9/11 9 Years Later

As protests continue at the site of the mosque near ground zero and of Muslims pissed that a second rate preacher is contemplating, but not actually accomplishing, a burning of the Quran, we should look back at what got us here. There have been millions of notions over what happened and believer and skeptic alike are both furiously wrong over some topics. Guess work aside, let's examine the actual facts behind the case that really are not in dispute except by the most rabid of idiots.

1)Bin Laden confessed to the attack and still resides in Pakistan/ Iraq/Iran- This is one of the biggest lies to overcome. The FBI has Osama bin Laden on the ten most wanted but not for the attacks on 9/11. Why? No evidence to tie him ot the attacks. That is the OFFICIAL word of the FBI on that. The tape where he confessed shows a fat Osama bin Laden and the translation of what is being said at this meeting is dubious at best. The way the tape was actually found is also subject to questioning. Much like every thing else lately such as the Pan Am 103 bombing and Hezbollah proxy attacks, everything links back to Iran. On a news report today, the CIA said they had evidence that Osama was now living in Iran. Right. If you believe that I have a bridge to sell you. Chances are the guy's been dead for almost a decade. How do I know that? Every tape since 2002 of bin Laden has been a fake according to every expert on Earth. The only reason to fake such a thing is if you are trying to propagate a myth.

2) The planes that took off on interception routes for the hijacked planes should have gotten there much earlier. This is simple math. Knowing what I do about fighter pilots, the longest it would take to get scrambled and up in the air is twenty minutes, and that's on the severely long end of the graph. Average is less than ten. But if we take into account, divide the amount of miles by the air speed and we get 263 mph for a plane that can go 1800 mph. Why did these planes go so slow?

3) WTC 7 is still an anomaly as they keep saying that fire brought the building down which is an impossibility. Mo structure before or since has collapsed like the three WTC buildings. That in and of itself is a little odd. A few years ago a large cargo plane struck an Iranian five story building. The plane crumbled and the structure still stood. Yet buildings constructed to take such a hit by that exact plane fell. WTC 7, supposedly hit by debree, has yet to show any video evidence showing said damage. Yet it fell too, although in every film it looks intact and fire fighters at the time dispute a ravaging inferno inside. Larry Silverstein did say in a interview that he told the firefighters to "pull it." This has been claimed that he meant to pull out the firefighters but why say "it" instead of "them" then.

4) This one gives skeptics fits because they can't explain it, the statements are on tape, and the accuser is a cabinet member Norman Minetta. In his taped and sworn statement in front of Congress, Minetta verifies a stand down order by Dick Cheney as one of the hijacked planes approached Washington. Skeptics have done a real song and dance on this one but at the end of the day it is really hard to explain away. Plus how come when Payne Stewart's plane went off course, fighters pilots were there in less than fifteen minutes, but we let known hijacked planes bumble across the country for almost two hours. Bull.

5) Skeptics claim that because the planes transponders were turned off we couldn't track them. Having friends who have worked in aviation and NORAD in particular I can tell you with little doubt that EVERY plane is tracked in this country with or without transponders. Do you really think the Russians in an all out attack against us would be so nice as to use transponders so we could track tham? Hell no. It has come to light that the official story told by the military was false as confirmed by the heads of the 9/11 commission, Dean and Hamilton. The FAA report was the accurate one it turns out and still leaves a major gap as to why the military took so long to get planes in the air, a fact still not discussed today.

These are just a few of the questions still lingering. Others such as no planes hitting buildings (missiles, holograms), cell phones not used on hijacked flights, operation Northwoods, are all red herrings for the real truth. Keep digging and you will hit bottom eventually and the the truth will come out.
