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."

Conspiracy Uncovered

Cigarette companies secretly formed a group which they called the National Association of State Fire Marshals to push for flame retardants in furniture. Companies that manufacture flame retardants formed an equally deceptive "advocacy" group that they called Citizens for fire safety to push for laws requiring furniture flame retardants.

These secret alliances pushing an agenda with hidden motives are conspiracies. They happen all the time. Yet, we are told, it is crazy to believe that people get together in secret to plan and to manipulate policy to suit their purposes.

Interesting comments. Are people growing more skeptical of the government's conspiracy theory?

"Conspiracy theory": the intellectual equivalent of a four-letter word

"'Conspiracy theory' has become the intellectual equivalent of a four-letter word: it's something people say when they don't want you to think about what's really going on."

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."

9/11: The Mystery of the Melted Steel

From the New York Times, February 2, 2002

"Perhaps the deepest mystery uncovered in the investigation involves
extremely thin bits of steel collected from the trade towers and from 7
World Trade Center, a 47-story high rise that also collapsed for
unknown reasons. The steel apparently melted away, but no fire in any of
the buildings was believed to be hot enough to melt steel outright.

"A preliminary analysis of the steel at Worcester Polytechnic
Institute using electron microscopes suggests that sulfur released
during the fires -- no one knows from where -- may have combined with
atoms in the steel to form compounds that melt at lower temperatures.
