The Government's Tale of 9/11 Isn't True

The government's tale of 9/11 isn't true.

Q&A: A New Look at the 9/11 Commission - TIME

"You have someone like Sandy Berger, who by all accounts is a decent guy, taking rather extreme measures to remove documents from the National Archives and hide them at a construction site where he could retrieve them later and destroy them. There were interviews made at the FAA's New York center the night of 9/11 and those tapes were destroyed. The CIA tapes of the interrogations were destroyed. The story of 9/11 itself, to put it mildly, was distorted and was completely different from the way things happened." John Farmer, senior counsel, 9/11 commission

"One of the harmful byproducts of not telling the truth about what happened is that it did fuel all sorts of conspiracy theories about what might have happened. If what the government is telling you isn't true, then the truth could be anything. But my experience suggests that government lacks competence to carry off an elaborate conspiracy like what is being talked about with 9/11. I think there is evidence that the truth wasn't told and that at least some of that was deliberate — but it did not occur on any sort of scale that people are imagining." John Farmer

Donna Marsh O'Connor, 9/11 Mothers, Begs Press to Investigate

"If I question anything about the official story, I am called a 'conspiracy theorist.... My kids have been loved by some, and shunned by others because their mother is a conspiracy theorist. I am not a theorist. I was a theorist at Syracuse University for 22 years when I taught writing and rhetoric and American public discourse, and I can't do that anymore.... This government has made me a victim of conspiracy theories because they haven't answered fully or allowed anyone to ask the true questions of September 11 and that's what I'm asking from you today. For exposure. We are not crazy. We have questions. We demand answers. I don't want to be paternalized by my government."

War on Terror logic and the Saudis - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com:

The only foreign government which likely had any connection to 9/11 is the one which is the least likely to be attacked by the U.S.

9/11 Media Blackout

Environmentalists Against War:

Pentagon Papers Whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg Says Government Ordered Media Blackout on 9/11 Questions

"It is not just the corporate media. I have had the owners of highly-regarded alternative media companies confide in me privately that they don't believe the government's version of 9/11, but that are scared of discussing it publicly because they don't want to be tarred-and-feathered for discussing "conspiracy theories."

"Even writers like Glenn Greenwald -- who are good on so many issues -- won't touch it.

"Of course -- as Ellsberg points out -- "Secrets can be kept reliably ... for decades ... even though they are known to thousands of insiders." Indeed, the whole label "conspiracy theory" is just an attempt to diffuse criticism of the powerful.

People used to understand this. As the quintessential American writer Mark Twain said in a more rational age:
'A conspiracy is nothing but a secret agreement of a number of men for the pursuance of policies, which they dare not admit in public.'"

Truth Has Fallen and Has Taken Liberty With It - PaulCraigRoberts.org

Truth Has Fallen and Has Taken Liberty With It - PaulCraigRoberts.org:

"America’s fate was sealed when the public and the anti-war movement bought the government’s 9/11 conspiracy theory. The government’s account of 9/11 is contradicted by much evidence. Nevertheless, this defining event of our time, which has launched the US on interminable wars of aggression and a domestic police state, is a taboo topic for investigation in the media. It is pointless to complain of war and a police state when one accepts the premise upon which they are based."

License to lie | Salon Books

License to lie | Salon Books:

"Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld, Rice and Rove pulled off a much more sophisticated job: a bureaucratic coup d'etat. Without firing a shot, they silenced critics, squelched unwanted facts, and created their own false but salable reality. As a result, they were able to launch a war justified by lies and driven by nothing more than Bush's ignorant whim. It is, truly, the heist of the century."

"At this point, one could forgive readers for asking, 'How many more damning portraits of the Bush administration do we need?' From yellowcake to Joe Wilson to Abu Ghraib, the list of Bush scandals and outrages is endless, but nothing ever seems to happen. As the journalist Mark Danner has pointed out, the problem is not lack of information: The problem is that Americans can't, or won't, acknowledge what that information means."

General of all American Intelligence: 911 was a fraud! - YouTube

Major General Albert "Bert" N. Stubblebine III, head of all intelligence, regarding 9/11:

Paul Craig Roberts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Of the 9/11 Commission Report he wrote in 2006, "One would think that if the report could stand analysis, there would not be a taboo against calling attention to the inadequacy of its explanations." (see Criticisms of the 9/11 Commission Report). He has reported what he says are findings by experts that conclude there is a large energy deficit in the official account of the collapse of the three WTC buildings, and says that this deficit remains unexplained.
Roberts comments on the "scientific impossibility" of the official explanation for the events on 9/11 and says those engineers and physicists who accept this theory are wrong. On August 18, 2006, he wrote:
I will begin by stating what we know to be a solid incontrovertible scientific fact. We know that it is strictly impossible for any building, much less steel columned buildings, to “pancake” at free fall speed. Therefore, it is a non-controversial fact that the official explanation of the collapse of the WTC buildings is false... Since the damning incontrovertible fact has not been investigated, speculation and “conspiracy theories” have filled the void.[13]
On the (back) cover of Debunking 9/11 Debunking (2007) he is quoted:
Professor Griffin is the nemesis of the 9/11 cover-up. This new book destroys the credibility of the NIST and Popular Mechanics reports and annihilates his critics.Book Cover Quote
Roberts adding that the so-called neoconservatives intended to use a renewal of the fight against terrorism to rally the American people around the fading Republican Party. "The administration figures themselves and prominent Republican propagandists ... are preparing us for another 9/11 event or series of events," he said. "You have to count on the fact that if al Qaeda is not going to do it, it is going to be orchestrated."

Post 9/11: A Compliant Press

Bill Moyers on how 9/11 subdued the press. As Moyers says here, the White House could not have led us into such a disastrous war without "a compliant press willing to pass on their propaganda as news and cheer them on." "It's our job to report the news, not fabricate it; that's the government's job." V for Vendetta

Helen Thomas says that the press corps was afraid to ask hard questions after 9/11 for fear of being perceived as unpatriotic. They were in a coma.
