Ipsos Reid Poll: 22% Think 9/11 was Inside Job

2006-09-14T08:32:00.000-07:00

Printed in the Winnipeg Free Press, september 11th, 2006, buried half way down an article on page A5:

"In a bizarre finding, the polling firm [Ipsos Reid] reported that 22 per cent of Canadians believe in a conspiracy theory in which the terrorist attacks were orchestrated by a "group of highly influential Americans and others" rather than by supporters of Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaida terrorist network."

This is front page news being pushed back because of its controversial nature.

9/11’s Elephant in the Living Room

Published September 8^th, 2006

Did 9/11 really unfold like the US government tells us? An increasing number of people are questioning the official story. A recent Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll conducted found that 36% of Americans believe that it is ‘very likely’ or ‘somewhat likely’ that federal officials either participated in the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon or took no action to stop them ‘because they wanted the United States to go to war in the Middle East’. The poll also found that 16% of Americans believe that the WTC towers and World Trade Center Building 7 were destroyed by explosives. This is starkly different from the official narrative which states that they collapsed from a combination of plane crashes and office fires. Why the great discrepancy, and how do the two theories stand up against each other?

An examination of World Trade Center Building 7 and the facts surrounding its collapse will hopefully illustrate why many people doubt the US government's account of 9/11. To start, World Trade Building 7 was a 47 storey building with a steel frame that housed many federal agencies including the CIA. Nearby the WTC towers, it was said to have been evacuated early that day after it suffered some minor damage. The fires were small and would have been routine for NYC firefighter teams but they were left alone. Around 5:20 pm on 9/11 the building disappeared in under seven seconds into a cloud of smoke. Poof! What happened to Building 7?

The official story claims that an explosion of the diesel fuel tanks in the basement caused the complete collapse of the building. But the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) official report admits that:

“The specifics of the fires in WTC7 and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown at this time. Although the total diesel fuel on the premises contained massive potential energy, the best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence.”

The investigations into WTC7 leave some disturbing questions. Why does FEMA conclude it was fire and quit probing when it admits its theory is highly unlikely? Strangely, FEMA’s non-investigation is consistent with that of the official 9/11 Commission: the collapse of WTC7 is not mentioned once in the 571-page 9/11 Commission Report.

Let’s examine the facts. First, WTC7 collapsed into itself in about seven seconds. In fact, it accelerates downward at nearly the rate of objects in free-fall. Hardly any damage is caused to the surrounding buildings because it collapses onto its own base, or “footprint”. Nothing is left of the building but one-storey pile of rubble. Secondly, a kink forms near the centre of the building during the collapse, indicating a near-centre column is the first to fail. Destroying a centre column first is normal in controlled demolitions because it pulls buildings inwards. Thirdly, a row of “squibs”, or dust-jets are seen shooting out of the building sequentially. Fourthly, huge expanding dust clouds made of pulverized concrete puff out of the base. Fifthly, mixtures of liquid steel are found in the rubble weeks after the collapse, which simply cannot be produced by office fires. Sixthly, all the previous points are explained by, and even expected in controlled demolition. These are unknown events for typical office fires. In fact, there are no examples of steel-framed buildings collapsing at all like WTC7 from fire, even though there are many cases of more intense and longer burning fires in steel-framed skyscrapers. Seventhly, the building’s owner Larry Silverstein said on PBS’s 9/11 special America Rebuilds that the collapse of building 7 was purposefully demolished:

“I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department commander … and I said “We’ve had such a terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.” And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse.”

The phrase “pull it” is an industry-wide term for demolish. Controlled demolition cannot be done in a day. It takes demolition experts weeks of careful planning. Lastly, after reviewing the footage of the collapse, Queen’s University’s civil engineering professor Luke Bisby admitted:

“The collapse of WTC 7 looks similar to the type of collapse that one would expect in a controlled demolition.”

