I don't have the actual release -- it will be in local papers tomorrow and may be on the BYU web site now.I feel that this is a good move for me. I have been contacted by another school about joining their faculty, and may do so -- but no decision on that yet. I think it will work out for the best. I assure you all that I will continue in my research on 9/11 issues, and speaking out -- should have more time for these activities in fact.I feel good about this -- not angry with BYU, moving on and happy with it overall.Thanks for all your support, especially to those who signed the petition at st911.org in my behalf.My sincere thanks to all my friends in the 9/11 truth community world-wide; we have a great, growing community of intelligent, caring people. We can do this!Sincerely,Steven E. JonesPhysicistLetter to the Editor:I stand firmly against the war in Iraq and any war of aggression. I support scientific scrutiny of the events of 9/11/2001, a day which will live in infamy. I speak as a private citizen of the United States."In a democracy we can renounce war and proclaim peace. There is opportunity for dissent. Many have been speaking out and doing so emphatically. That is their privilege. That is their right, so long as they do so legally… We can give our opinions on the merits of the situation as we see it..." (Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley, LDS General Conference, 6 April 2003.)Wholeheartedly agreeing, I am exercising that right and that privilege. "A team of American and Iraqi public health researchers has estimated that 600,000 civilians have died in violence across Iraq since the 2003 American invasion," (New York Times, 11 Oct. 2006) I renounce these killings in the Middle Eastern wars.We must insist on complete answers to questions about what really happened on September 11th, why there were no air defenses that day, and why we have gone to war in the Middle East. These issues transcend party politics. These yearnings for understanding of 9/11 and the wars that followed take us to the core of our heritage as Americans -- I support the Constitution of the United States. I am very concerned about those elected officials who would engage in pre-emptive war rather than "common defense" to "repel invasions" (Article I), compromise our rights against torture and cruel punishments (8th Amendment), take away the right of habeas corpus (Article I), and diminish the freedom to speak out without fear of reprisals (1st Amendment). Two structural engineering professors in Switzerland have recently spoken out as I have also done, declaring that explosives were with "utmost probability" responsible for the collapse of World Trade Center 7 on September 11th. "WTC7 was with the utmost probability brought down by explosives", said one. [Tages-Anzeiger, 9/9/2006]After seeing the collapse of World Trade Center 7 (see wt7.net), many instinctively want to know why this 47-story skyscraper, which was never hit by a plane, collapsed completely seven hours after the WTC Towers had collapsed. How could this happen? The 9/11 Commission report fails to mention the collapse of WTC7. Federal laboratories have not officially answered yet. FEMA explains how fire might initiate a collapse, then admits, "Our best hypothesis has only a low probability of occurrence." Is it a crime, then, to consider an alternative hypothesis, that explosives were used?I invite you to study this matter for yourself. Please read the peer-reviewed articles published here: www.Journalof911Studies.com . This Journal is supported by the Scholars for 9/11 Truth, which I co-chair, and considers the "official theory" of what happened on 9/11 as well as alternative explanations. One of my scientific papers on 9/11 issues is published in this Journal (as well as in a book edited by Professors David Ray Griffin and Peter Scott.) The paper therein by Joseph Firmage explores evidences that US intelligence knew in advance that the hijackers were coming and that the attacks were "allowed to happen," to justify wars in the Middle East. At least ten nations are on record as having warned the current administration that terrorist attacks were imminent, shortly before 9/11. If another "9/11-like event" is "allowed to happen" in the near future, do you not suppose that it will be blamed this time on Iran or Syria, followed by a swift and deadly attack on the country blamed? Can you not imagine that a military draft will follow next, with college students constrained to enter the military, and handed rifles to go and kill people in the Middle East, by the tens of thousands? Because of my concern for college-age students I have taught and loved for decades, I am motivated to speak out emphatically against what I judge – after thorough study and reflection – to be terrible wars, wars of aggression, founded on deceptions.Steven E. JonesPh.D. PhysicistCo-Chair, Scholars for 9/11 Truth Fri, 20 Oct 2006 21:40:40 -0700 http://www.911truthseekers.org/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=54 http://www.911truthseekers.org/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=53 From: James Valarian of Utah Rally For Peace:BYU Professor Steve Jones has been punished for telling the truth about 9/11 and placed on administrative leave and may be fired. We can not allow these criminals who murdered our people on 9/11 to punish the people who tell on them.Please come join the protest and/or learn what Steve Jones has to say this Saturday at 2:15PM at the Salt Lake City Main Library in Basement Rooms A&B where we can seat about a hundred people to see "911 Revisitied: Scientific and Ethical Questions" a lecture by BYU Professor Steve Jones on 1Feb2006 at Utah Valley State College, with discussion and additonal evidence provided by James Valarian (me).A hundred free copies will be given away.I will be out front of the LDS Church Conference Building near the southeast corner in a small alcove about 10 West North Temple from 8AM-1PM on Saturday 30Sep and again from 8AM-5PM on Sunday 1Oct.Saturday I will have a fancy poster advertising the meeting above, and Sunday I will be giving away another hundred DVD's in an effort to educate Church officials