Winston
Churchill rightly explained that "(a) lie gets halfway around the world
before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." Today, of course, it
circulates everywhere instantly.
Joseph
Goebbels, Nazi Germany's Reich Minister of Propaganda, once said:
"If
you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come
to believe it."
He
added that "truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension,
the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."
Corporate
media manipulators love a big story they can hype, distort, and falsify to
attract large audiences supportively for the worst imperial crimes.
In
fact, the bigger the event, the worse the reporting, sacrificing truth for
managed news and opinions everyone should understand and avoid.
Distinguished
scholars like David Ray Griffin exposed the 9/11 lie in his exhaustive research
and writings. In numerous books, articles, and lectures, he provided
convincing evidence about an inside job, not an attack carried out by
"crazed Arabs."
In an
April 5, 2006 lecture titled, "9/11: The Myth and the Reality," he
concluded saying:
"It
would seem, for many reasons, that the official story of 9/11, which has
served as a religious Myth in the intervening years (and still does), is a
myth in the pejorative sense of a story that does not correspond to
reality."
It was
Griffin's polite way of calling it a Big Lie, the biggest of our time.
On
September 11, 2008, his Global Research article headlined, "September
11, 2001: 21 Reasons to Question the Official Story about 9/11,"
including:
(1)
Although the Big Lie holds Osama bin Laden accountable, the FBI admitted it
"has no hard evidence connecting" him to the attack (NPHR 206-11).
(2)
Although the 9/11 myth claims "devout Muslims (were) ready to die as
martyrs to earn a heavenly reward, Mohamed Atta (their alleged leader) and
the other alleged hijackers regularly drank heavily, went to strip clubs, and
paid for sex (NPHR 153-55)."
(3)
Claimed cell phone calls from above 30,000 feet to relatives were falsified
as technology at the time made completely them impossible. Later, the FBI
changed its story, saying only two were made "from United 93 after it
descended to 5,000 feet (NPHR 111-17)."
(4)
Then "US Solicitor General Tel Olson's claim that his wife, Barbara
Olson, phoned him twice from AA 77," saying hijackers controlled the
plane, "was also contradicted by this FBI report," saying one call
she attempted was "unconnected" and lasted "0 seconds (NPRH
60-62)."
(5)
The FBI lied, saying Atta's left behind luggage included "decisive
evidence that al-Qaeda was responsible for the attacks....(NPHR
155-62)."
(6)
Evidence of alleged Al Qaeda videos, "passports discovered at the crash
sites, and a headband discovered at the crash site of United 93 (showed)
clear signs of having been fabricated (NPHR 170-73)."
(7)
Evidence shows hijackers WERE NOT on the planes. Moreover, if they broke
"into cockpits, the pilots would have 'squawked' the universal highjack
code," a simple two second act. However, none aboard the four flights
did it (NPHR 175-79).
(8)
Standard operating procedures to intercept "planes showing signs of an
in-flight emergency within about 10 minutes" weren't followed. Instead,
a "stand-down order prevented (them) from being carried out (NPHR 1-10,
81-84)."
(9)
Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta said Dick Cheney, inside the White
House bunker, "apparently confirmed a stand-down order at about
9:25AM," prior to an alleged plane striking the Pentagon. "Another
man has reported hearing a member of LAX Security learn that a stand-down
order (came) from the 'highest level' of the White House (NPHR 94-96)."
(10)
The 9/11 Whitewash Commission ignored Mineta's report, deleted it from the
official record, "and claimed that Cheney did not enter the (bunker)
until almost 10:00...." They lied (NPHR 91-94).
In
fact, Philip Zelikow, head of the 9/11 Commission, was a member of the Bush
White House.
(11)
The 9/11 Commission even contradicted what Cheney told Tim Russett on
"Meet the Press" on September 16 (NPHR 93).
