Official story of 9/11 "almost entirely untrue"

Description:

As of the 9/11 Commission’s one of the primary authors report, John Farmer is proud of his and his colleagues’ work. Yet he came away from the experience convinced that there was a further story to be told, one he was uniquely qualified to write.

Now that story can be told. Tape recordings, transcripts, and contemporaneous records that had been classified have since been declassified, and the inspector general’s investigations of government conduct have been completed. Drawing on his knowledge of those sources, as well as his years as an attorney in public and private practice, Farmer reconstructs the truth of what happened on that fateful day and the disastrous circumstances that allowed it: the institutionalized disconnect between what those on the ground knew and what those in power did. He reveals — terrifyingly and illuminatingly — the key moments in the years, months, weeks, and days that preceded the attacks, then descends almost in real time through the attacks themselves, revealing them as they have never before been seen

Ultimately Farmer builds the inescapably convincing case that the official version not only is almost entirely untrue but serves to create a false impression of order and security. The ground truth that Farmer captures tells a very different story — a story that is doomed to be repeated unless the systemic failures he reveals are confronted and remedied.

Farmer himself states that "at some level of the government, at some point in time ... there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened."

Between this and Hamilton's "we were set up to fail" revelation, how could *anyone* still believe/defend the OCT?

8. "there was an agreement not to tell the truth"

People who think that is news are unaware of why the 9/11 Commission had been set up in the first place. Of course there was agreement not to tell the truth! The administration and many members of Congress knew after the attacks on 9/11 that the CIA working with agents at FBI Headquarters had intentionally allowed the attacks on 9/11 to take place. They had known about Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi for over 21 months prior to the attacks on 9/11 and had hidden this information from FBI Cole bombing criminal investigators, even when they knew that Mihdhar and Hazmi had been at a al Qaeda planning meeting in Kuala Lumpur in January 2000 planning the Cole bombing with Walid Bin Attash, aka Khallad, one of the masterminds of the Cole bombing.

But not only did they hide this information from the FBI criminal investigators, but when Mihdhar and Hazmi were found to be inside of the US on August 22, 2001, the CIA knew they here in order to take part in a massive al Qaeda attack that would kill thousands of Americans they continued to keep this information secret from the Cole investigators and FBI Agent Steve Bongardt. But when and this information accidentally went to Agent Steve Bongardt and the Cole investigators, on August 28, 2001, they then forced this investigation to be shut down , knowing full well that thousands of Americans were going to perish in the attacks.

This is the information that the administration and their Republican supporters in Congress did not want to get out to the Americans people after the attacks on 9/11. But today even people like John Farmer, who were part of the 9/11 Commission investigation, but who were not fully clued into this conspiracy, but clearly knew something was wrong with this investigation are speaking out about today.

The bizarre testimony by Tenet at the April 14, 2004 9/11 Commission hearings, “I did not tell the president in August 2001 when I knew a huge al Qaeda attacks was about to take place inside of the US that would kill thousands of Americans because the President was in Crawford and I, George Tenet, Director of the CIA, was in Washington DC”. When asked if he had used a telephone to call the president to urgently warn him and the rest of the United States of these huge attacks he said I had not called the President and could not go beyond this for an explanation.

So Farmers statement that "at some level of the government, at some point in time ... there was an agreement not to tell the truth about what happened" is completely consistent with the administration and others in Congress wanting to keep all of this a secret from the American people, and the families who lost relatives on 9/11, by providing a shame investigation to placate them. After all if the CIA was blamed for 9/11 then how could the administration use them to produce evidence of weapons of mass destruction out of thin air that anyone would find credible so they could start a war with Iraq

It is also clear that even main stream media went along with this farce. When Bill Harlow said right after Tenet’s testimony that Tenet had lied to the 9/11 Commission several times, and said Tenet had flown down to Crawford, on August 17, 2001 and again saw the President on August 30, 2001 in Washington DC they either did not report this or put this in small type at the back of their newspapers. But even Harlow and the main stream press left out Tenet’s trip to Crawford on August 24, 2001 when he knew that Moussaoui had been arrested because the FBI thought he was connected to al Qaeda and was learning to fly a 747 in order to attack the World Trade Center Towers with hijacked aircraft, and also knew on August 23, 2001 that Mihdhar and Hazmi were inside of the US preparing to take part in a huge al Qaeda attack the CIA knew would kill thousands of Americans. If Tenet had all of this information at the August 25, 2001, six hour meeting with the President, what did he tell the President of the United States at this point? We don’t know and again, why did the 9/11 Commission not uncover this information.

9. Interesting.

Government commissions rarely result in satisfactory conclusions for the majority of citizens.

the US governments web site for the evidence items that were entered into the trail of Moussaoui, that were obtained via subpoenas, and now are under US Federal court protection, insuring that the CIA would not be able to destroy these documents.
