What do we know about 9/11?

Posted on 09:10 by Unknown

1) Multiple prior warnings and intelligence

On August 6th 2001, GW Bush received an intelligence briefing in the Oval Office warning of an imminent major terrorist attack on American soil involving hijacking commercial airliners and using them as "flying bombs". See 1.

They tried to warn us. 
Known Foreign Intelligence warnings in the months leading up to the attacks. 
http://s3.amazonaws.com/911timeline/main/foreignwarnings.html 

Other countries warning of this imminent terrorist attack include :-
the UK
Germany
Jordan
Russia
Israel
Egypt
France

On top of these warnings from foreign countries, the CIA and FBI also had extensive intelligence of their own of an imminent major terrorist attack.

Why was no action taken to beef up basic airport security in the face of so much intelligence?
Why was no action taken to beef up the "over 70 lines of FBI enquiry"?
Why were FBI investigations prior to 9/11 called off?

How could anyone NOT step up airport security in the face of so many warnings and SO MUCH intel? 

This was why the CIA guys were apoplectic and wanted a transfer out of the Counter Terrorism branch as per this NYT article 

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/11/opinion/the-bush-white-house-was-deaf-to-9-11-warnings.html 

And the C.I.A. repeated the warnings in the briefs that followed. Operatives connected to Bin Laden, one reported on June 29, expected the planned near-term attacks to have “dramatic consequences,” including major casualties. On July 1, the brief stated that the operation had been delayed, but “will occur soon.” Some of the briefs again reminded Mr. Bush that the attack timing was flexible, and that, despite any perceived delay, the planned assault was on track. 

Yet, the White House failed to take significant action. Officials at the Counterterrorism Center of the C.I.A. grew apoplectic. On July 9, at a meeting of the counterterrorism group, one official suggested that the staff put in for a transfer so that somebody else would be responsible when the attack took place, two people who were there told me in interviews. The suggestion was batted down, they said, because there would be no time to train anyone else. 

2. Buildings do not collapse at free fall speed of their own accord 

The twin towers collapsed at free fall speed (as near as makes no difference).
This is evidenced by detailed video footage and seismic data.
Buildings cannot collapse at free fall speed without some kind of controlled demolition.

Why was the fact that the buildings collapsed at free fall speed excluded from the contents of the 9/11 commission report?

How were the controlled demolition charges placed on the steel beams in the twin towers?
We know there was "maintenance" work in the weeks prior to 9/11 which allowed access to the steel beams.

Who set off the charges for the controlled demolition?

Building 7 was ordered to be pulled down by Rudy Giuliani.
This building also fell at free fall speed from a controlled demolition.
The controlled demolition charges were in place before 9/11 (there was not enough time to place them in the building on 9/11 itself).

The BBC reported on Live TV, that Building 7 had collapsed while the building was still standing (you can see building 7 still standing behind the reporter).
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6mxFRigYD3s
How did the BBC know that building 7 was going to be pulled before it happened?

We know that there were explosions immediately prior to the buildings collapse; and several injuries from those explosions; in the basements of the twin towers.
Why was this evidence not included in the 9/11 commission report?
Why were the eye witnesses to these explosions not called to testify?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhGcBxONSvc

3. Why were the steel beams from the twin towers smuggled out of the country within 2 weeks of 911? 

Never before in history has a skyscraper collapsed just from fire.
The buildings were designed to withstand the impact from up to 6 aircraft simultaneously, only 1 aircraft hit each tower.
Jet fuel only burns at about 700 degrees C.
Temperatures of 1200 degrees C are required to weaken steel.

You would of thought that the American government would be anxious to know why the buildings collapsed when they had been designed to withstand the impact from multiple aircraft.
Why were samples of the steel beams not sent to every major research facility, of major universities, in the US to understand what had gone wrong and to prevent such a disaster from ever happening again?

Why were the steel beams smuggled out of the country very quickly to prevent this from being done?

4. 7 out of 10 of the 9/11 commissioners now disagree with the contents of the official 9/11 report. 

The report's author is particularly scathing

The Attorney General (John Farmer) who drafted the 9/11 report for the 9/11 commission now says that the report is based on government lies and is almost entirely untrue.


