Well, not even 911 Commissioners believe the official story. Sen Graham has gone on record saying that another state was involved in the attacks - although he was hinted at the US' best allay among the Arabs, Saudi Arabia. Even Dick Cheney had to admit that the White House has not made a case that argued that Bin Laden was responsible,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nX-KQbYXnk. And, of course, the Justice Department never charged Bin Laden with responsibility for 911.

By 2006, 3% of Pakistanis believed that Bin Laden was involved.

There is actually no reliable evidence that Al Qaida or Bin Laden had anything to do with 911. The best the Commission could come up with was a waterboarded Al Qaida operative he met with the hyjackers in Hamburg. But even German intelligence who watched them night and day said they didn't notice anything.

Realitiy Check should get a reality check.

3) The US Government believe the story
4) Why would the justice department charge Bin Laden!?

A lot less than that are people who are Atheists..... meaning that way over 99% of Pakistanis believe in the supernatural. Hmmmm.... are these people's mental state to be trusted. They believe something like a fairy tale because it is written in an old book from times of superstition

>> There is actually no reliable evidence that Al Qaida or Bin Laden had anything to do with 911.

Except all the evidence you neglected to list detailing everything and the Terrorist's videos saying "we did it". Oh an Bin Laden saying "we did it".

I an keen on knowing more about these alternative 911 theories of yours. Could you perhaps set up a web page or blog where you and like minded others could all come together to discuss it at length. Who knows with a little bit of effective marketing I am sure a book or DVD could be produced that would appeal to the "lives at home with mother, spends a lot of time on the Internet' marketplace

How about the great quote from Alastair Campbell when talking about 911 truthers

"I meet this people from time to time at public events and frankly I'm always surprised they are allowed out without supervision. At first I tried to engage with them and run through the facts but after I while I realised they don't want a debate, they don't want to examine the events and they certainly don't want to admit their many mistakes. What they want to do is accuse, more than anything else they like accusing people of things, of being part of the 'cover up' of being 'in on it' of knowing something. It the same way that some people need religion or sport or involvement in something to define their lives these people need to feel their is a conspiracy that only they fully understand; it defines them and allows them to feel better about themselves.

Vital questions UK mainstream media will not ask

11.09.2012 12:56

Such as:

Are these people really still banging on about this ?

Weren't all their theories debunked years ago ?

Isn't this just about flogging stuff to the gullible who probably distrust the moon landings and Kennedy assassination as well ?

Is the 911 truth movement simply proof that some people will simply not face facts even when the evidence is overwhelming that they are wrong.

Does questioning the 911 truth movement by its very definition make me part of the vast Illuminati / New World Order / Mossad / CIA / MI6 / Rothschild / Bush Family Skull & Bones organisation that really runs the world ?

Why A Physics Teacher Stopped Believing The 9/11 Myth

11.09.2012 20:40

Why A Physics Teacher Stopped Believing The 9/11 Myth

Why I Stopped Believing The 9/11 Myth
"Let us never tolerate outrageous conspiracy theories concerning the attacks of September the 11th; malicious lies that attempt to shift the blame away from the terrorists, themselves, away from the guilty."
George Bush addressing the United Nations General Assembly on November 10th 2001.

 http://whyistoppedbelieving911myth.wordpress.com/
 http://whyistoppedbelieving911myth.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/why-i-s topped-believing-the-911-myth1.doc

It has become a media cliche that everyone remembers what they were doing the day Kennedy was assassinated, but it is a cliche that I haven't heard in years (just about seven years to be more accurate). Today we live with the aftermath of a different event that binds the collective psyche – an event that was both more terrible and more shocking. So shocking indeed that, rather like death itself, it is still only rarely mentioned in polite company.

I was teaching when I first heard news of what was happening on the morning of September 11th 2001. I was trying to explain the importance of error analysis in science to my latest class of first year students, when one of them cut in. Sorry, he said, can I just tell you something. And then he began explaining how both of the twin towers had been struck by aircraft and that the first had already collapsed. You might easily imagine that I had no idea at all what to say. Certainly, I didn't reprimand him for listening to his radio when he was supposed to be learning about experimental uncertainty. I didn't even ask him to turn the radio off. Instead I simply asked him whether what he was telling me was true (since it sounded like pure fiction) and then after a few seconds of bewildered silence, I turned back to the board and continued with the lesson. But then I doubt there is anything you could meaningfully say at such a moment.

Driving home, I put the radio on. With the rolling accounts and reports, my dim imaginings began to reify into a more solid horror. Arriving back I wondered whether or not I should turn the TV on to watch such carnage. It was obviously so dreadful and I wondered what could justify wanting to see it at all. Could I really have become so ghoulish? I watched of course, and then who didn't. We all had to watch the horror, if only to make it believable.

