Two Pillars Of Cynicism

From Eurasia review, 

February 09, 2011

by: Vijay Prashad

Ululations of joy broke out in Tel Aviv when it became clear that neither the United States nor the Egyptian ruling elite wanted to succumb to the pressures from below. It was all very well to allow managed democracy in Eastern Europe or in Central Asia, but such illusions were out of the question for the Middle East. A cobwebbed tradition of orientalist scholarship had proclaimed the Arab incapable of Enlightenment inventions such as democracy (a convenient example is Raphael Patai’s The Arab Mind, 1973). Their policy cousins, in the diplomatic warrens of Foggy Bottom and in Kiryat Ben Gurion, absorbed this twaddle. For them, the Arab World would only ascend to Democracy in the long-term. In the short term, where we all live, it would have to make do with Stability. When the masses gathered in Tahrir Square, they were not harbingers of Democracy for Washington and Tel Aviv: instead, they augured something worse than Mubarak – rule by the Muslim Brotherhood (MB). Visions of Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas ran through their future plans. Israel would be encircled by cartoon character Ayatollahs who resembled Jafar, the Grand Vizier of Agrabah (from Disney’s 1992 Aladdin). It was all too much to bear.

Obama’s White House and State Department seemed unable to keep up with the pace of events in Egypt and in the Arab world in general. One revolutionary wave after another put various scenarios for diplomacy and intervention into the shredder. The popular uprisings did not keep to any timetable, and their phases seemed hard to predict. The intransigence of the people in Tahrir Square, in particular, dazzled the planners. Frank Wisner’s friendly chat with Mubarak got the old man to agree to leave by September. In his place came Intelligence chief Omar Suleiman, an old friend of Israel and the United States. But the people in Tahrir Square seemed to know that if they went home and disbanded the force that they had created, in the dark night Suleiman’s agents would swoop into their homes, take them to Abu Zaabal to be hung upside down and beaten. Too much is known of the ways of the secret police to allow the dynamism of the Tahrir Square to be so easily broken up. Mubarak’s gambit was patently insufficient.

But this is all that the United States could offer. Too much is at stake. The two pillars of U. S. foreign policy must be allowed to remain intact. If they fall, then the U. S. will lose the Middle East in the same way as it has substantially lost South America. These defeats and retreats portend the collapse of U. S. hegemony.

Pillar 1.

The first pillar is to maintain Egypt as a firm ally in the U. S. led war on terror. Here the Mubarak regime is not following the United States. It has interests that parallel those of Washington. The secular regime set up by Gamal Abdul Nasser was already at war with political Islam within Egypt. Nasser’s popularity held the Muslim Brotherhood in check. Nasser’s aide, Anwar Sadat, had been the Egyptian military’s liaison with the Muslim Brotherhood since the 1930s. When he took over from Nasser, Sadat tried to outflank the Brotherhood from the right, calling himself the Believer President (al-rais al-mou’min), and bringing the shari’a into the constitution of 1971. Sadat could not do the job. The Islamists killed him in 1981.

Sadat’s successor, Mubarak, also tried to dance with the Islamists, but was not successful. In 1993, Mubarak picked a career military man, General Omar Suleiman, to run his internal security department, the Mukhabarat el-Aama. Two years later, Mubarak was to go to a meeting in Addis Ababa. Suleiman insisted that an armored car be flown to Ethiopia. Suleiman sat beside Mubarak when the Islamist gunmen opened fire on the car. The armor saved them. Mubarak signed legislation that made it a crime to even sympathize with Islamism, and his regime built five new prisons to fill with Brotherhood members. Some of these prisons became the torture chambers after 9/11 run by Suleiman on behalf of the CIA. Mubarak and Suleiman matched Bush and his clique in their hatred of the Brotherhood. [For more on this, see Lisa Hajjar’s essay Suleiman: the CIA’s Man in Cairo,”al-jazeera, February 7]. They were natural allies.

But Egypt’s willingness to be a partner had been strained by the Iraq War. In 2008, Ambassador Margaret Scobey worried that Egypt’s eagerness had flagged (08Cairo2543, Wikileaks). “The Egyptians have lost confidence in U. S. regional leadership. They believe that the U. S. invasion of Iraq was an unmitigated disaster that has unleashed Iranian regional ambitions and that the U. S. waited far too long to engage in Arab-Israeli peacemaking efforts.” Ambassador Scobey worried that “Egypt’s aging leadership” was averse to change. Defense Minister Field Marshall Tantawi had been in office since 1991, and he had “been the chief impediment to transforming the military’s mission to meet emerging security threats.” Mubarak “is in solid health,” she wrote, and would run and win in the 2011 election. “Despite incessant whispered discussions, no one in Egypt,” she noted, “”has any certainty about who will eventually succeed Mubarak.”

The U. S. had long considered Omar Suleiman to be the best bet. In 2006, the Cairo Embassy wrote (06Cairo2933, Wikileaks), “Our intelligence collaboration with Omar Soliman is now probably the most successful element of the relationship.”

Suleiman saw Iran under the hood of every Brotherhood car. In 2009, he met General David Petraeus in Cairo. Ambassador Scobey wrote a note back to the State Department on July 14 (09Cairo1349, Wikileaks). “Soliman stressed that Egypt suffers from Iranian interference, through its Hezbollah and Hamas proxies, and its support for Egyptian groups like Jamaatt al-Islamiyya and the Muslim Brotherhood,” she wrote. “Egypt will confront the Iranian threat, he continued, by closely monitoring Iranian agents in Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, and any Egyptian cells.” This was music to the ears of the Washington Hawks. Suleiman was a reliable upholder of Pillar no. 1.

Pillar no. 2.

The second pillar of U. S. foreign policy in the region is to protect Israel. Israel has faced no major threat since the 1973 war, when Egypt’s powerful army took it on. The Egypt-Israel peace treat of 1979 allowed Israel to pivot its entire security strategy to face off against much weaker actors, such as Lebanon and the Palestinians. Egypt’s withdrawal has allowed Israel to exert itself with overwhelming force against the Palestinians, in particular. As well, Egypt’s volte-face in 1979 allowed Israel to reduce its defense spending from 30 per cent of its Gross National Product to 7 per cent of its GNP.