(12)
Hani Hanjour, the so-called terrible pilot unable to fly a single-engine
aircraft, "could not possibly have executed the amazing (AA 77)
trajectory....to hit Wedge 1 of the Pentagon" that even experienced
airline pilots would have had trouble negotiating, and never would have tried,
fearing they'd crash and burn (NPHR 78-80).
(13)
Wedge 1 was the most implausible spot to be struck. It was furthest from
offices of Rumsfeld and Pentagon top brass, presumably the targeted
high-value officials.
It was
also "the only part of the Pentagon that had been reinforced." Its
reconstruction wasn't finished, so few people were there. And it presented
the most difficult flight path to execute (NPHR 76-78).
(14)
Pentagon officials lied, saying they had no warning of an approaching aircraft.
In fact, "a military E-4B - the Air Force's most advanced
communications, command, and control airplane - was flying over the White
House at the time." Astonishingly, the Pentagon "denied it belonged
to them (NPHR 96-98)."
Moreover,
the Pentagon is the most guarded structure in the world, complete with
advanced radar and surface-to-air missiles, able to intercept and destroy any
approaching threat.
(15)
Without explanation, the Secret Service let George Bush remain at a Sarasota,
FL school for 30 minutes after learning the second tower was struck, ignoring
standard procedures to secure his safety as presumably high-value officials
were targeted.
Only
advance knowledge assured them of no danger at a time media reports
circulated about America being under attack.
On
9/11's first anniversary, a new White House story emerged, falsely claiming
Bush left the school immediately. "The lie was told in major newspapers
and on MSNBC and ABC television (NHHR 129-31)."
(16)
Their rigid steel columns made it impossible for the towers to crumble, let
alone "at virtually free-fall speed - unless (they) had been sliced by
means of explosives." In other words, claims about impacting planes and
resulting fires being responsible are "scientifically impossible (NPHR
12-25)."
(17)
Other features of the towers' destruction "can be explained only in
terms of powerful explosives." They include "horizontal ejections
of steel beams, the melting of steel, and the sulfidation and thinning of
steel." Moreover, "fires could not have come within 1,000 degrees
Fahrenheit of the temperature needed to melt steel (NPHR 30-36)."
(18)
New York Fire Department "oral histories shortly after 9/11"
provided testimonies of "having witnessed explosions in the Twin Towers.
Others toppling WTC 7 as well as the towers were also reported by city
officials, WTC employees, and journalists (NPHR 27-30, 45-48, 51)."
(19)
On 9/11, Mayor Rudy Giuliani told" told ABC News anchor Peter Jennings
that he was informed that the towers would collapse, despite no basis to
think so. In fact, the so-called information came from his own Office of
Emergency Management that either falsified it or had advance knowledge of the
plot (NPH 40).
(20)
"NIST, which produced the official reports on the Twin Towers and
(recently) WTC 7, has been fully hijacked from the scientific to the
political realm...." In fact, its "scientists" are "hired
guns (NPHR 11, 238-51)."
(21)
Growing numbers of "physicists, chemists, architects, engineers, pilots,
former military officers, and former intelligence officers" reject the
official 9/11 myth as a bald-faced lie (NPHR xi).
The
Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST -
formerly the National Bureau of Standards, NBS) is a measurement standards
laboratory, expected to produce scientifically verifiable, not falsified,
analysis.
In
other writing, Griffin exposed its 9/11 coverup role, saying it suggested
that "fire-induced collapses of large steel-frame buildings (like the
twin towers) are normal events," when they knew it's impossible.
NIST
was also tasked to provide "the definitive explanation" of WTC 7's
collapse. Again, coverup was its unstated mandate.
It
"committed two kinds of scientific fraud: Ignoring relevant evidence
(showing explosives were used) and falsifying evidence."
For
example, it suppressed evidence revealed in a peer-reviewed University of
Copenhagen report, showing "WTC dust contained unreacted nanothermite.
Unlike ordinary thermite, which is an incendiary, nanothermite is a high
explosive."
