Notes About 9/11 Conspiracies

Please print this sign and post it to bulletin boards to spread the word.

This is a video of the collapse of World Trade Center building 7 on 9/11 at 5:20pm.

No plane hit it.

No significant debris hit it.

There were no large fires, only small ones that sprinklers should've handled.

It was an asymmetrical building, yet it collapsed straight downward, just like a controlled demolition.

Under its rubble, as with the Twin Towers, there was a pool of molten iron that stayed hot for weeks.

Molten iron is a typical result of the use of thermite to make diagonal slices through supporting columns during a controlled demolition. Physical evidence shows that the more effective military-grade equivalent of thermite, called thermate, was actually used.

Developments

Smoking gun found

Steven Jones and other scientists examining World Trade Center dust have found numerous particles of unexploded thermate in the dust. Thermate is the military-grade explosive believed to have been used extensively in WTC 1, 2, and 7 to collapse them. The scientists know it is thermate from the chemical analysis of the particles, and they know the thermate is unexploded because when they shined a laser on one particle it blew up, and when they heated another with a micro-torch, it too exploded.

What & Why

This is a page on which I am keeping notes about 9/11. I am keeping track of information about what really happened before, during and after the events of 9/11, and trying to keep track of source information, because it seems definite that it was an inside job i.e. it was planned out and executed by Bush, Bush's brother Marvin, Cheney, and criminal elements in the military, the CIA and FBI, with the intent to terrorize Americans into accepting a police state. Hitler and the Nazis did the same thing when they perpetrated the Reichstag Fire that allowed Adolf Hitler to become dictator. Many say that George W Bush is de facto a dictator now. Indeed the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which lets Bush declare anyone a terrorist or enemy combatant, is proof positive that Bush intends to be the next Hitler. For more information on the rising American police state, see my page dedicated to that.

What is a conspiracy theory?

If a police detective goes to the scene of a crime and sees evidence of multiple perpetrators acting together, he forms a hypothesis that people conspired to commit a crime, essentially a conspiracy theory.

Americans have unfortunately been conditioned or brainwashed into thinking that anyone who assembles a conspiracy theory who is not a part of government, academia or big business (centers of power) is automatically crazy. For years Americans thought JFK was killed by one man, not looking any deeper into the issue because these centers of power never led them any deeper, and mocked those who did.

What you need to know is:

People within government/corporations/academia are notoriously corruptible and self-serving.
People on the outside can say and ask whatever they like and may be wrong at times, and they may struggle to find the facts when a crime has been covered up, but it is essential that they ask the questions and solve the crimes that corrupt power will not.

It is the first responsibility of every citizen to question authority.: – Benjamin Franklin

The official explanation of 9/11 is an unproven conspiracy theory

The US government has made meager effort to prove their own, official conspiracy theory that the CIA's close ally Osama bin Laden and 19 hijackers perpetrated 9/11. They have deliberately destroyed evidence, such as the WTC site. They have ignored evidence, such as Scott Forbes' testimony and people who say they were forewarned of 9/11. When the facts have not fit the government's official story they have either ignored the facts (such as the scale model of the Twin Towers that refused to collapse) or never published their findings. They let numerous Saudis, who could have provided evidence about certain terrorists, leave the country just after 9/11. The government's failure to prove their conspiracy claims should tell you something. People are dying and billions of dollars are being spent because of that bogus theory, concerning 19 terrorists and a shadowy leader. But fortunes are being made...

The 9/11 Truth Movement collective theory is a mostly-proven conspiracy theory

In contrast, the 9/11 Truth Movement has discovered and/or assembled a great deal of evidence (video, audio, physical material, interviews, confessions, documentation, etc.) that argues strongly that their own theory is correct: That theory states that 9/11 was an inside job, that Bush/Cheney and perhaps 100-200 other criminals in the US government were the primary perpetrators of 9/11.

