Numerous unfounded conspiracy theories about the September 11 attacks continue to circulate, especially on the Internet. Some of the most prevalent myths are:
1) The World Trade Center (WTC) twin towers were destroyed by controlled demolitions.
This is how the collapses may have appeared to non-experts, but demolition experts point out many differences:

• Demolition professionals always blow the bottom floors of a structure first, but the WTC tower collapses began at the upper levels, where the planes hit the buildings.
• Non-experts claim that debris seen blowing out of windows was evidence of explosive charges, but experts identify this as air and light office contents (paper, pulverized concrete, etc.) being forced out of windows as floors collapsed on each other.
• Demolition firms had very sensitive seismographs operating at other sites in Manhattan on September 11. None recorded any explosions during the tower collapses.
• Clean-up crews found none of the telltale signs of controlled demolitions that would have existed if explosive charges had been used.
• Cutting away walls, insulation, plumbing, and electrical conduits to place numerous charges on the towers’ structural columns in advance would not have gone unnoticed.
• For more information, see ImplosionWorld’s article on the WTC collapses and Popular Mechanics, parts 4 and 5.

2) No plane hit the Pentagon on September 11. Instead, it was a missile fired by elements “from inside the American state apparatus.”

Conspiracy theorists making this claim ignore several facts:

• The remains of the bodies of the crew and passengers of American Airlines flight 77 were found at the Pentagon crash site, and positively identified by DNA.
• The flight’s black box was also recovered at the site.
• Numerous eyewitnesses saw the plane strike the Pentagon. Some saw passengers through the plane’s windows. Missiles don’t have windows or carry passengers.
• Numerous photographs show airplane debris at the crash site, as was also witnessed by survivors and rescue personnel. See sections 4:57 to 6:00 of the “911 Case Study: Pentagon Flight 77” video for pictures of airliner debris.
• For more information, see “Did a Plane Hit the Pentagon?” and Popular Mechanics, part 6.

3) The planes that hit the World Trade Center towers were remotely controlled.

• Boeing, which manufactured the planes that struck the towers, stated that all its commercial jet transports are configured so that they cannot be controlled from anywhere except the flight deck of the aircraft.
• Passengers onboard the flights made several phone calls. All reported that hijackers had commandeered the planes.
• For more information, see “Did a Plane Hit the Pentagon?”

4) United Airlines flight 93, which crashed in Pennsylvania, was shot down by a missile.

• The cockpit voice recorder of this flight was recovered and showed that the passenger revolt caused the hijackers to deliberately crash the plane. The hijackers controlled the plane until its impact. See full transcript.
• The U.S. military did not learn that flight 93 had been hijacked until four minutes after it crashed, as recently released tapes demonstrate.
• The military never gave interceptor pilots authorization to shoot down United flight 93. See article on tapes.
• Listen to the 45-second message left by flight attendant CeeCee Lyles on her home answering machine. Click on the “Lyles” file or the phone icon in the bottom left corner of the flight 93 page.
• For more information, see The 9/11 Commission Report chapter 1, “We Have Some Planes,”pages 13-14.

5) World Trade Center building 7 was destroyed by a controlled demolition.

• This allegation was fueled by a comment by the WTC owner that, after WTC 7 was judged to be unstable, he recommended pulling a group of firefighters out of the building, using the phrase “pull it” in reference to the contingent of firefighters. For more details, see 9/11 Revealed?
• Conspiracy theorists have interpreted the “pull it” remark as slang for demolishing the building with explosives. But demolition experts say “pulling” a building means attaching long cables to a weakened structure and literally pulling it down with bulldozers and other powerful machinery – not using explosives.
• Seismographs recorded no telltale spikes or anomalies that would have indicated the use of explosives.
• For more information, see ImplosionWorld article and Popular Mechanics, part 5.

6) Insider trading in the stocks of United Airlines and American Airlines just before September 11 is evidence of advance knowledge of the plot.

• The 9/11 Commission investigated this issue in detail, concluding, “Some unusual trading did in fact occur, but each such trade proved to have an innocuous explanation.”
• For example, it stated, “much of the seemingly suspicious trading in American [Airlines stock] on September 10 was traced to a specific U.S.-based options trading newsletter, faxed to its subscribers on Sunday, September 9, which recommended these trades.”
• For other examples, see The 9/11 Commission Report, “Notes” section, page 499, footnote 130.

7) Four thousand Jews failed to show up for work at the World Trade Center on September 11.