(CINCINNATI, Ohio) - In John Farmer’s book: “The Ground Truth: The Story Behind America’s Defense on 9/11″, the author builds the inescapably convincing case that the official version... is almost entirely untrue...
The 9/11 Commission now tells us that the official version of 9/11 was based on false testimony and documents and is almost entirely untrue. The details of this massive cover-up are carefully outlined in a book by John Farmer, who was the Senior Counsel for the 9/11 Commission.
Farmer, Dean of Rutger Universities' School of Law and former Attorney General of New Jersey, was responsible for drafting the original flawed 9/11 report.
Does Farmer have cooperation and agreement from other members of the Commission? Yes. Did they say Bush ordered 9/11? No. Do they say that the 9/11 Commission was lied to by the FBI, CIA, Whitehouse and NORAD? Yes. Is there full documentary proof of this? Yes.
Farmer states...“at some level of the government, at some point in time…there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened... I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The [Norad air defense] tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years. This is not spin.”

http://www.salem-news.com/articles/september112009/911_truth_9-11-09.php

5. The 270 degree turn and rapid descent of the aircraft that hit the Pentagon. 

Experienced pilots have testified that they could not of made such a manoevre.
How could a very inexperienced pilot with only very limited flight training have accomplished it?

The official account of the attack on the Pentagon has many flaws, the above is just one of them.
The attack on the Pentagon needs to be re-investigated.

6. Condoleezza Rice's statement that no one could of expected terrorists to hijack aircraft and use them as weapons is an obvious and blatant lie 

See 1 above of the numerous foreign intelligence and diplomatic warnings that this was exactly what was being planned and the American government knew it, prior to 9/11.

See Project Bojinka
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bojinka_plot

December 24th 1994 - terrorists plan to fly a hijacked plane into the Eiffel Tower - the plot was foiled.
http://www.historycommons.org/context.jsp?item=a112496ethiopiaair

NORAD was conducting a "training exercise" on the morning of 9/11 to simulate a terrorist attack involving multiple hijacked aircraft.

The Air Traffic controllers could not tell which were the real hijacked planes from the simulations (part of the "training exercise") on their radar screens.

Why were fighter aircraft not sent to intercept the hijacked planes?
http://911blogger.com/news/2011-04-26/why-planes-were-not-intercepted-911-wall-street-lawyer-and-special-ops-hijack-coordinator

7. Flight 93 
The debris from Flight 93 indicates a mid air explosion - not a crash landing.
The debris is scattered over too wide an area for a crash landing.
http://911research.wtc7.net/planes/attack/flight93site.html

Flight 93 was the plane where the passengers attempted to over power the hijackers.
Was Flight 93 intercepted and shot down?
Flight 93 was in the air after the other planes had crashed.

Flight 93 needs further investigation.

8. Saudi Royal Family and Saudi government involvement in 9/11

Inside the Saudi 9/11 coverup

After the 9/11 attacks, the public was told al Qaeda acted alone, with no state sponsors.
But the White House never let it see an entire section of Congress’ investigative report on 9/11 dealing with “specific sources of foreign support” for the 19 hijackers, 15 of whom were Saudi nationals.
It was kept secret and remains so today.
President Bush inexplicably censored 28 full pages of the 800-page report. Text isn’t just blacked-out here and there in this critical-yet-missing middle section. The pages are completely blank, except for dotted lines where an estimated 7,200 words once stood (this story by comparison is about 1,000 words).
A pair of lawmakers who recently read the redacted portion say they are “absolutely shocked” at the level of foreign state involvement in the attacks.
Reps. Walter Jones (R-NC) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) can’t reveal the nation identified by it without violating federal law. So they’ve proposed Congress pass a resolution asking President Obama to declassify the entire 2002 report, “Joint Inquiry Into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001.”