Physical laws

It is often said that if you understand basic physical laws, you will immediately see why 9/11 was an inside job. Unfortunately many people were apparently asleep in physics class in high school, and/or did not take any physics courses in college, and/or their sense of what is possible has been stretched out of proportion by Hollywood movies and TV. So here is a quick explanation of key points.

1. What is free fall?

When an object falls through empty air, such as when you drop an apple off a building, its speed increases exponentially. Gravity causes continuous acceleration toward the ground. This ever-increasing speed is called "free fall".

In real life, the air itself resists the fall. So for instance, if a person is falling from a tall building he or she will normally reach a maximum speed but not go faster.

Skydivers will tell you that the maximum speed a person will reach if their parachute doesn't open is about 120 miles per hour. This helps explain why some skydivers have survived freefall -- the other key factor being that they fell into water, or onto a bush, or something similar.

2. What if there are objects in the way?

The fact that air resistance can prevent an object from reaching very high speeds during a fall should tell you something: Obstructions to a free fall matter a lot.

The more that an obstruction is

structurally sound, and/or
massive, and/or
connected to something immovable like bedrock

...the more resistance it will impose against the falling object.

To illustrate:

If a falling apple hits a flying mosquito, even though the mosquito's body is structurally sound, the apple will not be slowed much becaues the mosquito has little mass and is not sitting on anything immovable.
If a falling apple hits a large bird in flight, the apple will be deflected substantially and slow down. The bird has mass and is structurally sound, yet is not connected to anything immovable.
If a falling apple hits a bird on a ledge, the apple will be slowed down even more, because the bird is connected to something relatively immovable.

Now consider the undamaged floors below the impact areas on each of the Twin Towers:

They were structurally sound.
They had great mass -- more in fact than the falling floors did.
They were attached to the immovable bedrock in the ground.

When the top sections of the Twin Towers began to fall, they should have almost immediately stopped completely because of the huge amount of resistance from undamaged floors below.

Why? Because the math tells us so, because the structure of the buildings was quite sound, and it's also just logical and intuitive.

Granted, the top falling sections were heavy, but the undamaged floors were (to repeat)

Much heavier (they had more mass).
Undamaged therefore more structurally sound.
Connected to bedrock.

To further illustrate: Imagine you have a stack of perhaps 80 strong, heavy objects like for instance cars. Even if you drop another 20 cars onto that stack, the 80 will not magically cave in. They will fall over if anything.

What we saw on 9/11 was utterly impossible without the use of explosives. We should have seen the top floors of the Towers either stop or in the worst case fall over.

3. What are mass and momentum?

Mass is what makes an object heavy. Mass is that which gravity pulls upon, gravity being simply a force exerted by the Earth.

How to understand mass? Imagine that you put your car in neutral and turn off the brake. It is free to roll away. Now imagine it's on a flat surface and you walk up to the car and kick it hard. It may roll a tiny bit, but a kick against a car will not have the effect as, say, a kick against a football. That's because the car has more mass. It takes more energy to get an object moving if it has more mass.

And likewise, if someone pushes a stalled car toward you instead of a football, it will take you much more effort to stop a car than to stop the ball.

Momentum is a concept that tells you two things:

It tells you basically how much trouble it's going to be to stop an object.
It tells you how much trouble it was for somebody or something else to get an object moving.

Momentum equals simply mass times speed.

So, if you have the top section of one of the Twin Towers falling in space, it has a huge amount of momentum. It will be hard to stop.

But by the same token, the floors below have a huge amount of mass. And their structure makes them resist any attempt to make them collapse, of course. And the ground is pushing back, too.

So, to make the lower floors start to move downward, you need a great deal of energy. It is partly for this reason that skyscrapers do not collapse, even if intense fires cause upper floors to begin to collapse.

It's also a matter of momentum being used up. The buildings were massive, and the energy of the impact of upper floors upon lower floors was expended.

Once momentum is used up, you have to expend new energy to get something moving again. Gravity will do this, however the lower floors and the ground are constantly pushing back to prevent collapse.

For a building collapse to continue despite the obstruction and resistance of lower floors, especially at nearly free fall speed, something specific must occur. It's called a controlled demolition.

