The Importance of September 11, 2011

By 'Consensus911, the 9/11 Best Evidence Panel'

“September 11, 2001 seems destined to be the watershed event of our lives and the greatest test for our democracy in our lifetimes. The evidence of government complicity in the lead-up to the events, the failure to respond during the event, and the astounding lack of any meaningful investigation afterwords, as well as the ignoring of evidence turned up by others that renders the official explanation impossible, may signal the end of the American experiment. It has been used to justify all manner of measures to legalize repression at home and as a pretext for behaving as an aggressive empire abroad. Until we demand an independent, honest, and thorough investigation and accountability for those whose action and inaction led to those events and the cover-up, our republic and our Constitution remain in the gravest danger.” More

Bob Graham calls for new 9/11 investigation

Via: Rawstory.com

Former Democratic Senator Bob Graham on Monday called on the U.S. government to reopen its investigation into 9/11 after a report found that links between Saudi Arabia and the hijackers were never disclosed by the FBI to the 2002 joint Congressional intelligence committee investigating the attacks.

“In the final report of the congressional inquiry, there was a chapter related primarily to the Saudi role in 9/11 that was totally censored, every word of the chapter has been withheld from the public,” Graham said on MSNBC’s The Dylan Ratigan Show.

“Some of the other questions we ought to be asking are if we know that the Saudis who lived in San Diego and now apparently in Sarasota received substantial assistance, what about the Saudis who lived in Phoenix, Arizona? Or Arlington, Virginia? … What was happening in those places?”

“I believe these are questions for which there are definitive answers, but the American people and largely their elected representatives have been denied that information.”

Group lobbies legislatures to investigate 9/11 truth

Members of the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth held a rally yesterday outside the Middlesex County Courthouse on 56 Paterson Street to ask the prosecutor's office to investigate the collapse of the World Trade Center, which the organization believes was caused by bombs inside the towers.

The organization handed out literature to pedestrians on the street that contained statements from engineers and architects who believe nano-thermite explosives caused the collapse of the Twin Towers and Building 7, said David Meiswinkle, state coordinator for Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth.

Paul Simon protests USA's "sound of silence" on 9/11 truth

Via : truthjihad.blogspot.com

Paul Simon had been told to play "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" at the Ground Zero tenth anniversary event. Without telling anybody what was coming, he played a 9/11 truth protest song instead. The "people talking without listening" didn't get it. The awakened people did. This is one of the most profound moments of musical protest ever recorded.

New Documents Detail America's Strategic Response to 9/11

In October 2001 the U.S. sent a private message to Taliban leader Mullah Omar warning that "every pillar of the Taliban regime will be destroyed," according to previously secret U.S. documents posted today by the National Security Archive at www.nsarchive.org. The document collection includes high-level strategic planning memos that shed light on the U.S. response to the attacks and the Bush administration's reluctance to become involved in post-Taliban reconstruction in Afghanistan. As an October 2001 National Security Council strategy paper noted, "The U.S. should not commit to any post-Taliban military involvement since the U.S. will be heavily engaged in the anti-terrorism effort worldwide."

The New Legal Landscape for Civil Liberties after 9/11

Via : http://www.juancole.com/

Here is a video courtesy of WDET of a recent American Civil Liberties Union event at Wayne State University, wherein I talk about the ways in which academic work has become more difficult since September 11. I also talk about our Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for any documents they are holding in their files on me, given the revelation in the New York Times in June that the Bush White House asked high officials at the CIA to dig up dirt on me so as to destroy my reputation. The other panelists are ACLU national security attorney Zachary Katznelson and ACLU attorney Noel Saleh. The moderator is WDET reporter Nicole Christian.

“Half-Arab, half-Jewish housewife” terrorized on 9/11 for Flying While Dark-Skinned

Shock and Awe: Racially profiled and cuffed in Detroit.

Shoshana Hebshi, who describes herself as a "half-Arab, half-Jewish housewife," was aggressively cuffed and detained from Frontier Airlines Flight 623, then strip-searched, for the apparent crime of being ambiguously "ethnic"—and being seated next to two Indian guys she didn't know who got up to use the toilet.

