    Introduction

    This report is not a government document, nor is it written by a think-tank or an

    interest group. This is a citizens report, designed to give the opinion of an ordinaryvoting Canadian citizen to the ear of government, the media, think-tanks, interest groupsor any other organization or person that would care to listen. It is an effort to help thosein power or with influence to understand some important needs and questions Canadiancitizens have and would like answered.

    My name is Andrew Marshall, and I am a 19 year old, voting Canadian citizenliving in Vancouver, Canada. I currently go to school and am studying Political Scienceand Economics. I am writing in the hopes of helping all politicians live up to their claims.See, time and time again, we hear politicians citing common political phrases such asyouth are the greatest natural resource we have. Well now its time to tap into thatresource, and this is what I am offering. I am offering a chance to hear and respond to the

    concerns of a young Canadian citizen whose peer age group represents the future of thiscountry. And it is that exact topic which is the object of this report: the future of thiscountry.

    As current crises occur in the Middle East, Israel recently at war in the Gaza Stripand Lebanon, tensions increasing between Syria, Iran and the United States, not tomention the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, of which the Canadian forces are activeparticipants, I cannot help but show some concern over the future of Canadian foreignpolicy, and for that matter, domestic policy as well.

    With recent arrests in Toronto on the basis of suspected planning of terrorismagainst Canada, it raises an important question being why are we now a terrorist target?Five years ago, before 9/11, Canada did not carry a reputation internationally nor

    domestically as being a nation that represents an ideal target for terrorism, however, nowwe are clearly a target for terrorist attacks. So it raises the issue of how we became atarget since 9/11.

    US President George W. Bush and the rest of his administration would have theworld believe that America is the target of international terrorism because it representsdemocracy at its finest and stands for freedom around the world, and that the terroristshate freedom. Well this proposal of a reason for the US being a target is preposterous inevery sense of the word. In a May, 1998 interview with ABCs John Miller, (Source 1)Osama bin Laden, before being interviewed by Miller, answered a few questions from hisfollowers, one of those questions was What is the meaning of your call for Muslims totake arms against America in particular? Bin Laden responded by saying, The call to

    wage war against America was made because America has spear-headed the crusadeagainst the Islamic nation, sending tens of thousands of its troops to the land of the twoHoly Mosques over and above its meddling in its affairs and its politics, and its supportof the oppressive, corrupt and tyrannical regime that is in control. These are the reasonsbehind the singling out of America as a target. Why then, if Bin Laden openly declareshis reasons for opposing the United States, does George Bush and his administrationcontinue to stress an incorrect point?

    This point is key to understanding the issues I will be discussing. As Canadianforeign policy, and in fact all policy is so greatly influenced by the US, as it is impossibleto be outside the sphere of influence of such a huge and powerful nation, especially sincewe are their closest neighbors. So, by understanding the United States role in the world,is to help understand our current role, and where we may be going.

    Since 9/11, Canada has added its name onto the list of potential terrorist targetsaround the world. Why? Because we have since altered our foreign and domestic policiesto support that of the United States. 9/11 plays a key role in understanding this conflict,since it brought Canada into a US-led coalition war in Afghanistan. Currently, largequestions that raise serious conflicts have been raised and are continuously being raisedby concerned citizens around the world on 9/11 itself. The official 9/11 CommissionReport put out by the American government was a white wash piece of top officialpropaganda. It refused to raise any questions or facts that reflected poorly on theadministration and other top officials during the time of 9/11. It neglected to take on anyissues that raised possible conflicts of interest or any questions that were directed to theadministration and its officials. These facts and questions include the fact that the Bush

    White House has refused to release the report given to him on August 6

    th

    , 2001, entitledBin Laden determined to strike in US. (Source 2) The administration refused to releasethis document to the US Congress, twice. The same government is also destroying all thephysical evidence from the World Trade Center and Pentagon and has refused to releasethe tapes from the black boxes of the planes. There are also questions regarding why thesurveillance cameras from the Pentagon and nearby gas stations and hotels that may havecaught the attack on the Pentagon on film were all confiscated and the only two videosreleased to the public werent able to clearly show a plane and were both from the sameangle, the second just a few feet further back, not displaying anything different of anyimportance. Why isnt the public able to view these videos, especially since everyone hasseen so much footage of the planes hitting the towers? When FBI agents told authoritiesinside the government on and before 9/11 that the US was going to experience terroristattacks within the near future, the World Trade Center being a primary target, why werethey told to be quiet or else they would be arrested? All questions revolving aroundconfusion of the 9/11 tragedy reflect that treason had occurred somewhere in the highranks of the US administration and government. This statement has been confirmed andwill be further discussed later in the report. Since, however, no one has been persecutedfor such acts or been tried as having committed treason or fired or demoted for massiveincompetence, then the forces that have hidden the truth and that either committedtreason or were massively incompetent are still running policy in the administration andgovernment. This is a massive concern to Canadian citizens, especially now that we havea US-friendly Conservative Government. We must go back and question our role andpolicies with our neighbor to the South. We cannot support a treasonous government, norshould we hand huge foreign and domestic policies over to an enormously incompetentgovernment.

    I will address key concerns regarding 9/11, however I have no answers to provide.This is because this is in part a proposal to push for the Canadian government and allothers to do what they can to try to find answers. I am not stating that I know exactlywhat happened on 9/11, what I am stating is that I know facts that prove things that arecontrary to what the world was told about 9/11 and that those that told us these things, are

  • 7/29/2019 9-11 and the North American Military-Industrial Complex

    5/98

    the very ones that know the most about that event, and incidentally refuse to release anyinformation regarding that event. This is a reason for mistrust in ones government.Thusly, it is a reason for concern over our countrys relations with an untrustworthygovernment.

    From discussing 9/11 and the controversy behind it, I will take aim at discussing

    the immediate results of 9/11, such as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, both of whichhave Canadian involvement. Here, I will discuss possible conflicts of interest regardingthese two wars in the Middle East that many in power, who were making decisions havealso profited from going to war. These same institutions in the US that pushed for andprofited from war are also pushing for similar things inside Canada. The key issue here isdrawn out of reflection upon US President Eisenhowers farewell address as he left officeand warned the US, and as such, the world, about the military-industrial complex and thedanger it poses to all of society around the world. Eisenhower was referring to theintegration of profit in war. When multinational corporations such as the military and oilcorporations are able to profit to set record highs in human history from war, and thosethat make the decisions to go to war are so well connected to these same corporations,

    there is a conflict of interest that can become ingrained in the political system whichultimately creates a system of war in which the solution to every societal problem is war,and thereby is increased military spending, thusly increased corporate profit. War is themost profitable industry in the world, and since those that profit form war are the mostinfluential organizations in the world, and since they are legally designed to only attemptto achieve maximum profit, it is in their best interest as declared by law to pursue asustainable profit environment, which is only defined as continuous, non-stop war. I willexamine the role the military-industrial complex has played in the US, as well as theadditions into the complex relationship, including think tanks, interest groups andintelligence organizations. Furthermore, I will then discuss the slow but steady creationand formation of a secure Canadian military industrial complex. I will discuss thoseinstitutions and organizations, which are pushing for such a thing in Canada to become asinfluential in Canada as its American counterpart is in the US.

    We must re-examine the reasons for our new policies and relations, and thuslydefine our role in the world. I will lastly examine the eventual annexation of Canada bythe US, which is in plans and has been already under way by organizations and influentialpeople on both sides of the border. I will identify why these organizations are pushing forwhat they call deep integration with the United States, but what every rational, ordinaryCanadian citizen would call the rape of our constitution, disintegration of our freedomand democracy and loss of our Canadian identity and state. We do not want to becomeAmericans, and I will put forth an argument for such a case as to back out from anyfurther deep integration to create a North American State, which is previouslydiscussed in the aims of the military-industrial complex on both sides of the border.

