9/11: 15 Years Later

Never Forget
We shall prevail. We shall Overcome.
9/11 started many things. It began in the early part of the 21st century. It was one of the
horrendous tragedies in human history. Almost 3,000 people of many races, creeds, and
backgrounds were murdered by evil people on that somber day. 9/11 fully showed in plain view
that evil is real and also our human rights, which are sacrosanct, must be protected and
preserved regardless. There are many facts about what happened during 9/11 that must be shown.
We won’t back down our quest to advance the truth. 9/11 certainly has been thought about by me
every single day of my life. 3 states were attacked during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Numerous
people from around the world remember the events vividly. I do too. In our generation, we know
many key facts about what happened. There are notorious business connections between the Bush
and Bin Laden family. There was a huge amount of disrespect shown by the powers that be against
9/11 rescue workers. Some in the EPA claimed at one time that the Ground Zero air was safe to
breathe.

Yet, that wasn’t the case and many courageous rescue workers died unfortunately as a product of
injecting poisonous air. Governor Christine Whitman once said that New York’s air was safe to
breathe immediately after 9/11. She was the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency
during the George W. Bush Presidency. We have seen the promotion of a truly independent 9/11
investigation to get to the truth. Even that call of an independent investigation has being
demonized by numerous establishment media engines. We do know that corporate leaders owned
the WTC complex and that the neo-conservatives used the attacks in 9/11 as a pretext for them to
invade the Middle East and Afghanistan (along with the establishment of laws that compromised
and violated our civil liberties in America). The West wanted to reshape the Middle East to gain its
oil, gas, water, and mineral resources in competing against the Russian plus Chinese
hegemonies. We know that the attacks were bigger than just blowback. U.S. allies received specific
warnings about terrorist threats in America using even airplanes as weapons. Many FBI agents, who
wanted to follow up on these warnings, were blocked by headquarters (as mentioned in the article
entitled "Agent alleges FBI stalled pre-9/11 inquiry: HQ was a 'roadblock' in Moussaoui
investigation, she says" by Larry Margasak and John Solomon. They wrote this article from The
Associated Press which was published on 10:00 pm at Thursday, May 23, 2002). Also, numerous
multinational corporations, NGOs, and other organizations are tied to the Western establishment as
well.

*Therefore, after 15 years since the attacks on September

11, 2001, we should reflect, investigate information, be
inspired to stand up for our human rights in general.
The History of the WTC

The construction of the World Trade Center has a long history. The Twin Towers was created as a
product of an urban renewal project and it was spearheaded by David Rockefeller. David
Rockefeller is the famous international capitalist with ties to the political and economic
establishment for long decades. David Rockefeller and others wanted to “revitalize” Lower
Manhattan. The project was planned explicitly by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
They hired architect Minoru Yamasaki, who was an American architect, to create plans for building
the structure. On September 20, 1962, the Port Authority announced the selection of Minoru
Yamasaki as lead architect and Emery Roth & Sonsas as associate architects. Yamasaki's original
plan called for the towers to be 80 stories tall, but to meet the Port Authority's requirement for
10,000,000 square feet (930,000 m2) of office space, the buildings would each have to be 110
stories tall. Yamasaki came up with the idea of building twin towers. There were many extensive
negotiations. The New Jersey and New York State government, which supervised the Port Authority,
agreed to the construction of the World Trade Center at the Radio Row site. That site was located in
the lower west area of Manhattan. To satisfy the New Jersey government, the Port Authority
agreed to buy the bankrupt Hudson & Manhattan Railroad (renamed to Port Authority Trans-
Hudson), which transported commuters from New Jersey to Lower Manhattan. The towers were
designed as framed tube structures, giving tenants open floor plans, unobstructed by columns or
walls.

This design was accomplished by using many closely spaced perimeter columns, providing much of
structure's strength, with the gravity load shared with the core columns. The elevator system, which
made use of sky lobbies and a system of express and local elevators, allowed substantial floor space
to be used for office purposes by making the structural core smaller. The design and construction of
the towers involved many other innovative techniques, such as wind tunnel experiments and the
slurry wall for digging the foundation. The construction of the North Tower began in 1966. World
Trade Center One was completed by December 23, 1970. When completed in 1973, the South
Tower, Two World Trade Center (the South Tower) became the second tallest building in the world
during that time at 1,362 feet (415 m). The South Tower's rooftop observation deck was 1,362 ft.
(415 m) high and its indoor observation deck was 1,310 ft. (400 m) high. Each tower stood over
1,350 feet (410 m) high, and occupied about 1 acre (4,000 m2) of the total 16 acres (65,000 m2) of
the site's land. World Trade Center 2 was completed in July 19, 1971. The complex of WTC 4, 5, and
6 was completed in 1975. WTC 3 was finished in July 1981. World Trade Center Number Seven was
completed in 1987. The opening of the original World Trade Center came about in April 4, 1973.

The First Bombing

To understand the attacks on 9/11, we have to understand events of the past as well. The first
major terror attack in the World Trade Center occurred in February 26, 1993. It was over 20 years
ago and I was in the fourth grade of elementary school when it happened. I remembered it. The
bomb was a 1,336 pound urea nitrate-hydrogen gas enhanced device. The people involved in the
evil action wanted both Twin Towers to fall. It failed. Also, 6 people were murdered and more than
1,000 people were injured in the blast. The attack was planned by a group of terrorists including
Ramzi Yousef, Mahmud Abouhalima, Mohammad Salameh, Nidal A. Ayyad, Abdul Rahman Yasin
and Ahmed Ajaj. They received financing from Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, Yousef's uncle. In March
1994, four men were convicted of carrying out the bombing: Abouhalima, Ajaj, Ayyad and Salameh.
The charges included conspiracy, explosive destruction of property, and interstate transportation of
explosives. In November 1997, two more were convicted: Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind behind the
bombings, and Eyad Ismoil, who drove the truck carrying the bomb. Ramzi Yousef was born in
Kuwait and he spent time in an Al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan. Khalid Sheikh Muhammad
Ali Fadden gave Yousef advice and tips over the phone. He funded the co-conspirator Mohammed
Salameh with a US$660 wire transfer. Yousef came into America illegally on September 1, 1992.
Yousef would live in Jersey City, New Jersey and he traveled around New York plus New Jersey.
Yousef assembled the gas enhanced device to deliver it to the WTC.

On Friday, February 26, 1993, Ramzi Yousef and a Jordanian friend, Eyad Ismoil, drove a yellow
Ryder van into Lower Manhattan, and pulled into the public parking garage beneath the World
Trade Center around noon. They parked on the underground B-2 level. Yousef ignited the 20-foot
fuse, and fled. Twelve minutes later, at 12:17:37 pm, the bomb exploded in the underground
garage, generating an estimated pressure of 150,000 psi.

The bomb exploded in the basement. The World Trade Center’s main electrical power line was
knocked out. Smoke rose up to the 93rd floor of both towers. In the course of the trial it was
revealed that the FBI had an informant, a former Egyptian army officer named Emad Salem. Salem
claims to have informed the FBI of the plot to build a bomb that would eventually be used in the
World Trade Center towers as early as February 6, 1992. Salem's role as informant allowed the FBI
to quickly pinpoint the conspirators out of hundreds of possible suspects. The transcripts do not
make clear the extent to which Federal Authorities knew that there was a plan to bomb the World
Trade Center, merely that a bombing of some sort was being discussed. Salem said that the FBI plan
was for Salem to give the conspirators with a harmless powder instead of an actual explosive. The
FBI allowed him to do other actions. Also, the Salem secretly recorded hundreds of hours of
telephone conversations with his FBI handlers. So, the FBI knew about such terrorism. It is no secret
that the FBI has been involved in dubious conduct for decades from illegal spying to other actions. A
granite memorial fountain honoring the victims of the bombing was designed by Elyn Zimmerman
and dedicated in 1995 on Austin J. Tobin Plaza, directly above the site of the explosion. It contained
the names of the six adults who were killed in the attack as well as an inscription.
My Memories of 9/11

I remember everything like it was yesterday. The attacks were evil actions of terrorism and murder.
I was 17 years old and a freshman in college during September 11, 2001. The day started like any
other day. It was a sunny Tuesday morning back then. I came to the university for a few hours
since it was Tuesday. I finished taking a math class on that tragic day. Then, I walked into an
university library in order for me to relax. I used Yahoo chat and people talked about the Twin
Towers burning in that chat. I didn't believe it at first. I thought it was out of the ordinary for such a
heinous act to transpire. I came home and turned on the TV and there it was. I witnessed the
Towers burning, I saw people screaming, and I saw the Towers fall down on national TV. Schools in
my area were let out early in secondary schools and I ate lunch. People freaked out and some
people vandalized Muslim mosques, which was wrong. News coverage of 9/11 happened nonstop
during that day. Peter Jennings and others did their coverage of the tragedy. Also, I told my
relatives that people will remember these events for a long time. Later in the day, Building Number
Seven fell down and no plane hit it. Flight 93 crashed in Shanskville, PA. The Pentagon was hit with a
plane in Arlington, Virginia. People in the streets were in a dazed, shocked look for weeks after
9/11. I always think about 9/11 every day. The events validated my views more. I was a civil
libertarian before 9/11, but afterwards I was even more in favor of promoting civil liberties. By
the time of the Great Recession, I became completely progressive on economic issues.

