Mary Cranford [e] I would like to thank those who put this together - everyone in this country needs to watch it!!! There are too many who HAVE forgotten and would like us to all just sweep it under the rug, taking away the honor and dignity of those who made the sacrifices as well as the freedom of this country. As much as we all hate war, it is sometimes necessary to preserve the luxurious life we have and the freedom to live it. May God continue to bless our troops, our president, and all those who support this mission of freedom!!!!!!!!!!!! Monday, May 28th 2007 - 04:00:42 PM

Siavash Amani [e] [h] I came to this land 1963 3 months before Kennedy was killed. This country gave me opportunity to go to University and get a degree in Engineering. This country was best place in the world to live in, still is, but not as good. This country took so many Moslem from different Islamic country how did not have dissent living among Moslem, and give them every thing. Finally, must become member of terrorist organization. I was born Moslem, through study fund that Islam is not a religion, but a clot. We hear all the time that Islam is full of mercy, but is nothing, except full of shate. Quran is not word of god, Quran was crated by Mohammad and dictated to him by a person name SALMANE FARSI (an Iranian run away prance) they both created this book in order be able to kill people and make them to obey them. BANI GHORAIZ , and two other Jewish tribes levied in Madineh way before Mohammed come to life, he either be headed them or chased them out of their lands and home for generations. If to day we do not challenge Moslems here and their organizations, tomorrow American must put up with a dictatorial Islamic Government. I love America from bottom of my heart.

Barbara J Waterbury [e] On March 14, 2007 our son Spc. Forrest John Waterbury gave of his life for that of another soldier. He died with honor protecting his brothers in Iraq when they came under sniper fire. This country should honor all who have fallen for us by naming a new street after them. This way, every day at least a number of people will think of them when they give out their address, have mail delivered, write out a check, etc. I am writing to congress, senate or anyone else who knows how or can help us have a bill passed that would require one street be named after one of our HEROS. It does not cost anything, the price has already been paid in the battle fields and on own our soil. Start this in your hometown. My son completed his final mission with honor on March 14, 2007. Make this your mission. "Remember their names...A Street for John" Barbara Waterbury Mother of Spc. Forrest John Waterbury "Rest well sweet soldier" Wednesday, April 11th 2007 - 09:41:00 PM

Bob Waligunda [e] [h] As we approach the sixth anniversary, it appears that there are many Americans who have forgotten. We must not allow those who place politics above our country and our constitution to drive the agenda, and sit idly by while the truth and message gets squelched by the unpatriotic left wing media and those anti-American members of the Congress and Senate, who continue to hate America. Never forget, and rise up to challenge to become informed, get active in ridding our country of this cancer, and see to it that this never happens again. Information can be attained by listening to talk radio and reading the many factual conservative books and publications on the market. Activism can be achieved by registering to vote and voting, as well as writing letters and emails to your newspapers and government representatives. Talk to your family, friends and neighbors, and let's take our country back! Wednesday, March 28th 2007 - 10:36:00 PM

Shirley [e] First off I had this site in my favorite folders since I first found it and apparantly not long after it was made. Even today it is still hard looking at the photos and videos and seeing the tragic loss of innocent lives. Thank you for the site and to the men and women that are Firefighters and Police Officers, my thoughts and prayers go with you all each day...I know you are not saint's but you do the best that you can do and you do a job that many of us would never do for any amount of money....thank you and God bless you for that. And to the morons that because of the freedom they have here can spout off the idiotic ideas that they do and believe America to be so bad....even some American born people........might I suggest a permanent vacation spot in Iran, Iraq, North Korea, and the many other lovely areas where you can NOT speak with freedom. Thank you again and keep up the great work men and women of the Fire and Police Dept. we support you and hold you up in prayer each day. Friday, March 23rd 2007 - 10:17:59 PM

