Conspiracy Theories

by Benjamin Rhodes | August 22nd, 2006 | |Subscribe

A recent poll by Scripps-Howard found that 33% of Americans believe that the U.S. government either perpetrated 9/11, or allowed it to happen to enable the country to go to war.

What is going on? The theories are absurd – the World Trade Center was dynamited, a missile hit the Pentagon, the government trained the hijackers, etc. They are also easily debunked. Not only by the 9/11 Commission, but also by an exhausitve study by the National Institute on Standards and Technology, and any invetsigative report that bothers to look into the claims of conspiracy theorists (for instance, this one).

They are also insulting. Tell someone who was in the Pentagon, who saw a plane, who nearly died because of jet fuel inhilation, that they were actually hit by a missile. Or tell a family member who received a phone call from someone on board American 77 that this plane didn’t exist, or that it was somehow mysteriously landed in a field where the government executed everyone. It is a mark of these conspiracy theorists that they hold the government to a 100% level of truth – a level that is sometimes simply unreachable. Yet they themselves have no evidence for their own alternative theories.

It is one thing for people with some pyschological need – or simply far too much time on their hands – to indulge these fantasies. But clearly reasonable people are taking the bait. In some circles, it appears to be the intellectually trendy, thing to do. Yes, the Bush Administration bears some blame – for not always telling the truth, for its penchant for secrecy, for initially blocking a full inquiry into pre-9/11 failings. But leaping from that to the denegration of 9/11, the victims of 9/11, and the countless dedicated public servants who defend our national security is a bridge too far.

It’s pieces like this one in Vanity Fair that disturb me. This should not be treated as a charming pop culture phenomenon. People with questions about how 9/11 happened, or about what more the government could have done to stop it, should be vigorous participants in the debate – they should question the government, hold it to account, and point out questions that need answers. But people should ask questions that are just as tough to those who leap to wild and utterly unproven conclusions that the U.S. government carried out the 9/11 attacks – because those claims are corrosive, and wrong.

    You are so full of crap and you know it. No plane hit the pentagon. Cell phones didn’t work in planes in 2001. Jet fuel cannot melt Steel I beams. What about the Project for the New American Century’s mission statement? It calls for a Pearl Harbor like Incident that would propel this country into a state of war and unbeknownst to them it lead to mass hysteria and lies on top of lies.

    The conspiracy is real, you do not want to face the fact our government is just that evil, and just that corrupt. It is, face it. Your story cannot be backed because the government says so, common sense is strong, science is irrefutable and ignorance is hard to hide.

    All i am going to say is this….IF a boeing 747 did indeed hit the pentagon where why doesnt the govt release the GAS STATION and HOTEL cemera videos ???? I am ’sure’ the plane will be cleary seen there since NONE of it was left after the crash.

    ps: PLEASE dont tell me that the white trail on the released pentagon footage is that of a boeing because then i would have to call you IGNORANT !

    Why’d the government Lie about 9/11? I’ll answer that.

    People ask, What motives could possibliy drive the USA to commit an act such as 9/11?

    I’m going to say it in the most simple terms, because things get very simple when you think of it on a global scale.

    1. Billions upon Billions generated in iraq everyday going to our Greedy statesmen’s pocket’s, by way of a fascist (corporate-run) government.

    2. Complete and Utter Shock and Terror due to terrorism that doesn’t exist

    3. Control of the Sheep-People VIA a false made-up need for “national security” (Remember, the terrorists never did it to begin with).

    This was the same way Hitler began to control his people, through mind control, through a madeup need for “national security”

    4. Raping of our constitution through such heinous acts such as the “patriot act” and “homeland security” which allow total control of our most private information’s, tapping of our phone lines, etc… All in the name of TERRORISM WHICH DOESN’T EXIST.

    Get it? Good.

    The US was informed by Isarel that al-Qaeda was preparing to hijack planes and fly them into the twin towers. Israel removed its personell from the towers a week before the attacks. canadian, russian, and CIA intelligence also specifically warned about the attacks.

    our government lied. our government must be held accountable. we cannot trust them. they have lied before. they will lie again.

The question isn’t whether or not it’s true… and pay attention now… the question IS… Why won’t the government answer these questions?

    The real conspiracy theory is the offical government theory. Let me ask you Ben, if a 757 hit the Pentagon, WHERE IS IT??? Where are the 2 9-foot steel titanium Rolls Royce RB211 engines? Sorry, in the real world, these cannot simply disintegrate upon impact. Last time I checked, steel is stronger than concrete so steel would NOT disintegrate like your government says. Also, why was the only engine found a 3-foot engine, coincidently the same size as the Global Hawk engine? What a coincidence. So far, all the evidence points to a conspiracy. Can you show me evidence to the contrary? I didn’t think so as all of you Neocons never have any evidence, just shallow replys like “then where is the plane?” or “our government wouldn’t do that”.
    Start doing some real research for yourself if you can handle the truth. However, I doubt you will because you can’t handle the truth. It scares you because if this conspiracy is real, America would be in even greater danger than you know. We would be in danger of becoming a full blown facsist dictatorship and grant George’s wish of being a dictator.
    DO YOUR RESEARCH BECAUSE THIS IS THE TRUTH OF 9-11! We’re in a crypto-fascist state and it is just getting worse. I’m not paving this road to tyranny, I’m just EXPOSING IT!!!