that they have errored in judgement and need to repent from their support of the evil Bush Administration, and reinstate Professor Jones.My permit space is very small, and we must respect these good people going to church and not obstruct them in any way; so people wishing to come and join me and/or talk to me; should come during the sessions from 10AM-Noon both mornings and 2PM-4PM on Sunday, when the sidewalk is empty and be respective and make room for anyone who wants to walk by, and/or get their own permit to stand elsewhere.I did this last year with great success, but the punishment of Steve Jones proves that the message hasn't reached the top yet, and so I must try again.Next Saturday on 7Oct we will be in the same place and time to see "LOOSE CHANGE, 2ND EDITION" by Dylan Avery, followed by a speech on "THE SACRIFICES OF OUR ANCESTORS TO CREATE AND PRESERVE A REPUBLIC ON THE EARTH" and our obligation to continue their work to preserve freedom for our children and grandchildren. Freedom is not free, and freedom does not come to people who blindly follow evil leaders without question of their crimes, and this crime is the worst one ever committed in our country, and one for which the proof is abundant to those with eyes to see and ears to hear and a heart and mind willing to embrace the truth. Wed, 27 Sep 2006 14:10:00 -0700 http://www.911truthseekers.org/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=53 http://www.911truthseekers.org/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=52 By ChristopherBollyn9-17-2006Like a modern-day Galileo or Socrates, the highly respected physicist, who has challenged with logic and scientific evidence the official explanation for the "collapse" of the World Trade Center, has been banned from teaching classes at his university.On September 7, the third day of the new fall semester at Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, Steven E. Jones, professor of physics and 9/11 researcher, was suddenly banned by university authorities from teaching the physics classes he has taught for the past 21 years. Jones was unexpectedly suspended with pay after participating in a radio show in which he had been cunningly lured to comment on a subject outside of his field the "motivation" of "the Neo-Conservatives" blamed for the terror attacks of September 11, 2001.Jones, a soft-spoken physicist who specializes in metal-catalyzed fusion, archaeometry, and solar energy, joined the 9/11 research effort after being intrigued by the unexplained collapse of the 47-story WTC 7 at 5:25 p.m. on the afternoon of 9/11. Jones scientific interest was sparked after having read the August 2002 report in American Free Press that molten iron had been found in the rubble of all three collapsed WTC towers including WTC 7.As this reporter discovered in the summer of 2002, "literally molten steel" had been found, more than a month after the collapse, at the bases of the collapsed towers, where their load-bearing central support columns connected to the bedrock. "Such persistent and intense residual heat, 70 feet below the surface, could explain how these crucial structural supports failed," I wrote at the time.Peter Tully, president of Tully Construction of Flushing, New York, told this reporter he had seen pools of "literally molten steel" at the World Trade Center, where his company had been contracted to remove debris, weeks after the three towers collapsed.Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition, Inc. (CDI) of Phoenix, Maryland, wrote the clean-up plan for the WTC and confirmed the presence of molten metal at the site."Yes," Loizeaux said, "hot spots of molten steel in the basements." These incredibly hot areas were found "at the bottoms of the elevator shafts of the main towers, down seven [basement] levels," Loizeaux said.http://www.rense.com/general73/ZZIBN.HTM Fri, 22 Sep 2006 14:07:16 -0700 http://www.911truthseekers.org/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=52 http://www.911truthseekers.org/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=51 A BYU news article discusses the recent situation with Professor Steven Jones who has been placed on paid leave while they "review his research and statements related to the collapse of the World Trade Center towers on September 11, 2001." Since last year Professor Jones has been speaking out about research he has done regarding the events of September 11th. He is also a founding member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth (www.scholarsfortruth.org). This has caused much controversy even among members of the LDS Church, with many in support and others against what Professor Jones is doing. If you would like to voice your opinion to BYU President Samuleseon, please do so at the following URL:http://unicomm.byu.edu/president/feedback.aspx?lms=3(I hope that all comments are made with respect, as any negative or demeaning statements will probably not have a positive effect on the outcome of this review).Related URLs:http://newsnet.byu.edu/story.cfm/60800/5668http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=148&sid=476951http://www.latterdayconservative.com/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=88 Tue, 12 Sep 2006 00:43:00 -0700 http://www.911truthseekers.org/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=51 http://www.911truthseekers.org/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=50 By Tad WalchDeseret Morning News PROVO — Brigham Young University placed physics professor Steven Jones on paid leave Thursday while it reviews his involvement in the so-called "9/11 truth movement" that accuses unnamed government agencies of orchestrating the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center.BYU will conduct an official review of Jones' actions before determining a course of action, university spokeswoman Carri Jenkins said. Such a review is rare for a professor with "continuing status" at BYU, where Jones has taught since 1985. Jones was teaching two classes this semester, which began Tuesday. Other professors will cover those classes, and Jones will be allowed to continue to do research in his area of academic study, Jenkins