What was your 911 moment?

[isachar]

I'm very interested to know what it was that made you suspect the "official story" of 911 was a crock of shit.<br><br>For me, it wasn't even 911. It was the phony anthrax attacks which led me to think that "hey, if that's a fake out, then what else is?" That led me to the impossibility of cell phone calls from jets travelling at high speed at altitude, and that led me to building 7, which of course led to the impossibility of the collpase of the WTC's.<br><br>What was your 911 moment? <p></p><i></i>

The Bologna train station bombing, which occurred on August 2, 1980. Although I didn't learn of it until some years later, when the sordid details began to emerge. <p></p><i></i>

MY 9/11 moment came when the 2nd plane hit the Twin Towers. <p></p><i></i>

That morning I had been tuckpointing bricks around the basement and knew nothing of the morning's events until I walked out on the front porch and a neighbor shouted, "Whaddaya think of all this shit"? I thought he was talking about the funny weather. When he explained, "Some hijackers flew a couple of big jets into the World Trade Center, another into the Pentagon, and crashed one in Pennsylvania", my first response was:<br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>"Hijackers?</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> Flying <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>jumbo</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> jets?" <p></p><i></i>

Two or three weeks later having dinner with a lawyer friend, who told me about his client, Delmart Vreeland, his frustrated efforts over the summer to get authorities to pay attention to Vreeland's warning, and the sealing of "Let one happen, stop the rest." <br><br>Right down the rabbit hole. I had vertigo sitting there, staring at my chicken burrito. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=rigorousintuition>Rigorous Intuition</A> at: 6/22/06 9:15 pm<br></i>

Reading the Cleveland Plain Dealer in July 2001 when it said that Bin Laden was determined to attack the U.S. w/ civilian aircraft. Then watching the buildings fall in perfect controlled demolition. My born-again Christian friends attributed it to merciful angels; I was more cynical, and wondered what the angels had against the people actually in the building. Also, asking myself who benefited. Not Muslims, that's for certain. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p216.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=yathrib>yathrib</A> at: 6/22/06 9:36 pm<br></i>

My 911 moment came on the evening of April 16th/17th 2002. That was the night the Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan were bombed by the two US F-16.<br><br>I was sitting at this computer doing my homework for a distance degree I was working on at the time. I had the radio on and was reading the Internet news about the attack on the soldiers. Right when I was listening to it I had a sickening feeling in my gut that it was not an accident. I knew the jet pilots had been ordered to shoot at the Canadians....perhaps, I thought, in retaliation for Canada not joining in the War on Iraq which Chretien had told Bush just weeks earlier he would not be joining.<br><br>Later as the details came in, I learned that at the exact moment the soldiers where hit with the bomb, the Canadians and Americans were toasting each other at a gala at the US embassy in Ottawa....just the kind of thing the neoCons like...it's so Sicilian.<br><br>I followed the details of the hearing of the two pilots and learned that there had been at least three 'stalking attempts' in the months previous where for one reason or another, bombing of Cdn soldiers in Afghanistan by US pilots had been thwarted at the last moment.<br><br>Anyway, that was when I realized how truly dangerous the neoCons were...how they were playing for keeps and how no one was immune...particularly not militarily vulnerable but resource-rich nations.<br><br>A few months later, I was surfing the net with this new mindset that I had adopted, and came across 911research.com. That was it.<br><br>When I read on that site about WTC7...I had an 'ah hah' moment.<br><br>GC <p></p><i></i>

[xsic bastardx]

<br><br> when I read this web site. <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.serendipity.li">www.serendipity.li</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> it blew me away(wow no pun intended). <p></p><i></i>

I was your average oblivious, ignorant American until March of 2005. My initiation into the insidious world of the global elite came from reading Gary Webb's <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Dark Alliance</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> series that had been printed in the <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>San Jose Mercury</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. <br><br>Initially I was shell-shocked when I first read that 9/11 was an inside job. I didn't want to believe it. I felt like Cyper in the Matrix, if only I would have taken the blue pill, ignorance was so blissful. Looking back though, I can't believe how ignorant I really was, but it helps me when working with other Americans in understanding, and breaking through that barrier of disbelief. <br><br>Officially, my 9/11 moment came when I read how the FBI had been involved in organizing the first WTC attack in 1993, that sealed the deal for me. <p></p><i></i>

I'd heard on 9/11 news reports that "the terrorists" had secret codes that were being used to underscore a threat to take out Air Force One. <br><br>According to the newscast "the terrorists" had hacked the codes and we were to be scared because of that.<br><br>That rolled around in my head a few days and the more I thought about it, the less the whole aQ story made to me. I wondered if there had been an internal coup attempt that was being covered up or something.<br><br>A day or two after the event, my three year old came up to me and asked if we could watch the diggers and plane crashes again on TV all night. That sure flicked the switch OFF to the saturation media coverage.<br><br>Big mistake. No time on TV meant time thinking and reading on the internet. <br><br>I'm a private pilot, and was trying to make sense of things. I was thinking about the lack of transponder squawks the pilots would have made if they were hijacked. I just couldn't see how that could have happened four times. I tried to envision four hijack scenarios where this could have happened. Just didn't make sense.<br><br>A day or two after 9/11 a friend of mine said "what do you think happened?" I said I thought terrorists did it and there wasn't much else to it. He laughed and said that it all seemed too easy with the Korans and flight manuals so easily found. He said "just watch, stuff is gonna come out of this that will make the Kennedy assasination look straight forward." I said that I doubted it; it seemed illogical that such attacks would occur for political reasons or due to some conspiracy. <br><br>After all, it only took sinking the Maine to start the Spanish American War, and the fako Gulf of Tonkin incident to light up Vietnam. No, I said that nothing so big and elaborate as 9/11 was required to get all the political capital required to do whatever the government wanted.<br><br>Then the Emperor's New Clothes which discussed the stand-down of the Air Force. Hmmmm. This required a bunch more reading. Yeah, good question. I talked to a friend of mine, a retired jet fighter jockey. He looked things over, thought about them, and when I talked to him a few days later he showed with his face "I don't understand" and said with his mouth "Please let's never talk about this topic again."<br><br>Then it pretty well snowballed downhill from there....<br><br>Yeah, to the point where I pretty much have the whole Paul Thompson Complete 9/11 Timeline internalized.<br><br>And you know what? I have no idea WTF happened. Other than something happened very different than we've been told. NOTHING makes sense with the data set that I have assimilated.<br> <p></p><i></i>

I never believed it, not for one second. Then when the news reports started trickling in that they had found so and so's passport on the ground where the towers fell, and that they'd found a rental car outside Logan with, what was it? A Koran and a flightplan or something. Give me a break, at least don't insult my intelligence. <p></p><i></i>

[Forgetting2]

Didn't have one moment. It started with a thought in the back of my mind watching the towers collapse. I remember thinking, how is this possible?<br><br>After that it was just an accumulation of impossibilities over time. Then, one indistinct day, after I had already made up my mind (barring further evidence-my disclaimer), I realized I was on the other side of the fence from most of the people I knew. <p></p><i></i>
