Near the end he says what I long ago assumed..

After the first hit... the show began.

He SHOWS that the vanity-fair transcripts leave us with the distinct conclusion that the planes started their erratic behaviour just after the first hit.

He smirkingly points out that this would be logical for the other hijackers.. but that they don't have CNN on board.

Chomsky on Iran

I know you all hate Chomsky.

But lets hear some facts from him.. he is good for that!

You are hearing the war-drums beating louder, Iran
and nuclear are the buzz-words.

Chomsky:

Let us begin with Iran. In 2003, Iran offered to negotiate all outstanding issues with the US, including nuclear issues and a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict. The offer was made by the moderate Khatami government, with the support of the hard-line "supreme leader" Ayatollah Khamenei. The Bush administration response was to censure the Swiss diplomat who brought the offer.

In June 2006, Khamenei issued an official declaration stating that Iran agrees with the Arab countries on the issue of Palestine, meaning that it accepts the 2002 Arab League call for full normalization of relations with Israel in a two-state settlement in accord with the international consensus. The timing suggests that this might have been a reprimand to his subordinate Ahmadenijad, whose inflammatory statements are given wide publicity in the West, unlike the far more important declaration by his superior Khamenei. Just a few days ago, former Iranian diplomat Saddagh Kharazzi "reaffirmed that Iran would back a two-state solution if the Palestinians accepted" (Financial Times, July 26, 2006). Of course, the PLO has officially backed a two-state solution for many years, and backed the 2002 Arab League proposal. Hamas has also indicated its willingness to negotiate a two-state settlement, as is surely well-known in Israel. Kharazzi is reported to be the author of the 2003 proposal of Khatami and Khamanei.

The US and Israel do not want to hear any of this. They prefer to hear that Iran "is sworn to the destruction of the Jewish state" (Jerusalem correspondent Charles Radin, Boston Globe, 2 August), the standard and more convenient story.

They also do not want to hear that Iran appears to be the only country to have accepted the proposal by IAEA director Mohammed ElBaradei that all weapons-usable fissile materials be placed under international control, a step towards a verifiable Fissile Materials Cutoff Treaty (FMCT), as mandated by the UN General Assembly in 1993. ElBaradei's proposal, if implemented, would not only end the Iranian nuclear crisis but would also deal with a vastly more serious crisis: the growing threat of nuclear war, which leads prominent strategic analysts to warn of "apocalypse soon" (Robert McNamara) if policies continue on their current course. The US strongly opposes a verifiable FMCT, but over US objections, the treaty came to a vote at the United Nations, where it passed 147-1, with two abstentions: Israel, which cannot oppose its patron, and more interestingly, Blair's Britain, which retains a degree of sovereignty. The British ambassador stated that Britain supports the treaty, but it "divides the international community" 147 to 1. These again are matters that are virtually suppressed outside of specialist circles, and are matters of literal survival of the species, extending far beyond Iran.

It is commonly said that the "international community" has called on Iran to abandon its legal right to enrich uranium. That is true, if we define the "international community" as Washington and whoever happens to go along with it. It is surely not true of the world. The non-aligned countries have forcefully endorsed Iran's "inalienable right" to enrich uranium. And, rather remarkably, in Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia, a majority of the population favor accepting a nuclear-armed Iran over any American military action, international polls reveal.

The non-aligned countries also called for a nuclear-free Middle East, a longstanding demand of the authentic international community, again blocked by the US and Israel. It should be recognized that the threat of Israeli nuclear weapons is taken very seriously in the world. As explained by the former Commander-in-Chief of the US Strategic Command, General Lee Butler, "it is dangerous in the extreme that in the cauldron of animosities that we call the Middle East, one nation has armed itself, ostensibly, with stockpiles of nuclear weapons, perhaps numbering in the hundreds, and that inspires other nations to do so." Israel is doing itself no favors if it ignores these concerns.