    Go to the official FBI most wanted page on the web. Osama Bin Laden is right up there on the list. He may even be No.1! However, you will not find the FBI linking him to the most catastrophic “terrorist” act in the history of the united states. Several truth seekers have questioned the FBI on why it 9/11 is not stated on his list of known criminal activities. Their reply? There is not enough evidence to support this claim. So, it’s ok for the US government to bomb the crap out of afghanistan on the previso that they’re trying to find this known perpetrator, yet the FBI won’t even ammend their website to include 9/11 in his list of crimes?

    The simple fact is this. There are numerous things that need to be explained and are being ignored. Any patriotic citizen of a truly democratic nation should want the answers to any questions casting doubts like these to be resolved.

    You can remain a skeptic, you don’t have to believe. Just ask for the questions to be properly adressed instead of ignored. The 9/11 commission report didn’t even mention the collapse of the third tower. How can anyone consider this a comprehensive, difinitive report when a whole building, which collapsed without having a plane hit it, be completely omitted. The people that lost their lives deserve more than this.

    It’s amazing that almost 5 years after this event happened that people just can’t pull their head out of their ass long enough to educate themselves. The World Trade Center came down in a controlled demolition. WTC 7 came down 8 hours later in a controlled demolition when nothing even hit the building. Where are the parts to the plane that hit the Pentagon or the flight that crashed that supposively was to hit the Capitol Building or the White House? Where is the COMPLETE video of the plane hitting the Pentagon? Bush knew, follow the money. Bush was sitting in a classroom reading to children on 9/11 so gullible Americans would think he had nothing to do with it because they were made to think, “How could Bush have done it he was reading to school children?” The worst part about this, these people actually think BUSH CAN READ!

    How can a plane with a 124 foot wing span only make a 16 foot hole? What about reports of secondary explosions in the WTC? Why don’t you look up what Bush said he was doing when the first plane hit? He says he saw the first plane hit on TV in the school as it happened. How could that be possible if there was only one video released not until the day after? How about the firemen from Battalion Seven who were on the 78th floor of the South tower who said that there were 2 isolated fires that can be knocked out with 2 lines? Isn’t that one of the floors that the plane hit? If the heat from the fire was so intense that it could melt steel, how could a fireman say that the fire can be knocked out with 2 lines? How could the fireman even make it even near the 78th floor. Here’s a link to the audio and transcript to that for you ….

    Point by point:
    The conspiracy theories are insulting.? To whom? And in what way? I would love to talk to someone who was at The Pentagon and saw a plane. Got any names? Of course the families of those who died have suffered terribly, including those people who died on American 77. The question is what series of events led to their death. Defenders of the current explanations tend to point to those who have suffered incalculable loss, beat their breasts, and then move on to their real agenda. As you have done.
    And rather than take a cold hard look at the message, let’s attack those who bring the message by suggesting they have a pyschological need to indulge in fantasy, or even worse, let’s accuse them of having too much time on their hands. Oldest trick in the book, discredit the messenger, then you don’t need to answer the questions they might have raised.
    And could you please explain to me how looking for the truth about the events of 9/11 is in any way denigrating to the victims, the survivors, and the countless dedicated public servants who defend our national security?
    And I would agree that making false claims is corrosive and wrong. Things like claiming there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq maybe? I’d also like to point out that a theory is not a claim of truth. A theory is an unproven possible answer to a question or questions. The theory that seems to answer the most questions is the winner, until another theory comes along to displace it. That’s what empirical knowledge is all about.

    Of the many thousands of people who are joining the “9/11 Truth Movement”, most have done hours upon hours of research into the events of that day. The movement includes many professors, experts, military officers, public officials, eyewitnesses and emergency personnel that either have first-hand knowledge of that tragic day or have spent many hours investigating to quiet the screaming questions in their hearts and minds. This is not a movement of fools, which has no basis in reality. Do the facts point to a large conspiracy on the part of our government and military? Yes! What those of us who have joined the movement have come to realize is that the official story is much more of a wild concocted theory than what we have concluded through our own intensive research and investigation. It, too, represents a conspiracy on a monumentous scale. There are still many family members of loved ones who died on 9/11 and suffer still to this day because the 9/11 commission did not and will not answer their questions. They deserve to know the truth, but the bureaucrats in Washington are not concerned. This speaks volumes to thousands and millions of Americans who demand answers and seek to know the truth. The government and military industrial complex is not coming forward to adequately answer their questions. Still, … people like yourself, with your small mind and limited scope of understanding and comprehension, insist on attempting to discredit the efforts of many patriotic Americans seeking to uncover the real facts. Nevertheless, we march on …

