Posted: Sun May 20, 2007 12:22 am Post subject: Will those who believe in Hi-jackers please say why? |
|
|
I wrote this orginally as a discussion paper for the recent Leeds 911 weekend, and after talking with people I found no one to really stand up for the Hi-jacker story.
However there is nervousness by some that it might appear 'intolerant' to exclude people from the 911 TRUTH movement on the grounds that what they believe in is either untrue or clearly not substantiated (innocent until proven guilty) and mostly attested to by proven liars and moreover extremely damaging to Muslims in the UK and around the world (blood libel).
After all the 'hi-jacker' bit is hardly an insignificant add-on to the 'main' 911 story, it is the whole crux of it, designed in from the start and the hinge on which a Crusade on and against the Oil-lands would soon be swung.
So I do feel that it may be time to conclude that we have a reviewable and rebuttable presumption against the truth of the 911 hi-jackers story. So please, if you think you have clear evidence that there were any Arab hijackers on the day please let us know, fight your corner.
The truth matters, and it would matter a lot if we got this wrong or became unduly intolerant - as opposed to unduly tolerant at present?? (After all why - other than perhaps our imperial racism - is the proposed no-hijackers position more shocking to us/others than the idea that Islamic or merely Arab radicals actually flew planes and caused the deaths on 911?!)
[size=18]
Is the official story of 911 inherently a racist tale? [/size]
or
If there is no good evidence for the hi-jacker story, then is it racism which leads people to assume Muslim guilt, in which case please can we call a racist spade a racist spade?
The other day I was speaking with a comrade in the SWP and he said that instead of diverting energies into 911 we should concentrate on helping counter Islamophobia and racism. I answered that I felt that if the Left and StoptheWar want to be of maximum help to the Muslim and Asian/Arab etc communities in the UK or round the world, then set piece battles with the BNP were less relevant than researching and speaking the truth about 911 which would be the most 'upstream' and relevant form of anti-racist solidarity which they could offer. Several Muslims I know in Scotland certainly feel this.
Some of us can remember the furore when Enoch Powell told a story (which he couldn't corroborate when challenged) about some white family in Wolverhampton being persecuted by blacks pushing * through their letter box. My point here is that it was unconscious racism in many 'white' people (pink earthlings actually) which led them/us to give credence to this story and repeat it as gospel, even though there was no good evidence for it.
So my question is : in the absence - arguably {*} - and I do argue - of credible evidence ('Innocent until proven Muslim'?) about Arab/Muslim hijackers killing people on 911, isn't it time we 'called' time on the official story as the same sort of racist urban folk-myth? {* at any rate I think the onus is very much on those who believe in hijackers on the day to come up with credible evidence}.
Actually, 'racism' is quite a heavy charge the way the left throws it around at each other, and many others of us besides. So let me share my sense that almost of all us growing up in the belly of the Imperial Beast should assume
a) we have some racist assumptions knocking around, and
b) that we should try to become aware of these as an ongoing process of awakening to our common humanity, and that
c) a normal part of responsible mutual socio-political education is to question each other's assumptions as we all grow together as a society, which is not the same thing as 'othering' each other with sudden hatred for some 'politically-incorrect' remark or position.
I know we are a truth community and so in a sense it is inappropriate for me or any one else to try to 'dictate' a line we 'must' all follow. Please do read what follows in the light of this shared understanding. But now that there is a second website, www.911truthcampaign.net/, and a committee around the Campaign, we do now have spokespeople who do in practice and now in theory speak for something called 'the campaign' and so to that extent it is reasonable for us to discuss what they/we all should most usefully be emphasising from among the several 911 messages.
In this post I want to explore the politics of which 911 messages we highlight, and relate this to the relationship of the Campaign committee and the demand/project of an International Investigative Tribunal (IIT) vis a vis the rest of our diverse network and truth community. Here goes.
In my opinion the 911 plot goes back a long way, to the aftermath of the Gulf War when Bush 41 realised that it would be madness to occupy Iraq for lack of public support. There is a profound connection between the FBI assisted and ?CIA-egged-on attack on the WTC in Feb 1993 and the publication a few months later of Samuel Huntington's Clash of Civilizations argument in Foreign Affairs. From 1993 lots of other 'Islam is a big problem' articles began to appear in trend-setting Western journals, to be followed by suspiciously well-promoted novels. And of course we get a sequence of FFT events, including the development of the myth (and reality sometimes) of the suicide bomber.
Of course directly on the day of September 11th it was mostly 'Christians' [cultural/nominal or real] who perished (with many dead from other faiths too) but the immediate victims of big FFT events aren't necessarily the principal victims. FFT events are aimed at all civilians (on one level); and at civil society and democracy (at another level);, and - in the case of 911 it was aimed at Islam/Muslims at still another level, that is what it was for.
For this reason we non-Muslims should pay special attention to what Muslim scholars and activists have to say about 911 and the 'Clash of Civilisations'=Crusade that is the Great War on Terror/Long War. It isn't just about the numbers of Muslims worldwide and our mutual benefit from broadening coalitions, it is also that some people have had a long painful experience of certain methods. As one Palestinian said at our Scottish conference: 'we Palestianians are well acquainted with FFT ever since Abu Nidal and before, e.g. the Lavon scandal'.
As a general principle it is wise that we try to pay special attention to the oppressed not out of charitable pity, nor even solely out of solidarity, but also because they can often see things that people with closer links in with the culture of oppressors can't quite see or have the luxury of being able to keep forgetting.
Although many cries of 'political correctness gone mad' are in my eyes suspect, we should admit that (like those very cries) charges of racism or sexism or classism etc, have also at times been abused and overextended, and turned into a lazy all-purpose trump card for skilled guilt-trippers. Nevertheless I believe that understanding the dynamics of racism, sexism, classim etc are vital tools for liberation for all of us: 'Change happens when those who don't normally speak get listened to by those that don't normally listen' (John O'Neill), or 'Truth is in the eyes of the poor' (Brecht).
It seems to me that Muslims and too many nonMuslims keep taking a subtly different angle on 911 - but the latter aren't aware that this is even the case, let alone that this can cause (or fail to help allleviate) difficulties, even pain for our Muslim brothers and sisters. I recall one very eminent, well-placed and well informed Muslim activist left off working with us in no small part because most of us kept focussing on the bits of 911 of least relevance to Muslims, ignoring Jim Hoffman's demolition evidence on www.911research.wtc7.net and in our leaflets and interviews conceding the hijacker stuff by use of the word 'complicit'.
Alerted by the said very reasonable activist I was impressed by the strength of the demolition evidence and since then this is something which I have felt the need to keep going on about within our movement in 2004/05. I was even shocked on Sept 11 2006 to still hear one of our very esteemed spokespersons saying to the camera that the Bush regime was 'complict in 911'. (Was the Yorkshire Ripper 'complicit' in the murder of women?)
Back in 2004/05 some of us were pressing for us to have the confidence to push on through from Unanswered Questions and then Lihop (BushCo 'complicit') to Made It Happen On Purpose, but which I now see was merely Buildings Mihop.
Of course the transition by most of us to MIHOP is commonly assumed to have happened, and certainly the switch of our (primary) focus to the Triple Towers has represented a crucial advance IMO, but has it been fully accomplished yet? I recall that at the end of his great Physics lecture Prof Jones makes some remarks which show he still assumes the truth of the hijacker story! And even Willie Rodriguez thinks that he may have seen one of the 'hi-jackers' casing the North tower a few weeks earlier ??!?? - Assuming Willie's memory is accurate he should also remind journalists etc that maybe there were no Arab high-jackers, and that even if he did see one of the supposed high-jackers, then they could have been patsies told to go and hang around to pick up some drugs (though actually his handlers' true intention was getting people like Willie to remember him!) .
As I see it we make a mistake when we articulate MIHOP as Cheney/Kroll Associates/Guliani, etc orchestrated it' - which includes a strong focus on controlled demolition but somehow runs that alongside stuff about Cheney,etc 'allowing' and responding to and exploiting the vicious 'attack on America' (misleading New Pearl Harbour metaphor) by fanatical 'Islamic suicide terorists'. (Reichstag fire is a much better metaphor).
I prefer to think and speak out in 'full-MIHOP' terms and try to link 'Buildings Mihop' to 'Whole Scenario Mihop' - which includes the institutionally racist role of the corporate media from day one (relaying the boxcutter stories, then the phoney phonecalls; all the news media trying to commission 'pictures of Arabs rejoicing', some even recycling images from the intifada and passing them off as evidence of how much these Muslims/Arabs hate us all to celebrate the murder of 3000 innocent Americans, or 10,000 as the then estimates were).
To put it another way, to avoid colluding with Islamophobia - , we need to always make a point of linking INSIDE JOB (the neocon perpetrators engineered it all ) to FRAME UP (no-suicide hijackers on the day, surely, just a parade of Military-intelligence trained and CIA-linked patsies, who were probably killed some completely other way) - which is the link into War Pretext and Blood Libel, as well as a disguised Political Coup.
We are a wide truth community and loose network movement, only part of which comes into organised focus as the 911 Truth Campaign (Britain and Ireland) - and all credit to the office bearers who take responsibility for this side of our activities, and others of us who assit them. But after the inaugural 2005 gathering I had the impression and hope we were going to create a confederal co-ordinating council of regional and specialist functional representatives Now we seem to have taken a different path, in which the first part of our 911 truth community, network or 'alternative society' - apart from this website, to become organised is the 911 Truth Campaign, whose most special project is the project/demand for an Independent International Investigation.
However by its nature this project is all about reaching out to politicians, academics, media figures, organisations of responsible professionals such as lawyers or scientists, etc. 'Us in suits' we called it at one point. In this context the main message(s) will often tend to move back towards the centre ground ... Unanswered Questions plus Lihop at best, with no desire to 'alienate' supporters like Michael Meacher by asking them to disbelieve in an absolutely key ingredient of the whole 911 Myth (in a sociological sense) - the delineation and affirmation of Those Alien Bad People who Threaten Us Good People. (That is where the emotional sticking points seem to come for many people, which completely gets in the way of calmly investigating the physics of the buildings collapse.)
Please realise that I am NOT knocking the specific utilty, indeed great value, of the Tribunal project and anybody's stance of scepticism (so long as the latter isn't a cover for lack of courage to confront the truth so far as should be clear.). What does concern me is
if the rest of us feel we have to moderate our messages to fit in with Political-Establishment outreach priorities;
if nonMuslims feel it easier and comfier for them to stick with uncertainty (the experts disagree) about things we know fine well about (speed the towers fall at is known, so is height of towers, so are the laws of physics);
and if by halving and then halving the difference with the mainstream we revert to a discourse of not-knowing and 'complicity' which subtly sells out our Muslim brothers and sisters, who have the strongest interest in ensuring that the 911 movement as a whole keeping on pushing through to the demolition of the blood libel of the Islamic Suicide Hi-Jackers, for whose existence that day there is IMO mountains of bad evidence, and no good evidence, certainly no credible CCTV evidence, which I think is a dead give-away that it doesn't exist. (As per 7/7, Madrid and Diana/Dodi assassination.)
Some nonMuslims are blissfully unaware that some/many Muslims don't come to our meetings for fear of beng picked up for 'terrorism' and perhaps shipped off or incarcerated. For them 911 truth isn't an after work hobby, a facinating murder mystery or parlour game. Rather 911 truth is a vital lifeline and source of hope and an important part of good mental health and self-respect for their communities.
Two more examples of where we go wrong, IMO: For years we have been waiting for Michael Meacher to speak out, and have sometimes referred to him (and other Lihoppers) as being among the 'supporters' of the 911 truth movement. Well they may support an International Inquiry, but if they won't let go of hijacker mythology then what really is their relationship to the truth? Is truth just something one can leave waiting indefinitely for fear of ridicule, or jilt whenever we worry we may get a bit of heat from the snearers of the metropolitan press?
Although I salute Flamesong for initiative and execution, I was personally disappointed to receive his Sherlock Homes style flyers about a supposed Air Defense stand down. Not that that isn't, properly framed in a layered argument, a very cogent minor or initial doubt-sowing part of our case, but that we should NOT please please be arguing for it and or an International Tribunal etc in ways which basically drop Muslims in it (Blood Libel = collective guilt) by accepting the hijacker nonsense and actually represent a step backwards, which is where we will go if the (respectable) International Inquiry tail comes to wag our gloriously blunt 911 truth movement.
I know Flamesong feels hurt my my criticism of his wellmeant effort, but I hope he can forgive me if I have been too blunt (I genuinely tried to be gentle in saying why I couldn't give his leaflets out). Basically I don't believe a word the authorities told us about the times of the take-offs, hi-jacks, change of directions (two planes are supposed to have wandered off for hundreds of miles in the wrong direction), transponders off, and even hitting supposed destinations. I know that Flamesong was offering an 'imminent critique', pretending to take the authorities at their word the better to refute them, but most people reading his postcards will simply have had their (media-encouraged) belief in a key aspect of the official story reinforced, which is actually the key aspect from a political point of view, IMO.
Finally, let me deal with those who cite the huge mass of 'evidence' from the likes of Richard Clark, from the Able Danger whistle-blowers and investigations, etc - spook stuff i call it. Note firstly that Richard Clarke (a top anti-terrorism czar) doesn't tell the elementary truth about the demolition of the three (and more) Manhattan buildings, nor do the supposed 'whistle-blowers' - so why should we believe a word they tell us about 'intelligence failures' to stop Attah and co in time? Isn't that probably just legend reinforcement disinfo, whether consciously so (Clarke) or unawarely so?
Secondly it is a key aspect of the model of False Flag terrorism which Tarpley has advanced that FFT MIHOP has a Lihop dimension nested within it - as some of the honest law enforcement officers must be duped or moved off the case or their reports ignored, etc and thus prevented by in-the-know or semi-involved law officers from arresting the patsies before they have gotten themselves noticed enough prior to whatever atrocity they will then be blamed for.
As for the reports about plans to attack New York etc which many foreign intelligence services 'got wind of' and passed on to the CIA, NSA, etc this too is not necessarily proof of the truth of the 911 story, rather it could be the product of the spreading of information in certain 'radical Islamist circles' (Al-CIA-dah?) with a view to creating post-hoc plausibility for the Islamic hijacker legend. There is a mountain of spook-derived ambiguous evidence (actual future hi-jackers or loudmouth patsies?) but for me the clincher is to keep coming back to no CCTV footage of the men going through the relevant international airports that day, except the wrong airport (quite apart from the trifling difficulty of several of the miraculously listed 19 turning up alive, or have we all got that bit wrong?).
So what good evidence do we really have of the existence of murderous suicide hijackers on 911?
If none, we should as a campaign say so. Nothing would be of more relevance to building our global truth movement on anti-imperialist [/size]baselines.
Posted on May 20th; Depending on the outcome of this consultation and the evidence presented perhaps, I may or may not call a Poll around June 4th or so, to the effect that 'those representing the 911 truth campaign, or speaking in support of the 911 truth movement more generally, are hereby asked to stop giving validity to the Hi-jacker story, either explicitly or implicitly'. (Suggestions for exact wording of the question welcome. Of course anyone else can also post a question!)

Watcha Keith: interesting thoughts your having there
Here's how I see it: the only proof for the hijackers story is the scraps the PTB have fed to us. Some parts can be filtered out easily: DNA found in tower wreckage, passports fluttering down onto a NYC pavement etc. The lack of CCTV footage is very telling: as is the distance atta was supposed to cover from his hotel to the airport many miles away. Then theres the hijackers found alive off the FBI list, althought here the situation has got far more muddied
The problem is, when we move to a "no hijackers, pull the other one" position, we are then left with massive gaping holes that we simply cannot fill. What really hapened? Who was/was anyone on the plane? Who were they if not Al-CIA duh? Without that information all we can do is question the official story: we cannot present a credible alternate version of events, based on anything concrete that can be corroborated with evidence: at least thats my understanding at the moment
We also dont know what other information may be waiting in the wings for a reveal: whether real or fabricated, CCTV evidence could suddenly be forthcoming, for example
In addition, and understand i have no intention of giving offense here, the world is a big place. It is far from beyond credibility that a bucnh of patsies could be found who believed they were in Al-CIA-duh, who bought the line from the other end, never knowing that Al-CIA-duh and the Neocons were different manifestations of the same force manipulating the conflict into being. No better cover than to make it real in the minds of the patsies. Also, even if that was true, and a group could be assembled to baord the planes, they may have been boarding for an entirely seperate purpose, perhaps they thoguht they were hijacking, perhaps they thought they were traveling to a meeting, then knockout gas and remote control, or another of many possible permutations
Therefore, although I consider hijackers unproven, we have real problems refuting it and the info we need, unlike studying TV footage of the towers collapse and extrapolating, is buried behind "top secret" where we have no realistic chance of getting it, save a miracle "deep throat" or similar: and then how could the info be trusted?
On that basis, the only way forward I can see is to stand on the hijacker story being unproven with serious flaws in some of the evidence, and oppose the War on Terror on a joint christian/muslim (and others) spiritual and ethical unity platform. We shouldnt give up on proving what happened and exposing "who started it": but we should care even more about who finishes it, and how _________________ Free your Self and Free the World |

Also, not forgetting the rather belated release of flight manifests that did in fact include the alleged perps names, given in evidence at the Moussaoui trial. _________________ The Medium is the Massage - Marshall McLuhan. |

I agree there is no evidence that there were any highjackers. I have always believe the WTC planes were drones. The pentagon is a cruise missile and shanksville is just a hole in the ground.
The whole highjacker story is fiction.
The truth movement always appears frightened to come out and call a spade a spade.
There were no highjackings because there were no highjackers. No tickets, no boarding passes, no cctv, no plane wreckage, no bodies recovered, 9 of them still alive. _________________

To say that 9 hijackers are still alive is blatantly flawed.
When you consider that identity theft is as simple as setting up your hijacker to mimic someone with a similar face, then obtaining a passport in their name.
Identity theft removes the 'still alive' argument completely. |

So we can watch TV footage of the destruction of the towers and extrapolate from that and somehow still arrive at certainty, yet we can't watch TV footage of the alleged 'plane crash' and extrapolate from that and arrive at certainty. Funny, that.
Notice how it's never called a 'crash' as well, as that might point up what should have been but wasn't.
No hijackers, no planes. Proved by the absence of crash physics and the TV fakery. |

Has the expression 'TV Fakery' become synonymous with any video we suspect of being faked, or does it refer to only those with television/network origins?
It is used so frequently now I am unsure as to its usage. |

I approach the question of whether there were hijackers from this angle:
Were the towers a controlled demolition?
If the answer to this question is yes, then would the perpetrators of 9/11 - having rigged the Twin Towers with explosives - rely on their patsy hijackers to suceed in their mission of crashing the planes into the towers?
I doubt it.
So, I think if you believe that the Twin Towers were imploded, then it's difficult to believe in the hijacker jihadi sucide pilots story. That's not to say that there weren't Muslim patsies who boarded the planes / left a trail to be found after 9/11. _________________ "The rocket bombs which fell daily on London were probably fired by the Government of Oceania itself, 'just to keep people frightened'."

Are you suggesting that if there were no hijackers, the flights and passengers themselves were all fabricated? Surely the existence of these people can easily be reseached? This is where NPT gets very murky.
Or the planes existed, the passengers were all despatched in-flight and either replaced with other aircraft or remote flown into their respective targets?
Can you clarify? |

Hi Stelios
If you believe that drones were used, then you must also believe that the tv footage by CNN of the second hit was faked, because the plane in that footage is not a drone (it resembles some kind of passenger aircraft)
So do you believe the CNN footage is faked? |

The way I read this, Ian is not refereing to "No Planes Theory" at all, but to the possibility of the planes being remote controled (Global Hawk tech) to ensure the Planes hit the towers no matter what _________________ Free your Self and Free the World |

Hello sir,
the plane in the video looks like a cargo plane, there are no visible windows, however a drone means like an israeli drone plane meaning it is flown by remote control rather than an actual pilot in the cockpit
since the sixties recon planes have been flown by remote control
you can even fly an airbus by remote control too
and simply aim it for a homing beacon
when people think about suicidal highjackers they become emotional
but the cold hard fact that the plane could have been a cargo plane flown by remote control ie: a drone makes the crime alot more plausible _________________

Hi Tele
John White is pretty much spot on when he says I'm not refering to NPT. I teter between believing the planes were remote controlled (with the passengers and crew perhaps being incapacitated in some way) - most likely, and believing that they were switched for alternative planes a la Operations Northwoods - least likely.
I prefer to concentrate on the strong evidence (i.e. WTC7 and Twin Towers demolition) rather than speculation about 'hijackers'. _________________ "The rocket bombs which fell daily on London were probably fired by the Government of Oceania itself, 'just to keep people frightened'."

So just how did the passengers book themselves onto planes which were not scheduled to fly that day? |

Hi Stelios
If you believe that drones were used, then you must also believe that the tv footage by CNN of the second hit was faked, because the plane in that footage is not a drone (it resembles some kind of passenger aircraft)
So do you believe the CNN footage is faked? |
Hello sir,
the plane in the video looks like a cargo plane, there are no visible windows, however a drone means like an israeli drone plane meaning it is flown by remote control rather than an actual pilot in the cockpit
since the sixties recon planes have been flown by remote control
you can even fly an airbus by remote control too
and simply aim it for a homing beacon
when people think about suicidal highjackers they become emotional
but the cold hard fact that the plane could have been a cargo plane flown by remote control ie: a drone makes the crime alot more plausible |
Hi Stelios
Why would they use cargo planes?
Why not use the alleged planes?
What happened to the alleged planes?
Which airport(s) did the remote controlled planes fly from?
How could they be sure the airforce would not intercept them?
How could they be sure they would hit the target?
What evidence do you have for your theory?
What makes you so convinced your are right?
What happended to the alleged passengers and crew?
What if the alleged passengers and crew fought back and ruined the mission?
How did they know the planes would deny the laws of physics and enter the buildings?
How could they be sure the planes would not bounce of the buildings with the wreckage from the wrong planes to give the game away and scupper the OCT.
Quite a few things that could go wrong with your theory Stelios, surely the perps would choose the option with zero risk - NO PLANES |

The air force did not intercept them because DICK CHENEY gave an order to stand down.
It was said at different times the highjackers turned their transponders off so the planes disappeared from radar.
But the fact is it is impossible for the planes not to have been intercepted unless ordered not to at the highest level. _________________

Why would they use cargo planes?
they might use them because it was convenient
Why not use the alleged planes?
the alleged planes have not been delisted from the active licenced aircraft list so are aparantly still licenced to fly. There are also theories that those flights were not even scheduled for that day
What happened to the alleged planes?
They may be sitiing in a hangar or on a parking lot of second hand planes waiting for the next false flag oporation
Which airport(s) did the remote controlled planes fly from?
same airports
cargo lanes take off all the time
remember there is no cctv of any highjackers at the airports nor did they buy tickets or get boarding passes, how did they get boltcutters through the metal detectors?
The airport security by a strange coincidence is our freinds converse and verint
How could they be sure the airforce would not intercept them?
order to stand down
How could they be sure they would hit the target?
homing beacon possibly
What evidence do you have for your theory?
it is the easiest and most likely to happen
less complex than other theories
existing ready to use technology
What makes you so convinced your are right?
do you have an alternative suggestion?
i am not 100% sure ofcourse
What happended to the alleged passengers and crew?
they may have been dummy passengers as was planned in oporation northwoods
some were real ofcourse they may be in witness protection or they may be dead, but dont forget no bodies of plane victims were found anywhere
except their dna aparatly
What if the alleged passengers and crew fought back and ruined the mission?
cockpit doors are locked, when would a passenger realise the plane is ofcourse, if it was flown by remote control even if they broke into the cockpit they would hbe helpless
How did they know the planes would deny the laws of physics and enter the buildings?
holes were blown in the buildings miliseconds before the planes impact
the flashes are shown on most of the genuine videos mate _________________

We have a problem: Because I wanted to encourage researchers to come up with any evidence (if it exists) for hi-jakcers, I started this thread on the Articcles about 911 section. But I am equally concerned that this debate happens in the context of dealing with Islamophobia.
A lively discussion seems to have started, but the first respondents have been more interested in the 'pure' research aspects rather than the politics of racism question (if it applies). Hopefully other voices will join in.
First responders concentrated on discussing problems/details about what may have happened with the planes (drones, gas attack, flight management capture, plane substituion as per Northwoods, etc) - in which case some people feel it is a weakness that we can't explain 'what happened to the pasengers' [assuming there were any];
Or some think maybe there weren't any planes. This is my own fairly firm belief, arrived at only in the last few months based on
a) the physics of how soft aluminium wings can't slice through steel like a knife through butter, with no bits of the plane falling outside, and then the invincible plane suddenly vanishes due to supposed heat - but soon office workers appear looking out of the holes, which, according to one Austrian analysis are four floors adrift of where the video-planes are supposed to have impacted;
see
Gerald Holmgren
http://members.iinet.net.au/%7Eholmgren/manufactured.html
http://members.iinet.net.au/~holmgren/hiphop.html
and Morgan Reynolds
http://www.nomoregames.net/index.php?page=911&subpage1=we_have_holes
though the latter strangely leaves the door open to small plane theories, not realising that the laws of impact physics he cites against Big Boeings should still apply).
b) the videofakery arguments of Rosalee Grable (the webfairy)
http://thewebfairy.com/
and Leslie Raphael demolishing the Naudet film
www.spingola.com/jules_naudet.htm
and the precedent of video fakery in the JFK
coverup
http://www.assassinationscience.com/johncostella/jfk/intro
c) the known practice, cf Tavistock Sq on 7/7 2005 and Stockwell tube station on July 22, of positioning rehearsed actors to tell the media what they 'saw'.
The following article argues the politics of Why it really matters whether or not planes hit the WTC buildings.
http://members.iinet.net.au/~holmgren/matters.html
It starts with an imaginary conversation with a StoptheWar type, and it is quite simply brilliant, please do read it as it correctly identifies the Hijacker tale as the core of the 911 story, and shows how dropping it helps so many other complexities to either fall away of be more easily addressed.
However, whatever our individual views on No-planes, IMO we all need to unite to promote No-hijackers:
a) no proper evidence of hijackers, no reason to believe in them [of course this is a 'rebuttable presumption' - please come forward if you think you know of strong evidence];
b) to continue to assign Arab/Muslim guilt in the absence of proof is racist, particularly considering the racist and Islamophobic consequences of 911, and the record of lies and imperialist warmongering of the main proponents of the hi-jacker legend;
c) the 911 TRUTH movement has a duty to take this argument on board and carry it to the metropolitan left/liberals (whether blow-backers like StoptheWar or 'Islamo-fascism fearers like the Euston Manifesto people) who want to help poor Muslims resist 'downstream' racism ..... but won't go upstream to see where the Islamophobia is coming from in the 21st century, namely the 911 legend, in the service of world geo-political domination.
Here's a challenge to us all from Holmgren:
Quote: | Point two is the question of truth. This word is used ad-nauseam in relation to the debate over Sept 11. Crashing planes are at the core of the official story.
If you are saying that it doesn't matter whether or not the plane story is true, then you are saying that the truth doesn't matter.
If you believe that some other kind of agenda is more important than the truth, then say so up front and openly argue the philosophical position that truth does not matter. |
Many people's arguments boil down to saying: 'Let's not question too much, we could get serious hassles and media boycott.'
But a) if we have solidarity with the oppressed then we tend to get the hassles which they have already been getting for a long time. There is no way round this if we are serious about anti-racism and truth.
b) the media are already boycotting us anyway. They were centrally involved on day one!! As Holmgren says:
Quote: | If the media gets away with showing us a cartoon and passing it off as news in such brazen fashion, and then gets Govt patsies to take the fall, do you think they’ll only do it once ? And with continuing improvements in digital technology, the next one will be harder to pick if people have not been made aware that this sort of thing is happening
Also, this is strongly relevant to my previous point—that bad information leads to bad decisions. There is an obsession within the movement with trying to use the mainstream media as the vehicle to tell the so called -truth about the event.
If it were the case that the Govt had organized the whole thing, and that the media had been simply swept along by the tide, not knowing how to deal with the situation, and fallen into line because it simply didn’t have the courage or the knowledge to resist the situation, then exposure of the truth through the mainstream media might be a plausible aim.
But the knowledge that the media was a full and willing partner in organizing the entire deception, should make it obvious that disclosure of the full truth through that same media an absurd and impractical aim. If they allow limited amounts of truth to leak into the media, this is only because it is part of their plan to continue the deception and move it forward to the next chapter. |

My argument is that we shouldn't have a "there were hijackers" position, or a "there were no hijackers" position, because there is no proof for either scenario.
We should admit we don't know what happened when we don't. _________________

I dont see the anti muslim element here.
All of tony blair and george bus's policies over the last 30 years have been anti muslim and even anti religion in general.
what about the banning of crosses in cemetry headstones is that not anti religion?
what about the banning of crosses on BA flights.
What about the promotion of darwinism as fact to school kids is that not the brainwashing against all religions?
Why is a criminal specifically called a muslim? Like mohammed atta who 3 days before 911 was a guest on the yacht of jack abramoff a republican party fundraiser who is a close associate of bush. Atta was boozing, snorting cocaine and attending strip bars probably with the intention to procure SEX. What particularly identifies him as muslim? His memberships of the CIA?
Why are criminals of other backgrounds not seperately identified?
Like harold shipman the doctor who murdered many of his patients and embezzeled their money, why was he not described as a jew? Why is atta called a muslim and shipman not called a jew? Robert Maxwell, Conrad Black, etc _________________

Every one of my daughters has had religious studies as part of their school curriculum.
Again, another dichotomy in your flawed logic. |

Believe it or not, John, I wasn't aware that No-Planes stuff would get moved to a Controversial theories section!
Anyway, I have reposted the original post in the Campaigning section
http://www.nineeleven.co.uk/board/viewtopic.php?p=72603#72603
where all should please avoid the controversial details (including me) but instead we can there concentrate on the hijacker issue directly and the political issues for our campaign of taking a stance on that issue.
I hope this bifurcation of the discussion will suit everyone.
Many thanks,

I was not aware the topic was NPT
I understood it was the official 'highjacker' story and 'islamophobia' _________________
