A. 9-11 Truth: A Crime, Not A War

Part 1. (1 of 3) The Honest 9-11 Story

It was April 4th, 1973, when the ceremonial ribbon was cut at the World Trade Center (WTC). That date concluded seven years of construction, preceded by more than a decade's worth of planning that transformed 16 acres of Lower Manhattan.

The information below will show that the tragic events of September 11, 2001 were assisted and distorted by the Bush administration to implement their imperialistic plans to enlarge and secure 'Empire-USA'; plans that had already been prepared prior to 9-11. The basis for these plans were created in 1999 by the group at www.newamericancentury.org, which was founded by Cheney, Rumsfeld, and other neocons, and Conservatives, and published in Sep-2000 as the report "Rebuilding America's Defenses" . Their goal was to use U.S. blood and treasure to enlarge and protect U.S. and Israeli interests by force worldwide. Facts exposed since 9-11 confirm all the conclusions herein, and thus their validity.

Key issues and facts are:

a. Bush learned of the 9-11 plans from Israel, then coordinated with the owner of the World Trade Center complex (see Part 3 below), and conspired to 'allow' the attack to happen. The sad fact is that national leaders worldwide have used lies to start wars throughout history, and the USA is no exception. Refer to Part #8-'Dave's Writings' in the left margin, then 'B- 'Wars and the Lies that Start Them', Dave's column published on Sep. 10, 2007. Bush needed a trigger to launch the plans made in 1999, and 'used' his advance knowledge to make 9-11 the trigger. Just as with; 1. FDR poking Japan to create an 'incident' somewhere, that then occurred at Pearl Harbor, and 2. LBJ faking the 'Gulf of Tonkin' incident, our Presidents don't mind sacrificing a few thousand lives to start a war that they, and there complicit henchmen, want.

b. 15 of the 19 9-11 bombers were Saudis, but Bush never pursued that fact because the despotic Saudi rulers are his close friends (and he already had an oil deal with them). This is why Bush didn't invade Saudi Arabia to do a 'regime change'. Also, if these terrorists wanted to kill people, why were the planes crashed into the towers at 8:45 and 9:03 AM local time, before the buildings were fully occupied? Maybe it was just the towers that were to be destroyed?

c. 9-11 was ‘used’ by Bush as an excuse to create the endless 'War on Terror' and invade Afghanistan, which was in truth to build an oil/gas pipeline to a warm-water port (Google 'Afghan, Unocal'); the same reason the Russians invaded. The fact that we quickly invaded Afghanistan on Oct. 7, 2001 confirms that plans had already been made prior to 9-11.

d. Saddam Hussein of Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11, or Osama bin Laden, never had the ability or intent to threaten the U.S., and Bush lied about WMD threats to justify the Mar-03 invasion, which in truth was for 1. Oil, 2. Defense of Israel, and 3. Land for bases. Thus, the Iraq war is immoral, illegal, and a tragic abuse and waste of our troops and treasure. For more on how to punish Bush and his gang for these 'high crimes', go to #3 'Issues' in the left margin, then item #25 'Impeach Bush and Cheney'.

e. The government story about planning and execution of 9-11 is full of voids and lies. There is much work needed to get the true story. As an engineer, Dave knows there is no way the twin towers (built with an exterior shell of I-beams) and Bldg 7 fell into their footprint at freefall speed except by controlled demolition charges installed in advance! Even though Bush devotees may claim that photos of the collapses could have been 'doctored' to show the explosive horizontal spurts of debris from each floor as the towers fell, the nature of the debris pile (concrete dust and severed beams) reveals that explosions caused the towers to fall (see f. below). The same doubts surround the alleged crash of an airliner into the Pentagon (see h. below).

