Strauss and the Neocon Lust for Terror
http://georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2008/05/strauss-and-neocon-lust-for-terror.html
Leo Strauss is the father of the NeoConservative movement, including many leaders of the current administration. Indeed, some of the main neocon players were students of Strauss at the University of Chicago, where he taught for many years. Strauss, born in Germany, was an admirer of Nazi philosophers and of Machiavelli.
Strauss believed that a stable political order required an external threat and that if an external threat did not exist, one should be manufactured. Specifically, Strauss thought that:

Four headlines this week make it clear that America may be the world's largest sponsor of terrorism:
Programs Which the Government Claims Are Aimed At Foreign Enemies are being Used Against American Citizens within the U.S.

The U.S. government has repeatedly claimed that it was launching aggressive programs solely at foreign enemies, and then launched them at American citizens. For example:
Government ITSELF Won't Swear To Official Theory of 9/11
http://georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2008/05/government-itself-cant-swear-by.html
While many people question the government's conclusions about 9/11, rest assured that the government agencies tasked with investigating 9/11 are confident that the government's answer to the following questions is correct:
(1) How could a rag-tag bunch of hijackers penetrate the strongest military in history and disable normal defensive procedures?
(2) How could 3 super-strong, over-engineered buildings become the first modern steel-frame high-rises in history to collapse due to fire, falling at virtually free-fall speed, and exhibiting many indications normally associated with controlled demolition?
At least the government itself is confident about the answers to these questions, right?
Well, actually:
High-Level Officials Warn of Fake Terror
http://georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2008/04/high-level-officials-warns-of-fake.html
A variety of current and former high-level officials have recently warned that the Bush administration is attempting to instill a dictatorship in America, and will itself carry out a fake terrorist attack in order to obtain one.
Background
Molten STEEL Flowed Under Ground Zero for Months After 9/11
http://georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2008/04/molten-steel-flowed-under-ground-zero.html
In response to the numerous reports of molten metal under ground zero, defenders of the official version of 9/11 have tried to argue that it was not steel, but some other kind of metal with a lower melting point.
Well, here are what top experts who eyewitnessed the molten metal say:
Bush, Cheney, Ashcroft, Powell, Tenet, Rice, and Yoo Have All Committed War Crimes Punishable by Death
http://georgewashington2.blogspot.com/2008/04/bush-cheney-ashcroft-powell-tenet-rice.html
Anyone who violates the Geneva Convention by engaging in murder, torture, or inhuman treatment is guilty of a crime under U.S. law.
Specifically, the War Crimes Act of 1996, a federal statute set forth at 18 U.S.C. § 2441, makes it a federal crime for any U.S. national, whether military or civilian, to violate the Geneva Convention
The statute applies not only to those who carry out the acts, but also to those who ORDER IT, know about it, or fail to take steps to stop it. The statute applies to everyone, no matter how high and mighty.
Dick Cheney: Key Player in a COG America?
Shortly after President Bush boarded Air Force One on 9/11, he spoke with Vice President Dick Cheney for approximately ten minutes (pp.335-6). According to the 9/11 Commission, Cheney called Bush from the underground tunnel leading to the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC) below the White House. (pp. 39-40). Cheney later recalls making “one phone call [to the president] from the tunnel. And basically I called to let him know that we [at the White House] were a target and I strongly urged him not to return to Washington right away, that he delay his return until we could find out what the hell was going on.” Cheney later recalls, “What I was immediately thinking about was sort of continuity of government” (pp. 335-336).
14 Structural Engineers Now Publicly Challenge Government's Explanation for Destruction of the World Trade Center
http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2008/04/14-structural-engineers-have-now.html
14 structural engineers now publicly challenge the government's account of the destruction of the Trade Centers on 9/11:
A prominent engineer with 55 years experience, in charge of the design of hundreds of major building projects including high rise offices, former member of the California Seismic Safety Commission and former member of the National Institute of Sciences Building Safety Council (Marx Ayres) believes that the World Trade Centers were brought down by controlled demolition (see also this)
Air Traffic Controllers DO Track Planes Even with Transponders Off
http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2008/03/air-traffic-controllers-do-track-planes.html
Before 9/11, no transponder had ever become inactive, and so the military and FAA didn't have any experience on how to track planes with their transponders off. Right?
Well, a Miami-Herald article from September 14, 2001, states:
The transponder [on Flight 77] went off about 9 a.m., the company said.
At that moment, the flight would have been under the control of the Indianapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center, one of 20 regional centers that track flights between airports.
The trouble should have been instantly noticeable, traffic controllers say.
Confirmed: 9/11 Planes Were Tracked even With Transponders Turned Off
http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2008/03/confirmed-911-planes-were-tracked-even.html
One of the most important parts of the official story is that the government couldn't track the location of the hijacked planes because the hijackers had turned the transponders off. The official version is that, with transponders turned off, only "primary radar" was available to civilian air traffic controllers. Primary radar can track location, but not altitude.
This makes no sense, because America's air defenses need to protect our nation against foreign fighter jets and other airplanes invading our country. Is our trillion-dollar defense system set up so that a Russian or Chinese pilot can invade undetected if he just turns off his transponder? Darn! Why didn't we think of that?!
Primary radar is a red herring.
Why?
Because the military possesses incredible sensitive radar. For example, "military radar can track space debris as small as 10 centimetres across" miles up in space.
AWACS Should Have Tracked Planes
Did the Government ENTRAP the 9/11 Hijackers?
http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2008/03/did-us-and-allied-intelligence-agents.html
We've all seen it on television. The defense attorney argues his client was "entrapped". That is, that it wasn't the defendant's idea to commit the crime, but that the police planted the idea and urged him to do it.
Many of us have heard allegations that post-9/11 arrests of suspected Al Qaeda members were based on very thin information. Did you realize that all or virtually all of these arrests occurred due to entrapment? For example:
U.S. and Allied Intelligence Services Had Penetrated The Very HIGHEST LEVELS of Al Qaeda Prior to 9/11
http://georgewashington.blogspot.com/2008/03/us-and-allied-intelligence-services-had.html
No one could have anticipated 9/11, right? While the U.S. knew about Al Qaeda, the 9/11 plotters and hijackers were still somewhat unknown and unpredictable prior to 9/11. Right?
In fact, U.S. and allied intelligence services had penetrated the highest levels of Al Qaeda prior to 9/11. For example:

Our Friends Are Trying To Tell Us Something

If I've got something stuck between my teeth, I rely on my best friends to tell me, so I can fix it.
Well, leaders from our close allies in England, France, Germany, Canada, Japan, Russia and elsewhere have been trying to tell us something, but we haven't heard them. Please read what these close allies are trying to tell us about 9/11:
The former Assistant German Defense Minister and a current member of British Parliament (Andreas von Bülow and Michael Meacher)
The former Canadian Minister of Defense (Paul Hellyer)
The commander-in-chief of the Russian Navy (Anatoli Kornukov)
The former chief of staff of the Russian armed forces (General Leonid Ivashov )
