9/11 Destroyed America

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

The events on September 11, 2001, changed the world. It was the excuse for the US government to launch military attacks on seven Middle Eastern countries, causing civilian casualties in the millions and sending waves of Muslim refugees into the Western world. The US government wasted trillions of dollars destroying countries and murdering women and children, while public infrastructure in the US deteriorated, Americans’ homes were foreclosed, and American health needs went unattended. 9/11 was also the excuse for the destruction of the protection that the US Constitution provided to ensure the liberty of the American citizen. Today no American has the protection of the civil liberty that the Constitution guarantees. http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2017/04/20/freedom-democracy-tyranny/

On September 11, 2001, when a neighbor called and told me to turn on the TV, I stopped what I was doing and turned on the TV. What I saw was the two World Trade Center Towers blowing up. I had often enjoyed lunch in the rooftop restaurant in one of the towers across the street from my Wall Street Journal office.

A miniscule by comparison frail aluminum airliner hit one massive steel tower and then another aluminum airliner hit the other. There were some plumes of orange outside the buildings. Then approximately after one hour, less in one case, more in the other, the two towers exploded floor by floor as they fell into their own footprint.

This was precisely the way the news anchors described what I was seeing. “It looks exactly like a controlled demolition,” the news anchors reported. And indeed it did. As a Georgia Tech student I had witnessed a controlled demolition, and that is what I saw on television, just as that was what the news anchors saw.

Later that day Larry Silverstein who owned, or held the lease on, the World Trade Center, explained on TV that the free fall collapse in the late afternoon of the third WTC skyscraper, Building 7, into its own footprint was a conscious decision to “pull” the building. Pull is the term used by controlled demolition to describe a building wired with explosives to be destroyed. Building 7 had not been hit by an airliner, and suffered only minor and very limited office fires. Silverstein’s statement was afterwards corrected by authorities to mean that the firemen were pulled from the building. However, many videos show the firemen already out of the building with the fireman stating that the building was going to be brought down.

As there is no doubt whatsoever that Building 7 was wired for demolition, the question is why?

Because Americans are an insouciant and trusting people and confident of the inherent goodness of their country, years passed before even experts noticed that the official story stood in total contraction to known laws of physics, was in total contraction to how buildings collapse from asymmetrical damage, and could not have collapsed due to being hit by airliners as the buildings met all code requirements for withstanding airliner collusions. Many did not even know that the third skyscraper, Building 7, had collapsed.

Professor Steven E. Jones, a professor of physics at BYU, was among the first to see that the official story was pure fantasy. His reward for speaking out was to have his tenure contract bought out by BYU, many believe under orders from the federal government backed up with the threat that all federal support of science at BYU would be terminated unless Stephen Jones was.

Cynthia McKinney, a black woman who represented a Georgia congressional district in the US House of Representatives was either much brighter or much braver than her white colleagues. She raised obvious questions about 9/11, questions begging to be asked, and lost her seat.

Approximately five years after 9/11, San Francisco architect Richard Gage noticed that the three WTC buildings did not fall down in any way consistent with the official explanation. He formed Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, currently about 3,000 members. This group includes high rise architects and structural engineers who actually are experienced in the construction of skyscrapers. In other words, they are people who know what they are talking about.

These 3,000 experts have said that the official explanation of the collapse of three skyscrapers stands in contradiction to known laws of physics, architecture, and structural engineering

In other words, the official explanation is totally impossible. Only an uneducated and ignorant public can believe the official 9/11 story. The US population fits this description.

A&E for 9/11 Truth is gradually gaining assent from architects and engineers. It is very difficult for an architect or engineer to support the truth, because the American population, which includes patriotic construction companies, whose employees fly American flags on their trucks, don’t want to hire architects and engineers who are “enemies of America aligned with Arab terrorists.” In America, if you tell the truth, you are in great danger of losing your customers and even your life.

Think now about physicists. How many physics faculties do you know that are not dependent on federal grants, usually for military-related work? The same for chemistry. Any physics professor who challenged the official story of 9/11 with the obvious fact that the story contravenes known laws of physics would endanger not only his own career but the careers of his entire department.

Truth in America is extremely costly to express. It comes at a high cost that hardly any can afford.

Our masters know this, and thus they can dispense with truth at will. Moreover, any expert courageous enough to speak the truth is easily branded a “conspiracy theorist.”

Who comes to his defense? Not his colleagues. They want rid of him as quickly as possible. Truth is a threat to their careers. They can’t afford to be associated with truth. In America, truth is a career-killing word.