said. Jones became a celebrity among 9/11 conspiracy-theory groups after he wrote a paper titled "Why Indeed Did the World Trade Center Buildings Collapse?" The paper was published two weeks ago in the book "9/11 and American Empire: Intellectuals Speak Out" and lays out Jones' hypothesis that the three towers fell because of pre-positioned demolition charges — not because of the planes that hit two of the towers. When Jones began to share his demolition theory publicly last fall, he politely declined to speculate about who set the charges other than to say terrorist groups couldn't have been the source. Then, later, he started to speak publicly about research conducted at BYU on materials from ground zero. He said he found evidence of thermite — a compound used in military detonations — in the materials. In recent weeks, after becoming the co-chairman of the group Scholars for 9/11 Truth, Jones seemed willing to go further, implicating unnamed government groups but not President Bush. The Deseret Morning News requested a statement from the university Wednesday afternoon for a story it was preparing on Jones and his high-profile role in the 9/11 truth movement. University officials informed Jones of the decision to place him on leave Thursday afternoon and released a statement to the newspaper Thursday night."BYU has repeatedly said that it does not endorse assertions made by individual faculty," the statement said. "We are, however, concerned about the increasingly speculative and accusatory nature of these statements by Dr. Jones." Last fall, BYU faculty posted statements on the university Web site that questioned whether Jones subjected the paper to rigorous academic peer review before he posted it at physics.byu.edu. Jones removed the paper from BYU's Web site Thursday at the university's request. Efforts to reach Jones Thursday night were not successful. Jones told the Deseret Morning News on Wednesday that his paper had gone through an unusual third round of peer review in what is now an apparently unsuccessful effort to quell concerns on campus. "BYU remains concerned that Dr. Jones' work on this topic has not been published in appropriate scientific venues," the university statement said. Jenkins said BYU's reputation was a consideration, too. "It is a concern when faculty bring the university name into their own personal matters of concern," she said. Jones, also known for his cold fusion research, provided academic clout to the 9/11 truth movement. C-SPAN repeatedly broadcast a conference that featured Jones this summer. Recent articles about Sept. 11 conspiracy theories that focused at least in part on Jones have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian in London and other publications. Recent rebuttals to the demolition theory have been released by the State Department and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which published a 10,000-page report on the towers' collapse. A modified version of Jones' paper was scheduled to be published this week in the online Journal of 9/11 Studies. Jones is a co-editor of the journal. BYU does not grant tenure, generally regarded as a permanent position, to professors. However, it does give continuing status to professors found worthy after six years on campus. "Continuing status," Jenkins said, "grants the expectation that faculty members will have continuing employment at the university, although it is not a guarantee. They still need to meet satisfactory performance levels for scholarship, citizenship and teaching." The review will be conducted at three levels by the administration, the College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences and the Physics Department.

Sat, 26 Aug 2006 18:29:57 -0700 http://www.911truthseekers.org/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=48 http://www.911truthseekers.org/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=47 9/11 INSIDE JOB: ALL EVIDENCE, NO THEORIES! 1. Where is the plane that crashed into the Pentagon? Where are the wings, the tail, the two 9-foot Rolls Royce steel engines, the fuselage, etc? How does a 757 with a wingspan of 125 feet fit into a 16 by 20 foot initial impact hole? Why were only five photos of "something" hitting the Pentagon released that certainly didn’t look like a 757? Why did the FBI confiscate all other videos and photos of the Pentagon crash? Why didn’t any of the Pentagon’s five antiaircraft batteries shoot the plane down? One large piece of evidence that was found was covered in blue tarp and hauled away into obscurity! They did find a 3-foot engine, which is coincidentally the same size as the Global Hawk’s engine. Also, many eyewitnesses saw a "plane that appeared to hold 8-12 people" hit the building. 2. Why the apparent "STAND DOWN" by the FAA, NORAD, and NMCC on 9/11? NORAD had routinely intercepted planes 67 times earlier that year within 20 minutes each time and NEVER had a failure like they did on 9/11, nor after 9/11. On June 1, 2001, new instructions issued by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff reassigned aircraft interception authority to Rumsfeld, contradicting normal procedures. When either radar and cockpit contact is blocked, when transponders are turned off, or when planes deviate from their flight plan, standard military procedure is to scramble fighter jets immediately in order to regain contact with the pilot. According to Richard Meyers (then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) and NORAD spokesman Mike Snyder, NORAD did NOTHING (for over an hour) until AFTER the Pentagon was hit! When they finally did, they scrambled F-16’s from Langley Air Force Base 120 miles from the Pentagon, NOT Andrews AFB 12 miles away. To top off this peculiar event, the F-16’s conveniently traveled at 400 MPH, well under their 1500 MPH capacity, and they of course didn’t make it in time to the Pentagon. Because this was a clear violation of standard operating procedures, where are the reprimands? (Also see #24) Two months prior to 9/11, the FAA, FEMA, NORAD, DOD, and the White House were engaged in at least 35 drills including a series of elaborate War Games, anti-terror drills and hijack Field Training Exercises (FTX). They had 5 drills on the very morning of 9/11 – Operation Northern Vigilance, Biowarfare Exercise Triopod II, Operation Vigilant Guardian, Operation Northern Guardian, and Operation Vigilant Warrior. One drill covering New York City, involved hijacked planes used as missiles to attack prominent buildings! MASCAL, a mock terrorist exercise, was held in the Secretaries of Defense conference room on October 24-26, 2000. This exercise required emergency response teams, members of the defense protective services, and U.S. government officials to conduct emergency simulations in preparation for possible attacks on the Pentagon headquarters at the hands of incoming passenger planes. 