911 Quotes From The U.K

Matthew Bellamy

Recording artist and performer. Lead guitarist for Muse

Bellamy is convinced the US government knows more information surrounding the attack on their country in September 2001 than the public is aware of.

The outspoken singer says:

"September 11 is clearly an inside job, there's massive evidence that suggests that it was either allowed to happen or even worse, deliberately made to happen. ...

There was a document called Project For The New America Century which was made by neo-Con (right wing) writers in the 90s who supplied most of the agenda that (George W) Bush is putting into place now, which clearly says, 'We need a Pearl Harbour-level of event so we can have an excuse to invade the Middle East."

Guitarist for the corrs

"What we are seeing is tip-toe totalitarianism in the West with 9/11 the key to understanding this. "When you study 9/11 it becomes very apparent... it was a staged terrorist attack, what they call a false flag operation." The Dundalk-born member of the Corrs recently provoked controversy when he claimed rogue elements of the Bush administration were responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Corr said overwhelming evidence suggests 9/11 "was carried out by rogue elements in the Bush neo-con administration...

: 'I'd stand for election to save Ireland from the Freemasons'

Singer cites secret societies and microchipping among his fears

Musician Jim Corr has revealed he would like to contest a future general election to oppose plans for a world government.

The Dundalk-born member of the Corrs recently provoked controversy when he claimed rogue elements of the Bush administration were responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

In an interview with the Sunday Tribune, the pop star spoke about his political ambitions and his belief that the government is populated by members of the Freemasons.

Corr explained: "I love playing music but I wouldn't rule anything out down the line. I imagine it would be an incredibly difficult job but if I felt we were going in such a bad direction, then maybe I would stand. I would be an independent because I am not affiliated with any political party."

However he admits to have been drawn to Sinn Féin during the public vote on the Lisbon Treaty. "Certainly the views of one party did resonate a bit more with me this time. Because of what we've experienced as a nation. Six hundred years of tyranny under the British establishment. We cannot forget that and here we are giving away our national However he admits to have been drawn to Sinn Féin during the public vote on the Lisbon Treaty. "Certainly the views of one party did resonate a bit more with me this time. Because of what we've experienced as a nation. Six hundred years of tyranny under the British establishment. We cannot forget that and here we are giving away our national sovereignty to a new European federal state."

The 43-year-old was a vocal anti-Lisbon Treaty campaigner and he does not regret his much-published outburst which has been perceived as anti-American.

Corr claimed explosives had been planted in the Twin Towers and that evidence had been disposed of by New York mayor Rudy Giuliani.

"There was a backlash against me in the media and I fully expected it. But I tell you what, I was very surprised and overwhelmed by the support I got from people. This came through texts and emails that were read out on radio stations. It meant a hell of a lot to me and I just want to say thank you to the people who supported me."

Today FM's Gift Grub comedy slot produced a sketch on the controversy but Corr believes there was more to it than meets the eye.

"I heard that sketch, and while I laughed, I tell you the guy who wrote it knows an awful lot more than he is letting on. About the whole conspiracy in general. It was in his wording. He was clued in. I'm not going to be specific about it but it was clever in the way it was done."

Separated from former fiancée Gayle Williamson since 2006, Corr spends most of his time looking after his property investments and travelling back and forth to Belfast to see their son Brandon (1).

Brandon's arrival last year also had a part in the politicisation of Jim Corr. "When you have children there is an extension of you into the future. You think, hang on, this may not affect me but what on earth is it going to be like for my children? You start to ask questions."

Questions like: if, according to Corr, 40% of Fianna Fáil and 50% of Fine Gael were against the Lisbon Treaty, why were so many of the country's politicians pushing to get it through?

"There are a large number of secret societies in our government, we certainly know that. The push towards global government totally correlates with the Freemasonic agenda. The way it works is that once they see a rising star, let's say a politician, they're approached, as a couple of my friends have been approached, because they would see you as an asset to the brotherhood. Tony Blair is a 33rd degree Freemason. That's fairly common knowledge. Sure the Queen is grand patroness of the World Freemasonry. Silvio Berlusconi is a high level Freemason. President George Bush is a member of the Skull and Bones, the Yale secret society, which is an off-shoot of the Freemasons."

While Corr says he doesn't know if Taoiseach Brian Cowen is a Freemason, he fears that despite the No vote, we need to keep an eye on Europe.

"I am talking about scientific issues.

What about the third tower - the so-called World Trade Centre Building 7 (or the Salomon Brothers Building) - which collapsed in 6.6 seconds in its own footprint at 5.20 pm on 11 September? Why did it so neatly fall to the ground when no aircraft had hit it? "

Such a sophisticated operation, Werthebach said, would require the "fixed frame" of a stateintelligence organization, something not found in a "loose group" of terrorists like the one allegedly led by Mohammed Atta while he studied in Hamburg.

Many people would have been involved in the planning of such an operation and Werthebach pointed to the absence of leaks as further indication that the attacks were "state organized actions."

("[T]he Bush administration has never offered a detailed and documented account of its claims about the events of 9-11 which have allegedly revolutionized human affairs. Nor has it explained obvious and serious discrepancies in its own statements and actions. No systematic proof has ever been published or offered as to who the terrorists were, how they operated, where they came from, and why they were not stopped. ...

The Kean-Hamilton panel's limited funding from Congress makes a mockery of the tragedy of 9-11, considering that it is only a small fraction of the huge sums spent to investigate Bill Clinton. ...

