9/11 official story doubts becoming more mainstream
شک کردن به داستان رسمی-دولتی از واقعه برجهای دو قلوی نیویورک دارد بیشتر عمومیت می یابد
More and more people from all walks of life and all professions seem to be
questioning the “official” narrative of what happened on 9/11. Those who are questioning the events of
9/11 may be moving under the radar of the corporate media from being labeled “conspiracy theorists”
to legitimate investigators with legitimate questions and concerns.
A good example is Jesse Ventura’s recent
appearance on CNN’s Piers Morgan. Ventura, an ex-navy SEAL and former
governor of Minnesota who hosts a program on TruTV called “Conspiracy Theory,”
appeared on Morgan’s show last week. After discussing 9/11, Morgan tried to
dismiss Ventura and said he has “crackpot” ideas. Ventura then asked the
audience, “How many people think I make crackpot points?” Only one audience
member acknowledged. He then asked, “How many people think I make sensible
points?” Almost the entire audience applauded him. See
video here. That segment can be found at 32:10.
Another good example is Colorado PBS’s airing of a documentary film that was
created by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 truth. It is the first time
a major news network has aired anything like it. The documentary, entitled “9/11:
Explosive Evidence – Experts Speak Out,” features dozens of architects and
engineers who unequivocally state that the twin towers, and WTC 7 which was not
hit by a plane, were brought down by controlled demolition. (You can watch the
full-length film in the video to the left for a limited time before it is only
available for purchase on DVD).
If the official story that fires brought the buildings down is to be
believed, then 9/11 was an architectural and engineering disaster that should
have led to an urgent and exhaustive inquiry, along with suggestions for
improvements and upgrades for other buildings of the same construction.
The film has a section near the end in which psychologists explain why the
media and many of the public are so reluctant to question the official story.
The reasons come down to trauma, belief in authority and cognitive dissonance.
People simply do not want to believe anything that contradicts their “world
view” and their faith in the authorities that provide their security. Confronted
with contradictory evidence, people resort to denial as a defense mechanism.
According to Victoria Alexander, writing for Digital Journal,
three days before the 11th anniversary of the World Trade Center tragedy, the
documentary ranked number three among "most watched" documentaries on PBS and
number one among "most shared." “With the presidential election only weeks away,
both the Republicans and Democrats, as equally staunch defenders of the official
story, stand to be affected if the public's suspicion of government corruption
grows deeper.”
Questions regarding the events of 9/11 and studies are nothing new. They have
been taking place for years. For years the internet has been full of information
like this, a collection of hundreds of links questioning the
official story of 9/11. Several versions of a documentary entitled “Loose Change” were released between 2005 and 2009
and generated over 50 million hits on the internet.
In August of 2004, a Zogby poll revealed that half of New Yorkers
believe U.S. leaders had foreknowledge of impending 9/11 attacks and
“consciously failed” to act. 66 percent at the time called for a new probe of
unanswered questions by Congress or New York’s Attorney General. That poll was
ignored by mainstream media.
In 2006 The Washington Post reported that even
members of 9/11 commission suspected deception on the part of authorities. "We
to this day don't know why NORAD [the North American Aerospace Defense Command]
told us what they told us," said Thomas H. Kean, the former New Jersey
Republican governor who led the commission. "It was just so far from the
truth....It's one of those loose ends that never got tied."
In 2009 a research paper was published by several scientists in The Open Chemical Physics Journal in which
traces of nanothermite, a military-grade explosive used to cut steel, were found
in four separate samples of dust from the World Trade Center site that were
analyzed by scientists.
The conclusion:
Based on these observations, we conclude that the red layer of the red/gray chips we have discovered in the WTC dust is active, unreacted thermitic material, incorporating nanotechnology, and is a highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material.
That study, however, never made it out of academic circles and into the
mainstream media. In a true criminal investigation, the findings in that report
could be considered real forensic evidence that more than jet fuel caused the
collapse of the buildings on 9/11.
Another fact that has never been publicized in mainstream media is the amount
of credible people that question the events of 9/11. The corporate media
publicizes questions by people such as Rosie O’Donnell and Charlie Sheen, but
ignore the people listed on Patriots Question 9/11, which include over 3000
professionals from the military, government, academia, engineering, aviation,
architecture, etc., that question the official story. A quick browse of the list
reveals that these are not a bunch of “crackpots,” but are professionals who
have the knowledge and skills in their fields to ask legitimate questions about
what really happened on 9/11.
One key distinction between the 9/11 truth movement and conspiracy theorists,
however, is that the 9/11 truth movement and many of the victim’s families have
simply been calling for a new investigation, not making allegations as to whom
are really behind the attacks. Some, however, do go further than that.
Dr. Kevin Barrett, a Ph.D. expert on Arabic and Islam cultures, is one of
America's best-known critics of the war on terror. Barrett, writing for Press TV, quotes Alan
Sabrosky, former Director of Strategic Studies at the U.S. Army War College:
I have had long conversations over the past two weeks with contacts at the Army War College, at the Headquarters Marine Corps, and I have made it absolutely clear in both cases that it is 100 percent certain that 9/11 was a Mossad operation. Period.
Dr. Barrett has appeared many times on Fox, CNN, PBS and other broadcast
outlets. He has inspired feature stories and op-eds in the New York
Times, The Christian Science Monitor, the Chicago
Tribune, and other leading publications. In addition to teaching at
colleges and universities in San Francisco and Paris, Dr. Barrett also taught at
U.W. – Madison and ran for Congress in 2008.
Yet another voice bringing the unanswered questions of 9/11 to the attention
of the mainstream may turn out to come from Italy. Judge Ferdinando Imposimato,
the honorary president of the Italian Supreme Court, has written to the Journal of 9/11 Studies announcing
his intention to bring a case before the International Criminal Court citing key
figures in the U.S. administration for involvement in the execution of the 9/11
attacks.
Imposimato writes:
The 9/11 attacks were a global state terror operation permitted by the administration of the USA, which had foreknowledge of the operation yet remained intentionally unresponsive in order to make war against Afghanistan and Iraq. To put it briefly, the 9/11 events were an instance of the strategy of tension enacted by political and economic powers in the USA to seek advantages for the oil and arms industries.
Whether or not anything comes of Imposimato’s law suit, the work of the
architects and engineers, or anyone else who demands a new investigation into
the horrific events of 9/11, one thing is clear. With a slow but steady drip of
information coming from the many 9/11 researchers and grass roots movements,
more people than ever are questioning the events of 9/11. And by implication,
they are questioning the honesty of U.S. government officials who are engaging
in costly wars
and passing legislation that erodes the U.S. constitution in
order to “protect” Americans from terrorism.
If most Americans come to believe that the terrorists responsible for the
events of 9/11 are the same people that run huge corporations, banks, the U.S.
government’s and Israel’s intelligence agencies, then that could change the
dynamics of the political scene for years to come.
I simply encourage readers to watch the documentary that was broadcast on
PBS, do their own research and draw their own conclusions.