Short
of verifiable insider confessions, its presence is as close as it gets to
smoking gun proof of controlled demolitions, destroying the twin towers and
WTC 7, not fires or other causes.
Scholars
for 9/11 Truth
James
Fetzer founded Scholars for 9/11 Truth, a non-partisan association of
faculty, students, and scholars, dedicated to exposing official lies,
removing the shroud of deceit, and revealing truths behind 9/11.
Access
his site through the following link:
http://911scholars.org/
A
section on it headlines "Why Doubt 9/11," providing 20 examples to
debunk the official lie. They include:
(1)
The Twin Towers were built to sustain impacts similar to large planes
striking them.
(2)
Most jet fuel burned "in the first fifteen seconds or so. Below the 96th
floor in the North Tower and the 80th in the South, those buildings were
stone cold steel, unaffected by" fires above.
(3)
Steel melts at 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit, "about 1,000 degrees higher
than the maximum" burning jet fuel produces.
(4)
"Underwriters Laboratory certified the" building steel to be able
to handle temperatures up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit "for three or four
hours without any significant effects."
The
ignited 500 degree fires were more suitable for roasting marshmallows than
melting steel.
(5)
Had steel melted or weakened the buildings, "the affected floors would
have displayed completely different behavior," far short of collapsing
that was impossible.
(6)
Even when the top 30 floors of the South Tower "pivoted and began to
fall to the side when the floors beneath gave way, it wasn't enough "to
exert downward pressure on the lower 80 floors."
Moreover,
the top 16 floors of the North Tower, "as one unit of downward
force," was offset by "199 units of upward force....counteract(ing)
it."
(7)
Last man out of the North Tower William Rodriguez "reported massive
explosions in the sub-basements that (caused) extensive destruction...."
(8) He
said "the explosion occurred prior to reverberations from upper floors,
a claim...substantiated by a Craig Furlong and Gordon Ross" study,
titled "Seismic Proof: 9/11 Was an Inside Job," showing the
"explosions actually took place as much as 14 and 17 seconds before the
presumptive airplane impacts."
(9)
"Heavy-steel-construction buildings like" the towers are virtually
immune from "pancake collapse," unless rigged explosives cause it.
(10)
Both towers collapsing from fires or on their own any other way at free-fall
speed is impossible.
(11)
Mechanical Engineering Professor Judy Wood compared the phenomenon of the
towers collapsing to "two gigantic trees turning to sawdust from the top
down."
(12)
WTC-7 was a "classic controlled demolition at 5.20PM...."
(13)
The twin towers were "destroyed by different modes of demolition."
(14)
"The hit point at the Pentagon was too small to accommodate a 100-ton
airliner with a 125-foot wingspan and a tail that stands 44-feet
high...."
Moreover,
the debris found had "no wings, no fuselage, no seats, no bodies, no
luggage, no tail," and no engines.
In
other words, no plane struck the Pentagon. A likely cruise missile was used,
a weapon unavailable to alleged terrorists anywhere, let alone the ability to
launch one.
(15)
Pentagon videotapes show no Boeing 757 striking the building.
(16)
The "official trajectory - flying at high speed barely above ground
level - (was) physically impossible..." It was aerodynamically
inconceivable to negotiate even for experienced airline pilots. None, of
course, would have tried.
(17)
Flight recorder data given to Pilots for 9/11 truth by the NTSB
"corresponds to a plane with a different approach and altitude...."
If followed by a Boeing 757, it would have overflown the Pentagon, not hit
it.
(18)
If Flight 93 crashed as reported, efforts would have been made to find
survivors post-haste. Instead, coverup to suppress the truth followed,
suggesting an incident other than reported.
(19)
The alleged hijackers had minimal competence to fly single-engine aircraft,
let alone be able to handle commercial jets. Moreover, their "names are
not on any original, authenticated passenger manifest."
