9/11 in Moscow
and Elsewhere
On
9/11 I’ve been in Moscow, signing books, speaking at Round Table of
the Russia’s news agency and the
Moscow University – and watching the prime time screening of an
alternative 9/11 movie on the Channel One of Russian TV. This screening was an
additional asymmetric Russian response to the American administration’s
anti-Russian PR offensive of recent days.
Another 9/11 attraction was a public reading by Vsevolod
Emelin, one of the best modern Russian poets, of his Belloc-like ironic poems
commemorating this day, with the punchline: “People rejoiced all over the world
that America was finally screwed”. Read it in Russian on
http://www.nbp-info.ru/nbart/emelin/
An American spoof on the same topic is at the bottom of this email.
Meanwhile, there is a new stunning explanation of 9/11,
using tactics of Father Brown, this superb priest detective of Chesterton. Read
about it below. In my view, it is first ever plausible explanation of WHY, let
alone HOW.
But now back to the Russian screening and other 9/11
events:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjFNWUfLvzs "Socialist Euro-parliamentarian
Giulietto Chiesa has shown, in February 2008 in EU Parliament, the film "ZERO"
about USA government conspiracy in 9-11 events. Despite personal
invitation to all 785 EU parliamentarians, and to nearly a thousand journalists,
only 6 parliamentarians, and no one Italian journalist, came to see the film.
Chiesa attributed the lack of interest of EU parliamentarians and of EU media to
the influence and control of information by USA ... Until now ZERO
has no distributing agency in EU."
Russian TV Prime Time To Air 9-11 Truth Film
Italian film-maker Giulietto Chiesa, who was in Berlin for a screening of his
documentary which questions the official US version of the 9/11 terrorist
attacks, has called for an international tribunal to probe events. Chiesa was
in Berlin at the weekend for a screening of his film which features,
among others, novelist Gore Vidal and playwright Dario Fo as well as retired
American professor of philosophy David Ray Griffin who advances conspiracy
theories that contradict mainstream accounts of events of 11 September, 2001.
Federal Aviation Administration controllers, US Air Force pilots, military
commanders and physicists also appear in the critical documentary, which the
director hopes will create “political awareness” of the “faulty” official
investigation into the events by the 9/11 Commission. “Some of the individuals
appearing in the film are former FBI and CIA agents, people who have in a sense
taken a very big risk in speaking out. I am very grateful to them because they
have done a big job,” said Chiesa. “The film would not have been possible
without them,” he said, adding that ZERO had been seen in
France and Belgium at individual screenings, and by more
than 20,000 people in Italy. But the film so far has not gained a
distributor in Europe.
Pushing for an international tribunal Chiesa, one
of Italy’s most respected journalists and a La Stampa foreign correspondent for
more than 20 years, told his Berlin audience an 9/11 international tribunal
could serve a useful purpose. “If feelings were strong enough a positive result
could be obtained, but it would not happen immediately. So far it’s been the
US administration that has won the information fight and obtained their
result — unfortunately,” Chiesa said. “Our task is to inform millions of people
of the true situation. Everybody should be involved in this struggle with a
tribunal or commission helping once we win approval for the idea,” he said. In
an interview with German news agency dpa, Chiesa, a European parliamentary
deputy, said Russian television is to give prime time airing to his film on the
eve of this week’s seventh anniversary of the attacks in New York and
Washington. “That means that some 30 million Russian citizens will learn
the truth about what happened, which is a very big result for me.” Chiesa,
whose documentary was first screened to a large German audience at the Goethe
Institute in Munich in May, was clearly delighted at his reception in
Berlin. “It’s important that so many people have shown up,” he said. One
of a panel of six experts debating the 9/11 topic in Berlin, Chiesa
said he was eager for his film to gain more public support and become a
“multiplicator” across Germany. “If that happens it means we are
making politics in the right sense of the word.” Critics question government
version of attacks. Andreas von Buelow, a controversial former German minister
of technology, and ex-state secretary in the Defense Ministry, was among the
Berlin participants who said further investigation was needed into 9/11.