3. Heat from burning jet fuel was reportedly the sole cause of the WTC collapses. What a ludicrous theory! 1. Steel melts at 2750°F. 2. The steel in the Towers was certified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. to withstand 2000°F for 6 hours! 3. Jet fuel produces a maximum temperature of 1800°F in a special combustion chamber. Theories that claim the steel melted from the jet fuel fire violate the laws of physics! Also, steel frame buildings have NEVER collapsed due to fires! Steel frame buildings cannot collapse at free-fall speed, symmetrically, straight down into a relatively small pile of rubble due to fire. That’s a fact. WTC maintenance workers confirm massive explosions in the sub-basement area that closely coincided with the aircraft impacts on the upper floors. FDNY rescuers also confirm coordinated explosions "like demolition charges" in the North Tower, as they escaped. The media conveniently failed to show these witnesses. According to civil engineering professor Hyman Brown, the WTC’s construction manager, WTC 1 and 2 were designed to survive an impact and resulting fires from a collision by the largest commercial aircraft at the time, a Boeing 707, carrying 23,000 gallons of fuel. He also stated the towers "could have easily withstood multiple airplane crashes". Another feature that would be expected only if explosives were used to slice the steel columns would be molten steel, and its existence at the WTC site was indeed reported by several witnesses, including the two main figures involved in the clean up, Peter Tully, president of Tully Construction, and Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition, Inc. Tully said that he saw pools of "literally molten steel" at the site. Loizeaux said that several weeks after 9/11, when the rubble was being removed, "hot spots of molten steel" were found "at the bottoms of the elevator shafts of the main towers, down seven basement levels". Hot spots were recorded up to 1377°F 5 DAYS AFTER 9/11! To top off this peculiar event, the steel structures and columns were quickly removed from the site (before any examination and to the objection of fire safety officials, firefighters, and victims’ families) and shipped to China and India to be recycled! (The real cause of the collapses was a highly sophisticated controlled demolition!) 4. How did WTC 7 collapse when no plane hit it? The collapse of Building 7 was later admitted to be a demolition by owner Larry Silverstein on a PBS interview in Sept. 2002. In a phone call with the FDNY chief regarding building 7, he 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" referring to the demolition of building 7. Larry later explains that "pull it" meant to evacuate firefighters, but there were no firefighters in the building at that time! Also, the FDNY is not equipped or trained to "pull" Building 7 in a controlled demolition as Larry stated. Nor can any building be prepared for such a well-designed demolition in the few minutes after Larry asked to "pull it". Coincidentally, Silverstein assumed a 99-year lease on the WTC Towers on July 24, just six weeks before Sept. 11. After the attacks, Larry boldly asserted he was entitled to twice the insurance policy value because "The two hijacked airliners that struck the 110-story twin towers Sept. 11 were separate ‘occurrences’ for insurance purposes, entitling him to collect twice on $3.6 billion collective worth of the policies, or $7.2 billion." (Do you think he wanted building 7 to collapse? The official FEMA report on WTC 7 concludes "The specifics of the fires in WTC 7 and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown at this time." Nice investigation there!) 5. Don’t believe that our government is capable or that ruthless to murder Americans to justify a war in Iraq? Read about "Operation Northwoods", which shows plans that Lyman Lemnitzer and the Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up in 1962 and approved for what may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government. They proposed launching a secret and bloody war of terrorism against their own country in order to trick the American public into supporting an ill-conceived war they intended to launch against Cuba. The plan called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; a commercial plane full of college students to be shot down; a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. They even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." People would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hijacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing they needed to launch their war. 6. Why the strange pattern of debris from Flight 93? Where is the plane? Where are the bodies? Wally Miller, Sumerset County coroner stated, "I stopped being coroner after about 20 minutes because there were no bodies there." Ohio Mayor Michael White reported "A Boeing 767 out of Boston made an emergency landing Tuesday at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport due to concerns that it may have a bomb aboard. The plane had been moved to a secure area of the airport, and was evacuated. United verified the plane as Flight 93, but was deeply concerned about another jetliner in the vicinity, Flight 175." The government claims the plane exploded on impact yet a one-ton section of the engine was found over a mile away and other light debris was found scattered over eight miles away! Several witnesses heard "a loud bang" just before the plane began to drop and others saw a small military type plane flying around shortly before UA93 crashed. Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz said, "The Air Force was tracking the hijacked plane that crashed in Pennsylvania and had been in position to bring it down if necessary." The official theory says Flight 93 crashed at 10:03, but seismic analysis shows 10:06. Is that why there is 3 minutes missing from the CVR and the FBI is still hiding the analysis of the FDR & the air traffic control tape from that flight? How did passengers on flight 93 make cell phone calls while in flight? Regular cell phones don't work on commercial airliners flying at normal altitudes. Don’t believe these calls could’ve been staged? On February 1, 1999, a new voice morphing technology was introduced to Gen. Carl Steiner (former Commander-in-chief, US Special Operations Command) at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. By taking a 10-minute digital recording of Steiner’s voice, scientist George Papcun was able to clone his speech patterns and develop an accurate facsimile so exact, it even fooled Steiner! He was so impressed, he asked for a copy of the tape. 7. The invasion of Iraq was actually planned back in 1992 (during Bush I) by Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Perle, and Lewis Libby in their "Defense Planning Guidance". They later audaciously proposed a basic blueprint for U.S. world domination in PNAC’s "Rebuilding America’s Defenses". PNAC’s Sept. 2000 Statement of Principles - which states "the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor" - would consequently advance their policies, i.e. justify wars and "regime changes". When they got back into power in 2001 they had an opportunity to enact their plan. The problem was that they needed a catalyst, an event that would justify these invasions. Their operational plans were then drawn up in June 2001, and 9/11 was treated as a Pearl Harbor pretext. Their original basis for war was to unseat the Taliban. They were claiming that the primary reason for these hostilities would be the Taliban's unwillingness to cooperate with UN inspectors, a pretext that would have not gone over well. They received a better pretext for attacking with the 9/11 attacks. Of course what they really wanted was to aggressively expand U.S. (globalist) influence throughout the region, and eventually secure a pipeline through Afghanistan for the benefit of UNOCAL and other big globalist oil companies. Another "smoking gun" is the Downing Street memo, which contains an overview of a secret July 23, 2002 meeting where British intelligence officials visited Washington informing Prime Minister Tony Blair that war was nearly inevitable with Iraq. 8. Usually in high crimes, investigators follow the money trail to find the perpetrator. Not in this case of never-ending coincidences and anomalies. On September 10, ISI agent Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh made a wire transfer of $100,000 to Mohamed Atta's bank account in Florida at the instruction of General Mahmoud Ahmad, the Director of the ISI. "Money man" General Ahmad was in Washington on 9/11, arriving on Sept. 4. He first met with CIA Director George Tenet until Sept. 9, and then met with officials in the Pentagon, the NSC, and the State Department on Sept. 13. The chairmen of the House and Senate Intelligence committees Porter Goss and Bob Graham had breakfast with General Ahmad on Capitol Hill the very morning of Sept. 11! (Can you say conflict of interest?!) Due to pressure from the Bush administration, General Ahmad was subsequently forced to resign on October 8, 2001, effectively blocking any further investigation into the matter. (How convenient!) 9. What ever happened to the Anthrax sent by terrorists? The letters contained a specific type of high quality mil-spec weaponized Anthrax made only by a United States military lab at USAMRIID Fort Detrick, Maryland. When the FBI discovered that the end of the hunt for the sender of the Anthrax letters was not Dr. Assaad the Egyptian, but Dr. Zack, who is Jewish, both the FBI and the media stopped making any public comments on the case! The targets of the anthrax attacks were the Senators who opposed the Patriot Act. (Coincidentally, since Nov. 2001, over 40 microbiologists have died under suspicious circumstances, most specializing in vaccines and bio-weapons research – very suspicious.) And why was Dick Cheney’s staff ordered to take the antibiotic Cipro weeks before the first anthrax attacks began? 10. Why Did the Bush Administration Endorse a Forgery about Iraq’s Nuclear Program? On September 24, 2002, George Tenet, Director of Central Intelligence, stated to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the C.I.A. had recently received "intelligence" showing that, between 1999 and 2001, Iraq had attempted to buy five hundred tons of uranium oxide from Niger. Bush even mentioned this in his State of the Union Message, on January 28, 2003. However, on March 7th 2003, Mohamed ElBaradei, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, in Vienna, told the U.N. Security Council that the documents involving the Niger-Iraq uranium sale were fakes. One senior I.A.E.A. official went further. He told me, "These documents are so bad that I cannot imagine that they came from a serious intelligence agency. It depresses me, given the low quality of the documents, that it was not stopped. At the level it reached, I would have expected more checking." Another official said that the I.A.E.A. has not been able to determine who actually prepared the documents. "It could be someone who intercepted faxes in Israel. We don’t know. Somebody got old letterheads and signatures, and cut and pasted." 