4. What is the actual purpose of using explosives for demolition?

It is to achieve an orderly, vertical collapse without damage to adjacent buildings, which is only possible by effectively removing obstructing floors before the upper, falling floors reach them.

It's just common sense. To achieve maximum downward speed (near free fall) and an orderly vertical fall, you have to get strong, heavy obstacles out of the way -- specifically lower floors.

If you don't remove the floors below, the top part will be deflected (bounce off) the lower floors when it impacts the bottom part, or will just stop.

Controlled demolitions normally explode the supporting columns starting at lower floors and going up, so that by the time upper floors impact lower floors, those lower floors are already pulling things downward.

5. Could not the structure of the Twin Towers have simply been defective and that is why they fell?

No. The architects explained in TV interviews that these buildings were built to withstand multiple airplane impacts, of the 707 type which are equivalent to modern 747s. The Towers were built like a screen door: If you poke a hole in one part, the rest remains.

Further building 7 was not hit by any airplane.

Media Silence & CIA control of media

Some people view the mainstream media, as well as the alternative media, as an authority. To do so is foolish.

Authority is not the same as truth.
Truth exists independent of authorities.
With so many examples of authorities lying for personal gain, or because they had agendas, to trust them is simply foolish.

If you know something about the US news media, you know it is mostly propaganda. This is one reason why "fake news" comedy shows such as The Daily Show and The Colbert Report have become popular: the corporate news is so ridiculous and dishonest. But who controls the mainstream media? Here is a revealing quote:

"The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media."
- William Colby, former Director of the CIA.

Guess what former CIA directory William Colby was doing after 9/11? He became the legal counsel for the Firefighters Union, and he told them to shut up about what they saw happen on 9/11!

You can include in Colby's CIA-"owned" media of course NPR and PBS i.e. the "public" networks that pretend to be liberal, and certainly Wikipedia.

Operation Mockingbird

This was a CIA operation in the 1940s to put journalists on the CIA payroll in order to influence the mainstream media.

Flight 77 & the Pentagon

It has been alleged that the never-trustworthy mainstream media (the 5 companies that control 95% of what you see & hear) has artificially obsessed over presenting their spin of the Flight 77 / Pentagon issue and has used this artificial obsession as a means of excluding information about all other topics related to 9/11, especially WTC building 7.

Clearly the media has repeated time and time again the bogus assertion that all questions about 9/11 are satisfactorily answered.

Guess what? Pilots for 9/11 Truth managed to get their hands on black box data for that airplane and discovered that the plane flew over the Pentagon! Watch the Calum Douglas talk about it here.

Flight 77 supposedly hit the Pentagon, and was supposedly piloted by Hamid Hamza. This person was assessed by two different aviation professionals as having poor flying skills.

This suggests he did not fly any aircraft into the Pentagon. But if not, what does this mean? Perhaps...

Someone else piloted the airplane.
The plane was operated by remote control.
The plane's autopilot was programmed to crash the plane (as usual with great precision).
This particular plane never reached the Pentagon.

Many people have pointed that the hole in the side of the Pentagon is too small to accommodate an airliner anyway. If so, this would suggest either another aircraft or a missile.

Those who counter-argue Flight 77 did indeed crash into the Pentagon often show pictures of charred bodies at the site as "proof", but this is foolish since there were people in the building who died and those bodies could have been those people.

Flight 93 & Pennsylvania

This flight crashed in western Pennsylvania, coordinates 40.052, -78.8963, near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

The issues regarding this flight are as follows.

Why were plane fragments found over several miles?

This can only happen if the plane exploded at high altitude, consistent with either

the plane being shot down, or
detonation of an explosive inside the plane.

Can cell phones truly have been used from within the plane?

Tests performed by activists prove that cell phones don't work at the altitudes the plane was at. This does not mean that a seat-back phone could not have been used, of course.

Was the plane shot down?

Answer: almost certainly.