In America, truth is becoming a synonym for “Russian agent.” Only Russian Agents tell the truth, which must mean that truth is an enemy of America. Lists are being prepared of websites that speak truth to power and thus are seditious. In the United States today people can lie at will without consequence, but it is deadly to tell the truth.

Support A&E for 9/11 Truth. These are heroic people. 9/11 was the manufactured excuse for the neoconservatives’ 16 years of war crimes against millions of Muslims peoples, remnants of which now seek refuge in Europe.

Neoconservatives are a tiny number of people. No more than a dozen are of any consequence. Yet they have used America to murder millions. And now they are fomenting war with Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. The world would never survive such a war.

Are Americans so insouciant that they will stand aside while a dozen neoconservative Zionists destroy the world?

In a word, yes.

Look for the Big Picture:
9-11 started the ball rolling.

Know that an Israeli firm handled security for the entire complex – this is separate from any security individual companies hired for their specific companies only.

Know that the US has rendered many MENA nations into a glob of jelly. Why? Generally, the reasons provided were lies.

Know about the Pipelines for oil and natural gas.

Know about Hezbollah lobbing rockets into Israel from Lebanon – weapons are provided by Iran and transported across Syria.

Know the Big Lie about Assad using Sarin.

Add it all up; all are related; ask Why.

The security contracts were owned by Marvin Bush and cousin “Wirt” Bush. http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/WRHARTICLES/911security.html

Members of the “Wirt” Bush family were cleared by investigators as regards their highly speculative short sales of airlines involved etc. The investigators explained the “Wirt” Bush Family could not possibly have had inside info, as there was no connection to the Family and the Saudi nationals that were blamed as the terrorists.

The Mossad were posing as the Gelatin or “B” Group (B is the designation on the plastic explosives).

Operation Ajax, 1953; the CIA kidnaps Mossadeq for Britain. Mossadeq was promising to nationalize Iranian oilfields- he came to power as democratically-elected, after he led a bloodless coup.

Kermit Roosevelt, Teddy’s nephew ran the Op. It ultimately led to 1979 and US awareness of Shia v Sunni Islam and tensions with the West that have come to be called, alternately: terrorism and Islamic Fundamentalism.

Incidentally, the true origin of Islamic Fundamentalism is Saudi Arabia. Since the rise of the Shia- literally, “Schismatics”, in opposition to Saudi Arabia, terrorism is the new platform for proxy war.

Read the Chilcot Report. The LIE that is Iraq and Afghanistan belongs to George Bush and Tony Blair.

The US is presently under attack- a hostile take-over, for all you Wall Street Fans.

The attack comes in the form of a Palace Coup and it is being directed from within our financial center by the minority elite.

The targets are US property rights- bogus foreclosures, predicated upon any number of Frauds and US Currency- more correctly: what is perceived to be US Currency- its not, its counterfeit.

Insofar as “Property Rights”- read about, by googling: “Ocwen”- a “Servicing Bank” that is being shut down in 22 different states by 22 separate state Attorneys General…

Insofar as “Perceived US Currency” – read about by googling anywhere from 600 to 1200 Trillion counterfeit US Dollars, owed to counterfeit US “Mortgage-Backed-Securities”, with NO “mortgages” in them.

Article One, Section Eight, explains, in unambiguous language: “The Congress shall have the power … To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States …”.

Doesn’t get any clearer than that… don’t have to find tax returns … or … look for phony birth certificates … or … match up serial numbers on weapons sold to drug dealers … or, any myriad of other distractions.

Building 7 hosted an international alphabet soup of investigative agencies looking into “Derivatives”.

Building 7 was destroyed with that investigation and those agencies.

The Clintons deregulated derivatives after George Bush senior provided them the lay-up that is the FTPA in 1992. Clinton deregulated derivatives in 1993.

1200 Trillion counterfeit US Dollars are now owed to counterfeit US Securities that pay out when derivatives’ bets are taken on margin as a Naked Short Sale Bets on an American Homes … aka: “Mortgage-Backed-Securities”, with NO “mortgages” in them.

Admin has long had a hard-on for truthers so I have, really out of respect for the owner of this site, avoided this topic. However I am an engineer. I deal with fluids and thermodynamics, not steel but physics are physics. Clearly the official story is bullshit. It is also clear to me that Israel had advanced knowledge as I have posted here on several occasions. That doesn’t mean that they did it. It’s also clear that 9/11 was the pearl harbor event that set in motion the goals of the Project for a New American Century, which of course is 100% neocon and 100% Israel first.

Who killed JFK? We’ll never know for sure. Same with 9/11 but the smell remains. I remember that day well. I happened to be travelling to a project site the night before but got in late. It was a Sunday night and I slept in. I awoke in the morning and turned on the TV in my hotel room while I showered. My first reaction was that we had been nuked. When I got to the construction trailer on the jobsite, I was talking to one of the project managers. My first thought was that it was eco terrorists…the WTC was an icon of global capitalism. When it was pinned on arabs, I thought it just too easy. I remember the comment from the project manager. He said, “if our own people did this, then we are truly fucked.” Indeed.

I just hope y0u all appreciate what a courageous person Paul C. Roberts is. He has been in the locus of power. He has things to lose by telling the truth as he sees it. I think he’s a national treasure.

Absolutely agree about PCR. If only he’d forget that word. “Insouciant”, twice every article.

It doesn’t take an engineer to see that the official 9/11 story is lies. Nice to be able to speak with that sort of authority, but unnecessary. There’s just so much evidence. How can all the eyewitness testimony be dismissed so lightly? And, of course, WTC 7. The third building, the one that most Americans have never even heard of.

Zara- Many times I have posted about building 7, I have stated that a 47 story building falling in it’s footprint in 2.6 seconds violated nearly every law of physics and could only have been controlled demo. Admin would pin my ears back and honestly I am at a loss that anyone would accept the official story.

PCR did not shed new light on the subject, another year has passed and I am still committed to truth and waiting for people to leave the matrix of lies and become vocal. If the truth can set you free then let 9/11 be the starting point.

“total contraction to known laws of physics”

I’m afraid that PCR’s insouciance toward proofreading has led him into an error in word usage. “Contradiction” is the word needed.

Ed, I wanted to ask Admin if he’s batting for the other team now; the truthers. He posted the article and didn’t follow up with a comment here. I’m not sure if the veil has come off.
I’m speaking as a long-time feminist who converted not so long ago.

I began to see the antagonism of working women to housewives, as if the choice some women make offends them. Housewives are an affront to their pretend independence. Feminazis want men to treat them as heroines, valiantly making their own way through life all day only to get home and indulge themselves with ice-cream and wine. They consider housewives to be kept women, lazy asses who contribute nothing to society.

Feminism befits chumps like me, men oppressed by manipulative women who hold out the promise of pussy for the chance to manipulate beta males who lack the self-confidence to just grab them by the pussy.

Since we have been conditioned to believe all the lies women tell, it’s only natural to believe all the lies the government tells us. Call a woman a liar and she will respond with an offended, What? Call your government a liar and it will respond with IRS audits, cops at the door, public humiliation for kicking a puppy.

What does all that have to do with 911? That was the turning point for the government. Just as women came to dominate the office and relegated men to the shit jobs, 911 was the point at which government became ascendant. No longer would government serve men like a housewife, now the bitch is large and in charge. Don your bikini and gag-ball, the dominatrix government will be calling the shots per the Patriot Act.

I still think it’s a trap. Jim is just waiting for enough comments about mini nukes and directed energy beams, and then he’ll jump out and start bonking coconuts. I’m not falling for it this time.

9/10/2001

Rumsfeld reports 2+ TRILLION is missing from pentagon.

9/11/2001
“airplane” hits pentagon. hits THE ROOM where the papers for the 2+ TRILLION investigation were stored.

“airplane” hits WTC1 and WTC2.

WTC 3 was not hit by anything and collapses due to “fire”. It had ALL the SEC paperwork for the ongoing insider trading investigations.

..

lets go back in time once again!

oklahoma city bombing.. bomb went off inside building near/in THE ROOM where the Whitewater (Clinton scandal) paperwork was held.

WACO.. Clinton/Reno ordered Vince “suicide in the park” Foster to send in the forces. Reason = BATF needed an excuse to increase its budget for police state + assault on Christian Freedom Loving Americans.

((WHO)) benefited from 9/11?

ONLY ((3)) of the ((4 THOUSAND)) ISRAELIS who worked WTC WERE AT their job and DIED in the WTC on 9/11

9/11 did NOT Destroy America.

Only an America that was already in the toilet, already enamored with the idea of all-powerful government, already subservient to the whims and wishes of the globalists who run the government from behind the scenes, already well-trained to bow down, pull out their flags, cheer for war, and unquestioningly bend over for any ass-reaming the two-party oligarchy would impose once an “attack” happened, would have allowed 9/11 to do to this nation what was done. Sorry, the same folks who screamed at the top of their lungs when the government waged immoral war against the Vietnamese, sat silently by while government butchers murdered men and women at Ruby Ridge and men, women, and children at Waco (mostly because a democrat was doing the butchering). The ones who screamed at the top of their lungs at the Ruby Ridge and Waco atrocities were the first to grab their flags and call for blood, bigger government, destruction of freedoms and liberties in the face of 9/11.

Had there been an America that had REAL principles, truly supported freedom, showed the proper disdain and fear of government power, and showed a respect for reasoned investigations BEFORE knee-jerk militarized responses, 9/11 would NOT HAVE HAPPENED because those who perpetrated and benefited from that day would have known that their agenda would NOT have been blindly embraced and cheered on. But such was the state of America on 9/11 and so much worse is the state of America today….I’m afraid.

I’m afraid you’re probably right on all points.

The only place that sort of thinking can lead, it seems to me, is that the US can not, will not, and really should not survive in anything like its present form. It’s funny, but Russia came out of the Soviet collapse way better than what we’re likely to come out of our own ongoing collapse. Poetic justice, considering that communism was foisted on the Russians by the Wall Street elites.

I suspect the best we can hope for is total disintegration of the state, several generations of existentialist struggle, and at the end of it perhaps a rebirth of the original spirit of this country. With much blood spilled along the way.

Okay, let’s disregard the towers and building 7. Shit happens. You are a barely trained “pilot” flying a 767. Your target is the Pentagon. The Pentagon is only four stories tall, but other than that is a huge. sprawling building. You are going almost 600 mph. Four stories looks like nothing from even a few thousand feet. You have one shot at this. One. Maybe you don’t know about ground effect. The soviets once built an aircraft designed solely to utilize this phenomenon to skim the sea surface and deliver cargo faster and more efficiently than ships. One chance. You can attempt to guide your mighty craft within a few feet of the ground to strike the side, with a high probability that you will hit dirt instead, or dive straight into the massive roof with virtually 100% certainty of hitting your target.

One shot. One.

What do you choose? What did they choose?

Splain this one, SSS…

That observation has the very same ring of truth that comes to anyone with a brain on active duty when visiting the Assassination Museum in Dallas. As you look out from the window next to the supposed sniper’s nest, you see instantly that the best shot at Kennedy comes as he approaches on Houston St. rather than an awkward shot for a right handed shooter on Elm.

But who can you believe, your lying eyes or our dear leaders?

I had a chance to visit the Texas School Book Depository for the first time last year during the 4th of July weekend.

Amazing to see it in person. I drove around Dealey Plaza, over the spot, and under the Triple Underpass a few times. Ran up the stairs and over the grassy knoll. Stood behind the fence. No way anyone would take a fade away shot through the tree from that window.

A few days after we got back.. The Dallas Shooter thing occurred.. Wife was freaked out since we walked all over the area.

Have you ever seen “The Men Who Killed Kennedy” series?

Hands down the BEST video series on the subject. ((History Channel)) which owns ((A&E)) BANNED parts 7-9 after ONE national broadcast. Amazon and other retailers sell Parts 1-5.

It took me YEARS to get a copy of all 9 episodes. I shared it online and now you can find it on YouTube.

Parts 1-5 are great too. 100% of the doctors who treated JFK contradict the Warren Commission.

Example of what is in parts 7-9:
LBJ mistress says LBJ did it
A 21-POINT FINGER PRINT in the “sniper’s nest” was found. It belonged to LBJ’s henchman.

Lots of other goodies.

Also look up JFK II the bush connection as well as Assassination of JFK Jr. – YouTube. Dude who made the series is a rabid Democrat.. However, if you ignore, some of his political bias, he presents some great facts!

EVERYONE who mattered was in Dallas that day including future Prime Minster ((Yitzhak Rabin)).

Final Judgement by Michael Collins Piper is an awesome book on the subject to discuss the ((other)) side.

CC,
I don’t know whether Oswald shot Kennedy or not but a buddy of mine who was a Delta sniper decided to test it years ago.
He bought an exact model of the rifle Oswald had and then found a spot where he could get the right distance and elevation.
His conclusion-it’s not a good sniper rifle,especially for multiple shots, and if Oswald made the shot(s) it was only by luck.

Right. The Mannlicher Carcano was an Italian military rifle that the Italian soldiers who had the misfortune of having to use it said never shot anyone on purpose. It is a piece of junk. The 1st report was that what was found was a Mauser 7.65 Mauser bolt-action rifle. Now that’s a sniper weapon.