I take life more seriously since 9/11 and I am a more progressive person since the attacks too. The
Patriot Act and other anti-liberty laws came after the attacks. The neo cons exploited this tragedy as
a way for them to promote Empire instead of real democratic rights. The George W. Bush
administration reached the height of its popularity immediately after 9/11. That administration’s
popularity would radical decline by the time of the early part of the Iraq War and during the Katrina
disaster. The drone attacks and other imperial policies didn't end with Bush. These policies continue
today. We know who did 9/11 and it wasn't one person alone. As time went on, evil wars existed in
Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, etc. These wars caused millions of Muslims and others to be maimed,
tortured, murdered, and displaced. Also, Osama was an ally of the CIA in Operation Cyclone. The
heroes of 9.11 were the firefighters and other rescuers who saved lives. The heroes also included
the activists who called for an independent investigation, those who used charities to support the
victims, and those who make sure that we never forget about the tragedy of the 9/11 attacks. 9/11
was an emotional day.
The events of the September 11th attacks

On the morning of September 11, 2001 at 5:45 am., the hijackers would go throughout security
screening in Portland, Maine. 19 hijackers in total would hijack four California bound commercial
airplanes shortly after their departures from airports in Boston, Massachusetts, Newark, New
Jersey, and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Hijackers Mohamed Atta and Abdul Aziz al-
Omari passed through security at Portland International Jetport in Maine at 5:45 a.m. Atta and al-
Omari boarded a commuter flight to Boston Logan International Airport, where they connect to
American Airlines Flight 11. Three other hijackers will join Atta and al-Omari aboard Flight 11.
Before 9/11, airports were not required to videotape security checkpoints. At that time, knives
were allowed on planes if the blade was less than four inches in length. By 6:00 am, the New York
City polling stations are opened. September 11, 2001 was the time of a primary election day in New
York City. Primary elections were held for mayor, public advocate, comptroller, and other city
offices. On 7:59 am., Flight 11 (or American Airlines Flight 11) took off from Boston. 11 crew
members, 76 passengers, and five hijackers are on board. It has 76,400 pounds of fuel for its
transcontinental run to Los Angeles. By 8:15 am, United Airlines Flight 175 took off from Boston for
Los Angeles. It had 9 crew members, 51 passengers, and five hijackers on board. The flight had
76,000 pounds of fuel. On 8:19 am, Flight 11 crew members contact ground personnel. One flight
attendant named Betty Ann Ong alerted the American Airlines ground personnel that a hijacking
was taking place. She said that the cockpit was unreachable. She used an inflight phone. The phone
call last for about 25 minutes.

Shortly before Ong’s call, a hijacker, likely Satam al-Suqami, had stabbed the passenger seated
directly in front of him in first class. Hijackers Mohamed Atta and Abdul Aziz al-Omari are seated in
close proximity as well. The passenger, identified as Daniel M. Lewin by the flight crew, had served
four years in the Israeli army. The Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks
Upon the United States speculated that he may have tried to stop the hijackers. Lewin was likely the
first person killed in the 9/11 attacks. 8:20 am was the time when American Airlines Flight 77 takes
off from Washington Dulles International Airport. It has six crew members, 53 passengers, and five
hijackers are on board. The flight has 49,900 pounds of fuel. At 8:21 a.m., two minutes into Ong’s
call, the hijackers turn off the plane’s transponder—a device that allows air traffic control to
identify and monitor an airplane’s flight path. Meanwhile, American Airlines authorities relay details
from Ong to their operations center in Texas. Five minutes later, Ong provides the hijackers’ seat
numbers to American Airlines. On 8:24 am., the hijacker Mohamed Atta presses the wrong button
(in trying to communicate with the passengers and crew in the Flight 11 cabin). He alerted the air
traffic control and unwittingly alerting controllers to the attacks. Minutes later, Atta again makes an
unintended transmission to ground control. At least one of Atta’s transmissions is picked up by the
pilot of Flight 175, Victor J. Saracini, who will inform the Federal Aviation Administration of what he
has heard minutes before his own plane is hijacked.

At 8:30 am, 80 people gather to attend the Risk Waters Group financial technology conference on
the 106th floor of the North Tower. Other special events at the World Trade Center planned for
September 11 include the annual National Association for Business Economics (NABE) conference,
already underway in the Marriott hotel, which was an evening dance performance on the World
Trade Center’s outdoor plaza. There was a Peace Corps information session scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
in 6 World Trade Center.

On 8:37 am, Boston Air Traffic Control Center alerted the military (or the U.S. Air Force’s Northeast
Air Defense Sector being the NEADS). This comes after they heard the transmissions from hijackers
Mohamed Atta. The NEADS is headquartered in Rome, New York. Then, the NEADS mobilized the
Air National Guard jets at Otis Air Force Base in Falmouth, MA to identify and follow the hijacked
Flight 11. In 8:42 am, Flight 93 took off. It is scheduled to leave Newark International Airport within
minutes of the other hijacked flights. United Airlines Flight 93 delayed its takeoff because of routine
traffic. It has seven crew members, 33 passengers, and four hijackers. It is bound to San Francisco. It
has 48,700 pounds of fuel. On 8:46 am, the North Tower is attacked with the use of Flight 11. Five
hijackers crash American Airlines Flight 11 into floors 93 through 99 of the North Tower (of 1 World
Trade Center). The 76 passengers and 11 crew members on board including hundreds in the
building are killed instantly. The crash severs all three emergency stairwells and trapped hundreds
of people above the 91st floor. Responders mobilize to help save lives. They include New York City
emergency dispatchers, police, paramedics, and firefighters come to the North Towers.
Immediately after witnessing the crash from 14 blocks north of the World Trade Center, Battalion
Chief Joseph Pfeifer directs New York City Fire Department (FDNY) dispatch to issue a second alarm.
En route to the scene, he signals a third alarm, which calls for 23 engine and ladder companies, 12
chiefs, and 10 specialized units to respond to a plane crash at “Box 8087,” the FDNY’s shorthand
reference for the World Trade Center. Vehicle drivers are instructed to park adjacent to the North
Tower. The Port Authority Police Department (PAPD), responsible for the safety and security of the
World Trade Center in addition to regional bridges, tunnels, airports, and the Port of New York and
New Jersey, mobilizes in response to the attack. Additional PAPD units from other posts dispatch to
the World Trade Center to aid in evacuation and rescue. At 8:50 am., U.S. President George W. Bush
was alerted of the events by his advisers. Bush was visiting an elementary school in Sarasota,
Florida. PAPD Sergeant Al DaVona orders to evacuate both Twin Towers in 8:59 am. One minute
later, PAPD Captain Anthony Whitaker expanded the order to include all civilians in the World Trade
Center complex. In 9:00 am, a report about the hijacking of Flight 175 existed. In 9:03 am, the South
Toward was attacked by the United Airlines Flight 175 (with five hijackers in the plane) into floors
between 77 and 85 of the South Tower (or 2 World Trade Center). All 51 passengers and the rest of
the people in the plane were killed. An unknown amount of people in the building was killed
instantly too. Above the impact zone, people were trapped. 2 emergency stairwells were
impassable. Most of the elevator cables in the place were severed. Some people fell to their death
from the North and South Towers by jumping out of the windows of the Twin Towers.

The response increased by 9:03 am. There was the request of the shutdown of airspace over NYC.
The NYPD called for a second Level 4 mobilization. It brought up the total deployment to nearly
2,000 officers. The New York City Fire Department (FDNY) issues a fifth alarm for the South Tower,
deploying several hundred additional firefighters to the disaster. Additional companies and off-duty
personnel from across the metropolitan area travel to the scene. In 9:05 am, White House Chief of
Staff Andrew Card told the President that a second plane has crashed into the World Trade Center.

25 minutes later, before President Bush leaves the Sarasota, Florida elementary schools, he gave
remarks. He called the attacks a “national tragedy.” He said that he spoke with several officials like
U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, New York Governor Pataki, and FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III.
“Terrorism against our nation will not stand,” President Bush told Americans in a minute long
statement. In 9:05 am, New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani rushed to the NYPD command post
near the World Trade Center. This was where he coordinated his response.

At 9:35 am, the President and members of his staff leave the elementary school. They drive to
Sarasota Bradenton International Airport to board Air Force One. The plane leaves at about 9:54
am. without a clear destination. President George W. Bush prefers to return to Washington, D.C.,
but his staff recommends Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana as an appropriate and secure
location for landing. On 9:12 am, flight attendant of flight 77 named Renee A. May called her
mother (Nancy May) and told her that hijackers have seized control of the plane, and forced
passengers plus crew members to the rear. When they are disconnected, Nancy May called
American Airlines. Minutes later, Flight 77 passenger Barbara K. Olson called her husband, U.S.
Solicitor General Theodore Olson. Theodore Olson was at his desk in the Department of Justice. She
told him that the hijackers took over the flight using knives and box cutters. Theodore Olson alerts
other federal officials. In 9:30 am, there was a report by a Secret Service agent of the possibility of
more additional hijacked planes. This caused the Mayor’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM)
headquarters (found in the 7 World Trade Center) to be evacuated. In 9:36 am, U.S. Secret Service
agents evacuate Vice President Dick Cheney to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center
beneath the White House. National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice was also in the bunker with
Cheney.