We therefore call upon statesmen, thinkers, journalists, investigators, artists, scientists, jurists, academics, humanitarians, religious leaders, activists and other eminent personalities from around the world to form an Independent International Truth Commission dedicated to preventing unproven assertions about 9-11 from setting the stage for a new world conflagration." http://iitc.911review.org/

Juliet Binoche:

"A Few Days in September" is witty and clever, but there is a serious point behind it - with which Binoche is more than a little obsessed. She describes it as a dramatised version of the events depicted in Michael Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 9/11. It alleges that various vested interests - including state security services around the world - knew what was about to happen on September 11, 2001.

While preparing for the role Binoche had long conversations with a secret agent, who consulted on the film and on whom she modelled her character. "Of course he could not reveal everything to me, but he said a lot," she says. "Some things I forgot because it was just too much. Certain things I was very amazed by and when I told people close to me about them they just wouldn't believe it. Everything in there is true,

So is she saying the film is a dramatisation of real events? "Absolutely," she says. "I went to see the Iranian ambassador at the time and he said of course it's true. Things that I thought were hidden and private... they were very open about it." So she means the CIA and other agencies knew 9/11 was going to happen? "Of course." So is she saying it was an inside job? Or that al-Qaeda was responsible? "Everybody is responsible for it. If you only knew more, it's even more depressing." http://www.telegraph.co.uk 9/1/07

[Apparently referring to the second airplane impact into WTC South Tower] Flames coming out. This billowing gray smoke. People still not panicking. People not quite understanding what was going on. Then somebody said that they saw an airliner go into one of those towers. Then, I don't know, an hour later than that, we had that big explosion, from much, much lower. I don't know what on earth caused that." Initiation of collapse begins a few seconds later in the interview.

Essay Even I Question the 'Truth' about 9/11 8/25/07

"I am increasingly troubled at the inconsistencies in the official account of 9/11. It's not just the obvious non sequiturs: where are the aircraft parts (engines, etc) from the narrative of the attack on the Pentagon? Why have the officials involved in the United 93 flight (which crashed in Pennsylvania) been muzzled? Why did flight 93's debris spread over miles when it was supposed to have crashed in one piece in a field? ..."

I am talking about scientific issues. If it is true, for example, that kerosene burns at 820C under optimum conditions, how come the steel beams of the twin towers - whose melting point is supposed to be about 1,480C - would snap through at the same time? (They collapsed in 8.1 and 10 seconds.) What about the third tower - the so-called World Trade Centre Building 7 (or the Salomon Brothers Building) - which collapsed in 6.6 seconds in its own footprint at 5.20 pm on 11 September? Why did it so neatly fall to the ground when no aircraft had hit it? The American National Institute of Standards and Technology was instructed to analyse the cause of the destruction of all three buildings. They have not yet reported on WTC 7. ...

Let me repeat. I am not a conspiracy theorist. Spare me the ravers. Spare me the plots. But like everyone else, I would like to know the full story of 9/11, not least because it was the trigger for the whole lunatic, meretricious "war on terror" which has led us to disaster in Iraq and Afghanistan and in much of the Middle East." http://news.independent.co.uk

He usually worked on the 97th floor of the south tower WTC 2. Luckily he had the day off on tues 9/11. Many of his work colleagues and close friends didn't make it out alive that day.

He reports that the Port Authority notified them some 3-4 weeks in advance, that there would be a 36 hour power down in the top half of WTC 2, on the weekend before 9/11, due to re-cabling work. He had the day off on 9/11 because he had worked all weekend. He was working on the power shutdown and on the consequent start up of the I.T systems. He was at home watching the terrible events from his apartment window.

Such a power down was unprecedented and had never happened since he started work in June 1998. It shutdown all financial systems, all connections with the outside world, all security locks, cameras, lighting etc. In effect it enabled free access to the building.

Michael Meacher:

Michael Meacher From The Guardian, Sept 6th 2003.

"Massive attention has now been given - and rightly so - to the reasons why Britain went to war against Iraq. But far too little attention has focused on why the US went to war, and that throws light on British motives too. The conventional explanation is that after the Twin Towers were hit, retaliation against al-Qaida bases in Afghanistan was a natural first step in launching a global war against terrorism. Then, because Saddam Hussein was alleged by the US and UK governments to retain weapons of mass destruction, the war could be extended to Iraq as well. However this theory does not fit all the facts. The truth may be a great deal murkier. We now know that a blueprint for the creation of a global Pax Americana was drawn up for Dick Cheney (now vice-president), Donald Rumsfeld (defence secretary), Paul Wolfowitz (Rumsfeld's deputy), Jeb Bush (George Bush's younger brother) and Lewis Libby (Cheney's chief of staff). The document, entitled Rebuilding America's Defences, was written in September 2000 by the neoconservative think tank, Project for the New American Century (PNAC).

The plan shows Bush's cabinet intended to take military control of the Gulf region whether or not Saddam Hussein was in power. It says "while the unresolved conflict with Iraq provides the immediate justification, the need for a substantial American force presence in the Gulf transcends the issue of the regime of Saddam Hussein."

The PNAC blueprint supports an earlier document attributed to Wolfowitz and Libby which said the US must "discourage advanced industrial nations from challenging our leadership or even aspiring to a larger regional or global role". It refers to key allies such as the UK as "the most effective and efficient means of exercising American global leadership". It describes peacekeeping missions as "demanding American political leadership rather than that of the UN". It says "even should Saddam pass from thescene", US bases in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait will remain permanently... as "Iran may well prove as large a threat to US interests as Iraq has". It spotlights China for "regime change", saying "it is time to increase the presence of American forces in SE Asia".

Finally - written a year before 9/11 - it pinpoints North Korea, Syria and Iran as dangerous regimes, and says their existence justifies the creation of a "worldwide command and control system". This is a blueprint for US world domination. But before it is dismissed as an agenda for rightwing fantasists, it is clear it provides a much better explanation of what actually happened before, during and after 9/11 than the global war on terrorism thesis. This can be seen in several ways.

