Understanding 911:
Incompetence, Blowback, Pearl Harbor or Reichstag Fire?

9/11 Parable

Imagine a hypothetical situation where a team of vicious thieves plots an exceptionally violent bank robbery in the downtown financial district of a major city. Numerous anomalies are noticed during the commission of this crime.

The bank tellers are not able to send out an alarm to the police even though banks have numerous hidden silent alarms for foiling robbery.

The police take an extraordinarily long amount of time to show up on the scene, despite an unblemished record of fast response to prior robberies.

The cops who do eventually respond are not dispatched from the nearest police station, but from a suburban police force many miles away that travels far below emergency speeds to intercept the robbers.

The criminals are business partners of the chief of police and the Mayor, the Mayor's youngest brother is a director of the company providing security to the bank, and the City's comptroller (in charge of the money) came from a company in charge of remotely accessing the bank's electronics (which could explain the lack of transmission of an alarm at the start of the robbery).

The City Council passes new laws immediately after the robbery to crack down on the financial freedoms of the town's citizens, using the pretext that the police had an "intelligence failure" caused by inadequate budgets and inability of different departments to properly communicate with each other.

The newspapers report that nearby towns warned the police that the robbery was about to happen, but never collect all of these warnings into one report to show the overwhelming evidence that the City's elite deliberately allowed the robbers to act unhindered.

Despite these prior warnings, the police act surprised when notified it was underway. The commander of the nearest police station continues working at his desk despite the robbery across the street. The Mayor is holding a photo opportunity at a nearby elementary school, and continues reading to second graders even after his assistant whispers in his ear that bank robbers had just committed the largest mass murder in the city's history.

The region's liberal, "alternative" newspaper that had previously published accurate reports about the Mayor's corruption scandals attacks independent journalists who dare to describe these anomalies.

The police forces of the city and nearby cities were following the robbers before their assault on the bank, and the identity of the robbers (as declared by police spokespersons after the fact) is disputed by press accounts that several of the robbers have good alibis for being in other cities at the time.

Finally, long after the fact, information surfaces that the police were conducting practice exercises simulating official response to bank robbers. Some of the responding officers were away at this "war game" at the police training academy and therefore were unable to apprehend the perpetrators. The honest cops who were in the station were confused by other drills simulating robberies at the other banks in the city, drills that were scheduled by the top political and police leadership of the city at the same time as the real robberies, which made it difficult for the honest cops to determine which bank to protect until after the crimes were completed.

Paradigms for Understanding 9/11

------- 9/11 was a surprise attack -------

------- 9/11 was not a surprise attack -------

Incompetence
Bush bungled the protection of New York and Washington. The intelligence systems were overwhelmed with vague suggestions that something unspecified was about to happen. The different federal agencies were unable to communicate effectively with each other to share collected information that could have prevented the attacks. If the military and intelligence agencies are given a bigger budget and our civil liberties are reduced even further there won't be a repeat of 9/11.
This is the "limited hang out" -- fessing up to a small crime to avoid talking about the deeper, actual crimes. Blowback
We were attacked in retaliation for our violent foreign policy - the view of most liberal / left alternative media. Some of these advocates blame Bush for being blind to the schemes of the evil Saudis, but don't accuse his administration of deliberate malice in allowing 9/11, merely incompetence, poor prioritization and similar excuses.
This is the fall back position -- the second tier limited hang out. Pearl Harbor
"Bush Knew" and deliberately let it happen on purpose in order to galvanize a divided public to support world war, similar to President Roosevelt's decision not to defend against the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which provided the excuse to enter World War II.
The Project for a New American Century, a "neo-con" group whose members run the Bush regime, stated in September 2000 that a "new Pearl Harbor" would be needed for their geo-political goals. Since Richard Perle was a key part of the PNAC group, perhaps 9/11 could be called "Perle Harbor." A detailed review of the available evidence proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the kindest interpretation of the provable facts is that the Bush regime had foreknowledge and let it happen. Reichstag Fire
An "inside job" orchestrated by the government, similar to the burning of the Reichstag (German Parliament building) on February 27, 1933 by the Nazis, used as the excuse to "temporarily" suspend civil liberties.
This paradigm is harder to prove than the Pearl Harbor analogy, but a close examination of the physical evidence strongly suggests that the Bush regime was complicit in the attacks. It remains unknown what level of involvement the "hijackers" had, who they really were, and the precise degree of official complicity involved.

There is no credible evidence to suggest that 9/11 was an "intelligence failure." The real intelligence failure has been in the media (both corporate owned and foundation funded "alternative" media), which has not bothered to connect the dots of the evidence. The "Complete 9/11 Timeline," by the Center for Cooperative Research, has more than 1,000 mass media articles that show that 9/11 was not a "failure." The official 9/11 Commission which supposedly investigated the attacks failed to ask the most basic questions and ignored nearly all of the best evidence. It is merely further deception in the service of bigger budgets for Big Brother, and further evisceration of domestic freedoms with the excuse that we need to protect the "Homeland" from terrorists. While the "blowback" thesis is a tempting one to believe, given the intense anger that US policies have created in the Middle East over many decades, blowback is grossly inadequate to explain the actual events of 9/11. Blowback as the primary paradigm still assumes that 9/11 was a surprise attack. A precursor plot to 9/11, Operation Bojinka, was stopped in 1995 when terrorists in the Philippines were caught planning simultaneous hijackings of up to a dozen planes. Bojinka was probably merely blowback -- but whether it was more than this or not, it clearly shows that the US "intelligence community" knew about the threat of a 9/11 type event years before it happened. Warnings about 9/11 were received from at least 15 countries, some of them extremely specific. Stock trades betting that the value of United and American would decline were made the week before 9/11 (these trades are monitored in real time by the CIA). Several political, military and corporate leaders were privately warned not to fly or to get out of the way. The suppression of FBI investigations of the "terrorists" in the months before 9/11 (as several whistleblowers have testified to). Nearly all of this information is "hidden in plain sight" in the mass media, but journalists who dare to connect the dots get attacked by defenders of the surprise attack theory. These defenders of the official story include conservative Bush supporters, the Democratic Party leadership and liberal "alternative" media such as The Nation magazine and Democracy Now. It is extremely unlikely that "terrorists" would fly a plane in a 270 degree spiral around the Pentagon in order to hit the nearly empty, recently reconstructed and strengthened sector of the Pentagon, which minimized casualites. No one can explain how Osama took down World Trade Center Building 7, a 47 story steel skyscraper that fell straight down on 9/11 even though it was not hit by a plane or the collapsing towers. Video footage of the WTC 7 collapse strongly shows it was a controlled demolition. The anthrax attacks on the media and the Democratic leadership in the Senate (when Congress was considering the "Patriot Act") came from an Army laboratory, not Islamic terrorists.

Evidence that could be either in the "Pearl Harbor" or Reichstag Fire paradigm (or a mix of the two)

The non-response of the Air Force to the hijacked planes.

The arranging of multiple war games to paralyze the Air Force response.

These were events that could not have been arranged by crazed Arab fundamentalist hijackers -- they involved very senior officials of the Bush regime and top military officials. While is plausible that the parralysis of the Air Force defenses could have been arranged in order to ensure the success of the hijackers (and therefore, the pretext for the Oil Wars and Homeland Security), it is unreasonable to assume that these hijackers would have chosen (or been able) to aim for the nearly empty part of the Pentagon.

A hybrid scenario that fits the known evidence is "hijacking the hijackers." In this view, the hijackers were allowed to finish their preparations, board the planes, hijack the controls but then remote control technology was used to ensure that the planes not only completed their missions but also did not strike targets that would have caused even more damage. Flight 11, the first hijacked plane, flew over Indian Point nuclear power station, just north of New York City (an attack there would have been much, much worse than 9/11). And if Flight 77 had hit any other part of the Pentagon, thousands of people could have been killed. This hybrid scenario is speculative, but remote control flight technology is commercially available. One of the manufacturers of this equipment is System Planning corporation, whose former director, Dov Zakheim, was a signer of the "PNAC" report stating a New Pearl Harbor would enable their global domination goals. Mr Zakheim was Comptroller of the Pentagon from 2001 through early 2004 (in charge of the money).