The compelling physical evidence for the controlled demolition of WTC7, the US government’s refusal to properly investigate, and the surprising omission of this issue from the front page of our newspapers is alarming to say the least. As the polls show the cover-up of 9/11 has become an elephant of an issue, the mainstream media continues to deny its existence. Yet it’s there and it’s not going away. Because of the implications of a cover-up, we ought to seriously reevaluate the recent changes in our foreign policy that stemmed from 9/11: the so-called War on Terror, and our occupation of Afghanistan. Moreover, we need to recognize that the mainstream media is obstructing the truth about WTC7 and ask ourselves, why?

CBC Gives 9/11 Truth Fair Shake

2006-09-10T20:03:00.000-07:00

Tonight's epidsode of Sunday Edition was a fairly balanced story of the movement for the truth behind 9/11. Taking interviews from David Ray Griffin, Dylan Avery, the editor of Popular Mechanics, and 9/11 Commissioner Kean, the evidence for a coverup was given in a straight up method.

This is going to create some big waves.

CBC's Plugs Official 9/11 Story, Again

2006-09-05T14:19:00.000-07:00

Coming up to commemorate the 5th anniversary of 9/11 is a CBC special titled "The Secret History of 9/11". Playing at 7pm on september 10th, this two-hour documentary represents the government's propaganda campaign to distract the public from the important questions about 9/11.

I urge everyone to write CBC and tell them either to change the documentary to represent the variety of opinion about 9/11 and discuss the possibility of government complicity.

http://www.cbc.ca/contact/index.jsp

Some questions you might pose:

Why wasn't building 7 investigated properly?
Why were Pentagon defenses not operating?
Why weren't jet fighters summoned quickly?
Why does the Pentagon withhold videos that would prove their story?
Why was the WTC steel taken away and destroyed overseas?

There are many unanswered questions about 9/11 that the CBC sees unfit to investigate. Why?

Back from 9/11 Leader Recruiting in Quebec

2006-08-06T12:12:00.000-07:00

During a five week french immersion program at Trois-Pistoles Quebec, I took the opportunity to network with youths from across Canada. I distributed 9/11 information cards, and gave out videos to those that expressed interest. Others I asked directly to start their own university action clubs based on demanding 9/11 truth. The response was mostly positive, I received lots of encouragement from many people including the program director. In the next week I am headed to Kenora for two weeks to visit my family and participate in a 9/11 conference in Winnipeg, MB on August 20th with stoplying.ca's Dr. Hawkins.

I am looking for a Kingston residents to participate in a leaflet action at the Kingston movie theatres during the release of Oliver Stone's World Trade Center. The release date is the 9th of August, and I will be leafletting in Kenora if the film is playing there. The job involves copying sheets, getting to the theatres before the play time and handing them out. Email me if you are interested.

Open Letter to All Canadians

2006-06-10T15:09:00.000-07:00

Dear Citizens of Canada,

Ever since George W. Bush was appointed President of the United States in 2000 in a widely acknowledged stolen election, the world has struggled against the most powerful, secretive and aggressive administration ever in US history. In the past six years we have seen in the United States: the concentration and homogenization of mainstream media, terror, severe increases in military budgets and decreases in social spending, the erosion of civil rights for security in the USA Patriot Act, the creation of an invasive new federal Department of Homeland Security, lies about threats and weapons of mass destruction, the invasion of two sovereign countries, the torture and indefinite detention of detainees without trial, suspension of the Geneva Convention, the use of white phosphorus chemical weapons in Falluja, the use of depleted uranium weapons, the murder of tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians, domestic phone tapping without warrant, the use of Presidential signing statements to contravene the law, the militarization of the US-Mexico border, and many other worrisome activities that we may not even know about.

Some of these disastrous policies have slipped into Canada without much public reaction. For example the Harper government has endorsed the use of Security Certificates to hold Canadians indefinitely without trial, and often in solitary confinement much like the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. For this reason it has been nicknamed Guantanamo North, and is located in Kingston Ontario, where I am writing you from today. This practice is illegal, immoral, and damaging our international reputation.