    I’m not a fan of conspiracy theories. I’m a busy student who spends free time reading international news and liberal news. There’s too many flaws with the events in 911. When I first saw the collapse of the first two builds I was astonished that a terrorist cell was able to rig that whole place with modern explosives like they were explaining all day. I know it as a controlled demolition as clear as day. I was just confused that they never explained the stroy as a demolition. There was thermaete found in the air dust and rubble. This is a signiature element to modern demolition explosives. The pentagon video one out of hundreds of camers around the nations most secure nuildings showed no plane. That’s evident their own video proof is proof against them. This wouldn’t be an issue if it was just a conspiracy theory. Building 7 I believe was demolished for certain but they say the fire dept. did it that day. It takes weeks to set up those explosives. That’s why they closed off 30 floors at a time while they claimed to be inspecting the two main buildings for electrical shortages. weeks before many officials were in those buildings, my friends older brother saw those agents nearly everyday blocking off many office floors. Learn for yourself. Stop being such a mindless tool and open your mind. You believe in authority I believe in myself. You puppet, Iether your profitting from your lies or your just to cowardly to look at the reality.

    You’re incredibly wrong. The only thing ‘insulting’ about this entire situation is that people like you can sit around and write this manipulative garbage. Since day one people have been doubting the official reports. Funny, the Government even refuses to address the issue even though national polls show that over 30% of Americans feel that something quite suspicious has happened. And now people that seek the actual truth are being labled as “Non-Patriotic”. That couldn’t be more wrong. I love my country. I love what it stands for. I love the life anyone can make for themselves here. And the facts are that all of those things are changing. Our own Government wants us to believe that there are people out there that want to kill us, and the only thing stopping them from doing that is THEM. Well I say it’s all BS. Our Government is controlled by secret societies that have one goal in mind, a one world Government where they control everything, including how much money they can stuff in their big, fat, greasy pockets. I refuse to be a sheep, or any other farm animal for that matter. I’m a human being, I’m intitled to freedom, liberty and everything else that comes with it. Maybe one day, when you wake up in what they hope this world will become, you’ll stop feeding propaganda non-sense like the following article to your fellow Americans.

    It is telling that every single comment to your post is in disagreement with you.
    I’d say that should be an indication to you that perhaps your positions need to be rethought.
    I must also agree with those that point out your complete lack of evidence.
    You ask “What is going on?” I’ll tell you. America is being taken over by a corrupt group of elite powerbrokers. Our elections are rigged more easily than ever thanks to improvements in corruption technology, our people are being watched en masse, retaliated against for protesting corruption and tyranny, and the foxes guarding the henhouse are more blatantly criminal and corrupt than ever before in the history of America, and perhaps democracy.
    The tone of your piece suggests you support the rule of law, and that you are dismayed that some people accuse politicians you support of being liars.
    You should actually research their claims before delivering your opinion, unless you are willing to be a tool of those who are seeking to destroy your country.

    Here’s a kooky little conspiracy theory for y’all… they’re using this blog as a way to identify and locate all of us so that when they revoke the constitution, replaced by FEMA taking control with a shadow government under Martial Law, then all of us dissentful individuals can be rounded up and put into all of the empty, ready and waiting concentration camps that exist already in all 50 states.

    The point to my rant is this… I don’t necessarily believe this, however I’m open to it being possible and I’d like to find that it’s not possible and it’s not true. So I research, and encourage others to research.

    If there was no-one open to these zany idea’s being possible, no-one willing to have the courage to find out, imagine how easy it would be f a reigeme in say a fictional future wanted to take control.

    It’d be as easy as… “Lets just do something so kooky, they’d never believe it. Wow, wasn’t that easy, they didn’t even question it because it was so far outside their realm of possibility!”

    In all seriousness now, it may not be a fictional future where this could happen, it could be happening now. I admire those who are willing to ask the questions that look like dumb questions. Dumb questions prevent dumb mistakes. Oh, and can there really be such thing as a dumb question? In essence questions are asked to increase knowledge, so the very act of asking is smart in itself.

    I am sure the right (reich?) is working to make an example out of all those pointing the finger at them. They want to make an example out of us like they did the people who died in the WTC and the soldiers who continue to die. A battle to see who can make who look like the villian happens especially before the elections and the possble change in control. From all the evidence and witnesses, it seems clear that this administration played a part in 9/11. Too bad that if it does get any real acknowledgement, a lot of rich and powerful people who rely the system to maintain their wealth will be really angry. They wil continue to use, against the people, the same terror/fear tactics that they claim to be saving us from.

