Send via SMS BlogThis!George Washington's Blog Monday, April 03, 2006 9/11: a 7-Man Job A common objection to the argument that 9/11 was an inside job is that the conspiracy would be too big to keep quiet. In other words, the argument is that it is impossible that so many people could have kept quiet for so long. SOMEONE would have talked or made a mistake, so that the conspiracy would have been discovered. Is that true? Maybe. But anyone who's seen a Tom Clancy or Robert Ludlum movie, or even watched enough Stargate, Star Trek or Alias, knows that a handful of bad guys can pull off big conspiracies, especially when they've got a high-level military or government person on board. Moreover, to anyone who knows how covert military operations work, it is obvious that segmentation on a "need-to-know basis", along with deference to command hierarchy, means that a couple of top dogs can call the shots and most people helping won't even know the big picture. I Can't Hear You It has now been shown that a handful of people were responsible for willfully ignoring the evidence that Iraq lacked weapons of mass destruction. See, for, example this article. Indeed, Iraq was not the first time the U.S. has ignored or faked intelligence in order to justify war. The facts are also clear that it was also obvious to U.S. intelligence that 9/11 was going to happen on or around the date it happened. So how many people would it have taken to ignore the intelligence that hijackers were going to attack? How hard would it been for a handful of top-level administration officials to stick their fingers in their ears, say "nah nah nah" (lilke a kid does when they don't want to hear what you're saying), and let it happen? Its Happened Before As confirmed by a former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligence, NATO, with the help of U.S. and foreign special forces, carried out terror bombings in Italy and blamed the communists, in order to rally people’s support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism. As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated: "You had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security." In the early 1950s, agents of an Israeli terrorist cell operating in Egypt planted bombs in several buildings, including U.S. diplomatic facilities, then left behind "evidence" implicating the Arabs as the culprits (one of the bombs detonated prematurely, allowing the Egyptians to identify the bombers). Israel's Defense Minister was brought down by the scandal, along with the entire Israeli government. See also this confirmation. But not in the U.S., right? Well, recently declassified documents show that in the 1960's, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff signed off on a plan to blow up AMERICAN airplanes (using an elaborate plan involving the switching of airplanes), and also to commit terrorist acts on American soil, and then to blame it on the Cubans in order to justify an invasion of Cuba. See this ABC news report, the official documents, and watch this interview with the former Washington Investigative Producer for ABC's World News Tonight with Peter Jennings (click link entitled "Joint Chiefs Guilty-Northwoods"). But that was a plan that – while it would have involved a large conspiracy - was never carried out, right? True. But as shown by this BBC special (which contains interviews with some of the key players), it is probable that America knew of the Japanese plan to attack Pearl Harbor -- down to the exact date of the attack -- and allowed it to happen to justify America's entry into World War II. See also this short essay by a highly-praised historian summarizing some of the key points (the historian, a World War II veteran, actually agreed with this strategy for getting America into the war, and so does not have any axe to grind). According to top WWII scholars, the Pearl Harbor conspiracy involved hundreds of military personnel. And -- most stunning -- the FDR administration took numerous affirmative steps to ensure that the Japanese attack would be successful These are just a few of many examples of what are called "false flag operations", where governments attack their own people or allies – then blame it on their enemy – in order to justify a war against that enemy. There are many more examples from recent history. In all of these cases, more than a handful of people were involved in planning, funding and carrying out the attacks. And yet no one spilled the beans or – if someone did – they were not believed. But 9/11 Was Much Bigger But 9/11 would have involved a much bigger conspiracy theory, which – unlike the examples above – would have been too big to keep quiet. Right? Not necessarily. NATO's Italian terror campaign would have involved quite a few people. Pearl Harbor, according to top historians, involved hundreds of people. 