11. Where are the flight recorders (black boxes)? The FBI admits the recorders for flights 77 and 93 were found, but were "too damaged to provide any record". As for the WTC planes, two N.Y. City firefighters, Mike Bellone and Nicholas De Masi, claimed that they had found three of these four boxes, but Federal agents took them and told the two men not to mention having found them. Another source from the NTSB also says these boxes "were in fact recovered and were analyzed by the NTSB, but you’d have to get the official word from the FBI as to where they are". (Nice cover-up FBI) 12. Did you know that the 9/11 Commission Executive Director Phillip Zelikow had conflicts of interest with the Bush Administration? Shortly after 9/11 he was on the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board up until he became executive director. He also co-authored a book with Condoleezza Rice about their experiences in the first Bush White House. Chairman Thomas Kean was director of oil giant Amerada Hess; had business ties to Saudi Khalid bin Mahfouz; co-chairman of Homeland Security Project; and CFR member. Furthermore, an official investigation of the attacks cannot be taken seriously when it took 14 months to authorize it, was then underfunded and obstructed, was then staffed only by government insiders who failed to ask hundreds of questions posed by victims’ families and excluded important information provided by whistleblowers, the few documents they were given had to be filtered through the White House for approval, based its whole premise on proving the "official theory", and allowed the FAA timeline to be changed! 13. Why was the budget for the 9/11 Commission investigation initially just $3 million? (Later raised to $15 million) Compare that to the commission budgets for the Space Shuttle Columbia crash and Clinton’s Whitewater scandal which were both given $50 million! Andy why did the Bush Administration wait 411 days to form the 9/11 investigation commission? Compare that to just 6 days for the Titanic, 7 days for JFK, 7 days for the Challenger tragedy, and 9 days for Pearl Harbor. And to top this off, the commission only released 25% of the 11,000 documents requested! (Talk about dragging their feet!) 14. On December 4, 2001 in a Town Hall Meeting in Orange County, President Bush met with displaced workers. Answering Jordan’s question of ‘How did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack?’ he said "I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower - the TV was obviously on." How did Bush see the first plane crash on live T.V. when it wasn’t shown anywhere until September 12? (My guess is he saw it on his closed circuit live camera feed that was already set up to view their operation) 15. Why did put option purchases on United Airlines and American Airlines stock rise above six times the normal levels in the days preceding 9/11? Abundant evidence shows that a number of transactions in financial markets indicated specific (criminal) foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks. Between September 6 and 7, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw purchases of 4,744 put options on UA, but only 396 call options. On September 10, 4,516 put options on AA were bought, compared to only 748 call options. On September 10, the volume of trading in AMR put option contracts increased to 60 times the daily average and almost five times the total of all $30 put options traded before September 10. In the case of at least one of these trades -- which has left a $2.5 million prize unclaimed -- the firm used to place the "put options" on United Airlines stock was, until 1998, managed by A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard who is now Executive Director of the CIA. (You can’t purchase stock, futures, mutual funds or put options without providing your identity! The FBI, CIA and SEC know who made these purchases. Why aren’t they telling anyone else!?) 16. Why were the Bin Laden and Saud families (142 people total) permitted by the FBI and the White House to fly out of the U.S. on private jets on September 13th when all other private flights were still grounded by the FAA? In June of 2004, Tampa Bay International airport verified that this flight indeed took place. And Why did Bush stop all investigations into the Bin Laden family before 9/11? The FBI documents "199-I" (indicating a national security case) show that the FBI was pulled off the trail of Abdullah and Omar bin Laden in 1996 – and reopened Sept.19, 2001, eight days after 9/11. 17. How did they find Mohammed Atta’s and Satam al-Sugami’s passport which magically survived – unscathed – the plane crash, explosion, fire, over 200,000 tons of steel and 425,000 cubic yards of concrete totaling 1.2 million tons of rubble? Yet they can't locate the flight recorders from either plane? And who "found" them and at what time did they "find" these? This is the real outrageous conspiracy theory! (I have an idea, why doesn't Boeing design a new data recorder manufactured from the same indestructible material used to produce magical Saudi passports?) 18. Why are none of the hijackers’ names on the official UA and AA airline passenger lists? In fact, there are no Arabic names whatsoever! And how are 6 (of 19) hijackers still alive and well! The Egyptian lawyer Muhammad Atta, father of engineer Muhammad al-Ameer Atta, denied his son's involvement in these operations. In a statement to the London- based al-Sharq al-Awsat daily, Muhammad explained that his son phoned him after the attacks and did not talk about the 9/11 incidents. He expressed his conviction that his son’s identity was kidnapped and believes the Israeli Mossad murdered him a day later. 19. You may ask how and when the bombs were planted in the towers. There were plenty of opportunities to plant bombs with low risk of detection. Here are a few examples: Ben Fountain, a 42 year old financial analyst who worked in the South Tower, said the weeks before 9/11 there were numerous unanswered and unusual drills where sections of both the Twin Towers and WTC 7 were evacuated for "security reasons". Bomb-sniffing dogs were inexplicably removed from the Twin Towers five days before 9/11 Scott Forbes, working for Fiduciary Trust in the 97th floor of the South Tower, reported that there was a 36 hour "power down" in the upper half of the South Tower on September 8–9 to complete a "cabling upgrade," where security systems consequently were shut down and many workers ran around busily doing things unobserved. They were informed by Port Authority three weeks prior to this. Yet another coincidence, a Bush-linked company, Stratesec, handled security for three clients that figured prominently in the attack - United Airlines; Dulles International Airport where AA FL 77 was hijacked; and the World Trade Center itself. The President’s brother, Marvin P. Bush, and his cousin, Wirt D. Walker III, were principals in Stratesec, with Walker acting as CEO from 1999 until January 2002 and Marvin reportedly in New York on 9/11. 