While we completey agree with Mr. Paul Craig Roberts on most of his editorial ideas and comments, his fixation on "Building 7" that collapsed shortly after the World Trade Center twin towers came down, we believe, is a serious distraction that diverts critical attention away from where it belongs: that Cheney White House CHIEF OF STAFF I. Lewis Scooter Libby (and, concurrently, a "senior advisor" to then neophyte President George W. Bush... which is to say, Lewis and Cheney were effectively running the entire U.S. government, while President George W. Bush spent week after week on vacation... and when he was in attendance at White House meetings, he treated them as a joke, and had little interest in the arcana of policy details) and Bush's #2 at the War Department Paul Wolfowitz were actually MOSSAD VICEROYS in the American White House and Pentagon (respectively) - and that it was they who WET BLANKETED ANY AND ALL other government officials who TRIED to call attention to Al Qaeda terrorist potential in the long summer of 2001....
We don't give a damn about "building 7." The Ottoman Turks destroyed the massive fortress walls of Constantinople - the most massive fortress walls in history - with no more than primitive (if huge) iron cannons firing massive STONE cannon-balls. This was pure kinetic energy of the missiles (stone shot) impacting the fortress walls... and destroying them. The potential energy contained in the massive Twin Towers buildings - tons upon tons upon tons of concrete, steel, iron, elevators, desks, electrical grids,
(etc. etc. etc.) located hundreds of feet up in the air, were converted to kinetic energy as they fell, and transmitted FAR MORE destructive kinetic energy to the adjacent buildings, than all the kinetic energy of all the cannon shot fired by the Turks against Constantinople in the long siege - and those tons of potential energy, crashing to earth, were sufficient to destroy the foundations of any buildings close to them. .
And as to another "engineering" fantasy, PhDs in engineering maintaining that jet fuel fires could not possibly get hot enough to melt the structural steel that "should have," the engineers insist, held the Trade Towers up, even after each was impacted by a fully loaded jetliner - we say, "JET FUEL is HOT ENOUGH to run JET ENGINES - which are far too hot to use normal steel, only the highest temperature of titanium and other exotic alloys can be used in jet engines, because the operating temperatures are so high - even those exotic materials will MELT, if cooling holes in turbine fins are obstructed by coke (caked-on, burnt carbon from the jet combustion process).
EVERY "CONSPIRACY THEORIST" who insists on declaring that "planted explosives" (e.g. "thermite") were used in either the Twin Towers or in Building 7, DIVERTS ATTENTION from the far more obvious treason scandal: that "the Best and the Brightest," the "adults are back in charge" REPUBLICAN so-called "NATIONAL SECURITY EXPERTS"... did not do ONE GOD-DAMNED THING to prevent a WELL KNOWN Al QAEDA TERROR THREAT in the long summer of 2001....
Below: President Barack Obama's
TREASONOUS "of, by and for israel" "NEO-CONS" have INSTUTIONALIZED the grotesque ASSAULTS ON the late United States Constitution of
the Bush-Cheney-Wolfowitz-Perle-Feith-Libby-Bolten-Wurmser-Zackheim administration:
It Has Happened Here - [America HAS BECOME a GESTAPO POLICE DICTATORSHIP]
The Bush regime’s response to 9/11 and the Obama regime’s validation of this response have destroyed accountable democratic government in the United States. So much unaccountable power has been concentrated in the executive branch that the US Constitution is no longer an operable document.
Whether a person believes the official story of 9/11 which rests on unproven government assertions or believes the documented evidence provided by a large number of scientists, first responders, and structural engineers and architects, the result is the same. 9/11 was used to create an open-ended “war on terror” and a police state. It is extraordinary that so many Americans believe that “it can’t happen here” when it already has.
We have had a decade of highly visible evidence of the construction of a police state: the PATRIOT Act, illegal spying on Americans in violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the initiation of wars of aggression–war crimes under the Nuremberg Standard–based on intentional lies, the Justice Department’s concocted legal memos justifying the executive branch’s violation of domestic and international laws against torture, the indefinite detention of US citizens in violation of the constitutionally protected rights of habeas corpus and due process, the use of secret evidence and secret “expert witnesses” who cannot be cross-examined against defendants in trials, the creation of military tribunals in order to evade federal courts, secret legal memos giving the president authority to launch preemptive cyber attacks on any country without providing evidence that the country constitutes a threat, and the Obama regime’s murder of US citizens without evidence or due process.
As if this were not enough, the Obama regime now creates new presidential powers by crafting secret laws, refusing to disclose the legal reasoning on which the asserted power rests. In other words, laws now originate in secret executive branch memos and not in acts of Congress. Congress? We don’t need no stinking Congress.
Despite laws protecting whistleblowers and the media and the US Military Code which requires soldiers to report war crimes, whistleblowers such as CIA agent John Kiriakou, media such as Julian Assange, and soldiers such as Bradley Manning are persecuted and prosecuted for revealing US government crimes. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article33804.htm The criminals go free, and those who report the crimes are punished.
[President Barack Obama is IN BED with CRIMINALS and those who TERRORIZE Americans, and he is TERRORIZING Whistleblowers with effectively the threat of LIFETIME prison sentences in SOLITARY CONFINEMENT - the equivalent of MEDIEVAL DUNGEONS.]
The justification for the American police state is the “war on terror,” a hoax kept alive by the FBI’s “sting operations.” Normally speaking, a sting operation is when a policewoman poses as a prostitute in order to ensnare a “John,” or a police officer poses as a drug dealer or user in order to ensnare drug users or dealers. The FBI’s “sting operation” goes beyond these victimless crimes that fill up US prisons.
The FBI’s sting operations are different. They are just as victimless as no plot ever happens, but the FBI doesn’t pose as bomb makers for terrorists who have a plot but lack the weapon. Instead, the FBI has the plot and looks for a hapless or demented person or group, or for a Muslim enraged over the latest Washington insult to him and/or his religion. When the FBI locates its victim, its agents approach the selected perpetrator pretending to be Al-Qaeda or some such and ply the selected perpetrator with money, the promise of fame, or threats until the victim signs on to the FBI’s plot and is arrested....
