Leading Conservatives: 9/11 Cover-Up

http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2007/03/911-and-right.html

Is questioning the government's version of what happened on 9/11 a traitorous activity? Is it something cooked up by liberals and the Democrat party to weaken the conservative movement or to undermine the President's ability to lead the country in this dangerous time?

Well, let's see what leading conservatives have to say:

Current Republican Congressman states that "we see the [9/11] investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on"

Former U.S. Republican Congressman and senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, who served six years as the Chairman of the Military Research and Development Subcommittee, has shown that the U.S. tracked hijackers before 9/11, is open to hearing information about explosives in the Twin Towers, and is open to the possibility that 9/11 was an inside job

Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Ronald Reagan said that the official story of 9/11 is "the dog that doesn't hunt" (if you suspect he is a closet liberal, take a look at his bio)

Former high-ranking Reagan official and very influential conservative finds "massive evidence that the 9/11 Commission Report is a hoax"

Former Air Force Colonel and Pentagon official, who was part of the influential Office of Special Plans, and who was at the Pentagon on 9/11 does not believe the official story regarding 9/11 (see also this essay)

In addition, the following high-level military and intelligence personnel have also questioned 9/11 (it is not clear whether or not they are conservatives; but their credentials are impressive):

Retired Lieutenant Colonel who served 21 years in the U.S. Marine Corps, a fighter pilot who flew over 300 combat missions, questions the official version of 9/11 and said "This isn't about party, it isn't about Bush Bashing. It's about our country, our constitution, and our future...Your countrymen have been murdered and the more you delve into it the more it looks as though they were murdered by our government, who used it as an excuse to murder other people thousands of miles away."

Former 20-year Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer, the second-ranking civilian in U.S. Marine Corps Intelligence, and former CIA clandestine services case officer stated that "9/11 was at a minimum allowed to happen as a pretext for war", and it was probably an inside job (see Customer Review dated October 7, 2006)

Former FBI translator, who the Department of Justice's Inspector General and several senators have called extremely credible (free subscription required), said "If they were to do real investigations we would see several significant high level criminal prosecutions in this country. And that is something that they are not going to let out. And, believe me; they will do everything to cover this up". She also is leaning towards the conclusion that 9/11 was an inside job

Former director of the U.S. "Star Wars" space defense program in both Republican and Democratic administrations, who was a senior air force colonel who flew 101 combat missions believes that the military was intentionally disabled on 9/11 in order to allow the attacks to succeed (see also this statement)

High-ranking general and the former chief of NATO (in Danish; hint -- he mentions bombs in the Twin Towers)

Note: You can have liberals read this essay on famous liberals who say there was a 9/11 cover-up.

I DON'T

know if the two-star general is credible. I'm still agnostic about the Pentagon.

How about Radical Priests >

I just got this into the Canadian National Newpaper, but maybe it doesn't count as official
" Radical Priest Decries Damage
to Spirit by Neocons on 9/11"

FYI this newspaper is running about 6 or 7 9/11 stories on the front page.

Remember; Nixon never thought he'd be caught either !

Indeed, I deleted

the General from the blogspot version.

Please state why the general is not credible

Agnosticism is fine, but why do think this officer is not credible?

What he is stating is the obvious, so I have to question your cavalier impugning of his credibility.

The General

was head of an Army unit researching New Age and occult practices:

More generally: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=stubblebine+goats+Pentagon

In addition, I am agnostic about what hit the Pentagon, and people like Mike Rivero have repeatedly stated this is a "honey trap", same as no-planes-at-the-Pentagon and space weapons.

Even David Ray Griffin seems to have taken a more cautious approach about discussing what hit the Pentagon recently.

That's my 2 cents.

That's weird about Stubblebine

Agnosticism is a good thing.

Strange bedfellows

Note, it's the paleo conservatives that question 9/11, the folks who believe in small government, fiscal responsibility and values. Pretty much the opposite of what the neoconservatives want. Strange that they can even remain a single party.

The strangest thing of all I think is that the paleocons and the far left radicals, the two opposite ends of the politcal spectrum, can come together in relative harmony under the 9/11 truth
banner.

It's much less surprising that the centrists; Necons and Neolibs are in bed together, they after all share a common dream... serfdom for all but the few elite overlords at the top.

I agree, Because

Neoliberals Are Neither. And neoconservatives are certainly not conservative.

right!

There are many who are leaving the GOP over this (and many more would, if it weren't for "wasted vote syndrome"). Not enough to shift the balance of power quite yet, but the longer this betrayal of conservatism continues, the fewer dupes remain mesmerized by it. OTOH, a whole new generation of "neocons" is being trained up by the high priests of GOP powermongering, so ultimately I don't know what to predict. I can say that as a paleocon 'pubbie myself, my feelings toward neocons in the GOP are about what you'd feel if you woke up one morning to find your wife had been replaced in bed by a rabid hyena.

One of the things I love

about 9/11 Truth is that it is a truly non-partisan issue that brings together thinking patriots across the full political spectrum.

If we can set aside the contrived and useless left-right paradigm long enough we should be able to bridge the gap between true progressives and real conservatives in order to restore our constitutional republic. Following this second American revolution we can begin an era of wide open political discourse as we rebuild our country from the local level up.

Be well.

The truth shall set us free. Love is the only way forward.

Exactly. First we get rid

Exactly. First we get rid of the vampires, then we can get back to arguing amongst ourselves. :-)

re: Bowman

I forgot to mention that I would not classify Bowman as a conservative. He isn't a strict liberal either; I looked over his positions on the issues during the campaign and IMO he's roughly 2/3 liberal and 1/3 conservative. His position in the "Star Wars" program, though, certainly warrants giving his view some degree of consideration.

I'm holding my breath for...

another conspiracy theorist like "Spotty" Abraham Lincoln to use the truth at the helm of the Republican party once again. More than one would be ok too.