He told dpa it was “one of life’s characteristics that governments are prone to
lie in order to achieve their agendas. The Americans told us that in Iraq,
Saddam Hussein had something to do with al-Qaeda, which was absolutely untrue.
Even the CIA knew this,” he said. “Then, they told us that Saddam Hussein was
preparing weapons of mass destruction, which was also untrue, so they have been
lying all over the place and are still fighting there. Meanwhile a million
people have been killed.” Asked if there was any prospect of a policy change
once the next US president was elected, he replied bluntly “No!”
Ivashov, Chiesa, Meyssan, Russian Experts To Debate 9-11
On Russian TV Friday 9-9-8 Thierry Meyssan reports from Moscow that he and
other leading international 9/11 truth experts have completed taping a
television debate which will be telecast on the first national program of
Russian state television this coming Friday, September 12. This no-holds barred,
free-wheeling debate, featuring strongly divergent opinions about what really
happened on and about September 11, 2001, will be shown in conjunction with the
documentary film Zero, produced and directed by Chiesa and Franco Fracassi of
Telemaco Productions in Rome. Russians are thus about to receive an
unprecedented evening of 9/11 truth. The telecast will go out in the middle of
prime time. Among the participants, General Leonid Ivashov was the commander of
the Russian armed forces on September 11, 2001, and has been a leading critic of
the US official version. A leading strategic thinker for his country,
Ivashov is currently a fellow of the Strategic Culture Foundation (fondsk.ru) in
Moscow. Giulietto Chiesa is a member of the European Parliament in
Brussels, representing the region around Asti in northwest
Italy. Chiesa has been the leading spokesman for 9/11 truth issues in the
European Parliament, and has been the prime mover behind the documentary film
Zero, as well as the collection of essays by the same name which has also
attracted much attention in Italy since being published in the late summer of
2007.
Thierry Meyssan, the founder and leader of the Voltaire
Network in Paris, was one of the first critics of the US
official story about 9/11. He is the author of several books, including 9/11:
The Big Lie, and Pentagate. He also organized the Axis for Peace conference in
Brussels in November 2005. Among almost a dozen Russian participants in
the debate that will be televised Friday evening in Moscow, one of the most
compelling speakers was a Russian cosmonaut who observed the 9/11 events from
his post on the International Space Station in earth orbit. This cosmonaut
recounts in the telecast that, as he watched the immense plume of smoke spread
from New York out over the Atlantic, he took a large number of photos
and films which were sent automatically to both Houston and
Moscow. “We have been studying these images very, very, carefully,”
commented the cosmonaut pointedly, “and we have seen some highly interesting
things.”
The host for the debate stressed that this landmark
telecast did not imply that the Kremlin administration of President Medvedev and
Prime Minister Putin was officially espousing any particular point of view
concerning 9/11, but rather reflected a commitment to free and open debate.
Nevertheless, observers in the Russian capital sense a far-reaching change of
mood by the Russian government in the wake of the August 7-8 genocidal attack on
South Ossetia by the Georgian dictator and US satellite Saakashvili. The
Russians, according to this view, are through with doing favors for the
US, especially in regard to Washington’s official myths
about 9/11 and the war on terror, and this telecast will deliver that message in
a clear and unmistakable way.
And now for the new all-explaining document on 9/11
From Ken Freeland:
In the tireless research and reviews which we as truthers
are engaged in, we come across many helpful guides to our understanding of the
mystery of 9/11. But it is only on the rarest of occasions that we encounter a
piece of research that is so clear, so cogent in its breathtaking sweep and its
ability to connect the dots, that it revolutionizes our understanding of these
events and moves us a quantum step ahead in our ability to present a solid
argument to the public. The piece referenced below is such a gem. After
reading it, I would find it impossible to hold a serious conversation with
anyone about the subject of 9/11 who had not absorbed it. I should state at the
outset that the piece doesn't do much to settle questions of the technical
details of 911. In fact, the author assumes that all three of the buildings
were hit by planes. But this is really irrelevant, as the piece is not about
technical questions, and can stand or fall without respect to exactly how the
attacks were carried out. This piece is totally about the motivation for 9/11.