On Sunday, 9/11/2011, Hebshi was held and questioned in a Detroit cell for several hours. A fellow passenger on her flight had told a flight attendant that she and her dark-skinned seatmates (all of whom were strangers to one another) were "suspicious." One can only presume they were racially profiled.

What makes Hebshi's tale even more bizarre: she tweeted the ordeal as it unfolded, at first not realizing that she was the suspicious person the "[c]ops in uniform and plainclothes" were after. Snip from her account:[...] You really need to read her entire account from start to finish: Some real Shock and Awe: Racially profiled and cuffed in Detroit. More

Fuck 9/11! Get Over It Already!

Is America really the home of the brave? Or is it the home of cowardly little bitches who can't get over something that happened a decade ago? Anyone who has paid attention to our political system or our media over the last 10 year knows the answer to this. The American people have allowed the terrorists to win. No doubt about it. At some point, the nation has to stand up to the fear mongering, and say enough is enough already.




U.S. Commemorates 9/11 By Toasting Stable Afghan Government From
Top Of Freedom Tower:

Is this The Meaning of the 9/11 Memorial Service in New York?

The ceremony has been a ritual for the last decade, however something quite remarkable stood out to me during the memorial - the President's selection of Bible scripture.

He read from Psalms 46, a chapter that has been given the title "God is our Refuge and Strength" during its official and prescribed renditions, according to the Christian faith.

The verses for this chapter are as follows:

1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the Earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; 3 though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. 4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High. 5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. 6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. 7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. 8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the Earth. 9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. 10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 11 The LORD of hosts is with us.

9/11: Unanswered Questions

President Bush's chief counter-terrorism adviser Richard Clarke has revealed that the CIA under George Tenet attempted to recruit some of the 9/11 "Al Qaeda" terrorists prior to the attack of September 11, 2001, but that after the attempt failed, Tenet and his senior CIA staff covered up the botched recruitment effort.

The revelation is yet one more nail in the coffin of what has become the most discredited U.S. government report since the infamous Warren Report on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. In fact, the Warren Report received another blow after it was revealed that First Lady Jacqueline revealed in 1964 to historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. that she believed that Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson was behind the assassination of her husband in Dallas. More


Was President Bush Complicit in 9/11?

Was President George W. Bush complicit in the 9/11 attacks? That's a question that will not go away on this 10th anniversary of those terrible events.

If many people continue to wonder about it, perhaps it's because the Bush regime did not call for a prompt investigation into 9/11 and subsequently obstructed its work. There is a fresh report that some information turned up by the FBI in Florida was held back on direct orders from Mr. Bush.

9/11: The Luckiest Man Alive!

Stunning new video about Lucky Larry Silverstein on Sept.11

This video provides a chronology of World Trade Center owner, Larry Silverstein's day on September 11th, 2001. The only question that remains unanswered about Larry's day, is why he was so lucky. Firstly, he managed to avoid being killed in the attacks due to a fortunate appointment with a dermatologist. The events of 9/11 also provided an easy solution to the costly and cumbersome problem of how to deal with the illegal asbestos that covered every steel beam in the twin towers. 9/11 also solved Silverstein's problem of finding new tenants to occupy the trade center buildings. And on top of that, Silverstein gained a multi-billion dollar payout from an insurance policy he took out just 6 weeks before 9/11. Considering all of these fortunate coincidences, it is strange that Silverstein has not even been questioned by the police.

AFTER 9/11: TEN YEARS OF WAR

A special production by James Corbett for GlobalResearchTV

The Centre for Research on Globalization in collaboration with Canadians for 9/11 Truth present a Commemorative Public Conference:

AFTER 9/11: TEN YEARS OF WAR

Thursday, September 8, 2011, Montreal, Canada

The tragic events of September 11, 2001, which claimed many lives in the United States, have since given rise to an era of endless US/NATO-sponsored wars accompanied by economic chaos, rising poverty and financial manipulation. We have seen a marked shift towards authoritarianism, the criminalization of justice and the development of a police state. At this special 10 year commemorative event, we invite the public to an evening exploring the truth behind 9/11 and its implications for the future of society.