    In conclusion I will examine how all these important events and issues relate toone another so inexplicably and undeniably that it is a vast and immediate danger to ournation, our security, our sovereignty, our identity and most of all, our future. As a currentstudent and young Canadian, I represent the future of this country, and my greatestconcern, is that that future disappears before I get there.

    This is a citizens report, and in effect, a citizens desperate plea, that all who readthis try to help me realize a future in which I may look forward to as a Canadian, a future

  • 7/29/2019 9-11 and the North American Military-Industrial Complex

    6/98

    that isnt bleak or terrifying, a future that has hope for all Canadians and can stand as anexample to the rest of the world for what a developed country should really be.The 9/11 Question

    In my research on the military-industrial complex, I could not help but

    continuously come upon interesting facts and evidence that brought the very question ofthe truth behind 9/11 into view. I at first, for the previous 5 years since September 11,2001, was incredibly skeptical of any conspiracy theories, since I knew that an event thismassive and significant would draw all kinds of attention from all kinds of areas, mostespecially, I thought, from conspiracy theorists. I assumed that all theories would bespeculation and have little or no substantial proof. However, when finally I put down mydefenses and allowed myself to listen to, watch and read about questions that came aboutas a result of the 9/11 attacks. After heading into unfamiliar territory, I became veryconflicted, because as I read and researched more, I could not help but now see that thereare some significant problems arising out of this issue based on the honesty ofgovernment. Namely, that the official story of what happened on that day, is simply not

    possible by scientific standards. What happened that day is shrouded in great secrecy andconfusion. What happened that day is something that has defined the world since itsoccurrence, therefore we must know the truth. What really happened that day?

    Before casting my report away as damaging speculation, give it a chance andcontinue to read the following questions that are raised from the events on that day, andremain unanswered still. I am not offering a conspiracy theory here, what I am offering isevidence of conspiracy having occurred.

    Important Questions And Concerns:

    * After the events of 9/11, important figures from the highest levels of government,

    including the FBI, CIA, Pentagon and the Bush Administration itself all declared thatnever before had anyone imagined that people would use planes as weapons in an effortto attack the United States. This is simply not true (Source 1.a). Not only were all theseagencies and groups informed about such plans possibly taking shape, but many of themhave been involved in shaping such military plans in the past.* Operation Northwoods (Source 1.b) was a plan made by officials inside thePentagon during the Presidential tenure of JFK in which it outlined the plan for a pretextto take America to war with Cuba by hijacking US commercial jets and flying them intotargets in New York and Washington and framing Cuban terrorists as the offenders inorder to get the public support for war. However, Robert MacNamara, the Secretary ofDefense, and Kennedy threw out the proposal on the basis that it was extremely wrong

    and unconstitutional, not to mention, criminal.* The Project for the New American Century (PNAC), a very predominant thinktank in the US, headed by such figures as Dick Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz, L. Lewis Libby,Jeb Bush and other prominent political players (Source 18) wrote a report calledRebuilding Americas Defenses in September 2000, in which they proposed America tobe formed into the unchallenged world empire by increasing military spendingenormously, as well as invading Iraq to secure oil for America and to help the interests ofAmericas ally, Israel in the region. The report, however, further stipulated that the

  • 7/29/2019 9-11 and the North American Military-Industrial Complex

    7/98

    American public would not simply accept this as a reason to go to war, unless there wassome catalyzing and catastrophic event - like a new Pearl Harbor. Roughly the sameamount of people died on September 11, 2001, that died at Pearl Harbor. (Source 19)* Before 9/11, no steel building anywhere in the world had ever collapsed as aresult of fire, but why, then, on 9/11, did three buildings fall, supposedly due to fire

    damage? These buildings were the two towers and World Trade Center 7, a 47-story steelbuilding located at the World Trade Center complex. (Source 3.a)* Why did building 7 collapse if it wasnt hit by a plane and had no jet fuel in it thatsupposedly stood as the main cause for the collapse of the two towers? (Source 2.a)* George W. Bushs younger brother, Marvin Bush, was head of security for theentire World Trade Center complex on the day of 9/11 (Source 3.b). Why then, afterrecent bomb threats to the building, were all the bomb-sniffing dogs removed from theWorld Trade Center the Thursday before 9/11? (Source 5)* Larry Silverstein, the owner of the entire World Trade Center complex had justseven weeks before 9/11, purchased a record insurance policy on the complex, whichreportedly made him $3.5 billion dollars. Why did Larry Silverstein say, on a PBS

    documentary, America Rebuilds, that he and the firemen decided to pull building 7?Pulling a building is an industry term used to describe imploding a building with the useof explosives? (Source 2.c)* Why does the official FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) reporton the collapse of the World Trade Center state that the collapse is unknown? (Source2.b)* Why did the 9/11 Commission take an exceedingly long time in order to beformed at the constant opposition of the Bush administration? And when it was finallyformed, why did George Bush personally appoint the members? (Source 3.c)* After initially appointing Henry Kissinger to head the commission, there was apublic outcry against the proposal due to Kissingers many conflicts of interest. AfterKissinger stepped down, Thomas H. Kean took his place. (Source 2.d)* Why were conflicts of interest not considered important in appointing theCommission, since the Commission chair had affiliations with several corporations,including Amerada Hess Oil, a prominent oil company that also happened to profitimmensely from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq? (Source 2.e)* Why was the Executive Director, Phillip Zelikow, who personally wrote over90% of the report, a member from within the Bush Administration itself and had co-authored a book with Condoleeza Rice? (Source 2.f)* Why did FEMA, who was in charge of handling the damage control at the WorldTrade Center site, arrive in New York on the evening of September 10, 2001 in order toconduct emergency exercises regarding terrorist attacks on New York City? (Source 2.h)* Why did FEMA remove all of the building debris, and therefore evidence fromthe site only in order not to investigate and study it, but rather destroy, melt and sell it offto foreign countries like China? (Source 2.b)* Why, on the morning of September 11, 2001, were there 5 different Pentagon andCIA exercises going on which simulated planes being hijacked and flown into the WorldTrade Center and Pentagon? Who was controlling these exercises that led to theconfusion and slow reaction of NORAD on the day of 9/11? (Source 2.g)

    * Why were no jets scrambled in time to shoot down the planes before hitting theirtargets when there were reportedly 67 previous cases in the year of 2001 when planes,after having gone off course only a small degree and for a short amount of time have USjets flying beside them within 15 minutes? (Source 2.i)* Why were these planes able to fly around, make complete 180 degree changes in

    direction and fly around for up to an hour and forty-five minutes?* Who told NORAD to stand down and not scramble jets to interpret the hijackedplanes, as is proper procedure?* If the events of 9/11 were, as they state in the 9/11 Commission Report, a result offailed intelligence and lack of foreknowledge, why did no one get fired? And why wereso many instead promoted, some receiving medals of honour?* If we, the public are supposed to believe that the towers fell as a result of jet-fuelfires inside the towers, then we must look at science to prove or disprove this fact. Tomelt steel, fires need to be in excess of 2700-3000 degrees Fahrenheit and be burning atthat temperature for several hours. Thermal photographs (Source 20) taken of the WorldTrade Center indicate that the hottest spots in both towers did not exceed 1700 degrees F.