Saudi-Sized Cracks in the 9/11 Wall of Silence

Two Congressmen, a Democrat and a Republican, are asking Obama to declassify the congressional report on 9/11, which the Bush administration heavily redacted.
The two members of the House of Representatives have read the blacked-out portions, including 28 totally blank pages that deal largely with Saudi government ties to the alleged 9/11 hijackers.
This is apparently major connect-the-dots stuff—much more significant than what one may remember from Michael Moore’s film Fahrenheit 911, about Saudi royals and other Saudis studying and living in the US, who were allowed to go home without being interviewed in the aftermath of the attacks. This is about actual financial and logistical support of terrorism against the United States—by its ally, the Saudi government.
As a Hoover Institution media scholar wrote in the New York Post (normally no bastion of deep investigative inquiry):
The Saudis deny any role in 9/11, but the CIA in one memo reportedly found “incontrovertible evidence” that Saudi government officials — not just wealthy Saudi hardliners, but high-level diplomats and intelligence officers employed by the kingdom — helped the hijackers both financially and logistically. The intelligence files cited in the report directly implicate the Saudi embassy in Washington and consulate in Los Angeles in the attacks, making 9/11 not just an act of terrorism, but an act of war.
Congressmen “absolutely shocked”
The two outspoken Representatives, Walter Jones (R-NC) and Stephen Lynch (D-Mass) would be violating federal law if they offered any specifics about what they know, or even named any countries mentioned—but did say they were  “absolutely shocked” by revelations of foreign state involvement in the attacks. Now, they want a resolution requesting Obama declassify the entire document.
If the media were to do its job and create the kind of wall-to-wall coverage it bestows upon, say, inter-spousal murder trials, Obama might feel he had to release the full 9/11 report. He’d have to concede there is a public right to know, or at least explain in detail why he doesn’t think so. Either way, there would be major fireworks. But we’re not betting on either the president or the media doing the right thing.

Was Saudi money involved?
Wide reports -- including a 9/28/01 story in the Asian Wall Street Journal and a 10/1/01 story in The Guardian -- indicate that investigators are checking Deutschebank s alleged links to Saudi "private banking," terrorist bank accounts, and $2.5 million in unclaimed United Airlines (UAL) put options profits; however, no government acknowledgement had ever been given of CIA s alleged use of PROMIS software prior to the attacks.

10. What was on the laptop of Zacarias Moussaoui?

This laptop containing details of the planned 9/11 attacks was in the possession of the American authorities prior to 9/11.
The American authorities refused to share the contents of this laptop with French investigators.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zacarias_Moussaoui

11. The Pakistan Connection, the ISI, Mohammed Atta and $100,000

General Mahmoud Ahmed, the then head of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), wired $100,000 before the 9/11 attacks to Mohammed Atta, the lead hijacker. It is extraordinary that neither Ahmed nor Sheikh have been charged and brought to trial on this count. Why not?

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2004/jul/22/usa.september11

12. We know that Bush/Cheney tried to cover the true facts about 9/11

They only agreed to the 9/11 Commission Report after pressure was applied by the families of victims and even the 9/11 Commissioners in charge of producing the report now say that it was a pack of lies. 

13. The events that led up to 9/11

14. Further information on 9/11 

http://ian56.blogspot.com/2012/09/italian-supreme-court-head-calls-for.html

Conclusions 

The events leading up to and the events on the actual day of 9/11 need to be properly investigated.
The official account is a complete cover up and a pack of lies.

Charges need to be brought against those responsible for the murder of 3,000 people on 9/11.

The easiest way of moving this forward is to bring civil charges against members of the Bush/Cheney regime for Gross Negligence on behalf of one or more of the foreign families that were a victim of 9/11.
There are plenty of countries to choose from, e.g. Brazil

Sue for gross negligence by members of the Bush regime for doing nothing to stop the attacks succeeding, in the face of overwhelming diplomatic and intelligence warnings of an impending terrorist attack using aircraft/airliners.
The burden of proof is lower in a civil court.
If members of the Bush regime chose not to appear and defend themselves the jury is entitled to draw their own conclusions from that in a civil court (in most countries).

There are plenty of countries to choose from to launch an initial case on behalf of the family of at least one of the foreign nationals killed on 9/11.
More countries could then follow suit.
There are plenty of countries to choose from to launch this initial case.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_September_11_attacks 

Upon completion of successful civil suits, further criminal charges can be brought - up to and including murder for those who were behind the 9/11 attacks.
N.B. aiding and abetting murder is the same as murder in the eyes of the Law.