9/11, in contrast, could have involved fewer people. Indeed, one could argue that it involved ONE person. Let's say -- just as an example randomly pulled out of a hat -- Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney was apparently in charge of the entire U.S. government’s counter-terrorism program prior to 9/11, and in charge of ALL 5 of the war games which occurred on 9/11, and Mr. Cheney also coordinated the government's "response" to the attacks. See this CNN article; and this essay. Being in charge of all counter-terrorism in the U.S., Cheney was probably the person who moved up major war games so that they would overlap with games and terror drills already planned for 9/11. And see this interview of the former head of the Star Wars program and a former Air Force colonel. And Cheney is the one who monitored flight 77 for many miles as it approached the Pentagon and -- when a military man asked "do the orders still stand?" -- Cheney responded affirmatively: "The plane is 50 miles out. The plane is 30 miles out." And when it got down to, "The plane is 10 miles out," the young man also said to the vice president, "Do the orders still stand?" And the vice president turned and whipped his neck around and said, "Of course the orders still stand. Have you heard anything to the contrary?" Watch the video for yourself. In addition, a former Los Angeles police department investigator, whose newsletter is read by 45 members of congress, both the house and senate intelligence committees, and professors at more than 40 universities around the world, claims that Cheney was in charge of the entire military and the secret service during the 9/11 attacks, that the secret service has its own communications system which is parallel to and can even cut into normal military communication channels. Most people acknowledge that Cheney is one of the most powerful vice presidents in history. In addition, Cheney has a long-standing history of falsifying and manipulating facts and taking brutal actions in furtherance of his imperial goals. For example, in the 70's -- Cheney was instrumental in generating fake intelligence exaggerating the Soviet threat in order to undermine coexistence between the U.S. and Soviet Union, which conveniently justified huge amounts of cold war spending. See also this article. And the former director of the CIA accused Cheney of overseeing torture policies. Colin Powell's former chief of staff also stated that Dick Cheney is guilty of war crimes. I'm not trying to be long-winded about Mr. Cheney's resume. I'm simply pointing out that Mr. Cheney seems to have the ability to make large U.S. policy decisions and take sweeping actions -- and to order others to do so -- without much problem. Now, of course, there was probably more than one person involved in this hypothetical example. Mr. Cheney would probably have had 1 guy manning the secret service communications system and another guy sitting at a computer inserting false radar blips onto air traffic controllers' screens. But this demonstrates that you didn’t need thousands to pull off 9/11. Wrecking Crew Let’s take it one step further. How many people would it have taken to demolish World Trade Center buildings 1, 2 and 7 with bombs? Hundreds? Thousands? How about 3. Specifically, there was plenty of opportunity to plant bombs in the Twin Towers. By way of example only: Bomb-sniffing dogs were abruptly and inexplicably removed from the Twin Towers in the weeks preceding 9/11 There was a power down in the Twin Towers on the weekend before 9/11, security cameras were shut down, and many workers ran around busily doing things unobserved The Twin Towers had been evacuated a number of times in the weeks preceding 9/11 And, as an interesting coincidence, a Bush-linked company ran security at the trade centers So here's a potential scenario: One guy in the Bush-linked security company let's in the bomb-setters; A 2-man crew of demolition experts sets the radio-controlled explosives while everyone is out of the building; And the same crew detonates the explosives using a radio transceiver. That adds only 3 more guys. So, we're now up to perhaps 7 people total to pull off 9/11 (Cheney, another guy making sure intelligence warnings aren't acted on, the secret service agent and the the radar guy, the security guy and the two-man demolition crew). How did they Keep Them Quiet? Jason Bourne (the fictional character in the Bourne movies) kept people quiet by offering 2 alternatives: He told them that he'd pay them alot of money if they cooperated; or he'd kill them if they didn't. Bourne had his own code of honor and was a good guy. If the 9/11 masterminds wanted to keep people quiet, they would probably be alot more ruthless, as they apparently do not follow Mr. Bourne's code of honor. Moreover, many of the people who carried out 9/11 probably did so for ideological reasons -- they actually believed that killing 3,000 Americans was justified in a "ends justify the means" way as an excuse to carry out their agenda. Never underestimate the conviction of an idealogue. These people would not need to be quieted. Even after the disastrous wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, torture, spying, etc., they probably still believe they did the right thing by creating the justification for the administration's policies. They would thus have no desire to speak out. Just because no one you know is this extreme an idealogue doesn't mean people like that don't exist. There are people who will go to their grave believing that their monstrous crimes were the acts of patriots. How Many? Were more than 7 guys involved? Probably. But it could still have involved many less people than were needed to carry out NATO's Italian terror campaign or to hide the fact that an entire fleet of Japanese ships was sailing towards Pearl Harbor. Contrary to popular misperception, conspiracies are not that uncommon. Just because the government tries to claim that conspiracy theories are crazy does not mean that they don't exist. Indeed, the commonly-parroted statement that there are no conspiracies is propaganda spread to protect the criminals who carry out false flag operations, and just may be the biggest conspiracy of them all. posted by George Washington at 6:47 PM 11 Comments: Ringwind said...

