Massive Grab Bag of the Week

It is so amazing how much is being said lately about 9/11 each and every week. What is even more amazing is how the mainstream media continues to ignore the 9/11 elephant in the room. When I first started this blog I was worried that covering only new 9/11 related news would be to narrow a scope to be consistent, guess I was wrong.

So, kick back, relax, and catch up on a ton of 9/11 related stuff from this week.

Tucker Carlson, PNAC & 9/11 - Another PNAC 9/11 Connection

Here is a bit more about Tucker Carlson's interview with the physics professor who put forth a paper claiming explosives were used to destroy the WTC on 9/11... just prior to the professor's appearance on Carlson's program, Tucker's guest was someone from the Weekly Standard (this guy was a regular guest).

The Weekly Standard's chief editor is William Kristol, who also happens to be the chairman of the Project for a New American Century, PNAC! This is the quaint little organization that produced people like Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Pearl & at least six other people who were members of the Bush administration on the morning of 9/11. They are also the organization that wrote about the how America having a "new Pearl Harbor" would help them achieve their goal.

Tucker finds nothing disturbing or newsworthy about the PNAC connection to 9/11. As a matter of fact by virtue of the company he keeps, he supports PNAC. Tucker tells anyone who thinks that people within our government would be involved in something like 9/11 that they should leave the country but he cozies up to people who thought a new Pearl Harbor would be a good idea! So this is a little more PNAC related 9/11 news for your records.


The Weekly Standard Attacks 9/11 Truth
Compare this to the article right above this. Kinda funny how The Weekly Standard comes out on the offensive against 9/11 skeptics the same week as Tucker isn't it? After all, the head editor of The Weekly Standard is Bill Kristol, current Chairman and founder of the PNAC.
There is, though, a need to remember what transpired before the war - in fact, soon after the towers fell. And what happened was this declaration, from the mouth of Rep. Cynthia McKinney while the ashes were still smoldering: "We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11. What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11?"

Farfetched as the claim may have seemed - the utterance of a leftist conspiracy wacko - the Georgia congresswoman was the first but would not be the last to accuse President Bush of having purposefully ignored intelligence that predicted the imminent use of hijacked planes as missiles.
Echoed Senator Hillary Clinton soon thereafter - from the Senate floor, no less: "What did Bush know and when did he know it."
..
What you may not remember was that the source of all this hysteria was a single Presidential Daily Briefing, given to the president on August 6, 2001. The report said nothing about hijacked planes being flown into buildings and indeed admitted that "some of the more sensational threat reporting" could not be corroborated. It did, however, refer to bin Laden's stated goals of bringing the fighting to America - claims made by bin Laden himself on national television three years before - as well as the luckily foiled millennium bomber of 1999 and the African embassy bombings a year earlier.


An Incomplete Investigation - 911truth.org
It was interesting to hear from the 9/11 Commission again on Tuesday. This self-perpetuating and privately funded group of lobbyists and lawyers has recently opined on hurricanes, nuclear weapons, the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel and even the New York subway system. Now it offers yet another "report card" on the progress of the FBI and CIA in the war against terrorism, along with its "back-seat" take and some further unsolicited narrative about how things ought to be on the "front lines."

Yet this is also a good time for the country to make some assessments of the 9/11 Commission itself. Recent revelations from the military intelligence operation code-named "Able Danger" have cast light on a missed opportunity that could have potentially prevented 9/11. Specifically, Able Danger concluded in February 2000 that military experts had identified Mohamed Atta by name (and maybe photograph) as an al Qaeda agent operating in the U.S. Subsequently, military officers assigned to Able Danger were prevented from sharing this critical information with FBI agents, even though appointments had been made to do so. Why?

There are other questions that need answers. Was Able Danger intelligence provided to the 9/11 Commission prior to the finalization of its report, and, if so, why was it not explored? In sum, what did the 9/11 commissioners and their staff know about Able Danger and when did they know it?


Believe 9-11 Was an Inside Job? Leave the Country! - Another Day in the Empire
Swanson frozen food heir, Tucker Carlson, host of MSNBC's The Situation with Tucker Carlson, believes you should get out of America if you believe nine eleven was an inside job.
..
Of course, the government or factions therein did not kill 3,000 Americans (and foreigners) "for no reason," as Carlson ignorantly claims - it killed them for very specific reasons, namely as collateral damage in the first battle of World War Four, the Clash of Civilizations (call it the "new Pearl Harbor"). Indeed, it is "evil" and all Americans are "complicit in it" as citizens and taxpayers. If Carlson sincerely believes his government wouldn't do such a thing, he should read up on Operation Northwoods, subtitled "Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Justification for US Military Intervention in Cuba, March 13, 1962," currently archived at the National Security Archive. "Written in response to a request from the Chief of the Cuba Project, Col. Edward Lansdale, the Top Secret memorandum describes U.S. plans to covertly engineer various pretexts [terrorist attacks] that would justify a U.S. invasion of Cuba," the NSA summarizes.