Congress is treating the American People as if they were a bunch of jerks, cuts Veterans pensions while keeping $1tn of waste

Posted on 11:06 by Unknown

The budget deal cuts the COLA adjustment to Veteran's pensions by 1% a year.
This saves a trivial $600m a year from the $3.5tn budget.

Congress also cut Medicaid funding by $22bn to part pay $60bn of reinstated Corporate pork and waste.

Examples of things that SHOULD of been cut instead of Veterans pensions and Medicare funding :-

The offshore tax allowance to the big banks - $9.6bn a year

Blackwater type mercenaries employed instead of US troops - $10's of billions a year wasted

The $50bn+ a year spent on private contractors for intelligence.
Companies like Booz Allen should not handle sensitive and secret data.
The NSA Mass Surveillance programs should be completely defunded, they are a complete waste of money and haven't stopped a single terrorist plot.

Reverse the governments protectionist measures that allow large pharmaceutical companies to charge at least double the price in America for their drugs compared to other Western countries.
Half the drugs companies are foreign owned. How does protecting foreign companies help America?
Savings - $50bn a year from Medicare/Medicaid.

Stop building new massive military bases in Italy and Africa.
Bring home the over 100,000 troops that are currently stationed in Germany, Japan, South Korea, the UK and Italy.
Let them pay for their own Defense - WE CANNOT AFFORD TO.
Drastically cut the $170bn a year being spent on building and supplying over 900 military bases in over 130 countries around the world.
 
The new F-35 stealth plane project which John McCain rightly called a pile of junk and upon which Congress plans to spend $12.7bn a year for the next 24 years.
It should be cancelled.

Cut the $50bn a year of subsidies to big oil.

Cut the $36bn+ a year of so called "foreign aid".

Stop the tax loophole, using reinsurance, that allows hedge fund managers to pay zero taxes for ever.

Stop the tax loophole that allows multinationals to divert US generated profits to offshore tax havens in order to pay almost zero Corporation Tax.
Saving about $200bn a year.

Stop having Pentagon conferences about Klingons.

Did you know that the Pentagon spends $24bn a year just on gasoline?
It is the largest producer of CO2 in the entire world.

Fine the big banks $200bn for their numerous frauds.
LIBOR fixing, money laundering, robosigning, other mortgage fraud, insider trading, outright theft, lying to Congress etc. etc. etc.

Get OUT of Iraq.
I mean really get out, not pay for 7,000 mercenaries to be stationed there.

Get OUT of Afghanistan.
The government is negotiating a deal to stay for another TEN years - which will cost hundreds of billions.

There are numerous other examples of Corporate Pork and government waste detailed in here.
They add up to well over $1tn a year.
I am sure there are other examples of Corporate Pork and government waste that I haven't identified yet.
Congress should set up a committee to examine every single penny of government spending and cut some more waste.
http://ian56.blogspot.com/2012/11/it-is-very-easy-to-cut-1tn-from-federal.html

Congress should STOP WASTING $1tn+ of OUR MONEY EVERY YEAR and reinstate the Veteran's pensions and Medicare funding.
They should STOP treating the AMERICAN PEOPLE as if they were a bunch of jerks.

The budget deal that SHOULD be on the table to get bottom up spending going again.
The ecoomy will NEVER recover unless disposable incomes of ordinary people start rising again.
With current policies disposable incomes are falling off a cliff.
http://ian56.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-disastrous-fiscal-cliff-backroom.html 

You have to be well into the top 0.1% with income of well over $1m a year to have benefited from government and Federal Reserve policies over the last 10 years.

Contrary to media reports, the employment situation in America is NOT improving

Utter Chaos: White House Exempts Millions From Obamacare's Insurance Mandate due to 'Unaffordable' Insurance

Posted on 12:28 by Unknown
http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2013/12/20/utter-chaos-white-house-exempts-millions-from-obamacares-insurance-mandate-unaffordable-exchanges/

This will mostly affect the young who were supposed to subsidize older people due to the way that Obamacare was set up.

Young people will now have far less incentives to buy Healthcare insurance.
Their existing cheap catastrophe plans are mostly no longer available (due to Obamacare).
The Obamacare alternatives are far more expensive (up to THREE TIMES more expensive).
Young people will now not have to pay the fines for not having insurance (the above policy change just exempted them).