The widely scatter debris of the plane suggest it. Only a plane blowing up high up in mid-air leads to scattering of debris over miles.

Another local -- an adult -- saw the military plane fly over them as they drove, and then fly toward the sun to avoid being identified.

Additional source: Documentary UA 93: Road to Shanksville

Granted, it is concievable that a bomb was put in the plane and that the fighter jet just happened to be in the area when it blew up. However if that were true, why did the plane's pilot deliberately fly toward the sun, which is a maneuver used to prevent identification?

Were human remains found?

The coroner claims he did find remains.

In the movie Loose Change, the impression is given by a quote from the Somerset county coroner Wallace Miller that no human remains were immediately found. This is misleading. The coroner has since explained that soon after looking at the scene, he found human remains all over the place.

Source:

The coroner is reported as having found sufficient remains to perform fingerprint checks. Daily Courier story

However, it has also been reported that comparing remains to the presumed terrorists was impossible because no evidence existed of them except from the plane site.

Unfortunately, DNA tests were performed by the US Army Pathology Lab according to the coroner. So if the military was involved in staging the 9/11 attacks it is reasonable to say that any DNA comparisons performed by them would have been a sham.

Were there even any terrorists on the plane?

WTC buildings 1, 2 (Twin Towers) and the improbable collapse of building WTC 7

Three buildings collapsed on 9/11 very much like controlled demolitions.

"Fire has never destroyed a steel building.": - Bill Manning, editor and chief of Fire Engineering magazine.

Building Plane Impact time
WTC 1 = North Tower American Airlines Flight 11 8:46:40 am
WTC 2 = South Tower United Airlines Flight 175 9:02:40 am
WTC 7 = Salomon Brothers Bldg.
Not hit by plane, nor debris. No significant fires. 5:20 pm

Multiple kinds of evidence -- eyewitnesses, videos, photographs, and samples of structural steel and formerly molton iron -- as well as the laws of physics show these buildings were brought down with explosives. This topic has been scientifically dealt with by Steven E Jones of Brigham Young University (tenured) and other academics and is now historical fact. Never mind what the vapid or corrupt media spin doctors tell you, this is science-based.

Sources:

Steven Jones USVC lecture video.

Journal of 9/11 Studies peer-reviewed scientific articles.

Net4Truth page does into some detail of how explosives were used.

Key reasons why this is established:

Several structural steel elements in each of the three buildings that collapsed that have been found to have been evaporated, which requires 5000-degree heat and only occurs when demolition explosives are used, such as thermate or thermite.
The fires caused by jet fuel and office furniture could not have burned at more than about 1000 degrees Celcius, whereas structural steel requires 1538 degrees C.
Under the rubble of each building (the Twin Towers and WTC 7) there were pools of molten iron that remained hot for weeks. This iron was not caused by airplanes, airplane fuel, or fires. Remember, building 7 was not hit by any airplanes nor by falling buildings. Videos of the Twin Towers show the molten iron coming out of floors far below where the planes impacted.
Molten iron is typical of thermate reactions; thermate is commonly used by the military and by controlled demolitions companies. Samples of the cooled-down iron were examined at Steven E. Jones' lab. Chemical markers in the composition of the iron did not match the buildings' structural steel but rather matched the results of a thermate reaction.

One rather curious fact about WTC 7 is that EMT (emergency medical) workers reported being pre-warned that building 7 was going to collapse.

Source: PrisonPlanet story, Feb 2007

Another rather curious fact is that the BBC announced live on the air that WTC 7 had already collapsed, directing viewers to the live image of the scene behind them, when in fact it collapsed 26 minutes later.

Source: PrisonPlanet story, Feb 2007

Also curious is the fact that the 9/11 Commission and the mainstream media have gone out of their way to ignore the collapse of WTC 7, which is why most people do not know about it. It fell despite not being hit by explosives, and although a corner was ravaged by fire it fell perfectly symmetrically which is very unlikely given that fire and given the asymmetrical inner structure of the building. Also, the owner Larry Silverstein has admitted on tape that "they decided" to "pull" WTC 7. "Pull" means demolish, and as mentioned above it takes 2 weeks to set up the explosives to pull a building. This was planned well in advance.