Remember, for every crime, you must establish a motive and a means. Here the
motive is explicated like nowhere else, and when we consider the specific
buildings which were "attacked" (including Building 6), this "theory" best
satisfies Ockham's Razor… it is the most cogent explanation of why these
particular buildings, including the specific Pentagon offices of Naval
Intelligence, were the targets of the attack. I entreat all of you to download
this pdf document and read it immediately. I won't promise you that is an easy
read. The last part about the banking issues is particularly abstruse for
laymen. But I will promise you that you will find nowhere else such a complete
explanation of the events of 9/11. I should also mention that I was helpfully
prepared for this explanation by already having read Gold Warriors, which is the
best possible background for some of the details here alluded to (the Golden
Lily fortune of Japanese War loot expropriated by the CIA for its clandestine
operations). If you have any difficulty understanding this part of the
exposition, you will find that book is worth its weight in gold.
Understandably, its authors are still in hiding. I was also prepared for this
explanation by early exposure to the theories of Eastman et al. as to the
reasons for the 911 attacks, which are vindicated here, though with considerably
more elaboration and documentation.
Peace,
Ken
Collateral Damage: U.S. Covert Operations and
the Terrorist Attacks on September 11
http://www.israelshamir.net/Contributors/Collateral_Damage_911.pdf
Initially, it is difficult to see a pattern to the
destruction of September 11th other than the total destruction of the
World Trade Center, a segment of the Pentagon, four commercial
aircraft and the loss of 2,993 lives. However, if the perceived objective of the
attack is re-defined from its commonly suggested ‘symbolic’ designation as
either ‘a terrorist attack’ or a ‘new Pearl Harbor,’ and one begins by looking
at it as purely a crime with specific objectives(as opposed to a political
action), there is a compelling logic to the pattern of destruction. The
September11th attacks were meant as a cover-up for financial crimes being
investigated by the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), whose offices in the
Pentagon were destroyed on September 11th.1 After six years of research, this
report presents corroborating evidence which supports their claims, and proposes
a new rationale for the September 11thattacks. The hypothesis of this report is:
the attacks of September 11th were intended to cover-up the clearing of $240
billion dollars in securities covertly created in September 1991 to fund a
covert economic war against the Soviet Union, during which ‘unknown’ western
investors bought up much of the Soviet industry, with a focus on oil and gas.
The attacks of September 11th also served to derail multiple Federal
investigations away from crimes associated with the 1991 covert operation. In
doing so, the attacks were justified under the cardinal rule of intelligence:
“protect your resources” and consistent with a modus operandi of
sacrificing lives for a greater cause.
The New Pearl Harbor
Revisited: 9/11, the Cover-Up, and the Exposé
David Ray Griffin
PUBLISHER'S BOOK DESCRIPTION
In 2004, David Ray Griffin published The New Pearl
Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11. Translated
into several languages, it helped spark a worldwide movement demanding “9/11
truth.” Even as it became increasingly outdated, it continued to be widely cited
as the best introduction to the issues.
Griffin has now written The New Pearl Harbor
Revisited, which provides a chapter-by-chapter updating of the information
provided in that earlier book. It shows that the case against the official
account constructed by independent researchers---who now include
architects, engineers, physicists, pilots, politicians, and former military
officers---is far stronger than it was in 2004, leaving no doubt that 9/11 was a
false-flag operation, designed to give the Bush-Cheney administration a pretext
to attack oil-rich Muslim nations.
Taken together, these two books provide everything one
needs to make an informed decision about 9/11---whether one is a journalist, a
political leader, a religious leader, or an ordinary citizen concerned about
truth, democracy, and the rule of law.
