Let’s End The Sacrifices

Just as a preface: many people have told me that the President of the United States would never sacrifice American lives in order to further his cause/agenda. History has proven this wrong. Bikini Atoll, where the government sacrificed the lives of the natives in nuclear experiments. Tuskeegee, where the government allowed African-Americans to contract syphilis, then withheld the cure. Reagan and his election team bartering a deal with Iran to keep their hostages until after Reagan got elected in exchange for weapons and money. And, mirroring modern times, the invention of a conflict to begin the Spanish-American war. Don’t think it can’t happen…it has.

Also, this is not an indictment of the CIA, FBI, or any other government agency. This is Bush/Cheney/et al. We’ve already determined, with the 9/11 commission, that we should have known about the attacks. This document is proof that we did know, and that the uppermost levels of our government either allowed it to happen, or made it happen. You decide.

Also, I’ve tried everything in my power to ensure that none of the items cited are inaccurate. I have cited everything where necessary; anything that is not documented should be considered general knowledge and can most easily be verified through the 9/11 Commission Report. However, you will notice that some of the most damaging pieces of information come from the mouth of Bush himself.


Sept 2000: A consulting group, The Project for the New American Century, submits a report to several defense contractors, most notably Halliburton and The Carlyle Group. In it, the group states that military spending will be curtailed without “some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbor.” <“Rebuilding America’s Defenses: Strategy, Forces and Resources[br />For a New Century”, The Project for the New American Century. September 2000] Remember this.

2000–2001: The military conducts exercises simulating hijacked airliners used as weapons to crash into targets causing mass casualties. One target is the WTC. Another is the Pentagon. <9/11 Commission report>

May 2001: “Though the Department of Defense had no capability in place to protect the Pentagon from an ersatz guided missile in the form of a hijacked 757 airliner, DoD medical personnel trained for exactly that scenario in May.” The tri-Service DiLorenzo Health Care Clinic and the Air Force Flight Medicine Clinic train inside the Pentagon this month “to fine-tune their emergency preparedness.”

July 2001: The G8 summit in Italy takes the unusual step of setting up surface-to-air missiles for security purposes. Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister explains that Italian intelligence had uncovered a plan to assassinate Bush during the event by crashing a hijacked commercial airliner into Air Force One or one of the buildings in use for the summit. <9/11 Commission report>

July 26, 2001: Attorney General Ashcroft stops flying commercial airlines due to a threat assessment. In May 2002, Ashcroft walks out of his office rather than answer questions about it.

Aug 2001: The World Trade Center begins a series of evacuation drills. According to Ben Fountain, who worked in the South Tower: “They knew this building was a target. Over the past few weeks we’d been evacuated a number of times, which is unusual.” <9/11 Commission report>

Aug 11, 2001: “US Navy Lt. Delmart “Mike” Vreeland, jailed in Toronto on fraud charges and claiming to be an officer in US Naval Intelligence, writes a note which may have contained details of the pending 9/11 attacks, and seals it an envelope which he gives to Canadian authorities. He claims to have been a courier delivering a sealed pouch, which he opened when its recipient failed to show up. The document he claims to have read, written in Russian, not only describes the attack but has the added comment: “Let one happen, stop the rest”. This incident is fraught with controversy, as are the accounts of who Vreeland is and what he has done in the past. Admittedly, this article is a bit questionable, but it does raise eyebrows.

Sept 3, 2001: “Author Salman Rushdie, the target of death threats from radical Muslims for years, is banned by US authorities from taking internal US flights. He says the FAA told his publisher the reason was because it had “intelligence of something about to happen.”

Sept 7, 2001: The State Department issues the following: “American citizens may be the target of a terrorist threat from extremist groups with links to Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda organization.”

Sept 7, 2001: George W. Bush schedules an appearance at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida.

Sept 7, 2001: Florida Governor Jeb Bush calls up the Florida National Guard to aid law enforcement and emergency-management personnel in the event of “civil disturbance.” He also cites their need due to “the potential massive damage to life and property that may result from an act of terrorism….”
(notice the timing of all the events on Sept 7…looks like somebody received confirmation of the attacks!))

