On Sept. 11, 2001, this country changed forever.

There’s no overstating it. It’s the day that bumped George W. Bush’s approval rating above 90 percent, the day that united our country in a display of patriotism not seen since World War II.

Sept. 11 shifted our nation’s domestic and foreign policy permanently, and was responsible for starting a War on Terror that is still deploying thousands of young men and women.

Ten years later, we’re still trying to understand what happened that day.

And from this lack of understanding comes confusion.

As many know, there exists a noteworthy movement that claims the events of 9/11 were an “inside job” — a purposeful act orchestrated by our government and special interest groups designed, depending on who you ask, to increase oil revenues or seize foreign lands, among other claims.

These so-called “truthers” have arrived at UW-Eau Claire.

On Monday night the Student Senate unanimously approved the constitution for a new student organization — Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth: College Outreach Team.

According to the organization’s parent website, their mission is to “research, compile, and disseminate scientific evidence relative to the destruction of the three World Trade Center skyscrapers, calling for a truly open and independent investigation.”

Global Research, May 12, 2012

A solid case for the prosecution of Bush, Blair, Rumsfeld, Cheney, their legal counsel and others, for war crimes, crimes against the peace, torture, and crimes against humanity has been established at the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal with a guilty verdict on day 5 of the third major session of the Tribunal.

The Tribunal recommends to the War Crimes Commission to give the widest international publicity to this conviction and grant of reparations, as these are universal crimes for which there is a responsibility upon nations to institute prosecutions if any of these Accused persons may enter their jurisdictions. Global Research Director Michel Chossudovsky is a member of the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission and was present throughout the Tribunal hearings.

KUALA LUMPUR, 11 May 2012 (mathaba)

EPA scientist who warned of caustic dust from Ground Zero wins job back

A government scientist sacked for exposing the dangers to firefighters from the caustic air at Ground Zero in the days after 9/11 got her job back on Monday.

A federal court ordered that Cate Jenkins, a chemist at the Environmental Protection Agency, be reinstated to her job with back pay.

Her lawyer said the decision, although based on matters of legal process, amounted to vindication for Jenkins’s claims that the EPA had covered up the danger posed to first responders and others in lower Manhattan from the asbestos and highly corrosive dust that rose from the wreckage of the World Trade Center.

It was also a rare victory for whistleblowers, said lawyer Paula Dinerstein. “This doesn’t happen that often.”

Jenkins, who has spent more than 30 years at the EPA, was the first agency official to warn of the dangers of the caustic dust rising from the ruins of the World Trade Center.

The dust, which had dangerously high pH levels, was so corrosive it caused chemical burns to the lungs of firefighters and other rescue teams. Hundreds of workers spent weeks at the scene without protective gear such as respirators.

Subsequent research has shown as many as two-thirds suffered permanent lung damage.

Medical experts now believe much of the health effects could have been prevented if workers were issued proper safety gear.

At the time, however, Christine Todd Whitman, then head of the EPA, claimed there were no readings to indicate a health hazard. Whitman has since said the Bush administration did not want to cause panic

Those who have studied history know that nothing invigorates and empowers an authoritarian regime more than a spectacular act of violence, some sudden and senseless loss of life that allows the autocrat to stand on the smoking rubble and identify himself as the hero. It is at moments like this that the public—still in shock from the horror of the tragedy that has just unfolded before them—can be led into the most ruthless despotism: despotism that now bears the mantle of “security.”

Acts of terror and violence never benefit the average man or woman. They only ever benefit those in positions of power.

Guantanamo Judge Grapples With Disruptive Terror Suspects

FORT MEADE, Md.—The Sept. 11, 2001, conspiracy case began at Guantanamo Bay on Saturday as a battle of wills between a military judge and the five defendants, thwarting government efforts to quickly get the prosecution under way.

Hearings will be resumed next month under an order by Col. James Pohl, the presiding military judge in the proceedings being held at the U.S. Naval station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Closed-circuit feeds were provided to several military installations on the mainland, including this Army installation near Washington.

The arraignment dragged into the night as lawyers for some of the terror suspects demanded a full reading of the lengthy and detailed list of charges against the suspects, a formality that typically is waived.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four co-defendants face potential death sentences if convicted of the plot that saw four airliners hijacked and crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field.

But Saturday’s arraignment was another demonstration of the complexity of prosecuting the men allegedly involved in the planning of the Sept. 11 airline attacks and underscored predictions that a final resolution is years away, especially because many features of the long-troubled military commissions experiment remain untested before the federal courts. Among them are such fundamental questions of which constitutional rights, if any, the defendants hold.

But one defendant, Ramzi Binalshibh, said at the hearing that the government might not wait that long. It was possible, he said, that his Guantanamo jailers “are going to kill us” and call it a suicide, he said, before Col. Pohl, silenced him for disrupting the proceedings.

