Xiv Years Of The 911 Lie

I guess today I am doing a show that I can’t tell if it is expected of me, or it is a matter of coercion, guilt, peer pressure or something else. I suppose we have to go through the circular argument of what happened or what really happened 14 years ago in New York and at the Pentagon.

Today as I was watching the morning news, I got the impression that the events of 911 and the remembrances of what happened have subsided to a degree. It seems that the media is expecting us to go on with our lives.

However, there is still a modicum of ham-fisted remembrance ploys that are provided by opportunistic presidential hopefuls like Chris Christie or war hawks like John McCain who still feel that in order to push an agenda of maudlin sympathy or never ending war and the stripping of human rights, it is important that we do not forget what happened 14 years ago.

For example at the Republican debates, Megyn Kelly pulled the terrorist attack card and directed it at Chris Christie and Rand Paul. Christie leveraged the 911 event and the way he handled it as U.S. attorney and used it as a reason to be elected. The whole time it was a contentious spectacle with Rand Paul that seemed to be so hollow and pointless.

Especially when Christie lied about the dates he was made U.S. attorney in order for effect – he put his appointment closer to September 11, 2001 when in reality George W. Bush announced in December of that year that he would be appointed to serve as U.S. Attorney in 2002.

That alone made me angry that there are still those who want to play on our sympathies in order to use the nearly 3000 dead Americans as political footballs to justify things like the Patriot Acts 1 and 2 and the eventual NSA spying on the American people.

It is as if we will never forget and that the memory will go away any time soon. The pain is relived every year. The loss of a friend, a business partner, the call from a girlfriend who decided it was time to break up so she could be with her family, a neighbor whose father died that day and another neighbor who lost her baby when the towers fell.

Yes, all of these things come up to meet us every time we are told to remember and I become agitated and bitter and want to just scream. I want to cry out and say hear me, understand me, don’t abandon me or write me off. All of those feelings rush in like flood and the gates can’t hold back the tears, the anger and the disgust.

However, the hypnotic control mechanism that is the 911 attacks has wore off on me and I am more cynical now whenever I hear someone in politics play on the people’s sympathy in order to gain political points or push their various agendas that promote war, and the police state.

The truth is 911 is not only the number to call in an emergency it is also the number that pushes your emotional button and while you stop and ponder the trauma, you begin to lose your ability to think.

It is there that someone insists on inserting some knee-jerk solution or asks for your campaign contribution.

When those who question the official account of what happened that day, or is cynical and skeptical of the details, there is still a consensus that will automatically say “I was there and I can tell you it was not an inside job or a “conspiracy.”

What people who say they were there or watched the continuous coverage on television that in times of trauma, people do not think rationally.

When our emotions are fully engaged, they can instantly overwhelm our judgment.

Keep in mind the hysteria and vulnerability can actually affect some people more harshly than others. They are governed by emotions, and fall into the trap of something called pathological altruism or empathy on steroids.

Many people in the United States fell into this trap and this is why we were compelled to cooperate with the government removing our civil rights and sealing it with some emotionally charged country song , tribute and bumper sticker patriotism.

The altruism bias continues in this country, and is being disguised as conservative values, and liberal guilt. Research has shown the near impossibility of reaching biased individuals using rational approaches, no matter their level of education or intelligence—because to question the 911 attacks is akin to being less patriotic—or not being a true American.

There was nothing patriotic about what our government did after the attacks of 911. How can we be so blind to the actions of our government after the attacks? We have now seen fourteen years of wars, interventions, assassinations, torture, kidnappings, black sites, the growth of the American national security state to monumental proportions, and the spread of Islamic extremism across much of the Greater Middle East and Africa.

Still, to question these actions can trigger an altruism bias… that this is for the greater good of our country and to not support it puts your patriotism into question.

It puts your emotional response to the attacks into question. There is an amount of peer pressure and overzealous nationalism that attempt to hide the fact that after 14 years that our government has not given us the “all clear” – they simply continue to use the event as a way to justify their psychopathic ends.

The 911 attacks have given our culture a mounting sense of fear.

Fourteen years of the fear culture. We have had alarmist lies and fake emergencies that the government and intelligence agencies love to tell us about so that they can justify police checks and door to door shelter in place exercises.