On 9:37 am, American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon (with five hijackers in it). The 53
passengers and six crew members on board died. The crash and ensuring fire killed 125 military and
civilian personnel on the ground. By 9:42 am, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) grounded
all flights in America. The FAA ordered all civilian planes in American airspace to land and prohibits
departures. In 9:45 am, the White House, the U.S. Capitol, and other places are evacuated. Many
locations all over America began to close their buildings, bridges, and public spaces. In 9:58 am,
Thirty-seven telephone calls are known to have been made from hijacked Flight 93, most placed
from the rear of the plane. One of the last calls is made by passenger Edward P. Felt, who uses his
cell phone to dial 9-1-1 after closing himself in a restroom to avoid detection. By 9:58 a.m., Flight 93
is flying so low that he succeeds in reaching an emergency operator in nearby Westmoreland
County, Pennsylvania.
 In 9:59 am, the South Tower collapsed. It burned for 56
minutes. It falls in less than 10 seconds. More than 800
civilians and first responders inside the building and in the
surrounding area are killed by the attack on the South Tower.
The continuity of government (COG) plans came about in 9:59
am. too for the first time in American history. COG was like a
secret government in case of an emergency came about. In
10:03 am, four hijackers crash Flight 93 in a field near the
town of Shanksville in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, after

Ground Zero as the rescue workers, but in reality spent as

heavily criticized over this by fire and police officials. During Giuliani's 9/11 Commission hearing he
suggested that firefighters ignored evacuation orders because they unselfishly decided to stay
behind trying to help civilians. This was very disrespectful by Rudy. The truth is that many
firefighters higher up in the towers were unable to hear these evacuation orders due to antiquated
radios. Rudy has links to the Knight of Malta Bill Simon or the son of William Simon (or the former
U.S. Treasury Secretary from 1974 to 1981).
Osama bin Laden

Osama bin Laden was one of the controversial and evil men in our history. He had consciously
chosen a life of irrational extremism and he was part of the CIA-funded efforts to fight the Soviets in
1979 inside of Afghanistan. He was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on March 10, 1957. He died on May
2, 2011 at the age of 54 in Abbottabad, Pakistan (as a product of a U.S. raid in his compound). He
was the founder of Al-Qaeda. His father was the well-known Saudi businessman and billionaire
named Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden (who allied with Prince Faisal of Saudi Arabia. He gave
Prince Faisal financial assistance). He lived from 1908 to September 13, 1967 (in a plane crash).
Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden led a construction company and his family had immense wealth.
He or Mohammed bin Awad bin fathered a total of 77 children by 22 wives. Mohammed never had
more than four wives at a time—divorcing older wives and marrying new ones as needed to limit
the number of current wives to four. Osama bin Laden was raised with a strict religious and moral
code. Osama went into a university. Bin Laden was raised as a devout Sunni Muslim. From 1968 to
1976, he attended the élite secular Al-Thager Model School. He studied economics and business
administration at King Abdulaziz University. Later, joined the mujahedeen forces in Pakistan to fight
the Soviets (under the CIA’s Operation Cyclone) back during the late 1970's.

American forces have aided Saudi Arabia for a long time. The United States and the Muslim
Brotherhood were allies as a way to stop the growth of the pan-Arabic movement nationalism of
Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser including other Arabic working class socialist elements. One analyst of
this process writes:
“It was during the 1958-60 period that the US State Department began to exaggerate the
communist threat to the Middle East, and the ARAMCO CIA, and indeed the Beirut and Cairo CIAs,
began supporting Islamic fundamentalist groups as a counterweight to Nasser. In part, this was an
extension of Kim Roosevelt’s earlier successful use of Muslim elements (Fadayeen Islam) against
leftists in Iran. The anti-Nasser Muslim Brotherhood was funded, religious leaders were prodded to
attack the USSR for its anti-Muslim ways (Said K. Aburish, The Rise, Corruption and Coming Fall of
the House of Saud, St. Martin’s Press, New York, NY, 1996, p. 161).

Civil War occurred in Afghanistan by the 1970’s. Even before the invasion of the country by the
Soviet Union in December 1979, the United States had decided to give financial and military backing
to the Islamic fundamentalist parties engaged in
guerrilla warfare against the Soviet-backed regime
in Kabul, which had come to power in an April 1978
military coup.
US national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski
hoped that a full-scale war in Afghanistan would
prove as debilitating for the USSR as the Vietnam
War had been for the United States. The Carter
administration began to pour in weapons and
money, especially favoring the most right-wing
Islamic fundamentalists, those who became the
ideological forebears of the Taliban and Osama bin
Laden. Ronald Reagan supported the William Casey was a sinister CIA

established Maktab al-Khidamat, which funneled
money, arms and fighters from around the Arab
world into Afghanistan. Through al-Khadamat, bin
Laden's inherited family fortune paid for air tickets
and accommodation, paid for paperwork with Pakistani authorities and provided other such
services for the jihadi fighters.
Osama bin Laden created camps for terrorists during the 1980’s. He founded Al-Qaeda in 1988.
Osama bin Laden had many wives and many children. Osama believed that U.S. foreign policy
oppressed, killed, and harmed Muslims in the Middle East according to former CIA analyst Michael
Scheuer. It is true that many Muslims have been the victims of imperialism and oppression from the
20th century to the present. He wanted Sharia law to govern the world.

During the Persian Gulf War, Osama bin Laden met with King Fahd and Saudi Defense Minister
Sultan and told them that no non-Muslims should assist them and that he could defend Saudi
Arabia with his Arabic legion. The Saudi monarchy rejected his plan and allowed U.S. forces in Saudi
territory. Bin Laden was angered by this and said that the cities of Mecca and Medina should be
protected by Muslims. The Saudi monarchy tried to silence Osama since Osama publicly criticized
the Saudi policy. Osama bin Laden used a fatwa against the United States in 1996 as first published
in Al Qubs Al Arabia or a London based newspaper. It was entitled "Declaration of War against the
Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places." Osama bin Laden’s jihadists committed
terrorism in many places from Africa to the Middle East. In the 1990's, bin Laden's al-Qaeda assisted
jihadis financially and sometimes militarily in Algeria, Egypt and Afghanistan. In 1992 or 1993 bin
Laden sent an emissary, Qari el-Said, with $40,000 to Algeria to aid the Islamists and urge war
rather than negotiation with the government. Their advice was heeded. The war that followed
caused the deaths of 150,000–200,000 Algerians and ended with the Islamist surrender to the
government.

The 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings were a series of attacks that occurred on August 7, 1998, in which
hundreds of people were killed in simultaneous truck bomb explosions at the United States
embassies in the major East African cities of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya. The
attacks were linked to local members of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad. These evil attacks brought
Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri to the attention of the United States public for the first
time, and resulted in the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation placing bin Laden on its Ten Most
Wanted list. Terrorists were in the Yugoslavian conflicts of the 1990’s too.

The September 11th attacks caused Osama bin Laden to be searched heavily by the West. Osama
bin Laden at first denied any involvement in 9/11 and then in 2004 claimed that he had
responsibility for the attacks. One thing is true. Osama is not the only person involved in terror.
Western forces have done terrorism in the four corners of the Earth for a long time. Many al-Qaeda
leaders have died. The death of Osama bin Laden in 2011 outlined a turning point. Al-Qaeda is
weakened in many cases, but ISIS is still powerful. Osama bin Laden’s life and death is a lesson that
murder is wrong, that evil Western imperialism is real (US intelligence in liaison with Britain’s MI6,
an Israel’s Mossad, continues to provide covert support to the radical Islamist organizations), and
that we should reject harming innocent human life.
The Bush/Bin Laden families connections

There is no question that there are business connections between the Bush and Bin Laden families.
Osama bin Laden’s brother was Salem. English papers had shown a photograph from 1971 that
showed Osama when he was 14 and Salem when he was 19. They were in a summer holiday at the
Astoria Hotel in Falun, Sweden. So, the bin Laden family is a very wealthy family. According to the
Daily Mail’s Peter Allen, “…Salem went on to become a business partner of the man who is leading
the hunt for his brother… In the 1970s, he and George W. Bush were founders of the Arbusto
Energy oil company in Mr. Bush's home state of Texas." During the 1970’s, the Bush and bin Laden
family worked together a lot. Salem was the head of the bin Laden family business by 1977. George
W. Bush set up his start up oil company called Arbusto Energy, Inc. and Salem invested in Bush’s
Arbusto Energy, Inc. "Arbusto" actually means "shrub" in Spanish, but the Bush family interpreted it
as "bush." Salem dealt with the construction industry. Many sources have said that James R. Bath
used to send money to Salem bin Laden to set up George W. Bush in the oil business according to
the Wall Street Journal and other sources. Salem met with a tragedy when he died in a flying
accident near San Antonio in 1988. Salem was a close friend of Saudi King Fahd. Arbusto later
became Bush Exploration, when Bush's father became vice president. As the company neared
financial collapse in September 1984, it was merged with Spectrum 7 Energy Corp. in an effort to
stay afloat. During the 1980’s, the controversial BCCI banking institution grew as well.

The BCCI was the Bank of Credit and Commercial International. It was a crooked offshore bank that
the CIA used to run guns to Hussein, finance Osama bin Laden, move money in the illegal Iran-
Contra operation, and carry out other secret agency “ops.” BCCI was created in 1972 by a Pakistani
banker, Agha Hasan Abedi, with the support of Sheik Zayed bin Sultan al Nahyan, ruler of Abu Dhabi
and head of the United Arab Emirates. Its corporate strategy was money laundering. It became the
banker for drug and arms traffickers, corrupt officials, financial fraudsters, dictators and terrorists.
The CIA used BCCI Islamabad and other branches in Pakistan to funnel some of the two billion
dollars that Washington sent to Osama bin Laden's Mujahadeen to help fight the Soviets in
Afghanistan. It moved the cash the Pakistani military and government officials skimmed from U.S.
aid to the Mujahadeen. It also moved money as required by the Saudi intelligence services.

The BCCI was so corrupt that it ended in 1991. The Washington Post reported that the Carlyle
Group (which supported investments globally) met at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington,
D.C. one day before 9/11. In that meeting were former President George H. W. Bush and Shafiq bin
Laden or the brother of Osama bin Laden. Shafig bin Laden is an investor. George H. W. Bush would
make many speeches years ago on behalf of the Carlyle Group. No commercial planes, including
chartered flights, were permitted to fly into, out of, or within the United States until Sept. 13, 2001.
After the air space reopened, six chartered flights with 142 people, mostly Saudi Arabian nationals,
departed from the United States between Sept. 14 and 24. One flight, the so-called bin Ladin flight,
departed the United States on Sept. 20 with 26 passengers, most of them relatives of Osama Bin
Laden.
NORAD

NORAD is the North American Aerospace Defense Command. It is run by USNORTHCOM. It was
created during the late 1950’s. The purpose of NORAD is a combined organization of America and
Canada that provides aerospace warning, air sovereignty, and defense for North America. Its
headquarters are found in Peterson Air Force Base in El Paso County, near Colorado Springs,
Colorado. The nearby Cheyenne Mountain Complex has the Alternate Command Center. The
NORAD commander and deputy commander (CINCNORAD) are, respectively, a United States four-
star general or equivalent and a Canadian three-star general or equivalent. We know that the
Washington Post reported that NORAD discussed the possibility of a hijacked jetliner being flown
into the Pentagon in a suicide attack only months before September 11 (and after Donald Rumsfeld
assumed control of the Department of Defense). The Post article, published April 15, 2004, said:
“While planning a high-level training exercise months before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, U.S.
military officials considered a scenario in which a hijacked foreign commercial airliner flew into the
Pentagon, defense officials said yesterday.” There was an email message from a retired army
officer, written just after September 11, defending the conduct of NORAD during the terrorist
attacks.

