Description	A complex and spectacular set of events in New York and Washington. The US government was quick to blame Al Qaeda, though no evidence of guilt was presented and there is much suspicion about what Al Qaeda really is. In the USA 9-11 assisted the Patriot Act's roll back of civil liberties, the stepping up of domestic surveillance and the financial advancement of the military industrial complex. Abroad 9-11 helped launched wars on Iraq and Afghanistan that had been planned long before.

The Attacks of 11 September 2001 (referred to as 9/11, although termed 9-11 on this website) were a structural deep event. They were quickly followed by the Amerithrax plots (US anthrax was sent to the US politicians who were opposing the introduction of "counter-terrorism" legislation) and the (nearly memory holed) Mexican legislative assembly attack. The Commercially-controlled media supported the US government's claim that the events were a surprise attack by 19 hijackers. While initially most had a blind faith in this story, by 2016 the majority of the US population believed that the US government was concealing what they know about the event.

Official Narrative

Full article: 9-11/Official narrative

The "19 men with boxcutters" official narrative was promoted aggressively from the day itself, and although a few people pronounced themselves doubtful from day one, it was widely believed amongst the majority of the public for some years. However, it is increasingly understood to be no more than a convenient cover story that has worn very thin. Almost everyone is agreed on the lack of integrity of the officials who came up with the official story, and a 2015 survey revealed support for a review amongst the Canadian population, something which the government failed to respect, trotting out the familiar platitude about "conspiracy theories".

Challenges

The US government's official narrative has been denounced in the UN, the EU parliament and in many national parliaments including Belgium, Italy, Japan and Iran. Francesco Cossiga, former Italian President, stated in 2008 in Italy’s most widely read newspaper that 9/11 was carried out by the CIA and the Mossad.

Mark Gorton terms Kevin Ryan's Another Nineteen: Investigating Legitimate 9/11 Suspects "the best book I have yet read on the topic of 9/11".

Problems

Compare the volumes of jetfuel and the concrete/steel structure from WTC1 & 2 which its combustion supposedly pulverized and by official figures, heated to more than 1376°F / 746°C; other measurements go as high as 2,800°F / 1537°C. See WTC Controlled demolition.

Legions of insiders (some victims of premature deaths) have testified that the official story didn't fit their experiences of that day. A mound of factual evidence has been produced, and published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, pointing to highly improbable accidents and glaring anomalies about the official story. The US government has frequently cited "national security" to try to obscure the conduct of key officials on that day, and the commercially-controlled media has been almost completely censored of articles questioning the official narrative.

Drills

Full article: 9-11/Drills

A quite unprecedented number of drills were scheduled on or about the day of 9/11, and on or about the topic of Ossama Bin-Laden hijacking planes and flying them into buildings. Of these, perhaps the most important were those by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). These moved the majority of the US fighter jets so far from the Northeast Air Defense Sector that they could not reach New York or Washington in time. Moreover, they used "live injects" i.e. inserted fake blips onto the air traffic control which confused the operators who could not tell the exercise from the real events of that day.

Air defence failure

Full article: 9-11/Air Defence

The drills described above contributed in part to the failure of the US air defence on 9/11. However, multiple other factors also played a part (which are also unexplained by the 9/11 Commission's report. One was the change on June 1, 2001 of the procedure for dealing with hijackings, which clarified that the Secretary of Defense much be contacted before shooting down a plane (allowing Dick Cheney to effectively order a stand down simply by making himself unavailable). Another contributing factor was the fact that key personnel had just been changed and/or unavailable on the day.

Purposes

Full article: 9-11/Purposes

The 9/11 event served a variety of purposes, including domestic repression and facilitating resource wars in the Iraq and Afghanistan. Hiruyoki Hamada termed it "the go-to justification for colonialism, corporatism and militarism for the empire." The term "inside job" was widely used, but although US government insiders were undoubtedly involved in its commission, this phrase obscures the major role played by Israelis.

Cover-up

Full article: 9-11/Cover-up

The cover-up of the events of that day was a larger job than organising the events themselves, and required collaboration from many groups both in and outside the US.

Ground Zero

Kurt Sonnenfeld was one of only 4 FEMA videographers allowed to take footage of ground zero. He reported that “immediately after the attacks on the World Trade Center, the entire area in lower Manhattan was sealed off to the public and to the news media. All cameras were prohibited inside the secured perimeter and any “unauthorized” cameras were immediately confiscated.”

Official Inquiries

Full articles: 9-11/Joint Congressional Inquiry, 9-11/Commission

There have been two US government inquiries. The first, begun in February 2002, by its own admission not in "the blame game about what went wrong from an intelligence perspective" produced a report from which 28 pages were completely censored until partially redacted copies were released in July 2016. The second, the "9/11 Commission" was termed a "cover-up" even by one of its members.