Heights of Hypocrisy: The Universal Use of 9/11 in Politics

9/11 widow and activist
A year ago, I wrote a blog about the death of Osama bin Laden, “Today is Not a Day of Celebration for Me.”
I wrote the blog after witnessing so many Americans celebrating, fist-pumping, dancing, and reveling in the streets about the death of bin Laden.

Seeing so many Americans acting like that was too much of an uncomfortable reminder of those who celebrated in the streets during the attacks of 9/11 while men like my husband either burned alive, were crushed alive, or horrifically jumped to their deaths.

A year ago, what drove me to write was my sadness in bearing the sight of Americans celebrating the death of anyone — even the man largely responsible for the murder of my husband.

Now one year later, I am once again driven to write due to witnessing President Obama resort to the same campaign tactics as George W. Bush.

Frankly, for what it’s worth, it sickens me; and it saddens me.

President Obama, have you lost your way so much that you now believe that the murder of anyone should be your most defining moment? A moment for which you want to earn votes?

Respectfully, Mr. President, perhaps you should relinquish your Nobel Peace Prize.

In the end, I guess I should not be surprised.

President Obama, when it comes down to many things, you are not much different than George W. Bush. To name a few: You drew back on your promise to close GTMO. You did away with the use of Article III courts and our Constitution in favor of military tribunals. You kept the Patriot Act. You expanded Executive power. You didn’t release the 28 pages of the Joint Inquiry of Congress’ Report regarding possible Saudi complicity in 9/11. And, in one area, drone attacks, you’ve actually far exceeded the realms of both George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, combined. You really must be so proud.

And to all those Democrats and progressives out there who are now celebrating this campaign ad, those who are supporting its use, saying that its about time Democrats fight dirty like the Republicans; level the playing field so to speak. Congratulations. You, too, must be so proud.

What great heights we’ve all soared to in the past 10 years.

A friend once said that it’s hypocrisy that ultimately does a candidate, a person, (and maybe even a country) in.

I guess we’ll find out if he’s right

On Osama, Obama and Diaries: If you still believe this BS you have not been paying attention

Exactly 1 year after the Navy Seal team “allegedly” killed Osama bin Laden who was hiding behind his wife fighting valiantly while the White house was watching via the Seal cameras they did not record the raid and chucked his body in the sea because that was Muslim custom to stop his grave from becoming a shrine and the photo’s of his dead body, apart from the one photoshopped one the MSM used all over the planet to proof Osama had really been killed, can’t be made public because the judge refuses to demand the White house releases them, Obama secretly travelled to Afghanistan to announce victory over al Qaeda.

We still have to be in Afghanistan for another 12 years two years of course even though 98% of the population has never heard about the events of 911 but we have destroyed al Qaeda which inexplicably turned up in Libya just before they wanted to “liberate” Libya from Gaddafi so that is a good thing because now we have to “liberate” Syria from Assad who for reasons only know to mad Muslim dictators has begun to kill off his valiantly uprising population who magically have received tons of weapons out of nowhere before we attack Iran which we have to do soon because their mad Muslim dictator can not be re-elected next election which as we all know is a hallmark of mad Muslim dictatorships and why let a perfectly good example of vilification go to waste.

Confused??? Well that is in short what we have been fed over the last 11 years after the 9/11 attacks so if you still believe this crap you have not been paying attention!

But don’t worry you can read Osama’s diaries online and for those who don’t want to waste their time here is the short version which was disseminated throughout our MSM for public consumption

US Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano says terrorists are still intent on attacking western countries including New Zealand.

Ms Napolitano is in New Zealand and has signed a joint statement to strengthen border security and combat trans-national crime.

She told Radio New Zealand’s Morning Report programme that threats from terrorism remain.

“Al Qaeda and its affiliates are still intent on attacking the West, and that would include of course Australia and New Zealand.

“We’ve no specific or credible threats right now about that but we need to … just be very vigilant.”

Ms Napolitano says cyber-crime is on the increase, with more terrorists using the internet to plan attacks.

However she says countries are better prepared since the terrorist attacks in the United States on 11 September 2001.

There are improved information-sharing agreements and technology that enables governments to monitor possible threats.

Janet Napolitano on Thursday met Labour Party leader David Shearer who said they discussed cyber terrorism and the challenges that countries such as the United States face.

Pentagon admits it has no photo evidence of Bin Laden’s death

By Elliott Freeman

Pentagon officials recently disclosed to the Associated Press (AP) that they could not find any photo or video evidence to confirm that Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was killed in the Navy Seal raid in Pakistan a year ago.

Some organizations contend that the cover-up extends beyond the Bin Laden raid, including Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, a group of over 1,600 technical professionals that is calling for a new 9/11 investigation. “The raid is not the only part of the Bin Laden narrative that doesn’t add up,” said founder Richard Gage, AIA. “It’s also highly unlikely that Bin Laden and Al Qaeda had access to plant the explosives that brought down the Twin Towers and Building 7.”
