Initially, the U.S. Navy's own historians now say that the sinking of the USS Maine -- the justification for America's entry into the Spanish-American War -- was probably caused by an internal explosion of coal, rather than an attack by the Spanish.
It is also now well-accepted that the Gulf of Tonkin Incident which led to the Vietnam war was a fiction.
Two Lies Were Used To Justify The 1991 Gulf War:
the statement that Iraqis murdered Kuwaiti babies and the statement that a quarter of a million Iraqi troops were massed on the border with Saudi Arabia (see also this article)
(technically, the statement about Kuwaiti babies did not come from the U.S. government, but from a public relations firm hired by the government).
a BBC special , found it likely that America knew of the Japanese plan to attack Pearl Harbor — down to the exact date of the attack — and allowed it to happen to justify America's entry into World War II.
See: this short essay by a highly-praised historian summarizing some of the key points.
Moreover, the White House apparently had, a year earlier, launched an 8-point plan to provoke Japan into war against the U.S. (including, the Oil Embargo) — most stunning — the FDR administration took numerous affirmative steps to ensure that the Japanese attack would be successful.
It has been proven that high-level government officials were responsible for consciously ignoring the evidence that Iraq lacked WMD's. See: this article.
U.S. Intelligence Knew That Attacks Would Occur:
According to MSNBC, "There have been a slew of reports over the past decade of plots to use planes to strike American targets".
For example, a 1998 report forwarded from the FBI to the FAA concluded that "a group of unidentified Arabs planned to fly an explosive-laden plane . . . into the World Trade Center"
The Director of the CIA, had warned congress shortly before 9/11 "that there could be an attack, an imminent attack, on the United States of this nature. So this is not entirely unexpected" (As per NPR).
It was widely known within the FBI shortly before 9/11 that an imminent attack was planned on lower Manhattan.
An employee who worked in the south tower stated:
"How could they let this happen? They knew this building was a target. Over the past few weeks we'd been evacuated a number of times, which is unusual. I think they had an inkling something was going on"
And a security guard who worked in the World Trade Center stated:
"officials had recently taken steps to secure the towers against aerial attacks"
More importantly, NORAD, which is responsible for protecting the U.S. mainland, had run drills for several years of planes being used as weapons against the World Trade Center and other U.S. high-profile buildings, and "numerous types of civilian and military aircraft were used as mock hijacked aircraft".
In other words, drills using REAL AIRCRAFT simulating terrorist attacks crashing jets into buildings, including the twin towers, were run.
DoD Had Previously Conducted Drills Of Planes Crashing Into The PentaCON:
See: official military website showing a military drill conducted in 2000 using miniatures; this article concerning a May 2001 exercise of a plane crashing into the Pentagon (see also this article and this one); and this article about yet another drill of a plane hitting the Pentagon from August 2001.
The military also ran war games involving:
multiple, simultaneous hijackings (first paragraph), so this aspect of 9/11 was not as overwhelming as we have been led to believe.
See: this short excerpt of a Peter Jennings newscast on 9/11
Evidence Indicates That The United States Had Prior Knowledge Of The Impending Attacks:
In June-Aug 2001, German intelligence warned the CIA that Middle Eastern terrorists were training for hijackings and targeting American interests. Russian President Vladimir Putin alerted the US of suicide pilots training for attacks on U.S. targets.
In late July, a Taliban emissary warned the US that bin Laden was planning a huge attack on American soil.
In August, Israel warned of an imminent Al Qaeda attack. See, for example, this article from Fox News and this article from the Independent
In July 2001, Bin Laden is alleged to have received kidney treatment at the American Hospital in Dubai. During his stay, bin Laden is alleged to have been visited by one or two CIA agents.
See: this Guardian article, this article from the Sydney Morning Herald, this story from the London Times, and and this one from United Press International
On July 26, 2001, Attorney General Ashcroft stopped flying commercial airlines due to a threat assessment .
In May 2002, Ashcroft walked out of his own office rather than answer questions about it.
On August 6, 2001, President Bush received an intelligence briefing warning that bin Laden might be planning to hijack commercial airliners:
Titled “Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US,” the briefing specifically mentioned the World Trade Center.
See: this Washington Post story, and the actual partially-declassified briefing.
On August 27, 2001, an FBI supervisor saied he was trying to keep a:
hijacker from “flying a plane into the World Trade Center.” (Senate Report Hill #2). FBI headquarters chastised him for notifying the CIA.