In the film Painful Deceptions, mention is made of technology created by Controlled Demolition Inc. that destroys buildings in such a way that the pieces fit nicely in waste-removal trucks, as was extraordinarily the case at WTC.

What type of planes hit the Towers?

There are numerous photos and videos showing a military plane hitting WTC 2 -- the South Tower. People point to the apparent pod on the bottom of the plane, which is indicative of a military plane, and to the fact that it is a gray-colored plane whereas commercial planes are white and other colors. There have also been allegations of doctored photos and videos, however. So on this issue it might be wisest to observe what eyewitnesses at the time said. Sources:

Why was the WTC crime scene destroyed by Giuliani?

Rudi Giuliani, reputed to be an egotistical opportunist who seeks power at any cost and takes credit for other people's work, insisted on cleaning up the World Trade Center area. In the process he committed a huge crime, since WTC was a crime scene and he destroyed the evidence before it could be analyzed. In the process, he also became a British knight. Since then, he has been linked to News Corp, which has obsessively pushed Giulani as a US presidential candidate for 2008. Sources:

National Ledger story

Marvin Bush as well as a cousin of G.W. Bush were involved with WTC security and Dulles security

The company in charge of security at the World Trade Center in the days before September 11th was Securacom, now called Stratesec. They also managed security for Dulles Airport which is where one of the highjacked flights originated from. Marvin Bush was a director of Securacom, which is known for doing classified work for the military. Sources:

CommonDreams story.
Sydney Indymedia page.

Company profile at Business.com.

Marvin's and his company's position is important because in order for explosives to be placed, special access has to be granted by whoever ran security, i.e. them.

Professionals say it takes two weeks to properly set up explosives to "pull" (demolish) a building in the manner the 3 buildings fell.

As it happens, during the weekend before 9/11, at least, the buildings were closed for an extremely unusual 36-hour power down. According to Scott Forbes (see below) only on floors 47 to 50, and men in maintenance suits were seen entering the building that weekend, ostensibly to do a network "recabling".

WTC bomb-sniffing dogs removed

5 days before 9/11, bomb-sniffing dogs were removed from the site. Why? Because the building was rigged with explosives.

Statements by Scott Forbes who worked in WTC

Scott Forbes, who worked in the south tower (the north one was hit first), described his observations and impressions on the Jack Blood radio show. He was not working on 9/11, because his company required him to make preparations for the unusual power-down on the weekend before 9/11. His company was informed of the power-down long before 9/11.

Larry Silverstein remark: "just pull it"

This is the owner of the WTC complex as well as, rather suspicously, the Sears tower in Chicago which was supposedly a target of the Miami patsies.

He is quoted as saying "they" decided to "pull it" which is the term for a controlled demolition, regarding WTC 7. Here is the video of Silverstein saying it.

He took out a huge $3.5 billion insurance policy on WTC specifically covering acts of terrorism.

Was he responsible for installing George Bush's brother Marvin as head of security?

Minoru Yamasaki -- architect of the WTC

Yamasaki said that the twin tower buildings were designed to take airliner impacts.

Reference.

Frank A. De Martini -- construction project manager of the WTC

De Martini said that the twin tower buildings were designed to take an airliner impact each, and he believed they could take multiple airliner impacts each. It has to do with the highly redundant design of the towers.

Quotes

"Fire has never destroyed a steel building.": - Bill Manning, editor and chief of Fire Engineering magazine.
"There were explosions going off everywhere. I was convinced that there were bombs planted all over the place and someone was sitting at a control panel pushing detonator buttons . . . There was another explosion. And another. I didn't know where to run.": Teresa Veliz, WTC1 Employee, 47th Floor
"My opinion is, based on the videotapes, that after the airplanes hit the World Trade Center there were some explosive devices inside the buildings that caused the towers to collapse.": Van Romero, vice president for research at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. (He has since offered an apparently fearful retraction.)