You must know that Canada’s involvement with the United States is not limited to trade of goods and services across the border. There is significant military cooperation; our armies can fight in an interlocking and seamless manner through NORAD, (North American Aerospace Defense Command). Our own government is complicit with some of the crimes of the Bush Regime by allying ourselves with them, and helping them in their mission to control Middle-East oil wealth. The influence on the Canadian government is obvious. The Harper government has just recently committed our soldiers to Afghanistan for an additional two years. Why? Doesn’t our occupation of Afghanistan make us a target of terrorism? Wouldn’t you feel better not having Canadians killing civilians, and being killed in an impoverished country on the other side of the globe?

The continued occupation of Afghanistan makes Canada a terrorist target. Deposing the Taliban and sticking around for 10 years will not prevent more terror attacks from occurring because the origin of the 9/11 attacks were not from Afghanistan at all. The 9/11 attacks were committed by elements within the US government. The US military-industrial complex, the mainstream media, the numerous US intelligence services are all complicit in a massive deception, the largest psychological attack ever to take place in the history of humanity.

The premise of this letter is to inform everyone that I have known that I have joined a broad grassroots social movement, called the 9/11 Truth Movement, which I consider to be the only escape from the grim geopolitical situation of the world today. To explain why I have joined this movement, please open your mind while you read the evidence I present. Consider the lies you have been told by the Bush Regime, and how they use 9/11 to manipulate emotion and opinion. Consider how their disrespect for human life allowed policies that resulted in the cold-blooded murder of Iraqis by the tens of thousands through aerial bombing, or the recently exposed Haditha Massacre.

The Official Story of 9/11

I will start by briefly explaining the official government theory. Nineteen devout Muslim-Arab hijackers with box cutters penetrated airport security, took over the cockpits of four airplanes, evaded air defense systems, and skillfully flew them into three out of four targets: two planes struck one tower each at the World Trade Center, one crashed into Pennsylvania, the other into Pentagon. The motive was that these radicals hate freedom and democracy and our lifestyle, or perhaps, it was in retaliation from punitive American foreign policy in the Middle-East, or having American soldiers stationed in Saudi Arabia. The towers suffered total and catastrophic pancake collapse about an hour after the kerosene jet fuel ignited office supplies, which burned so hot that the huge steel support columns were weakened. The energy from the top thirty floors crashed down and destroyed all the floors below it, resulting in total destruction. Later that afternoon the 47-storey WTC Building 7 collapsed in a similar manner, this time from exploding diesel fuel tanks in the basement. Building 7 had not been struck by an airplane. Flight 77 pulled an astonishing 7,000ft drop in altitude while turning 270 degrees in a matter of a few minutes, to crash into the bottom level of the Pentagon inches above the grass at 500MPH. The wreckage was burned up in the crash.

There are four main theories about the 9/11 attacks:

1. The official story is correct

2. The official story is basically correct with some errors

3. The official story is incorrect: the US government allowed the attacks to occur

4. The official story is incorrect: the US government was instrumental in making them occur

Allow me to explain to you with how the official story is impossible and omits critical information, and is therefore completely false and should not be trusted. Further evidence will point to actual government complicity in the attacks. Please do not take what I present here as the absolute truth, you must take time to review it yourself; I will provide references where I can and will point you towards more resources. One thing is certain. The volume, scope, diversity, and quality of evidence are staggering. Dozens of amateur documentary films, dozens of books, hundreds of websites, and many radio shows have been important in getting the word out about 9/11 truth. When I learned about it in March 2005, I was as shocked as you will be. The feeling has been likened to being unplugged from The Matrix. This letter is your red pill.

Here are just some of the suppressed facts and unanswered questions about 9/11.