    How is it possible that burning fuel at a temperature significantly lower than the requiredtemperature to melt steel somehow managed to defy science and reason and melt steel notonly in one building and not only in two, but in three buildings that day, one of whichwasnt even hit by a plane?* Why, after jets finally were scrambled to attend to the imminent threat, were theyscrambled not from Andrews Air Force base, just outside of Washington D.C, or anyother base that was closest to the targets and planes themselves, but rather from an airforce base farther away from the events? (Source 2.j)* Another key question about Bushs presence at the elementary school was thatafter the first plane hit the first tower, it was known that the plane had apparently beenhijacked, which would have immediately been a national security issue, yet Bush hasbeen reported to have said that he will just continue with the whole reading thing. Whywould the Commander in Chief, the President, knowing fully about a multiple hijackingin progress, and according to his own testimony, knew about the first tower being hit,continue to go through with a photo-op in an elementary school instead of acting like theleader. (Source 3.d)* Also, with the second tower being hit, and the knowledge about hijackings havingtaken place, the United States President was able to sit in a classroom for nearly 20minutes without being immediately ushered out of the building and area by the SecretService, which is exactly the kind of situation that the Secret Service is trained to handle.Why would he have sat around, on national television, in a classroom, putting a class fullof small children at risk? Why would they not have rushed the president out of thereunless they knew he wasnt a target? (Source 3.d)* Why did George W. Bush twice say that he saw the first plane hit the first toweron television before entering the classroom that day, when in fact there was no footage othe first plane hitting the first tower, except that which was filmed by two French brothersmaking a documentary on New York firemen and was not seen by the public or ontelevision until the day after the event? How is it possible that Bush saw what didntexist? (Source 3.d)

  • 7/29/2019 9-11 and the North American Military-Industrial Complex

    9/98

    * The principal of the elementary school where Bush was, confirmed that Bush didnot see any television before entering the classroom while he was inside the school,which is where Bush previously declared he had seen the footage, because the principalsaid that there was no TV on anywhere before Bush entered the class. (Source 3.d)* Why was George H. W. Bush in a meeting with the Carlyle Group in Manhattan

    on the morning of September 11, 2001, with a member of the Bin Laden family? (Source2.k)* Why, after grounding all flights in the country, were special flights charteringmembers of the Bin Laden family and other Saudi families used to take them out ofAmerica, without being questioned at all, and safely to Saudi Arabia? (Source 2.l)* Why did George W. Bush, after taking office, demand that all FBI investigationsinto Bin Laden and Saudi Arabia be halted indefinitely? (Source 3.e)* Why was Dick Cheney in charge of America while in a deep underground bunkeron 9/11? Why, as Norman Mineta (Secretary of Transportation) who was in the bunker ata certain point, reported to the 9/11 Commission that a lower-ranking official in thebunker said to Cheney that the plane was 50 miles out, 30 miles out and when he got to

    saying 10 miles out he asked of Cheney, Do the orders still stand?, to which DickCheney responded, Of course the orders still stand, did you hear otherwise?! Whatwere the orders? Why, after the brief confrontation, was the Pentagon supposedly hit by aplane? (Source 3.f)* Why was no plane wreckage found at the site of the Pentagon, apart from smallplane pieces belonging to a much smaller military plane possibly made by RaytheonCorporation? (Source 2.m)* Why was the lawn in front of the Pentagon free from damage, which is commonfor any crash landing of a commercial airliner? (Source 2.m)* Why is the hole in the Pentagon significantly smaller than the diameter of acommercial jetliner? The initial hole in the Pentagon was 16 feet in diameter, which isvery difficult for a 124 foot-wide wingspan to fit into. How is this possible? (Source 2.m)* Why was there no damage to the building where the wings of the plane wouldhave come into contact with the building? (Source 2.m)* Why were the higher floors of the Pentagon above the point of impact in tact,when a commercial jetliners height alone, and especially tail would have clearly cut apath through the upper floors? (Source 2.m)* Why did the FBI show up within minutes of the explosion at a nearby hotel andgas station that had cameras facing the Pentagon and immediately confiscate the footageand told all spectators to not talk about what they saw on the tapes in the name of nationalsecurity? Why have we not seen what was on these tapes? (Source 2.m)* Why was the part of the Pentagon that was attacked also the part that was underconstruction, newly built and had the fewest amount of people inside when apparently thehijackers had so well researched their targets and destinations? Why was the more seniorofficial area, where Donald Rumsfeld was located, on the opposite side of the building?Why did the plane risk a near-impossible maneuver to hit that section instead of crashingonto it from above, which would have caused worse damage and greater loss of life,which was what we have been told was the ultimate goal of the terrorists? (Source 2.m)

  • 7/29/2019 9-11 and the North American Military-Industrial Complex

    10/98

    * Why is it that the only footage revealed from the Pentagon crash doesnt clearlyshow a plane, but rather a much smaller object entering the screen from the right andcausing the large explosion? (Source 2.m)* Why is it that since the Pentagon, which is one of the most heavily secure andsurveillance-ridden buildings in the world, only see it fit to release footage that does not

    clearly show a plane hitting the building? Why did the defense systems not shoot downthe supposed planes? (Source 2.m)* We, the public were all constantly told that there were several cell phone callsbeing made from the hijacked planes that day to loved ones and others on the ground.When a Professor in Ontario conducted an experiment in which he brought on severaldifferent phones from several different companies onto a plane that traveled at the heightand speed of those planes on that day, he found that it was not possible to make a callfrom any cell phone. How is it possible that these cell phone calls were made when it isproven that they simply could not have happened? (Source 7)* Why were the cell phone conversations so peculiar? For example, the mostfamous phone call was from passenger on Flight 93 over Pennsylvania, in which he

    called his mother and stated, Hi, mom, its Mark Bingham, your son. I dont knowabout anyone else, but when I call my mother, I dont say, Hi, mom, its AndrewMarshall, your son. He then continued describing that there were hijackers on his planeand then continuously asked, You believe me, dont you? You believe me, right?(Source 10)* It has been proven that voices can be reconstructed from a sample voice recordingof a subject. (Source 7)* Why did spectators in the town of Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where the planewent down, say that they saw the plane pass overhead, catching their attention since itwas flying so low, and say that they saw an explosion on board the plane and then a USjet, and in some cases two US jets fly overhead? (Source 8)* Why did the mayor of Shanksville repeatedly state that when he arrived at thecrash site, there was no plane there? All plane crashes leave wreckage; this is irrefutable.Wreckage is recovered from plane crashes at sea, yet a crash in a rural field leavesnothing? How is this at all possible? (Source 9)* Why was no plane wreckage and no burning jet fuel found at the crash site, whichjust showed a very large hole in the ground? (Source 3.g)* The official explanation of what happened at this crash site is that upon impact,the plane and jet fuel vaporized. There was no burning jet fuel at the sit, only a large,smoking hole. How is this possible? Has there ever been a precedent of such an eventoccurring? (Source 3.g)* Why is it that there was plane wreckage from a commercial plane found 8 milesbehind the crash site, when the official explanation states that the plane was not shotdown, but was brought down by the passengers? Is it possible for upon impact with theground, plane wreckage to be rebounded off the ground, instead of being vaporized, andbounce backwards, as opposed to the direction of velocity pushing forwards, and at that,8 miles backwards? (Source 3.g)* The official story of the crash states that an engine from the plane bounced off theground upon impact and forward into a forest. Why is it that the only people who wereever able to see the engine and investigate that wreckage were FBI agents? (Source 3.g)