The air defense agency was widely criticized for the unaccountable delay in scrambling jet fighters
over New York City and Washington after the four hijackings were reported to the FAA. The officer
recalled that the hijacking scenario had been proposed by one NORAD planner and was rejected by
“Joint Staff action officers” as “too unrealistic.” His email also cited opposition from the US Pacific
Command, which regarded the notion as a distraction from “their exercise objectives.” A Pentagon
spokesman confirmed that the scenario had been suggested and rejected for the exercise, known as
Positive Force, which was to practice control of military forces under wartime conditions where the
Pentagon building itself had been made unusable. Forty-four minutes elapsed between the crash of
American Airlines Flight 11 into the World Trade Center and the launching of fighters from the
Langley Air Force Base in Virginia. No fighters were launched from Andrews Air Force Base, the
closest facility to Washington. It remains unclear when President Bush issued an order to authorize
air defense fighters to shoot down hijacked airliners, and how or even whether that order was
communicated through the Pentagon to NORAD fighter pilots. NORAD officers have said they did
not learn of the order until 10:10 a.m. on the day of the attacks, after the fourth jet crashed in rural
Pennsylvania. The agency initially failed to turn over documents sought by the 9/11 commission,
forcing the panel to issue a formal subpoena to the Pentagon.

During the morning of 9/11, the U.S. sponsored war games were taking place. Some included “live-
fly” exercises where actual aircraft were simulating the behavior of hijacked airlines in real life. This
paralyzed the FAA, NORAD, and the Air Force from using Standard Operation Procedure they had
applied in other times. On September 11, at least five different war games were conducted by the
military and the intelligence agencies. They were the CIA/National Reconnaissance office “plane
into building” exercise, Vigilant Guardian, Vigilant Warrior, Northern Vigilance, Northern Guardian,
and Tripod II. These exercises included simulations of 9/11 type events like a plane into the building
scenario near Dulles Airport in Virginia. (and deployment fighters to northern Canada and Alaska). A
bio war exercise was also about to start in New York City. Fake clips on radar diverted interceptors.
The war-games tie into the military industrial complex and ultimately the Bush administration since
they controlled the war-games ultimately.
Saudis, Israelis, and Other Information

There is no question that a certain amount of Saudis have links to 9/11. That is why people want the
release of the 28 missing pages from the Joint Congressional Inquiry’s report. The two alleged
hijackers Khalid Al-Mihdhar and Nawaf Al-Hazmi, came to the U.S. in January 2000, they
immediately met with Omar Al-Bayoumi, a suspected Saudi spy and an employee of a Saudi aviation
company. Al-Bayoumi, who was the target of FBI investigations in the two years before 9/11,
became a good friend to the two 9/11 suspects, setting them up in an apartment and paying their
rent. President George W. Bush is a friend of Prince Bandar bin Sulton or the Saudi Ambassador to
America. They met in Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas on August 27, 2002. Al-Mihdhar and Al-Hazmi
then moved in with a long-time FBI asset, Abdussattar Shaikh, who was said to be a teacher of the
Saudi language. Shaikh allowed them to live in his home for at least seven months, later saying that
he thought they were only Saudi students. In an unlikely coincidence, both Al-Bayoumi and Shaikh
also knew Hani Hanjour, the alleged pilot of Flight 77. Journalist Joseph Tento claimed that an
unnamed former CIA officer (who worked in Saudi Arabia) told him that Alhazmi and Almihdhar
were Saudi spies (protected by the U.S. authorities). Former CIA Director in 1997 George Tenet had
close ties to officials in Saudi Arabia like Prince Bandar. Bandar and Tenet often met at Bandar’s
home near Washington. Tenet did not share information from those meetings with his own CIA
officers who were handling Saudi issues at the agency. Bandar and Tenet often met at Bandar’s
home near Washington. Tenet did not share information from those meetings with his own CIA
officers who were handling Saudi issues at the agency.

After 9/11, former FBI director Louis Freeh, whose agency failed to stop Al Qaeda-attributed
terrorism from 1993 to 2001, became the personal attorney for Tenet’s dubious cohort, Prince
Bandar. Sometimes called “Bandar Bush” for his close relationship to the Bush family, Bandar was
the Saudi intelligence director from 2005 to 2015. The Kroll Associates was the company that
designed the security system for the WTC complex. Kroll Associates had strong connections to Saudi
Arabia. For example, Kroll board member Raymond Mabus, now Secretary of the Navy, was the U.S.
Ambassador to Saudi Arabia in the 1990s. All four of the contractors that were involved in
implementing Kroll’s security design for the WTC had done significant business in the Saudi
kingdom. Stratesec, the company that installed the overall electronic security system at the WTC
complex, had also managed security for Dulles airport, where Flight 77 took off, and for United
Airlines, which owned two of the three other planes. For many reasons, the company’s managers
should be known in any research of 9/11.

Stratesec was in partnership with a large Saudi engineering and construction company to develop
and conduct business in Saudi Arabia. Another interesting connection between Stratesec and Saudi
Arabia was that, in the years leading up to 9/11, Stratesec held its annual shareholders’ meetings in
an office that was leased by Saudi Arabia. This was an office in the Watergate Hotel occupied by the
Saudi Embassy (run by Prince Bandar). The Saudi government was sued by thousands of 9/11
victim’s family members due to the suspicion that Saudi Arabia helped to finance Al Qaeda. The
Saudis hired the law firm of Bush Administration insider James Baker to defend them in that
lawsuit. The world’s leading insurance provider, Lloyd’s of London, filed a lawsuit alleging Saudi
involvement in the 9/11 attacks. Lloyd’s dropped the lawsuit just days later without explanation. So,
the CIA had links with many of the Saudi elites.

There are discussions about some Saudis having links to the 9/11 attacks. Speaking Sunday on NBC’s
“Meet the Press” talk show, Central Intelligence Agency Director John Brennan categorically denied
the involvement of Saudi Arabia in the September 11 terror attacks, while demanding that
documents pointing to its complicity remain hidden from the American people. Now, there is a
debate on whether the 28 pages of the joint congressional inquiry report on the attacks (which was
completed in 2002) should be released. That section on Saudi involvement has been secret for 14
years. Calls even from the U.S. political establishment want those pages to be released publicly.
Brennan has a lot of power as head of the CIA. The official story of 9/11 is defended by Brennan.
We know that the CIA has made mistakes for years and decades. The White House has opposed
legislation that would mandate the release of the document and the White House has opposed
legislation to allow 9/11 victims’ families to sue Saudi Arabia over the attacks. While acknowledging
that the documents “point to Saudi involvement,” he nevertheless claimed that the reports were
“uncorroborated, un-vetted, and basically just a collation of this information that came out of FBI
files.”

He added, “I think some people may seize upon” this information to conclude that Saudi Arabia was
involved, “which I think would be very, very inaccurate.” At the same time, he argued that the
documents were being kept hidden because of the “sensitive methods” and “investigative action”
used in collecting them.

Brennan has shown self-contradictory statements, which is similar to a cover up. We know that
Saudi Arabia’s involvement is extensive. The evidence of Saudi involvement includes the fact that 15
of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals and several of them received financing from Saudi officials.
Moreover, Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person convicted of participation in the plot to hijack
airplanes and fly them into the World Trade Center and other US targets, has testified in court that
he worked as a courier between Osama bin Laden and the Saudi royal family, including Prince
Salman, who is today the King of Saudi Arabia. Moussaoui also asserted that high-level Saudi
officials and members of the Saudi royal family, including Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the long-time
Saudi ambassador to Washington, directly financed Al Qaeda. Democratic Senator Robert Graham,
co-chair of the Joint Congressional inquiry into the 9/11 terrorist attacks, said earlier this year that
there is “a pervasive pattern of covering up the role of Saudi Arabia in 9/11, by all of the agencies of
the federal government, which have access to information that might illuminate Saudi Arabia’s role
in 9/11.” By extension, folks have discussed about the involvement of U.S. intelligence agencies in
the events of 9/11. The CIA has long standing and close ties with its counterparts in Saudi Arabia.
The 9/11 hijackers, despite being under surveillance, were able to freely travel in and out of the
country and attend flight schools, despite repeated warnings from other countries and from
individuals within US intelligence.

“We have a very strong relationship with Saudi Arabia,”

including “intelligence,” Brennan said in his interview, adding,
“I have very close relations with my Saudi counterparts.” In
addition to being the largest customer of the US military-
industrial complex, having purchased over $100 billion in
weapons from the US, Saudi Arabia has been the nexus for
every clandestine and criminal alliance between the United
States and Islamist forces for nearly four decades. The big lie is
that Osama bin Laden alone created the 9/11 attacks. Under
the CIA’s Operation Cyclone, conducted between 1979 and
1989, the United States and Saudi Arabia provided $40
billion worth of financial aid and weapons to the This picture shows then President
George W. Bush talking with Bandar
mujahedeen “freedom fighters” waging war against Soviet
bin Sultan, Saudi Ambassador to the
forces in Afghanistan, an operation in which then-US ally
U.S. in America.
Osama bin Laden played a key role. The proxy war in
Afghanistan was pivotal in the later creation of Al Qaeda.
More recently, Saudi Arabia has been a key player, along with Turkey and Qatar, in funneling US
money and weapons to Islamic fundamentalist groups in Syria beginning in 2011 as part of the civil
war targeting Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The U.S. and Saudi Arabia has supported the attacks
in Yemen as well in 2016.

