9/11: Of what is the US government guilty, Incompetence or Conspiracy?

Welcome to yet another 9/11. There are still so many things I do not understand about the attacks that happened on this day ten years ago. Below are a few questions I have, all of which for me are wrapped in a larger question: Since things don’t add up, wouldn’t it be in the best interest of everyone, the government and the people, if the government came clean? Why not admit where there was incompetence, admit that terrorists planted explosive demolition charges in the buildings where George Bush’s younger brother Marvin Bush was a principal in a company called Securacom that provided security for the World Trade Center, United Airlines, and Dulles International Airport ( utne.com ), and so on… It is possible for a new official explanation to fit the laws of physics without 9/11 being an inside job, so why not end the speculation? If the government is lying to cover up incompetence in order to protect the image of the government, then they have failed because people instead suspect complicity in or even orchestration of the attacks.

• What were the heads of our Senate and House intelligence committees saying when they were discussing Osama Bin Laden in Washington on the morning of 9/11/2001 with the Pakistani general who, according to the FBI, was confirmed as the man who paid the lead hijacker, Mohamed Atta? I have to assume our people were duped, but if so, why has this never been big news?

“Recall that the chief financier of the so-called hijackers, Pakistan’s Chief Spy General Mahmoud Ahmad, was meeting with Bush administration officials the week before 9/11. He also met with Bob Graham and Porter Goss on the morning of the attacks, who would later go on to head the first 9/11 investigative committee.” – prisonplanet

• Was it just a coincidence that the war games being run that morning, coordinated by Dick Cheney, which put false blips on our radar screens, along with Cheney’s orders, assured that the attackers would not be stopped before hitting their targets? That seems too improbable, so what was really going on? Did the terrorists know of the war games or were the terrorists conducting the war games?

• Why hasn’t Cheney commented about the further bizarre coincidence that, according to ABC News, there was a “plane into building” exercise going on the same morning close to the same time and location as the real attacks?

• Where are the videos and missing frames which should show a very large jet that made a too small hole in the wall of the Pentagon? Since the Pentagon should have had surface to air missiles that automatically would shoot down an incoming attacker, did the terrorists hit us with one of our own stolen cruise missiles and is this embarrassment being covered up?

• Why have aviation experts said that the flying object which hit the pentagon could not have been the jet in the official story because a 757 could not physically make the maneuver that was seen on radar and because the flight deck door was never opened according to the “recovered” flight recorder from the pentagon, making the story of terrorists on board impossible?

• Why has no one been thrown in jail now that we know the supposed phone calls from the passengers on the jet that supposedly hit the pentagon were lies? Was this a carelessly thought out lie told to hide the theft of a cruise missile that actually hit the Pentagon?

• Do people who read the Popular Mechanics “debunking” of 9/11 conspiracy theories realize that the main researcher for that effort was the cousin of the head of the Department of Homeland Security? Can those who believe that the conspiracy theory was “totally debunked” please provide the names and credentials of engineers who disagree with the structural engineers and other experts in the video below? Why has NIST refused to release the “input files with connection material properties and all results files of the LS-DYNA 47-story global collapse model that were used to simulate sequential structural failures leading to collapse, and all Excel spreadsheets and other supporting calculations used to develop floor connection failure modes and capacities.”? – link Real science involves real peer review. The NIST model is pseudo-science without transparency.

• If architects and engineers say (see video below) the fall of the three towers was impossible unless there was a controlled demolition with explosive charges and if they say that investigative laws were violated when all of the tower steel was quickly transported to China, destroying the evidence of the first steel frame buildings ever to collapse due to fire, and if they are calling for another investigation, why isn’t one happening?

• Why didn’t the FBI tell Congress about the mysterious Saudi family that disappeared from their luxurious home at 4224 Escondito Circle near Sarasota, Fla after confirmed meetings with lead 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta?

“The FBI had photos of Mohammed Atta’s car driving to visit a Saudi family that suddenly disappeared mysteriously just days before Atta executed the most deadly terrorist attack in U.S. history and the bureau never told anyone about it. … The only major redaction in the 9/11 Commission report was a 28-page section spelling out connections between the hijackers and Saudi elites. ” – newenglishreview

• Was the redaction of the connection between the hijackers and the Saudi elites due to the fact that the Saudi family who met with Atta included the son of Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz? (This would be close to confirmation of an inside job, right? Because the son of Aziz was confirmed as one of the Saudi elites who was flown out of the country by our government at a time all other jets were grounded. – Google: Sept 13, 2001, Dan Grossi, Raytheon Airport Services, Bush won’t reveal Saudi 9/11 info) Flying someone out of the country who met with the lead hijacker combined with the fact that our to US intelligence committee people were meeting with the paymaster on 9/11 would really be quite embarrassing.

• Why isn’t it more widely known that George W. Bush’s father was meeting with Osama bin Laden’s brother, Shafig bin Laden, in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Washington, on the morning of 9/11?

• Who were the Middle Eastern men in a van who came to visit Bush at the Colony Beach & Tennis Resort at about 6 a.m. on the morning of the 9/11 attacks claiming they had a poolside interview? [Longboat Observer, 9/26/2001]

If you find it offensive to ask these questions, then I recommend that you re-read our Declaration of Independence, which, it seems to me, clearly makes it out duty to keep an eye on our government and to change it when it becomes destructive.