Speakers:

Cynthia McKinney will be speaking on "9/11 Truth: The War at Home and Abroad". She is a former Member of the US Congress and the Green Party Candidate in the US presidential elections. She has recently returned from a fact-finding mission to Libya.

Wayne Madsen will be speaking on "Media Manipulation and the Fear of Terrorism". He is a Washington, DC-based investigative journalist, bestselling author and syndicated columnist. He has over 20 years' experience in security issues.

Michel Chossudovsky will be speaking on "9/11 and the "Global War on Terrorism" (GWOT)". He is an award-winning author, Professor of Economics (Emeritus) at the University of Ottawa and Director of the Centre for Research on Globalization.

Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya will be speaking on "Today's 9/11 War Machine: Report from the Middle East War Theatre". He has been reporting during the last two months from Tripoli. He is a Research Associate of the Centre for Research on Globalization.

The event will be launched with the Première Screening of Global Research's short documentary film: "Remembering the Tragic Events of September 11, 2001", produced and directed by James Corbett.

9/11 Paved the Way for America's Permanent Wars of Aggression

Whether 9/11 was an inside job or an amazing terrorist success, the fact is that either way the atrocity is intimately linked with US state terrorism.

The attacks on the Twin Towers in 2001 were a seminal event that paved the way for permanent wars of aggression by the US and its puppet allies – wars that have made a travesty of international law, taking state criminality to new heights and resulting in mass murder of innocents. That is state terrorism, by any definition, that is out of control, which no alleged original crime can justify.

In the unlikely second scenario where a bunch of incompetent Al Qaeda pilots managed to pull off an amazing feat of flying maneuvers than even seasoned professionals could not (see for example www.pilotsfor9/11truth.org), the fact is that the alleged jihadi plotters were the product of US state terrorism.

Why were the Jews so frightened on 9/11?

The ADL was flooded with calls sent a letter to the station which said in part:

"Since September 12th, ADL offices in the tri-state area have been flooded with calls complaining about comments made by "Mike and the Mad Dog" show hosts Mike Francesa and Chris Russo. The complaints focus on the hosts suggesting the motive behind the World Trade Center attack is U.S. support for the State of Israel or, more importantly, suggesting a divided loyalty for American Jews between our country and Israel."

On Wikipedia, Echoes of 9/11 ‘Edit Wars’

AS the nation marked this terrible anniversary, people invariably turned to Wikipedia to learn about the events of Sept. 11, 2001. Nearly two million page views were registered last September for the article “September 11 Attacks,” a typically Wikipedian effort with exhaustive, even picayune, details of the events, bolstered by nearly 289 footnotes. This September, the total page view number could be something like six million.

Likewise, readers have repeatedly turned to the article “9/11 Conspiracy Theories.” The article — similarly detailed with 299 footnotes purporting to explain accusations of faked video footage or controlled demolition of the two buildings — had 400,000 page views last September, and is on pace to have more than a million views this year.

One thing is certain, however. Not one of those visitors got to the conspiracy theories page by making a hypertext leap from a link in the main article about the Sept. 11 attacks. More

Ex-F.B.I. Agent Cites High-Level Dysfunction Over 9/11

In a new memoir, a former F.B.I. agent who tracked Al Qaeda before and after the Sept. 11 attacks paints a devastating picture of rivalry and dysfunction inside the government’s counterterrorism agencies. The book describes missed opportunities to defuse the 2001 plot, and argues that other attacks overseas might have been prevented, and Osama bin Laden found earlier, if interrogations had not been mismanaged.

In the 571-page book, “The Black Banners: The Inside Story of 9/11 and the War Against Al Qaeda,” Mr. Soufan accuses C.I.A. officials of deliberately withholding crucial documents and photographs of Qaeda operatives from the F.B.I. before Sept. 11, 2001, despite three written requests, and then later lying about it to the 9/11 Commission.