First, it is clear the US authorities did little or nothing to pre-empt the events of 9/11. It is known that at least 11 countries provided advance warning to the US of the 9/11 attacks. Two senior Mossad experts were sent to Washington in August 2001 to alert the CIA and FBI to a cell of 200 terrorists said to be preparing a big operation (Daily Telegraph, September 16 2001). The list they provided included the names of four of the 9/11 hijackers, none of whom was arrested.

It had been known as early as 1996 that there were plans to hit Washington targets with aeroplanes. Then in 1999 a US national intelligence council report noted that "al-Qaida suicide bombers could crash-land an aircraft packed with high explosives into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the CIA, or the White House".

Fifteen of the 9/11 hijackers obtained their visas in Saudi Arabia. Michael Springman, the former head of the American visa bureau in Jeddah, has stated that since 1987 the CIA had been illicitly issuing visas to unqualified applicants from the Middle East and bringing them to the US for training in terrorism for the Afghan war in collaboration with Bin Laden (BBC, November 6 2001). It seems this operation continued after the Afghan war for other purposes. It is also reported that five of the hijackers received training at secure US military installations in the 1990s (Newsweek, September 15 2001). Instructive leads prior to 9/11 were not followed up. French Moroccan flight student Zacarias Moussaoui (now thought to be the 20th hijacker) was arrested in August 2001 after an instructor reported he showed a suspicious interest in learning how to steer large airliners. When US agents learned from French intelligence he had radical Islamist ties, they sought a warrant to search his computer, which contained clues to the September 11 mission (Times, November 3 2001). But they were turned down by the FBI. One agent wrote, a month before 9/11, that Moussaoui might be planning to crash into the Twin Towers (Newsweek, May 20 2002).

All of this makes it all the more astonishing - on the war on terrorism perspective - that there was such slow reaction on September 11 itself. The first hijacking was suspected at not later than 8.20am, and the last hijacked aircraft crashed in Pennsylvania at 10.06am. Not a single fighter plane was scrambled to investigate from the US Andrews airforce base, just 10 miles from Washington DC, until after the third plane had hit the Pentagon at 9.38 am. Why not? There were standard FAA intercept procedures for hijacked aircraft before 9/11. Between September 2000 and June 2001 the US military launched fighter aircraft on 67 occasions to chase suspicious aircraft (AP, August 13 2002). It is a US legal requirement that once an aircraft has moved significantly off its flight plan, fighter planes are sent up to investigate.

Was this inaction simply the result of key people disregarding, or being ignorant of, the evidence? Or could US air security operations have been deliberately stood down on September 11? If so, why, and on whose authority? The former US federal crimes prosecutor, John Loftus, has said: "The information provided by European intelligence services prior to 9/11 was so extensive that it is no longer possible for either the CIA or FBI to assert a defence of incompetence."

Nor is the US response after 9/11 any better. No serious attempt has ever been made to catch Bin Laden. In late September and early October 2001, leaders of Pakistan's two Islamist parties negotiated Bin Laden's extradition to Pakistan to stand trial for 9/11. However, a US official said, significantly, that "casting our objectives too narrowly" risked "a premature collapse of the international effort if by some lucky chance Mr Bin Laden was captured". The US chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, General Myers, went so far as to say that "the goal has never been to get Bin Laden" (AP, April 5 2002). The whistleblowing FBI agent Robert Wright told ABC News (December 19 2002) that FBI headquarters wanted no arrests. And in November 2001 the US airforce complained it had had al-Qaida and Taliban leaders in its sights as many as 10 times over the previous six weeks, but had been unable to attack because they did not receive permission quickly enough (Time Magazine, May 13 2002). None of this assembled evidence, all of which comes from sources already in the public domain, is compatible with the idea of a real, determined war on terrorism.

The catalogue of evidence does, however, fall into place when set against the PNAC blueprint. From this it seems that the so-called "war on terrorism" is being used largely as bogus cover for achieving wider US strategic geopolitical objectives. Indeed Tony Blair himself hinted at this when he said to the Commons liaison committee: "To be truthful about it, there was no way we could have got the public consent to have suddenly launched a campaign on Afghanistan but for what happened on September 11" (Times, July 17 2002). Similarly Rumsfeld was so determined to obtain a rationale for an attack on Iraq that on 10 separate occasions he asked the CIA to find evidence linking Iraq to 9/11; the CIA repeatedly came back empty-handed (Time Magazine, May 13 2002).

In fact, 9/11 offered an extremely convenient pretext to put the PNAC plan into action. The evidence again is quite clear that plans for military action against Afghanistan and Iraq were in hand well before 9/11. A report prepared for the US government from the Baker Institute of Public Policy stated in April 2001 that "the US remains a prisoner of its energy dilemma. Iraq remains a destabilising influence to... the flow of oil to international markets from the Middle East". Submitted to Vice-President Cheney's energy task group, the report recommended that because this was an unacceptable risk to the US, "military intervention" was necessary (Sunday Herald, October 6 2002).

Similar evidence exists in regard to Afghanistan. The BBC reported (September 18 2001) that Niaz Niak, a former Pakistan foreign secretary, was told by senior American officials at a meeting in Berlin in mid-July 2001 that "military action against Afghanistan would go ahead by the middle of October". Until July 2001 the US government saw the Taliban regime as a source of stability in Central Asia that would enable the construction of hydrocarbon pipelines from the oil and gas fields in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, through Afghanistan and Pakistan, to the Indian Ocean. But, confronted with the Taliban's refusal to accept US conditions, the US representatives told them "either you accept our offer of a carpet of gold, or we bury you under a carpet of bombs" (Inter Press Service, November 15 2001).