In
fact, several "turned up alive and well and living in the Middle
East." Washington never even produced their tickets as evidence because
they weren't aboard the planes and had nothing to do with the incidents.
(20)
George Bush later acknowledged that Saddam Hussein "had nothing to do
with 9/11. The Senate Intelligence Committee" said he had no connection
to Al Qaeda. Moreover, the FBI admitted having no evidence linking bin Laden
to 9/11.
Architects
& Engineers for 9/11 Truth
AE911Truth
is a "non-partisan association of architects, engineers and affiliates
dedicated to exposing the falsehoods and to revealing truths about" the
Big 9/11 lie, substituting myth for reality.
Its
growing membership "is devoted to:
(1)
Dispelling misinformation with scientific facts and forensic evidence
(2)
Educating and motivating thousands of architects and engineers and the public
at large
(3)
Procuring a truly independent 9/11 investigation with subpoena power
(4)
Achieving 9/11 Truth mainstream coverage
Access
AE911Truth's site through the following link:

Growing
numbers worldwide now dispute the official myth, including Muslims for 9/11
Truth, anyone can connect with through its site, accessed through the
following link:
http://m911t.blogspot.com/
More
than any others worldwide, Muslims unfairly paid the greatest price -
vilified, persecuted and attacked for their faith, ethnicity, locations in
resource rich countries, and domestically for political advantage.
The
9/11 lie bears main responsibility for launching a decade of war, persecution
and other forms of abuse. Stopping it ahead is job one. Revealing the truth
and holding those responsible is how.
In his
new book titled, "9/11 - Ten Years Later," David Ray Griffin said
the following:
"Getting
the 9/11 lie exposed is essential. One obvious reason is simple
justice," not only for 9/11 family members never told the truth or
compensated in whatever way possible.
"There
also needs to be justice in the sense of punishment for those who engineered
this crime," including top government and military officials. They
perhaps consider themselves patriots. They're, in fact, "guilty of
murder and treason."
Revealing
9/11 truth is also vital "for the sake of preventing further crimes
against democracy."
"Many
lines of evidence show that 9/11 was an inside job." It's virtually
indisputable. As a result, it needs to outed so everyone knows to give
"never again" real meaning.
A
Final Comment
9/11
was the transformative event of our time, for ill, not good. It sparked
multiple wars producing more of them, as well as repressive domestic
crackdowns.
It
also launched a Global War on Terror (GWOT), another on truth, human and
civil rights, social justice, rule of law principles, and democratic values
wherever America and its NATO partners show up.
September
11, 2011, will mark the 10th anniversary of a day those old enough won't ever
forget. Nor should they forgive political Washington for using it to wage war
on humanity.
All
wars are for wealth and power, never for liberation or other social justice
reasons.
Debunking
the official 9/11 lie is a vital first step to freeing America of a
malignancy that's destroying it and free people everywhere in its grip.
Mark
October 6 on your calendar. Stand with most Americans for "human needs,
not corporate greed."
"Stop
the Machine! Create a New World!" Head to the nation's capital where
"hundreds of thousands are expected" to "occupy Freedom Plaza
indefinitely until their demands have been met," including:
(1)
Taxing the rich and corporations.
(2)
Ending imperial wars, bringing US forces home, and cutting military spending.
(3)
Protecting America's social safety net, especially Social Security, Medicare,
and Medicaid, as well as public and private pensions.
(4)
Ending corporate and other forms of welfare for the rich at the expense of
most others.
(5)
Transitioning to a clean energy economy, as well as reversing environmental
degradation.
(6)
Protecting worker rights, including collective bargaining, decent wages and
benefits, and initiatives to create jobs.
(7)
Getting money out of politics, and
(8)
Supporting social justice for everyone, not just too-big-to-fail banker
crooks, other corporate favorites and America's aristocracy.
Transforming
America starts with putting our bodies on the line for change, and not
quitting no matter the odds.
There's
no other way because the alternative is too grim to accept what only grassroots
activism can achieve.