Our troops died keeping the dogs of war and terror off their front porch. Keep them busy over there and we will be safer here. To many of our people don't understand sacrifice for sacrifice' sake. You have a great site, keep up the good work. Maybe you could add a tribute to our troops to this as an ongoing tribute. Sincerly, Sgt. Bruce A. Schabel Ret. Monday, January 22nd 2007 - 10:45:50 AM

Michael A. Cormier [e] [h] Thank you for designing this web page! I retired from the US Navy in 1996. I have served several communities as a volunteer firefighter from 1985 through 2000. Our oldest son currently serves in the Navy as a Seabee. I am saddened by the stance and attitude of the majority of media outlets who instead of encouraging our men and women in uniform, find fault at every turn and discourage our defenders of freedom at every opportunity. I am also saddened by my fellow countrymen who would rather turn the other cheek to the Islamic Jihad that has been declared against our country and our right to exist. Carry on and please continue your vision for as long as you can! God Bless You and your family! Friday, January 19th 2007 - 03:55:57 AM

I know that everytime I watch it I will cry uncontrolably and I am reminded of why it is that I am a firefighter. If I am questioned as to why it is that I became a firefighter I ask them, "Have you already forgotten 9-11?" I want everyone to see that small video clip because it is so powerful and it does not sugarcoat what really happened on that day. I am with the Illinois Valley Fire Department of Southern Oregon and I promise that I will never forget 9-11. Saturday, January 13th 2007 - 02:16:11 AM

fascist billybob [e] . Where is the plane that crashed into the Pentagon? Where are the wings, the tail, the two 9-foot Rolls Royce steel engines, the fuselage, etc? How does a 757 with a wingspan of 125 feet fit into a 16 by 20 foot initial impact hole? Why were only five photos of "something" hitting the Pentagon released that certainly didn’t look like a 757? Why did the FBI confiscate all other videos and photos of the Pentagon crash? Why didn’t any of the Pentagon’s five antiaircraft batteries shoot the plane down? One large piece of evidence that was found was covered in blue tarp and hauled away into obscurity! They did find a 3-foot engine, which is coincidentally the same size as the Global Hawk’s engine. Also, many eyewitnesses saw a "plane that appeared to hold 8-12 people" hit the building. 2. Why the apparent "STAND DOWN" by the FAA, NORAD, and NMCC on 9/11? NORAD had routinely intercepted planes 67 times earlier that year within 20 minutes each time and NEVER had a failure like they did on 9/11, nor after 9/11. On June 1, 2001, new instructions issued by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff reassigned aircraft interception authority to Rumsfeld, contradicting normal procedures. When either radar and cockpit contact is blocked, when transponders are turned off, or when planes deviate from their flight plan, standard military procedure is to scramble fighter jets immediately in order to regain contact with the pilot. According to Richard Meyers (then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) and NORAD spokesman Mike Snyder, NORAD did NOTHING (for over an hour) until AFTER the Pentagon was hit! When they finally did, they scrambled F-16’s from Langley Air Force Base 120 miles from the Pentagon, NOT Andrews AFB 12 miles away. To top off this peculiar event, the F-16’s conveniently traveled at 400 MPH, well under their 1500 MPH capacity, and they of course didn’t make it in time to the Pentagon. Because this was a clear violation of standard operating procedures, where are the reprimands? (Also see #24) Two months prior to 9/11, the FAA, FEMA, NORAD, DOD, and the White House were engaged in at least 35 drills including a series of elaborate War Games, anti-terror drills and hijack Field Training Exercises (FTX). They had 5 drills on the very morning of 9/11 – Operation Northern Vigilance, Biowarfare Exercise Triopod II, Operation Vigilant Guardian, Operation Northern Guardian, and Operation Vigilant Warrior. One drill covering New York City, involved hijacked planes used as missiles to attack prominent buildings! MASCAL, a mock terrorist exercise, was held in the Secretaries of Defense conference room on October 24-26, 2000. This exercise required emergency response teams, members of the defense protective services, and U.S. government officials to conduct emergency simulations in preparation for possible attacks on the Pentagon headquarters at the hands of incoming passenger planes. 3. Heat from burning jet fuel was reportedly the sole cause of the WTC collapses. What a ludicrous theory! 1. Steel melts at 2750°F. 2. The steel in the Towers was certified by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. to withstand 2000°F for 6 hours! 3. Jet fuel produces a maximum temperature of 1800°F in a special combustion chamber. Theories that claim the steel melted from the jet fuel fire violate the laws of physics! Also, steel frame buildings have NEVER collapsed due to fires! Steel frame buildings cannot collapse at free-fall speed, symmetrically, straight down into a relatively small pile of rubble due to fire. That’s a fact. WTC maintenance workers confirm massive explosions in the sub-basement area that closely coincided with the aircraft impacts on the upper floors. FDNY rescuers also confirm coordinated explosions "like demolition charges" in the North Tower, as they escaped. The media conveniently failed to show these witnesses. According to civil engineering professor Hyman Brown, the WTC’s construction manager, WTC 1 and 2 were designed to survive an impact and resulting fires from a collision by the largest commercial aircraft at the time, a Boeing 707, carrying 23,000 gallons of fuel. He also stated the towers "could have easily withstood multiple airplane crashes". Another feature that would be expected only if explosives were used to slice the steel columns would be molten steel, and its existence at the WTC site was indeed reported by several witnesses, including the two main figures involved in the clean up, Peter Tully, president of Tully Construction, and Mark Loizeaux, president of Controlled Demolition, Inc. Tully said that he saw pools of "literally molten steel" at the site. Loizeaux said that several weeks after 9/11, when the rubble was being removed, "hot spots of molten steel" were found "at the bottoms of the elevator shafts of the main towers, down seven basement levels". Hot spots were recorded up to 1377°F 5 DAYS AFTER 9/11! To top off this peculiar event, the steel structures and columns were quickly removed from the site (before any examination and to the objection of fire safety officials, firefighters, and victims’ families) and shipped to China and India to be recycled! (The real cause of the collapses was a highly sophisticated controlled demolition!) 4. How did WTC 7 collapse when no plane hit it? The collapse of Building 7 was later admitted to be a demolition by owner Larry Silverstein on a PBS interview in Sept. 2002. In a phone call with the FDNY chief regarding building 7, he said "We've had such terrible loss of life; maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it. And they made that decision to pull and we watched the building collapse" referring to the demolition of building 7. Larry later explains that "pull it" meant to evacuate firefighters, but there were no firefighters in the building at that time! Also, the FDNY is not equipped or trained to "pull" Building 7 in a controlled demolition as Larry stated. Nor can any building be prepared for such a well-designed demolition in the few minutes after Larry asked to "pull it". Coincidentally, Silverstein assumed a 99-year lease on the WTC Towers on July 24, just six weeks before Sept. 11. After the attacks, Larry boldly asserted he was entitled to twice the insurance policy value because "The two hijacked airliners that struck the 110-story twin towers Sept. 11 were separate ‘occurrences’ for insurance purposes, entitling him to collect twice on $3.6 billion collective worth of the policies, or $7.2 billion." (Do you think he wanted building 7 to collapse? The official FEMA report on WTC 7 concludes "The specifics of the fires in WTC 7 and how they caused the building to collapse remain unknown at this time." Nice investigation there!) 5. Don’t believe that our government is capable or that ruthless to murder Americans to justify a war in Iraq? Read about "Operation Northwoods", which shows plans that Lyman Lemnitzer and the Joint Chiefs of Staff drew up in 1962 and approved for what may be the most corrupt plan ever created by the U.S. government. They proposed launching a secret and bloody war of terrorism against their own country in order to trick the American public into supporting an ill-conceived war they intended to launch against Cuba. The plan called for innocent people to be shot on American streets; a commercial plane full of college students to be shot down; a wave of violent terrorism to be launched in Washington, D.C., Miami, and elsewhere. They even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." People would be framed for bombings they did not commit; planes would be hijacked. Using phony evidence, all of it would be blamed on Castro, thus giving Lemnitzer and his cabal the excuse, as well as the public and international backing they needed to launch their war. 6. Why the strange pattern of debris from Flight 93? Where is the plane? Where are the bodies? Wally Miller, Sumerset County coroner stated, "I stopped being coroner after about 20 minutes because there were no bodies there." Ohio Mayor Michael White reported "A Boeing 767 out of Boston made an emergency landing Tuesday at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport due to concerns that it may have a bomb aboard. The plane had been moved to a secure area of the airport, and was evacuated. United verified the plane as Flight 93, but was deeply concerned about another jetliner in the vicinity, Flight 175." The government claims the plane exploded on impact yet a one-ton section of the engine was found over a mile away and other light debris was found scattered over eight miles away! Several witnesses heard "a loud bang" just before the plane began to drop and others saw a small military type plane flying around shortly before UA93 crashed. Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz said, "The Air Force was tracking the hijacked plane that crashed in Pennsylvania and had been in position to bring it down if necessary." The official theory says Flight 93 crashed at 10:03, but seismic analysis shows 10:06. Is that why there is 3 minutes missing from the CVR and the FBI is still hiding the analysis of the FDR & the air traffic control tape from that flight? How did passengers on flight 93 make cell phone calls while in flight? Regular cell phones don't work on commercial airliners flying at normal altitudes. Don’t believe these calls could’ve been staged? On February 1, 1999, a new voice morphing technology was introduced to Gen. Carl Steiner (former Commander-in-chief, US Special Operations Command) at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. By taking a 10-minute digital recording of Steiner’s voice, scientist George Papcun was able to clone his speech patterns and develop an accurate facsimile so exact, it even fooled Steiner! He was so impressed, he asked for a copy of the tape. 7. The invasion of Iraq was actually planned back in 1992 (during Bush I) by Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld, Perle, and Lewis Libby in their "Defense Planning Guidance". They later audaciously proposed a basic blueprint for U.S. world domination in PNAC’s "Rebuilding America’s Defenses". PNAC’s Sept. 2000 Statement of Principles - which states "the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor" - would consequently advance their policies, i.e. justify wars and "regime changes". When they got back into power in 2001 they had an opportunity to enact their plan. The problem was that they needed a catalyst, an event that would justify these invasions. Their operational plans were then drawn up in June 2001, and 9/11 was treated as a Pearl Harbor pretext. Their original basis for war was to unseat the Taliban. They were claiming that the primary reason for these hostilities would be the Taliban's unwillingness to cooperate with UN inspectors, a pretext that would have not gone over well. They received a better pretext for attacking with the 9/11 attacks. Of course what they really wanted was to aggressively expand U.S. (globalist) influence throughout the region, and eventually secure a pipeline through Afghanistan for the benefit of UNOCAL and other big globalist oil companies. Another "smoking gun" is the Downing Street memo, which contains an overview of a secret July 23, 2002 meeting where British intelligence officials visited Washington informing Prime Minister Tony Blair that war was nearly inevitable with Iraq. 8. Usually in high crimes, investigators follow the money trail to find the perpetrator. Not in this case of never-ending coincidences and anomalies. On September 10, ISI agent Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh made a wire transfer of $100,000 to Mohamed Atta's bank account in Florida at the instruction of General Mahmoud Ahmad, the Director of the ISI. "Money man" General Ahmad was in Washington on 9/11, arriving on Sept. 4. He first met with CIA Director George Tenet until Sept. 9, and then met with officials in the Pentagon, the NSC, and the State Department on Sept. 13. The chairmen of the House and Senate Intelligence committees Porter Goss and Bob Graham had breakfast with General Ahmad on Capitol Hill the very morning of Sept. 11! (Can you say conflict of interest?!) Due to pressure from the Bush administration, General Ahmad was subsequently forced to resign on October 8, 2001, effectively blocking any further investigation into the matter. (How convenient!) 9. What ever happened to the Anthrax sent by terrorists? The letters contained a specific type of high quality mil-spec weaponized Anthrax made only by a United States military lab at USAMRIID Fort Detrick, Maryland. When the FBI discovered that the end of the hunt for the sender of the Anthrax letters was not Dr. Assaad the Egyptian, but Dr. Zack, who is Jewish, both the FBI and the media stopped making any public comments on the case! The targets of the anthrax attacks were the Senators who opposed the Patriot Act. (Coincidentally, since Nov. 2001, over 40 microbiologists have died under suspicious circumstances, most specializing in vaccines and bio-weapons research – very suspicious.) And why was Dick Cheney’s staff ordered to take the antibiotic Cipro weeks before the first anthrax attacks began? 10. Why Did the Bush Administration Endorse a Forgery about Iraq’s Nuclear Program? On September 24, 2002, George Tenet, Director of Central Intelligence, stated to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that the C.I.A. had recently received "intelligence" showing that, between 1999 and 2001, Iraq had attempted to buy five hundred tons of uranium oxide from Niger. Bush even mentioned this in his State of the Union Message, on January 28, 2003. However, on March 7th 2003, Mohamed ElBaradei, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, in Vienna, told the U.N. Security Council that the documents involving the Niger-Iraq uranium sale were fakes. One senior I.A.E.A. official went further. He told me, "These documents are so bad that I cannot imagine that they came from a serious intelligence agency. It depresses me, given the low quality of the documents, that it was not stopped. At the level it reached, I would have expected more checking." Another official said that the I.A.E.A. has not been able to determine who actually prepared the documents. "It could be someone who intercepted faxes in Israel. We don’t know. Somebody got old letterheads and signatures, and cut and pasted." 11. Where are the flight recorders (black boxes)? The FBI admits the recorders for flights 77 and 93 were found, but were "too damaged to provide any record". As for the WTC planes, two N.Y. City firefighters, Mike Bellone and Nicholas De Masi, claimed that they had found three of these four boxes, but Federal agents took them and told the two men not to mention having found them. Another source from the NTSB also says these boxes "were in fact recovered and were analyzed by the NTSB, but you’d have to get the official word from the FBI as to where they are". (Nice cover-up FBI) 12. Did you know that the 9/11 Commission Executive Director Phillip Zelikow had conflicts of interest with the Bush Administration? Shortly after 9/11 he was on the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board up until he became executive director. He also co-authored a book with Condoleezza Rice about their experiences in the first Bush White House. Chairman Thomas Kean was director of oil giant Amerada Hess; had business ties to Saudi Khalid bin Mahfouz; co-chairman of Homeland Security Project; and CFR member. Furthermore, an official investigation of the attacks cannot be taken seriously when it took 14 months to authorize it, was then underfunded and obstructed, was then staffed only by government insiders who failed to ask hundreds of questions posed by victims’ families and excluded important information provided by whistleblowers, the few documents they were given had to be filtered through the White House for approval, based its whole premise on proving the "official theory", and allowed the FAA timeline to be changed! 13. Why was the budget for the 9/11 Commission investigation initially just $3 million? (Later raised to $15 million) Compare that to the commission budgets for the Space Shuttle Columbia crash and Clinton’s Whitewater scandal which were both given $50 million! Andy why did the Bush Administration wait 411 days to form the 9/11 investigation commission? Compare that to just 6 days for the Titanic, 7 days for JFK, 7 days for the Challenger tragedy, and 9 days for Pearl Harbor. And to top this off, the commission only released 25% of the 11,000 documents requested! (Talk about dragging their feet!) 14. On December 4, 2001 in a Town Hall Meeting in Orange County, President Bush met with displaced workers. Answering Jordan’s question of ‘How did you feel when you heard about the terrorist attack?’ he said "I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower - the TV was obviously on." How did Bush see the first plane crash on live T.V. when it wasn’t shown anywhere until September 12? (My guess is he saw it on his closed circuit live camera feed that was already set up to view their operation) 15. Why did put option purchases on United Airlines and American Airlines stock rise above six times the normal levels in the days preceding 9/11? Abundant evidence shows that a number of transactions in financial markets indicated specific (criminal) foreknowledge of the 9/11 attacks. Between September 6 and 7, the Chicago Board Options Exchange saw purchases of 4,744 put options on UA, but only 396 call options. On September 10, 4,516 put options on AA were bought, compared to only 748 call options. On September 10, the volume of trading in AMR put option contracts increased to 60 times the daily average and almost five times the total of all $30 put options traded before September 10. In the case of at least one of these trades -- which has left a $2.5 million prize unclaimed -- the firm used to place the "put options" on United Airlines stock was, until 1998, managed by A.B. "Buzzy" Krongard who is now Executive Director of the CIA. (You can’t purchase stock, futures, mutual funds or put options without providing your identity! The FBI, CIA and SEC know who made these purchases. Why aren’t they telling anyone else!?) 16. Why were the Bin Laden and Saud families (142 people total) permitted by the FBI and the White House to fly out of the U.S. on private jets on September 13th when all other private flights were still grounded by the FAA? In June of 2004, Tampa Bay International airport verified that this flight indeed took place. And Why did Bush stop all investigations into the Bin Laden family before 9/11? The FBI documents "199-I" (indicating a national security case) show that the FBI was pulled off the trail of Abdullah and Omar bin Laden in 1996 – and reopened Sept.19, 2001, eight days after 9/11. 17. How did they find Mohammed Atta’s and Satam al-Sugami’s passport which magically survived – unscathed – the plane crash, explosion, fire, over 200,000 tons of steel and 425,000 cubic yards of concrete totaling 1.2 million tons of rubble? Yet they can't locate the flight recorders from either plane? And who "found" them and at what time did they "find" these? This is the real outrageous conspiracy theory! (I have an idea, why doesn't Boeing design a new data recorder manufactured from the same indestructible material used to produce magical Saudi passports?) 18. Why are none of the hijackers’ names on the official UA and AA airline passenger lists? In fact, there are no Arabic names whatsoever! And how are 6 (of 19) hijackers still alive and well! The Egyptian lawyer Muhammad Atta, father of engineer Muhammad al-Ameer Atta, denied his son's involvement in these operations. In a statement to the London- based al-Sharq al-Awsat daily, Muhammad explained that his son phoned him after the attacks and did not talk about the 9/11 incidents. He expressed his conviction that his son’s identity was kidnapped and believes the Israeli Mossad murdered him a day later. 19. You may ask how and when the bombs were planted in the towers. There were plenty of opportunities to plant bombs with low risk of detection. Here are a few examples: • Ben Fountain, a 42 year old financial analyst who worked in the South Tower, said the weeks before 9/11 there were numerous unanswered and unusual drills where sections of both the Twin Towers and WTC 7 were evacuated for "security reasons". • Bomb-sniffing dogs were inexplicably removed from the Twin Towers five days before 9/11 • Scott Forbes, working for Fiduciary Trust in the 97th floor of the South Tower, reported that there was a 36 hour "power down" in the upper half of the South Tower on September 8–9 to complete a "cabling upgrade," where security systems consequently were shut down and many workers ran around busily doing things unobserved. They were informed by Port Authority three weeks prior to this. Yet another coincidence, a Bush-linked company, Stratesec, handled security for three clients that figured prominently in the attack - United Airlines; Dulles International Airport where AA FL 77 was hijacked; and the World Trade Center itself. The President’s brother, Marvin P. Bush, and his cousin, Wirt D. Walker III, were principals in Stratesec, with Walker acting as CEO from 1999 until January 2002 and Marvin reportedly in New York on 9/11. 20. Why were General Richard Myers of the Joint Chief of Staff and Senator Max Cleland in a meeting on September 11th, until after the Pentagon was struck, completely unaware of the attacks? Why did General Montague Winfield, the Director of the NMCC or "war room" located in the Pentagon, request on September 10th that someone stand in for him in the "war room" on September 11th, between 8:30am and 10:30am? 21. On Wednesday September 12th, 2001, Tom Kenney, a spokesman for FEMA’s "National Urban Search and Rescue Team" during an interview on national TV with CBS News anchor Dan Rather, let slip a frightening truth. Mr. Kennedy told Dan Rather, "We were one of the first teams that was deployed to support the City of New York in this disaster. We arrived on late Monday night, September 10th, and went right into action on Tuesday morning", September 11th. This was validated by former NY Mayor, Rudy Giuliani when he testified to the 9-11 Commission during the May 18-19, 2004 hearings in NY that FEMA was in fact there the day before for a Project "TRIPOD II" terror drill that was scheduled for 9/12! (What a coincidence!) Yet FEMA denies all of this! 22. Mayor Giuliani in an interview with Peter Jennings on ABC News stated: "We were operating out of there [the Emergency Command Center on the 23rd floor of WTC-7] when we were told that the World Trade Center was gonna collapse, and it did collapse before we could get out of the building." What a remarkable statement. There was no publicly available reason to believe that the towers were going to collapse. After all, steel-frame high-rise buildings had never before collapsed because of fire. Yet Giuliani’s statement suggests that he somehow knew - he says he was told by someone - that the towers were going to collapse. (Who told him the towers were about to collapse? How could anyone have known this in advance unless it was a planned demolition?) 23. On October 26, 2001 George Bush signed the misnamed USA PATRIOT Act, which was proposed just five days after 9/11! Just six weeks later this bill was passed! It is IMPOSSIBLE for a bill to be conceived, written, debated, and passed this quickly. You see, they had already written the bill BEFORE 9-11, and needed this disaster to justify its passage. In addition, testimony by Rep. Ron Paul revealed that most members of Congress were compelled to vote for the bill without even reading it. This was a vote to eliminate the Constitutional Bill of Rights, which has defined American freedom for 200 years, and it was accomplished when legislators voted for the bill without even reading it! 24. Did you know that initially the military reported on 9/11 that no fighters were sent up to intercept the hijacked planes until after the Pentagon was hit? Later the same week, the military put out a second story, saying that it had sent up fighters but because the FAA had been late in notifying it about the hijackings, the fighters arrived too late. The 9/11 Commission also reported a third version that the FAA gave the military insufficient warning of the first hijacked airline and no warning of the other hijackings until after they had crashed. (Why did the military change their story three times?) 25. Did you know the District of Columbia Air National Guard website Mission statement was significantly changed immediately after 9/11? The DCANG mission BEFORE 9/11 read: "To provide combat units in the highest possible state of readiness. We will support the Air Force and other DOD agencies. We will provide operational support to our local communities whenever possible." The DCANG mission statement AFTER 9/11 reads: "Capital Guardians, patriotic Americans, supporting and defending the United States of America and the Nation's Capital when directed by the President in order to assure the survival and success of liberty." The post 9/11 mission now has to be directed by the President in order to do anything. (What a peculiar and coincidental change!?) 26. Did you know that the U.S. financed, armed, and trained Al Qaeda? After Russian troops invaded Afghanistan in 1979, the CIA financed (with billions of dollars), armed, and trained bin Laden and thousands of other Mujahideen rebels. (Reagan called them "freedom fighters") The name "al-Qaeda" as an organization was first used in early 2001, when the U.S. government decided to prosecute Bin Laden in his absence (for the Aug ‘98 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 people) and had to use anti-Mafia laws that required the existence of a named criminal organization. 27. What about the President’s odd behavior at the elementary school? After hearing about the second plane attack, President Bush sat down with a classroom of second-graders and began a 20-minute pre-planned photo op. Bush's behavior is made even more astounding by the fact that his Secret Service would have had to assume that he was one of the intended targets. One Secret Service agent, seeing the television coverage of the crash of the second airliner into the WTC, reportedly said: "We're out of here." He was obviously overruled. Why wasn’t he immediately whisked out and protected? The terrorists could have targeted the President along with the 200+ people at the school? The Secret Service breached all standard procedures and allowed President Bush to remain at a highly publicized location for 25 minutes after it was known that the nation was under attack!