MORE ENDORSEMENTS
“Nowhere is it clearer that truth is now considered
quaint, obsolete here in Washington, than in the disingenuous non-answers to
questions about the cavernous holes in the official version of 9/11—-and the
flippant attempts to marginalize intrepid souls like David Ray Griffin, branded
“blasphemous” by the likes of Tucker Carlson. Facing straight into this rancid
wind, Griffin now provides a definitive account that updates and
integrates his earlier findings. Will Congress ever authorize an honest
investigation of the seminal event of our time?”---Ray McGovern, former
CIA analyst and presidential briefer
“This latest book by David Ray Griffin is scholarly
research at its best. Meticulous empirical investigation and painstaking
analysis are combined to refute the official 9/11 narrative. Every event
surrounding the tragic events of September 11, 2001, is subjected to close
scrutiny, ultimately with a view to revealing the lies and upholding the truth.
In this fascinating and skillfully researched exposé, Griffin
demonstrates unequivocally that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job.”---Michel
Chossudovsky, Professor of Economics and author of America’s War
on Terrorism

completely frivolous:

The Onion - 4th September 2008 / Volume 44, Issue 36
Cheney waits until last minute to buy September 11
gifts
WASHINGTON - Busy dealing with important paperwork and other vice
presidential duties in recent weeks, Dick Cheney was forced to put off until the
last minute a cherished annual tradition: gift-shopping for his favorite
holiday, 9/11.
"I looked at the calendar yesterday, and I couldn't believe
my eyes -- 9/11 is almost here!" a rosy-cheeked Cheney said upon returning to
the White House Sunday with two giant bags overflowing with gift-wrapped boxes
and big red bows. "It's the most wonderful time of the year."
------------------------------------------------

friends, and dear widows of 9/11
------------------------------------------------
Although Cheney himself has never received any Sept. 11
gifts, with the exception of a pair of silk pajamas from his wife and a second
term in office, he insisted that he gets more joy from giving than receiving.
According to Cheney, Sept. 11 is a time to reflect and give thanks for all the
benefits and blessings 9/11 has given him in the past.
Cheney, however, lamented the fact that he has seen a
recent decline in the nation's 9/11 spirit.
"I don't know what's happened," Cheney said. "Less than
seven years ago, 9/11 seemed like a huge event for every American. Back then, on
Sept. 11 morning, everyone would dart downstairs at 8:46 a.m. sharp, shouting
and screaming, and the ground outside would be blanketed in the most beautiful
gray as far as the eye could see.
"I especially loved the streets of New York
during this season -- the lights, the sounds, people rushing every which way,
the sidewalks so crowded you could barely move, the wide-eyed looks on the
people's faces. The whole New York skyline was lit up like a
Christmas tree."
'Going to be the best September 11 ever'
"Sometimes, in all the hustle and bustle of the season,
it's easy to forget the true meaning of Sept. 11," Cheney said. "Sept. 11 is not
about fancy 9/11 parades, or big 9/11 office parties. In fact, it's not even
just about two buildings crumbling to the ground and leaving thousands of
innocent people dead."
"No," Cheney continued. "No, 9/11 is about the warm feeling
you get when you help an elderly woman cross the street and then whisper to her
that the terrorists can strike at any moment. 9/11 is about the satisfaction of
telling people to do things and then them doing it -- not because they want to,
but because they are afraid to do otherwise. 9/11 is about removing Saddam
Hussein from power. But most of all, 9/11 is about love."
Cheney said he plans to spend a quiet Sept. 11 at home this
year, during which he will exchange gifts with loved ones and watch his taped
VHS footage of the old 9/11 TV specials while he smiles and laughs.
"I have a feeling this is going to be the best Sept. 11
ever," Cheney said with a grin. "I just dread the day I have to tell my kids
that 9/11 isn't real."