Yes, this idea that a conspiracy is impossible to keep under wraps is ridiculous. I think you could focus more on the veil of fear that descended on America in the days following 9/11, reinforced by the Bush/Cheney propaganda machine. People police themselves. Unwitting conspirators might look around and see that the American public would call for their blood if they should come forward and say, "I didn't know it at the time, but I was part of a conspiracy on 9/11." Just look what happened to the FBI whistleblowers. I think the self-imposed silence is more powerful than the threat of being shot by the CIA. Self-subjugation is a powerful thing, and makes conspiracies very possible. 9:25 PM morgan reynolds said...

This is one of your best posts yet. The "massive conspiracy" defense is weak at the best, if it's used by people do dismiss all the other inconsistencies. 6:43 AM bb said... Super essay again, GW. "Self-subjugation" is a great way to think about things, unrelated imagery notwithstanding. See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil. Question nothing, and you may get into heaven. 10:32 AM author said... Excellent. I have long maintained that the "must have needed hundreds of complicit conspiritors" objection was the primary reason so many people won't even LOOK at the evidence. And I arrived at a similar figure - less than 10 required. Cheney sitting at the top of the "executive". though perhaps NOT "chairman of the board...". As for the building demo teams? Out of towners. With months to prepare. probably from some middle eastern locale.... who like dancing! Ask yourself one (of many) question. HOW would the hijackers have KNOW to pull this stunt THAT day. the day of the NORAD exercises that messed up their screens and made interpretation of events so ... difficult? I have NO DOUBT this was a planned black op, though I also think the buildings falling MIGHT have been Silverstein's own sidebet/money-making scheme. i.e. planes crashing ALONE would have been sufficient cassus belli. WHY? Complicated.... not only oil. But mainly. The need to control the price of oil to effect a RISE in its price for two reasons. a) to try to effect a '70's style inflation to ward off an inevitable deflationary bust. b) to delay peak oil by making exploration once again affordable. GEDDIT? And a small price to pay to save the global economy. I think they had planned for about 2-300 deaths. Not 3,000. Flight 93? Probably shot down AFTER passengers got control. Needing to destroy the evidence. i.e. the remote controlled plane itself. The Pentagon flight? NOT the plane you think it was... of that I am sure. Where did the actual plane go? OUT TO SEA. To a watery grave. GOOD LUCK MERKANS! 12:41 PM Anonymous said... Why did the government not mention other disturbing failures in security lapses. Clues that should have sent up the flags and possibly preventing 911 from ever happening? On the day Billy Clinton was going to sign-in the new "Crime Bill". A man named [Frank Corder], had stolen a single engine plane , flew it all the way to Washington and crashed it into the WhiteHouse wall two stories below the Presidential bedroom on SEPTEMBER, (12th) 1994. When I skipped work on that day of 911, just so I could watch the horrible event unfold live , because I really thought that the end of the world was near (I figured America was going to start nuking every other suspect country)and as I prayed for the people who we're holding hands and shown jumping to their deaths I figured most American's must have real brown stuff for brains because you let it happen again 7 years later, almost to the day. And you are going to again let a man who is the poster rep for adultery and corruption once again back into the American limelight. The man who has a death list of people nearly two pages long (more dead body gaurds then all presidents combined, 12) who surrounds himself with merc's and mafia kingpings who are protecting his image cause he is going to walk into the WhiteHouse doors once again with his wife as the "virtual president" this time. 12:45 PM Postman said...

