Perspectives
That 9/11 Elephant in the Room

(FinalCall.com) - America has fallen out of favor around the world as its enumerable crimes are unmasked, including its illegal oil wars in the Middle East and its White racial bigotry manifesting as Islamaphobia. And as the anniversary of 9/11 approached, America would host old-fashioned Nazi book burnings, whilst Tea Party revelers publicly defile all the major tenets of the religion they espouse.

But there is an even bigger hypocrisy that has yet to be dropped on America's battered and fast-sinking self-image. And that, of course, is the major question of WHO is responsible for 9/11? It is the giant Caucasian elephant in the room and it has dropped a 911-pound dung pile of lies, deceit, and false outrage at the non-White world.

Incredibly, we are still expected to believe and publicly rehearse a fairytale that goes something like this: Nineteen foreign Muslims boarded four commercial airliners and brandishing only box cutters and mace were able to overtake the pilots and crew and fly two of the planes into two of the tallest buildings in the world, one into the most protected building on earth—the Pentagon—and the last one, overcome by a passenger insurgency, crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. End of story, let's go get them moozlems!

There are more than a few problems with this official U.S. government version of those horrific events, and a sizable and growing number of Americans are openly asking some very logical questions. In October of 2009, The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan also voiced his skepticism.

Among the 9/11 curiosities are the following:

• Why is it that the FBI's MOST WANTED poster of Osama Bin Laden mentions other crimes, BUT NOT 9/11?

• Right before 9/11, there were unusually high levels of stock activity of American and United Airlines and corporate tenants of the World Trade Center betting that the stocks would go down. According to Bloomberg Business News, “This would be one of the most extraordinary coincidences in the history of mankind if it was a coincidence.”

• Why have at least five of the nineteen alleged “hijackers” turned up alive and well living in the Arab world?

• How could these alleged hijackers have known that multiple classified air-defense drills were planned for the morning of 9/11, leaving only two fighter jets available to protect the entire northeastern United States?

Pentagon/Flight #77:

• How come the hole in the Pentagon was 18 feet across, but the wingspan of a 757 is 146 feet? And where were the plane's wreckage, the seats, the luggage, the bodies, the debris?

• How does a pilot that failed his lessons on a tiny one-engine propeller plane pull off maneuvers only a highly trained airline pilot could perform? How could this failed “pilot” have made a 270-degree turn at 500 miles an hour, descending 7,000 feet in two and a half minutes into a direct hit? And why was that turn necessary? Had he descended straight into the Pentagon he would have slammed into the Secretary of Defense Donald RUMSFELD's office—a much more valuable target.

• Why were surveillance videos recording the plane's impact on the Pentagon confiscated by the FBI immediately after the event?

Pennsylvania/Flight #93:

• Why was there no airplane debris where Flight 93 supposedly crashed – only a smoking hole in the ground? No bodies, no seats, no wings, no luggage?

• The official story of 9/11 claimed that 10 CELL PHONE calls came from Flight 93, but the technology for airplane-to-ground cell phone calls didn't exist until three years later in 2004.

World Trade Center—Twin Towers:

• Six months before the 9/11 attacks the World Trade Center was purchased by Larry Silverstein, who took out insurance coverage on the property which fortuitously covered acts of terrorism. He made a huge profit off the 9/11 attacks.

• George W. Bush's brother was a director and his cousin was the CEO of the security firm responsible for the World Trade Center prior to and during 9/11. Why did they remove the explosive-sniffing dogs five days prior to 9/11?

• No steel-framed building before or since 9/11 has ever collapsed due to fire. The WTC buildings were designed to withstand the impact of airliners. The melting point of steel is about 2,700°F; the temperature of jet fuel fires does not exceed 1,800°F. Therefore, the WTC buildings cannot have collapsed due to heat from the fires.

• Why were people seen in the gaps left by the plane impacts if the heat from the fires behind them was so excessive?

• Why did so many people, including NY Fire Department officials and news reporters, report hearing many explosions at street level prior to the Towers falling?

• Who were those men on top of a commercial van across the Hudson River filming the Towers BEFORE THE FIRST plane hit? How did they know to be there, and why were they celebrating after the plane hit the World Trade Center? The police arrested them and then let them go INTO ISRAELI CUSTODY. Why?

• How did a 47-story skyscraper (Building 7) collapse in the exact manner of a controlled demolition, though it was not struck by a plane?

• Why was the U.S. military explosive THERMATE found in the dust of the collapsed World Trade Center buildings?

These are just a few of the many, many potent lingering questions that challenge the U.S. government's version of the 9/11 “terrorist” attacks. A powerful cadre of advocates has aggressively pursued these questions, primarily in cyberspace forums. The self-described 9/11 Truth Movement has amassed convincing proof that the official version is little more than a 9/11 fairytale, and they have arranged it so that anyone who is truly interested in exploring these questions is just a couple of mouse clicks away from a troubling body of damning evidence. They support their important work with an impressive array of documents, news film analysis, and interviews with key witnesses to the events on and surrounding 9/11.

And what was the motive for the governments of the United States and Israel to mount such an attack on America? The same motive as that which compelled the U.S. to attack its own U.S.S. Main in the Spanish-American War, or invent the Tonkin Bay attacks in Vietnam, or design plans to shoot down an airline filled with Americans in order to have a pretense for war with Cuba. The obvious answer for 9/11 is deep underground. Iraq is sitting on the world's third-largest proven oil reserves—200 to 300 million barrels of light crude worth as much as $30 trillion. What more needs to be said? Does anyone want to put $30 trillion on the table and see what the White man will do for it? In the last 400 years three races of human beings have painfully found out what he will do. One trillion dollars is nothing to pay for them to establish full control over the fuel that drives the entire Western world economy. And get ready, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Sudan, Yemen—your strategic minerals and resources are next, all justified by the 9/11 “outrage” that launched a now endless “war on terrorism.”

The “mainstream” American Muslim community has stood silently by and tacitly accepted responsibility for this outrageous crime against humanity, believing that time and their overt pro-Americanism would ease anti-Islamic fervor. This was a mistake. Now all Muslims and even non-Muslim immigrants are suffering under a vociferous bigotry that has escalated into violence across the nation. The post-9/11 passage of the so-called Patriot Act trashed the protections of the U.S. Constitution and encouraged and fortified the hatred that is now emerging—all because the real 9/11 culprits have been allowed, unchallenged, to scapegoat an innocent people. Muslims find themselves in New York and other places around America and the world begging for peace, when they should have taken responsibility for exposing the world's true peace-breakers. These questions are as potent and pressing today as they were on September 11, 2001. Muslims ought to be the loudest of the voices demanding answers.