As part of this deal, the United States provides each country with a large bursary each year: Israel receives about $3 billion and Egypt receives $1.5 billion. Most of this money goes toward the military and security services of these two allies. The U. S. subvention and the Egypt-Israel peace treaty create an exaggerated asymmetry between the Israeli armed forces and the Palestinian fighters.

Protests in Egypt, with the Muslim Brotherhood as part of the action, sent a tremor through Tel Aviv’s establishment. If a new government comes to power with the Brotherhood in alliance, this might lead to the abrogation of the 1979 treaty. If this were to occur, Israel would once again be faced with the prospect of a hostile Egypt, and its Goliath stance against the Palestinians would be challenged.

In 2008, Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak visited the Egyptian leadership in Cairo. When his team returned to Tel Aviv, his adviser David Hacham debriefed the U. S. embassy’s Luis G. Moreno (08TelAviv1984, Wikileaks). Hacham said that the team was “shocked by Mubarak’s appearance and slurred speech.” They talked about Iran and Mubarak and Barak agreed that “Israel and Egypt have a common strategic interest in stopping the expansion of Iranian influence in the region, as well as a common view of the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program.” Then, strikingly, Moreno wrote a parenthetical note, “We defer to Embassy Cairo for analysis of Egyptian succession scenarios, but there is no question that Israel is most comfortable with the prospect of Omar Soliman.”

If Suleiman takes the reins, in other words, the second pillar of U. S. interests will remain stable.

The actions of U. S. foreign policy have not progressed much from the inclinations of Teddy Roosevelt. In 1907, he wondered if “it is impossible to expect moral, intellectual and material well-being where Mohammedanism is supreme.” The Egyptians were “a people of Moslem fellahin who have never in all time exercised any self-government whatever.” This was disingenuous. Roosevelt knew of course that the British ruled over Egypt. The Egyptians rose in revolt in 1881 under Ahmed Arabi against the Khedive (the British puppet Twefik Pasha), and once more in Alexandria in 1882. These rebellions, or the urge for self-government, was interpreted cynically by the British as its opposite: a reason to stay, to tame the passions of the population. The British would withdraw, the Foreign Office wrote, “as soon as the state of the country and the organization of the proper means for the maintenance of the khedivial authority will admit it.” This promise was repeated almost verbatim sixty-six times between the early 1880s and 1922. It was Nasser who tossed them out in the 1950s. Roosevelt threw in his lot with the British consul, Lord Cromer. Cromer, he said, “is one of the greatest modern colonial administrators, and he has handled Egypt just according to Egypt’s needs.” This is what Omar Suleiman said recently, that Egypt is too immature for democracy in the Enlightenment sense. Wisner whispered just this nonsense in his ear when he was in Cairo.

Tahrir Square burst with enthusiasm and resilience on February 8. The U. S. hastily told the Egyptian authority to make a few more concessions. Anything will do as long as the two pillars remain intact. Joe Biden called Suleiman and told him to make “immediate, irreversible progress.” The U.S. and Israel wanted Suleiman to take the reins at least four years ago. The protests have simply hastened the script. The people of Egypt want to write a new play.

International Forecaster February 2011 (#3) - Gold, Silver, Economy + More

By Bob Chapman, THE INTERNATIONAL FORECASTER, 9 February 2011

The administration and those who control it, the House and Senate, want us to believe that debt can be paid out of revenues now and forever. As inflation and perhaps hyperinflation set in we could easily see 10% interest rates. If that happened debt service would consume more than 40% of tax revenues. The projection that tax receipts over the next four years would grow by 1/3rd is ludicrous. That is more than 12% a year. Further increased taxation would send more companies and jobs offshore. The bottom line is that further will impede GDP growth and further stagnate the economy. Do not forget 70% of GDP is via consumption. There is no conceivable way with free trade, globalization, offshoring and outsourcing preceding a pace and with the manufacturing base in a shambles, that production and exports can pull the economy from its doldrums. How can revenues be increased under such circumstances? At the same time consumers are reducing debt and saving about 4% of income. This kind of environment is not inductive for consumption to rise from 70% of GDP to 74%, which is needed to bring about those revenues.

That brings us to QE2, and $862 billion in spending. QE1 and $868 billion did not cause a lasting recovery, so we do not believe Qe2 and pork spending will either. Last time we had five quarters of 3% to 3-1/4% subsidized growth. We call it the law of diminishing returns. We believe that by the end of September when the fiscal year ends that the Fed will again have spent $1.7 trillion, as they did in QE1, money and credit that they created out of thin air. Presently the expansion in spending from QE1 and stimulus 1 are starting to be monetized within the system in the form of inflation above and beyond that which is needed to neutralize the undertow of asset deflation. Presently Chairman of the Fed Bernanke tells us there is no inflation, and government tells us it is 1-1/2%, when in reality it is 6-3/4%. We believe by the end of the year we will be looking at 14%.

In QE1 the funding went to the financial sector, which was on the verge of bankruptcy. That was followed by record bonuses for the criminal syndicate known as Wall Street. QE2 is being used to bail out the US government by purchasing US Treasury and Agency securities again with funds created out of thin air. In the first process some $13.8 trillion was used to assist financial institutions in both the US and Europe. The Fed wouldn’t tell us what they were up to so the people had to get a court order to force them to reveal where all the funds had gone and how much had been spent.

We have spent ten years in which growth has been created by inflation. As far as we can see in the future this will continue to be the case, and as a result the US dollar will continue to deteriorate versus other major currencies and in particular versus gold and silver. Even though official Fed interest rates are close to zero real rates are advancing. That is in spite of Fed support of the long end of the market. The US 10-year note has recently traveled from 2.20% to 3.65%. It is probably headed to 4% to 4-1/4% by the end of the year. This is a reflection of investors demanding higher yields to protect against further dollar deterioration. These higher rates mean that US debt service will grow in the future causing debt service to become more onerous. As a result the Fed will have to create more money and credit and monetize it by buying ever more Treasuries and create ever more inflation. That is a vicious circle. In the meantime taxes will be raised, which will cut back on economic activity, which will cut revenues eventually and at the same time increase already high unemployment. The Fed is surely headed for a crackup of enormous proportions.

In the House and Senate and in the White House there is no talk of a balanced budget and budget cuts will be at a minimum. The cycle continues of never ending debt, as taxes move relentlessly higher. That includes 44 million on food stamps that could grow to 88 million - 15.7% below the poverty line that could easily double, unemployment at 22.6%, which could double. At the peak in 1933 unemployment, U6, was 37.5%. Yes, this time it will be worse. Workers are now receiving 42% of their income from non-government income. That could fall to 21%. The 18% receiving who get their income could rise to 36%. Calling U3 at 9% is an insult to any thinking American. There is a way to cut costs under the Medical Reform Act; all those with chronic diseases will be allowed to die. Society can no longer afford useless eaters.

Inflation officially is 1.5%. Real inflation is 6-3/4%. It will be 14% by the end of 2011 and higher in 2012, as QE1 and QE2 flow through the system. The creation of inflation does not create jobs. It makes the rich richer. Government is presently trying to redefine a balanced budget by eliminating interest payments, which shows you the arrogance of these criminals. The President and his advisors know that interest payments will eventually become the largest debt budget item.

The President tells us he will increase spending by $20 billion, which will accompany taxes. We certainly do not call this tax reform, but an open door to tax increases and major spending policies. The CBO, the Congressional Budget Office tells us the bipartisan tax cut legislation, or pork package of $862 billion in stimulus, will drive the government’s deficit to a record $1.5 trillion in 2011. Government is going to continue to borrow 40 cents of every dollar it spends. Soon the cash deficit will reach $14.3 trillion, which is the current limit by law. We expect the limit to be raised to about $17 billion and the best we can hope for in spending cuts will be $50 billion. If you subtract the President’s spending increases that is really a $30 billion cut. Who knows at this stage whether these cuts will really become reality. It just shows you the Republicans haven’t changed much. The cuts are really just cosmetic. In addition, the CBO believes GDP growth in 2011 will be 3.1%. We believe it will be 2% to 2-1/4%. If the CBO is incorrect it will deeply affect economic statistics and outcome. If you add in a 2% payroll tax cut this year and extended unemployment benefits you will get much different results. The payroll cut alone will cost another $400 billion.

The CBO also says Social Security will pay out $45 billion more in benefits this year than revenues, because since June 1935 the fund has been looted by channeling revenues through the general fund, which were immediately spent. After the next election in 2012 you can expect a reduction in future benefits and an increase in retirement age further reducing future benefits. We expect a 15-cent a gallon increase in gas taxes and a further scaling back in tax breaks, including the child tax credit. They will also try to eliminate the mortgage interest reduction, which would further devastate the residential real estate industry. The House will attempt to end the deduction claimed by employers who provide health insurance in exchange for rate cuts for corporations. The 500 major corporations are presently sitting on $1.9 trillion in cash, domestically and $1.9 trillion in offshore accounts – a benefit derived from free trade and globalization. There is already in the works, via secret White House talks on December 15th, a plan to bring those funds back into the US at 5-1/4% taxation rather than 35% costing taxpayers $650 billion in lost tax revenue. Those funds will be used to buy company shares boosting them, allowing officers to cash in their stock options and make billions of dollars, prop up the stock market and assist by buying Treasury and Agency bonds. This is what corporatist fascist governments are all about.

From 2010 onward two million addition citizens are expected to sign up for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid annually. The COLA formula has been falsified for 30 years by bogus CPI figures. As bad as that has been and is, it will be much worse when that link is broken and only a flat benefit will be paid as inflation rages. If you couple this with the Medical reform death panels there will be very few Americans roaming around America. They’ll either have been eliminated as useless eaters or starved to death. Believe us this is no exaggeration.

In 2011 the US dollar will continue to deteriorate. It will test 71.18 on the USDX, which are 6 major currencies versus the dollar. The dollar will also fall versus gold and silver as will other currencies. Over the past ten years nine major currencies have fallen an average annually versus gold by 15-1/4% and versus silver 20-2/3%. Those are the real benchmarks of dollar deterioration. Versus the USDX 71.18 should be broken in 2011 and eventually reach 40 to 50 over the next few years as gold and silver rise. Do not forget based on 1980 methods of value, when gold was $850 an ounce officially gold should be selling for $2,400 an ounce. If you use unadjusted figures that price would be $7,700 today. It just shows you the extent of gold suppression by the US government, the Fed and other central banks over those years. If you were depending on Social Security for retirement or your pension, 401K or IRA, forget it. Your only guaranteed protection will come from your gold and silver assets and do not forget that.

The situation in the euro zone is well known to most readers. Greece has borrowed $132 billion or is in the process of doing so, and the EU, the ECB and the IMF are committed to $1 trillion in bailout money for the six countries in trouble. Several of these countries have been downgraded by rating agencies. This situation is problematic, but the US situation is fundamentally worse. In a way the European situation although not good has been used as a cover for US systemic problems. That is because American professionals do not want to hear about it and the American public is still wondering around in the darkness.  They still for the most part do not know what is being done to them, nor generally do they care. It is all Super Bowl and beer while it lasts. The US has been in a mode of printing money instead of producing goods and services for years. Dollars are the world’s reserve currency, which has given the dollar an unnatural extended life. In addition to that foreign countries have continually printed their own currency, bought dollars and bought US Treasuries in order to manipulate and cheapen their currencies. In this process the US has been able to export inflation. In time this unusual situation will end and the inflation will be turned inward in the US becoming very disruptive. This means at the dollar’s present pace it soon won’t be the world’s reserve currency. As currencies such as the dollar fall against other currencies the cost of imported goods will rise and US inflation will get another boost.

America needs to recapture its manufacturing base, which has been the basis of its success for more than 250 years. The way to do that is impose a 25% plus tariff on all goods and services. This is a matter of survival, not politics. The US carried the world for 65 years and it is time for these complainers to pay a price for their success and standard of living. The US will also profit from a much higher savings rates, 10% or more would be helpful. It is currently 4%, down from 7% prior to November.

There is no question that the dollar’s reserve status has and is being abused. The prime reasons for that status was it was the only nation really left standing at the end of WWII, and the dollar was backed by gold. That has not been the case since August 15,1971. If the US is to maintain its dollar status it has to devalue and revalue versus other currencies and go into multilateral default. Then gold backing can again be put behind the dollar. If they do not have the gold they will have to buy or borrow it. If that is not done another currency or group of currencies will have to be used.

Since WWII all other nations have deliberately devalued their currencies. The US didn’t mind because it was by far the strongest nation in the world. Whenever the world had a recession the US bailed it out by creating more money and credit. That made everyone happy and the world rolled along. This is no longer the case. Since the 1980s, at the behest of WTO, NAFTA and CAFTA, the trade tariffs have almost all been removed. This free trade, globalization, offshoring and outsourcing by transnational conglomerates has destroyed America’s internal manufacturing infrastructure with the loss of 42,400 company and 8.5 million good paying jobs. As long as this is allowed to continue America cannot compete and will continue to slip toward a lower status among nations. The only way to stop this headlong rush into oblivion is to leave WTO, NAFTA and CAFTA and reinstitute tariffs including penalties on those countries that insist on continuing to depreciate their currencies. If this is not accomplished with the unpayable debt the country is carrying, it is doomed.

Yes, tariffs mean higher prices for imported goods and more inflation. Our trade deficit would fall and the dollar would stabilize. All those American corporations that moved to foreign countries to take advantage of cheap labor would no longer be able to capitalize on cheap labor and perhaps keeping their profits offshore in secret tax havens when they pay no US taxes. Things have to change and change quickly, or America’s competitive position will be permanently destroyed. Other nations will be able to buy more domestic goods with their stronger currency, raise their standard of living and develop their own domestic economies.

Those whose aim is to bring about world government know that if a country does not have a sound industrial base it can never be successful as a nation. What is being done to the US and Europe in the name of free trade is to force the people of those nations with a collapsing economic and financial structure to accept World Government. This is what this deliberate destruction is all about. In order to rebuild the manufacturing base the US has to erect tariff barriers on goods and services and savings have to be increased. The situation with savings is the same as it was in 1959, 43% of Americans have less than $10,000 saved for retirement. America needs a 10% savings rate if they ever hope to recover. Accumulation of savings has been difficult since 2000 due to declining interest rates. Stocks have risen only 9%, bonds 67%, but gold has risen five-fold and silver six-fold. We have recommended gold and silver coins and shares over that 11-year period so subscribers have been able to save and profit. The other 99% of professionals have been losers, not to mention the losses to inflation. The gold and silver bull market will be the greatest bull market of all-time. There is no safer place to be.

We Don't Need No Stinkin' Jobs (In The U.S.)

The HARD and FAST Facts of Events on 9/11

From SomeUnknownUSHistory :

1.  The Project for a New American stated they needed another Pearl Harbor.  I guess in order to get Americans behind their plan to invade Iraq for control over the oil and Afghanistan for who knows what?

2.  World Trade Center (WTC) building 7 fell down at free fall speed (6.5 seconds).  That is as in dropping a baseball off the top a buildings thru thin air and then hits the ground.    In order for building 7 to collapse as it did, all its supporting  columns would have had to break up within a 10^th of a second of all the rest of columns, as if it were deliberately destroyed by explosive demolition.    Impossible due to fire.  

    No airplanes hit WTC 7 and there were no massive fires burning in this building.  Two witnesses stated that they had been walking down the stairs in this build, when an explosion caused the stairway to collapse.   These two witnesses were video taped crying for help from a window of building 7, while they were trapped inside the building.  

3.  Numerous witnesses and 118 fire fighters reported hearing explosions inside the WTC buildings.   The sound of these explosions was recorded on video tapes news coverage.

4.   No other high rise building on earth has ever collapsed due to fire.  All high rise steel buildings had withstood fires and some have burned for many hours and the fires burnt the entire building, yet they still never collapsed.   

5.  The Twin Towers collapsed too fast. 

They fell down just a few seconds faster than dropping a baseball off the top of these buildings thru thin air.  Also their central cores of the towers contained 47 steel columns and did not take a direct hit by the jet airplanes.

 It is physically impossible for a "gravitational collapse" to proceed so fast, through so many supposedly-undamaged stories below the impact zone in anywhere near the amount of time noted, especially when one considers how much destructive energy was being expended along the way.

6.  High rise building fires and jet fuel fires only burn at from 900 to 1400 degrees F.  The black smoke observed flowing out of the Twin Towers is evidence of a relatively cool fire that is oxygen starved.  The black color in the smoke is cause by soot that did not get complete burnt in a cool fire.   A really hot fire would only produce gray or white smoke.   A person was photographed standing in the hole in the building made by the airplane, so the steel where this person was standing must have cooled enough to stand on and wave for help.

     Remember there was fire proofing around the steel beams inside the Twin Towers.  Even if the force of the airplanes ripped off the fire proofing from the steel on impact, not all this fire proofing would not have been torn off in most of the rest of the building.

   Strength loss for steel begins to weaken at about 600º F and increases rapidly after 800ºF, by 1020ºF steel retains about 60% of its strength. As steel gets hotter, it turns a red, orange, yellow or white as it gets to the melting point of over 4,000 degrees F.   Remember you saw a large amount of the jet fuel go went flying right straight thru the buildings and there explode or burn up in the outside air.  Also there was a nine mph wind blowing cool air through the building, rapidly cooling the steel.   It also takes massive amounts of oxygen in get fires hot enough to melt steel.   Also Yellow hot streams of steel video taped dripping from Twin Tower steel beams before the building collapsed.  This looked like what happens  when a steel worker were cutting steal with a blow torch or welding. 

