Charlie Sheen and the 9/11 investigation

By Dark Politricks

With the anniversary of 9/11 just gone past for another year and the war still rumbling on in Afghanistan it is worth once remembering those events in New York and Washington to see if we have learnt anything new or answered any of those questions that have been lingering ever since. Although a large percentage of the population in the US as well as any other country believe that the official story of the events of 9/11 is a pack of lies the main stream media is still following the official line and proponents of alternative theories are always labelled conspiracy theorists.

A recent article in Physcology today labelled the anti NWO personality Alex Jones and all other conspiracy theorists as borderline mentally ill for believing in theories that accuse the government of conspiring to cause harm to its citizens. This blatantly ignores the many historical incidences of governments doing just that (Reichstag fire, Operation Northwoods, Operation GLADIO and the first World Trade Center attacks to name just a few).

Opponents of conspiracy theories seem quite happy to ignore any facts or pieces of evidence that contradict their view of the state as a benevolent force at the same time of accusing proponents of such widely known false flag theories of doing the same. This hypocrisy can be seen with the recent media onslaught against Charlie Sheen who has bravely risked his career to question the “official conspiracy theory” of 9/11. People have accused Sheen and other 9/11 truthers of being on the same level as holocaust deniers however I would say that people who refuse to question authority or ask questions of their government when questions need answering are worse than holocaust deniers. They are the people who allowed the holocaust to happen, they guarded the camps, drove the trains or kept the books of the Nazi regime. They refused to believe that such evil could happen and because they refused to question authority and confront the evil in their midst they allowed an evil to be perpetrated.

If you claim to support the official government story of 9/11 that hijackers flew planes into the WTC and Pentagon and that the US government had no knowledge of the attacks before hand and did all they possible could to prevent those attacks from happening then fine. However if you believe this explanation without having investigated the matter for yourselves and then ridicule others as conspiracy theorists without knowing the facts or questions that led to alternative theories then shame on you. You are no better than creationists or young earthers who believe an official story because it either comforts you or because an authority told you what to believe in. At least have the decency to look into any alternative story so that you can combat it with logic and reason rather than faith.

Here is a short video by Charlie Sheen which accompanies his letter to President Obama asking for a re-opening of the 9/11 enquiry. Even if you do not read the letter please watch the video and send it on. All the clips from the video are from news reports taken from the day of the attacks.

Even if you do not agree with the evidence presented or the questions he asked you should admire his guts in asking those questions as he is currently being vilified by the US media. He is risking his career to uncover answers to questions about that day that the US government seems unwilling to answer. The only investigation into 9/11 was a white wash and we now have 6 of the 10 commissioners who held that enquiry have gone on record to say that the official story is a lie.

Those 9/11 commission members have said:

The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission (Thomas Keane and Lee Hamilton) said that the CIA (and likely the White House) “obstructed our investigation”.

The co-chairs of the 9/11 Commission also said that the 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials misrepresented the facts to the Commission, and the Commission considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements, yet didn’t bother to tell the American people (free subscription required).

Indeed, the co-chairs of the Commission now admit that the Commission largely operated based upon political considerations.

9/11 Commission co-chair Lee Hamilton says “I don’t believe for a minute we got everything right”, that the Commission was set up to fail, that people should keep asking questions about 9/11, that the 9/11 debate should continue, and that the 9/11 Commission report was only “the first draft” of history.

9/11 Commissioner Bob Kerrey said that “There are ample reasons to suspect that there may be some alternative to what we outlined in our version . . . We didn’t have access . . . .”

9/11 Commissioner Timothy Roemer said “We were extremely frustrated with the false statements we were getting”

Former 9/11 Commissioner Max Cleland resigned from the Commission, stating: “It is a national scandal”; “This investigation is now compromised”; and “One of these days we will have to get the full story because the 9-11 issue is so important to America. But this White House wants to cover it up”.

9/11 Commissioner John Lehman said that “We purposely put together a staff that had – in a way – conflicts of interest”.

The Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission (John Farmer) who led the 9/11 staff’s inquiry, said “I was shocked at how different the truth was from the way it was described …. The tapes told a radically different story from what had been told to us and the public for two years.. This is not spin. This is not true.”

If even the people who held the only enquiry into those events believe that the official story is a lie then surely another one should be held. Numerous enquiries were held into the Pearl Harbour attacks even though the Japanese were known to have commited them. Bin Laden who was accussed of the attacks denied responsibility in an interview carried out a few weeks later. However he was used as  the reason to start almost a decade of war and has never been brought to justice.

The people who believe that the attacks were either a false flag or allowed to happen for political gain do not only contain numerous politicians, military members, journalists, architects, pilots and scientists but also the majority of the public when questioned. On most polls taken roughly 6 out of 10 people do not believe the offical story behind 9/11 in one way or another and I am guessing here that out of the remaining 4 the majority have not spent any time investigating the facts or unaswered questions themselves. We also now have many family members and survivors of those attacks demanding a new investigation but still one of the most common attacks made by those unwilling to even consider an investigation is that we must shut up to respect the victims of those attacks.

The best way to show our respect to the 3000+ victims of the 9/11 attacks is to hold a full public enquiry to answer every single one of the many questions that remain about that day. If the result shows that Arab Terrorists hijacked the planes and carried out the attacks and there was no knowledge before hand by any government agency that could have prevented the attacks then that is fine but we have not had such an enquiry and until we do questions will remain. Questions such as:

-Why did the CIA allow 15 of 19 suspected hijackers into the country on the fast track VISA scheme out of Jeddah.

