INTRODUCTION: -

By now it is hard to bring anything new to the 911 truth movement other than catalogue the hardcore public domain information from reputable sources, so with a bit of narrative that will help put such information into perspective, here we go...

WHO STOOD TO GAIN?

POLITICALLY: -

• Rumsfeld Exploits 9/11 To Defend Failed Iraq Policy - In an interview last night, Bill O’Reilly asked Rumsfeld about the ongoing violence in Iraq and the hundreds of billions of dollars the U.S. has spent on the war. Rather than answer the questions, Rumsfeld shamelessly exploited the tragedy of 9/11 to deflect them. Rumsfeld would have us believe the war in Iraq has reduced the threat of terrorism. Actually, it has turned Iraq into “the training ground for the next generation of ‘professionalized’ terrorists,” according to the National Intelligence Council, an arm of the CIA.

• Privacy has suffered since 9/11, report says - Anti-terrorist measures taken by the federal government since Sept. 11, 2001, have seriously eroded Canadians' privacy, and the trend will worsen unless the Privacy Act is overhauled, a new report says.

• Bush Wanted To Invade Iraq If Elected in 2000 - Two years before 9/11, candidate Bush was already talking privately about attacking Iraq, according to his former ghost writer. Two years before the September 11 attacks, presidential candidate George W. Bush was already talking privately about the political benefits of attacking Iraq, according to his former ghost writer, who held many conversations with then-Texas Governor Bush in preparation for a planned autobiography. “He was thinking about invading Iraq in 1999,” said author and journalist Mickey Herskowitz. “It was on his mind. He said to me: ‘One of the keys to being seen as a great leader is to be seen as a commander-in-chief.’ And he said, ‘My father had all this political capital built up when he drove the Iraqis out of Kuwait and he wasted it.’ He said, ‘If I have a chance to invade….if I had that much capital, I’m not going to waste it. I’m going to get everything passed that I want to get passed and I’m going to have a successful presidency.”

• Post 9/11, extradition of criminals easier - The deportation from Portugal of Abu Salem, accused of engineering the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts, along with his wife and Bollywood starlet Monica Bedi, marks another feather in India's cap in extraditing wanted criminals. "This clearly is the biggest catch, but the CBI has been successful in getting back other criminals in the last three years.

• Former Bush aide: US plotted Iraq invasion long before 9/11 - GEORGE Bush’s former treasury secretary Paul O’Neill has revealed that the President took office in January 2001 fully intending to invade Iraq and desperate to find an excuse for pre-emptive war against Saddam Hussein.    (Alt. Backup Link)

• Did civil liberties fall with the Twin Towers? Ramifications of the Patriot Act still being argued - The worst terrorist strike on American soil in the nation's history also triggered wide-ranging changes to citizens' civil liberties in ways that, three years later, remain the subject of keen debate. In a report issued this week, on the eve of the third anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the national organization Human Rights First said some steps taken by the government were "sensible and appropriate" while others represent a "disturbing erosion" of civil liberties.

• President Bush authorised secret monitoring after 9/11 - President George Bush has admitted he authorised secret monitoring of communications within the United States in the wake of the 2001 terror attacks. He said the monitoring was of "people with known links to al-Qaeda and related terrorist organisations". The President said the programme was reviewed every 45 days, and made clear he did not plan to halt the eavesdropping. He also rebuked senators who blocked the renewal of his major anti-terror law, the Patriot Act, on Friday. He said they acted irresponsibly and were endangering the lives of US citizens.

• Surveillance and its snowball effect: Imagine cars having secretly installed GPS devices to track drivers. It's not that far-fetched - Bush administration officials struggled today to defend themselves in the wake of new reports of government surveillance of ordinary Americans, while congressional leaders of both parties called for increased scrutiny of White House access to individuals' personal data. An article in today's edition of USA Today revealed that all domestic vehicles sold in this country in the last four years have been secretly equipped with electronic devices that enable their locations to be precisely and constantly monitored by the National Security Agency. The newspaper reported that the Big Three automakers - General Motors, Ford and Daimler-Chrysler - were approached by government officials shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and agreed to install the GPS devices on all their vehicles.

• PERSPECTIVE: GOP memo touts new terror attack as way to reverse party's decline - A confidential memo circulating among senior Republican leaders suggests that a new attack by terrorists on U.S. soil could reverse the sagging fortunes of President George W. Bush as well as the GOP and "restore his image as a leader of the American people."

• Eye scans: A high-tech hall pass? - The brushed aluminum box on the brick wall glows purple, a rim of light around an unblinking HAL-like eye. You peek in and stare for a second, and the steel doors click open. A soothing female voice says: "Identification is completed." Freehold Borough School District installed the iris-scanning devices in its three schools last month. It and a district down the road in New Egypt are the first U.S. school systems to study what happens when adults are asked to eye-scan to get in the door each day. Privacy and safety experts — as well as locals — are divided over the use of such technologies. But as more school districts make safety a priority after 9/11*, many say such biometric devices could become standard issue.  (*COMMENTARY: Problem > Reaction > Solution... just as it was intended, this is why the bugger needs exposing so badly! - Not that 9/11 had anything to do with stealing children from schools... just a chilling effect to make citizens feel insecure.)

