THE PART OF THE 9-11 STORY
MICHAEL MOORE MISSED!
"FAHRENHEIT 9/11" documents that the American people have been lied to
in the push for war. There were no weapons of mass destruction. Saddam
was not a threat. Iraq had no link to 9-11. Iraq was not supporting Al
Qaeda. The government of Iraq under Saddam killed far fewer Iraqi
people than the government of Iraq under George Bush. The Kurds were
actually gassed by Iran (and does the name "Waco" ring a bell?). The
only nuclear weapons found in Iraq are the tons of depleted uranium
munitions dropped on the Iraqi people by the United States. And, far
from being the champion of human rights, the United States stands
exposed as a willing user of torture on prisoners who in many cases
were innocent of any wrongdoing.
That's the major message. We The People were lied to about, well, just
about everything. Including 9-11 itself. Bush sat there and read about
goats while the towers fell. The video tape of "Osama's" confession
turned out to be fake. Osama himself turned out to be a fake, a CIA
asset trained and funded by the US to fight the USSR in Afghanistan.
Blair's dossier turned out to be fake, plagiarized from a student
thesis. The mobile biological weapons trailers turned out to be fake;
actually balloon inflators sold by the British to Iraq. And on and on
and on. Deception after deception after deception.
Everyone agrees on this major message. We've been lied to. We are the
victims of history's greatest and deadliest hoax; a hoax perpetrated
to ignite a war of conquest. Michael Moore's film does a great job of
confronting that deadly fact.
But, Michael Moore has himself either fallen for disinformation, or
simply not done his homework, and seems willing to accept without
question the official story of 9-11.
Now, it may be that Michael Moore just didn't care to get into 9-11
itself that deeply. Moore seems mostly focused on the aircraft allowed
to fly out of the United States in the days immediately after 9-11
while the rest of the nation's aircraft were grounded. On these
flights were members of Osama bin Laden's family. The Bush's and bin
Ladens go back a long way. Osama's brother was George's business
partner in Abusto Energy and source of the seed money to start the
company. It is reportedly because of this connection that Osama was
recruited to play holy warrior for the CIA in Afghanistan against the
USSR. So there is no question that those flights did occur, and that
Osama's family members were among the passengers.
At issue is whether this fact of the aircraft flights points the
finger of blame for 9-11 at Saudi Arabia. After first being told that
Afghanistan was to blame for 9-11, then Iraq was to blame for 9-11,
one should take any claims of any Arab country being identified as the
perpetrator of 9-11 with a huge heaping of salt. Michael Moore, who
clearly recognized the claims about Iraq's Weapons of Mass
Destruction, the supposed link from Saddam to Al Qaeda and to 9-11 as
lies, shows a dangerous naivte in his willingness accept the official
story of 9-11 without question.
So, let's take a look at the idea of Saudi Arabia as the perpetrator
of 9-11. Why would they do it? What would they gain? Immediately after
the attacks, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was
asked what the attack would mean for US-Israeli relations. His quick
reply was: "It's very good……. Well, it's not good, but it will
generate immediate sympathy (for Israel)". The months since 9-11 have
borne that out. US support for Israel's agenda grew stronger as Israel
committed more atrocities against the Palestinians. More money flowed
from the US to Israel. World opinion, which had been growing against
Israel's treatment of the Palestinians, temporarily abated. World
hostility towards Arabs in general grew. Forgotten was the fact that
Israel was actually in defiance of more UN Resolutions than Saddam had
ever been. And, it was assumed at the start of the war that direct
access to Iraq's oil would reduce American demand for Saudi oil, and
likely force prices down as Iraq's oil came to market. So, where was
the motive? Do you really think Saudi Arabia would commit an act that
would strengthen US-Israeli ties? Do you really think Saudi Arabia
would commit an act that would undercut their own oil revenues? Do you
really think Saudi Arabia would commit an act that would anger the
world against Arabs? Me neither.
Here are some facts that for some reason did not make itinto the final
cut of "Fahrenheit 9/11"
On 9-11, five men were arrested for suspicious behavior, cheering and
laughing while the WTC collapsed. In the van police found cash,
multiple passports, and maps with the World Trade Center highlighted.
Bomb-sniffing dogs indicated explosives residue were present in the
truck. The arrested men were Israelis, later identified by Pacific
Radio as agents of the Israeli intelligence service, the Mossad.
According to Carl Cameron's FOX News story on the Israeli spy ring,
the US Government classified evidence that linked the arrested Israeli
spies to 9-11. The Mossad agents were using a moving company, Urban
Moving Systems, for a cover. The owner of the company, Dominic Suter,
abandoned his business after 9-11 and fled to Israel on 9-14.
The 9-11 scene was littered with passports using Saudi names,
passports which the FBI admitted just ten days later were high-quality
fakes using identities stolen from Arab men. We don't know who was on
those planes, only who we were supposed to THINK were on those planes.
Why would Saudi Arabia commit 9-11 and use phony passports pointing
back to themselves? If Saudi Arabia had done 9-11, it is safe to
assume the phony passports would have likely pointed to Israel. FBI
Director Robert Mueller has admitted in public that there is actually
no evidence that proves the named 9-11 hijackers were actually on the
aircraft.
The warnings of the attack sent to Odigo in New York and Israel before
the 9-11 planes had even left the ground confirms beyond question that
Israeli-linked companies did receive advance warning. Why would Saudi
Arabia warn Israeli companies if they were behind 9-11?
It wasn't a Saudi-owned company in charge of security at all three of
the 9-11 airports.
If Saudi Arabia was a partner with Al Qaeda for 9-11, why is Al Qaeda
carrying out terror attacks against the Saudi Royal family now?
Speaking of "Al Qaeda", when Palestinian police arrested an Al Qaeda
cell, they discovered they were holding a group of Mossad agants.
A final point: The nation that helped the US Government stage a fake
terror event to launch wars of conquest in the Mideast would be in an
ideal position to blackmail the US Government with that very secret.
So, look back over the more than two years since 9-11 and find the
nation for whom the US Government just cannot seem to do enough,
cannot give enough money and weapons, cannot block enough UN
Resolutions, the nation for whom a long standing neutral foreign
policy has been cast aside in favor out total support for an
expansionist agenda. Find the nation whose leaders openly brag of
their control of the US Government.
If Michael Moore didn't quite do all his homework with regard to who
may have been behind the 9-11 attack, that does not change the fact
that the people of the United States were lied to to trick them into
wars. And it is THAT message of the film which is the important one.
But the hard fact remains that Michael Moore did not get ALL of the
story of 9-11. Not by a longshot. "Fahrenheit 9/11" is just the tip of
the iceberg.
Fahrenheit 9/11 is not an indictment of just George Bush. Fahrenheit
9/11 is not an indictment of just Republicans. Fahrenheit 9/11 is an
indictment of the entire US Government that had to know Bush was lying
to the American people to initiate as war and stood there smiling
blandly while he did it. Like Hitler, Bush could not do what he did
without a lot of cooperation by the entire government and the media.
Look at the voting records for the authorization for the use of force
in Iraq and in the draconian assaults on our freedoms. Both parties
voted those "Ayes". The rush to war and dictatorship was a bipartisan
one, worthy of bipartisan blame. Everyone is spinning Fahrenheit 9/11
to attack their own favorite scapegoats, but the truth is there is
more than enough blame for the current state of the nation to share
all around.

to stick with possibilities:truth isin't"
