The official story of 9/11 is false

[ Joshua Blakeney | 21 Sep 2011 | 13 Comments ]

I spent the tenth anniversary of 9/11 with Ex-Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, U.S. Senator Mike Gravel, Judge Imposimato (the Honorary President of the Supreme Court of Italy), Mohawk activist Splitting the Sky, professors MacQueen, Griffin, Chossudovsky, Scott, Keefer, Zarembka, Lee, as well as countless architects, engineers, pilots, physicists and other specialists at the International Hearings on the Events of September 11, 2001 also known as The Toronto Hearings.

I have studied 9/11 intensely for four years, nearly two of them as a graduate student at the University of Lethbridge (which has been subsidized by the Queen Elizabeth II Graduate Scholarship I received last November). I have come to the conclusion that evidence suggests that 9/11 was primarily a Mossad operation done to get the U.S. public to view Middle East affairs through Israel’s spectacles and to perceive a threat from Israel’s enemies the “Islamist terrorists”. It is, however, more likely for one to die in the bath or from lightening than from terrorism.

According to ABC News five Israelis were arrested on 9/11 after they were seen celebrating the collapse of the towers. They worked for a New York-based Mossad firm called Urban Moving Systems. Upon their arrest one of these alleged Mossad agents said to the cops “we’re not your problem the Palestinians are your problem”. They reportedly “had maps linking them to the blasts”. One alleged Mossad agent subsequently confessed live on Israeli TV to having been sent “to document the event.”

On September 10th 2001 Donald Rumsfeld announced that he’d lost $2.3 trillion, which went missing under the auspices of Dov Zakheim, a US-Israeli dual-citizen working in the Pentagon. Immediately after 9/11 bin Laden denied involvement in 9/11 and the most prominent of the post-2004 “confession videos” has been described by Professor Bruce Lawrence, one of the world’s top-most authorities on bin Laden, as “bogus.” Mohamed Atta spoke Hebrew (according to his girlfriend) and most of the alleged hijackers were secular alcohol drinkers, drug-takers and strip club goers who obviously weren’t Islamists willing to die for the Quran.

According to the BBC and Guardian at least two of the alleged hijackers turned up alive after 9/11. Professors Griffin and Dewdney have proven the alleged cell phone calls from the supposedly hijacked flights to be scientifically impossible as of 2001, and even the FBI has acknowledged these findings. Former NSA worker Wayne Madsen published documents from British Intelligence alleging that Mossad ran the hijacker cells.

Hanjour, alleged pilot of flight 77, having repeatedly failed his pilot’s test was given a license, according to FBI documents, by a former Israeli Defense Force paratrooper Eddie Shalev. Philosopher James Fetzer, and others, has proven that no Boeing 757 hit the Pentagon on 9/11, despite the widely circulated media coverage and apparent video.

I spent time in Toronto with Richard Gage who heads up the group Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, which has 1500 members and has confirmed that the symmetrical collapse WTC building 7, which was hit by no plane, represented a quintessential controlled demolition.

Blaming Saudi “terrorists” would have been counterintuitive for the traditional US imperial establishment but not for Likudnik imperialists who have consistently criticized US support for Arab strongmen who, in order to galvanize their own subjects, typically support the Palestinian struggle against Israeli colonialism. Israel’s fear of Arab strongmen was vindicated when Saddam Hussein fired scud missiles at Israel in 1991.

Contrary to popular belief the 9/11 wars weren’t advancing the interests primarily of Big Oil, which traditionally pursued a policy of co-opting Arab strongmen such as Israel’s number one foe Saddam Hussein. The “war on terrorism”, a phrase coined by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, is aimed at weakening and destabilizing all Arab regimes including the Saudis so Israel can retain regional hegemony. Most neocons were heavily partisan to Israel; Wolfowitz and Feith lost their security clearances in the 1980s for passing classified documents to the Israeli government. They were the architects of the 9/11 wars along with their fellow Zionist-neocons. According to distinguished sociologist James Petras 9/11 ushered in “the globalization of Zionist Power.”

As someone who has studied 9/11 in an academic context I can tell you there is a grand total of zero academic defenses of the official conspiracy theory as contained in the 9/11 Commission Report, which even some 9/11 Commissioners have now renounced. Most analysts presuppose the official conspiracy theory and then launch ad hominem attacks on 9/11 skeptics. Professor Hall and I were able to expose “9/11 conspiracy theorist debunker” Michael Shermer as having mischaracterized his credentials after he came to the University of Lethbridge last October and spuriously compared the scores of academics who’ve seen through the lies and crimes of 9/11 with Holocaust Deniers.

My reading indicates that any academic who seriously looks into what did and did not happen on 9/11 concludes that the official story cannot possibly be true. Next time your professor mentions 9/11 put your hand up and ask them which conspiracy theory s/he prescribes to and if s/he supports the official conspiracy theory ask them to provide evidence of the alleged hijackers boarding the planes on 9/11, or to explain the collapse of building 7, or to refute the points I’ve made above. Students must unite to oppose the deceptive hoax being propagated by opportunist academics who have no evidence that the official story is true, but who expediently parrot it in their pedagogy and scholarship.

    Is this editorial for real? 4 years of studying this event resulted in theories that are no different, and no more substantiated than what we have had available online?

    I am embarrassed that a U of L student who is asking their readers to be inquisitive and informed, would try and pass off this logic defying garbage as academic.

    Full of “allegedly”, and “reportedly”. But no compelling evidence what so ever. Your “readings” and “meetings with experts” indicate vague support of “this” and “that.”

    Your writing has no real substance or foundation strong enough to even remotely help your subscribed theories.