On September 10th, intelligence services intercepted messages between the alleged lead hijacker and the mastermind behind 9/11 stating "the match begins tomorrow" and "tomorrow is zero hour"
Newsweek stated: "On Sept. 10, NEWSWEEK has learned, a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly canceled travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns" (pay-per-view; cached version of article here)
And on 9/11 itself, data recovery experts extracted data from 32 damaged world trade center computer drives. The data revealed a surge in financial transactions shortly before the attacks.
Illegal transfers of over $100 million may have been made through some trade center computer systems immediately before and during the 9/11 disaster.
See: this article and this one.
It is also known that military bases, such as the Navy's Sixth Fleet Ocean Surveillance Information Facility in Rota, Spain, have for many years produced daily reports on all Middle East activity.
And, the Americans (see also this article and this one) were trailing the hijackers on the ground in the U.S. before 9/11.
A former White House Policy Analyst and Special Assistant to the President has recently stated in a letter sent to the New York Times that the NSA was tracking all of the alleged hijackers before September through wiretaps.
The Israelis were also tracking the hijackers.
Bear in mind that: Cheney tracked flight 77 from many miles out as it approached the Pentagon, and yelled "the orders still stand" as the plane got closer and closer and then struck the Pentagon.
Given the above-described facts, it is impossible that the government didn't see it coming. And therefore, the "innocent mistake" line is completely unacceptable.
Examples Of False Flag Operations:
It has been confirmed by a former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the:
former head of Italian counterintelligence, NATO, with the help of U.S. and foreign special forces, carried out terror bombings in Italy and blamed the communists, in order to rally people’s support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism.
As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated:
"You had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security."
In the early 1950s, agents of an Israeli terrorist cell operating in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including U.S. diplomatic facilities, then left behind "evidence" implicating the Arabs as the culprits
See: this confirmation.
Recently declassified documents show that in the 1960's, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba.
See: this ABC news report, the official documents, and watch this interview with the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings
(click on the link titled "Joint Chiefs Guilty-Northwoods").
From this BBC special we find out that America knew of the Japanese plan to attack Pearl Harbor [down to the exact date of the attack], and allowed it to take place in order to justify America's entry into World War II.
See: this short essay by a highly-praised historian
Most stunning, is that the FDR administration took numerous affirmative steps to ensure that the Japanese attack would be successful
It has now been proven, for example, in this History Channel video -- that Nazis set fire to their own Reichstag, and blamed that incident on others The fire was the event which justified Hitler's seizure of power and suspension of liberties.
The Russian security service conducted a wave of bombings in Russia in order to justify war against Chechnya and put Vladimir Putin into power.
The Turkish government has carried out bombings and blamed it on the PKK in order to justify a crackdown on that group.
This is called "false flag terrorism", where a government attacks its own people then blames others in order to justify its goals
Complicity At The Highest Level:
Cheney was apparently in charge of the entire U.S. government’s counter-terrorism program prior to 9/11, and in charge of ALL 5 of the war games which occurred on 9/11, and Cheney also coordinated the government's "response" to the attacks.
See: this CNN article; and this essay.
Being in charge of all counter-terrorism in the U.S., Cheney was probably the person who moved up major war games so that they would overlap with games and terror drills already planned for 9/11.
See: this interview of the former head of the Star Wars program and a former Air Force colonel.
Cheney is the one who monitored flight 77 for many miles as it approached the Pentagon and -- when a military man asked "do the orders still stand?" -- Cheney responded affirmatively:
"The plane is 50 miles out. The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down to, "The plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the vice president, "Do the orders still stand?" And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?"
Watch the video for yourself.
In addition, a former Los Angeles police department investigator, whose newsletter is read by 45 members of congress, both the house and senate intelligence committees, and professors at more than 40 universities around the world, claims that:
Cheney was in charge of the entire military and the secret service during the 9/11 attacks, that the secret service has its own communications system which is parallel to and can even cut into normal military communication channels.
Cheney has a long-standing history of falsifying and manipulating facts and taking brutal actions in furtherance of his imperial goals.
For example, in the 70's:
Cheney was instrumental in generating fake intelligence exaggerating the Soviet threat in order to undermine coexistence between the U.S. and Soviet Union, which conveniently justified huge amounts of cold war spending.
See: his article.
Former director of the CIA accused Cheney of overseeing torture policies.
Colin Powell's former chief of staff also stated that Dick Cheney is guilty of war crimes.
