‘Dissent is Patriotic” sign overlooking the World Trade Center.
I took an eye-opening cab ride on a business trip to New York several years ago. It wasn’t the driving that raised my hair as much as the topic of conversation. My cabbie, a native English speaker, had a tale to tell about the 1996 attack on the World Trade Center. It was his opinion that someone higher up had allowed that bombing to happen, since a gigantic security rule was broken when the van that was detonated was allowed to enter the parking deck.
“I drive my cab there all the time,” he told me. “I know where we people are allowed to park and where they’re not allowed to park.”
I challenged the cabbie on this but he was insistent. “No way. That couldn’t have happened in a million years without someone higher up approving it,” he said.
At the time I chalked it up as a tale from an overly imaginative cab driver, but it wasn’t long before news broke that the FBI was deeply involved in a supposedly botched sting operation in which fake explosives were to be switched in at the last moment. Whoops!
Here’s Dan Rather’s report on CBS the night of October 28, 1993:
I don’t recall hearing that any FBI agents lost their jobs after fucking up a sting operation, bombing a building, and killing six people. Do you?
Fast forward to today. Another 9/11 anniversary has come and gone and even 13 years after the event I can’t help but feel awkward pausing for a moment of silence. It isn’t that I’m not saddened by the loss of lives on that terrible day, it is the way that event is continues to be described as a terrorist attack. There has never been any doubt in my mind that the official narrative of 9/11 is complete bunk, and I must admit that every year my certainty grows.
We lost a lot more than 3,000 lives that day, in my opinion we lost the republic. That truly deserves a moment of silence.
- Why have the planes’ black boxes never been found?
- Where was the massive plane crash debris at the Pentagon crash site?
- Where was the plane debris of the flight that crashed in Pennsylvania?
- Why did the buildings fall into their own footprint, just like a controlled demolition?
- Why did the buildings collapse at nearly free-fall speed?
- Out of all the skyscraper fires that have occurred before or since 9/11, why were WTC1, WTC2, and WTC7 the only skyscrapers ever to completely collapse due to fire?
- What made WTC7 collapse if not an airplane?
- Why did Larry Silverstein, the lessee of the WTC properties, say on television that WTC7 was “pulled,” slang for a controlled demolition?
- Why did the BBC announce that WTC7 had collapsed before it actually did?
- How was the open-air burning of kerosene (jet fuel) able to melt steel?
- If kerosene can indeed melt steel, what keeps jet engines from melting?
- Why did FEMA document molten steel found in the wreckage of the buildings?
- How is it the WTC towers stood solid for three decades but Silverstein leases them and four months later they get destroyed?
- What happened to the rumored short sales of airline stocks preceding the event?
- Who ordered NORAD to stand down that day?
… and the number one question that’s been bothering me:
How come no one lost their job due to the colossal fuckup that was 9/11?
When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt fired CINCPACFLT Admiral Husband Kimmel and Lt. General Walter Short for their failure to defend our bases. Whose head rolled due to 9/11?
What really happened on 9/11, and why aren’t more people asking this question?