Given this background, it is not surprising that some have seen the US failure to avert the 9/11 attacks as creating an invaluable pretext for attacking Afghanistan in a war that had clearly already been well planned in advance. There is a possible precedent for this. The US national archives reveal that President Roosevelt used exactly this approach in relation to Pearl Harbor on December 7 1941. Some advance warning of the attacks was received, but the information never reached the US fleet. The ensuing national outrage persuaded a reluctant US public to join the second world war. Similarly the PNAC blueprint of September 2000 states that the process of transforming the US into "tomorrow's dominant force" is likely to be a long one in the absence of "some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor". The 9/11 attacks allowed the US to press the "go" button for a strategy in accordance with the PNAC agenda which it would otherwise have been politically impossible to implement.

The overriding motivation for this political smokescreen is that the US and the UK are beginning to run out of secure hydrocarbon energy supplies. By 2010 the Muslim world will control as much as 60% of the world's oil production and, even more importantly, 95% of remaining global oil export capacity. As demand is increasing, so supply is decreasing, continually since the 1960s.

This is leading to increasing dependence on foreign oil supplies for both the US and the UK. The US, which in 1990 produced domestically 57% of its total energy demand, is predicted to produce only 39% of its needs by 2010. A DTI minister has admitted that the UK could be facing "severe" gas shortages by 2005. The UK government has confirmed that 70% of our electricity will come from gas by 2020, and 90% of that will be imported. In that context it should be noted that Iraq has 110 trillion cubic feet of gas reserves in addition to its oil.

A report from the commission on America's national interests in July 2000 noted that the most promising new source of world supplies was the Caspian region, and this would relieve US dependence on Saudi Arabia. To diversify supply routes from the Caspian, one pipeline would run westward via Azerbaijan and Georgia to the Turkish port of Ceyhan. Another would extend eastwards through Afghanistan and Pakistan and terminate near the Indian border. This would rescue Enron's beleaguered power plant at Dabhol on India's west coast, in which Enron had sunk $3bn investment and whose economic survival was dependent on access to cheap gas.

Nor has the UK been disinterested in this scramble for the remaining world supplies of hydrocarbons, and this may partly explain British participation in US military actions. Lord Browne, chief executive of BP, warned Washington not to carve up Iraq for its own oil companies in the aftermath of war (Guardian, October 30 2002). And when a British foreign minister met Gadaffi in his desert tent in August 2002, it was said that "the UK does not want to lose out to other European nations already jostling for advantage when it comes to potentially lucrative oil contracts" with Libya (BBC Online, August 10 2002).

The conclusion of all this analysis must surely be that the "global war on terrorism" has the hallmarks of a political myth propagated to pave the way for a wholly different agenda - the US goal of world hegemony, built around securing by force command over the oil supplies required to drive the whole project. Is collusion in this myth and junior participation in this project really a proper aspiration for British foreign policy? If there was ever need to justify a more objective British stance, driven by our own independent goals, this whole depressing saga surely provides all the evidence needed for a radical change of course.

COL Pierre Henri BunelI

"This image of the impact on the Pentagon is very instructive as to the nature of the explosion. ... It corresponds to a detonation of an explosive with high energetic power. The explosion does not correspond to a deflagration of kerosene [as would result from the impact of an airliner]. ... "One distinguishes at ground level, starting from the right-hand side of the photo and going to the base of the mass of white vapor, a white line of smoke. ... As opposed to the smoke that would come out of two kerosene-fueled engines, this smoke is white. The turbojets of a Boeing 757 would in fact leave a trail of much blacker smoke. The examination of this photo alone already suggests a single engine flying vehicle much smaller in size than an airliner. ...

The last photo was produced by the Department of Defense and published on a Navy Web site. In examining it, one can see an almost circular hole topped by a black smudge, This perforation is about seven feet in diameter and is situated in the wall of the third line of buildings working inward from the fa�ade. It is supposed to have been made by the nose of the plane. That would mean that the nose of the aircraft, a radome of carbon fiber that is far from being armored, would have traversed without destroying them six load-bearing walls of building considered to be rather solid. ... The appearance of the perforation in the wall certainly resembles the effects of anti-concrete hollow charges that I have been able to observe on a number of battlefields. ...

This photo, and the effects described in the official version, lead me therefore to think that the detonation that struck the building was that of a high-powered hollow charge used to destroy hardened buildings and carried by an aerial vehicle, a missile." http://www.voltairenet )

Cossiga

From areas around the Palazzo Chigi, nerve centre of direction of Italian intelligence, it is noted that the non-authenticity of the video is supported by the fact that Osama bin Laden in it 'confessed' that Al Qaeda was responsible for the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in New York. However, all of the democratic areas of America and of Europe, with the Italian center-left in the forefront, now know full well that the disastrous attack was planned and executed by the American CIA and Mossad with the help of the Zionist world to falsely incriminate Arabic countries and to persuade the Western Powers to intervene in Iraq and Afghanistan." Original article in Italian http://www.corriere.it

"Cossiga indicated his suspicion that the attacks presupposed some form of complicity within the US security system. The mastermind of the attack, Cossiga observed must have been a "sophisticated mind, provided with ample means not only to recruit fanatic kamikazes, but also highly specialized personnel. I add one thing: it could not be accomplished without infiltrations in the radar and flight security personnel." As for Bin Laden, Cossiga added that "it is not thinkable that he did everything by himself." (La Stampa 9/14/01, EIR 9/15/01) (p. 36) http://www.indymedia.org

Dario Fo

(Article Premier of the Documentary Zero: An Investigation Into 9/11 10/26/07: " 'Bullshit invented by a general' is how Nobel Prize winner for Literature Dario Fo describes the official version of the attacks on the Twin Towers. The actor and director is convinced of this version of events in no uncertain terms, and this version is told in Zero: An Investigation Into 9/11, the documentary by Claudio Fracassi and Francesco Trento, which has been submitted to the Rome film festival.

