Why There Is a 9/11 Truth Movement
In the third year after 9/11, the U.S. government still has not answered the most important ques-
tions about what really happened. And the official 9/11 Commission has failed to ask.
Fighter planes were not dispatched in a timely manner to intercept the 9/11 flights - in blatant
violation of longstanding, standard operating procedures. Why? Why did the U.S. chain of
command (Bush, Rumsfeld, Gen. Myers) by their own admission remain inactive during the
actual attacks? On the morning of Sept. 11 itself, the U.S. military conducted scheduled
wargames to rehearse scenarios that included plane hijackings and an "errant aircraft" crashing
into a government building (AP, Aug. 2002). Even granted this was a coincidence: How can
high officials like Condoleeza Rice and Donald Rumsfeld get away with testifying that "no one
could have imagined" planes would be used as weapons against buildings? Why won't the gov-
ernment identify who made profits by short-selling the stock of United Airlines, American
Airlines and the WTC re-insurers in the week before the attacks? Where did the many known
advance warnings of the attacks originate? Were these warnings really missed?
The Kean Commission (the official 9/11 investigation currently making headlines) was called
to life only after Sept. 11th families lobbied stubbornly for 14 months. The same families have
now demanded the resignation of the Commission's executive director, Philip Zelikow, for his
evident conflicts of interest. Although Zelikow frames the Commission's agenda, he was on the
Bush 2000 transition team, worked closely with Condoleeza Rice under both Bushes, and co-
authored a book with Rice in 1999. Why hasn't this story made the headlines?
For millions of people around the world, the timing and convenience of 9/11 gave rise to dark
suspicions about the true origins of the attacks. These were fed by a level of government
stonewalling that can be described only as a cover-up.
The terror of September 11th, 2001 gave the holders of power in the U.S. a pretext to redefine
the world - to roll back the unalienable rights of American citizens - to shift trillions from but-
ter to guns - to launch a perpetual "war on terror" - and to go ahead with invasions of Iraq and
Afghanistan that had been planned years before 2001.
Now, in the third year after the crime, a 9/11 Truth movement has risen in the United States
and across the globe. It aims to take the dangerous ideological weapon of 9/11 out of the hands
of those who have abused it - and to open the door to the hidden truths of U.S. and world pol-
itics. For too long, we have allowed the government to operate in the shadows. What has it
been doing, in our name?
How can you rule yourself, when you don't know where you stand? Democracy is impossible
without an informed populace. The time for merely demanding disclosure about what really
happened on Sept. 11, 2001 has passed. The government has refused to provide answers and
engaged in a whitewash. Now it is up to the people take responsibility and face what really hap-
pened on September 11, 2001.