AIDING THE TERRORISTS

• FBI claims Bin Laden inquiry was frustrated: Officials told to 'back off' on Saudis before September 11 - FBI and military intelligence officials in Washington say they were prevented for political reasons from carrying out full investigations into members of the Bin Laden family in the US before the terrorist attacks of September 11. US intelligence agencies have come under criticism for their wholesale failure to predict the catastrophe at the World Trade Centre. But some are complaining that their hands were tied.

• Tearful FBI Agent Apologizes To Sept. 11 Families and Victims - In a memorandum written 91 days before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, an FBI agent warned that Americans would die as a result of the bureau's failure to adequately pursue investigations of terrorists living in the country. FBI Special Agent Robert Wright, Jr., who wrote the memo, led a four-year investigation into terrorist money laundering in the United States. Wright began crying as he concluded his remarks at a Washington press conference Thursday. "To the families and victims of September 11th - on behalf of [FBI Special Agents] John Vincent, Barry Carmody, and myself - we're sorry," Wright said before walking out of the room. Vincent and Carmody have also expressed a desire to expose information regarding alleged FBI missteps prior to Sept. 11. Wright's June 9, 2001 "Mission Statement" memo warned that, "Knowing what I know, I can confidently say that until the investigative responsibilities for terrorism are transferred from the FBI, I will not feel safe.

• Scandal Inside the FBI: Did G-Men Miss the Boat on 9-11? – NewsMax.com has learned that active FBI Special Agent Robert Wright Jr. is about to blow the whistle on his superiors for hindering investigations that might have prevented the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11. Judicial Watch, the public interest law firm, scheduled, then postponed, a press conference for Wednesday where Wright, cloaked in anonymity until now, was going to tell the entire story. The shocking details should be out in a few days. Wright complains that when he tried to continue and pursue certain terrorist investigations, he met with retaliation from his bosses and from the Justice Department, which made it clear that it wanted the probes to go no further.

• Agent: FBI Could Have Prevented 9-11 – A veteran FBI agent Thursday charged that corruption inside the bureau derailed investigations that could have averted the terrorist attacks on America on Sept. 11. His lawyers said the FBI had evidence that the World Trade Center was a possible terrorist target. In a memo written 91 days before Sept. 11, Special Agent Robert G. Wright Jr. warned that Americans would die as a result of the FBI's failure to investigate terrorists living in this country.  Wright went public at a press conference even though FBI Director Robert Mueller ordered him to stay in Chicago and threatened him with criminal prosecution if he spoke publicly about the agency's wrongdoing.

• Indian Times Again Highlights Goss-Hijackers Link: ...Goss is well-clued to issues in the Indian sub-continent, although he is said to take the conventional American view about the vital role Pakistan has in the war on terrorism without examining how and why the country became a magnet for terrorists. Most controversially, Goss was having a breakfast meeting in Washington with the then ISI chief Mahmoud Ahmad at the exact instant the 9/11 hijackers flew their planes into the World Trade Center. Ahmad was a Taliban supporter who was subsequently removed from his job when he continued to bat for the outlaw regime post 9/11. Some reports have suggested that Ahmad and the ISI had links to -- or foreknowledge about -- 9/11. A money transfer from Karachi to the hijackers in Florida has never been fully explored or explained. Ahmad was never called to account for this or his support to the Taliban post 9/11 even as General Musharraf moved him into the shadows.       RELATED: Who is Mahmoud Ahmad - Wikipedia

• Bush took FBI agents off Laden family trail

• Alleged Hijackers May Have Trained at U.S. Bases: The Pentagon has turned over military records on five men to the FBI - U.S. military sources have given the FBI information that suggests five of the alleged hijackers of the planes that were used in Tuesday’s terror attacks received training at secure U.S. military installations in the 1990s.  THREE OF THE alleged hijackers listed their address on drivers licenses and car registrations as the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Fla.—known as the “Cradle of U.S. Navy Aviation,” according to a high-ranking U.S. Navy source. Another of the alleged hijackers may have been trained in strategy and tactics at the Air War College in Montgomery, Ala., said another high-ranking Pentagon official. The fifth man may have received language instruction at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Tex. Both were former Saudi Air Force pilots who had come to the United States, according to the Pentagon source.

• Agent Faults FBI on 9/11: The man who caught Zacarias Moussaoui testifies that higher-ups blocked his efforts to determine whether there was a larger plot - The FBI agent who arrested Zacarias Moussaoui weeks before Sept. 11 told a federal jury Monday that his own superiors were guilty of "criminal negligence and obstruction" for blocking his attempts to learn whether the terrorist was part of a larger cell about to hijack planes in the United States.