f. The fallen towers were a crime scene, full of evidence as to why the towers collapsed straight down into a pile of fine concrete dust and short pieces of steel beams (few over 30 ft.), both due to explosive cutting by controlled-demolition charges at each floor level. Crime scenes are normally secured so only police can enter to search for clues. Yet, a private firm was on-site on Sep. 12 to haul away debris, to a restricted location, for rapid shipment overseas to a scrap dealer.

g. No NORAD or regular Air Force planes were launched, despite their mission of short-notice response to air attacks.

h. The Pentagon damage is consistent with a ground-fired missile, not a plane crash. The approxamitely 6 ft. diameter round hole in the interior concrete wall could not have been made by the nose of an airliner (which would crumple). Key items of normal plane debris were missing, such as seats and engines (which don't melt or flatten). Is it a coincidence that the damage was in an unoccupied section of the Pentagon?

i. United Airlines Flight 93 was a scheduled flight from Newark International Airport to San Francisco, but was alleged to have crashed near Shanksville, PA, NW of DC. Sketchy data suggests it was commandeered by hijackers, who caused the crash to avoid losing control to the passengers. Conversely, Col. George Nelson, USAF (retired), has said of Shanksville that it looked to him (a former air crash investigator) as though someone had taken a bulldozer, dug a ditch, filled it with trash, and blown it up.

j. Bush at first said there was no need for a report to document how and why 9-11 occurred. Then he appointed Kissinger to manage it, which was rejected by others due to his biased background, and finally a Commission staff was reluctantly appointed by Bush in late 2002, with Thomas Kean as Chairman. The '9/11 Commission Report' was issued on July 22, 2004. Critics of the report cite numerous voids and distortions. The Commission was prevented from; 1. Interviewing many 'persons of interest', and 2. Analyzing pertitnent data files, both based on Bush claims of secrecy.

k. On Sep. 24, 2004 Osama bin Laden issued a letter in the UK newspaper 'The Observer' stating why he approved attacks on the US. They were; 1. US troops on sacred Saudi soil, 2. US biased support of Israel, 3. US bombing and occupation of Iraq during and after the Gulf War started in Jan. 17, 1991, and 4. US access to Saudi oil at low prices (FDR's deal with the King in 1945). Bush ignored and suppressed the letter and announced; 'The terrorists attacked us because they hate our lifestyle'. This lie allowed Bush and his gang to proceed with their wordwide plan (including inside USA) of pre-emptive wars, abuse of laws and liberty, torture, and imperial domination at home and abroad, but under the cloak of 'The War on Terror' !!

Summary: Bush and Israelis contrived the fake term 'IslamoFascism' to focus hate on Muslims in general, and to avoid ending the REAL REASONS (which they like) for terrorist attacks, namely; 1. The US worldwide policy of intervention, invasion, and occupation of foreign lands, and 2. Extreme support of Israel (mlitary, economic, and political), including that over 90% of US vetoes in the UN Security Council are to defeat resolutions that criticize Israel.

Thus, the causes of 9-11, including U.S. government 'facilitation' of the bomber's plan, require further study. Honest answers have far-reaching importance because 9-11 is the basis for the massive spending, invasions, torture, domestic spying, and suspension of rights by the Bush administration.

We must take this false justification for war and abuse away from Bush, and future Presidents !

'Warrior' politicians like Sen. John McCain only think in terms of counter-attacking and controlling those who have attacked us. Others, with self-serving motives (industry leaders, politicians, and party-first fools and parasites), respond to his call for more war. These folks ignore whether the U.S. may have caused the attacks by meddling in the internal affairs of other people and nations, and that the solution is to stop meddling in, invading, and occupying foreign lands.

All responsible and thinking Americans must stand-up to resist and reform these counterproductive attitudes and government policies. It is our duty as citizens of a Constitutional Republic !