The Alleged Hijackers

The alleged hijackers were not devout; in fact, some were seen in strip clubs the night before 9/11, drinking alcohol and getting lap dances. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2001/09/14/miami-club.htm

The alleged hijackers were not present on the list of passengers identified from flight 77, as revealed by a FOIA (freedom of information act) request. http://www.sierratimes.com/03/07/02/article_tro.htm

Hani Hanjour, the alleged hijacker to have flown flight 77 into the Pentagon, flew with such skill that he was able to descend 7000ft in a 270 degree spiral in just 3 minutes, right into the bottom floor of the Pentagon, inches above the grass. But his flight instructors told reporters he was an incompetent pilot who couldn’t fly a Cessna. "I'm still to this day amazed that he could have flown into the Pentagon," the former [Flight Academy] employee said. "He could not fly at all."

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F20A11FD35550C778CDDAC0894DA404482

In addition to this, many of the alleged hijackers have been found alive! The identities of the “real” hijackers are still uncertain.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A59320-2001Sep19&notFound=true

The War Games and Air Defense Systems

What about the air defense systems? How come the planes weren’t stopped? There were up to 15 different military exercises going on 9/11, which removed fighters away from the area to Canada and to South Carolina, and other exercises inserted false radar blips and simulated hijacked commercial airliners. This was meant to confuse air defenses, and allow the planes through since no one would know which hijacks were real and which ones were simulated.

http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/entity.jsp?id=1521846767-1839

Clearly the air defense system and the Bush Regime knew that planes could be used as weapons, NORAD simulated hijacked planes on a regular basis. Scrambling jets immediately is normal air defense procedure. It would take an intervention to stop the planes from being intercepted.

http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/04/19/norad.exercise/index.html

The Twin Towers and Building 7

The collapse of the towers and Building 7 is very suspicious since no steel-framed building had ever collapsed from fire before 9/11, and no building since has collapsed from fire. In fact, it is impossible for fire to destroy steel buildings, because kerosene and other office supplies burn at a lower temperature than steel will melt, even during perfect fuel mixture conditions, which were not present in the towers. This is shown by the amount of black smoke and soot (which are by-products of incomplete combustion) emanating from the airplane holes. Metal will also conduct heat away from the fires and distribute it over the 47 massive core beams that were 110 stories tall. Any individual location in the steel beam would not reach a significantly high temperature, especially since the fires only lasted about an hour. WTC Building 7, a 47 story steel-framed skyscraper, was not even hit by an airplane. It was hit by a small amount of debris, causing a few small fires on a couple of floors, which burned through the day until it collapsed suddenly and totally at 5:20pm.

All three WTC buildings showed characteristics that are found only with controlled demolitions:

Symmetry – the buildings fell equally from all sides, as if all beams failed simultaneously

Speed – each building fell at nearly free-fall speed, which means debris had no resistance during its descent

Squib/Debris Jets – jets of dusty debris shoot out of the buildings, in sequence. (If you look closely as the towers implode, jets of dust come out below the detonation wave)

Molten Steel – found at ground zero after collapse, only possible if explosives were set off

http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7.html

Molten Iron found leaking out of the Towers – Thermite is mixture of iron oxide and aluminum powder which react to produce aluminum oxide and molten iron. Thermite is used in controlled demolitions to cut large steel beams. http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7.html

Pulverization – Most of the concrete, and anything in the offices were totally pulverized into a fine dust, which requires many times the energy than gravity alone could provide. Dust and asbestos inhalation has caused morbidity and mortality in ground zero workers.

Pyroclastic Debris Flow – (The large grey clouds billowing out of the towers). These hot expanding gases with suspended dust particles exhibit behaviour only associated with controlled demolitions or volcanic eruptions that have enormous amounts of energy – orders of magnitude more energy than the potential energy of the top thirty floors of the towers.

In addition to this, ground zero was cordoned off and controlled by federal agencies and cleanup was initiated immediately. All the steel has been shipped overseas and destroyed without being thoroughly examined. http://www.china.org.cn/english/2002/Jan/25776.htm

The building’s owner, Larry Silverstein even admitted to demolishing WTC Building 7 on PBS special called America Rebuilds, using an industry term pull that is synonymous with demolish.