How does he live with the knowledge? Does he still think his son is alive?

None of the four was in the United States on September 11 and all are alive in their home country.

PHYSICAL CONTRADICTIONS SURROUNDING DAMAGE TO THE PENTAGON 

(Un-Answered Questions from both the 'Mainstream' and 'Alternative' medias)

QUICK COMMENT FROM THE WEBMASTER: Was it a missile that slammed into the Pentagon?, was it a Boeing 757?, or was it a custom built missile 'faked-up' to look like a Boeing?   We try not to get too heavily involved in this issue as our task is to cover elements that we can run with (with confidence).  Here we provide some links for anyone who wants to look at this aspect of the 9/11 attacks. 

• BBC In pictures: Pentagon crash - A sequence of five newly-released pictures shows the moment a hijacked American Airlines plane slammed into the Pentagon on 11 September, 2001. The photos, taken by a surveillance camera, show the date of 12 September and the time of 1737, even though the crash took place the day before at 0937 local time.

• Pentagon: Hunt the Boeing! And test your perceptions!

OTHER CONTRADICTORY ARTICLES REGARDING DODGY INFO: -

They're telling us that 911 was carried out by a conspiracy of Islamic fundamentalists who acted alone, but they can't get their stories straight, so to neutralise the interest in 'what happened' and 'who is responsible' (the two biggest lies) they give out information that 'may or may not be true' so that when confronted with evidence to the contrary, they can then 'back-peddle'.

• Germany to drop 9/11 plot charges - German prosecutors are preparing to drop all the most serious charges against the only man convicted for the 11 September attacks, because they fear that crucial American evidence was obtained by torturing detainees.

• FBI had DNA samples of 9-11 terrorists before attack: 9/11 parts split by good and evil - The city scientist who led the effort to identify 9/11 victims said officials made sure to keep the remains of the three terrorists identified away from those of the innocents killed. The remains of the killers were removed from the medical examiner's makeshift memorial park on the East Side and "put in another place," Robert Shaler, former head of the medical examiner's forensic unit, told the Daily News. In "Who They Were," his new inside account of the identification effort, Shaler writes that he believes the terrorists identified were in the back of the planes - and not the monsters who plowed the jets into the towers.

MORE CONTRADICTIONS - DRILLS PRIOR TO 9/11: -

(The Bush Administration has stated on many occasions that they never imagined such a scenario as we saw on 911... hang on a minute!)

• Bush says he had no 9/11 warning (n.b. There are official accounts of prior knowledge that show that this statement is a lie).

• NORAD had drills of jets as weapons Yet the Bush administration maintain that they never even imagined such a scenario!

DRILLS ON THE MORNING OF 9/11: -

Having drills take place which mirror the events which are simultaneously intended to take place, is an effective way of creating a paralysis and delay in any likely response.  It also creates a great 'well we were confused between what was real life and what was the exercise' excuse when looking at culpability.

• Agency planned drill for plane crash last Sept. 11 - In what the government describes as a bizarre coincidence, one U.S. intelligence agency was planning an exercise last Sept. 11 in which an errant aircraft crashed into one of its buildings. But the cause wasn't terrorism -- it was to be a simulated accident. Officials at the Chantilly, Va.-based National Reconnaissance Office had scheduled an exercise that morning in which a small corporate jet crashed into one of the four towers at the agency's headquarters building after experiencing a mechanical failure. The agency is about four miles from the runways of Washington Dulles International Airport.    (Alt. Backup Link)

• Federal agency planned plane-crashing-into-building drill ... last Sept. 11 - In what the government describes as a bizarre coincidence, one U.S. intelligence agency was planning an exercise last Sept. 11 in which an errant aircraft would crash into one of its buildings.

Ellen Mariani, who lost her husband Neil on United Air Lines (UAL) Flight 175, filed the first 9-11 wrongful death lawsuit against UAL on Dec. 20, 2001.

PUBLIC OPINION OF 911: -

(From both the 'Mainstream' and 'Alternative' medias)

CNN Poll asks "Do you believe there is a U.S. government cover-up surrounding 9/11?"... 89% out of over 10,000 polled say 'yes'.  (The point being that it is not merely a small minority of 'conspiracy theorists' who are open to the 'idea'.  More people are coming around, despite CNN's disclaimer below the survey).

The poll is the first scientific survey of Americans' belief in a 9/11 cover up or the need to investigate possible U.S. government complicity, and was commissioned to inform deliberations at the June 2~4 "9/11: Revealing the Truth, Reclaiming our Future" conference in Chicago. Poll results indicate 42% believe there has indeed been a cover up (with 10% unsure) and 45% think "Congress or an International Tribunal should re-investigate the attacks, including whether any US government officials consciously allowed or helped facilitate their success" (with 8% unsure). The poll of American residents was conducted from Friday, May 12 through Tuesday, May 16, 2006.