20. Why were General Richard Myers of the Joint Chief of Staff and Senator Max Cleland in a meeting on September 11th, until after the Pentagon was struck, completely unaware of the attacks? Why did General Montague Winfield, the Director of the NMCC or "war room" located in the Pentagon, request on September 10th that someone stand in for him in the "war room" on September 11th, between 8:30am and 10:30am? 21. On Wednesday September 12th, 2001, Tom Kenney, a spokesman for FEMA’s "National Urban Search and Rescue Team" during an interview on national TV with CBS News anchor Dan Rather, let slip a frightening truth. Mr. Kennedy told Dan Rather, "We were one of the first teams that was deployed to support the City of New York in this disaster. We arrived on late Monday night, September 10th, and went right into action on Tuesday morning", September 11th. This was validated by former NY Mayor, Rudy Giuliani when he testified to the 9-11 Commission during the May 18-19, 2004 hearings in NY that FEMA was in fact there the day before for a Project "TRIPOD II" terror drill that was scheduled for 9/12! (What a coincidence!) Yet FEMA denies all of this! 22. Mayor Giuliani in an interview with Peter Jennings on ABC News stated: "We were operating out of there [the Emergency Command Center on the 23rd floor of WTC-7] when we were told that the World Trade Center was gonna collapse, and it did collapse before we could get out of the building." What a remarkable statement. There was no publicly available reason to believe that the towers were going to collapse. After all, steel-frame high-rise buildings had never before collapsed because of fire. Yet Giuliani’s statement suggests that he somehow knew - he says he was told by someone - that the towers were going to collapse. (Who told him the towers were about to collapse? How could anyone have known this in advance unless it was a planned demolition?) 23. On October 26, 2001 George Bush signed the misnamed USA PATRIOT Act, which was proposed just five days after 9/11! Just six weeks later this bill was passed! It is IMPOSSIBLE for a bill to be conceived, written, debated, and passed this quickly. You see, they had already written the bill BEFORE 9-11, and needed this disaster to justify its passage. In addition, testimony by Rep. Ron Paul revealed that most members of Congress were compelled to vote for the bill without even reading it. This was a vote to eliminate the Constitutional Bill of Rights, which has defined American freedom for 200 years, and it was accomplished when legislators voted for the bill without even reading it! 24. Did you know that initially the military reported on 9/11 that no fighters were sent up to intercept the hijacked planes until after the Pentagon was hit? Later the same week, the military put out a second story, saying that it had sent up fighters but because the FAA had been late in notifying it about the hijackings, the fighters arrived too late. The 9/11 Commission also reported a third version that the FAA gave the military insufficient warning of the first hijacked airline and no warning of the other hijackings until after they had crashed. (Why did the military change their story three times?) 25. Did you know the District of Columbia Air National Guard website Mission statement was significantly changed immediately after 9/11? The DCANG mission BEFORE 9/11 read: "To provide combat units in the highest possible state of readiness. We will support the Air Force and other DOD agencies. We will provide operational support to our local communities whenever possible." The DCANG mission statement AFTER 9/11 reads: "Capital Guardians, patriotic Americans, supporting and defending the United States of America and the Nation's Capital when directed by the President in order to assure the survival and success of liberty." The post 9/11 mission now has to be directed by the President in order to do anything. (What a peculiar and coincidental change!?) 26. Did you know that the U.S. financed, armed, and trained Al Qaeda? After Russian troops invaded Afghanistan in 1979, the CIA financed (with billions of dollars), armed, and trained bin Laden and thousands of other Mujahideen rebels. (Reagan called them "freedom fighters") The name "al-Qaeda" as an organization was first used in early 2001, when the U.S. government decided to prosecute Bin Laden in his absence (for the Aug ‘98 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 people) and had to use anti-Mafia laws that required the existence of a named criminal organization. 27. What about the President’s odd behavior at the elementary school? After hearing about the second plane attack, President Bush sat down with a classroom of second-graders and began a 20-minute pre-planned photo op. Bush's behavior is made even more astounding by the fact that his Secret Service would have had to assume that he was one of the intended targets. One Secret Service agent, seeing the television coverage of the crash of the second airliner into the WTC, reportedly said: "We're out of here." He was obviously overruled. Why wasn’t he immediately whisked out and protected? The terrorists could have targeted the President along with the 200+ people at the school? The Secret Service breached all standard procedures and allowed President Bush to remain at a highly publicized location for 25 minutes after it was known that the nation was under attack! 