  • 7/29/2019 9-11 and the North American Military-Industrial Complex

    11/98

    * Why does a military official, Lt. Col. Don De Grand-Pre state that the plane wasshot down and that he knows one of the pilots that shot it down that day? (Source 6)* Why is it that this same official stated that the Pentagon was not hit by acommercial airliner but rather a US missile? (Source 6)* BYU Physics professor Steven E. Jones wrote a report on the fact that through

    simple physics, he proved that the two towers and building 7 did not fall as a result of thestory most known to us all. Yes, the two towers were hit by planes, everyone saw that,but that isnt how they fell. Steven Jones stated that since each tower fell in less than 10seconds, that they fell in free fall speed. Meaning that if you were to drop a grand pianooff of the top of one of the towers at the same time the tower began to collapse, both thetower and the piano would hit the ground at the same time. This disproves the widelybelieved Pancake theory of how the towers fell which proposes that the weight fromthe burning floors and collapsing upper part of the towers applied so much pressure ontothe lower floors that they simply pan-caked down. For this to be possible, there wouldneed to be a brief pause at each floor, since each floor the tower crashes through wouldpose resistance to the rate of the falling towers. If this occurred, then it is not possible that

    the towers fell in under ten seconds; it is simply scientifically impossible. Why is this thestory we were told? Why are we told to believe that which is scientifically impossible?(Source 11)* Why did building 7 fall in the same fashion of free fall, even though it was onlyon fire for a few hours and wasnt structurally damaged by the debris of the towers, norhit by a plane? Why does the middle of the building fall first, as you can clearly see inany footage of the building collapsing, which is common to demolished buildings?(Source 11)* Why, on the confession video of Bin Laden, does Bin Laden appear to look verydifferent than he does in all of his other videos? His nose is a different size than in anyfuture video. How did his face change shape, if we are expected to believe this tape? Howwould he be able to get plastic surgery in a cave in Afghanistan? Why is he wearing agold watch and ring, which is forbidden by Islamic religion? Is it possible that a mandetermined to carry out a holy Islamic war against America forget that his religionforbids such jewelry? (Source 12)* Why, in the confession video, is Osama bin Laden writing something down withhis right hand, (Source 12) when it clearly states on the FBIs most wanted list, regardingBin Laden, that he is left handed? (Source 13)* On the FBIs most wanted list, under Bin Laden is says that he is wanted inconnection with the bombings of the US embassies in Tanzania and Kenya and continuesby saying that In addition, Bin Laden is a suspect in other terrorist attacks throughoutthe world, yet it makes no mention of the events of 9/11. At the bottom of the page itclearly states Poster Revised November 2001. When a reporter saw this anomaly, hedecided to call up the FBI and ask about it. The FBI spokesperson that he spoke withstated that it doesnt mention 9/11 because The FBI has no hard evidence to prove thatOsama bin Laden had anything to do with the events of September 11, 2001. He went onto explain that it is the job of the FBI to collect evidence regarding such events andforward it to a court in order for bin Laden to be properly indicted, as he was for thecrimes in Tanzania and Kenya. Why does the FBI not consider the confession video

  • 7/29/2019 9-11 and the North American Military-Industrial Complex

    12/98

    hard evidence? Why does the FBI not have any evidence connecting Bin Laden to 9/11?(Source 14)* The Bush administration reported shortly after 9/11 that they had hard evidencethat proved it was Osama bin Laden responsible for the attacks on 9/11 and that theywould release that evidence when appropriate. Why has the public not seen that

    evidence? Why has the FBI not seen this? Why have Congress not seen this? Why has noone been able to see this evidence that is the basis for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq?* Why, directly after the attacks were reports coming out of Osama bin Laden beingbehind the attacks if there was indeed, no prior knowledge to the events in the USgovernment? (Source 2.n)* Why were photos and names released of all the apparent hijackers the followingdays after 9/11 if there was no prior knowledge of the events of that day? Why was somuch known about the suspected hijackers directly after 9/11, yet nothing was donebefore that day to prevent it? (Source 2.n)* Why did some the flight instructors who taught and flew with the supposedhijackers state that they were terrible pilots and incapable of generic flying skills?

    * Why do maintenance workers who were under the buildings in the basement andparking garages underneath report being thrown down into the ground from an explosionfrom within the garage? (Source 17)* Mike Pecoraro, an operating engineer who was in the 6th level subbasement ofWorld Trade Center North Tower when the first plane hit. Mikes co-worker noticed that

    the lights flickered. After contacting a superior, they were told that the whole buildingshook and there was a report of an explosion. They were, however told by their superiors,to remain where they were until further notice. Then, they reported that the room theywere in, in the basement started to fill with a white smoke. He said it smelled like it couldhave been a car-fire in the underground garage a few floors above them. They decided tohead up to the C-level above them to the machine shop where two fellow co-workerswere supposed to be working. However, when they got there, to their amazement, themachine shop had vanished. There was nothing except debris and rubble. Mike wasquoted as saying, Were talking about a 50 ton hydraulic press gone! They called fortheir co-workers but got no response. The smoke was very thick in this room and so theydecided to venture further up into the parking garage. When they got to the parking

    garage it was also destroyed and gone, leaving debris on the ground and the air thick withsmoke. They traveled up further hoping to get to the lobby, however when passinganother basement level, to their astonishment, they came across a 300 pound steel andconcrete door that was ripped off its foundations and crumpled up like aluminum foil. Bythis point the only building that was hit was the tower they were in, which meant that theother tower had not yet fallen, and so could not have caused any such damage to thebasement levels. Pecararo, who was present in the buildings during the 93 attack recalledsimilar instances back then and was convinced that bombs had gone off inside thebasement levels of the trade towers. The plane crash was nearly 100 floors above themand so could not have caused explosions in the basement. How is this possible? Why wasthe testimony to the 9/11 Commission given by the firefighters, policemen and otherworkers inside the Trade Center towers who reported hearing many explosionsthroughout both towers completely left out of the final report and not even mentioned atall? (Source 17)* Why is it that steel doors were destroyed and ripped from their hinges andcontorted on the lower levels of the building, so far below from the initial explosion ofthe planes impact? How can an explosion nearly 100 floors above make a steel doorappear like a crumpled up piece of aluminum? (Source 17)* The lobby of the tower, by the time they reached it, was also blown up, with thewindows exploded outwards and a fine layer of white dust covering the area andeveryone in it, which is very typical of the scene after a high explosive device sets off.People in the lobby also recall an explosion and some were even injured. Video footageof the lobby after the explosion confirms the thin layer of dust and wreckage resultingfrom what was later explained as jet fuel that fell down the elevator shaft to the lobbycausing the explosive damage. However, there was no burning jet fuel anywhere in thelobby, nor any reports of such a thing. So how is this possible? Why was this notmentioned in the Commissions report? (Source 17)* Why have several of the supposed 19 hijackers turned up alive and well in SaudiArabia and around the Middle East and been giving interviews with the BBC and othernews agencies stating that they are simply pilots for Saudi Airlines and some have stated

    they have never even been to New York or the US? How is it possible that these peopleare alive and well after blowing themselves up in commercial airplanes? How is itpossible that they never were in the US if all the hijacked planes took off from inside theUS? (Source 21)* Why do the passenger lists released by United Airlines and American Airlines,

    the two airlines that were hijacked that day, clearly show that there are no Arab names onthe lists? How did these apparent hijackers board the planes without names oridentification? Since there are also no fake names on the lists or fake identities being usedby the supposed hijackers, then that would mean that 19 foreign men from the MiddleEast were able to board 4 separate commercial planes in the US with no identification atall. How is this possible? Since one of the suspects passports was found by the FBI inthe streets of New York on 9/11, why would he have carried his real passport when hisreal name, nor any fake name, was on the list of passengers? (Source 2.n)* A construction manager for the World Trade Center stated that the buildings weredesigned to retain multiple impacts from the largest jetliners. How is it possible that itwas jets that thusly brought them down? (Source 22)