    You could apply your template to any fairy-tale theories that anyone has, so long as that “anyone” has thrown all rational thinking out the window.

    The point of my response has nothing to do with my or really your opinion on 9/11. I have read about all of the popular 9/11 truther theories. You have nothing new here. What I am responding to is your lack of originality, and plain mediocrity in your presentation.

    It would not have been so severe until you suggested we subscribe to what little you said, and spread your word, going as far as to say students should defy anyone who opposes your opinion.

    From such simple aspects such as who coined the phrase “War on Terror”, to your attempt at sensationalizing a useless generalization ie. “It is, however, more likely for one to die in the bath or from lightening than from terrorism.” It is just plain ridiculous.

    Again, I stress this has nothing to do with my personal feelings surrounding the event in question.

    Please grasp the idea that a person can see flaws in someone’s logic without being emotionally attached to the idea in question.

    Generally for conspiracy theorists, it is not about uncovering the truth, despite what they lead you to believe. It is rather them trying to find the details that only support the “truth” they wish to see. They then dismiss any views or body of evidence that may oppose it. No matter how compelling the evidence against a conspiracy theorists argument is, they will always find an outlandish explanation that has little to no verifiable sources to support it. And thus the cycle goes on… it is much like arguing against some one who brings up FAITH as a method of defeating opposing theistic arguments. But I digress.

    As long as conspiracy theorists come back to their preconceived notions they are content.

    9/11 “Truth” Movement. What kind bullshit is that?

    I would be more satisfied than a priest at a pre-school (u mad?) if it turned out you were just trolling us.

    Congratulations on the scholarship. I am jealous you went to the Toronto Hearings. Good job, I bet it was awesome.

    Come at me bro.

    Yours respectfully,

    Excellent work and very timely. Let’s hope we find out the Truth very soon to help achieve justice and peace in this world.

  • superfan said:

    thank you for this blogg etc. have you read the planetary patriot, all in their who really did 9/11, he’s banned and blocked on facebook. we all no why;) but so good you and he and more of us are questioning and looking for the answers now. at least that is a start!

  • Kaspar Larsen said:

    So much fail in such a short blog post. Just about every paragraph contains an outright lie or a willfully misinterpreted factoid. If your university work is of similar standard, I’ll be amazed if you make it through the next year.

  • Wooten Berston said:

    Aha! “Nadeem”.. “Kaspar”.. paid trolls? No doubt. Nothing but insults, vituperations, personal attacks. So, since you have set the standard of discourse herein..

    You both must be “truthers” pretending to be “anti-truthers”.. which is to say “liars”. It’s obvious. You make un-truthers look like gibbering idiots. Your idiotic posts are translatable to just this: “neener neener neener!” or perhaps “double plus ungood! double plus ungood!”

    If all “un-truthers”, which is to say “liars”, were really as transparently stupid as this there would be no opposition to “truth” whatsoever. So I can only conclude you are pimping “truth” by pretending to be gibbering “un-truthers”.

    If however in the remote chance you actually believe the official gibberish.. why then, you should shut up because you are making the whole “un-truth” movement look really, really, really stupid.

    Disrespectfully yours.. not..

    Really. This is the sort of “quality material” the Meliorist is considering acceptable for publication these days? What garbage. The use of this tragic event for political and academic grandstanding is pretty twisted, but terribly common. There’s nothing special or intelligent about this article, with the exception of the fact that I cannot believe scholarship money went to this “study.”

  • Jim Clark said:

    This article is very thin stuff indeed. For instance, the “hijackers who turned up alive” was due to mistaken identity. Simple research will reveal explanations for the points raised here. And what the attack on Michael Shermer has to do with anything is not clear. It has zip to do with proving the extraordinary claims posited above, which this article completely fails to do.

    As for two of the challenges posed in the last paragraph: (1) the manifests for all the flights are available, and contain the names of the hijackers. (2) WTC 7 was taken down by fire ignited by debris from the collapse of WTC 1. The National Institute of Standards and Technology investigation concluded that “After 7 hours of uncontrolled fires, a steel girder on Floor 13 lost its connection to one of the 81 columns supporting the building. Floor 13 collapsed, beginning a cascade of floor failures to Floor 5. Column 79, no longer supported by a girder, buckled, triggering a rapid succession of structural failures that moved from east to west. All 23 central columns, followed by the exterior columns, failed in what’s known as a “progressive collapse”.”

    I can assure you, Wooten Berston that you are wrong.
    Perhaps you are a paid troller who is suppose to make anti-truthers look like trolling truthers who are paid by other truthers.

    TRUTHCEPTION!

    Oh dear. So much nonsense here. This is a particular favourite:

    “On September 10th 2001 Donald Rumsfeld announced that he’d lost $2.3 trillion, which went missing under the auspices of Dov Zakheim, a US-Israeli dual-citizen working in the Pentagon.”

    Here the word “announced” is used to deceive the reader into thinking this was new information, when actually it had been in the public domain for some time, the initial report revealing it being released in early 2000 (search for 2.3 in http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=107_senate_hearings&docid=f:75903.pdf ).

    So the phrase that “he’d lost” is also deceptive: the problems had nothing to with Rumsfeld.

    And the idea that they went missing “under the auspices of Dov Zakheim” is also false: he didn’t take office until May 2001.

    Manipulative, deceptive and false, then: which, I guess, actually makes this a very representative article for the “truth” movement.

    Hey guys, Will probably be the U.S. much better off sticking with Syria’s Assad?

  • Istvan said:

    Yes, it’s to be expected that Israeli agents engineered the 9/11 attacks but forgot to blame Palestinians in the phony cover story. Just a simple oversight, I’m sure.

    Hugs,

    Sad that the meliorist even publishes trash such as this
