The Grinch That Stole The Constitution
By Stephen Simac
"He knows when you've been sleeping,
He knows when you're awake. Who the hell are you, John Ashcroft?" John
Ashcroft. Senate testimony.
From a young age we're trained to distrust
the official story, from fishy tales about where babies come from, to tooth
fairies and Easter bunnies. Despite our natural doubts we are assured that
"Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus" and somehow he squeezes down
chimneys. We accept these fables until the lies cannot hold any longer. Usually
after an older child has cruelly disabused us of our quaint notions.
Maybe I'm naturally suspicious because I
grew up in Florida without any chimney.
I'd like to believe the official explanation for 9/11. Yet the story is
so full of holes it would only hold water if logic is constructed with
colanders.
Dead Men Flying
Start with the hijackers-suicidal Saudis
for the most part, we're told. They entered and exited the country freely with
large amounts of cash, even though two were on a suspected terrorists list, the
alleged ringleader had an expired visa and others had outstanding warrants. The
pilots took flying lessons at private schools in several states. Several even
had training at military bases in Pensacola, Florida and Montgomery Alabama.
Despite their expensive schooling and
virtual reality training, their trainers described them as incompetent and
would not certify them for solo flight in a small aircraft. Mohammed Atta and
his partner even stalled a Cessna, walking away from it in the middle of a
runway at Miami International Airport. They definitely were not following the
instructions in their Spy Manual 101 to blend in discreetly.
Neither were the other Florida suspects who left 8 X 10 glossies of
Osama bin Laden in plain view on the back seat of their car, with a Palestinian
flag in the rear window. The fundamentalist Muslim martyrs spent their last
night in a strip bar drinking vodka, and boasting that America was going to be
brought down lower than their lap dancer. A preview of Paradise, perhaps.
The absence of their names from CNN and
other publicly published passenger manifests is a media oversight surely, since
their pictures and names were on the FBI's most wanted dead or alive ads. The airline's actual passenger lists have
been seized by the FBI along with most other recorded information about the
flights.
Of course, at least six of the FBI's first
batch of suspects had airtight alibis. One had been dead for two years, the
others were alive at home in the Middle East. Mohammed Atta's father said he
talked with his son on the phone after 9/11.
What was revealed to the public in
breathless, nonstop stories was disturbing enough about airline security or
insecurity. Muslims walking through metal detectors with ceramic knives and
razor blades in their shoes, or maybe the weapons were stashed under the seats
by the cleaners. Even after security's
allegedly been tightened, ordinary Americans have been wandering onto planes
with guns or Bowie knives.
Failure To Communicate
One hijacker didn't even have luggage, he
left it behind in their rented car along with a Flying JumboJets for Dummies
manual in Arabic. Others paid in cash the day of the flight.
The DEA has trained ticket agents to
be suspicious of these behaviors when
on the lookout for drug dealers, but evidently profiling Muslim terrorists was
not as high a priority before Sept. 11.
Note that the CIA, FBI, the administration
and other "intelligence" agencies were given specific warnings that
terrorists were planning to hijack domestic planes and crash them into symbolic
structures, yet failed to communicate adequate warnings to the FAA and airlines.
The Egyptian president, the Russian
government, Israel, Iranians and other
individuals have all come forward claiming they gave credible warnings to the
highest authorities right up to the week before 9/11. Lower level FBI agents
claim that they knew of plans for hijacking planes to use as bombs and that
higher level administrators either ignored their warnings or actively quashed investigations which
could have stopped them.
No congressional investigations are yet
planned for this stupendous failure of our bloated intelligence agencies,
airline security corporations, immigration policy and the lapse in air defense
of restricted air space over Washington.
With Knowledge And
Aforethought
The anonymous investors who placed several hundred million dollars in short
selling puts on the stocks of the same airline companies and insurance
companies affected by the attacks must have known or called psychic Sally.
Their profits are still unclaimed in the Deutsche bank. (www.copvcia.com) Only one Israeli citizen died
in the twin towers collapse, out of 4,000 feared dead in the first days. At
least two Israelis were warned about the attacks two hours before the crash.
They told their management that they'd gotten a urgent warning through Ondigo,
self proclaimed "World's Greatest Instant Messaging Device." (Haaretz
Daily) Ondigo is funded by the Israeli government, just like the contract
company which conducts all the FBI's wiretaps. Hey, if American intelligence
isn't going to warn Americans, the
Israeli's must have thought at least we'll warn our chosen ones.
Back to the official storyline and the
changing timeline. The hijackers were able to easily overpower passengers,
stewardesses and pilots with boxcutters and plastic sporks, (uncomfirmed
rumor). They immediately shut off identifying transponders which are obscurely
located, but allowed one pilot to make surreptitious contact with air traffic
controllers.
The tapes of those last moments have been
seized by the FBI along with a horde of other evidence which might blow the
story out of the sky like Flight 93.
The official storyline is based on news
reports of partial transcripts and frenzied calls on passenger cell phones.
These stories and a horde of unsourced and undocumented information have formed
our opinions of what happened, including the immediate pinnning the blame on
Osama the Donkey.
Accelerated Learning
The hijackers on the Pentagon bound plane,
who had been bumbling pilot wannabes in training, were suddenly able to pull
jet fighter turns at top speed and hit their target exactly. Flight 175 flew over the restricted airspace of
Washington with no response from nearby military bases and crashed directly
into a recently reinforced section of the Pentagon.