This will jack up the price of Healthcare insurance for everyone else, even more.
If there are fewer young people subsidizing the rest, the price for everyone else will go up.

N.B. the article refers to the insurers now being in utter chaos.
They do not know how much they should now be charging for Healthcare coverage in 2014.
The government keeps on changing the goalposts.
The insurers would of run the previous set of Obamacare rules through their actuarial departments. This new policy change will make a significant difference and they will have to run through the actuarial process again.

Calling the people in charge of the Obamacare rollout, clowns, is an insult to clowns.
It's not the first time that a jackass and ill considered statement has been made.
Obama's previous statement that you could keep your cancelled policy was never going to be a runner.

Since Dec 2012, 373,000 more over 65's have jobs because they cannot afford to retire

Posted on 18:43 by Unknown

http://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNU02000097

This accounts for one third of the 1.1 million more people that now have a job since December 2012.

The media are reporting that 195,000 jobs per month have been added during 2013.
This is completely untrue.

Only 727,000 more of normal working age (16 to 64) people now have jobs compared to December 2012.
This equates to 60,000 per month.
Far lower than the 150,000 to 180,000 new jobs per month required to keep up with population growth.

Growing inequality. Only a very few people are benefiting from current government and Federal Reserve policies. It's only going to get worse.

Posted on 16:32 by Unknown

In the last 10 years, the average family income of :-

The top 0.01% of Americans (about 30,000 people) have seen their average income rise 76.2% from $12,240,438 to $21,569,156.
The top 0.1% to 0.01% have seen their family income rise 29.5% from $2,147,943 to $2,782,303.
The top 0.5% to 0,1% rise 18.2% from $708,440 to $837,377.
The top 1% to 0.5% rise 11.3% from $396,542 to $441,423.
The top 5% to 1% rise 6.1% from $204,446 to $216.947.
The top 10% to 5% rise 2.6% from $127,692 to $130.990.
The bottom 90% have seen their income FALL… minus 10.7% from $34,067 to $30,439.

To keep pace with official inflation over the last 10 years your income needs to have grown by over 22%.
So only those that are well into the top 0.1%, those earning well over $1million a year, have benefited from the last 10 years of government and Federal Reserve policies.

Things are set to get even worse in the future with :-

Why are the rich paying a smaller share of taxes under Obama?

Posted on 15:13 by Unknown
http://gawker.com/the-rich-are-paying-a-smaller-share-of-taxes-under-obam-1484917689

Because the middle class and the poor are paying too much in tax.
 
Senator Patty Murray and Rep. Paul Ryan cut a deal on behalf of government cronies in the top 0.1%. The only people that will benefit from this deal are crony Corporations, financial speculators and banksters. A few thousand people will benefit from the budget deal. Over 300 million Americans will be worse off.

The House has approved a budget that :-
Increases spending by $60bn a year, increasing the over $1.3tn of annual crony Corporate welfare. Keeps the massive $200bn a year tax hike on the poor and middle class from the disastrous fiscal cliff deal.

Raises taxes via fees. Fees actually increase the proportion and burden of taxation that fall on the poor and middle class, they hardly affect the rich at all. Increasing taxes on the middle class and the poor will lower future GDP growth and increase future unemployment. If the government takes more from people who are already on the breadline or who are struggling to cope, they won't have that money to spend on other things and the overall economy will suffer as a result.

Does nothing to improve future economic growth.

Does nothing to resolve the looming fiscal deficit - by 2023:-
Spending will be around $6tn
The deficit will be well over $3tn
The National Debt will be over $40tn

The budget that SHOULD be on the table

Immediate cuts of $1.3tn to annual crony Corporate Welfare

Use that money to :-

Lower taxes on middle earners and below - an immediate increase in the income tax thresh hold to $45,000 a year (from $8,500)

Reverse the $108bn payroll tax hike

Help for small and medium sized businesses which are the true job and wealth creators in America. Remove all the tax loopholes and subsidies to the crony Corporations and use that money to cut Corporation Tax to 25% for EVERYONE.
Make the first $100,000 of profits tax free, like Singapore does.