• It appears from media reports that some 10-15% of WTC victims were Jewish, indicating there were no mass absences.
• The “4,000” figure apparently came from an early statement by the Israeli Foreign Ministry that some “4,000 Israelis” were believed to be in the New York and Washington areas, where the attacks occurred. This figure was apparently seized upon by conspiracy theorists, in an attempt to bolster the false rumor.
• For more information, see “The 4,000 Jews Rumor.”

8) Al Qaida is not responsible for the September 11 attacks.

• Al Qaida leaders, including Osama bin Laden, have repeatedly confirmed that they planned and carried out the September 11 attacks.
• In an audiotape released on May 23, 2006, bin Laden stated, “I was responsible for entrusting the 19 brothers … with those raids ….”
• In a November 2001 tape, bin Laden said, “We calculated in advance the number of casualties … who would be killed …. I was the most optimistic of them all. … Due to my experience in this field, I was thinking that the fire from the gas in the plane would melt the iron structure of the building and collapse the area where the plane hit and all the floors above it only.”

Did Bill Clinton's "Inaction" Lead to 9/11?

Former FBI Director Louis Freeh says he was so concerned about the problem, he wanted to stay on as FBI director so President Clinton could not appoint his successor.

Reporter:

From examiner.com

The news story published by Newsweek newsmagazine titled "Why America Overreacted to 9-11" created much controversy. However, a more truthful and educational story would address the progressives' under reaction to a decade filled with terrorist attacks during the Clinton Administration.

As President Barack Obama travels throughout the world denigrating the U.S. actions in the midst of a war, no one in the news media feels it's important to point out -- to emphasize -- that during the Bush Administration there was one terrorist attack against the United States and its interests overseas in five years. How many terrorist attacks were there during the administration of progressive icon Bill Clinton?

(I know more people died during the 9-11 attacks and it was by far the largest attack suffered by the US, but Al-Qaeda terrorists didn't start their war on the US on January 20, 2001. In fact, one can make the argument that the Clinton Administration's record on fighting terrorists emboldened Al-Qaeda.)

But let's give credit where credit is due: Clinton and his people do talk a great war on terrorism. Let's examine Clinton's record of combating terrorists:

In 1993, President Clinton failed to prevent a bombing at New York City's World Trade Center, and the terrorists succeeded in their WTC attack, killing six and wounding over 100 New Yorkers. In fact, Clinton never even visited the bomb site. And, except for a few arrests, trials and convictions, according to the late John O'Neill, the FBI's top counterterrorism maven, the Clinton Administration refused to follow-up and go after Al-Qaeda.

He also failed to fiercely battle a faction of Al-Qaeda in Somalia right after the so-called Black Hawk Down incident. Clinton hadn't sent in troops with tanks, Bradley armored vehicles and high-tech weapons. He sent them in with Hummers, rifles, grenades and launchers, and other small arms and conventional weapons. And then he ordered a retreat.

Then there was Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia in 1997, when terrorists succeeded in killing 19 and wounding hundreds American military troops and civilians. There was never any follow-up by Clinton.

In 1998, there were simultaneous attacks on two of our embassies. And then in 1999, the terrorists succeeded in their attack on the US Navy's USS Cole in 1999. Seventeen sailors were killed and scores were wounded. But still Clinton took no action in either attack.

Even Clinton's claim of thwarting the Millennium terrorist attack on LAX airport is a lie. Clinton didn't apprehend that Islamofascist on his way to bomb Los Angeles International Airport. It was achieved by an alert female US Customs agent. Clinton did take credit for it, but the mainstream news media knew that the hardworking Customs agent never received any terrorism alerts and took it upon herself to investigate a suspicious looking character coming across the US-Canadian border.

Yet, our MSM decided to allow Clinton and his flunkies to take credit and the Customs agent has been relegated to relative anonymity. The Customs agent who saved countless lives and property remains unknown in history, but William Jefferson Clinton is being allowed to rewrite history. The only positive thing is that the Clintonistas didn't try to discipline that brave Customs agent for her use of racial profiling.

Even Clinton's own FBI director, Louis Freeh, says the former president let down the American people and the families of victims of the Khobar Towers terror attack in Saudi Arabia. After promising to bring to justice those responsible for the bombing at Khobar Towers -- a bombing that killed 19 and injured hundreds -- Freeh says Clinton refused to personally ask Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah to allow the FBI to question bombing suspects the kingdom had in custody.