    The facts are irifutable, the building fell straight down and was not knocked over. Common sense about science explains that. The weightk, the impact and degree of fire could not even come close to harming the speacial grade steal beams in the infrastructure of the Twin towers. The some thing happend to the empire state building in the late 50’s when a boeing airliner crashed in to it and burn for two hours and the building didn’t even budge. I urge you to retract this article you do not have the true facts, your fabricating a truth based on an underlined subversive message bent on phsychological manipulation. How could possibly place yourself in a position that underminds the intellect of the people of this country. Your ability to manipulate numbers and words on web pages and mainstream media translates into a desperate manuever that indicates how low a person would go for finances. The people you back up will feed you to the dogs and take back what they’ve given you. Your defending a modern Hitler Regime, focused on dumbing down and segragating people on all levels of religon, socio-econmics,race, academicly and phsychologicaly. Any true leader of a powerful country with compassion and empathy who can introspective as well as retrospective would have the sense that war causes pain and pain does not relieve any tension or cause any healing. A true leader uses his military and the militaries to rebuild and modify damaged communities on an international scale. A true leader looks at sources of energy that benefit the people and the planet’s health. There is a way to run cars and houses on free energy such as water and solar paneling. Where is the common sense in using chemicals and pesticides in food and hygienic products. Where is the head of the leader of this country when he focuses on mundane non-benefiacial harmful decisions and excuses the consequence with ignorance and apathy. It is wrong to violate the constitution and the leader of this country has broken and oath to his country for the sake of harming it’s people at will in hopes it will create a subserviant slave class. Wake up sir you only live on in this life time make things right and spread the power knowledge of truth. Not the venomous crippler of lies.

    I for one don’t think that a “Missile” hit the pentagon. Think about it, if they used planes on the towers, then why not on the pentagon? I think the whole missile theory is to bait dissenters into believing in something that seems true at face value but can easily be debunked. Once enough people start to buy into it the government will release the other videos showing a plane smashing into the pentagon and then label ANY dissenters as kooked out conspiracy tin-hatters. I think the real answers lie in why NORAD stood down. Had NORAD followed basic, standard procedure the second plane should not have been able to hit the second tower. Also why weren’t Surface to Air missiles primed and ready to launch around Washington D.C. like they where in every other terrorist attack in American History?

Waking up and facing reality isn’t always easy but if you want to truly be a better person educate yourself. The answers are not always what we’d like or what we want. The same goes for life. The time has come to get out of the fantasy world. If our government cared so much about us we’d be allowed to have free energy devices,no killer vaccines,no IRS,no Federal Reserve,no Patriot Act and on and on. We have totally fallen apart and gone in the wrong direction in the last 100+ years. The few control the many. It’s about power and money and control. Who controls you?

    Ok…so basically this is the weakest blog ever…its almost as bad as 11 muslims getting arrested for having Hydrogen Peroxide. So if Jet Fuel caused the towers to fall then why did 3 towers fall when only 2 were hit by a plane? Why did we invade Iraq after 9/11 when today in the newspaper Bush came out right and sayd “Iraq had no ties to 9/11 attacks?” Why can this administration tell you one thing and completely change it and for some reason people like you still can’t see it. 33% thats 1 out of every 3 people believe that 9/11 was an inside job that number is quickly growing. Hitler wrote about the Big Lie in Mein Kempf and created the Reichtag Fire and then took civil liberties away with the enabling act, this is no different.

    Ha ha ha ha wow… come on what else do you guys expect from this kind of site. look at what its called “The Partnership for a Secure America” sounds alot like “SPP” (security and prosperity partnership – http://www.spp.gov) wow the address at the bottom of the page is just a few buildings down from PNAC’s (Project for a new American century) office building. I bet these guys lunch together? Ok I just found out some stuff…

    The Partnership for a Secure America is another think tank, just like PNAC.

    The 12 Republican board members are former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger; ex-Sens. Warren Rudman (N.H.), Howard Baker (Tenn.), Nancy Kassebaum Baker (Kan.) and Jack Danforth (Mo.), who served as Bush’s U.N. ambassador and envoy to Sudan; former New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean; former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld; former U.S. Trade Representative Carla Hills; former National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane; Rita Hauser, chairwoman of the International Peace Academy; and John Whitehead, a former deputy secretary of state.

    The 11 Democratic board members are former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Warren Christopher; former Defense Secretary William Perry; former National Security Advisers Samuel Berger, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Tony Lake; former Ambassador Richard Holbrook; former Sen. Gary Hart (Colo.); former Rep. Lee Hamilton (Ind.); former U.N. Ambassador Donald McHenry; and lawyer Ted Sorenson.

    Who owns this domain name? “Charles Andreae” now who is Charles Andreae?

    He’s, as stated above. A former chief of staff to Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) He also owns “Andreae and Associates, Inc” (Google it, for more info). We should all send him some love mail “Cnandreae@aol.com”

    May be a relative of “Count Charles Andreas Kinsky” … Defiantly of royal decent,

    Do a wikipedia search under “Count Charles Andreas Kinsky”

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

    “The former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom” or as I like me call him “the 33 degree freemason” Son of Lord Randolph Churchill… “Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill” came up in that search also. Bottom line the guy who owns this site is most defiantly elite!

