But wait, you may say, what about the 9/11 Commission? Hasn’t this been studied and questioned sufficiently? If you ask the right questions,

you get the right answers. If you ask the wrong questions, you will never get the right answers.


The Commission was headed by Phillip Zelikow, an insider member of the Bush Administration. The assumption was made that 19 Middle

Eastern hijackers brought the planes down. No other evidence or theories were examined. I realize that there are conspiracy theorists and

websites out there that make all kinds of accusations but because of the tremendous volume of information out there, especially on the internet, I

am going to restrict my comments to the findings presented by David Ray Griffin in his book, Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11 (2006 by

Westminister John Knox Press).


Griffin’s initial response was to believe the official story but was later otherwise convinced by an abundance of evidence. His book is very well

footnoted and I encourage you to get a copy in order to see the tremendous amount of research that went into it. If you are open-minded and

carefully examine the evidence, I think you will see that it would be difficult to come to any other conclusion. There are many aspects to the 9/11

situation; so, in the interest of time, I am just going to deal with one aspect – the way the towers fell.


If you are interested in other aspects, I encourage you to research the situation for yourself. If I can cast doubt over the towers collapse, that

should cast doubt over the entire event. Think outside the box. Also, if this were a planned event, wouldn’t you expect any other view to be met

with ridicule? Wouldn’t you expect there to be a cover-up if the true facts were different than the official story?

If the current administration was so desperate that it hijacked the 2000 election, and was at least complicit in one form or another in 9/11

(probably a small part of it); and it had a not-so-hidden agenda of constructing an oil/gas pipeline through Afghanistan (and after 6 years, we

seem to be losing rather than gaining ground in this War on Terror); likewise, it lied about Al-Qaeda and weapons of mass destruction to get us

into a war in Iraq; it possibly stole the 2004 election – although we’ll never know – then what makes you think “something” is not planned for the

2008 election?


There were numerous allegations of voting irregularities, which showed contempt for the Constitution and called that document but dung, and

thereby systematically dismantled the Bill of Rights and laid the groundwork for martial law; and, furthermore, this Administration has been so

secretive about virtually everything and continues to stonewall in not allowing its staff to testify before Congress under the veil of “executive

privilege.”


This blatant contempt for Congress, amplified by Bush’s signing statements,
lends further credibility to the notion that his administration was complicit (to some extent) in the 9/11 attack.


Yes, frankly, this is the same administration who thinks it not robbery to rob from the poor, from needy children and veterans to enrich the rich!


Would not that same administration, threatened with defeat, threatened with the unraveling of its policies and the loss of its position in the Middle

East, not to mention the threat to its business cronies if they are denied access to tons of oil and ipso facto the loss of empire and influence, do

all it could to maintain the "economic status quo?"


Would not this same administration cancel the election if another 9/11 type event were to occur? If this man who doesn’t care what polls say, no

matter how unpopular he is, no matter what people, world leaders, the UN, the Democrats or even the Republicans think—then can you really trust

what he will do in the next election year of 2008?


For whatever reason, he seems hell bent on staying in Iraq, taking on Iran and anyone else he thinks is threatening America. He seems to really

believe he is called to do this and nothing will stop him. The idea of losing all that he has so carefully crafted in nearly seven years can be his for

life if there is another 9/11 type event. One big “I told you so!” And, why not—all the legislation is in place to declare martial law,

cancel elections and thereby provide peace and safety for an anxious population.


The Department of Homeland Security recently carried out a full-scale exercise to prepare for martial law defending America from

terrorism.


“The President has the power to seize property, organize and control the means of production, seize commodities, assign military forces

abroad, call reserve forces amounting to 2 1/2 million men to duty, institute martial law, seize and control all means of transportation, regulate all

private enterprise, restrict travel, and in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all Americans...” (Bush makes power grab, Jerome

Corse, WorldNetDaily, May 23, 2007).


Good grief, FEMA has already contracted with Halliburton to build detention camps around the country! (See Doug’s article:

Peace and Prosperity as Destruction and Corruption.)


The Pentagon is laying plans for actions within America’s borders. The growth and consolidation of federal powers in the hands of the

executive branch has grown at an exponential rate during the last few years. Recent legislation, Presidential directives, and pronouncements,

directly from the Bush and Cheney gang, form a blueprint for the establishment of martial law and the suspension of the U.S. Constitution. These

powers are being amassed with the justification that they are necessary preparation for a ‘national emergency’. (Towards Dictatorship in

America) – (Or see the article titled Martial Law in America – If terrorists strike U.S. Cities with nuclear weapons, our nation will never be the

same. Borders will close, detention camps will open, and America will be a thing of the past.)


Another 9/11 event will also cover up the miserable state of the economy, the banking system and all the bubbles percolating around the world. It

will give an excuse for the problems in the economy. Terrorism provides an exuse and justification for just about any government action

imaginable. There is little doubt that inflation caused by the uncontrolled creation of paper currency, asset bubbles (the stock market, housing,

commodities), the banking crisis caused by poor lending practices, unbridled debt and consumption – the effect of all of these things will be

masked by a major attack. People and legislators have shown that they are more than willing to give up freedom for security. The government

has shown that it is willing and able to blame the war on terror for just about anything, including their own failures in manipulating the economy.

Only a major attack on America will deflect the blame of the coming Depression