WTC 3; 4; 5; and 6

Each of the building had lots of debris hit them, yet they did not collapse despite major damage. Contrast this with WTC 7, which was hit by nothing and had only minor fires, yet fell and did so perfectly symettrically and rapidly.

NORAD Extraordinary Air Force Stand-down on 9/11 & Exercises

Standard FAA procedure is that if a passenger plane becomes unreachable, Air Force planes must be put in the air. This response is normally requested by air traffic controllers and does not require Presidential approval. This should have happened on 9/11 but did not.

Four planes went astray. None, we are told, was intercepted.

As explained in the documentary Painful Deceptions, in the previous year 67 interceptions had occurred, for a 100% success rate. Yet on 9/11, there was a 100% failure rate. Why?

Here is a clue: On 9/11, for the first time in US history a non-military person was in charge of the military. Special war games were happening that involved the scenario of terrorists hijacking airplanes. Who was in control? It was Dick Cheney.

Only on 9/11, multiple hijacking-related war games were taking place in the Northeast, complete with fake radar blips. As a result, air traffic controllers were reported to be very confused about what was going on regarding the real hijacked planes, as was the military.

To compound the problem, some jets that were scrambled were told to fly out over the sea. Sound like a set-up? Sound like a scam? It was.

One 9/11 researcher believes the confusion created by the war games and erroneous order to fly away may have been the personal handiwork of Dick Cheney. Watch this video.

Do note, that these "war games" or "exercises" are common during staged terrorist attacks, when the "terrorists" are actually government agents. They also happened on 7/7 in London. An attack that is intended to look like an act of terrorism that is actually perpetrated by the government that is attacked is called a "false flag" operation, and they have been a recurring theme in world history.

Additional information

Nicholas Rockefeller predicted 9/11 nine months in advance

There has been a lot of speculation about who ordered 9/11 -- i.e. the "hit" on America. As Naomi Klein has said, the elites are using "shock therapy" to get laws passed that severely harm citizens of many countries. 9/11 was surely such a shock. It should be no surprise then that Nicholas Rockefeller was quoted by Aaron Russo 9 months before 9/11 as predicting that a large attack would occur on America that would lead to invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, appalling though it may be.

Bin Laden was/is CIA asset

His CIA code name was Tim Osmond.

He was trained by the CIA in the 1970s.

He worked for the CIA against the Soviets in the 1980s.

He worked for the CIA against the Serbs in the 1990s.

Bin Laden met with a CIA agent at a Dubai hospital for 10 days, two months before 9/11.

New York 9/11 Oral Histories

The New York Fire Department after 9/11 recorded over 500 firemen and emergency worker descriptions of events that day. After a legal battle with NYC government, which did not want to release these oral histories, it was discovered that dozens of people reported hearing explosions in the WTC towers that were unrelated to the planes hitting. The oral histories have been made public. Source: NPR mention of histories being made public.

The Hijackers Are Still Alive

As early as Sept 23rd, 2001, at least four of the government's designated hijackers were found to be alive and well. Source: BBC story.

The claim in the popular but flawed movie Loose Change is that virtually all of the identified terrorists have been been found to be alive and well long after 9/11.

So what can be infer from this? Some thoughts:

It is possible that there were far fewer hijackers and the FBI has invented the story about 19 hijackers. This could imply that the cockpit recordings from Flight 93 were inventions.
If there really were hijackers then obviously other men stole their identities to get on board-- presumably using fake or stolen passports.
Where did the FBI get the 19 photos of these 19 men? Any fake passports used to get onto planes would not have had those photos, because airport personnel compare passengers to their passports. Presumably, if the FBI had gone to the homes of the hijackers, any IDs there would have had the hijackers' photos on them, not the 19 men shown on TV. This seems very fishy.
The government claims to have found hijackers' passports at Ground Zero (impossible). If true, those passports could not have had the photos we all saw on TV, so why were the wrong photos shown on TV? And why has the government not updated the public photos later? Seems rather suspicious.
Suppose there were no hijackers, then of course the planes were not hijacked. Four videos of the second plane hitting the south WTC tower show it was a military plane. Thus it must be that one or more of the passenger planes did not reach their targets but were replaced in mid-air by drone airplanes using the same transponder code. If the military perpetrated 9/11, were hijackers even required? Because if a plane's autopilot could be programmed to change course and/or turn off its transponder in midair by someone acting remotely, then indeed hijackers would not have been needed. But clearly, we are supposed to think there were hijackers, to cover up the government's wrongdoing.
If the people identified as terrorists were not on the planes then the passenger lists would have been doctored after the fact.