    Here is a nice Partnership for a Secure America quote “Our organization is not created to criticize anyone but to develop a better process to get the right answers, We need to work to rebuild by having debates to find the best answers to the problems we face.” – Jamie Metzl

    Yeah right assholes!

    The PSA is a project of the Century Foundation, a “so called” nonprofit think tank. Just like PNAC

    And as for you my fellow 9-11 truth seekers, why the hell are you wasting your time bloging on a site that took me less than a 6 min net search to debunk! Nuff said… Much love

    9/11(the new Pearl Harbor) was perpetrated by both Christian and Jewish Zionists, that infiltrated the government decades ago as a pretext to invade Iraq since they want control of the massive oil reserves in the Middle East. It doesn’t matter anymore how the buildings in New York came down – what matters are the repercussions to America from that horrible day. The Patriot Act basically annulled the constitution. We are now prisoners in our own country people.

    The U.S. Government is a corrupt, warmongering, racist group of corporate misers. They care nothing about the American people, nor any other people for that matter. And I for one am tired of being Israel’s lapdog paying out my hard earned money in taxes to support their genocide in the middle east. The real criminals of America are not in our jails and prisons – they are sitting in their cushy offices in Washington. It is time to take these people out – for good, but it must be done ethically, politically and peacefully otherwise we would be no better than they are.

    Enough of this crap people – it is time to organize and mobilize before we loose our primary tool of communication, the internet. It could be gone as soon as next month, and it most likely it will be.

Certain sectors of the religious right are hi-jacking this cause for there own political ends, it stinks. Steven Jones’s only other academic paper is about how Jesus travelled to South America, it reads like a high school essay. Griffin rants on in writings elsewhere about the Christian duty to instigate a moral crusade against evil doers. If these people invested as much energy investigating corporate corruption, the industrial loby, and American foriegn policy, then I think we might be able to change something. All this 9/11 BS is just a defuser, a smoke screen, and it’s working very well; Bush et al are pleased, no doubt.

    Ha ha ha ha wow… come on what else do you guys expect from this kind of site. look at what its called “The Partnership for a Secure America” sounds alot like “SPP” (security and prosperity partnership – http://www.spp.gov) wow the address at the bottom of the page is just a few buildings down from PNAC’s (Project for a new American century) office building. I bet these guys lunch together? Ok I just found out some stuff…

    The Partnership for a Secure America is another think tank, just like PNAC.

    The 12 Republican board members are former Secretary of State Lawrence Eagleburger; ex-Sens. Warren Rudman (N.H.), Howard Baker (Tenn.), Nancy Kassebaum Baker (Kan.) and Jack Danforth (Mo.), who served as Bush’s U.N. ambassador and envoy to Sudan; former New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean; former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld; former U.S. Trade Representative Carla Hills; former National Security Adviser Robert McFarlane; Rita Hauser, chairwoman of the International Peace Academy; and John Whitehead, a former deputy secretary of state.

    The 11 Democratic board members are former Secretaries of State Madeleine Albright and Warren Christopher; former Defense Secretary William Perry; former National Security Advisers Samuel Berger, Zbigniew Brzezinski and Tony Lake; former Ambassador Richard Holbrook; former Sen. Gary Hart (Colo.); former Rep. Lee Hamilton (Ind.); former U.N. Ambassador Donald McHenry; and lawyer Ted Sorenson.

    Who owns this domain name? “Charles Andreae” now who is Charles Andreae?

    He’s, as stated above. A former chief of staff to Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) He also owns “Andreae and Associates, Inc” (Google it, for more info). We should all send him some love mail “Cnandreae@aol.com”

    May be a relative of “Count Charles Andreas Kinsky” … Defiantly of royal decent,

    Do a wikipedia search under “Count Charles Andreas Kinsky”

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

    “The former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom” or as I like me call him “the 33 degree freemason” Son of Lord Randolph Churchill… “Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill” came up in that search also. Bottom line the guy who owns this site is most defiantly elite!

    Here is a nice Partnership for a Secure America quote “Our organization is not created to criticize anyone but to develop a better process to get the right answers, We need to work to rebuild by having debates to find the best answers to the problems we face.” – Jamie Metzl

    Yeah right assholes!

    The PSA is a project of the Century Foundation, a “so called” nonprofit think tank. Just like PNAC

    And as for you my fellow 9-11 truth seekers, why the hell are you wasting your time bloging on a site that took me less than a 6 min net search to debunk! Nuff said… Much love

    I am so sick a tired of hearing the argument by defenders of the Official Story that these ‘conspiracy theories’ are somehow insulting to the victims and their families. What if (as mountains of evidence suggests), many of these theories are TRUE? How ‘insulting’ is it to want the TRUTH to be known about the most appalling atrocity in American history?

