Mahmoud “Blind Pig” Ahmedinajad

Ross Perot, who was the Ron Paul of 1992 (a crazy old man from Texas with a fanatical following and the initials RP who was running for president) once said “Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in awhile.”

That’s pretty much how I feel about Ahmedinajad’s speech to the U.N., in which he said that 9/11 was an inside job.  Mahmoud Ahmedinajad has said more wrong and crazy things than Michele Bachmann.  The last time he gave a speech in the U.S., he said there were no homosexuals in Iran.  He has said that the holocaust didn’t happen.  He is the spokesperson for one of the world’s most insanely repressive regimes.  But he’s right about 9/11.

There are a number of reasons I think so: the beyond coincidental involvement of Marvin Bush, Larry Silverstein’s big insurance payout, Building 7, the PNAC statement, physics, the strange coincidence of George Bush reading to schoolchildren at that moment (Really, how often did that happen?  If he’d been clearing brush on his ranch, I wouldn’t be suspicious at all), the quick hustling of the Bin Laden family out of the country, the crushing thoroughness of the cover-up, and my suspicion that government’s do this kind of thing all the time.

I don’t know if we’ll ever know the truth, but if you want to argue about it, there are a few arguments from the official version supporters which I’m no longer interested in hearing.

1.  You’re all nuts!  You probably believe in Bigfoot and Martians! (no, I don’t.  And you need to update your view of the cosmos.)

2.  I live in New York! I saw it! (So?)

3.  How could you say such a horrible thing?  I had friends who died! (I’m sorry for your loss.  Now, could we get back to the subject?)

4.  I just can’t believe our government would do such a thing! (Have you ever heard of the Gulf of Tonkin resolution?  The U.S.S. Liberty?  Medical experiments on unknowing subjects?  Whatever gave you the idea that our government doesn’t do terrible things?)

5.  All of the conspiracy theories have been debunked.  (No, they haven’t, and don’t bother linking to that Popular Mechanics article.  I’ve read it.  It’s embarrassingly bad, filled with straw man arguments and name calling.  It’s very short on mechanics.  And the 9/11 commission report was commissioned, let us not forget, by the Bush administration, who lied to us about plenty of other things.)

6.  How could something that big and complex be kept secret?  (It helps if Rupert Murdoch is part of the conspiracy)

7.  Look at the other conspiracy theorists – You’re agreeing with Ahmedinajad! (Like I said, even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while)

September 11th Quiz

Here’s a quick quiz for those who think that 9/11 couldn’t possibly have been an inside job.

1.  Who had a motive for destroying the World Trade Center?

a) Arab terrorists, because they hate America

b) Neocons, so they could pass the Patriot Act and invade Iraq

c) Larry Silverstein, owner of the World Trade Center, for the insurance

d) All of the above

(correct answer is d, all of the above)

2.  Who was the director of security for the World Trade Center up until shortly before the attack?

a) Marvin Bush, George Bush’s little brother

(the correct answer is a)

3.  How many Bush administration officials testified in public and under oath before the 9/11 commission?

a)  All of them, Katie

b) 47

c) 13

d) 0

(the correct answer is d)

4.  How much did Larry Silverstein collect in insurance after the attacks?

a) 100 million dollars

b) 500 million dollars

c) a billion dollars

d) 10 billion dollars

(the correct answer is d, and the insurance company paid up without any questions.  How often does that happen, eh?)

5. Who arranged the evacuation of Osama Bin Laden’s relatives from the United States shortly after the attacks while all other aircraft were grounded, and in total contradiction to FBI standard procedure which is to interview families of suspects first, as you should know from watching any cop show on TV?

9.  What was President Bush doing at the time of the attacks?

a) playing golf

b) riding his bicycle

(d, of course.  You knew that one)

10. Would our government lie to us about such a thing?

a) Sure, happens all the time

b) Never in a million years

(the correct answer is a.  Does the Gulf of Tonkin incident ring a bell?)

No, I am not Looking for a God Damned Security Blanket

I hate to sound like a one trick pony, a one note trumpet, a single issue politician,  but I also don’t like being called crazy.

Over on the Huffington Puffball there is a particularly condescending article about

Building owner Larry Silverstein got $10 billion in the insurance settlement

9/11 conspiracy theories.  First, the title of the article is: From JFK to 9/11 Conspiracy Theories Thrive.

Admittedly, I think that both of these events were inside jobs, involving highly placed people in the U.S. government (LBJ, for example), but they are very different events and deserve to be treated separately.

Then, they have this little gem: Conspiracies can be a “security blanket” for explaining away the horrific, asserts Patrick Leman, a University of London professor who researches 9/11 theories. “It stops us from having to confront the unpredictability of life.”  First, if you just replace the word “conspiracies” with “official explanations” you have a true statement.  Secondly, he’s saying we are delusional.  We are not delusional.

Their arguments are evolving, albeit slowly and not in a constructive direction.  At first, when we talked about the impossibility of steel framed buildings collapsing straight down at near freefall speed, they just shouted “You’re nuts!”  and called us heartless and un-American.  When we talked about building 7 they said “I bet you believe in Bigfoot, too, har, har.  When we pointed out that the head of security for the World Trade Center was Marvin Bush, they said “You’re paranoid” and “I just can’t believe our government would do something like that,” totally ignoring the fact that our government has done similar things in the past (Gulf of Tonkin, attack on the USS Liberty, using the accidental sinking of the battleship Maine to start the Spanish-American war).  When we pointed out that in the founding statement of the Project for a New American Century (PNAC), signed by Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and many other prominent neo-cons, it was written “a Pearl Harbor style event would be required to fully  implement our agenda” they said it would be impossible to have a conspiracy  that size.  (No, it wouldn’t)

So now, they still say  that we’re nuts, but they say it in a politer way.  There is one other argument they are using more and more, I found a few of them in the comments section below the article, and it is a very disturbing argument indeed.  “It doesn’t matter any more.  We can never prove anything so just let it go.  Move on.”

In other words, forget 9/11.

It’s not going to happen.  I think that a conspiracy of highly placed people which included Vice President Cheney, presidential brother Marvin Bush (and maybe Jeb but definitely not George because why tell the dumb guy), and building owner Larry  Silverstein, as well as possibly Rumsfeld and Rove, arranged for explosives to be planted in WTC 1, WTC 2 and WTC 7.  The airplanes were just for show.

I’m not crazy and I’m not going to shut up.

Why I Think 9/11 Was an Inside Job

The 10th anniversary of 9/11 is about a month and a half away.  I am not looking forward to it.  Every news outlet will focus on that for a day, just like Mother’s Day or the 4th of July.  Lots of people will write articles about how shocked/surprised/horrified they were.  The number of

Damn, I hate school

people who will talk about witnessing the event firsthand will far exceed the population of New York City.  And  the footage of the planes hitting the towers, and towers 1 and 2 falling to the ground, will be played over and over and over again.  I predict that the number of times that is shown will outnumber the times footage of building 7 will be shown by about 1,000 to 1.  Just like on the day.

Most people have never even heard of building 7.  The powers that be would like it to stay that way.  (Building 7, by the way, is the building which fell down, without being hit by any airplane, several hours after the collapse of the twin towers.  It did not have the same design or structure as the twin towers, yet it fell straight down just the same)

I’m sure I will be writing a lot more about 9/11 in the coming month and a half because the whole thing really pisses me off.  For instance, today over at the Puff Piece Post, there’s an article about an interview with Voldemort  George W. Bush about what he was thinking when he was sitting there with that blank, stupid look on his face in the classroom.  He said he was trying to “project an air of calm.”

Rubbish. He sat there with a blank face because he didn’t have a clue what he was supposed to do. Also, it was a school.  He was probably waiting for orders from the teacher.

I don’t actually believe he knew about the attack in advance -why tell the stupid guy?  I’m guessing the conversation went something like this:

ring ring, ring ring
“Hello, Governor Bush speaking”

“Hi, Jeb, it’s Dick”

“Well, hello, Mr. Cheney.  What can I do for you?”

“We need a nice little photo-op for your brother next Tuesday, about a quarter to nine in the morning.”

“C’mon, Dick, have you ever tried to get George up that early?”

“It’s important.”

“That’s the big day, huh?”

“Cool it, not on the phone”

“Yeah, sure.  O.K., I can set it up for him to visit an elementary school, how’s that?”

“That’ll be great.  Thanks a million.”

“My pleasure.”

Think about it.  During the biggest terrorist attack ever,  Captain McCodpiece was not on the golf course, biking, choking on a pretzel, on his ranch clearing brush or any of those other activities which occupied the vast majority of his presidency.  He was reading to a bunch of kids.
That’s the part that makes me think the whole thing was premeditat­ed and carried out by elements of the U.S. government­. Seriously, what are the odds?

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.