REOPEN911.org & TvNewsLIES.org Working Together
Best wishes Jesse!
TvNewsLIES.org has entered into a cooperative agreement with Reopen911.org. - TvNewsLIES.org will assist Reopen911.org in their efforts to bring the vital questions surrounding the events of 9/11 into the public discourse. Where possible we will lend our advice and assistance as Reopen911.org tries to step in to the roll that the journalists of our nation have vacated. We will assist in any way we can.


What is the Commission's mandate?
The Commission's mandate is to provide a "full and complete accounting" of the attacks of September 11, 2001 and recommendations as to how to prevent such attacks in the future.
..
So... if the 9/11 Commission's mandate was to get a "full and complete accounting" of the attacks of September 11th, 2001, then why were certain things omitted? If certain things were omitted, does that not make the 9/11 Commission's findings null and void?

Here is an excerpt from a show called the "Washington Journal". On this particular show, Lee Hamilton, the co-chair for the 9/11 Commission was on the program discussing the "9/11 Public Discourse Project". This is a supposed "watchdog" group that makes sure the Government is doing everything they can to prevent the next terrorist attack, and to make sure the recommendations put forth by the Commission are implemented.
..

As you can see, when Mr. Hamilton was confronted about Building 7, he stated that, "some things were left out of the report."

By his own admission, the 9/11 Commission did not give a "full and complete accounting" of the attacks on September 11th, 2001.

Therefore, the findings of the 9/11 Commission are NULL & VOID.


Madonna Can't Prove Government Was in on 9/11 'Deal'
"9/11 was too ambiguous," she tells the magazine.

"You couldn't prove how the government was somehow in on the deal. There were too many arguments against it. You could say, 'Oh, that's just Michael Moore,' 'Oh, that's just hearsay.'

So - is Madonna saying that the government was in on 9/11 and if someone with more credibility than Michael Moore tackled the issue, we'd all now see how the US government was in on 'the deal?'

Is this a serious statement? Somehow out of context?


Crooked Cops and 9-11
Well, a passport from one of the alleged hijackers was "found" a couple of blocks from the Twin Towers. And yet the government claims that the areas inside the Twin Towers where planes crashed were infernos so hot that they caused the collapse of the massive steel cores in the center of the towers. Indeed, the passport-owner's hijacked plane was allegedly almost completely lodged in the building's core. How could the passport have survived and ended up a couple of blocks away?

It is thus clear that evidence was planted to frame the hijackers on 9/11. Even a simple tv detective would ask who had the opportunity and motive to frame these patsies. He would also ask whether the persons who planted the evidence were the real culprits.


Thermite and the WTC Collapses
"The temperature at the core of "the pile," is near 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, according to fire officials, who add that the fires are too deep for firefighters to get to. " [ABC News, 9/18/01]
..
In perfect conditions the maximum temperature that can be reached by hydrocarbons such as jet fuel burning in air is 1520° F (825° C). When the WTC buildings collapsed the deeply buried fires would have been deprived of oxygen and their temperatures would have significantly decreased.
..
Why was the temperature at the core of "the pile" nearly 500° F hotter than the maximum burning temperature of jet fuel a full five days after the collapses? There were no infernos in either of the twin towers before they collapsed, so what caused their hot spots?

What caused the steel to melt? How did it stay molten for weeks after the collapses? How did fires in the WTC wreckage manage to burn for more than 3 months?

Thermite provides a plausible answer.

We must support those in the alternative media that support us. Thanks Mike.


Comments sent in via Email:
I believe there should at least be some mention in the main stream media that there are valid questions about the Tower collapses being raised by many people. What Tucker Carlson did was to totally disrespect anyone who does not blindly follow the same government which led us into Iraq with false information. Sounds like an old Iraq government trait to me. I have emailed MSNBC to express my outrage at Tucker's conduct and comments and I ask everyone who agrees with me to do the same. Emailing Carlson himself is like asking Dick Cheney for an honest answer about anything, a waste of time!! If MSNBC gets enough comments, they may at least rein this idiot in a bit.

Dear Mr. Tucker:

I believe that those buildings were collapsed with explosives. I further believe that the United States government caused those explosives to be detonated. I am a U.S. citizen, now living happily in Canada, and I do not want to return to the United States of Vicious, Murdering America.

I did "leave the country."

I just wanted to let you know that your page is most certainly followed overseas as well. Personally, I wouldn´t dream of 'logging on' without checking what´s new on the "911blog".

So: Thank You! And keep up the good work!!