    Would you prefer victims’ families continue to be deluded by the outrageous lies of a government, and their deaths continue to be used as a propaganda tool to justify the slaughter of THOUSANDS MORE INNOCENT LIVES, in wars across the globe?

    Who are the ones being insulting in this picture?

    First of all stop using the victims of 9-11 to debunk us. It’s a disgrace to the memory of those died and their families to stop us from finding the truth. Second show me footage of a plane hitting the pentagon(you know the ENTIRE building is surrounded by camera’s you can see every angle of the building) they showed us endless footage of the planes flying into the WTC why not the pentagon as well???? Even on the news footage of outside of the pentagon there is a small hole in the building not nearly big enough for a plane and no plane debris on the ground explain this to me also. I mean you are so knowledgeable in the events that happened that day or else you wouldn’t have tried to discredit those who are.. OH I forget that’s how you get the sheep to follow. DISCREDIT THE TRUTH. Even you said the the government hasn’t always told the truth. And really why should they. They only hold our lives in their hands. Not to mention that they took an oath. Didn’t Bill Clinton almost get impeached for lying about cheating on his wife??????? If you asked lying about a country having wmd’s just to bomb it is a far worse lie!!

    Any way since you are so knowledgeable on these matters I would extremely appreciate an accurate response to the questions I have raised I’m leaving my real name and email address for you to respond (with fact, not redderick) Thank you Linda Dowd udontnome00420@yahoo.com

    Here we go, classic example of what I was talking about, do you serioulsy expect anyone with a brain to listen to a guy who talks about 9/11 in the context of ‘demonic consciousness’? Then Bushes defence might well be “the devil made me do it!”

    David Ray Griffin is presenting a workshop on the theme of 9/11 and Demonic Consciousness as part of The Eighth International Conference on Science and Consciousness, Santa Fe, NM, April 21-26, 2006.

    My thesis is that the attacks of 9/11 were products of demonic consciousness, with “the demonic” understood as an emergent reality that is diametrically opposed to the creative power of the universe and strong enough to threaten its purposes. To explain how demonic power can arise in a monotheistic universe. I use the philosophy of Alfred North Whitehead, with some help from Carl Jung. Then to explain how demonic evil arose historically, I employ ideas from Andrew Bard Schmookler’s Parable of the Tribes. Finally, arguing that this demonic consciousness now exists most powerfully in the USA, I suggest that a preeminent manifestation of it in our time was 9/11, orchestrated by the Bush-Cheney administration. In making this latter argument, I will draw on my two books on the subject: The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11 and The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions.
    Goal: To show the possibility of a view of demonic evil that is realistic — doing justice to the way in which our collective lives are dominated by values that can only be called demonic — without being mythological.

    Learning Objectives:

    To develop a basic understanding of how Whitehead’s version of theism allows for the rise of demonic evil,
    to develop a sense of how the ideas of Schmookler and Jung can explain the historical rise of demonic evil, and
    to develop a deeper appreciation of the relation between 9/11 and the American Empire.

    Ancient Burial Site Discovered

    Archeologists recently discovered more than a thousand corpses in a previously unknown part of Rome’s catacombs. The corpses, dating to the second century A.D. (the 100s), were dressed in fine clothes that were embroidered with gold thread. Christians at that time buried everyone elegantly in expectation of the resurrection.

    “These were not galleries or cubicles, but big rooms completely full of skeletons,” said Raffaella Giuliani, the chief inspector of the Roman catacombs. She said that workmen had to work very carefully with the corpses in order to excavate them without destroying them.

    A FEDERAL JUDGE HAS RULED, RENEW THE CALLS FOR IMPEACHMENT NOW

    On Friday, August 18th, I filed the necessary nominating petition signatures to compete for the Democratic party nomination for the U.S. House
    in the 3rd District of OH. Due to the sudden and unexpected withdrawal of our candidate, it has been determined that there must be a special election on September 15 to fill the election vacancy

    We now have a fresh opportunity to make the case to my constituents that the Bush administration must be peaceably removed from office. This is made all the more urgent by the ruling of a federal judge that the
    president has categorically broken the law in deliberately violating the 1st and 4th amendments to the Constitution by wiretapping American citizens without warrant….

    From a childhood friend’s comments on Some of The Above News’s campaign for the truth about 9/11:

    “….That is without a doubt the biggest bunch of drivel. How do you explain the planes that went down in Pennsylvania or into the Pentagon? And why should the government be responsible for the destruction of the World Trade Center when that is so crucial to American capitalism? They could have achieved the same effect with a lesser target. But the far left is doing its damage because I heard that a third of the American people believe this crap. What has always amazed me is that you believe it. You’re far too bright for that, I thought. But it strikes me that maybe you don’t believe it, but that it’s a useful tool.
    Well, after that cheery note, I’ll say TTFN (ta-ta for now).”