     After the WTC buildings collapsed, fire fighters reported that there were tones molted/liquid steel "flowing like lava" and the heat from would burn the souls of their boots up to five weeks later.  Photos of yellow hot steel were taken as steel wreckage was being removed.  In addition, overhead thermal photographs of the 911 wreckage and showed 2,000 degrees F. hot spots in the wreckage some six weeks after Sept. 11^th.

7.  Huge steel beams pulled from the wreckage had been bent in half, not broken or ripped apart.  This can only occur when a gigantic steel beam reached over 3,000 degrees F. and is bent.   After the beam cooled, the beam stayed bent in half without cracks or tears in the steel.  If the Twin Towers simply collapsed, these bent steel beams would have crack in the bended steel.   

8.   Photographs were taken of steel beams that were left standing in the wreckage and they had been cut diagonally at 45 degrees.  On the edges of these cuts there was discovered re-solidified steel, appearing as if it had dripped from these 45 degree cuts.   The melted the steel froze as it cooled (like an icicle).   On chemical analysis of this re-solidified steel it was found elements that are not part of a steel.  These elements were iron, sulfur, aluminum, potassium, manganese, fluorine, & titanium and these are the elements found after thermate is used to cut thru steel.   What happens is these chemicals mix with liquid/molten iron/steel as the thermate chemical reaction releases massive amounts of heat during the burning and when the steel cools, these chemicals end up fixed among the steel/iron molecules.  Think about how hot a match gets when you light it.  The chemical reaction cause fire.   This is chemistry in action.

9.  Large amounts of 1/16^th inch pieces thermate was found in four inches of dust left on the streets of New York City.  Thermate is a newly developed and a very high tech chemical compound that is an explosive and it does not occur naturally in the environment.   When it is ignited it immediately reaches 4,500 °F and is used to burns thru steel when it is not exploded.   Microscopic pieces of unexploded thermate were found in the dust around ground zero and it is estimates that tons of it had to come from the collapse WTC buildings.

 Also found in the 911 dust was large amounts of microscopic steel spheres.  These spheres can only occur after steel is vaporized and then is cooled by the air cools.  This is same process that causes water to form rain drops made up of spheres of water.  

Analyses of air samples from the 9/11 WTC (""Ground Zero"") particle plume reveal the unexpected presence of many particles smaller than 1 micron (ie, nano-particles). Among the smaller GZ particles, the distribution of their sizes clearly indicates that they were caused not by pulverization but by widespread molecular dissociation, which occurs only at energy levels higher than what could result from a collapse .

There is a very strong indication that only exotic means could have so rapidly released the vast amount of extremely high intensity energy which suddenly appeared just as the buildings fell.

The amount of energy required to expand the North Tower's dust cloud was many times the entire potential energy of the tower's elevated mass due to gravity.  There was an over 10-fold disparity between the most conservative estimate and the gravitational energy.

10.  Twenty ton perimeter beams were thrown 100 feet away from the building sides at the speed of 50 to 70 miles per hour.   This is impossible simply due to gravity.

11.  About 9 months prior to 911, a large construction modernizing project to the elevators within the Twin Towers had been on going.

12.   If the WTC towers were designed to withstand multiple impacts by Boeing 707 aircraft.  The estimated weight of the 767 jets that hit the Twin Towers was about 266,757 lb.  The maximum take-off weight of a 707 is 336,000 lb.   Also the Twin Towers were build to withstand a 707 flying at about 521 knots (or 600 mph).  We know that is it impossible to fly a 767 at sea level faster than some 300 knots.  

13.   No 757 can fly low enough in order to crash into the first floor of any building at the speed the FAA radar showed flight AA 77 flying.  The force of the wind bouncing off the ground would prevent the 757 from getting lower than about 60 feet.

14.  NO commercial 767 airlines pilot could hit the Twin Towers on the first try doing over 300 knots.   The odds of two such pilots doing so on the first try, is one in a million.

15. The two airplanes that struck the twin towers flew directly into secure computer rooms in both buildings. 

North Tower:  "The fuselage (of the jet) was centered on the 96th floor slab and filled the 95th and 96th floors top to bottom," the NIST report says. NIST also said the 95th floor contained, "Generally open space filled with workstations. Offices, conference rooms, and work areas in exterior corners."

The 95th and 96th floors of the north tower were rented by Marsh & McLennan, Lewis Paul "Jerry" Bremer's company and they said the 95^thfloor had a "large walled data center along north and east sides," according to the NIST report. And that's exactly where the plane hit – the north wall of the 95th floor

South Tower:  While we know that the Fuji Bank was the tenant on floors 79-82 of WTC 2, the NIST report fails to describe the "tenant layout" of floors 79, 81, and 82.   A former Fuji Bank employee stated that Fuji Bank had torn up the 81st floor and stripped it down to the bare bone to reinforce the trusses so that the floor could hold more weight. The entire floor was used to house server-size Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) batteries.   They had been put in place during the summer prior to 9/11, he said. 

16.  Furthermore, NO commercial 757 airlines pilot could have made the spiral diving maneuver of the alleged 757 ( flight AA 77) made because as the jet speed reached over 500 knots and the force of the dense air at sea level would have torn the wings off.  This maneuver was what the FAA radar showed the plane do that day.   Impossible.

17.   Furthermore, why didn't the alleged terrorist just crash the 757 into the center of the bulls eye, the Pentagon vs. the ground floor where the DoD accounting department computers were located and where over $ 2 trillion dollars of taxpayer funds was un-accounted for.  ."The Army accounting office, Resource Services Washington, lost 34 of its 65 employees and most were civilian accountants, bookkeepers and budget analysts.