Many people have talked about Israel too. Months before 9/11, the two Zionists named Larry
Silverstein and Frank Lowy took over the entire World Trade Center complex from the Port
Authority. The Port Authority ran the buildings for decades. These people like Silverstein and Lowy
are connected to Netanyahu, Sharon, Ehud Barak, Rupert Murdoch, and Israel’s national security
establishment. In February 2001, Bush nominated Rabbi Zakheim to serve as Comptroller at the
Pentagon and Under Secretary of Defense. On May 4, Dov Zakheim was sworn in as Pentagon
Comptroller and Chief Financial Officer for the Department of Defense. ICTS' subsidiary, Huntleigh,
shared security duties at Boston's Logan Airport on September 11, 2001, where two of the four
planes hijacked for use in the attacks originated. According to Logan Airport officials, the company
provided gate and baggage security services for United Airlines. Huntleigh faced multiple lawsuits
for alleged screening failures by its workers at Logan Airport, but denied any liability for those
cases.

ICTS International N.V. is a Dutch firm that develops products and provides consulting and
personnel services in the field of aviation and general security. It was established in 1982, by former
members of the Shin Bet, Israel's internal security agency, and El Alairline security agents. The
company's shares are traded on OTCQB under the symbol ICTSF. Some Jewish students were
arrested on 9/11. They were seen cheering while the towers went down. They were driving a truck
belonging to Urban Moving Systems, largely an Israeli company headquartered in New Jersey. After
the men had been arrested, a police dog reacted to traces of explosives inside the van, but nothing
was found. The men were eventually returned to Israel. They denied links to the Mossad and
explained that they had taken it upon themselves to document what they were seeing. Some
believe that they were cheering, because the attack meant a stronger alliance among U.S. and Israel
in conducting the war on terror. The owner of Urban Moving System fled to Israel soon after 9/11
and it is suspected by some that the company was used for intelligence operations by the Mossad.
Larry Silverstein made the pull it comment about the World Trade Center 7. Some believe pull it
meant destroy and some don’t (as in pull meant remove the firefighters from the location). Saudi
Arabia and Israeli are American allies. Also, Saudi Arabia and Israel has collaborated economically
and politically for years. Another point is to be mentioned too.

*While, I disagree with many of the policies of Saudi Arabia and Israel, I don't subscribe to
Islamophobia and I oppose Antisemitism. I’m not going to condemn all Jewish people and I’m not
going to condemn all Muslim people either. The truth is that America is allied with Saudi Arabia and
Israel to promote Western interests worldwide.
United States Government Foreknowledge of Potential Terror Attacks.

It is a historical fact that the United States government received warnings from even foreign
countries that terrorist attacks were coming in America (even in the realm of planes) for years. This
reality has been documented for years. Immediately following the attacks, President George W.
Bush stated that: "Nobody in our government at least, and I don't think the prior government, could
envisage flying air planes into buildings" and National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice claimed:
"no-one could have predicted that they would try to use an airplane as a missile." An Air Force
general called the attack: "something we had never seen before, something we had never even
thought of.” A few days after the attacks, FBI Director Robert Mueller announced: "There were no
warning signs that I'm aware of that would indicate this type of operation in the country.” We know
that these comments are outright falsehoods and lies. Even Mueller noted that an FBI agent in
Minneapolis said Moussaoui might be "that type of person that could fly something into the World
Trade Center.” Mueller said this warning should have been followed more vigorously. Here are
many examples of the U.S. government receiving warns of various attacks against America
(including attacks using planes as weapons):

1. Chris Whipple from Politico wrote about how the Bush administration ignored a warning of an
attack from the CIA months before 9/11 along with others that were far more detailed than
previous revealed. There was the “Bin Laden Determined to Strikes in U.S.” CIA Presidential daily
brief. It was given to President George W. Bush on August 6, 2001. Months earlier during the spring
of 2001, the CIA repeatedly warned the White House that an attack was coming. On May of 2001,
Cofer Black (then chief of the CIA’s counterterrorism center” mentioned that: “it was very evidence
that we were going to be struck, we were gonna be struck hard and lots of Americans were going to
die.” Gorge Tenets told Cofer that: “There were real plots being manifested.” July 10, 2001 was a
meeting where the CIA talked about these things. It was first reported by Bob Woodward in 2006
and Tenet wrote about it in general terms in his 2007 memoir “At the Center of the Storm.” Tenet
and Black during the Spring of 2001 sent the Blue sky paper to Bush’s new national security team.
They wanted to strike at Al-Qaeda.

2. And a top NSA whistleblower says that the NSA had all of the information it needed prior to 9/11
to stop the attacks. The only reason NSA didn’t share that information with other agencies is
because of corruption … in an effort to consolidate power. And widespread spying by the U.S.
government on Americans began before 9/11. Ryan Singel wrote an article for Wired on
10/11/2007 entitled, “NSA Domestic Surveillance Began 7 Months Before 9/11, Convicted Qwest
CEO claims.” This shows that NSA surveillance was more extensive than some perceive. An FBI
informant hosted and rented a room to Mihdhar and another 9/11 hijacker in 2000.

3. The Bojinka Plot was a foiled large-scale al-Qaeda terrorist attack to blow up eleven airliners and
their passengers as they flew from Asia to America, due to take place in January 1995. In September
2002, one year after the 9/11 attacks, The Chicago Sun-Times reported that:
"The FBI had advance indications of plans to hijack U.S. airliners and use them as weapons, but
neither acted on them nor distributed the intelligence to local police agencies. From the moment of
the September 11 attacks, all high-ranking federal officials insisted that the terrorists’ method of
operation surprised them. Many continue to stick to that story. Actually, elements of the suicide
hijacking plan were known to the FBI as early as 1995 and, if coupled with current information,
might have uncovered the plot."

4. In April 2001, NORAD ran a war game in which the Pentagon was to become incapacitated; a
NORAD planner proposed the simulated crash of a hijacked foreign commercial airliner into the
Pentagon, but the Joints Chiefs of Staff rejected that scenario as "too unrealistic.”

5. On the morning of September 11, 2001, the National Reconnaissance Office, which is responsible
for operating U.S. reconnaissance satellites, had scheduled an exercise simulating the crashing of an
aircraft into their building, 4 miles (6 km) from Washington Dulles International Airport.

6. The US administration, CIA and FBI received multiple prior warnings from foreign governments
and intelligence services, including France, Germany, the UK, Israel, Jordan, Afghanistan, Egypt,
Morocco and Russia. The warnings varied in their level of detail, but all stated that they believed an
Al-Qaeda attack inside the United States was imminent. British Member of Parliament Michael
Meacher cites these warnings, suggesting that some of them must have been deliberately ignored.
Some of these warnings include the following: On March of 2001, Italian intelligence warns of an al-
Qaeda plot in the United States involving a massive strike involving aircraft, based on their wiretap
of al-Qaeda cell in Milan. On July of 2001, Jordanian intelligence told US officials that al-Qaeda was
planning an attack on American soil, and Egyptian intelligence warned the CIA that 20 al-Qaeda
Jihadists were in the United States, and that four of them were receiving flight training. August 2001
– The Israeli Mossad gives the CIA a list of 19 terrorists living in the US and say that they appear to
be planning to carry out an attack in the near future. August 2001 – The United Kingdom is warned
three times of an imminent al-Qaeda attack in the United States, the third specifying multiple
airplane hijackings. According to the Sunday Herald, the report is passed on to President Bush a
short time later. September 2001 – Egyptian intelligence warns American officials that al-Qaeda is in
the advanced stages of executing a significant operation against an American target, probably
within the US.

7. FBI agent and Al-Qaeda expert John P. O'Neill warned of an al-Qaeda threat to the United States
in 2000. He retired from his position in mid-2001, citing repeated blocking of his investigations of al-
Qaeda by FBI officials. After his retirement from the FBI, the World Trade Center hired him as its
chief of security. He started work on August 23, 2001; 9/11 rescue workers found his body in a
staircase inside the south tower rubble.

8. According to Senator Bob Graham, who was chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee from
June 2001 through the buildup to the Iraq war, "Two of the September 11, 2001, hijackers had a
support network in the United States that included agents of the Saudi government, and the Bush
administration and FBI blocked a congressional investigation into that relationship," as reported by
the Miami Herald. And in Graham's book, Intelligence Matters, he makes clear that some details of
that financial support from Saudi Arabia were in the 27 pages of the congressional inquiry's final
report that were blocked from release by the administration, despite the pleas of leaders of both
parties on the House and Senate intelligence committees." In March 2012 as part of a lawsuit by
9/11 victims’ families Graham and another former U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey said in affidavits that
they were certain there were direct links between the Saudi government and the attacks.
The Collapse of the Twin Towers

The collapse of the two Twin Towers were tragic events. What caused the collapse of both towers
has been the subject of debate and discussion for 15 years. The South Tower collapsed at 9:59 am,
which was less than an hour after being hit by the second hijacked airliner. By 10:28 am, the North
Tower collapsed. Each World Trade Center tower consisted of 110 stories and was about 1,350 feet
(400 meters) high, the sides measuring 208 feet (62 meters) in length. There were six basement
levels: B1 to B6. B1 consisted of a maintenance floor, followed by several levels of parking lots, as
well as a subway station and tenant spaces. One of the freight elevator pits was located in the
bedrock at "B7.” This elevator could stop from B6 to the 109th floor. Each tower consisted of a core
and separate perimeter structure of steel columns. The perimeter structure protected the core
from wind stresses. The total amount of steel used per tower was an estimated 100,000 tons,
roughly 1/5 of the total weight of each building. Every floor of the inner and outer structure was
ringed by steel girders to which the floors were attached. The floors themselves consisted of a
relatively thin layer of concrete laying on top of relatively thin steel trusses. The core structure
carried 60 percent of the weight of the building.