Freeh writes in his book, “Bill Clinton raised the subject only to tell the crown prince that he understood the Saudis’ reluctance to cooperate and then he hit Abdullah up for a contribution to the Clinton Presidential Library.” Says Freeh, “That's a fact that I am reporting.”

“I was concerned about who he would put in there as FBI director because [Clinton] had expressed antipathy for the FBI, for the director. [So] I was going to stay there and make sure he couldn't replace me,” Freeh told Mike Wallace of CBS' 60 Minutes.

Here's what action the Clinton Administration took to fight terrorism: his Justice Department minions increased the height of the "wall" prohibiting the FBI and the CIA from sharing information. What moron did that? Jamie Gorelick. The 9-11 Commission Jamie Gorelick. And what did she say when questioned by other panel members? She never testified before the 9-11 panel. It was like having a convict sit on the board of his own parole hearing.

Bill Clinton Honored by anti-Christian Albanian Muslims

by David Yeagley · November 2, 2009 · 8 Comments · ShareThis

We knew it was true all along. Bill Clinton loves Muslims–or any other force that undermines America. This is the liberal position.


The historical betrayal. One of the greatest disgraces in
modern American history: Bill Clinton is honored by the thieving
Muslims of Albania, whose robbery of Serbia was aided and praised
by Bill Clinton.

The thieving Muslim masses of Kosovo have honored Clinton for his perceived loyalty to them, by naming a boulevard after him, and now hoisting an eleven-foot statue of him in downtown Pristina, capital of the Kosovo province.

The American government leaders since Clinton, have all promoted the independent nationhood of Kosovo.

Why?

Kosovo is a precious piece of land.

The problem?

Kosovo was owned by someone else.

Kosovo is a province in Serbia. Kosovo is a special land, with special meaning to the Serbians.

It is like the Black Hills of the Sioux, or Medicine Bluffs to the Comanche.

The problem is, Albanian Muslims (along with Turks and Arabs) have been migrating into Kosovo for a long time, and now there are so many of them that they are the majority, and they are claiming this cherished land of Serbia as their own! Just by being there.

But their migration was encouraged.

Their take-over was planned.

Bill Clinton was a great supporter, all along.

Under Clinton, NATO commander Gen. Wesley Clark bombed the daylights out of the Serbian Kosovites, destroying cities, civilians, and infrastructure.

This was hailed as a wonderful accomplishment. The white, Christian Serbs were to be denigrated, destroyed, and displaced, while the great Liberal powers of the West would uplift, promote, protect, and deliver the trespassing Muslims from Albania.

The whole world seemed anxious to honor the thieving Muslims, with the corruption, the cocaine connections, the mineral wealth, and strategic advantages they would bring in Kosovo. Liberals must always honor such advantages.

And so now, the supreme evidence of the international travesty, a statue of Bill Clinton is displayed in Pristina, the “capital” of “Kosovo.”

The disgusting betrayal of Serbia, by the West, by Bill Clinton, is ‘immortalized’ for all future generations. Like his successor, Barry “Obama” Soetoro, Bill idolizes himself, and much of his actions were about making history for himself, making a name for himself. Ah, but in the matter of Serbia, and the international alliance against Serbia, George Bush was no different. He visited Albania, where he was greeted with hysterical “rock star” enthusiasm.

BadEagle.com has always taken the side of the Serbians.

To this day, we are bewildered at the betrayal which the United States government wreaked upon the nation of Serbia.

In this strange case, it was only Russian Muscovites who seriously supported their linguistic cousins, the Serbians. So, what does this mean, the United States valued relations with Muslims more than Serbians?

That the United States chose to side with the Muslims than be associated with Russia?

The Albanian Muslims who have moved into Kosovo have committed, openly, a war crime. They have robbed a nation of its land and its sovereignty. Of course, they could never have done this without the support of the United States, and the Muslims of neighboring nations. “Christian” Europe did not support Serbia. Why? Who knows? Most of Europe is Roman Catholic. Serbia is Orthodox (Eastern, Serbian Orthodox). Serbia stood completely alone. Even Russia’s support was ineffective.

It is a strange, blatant, egregious phenomenon in the modern world, that a civilized country of the West (Europe) could be robbed of it’s national land–in broad daylight. It is unforgivable, and unthinkable, that the United States would support such an international crime.

However, is it not unthinkable that Bill Clinton would snatch a permanent, historical ‘photo-op’ out if it. Personal glory was probably not his only motive, but, that’s the one that generally meant most to him, as it does to the even more vainglorious Barry “Obama” Soetero.