Next day, still trying to make sense of the new reality, I went out for a walk by the river, and I remember thinking how odd it was that nothing had changed. That the river flowed by just as reliably as ever, that the birds sang no less surely, and that what had so irrevocably shaken the world had somehow left no obvious indelible mark away from its own margin. I realise, of course, that these are more commonly the kinds of thoughts that accompany a bereavement. But this wasn't mourning in any ordinary sense, since you cannot feel bereft of those you never knew – the vicarious grief displayed at Diana's funeral a few years earlier having been nothing but a grim emotional tourism. No, the loss that so many of us felt after September 11th was real and different in kind from the morbidity in the aftermath Diana's demise. It involved something like the loss of innocence.

Later, in the pub I got talking with some friends. Aside from the horror there were still many questions. Who did it and why? And what were the likely repercussions? Already the media talk was focussing on the effects to international finance, but James, my economist friend, told us that he didn't think the markets would be seriously affected. (A matter on which he was proved largely correct as it mapped out.) As for who did it, well it just wasn't clear. Perhaps it was another attack like the Oklahoma bombing, carried out by an internal militia; after all, prior to September 11th, Oklahoma had been the most serious terrorist attack on American soil. Certainly, there was no tangible evidence of involvement by a militant Islamic group, or obvious links to Osama Bin Laden. Such proof of an Al Qaeda mission only came to light later, on the day after the attacks, after the FBI had discovered the car, hired by Mohammed Atta, and subsequently abandoned at Boston airport. A flight manual in Arabic and a copy of the Koran had been left behind. And meanwhile, George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice and others in the administration were maintaining that the intelligence services had received no forewarning of any sort of imminent attack. No clues whatsoever that any group had plans to use domestic airliners as missiles. Well, actually it turns out that this wasn't quite true either.[1]

But hold on, already something is more profoundly wrong here. Because within hours of the attacks on the day itself, the news reports on American networks were already talking about "all the hallmarks of an Al Qaeda attack" (in spite of its obviously unprecedented method and magnitude). Pure conjecture and guesswork, then. Yet given the surprise of the attacks, how on earth could the networks have seemingly been more clued-up than the White House. Well, it turns out that we've missed a bit again...

By an extraordinary fluke, we later learned that Mohammed Atta's luggage had failed to meet its connecting flight. And that, by virtue of this good fortune, the FBI were, within only a few hours, able to establish a list of details including names, dates of birth, known residences, visa status, for all of the hijackers. This, at least, is the official story (as it now stands – as opposed to the one we were originally told), and so it follows that the networks may indeed have known more than they were letting on. Or does it go too far to speculate that they may have received some form of special briefing?

*

But then another odd thing occurred. On September 16th, a video was broadcast on Al Jazeera in which Osama Bin Laden denied all responsibility:

"I stress that I have not carried out this act, which appears to have been carried out by individuals with their own motivation."

To many, including myself, it seemed strange that the orchestrator of such a devastating attack had refused to take credit for his success. Oh, don't worry about that, we were told, this is not the way the Islamists do business. They much prefer to lurk in the shadows. In any case, Mohammed Atta's suitcase would provide reason enough to send the first waves of troops into Afghanistan, and the media's attention (which gets shorter by the year) soon switched to covering the vastly more exciting spectacle of war. As for Bin Laden, well apparently, they'd be "smoking him out" and bringing him home "dead or alive." But like many things surrounding the September 11th attacks, even the urgent manhunt for Bin Laden has been largely forgotten. Bin Laden will surely never be found and judging by later reports no one, and least of all George Bush, is terribly bothered.

In any case, and as luck would have it again, another video of Bin Laden was quickly unearthed. Whilst carrying out their mission, U.S. forces had stumbled on the tape, recovering it from the ruins of house in Jalalabad. The tape, broadcast on various news networks from December 13, 2001, shows Bin Laden apparently laughing and joking with Khaled al-Harbi[2], sharing delight in their reminiscence of the atrocity, and of course, freely admitting to their own responsibility. But then it's just a videotape – a tape that many experts believe to be a fraud.[3]

*

At the time it never occurred to me that this official version of events might be significantly untrue. Certainly I was surprised by how quickly the FBI had recovered their evidence, and there were a few other reasons to doubt the whole truth of the official version. Taking flight simulations on a hijacking caused me to think only of the hapless German pilot in the vintage British comedy Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines, desperately trying to avoid descent into the sea whilst the pages of his flight manual are blown to the wind. There was also the more mind-boggling question of why one of the alleged hijackers had packed his last will and testament. I mean just what sort of goon would bring their will when embarking on a suicide mission? As for the miraculous survival of a passport from one of the hijackers that escaped the fires and the subsequent collapse of the World Trade Centre, to float down fully intact a few blocks away, well...[4] Here was George Monbiot's considered opinion at the time:

"Then there was the passport. The security services claim that a passport belonging to one of the hijackers was extracted from the rubble of the World Trade Center. This definitive identification might help them to track the rest of the network. We are being asked to believe that a paper document from the cockpit of the first plane – the epicentre of an inferno which vapourised steel – survived the fireball and fell to the ground almost intact. When presented with material like this, I can't help suspecting that intelligence agents have assembled the theory first, then sought the facts required to fit it."[5]

But, but, surely that would mean the evidence was planted?