The official story of the collapse has been promoted by the American Society of Civil Engineers
(SEI/ASCE), FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency), and of course the NIST (or the
National Institute of Standards and Technology). Immediately after the attacks, a building
performance study (BPS) team of engineering specialists was formed by the SEI/ASCE and FEMA.
The BPS issued its report in May 2002. It said that the aircraft impacts caused "extensive structural
damage, including localized collapse" and that the resulting fires "further weakened the steel-
framed structures, eventually leading to total collapse." They also presented recommendations for
more detailed engineering studies of the disaster. The famous NIST investigation also consulted
outside engineering entities. This investigation was completed in September 2005. The NIST
investigators did not find anything substandard in the design of the WTC towers, noting that the
severity of the attacks and the magnitude of the destruction was beyond anything experienced in
U.S. cities in the past.

They also emphasized the role of the fires and found that sagging floors pulled inward on the
perimeter columns: "This led to the inward bowing of the perimeter columns and failure of the
south face of WTC 1 and the east face of WTC 2, initiating the collapse of each of the towers.” Also,
it is important to note that many people disagree with the conclusions of the NIST. Many
researchers believe that the Towers fell by a controlled demolition. While NIST never criticizes
FEMA for having left behind so little steel, obviously this test suffered from a severe lack of
available material. Tests on perimeter columns of the South Tower couldn't even be carried out,
because "none of the nine recovered panels from within the fire floors of WTC 2 were directly
exposed to fire." There are sincere people on both sides of this issue. My advice is for people to do
their own research and make up your own minds on how the Twin Towers fell. What is definitely
true that the Towers falling was a sad event and we send condolences to the victims of 9/11.
WTC# 7

World Trade Center 7 is a building in lower Manhattan. The original WTC & was completed in 1987
(with 47 stories tall with a red exterior masonry and it occupied a trapezoidal footprint). In 1988,
Salomon Brothers signed a long-term lease, and became the main tenants of the building. It was
destroyed by the evil September 11 attacks. During 9/11, WTC 7 was damaged by debris when the
nearby North Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed. The debris also ignited fire. The current
recreated World Trade Center Number Seven was opened in 2006. Both buildings were developed
by Larry Silverstein, who holds a ground lease for the site from the Port Authority of New York and
New Jersey. The new 7 World Trade Center has 52 stories and is 741 feet tall. It has 42 floors of
leasable space, starting at the 11th floor, and a total of 1,700,000 sq. ft. (160,000 m2) of office
space. It has stainless steel design in it too. Some call the building as the safest skyscraper in
America. It has Otis destination elevators. World Trade Center collapsed on the time of 5:20:33 pm.
EST. The World Trade Center 7 is part of the World Trade Center complex. There has been a huge
debate about whether explosives or not were used in WTC 7.

First, more facts must be shown here. World Trade Center Seven wasn’t hit by an airplane, it was
largely undamaged for a time, it had its fireproofing intact for a time, and it collapsed from the
bottom instead from the top. Structural engineer Tony Szamboti is part of the engineers affiliated
with the Architects & Engineers for 9/11. He said that the NIST report has flaws. The NIST believed
that the WTC 7 fell by fire alone. The final Report of the NIST avoided physical testing, but use
computer models heavily. Even the NIST had to admit that the diesel fuel was not responsible for
the collapse as the official story of 9/11 claimed. The NIST ignored the many points of evidence of
molten steel at the building’s base and the steel sulfidation as documented by FEMA. This debate
has continued to this very day. The Madrid tower partially collapsed; the hotel in Beijing remained
fully intact. The fact that Building 7 collapsed in seconds, nearly symmetrically, and with only a
fraction of the fire that the Madrid (in 2005) and Beijing (in 2009) towers experienced. The NIST
believes that WTC 7 fell by fire and debris. The World Trade Center 7 collapse changed history
forever.

“We must rapidly begin the shift from a "thing-oriented" society to a "person-oriented"
society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are
considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and
militarism are incapable of being conquered.”

-Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The Pentagon

The Pentagon is located in Arlington County, Virginia. It is the headquarters of the United States
Department of Defense. As a symbol of the military, it is related to many policies related to foreign
policy. The American architect George Bergstrom designed the Pentagon. It was built by general
contractor John McShain of Philadelphia. Ground was broken for construction on September 11,
1941 and the building was dedicated on January 15, 1943. General Brehon Somervell provided the
major motive power behind the project; Colonel Leslie Groves was responsible for overseeing the
project for the U.S. Army. The Pentagon is one of the world's largest office buildings, with about
6,500,000 sq. ft. (600,000 m2), of which 3,700,000 sq. ft. (340,000 m2) are used as offices.
Approximately 23,000military and civilian employees and about 3,000 non-defense support
personnel work in the Pentagon. It has five sides, five floors above ground, two basement levels,
and five ring corridors per floor with a total of 17.5 mi (28.2 km) of corridors. The Pentagon includes
a five-acre (20,000 m2) central plaza, which is shaped like a pentagon and informally known as
"ground zero", a nickname originating during the Cold War on the presumption that it would be
targeted by the Soviet Union at the outbreak of nuclear war.
The western side of the building was damaged by the 9/11 attacks done by the hijacked American
Airlines Flight 77. The attack killed 189 people total (or 59 victims in the plane, 5 hijackers, and the
125 victims in the building). It was the first significant foreign attack in Washington, D.C.’s
government facilities during the 21st century, which was similar to the burning of Washington D.C.
during the War of 1812. The Pentagon is about 28.7 acres. We know about how the Pentagon was
involved in nefarious actions and how the CIA has been involved in evil, clandestine activities since
its inception from 1947. One myth is that view that no plane hit the Pentagon. This myth is common
among many people who are sincere and others who are outright disinformationists. One such
person is Steve Pieczenik. He was an assistant and chief anti-terrorist hostage negotiator at the
State Department to Rockefeller allied members Henry Kissinger, Cyrus Vance, George Shultz, and
James Baker. He listed himself as member of the AFIO and the National Military Intelligence
Association. He was a member of the CFR too, which is an establishment organization. He was an
ally of the Reagan administration and is a reactionary person. Joel Skousen promotes the no-757 hit
the Pentagon myth too. Joel is the nephew of the Mormon Cleon Skousen (he wrote the 1970
conspiracy best-seller 'The Naked Capitalist' (largely a review of Carroll Quigley's book 'Tragedy and
Hope'). The Skousens have ties to the Council for National Policy. The CNP is a far right organization
(who abhor the separation of church and state, many human rights, and other legitimate
progressive views) with establishment ties. Oliver North and the Blackwater founder Erik Prince are
members of the CNP. Many witnesses have said that they saw an airplane crash into the Pentagon.
Images show debris of an airplane surrounding the Pentagon area. Quotes from the aftermath of
the crash site offer no proof that something other a 757 hit the building. So, a 757 plane hit the
Pentagon.
The 9/11 Commission Report

After 9/11, the Bush White House pushed back against any independent investigation into 9/11 for
a time. When the White House agreed to an independent investigation, it provided a budget of $3
million or 27 percent of the amount requested by the 9/11 Commission co-chairs Thomas Keane
and Lee Hamilton. The White House wanted to use Henry Kissinger to lead the 9/11 Commission.
That changed after Kissinger resigned a month later. Kissinger was an ally of Nixon and he is a very
controversial person. The 9/11 Commission was created to promote the establishment line on 9/11.
The commission was established on November 27, 2002 (442 days after the attack) and their final
report was issued on July 22, 2004. The report was originally scheduled for release on May 27,
2004, but a compromise agreed to by the Speaker of then House Dennis Hastert allowed a sixty-day
extension through July 26. The establishment view of 9/11 is that hijackers crashed planes into
buildings and the government had no foreknowledge of such attacks. That view, of course, is totally
false. The members of the commission had overt ties to the establishment. Thomas H. Kean was the
Chair of the Commission and Lee H. Hamilton was the Vice Chair. Other members of the
commission included Max Cleland (he was replaced after he asked real questions), Fred F. Fielding,
Jamie S. Gorelick, Slade Gorton, John F. Lehman, Timothy J. Roemer, and James R. Thompson. The
Chair Thomas H. Kean was a former New Jersey Governor and he was on the board of the Amerada
Hess petroleum company, which had business dealings with Saudi interests. Senator Cleland left the
Commission since he accurately said that the U.S. government knew more about the terrorists
before September 11 than it has been admitted.

Max Cleland also said that the investigation is compromised. Cleland was replaced with then
Senator Bob Kerrey. Kerrey was in Vietnam. The 9/11 Commission back then didn’t look at Cheney’s
energy task force documents (which proves that oil was one major factor on why the Bush
administration attacked Iraq), the warnings of 9/11 style attacks from many foreign governments,
and the radar tapes and tapes of air traffic controllers in the FAA, military and all other agencies
with access to this information, with a "chain of custody" to prove that this information had not
been altered in any way. The Commission didn’t show full details on the CIA/National
Reconnaissance war games that took place on 9/11 simulating planet into building scenario and the
NORAD/Air Force war games that were also taking place during hat morning that confused some air
traffic controllers for crucial minutes, thinking it was the exercise and not an attack. The Family
Steering Committee has watched the actions of the Commission and they include victims’ relatives.

Ironically, years later, many members of the 9/11 Commission has expressed skepticism about their
own commission (as it is filled with distortions and fabrications). There has been a cover up of the
evidence. Some of them are proposing to set up a new investigation.

9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says “I don’t believe for a minute we got everything right”,
that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, and
that the 9/11 debate should continue.
The Commission’s co-chairs said that the CIA (and likely the White House) “obstructed our
investigation.”
9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that “There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be
some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn’t have access . . . .”
9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer said “We were extremely frustrated with the false statements
we were getting.”