Media Response

Full article: 9-11/Media response

With only occasional slip ups, the Western commercially-controlled media has been almost uniformly supine in refusing to report any information which challenges the US government's 9-11/Official narrative. Exceptions include Corriere della Sera, which published a story in November 2007 by former Italian Prime Minister Francesco Cossiga, who wrote that it was widely known that 9/11 had been engineered by the CIA and the Mossad with the "help of the Zionist world".

Compensation fund

Full article: 9-11/Compensation fund

The 9-11 Compensation fund paid the 97% of victims relatives. A condition of their accepting money was that they would not take legal action about 9-11.

Exposure

Full article: 9-11/Exposure

Only a few observers detected holes in the US government's official story of 9-11 on the day itself. However, as 9-11 whistleblowers emerged and evidence began to accumulate that contradicted the 9-11 Official narrative, ever more people, both in and outside the US see that 9-11 is not as it was presented on the day by the commercially-controlled media. The internet, by providing a platform on which to discuss the events, greatly assisted the 9-11/Truth movement.

Truth movement

Full article: 9-11/Truth movement

Many people worldwide have sought the truth about the events of 9/11, and declared themselves unsatisfied by the US government's claim of the "19 guys with boxcutters". These people make up the grassroots movement known as the 9-11 Truth movement. Many see the failure of the official narrative to explain (or for many years, even to mention) the extraordinary collapse of WTC7 as their most effective means to encourage others to realise that they have been the victim of a big lie.

Insider Trading

Full article: 9-11/Insider Trading

9/11 included a massive financial fraud. The insider trading on that day was relative tiny, but still indicative — as was the fact that the SEC covered it up, and then ordered their records of the investigation destroyed.

Response

George W. Bush is informed by a Secret Service handler of the plane that hit the WTC tower on 9/11. He continues reading the story about a goat to the class. Youtube video archived.

George W. Bush had no personal response to being informed about the attacks, something which was not reported upon at the time, and only emerged years(?) later. His failure to act contrasts with a slick machine which went into action (for example issuing the Patriot Act) by the deep politicians who had prepared the 9/11 event. While an obvious windfall for "security" contractors, 9/11 was exploited by the US Deep state to profit both at home and abroad. Dick Cheney used informal CIA contacts to organise a hit squad and "expressly ordered the agency not to disclose the programme even to congressional overseers with top security clearances, as required by law". It is unknown whether this was connected to the 9/11 Premature deaths. When CIA director Leon Panetta discovered this group, he ordered it to be halted.

Political exploitation

At home, the event was used to launch the permanent state of emergency termed the "Global War on Terrorism" (GWOT), under which banner a number of new laws have been introduced, and older ones have been rewritten. The Patriot Act and associated laws removed age old prohibitions of torture, murder, and indefinite detention. Lavish funding was announced for new institutions such as the TSA and the DOHS where quickly unleashed on the US citizenry. Familiar institutions began to engage in mass surveillance. Global Research talks of "The derogation of civil liberties and the installation of an Orwellian police state apparatus within Western countries."

Abroad, the event was used as a casus belli for the resource wars, including invasions of first Afghanistan and then Iraq, although in 2016 Iran was found legally responsible by US courts. In 2016, increased talk of "the 28 pages", suggesting that the event might be used as a leverage over the government of Saudi Arabia.

The controlled media was quick to call the 9-11 attacks "an act of war", a decision which effectively precluded a Peter Dale Scott writes that "Starting in 2001, both law and freedom have been progressively eroded. International comity, which depends on each state not doing to others what they would not want done to them, has been supplanted, at least for a while, by U.S. unilateral military engagement without constraint, acting without fear of retribution. Drone killings in far corners of the world have now become routine, causing more than an estimated 2000 Pakistani deaths, the vast majority of them untargeted civilians, and over 75 percent of them under President Obama. The preemptive war against Iraq, despite being proven both unwarranted and counterproductive, has been followed by the preemptive bombing of Libya, and the prospect of still further campaigns against Syria and Iran... 9/11 itself should be seen as a dialectical outcome of America’s imperial expansion and simultaneous decay — a process inevitably afflicting those superstates that amass and retain more power than is necessary for the orderly management of their own affairs." criminal investigation from being carried out.