    * Before the towers collapsed, in some footage you can clearly see a golden moltenmetal pouring out the side of one of the towers near the crash site moments before thecollapse. The official reasoning of this was that it was melted aluminum. Yet, if this weretrue, the molten metal would be silver, like aluminum, instead of golden, which it clearlywas. How is this possible? What was the molten material since it could not have beenaluminum? Why are they lying about what it was? (Source 65)* Professor Steven E. Jones stated that in spite of most of all the evidence of thetowers being systematically destroyed and sold, he was able to get his hands on somefrom a few World Trade Center memorial sites throughout the country that have pieces ofsteel from the towers. He was given a sample from the steel and discovered andinteresting substance on the steel towers. He discovered traces of thermite, a highlyexplosive compound found in C4 explosives. However, he also found traces of sulphurmixed in with the thermite. This mixture, he states, creates a third compound, calledThermate. When sulphur is mixed with thermite, the result is that the compound knownas thermate becomes so hot that it has the ability (and this is the purpose of thisexplosive) to cut through steel like a hot knife through butter. It is possible that this iswhat was pouring out of the side of the tower moments before it collapsed? Thermatecreates a molten gold-coloured liquid when it is ignited as a result of the steel beingmelted. Could this have been the molten substance pouring out the side of the buildingmoments before it collapsed? (Source 11)* Why was there extremely hot molten steel found underneath the rubble of theTrade Center towers that was burning for up to weeks? This is not scientifically possiblefrom the temperatures of the jet fuel to cause such a reaction. However, it is documentedthat the compound of thermate has the ability to result in continuously hot and burningsteel for long periods of time, in fact, melting the steel. Why was this substance foundunder building 7 as well as the two towers, since building 7 was not hit by a plane andtherefore had no burning jet fuel inside of it? (Source 11)* The black box recording released from Flight 93 presents the pilots of the flighttalking until the apparent hijackers enter the cockpit. A struggle is heard, and theneventually the hijackers have control. You hear them discussing when to take down the

    plane. Then, you hear the passengers from the flight on the other side of the cockpit doordiscussing what to do, and finally deciding they have to get into the cockpit. How is itpossible that this recording was able to hear through the cockpit door onto the other sidewhere the passengers were clearly enough to comprehend what they were saying?(Source 25)

    * Mohommad Atta was the alleged ringleader of the hijackers that supposedly flewthe first plane, American Airline Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World TradeCenter. However, it was reported that Atta was known to be able to drink his fair share ofvodka. He was also reported to be gambling and frequenting strip clubs, which isforbidden by Islamic law. However, if one is willing to kill oneself and many thousandsof innocent lives in the name of ones religion in an act of Holy war, or Jihad, thenwouldnt that person abide by the simple, basic rules put forward by the religion that theyare willing to kill for? In this case, why would Atta be known to like vodka, when inIslamic law as determined by the Koran, it is a sin to even touch alcohol?

    th, 2001, World Trade Center Tower 2, the second one hit

    and first one to fall, had a massive power outage of more than 60% of the upper half ofthe tower. During this time, hired workers and maintenance personnel would have beenworking in the tower without being under video surveillance. It was reported that theywere hired by an undisclosed corporation to conduct unknown objectives during theblackout. This was a massive power outage that sat as unprecedented in the history of theWorld Trade Center. The only time in the past where power outages with close to thesame size took place was in 1993, before the first attack on the World Trade Center.(Source 62)* The day before 9/11, on the Chicago stock exchange, the largest trading activitiestook place on the stocks of United Airlines and American Airlines, the two commercialairplane companies that were involved in the attacks. These activities consisted of somepeople buying massive amounts of put options on the two airlines, which means thatthose who bought the put options would be gambling on the basis that the stocks of thosetwo companies would be plummeting in the short-term future. After the attacks, and thestocks did indeed plummet, this led to a multi-million dollar profit for those that boughtthe options, yet they to this day remain anonymous and the money remains unclaimed inChicago. Who bought these put options? How did they gain insider knowledge of whatwas said to be a massive failure of intelligence? (Source 24)* Dr. Morgan Reynolds, who served as a member of George W. Bushs first termcabinet in the labour department as the Chief Economist, has publicly come out after nolonger being a part of the administration (which he quit soon after 9/11), and said that9/11 was indeed orchestrated by George Bushs government and small sectors of theupper echelons of the US government. (Source 28)* A construction worker named Phillip Morelli, was working in the fourth sub-basement of the North Tower when it was struck by the plane. He describes being thrownonto the ground by two separate explosions in the basement level. The first one occurredat the moment of the planes impact and the second shortly after. The second one, he

  • 7/29/2019 9-11 and the North American Military-Industrial Complex

    said, also blew out walls in the basement level. He fled to the sub-basement of tower twoand was under there when it was struck by the plane, resulting in similar explosions in thebasement level. How is this possible, given that the plane struck the tower nearly 100floors above? (Source 17)* There was a letter written by Kevin Ryan of Underwriters Laboratories to one

    Frank Gayle who worked for the national Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).Underwriters Laboratories is the company that had previously certified all the steel thatwas used to build the Trade Center Towers and all the other World Trade Center complexbuildings. He stated that all the steel that his company examined passed all requirementsnecessary. He further stated that Underwriters Laboratories had conducted tests, whichattempted to explain how jet-fuel fires collapsed the buildings and they concluded that allthe buildings should have easily been able to withstand the heat caused by pools of jet-fuel on fire. He explains how many apparent experts, such as Dr. Hyman Brown reportedthat the towers collapsed due to the burning jet fuel at a temperature of 2000 degreesFahrenheit. However, Ryan explains, the steel in the towers met the specifications towithstand such a fire, as he explained how even un-fireproofed steel would take hours at

    temperatures of and above 3000 degrees Fahrenheit in order to make the steel hot enoughto bend. The steel in question, however, was fireproofed. Ryan further examines that theofficial explanation of the collapse was that the outer perimeter of the towers buckledafter being softened by the fire. However, even according to Frank Gayles previousstudies, the outer perimeter of the towers never saw temperatures greater than 500degrees Fahrenheit, roughly 2500 below the temperature needed to melt weaker steel thanthat which was in the towers. According to the official account, not only did these lowtemperatures manage to soften this certified steel, but it resulted in the collapse of notonly the upper floors but the entire buildings literally crumbling to dust. How could thishappen? Why were these temperature statistics not discussed in the Commissions report?(Source 29)* Why did the 9/11 Commission begin their investigation with the conclusion, thatthe events of 9/11 were orchestrated by 19 Muslim hijackers who outwitted the USgovernment, and simply wrote the report filling in the blanks that made sense for theirconclusion, leaving out all information that raised questions about the official story andpointed blame towards government officials? Could it be that the Commission wasappointed by George W. Bush, and that the Executive Director of the Commission was inthe Bush administration and was very close with Condoleeza Rice? (Source 66)* A report by NBC on the day of 9/11, in comments with FDNY Chief of Safety,who was one of the first people on the scene, roughly 10 or 15 minutes after the firstcrash, stated that there were secondary devices, or other explosions that took place,several minutes and even over an hour after the initial crashes. He stated that hesuspected that there were explosive devices planted throughout the towers.

