was reportedly over $167 billion in gold stored underneath the WTC
in 2001. The Bank of Nova Scotia claimed it lost $200
million in gold in the wreckage. The New York Mercantile Exchange’s
Comex metals trading division had over $100 million worth of gold stored
there. Comex had another a $220 million it held for other investors. Comex
also held precious metals for Chase Manhattan, the Bank of New York and
Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking.
An actual $230 million in gold was reportedly recovered from Ground Zero.
$230 million from under WTC Four was found in a delivery tunnel under
World Trade Center Five. The gold was found in the back of a 10-wheel
truck. There were also several abandoned cars in the tunnel. No bodies
were found.
The question is, how did the drivers know to abandon their treasure? No-one
supposedly expected the buildings to collapse. Was this stash just
a diversion? Or was the real horde stolen before the attacks?
So, who stood to gain financially from the 9/11 attacks?
Convar, a German-based data recovery company, recovered data from 32 computers
in the Trade Center that show more than $100 million in insider trading
occurred just before the attacks. This is thought to be because the traders
believed they would get away with it because the data on their transactions
would be destroyed in the collapse of the buildings. This data was given
to the FBI, but the FBI has not investigated, nor released any data on
who was responsible or the names of participants.
Larry Silverstein, who had just signed a 99-year lease for the World Trade
Center in July 2001, has spent $200 million on lawyers as he seeks up
to $7 billion from the insurance policies. Silverstein actually confessed
that "they" decided to "pull down" WTC Seven and then
watched the building collapse. This video was actually broadcast on national
television and seen by millions of people, many of whom taped it. The
video was subsequently pulled and has never again been shown on network
television.
The Bush Regime benefited greatly from 9/11. They were able to embark
on their plan (PNAC),
which included dethroning Saddam and taking over Iraq. They were able
to curtail American freedoms by imposing The Patriot Act in the name of
national security. They were able to open the government coffers for the
military industry and the Regime’s cronies, including Bechtel and
Halliburton.
Every attempt to uncover the truth behind 9/11 has been blackballed, ridiculed
and harassed by both the government and the media. The whole thing was
motivated by greed and the opportunity to pocket billions of dollars.
People lied and people died. America has been hijacked by a group of tyrants
ready and willing to do and say whatever it takes to keep their stranglehold
on this country and the financial resources it offers.
This might not have been the perfect crime, but the cover-up comes close.
We may never know the actual truth behind 9/11. Or who ended up with the gold.