“I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, "We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it." And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse.” http://911research.wtc7.net/wtc/evidence/pullit.html

Furthermore, there are widespread eye witness reports of explosions being heard, felt, and seen. Firefighters in the Naudet Brother’s Documentary “9/11” discuss what they saw: (Also available in Loose Change 2^nd Edition):

        fireman2: We made it outside, we made it about a block.

        fireman1: We made it at least 2 blocks.

        fireman2: 2 blocks.

        fireman1: and we started runnin'

        fireman2: pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop-pop

        fireman1: Floor by floor it started poppin' out ..

        fireman2: It was as if as if they had detonated, det..

        fireman1: yea detonated yea

        fireman2: as if they had planned to take down a building,

          boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom ...

        fireman1: All the way down, I was watchin it, and runnin'

The firemen are describing the sequence of charges being exploded in the correct order to make the building fall down in the way intended. Pop pop pop!

Explosives could have been planted in the towers during a series of evacuations and power-downs in the towers. “Over the past few weeks we'd been evacuated a number of times, which is unusual.” Ben Fountain, former worker at WTC. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/people.html

The Pentagon & Flight United 93

A 16 foot diameter hole for a 124ft wingspan, 80 ton airplane doesn’t match up. The damage is completely inconsistent with a 757 crash, and much more consistent with a missile or small plane attack. Frames from a video of the attack from a Pentagon camera were unofficially released, but did not prove flight 77 hit the Pentagon. Two new videos were recently and officially released, both do not show flight 77, and one of the videos is from the same camera as the still shots that came out earlier. The new video shows a rather a fuzzy cone that could be anything. Watch the video for yourself and see what you can find, I promise it won’t be flight 77. http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/05/16/pentagon.video/index.html

The attack struck the part of the Pentagon that was under renovations for wall reinforcement. To hit this part of the Pentagon, the plane had to make a tight and dangerous 270^o turn. This section had the thickest walls and contained the fewest number of people. It would have been much easier and caused more damage for the pilot to have crashed directly in from the direction he was coming from. Why would the pilot risk missing his target so he could hit the fewest number of people at the thickest part of the building?

Other video tapes of the attack exist, but they were confiscated and subsequently not released to the public. This is highly suspicious, and what I would call guilty behaviour. Why not prove their innocence and show tapes from the Citgo station and the Sheraton hotel (where the confiscated tapes were taken from)? Because these tapes would disprove the official story without a doubt, so they must be kept secret, because of national security reasons.

Flight United 93 is also very mysterious. “It looked like somebody just dropped a bunch of metal out of the sky.” said Wally Miller, the Somerset County Coroner. “I stopped being coroner after about 20 minutes, because there were no bodies there.” (from Loose Change 2^nd Edition)

The Official Reports

The 9/11 Commission Report

An entire book by David Ray Griffin, titled The 9/11 Commission Report: Omissions and Distortions examines the inconsistencies and outright lies of the report. The Commission was called 441 days after 9/11, but similar investigations for the JFK assassination, Pearl Harbor, and other US national tragedies began in less than one week. President Bush tried to limit the scope of the investigation from the outset. The chairman Phillip Zelikow, previously held a position in the Bush administration. Most of the other 9/11 commissioners also had serious conflicts of interest. Almost all of the questions asked by the Family Steering Committee were unanswered.

The Media

The mainstream media landscape is owned by a handful of companies that dominate the news. Each company has the same interest- make more money, not make accurate, insightful critiques of the government.

These companies persist in broadcasting simple and universal myths to America. America as struggling in a fight between good and evil, America is always on the side of good, and America as the high-water mark of democracy. Another myth is that the media are trusted; CNN: The Most Trusted Name In News or unbiased, FOX: Fair and Balanced, even when trust in the media is at a dismal 36%. There is a similar but less obvious bias in Canadian news, which we rarely perceive because it appeals to our own sense of patriotism and pride.