Yet, in spite of such ludicrous coincidences and inconsistencies, and though undoubtedly it had flashed through my mind that somehow the people in charge – people I generally wouldn't trust to tell me the correct time – might have contrived just to "let it happen", well even this seemed a wrongful thought. Not wrong, but indecent. As if I were treading on graves.

Over a year passed. Back home in America the tough guys were now shifting the blame for September 11th onto Saddam Hussein[6] This was crazy, of course – surely everyone knew it wasn't true. So in Britain we got the other story. The one that said Iraq was swarming with so-called WMDs – when the truth, as we all knew, was that most of the world's "weapons of mass destruction" are still mostly packed into silos in America. In any case the media were already happily chasing off in the new direction, as the bunker-busting bombs in the Tora Bora mountains became yesterday's news, and the sound of sabre rattling toward Baghdad grew to a second crescendo.

Meantime, an official inquiry into the events of September 11th had finally been opened in late November (441 days after the dust first began to settle on Ground Zero), though it would take a further year and a half before, in summer 2004, the Kean-Hamilton Commission issued their final report. News of testimony from that inquiry barely dribbled back to Britain, lost for the most part amidst the rising tides of bellicose hysteria about Saddam's WMDs.

*

By 2004, I'd more or less stopped thinking about September 11th. If Al Qaeda hadn't carried out the attacks then surely it must have been another terrorist group, and probably one with similar Islamic origins and shared anti-American intentions. The official story remained the only credible account – even when parts of that account were altogether implausible. For instance, what really did happen to Flight 93, or the fourth plane? Had it really been brought down in a courageous attempt by the passengers to overthrow the hijackers? There certainly wasn't much wreckage on the ground near Shanksville. And how was it that yet another passport had survived unscathed, along with an immaculate bandana, when the plane itself was almost nowhere to be found? Like many, I imagined that it had most likely been shot down, which was not merely understandable, but given such circumstances, might have been obligatory. It was conceivable that the more heroic Hollywood version had simply been overwritten. Lies, perhaps, given the circumstances did it really matter... hadn't America suffered enough already?

Then, out of the blue, my brother-in-law loaned me a copy of a book entitled "9/11: The New Pearl Harbour". You might be interested in this, he told me, though admitting that he hadn't yet read it himself. Suddenly my doubts were about to grow..........

We still have the right to know the truth…

Hmmm?

12.09.2012 10:30

Yes 911 has been investigated before, but the real test is identifying by whom and how well?

If however you are content to believe the official story and the convenience of evil moose limbs, then by all means turn away when others seek more meaningful, factually based answers.

Do not though, seek to hinder or threaten those that are not satisfied with such comforting illusions, less you appear the fool.

I expect that you will find a 'reason' to turn from open debate about the matter and encourage others to enter into a resemblance of soviet style psychiatric musings about those who choose to focus on continual investigation.

Yes, this is a obvious provocation designed to prompt further discussion.

I point to the 911 Commission report, US Justice Department and Dick Cheney to show that there is no reliable evidence that Bin Laden or Al Qaida had anything to do with 911 and my comment disappears.

your full of yourself aren't you?

bet you get off on the power you imagine runs through your fingers ...

... its an illusion, as is the notion that this site has any respect or relevance any more

don't you read what people at other sites - and even ones that still come here - say about this place?

if this is a newswire exclusively, why even wind us up by giving the impression that we are free to comment[sic] just remove the comments section totally - saying 'no discussion here' is just replicating the entire spectrum of mainstream media, left to right - have you no shame?

you have moderated yourselves out of existence - its embarrassing

Why are comments that are sympathetic to the 911 Truth Movement allowed? Why is it thought that the concerns of the movement are hostile to genuine Progressives (rather than elite sponsored ones)?

Vital questions UK mainstream media will not ask

17.09.2012 13:47

Such as:

Are these people really still banging on about this ?

Weren't all their theories debunked years ago ?

Isn't this just about flogging stuff to the gullible who probably distrust the moon landings and Kennedy assassination as well ?

Is the 911 truth movement simply proof that some people will simply not face facts even when the evidence is overwhelming that they are wrong.

Does questioning the 911 truth movement by its very definition make me part of the vast Illuminati / New World Order / Mossad / CIA / MI6 / Rothschild / Bush Family Skull & Bones organisation that really runs the world ?

Get a life