Scare in the air – another attempted 9/11?

Three men locked themselves inside the toilet of an aircraft that was headed for New York from Gold Coast – the passengers on board saw a big line outside the toilet but did not give it a second thought. In fact, they were unaware of the grave implications till they saw two F-16 fighter jets escorting the aircraft!!

It was a chilling experience for all passengers of the American Airlines Flight No 34 – once the aircraft landed at the New York JFK airport, the passengers were asked to remain seated till the marshals came and took away the three passengers locked in the toilet.

The F-16 jets from the North American Aerospace Defense Command intercepted the AA aircraft 160 Km from NY and escorted it till its landing. Authorities do not look upon as a terror activity but the FBI was involved.

9/11 Was Declaration of War

On this 10th Anniversary of the September 11th attack on America we’ll hear politicians and pundits wringing their hands over the “tragic events” of that morning. They’ll wonder aloud whether we’ve “learned anything” in these past ten years and whether we’ve achieved the correct level of “tolerance” and “understanding” that is so desperately needed to solve our worlds problems.

From our president we will hear a call to community service and a plea to find volunteer opportunities in our neighborhoods, because, you know… the real message behind 9/11 is to plant a garden at the local welfare office.

What we won’t hear enough of this momentous day is the truth about 9/11. The truth about what happened that day. The truth about why it happened. More

Obama, Bush see raw emotions at 9/11 events

Partners in crime, both war criminals are reviving the emotional 9/11 garbage to further zionist agendas. If there was a shred of honesty in all of this, they would be helping the 1st responders

***

President Barack Obama picked up where his predecessor George W. Bush left off in the war against Islamic militants after the September 11 attacks, and on Sunday both saw the raw emotions that linger 10 years later.

The 10th anniversary of the attacks marked the first time the Democratic and Republican presidents have appeared together publicly since January 2010. But, joined by their wives, the two men made a show of solidarity at Ground Zero in New York, walking in tandem along a memorial pool at the site of the north tower of the World Trade Center.

They nodded their heads during a moment of silence, the only sound the roaring of the waterfall in the pool.

Afterward, they appeared together behind bullet-proof glass near where the names of those killed on September 11 were read aloud.

Obama read from Psalm 46, and Bush read an 1864 letter written by President Abraham Lincoln to a widow who had lost five sons in the Civil War that said the deaths were "a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom."

Before speaking, Bush put on the podium a badge from New York Port Authority officer George Howard who died on September 11. Howard's mother gave Bush the badge when he visited Ground Zero three days after the attacks.

The crowd at Ground Zero was somber as survivors of the nearly 3,000 killed at the World Trade Center waved photos of lost loved ones. More

Post-September 11, NSA ‘enemies’ include us

Somewhere between Sept. 11 and today, the enemy morphed from a handful of terrorists to the American population at large, leaving us nowhere to run and no place to hide.

Within weeks of the attacks, the giant ears of the National Security Agency, always pointed outward toward potential enemies, turned inward on the American public itself. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, established 23 years before to ensure that only suspected foreign agents and terrorists were targeted by the NSA, would be bypassed. Telecom companies, required by law to keep the computerized phone records of their customers confidential unless presented with a warrant, would secretly turn them over in bulk to the NSA without ever asking for a warrant.

77 U.S. troops injured on eve of 9/11

The massive Taliban truck bomb that exploded outside an American military base in a restive eastern district injured nearly 80 U.S. troops and killed five Afghans, Western and Afghan officials said Sunday.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, which took place Saturday evening in the Sayedabad district of Wardak province. That is the same district where insurgents last month shot down a U.S. Chinook helicopter, killing 30 American troops, the majority of them Navy SEALs, including some from the unit responsible for killing Osama bin Laden.

There’s no special logo on Google for the anniversary, which perhaps might have felt out of place. Rather, Google’s gone with a simple, tasteful black ribbon of remembrance and the words “Remembering September 11,” as you can see below:
