I am not a tremendous conspiracy believer. I do believe that Al Qaida is responsible for the attack. I also believe that the Bush Administration in their profound stupidity missed all the cues that were out there and were partially to blame for not raising the indicated emergency alerts for airports. I do a lot of electronic media work and remember in alerts during the Clinton Admin. needing my videotapes x-rayed because of these airport alerts--none here with all the red flags before 9/11. ALSO I have never read any investigative follow-up re the SELLING SHORT OF THE TOP RE-INSURERS During THE MONTH PRECEDING THE ATTACK. The top two or three huge re-insurers(The giant institutions that actually insure the big insurance companies) in Europe. The executives of the re-insurers had no idea why their company's values were plummeting in the period before 9/11. Who the hell has ever written in depth about this phenom? Who has traced the short selling--who knew enough re. the impending attack to make a mint off of short-selling these companies??

Anyone with basic sense can connect the dots. Our government used these people to draw in, humiliate, and defeat the Soviets, as the satanic infidel, in Afghanistan then discarded them as we became the satanic infidel.

I have concluded that after seeing the changes to men as they assume the Office of the President that when they get there they discover that the people, and we probably all know who they are, who really run the place tell them how it's going to be and that is that. We have no republic. We elect puppets to send to Washington and they obey their global coporate masters. Dick Cheney recently commented that he wished Ms Clinton had been elected because she would have been easier for "us" to work with. The "us" to whom he refers is the shadow government of which I am sure he is still part.

I accepted the general theory that Osama Bin Laden was infuriated at the Americans maintaining a military base in Saudi Arabia. At least that is what he said he was feeling. Of course, once the Russians were driven out of Afghanistan, he needed a new cause to motivate his Wahhabi inspired fanatic followers. From a religious point of view, the Saudi government was immoral and perhaps Bin Laden blamed the Americans for corrupting it.

The national government is now in possession of information that may clarify what the Al Qaida motivations were. People need to know this information so that they won’t spend more taxpayer money chasing Bogey men. I am referring to the trove of information that was taken from Bin Laden's house on the night that he was killed. The government is even more likely to hold this information back if it contains things that might embarrass various agencies. The press and all open media should mount an effort to declassify as much of it as possible. The public really needs to know the facts so that unwarranted fears are not further manipulated to someone's political and financial advantage.

It is abundantly clear that the war in Iraq was a Republican plot to bring back the cold war Reagan era militarism to the advantage of oil companies and military contractors. The documents put on line by the Project for the New American Century showed that the plot was being hatched two years before Bush was elected. Rumsfield even said that Iraq's oil would pay for the war without any taxpayer cash on the line. These people were babbling idiots and only because the public had been scared so much by the 9/11 attacks did it allowed them to go ahead with their scheme. I bet Bin Laden was delighted.

The underlying thinking of Republican strategists in planning the Afghanistan war has not yet been revealed. I suspect that it has everything to do with the fact that Afghanistan is surrounded by five nuclear powers and that the country is home to trillions of dollars of mineral wealth. I think US leaders allied themselves with Pakistan, because it was the easiest player to co-opt with money.

The war on terrorism and 9/11 are just smoke screens that keep the public confused and focused on the wrong things. It is unfortunate that the American public has to pay so much to maintain these mythologies, but many great civilizations have had their temples and priests who did little except to shield the real power holders from scrutiny.

Let's not beat around the bush. (no pun intended) We know that elements within our government were heavily involved in the planning, execution and cover-up of 9/11. I'm not even going to argue this point, because with all the evidence out there for anyone to see, if you don't know that by now, I'm not wasting my time.The question now is just what in the hell are you going to do about it? It's for sure we can't just let them get away with it. We can't keep portending things are normal. We can't have psychopathic mass-murders running our country. So what are you going to do? How soon are you going to do it? The answers are do whatever you can. If you can write, write. If you can draw - draw. If you can speak, speak. Just don't remain silent. And keep doing this until we have put the people responsible for 9/11 where they belong.

Now is a great time to connect some dots. No conspiracy theories, just publicly available information.

Start with the website "The Project for a New American Century", click on "Publications /Reports", pull up document "REBUILDING
AMERICA’S DEFENSES" and search for "Pearl Harbor". Read enough to get a complete idea of the context, how in order to attack Iraq and other Middle East countries, we would need an event like Pearl harbor. We got it.

Next, go to the site "http:-slash slash - rememberbuilding7.org/10/", click on "Architects & Engineers: Solving the Mystery of WTC 7" Listen to how it is unlikely WTC7 collapsed with out explosive demolition, and by extension, perhaps WTC 1 & 2.

When I first read "rebuilding America's Defenses" several years ago the document was signed by Rumsfeld, Scooter Libby, Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush, Paul Wolfowitz, Willian Krystal. Since then the Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush's names have been removed.

Interesting that we could try the perps that remained alive in Nuremberg, but these Muslims like KSM are just too dangerous to even allow in the country much less offer to have them tried in a civilian court. I guess our sensibilities as a political body have become too delicate for that. Or it might be that thew "war" paradigm as a response to international terrorism requires less restraint and less accountability than the law enforcement model would have and thus made craven decisions like invading Iraq, or just the "bush doctrine" easier to sell to a fear stoked populace. Sad to see the Obama administration take the baton on this policy and run with it. I think we are tough enough and our courts reliable arbiters of the facts that a murdering douche like KSM could be brought to this country and shown how civilized people administer justice. But by now, he knows that we are hardly better than the murdering douches that sat in the dock at Nuremberg and that could make any attempt to try him a referendum on our conduct post 9/11. It might also give us a better understanding of bush's relationship with his "friends" in Saudi Arabia and I suspect that may be a large part of why a trial cannot happen in this country.

Much more needs to be done in terms of understanding the "why" behind 9.11.