Unless we wake-up to the fact that Bush and his neocon gang are spending trillions of dollars to build Empire-USA worldwide by force, we are going to continue to have terrorist attacks and lose our nation's integrity and wealth, and decline to a mid-level nation, as have all other Empires in history. Examples are the former 'Empire' nations of England, Spain, and France. Our spending and debt problems are rooted in defending and enlarging our imperial ‘Empire-of-Influence’ abroad? We are paying for imports by creating fake paper money that will destroy the value of the US Dollar, as we off-shore our best jobs, and welcome illegal immigrants to take the low skill jobs?

The solution is to; 1. Stop meddling in the affairs of other nations, including invasion, occupation, and CIA regime-changes (all of which create the hate that drives terrorists), 2. Close all of our foreign bases (over 700 bases in 130 countries), 3. End our membership in counterproductive trade and defense treaties (SALT, NAFTA, UN, NATO, IMF, World bank, etc.), 4. Engage in free trade and diplomatic discussion worldwide, and 5. Focus on solving our problems at home, based on minimal government, property rights, non-monopoly licensing for health and other services (not just the AMA, or government-run), and free enterprise.

History and logic show that this approach will produce the most peace, prosperity, ethics, and justice for all.

Part 2. Endorsement

A statement by James H. Fetzer, Founder, Scholars for 9/11 Truth (911truth.org)

“Candidates with the courage and integrity to confront the ominous truths of 9/11 are few and far between--and greatly to be admired!

9/11 has been used to justify the invasion of Afghanistan and the war in Iraq, the loss of civil liberties and placing this nation under surveillance. Unless we come to grips with its profound and evil significance, we are going to continue to lose our grip on our destiny. Does anyone doubt our budget problems are rooted in misadventures abroad? The US could save $1 trillion a year for the American taxpayer by shutting down close to a thousand military bases abroad.

I applaud Dave Redick for having the strength and leadership to confront 9/11! "

Part 3. Details on WTC Scandal (compiled from Internet sources)

Larry Silverstein is the New York property tycoon who purchased the entire WTC complex just 6 months prior to the 9/11 attacks. That was the first time in its 28-year history the complex had EVER changed ownership. WTC was never a successful real estate venture (too big, bad location, etc.). It was built by orders from Gov. Nelson Rockefeller to help his brother David, whose Chase-Manhattan Bank wanted new development near its existing (failing) properties in the south Manhattan area to compete with booming Midtown. Why else would the NY Port Authority get into the real estate business?

Mr. Silverstein’s first order of business as the new owner was to change the company responsible for the security of the complex. The new security company he hired was Securacom (now Stratasec). George W. Bush's brother, Marvin Bush, was on its board of directors, and Marvin’s cousin, Wirt Walker III, was its CEO. According to public records, not only did Securacom provide electronic security for the World Trade Center, it also covered Dulles International Airport and United Airlines — two key players in the 9/11 attacks.

The company was backed by an investment firm, the Kuwait-American Corp., also linked for many years to the Bush family. KuwAm has been linked to the Bush family financially since the Gulf War. One of its principals and a member of the Kuwaiti royal family, Mishal Yousef Saud al Sabah, served on the board of Stratesec.

Now, consider: The members of a small cabal owned the WTC complex, controlled its electronic security, and also controlled the security not only for one of the airlines whose aircraft were hijacked on 9/11, but the airport from which they originated.

Another little “coincidence” -- Mr. Silversten, who made a down-payment of $124 million on this $3.2 billion complex, promptly insured it for $7 Billion. Not only that, he covered the complex against “terrorist attacks”.

Following the attacks, Silverstein filed TWO insurance claims for the maximum amount of the policy ($7B), based on the two -- in Silverstein's view -- separate attacks. The insurance company, Swiss Re, paid Mr. Silverstein $4.6 Billion — a princely return on a relatively paltry investment of $124 million.

There’s more. You see, the World Trade Towers were not the real estate plum we are led to believe. From an economic standpoint, the trade center -- subsidized since its inception by the NY Port Authority -- has never functioned, nor was it intended to function, unprotected in the rough-and-tumble real estate marketplace. How could Silverstein Group have been ignorant of this?