    agent who trained the apparent terrorists and supplied them with the explosives. Why hasthe FBIs involvement in the first World Trade Center attacks been ignored? (Source 32)* A large conference held in Portugal in 2003, organized by former top Pentagonarms salesman Lt. Col. Don De Grand-Pre and consisting of many different commercialand military pilots with the conference lasting a successive 72 hours in intensive study of

    the events of 9/11. They unanimously concluded that the flight crews of the fourcommercial planes involved in the 9/11 attacks did not have control over their planes.(Source 6)* He also asserts that there were no hijackers on the planes that day, and said thatthere were also no cell phone calls made form on the planes, as that is an impossibility.He further stated that everyone on board the planes was most likely knocked unconsciousfrom between 8 to 18 minutes from takeoff, possibly from gas emissions within theaircraft, killing or knocking them unconscious immediately, allowing for the planesremote control to take over and pursue their selected targets without interference from theflight crew or passengers. (Source 6)* He states as another possibility that though the planes were piloted by remote

    control, the planes that everyone saw fly into the towers were not the commercial jets inquestion, but rather unmanned military drones, military planes that fly by remote controlthat were painted over to appear more like a commercial flight. To back this up, therewere reports that there were no windows on the plane that hit the second tower, whichwould contradict the point that it was a commercial plane. He continued and said that thereal planes were most likely at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. He further stated thatthese accusations are based on knowledgeable speculation, meaning that it is the opinionof the large group of pilots at the meeting that these are the most likely theories of whattook place based upon what they studied to be impossible to have taken place. There wasalso a large 3-dimensional object underneath the plane that hit the second tower, which isnot on Boeing 757s, but is located on military planes. (Source 6)* He further declares that this is what is called an Administrative Coup Detat. Acoup detat usually is military, taking the form of a renegade General or military officialthat destroys, kills or eliminates in some way replacing the commanding infrastructure ofsociety ie) the political, financial and military heads/commands (Source 6)

    - by this explanation, if we examine what took place on 9/11, the attack upon theWorld Trade Center, the financial symbol of America, as well as the Pentagon, themilitary command and the final plane was said to be either heading for the US Capitol orthe white House, which represents the political commands and heads of the US. That is,in essence, a coup detat, now the question is, who was the renegade commanding thecoup? Was it a radical Muslim in a cave in Afghanistan or the Administrative heads ofthe Executive branch (President, Vice President, other White House officials) as well asadministrative heads of the military sector (Secretary of Defense, Deputy Secretary ofDefense, as well as some top military officials) and heads of the intelligence community(Director of CIA, FBI and NSA, among others)?* De Grand-Pre has also discussed the point that at least 70% of the military andPentagon is made up of honest officials who believe in protecting America, and not thePresident and believe in Democracy. He stated the possibility that there might at somepoint be an attempted counter-coup, meaning that the honest military officials mayorchestrate a coup detat in an attempt to reclaim the nation from the renegade

    administrative officials before they can take the US into any more wars or into a state ofmartial law and totalitarianism (Source 6)* He insisted that the military personnel are tired of having to sit and take ordersfrom corporate controlled politicians, and he said, I think those days are coming to anend. The military aint gonna take it any longer. (Source 6)

    * he said that if the military is successful in taking back America for the people andnot the corporate and political elite, then military tribunals will try US public officialsand then he said that when that happens, Cheney, I reiterate, is toast. He named Cheneyto be the one man who most likely has the most knowledge about the real events of 9/11.(Source 6)* he outlined that the 9/11 attacks were meant to be a psychological attack (orPsyop Psychological Operation) on the American people that would trigger them into apatriotic state in which they would blindly follow the government and that the ultimategoal was to create a global government by eliminating national sovereignty across theglobe, be it through invasions or annexation (Source 6)* he further concluded that to do this, we would need to be taken into another

    World War and said that in order for drastic steps to be taken in this direction, martiallaw will have to be declared in the US (Source 6)* after a short time in air, the supposed jet that hit the Pentagon had disappearedfrom surveillance, meaning that the transponder inside the plane was turned off thisaction always (until the morning of 9/11) resulted in US military aircraft being scrambledup to accompany the jet to a nearby landing base. Also, very few commercial pilotsthemselves know how to turn off a transponder since it is designed to be extremelydifficult to deactivate. How would incompetent pilots such as the supposed hijackers whowere said to have been unable to fly small Cessna aircraft manage to turn off the planestransponder? (Source 3.h)* the 757 and 767 planes made by Boeing are the only Boeing planes that have theability to be flown by remote control, and it was Boeing 757s and Boeing 767s that wereused in the attack on 9/11. Based on this fact, it is not an impossibility that this is how theplanes could have been used as weapons, in fact, when examining all the availableevidence, it is much more plausible than the official explanation. (Source 2.p)* other important questions about 9/11 surround President Bushs behaviour thatday, as he was in a Booker T. elementary school classroom for much of the attack. It isconfirmed by Bush himself that he knew about the first tower being hit by the first planebefore going into the classroom, where he proceeded with a photo-op as children in theclass read a book called My Pet Goat. Bush, when asked after 9/11 by a little girl wherehe was when he heard about the events of 9/11, stated that when he got to the school, theTV was on and before going into the class he saw the first plane hit the first tower on TV.Yet, if we analyze this response in accordance with actual facts and reality, we candetermine that Bush did NOT see the first plane hit the first tower, at least not ontelevision, as no one saw the first plane hit the first tower until the only footage of it cameout the next day, which was filmed by the Naudet brothers who were making adocumentary about New York City firemen on the day of 9/11 and managed to catch thefirst tower being hit. Bush repeated this incident in another public event later on, in whichhe again said he saw the first plane hit the first tower. Now, a counter argument for thiscould be that perhaps Bush had a slip-of-the tongue, or was confused and had meant to

  • 7/29/2019 9-11 and the North American Military-Industrial Complex

    19/98

    say that he saw the second plane hit the second tower, yet, from official public statementsagain made by Bush this can easily be disproved, because when watching the footage ofBush in the classroom at one point we see Andrew Card, Bushs then Chief of Staff, leanin to Bush and whisper something in his ear, what Bush later said was A second planehit the second tower, America is under attack. This means that the apparent first plane

    Bush saw could not have been the second plane hitting the second tower because hedidnt know about that until it was told to him in front of local media who caught themoment on tape. So, an important question here is, how did Bush see the first tower gethit? If it wasnt possible, then why is he lying? (Source 3.d)* Many FBI agents who were involved in tracking and investigating terrorism andnamely, Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, have publicly stated that when Bush becamePresident, they were told to either back off investigating the Bin Laden family or theirinvestigations were somehow deterred or frustrated (Source 3.i)* Many FBI whistleblower agents have also stated that they reported to senior FBIofficials about the possibility of an attack on the US involving Osama Bin Laden, yet,FBI director David Mueller had stated after 9/11 that if only there was any pre-warning

    about something like the events of that day being able to happen (Source 3.i)* On the morning of 9/11, Porter Goss, a House Intelligence chairman was havingbreakfast with Pakistans security chief, Lt. General Mahmoud Ahmad, the head of thePakistani ISI (which was created by the CIA and is the Pakistani equivalent of the CIA).Florida Senator Bob Graham was also at the breakfast. (Source 3.j) Porter Goss later said,when he was pushing for war with Iraq, that, Iraq has expanded its weapons of massdestruction capabilities against its pledge not to. It still has deadly chemical weaponshidden throughout the country, and it has tried to develop nuclear devices as well. All ofhis statements have turned out to be utterly false or completely taken out of context, asthe case for the nuclear technology, which was completely abandoned by Iraq severalyears previous to the invasion of Iraq (Source 33)* What was so significant about Goss meeting with the head of the ISI? Well, itturns out that General Ahmad had wired $100,000 to Mohommad Atta, the apparentringleader behind the 9/11 attacks, which would implicate Ahmad as the money-manbehind 9/11. Yet, despite these facts, this breakfast meeting was not only not discussed indetail and inquired about by the 9/11 Commission, but it was also completely ignored andthere was no mention of it whatsoever. This is a very important issue that should beexamined, so why was it ignored? (Source 4.a)* Porter Goss was later made director of the CIA (Source 35) and remained in thatposition until he was only recently replaced by former head of the NSA General MichaelHayden, (Source 34) who while heading the NSA, was responsible for overseeing thehighly controversial and recently declared illegal and unconstitutional NSA wiretappingand surveillance program, which uses illegal techniques to spy on citizens and wiretapthem and has recently compiled the largest database in human history consistingprimarily of phone records.