http://www.usatoday.com/life/2003-05-27-media-trust_x.htm

There are other reasons why non-profit media choose not to cover certain stories, but we may never know why. Surely the CBC would treat this issue fairly and we would get accurate news from them on the subject? The issue was addressed on the show The Fifth Estate, in an episode called 9/11 Conspiracy Theories, and was broadcast October 29^th, 2003 on CBC Newsworld and hosted by Bob McKeown. I normally enjoy the quality and variety of the fifth estate, but there is one episode that sticks apart from the rest like a sore thumb, and I'll explain why. The two guests that were speaking about government complicity in 9/11 were given 41 and 46 seconds to give their side of the story, while the other four guests received on average 150 seconds, and were all talking about links between Bush and Bin Laden with the context of the official story. The four guests that were talking about Bush-Bin Laden connections were given over three times as much time to tell their story than the two guests discussing government complicity. So the message of government complicity was deliberately suppressed by the uneven amount of time, and the uneven amount of guests.

In addition to this, the show's host narrates a long monologue defending the US government stating explicitly that the fifth estate found no credible evidence for government complicity or foreknowledge. Also he claimed that most conspiracy theories are a waste of time, discouraging the audience to learn more about the subject. The fifth estate made these claims without addressing many major issues about 9/11, such as the impossibility of the collapse of WTC Building 7, the war games taking place that day, the fact that some of alleged hijackers have been found alive, the confiscation of tapes at the Pentagon, and many other facts that are newsworthy and weren't addressed.

Now you see how the news must be managed from the top down. Journalists are told what stories to follow, which to drop. They are hired on a basis of loyalty, obedience, and good looks. The whole news organization is geared around achieving maximum ratings and profit, rather than quality and accuracy. As for the CBC, who knows what their motive is. For more insight into media, watch Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism by Robert Greenwald, or Orwell Rolls In His Grave by Robert Kane Pappas.

The Motives

There is less known about the motives of the people involved, but you and I can bet it has to do with money and power. First, it is known that WTC owner Larry Silverstein purchased the towers about six weeks prior to 9/11, and profited immensely from his insurance policy that specifically covered acts of terrorism. Secondly, the people who made put options on United and American Airlines made millions of dollars, some of which is still unclaimed.

It is also known that in the ultra right-wing organization, The Project for a New American Century is stocked with Neo-Cons that now literally infest the White House. Former members include ‘Scooter’ Libby, Jeb Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, and Dick Cheney. The project’s flagship report, called Rebuilding America’s Defenses was published in 2000. The report advocated vast increases in military spending, including militarization and control of space, and specifically mentioned the capability to wage two simultaneous theatre wars. In chilling words, the report says, “Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor.” Ladies and gentleman, 9/11 was a new Pearl Harbor. We did see huge increases in military spending and the initiation of two simultaneous theatre wars. What the author Wolfowitz knew in 2000 was that Americans wouldn’t tolerate these increases without being attacked. One year later, right on cue, that attack would come, and give Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the Bushes just what they wanted—an obedient and fearful public, demanding revenge against the patsy oil-rich Arabs in Afghanistan and elsewhere.

http://www.newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf

The terrible part is, they probably believed that they were doing good while making hundreds of millions of dollars at the same time. They believed they were changing the world, getting quick results by force, and spreading democracy to these backward nations. The problem is, normal people know that this does not work. It never worked in Vietnam, it never worked in Cuba, and the only time it ever worked was during WWII, when America helped destroy Nazi Germany. It worked then because the Nazis were awful; using propaganda, pushing radical policies, attacking and occupying countries, murdering people en masse. How did the German people allow that to happen?

The Precedents – Other Mass Deceptions

If 9/11 was not a false flag operation, it was an exception to the rule. Most events that trigger wars and other radical policies are deceptions. For example:

The Reichstag fire in 1933 allowed Hitler to pass the Reichstag Fire Decree, which nullified many of the key civil liberties of German citizens in a manner similar to the USA Patriot Act passed in response to the 9/11 attacks. The fire was blamed on a communist named Van der Lubbe, who confessed under torture that he set the flames in response to rising Nazi power. There are other similarities: Hitler created the SS or Schutzstaffeln, which is the plural form of Schutzstaffel, which translates to "Protective Squadrons". The Bush Regime created the Department of Homeland Security. At Nuremberg, General Franz Halder stated in an affidavit that Göring had joked about setting the fire:

“On the occasion of a lunch on the Führer's birthday in 1942, the people around the Führer turned the conversation to the Reichstag building and its artistic value. I heard with my own ears how Göring broke into the conversation and shouted: 'The only one who really knows about the Reichstag building is I, for I set fire to it.' And saying this he slapped his thigh.”

