9/11 Cover Up

Nothing screams “Guilty!” to me like a big, fat cover up.

Now, with 9/11, the coverup has been thorough and awesome.  From the very beginning, anybody who said that 9/11 was an inside job, that steel framed buildings just don’t fall straight down like

They said they needed a "Pearl Harbor style event."

that, at that speed, that building 7 hadn’t been hit by a plane, that there was zero photographic or material evidence of a plane hitting the Pentagon, that the PNAC charter pretty much threatened such a thing, and that the President’s younger brother, Marvin Bush, was head of security for the World Trade Center, were called traitors, and lunatics.

We spoke of ignored warnings, hastily removed evidence and the melting point of steel.  They said things like “Shut up! I’m from New York,” and “I know people who died, shut up.”  Apparently, they didn’t realize that these are not, in fact, arguments.

We spoke of Bush’s bizarre reaction, his going missing for two days, the swift flight of the Bin Laden’s out of the country.  They said “How can you say such things?” or “I just can’t believe the government would do such a thing,” or “That’s too big a conspiracy, too many people would have to be involved.”  That last one actually makes some sense, but I think it’s wrong.

My particular conspiracy theory would require less than 50 people.  Marvin Bush, Larry Silverstein and Dick Cheney at the head, a mechanic or two at United and American plus maybe an executive in each company to facilitate things, and about 30 super fit Blackwater types to plant the explosives on those weekends prior to 9/11 when the WTC was shut down, without any very good explanation.

But never mind that.  I’m talking about the cover up.  Recently, I tried to change my “micro-bio” over at Huffington Post, my usual news source.  The micro-bio is a one line blurb that goes under your name in the comments.  Some choose a favorite quote or some witty statement.  I put “9/11 WAS an inside job.”

I got a not back saying it did not meet their guidelines.  Well, I had a look at the guidelines and it’s true.  Not just in the micro-bio.  They ban comments arguing that 9/11 was an inside job.  That is an even worse argument than “I live in New York, you’re crazy shut up.”

I am more convinced than ever.