    EDITOR REPLIES:

    Thank you for the opportunity to enlighten you (and at the same time many of the slower members of the Some of The Above News subscriber family). As you know our motto is: “There are no dumb questions; only dumb questioners.”
    Your right-wingnut talking points suggest that you are probably an avid fan of the talking haircuts of the TeeVee News. While I don’t have time today to answer all these points, I will link you to some sites which will answer them, and most others you might come up with in your journey back to good old USofA reality.
    Give the soaps a rest, Dearie! Loosen up with the Loose Change crowd. Spend some quality time with http://www.911truth.org and your brain.
    Synchronistically enough, this very day I ran across the article excerpted below. I call your attention especially to this quote from it:
    “….After spending the better part of the last five years treating these theories with utmost skepticism, I have devoted serious time to actually studying them in recent months, and have also carefully watched several videos that are available on the subject. I have come to believe that significant parts of the 9/11 theories are true, and that therefore significant parts of the “official story” put out by the U.S. government and the 9/11 Commission are false….”
    You should take great comfort in the fact that this truth-seeker, a former CIA official, was also bamboozled by the corporate media for five years.
    Yours truly spent only about one and one-half years in the dark, probably mostly because I have not watched television since 1994, and because my reading and experiences had already made me skeptical of the government/media complex. Thus I was already more inclined to question government/media claims.
    You seem to believe that it is the “far left” that is convincing people, but one of 9/11 truth-seekers’ main frustrations is the EXTREME timidity, the church-mouse silence on the matter, of NEARLY ALL of the “left” “progressive” publications, pundits, websites, blogs, talk show hosts, etc. They have come to be called “the left gate-keepers.” Like the proverbial dog in the manger they not only neglect the vital information they have access to, but also keep it from everybody else. Fear is the main factor here: fear of losing their grants, being black-balled by colleagues and sources, being called “conspiracy theorists,” irresponsible, irrelevant, etc. And fear of being targeted for career and/or physical harassment or termination. Actually some of the most courageous and eloquent 9/11 “detectives” are conservatives, like Paul Craig Roberts, who was a high official in the Reagan administration, Wall Street Journal writer, etc.
    Thus your “useful tool” hypothesis don’t hunt.

    Another Ex-CIA Official Speaks Out for 9/11 Truth

    Stop Belittling the Theories About September 11

    by Bill Christison
    http://www.dissidentvoice.org
    August 14, 2006

    ….Let’s address the real issues here. Why is it important that we not let the so-called conspiracy theories surrounding 9/11 be drowned out? After spending the better part of the last five years treating these theories with utmost skepticism, I have devoted serious time to actually studying them in recent months, and have also carefully watched several videos that are available on the subject. I have come to believe that significant parts of the 9/11 theories are true, and that therefore significant parts of the “official story” put out by the U.S. government and the 9/11 Commission are false. I now think there is persuasive evidence that the events of September did not unfold as the Bush administration and the 9/11 Commission would have us believe. The items below highlight the major questions surrounding 9/11 but do not constitute a detailed recounting of the evidence available….

    ….This should be worked on at two different levels. At the first level, the objective should be long-term, centered on making a maximum effort to find out who the individuals and groups are that carried out the attacks in New York and Washington. Then, these people should be tried in an international court and, if possible, convicted and punished for causing so many deaths. Such a trial, accompanied by actual change in U.S. policies, would show that some people on this globe are at least trying to move closer to more just and decent behavior in human relationships around the world.

    At the second level, the short term, the task should be to immediately set to work as hard as is humanly possible to defeat in this year’s congressional election any candidate who refuses to support a no-holds-barred investigation of 9/11 by the Congress or a high-level international court. No more evidence than is now available is needed in order to begin this process.

    A manageable volume of carefully collected and analyzed evidence is already at hand on both items ONE and TWO above. Such evidence should be used right now to buttress charges that elements within the Bush administration, as well as possibly other groups foreign or domestic, were involved in a massive fraud against the American people, a fraud that has led to many thousands of deaths….

    CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN

    [This is excerpted from a seven-page transcript of a talk by John Perkins called "Confessions of an economic Hit Man" Given at South Hadley, MA, 11 January 2005, broadcast on ALTERNATIVE RADIO]

    John Perkins was a loan shark to developing countries. After a stint in the Peace Corps in Latin America, he went to work as an economic planner for an international consulting firm that was a front for the National Security Administration. His book, CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN is a bestseller.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    What we’re going to talk about is the post-World War II history of the world as I see it. and that history is essentially the story of empire. During the period since World War II, we’ve managed to create the world’s first truly global empire, and it’s the only empire in history that’s ever been created primarily without the military. It’s been created through economics, through economic hit men.

