the first day...911

Dan Rather was unconvinced. Gary Sick was unconvinced. I was unconvinced.

That night, after a very long shift, I finally sat down to SEE the carnage that I had only HEARD about throughout the day, that terrible day, September 11.

I was unconvinced. The scientist in me jumped up to do an assessment. Why? How? WHO? Searching the visceral video evidence, I smelled a rat. Something just didn't make sense?!!

I had to go to bed. Knowing, as I did, that the pundits and panderers and newscasters would say, speculate and reveal things that would likely never be said again that first night, I set up a video tape in record mode.

CBS news and Dan Rather replayed the now edited and sanitized video clips of the planes hitting the towers, the towers falling, reactions of people on the street and in the blood banks, the actions following the attack on the Pentagon,etc.

It did indeed reveal many anomalies, inconsistancies, prejudices, and outright fabrications that went into making up the whole 911 LIE.

Many things struck me as odd and staged, as I reviewed this document which ran from approximately 9:45pm on September 11, 2001 to 3:45am September 12.

A short list...


Bin Laden was already the prime suspect, even as the White House spokesperson said that "There was no talk about retaliation, tonight...it is far too early for that, senior White House officials said(Some minutes after 10pm)."

An hour or so later, the White House correspondent (John Roberts?) declared that there was "we think" there is some "pretty good" evidence that points to Bin Laden. The experts parroted each other saying that, gee, who else could it be? This despite President Bush's declaration that he would start a "full scale investigation" to find those responsible.

Each video seems to show a different plane hitting the building, some are light, some are dark, some depict the plane banking sharply to the left just before striking the building, while others seem to show a controlled and level approach.

The building do not collapse, they explode/implode, as in a demolition. Many people on the street mention explosions, secondary explosions and bombs.

Even Dan Rather seems to become impatient with the sanitized "truth" that is being purported. Reading between the lines, you can sense this, as when he repeats "Troy" three times during the intro and outro of a story by a correspondent named Troy(I'll get his last name). He also slips words and phrases like "demolished" and "black as a crows wing" into his reporting.



An outline of my observations and thoughts....



LACKING EVIDENCE

* Some things that were alleged to have happened but were never proved:


Phone calls from the hijacked planes

Islamo Terrorists: The list of nineteen hijackers, which was never revised, contained the names of at least seven persons who were later found to be alive and well and denied being involved...

A Plane hitting the Pentagon an HOUR and THIRTY MINUTES after the Incidents had begun

Bin Laden involvement

That the towers collapsed due to fire and the structural damage, a mere 56 minutes and 104 minutes after they were struck, respectively...




Questions:

Where are the black boxes?
Where are the remains of the planes, the jet engines, etc?
Where are the films of the Pentagon being struck?
Where are the trials and convictions of any of the perpetrators?
Where is Bin Laden?
Where are the tapes of the cockpit voices from the FAA?
Why did building 7 at the world trade center collapse that day. Is it coincidence that this building housed the Secret Service, the CIA(?) and Rudolph Guilliani's emergency response command center, an office that he apparently abandoned early on after the events began to unfold?
How convenient is it that FEMA showed up Monday night, the night before 9/11, and were able to jump into action as the "disaster" unfolded?
Where was President Cheney(ooops, Vice President) while these events were unfolding? Where was Bush?
Why was the NORAD defense during the time between approx 8:15 when the first plane was hijacked, until approx 9:45 when the pentagon was hit, and why did the FAA take the blame in the end?
Why was the term "Ground Zero" applied to the site of the WTC, a term which had always previously referred to the sites of nuclear weapons explosions

Add your questions here...


Anyways, I missed that boat a long time ago. If it does not alarm you that the events of the day led directly to:

*the railroading through Congress and Senate of the "Patriot" act(riot act!) (greased with a few anthrax letters)

*the 'War on Terror" (terror is a tactic)

*war in Afghanistan (conveniently, they are the biggest producer of opium and heroin in the world, now that the Taliban is no longer eradicating the poppy fields)

*war on Iraq (conveniently located over one of the worlds largest remaining untapped oil sources)

*the conscripting of our National Guard folks (who were established to protect the states) to fight these wars overseas, thereby avoiding the protests that would have been generated by a draft

*the complicity of the corporate press and media in perpetrating this hoax on the American people, while avoiding all of the inconvenient questions about the lack of evidence, the lack of inquiries and investigations, which would have shed light on this event (9/11) and its' aftermath (war of terror, torture, illegal wiretaps)...

*the steady erosion of our Constitution and of our rights

....then kiss the American Dream goodbye, put it back to bed with all of your other dreams.
