The truth will out
September 11th And The Bush Administration

Compelling Evidence for Complicity

Walter E. Davis, PhD

Introduction

Clearly, one of the most critical questions of the twenty-first century concerns why the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were not prevented. As I outline below, there are numerous aspects regarding the official stories about September 11th which do not fit with known facts, which contradict each other, which defy common sense, and which indicate a pattern of misinformation and coverup. The reports coming out of Washington do very little to alleviate these concerns.

For example, the Congressional report released on July 25, 2003 by a joint panel of House and Senate intelligence committees concluded that 9/11 resulted in C.I.A. and F.B.I. "lapses." While incompetence is frightening enough given a $40 billion budget, it is simply not consistent with known facts. It is consistent with the reports from other government scandals such has the Iran Contra Affair which produced damage control and cover up but not answers to the more probing questions. But perhaps a comparison to Watergate is more apropos since we now have twenty-eight pages of this report, which the Bush Administration refuses to release. The report from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is believable unless you are seriously interested in the truth. Under more careful scientific scrutiny, it does not answer some very important questions.

Newspapers across the country call for an investigation into Bush’s lies about the reasons for war on Iraq. Many people may accept the fact of Bush’s false pretext for a war on Arab people in a distant place, especially after the fact. However, few people will be as accepting if it is shown that this Administration was complicit in acts of atrocities against its own people.

The magnitude of the crisis is readily apparent by noting that 9/11 serves as a pretext for a never-ending war against the world, including preemptive strikes against defenseless, but resource rich countries. It also serves as a pretext for draconian measures of repression at home, including the cabinet level Department of Homeland Security and Patriot Act I, and its sequel. September 11th has become the cause for numerous other acts from massive increases in military spending and to a Fast Track Trade Agreement for the President.

3. this one is the most telling, IMHO

13) How was it possible for the World Trade Center’s two towers to have completely collapsed as a result of two jet planes?

The towers in fact stood for forty-five and ninety minutes after the crashes. The official story is that the burning jet fuel caused the steel girders supporting them to melt. However, there is simply no credibly scientific evidence to support this story. The WTC towers were designed to take the impact of a Boeing 707. It is highly unlikely that fire from the jet fuel could have melted the steel girders. This is especially true of the South tower since the plane did not hit it directly. Therefore most of the fuel did not fall inside the building. The South Tower was hit second and fell first. Both towers collapsed evenly and smoothly in a manner consistent with that caused by a planned demolition. Based upon scientific evidences, photos and videos of the event, and reports of scientists, the WTC architect and engineers, it is highly unlikely that the Towers collapsed because of burning jet fuel rather than demolition. There are also serious questions regarding the collapse of the building known as WTC7. It is also noteworthy that ownership of the WTC changed hands several months earlier because if the towers collapsed because of inside demolition, such accomplishment would require cooperation from the extensive WTC security forces.


I've read several aritcles concerning this, and in fact when the towers fell I noticed that the collapse was oddly indentical to a planned demolition collapse. In my opinion, this is a huge smoking gun.

4. 9-11 Protest at Ground Zero
"Canada Scoops U.S. Media, eh", has been picked as the theme for our 9-11 “Protest at Ground Zero”. This is a tribute to our neighbors to the North who had the good sense to sound the alarm on the terrorist threat while the U.S. press was hot on Gary Condit's personal problems. Protesters can wear Montreal Canadians or Toronto Maple Leafs hockey jerseys, The red Canadian Maple Leaf, or just red and white colors. Have fun, but do remember that the purpose of the protest is the stonewalling of the 9-11 Commission and petition to have Sen. Hart named to fill a vacancy on the Commission. More details to come regarding the exact time and place to met!

Below is a chilling warning, and prophecy for failing to heed that warning.

TERROR RISK REAL: THOUSANDS WILL DIE ON US SOIL, SAYS EX-PRESIDENTAIL HOPEFUL, GARY HART.

Montreal Gazette
Wednesday, September 5, 2001
Section: News

Speaking before an international audience of aviation-industry representatives, former U.S. senator and presidential hopeful Gary Hart said there is a strong likelihood the United States will be hit by a major terrorist strike that will inflict thousands of casualties and wreak major changes in American society.

Hart said yesterday the projection was made by experts consulted by a U.S. national security commission he recently chaired on threats facing the US in the coming 25 years. "The conclusion was that, for the first time since 1812, Americans will lose their lives in large number on American soil by terrorists using weapons of mass destruction," he said.

He said that, in the aftermath of such a terrorist strike, there would be a massive outcry for the government to act, and an unprecedented crackdown by the authorities. "We will be spied on, our privacy will be gone; that will have a huge impact on our society."

Hart, along with Quebec Premier Bernard Landry, was a guest speaker at a dinner held by the local branch of a U.S.-based international law firm, Coudert Brothers, for which Hart is currently a special adviser. The occasion marked the launch of the firm's international aviation practice group.

Hart's speech was about the changes the world faces going into the 21st century, which he said will be dominated by increasing globalization, population shifts from poorer to richer countries, and a decline of nation states as the building blocks of the global community. "With increased globalization, that fundamental building block is beginning to disintegrate," he said.

He made no specific reference to Quebec or Canada, but suggested that different cultural groups across the world will seek to assert their identity outside their present national context. "All kinds of groups may or may not want to be separate, but to identify themselves as separate from the nation states into which they were cast by colonial or other historical circumstance."

The 21st century, he suggested, will be not so much a continuation of the 20th, but a revolutionary break from the recent past. "If you thought the 20th century was interesting, wait until you see the 21st," he said. "It will be like nothing we have seen in the past."