Fo, with Lella Costa, Moni Ovadia and Gore Vidal, is one of the narrators of the film, which is not fiction, and is the result of an investigation by Giulietto Chiesa [Member of Parliament of the European Union], that provides witness accounts and reconstruction of events which cast doubt on the official version of 9/11 provided by the USA. ...

The playwright explains "The authors of Zero did not begin the project with preconceived ideas but instead created the documentary based on the truths that emerged. What they ask of you is to watch the film critically."

Fo says, "As far as 9/11 is concerned, some of the situations we have been told are not only unlikely but also grotesque. They sound like a General's bullshit, who is normally capable of very crooked inventions, also thanks to the funny cap he wears". He also added, "Ever since Kennedy's murder I

have used the unlikely explanations given by the US Government on some events as material for four of my shows; they are sometimes really an insult to people's intelligence." http://www.agenziaradicale.com

Documentary Film Zero: An Investigation Into 9/11 10/26/07:

Dario Fo, regarding events at the World Trade Center: "The two towers shake considerably with the first impact, but they immediately return to their original structural position. Why? Because they were specifically designed to do this in the event of a plane crash. ...

We have been told, by the very people who designed and built these towers, that they should have resisted the impact of more than one airplane. ...

In 2005 there was a fearsome conflagration in Madrid. A skyscraper went up in flames. It was a huge torch that kept burning for 20 hours -- 20 consecutive hours. But in the end the load-bearing structure remained intact. The skyscraper did not fall down.

As you can see, the [Madrid] building is enveloped in flames. This skyscraper was not yet complete. It was still under construction. Nevertheless it remained standing. Something you should note is the white color of the flames. This means that there is a lot of oxygen burning.

If you look at the flames coming from the two towers in New York we can see instead that the flames are dark red and the smoke is black. ... Nevertheless 55 minutes later the whole tower collapses.

According to the official NIST version of events, at a certain point, the steel structure of the towers gave way. It no longer had the structural strength that it had at the beginning and all of this was supposed to be because of the immense heat.

And here there is something difficult to explain. We know that at some point certain people managed to walk down from the top of this tower and crossed the point where the fire was strongest. Somehow they reached the bottom of the tower. How did they manage to do that?"

Dario Fo, regarding the events at the Pentagon: "According to the official version, the American Airlines Boeing 757 disappeared inside this hole. Can you see it? 5 meters, I repeat 5 meters, in diameter. Let's make some calculations. A Boeing 757 is, including its wingspan of course, 38 meters wide. And including the rudder, or the tailfin, it is 13 and a half meters high. To get all of this huge aircraft into a hole 5 meters wide seems rather implausible to me! ...

One very strange thing that doesn't make sense is the disappearance of various components of this Boeing. For example the two engines. And what about the planes wings -- where did they go? Had they been "gasified"?

Instead we are told the fuselage remained intact and it smashed through the whole outer wall of the Pentagon and emerged through the other side, destroying a number of columns.

We said that the most solid part of the airplane is without any doubt the engines. In fact, these engines are made of a titanium-steel alloy. It is so tough that it doesn't even melt at 3 thousand degrees centigrade. Well now, in this wall we should be able to see, if nothing else, the holes made by the two engines that smashed into it. No! There is no sign of them. The two holes that we'd expect to see are not there. ...

In the light of what we've seen and heard it seems that the official version of 9/11 is not completely adequate. We want the facts to be explained to us and above all to be clearly analyzed. Basically, we want someone to finally tell us the truth. Bio http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/literature

Ferdinando Imposimato

Essay Two Towers of Lies 4/9/07: "The basic thesis of my book (La Grande Menzogna, 2006), which is based on documents, declarations, testimonies, legal proceedings and the results of investigations by American commissions is simple: the War in Iraq was not the just and unavoidable answer of the United States and Great Britain to the attack on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, which they blamed on the treachery and malice of Saddam Hussein and who they also claimed was guilty of attempting to obtain atomic weapons in order to destroy the unsuspecting and innocent America.

In reality, the War in Iraq, waged against the will of the overwhelming majority of world-wide public opinion, Pope John Paul II, and the United Nations, although it was launched 20 March 2003, had been planned for a long time before that. There were multiple objectives for the War: the conquest of the oil resources of the Middle East, the extension of the imperial dominion of the United States and the

support to the war industry of America, which spends 450 billions of dollars each year (the same amount as all the rest of the world combined and it all goes to a single entity: the Pentagon).

In order to justify this unjust war and its deaths, that still today kills thousands of innocent victims in Iraq and all over the world, with unpredictable effects on international peace, a gigantic conspiracy came into being, that saw the participation of the CIA, the Mossad, MI5 (the British service) and of the SISMI (Italy's Military Intelligence and Security Service), of some journalists of the Washington Post and the New York Times, and the main collaborators in the White House and the Pentagon. ...

The War in Iraq, in truth, was predicated on two false schemes prepared well before 9/11. The first was that Saddam had tried to import uranium ore [Yellowcake] from Niger, which was in the planning nine months before 9/11, the Joint British Committee Intelligence wrote in a its relationship: "confirmed sources do not say that the Iraqis are interested in acquiring uranium". The second one was that Saddam Hussein had ties with the terrorists of 9/11." (Original in Italian) http://www.megachip.info

War is illegal from: www.war-is-illegal.org

Against a background of escalating ecological crises, and the fact that large parts of the world�s population are being exposed to extreme poverty, inhuman working conditions and increasing social tensions, the annual global military expenditure has risen to more than 1000 billion dollars.