28. Did you know that there is a remarkable ‘signature" of the 9/11 attacks? They occurred exactly 11 years to the day after President George Bush Senior gave a major address to Congress entitled, "Toward a New World Order". That address was on SEPTEMBER 11, 1990. Precisely 11 years to the day later, American Airlines Flight 11 started the attacks of 9-11-2001 when it slammed into the north tower of the World Trade Center. The towers, of course, symbolized a huge 11 over the skies of New York. The Pentagon was modeled after the satanic symbol of the pentagram. Another fact about the Pentagon is that its ground-breaking ceremony, and beginning of construction, took place on SEPTEMBER 11th 1941. Of course, 911 has been the emergency phone number in the U.S. since the 1970's. What better way to start an era of a perpetual war, and a perpetual state of emergency, than using a date that was already numerically etched into the minds of people as a number associated with "EMERGENCY"? Numerology and symbolism are very important to the occult, to which many of our leaders belong. And their main goal is a "New World Order", with them in charge. Occultists believe the Number ‘11’ is an important number of the coming Antichrist. God assigns the number ‘11’ to the Antichrist in Daniel 7:7-8.   These are just a few of the hundreds of unanswered questions that the Bush administration doesn’t want you to know. If you simply study the facts, you will see that the official incompetence theory is the real "outrageous theory". What’s it all for? Power and Money. The truth of 9/11 is difficult for most people to swallow because it takes them down roads they don’t want to go. I’m not paving the road to tyranny; I’m just exposing it! The more you research 9/11, the more you will find the hand of intelligence involved at every single step of this elaborate cover-up. This truth needs to be exposed before their next attack aimed at furthering their agenda. Knowing the truth will make sense of the chaos America is going through like the lies we’ve been told about the Saddam-9/11 connection and WMD’s, illegal torturing and murders at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, the never-ending Iraq War soon to move to Iran and Syria, the NSA secretly spying on Americans (and getting away with it), the Bird Flu pandemic (soon to be released on America so the feds will enact their martial law/police state), RFID chips that are implanted in your arm (or your child’s) for your own "protection", the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (North American Union) that will take away America's borders, America's money (turned into Amero's) and America's sovereignty, etc. You will also realize why PATRIOT Act I and II were rushed through Congress without being read and how these laws actually take away our rights like: 1st Amendment - Freedom of religion, speech, assembly, and the press. 4th Amendment - Freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. 5th Amendment - No person to be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. 6th Amendment - Right to a speedy public trial by an impartial jury, right to be informed of the facts of the accusation, right to confront witnesses and have the assistance of counsel. 8th Amendment - No excessive bail or cruel and unusual punishment shall be imposed. 14th Amendment - All persons (citizens and noncitizens) within the US are entitled to due process and the equal protection of the laws. Where will these global elites/terrorists stop? Hopefully before America’s downfall and impending tyranny. I close off with a few of my favorite quotes: "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security deserves neither and will lose both." - Benjamin Franklin "Terrorism does not justify the neglect of accepted legal norms. This is how we distinguish ourselves from the terrorists themselves." - Ahron Barak "…the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." - Hermann Goering, Hitler’s Reich Marshal, at the Nuremberg Trials after World War II. "America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." - Abraham Lincoln "If tyranny and oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." - James Madison "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." - Franklin D. Roosevelt "If this were a Dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier... just as long as I'm the Dictator." - George Bush (Dec 18, 2000) "When the Government fears the People, there is Liberty. When the People fear the Government, there is Tyranny." - Thomas Jefferson "In the beginning of a change the Patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot." - Mark Twain "All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing." - Edmund Burke "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." - Franklin D. Roosevelt Wed, 23 Aug 2006 15:45:34 -0700 http://www.911truthseekers.org/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=47 http://www.911truthseekers.org/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=46 9/11 was an Inside Job!Here’s “bulletproof” evidence… The impact hole at the Pentagon was 16 by 20 feet – much too small for a Boeing 757 commercial jetliner with a 125-foot wingspan. The only engine found was a 3-foot engine, similar to a global hawk engine. A Boeing 757 Rolls Royce RB211 steel engine is 9-feet tall! Why did the FBI seize all other videos of the crash? (Sheraton hotel, Citgo gas station) Why didn’t any of the Pentagon’s five antiaircraft batteries shoot the plane down? Throughout history, there has never been an example of steel-structured buildings collapsing due to fire. On 9/11, there were 3! During the collapse of the World Trade Center, you can see demolition squibs several floors down from the large debris wave. How did the towers fall at free-fall speed, straight down, under 10 seconds! These N.Y. Firefighters (and dozens of others) heard explosions in the building “as if bombs were planted”. Why didn’t CNN or FOX show these witnesses? View this video clip here: http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/wtc2_cutter.html Larry Silverstein in a PBS interview recalls his order to “Pull” WTC Building 7. “Pull” is a Demolition term to bring a building down. He admitted this! No plane hit Building 7, yet on 9/11 it collapsed. The official theory blames it on the small fires inside the building. Like the Twin Towers, demolition squibs can be seen during the 6 second “free fall” collapse of building 7. Don’t let the corporate media brainwash you!