This statue of Bill Clinton, in Pristina, is a monument not only to Bill Clinton’s unprincipled betrayal of Serbia, but the traitorous liberal attack on all things American.

Never was there such a vomitable event in modern world history.

Bill Clinton, associated with the American flag.

Honored in the cesspool of Albanian Muslim stolen property, lauded in a political ghetto–of his own making.

This is Bill Clinton.

And this is where America is.

Still.


Bill Clinton, in awe of himself, in the heart of illegitimacy: Kosovo.

On the day of 911 Russia commences air strike drills simulating a nuclear attack on the US using aircraft on bombing runs. NORAD scrambles resources to monitor this Russian activity.

September 10, 2001: NORAD Setting Stage for Major Monitoring Exercise, Preparing for a Possible Russian Reaction

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), which is responsible for detecting and responding to any attack on the mainland United States, is in the early stages of a major training exercise called Vigilant Guardian that is to take place off the shores of the northeastern US and Canada.

The exercise is not scheduled to really take off until the following day, September 11 (see (6:30 a.m.) September 11, 2001), but simulated intelligence briefings and meetings are now being held to set the stage for the mock engagements to come. According to author Lynn Spencer, Vigilant Guardian “is the kind of war game that the Russians usually respond to, even in this post-Cold War era.”

The Russians have in fact announced that they will be deploying aircraft to several of their “Northern Tier” bases on September 11.

Russian jets have penetrated North American airspace during previous NORAD exercises, and Colonel Robert Marr, the commander of NORAD’s Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS), has prepared for them to do so again during the current exercise.

If this happens, armed US fighter jets will intercept the Russian aircraft and escort them back to their own territory.

In case there is any confrontation, Marr has ordered that his alert fighter jets be loaded with additional fuel and weapons.

According to Spencer, on September 11, all alert fighters will be “loaded with live missiles in anticipation of any show of force that might be needed to respond to the Russians.” [Spencer, 2008, pp. 3-5]

NORAD has already announced that it is deploying fighters to Alaska and Northern Canada to monitor a Russian air force exercise being conducted in the Russian Arctic and North Pacific Ocean throughout this week (see September 9-11, 2001). [BBC, 2001, pp. 161; NORAD, 9/9/2001]

According to the 9/11 Commission, the Vigilant Guardian exercise will in fact postulate “a bomber attack from the former Soviet Union.” [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 458]

September 9-11, 2001: NORAD Begins Northern Vigilance Military Operation

NORAD begins Operation Northern Vigilance.

For this military operation, it deploys fighters to Alaska and Northern Canada to monitor a Russian air force exercise in the Russian Arctic and North Pacific Ocean, scheduled for September 10 to September 14.

The Russian exercise involves its bombers staging a mock attack against NATO planes that are supposedly planning an assault on Russia.
[BBC, 2001, pp. 161; NORAD, 9/9/2001; Washington Times, 9/11/2001]

The NORAD fighters are due to stay in Alaska and Canada until the end of the Russian exercise.

At some time between 10:32 A.M. and 11:45 A.M. on 9/11, Russian President Vladimir Putin calls the White House to say the Russians are voluntarily halting their exercise.
[Washington Post, 1/27/2002]

So ... they KNEW?!

[vector7]

Nah...that was all just an incredible coincidence.

The Soviet Union fell in 1991 just before Bill Clinton was elected...Russia has become an important partner, friend and close ally to this Administration.

Really....just ask Obama, Hillary and the rest of the Leftist running this country.

Here is more interesting information from JRN: Those Who Know Will Understand

[RememberCuba94]

I have heard Truthers make the argument that supposedly seven of the hijackers were confirmed alive. Any good debunkings on that?

[catfish]

I have heard Truthers make the argument that supposedly seven of the hijackers were confirmed alive. Any good debunkings on that?

I wish I could remember where I read it but the article addressed this exact topic. If I remember correctly it all boiled down to people with the same names or mistaken identity.

[Malsua]

All the Islamics have various name combinations of Dirka Dirka Mohammad Jihad.

There's no surprise that you find someone with the same name alive elsewhere.

Besides, that's a completely stupid detail anyway. Anyone who's planning on murdering plane loads of passengers, detonate various buildings, fly a missile into the Pentagon and crash a plane in PA would probably make sure that the people who were supposed to have done it would either be fictitious or at the bottom of a well somewhere.
