The September 11, 2001 Attacks

Like many buildings built in the 1970s,
the twin towers were constructed with vast quantities of cancer-causing
asbestos. The cost of removing the Twin Tower asbestos? A year's
worth of revenues at a minimum; possibly as much as the value
of the buildings themselves. The cost to disassemble the Twin
Towers floor by floor would have run into the double-digit billions.
In addition, the Port Authority was prohibited from demolishing
the towers because the resulting asbestos dust would cover the
entire city, which it did when they collapsed, resulting in many
cancers with a confirmed link to the WTC dust._Despite its questionable
status, in January of 2001, Larry Silverstein made a $3.2 billion
bid for the World Trade Center. On July 24, the Port Authority
accepted the offer. Silverstein then took out an insurance policy
that, understandably, covered terrorist attacks, which happened
seven weeks later. To date, Silverstein has been awarded almost
$5 billion from nine different insurance companies. What was an
asbestos nightmare turned into a $1.8 billion profit within seven
weeks.
Donald Rumsfeld said about the Pentagon
on the morning of September 10, 2001: "According to some
estimates we cannot track $2.3 trillion in transactions."
That bombshell was pretty much forgotten by the next morning.
So, as a reward for losing $8,000 for every man, woman, and child
in America, taxpayers patriotically forked over another $370 billion
and counting to invade Iraq. True to form, the Pentagon promptly
lost $9 billion of that money, too.
Eight days after the attacks, the 342-page
Patriot Act was given to Congress. That same week, letters armed
with anthrax from a US military lab entered the mail. Subsequently,
while Congressional offices were evacuated, examined, cleaned
and nasal cavities swabbed, the Patriot Act remained largely unread.
Then, with little debate, the Patriot Act became law, giving the
Bush administration unprecedented power to access people's medical
records, tax records, information about the books they bought
or borrowed and the power to conduct secret residential searches
without notifying owners that their homes had been searched.
In early 2001, executives from Shell,
BP, and Exxon met with Dick Cheney's Energy Task Force while it
was developing its new national energy policy. Later, the companies
freely admitted interest in profiting from Iraq's oil fields,
even before the US invaded Iraq. And now? A new Iraq hydrocarbon
law expected to pass in March 2007 will open the door for international
investors, led by BP, Exxon and Shell, to siphon off 75 percent
of Iraq oil wealth for the next thirty years.
According to statements by Lt. Col. Anthony
Shaffer, a Bronze Star recipient with 22 years of experience in
intelligence operations, a classified intelligence program codenamed
Able Danger had uncovered two of the three 9/11 terrorist cells
a year before the attacks and had identified four of the hijackers.
Shaffer alerted the FBI in September of 2000, but the meetings
he tried to set up with bureau officials were repeatedly blocked
by military lawyers. Four credible witnesses have come forward
to verify Shaffer's claims. _In August 2001, a Pan Am International
Flight Academy instructor warned the FBI that a student (Zacarias
Moussaoui) might use a commercial plane loaded with fuel as a
weapon. The instructor asked "Do you realize that a 747 loaded
with fuel can be used as a bomb?" Moussaoui was then arrested
on immigration charges, but despite the repeated urging of the
school and local agents, FBI headquarters refused a deeper investigation.
The US also received dozens of detailed warnings (names, locations,
dates) from the intelligence agencies of Indonesia, Great Britain,
Germany, Italy, Egypt, Jordan, India, Argentina, Morocco, Russia,
Israel, France and even the Taliban. It would seem that the entire
world was onto the bungling Saudi hijackers and somewhat perplexed
that the US wasn't taking preventative actions. But in each case
the US, as if by design, chose not to investigate. Instead. Condoleezza
Rice, on May 16, 2002, stated: "I don't think anybody could
have predicted that these people would take an airplane and slam
it into the World Trade Center, take another one and slam it into
the Pentagon."_We also know that on the morning of 9/11,
multiple Air Force war games and drills were in progress. The
hijackers would have never made it to their targets without these
war games: Operation Northern Vigilance ensured that many jet
fighters that would have normally been patrolling the east coast
were flying over Alaska and northern Canada in a drill that simulated
a Russian air attack, complete with false radar blips. _Remarkably,
operation Vigilant Guardian simulated hijacked planes in the north
eastern sector, while real hijackers were in the same airspace.
This drill had NORAD and the Air Force reacting to false blips
on FAA radar screens. Some of these blips corresponded to real
military aircraft in the air posing as hijacked aircraft. That's
why when NORAD's airborne control officer, Lt. Col. Dawne Deskins,
heard Boston claim it had a hijacked airliner, her first words
were, "It must be part of the exercise."
