i used to read CommonDreams.org all the time before i knew about things like 9/11. this is surprising. does anybody know who this Richard W. Behan guy is?

....I'm glad somebody else saw it also...I think it's an excellent summation of the last 6 years....really puts 9/11 in context with all that's happened before and since.....

Definitely think this would be a great article for all those that can't quite make themselves believe in US government complicity in 9/11.

This goes a long way toward explaining Motive for US involvement and making it believable to people new or resistent to 9/11 Truth.

The author gives a "this is speculation" disclaimer, but this article is loaded with facts that give meaning to each other.

Rhandi Rhodes was reading this entire article on Air America. She gave it mega kudos and I felt proud of her and the author of this article.

---From a decon @ my church: "I want to tell you something very serious..very serious, but I don't want you to say 'I told you so'. I want you to forgive me..You were right. I know the truth about 9/11.

to a soft landing. I'm almost tempted to not bring up the fact that the writer of this article mentions Israel only once, and I quote

"As not a few disinterested observers noted at the time, international criminal terrorism is best countered by international police action, which Israel and other nations have proven many times over to be effective."

Hmmm. OK. So, what's the number for the International Police Department? I want to report 5 dancing Israelis at the scene of the 9/11 crimes.

What about Larry Silverstein? Will the international police arrest HIM for us? I notice his name is also conspicuous by its absence in this article.

So the question is back to what do we make of a normally left-gatekeeping site that suddenly seems more open to discussing 9/11 than ever before? Well, let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Let's pass this one around to every Cindy Sheehan and Amy Goodman fan we know. Also, let's see what Gnome thinks of it.

But let's not force open one gate and become complacent. This is par for the gatekeeping course. Let's keep up the pressure for an indictment of Larry Silverstein for fraud, arson, murder, and racketeering, and for an investigation into the extent and nature of Israeli involvement in 9/11 in the context of their vast campaign of espionage against America.

Was 9/11 simply a crime? Or was it a covert act of war as well? Were our traitors working alone? Or did they have help?

Ask questions. Demand answers. And hold accountable everyone involved.

I his article in Counterpuhc last month, he said:

The attacks on the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon in September of 2001 provided the Bush Administration, either by design (the conspiracy theories) or default (the reality ), with the rationales for both invasions. But the planning for each of them was underway long before the 9/11: months in the case of Afghanistan, years in the case of Iraq.

This deception--this crime--is so outlandish and monstrous as to be scarcely credible. That is why, very likely, it isn't front-and-center in public consciousness.

http://www.counterpunch.org/behan11012006.html

He's got a point - there's evidence that invasion of Afghanistan was already planned, and tying this with no capture of UBL would show a lie.

Behan mentions physical evidence - good.

(Conspiracy is forever easier to see than to find, but that does not obviate the need to seek thoroughly the whole truth about 9/11, and that has yet to be done.)

Involving the Bush Administration in the execution of 9/11, or even accommodating their informed inaction, is almost too appalling to contemplate. But if they needed a reason to proceed with their planned invasions, they could not have been handed a more fortuitous and spectacular excuse.

1. "Almost" too appaling to contemplate.

2. Need real investigation.

3. Seems to fortuitous and spectacular to be true.

WTC 7 gets a mention in the M$M.

The new center features a command desk where police, fire and other operations are monitored and coordinated, a 15-foot video wall, and work stations that would enable city, state and federal officials to work together during a crisis. It also has backup generators and enough food and water to last several days.

Hours after the Trade Center towers fell, a nearby 47-story building that was hit by flaming debris also collapsed, destroying the emergency command center that was commonly referred to as "the bunker" even though it was on the 23rd floor.

Another lie..Bushie is addicted to criminal activity..We are not addicted to oil...(We don't have any mass marketed alternative fuels out there) We want the truth..We are sick and tired of being lied to..and having the pack of lying,debunking attempts bullshit put forth by the complicit MSM into our living rooms every day and spewed forth by the likes of Sean Hannity, Bill O' Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, and so on, while most Left Gatekeepers continue to bury their sorry ass heads in the sand.
The Democrats got a majority in the most significant branch of the government by the way of people who want the truth, and now they are pulling back? That in itself indicates who they are listening to.
There has to be a way for this movement to be heard in the MSM...Congress is getting snowballed by LOTS of letters I have sent...They had been answering...but not recently.
By the way, LEH, Good article!

the article never said a thing about the Iran-Contra affair when it mentioned our original support of Saddam. The duplicitous nature of our involvement in both sides of that war is a telltale mainstream reminder of what our country's republican leadership has been involved with in the recent past. Linking current Bush administration officials to indicted and convicted felons from a known conspiracy would seem like an easy way to show that these guys are not only capable of condoning operations like 9/11, but that many of them have been directly involved with basically treasonous operations conducted in much the same manner within the recent past. I just think that a little mention of Iran-Contra every now and then is a good way to expose the known shadowy criminal backgrounds most of those guys have.

I thought this was a very good article. But a few red lights went on when reading this because I think like a conservative. Nevertheless, I can see where it might be something that could begin to “educate” some left wing gatekeepers. I particularly liked the article because it gave good clear documented facts in good chronological order and perspective.

1.
“Since World War II and the birth of the United Nations, however, the world has been seeking to surpass imperialism, struggling to settle international difficulties peaceably—and here was an open, sad, and radical rebuff.”

Dachsie says --The United Nations is the enforcer of the one world death and slavery system. It was created by billionaire globalists, many of whom were practicing Communists. The United Nations has nothing to do with stopping mperialism. It is imperialism with a capital I, wanting the whole world as its empire. The United Nations is a chocolate coated excrement sandwich. Take a look at the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights – Number 29. You have whatever freedoms the rulers say you have.

“Dozens of oil companies around the world—the “foreign suitors,” for example—can supply us with Iraqi oil or Caspian Basin gas, and would be pleased to do so. There is no reason not to rely on them: we are buying more and more Toyotas and Volvos, and fewer Chevrolets and Fords, with no apparent damage to our national security. Why not do the same with gasoline, diesel, and LNG, and avoid armed conflict?”

Dachsie says --- “no apparent damage to our national security” ? ! Our company owners have set up and sold out Americans to their internationalist dream of a one world government and a one world religion. They have gradually destroyed America from within. They are disappearing the American middle class and turning us into a third world hell hole. They are deliberately fomenting chaos, especially between those who believe our borders and immigration laws should be honestly and fully enforced and crooked American employers of illegals ought to be imprisoned for long periods of time and pay huge fines and damages.

3.
“The PNAC once more advocated pre-emptive war, i.e., premeditated war, something unprecedented in the U.S. history, but it realized what a radical departure that would represent. Moving to such a mindset would be long and difficult, in the absence of “some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor.”

Dachsie says – What “radical departure” ?! What “moving to such a mindset” ?!

Our “leaders” have been setting us up in to contrived wars via false flag events since at least the Spanish American war. I do not see a radical difference between their Zelikow-created “pre-emptive” Satanic wars philosophy and our deliberately provoked events to get us in to wars on false pretexts. Pre-emptive philosophy involves just as many big lies and even false flags attacks as does our traditional false flag terrorism policy.

4.
Forget about human life. Forget about national sovereignty. (In fact, this article even implies all nationalism is the bad kind of 1930s NAZI Germans, rather than the nationalism of true American Patriots who value national sovereignty and the U.S. Constitution.

The rulers of this world and the USA have a centuries old dream of a one world death and slavery system. This is what I call the brotherhood of darkness. Isn't Satan brilliant?
