SICK & TIRED OF 9/11 LIES
OUR VOICES MUST BE HEARD

By: Alan Homcy

I'm sick and tired of both Republicans and Democrats politicizing
9/11. They're both equally guilty. I'm sick and tired of Republicans
characterizing anyone who questions the official government story as
being a "Bush Hater," and I'm sick and tired of the Democrats using 9/11
as a political football to gain an edge in the upcoming election.

Despite the mainstream news saturation about the 9/11 hearings,
nobody is saying anything. The bickering and name-calling bring to mind
spoiled 5 year olds. The administration appointed commission has proven
itself to be a sham, unwilling to ask the probing questions that would
truly make the witnesses squirm.



The problem is that the commission has framed their inquiry with certain
a priori assumptions, from which their line of inquiry flows. The tacit
assumption is that the following statements are irrefutable:

1.. The 9/11 attacks happened precisely the way they were reported by
the mainstream press, and our government was caught totally by surprise.


2.. They were planned and executed solely by Osama Bin Laden and Al
Queda.


3.. All material evidence conclusively shows that points 1 and 2 are
true beyond any reasonable doubt.
This is like holding hearings about how far one can sail before falling
off the end of the earth. The entire debate is predicated on the
assumption that the earth is flat. But outside the courtroom, a crowd of
citizens is screaming that the earth is round, while those inside are
locked in debate over whether the distance is 50 miles, 100 miles, or
200 miles. The point is that if the foundation is unstable, it really
doesn't matter if you go with the mauve or the teal drapes.

Now if statements 1,2, and 3 are indeed true, then the line of inquiry
makes sense, but if there still exists legitimate doubt about these
statements, then the questions are irrelevant. It's like a group of
blind hunters arguing about who shot off the elephant's bill or the
elephant's wings, while a duck lies dead at their feet. Regardless of
who wins the argument, it's still a duck.

So here we have the CFR sponsored commission asking about who knew what
about Osama and Al Queda and when they knew it. Whoa. First, please
share with those of us who pay your salaries the top-secret body of
evidence that proves their guilt. And please don't show us that grainy
videotaped "confession" starring the fat Osama, or the incredible
indestructible passport that somehow survived the carnage at ground zero
that liquefied the black boxes. By the way, whenever something blows up,
every terrorist group on the planet claims responsibility, even if they
were not involved, because their cause is furthered only by planting
their flag on the rubble. Why has Bin Laden failed to take credit for
the most successful and devastating terrorist attack in history? Humble
terrorist is an oxymoron.

The CFR sponsored commission is investigating the supposed breakdowns in
intelligence. Whoa. FBI agent Colleen Rowley's request for a search
warrant of a suspicious flight student's laptop was categorically
denied, causing Rowley to suspect foul play since such requests were
never denied. She subsequently wrote impassioned letters to FBI Director
Robert Mueller begging for explanation, which she never received.
Breakdown? More like a decision. When intelligence agents were
threatened with firing if they continued to investigate Bin Laden and
Saudi sponsored terrorists, is that a breakdown? When FBI translator
Sibel Edmonds was told to ignore pre-9/11 transmitted warnings and
offered a promotion to keep her mouth shut, is that a breakdown? When
Russian and Jordanian intelligence officials delivered firsthand
accounts that Bin Laden was going to carry out massive US attacks in
late summer of 2001 to key government officials, was that too a
breakdown? When huge volumes of put options were suspiciously placed on
airlines and securities firms directly affected by the WTC attacks, all
under the watchful eyes of the FBI and Justice Department's PROMIS
software, the sole purpose of which is to immediately identify and red
flag just such activity, is this also characterized as a "breakdown?"

It's as if the 9/11 believers and the 9/11 skeptics are living in
parallel universes. The CFR sponsored commission, mainstream media, and
nearly all government officials parse millions of documents looking for
needles in the proverbial haystack, while thousands of independent
researchers and concerned Americans wait outside, banging on the
soundproof windows screaming that the dots have been connected. Many of
us, myself included, voted for Bush and could care less about politics.
Both conservatives and liberals, we want to know the truth. We have been
lied to long enough. We're prepared to deal with the truth.
