THE TRUTH ABOUT SEPT 11

compiled by Gerard Holmgren closeup911-AT-yahoo.co.uk

Last updated March 14 2004.

The following compilation presents documents and research from various sources demonstrating that the events of Sept 11 were planned and carried out by the US govt and its agencies. This compilation is my own creation and it cannot be assumed that the individual authors of the research below neccesarily agree with each other on all details.

The compilation is divided into three main sections.

1) "Let it happen on purpose" evidence (LIHOP).

This presents research which takes as its founding assumption that we are basically being told the truth about which planes were hijacked, where they went and who hijacked them, and goes on to demonstrate that even if this were true, then the govt and its agencies must have known about it beforehand, and must have taken active steps to deliberately allow it to happen.

2) "Totally self inflicted" evidence (TSI).

This section demonstrates that the LIHOP evidence only scratches the surface, and that the govt claims about which planes were hijacked, were they went and who hijacked them is total fiction, and that the govt and its agencies must have organized the entire event.

3) Background and historical evidence.

This section does not present direct evidence of govt involvement specifically in the events of Sept 11, but demonstrates that the phenomonen of "Islamic terror", both real and imaginary, has been deliberately built up by successive US govts and agencies for more than two decades, in the interests of creating an enemy in the minds of the population. It also demonstrates that behind the scenes, the US govt and its agencies actively co-operate with their alleged Islamic enemies, and that there is sound historical precedent for the govt and its agencies having an active policy of committing or deliberately allowing terrorist attacks against their own people for the purpose of furthering this kind of agenda.

Before presenting the evidence, lets briefly summarize the basics of the claims made about Sept 11 by the govt and the media..

American Airlines flight 11, a Boeing 767, tail number N334AA, with 92 people aboard,including the hijackers, was hijacked by 5 Arab men, while on route from Boston to LA. It was known to be hijacked by 8.25 AM or earlier, and hit the Nth tower of the WTC at 8.45, or according to some sources, 8.46.

United Airlines flight 175, a Boeing 767, tail number N612UA, with 65 people aboard,including the hijackers , was hijacked by 5 Arab men, while flying the same route as AA 11. It was known to be hijacked at about 8.55 AM and hit the Sth Tower of the WTC at 9.03.

The towers later collapsed due to fire and /or impact damage.

American Airlines flight 77, a Boeing 757, tail number N644AA, with 64 people aboard,including the hijackers, was hijacked by 5 Arab men while on route from Dulles airport (DC) to LA. It was known to be hijacked at about 8.55 and hit the Pentagon at a time which in different sources, varies between 9.38 and 9.45.

United Airlines flight 93, a Boeing 757, tail number N591UA, with either 44 or 45 people aboard ( depending upon which sources you use ), including the hijackers, on route from Newark (New Jersey) to SF , was hijacked by 4 Arab men. It was known to be hijacked about 9.45, and crashed in PA at a time which varies from 10.00 to 10.10, depending on the source, after the passengers attempted to take back control of the plane from the hijackers.

As we'll see in section 2 , (TSI) none of this is true, except for the fact that the towers collapsed, and we will demonstrate that this was a controlled demolition.

But for the purposes of Section 1 (LIHOP), lets assume that these claims are basically true. The LIHOP section will demonstrate that the govt must have deliberately allowed the attacks to happen.

SECTION 1. THE GOVT DELIBERATELY LET IT HAPPEN.

1.1 AIRFORCE STANDOWN

If one accepts the story as above, then the airforce must have been stood down in order to ensure the success of the attacks.

It has become popular mythology in the media that fighter jets were scrambled to intercept the hijacked planes. This is completely untrue as the following research shows.

1.1.6 Russian Air Force chief says official 9/11 story impossible
emperors-clothes.com/news/airf.htm

Scrambling of fighter jets to intercept stray aircraft is a routine proceedure.
Here's an example of how routine it is.

1.1.7 Jet Sent to probe Fla. Gov. Plane. Netscape news. May 15 2003.
newsmine.org/archive/9-11/questions/af-intercept/jeb-bush-plane-intercepted.txt

The proceedures were already in place before Sept 11 2001.
It happened 67 times in the 10 months between September 2000 and June 2001.

(Items 1.1.8 to 1.1.11 are alternative sources for the same story)

www.wanttoknow.info/020812ap

It is impossible to believe that such a total and systematic failure of routine air defence proceedures was simply due to incompetence. And even if one were to propose this, why has there been no inquiry into this aspect of Sept 11, and why has not one official been sacked or even reprimanded for criminal negligence ?

I have seen bigger inquiries into car crashes at race tracks.

1. 2 The complicit behavior of G.W.Bush

An examination of the movements of Geroge W. Bush on the morning of Sept 11, and the subsequent lies told by Bush, the govt and the media to try to cover up his movements demonstrates that Bush had prior knowledge of the attacks , pretended to know less than he did once they began, and conspired to ensure that nothing was done to minimize or prevent them.

It has become common mythology in the media that George W. Bush was already at Booker Elementary School when he learned of the first WTC crash. This is a lie.

Bush claims to have seen the 1st WTC impact live on TV while at Boooker school and to have thought at the time that it was an accident. We know that this is a lie - a) because he hadn't yet arrived at the school when it happened. b) because the first impact was not broadcast live. No footage of it was shown until the following day

1.2:5 The President as Incompetent Liar: Bush's Claim that he Saw TV Footage of 1st Plane Hitting WTC
Comments by Jared Israel [Posted 12 September 2002]

emperors-clothes.com/indict/liar.htm

Why did the President - after being told "America is under attack" continue to listen to schoolchildren reading for another 25 minutes ? Why was he cheering, smiling and joking even as it was known that at least one more hijacked plane was on the loose ? View the TV footage which proves treason at the top level.

1.2:6 www.emperors-clothes.com/indict/vid.htm

Clinton was impeached for lying about an affair. Bush is lying about where he was, what he was doing and what he knew during the crucial period between 8.45 and 9.45 A.M. on Sept 11.

1.3 OTHER EVIDENCE OF GOVT FOREKNOWLEDGE

In the first few hours after the attacks, it was reported that investigators were already looking into huge volumes of insider trading on airline stocks in the weeks leading up to the attacks. Investigative and regulatory authorities could easily find out who placed these trades, apparently attempting to profit from foreknowledge.
Why has this story since completely disappeared? More than two years later, we see no sign of any inquiry. If the executive director of the CIA had previously managed the firm which handled much of the trade, are we expected to believe that authorities can't find out who was responsible? Clearly, they don't want to know - or at least ,don't want us to know.

1.4: THE COVER UP

In spite of the magnitude of the attacks, and the fact that even the official story recognizes catastrophic failures of intelligence, while trying to gloss over the similarly catastrophic failures of standard airline security and air defence proceedures, the White House has fought tooth and nail against any serious inquiry into Sept 11. Even the watered down inquiries which have taken place so far have been bitterly opposed by the White House and only conceded due to tremendous public pressure. They have been almost completely restricted to the issue of "intelligence failures" prior to the attacks, leaving the glaring issues of the air force stand down, and Bush's unforgiveable complicity and subsequent lies, as well as the insider trading unaddressed.

SECTION 2. THE GOVT DIDN'T JUST "ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN" - IT PLANNED, ORGANIZED AND CARRIED OUT THE ATTACKS ITSELF.

The evidence in section 1 demonstrated that even if we uncritically accept the govt claims about 19 Arabs hijacking 4 planes and deliberately crashing them, we have overwhelming proof that the govt must have known about the attacks beforehand and been deliberately complicit in allowing them to happen. As strong as this evidence is, it only scratches the surface. The following evidence will demonstrate that the official story of the hijackings is total fiction.