All the while we thank them for their threatening maneuvers by chanting inappropriately “USA USA USA” like we are all part of some football team and that someone has made a touchdown.

We have been using the word “homeland” to describe our country for the last 14 years. What can be more un-American than using a term that sounds more like a phrase that would be used in pre-world war II Germany, or used by someone as crazy as Mussolini or Stalin?

Does it trample on our empathetic nerves to decide that—the neuro-linguistic programming the government has devised has put us on the path to a more clandestine despotism?

Not to mention the oh so patriotic method of creating a panopticon of cameras and phone tapping all attached to the need for a surveillance state that according to Ed Snowden was in play for over a decade. Of course there are still a few people that somehow believe that if someone is a whistle blower against constitutional malfeasance that it makes them a traitor.

We have the attacks of 911 to thank for that and for the politicians who continually use it as a crutch to justify their incompetence and corruptness.

We can thank people like Zbigniew Brzezinski who befriended a so-called freedom fighter Osama bin Laden, that according to George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and the FBI either did or did not mastermind the attacks.

Fourteen years after the attacks, we can also contemplate the magic act that took place where 19 suicidal hijackers, most of them Saudis , pulled off the crime of the century without any help from any other governments—and without the intelligence that in the past protected this country from something so horrific.

The 9/11 attacks represented precision targeting of a kind that American leaders would only dream of in the years to follow.

Or, was it in the year prior?

In the 14 years that have past have we forgotten that Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and others that similarly — in method, if not entirely in substance – wrote a manifesto that became a strict blueprint for the expansion of the Military Industrial Complex and the advanced police state in the United States?

The manifesto was called the Project for the New American Century, “Strengthening America’s Defenses” and it was a blueprint for the police state. It called for the necessity of Military spending, the Militarization of space. It called for the toppling of regimes, the offensive stance of our military against Central Asia and the Middle East and the willingness to use nuclear weapons to control the world’s resources.

The problem that faced the authors of this radical plan is that the American people would not stand for this. There is no way Americans would stand for this radical change. Americans knew of the warnings of President Eisenhower and his exhortation to not allow the growth of the Military Industrial Complex.

All that Dick Cheney and the planners needed was a body count.

All that was missing was what one of the PNAC planners called a “Pearl Harbor-type event” to galvanize public support for unlimited military action. Later the planners got what they had written about as planes were hijacked by terrorists. Two met their targets in New York at the World Trade center, the other hit the Pentagon.

PNAC was established in order to send a clear message that the United States was no longer going to be a country on the defensive. As David Morrison wrote, PNAC was established in order to encourage the government to maintain or even increase military expenditure to enhance US dominance and deter rivals. The hard part, according to PNAC, was to convince the American people that it was necessary. In Section 5 of their plans to increase spending for the military industrial complex entitled Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century’, it clearly states its intent:

“This report proceeds from the belief that America should seek to preserve and extend its position of global leadership by maintaining the preeminence of U.S. military forces. Today, the United States has an unprecedented strategic opportunity. It faces no immediate great-power challenge; it is blessed with wealthy, powerful and democratic allies in every part of the world; it is in the midst of the longest economic expansion in its history; and its political and economic principles are almost universally embraced. At no time in history has the international security order been as conducive to American interests and ideals. The challenge for the coming century is to preserve and enhance this ‘American peace’.”

“Yet unless the United States maintains sufficient military strength, this opportunity will be lost. And in fact, over the past decade, the failure to establish a security strategy responsive to new realities and to provide adequate resources for the full range of missions needed to exercise U.S. global leadership has placed the American peace at growing risk. This report attempts to define those requirements.”

The report went on to propose a revolution in US military capabilities, including increased global missile defense which is to “provide a secure basis for U.S. power projection around the world.”

The report then falls into a bit of reverse causality when it says: This “process of transformation is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor”.

A year later on September 11th, 2001 a “new Pearl Harbor” did indeed occur. That fact that this uncanny coincidence has never been investigated nor has the Project for the New American Century and their agenda never been questioned for “intent” is beyond me.

The paper also favored the idea that biological weapons would be a very interesting prospect for an event.