    And it’s a very subtle empire: it’s an empire that many of us who live in that empire don’t realize is an empire. We wouldn’t even call it that. When you create an empire as the Romans did or the Persians or the Chinese or the conquistadores or the British Empire or the French or the Dutch Empires, through military, everybody knows you’re doing it, because all your young men, and sometimes women, are going off to fight in the wars. But when you create an empire through economics, it’s very possible to keep that pretty secret from most of the people, most of the time. Nonetheless, we’ve created an empire….

    ….It was a change of consciousness. Civil movements are powerful. I think there are a few of you out there who may be familiar, I’ve written five other books before this one on indigenous people and shamanism. That was when I was doing the nonprofit work which was partly assuaging my guilt. I took bribes not to write this book back in the early 1990s and put most of the money in the nonprofit, which went to helping indigenous people in many of the countries that I had ripped off before. But what I’ve learned, I’ve worked with many, many indigenous countries around the world, the Bugis of Indonesia, the Bushmen, the Zulus, the people of the Asian Steppes, the Mayas, the Hopi, the Quechua, the Shuar, all of these people have prophecies. Every one of them that I know of has a prophecy that we are in a time of tremendous transition and a potential for great things to happen. I was with the Dalai Lama not long ago in Ladakh, and I just came back from Tibet a few months ago. And those prophecies are everywhere. I believe that we’re in a time when it’s been prophesied that this is the time for potential change, not that change will happen, but that the potential exists and we have to do it.

    And I believe what the indigenous people have always taught me throughout the years from many, many different cultures, that each one of us comes into this body at this time with a mission for a reason. And our schools often teach us to forget about that. But here we are now, at this very critical time. Each of you has come in here at this time for a reason with a mission, and you’re sitting in this room now for some reason. Something drew you here today. The idea of a confession of an economic hit man. I don’t think you’re all Catholic priests waiting for someone to confess into your ear out there. What drew you here? Why are you here this time? I think you’re here because you’re ready to see us move to this next step. You’re ready to see us realize the dream of our founding fathers, you’re ready to see us create a world that we’re going to be proud of.

    I’m going to turn 60 in a couple of weeks. I have a 22-year-old daughter. I don’t know how much time I’ve got left on this planet, but I do know that I want to devote all of what I’ve got left to making this a better world for her and her generation than the one I would be leaving her if I were to leave right now. So here we’re poised at this amazing time in history, a time that’s been prophesied by all these cultures. Here you are sitting here in the wealthiest country that history has ever known, tremendous resources, tentacles that reach to the farthest corners of the planet, the ability to do remarkable things, to create the world that we all want to see created. And so I submit to you that it’s now time to get off our butts and let’s get out there and change this world. Thank you.

    WE’RE ALL MINORITIES NOW!

    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. | Democracy in Crisis
    http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/072006A.shtml
    In an interview with
    Brad Friedman (of BradBlog),
    Robert F. Kennedy Jr. explains that “the Republican
    Party, the Republican National Committee, has been
    using old-fashioned, Jim Crow, apartheid-type
    maneuvers to steal the last two national elections.”

    Bradblog: In summary, how optimistic or
    pessimistic are you about our ability to get our
    country back?

    RFK JR.: Well, you know, my attitude is that I
    don’t try to predict the future, I can only say that
    those of us who care about this country have to keep
    fighting, and whether you think you’re gonna win or
    lose, you gotta just keep slugging and you gotta be
    ready to die with your boots on, because that’s what
    our forefathers did, they started a revolution, and
    they put their fortunes and their lives at stake. And
    we need to summon the same kind of courage from our
    generation, and demand that kind of courage from our
    leadership.

    BB: And we have to get that message out to the
    Democratic leadership as well.

    RFK JR.: And that’s what you guys are doing….

    have you even read the 9/11 Commission Report? it doesn’t “debunk” anything! it’s an “investigation” that does not even address the basic evidence. the commission was directed by someone with 15 years association with the Bush Administration. hhmmmm… i wonder if he has an biases or a hidden agenda..?? and, yeah, take your own advice and go talk to someone who was working in the pentagon that day. there are several pentagon employees who say IT WAS NOT A PLANE THAT HIT THE BUILDING. these employees never even saw wreckage that would indicate a passenger plane had just hit the building— and this was right after it had happened! you are right on one thing though, clearly reasonable people ARE taking the bait, but it’s not the “conspiracy theorists.” it’s the rest of the country who swallows the government’s propoganda instead of researching the truth for themselves. how long will you allow yourself to be spoonfed? do some research yourself and actually read the materials that you base your beliefs on.

    I see there are many very smart people here. Most agree evil exists. It is difficult to make the paradigm shift from innocence to paranoia. Paranoia definition: the ability to take seemingly unrelated events and come to a conclusion which is not obvious to the majority.

    Now, that we know the truth, what are we going to do about it? There are more of us than there are of them. First, please visit Aaron Russo’s AmericaFromFreedomtofascism.com and sign up to be a volunteer in your state. There is a plan and tie is short, but together we can do anything. Good is stronger than evil.