It is not possible that these recordings picked up the impact of the buildings

    collapsing onto the ground, as the seismic evidence also shows the moments where thetowers hit the ground, which was briefly after the seismic activity. Also, the recordingsonly pick up underground vibrations, so that to be able to record a 2.0, it cannot be aresult of something hitting the surface of the ground, but rather that the activity had tocome from under the ground to be registered as it was.

Only part of this program has been more widely known as it came intopublic awareness with the Missile Defense Shield. This, however, is only one part ofthree in this proposed program. The other parts include implementing surveillanceequipment into space to help acquire a global police state, with the government having

    total information awareness. The third part of the program is most widely known as theStar Wars initiative. This part proposes placing actual weapons into space including lasercannons. Part of the purpose of weaponizing space would be to prevent any othercountries from following suit, so it is essential in the eyes of those who wrote the reportto implement it as soon as possible before any other countries begin doing so. 9/11

    provided the reason to begin implementation and increase immense military spending.(Source 3.k)* On January 11, 2001, 9 days before Donald Rumsfeld became Secretary ofDefense under the George W Bush administration, he issued a report called theCommission to Assess United States National Security Space Management andOrganization which was also known as the Rumsfeld Commission. Other members ofthe commission include Paul Wolfowitz, also a member of Project for the New AmericanCentury as well as being appointed Deputy Secretary of Defense 9 days after issuing thereport. Another member included then CIA director James Woolsey. This commissionadvocated an intense reorganization of United States defense and military under theSpace Force. To do this, however, they stated that, a disabling attack against the country

    and its people a Space Pearl Harbor will be the only event able to galvanize the nationand cause the US government to act. 9/11 provided Rumsfeld and all other advocates ofthis proposal a reason to begin implementation, 9/11 was the space Pearl Harbor sincethe attacks came from the air. That gave the impression that America was vulnerable andundefended. (Source 3.k)* Another known advocate of an immensely militarized space and in particular theSpace Command, was its commander, General Ralph E. Eberhart, who was in charge ofair traffic control and responses on 9/11 as he was commander of NORAD. (Source 3.k)* The Acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on 9/11 was General RichardMyers, who was previously head of the US Space Command and was now in the processof becoming the actual Chairman of the Join Chiefs of Staff, the highest military positionin the United States. This would mean that he, too, was a known advocate of themilitarized space program. In fact, Myers was in charge of the US Space Commandduring the time that the Vision for 2020 document was written. (Source 3.k)* From the above few points made, we can conclude that the three people in thepositions of having the most power to handle emergency situations and national defense,Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Commander of NORAD General Ralph E.Eberhart and Acting Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Richard Myers, were allknown advocates and sponsors of an incredibly increased defense and space weaponsprogram. This means that the three people most responsible for defense on 9/11 alsohappened to be three people who most needed 9/11 to get what they had always wanted.* A military official who worked for US CENTCOM (Central Command), LauroChavez, was at CENTCOM on the day of 9/11, and has recently come out publiclysaying that he was privy to some very important information. His job with the militarywas a computer analyst, and has worked on the personal computers of top Generals andofficials, such as General Tommy Franks, who was the leading General for the wars inAfghanistan and Iraq until 2003. Chavez said that there were drills going on that morningthat simulated the same attacks that were going on at the same time they were reallyoccurring. He said everyone was very confused where he worked, once the first towerwas hit. At this point, he and many others were desperately trying to figure out if US jets

    23/98

    had been scrambled to handle the problem. When they approached a more senior officialwith this question, he responded by saying that NORAD was told to stand down. Chavezthen describes how a few months prior, George W Bush made it so that the VicePresident, Dick Cheney, is the only person with the authority to scramble jets and haveauthority over NORAD. After Chavez came out publicly with this information, currently

    no longer working with the military, but rather a computer company, he was fired forundisclosed reasons. (Source 53)* Professor Steven Jones, who wrote about and studied the thermate explosives thatwere used in the towers, was put on leave from his University, BYU, for having differentopinions and beliefs. This is how these people work. If you speak out, and tell the truth,they will do whatever they can to deter you, from pressuring your employers to fire you,or much worse. (Source 54)* Hunter S. Thompson, the famous Gonzo journalist, who was most notable forwriting Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which was later turned into a movie, withJohnny Depp playing Thompson, died in 2005. Right before he died, he called a fellowjournalist friend who worked at The Globe and Mail in Canada, and said that he was

    working on a very important story about 9/11 and said that he had hard evidence toprove that the towers were brought down with explosives and not by the planes, and thathe feared that they might try to suicide him. He said that he knows how they work,and that he fears they may try to silence him. Within a few days, he killed himself, whiletalking on the phone with his wife. (Source 55)* John ONeill was the FBIs leading expert on Al Qaeda for 6 years and had beenwarning senior members of the FBI about the immense threats posed by the terroristgroup. However, his warnings were ignored time and time again until he resigned. He gota different job as a security head at the World Trade Center and began his first day on thejob on September 11, 2001, where he died in the collapse of the towers. (Source 56)* Even the Chairman and Co-Chair of the 9/11 Commission have come out andwrote a book describing that they were lied to by the Pentagon regarding many events of9/11, including the sequence of events that occurred. They do not, however, questiontheir official story. Could they be coming out public about the lying to relay the blamefrom them, as they have been continuously bombarded for their report, to shift the blameto the Pentagon and Administration for withholding information? Why didnt they comeout earlier with this information? (Source 57)

    The purpose of raising all of these questions and points is not to say that I knowwhat really happened that day, but rather that none of us know what really happened thatday, and that the only ones who do are the same ones who are systematically destroyingall the evidence and attacking all those who ask questions as well as refusing any attemptto gain access to information under the pretense of national security.

    For the sake of argument, lets say that I live in a house with 4 or 5 other people.One morning, two of the people I live with are killed in their room. Now, what does itsuggest to you if I were to immediately state that those responsible for the deaths were afew houses down the block and at the same time I am the only one that is, by my decree,allowed to be in the room where they died so that I could gather all the evidence? Nowwhat if I began destroying all the evidence, burning it up, hiding the bodies, and tellingeveryone in the house not to talk about any of it to anyone for the sake of home security

  • 7/29/2019 9-11 and the North American Military-Industrial Complex

    24/98

    from those people down the block? Would you then, blindly follow me to go attack andkill all the people at the other house, and then another house on another block, and so on,and so on? Lets say someone from within my house began asking questions about theinitial deaths, to which I responded that they are idiotic, and terrible people and that theyshould probably leave the house for good if they feel like asking such stupid questions.

    Questions that, I say, are only causing more damage than help. What does that suggestabout me? Are those who still live with me now safe from any further threats?What Im trying to say here is that, destruction of evidence, pressure for silence

    and personal attacks on those who ask questions does not suggest innocence, nor does itsuggest ignorance or incompetence, but rather complicity and guilt. I have extensivelyresearched, read and investigated the events of that day and those surrounding it and it ismy opinion, and I am not alone here, that the official explanation delivered forward bythe 9/11 Commission is not scientifically or reasonably possible. It is IMPOSSIBLE. Thissuggests that we have been lied to. Who has the ability and power to carry out not onlysuch attacks, but hide the information so well from getting out? Does Osama bin Laden ina cave in Afghanistan have the power to silence the entire media of North America from

    asking any questions? Does Osama bin Laden have the power to make NORAD and allother defenses stand down? Does bin Laden have the ability to close down the towersbefore 9/11 and evacuate them and plant high explosives throughout, all from a cave inAfghanistan while on dialysis? NO. Who does?

