After CharlieSheen announced he had serious doubts about the events of 9-11, I got interested in taking a closer look.

The events of 9-11 are called the worst acts of terrorism in history, a modern “Pearl Harbor.” There is no doubt that Muslim extremists effected a plan to fly jets into the WTC. And there is no question that their acts were reprehensible and barbaric, and they should be brought to justice.

But, the official story is in doubt. And thoughtful people are raising their voices with questions, questions that if fully investigated might give a different picture of the genesis of our War on Terror.
The basics are these:

• In the months before 9-11, there was a ton of intelligence coming through on the terrorists plans, giving our government advance warning of what was about to happen. Bay Area example: Mayor Willie Brown told the SF Chronicle he was warned 8 hours before the attacks not to fly the next day.


• Steel buildings don’t fall when hit by planes, don’t fall when on fire. Most importantly, they don’t fall straight down at close to free fall speed – unless from a controlled demolition. That’s what engineers say; that’s what physicists say; that’s what fire department personnel said they heard (explosions). What we saw on 9-11 was most likely buildings being blown from within.


• Later that day, a 3^rd building (WTC7), not hit by any plane and with only a few minor fires, suddenly collapsed — straight down. FEMA could offer no explanation for the collapse; the 9/11 Commission Report didn’t even mention WTC 7; the NIST said over a year ago that at some future date they will issue a report on WTC 7.


• The remains of the WTC collapses were removed and destroyed as quickly as possible under Rudy Guliani’s orders, before they could be fully examined by engineers and other investigators.


• Marvin Bush, GW’s younger brother, was head of the security company (Securacom) for the WTC in the weeks before the buildings came down. Witnesses say there were multiple powerdowns in the buildings during the weeks before the attacks.


• The first photos taken after the attack on the Pentagon show the façade intact, and: there are no marks on the lawn in front of the entry point; no debris that would be corresponding to a 757; the hole is too small; and there were no bodies or engine parts. All tape from the many security cameras in the area were immediately confiscated by government personnel. Experienced pilots say that even a well-trained pilot would have had great difficulty flying a large plane at great speed that close to the ground, yet the terrorist pilot who allegedly did so nearly flunked out of pilot school.


• Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania: the crater resembles no other passenger plane crash ever. Debris was strewn far and wide from the scene of the alleged crash. This is not what happens in a crash; it’s what happens when a plane is shot down.

What happened really? It reasonably could go something like this:

Muslims extremists planned an attack on the WTC as they had done in 1993. Neo-cons needed a Pearl Harbor. No chances were taken with potentially inept terrorists. Before the NYFD could fully assess and begin putting out the fires from the jet crashes, the buildings were blown down. A missile was shot into the least-populated side of the Pentagon. Flight 93 was blown out of the sky before it could get to wherever it was going.

You know what it all means. Although the terrorist’s acts caused several hundred deaths, the remaining deaths, almost 3,000, were caused by some other group. Why? Isn’t it obvious? Look at what’s happened to our country and our world since then. . . and what is yet to come.

“I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people. Such a practice is forbidden even in the course of a battle.”