Legal action

Full article: 9-11/Legal action

Multiple contradictory rulings have been issued about the events of 9-11, most notably by U.S. District Judge George Daniels. In 2011 he blamed Iran, the Taliban and al Qaeda for the attacks, and demanded that Iran pay over $10 billion. In 2015 he ruled that Saudi Arabia had "sovereign immunity" from prosecution, but he reversed this judgment in March 2018. In July 2017 a Lawyers Committee for 911 Inquiry was formed.^{[By whom?]}

Perpetrators

There is a huge amount of evidence that the US defences were stymied with complicity of a small number of senior figures in the US government, implicating the US Deep state in the attack. Their support for the attacks is found in the fact that the events were covered up rather than investigated. Researchers differ on whether the cabal let it happen on purpose (LIHOP) or whether they made it happen on purpose (MIHOP). Mark Gorton suggests that the 9/11 operation was planned by George H. W. Bush although he admits that he has no direct evidence linking him. In recent years, increasing numbers of 9-11 researchers are supporting Chris Bollyn's theories, which look at Mossad involvement and there does indeed seem to be a serious case to answer - summarised on the 9-11/Israel did it subpage.

Norman Mineta's testimony to the 9/11 Commission (simply ignored in their final report), implying a direct stand down order, would seem to explain the total failure of air defence around the Pentagon. Although standard operating procedure was not followed, those responsible were promoted rather than disciplined after the event.
9-11/Aircraft Wreckage	2,645	Wikipedia has nothing much to say on some major irregularities regarding aircraft wreckage on 9/11. It implausible that black boxes, designed to survive impact and fire were not recovered while three of the supposed hijackers' passports reportedly did survive the fiery crashes.

9-11/Commission	8,087	Set up over a year after the event, refused access to the president's daily briefings, not testified to under oath by Bush or Cheney, the 9/11 Commission was termed a "cover-up" by former member Max Cleland, who resigned. His replacement declared that 9/11 was "a 30 year conspiracy". Their first report did not mention WTC7.

9-11/Cover-up	12,415	A lot of resources have been devoted to containing the truth about the events of September 11th, 2001. However, while it has been more or less kept from television screens, awareness about 9-11 is growing worldwide.
9-11/Dissident	10,640	A 9-11 dissident is someone who publicly calls into question the US Deep state's official narratives surrounding the 9/11 event. The label is not for minor disagreements but for those with a more serious objection to the story as told by commercially-controlled media}.
9-11/Drills	6,276	A remarkable number of terror drills occured in the US on or around the day of 9-11, including drills about the hijacking of planes and the flying them into buildings. This is agreed by many 9-11 researchers to have been an obfuscation tactic, and to have hindered response to the real attacks.
9-11/E-4B	6,980	An E-4B was spotted over the White house and the Pentagon on 9/11. The official narrative for more than a decade was not to talk about it, although it was reported on CNN and video, photos and eye witnesses do exist. Later declassification did prove the basic fact that the plane was present.

9-11/Joint Congressional Inquiry	3,257	The first inquiry into 9/11, by its own admission "not in the blame game". It produced an 800 page report of which 28 pages were censored, and released in redacted form in July 2016.
9-11/Legal action	4,471	A summary of the contradictory array of legal judgements around 9-11
9-11/Media response	10,244	The failure of the media corporations to investigate 9-11 on any level is an indictment of the controlled nature of the corporate media of the 21st century. Independent media has to an increasing extent filled the gap, as the unwelcome truth of September 11th is accepted by ever more people.
9-11/Official narrative	8,758	The 9-11 plot, a false flag attack staged by the US/Deep state in concert with other deep states, was blamed on "19 hijackers" who were members of Al Qaeda. The official opposition narrative states that small scale corruption within the US government prevented the successful apprehension of the gang of 19, and also lead to some relatively minor inaccuracies and inconsistencies between the different official narratives.
9-11/Pentagon	16,440	The Pentagon was attacked on September 11th, allegedly by American Airlines Flight 77 piloted by Hani Hanjour, though many have stated that this seems unlikely. A lot of CCTV footage of what happened has been confiscated by the US government and not released.
9-11/Perpetrators	5,154	Mark Gorton suggests that the operation was planned by "the cabal", under the leadership of George H. W. Bush, with allies in Saudi Arabia. Deep state elements with the US government, the CIA and the Mossad all appear to be implicated.
9-11/Premature death	6,000	Many people have been killed in an effort to suppress the truth about 9/11. Where convenient, deaths have been made to look accidental or illness related. Sometimes people have been "suicided", making it hard to know exactly how many were murdered.