We won’t let evil stop us. We will promote goodness

and justice in the world.

9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: “It is a national scandal”;
“This investigation is now compromised”; and “One of these days we will have to get the full story
because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it
up”. When asked in 2009 if he thought there should be another 9/11 commission, Cleland
responded: “There should be about fifteen 9/11 commissions.”
An FBI informant hosted and rented a room to two hijackers in 2000. Specifically, investigators for
the Congressional Joint Inquiry discovered that an FBI informant had hosted and even rented a
room to two hijackers in 2000 and that, when the Inquiry sought to interview the informant, the FBI
refused outright, and then hid him in an unknown location, and that a high-level FBI official stated
these blocking maneuvers were undertaken under orders from the White House.
According to NBC News, Much of the 9/11 Commission Report was based upon the testimony of
people who were tortured. At least four of the people whose interrogation figured in the 9/11
Commission Report have claimed that they told interrogators information as a way to stop being
“tortured.”

We know now that the U.S. intelligence community is complicit in foreknowledge of 9/11 style
attacks and they exploited the attacks as a means for them to execute the destructive war on
terror.

9/11 Truth
The 9/11 Truth movement is diverse amount of
people who are well known in America and in the
world. They have been praised and criticized.
They are diverse, but they are unified in believing
in that view that the official story of 9/11 is false.
They don’t believe that 9/11 is a surprise attack.
Some have gained popularity over the years and
many of them have built up various
organizations. The 9/11 Truth Movement has
done some good in getting more people
interested in researching about the war on terror
and to question authority. They have done a
great job in organizing protests and organizing
people to promote human civil liberties and
peace. Some 9/11 Truth members unfortunately
have promoted overt hoaxes that only advance
falsehoods not truth. There are two major
factions of the 9/11 Truth Movement. One faction
are sincere human beings, who try to document
information, and who want serious research to be
presented to the public. The other faction of this
movement include people who promote
disinformation, falsehoods (like the myth that no
plane hit the Pentagon, which only distracts from
real issues), and don’t advance serious,
documented research. The 9/11 truth movement
members met in March 2004 at the International
Inquiry into 9/11, held in San Francisco,
California. There is the intersectionality of the
9/11 Truth movement too. Many of them are
allied to the peace, environment justice, and anti-
imperialist movements.
9/11 still has many questions. We know that just before 9/11, George W. Bush was ready to sign
papers to involve the U.S. in Afghanistan. Also, many of the folks who claim to be against
governmental corruption are allied with far right movement (and excuse neoliberal capitalism).
Some of them falsely equate neoliberalism with socialism when socialists defended labor rights and
human rights for decades and centuries. Some of them even equate any kind of government
intervention with communists. Some of the paleoconservative, anti-government individuals dismiss
any health care programs and have a fetish of gun rights (there is nothing wrong with an innocent
person owning a gun, but criminals should never own a gun).

Some of these paleaoconservative info-entertainers want to sell products and are multimillionaires
at the expense of promoting paranoia and other problems. We know which info-entertainer that
I’m talking about. He’s from Austin, TX. His name is Alex Jones. It is what it is. On February 12, 2016,
Alex Jones praised Barry Goldwater. Goldwater was the man who opposed the federal Civil Rights
Act of 1964 and didn’t rule out using nuclear weapons in Vietnam. His friend was General Curtis
LeMay (he executed firebombing of even Japanese civilians during World War II) who tried to
provoke war with the Russians during the 1950’s and the 1960’s. Alex Jones is silent on the
American Security Council, the World Anti-Communist League, the Council for National Policy, the
Western Goals Foundation, and Le Cercle. Alex Jones is also the friend of the notorious racist and
sexist Ted Nugent. Birds of a feather do flock together.

It is true that many political elites have done evil against many people and the Third World people,
but I reject anti-progressive lies that are meant to advance xenophobia, sexism, and racism. Now, it
is very important to expose government corruption. We know that false flag operations have
existed for generations from Operation Ajax to Operation Gladio. We know that the oligarchy have
done illegal actions. I have noticed that these paleaoconservatives only attack the “liberal” Eastern
Establishment. They never attack the establishment groups like the Council for National Policy, the
American Security Council, Le Cercle, the Pilgrim Society, the John Birch Society, etc. because these
groups have links to the John Birch Society and other far right organizations. Leading Skulls & Bones
author is Kris Millegan. He published the works of Sutton, Iserbyt, and others. His father is Lloyd
Millegan, who was a ranking OSS, Army G2, and CIA officer. Lloyd Millegan Sr. was acquainted with
John Foster Dulles from a very young age. A few years later Millegan, Sr. was recruited into the OSS
and kept tabs on the notoriously reactionary and stubborn General Douglas MacArthur as one of
the general's staffers. A full decade later, in 1956, years before the massive American troop
involvement in the Vietnam War broke out, he was partying with General Edward Lansdale and
even a few North Vietnamese leaders in Saigon. Dulles, along with his brother, later belonged to the
Pilgrims. MacArthur and Lansdale were favorites of the American Security Council. Even author
Alexandra Robbins was a member of the Scroll & Key.

Gordon Duff is senior editor of Veterans Today, has promoted the missile into the Pentagon myth.
Dick Eastman is not only a person who believes in the light that no 757 hit the Pentagon. He is an
evil anti-Semite who believes in the slander of Holocaust denial. Jewish people, Roma, black people,
etc. died in the Holocaust by the murderous actions of the evil Nazis. I’m glad that the Allied forces
defeated the Nazis by 1945. Many of the disinformation agents are racist Holocaust deniers like
Ryan Dawson. Dr. Richard Falk is a CFR member, a proponent of the no plane hit the Pentagon
myth, and he was a vocal support of the radical Ayatollah Khomeini back in the day.

The CNP have members with links Oliver North and Jack Abramoff. The son of CNP board member
Elsa Prince, Erik Prince, later founded and chaired Total Intelligence Solutions and Blackwater USA,
the private CIA and Bush White House nexus of the JSOC assassination programs in the post 9/11
world. Blackwater later changed its name to Academi, with the new chairman being a long-time key
shareholder in Coast to Coast AM. Top-level neocon, former CIA director and known CNP speaker
James Woolsey chairs the advisory board of Executive Action, LLC, a firm named after the CIA's term
for assassination. Also, these palaeconservatives who talk about conservativism readily believe in
unrestrained corporate fascism by opposing any kind of involvement of the state in the market.
Some want a ban on taxes and a powerless government. There is a huge difference between
moderate socialism and communism. Even socialism is a reality in the world and has helped many
people. The corporation that treats its personnel the worst - the lowest wages, the least amount of
benefits, the longest hours, the harshest spy and enforcement measures against unionists, etc. are
abysmally unjust. Even the good parts of FDR's New Deal program (with similar programs appearing
in Western Europe) had progressive parts to it. It established a minimum wage, a maximum number
of working hours, abolished child labor, provided pensions, and set up watchdog agencies for banks
and corporations. To a large extent it ended the age of the robber barons and is one of the
cornerstones of the modern social democracy. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with exposing real
conspiracies, yet we must use accurate information and inspiration to call for justice.

The official story is accurate to mention that many Islamist extremists wanted to attack America.
Yet, it ignores how that anger is a product of U.S. & Western intervention in the Middle East. Also,
the official story ignores definitely ignores how governments have exploited terrorist attacks for
their own aims of expanding the power of the oligarchy. The official story ignores how U.S. allies
provided specific warnings about terrorist threats. Many FBI agents who tried to stop the attacks
were blocked by headquarters. That was obstruction not incompetence. The official story ignores
the CIA’s “plane into building exercise” and NORAD war games (which were conducted by Western
forces) during that morning. Around noon on 9/11, air traffic controllers who handled some of the
hijacked flights made a recording recalling their experiences of the events from a few hours earlier.
The tape was later destroyed by an unidentified FAA supervisor without any transcripts taken. The
9/11 Truth Movement correctly says that there was a deliberate conspiracy to use the attacks as an
excuse to promote the war on terror, an invasion in Middle Eastern and Central Asian nations, and
for the West to get resources throughout the Earth. The 9/11 Truth movement is right that the 9/11
Commission is a complete whitewash of the facts. Some 9/11 truth people unfortunately mix true
conclusions with myths and falsehoods (like the no plane hit the Pentagon myth and the pod myth).
So, the 9/11 Truth Movement has been praised, reviled, and slandered. One thing is true. The 9/11
Truth Movement is here to stay. The 9/11 Truth movement has been courageous to show their
views whether people agree with them or not.
 We certainly want accountability, the truth, and justice for all.

The War on Terror

The evil attacks on September 11, 2001 started the war on terror. It was been almost 15 years since
the war on terror commenced and we know the truth. The truth is that the destructive war on
terror has not ended terrorism and it has caused not only an abrogation of many of our civil
liberties (via the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, the NDAA, etc.). There has been the buildup of
police state powers in America and the growth of the Pentagon’s Northern Command too. Opium
 production (used to make heroin) in Afghanistan
plummeted under Taliban rule in 2001, but then
ballooned again when US forces retook control of the
region. The historic crackdown in Boston after the
Boston Marathon bombing shows how our democratic
rights are violated all of the time for years and
centuries in America. We have seen the growth of
unjust wars and the destabilization of the Middle East.
Domestically, massive NSA spying and militarized
police in New York City, Washington, D.C., etc. are
common place. There is a global recession in the world
and police brutality exists in NYC, Baltimore, Los
Angeles, Milwaukee, and throughout the Earth. We
have many developments of how Western intelligence
forces have aided terrorist entities for decades and
during the war on terror too. One example is how
US/NATO forces have funded jihadist terrorist forces
who overthrown Gaddafi’s Libyan government. Al-

Beijing, Shanghai, Madrid, Mumbai, and in Eastern Europe including Ukraine (which is near

operations are taken place simultaneously in the
Middle East, Eastern Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, Central Asia, and in Asia. One lie during this era is
that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction in a mass scale and it was a direct threat to America.
That lie influenced the creation of the 2003 Iraq War (along with the West wanting more oil and
water resources in the Middle East). There are also the ongoing connections between the US
intelligence agencies and Al Qaeda-allied groups, which have resurfaced again in Libya and Syria,
where Al Qaeda forces have been a key element in US-backed operations for “regime change.” Wall
Street bankers who were involved in corruption are not readily prosecuted and those who
organized the torture policy in America are not prosecuted either. Today, we have a financial
aristocracy who influences the corporate media, political parties, and foreign policy in many
different ways. The war on terror has been destructive in the world. I am in opposition to the war
on terror completely and I believe in justice for all.

