"On September 11, 2001, my wife called and woke me up, screaming, “It’s the end of the world!” I was sleeping, after working the graveyard shift at the data center, which I did for many years. She urged me to turn on the TV. I saw then Mayor Rudy Giuliani walking through the dust covered streets of New York City. Was I dreaming?
It took me about two minutes, until I first saw video of the South Tower collapsing, to realize this was a giant psyop. The notion that 19 crazed Arabs, armed only with box cutters and plastic knives, had brought these wonders of modern engineering down, along with blowing a hole in the Pentagon, was something I immediately rejected. I’ve written about 9/11 several times before on Substack, and delved into it deeply in both Hidden History and American Memory Hole. Most of my readers are familiar with the monstrous holes in the official story. Building 7, hit by nothing, collapsing just like Buildings 1 and 2. Not to mention that the BBC reported live that Building 7 had collapsed, before it did. You can see it standing in the background behind the reporter. As USA Today helpfully explained, “BBC mistakenly reported that World Trade Center Building 7 had fallen before it happened.” Well, sure that’s understandable- to accidentally report events before they really take place, shortly afterwards.
All “conspiracy theorists” know about Building 7. But what about Building 6? Kurt Sonnenfeld, a videographer who worked for FEMA, took lots of videos, and claimed that the estimated $650 million worth of gold stored in Building 6 had already been emptied, by someone, prior to the 9/11 attacks. Sonnenfeld’s wife Nancy was shot and killed on December 31, 2001, and the authorities attempted to pin the murder on him. The murder charge was eventually dropped due to lack of evidence, but the prosecutor was still coming for him. Sonnenfeld fled the country, and was later granted asylum in Argentina. Sonnenfeld gave informed lectures on 9/11, talking about the mysterious power outages and evacuations in the weeks leading up to the events, and the fact that two close Bush family members controlled the company in charge of security at the World Trade Center. He charged that “hundreds of government personnel” were in New York City on September 10, preparing for one of those familiar “drills.”
I’ve written about the heart-wrenching tale of two life long female friends, who always flew together, which was reported ad nauseum by our state controlled media. On 9/11, we were told, they couldn’t get seats together, so flew on separate planes for the first time. Irony of irony, and defying all actuarial odds, both planes were part of the tragic story that day. The problem is that the same media had reported that all of the hijacked planes were well under capacity. So, it would be an absolute lie to say these women couldn’t have sat together. I seem to be the only one who cares. A story like this reflects the depth of the rabbit holes. They know they’re lying, we know they’re lying, and they know we know they’re lying. And yet still they lie. As I noted in American Memory Hole, the father of alleged hijacker Mohammad Atta went on German television (no U.S. media would talk to him), the day after 9/11, to report that his son had called him, in hiding because of fears the Mossad was trying to frame him.
You’d think a story like that would make the front page of The New York Times. CNN. Fox News. After all, it’s pretty remarkable for a hijacker to survive the crash into the World Trade Center. But then again, he was a terrorist. They aren’t like us. Their passports can survive an inferno which pulverized steel into fine dust. I discovered that, according to the official NIST investigation’s report (not some “conspiracy theorist”), the first person to jump from the WTC after the planes hit did so four minutes after the first impact. Now, to a mere community college dropout like me, this seems incomprehensible. Someone went to work that day, and couldn’t stop their suicidal thoughts for more than four minutes after something happened? Something no one quite understood yet? Why would you lose hope in being rescued that quickly? Well, perhaps they were planning on jumping out of a window that day anyhow. It just so happened that a plane coincidentally struck the building at the same time.
Early news reports talked about a large truck parked at the base of the Twin Towers, loaded with explosives. Over 150 firefighters alone reported, with great detail, hearing and seeing explosions in the buildings. This included Barry Jennings in Building 7, who would go on to die suspiciously. After his family vanished. After a private detective hired by Loose Change filmmaker Dylan Avery told him, “never call me again.” That’s almost as good a conspiratorial chestnut as when the programmer in charge of election forecasts told the Collier Brothers, who were investigating vote fraud, “You’ll never prove a thing.” People say the strangest things; Bill Murray supposedly likes to steal French fries from strangers’ plates and tell them, “No one will ever believe you.” Someone should invite him to Bohemian Grove or Bilderberg. The point is, these people don’t care. They know the sheeple won’t question them no matter how obvious it is. I mean, an intact passport on top of pulverized steel?