And there were no holes in the wall of the Pentagon that should have been left by the two massive jet engines from the 757.   The hardest part of the 757 were its jet engines.   Impossible. 

18.  There were some 14 or 15 military war games being conducted on 9/11 which cause the FAA air traffic controllers to be confused about real vs. "exercise"  blips on their radars

The FAA head Jane Garvey said at one point they suspected up to 11 hijackings on 9/11. and they couldn't determine which were real, which were simulated

19.  The Air Force war game Northern Vigilance, was being conducted.  It was an exercise that pulled Air Force fighters from the east coast of the United States up into Canada and Alaska simulating an attack out of Russia.   Furthermore, there was a Air Force war game going on in are or Arizona and New Mexico and the Air Force fighter jets were doing the no-fly zone work in Iraq.   So all of those fighters were rendered useless as the 9/11 plot unfolded.

20.   There was a live-fly Air Force exercise taking place on 9/11 called Vigilant Warrior. Major Don Arias of NORAD confirmed this information. That means that this war game was conducted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff involved at least one real commercial aircraft in the skies being used to simulate exactly the kind of airliner hijack emergency that actually happened on 9/11.

21.  Additionally, Tripod II was a bio-terror exercise being set-up on the west side of lower Manhattan, reportedly scheduled to begin the next day, Sept 12th. This exercise was being coordinated with FEMA and the Department of Justice. 

22. Some 13 plus eye witnesses reported they saw an airliner flying near the Pentagon just prior to a big explosion was heard and smoke seen at the Pentagon on 911, However, they reported this jet flew slightly in on the wrong heading, in such a manner as to fly just off to one side of the Pentagon.   In other words, they was this jet fly to the left of them, and not to the right as should have happened in order for this jet to crash into the Pentagon where the damage occurred.  see the video for yourself.

http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/TPV3/Voices.php/2009/08/30/investigation-pentagon-attack-show-monst 

23.  And there was a super militarized anthrax attack soon after 911 that could only be made at a US government bio-lab.   This attack caused the threat level to go thru the roof out of fear of  possible additional biological terrorist attacks.

28 Aug 2002:     it was reported that Guantanamo captive reveals Al Qaeda conspired with Baghdad in bio-weapon ... "The White House announced today that the long-sought link between Al Qaeda and Iraq's Saddam Hussein has been positively established."  

 This lie was used to increase the fear and false threat level of bio-terrorism of a pandemic to get the US into an illegal war against Iraq without UN Security council approval – a breach of the peace (a violation of the UN treaty and the Geneva and Hague Conventions).  

24.  Bush tried to stall the 911 commission investigation for one year and later starved the commission of funds and refused to share much information with the Commission.

25.  One or two 911 commissioners quit because they were unhappy over how commission was doing its job, or covering up things, or who knows?   The 9/11 Commissioners knew that military officials lied to the Commission, and considered recommending criminal charges for such false statements, yet didn't bother to tell the American people. 

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".

The Senior Counsel to the 9/11 Commission, who led the 9/11 staff's inquiry, John Farmer, 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."

26.   The former director of the FBI, Louis Freeh, says there was a cover up by the 9/11 Commission.

Freeh recounts that military intelligence operation code-named "Able Danger" concluded in February 2000 that military experts had identified Mohammed Atta as an al-Qaida agent operating in the U.S.  "Subsequently, military officers assigned to Able Danger were prevented from sharing this critical information with FBI agents."

In fact, Freeh discloses that 10 days before the report was released, commission staffers met with a Navy officer who said that Able Danger had identified Atta as an al-Qaida member and told the Commission the unit "had identified Mohammed Atta to be a member of an al Qaeda cell located in Brooklyn." But the commission determined that "the officer's account was not sufficiently reliable to warrant revision of the report or further investigation. 

The final 9/11 Commission report, concluded that "American intelligence agencies were unaware of Mr. Atta until the day of the attacks."
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2005/11/17/122900.shtml

27. Roughly, 2/3rds of the 911 Commission Report has in it nothing to do about what evidence I have discussed about.   It is about the development of Al Qaeda and Islamic terrorism.

28.  NIST changes their story

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Department of Commerce - working to keep people safe. And NIST lied about the fact that they did not start the timing of the amount of time it took for building 7 to fall down.   They started their stop-watch until 5.3 seconds after the building already had started falling. 

How could the smart people at NIST screw up this badly in their analysis? The only rational conclusion is that they deliberately lied and wanted to hided the TRUTH that building 7 fall down so fast. 

Remember the pancake theory?  Well, NIST changed their story.   They now say are saying the pancake theory is wrong after scientist confronted NIST about the above lie.

There is more than one person or group responsible for the forgery and / or manipulation of video tapes of flight UA175 moving at Impossible Speeds.

29.  The TV broadcasts of videos tapes of UA flight 175 flying into WTC 2, South Tower show that groups or individuals alerted the speed at which this airplane appeared to be flying.   Analysis of these videos show different speeds as follows:

Massachusetts Institute of Technology          - 503 mph / 436 knots
British Royal Air Force                                   - 575 mph / 500 knots
Federal Aviation Administration                    - 586 mph / 510 knots
National Institute of Standards and Tech.     - 546 mph / 475 knots
Federal Emergency Management Agency      - 590 mph / 514 knots 

A former Boeing 767-200 Captain about the aerodynamic limitations of the Boeing 767-200 aircraft and he stated that it would be unwise to exceed an indicated airspeed of 400 knots (460 mph at sea level) at any altitude.  This airspeed of 400 knots at sea level is well outside the maximum operating speed of the Boeing 767-200 and therefore the pilots would run the risk of either total structural failure or localized structural failures, namely wing fairings breaking off, engine cowlings breaking off, control surfaces breaking off or becoming inoperative and handling difficulties.

It appears from analysis of the video photos just prior to UA 175 crashing into the south tower, that someone has used video fakery possibly to hide the fact that a 737 jet hit the building and not a 767.   http://612ua.0catch.com/

30.  It is humanly impossible to fly a 767 jet in the way UA 175 was flown because it required considerable accuracy.  Only a automatic guidance system can fly in jet in this manner.