Fact contained within profiteering fiction. The earth isnt warming because of CO2 emmissions. Its warming because the sun is getting increasingly excited. Have a look at the graphs which show how much 'sunlight' the earth is absorbing these days. And of course, we as humans are all part of the sun. Our bodies meanwhile vibrate, and the higher the frequency to which they vibrate, the more light they give off. Serioulsy folks , work this stuff out for yourself. Global warming ? A 2.5 trillion dollar a year industry. Thats on the small side.

Are these chemtrail clouds keeping the light in , or are they keeping it out ? Or are they just another form of poison ? Im not quite sure either way.

by **smithtalk** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 10:40 pm

another alternative to having a small team that keeps quiet is a larger team that you permanently silence, one govt. agent apparently died at wtc7 and the list of defense contracter people who apparently died on the day is pretty interesting, from raytheon and places like that, if i were going to do the job, i'd use the people i trusted the most and then a few extras who i'd kill on the day, a scene i have never forgotten is when the jackal goes to the specialist gun maker in the film the day of the jackal and after getting his gun and bullets kills the gunmaker, no loose ends

Never underestimate the conviction of an idealogue" I think it was many different criminal elements of the elites.some working in tandem..others working separately ..Very few of the most highest ups knew the overall agenda..which is 1984 USA.. layers of criminals doing different but related crimes most NOT knowing of the others participation..Many knowing there was HUGE profits to be made by pulling the perfect crime.. selling the USA into slavery.. Bush criminals are ALWAYS near the crime NEVER the indicted criminals.. Fall guys like OS wald and OS ama are set up yrs in advance and are players in the club Sadam is another fall guy as is the Iran honcho and I bet most world leaders are in the club

"A common objection to the argument that 9/11 was an inside job is that the conspiracy would be too big to keep quiet. In other words, the argument is that it is impossible that so many people could have kept quiet for so long." This common objection is not in alignement with the truth. Magic words: Manhatten Project (american A-Bomb project) and the Apollo 11 are two that come to mind. 2 examples of massive projects where everyone except a small number of top level individuals actually knew the entire scope of the plan and a large body of executive workers, who were completely in the dark about the ends of the project, actually made the nuts and bolts. If you look at Banks, for example, they are run the same way. In most huge businesses, the worker doesnt know much about anything, the boss knows everything and tells the worker just what to do, and just what he should know to make his end of the project a success, thus realizing the overall vision of the bosses. If you look at the military its kind of the same procedure again. "Give me 30 pushups soldier!" "Sir!Why, sir!?" eeem..no. "Take out that pillbox up on that ridge, soldier!" "Sir! How come, sir!?" eeeem...uh-uh. Then, think of the factories where they make dual-use technology. As an illustrative example, Lets say a factory workers job on an assembly line somewhere is to make bolts for a company that officially makes baby carriages, he works there for years...then one day, he takes a bolt home, and all his buddies from work take a piece of whatever equipment they are trained to produce home as well. Then these guys meet, and put all their bits together, and instead of assembling a baby-carriage they are startled to find themselves assembling...a machine gun. Sure the company produces baby carriages too, but they also produce machine guns without the workers ever catching on. Sorry, but I dont buy into that argument. Could have just as well been a midsized or large operation, only most of the participants didnt know how they contributed to the bigger picture. Thats how information can be very powerful.

i dont think that people who commit acts like that do it out of any ideology, they, like the money men are purely amoral, there would be special forces guys who have been in it so long that they wouldnt give a fuck who it was, just more dead people, money in the pocket, enjoyment of the job, not everyone has a conscience

