Ever since September 11, there have been rumbling conspiracy theories about the event. Steven Jones, physics professor at that hotbed of radical thought Brigham Young University, published a paper explaining how the WTC buildings could not have collapsed without the help of explosive devices. Attorney General Ashcroft stopped flying commercial aircraft in August of 2001. Such theories have been widely attributed to wackos and nutjobs, but many of us, seeing how the current administration has twisted the world into their own plaything since September 11, have wondered if those theories were so crazy after all.

The Moussaoui trial has brought September 11 back into the public consciousness, and has publicized the fact (formerly relegated to “wacko conspiracy nuts) that the FBI never acted on a memo from an agent in the field reporting that Islamic fundamentalists were taking classes in local flight schools. Harry Samit testified that he had warned his superiors over 70 times about a conspiracy to fly airplanes into buildings, and these warnings were not heeded.

Moussaoui had been detailed by the FBI in August 0f 2001, but despite their knowledge that he had attended the same flight school as an admitted Al Qaeda operative and French intelligence warned of Moussaoui’s ties to Osama bin Laden, the FBI let him go without further investigation.

Jill at Brilliant at Breakfast comments that the mainstream media is beginning to pick up the story, and sends the link to a report in Monday’s New York Magazine on a lecture by Webster Tarpley, author of 9-11 – Synthetic Terror: made in USA:

According to Tarpley, this, roughly, is how it went down on September 11: Cheney, Rumsfeld, and the Pet Goat-engrossed president played their assigned roles enabling the strange events of the day, including the wholesale “stand-down” of the multi-trillion-dollar American air-defense system. Cued by fellow mole Richard Clarke, the main players made sure the CIA-owned-and-operated Osama and his alleged 72-virgin-craving crew got the blame, the towers collapsing not from fire, as reported by the brainwashed mainstream media, but thanks to a well-planned “controlled demolition.”
Laying out his scenario, Tarpley touched on many of the “unanswered questions” that make up the core of the 9/11 Truth critique of the so-called Official Story.
Like: How, if no steel-frame building had ever collapsed from fire, did three such edifices fall that day, including 7 World Trade Center, which was not hit by any airplane?

And why, if hydrocarbon-fueled fire maxes out at 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit and steel melts at 2,700 degrees, did the towers weaken sufficiently to fall in such a short time–only 56 minutes in the case of the South Tower?

And why, if the impact destroyed the planes’ supposedly crash-proof flight-recorder black boxes, was the FBI able to find, in perfect condition, the passport of Satam al Suqami, one of the alleged American Airlines Flight 11 hijackers?

And how to explain the nonperformance of the FAA and NORAD?

How could they, an hour after the first World Trade Center crash, allow an obviously hostile airplane to smash into the Pentagon, headquarters of the entire military-industrial complex, for chrissakes? And why did the Defense Department choose to stage an extraordinary number of military exercises on 9/11–occupying matériel and spreading confusion about who was who on that day?

Pluto turned retrograde today, and as Pluto moves backwards it re-gurgitates information that we thought was behind us, exposing the secrets that we would prefer remain underground. Like the god of the underworld that it represents, Pluto dredges up all matter of psychic debris that holds us back from moving forward, not only in our personal lives but in the global arena as well. It will be fascinating to see what other eruptions come forth into the media over the next few months as Pluto continues its retrograde journey.
