9-11: America's Reichstag Fire
---------------------------------------
Five Years Later — Where Are We - Are We Any Safer? Of course
not, that was never the intent.
On February 27, 1933, four weeks after Hitler was sworn in as
Chancellor, the Reichstag building, Germany's parliament was
destroyed in a fire supposedly set by a Dutch arsonist. He was
not a lone arsonist and definitely not the arsonist responsible
for the conflagration. He was of below average intelligence and
easily duped and manipulated. On the evening of February 27th
Karl Ernst, a former hotel bellhop who had become the Berlin
S.A. leader, led a small detachment of storm troopers to the
Reichstag, where they quickly scattered gasoline and
self-igniting chemicals and then made their way quickly back to
the palace by the way they had come (and underground passage
from Goering's Reichstag Presidents Palace). Shortly after they
departed Dutch Communist Marinus Van der Lubbe, with a passion
for arson, made his way into the huge, darkened Reichstag, and
to him an unfamiliar building, and set some small fires of his
own. This feeble-minded pyromaniac was a godsend to the Nazis.
He had been picked up by the S.A. a few days before after having
been overheard in a bar boasting that he had attempted to set
fire to several public buildings and that he was going to try
the Reichstag next. The S.A. then ensured that he 'found' his
way into the (Reichstag) that night. Two and a half minutes
after he entered the great central hall was fiercely burning,
the S.A. having started the blaze before leaving. He had only
his shirt for tinder. Van der Lubbe was the patsy in the
Reichstag fire and was promptly imprisoned the next day. He was
later executed. Rudolph Diels, the Gestapo chief, added in an
affidavit given during the 'investigation' that 'Goering knew
exactly how the fire was to be started' and had ordered him 'to
prepare, prior to the fire, a list of people who were to be
arrested immediately after it'.
Using the excuse of 'Terrorism', that he had created, Hitler
took full advantage of this 9/11-like calamity to whip up fear
of the "terrorists" ("Terrorism is the best political weapon for
nothing drives people harder than a fear of sudden death." -
Adolf Hitler) - in this case, Communist terrorists - and to
impose legislation known as the 'Enabling Act' that
'temporarily' suspended civil liberties to deal with the
'terrorist' threat posed by Communists. The temporary emergency
lasted until Germany was in ruins in 1945. The Germans, by and
large, acquiesced. With sheepish submissiveness the German
people accepted that, as a result of a fire, each one of them
lost what little personal freedom and dignity was guaranteed by
the constitution; as though it followed as a necessary
consequence.... more than one of the German legislators had
doubts about the official version, but few spoke up. Within
months Hitler had sweeping gun legislation passed and
confiscated all firearms with the exception of certain Nazi
party members and military. The Germans were now enslaved.
"In Germany, the Nazis first came for the communists, and I did
not speak up, because I was not a Communist. Then they came for
the Jews, and I did not speak up, because I was not a Jew. Then
they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak up,
because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the
Catholics, and I did not speak up, because I was not a Catholic.
Then they came for me... and by that time, there was no one left
to speak up for anyone."
- Martin Niemoeller, Pastor, German Evangelical (Lutheran)
Church (1892-1984)
On September 11, 2001 multiple jet airliner aircraft were flown
into the twin towers in the financial district in Manhattan, New
York by various Arab nationals supposedly associated with the
Al-Qaeda terrorist organization, reported to be commanded by
Osama Bin Laden. For 35 minutes, from 8:15 AM until 9:05 AM,
although widely known within the FAA and the Military that four
planes have been simultaneously hijacked and taken off course,
no one notifies the President of the United States. It is not
until 9:30 AM that any Air Force planes are scrambled to
intercept, but by then it is too late. This means the National
Command Authority waited for 75 minutes before scrambling
aircraft, even though it was known that four simultaneous
hijackings had occurred -- an event that has never happened in
history [CNN; ABC; MS-NBC; Los Angeles Times; New York Times]
and in direct violation of ALL Military protocol. Aircraft were
never to be allowed any closer than one mile to the twin towers,
military jets typically being scrambled for intercept at five
miles.
Using the excuse of 'Terrorism' that they had helped create, six
months after the 9/11 attacks, as Hitler had done in 1933, the
Bush administration took full advantage of the hysteria and
fear, constantly whipped to a froth by the mainstream media
puppets dancing on the ends of their strings, to rush the
'Patriot Act' into law, 'temporarily' suspending civil liberties
to deal with the terrorist threat posted by Islamic
fundamentalists. As the 'Enabling Act' did in Nazi Germany in
1933, the Patriot Act removed every one of our Constitutional
and Civil rights/liberties and effectively enslaved the Nation.