31.  American Airlines flight 77 that allegedly hit the Pentagon.   The radar blips that appeared on the FAA aircraft controllers radar screen indicating this aircraft were faked.   And on looking at the flight data recordings  (FDR) from the alleged AA 77 black box, it data was also faked.    Here is the evidence of this crime.

Now, Mr. Dennis Cimino proves the AA 77 flight data recording was faked.

He has analyzed this FDR black box data.  He is an expert with over 30 years of advance research experience in the following areas:

SPH-2 RAVIR , flight data recorders and data ,  video processing , radar, radar recorders, radar signal propagation, IFF /// friendly vs. foe /// / ( the ID code number that comes up on the radar scope at the FAA aircraft control center and tells, Aerodynamics and flight systems, and is a commercial pilot.

Mr. Cimino has learned that the digital staggering of radar sweeps is the result of playback of recorded digital video recording.  When he plotted the radar sweep times, he saw a 24.7 second delay in the NEADs feed, as well as the digital staggering of the radars in the NEADs as well as the air defense sector that day.   From this it can be proved that someone recorded the data on the flight data recorder, two years earlier.  Radar is never delayed 24.7 seconds before 911, nor has it been since then.

 32.  Rabbi Dov Zakheim was the appointed Undersecretary of Defense and Comptroller under the AWOL George W. Bush.   DuringZakheim's tenure as Pentagon controller from May 4, 2001, to March 10, 2004, over $3 trillion dollars were unaccounted for.

Additionally, military Information was jeopardized and military contractors billed the US for Israeli items, $50 million dollar fighter jets sold to Israel at a lower cost because they were rated  as surplus.  As the scandal surfaced and Zakheim resigned.   

Also while he was working for the Reagan administration, Zakheim talked them into funding development of the Lavi Fighter at a cost of $3 billion. The Lavi was a total flop and Israel dropped it, though it owed $450 million in contract fees that were cancelled. Reagan gave Israel $500 million for its lost contracts. Reagan then threw in a wing of F-16's as a bonus.

Zakheim was an Executive Officer of System Planning Corporation until President George W. Bush appointed him Undersecretary of Defense and Comptroller of the Pentagon. System Planning Corporation designs and manufactures highly sophisticated technology that enables an operator to fly airplanes by remote control from either on the ground or airborne in another aircraft.  "For example, the Flight Termination System technology could hijack hijackers and bring the plane down safely.

Zakheim had access to things like structural integrity, blueprints and any number of important facets of information about the WTC through his work with TRIDATA CORPORATION in the investigation of the bombing of the WTC in 1993.

 Zakheim was associated with Project for a New American Century that noted the need for a Pearl Harbor type of event to foster the frame of mind required for the American public to accept such a radical foreign policy agenda

33.    Larry Silverstein, owner of the Twin Towers and WTC 7, knew the towers required some $200 million in renovations and improvements, mostly related to the need to remove and replace materials declared to be health hazards inside the buildings.  

     The World Trade Center complex came under the control of a private owner for the first time in mid-2001. Prior to this the WTC had been managed by the Port Authority as a public resource. The complex was leased to a partnership of Silverstein Properties and Westfield America.   The new controllers acquired a very large insurance policy for the complex including a clause that in the event of a terrorist attack.   As a result of buildings collapse,  Silverstein made $1.33 BILLION in profit. 

There had been a major modernization construction project going on in the Twin Towers prior to 911 by ACE Elevator and Securicom, as well as Kroll Associates

34.  Some 200 Israeli spies posing as Art Students were arrested on suspicion of espionage after 9/11

The June 2001 a leaked DEA memo, stated that more than 120 young Israeli citizens, posing as art students and peddling cheap paintings, had been repeatedly - and inexplicably - attempting to penetrate 28 DEA offices and 29 private residences of DEA agents, and other law enforcement and Defense Department offices across the country.  The most activity was reported in the state of Florida.  Dozens were arrested for visa violations and deported, according to the memorandum.

Others among the "art students" had specific military backgrounds in EXPLOSIVES, electronic surveillance, military intelligence, or were associated with Israeli wiretapping and surveillance firms.  FBI agents working this case were angry that these spies were released before they had finish their interrogations and investigation, especially based on their backgrounds.

In at least six urban centers, suspected Israeli spies and the alleged 9/11 hijackers and/or al-Qaeda connected suspects lived and operated near one another, in some cases less than half a mile apart, for various periods during 2001. Fifteen of the 19 alleged plotters of the Sept. 11 attacks were living in the Hollywood, Fla., area, and more than 30 of the young Israelis also lived in the same area during this time period.

These "art students" are classic intelligence operatives appeared before and after major terrorist events and covert operations conducted by the Mossad.

35.  Five employees who worked for a company Urban Moving Systems were observed dancing in calibration and filming the WTC fires. On about September 12, wen the FBI went to question the owner of Urban Moving Systems, Dominick Suter,  , he was removing boxes of documents and a dozen computer hard drives from his business.   When the FBI returned a few days later, Suter had fled the country.  Hs five employees were arrested for suspicion of involvement with the 911 attack.   After being held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn for 71 days, the five Israelis were permitted to fly home to Israel, a decision prompted -- over the objection of the CIA -- by pressure being applied on the Bush administration from the Jerusalem Mayor Ehud Olmert and New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.   The FBI learned thatSuter was an Israeli Mossad agent.

Dominick Suter, may have been providing cover for an Israeli intelligence operation.   

http://www.rense.com/general87/14_2.htm

Fox News removes its series on the "art student" spy ring (see December 12-15, 2001) from its website after only two days, in response to pressure from the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA), the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America.

36.  Disinformation – information warfare (aka propaganda directed at Americans that Al Qaeda done 911)  Remember Oswald was the patsy for the murder of  JFK. 