The military-industrial complex of just a few G8 countries is responsible for the overwhelming part of this spending, causing incalcuable social and ecological consequences.

Unequal distribution of global resources, increasingly controlled by large multinational companies, global debt policy and unfair international trading practices ultimately could not be maintained without military security. In many countries the military is used to repress critical opposition.

The terror attacks of September 11, 2001 are increasingly used to justify systematic surveillance and the dismantling of constitutional rights. Even European countries have helped to establish Guantanomo-like secret prisons, where torture in all probability takes place.

Iraq was attacked based on falsified evidence causing the death of hundreds of thousands of people, widespread destruction, destabilization and contamination with cancer-causing depleted uranium munitions.

Now plans to attack Iran and the possibility of a new World War have been made public, meeting resistance even from moderate elements within the military due to the unforeseeable consequences.

Faced with the choice between a war, that according to some western leaders, will last for many years or a possible peaceful transformation we support the following demands:

1) Impeachment proceedings against US President Bush and US Vice President Cheney before the 2008 election, a demand raised in solidarity with large parts of the US public and some members of US Congress. Furthermore prosecution by the International Court of Justice of G. W. Bush, R. Cheney and other officials from various countries for waging wars of aggression contrary to international law and committing crimes against humanity.

2) International investigation of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks. They are used as the central justification for the "War on Terror", but well documented evidence shows that the official explanation of 9/11 cannot be correct. International personalities in science, politics, and culture, including high-ranking military veterans, have called for a new investigation.

3) Immediate military withdrawal from Afghanistan and Iraq, and no attack against Iran. International prohibition of war as a means of conflict resolution. Military intervention and export of weapons should be criminalized.

In a civilized society torture must be prohibited in any form.

4) Conversion of military industries to civilian purposes and the development of ecological and sustainable energy resources. According to the UN environmental agency, a fraction of the annual global defence expenditure could ensure that all humans have access to clean water and a basic supply of food and healthcare.

This statement is based on a commitment to non-violence and tolerance of all ethnic groups and religions. Two devastating World Wars and historical catastrophes like the Nazi Holocaust must always remind us of the worst consequences of nationalism, racism and incitement to war.

Telegraph Article 9/23/01: "Ernst Welteke, president of the Bundesbank, said financial investigators had found strong indications of suspicious dealings in gold and oil, as well as unusual movements in airline and insurance shares, in the days before the September 11 attacks in the United States. ..."There are ever clearer signs that there were activities on international financial markets that must have been carried out with the necessary expert knowledge." http://www.telegraph.co.uk

Washington Post Article 9/22/01: "The president of Germany's central bank said today there was mounting evidence that people connected to the attacks in New York and Washington sought to profit from the tragedy by engaging in "terrorism insider trading" on European stock and commodity markets.

...a preliminary review by German regulators and bank researchers showed there were highly suspicious sales of shares in airlines and insurance companies, along with major trades in gold and oil markets, before Sept. 11 that suggest they were conducted with advance knowledge of the attacks.

Welteke said his researchers came across what he considers almost irrefutable proof of insider trading as recently as Thursday, but he refused to release details pending further consultations with regulators in other countries.

"What we found makes us sure that people connected to the terrorists must have been trying to profit from this tragedy,'' he told European finance ministers and central bankers.

." http://www.webcom.com/hrin/magazine/brussels.html

(NB: According to The 9/11 Commission, "The U.S. government investigation unequivocally concluded that there was no evidence of illicit trading in the U.S. markets with knowledge of the terrorist attacks. The Commission staff, after an independent review of the government investigation, has discovered no reason to doubt this conclusion."

Lt. Col. Jochen Scholz:

Regarding 9/11: "Ultimate responsibility for the so-called "air policing" and for alarming the interceptor pilots, in NATO terminology an "Alpha Scramble" when the planes go up, lies with the North American Air Defense Command NORAD. It is the largest air defense centre in the world watching for external as well as internal threats. It has every single mouse on its radar screen.

Among the NATO nations, it is the general rule that within 10 to 15 minutes of the sounding of an alarm, planes have to be in the air. It was exactly this which did not occur for over two hours. Not one single interceptor plane made the attempt to force the [hijacked] planes down or even to investigate or anything else. A story is told that prior to September 11th, 2001, in the same year more than 60 similar operations [air intercepts] were executed without a hitch.

And the smokescreens which have been put up by the official inquiry committee of the Congress that on this day an unbelievable number of exercises by the Air Force had taken place and so everyone had been confused and not able to tell the difference between real life and exercise.

That is simply incomprehensible for someone with a background in air defense. Because exercises, with regard to air traffic control and air defense, are always separated from real life in air traffic."

JIim Corr

By Richie Taylor

Friday May 30 2008

Jim CorrJim Corr has claimed that there was overwhelming evidence that the 9/11 attacks in America were carried out by "rogue elements" of US President George Bush's "neo-con administration".

In a rare intervention into the political arena, the male singer with The Corrs band came out against the Lisbon Treaty claiming that it is "tip-toe totalitarianism in the West".

In an interview with Matt Cooper on Today FM's 'Last Word', Corr made the case for voting 'No' to Lisbon, claiming it could introduce the death penalty to Ireland and contribute to a "new world order".

Corr's opposition is based on his three years "studying the New World Order which the European Union is a part of".

He said "the EU is a stepping stone towards a world government, they will merge it with the Asia Pacific Union, the African Union and the North American Union". The Lisbon Treaty itself will introduce "a scientific technocracy" to Europe which will erode national sovereignty.

Corr claimed that The Charter of Fundamental Rights allows for the introduction of the death penalty.

"It makes provision for the introduction to law for the death penalty in times of war or imminent threat of war.

