In honour of those poor souls known as 'Coincidence Theorists' - who always love the official story of anything, especially when it means they don't have to get off the couch and do anything. Here's the 'Coincidence theorists Guide to 911'
AS REGARDS THE EVEN THE IDEA OF 911 BEING A DELIBERATE GOVERNMENT ACT: ITS JUST A COINCIDENCE That governments http://www.guardian.co.uk/Columnists/Column/0,5673,1019246,00.html
have permitted terrorist acts
http://www.redvoltaire.net/article694.html
against their own people, and have even themselves been perpetrators
http://english.terror99.ru/explosions/
in order to find strategic advantage, is quite likely true, but this is the United States we're talking about!
That intelligence agencies, financiers, terrorists and narco-criminals have a long history together is well established, but the Nugan Hand Bank,http://sunday.ninemsn.com.au/sunday/investigative/case1.asp BCCI,http://www.fas.org/irp/congress/1992_rpt/bcci/11intel.htm Banco Ambrosiano,http://www.deepblacklies.co.uk/operation_gladio.htm the P2 Lodge,http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Propaganda_Due the CIA/Mafia http://www.jfklancer.com/cuba/castroplots.html anti-Castro/Kennedy alliance, Iran/Contra http://www.madcowprod.com/mc5012004.html and the rest were a long time ago, so there’s no need to rehash all that. That was then, this is now!
That Jonathan Bush’s Riggs Bank http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Riggs_Bank_N.A. has been found guilty of laundering terrorist funds and fined a US-record $25 million must embarrass his nephew George, but it's still no justification for leaping to paranoid conclusions.
That George Bush's brother Marvin sat on the board of the Kuwaiti-owned company which provided electronic security http://www.commondreams.org/views03/0204-06.htm to the World Trade Centre, Dulles Airport and United Airlines means nothing more than you must admit those Bush boys have done alright for themselves.
That George Bush found success as a businessman only after the investment of Osama’s brother Salem and reputed al Qaeda financier Khalid bin Mahfouz is just one of those things - one of those crazy http://www.americanfreepress.net/10...orge_W__B/bush___bin_laden_-_george_w__b.html things.
That Osama bin Laden is known to have been an asset of US foreign policy in no way implies he still http://www.apfn.net/messageboard/01-11-04/discussion.cgi.28.html is.
That al Qaeda was active in the Balkan conflict, fighting on the same side as the US as recently as 1999, while the US protected http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/VIN204A.html its cells, is merely one of history's little aberrations.http://globalresearch.ca/articles/MNA110A.html
The claims of Michael Springman, http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=104&row=1 State Department veteran of the Jeddah visa bureau, that the CIA ran the office and issued visas to al Qaeda members http://sandiego.indymedia.org/en/2002/02/521.shtml so they could receive training in the United States, sound like the sour grapes of someone who was fired for making such wild accusations.
That one of George Bush's first acts as President, in January 2001, http://www.complete911timeline.org/ was to end the two-year deployment of attack submarines which were positioned within striking distance of al Qaeda's Afghanistan camps, even as the group's guilt for the Cole bombing was established, proves that a transition from one administration to the next is never an easy task.
That so many influential figures http://www.newamericancentury.org/ in and close to the Bush White House http://www.crisispapers.org/Editorials/PNAC-Primer.htm had expressed, just a year before the attacks, the need for a "new Pearl Harbor" http://pilger.carlton.com/print/124759 before their militarist ambitions http://www.newamericancentury.org/RebuildingAmericasDefenses.pdf could be fulfilled, demonstrates nothing more than the accidental virtue of being in the right place at the right time.
That the company PTECH, http://www.globalsecurity.org/org/news/2002/021208-secure01.htm founded by a Saudi financier placed on America’s Terrorist Watch List in October 2001, had access to the FAA’s entire computer system for two years before the 9/11 attack, means he must not have been such a threat after all.
That whistleblower Indira Singh http://www.madcowprod.com/mc4512004.html was told to keep her mouth shut and forget what she learned when she took her concerns about PTECH to her employers and federal authorities, suggests she lacked the big picture. And that the Chief Auditor for JP Morgan Chase told Singh repeatedly, as she answered questions about who supplied her with what information, that "that person should be killed," suggests he should take an anger management seminar.
That on May 8, 2001, http://www.cooperativeresearch.org/...imeline&timeperiod=2001 - 0:05am 11 Sept 2001 **** Cheney took upon himself the job of co-ordinating a response to domestic terror attacks even as he was crafting the administration’s energy policy which bore implications http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article4458.htm for America's military, circumventing the established infrastructure and ignoring the recommendations of the Hart-Rudman report, merely shows the VP to be someone who finds it hard to delegate.
That the standing order which covered the shooting down http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/d302515_021897/d302515p.pdf of hijacked aircraft was altered on June 1, 2001, taking discretion away from field commanders and placing it solely in the hands of the Secretary of Defense, is simply poor planning and unfortunate timing. Fortunately the error has been corrected, as the order was rescinded shortly after 9/11.
That in the weeks before 9/11, FBI agent Colleen Rowley http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101020603/memo.html found her investigation of Zacarias Moussaoui so perversely thwarted http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/MOO208B.html that her colleagues joked that bin Laden had a mole at the FBI, proves the stress-relieving virtue of humour in the workplace.
That Dave Frasca http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2003/02/43525.shtml of the FBI’s Radical Fundamentalist Unit received a promotion after quashing multiple, urgent requests for investigations into al Qaeda assets training at flight schools in the summer of 2001 does appear on the surface odd, but undoubtedly there's a good reason for it, quite possibly classified.
That FBI informant Randy Glass, http://innworldreport.net/video/2004-07-02/glass.html working an undercover sting, was told by Pakistani intelligence operatives that the World Trade Center towers were coming down, and that his repeated warnings which continued until weeks before the attacks, including the mention of planes used as weapons, were ignored by federal authorities, is simply one of the many "What Ifs" of that tragic day.
That over the summer of 2001 Washington received many urgent, senior-level warnings http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x1375723 from foreign intelligence agencies and governments - including those of Germany, France, Great Britain, Russia, Egypt, Israel, Morocco, Afghanistan and others - of impending terror attacks using hijacked aircraft and did nothing, demonstrates the pressing need for a new Intelligence Czar.
That John Ashcroft stopped flying commercial aircraft http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/07/26/national/main303601.shtml in July 2001 on account of security considerations had nothing to do with warnings regarding September 11, because he said so to the 9/11 Commission.
That former lead counsel for the House David Schippers http://infowars.com/transcript_schippers.html says he’d taken to John Ashcroft’s office specific warnings he’d learned from FBI agents in New York of an impending attack – even naming the proposed dates, names of the hijackers and the targets – and that the investigations had been stymied and the agents threatened, proves nothing but David Schipper’s pathetic need for attention.
That Garth Nicolson http://www.globalresearch.org/view_article.php?aid=670727528 received two warnings from contacts in the intelligence community and one from a North African head of state, which included specific site, date and source of the attacks, and passed the information to the Defense Department and the National Security Council to evidently no effect, clearly amounts to nothing, since virtually nobody has ever heard of him.
That in the months prior to September 11, self-described US intelligence operative Delmart Vreeland http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/index-vreeland.html sought, from a Toronto jail cell, to get US and Canadian authorities to heed his warning of his accidental discovery of impending catastrophic attacks is worthless, since Vreeland was a dubious character, http://www.guerrillanews.com/wildcard/vreeland_one notwithstanding the fact that many of his claims have since been proven true. http://www.thestar.ca/NASApp/cs/Con...&c=Article&cid=1070579408676 &tacodalogin=no
