September 11 Attacks: The Greatest Fraud of the 21st Century

11.09.2009 
 

September 11, 2009 marks eight years since the day of tremendous terrorist attacks in the United States. The tragic events still raise many questions. Why did the twin towers collapse if they were built to stand a much stronger blow? How did some of the “suicide bombers” remain alive afterwards? Where is the clear footage of the plane crashing on the Pentagon?

2,973 people were killed in the series of terrorist attacks in New York and Washington on September 11, 2001. Two twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City tumbled down as a result of the attacks. A part of the Pentagon building was demolished in Washington. 

The WTC used to be a symbol of power of the United States during the end of the 20th century. The towers were built in the beginning of the 1960s to show something grand to Americans and make them feel proud of their nation. 

The towers were built instead of 164 buildings that were standing on the location of the would-be giants. The total weight of steel, which was used in the construction of the towers, exceeded 200,000 tons. Electric cables used for the buildings had the length of 3,000 miles, which is a half of the distance between New York and London. As a result, two 110-storeyed 450-meter high monsters changed NY’s skyline for good, as everyone believed. 

The structure of the buildings was simple and wise: the buildings were designed to stand powerful earthquakes. 

The buildings were opened on April 4, 1973. They could live for ages, but they collapsed in 28 years. The questions, which many people have in this connection, still have no answers. 

How could huge steel columns smelt because of the kerosene, the burning point of which is four times as low as the smelting point of steel? About a dozen of cargo planes loaded with white phosphorous should have slammed into each of the two towers to make them collapse like a house of cards. Or the buildings should have been previously mined. 

There are plenty of versions to explain what really happened in the USA on September 11, 2001. Newsweek wrote on September 16, 2001 that five of 19 hijackers had been trained at US army bases. Three terrorists had driver licenses and technical passports of the vehicles registered at the US naval base in Pensacola. 

The mysterious details of the terrorist acts set off speculation about the possible participation of US top officials in the attacks, who used them to reach their political goals. 

If it is true it only means that US strategists had not thought of anything new. Roman Emperor Nero set Rome on fire to blame Christians for that. Hitler set Reichstag ablaze to lay the blame for it on his adversaries. 

The USA resorted to a number of political provocations in its history before. In 1898, the Americans imitated a Spanish attack on the United States in Havana to deprive Spain of its control over Cuba. In 1911, Hurst, a media mogul and newspaper tycoon, who could lose his land in Mexico, launched a propaganda campaign to make the USA declare war on Mexico. Many of his newspapers wrote that hundreds of thousands of Mexican soldiers were approaching the US borders. 

The US administration was informed about Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, but did not take any measures to prevent it. The people were strongly against the USA’s participation in WWII, whereas the government was eager to play the game of war to enjoy the redivision of the world afterwards. All aircraft-carriers had left Pearl Harbor shortly before the attack, but left outdated battleships there.

Another provocation was made a year later with a view to have Canada involved in the war. It was said that a Japanese submarine supposedly attacked a lighthouse near Vancouver on June 20, 1942. There is every reason to believe that Japan would not have taken such a great risk because of such an insignificant object. It was later said that the type of shells that were used to attack the lighthouse could not be fired from Japanese submarines. 

US special services made a global presentation of the complete list of terrorists and their photos several hours after the 9/11 attacks. However, five “deceased” terrorists suddenly emerged in Saudi Arabia. They did not leave the country nor did they hijack the passenger jetliners. Does it mean that the list had been prepared before the attacks? 

What about the crash of the Boeing in Pennsylvania? The crater on the site of the plane crash was filled with tiny fragments only. Even if the plane was carrying a cargo of hexogen, the hull would not have been turned into dust. 

And here comes the most surprising fact. Condoleezza Rice, who was taking the post of the National Security Advisor at that time, was on the phone with San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown eight years before the tragedy. Ms. Rice recommended the mayor not to fly to New York on September 11th

Britain’s The Times wrote after the tragedy that George W. Bush let a private plane from Saudi Arabia cross the US territory to pick up about a dozen of Osama bin Laden’s relatives and take them out of the country. 

None of Bin Laden’s relatives were summoned to appear at the FBI. There was not even an attempt made to find out if they had any information. 

Will the mysteries of 9/11 ever be unraveled?

“Stop the 9-11 cover-up”

American citizens are pounding the streets, still searching for answers because the official version of the 9/11events has failed to satisfy many people, and there are calls for a fresh investigation into the tragedy.

The push for another investigation into the 9/11 attacks grows larger with each passing year, particularly today when the US is commemorating the eighth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, which claimed almost three thousand lives.

Manuel Badillo’s uncle died when the Twin Towers came down. He believes the US leaders had prior knowledge of the impending attacks but consciously failed to act.

He asks, “Why was there no justice yet? Why is there no accountability?”

Badillo is among roughly 80,000 New Yorkers petitioning for a new, impartial, probe to answer the questions many believe state and federal officials are failing to address.

Manuel Badillo says, "The majority of family members do not believe the story. First responders do not believe what they were told by the government. All of this turned out to be lies, what we have been told. 60% of the commissioners do not believe the story they received."

Critics say the 9/11 Commission Report, presented as the official version of events, failed to hold a single individual accountable for the numerous warnings leading up to, on and after September 11.

The NYC Coalition of Accountability Now (CAN) is an organization that is focused on getting a referendum during this November’s mayoral election, to allow New Yorkers the chance to vote for a new 9/11 investigation.

“It’s absolutely essential for the world, for the well-being of the world, that we understand why 9/11 occurred; who was behind it,” says Ted Walter, executive director of CAN. “Because if we have a false understanding, we’re going to be basing policies on that false understanding.”

Pressure’s even coming from the west coast – Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen has written a 15-page public letter to the president calling for another 9/11 inquiry.

But a move like Sheen’s can be quite a gamble in the domain of American public opinion. Just ask Van Jones, Obama’s former ‘green jobs tsar’. He stepped down because of hysteria over his support for and association with 9/11 truth-finders.

“Van Jones should have stuck to his feelings and to his democratic actions that he took, and his intuition, because the majority of Americans, the majority of New Yorkers, all the polls show it, know the government did not tell us the entire story about 9/11,” says Manuel Badillo.

Eight years ago all New Yorkers were standing shoulder-to-shoulder on the day nearly three thousand people perished from attacks. Now the citizens are standing on one side, police officers on the other, and many are asking for accountability, a demand from which these Americans refuse to back off.