Mohammed Atta: party boy in Florida

Daniel Hopsicker is an independent investigative reporter who traveled to Florida to look into Mohammed Atta's doing there before 9/11. He found that essentially no other reporters were there, seeming to indicate that the mainstream media was working off a script and not questioning the official story. Source: Hopsicker speech at the New England 9/11 Truth meeting.

Hopsicker learned that:

Atta had a rather young American girlfriend named Amanda Keller who worked as a stripper.
His other friends were all Germans and Swiss.
His best friend was a German named Wolfgang Boringer who later told American authorities that he was with the CIA so that he could avoid arrest.
Atta and Wolfgang Boringer had been thrown out of a Hooters restaurant possibly more than once for harrassing the waitresses.

Jack Abramoff link to Mohammed Atta

The Atta-Abramoff link has been mentioned in this blog.

Reports of Atta's activities show he was quite the party-boy, and did not fit the profile of a devout Muslim.

His girlfriend in Florida was a stripper and his best friend was a German who later boasted of being a CIA agent.

Who gained from 9/11?

9/11 has been a gold mine for certain people and companies, in fact it has been the excuse to given them a virtual blank check. But if Bush is permitted to establish a dictatorial police state, the bonanza for the bad guys will be vast, while the freedoms we enjoy that the Founding Fathers carefully crafted will disappear, and you can be sure that many people will disappear to. That is how police states work.

For my long overview of evidence showing the USA is already extraordinarily similar to a police state, see my police state evidence page.

Put Options

Note also the controversy of the "put options" placed on stocks of airlines on 9/11. Some of them were huge, and people made millions, however many have been left unclaimed.

Shadow Government

The New World Order or One World Government is the plan for world domination by a despotic elite who have organized themselves into a shadow government.

Before you assume that NWO and OMG are terms invented and used by fringe lunatics who talk about Illuminati all day, read these quotes:

"We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order."
- David Rockefeller, years before 9/11 And "Today America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government."
-Dr. Henry Kissinger, Evian-Les Bains, France 1991

The NWO will initially take the form of trade agreements that supercede national laws, to be followed by a non-democratic "panel". This is codified in the treaties GATT and GATS, at a minimum.

Rising Police State

The USA is becoming a police. See my point-for-point analysis here.

United States Civil Disturbance Plan 55-2

Associated with "Operation Garden Plot". This plan defines tax protesters, militia groups, religious groups and anti-government dissenters as "disruptive elements" and authorizes the use of deadly force if necessary to control them. Look behind the veneer of America's more or less civilized society and you find the government has criminal intentions. Link.

Lets Count the Nazis

George W Bush is the grandson of Prescott Bush, who was an American but also Nazi money launderer before WWII, and who sent money to Nazis in South America after the war.

Karl Rove is the grandson of a German Nazi who supposedly ran a regional government in Nazi Germany, or something like that.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the son of a Nazi SA officer.

Bush Likes Torture

Now that Bush has proven he wants to torture people, and thanks to the Military Commissions Act of 2006 he is allowed to do it, perhaps we should see what that entails.

Petitions

Philip J Berg has come up with a few petitions for people to sign. These seem to be falling on deaf ears so one might ask, what is actually the point? If you are at all worried about the USA becoming a police state, which the evidence shows is happening now, don't sign any petition. Link.