It is also of some interest that when Iran was ruled by the tryant installed by a US-UK military coup, the United States ­including Rumsfeld, Cheney, Kissinger, Wolfowitz and others -- strongly supported the Iranian nuclear programs they now condemn and helped provide Iran with the means to pursue them. These facts are surely not lost on the Iranians, just as they have not forgotten the very strong support of the US and its allies for Saddam Hussein during his murderous aggression, including help in developing the chemical weapons that helped kill hundreds of thousands of Iranians.

There is a great deal more to say, but it appears that the "Iranian threat" to which you refer can be approached by peaceful means, if the US and Israel would agree. We cannot know whether the Iranian proposals are serious, unless they are explored. The US-Israel refusal to explore them, and the silence of the US (and, to my knowledge, European) media, suggests that it is perhaps feared that they may be serious.

I should add that to the outside world, it sounds a bit odd, to put it mildly, for the US and Israel to be warning of the "Iranian threat" when they and they alone are issuing threats to launch an attack, threats that are immediate and credible, and in serious violation of international law; and are preparing very openly for such an attack. Whatever one thinks of Iran, no such charge can be made in their case. It is also apparent to the world, if not to the US and Israel, that Iran has not invaded any other countries, something that the US and Israel have done regularly.

personally, i dont hate

personally, i dont hate Chomsky, i just cant fully respect him anymore. his gatekeeping on JFK,MLK,RFK,Malcolm X and 9/11 are especially dissapointing considering how much sense he makes to me on most issues.

chomsky's bait

this is a good example of some prime chomsky bait. he is an expert at luring you in with this brilliant information. just ask him about the 9/11 truth movement and listen to his condescending and dismissive answers. expose him for the gatekeeper he is tonight at 8pm central/9pm eastern right here.

is the guy afraid to give

is the guy afraid to give his name?

I believe the structural engineer name is Charles Pagelow. (n/t)

"A patriot must be ready to defend his country against his government" - Edward Abbey

Charles N. Pegelow . . .

. . . who granted permission for me to share his resume with you. He is the real deal, very knowledgeable about these things, having spent much of his career dealing with oil rigs, which are steel structures frequently exposed to fire. We didn't talk about WTC-7 because I wanted to focus on the Twin Towers. But I plan to have him back for more.

Hate to break it to you but

Hate to break it to you but a degree in civil engineering and working on oil rigs is as akin to a structural engineer working on skyscrapers as an apple is to an automobile.

Interesting to see that he worked for a Halliburton owned subsidiary, though. Should ask him about that next time you have him on.

Hate to hand it to you but

... if you actually listen to what he has to say, you will discover that, unlike you, he knows what he is talking about. Strictly speaking, a street bum could come up with the right analysis of what happened at the WTC. You have to evaluate an argument on its own merits. Experts can be right. Experts can be wrong. Experts can disagree. When I read non-sense like this about his degrees, it infuriates me. The guy has vast experience in the field, which goes far beyond what anyone can learn in the classroom! Give it up! Cheap shots like this are unworthy of anyone who has a serious interest in 9/11 truth, which, I infer, is not your interest. This guy, unlike you, is the real deal! Got it?
Why don't you try coping with his arguments instead of making petty, insulting remarks?

Mr. Fetzer, i know

Mr. Fetzer, i know halliburton is a big company and all, but you probably should ask him about his time working with a halliburton subsidiary. it never hurts to be sure who your talking to.

On the contrary

I do know what I'm talking about and your guy said next to nothing. Mostly, it was you interrupting when it was obvious that he either didn't know what to say or he was going to say something that you didn't want people to hear.

His experience on oil rigs doesn't make him any more expert than I in assessing the truth. And it seems obvious to me that you are not looking for the truth.

Perhaps you know what you're

Perhaps you know what you're talking about, but you haven't shown any sign of it.

Charles Pegelow has structural design experience on steel structures going back to 1972, and has specific experience with the effects of fire on them. Your arrogant dismissal of his clearly relevant credentials shows how desperate and empty your arguments are. Actually, that is far too kind, you haven't made any arguments whatsoever, your contribution here has essentially consisted of sticking your fingers in your ears and going "Lalalalalalala!" because you refuse to believe the truth, no matter what.

