The 9/11 Attacks

We were told it was because “they hate our freedoms.” It was a lie. The truth is that they hated the US government’s harmful interference into their countries, including US support for Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians.

We were told the government had no advance warning of an attack by Osama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda organization. It was a lie. They had intelligence warnings. The system was “blinking red” in the months prior. The CIA tracked two of the alleged hijackers into the US despite them being known Al Qaeda operatives. They resided in the rental home of an FBI informant. Just a month before the attacks, President Bush received his daily brief with the title “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US.”

We were told nobody had suspected the World Trade Center towers would be a target. It was a lie. The towers had already been attacked with a bombing plot in 1993 that the FBI had foreknowledge of through an informant working with the Al Qaeda-linked plotters. The intelligence community widely felt the towers would be a prime target for another terrorist attack.

We were told nobody ever imagined the attack would come in the form of terrorists hijacking planes and flying them into buildings. It was a lie. Military intelligence exercise planners had conceived of that very scenario.

We were told that the attacks succeeded because of the US military and intelligence establishment’s failure in “connecting the dots.” But this “failure” occurred in the context of an administration filled with ideologues who had been writing about the need for an outside attack, something like “a new Pearl Harbor,” to serve as a pretext for advancing their foreign policy agenda, which included overthrowing the governments of Iraq, Syria, and other Middle Eastern countries whose interests were contrary to the geopolitical aims of the US and Israel.

We were told that alleged lead hijacker Mohammed Atta was funded by the head of Pakistan’s intelligence service. Then we learned that this official was in Washington, DC on the morning of 9/11, having lunch with the two Congresspersons who would later lead the Congressional joint inquiry into the attacks. That inquiry led to a 9/11 Commission Report that never investigated this link and instead declared that the question of who funded the hijackers was “of little practical significance.”

We were told office fires on the 12th floor in the northeastern corner of World Trade Center Building 7, which was not hit by a plane, caused thermal expansion of a beam that pushed a column-connected girder off its seat, resulting in a loss of lateral support for the column that led to it buckling, with a widening pattern of floor and column buckling that led to the building’s sudden free-fall collapse. It was a lie. NIST’s final report into the WTC 7 collapse is demonstrable scientific fraud. The laws of physics tell us that the admitted free-fall acceleration of the building means that all the building’s potential energy was converted to kinetic energy, which means there was no energy available to do the work of buckling columns.

Following is a collection of articles I’ve written about 9/11, each attempting to uncover the truth about the attacks and their aftermath.