Lawrence A. Franklin who was a Defense Department policy analyst, was convicted of espionage in 2005.   Franklin gave classified information to two pro-Israel lobbyist with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and unidentified members of the media. Also 83 classified documents were found in a search of his home.  The US Justice Department dropped its case against the two AIPAC spies who had recruited Franklin to spy for Israel.

Franklin also had worked in the Office of Strategic Influence.   It is highly likely that this office of the Pentagon run by neo-cons, was leaking national security information to the news media to influence public opinion in favor of an invasion of Iraq and falsely connect the alleged Al Qaeda 911 terrorist to Iraq.    The Office of Special Influence was headed by the Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence, like Stephen Cambone and William Luti,  both who were neo-cons.   Its staff was hand-picked by William Luti, a former aide to Cheney and Newt Gingrich.

Here is an example of a leak to the media:   It was alleged that a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee leaked top secret/ sensitive compartmented information they were briefed about on about August 6th, 2001.

 "A 1999 report from the National Intelligence Council, which oversees government intelligence analysis, saying 'Suicide bomber (s) belonging toAl Qaeda's martyrdom Battalion could crash-land an aircraft packed with high explosives into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the [CIA] or the White House. "

Patrick Lang, a former director of Middle East analysis at the Defense Intelligence Agency, said in an interview with the New Yorker magazine in May that the Office of Special Plans "started picking out things that supported their thesis and stringing them into arguments that they could use with the President. It's not intelligence. It's political propaganda."

http://fuller.mit..edu/peace/special_plans.html

On August 26, 2002, at the 103d National Convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars , Chaney said "they [the Iraqi regime] continue to pursue the nuclear program they began so many years ago... we now know that Saddam has resumed his efforts to acquire nuclear weapons... Should all his ambitions be realized... [he could] subject the United States or any other nation to nuclear blackmail."

Yet a few months earlier, Vice Adm. Thomas Wilson, the head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, had testified in Congress that there was no intelligence suggesting Saddam's intention was to build up a WMD arsenal so he could deploy it against the United States.  In fact, the existing intelligence indicated Saddam was not interested in a WMD showdown with the United States.  

The CIA's national intelligence estimate (NIE) would later state, Saddam was not likely to mount "terrorist attacks with conventional or [WMD] against the United States, fearing that exposure of Iraqi involvement would provide Washington a stronger cause for making war" against Iraq.

Four fake Terrorism Alerts to pointing the finger to al Qaeda

1. Sept 11 thru 24, 2002:  Threat level raised to orange for the first time:  Aschcroft said, "Al Qaeda cells in several South Asian countries have been accumulating explosives since January and may be planning car bomb or other attacks on US facilities". ," President Bush said at the Afghanistan Embassy in Washington. "We have no specific threat to America, but we're taking everything seriously," he said.

Senators Back President Bush on Iraq Resolution (S. J. Res. 46), October 2, 2002:

 2.   March 17 thru Apr 16, 2003:  Threat level raised to orange "While al Qaeda remains the principal concern, we are also concerned Iraqi state agents, Iraqi surrogate groups or ad hoc groups or disgruntled individuals might choose to use the time period as well to launch attacks against the United States or against our coalition partners," said Homeland Security spokesman Gordon Johndroe.

In January of 2003 FBI and CIA whistleblowers told Capitol Hill Blue (news)  that the White House was scripting phony terror alerts to maintain hysteria, upkeep President Bush's approval ratings and milk extra defense funding. The report that five Pakistani men had entered the States via Canada and were planning on carrying out a dirty bomb or biological attack was completely conjured up by the Bush administration's black propaganda office. New York Harbor was shut down to visibly pump up the fear.

"Other sources within the bureau and the CIA said the administration is pressuring intelligence agencies to develop "something, anything" to support an array of non-specific terrorism alerts issued by the White House and the Department of Homeland Security

19 March 2003 - US military invades Iraq (D+1).  

3. May 28, 2004 The latest hype from Ashcroft stating Al Quada's  is now 90% ready to conduct their next attack on the US  (up from the 70% intelligence agencies' estimate). 

Attorney General John Ashcroft warned of an attack planned on America for sometime in the coming months. That may happen, but NBC News has learned one of Ashcroft's sources is highly suspect.  http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5087301/

4. July 9, 2004:  Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge said ".. Credible (intelligence) reporting now indicates that al-Qaeda is moving forward with its plans to carry out a large-scale attack in the United States in an effort to disrupt our democratic process... that could cause the postponement of the November presidential election.  (a crisis of democracy).

Also one official said, "…intercepted "chatter" among Al Qaeda operatives—has led analysts to conclude "they want to interfere with the elections."

In July 2004, other counterterrorism officials concede they have no intel about any specific plots.    

However, in August 2009, Tom Ridge wrote in his book that he was "pushed to raise the security alert on the eve of President Bush's re-election, something he saw as politically motivated and worth resigning over."

36.   Immigration and Naturalization Service) granted visas to 15 of the 19 hijackers.  Their applications were incomplete and incorrect. They were all young, single, unemployed males, with no apparent means of support -- the kind considered classic overstay candidates. State Department official Michael Springmann worked spent two years as chief of the visa section at the U.S. Consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. When he protested, his superiors repeatedly ordered him to issue visas to unqualified Arabs applicants who also matched the prolife of terrorist. 

The State Department did not run the Consulate in Jeddah. The CIA did.

The alleged 9/11 Muslim extremists/hijackers were seen using cocaine, hiring prostitutes, dranking alcohol, etc.,  as if they repeatedly went out of their way to draw attention to themselves as crazed, potential terrorists, as if to build a "legend" back-story.  Additionally many FBI agents attempting to investigate these alleged hijackers were repeatedly and consistently blocked and ordered not to investigate these guys, despite forceful protestations. 

Six of these alleged Al Qaeda terrorists received training at US military bases.  Pensacola Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas,  Air War College, Maxwell-Gunter Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama, the Defense Language Institute school at Monterey, CA, and USAF School of Aerospace Medicine at Brooks Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.