“Advanced forms of biological warfare that can “target” specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool” –PNAC

In 14 years did we forget the Anthrax being sent to various newspaper agencies and political foes of the Bush administration?

It was all in the PNAC plan.

It makes you question your own memory when you consider that perhaps there are crisis talks about what kind of manufactured crisis is to be initiated and when it will be carried out. The manufactured crisis must also have maximum impact in order to create a climate of fear and absolute urgency to create a fear-based consensus that will demand a solution as easy and as fast as possible.

Now after 14 years, isn’t it uncanny how there are still a few people out there that can’t allow themselves to think that the attacks on 911 were an inside job?

The whole scenario was put into writing a year before it happened.

In 14 years, I hope we have not forgotten about Building 7. While the north and south towers plummeting to the ground got all of the attention there have been countless attempts to show that Building 7 was brought down in controlled demolition, the arguments have been made that there was a fire in Building 7 and this is why it came down.

Even though the story of a fire bringing down Building 7 does not measure up to scrutiny, and that there is video evidence that shows network news organizations reporting on controlled demolition of the building before it came down the gullible will say that fires caused the free-fall demolitions of buildings.

There have been architects and engineers who have now questioned the claims. However in 14 years there has not been major media news outlet willing to have them be heard.

There is also the case of Larry Silverstein, the man who had controlling interest of the World Trade Center properties. He stated in a PBS documentary that the notified the New York firefighters to “pull” the buildings, meaning to bring them down.

He later denied that he demanded that the buildings be pulled.

However, if you can jog your memory back 14 years, you probably won’t be able to remember details like how the Federal Emergency Management Agency was called into New York on Monday September 10th 2001 for an exercise that was not revealed to personnel. FEMA spokesman Tom Kenney, in an interview conducted by Dan Rather on Wednesday, September 12th, 2001, stated that FEMA was deployed to New York on Monday night, September 10th, to be ready to go into action on Tuesday morning, September 11th. FEMA had to hurry to come up with reason that he made the statement.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency has now claimed it did not have urban search and rescue teams in place in New York City prior to the Sept. 11 attacks FEMA officials said Kenney, in the heat of the moment, misstated his team’s arrival date. However, in the interview Kenney is complaining about not getting full access to the site until “today”. Kenney talks about a Monday, a Tuesday, and “today.”

However, they are lying.

In the transcript of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s testimony to the 9-11 Commission during the May 18-19, 2004 hearings he stated that command center was established on Pier 92 prior to the attacks because of a bio terror drill that was being carried out:

“The reason Pier 92 was selected as a command center was because on the next day, on September 12, Pier 92 was going to have a drill, it had hundreds of people here, from FEMA, from the Federal Government, from the State, from the State Emergency Management Office, and they were getting ready for a drill for biochemical attack. So that was gonna be the place they were going to have the drill. The equipment was already there, so we were able to establish a command center there, within three days, that was two and a half to three times bigger than the command center that we had lost at 7 World Trade Center. And it was from there that the rest of the search and rescue effort was completed.”

So why would FEMA deny that their presence in New York the day before the attack?

Was there inside knowledge that the buildings would be attacked and that there would be a major simultaneous controlled demolition of the buildings?

Giuliani also had stated that he was informed prior to the north and south tower collapse that they would indeed collapse. He was actually caught in Building 7 and was rescued before it was demolished. They were ordered to leave the area because they were told the towers would collapse.

You see, after 14 years these architects of terror knew just what buttons to push, and you should be angry that they continue to push them because they play on your good nature.

It is important to realize that after 14 years, the government and the state media frame the 911 debate in purely emotional terms. The tragedy is now blurring, the human casualties are well known and after 14 years people who are awake are now beginning to wonder if anyone is going to give a balanced investigation of the attacks.

The 911 topic has always been muddled in terrorist intent and never investigated as a crime. There have been various conspiracy theories from missing planes, to particle beam weapons used, and Thermite ignition to bring down the towers. These were spun because the government had no regard for closure on the matter; they wanted to see just how much mileage the event could get on the road to its incremental tyranny.

You see 14 years ago, a corrupt and organized criminal element inside our borders had a plan. They knew they couldn’t carry out out alone—so they devised a way to get you to carry it out for them.

After 14 years of living the 911 lie, it is about time that we decide to stop.