"What we are seeing is tip-toe totalitarianism in the West with 9/11 the key to understanding this.

"When you study 9/11 it becomes very apparent... it was a staged terrorist attack, what they call a false flag operation."

Corr said overwhelming evidence suggests 9/11 "was carried out by rogue elements in the Bush neo-con administration".

Elias Davidson

Today's Elias Davidson interview (both hours of the 4/25/08 show) will soon be available at http://www.gcnlive.com/pubpod/d_duo/pcast.php His website is: http://www.juscogens.org/

Elias is one of the world's leading 9/11 researchers. He did a terrific job on my show today, 4/25/08 explaining why the US government's failure to provide evidence that Muslims were on the alleged 9/11 attack planes is itself evidence that there were no Muslims on those planes. He pointed out that the US government was obliged by its own law and international law, as well as by its interest in supporting its version of events, to immediately provide what should have been easily available evidence documenting the boarding of all 19 men: the official passenger lists, boarding passes, eyewitness reports from airline personnel, surveillance camera videos, and DNA evidence from the alleged crash sites. The fact that no such evidence has been provided, and attempts to find this evidence have been rebuffed, (1) constitutes overwhelming evidence that there were no Muslims on the planes, and that the official story is thus a blood libel of historic proportions; (2) constitutes overwhelming evidence of conspiracy to obstruct justice, and (3) makes the US government itself the leading suspect in the murder of nearly 3,000 people on 9/11. Below is his press release announcing his memorandum to the UN. Elias is optimistic that this will be actionable, and he urges all participants in the cover-up to jump off the sinking ship while there's still time.

UN Expert Urged to Obtain Facts regarding the Mass Murder of September 11, 2001 (from Elias Davidsson)

Press release

April 25, 2008

On April 14, 2008, Icelandic scholar and human rights activist Elias Davidsson submitted to the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions a detailed memorandum describing the failure of the United States government to adequately investigate the mass murder that occurred on September 11, 2001, establish the truth and bring those responsible to justice. His submission is based on the following principles of human rights that have been affirmed by the United Nations and human rights tribunals, and reaffirmed by a panel of distinguished personalities concerned with the need to establish the truth on the mass murder of September 11, 2001. These include Prof. Ali Khan, Law Faculty, Washburn University (USA); Dr. Daniele Ganser, Historisches Seminar, University of Basle (CH); Dr. Kevin Barrett, Co-Founder of the Muslim-Jewish-Christian Alliance for 9/11 Truth (USA); Jim Fetzer, Distinguished McKnight University Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota (USA) and Prof. Lynn Margulis, Distinguished University Professor, MIT and member of the National Academy of Sciences (USA):

1. Principle: Relatives of victims of extrajudicial killings are entitled to know the truth about the circumstances surrounding these killings and the identities of the perpetrators

2. Principle: Society as a whole is entitled to see perpetrators of extrajudicial killings identified and brought to justice

3. Principle: Governments are under the moral and legal obligation to carry out, in good faith, investigations into cases of extrajudicial killings occurring on their soil.

The Submission to the Special Rapporteur, for which Mr. Davidsson is alone responsible, demonstrates that the United States government has failed to act in conformity with these principles:

1. It failed to positively establish the identities of the perpetrators of the mass murder of September 11, 2001, the identities of the planners and sponsors and the identities of the tools of crime. It thus grossly failed to establish the truth on this massive deprivation of the right to life, to which the relatives of the victims and society as a whole are morally and legally entitled.

2. It failed to bring any of the perpetrators, organizers and sponsors to justice, thus failing the expectation of the international community, as reflected in UN Security Council Resolution 1368 of September 12, 2001.

3. It attempted to prevent investigations of this mass murder to take place, condoned the destruction of forensic evidence, gagged witnesses and suppressed evidence crucial to understanding what happened on the fateful day.

The mass murder of September 11, 2001 represented a crime against humanity. As none of those responsible for this crime against humanity have been brought to trial, the Special Rapporteur is called upon, in the light of the "stakes involved for international peace, international law and human rights" and in conformity with his Mandate, to "seek explanations from the US authorities for their failure to (a) adequately investigate the events of 9/11; (b) positively identify the authors of the crime; and (c) bring them to justice." Moreover, the Special Rapporteur is requested to present his findings "to the appropriate UN bodies" as envisaged by his Mandate.

Editors and politicians are encouraged to join in requesting that UN human rights bodies, including the Special Rapporteur, seek explanations for the failure by the United States government to fulfil its international obligations with regard to the crime against humanity committed on September 11, 2001. The full memorandum submitted to the UN Special Rapporteur can be downloaded from:

Netanyahu Says 9/11 Was Good For Israel

Former Israeli PM and right wing Zionist lauds attacks while Iranian leader's comments serve as straw man

Former Israeli Prime Minister and current leader of the opposition Benjamin Netanyahu has stated during a speech that the 9/11 attacks were a good thing for Israel.

Israel's Ma'ariv newspaper reported that Netanyahu, leader of the Likud party, told an assembly at Bar Ilan university:

"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq."

Thousands of dead Americans and millions more slaughtered Iraqis, along with a war torn and divided country is beneficial to Israel, according to Mr Netanyahu.

The newspaper also reported he later added that the events "swung American public opinion in our favor."

In a display of utter disrespect, the staunch Zionist is reported to have made the comments at the conference on the division of Jerusalem as part of a peace deal with the Palestinians.

Netanyahu's comments echo a previous statement he made on the very day of 9/11, as reported in the New York Times, September 12th:

Asked tonight what the attack meant for relations between the United States and Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, the former prime minister, replied: "It's very good."

Then he edited himself: "Well, not very good, but it will generate immediate sympathy."