Hitler seized power by creating a false and permanent state of emergency, scaring people into giving him power to pass laws without consent from the Reichstag. Bush is doing the same thing in a more sophisticated manner. 9/11 scared the American people into giving up their rights for security. Bush has declared a permanent state of war, called the Global War on Terror, and continues to expand his power through Presidential signing statements. Signing statements allow the President to interpret the law passed by congress in the way that he sees fit.

“In the early 1960s, America’s top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods; the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba’s then new leader, communist Fidel Castro.” (emphasis added) http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=92662

About weapons of mass destruction and the threat of Saddam Hussein, and the links between Saddam and Osama bin Laden: We all know the lies about these events. No WMDs were found, and no one was fired for saying that there absolutely were.

“Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction.”- Dick Cheney, August 2002. Still he’s the Vice President of the United States. “The liberation of Iraq is a crucial advance in the campaign against terror. We have removed an ally of Al Qaida and cut off a source of terrorist funding.” – George W. Bush, May 2003. Still he’s the President of the United States. They are both lying to convince the American public of the threat of Saddam, and convince them that starting a war between nations is the way to prosecute criminals.

The 9/11 Truth Movement

Calling itself the 9/11 Truth Movement, it is a loosely connected group of people that span every political ideology, race, age, socio-economic status, and country. It spans any division of people and unites them in the demand for an independent and thorough investigation into the attacks of September the 11^th.

For the past year I have been working through my student organization, Queen’s Conspiracy Club, showing films on campus, giving out films, distributing flyers, and hosting discussions.

Just last weekend I attended conference in Chicago titled 9/11: Revealing the Truth, Reclaiming Our Future. In Chicago I committed to forming a networking website for college and university 9/11 truth activists. It will provide a platform for sharing information, strategies, ideas, flyers, resources, photos, and anything else. 9/11 truth groups are being started or have already started in Kingston, Toronto, Chicago, Seattle, New York, Austin Texas, California, and elsewhere.

In Chicago, Webster Tarpley drafted a resolution for the movement issued on 911blogger.com, http://www.911blogger.com/2006/06/911-truth-key-to-stopping-world-war.html that most of the delegates in Chicago would have agreed with, including myself.

Why Participate?

Respect for truth, human rights, reason, decency, the environment, social welfare, and self governance. Can you live with this flagrant disregard for the truth? I know I can’t.

To help end the conflicts in Iraq & Afghanistan and ease the suffering of innocents

Participate to regain the respect of the international community. Even if not for these reasons, consider the vast resources expended in prosecuting wars. Literally trillions of dollars have been squandered in the past decade on weapons designed to cause death.

The current vacuum of citizen representation in the United States will eventually become a threat to Canada’s sovereignty, from within our own government. Harper could similarly use terror to scare the people of Canada to give up their rights in return for security. Please do not give up our hard fought freedoms for the promise of security. Demand the end of the secret police, CSIS spies, The Security of Information Act, and any other legislation that will punish whistleblowers.

In the United States of America, flagrant abuses of privacy and their constitution are taking place on a daily basis. For an example of the tense and racist political situation, read this Fox News article: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,48355,00.html. In it, a Fox news reporter is filming the Virginia state police stopping a traffic violator outside Pentagon property, when the Pentagon Police approached the Fox cameraman, confiscated his tape, handcuffed him, and arrested him for disobeying a police officer. Later he was released without charge. The military invokes 9/11 to justify the abuse of the cameraman’s constitutional rights: “In a Pentagon briefing Wednesday afternoon, spokeswoman Clarke said the incident was typical of the irregular circumstances the country has been thrust into since the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on Sept. 11.” The article continues on to describe the traffic violator: “The man was of Iranian descent and did not speak clear English, said the police official. The man's identification cleared with state and federal agencies and the truck swept for explosives by dogs before police let him go without incident.”