Most people just don't realize this because it is being
exercised somewhat surreptitiously. Somewhat. If there is
another 9/11 type incident, and there will be, Patriot II will
be passed. What this really means is that the Patriot Act in
full will be enforced. Among it's other provisions would be the
removal of citizenship from convicted or 'suspected' terrorists,
similar to the removal of German citizenship of German Jews, a
key 'legal' step toward their expulsion to FEMA
concentration/death camps (built and standing ready in many
locations across America). Having read the Patriot Act in
entirety, and looked at the statutes on the books of several
States, anyone, that's ANYONE can now be deemed a suspected
'terrorist' and incarcerated and held indefinitely. Legislation
of the nature of the 'Patriot Act' should have taken 1 1/2 years
to write, not six months. This 'temporary emergency' brought on
by 9/11, just as in the case of Germany, will last until
America, and what's left of her Constitution, lies in ruins.
Americans, like the Germans, by and large, have acquiesced. With
sheepish submissiveness the American people have accepted that,
as a result of the destruction of two towers in the financial
district of New York under extremely suspect conditions, each
one of them has lost what little personal freedom and dignity
was guaranteed by the Constitution; as though it followed as a
necessary consequence......
"Those that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little
temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety, and
ultimately will have neither". Ben Franklin

On 9/10/2006 a local New York radio station interviewed two FEMA
employees. When asked what they were doing in town, one of them
answered "oh, we are here for the disaster tomorrow". The
interviewer sat bolt upright in his chair and asked, "what
disaster"? The two FEMA employees ended the interview and
hastily left.
Federal investigators have received evidence that some 2,000 +
Middle Easterners in the New York area were warned ahead of time
to stay out of the twin towers and out of lower Manhattan
altogether on the morning of Sept. 11.
U.S. military intelligence experts, and the FBI, knew a domestic
terrorist plot was about to spring to life in America. On
September 10, 2001 the NSA intercepted two messages in Arabic
between the suspected commander of the World Trade Center and
Pentagon attacks and the alleged chief hijacker, but did not
share the information with other intelligence agencies. One
message read: “Tomorrow is zero hour,” and the second: “The
match begins tomorrow.” [New York Times, August 10, 2002;
Reuters, June 19, 2002] On June 19, 2002, CNN reported the
contents of these two National Security Agency intercepts. Other
news outlets, including the Washington Post, also reported on
the intercepts. [New York Times, August 10, 2002] They also knew
that 'associates' of Osama bin Laden HAD boarded all the
aircraft used in the attacks on the World Trade Center towers,
according to several sources, but did nothing to stop them.
On September 10. 2001, "Enemy Number One", Bin Laden, was in a
Pakistani military hospital in Rawalpindi receiving a dialysis
treatment, courtesy of America's indefectible ally Pakistan, as
confirmed by a report of CBS News and the Pakistani Military.
Bin Laden had been rapidly and quitely spirited into the
military hospital for this treatment. On that night, says a
medical worker who wanted her identity protected, they moved out
all the regular staff in the urology department and sent in a
secret team to replace them. She says it was treatment for a
very special person. Bin Laden could have easily been arrested
on short notice. The U.S. Military, the CIA and the Bush
Administration were well aware of his whereabouts. But, then, we
would not have had an Osama Legend, which has fed the news chain
as well as George W's speeches over the course of the last five
years!!
On or about 9/10 former N.Y. Mayor Giuliani was told by Federal
Agents that the WTC was going to collapse on 9/11.
A particularly urgent warning was received the night before the
attacks, causing John Ashcroft and top Pentagon brass to
suddenly cancel travel plans for the next morning, apparently
because of 'sudden security concerns'. [Newsweek, 9/12/2001]
“Why that same information was not available to the 266 people
who died aboard the four hijacked commercial aircraft may become
a hot topic on the Hill." [Newsweek, 9/13/2001] It has since
been learned they were informed of the impending events of 9/11.
Radio France International offered details of allegations that
terrorist suspect Osama bin Laden met with a CIA officer in the
United Arab Emirates in July, 2001 in a Gulf hospital. There he
received "precise information" about an imminent attack on the
US and how and when it was to be conducted. According to the
French daily, the agent met Bin Laden while he was being treated
at the American Hospital in Dubai for a kidney infection by Dr.
Terry Callahan, a specialist in kidney ailments and male
infertility. The agent was subsequently recalled to Washington
after he boasted to several friends that he had visited the
Saudi terror mastermind who at that time was wanted for the
bombings of US embassies in Africa and the attack on the
destroyer Cole in Yemen. This report was confirmed by local Arab
News sources.