Can you imagine your protests in court? "Your honor, the opposition's expert witness doesn't make him any more expert than I in assessing the truth."

> your guy said next to nothing

He said that steel structures do not undergo pancake collapse. From a structural engineer with over 30 years experience, I don't really need to hear much else. His discussion of how the beams were welded together (as opposed to just bolted) was also very interesting to me.

But we do

If we did not have the "Daniel Chapter 8" script to compare the the Bush 9/11 Daniel Chapter 8 Show with his cogent and relevant observations would be merely academic , but we do...

If we did not have both the Discovery Channel man on the street video with the accurate audible low frequency soundtrack of the nearly 30 pre-demolition blasts and photographic pre-collapse squib evidence, and the deliberately distorted and tampered with FOX man in the street video with the same exact amplitude distortions buried in its stupidly garbled soundtrack, his observations may be dismissed as merely a good guess, but we do...

If we did not have hundreds and hundreds of confirming, eye and ear withess accounts of these numerous other devastating explosions both before and after the planes hit , leading to the criminal false-flag CIA Pentagon planned demolitions while live victims inside the long cooled un-burning gaping impact zones were still waving for rescue it might be written off as engineering hubris to steadfastly defend the award winning designs of these towers which were the very pinnacle of American architectural achievment as such, - but we do...

it might be simply conservative to respect the observations that those towers which were the epitome of engineering science, technology and construction excellence, should have been immune from fatal harm by the mere crash of a plane little different than those of it's day which it was designed to easily and fully survive, but we do

If we did not know it was the Bush-Securacom 'security' crew who took over the main service elevators in both towers for a month and then pulled the bomb shiffing dogs out of the buildings a week before, and also, who arranged complete power/Air Conditioning shutdowns (static electricity danger) the weekend before while they were austensibly installing 'internet wiring" (lol) these things might seem like coincidences, but we do....

If we did not have pools of molten metal left at the crime scene still reacting at temperatures above 2600 degrees from thermate reactions weeks later you might think a few rivets popped - but we do...

If we did not have photographic evidence of deliberately slant-cut massive structural support beams, secondary explosions causing streams of molten steel to leak from floors far removed from any plausible airliner plastics and building furnishings fires, and aerosolized molten thermate steel globules everywhere in the dust and debris of the buildings and general vicinity to confirm the RDX/Thermate explanation as the only plausible and obvious one we may still doubt, but we do...

If we did not have ample evidence that Rudy Giuliani, darling authoritarian pseudo libertarian of the Republican/Democratic Yale Masonic Skull and Bones Anglican/Episcopal noble corpororate-Biblical-socialist Tory Fascisti and their evilly-allied co-enemies, the corporate-Quranic-socialists and corporate-Talmudic-socialists all had plenty of advance warnings and notices of the Al CIAda/Pentagon World Trade Center attacks , then maybe we would believe their collective Armageddon-Engineering propaganda - for we know them and these hateful prophecies about their evils all too well - but we do.

If we did not have ample evidence that these evil corporate war-dog profiteering mass murderers in control of this horribly evil and destructive "transnational-noble-vice" MI6-Al CIAda-Mossad death-bond mafia cabals, who worship the Satanic hateful corrupted chicken-scratchings of men (the Beast of so-called prophets) rather than the commandments both of their "cruel and selfish god" and the one most simple and perfect commandment of Our Savior for their roles in deliberately planning and engineering the election of a Woman to the Whitehouse so that they may launch a 'terrorist' nuclear suitcase bomb attack on Megiddo which will precipitate the ultimate pile-on global thermonuclear WWIII battle aginst Israel (to spare the oilfields they may retaliate against) just to prove to themselves who's 'satan' will save them. we may be fooled, --- but we do!

They have failed and are doomed, now lets just get on with obliterating them and their malicious dogmatic hatreds of themselves and one another forever

Today, "Christians" (Neo-Tory Conservatist corporate-religious-socialist Satanists) stand at the head of Germany' -Principle keynote of the acceptance speech of Chancellor Adolph Hitler.

NONE OF THE SHILLS THAT THEY

NONE OF THE SHILLS THAT THEY LET BE ON TV TALK ABOUT WTC 7----

that building was not part of their disinfo plans

they try to get people to downplay it, they might briefly mention it in passing to try to come off like they arent shills

Could somebody provide a

Could somebody provide a transcript or at least a name and credentials for the engineer?

Great article. It's a

Great article. It's a crying shame that people are so stupid that they don't bother reading the man they criticize so much.

BTW, Chomsky has repeatedly expressed his skepticism of the official story of Martin Luther King and Malcom X.

Yes -- he sucks on 911.

1st hr. with DRG

Anyone catch David's early comment about regular people who know the truth, however feel it's in the best interest of everyone to keep it concealed? He introduced a very strong point, but of course said that the consequences are far greater by ignoring the truth.

Damn! ..ed if you do, damned if you don't!

I caught that

And I know people like that, even my father, who's retired miilitary (Air Force). There are a lot more of those people than the 9/11 truth community I think wants to acknowledge.

And I do see their reasoning. This country is going to be over as we know it when 9/11 truth comes out. No trust, world wide, in any of our institutions, our government, etc. It won't be pretty at all. If people rightfully start to believe that the military industrial complex's 50+ year marriage with the government is going to take a severe hit, our economy will probably crash as well.

This argument doesn't hold water....

This idea that our economy will fail is, to a certain extent, what they want you to believe. It's part of the fear mechanism they use.

Please learn how to counter this argument, and how to build or re-build trust, by spending time over at http://www.solari.com/ and reading up on the papers by Catherine Austin Fitts.

"This country is going to be

"This country is going to be over as we know it when 9/11 truth comes out. "

Really? Can you give any example in history in, say, the last 200 years where a people had their basic trust in government upset, and THAT was the reason that the country fell apart?

Your fears seems not only ill-founded, but also nebulous. Will there be blood running in the streets, or will federal employees simply not go to work and the private sector will stop paying taxes to an illegitimate government?

I predict none of above will happen. My big fear is that Americans are so docile and deracinated that they will soldier on like so many sheep.

Some kind of substantive change is inevitable.

I do admit, that I too think this nation "as we know it", will either continue in retrograde (as it's doing now), or kick itself in the pants and pick up its slack.

The current status quo, is unsustainable. It does not matter whether a person feels 'just fine' with the way things are, vs. as for many others, unhappy with the machinations of this government. The growing parity between these two groups (30% and growing on one side, with 70% and falling for the other), in effect, demand that they face-off in one way or the other.

Yes, the choice will be between more blood, or less blood, but a "show-down" seems unavoidable. I don't think I'm talking about dooms-day or any such silliness... because history is replete with this kind of clash and lull.

America can not think of herself as somehow exempt.

Yes? No?

this is an interesting comment and an opinion that perhaps deserves more scrutiny in general amongst 911 truthers.

I think people have to understand the "the system" doesn't actually "work" at all. It's upside down, and will destroy us and our environment unless we change it. Therefore, although it may be painfull at first, virtually ANY change in the system is a welcome development, barring of, course, the kind of "change" the neocons have in mind.

oh I agree

Oh I agree that any change will be a welcome development, but many don't think like that, especially retirees. They aren't really looking for massive upheaval.

Unfortunately, the longer

Unfortunately, the longer the wait the worse the upheaval. People are living in a sort of fantasy land right now -- they don't understand that this paradigm is not sustainable. Elites DO understand this; the problem is that they've decided on a horribly bad solution - the only kind of "solution" available to them, which will actually make the problem much worse -- more power, more control.

We the People, need "the long view."

What you're discussing here, is also my pet project in the truth movement and I do so hope to contribute in this conversation.

I am working on an in-depth address to these excellent comments above, combined with a clarification and expansion of my only blog to-date. Please check there and feel free to comment on any aspect of the piece on "economy". More blogs to come soon.

The other part of my work, speaks directly to what, why and how to unlock the feed-back loop preventing people from having confidence that exposing the truth, will have more payback than blow-back.... in the long run.

It's that long-run aspect that America has lost most of her vision for. We will have to show her how dangerously short-sighted the U.S. Government has become.

"The truth shall make you free." Why not make the truth free? We live on a priceless blue pearl, awash in a universe of fire and ice. Cut the crap.

America as we know it

"This country is going to be over as we know it when 9/11 truth comes out."

I disagree. I think it will demonstrate the strength of this republic, that the PEOPLE ultimately forced the truth to be known, and took action.

That's what freedom and democracy is about.

No doubt the unheavel will be huge. But, if the PEOPLE succeed in exposing the truth behind 9/11 - it is a testament to America's strength, and demonstrate for the world that Americans believe in truth and social justice.

The Germans did nothing to stop Hitler.

We, at least, are a thriving movement that WILL ultimately succeed.

You could say that the proverbial horse is already out of the barn, on 9/11 Truth. The government's attempts to close the barn door is obviousy doomed to fail. It is only a matter of time now.

This COULD be America's finest moment - if our efforts truly result in justice for those responsible for this horrible crime.

The Long View:

I agree, Mr. Albanese:

Our task, in addition to apprehending the real perpetrators, will also be to offer viable, concrete AND acceptable visions of WHY we are so dogged about 9/11 truth.

Things in America will most surely change in deep and meaningful ways. It is our responsibility to consider those changes, and point out the long-view, that America (for all her faults) can only be strengthened and improved by such introspection and reinvention.

fuck 9/11

you fuckin jerks, sad dumb ass americans so frustrated by the sense of powerlessness in the face of corruption that all you have left is to push some cock and bull story about explosives downing the buildings (WTC 7 aside). How many years is now?? you will never get them on this, even if it is an inside job. Your leading experts on this subject include a mormon (Jones) who believes Jesus visited south america (he even wrote a paper on the subject) and a theologian (Griffin) who believes demonic forces are at work behind the scenes of all this (see his latest talk). Wake up. Pissing your energies away on this crap rather than taking the fight directly to an administration that is fucking your country backwards, about issues that really matter (corruption, cronyism, the corporate lobby, military corporatism, the Israeli lobby), is not clever. 9/11 this 9/11 that, blah blah blah, stand up and be counted dipshits, stop wasting your energy on this crap, do something politically constructive before it’s too late to do anything at all. If you don’t it is the end of America as we know it, what a shame. And Chomsky? a "gatekeeper" yeah right, read between the lines asshole, actually read some Chomsky, you might start appreciating how much he has done to wake Americans up, to the rot at the heart of it's political system. You think blabbing on about the NWO and Illuminati is doing something? You know who the crooks are, you can see them, why the need to entertain this crap about shadowy figures you can’t actually prove exist, the enemy is in front of you, fight it, or is throwing stones at shadows easier? Even if they do exist, try doing something about it, you can’t, that’s your frustration, you can’t fight an enemy you can’t see, so why not fight the one you that’s actually clearly visible? Maybe you like your SUV’s, Big Macs, and wide screen plasma TV’s, too much to risk loosing all that in a real struggle for freedom? 9/11 my ass.

yeah, because Chomsky has

yeah, because Chomsky has REALLY changed the world with his "blowback" bullshit right? wake up dumbass, even if you are a real progressive who is against this administration, you need to get your priorities straight.you act as if everyone here only cares about exposing 9/11, and nothing else. while that is the most important thing, i would guess that most people here care about many more issues than just 9/11. i dont know if you noticed, moron, but this is a 9/11 blog. how are those anti-war rallies going? stopping the war? no. so we could say the same thing about you and whatever your main issues are.all roads lead to 9/11, from domestic spying, to the fake "war on terror", to Iraq, to torture, to the deficit etc. Chomsky is a gatekeeper and so is anyone who makes excuses for him. he has done a lot of good work, but it hasnt changed this country ONE BIT. all he does is preach to the choir, the least he could do is preac hto that choir about the biggest crime of all. yet he doesnt. why? because hes a gatekeeper that likes to take your money. and you clearly fall for it. fool.

yada yada yada

not sure what anus youre eating out of but it certainly isn't doing your brain any good. All roads lead to 9/11?? duh, 9/11 wouldn't have happened if your country wasn't in a fucking coma, suddenly some of you have woken up and low and behold you start to see the wood for the trees, while spectators across the globe have been watching America fuck itself in the ass for years. If you are ignorant enough to ignore Chomsky's role in educating people, globally, not just in America, about American foreign policy and the role of military corporatism in American politcal affairs (not to mention it's geopolitical influence) my sympathy goes out to you.
Do you really have a fucking clue how America managed to arrive at a point where something like 9/11 could actualy happen,
irrespective of who's responsible?
And this gatekeeper crap is the most dumbass thing I've heard yet, did Alex Jones feed you that crap? Take a good look at Alex Jones for a minute, he's a fraud, a right wing nut job, a bible bashing bigot, or does that go for you also?

all i hear from you is

all i hear from you is "blowback", just like your cult leader Chomsky. i disagree, and am on record on this very website disagreeing with Alex Jones rightwing social views and crackpot theories on global warming etc., so you cant play that card with me "Anonymous" coward bitch.i respect Jones work, he doesnt usually focus on his social views as much as more important things like state sponsored terror etc.(something Chomsky likes to deny). you really believe that 19 men with box cutters did 9/11 all alone dont you? what a fool. you think your this intellectual Chomsky esque guy, your really just a coward going in a circle, chasing your tail like a fool. wake up dumbass. the massacre of East Timor and Chomskys other obbsessions are important,but not as important and pressing as exposing a government that kills its own and successfully covers it up(thanks to people like yourself and Chomsky).either join the fight, or shut the hell up and get out of the way. coward.

also, i meant to ask, where

also, i meant to ask, where are you from?

YEAH & FUCK YOU ASSWIPE!

I'll tell you how many years its been 5!! Yes 5 years. That means, in 5 years your FUCKING cunt face president cant catch a bearded man running with a walking stick. Thats if he did 911. Which I fucking doubt.

Dont fucking come here and shit all over the place asswipe when you aint done the research. I DARE ANYONE to do the research and STILL believe Bin Ladin did it. Thats fucking crazy to insinuate after studig the facts.

Terrorists did do 911, unfortunately they work at the whitehouse.

And yeah, fuck Bush and fuck the Illuminati.

DONT FUCKING GET ME GOING YOU FILTHY SMELLY TWAT!!

i haveposted this short version elseware and just got criticised by the desk jockies, I made a living with a tourch cutting steel apart then reinstalling it, i am a retired pipefitter. and i realy don't care what anyone says about the "colapse of 3 buildings inside there own footprint by being hit by 2 planes. first of all if you could colapse a building by seting a kerosine fire for an hour or so with a some small damage to one corner of the building those very expensive demo co. are a bunch of crooks. to get the building to fall on its self the heat would have to be adjusted for the damaged steel and then it would need to be so hot that it crumbles allowing the upper floors to pancake,picture the floors on fire ,[blach smoke means o2 starved] what moves the steel .walls. braces etc out of the way? now do this 2 more times, one without the plane hit.no one i know ,except the "true believers". that make there living rigging, welding, and cutting believes the 2 planes brought those building down. it realy is very obvious. THINK OF THE ODDS OF ACCIDENTIALY DROPPIG # BUILDINGS INSIDE THER OWN FOOTPRINT.even those of you who are more comfortable in virtual must see, this just could not happen.it is as wronge to us as 2+2= 476.i give up there is no hope where there is no commen sense