2.1 The Ficticious Hijackers

Even without any direct documentation, some critical thinking about the story of the hijackings reveals it as an absurdity. In the event of a hijacking, the crew has only to punch in a four digit code accessible from several different places, in order to alert ATC (air traffic control) to a hijacking. No such distress code was received from any of the allegedly hijacked planes. We are expected to believe that hijackers took over a plane by the crude method of threatening the passengers and crew with boxcutters, but somehow managed to take control of the plane without the crew first getting a chance to punch in the hijacking code. Not just on one plane - but on all four. This alone is almost impossible. Then we are expected to believe that all four pilots were able to navigate the planes successfully to their targets, in spite of their training being restricted to Cessnas and flight simulators, that with the exception of the plane which was allegedly brought down by the passengers, they were able to exhibit breathtaking piloting skills in being able to hit small targets accuarately at high speed, and that none of the hijackers in any of the four groups got cold feet about committing suicide in such a horrible fashion. This has the credibility of a cartoon script. Nevertheless, there is solid documented proof that no such hijackings took place.

If 19 Arabs hijacked the planes, why are there no Arabic names on any of the passenger lists? If they used non-Arabic aliases, which of the " innocents " on the lists are alleged to be the hijackers?

2.1.6 STILL No Arabs On Flight 77 By Thomas R. Olmsted, MD. June 23 2003.
www.rense.com/general38/77.htm

If they are alleged to have been using non- Arabic aliases (19 obviously Arabic men got on board using non-Arabic ID, with 100% success rate ? ), why did the FBI claim that they were traced through the use of credit cards to buy tickets in their own names?

If 9 of the alleged hijackers were searched before boarding, as claimed in this article

2.1.7 www.policetalk.com/9_hijackers.html
why is there no airport security footage of them? Where is the airport security footage of any of the 19 ? Were they invisible? How did they (allegedly) get on board with knives, guns, and electronic guidance systems, while being searched, but somehow avoiding security cameras and not being on the passenger lists?
What aliases are they alleged to have been using when they were searched,and if they were not using aliases, why are they not on the passenger lists?


There are numerous media reports that some of the alleged hijackers are still alive.

In spite of all this, the same 19 names and faces of the alleged hijackers have been consistently pushed through the mainstream media ever since the FBI first "identified" them.

According to this article
FBI Agent: Hijackers probably used gas. by Adam Tanner.
2.1.19 newsmine.org/archive/9-11/911-gas-theory.txt

the FBI now claims that the hijackers used gas to subdue the passengers and crew. If they used gas they would have been affected themselves - unless they had masks. The story gets better all the time. They somehow got on board with masks, gas, guns,knives and electronic guidance systems, in spite of being searched, didn't show up on the airport security cameras, and were not on the passenger lists. They left flight manuals in Arabic in rented cars outside the airport ( last minute brushing up on the way there, about how to fly the things! ) and then exhibited breath taking displays of skilled piloting. Just to make sure we knew who they were, their passports were conveniently found in spite of fiery crashes which incinerated the planes and occupants. So they got on board with false IDs but used their real passports ?

If the hijackers of AA 11 went on a 25 minute killing and threatening spree before gaining control of the cokpit, then why was no distress code sent from the plane? Why had the plane already turned off course before the hijackers got into the cockpit?

2.1.20 9/11 Redux: (The Observer¹s Cut) American Airlines Flight 11, Reexamined By David L. Graham
www.whatreallyhappened.com/redux.html

If the mythical Arab hijackers really were on the planes and airport security systems failed due to incompetence ( not once but 19 times! ), where is the major inquiry? I have seen bigger inquiries into racehorse doping scandals.

The question arises " then who were the suicide pilots ? " Nobody - because we will now demonstrate that the objects which hit the Pentagon and the WTC were not passenger jets.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. 2: The Pentagon hoax

It is alleged that that American Airlines 77, a hijacked Boeing 757, crashed into the Pentagon. This is clearly not true. A Boeing 757 has a wingspan of 125 ft and a length of 155 ft. The tail height is about 40 ft. The hole in the Pentagon wall was about 40 ft wide, about 25 ft high, and only the outer ring of the building - about 40 ft deep - collapsed. And yet there is no sign of any aircraft debris - either inside or outside the building. And no damage to the lawn outside. A giant plane has supposedly passed through a hole many times smaller than itself and then vanished without a trace.

This photo of the damage to the Pentagon wall

Although official aviation records confirm that UA 93 and UA 175 did exist, they also indicate that the planes never crashed. On the date that this compilation was last updated , both aircraft were still registered as valid.