Netanyahu has strong ties with leading American Neoconservatives such as PNAC signatory Richard Perle, former Pentagon official Douglas Feith and David Wurmser, former Middle East Adviser to US Vice President Dick Cheney.

In 2002 these men, as representatives of right wing think tank The Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies, authored a paper entitled A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm, for the purpose of advising Netanyahu on how to "engage every possible energy on rebuilding Zionism."

The document urged Israel to aggressively seek the downfall of their Arab neighbors by exploiting the inherent tensions within and among the Arab States. The first step was the removal of Saddam Hussein in Iraq.

The paper suggested that "Israel will not only contain its foes; it will transcend them," postulating that a war with Iraq would destabilize the entire Middle East, allowing governments in Syria, Iran, Lebanon, and other countries to be replaced.

____UN Could Lead New 9/11 Investigation, Says Japanese MP

Fujita says potential move afoot to have global body probe suspicions surrounding terror attacks

Paul Joseph Watson, Prison Planet, Monday, March 31, 2008

Japanese member of Parliament Yukihisa Fujita told the Alex Jones Show yesterday that a potential new investigation of the 9/11 cover-up could be led by global parliamentarians he has been in contact with, or even by the United Nations itself.

Fujita, an MP for the Japanese Democratic Party, and a member of the House of Councillors in the Diet (national legislature), presented evidence which contradicted the official 9/11 story during a widely publicized Japanese Defense and Foreign Affairs Committee meeting in January of this year.

Following Fujita's presentation in the Japanese Diet, he also took part in a 9/11 truth conference at the EU Parliament in Brussels on February 26th which was hosted by Italian MEP Giullietto Chiesa (both presentations can be viewed at the end of this article).

"This is something Parliamentarians of various countries could ask - I was in Europe meeting with European MP's and they are also thinking about asking the UN to investigate, so these kind of efforts need to be done internationally," said Fujita, adding that he had visited eleven different European countries in an attempt to garner support for the move.

Fujita said the reaction to his presentation of the evidence during a session of the Japanese Parliament was encouraging, adding that several members of his party were already aware of some of the issues surrounding the incredulity of the official story. The Japanese MP said that he first began researching 9/11 around two years ago after watching documentaries and looking at evidence online.

"At the beginning I thought I couldn't believe, this can't be true, but then last year when I heard more about various facts and photos of the collapse of the seven building (WTC 7) and the put options conducted before 9/11 - I began to see that there was serious evidence that a cover-up might have been involved," Fujita told the Alex Jones Show.

The MP personally visited the former President of Germany's Bundesbank (presumably Ernst Welteke), who admitted that suspicious insider trading on American and United Airlines did take place immediately before 9/11.

Fujita said the deaths of 24 Japanese citizens during as a result of the attack in New York spurred him to ask why no cause of death had been properly ascertained by the Japanese government as would be routine, and why no DNA records had been recovered.

Fujita said he was currently engaged in a back and forth question and answer process with the Japanese Prime Minister in an attempt to get questions about 9/11 answered.

The MP said that people had warned him to be careful about asking questions about 9/11 because it could put his life in danger.

Fujita will today report back on his meetings in Europe and Sydney to fellow members of his party in an attempt to achieve further momentum in attaining consensus for a comprehensive investigation of 9/11 led by independent global Parliamentarians and not by Bush administration cronies, as was the case with the 9/11 Commission.

Marion Cotillard Oscars 2008

Oscar-winner Marion Cotillard has accused America of fabricating the 9/11 attacks

Actress Marion Cotillard sparked a political row yesterday after accusing America of fabricating the 9/11 attacks.

The 32-year-old French actress, who received an Oscar last month for her performance as singer Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose, openly questioned the truth behind the terrorist atrocity in an interview broadcast on a French website.

"I think we're lied to about a number of things," Cotillard said, singling out the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center as an example of the US making up horror stories for political ends.

Referring to the two passenger jets being flown into the Twin Towers, Cotillard said:

"We see other towers of the same kind being hit by planes. Are they burned? They [sic] was a tower, I believe it was in Spain, which burnt for 24 hours. It never collapsed. None of these towers collapsed. And there [in New York], in a few minutes, the whole thing collapsed."

She added that the towers, planned in the early Sixties, were an outdated "money-sucker" that would have cost more to modernise than to rebuild altogether, which is why they were destroyed.

She said: "It was a money-sucker because they were finished, it seems to me, by 1973, and to re-cable all that, to bring up-to-date all the technology and everything, it was a lot more expensive, that work, than destroying them."

Cotillard's stardom and increased earning power looked assured following her Oscar win.

But after her outburst, in which she also queried the 1969 Moon landings, a successful future in Hollywood appears to be in jeopardy.

She said: "Did a man really walk on the Moon? I saw plenty of documentaries on it, and I really wondered. And in any case I don't believe all they tell me, that's for sure."

Cotillard, who was born and brought up in Paris, made the comments on Paris Premi�re - Paris Derni�re, a programme broadcast a year ago.

She is shortly due to fly to Chicago to star alongside Johnny Depp in Public Enemies, a gangster movie expected to be her first big money-spinner.

Cotillard's film career began in Luc Besson's 1998 film Taxi - a huge hit in France but less so around the world.

She is slowly becoming a household name in France, in a list most recently topped by her close friend Audrey Tautou and previously by women such as Catherine Deneuve and Brigitte Bardot.

But Cotillard, who lives with actor and director Guillaume Canet, frequently tells interviewers she has no interest in money or prestige.

Denying that she had any kind of "Anglo-Saxon ambition", she said she prefers to "choose roles which suit me".

Despite her low-key image, Cotillard is an environmental activist who once worked as a spokesman for Greenpeace.