The measures above will get bottom up spending and recruitment going again.

What do you want to do with the rest of the over $600bn a year we have just saved?

There are reasons as to why Singapore remains in the top 5 wealthiest countries, while America has slipped from 1st to 17th and still falling.
The Singapore government helps the little guy to thrive, while the American government now grinds the little guy into the dust in return for campaign donations from wealthy crony Corporate elites.

The details of the budget deal that should be on the table
http://ian56.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-disastrous-fiscal-cliff-backroom.html

The detailed list of items of crony Corporate Welfare that add up to over $1.3tn a year http://ian56.blogspot.com/2012/11/it-is-very-easy-to-cut-1tn-from-federal.html

U.S. Corporation Tax rates for 2013
 Note that successful small and medium sized businesses are the most heavily taxed of all. They pay 39% Corporation Tax on profits between $100,000 and $335,000. http://biztaxlaw.about.com/od/businesstaxes/a/corptaxrate.htmSo as soon as a young business starts becoming really successful and is making taxable profits of over $100,000 a year, the U.S. government thinks it is best to start taxing them to death.
No wonder that the number of new business start ups and the number of people employed in those new start ups, is rapidly declining.

Judge Rules Against 'Indiscriminate' NSA Spying. Stop pussyfooting around - call for Obama's impeachment over this

Posted on 10:44 by Unknown
The best article I have read on this so far, is this one
http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2013/12/16-7

The NSA Mass Surveillance programs are blatantly unconstitutional under the 4th Amendment and therefore illegal.
Employees of the NSA are carrying out criminal acts every day and should be prosecuted for them.
Clapper and Alexander should go to jail for about 30 years each.
Obama should be impeached for massively abusing and over reaching the power of the Office of President.

GW Bush should be prosecuted too - Mass Surveillance on Americans didn't start with Obama although Obama greatly extended it and greatly increased it's funding.

The NSA's Mass Surveillance is also illegal under International Law. 
Other countries should prosecute Obama and America for breaching the basic human rights of their citizens. Countries like Brazil, France, Germany, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand .....

Civil Rights activists should stop pussyfooting  around on this.
Call for Obama's Impeachment in the US and launch human rights prosecutions in other countries.



The REAL purpose of NSA Mass Surveillance is to undermine democracy in America & the West to promote the interests of large crony Corporations

International Principles on the Application of Human Rights to Communications Surveillance - privacy is required in order to maintain democratic processes

Privacy is a fundamental human right, and is central to the maintenance of democratic societies. It is essential to human dignity and it reinforces other rights, such as freedom of expression and information, and freedom of association, and is recognised under international human rights law.[1] Activities that restrict the right to privacy, including communications surveillance, can only be justified when they are prescribed by law, they are necessary to achieve a legitimate aim, and are proportionate to the aim pursued.[2]

Mass Surveillance is highly ineffective as a counter terrorism measure - see Boston.

It is however a highly effective method of :
Collecting data on people that might otherwise be future domestic political dissenters.
Suppressing any critical media articles and potential government whistle blowers.
Controlling senior government officials and politicians.

The information collected is intended to be used for future blackmail or intimidation to suppress any dissent - see Stasi.

Or to discredit domestic political opponents

A complete pack of lies - the government story on the NSA Mass Surveillance programs
http://ian56.blogspot.com/2013/09/a-complete-pack-of-lies-government.html

America's global relations are rapidly deteriorating because of the government's repeated, numerous and widespread abuses of other country's sovereignty.
There will be blowback in all kinds of ways.
http://ian56.blogspot.com/2013/07/nsa-blowback-americas-rapidly.html

Update 10/15
NSA Director Keith Alexander admits he outright lied to Congress about the 54 terror plots.
He now admits that, at most, only one or two terror plots were foiled by Mass Surveillance.
The true number is probably MINUS ONE.
Because of the systems in place and resources diverted to spying on law abiding citizens, the NSA failed to stop Boston.

Update 10/21
Is the NSA Blackmailing Politicians & Officials Into Supporting Mass Spying? | ACLU
A very good question and one the media ought to be investigating very thoroughly.
