The 911 Commission Report is Full of Holes
The 911 Commission Report is Full of Holes




585 pages- it's too much to read, so don't even bother folks. They produced this monstrosity to convice you that they've REALLY researched, and you don't have time to look into this like we did, so just trust us: The gov't did their best, but they just weren't prepared for such an attack.

The official 911 Report (7mb pdf) is so full of holes, all you need is common sense to see through their lies- and it doesn't take 585 pages to prove that this a cover-up... using their own document- and a few audio clips they 'forgot' to investigate. (footnotes are pdf page # -not printed page)

1. Clinton '98 memo: Bin Laden Preparing to Hijack US Aircraft and Other Attacks (145)
2. Aug 6th memo: Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US (278)
3. Bush (mp3), Condi Rice (mp3) and General Myers all 'thought it was a terrible accident'- and went about their day. How is this possible after receiving the Aug 6th memo?
4. Official Excuse: Failure of Imagination... ummm, both of those memos were pretty damn specific, and when the hit came, THEY DID NOTHING! How could Condi, the National Security Advisor, go on to her staff meeting? How could bush continue with his school photo-op... his presence was endangering the children as obviously he could've been a target.
5. Bush appointed Zelikow to 'direct' the commission. Clinton did not appoint Starr. Zelikow's Directions: 10 min time limit, none of the pertinent Qs from 911 family members get asked. 911 Family Steering Committee calls for Zelikow's resignation, media ignores it.
6. 8:19 am 9/11 Morning: Flight Attendant Betty Ong calls reservation center, American Airlines knows flight 11 is hijacked. (22)
7. 8:24 am: Hijacker flips wrong switch, thinks he's talking to passengers but is actually transmitting to FAA controllers: "Nobody move. Everything will be okay. If you try to make any moves, you ll endanger yourself and the airplane. Just stay quiet." (23)
8. In the same transmission, the hijacker also said, "we have some planes" - but supposedly the controllers couldn't hear it, so they sent it off to someone else to decipher it.(40) Thirty minutes later, about the time of the 2nd plane crash- the audio was finally deciphered and they knew it was 'we have planes'.

Is this story realistic?
Listen to the audio mp3 yourself.

1. This is a very basic and compellingly human question.
"3. Bush (mp3), Condi Rice (mp3) and General Myers all 'thought it was a terrible accident'- and went about their day. How is this possible after receiving the Aug 6th memo?"

Didn't anything click and nag at them? Didn't even the basest kind of thought occur like "Oh shit, that's what that memo was about...they're going to blame me...I'm not going down alone on this one...."

Bush, Cheney, Rice, and Rumsfeld -- they all seem to have achieved a truly transcendent level of denial. That sense of guilt, of personal and professional responsibility, for 9/11 (and for the Iraq War) is just not there and never will be.

2. "Lack of imagination" my ass.
"Lack of brain" more like it.

3. I think they were very imaginative, but in the wrong direction

as in, they saw it as an opportunity for another 'pearl harbor styled' event, so that then they could start the endless war, pass the patriot act, and lock the sheeple under the control of fear.
Just my opinion, of course. :evilgrin:

And as far as holes in the questioning asked by the panel, I think the fact that people continue to ignore the hardest evidence we have that this was staged: the physics and the chemistry involved in the event. There the math simply doesn't add up at all.

Some good debunking of the official story about the physics and chemistry here:
