This is a simple comment on the recent article about 9/11. That you failed to even mention the mysterious collapse of WTC building 7 at 5pm later on the same day is insult to the fairness of your reporting. That you failed to mention the numerous credible persons, such as those former members of the Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43 administrations, who have publicly stated doubts about the official story. That you failed to include reports of foreknowledge of this event, coming in the form of unusual stock trading and warnings by other governments. That you failed to mention the effective military stand down on 9/11, in the form of numerous 'war games', providing the opportunity for these airlines to fly unobstructed in areas that are normally well protected. That you failed to include the new interpretations of our history on Dec 7, 1941 - as a false flag attack used to induce the public into accepting that our country was at war, it's clear that your reporting on this issue is lame and transparently biased. Give it up. Grow a spine.

I'll tell what I think. I think you all know how close to the truth this large and growing movement is. I think you are worried that truth will be known by all.

In sadness, due to your utter complicity, MT

Give him a piece of your mind!

My reply to The Nation:

To The Nation, 12/09/06
I just read your article, " 9/11: The Roots of Paranoia". You are wrong in this piece. Your assertion about 9/11 truth being grounded in paranoia is without merit. Furthermore, this country is beginning to to wake up to the truth (which always comes out in the end). History ultimately will view The Nation, along with the rest of a cowardly mainstream US media, as having only contempt for truth and justice regarding the greatest crime in American history, for you are proponents of the coverup.

9/11 was an inside job, and you continue to perpetuate the lie that it wasn't. You should be ashamed of yourselves. There is a plethora of information that indicates the government’s story is untrue, but above it all, there are three smoking guns that prove this. If you were a credible news organization, one that operated with journalistic intergrity, you would investigate these.

Here are three 9/11 smoking guns that have never been refuted:

1.
The obvious controlled demolition of WTC7

The US Government is incriminated by its own facts—how ironic.
Summary:
News Tip: A real 9/11 smoking gun…that no one can debunk (these are facts, not theory).
Airplane “Impact” Times: Incriminating Evidence of 9/11 Coverup & Complicity

The official times for plane "impact" [precise to the second] as declared by the US Government, from both the 9/11 Commission and from NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), are different and yet both are true and accurate times. What can this factual contradiction mean? Looking exclusively at WTC1, there is found an indisputable causal link:

One World Trade, September 11, 2001
American Airlines Flight 11 “impact” time:
8:46:30 UTC, per LDEO seismic data (National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2005)
8:46:40 UTC, per FAA last primary radar contact (9/11 Commission Final Report, 2004)

Q- What caused the 8:46:30 seismic event that occurred 10 seconds before the actual air crash?
A- The only possibility is huge explosions, as corroborated by many witnesses at the time.
Q- Who caused these explosions before the plane hit?

Notes:
In 2004, the 9/11 Commission avoided addressing the earlier seismic time (which had been attributed in error by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University, originally in 2001 as plane “impact”).
In 2005, NIST avoided addressing the 9/11 Commission’s later time for the aircraft’s actual impact.
Both the 9/11 Commission and NIST avoided addressing the many witnesses who testified of explosions in the sub-basements before the plane crashed.

Summary:
This precision data has yet to be refuted. It is from the two highest governmental entities charged with looking into what happened on 9/11. Both declared these times as accurate, and in doing so corroborate William Rodriguez and the many witnesses the morning of 9/11 who experienced explosions in the sub-basements of WTC1 before American Airlines Flight 11 struck the building. This is indicting evidence of governmental coverup, and thus implication of complicity.

Before it is too late, demand a new 9/11 investigation, except this time a real one.

I mean, I would have expected it to come pancaking down, with steel beams flying hundreds of feet sideways and all the concrete being pulverized.

And hey, I thought no building in DC could be higher than the capitol--is this just outside of DC?

In all seriousness let's hope no one is seriously hurt or dead...

You misunderstand the significance of dressing up white settlers dressing up as Native Americans. It was not to hide their identities:

"Citizens of the new United States inaugurated the Republic by struggling over the meanings of the Revolution. Many saw it as a past event, successful and wholly complete. Others could not understand why they did not feel free. The former groups thought it necessary to contain any leftover rebellious impulses, while the latter concluded that still more rebellion might in fact be required. Post-Independence uprisings came quickly, and they often maintained revolu- tionary traditions of Indian disguise. In October 1791, for example, Hudson valley tenant farmers chased the Columbia County sheriff, Cornelius Hoge- boom, from a farm property being auctioned to pay rent that had fallen into arrears. A few days later, when Hogeboom made a second attempt to seize the land, "seventeen men painted and in Indian dress sallied forth from the barn, fired, and marched after them keeping up a constant firing." Sheriff Hogeboom assumed that the men only wished to frighten his party and so let one of the Indians ride up close. The masked man shot and killed him.

Rebellion and riot over rents and manorial holdings in the Hudson valley continued for the next fifty years, providing Cooper with literary grist for The Redskin.

The Revolution had been the work of both educated elites and the often riot- prone groups of sailors, workers, and small farmers who had borne much of the military burden. In the rebellion's aftermath, intellectual and economic leaders tended to move easily from philosophizing and merchandising to practical governing. Artisans, mechanics, and farmers found the shift from oppositional rebel to sacrificing citizen more difficult. They had fought and died for a free- dom largely defined by repetitive assertions that the British Empire had unfairly restricted their personal and societal liberty. Many had rallied around Tammany, using Indian costume to claim unconstrained freedom as an essential American quality, a customary right inherent in the land itself. In the Republic, however, the line between personal freedom and anarchy proved to be extremely fine. Lacking access to the corridors of nascent government power, many people continued to view attempts-like that of Cornelius Hogeboom-to organize society, generate revenue, and rearticulate pre- and post-Revolution property status as hostile encroachments on a personal freedom conceived to be almost boundless.

The Revolution itself gave playing Indian even greater evocative power, for now the practice turned on an established history. In addition to its connotations of aboriginal freedom, Indianness might also evoke the Boston Tea Party, the Philadelphia patriots, and wartime military celebrations. When they donned their costumes, the injins who shot the sheriff sought legitimation in the collec- tive memory of the Revolution while, at the same time, suggesting that the true revolution was yet to come."