    If I were asked to name names from what Ive researched and read regarding whoseems to bear the most responsibility for the events of and since that day, I could onlyspeculate as to the exact perpetrators, since they have the power to hide the actual proof.The legal term, qui bono (Who benefits?) must be applied as it is applied in all criminalcases. This term suggests that those who benefit the most from the crime are most likelyguilty of the crime. What science and reason and motive point to is that it was the highestlevels of government, including George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice, JohnAshcroft, Richard Armitage, as well as the heads of the CIA, FBI, NSA and the heads ofthe Pentagon such as Donald Rumsfeld and Paul Wolfowitz. Other prominent figureswho keep coming up in my research include Henry Kissinger, Larry Silverstein, theRockefeller family, and George HW Bush, as well an many others. But along with thesepeople, I can name corporations that have benefited the most from the events on and after9/11, such as the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and who also have significant connectionswith all the above-mentioned people and positions in government and who I wouldconsider to be on a list of suspects. They have the motive, the means and the ability tocarry out such an attack. These corporations include the military corporations such asLockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrup Grummun, and Raytheon, as well as the oil giantsHalliburton, ExxonMobil, Enron, Shell, Chevron, British Petroleum, and Unocal, Enronand the media conglomerates such as General Electric, NewsCorporation, TimeWarner,AT&T, Walt Disney Corporation and Verizon. After all, if the media has refused to askany questions revolving around such issues and the above mentioned, easily accessibleyet never heard questions, then are they not acting as accessories after the fact? At least itshould be investigated.

    All those who come out asking questions and raising important facts are oftentargeted for criticism questioning their character and sanity, blasting them as rabidconspiracy theorists blaming aliens for 9/11. I am not a rabid conspiracy theorist, in fact,

  • 7/29/2019 9-11 and the North American Military-Industrial Complex

    25/98

    I refused to address any such conspiracy theories revolving around 9/11 for nearly fiveyears since the event. I took what I saw that day, and heard then on from the USgovernment and the media, and that is what I took as truth. And for nearly five years Ibelieved a lie about the most significant event thus far of this century. I refused to addressany theories because since the events of that day were so important and enormous that I

    just assumed that there would of course be crazy people with crazy theories. It wasntuntil I had begun investigating and researching into the military-industrial complex in theUS and Canada and the power and influence of corporations in our societies that theevents of that day began to appear in small places and in small doses regarding someinteresting questions. I had always distrusted the administration since George W. Bushwas appointed President by the Supreme Court, which his father appointed. I neverbelieved what they, in the administration, said. I thought that George W. Bush wassimply an, idiot with too much power and too many smart and secretive people aroundhim. However, though Bush comes off as simple-minded, he must play on this demeanorbecause it is his very care-free, simple ways that make so many believe that there is noway he could be behind such a thing. Since when in our societies of these so-called

    developed countries does stupidity erase complicity? I believe it to be true that GeorgeW. Bush is not, by any means the master mind behind the operation, it just would not bea smart maneuver for those really in power to be in the public eye, but rather have a dim-witted puppet take the brunt of opposition and react claiming Incompetence!Incompetence! Well, there is only so many lies one can take without having to stand upand confront the liars. These people are very competent, they know what theyre doingand theyre doing it meticulously. What they lack is not competence, but rather moralityand ethics; what they lack is humanity.

    What do we, the people get from all of these actions they, in power take? Theyorchestrate the events of 9/11 in order to pursue their goals of becoming the unchallengedworld empire by invading and attacking countries half a world away. They have used9/11 to create a war on terror and pass the Patriot Act, which took awayconstitutionally guaranteed rights of US citizens in the name of National Security.Thomas Jefferson said, Those who give up freedom for security, deserve neither. Howdo ordinary citizens benefit from anything they have done? There are no benefits for theordinary person, the real citizen. All we get from what they do is a loss of rights, justice,freedom, lives and a future. We have everything to lose and nothing to gain from thesepeople, these criminals. What do they have to gain? What do they get from what theyhave been doing? They get unrestricted power and unimaginable wealth. What is themain reason behind most crimes in the world? Greed. Is it impossible to imagine thatwhen massive greed meets massive power massive crimes can be committed? Of courseeveryone who speaks out will be attacked, they have much to lose from those who wishto speak and take it. Their power only rests in us, the people. They only control us solong as we let them. They have created this fictional war on terror, disguising thereality of it as a war on Muslims around the world, much like Hitler used the Jewishpeople as a scapegoat for Germanys problems.

    In fact, the relation between Hitler and Bush, both figuratively and literally isquite disturbing. In difficult times like these, we must examine our history, not simply asa single nation, but as a civilization. We must examine and review the times in our worldhistory where great tragedies and crimes occurred in order so that we can wake up and

  • 7/29/2019 9-11 and the North American Military-Industrial Complex

    26/98

    stop history from repeating itself. The time to wake is now. In 1933, Hitler and the Naziparty were democratically elected into government in Germany. In 2000, Bush waselected into power by the Supreme Court. In Germany in 1933, the Reichstag (GermanParliament) burned down. It is widely agreed upon by historians that this fire was startedby the Nazis, quite possibly even Goering, himself, Hitlers second in command.

    However, Hitler blames the Communist terrorists for the fire and passed the EnablingAct, which provided Hitler with the ability to cast aside the constitution and seizedictatorial powers in the name of National Security because Germany was in too muchdanger from the Communist threat. (Source 2.q)

    In 2001, on September 11, the predominant economic and military institutionswere attacked by agents within the United States, not in a cave using a laptop thousandsof miles away. Dick Cheney, the second in command in the US was the main person incontrol of the United States on September 11, 2001 while the Commander in Chief,George W. Bush was reading a book about a goat. The event was blamed on radicalIslamists, who are unidentifiable as apart from all other Muslims, so they all share theharsh reality of this racist war on Islam and Muslims. Then the Patriot Act, as I

    mentioned above, was passed allowing Bush to gain dictatorial powers that allowed himto cast aside the US Constitution to which he twice swore a public oath to protect, all inthe name of National Security. Now some may say that the Hitler/Bush comparison issomewhat hyperbolic, considering that Hitler had concentration camps in which he killedmillions of people. This is true, but what is rarely spoken of, but not denied in any way,in fact I found this information in a press release from Halliburtons website in which itstates that it had received a $385 million contract from the Department of HomelandSecurity to create a large amount of Prison Camps inside the United States. The declaredpurpose of these camps is to hold illegal immigrants in forced prison labour, however,many believe that this is simply a lie. It may, in part, be true, as many immigrants arealready in prison camps inside the US, but it is not strictly for them. In the Patriot Act 2,which was recently passed by the do-nothing for the people everything for the FuhrerCongress, a new definition for Terrorist was established. It describes a terrorist asessentially anyone who represents an opposition to the standing US government and itspolicies. This includes peace activists, and anti-war demonstrators as well as academics,artists, scientists and alternative media. The first people who disappear and who suffer inany society when it starts to turn to a totalitarian state are the artists, academics andscientists. Who are we seeing being alienated for having opinions today that are not of thestatus quo among the uninformed? When people try to inform others of the reality of ourcurrent global situation, why is it that they are alienated and attacked? Why is it that theyare personally attacked rather than their views examined? Is it that those in power fearthat when up to scrutiny, their version of history does not stand as tall as truth, so theymust discredit the individual rather than confront the issue?

    George W. Bush said himself in a speech to the United Nations regarding theevents of 9/11, Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning theattacks of September the eleventh. Malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame awayfrom the terrorists themselves. Away from the guilty. (Source 58) Yes, I agree. Lets allof us, never tolerate OUTRAGEOUS conspiracy theories. Why not start with the mostoutrageous conspiracy story. The one put forth by the government concerning 9/11. Thisconspiracy theory, as a conspiracy is defined as two or more people planning to commit a
