SECTION 1. THE GOVT DELIBERATELY LET IT HAPPEN.

 

1.1 AIRFORCE STANDOWN

 

If one accepts the official story about how the hijackings occurred , then the air force would have to have been stood down in order to ensure the success of the attacks , as the following research articles conclusively demonstrate.

 

It has become popular mythology  in the media that fighter jets were scrambled to intercept the hijacked planes. This is not true .

1.1.6 Russian Air Force chief says official 9/11 story impossible

http://emperors-clothes.com/news/airf.htm

 

Scrambling of fighter jets to intercept stray aircraft is a routine procedure.

Here's an example of how routine it is.

http://newsmine.org/archive/9-11/norad-faa-response/jeb-bush-plane-intercepted.txt

 

The procedures were already in place before Sept 11 2001.

They were implememnted  67 times in the 10 months between September 2000 and June 2001.

It is impossible to believe that such a total and systematic failure of routine air defence procedures was simply due to incompetence. And even if one were to propose this, why has there been no inquiry into this aspect of Sept 11, and why has not one official been sacked or even reprimanded for criminal negligence ?

 

I have seen bigger inquiries into car crashes at race tracks.

 

1. 2  The complicit behaviour of George W. Bush

 

An examination of the movements of George W. Bush on the morning of Sept 11, and the subsequent lies told by Bush, the govt and the media to try to cover up his movements demonstrates that Bush had prior knowledge of the attacks , pretended to know less than he did once they began, and conspired to ensure that nothing was done to minimize or prevent them.


It has become common mythology in the media that George W. Bush was already at Booker Elementary School when he learned of the first WTC crash. This is a lie.

This is not the only lie which has been told about his movements that morning. See how many times the story has changed.

White House Cover-up Creates More Problems than it Solves
by Jared Israel and Francisco Gil-White [7 October 2002]

Bush claims to have seen the 1st WTC impact live on TV while at Booker school and to have thought at the time that it was an accident. We know that this is a lie - a) because he hadn't yet arrived at the school when it happened. b) because the first impact was not broadcast live. No footage of it was shown live.

Comments by Jared Israel [Posted 12 September 2002]

http://emperors-clothes.com/indict/liar.htm

 

Why did the President - after being told "America is under attack" continue to listen to schoolchildren reading for another 20- 25 minutes ? Why was he cheering, smiling and joking even as it was known that at least one more hijacked plane was on the loose ? View the TV footage which proves treason at the top level.

 

1.2:6 http://www.emperors-clothes.com/indict/vid.htm

 

Clinton was impeached for lying about an affair. Bush is lying about where he was, what he was doing and what he knew during the crucial period between 8.45 and 9.45 A.M. on Sept 11.

 

1.3 OTHER EVIDENCE OF GOVT FOREKNOWLEDGE

 

In the first few hours after the attacks, it was reported on US TV networks that investigators were already looking into huge volumes of insider trading on airline stocks in the weeks leading up to the attacks. Investigative and regulatory authorities could easily find out who placed these trades, apparently attempting to profit from foreknowledge.

Why has this story since completely disappeared? More than two years later, we see no sign of any inquiry. If the executive director of the CIA had previously managed the firm which handled much of the trade, are we expected to believe that authorities can't find out who was responsible? Clearly, they don't want to know - or at least ,don't want us to know.

National Security Advisor Rice and Whitehouse spokesman Fleischer lied in saying that nobody had ever conceived of planes being used in this manner. Their statements are in this article,

And there are other examples of this possibility having been widely recognized prior to Sept 11.

In article 1.3.6 Rice also lied in saying that any threat had been overwhelmingly perceived as being overseas. The statement she made is in this press briefing.

1.4: THE COVER UP

 

In spite of the magnitude of the attacks, and the fact that even the official story recognizes catastrophic failures of intelligence, while trying to gloss over the similarly catastrophic failures of standard airline security and air defence procedures, the White House has fought tooth and nail against any serious inquiry into Sept 11. Even the watered down inquiries which have taken place so far have been bitterly opposed by the White House and only conceded due to tremendous public pressure. They have been almost completely restricted to the issue of "intelligence failures" prior to the attacks, leaving the glaring issues of the air force stand down, and Bush's  complicity and subsequent lies, as well as the insider trading unaddressed.

SECTION 2.  THE GOVT DIDN'T JUST "ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN" - IT PLANNED, ORGANIZED AND CARRIED OUT THE ATTACKS ITSELF.

 

The evidence in section 1 demonstrated that even if we uncritically accept the govt claims about 19 Arabs hijacking 4 planes and deliberately crashing them, we have overwhelming proof that the govt must have known about the attacks beforehand and been deliberately complicit in allowing them to happen. As strong as this evidence is, it only scratches the surface. The following evidence will demonstrate that the official story of the hijackings is total fiction.