The towers required some $200 million in renovations and improvements, most of which related to removal and replacement of building materials declared to be health hazards in the years since the towers were built. It was well-known by the city of New York that the WTC was an asbestos bombshell. For years, the Port Authority treated the building like an aging dinosaur, attempting on several occasions to get permits to demolish the building for liability reasons, but being turned down due the known asbestos problem. Further, it was well-known the only reason the building was still standing until 9/11 was because it was too costly to disassemble the twin towers floor by floor since the Port Authority was prohibited legally from demolishing the buildings.

The projected cost to disassemble the towers: $15 Billion. Just the scaffolding for the operation was estimated at $2.4 Billion!

In other words, the Twin Towers were condemned structures. How convenient that an unexpected “terrorist” attack demolished the buildings completely.

WTC Building 7 was a part of the WTC complex, and covered under the same insurance policy. This 47-story steel-framed structure, which was NOT struck by an aircraft, mysteriously collapsed 8 hours later at 5:20 PM that same day into its own footprint at freefall speed — exactly in the manner of the Twin Towers. This can only occur with 'controlled demolition' by explosive charges installed in advance!

How could this have happened? Mr. Silverstein gave the world the answer when he slipped up during a PBS television interview a year later, on 9/11/2002:

"I remember getting a call from the...er...fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, 'We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it.' And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse."

As anyone who knows anything about construction can tell you, “Pull” is common industry jargon for a controlled demolition.

One thing is for sure, the decision to 'pull' WTC 7 would have delighted many people. Especially because it has been reported that thousands of sensitive files relating to some of the biggest financial scams in history — including Enron and WorldCom -- were stored in the offices of some of the building’s tenants:

US Secret Service
NSA
CIA
IRS
BATF
SEC
NAIC Securities
Salomon Smith Barney
American Express Bank International
Standard Chartered Bank
Provident Financial Management
ITT Hartford Insurance Group
Federal Home Loan Bank

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not quantified the number of active cases in which substantial files were destroyed by the collapse of WTC 7. Reuters news service and the Los Angeles Times published reports estimating them at 3,000 to 4,000. They include the agency's major inquiry into the manner in which investment banks divvied up hot shares of initial public offerings during the high-tech boom. ..."Ongoing investigations at the New York SEC will be dramatically affected because so much of their work is paper-intensive," said Max Berger of New York's Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossmann. "This is a disaster for these cases."

Citigroup says some information that the committee is seeking [about WorldCom] was destroyed in the Sept. 11 terror attack on the World Trade Center. Salomon had offices in 7 World Trade Center. The bank says that back-up tapes of corporate emails from September 1998 through December 2000 were stored at the building and destroyed in the attack.

Inside WTC 7 was the US Secret Service's largest field office with more than 200 employees. "All the evidence that we stored at 7 World Trade, in all our cases, went down with the building," according to US Secret Service Special Agent David Curran.

What a neat, complete, and fortuitous turn of events was 9/11.

Incidentally, it’s worth noting that one of Lucky Larry’s closest friends — a person with whom it’s said he speaks almost daily by phone — is none other than former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

B. ‘Impeach or Indict Bush and Cheney':

We must expose, indict, and convict Bush and others for their crimes and abuses committed while in office (can you say 'Accountability' and 'Nurenberg' ?). It may be hopeless and too late to expect Congress to impeach Bush, but crimes are stubborn things, and outlive one's time in office. ARTS supports the work of Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) and his June 9, 2008 Resolution to impeach Bush and Cheney, which included 35 articles (see www.kucinich.us and www.kucinich.house.gov). This replaces his Apr-07 resolution to impeach Cheney. Bravo Kucinich! Shame on Party-First Pelosi ! A very few other honest and courageous leaders have voiced support for impeachment, including Sen. Hagel (R-NB) and Paul Craig Roberts PhD, author and former Sec. of the Treasury.