Just as odd as the hijacker's sudden skill was that the reinforcement
worked as planned and came in under cost.
Now, with the replacement, those costs are doubled, more typical of
Pentagon expenditures.
In the aftermath of the attacks even more
incredible stories were broadcast and swallowed by the American public as
quickly as children eating candy. The undamaged asbestos passport of one
hijacker was found a few blocks away from the twin towers, no sign of the
hijacker, not even a turban.
The twin towers themselves collapsed in a perfectly
Controlled Demolition, not even a sideways wobble to take out a few more
blocks. Firefighters and witnesses who escaped the destruction heard other
explosions and witnessed extensive damage on lower floors, but the official
story emerged before the dust had even settled. The collapse was caused because
the jet fuel fireball, fed by loose paper, melted the steel supports of the
floor. So much for the paperless economy.
When it was pointed out on the internet that
the melting point of steel is several hundred degrees centigrade higher than
jet fuel burning, the story changed to structural steel weakening because of
poor maintenance of critical fireproofing. This allowed the famous
pancaking effect, defying a few more
laws of nature. Including that the second tower hit fell first, although it
took a much less direct hit.
The Usual Suspects
Osama the Evil One got all the credit for
plotting this assault. He's escaped American vengeance for now by slithering
out of Tora Bora. Maybe like Saddam Hussein he'll be used as a bogeyman for
years to come. He's on the run leaving behind his video collection. Soon enough
we'll probably find his kinky sex toys and drugs, like Noriega.
His style of management is reportedly hands
off, a post modern Mafia CEO type, so it's theoretically possible he could have
planned it, wound it up, funded the cells minimally and been responsible
without much involvement with the 19 suspects, other than a little training at
his terrorist boot camps.
It's more likely that the terrorists had
some national agency support to pull it off so successfully. Mohammed Atta, the
suspected ringleader reportedly met with an Iraqi agent in Czechoslovakia the
month before. He was an international jetsetter, a frequent flyer domestically.
These terrorists were all first class passengers, even videotaped flight crews,
or sat up front with pilots. They were loaded with cash with no visible means
of support.
Atta was sent $100,000 by the head of the
ISI, Pakistan's intelligence agency last summer. The general resigned the same
week that was revealed by the Indian government, to spend more time with his
family.
An Inside Job
Osama is undoubtedly a CIA funded rogue
rooster coming home. The CIA station chief in Saudi Arabia even visited him in
his hospital suite in July, when Osama was getting a checkup. What did they
chat about?
The CIA, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan's ISI
have funded and armed the mujahideens, Taliban and Al Quaeda at one time or
another. The Bush family has an incestuous history with the Bin Ladens. Will we
find out decades from now that their involvement extended right up to the day
of the attack, before they offered Osama's head up like some Santeria rooster?
Certainly the fascist forces inside our
government have gotten almost everything they've been wanting for the last
twenty years all in one fell swoop.
If there were treasonous agents inside the
administration, the CIA, the NSA, the NRO or one of the other alphabet
intelligence agencies providing support or allowing the attack to go forward
without interference we'll never learn without a real investigation. None are
even in the works. Considering the past history of official investigations in
the US there would still be room for
doubt left.
Interestingly enough the investigation of
the WTC collapse will be handled by the same FEMA expert who mangled the
Oklahoma City bombing investigation. The hauling away of any evidence in the
WTC rubble is contracted out to Controlled Demolitions, the same company which handled the OKC cleanup. They reportedly
destroyed evidence of other bomb residue inside that government building. Since Americans accepted that official
story, the TWA story and Waco, we're likely to accept this fable no matter how
much contrary evidence.
Best Friend Betrayal?
The media has played up the Arab arrests
but virtually ignored the Israeli detainees. The only mentions were snide
comments about middle eastern conspiracy theorists blaming Mossad.
A Washington Times story on Sept. 10 quoted sources
in the Army's School of Advanced Military Studies stating that Israel's Mossad
was capable of pulling off terrorist attacks on US territory, disguised to look
like Muslim assaults in order to gain support for Israel's war on Palestinians.
The School headquarters were in the section that went up in flames the next
day.
At least three Israeli companies moved out
of the WTC before their leases expired in the weeks before the attacks. Dozens of Israeli's have been arrested in
America since 9/11, some with boxcutters, blue prints of nuclear power plants
and the Alaskan pipeline, (Fox News)
Another crew from an Israeli moving company was arrested after being
seen videotaping the burning towers while cheering and dancing.
And there's the smoking gun of the Ondigo
affair. Benyamin Netanyahu, ex-PM of Israel, initially approved of the attacks
as a "Good Thing" for Israel. Israel has a history of attacking
American targets. The lease ownership
of the towers had been sold only months before 9/11 to Abe Silverstein, a real
estate mogul. WTC 5 another building of his a block away from the towers also
collapsed, even though buildings in between were only partially damaged. His insurance was paid up and he stands to
make billions, without the hassle of tenants.
This is only a partial tally of the flaws
in the official 9/11 story, undoubtedly there remain many other anomalies yet
uncovered. The media has pasted over the sieve-like tale and never looked back
as they cover the unfolding developments in Afghanistan and further plans to
battle terrorists around the globe.
(Notes on sources: The official storyline
was taken mainly from the NY Times, the Boston Globe and other dailies. A quick search on Google.com will provide
you with your choice of mainstream and alternative sites to confirm details. If
only one outlet reported it, or was the primary source then I've cited them.

entertaining and equally plausible as the official story.