Obviously, whatever struck the Pentagon on 9/11, it wasn’t Flight 77. The hole in the building wasn’t big enough, and there were no impact marks from the wings, which also weren’t sheared off and left outside. In fact, there was virtually no debris from the plane on the lawn of the Pentagon. Well, that ought to be easy to settle. Just watch the video. After all, even in 2001, the heart of our national defense was equipped with security cameras from every possible angle. Tragically, they weren’t working that day. You know, like the new cameras at Sandy Hook weren’t working. And the government confiscated video from the nearby Citgo gas station and Doubletree motel. But they never released that video, instead belatedly producing a ridiculous, very short clip of a fireball hitting the building. It cannot be identified as a plane, a missile, a UFO, or anything else. Most knowledgeable researchers think a missile hit the Pentagon. I don’t know why they’d use a missile and say it was a plane. They lie about everything.
I took a really deep dive into the other plane hijacked that day, Flight 93, which we are told crash landed in Pennsylvania after some strapping patriots shouted “Let’s Roll!” and forced it down. I don’t know if there was a plane crash in Pennsylvania or not. There are very clear reports of little to no wreckage. No sign of any airplane. It could have been shot down by our government, who then as usual lied about it. According to the mayor of Cleveland’s very detailed account, Flight 93 was forced to emergency land in his city, because of a bomb threat. How do you possibly make that kind of “mistake,” if you’re the mayor of a city? The coroner’s wildly conflicting reports prove that he was completely dishonest. We don’t know why he was lying, but we do know that he was lying. As always, I need to thank Chris Graves and Peter Secosh for their sterling research. Whatever really happened, Flight 93 didn’t crash because of the heroics of some patriotic caricatures. Somebody talk to the mayor of Cleveland.
Readers have grown accustomed to me referring to America 2.0. If we try and determine just when we devolved from America 1.0 into America 2.0, I think the most obvious answer is that it happened on September 11, 2001. As a result of the ridiculous 19 crazed Arabs narrative, Congress rolled over for the Patriot Act, the most unconstitutional legislation ever created up to that point. The monstrous Department of Homeland Security was created. No one has ever suggested that we abolish it, and only a few have complained about the Patriot Act, which eviscerated what was left of our civil liberties. Americans accepted “Free Speech Zones,” which directly implied that outside those “zones,” there was no free speech. Anyone named Muhammad became suspect. Waterboarding, and other forms of torture, which were openly supported by our leaders. You know, the “good guys.” The ones who aren’t “terrorists.” Some of them still do support torture. And they all love Israel.
Speaking of Israel, they were the most obvious beneficiary from the events of 9/11. We didn’t need the dancing Israelis to tell us that. Donald Trump tried to convert them into dancing Arabs, but that isn’t going to work with anyone who actually has researched this case. The project involving Israeli art students, taking place on the 91st floor of World Trade Center Building 1. The New York Times felt this story important enough to cover, on August 18, 2001. A 2002 story in the UK Daily Mail reported that the U.S. government had arrested and deported 200 Israelis, some of them posing as “art students,” for spying and espionage, in the period leading up to 9/11. And we all know it was Larry Silverstein, not Larry O’Brien, who gave the order to “pull” Building 7, and profited from at least over $3 billion in insurance money after 9/11. He is somehow still alive today, due to a “miracle,” when his wife reminded him of a dermatologist appointment that morning. The good they die young.