*There are always connections between the CIA and AIG. When you research 9/11 and the war on
terror, CIA footprints are all over the political elites and the war on terror. Maurice Greenberg was a
leader of AIG (until 2005 and he criticized AIG over financial practices later). He had been a close
ally of the CIA for decades. He was once considered as deputy director of the CIA by the Reagan
administration. AIG was a close partner of Kroll by the later 1990’s. Kroll was the primary security
consultant to the WTC since the 1993 bombing. Kroll were responsible for revamping security at the
World Trade Center after the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Kroll had many ties to British
special operations veterans and others. Blackstone didn’t manage to acquire the mortgage of WTC
7 until the year of October 2000. From 1999 to early 2001, AIG and Peter Peterson’s Blackstone
failed to buy up Kroll. AIG had full access to the North Tower impact floors.

Those floors were occupied by Marsh and McLennan, which was ran by the son of Maurice
Greenberg. Henry Kissinger has been an advisory chairman of AIG since 1987. Henry Kissinger,
Maurice Greenberg, and Peter Peterson have been friends for decades. These are very powerful
people. They all visited the Trilateral Commission and they are friends with other powerful people
like Paul Volcker, John Whitehead and David Rockefeller. Whitehead, Peterson and Volcker had
known Joseph Kasputys, the tenant of impact and collapse floors 77 and 78 of the South Tower for
years, as had CIA man Frank Carlucci, another Trilateral Commission participant. In November of
2000 AIG announced that CIA covert operations expert David Cohen had been appointed vice
president of AIG's Global Trade & Political Risk Insurance Company. Also involved in setting up and
running the New York Police Department's intelligence bureau was Larry Sanchez, another veteran
CIA operations officer. He later went back to working for the CIA and was sent to the Persian Gulf.
The Blackstone Group is ran by Peter G. Peterson, who was the mortgage holder on WTC 7. Peter
Peterson, its chairman, is a member of the Pilgrims Society, a member of the Trilateral Commission,
a former chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations and a very close friend of David Rockefeller.

*No good fruit comes from a rotten tree. Therefore, the war on terror since its inception has caused
evil fruit. The evil fruit of this war on terror include death, murder, torture, huge debt unnecessarily
caused by the war of terror, racial profiling, violations to human civil liberties, etc. During the
1970’s, Richard Helms (a former CIA Director) was the founder of the private CIA-Saudi “Safari Club”
network. Esam Ghazzawi hosted 9/11 ring leader Mohammed Atta in his Florida mansion and was in
contact with several other 9/11 terrorists over the phone. Ghazzawi suddenly fled the U.S. on
August 30, 2001, one day before Prince Turki announced his sudden resignation as chief of Saudi
intelligence (from 1977-2001).
 “Oppressed people, whatever their level of formal education, have the ability to
understand and interpret the world around them, to see the world for what it is,
and move to transform it.”

Conclusion

The Cold War ended with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. As for 9/11, we know the
truth. Osama bin Laden back during the 1970’s had ties to the CIA and the intelligence community
of the West. He founded Al-Qaeda and many terrorist groups have ties to Western agencies for a
long time. Bin Mahfouz was an important former BCCI director and he was in business with the
CIA’s Frank Carlucci and George H. W. Bush. The CIA Counterterrorist Center (CTC), under later War
on Terror fundamentalist Cofer Black, was aware from March 2000 and on that Nawaf al-Hazmi and
Khalid al-Mihdhar had entered the United States via Los Angeles, immediately after attending an Al
Qaeda conference in Kuala Lumpur, which the CTC was also aware of. The CTC didn't put this pair
on watch lists. Neither did it inform the FBI about them. On its own the FBI figured out that these
men were financed and supported by a Saudi intelligence asset with covert financial ties to the wife
of Bandar Bush, a close friend of the Bush family.

Joseph Kasputys, tenant of the South Tower's impact and collapse floors, had various direct and
indirect ties to the Carlyle Group, both pre and post 9/11. Carlucci and former president George H.
W. Bush, both with a CIA background, were key individuals of this company. Carlucci knew Kasputys
for years before 9/11 through the Committee for Economic Development and Bush almost certainly
through the Council for Excellence in Government. In addition, Kasputys' associate Patrick Gross ran
a company owned by the Carlyle Group. Carlucci, George H. W. Bush and James Baker met Shafig
bin Laden, an older half-brother of Osama bin Laden, on the morning of the day before 9/11
(according to the Washington Post) at a Carlyle meeting (in the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington,
D.C.). Senators Bob Graham and Jon Kyl also served on the board of the NED in 2001. Both were in
contact with Pakistani backers of Al Qaeda, along with CIA covert operations veteran and AFIO
member Porter Goss. On the morning of 9/11 these three men were having lunch with an ISI
general who was accused of wiring $100,000 to Mohammed Atta, the ringleader of the 9/11
hijackers. Porter Goss was a CIA Director. Atta was training in Florida and the flight school in
Florida back then was ran by Rudi Dekkers and Wally Hilliard. According to Anton Surikov:

“…Bin Laden is a figure that has been deliberately created, a half-mythical person to take the public
attention away from the real organizers of radical Islamic terrorism:…Saudi Arabia and its special
services…” “Concerning the connection between Saudi Arabia and the U.S. (on the level of special
services), I think it is evident.”

So, the attacks on 9/11 were bigger than people using planes to crash into various buildings.
Innocent human beings were murdered by evil people. Certain intelligence members and the
political establishment exploited the evil September 11 attacks as an excuse for them to promote
the murderous, nefarious war on terror (which is filled with torture, illegal wars, other war crimes,
etc.).

We know that the Bush/Cheney administration was

elected after blatant voter fraud after the 2000 Election.
They tried their best to try to obstruct any independent
9/11 inquiry. There was a conspiracy by the Bush/Cheney
team and their allies to use deception in order for them to
invade Iraq. That administration has enacted recklessness
in conducting economic affairs. The administrations of
Bush and Obama have promoted policies that undermine
the Constitution and civil liberties with the activation of

Street bankers, which contributed to the air without adequate medical treatment. Soon, it will be
Great Recession. the eighth anniversary of the collapse of the investment
bank Lehman Brothers. This was almost the end of the
entire major financial system in America. For eight years
and counting, world central banks (that includes the US
Federal Reserve) funneled trillions of dollars into the markets. This inflated new asset bubbles and
sent the wealth of the financial aristocracy into new levels. Still, the world economy is stagnated,
economic increase is growing, and progressive movements have been formed to address class plus
racial justice issues. Also, there is the refugee crisis in Europe. This has been a product of the
imperialist policies from the war on terror. We see many people dying in Libya, Syria, Iraq, and in
the Mediterranean Sea. In late May 2016, there was up to 900 refugees drowning to their deaths in
the Mediterranean. In total, over 8,000 refugees have died who have attempted to make the
dangerous crossing of the Mediterranean to Europe since 2014.

That is a tragedy. Most of them started their voyages from the coast of Libya. “We came, we saw,
he died,” exclaimed Hillary Clinton to a television reporter on October 20, 2011. Hillary's comments
about her gloating over the murder of Muammar Gaddafi (without due process of law or a trial).
Such a murder is not only condoned by Hillary, but by the US/NATO forces who committed war
crimes in Libya, which destabilized Libya. This is the worst global refugee crisis in the world since
World War II. The ongoing massacre in the Mediterranean has not been mentioned by Hillary
Clinton, Donald Trump, and Bernie Sanders in an elaborate way that condemns Western
imperialism.

Both Republicans and
Democrats have promoted over
a quarter of a century of U.S.
military interventions, proxy
wars, and regime change
operations. The civil war in
Syria has caused Washington
and its regional allies to call for
regime change. This civil war in
Syria has caused Syrians to be
refugees in Lebanon, Jordan,
Turkey, and Iraq. Also, many
Al-Qaeda linked Islamist
militants have served as proxy
forces for the regime change
operation. They have caused
terror in Syria, Iraq, etc. Many
of these Syrian refugees came
into Europe. There are African
refugees too from countries like
Nigeria and Somalia, where US
be victorious.
Special Operations troops and
drone strikes are being
employed in a further extension
of the global war on terror.
Refugees deserve their human
rights to be protected. They
should be treated with
compassion, dignity, and with
respect. Xenophobia is common
in America with Trump calling
for a wall to be built along the
U.S./Mexican border (and he
wanting no Muslims to come
into America). In Europe, there
is massive xenophobia anti-
immigrant chauvinism too. This
has contributed to the death toll
in the Mediterranean. While the
European Union’s sealing off of
the Balkan route for refugees
has diverted them to the far
more perilous Mediterranean,
the crackdown on the US-
Mexican border has sent those
attempting to enter the US into
more and more dangerous
areas of the desert where many
die of exposure. This policy is
supported by both parties. Even
Hillary Clinton wants the
deportation of child refugees
from Central America. The 2016
election includes the race
between Hillary Clinton and
Donald Trump (whose
comments about women are
evil and deplorable. Trump is a
liar and a bigot). So, we defend
the human rights of refugees
and immigrants as we struggle
against war.
We believe in truth and justice for the victims of 9/11. We will believe in
the Dream now in 2016 and beyond.

Never Forget