United States and Taliban officials met secretly in Frankfurt
almost a year before the September 11 attacks to discuss terms
for the Afghans to hand over Osama bin Laden, according to a
German television documentary. The U.S. ultimately refused the
offer.
The CIA was given the first name and telephone number of an 9/11
hijacker more than two years before the attacks, the New York
Times has said, and did nothing with the information.
The CIA tracked two suspected terrorists to an Al-Qaeda summit
in Malaysia in January 2000, then looked on as they re-entered
America and began preparations for September 11.
A two-time Pulitzer Prize winner by the name of Burns, working
for the New York Times wrote an article that appeared on the
Times's Web site Sept. 8, detailing Al-Qaeda warnings
(apparently sent to him and several other journalists) of the
9/11 attacks. But Burns's prescient piece about Osama bin Laden
never appeared in the newspaper, and the Times quickly expunged
it from the electronic archives.
Condoleezza Rice was warned on Sept. 6 about an imminent terror
attack by a former U.S. senator who headed up a blue-ribbon
commission on terrorism. She disregarded the warning.
The U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE made a PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT on
September 7th SAYING BIN LADEN WAS ABOUT TO ATTACK. "We are also
concerned about information we received in May 2001 that
American citizens may be the target of a terrorist threat from
extremist groups with links to Osama Bin Laden's Al-Qaeda
organization." They were ignored.
German police confirm an Iranian deportee phoned warnings from
his deportation cell on 9/10 to Police in the U.S. to warn of
the planned attack on the World Trade Centre. The FBI ignored
him instructing NYPD to do the same.
A young Palestinian boy said to his teacher, "Do you see those
two buildings?" he asked while pointing toward the World Trade
Center. "They won't be standing there next week." It was noon,
Sept. 6, 2001.
Authorities tracked numerous leads that many people, including
members of the Arab-American community and students, heard
rumors of the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington in
the days leading up to the hijackings. What they have thus far
discovered is that 'word on the street' in the days leading up
to 9/11 was indeed that hijackings were to take place (on 9/11)
and that aircraft were to be flown into the twin towers.
Jeb Bush declared Martial law in Florida, EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER
01-261, four days before September 11th, for no apparent reason.
George Bush Sr., as President, at the close of the Persian Gulf
War, 1991, arranged to bring into the U.S. some four thousand
Iraqi military officers, some from intelligence units, and their
families. Some 550 of these officers became residents in
Lincoln, Nebraska, AND TWO THOUSAND OF THEM took up residence in
Oklahoma City. In a watered down story, CBS' "60 Minutes"
program did a segment once on this about Lincoln, Nebraska but
said NOTHING about the Iraqi military officers in Oklahoma City.
The financial and other provisions for these officers and their
families were arranged by the Elder Bush, and then quietly
continued by Bill Clinton as President, and perpetuated by
George Bush Jr. The arrangements included financial subsidies,
housing, and employment for the Iraqi officers. The Elder Bush,
Clinton, and George W. Bush all were in a position to know that
the Iraqi officers that they provided for included double, or
'sleeper' agents as they are also known. The FBI
Counter-Intelligence Division at no time was instructed to do
anything about these (agents).
The CIA also was informed by Foreign intelligence agencies,
French, British and Israeli prior to the "terrorist" attacks
scheduled for 9/11 that highly skilled Iraqi pilots among the
four thousand Iraqi officers now resident in the U.S., could
possibly take over commercial flights, by retrieving the weapons
concealed onboard, and then commandeering the flight deck. The
weapons had been concealed by clean-up crew members who are
generally not subject to airport security provisions.
As part of the targeting of the World Trade Center buildings, a
group of surrogates for the Iraqi military officers reportedly
spent considerable time within one of the buildings, with
building security officers somehow oblivious of their presence.
CIA top officials were informed of this and had prior knowledge
of the purpose of the "terrorist" attacks - that being to
effectively paralyze the financial infrastructure of the U.S.
One U.S. intelligence agency, Officials at the Chantilly,
Virginia-based National Reconnaissance Office, had planned an
exercise on the morning of 9/11/2001 in which an errant
aircraft, a small corporate jet would crash into one of the four
towers at the agency's headquarters building after experiencing
a mechanical failure.....It was abruptly cancelled without
explanation.
Wargames were scheduled and used as cover for the operational
execution of 9/11. At least five if not six training exercises
were in operation in the days leading up to and on the morning
of 9/11. This meant that NORAD radar screens showed as many as
22 hijacked airliners at the same time. NORAD had bee