1993 World Trade Center bombing	“The 1993 WTC bombing created the necessary pretext for a massive engineering upgrade of the WTC complex. The purpose of the 1993 WTC bombing was not to bring down the WTC. A truck bomb could not bring down a structure as large as the WTC. The purpose of the 1993 WTC bombing was to create a rationale for a “security upgrade” of the WTC complex. And for this purpose, the 1993 WTC bombing succeeded perfectly. According to Alan Reiss, the PANYNJ’s World Trade Center Director, “After the 1993 bombing, we implemented a ten-year redevelopment program. We were spending a half a billion dollars on upgrades. It was an engineer’s dream”. After the 1993 bombing, the PANYNJ brought in Kroll Associates to do a “complete security analysis”. The executive director of the Port Authority emphasized the importance of Kroll’s work at the WTC by saying, “We have such confidence in [Kroll] that I have followed every one of their recommendations. The person who led Kroll’s work on the WTC was Brian Michael Jenkins.”	Mark Gorton

9-11/Air Defence	“According to mainstream information, QRA intercepts happened at a rate of almost 400 times per year in the early 1990s. After the reduction to 7 sites, each with two jets, in the late 1990s, they still occurred roughly twice per week right up to 9/11. What are the details of these intercepts with regard to protocol/chain of command and reaction time? Who exactly was responsible for the failure to redirect QRA jets, normally aimed at planes coming in from overseas, toward threats emerging from over the mainland? Why were no QRA jets available at Andrews Air Force Base, right next to the nation's capital, a primary target for every terrorist in the world? Terrorists of various convictions have tried to target the White House and other buildings with airliners and small airplanes since at least 1974. What message does it send to world when the world's greatest superpower leaves its capital without air cover? NORAD's Langley interceptors accidentally flew east over the ocean while they should have been heading to the north-west, towards Washington, D.C. This was standard operating procedure when pilots were scrambled but not provided with a target. How could this mistake happen, as any commander at any level should be aware of this basic procedure? Who is responsible? Why weren't the pilots of the Langley jets provided with information on their target? Who is responsible for that?”	Joël van der Reijden ISGP	2015

George H. W. Bush	“I have seen no evidence directly linking George H.W. (Poppy) Bush directly to the 9/11 attacks, but just as physicists can detect the presence of a black hole by the actions of other bodies around it, so the massive force of George H. W. Bush in the 9/11 op can be inferred. Many people extremely close to Poppy Bush were actively involved in the 9/11 op, including: his son oldest son, George W.

What fuels suspicions of conspiracy is the reluctance to address the sort of awkward gaps and contradictions in the official explanations that David Ray Griffin(and other devoted scholars of high integrity) have been documenting in book after book ever since his authoritative The New Pearl Harbor in 2004 (updated in 2008). What may be more distressing than the apparent cover up is the eerie silence of the mainstream media, unwilling to acknowledge the well-evidenced doubts about the official version of the events: an al Qaeda operation with no foreknowledge by government officials. Is this silence a manifestation of fear or cooption, or part of an equally disturbing filter of self-censorship? Whatever it is, the result is the withering away of a participatory citizenry and the erosion of legitimate constitutional government. The forms persist, but the content is missing.”	Richard Falk	11 January 2008
Anthony Fauci	“After the 9/11 attacks, and the mysterious anthrax mailings that began a week later (which said, “TAKE PENACILIN [sic] NOW / DEATH TO AMERICA / DEATH TO ISRAEL / ALLAH IS GREAT”), the desire for biopreparedness became all consuming. Now there were emerging biothreats from humans as well as from the evolving natural world.

We killed 58,000 American servicemen in the Vietnam War and all they did was die in vain. What’s so unusual about killing three thousand more in order to develop the grist for the mill to empower into infinity the funding of the military industrial complex? ...So yes, there’s no question in my mind that 9/11 took place in order to radicalize the views and the fears of Americans so that they would accept any abridgment of their democracy in order to sustain the profit motives of the military industrial complex and Wall Street.”	Mike Gravel

Paul Craig Roberts	“If such a thing [The 9-11/Official narrative] had actually happened, there would have been demands from the White House, from Congress, and from the media for an investigation. Officials would have been held accountable for their failures. Heads would have rolled. Instead... the worst security failure in history resulted in not a single firing. No one was held responsible.”	Paul Craig Roberts	10 September 2014
Coleen Rowley	“I began a long time ago right after 9/11 being appalled by the fact that this cover-up was beginning, and then seeing this so-called war on terror began, and again had very little connection to what I knew what was behind that the terrorist attacks, and seeing "terrorism" grow. In the world right now if we wanted to be safer you do something, but you don’t do something that makes the problem worse.”	Coleen Rowley

1 July 2016 Robin  A pretty authoritative tour round the circumstances of that terrible day.
This is actually fairly patchy and by no means the last word on the subject; 9/11 was a hugely complex affair. However, there is a lot of information on this page and its subpages, and it gives an idea of the scope of the deception.

Many thanks to our Patrons who cover ~2/3 of our hosting bill. Please join them if you can.