-Were these Arab pilots engaged in smuggling drugs for the CIA or with a green light from the CIA from the Venice airport in Florida. Sibel Edmonds the most gagged person in history since 9/11 claims that

“The 9/11 terror plot intersected with the activities of a drug trafficking network of international scope, in ways that form a “crystal clear” picture of what was going on.”

-Did the Mossad agents posing as Art Students who lived “only a stones throw away” from these hijackers in Florida know of the plot before hand. If so did they inform the US government and did the US government ignore the warning or allow the attacks to occur for political reasons.

-Was the CIA or the USA in general still maintaining a close and intimate relationship with Bin Laden and the Taliban right up until 9/11 as Sibel Edmonds claims in a recent interview after breaking her gag order. If so what were the nature of these ties? When was the last time any member of the CIA, FBI, NSA or any other agency meet face to face with Bin Laden?

-If the war in Afghanistan is a direct result of the 9/11 attacks then why did the USA have detailed plans for an invasion planned for October of 2001 before the attacks had ever happened. If the attacks never happened would we have gone to war anyway and how would the government have gained public support for such a naked war of aggression?

-Is there any truth in the reports that hundreds of millions of dollars worth of gold bullion went missing from the World Trade Center. Who did this gold belong to, who took it and why has no-one complained? Were the attacks used as a cover for this theft.

-If eye witness accounts of planes hitting the Pentagon are used as the main explanation for that attack in defiance of the lack of physical evidence for a jet liner hitting the building then why are the eye witness accounts from Firemen, Policemen, Journalists and other first responders at WTC that claim to have heard numerous detonator charges or bombs go off in the towers dismissed or not taken into account with the same gravitas as those from Washington?

-Why did the Pakistani ISI general order the wiring of $100,000 to lead hijacker Mohammed Atta in the months preceding the attacks?

-The CIA apparently knew about Atta and the other hijackers and that they posed a threat to the country through their secret Able Danger operation. What did this operation consist of and if they knew Atta posed a threat did they or others with control of this information allow the attacks to occur.

-The Project for a New American Century’s report “Rebuilding Americas defences” which was commissioned by the chief Neo-Cons (Dick Cheney, Rumsfield, Wolfowitz, Libby etc) outlined plans to take and maintain control of the Persian Gulf and to model the world to benefit Americas interests.  It advocated the transformation of the US military but realised such a process would be long winded and problematic without “some catastrophic and catalyzing event – like a new Pearl Harbour”. The 9/11 attacks were exactly the type of attacks this report outlined and have indeed been used by those in power to transform the military and place US bases in the Persian gulf. Is it unreasonable to suggest that certain people when reading intelligence reports of an impending attack by Al Qaeda allowed the attacks to occur in some misguided thought that the benefit to the US in a geopolitical sense over the long term outweighed the suffering and pain of the victims in the short term?

-As well as the PNAC document other policy documents were released after the election of Bush jnr that seeked to legitamise going to war in search for oil and gas. There was obviously a desire by those in control of US policy to get the military to the oil rich gulf and the attacks of 9/11 were the perfect way to gain public support for such an act. We must also remember that within hours of the attack Donald Rumsfield wanted plans to strike Iraq even though Iraq had nothing to do with the attack. This seems like war mongering to me, were the 9/11 attacks used as an excuse to implement existing plans of war?

-Why were the FBI who were investigating Bin Laden and other Saudi links to terrorism told to back off once George Bush took power? Bin Laden along with other family members attended his sons wedding in Kandahar early 2001. This proves Bin Laden maintained contact with other members of his family so why were the Bin Laden family allowed to fly out of the US shortly after the attacks of 9/11 without being questioned first.

-All of the terrorist hijackers bought their plane tickets for 9/11 using credit cards and their real names. Two of these people are on “no fly” watch lists due to being suspected terrorists. Why did the FBI, CIA or any other police authority with this information share it with the airports or airliners concerned.

–Why did the plane that hit the Pentagon hit the Pentagon? This is one of the most heavily defended pieces of airspace in the world. Why were no anti-aircraft missiles fired. Why were interceptor planes so slow to respond. What did Dick Cheney mean when he said the orders still stood as the “plane” came hurtling towards the Pentagon and no action was taken to shoot it down. If the orders were to shoot it down then why were no missiles fired. The implication is the order was to let the incoming radar blip hit the target. This was the testimony of Norman Mineta to the 9/11 commission which directly contradicts Dick Cheney’s evidence.

The points I have just raised are a tiny fraction of those publicly available and widely known facts, anomalies or unanswered questions that I personally would like answers to regarding the events that happened on the day of September 11th or in the months leading up to it.

I would urge anyone reading this who is not familiar with the points raised to click any related links provided or to do your own research. I have not even mentioned any theories about bombs in the trade center, controlled demolition, missiles hitting the pentagon, faked phone calls, remote controlled planes, NORAD stand down orders or any other theories that are commonly connected with the attacks.

I feel that I do not need to do this as those few points outlined above are enough I believe to make any logically thinking person who wants to get to the truth of the events of 9/11 say to themselves that maybe we do not know all there is to be known about that day. Maybe the official “conspiracy theory” is just not good enough and maybe only a full comprehensive public enquiry that answers all the questions is good enough to honour the victims and help move forward.

If there is anyone reading this article that does believe that all questions regarding 9/11 have been answered and can help quench my thirst for understanding regarding the points I have raised then please do leave a comment.