Jim Hoffman has said 9-11 could have been done with only 12 people completely in the know. As far as keeping secrets in Washington, there's a good passage from Daniel Ellsberg in one of his books where he discusses how silly that argument is. All sorts of secrets are kept by thousands in Washington that never get out. Collective action problems, peer pressure, and group dynamics explains a great deal as well. When people ask you "how could 9-11 be inside job and be kept a secret all this time" the answer is simple -- it's not much of a secret.

by **sunny** » Wed Apr 05, 2006 11:27 pm

in the JFK case,( in fact the case is an object lesson) a person who contemplates outing such a monstrous conspiracy would have to be a fool not to consider his life and the lives of his family members in mortal danger. That is all one needs to know as to why participants in a conspiracy would keep quiet.

secrets are part of the club.. blood oaths of the sercte societys need blackmail extortion bribery sexual blackmail murders assasinations ect.. to keep the troops in line..and the agenda flowing despite Herculean efforts by TRuth seekers to shine lights into their darkness

In addition to all the reasons, causes and methods of keeping deep ops secrets as mentioned, ie. peer pressure, compartmentalization, team e'sprit, official/military heirarchal culture, ideological ferver, training/experience, military discipline and chain-of-command authority, blackmail, overt intimidation/implied threats, personal/family risk of whistleblowing/speaking w/out authorization, career/legal reprisals from disobeying 'orders' re: "classified" info, upholding National Security, end-justifies-means ... In a very real sense, I think a lot of people might only have suspected that they were manipulated or suckered-into playing a role in the 911 betrayal/treason after-the-fact and realized that if they were to blow the whistle on what they knew (or thought they knew) that they'd be cut loose to hang on their own as a 'kook', or discredited or be implicated for some kind of infraction or misfeasance or derilection of duty, possibly even a frame-up (with many examples to put this warning across) with legal sanction, death of career and loss of benefits and/or financial hardship; I wouldn't be surprised if many career military or civil servants/politicos were aware of something damning or highly incriminating in their personal files, either sexual peccadillos or embarrassing character/moral issues or a pay-off or an irregular financial deal or SOMETHING, perhaps a compromise/incident/favor they were manipulated into and then regretted -- I think payola is sometimes done very deliberately to 'get something' on a young officer or politico. In a related manner, many of the Reagan and Bush sr.-era (and Clinton -era) plutocrats and military/intel officers/operatives now in Dubya's regime have been involved in some very dirty dealings that they are all keenly interested in keeping secret -- these shared secrets forge deep ties and intricate bonds of criminal brotherhood, like the old Sicilian mafia tradition of Omerta. And too, the Pentagon and White House have taken the unprecedented step of invalidating whistleblower protection, and warning against and cracking-down on 'unauthorized leaks' and anonymous sources revealing suspicious acts of government duplicity and what are clearly egregious acts of law-breaking and terrible human rights abuses (recall members of Congress being polygraphed over what they may have said about the CIA's policy of Renditions?) -- The climate of fear, intimidation and immunity from law and the incredible lack of transparency that the Bush Gang have cultivated clearly helps to keep vital information about them buried -- and to discourage anyone who might think they have a duty to Truth and the American public from speaking out. The kind of courage it takes to stand-up to institutionalized abuse-of-power, injustice, corruption, fraud, inhumanity, self-righteous arrogance, war-crimes, treason and illigitimate authority is something the American people will have to cultivate as they have lost this capacity for the most part through unquestioning accomodation to the status quo, and subsequent lack of practice and due diligence to the critical ideals of genuine self-rule.

Yup. And now the well-marketed NSA surveillance 'leak' has everyone on notice that they "better watch out, better not cry, better not pout, I'm telling you why..." James Risen, the NYTimes, James Bamford, and the White House worked that one like synchronized swimmers showing graceful moves above the surface while nastier things churned below.