The 9/11 War Games:
On the very morning of 9/11/01, five war games and terror drills were being conducted by several U.S. defense agencies, including one "live fly" exercise using REAL planes. T
hen-Acting Head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Air Force General Richard B. Myers, admitted to 4 of the war games in congressional testimony.
See: transcript here or video: here (6 minutes and 12 seconds into the video).
NORAD had run drills for several years of planes being used as weapons against the World Trade Center and other U.S. high-profile buildings, and "numerous types of civilian and military aircraft were used as mock hijacked aircraft".
Meaning: drills using REAL AIRCRAFT simulating terrorist attacks crashing jets into buildings, including the twin towers, were run.
See: official military website showing 2000 military drill, using miniatures, involving a plane crashing into the Pentagon.
ON 9/11, NORAD and the Joint Chiefs of Staff were conducting a joint, live-fly, hijack exercise which involved government-operated aircraft POSING AS HIJACKED AIRLINERS.
On September 11th, the government also happened to be running a simulation of a plane crashing into a building.
A December 9, 2001 Toronto Star article reprinted here, stated that "Operation Northern Vigilance is called off. Any simulated information, what's known as an 'inject,' is purged from the screens".
This indicates that there were false radar blips inserted onto air traffic controllers' screens as part of the war game exercises.
There are also indications that some of the major war games previously scheduled for October 2001 were MOVED UP to September 11th by persons unknown .
Interestingly, Vice President Cheney was apparently in charge of ALL of the war games and coordinated the government's "response" to the attacks.
See: this CNN article; and this previously-cited essay.
While the government has consistently stated that it did not know where the aircraft were before they struck, this short video clip of the Secretary of Transportation's testimony before the 9/11 Commission shows that Cheney monitored flight 77 for many miles as it approached the Pentagon.
How could one of the most heavily-defended buildings in the world have been succesfully attacked, when the Vice President of the United States, in charge of counter-terrorism on 9/11, watched it approach from many miles away?
In addition: this diagram shows that the hijacked planes flew over numerous military bases on 9/11 before crashing.
See: this essay about the war games; this essay regarding the stand down of the military;
See: this war game proposal created before 9/11 revolving around Bin Laden and including "live-fly exercises" involving real planes,
Confirmed by: this official Department of Defense website.
Senator Mark Dayton, stated: Fighter jets were also sent far off-course over the Atlantic Ocean in the middle of the attacks , so as to neutralize their ability to intercept the hijacked airliners.
Could Osama Bin Laden and his sent-from-the-cave band of followers have infiltrated all our intelligence agencies and the PebtaCon, and were thus able to manipulate and bypass all the security that was in place? That's a NEGATIVE.
Air traffic controllers stated they were still tracking what they thought were hijacked planes long after all 4 of the real planes had crashed.
This implies that false radar blips remained on their screens after all 4 planes went down, long after the military claims they purged the phantom war-game-related radar signals.
Could Bin Laden have interfered with the full purging of false radar blips inserted as part of the war games? In other words, could Bin Laden have overriden the purging process so that some false blips remained and confused air traffic controllers? That's another NEGATIVE.
The 9/11 Comission Covers-Up:
Years after the 9/11 Commission issued its report, government whistleblowers have leaked the following facts:
• The Pentagon and Norad intentionally lied about what happened on 9/11
(free subscription required), and the 9/11 Commission knew this, but concealed this fact from the American people
• The U.S. government was tracking many of the 9/11 hijackers long before 9/11, and the 9/11 Commission was informed of this, but hid this fact from the American.
There already have been whistleblowers who have come forward.
See: this short essay.
The theory that 9-11 was carried out by elements of our own government is:
borne out by the evidence and is backed by some very smart people
You may assume that if the government was complicit in the 9-11 tragedy, the media would have informed us. that assumption is: an incorrect one.
Daniel Ellsberg, Once said:
It is a commonplace that "you can't keep secrets in Washington" or "in a democracy, no matter how sensitive the secret, you're likely to read it the next day in the New York Times." These truisms are flatly false. They are in fact cover stories, ways of flattering and misleading journalists and their readers, part of the process of keeping secrets well. Of course eventually many secrets do get out that wouldn't in a fully totalitarian society. But the fact is that the overwhelming majority of secrets do not leak to the American public. This is true even when the information withheld is well known to an enemy and when it is clearly essential to the functioning of the congressional war power and to any democratic control of foreign policy. The reality unknown to the public and to most members of Congress and the press is that secrets that would be of the greatest import to many of them can be kept from them reliably for decades by the executive branch, even though they are known to thousands of insiders.