There is so much to remember. Donald Rumsfeld’s mysterious announcement that the Pentagon could not account for $2.3 trillion on the day before 9/11. I can’t find any similar announcements from public officials. Cynthia McKinney would up being ousted from Congress by AIPAC and company, after her aggressive questioning of Rumsfeld regarding this. To this day, that $2.3 trillion has never been found. Vanished without a trace, like Judge Crater, Ambrose Bierce, and Natalee Holloway. Some family members couldn’t be bought off with lucrative memorial funds. The “Jersey Girls.” Ellen Mariani, who refused to accept anything from the Victims Compensation Fund established by Congress. Mariani’s death was exceedingly strange, as it wasn’t disclosed by her family until nearly two years after it occurred. Her attorney would say that “the reasons for Ellen’s illness and death remain somewhat mysterious,” but insisted that there was no evidence of foul play. There never is in these cases.
In the initial years following the events of 9/11, a lot more witnesses were publicly outspoken. Chris and Peter worked hard on getting contact information for them, but as invariably happens with research into these subjects, the phone numbers are almost always disconnected, and the emails bounce back with a delivery error, or are never responded to. April Gallop was adamant about seeing no debris at the Pentagon, and no evidence that a jet airliner struck it. I couldn’t contact her. Firefighter Lou Cacchioli, who stuck to his story of explosions in the Twin Towers, and lashed out at the 9/11 Commission. He didn’t answer me, however. Michael Hess, who like Barry Jennings, reported explosions in Building 7. I couldn’t find a way to contact him. “Jersey Girl” Kristy Breitweiser, whose father I spoke to twice. The first time, he indicated she’d be interested in talking with me, but on the second occasion, he referred me to her book. There were others, once willing, now unwilling to talk.
The 9/11 Commission, like the Warren Commission, did no investigating. They just rubber stamped the government’s absurd version of events. It didn’t bother them that the fires in the WTC were never reported as being close to the temperature science tells us must be reached for steel to melt, yet the same sources conclude that the magical jet fuel cocktail did indeed melt the steel. They didn’t find it strange that no fighter jets were utilized, when just a few months previously, they were quickly sent up, when all the passengers on a plane carrying PGA golfer Payne Stewart died tragically due to an oxygen leak, to prevent it from crash landing in a populated area. They weren’t suspicious about security cameras not working, in the WTC or the Pentagon. The most innocuous scenario is that our government stood down, permitting a plane to strike the center of our gargantuan Military Industrial Complex. What exactly were taxpayers getting for the countless trillions extorted from them?
While Alex Jones gets credit for coining the catchy “9/11 was an Inside Job,” many other forgotten and unheralded researchers did the kind of investigating that no mainstream “journalist” will. Devvy Kidd, who went to Shanksville, Pennsylvania, visiting the alleged crash site and trying to grill wildly inconsistent coroner Wallace Miller. Kidd has been on my “I Protest” podcast, but seems to be backing away from doing any more interviews. Christopher Bollyn visited Shanksville, too, and produced some valuable work. Tom Flocco, apparently gone from this vale of tears, was right in the center of 9/11 online truth. The always intriguing “Let’s Roll” forums. Patrick Briley, who according to Devvy Kidd, quit researching “for his mental health sake, and his family.” Greg Szymanski, who wrote for American Free Press before I did. The late, great photographic expert Jack White, who analyzed the anomalies at the WTC and Pentagon more thoroughly than anyone, but is never mentioned by researchers.
My friend Richard Gage is holding his annual “Turning the Tide” conference in New York City. I had the pleasure of attending last year’s conference in Washington, D.C., and got to meet one of my political heroes, Dennis Kucinich. Jimmy Dore will be there this year as well. My good friend RB Ham was part of the Exposing 9/11 Conference in Canada. Good people are doing good things. But more people aren’t doing anything, and in fact either believe this fairy tale, or don’t really care. 9/11 is the millennials’ JFK assassination. Like the JFK assassination, it changed this country forever. And not for the better. We invaded Afghanistan less than a month after 9/11. Two years later, we invaded Iraq. And now we are engaged in an utterly disastrous war with Iran. None of that would have happened without 9/11. 9/11 transformed our already neocon-inspired foreign policy into nothing more than a proxy for Israel. We lost our civil liberties, and lots of Arabs died, because of the 9/11 lie. America 2.0 is forever ZOG."