Go to the FAA aircraft registry
162.58.35.241/acdatabase/acmain.htm

and do an "n number" search for N591UA ( UA 93 on Sept 11) and N612UA (UA 175 on Sept 11). Why is neither plane listed as destroyed? In addition to the video evidence establishing that UA 175 did not hit the WTC, and this would indicate that UA 93 is not what crashed in PA.

2.4 What was shot down in PA?

The mystery of the PA crash (allegedly UA 93) is less well understood than the other three planes. Nevertheless, the aircraft registry search as above indicates that the UA 93 did not crash.
There are also indications that whatever did crash in PA was shot down.

2.5 The World Trade Centre Towers and the WTC 7 building were brought down with controlled dmolitions.

According to the official story, the WTC towers collapsed due to a combination of fire and impact damage. The research below reveals this as a physical impossibility. In addition, the media doesn't like to talk so much about the identical collpase of WTC 7 - a 47 story building which was not hit by anything. Apart from Sept 11, 2001, no steel framed skyscraper has ever totally collapsed from fire. On Sept 11, it allegedlly happened 3 times - all three buidling collapsing miraculaously straight down so as not to damage any of the valuable nearby real estate.Why was the debris rushed away for recycling before any examination could be held? Why were expert opinions indicating a controlled demolition quickly suppressed ?

WTC-7: The Improbable Collapse by Scott Loughrey 10 August 2003

Steel melts at about 1540 degrees. Jet fuel (kerosene) burns at a maximum of 800 degrees. Are we seriously expected to believe that burning kerosene towards the top of the building ( heat travels upwards ) somehow caused both towers to neatly implode in a manner identical to that of a controlled demolition ?

Where is the inquiry? I have seen bigger inquiries into suburban housefires. Why is discussion of the possibility of a controlled implosion completely taboo? Why do authorities keep inventing ridiculous stories about burning jet fuel melting steel?


2. 6 Where is the evidence against Bin laden?

It has become a common myth that Bin Laden has admitted to the attacks. This simply isn't true.

Bin laden's supposed confession is based entirely upon a video tape released by the Pentagon. The tape is a fake,and the translation is fraudulent.First here is gneral evidence that such confession tapes released by those doing the accusing have no credibility. Video technology now makes it difficult to distinguish between a real video confession and a fake.

(Read the section called "Evidence please!")

If the govt was genuinely surprised by the attacks, how it did they manage to name the mastermind within a few hours? And yet, more than two years later no formal charges have been laid against the accused.


2. 7 In September 2001, when Bush was threatening an Invasion of Afghanistan in retaliation for Sept 11, it slipped his mind to tell us that the invasion had already been planned before Sept 11.

US Tells of covert Afghan plans before 9/11 By Bob Drogin LA Times May 18 2002
2.7.4 www.cndyorks.gn.apc.org/news/articles/usplansbefore9-11.htm

After intially denying any prior warnings, the White House later changed its story, citing warnings of 'non-specific" threats as its explanation for why the invasion of Afganhistan had already been planned prior to Sept 11. We are expected to believe that it was so interested in Bin laden that it had planned a pre-emptive war against him, but was somehow unaware of the specifics of the Sept 11 plot. Notwithstanding the difficulties with this story, it has some explaining to do in relation to
a) why the Clinton administration had already turned down an offer for the extradition of Bin laden in 1996 - after naming him as wanted for the 1993 WTC bombing
b) allegations that Bin Laden had met with the local CIA station chief in Dubai in July 2001 - after the US had already begun its planning for the war against him. This leads us on to section 3.
c) why key members of the Bush adnimistration and their close associates maintained business relationships with the Bin Laden family.

SECTION 3: HISTORICAL AND BACKGROUND INFORMATION.

3.1 US GOVT AND ISLAMIC TERROR - BEST OF ENENMIES

The new story is that they allegedly feared Bin Laden so much that they wanted to get him first. So why didn't they arrest him when they had the chance in July 2001, according to this press report?

(Three alternative links. Note: There is a discrepency in the date of the report between 3.1.1 and 3.1.3, which at this stage, I can't explain.)

Here's more research indicating that the US and Islamic terror groups are not always the enemies they pretend to be. And that the US govt covertly has a close relationship with Bin Laden.