We have to engage Canadians on an unprecedented scale to prevent the same political changes from taking place in Canada. Let’s not have events like this occur in here. Things like this are coming unless something is done to end the fear and divisiveness that the lies of 9/11 have created.

How can this be prevented from happening in Canada?

Make copies of this letter, or write your own, and send it to everyone you know. Talk to everyone you know. In Canada we have a unique opportunity to get the truth out since we have a third political alternative in waiting, something that the US has eliminated as a political possibility. I don’t normally champion the NDP as a political party, but we have a much better chance getting them to endorse 9/11 truth. Write letters to Jack Layton on this issue. His Address: M.P., Leader of the NDP, House of Commons, Ottawa, ON, Canada, K1A 0A6. No postage is needed.

Start a local campaign right now!

Access information on the internet or in books and become educated.

Access networks of people. Find online networks, emails lists, friends, neighbours, local organizations, doctors, dentists, stores, non-profit organizations, co-workers, anybody you know or have contact with! Tell them the truth and undo the spell of this psychological attack.

Make copies of CDs and hand them out / host screenings, make and post signs.

Warning – there is much disinformation on the internet, be careful what you read. There is a systematic and relentless assault on the truth from many places. For example: Snopes.com is spreading disinformation, saying that nothing out of the ordinary happened with put options on American Airlines stock before 9/11. How are the put options an urban legend if CNN reports suspicious activity?

http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/europe/09/24/gen.europe.shortselling/

Any information you find in the mainstream media is also likely disinformation and can be refuted with some effort. For example, take the Popular Mechanics article, 9/11: Debunking the Myths published in March 2005. It is full of straw man arguments and ignores many important questions in the same manner as the CBC Newsworld special 9/11 Conspiracy Theories by The Fifth Estate. Article : http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/defense/1227842.html

The 9/11 truth movement has struggled to get its message out through its own means, and now publishes a magazine in Canada, four issues a year. Subscribe to GlobalOutlook.ca – Canadian 9/11 Truth Magazine. Here are three particularly good websites:

A Note for Skeptics – How did ‘they’ manage to pull it off?

The short answer is no one knows exactly how. There is something important to consider, and that is the burden of proof. The official story tries to prove positive statements, such as “Osama was responsible.” If someone can prove that Osama could not be responsible, that is enough to establish that the government is lying. So long as we know that the official story isn’t true, we are right in demanding a true account of the events from those who appear to be guilty in a thorough, truly independent commission that satisfactorily answers the questions of the Family Steering Committee. If you are still not convinced, do some more research, or prove the official story for a $1,000,000 reward. http://reopen911.org/Contest.htm

Conclusion

9/11 was executed like a coup d’etat in Washington. This time though it wasn’t the leadership that was changed, but the political landscape was poisoned with fear. Any policy that the Bush Regime wanted to pursue could then be justified for security reasons. Today we witness the adoption of policies that take away the security of other peoples across the globe, while at the same time increase the insecurity of Canadians and Americans.

Today Mr. Harper is using 9/11 to justify our continued occupation of Afghanistan. This is a policy based on fear and ignorance. I am asking you to take a political stance on this issue, and support an independent Canadian investigation into 9/11.

There is a broad spectrum of evidence which proves 9/11 was not orchestrated from a cave in Afghanistan. Please urge everyone around you, right now, today, to talk about it, research it, and ask questions about it, so that when Stephen Harper invokes 9/11 to justify some violation of life like he just did, allowing two more years of occupation of Afghanistan, you can say NO! I don’t believe that Afghanistan’s innocent population has to die to appease the United States, or for national security reasons or rhetoric like “we are fighting them there so we aren’t fighting them here”. No more killing in Afghanistan because the evidence points to U.S. government complicity in 9/11!