Sept 10, 2001: “Newsweek has learned a group of top Pentagon officials suddenly canceled travel plans for the next morning, apparently because of security concerns."

Sept 10, 2001: “Eight hours prior to the attacks, San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown receives a warning from “my security people at the airport” advising him to be cautious in traveling. He was scheduled to fly to New York the next morning.”

Sept 10, 2001: George W. Bush flies into Florida, stays the night at the Colony Beach and Tennis Resort on Longboat Key, Florida. Surface-to-air missiles have been placed on the roof of the resort.

Events on Sept 11, 2001 (all times Eastern Standard Time):
Described as a bizarre coincidence, a US intelligence agency was all set for an exercise on Sept 11th at 9 AM in which an aircraft would crash into one of its buildings near Washington, DC.

8:46am: Flight 11 strikes the North Tower of the WTC

Between 8:46am and 8:55am: Bush watches, on television, the first plane hitting the North Tower. Bear in mind, there was NO footage of this crash until the next day, when a documentary film crew submitted their footage. Unless you consider the Israeli film crew found at 4:30pm…. Here are Bush’s own words: “I was sitting outside the classroom waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower - the TV was obviously on. And I used to fly, myself, and I said, well, there's one terrible pilot. I said, it must have been a horrible accident. But I was whisked off there, I didn't have much time to think about it." ” Could he have just misspoken? Here’s another interview a month later: “Well, I was sitting in a schoolhouse in Florida ... and my Chief of Staff – well, first of all, when we walked into the classroom, I had seen this plane fly into the first building. There was a TV set on. And you know, I thought it was pilot error and I was amazed that anybody could make such a terrible mistake. And something was wrong with the plane..." Curious as to what footage he saw? Keep reading.

8:55am: Bush enters Booker Elementary School

9:03am: Flight 175 strikes the South Tower of the WTC

9:16am: Bush finally leaves the school

9:41am: Flight 77 strikes the Pentagon

9:43am: Bush boards Air Force One

10:06am: Flight 94 goes down in Pennsylvania

11:45am: Air Force One lands…in Shreveport, LA and leaves again at 1:30pm

2:50pm: Air Force One lands again…in Omaha, NE.

4:30pm : “Five Israelis are arrested for “puzzling behavior” related to the WTC attacks. They are arrested around 4:30 P.M. after having filmed the burning WTC from the roof of their company's building near Liberty State Park, then shouting in what was interpreted as cries of joy and mockery. They were spotted by a neighbor who called the police and the FBI. The police tracked them down in a van with the words “Urban Moving Systems” written on the side. One man was found with $4,700 in cash hidden in his sock, another had two passports on him, and a box cutter was found in the van. Investigators say that “There are maps of the city in the car with certain places highlighted… It looked like they're hooked in with this. It looked like they knew what was going to happen.” One of these Israelis later says, “Our purpose was to document the event.” The FBI later concludes at least two are Mossad agents and that all were on a Mossad surveillance mission. The FBI interrogates them for weeks. They are held on immigration violation charges and released 71 days later.”

4:33pm: Air Force One takes off for Washington, DC

6:54pm: Bush finally arrives at the White House. Before going to sleep, Bush writes in his diary, “The Pearl Harbor of the 21st century took place today. ... We think it's Osama bin Laden.”

So you ask, “Why?” Why would Bush/Cheney allow this to happen? One reason: money. Some have said it’s to gain a leg up for reelection, but that argument doesn’t hold water; in the 20th century, war never assisted a president in staying in office. Franklin Roosevelt did manage to get reelected, but it was by the smallest margin of his career. So, we’re left with money. How much, you say? Estimates put Bush’s take (and Bush Sr.’s take) at several million dollars due to their ties to the Carlyle Group. Cheney, already receiving a huge annual payout of retirement benefits from Halliburton, also owns huge amounts of stock in the company.

So both stood to benefit significantly from 9/11 for simply…doing…nothing…when…attacked.

Except, of course, for hiding and watching one’s own back.

The current administration has sacrificed nearly 3000 lives on 9/11, and over 1000 in Iraq and Afghanistan. Isn’t it time we end the sacrifices?

Send this to everybody you know. Let’s find a way to end the sacrifice.
